burning to the ground | draco malfoy

Request: love your draco work 😍so requesting something where you’re a Weasley and dating draco set in the half blood prince where the borrow sets on fire. where draco apparates to the burrow to tell you to get out because he knows Bellatrix is coming but your family don’t know that you’re dating. just imagining family angst but a really scared and afraid draco 💖💞 A/N: okay so i freaking LOVED this request. i seriously think this might be one of my favorite pieces i’ve written. the end makes me 🥺 (all of yall out there like me who have seen the movies 80 million times will hopefully understand) i hope you like this!!! 💓 warnings: a bit angsty but i promise it’s also fluffy too dw word count: 1786

Christmas. The most wonderful time of the year. Or so they say.

This Christmas was hosted at your house, “the burrow” as everyone called it. You didn’t have much being 1/8 Weasley children, but what you did have was an overwhelming sense of family and love. Your mom decided it was only fitting to invite Remus and Tonks, and of course Harry (who was basically another one of your brothers at this point) as he had been staying with all of you for the year.

This Christmas was different than all the others. Conversations were less about trying to guess what gifts everyone got each other and more about what they thought the Death Eaters’ next moves were. It was obvious that everyone was on edge.

You all walked your guests out at the end of the night. You were leading the pack, and stopped on the porch to hug Remus and Tonks goodbye.

“It was delicious Molly, really.” You heard Tonks say and turned around to see her hugging your mom. Your focus then turned from that sweet moment to a very distressed looking Remus staring out at the landscape ahead. You had to admit, the front of your house looked a bit intimidating in the darkness and the slow breeze swaying the weeds near the water, but nothing too horrifying that it would cause this sort of reaction from Remus.

“What is it sweetheart?” You heard Tonks say softly, putting a hand on his arm. He shook his head briefly but didn’t respond.

You took a few steps forward to get a better look at what Remus might’ve been eyeing, the floor boards creaking underneath your feet. You heard some shuffling around behind you and saw that Harry and Ron had now made their way outside as well, standing closely behind you.

“Sorry ‘bout that.” Remus said, finally breaking the tense silence. “We should go.”

“Thank you again for everything.” Tonks said waving to us. I gave her a smile and the two of them took each other’s hands and started to walk away.

“Alright. Let’s all go inside then.” Your mom said hurriedly.

You heard everyone moving behind you, but you stood still where you were.

“(y/n)! Let’s go!” Ron yelled.

You turned around and waved him off. “I’ll be there in a second.”

“Whatever.” He replied.

After a few more minutes of staring out into the darkness, you convinced yourself that both you and Remus were crazy and that there was nothing there. You took one last good look before turning around to go back inside.

“(y/n)!” You froze. Nope. There is no way this is happening. All night long everyone has been freaked out over Death Eaters and the second you turn around an unknown voice calls your name? You took a deep breath, in which you prepared yourself for death. Why didn’t you go inside when Ron called you?

You slowly turned around, expecting to see Voldemort himself pointing his wand at you. Instead you were met with the all too familiar platinum blonde hair, all black suit, and worried expression of your boyfriend Draco.

You felt a rollercoaster of emotions swim through your brain and your body. A choked half laugh half cry left your throat as you stared at him, wide eyed.

“(y/n)...” He said quietly, for the second time that night.

“Draco.” You replied, before slowly walking towards him and practically falling into his embrace.

This year had been tough for Draco and for your relationship. The beginning of year was...an undertaking to say the least, with Draco keeping you completely in the dark about his father, his family, and his commitments to the Dark Lord. However finally one day he broke down and told you everything which ended in an entire night of cuddles, tears, “i’m so sorrys” and “it’s not your faults.” You have never loved anyone like you loved Draco, and you knew he felt the same. You both hadn’t meant to hide your relationship for this long, but this year everything had gotten so complicated. You decided it was best to keep it a secret from both of your families, obviously knowing the rather difficult history between them. So now that your secret boyfriend who was tasked with killing the most powerful wizard in the world, who would probably be killed by your father if his father didn’t reach him first, had randomly showed up on your lawn on Christmas night, you knew something must be wrong.

“I love you.” You said quickly as you pulled away to look up at him. “But why in the world are you here?”

“You have to get out of here. Now.” Was all he said. There were tears pricking his eyes so you reached up to cup his face, softly stroking his cheek with your thumb.

“What? Why?” You pressed.

“It’s not safe here anymore. I can’t lose you, I can’t–” He said before breaking into a cry.

“Shhh baby.” You said, letting his head fall against your shoulder. “One step at a time okay? Just tell me what’s happening.” Your voice was soft but you were feeling anything but calm right now. There were a million things running through your brain, number one being the fact that you were in plain sight with an entire family of hardcore anti-Malfoys sitting about 10 feet away.

After a few more seconds he lifted his head back up to look at you. “You have to get out of here. She’s coming. I heard their whole plan I know that they’re comi-”

“What in the bloody hell is HE doing here?!” You heard. Your jaw dropped open and you jumped away from Draco. You turned around to see Ron and Harry in the doorway with their wands pointed at him.

“I don’t know but I don’t think he’s here to say Merry Christmas.” Harry spat. He started fast walking towards the two of you.

“STOP!” You screamed, before you fully thought it through.

“WHAT IS GOING ON?” You closed your eyes as your dad’s voice boomed through your ears.

“Shit.” You whispered.

“Expelliarmus!” Harry fired at Draco. You didn’t even notice Draco pull out a wand; your head was spinning with how to handle this situation. Draco’s wand went flying out of his hand and he quickly ran to grab it.

“Stupefy!” Your dad yelled, causing Draco to groan as he was thrown farther backwards. You were frozen to the spot, not having any idea what to do. Your dad ran towards Draco, towering over him on the ground.

“Mr. Weasley I-” Draco started.

“What did you say to her?!” Your dad yelled again. “What do you want?” Draco tried to sit up but Ron came over and fired another spell at him.

“STOP IT!” You cried.

“Go inside (y/n)! You shouldn’t be here.” Your dad said, turning back to you. But you couldn’t. You couldn’t stand here and watch your family torture your boyfriend. All of the people you love most in the world were fighting right in front of your eyes and it was tearing you apart.

“I’ll ask you one more time Malfoy. What...are...you doing...here.”

“DAD!” You exclaimed and finally got the courage to march over there.

“I told you to go inside (y/n!)” He shot back.

“No!” You choked out. “I LOVE HIM.”

The four of them snapped their heads in your direction, and Ron’s wand fell to the ground out of his limp hand.

“WHAT?” Harry asked firmly.

A tear fell down your cheek as you ran over to Draco. You helped him off the ground before you replied to anybody.

“Look...I know this is... this is the worst time and it’s not how I wanted this to happen. This is my boyfriend.” You said, a dry laugh following your statement at the utter ridiculousness and horrid timing of the situation. “We didn’t get to finish our conversation before you all came out here like maniacs but I promise this is the last person in the world who is going to try and hurt me. Or any of us.” You pleaded.

“Have you gone mad?!” Ron yelled.

“Well this is a turn of events I wasn’t expecting.” You snapped your head to see Fred and George on the porch smirking and pretending to eat popcorn.

“Is it so hard to believe this? Crazier things have happened in our lives!” You exclaimed, exasperated. This entire night felt like it had taken at least 5 years off of your life.

Your dad nodded at you slowly. “We’ll deal with this later. But for now, I would still love to know what was so important to tell you that he needed to disrupt our Christmas.”

Draco swallowed hard. He looked over at you and you nodded, signaling that it was okay. “I...I came here to try and protect her. A-and all of you. The death eaters are all at my house. I heard them say they were coming here tonight.”

“Merlin’s beard.” Your dad said quietly.

“Draco...what?” Shocked was an understatement.

Before anyone could get any more questions in, a swirling black mist no one could mistake for one of the Death Eaters themselves came hurling out of the sky and landed in front of you.

“EVERYBODY GET OUT OF HERE NOW!” Harry screamed.

The high pitched laugh of Bellatrix Lestrange rang through the air. Harry immediately ran after her through the bushes as more came down from the sky. You recognized Fenrir Greyback, the unofficial Death Eater but very official aggressive werewolf, and a few others.

“SHIT.” You said as everyone around you started fighting. You grabbed your wand out of your pocket but before you could fire a spell felt Draco envelop you in a hug.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen...but don’t forget that I love you.” He said, his tears falling onto your face due to your close proximities.

“I love you too. I’m so sorry.” You said, and gripped onto him like your life depended on it.

Being a Weasley was complicated. Actually, no it wasn’t. You couldn’t dream of a more loving, caring, or hilarious family to be a part of. Obviously you had your petty sibling fights and teasing, but it was nothing you couldn’t handle.

Being a Weasley was complicated when the love of your life was a Malfoy. And as the screams of your family, black clouds, and fire engulfing your property occurred around you, you couldn’t help but miss the times when being a Weasley was easy. When you all sat in the living room in your matching pajamas, hearing your mom’s voice telling the stories of Babbity Rabbity, or The Three Brothers traveling at midnight.

Wow I’m so sorry this was so long. But guess what? It’s gonna get even longer. Sorry, again.

So one of the differences between the first and second Thor movies is that Thor 2 has humor in the climax whereas Thor 1 doesn’t. This is because of the differences with who is the villain. In Thor 1, Thor is having to fight his brother. To quote Avengers, they “played together and fought together” for several millennia. Of course there’s not going to be any humor in it cause there shouldn’t be. The climax at the end of the movie isn’t supposed to be some epic battle between the forces of Good TM and Bad TM. It’s supposed to be tragic that he’s having to fight his own brother because Loki lost his mind due to so many factors. The last joke in the film is “You’re an amazon liar brother, always have been” “It’s good to have you back”. There’s nothing else till the end credit scene. That’s because Kenneth Branagh knew that this was supposed to be viewed at as being sad a hopeless, not some awesome upbeat battle.

Thor 2 on the other hand, is exactly that. Thor has known Malekith for.. what? 2 days? Maybe 3? His relationship and dynamic with Malekith is different than with his brother. To Thor, this is just another enemy attacking Asgard. And I’m not sure whether this was intentional or not (because I remember reading somewhere how Allen Taylor had a bitch of a time in the editing process so I think the movie came out different than he intended) but the lack of any personal relationship will Malekith means the film can make really funny jokes and still have it fit with the film. If anything, I might even argue that the humor helped the film to maintain a very nice positive vibe. Idk I can’t think of the right words to explain it but the jokes actually fit the film very well.

However, then we move on to Ragnarok. With Ragnarok, Thor is fighting his sister. While (just like Malekith) he has only known her for two days, that still doesn’t take away the fact that he is having to fight his sibling. And I’m not a film director but if I had the option of approaching this situation and taking it the Thor 1 route or the the Thor 2 route, I’d go with Thor 1. Because it’s actually incredibly tragic that Hela has been driven to insanity like Loki (though ok a different level) due to Odin’s shitty parenting. She is the horrible way she is because Odin made her that way. And that could’ve been an AMAZINGLY complex story with the audience feeling so much sympathy for Hela like we did with Loki in Thor 1, but the narrative just falls flat for two reasons. 1) Taika admitted he didn’t want the film to be emotionally complex so 2) The humor in the climax completely detracts from the seriousness of the situation.

