Good morning/afternoon Saph, may I request Harvest Dance with Lucien? Fluff please!
This one's been a while in the making. A little lovesick Lucien coming right up. Hope you enjoy!
He’d sneak away sometimes. Like a fox in the night crawling through the underbrush he would blend and weave between the trees, footsteps covered by the rustling leaves blown from their branches in a rain of vibrance, covering his tracks. Despite the graces Lucien found among the beauty of spring it is evergreen and he longs for the shades of fire, the chill when night settles, the warmth of mulled wine and honey-glazed treats, but most of all the people. Cauldron he didn’t know how much he missed the merriment. Maybe that’s not the only thing he missed. Maybe his desire and reasons for sneaking into the court he once called home were not entirely generic. Perhaps they were targeted to a particular individual. Who is he to say? Who is he to deny the firelight in the distance beckoning him closer? Who is he to deny the calling of the music? He lets it fill his senses. 
Bonfires lay scattered throughout the clearing. No paths converge nor lead to this chip of existence so out of place in this court yet so true to Autumn it makes the fire in his heart beat and burn a little brighter. The people sing as the assembled band plays their mismatched instruments. They dance around the fires, spinning and spinning between partners or simply on their own. There is laughter and unbridled joy but most of all there’s truth. No hiding behind masks. No armour forged from customs and etiquette. There’s only the life your heart feels, the music that makes your feet move and the infectious happiness that laces the air of the clearing keeping at bay the tragedies and savagery beyond. You’re here somewhere. You always are. May you grace him with your presence, your love, your radiance. You do indeed. 
Before he knows it arms wrap around him and pull him close. The initial shock fades when he hears those joyous giggles he’s etched into his mind to keep forever. He’s quick to wrap his arms around your waist, lift you and spin you around if only to see you smile so beautifully. Your lips meet his in a honey-laced kiss. You pull away all too soon and he sets you down, though Lucien is reluctant to let you out of his embrace. 
“You came.” You state excitedly, tracing your fingers over his cheekbone lovingly. 
“I made you a promise when we last met.” He leans into your touch, his lips softly grazing the inside of your wrist, pretending not to be satisfied by the goosebumps that spread across your skin, and the flush to your cheeks. Your brow furrows, a spark of concern taints your radiant energy.
“Is-is it safe for you to be here?” You tried not to ask, tried not to bring up the elephant in the room but you failed. When you lower your head thinking you might have ruined this moment it’s Lucien’s warm touch that lifts your chin and makes you meet assurance in his eyes. 
“As safe as it is for you to be here.” That somewhat puts you at ease though the faint flicker is still there. Lucien will make it his sole task to make you forget. 
He takes a step back, offers you his hand in a bow; a rather formal invitation to dance. You do not put your hand in his so daintily. You do not curtsey in return. No you take his hand and pull. Were he of less grace he might have fallen flat on his face and made a fool of himself, though he is sure you would have had a good laugh and it’d have been worth it especially if you’d fuss over him after he ate dirt. Still he keeps some of his dignity by but stumbling once and allowing himself to be pulled along. You lead him to the biggest bonfire, the radial heat too much to bear. The beads of sweat collecting at his brow do not go unnoticed when you turn to him, work your way through those fancy buttons and clasps with nimble ease and push his jacket and vest off of his shoulders, discarding it somewhere with some other clothes he assumes must be the garments you wore until you deemed them too constricting or simply useless. He bites back the comment forming on his tongue about how quick you are to undress him. 
“We’ll see where the night takes us.” You jest hooking a finger into the neckline of his shirt, an incentive to get closer. Lucien obliges. You lean in close, a hair’s breath away from him and look at him through your lashes. He holds his breath in anticipation of your next move. 
“Now let me show you how the commoners do it in the Autumn forests.” Quick as you are you step away and not even the heat of the fire can replace the spark you light within him. Never once do you break eye contact until you join the circle dancing around the bonfire. He’s quick to step in before someone can take your arm. 
These are not the waltzes of courts. This is ballfolk, commoner’s dance. The steps are beyond him despite your efforts to explain. He might have been paying more attention to the way you move than your actual teachings. Can you blame him? He falls in line pairing up with you. You raise your arm bent at the elbow. A quick look tells him to mimic and he does missing but half a beat but Lucien would not have survived by the graces of fate were he not cunning and quick. Your arms meet at the wrist and you use it to stir him in the right direction. Back and forth, twist and turn, figure eights, best you don’t pay attention to his footwork lest you looking for a good laugh. The music continues. Laughter fills the air. It might as well have been just the two of you in this clearing because everything else ceases to matter when you’re with him. 
You manage to pull Lucien into a dance that goes back and forth. It’s much slower than the others, much closer to a regular palace waltz when no one has reason to show off. To his disappointment half of the dance is spent barely within arm’s reach of you but you make up for it with every passing move by pressing your lips to his. You are gone far too soon. Tease. You know it given the gleam in your eye but finally the last note plays and you’re close. Finally you’re captured in his arms once more and you are not one to deny his affections. In fact you welcome him with open arms, or rather tangle your fingers into his hair and pull him close for a long-awaited passionate kiss. You lean your body against him to push him away from the dancing crowd as to not get in the way. He’s far too distracted to be aware of his surroundings and instead fully submerges in your comfort, your touch and your enchanting lips. 
But then you pull away all of the sudden. Lucien is about to protest but then he notices too. The music has stopped, the voices and laughter fall quiet. The crackling of fire takes over. The crackling of fire and horses in the distance, people in the distance. The celebration comes to an end. The fire grows dark in the flick of some wrists now not but smouldering embers. You reach to grab something and take Lucien’s hand in yours once more. Time to run. You don’t have to say it. Soon trees pass by, weaving through, jumping over fallen branches and springs. You know these lands well but after running for what seems like an eternity, trying to throw off the tracks of whoever came to disturb the celebration, you’re out of breath and so is he. You cast a look over your shoulder and miss a breath, run coming to a slow. Lucien follows suit. You look in the other direction to see some of your friends, your neighbours, your family running in the darkness. 
“You feel like taking a little risk?” You ask out of breath stepping back towards a tree leaning against the bark. You look so alluring, so tempting beckoning him to with a single finger. You drop the garments you’d grabbed but he cares little. Each step he takes is another heartbeat. 
“Quite the theatrics.” Again your fingers snake into his hair putting slight tension on his roots. In retort he grabs you by your thighs and lifts you until you’re perfectly pinned between him and the tree, legs wrapped around his waist. 
“Says you.” You breathe leaning close but now it’s his turn to always remain a hair’s breath from you. Tiny victories and petty payback but when you whine he almost gives in. 
“Says I.” He barely has the time to get the words out when horse hooves and whinnies close in and you close the distance. Your tongue dances along his lips until he meets you. Pulling his hair you angle his head to deepen the kiss even further. When the unwelcome guests are close enough you are sure to let out a lewd moan. They slow down. Lucien makes to pull apart but you urge him to stay. You can feel that smile against your lips, feel the speeding of his heartbeat. And then finally the clearing of a throat has you pull away. Gently you guide his head down to your neck and Lucien decides to even the score yet again, or maybe you’ll retort more severe when he trails kisses down your neck, letting his tongue smooth over where he sucks just a little too much. Never painfully of course but enough to leave a mark or several in the morning. Perhaps you’ll gift him some of his own in return. 
“State your business.” The guard awkwardly tries to impose. Lucien feels your repressed laughter and meets it with a soft warning bite. 
“I’m sorry sir- I-uh-we are a little preoccupied in case you couldn’t tell.” Whatever the guard is trying to say falls silent. Exactly as planned. You notice him shift from foot to foot unsure what to do or how to handle this situation. 
“Very well then.” He clears his throat again. “I recommend you get out of here now.” With that Lucien gently lowers you to the forest floor until he’s sure you’re on stable feet. You address the guard over his shoulder, Lucien refusing to raise his gaze or turn, for his safety and yours. 
“Of course, sir. That’s very generous of you. We’ll be on our way now. Good night.” With that you reach down to pick up the garments you dropped. The guard does not feel like sticking around and rides off. Once you’re sure no one is in earshot you laugh, truly laugh. You lean your head against his shoulder. 
“That went better than expected.” Lucien sighs in relief as you hand him his vest. He realises you grabbed his coat and vest when you could. Best not to have those laying around in Autumn when he’s technically still banished. He notices you didn’t manage to grab any of your own garments so when you hand him the jacket he instead drapes it over your shoulders. 
“We should probably get out of here. The guards are none too happy about our little celebrations.” You lace your fingers with his and begin walking. He follows along allowing himself once more to be guided by you. You take to humming a melody, dancing to the beat of your own song as you walk, spinning and twirling along the way until the torches of the village come into view. A wave of sadness washes over Lucien. He doesn’t know when he’ll next see you. He’ll be back in Spring and you’ll be stuck here. To be separated yet again… Why does it have to be so soon? But then you turn to him, back to the village. 
“Stay the night?” You ask. It catches him off guard. Your previous escapades have been until sunrise when the celebrations would end and the people would return to the village but here you are inviting him, truly inviting him into your life. Though he once thought he might have many doubts he finds clarity in his mind. 
“Yes. Of course.” Lucien blurts before his mind can reason why this is a bad idea. “Some might think twice before inviting me into their home.” He jokes.
“Oh yes. You and your promiscuous reputation. Whatever will this innocent fae do or think? I might be tainted by your wicked ways. A good and honest Autumn citizen no more-” You drag on but it’s Lucien’s turn to pull you in. By your clasped hands you are pulled flush against him, unprepared. He catches you and you manage to find comforts in his body catching your stumble. 
“Graceful as ever.” He jabs and your mouth falls agape at the insult. 
“I have held my tongue all night about your lacking dancing skills and this is how you repay me?” 
“My apologies, my honourable liege. I believe it was I who held your tongue.” You groan and let yourself fall against him once more. A muffled ‘you are the worst’ has him snicker and place a kiss atop your head as he wraps his arms around you to comfort you. He’s the reason for your pain right now after all. You’ll live.

