HOMETOWN: New York

ZODIAC: libra

GENDER: male

PRONOUNS: he/they

SEXUALITY: click here

RELATIONSHIP STATUS: single

OCCUPATION: game designer

tw: drug abuse, death.

It was just the four of you wasn't it? Your twin sister, your mom, and your grandmother. Not once did it ever bother you that you lived in a household ran by women, you learned to adore their kindness, their patience, and the way, even if for a short while, it was a home overrun by laughter and love.

But nothing good truly lasts does it? As you grew up, you were always the more reserved twin, the one that had to be protected and your sister always would. she was sunshine and joy, rampant with energy and always the most adventurous of this sibling duo. I remember watching you admire that quality, wishing you could stand up for yourself, use your own voice, but you never did.

A father figure is something you never knew, he was never in the picture, you were the only man of the house as they say. All of that was fine, but in your teen years, your sister became a bit of a rebel, she hung out with the wrong crowd, partied a bit too hard, and that's when you began to notice a few things. How the loudest and brightest people, often times carried the biggest sadness in them.

Alcohol, drugs, and every extreme you saw her took made you even more worried, and no matter who was aware or how many people voiced concerns your twin...she wouldn't listen. It wasn't until one night you stayed up playing video games that you were alerted to a knocking on your door, and a man in uniform told you, your sister wasn't coming back. From something as seemingly harmless as a joint but it had been laced with something else, something stronger.

Your home felt the shock, and you saw your own mother dig herself into a hole. Slowly you saw her crumble before your very eyes, and the loving woman you knew became nothing more than a husk of her former self. And just like your sister, one night, she too was gone in an all too similar way.

Now it's just you and your grandmother, and I can see you still carry those scars deep within you. Maybe that's why you became a spokesperson for support groups, you want to see people get help so that they don't fall prey to the same thing your family did.

You followed your passions and got a degree I see, even landed a monumentally well paying job, and you take care of your aging grandmother, the only family you have left. It's sweet, but I know you feel lonely, will you ever wipe away that fake smile, who knows? Sweet boy.

Title: Buffer Time

Author: Cyrus

Artist: gabester-sketch

Rating: Teen

Pairings: Dean/Cas Sam/Eileen Past Chuck/Becky Sam and Gabriel (can be read as platonic or romantic, but not endgame)

Length: 32000

Warnings: Violence, Language, Slight Psychological Horror, Referenced Past Major Character Death (neither Dean nor Cas die though), Implied/Referenced Minor Character Death, Some Sexual Humor (no smut though)

Tags: Finale Fix-it/Canon Divergence, Fluff and Angst, Humor, Mystery, Case Fic (kinda), Bickering, Some Misundersanding

Posting Date: October 14, 2021

Summary: When Dean wakes up in his town's jailcell with a disoriented Cas, he happily roles with it. Sure, he knows he'll be the laughing stoke of the town for a few days -- what deputy locks himself in his own jailhouse? -- but as long as Cas is there, things are fine. Until he realizes his memory is unusually fuzzy. Until Cas starts acting strange and morose. Until he starts having brief flashes of Cas being taken from him by an inky black entity. Until Cas starts talking about plot holes and tropes. Until he wakes up by a fire in the woods, on a quests to fight a dragon --no wait, in an ambulance, late for his shift as a surgeon-- no wait- Dean's just trying to figure out why he and Cas keep waking up in different genres and why Cas seems so distant, while Sam works with Eileen, Gabriel, and a few others to do the same on the other side of a laptop. (WandaVision inspired finale fix-it)

Excerpt: Turning to Cas, he quips, “So we’ve been playing cowboys and angels this entire time?” Cas ignores him. Dean grits his teeth, patience at this mind-screw of a day wearing thinner and thinner by the minute. “We missed you, Cas,” Metatron says. “Shame you had to turn face and-” “Turning face ain’t even western slang,” Dean mutters. Cas shoots him an exasperated look that tells him the angel’s patience was also thinning a bit. “Tired of the plot already?” Cas asks. They both ignore the outlaws, who are now muttering among themselves about “disrespecting their criminal presence” or something. “The plot- you mean how you’re apparently the fourth ranger here?” Cas throws his hands in the air and snaps, “You complain about the language not being historically accurate and yet you make references to franchises completely unrelated to the western genre?” A thoughtful look crosses Cas’s face as he turns away, muttering, “That is a very Dean Winchester thing to do, I suppose.” “What does that mean?!” They hear someone clear their throat loudly. “If you gentlemen don’t mind…,” Metatron, apparently the spokesperson of the trio, is tapping his foot impatiently. Dean wishes his mind was unscrambled enough to know whether he should be happy or disappointed that the role didn’t fall to Crowley, who’s looking equally annoyed with them. Lucifer has, apparently, wandered off while Dean and Cas were talking. Dean doesn’t need his memories intact to get the feeling this was a very Lucifer thing to do. Cas waves a hand at the two remaining outlaws to continue with their apparent revenge filled monologue. Metatron opens his mouth to continue, but before the words leave his mouth, screaming cuts through the morning air. Dean startles, and his eyes widen when he sees the sky is being overtaken with black smoke. The sight of it, warping and growing in the air, is enough to make him feel suffocated. “Bleeding hell,” he hears Crowley say, and the next minute a bullet is flying by his face.