Also, some side notes: Yes, this is edited from the original. I accidentally deleted everything and then had to go back and add everything back in. So I also had to re-tag people too. And I also added a bit more explanation at the end. I meant to do so when I originally posted but it never got done till now. Sry. Also sry that it’s so long

Tales of Crestoria Part 3 - Growing from Mistakes (Ch 3-5)

Anyway, about time Kanata and Misella got captured by Aegis and Leon? Haha. As for Aegis' close relationship with Queen Rebecca? Nope, that's just spelling disaster man. Aegis is probably as naive as Kanata if he thinks that this is okay, because even if he knows so, people don't, and it doesn't help that the Queen personally visits him a lot. He's pretty silly and innocent to think that him being her confidant is okay when she's supposed to have the king and many other people to rely on. It definitely doesn't help that she does all this so publicly. Btw, since we haven't seen Leon much, and this was probably the first time I heard him talk so much, I finally confirmed that his VA is definitely Midorikawa Hikaru! Tamahome (Fushigi Yuugi) brings back all my memories! I also loved him as Yoshino Yuusuke (Clannad), yes, he is one of my favourite VAs too, so I'm glad I have his SSR! Anyway, I'm not sure why he's so adamant on capturing Vicious since it doesn't seem like a justice thing like it is for Aegis but I do appreciate how kind Leon is to be concerned over Aegis and want to watch out for him.

LMAO at the prisoners feeling like they're being disrespected because Kanata and Misella kept talking and ignoring them, and then when they do talk to them, Kanata says nice to meet you like they're at a party or something hahahah. Nice to see that Rebecca isn't just a damsel in distress and actually has been actively finding a way to escape from the kingdom. Not surprised though, she's young, kind and beautiful, whereas the king is so old and definitely evil lol. I feel sorry for her that she got dragged into becoming queen just because the king loved her beauty. Like dang though, she was a rural farm girl and he was able to find her? That would suck. Or I wonder if he goes around looking for beautiful women lol. Okay, he does lol, he even finds beautiful men, eugh. It's nice to know that Rebecca was once pretty naive though and thought that everything would be like a dream come true since the king proposed to her, and it was only after she married him that she realised how crappy her life could become. To be fair though, at least she's still in his good favours as a queen and didn't get demoted into servant or something after he finished playing with her. I guess her maintaining her beauty helped lol. I feel sorry for Rebecca, I really wanted her to live even if she was kinda delusional and hopeful that Aegis loved her. Kinda silly how the king could appear so suddenly in the sewers though, like how did he catch up to them so fast and how did they not notice lol. Anyway, I feel sorry for Aegis the most. He didn't even kill anyone but he's been framed for trying to elope with Rebecca and then killing her when she became a liability. At least for Kanata, he really did kill his father. In this case, Aegis is completely innocent. He's such a kind and righteous soul that wanted the best for his kingdom too. It's so saddening. Leon to the rescue! I'm happy that Leon prioritises Aegis over disgust at having to ally with Vicious since he seems to hold a grudge against him or something. It seems like Leon is really strong! Ooh, Yuna saves the day with her boat? Good to know she's the informant that Vicious frequently deals with. Her manner of speaking is interesting yet annoying though lol. Anyway, kinda cool that this Ivis person was able to create the Nation of Sin whilst forming a barrier that protects it from the outside world, and even preventing people without the Stain of Guilt from being able to enter the place or even see it. It seems like they really wanted to create a safe haven for all these people. It's funny that Vicious calls it a boring place, but I guess it's understandable lol, in any case though, I'm not surprised it's a boring and peaceful place. With all the chaos that comes with being a transgressor, what makes Vicious think they'd be crazy here? Lol. I mean, if they were, I'm sure they'd get kicked out lol.

Lmao, even though Aegis is getting kinda annoying with the transgressor this and transgressor that (his situation is understandable though, so I don't really blame him), I love how Kanata just drags him along, and Vicious just wants Aegis to remember that he is a transgressor now too lol. It was heartbreaking when Aegis finally kinda opened up and talked about how his parents were poor but did their best to fulfill his dream of becoming a knight, so in order to repay them, he worked hard to become a righteous knight, yet that all backfired on him when he lost everything and he's even being helped by the people he stubbornly believed to be the worst and has even become one of them, it's just pretty depressing. It was nice to see that the warmth of the transgressors' stew really got to Aegis. I'm happy to see Aegis fight for these defenceless transgressors that are getting massacred by the little girl (who is the culmination of the thoughts of condemnation etc) and her army of enforcers. I'm kinda surprised all the transgressors died though, like, did no one think it was possible that they might get attacked one day and prepared for that? I doubt not having a blood sin is an excuse too, since Aegis fended at least some of them off without it. Oh well, at least the little furry creature survived hahaha. Maybe we'll get an SSR version of the furry thing one day if it evolves into something strong🤣 I guess it's good that they've resolved themselves to fight against the world and the vision orbs instead of just hiding away now though. Lmao at Misella naming the little creature after meat, I guess Meakyu is a kindaaaa cute name.

Omggg it's Luke!! I love him. He's so spoiled and whiny, but it's hilarious. Lmaooo when Luke said Misella should sell her dress so that they would have money to hire a carriage and Kanata said if they sell it, she'd be naked and that would be awesome LOL. Priorities, Kanata. Omgg, I didn't expect them to have Luke once again make an irrevocable mistake that would cause innocent people and their town to be destroyed... But, like Vicious said, the biggest problem lies with the Senegal guy who knew what kind of guy Luke was and lied to him that the "monster" needed to be defeated when it was actually keeping the mountain intact and safe with its' mana. Wow, Senegal is so ruthlessly cruel... I can't believe he even killed the Southvein people who were able to evacuate from the landslide and survive. Not too surprising since they interfered with his mining but still crazy. Even more crazy that his fabricated lie is that he had no choice but to decimate the town because he sent Luke as a peace envoy and Luke ended up killing one of the residents in self defence (due to their hatred of Northmine people), like excuse you?? Is no one going to investigate the landslide and other stuff? Or are they so powerful that they can block people from going there? Btw, so nice to see Jade!! I guess the reason why Misella has been thinking that Kanata isn't really "Kanata-like" is because instead of advocating for his sort of belief in justice, he is now instead taking things into his own hands to punish others that he thinks "deserves" it. Not saying he's wrong since people like Senegal probably do deserve it, but in a sense, it just kinda becomes the idea that instead of the vision orbs doing the condemnations, now Kanata is doing them, and really, is this how justice is supposed to be, and really, can they save the world like this? Since really, because of their belief in their own views, they ended up killing the guardian spirit of the mountain to save Luke, like yeah, they had "no choice", but was it really like that, or did they just not think of other methods to prevent stuff like this from happening? Have they kinda become used to the idea that they should just solve everything with the violence and condemnation that they were dealt with?

I'm kinda happy to see that everyone is helping out Luke in wanting him to find his own path after the sins he committed, causing so many deaths even if he didn't intend it. Aegis is right, Luke's higher position makes him even more responsible for his lack of knowledge and his naivety, so it would be nice for him to face his sins and grow as a person. Well, I guess rather than it being something nice, he really needs to grow up and understand that his decisions can really change lives. But, I think that with Jade and Asbel there to guide him, he'll be good as long as he tries. Lmao at their great idea of earning money, I'm not sure if Kanata, Misella and Aegis could win prize money as a theatre troupe lol. It's funny how Misella thought Aegis wanted her spot as the heroine when they haven't even decided on what to do lol. Penelope must be dying from how bad Kanata and them are loll, although she does seem to be literally dying too. Anyway, nice to see that Yuna vows to not use her vision orb and instead tries her best to uncover all the facts and the whole story (as the journalist she is) with all the evidence she can gather to piece everything together rather than relying on a vision orb to do things when it only shows one side of things.

On the other hand, it's nice to see that Kanata and them have realised the existence of the crazy researcher Malcolm experimenting placing human souls in monsters and the other way around. It seems that he was the one who made Emil share his body with Ratatosk now. I guess Kanata will definitely meet up with Cress again one day then (since Cress is adventuring with Mint, Emil/Ratatosk and Marta to prevent people like Cress' master and Emil's situation from happening again). Forgot to mention, but it was really cool seeing Lloyd and Colette! Well, it was kinda obvious that Penelope was dying, but it was nice to know that the reason Yuna is deterred from using her vision orb is kinda similar to Farah. Yuna used it on Penelope's mother to show her physically abusing Penelope as a child when she made mistakes in training to be the best actress, and although it's definitely terrible to allow something like that to go on, it's also true that Yuna hurt Penelope a lot by using the vision orb on her mother and having her condemned to death. As she said, there were definitely other ways to handle the situation, but because everyone from the moment they are born have been ingrained with the idea of the vision orb, everyone decides to solve their problems by using it instead of thinking about other ways. They probably think it's a hassle to deal with problems any other way when you can so easily record it and have other people help make the judgement on what to do instead of thinking for yourself on what other things you can do to rectify the situation. But yeah, I'm sure Penelope doesn't really blame Yuna, since really, her mum was abusive and Yuna wanted to protect her.

Omgg their pirate costumes are so cuteee! Especially Misella's! Love it! Meakyu's is pretty hilarious lolll. It was a pretty cool idea to pretend the pirate raid was actually their stage play that was a part of the festival. It wouldn't have been cool if the pirates were actually stronger than them though hahaha, but all's well ends well. It's pretty silly but funny how Vicious was the one who lured them all here to chase some made up treasure just because he wanted to steal a ship from the pirates lolll. He's so drastic, I love it. Awww, Patty and Chat are so cute~ I love how the townspeople dragged them away to treat them to food for their "good show" against the pirates haha. Honestly, I know Yuna meant well and everything by telling people that Penelope's performance sucked and that they should look forward to her next one instead because she knew how dissatisfied Penelope was with it and how much she would want to stand up again to rectify how bad this one was, but really, Yuna (and the party) are the only ones that know Penelope's true feelings. So really, it's hard for people to not dislike her for saying such "disrespectful" things about Penelope's "last performance" especially as a close friend. As for the condemnation towards her, really, it's just a bunch of petty people everywhere that don't like her journalist articles lol, but it is rather interesting that you can be condemned for something like this. It really shows how the importance doesn't lie in the gravity of the crime, the vision orb is just a depraved way of wish fulfillment for those who abuse it to get rid of people they don't like. I like how Vicious helped Yuna come to terms that what she said wasn't wrong, because she knew that praising her crappy performance was the biggest insult to Penelope, and really, these people have no right to condemn her for what she thinks just because they think that Penelope is dying so no one should say such things. They didn't even bother listening to why she said it and I'm sure they knew what she said was right anyway but were just too spiteful and self absorbed to care since it was their best "legitimate" opportunity to get rid of her. The only good thing out of all this is that for once, there were actually other people next to these crazy people that were trying to tell them that it was unreasonable and possibly a misunderstanding and that they shouldn't be too hasty to condemn Yuna like that, which is a first that I very welcomed. I mean, it honestly felt like these people used their brains for once compared to the villagers in the previous chapters. Maybe you could warrant it as the difference between countryside villages and city towns, but whatever it is, it's nice to see that the story is at least veering a bit away from "every person aside from the Tales characters are either dumb, crazy or evil".

