Traveling was one of Taehyung's favorite and least favorite things to do. He found the wind blowing in his face and whistling past his ears as he flew through the air was a wonderful way to calm his nerves. But he hated traveling alone though, despite having his bison Yeontan with him as company, he did miss other people. Which granted he would soon see again within a few days.

He was returning from a visit to the Eastern Air Temple and was on his way back to the Northern Air Temple. While Air Nomads were, as the name suggested, nomadic; Taehyung always felt a strong pull to the Northern Temple. It was where he grew up, it was where he went though most of his training, it was where he even earned his mastery tattoos, all in all, the Northern Temple was home to him. It was a sentiment he would never say aloud though. Air Nomads were supposed to let go of their ties to the world, freeing their spirit. Taehyung wouldn’t be a monk if he called a place his home. Yet something deep in his soul told him that that’s what he wanted, to have an attachment.

Having just flown over the great city of Ba Sing Se, Taehyung figured there were only a few days left in his journey back. Over the wind, he could hear - and feel - Yeontan groan, signaling to Taehyung that he was tired after traveling for so long. “Okay buddy, we’ll land soon.” He said as he patted the head of his companion. If he recalled correctly, there was a river not far from where they flew in the skies, so Taehyung started flying in that general direction.

As he got closer and closer to the river, he noticed a few figures making their way towards the river. Once Yeontan got close enough to the ground, he noticed the figures were Earth Kingdom soldiers and they were chasing after you. He debated quickly as to whether or not to jump in and separate the fight, but upon watching further, he saw you jump into the river and began to swim frantically away. The soldiers halted as you struggled to swim across the wide river, maybe you weren’t gonna make it?

All hopes of you making it seemed to be dashed when a soldier pulled out a bola, and started swinging it in the direction of you. “No-” Taehyung started to call out to try and stop them but it was too late, the soldier swung the weights and with the lucky shot the bola wrapped around your leg, slowly but surely you were sinking.

“Yeontan, get closer to the river!” He called out to his bison as he jumped from his spot on his head to dive into the water. As he got closer to you, he saw as you struggled to stay afloat.

“Help!” You gargled out before you sank beneath the water. Behind Taehyung, he could hear the soldiers yelling at him, telling him to mind his business but he paid no mind to them. Taehyung submerged himself beneath the waves and looked around until he could see your figure a few feet behind him still struggling.

Quickly, Taehyung swam closer to you and watched as you slowly stopped struggling. He needed to work fast, he wrapped his arms around your torso and started kicking towards the surface again. Once he broke the surface of the river, he looked around and spotted Yeontan, who was floating not far from where he and you were.

Although it took a bit of struggling, Taehyung managed to pull your dead weight over to the tail of his bison. Once the two of you were on, he called for Yeontan to lift his tail, to which he followed and he was able to pull you on to the saddle. “Yip yip!” Taehyung belted out and his bison started to rise from the water and back towards the skies. All while the soldiers were yelling at them to come back.

Once they were up in the air, Taehyung focused his attention on you, currently laying unconscious in the saddle. He brought his head to your chest and could hear your heartbeat, as well as feel your chest rise and fall. You were still alive, to which that was a relief. He then saw your left leg, which was still entangled with the bola. Carefully as he could, he undid the tangle, but he could see there was still a lot of damage done to the limb. While he wasn’t very skilled in healing, he knew the basics to help. Now if only he could remember what Monk Ruen taught him. . .

A dull aching pain seared from your left leg woke you. You tried your best to ignore it as every other muscle in your body begged to continue sleeping, but the pain only grew and grew until you were groaning loudly. Within an instant, a cool hand was placed over your forehead in an attempt to soothe you. You tried to push away from the stranger’s grasp, but they held you down. “Hey hey hey, it’s alright. You nearly drowned, you’re gonna be okay.” A deep voice echoed in your mind, consoling you.

“My leg-” You cried out as you opened your eyes to see the stranger. Your vision was blurry, either from sleep or the tears you were holding back, but there was no mistaking who your savior was. Above you was the figure of an air nomad, the signature blue arrow rested over his forehead and ran over the top of his clean shaven head. You blinked up at him, your vision clearing up and you could see his grey eyes were laced with concern as you squirmed in pain.

“Your leg was injured by a bola. A healer will be able to help more, but I did the best I could.” The monk chuckled nervously as he gestured to your splinted shin.

Following his hand, you took notice of your poorly splinted leg. Judging from spots of blood that was seeping through the cloth, the wound was still fresh and open. You let out a huff as you let your head fall back to the soft ground. . . impossibly soft ground. The pain of your leg distracted you from realizing that you were not even on the dirt. Instead you were splayed out on a large saddle of sorts. Even above you, the skyline and the trees looked different from the village you once called home. Where were you?

“We’re several miles away from the river, those soldiers won’t be able to find you here.” The nomad explained. “I’m Taehyung, by the way.”

“Y/N.” You slowly lifted yourself to a sitting position, trying your best not to move your leg too much.

Taehyung was silent for a few seconds, eying you carefully. You felt unnerved under his grey eyed stare, like he was looking into your very soul. “If you don’t mind me asking, why were those soldiers after you?”

Suddenly you remembered how you got into this situation. You were caught stealing food from some soldiers. But only because you had too! You had no money and the food looked so good. . . food you didn’t even have any more considering you dropped it somewhere in between the village and the river. You avoided eye contact with the nomad for a split second, should you lie? Was it morally okay to lie to an air nomad? You remembered hearing something about how the air nomads were good fortune. . . Not willing to risk it, you huffed out your confession.

“I was caught stealing food.” Gnawing on your lip nervously as you gaged his reaction. “I wasn’t just stealing it because I could! The mayor has this massive tax, we don’t have any money and I was starving!” You didn’t realize you were shouting at him until your words echoed into the forest. Gulping, you kept your eyes trained on the nomad before you, praying to whatever spirits could hear that he would spare a spit of kindness your way.

His eyes softened. Taehyung placed his hand on your shoulder. “Are you still hungry?”

Opening your mouth to respond, but your stomach growled loudly, answering for you.

With a chuckle, he pulled himself away from you digging into his bag that was secured off to the edge of the giant saddle. With his back turned to you, you shifted in your place. “Thank you, for saving me by the way.”

Turning back with some circular yellow cookies, handing them to you.“Nonsense! I couldn’t stand back and watch you drown!” Taehyung looked at you, as if the concept of not helping you was outrageous. “All life is precious, that includes yours. It was the right thing to do.” You felt your cheeks burn at his statement; you’ve heard that air nomads did hold that philosophy but coming from Taehyung, it had butterflies stirring in your stomach. “Now eat and get some more rest. It’s getting late. There’s a town nearby with a healer I know of. I’ll fly us over-”

“I’m sorry, fly?” You cut him off as Taehyung stood up in the saddle, a big boxy grin on his face.

“Watch this!” In the blink of an eye, he jumped up, propelling himself into the air. You watched in awe as he landed not too far from where you sat, his bald head only peeking out from the end of the saddle. “Yeontan, yip yip!” He shouted and suddenly the entire saddle groaned and rumbled. Then with a loud thump coming from behind, slowly you noticed how you were getting higher and higher, until you broke through the branches of the tree tops and into the open air of the sky. You were flying!

“Woah!” You exclaimed as you looked over the ends of the saddle and noticed you were on the back of a sky bison! How could you have forgotten that airbenders almost always travel with a bison? You heard Taehyung laugh at you over the wind as you watched with wide eyes over the height you were growing to.

“Rest! The town’s not too far from here! We’ll be there soon!” The air nomad called out to you. You were exhausted, you’re unsure if you’re going to be able to sleep completely. You lean back against the end of the saddle again and keep your eyes trained to the sky, watching the clouds as they float alongside you.

He doesn’t know how long it was since he started flying, but the next time Taehyung looked over his shoulder, he saw you resting peacefully. He smiled to himself, happy that you were at least safe and he was taking you away from a bad situation. He knew the town nearby was good and if you accepted his help, maybe he could help you get a job? He was unsure though, he just wanted to make sure you were more or less okay before continuing his journey back home, to which his fellow monks would definitely be concerned with how late he’d return, but he supposes they’re used to some people going off track and being late by now.

Taehyung hummed to himself as he kept his eyes trained on the horizon, watching as the sun started to dip below it. It wasn’t too long before he saw the smoke trail of the village appear in his line of sight. Turning his head over his shoulder, he called out to you, “Y/N! Wake up! We’re here!”

He heard the low groan of your voice as you began to wake up. “Hmm wha- what the monkey feathers!” Taehyung heard you shout, getting a good chuckle out of him as you became more lucid.

“We’re about to land in Naizong Village,” he explained as he heard you shuffle closer to look over the side of the saddle. “It’s an easy landing, but I do suggest you hold on!” He smiled at you over his shoulder, only to see you enthralled with the sight of the world coming closer and closer. As Yeontan neared the ground, Taehyung saw a handful of people gathering just outside the village. “Gently, Tannie!” He instructed his bison as he landed on the dirt.

“Well, if it isn’t my favorite nomad!” A voice shouted from the small crowd. Squinting his eyes, he managed to spot the owner of the familiar voice.

“Leni!” Taehyung beamed as he hopped off Yeontan’s head. Leni was the Naizong healer and a friend of his guardian, thus making her his friend too. He grew up visiting her often whenever they made their way back towards the Northern Air Temple. “It’s so good to see you!” He wrapped his arms around the elderly woman.

“It’s good to see you too, Tae! How’s my boy doing? And how’s Ruen?” She questioned as she raised a hand to his face, pinching one of his cheeks.

He opened his mouth to answer, but before he got a word out, your voice from above called out. “Sorry to interrupt, but a little help here?”

“Oh, sorry!” Taehyung pushed himself up into the air, landing softly next to you in the saddle. Ever so carefully, he got you standing before wrapping an arm around your waist. You in return placed your arm over his shoulder. Gently, he propelled the two of you up in the air. Your grip on him tightened as you began to hover midair, eliciting a small smile from him, “I got you,” he said as he started the descent back to solid ground. “There you go,” he kept his arm loose around your waist, letting you use him as a crutch.

“Oh, child! What happened to you?” Leni questioned as Taehyung continued to keep you upright.

“This is Y/N, I rescued him from uh. . .” turning his head to you, he saw a flash of fear in your eyes. He knew then he couldn’t tell Leni the outright truth, as thief was a brand worn forever, no matter what they were stealing. Not wanting to ruin your chances of a second chance, he made up an excuse for your injury. “From a platypus bear trap. Pesky things. I tried to fix him up as best I could, but I’m no healer.” He laughed nervously to himself as Leni looked at you with a sorrowful face.

“I’m sorry dear, let's get you fixed up.” She gestured over to her home over her shoulder and started to head in that direction.