First Broadcast: 29th November 1998

Angelina Johnson: Hello wizarding world. My name is Red-Hot, and you are welcome to this very special ladies night edition of Potterwatch. I am joined today by my lovely co-host, Ridgeback.

Alicia Spinnet: Pleasure to be here Red-Hot.

Angelina: We’re hosting today because River and Rapier are appearing before the Wizengamot today for breaching the international statute of secrecy, among 361 other charges.

Alicia: That’s right Red-Hot. Which brings us on to today’s news. Beloved joke manufacturer George Weasley, and noted entertainer and Griffyndor quidditch team fan Lee Jordan, are currently appearing before the highest court in the land for a variety of crimes.

Angelina: Weasley alleges that his ‘pocket chimera’ product, a miniaturised chimera toy, is not in fact dangerous.

Alicia: This comes after the charms on the product malfunctioned, and no fewer than 12 chimeras grew to gigantic size and terrorised muggles across the country, including members of the royal family.

Angelina: Although it is traditional for the Queen to be informed of the existence of magic, and in fact 2 of Queen Victoria’s daughters attended hogwarts (Hufflepuff 1859-1866 and Ravenclaw 1868-1875), it is unusual, although not unheard of, for a chimera to lay seige to Buckingham Palace.

Alicia: Yes, we all remember the time George III fought off the Chimera of Camden with nothing but a cheese sandwich and a sword allegedly created by Merlin.

Angelina: Weasley now faces hundreds of charges, several of which relate to his other products.

Alicia: Jordan faces several charges, after hijacking a BBC radio 3 broadcast to report on the event. He claims he was trying to warm muggles of the danger, but his repeated use of the phrase ‘this is the f*****g funniest thing I’ve ever seen begs to differ.

Angelina: Any other news Ridgeback?

Alicia: Indeed Red-Hot. Molly Weasley, noted knitter, has been awarded an order of Merlin, 2nd class, for her role in keeping Harry Potter alive and well nourished, and thus indirectly saving the wizarding world. This is on top of the Order of Godric she recieved.

Angelina: The order of Godric dear listeners, is the new honour created by minister Shacklebolt for those Griffindors who fought you know who during either wizarding wars. Counterparts for each of the houses have also been released.

Alicia: A well deserved honour for Mrs Weasley. And finally, the WDSS, or Wizards of Differing Sexualites Society, which offers support for LGBTQ+ members of the wizarding world, has revealed that its founders, kept anonymous for many years, were none other than Albus Dumbledore and Sirius Black.

Angelina: I didn’t know Sirius Black was gay?

Alicia: He wasn’t, but according to the WDSS spokesperson, Sarah Cohen-Musa, Mr Black’s personal papers regarding the founding stated that he helped create the group ‘because his mother was an ardent homophobe and it would annoy her. Also everybody, regardless of gender, orientation, race or blood status should be treated equally. Except Severus Snape’. Albus Dumbledore wished to remain anonymous because he didn’t want the organisation to be damaged by association with him.

Angelina: Fasinating stuff Ridgeback. And now, we are joined by a very special guest, arguably the one of the greatest witches of the 20th Century, Rothesay.

Professor McGonnagal: Good evening girls, lovely to be here.

Angelina: Now Rothesay, you have worked at Hogwarts for many years, and served as deputy during the tenure of Albus Dumbledore. What is the most memorable event during your tenure?

McGonnagal: The Weasley swamp was probably one of most amusing and imaginative uses of magic I have ever seen. There was also the time I caught James Potter and Sirius Black attempting to smuggle a baby Swedish Shortsnout into the Slytherin common room as a ‘gift’ for Severus Snape. The dragon got loose, and spend 8 weeks living in the Astronomy Tower, where it acquired a fairly sizeable horde of trinkets, aided by Peeves, unsurprisingly.

Alicia: Whatever happened to the dragon?

McGonnagal: Despite the objections of Hagrid, who wished to keep it as a pet, the dragon, referred to by James as ‘Remus Lupin Jr’ was eventually rehoused with the help of Newt Scamander to its native Sweden. It later returned to Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament.

Angelina: Is that true?

McGonnagal: yes, all four dragons had previously been to Hogwarts, as it helped them acclimatise. The Welsh Green was also a James Potter prank.

Alicia: Amazing Rothesay. You have been a teacher at Hogwarts a long time. Who, if anyone, was your favourite student?

McGonnagal: Obviously I have no favourites, although I am somewhat partial to Gryffindor students. A personal bias.

Angelina: ok then Rothesay, how about most frustrating students?

McGonnagal: James Potter, Sirius Black, George Weasley, Fred Weasley, Lee Jordan, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Oliver Wood.

(Background sound of Harry Potter swearing loudly)

Angelina: You said that very quickly Rothesay.

