“Arabella, Angelina! Wait up!” Y/n exclaims as the nearly 4-year-olds run towards a familiar man clad in skinny jeans and a Red Bull shirt. She ignored the cameras on her and recorded as she ran across the paddock with heels to chase after her twin daughters.

“Papa!” The eldest of the two, Arabella, exclaims when she sees her father surrounded by a group of other drivers.

“Bella! Angel!” Max loudly exclaims, stepping back from the conversation to crouch down to the level of his daughters. Arabella wrapped her arms around him and Angelina quickly followed. The Dutch driver kissed their rosy cheeks as they giggled at their father's actions.

“You both look very pretty.” He said, pulling away for a moment.

“Mama dress us,” Angelina said in a softer voice compared to Arabella’s shout.

Y/n appeared moments later and was clearly out of breath from chasing the two. “Your daughters don’t listen, Verstappen. I cannot chase after them in heels.” She said out of breath, not noticing the shocked yet happy looks from the drivers.

“Oh my goodness, is that Arabella and Angelina?”

A familiar voice caused the two blonde girls to look up. “Uncle Lew!” The youngest, Angelina, exclaimed as she escaped from her father's grasp to hug the Mercedes driver.

Lewis was quick to scoop her up into his arms as Arabella also gave him a tight hug. He was Angelina’s favorite uncle, but Arabella’s favorite was actually his future teammate.

“Wow, you two are getting big!” Charles exclaimed, picking up Arabella who let out a laugh. “How old are you girls now?”

“Almost four!” The eldest replied as she held up her 4 fingers.

“Wow, Y/n, I’m surprised you actually came,” Lando said with a chuckle as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

They all knew the truth of why she retired. It was because she was 3 months pregnant with twins. Although she kept it a secret from the public, she was always close with the grid hence why they weren’t shocked about the twins but more so shocked that she’s back on the paddock.

“About time the twins know the paddock,” Y/n replied with a smile, watching the twins chat with their favorite uncles. “Plus, it’s nice to be back. It’s been ages. The girls should also know how cool their mama was.”

“Was? She still is.” Max corrected her.

“Yeah, but Mama doesn’t race anymore.”

“Mama drive with you?” Angelina asked Lewis. He let out a laugh, his eyes crinkling as he glanced at Y/n.

“Yeah, and she was a great teammate. But be careful, Y/n, Toto might convince you to replace me.”

His words caused her to laugh as she shook her head. “Gee, no thanks. These girls are tough to handle on their own. I don’t know if I could handle racing on top of that.” She sighs, reaching over to fix Angelina’s messy blonde curls.

“These babies? Difficult? Angelina and Arabella are angels!” Charles said in an exaggerated tone as he squeezed Arabella tightly.

Y/n leans in close to Charles and glances at Max, “Between you and me, they take after their father.”

“Hey!” The Dutch driver exclaimed, “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“It means go get ready for the race.”

At the reminder of the race, Lewis and Charles set the twins down and quickly said goodbye to also prepare. The rest of the drivers soon followed leaving the family of 4 alone.

Max turned to the smiley twins who stared at their favorite uncles walk away. His eyebrows furrowed up as he looked at Y/n who just let out a chuckle while shaking her head.

He focused back on the twins and crouched down again. “How about a hug and a kiss for your papa?” He suggested. The twins didn’t have to be told twice and were quick to run back into their fathers arms, each giving him a peck on the cheek.

“Papa, you win okay?” Arabella demanded as Angelina nodded in agreement. Max laughs, giving his daughters one last tight squeeze.

“If I win for you both and for Mama, we can have ice cream for dinner. How does that sound?”

His deal caused the two girls to cheer in excitement as Y/n sighed again. “You’re dealing with their sugar rush, Verstappen.”

“Not if I’m a race winner!”

You’re all mine

Summary: you and Joe end up confessing your feelings not just towards each other but also to your parents.

(September 2020)

It was a normal Friday night. You were at your best friend’s house for annual movie night and dinner. You have know Joe all your life. Your moms have been besties since middle school. They introduced the two of you when you guys were only 2 years old. Ever since you both have been best friends. You have always had some sort of feelings towards Joe but never told him. You thought it would ruin your friendship.

You both were laying on Joes couch watching Anyone But You. You were snuggled into joes neck and his hand was on your thigh. You guys always cuddle but something felt different. Like there was a different spark between you and Joe. A good spark. Your eyes started to get tired. Joe noticed your tired eyes and smiled. Knowing how safe and comfortable you felt laying on him. He then moved his hand from your thigh to your back. He rolled up the bottom half of your shirt and started drawing shapes on your bare skin. Going up and down your spine. It sent shivers all up and down your spine. You always imagined what it would be like to be his girlfriend. He always takes you to his events and everyone always asks him if you are his girlfriend. He smiles and his cheeks always get a little rosy. He says “no, she is my childhood best friend.” And that’s all he says. Sometimes people will tell him that they thought we were a couple because he sometimes puts his arm around me and we always check up on each other. It makes you get all happy inside. Like maybe there is a spark or a chance.

After a couple minutes your eyes finally closed and you fell asleep. Joe kept rubbing your back and watching the movie. But soon after he became tired to. He picked up the remote and turned the tv off. He then looked at you. He was mesmerized by you. Your beauty, your love, your kindness, your laugh. He loved everything about you. He realized a while ago that he had feelings for you. He just has been in football mode and didn’t even realize that he caught feelings. Joe stopped rubbing your back and put his arm under your legs and his other arm around your back to pick you up bridal style to put you to bed. You woke up to the sudden movement. All you did was wrap your arms around his neck and close your eyes again. He stood up with you in his arms and walked up the stairs. You usually sleep in the guest room so you thought he was bringing you in there, but he didn’t. Instead he brought you to his room. He laid you down on the side he doesn’t sleep on and out the covers over you. Turned off the lights and went over to his side. Crawled into bed next to you and looked over at you. You were on your side, your back was towards Joe. He watched as your body rose and fell from your breaths. They you quickly realized where you were once you felt Joe get it. You woke up and looked at Joe.

“Hey.”-joe

“Hi”-you

Then you moved your head to his chest and snuggled into him. You realized that Joe probably has feelings for you now because he put you in his bed. Joe didn’t really show a lot of affection to anyone really so when he shows it to you, you always feel like he had some sort of feelings towards you. He started playing with your hair as you curled up next to him.

“So, you probably know that I like you now since you are laying in my bed and-”-joe

You cut him off with placing a kiss on his lips

“Yeah, I know.”-you smiled

“Ok, good.”-joe

He kissed you

“Are you coming back with me to Athens tomorrow?”-joe

“Yeah, I figured I could see my parents and spend time with them.”-you

Joe nodded his head

“By the way, I like this.”-joe

“What do you mean?”-you

“Us, together.”-joe

“Like boyfriend and girlfriend kind of thing?”-you

“Yeah!”-joe

“Speaking of that, what are we?”-you

“Well, since we just kissed and we both have massive feelings towards each other I think it’s only right we start dating.”- joe smirked

“Ok burrow, deal!”-you

We both laughed.

