Women's Not So Distant History

This #WomensHistoryMonth, let's not forget how many of our rights were only won in recent decades, and weren’t acquired by asking nicely and waiting. We need to fight for our rights. Here's are a few examples:

📍 Before 1974's Fair Credit Opportunity Act made it illegal for financial institutions to discriminate against applicants' gender, banks could refuse women a credit card. Women won the right to open a bank account in the 1960s, but many banks still refused without a husband’s signature. This allowed men to continue to have control over women’s bank accounts. Unmarried women were often refused service by financial institutions entirely.

📍 Before 1977, sexual harassment was not considered a legal offense. That changed when a woman brought her boss to court after she refused his sexual advances and was fired. The court stated that her termination violated the 1974 Civil Rights Act, which made employment discrimination illegal.⚖️

📍 In 1969, California became the first state to pass legislation to allow no-fault divorce. Before then, divorce could only be obtained if a woman could prove that her husband had committed serious faults such as adultery. 💍By 1977, nine states had adopted no-fault divorce laws, and by late 1983, every state had but two. The last, New York, adopted a law in 2010.

📍In 1967, Kathrine Switzer, entered the Boston Marathon under the name "K.V. Switzer." At the time, the Amateur Athletics Union didn't allow women. Once discovered, staff tried to remove Switzer from the race, but she finished. AAU did not formally accept women until fall 1971.

📍 In 1972, Lillian Garland, a receptionist at a California bank, went on unpaid leave to have a baby and when she returned, her position was filled. Her lawsuit led to 1978's Pregnancy Discrimination Act, which found that discriminating against pregnant people is unlawful

📍 It wasn’t until 2016 that gay marriage was legal in all 50 states. Previously, laws varied by state, and while many states allowed for civil unions for same-sex couples, it created a separate but equal standard. In 2008, California was the first state to achieve marriage equality, only to reverse that right following a ballot initiative later that year. 

📍In 2018, Utah and Idaho were the last two states that lacked clear legislation protecting chest or breast feeding parents from obscenity laws. At the time, an Idaho congressman complained women would, "whip it out and do it anywhere,"

📍 In 1973, the Supreme Court affirmed the right to safe legal abortion in Roe v. Wade. At the time of the decision, nearly all states outlawed abortion with few exceptions. In 1965, illegal abortions made up one-sixth of all pregnancy- and childbirth-related deaths. Unfortunately after years of abortion restrictions and bans, the Supreme Court overturned Roe in 2022. Since then, 14 states have fully banned care, and another 7 severely restrict it – leaving most of the south and midwest without access. 

📍 Before 1973, women were not able to serve on a jury in all 50 states. However, this varied by state: Utah was the first state to allow women to serve jury duty in 1898. Though, by 1927, only 19 states allowed women to serve jury duty. The Civil Rights Act of 1957 gave women the right to serve on federal juries, though it wasn't until 1973 that all 50 states passed similar legislation

📍 Before 1988, women were unable to get a business loan on their own. The Women's Business Ownership Act of 1988 allowed women to get loans without a male co-signer and removed other barriers to women in business. The number of women-owned businesses increased by 31 times in the last four decades.

📍 Before 1965, married women had no right to birth control. In Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), the Supreme Court ruled that banning the use of contraceptives violated the right to marital privacy.

📍 Before 1967, interracial couples didn’t have the right to marry. In Loving v. Virginia, the Supreme Court found that anti-miscegenation laws were unconstitutional. In 2000, Alabama was the last State to remove its anti-miscegenation laws from the books.

📍 Before 1972, unmarried women didn’t have the right to birth control. While married couples gained the right in 1967, it wasn’t until Eisenstadt v. Baird seven years later, that the Supreme Court affirmed the right to contraception for unmarried people.

📍 In 1974, the last “Ugly Laws” were repealed in Chicago. “Ugly Laws” allowed the police to arrest and jail people with visible disabilities for being seen in public. People charged with ugly laws were either charged a fine or held in jail. ‘Ugly Laws’ were a part of the late 19th century Victorian Era poor laws. 

📍 In 1976, Hawaii was the last state to lift requirements that a woman take her husband’s last name.  If a woman didn’t take her husband’s last name, employers could refuse to issue her payroll and she could be barred from voting. 

📍 It wasn’t until 1993 that marital assault became a crime in all 50 states. Historically, intercourse within marriage was regarded as a “right” of spouses. Before 1974, in all fifty U.S. states, men had legal immunity for assaults their wives. Oklahoma and North Carolina were the last to change the law in 1993.