McGonnagal: Ladies, you don’t understand the frustration of Oliver Wood camping outside your office in a Puddlemere United tent for 13 days due to quidditch being cancelled.

Alicia: That sounds very on brand.

Angelina: Finally Rothesay, what is your proudest moment as a teacher?

McGonnagal: The day Harry Potter returned to Hogwarts during the reign of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Followed closely by beating Slytherin in Quidditch.

Angelina: Thank you Rothesay. Potterwatch will return soon, where the password will be Quidditch. Until then, I’ve been Red-Hot.

Alicia: and I’ve been Ridgeback. Thank you and goodnight.

Codex prompts: 5 for Alec?

A letter from the Left Hand of the Divine to King Alistair of Ferelden. 9:38 Dragon.

Dear Alistair,

How is life back in Ferelden? It has been a while since we last saw each other, but whenever I think of you and Mara and the kids, I get a rush of warmth in my heart. You have done so well for yourselves; it is a balm to sore souls. I hope this letter finds all of you in great spirits, despite the current events.

However, it is because of current events that I write. The conflicts between mages, templars and the Chantry are escalating, as you must know, and we are in dire need of someone of strong resolve to assist us. Alec came to mind. Some in the Chantry do not believe an elven mage to be quite the spokesperson they need, but I think it is about time we opened the doors of Chantry leadership to everyone, regardless of what their ears look like or what powers the Maker found fit to bestow upon them.

As a mage, I am sure that Alec would have more luck appeasing to the rebel mages than anyone else. Not to mention what I have seen him accomplish when we were all fighting together against the Blight. Alec turns plans into reality; he makes things happen. His assistance could prevent so many deaths. I have seen so many young mages left devoid of a house, of food, because of this conflict. So many have died on both sides. If he would champion a platform for peace, we might end this war, and we might bring real change to the Circles -- long overdue.

The problem is… I cannot seem to find him. I have sent an agent to Soldier’s Peak, but Sigrun, his Second-in-Command, informed them that Alec was out on confidential businesses. That he had been away for months I sent missives to Vigil’s Keep and Weisshaupt to no avail. He hasn’t been to either lately. That is why I turn to you, old friend. You are his family. Perhaps he has told Mara of his whereabouts, or sent a letter as of recently?

I would appreciate any information on where Alec might be. It could mean the end of this conflict, if we can just find him.

Please send Mara and the kids all of my love,

Best wishes,

Leliana.

And the reply:

A letter from King Alistair to the Left Hand of the Divine. 9:38 Dragon.

First of all, I am offended you did not mean me by “someone of strong resolve,” but I will let that slide. Unfortunately, I do not think I can help you on this one.

The last time Alec was here was some eight months ago, and he hasn’t sent any letters since. He stayed a while, but didn’t tell me or Mara where he was going next – I mean, he did, but even I am not that stupid to believe him, right? Getting him to tell you of his plans when he doesn’t want to share them is like trying to wring milk out of a feral bronto or something. I’d rather not, so I didn’t even try.

He did say something about a dwarven resort and hot springs? Sounded like just another one of his lies, but I admit I was actually tempted to check that out myself. You know, if it weren’t for mages breaking out of Circles and Templars going rogue and all of that lovely fun. Can you believe no one told me Kings didn’t have paid holidays when I signed up for this? Beats me why anyone would willingly want to be King – except maybe for the fact you don’t have to write your own letters.

Anyhow… About Alec. I’m sorry I can’t help. To be honest, however, I doubt he would be willing to play puppet for the Chantry in the current conflicts, but what do I know of that man? He’s weird.

You should stop by sometime. The kids loved the Orlesian toys you sent, and they sometimes ask about the auntie who plays music.

Something something, good luck, best wishes, you know the drill.

King Alistair of Ferelden

on the corner, in rustier handwriting and containing a few spelling errors: This scribe says he is honor-bound to write every single word I say. I know he’s having me on, but I can’t really fire him. He’s got a baby kid.

Whisperer in the Dark hype train

Time to jump on! I’m gonna be running with one of my theories, as usual, so either strap in, or geddouddathaway. I can’t really claim spoilers, but if you want to entertain a completely blank expectation, then don’t read below the fold. This is gonna be fun...