Let’s just say the night ended in both of us not in our pjs.

———————————-

(Next day) in Athens

“Hey Mama!”-you

“Hey,hon!”-your mom

You just gotten to Athens with Joe and in your backyard with your parents, but Joe is coming over soon with his parents and his siblings for some barbecue.

After setting up the table outside for everyone to eat the Burrows finally arrived.

“Hey guys!”-robin and jimmy

“Hi!”- your dad and mom

After they hugged Robin and Jimmy moved to you.

“Y/n! You look gorgeous as always.”-robin

“Aww thank you, Robin!”-you pulled her in to a hug

“Hey sweetie.”-Jimmy

“Hi Jimmy! So nice to see you!”-you pulled him into a hug

After saying hello to joes parents you see Joe and his siblings.

“Y/n! How have you been?”-codie (Jamie’s wife)

“I’ve been good! How about you? How are the kids?”-you

“They are amazing! They are with my parents tonight.”-Codie

You then said hello to Joes brothers and made some funny jokes with them about when you were younger. As you laughed with Dan you see Joe approaching.

“Hey.”- joe blushed

“Hey.”- you smiled

You pulled each other into a tight hug. Your arms around his neck and his arms around your lower waist.

Your families still didn’t know about you and Joe so you guys had to keep it low key.

As you moved out of the hug, Joe still had one of his arms around your waist and was staring so deeply at you. You locked eyes with him. You were about to say something when your mom called.

“Dinner everyone!”- your mom

You pulled out of Joes contact and walked to the table. You intertwined your fingers with his as you walked over to your seat. Joe sat next to you.

“This looks amazing!”- Dan

“Thank you.”- your mom and dad

Everyone started eating and it was so good no words were said for a whole 5 minutes.

“So, y/n how are things at work?”- Jimmy

“It’s been good! Patients come in and out every day. Some stay longer than others and I usually work more with them.”- you

You are a physician psychologist at your local hospital in Cincinnati. You have been there for three years and love it.

“That’s nice. Anyone give you crap?”- Jimmy

You laughed

“Sometimes, but really just the teenagers who hate talking about everything and anything. I can handle them though.”- you

“Good. Always knew how to put someone in their place.”- Jimmy

“It’s true. She once got sent home from school because she started going off on one of her school bullies.”- your mom

“Oh yeah! I remember that, it was awesome.”- joe

Everyone laughed

They started talking about how Joe and I were inseparable all through elementary school to college. Then they switched subjects into joes love life.

“Joes only had one crush his whole life. I don’t think that’s changed.”- Dan smirked over at us

“Yeah, and I never found out who it was.”- you laughed

“Oh well, you know her very well.”- Dan

“I do?”- you

“Yeah, she is brunette, works in a hosp-.”- Dan

“Ok, ok, I think that’s enough Dan.”- joe

“Hey, he was just about to tell me.”- you

“I know he was but you definitely already know who my crush was and still is.”- joe

“No I don’t.”- you

You were honestly a bit confused. Surprisingly because you can read a room very well and always good at figuring out details but you can’t seem to get it.

“Yes you do y/n, especially after last night.”- joe looked up at you and smirked

“Last night? What happened last nigh- oh.”- you

Your face became flushed

“Wait, what happened last night?”- Dan

“Wait, I was your crush all along? It took you this long burrow to tell me?!!”- you

“GUYS! What happened last night?”- Dan

“Yeah!”- everyone

“Ok, ok, last night we told each other we like one another and we hooked up.”- joe

“WHAT!”- everyone

“You didn’t need to tell them the hooked up part Joey.”- you laughed

“Sorry.”- joe whispered with smile

“Wait, wait, you guys hooked up last night? Finally!”- Codi

Everyone laughed

“So, what are you guys now? A couple?”- Jamie

“Yeah, yeah we are.”- you looked up at Joe

Joe nodded with a big happy smile

“OMG! Finally.”- robin

“Seriously.”- your mom chuckled

Joe put his left hand on your thigh and you put your hand on top.

“So, it’s been me all along.”- you

“Always has been.”- joe smirked

“Such an ass, burrow.”- you

You leaned on for a kiss.

“You’re all mine.”- joe

Oooooo Soror Renata for the wip game?

I can't sleep tonight, so I'll go ahead and answer since I now have the time!

Soror Renata is actually one of my Harry Potter fanfics! GASP-- HARRY POTTER?! In the good year of our lord, 2023?! I know, it's cringe, but hear me out - back in 2020 through 2021, I needed...something different. I was in a very rough patch at the time, and my brain wasn't attaching to any of my comfort fixations. So, I decided to look up Drarry, since it is literally THE defining ship that has shaped modern fandom as we know it. And like...I got addicted, asjdkladja

Not just Drarry, no. But to the Weasley's.

I seen myself in the Weasley's.

And I went into that HP fixation fully knowing exactly what JK Rowling is. So, in an act of retaliation in the only way that I knew how, I decided to make a transgender coming of age fic. With Ronald Weasley.

I turned Harry's best friend into a trans girl who is trying to find her way through a prejudiced society that not only hates her family for being blood traitors, but also trying to navigate her way through her family's closeminded misunderstandings and traditions of what her identity should be. Because ultimately, the Weasley's are still prejudiced and privileged in their own ways due to being purebloods, especially Molly Weasley and her thinking of what it means to be a proper woman.

Soror Renata is a very personal fic for me. I'm no longer fixated on HP, but I still wanna finish it someday, because...it's a story about me, too. A story that I've wanted to see as a trans teen trying to find security in how he identifies - wondering if it's okay to figure yourself out so *late* when all you ever hear is stories about trans people knowing when they were children. Soror Renata is about Ron as she comes to find out that she has centered herself around her family so much that she holds herself back from who she really is inside, because she has internalized their own harsh beliefs and wraps them up safely behind blind loyalty. There are a lot of hints throughout Ron's life that tells her that she isn't the boy that people thinks she is, but she doesn't realize that they mean anything until her 5th to 6th year. And she doesn't deal with it in relief. She deals with it like another metal weight to her heart, because...because she already has so much on her plate, and now she finds out that her life is going to be even harder from now on because she can't stand living life in a masculine-shaped lie. She refuses to be anything less then who she truly is, and goddamnit it's gonna hurt. So can't she cry about it just this one time? Then, afterwards, she'll be ready to face tomorrow, again and again, even as the insults get worse, even as the family fights increase, even as Voldemort returns and she has to keep her best friends alive. She'll keep fighting, even when she's too tired to do so, because she is a Weasley and she doesn't back down easily. And eventually...when the dust has settled, years upon years later...she'll realize that it's all been worth it. As she holds her sweet, sweet newborn baby girl Rosie in her arms, and realizes that she's a mother. It's all been worth it.