“No, I don’t want to intrude-” You began to protest before Leni shushed you.

“It’s no problem, at all. Any friend of Taehyung is a friend of mine. I can fix up your leg and get you some supper. Come on now.” She assured you as she led the both of your towards her cottage. “Taehyung, Yeontan can help himself to the barn.”

He chuckled at her comment, “She must’ve restocked on hay. Normally she tells him to stay away from the barn.” He remarked to you as you hobbled along next to him. Taehyung stopped walking, moving his arms to pick you up. “Here let me-”

“I’m fine,” you insisted as you attempted to stop him from lifting you up.

“Leni’s house is a bit of a walk and dare I say it, she’s getting ahead.” He chortled at you. “Let me, it’s no problem really.”

Silently, you agreed, moving your hands to wrap around his neck as his arm went beneath your legs. Taehyung was able to catch up fairly quickly to Leni. He was able to catch a few glances down at you while you all made the walk to Leni’s house. Taehyung was quick to notice how you kept your eyes away from his face, focused on the trees or other passing villagers. There was a light blush across your cheeks whenever you seemed to catch him looking at you, but you never said anything.

Upon arriving at Leni’s place, he placed you down seated at the table while your hostess went to fetch her first aid kit. The two of you sat in an awkward silence as you waited for her to return.

“Thank you, by the way.” You said as Taehyung sat himself next to you, he gave you a puzzled look before you continued. “For not telling her about. . . you know.”

“It’s no problem at all,” he replied, scratching the back of his neck. “Do you uh, think this is a good place for you? To start over?” He questioned, curious as to your thoughts and getting away from your old village.

“I think it’ll work just fine,” you smiled at him, “it’s a good place for a fresh start.”

Taehyung moved to speak again when Leni returned with her kit, “Now, let’s see how badly Tae-Tae messed up your leg.”

The air nomad stepped back, standing in the doorway as he watched Leni carefully re-wrapped your leg, which looked a lot better than his poor attempt at it. All set in place, Leni told you to sit tight as she went to grab you some food to eat. Despite your protests of being fine, it wasn’t hard to hear your stomach grumbling, leaving you no choice but to sit and wait until the elderly woman returned.

“She’s nice,” you muttered, giving him a small smile.

“Yeah, she’s really sweet.” He agreed, nodding. A silence fell over you both yet again, unsure of what to say. “Leni can help you get everything in order for you, I uh, I should get going-“

“Taehyung, you will do no such thing.” Leni scolded as she returned to the table, a few bowls of soup in hand. “It’s late, have supper. You can leave at first light.”

“You’re leaving?” He couldn’t help but detect a sense of hurt in your voice.

“It’s just- I mean- I said I’d arrive at the Northern Air Temple in a few days time, I’m so close.” He mumbled, feeling torn between his word and the sense of responsibility he harbored for you.

“Well I’m sure Ruen will understand if you arrive a day late.” Leni said, pushing the bowl towards him. “Now eat. You’re so scrawny.”

Not wanting to argue anymore, he reached for the chopsticks, ready to eat. The meal was eaten in a comfortable silence. When the three of you had finished, bellies full, Taehyung stood up, ready to help Leni clear the table, but the old woman slapped his hand away.

“I can handle the dishes, Taehyung. You can help our guest towards the guest room.” And without saying another word, took the bowls and headed away, leaving Taehyung with no choice other than to help you. Taehyung looked at you sheepishly as you covered your mouth, stifling a laugh.

“Come on, best we listen to her,” he sighed playfully as he stood up. Extending an arm out to you, he helped you rise to your feet, once again offering himself as a crutch. Graciously, you accepted this time, allowing him to lead you further into the house and towards one of the spare rooms.

“Who is Ruen? Is he like your father or something” You asked offhandedly.

Taehyung winced at the question, “Uh, no, he’s my guardian.”

“Isn’t that the same thing?” You furrowed your brows

“No, air nomads aren’t raised by those who gave birth to them,” Taehyung responded cordially as he approached a door, pushing it open.

“Oh, I’m sorry.” Your face fell as he helped you into the room.

“Whatever do you mean?”

“I mean, I know what it feels like to not know your parents,” you said, your voice lowering to a softer tone.

Taehyung frowned as he got you seated down on the bed. “I knew who my parents were, they just weren’t who raised me.” Granted, he rarely ever saw the people who conceived him, all Taehyung ever truly knew was Monk Ruen. He taught him everything he knew; how to cook, clean, and play pai sho. If that was what a father would teach his son, then Ruen would be the closest to that.

Your eyes grew wide in embarrassment. “I-I okay- rats, I’m-”

Taehyung stopped you before you could start to tumble over your words even further. “It’s okay.” With that assurance, your shoulders dropped in relief. An agreed upon silence falling over the two of you. With you under Leni’s roof, he knew you were set for a fresh start. You were going to be okay. Unsure what else to say, Taehyung backed away from the bed. “I’ll let you rest now. Good night.”

“See you in the morning?” You asked out.

Taehyung knew he shouldn’t leave any later than sunrise, but perhaps he could stay a bit longer. He sees Ruen more often than Leni, and now there’s you as well. He should say goodbye to his new friend. “See you in the morning.”

True to his word, Taehyung did see you in the morning to say goodbye, albeit it was only for a few moments, he did have to reach the Northern Air Temple before the end of the day. Your hair was tousled from sleep, and your eyes were bleary. He felt oddly endeared by the sight as you, with the help of Leni, tiredly made your way over toward Yeontan.

“Good morning!” He smiled at the pair of you. Leni was obviously more awake than you, as you grumbled out a response.

“Good morning, Taehyung,” the elderly woman responded. “I have something for you and Ruen,” she said, a ceramic pot in a netted bag. Taehyung didn’t even have to open it to know what was inside, egg custard tart. Bowing in thanks, he carefully took the bag, securing it amongst his other things.

Leni helped set you down near a hay bale beside the sky bison, leaving you to watch as Taehyung finished making sure everything was secured and ready for take off (as well as watch Yeontan nibble on some hay that was set aside for him). Once he had finished, he hopped down to Lenoi, hugging her goodbye.

“Take care of yourself,” she said as she pulled away from him. “And give my love to Ruen.”

“I will, Leni.” Free of Leni’s grasp, he turned to you. You’d risen from your spot on the hay bale, carefully keeping your weight off of your bad foot. “It was wonderful to meet you, Y/N.”

“Likewise,” you smiled, standing there awkwardly.

Taehyung hesitated for a moment, unsure of whether or not to hug you, before ultimately deciding he would. He wrapped his arms around your shoulders, pulling you into him. You stiffened for a moment, but relaxed into his touch, returning the hug. After a few moments, it was you that broke away from the embrace.

“You should probably go. I’ve already made you late enough,” you said, chuckling nervously.

With a small laugh, Taehyung propelled himself up into the air, gently landing on Yeontan’s head. “Take care!” Grabbing the reins in his hands, he gave them a soft snap, “Yeontan, yip-yip!” With that, his sky bison flew off into the air. Looking over, Taehyung watched as you and Leni shrunk down into the size of ants, before completely disappearing from his sight. Yeontan groaned beneath him. “I know, buddy, I like him too.”

After returning to the Northern Air Temple, Taehyung’s mind could not be rid of you. Despite your quick meeting, you had left quite an impact. He thought of you as he cooked fruit pies, between matches of air ball, he couldn’t even meditate as all his mind would center on was of you. Your reactions to his jokes, his food, what you might even think of the temple (although it was forbidden to bring outsiders). If any of the other air nomads had noticed his sudden attachment, they said nothing, and he could only hope they wouldn’t find out.

As the seasons changed; summer into fall, and fall into winter, Taehyung found himself once again, ready to leave the temple for the next. However, he was certain he was going to make a stop to see you again.

After Taehyung’s departure, Leni gave you ample time to heal. But your ankle was permanently damaged, the thick wire of the bola dug deep into your muscle, leaving you with a slight limp. Leni had given you a staff to assist you with walking, helping you adjust.

She’d even let you stay with her, so long as you helped her with her herbalist shop in town. You’d learned a great deal from helping her, with all the sick and injured villagers that would come to her, seeking remedies.

Every morning before breakfast, you’d wake up just around sunrise. You’d make your way out of the house, and sit beside the barn, eyes facing the north. It was obvious that you were anxious to see Taehyung again, yet with each passing day, you grew less and less hopeful to see the sky bison flying in the horizon. He never did say if or when he’d return, but you’d hoped it would’ve been sooner rather than later.

“He won’t be back for a while, you know that right?” Leni’s voice pulled you from deep thought, having followed you out one morning. “I’ve been friends with Ruen since we were both young, and I've only seen him no more than ten times in my life. The air nomads are detached from the world, so a friendship with them is a great honor and blessing. But they never come more than once every few years.” You deflated upon hearing that, but it didn’t stop you from waiting. Something in you knew that Taehyung would return.

However, Leni had begun to tell stories of her time with Ruen and Taehyung: how she’d first met him, some of the many pranks they pulled together as kids, and when Ruen became Taheyung’s appointed guardian. With that came special stories about the air nomad you’d found yourself fond of; hearing tales of him as a child, his own troublemaker years. What was especially heart warming was apparently after Taehyung had earned his mastery tattoos, he’d made a beeline for the Naizong Village, wanting Leni to be the first person he told as he made his rounds across the world again. You could only hope that he would hold you in the same regard one day.

The days grew colder and nights grew longer, signaling the changing of the seasons. You’d grown up in an arid town, close to the Serpent's Pass, miles away from the walls of Ba Sing Se. Being farther north than you’d ever lived before, you were in awe of the thin layer of snow that had covered the village. You’d begun to slightly stand out amongst the other villagers now, bundling up in layers, unused to the cold. While the others weren’t wearing as many layers as you, perhaps only wearing longer sleeves instead.

Per your routine, you woke up at sunrise, making yourself a pot of tea to keep you warm as you stared off into the northern skies. The brisk morning air nipped at your cheeks, slowly waking you more as you sipped on your tea. You blew out a puff of air, your hot breath visible in the chilly morning air. You’d found yourself doing that a lot lately, imagining yourself an airbender, how far your breath would go if you could send it farther than possible. Taehyung had also come to mind, would he find your musing entertaining?

Taking another sip of your tea, a loud yet familiar roar was heard in the distance. Your head shot up, sloshing the tea over your fingers. You hissed, but pushed away the pain, focusing on the fact that a sky bison was heading your way! The beast landed near the barn, and its owner jumped up from their place. While it had been months since you’d last seen his face, you recognized him instantly. Taehyung had returned!

“You’re here! You’re actually here!” You shouted happily as you practically ran over to the nomad, throwing your arms over his shoulders.

