I agonized over which to pick because I just want to ask about all your fics in progress!! I narrowed it down to two and that's just going to have to be ok

the world is staged and the script is set (you cannot change the ending)

Jukeboxes and Maple Syrup

its very funny you pick those two because those like. two of the only three on that list that ISNT lord huron related lmao. those are both hatchetfield fics ive started in secret. regardless those are the main ones im working on right now SO

the world is staged and the script is set (you cannot change the ending) is a fic based on the ending of TGWDLM where like. you know how in the credits where Emma starts begging the audience for help? and like. you know how in TTO how the audience is also referred to by Bliklotep's title? soooo the fic is the ending but i throw him in the mix and ramp the already existing horror of "begging for help and being ignored a cheering crowd" by going "realizing said crowd has been treating your suffering and death as a source of amusement right before you die". only fun times in hatchetfield

"She stumbles to the edge of the stage. The stitches in her leg have come undone and there’s blood seeping through the bandage. That is real. Emma is real, and she needs to help right now."

Jukeboxes and Maple Syrup is a fic that takes place directly after the end of Yellow Jacket that focuses on Daniel and Sophia like. right after the ending. we dont really see them after the Otho fight and we still have no clue is Sophia is even ALIVE and also i miss them dearly. the fic mostly focuses on Daniel trying not to have a panic attack in Miss Retros because one friend is missing after almost dying and the other is in the hospital after also almost maybe dying and he doesn't really know what to do. Not a whole lot of plot it's mostly him trying to deal with that whole. mess. luckily he's got Miss Holloway and Duke to make things a bit easier (responsible adults? in MY hatchetfield? its honestly only these two but its better than nothing)

"He feels so stupid. Sophia is in the hospital and she might never wake up. Hannah is missing and could be kidnapped or dead or worse. And he’s just sitting here in a cozy diner with pancakes and orange juice, and Hannah’s Jacket but not Hannah and not Sophia."

#you're always welcome to ask again if you wanna see the other ones <- please god im desperate for attention #unfortunately. ive been infected by the alien blue shit (hatchetfield brain rot) sorry #slap my ass and call me paul matthews cause i dont even like musicals but. the silly horror comedy with a side of eldritch fuckery got me #and all the silly little characters got me too. hannah paul holloway duke ethan lex richie emma pete daniel sophia my beloveds #idk how but they managed to make an exact copy of me in 2017. hate his weeb ass (deeply agonized yet deeply affectionate)#i have lots of feelings on hatchetfield but i dont post about it much. or like at all lol #im actually almost done with the world is staged. like really close. just need to finish up the beginning and then clean it up #dani speaks #asks #ask #also fucking with the nmt2 timeline by making miss retros still a thing in yellow jacket despite it taking place after killer track #i want daniel and the kids to have some actual good adults in their life. my timeline now.#(god bless ethan is trying so hard but he is. not good at being responsible.)#i wanted to write about Sophia too but she's like. in a coma #if i ever get a burst of inspiration then i might write a second part following her waking up and being ok and getting panacakes with danie #(and dealing with hannah just. having left hatchetfield overnight without a word)#might be fun who knows

the possible future of the hatchetfield series: hatchetfield halloween party livestream full rundown

again apologies if someone has already done something like this, but I’m procrastinating doing my coursework and just want to talk about hatchetfield I want everyone to be aware of this exciting stuff that was announced in the stream so here you go:

the next starkid musical to be released will not be in the hatchetfield universe.

the guy who didn’t like musicals will soon be ready to license.

nightmare time 3 was originally planned to be released in the same year as nightmare time 2 and will wrap up the overarching nightmare time stories (which seem to be miss holloway and the foster sisters respectively).