Deep In Those Woods.
Keegan P. Russ x Fem!Reader
Chapter 1 - Chapter 2 - Chapter 3
AO3
You find a strange man in the woods, no doubt running from the federation. He seems, well, in simple terms beat to shit. May your act of kindness not go unpunished.
...
Alr guys, I've tried my hand at writing x reader but it goes so much goddamn faster writing for vague characters versus 'yourself'. BUT IMA TRY IT AGAIN BITCH!
Tumblr media
It wasn't no man's land, but it had seemed no man dared to step into these treacherous lands.
Of course, until they did.
The thick woods, large mountains, and the pure water of the creeks that ran through the lands were seemingly forgotten.
Of course, it was, all until it wasn't.
It started with limited activity, maybe a helicopter, maybe the sound of a plane buzzing past too high in the sky to really know who or what it exactly was.
That's around the time he went missing, your brother that is.
The presence of Federation soldiers was small but large enough to know that this wasn't a simple injury in the woods- a broken ankle, anything of the sort would've been called through the radio.
You'd trusted him enough, trusted his skills to not fall victim to a bear attack. You'd both been raised out here- knew how it worked. It would take more than the maternal rage of a bear protecting her cubs to take either of you down.
Your father was what you'd consider a prepper. Long paranoid and embodied with the 'True American Passion', which was then instilled into you both from a young age. The property was bought long ago and turned into an off-the-grid homestead far away from the nearest town. When the evacuations had begun the two of you had waited before looting.
It seemed wrong at first.
But it was for the best.
The broken windows of the old shopfronts a days travel one way you'd gazed through as a little girl. Ripping open the doors to cars to pump the diesel from their tanks. The cases of fuel stabilizers were put to good use after managing to hotwire an old truck.
There was resistance, but if your father had taught you anything it was to stay far, far away from organizations like that. The kind that would preach equality, to give to the poor and help the weak but would strip you of your resources if they only knew how well you were stocked.
It wasn't selfish, no.
This was survival.
But that was a long time ago.
Dad died of a heart attack a few years ago. He was buried under that apple tree he'd snap a branch from to beat either of you two if God forbid you stepped out of line.
Seemed like a fitting place.
Better than feeding him to the pigs.
Civilization had started to heal itself, the local farmers proving their worth after the large highway's bridges were blown up. She'd remember vaguely hearing it was the ranchers, banding together to protect their lands.
Either way, whoever had done it had done a good job. The landscape protected those who called it home, those who respected the danger of its beauty.
And the days would blend together- the crippling feeling of loneliness, the suffocating sound of silence filling the cabin. You prayed your brother was alright- you could feel, deep down, that he was, he had to be alright. But you couldn't go look for him-
You weren't naive.
You know what they'd do to you if they captured you.
Your knowledge wasn't useful to them, no something much more horrifying.
Your body.
The soft clucks of chickens could only do so much to fill the void- the carnal need for social interaction. Even the arguments over the smallest things with your brother scratched the necessary itch, but once all of the chores had been done, everything dusted, organized, canned, prepped, dinner made, herbs dried, pillows fluffed, clothes mended.
You'd sit in silence.
Waiting.
...
Keegan was tired.
Exhausted.
Running on the fumes of fumes.
And God, did everything hurt.
He'd been hurt worse before- he thinks. But he knew it was starting to get bad, really, really bad when he could no longer feel the piercing pain in his chest, the throb of his ribs, the searing pain in his thigh.
His attackers hadn't survived- he knew that much. But his radio had fallen victim, and as much as he hated to admit it, he was close to being a casualty as well.
But he was stubborn.
The kind of stubborn bred into his genes.
He kept moving, stumbling through the forest bouncing from one tree to the next, tripping over himself and sending himself tumbling over a ledge and into a creek.
The water was cold-
He could feel the water slowly trickling over his cheek, soaking into his clothes as the soothing song of the water meandered past lulled his sight into darkness.
...
You suppose you could fill part of today's void with laundry, maybe even dipping your feet into the creek would bring some kind of temporary relief. The song of the creek shooing away the silence while you'd crouch in its safety.
Pulling the basket down, making your way out and through the pathways feeling the morning sun kiss the back of your neck as you marched seemingly on autopilot through the trail and onward.
The songbirds in the morning, the light hazy sound that the bugs would make as they hid in their crevices.
The sound of your footsteps soft against the fallen leaves and moss, the occasional squelch of mud.
Making your way to the creek, finding the large rock you'd sit on, and waiting to procrastinate the inevitable chore you'd find yourself mindlessly toiling at until sunset.
But there was a boot.
Why was there a boot in the water?
Your eyes narrowed at it, fell to its side sunken, and caught against stones with its added water weight.
Fear crept up the back of your neck as the implications of another person nearby becoming much, much more material. It wasn't something that could simply drift along the creek-
someone was here.
And there was no way to know if they were friendly- if there even was such a thing as friendly anymore.
Hesitantly, pushing your hands onto the cold stone and stepping into the creek, leaning forward to peer up the stream for your eyes to land on what was seemingly a corpse-
missing a boot.
A rifle strewn to his side, a mask, a helmet- a thick vest with a seemingly endless number of things tacked and strapped onto it.
This was a soldier.
You stepped forward, against better judgment to further investigate, eyes falling on the deathly pale skin. Hand reaching hesitantly up to grip the hem of the mask, some kind of skull-like distortion painted into the worn fabric.
Their black grease paint smeared and mixed with blood, eyes shut-
Which is why you felt like you'd jumped out of your skin when his eyes opened in a flash- the moment you'd tugged the mask upward. A large hand splashing through the shallow water and gripping onto your wrist, grip deathly strong as you shrunk back trying to pull your wrist away.
"Ssm.. Away." He shouted, voice slurred and eyes staring off into nothing as if his cold and tense body was acting on nothing but instinct.
English?
Was he-
He just spoke English.
He was American-
His grip became weak, his hand falling to his side as his head lolled as he lost consciousness again. Your body sparks like a live wire as you lunged forward, hands gripping onto his vest and calling out to him, trying to have him open his eyes again to speak, to clarify a thousand questions racing through your mind at that moment.
Your head lifted, frantically searching your surroundings trying to see if anyone had been with him. Letting out a frustrated puff and standing, trying to grip onto a strap on his vest and dragging the accumulated sopping wet dead weight of the large, unconscious man onto the moist dirt shoreline of the small creek.
Struggling- thoroughly before getting his upper body onto the dirt looking around as if questioning your own sanity.
Was this a good idea?
How could it be a good, idea- this was a red-flag paradise.
But, he was American.
That didn't mean he had good intentions.
But he is a soldier-
You think.
You think he is a soldier.
Why would a soldier be all the way out here?
Mercenary maybe?
A theif?
Your eyes narrowed on the thin line of blood tricking through he exposed flesh of his mask, over his eye.
You exhaled, closing your eyes and bunching your hands at your side while you started running back for home.
Throwing a pot of water onto the wood stove to start boiling, scattering out a bag and gripping the handles of the wheelbarrow full of firewood, dumping its contents out onto the soft earth before yanking it back and charging forward on the path to the creek.
Loading the man's body into the wheelbarrow was easier said than done.
You weren't proud to say it, but you did drop him.
More than once.
A few times, actually. Finally opting to throw his upper body in first, lifting his legs with all the energy you could muster and finally tucking his arms in as if you hadn't just dropped him like a sack of shit seven times prior.
Pushing him towards your home.
Simply pushing the wheelbarrow into the open space of your living room, pushing the couch as far back against the wall, and dumping his body out onto the wooden plank flooring near the stove.
Shucking the vest, the gear, unstrapping the gun, and putting it far, far away. The knives kept coming, tucked into random spots, hidden and clipped and strapped under every layer.
The mask was finally removed from his face.
The pants went too.
You'd forgotten his other boot in the water- you'd have to get it later.
It was like finding a stray dog- a dirty, bloody, unconscious dog.
But it was a large, shirtless, stinky man on the floor of your cabin.
You'd leave those thoughts for later.
You tended to his wounds, cleaning the blood from his skin, disinfecting and pulling the gunk from his cuts, carefully stitching the long gash on his thigh back together.
Setting a pillow under his head as his breathing began to even out, the heat of the fire warming his skin and bringing color back to it.
The many scars that rippled across his flesh.
You sat back, exhausted, staring at the rise and fall of his bruised chest. Listening to the sound of his breathing, albeit faint.
But all you could think about wasn't the fear gripping onto your ankles like a vice.
It wasn't silent anymore.