Where’d we leave off with Bound by Blood? I forget. Oh yeah; insane fundamentalist Charr running off to either kill or enslave an Elder Dragon no one has seen personally in decades. (I don’t believe Braham when he says he saw Jormag descend into a frozen lake way back during Istan or whatever. He probably thought some big ice-minion was Jormag. Boy’s only like, the equivalent of 19 after all. And Jormag probably puts out a icy-death field five times thicker than what we got in Bitterfrost Frontier, which required a heating potion just to stay alive... even for friggin’ Icebrood). I’m about 90% sure that Jormag is just gonna quickly and easily fold all those Charr into its minions, though if it’s learned anything, it’ll want to keep their minds from going numb and dumb, so they’ll be adequate slaves. It’ll just tweak them a bit, and send them back with new enemy directives. Bangar thinks he’s gonna be at the top of the heap, but if anything, Jormag doesn’t need someone like HIM. He’s gonna be kibbled right quick out of annoyance. I was thinking of all those whispers that were decoded around the Strangers in the normal maps. The hisses and multiple voices and all that. And some of the things they’d said, which ended up getting repeated as actual lines in Bound By Blood. Not everything was used though, so there’s still more of the lines to learn the meaning of. What interests me is that the BoneSkinner doesn’t seem to be a Jormag construct. It’s not the same aesthetic style. It’s not Icebrood/Mordrem hybrid or Icebrood/Risen hybrid either. It’s something NEW... or perhaps something very, very old. Here’s the real question; the Whisperer in the Dark that ‘wants to help’? If that IS Jormag... why does it want to help? I mean, the dragon could be outright lying, thinking the Commander is as dumb as all the power-hungry idiots that have sought it out over the years. But I don’t think that’s the case. I think Jormag has grown savvy. It’s sat back, way up north, and watched how things turned out. It watched the other Dragons as they died, and tasted a touch of their powers, for better or worse. It watched a God die, and the chaos that brought. It probably felt the detonation of the Bloodstone in Bloodstone Fen like a slap in the face. Most of all, it watched Kralkatorrik, and how he couldn’t handle the sheer amount of power he had consumed, and how it was killing him. Jormag is savvy. It doesn’t wish a similar death, now that the Balance is restored. It might still want to gorge on magic, but it now KNOWS that one Dragon can’t hold all that power. That’s a death sentence, whether by Pact Commander or being overloaded. It’s seen how Aurene doesn’t hold the magic, but lets it filter through her like light through a prism; possibly an act Jormag can’t pull off itself, but might be willing to learn. So... it wants to strike a bargain. A deal. It wants to learn, to be taught how NOT to just gorge until sated, but to Balance. And it needs to talk to the Commander to learn. Most of all, it needs a representative. ..... I don’t know if I should write this next part. I feel like I might be reading too deep, but it makes sense to me. It might not be true, but it would be appropriate if it was. ....... Taimi’s disease, and her pain, is increasing. She has an unknown amount of time left, but she herself might know keenly how long. She’s bright, young, strong-minded. As a representative...as a willing Champion partner, she would be not just an insurance policy against Pact aggression, but a symbol of a promise made. I think Jormag is going to offer Taimi the ‘blessing’ of Ice-Brood-ness; a promise of the end of pain, the end of aging, the ‘curing’ of her disease by directly halting its advancement by literally Freezing her... in exchange for her to become its spokesperson outside of the frozen realms. She would live for however long she wished, in that state. But she would be linked to Jormag. Much as the Pact Commander is Aurene’s Champion and partner, along with Caithe, Jormag wants a similar connection. No other strings. No corruption of the mind that most Icebrood suffer. No turning on allies. Just a promise to teach Jormag how to Balance magic so it need not consume as it used to, so it can stay where it is, instead of trying to advance its territory....and so it need not fear reprisal from the Pact or any other forces. A favor for a Favor. And perhaps most tellingly, relating back to the BoneSkinner directly.... Jormag needs this partnership, because it is getting nervous. With the death of Elder Dragons, and the death of another human God and the retreat of the others, there is a power-vaccuum in the world. Something might be waking to take it. Something that has Jormag on edge, and wanting an allied way out. Something...old. Something that scares Elder Dragons. And the BoneSkinner is the first evidence that this new force or forces is starting to wake up.

Tell me more about Genevieve! She seems really interesting! How important of a character is she to the story? What is her relationship with Davy like?

Gen is pretty amazing. I made her initially because I just needed Davy to have someone to back him up after I gave him command of a ship, and then she grew from there.

Basically she grew up in a small seaside town called Maiden’s Port, in the province of Swansglen. Being from the seaside it was expected that one day she’d become a sailor, so she was basically training out on boats with her parents from the day she was born.

This was during the war, and so Maiden’s Port was a key spot for some of the runners who smuggled supplies to the army fighting in the North. It was small, out of the way, and not important enough to bring attention or to be worth attacking. So a lot of the supply boats stopped there. This is notable because Davy got his start as a smuggler for the army. He and his boat, the Sea Dragon, often made runs to Maiden’s Port. This was where Gen first met him, when she was only nine years old. He was sixteen and she thought he was just the coolest thing ever, a kid not much older than her but out on his own with his own boat and everything!

Davy had really no idea what to make of this, but he humored her. He even said he’d help her get a position on a cargo vessel when she got a bit older, if that was what she really wanted to do with her life. And it was. And so it was expected the remainder of her life to be, just practicing sailing with her parents, meeting skilled seafarers, and everything going well.

And then she turned thirteen. And that was when Jarvis and his forces decided to make a tactical strike against their enemies; sweeping the coast and demolishing any port towns that were loyal to the opposition. Maiden’s Port was one of the first to go. Gen survived, but was orphaned and homeless with not even the remains of her little town left to comfort her.