“Woah, did you miss me or something?” He laughed as he returned your hug, wrapping his arms around your torso. He was still wearing the same robes from when you’d met him, with no additional covering to keep out the cold. But despite coming down from great heights, his body was warm to the touch, you almost didn’t want to let him go.

“Somewhat,” you muttered. With the sound of the door opening, you’d finally released him, allowing for Leni to make her move to hug him.

“Two visits in one year? Well, I must be dreaming.”

“You aren’t, Leni.” Your heart softened at the sight of them. Even though you’d seen them reunite before, knowing what you know now of them, made your heart squeeze.

With Taehyung back, and unsure how long he was going to stay, you attached yourself to his side. In the back of your mind, you feared he would push you away, wanting his space. But he didn’t, in fact, he welcomed your presence. Every morning, he’d brew you a cup of tea for you to drink whilst he fed Yeontan. During the day, with nothing growing in the cold it left you and Taehyung free to roam the woods. He’d show you some airbending moves, which would knock down the snow that was gathering on the branches. One time the snow landed on you, falling down the back of your shirt, ice cold wetness sliding down your spine. You yelped, but all Taehyung could do was laugh at you.

But the most favorite thing the two of you would do was as just before sunset, Taehyung would help you up onto Yeontan, and he’d take you for a ride. You were asleep that first time you rode the sky bison, not able to fully enjoy the experience that was flying over the world. With the sun slowly falling below the horizon, it turned the sky a magnificent orange. Painting the clouds in red, yellows, and purples. It was a sight to behold, and one you certainly never wanted to forget.

Above the clouds, it was as if it was only you two in the entire world (well, the two of you plus Yeontan). Taehyung sat so close to you, and suddenly the cold winter air no longer disturbed you. Tentatively, you rested your head on his shoulder. You felt him stiffen, and you almost pulled your head back up to apologize, but he relaxed, feeling his chin rest on the top of your head.

“I really like you, Tae,” you whispered, your voice barely audible over the winds. But Taehyung had heard you, his hand finding yours and lacing his fingers with yours.

“I really like you too.”

Gnawing on your bottom lip, you lifted your head up to look at him, eyes occasionally flickering down to his lips. His brows furrowed at your sudden decision to stare, but before he could question you, you pressed your mouth to his. Taehyung made a small noise of surprise, but he melted into the kiss, hand still tightly grasped in yours. Meanwhile, your free hand crawled up to the nape of his neck. The skin of your palm was met by the smallest of fuzz, barely even grown in.

You pulled away momentarily, his breath fanned across your face, the sensation similar to a fresh spring breeze. “You need to shave,” you murmured against his lips.

“What if. . . what if I didn’t?” His words left you frowning. “I’ve never felt this way before, but I know I shouldn’t. Ijust. . . I can’t be without you.”

“You’re. . . suggesting you leave the Air Nomads?” The words had your heart fluttering and your stomach drop. The realization of the consequences had you reeling. “No, those are your people-”

“I love my people,” Tae cut you off. “But I know that forming an attachment like this? They wouldn’t- I would be exiled either way. This is my choice.” His other hand came up to grapes your chin, forcing you to meet his gaze, waves of comfort and reassurance flowed through him.

Smiling at him, your hand that has rested on his neck moved, dragging over the tattooed skin of his head. Barely you saw him shiver at the sensation. “You’d look nice with long hair.”

an embarrassing story

If you could replace any actor in any existing film or TV show with Noah, who would you swap?

🥰❤️

An embarrassing story:

This was surprisingly hard! I guess either I don't get embarrassed easily or it's because I never go anywhere or do anything. You know, it's hard to get embarrassed when only your cats are seeing you lol. I had to call my friend and consult her, but even she couldn't remember anything that would have happened to me. Maybe a few things from when I was living in Italy as an au pair when I was young and irresponsible. Once I got so drunk on a night out that I was still drunk in the morning when the baby woke up, so I went and picked him up and was carrying him and the baby monitor down the stairs and feeling very woozy and so I fell and dropped the baby monitor and in all honesty was this 🤏🏻 close to dropping the baby as well. And that's when I heard the cleaning lady come running from the kitchen. I had just got back on my feet and was in so much fucking pain and just sucked it up and smiled and told her I just dropped the baby monitor. She only told me to be careful, but I'm sure she could see and smell that I was drunk. But to my knowledge she never told the parents about this. Oh, and the baby was fine! Like I said, luckily I didn't drop him. Oh, and another tale from those days. My friend had come over from Finland to visit me and I wanted to take her out one night. So we got ready, wore our best clothes and what we deemed very pretty make up and I drove with her to another town where my boyfriend was living at the time. We came to a parking lot and were looking for a parking spot (probably looked a little lost or unfamiliar with the place) when two police officers came up to the car and told me to open the car window. He was asking me very sternly why we were there and what we were doing etc. I was talking to them in Italian, telling that we came to town to meet my boyfriend bla bla bla. This conversation took a while, so my friend asked me in Finnish, what we were talking about and that's when the policemen's suspicions amped up tenfold and they asked to see our passports and why we were in Italy in the first place. That's when it clicked for me. I realized that they thought we were sex workers. We found out later that there is apparently a lot of prostitution in that town and most of the women working the streets are from eastern European countries and I guess these police officers counted Finland as such and our clothes and make up didn't help lolololol Also try explaining to a person who's never heard the word au pair, what it means without it sounding sus 😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭

If you could replace any actor in any existing film or TV show with Noah, who would you swap?

The first character that came to mind is the og sad boy Christian from Moulin Rouge! But on the other hand I would love to see him in a really good action-drama. Maybe even as a villain. So maybe another Ewan McGregor character, Father Patrick McKenna (the camerlengo) in Angeles & Demons. Or nah... Ooh, I think Noah would be great as Colter Stevens in Source Code! Oh! I know! This is my final answer! Sam Bell in Moon. That's it. That's what I'd love to see the most.

#thanks for asking friend! 🩷🩷🩷

Out of curiosity, what's your personal preference for the fic actor characterization poll you posted? Thanks!

Original Poll.

Well my first instinct was to say I do like it when fics incorporate the actor into the character...

(Talking specifically about Bucky, I was thinking about the RL-example of how they put him in Bucharest, in CACW, because SebStan is Romanian, so he could speak Romanian in the scene. I thought it was neat!

So I do like it when fic-Bucky has specific Romanian or Eastern European heritage, a la the actor, because it lampshades this very obvious aspect of SebStan's appearance... which it would be odd to ignore, given the context of the Brooklyn which Bucky grew up in (with rampant antisemitism targeted at EE Jews, where looking EE would have an impact on others' perception of him and his perception of the world.

Owing to-- I guess you could call it colorism? shadeism? --back then, this Bucky would've grown up, for example, watching actors who resemble him being typecast as villains and monsters -- Little Caesar, Frankenstein, etc. Boris Karloff wasn't even EE!) You could also read Bucky being Romanian as a callback to Jewish Romanian Stan Lee, as well.)

...But then I realised I'm actually in the 'depends' camp.

Depends on the character and depends what the actor-trait is.

Those Bucky examples fit the character, but while sometimes the actor-trait adds depth, or addresses a plot hole, sometimes it's just OOC for the character.

I don't mind, eg. people incorporating physical description that very obviously references the actor playing the character, or adding in Cevans' boob-grab laugh into Steve's characterisation, because neither of those things affect Steve's personality. But adding in Cevans traits (or traits of other characters he has played) which don't match Steve's personality ... that does bother me.

For example: even despite Steve's drastically different background, Cevans' tattoos could actually work, on Steve, because it's a counter-cultural thing (compatible with his politics), and Steve grew up in a rough area of Brooklyn with loadsa tattooed sailors around, plus if Steve was a poor amateur artist then tattooing would be one of the few professions he could incorporate that into!

But making Steve (het-romance avoiding, demi- or ace- readable Steve) into a (how can I put this diplomatically? let's go with-) ladykiller, a la Cevans in his slooty era? That just isn't Steve, to me!

And IMO that goes for Bucky, too.

SebStan has multiple 'sad gay spoiled lil rich boy' roles under his belt, and I just can't vibe with AU fics that make Bucky one, because he's nothing like that... I feel like you could swap in a baby Howard Stark without changing anything, and that's usually a sign of poor characterisation in my book.

(Plus, from a shippy perspective, Bucky's upbringing (facilitating defence of underdogs against bullies) + experience of adversity + shared life experiences are all vital to his personality and to what makes him attractive to Steve... so cutting out all those Bucky traits just to put OtherSebStanCharacter's Traits in their place doesn't work, for me! I'm left wondering '...but why would Steve like this guy?')

Another example: SebStan's appealingly awkward theatre-nerd™ clumsiness?

Yeah, it's adorkable, but it makes no damn sense for a Bucky who's supposed to be this former-ladykiller *ahem* dancer sniper supersoldier, etc!

So that's where I am on it.

Hope that answers the question for you, Anon!

You know sometimes something will happen in fandom that feels not quite racist but still iffy and I never know if I should say something or ignore it because it never seems intended to be racist.

The not quite racist thing that inspired me to make this post is actually a crossover au.

Specifically the Paulina Sanchez (from Danny Phantom) and Damian Wayne (from DC Batman) are twins au.

Which feels vaguely racist because I feel like the root of the au is that Paulina and Damian have skin tones close to the same color, green(ish in Paulina's case) eyes, and black hair.

Even though Paulina is latina and Damian is a mix of middle eastern, chinese, and white.

And it's mainly the twin version of the Damian and Paulina are siblings au that gives me this discomfort, because it seems like most of the people who write for this AU don't mention race swapping as part of the AU.

So my brain automatically goes "Ah yes, these twin children, one who is all latina, and the other who is middle eastern/chinese/white, who came from the coupling of a white guy and a middle eastern/chinese woman."

They don't even bring up Mr. Sanchez, Paulina's doting single father. No he's essentially reduced to just some guy or completely absent in these aus by the nature of the twin AU.

Especially versions where Paulina is raised along side Damian in the League.

Even though they could do the race swapping and make it interesting. Having Paulina being ethically arabian/chinese/white but raised in latino culture due to her latino adoptive father is interesting.

Heck making Bruce a Latino who's completely disconnected from his culture due to his parents dying when he was a kid and then being raised completely outside of Latino culture, with one of his kids being far more connected to their latino roots is interesting.

But no one ever seems to go those routes.

It's why I vastly prefer the half-siblings version of this au.

Where even if Paulina's mom is Talia Al Ghul, her dad is still doting papa Sanchez, and not Bruce Wayne.

Damian was grown in an artificial womb to be perfected as the League's future leader (and Ra's future meat suit), while Paulina was grown in Talia's womb as part as a long term undercover mission that involved her developing a civilian identity and living as a civilian for a few years while gathering information.