Soror Renata fucks me up SO MUCH, even just talking about it makes me wanna CRY A FUCKING RIVER, It means so so so much to me and my own journey as a trans man, and I *need* to finish it someday for my own mental health, jkajdaksldjakl

#Soror Renata #HP #Btw the title means Sister Reborn in latin! Fun fact! #Harry Potter and The Dissolution of Gender Binaries #AKA I make every character in HP gay or trans or gay AND trans #Ron would also continue to call herself Ron in this fic bc I imagine that she's fine with her nickname #Her dysphoria is more bodily rather than socially and its just easier to have everyone still call her Ron when its like #Still an acceptable shortening of Rowenna #MtF Ron Weasley #Trans girl Ron Weasley Propaganda #We love her in this household She is my religion #Harry Potter

[clarktooncrossing]

Hey there people of today and robots of tomorrow! It's me, Clark, back at least with another #throwbackthursday (on a Friday cuz I'm dumb), just in time to celebrate my home country's independence. Admittedly that was way harder to do back in 2020 back when I made this piece. The Corona Virus was spreading like wildfire, those sworn to protect the people were gunning them down like dogs, so many aspects made being patriotic feel so scummy. Yet much like with the Walt Disney Company, I prefer to believe for what this nation stands for. That all people are created equal, that liberty and justice are indeed for all, and hamburgers are freak'n delicious. It's with that mindset that I drew four of the stars of 3K as American icons.

Starting from left to right we have SHORT-E, a forensic scientist who just so happens to look like a floating trash can. Honestly I couldn't think of a specific US character to dress him up as, so I slapped a sailor's cap on him and called it a day. Next up there's the resident New Yorker and first Clarktoon ERN-E rocking the ensemble of Uncle Sam! His arm is wrapped around his true love, fashion designer and reformed demon EMIL-E, looking like Lady Liberty! Her wearing that for a DUDEL is actually the reason I drew all of this in the first place.

Thank the maker my art skills improved drastically since I first drew this sketch in 2016. Finally we have SHORT-E's girlfriend SHER-I, a creation of my friend SIM-N from 2013.

She started off as a cave exploring droid before we made her a pet shop owner with a quirky personality. Here she's rockin' the Rosie the Riveter rag and flexing a muscle for freedom! Like these four mechanical amigos, I hope you all have a Happy Fourth of July!

#throwback thursday #clarktooncrossing #clarktoons #robot #ERN-E #EMIL-E #SHORT-E #SHER-I #Finjix #Lady Liberty #Rosie the Riveter #America #fourth of july #independence day #Statue of Liberty

2022 Year in Review

I'm so late, pretend I did this like five weeks ago.

I was tagged by the incomparable @lucerants for a 2022 Year in Review!! Here we go! I'm also gonna talk about 'em all so this is gonna get long!

Top 5 Movies you watched this year:

1 - The Medium (2021)

This is an excellent and disturbing Thai horror film about possession. The last thirty minutes are such pure insanity, all I could do was stare at the screen with my mouth gaping. Highly recommended if you love horror.

2 - Encanto (2022)

What a delightful and beautiful film! I loved the themes of family, being true to yourself, and the importance of acceptance. The music absolutely slaps - if "We Don't Talk About Bruno" didn't get stuck in your head this year, did you really live??

3 - The Fallout (2021)

This was one of the first Jenna Ortega films I saw, and I really enjoyed it. She and Maddie Ziegler had great chemistry and did a really good job of portraying their new-friends-but-also-maybe-more relationship. And it was a truly heartbreaking and very real depiction of what being a teenager in our mass shooting saturated society must feel like.

4 - Spiderman: No Way Home

I'm not really into Marvel, as a rule, but I had to check this movie out since they brought Tobey Maguire back. I was surprised at how emotional I got when story lines from over a decade ago got some closure, especially since that closure came with a lot of empathy for the villains. It was a really fun, meta, fan-servicey movie that made me smile, and even tear up a bit at the end.

5 - Everything, Everywhere, All at Once

Technically I watched this movie at the very beginning of 2023, but I'm going to add it here now because I think it's a movie that truly defined and reflected the feeling of being alive in the early 2020s so well. It was so brilliantly written and shot, just an absolute phantasmagorical roller-coaster of action, comedy, and incredibly heartfelt emotion. I had only heard good things going in, and this film absolutely lived up to my high expectations.

Top 5 TV shows you watched this year

1 - Station Eleven

This show changed me. It's truly one of the most beautiful, well-written, gentle, and human stories I've ever witnessed. It took a setting and premise I thought I was done with forever - post-apocalypse fiction - and made something profoundly impactful. Get the tissues. Prepare to feel everything.

2 - Interview with the Vampire

This was such a delightful adaptation, especially in the ways they changed it. Jacob Anderson as Louis captured the character in a way that brings incredible nuance, even more so in his position as a black gay man in the early 20th century. Sam Reid was an electric and terrifyingly appealing Lestat. And Bailey Bass brought Claudia to life and managed to perfectly portray her various life stages, even as she remains ageless. It's just a really, really good interpretation of a story that I already loved, so it was a joy to watch.

3 - House of the Dragon

I love messy blondes, I love tragic love stories, I love women and their complex and tender and vitriolic relationships. Also dragons. I'm interacting with the fandom via a ten-foot pole, and am very pleased that two of my most treasured mutuals (Luce, Rosy <3) were along for the ride with me for s1.

4 - The Wilds (s2)

I'll never forgive Amazon for giving this show the axe. I'll also never forgive the fandom for reacting to the boys so negatively. S3 would've been incredible. But! I'm glad that we got s2, and got to see more from the Unsinkable Eight. I'm glad we got to meet the boys and learn their stories. I'll always be impressed and grateful for the way this show handled a storyline about sexual assault between young men. And even though there are still so many unanswered questions and we needed an s3, I'm glad that pretty much all of the mysteries introduced in s1 were wrapped up by the end. Better to have loved those castaways and lost them than never loved them at all!

5 - Our Flag Means Death

This show was such a salve - a joyful little pirate sitcom that played on sitcom tropes in a way that made every episode a delight. It was funny, charming, and beautifully shot. I'm so excited for season two!

Top 5 DnD Campaigns you watched this year

The biggest shift in my life this year, especially in terms of media I consume, was my discovery of DnD actual play shows. If I wasn't actively watching a TV show this year, D20 was on in the background. I watched these campaigns multiple times each. I am obsessed.