📍  In 1990, the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) – most comprehensive disability rights legislation in U.S. history – was passed. The ADA protected disabled people from employment discrimination. Previously, an employer could refuse to hire someone just because of their disability.

📍 Before 1993, women weren’t allowed to wear pants on the Senate floor. That changed when Sen. Moseley Braun (D-IL), & Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) wore trousers - shocking the male-dominated Senate. Their fashion statement ultimately led to the dress code being clarified to allow women to wear pants. 

📍 Emergency contraception (Plan B) wasn't approved by the FDA until 1998. While many can get emergency contraception at their local drugstore, back then it required a prescription. In 2013, the FDA removed age limits & allowed retailers to stock it directly on the shelf (although many don’t).

📍  In Lawrence v. Texas (2003), the Supreme Court ruled that anti-cohabitation laws were unconstitutional. Sometimes referred to as the ‘'Living in Sin' statute, anti-cohabitation laws criminalize living with a partner if the couple is unmarried. Today, Mississippi still has laws on its books against cohabitation.

UPDATE

I did the last thing I wanted to do in this situation. I called and spoke to my parents about what’s going on. Which you know is a super duper fun thing to do.

Niether of them could help, which I figured before even reaching out. I’m filing the response to the lawsuit tomorrow. Well, I hope I am, I’m not sure how much it costs, so that may be a Friday after I get paid but before work kind of deal.

As soon as I get Paid Friday I am also going to call and offer what I can and try and set up a payment plan with the stipulation they drop the court case, hopefully that works.

You know what would be a hysterical fic premise?

Someone sees that Phoenix's office is labelled the "Wright Anything Agency" and decides to put that to the test to see if "Anything" really does mean anything.

A man comes into the office telling them his car is busted and he needs to get it fixed. The WAA, sticking to their name, decide to fix his car, despite knowing nothing about cars (most of them can't even drive one).

The next day, a lady comes in asking them to bake her a cake for her son's fourth birthday. They oblige, despite never having baked anything in their lives.

The next day, an older man looking to retire asks for financial advice and how much to invest for his children's inheritance and how much he can blow on a cruise.

The next day, a woman comes in looking for a trendy haircut for a first date she's going on.

The WAA gets a reputation for sticking by the "Anything" in their name, and giving any and every task some good old gusto, even if they really suck at what they do.

Then, through some kind of evidence, Phoenix discovers that the people who come in asking for various services, are all the same person in different disguises, and they were just dicking around to see if the WAA really could keep their promise.

The next day the man comes in asking for a caramel frappuccino with whip and someone to groom his dog. The WAA complies.

While Mercury is typically associated with themes of versatility, communication, and intellect, let's take discuss this planet's influence through the lens of the Seven Deadly Sins. Our journey will lead us to discover what happens when Mercury takes on the role of envy, and how this interpretation can shed new light on Mercury's presence in each of the astrological houses. So, let's get started and unravel the Mercury-envy connection in our charts!

★・・・・・・★・・・・・・★・・・・・★・・・・

★・・・・・・★・・・・・・★・・・・・★・・・・

Mercury in the 1st House: Envious Self-Perception When Mercury, symbolizing envy, resides in the 1st house of identity and self-expression, individuals may experience jealousy related to their own self-image. This placement can lead to comparisons with others and a tendency to covet qualities they perceive as superior in their peers. Nurturing self-confidence and embracing individuality is key to overcoming these envious tendencies.

Mercury in the 2nd House: Coveting Material Success In the 2nd house of material possessions and values, Mercury's envy may manifest as a strong desire for financial success and material acquisitions. Individuals with this placement may often compare their wealth and possessions to others, potentially leading to feelings of inadequacy. Learning to appreciate their unique resources and value beyond material wealth is essential.

Mercury in the 3rd House: Envy in Communication When envy takes root in the 3rd house of communication and intellect, individuals may struggle with comparing their ideas, writing, or speaking abilities to others. This can lead to feelings of insecurity in expressing themselves effectively. Embracing their unique style of communication and learning from others rather than envying their skills is the path to growth.

Mercury in the 4th House: Envy in Family Dynamics In the 4th house of home and family, Mercury's envy may manifest as comparing one's family life or upbringing to that of others. Individuals may grapple with feelings of jealousy related to family dynamics or relationships. Finding gratitude for their own family and seeking emotional healing is essential to overcoming these envious emotions.