Anyway, nice end to the chapter as Kanata further resolves himself to change the world and Yuna will accompany them as their "pen" since "swords" can't resolve everything. The only sad part is that I used my gleamstones to draw but still couldn't get SSR Yuna, but at least I got an SSR Aegis loll. Overall, I do look forward to the next chapters and characters. I mean, Eizen (the guy who got annoyed at Vicious for using Aifread's name to lure the crappy pirates here) looked pretty cool and I would totally draw for him if he got an SSR. He'd probably fit in well with my team of beautiful boys LOL. He seemed like a best boy for some people, so I guess I'll look forward to if he'll have more appearances soon! Otherwise, I would like to see Tear, Natalia and Guy (outside of the recent event)!

delphinium + lizzie

delphinium: school rivals au + @geminislegacynote: you get a hogwarts au too because apparently, i don’t know how normal school rivalry works. ( also, i’m twitching the ages– students get their letter at 13-14 yolo )warnings: death, war, same ol’.

“scared, saltzman?” “you wish.”

albus dumbledore was a wise and benevolent man. always finding value even in the most wretched of people. it was this what sometimes blinded him. it was this, what made him commit not one, or two, but three mistakes.

he’d gotten a lead to a dingy muggle foster home, ever since three kids arrived there. weird things had been happening. none of the caretakers knew what to make out of them, they had tried anything– as much as calling a priest to try and expel the DEVIL out of the two girls and the boy. it wasn’t every day that three magical children found their destiny to be abandoned or sent away for whatever reasons. dumbledore decided to ‘adopt’ them. signed the papers and the muggles never knew anything about any of them again. they were more than relieved to get rid of them.

“elsey, ever.” “SLYTHERIN!”“mara, scarlett.” “SLYTHERIN!”“valentine, harlow.” “SLYTHERIN!”

“fear not, minerva. i have great faith in their talent.” mcgonagall trusted the headmaster, that’s why he was the one in charge, but when the three new students get sorted in the same house not even had the hat touched a single hair on their head. it left a bitter taste on her tongue. ( she feared a repeat of a prior slytherin student. )

dumbledore wasn’t wrong, the three slytherins caught up at an alarming speed to the rest of the students that had been raised surrounded by magic. the slytherin house had never been stronger, but it was one thing what professors saw, and another what students lived. while they were talented, they also quickly made a name for themselves even among upper students– one warning: BE CAREFUL.

–

it was lizzie saltzman’s first year at hogwarts. something she’d be looking forward to since the moment she could grab her mother’s wand and turn a whistle into a clock that could sing you the time. the blonde twin already had her life planned, she’d go to hogwarts become a ravenclaw like her father, join the quidditch team on her second year to become the captain and seeker like her mother, meet a cute boy, win the house cup all of her years and… okay, maybe not all of her life but at least the next seven years.

this new year would be the first chapter of a great story in lizzie’s book. ( or so she thought. )

–

“FOUND THEM.” harlow announced as she barged in the common room where v and scarlett played a game of wizard’s chess. ( a game that was spiced up by making bets ) the winner of that match wouldn't be known as harlow threw a small stack of papers on top of the board making some pieces fly, “the newbies.”

it was the second year they took advantage of the first graders, either intimidating, manipulating or striking deals so to have them wrapped around their fingers. if the students in question were smart, they accepted the olive branch extended in their direction. if not– their life became nightmares. to say the three were the definition of bullies was an understatement.

“i call dibs on the saltzmans,” the blonde called to the other two that had already grabbed the list to look over the names. the family was basically royalty, both in money and blood. not to mention their family background was a bit of a SCANDAL ( for small minds ). their mother getting murdered by their uncle when she was pregnant with them, and magically transferred to a family friend. harlow would consider their family dinners to be quite a ride. because that wasn’t all…

“isn’t it odd their sister doesn’t share a name with them?”

the question earned her a blank stare. “you really ask that, harlow. when your girlfriend doesn’t share a name with her brother either?” fair point. not like she’d give in to that. “isn’t it time you go kiss your boyfriend goodnight?”

“THE boyfriend.”

“well, someone’s still clearly in denial.”

“only you two troll heads take up a bet on charming your way into someone’s pants but end up falling in love before that even happens.”

it was during their second year that they challenged each other, whoever held the pretense the longest, was the winner. harlow was the first one to come clean during halloween. claudia didn’t talk to her the rest of the year. ( things were just now starting to pick up. ) scarlett got bored too quickly, smashed the gryffindors heart to pieces so badly the boy had to transfer to durmstrang. whereas v… he’d say he was the real winner, but both girls knew that for him, it wasn’t a game anymore. or else why would he continue to see the hufflepuff when no one was playing anymore?

–

some people think the rivalry between harlow and lizzie started the very first-day lizzie stepped into hogwarts…

it was easy to tell apart muggleborns and even some half-bloods from the rest. lizzie wasn’t one to look around with wides eyes at the magical candle or the talking giant toads. she felt at home as she was grouped with the others waiting for her name to be called. however, it wasn’t the voice of mcgonagall the one who did that first.

“lizzie saltzman.” the girl in question turned to look at the source, a blonde girl with a confident smirk on her face. was she supposed to know who she was? “i’m harlow.” she introduced her name there. “harlow valentine.” nope, didn’t ring a single bell. “you’ve come to know some of us are better than others, saltzman. you don’t want to go making friends with the wrong sort.” she continued, almost looking over at the others with contempt before looking back at lizzie and widening her smirk. ( was that supposed to make her look friendly? ) “i can help you there.” harlow extended her hand in the first grader’s direction, expecting for her to shake it in acceptance. what harlow didn’t know however, was that lizzie wasn’t as superficial as she pegged her as. besides, she already had friends on her own. and this girl? lizzie scoffed, was she serious? “i think i can tell the wrong sort for myself.”

harlow wasn’t expecting that, and what followed? the snickers of the others on the group didn’t help at all. ( she would not allow a bunch of first graders to laugh at her. ) she dropped her hand, and her face lost all fake politeness. her lips parted to say something else, but there was a firm tap on her shoulder. “to your seat, valentine.” harlow took one last look in lizzie’s direction before walking away.

“can you believe her?” she scoffed looking back at josie who met her with a worried expression and hope who looked like she was ready for this school year to be over. the sorting ceremony started and names started to get called with each house eagerly cheering for their new students. the gryffindors almost roared when hope got sorted, and after a few more names were called–

“saltzman, elizabeth.” lizzie sat on the chair, almost feeling giddy as the hat started talking out loud, as it listed her qualities she let her eyes wander from josie on the group of students in front of her to the ravenclaw table, expecting for it’s name to be called when– “SLYTHERIN!”

her head moved so fast to the slytherin table it almost gave her whiplash. no, no, no, no. there must be a mistake. slytherin? …at least it wasn’t hufflepuff. she sat on the table and a few minutes later, josie was sitting beside her. okay, it was just a tiny dent in her plan, she could make it work as a slytherin.

a note reached her hands– SHOULD’VE TAKEN THE OFFER. looking up, and some seats away sat none other than the girl from earlier.

…huffepuff didn’t sound so bad right now.

–

it took the initial shock from fading away, that both twins were sorted into slytherin– but lizzie found to fit in just right. some of her classmates talked about and to her on how she had stood up to one of the three slytherin bullies. lizzie found harlow to be CHILDISH ( and creepy ) just throwing glares at her and smirking from the other side of the room. what the hell was she smirking for?

she’d come to know that the three of them had been taken from the system and terrorized half of the student body just for fun while putting a nice face for the professors. ( all backstories provided by a nervous-looking curly-haired hufflepuff boy who had smitten none other than hope mikaelson. ) “what are you, their fan or something?”

“lizzie.”

“i’m just asking.”

“no, i, uh… nearly avoided getting wedgies at foster care. i don’t think they even know who i am.”

“what’s your name again, gizmo?”

–

…some others think it was the next year.

so far, only slytherins knew of how little lizzie saltzman and harlow valentine could stand each other. it had almost cost them the house cup for the first time in three years after they continued to make their house lose points. it mostly consisted of bickering during class and stupid pranks harlow decided to play on lizzie.

it wasn’t until the quidditch team was accepting new members that it happened. madam hooch had suggested lizzie to try out for seeker which couldn’t thrill her more, she had made a comment on how her house seeker was better suited for beater. she wasn’t wrong… because the slytherin seeker was no other than harlow.

“what are you doing here?” the older blonde practically sneered at seeing lizzie arrive at the pitch all geared up. “what does it look like i’m doing? i heard our team’s seeker needs to be replaced with a better one.” harlow wasn’t having it.

the tryouts happened, both girls were really good, but not even harlow’s confundo spells or the ‘accidental’ bludger sent in lizzie’s direction after having snatched a bat from v’s hand could’ve stopped what made the hatred between girls more obvious– word got around quickly at school. lizzie saltzman was the new seeker.

–

“it smells like butterbeer in here,” scarlett wrinkled her nose as she walked into the slytherin common room. it was almost empty, most students left for the holidays but not them. the three teenagers had lived in the castle ( and it’s surroundings ) since they got there six years ago. “has any of you been fucking?”

“don’t look at me. aster left for christmas, something about his father finally showing his face.” by his tone, v was less than amused by that. a bertie botts bean thrown at harlow to get her attention, making her fake innocent face break out into a smirk. “speaking of,” scarlett started her taunt, “how does it feel knowing you and lizzie are almost sisters now?”

it seemed like a cherry on top when after all of that, lizzie started dating claudia’s brother. and the boy was eager enough to PROPOSE to her the next year. harlow scoffed and popped the bean into her mouth, the coppery flavor invading her tongue as she bit the candy. BLOOD. “there are bigger plans than lizzie saltzman, right now.”

–

“i’m telling you, there’s something clearly off with those psychos.” lizzie commented from behind her hot chocolate. “more than usual.” since beginning the new school year, stranger things were starting to happen. students randomly getting injured or missing, only to appear after a couple of days with no recollection of what happened. dark magic invading the school, and maybe dumbledore wasn’t saying anything, but she knew hogwarts wasn’t safe anymore.

“ i know what i saw, she had this tattoo on her arm and–” an interruption soon following, “maybe you’re in love with her, lizzie.” penelope park teased from her seat next to josie, the slytherin had aways found more interest in the brunette twin than whatever child’s play her housemates had going all these years. “shove it, satan.”

“what do you mean?” landon finally asked in confusion looking between the girls. josie and hope sighed. “lizzie is under the impression harlow valentine is now a death eater.”

“this is their last year,” william reassured her, “one more year, and then they’ll be gone forever.”

