Fae AU
Upon the death of the Queen of Air and Darkness, the Unseelie Court passed to her son, commonly known as “Percy”. Rumors have circulated for hundreds of years that Percy killed her himself or otherwise imprisoned her. Until Percy ascended the throne, none of the Queen of Air and Darkness’ children had lived to inherit the throne. Percy was fond of pulling pranks in the mortal realm and expressed hopes that the Unseelie Court could expand to be “more”. He was engaged to Titania and Oberon’s eldest daughter when he severed his ties to the Unseelie Court several hundred years ago. He neither died nor became mortal, but instead became a creature who can pass freely between the Realms. Others followed him into liberation and became his Wild Hunt. As leader of the Wild Hunt, Percy is afforded respect, fear, and admiration, however he is Courtless and if he were to declare a Court now, it would be seen as a declaration of war against both the Seelie and Unseelie Courts (to say nothing of what lesser Courts might take offense). 
His “cousin” (in actuality a nephew who was his age contemporary), Finnegan, assumed the kingship, systematically ridding himself of competition. His magic is great, as is his talent for politics. He would not take up Percy’s broken engagement and instead proposed that there should be peace between the Seelie and Unseelie, so long as the princess, now queen, Masha and he did not marry. He devised a dark gauntlet which lovers must succeed to become Champions of the Unseelie Court - sworn to him and him alone. Many mortals have gone mad to survive this maze and many more have died. Fae know better than to accept the challenge: should they prove worthy, they also prove dangerous and risk death or banishment. 
The Seelie Court kidnaps mortals, too, but their challenges vary on the whims of the queen. Masha is known to collect artists and poets as often as she takes warriors. She asks that her Champions gift her something of themselves, indeed, gift it to all generations of Seelie to come so that their beauty my be immortalized. Those who do not sacrifice cannot become Champions and no Fae would dare give to their queen without reservation. 
Lesser Courts pledge fealty to the Unseelie or the Seelie Court and only the Wild Hunt, which must wander the mortal realm for the cruelest months of the year, remains free of such ties. Both Unseelie and Seelie Courts live under the threat of war with the Wild Hunt.
The Feywild itself is divided into the lands of the Great Courts and the Lesser Courts. It is impossible for a mortal to map due to the shifting geography. A mortal who wanders into the Feywild or who is brought to a Court is very unlikely to leave or, if they do leave, to find themselves when and where they started. 
But why ever would you want to return to the mortal world now?
None of the royal characters use their True Names To invoke a True Name is to know a person or a thing almost too intimately. 
Eating or drinking from a Fae table will keep you in the Feywild. It may even pledge your loyalty to a Court. 
Some of the Lesser Courts hope to rebel as the Wild Hunt once did. Others hope that the Seelie and Unseelie Courts are weaker under new rulership and could be taken advantage of. 
Within the Seelie Court and the Unseelie Court there are Duchies, which are smaller than Lesser Courts, but very prestigious. 
Celebrations (revels) are held in tandem with the swells of magic, which are marked by the waxing and waning of the moon. 
Some Fae take on “fairy godmother” roles with mortals, make deals with mortals, or prank mortals, however the Wild Hunt (”The Un-Court”) deals most frequently with mortals

Guo Pei Alta Costura Primavera Verano 2020 en la París Fashion Week
Guo Pei Alta Costura Primavera Verano 2020 en la París Fashion Week
Tumblr media
Guo Pei me encanta. Es una diseñadora que siempre sabe sacar la parte más arquitectónica y recargada en la Alta Costura. Esta vez no ha sido menos. Encontramos una colección en la que las modelos llevan unas mangas que sirven de cola perfectamente, porque las arrastran por la pasarela. Por otro lado tenemos muchísimo volumen. Tanto que algunas prendas pasan por el nórdico de la cama…

@noblehcart​ | Masha & ?? | “Devil in Me” by Halsey
“I scream too loud if I speak my mind.”

Note
🌶 any other muse you wanna have Jane talk about
send 🌶 to learn what my muse thinks is hot about yours
Georgie Crusoe: “She’s so strong. I just feel like, like, she could carry me off to a castle and guard me from evil. Which is, of course, ridiculous but. Damn.”
Elizabeth Lavenza: “You have such a beautiful voice Liz. I wish you could sing me to sleep some nights.”
Masha Voronina: Jane and Masha haven’t met in Real Life yet. 
Anna Gracia: “I mean look at you! Bouncy, sleek hair, perfect eyebrows, your lips are always moisturized! I couldn’t imagine a more attractive woman if I tried. Not to mention how optemistic you are!”
Finnegan: “This is harder than you think.” She sighed, pulling her mouth to and fro as she thought. “See, as much as I like Finnegan, he’s not all that attractive to me in particular. I could say he’s fashionable, cordial, all the things everyone already knows, but the one thing that I always notice? When he gets his nails manicured. It’s so subtle! I wish I could convince Victor to get his done professionally. But don’t tell Finnegan I said that. He’ll get all self-important and smug.”
Diaval: “I’ve known him for three years now, but his accent is still as sharp as ever. It’s even more fascinating knowing that he’s had the same one since he first shifted! It’s amazing, honestly.”
Santiago Ortiz: “Don’t even say it! I’m not –I just think he’s handsome, alright? And I admire his conviction. That’s ALL.”
Erik: “Nadir was right; there’s something poweful and compelling about his hands. I know most people would say his voice –and it’s wonderful– but, watching him work or play, you really appreciate the practice and the commitment.” 
Nadir Khan: “What can I say about Nadir Khan? Nadir Khan is flawless. He has an apartment in New York and one in Paris. I hear his hair is insured for 10,000 dollars. And that he does car commercials. In Japan. One time, he punched Erik in the face. It was awesome.”  
Gleb Vaganov: “He looks absolutely wonderful if you can get his suits properly fitted. Like the perfect specimen of a human male. It’s almost distrubing, but very attractive.” 
Percy Blakeney: “It’s only when he’s being, well, honest that I can see what Marguerite sees in him. He looks so heroic then! Tall and strong and clever. I wish he would do it more often.” 
Marguerite Blakeney St. Just: “I sometimes wish I could be Marguerite. She’s so, so, … perfectly feminine. No matter what she’s wearing, no matter how clean or dirty, no matter where we are, there’s never any mistaking her for anyone else. I don’t know how she does it.”