The war orphans were taken to the capital city of Swansglen but Gen decided she needed to get on a ship, as soon as possible and never look back. She didn’t want to be adopted, didn’t want new parents. She wanted to run. That was how Davy eventually found her, and even though she was still a child, he remembered that they’d been friends. What could he do? He took her with him and adopted her into Faith’s Pack, which was where his loyalties were at the time.

Eventually Davy split with the Pack and Gen was devastated to lose her closest friend after she’d already lost her family and her home. She’d never really bonded with the Pack, never really got along with Faith, but she loved Davy. She offered to go with him, and he agreed, a bit reluctantly. However, she ended up being an asset to him, and as his first official crew member and the person he’d known the longest, he eventually entrusted her to be his second in command once she was old enough. She’s twenty-seven at the time of the story.

In terms of importance, she’s Davy’s foil and also handles a lot of the stuff he can’t, or doesn’t. She’s known for being a bit more forward with her plans, as opposed to Davy’s cautious reluctance. She’s the tougher one of the two of them, stern and unafraid to speak her mind. She isn’t aggressive or impulsive, just driven and steadfast. Also very protective of the crew. She’s also known to go on land where Davy avoids it at all costs, which means she’s often the spokesperson for the Sea Dragons while Davy stays on the ship and remains unseen. So in general, a pretty important character.

Her relationship with Davy is one of near-unquestioning loyalty. She would follow him to her death without a moment’s hesitation if she thought it proper, but if she thought he was making a truly bad decision, she’d tell him so. She’s disagreed with him on many accounts. When she started studying magic so she could better support him, for example, he was furious, as he saw magic as a curse and a corruption and couldn’t understand why she’d willingly put herself through that. Much as she loves him, his distance can sometimes frustrate her. He’s the most important person in her life and she wishes that were mutual, but he holds Faith in higher regard and always will. Gen has had to accept that, but not without difficulty. Davy also tends to be very avoidant and while Gen would willingly support him and can support him he chooses instead to withdraw, which she finds annoying. She still respects him as a leader, though.

(Also inb4 anyone thinks it’s a weird romantic thing; it’s not, Gen’s aroace, but as such her crew and her captain are the most important things in her life so y’know)

#my OCs #Genevieve #WOW this is long #I am sorry!#I like Gen and her backstory and it's my first time getting to mention her

Strictly Come Dancing's Aljaž Škorjanec Refutes Claims He Behaved 'Aggressively' Behind The Scenes

Strictly Come Dancing professional Aljaž Škorjanec has dismissed claims that he behaved in an “aggressive manner” behind the scenes of the show’s most recent series.

Earlier this week, it was announced that Aljaž would be stepping down from Strictly after nine years with the show.

A day later, The Sun published a story quoting a source who claimed the Slovenian performer had “verbally lashed out at various staff members behind the scenes” in an “unnecessarily aggressive manner”.

However, Aljaž has insisted these reports are untrue.

A spokesperson for the dancer told HuffPost UK: “Aljaž has the utmost respect for everyone working on the show and it is untrue to say he acted in an aggressive manner at any time.”

HuffPost UK has also contacted the BBC for additional comment.

Aljaž and his future wife Janette Manrara joined Strictly in 2013, where he was partnered with Abbey Clancy, who went on to win the whole show.

In the years since, Aljaž has performed with Alison Hammond, Gemma Atkinson, Kate Silverton, Clara Amfo and Dragon’s Den star Sara Davies, who was his partner on what would ultimately be his final season of Strictly.

Announcing his exit earlier this week, the 32-year-old said: “A little while ago I made the tough decision that Strictly 2021 would be my last. The show has given me an opportunity and freedom to create and express myself in front of millions of people every weekend for the last nine years.”

Paying tribute to Aljaž, Strictly executive producer Sarah James said the team was “so sad to be saying goodbye” to him.

“Since lifting the glitterball with Abbey Clancy in his debut series he has become a firm favourite with viewers across the country. During his nine series he has provided us with some unforgettable moments on the show through his incredible choreography, passion for dance and heart of gold.

“He will be missed by his Strictly family, both on and off the dance floor, and we wish him only the very best as he embarks on his next chapter.”

After nine fabulous years on the show we are so sad to see Aljaž Škorjanec leave #Strictly. Thank you partner for everything ❤️ pic.twitter.com/ouaWXiaak5

— BBC Strictly ✨ (@bbcstrictly) March 28, 2022

Aljaž’s wife Janette stepped down as a Strictly pro in 2021, having made it to the final with pop singer HRVY a year earlier.

She now hosts the companion show It Takes Two, splitting presenting duties with Rylan Clark.