–

that year, a friendly dueling tournament was held. something about promoting talent and good sportsmanship. the house, gender, or age didn’t matter– everyone was fair game. as the days passed the duels were becoming harder for some, even a few students ended up getting injured ( minor cuts or bruises ) but no one was ready for the final day.

it had been the talk of the week, how the final duel was between harlow valentine and lizzie saltzman. bets were getting raised; who would win? who would get burnt hair? and jokingly… who would die?

“remember, girls. this is a friendly duel. use your skills and wit. may the best witch win.” the professor reminded them as both slytherins stood face by face. in that moment, all that mattered was winning. lizzie wanted to wipe that look from harlow’s face. harlow wanted to break lizzie’s face. “wands at the ready!”

“scared, saltzman?”

“you wish.”

as they showed their wands and starting walking away from each other in the direction they were supposed to stand. the public started counting–

“ONE! TWO!”

“EVERTE STATUM.” harlow threw the spell before its time, effectively hitting lizzie and sending her flying through the air to hit the wall. people in the room gasped, and there was one cackle. v had predicted harlow wouldn’t wait the count.

after getting back the air that had gotten knocked out from lizzie’s breath, she quickly got up to see harlow proudly chuckling. she’ll give her something to laugh about. “RICTUSEMPRA.”

harlow wasn’t fast enough to block out the spell that had the same effect as lizzie’s– except once she hit the ground, she couldn’t help the urge to laugh uncontrollably, so much and so hard it hurt. the laugh became pained and unhinged. just like harlow’s face once she picked herself up, this was just getting started.

both girls fought as best as they could, they were brilliant after all. though in the end, there wasn’t any winner… “SECTUSEMPRA.”

( that day, william flynn in all his gryffindor glory confronted harlow for what she did. the slytherin sent him to the hospital wing to accompany his fiancée by breaking a couple of ribs. claudia broke up things for good the next day. )

who did harlow blame for this? no other than lizzie saltzman.

–

harlow had claimed she read about that spell in a book, not having idea that it was a curse or what it did. her pretense was so good, she wasn’t expelled for that. ( to the disgruntlement of a lot of students. ) but she was in detention for the remaining six months because of that and for what she did to will later that day.

lizzie recovered completely a week later after the attack.

a month later, harlow disappeared. followed by scarlett, and then v. all within the same week.

( dumbledore should’ve predicted that. he should’ve kept an eye closer on them. )

the three of them came back before the school year finished. accompanied by a thousand of death eaters that soon invaded hogwarts. there was death and pain in every corner. friends and family lost. after that day, everyone had lost someone– just like how they had found friends in the most unexpected of places, but their lives were changed forever.

–

“scared, saltzman?” “you wish.”

“AVADA KEDAVRA!” “EXPELLIARMUS!”

ASK IF YOU WANT TAGGED! SORRY IF I MISSED ANYONE!

I always notice every single spelling mistake or issue after I’ve posted…so apologies in advance!

Tags aren’t working so I will be tagging in the comments.

It was six months later, the night before the wedding, Kayliegh and Liam were in the main dining room eating together before they went their separate ways. They were both staying at the Palace, one was staying in their quarters whilst the other was staying on the opposite side of the palace.

“I really wish we didn’t have to stay in different rooms tonight” Kayliegh sighed

“me too, but its tradition, plus you’re the one that said to me last week, when I protested it, that we had to because it was tradition” Liam laughed

“I know but…I’ll miss you” she smirked

“I’ll miss you too, but just think, when we see each other tomorrow, it will be so special”

“I know but it’s still a shitty tradition, and why on earth would you even listen to me saying that, just hearing it back sounds awful” she huffed

Liam laughed “if you don’t want to do it, why did you suggest it?”

“because I’m stupid Liam that’s why” she laughed as she placed her knife and fork on her empty plate, followed by Liam doing the same.

“I tell you what, why don’t we take a walk around the garden before we go our separate ways”

“okay…I suppose that might make me feel better” she smirked as she stood from her seat followed by Liam. The two headed outside towards the flower garden hand in hand.

“are you nervous about tomorrow?” Liam asked

“honestly…no…I’m not nervous…I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I know you’re a good man and I wouldn’t want to be with anyone else” Kayliegh replied “are you?”

“I was a little…people like me don’t normally get the love story…the happy ending…but knowing that you aren’t nervous and you’re sure that this is what you want, makes me not so nervous” he smiled as he squeezed her hand

“Liam…” Kayliegh whispered with a smile.

After their walk around the garden, the two headed inside once they reached the royal quarters, they stopped walking. Liam took Kayliegh’s hands in his as he turned to face her.

“are you sure we can’t just stay together?” she pouted.

“I love you and as much as I would absolute rather sleep beside you than all way the other side of the palace on my own, we have to” he smirked

“but what if I just don’t look at you all night then in the morning you just get up before me and I won’t see you? See problem solved”

“I don’t think it works like that sweetie” he laughed as he gently pulled her closer, wrapping his arms around her, he leaned down nuzzling his face into her neck.

“I can’t wait to be able to call you my wife” Kayliegh felt him smirk against her skin.

“and I can’t wait to call you my husband” she gently ran her fingers through his hair. “I’ll miss you” she whispered

“mmm I’ll miss you too” Liam smirked as he lifted his head then leaned in placing a kiss on her lips, he pulled back just slightly where their lips just grazed lightly as he spoke “for old times’ sake…one last goodbye?” he smirked

“for old times sake” she giggled

“until we meet again” Liam whispered

“until we meet again” Kayliegh smirked as she opened the door behind her, she quickly pecked Liam's lips with a smile “I love you” she whispered

“I love you too, my love, sleep well”

“and you too” she smiled before stepping into the bedroom, then waving Liam goodbye before closing the door.

The next morning Kayliegh was woken to knocking on the door, she groaned as pulled the duvet tighter around her.

When she didn’t answer the door opened and in came Allie.

“COME ON LAZY BONES GET UP! YOUR GETTING MARRIED TODAY!!!!”

“SHHHH Allie I’m sleeping!”

“Come on we only have six hours to get ready!”

“hmmm six hours? That’s more than enough time…let me have another hour!”

“come on Kayliegh”

“noooooooooo Allie, I need another hour come on!”

“nope get up come one!” Allie laughed a she grabbed the duvet and pulled it from the bed.

“You’re lucky you’re my sister!” Kayliegh mumbled as she climbed from the bed and headed for the bathroom.

“hey, you should be happy you’re getting married today”

“oh no, I’m so happy to be marrying Liam…but you just committed the ultimate crime and made me get up from that cloudlike bed where I was nice and cozy and comfy!”

Allie laughed as Kayliegh shut the door.

“eh you’ll get over it!” she called through the bathroom door

“can I at least have breakfast before I have to start getting ready?” Kayliegh called back

“of course, Liam had the most delicious breakfast platter sent to the room for us”

“isn’t he just the sweetest…Allie don’t you dare take anything off it until I come out! I want first dibs!”

“too wate!” Allie mumbled as she stuffed some of a croissant into her mouth

“ALLIE, I SWEAR IF THAT’S THE LAST BUTTER CROISSANT I WILL MURDER YOU!”

Just a few moments later, Kayliegh emerged from the bathroom, with a smirk.

“what is it?” Allie asked looking at her concerned

“I’m getting married today…to Liam…my perfect Liam”

“you’re such a sap!” Allie laughed

“shut up…where’s my croissant?” Kayliegh asked making her way over to the breakfast tray that had been brought into the room. as she reached the tray, she spotted a folded piece of paper lying on the side, she picked it up unfolded it.

Good morning my love,

I hope you had a restful night; I woke this morning bursting with excitement as it is the day I get the pleasure of taking you as my wife. This is the day we have been planning for and today we will make a promise to commit to each other for the rest of our lives. I have sent you some of your favourite breakfast foods, to start your day perfectly as I’m sure you didn’t get off to great start when Allie got you out of that cloudlike bed so I thought you would appreciate a nice breakfast.

I love you Kayliegh, So much.

All my Love, Your Liam x

Kayliegh smiled as she read over it again and again.

“Allie? How did I get so lucky? What did I do to manage to score myself a perfect man like Liam?”

Allie smirked as she watched her sister, full of love and happiness, she couldn’t have asked for Kayliegh to meet a better person than Liam. She had never seen her sister so happy. Kayliegh placed the letter down on the tray then redirected herself to the food.

“oooh strawberries” she grinned as she picked one from the bowl.

“you know…Liam's Brothers going to be here for the wedding” Kayliegh smirked, side eyeing Allie. “he’s a lot like you…always getting into trouble” Kayliegh giggled

“hey!” Allie smirked.

Allie moved over to the futon where she had put her bag down, she opened it taking out a small black box. She turned and made her way to Kayliegh with a smile.

“before everyone gets here, I want to give you this.” She handed her the box.

“what is it?” she asked before opening it.

“oh my god, Al!” she whispered “where did you get this? I thought it was lost in the fire”

“I um…I found it in with a few of moms things a while ago”

“why didn’t you tell me” she sniffled

“because I was keeping it for the day I got to give it to you as your something old”

“Are you sure Allie?”

“of course,” Allie wiped her sisters’ cheeks with her thumbs, she then took the locket from the box “lift your hair” she smiled as Kayliegh lifted her hair, she placed the locket around her neck gently clasping it shut.

“there…it looks beautiful”

“thank you so much Allie”

“no need! I love you kayliegh”

“I love you too Al”

About an hour later the rest of the bridesmaids joined them before the hairstylists and make-up artists turned up. Hana and Savanna were the first to get their hair done, followed by Olivia and Penelope, then Allie was next with Kayliegh going last. whilst two got their hair done another two got their makeup done.

It was five hours before the wedding, Penelope was getting get hair done with Hana, whilst Olivia and Allie got their Makeup done. the door gently rattled with a knock. Savanna headed for the door to see who it was, she opened the door then grinned. She returned to the sitting room with a tray in her arms containing a huge bouquet of Pink and Red roses. Along with a bottle of champagne with enough glasses for everyone and a small black box.

“alright! Now it’s a party!” Allie cheered as Savanna placed the tray down and started pouring everyone glasses of champagne. Kayliegh made her way to the counter where the tray had been placed, she lifted the large bouquet, bringing them to her nose to give them a sniff. As she went to put them down so she could go find a vase for them, she spotted the note card on the tray. She grinned as she lifted it, turning it over then she started to read.

My Dearest Kayliegh,

I was on my morning run when I came across the rose bushes, so here I present to you, my mornings work, one hundred beautiful roses for the most beautiful woman in the world.

In the black box you’ll find something new

I love you

All My Love, Your Liam x

She placed the card over her heart with a smile as she closed her eyes, thinking about the man she was going to marry.

“are you okay Kayliegh?” Hana asked from across the room.

“yeah” Kayliegh smiled as she turned to face them “I’ve never been greater”

She lifted the black box, opening it with a smile. Inside lay a silver diamond bracelet. It somehow matched perfectly with her dress.

