The Harrington Pattern Part 12

Hey all, this story will wrap up today, so next week it will go back to just one chapter a day on Tuesdays and Thursdays and when Glitters wraps up, Sundays will go back to one a day as well.

A short chapter for the first of two, because this chapter got too long and needed to be cut down a tad and the next part fits better as a whole.

Eddie and Steve finally kiss and just giving Steve the loving crafting circle he needs.

TAG LIST IS CLOSED

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10 Part 11

****

Steve got to see where the cast ate their meals, where some of the cast stayed in large tents (for those that had traveled from out of state but couldn’t afford a hotel), he got to meet the people who sold the food to the tourists, and the people who cleaned up every night.

It was marvelous.

“So was the two events they were trying to schedule at the same time, the joust and your trick riding?” Steve asked after they left the cleaners.

Eddie grinned. “Close, the sword fighting and my trick riding. I told them that I would happily run over those bastards, but I didn’t think the horses would appreciate it.”

“I bet that got them to change their tune,” Steve said with a laugh.

“It sure did, sweetheart,” Eddie murmured.

Suddenly they found themselves utterly alone.

“Steve–” Eddie began, but Steve placed his fingers on his lips.

“Just wait,” he said softly. “There’s something I want to give you first.”

Eddie blinked at him. “You bought me a present?” he asked. Well technically he said, “Ym brut me apresemnt?” since Steve still had his fingers over his mouth.

Steve laughed and dug it out of his pocket. “It’s been on a little journey, one that nearly gave me a heart attack,” he murmured, “but Jeff was able to get it back to me in time.”

He handed the small pouch over to Eddie.

Eddie took it gingerly and rubbed it between his fingers as he looked at the small thing that Steve had made for him. But as small as the item itself was the giving of it, was massive.

“I remembered you telling me that your dice bag broke,” Steve mumbled, “and I really wanted to thank you for all your help this weekend. I don’t think I could of done it without you.”

Eddie looked up at Steve with glossy eyes. “It’s perfect, Stevie.”

“I plan on giving a bunch to Katie for her to sell while I make the bigger pieces,” Steve continued, “and Robin said that I should give the first one to you, because it’s special. And you deserve something really special, Eds. Because you’re special to me and I–”

Whatever else Steve was going to say got swallowed up by Eddie kissing him firmly on the lips.

He had just grabbed Steve by the face and locked their lips together.

Steve was stocked into stillness, but that didn’t last long as he pulled Eddie close to him and deepened the kiss.

Eddie let out a happy sigh as they parted for breath. “Wow, baby. You kiss like it might be your last.”

“Eh...” Steve said with a half shrug and a lopsided smile, “when you’ve faced more then one ends of the world, it very well could be.”

Eddie chuckled, pressing their heads together. “You’ve got me there, big boy.”

“Mhmm,” Steve said softly. “And I’ve got you here, too.” His arms tightened around Eddie’s waist, drawing them flush against each other.

Eddie swatted at him. “Sap.”

Steve kissed him again. “If I’m a sap, then you’re my tree.”

“That was corny even for you, honey,” he murmured, swatting at him at playfully.

Steve just laughed.

****

The end of the Renaissance Fair had come at last. There had been more then a few bumpy moments, but looking out at all the happy faces being lit up by fireworks, Steve was pleased with the results.

And next year was going to be even better, he had plans for helping the kids have quality costumes like Corroded Coffin boys had.

He might still have to do some altering instead of full on sewing all of the costumes, but he was really looking forward to it.

Katie had told him that he had several people offer her crazy money for the pouch he had accidentally dropped, so he promised her a dozen by the end of next week for her next Fair. In different sizes too.

Eddie had been the one to suggest that. Little coin purses, dice bags, and even handbag sized ones. Eddie was even going to help him find the right materials for it, ones that weren’t as expensive as the little dice bag Steve gave him.

Steve was really looking forward to it.

They hadn’t told the kids yet about their change in relationship. Not yet. They wanted to hold onto it for themselves a little longer.

