1945 01 Clearing Skies - Robert Taylor
During a brief respite in the freezing weather and with the recent snow beginning to thaw, the B-17 Fortresses of the 100th Bomb Group at Thorpe Abbotts, Norfolk prepare for the Eighth Air Force’s latest mission to Germany, during the harsh winter of early 1945. As for the American bomber crews, they were the bravest of the brave, and I know that I am speaking for my own bomber crews when I pay this tribute.” Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur “Bomber” HarrisThe winter of 1944 / 45 wasn’t the coldest ever recorded in England but it came close. The weather was bitter and, in what would turn out to be the last Christmas of the war, temperatures plunged across the country, bringing ice, freezing fog and deep banks of drifting snow.Airfields across East Anglia stood bleak and frost-bound, runways kept clear of snow when conditions allowed, whilst the heavy bombers of the US Eighth Air Force remained under wraps, engines oiled, warmed and ready for any break in the banks of murky fog that would allow them to fly. And when those breaks came, the bombers were back in action ready to play their part in the final destruction of Hitler’s Third Reich. The end game was rapidly approaching and both sides knew it.The Eighth Air Force flew its final bomber operations of the war on 25 April 1945, the last of 968 combat missions involving over 523,000 sorties; they had dropped some 700,000 tons of bombs, inflicting destruction on a scale from which the enemy could never recover. Yet the cost of the victory in which they had played such a major part made for sober reading; they had lost some 6,130 bombers and fighters along with some 47,000 casualties, including more than 26,000 dead – half of the entire US Army Air Force losses during the conflict.

Until we get more Sonic Prime content here's some shatterspaces I thought up for fun
- Green Gulch (Wild West shatterspace, I wouldn’t be surprised if we get something similar in the show; Green Gulch, despite its name, has been dealing with a serious drought and water shortage, and certain outlaws aren’t exactly helping; Sonic’s gloves/shoes are designed for the rugged terrain, shoes have spurs and gloves come with their own grappling hook-esque lasso):
Sherriff Calamity Rose
Deputy Sherriff Miles Earp (steampunk-esque inventor)
Buffalo Big (the town’s cattle rustler)
Bat Cassidy (outlaw Rouge)
Knuckles the Kid (Rouge's assistant)
- Avalon Gone Island (fantasy shatterspace b/c unfortunately I kinda doubt they’d use SatBK; name is a play on “long gone”; Sonic’s gloves/shoes probably grant him minor magic; still figuring out this shatterspace, I might go for something more Dungeons & Dragons-esque instead):
Arthur Penfox (boy king)
Amy le Fay (the royal sorceress)
Red Knight/Sir Knuckles (one of the king's top knights)
Purple Knight/Sir Big (top knight)
White Knight/Dame Rouge (top knight)
- All Hollow's Hill (monster shatterspace; AKA “what if everyone from Halloween Town in Nightmare Before Christmas was at war with each other over who’s the scariest”; Sonic’s gloves/shoes resemble his werehog design, maybe he’d be able to tap into similar abilities??):
Dr. Prowerstein
Prowerstein's Big Monster/Franken-Big
Countess Rougula (vampire bat)
Polterknux (Rouge’s ghostly servant)
Rabid Rose (werehog Amy; she becomes smitten with Sonic when he acts remotely like a werehog)
- Toyzone (Nutcracker shatterspace; Sonic’s gloves/shoes grant him the powers of the elements of the land: sweets, snow, toys, and animals; this one’s a work-in-progress too):
The Knuckcracker (cursed hero, protects living toys)
Drosselcatter (magician/clockmaker Big; he welcomes and guides Sonic through the land)
Sugarplum Amy (queen of the Sugarplum Fairies)
Bat Frost (winter spirit, friendly prankster)
Fox King Tails (Rat King role, cursed Knux out of jealousy; his people have been in such a long-standing feud with the toys that they can’t remember why they hate each other)
- Gray Hill (rubberhose/1930s cartoon-style shatterspace; Sonic himself is in color but everything else including Sonic's gloves/shoes is black and white; gloves enable him to generate anvils/bombs/mallets/etc. out of thin air and can do practically anything so long as it’s funny, like Roger Rabbit rules):
Tails the Friendly Fox (Tails but Felix the Cat, has a handy-dandy toolbox he can pull practically anything from)
Knuckles the Sailor (Knux but Popeye)
Rose Oil (Amy but Minnie Mouse/Olive Oyl)
Rouge the Blot (Rouge but Betty Boop; talks with a Transatlantic accent)
Big Brute (Pete/Bluto-esque antagonist, arch-enemy of Knuckles)

Info About The Writer
Hi! I’m Alistair— you can call me that, or you can use my username for pretty much everywhere else, TheetyPie/Theety. I don’t mind either way.