Mercury in the 5th House: Envy in Creativity In the 5th house of creativity and self-expression, individuals may experience envy related to their creative talents and hobbies. This placement can lead to comparisons with other artists and a fear of not measuring up. Embracing their unique creative voice and viewing the creative process as a personal journey rather than a competition can help them overcome envy.

Mercury in the 6th House: Envy in Work and Service When envy infiltrates the 6th house of work and service, individuals may compare their work habits, routines, or health to those of others. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy or the need to prove themselves. Learning to appreciate their own contributions and focus on personal growth rather than envy is essential in this house.

Mercury in the 7th House: Envy in Relationships In the 7th house of partnerships and relationships, individuals may grapple with envy related to their significant others or desire for the perfect partnership. Comparisons with other couples or a longing for what others have can be common. Cultivating trust and mutual respect in relationships and understanding that each partnership is unique is key.

Mercury in the 8th House: Envy in Transformation In the 8th house of transformation and shared resources, Mercury's envy may manifest as a desire for the deep psychological insights or shared resources that others possess. These individuals may struggle with feelings of inadequacy or a need to uncover hidden truths. Embracing their own journey of transformation and seeking knowledge for personal growth can help them overcome envy.

Mercury in the 9th House: Envy in Exploration In the 9th house of exploration and higher learning, individuals with Mercury representing envy may feel envious of others' experiences, travels, or philosophical wisdom. They may compare their own journeys to those of more worldly individuals, leading to feelings of restlessness. Embracing their unique path of learning and seeking wisdom for personal growth can help them overcome envy.

Mercury in the 10th House: Envy in Career When envy finds its place in the 10th house of career and public image, individuals may compare their professional achievements and status to others. This can lead to a constant need for recognition and a fear of not measuring up to societal standards. Focusing on personal fulfillment and aligning their career with their values can help them overcome career-related envy.

Mercury in the 11th House: Envy in Social Circles In the 11th house of social circles and community, envy may manifest as comparisons with friends, groups, or social influencers. Individuals may desire the popularity or achievements of others, potentially leading to feelings of isolation. Cultivating genuine connections and appreciating their unique contributions within their social circles can help them overcome envy.

Mercury in the 12th House: Envy in the Subconscious When envy resides in the 12th house of the subconscious and hidden realms, individuals may grapple with unacknowledged envy buried deep within their psyche. This can manifest as a vague sense of dissatisfaction or confusion. Exploring their inner world through introspection and seeking emotional healing can help them uncover and address these hidden envious tendencies.

Remember that these interpretations provide insights into how envy may manifest when Mercury is placed in each astrological house. Individual experiences can vary, and personal growth and self-awareness are key to managing and transforming envious feelings.

The city of Hayek North Dakota does not exist. 

In august of 1909, IRS headquarters in washington D.C. was damaged by fire. No employees were hurt, but important financial archives suffered significant damage. Three years later, construction began on The IRS Archival Warehouse 1 in the city of Hayek North Dakota. As of writing, IRSAW1 spans more than 1.4 Million square feet, with the surrounding town spanning more than 28 square miles. 

Declassification is pending, but modern scholars believe that early experiments into “financial clairvoyance” were conducted at IRSAW1. With the clarity of hindsight, the facility was almost perfectly situated for hypnofinantial experimentation. Not only was the facility one of the first in the US to make use of hypnophone technology for accelerated learning, but the remote location and high security created an atmosphere of monastic isolation and boredom. If this weren’t enough, the nearby illicit pharmaceutical hotspot of White Rapids provided employees with extensive access to psychoactives. Contact with the sub-finantial background grid was all but inevitable. 

Preliminary experiments were conducted in utility closets modified with soundproofing, usually with a large comfortable chair placed at the center. While this method was a serviceable approximation of modern sensory deprivation protocol, researchers quickly noticed a strange pattern: some closets provided significantly more accurate results. 

At first, this was thought to be the result of differences in soundproofing, as the closets themselves were uniform concrete squares. Once soundproofing protocol was standardized, researchers realized that results improved dramatically the closer the subject was to the building’s lobby. The architecture itself was a factor.

It was at this point that the building’s architect was arrested, briefed, and brought onboard as a member of senior research staff. Fredrick Takács, later described by agents as a “quivering little Hungarian” was an urban planner and architect known for his signature gold-and-concrete “deco-haus” style. His input would prove invaluable. Takács’s work would form the bedrock of the field now known as Hypnoarchitecture. 