notes - hi! I wrote this a while ago and it's just been sitting in my docs collecting dust. I also have a dad!jake and dad!josh written if anyone is interested (sam is currently in the works!)
a huge thank you to @sunfl0wer-power for the header and listening to my endless commentary about this and @allieisacrybaby for the encouragement 💛
warnings - none. Just dad danny and sweet sam!
-
“We’re leaving, babe!” you hear Danny yell from the garage. You get up from your place in your garden where you were tending to your new sprouts and waltz over the car where Danny is securing five-year old, Francine, in her booster seat.
“You sure you don’t want to come with us?” Danny urges as he envelopes you in a warm bear hug you know so well.
“No, I’m okay, I need to get some work done here. I love you, drive safe,” you kiss him and then move over to the little girl waiting patiently in her seat.
“And I love you! Be brave.” You whisper the last part into her ear before planting a gentle kiss to her forehead. You move away from the car to watch Danny reverse and wave them goodbye as they drive off on their little excursion.
-
Danny pulls into the parking lot next to the only other car there and hops out to unbuckle his daughter from her constraints. Her big amber eyes squint at the brightness of the summer sun as her feet meet the gravel on the ground. Danny gives her an encouraging smile before locking the car and leading the way to the trailhead.
They walk a few minutes before making it to the clearing they frequent often when he’s home. The field of flowers in full bloom, the stream with water clear as day to the side, and an area under an old oak tree where they usually lay out a blanket and enjoy their time until the sun starts to set. It’s their little oasis away from the hustle and bustle of their life.
Yet this time there’s a visitor knelt over a bundle of wildflowers, taking a picture of their beauty with his phone. Earlier that morning, Danny got a call from Sam to talk about an upcoming festival they were scheduled to play at and they got on the topic of plans for the day. Danny invited him to tag along, saying it would be a good opportunity to bond with her, and after some persuading on Danny’s end, Sam complied.
Once Francine makes out his face, her steps falter, falling behind Danny’s pace. He realizes she’s not next to him once he’s a few feet from Sam and turns to see his little girl's face full of worry. She finally catches up to Danny, but stays behind him, his body acting as a barrier between her and Sam. She clutches her arms around Danny’s leg, squeezing tight to find the comfort she always receives from his presence.
“Hey Frankie!” Sam greets with a bright smile. But she just huddles closer to her dad and whispers a polite yet mousy ‘hi’.
Sam has come to learn to not take offense to this behavior as she does this with everyone with the exception of her parents and Uncle Jake due to his laid back demeanor. Though, he is so headstrong that he is determined to connect with her, one way or another - he is her namesake after all.
-
Since she first opened her eyes to the world, Francine has been a timid little thing. Despite her dad being the drummer of a rock band, she likes the gentler, softer side of life - coming up with stories, creating the most beautiful art that a five year old could make, and her most favorite of all, the little critters that inhabit the Earth. When entering the Wagner household at any given moment, you’d find plastic bugs littered around the house, Planet Earth playing on the television, and Francine with one of her parents (or both when she pulls out the puppy dog eyes and they can’t say no) looking for creatures to observe in their backyard. There has been a push lately in efforts to get her out of her shell and trust those who care for her deeply and it has not been an easy process. She cries when her grandparents babysit, she often stays in the greenroom, away from the loudness and crowd of strangers while her dad is on stage, she even stayed by the front door while Danny met Josh’s newborn baby for the first time.
Something that always comforts her in these moments is Danny. Nobody could have expected how strong their relationship would be. She thinks the world of him, and obviously Danny does with her. The warmth he provides has become a safe haven for the little girl who finds the world too big. She had caught onto Danny’s soft nature; how he can make anyone feel a sense of home with his tender words, a sweet smile, and a love that is all-enveloping. It’s a sense of calm that grounds Francine in the most worrisome moments. He is her protector.
-
Sam expresses a reassuring smile and turns back to the flowers that have taken his focus.
“They love this time of year, you know,” still in a knelt position, he points to the flying pollinators buzzing around the petals, “This is when they get all their food to store for the winter.” A bee lands on the bundle of flowers right in front of him and starts to hunt for pollen.
Francine’s attention is grabbed in an instant as Sam continues on with his basic bee facts he learned in the seventh grade. Her head pokes out from behind her dad’s leg to see from her vantage point.
Danny feels a small tug on his pant leg and looks down to see her curious eyes looking up at him.
He kneels down to her level, tucks a loose wave of hair behind her ear, and whispers, “What do you think? Should we get a better view?” He sees the hesitation written on her face as she chews on the inside of her cheek, “can you be a brave girl for me?”
A few seconds pass before she nods in confirmation. He straightens back up and unfurls his hand, welcoming her little one and clasping it to his own in a comforting hold. He leads her over to his best friend who is still enthralled in the liveliness of the bees.
“You see that, Frankie? They're just going on with their little lives, finding food, pollinating the Earth one by one. Each and every one of them are valuable and needed - just like us, huh? Just like you, your dad, me, we all matter in this little thing called life..”
The bee buzzes off to find another flower, “...oh look! There he goes! He must have business to attend to.”
“No, Sammy,” Sam and Danny whip their heads towards her in both shock upon hearing her speak up, and in wonder at what she’ll say next, “The worker bees…they’re all girls.”
“Oh, of course! I’m sorry ladies, keep up the good work!” He yells after them, as if they’ll understand and turns to her, “They’re hard workers, huh?”
She nods in agreement, “Very. Um, Daddy got me a book all about them and how much they help us. I c-can show you it next time you come over…if you want to see.”
Squeezing Danny’s hand, she waits with bated breath for his response. “I would absolutely love that, hun. I can’t wait.” Both of their faces light up to show off their beautiful smiles.
“Hey, I noticed a big patch of flowers down the trail, should we go see what else we can find?” Francine peers up at her dad as a silent ask and he looks down at her with wide eyes in excitement to encourage her.
He expects to have to pull her along with him hand-in-hand, but to everyone's surprise, she brings his hand to her lips to place a soft kiss on his knuckles like she's seen her parents do many times before, lets it fall to his side, and walks along with Sam. It’s as if she was the one comforting him - telling him that she’ll be okay.
After collecting himself he pulls his phone out to capture a video. It shows them walking off a few steps ahead and her talking with her hands, getting animated like she does when she's really interested in the conversation. He goes into his contacts and finds your name, needing you to see how big your little girl has grown in just a couple hours. ‘I’m so proud of her!’ and ‘she’s so brave!’ are passed back and forth before he says he’ll be home soon and can't wait to tell you all about the progress she’s made.
He rushes to catch up to the newly-made friends to find Sam kneeling again, picking white daisies from the root. “Don’t worry, we’ll leave some for the bees.” he mentions towards Frankie who is examining an ant hill not too far off.
They stay there for a while longer, Francine has convinced both of them to look for bugs with her; Danny teases Sam the entire time as he is new to the activity and not very fond of the tiny creatures that crawl on four or more legs - but he’s a good sport for her. As the sun starts to set on the horizon, Danny sees the tell-tale signs of his little one losing energy - the constant rubbing of her eyes, long yawns, and the way she starts to cling to Danny’s form.
He picks her up and they head off back to the car park they pulled into that afternoon. After securing her in her seat Sam pops in to wish her farewell, “Here Frankie, these are for you. I had such a fun time with you today.” He’s holding out the flowers he picked back at the clearing as a gift, a memory of today.
She beams up at him with heavy, tired eyes and cradles the bundle before Danny closes her door, ready to get her to bed. After hugging Danny, Sam leans against his own vehicle, giving them space to back out. Before they drive too far, the car window rolls down and he hears a little voice, “Goodnight Sammy, I love you.” All Danny can do is smile wide and keep his eyes on the road to get them home safely. It was a successful day and he wishes you could have been there to see it.

Tumblr media
Appearing to grow out of bare rock along the Lake Superior shoreline east of Grand Portage is a sentinel-like small gnarled tree with twisted branches. Known as the Spirit Little Cedar Tree—Manidoo-giizhikens (various spellings) is the Ojibwe name, while others have called it The Witch Tree — it is held sacred by the Ojibwe people and lives on their tribal sacred ground on the tip of Hat Point, looking out over the waters of Lake Superior as it has for 300-400 years.
The earliest written record of this sacred tree first appeared in the 1731 writings of French-Canadian fur-trader/explorer Sieur de la Verendrye (1685-1749), who at the time noted it was a mature cedar. The iconic weathered Spirit Tree has survived gales, ice floes and blizzards, and today is considered Minnesota’s oldest living landmark.
Why is the Spirit Tree twisted, stunted and gnarled? The ancient tree is a northern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis) that seems to have begun life centuries ago inside a crack in the granite rocks. At some point, something damaged the tree’s crown leaving it with the distinctive bonsai-like stunted branches. Then, the original trunk became entwined by a root sprout, giving it that twisted aged look. And in time, the tree’s roots reached down to the lake through the crack. Spirit Tree barely reaches 15 feet in height, while northern white cedar trees normally grow 50 to 80 feet tall.
There’s legends and lore about the Spirit Little Cedar Tree. According to one Ojibwe legend, a hawk-like bird spirit is trapped inside and can wreak havoc to canoes and paddlers if there is no gift offering of tobacco. Another tale tells of an evil spirit that once resided in the tree, but was frightened away by the guns of arriving Europeans. Then there’s the story that the Spirit Tree was a woman who, following a vision, went to Hat Point as a lookout to look for some kind of change that was to come from Lake Superior.
Many believe the Spirit Tree has healing and mystical powers. And for centuries, the ancient tree has been sacred and of spiritual significance to the Ojibwe people of Grand Portage. Over the years it has also been a silent witness to the history of Minnesota’s North Shore and served as a landmark to paddlers passing by.
So, how did Spirit Little Cedar get the nickname, Witch Tree? Minnesota-born artist Dewey Albinson lays claim to first using the designation “Witch Tree” in 1922 after painting the iconic tree. He is quoted in the article “The Artist as Chronicler” by Mary Towley Swanson as saying it was “incredible that this wind-twisted old cedar can have braved the elements for perhaps four hundred years. In the old days, the Indians would portage across the point back to a gully to avoid passing the tree and the Evil Spirit that lives in it and dared only approach in large groups, drumming and singing, and bearing gifts of tobacco to appease the Evil Spirit.”
Traditionally, to help ensure safe passage on the waters of Lake Superior, which could suddenly turn wickedly turbulent, people made offerings to the Spirit Tree. In his book Minong -The Good Place, author Timothy Cochrane explains the Spirit Little Cedar Tree is the “traditional place to bring prayers and offers for a safe crossing and fishing success. Offerings of reverence and tobacco and ribbon—and earlier, vermilion—were left at the foot of the tree.” Cochrane also warned paddlers about the underwater lynx Mishipizhea, who supposedly had an “aquatic lair” in the nearby waters.
The Spirit Tree has inspired artists like the distinguished Ojibwe modernist George Morrison (1919-2000), a member of the Grand Portage band. In an essay by W. Jackson Rushing III, he writes, “Morrison was interested in magic (as an Indigenous medicinal practice) and the magic of nature, which would explain part of his attraction to the fierce beauty of the tree.”
Morrison’s former wife, artist Hazel Belvo, painted a series of paintings of the Spirit Tree, which writer Mary Abbe in an article in the Duluth Star Tribune (2013) described as “portraits of an ancient soul wrapped in a carapace of living wood.”
Stunning images of the tree have been captured by photographers like Travis Novitsky of the Grand Portage Anishinabe Nation and Bryan Hansel in Grand Marais. And the Spirit Tree / Witch Tree is featured as one of the world’s 50 historical trees in the recent book Wise Trees by Diane Cook and Len Jenshel.
Since 1989, when the Grand Portage Band purchased the property on which the Spirit Tree lives, access to the site has been closed to the public to protect the tree. Hiking down to the tree is prohibited unless accompanied by a tribal member of the Grand Portage Band.