I’m a trans guy, I use he/they pronouns. I’m panromantic/asexual, and I’m 27 years old.
I have 3 cats, they’re my babies. I also (as you can tell from above) have a lot of OCs, and the number is still growing. I want to turn my ideas into a bigger creation someday, still not sure exactly where I want to go with it.
I do more than write. I do art, I like video games, music, and just collecting stuff. Current obsessions are Monster High, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, makeup, crystals, and jewelry.
Rules
The most important: I do not RP smut. In the past I’ve used the fade-to-black method, but I’m not entirely comfortable with that with most of my muses.
In the same vein, DO NOT FORCE SHIPS. I love ships as much as the next guy, but I would prefer to discuss it first, or for us to agree on it. It’s cool if your muse has a crush, totally fine— mine get crushes all the time! But make sure if you want to ship, we discuss it first.
In a similar vein to that one as well, no god-modding/powerplaying. If your character is strong, an immortal being, or whatever, cool! I have some of those too. But there should always be a limit. Don’t say your character is moving mine unless we’ve talked about that. Attempt to move them. Usually I follow along as long as boundaries aren’t pushed.
Don’t kill or seriously injure my muse without permission. Fights happen, of course, but again: discussion. I’m up for threads where my canon muses are injured or killed, but not where it happens to my OCs, unless we’re getting into a backstory and another OC that’s already deceased dies. Non-serious injuries are alright to come out of nowhere with, but if it’s a first meeting, I’d prefer to plot it out.
I’m semi-selective. I’m kind of particular about who I follow and who I thread with. I prefer us to be mutuals to thread, but you don’t have to be mutuals to send me things.
I’m very bad at keeping up with people. If you message me and I don’t respond, it’s usually bc I’m shy, I forgot, or I’m busy with work. It’s not you, I promise. Usually I don’t message first bc I’m nervous.
Back to shipping: I’m also multiship. Usually my ships are in different universes, unless discussed with all parties beforehand. The exception is a few of my OCs that are partnered together— ask about their availability. I love random ships, just talk to me about them!
I love duplicates of my muses. Whether it’s “x meets self” or I find someone I share a muse with, I love RPing with just about everyone. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if we have a muse in common!
One of my other most important statements, not really considered a rule, but it’s still important: if you want to know something about any muse, canon or OC, please tell me— ask or message me! I haven’t been able to write down a lot of info about any of them because I’m on mobile, but I will infodump for you if you need/want to know something. I love talking about my children, they’re precious to me.
If you send something in or make something for me when we haven’t even spoken, I might not feel comfortable responding. I’m very shy and nervous about not having any discussion beforehand. 😭
If there’s anything I left out or you need to know, just ask!

Arthur Morgan/fem!Reader, A/B/O Smut
Happy belated birthday to @peachofwork <3 ily bb! And y'all should all go check out her fics!
I'm replaying RDR2 which means we are back in Colter once more. Please let me know what you think! <3
Arthur Morgan/f!reader | a/b/o and the inherent dubcon therein Rating: Explicit, believe me Word Count: ~3000
Davey was dying. 
Mac and Sean were gone and Jenny was dead and the job had gone wrong and now the gang was on the run.
You hadn’t thought much of it when Dutch started leading everyone North, but now the wagon was rolling through snow drifts taller than you and the wind was biting and bitter even beneath your heavy shawl. The caravan was chaos around you, shouting and crying, the crunch of snow and the creak of the wagons. You were curled into the corner of one of the wagon beds, trying to keep your teeth from chattering out of your skull. Your skin was hot against the freezing air, sweat turning to frost and breath like hot steam in the dark.
Distant shouts carried over the deafening wind, and a few moments later you heard the excited chatter of the girls crowded around the lantern. The men had found a place to stay.
The wind and ice were enough to mask your scent for now, but you knew you would have to find somewhere isolated to ride out the rest of your heat.
It was quite possibly the worst timing you had ever experienced. You had felt the beginnings of the fever just as the men rode out for the job in Blackwater, and by the time they thundered back into camp and ordered everyone to pack up you were weak and hardly able to walk.
The blizzard had been a blessing and a curse. The cold kept your fever at bay mostly and the wind did a good job of hiding your heat from the others, but you would have a hard time surviving the next few days without shelter and a way to keep warm.
You knew it was ridiculous, but you wanted Arthur. Of all the alphas in the gang, he was the only one you trusted to take care of you. He had always been there for you no matter what, teaching you how to shoot, taking you out on rides, looking after you whenever you went into town.