When one o’clock hit there was only one hour left before the ceremony this gave them enough time to get dressed and get a couple of photos taken before they headed out. Kayliegh and the rest of the bridal party were on their way down to the boutique, once she had finished making her dress Kayliegh had it taken down to the boutique to be put away to avoid Liam seeing it. The girls all started dressing in their long blush pink dresses, when the lady handed Kayliegh the wedding dress, there was an envelope attached to the hanger. Kayliegh grinned knowing what it was, she hung her dress up then removed the envelope, taking the piece of folded paper out, she began to read.

My Dearest Kayliegh,

As I was dressing for our big day, all our memories together came flooding back to me. The day we met, when I was stood in the middle of your living room, I looked up to see the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life. I had to get to know you, I knew for a fact I would have regretted it if I didn’t. It won’t be long before I’m standing at the end of the aisle, watching the most beautiful woman walking towards me, to take my hand in marriage…and I can’t wait to say the words I do and finally have you as my wife.

Sitting beside the lamp to your left you’ll find a silver brooch attached to a piece of white ribbon, something borrowed, this is the same brooch my mother had around her bouquet when she married my father, I picked it out for you to use today, on our wedding day.

I love you with all my heart,

All my love, Your Liam x

“I’m gonna murder him” she whispered with a giggle as she tried to stop her eyes watering. After letting out a deep breath she slid the note into her small clutch bag she had brought down with her. she moved over to the side table where she spotted the brooch, she lifted it with a gasp, “it’s beautiful” she whispered. She put it in her bag then she carefully took her dress down from the hanger before climbing into it, pulling her arms through the sleeves then she called for Allie to help her fasten the back.

As Kayliegh turned around to face her sister once she had finished Allie gasped

“what? is there something wrong?” Kayliegh panicked

“no” Allie smiled “you look absolutely perfect”

“shut up” Kayliegh giggled as she pulled her sister into a hug.

“I love you Allie”

“I love you too” Allie held her sister as tight as she could

“come on…let’s get back out there!”

The two sisters headed out to the main part of the boutique to gather with the rest of the ladies. After they all got a couple of photos together, Allie turned to Kayliegh with a smile.

“it’s time…are you ready?”

“I’m more than ready” Kayliegh smiled as they all headed out towards the garden. Usually the royal family would have weddings in a huge cathedral or a church, but Liam had already done the big royal wedding once, this time I was hoping for a smaller affair. When he told Kayliegh, she had agreed that she too didn’t really want the big fancy wedding, she has done it once before. The two had discussed what type of wedding they wanted, when Kayliegh had suggested an outdoor wedding, he loved the idea! They had set up huge drapes at top of the aisle so that Liam wouldn’t see Kayliegh until she reached the other end of the aisle.

Before the bridal party started their journey down the aisle, Kayliegh was handed one last note. The last one before she seen him. she opened the envelope taking the piece of paper out.

My dearest Kayliegh.

As the time for us to meet grows closer, I grow happier and happier, I truly thought the day I asked you to marry me was the happiest day of my life, I never thought anything could bring me such happiness but when I awoke this morning I couldn’t take the smile off of my face, I am overflowing with emotion at just the thought of spending my life with you. The time has come for us to finally come together again and never part as my heart will forever be with you and yours with me. Up until the last breath of my life, I will love you unconditionally. I will protect you and keep you safe, no matter what it takes.

I have one final gift before I get the see you…and that’s something blue. If you look on the bottom of your right shoe…I think you might find it there.

I love you…

All my love, Your Liam

“Allie can you help me?”

“of course,”

“can you take my right shoe off?” she smirked

“off? Kayliegh your about to get married you can’t take your shoes off!”

“just for a second” she laughed

Allie carefully kneeled and helped her take her shoe off, then handed it to her. Kayliegh turned it over then giggled when she seen the writing on the bottom in permanent blue marker.

“I love you…Always - L”

Kayliegh sniffled as she fanned her face with the paper trying to stop the tears from falling, she handed the show back to Allie to help her get back on. Once she had composed herself, she handed the note to her sister who was carrying her clutch bag.

Each of the girls were handed their small bouquets of Roses, dahlias, stephanotis and hanging Amaranthus. Then Kayliegh was handed her bigger bouquet. She carefully wrapped the brooch she had taken from her bag around the stems.

“alright…let get this show on the road” Kayliegh smiled as she nodded to the harp player, who then began to play. Each bridesmaid walked down the aisle, first was Savanna, followed by Penelope then Hana after was Olivia then the last was Allie.

Once all the bridesmaids had gone, Kayliegh let out a deep breath. She stepped forwards then turned to face the alter before starting her decent down the aisle.

There at the end of the aisle was a huge arch covered in white flowers, along each side of the aisle lay a stream of white petals.

Liam never took his eyes off her, the second he seen her at the end of the aisle he was certain his heart skipped a beat. Once Kayliegh reached the alter, she handed her bouquet to Allie, then turned to give Liam her full attention. He took her hands in his, lifting one to place a kiss on the back of it.

“you look absolutely breath taking”

“thank you” she whispered with a grin

“shall we begin?” Leo asked. Liam had asked for him to officiate seeing as Regina done it the first time.

“yes” they both replied at the same time.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to join two souls as one. Today we bring together Liam and Kayliegh, as they proclaim their love and commitment to the world and to each other. We are gathered to rejoice, with and for them, in the new life they now undertake together.

Kayliegh and Liam, the relationship you enter today must be grounded in the strength of your love and the power of your faith in each other. To make your relationship succeed it will take unending love. It will take trust, to know in your hearts that you truly want what is best for one another and to learn and grow together. It will take faith, to go forward together without knowing what the future holds. If you both come freely, and understand the responsibility and work involved to make your relationship thrive and are committed to not only each other but your family, please take each other by the hands and reply 'we do.'”

“we do” they both replied, never taking their eyes off each other.

“you have both decided to recite your own vows, Liam, if you would go first…”

Liam gently squeezed Kayliegh’s hands then began to talk. “Kayliegh, today we make our vows to each other, we make a promise to love each other for the rest of our lives. we promise to trust each other and stand by each other. Every one of those I will do happily. It’s because of you, Kayliegh, that I laugh, smile and dare to dream again. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you, being there for you every day in every way. I vow to be true and faithful until my last breath. I stand here today to join my life to yours before these people. I vow to be faithful, respectful, and to grow old with you. Time may pass, good and bad will happen, but no matter what, I pledge that this love is my only love. I pledge to remain by your side, in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, through the good times and the bad. I vow to love you without reservation, comfort you, encourage you, laugh with you and cry with you, to grow with you in mind and spirit, to always be honest with you, and to cherish you as long as we are on this planet! I have completely and utterly fallen in love with you, everything you do, everything you say, everything you are. You’re my first thought in the morning, you’re my last thought before I fall asleep, and your almost every thought in between. I love you Kayliegh…Always”

Kayliegh sniffled as Liam wiped the tears that had fallen down her cheeks.

“Kayliegh” Leo gestured for her to speak.

“Liam, before I met you, I was alone, other than Allie, I had no one, I didn’t leave the house, I hardly spent time with anyone if I didn’t have to…but over the past year and a half, as ive gotten to know you, I’ve become a better person, I was falling deeper and deeper everyday but you managed to bring me back. you are the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I love you for not only what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out. Liam I vow to love you, and no matter what challenges might carry us apart, we will always find a way back to each other. The night of the UN part when I left…you ran after me…we had spent less than twenty four hours together but there you were, sitting on the floor outside my gates, refusing to leave until you knew I was okay, you talked with me all night, making sure I was going to be alright. That was the exact moment I knew I not only wanted you in my life…I needed you in my life. I won’t lie being so far away from each other for half of our relationship was hard, but the thing is distance means so little when someone means so much! Love isn’t always perfect. It isn’t a fairy-tale or a storybook, and it doesn’t always come easy. Love is overcoming obstacles, facing challenges, fighting to be together, holding on and never letting go. It is a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define and impossible to live without. Love is work, but most of all, love is realising that every hour, every minute and every second was worth it because we did it together. I love you Liam…Always”

Liam looked up as he blinked quickly trying to stop his tears from falling. Kayliegh giggled quietly as she wiped her cheeks.

“Liam, please repeat after me, Kayliegh, you are my best friend and everlasting companion.”

“Kayliegh, you are my best friend and everlasting companion.”

“You have brought me the truest happiness I have ever known. I take joy today in committing my life to yours.”

Liam repeated after Leo

“Now place the ring on Kaylieghs hand and repeat after me... with this ring, I promise to stand with you as we share this life and cherish the memories we make together.”

“with this ring, I promise to stand with you as we share this life and cherish the memories we make together.”

Liam carefully slid the Gold Band onto her ring finger, never taking his eyes off hers.

“Kayliegh, please repeat after me, Liam, you are my best friend and everlasting companion.”

“Liam, you are my best friend and everlasting companion.”

“You have brought me the truest happiness I have ever known. I take joy today in committing my life to yours.” Kayliegh repeated after him

“Now place the ring on Liam's hand and repeat after me... with this ring, I promise to stand with you as we share this life and cherish the memories we make together.”

“with this ring, I promise to stand with you as we share this life and cherish the memories we make together.”

Kayliegh slid Liam's band onto his ring finger, once she finished, Liam gently gave her hand a gentle squeeze.

“Liam, do you take Kayliegh as your lawfully wedded wife, your queen and your partner in life?”

“I do” he grinned like a Cheshire cat.

“Kayliegh, do you take Liam as your lawfully wedded husband, your king and your partner in life?”

“I do, always”

“Liam and Kayliegh, prior to this moment you each walked a separate path. Now, you embark together on a shared path. Yet the journey is not yours alone, your friends and family will embark on this journey beside you. It is the strength of your love that shall nourish you together as a family. Today you have stood before these witnesses and declared your intent to commit your lives to each other in marriage. You have made promises to each other and your family. Your road to this moment has not always been smooth, but you continued to fight for one another. I hope you will never forget the fight and perseverance it has taken to get to this moment. And I hope you will never forget the love and joy you feel today, because these are the values that will keep your marriage, family and bond to one another strong. And so, by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Liam, you may kiss your bride.”

Liam gently placed his hand on her cheek as he stepped closer, his head bowed as he moved down towards her lips. It was like their first kiss all over again. It was sweet and passionate. Kayliegh had never had such a perfect kiss. Her hands quickly found themselves on the back of his neck. With a grin on both of their faces, they slowly pulled back, leaning their foreheads against each other.

“I love you” Liam whispered

“I love you too”

"[W]ho is more stupid then Sansa Stark? I read book...one and only cruel in here is Sansa who lied, traitor, and defeat her whole family.”