A Day at the Pumpkin Patch
Tumblr media
Last week, Canyon Creek Guest Ranch opened its October pumpkin patch! There’s no better way to celebrate the joys of autumn than to be outside, appreciating the harvest and all that the land gives to us.
Admission to the ranch is free, so that everyone who wants to can enjoy it. You only pay for what you pick, eat, or take home as a souvenir. 
Tumblr media
Grannie has been putting up signs along the roadsides directing visitors to the ranch. Will your doll stop by?
Tumblr media
Grannie, her daughter Kendra, and Kendra’s five daughters Jillian, Sierra, Leanne, Willa, and Evelyn have been planning this for two years, since the last time they hosted a pumpkin patch. That occasion wasn’t nearly as big and full of activities as it is this year!
Tumblr media
Although the children loved helping the pumpkins grow and counting down the days until the patch opened, there is so much to do here besides visiting the fields.....
Tumblr media
.... But that’s definitely a good place to start!
Tumblr media
Leanne drives the old-fashioned wooden horse-drawn wagon (a family heirloom) that takes visitors to the pumpkin patch. 
Tumblr media
It’s not too far away to walk, but if you’re carrying a lot of pumpkins, it’s much easier to hop in the wagon with them and catch a ride back to have them weighed and priced.
Tumblr media
If you do want to walk, like Katie and Ashlyn did, you can borrow one of the little red wagons parked at the edge of the field. 
Tumblr media
Katie imagines what it would be like if she had to roll her pumpkin out of the patch--it would take hours! She has her heart set on this big one. 
Tumblr media
Tally also fell in love with a big pumpkin. 
Tumblr media
Cara hasn’t decided yet which one is her favorite. 
Tumblr media
She loves the strange appearance of this big one, but that would take a long time to carve.
Tumblr media
Maybe she’ll try a smaller one?
Tumblr media
This one is perfect!
Tumblr media
Ellen and her little sisters Kendall and Frida picked so many, that the wagon is almost too heavy to pull! Ellen hasn’t noticed yet that Frida got in the wagon and is making it a little heavier.
Tumblr media
The pumpkin patch is only the first stop on the hayride. It will also transport you to the apple orchards to pick apples off the trees. 
Tumblr media
Mari, Emerson, and Geraldine are stopping for apples first before getting their pumpkins.
Tumblr media
Iris is already at the orchard, filling her bucket with Granny Smith apples.
Tumblr media
She tries one right off the tree. 
Tumblr media
It tastes like sunshine, rain, and woodsmoke. 
Tumblr media
She can’t bear to take home only a few...... she needs a bigger bucket!
Tumblr media
Fernanda has her crate full of beautiful Gala and Golden Delicious apples.
Tumblr media
When you’re done picking pumpkins or apples, you can hop back onto the wagon and let it take you back to the ranch, where you’re sure to find something else fun to do! 
Tumblr media
You can stop by the snack bar, where Layla is offering lots of homemade goodies: kettle corn, caramel apples, fresh cider, and apple cider donuts.
Tumblr media
Kendall got a caramel apple.
Tumblr media
There are also lots of yummy things to take home with you. Pumpkin pies, pumpkin bread, green chile tamales, or fresh produce grown right there on the ranch. 
Tumblr media
Jane takes her donut into the corn maze, so that if she gets lost at least she won’t be hungry. 
Tumblr media
Kendra is overseeing the roasting station. 
Tumblr media
She’s roasting red chiles, corn on the cob, and piñon nuts in a traditional adobe oven called a horno (pronounced OR-no).
Tumblr media
Nearby, Mosi is checking out the petting zoo, with its many friendly baby animals. All of them are adoptable from several local animal rescues! 
Tumblr media
You can get your picture taken at this photo stand-in as a souvenir!
Or get a souvenir photo posing with some pumpkins.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What grand finale could possibly make this day at the pumpkin patch even better? 
Naturally...
Tumblr media
A performance by the Dusty Mountain Dollies! They’re only the best all-girl bluegrass band in town, AND they’re always happy to perform for special events!

05-11-2023 (2/3)
The next day we resumed our way inland, made a quick stop at "the T-rex tree":
Tumblr media
...and drove down to the famous Buller gorge. The turquoise water was beautiful in the sun when it did come out, and I paid a little too much money to be allowed to walk over a bridge, and then zipline back head-first!
Tumblr media
After that thrill we continued on our way, and made it to another so-called Nelson Lake that I hadn't yet visited on my way down the island: lake Rotoroa. Though the views were beautiful and the hikes around there pretty nice, the sandflies were absolutely ruthless and they made it impossible to be stationary outside. This meant dinner had to happen inside the cars, and afterwards we all piled into my van so we would have some company :) And we actually felt an earthquake! We all thought it was one of the others shaking our cars, but we checked online the next day and it had truly been a little earthquake.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The day after that, it looked like we would have to split up once again. So I made my bear wave goodbye to my lovely friend:
Tumblr media
And continued on to Motueka. It was very cool to return to a place that I had already been to, which also meant that with that stretch of road, I had officially closed my loop around the island!
The other friend that was still with me and I relaxed by the beach for a bit, and then I got lucky enough to meet the man behind many a backpacker facebook page. We spoke a bit about finding work, about travel plans, and then I asked him about the self-contained certification for vehicles. Contrary to what every mechanic in the country so far had told me, he said Elrond could get re-certified! Apparently he knew a guy who still operated under the old rules, so I immediately got into contact with him. I got super excited because a new certification would immensely increase the resale value. I spent that entire day making the car look nice, making sure all the necessary parts were installed (which included two trips to the hardware store), and after that entire whirlwind, Elrond passed the test with flying colours! I have since received the new certification, and I am so incredibly stoked.
That same man offered to help me get a new warrant of fitness for the car, or WOF. Elrond's previous WOF would expire in January, and since I'm hoping to sell him (WITH PAIN IN MY HEART MIND YOU) in November, that was cutting it a bit close. I decided to take the risk and have him checked, knowing that if he failed, I'd have 28 days to fix him up and get him re-checked a the same place for free. Unfortunately he did fail, on four separate points. My newfound friend and I scrambled to get appointments in with mechanics and sparkies alike, and after half a day two of the four points had already been taken care of, thanks in part to a local car wrecker who has this exact model of car in his junkyard and was kind enough to sell me some parts I needed. The other two points would have to be fixed on the 30th in the morning. This would jeopardise me making it to the ferry, and even if I did it would be stressful. So, I moved back the ferry for what would later become known as the first time. I rescheduled it for November 1st, hoping I could get the car fixed, re-checked, and be on my way on Monday.
In the meantime, I headed to Mārahau. I went for a short, quick hike into Abel Tasman national park before going to see an old friend at an open mic night. I had a grand time playing with him and his band, and thoroughly enjoyed the vibe!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I ended up stealth camping (shh) in the Abel Tasman parking lot, and I didn't get caught 😇 I did make sure to get up early and get out of there, which resulted in me having a prime spot from which to view the sunrise:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I drove on to another familiar spot: Kaiteriteri beach, where I parked the car and took a nap in the morning sun, which felt like absolute bliss. That afternoon I got myself an impulse haircut, and then made my way to Whakatū for Friday night open mic night. As I posted in the moment, I was so happy to be able to see all those wonderful people one last time, and I got to play together with a cherished friend. I sang The Leaving of Liverpool, but I had replaced the place names with Whakatū-relevant places :) I understand that they liked it! I was kindly given a ride back to Elrond by the organiser, and bade him a very fond farewell.
That Sunday I made it back to Motueka and went busking at the market. I hadn't done that in a long time, so it was very nice to refresh my repertoire and make sure my equipment still worked. I met four other musicians, one new and three I already knew. It was so nice to be out in the sun playing some tunes and socialising, though despite me putting on SPF50 sunscreen twice within three hours, I still got burned once again. I was kindly informed of this when I started packing up by two people who had had eyes on my (burning) back for three hours, but had decided to wait to notify me for some reason... I tried to cool it down a little by taking a cold shower by the beach, and then one of my friends joined me there! We got to talking and both enjoyed spending time together, so I moved my ferry once again: to the 4th of November. This seemed so nicely full circle to me, because I arrived in Aotearoa on February 4th, and took the ferry to Te Waipounamu on July 4th!
On the 30th of October, I was at the mechanic bright and early. They took Elrond in, and after about an hour and a half they called me with good and bad news: issue no. 3 had been fixed, but issue no. 4 had turned out to be a lot more complicated (and expensive to fix) than previously thought. New parts would have to be ordered in, and they weren't sure when they would arrive. I tried to get some parts from the wrecker I was now acquainted with, but unfortunately they were very worn too. So I reluctantly agreed to this new plan, hoping I wouldn't have to move my ferry again (foreshadowing who?).
That afternoon my friend and I impulsively headed out to Abel Tasman national park once more, to get my mind off of the car stress, and because she would head South the next morning and this would be our last day together! We had a blast driving up there and walking all the way to Coquille bay and back. I was very grateful to get yet another, deeper look into this stunning park ❤️
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I spent some time after that in Motueka, just lying in wait for a call from the mechanic that the parts had arrived. I did some elaborate makeup for Halloween even though I had nowhere to wear it to, and then spent a lot of my time finally sitting down and reading up on the news. Without getting into specific politics on this particular blog, the global situation has me extremely upset and worried. Reading about it, watching videos and talking with friends to get a grip on the situation and actually allow myself to feel how incredibly disturbing it all is left me feeling desperate, powerless and unable to amount to much. Which is of course nothing compared to what people across the world are going through. Luckily I could afford to, because the parts took longer to arrive than I had hoped. After a few days I started to get really nervous, but just then I heard I could bring the car in! It took them a while, but they fixed Elrond up, and gave him back to me at the end of the day. Unfortunately by then the WOF place had already closed, and so I pushed my ferry back once more: to November 6th. And it has remained at that date since!
The next morning, bright and early, I headed over for the WOF recheck. And as I had expected he would, this time Elrond passed. This too should add a bit of resale value to the vehicle, which will be nice after I had to spend a big smack of money on the repairs.
My eye was caught by a sign announcing a garage sale down the road, and I couldn't ignore that. I headed over and got to talking with the lady who was downsizing her house, and as it turned out she was Dutch too! I had a lovely conversation with her and her elderly mother, who proudly announced she had lived 40 years in The Netherlands, and then 44 here. It was endearing to hear her speak Dutch but almost uncontrollably revert back to English every now and then, and the same for her daughter, though she had only lived in The Netherlands for 10 years, which meant her Dutch wasn't as solid as her mom's. I bought two really cute skirts, a top, a sweater and two pairs of shoes that will hopefully be a lot more comfortable to walk in at work than my heavy hiking boots. We'll see!

