Song Of The Misty Mountains (Rhett Abbott x Reader)
Tumblr media
Summary: You and Rhett live for the nights in early spring when the family can be together
Warnings: Mentions of adoption, birth etc.
Tagging: @floydsmuse @attapullman @callmemana @withahappyrefrain @rhettabbotts @sebsxphia @bradleybeachbabe
"Good God I hate cleaning the kitchen," you muttered, scraping the last of the dinner scraps into the garbage can next to the sink.
"At least ya'll don't have to clean the bathroom," Cecelia chuckled. "I swear I have to call a NEST team to come and fumigate every time one or both of those idiots in the living room eats at the Bakshis' restaurant."
"Hah! Better than eating Dad's chili," Joy laughed as she collected the dishes.
You made a face and feigned a gagging noise. The last time you had Art Hawk's chili was at a summer cookoff at Amy and Rose's school during the summer fair and the upstairs bathroom had never been the same since, but damn was it good with a big hunk of cornbread.
You, Cecelia, Joy, Martha, Beth, Monica and the others cleared away and cleaned up the rest of the dishes from dinner, hoping to be able to finally relax as you all filled each other in on the goings on in each others lives.
"Literally cannot wait for summer," Martha Hawk laughed as she helped you scrub the dishes in the sink. "First year Rosie gets to dance in the powwows and my mom's coming down from Idaho."
"And to boot, you get the summer off," you told her.
Martha laughed, an excited squeak making its way in. She was more than excited to be joining you at the school as your teaching assistant in the lower grades and excited at the prospects of finally having summers off again. As soon as Amy's case had officially closed when she turned a year old, Martha had decided a change of field was more than needed.
"Alright, time for a game of fridge tetris," Beth laughed.
You and the girls laughed and chattered away with Amy and Rose popping in and out of the kitchen every couple of minutes. You couldn't believe that the two of them would be starting kindergarten in September. It had seemed like yesterday that you and Rhett had brought Amy home with Rosie arriving barely three days later. Four years had gone by a little too fast and at the beginning of July, the girls would both be turning five.
Once everything was done and settled, the dishes washed, dried and put away, into the living room you went where the men of the family had already gathered and had gotten the fire going in the fireplace. The logs crackled, hissed, spit and snapped as sparks and embers flew up the chimney but the living room was as warm and cozy as ever. The grass outside was coated in the thinnest layer of hoarfrost, a sign that March would soon give way to April and the promise of spring that would soon be coming.
Everyone chattered away, shooting the shit between each other while John disappeared and came back every so often with a drink of choice. "God I live for these nights," he said, taking his spot next to Royal. "Fire crackling away, wind blowing outside and Manhattan in one hand."
The front door creaked open and shut with Billy and Shania Tillerson kicking off their shoes near the rack and joining everybody in the living room. "S'f-f'f-fuckin cold out," Billy shuddered.
"Well here ya big knucklehead, take this!" Cecelia said, tossing the wooly throw blanket his way.
"Thanks Cece," Shania said as soon as she caught it and put it around her and Billy.
Everyone went about their business until Rose and Amy came barreling in, begging for Royal or someone to read them a story.
"Alright, alright, ya'll get on over here," Royal said, finally giving in to their request.
Rose and Amy took their places on the living room rug, the others listening eagerly as Amy handed Royal her copy of "The Hobbit", a story that Rhett had loved growing up, second only to "The Indian In The Cupboard" of course.
Royal began to read aloud, both the girls and everyone in the room listening intently. You and Rhett huddled close together as he read, mesmerized by how well Royal could do the character voices. You had all nearly lost track of the time when his mother's grandfather clock in the hallway rang in the hour of 8:30.
"Alright you two, upstairs," Royal told them. "C'mon, it's bedtime."
Amy and Rose hurried upstairs on his orders, rushing to their room and leaving the others downstairs.
Royal threw another log onto the fire, hissing as it split open and released its sharp scent throughout the room. He hummed as he placed another one in there, low and droning as John joined in along with Thomas, Mo and Art and the rest of them. It wasn't long before you heard those familiar words filling the room, words that spoke of far off mountains, wizards, dwarves and hidden treasure deep in lands unexplored.
"Far over the misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away, ere break of day, To find our long-forgotten gold.
The pines were roaring on the height, The winds were moaning in the night. The fire was red, it flaming spread; The trees like torches blazed with light."
Their voices were almost like that of the dwarves themselves, deep and droning in the night as they sang. You and the girls all joined in as the fire crackled away and the sky outside was tinted deep shades of red and pink. When it had all gone silenced, you and Rhett heard a pair of giggles coming from the stairs.
"Alright you two, bed! Now!" Rhett ordered.
The girls ran back upstairs, the two of you hoping that would be the only time you would have to say something.
"Think they'll be back down again?" you asked him.
"Only time will tell darlin," Rhett chuckled as he kissed you.