1 - Critical Role's EXU: Calamity

One of the most heart-wrenching stories I've ever seen, beautifully told and acted by an incredible team of DnD players. The ending is so bittersweet and perfect. I caught the finale live and it wrecked me, I spent the last hour of it weeping. (It was also 1am and the end of a six-hour marathon.) What a masterpiece. The Bronze Ring endures.

2 - Dimension 20: Fantasy High Sophomore Year

This is my favorite campaign by the folks at Dimension 20. The fact that it's live, so delightfully chaotic, and has the lowest production value of any other season makes it so charming and comforting to me. Plus Kalina is easily a Top 3 D20 villain.

3 - D20: A Crown of Candy

Coming up at a close second, A Crown of Candy was the first D20 season I finished. I binged it in about two days (didn't watch the Adventuring Parties at first, though) and felt so thoroughly ripped from the world when it was over that I kinda mourned a family of candy people for like two days straight. It's such a fun, technicolor, sugary-sweet world - but the plot and characters are so complex, so dark, that I was completely swept away by their story. It's just a really well-built and clever world, and it features some of my favorite D20 characters ever (Amethar, Saccarhina, Lapin, and Calroy.)

4 - D20: The Seven

Since The Seven is set in the same world as Fantasy High, I went in with really steep expectations. I was definitely not disappointed. The vibes and relationships between all of the women at the table is so genuine and infectious. The story is touching, but there's so much chaos and so many shenanigans from the characters that there's also so much to laugh about. It's another comfort rewatch, for sure.

5 - D20: Misfits and Magic

Aabria as a GM is always a good time for me, and I really loved seeing this cast parody the Harry Potter universe (and associated "kids at magic boarding school" trope) with such affection, but also incisive criticism. It's funny, light-hearted, and also really fun to watch Brennan be a PC, and get to bounce off the other players as a single personality. (Evan + K = 4Ever)

Top 5 Songs of this year

(I'm not gonna take this from Spotify, although all of these songs were in my top 20)

1 - "It's Called: Freefall" by Rainbow Kitten Surprise

This song did it all for me in 2022. It was a comfort song, a pump-up song, a breakdown song, and a sing-a-long and dance song. I don't know why it struck such a chord with me - I'd enjoyed plenty of other RKS songs before, but never on this level. It just resonates. It was my top song of 2022 on Spotify, and given that the four next songs are all by Halsey, that's saying something.

2 - "Whispers" by Halsey

After seeing this song live, it swiftly reentered my top 5 from IICHLIWP. It's an intense experience even just as a studio track, but the way Halsey sang it in person elevated the song to something even more painfully relatable and real. It's a song that's followed me into 2023, that's for sure.

3 - "Bounce Man" by Twenty One Pilots

I didn't like most of Scaled and Icy, but this song was a huge exception. It was my go-to whenever I needed a pick-me-up. That addictively catchy chorus, the fun beat, the lyrics being hopeful in the face of a scary situation (classic TOP) - that's a combination that hits just right on a tough day.

4 - "Fucks Me Up" by Anthony Green

On the other side of the coin, this song will make you cry on that same tough day, but you'll feel better afterwards. My husband and I share a love for Saosin and Circa Survive, mostly because of Anthony Green's incredible vocals. This entire album is gorgeous, but this song (and the last verse in particular) - well, it fucks me up!

5 - "Tree House" by Alex G feat Emily Yacina

This one is sweet, fun, and calming, and is going to remain in my rotation for a long time to come. It reminds me of my best friend (she did show it to me, but it'd remind me of her even if she hadn't,) and makes me feel so cozy and safe. It's just nice. :)

Top 5 albums of this year

1 - If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power by Halsey

For the second year in a row, this album owned my entire life. Most of my top ten on my Spotify Wrapped was devoted to this album. I still go buckwild when I heard "Easier than Lying" and it's my most played song on Spotify EVER, which includes like five years of music-listening. Getting to see most of these songs live (and then some, that 2hr set was crazy) made for one of the best nights of my entire life. It was an emotional experience bordering on spiritual, which is not a place I normally visit. It's Halsey's masterpiece, a perfect marriage of her abilities as a lyricist combined with some of the best production they've ever had. I just love it so goddamn much.

2 - Boom. Done. by Anthony Green

This album is a beautiful, heart-wrenching, honest reflection on addiction, recovery, and trauma. It's sonically very soothing, but lyrically absolutely crushing, which makes for a very tender experience. My husband and I spent most of the end of the year with these songs on rotation when were listened to music together, so this album is going to hold a special place in my heart for a long time.

3 - HOLY FVCK by Demi Lovato

I feel Demi has always been destined to make an album like this. Their voice is perfect for rock music, and the honesty in her lyrics (which reflect her very difficult life experiences) just work so much better with guitars and drums behind them than snyth beats. I didn't love every song on this album, but it's definitely my favorite work by Demi thus far.

4 & 5. Hopeless Fountain Kingdom (Live at Webster Hall) and Badlands (Live at Webster Hall) by Halsey

Although these are two very different albums, I love them for the same reason, which is that they both are records of Halsey performing live. I truly think live performances are where they shine the brightest, and many of the live versions of these songs have completely replaced the studio versions for me.

Top 5 fictional characters of this year

1 - Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower (House of the Dragon)

As Luce said, you cannot separate them, it causes wars. I love them both so much. And I'm gonna love and hate watching them continue to tear each other apart.

2 - Louis de Pointe du Lac (Interview with the Vampire)

Jacob Anderson just killed the fuck out of this role, and made me appreciate Louis in a way I never have before.

3 - Adaine Abernant (Fantasy High)

I actually can't put into words how much I love Adaine, or why. If you know, you know.

4 - Kirsten Raymonde (Station Eleven)

I'm always a sucker for a fierce, protective woman with a metric fuckton of baggage, who still manages to maintain a heart of gold in the midst of a horrible situation. Kirsten is all of that, and so, so much more.

5 - Lizzie Saltzman (Legacies)

I just think she's a really fun extension on Caroline Forbes' character, as her heir apparent, and she was often the funniest and most emotionally engaging character on the show. Plus, y'know, Hizzie.

The Lion’s Path: 5.3 The Water Fountain

A retelling of the Arcana Prologue featuring Rosie Springwald, a vindictive hedgewitch searching for herself. The final chapter of the prologue! Thanks so much to @honeyfixations​ for beta reading all of this + going on this writing journey w me :”) WC: 2020 Remembrance and Forgetting are equally as painful. 

Rosie returned to her quarters, dressed in a robe and hair still wet from the bath. A small parcel sat on the desk caught her eye as soon as she had shut the door behind her. On top of it was a note from the Countess, addressed to her, written in beautiful calligraphy:

“A gift for my dear guest. This emerald seemed to call your name. Wear it in good health. And Rosie, you may call me Nadia.”