@noblehcart | Masha for Gleb
Masha cradled her mug between her hands, watching people in the wet streets make their way through Leningrad. At all hours, the city clattered along at frantic pace. Some days it felt like it raced to keep up with modernization in all its forms. Others that it only scrambled to survive on hard bread and thin cabbage soup. Today the sky was bleak and blustery, with only the faintest glimmer of sunlight making its way into the tea shop. The nights stretched for eternity. Winters in Leningrad were not forgiving, but they were kinder than those in Yekaterinburg. She thought of the letter in her coat pocket, asking her sister if Moscow was kinder than Leningrad and Yekaterinburg both. The faintest whiff of yearning could be scented in the ink, not only for a kinder world, but one where her family could be together. 
In her distraction, Masha didn’t notice the door swing open and when she did, it took her a moment to realize Gleb had joined the long, winding line of people with tired, damp bones, eager for the balm found in a warm cup. 
He looked distracted, as if his legs had brought him here by memory and the rest of him had followed. Masha set er teacup down and made eye contact with the girl behind the counter to ask her to keep her table. Then, Masha stood beside Gleb and placed a gentle hand on his arm. 
“I hoped you’d be here,” she said. “No one has seen you in days, Glebka.” 
The smallest of exaggerations. Masha gestured towards her half-abandoned cup.
“I have a table. Join me before you disappear into that office again.”

@enjcyourselves | Eric & Masha
As another day closed in Piffling Vale’s second hospital, nurse practitioner Masha Voronina stepped onto the lift with a faint smile. Dr. Edgeware hadn’t believed her when she said she could lessen his patient load. 
“A doctor,” he’d lamented. “that’s all I wanted them to send... Just one. more. doctor. Someone to take half my patients and-”
He’d fallen asleep at his desk at that point. Masha covered him with his spare lab coat and determined to take on half his patients. Now, two months into her time on Piffling, she had done just that. The good doctor was getting rest, Masha was meeting the most interesting people, and the pay was steady. It felt good to be doing good in the world, fulfilling in a way she hadn’t felt since she’d helped run a hospital for Doctors Without Borders - but not just for the medical work. Masha’s spare time had been taken up by volunteer causes to better this strange little village. She supervised the scouts - they decidedly did not want any of the other candidates for reasons Masha wasn’t too clear on - and she did veterinary work for the aquarium and some local farms and tomorrow, she and Eric Chapman were giving a free Saturday training on CPR and first aid at city hall in the games room. 
She was actually quite thankful to be going home to get some rest before tomorrow’s big event. 
(Never mind the planning that still needed to be completed about the free flu shots next weekend - )
The lift doors dinged and the only other person in the Chapman’s building stepped inside. Behind his smile, Eric Chapman looked as tired as Masha felt. Smiling up at him, Masha resisted the urge to fuss over him as much as she could. 
Tumblr media
“You had better be going home, Mr. Chapman,” she teased brightly. “We have a big day tomorrow... I will write you a prescription for a good night’s rest if I have to.”

"I think I might be your type. Might. Maybe. After all these years."
@walkingshcdow
Tumblr media
"Masha Voronina ...there was never a time that you weren't 'my type'. There were only times where I was far too much of a coward to say as much."
Because what was he but a man who told the truth to the woman he loved. The woman he had always loved. The woman who haunted his bed like a ghost in the mornings as the scent of her perfume from the day before lingered in his nose. Life was far too short, he had come to realize, that drowning the words that were engraved into his heart out of duty was foolish. A smart man took advantage of every opportunity in war- wasn't love a war? A battlefield? Perhaps that was what confused him because with her it was only then that he knew peace.
"Lyubimaya, my heart has always belonged to you." It was a breathless chuckle that escapes as his head shakes and he feels his chest twist, aching with the pressure of lost days and unsaid words. "There was never a time that I hadn't imagined a life for us. Mornings in your arms, meals shared, children carried and lives curated by your hands and your love."
HIs arms gesture outwards just slightly as blue eyes remain soft on her features. " Do you honestly think my heart could ever be so unmoved by you? Masha Voronina, I believe the sun would move for you if you but asked it. Ask me and I'll do the same. I just never could before because... "
Its the surrendered sigh that escapes as head shakes. "How can a cold satellite ask to share the same sky as a beautiful nebula of possibilities? I am someone who forged himself into service and duty...what can that offer to a beautifully endless realm of possibilities and light? I contented myself to admire and watch from afar. Its been an honor to even just do that."
"And-" Feet carried him steps closer to her and stopped as for once hesitation marked his sure frame though hand reached to gently follow the curve of her cheek. "-I'd have lied to myself for the rest of my days saying that it was enough to just do that. But I am not a liar and you know that. Nether are you...so I have to ask . With your complete honesty...is there ever a chance that you'd consider this cold steel functional creature into your life as more than an observer or has my time passed?"