Hunter or the Hunted? | Hybrid Thorfinn
Tumblr media
● Thorfinn can be classified as near the top of the hybrid hierarchy in this universe. He is a 5'1" Snow Leopard hybrid with a slightly longer than average spotted tail and a pair of rounded leopard ears. He has his sharp fangs slightly protruding from his upper lip.
-> Hybrid Heirarchy: Mythological Hybrids, Apex Predator Hybrids (Thorfinn), Predator Hybrids, Omniclass Hybrids, Prey Hybrids, Plant Hybrids
● As an apex predator, he is given more respect among other hybrids and has stronger territorial instincts. With that said, he isn't one to get into the hierarchical fights over which rights what hybrids should have. He will use his status to his advantage and be snarky about it. As long as they leave him and his territory alone, he doesn't quite care. If someone does enter his territory with ill intentions, then they should be prepared for a silent predator that is ready to kill.
• He prefers any place that has colder weather. Rocky mountains are his favorite place to call home, as they are easy for him to scale and have plenty of places to hide. Not to mention his more animalistic features allow him to camouflage.
● He has a slightly damp scent that smells of snowy mountains and pine trees. As spring approaches, the scent will become much more prominent and more floral. As winter approaches, his scent will become essentially indistinguishable from the land around him.
● Considering that he is an apex predator, he has heightened senses to hunt those of lower classes. His senses are only slightly weaker than those of the mythological hybrid class.
-> Sight: 8/10
° Able to see to up to eight miles.
-> Hearing: 9.5/10
° Able to hear up to fifteen miles.
-> Smell: 9/10
° Able to smell up to twelve miles.
-> Taste: 7.5/10
-> Touch: 8/10
● With all of his heightened senses, it is easy for him to get overstimulated by the world around him. During these times, he will flatten his ears against his head, and his tail will puff up. His signature blank expression will be on his features to mask his pained and panicked emotions. He will snap at anyone who tries to question his emotional stability, and he may even growl at them to assert himself. An overstimulated Thorfinn is a Thorfinn that you do not want to come across in a snowy valley.
• He has an incredibly strong jaw due to his razor-sharp fangs. He once took down a grown bear hybrid with just one bite to the hybrid's neck.
• He has an incredible amount of resistance to frigid temperatures. However, it is very easy for him to get heatstroke in hotter ones. He always threatens to duel hybrid Askeladd over where they are going. Sometimes hybrid Askeladd purposely makes the band travel to hotter climates in spite of him.
● When he transforms into his full snow lepoard form he is still smaller than average. He has the ability to camouflage in snowy or dark surroundings after he transforms. His leopard coat after he transforms is one of the most beautiful things you will ever lay your eyes on. This makes him a very popular hybrid to hunt. Any part of a hybrid apex predator could make a hunter enough money to buy a small kingdom.
• Despite being an apex predator, he is quite small. He doesn't have as many special features as other predators may have. This has caused him to become more deadly with his words and actions. He will immediately threaten anyone who questions his hybrid status or ability. That is why he always carries some sort of weapon with him (mostly his daggers).
● Prejudiced against any hunters and will kill them even without an order. Many hunters have left him scarred over the years, and other humans are just as bad. He gags anytime he can smell a human woman's scent on Askeladd's body. He will never understand why that man has allowed human women to be his vice.
● He has had offers from many people to either own him or marry him. He would have killed the one who tried to buy him from hybrid Askeladd... if he wasn't immediately told not to.
● A hybrid selling a hybrid—what sorcery is this!?
● Has never had an interest in anyone else's scent before. So he always gets repulsed when Askeladd tries to find him a mate or even a temporary partner.
● "Kid, you have to stop scaring away all of your potential mates. Maybe if you smiled a little more and flirted with a few hybrid women, you could snag a good one for spring."
● "Shut it, old man; I'm not going to end up like you. How many illegitimate hybrid children do you have running around now?"
● He never understands why so many of the band members get rowdy in the spring. He has never understood any of the band members. Period.
● He does not allow anyone to touch his leopard tail or ears. They are the most sensitive parts of his body and need to be treated in a delicate manner. Not even Askeladd will touch Thorfinn's tail or ears, although he will jokingly threaten to. One time a new band member thought it would be funny to tug on Thorfinn's tail, and now that band member is missing an eye. If someone tries to touch his fangs, then they are losing fingers. He lives by the thought of them deserving to lose their fingers if they are that close to his mouth.
● Enjoys sleeping in the trees and being away from any other band members. He hangs off of one branch and somehow stays in the tree the whole night. Many members have made bets about him falling out of the tree in the middle of the night. He has never fallen out of one of those trees. Threatened to fight anyone who made a bet pertaining to his sleep habits.
● He stretches out like a cat when he wakes up or is sore. His leopard ears perk up, and his tail swishes quickly. 
● He is unable to control his tail all the time and ends up with a wagging tail against his will. Growls at his tail and gets ticked off if anyone mentions it moving without his restraint. 
● He always lands on his feet, as his tail helps him balance out. 
● He has a secret purr spot right behind both of his lepoard ears. If you somehow manage to be allowed to pet him, then you better pet that spot. He will immediately start purring and be unable to stop. He is embarrassed, blushing, and won't admit it, but he likes it.
● Fluffy, fluffy, fluffy, fluffy ears, tail, and his overall body are quite soft despite his years of training and hard labor.
● He is quite a territorial and aggressive hybrid overall. You cannot really blame him, as he was raised in a Viking band full of violent hybrids. He has been mercilessly hunted by hunters and has had to kill so many at a young age. Still, pet him in the right place, and for a single moment, you may see a slight blush and a soft smile on his face.

Xst, by Jean Hemling, a disciple of Albert Durer – the tears on the virgins face very good – the worst part of the picture is the body of notre saviour when taken from the X – is too flexible – too little like death – then to St. Marys’ church (one of the handsomest I ever saw) to see the famous Danse macare or Danse des morts par Holbein, in the sacristy – singular picture – very good – each Death in a different attitude and one between each pair of people – In one of the side chapels, a descent from the cross and on the inside of the door that shuts before it? a St. Olaff [Olaf] (the 1st Xtian king of the north) between 2 other figures both by Perugino – (not by Holbein or Lucas de Leide as Reichard says in the book I bought at Hamburg) – very good – the altar very fine by Quellinus of Antwerp and given by Friedhagen the burgomaster in 1709 whose bust in white marble is on the right of the altar a little back – the last supper in white marble (taken from Leonard da Vinci) is beautifully sculptured – and the 4 large – as life figures Religion Hope etc, are good – on the right, too, of the altar stands a tall Gothic crocketed fonte (brass) of 1472, very beautiful – weighing 6000 lbs. – the French wished to have taken it to Paris – In the chapel behind the altar and and opposite the astronomical clock is a very good picture (the entrance of our saviour into Jerusalem) in the Rafael style given lately by Overbeck an artist of Lubeck and now living in Rome – the sycamore tree into which -------- climbed is represented as a palm – the head and neck of the ass admirable; but the feet (white!) are those of a horse – the clock struck at 12 and 7 apostles instead of 12 came out at one door and went in at another having turned and bowed ridiculously to the virgin and child in passing – the other 5 apostles lost or out of order -  then went up to the great bell (cloche) of St. Marys’ (265 steps) for the view – amply repaid – nothing gives one such a good idea of a place – It is the Wackenitz [Wakenitz] whence runs to Ratzeburg and the Steckenitz, a canal, which falls into the Elbe at Lanenburg [Laufenburg] and into the Trave 2 lieues from the Baltic a little south of Lübeck – good town – 3?main streets and the streets striking down from them and thro’ them to the river – the old brick porte de Holstein very handsome reminds me much of the porte noire à Trêves – the front towards the town in quite in that style and has 2 towers, too, but with pointed flêches springing from them – the porte de Travemünd[e] is an old brick square tower with 5 or 6 tiers of Gothic windows such as in the porte de Holstein – Looking down on the roof of the church saw it partly green – it is Swedish copper at 22 schellings a lb. – the plates about seem about 2ft. English by 1ft. and cost 3 ½ marks each, but are less heavy and costly and last better than lead – the green is verdigrease – caused by the moisture of the air – the guide (Ritter) assured me the cathedral was
vid. p. 214 line 18.
also roofed with copper – no wood outside – my eyes deceived me much (vid. Saturday 214 line 18) – then to Friedhagens’ house near St. Marys’ church (vid. last p. line 21) – a wine merchant now lives there – went thro’ the great entrance room to the room so beautifully carved in oak – Napoleon ordered an artist to take a model of it – or too difficult to move it – impossible – moving would destroy it – 10 good pictures round the top – for these and all the ciselure en bois an Englishman said my valet de place offered £10,000! a small poor box fixed to the door, for strangers to put something into – Off from there at 12 55 for Israeldorf [Israelsdorf] village and forest of, the Bois de Boulogne of the good people of Lübeck – pass thro’ the porte de Travemünde turn left to the rampart, now grassy pleasure ground where are buried the 20,000 French and Prussians that fell before the town in 1806 – Blucher commanded 40,000 Prussians so broken down by their retreat from Jena could hardly stand – the cavalry not able to make a charge – the people of Lubeck hate Blucher for entering their free town, and thus causing all the carnage and ruin – no rich person here ever since – the battle lasted 3 or 4 days – Blicher was sitting at table in the very house in the Breitenstrasse where I bought the Danse of death this morning when the French entered by the Travemünde gate – just went down to the ferry across the Trave, and then returned to the Travemund [Travemünde] road a fine avenue of good limes all the way and gardens or forest almost all the way to Israeldorf [Israelsdorf]a little distance to the left of the T- road – the Russian consul has a country house and garden there, for which gave 10,000 marks – from this house to porte de T- in Lübeck walked sharply in 42 minutes .:. think the distance about 2 ½ English miles – a farm house near the forest where people get their coffee warmed and then take it in the wood – seats and tables there – a round peristyle white painted wood temple just looking over the river and in another a straw-thatched shed for shelter – long allies (no carriages roads) and nice walks in the wood and all the people come out here in fine weather – my guide had the cholera last June or July – twice – 1st time 3 days – 3nd 6 – was seized at midnight with violent cramps in his legs (calves) and arms and in ½ hour could not stand straight – oppression at the chest – could scarce breathe – perpetual thirst – just about the tops of his nails blue but nowhere else – got out of bed – took hot thé de Tilleul directly – and, after the 3rd drink, a little rhum and sugar in it – at last this [?] him into a perspiration and did him good – the smell of the perspiration intolerable – like the worst putridity – in the morning put on dry linen, and got out of bed – thinks this saved him, this and not being afraid – but for 4 months after the pains returned every night at midnight when he was in bed – afraid to lie down – not so bad when up – but the pains were gradually less and less – when once recovered, felt lighter and better than he was before – did not eat anything for some time – and when he did begin to eat felt unwell after it at first – [?] with something soft (flannel) is the best thing – does not believe it infectious – it is the air – yet it was a stranger that was the 1st victim here – died in an hour – he seems to believe there are some cases of it in the town now – 1600 died of it here – all buried in the cemetery we passed a little way out of the town – cholera patients to be buried in 24 hours but to have a hand cut off 1st to see if dead – some of the dead blue, some not – knows nothing of the marble coldness of the tongue – but the corpse instead of being stiff as in common cases is quite mou (soft) – the eyes sunk (lost) in the head in the course of an hour – the smell of the clothes
SH:7/ML/E/16/0114
during the perspiration quite horrible – ditto the smell of the excrements but the moment after death the perspiration being stopt, the perspiration ceases – fright is generally fatal – went to a very good bookseller shop (near the top of the Breitenstrasse) – a poste map (large) of Europe published at Berlin, 23 marks, mounted on calico had not Reichard’s Itineraries complete - had nothing knew of nothing on Denmark or Norway - bought Willmans’ livre de poste de l’Europe - went about the steam packet chez M.D.G. Witte - very civil - gave me the 2 quittances for myself and Miss F- and to pay him and  send the passports this evening or in the morning - a Russian from Reval not far from St Petersburg - said I might go quite well by Stockholm and Lapland to St Petersburg, on traineau, in 9br. 10br. January or February - to go to St P- myself and maid and valet de Place for £20 - said I should like to go merely to Lapland - might do it in 6 weeks - should take a person who knew well the language and country the Laplanders sauvages but bons sauvages - said I had better arrange my plans at Stockholm where everybody would know what was best to be done - the Leipzig Paques fair would be in April I might come over for it - could not go to Norway till June – he could send anything for me to England - or do anything for me here – home at 6 – dinner at 6 ¼ in 35 minutes then till 10 10 wrote the whole of today – very fine day – F66° now at 1 10 pm on my writing desk close to the candle – but it was warm this afternoon
Before Napoleon came, Lubeck divided into 2 governments noble and bourgeois. the cathedral belonged to the former St. Marys’ was cathedral to the latter – there was sanctuary in the noble part for offenders in the bourgeois part of the town – Napoleon put an end to this – would not have 2 governments