Find it funny that the same people who go on about how stupid and awful Sansa was for going to Cersei about Ned planning to leave King’s Landing and thus “destroying her family” (because apparently this one mistake was the only mistake ever made by the Starks and is what caused everything bad that ever happened to them. This apparently caused Robb to jilt the Freys, Edmure to drop the ball at Stone Mill, Theon to sack Winterfell, freed Jaime Lannister, made Ned tell Cersei he knew about her children, killed Ned’s guards, killed Jon Arryn, convinced Joffrey to execute Ned instead of sending him to the Wall, made Balon Greyjoy decide to go to war, pushed Bran out the tower window, “destroyed the Stark armies”, killed all those Starks that are still alive... )

Are the same who never bring up that Daenerys took a woman whose home and people were destroyed by her husband, who was gangraped by her husband’s men, and thought “Yes, I must insist that she give my husband first aid.” Who needed the fact of “Your Khal and his men raped me a dozen times and killed everyone and everything I ever loved. NO SHIT I POISONED HIM AND CURSED YOU” SPELLED OUT FOR HER AFTER THE FACT. A decision which totally DOES NOT defy all logical sense, despite Daenerys having FAR more information available to her than Sansa ever had. A decision that TOTALLY DOES NOT involve her actively ignoring the atrocities surrounding her done IN HER NAME and getting her husband and child killed as a result. Nope, nothing stupid, self-destructive, or insensitive about THAT.

Are the same people who never bring up that Jon, without ANY EXPLANATION OF MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES OR PROPER CONSULTATION announced to his brothers that he was abandoning a mission Beyond the Wall and break his vows and expected them to follow him. EVEN THOUGH HE KNEW that tons of his brothers already considered him a traitor, a wildling-lover, and a political opportunist.

Who don’t bring up that Robb’s entire strategy towards taking down the Lannisters involved keeping them boxed in so Tywin couldn’t ride for King’s Landing and required Edmure to STAY IN POSITION and not, say, RUN OFF TO COUNTER AN ATTACK ELSEWHERE. Yet NEVER EVEN BOTHERED TELLING EDMURE THAT so he didn’t accidentally let Tywin through by running off to the Mill to protect some people in the Riverlands which is kind of LITERALLY HIS JOB. Or bring up that Robb was told repeatedly NOT to let Theon go to Pyke and did it anyways. Decisions that directly resulted in A) Tywin making it to Blackwater and securing the Tyrell alliance, leaving the Northern armies adrift in the Westerlands with NO RECOURSE and NO STRATEGY LEFT and b) Winterfell being sacked and Bran and Rickon being driven from their homes.

Who don’t bring up that Doran Martell decided to gaslight and evade his daughter for fucking DECADES, secretly plotting to marry her to a Targaryen Prince (because marrying a Targaryen WORKS OUT SO WELL FOR MARTELL WOMEN) without even telling her and instead pretended to consider marrying her off to WALDER FREY and was shocked, SHOCKED! When Arianne ended up deciding she was fucking DONE and plotting something that ended with Myrcella Lannister being maimed and his entire con with the Lannisters nearly being exposed, thus endangering his entire family. AGAIN. And SOMEHOW STILL THINKS PLAYING POLITICAL GRAB-ASS WITH PSEUDO-TARGARYENS IS A GOOD IDEA.

Who don’t bring up how Ned Stark decided that KEEPING HIS DAUGHTERS IN A CITY CONTROLLED BY THE LANNISTERS AFTER CERSEI ORDERED JAIME AND SANDOR TO HUNT DOWN ARYA, letting them wander the city and castle grounds without proper guards or supervision, and leaving Sansa, WHO HE BETROTHED TO A KID HE KNOWS TO BE A MONSTER AND STILL DOESN’T BOTHER EVEN SPEAKING WITH HER ABOUT in the care of a woman who passes out drunk at public events and literally NO ONE ELSE was a thing. But that wasn’t stupid or negligent or ultimately destructive to his family AT ALL!

Who don’t bring up that Tyrion enacted a plan at Blackwater that involved basically burning down a third of the city and didn’t bother putting any contingencies in place to protect the citizens who lived in said third of the city, then was baffled when people hated him and didn’t talk about how great he was for Blackwater. RIGHT TYRION, THE ONLY REASON THE NOW-HOMELESS BEGGAR WOMAN HATES YOU IS BECAUSE YOU’RE A DWARF. THAT IS LITERALLY THE ONLY REASON WHATSOEVER (an yes, I know it’s A reason. I know prejudice exists and Tyrion’s constantly dealing with that, but writing it off as the only reason would be like me saying that the reason I ever get criticized is because I’m a woman/Jewish.).

Or how Tywin, upon being presented with the PERFECT OPPORTUNITY to destroy the Starks’ political clout by merely pressing his suit against Catelyn Stark’s illegal abduction of Tyrion, CHOSE TO UNLEASH THE MOUNTAIN ON THE RIVERLANDS, MAKING HIM LIABLE FOR CRIMES AGAINST THE REALM. A supposed political mastermind, with all information available to him, with GRANDCHILDREN POISED TO INHERIT THE IRON THRONE, with extensive experience in intrigue and law, had the perfect opportunity to sue THE FUCK out of the Starks and completely disenfranchise them politically on COMPLETELY LEGAL GROUNDS at the cost of no more than a ride to King’s Landing and some parchment and ink, instead chose to commit war crimes that accomplished nothing except to a) make everyone in Westeros ready to skewer the Lannisters b) give Ned Stark the perfect opportunity to haul his ass up on charges of mass murder and treason and c) Draw attention to your family’s more illicit actions on a national scale. Or how he disinherited both of his sons and chose to antagonize the son who has proven disturbingly competent to the point of patricide. Or how he wanted his son to endanger the “Key to the North’s” health, reproductive and otherwise by raping/impregnating her at thirteen, thus nearly guaranteeing that their Winterfell meal ticket (and any child she would almost certainly prematurely deliver) would go up in smoke immediately with the deaths of their Stark prizes instead of say, WAITING A COUPLE YEARS WHICH EVEN THE MAESTERS OF THE CITADEL INSIST MUST HAPPEN IN ORDER TO PROCURE VIABLE HEIRS. WHICH WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE SANSA MARRIAGE IN THE FIRST PLACE. TYWIN IS A POLITICAL GENIUS WHO TOTALLY BOLSTERED HIS FAMILY!

Or how Littlefinger has literally delivered Robert Arryn RIGHT into the hands of his political rivals without any army or viable property of his own, and in fact ALSO leaves his other major prize (Sansa) alone with the very rivals he himself admits are pretty savvy, for long stretches. Not at all stupid.

And of course, none of the decisions mentioned here might be why the Starks got so thoroughly fucked in the ear. No, it was STUPID, EVIL, ELEVEN YEAR OLD SANSA’S ONE MISTAKE IN GIVING CERSEI INFO WHICH SHE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN FROM HER SPIES FIVE MINUTES LATER THAT IS WHAT “DESTROYED THE STARKS” (Even though five out of the eight of them are still around, barring Benjen’s ambiguous mortal state) and that was it. That’s what caused it all. Because that decision is literally what caused everything bad that happened to the Starks before and after she actually did the thing. Nobody else made any stupid, self-destructive, devastating errors of judgment that contributed to anything bad to themselves and/or House Stark. She’s the only one who made a mistake and it is THE DECIDING MISTAKE THAT WAS BOTH SIMULTANEOUSLY STUPID BUT SOMEHOW ALSO DELIBERATELY CRUEL AND TREASONOUS TO HER FAMILY AND CAUSED ALL OF THEIR PROBLEMS. That she made chiefly because SHE IS TOTALLY THE BIGGEST IDIOT YOU GUYS, in contrast to characters who made destructive choices despite having far more information, means, and experience to make better choices but didn’t. Because it’s an eleven-year-old, gaslighted, traumatized child who is most accountable for everything, ever. Everyone else’s decisions were somehow smarter and more honorable because... They knew better? Or, at the very least, had every possible means to know better and blatantly ignored basic logic? And that makes them smarter than the stupid eleven year old?

Tywin Lannister: political mastermind.... who turned a golden political opportunity into a treason charge and mortal danger.

Ned Stark: Too honorable and good... Who left his daughters unsupervised, uninformed, and unguarded in a dangerous court/city run by the very people who he a) is investigating for murder and treason and b) ALREADY TRIED TO HUNT DOWN AND MAIM ONE OF KIDS and c) (as he discovers about halfway through) ATTEMPTED TO MURDER AND SUCCEEDED IN CRIPPLING ANOTHER OF HIS KIDS.

Daenerys Targaryen: Awesome badass liberator... who saw a woman whose life was destroyed and met mid-gangrape by her husband’s people and thought, “This woman should totally be trusted to put poultices on my husband’s wound. After all, I did stop those guys after the thirteenth rape. WHAT COULD GO WRONG?!”

Jon Snow: Perfect, brave, hero classic... Who practically shunned the company of his brothers once he took command, KNEW that many of them already thought he deserved an execution, and decided to announce his blatantly oath-breaking new mission without any sort of preamble or explanation.

Robb Stark: Tactical Genius and hero.... Doesn’t bother communicating his strategy to his own commanders.

Tyrion Lannister: SUPER GENIUS WONDERFUL HUMAN! ... Who can’t understand that people whose houses he burned down might have some valid complaints.

WHO IS MORE STUPID THAN SANSA STARK SHE DEFEAT HER WHOLE FAMILY.

“Otto West: Apes don't read philosophy.

Wanda: Yes they do, Otto. They just don't understand it. Now let me correct you on a couple of things, OK? Aristotle was not Belgian. The central message of Buddhism is not "Every man for himself." And the London Underground is not a political movement.”

--- A Fish Called Wanda, 1988, directors Charlie Chrichton and John Cleese

CS FF: Second Chances

Summary: Killian comes clean to Emma and David. He then gets a second chance at proposing to Emma the right way.

Rating: G

Note: So I was less than pleased with the way that proposal went down. I’m hoping they right their wrong in the next couple of episodes. But, until then, this is how I would like for it to go. Hope you enjoy it! ~Steph

...Second Chances: Part 1/1...

Emma woke up with a smile on her face. Her eyes slowly fluttered open and landed on her engagement ring, the sun making the diamond sparkle. She turned over, anxious to welcome her fiancé to a new day. To the beginning of their lives together. The smile slid from Emma's lips as her gaze landed on his empty spot beside her. She ran her hand along the imprint of his form, finding it cold.

Emma got out of bed and made her way downstairs. She found Killian sitting at the kitchen table. The smile reappeared on her lips as she came up behind him, wrapping her arms around him and settling her chin on his shoulder.

"I was hoping to wake up next to my new fiancé today," she said, kissing his neck.

Killian squeezed his eyes closed.

"Apologies, love. I had difficulty sleeping."

"I have trouble sleeping when I’m excited too."

Emma sat down next to him and his eyes moved to her engagement ring. He had been so excited to give it to her, but it wasn't supposed to happen like it did. He didn't want to begin their life together with this terrible secret between them. He knew he could very well lose her for good, but it was a risk he knew he had to take.

Killian swallowed roughly as he met her eyes.

"Emma, there's something I need to tell you," he said.

This time, Emma didn't miss the conflicted and upset look in his eyes. She took his hand in hers.

"Whatever it is, just tell me. We'll get through it together, like we always do."

His tongue lashed at his lips. "I-

Just then, Emma's cell phone rang. She picked it up off the table, sighing heavily. "Sorry, it's my dad."

Killian blew out a breath as she answered the phone.