He wasn’t your alpha, but you wanted him to be. You weren’t even sure he saw anything in you. Still, you hated that you hadn’t even seen him since he and Hosea rode out for that job. And now he was out there in the snow, protecting the gang as he always had.
Everyone else filed into the desolate, abandoned mining town. Dutch was shouting orders above the wind, and you stayed curled in the bed of the wagon. You would only be more trouble right now, with Davey dead and everyone trying to get warm and Dutch and Arthur riding out again.
You pulled as many furs and blankets and tarps over yourself as you could find, curling in as small as possible and hiding in the shadows of the wagon as everyone moved around you. It was so hectic nobody had even noticed your absence.
Things fell quiet and then loud once more as Arthur, Dutch, and Micah returned. There were many overlapping voices that you couldn’t make out until you heard your own name.
Tilly. She had noticed you were missing and was begging the others to help look for you.
You barely had the strength to crawl out from beneath your makeshift shelter, but you forced your way into the dark and cold to at least reassure the gang that you were alright.
The snow tripped you on your first step, and you fell face first into the ice. Tilly was shouting for you, and you tried to return her call. It wasn’t very far, you just needed to make it to the orange glow of the lanterns.
“I’m here!” you yelled. 
“That sounds like her.” Arthur’s voice. “I think she’s over by the wagons. I can try and catch her scent.”
You heard the crunch of his boots in the snow and your skin began to burn again at the realization that Arthur, an alpha, was going to find you like this. Weak and in heat, crawling through the snow.
“Woah!” One of his boots sank into the snow inches from your face. “Nearly stepped on you.” He crouched in the snow to try and help you up. “What are you doing out here like this?”
His question was answered the moment he pulled you to your feet. He wrinkled his nose and frowned as your scent reached him. “Oh, you poor thing.” He tried to keep as much distance as possible between you as he pulled you back through the snow, but you dug your fingers in his snow covered coat.
“Please,” you mumbled, not sure what you were even asking for.
He seemed to take pity on you, pulling you into his chest beneath his coat and brushing the snow out of your hair. His scent was strong beneath the wool, and you couldn’t help but breathe it in. Every inhale both soothed you and stoked the fire that was burning beneath your skin. “I know, Arthur said. “We’ll get you put up somewhere safe.”
You weren’t sure where that could be in a town that looked to have four buildings left standing, but you trusted him.
You heard Tilly’s relieved gasp when she caught sight of you buried in Arthur’s coat. He explained the situation to her and sent her off to find Miss Grimshaw. Arthur never pushed you away, so you continued to sap his warmth and surround yourself in his scent.
The problem came when Miss Grimshaw said that they had nowhere to keep you. Nowhere that would be both safe and warm enough to get you through your heat. There were too many alphas in the gang that couldn’t be trusted.
“She could take my room,” Arthur offered. “Hosea and I could keep an eye out for her at least.”
No one had any objections, especially not you when Arthur leaned in close to ask you if you would trust him enough to do that.
He held you protectively against him until you were safe inside the room Grimshaw had assigned him. Some of his belongings had already been unpacked, and you longed to surround yourself in his scent.
“You’re too damn cold to be anywhere without a fire.” Arthur watched you fight your chattering teeth as you curled up on the rickety bed.
Despite your shivering, you didn’t feel cold in the slightest. Your pulse was racing, and you felt too warm in your coat and shawl. He rushed forward as you began undoing the fastens on your coat, grabbing your wrists and holding them still. “Woah there,” he chuckled. “I can’t imagine what’s happening to you right now, but that don’t seem like a good idea to me.”
“Please,” you whined. “Need you so bad.”
Arthur’s jaw tensed. He had shown an amazing amount of restraint even this far, trying to keep his distance no matter how enticing you smelled. You knew you were testing his resolve like this, and you desperately wanted to see it break.
You leaned into him, breathing in his scent and dragging your nose and mouth across the thin fabric of his shirt. His scent made your vision go white and you whined involuntarily. “Need to be bred,” you babbled. “Need to be knotted. Want you so bad.”
Arthur choked off a groan. “I can’t do that, sweetheart. You’re not in the right mind to be making decisions like this. The last thing I’d want is to hurt you.”
“It’s okay if it hurts,” you murmured. “Just wanna be full.”
Arthur threw you off of him and onto the bed, but the display of strength only worsened the ache between your thighs. You were now free to shrug out of your coat, fumbling with the buttons of your blouse. He looked tortured, clearly trying to maintain control even as you begged for his knot.
He didn’t move, and your desire turned to frustration that an alpha was right there ignoring your scent and your begging.
