Rockets 2023 Central Texas/Stonewall Launches ended today, Saturday, May 6, 2023
Rockets 2023, Central Texas Edition, ended today. The original schedule listed 15 rockets for today. Petrolia HS had two rockets that moved from the launch in North Texas last weekend to this one, and Fredericksburg HS relaunched an earlier rocket that had been unsatisfactory, so that brought totals to 18 for the day. Launching began a 11:41a.m. and ended at 5:35. The team packed up the site…

Drivers, honk your horns, and flash those high beams—it’s time to celebrate. In what has felt like an eternity, or at the very least, several eons, motorists can finally breathe a sigh of relief now that the expansion on a big chunk of Highway 401 is complete.
If you’ve traveled along the highway through Mississauga into Milton (or vice versa) in the last couple of years, then you know it hasn’t been a smooth ride. If you’ve ever been in the westbound collector lanes immediately after Hurontario St., then you are familiar with the sea of red brake lights and barely moving vehicles as the right lane would end, then the left lane would end, leaving only one lane to putter along on until it eventually merged with the "express" lanes, some of whom would have to get all the way over to the Erin Mills Pkwy./Mississauga Rd. exit.
Fun times.
Or maybe you were driving eastbound on Erin Mills Pkwy./Mississauga Rd., attempting to use the one left lane to get over to the express lanes in what became a test of patience and a test to see just how good your merging skills actually are.
But that fun is all over, and a new kind of fun begins. There are now 18 kilometers of new lanes from Mississauga to Milton, which will "help fight gridlock and keep goods and people moving across the Greater Golden Horseshoe," according to the release from the Ontario government.
One can almost see the skies clearing and hear the angels singing. The new lanes either double or nearly double the previous six-lane highway.
There are also HOV lanes in each direction, the bridges in that span have been replaced or widened, and the existing Mississauga Rd. The carpool lot is back open with 50 more spaces to park in.
“Highway 401 is the busiest and most congested highway in North America with approximately 180,000 vehicles on average per weekday from Credit River in Mississauga to Regional Road 25 in Milton,” Caroline Mulroney, Minister of Transportation, said in a statement.
“Widening Highway 401 is another step forward in our plan to build Ontario with investments in our transportation system to reduce gridlock, improve economic productivity, and get drivers home to their loved ones faster.”
The Highway 401 expansion project began in 2019 and cost $640 million. From April 2022 to March 2023, the Ontario government is committing about $3 billion to repair and expand the province’s highways and bridges.

Taiju Shiba | "Count Me In" — Fluffy
Tumblr media
∆Hope you like it
∆ Warnings: spoilers
The late afternoon sun turned the sky in orange hues, few clouds were slowly wandering; the headlights and horns of cars at peak hours moved that avenue in the center of Kanto.
The frigid early afternoon breeze whipped your body, making you huddle in your clothes to protect yourself from the chill. Leaning against the street guardrail, her eyes stared down at her shoes as she hid her hands in the pockets of her sweatshirt [her favorite color] so she could warm them up. A slight anxiety pounded in her chest, as she had a high chance he might refuse her request.
Her breath came out in a small vapor between her lips, from the rapid condensation; you started making little vapors to distract yourself until he got home from work.
Then, in the distance, you could hear a roar coming from an engine, you instinctively turned and watched the street until you saw a Yamaha brand motorcycle, model RD 350 in black and red, approaching, the famous "black widow", approaching you.
It was him. Taiju Shiba.
It wasn't hard to find him standing six feet tall, with his tattoos strewn all over his epidermis making a perfect fit with that dark blue hair. Recognizing anywhere in the world.
The bike stopped beside him, Taiju smoothed his hair that was messed up by the wind and smiled at you with that smug look he liked so much.
"You're late".
"It took me a while to get off work and found Mitsuya" he explained before getting off his bike.
You took your cold hand out of your sweatshirt pocket and pushed a lock of your hair [size and color] behind your ear. Taiju parked the bike and went to meet you, where, unashamed to show his love for you, he placed a kiss on your lips and laced his fingers with hers when he gave her his hand.
Both entered a small cafe on one of the parallel streets that crossed the main avenue of Shibuya. It was small, rustic in style, the lights were yellowish and not so strong, the caffeine smell was intense and instrumental music played in the background.
In less than two minutes, Taiju arrived at the table, he sat down in front of you and extended his hand to you, who gladly accepted.
The guy with blue hair was talking about his day with you and how his cooking course was going, with that, he was planning to open a restaurant when he graduates. And that warmed his heart, since Taiju didn't open up easily to anyone, not even his own family.
Without you noticing, a smile came out on his face and he was imagining himself beside you, besides how much he evolved after the confrontation with some members of the Tokyo Manji gang. He needed to lose to understand that nothing revolved around his navel and that he was nobody's king.
After a few minutes, a waiter placed orders on the table. A double espresso for Taiju and you a [your favorite drink], you thanked the bartender and sipped your drink while commenting on your day and your graduation course.
"So where are you spending Christmas this year?" She questioned him, because she knew about the family fight he had.
Taiju stirred the cup a little in his big and calloused hand, saw that dark and hot liquid swirling inside that porcelain container, the golden eyes of the oldest descendant of the Shiba family seemed distant.
He finished his coffee and looked seriously into her eyes.
"I will pray, like every year, at my mother's favorite church." Then he paused and spoke again: "Would you like to go with me? And then we can do something you like," he suggested.
With a smile, he accepted the invitation. It was rare for Taiju to invite someone to join him in his prayers, even though he was a fervent Christian, he liked to be alone while talking to God and asking him to take care of his family.
"How about we get some cake or pizza while we watch a movie later?" This time, you suggested.
You were talking about plans for Christmas, even though he didn't show it, I was happy to see you eagerly looking forward to spending that day with him.
However, in the midst of the ideas exposed between you, he noticed something different in Taiju's eyes, as if he were far away and something that made him lose his ground had just happened; you turned to the direction that caught Taiju's attention and then understood what was happening.
Outside the cafeteria were those Taiju would give his life to protect, Yuzuha and Hakkai, his younger brothers. You recognized them from a small photo Taiju had in his apartment's living room with them; the two younger Shiba passed by talking and didn't even notice their older brother inside that establishment.
It was noticeable that Taiju was holding himself back from talking to them, avoiding confusion again.
"It's hard to stay away from them, isn't it?"
Taiju followed with his eyes until both disappeared from the windows and from his view.
"It's better this way," he replied.
You knew Taiju feared being alone, unable to see or know how his only living relatives were doing. Mainly Hakkai being the youngest and most naive in the family, he didn't care if he was Toman, he was his little brother and he always would be.
So, he got up from his place and sat down next to Taiju, put his arm [as he is] around his shoulders and rested his head on his broad shoulder, rigid by his strong muscles.
"Don't be like that. I'll be with you for everything, count on me."
His voice conveyed trust, loyalty and empathy.
"Thank you, I tell you the same."
His voice was baritone, his big hand wrapped around hers and pressed a kiss to her forehead.
That was the way Taiju Shiba showed his love and gratitude, as he wasn't much vocal about his feelings and preferred to show them.
And you loved that about him.

Cerebrosaurian
Tumblr media
“Dinosaur Monk” © Thiago Lehmann. Accessed at his ArtStation page here
[This appears as the “brainosaurian” in Monstrosities, but I wanted to finish the faux-scientific name. The original is supposedly descended from an allosaurus, but I went with a pachycephalosaurus for a few reasons. One, hyperintelligent dinosaurs are usually depicted as theropod derived, and I wanted to be different. Two, it’s a reference to an old Foxtrot comic. Three, pachycephalosaurs in general are under-represented in dinosaur media, maybe because they’re fairly poorly known compared to other species.]
Cerebrosaurian CR 11 N Monstrous Humanoid This reptilian humanoid has the head and tail of a dinosaur, although its skull is swollen and protected with a thick dome of bone. A crown of low horns grows from the base of its skull. It clutches a staff in its hands.
A cerebrosaurian is a super-intelligent dinosaur with phenomenal mental powers. They have their origins among the pachycephalosaurs, dinosaurs known for their enlarged skulls and domed heads. The cerebrosaurians were uplifted with intelligence and the ability to control other dinosaurs, their brains swelling to fill their expanded skulls. Perhaps this was by the grant of a powerful ritual designed to protect vulnerable herbivores. Perhaps they were uplifted by fey powers, or by a nature god. Perhaps their existence is a cosmic joke.
Few cerebrosaurians fight alone, as they are typically guarded by dinosaurs brought to heel by their psychic powers. This is their strongest occult gift, but not their only one—no two cerebrosaurians have the same spells, so fights can be unpredictable. Most of them use their magic to augment their physical prowess, and then suppress opponents with powerful blows from their bony heads, clawed hands, and carried weapons.
Cerebrosaurians vary in alignment as humans do, but usually have some component of neutrality in their alignments. Good cerebrosaurians use their powers to keep carnivores away from civilization, and fight back against evil cults in their jungles or savannahs. Evil cerebrosaurians are likely to be organizing those cults and enforcing their edicts with saurian muscle. Neutral ones typically use their powers for protection and self-enrichment, directing their saurian servants to wait on them hand and foot while they pursue intellectual goals or simple hedonism. Occasionally like-minded cerebrosaurians will gather into small schools.
A cerebrosaurian stands about ten feet high and is nearly 20 feet long from nose to tail.

The dinosaur can resist with a successful DC 20 Will save; otherwise it is controlled as per dominate monster for 1 day per Hit Die of the cerebrosaurian (15 days for the average specimen). A dinosaur that succeeds this saving throw is immune to the dominate dinosaur ability of that cerebrosaurian for the next 24 hours. A cerebrosaurian can have a number of dinosaurs dominated at one time equal to its Hit Dice (15 for the average specimen). This is a mind-influencing compulsion effect, and the save DC is Charisma based. Spells A cerebrosaurian casts spells as an 8th level psychic. It does not gain access to other abilities of the psychic class, such as a phrenic pool or a discipline, unless it takes levels in psychic.

My homebrew warlock subclass for champions of Vaermina. It also includes an Artifact, the Skull of Corruption.
Art by @julankaushibael
Transcription under the cut
Vaermina
You have made a pact with Vaermina, daedric prince of nightmares, omens, and torment. Her interactions with mortals are rarely friendly, and those that do worship her often do so to avoid the torment she inflicts as much as to receive any boons. However, occasionally Vaermina will bind a mortal to her service in exchange for power. Some mortals seek out this power, whiles some are driven to make a pact by nightmares and uneasy sleep.
Expanded Spell List
Vaermina lets you choose from an expanded spell list when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.