An incredible breakthrough. In december of 1970, researchers discovered that the unique gold alloy plating favored by Takács acted as a relay for delta-wave radiation. With this knowledge, researchers were able to increase the breadth, accuracy, and stability of hypnofinantial precognition to a level previously thought impossible. In may of 1970, construction began on extensive modifications to IRSAW1.

Hayek North Dakota does not have citizens. Its homes are unfurnished concrete, and were never occupied. The entire “town” of Hayek North Dakota was, in reality, a colossal sub-finantial delta-band antenna built around the former site of IRSAW1. The perimeter of the area now known as the Dakota Exclusion Zone is patrolled 24/7 by the National Guard. Current estimates say that spending even 48 hours inside the EZ would result in lethal psychoeconomic damage.

Study is ongoing.

At first, Nilou was a bit wary of Cyno, but after the Archon Quest, she understands him more and enjoy to discover new thing about him ! At the point sometime she thinks he is kind of cute

Dehya : so what do you think abt cyno Nilou : He- he is adorable. Dehya : BAHAHAHA THE GENERAL MAHAMATRA, ADORABLE ? This guy sure is cute but bahaha the way you said sound like you have a crush on him haha Nilou : *blush* Dehya : ... ohwaitwhat ???tell us more omg??????

In one of their hang-out date, Cyno starting to ramble about his special interest aka TCG... then he suddenly stopped, a bit embarassed "huh... maybe it doesn't interest you- we can talk about something else-" (usually he doesn't mind but he is concious abt what he say now when he is alone with nilou). But Nilou was listening to him, carefully, with a genuine and warm smile "please keep going ! I love seeing you being happy"

Before some repetition, Nilou would start to become nervous. Cyno would rassure her, by telling something like "Believe in you. You know you are capable, it is not the first time. Show us how much you love dancing. You can do it" (I JUST LOVE THEM SUPPORTING EACH OTHER !!!)

No one would expected the general mahamatra and the famous dancer dating. Except their close friend who witnessing a slow-burn love. When they finally make out, everyone is like "omg finally"

they r two adults but still damm embarassed to hold hand in public.

Cyno's love language is gift and act of service, Nilou's love language is word of affirmation and quality time (still unsure about this HC tho !)

#cylou #reply #cynilou #i am sure i have more HC but huuuh I think it is enough for now ????

Hello! can I ask for a general reading of BTS in 2025 like what will actually happen when they come after their military service? I do not think they'll be active as a group right after they come back. I would love to see your opinion.

General reading for BTS 2025- (much information came through but I shared what I felt comfortable sharing, if spirits allow me I will add more points later)

BTS when they will return after Military service will be unstoppable and not afraid to prove their points. They will be widening their perspectives with a pioneering spirit and maybe even exploring the genres of music that have been untouched by other K-pop groups or by other artists altogether. I am seeing a record room with Suga, Jhope, and RM specifically. They are going to take risks without any fear. As a group, they will be together but we might be getting more solo projects by the members too, or even a solo world tour (Jimin or JK) with other members as their guests. This will be the start of something new with them looking for their real truth like discovering their deep hidden talents and ideas. The company will not be able to control them anymore when it comes to their creative projects.

Their work and personal life will be more balanced than before and they will be in charge of their own schedules. I am getting something about them getting good rewards from their past deeds? Like they did something for someone behind the scenes and they will be rewarded/praised for it internationally?? They will have many options and choices to choose from but they must be careful while making that decision.

BTS will be on the financial roll, making money and fortune from everything and everyone. Many projects are waiting for them to return from the services. Yes, they will be breaking free from something or someone who has been controlling them for a long period. I am also seeing them expressing their views on some controversial topics without hesitation.

If they will continue working as a group- They will but their main focus will be on their own solo projects and making their own directions. They will be more focused inwards to make their decisions.