Barely dressed, you pushed to your feet on wobbly knees. “Someone else will do it,” you huffed, words practically slurred from the combination of hypothermia and heat.
Before you could even take a step, you were pinned face down on the bed, Arthur’s full weight on top of you as he growled. “Like hell they will.”
It was exactly what you wanted. Arthur yanked your chemise off your shoulders so he could nose along your neck and collarbone. “Why do you smell so damn good? Irresistible.”
You couldn’t move, completely at his mercy as he ground his hips against your ass. There were too many clothes between you for the friction to mean anything, and Arthur immediately began undressing you.
“Can smell how wet you are,” he said. “How much you need my knot.”
“Please,” you begged. 
“Don’t worry,” he dragged his teeth across your skin and you moaned. “I’m going to fill you up good.”
He kept you trapped beneath him, possessive after your threat of finding another alpha. You didn’t mind at all. The closeness and the weight and the scent of him appeased your heat in a way that only an alpha could. The ache subsided, but the desperation only grew. 
One of his hands slipped between where your bodies were pressed together, shoving between your thighs so he could drench his fingers in the wetness pooling there. You moaned as the rough callouses brushed your already aching and sensitive clit.
“That’s right.” His beard tickled the skin of your neck and you squirmed beneath him. “I’ve got you.”
He stroked you with thick fingers but never pressed inside where you truly needed him. He knew he was teasing you, working you up and sending you deeper and deeper into the throes of your heat. You couldn’t even find the words you needed to beg, just whining and grinding back against his hand.
When he finally did slip two fingers inside of you, you nearly came from the stretch alone. He pinned your hips in place with his other hand and stayed perfectly still until you came down from the rush. You would have whined in protest if it weren’t for his teeth lightly scraping just over your collarbone, forcing you into submission beneath him.
“I only want you to come on my cock,” he warned you. You knew your body would obey.
Still, it was torment. He worked you open on two fingers, and then three. You knew you would be able to take his cock, but you weren’t sure about his knot.
The scrape of denim as he finally freed his cock from his trousers had you clenching around his thick knuckles, and he chuckled at the sensation. “You’re going to feel so good around my knot. So tight.”
It was the only thing you could think about, and you were pliant and easy as he lifted your hips up to get your knees under you. The sight must have done something for him, because he groaned low in his throat and ran his palms over your ass and thighs almost reverently.
A few more seconds of anticipation before Arthur’s cock was resting against your ass. He ran his length against the slick that was dripping down your thighs, stroking himself to make sure he wouldn’t hurt you before finally pressing the head of his cock into you.
This time you truly couldn’t help yourself. You came with a shuddering gasp and rocked your hips back to take more of his length. His hands found you waist, and he began fucking you slow and deep through your orgasm. You couldn’t help but whimper every time the swell of his knot threatened to slip inside. The stretch was painful, but you wanted to be filled more than anything else in that moment.
Arthur, with his unshakeable control, was able to fight his every instinct that was begging to knot you right then and there. He loved the way you moaned at every thrust, his cock somehow hitting the perfect spot each time. You were so far into your heat that the bliss had just rolled into one long ecstasy, and he wanted to draw it out as long as possible for you. You came again and again on his cock, dripping with arousal and tightening around him as the most beautiful sounds tumbled past your lips.
Not to mention you felt absolutely perfect on his cock, and he was savoring every second. He had been achingly hard since the moment he first smelled you but had never dreamed that he would be able to have you like this. God, he should have known your heat was coming on before he and Hosea left for that job in Blackwater. You had looked beautiful in the dawn, flushed from fever and breath fogging in the morning air. Arthur had watched you cradle your cup of coffee as you breathed in the scent of the prairie. He had followed suit only to catch a trace of your scent on the wind. It had made his stomach flip.
And now he was buried inside you, pulling you deeper onto his cock with every thrust and trying his best to stave off the tightening at the bottom of his stomach. He wasn’t sure if you could come again just like this, but he wanted to try.
You fisted your fingers into the cold blanket beneath you and let your eyes flutter shut. You never wanted it to end. You wanted him to hurry up and knot you. Surely he could only last so long like this?
He wasn’t able to pull another orgasm from you before his instincts won over and he pulled your hips to his. You cried out as his knot stretched you open even more around him, shaking as he ground his hips against you until he was fully seated inside. He was deeper than before, and you were so full and fucked that you couldn’t help but come again around his knot.
That was all it took to send Arthur over the edge as well, and he rocked against you as his cock twitched and pulsed. Your knees gave out, and he sank back on top of you, pinning you back against the bed and breeding you full as you lay panting and delirious from the rush.