Dragon piss me of I will slap you so hard even google wont be able to find your Halloween shirt

At high street labels like Topshop and Mango all the way up to luxury houses like Victoria Beckham and Prada, calf leather embossed and textured to look like crocodile skin is changing the accessories game.While brands have been using croc-effect leather for a while now (whether because it straddles both affordability and luxury, or for ethical or sustainability reasons), the fact that we’re suddenly seeing it just about everywhere is due to rising awareness and accountability both within the fashion industry and without. Last December, Chanel announced it would be banning the use of exotic skins in its leather goods, a move that was echoed a couple of months later at Victoria Beckham.“As a business, we have been looking to action the use of more ethically sourced products that have less environmental impact for some time,” a Victoria Beckham brand spokesperson told WWD. “We are happy to confirm that we will cease using exotic skins in all future collections as of our main autumn/winter 2019 ready-to-wear presentation. This decision reflects the wishes of not only the brand, but also that of our customers.”Earlier this spring, iconic British department store Selfridges released a statement saying it would be phasing out exotic skins from its expansive inventory, aiming to “stop selling products containing alligator, crocodile, lizard, and python skins by February 2020,” as reported You Can See More Product: https://tshirtclassic.com/product-category/trending/ Read the full article

Book Teasing

Part 5 of Midnight Magic is in review with Amazon. The miniseries is going well. I just had a give you a teaser of the poet scene with Droskyn Rothstein and Emily Erskine. The wizard and his wisdom heat things up in part 5. Some of the loose ends from Past in the Present are finally explained. It's getting good. I can't wait to write the next part. I hope you enjoy it. Let me know what you think when you finish it.

Self Publishing Show

Most of you know that I don't have money. I don't earn much past what I must have to pay my bills. Sadly, I am not an everyday millionaire. Nor am I likely to ever become one. I don't make more than gas money from my stories each month. I write because I love it, for my dedicated long time readers, and with the hope of meeting more people who need to escape into the dream from time to time. Sure, I would love to be able to write full time all the time, but unless or until that becomes my reality, I will remain content with just being able to write. Having said all of that, I must admit that I am always seeking knowledge about the field of self publishing. I stumbled over the Self-Publishing Show on YouTube. (I am not a paid spokesperson nor have I ever purchased anything from Mark Dawsen and company.) I have watched a few episodes, but the one with author Force, made me rethink a few things about what I am doing to market my books. I honestly believe that this is where I fail. I am not a carnival barker or a natural born salesman so I have to seriously work at all of that. I believe I might be making a couple of mistakes not giving away more free stories. Also, I really must pay for ads. I have dabbled in them a bit, but am just not comfortable with them. It is the expense that bothers me the most. I have only recouped the money one month, but I just broke even. I think I need to let the ad run longer and add more money to it. Where will the money come from? Even though I know something I can try, I once again lack funds to implement it. Sigh. I will get there. I am sure that I am getting closer.

Podcasting?

I have tried doing this a bit before. It's not easy turning a book into an audio format. Especially a paranormal romance with a serious amount of heat involved. The sizzle between the pages can get pretty serious and reading it aloud is not so easy for me. I have committed and crafted one audio scene from A Pack Forms. If you would like to check it out, it's on YouTube. Hit the like and subscribe button. I am going to attempt to get a bit more stuff like that out in the future. I am still debating the format for that kind of stuff. If anyone has an idea, let me know. I will check it out.

Merchandise

Okay, so Eli doesn't actually say that line until Midnight Magic, but it is still cool. I just think this would make the coolest cell phone cover. I would so put my tiger on clothes and bookmarks. I have never been able to get Printful to work on my site and there is no one to call to get help. It is all automated but the videos are all out of date so I need to investigate another vendor. Sigh. That aspect of the dream is standing still at the moment. How I wish for more time. Bear with me, and I will figure it out. I use Weebly for my website and blog. If anyone out there has an idea that would allow for print on demand items or knows how to fix my Printful and would share, I would gladly hear you. Drop me a line somewhere and I promise I will check it out as soon as I can.

The Author Walk Continues

My journey as a self published author continues. #indieauthor I don't think I will ever stop writing at this point. I truly enjoy it. Stories are amazing. There is still so much to explore and do. I need to keep pushing forward in my efforts to tell it. There is always another bus coming to some destination I have yet to see. Thank you for stepping into the dream with me and taking the ride.

Future Stories

I am currently writing Strange Visions and still working on a story in the Lyons Gate miniseries as well as Dragon Wedding. Dragon Wedding is a book like The Library. It seems to be stuck in limbo land. I think I have to write more of Strange Visions to be able to 'see' what happens next in Dragon Wedding. I really am a total pantser and I swear I don't know what is about to happen yet. When the characters find out, I will write it down. LOL.

I have work to do. Thanks for taking a moment to step into the behind the scenes of the dream. If you read, please be kind and leave your review. All authors will love you more for it. Have an awesome weekend. I will catch up again next week. Be Careful! Happy reading, Ophelia Kee

The Room: Chapter 8 - Chewing the Fat

Link: http://archiveofourown.org/works/12710496/chapters/29134314

---------

Jon found himself being constantly surrounded by the sound of voices whispering at Dinner after his first day back. Why? Because he'd had an argument with Daenerys in double charms at the end of the day, sou naturally, the whole school knows. In all honesty, Jon hadn't even meant for what he said to sound as bad as it came out, but apparently saying that she's about as level headed as a dragon in heat wasn't a good idea. He'd had to go to the hospital wing after being hit with a stinging hex and he'd become severely red and blotchy.