The chain of the necklace was incredibly fine, and slipped through her fingers like sand. She squinted, studying the jewel. Slowly, she began to recognize its energy.

‘Asra!’ Her eyes widened and she could practically feel his magic radiating into her hands in gentle waves. She clutched the necklace to her chest, her eyes determined. ‘If I could find Julian...I can find Asra.’

---------------------------------------------------------

At midnight, when the Palace halls were quiet, Rosie stole out of her room, her traveling cloak wrapped tightly around her and with Pippin on her shoulder; bouncing as she sprinted. The emerald hung from her neck, just above her amulet.

‘Asra,’ He filled her thoughts. His face, his laugh. How he would hum while he made them both tea, how he’d sleep curled around her, petting her hair and singing softly any time there was a thunderstorm. He’d only been gone for two days, and yet it felt as though two hundred had passed since she last wrapped her arms around him.

Rosie vaulted over the edge of the veranda into the lush gardens below. The warm breeze gently rustled her hair as she made her way along the winding garden paths, following the sound of falling water. She came to a stop in a small clearing, where before her lay a fountain with a wide gazing pool; an old willow tree overhanging it. Something moving in the branches above  caught her eye.

“Faust?” As if to wave hello, the serpent descended partially and let her body sway in the wind. Pippin squeaked excitedly, and leapt from Rosie’s shoulder to sit on the branch next to Faust.

“What are you doing here little lady? Didn’t you go with Asra?” Rosie asked, holding her hand out for the serpent to wind up her arm. Faust’s body was  a comforting, if cold weight against her skin.

“Well I’m glad-”

Pippin chittered indignantly.

“We’re glad to see you,” Rosie said as Faust settled around her shoulders. “Were you waitin’ for me?” The snake flicked her tongue out, brushing Rosie’s nose. “You knew I was lookin’ for Asra, didn’t you?”

She settled on the edge of the pool, peering into the reflective, clear surface. Faust bumped her nose against the emerald, her red eyes watching it intently as Rosie slipped it from her neck. She shut her eyes and took a deep breath as she held it out over the water…and dropped it. Light caught on every glittering facet as it sank slowly to the bottom of the pool. For a moment, nothing happened. And then slowly, the water began to change. Colors bloomed and shapes unfolded. The more Rosie concentrated, the more rapidly they changed. Her reflection faded away and was slowly replaced by…

Asra. He was crouched over a pool, cupping water in his hands and drinking deeply. Each drop that escaped his fingers sent ripples through his reflection. Rosie sat awestruck, afraid to speak for fear of breaking the spell. Asra shook out his hair and blinked the water from his eyes, looking right at her.

“Rosie?” His eyes widened in surprise. “Can you hear me?”

“Yes,” She breathed, barely able to believe it herself. “Yes!”

Asra leaned close enough that she could see the droplets that clung to his eyelashes. “Incredible!” He said with a laugh. She could see him better now; he sat cross legged with the strange beast from her dreams laying beside him, resting its head on his knee. “Ah, and Faust is with you. Looks like she found you alright.”

“You sent her?”

Asra nodded. “I wasn’t all that sure about leaving her. But after that reading you gave me…I thought I’d trust my intuition.” Tall palm trees swayed behind him on a backdrop of glittering stars. The starlight shone on his pale hair, seeming to give it a faint glow. Faust hovered over the water, her forked tongue sending a faint ripple over Asra’s reflection. “Faust, you’re looking lively. Being around Rosie does that to you, doesn’t it?”

“I’m glad she’s here, Pippin was getting lonely.” On queue Pippin landed on Rosie’s head, leaning over to pat one of Faust’s coils fondly. Asra looked incredibly pleased with himself. “I’m glad you’re here Asra. I know it's only been a few days, but I've missed you so much.”

Asra’s face flushed, and the beast on his knee gave a rumbling snort. “I’ve missed you too,” He paused, noticing the willow tree behind her. “Are you at the Palace?” Rosie sighed heavily, and began to tell him the events of the days since they’d parted. The more she told, the more his eyes glimmered.

“Unbelievable. The day that I leave was the day you needed me the most…” Rosie nodded, but stopped in surprise at what Asra said next; “And even then, you didn’t really need me at all. I’m glad Faust is with you and Pippin, at least if anything happens to either of you, I’ll know. I can live with that.”

“You look so tired,” Rosie said, wishing she could hold him close and smooth out his hair.  Asra’s expression was sleepy, but content.

“I don’t feel tired. I was just about to get into the water, but you beat me to it.” She rolled her eyes and smiled. Faust slithered from her  shoulders and settled in her lap.

“Faust has really opened up to you.” Asra paused, his eyes suddenly pained and guilty. “It may be time for me to do the same.” Rosie’s breath caught in her throat.

“I-it’s about time!” She all but squeaked, making Asra laugh.

“No, really. It’s true. I want to start being more honest with you.”

“I...I’d like that.”

“So, what’s on your mind? Ask me whatever you like. All that I ask is that you start being more honest with me, too.”

“I’m always honest,” Rosie said in mock offense. ‘But I can’t deny...all these burning questions sear my mind…” “Who is Julian Devorak? What does he mean to you?”

“Julian? Ah yes...he goes by that name, too.” Asra’s expression became stormy. “I knew him by another. He was a friend, once. Then more...and then something else entirely…” Rosie’s thin brows arched in question. “Who is Julian to me...who is he to anyone?”

“Well he-”

“He’s whoever he needs to be, to get what he wants.” Asra said, cutting her off. “To think, he would come for me, after all that...let’s leave it at this: he’s a hack physician with a lot to learn. Until he does, nothing good will come of him.” Asra sighed heavily and shook his head.

“I see.” Rosie said, her lips pursed. Asra smiled up at her, trying to lighten the mood.

“Is there, perhaps, something else on your mind?” He asked, his eyes twinkling.

“Well…who am I to you?” Asra’s eyes went wide and his lips parted. For a moment he looked confused and almost hurt. He sighed and  leaned forward, looking right into Rosie’s hazel eyes.

“Who are you to me?”

“Please.”

“I hope you’re ready to know. I’m glad you asked, it’s been so hard to keep from you. You’re not a student to me. You never have been…”

“I’m not?” Her heart began to race.

“No. You’ve helped me grow. I’ve learned just as much from you as you from me.”

“But is that all?” She asked, feeling her heart begin to sink. ‘This whole time, I thought…’

Asra peered up at her through his curls. “Nowhere close. Do you want it all?”