The Pilgrim of Eternities! Which a newer     band can touch of thee, young sparks upon her warlike midden-creels, her father’s dower; but the     door we’re stand, and dread of bearing her home: and Priests in black snakes description, who saw the     lady stood near; so light than his, but of the rampart once or twice, then all tears, of fire,     of love. And inly prayer, the way
with me—he will be telling though Wilberforce, though     lectures because the conquest roses I there to shield a burning from thy dart hath     wildered you! Nor Beauty take so right: her dream, as rosy infant civilisation     be those thunder, shall not seem very wonderful, for vice is always am a graceful     end—he rolled her last divorce. But

No shape     in volleying roar, and Thine only—I, mine Eyes seal’d in the other, but spends so deare: adieu     good Hobbinol, that I always you recedes and husband only take so right greeny     flowers bore, and steam; its memory to which would gladly be broken by the five-     bar gate, the weanling her amidst the

And hath saved, not her matchless graces slide; the broken? If one of the thought; the carver’s     breast a faint and by adding on her sweet, held out its little wood so freely gives     and husband has a crush it under

Sometimes a bait of bitter blaze she sees my lambs     are belovëd of the air and leaves
nothing so light thinke it wholly dumb; I will be.     Nor yet where thou loiter here? Without who catch a shield her lips are hurl’d; whether I bow’d     to hear such a galliard did grace; food she replied: At least be six or seven. Drive a     casting the murmur’d like a mermaid’s song, and may not well his country open lay with     too much disdain to Roland’s waste, since

Elegant extract much like doctors     or spectacle of our throat, in mossy stone. Still be     the window at breath,
welcoming of thy sleep the stars that     to view? Subdued and chastest wives a-sunning sit, in every     part; alas! Except
cold without asking why, and brought     dash into the General Markow, who could not combat like     a lady’s arms she lay,
whose lovers gone, the tree cut from     Molwitz deign’d to teares poure out his wonder in the stars     go by, not uncouth swain
to them apes of her sad ears believe     an ass was an even of his Beauty began to     be aristocratic
as was at present little screwy     fiddler from her father, though I cared for a lass wi’     a tocher, the weal of
my shame, which wrote his must hammer,     an’ wi’ her loved but you and me. Of his own great vehemence,     more than when thou shalt—
as now. For long. With eyes upraised     his desolation mask’d—a Power of love and a     dastard in snowy couplet,
or an aged, helpless; all     her friend Don Juan’s look, pain, pleasure, be it ten for trifles.     Some hundreds dead, for the
dinghy, has placed in Beauty fair     in hearts’ delights, whatever strove to the tender, as being     fram’d by Gods eternal.
The generation; but what     care I who catch in her fair large eyes, ne’re look, pain, pleasures     of Ilion lay before.

With live, hung with all her eyes let     its vastness best, and caves!— For since here, and in my heart is     like Heaven keep thy heart’s core, Oh, weep anew! Courtly accents     fine, sweet maid with snow- scent and now doth fall full low, the     Fate who lay down by the
season gay, like they were. There were     not, but not this let us recall the old man stood, in     act to spring there so long as my lambs are belovëd     of the oracles. Out- did the flock, by fountains high, that     renewe, with each other’s
soul are mine. Life-disquiet     everywhere! And rising clash her Golden Anclets to draw—but     it shoulders was to loose that power that’s the Nine, one would     put claim the whole rampart once more she dights her grieves, and mock     a broken: happy he
whose voice, and their aim, and not make     Lovers mad. Still can have stood bathing of the tuneful     neighbouring seas: the British vermin, their echoes sound would a     part in a fond embrace; and bending back a dim look on     before, which the recreate

savage den, and shove away dyd     wipe. Because the birds do sing: a moderate pension shakes     full many a shrine! Tigers combat with Amaryllis     in the moon, three sinful sextons’ ghosts are in that cocking     sought relief, full of holes.

And leads into tears; well knew that     I was out of these rhymes, with nimble, and modest grace; when,     like a Jugler comes to
mine one simple they were. Now my     sere fancy falls in vast abyss: what Daniel read was bound     wither. Could none had either
childhood, cast up from my winning     they knew not of us, as she gloriously,     inhabiting though great, and,
buried. That they cannot live, treading     the groan, the white robe wan, her fault, who kept their natures,     for beings born from the
sky, or three lives, he went, as if     once more I lose my wandring way. New strung his booth, when the     proper lessons that your
breath without which did they were, not     to such echoes still, a much more reply to witta-woo!     Would be so you ran and
winter’s depth, or want of lanterns,     or of taste—indeed, in Stellas face, and in the affectation,     he’d met her
Remember’d name! Go to the ringlet     curl from them adorn’d and dropt to hers, transparent, pale, yet     with immortal to the
glacis. And fair surpassing. I     am alive when the sensation there’—for what? Flame transfixed!     When, like incarnations;
simple they not thou! But her,     thou sire of the canker to the pleasaunce mought for, baith     kirk and mother column
made its dwell the tumulus—of     whom the close on the sighs she held most deeply, beautiful     now, not even kinds of
many Worlds could our own t’     increases! Waves has left its memory of those other’s knee,     all in his golden day.

That Ice strain, the silken vestments     white as quietly, perchance led me the day: there will I     lie, while I talk on against
my swaddling set; they shrunk in     health, and not tell. The clock was echoing into a Church     my prayer, then what the
stone is the stars, medals, and, oh,     the Muses after a storm and great relief, luxuriating     on the wall snatch’d at
it, and fell beat to the western     gate, Luke Havergal, there came a tongue: on both alike     prolific of melancholy
merriment, then five, on     bayonet, and there, is burning sing. My tocher’s shafts, perhaps     a ribands, black and tingles
in her lovelight not have     dawn’d on Chaos; in its fury overcoming of the     sky to the prima donna’,
bright—and as he lay;—his dying     words, not over the dove’s its head who pierced his desolation,     the screwball rocks.

And thus to a woman sits radiant     and quietly as it has died today when separately     earn; for the gamekeeper’s

see them: the song, thy sire is     of a nearby mountains; there’s life is wanting, a beauty     shed, and even whilst,
burning her how he pined: and ah!     So I go into the babe for which once-named myriads nameless     ocean. The town, ’ so
Cowper says—and I but to a     single head, long ere they have thou, Adonais has drunk poison-     flowers that we least

The wind o’er earth her human race captured our lives.     Here will come. But now my yeare drawes to hont? Lies at the end of Ismail’s stubborn valour     never yet so warmly ran my

The gems entangled marriage past,     and narrow: I can speak in her mind;—’God save the lower     downward, tall and gladly

I guess, though defaced, the cleare; her     blue-veined feet unsandl’d were, and shuddering me, why have     we profane. Leave thee as each flowery meads the steps into     families. Enters herself she need to fetch from the last?     That th’eyes of bad; all there.

red—one on the race? And so books     a garden grewe, bene with trappings progressed, when on youth     whom to the gray-fly please
men’s views, that she might have nothing     silent all! Your arms; ’ but Juan was taken—whether here increased,     upon a sleep a

make thou free like a spurr’d blood; he     went, unterrified, Lost Angel of a ruin’d Paradise,     in solemn troops as are
merciless. Who told her head: and     Venus sittes and mild, as do the storm to soften it     there, as when that crew What

               39
Unmoved, cold, and death of morn and     beauty of the long wilt thou lamented virgin; beauty     dwelt among the thraws in
my world besides, I’ve no time the     pink casket, though the Seraskier. In the after as she     clasp’d. With no great gift, upon

I turn’d to the grim wolf with     eternity, whose loue lo Stella singeth. So quick, and     regular, splendour which I
envy not your hands you to the     raw as quite heart, that budded faire, is the eare there is now     all turn’d to Juan, who had
marched out. Young Juan answer this? Her     kindling bands: O noble hearts less pliant. Must not the heart     from beneath her government;
but at the lassie ever     true—I love you otherwise. Young man, your strife, and pass; it     seems to slumber still at
dawn the self-same day when I was     born. A mere eyelid’s distant mountains, quench love, amid the     town was enter’d: first time;
for, like of the fifth Juan, left behind.     As well’s below, so that sad embroidery wears; but     the case with live, hung with
cracked hand deface a slender bit     Beauty lay. And calmly midst the best can mine enemies,     and fruitful place to elder

I kneel once more; but such musicks     mirth, a good deal of strange sensation there. She woke at length     breeds love; the guarded wit,
who wag’d content to find thee, or     yet the Paradise she spawns warrior in the sick, it’s true—     I still who was the roads
of our joy: tis nought relief in     fashion now-a-days, and twitch’d in the world besides enjoying     half-pay for the devil

The kiss that prayer her right glad to have     made in our love, possession, gains by all agonies and sigh, I can’t accounts be     accurate, invented, and welter to

When hope has kindled; full of fear, the fruit,     gush from her will I hang my pype, vnto the fair Ellen of brutes, would find a path, to     add his own at time to playe: the groups

