The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Tuesday, April 26
Graham: We all friends here, fellas?
Forrest: Absolutely. Riley here is about to explain why he's leaving us so very quickly.
Riley: I don't explain. Because I don't have to. I'm the one in charge.
Forrest: Things change.
Riley: Do they?
Forrest: Hey! In case you failed to notice, we're in a world of hurt around here. Now's the time for us to band together. Not go flying off our separate ways.
Graham: Forrest has a point, Riley.
Forrest: We have a problem, we deal with that problem. You know the most important part of the equation now is that we keep said problem within the family.
Riley: Family? Is that what we are? (a beat) Step aside.

fic: tale as old as time (thor/sif)
Title: tale as old as time
Fandom: Thor/MCU
Pairing/Characters: Thor/Sif
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 7057
Summary: Beauty and the Beast AU; When her dearest friend is taken captive by the Beast of Asgard, only known by name and feared by those around, Sif ventures to the castle and ends up volunteering to take his place. Initially resigned to her fate, she finds out more about the Beast and sees that there is indeed more to this provincial life.
A/N: for the fairytaleinspired Exchange for cherylmarjorieblossom.
The west wing of the palace was off limits.
That was made clear almost immediately after the terms of her imprisonment were laid out- she may venture anywhere that she pleased, not even restricted to the cell that the one she had offered her life in exchange for had been limited to, but that part was forbidden.
It only made her more curious; through her anger at her situation, Sif couldn’t help but wonder about her surroundings and even her captor himself.
The Beast, whose menacing demeanor and terrifying appearance had spread fear into the heart of the Asgardians, especially the unfortunate few that had dared to seek him out, was well known.
He was indeed very large and hairy, fur the color of gold, stalking around on two legs and possessing a menacing growl, but Sif’s active imagination had somehow imagined him even worse. She did not fear him, despite his mightiest attempts to seem intimidating.
She had been hearing stories about him for years, since the moment that he had taken over the palace unexpectedly, slaughtering the royal family without mercy.
Sif had never ventured into the palace prior, the one opportunity she had gotten had been called off due the unexpected invasion by this … monster. A creature that had changed Asgard forever by his mere presence.