PART FOUR OF 'REVENANT' SERIES Damon Salvatore x Winchester!Sister!Hunter!Reader  The Vampire Diaries x Supernatural Mini-Series Synopsis: Y/N Winchester was tired of living in her brothers' shadows; she needed to do something for herself for a change. When she heads to Mystic Falls, a town she was always warned to stay away from, she finds she may have taken on more than she can handle. Will she be able to eradicate the supernatural from the uncanny town? Or will she find herself tangled amongst it? WARNINGS: Descriptions of a dead body. Mentions of Murder. Words: 2,724k Blog Masterlist / Series Masterlist <Previous Part | Next Part (Coming Soon) >

The faint light of a street lamp shone through the limpid drapes of the modest motel Y/N Winchester had called home for nearly three months. Upon opening her eyes, a feeling of apprehension settled in her stomach; today was the day of The Founder’s Ball, and the idea of Damon being her date both thrilled her and left her stricken. She had still not shaken the possibility of Damon being a vampire, albeit trying desperately not to entertain the thought.

She had hoped to sleep in this morning, though it seemed her body had other plans. Sighing, she turned over and glanced at the cheap alarm clock on her bedside, squinting at its bright red glow.

It was 3:46 a.m. 

She wanted nothing more than to roll over and go back to sleep, but she knew she had better things to do with her time. Icy air pricked her skin as she heaved the heavy canvas quilt off her body. As her hands abraded over her bare arms, trying to create some form of heat, Y/N shuffled over to the thermostat, involuntarily shivering when the temperature of the room, glowing blue on the small screen, met her eyes. She bumped it up five degrees, cursing the extra cost it would induce on her already unaffordable room tab. 

To successfully lead a life of hunting, financial fraudulence and deceit were a necessity. Usually, this would not have been an issue; Y/N possessed many fake cards with false names. However, quite suspiciously, she recently discovered that each of these cards, one by one, had become unusable and ceased to work. Y/N concluded, quite disgruntled, that this would have been her brothers' work. She supposed they were trying to draw her out of hiding. 

Luckily, obtaining false money was not a foreign practice for her; her brothers did not know this. The small sum she had managed to acquire would have to do for now. 

Y/N drew back the sheer drapes enough for her eyes to peer through, beside her building shone an old flickering neon sign, proclaiming the service station adjacent to her was open. Satisfied, the corner of her mouth turned up; she had wanted a coffee very much and there was no time like the present. While shrugging on her hoodie, which she had permanently borrowed from Dean, Y/N noted dejectedly that its smell of gunpowder and motor oil left her feeling homesick. Maybe she missed her brothers more than she let on. But she knew now was not the time to wallow in sadness. 

She collected her keys and walked out of the door, locking it behind her. 

The thunderstorms Mystic Falls had experienced in the previous three days had been bordering apocalyptic; Y/N, much to her vexation, had spent the entirety of the storm boarded up in her quaint motel room, wishing uselessly that she had not been rained in.

The young hunter had found herself restless. A 19-year-old girl named Amelia had gone missing in the area. Although the circumstances surrounding her disappearance were labelled as suspicious by authorities, apparently, it had not yet been long enough to presume her dead. Y/N wished her assumptions were not always so grim, but her uncanny pastime forced her to be pragmatic.

Realistically, going missing in this town meant she was most likely dead or hidden away as a blood-thirsty monster. 

Y/N could not decide what was a better fate for the poor girl. 

The Winchester thought that she at least deserved to have someone look for her, to make sure she was not still out there, even if what she expected to find was a harsh caricature of who Amelia once was. And the town authorities did not seem to think their services were necessary. 

Y/N knew what she was attempting to do was nearly impossible. Alone, she could not search the area needed to uncover a hidden corpse, and it was not exactly a chore where she could enlist the help of her friends. Nonetheless, she found herself trekking through the tenacious sludge the rain had left in its wake; her socks damp and toes stinging from the cold. She understood that she did not have all the time in the world; the impending doom the evening’s ball left looming over her shoulders had her shivering deeper than the frosty morning ether. However, she persisted anyway. 

Two and a half hours had passed when Y/N spied something out of the ordinary, and she could not believe her luck. 

The young girl cringed slightly; she knew thinking of it as "luck" was a bit distasteful. 

A rectangular concave of sodden earth could be seen under a scattering of leaves. Its shallow trenches with water congregating inside told Y/N the sunken ground had been caused by the rain, though its distinct shape still clashed with the surrounding natural terrain. A feeling of uneasiness settled in her stomach; she was almost sure of what she would find underneath. The burial probably would have been well concealed had it not been for the unbridled downpour of water.