She married Mr. Sanchez and had Paulina under a false identity, and then when it was time to go back to the League faked her death.

Ra's didn't really care about Paulina's existence due to her birth outside of the League, and her being the daughter of just some random guy as far as Ra's was concerned.

Like Nyssa's kids and grandkids. Decedents of his who aren't part of the League are irrelevant until proven otherwise useful in Ra's mind. He full on let all of Nyssa's decedents get murdered in the holocaust because he cared so little about them.

If they aren't part of the League he does not care they exist unless he can use them in some way.

So in conclusion while I don't actually think the Paulina Sanchez and Damian Wayne are twins crossover AU is actually racist, it does make me cringe a little because if feels a bit like someone went "these two light brown skinned characters look similar enough. Why not have them be twins" and then thought nothing more about it.

And I feel like I don't get this weird feeling with the AUs where Danny and Damian are twins or full blood siblings because it feels like most of them mention Danny being race swapped to the same ethnicity as Damian, even if he's also said to be white passing (though not all of the stories make him white passing).

Though I tend to feel this way about most AUs where two characters who are different races are made full biological siblings and race swapping is no where to be seen.

Half siblings I can deal with, especially if it's not a stretch or impossible for the character to be multiracial already, because we never see one of their bio-parents.

Exactly how it is with Paulina (you thought my ADHD ass lost the plot didn't you). We never see hide nor hair of Paulina's mother in canon, she's never even mentioned actually, and while Paulina is the spitting image of her father, I'd 100% buy Talia Al Ghul getting married and having a baby as part of some kind of long term information gathering mission, and that baby being Paulina Sanchez.

So yeah, that's why I prefer the Paulina and Damian are half-siblings through Talia AUs over Paulina and Damian are twins AUs.

Also, protective older half sister Paulina who though raised fully civilian can make grown men cry using just her words, teaches her adorable grumpy little brother the correct way to do eyeliner and that the humble nail file is the ideal secret weapon is all I need in life.

Like I need Talia's head bitch in charge energy to be genetic. None of this, Paulina spent her early life in the League of course she's so cutthroat, nonsense, no she's just born like that.

#So I have feelings about the Paulina and Damian are twins au #I don't seriously think anyone who writes for or enjoys this au is racist #but also this AU can give off the vibe of people seeing two not-white characters and going:#“Ah yes these two are similar enough shades of brown to be siblings”#even though they're completely different races and the vast majority of the time that just goes completely unaddressed #it also gives off a really weird vibe because it feels like I've never seen a Damian and Paulina are twins post where there is race swappin #but also not everyone needs to be related to Bruce #let Talia have relationships outside of him

Week 3.

Jan. 16

I woke up around 1PM.

Did a bit of the usual and got some iced coffee, before today’s exercises.

First, today’s DD. 10 circle push-ups with EC. Very sloppy, but acceptable for my energy levels today.

Last. Chapter 13 of the AoP. I briefly thought about trying to go for Level 3 (7 sets, 20 reps per exercise per set), But by the time I got to the bounce + bounce + split jacks I went “noep, not today.“ So I did the remaining workout at Level 2 (5 sets, 10 reps per exercise per set).

That being said, I did a few extra rounds of half jacks to chase a bit of bliss from the bouncing and jumping jacks portions of this workout, afterwards.

I updated my logs, did some of the usual, and got some more writing done for the iZ!AU.

I went to bed obscenely late again.

Jan. 17

I woke up after 1PM today.

Did a bit of the usual before exercise.

First, today’s DD. 2′ sitting punches with EC. I counted 248 reps by the end of it. Definitely started to feel it in my abs after the first 1′ or so. Enjoyable exercise

Last. Chapter 14 of the AoP. Traveled again to start off - 15TP. Level 2 as high knees, in one go.

Did workout proper at Level 3 with max rest (5 sets, 2x12 push-ups per set). Push-ups got a bit sloppy but this was pretty manageable. Enjoyed the rest of it, though.

Spent a good chunk of the day on Movie Night, with the co-conspirator. We watched “Flubber” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”.

I also got a bit of writing done, before turning in.

Went to bed in the red zone, but earlier than yesterday.

Jan. 18

I woke up after 11AM.

After some of the usual and some dishes, did my exercise.

First, today’s DD. 2′ elbow clicks with EC. I counted 140 reps completed by the end. Pretty breezy.

Last. Chapter 15 of the AoP. A “Jobs“ day. Did all three jobs in the chapter plus one extra from the Canis Board. Took more than an hour to get it all done and kicked my own ass in the process. Probably triggered some ETD again, probably overdid it a little bit.

I traveled a total of 119TP to get to the job locations and back. Level 2, as high knees. I frequently broke up the HKs into bursts/sets of 9-15TP increments. Definitely got harder to get through near the end. (Also broke it up by segments of distance between locations.)

The jobs I did, where they were, and how broke those up:

[Chapter] - Mines Job = 800 overhead punches (4x200)

[Chapter] - Bunker 7 Job = 500 knife hand strikes (100/100 + 100/100 + 50/50)

[Board - Canis] - Bunker 7 Job = 500 Squats (5x100)

[Chapter] - Camp Mira Job - 100 calf raises (2x50)

I probably should’ve expected that this was going to be pretty time and energy-consuming.

But I apparently had the inertia to make today’s Hello Fresh Meal. Shrimp Spaghetti with a kick. It was alright. Probably spent a bit too long preparing the shrimp in all of it. :P

And then I had the silly idea to make a databent mash-up “Forbidden Fruit“ with “The Rat“.

So I basically pulled an allnighter. Getting to bed at like 11AM...

Jan. 19

I woke up “proper“ after like 2PM.

Did a bit of the usual before today’s exercise.

First, today’s DD. 60 knee-to-elbow twists with EC. Fairly fun and breezy. Definitely felt it in my sore hamstrings from recent workouts.

Last. Chapter 16 of the AoP. First section is some traveling. 22TP, this time. Level 2, as high knees and done in one go. Quads also being a bit stiff/sore made this a bit of a challenge.

The meat of today’s workout involved fighting a guy named Boris. Just 5′ of non-stop jabs+crosses. I swapped stances at the 2′30″ mark. I counted 616 punches thrown, happy I managed a pretty consistent 2/sec pace. Enjoyable - regardless of sore arms. (Mountain Men Perk Get.) :,D

I spent much of the rest of my day on the usual stuff.

I went to bed in the red zone but far earlier than yesterday.

Jan. 20

I woke up after 1PM today.

I basically tanked my day reading an engrossing SaSi long fic. I don’t regret that, but it did wind up leading me to rain check all my exercise for the day. :,D

I had no business going to bed obscenely late, but that fic I was reading just filled me with restless excitement after I caught up with it.

Jan. 21

I woke up after 1PM again.

Spent a bit of time on the usual before doing some exercise.

First, yesterday’s DD. 40 side elbow plank rotations with EC (20/20). That was pretty intense, but doable.

Second, today’s DD. 2′ leg raise hold with EC (head up). Breathing. Always go back to the breathing for intense holds of any kind.Last minute or a half was when I really had to start digging in here.

Last. Chapter 17 of the AoP. First section involved more travelling, 31TP. Level 2, as High knees, split into 12+10+9.

I did the main work out at Level 3 (5 sets, 10 Push-ups + plank walk-outs per) max rest. I definitely just barely got through it by the skin of my teeth. My sore quads and hamstrings felt it a lot during the walk-outs (and the jump-ins). The dragon push-ups actually gives the limbs a bit more of an actual reprieve.

After Dinner and dishes, I spent most of my day on the usual and on TVT.

I went to bed a couple hours earlier than yesterday - but still in the red zone.

Jan. 22

I woke up after 2PM today.

After a bit of the usual and chatting, I did my exercise for the day.

First, today’s DD. 30″ push-up plank hold with EC. I tried to lock-in a bit better form and notice my pecs’ engagement more. Arms really got to feeling it near the end.

Last. Chapter 18 of the AoP. Today was a challenge (more structurally than my own sense of difficulty) - string together some given exercises in any order non-stop for 10′. I’m happy I was able to manage it handily, though i didn’t bother counting reps - this was the sequence II went with:

1′ jab+cross punches (30″ each side)

1′ uppercuts (30″ each side)

1′ hook punches (30″ each side)

1′ side kicks (30″ each side)

1′ bounces

1′ knee strikes (30″ each side)

1′ elbow strikes (30″ each side)

1′ front kicks (30″ each side)

1′ jab+cross punches (30″ each side)

1′ bounces

Did a few extra bounces and half jacks to chase some of that good feeling.

Got going on today’s Hello Fresh Meal after that. Middle Eastern chickpea bowls. I didn’t mind it, all-in-all. Dad liked the little tomatoes.

After some chatting, BSing on TVT, and doing dishes, I got really inspired/motivated to write for another horror SaSi AU I was gnawing on.

This did mean going to bed at the break of dawn. But screw it, I’m still excited for what I have going thus far.

BEST OF LUCK

(Set in an AU with Victorian era! Harry) You love another from afar, but your hand is already promised to a very snarky and at times, pompous Mr. Styles. Your mother and father are rooting for the relationship wholeheartedly while you pine for some distant, beautiful creature. Will you condemn yourself to love someone who’s affections you can’t reciprocate? Or will you finally admit the truth and live your life as you’d wish?

Warnings: angst ??

A thick fog covered the ground, hovering in a ghostly fashion like some restless spirit waiting to be seen. The sun was just breaking into the morning sky but the fog and the blanket of clouds blocked it from coming out into full view, casting a faint yellow glow in its place in the eastern sky. The birds in their respective trees on the edge of the expansive land in front of you, sang their tune, letting you know that the day was finally beginning. Though empty, the glittering fields standing in between the woodlands held some sort of story, a past that needed recollecting. You’d recall playing with your cousins, tumbling down the small hills and getting dried grass all over your clothes and in your hair. The woods held all of your secrets and magic that you had created in your childhood, and they’d never utter a word.

Your family’s home stood behind you nearly two hundred yards away, each soul still sound asleep in their bedrooms. The brick farmhouse was beginning to show its age, the once deep red hue was now a peach color and the black shutters were beginning to chip away from the many storms and years that plagued it. The glass in the windows was even aging, apparent from the ripple-like appearance it had. The roof had patches of shingles that were either missing or disheveled. The chickens in the coop behind the house were clucking and like the birds in the trees, were ready for the day to start. The grass beneath you was damp with dew, you let your feet relish in the feeling, squelching every time you dared move them. You looked down and saw the dirt and grass clippings caked to your feet, knowing your mother would have something to say when you decided to meander back to the house. But for now, in your white nightgown and your hair tied back with some string, you would be one with the ground and the sky that threatened to brighten at any moment. When you had these little meetings with the earth in the early morning, you felt invincible like nothing could tear you away from it.