Spell Level
Spell
1st level
Dissonant Whispers, Sleep
2nd level
Detect Thoughts, Phantasmal Force
3rd level
Catnap, Feign Death
4th level
Divination, Phantasmal Killer
5th level
Mislead, Modify Memory
 Nightly Torment
Every night, starting when you choose this patron at 1st level, Vaermina fills your dreams with terrors and omens. Every time you complete a long rest, roll on the Nightly Torment table to determine the effect of Vaermina’s dreams.
Lucid Suggestion
Starting at 1st level, any time that you cast an Enchantment spell that targets a creature who is asleep, the creature has disadvantage on any saving throws it must make as part of the spell. In addition, you can speak to the creatures subconscious mind, meaning that the creature can hear and see you for the purpose of this spell if they would be able to see and hear you if they were conscious.
If you use a spell in this way, the effect of the spell applies when the target wakes up. If the spell requires concentration, concentration must be maintained until the target wakes up in addition to the duration of the spell.
Nightmarish Presence
Starting at 6th level, you can put on a mimicry of Vaermina’s nightmarish visage. As a bonus action, you transform into a terrifying version of yourself for one minute. During this duration, you may add your Charisma modifier to any damage from attacks. When you hit a creature with an attack, they must make a wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. If they fail, they are frightened until the end of their next turn. If they succeed, or when the frightened conditioned ends, they cannot be frightened until the duration of Nightmarish Presence ends.
When you use Nightmarish Presence, you cannot be recognized as yourself. Others cannot describe what you look like while using Nightmarish Presence.
Once you use this ability, you cannot do so again until you have completed a long rest.
Fearless Defenses
Starting at 10th level, your encounters with Vaermina mean nothing else on Nirn can frighten you. You are immune to the frightened condition, and when another creature attempts to frighten you, you can use your reaction to attempt to turn the charm back on that creature. The creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC or be charmed by you until the end of its next turn. While frightened in this way, it must use its movement on its turn to move as far away from you as possible.
In addition, your lack of fear allows you to navigate Vaermina’s dreams more easily. When you roll on the Nightly Torment table, you may roll twice and choose which result to use.
Dreamstride
Starting at 14th level, you can enter Quagmire itself to travel long distances. As an action, you and up to one willing creature can physically enter the Realm of Nightmares, leaving nothing behind. Quagmire is a constantly shifting nightmare realm. It is mutable, and for every 10 minutes that pass in Quagmire, only 1 minute passes on the Material Plane. Time spent in Quagmire counts as resting; 10 minutes in Quagmire counts as a short rest and 80 minutes in Quagmire counts as a long rest. However, spending too much time in Quagmire is dangerous, and completing a long rest there may result in waking dreams, loss of bodily functions, or even death, at your DM’s discretion.
While in Quagmire, you try to navigate the shifting dreams to find a specific dreamer. Roll a survival check against 10 + the Wisdom modifier of a creature you have seen before. This check automatically fails if the creature is not asleep. If you succeed, you locate this person’s dreamscape. In the creature’s dreamscape you can cast dream on the creature without expending a spell slot and with an instantaneous casting time. Additionally, you and any creature accompanying you can travel through the Dreamscape, appearing in a space next to the sleeping creature.
At any time while in Quagmire, you and any creature accompanying you can return to the location you entered Quagmire from. You can use Dreamstride a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier; you regain these uses after completing a long rest. If you successfully locate a creature’s dreamscape, you cannot use Dreamstride again until you complete a long rest.
Nightly Torment Table

Fitful Sleep. Suffer one level of exhaustion.

9
An Omen. Roll 1d20. At any point before you complete your next long  rest, you may replace another creature’s attack roll, saving throw, or  ability check with the value of the die. You must do so before you know the outcome  of the roll.

19
A Prophecy. You may ask Vaermina a yes or no question, which she will  answer to the best of her knowledge.
20
Dreamless Sleep. Vaermina grants you a night of merciful rest.
 Skull of Corruption
The Skull of Corruption is granted by Vaermina to only her greatest champions. It is not only a powerful artifact, but a major source of Vaermina’s power as well. Vaermina uses the staff to devour dreams and memories for her to collect.
The Skull of Corruption is anathema to all but a few. Even fewer of those are deemed worthy of Vaermina to wield her artifact. The stories of those who wield the Skull usually end in tragedy, but Vaermina rarely cares for her followers as long as she harvests the dreams of their victims.
The Skull of Corruption is a four-foot long staff, topped with a horned skull. The skull appears to originate from an unknown creature, but does not appear to be made of bone.
Spellcasting Focus. The Skull of Corruption is a spellcasting focus that grants a +3 bonus to spell attack roles made with it. It also functions as a rod of absorption.
Random Properties. The Skull of Corruption has the following randomly determined properties from the Dungeon Master’s Guide.
1 Major Benefit
2 Minor Benefits
2 Minor Detriments
1 Major Detriment
Dream Harvest. As an action, you can harvest the dreams and memories from a sleeping humanoid. This causes the humanoid to be tormented by nightmares, gaining one level of exhaustion. The target may also awake feeling foggy, and multiple Dream Harvests can leave the target with increasing gaps in their memory. When a humanoid is targeted by Dream Harvest, they cannot be targeted again for 12 hours.
Using Dream Harvest gives the staff 1 point of Vaermina’s Favor. The spell energy level stored in the staff from the staff’s use as a rod of absorption can be converted to an equivalent number of points of Vaermina’s Favor as a bonus action.
Psychic Spray. You can use your action and expend a number of points of Vaermina’s Favor to project mental harm. Each creature in a 30 foot cone must make a Wisdom saving throw. A creature takes 1d4 psychic damage per spent Vaermina’s Favor on a failure, and half as much damage on a success (minimum of 1).
Corrupted Double. As an action, you can target a humanoid you can see and spend 50 points of Vaermina’s Favor. A copy of the target appears in the nearest unoccupied space to the target. The copy is identical to the target, but has a single-minded desire to attack and kill the target. The copy emits a deep miasma that visually distinguishes it from the target. The copy lasts until killed.
Destroying the Skull. The Skull of Corruption can only be destroyed by a cleric of a good-aligned god that spends a 9th-level spell slot. To destroy the skull, the cleric must concentrate for one minute on the ritual. When the ritual is begun, all creatures within 120 feet of the cleric must succeed at a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or attempt to kill the cleric until the Skull is destroyed.

Till The Final Bullet
Tumblr media
Series Summary: “In a place where they won't let us feel, In a place where nothing seems real. I will hold you. In a world that’s moving too fast. In a world where nothing can last. I will hold you.”-Last Night of The World- Miss Saigon
From the age of twelve, Y/N Y/L/N, has been trained by Hydra, and used as an assailant for a number of years. She’s been taught not to feel, but when she’s put in a kill squad with the Winter Solider, their partnership is deadly, as their motivation becomes more than just keeping themselves alive.  
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader
Series Warning: Angst, Fluff, Strong Language, Eventual Smut, Dark!Bucky (I think??) (18+ Only)
Part One// 
Part Two: Are We Bad People?
Tumblr media
Chapter Warnings: Violence, Strong Language, Rumlow gets a bit aggressive
Word Count: 3.1k
“We have reason to believe that Director Fury, has obtained a hard drive containing important information about Project Insight.” Pierce stood in front of you and James, as he began to give details about your latest mission. “Your mission is to remove Director Fury from the picture.”
“He will leave the Triskelion, at fifteen hundred hours, I want him permanently removed by sixteen hundred. Am I understood?”
“Yes, Sir.” You and James chorused; saluting, before walking to your weapons lock.
~~~
“You ready for this?” James asked you, as you secured your belt of explosives, and checked your two magnums that were strapped to your thighs.
“I’m sure we can handle it.” You say over your shoulder. You feel James pressing himself against you, and you just smirk and shake your head.
“You’re playing with fire, Sargent.”
“You would never burn me.” He responds slyly. You push him away, grabbing the keys to your armoured truck.
“Get in soldier, otherwise it won’t be me smoking your ass.” You chide sliding into the driver’s seat. James quickly joined you.
~~~~~
You sat in a layby, waiting for your signal. You were watching the people crossing the street in front of you, and the cars that zipped past every now and then. You couldn’t help but feel eyes on you, as you stared out the windscreen. You turned to the passenger seat of your truck, only to be met with the steal blue eyes of your partner.
“What are you lookin at?” you smirk, turning away from him.
“You.” He responds simply.
“Why?” you chuckle.
“Because you’re the only thing worth looking at.” You shake your head at his cheesy comment, your eyes dropping to check the time, on the truck’s dashboard.
15:05
“They should have called us in by now.” You mutter, glancing at your own watch, where it read the same time.
“Aw, what you aren’t enjoying my company?” James pouts at you.
“Not when you’re just staring at me, like some creep.” You laugh, finally turning back to him.
“You like it when I stare at you like this.” James gives you one of his looks that makes your heart flutter slightly.
You don’t have time to respond, as you soon hear the echo of a single police siren, bounce off the skyscrapers.
“Show time.” You sigh, putting the truck into gear, and bursting out of the small alley way, narrowly missing a few pedestrians.
James begins to get a little shiftier, that was always his way, when a mission was starting to get more tense, you knew now was not the time to be flirty, but to be serious. He put his face mask on, and his goggles. Despite his change in mood, he helped you to put your mask on whilst you kept your eyes focused on the road.
“Vehicle 342, this is Red Fox, what is your location?” you press the button of your coms, and the radios response is fuzzy at first, before it clears giving you a location.
You were heading towards the area.
You flicked a switch on the dashboard, which gave you access to all the channels, you now had around 20 people yelling in your car.
“We’ve immobilised the Target.”
“We are using rapid fire on his vehicles plating.”
You role your eyes, before jabbing the button aggressively; “the vehicles got armoured plating you, jackass. No bullets are going to penetrate it. You’re just wasting your ammo, use the pressure canon.”
You swerve through the road, zig zagging in and out of cars, you can still hear the other operatives, over the coms yelling incoherently to one another. Then one clear channel breaks through them all.
“Subject has fire arm, repeat subject has fir-“ the transmission is cut short, before it is continued by a second operative.
“Subject is on the move, heading towards 22nd Street.”
You glanced at your navigation screen, watching the streets passing you.
“Leave it to us. Just steer him towards the intersection.”
You turned the wheel sharply, James grasping the side of the car, you managed to swerve an oncoming truck, and pressed your foot on the gas, the peddle going to the floor, as you weaved your way through the oncoming traffic.
You can hear car horns, and screeching of tires up ahead, and you slam on the breaks, putting the truck into a spin, before it stops just short of a large stretch of road.
In the distance you can see the two HYRDA vehicles persuing the black four by four.
James dove out the car before you, grabbing his rocket launcher, and began to walk out into the middle of the road.