Conned by Kim Fielding - 4.25/5 stars
Odder Still by DN Bryn - 3/5 stars
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig - 4/5 stars
Ended up enjoying this one a lot more than I thought I would. Definitely one of those philosophical-books-masquerading-as-fantasy books, but it was well written and the message resonated with me.
A Draught of Ash and Wine by Kristin Jacques - 3.75/5 stars
Draakenwood by Jordan L Hawk - 5/5 stars
This may have been the first in the series that I handed a 5 star rating to. Not that the rest of the series isn't really good, but this one stood out to me as being really REALLY good.
Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr - 5/5 stars
Another one that I enjoyed WAY more than I thought I would. I normally don't go for books that do the whole characters-connected-through-time-by-the-same-story trope, but this one was very well done. The characters in the different time periods definitely played to things I love. The fact that it was unexpectedly queer was also such a nice surprise. This book is heavy going, and I wouldn't say it's exactly happy, but it's hopeful. A hyped book that was actually worth the hype.
Blyde and Pearce by Kim Fielding - 3.5/5 stars
Bring Me Home by Annabeth Albert - 3.75/5 stars
Jackdaw by KJ Charles - 5/5 stars
AHHHHHH omg omg. Oh this book. Ripped my heart out and stomped on it, then tenderly mended it. Ben and Jonah are one of the sweetest couples Charles has ever written. Maybe the sweetest? (considering there's a very dubcon-y sex scene at the beginning, this may seem like a strange thing to say, but really). I actually far and away preferred them to the main couple in the original Charm of Magpies trilogy. To be completely honest, I like all the Charm of Magpies World books better than the original trilogy, haha.
The Rest of the Story by Tal Bauer - 4.25/5 stars
Fool Hearts by Emmy Sanders - 3.75/5 stars
Shadows of the Lost by Maxym M Martineau - DNF at pg 60
Actually not a bad book at all, but it was too dependent on the author's previous series, which I didn't have any interest in reading.
The Sun and the Star by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro - DNF at pg 26
All the Right Notes by Dominic Lim - 5/5 stars
Lovely, funny book that had lots of music and cooking. It's told in a split time period structure which I thought worked really well.
Witch King by Martha Wells - 5/5 stars
I LOVED this book. I love Kai so so much. He's total blorbo material, so I'm honestly surprised this book isn't bigger on tumblr. The worldbuilding was immaculate, really interesting, and very refreshing in that it was very central Asia inspired. You don't see Fantasy Asian Steppe Cultures very much, so that was really cool. This is another one that is told with a split time period, and Wells did a really good job of tying the events of the past and the present chapters together thematically.
I really really really want a sequel.
And Then He Sang a Lullaby by Ani Kayode Somtochukwu - 4/5 stars
One of the reviews of this book said it had a very didactic ending, which I 100% agree with...but it was very well-written and worth a read. It takes place in Nigeria and is about two gay boys who eventually meet in college. It's not a happy book; don't be fooled by the blurb that makes it sound like a romance.
The Lost Future of Pepperharrow by Natasha Pulley - 5/5 stars (reread)
You guys all know how I feel about Natasha Pulley.
The Master of Samar by Melissa Scott - 3.5/5 stars
Unnatural by Joanna Chambers - 5/5 stars
Fence: Disarmed by Sarah Rees Brennan - 5/5 stars
This book was so cute. Aiden and Harvard both finally pull their heads out of their asses. One of the unexpected joys of these novels is the relationship between Seiji and his father. It's really sweet.
I would fund Sarah Rees Brennan to continue writing Fence novels.
The Archive Undying - 2/5 stars

MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE- 2011 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tumblr media
Martha (Elizabeth Olsen) leaves an abusive cult after many years there. She moves in with her sister Lucy (Sarah Paulson) and her husband who havent heard from her in years. We see through flashbacks the awful abuse that happened at the cult led by creepy and manipulative Patrick (John Hawkes).
The movie is about her struggling to live in the real world with so much unresolved trauma/ptsd. Elizabeth Olsen was fantastic. Very realistic and never seemed put on. Such a sad movie. You felt so bad for her and also for Lucy who just didnt know how to help her.
Martha Marcy May Marlene moves seamlessly between past and present, the way it cuts back and forth shows the way specific things in the past molded how she ended up. Like the awkward scene where she walks into the room while Lucys having sex and doesnt realise it.
Directed by Sean Durkin.

The Big Runaround
The Big Sleep (1946) by Howard Hawks I’m continuing November with another murder mystery – you can have a look at the list of some of the movies I wanna watch this month here. But it’s not just any classic, it’s a Bogart & Bacall classic which means hard-boiled detectives and feisty dames. Who gets killed? A guy named Geiger. He was supposedly involved in the blackmail of Colonel Sternwood…