Arthur first rolled you onto your side. One of his arms wrapped around your middle, and he ran his hand over your stomach where he was locked inside of you. You appreciated the way he nosed along your neck and shoulder, marking you with his scent and breathing in your own. 
Just as his knot started to go down, he rolled onto his back so you were laying on his chest. He raised his knees until your thighs fell to either side and rocked up into you with more strength than you were prepared for. It was too much to handle, oversensitive after coming on his cock so many times already, but he didn’t seem to care at all. In fact, your pitiful whimpers only seemed to spur him on and he kissed and sucked at your neck as he let his instincts take over, driving him into you again and again as his seed spilled out across his thighs. What finally managed to send you over the edge one last time was his lips locked onto the junction of your neck and shoulder. He didn’t bite down -- wouldn’t do that without asking you -- instead he sucked the skin between his teeth, sure to leave dark, splotchy marks that would let everyone know an alpha had taken you.
You shook in his arms, hips twitching of their own accord and every muscle in your body seeming to tense at random. The rotting wood and dark shadows of the rundown room had faded away to a blinding white. You had never experienced pleasure like this.
Arthur couldn’t knot you again so soon, but you felt his cock grow harder as he spilled inside you once more.
Reason finally seemed to catch up with him, and he collapsed back onto the bed panting hard against your skin.
It was quiet for several long minutes as he gathered you up into his arms and pulled you into his chest. Both of you were overheated despite the blizzard, and the chill couldn’t reach you in the haze of your heat. The cold must have finally gotten to him at some point, because he tucked you under his coat and stood to find a flannel to wash up the mess you both had made.
“I don’t think I’ll ever be able to wash your smell out of my clothes now,” he said. You hummed happily. You had done a good job of claiming your alpha then.
You protested when Arthur shook you gently, trying to get you to sit up and drink some water. He wound up grabbing your jaw between his finger and thumb and squeezing gently until your lips parted. You smacked your lips at first before winding your fingers in his hair and washing the water down with an open mouthed kiss.
Arthur chuckled when you finally let him pull away. He wrapped his coat around your shoulders -- seeming mighty pleased at the sight of you wearing his clothes -- and grabbed as many blankets as he could find to drape over you.
“We can probably get a few hours rest before another wave hits you.” He brushed your hair behind your ear. “I know you weren’t in any right mind -- still aren’t.” He sighed. “I just hope that you don’t regret this too much when you come out the other side. I know I already do.”
You pouted, blinking up at him with watery eyes. “You regret me?” was the only thought running through your head.
“No!” A large palm cupped your cheek, thumb brushing over your quivering bottom lip. “I just wish we’d had the chance to talk things out before letting me… you know. I would have liked it to be your decision.”
“It was my decision,” you said, extremely sure of yourself while you were still drunk on endorphins and the feeling of his cock inside you.
Arthur sighed, running a hand through his hair.
You took the chance to lean up and press a smattering of light kisses to the column of his throat. He smelled so good, so safe. “You’re the only one I trust,” you whispered.

ooc | Cassandra & Rose
I feel like Cassandra honestly just saw Rose in a crowd during some kind of formal thing and was just like "kindred spirit!!!!" because she was dressed so well and of a similar age and probably complicated her on her dress or something and just decided that they would be friends and then they just spent the rest of the day heavily gossiping and laughing and Cass spilling the tea on the Varmont & co peeps and Rose telling her about Astaira (and Cassandra immediately started hating on Valentina and Cassimir tbh)
Also, I know that Edmund doesn't know that Rose is a servant -- do you think that's something she also keeps from Cassandra?
So, I'm realizing that Cassandra is obsessed with fairytales and romances and just wants to live one out in real life but also wants to see them play out and yeah I think she ships Eithne/Arthur hardcore and is waiting for the day he fights off Cassimir and rescues her and #facepalm (ngl I think she also ships Edmund/Rose but she definitely has NOT said this to Rose, but she def brings up Edmund a lot). I'm also not sure that she's explicitly told Rose about her fantasy involving Eithne/Arthur, but I do think she probably talks about how she's sure Arthur loves Eithne and does Rose think Eithne might love Arthur?