He calmly walked towards the speeding car, firing the disc that skimmed across the surface of the road, then attaching itself to the bottom of the car, before imploding.
The force of the explosion causes the car to flip over, and you hold your breath, as James side stepped out of the way at the last second. You watch the four-wheel drive land on its roof, and skid across the road before coming to a crumpled stop. You join James by his side and begin to advance towards the wreckage.
Your gun is poised in your hands, you hold it up to your face, and nod your head, when James looks to you, asking you silently if you were ready.
Using his metal arm, he ripped what was left of the car door clean off of the frame word. You get ready to strike, but you huff, when you see a large hole, with smouldering edges, through the tarmac of the floor.
“What the fuck?!”
~~~~~
“I thought you said you could handle this, Sargent Barnes and Major Y/L/N.” you lowered your head a little, as Pierce spat at you in disapproval.
“We’re sorry, Sir. We thought we had him, but-“
“But nothing, Major Y/L/N. You failed me!” He punctuates his sharp words with a harsh slap across your face. You can feel James tense up next to you, but try to hold your ground, taking a deep breath through your nose, and looking to James briefly, giving him a calming look. “We have intel that he’s hiding out in a property in Washington D.C.”
“Let me take this one, Secretary Pierce.” Rumlow piped up from the corner, you and James turn to look at the smug agent in the corner. He approaches The Secretary, his chest puffed out. You hear the heavy breath of air that James huffs out, but you just resort to glaring.
“No.” Pierce shot Rumlow’s suggestion down, “I want you two, to redeem yourself. Go to the apartment in D.C. scout it, and then eliminate the target. You fail again, and you’ll both be going back to reconditioning.”
You just about hide the shudder, that Pierce’s threat washes over you. You give him a sharp nod, before leaving the briefing room.
“Sargent Barnes, wait here.” You hear Pierce’s voice echo behind you. You continue to march down the hall towards the weapons room. Your steps are fuelled by rage and your own disappointment, your cheek still stung.
As you round the corner, a force knocks you into the wall, and you gasp, your back slamming against the cold stone. Your met with lifeless brown eyes, and an intense grip is on your wrists.    
“What the fuck are you doing, Rumlow?” you growl, struggling in his grip. His fingers curl tighter round your wrists, and you hiss.
“You think Barnes is so much better than me, don’t you. You think that you’re so much better than me.” Rumlow spat in your face, and you could do nothing but tug at his wrists.
“What are you talking about, asshole. Get the fuck off me.” You break free of his grip, but before you can shove him away, he pins your hands to your chest.
“What do you think would happen if I told Pierce, what was going on between you and Barnes?” your eyes flash, you are stunned briefly, but snap from your panic, and you bring your knee up to his crotch.
Rumlow groans, and doubles over.
“I don’t know what the fuck you are talking about, Rumlow.” Whilst Rumlow is bent over, you bring your elbow down on his back, and he buckles onto his knees. You send one last kick to his ribs, before you quickly walk away.
You increase your pace, when the door of the weapons room becomes visible. You dive in, slamming the door behind you. Once you are sure that the room is empty, you allow your body to shake, and your eyes to sting and steam up.
The door clicks, and you sniff hard, wiping at your eyes furiously to get rid of the tears. Spinning round to face, whoever had just entered the room.
You immediately relax, when you see James standing in front of you, a sad smile on his face.
“Hey.” You said, dryly.
“Hey.” James walks towards you, wrapping his strong arms around you, falling against his chest, you let a heavy sigh fall from your lips. “You okay, doll. You’re shaking?”
“I’m okay now.” You hum, reluctantly pulling away from his arms, to grab your sniper. As you turn away, but James catches your wrist.
“Are you sure?” you just pull your wrist free, and nod your head once, before jumping in your truck.
~~~~~~
“Which floor are we supposed to be looking at?” James and you were laying on your stomachs, shoulder to shoulder. Your snipers trained on the walls of an apartment complex.
“There’s movement on the 3rd and 5th floor, but nothing on the 4th.” You explain, looking through the scope of your gun. Your eyes are following along the darkened windows, of a particular apartment on the 4th floor.  
“What’s so interesting about that apartment?” James also uses his scope, to look through the blacked-out windows.
“There’s music playing, but there shouldn’t be anyone home.” You look down at the tablet, scrolling through the owners of the apartments. Stopping on a Steve Rogers, who owned the apartment you were looking at. You recognised the name, but couldn’t place it, either way according to the records in front of you, nobody should be home.
You snapped away from the tablet when a light blinks in the window of the apartment. It was as if it was giving you a signal.
“That’s the one.” You grab your sniper, and shuffle along the roof top, so that you could scan the apartment with the heat censor.
James followed you, and dropped to his stomach, scoping the windows of the room.
The navy blue of the walls filled the screen, before the yellow and red outlines of two men appeared on the screen, one of which was facing you, whilst the other had his back to you. The one, who had just entered the apartment, was clutching, what appeared to be a circular shield. The other stood from the chair, he appeared to be injured, and was slightly bent over.
“Target located.” You lifted the scope to your eye, your finger wrapping around the trigger, you line the cross of the scope, with the back of the target.
Without blinking you squeeze the trigger, you do it once more. The gun kicking back into your shoulder, as the shells burst through the wall of the building, you watch the monitor, as they strike the target, causing him to collapse.
“We need to move.” James stands, and looks down at you, but your eyes are trained up on the screen.
“Not yet, we need to make sure he stays down.” You didn’t want any room for error, not again. Pierce’s words still wove their way around your scalp, you needed to protect yourself, and James.
“We need to move, Y/N.” James was pulling at your shoulder, but you didn’t budge.
You were so focused on the target, you didn’t notice the other person enter the apartment, until she knelt by the target.
“Come on, Y/N. We need to go now.”
You had seen enough, grabbing your sniper and the tablet, you stood and took off running, James by your side.
As you crossed the rooftops, you noticed a figure following you bellow. Glancing down through the glass ceiling of a nearby building, you realised it was the second man from before, the one that was clutching the shield.
“Jay, we’re being followed.” James follows your eyeline, and spots the guy chasing you. He grabbed your sleeve, pulling you towards a dead ended roof.
A loud smashing sound from behind you, makes you throw a look over your shoulder; the man that had been chasing you, had broken through one of the windows, and now shared you escape route.
He swung his arm back, and launched his circular shield, towards the two of you.
“James!” you yell in alarm, the shield, flying towards the pair of you.
“Jump!” That’s all James says to you, the last image you see of him, before you throw yourself off the top of the roof; is James stopping and plucking the shield out of the air, like it was a paper aeroplane. He swings the shield back, before he also leaps from the roof.
He looks around him for a place to hide, you grab him by his collar, pulling him into an ally way, and pressing close to one another, until you see the man walk from the roof.
You didn’t realise you were still holding James close against you, until he cleared his throat, and jutted his eyebrows at you.
“Sorry.” You immediately let go, brushing the front of his uniform down, before walking towards your truck, that you had hidden in another ally way a few streets away.
~~~~~
“Were you successful this time, Major Y/L/N?” Pierce asked you coolly.
“Yes, Sir. Target has been erased.”
“Excellent, the two of you may retire for the night, I will speak with you both in the morning.”
You salute him, before you and James leave the command room, and head down towards the basement of the building, where your ‘rooms’ were.
“You okay?” James had been quiet since you got back from the mission, he hadn’t spoke a word to you. His eyes were a little glazed, and colder than they usually were.
“I’m fine.” He says bluntly, turning into his room, and closing the door.
You sigh heavily, but you know there is no point in pursuing the reason why he’s in such a miserable state, it wasn’t uncommon for him to become distant after a mission like this. Once you got to your room, you grab a towel and some cleaning products, and instead head towards the shower, deciding you need to cleanse yourself of the day.
Turning into the shower block, you were relieved to see it was empty, quickly turning the shower on, you stripped, then stepped in. Shivering, as the ice-cold water poured down your back.
You had been in there a while, so long that your body had become numb, and you could no longer feel the iciness of the water, that beat at your back. The water tingled as it hit your scars, it made your back feel fuzzy.
“Can I join you?” you jump almost slipping on the mouldy tiles of the shower floor, but a metal arm held you up.
“Jesus Christ, Jay.” You press your hand to your chest, heart hammering against it.
“Sorry.” He mumbled, steadying you. Your heart was still beating quickly, but your mind relaxed, when you saw the sorrowful look on his face.
“Don’t worry. And yeah, come join me.” You waved him in, you weren’t expecting him to jump in straight away, but he did. Standing under the cold water, whilst he was still fully dressed, in his combat gear.
“Don’t you want to get undressed, my love?” you hold his cheek, he avoids your eyes, and just stares at the floor. The water soaking his hair, making it flop in his face, you smooth it out of his eyes, cupping his chin so he looks at you.
“At least take your boots off, Jay.” Before he can answer, you are bending down to unlace his shoes, and holding them to the floor whilst he steps out of them. You pull his socks off, tossing both the items into the dryer area of the shower room.
You stand, and James’ face is still glum, you give him a sad smile, but soon you notice it’s not the cold water that is causing the trails of water down his cheeks.
“Oh James.” You try to pull him into your arms, but instead his legs buckle, he kneels on the floor, and wraps his arms around your hips, while he sobs into the skin of your stomach. You don’t say anything, as you know, now was not the time for you to speak. Instead, you just comb your fingers through his hair, and shush him quietly.
The two of you stay like that for a while, before James’ sobs turn to quiet sniffles, he stands up, and finally looks at you in the eye.
“Are we bad people?” his voice is hoarse and sounds tired. Your heart breaks at the sight of him, and throbs at his words.
“No James.” You move his hair from his eyes, and continue to hold his face, “we are not bad people.”
“But what we’ve done…what we do…what is it all for?” he searches your face, and for a while you don’t know how to answer, until your face softens, and you squeeze your hands tighter on the sides of his head.
“What we’ve done, and what we do; we do to stay alive. To keep each other alive.” You rub your thumb under his eye, in an attempt to rub his combat paint off, “I wouldn’t take any of it back, if it meant I lost you.”
The more of the black paint you washed away, the more you realised that the darkness under his eyes wasn’t from the paint. You didn’t notice how tired he looked, until you had moments like these, which seemed to be happening more and more.
“I don’t know what I’d do if I lost you, sweetheart.” He finally speaks, and you are relieved when he does.
“You’re never going to lose me, Jay. Never.” You press your lips under each of his eyes, before you pull back to look in his face. The ocean in his eyes looked less stormy and more like it was beginning to settle.
You weren’t sure how much longer you stayed under the water, but you didn’t care. The two of you stayed still, in your own little worlds, just holding each other close. Your body heats were providing all the warmth you needed.
