#love is kind
Text
accepting that love isn’t purely romantic is so difficult. but it’s true. love is everything and everywhere. its your friends. its the soft embrace of a warm spring breeze. it’s picking up a new hobby. it’s the sea spray during summer. it’s the small corner store you went to as a child. it’s everything. the world is built on love.

I stopped looking for your texts,
I stopped searching for your name,
I stopped seeking you in public places,
& longing for you near.
I began finding myself again,
Rather than finding myself in men.
I began restoring my faith,
& the reconstruction of everything you broke.
I finally came to realize,
I was never broken,
Nor bruised.
I was whole when I met you,
And I will be whole without you.
The light I once saw in your eyes,
The overwhelmingly sensation of pure, real, love.
Was only a reflection..
Not just any reflection,
But my reflection.

Love is Kind - Chapter One(!)
I ended up writing more than one chapter on this one, so I decided to share the whole first chapter. I will tag below all the people who have interacted with the previous posts. Please let me know if you don’t want to be part of it and I can remove you. If you read this and decide you want updates, please let me know and I will add you to the tags in any future posts.
Love is Kind is book 2 of the Love Never Fails Series starring the Osborne siblings, To see the overview, please go here.
Jessalyn moved through the house. There were too many people. There were always too many people. The Osborne and Seymore-Wyndham families were together a lot, especially in the wake of the news that Audrey Seymour-Wyndham and Wulfric Osborne weren’t the siblings they always assumed they were as Audrey grew up.
She had reached the library and heard the laughter on the other side. Charlie, Athena, and Alec were inside. The three of them were often inseparable when everyone was together. And even more now that Athena and Charlie had finally married after the birth of Athena’s child with her late husband.
Jess opened up the door and smiled at the trio.
Charlie turned his head toward her. “Hello, Little Sister.”
“I still don’t understand how you can tell everyone apart.” Jess took a seat beside Athena and reached over to tickle her niece’s tiny foot.
“It’s the way you walk,” Charlie said. “Also, you always huff like you’re put upon when you walk into any room and find it occupied. Even though I am entirely certain you heard us in here.”
Jess stuck her tongue out at Charlie.
“Did she just stick her tongue out at me?” Charlie asked.
Alec chuckled. “She most certainly did.”
Charlie gave her a ruder gesture with his hand. The room erupted in laughter again.
Baby Charlotte started crying.
Athena made a face. “Time to get you upstairs to change your nappy.” She stood and walked across to Charlie. “Give your Papa love.”
“I’m coming with you.” Charlie stood and his hand easily found the small of Athena’s back.
Athena looked over her shoulder at Alec. “We’ll be back shortly.”
Jess waited until they were out of the room and then she closed the door. She turned. “I have an issue.”
Alec picked up a scientific journal from the table and stood. “I feel honored you have come to me. However, I am not sure how well I can help.” He made his way toward a shelf and put the book up before taking out another.
Best to get it all out. “I’m pregnant.”
He paused before he sat down. “That isn’t good.” He tapped the book against his hand. “How far along?”
“Just shy of two months.”
He nodded and continued to tap the book on his hand for a few seconds. Then he sat it down and guided her back to the sofa. “There are a few options–”
“I don’t want to terminate. I have heard so many horror stories about women dying. Or if they don’t, they can’t have children again when they want to.” She wrung her hands. “I do want to be a mother. But I am just eighteen.”
Alec nodded. “In that case, you still have some choices. The first is going off and having the baby without many people knowing. The second is to marry. Will this man want to marry you?”
Jess shook her head. “He has a plan for his life and a wife and child would not work with it. And I don’t see being with him long-term.”
“Is he cruel?”
“Goodness, no. He is very kind. But I don’t think he and I would work out.”
He nodded. “We need to find an eligible man you do find compatible. And we need to do it quickly.” He stood and started pacing. He muttered to himself and pinched the bridge of his nose.
“Would you do it?” Her voice was very small.
Alec shot to his feet. “Is that why you came in here?”
Chewing her lip, Jess nodded. “I know you still have plenty of time to find a wife, but everyone is wondering about your prospects. You spend a lot of time with your friends and not a lot of time wooing women.”
He heaved a sigh and sat down heavily beside her. “You’re right. It was the conclusion I was coming to, actually. I was running through all the men I know who are in the market for a wife and I cannot see any of them with you.” He poked her arm. “You’re far too picky.”
She smiled and took hold of his hand. “I promise if you decide to do this with me that I will be the best wife possible.”