if they did a fourth hatchetfield musical, it would be about miss holloway and her backstory. it is already written. I am very very extremely normal about this fact 😃

there is a possibility of a hatchetfield movie, and workin’ boys was sort of a test for this concept. it would be a slasher murder mystery centering around the hatchetfield community players (zoey chambers and the cast of workin’ girls, possibly also with ruth, hidgens, alice and any other theatre-oriented characters but that part’s just my speculation). the transcription of the teaser description can be found below the nmt descriptions.

ok so here are the transcriptions of the nmt3 episode descriptions:

Story #1: Bottle Imps

Bill Woodward has been chosen to test CCRP’s latest and greatest product; Bottle Imps. These reality-bending buddies will bring their owner the one thing they desire most. When his new imp, Lovely, leads him to his soulmate, Bill decides to use his magical companion to play matchmaker. But to help Charlotte find the man of her dreams, Bill will have to bend the Imp’s rules. Rules he’s been warned, must never be broken…

Story #2: Frankenruth

Desperate to see a naked body, Ruth Fleming and Richie Lipschitz volunteer at the morgue of St. Damien’s Hospital. Their terrible plan becomes exponentially more terrible, when they become unwitting subjects in the experiments of the body-snatching madman, Doctor Laszlo, who claims to have conquered death itself. If Hatchetfield thought Ruth was bad before, then they will cower before the unspeakable horror of… Frankenruth!

Story #3: Becky Barnes Climbed a Tree

Becky Barnes is on top of the world! Not in a literal sense, of course. She’s deathly afraid of heights. After years of struggle, Becky’s life is finally everything she dreamed it would be. She’s engaged to her high school sweetheart, Tom Houston, and the two have a surprise baby on the way! But, as the couple prepare for the arrival of baby Marie, a shadow from Becky’s past returns to haunt them.

Story #4: Devil’s Night

Tim Houston has a crush. Unfortunately, it’s on his older, mature and totally cool babysitter, Grace Chasity, who he fears will never see him as anything but a snot-nosed little kid. But when a devilish maniac with murderous designs on Grace attacks Hatchetfield the night before Halloween, Tim must protect his beloved, or join the killer’s growing body count. It’s another slashing adventure on the night HE came home… Devil’s Night.

Story #5: (long special episode) Miss Holloween

It’s Halloween in Hatchetfield once again, and Miss Holloway is celebrating the same way she’s done for decades, staving off the horrors that go bump in the night. But when Duke gives her an invitation to his wedding, the dejected Miss Holloway begins to chafe under the terms of a contract forged many years ago. She strikes a new bargain, but unfortunately her creditors are known for their tricks, not treats. Just as Miss Holloway gives up her powers in exchange for a mortal life, a monstrous new threat rears its ugly head. As All Hallows Eve descends, and all Hell breaks loose, Miss Holloway must save the town or die trying… for real this time.

Story #6: (long special episode / season finale) Orb Weaver

Lex Foster had a life once. A home. A boyfriend. Now there is only the road, and her sister, and the fear of the men who are hunting them. As Hannah Foster watched Lex sink deeper into despair, she is certain of only three things: Webby is gone. She cannot help them. They are alone. Elsewhere, an old soldier awakens from a catatonic state. Returned from some unimaginable Hell with a mission. He knows that somewhere, two magical girls require immediate evac… then maybe some coffee.

very important: if you want nightmare time 3, WATCH NIGHTMARE TIME 2. BUY A TICKET TO THE LIVESTREAM. SHOW THAT THERE IS LOVE AND DEMAND AND IT’S WORTH THEIR TIME AND MONEY I AM BEGGING YOU

hatchetfield movie: Cast Party Massacre

The Hatchetfield Community Players. You will never find a cattier troupe of two-faced thespians. But when the blood begins to flow at their latest show’s cast party, they must consider: is there a secret murderer in their midst? And more importantly, who amongst them is a good enough actor to pull off such a performance? Can they set aside their petty squabbles and tangled romances, or is it curtains for this ensemble? Who will survive… the Cast Party Massacre!