Another half hour had passed before Y/N had completely uncovered the body from its prison of earth. Her nose wrinkled; the pungent smell of decay, now swarming the air. The young hunter had experienced no shortage of death in her lifetime, but the sight of the girl before her, lying bloated and green had Y/N staring through glassy eyes. This girl was younger than her. Her parents, no doubt, would be waiting, in anguish, for her to return home. Desperately anticipating a reunion that will never occur. Y/N quickly swallowed against a lump in her throat. Trying not to let her tears spill. 

The most wicked part of this, Y/N thought, is that they will never get any closure. Mystic Falls’ authorities, so closely entwined with the vampire-aware council, already knew she was a lost cause. That is why they were not looking for her.

She reached out with a shaking gloved hand and tried to turn her chin gently to the side, the rigour mortis had not yet subsided, making it more difficult. However, she found what she wanted. Two little puncture marks barely visible on the slimey distended skin confirmed what she already knew.

This girl was murdered by a vampire right under her nose. How were they eluding her so effortlessly?

Y/N decided she would not rebury her, but rather send a message to the negligent authorities. She was confident that they were completely infiltrated by the town council and knew her message would reach the right ears. 

She opened her backpack and got the supplies for a note; she knew she was acting both rashly and carelessly, but something needed to be done. 

With her still-gloved hands she tore a page she knew she had never touched from her notebook and began to scribble  

Dear whoever reaches her first,

I’ve decided to take responsibility for these “animal killings” myself. Given no one seems as if they are capable or care enough to do the right thing.

Y/N weighed her note down with a nearby stone a couple metres right of the burial, she then grabbed her golden lighter from her pocket and some accelerant she had in her backpack. The dampness of the area made for a difficult task, but eventually, the macabre burial was engulfed in roaring flames. Y/N tossed her shovel on top as well as her notebook and pen, knowing it would not do for any of this to be found and watched satisfied as the items crumbled to near nothing. 

After her belongings and the girl were burnt beyond recognition, she gathered some green leaves and piled them onto the blaze. She did not have much time to leave given any moment the leaves would begin to smoulder and billow up into the sky. She did not want to be anywhere near the area when the suspicious smoke was investigated. With tears still thick in her eyes she turned and hurried away.

The short drive to Caroline’s house in the early afternoon had been nerve-racking, never before had she experienced an event of this stature, and to say she was nervous would be a gross understatement. Caroline had been safekeeping her gown, neither girl thought the ornate garment should have spent its time hanging in the dingy motel Y/N currently called home. Caroline also insisted on doing the young Winchester’s makeup, declaring that Y/N’s modest gathering of supplies simply would not do.

The Winchester had spent a good hour scrubbing her body vigorously from head to toe. She had been covered in a thick layer of grime from her early morning escapade, and she had to make sure she was pristine and perfect for Caroline’s audience. 

She stalked tentatively up the front steps, and with barely enough time to lift her hand to knock, the door had already begun to swing open, a grinning Caroline on the other side, with pearly whites on full display. Her smile almost sent a shiver down Y/N’s spine. 

‘You don’t know how much I’ve been looking forward to this.’ Caroline reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling Y/N along with more force than she thought her capable of. Finally, they halted in front of a mirror and Caroline had Y/N by the shoulders impelling her into a vanity chair. 

‘So… What's the plan?’ Caroline spoke causally once Y/N stopped struggling against her and settled into the seat. 

‘Well… Caroline… I don’t know…’ She rolled her eyes at Y/N’s lacklustre response.

‘Why did I see that coming from a mile away? Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.’ Caroline spoke as though she were burdened by this fact, but Y/N knew that she would love the opportunity to use her as a real-life doll. 

Y/N decided very quickly that she did not like people doing her makeup. She sneezed when her face was dabbed with powder. Her eyes prickled and watered uncontrollably when Caroline attempted to coat her lashes in mascara and ended up having to put it on herself only to be scornfully slapped when she got it on her eyelid that Caroline had spent ten minutes blending colourful eyeshadow to perfection.

If she had a dollar for every time Caroline had scolded her, she could afford a luxurious holiday across Europe.

Nevertheless, by the time Caroline had finished with her, not only was her face veiled in a modest yet flattering coat of makeup, but her nails glistened in a deep blood-like crimson; Y/N was fortunate that they already had a decent length to them albeit needing some desperate shaping. Caroline had Y/N sit completely still with her hands placed before her on the table, she was not going to let anything like the mascara fiasco occur again. Meanwhile, Caroline had also taken the time to place Y/N’s hair in an elegant coiffure. She looked simply stunning. 