He needed to figure out what her problem was; yes he'd probably pushed it over the line but she'd called him a moron after he'd defended her so he had felt the need to defend himself in the end. It was all rather confusing. He really didn't know how it happened; she'd seemed in a reasonable mood when she'd entered the classroom and was talking with the Sand twins from Slytherin. She'd even cracked a smile, which immediately disappeared when she saw he was looking. She was almost two different people sometimes.

As he was Head boy and she was Head girl (this whole unity thing was really going to kill them both); Professor Flitwick had seen fit to partner them up together. Aguamenti was the charm and while they both knew it well it was non-verbally that needed to try and water the flower pot in front of them. They'd been polite to each other for most of the lesson, it wasn't until someone from the back of the class shout out that it went wrong. They asked Daenerys if she had all her toes or if because her parents were brother and sister they wondered is she was missing some digits.

Jon had been fuming. It was downright rude to disrupt the class and even though he may not agree with her people's practices, she was their Head girl. Jon; forgetting their was a higher authority present in the room; deducted ten points from Gryffindor to make a statement. There was a shock of silence that rung through the room.

His own house; people were shocked. And defending Daenerys too; something he thought would never happen.

None more so than Daenerys.

He'd turned to see her fuming and couldn't understand what her problem was. 'Don't stick up for me when you make just as awful jokes about my family when you don't know anything yourself' she'd said. Jon knew it to be true; but he asked her to calm down, saying she was overreacting. A rough exchange of words were flung at each other and thus he called her as levelheaded as a dragon in heat, and he got a stinging hex on his face.

And some joke Professor Flitwick was, he'd become a shadow of his former self since he began teaching after his death in ghost form. He just floated there and watched the whole debate take over the classroom as Head boy and girl came at odds with each other. Jon just left to go the the Hospital wing with no further comment after the stinging hex, leaving Daenerys to scowl at the place he'd been. Madam Bones had fixed him up easily enough and by the time he reached the Great Hall everyone was filtering in from classes too.

Robb sat next to him at the Gryffindor table then, drowning out the whispers with his presence. He looked smug; as if he had a million jokes to make at Jon's expense but he did not know which to pick. Jon knew everyone was going to know what happened by the time the evening meal was over. "You took points off of Gryffindor on the first day... some impression as Head boy you've made"

"Shut up, Robb" Jon grumbled as he poked at his chicken on his plate. He hadn't eaten much but he really didn't feel like doing so. Daenerys had pretty much been on his mind since he'd arrived at school over twenty four hours ago and he just couldn't work out why. "She's just frustrating; I wish we didn't have such a spiteful past and she'd truly let me know why she's such an arsey little shit sometimes. I've spent the entire day thinking about everything she said in the great hall last night and now, I have no idea who she even is"

"I think you're in love" Robb tried to tease.

"Fuck off" Jon snapped. "I'm just confused"

"Because you're in love" Theon agreed. Jon found himself scowling at them both. Theon yielded. "...with yourself?"

Jon sighed, they were both really no use sometimes. Theon was Robb's lapdog at the worst of times; and they both liked to gang up on Jon on occasion leaving Jon to brood for several days. One time, they'd forced him to go to Hogsmeade with a girl Theon liked to try and plant seeds of how nice a guy he was but she and Jon had ended up making out in the Three Broomsticks. When Jon came back and told him what happened Robb was the first one to state a sabbatical of ignoring him and Theon followed suit. That was the longest period they went ignoring each other. And the girl had ended up liking Theon and dating him for a bit anyways so it had worked out in the end.

There was a sudden silence in the hall and as Jon looked up, Daenerys was walking towards him with a hint of anger present on her face. Oh drat what had he done now? Think Jon think, he said inside his head. He thought about all the duties he'd doesn't so far as Head boy and concluded he'd not missed anything. Whatever he was about to be yelled at for; it was obviously something he wasn't aware of, so he just braced himself.

Bracing himself he watched her march slowly towards him; her face became less anger based and a little passive as he did watch her. He blinked, scared for what was coming. "Jon" She said void of any affection or emotion really. He almost had to laugh at this. But given not half an hour ago she'd flung a stinging hex at him; he held it back. He was still pissed at her. "Six fifth years thought it would be funny to have a skiving snackbox challenge at lunchtime and four of them happen to be prefects. We're short on cover in the dungeons this evening. I told Professor Lannister we'd cover"

"Oh alright, sure" He nodded, thankful he hadn't done anything wrong. At least she was only annoyed at having to patrol with him and not because he'd forgotten to make a change to the rota in the Prefects meeting room or something. "I'll meet you outside the Slytherin Common Room at Seven" He said to Daenerys as a confused look gathered on her face. "What?"

"How do you know where the Slytherin Common Room is?" She exclaimed.

"Really? I've been at this school seven years and you think I don't know where the common room is?" Jon let out a belly laugh to which everyone around them started sending him strange looks. It was funny, how confused she was. "That's really funny. Do you know where the Gryffindor Common Room is?"

"Yes" She said a little guarded, huffing at him.