Going back and rewatching what I missed from the npmd livestream from the end of the Jane Perkins Theory to a bit before the beginning of the Abstinence Camp rewatch

I love how Matt keeps having to finish what Nick is saying bc he keeps lagging and freezing

"who's good at math?" *Joey immediately starts talking*

Jon being in show choir makes sense

Ofc Jon started a barbershop quartet

All these high school choir and theatre stories are incredible

"and I swore that I would never be involved in theater again" "and how's that going?" djdjdb

"I left to do Sussical the Musical, we made our decisions"

Hey, I like statistics! Well so far at least

Curt swam competitively and was ranked 18th nationally?

HE SWAM AGAINST MICHAEL PHELPS?

Mariah 🤝 Curt

Troy Bolton

"Bill vs Ted" "this is easy!"

Also yeah Ted would absolutely die first he's a whimp

Yes Peter and the Obnoxious Teen are still separate characters!

Wait the Obnoxious Teen characters was also going to be Richie but now they're also separate characters!???!

Doggy Power!

The 8bit tunes!! (once again asking SK to please release these as an album)

Yeah Paul absolutely would apologise the whole time

Bs I think Emma totally would win against Grace

No way Duke would even hurt a kid

Becky 10000% wins over Linda

"Paul have you been paying attention? We're having thr most important conversation of the decade!"

NOOO also I love Curt is like "no he's lacking context but f i n e"

Oohh wow Barry vs Henry is a good one

Peter Spankoffski my beloved

The idea o's Spitfire just incinerating Linda is wonderful

I REALLY LOVE Becky Barnes Climbed A Tree it's such a good feeling fun song and it makes me wanna go outside and climb a tree and I would absolutely listen to it every day and I love that they put in the little bit of Becky being Irish since that where the joke started from

Spefically 43 mins and 37 secs

Xander was supposed to have psychic abilities!?

"I might be bias though" "I'm definitely bias"

"okay Xander wins" "NO- I- NO!"

"okay so Grace has the power of God"

Absolutely love James' ideas of faking Spitfire's and Xander's deaths

"she's 18" "oh well then I retract everything I just said she's dead"

Xander sweep!

Daddy Bracket

Wilbur vs MacNamara off the bat? Omg

Woo filmed version of the Jangle Ball tour!!

He's a sorcerer?

NO NOT LEX VS HANNAH

"let's not do this :("

Lex has worked all her life to protect Hannah and make sure she doesn't get hurt so Lex would 1000% just lie down and die instead of killing Hannah

"it's like a Romeo and Juliet situation" mmm not quite Angela

EMDRIOD VS CAR!JANE AHAHAJSBDKD

"Can the Android hold a gun?" "yeah the android can hold a gun" "okay then this split, idk" ndjddbdjdb

"does android Emma.. Like, what's the gun situation?" NDKDBDDN

Angela and Mariah are really mean to be BFFs

Android Jane!

"this one breaks your heart?"

Also would Lumberaxe even kill Holloway bc he only kills ppl who aren't abstinent and Holloway isn't dumb enough to go do the dirty in the middle of the woods so would Lumberaxe be able to tell if she's been abstinent or not?

"I wanna see Webby and Miss Holloway fight, that'll be interesting" "I wanna see them fall in love!" in with you Mariah

The immediate "Holloway wins"

So many of these are good vs evil

"remember the child murder?"

They had Nemo stand in for wiggly durning a rehearsal of Feast or Famine bdjdjd

Full blown fluff machine!

My god I love Valentine

Jane's cat knocking over the camera bfjdbss

"that's a weird looking porcelain cat" "where'd you get that porcelain cat Matt?"

Anyway this is where I got caught up with last night so that's the end of this post

HEHEHE MY BELOVED IM STILL CRYING

Okay so:

A) realistic headcanon: Holloway was a big popstar back in the day, world famous, the whole shebang, and everyone absolutely adored her. Everyone, truly was, in love with her.