ALSO, I'm crying b/c she's definitely told Rose about Cillian Frost (the lord) and she knows he must be Astarian and does Rose know him/his family, etc. etc. and Rose probably can't tell Cassandra that she does know him, but he's a literal servant who impersonated a lord to rescue someone b/c he might get in trouble and also cue Rose trying to hide Cillian in a closest whenever Cassandra comes to visit. ;D

LADY SONYA MALCONAIRE / NATALIE DORMER
♛ Age: (28) ♛ Relationships: Valentina Malconaire (mother), Cassimir Malconaire (brother), Eithne Malconaire, Brigit Malconaire, Aoife Malconaire, Roisin Malconaire (step-sisters), Cillian Frost (servant/annoyance), Roderick Varmont, Arthur Varmont, Alaric Varmont (flirtations/targets), Guinevere Varmont (new friend)
ever since she was a young child, sonya has always felt as though she was a disappointment to her mother
while her brother could do no wrong, it took a great deal before sonya ever received any word of praise from valentina
it was so rare, that sonya began to crave it at every turn
valentina has great plans for both of her children -- they will both marry extremely well, and she will not settle for less -- and sonya has always been determined to, in this at least, exceed her mother's expectations!
when her mother set her sights on the emperor himself for her daughter, sonya ought not to have been surprised
sonya, however, isn't exactly interested in being any man's fourth (or even fifth if his marriage with the queen goes through) wife and, instead, is determined to marry whoever will inherit the throne after him
and as it appears it will likely be his eldest son, sonya has decided that she will not settle for anything less than marrying arthur varmont and she will do anything to have him (his father is her plan b and his uncle is her plan c)
honestly enrages her that he pays eithne any attention at all!!
it's very sad because sonya might have otherwise been friends with her step-sisters, however she enjoys bossing them around/putting them down/generally poking fun at them because it's one thing she and her mom can bond over #family goals
it's also good to just feel superior, not only in her mother's eyes, but in general
at the end of the day, sonya is desperately lonely and has low self-esteem
she's never really had a true friend in her entire life :(
she views men only in terms of how valuable they would be to her as a potential husband and she views women as her competition
only recently has she started to develop a friendship with guinevere varmont
it is in the earliest of stages and she has yet to become someone she confides in, however she does genuinely enjoy her company

I'm writing Flash (TV) fic and reading Dracula Daily and so here's a Flash Dracula AU that I'm not going to write:
(Warnings: Major Character Death, Child Death, Bad Doctoring. It's a Dracula AU)
Casting:
1. Kamilla Hwang as Mina Murray
Our opening character, currently holidaying in [Whitby] with a dear, dear friend of her fiancé who should be joining them any day now, but he doesn't seem to be sending any letters...
2. Caitlin Snow as Lucy Westenra
Wanted a nice relaxing time at the seaside really getting to know her bestie's new fiancée and thinking about her own upcoming wedding, but her mother is clearly trying to hide something and her own fiancé's father is ill and her best friend appears to be missing and now she appears to have fallen back into her old sleepwalking ways...
3. Cisco Ramon as Jonathan Harker
Kamilla's fiancé and recently made a full solicitor. This will be an easy first job they told him. Travel overseas, get some signatures on this paperwork, he'll be home in no time.
He has been having The Worst Month
4. Ronnie Raymond as Arthur Holmward
Caitlin's fiancé. Loves her so much. Would be with her but his dad's not been doing so well
5. Julian Albert as Quincey Morris
Adventurer. Ronnie's old bud. Also in love with Caitlin but just really, really happy for his friends. Down to shoot a bat.
6. Hunter Zoloman as Jack Seward
There's got to be a twist somewhere, right? He's the head of an asylum. He should not be in charge, really, especially not with that one patient he's dubbed his 'favourite'. Also in love with Caitlin. Bitter she did not choose him. But there's an idea for how to change their fates...
7. Iris West as Abraham Van Helsing
Not a doctor but a journalist, Iris has ended up studying local legends and mythic creatures ever since the loss of her daughter and the rapid decline in her husband's health. She's something of a vampire expert- not that she believes in them, but understanding might give her a way to help her husband. She did not expect it to actually be practical knowledge, but then she hears from Zoloman about the state of his friend Caitlin and maybe there's some truth to the tales after all
8. Barry Allen as Renfield
The latest patient admitted to Zoloman's asylum and his latest source of fascination, Barry is convinced his mother was not murdered by his father but by some monstrous creature she managed to save eleven-year-old Barry from, but one he could not save his own daughter from, and Barry has sworn revenge. Probably has some pet spiders. He gets lonely. Doing some dubious science in his cell. Also gets bored and really, really wants to kill this one guy.
9. Eddie Thawne as Patrick Hennessey
Actually takes good care of everyone in the asylum. Feels bad for Barry. Hopefully someone will promote him when Zoloman winds up dead. Knows a little more than he's letting on
10. And, of course, Eobard Thawne as Dracula
A massive dick
Notes:
We get the reveals as Kamilla does- so what happened to Cisco at Castle Thawne when she reads Cisco's journal, what happened to Caitlin when she gets to read the notes, ect.