Both of you content, in the other’s arms.  
A/N: Writing this chapter, with Stan Lee’s voice in my head say: “Bucky’s one of good ones.”

Tumblr media

...
New Years again bled into the final ten days of the break before you were back to your normal classes and the creeping feeling that another challenge was coming up before the big Lake Task.
Wk 1
Match 1 - Beaux 1 – Ravenclaw
Evangelinne as Beater led her team up against the Ravenclaw team, which under Cho’s swift dive for the unnoticed snitch ended the match in what could have been the saving goal for Beaux 1.
Match 2 – Gryffindor - Beaux 3
.
Wk 2 brought up another double match on Saturday leading to Hogsmeade on the Sunday after.
Match 1 - Slytherin - Beaux 2                    
Match 2 - Durm 1 - Durm 2
This match especially stirring up a surprising palpable in home rivalry leaving the Krums on edge with their biggest competition from home. Your support seemed especially crucial and after you were Sebastian’s first stop to curl around until he wound down from the match.
By Hogsmeade though it had calmed down entirely and they were all ready for the next set of matches in the following week.
.
Wk 3
Match 1 - Durm 3 - Beaux 4
Match 2 – Hufflepuff - Durm 4
Another easy match for you came with more and more images and footage of your skills were captured. And sure enough with the semester of images already captured a full year opening issue was dedicated to the promising talent tucked away in Hogwarts with you three leading the way after a mention that Oliver had already been offered a spot on the Kenmare Kestrals stirring up speculation that soon for the retiring members on that same team could be easily replaced with a clearly capable team easy to mold together in time to pick up between seasons if need be. Of course all that led to more articles about you and Sebastian on how it would effect your relationship if pitted against one another.
..
Matching origami owls came floating down from the rafters while you and Cedric sat in Double Potions, right in the middle of a lecture Snape sighed and asked, “And just what is this test?”
You both shrugged and stood leaving your bags with the twins as Cedric said, “It says to meet in the Astronomy tower.”
Snape chortled, “No doubt if they trap you in it we should get a clear view of the tower collapsing.”
You smirked at him in return as Cedric chuckled and joined you in strolling around the desks and to the door. Again you joined up with the other Champions, all in the same confused state and following you two and Harry to the tower where in deed you were locked inside with labeled tables coated in random vials and open bottles of liquid you all looked over left you puzzled. Completely alone you eyed each of them then glanced at each other until a ripple of notes appeared in blue flames reading simply, ‘Pick your Poison’.
Narrowing your eyes at the selection you mumbled, “It all looks like poison.”
Cedric shrugged and he said, “Maybe we’re meant to choose the fastest?”
Fleur, “What good is choosing a poison?”
Vivi wet her lips and then said, “Well, if they are all poisons-,” her hand extended over the table and she lifted one only to shriek at the following burst of flames revealing a rare breed of horned lizard that extended its jaws joined by another for each of your tables, “I can’t kill that thing!” She promptly set the vial down only to be hurled out of the room in a high pitched shriek through the opening and slamming of the hatch in the floor.
Wetting your lips you eyed the table again while Lukas asked, “We have to kill a creature to score points?”
Cedric looked to you, “Wait, Jaqi, that’s not a lizard, is it?”
Viktor, “Clearly it is!”
You shook your head, “No, it’s a reptilian shape shifter that lives off of poisonous fungus, meaning,”
Harry, “We find its food?”
You nodded again and raised an oddly neon green vial of goopy liquid, “I believe this is Pixies’ Carnage.” Cedric and Harry promptly found their matching vials they all joined you in feeding to your lizards, all of whom giddily rippled and turned into what appeared to be baby hippos the other teens quickly copied. The Hippos all hopped off the tables chasing after the colored smoke filled bubbles that the tables exploded into. Up against the walls behind you until all the bubbles were gone you watched your Hippos in their feasting while colored numbers floated above them racking up leaving you baffled for their meaning until the hatch opened and the hippos climbed back into their cages. Climbing through the hatch you found Vivi in the hall still and shared the useless challenge.
Harry, “Hungry Hungry Hippos, they really made a challenge off of Hungry Hungry Hippos?”
You shrugged again, “Maybe they’re running out of ideas.” Back to your classes you went and shared the useless challenge making even Snape roll his eyes then promptly award you both 20 points for selecting the proper poison by look alone.
..
5th test – Poison
Viktor - 17
Sebastian - 18
Lukas - 16
Fleur - 19
Charlotte - 16
Vivi - 0
Cedric - 17
Jaqi -  18
Harry – 19
Wk 4
Match 1 - Beaux 1 - Durm 2              
Evangelinne again faced up against Durmstrang once again and managed to snag away a clear victory.
Match 2 - Gryffindor – Hufflepuff
Just barely you managed to get to bed the night before after you had gotten carried away on outlining another paper due in the following day. Though even in your exhausted state your steady offence and defense was unmatched by the younger team.
..
February reared its head and with it brought on the snow and the eagerness of the students for the mini Valentines mixer after yet another Durm/Beaux match.
Match 1 – Slyth – Rav
Match 2 – Durm 1 – Beaux 2
Krums vs Fleur
.
Wk 2
Match 1 – Beaux 4 – Durm 4
Match 2 – Beaux 3 – Durm 3
With the match over in the mixture of powder blue decorations paper hearts and confetti rained down on the couples in the Great Halls that was filled with sweets and little mailboxes looking like tiny cookoo clocks for each student for Valentines. Lost to the jealousy of your getting a great supply from the visiting males as well as your usual joke ones from Slytherin Sebastian moped for a few minutes until you reminded him of his own vast supply and gave him a firm peck on the cheek calming him down enough to steal a kiss on your lips and snuggle with you possessively for the rest of the evening.
.
Halfway asleep once again you were pulled from your beds and left to sit in empty classrooms across from a pair of people. A conversation was to be had and after you had determined which was the true one and which was the one under the Polyjuice disguise. One rambling sentence stemmed into two and finally the key words from a passing utterance in their visit the day prior sparked the clue for you all leading to a matching score of five for you all that freed you back to what little sleep you could manage.
Wk 3
Match 1 – Beaux 1 – Beaux 4
Match 2 – Gryff – Durm 2
The night of the 23rd came and under a clap of thunder in the Great Hall you sat in the empty room looking over a full spread of maps for all you could remember of the lake with Cedric upstairs going over a list of his own choices. Off in your own corners you had been sent by Minerva for whatever reason you trusted to be explained later. Harry of course had been clever enough to call dibs on the library he was sharing with Lukas, the pair of whom were scouring the shelves for any help at all. Curiously in seeing Harry’s collection of Herbology books Neville neared him and set a copy of Goshawks Guide to Herbology down, “You’d be better off with this one to start out.”
Harry nodded and continued to flip through his book, “Thanks, I’ll add it to the pile.”
Neville wet his lips, “Do you know there’s a Wizard in Nepal who’s growing gravity resistant trees?”
Harry glanced up with a sigh and shook his head, “No, I did not Neville. Though, for the dragons I got to use my broom, something simple, and now I’ll have to spend an hour under water, and for the life of me I can’t remember what that damn plant is the twins keep using. Could be a Tibetan Turnip for all these useless books tell me.”
Neville narrowed his eyes and shook his head, “I don’t know about any turnips, but I do know they use gillyweed.”
Harry, “Gillyweed?”
Neville nodded, “Ya, we’ve got a whole stash of it back home. I could bring you some tomorrow. Best leave it till right before to let it air out or you might drown.” He looked around and asked, “Why are you here alone?”
Harry shrugged, “McGonagall sent us all off alone. No telling why.”
Neville, “Well first thing I’ll fetch some for you, best to gather it in sunlight, put it in a nice jar and all.”
Harry chuckled and said, “Thank you, Neville.”
Neville sat down and asked, “So, I’ve been down there, it’s a clear shot to, well, everywhere, that can’t really be it, can it? I mean, there’s Merpeople, Grindylows, Kelpies, the Giant Squid, not even mentioning those odd lobster creatures. That can’t be it.”
Harry sighed and set his forehead down on the desk, “Haven’t the foggiest.”
..
Morning rolled around and in a row of boats you joined the other champions out to the filled towers in the middle of the vast lake packed with fellow students. Open mouthed Harry scanned over the Gryffindor tower and said, “Ron and Hermione aren’t here.”
Looking over to Ravenclaw you tapped Cedric’s arm, “Cho and Draco are missing too.”
Harry, “So we have to find them?”
Cedric, ��Seems plausible.”
“Let’s just hope it’s not some underwater hide and seek game.” Wetting your lips you pulled your long sleeved emerald jersey tighter over your torso as your legs bounced in the chilly air due to your shorts over your bikini bottoms. In a shaky exhale you sat watching the smaller boat that split off yours carrying Harry off to the Gryffindor tower while Cedric reached up for the dangling ladder you would climb for the Hufflepuff tower as your own boat split off to the Slytheirn tower.
Fully confused for your place here you accepted a first year’s help up to the platform then looked around seeing even those with the greatest loathing for your blood traitor status welcomed you among their numbers while Snape stated, “It was believed to be best to have each Champion represent their own houses, and as you were first sorted to Slytherin Dumbledore accepted this trade.”
Crabbe quickly added, “Give ‘em hell.”
Goyle nodded, “Got ten Galleons on you.”
With a smirk you turned around as Barty inched closer to your side cockily teasing, “Only ten?”
Chuckling to yourself you spotted the other champions looking around until Percy standing in for sick Bartemis held his wand to his throat, “Today we are all here to witness the Second Task. Now as you have all surely ascertained from your eggs from the First task something has been taken from each of the Champions and they now have one hour to go and find it.” He glanced around saying, “Champions, on your marks,”
Pulling your jersey off over your head your swimsuit stunned those looking on in comparison to the one piece suits the females from Beauxbatons had chosen in their house colors. In a halter top style the top of your two piece swimsuit in a silver shade was comprised of woven strips that covered from your neck to your ribs on the front and showed more skin on your back around the cutout designs there of leaves. Those close enough could see bumps rising on your midriff and arms until eyes followed your fingertips adjusting the waistband of your emerald colored shorts and the wand holster strap on your arm.
The skin baring suit confused the other Headmasters, who had all advised their Champions to dress in more sensible suits while the guys wore full tank tops over their shorts. Barty claimed the jersey and all objections to your suit vanished as at the canon sounding you leapt off the platform and in an elegant front flip dive. Captured in a wave of flashes lips parted seeing the dazzling silvery blue tail sprouting from your now joined legs vanishing behind your torso into the water you now felt comfort from the frigid water. The transformation mid fall gave way for a picture perfect reaction photo of awe from the Pears tucked within your family in the crowds who were anxious to see how you would have faced this challenge.