B) Not-realistic but hilarious headcanon: At one point or another, Holloway adopted an insane cat because Duke asked her to take him in. The cat didn't get along with Holly, and Duke felt too guilty to take him to a shelter so Holloway took him and now they have a healthy respect and fear of each other.

C) Heartbreaking and sad <3: Run Away With Me wasn't one of her old songs. Run Away With Me was written on a napkin at Miss Retro’s during a quiet time after she'd seen Duke, and sometimes she sings it to herself and imagines that he's there, listening, so at least in her mind, he'll know how she feels.

D) I reject Canon it means nothing to me: When Holloway kissed Duke, she planted a seed in his mind. Somehow, she transferred a little magic when their lips touched so that when the magic is triggered, he can remember her and break the curse of her immortality. I know this isn't canon but fuck you canon means absolutely nothing to me.

K IT'S TIME FOR DADDY/KILLER TRACK THOUGHTS BABES

I can see why Jaime was so proud of the Young at Heart video, it was damn good! Also the story from the talkback about how she had to MANUALLY EDIT OUT HER NIPPLES IN THE BATHTUB SCENE had me LOSING IT

Right so Frank? In my top 10 favorite Hatchetfield characters now. God, he's like a genuinely alright dude in this?? Maybe the Wiggly Fever had corrupted him more than we thought in Black Friday, because he almost feels like a different character here!

EARLY BIRD MISS HOLLOWAY APPEARANCE, Y'ALL I ALMOST SCREAMED

All the uses of the word "daddy" was honestly more funny than unsettling bc of everyone's midwestern-ass accents. they rly said "dayyyy-ddy :)"

Corey was just,,, fuck, he was so good in this episode. In other news, the sky is blue, but for real man. He took this character that I only really cared about for his banger of a solo in Black Friday, and he said "you will LOVE and FEEL SYMPATHY for this man".

MAN IN A HURRY NAME REVEAL, FUCK YEAH. Barry Swift, good name, it fits him. Also rip :(

30 second Becky cameo!

Right, so Sheila preparing to summon the Lords in Black? My jaw was DROPPED, and I was leaning in so close to my screen that my neck kinda hurts now. The vibes of that scene were indescribable, and I don't think a feeling like that can ever be replicated tbh.

God, what a neat ending tho? Doesn't top Honey Queen for me, that one's still number one, but damn it was good.

Killer Track rly said "look at all these fucking CHARACTERS" within like the first 3 minutes, and indeed I am LOOKING. Thrash, Courtney, Scud, Rose, Kale? Love them all.

But yeah Rose is such a neat protag, love her look, love Bryce's performance. And Kale is one heck of an antagonist, like dang, way to make me feel bad for the villain tho?

DUKE MY BELOVED

MISS HOLLOWAY MY BELOVED

ALL OF THE BELOVEDS

God, the Black Book prop tho??? What a badass addition to the episode, the DETAIL in those pages!!

The Killer Track is,,, certainly a song, that's for sure. I dunno how else to describe it, but dang dude, it was definitely a song! Metal's not my thing, but fuck, Jeff went off there. And seeing cool collected badass Miss Holloway just fucking crumble over it? Terrifying! Holy shit!!

God they really had me with that fakeout death! I admittedly haven't actually cried to a Hatchetfield story yet, but watching Duke silently mourn Holloway got me dang close.

Also don't give ur cat milk, Duke, it's bad for their digestive system :/

BROTHERS LANG YOU ABSOLUTE TEASES, WITH THAT BACKSTORY STUFF. God, everything about that made me so much more intrigued about Miss Holloway.

The whole scene in the Honey Festival before the climax? Golden. The reveal that Hailey had intentionally sabotaged Zoey in Honey Queen? Alice and Deb's cameo?? Seeing how Sheila and Ted met (btw, rest in fucking die Ted, oof)??? Wonderful.

The reveal that the track itself was alive and controlling Kale, FUCK, that was good.