This includes the reveal Hunter Zoloman is the one working for Thawne
He's the one who lets Thawne into the asylum to go after Cisco- who was left behind out of concern for his mental health
Luckily Eddie had the bright idea to enlist Barry's help when he figured out what was going on
Zoloman had to bright idea to think Thawne would a) make him immortal and b) make Caitlin immortal and c) this would mean she'd pick him instead of Ronnie
Only Iris knows what this mysterious new "Killer Frost" wandering the nights is and stops her before she can kill anyone, with help from Ronnie and Julian
Barry does fight Thawne and gets very injured for his troubles. This means he's left behind with Eddie when the gang go on a "let's track down Eobard Thawne and murder him" quest, but he does live (it seems unfair for Iris to lose Nora and Barry)
Zoloman's like super dead though. Eobard kills him so he doesn't let any secrets slip not realising Zoloman went and recorded everything in his diary.
Caitlin's dead too. Sorry. Maybe she can be a ghost
Everyone gets a go at stabbing Eobard Thawne

@brassandblue ;; Continued... 
As if waiting for such a vague response, Arthur snapped up the previous day’s newspaper from his desk and practically flung the folded papers at the other man.
“More labor disputes! And—fine, if that’s the hill you’d like to die on, so be it! But this here? This is one of my companies and partnerships and I am being asked why you’re stirring up trouble!” Bristling, Arthur leaned over his desk, hands spread across the polished marble, cold, with burning eyes focused and locked on Noel.
“If you want to go blacken your lungs by playing canary, that’s all well and good, but don’t fuck things up for the rest of us.”
He cheeks were slightly flushed red with anger as he simmered and glared, even bared his teeth as he spoke again. And his tone shifted into a thin timbre, heavy-laden with a considerable amount of frost.
“You are my friend, Noel, and my counterpart in so many ways. We each have our responsibilities, our obligations.” He held his gaze, as still as the hewn stone resting beneath his fingers.
“As the Empire, I will not allow you to interfere with mine. Consider this your final warning.”
As soon as the paper was tossed into sight, it was snatched up into Noel’s grip, crumpling it significantly more than it already had been. He had guessed that this was due to indignation upon recognising what had happened. There was no mention of Noel’s name anywhere, at least from his rapid skimming of the article. Perhaps had this been a few decades earlier, he’d have never heard a word in his direction from Arthur about what had happened in that particular factory but alas, with the advent of photographic cameras that could capture far brighter an accuracy of a moment than a particularly skilled and quick sketch artist could ever dream of accomplishing, it was clear enough exactly who it was toting a wounded child out of the building, another three scampering behind him.
Sabotage of such places had become fairly commonplace in Noel’s activities between funding the research behind what made various types of dogs tick and seeking crises in which his undying body could readily play the hero. 
Neatly, and taking great care to juxtapose his action with the furious tossing that had preceeded the paper, it was folded and placed carefully back on the desk between them. He had no hope of denying that it was him there, that was beyond even a hypnotist’s scope of skill. 
But there was nothing different about this round of recriminations he could detect. Just like any other he’d received before this one, he would simply remain cool and collected, wait for Arthur’s temper to simmer out and he would be on his way in due time with a slap on the wrist and continue just as he had been within a few weeks, once Arthur’d had a moment to move on. At least, it might have been so if he hadn’t been so tempted by the opportunity to make a lashing remark.
“Empire. Sir, what’s even on this b-bloody isle that isn’t part of --your claim? What am I allowed to fight? For I’ll not stand by when I see --injustices taken out on the regular.”

TOP O’ TH’ WORLD
1907 - 1908
Tumblr media
Top O’ Th’ World is a musical by Mark E. Swan with music by Manuel Klein and Anna Caldwell and lyrics by James O’Dea, featuring songs with lyrics by Joseph W. Herbert. It was originally produced by J.M. Allison, staged by Frank Smithson, and choreographed by William Rock and Signor Luigi Albertieri.
The story concerns Maida, a little girl who finds herself mysteriously transplanted to the workshop of Kris Kringle near the city of Illusia. There is a love story in which a near discoverer of the North Pole resolves to find it, if only to rescue a maiden who has been frozen by Jack Frost at the command of Aurora Borealis, Queen of the Northern Lights. Guided by Kankakee, an Eskimo, and his little daughter Kokomo, the entire party proceeds to Illusia, accompanied by The Candy Kid and The Jack in the Box, who were brought to life in Kris Kringle’s  workshop, and who are paired up as travelling companions of the Friendly Bear.