That was true until she came.

To others, she may have just been a passing figure like a ship in the middle of the sea when all is quiet and dark. To you, she was always present in your mind, never ignored. Your heartbeat quickened when she came around the side of the house, carrying feed for the chickens that were still continuing on with their noise. Her golden hair cascaded down her back in waves, tied back much like yours was but with a white ribbon. Simple accents like this always drew your attention for the fact that that it seemed so effortless on her part. A ribbon, a different colored garment or even a slight blush on her cheeks, it always causes you to take notice.

As she neared the chicken coop, her eyes never met yours. Desperation was all you could feel, desperation for her to look up and see you sitting in the grass almost like a child, for her to meet your eyes and smile. Only on two occasions could you remember her smiling at you, a genuine smile, not those smiles she would exchange when she passed you in the house or when you swapped pleasantries throughout the day. A real smile was what you longed for. The type of smile that would send you over the moon if she dared let her guard down for even just a moment.

She never wavered though. She always kept about her business and didn’t give you a second thought, at least that was what it felt like. You knew in the deepest parts of your heart that even if she did happen to glance up one day and acknowledge your existence, you might just die on the spot which could be even more damaging than the fact that she was in her own world without you. The longing you felt to be under her skin, to smell her hair and meld your bodies together, it drove you insane.

Her name, was Elle. Elle didn’t come from a prominent or wealthy family, you weren’t even sure she had a family at all. There always seemed to be a loneliness buried under her warm exterior but you couldn’t be sure. If she was lonely, her demeanor never let on.

She tip toed around the chicken coop, being careful not to step on any of the birds running underneath her feet, spreading the feed around and letting it run through her fingers. She smiled to herself and your heart fluttered inside of its cage — did she know you were watching? Or did the thought of another cross her mind and cause this look of delight?

After spreading the rest of the chicken’s breakfast around the ground, she wiped her hands on the apron tied around her waist and looked up to the sky. Her nostrils flared as she took in a deep inhale and shifted her body from side to side, allowing the farm air along with the forest scent fill her nose. You stared unashamedly — mesmerized by every movement and facial expression she made. Elle was a beautiful girl, there was no doubt about that but it was more so her elegance even while doing the most trivial jobs, that had you wrapped around her finger. There was an innocence about her and worldliness all in one. It seemed like nothing bad could touch her while at the same time, daunting things had been seen by those bright blue eyes of hers. Of course, this was merely an assumption made due to lack of conversation and even eye contact for that matter.

“Y/N!” You nearly jumped out of your skin at the shrill voice that came from your right side. You clutched your heart and immediately turned to see your mother standing over you, already dressed for the day and probably disapproving of your nightgown clad body.

“Mother!” You said quickly, secretly terrified that she had read your mind or even worse — saw you staring at Elle. You scrambled up to get off of the ground and brush the earth off of you.

“What in God’s name are you doing out here again? I mean goodness child, it’s barely dawn and you’ll catch a chill.” You loved your mother dearly but the nagging was incessant. You knew it was all an act of love but sometimes you just wished you could communicate with her in only looks rather than words. It sure would save a lot of time.

“I was just —“ you tried to defend yourself but got interrupted.

“Ah ah — none of your excuses. Harry is on his way and we must be hasty to get you ready by the time the carriage arrives.” She granted you a look of disapproval as she grasped your wrist, not too forcefully but firmly. Your heart sank at the sound of his name. Harry. The man your father had hand picked for you to marry, the man you could stand for a mere five minutes until your blood was boiling and you would have to flee the room. A good man, your mother would always remind you and you suspected she was trying to convince herself rather than you. Really, he wasn’t a terrible human being, but you had other predelictions and those didn’t happen to include Harry. He was agreeable at times, but had a bad habit of making passive comments that had hints of poison hidden behind them.

“Pardon me mother but Harry, really? On such short notice I — “ for a second time, but it wouldn’t be the last, she cut you off.

“Yes, child, today! We discussed this earlier in the week, your father and I, and you as we sat and ate dinner the other day. You seemed very partial to it. Why the sudden change?” She rambled on. The truth was, you really didn’t remember the conversation she spoke of at all. This happened often, you’d be off deep in some day dream, a long reverie and your mother would be going on. However you wouldn’t hear it, her words were muffled as you sunk deeper into your fantasy. You would simply nod and act like you’d hung on to every word she said.

“No change mother,” You squeaked out, snapped out of your trance, fearful of being found out again. “I’m actually quite looking forward to it.” You lied right through your teeth, your jaw aching from clenching it tight.

Guiltily, you followed your mother up the path to the front of the house. Walking by the garden in the back, you took one last glance at Elle. She was checking the vegetable patch for any tomatoes or peppers that may have sprung up over night. You held your gaze until you rounded the corner of the house, the orange brick nearly swiping your arm as you lacked attention to it.

“Come on!” Your mother grabbed your hand, apparently you weren’t walking fast enough for her taste. The scene would probably appear ridiculous to an onlooker, a grown woman being dragged to the house by her mother to force her to dress for a man she would never love. Such was your life as of now though, and there didn’t seem to be anyway to change it.

The giant slate shaded front door stood in front of the two of you as you came around the house. Your mother let go of your hand and looked down the gravel curved driveway for what you assumed must be Harry.

“Is he coming soon?” You asked, praying the answer was no and that he’d arrive later or hopefully never, you thought privately.

“Y/N I didn’t startle you out of your daydreams for my health, yes he’ll be here within hours — maybe minutes!” Your mother rolled her eyes at your question. She was a loving woman really, she just had a patience as thin as freshly, frozen ice and her neuroticism seemed to grow with age.

Your stomach began to turn at the thought of your soon-to-be-betrothed arriving at any second. The anxious feeling would always begin in your hands, a slight tingle and then your chest would begin to ache. It would start to course throughout your veins and always affect your stomach the worst — not necessarily nausea but a butterfly sensation that would cause feelings of impending doom. It wasn’t necessarily the man himself who caused this panic inside of you but rather the thought of never having Elle and forcing a feeling towards someone, no matter how incorrigible the person might be. None of it seemed fair but then again, your father always told you nothing ever would be.

Your mother pulled open the large door and waved you inside, heading straight for the staircase in the foyer to get you upstairs and dressed.

“Mother really, I can do it myself,” You huffed, not wanting her to think this was disrespect but rather an attempt at some alone time with your imagination.

“Nonsense, you never pick out anything proper.”

You wanted to scream. In some ways, she wanted you to be independent but in many others, she was suffocating. You’d been alive for two decades and some change and had enough sense to pick out your own outfit for meeting a suitor. You knew she would never let up though, so letting her have her way was easier than the alternative.

She frantically rummaged through your closet and chest of drawers, a desperate attempt to find something to make your second meeting with the man perfect. You almost scoffed to yourself at the thought of any interaction between the two of you being perfect.

“Try this one,” Your mother chose a light baby blue frock, practically tossing it behind her and almost hitting your face. You glanced up towards the ceiling, asking whatever god there was to please rescue you from this entire day.

“The color’s too much,” you had to admit, holding the dress up to you in the mirror and frowning at its garish flare against your skin.

“Alright, well — lets see,” she continued to throw around every item of clothing in the room frantically. After a few minutes of waiting on another piece of fabric to come flying at your head, you decided to take a seat on your bed. You sighed as your body sunk into the mattress, the dull ache in your gut still nagging at you.

“Now I think this one will definitely do,” she carried a cream dress out of the closet, smiling at the item of clothing like it was your matrimonial garb. You did have to admit that it was a simple but pretty gown that seemed to pair with your skin tone and wasn’t too gaudy. You rose up from the bed and reached a hand out to touch the fabric softly. You rubbed some of the cotton in between two of your fingers, your mother staring at you, waiting on approval.

“Well go on, try it on,” handing the dress to you, she began to pick up some of the others and return them to their proper place in the room.

You removed your clothes, never ashamed of your mother being in the room as you had an unspoken bond regardless of the bickering and nagging. Once stripped, you slipped into the creamy colored linen and turned to your mirror against the wall. You couldn’t be sure but you swore the woman in the mirror was almost smiling and had a twinge of confidence gleaming in her eyes. This dress would do.

Your mother turned to you, and smiled broadly. She spread her arms out and approached you, embracing you fully.

“You look absolutely beautiful, how is he going to resist?” She giggled and gave your cheek a quick peck.

“Now let’s do something with that hair.” She fussed, and you laughed to yourself, knowing that her comments always followed with another gouge at you. However, this was just how the two of you operated and it would probably always be this way. It wasn’t conventional but nothing in your life even closely resembled conventionality anymore.

———

You took a deep breath while doing one more look over yourself in the mirror. Your anxiety had been a small seed at first but grew quickly driven by the incessantness of your mother and the earlier sighting of Elle. Now your trepidation had exceeded itself and you found yourself constantly checking the window to see that black and gold ornate carriage rolling down the gravel past the forestry on both sides of the house in a familiar fashion. You’d seen many carriages coming down the road, whether it be family or close friends of your parents and even friends from your schooling in earlier childhood years, but those visits had never caused such a frantic and confused feeling inside of you before.

You’d been pacing the room for some time and decided to take a seat in the chair beside your window, grabbing a book by your bed that you’d been working on finishing. As you got sucked into the story, you didn’t even notice that the carriage had come crunching down the gravel road and was nearly halfway to your door.

“Darling! Y/N!” You faintly heard your mother call from downstairs. Your head fell into your hands and you realized it was finally time, time to face the music and begin this silly charade. After resting your head for a moment and trying to gain some courage, you looked outside with a short glance. The carriage was still coming down the gravel driveway and stopped just before the front door of your quaint little home. The driver halted the horses and stepped down off of his seat to open the door for the man of the hour. You’d only met him once before at a gathering in town, however the meeting was short lived and hadn’t gone well. You hadn’t really given him much thought until your parents had decided he would be your husband.

You saw one black boot step out of the carriage, and then a full body followed. His large green overcoat seemed too heavy for the weather and his curls were in a wild arrangement all over his head. He was brushing something off of his coat and you prayed he wouldn’t look up and see you peeking out of the window, spying from a distance. A white ruffled blouse was popping out from under the coat and his pants were perfect with no wrinkles in sight. This was a well put together man and you had no idea why he’d agree to marry you, a girl who couldn’t even make up her mind half of the time. He was speaking to the driver, probably giving instructions, and then your mother yelled more shrilly from the first story again.

“Y/N! Are you deaf?!”

You muttered curses to yourself and finally stood up, walking towards the door like it was the gallows and you were being marched towards your death. You felt a hard lump in your throat as you swallowed and sweat began to pool under your arms and near your forehead. You heard a firm knock at the front door and braced yourself for your mother to be overly zealous.