RUN AWAY WITH ME BEST SONG OF THE EPISODE, FUCK IT UP KIM

Rip Kale, ur death was fucking metal 😔✌

JESUS, Duke and Holloway out on the paddleboat, my HEART was not prepared. Duke's despair, the kiss, "That's right, he was watching the fireworks"? AUGH 😭

and OOF those bittersweet fuzzies at them meeting again in the ending, don't look at me i'm incoherent-

Pop punk Nightmare Time theme remix tho? Kind of a banger! Also I'm 100% convinced that "Paul is Dead Records" is just sk fucking with us.

What a good fucking episode, jesus christ. It's up there with Honey Queen, but I can't pick a favorite story, they were both phenomenal. I'm getting more and more stoked for the finale, y'all!

The Road to Gretna Green Part 1 - Decisions

A Choices Desire and Decorum AU fan fic

All rights belong to Pixelberry

Pairing: Ernest Sinclair X MC (Rose)

Rating M Word count: around 3100

Warning: some bullying and abuse, a little language

Tags: @blackcatkita @hopefulmoonobject @speedyoperarascalparty @darley1101

This is set immediately after the Dowager Countess announces Rose’s engagement to Duke Richards.

Rose stumbled through the next half hour fighting to keep from fainting feeling like she was suffocating watching her life spin away from her. Faces, voices, music, a dog barking washed over her meaningless, deaf and blind to her despair as she stood next to the man she despised as his announced betrothed. She saw her despair mirrored across the room on her beloved’s face. Her eyes locked in panic with his for a second before he turned and was gone from her view. She tried to move when he withdrew but the Duke’s grip on her elbow bone tightened enough to bruise keeping her at his side. Eventually her Lady Grandmother came to her side telling her it was time for them to leave. She watched her smile and simper at Duke Richards thanking him for the glorious evening, assuring him how much joy the evening had given them both. There was a strange silence that finally penetrated Rose’s haze and she realized that her grandmother was looking at her expectantly. She looked down at the small, stranger who was her grandmother. Then turned her gaze down to her arm where the Duke still held the bone before looking in his eyes. She found her voice and it came out like a line from a perfect actress on the stage, divorced from her true emotions entirely, level, soft, polite, “Thank you for your hospitality, Your Grace.” She dropped her eyes from his as he finally let go of her elbow taking her gloved hand and bringing it to his thin lips.

His voice iced across her nerves as he smiled at her. “Until tomorrow, Lady Rose. We must take a turn in the park. I shall see you at three in the afternoon.”

She gave the briefest bob of a curtsey “Until next we meet.” Withdrawing her hand and turning to offer her arm to her Lady Grandmother to escort her out. Her eyes searched the rooms as they passed looking for Mr. Sinclaire to no avail; he was gone and her heart with him she was sure. Odd, she thought, how one could so completely detach from pain or any feeling really. She climbed into the carriage after her grandmother and felt the jostle as they started moving.

“…. Rose.” Her name brought her eyes to her grandmother’s and she realized that she must have missed responding. “Pardon, Lady Grandmother. My thoughts were elsewhere.” Her grandmother’s dark eyes narrowed. “It is a fine match whether you see it now or not. You will be a Duchess and untouchable. Edgewater will be secure. Countess Henrietta will never see Mr. Marlcaster proclaimed Earl. Your sons will inherit not only Edgewater but also Karlington. Think Rose!”

Rose straightened her already perfect posture and lifted her chin holding her grandmother’s gaze. “You have done, what you have done. I’m sure all in good faith. I am well aware, well aware of Duke Richards… qualities. For months you have expounded on the virtues of this match. And he has missed no moment to recommend himself. And I…”she shakes her head, “seeking your favor, trying to be dutiful and polite have sought to please you and attempted to give fair assessment to his advances.