He squeezed her hand and then got on his knees before her. “Listen, I don’t need you to make any promises other than to take care of yourself and let me help you to become who you want to be. In return, I promise to raise your child as my own and no one will ever need to know the difference.”
“What about our parents, though? What do we say to them? That’s the last bit I haven’t worked out.”
Just then the door opened and several people streamed in, Wulfric and Sarah at the front.
“Alec, what on earth?” Sarah asked, her hand to her throat.
Alec and Jess exchanged a look and then he stood and pulled her up with him. “Jess has agreed to marry me.”
At that, the group exploded with a mixture of joy and anger.
Horace pushed his way to the front. “I would have appreciated a conversation before this. We didn’t even know the pair of you were interested in each other.”
“It just sort of happened–” Alec began.
Wulfric cut in. “I believe we need to make this a private conversation.” He turned and motioned for everyone else to leave.
****
Alec pinched the bridge of his nose. This was ridiculous. But he did need to be married. Tristan had told him it was not good for the pair of them to be together all the time. But no women made Alecs heard beat the way Tristan did. And Jess needed a husband desperately in her situation. There was no other way out of this.
Once the door was shut again, Wuffric and Horace both glared at Alec.
Jess squeezed his hand. “Alec and I are getting married. We’d like to do it quickly.”
What was she thinking? “What Jess is trying to say–”
“How dare you?” Horace exploded.
Before Alec knew it, he and Horace were on the ground. The older man kept hitting him and he just tried to defend himself.
“Enough!” Audrey said, hauling her husband off Alec. “What on earth are you thinking, Horace?”
Horace looked to Jess. Alec saw it too. Not even two months along and her hand was stretched incriminatingly over her stomach. Damn.
He hurried and took her hand. Best to keep going with the lie. “Yes, Jess is, uh, well…”
“You’re having a baby?” Audrey said in wonder, looking at her daughter. “Oh, Jessie, I wish you had waited a little longer.” She walked over and took Jess’s face in her hands. “Yes, we can make sure everything is properly arranged, my dear.” Audrey kissed Jess’s cheek. She turned to Horace. “You apologize to Alec this instant.”
“I won’t.” Horace poked his finger hard into Alec’s chest. “How dare you violate my daughter?”
Sarah broke in, “Were you forced, Jess?”
“No,” Jess’s voice came out in a surprised squeak.
“Then the violation was mutual, Horace.” Sarah shook her head at her son. “I thought you would know better.” She sighed and then turned away, threading her arm through Audrey’s and pulling Jess out of the room. “Let the men work this out. We have some quick planning to do.”
Wulfric walked over to the table in the corner where the liquor sat. He poured out three glasses and passed them out. He sipped on his and looked at the book that sat on the arm of the sofa. “Alec, I trust you believe you are making the right choice.”
“Yes, Papa. What other choice do I have?” He’d have to hold into this lie for the rest of his life, best to follow through right now. For a fleeting moment, he thought of running away to Gretna Green with Jess to marry in secret. No chance at all for that now.
“You should have kept to yourself to begin with,” Horace snapped.
“Drink and calm yourself, Horace,” Wulfric advised. He paced and sipped his drink. “Now, Alec, as we have established you and Jessalyn have been stupid enough to not take more care in coupling–”
“Papa, please–”
“Then the wedding should take place in no more than a month and you need to go to one of my more remote estates until the childs is born and hope that mathematics isn’t the most common skill amongst the ton. Of course, yours won’t be the first or the last.”
Horace said something rude under his breath.
Wulfric continued, “I’ll send along a midwife to help monitor Jess through her time.”
Alec nodded.
“You’ll receive a higher allowance, but I trust you have started to make your own investments.”
“Yes, I have. And I’ll purchase a home before the wedding so we have somewhere to return after the baby is born.”
“No need.” Horace had finally recovered himself. “As part of Jess’s dowry, there is a home in Grosvenor Square. It currently has tenants, but I can inform them of their eviction in a year’s time.”
“Thank you.” Alec gave him a smile. “I never meant any harm, honestly. I really should have known better. But here we are. There’s no turning back now.”
As the older men continued to talk about the plans and giving Alec husbandly advice, Alec’s mind wandered to Tristan. Would he be happy for Alec? Or would this make him jealous? Of course, there was no reason he couldn’t make a visit during his and Jess’s seclusion, right?

Last night, as I was getting ready to take my dad back to his care home after our mostly-weekly family dinner night, J shot me a ‘we will have sex later’ wink over his head that was so devastating that I nearly dropped my infirm father down a flight of stairs.
When I say a devastating wink, I mean….I felt my dick twitch. I don’t have a dick.
This is what love is, fellas.

