Great Expectations is the thirteenth novel by Charles Dickens and his penultimate completed novel. Set in Kent and London School, early to the mid-19th century. Published 1861.
Great Expectations is an upcoming period drama developed by Steven Knight. It is based on the novel of the same name by Charles Dickens. It depicts the education of an orphan nicknamed Pip. It is Dickens' second novel, after David Copperfield, to be fully narrated in the first person.
Tumblr media
The six-part miniseries is a Victorian slice. The British writer Steven Knight (the creator of “Peaky Blinders,” who also adapted “A Christmas Carol” for television, in 2019) casts gothic and colonial shadows over the beloved bildungsroman, which follows Pip, an orphan whose aspirations to become a gentleman are bankrolled by a mysterious benefactor. In Knight’s retelling, Pip learns that few fortunes are made without preying on the misfortune of others.
Tumblr media
Pip Gargery (Fionn Whitehead) is an orphan living in coastal Kent with his blacksmith brother-in-law Joe (McDonnell) and his viciously abusive sister Sara (Hayley Squires). Like most of Dickens’ orphans, Pip dreams of a grand life in which he does not have to adopt Joe’s trade; he wishes to travel the world. The local wealthy madwoman, Amelia Havisham (Colman), twisted by rage at being abandoned by the altar, lives in her wedding dress while destroying her adopted daughter Estella’s (Shalom Brune-Franklin) emotional and psychological health. Pip is hired to serve as a companion to Estella; Miss Havisham observes the pair and encourages Estella to treat him with abject cruelty. An unknown benefactor finances Pip’s journey into London life, where he meets his new boss, Mr. Jaggers (Thomas). Together they try to topple the spice trade empire of Bentley Drummle (Needham), a craven man engaged to Estella.
Tumblr media
With a cast like this behind Knight’s name, it’s no surprise there’s been a lot of hype around the new period drama. Just look at this star-studded list:
-Olivia Colman (The Favourite, The Crown) as Miss Havisham -Fionn Whitehead (Dunkirk) as Pip -Shalom Brune-Franklin (The Tourist) as Estella -Ashley Thomas (The Ipcress File) as Jaggers -Johnny Harris (Without Sin) as Abel Magwitch -Matt Berry (What We Do in the Shadows) as Mr Pumblechuck -Hayley Squires (Adult Material) as Sara Gargery -Rudi Dharmalingam (The Lazarus Project) as Wemmick -Owen McDonnell (The Holiday) as Joe Gargery -Trystan Gravelle (Mr Selfridge) as Compeyson -Laurie Ogden (The Colour Room) as Biddy

月 (Moon)
Summary: Hikari and the Wizard attend the Moon Viewing Festival together, and the farmer notices some similarities between her favourite person and the celestial body he loves to watch.
And ten years later, the next instalment in my Hikari and the Wizard: A Hundred Words series! Technically this is for prompt 23, but since they're not in chronological order anyway it doesn't matter shhh. One of these days I'll get around to prompt 1.
This fic can also be read on Ao3!
Between the two of them, it is undoubtedly Hikari who takes charge when it comes to things like planning festival outings. The Wizard is more than happy to oblige; he had never taken much of an interest in them before she came along, and she enjoys going so much that he tags along mostly just to watch her having fun. The first time she invited him to an event (The Starry Night Festival, of course) it was a bit awkward, feeling the eyes of the whole town on them throughout the night. No one was outwardly rude to him, but the whispers and glances traded between the young adults of the island made him more self-conscious than he liked to admit. He remembers vividly feeling his cheeks warm at the gasp from a pair of girls when they noticed his hand linked with Hikari’s. But she took it all in stride, simply pulling him along with her, so he tried his best to ignore it.
By now they’ve attended enough festivals together that it would be more of a surprise if he wasn’t there, and the only looks he gets from the townsfolk are polite smiles of greeting. They still don’t really know how to talk to him, but that’s fine. Hikari is always there to keep the conversation moving smoothly and he’s allowed to simply observe and enjoy the night.The Wizard finds himself almost looking forward to the festivities on this particular evening, the day of the Moon Viewing Festival. This event will be a quieter one, lacking the usual hustle and bustle of daytime festivals. He and Hikari will spend the night watching the autumn moon take its place in the sky, sharing food and conversation. He can’t imagine a better way to pass the time.