Only now do I see how my politeness has allowed his deceit. I have no illusion about his passion for me at this time. His unwelcomed advances at the opera, fending off his roaming hands, enduring his vulgar whispers, my virtue in the tenuous protection of the public forum. And then fleeing him on foot when he arranged for us to be private in his carriage for the journey home because I had no doubt he would have taken me against my will given such opportunity, left me no illusion that his affection, any lasting affection is more to gaining Edgewater through me than any respect for my person.

Shall I show you the bruises he has left on my arm from this evening? In public? His tender mercies are sadly lacking and I’ve found no gentleman there for all my seeking.” There was a pause in the darkness of the carriage before her grandmother spoke gently, “Child.. I know you are innocent and a man’s ignited passions would be frightening for you..”

Rose held up her hand cutting her grandmother off. “No. Do not excuse him to me. I beg you. Leave me with the illusion that you at least care for me and what you did was done in ignorance of his true nature.” A gentle jolt of the carriage as it halted before the townhouse forestalled any further discourse on the matter. Rose watched as her grandmother took the footman’s hand descending before her and allowed him to escort her to the door before she followed. Briar was in the entry hallway and greeted her with an uncharacteristically serious look. She raised her brow at Briar, “Briar, I’m quite fatigued. I would like to take a little tea in my room before I retire.” Rose turned to her grandmother and gave her a small curtsey. “Good night Lady Grandmother.” Her grandmother reached out gently touching her cheek. “I do care. And I am very proud of you dear.” Rose studied her eyes and then carefully removed her opera length gloves so that her bruised hand and elbow was exposed. She saw her grandmother’s eyes go wide and heard her sharp inhale before she turned to go to her room. She sat at her dresser a moment looking at her reflection in the glass before carefully taking the Edgewater tiara off and setting it aside. She murmured quietly to herself, “I will never give him Edgewater, never.” With that resolve she went to her writing desk and pulled a sheet of fine paper and her quill out.

Dear Mister Konevi, I am certain that fortune smiled brightly on me this eve when I employed you as my solicitor. Though I had no notion at the time how essential and immediate my need for your service would be. This evening as you witnessed, my Lady Grandmother the dowager countess of Edgewater announced my engagement to his grace Duke Richards. This was done without my consent or advisement. I am aware that having five months until my 21’st birthday and my Lady Grandmother being my only living relative she was acting within her rights and in what she believed was my best interests being well aware of the terms of my dear departed father’s will. Her action without consultation has placed me in a most untenable position. You see prior to her announcement I was already engaged to Mister Sinclaire of Ledford Park. Had I been given quarter to speak with her prior to her premature announcement much distress could have been avoided. Briar’s soft knock at her door interrupted her letter as she bid her enter. “Oh milady! Mister Woods gave me this for you.” Briar set the tea tray down and hands her a folded note with no seal. “I’m so, so sorry for your plight. The Countess was screeching at Mr. Marlcaster about the necessity of him securing Miss Holloway now that you are engaged to Duke Richards. Sweet Heavens what a mess. Poor Edmund. And you bound to that hideous man.” Briar gasped as she spotted the bruise on Rose’s arm. “Oh your poor arm! Let me get some arnica for it!”

Rose unfolded the note as Briar nervously prattled on. The script was bold and masculine,

Beloved, I write in extreme haste. If your desire is aligned with mine I beseech you join me on my journey to the north. I do not ask this lightly I will not deceive you. You risk Edgewater if you join me. You will always have my regard and deepest affection whatever your decision. But you must know that you are the only jewel my heart desires. I will await you in your stables til the sunrise. Rose refolded the note and closed her eyes taking a deep breath then slowly smiled. “Briar, I must change.” Briar looked up from where she was preparing a wrap for Rose’s bruised arm. “Oh! Of course! Let me help you!” With practiced efficiency she helped her out of the beautiful gown and laid it aside. “Shall I wrap it to return to Mr. Sinclaire?” she asked as she turned back to help Rose with her stays only to see that Rose had gone to her closet and was pulling a pale blue day dress out. “Milady?” Rose heard the confusion in her friend’s voice and turned to look at her. “Oh Briar. Prior to the calamity of Lady Grandmother’s matchmaking this evening Mister Sinclaire made me an offer and I accepted. The note was from him. He waits for me. And I must go. And no one must know where we are other than Mister Konevi. I engaged him as my solicitor this evening before I knew what would transpire. I must finish my letter to him. And then I will need to get to the stables without being seen.”