“Mr. Styles! What a pleasant day we’re having, made even better by your arrival.” She spoke calmly but you could sense the excitement she was holding back.

You took the stairs step by step, painfully slow, an act of self torture.

“It’s lovely to see you Mrs. Y/L/N, my day is already pleasant seeing you as well.” His English drawl was thick and he allowed every word to practically drip out of his mouth like honey. He didn’t enunciate but every word he spoke was clear, he was thoughtful with his speech.

You only had a few more steps left but you dared not look up from them. You feared you might fall or worse, your eyes would meet his and he’d have delusions of grandeur about the two of you together. You knew your mother was waiting for this to be a fairytale, for you and Harry to exchange only a glance and fall in love, having the perfect wedding and a child following soon after. It was embarrassing that she had this much hope, but only you felt this because your secret was still safe.

At the bottom of the stairs, you allowed yourself to glance up but never make eye contact at first. Luckily, Harry and your mother were still in conversation about the weather and catching up about their whereabouts like old friends. You had to admit, he did look quite dashing. His hair, wild but tamed in certain places and his dimples deepening into his cheek as he smiled at your mother’s pleasantries. His eyes gleamed and his teeth were almost blinding, and that jawline could slice any young woman’s heart in half. You felt like you had betrayed Elle by thinking of him like this, and a pang or guilt surged throughout you. You shook it off to be in the moment and not seem distant.

“Well might I say, you look stunning.” Harry turned from your mother to you, your cheeks instantly felt hot as you noticed his eyes wandering your entire body until he eventually met your gaze.

You tried your best to force out a smile and nodded your head slightly towards his direction. “Thank you, Mr. Styles. Lovely to see you.” You said curtly, the less conversation — the better.

“Y/N here has been elated since finding out you were coming to visit.” You could’ve slapped your mother for saying such a thing, she had to know that was a lie.

“Is that so?” He put his arms behind his back and turned on one heel to face you better. A fire grew within your belly when you noticed the triumphant smirk on his face, thinking he had you like putty in his hands.

You paused for a moment and decided now was the time to put on the sarcasm. Your first meeting with Harry had been quite the back and forth and it seemed it was going to be just the same this time. You suspected he knew this marriage wasn’t ideal in your eyes but for some reason he took some sick joy in the fact that you weren’t happy about it.

“Oh yes, elated doesn’t even begin to cover it.” You charged back at his smirk with your words. You both held each other’s stare for a few seconds, seeing who would break first.

Your mother looked back and forth between the two of you, gradually growing uncomfortable at this unspoken challenge. “Well I’ll leave you two to it then,” she said, too cheerily. She gave your back one pat and smiled at you quickly before going off into another part of the house. Now it was just and you Harry, staring each other down and allowing the silence to say more than you could.

“Is there any particular reason you’re not fond of me, Miss Y/L/N?” He finally asked, his eyes like laser beams directed right at you. His stare wasn’t harsh though, he did have soft eyes and expressions most of the time but a curiosity was burning behind those green, almost sea glass colored eyes. Most women must find him perfectly charming and handsome, a perfect match but you weren’t budging.

“No particular reason...besides all of them,” you smirked this time at your quip and absent mindedly shrugged, trying your very best to irritate the man and then maybe, just maybe, he’d leave.

Harry filled the air around you with a click of his tongue. “Such a shame.” You waited for a second part to his reverb but only received more intense eye contact, the two of you locking eyes, almost grappling, to see who would gain the upper hand.

“What’s the shame?” You shifted your feet slightly, growing tired of standing in the same position.

“That you’re not fond of me,” he boldly took one step closer to you. You stuck your chin out and raised an eyebrow to signal for him to elaborate.

“Well Miss Y/L/N, it’s just that...I’m quite fond of you so,” his smirk returned this time, the deep dimple dipping back into his cheek once more. He shuffled slightly, coat swinging behind him, trying to get closer to you.

You cleared your throat. “That is a shame Mr. Styles. I’m afraid however it’s really arranged marriages I’m not fond of, rather than you.”

“Arranged marriages are what the people of this world thrive on. My parent’s for example have had a happy arranged marriage fo’ twenty-five years.”

“Well good for them, I just don’t foresee the same for myself. Love is what truly counts in my eyes.” You crossed your arms, letting him know you were hard pressed and not budging on the subject.

He scoffed, saw your eyes widen and then tried to play it off as a cough. His smugness aggravated your nerves, you could feel it like a prickle on the back of your neck.

“You don’t share the same sentiment?” Your voice was edgy.

“Not exactly, no,” all the while he spoke, he was still looking you over and hiding a smile, which was still more of a snigger.

“Hmph, well to each his own I suppose,” you sighed deeply and rolled your eyes, not giving any inclination that you were worried about him noticing.

“Shall we go to the parlor?” He stepped back away from you and gestured to the room off to the left of the foyer. You didn’t respond with words but simply just nodded, it seemed conversation wouldn’t be conducive for the two of you today. The sound of your walking towards the parlor reminded you of the dreaded ticking of a clock, letting you know that time is slipping right through your fingers. Once in the room, your eyes flitted to the family paintings on the dark wooden walls. Staring back at you was your great-grandfather, a war hero, and aunt Sophia, who had been a midwife for nearly all her life. Your grandmother was above the fireplace, giving you a tight lipped smile. Your heart always softened at her portrait, you were close with her when she was alive and shared many fond memories together. Though grandmother was a stubborn woman, set in her quirky ways, she understood you and you wondered if you could have ever opened up to her about Elle and this marriage you opposed.

Harry was also looking around at the paintings and treasures on the shelves, walking slowly throughout the room and running his hand along the back of chaise opposite you. Your eyes fixated on his slender fingers and pondered what it might feel like to have them running down your back softly or tucking a stray hair behind your hair. Again, you shook those type of pleasant thoughts about him away. You’d only ever felt that way about Elle’s beautiful fingers, not quite as long as Harry’s, but dainty and gentle.

“The dress looks lovely on you, if I hadn’t reiterated that before.” Harry came around the side of the chaise, taking his green coat off and laying it beside him as he took a seat on the striped cushion. You tried not to let your expression change as you noticed his chest peeking out from under the white ruffled blouse. He had some kind of necklace on, a long silver chain you could barely see. His collarbones were noticeable as well as a few tiny chest hairs near his sternum.

“Thank you, nice of you to say,” you said, now smoothing away wrinkles of your dress in your lap.

“You say that as if I don’t always have nice things to say Y/N.” His expression was still one of complacent joy, a small smile on his face showing his front teeth slightly.

“You don’t seem to recall our first meeting, do you?” You remained standing, leaning on a matching striped high backed chair.

“I thought we got on quite well if my memory serves me correctly.” He sat up straight, getting ready to defend himself. You laughed, amused at his statement.

“I think our memories serve us in different ways, Harry.” You were more calm this time, getting used to the back and forth between the two of you.

“My apologies if your memories of me aren’t pleasant, I’ve been told I can be —“

“Difficult?” You interrupted, because whatever adjective he had in mind would be much too self serving. He laughed at this, a genuine, hearty laugh that filled the room all the way up to the ceiling.

“Was that amusing to you?” You asked him, genuinely confused.

Harry stood up now and began to take another lap around the room.

“Everything about you just confuses me Y/N, and yes, amuses me as well.” His hands were behind his back again as he inspected an old manuscript of the Bible on a bookshelf near the far window.

“Hm, good.” That was all you could manage to get out but this pleased you as it would confuse him even further. You were glad he wasn’t under the illusion you felt the same way and that you puzzled him. You’d rather be a mystery than understood.

“It’s not good,” this time he looked at you but his brow was furrowed and he seemed defeated. “It’s frustrating.”

“I’m sorry I...” You trailed off, realizing after saying it that you weren’t really apologetic. Frustrated? You thought, perfect.

“No....no, you’re not.” He pulled himself away from the shelves and looked deeply into your eyes, trying to decipher your code. Slowly, he began to walk toward you.

“But that’s what I like about you, you don’t seem to care.” His mouth was halfway turned into a smile, not in a smirk but more so in a satisfied manner.

Damned if I do, damned if I don’t, you thought. When you acted interested, he loved it and when you pushed away, the reaction was the same. How could you ever win?

He was now standing in front of you, towering like a giant in fairytales you’d read as a girl. There was a foot or two between your bodies but you knew he would want to close that gap in a matter of minutes. Your breath hitched in your throat at the thought of close contact, thinking of his fingers once more. Heat rose to your face, embarrassed of the thoughts you were having about him once again. Would he know you were thinking about him? Would Elle look in through the window and never see you in a different light like you so desperately wanted?

Goosebumps began to rise all over your arms and a shiver tumbled down your spine as he lifted a hand to your face, curling his index finger under your chin as you looked down at the wooden floor. A lump lodged itself into your throat as your anticipation grew. Gently, he tipped your face to look up at his. His eyes twinkled and the dimple nearly did you in, that knowing smile having you almost in pieces on the floor.

“You will love me one day Y/N,” he leaned down closer so you could feel his breath on your cheek. “Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but when you finally do, best of luck.” You were at a complete loss for words. His boldness terrified you and had you under a spell simultaneously. You cleared your throat to break through the tension in the air and clear both of your heads of whatever thoughts you were having. He removed his hand from your skin and you felt a longing to know what his touch felt like again. Stop this, you scolded yourself.

He stepped away from you, you felt like all of the air had been sucked out of your lungs. Anger and excitement coursed through your bloodstream. The triumphant grin on his face said it all, he was going to get his way. The question of all would be, would you let him?

Harry stopped in the door frame and turned to you for the last time that day.

“I’ll see you tomorrow Miss Y/L/N, I must cut our visit short for today. Just trust, I’ll be back.” his back was to you once more and you felt your eyebrows knit back together. His words weren’t threatening but rather an assurance on his part that he wasn’t going anywhere. You could be mysterious and off putting but he’d still come back time after time, and that frightened you. You walked over to the window and saw Elle, picking flowers in one of the fields beside the house. Her back was facing you, bent down picking your favorite wildflowers that always popped up in the pastures this time of year. She reached up to tuck a stray hair back into the ribbon holding it together, then wiped her brow. What I would give to know what she’s thinking, you thought. On the other hand, you didn’t even have to know what Harry was thinking at all. There was a strange comfort in that.

Suddenly, your mother appeared behind the chaise, watching you stare out of the window. You cleared your throat again to break up the awkward silence, hoping she wouldn’t notice Elle in your line of vision.

“Don’t mean to interrupt dear, did everything go alright with Harry?” She said, messing with the necklace she had chosen to wear today.

“Swimmingly,” You meant for it to come off as sarcasm but she wouldn’t take it as such.