Straight under the surface where you expected a clear path ahead under the murky water though all at once you were inside a sunken ship. Peering through the small round window you saw the giant jar the ship was trapped inside. Remembering Draco’s model ship phase you guessed you were in the Captain’s Quarters and after snagging a floating flag on your left you swam through the door you opened using your wand you drew from your arm sheath. 
Room by room you glanced into each eyeing the various fish and octopi swimming around you in your search for more flags you made from a swaying bit of kelp you wove together a pouch you hung around your middle. Behind you a little wind up fish followed broadcasting your path to those above along with that of the other champions. A blasting charm freed you onto the deck where an Immobilizing charm stunned the skeleton army ready to attack you.
Glancing around you eyed the three more flags you added to the rest in your pouch before swimming up to the jar. On the other side of the glass you saw the maze of seaweed swaying and lurching from side to side in the circle of other sunken ships. Closing your eyes you zapped on the other side of the jar stunning the onlookers while your family cheered in the guest tower excited at the near impossible task of apparating underwater over the clear explosion they all had expected from you. After a glance at your watch you avoided the Grindylows that urged you to sink into the maze, inside which you were pulled into a treasure chest that opened sucking you through the chest that let you out in a clearing at the bottom of a ravine.
A deep sigh left your lips and grumbling under your breath you raced up the ravine ignoring the lobster creatures heading straight for the one place you hoped there was no enchantments. Straight off through the rocky deserted stretch ahead the Aurors who set up the course along with Albus questioned where you were headed as none of them had gone to that area for fear of the creatures there.
Faster and faster you raced until one creature crossed your path. A low reverberating bellow made the hearts of those looking on flinch until your arm outstretched and looped around the neck of the Hippocampus heading the herd in a racing path through their lands ending at the borders of the Mermaid Colony.
The familiar city grew in front of you and in an easy release you avoided the path of a Kelpie on its path to Lukas’ path and continued on seeing the Mermaids around the borders eyeing you carefully. In your approach you held your speed until a courtyard on the edge of the lands where you harvest your pearls held the bodies of nine people. Swimming a bit closer you mumbled to yourself, “Ok, Gabrielle, clearly for Fleur, those four, no clue who they are. Cleo, clearly not mine. Leaving, Ron, Hermione, Cho and Draco.”
A shriek in the distance had you inch closer saying, “If Cleo is for Seb then Hermi is for Viktor. Ron would be Harry’s and Cho is clearly Cedric’s.” A flick of your wand severed the rope holding Draco’s ankle and you swam closer giggling, “I could really ruin Ced’s day and steal Cho away.” Looping Draco’s arms around your neck you stretched his sleeves out you magically bonded then began the frantic swim up to the surface missing Sebastian’s entrance to the courtyard and glance up to you. In a quick motion in his Sea Serpent form he bit the rope and gently held his sister between his jaws for the swim up after you.
Harry entered next stumped between Hermione and Ron while Lukas’ and Charlotte’s people were sucked into chests under their feet that floated up to the surface joining Vivi’s. Cedric using a bubble charm after his own batch of gillyweed had worn off in the maze freed Cho and tapped his watch to urge Harry on. A near miss on his left had Harry avoiding Viktor in his partial shark form biting the rope under Hermione’s ankle to carry her up. Wetting his lips Harry refused to leave Gabrielle alone and after noticing he had already crossed over the hour mark he grabbed both her and Ron and made his way up to the surface.
From the moment your head broke the surface your body morphed back shifting your shorts from a skirt back to shorts over your bikini bottoms and in Draco’s stunned coughs you mentally formed a set of ice stairs up to the platform for the Champions stirring up another wave of photos. At your side he shivered in the cold in his wet clothes until the hot jet of air your wand let out dried and warmed him for the trot up as you dried and warmed yourself.
Up the steps behind you as you accepted the blanket from Minerva on the platform you watched Cleo clamber up the steps while Sebastian shifted back and crawled up after her, both of whom thanked you for drying and warming them and gladly snuggled with you after Sebastian had extended your blanket. Already on the platform were the Beauxbaton girls and Lukas, all warming up themselves after having been drug up to the surface by various creatures set in their paths.
“Miss Black, leading the others using a mermaid form, and a superb use of apparition underwater clearly came in the lead.
Sebastian clearly in second with his Sea Serpent form.
Where Harry Potter would have made third, he outlasted the hour for his concern that all the hostages were safely released. We have agreed to grant him an extra seven points for outstanding moral fiber.”
Ron chortled as Harry scoffed to himself, “Moral fiber, eh?”
Ron, “Blimey, even when it goes wrong it turns out right.”
“Cedric Diggory comes in third for his innate command of the bubble head charm.
Behind him came Viktor Krum, who took a partial shark form yet overstayed the time.”
Your score was leading the pack, a full 20 for all ten flags and ten for beating the hour and rescuing your person. Sebastian was behind you with a matching 20. Cedric was behind him at 19 contently dry on your empty side with Cho huddled with him under his blanket still slightly startled at waking up in the lake. Viktor broke the surface and helped Hermione up your steps to the blankets accepting his solid 10 at breaking the hour mark. 
Harry was left and peering down under the surface you spotted the Grindylows swarming until Harry shot up out of the water and landed hard after having sent Ron and Gabrielle up ahead of him in the swarm. Accepting his 10 he coughed and sputtered as you all warmed and dried him after Fleur had hugged and peppered his cheeks with a pair of kisses in gratitude for his rescuing her sister.
For those drug to the surface Fleur had the lead with 7, Vivi was next with 6, Charlotte after her with 5 and Lukas in the rear with 4 after his creature had stolen him in his reach for another. Alongside the team of judges, including Percy all agreed on the scores after having tallied your flags and shared them with all looking on before you all hurried back to your own boats to head back for the promised cocoa waiting for you back in the Great Hall.
A figure strolling against the crowd brought Bartemis Sr into your path. Straight to your side looking on at Harry he stopped in front of you drawing the eye of a group of Professors who quickened their paces.
Bartemis, “A fine achievement.”
At his direct eye contact to Harry he answered, “Thank you.”
Bartemis, “Well done, boy.”
Continuing on Bathilda said, “See you at the castle, Harry.”
Harry nodded at her with a grin, Bartemis said, “I'm sorry we haven't spoken. After all, your story is one I've heard so many times. Quite remarkable, really. Tragic, of course...to lose one's family. Never whole again, are we?” By now the Professors were off to the side confused as to why he was saying this, especially without saying anything to you. “Still, life goes on...and here we stand. I'm sure your parents would be very proud of you today, Potter.”
Alastor moved closer patting your shoulder with his hand, “Bartemis! Not trying to lure Potter into one of the Ministry's summer internships, are we? The last boy who went into the Department of Mysteries never came out!”
Bartemis’ face dropped as Harry shook his head saying, “I don’t want an internship.”
His eyes then turned to you and then back to Alastor as you nudged Harry forward saying, “We thought you were sick, glad to see you could make it.”
Alastor patted his shoulder and joined Barty in escorting you back to the castle while Bartemis continued on to speak with Dumbledore.
To the scoreboard along the wall you read the final scores so far,
Viktor – 80, Sebastian – 97, Lukas – 69
Fleur – 77, Charlotte – 70, Vivi – 54
Cedric – 94, Jaqi – 107, Harry – 67
Clearly in the lead you only held by a mere 10 points over Sebastian, who only held his lead over Cedric by a measly three points for the top three. The others aimed to do better in the smaller challenges, of which supposedly would grow more complicated and allow more room for growth in points for those lagging behind meaning the visiting students were upping their study lessons in hopes that they could be ready for anything.
A stolen few moments with your families came to an end as the cocoa ran out sending them all to Hogsmeade or home again freeing you to all change and go to your common rooms for your houses conversations on how you had done compared to others while you snacked some more. Until you inevitably fell asleep on the couch with Cedric drooping over onto your side in his own nap captured for the next weeks paper.
**
“Mr. Crouch? You are certain it is him?” Fudge asked.
Dumbledore, “A man has died here, Fudge. And he won't be the last. You must take action.”
Fudge, “I will not. In times like these, the wizard world looks to its leaders for strength, Dumbledore!”
Dumbledore, “Then for once show them some!”
Fudge, “The Triwizard Tournament will not be canceled. I will not be seen as a coward!”
Dumbledore, “A true leader does what is right, no matter what others think.”
Fudge, “What did you say to me?”
**
Closed up in your dorms in the early morning you all shared hushed conversations until the news was finally broken to you that Bartemis Sr was found dead in Hogsmeade. Clearly Dumbledore had no need to question Barty as when it had happened he was with you, Snape, Alastor and Minerva discussing what the next challenge might bring well into the night with lists on all the ‘hints’ they had picked up from Aurors along the way.
.
Unable to sleep Harry found his way up to the Headmaster’s office knowing full well even you were troubled by the death so close to school grounds. A knock went unanswered and through the office he strolled finding it dim with only the light of a glowing mirrored stand of a liquid with a silvery mist inside it.
At the door closing behind him Harry flinched and turned to see Dumbledore now in his office, “Curiosity is not a sin, Harry. But you should exercise caution. It's a Pensieve. Very useful if, like me, you find your mind a wee bit stretched. It allows me to see once more things I've already seen. You see, Harry, I have searched and searched for something... some small detail...something I might have overlooked...something that would explain why these terrible things have happened. Every time I get close to an answer, it slips away. It's maddening.”
Harry, “About Voldemort sir?”
Dumbledore, “Yes, why do you ask?”
Harry, “It's just that I...I had a dream about him. It was in the summer, before school. In the dream, I was in a house. And Voldemort was there, only he wasn 't quite human. And Wormtail was there too. And someone else i don't know.”
Dumbledore, “Have there been others like this dream?”
Harry, “Yes. Always the same one.” After a pause he asked, “Sir, these dreams...what I see, you don't think it's actually happening, do you?”
Dumbledore, “I think it's unwise for you to linger over these dreams, Harry. I think it's best if you simply...cast them away.” Without the answer he had hoped for Harry returned to his dorm with more questions than answers, especially about Dumbledore dismissing his concern about his dreams.
*
“It’s a sign Severus!” Around the corner you strolled on your rounds in the lower floors only to pause finding Karkaroff and Snape in his storeroom with Karkaroff revealing his Dark Mark tattoo he promptly covered when he saw you.
Snape pushed Karkaroff away from his path through the door to ask you, “It appears I am missing lace wing flies and boomslang skin.”
Your eyes narrowed and you shook your head puzzling Igor, “Couldn’t be the trio they swore it off after what happened last time. And I can’t imagine who it would be, maybe one of the Aurors?”