Briar let out a soft squeal and wrapped her arms around Rose hugging her tightly. “I’m so happy for you! Oh Lady Rose! Your father would be so pleased. I know he thought very well of Mister Sinclaire.” Rose slipped her blue gown on and went to finish her letter to Mister Konevi as Briar poured her tea. …I have just received a note from my betrothed Mister Sinclaire inviting me to join him on a journey to the North. It is my intent to accompany him and honor my promise to him.

I learned tonight that Bishop Monroe under pressure from my grandfather annulled the marriage he performed uniting my parents before I was born. This evening I overheard Countess Henrietta attempting to persuade Bishop Monroe to deny my father’s will in return for a donation to the parsonage. Had I not confronted him I have no confidence that he would have upheld my father’s will.

Under these trying circumstances I do not know what of my interests in Edgewater will be salvageable but I put my faith in you to represent me to the best possible of outcomes.

In good faith,

Lady Rose of Edgewater

She signed it and sealed it before handing it to Briar and taking the tea. “I need you to make sure this gets to Mr. Konevi and none other.” She finished her tea in two large swallows before girding her skirts and changing to half boots. She hugged Briar then. “I shall miss you. I do not know when we will see each other again. It is my hope that my Lady Grandmother will keep you safe. But if you cannot remain with her please go to Ledford Park. I am certain you will be welcomed there until we return. And now sweet friend, for the second time this evening I fear I must ask you to help lower me out of this window.” Rose grinned and wiped the tears from Briar’s cheeks before taking up her bed sheets to assist her descent.

The grounds of the townhouse were eerily quiet but the moon was high and bright as she silently made her way toward the stable yard; but as she approached the door a cloaked figure stepped from the shadows and held out a hand. She took his hand and he drew her to him holding her a long moment, surrounding her in his warmth and comforting scent before leaning to kiss her softly. He said not a word but took her hand leading her down the street and around a corner to a large elegantly appointed travelling coach. He opened the door and handed her in allowing her to settle before following her into the dark interior. He knocked twice on the forward wall after another moment and she felt them start to move.

“Ernest?” her voice was a whisper in the darkness.

“Yes, my Beloved.” His voice came to her soothing and deep.

“It’s so dark.”

“The windows are covered. The moonlight is good this night but we must go very slowly until dawn. I have brought several torch bearers to light our way for this evening. We will change horses at dawn and have a very long day in the coach. We will be pursued and it is vital that we get as much distance from here before they realize that we are gone.”

“Ernest, could, could you sit by me, please?”

She felt him settle carefully beside her gently touching her to find the space to sit so he didn’t sit on her. “Rose, if you wish to rest you are welcome to lean on me.”

He felt her feather light touch on his arm as she sought his hand in the dark and intertwined her fingers with his. “When I saw you leave I was so afraid….”

“Here.” He brought her hand to his mouth for a kiss before letting it go and shifting. She realized that he was removing his over coat before he sat back and put his arm around her shoulders. “I am sorry that I had to leave like that. But I wanted to afford you this option and to do that I knew I needed to make some arrangements. Please believe me when I tell you it pained me to leave without being able to tell you what I was about.”

“I tried to tell my Lady Grandmother about our engagement but she gave me no chance.”

He pulled her gently against his side and took her near hand with his free hand. “Ah Love, I know this is not what we envisioned when we spoke in the garden. And I vow I will try to find a way back to those dreams for us. You are so brave, Rose. Thank you for trusting me. I would that I could have met your mother. She must have been a remarkable woman to have raised such a jewel.”