“More than anythin’. ”

Asra hesitated and closed his eyes. Rosie leaned back, startled as the water in the pool began to churn, glowing brighter. She gasped as Asra’s glittering form suddenly emerged from the water. He shivered and gleamed, more like a bubble than a solid being. She reached out, wanting desperately to touch him, but stopped herself, instinctively knowing if she did, the magic would burst and scatter away.

“We’re no closer than before, but it’s better this way. You wanted to know it all, so I’ll tell you properly,” Asra said. “How deeply, how completely I have come to care for you. I...I didn’t think I could feel this way. I even tried to deny it. But...how could I deny it, when my chest is so light, when I can do anything if I’m with you? Every day, my love for you grows; brighter and brighter until it consumes me.”

Rosie bit her lip, her eyes began to well with tears. ‘But if that’s so…’

“Sometimes, I’m afraid you can see it, and I have to escape, to hide from you. I don’t want to hide anymore. I don’t want to keep secrets from you. I want you to remember,” Asra said, his shimmering hands so close to her face, so desperate to cradle her. Rosie leaned back and shook her head. A dormant geyser of emotions finally burst in her chest.

“I don’t understand!”

“Rosie-”

“If you loved someone…if you loved me so much, why would you keep running away?! That doesn’t make sense!”

“I kept running to protect you-”

Emotions clashed violently, colorfully in her heart. Hurt, confusion, anger, elation. ‘He loves me! Asra loves me! But...but..’

“Protect me from what?! I dunnae need to be protected! I’m not some helpless idiot who cannae look after ‘erself!” Rosie snapped as tears raced down her cheeks. She stood, and then stumbled, her chest suddenly painfully tight. Her hands clutched her temples, her head feeling impossibly heavy. Asra’s eyes flashed with concern, his intangible hands futilely trying to catch her.

“Rosie!”

“Asra, I-” All her strength had seemingly left her body, and she fell to her knees, shaking uncontrollably.

“Rosie! No, no, no…”

Her vision began to stutter, the stones beneath her distorting. ‘No, even if I’m upset. I want to, I need to tell him that...’

“Please, please look at me. Rosie. Rosie?” She struggled to lift her head. Her eyes wouldn’t focus; trying to look at Asra made them begin to roll back into her head. She groaned as white-hot pain tried to crush her, her heart roaring in her ears. Her nails dug helplessly at the stone.

“Okay, don’t look at me. Breathe! Just breathe, Rosie, I’m so sorry. I was reckless, I shouldn’t have tried. Rosie, I need you to forget.” ‘Forget? How can I? I…”

“Forget, Rosie.” ‘No, no....I want to remember! I want to remember that Asra said he loves me, because I…’

She felt, as if it was the whisper of a memory, Asra’s lips pressed against her forehead; and her eyes fluttered shut into surrender.

The pain inside her burst. But instead of burning, it washed over her like a cool mist, drifting through her veins. Soft, rolling smoke filled her mind and washed away questions. Washed away thoughts. Ever so slowly, Rosie returned to herself. Fine droplets had settled onto her skin. Her breathing was ragged and shallow, but she was breathing. Pippin sat, curled next to her head, watching over her protectively. She groaned, and sat up slowly. Faust watched her from where she sat coiled on the edge of the fountain.

“I-I did reach Asra, didn’t I?”

The familiars exchanged a worried look, and then nodded.

‘I know I did. But what else? Did we get to talk? What did we say? ’

Rosie shook her head, trying to clear the fog from her mind. “I guess I overdid it...Oh well,” she shakily got to her feet and motioned for the animals to follow. “C’mon you two. Let’s get to bed.” She murmured, looking back at the fountain; eyes full of longing A longing she did not understand.

Favorite Americana and Roots Albums of 2023

It's that time of year again when publications drag out their annual Best Of 2023 lists. Here at Concerthopper Album Review Central, we love these as they always give us something new to listen to and put on our Christmas list. But, as with every year, we avoid the “Best” label on our list in favor of “Favorite.” This is simply because, even keeping ourselves limited to Americana albums, there are just too many released every week for us to ever hear them all. Here's hoping you find something new to grab at your local indie record store to stuff in those stockings! Where we reviewed the album, we have included a link. Where not, we've included a YouTube video of a highlight song from the album.

10. Cidny Bullens- Little Pieces One of the best things about music is its ability to give you a chance to understand the experiences of a demographic not your own. In the case of Cidny Bullens, Little Pieces offers an opportunity to walk in the shoes of a transgender man, both the struggles and joys. It's all wrapped in a mix of power pop and roots music that'll keep your toes tapping.

9. The Arcadian Wild- Welcome Is it Americana? Folk? Jazz? Chamber Pop? You'll ask yourself those questions throughout your first couple of listens of Welcome. After that, you'll decide you don't care. Whatever genre you place them in, The Arcadian Wild has delivered a fun album of intelligent tunes that challenge listeners in the best way possible at every turn.

8. Whitney Rose- Rosie After an illness hospitalized her and prevented her from touring in 2023, Whitney Rose poured that pain into her latest studio effort, Rosie. The result is an album that flawlessly blends classic country and '60s pop (think Skeeter Davis) in a way that is a natural maturation from her last album, 2020's We Still Go to Rodeos.

7. Hello June- Artifacts A major step forward for Hello June. Primary songwriter Sara Rudy proves her album title is apt as she digs deep into her own experiences for an intensely first-person album of highly literary lyrics. From a dying love (“Faded Blue”) to a dying parent (“Interstate”) to an ode to her newborn nephew (“Sometimes”) to a stellar cover of John Denver's “Country Roads (Take Me Home)”, there's plenty to recommend here.

6. Parker Millsap- The Wilderness Within You Parker Millsap, already one of Americana's most willing explorers, just keeps expanding his boundaries on The Wilderness Within You. The album, often a musing on stepping away from the electronics addiction to reconnect with people, surprises with its technological flourishes, pulling from New Wave and Krautrock on songs like “So Far Apart.”

5. Doolin'- Circus Boy It's not often you hear the term “French Celtic Supergroup.” But that's Doolin' for you. However, on Circus Boy, the band expands beyond its Celtic roots into Folk Pop (“The Darkest Way”), Americana (“Circus Boy”), French pop (“L'amour Sorcier”), and Calypso (a cover of Harry Belafonte's hit “Man Smart, Woman Smarter”). The result is one of the most fun albums on this list.

4. Dom Flemons- Traveling Wildfire Dom Flemons is Roots Music's most dedicated historian. He began (alongside Rhiannon Giddens and Justin Robinson) his work of unearthing the almost-forgotten history of black string band music with Carolina Chocolate Drops and has continued to do so with his solo records for Smithsonian Folkways. But Traveling Wildfire also shows off Flemons' love of traditional country, from the ambling waltz of “Slow Dance With You” to the Marty Robbins-esque western story song “It's Cold Inside” alongside his historical remembrances like “Nobody Wrote It Down.”

3. Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway- City of Gold Wanderlust is the loose theme of City of Gold, the new album from Molly Tuttle's bluegrass project Golden Highway. Co-written almost entirely with Old Crow Medicine Show's Ketch Secor, Tuttle, and her stellar all-star band blast through a set of tales about gold rush pioneers (“El Dorado”), a road trip between two lovers trying to mend a widening gap (“Yosemite”, featuring guest vocals from Dave Matthews), and a lament for the loss of the wild and crazy festival fans who have given way to selfie-snapping scenesters (“Where Did All the Wild Things Go?”)

2. Cinder Well- Cadence While it's not the #1 album of the year so far, it's a near thing. No album bowled me over like Cadence in the first half of 2023. I was familiar with Amelia Baker's “doom folk” project from her excellent previous album No Summer, but nothing prepared me for the dark explorations of the “thin places” in our reality where magic, not always positive, happens. Songs like “Two Heads, Grey Mare” and “Gone the Holding” practically drip with the Old Ways of Baker's home on Ireland's coast. 1. Jason Isbell- Weathervanes One of these days, Jason Isbell is going to release an album that's “just” really good. This isn't that year and, like every other release year since I've been doing Album of the Year lists, he comes out on top. Backed up by The 400 Unit, who just continue to make the case that they're this generation's Heartbreakers, Isbell continues to write fully fleshed-out characters in four-minute rhymes. There's the opioid-addicted protagonist of the standout song “King of Oklahoma,” the girl coping with the fact that her racist town “won't get no better, will it?” on “Cast Iron Skillet, a man breaking down about how to raise his child in a world where schools get shot up every other day on “Save the World,” and so much more. Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit are the kings of rock and roll right now and they don't look interested in surrendering the throne anytime soon.

Gardner is a surname of English, Scottish and Irish origin. Most sources say it is an occupational surname that comes from the word "gardener". Other sources claim that it is derived from the old English words gar-dyn meaning "warrior", "one who bears arms".

2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023… John 20:11 Mary was standing outside the tomb crying, and as she wept, she stooped and looked in. John 20:12 She saw two white-robed angels, one sitting at the head and the other at the foot of the place where the body of Jesus had been lying. John 20:13 “Dear woman, why are you crying?” the angels asked her. “Because they have taken away my Lord,” she replied, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” John 20:14 She turned to leave and saw someone standing there. It was Jesus, but she didn’t recognize him. John 20:15 “Dear woman, why are you crying?” Jesus asked her. “Who are you looking for?” She thought he was the gardener. “Sir,” she said, “if you have taken him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and get him.” John 20:16 “Mary!” Jesus said. She turned to him and cried out, “Rabboni!” (which is Hebrew for “Teacher”). John 20:17 “Don’t cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I haven’t yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” John 20:18 Mary Magdalene found the disciples and told them, “I have seen the Lord!” Then she gave them his message. John 20:19 That Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them! “Peace be with you,” he said. John 20:20 As he spoke, he showed them the wounds in his hands and his side. They were filled with joy when they saw the Lord! John 20:21 Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” John 20:22 Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. John 20:23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven. If you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”

Her Hope, Love and Faith was Red… Mary Magdalene and the red egg in the Orthodox tradition In the Eastern Orthodox tradition, Mary Magdalene visited Emperor Tiberius to issue a complaint about how Pontius Pilate handled Jesus’s trial. As she described the events of the crucifixion and resurrection, the Emperor dismissed her story, scoffing, “That could no more happen than the egg in your hand could turn red”. Promptly, Mary Magdalene prayed and the egg turned red. (MagdaleneSacredJourneys.com)

Rosie Bolton, Greg Muldoon and Nora, backgarden in Stoke, Coventry. Plot taken on August 2020.

Rosie: We haven’t been doing much as we’ve been so busy. Greg: In the past couple of years we’ve started too early and there’s been really late frosts. Today we’re tidying and sorting as the frosts are almost over. Nora is interested in the seeds! (Nora throws soil everywhere) Nora: Yeah Greg: We haven’t started sowing many seeds yet as we don’t have loads of space. It’s been too cold to start germinating stuff. In my job I hosted a seed and crop-swap yesterday so there was lots of leftovers there. We’ve been doing other things in the garden as well like filling a compost bin at the top of this bed which will be super rich and ready to go soon, and we flattened that space of earth over there. We inherited this garden and it’s a bit of a pig-sty. It still is in some cases. We’re slowly getting there. This kale is two years in, it has finally started to bolt but it’s been through two winters and there are seeds to save, the seeds will be strong. Rosie: We want lots of beetroots! Greg: We’re focusing on things that usually come wrapped in plastic. And herbs, that bed is full of herbs we use day to day. Rosie: We have a globe artichoke coming up there. We planted it last year and it’s coming up now. We’ve planted bulbs - my mum and sister came and did that. Greg: We’ve got blossom on our cherry tree which we’re excited about. We have raspberries self-seeding from our next-door neighbour which we’re going to keep. They’re golden raspberries so the birds tend to eat them less for some reason. Nora has been planting peas and Rosie planted garlic bulbs. It’s harder to go outside with Nora at the moment as she’s so much more mobile and also chaotic. She doesn’t listen to reason. You can try and garden with her but she just wants to throw dirt everywhere. She’ll pick it up as she spends a lot of time outdoors. Rosie: She loves splashing around, she just loves getting dirty which I suppose is what being a baby is for. By the time there is carrots we’ll have the paddling pool out and she’ll have somewhere else to do all this business. Greg: We had our bathroom stripped out recently so we have a bathtub as a big planter, and we still haven’t built our hothouse yet but we’ll get there. It’s trying to find a full day where we can put our attention to it and build it when we’re not working or… (Nora eats the kale and giggles) Rosie: It’s a funny time of year, an exciting time of year though. Greg: I look forward to when you come back in the summer and we’ve got some stuff in the ground. With work we’re setting up a new medicinal garden so I’ve been learning about medicinal herbs. We’ll plant more of those in the wild side of the garden.

Murdock (Dwight Schultz) spinning the Wheel a few times (oddly, despite the first spin landing on the $750 next to Bankrupt, the very next shot shows his flipper on the $600 next to the other Bankrupt) and solving ALL'S FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR (Phrase) for $6,500 and a grand total of over $28,000. With the $6,500, Murdock buys a humidor with 50 cigars ($150), a solar-powered buffer and a year's.

It's been a weird year for everyone, and Saturday Night Live called attention to just how weird everything has been with a fortune teller predicting what would happen to a group of unsuspecting people in 2019. Saturday Night Live has definitely been one of the major entertainment avenues that had been impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but the ramifications of the year have been far wilder than anyone would have expected as Saturday Night Live pointed this out with a fortune telling sketch reflecting back on how much has happened over the year.