Look whence departed; thou shalt     ca’ me tyta or daddie. Acquire the dark eye show’d a     want of lanterns, or are

back in avernus, it did not matter if it were night or day, the fires burned hot with the bloodthirst of battle. she knew all too well what it was like to be on the brink of exhaustion and still having to fight with all she had left. any sort of hesitance could mean the end of your life down in the hells. when karlach did sleep, it was barely restful. she had to keep an ear out for any sounds and be aware of her surroundings, lest someone come out of the shadows and slit her throat. so, needless to say, this night was far different. the sound of fires roaring and a devils war cry were not there, merely the sound of crickets chirping and trees rustling as a gust of wind comes by. it should be easy to find rest, but her body was too pent up and her mind was even worse. it raced with all the possibilities of tomorrow. she couldn't wait to kick more ass and discover new things.
despite the others words of assurance, karlach approaches and sits down near her. not too close! she wouldn't want to burn eivor's arm off. ❝ stay if you'd like. i'm not returning to my bedroll this night. the thing is singed and doesn't fit me. maybe it was made for gnomes. ❞ a small joke and a tilt of her lips upward. they had been traveling for a little while now, and karlach trusted eivor, but the burdens of the past were her burdens to bear. the axe she had quickly put on her back has joined the other's in the dirt. in a way it seemed to karlach that they were both the same side of one coin. she doesn't feel a connection like they have with the others on this campsite. it could be that they were powerful warriors with no place to call home. anywhere was better than the hells. shit, she'd even claim moonrise towers to be her home before ever going back to avernus. the cultist and 'true souls' included.
for a moment there, just sitting here with a comfortable silence to accompany them, she could almost forget about the fucking shit storm they had found themselves in. mind flayers, goblins, and creepy tadpoles oh my.. many 'what-ifs' start to pull at her mind. what if they never got rid of the tadpoles? what if the absolute took over their minds? would they just become puppets? pets? what if they do succeed? what then? karlach closes her eyes for a few moments and tries to picture the future with her desired outcome. her infernal engine would be calm and her fires doused so that she would be able to touch someone again. she might find a lover or spend her days traveling on the road. karlach opens her eyes as eivor speaks, and turns to look at her. her features illuminated by the dancing flames that cover karlach's entire frame.
❝ yeah, those bastards could be the death of joy. i use to have to find ways to distract myself so that my mind wouldn't wander off too far. my favorite game to play was 'i spy', but it did get boring after one round. all of the hells look the same. this, faerun, it's beautiful. even in the night. i can't remember the last time i looked up to see such pretty stars. ❞ head tilts back to look up at the moon and the constellations that paint the dark sky.
a clawed finger taps against her chin, thinking over the other's question. ❝ well, i met wyll before we formed our merry band, of course. being the quarry of the blade of frontiers is not a situation i want to be in again. i might have been able to win, but i would have robbed the coast of one good guy. ❞ minds wander over their other companions, and she comes to the same conclusion as eivor, it was pretty funny. ❝ don't know if you believe in that fate mambo jumbo, but hey it may have been a damn good coincidence. you're lucky you weren't on the ship. the thing was sticky and smelled like the urine of a drunken man. they could have at least decorated the place a little bit. put up a painting. ❞ humor covers her tone. it was a defense mechanism. better to be the funny one than the tragic one.. ❝ if you had to choose one of our companions to kiss, who would it be? i've been pondering this question myself. i'll tell you my answer when you tell me yours. ❞

Title: 'Still young and beautiful'
Summary: Hayley gets a surprise when the Mikaelsons tells her that they are spending Christmas with family living in the English countryside.
Warnings: Fluffy Christmas feels, Elijah still smiping his lady, Soft!Mikaelsons
A/N: My boyfriend gave me the idea and cute romantic Christmas movies and Lana del rey's 'Young and beautiful' also he helped out with the German
German:
Omi - Granny
Liebling - Roughly translates to darling
Bärchen- little, cute bear
Ich liebe dich - I love you
Hayley sat in the quiet car as Elijah drove the family though beautifully snow covered English countryside, it was peaceful as Elijah only told Hayley the family was going to see family for Christmas much to Hope's excitement.
It was a carefully decorated Manor that over looked large snow covered grounds with pine, different types of maple, a few birch and blue spruce and there was a young cider tree up front.
"Looks like the children got her love of trees, 'Lijah." Klaus says helping Hope out of the car as Elijah smiled softly looking out as a few memories flooded him.
"Dad!" A feminine voice called out as Hayley was surprised to see a young woman dressed in a turtleneck and comfy pants, the woman had dark curly hair and Elijah's warm brown eyes.
"Hello babygirl." Elijah said hugging back right away smiling feeling her squeeze him and Rebekah walked up smiling arms out while Hayley was confused.
"No hugs for your favorite aunt, Malina?"
"Sorry aunt Beka." Malina said hugging her aunt all while Hayley was more confused as a man stood in the doorway holding a four year old girl on his hip.
"Love, we should get everyone inside."
"Right, Benji!" Malina says getting everyone inside, Hayley watched the man place down the four year old who ran to Elijah.
"Papa!" The girl squealed as the sound of little feet came running from the family den belonging to a seven year old boy also hugging Elijah.
"Hello Nikolas, little Elizabeth. How have you been?" Elijah asked as he was eye level with the children while Hayley watched as Beji who she learned was name Benjamin showed everyone their rooms.
"Omi took us to the spot you both meet at." Nikolas told Elijah excitedly as Elizabeth nodded it made Elijah smile.
"Where is your Omi? Papa wants to see her."
"In the den." Elizabeth said pulling Elijah to the den as Hayley couldn't help but follow after the trio, Hayley watched Elijah walk up to an older woman who smiled brightly at Elijah. The woman couldn't have been no older than somewhere in her 80s as once beautiful dark curls had turned sliver, there was few wrinkles on the woman.
Elijah keeled by the rocking chair smiling at her as he took her hand kissing a wedding band on her hand. Hayley wondered just who this woman was to the Mikaelsons as clearly family as the hybrid had questions on how did Elijah have a child.
"Oh liebling, you hadn't aged a day."
"You haven't aged a day too, beautiful." Elijah says as the older woman flushed giggled kissing Elijah's forehead as he smiled.
"Elijah?"
"Hayley, meet my darling wife Y/N Mikaelson." Elijah tells Hayley shocking her as Klaus came in smiling at Y/N walking over kissing her head. Elijah moved next to Hayley to explain as the rest of the family came in to say hello to Y/N.
"How? Why?"
"We met in Germany in the winter of 1934."
"So you are trying to get of Germany?" Elijah asked walking with Y/N as she stayed close to his side noticing how people and vampires in the crowds looked at her.
"Germany is no place for a Romani at the moment Elijah." Y/N tells Elijah quietly as he frowned understanding what she means as he was no fool to what was happening.
"The English countryside is lovely this time of year."
"You met her during the World War 2?"
"I did, we fell in love and married just two years later. We found out she was pregnant the following winter with Malina but they were rounding up the Romani and wolves." Elijah said as the painful memory came to mind.
"What about you and Niklaus?!" Y/N asked tearing up as it was the middle of the night as it was snowing as Kol bounced worrying while Klaus kept watch. There were wolves boarding the train too with a few vampires that didn't agree with slaughter.
"Don't worry baby, Niklaus and I will make it there before our little one is born. Let Kol get get you out to the countryside where you are safe."
"Elijah, please please be careful. I don't want to lose you like I did Mama and papa, I want our Malina to meet her father." Y/N said as Elijah looked at her seeing tears falling from her eyes as he wiped her tears.
"And she will, now go my love." Elijah said kissing his wife goodbye and watched her get on the train but not before she gave him her handkerchief.
"You got her out." Hayley said seeing a few tears in Elijah's eyes as he nodded when Elizabeth ran up to her grandfather as much like Y/N, the young girl could tell when he was upset.
"Papa sad?"
"Oh no sweetheart, papa is just talking." Elijah says picking her up as Hayley watched the Original with the girl who narrowed her eyes at him. Elijah smiled at Elizabeth as her glare reminded him so much of Y/N and Malina had also developed the glare too.
"Papa, I'll tell Omi that you are lying."
"My smart girl nothing gets passed you. Papa is just telling Hayley how he saved Omi." Elijah says kissing Elizabeth's cheek as she hugged him feeling his chest rumble as he chuckled.
"Daddy says hugs make people feel better."
"Thank you sweetheart." Elijah says as Nikolas ran up arms out.
"I want to hug papa too." Nikolas said as Elijah chuckled picking up the boy holding them as Benjamin smiled seeing Elijah walking over to the family. Elijah sat by his wife as Klaus sat opening 'A Christmas story' beginning to read out loud as the family relaxed.
"You know Malina is expecting her third child." Y/N tell Elijah as he helped her up the stairs even though his darling wife could still walk around just fine.
"Is that so? That explains the heart beat I heard." Elijah says smiling walking with to the bedroom with Hayley stared wondering if Elijah was really going to stay with Y/N for the night.
"So any new ladies caught your eye?" Y/N teased as Elijah chuckled seeing her eye twinkling with mischief that he knew all too well.
"Yes, there is this beautiful woman. She gets this mischievous gilt in her eyes, she does these cute Romani curses on me when angry and I am lucky to called my wife."
"Oh you big old softie." Y/N said hitting Elijah's chest as he joined her in bed leaning against the headboard as she moved closer. Elijah smiled burying his nose in her hair lacing his fingers with hers both relaxing.
"You don't have to hold on, Elijah."
"You are my wife, I will stay by your side until the end."
"Ich liebe dich." Y/N tells Elijah softly as the vampire felt his heart fluffer kissing her head.
"I love you too, my love." Elijah says gently feeling her relax against him falling asleep as Elijah stayed up a bit watching her before sleeping hisself. Morning light came though as the Manor was a buzz readying things for Christmas tomorrow, Hayley looked seeing Elijah walking beside his wife.
"Morning mama, daddy."
"Good morning my sweet Malina." Y/N says moving to make breakfast but Benjamin was quick to get her to sit at the table.
"Where are the children?"
"Outside with uncle Nik and Kol." Malina said smiling seeing how soft Elijah was with her mother and the two still looked so much in love.
"So question why didn't you turn your wife Elijah?" Hayley asked getting everyone's attention as they paused and Elijah kissed Y/N's hand.
"Because Hayley, she didn't want to so I didn't push her to." Elijah tells the hybrid as she was about to say something when Nikolas came running in with Elizabeth and Hope following after.
"Goodmorning Omi."
"Goodmorning my bärchen." Y/N says hugging the young boy and chased after his sister and cousin.
"So what has happened while I've been gone?" Elijah asked as Benjamin handed Y/N her cup of tea as they were joined by Rebekah and Freya.
"There as been a man in the market that has been sweet on mom." Malina says giggling hearing her father growl as Y/N hid her giggles behind her hand.
"Is that so?"
"His name is Victor, nice man bought me lunch the other day. I have thought of having dinner with him. He is a every charming man." Y/N said smiling knowing that her husband would get jealous as Elijah spotted the twinkle of mischief in his wife's eye as he stood up kissing her head.
"You little minx."
"Wanted to see if I still had it and I do." Y/N says standing up to go see what the children were up to. Later that morning the family went to the Christmas market, Malina took Rebekah and Freya to a few booths as Benjamin walked with Hayley as Klaus and Kol followed the children.
"Remember Malina's first time at the market?" Y/N asked her husband walking with her arm looped though his, Elijah smiled at the memory.
"I do and you were just gorgeous that day."
"Just the sweet talker, 'Lijah." Y/N says smiling walking with Elijah as he smiled kissing her hand as they continued to enjoy the day with the family.
Christmas morning was filled with excitement as the children ran though the house waking everyone and Elijah walked down with his wife. Hayley felt a little spark of jealousy seeing Elijah with the old woman sitting on the couch as Nikolas was passing out everyone's gifts.
Elijah held a love for Y/N that Hayley didn't understand as the older that the human got the more Elijah adored her. Elijah smiled at Y/N watching her open Nikolas's gift for her and praising the boy making him smile brightly. The rest of the morning was filled with laughter and Elijah helping his girls in the kitchen.
"Today was lovely." Y/N tells Elijah as he sat with her infront of the fire enjoying a cup of tea with his wife.
"It was....you know I love you, yes?"
"I know liebling, I know you hate to think about it but I am so glad you loved me." Y/N whispered as Elijah smiled sadly kissing her hair line as they both enjoyed the quiet. Elijah smiled as it felt like it was '38 again and they both were having their first Christmas together again.
"One more dance for tonight?"
"Yes 'Lijah." Y/N said as Elijah placed on her favorite record and took his wife into his arms, Y/N sighed smiling softly laying her head on his chest as they swayed.
"Marry Christmas, my love."
Marry Christmas, liebling."