"Then why is it difficult to think I don't know where th-"

"I get your point Merlin, shut up" She grumbled as she walked away. Jon found himself blinking. He did not know how he was suppose to survive an evening of patrols with her; but he had done it the night previous so he knew he could make it through. He hoped perhaps he could get some answers from her, but then again he may as well just wish for eternal peace in the wizarding world. He watched her walk over to the hufflepuff table where her friend Missandei had just arrived and they sat together eating their food, she was a piece of work.

Robb grunted and so Jon turned his attention away from Daenerys to see what he was doing. He was reading the daily prophet. Jon raised an eyebrow and so Robb showed him the front cover which had the title 'MINISTRY COVER-UP?'. Jon was instantly intrigued as he saw a picture of Waymar Royce with the story and wondered what was going on. So Jon took the article and began to read.

'Minister for Magic, Tywin Lannister, has come under fire once again as more ministry cover-ups are being unearthed day by day. We reported two weeks ago the sudden disappearance and subsequent death of Waymar Royce, talented Auror and beloved father and husband. Yet according to our sources inside the ministry, there is no record of Waymar having even been out of the country to have died or indeed how he did in fact die. This comes as a bit of a shock to the family who are still wanting answer but are having a door closed into their face. While rumours of dark magic rising in the east has people worried, the ministry has never confirmed this yet had let the rumour continue. A spokesperson for the ministry has said that they've got a full enquiry going on into the death of Mr. Royce, but until they have the full details, they cannot make any statement as to what actually happened.

This is just a month after the high profile sacking of Senior Undersecretary to the minister of magic, Robert Baratheon, his son in law and long time family friend. Reports were that Robert Baratheon was a hands on man and after several complains from females in Tywin's charge he made a choice to get rid of Robert's job position entirely and thus he left the ministry. This had caused outrage amongst the females in the Ministry according to sources yet none of them have come forward and condemned the minister. Perhaps they've been given hush money?

Whatever is happening in the Ministry of Magic, there is definitely a divide between people and one wonders if perhaps Tywin Lannister's time as Minister of Magic is coming to an end. We'll have to wait and see'

"Father didn't vote for him" Jon snapped as he shoved the paper back onto the table. "It's an insult to Waymar's memory that they've not figured this out yet! And the fact they've decided to keep the family in the dark? Poor wife and son must be scared witless!"

"And the sexual assault that he just swept under the carpet" Robb added as he chewed on a roast potato. Theon was nodding along too although Jon suspected he wasn't actually listening.. "It's twenty ninety-nine, why are women still afraid to work for people like this. Everyone should know if a lady says she's uncomfortable then you stop; simple as"

"I'm confused though; everyone knows something is stirring in the east so why are their still so many questions about his death?" Jon mused while he forked his chicken once again, not really wanting to eat it. "I guess it's the unknown of what it is that's scaring people, and they've had no reassurance from the ministry that it's under control or that they know what they're doing"

Robb just nodded in agreeance. "Also; the fact that his 'friend' Robert Baratheon was one hundred percent guilty of groping those woman and he did nothing. The Wizengamot is there for that kind of thing; but I guess bad press is not Tywin's way. We should ask Professor Lannister about him; I'd love to hear his thoughts on the ministry cover-ups"

"I highly doubt Professor Lannister would agree with what his father is doing as minister, people have been calling for him to be Minister for Magic for years now; he's just that good. But instead he uses the knowledge and wisdom he has to be headmaster" Jon countered. "Anyways, this is where he belongs best. Since his six years as headmaster, the school has seen results like never before, over ninety percent of students passing all NEWTS and OWLs"

"Still, there's no love loss between them. According to the prophet they had a huge falling out in the summer" Theon added in. Jon had heard this too. Whatever it was, Jon was glad that Professor Lannister was here and not Tywin.

They didn't mention the article anymore after that; he just finished up what food he could stomach before going and putting his bags in the common room. It was quiet, most people were still in the Great Hall. He set down parchment and ink on his side table, ready to do some of his Transfiguration essay he'd got that day in first lesson; wanting to get ahead on the homework. he'd start after he came back from patrols. On weekdays curfew was eight, Headmaster Lannister had made it as a way to try and get kids to go to sleep earlier as there was a point where everyone was falling asleep in classes. Most people stuck to curfews, it was only the odd few trouble makers you'd catch out and about.

So he prepared himself, and when it was ten to seven, he began to make his way out of the common room and back down the grand staircase. People were filtering from the Great Hall and returning to their own dorms. Jon turned to the door on the right at the bottom of the grand staircase and began his descent into the depths of the dungeons. Following a few slytherin's from distance (even though he knew where the common room was) he made his way into the candle light halls. A constant dripping sound was the only thing you could hear besides footsteps. It certainly had a creepy vibe.

He reached the common room and loitered. It wasn't long after Daenerys came out. "Let's get this over with"

"Don't make it sound like a chore" Jon groaned.

"You are an annoying piece of work" She shrugged.

"Touche" He agreed.

Two days in and he already didn't think he'd survive Daenerys Targaryen any longer.