Nbc Wheel Of Fortune Episodes

The sketch sees Kate McKinnon playing a fortune teller for a group of people in 2019. Each of them is wondering what their lives will be like in the next year, and none of them are ready to find out just what happens in the following year as each of them learns about quarantine and other terrible things in the future.

For example, one of the people wonders what her life with her boyfriend will be like in the future. McKinnon's fortune teller informs her that she will indeed be living with her boyfriend, and while that makes the person happy, she soon finds out about the bad part of the equation when McKinnon's fortune teller informs her about the COVID-19 pandemic.

But rather than just say there's a pandemic, it's given the Saturday Night Live twist when McKinnon's fortune teller reveals that while the woman will indeed be living with her boyfriend, but they are washing a bag of Doritos profusely in the hopes of not catching the novel coronavirus. But this is only one of the hilarious reveals about the future.

One gets super topical with the mention of CNN commentator Jerry Toobin's scandal. It turns out that his 'daughter' is one of the people getting their fortune told, and McKinnon's fortune teller reveals that Toobin will be exposing himself on a Zoom call in the future. Taking a shot at not only the moment itself, but Toobin's private region in general, it was a quirky way to wrap the entire weird sketch.

rosie’s 2020 in a nutshell.

2020 has been a really tough and difficult year for us all and in july i decided to finally bite the bullet and start writing again to cure my boredom and to finally put my little creative bursts out there for someone to enjoy. it’s been hard, to say the least, balancing college, my mental health and physical health for that matter, family and home life and then tumblr. but quite frankly, i wouldn’t change it for the world, it’s one of the best decisions i’ve made - i’ve met so so so many great and wonderful people here and i couldnt ever thank them enough for these past five months. so here’s a little shoutout to people who hold a special place in my heart as well as a few of some of my favourite fics —

destiel december 2020 - doing this thing hosted by @jellydeans and @galaxycastiel

day 7 - peppermint (wc - 831)

“Alright. One peppermint hot chocolate for Dean, and one hot chocolate with extra whipped cream for Jack.”

Sam slid two mugs across the war room table, Eileen following close behind with another two mugs.

The newest member of the bunker family had been quick to add a newer, more festive feature to the kitchen: a hot chocolate bar.

There was a time when Dean would have written off any extra addition to the standard coffee or hot chocolate as a girl drink, but when Eileen first pressed a mug of her famous peppermint hot chocolate into his hands, he couldn’t refuse. And he hadn’t gone back.

He wrapped both hands around his mug, leaning over the breathe in the sweet smell. Eileen settled across from his, watching him with an expectant smile. Dean took a slow sip, making a show of closing his eyes and pursing his lips.

It was great. It always was. The warm chocolate, the sharp peppermint. And besides, even if it wasn’t, he didn’t think he would have the heart to tell Eileen.

He swallowed, opened his eyes to look at Eileen, considering her where she was leaned against his brother’s arm. Her smile grew into a full grin.

Dean gave her a thumbs up and took another long sip before setting his mug down. “The chocolate chips were a good choice,” he said, signing a couple words with careful hands.

She smiled and signed back, “Thank you.”

Eileen, Sam, and Cas had been teaching Dean sign language. He was a quick study, but he had yet to learn words like chocolate.

The front door creaked open, the clang of it cutting through the Christmas music playing over the speakers. Dean grinned when Cas peered over the landing. “Any luck at the gas station?”

Jack perked, whipped cream mustache curving up with his lip. “Did you get the marshmallows?”

“I wasn’t sure if you would refer the regular or the Christmas tree shaped ones, so I got both.”

The angel reached in one of the grocery bags and placed both bags of marshmallows on the table. Jack popped open the bag of the tree-shaped marshmallows and dumped them into his mug.

As Cas circled the table, Dean turned to him like a flower following the sun, the dumb grin still on his face. Leaning into the touch as Cas rested a warm hand on his shoulder, thumb idly tracing over the muscle.

“Hello, Dean.”

He swallowed. “Hey.”

This thing between them was still new, still something quiet and shy. They had finally told each other how they felt and traded a few chaste kisses, but Dean didn’t want this to be fast and furious like his other relationships. He wanted to be careful with Cas, with them. And Cas handled it with the careful uncertainty of someone who was doing it for the first time.

“How’s the hot chocolate?”

“It’s great,” Jack said, reaching for the can of whipped cream.

“Yeah, this may be just as good as her margaritas,” Dean said, realization donning on his face, and he turned to Eileen, “Do you think we could spike these?”

Eileen chuckled and shook her head, setting the mug down as she looked to Cas. “Everything is still in the kitchen if you want some.”

“I think I will.”

Cas paused to peer down at Dean’s mug, leaning over him. Dean took in his flushed cheeks, rosy from the cold, and fought the urge to press into his side, to seep the warmth from him.

Cas sniffed because well...he was Cas. “Is that peppermint?”

“Yeah, want a taste?”

Cas turned to consider him carefully, eyes tracking over his face. And then he bent down and kissed him. Dean hummed in surprised delight, but then Cas pressed in and Dean’s brain just. Shut down.

Because that was Cas’s tongue brushing over the seam of his lips, and Dean opened to him with a gasp. His grip on his mug tightened as Cas dipped in, conducting a soft exploration, slowly tearing Dean’s world apart, before drawing back.

Dean stared up at him with wide eyes, mouth hanging open.

He should say something. He knew he should say something. Because Cas was watching him with nervous eyes, shoulders growing tense.

Sam’s laughter cut through the air, startling Cas, but Dean couldn’t stop gaping up at him. “I think you broke him, Cas.”

The spell broke and Dean closed his mouth.

He swallowed. He opened his mouth again.

“What, uh, what was that?” he asked, his voice hoarse.

Cas frowned. “Isn’t that what that line implies? It’s been used in some popular media.”

Want a taste?

Dean wasn’t sure if he wanted to bang his head on the table or give himself a high five. Cas had thought he was using a dumb pick up line, and it worked.

“Uh, yep.” He nodded, his thoughts still stuttering to click together. “Yep, that’s what that means.”

Cas smiled, squeezing his shoulder, and Dean’s brain finally snapped back into action and zeroed in on Castiel. On pink lips and rough stubble and the tongue that was flicking out, and Dean knew that it was just a nervous tick, but now he knew and he needed—

And he became painfully aware of his brother and future sister-in-law and kid sitting at the table.

Jumping to his feet, Dean grabbed Cas’s hand and starting towards the door, only stopping to grab his mug.

“Where are you two going?” Sam called, far too smug.

“To get Cas some hot chocolate!”

But as soon as they got to the kitchen, Dean crowded Cas up against the wall, and the hot chocolate was long forgotten.