“How lovely! Listen dear, I need you to come help the new caretaker and show her the upstairs rooms. Come on now,” she was already heading into the foyer, not even looking back to see if you followed.

“New caretaker?” You called to her, feeling as if your heart had sunken into the deepest places of you, sorrow was coming.

“Oh yes, I forgot to mention. Elle’s mother is very ill, she’ll be leaving us tonight after supper.”

“Oh,” The only monosyllabic utterance you could manage to force out at this news. As you heard your mother scurry away to another room, you sank down onto the floor. You wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground and never peek out, even for your favorite meal. Elle was leaving and Harry had no intention of ever doing the same, and you had no control over any of it.

(Please leave me some comments/feedback!! I would love to know what you guys think of Victorian era!Harry and yes, there will be more parts and they will be longer including flashbacks!! Hope you guys enjoyed x)

Now that I’m elbows deep in Good Omens fan content I’ve been letting my mind swim on my favorite AU concept; Power/Position swap, with no personality change.

For good Omens, I can’t imagine the story or anything interesting would change all that much if Aziraphale was the demon and Crowley was the angel. I think they’d be relatively the same. There’s just one small change to one scene and then everything plays out about the same:

After Aziraphale convinced Adam and Eve to try the apple, followed by taking one, or three, for himself, he’d planned on taking it easy. You know, lounging about in the god created paradise until the all mighty lit it ablaze or something.

Instead, after a while, he’d found himself standing on the Eastern wall, watching Adam and Eve leave the garden. Before he could bite into the apple he’d taken, he noticed beside him an Angel with long red hair, looking for something.

“Lost something?” Aziraphale’s question made the red headed angel jump. He turned and looked at the demon, taking a small step back.

“No. Just... misplaced...” He muttered, looking over the garden, having no interest in the sinners leaving though a hole he may or may not have created for them.

“Perhaps I can help. What’re you looking for?” Aziraphale offered, not taking his eyes of the humans.

Crowley simply scoffed at the offer, clearly not believing the demon, before saying, “My sword. It shouldn’t be hard to spot, it’s on fire.”

Aziraphale paused for a moment. He knew that sword. And he knew where it was. It was currently being used to fight off a lion. The demon cleared his throat, “Well, good news, angel, you didn’t lose it.”

“No? And how do you know that?” Crowley still hadn’t spared the demon a glance.

“I stole it.”

“You- You WHAT?? Well give it back!” Crowley demanded. The demon flinched

“I don’t have it! I.. I gave it away.”

“You WHAT??”

Aziraphale gestured dramatically after the two humans now running from the injured animal, “They CLEARLY need it more than you! I mean, look at them! Why did the all mighty have to make them so squishy, huh? For hell’s sake she’s expecting already and it’s going to be DARK soon!” The demon’s voice cracked as he flailed his arm in the couple’s direction, his face a panicked mess of anger and upset. He half looked like he may cry.

Crowley forced his eyes off the demon and looked out to the retreating mortals. A loud clap of thunder made the demon flinch in the corner of his eye. Crowley shrugged it off, lifting his wing to cover the demon beside him, who shuffled a bit closer as the rain began to fall.

“You know, you should really be thanking me. I’m rather sure generosity and kindness are suppose to be your job.” Aziraphale teased, giving the angel beside him a glance as he bit into the apple.

Crowley huffed, “Don’t push it, demon.”

#Good Omens #Emile's Arts #Swap AU #It's not long I just like putting stuff under the cut instead of risking someone thinking it's too long #Everything past this goes about the same #Aziraphale still loves food and books #Crowley is still hopelessly trying to be cool #They're both still complete morons #And Crowley still fell in love face first #Aziraphale is also still a giant softy who stole a sword for someone else #Followed by of course eating the apple himself #Possibly offering some to Crowley #Emile's Writing

Prompt #30: Close

Anabelle had been minding her own business, picking up a few necessities from the Seventh Sage, when she saw what she swore was a familiar sight across the walkway. With a hawkish frown, she made the turn down the path to the Bismarck. Best to make sure about these things, and maybe sometimes it was nice to see what all the city's fancy folk was eating anyroad. More than the piled plates, what caught her eye was a pair of white horns attached to a face she was certain she'd seen before. She squinted as she drew nearer, faces becoming distinct amidst the wafting aromas of fine fare. She ignored the rumbling it prompted in her stomach. Probably all too rich for her blood anyway, she was an honest woman.

Certainty clinched her gut like a vice when she reached the edge of the eatery's patio. It was that priestess from... Nag's Shaw! The one who showed up out of nowhere with some ragtag band of attendants and a story about eastern spirits getting grumpy from being up past their bedtime so she could make off with the comb! Her comb! The one proof of the Twelve looking after her she ever had in her life, whisked away by this foreign girl and her crew for a song and a week's worth of grub promised by an attendant. Assistant? Co-conspirator? The sturdy Xaela who showed up every day with the food was a handsome fella in his own way and the meals were admittedly divine, even if he got skittish whenever she turned on the charm. Some men wouldn't know a good thing if it slapped them in the face.

Still, Anabelle never could quite shake the feeling she'd gotten a raw deal - a comb that made her the fairest lady in all of Vylbrand just by brushing her hair, swapped out for a dozen steaks? She'd traded a fairy tale for lunch! And dinner. And a few breakfasts. Anyway, it didn't seem right and hells take the insistences that she'd run through its blessings and they'd all turn to curses soon. She hadn't seen a whit of it, and if not for her scaredy-cat sister... None of that was the point right now. She strode up to the little strumpet's table and folded her arms with a glare.

"Fancy meetin' you here, priest-tess," she spat.

The dining couple looked up in surprise, meal interrupted. Needed to return the comb to the east, did she? Needed to give her frail little eastern spirits their nap time? Pshaw, here she was chowing on a fancy fish steak with all the fixings, across the table from some Ul'dahn mort with a ridiculous haircut! Her fence, probably.

The woman smiled politely enough, even if her indistinguishably Eastern accent made it sound like she had a mouth half full of mush to her Roegadyn accuser. "Ek'skyus me?"

"Said you needed to nip back to Nag's Shaw or wherever! Said you was a priest-tess! Now here I find you gobblin' dainties in a fancy dress! When'd you learn to speak proper, anyhow?"

A gentle frown met her anger, the seated Raen's hazel eyes searching her own. After a long silence Anabelle was about to break herself, the smaller woman drew back with an offended glare, her voice rising in nasal indignation.

"I hav been learrning sins I was sik'steen! I am sorry if my d'ress is fancier than yourrs, but I would theink you not to becom upset about this. Nald does not feivor us all ekually."

With a dismissive snort, the Au Ra began examining her manicured nails. Why, that little- Horns or no, she was the spitting image of a spoiled merchant's wife! And that voice jangled on Anabelle's nerves, it was... different from the low, soothing melody of the priestess' voice, wasn't it? Well, voices were easy to fake. She was far from convinced.

"Anyway, you kin only afford all this 'cause you stole my comb! Where's it at, girl? You fob it off on this cove?"

The Easterner's eyebrow shot up sharply in disbelief, an unspoken question hanging in the air. It was her date who spoke first.

"Your... comb. Musta been one hell of a comb."

"It was a blessin' from Llymlaen!"

"Uh huh. You in the habit of stealin' blessings from th'Twelve, dove?"

The tanned, top-knotted man turned to his companion across the table with an infuriatingly condescending smirk. She nodded with a vapid smile and brayed a reply.

"Oh, yes! It is a thing we sneaky Easterners do all the tiym. I hav also stolen one of Thal's balls. Would you liyk to see it when we get home?"

"Left or right?"

"I was in a hurry and did not check!"

The man burst into obnoxious laughter urged on by the little thief's indulgent smile, fanning the flames of Anabelle's ire.

"Now hol' up a minute, I saw it was you, horns an' all!"

"Ah-" said the woman, one hand flying up to touch a horn self-consciously. "Darrling, som woman with horns has upset her. It must have been me. I hav horns, do I not? Or perrhaps all of us horrned people look the seim. I would not be upset wer I to fiynd you in bed with another woman. All Raen look so similar, how would you know?"

"Why, I'd know by your cute lil' nose, dove!" returned the man, leaning across the table with a wink... Completely ignoring Anabelle. She clenched her fists.

"I aren't neither blind nor dumb, an' I know what I saw! You said you was Matchy... Snow-oh or somethin', from the Valley of the Fallin' Rainbow! A priest-tess!"

The Raen stilled immediately, staring. Had she got her? A triumphant smile began to rise to the Roegadyn's face. She'd got her, dead to rights! Then the little minx burst into a fit of giggles. Maybe she hadn't got her. What in the hells was going on here?

"Th," she gasped beween snickers, "The p’riestess of the Valley of the Fallen Reinbow. Came hier. To you. To teik a comb." Her mocking little smile was subtle, yet carried the derisive weight of a hammer's blow. "Oh, oh, madam. You ar blessed. How inportant you must be!"

Anabelle reeled a half-step back. She was sure, though! They looked the damned same! Didn't they? Sure a lot of them souls from the east looked similar, but... Her train of thought derailed at a crisp clearing of the throat at her elbow. She turned to see a sternly frowning Roegadyn man in an apron.

"Beg your pardons madame, but we at the Bismarck take the dining experience of our patrons very seriously. We appreciate your enthusiasm, but unless you intend to dine, I'd like to request we not bother the Yellowjackets over this."

"Awright," she exploded. "I gotcha, right enough. Was about to choke on all the smarm, anyroad!"

The Limsan stormed off, fuming. Maybe she was wrong and maybe she wasn't, but she didn't deserve this kind of treatment either way! Leave it to Nag's Shaw spirits to make a mess of everything. At least she still had leftovers from her brief spate of popularity, so she wasn't entirely up the creek. Geraldine, her worrywart sister, had set in pressuring her to sell the velvet painting she'd commissioned while the comb was still working its magic. She'd been holding out, but maybe it was time to let it go, however fond of it she was.

The artist had taken a few... liberties, made her look like a right proper lady in ways she didn't mind at all. In fact, maybe it was best it found its way into other hands. They'd wonder who the lovely lass depicted was, dream of what a fine dame she must've been... And if it was a bit better’n than real, what of it? One day she'd be gone, the painting would still be knocking about, and it'd be as close to truth as it got. That's right, she was Anabelle, one of the few ladies who left the world a more glamorous place than she’d found it. Let that stick in the craw of that damned priestess, wherever she was.

The Glass Coffin (snippet #3)

Fandom(s): Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thor

Rating: T (for now)

Relationships: Loki/Jane Foster

Fic Summary: AU. A sort of gender-swapped fairy tale. Loki is the Sleeping Beauty and clever Jane Foster is the hero.

A/N: More nonsense. Sorry there's not more. In the meantime, enjoy adorable bebee Jane. Also, did Ian the Intern have a last name?