She is already there when he arrives, bouncing on her toes and breathing lightly on her hands to fight the chill. When she spots him, her face lights up in a smile.
“Sorry... to keep you waiting.” He apologizes, feeling guilty for leaving her to wait alone in the cold. He knew he should have left sooner.
She waves a hand dismissively, still grinning. There’s a picnic basket resting at her feet and she leans to pick it up.
“Don’t worry about it! I just got here a couple minutes ago, I wasn’t waiting long.” She loops her free arm easily through his and begins pulling him toward the viewing area. The Wizard enjoys her warmth at his side as she scouts out the perfect spot for them to sit.
The festival is just starting, and so there are other townsfolk still milling about and looking for their own seats. Hikari catches the eye of the local barkeep’s daughter, Kathy, and alters their course to go meet her friend. Next to the young woman is the blacksmith’s grandson Owen, one of his muscled arms wrapped around her waist. The Wizard is glad the two seem to be doing well; Hikari had complained to him a few weeks ago about an argument between the two that she had been trying to help resolve. He smiles, knowing that this will make her happy. Hikari hated to see her friends upset for any reason.
“Yo, Hikari!” Owen calls to her, raising his other hand. He turns to the Wizard as they get closer, nodding at him politely. “Hey, Wizard.”
He was right; Hikari is absolutely beaming. She returns the greeting, detaching herself from the Wizard briefly and handing him the picnic basket to hold while she gives each of her friends a quick hug. He still marvels at her easy intimacy with others; he has never been one for such open displays of affection, and still has to remind himself that it’s okay to reach out to take her hand whenever he feels like it.
Once she has returned to his side, they talk for a few more minutes about things happening around the island. Hikari’s crops are coming in nicely for this season, and Kathy has no shortage of stories from her work at her father’s bar; she mentions in a stage whisper that the carpenter’s son has been coming by almost every night to watch Selena dance. Before long, the two couples bid each other a good evening and go off to find a place to sit.
Settling on a patch of grass a fair distance away from the other festival-goers, Hikari sets her basket down and pulls a thick wool blanket out. She fluffs it open with several deliberate flaps before laying it down. Crawling onto the blanket, she pats the spot beside her in invitation and the Wizard obliges.
For the next few hours, they pass the time chatting and eating the snacks Hikari has brought for them while they watch the full moon climb into the sky. It shines over them and illuminates Hikari’s face as she talks animatedly, regaling him with tales from her adventures saving the Harvest Goddess.
He’s glad she can be herself with him, that she can speak so freely of the mission she’s been chosen to bear. He still feels as though perhaps she would be better off choosing someone else to spend her life with, but he cannot argue that in this aspect, at least, he understands her best. Their shared experience with the otherworldly is in part what bonds them together, and indeed is the entire reason they met. He cannot be too upset with what he is, if it means that he gets to know her.
The air around them grows colder as the night stretches on, and Hikari shuffles closer to the Wizard, inch by inch, until she is huddled against his side. He opens his cloak invitingly to her, and she snuggles in with a tiny smile. While he is rarely the one to initiate physical contact between them, he knows that Hikari loves when he does. The Wizard lets his arm fall around her protectively, and she lets out a happy sigh. They sit in comfortable silence for a long moment, simply enjoying each other’s company.
Hikari speaks softly then, not wanting to shatter the peaceful atmosphere.
“You know, the moon kind of reminds me of you,” she begins, and he looks down at her with questions in his eyes. He is not offended in the slightest; it’s quite nice to be compared to such a magnificent thing, but he doesn’t see where she’s going with this.
“You’re both quiet,” she continues, her eyes fixed on the sky, “and people don’t always appreciate you for what you are. The moon gets a bit taken for granted, even though it’s always there to light the way when it’s dark. There are so many different sides to both of you that it takes a while to see them all, but it’s worth the wait.” She turns to look at him then, a soft smile on her face.