"Hi, Dad. What's going on?" Emma let out a groan as she listened to her father. "Okay, I'll be right there."

She hung up the phone and met Killian's eyes.

"Everything okay, love?"

"The Evil Queen is back."

"Well, that certainly can't be good."

Emma shook her head. "Nope." She paused, eyeing him. "I'm sorry, but I really have to get down to the station. Can we talk about this tonight?"

Killian nodded, simultaneously relieved for the reprieve and terrified that he wouldn't gain the courage he needed to tell her a third time.

"Of course, love," he said.

"Great," she replied, placing a kiss on his lips. She pulled back and met his eyes, as she squeezed his hand. "And Killian? Don't worry. There's nothing you could ever say to me that would make me not want to marry you or love you any less."

Killian managed a weak smile, but no response, as she released his hand and headed to the stairs. He could only hope that was true.

...

It was dark by the time Emma returned home. Normally, Killian would have gone to the station to help Emma and David, but he couldn't bear to face them. He heard the front door open as he sat on the couch in the dark.

"Killian?" Emma called, as she flipped on the lights and entered the living room. "Why are you sitting here in the dark?"

Killian stood up and came to face her.

"We need to finish our conversation from this morning, Emma."

She nodded. "Okay."

Killian sucked in a deep breath, half-hoping he would be interrupted again and given another temporary reprieve.

"Do you recall the other day when you and Henry went canoeing and you wanted to go in the shed?"

Emma bobbed her head. "And I said I could tell you were lying to me."

"Aye. I was, but it wasn’t about seeing Archie. Your father was in the shed, gathering the potions Regina gave you."

Emma's brow furrowed. "Why would he want those? Is he trying to find a spell to wake my mother on his own?"

Killian shook his head. "No, he was trying to determine where his father was prior to his death."

"His father?"

"Aye, the Evil Queen told him that his death was not an accident, so he wanted to learn who killed his father," Killian said, his voice weakening with every word.

"Why didn't he just tell me? I could've helped him."

Killian shook his head. "David wasn't thinking straight. He hadn't slept in days and was missing your mother terribly. He became consumed with seeking vengeance and knew you wouldn't approve."

Emma crossed her arms over her chest. "But you would."

Killian nodded his head. "That is precisely what he was hoping, but I know what seeking revenge can do and I didn't want him going down that dark path. I tried to stop him."

A smile pulled at Emma's lips. "Of course you did. You're not that man anymore."

Killian dropped his gaze to the ground. "He discovered that King George had ordered his father to be killed so he went to the jail to confront him."

"Oh no," Emma said.

"He had lost all control, Emma. He was holding a knife to his throat when I arrived there."

"Please tell me you stopped him."

Killian nodded. "Aye, that I did. He wasn't thinking clearly and, in the end, I helped him realize that he would be making a terrible mistake."

Emma sighed in relief. "Thank you. I wish you hadn't lied to me and told me what was going on, but I understand why you didn't. You didn't have to be so worried about telling me."

She placed a kiss on his lips and started to turn away, when Killian caught her hand and turned her back to face him.

"Love, I'm afraid that wasn't what I was worried about telling you."

Emma felt a lump form in her throat at the look in his eyes.

"Okay, then what was it?"

Killian swallowed roughly. "August brought me some pages from the storybook that had been removed to give to David. They were about his father. And when I saw the picture of his father, I...."

Killian's voice trailed off, as Emma's brow furrowed. "You what?"

He took another deep breath as he forced himself to meet her eyes. "I knew I had seen him before."

"Killian," Emma said, her voice now trembling, the look in his eyes scaring her.

He forced himself to continue. "Emma, I found him with King George's men. They were about to kill him when I killed them first. He thought I was saving him, but I soon made it clear I was not. He begged for his life, but it fell on deaf ears." He paused and added softly. "I killed your grandfather, Emma."

Emma gasped and took a step back. "What? I...I can't believe this."

Killian saw the pain appear in her eyes and hated himself for putting it there. "I am so sorry, Swan. You must believe I hadn't any idea who he was. I hadn't a clue that I was the one responsible until I saw his picture."

"I do believe that," she said softly. "Why did you tell me? You could've kept this to yourself."

"I wanted to tell you, Emma. It was eating at me and I didn't want to start our life together with a secret between us. But I was worried that you wouldn't want to marry me once you found out and that your father wouldn't want me marrying his daughter."

Emma slowly nodded. "Last night. That's what you were trying to tell me. It wasn't about the proposal."

"Aye. You put me on the spot. You were so excited and I couldn’t bear to hurt you. So I lost my nerve and felt as if I had to propose instead."

Killian looked into her eyes, so conflicted with emotion.

He swallowed hard, as his mouth went dry. "I...understand if you no longer want to marry me. I understand if you want nothing more to do with me."

Emma's mouth hung open for a long moment. She had woken up that morning so happy and had been on cloud nine all day long. She never expected the day to end like this.

Killian waited for her to say something, anything, but no words came. He dropped his head and turned on his heel. Without another word, he headed to the front door and stepped outside. He realized it had begun to snow as he walked onto the porch and down the stairs. The flakes clung to his hair as he heard footsteps behind him.

"Killian, where are you going?"

He turned to face her. "I'll spend the night on my ship. I will return in the morning to retrieve my belongings."

He turned around again, but Emma caught his arm and turned him to face her.

"This is your home," she said firmly.

"Emma, I don't expect you to allow me to remain out of obligation."

"I'm not. I love you, Killian. And the fact that you wanted to come clean when you didn't have to, when you knew what it could cost you, means everything. It proves how much you've changed."

He shook his head. "I don't deserve you, Emma. No matter how many people I save, how hard I try to be a hero, how much good I do, I can't change my past. I can't make up for the terrible misdeeds I’ve committed and the pain I’ve caused so many, the pain I caused your father. You deserve so much better."

Emma took his hand in hers. "You can't live in the past, Killian. The man who killed my grandfather is not the man I fell in love with, he is not the man standing before me right now. That man was greedy and selfish and did not value human life. That’s not who you are anymore."

"But it doesn't change what I did."

Emma shook her head. "No, it doesn’t. Nothing can. But I made you a promise a long time ago to always see the best in you and that will never change."

Killian shook his head in amazement. "I am in awe of you, Emma Swan."

Emma looked down at her ring and slowly pulled it off. She placed it in Killian's hand, as he swallowed roughly.

"But you can't marry me, can you?" he said softly. "I understand, love."

Emma tilted her head. "I don't think you do. I don't want to start our life together like this. I want you to propose when the time is right and the way you planned. When we can both look back on that moment with happiness, not regret and guilt."

Killian's eyes widened. "You mean you still want to marry me?"

Emma smiled gently. "With all my heart."

"But how can you ever look at me the same way again, Swan?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

"You once told me that all sins can be forgiven if someone loves you. Well, I love you, Killian. And nothing will ever change that."

"Perhaps I was wrong. Perhaps there are some sins that are unforgivable, Emma."

"I don't believe that."

"Your father may feel differently when I tell him the truth."

Emma slipped her hand in his and squeezed. "You won't have to do it alone."

Killian offered her a grateful smile. "Thank you, love.”

Emma met his eyes. “Come on, let’s go back inside.”

Hands linked together, they made their way back inside their home.

…

The next morning, Emma and Killian stood outside the loft. Emma offered Killian a comforting smile and squeeze of his hand.

“It’s going to be okay,” she said.

Killian managed a nod, as Emma knocked on the door.

A moment later, her father answered the door. “Hey, I wasn’t expecting you guys. What’s going on?”

Emma and Killian walked inside as David closed the door behind them.

“Dad, we have something to tell you.”

A smile spread across his lips and he slapped Killian on the back. “You did it, huh? I guess congratulations are in order.”

Killian’s gaze dropped to the floor, as Emma shook her head.

David’s eyes moved to her hand. “Where’s the ring?”

“Dad, why don’t we sit down at the table?”

David winced at Killian. “Oh, I’m sorry. She said no, didn’t she?” He turned to Emma. “You turned him down?”

Emma sighed. “No, I didn’t. Dad, this is not about our engagement. Killian has something he needs to tell you and it’s not going to be easy to hear. Please, let’s sit down.”

David’s features immediately became etched with worry as they all sat down at the table.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

Killian looked at Emma, his tongue slowly lashing at his lips.

“It’s okay,” she whispered.

Killian swallowed hard and sucked in a breath. He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out the pages from the storybook. He placed them in front of David on the table.

“The other night, August came by and gave me these pictures from the storybook. They are of your father. He thought you might want to have them.”

David glanced at Emma, worried about what she would think of him if she learned what he had nearly done.

Killian shook his head. “It’s okay, mate. I told Emma everything. She understands that you were going through a difficult time and weren’t acting yourself.”

David nodded as he looked at Emma. “I have Hook to thank for stopping me from making a terrible mistake.”

Killian averted his gaze again and Emma reached over, linking her fingers with his. “Go ahead, Killian. Tell him.”

David’s brow furrowed. “Tell me what?”

Killian felt his throat go dry. He licked at his lips nervously. “When I looked at the picture of your father, I recognized him. I knew I had seen him before.”

“When?” David asked.

Killian’s voice emerged softly. “The night he was killed.”

David shook his head in confusion. “I don’t understand. You were there?”

“Aye. I came upon King George’s men about to kill him, but I killed them first.”

David’s eyes widened. “You saved my father? Are you telling me he’s still alive out there somewhere? Was it all a mistake?”

“Dad, just listen, please,” Emma said, as Killian shook his head, the guilt and remorse swimming in his eyes.

He took another deep breath, as his lungs began to burn. “I could have saved him, but I didn’t. He begged me for his life. He begged me to spare him so he could be with his son, but I showed him no mercy.” Killian paused and then said, “I killed your father, David.”

David shook his head violently. “No, that’s impossible. There must be some kind of mistake.”

“I’m afraid there isn’t. I promise you I had no idea who he was until I saw that picture, but I am responsible for your father’s death. I am so sorry.”

David stood up so abruptly that his chair came crashing down behind him. His eyes flared. “You killed my father! You had the chance to save him, to allow him to be with his family, and you killed him instead!”

Killian slowly nodded. “There is nothing I can say to change what I did. The man I was back then cared about no one. I had lost everyone I loved, lost my family, and I think perhaps I wanted to make others suffer the way I had. I was a broken man, a terrible excuse for a human being. I am so sorry for what I stole from you. I don’t expect your forgiveness. I know I don’t deserve it. But I wanted you to know the truth.”

David turned to Emma. “He told you the truth?”

Emma nodded. “Yes, he was about to when I told him I had found the ring and I cornered him into proposing. But he came clean last night. Dad, Killian knows what he did was wrong and he feels terrible remorse. But he didn’t have to tell me. He didn’t have to tell you. He could have kept it a secret, knowing what the truth could cost him, but he didn’t.”

David planted his hands on his hips and replied bitterly, “Am I supposed to be grateful to him?”