In the years that followed, Jane's interest in the man in the coffin did not fade. Her mind was on fire with questions. Question after question was hurtled at her uncle with all the demand of a child eager to learn. Does anyone know his name? When did he appear? Has anyone tried to read the symbols on the coffin? Has anyone tried to open it?

Despite Erik’s continued lectures on the non-existence of magic, Jane was convinced the man was only sleeping. She’d heard tales of people fished out of icy ponds, their families certain they were dead, only to revive once thawed. Jane had it on good authority that Ian Shepherd’s uncle was kicked in the head by their mare when he was a lad and did not wake for more than a month. Of course he was simple thereafter.

“But Jane,” Erik said reasonably, “he’s been there for at least a century. Would he not have aged in all that time?”

“Then perhaps he’s a vampire,” Jane countered saucily. “I read that the lands east of the Elbe are just crawling with them.” Her whiskey-colored eyes glowed with excitement.

“Peasant superstition,” Erik scoffed with a wave of his hand.

“Perhaps that’s true. But the eastern people are afraid of something, uncle. And there must be a reason why the prince is as he is. I just have to figure it out.” Jane clenched her little hands and squeezed her eyes shut, trying to think harder and harder, so hard she might have thought a hole in the floor until Erik placed a mug of warm milk in her hand, a kiss on her forehead, and shooed her off to bed.

But Jane Foster was nothing if not tenacious. A collector of lore she became, seeking out any morsel of information she could about the Ravenwood and of the mysterious dead man. She became a bit of a nuisance to the headmaster and the priest, peppering them with questions and theories about the coffin and the man it held. But to certain elderly persons of the village she was a welcome guest, for when Jane appeared on their doorsteps and sat at their feet, rapt, as they recounted their own stories and their parents’ stories and their grandparents’ stories, they were glad and felt useful, valued, no longer forgotten.

There were many tales told in the village about the man. Mr. Jacobs told her that once a trapper from Crickhowell got lost in the woods and came across the coffin by accident. In the light of the full moon, he could see that the lid of the coffin was ajar and upon closer inspection he found that the body inside was missing. He fled back to the village to spread the word. But when he returned with the others at daybreak, the dead man was back in his coffin, completely undisturbed.

The man in the coffin was not the only strange tale about the Ravenwood, oh no. Stories circulated about a devil who stalked through the trees under a full moon, horns sharp and red eyes glowing wickedly.

As soon as her lessons and chores were completed, Jane would fly to the woods, to the clearing where the prince waited. Every day she hoped to find he had awakened and every day she was disappointed.

He didn’t wake when pilgrims came from far away, hoping to be cured of whatever ailed them. And he did not wake when scholars came from the great university at the capital to study him. Their work was stimied due to their inability to examine the body themselves, of course. Like many before, they were unable to open the coffin. In the end, they concluded he wasn’t real; merely a beautiful manikin some master artist had created. Jane thought he would be terribly offended at that, but clearly not enough to open his eyes.

He didn’t wake during the spring or the summer, when Jane laid on her side on the lid of the coffin, staring down through the glass, fogging it up with her breath, tracing flowers and messages with her finger. She sang to him, told stories to entertain him, related her triumphs and failures, the persecutions she suffered at the hands of her duller peers who mocked her for her queer ideas and her love of books. She shared her deepest, darkest secrets, whispered them to the glass that separated them, but still he did not wake.

With the Distance Amplified Chapter One

And Now the Silence Screams

Chapter Summary: A few months after the battle with Zarkon and Katie’s disappearance, the paladins get a distress paladin from the Black Lion. They rescue a quartet of prisoners; one of them is not whom they expect.

Heavily inspired by @sabertoothwalrus‘s age swap au.

Do not tag as Sh*eth.

Both chapter title and fic title come from “Frequency” by Starset.

“I hope that was effective enough for them,” Matt said as he slumped in his chair in front of the dinner table. They had done another Voltron event, which had been packed. Unfortunately, this had also attracted the Galra. The Robeast that they had fought had, in addition to way too much armor, a rather annoying power that the other ones had had for the past couple of weeks. It was similar to the Kromar device, in that it was able to manipulate the quintessence of the paladins. That had made the battles even more tiring than they had been, what with Katie being gone and Lotor’s games of cat and mouse.

He stared at the food goo on his plate, trying not to fall asleep. He was tired, but he still had several hours of programming to do. More modification of algorithms, fine tuning to find his family and Keith. There were also the various projects he had been working on, although many of them were probably going to have to be pushed aside, other than the documentation of Lotor’s tactics. Matt was just glad that, so far, they hadn’t had to fight Lotor and a Robeast at the same time.

“We fought a giant monster in front of them, and didn’t get too beat up in the meantime!,” Lance said. “We always look great, but in that case we looked even -”

“-Meet me in the control room!” Shiro said rather suddenly, bolting from his chair.

“Wait, what? We just sat down,” Hunk said. “Is this an emergency? If not, can we please wait until after dinner?”

“Black’s sending me a signal,” Shiro called over the shoulder. “Something along the lines of ‘old paladin attack base danger’?” The other paladins stood up for their chairs and began to follow him. “That means that either Zarkon is doing something bad enough to get her attention, or Katie is…” He turned around and shrugged.

“Are you getting any coordinates? If so, I can start a wormhole,” Allura said.

“Um, one tic.” Shiro turned around as he bit his lip in concentration. “Okay, so Black isn’t sending me the coordinates, but she’s going to send them to Blue, who will send them to you.”

Once suited up, Hunk pulled up the scanners. “Okay, so we don’t have any new transmissions from the Blade, so either this is sudden or they haven’t been able to get any leaks.”

“I have the coordinates from Blue,” Allura said. “We’ll be wormholing to an area that is approximately half a xaral away. If it’s Zarkon, I don’t want to be led into a trap.”

It was a quick jump, only a few doboshes, which led them to a star with four gas giants orbiting it. The second one from the star, while it didn’t have any rings, did have several moons that looked to be only slightly smaller than the planet Mars. The smallest of those moons, upon closer look, had metal plating on one of its sides as if it had been built up to be a base.

“Shiro, is that moon our target?” Matt asked, barely sitting in his chair.

“So I, erm, we still don’t know what the nature of this is,” Shiro said as he stood up and faced the team. “Everyone, get to your lions, but be careful. And Matt, well, sort of. Part of me really gets the feeling that that’s no moon.” The elder Paladin groaned at the reference as he jogged to the entrance of the Red Lion’s hangar.

“Are you sure?” Allura said as she pulled her hair up. “According to its chemical makeup and overall structure, it seems like a natural satellite of the planet.”

“We are definitely going to make a detour to Earth after this and watch Star Wars,” Lance said.

“Hunk, Allura, scan the base for architecture and biosignatures,” Shiro said when they departed the Castle of the Lions. The Blue lion let out one of its sonic blasts, and the Green lion paused as its’ eyes seemed to grow more of a yellow-green.

“It seems fairly simple,” Allura said hurriedly. “It’s pretty much uniform, in fact. Just hallways and small rooms. Anything from Black?”

“Nothing new.”

“Katie? You there?” Lance asked as he opened a com to her helmet.

“Knowing the Galra, they probably wouldn’t leave her with her helmet,” Allura said.

“Aside from for torture purposes,” Matt said. He gripped the handles like they were kitchen knives, as if he could just reach out and stab the druids like they were slabs of meat.

“I’ve got twenty or so lifeforms; most of them are heading towards the eastern side,” Hunk said. “I think Green’s scanners are broken or something, though. They’re saying that there’s half a Galra, one and nine twentieths of humans, and a whole lot of Alteans.”

“Doesn’t matter,” Shiro said. “We still have to -”

“Kates, don’t!” a voice called out as the Paladins heard the sound of wind. All of this was highly distorted by static.

The Black lion’s incessant thoughts went silent.

A single ship streaked out from the base. It was small, and beat up looking, but it was clearly Galra.

Matt fired Red’s main laser just behind the ship as a warning shot.

“Voltron, do’ya read us?” a different voice said. “If so, could’ya stop shooting at us?”

“Guys, that’s Katie’s comm,” Lance said.

“How did you get my sister’s frequency?” Matt said. While he trained Red’s lasers on the ship, he didn’t fire.

“I’m sorry, Matt,” the first voice cut in. Their voice was somewhat familiar, and it had a slight rasp to it, as if they weren’t used to talking. “The Druids took her before we could get out. She gave us her helmet so we could contact you.”

Shiro licked his lips. It took a couple of tries before he could form words due to how familiar the first voice. “Do you know if there were any other prisoners left on the base?”

“They’ve beyond helping,” the second voice said. “They’ve practically Robeasts themselves. In the non-thinking way, not the power way.”

“We’re going to escort you to the Castle of the Lions,” Shiro said. “There we can get you healed. Um, how many of you are there?”

“Four,” the first voice said.

Matt opened a private comm. “Guys, I know it’s petty since they’re prisoners, but I don’t trust the first of the two that spoke. I don’t like how he knew my name.”

“Maybe Ka… maybe she said something about you?” Lance said.

“Hunk said there were Alteans on that ship,” Allura said. “We have to go after them!”

“Not to mention that they have my sister.”

“We’re too late,” Shiro said. “Black’s gone quiet; she did so when that guy screamed out her, well, maybe it’s a nickname?”

“Um, actually, guys? They’re gone,” Hunk cut in before Allura could go and attempt to rescue the multitude of Alteans.

“What do you mean, they’re gone?” Allura asked.

“I dunno, it’s like they disappeared or something? Maybe they teleported, like with a Teleduv! Either way, they’re not showing up on Green’s scanners.”

“Let’s get back to the castle and help the prisoners she freed,” Shiro said, ignoring the general feeling of dissatisfaction that everyone, including himself, felt.

When the ships landed in the main hangar, Coran was already there. “I brought a stretcher, in case any of them was unable to walk. Of course, I wouldn’t have minded them saying so, but I’ll cut them some slack.”

The first of the aliens to stumble out of the Galra pod reminded Hunk of the gray-skinned gladiator they had met back on Arus The second looked like they were the child of an Unilu and a Balmeran with some platypus thrown into the mix. The third had six eyes and was very tall, tall enough that Hunk worried that they might not fit in the healing pods. Ve helped the fourth of the prisoners walk.

The fourth prisoner was probably the half Galra that Green had picked up, with their batlike purple ears and their lilac clawed hands, one of which was pressed against their side. They had long, purple-black hair that seemed to make their already pale skin paler. Their eyes were downcast and haunted; one was entirely gold while the other had a white sclera, black pupil, and violet iris.

Shiro stepped out of his lion and found it hard to maintain a leaderly gait rather than run up and wrap his arms around them. “Keith?”