I just saw a tiktok of a baby who just discovered his own shadow and it made me realize that children literally are figuring out the world one step at a time.
That everything is new to them even shadows. Which is so wild for us as adults because whenever I talk about my shadow it's like a part of me, I don't see it as a separate entity from us. It's literally a part of us.
I don't think we've ever been without one. But for children it's entirely new to them and it's scary and it's all the more reason why we should be kind and gentle with them.
More reason why I understand and appreciate gentle parenting even more. And not just without children but even with ourselves.
Because like them, you've never done this before, this is our first time. It's all new to us we're bound to make mistakes and it's even more reasons for us to be kind with ourselves.

sometimes i think of the people i hate. but i remember they are also human. they have little ‘insignificant’ things they love. like how they take their coffee/tea. or how the sun shines so perfectly through their window during spring. they may keep small tiny items their friends give them. they have favourite animals. just like me. and even if they did hurt me at one point and i don’t forgive them; thinking of this makes me hate them a little less

on love
what is love next to being seen? next to being questioned?
you ask me why i overwater every plant i own- nodding your head as i stumble over my words to try to explain that i was never taught how to stop. and now it’s lighter, a piece of me from the depths of what felt like my incomprehensible soul is now yours to carry- and you do it with such ease, as though the crushing burden of the very pain that made my strong shoulders weary amounts to almost nothing; and i am liberated.
what is love next to being tenderly picked apart, piece by broken piece; gently, intentionally- what is love when there is being touched with caution? when there is being held delicately; when you deal with me intentionally, with purpose, deliberately. what is love if not a safe space? a place to seek refuge in an unrelenting world? forgiveness especially for you, because it’s you; flexibility within the rigidity.
speak to me softly; speak to me with heed, and i will do the same for you.

How can we give Ray love? I don’t think they have asks open right now
I've asked @charmsandtealeaves for you and here you go:
1. Go in undisguised to drop your love via microfics page ☺️
2. DM her
3. Message on discord!
Unfortunately with some abusing the private of the anonymous feature, it won't be opening for the time being ��️ She doesn't bite! Say hello!
I do understand anon is a shield for some folks with anxiety. I'm sorry I don't have a solution for you! Sucks for all 😭

And right when I thought I was healing and capable of moving on,
The thought of never having to hear your voice again,
left me back at square one.
One step forward, three steps backwards.
How can you be so nonchalant about us?
I was told to forget about you if I must.
But how can I forget us, the love, the trust?
We lost more than each other,
we lost 6 years of our lives,
a child,
and our future together.
Yet you parade yourself, chest puffed and unfazed,
as if we were nothing but bad weather.
The storm is taking over,
the rain is pouring,
the wind is ripping away what was once left of us, now into tethers.
You threw away the only person who not only wanted you,
but the absolute best for you.
As if I deserved it,
as if I was the one who withdrew.
Even when you could not love you,
I did.
I illuminated the way for you,
and yet you hid.
I still look back at it at times,
Back are the laughter,
the memories,
the life.
But those who destroy the people they claim to love,
The only ones who stood by,
defended,
and cared,
Must be held accountable for their crimes.
Mama,
I think I’m in love with a criminal.
Such a love, far from traditional.
It’s one that creeps up, when I’m all alone at night.
Tell me mama, how do I continue to fight?
If the man I once loved is gone,
lost,
non existent,
nothing left in sight.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away... For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face...
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.12-13.

love is patient, love is kind
by sunflower_vol91
“I think that I have some um…internalized stuff I need to work on,” Harry starts. “It’s not your fault at all, I promise. And I— I don’t have a problem with us or with you. I think there’s just been a voice in my head telling me that it’s wrong. That we’re wrong. My dad probably doesn’t help it, but I think it’s always been there to some degree. I’m not sure.”
Louis processes Harry’s words, swallowing the heavy lump in his throat. He nods in understanding and pulls Harry’s hands closer.
”So you’ve felt this way for awhile?”
”I think. When I started questioning my sexuality and who I was, part of me felt like I shouldn’t be thinking that way or— that I shouldn’t feel like that. But you helped. You’ve helped me a lot with like…coming to terms with myself and accepting myself but it’s still there. A little bit at least, and what my dad said the other day kind of brought those thoughts back. It scared me, I guess. I’m so—“
”Don’t say you’re sorry,” Louis says, stopping Harry from apologizing for such a thing.
Or: Harry may have a close-minded minister for a dad, but that doesn’t stop Louis from loving him.