Snape nodded, “I will have a word with them to keep their hands out of my store room.” His eyes however followed your glance to Karkaroff who was now smirking at you.
Thickly he said, “So interesting to see you so under her heel Severus. With a past like yours to kneel for a child.”
Before Karkaroff could answer you replied in Parseltongue, “As if a coward like you could ever fathom the truth.” By the third word he was gripping his forearm and groaning in pain at his burning mark. When you had stopped talking his eyes raised to you widely with his mouth agape as you said plainly at him in his hunched position, “I would advise caution in showing off that mark of yours while we’ve got an unexplained murder so near to the school, unless you find yourself so eager to return to Azkaban. Trust me when I say Fudge could care less as long as the fear has a name to blot out and forget.”
Smirking to himself Snape watched as you returned to your rounds then looked to Igor and pulled him up and pushed him out of his store room he locked behind him, “You really are an idiot Igor.”
Behind him Igor followed, “And just how did she learn to do that?!”
Snape turned grabbing Igor by the collar to slam him against the wall inside his classroom he locked behind them, “That child, as you affectionately named her, knows where the Dark Lord is.” Igor’s mouth fell open, “And is facilitating his return to power. Now either you can fall in line and show her the respect she deserves or trust me when I say she will not be kind in speaking up in your favor when the unloyal are questioned for after his fall.”

Ozark Foothills 50k Race Recap
Tumblr media
Oh man… so I don’t even know where to start. I guess at the beginning. This was my first race back since I broke my foot, 1 year to the day actually. I still can’t believe it worked out that way. I was looking at races that were easy to travel to, and that were loop courses. I wanted a looped course in case my foot said “nope” and I needed to hop off course easily. I signed up for this race only 5 weeks out! I had had a year of major ups and downs, with multiple attempts at upping mileage with no avail. Every time I tried to increase or even add in a little speed work or hill training, my foot would blow up. When I say blow up, the pain would be bad enough to cause me to limp. It wasn’t until really February where I was not having much pain anymore. I hit, on average, in the 60-70 mile range for Jan and Feb, with 116 miles total in March. I also had only 2 speed work sessions (they were easier ones). So I signed up with the goal of only using this as a training run, to make sure my foot could handle the distance. If it did, I was going to pick a longer race next and really train for it! I was extremely nervous because having your foot snap during a race is very scary and the pain is something you never forget. I have had to work hard on my mind this past year because the fear was really taking over. The mind is so powerful. Working hard on mental training has been a huge help for me. That is one of my weaknesses.
The day before the race was crazy!!! I thought I really had everything lined up, but so many things happened which led to getting off late. It worked out though! This was an Altra sponsored race so I was also going to the packet pickup to help out my local Altra rep Erica, and I was covering the race for Road Runner Sports on their Instagram account. Doing both of these things was incredibly fun for me! I love new experiences! Plus, it got me out of my head!!! They had a screening of The Double, and the speaker was Jeff Browning (aka @GoBroncoBilly). It was chalk full of awesome information. One of the main things I took away from his talk was to slay the negative thoughts of the mind. I know this, but to hear someone so accomplished say that they have to do this all the time, really brought it home to me. The mind is so powerful. Once that was over we headed to the hotel.

We got to the hotel around 8:45ish and headed to the room. So far everything had been rather uneventful. Then the room keys wouldn’t work and we got locked out! Phones were in the room (key worked at first and then just wouldn’t, no idea). Anyway, we finally got everything in and ate dinner around 9:30. While I was eating, I realized, oh my goodness, I forgot to get my race packet!!! LOL!!! I mean who does that!?!? Goes to the race packet pickup and forgets to pickup their race packet!?!? Me apparently. Thank goodness they had race day pickup! Then we realized we forgot the bottom to the electric kettle for coffee in the am. Oh well. The front desk was able to provide it. After all that, I finally headed to sleep close to midnight. And sleep I didn’t.
Up at 3:45 exhausted! However, I did not have a headache or migraine which was HUGE!!! I cannot remember a race where I didn’t have one of those the night before or the day of. (When I ran my 50 miler, I had a migraine from the night before and it didn’t abate for 7 hrs of the race!) Not having a headache gave me such a boost!!! We got there at around 6:15 and it was foggy and dark. I had thought for a moment that it wasn’t going to lift, making a note to bring my headlamp next time just in case. It did finally lift and turned into a gorgeous sunrise!
Tumblr media
I was super nervous, freezing (yes me the cold weather runner was freezing lol!), and very thankful once she blew the horn to start. I kept reminding myself that this is a training run, no pressure! I started out very conservative. I was really watching my footing (I did the whole race) and just trying to ease into a steady easy pace. It did take me awhile to warm up, but once I got going I felt pretty good! I would say after the 5th mile I felt like I was getting in a groove, getting more comfortable with the terrain, but I could feel my lack of training then too. Just the amount of vert and all the rocks and roots that I am not used to. My quads and ankles let me know that really quick, but I told my mind to shut it, slayed those negative thoughts, and told myself to just enjoy this! (There was 3,800 ft of ascent so lots of hills) I started to look around at the beauty of where I was and just got really emotional. Here I was running, in a gorgeous area, on trails, in an ultra, healthy. What a blessing!!! That gave me a boost and I started to pick up the pace. I think this was around mile 10-12. I started to pass people, but I had no idea what race they were running. You are on the course with 25k, 50k, and 50 mile runners.
Coming through the half, I felt really good! I really was ultra conservative with my footing and therefore hadn’t fallen yet. My upper body felt really good, and I know a big part of this was because of my new race vest fitting seamlessly. Super important to find one that works for your body! I filled up my water bladder with Ultima Replenisher, and headed out! But then had to run back cuz I forgot my MUIR gels!!! LOL! Made a bathroom pitstop and finally headed out. I had no stomach issues with that combination, it worked well!
Tumblr media
The hardest mile for me was 17. My hands started to swell like crazy! I was using salt, so I didn’t know why I was swelling so bad. Still unsure of the cause. They were so swollen that I actually thought I was going to have to cut off my ring. I was feeling a bit more tired, and just kind of worried. I started opening and closing my hands and telling myself it was going to be fine. Then, about a mile or two later, it started to go down a bit and relief washed over me. I began to think about all my friends that can’t run right now and began running miles for them, praying for them and for this race. I started to pick up the pace. Once I started running, I began to catch up to people. It was so spread out at this point that passing was pretty easy. I hit a string of two people and wanted to pass them but I kept thinking, no they are keeping you conservative, you don’t want to blow up you’ve come so far. I was kind of panicking. I felt so good I thought it was a fluke. So I stayed for too long. Finally I told myself what are you doing!?!? Get going! So I asked to pass and took off. I kept passing people. I had someone tell me hey you’re going really fast!!! Are you sure you're feeling ok? (It was getting really hot at this point, 70’s) I said yes I feel great! They cheered me on! Each aid station had amazing volunteers and I cannot tell you how much their cheers help! I continued to try and catch people. I started having water poured into my mouth (I didn’t have a cup) and ice in my fandana to help with the heat. Plain water was tasting so good at that point. I also began grabbing orange slices.
I hit the last aid station feeling great! So much so that I neglected to check my water bladder. It was empty. You might not think that is a big deal, but it really is. In that heat with miles to go, you need it. I let myself have an “uh oh” moment and then moved on. Those last few miles were tough. I felt pretty dehydrated and very nauseous, but I kept pushing. I fell twice because I got a bit sloppy at watching my footing, and then rolled my ankle pretty bad. I noticed that not one person was around me still. I ran alone for a lot of the race. After limping a bit I pressed on and started running, only to hear footsteps behind me coming fast, I moved over and it was Jeff Browning. LOL! He was cruising, but made sure to take the time to tell me to keep pushing! So I did! I ran all the way into the finish! I had no idea if I was even in the top 10, so when I crossed the line and Shalini the RD told me I was 3rd female I was in complete shock!!! It was like a dream.
Tumblr media
From one year ago breaking my foot, to now taking 3rd was crazy. It was a huge confidence boost to know that my foot could handle the distance and that I was able to have a podium finish with as little training as I did. I felt so blessed and humbled. A new memory to replace the old. A realization that I can do this! A thankful heart to have been able to run this race and finish. A grateful heart for all of the support and new friends that I made at this event. Thankful to the Lord for the gift of running.
Now that I know I can handle distance again, I am going to find my next race and really train for it. I am so excited and hopeful for the future. I cannot wait to see what happens!!!
Huge thank you to all the volunteers, the RD Shalini, my mother, and all of you who commented and supported me through this journey. Big thank you also to Road Runner Sports, Altra Running, Jaybird Sport, OS1st, Yukon Charlies, and Momentum Jewelry for your awesome support and gear to get me through!

Zoanoid, Zoalord
Tumblr media
“Purgstall on Hold WIP” © Arif Pribaldi, accessed at his ArtStation here
[Commissioned by @coldbloodassassin. A little retconning is in order here. Originally when I made the first batch of zoanoids, I made them the tools of the zern. My rationale was to give the zern something to do, and because they’re not the usual suspects of fleshwarping, like drow or demon cults. Now I’ve been commissioned for a whole huge batch of zoanoids, with representatives up to CR 20. So I’m putting them back into the hands of the zoalords, with the zern as their former masters.]
Zoalord CR 20 LE Aberration This powerful humanoid stands about twice as tall as an ordinary human. A crown of horns grows from its head, and several gems are embedded in its flesh. Its hands are clawed, but it has a nearly human face with a dangerous, appraising intelligence. It is clad in a suit of magnificent armor, which moves like a second skin.
When the zern created the zoanoids, they developed a control mechanism known as a “zoacrystal”, designed to allow the zern to mentally dominate their zoanoid subjects with ease. They implanted these zoacrystals into zoanoid lieutenants, the intention being to create a chain of command. These empowered zoanoids, calling themselves zoalords, revolted against their zern masters. Now, the zoalords steer the destiny of the zoanoids, seeking no less than the subjugation of entire planets.
No two zoalords are alike, as each has a specialized suite of psychic magic, and is attuned to a different type of elemental energy. All stand between ten and twelve feet tall, have bodies that look like humanoids encased in resplendent armor, and each carries their zoacrystal embedded somewhere in their flesh. All of them are usually found with a retinue of zoanoids of a variety of types to serve and protect them. Zoalords tend to cooperate in order to consolidate power and conspire against other races, but these alliances can be fractious, and especially strong personalities may dominate such councils or run renegade.
Zoalords often live double lives, disguised as a mortal in order to keep tabs on the state of the world and to accrue temporal power and wealth. This wealth is often channeled into the creation of other zoanoids. A favorite tactic is to override a humanoid’s mind with their psychic abilities, convert them into a zoanid while insensate but alive, then restore the zoanoid’s faculties in order to more properly control them. Such zoanoid sleeper agents may not even know of their new monstrous form until they are triggered by a zoalord to revert and wreak havoc.