‘You've done brilliantly’ Y/N’s smile was earnest,

‘Well, I’d take all the credit, but you don’t look half bad on your own’

Y/N ducked her head, feeling betrayed by the burning in her cheeks.

‘Thank you’ She muttered.

As Y/N waited the rest of the time needed for her nails to cure, Caroline put herself together so quickly it was astonishing. And now, she too, looked drop-dead gorgeous. After checking if her polish had set and nodding when satisfied, Caroline spoke up,

‘We haven’t got ages, Damon will be here to get you soon.’ Y/N could tell Caroline was trying to play nice but she could not completely hide her resentment as she voiced his name.

‘I suppose it’s time for our dresses!’ She continued, quickly leaving the room and entering again, holding garment bags above her head.

Y/N would be lying if she said she was not excited, she had not seen her dress since Caroline had whisked it away to her house. Y/N grabbed the dress and fled for the bathroom. 

As she zipped back the bag, careful not to snag any fabric, she was once again taken by its beauty. The crimson skirt of chiffon flowed like a sea of blood, the expensive velvet bodice holding tiny details of flowers barely visible to the human eye. The gown, while contemporary, held hallmarks of an old Victorian frock; Y/N’s memory had not done it justice. A smaller bag next to the dress held her accompanying gloves and jewellery. 

She slid the gown over her body with unparalleled care and spent a good few minutes bringing the zip up to her mid-back, it was a harder task than she had anticipated and she considered asking Caroline for help, though, she could hear a hushed conversation from the room she had just left. Y/N was certain Damon had arrived and she was not about to walk out half-dressed. After fasting her necklace and pulling the gloves to reach just over her elbows, she smoothed out the ornate fabric of the skirt while taking a deep breath. 

She looked at her profile in the mirror.

The woman casting back in the reflection looked like a stranger to her. She seemed as though she came from another world; a better one. Y/N never could have guessed that this lady spent her time hunting monsters, eating cheap, greasy takeout and sleeping in dilapidated motel rooms. Never would she have fathomed this woman had spent the earlier part of her day burning the corpse of a murdered girl. 

The lady before her should belong to a lavish home with every sumptuous possession she could dream up. If only that were the case.

This time Y/N looked at her reflection critically.

This would be the first time she had seen Damon since investing the town’s archives and she had not completely convinced herself that Damon was not a vampire. On the other hand, she knew there was absolutely nothing that could be done at this moment, so she inhaled deeply in a redundant attempt to quell her nerves and exited the bathroom. 

She could swear her heartbeat would be heard for miles.

In the middle of the living room, he stood in a fitted black suit, with a rose of deep crimson attached at the collar. It matched her dress so perfectly she considered for a moment that it was not a coincidence. When she reached his eyes she spied that his jaw was left agape. Though quickly, as if attempting not to look caught by surprise he twisted his mouth into a lopsided grin. She tried not to appear smug at his obvious admiration, though she was sure her expression betrayed her. Suddenly, she was quite aware she no longer felt nervous.

‘Y/N, you look stunning.’ He spoke fervently, she felt her complacent expression rapidly shift to one of abash and when she said nothing he continued,

‘I brought you these, I thought they would suit your dress’ He held up a bouquet of the same flowers on his suit jacket and looked at Caroline, who had been lurking in the corner, knowingly. They had not been a coincidence.

‘Thank you, Damon, they’re lovely.’ 

Caroline offered to place them in a vase to keep them fresh while they spent the night out, when she left for the kitchen Damon stepped closer. He grabbed both her hands and stared intensely into Y/N’s eyes. She was sure he was trying to dazzle her, and it was working.

‘We can leave now, Caroline’s getting a lift from Elena.’ Y/N only nodded, her mouth agape, just as his had been. He began to draw her towards the front door and she barely had enough time to pull herself together and call over her shoulder,

‘See you soon Caroline. Thank you for your help!’

Damon opened the passenger door of his 1969 Chevy Camaro and gestured for her to take a seat. He ended up needing to help shove the fabric of her puffy skirt into the foot space, Y/N giggling as it continued to billow out from the door. After what seemed like ten minutes, Damon finally settled into the driver’s side and started the engine. 

As they sped down the street leading to the lavish venue of the ball she realised that in Damon’s presence she no longer worried about vampires, hunters and missing persons. She could not have foreseen the effect he had on her considering her unwelcome suspicions of him.