Tumblr media
The show was designed to appeal to both young people and their parents. The variety musical included:
The Collie Dog Ballet - “8 captivating, whirling misses and almost-human dancing dogs.”
The Candy Kid 
The Intelligent Bear ~ Kathleen Clifford and Arthur Hill as ‘Maida and the Friendly Bear’
Jack Frost
The Heart of Fairyland
In the Land of Christmas
The Top of the World - Santa’s Workshop
The Spring Time of Love
"By the sun that burns throughout the day and the moon that shines at night by the great caciques of the past and the present, by the rivers that flow through northern forests, and the rivers where the hunted deer doth quench his thirst, by all the brave and the true in Eskimo history, I bid you welcome this day in the beautiful month of the seasons to witness little Kokomo." ~ KOKOMO the ESKIMO (Anna Laughlin)
Tumblr media
The musical opened in Toronto at the New Alexandria Theatre on August 26, 1907. It then moved to Buffalo NY, Rochester NY, Detroit MI, Cincinnati OH, 
Tumblr media
On October 16, 1907, Top O’ Th’ World played Young’s Pier in Atlantic City. [Although this newspaper suggests the play tried out at Young’s Pier in Atlantic City, the newspapers there do not list any such performance on these dates.]
Tumblr media
Top O’ Th’ World opened on Broadway on October 19, 1907 at the Majestic Theatre (5 Columbus Circle at 59th Street). The Majestic had previously housed the family-friendly hits The Wizard of Oz and Babes in Toyland. Anna Loughlin, who plays Kokomo the Eskimo Princess in The Top O’ Th’ World, returned to the Majestic where she had played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. Arthur Hill (the Bear) was her Cowardly Lion. 
Tumblr media
About the Venue: The Majestic was built in 1903, one of the first theatres by Columbus Circle, which was expected to become another theatre district. It went through many name changes and owners until 1923, when William Randolph Hearst took over, changed the policy to cinema, and renamed it the Cosmopolitan. It was torn down in 1954 to allow for wider sidewalks in front of the New York Coliseum.
Tumblr media
George Munroe cross-dressed to played the role of Aurora Borealis, Queen of the Northern Lights, in the style of a pantomime dame. 
On February 3, 1908, the show moved to the Casino Theatre (1404 Broadway at 39th Street) where it closed on February 22, 1908 after 156 performances. 
“’The Top O’ Th’ World’ is a bit of stage-jelly with powdered sugar spiced mildly with peppermint and wintergreen.” ~ INTERNATIONAL PRESS ASSOCIATION
Tumblr media
Frost King (aka Dolly Dimples) is at large in the big city! 
The first week in December, a new song titled “Dinah” was added to the show. It was also announced that the production had arranged ‘closed automobiles’ to transport groups of 25 children or more to the theatre for free. To accommodate holiday audiences, the production offered daily matinees. 
Tumblr media
“On Christmas Day a Santa Claus will distribute dolls to the little girls of the audience who are so fortunate as to draw tickets for them. Two dolls, of life size, are among the prizes in this ingenious lottery - these being described as ‘made in France, of the finest material and dressed for the occasion’."
The doll promotion was so successful it was continued at all Wednesday matinees. 
~ Fun and Feast for ‘Top o’ th’ World’ ~ 
“After last night's performance of ‘The Top o' th' World’ at the Majestic Theatre there was yet another performance for the benefit of the company only. A small stage had been built under the regular stage, and on this various members of the company made fun for the rest. Sam Diamond indulged in recitations from Shakespeare and George W. Monroe and Catherine Clifford were also on the program. Then Manager J.M. Allison and his wife treated the entire organization to a beefsteak dinner. Congressman and Mrs. James W. Rhlnock of Ohio Joined In the festivities” ~ January 1, 1908
Tumblr media
About the Venue: The Casino Theatre was  built in 1882 for light musicals and operetta, but showed mostly vaudeville starting in 1892.  A 1905 fire necessitated much reconstruction. In February of 1930, the theatre was demolished to make room for the expanding garment district.
Tumblr media
In an attempt to keep the show fresh producers staged a song contest. There were no winners except the show, which got free publicity from the stunt. 
After closing at the Casino on February 22nd, The Top o' th' World went on the road, opening with Philadelphia on February 24th, then visiting Baltimore, Washington, Boston, and stopping in Atlantic City. 
Tumblr media
Top O’ Th’ World opened in Atlantic City at the Apollo Theatre on the Boardwalk on April 16, 1908. The theatre was supposed to host Miss Marlowe during this time, but her engagement was canceled. 
In 1910, the play morphed into The Top O’ Th’ World Dancers, extracting the more popular acts (including the Collie Ballet) into a variety / vaudeville production.