All attacks it makes of this energy type in a single round count as a single attack for the purposes of energy resistance. This zoalord has affinity for electricity.

Profane Armor (Ex) A zoalord gains a profane bonus to Armor Class equal to ½ its HD (round down). Resilient (Su) A zoalord gains a +5 resistance bonus to saves. Spells A zoalord casts spells as a 20th level psychic. It does not gain other class abilities of a psychic, such as a phrenic pool. Zoanoid Saves (Ex) A zoalord treats Fortitude as its good save and Will as a poor save.

Last Minute Shopping
Happy holidays everyone! For those of you who celebrate Christmas, hope you all have a good holiday. But here’s a fic about last minute shopping, cause I kind of did this lol.
Jesse was fucked. He messed up big time. He should have done this several weeks ago, shit he should have done this two months ago! Yet he didn’t. He waited till last minute and now here he was, running through a crowded fucking mall, holding his hat on his head, with you at his side.
The mall was packed. It was December 23rd, and all the last-minute shoppers were here, along with the people who enjoyed being in the middle of this mess. Jesse was supposed to buy Gabriel a bottle of cologne. Everyone knew it was the Commander’s favorite, and everyone loved how it smelled. Shit, he’s caught you and Genji smelling his sweaters once. It was awkward and the man has yet to let you and the cyborg live it down.
“Jesse, you’re an idiot,” you hissed. You grabbed his arm when he went through a crowd of people, you would get left behind and he would panic even more. Not to mention you almost smacked someone when they pushed you aside to get into a store. Jesse grabbed you and pulled you away.
“I know darlin, I know,” he huffed. You could see he was getting stressed out.
Still clinging to his arm, Jesse led you both into a store that sold the cologne. There were so many people at the counter, but finally a nice lady helped you both. When Jesse asked for the cologne, she gave him a sad look and explained they sold out.
“Can you double check?” he asked. The woman gave him a look but accepted. She came back and restated they had run out, she gave Jesse a sympathetic look. But you could tell she wanted you both to buy something else or move on. The line of people behind you both was no doubt stressing her out.
“We could get him something else Jesse,” you said. You touched his shoulder and he turned towards you immediately.
“You know what other cologne he likes, right?” he asked.
“Yes. I’ve gone shopping with him a few times. I don’t remember the names of them, but I can probably recognize the smell,” you said.
Jesse turned back to the woman. “Bring me every cologne that’s like the one I asked for,” he said.
You smelled cologne, then coffee grounds, then cologne, coffee grounds then repeat for what felt like ever. You managed to find two you were sure Gabe mentioned liking. Both were heavy scents, a bit musky, only one of them though had a slight spice to them. Jesse agreed they were wonderful smelling, and even looked like he was considering buying himself some.
“We’re here for Gabe,” you scolded. You were smelling some coffee grounds and trying to get the cologne smell out of your nose.
“I can buy something for myself,” he scoffed.
“True. But you might get something like this for Christmas,” you said. He gave you a surprised look but relented.
“Fine. Which do you think he would like?” he asked.
“This one,” you said. You pointed at a bottle that was simple but had an animal skull on the front of the bottle. This was the cologne that had a slight spicy scent to it.
“You sure?” he asked.
“You asked for my opinion Jesse, so get this one,” you said. You crossed your arms and gave him a look. He couldn’t help but smirk at the way you were standing, you picked that stance up from Gabe.
“Alright. You stand like him you know,” he said. You looked down and gave him a shrug.
“I’m around him a lot. He’s like a father to me,” you said.
Jesse nodded. He then told the lady which he was buying. Once it was paid for, and the cologne was in a bag, you both were ready to leave the mall. It was even more crowded than earlier, so you clung to Jesse’s arm. He didn’t mind, it felt nice having you holding his arm.
“I hope you learned your lesson cowboy,” you grumbled.
“I did. He was the last person I needed to buy a gift for. I got everyone else their gifts earlier this month. Course, I was with Gabe when I got. That’s why I couldn’t buy him his gift.”
“You could have. You’re just lazy,” you scoffed.
“Yeah, true.”
You both headed back to the base. It took forever to get out of the parking lot, Jesse ended up cursing and honking his horn at several people. But you finally made it back. You said your goodbyes to Jesse and was getting ready to head back to your room. You still had to finish wrapping gifts. You stopped when Jesse grabbed your hand.
“Jesse?” you asked turning back to him.
“One more favor. Can you help me wrap this?” he asked.
“Sure. Come on.”
Jesse ended up needing you to help him wrap all the other gifts he bought, you couldn’t say no to him. He used that damn puppy dog face. He ended up using too much tape, but he was so proud of himself. He grinned as he looked the gifts he wrapped. They weren’t prefect, not even close, but that’s not what was important.
“Very nice Jesse. Now, next time you do this last-minute shopping shit, I’m not going with you to the mall. Especially during the damn holiday season,” you said. You were grinning, but you were serious.
“I won’t darling. But, next time I buy something for Gabe, could you come with me? You know him so well and I don’t know what to buy him.”
“Sure Jesse,” you said. You took his hand and gave him a smile. He smiled back at you and squeezed your hand tightly.

Seed List 2021
I want them NOW.
The seed catalogues, the “garden porn”, has begun to arrive.  I always have to complete my review of the prior year before I can begin to think about what I want to plant this year.  I get interested in different cultivars from season to season; I swear off some, fixate on others, swear off some and then buy lots of seeds anyway because they are inexpensive or just include really pretty pictures, discover some new hybrids that I just have to try, succeed gloriously and re-order the same.   But first, there is the momentous decision of whether to order seeds or just order the plants, or hedge my bets and order both, or risk it and order neither in hopes of picking it up locally.   And then there are the plants other than vegetables.  Since I am now a member of the pollinator pathway and a 3rd year bee-keeper, there are native, blooming plants to be considered, and some non-native, invasive plants that have to be dug out and replaced with something.  I also have an orchard, and although I’m full up on fruit trees and berries, there is a lot of space in the fenced, groundhog-proofed orchard that needs companion planting or temporary cultivation.  We completed our great hugel – more space for planting native species and anything the deer don’t eat (asparagus, artichokes..).  And the lavender patch is thriving, not just with lavender but wildflowers, some of which are perennial and need to be relocated.  Now we are contemplating not one, but two rain gardens, one in the front yard and one in the back yard.
The following seed list is comprised of just the edibles I am ordering. For full disclosure, I’ve added the list of seeds I still have in inventory from the past few years. Not all of those seeds will be viable but I’m going to be germinating them because I have extra space.  The perennials, herbs, flowers, shrubs, trees, natives, exotics, hardscaping, bee-keeping and chicken-keeping are all detailed in my garden review.  Not here.  
Beans were a bust, so my fixation has not been fixed! And, as usual when I am thwarted by the elements, I double-down.   I’m totally over the squash and gourd bonanza, except that I saved seeds from all the squash I successfully grew, so now I am stuck with the dilemma of either giving the seeds away or planting them. I’m disappointed in the potato crop but the Japanese Yams were soooo delicious I’m going to try those again, and a couple other varieties that are just click-bait.  Super aggravated that none of the brassica flourished – doubling down.  And tired of waiting for fruiting, so I invested in some quirky, fast-maturing varieties and paid particular attention to standard varieties advertised for abundance and temperature range tolerance.  
I was surprised and worried to note, however, that some variety of seeds have already sold out, in January!  So, I panicked and ordered somewhat hurriedly, from multiple seed companies, some staples, repeats and favorites.  And then, in a more leisurely but not more methodical fashion, ordered everything else.  
Legumes:
Peas –  The pea crop was lousy last year!  And I used all my saved seeds trying for a fall crop, that failed. So, back to the drawing board.  Going by the descriptions, I ordered “Easy Peasy” from Burpee (11 peas per pod/2 pods per node -200 seeds) and “Maestro” (9 peas per pod, multiple pickings – 150 seeds).  I think I’ve ordered both of these in the past and was satisfied.  I also ordered “Alaska Early” (Extra early, 6 peas per pod, multiple pickings – 300 seeds) from Terratorial Seeds and “Knight Pea” (Extra early, 10 peas per pod – 150 seeds) from Pinetree.
Snap Peas: For my first ever attempt at sugar snap peas (no shelling required – but not as thin as snow peas), I ordered “Sugar Magnolia” snap peas from Pinetree Seeds, which have violet pods, and “Sugar Lace II”, the semi-leafless and prolific snap pea.  
Runner beans: Last year I ordered Territorial Seeds “Scarlet Emperor” with red blossoms, and Pinetree Seeds “Painted Lady” with red and white blossoms, “Sunset” with pale pink blossoms. And Park Seeds “Stardust”, with white blossoms. I have some of each left in inventory, so this year I am ordering “Black Coat” an ancient heirloom from Pinetree which is a red-blossomed, black bean.  
Bush beans: Park Seeds “Velour” which is a proven winner, in sold out already.  A compact, bush-habit plant, very heavy-bearing bright purple, stringless pods over a long season. I ordered it this time from Territorial Seed “Velour”.
Pole beans-I  want to try the Territoral Seeds “Rattlesnake” beans again since the groundhog and the drought got all the ones I planted last year. Pinetree Seeds “Winged Bean” yielded just two pods so I saved the seeds to try again, but also ordered a fresh pack. I still have a lot of “Violetto” purple pole beans left.  They do well climbing cornstalks or sunflowers.
Noodle beans – Never even made it into the ground, so I still have Pinetree Seeds “Red Noodle” and “Mosaic” left over. However, at this point germination is not going to be great.
Soybeans-  They are already sold out of Park Seeds “Midori Giant”. So I have ordered their organic “Chiba Green Organic” instead.
Fava beans- Pinetree Seeds “Varoma” was hearty and tasted superb.  I made the happy discovery that the stems and blossoms taste as good as the beans.  So this is absolutely a spring and fall crop I need to plant a lot more of. I doubled my order.  I may also order the bulk, cover crop variety to sew in the fall.
 Fruits:
Corn – The “Kandy Korn” from Burpee was delicious, or so say the squirrels!  It was a perfect appetizer to all the squash they demolished in the fall.  This year I need to regroup on corn.  I’m not going to have the space for it for much longer, so seems a shame to give up. I ordered “Blue Jade” a dwarf heirloom sweet corn from Hudson Valley Seeds, to plant in planters on the patio.  And I ordered “Dakota Black” popcorn from Territorial Seed to use for the 3 Sisters planting in the orchard.  I have grown Dakota Black previously.  