“And you’re both beautiful.”
Hikari leans upward to meet him in a kiss, and he pulls her somehow closer until he can feel her heartbeat thrumming in time with his own. She’s resting nearly on his lap now, his fingers brushing gently through her hair as their mouths move together. Though the kiss is sweet and unhurried, the Wizard’s stomach flips at every touch of her soft skin against his. A moment later they pull apart, and Hikari settles back against his chest with a noise of contentment.
If he is the moon, he thinks, then Hikari must be the sun. She is dazzling, and every living thing -- human, animal, and plant alike -- seems to bask in her warmth. She has even managed to bring him, recluse in the extreme, out of his shell enough to socialize with the rest of the town.
They are so fundamentally different, opposites in nearly every way. But he can live with that. After all, the sun and moon hold each other in balance. One can not exist without the other.

➤ MEET JACOB: 235, PROFESSOR, DJINN
Full Name: Jacob Derwin Owens-Bishop Nickname(s): None Pronouns: He/Him Birthday: May 2, 1786 Age: 235 Status: Professor Subject: Criminal Justice Species: Djinn Special Powers: None Sexuality: Straight I am a: Dominant I want a: Any Turn-Ons: Spontaneity, oral sex, sexting Turn-Offs: Pedophilia, bathroom play, feet
➤ BIOGRAPHY
Jacob was born in Dover, UK in 1700. His father worked on a merchant ship, only being home for small stints before having to resume work. His father sailed around Europe, Africa and the Mediterranean during this time. Jacob was the second born child, in a family of four children. His oldest brother had already left by the time Jacob was born, so there wasn’t much he knew of him. Like most Djinns, and most likely other supernaturals he had a large extended family.
Through no fault of his family’s, Jacob had a desire to travel around the world. He wanted to leave home to explore the world. He traveled around the Mediterranean, up through Northern Europe, all the way east to Poland. Along the way he learned many skills such as archery, blacksmithing and woodworking. He eventually made his way to Law School, in Oslo, Norway in 1912. However, he paused his studies during World War 1. He enlisted and like many black soldiers, was stationed in-combat positions. For Jacob, he was stationed in Belgium, working as an ammunition transporter. Despite his desire for a job that would lead to action, taking advantage of his supernatural abilities, he was very proud of the work he did to help his homeland eventually win.
After the war, he returned to Oslo to continue his education, eventually achieving a PhD in Criminal Justice. After the completion of this, he wanted to continue exploring. Primarily, he wanted to head west, to visit the Americas and the Caribbean. He first made home in Jamaica in 1927 where he started his own law practice. It was paradise for Jacob, loving the warm weather, as well as the relatively easy work that came with his law practice, working mostly with the legalities of Real Estate ownership. But his practice went on hold once again, when in 1941, he joined the RAF during World War II. The idea of learning how to fly was something he’d had for some time, his law office was near a local runway. He worked as a Pathfinder in the RAF, where he was able to see a lot more action than he did in World War I.
After his service, Jacob remained in Europe where he opened a new law practice in London, specializing in helping Supernaturals, for a steep price of course. After some time, he moved to Italy, where he worked as a law profession. Eventually, he wanted to move to a place where he didn’t have to pretend to be human, or be worried if someone might get suspicious that he really wasn’t physically aging. That was what had led him to The Institute, where he could work as a professor there without any of the worries other Djinns might have as they tried to blend into society. Luckily, he had a family member who worked at the Institute, and word got back to him about the place. How easy it was, not having to worry about blending in with humans. Emmanuel Reyes is a distant cousin of his, which is what led him there, having met a few times in the past at various family get-togethers. That being said, having family there wasn’t a deciding factor in him eventually applying for work at the University.
➤ PERSONALITY
✚ Intelligent, personable, flirtatious ▬ Deceptive, impulsive, condescending
�� ESTABLISHED CONNECTIONS
Emmanuel Reyes
➤ FACE CLAIM & OOC INFO