Emma shook her head, as she felt Killian’s eyes on her. “No, of course not. I just mean that it proves how much he has changed. He can’t change his past, but he is not that man anymore. He has proven that time and again. He is the man that stopped you from making a mistake you would always regret. He is the man that made you see vengeance is never the answer.”

David dropped his eyes to the ground. “It doesn’t change what he took from me.”

Killian swallowed roughly. “You’re right, it doesn’t. Nothing can. I’ll understand if you never want to lay eyes on me again. I’ll understand if you no longer give your blessing for me to marry your daughter.”

David ran his hand through his hair, as he looked down at Emma. “I really wish your mother was here right now.”

“You know what she would say, don’t you?” Emma asked.

David nodded, his voice emerging softly. “That everyone deserves a second chance.” He took a deep breath. “I suppose if your mother can find a way to forgive Regina and become her friend after everything she did to her, then I can find a way to get past this. But it’s going to take some time.”

Emma smiled, as she looked at Killian. “Thank you, Dad.”

“Aye, thank you.”

David met Emma’s eyes. “You still want to marry him, don’t you?”

Emma bobbed her head. “I do.”

“And you’re sure?”

Emma’s smile widened. “I’ve never been so sure of anything in my entire life.”

Killian squeezed her hand in his, as he managed a small smile.

David blew out a breath, as he leaned down and pressed a kiss to Emma’s forehead. “Then I won’t stand in your way. All I want is for you to be happy, Emma.”

“Thank you, Dad,” she replied.

She and Killian stood up, hands remaining entwined, as they exited the loft.

…

Weeks later, Emma cuddled up next to Killian on the couch, the bowl of popcorn with Milk Duds resting between them.

“What is this movie again, love?”

“The Goonies. You’re going to love it. It has a treasure hunt and a ship and bad guys and danger.”

“Sounds perfect,” he said, kissing her temple as she pressed play on the remote.

Killian’s eyes kept drifting over to Emma’s face as she watched the movie and chomped on the popcorn and Milk Duds. It was 45 minutes in and he hadn’t been able to concentrate on it at all. He hadn’t a clue what was happening. His gaze moved to Emma again and this time she caught his eye, her mouth full of popcorn. Her brow furrowed, as she managed a smile.

“What?” she mumbled.

“Nothing, Swan. I just have a hard time tearing my eyes away from you.”

Emma swallowed and leaned forward, pressing a kiss to his lips, before dropping her head onto his shoulder and digging back into the popcorn. Killian peered into the half empty bowl. Emma’s hand was rummaging in search of a Milk Dud when her fingers touched something decidedly not candy or popcorn. Her eyes widened as she lifted her head from Killian’s shoulder and then pulled the object out of the bowl and held it up. It was her engagement ring. Emma’s mouth dropped open as she turned to look at Killian. She hadn’t noticed that he had dropped to one knee in front of her.

“Killian,” she breathed.

He pulled the ring from her fingers and wiped it on his jeans to rid it of any butter. He then held it back up to her.

“Emma Swan, you are undoubtedly the best thing to ever happen to me. You made me see that I could change, that I could be a better man. You made me believe in second chances. And that’s what this is right now. A second chance to do this the right way, the way you deserve. No secrets, no lies, just you and me, love. You are the strongest, bravest, most caring, beautiful woman I have ever met. I know I don’t deserve you, but if you’ll give me the chance, I will make it my duty to spend everyday of our lives together trying to prove myself worthy of you. I want a future with you, Emma. I want a family with you. I love you with all of my heart and soul. Emma Swan, will you do me the great honor of marrying me?”

Emma nodded so hard Killian thought she might injure herself.

“Yes! I’ll marry you, Killian!”

A smile spread across his lips as she held her trembling hand out to him and he slid the ring onto her finger. Emma grabbed him by the collar and hauled him up to her, his lips crashing into hers. The bowl of popcorn landed on the floor, spilling its contents, but neither of them noticed.

Emma pulled back, her forehead resting on his. “I love you so much, Killian. I can’t wait to become your wife.”

Killian cupped her cheek in his hand. “Neither can I. Thank the gods above for second chances.”

Emma laughed and then kissed him again.

HMB: Rosemary’s Baby Mini Series

Original Publishing Date: August 21st, 2015

Rosemary's Baby is my favorite horror movie of all time. Sure it has some note worthy problems, but the suspense, film making, music, acting, story and characters are just amazing. But like every great horror movie, people think it needs to be remade. It won't be long until every great horror movie has a shitty remake. Sure, some remakes are fantastic like the Fly and the Thing, but those are movies made by people who loved the original and wanted to add to it. Rosemary's Baby has problems, so I welcome the idea of someone remaking it, but sadly those types of remakes rarely happen. Remakes are only made for one purpose and one alone, to bank on the original. You see, audiences are stupid, and can't watch movies unless they take place in modern day, so they can't watch any movies from the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and now 90's. So any movie from those decades needs to be remade so that they can take place in modern day. But not only that, but they need to take away any creative direction and writing that was in these movies because like I said, audiences are dumb, and good writing and directing could hurt their brains. Bland visuals and bland writing is completely acceptable. Also, when you're remaking a horror movie, you need to make sure to put in as much blood and gore as possible, even if the movie doesn't need it, if you want it to be a horror movie in the 2000's and 2010's, it needs to have blood in it. You don't want any insecure adults to think they are watching a baby movie. Like the majestic fart joke, people clap when they see blood, so make sure to put that above everything else. But the most important thing to put into a horror movie is sex appeal. Because let's face it, no one likes horror movies, they just want to see tits. I mean, that's what porn is for, but people are dumb and want soft core porn in movies that don't need it. And there you have it, blood, sex, blandness and cash grabbing; those are the four ingredients to make shitty horror movie remakes. And yes, sometimes those elements work, but most of the time its just to market to movie goers who just want at least one of those things. And just like all horror movie, Rosemary's Baby got a remake, which suffers the same fate. The story of Rosemary's Baby is about Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse who move into an apartment. The apartment has a shady past, which troubles Rosemary. They meet the Castevets, Roman and Minnie. They are you're typical old couple, they bicker, they chat too much, and come off as annoying, but also charming. Over the coarse of the movie, Rosemary tries to get pregnant, and succeeds, but it would appear unknown forces want her baby. Now I'm going to have to spoil some stuff, so please watch the original Rosemary's Baby, its a horror classic that's creepy, suspenseful and scary. Okay, so here's the deal with Rosemary's Baby. Rosemary does get pregnant, but not with Guy. Turns out Guy sold her to the devil. There's an entire dream sequence that pretty much spells this out. I mean, you could say it was a hallucination, but given that this is a horror movie, its kind of obvious its the devil raping her. This is the main problem I was talking about. While the original was creepy and suspenseful, there are moments when they try to hint at stuff but ends up making things even more obvious. That's why I want this movie to be remade, so someone can fix these mistakes and make the movie perfect. But no... In fact the problems in the original got worse in the remake. In the remake, a whole lot of shit is different. First off, in the original, the setting was New York City, in this one, its Paris. I guess to match with the love theme of the story. I my opinion it doesn't matter. Honestly some of the changes don't bother me that much. Hutch being changed into a woman named Julie was a good choice, I mean it was weird that Rosemary's closest friend was an elderly man. The best change in the remake was the devil himself. In the original he had red eyes, rock like skin, and large claws, and although we didn't see most of him, you can tell it was him. But in this one he's just a regular looking man. This keeps things more hidden and could potential work. But then there are changes that I don't like. Minnie and Roman are not elderly in this version, they are at most late 50's. This gives them more sex appeal, which you don't fucking need in this story. It's a story about rape, nothing about it is suppose to be sexy. And by changing them to such a young age you're taking away a bit of the creepiness of it. Roman and Minnie were your typical grandparents, which was what made it so shocking when you realized they were the master minds behind this large, evil coven of Satanists. It also erases a theme the original had of young vs. old. The apartment was filled with old people who constantly annoyed and butted into Rosemary's life. Rosemary took comfort in her younger friends. In this, Rosemary has no other friends but Julie and the Castevets' friends are all young too. Also Minnie isn't called Minnie in this version, her name is Margo. Guess Minnie isn't a sexy name. So here's the thing, this isn't a movie. Its a mini series, and when I say mini series I mean two hour and a half long movies. The original was long, two hours and sixteen minutes long, but it kept your attention. This doesn't. And here's the reason why; because its a mini series, so they need to drag things out as long as possible, which means long periods of talking, unnecessary scenes and forced build up. This movie is boring. Very, very boring. Let me give you an example. In the original, Rosemary and Guy just move into the apartment and meet the Castevets that way. In this one, they have a miscarriage, then move to Paris, then move to a different apartment, then Rosemary gets robbed, gets Margo's purse, returns Margo's purse, gets invited to a party, their apartment catches on fire, Guy gets rushed to the hospital to treat his burns, Margo gives them her spare apartment, and Guy is all better the next scene. In the time it took them to get the apartment in the remake Rosemary was already being raped by the devil in the original. This is the problem with it being a "miniseries", it needs unnecessary build up to something they could have just started out with. But here's the thing, the worst crime this movie commits is that its not creepy. Say what you will about the original, but it was creepy. The cinematography, the sets, the music, the acting, the pacing, the build up, the suspense, it was all creepy. It knew just how much to show and how to do it. In the remake, there's none of that. The music is forgettable, the sets are bland and gray, the acting is okay, but not memorable, and the cinematography is flat and boring. This movie makes no attempt at being creepy. The "scary" moments are forced in to remind the audience they are watching something that should be scary. And the way they hint at what's going on is horrible. They do a piss poor job trying to hide the Satanists. The first few minutes is a cold opening where a woman with a cross tattoo committing suicide in the same apartment Rosemary and Guy are staying at. Oh jeez, I wonder why she did that? And look, Roman has a cane with a monster on it, I wonder what they are trying to say? And look, Margo is doing some mystical chanting to calm Rosemary down, I wonder how she learned that? I know the original didn't do a good job at hiding the truth either but the remake does an even more horrible job. And the ending, my God, what a punch to the face. The ending to Rosemary's Baby is one of the best finales of any film. It was all done in one shot, building up to the reveal of the baby, showing only Mia Farrow's expression as she sees her baby, resulting in one of the biggest freak outs in movie history. The acting, the suspense, the music, OH MY GOD! I love this scene! In the remake, shot to shot camera work, bland music, bland set, and they SHOW THE FUCKING BABY! Are you serious! Do you think the audience are a bunch of idiots? Do you think if you don't show the baby but instead her reaction we won't get that she was looking at her baby? Also, the baby looks normal. The idea is that we are picturing the baby in our heads. It could be anything, a charcoal skinned hell demon or a normal looking baby, its up to the viewer. This allows us a satisfying ending. But nope, the remake fucked on one of the best scenes in the movie. The acting is terrible, the build up was terrible, this whole movie was terrible. If you like it... No, you know what? Fuck you if you like this version. Go watch the original. Its a million times better. Shorter, creepier, and doesn't treat its audience like a bunch of idiots. This is one of the worst remakes I have ever seen. Boring, flat, bland, gray, underwelming piece of shit. That's all I have to say.