Cucumber- Cucumbers didn’t get enough heat last summer.  So this time I went with a quick growing slicer variety from Totally Tomatoes called “Green Light”. And a prolific pickling variety “Pick-a-bushel” from Burpee.  I have some “Bushy” and “Pickle Bush” (both bush, pickle cucumbers) left, as well as “Marketer” and “Market-More” thin skinned, slicing varieties left over.  But I was not impressed with any of these varieties.  And then there is “Barese” (from Totally Tomatoes): an “Italian heirloom novelty” that can be eaten young as a traditional cucumber, or allowed to mature into a melon..?
Eggplant – I did so well in the orchard I decided to go with Park Seeds “Black Beauty” large standard, and “Mixed Fingerling” purple, white and green (again).  Dan has really perfected his eggplant caponata recipe, and we grill eggplant and stir-fry it, or roast it for babaganoush often enough that we will eat all I can grow. I also have “Hari” (long green of India, but the seeds are several years old), and “Millionaire” (the classic long, purple of Japan, but also several years old) in inventory.
Gourds- I’m done with gourds.  We won’t talk about the stack of bushel, bottle, dipper, swan-neck gourds that are rotting on my front porch.  No, I said we’re not going to talk about it. The only gourd I want to try again is the Luffa gourd because I still have not grown a single luffa.
Melon- I bought Burpee “Mango Melon” seeds again, for the description of its taste alone because the seeds from last year did germinate but did not produce any fruit.  And I also bought “Jenny Lind” heirloom, green melon, and “Sakatas Sweet” a super sweet green with very thin rind, from Pinetree (which is located in Maine, so most of their seed offerings grow well in the Northeast).
Okra – like fava beans, I discovered that the entire okra plant is edible.  Leaves can be cooked like collards, and the flowers can be battered and fried like zucchini blossoms.  I saved seeds from Pinetree Seeds, giant “Cow Horn” and “Red Burgungy”.   I ordered Park Seeds “Rainbow Fiesta” ivory, green and pink okra again because it did not fruit.  The “Unicorn” which, although it is eaten like okra, is actually “devil’s claw”, a member of the sesame family and a medicinal herb, also did not germinate.  So I bought it again!  And then I saw that Territorial Seed had “Simpson”, which is more cold-hardy, and Burpee has “Baby Buda” which is a small, early maturing and cold tolerant variety of okra; so, I ordered those as well.
Pepper – I am trying an interesting experiment of over-wintering my pepper plants that did not fruit their first season.  Unfortunately, when I dug them up, I did not label them so, I don’t know if they are hot or sweet. I suspect they are mostly hot.  I ordered “Yellow Calwonder” from Totally Tomatoes, a fast growing sweet yellow bell, and “Chablis”, also a fast growing sweet bell that grows from white to orange to red, and “Sheepnose Pimento”, a sweet red cherry pepper, and “Sweet Banana” a long, sweet yellow.  Then I got distracted and ordered Pinetree “Tobasco Pepper”.  In inventory I have the following hot peppers:  Dragon Tongue; Cayenne; Paper Lantern; Habanero; Lemon drop; Chiltepin (fire flea); Portuguese hot red (Portuguese dagger); Early Jalapeno; and Pastilles Bajio.  And sweet: Big Red and Corno Di Toro.  I promise not to peruse the pepper plant sections of the rest of the incoming seed catalogues.  But a member of our local plant swap has a pepper propagating propensity, so I absolutely promise that some of the peppers I am planning to propagate will be proffered in exchange for some of the pepper plants she has propagated!  
Tomatoes – Here, COVID fatigue (boredom, tired of waiting) hit me and I started to ask myself why I have to wait until August for ripe tomatoes.  Then there was the timely arrival of the seed catalogue from Totally Tomatoes.  So I got a little off the rails and ordered “Quedlinburger Fruhe Liebe” that matures in only 40 days! I also ordered “Anna Russian” a red heirloom, “Old German” a yellow striped heirloom, “Black Krim” a purple heirloom, “Independence Day” another very early tomato.  And then the Burpee catalogue arrived…They have a 2 lb seedless paste tomato called “Super Paste” and a 3 lb beefsteak called “Steakhouse”, and the bronze colored plum tomato called “Shimmer” I grew a few years ago, and a French beefsteak called “Mama Marmalade” that I’ve been eyeing for a couple years.  So I ordered 1 plant of each, except for the Super Paste of which I ordered 30 seeds. I have a lot of seeds left in inventory: Pink Beefsteak; San Marzano; Green Zebra; Big Rainbow; Mr. Stripy; Brandywine; Giant Garden Paste; Mortgage Lifter, Black Russian, Black Seaman and Cherokee Purple.
Watermelon:  I chose “Faerie Hybrid” an early maturing (just 60 days), yellow rind with red inside.
Winter Squash and pumpkins: I’m sort of over my fixation, except that I saved a lot of seeds and am still mad about the squirrels eating all my squash and pumpkins.  So, although I am not buying any squash or pumpkin seeds, I have the following in inventory: Japanese black pumpkin; Honeyboat; Dumpling; No-ID other than “small winter”; Cheese pumpkin; Queensland Blue pumpkin; Butternut; Honeynut; Spaghetti squash; Giant pumpkin; Jester squash; Cherokee bush pumpkin.
Zucchini- Burpee fordhook heirloom is an excellent staple, but the Burpee’s Sure Thing variety really does well with less sun, and is very resistant to powdery mildew so I’m going with that one because last summer was just not hot enough for zucchini.  
Roots:
Beets: Pinetree “Beet Mix”
Carrot: Territorial Seed “Giants of Colmar”, large winter harvest carrots for stew. Park Seed’s “Rainbow Blend” purple-red-orange. Pinetree  “Culinary Blend” yellow-white-orange.
Radish:  Not interested! So, of course, I ordered some radishes that don’t look like radishes or even have the same growing season as regular radishes:  “Minowasa Summer Cross No.3 Diakon” from Territorial Seeds, which looks like a white carrot and grows in the summer.  
Potatoes:  Pinetree “Pinto Gold”, a medium sized gold potato with violet patches, and “Blackberry” small, jet black potato from Territorial Seed.
Sweet Potatoes: “Japanese Marasaki” from Territorial Seed. Purple skin with white interior that is sweet and pecan nutty, but with a firm, dry texture of a russet potato.
Turnips: “Hinona Kabu Japanese” from Pinetree, these look like pink carrots and are specifically for pickling.
No celeriac, rutabaga, parsnips, radishes, burdock, scorzonera, salsify, milk thistle….until I end up planting them anyway.  
Greens:
Arugula:  Pinetree Seeds “Astro” quick growing for clipping.
Chard: Pinetree “Peppermint Stick” Swiss chard. I don’t like red or yellow chard because chard is closely related to beets and the red/yellow coloring makes Swiss chard taste like beet greens.  I like beet greens but I also like chard that does not taste identical to beet greens.  So maybe peppermint stick will be a good, colorful choice that won’t taste too much like beets.
Claytonia: It is a succulent green that looks like a bouquet of little lily pads. Terrirotial Seeds “Miner’s Lettuce”.
Escarole: Burpee “Sugarloaf” This is a very tight-headed, upright variety that looks like a pointy cabbage.
Lettuce:  Burpee “Four Seasons Blend”, “Heatwave Blend” and “All Season Romaine Blend”.
Mache:  “Marcholong Mache” a super early corn mache from PineTree.
Nettles: “Stinging Nettle” from Hudson Valley Seed Company.
Orach: a violet red, velvet leafed spinach that grows on an 18 inch, upright stalk. Pinetree “Double Rose”.
Spinach: Park Seeds “Space”heat and mildew resistant.  “Renegade”a high yielding, weather indifferent variety is sold out! So I ordered “Imperial Star” very cold hardy.  And I’m going with “Lakeside”, a failure-proof, everything hardy, spinach from Territorial Seed.
Purslane: Pinetree “Goldberger Purslane”a larger, paler and more succulent variety, with a lovely golden bloom.
“Salad Burnett” a cucumber-tasting salad green from Pinetree
“Saltwort”, a succulent green from Pinetree
“Upland Cress” , a spicy, mountain cress from Pinetree.
Brassica:
Asian Greens: Park Seed “Li Ren Choy” pak choi;   Pinetree “Purple Pak Choi” and “Tatsoi Greens” and “Misome”; “Green coin” tatsoi and “Yum Choi Sum” Asian chard, from Territorial Seeds; “Rainbow Tatsoi” and “Komatsuna” tender green, from Hudson Valley Seed Company.
Broccoli:  Territorial Seed’s: “Aspabroc” and “Emerald Crown”, I have two rows of winter/spring broccoli mulched with straw in the garden that I am trying to overwinter.  And I have plenty of “Homegrown” broccoli mix seed in inventory.
Cabbage: Not a single cabbage succeeded last year.  So this year we start earlier and we start fresh. Territorial Seed “Kalibos” a pointy red cabbage, and “Wa Wa Tsai” an early, mini Napa cabbage, Burpee’s “Red Dragon” open leaf, red, napa cabbage.  Pinetree’s “Point One” green head super early (48 days) cabbage. I have some “Round Dutch” green cabbage left in inventory.
Cauliflower:  Park Seeds “Veronica” which is that weird, green pyramidal Romanesco – Sold Out!, so Pinetree “Romanesco”, and “Snow Crown” - 53 Days to maturity. I have some “Fioretto” open head cauliflower and “Burgundy” purple cauliflower seeds in inventory still.
Collards: I did not order any seeds, yet.  I have a row of seedlings mulched with straw that I am trying to overwinter.  I have “Champion” collard seeds leftover from several years ago.
Kale: “Portuguese Kale” from Burpee.  I have often described it as looking like giant green roses. It tastes more like cabbage than kale.  “Amara Ethiopian Kale” (looks like shiny, kohlrabi leaves, and matures in 40 days) and “Kosmic” perennial kale, from Territorial Seed.  I have 2 surviving Sea Kale (perennial) seedlings in the orchard. We’ll see if they survive the winter. And “Organic Kale Garden Blend” from Park seeds.  I also have a lot of Red Russian Kale seedlings I mulched with straw to see if they will overwinter. And I left some Portuguese Kale standing to see if it will re-sprout (if only to give me some more seed to plant in the fall).  I have lots of very old curly blue kale seeds leftover.
And, because they seem to go with the brassicas in planting rotations, the alums:
Leek: Territorial Seeds “Succession Planting” threesome of Zermatt, Tadorna and Bandit (seeds).
Onion: Burpee’s “Sweet mix” for shorter days.
Scallions: Park Seed “Warrior”.
Garlic:  I planted garlic in the fall, and it developed green shoots and roots.  I mulched it with straw and hope it will sprout in another 6-8 weeks.