“I know she would have liked you.” She yawned. And he felt her shift a bit.

His voice was very serious. “My Love I do not want to frighten you and I need you to listen and be very honest with me. “He sighed and brought her hand to his lips again before continuing. “I do not know how knowledgeable you are about the intimacies of marriage. I know the edict of society is for ladies of rank to be sheltered. My first… Nay, I will not bring any of that past here. What I know is that we are going to be in close quarters, in carriages, and rooms together for more than a fortnight before we return and have proper attendants. It is certain that privacies will be breeched. I do not want to offend or frighten you my darling.”

Her voice was soft but he could hear her smile in it. “You do not frighten me Ernest. Mother tried to raise me as sheltered as she could at least from any intimacies of men and women. So I know that I am very ignorant of many things. But I am most willing to learn. Especially all those things that would please you that you might teach me. And it is hard for me to imagine something more joyous than a fortnight in your private company. Unless perhaps it is the rest of my life in your company.” She giggled in the dark before squeezing his hand. “I must confess that when I have dreamed of a time, alone, in the dark with you there was always rather more kissing than conversation involved.”

She heard him suck in his breath and clear his throat and suspected that she might have made him blush. He shifted turning toward her as he let go of her hand and brought his hand to her cheek, exploring her cheekbone with his thumb before drawing his forefinger along her jaw. His thumb traced over her lips a moment before he brought his mouth to hers. “Rose” he breathed her name into her mouth then his tongue traced her lips. He pulled back slightly, kissed her nose and rested his forehead against hers. “I promise you when we are wed I will kiss you to your hearts content. And do not mistake my hesitation. I want you in every way, quite desperately actually. But we will be man and wife before I claim your innocence. Before then I ask your patience. Let us learn each other this week. Ask me those questions society forbids and I will answer.”

“I don’t understand. You say that you want me. And I am willing Ernest. I’m not afraid. Why should you not kiss me when we both desire it?”

He’s silent for a moment then chuckles. “Call it the frailty of man. Have you ever stood at an assembly so long that you started to ache?”

She nodded, “Yes.”

“So it is with,” he paused trying to think of a non-vulgar way to describe his cock, “that which makes me a man. It is like a little soldier and he stands tall and proud with his desire for you. But after too long standing with no relief he begins to ache. I ache. I cannot hold you, and kiss you endlessly without enduring his discomfort.”

Her voice was barely a whisper as she considered his revelation. “Does, does he stand even now?”

He thought it was a good thing that it was so dark in the coach or she would see the heat in his cheeks as this conversation further aroused his ‘little soldier’. “Oh aye, Love.”

“Oh… I did not mean to hurt you. I would never cause you pain” He heard the distress in her voice and brought her mouth back to his kissing her with passion that had him moan softly into her mouth with his need. She pulled away. “I don’t want you to hurt.”

He sighed. “I explain poorly Love. It is an ache that I welcome.”

“Is there no relief?” Her sincerity warmed his heart but was no aid at all for his condition.

“None but the marriage bed would the church approve.”

“Humph. After this evening I am thinking perhaps the churches ‘approval’ has more to do with lining the churches pockets than anything godly.” She huffed.

He chuckled, “Rose, my darling, you may be right but it is something you must not speak beyond me.”

“I know. My point is I do not care what the church sanctions when it comes to your comfort.” She squeezes his hand. “How can I help you Love?”

Okay go the replay: I love Duke and… Holiday so much.

Alright so we're assuming that the girl that got hurt in shop class is Lex right? There's been the theory that Yellow Jacket is about Lex and I sure hope so so we can see what happened to her after Frank just disappeared for two weeks and what may have happened in shop class

She's a counsellor! The only school counsellor I'd trust!

Hey. Hey. Wait. Ofc this isn't Holloways first time changing persona. I wonder if Duke has met personas of her before, he probably has, I wonder how many times? Oh God this episode made be so emotional