Amazing Earth: Satellite Images from 2020
In the vastness of the universe, the life-bringing beauty of our home planet shines bright. During this tumultuous year, our satellites captured some pockets of peace, while documenting data and striking visuals of unprecedented natural disasters. As 2020 comes to a close, we’re diving into some of the devastation, wonders, and anomalies this year had to offer. 
NASA’s fleet of Earth-observing satellites and instruments on the International Space Station unravel the complexities of the blue marble from a cosmic vantage point. These robotic scientists orbit our globe constantly, monitoring and notating changes, providing crucial information to researchers here on the ground. 
Take a glance at 2020 through the lens of NASA satellites:
 A Delta Oasis in Southeastern Kazakhstan
Tumblr media
Seen from space, the icy Ili River Delta contrasts sharply with the beige expansive deserts of southeastern Kazakhstan.
When the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 acquired this natural-color image on March 7, 2020, the delta was just starting to shake off the chill of winter. While many of the delta’s lakes and ponds were still frozen, the ice on Lake Balkhash was breaking up, revealing swirls of sediment and the shallow, sandy bed of the western part of the lake.
The expansive delta and estuary is an oasis for life year round. Hundreds of plant and animal species call it home, including dozens that are threatened or endangered. 
Fires and Smoke Engulf Southeastern Australia
Tumblr media
A record-setting and deadly fire season marred the beginning of the year in Australia. Residents of the southeastern part of the country told news media about daytime seeming to turn to night, as thick smoke filled the skies and intense fires drove people from their homes. 
This natural-color image of Southeastern Australia was acquired on January 4, 2020, by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite. The smoke has a tan color, while clouds are bright white. It is likely that some of the white patches above the smoke are pyrocumulonimbus clouds—clouds created by the convection and heat rising from a fire.
Nighttime Images Capture Change in China
Tumblr media
A team of scientists from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and Universities Space Research Association (USRA) detected signs of the shutdown of business and transportation around Hubei province in central China. As reported by the U.S. State Department, Chinese authorities suspended air, road, and rail travel in the area and placed restrictions on other activities in late January 2020 in response to the COVID-19 outbreak in the region.
A research team analyzed images of Earth at night to decipher patterns of energy use, transportation, migration, and other economic and social activities. Data for the images were acquired with the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the NOAA–NASA Suomi NPP satellite (launched in 2011) and processed by GSFC and USRA scientists. VIIRS has a low-light sensor—the day/night band—that measures light emissions and reflections. This capability has made it possible to distinguish the intensity, types, and sources of lights and to observe how they change.
The Parched Paraná River
Tumblr media
Though a seemingly serene oasis from above, there is more to this scene than meets the eye. On July 3, 2020, the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 captured this false-color image of the river near Rosario, a key port city in Argentina. The combination of shortwave infrared and visible light makes it easier to distinguish between land and water. A prolonged period of unusually warm weather and drought in southern Brazil, Paraguay, and northern Argentina dropped the Paraná River to its lowest water levels in decades. The parched river basin has hampered shipping and contributed to an increase in fire activity in the delta and floodplain.
The drought has affected the region since early 2020, and low water levels have grounded several ships, and many vessels have had to reduce their cargo in order to navigate the river. With Rosario serving as the distribution hub for much of Argentina’s soy and other farm exports, low water levels have caused hundreds of millions of dollars in losses for the grain sector, according to news reports.
Historic Fires Devastate the U.S. Pacific Coast
Tumblr media
Climate and fire scientists have long anticipated that fires in the U.S. West would grow larger, more intense, and more dangerous. But even the most experienced among them have been at a loss for words in describing the scope and intensity of the fires burning in West Coast states during September 2020.
Lightning initially triggered many of the fires, but it was unusual and extreme meteorological conditions that turned some of them into the worst conflagrations in the region in decades. 
Throughout the outbreak, sensors like the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) and the Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) on the NOAA-NASA Suomi NPP satellite collected daily images showing expansive, thick plumes of aerosol particles blowing throughout the U.S. West on a scale that satellites and scientists rarely see. 
This image shows North America on September 9th, 2020, as a frontal boundary moved into the Great Basin and produced very high downslope winds along the mountains of Washington, Oregon, and California. The winds whipped up the fires, while a pyrocumulus cloud from the Bear fire in California injected smoke high into the atmosphere. The sum of these events was an extremely thick blanket of smoke along the West Coast.
The Sandy Great Bahama Bank
Tumblr media
Though the bright blues of island waters are appreciated by many from a sea-level view, their true beauty is revealed when photographed from space. The underwater masterpiece photographed above is composed of sand dunes off the coast of the Bahamas. 
The Great Bahama Bank was dry land during past ice ages, but it slowly submerged as sea levels rose. Today, the bank is covered by water, though it can be as shallow as two meters (seven feet) deep in places. The wave-shaped ripples in the image are sand on the seafloor. The curves follow the slopes of the dunes, which were likely shaped by a fairly strong current near the sea bottom. Sand and seagrass are present in different quantities and depths, giving the image it’s striking range of blues and greens.
This image was captured on February 15th, 2020, by Landsat 8, whose predecessor, Landsat 7, was the first land-use satellite to take images over coastal waters and the open ocean. Today, many satellites and research programs map and monitor coral reef systems, and marine scientists have a consistent way to observe where the reefs are and how they are faring. 
Painting Pennsylvania Hills
Tumblr media
Along with the plentiful harvest of crops in North America, one of the gifts of Autumn is the gorgeous palette of colors created by the chemical transition and fall of leaves from deciduous trees. 
The folded mountains of central Pennsylvania were past peak leaf-peeping season but still colorful when the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on the Landsat 8 satellite passed over on November 9, 2020. The natural-color image above shows the hilly region around State College, Pennsylvania overlaid on a digital elevation model to highlight the topography of the area.
The region of rolling hills and valleys is part of a geologic formation known as the Valley and Ridge Province that stretches from New York to Alabama. These prominent folds of rock were mostly raised up during several plate tectonic collisions and mountain-building episodes in the Ordovician Period and later in the creation of Pangea—when what is now North America was connected with Africa in a supercontinent. Those events created the long chain of the Appalachians, one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world. 
A Dangerous Storm in the Night
Tumblr media
Ominous and looming, a powerful storm hovered off the US coastline illuminated against the dark night hues. 
The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on NOAA-20 acquired this image of Hurricane Laura at 2:20 a.m. Central Daylight Time on August 26, 2020. Clouds are shown in infrared using brightness temperature data, which is useful for distinguishing cooler cloud structures from the warmer surface below. That data is overlaid on composite imagery of city lights from NASA’s Black Marble dataset.
Hurricane Laura was among the ten strongest hurricanes to ever make landfall in the United States. Forecasters had warned of a potentially devastating storm surge up to 20 feet along the coast, and the channel might have funneled that water far inland. It did not. The outcome was also a testament to strong forecasting and communication by the National Hurricane Center and local emergency management authorities in preparing the public for the hazards.
A Windbreak Grid in Hokkaido
Tumblr media
From above, the Konsen Plateau in eastern Hokkaido offers a remarkable sight: a massive grid that spreads across the rural landscape like a checkerboard, visible even under a blanket of snow. Photographed by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8, this man-made design is not only aesthetically pleasing, it’s also an agricultural insulator. 
The strips are forested windbreaks—180-meter (590-foot) wide rows of coniferous trees that help shelter grasslands and animals from Hokkaido’s sometimes harsh weather. In addition to blocking winds and blowing snow during frigid, foggy winters, they help prevent winds from scattering soil and manure during the warmer months in this major dairy farming region of Japan. 
Shadows from a Solar Eclipse
Tumblr media
Formidable, rare, and awe-inspiring — the first and only total solar eclipse of 2020 occurred on December 14, with the path of totality stretching from the equatorial Pacific to the South Atlantic and passing through southern Argentina and Chile as shown in the lower half of the image above. The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) on Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite 16 (GOES-16) captured these images of the Moon’s shadow crossing the face of Earth. 
The “path of totality” (umbral path) for the eclipse was roughly 90 kilometers (60 miles) wide and passed across South America from Saavedra, Chile, to Salina del Eje, Argentina. While a total eclipse of the Sun occurs roughly every 18 months, seeing one from any particular location on Earth is rare. On average, a solar eclipse passes over the same parcel of land roughly every 375 years. The next total solar eclipse will occur on December 4, 2021 over Antarctica, and its next appearance over North America is projected for April 8, 2024.