Though, judging from the look that Will and Mike had sent him, Steve was pretty sure most of them had figured it out anyway.

So what started out with longing gazing into each others’ eyes, ended with holding hands under the cover of darkness as fireworks exploded overhead.

Steve had never been happier and he just knew more happiness was coming his way.

****

Steve was proven right when Claudia called him up the next morning.

“Good morning, Mrs. Henderson,” Steve murmured sleepily.

“I’m sorry, dear,” she said, “did I wake you?”

Steve looked blearily at the clock on the microwave. It was after ten in the morning.

“It’s fine,” he muttered, “I don’t usually sleep this late.”

“While that is certainly true,” Claudia agreed, “you also don’t normally spend three full days at a fair. Too much sun, too much fun, and too little sleep makes for a tired Steve. Don’t be so hard on yourself.”

Steve blushed. “Thanks, Mrs. Henderson. Was there something you needed?”

“Oh, yes!” she said brightly. “Are you free this afternoon, from around two to four?”

Steve looked over at his calendar and squinted. “Looks like it, unless the nuggets call for rides to wherever.”

Claudia chuckled. “I think they’re going to be just as tired as you and not want to go anywhere today.”

He laughed. “Yeah, probably.”

“So, me and couple of the other moms have a sewing circle every Sunday,” she explained. “And we were all wondering if you wanted to come and join us. We have punch and little treats and spend two hours working on whatever project we have going on while we fill each other in on what’s happening in our lives.”

“You gossip,” Steve accused, teasingly.

She giggled. “Gossip is such tawdry word.”

“Like your every day language wouldn’t make a sailor blush,” Steve said dryly.

“And how would you know that?” she asked, curiosity coloring her tone.

“Ma’am, your son has the worst language I’ve ever seen on a teenager,” Steve said, “and I’m damn sure he didn’t get it from his dad. Even when he was alive.”

Claudia’s giggle turned into a full on laugh. “All right, you’ve got me there, Steve. So you’ll come?”

“Yeah, I’ll be there.”

“Fantastic!” she cried. “We meet at Joyce’s this week.”

“This week?” Steve asked, already plotting what to bring as a treat and which project he wanted to start.

“Yes,” Claudia explained. “We rotate every week so that one person isn’t stuck hosting every time. And if you come often enough, we’ll have it your place once in a while, as well.”

Steve frowned appreciatively. “Sounds good. I’ll see you later then.”

Claudia squealed in excitement. “I can’t wait. We’re going to teach you how to use a sewing machine!”

That really piqued Steve’s interest. “Oh yeah?”

“It was Karen Wheeler’s idea,” she explained. “Karen doesn’t sew like the rest of us, but she does cross-stitch while we all chat. Apparently Mike was telling her about all the sewing you did for him and his friends and that it was all by hand.”

Steve nodded, forgetting she couldn’t see him. “Yeah, my parents thought sewing was for girls, so I learned by hand.”

“Make sure to bring some examples of your work,” she said. “I want to blow Olive Peterson’s mind. She’s of the same mind as your parents, even though what she does, the knitting, was originally only for men.”

“I have these pouches I’ve decided to make and sell,” Steve said with a grin, “so I can bring those to work on and bring some of the work I did for the kids to show off.”

“That’s brilliant!” Claudia said. “I see you later!”

Steve said goodbye and hung up.

This just might be the thing he needed.

****

Part 13

Don't quote me on the knitting originally being for men thing, it was something I learned when I read a 12 Dancing Princesses retelling years and years ago. The soldier in the story knitted to keep awake at night.

Some Things You Aught to Know (this also the index)

“At the end of it all, what’s left of you?”

The long reaching ramifications of an alien invasion… it all starts here. After the Kraang were defeated, the boys have taken a back step from their usual activities to heal. Which has been surprisingly easy due to sudden lack of activity from their rogue gallery. At least, until Donnie disappears.

Hi! Welcome to the side blog that hosts my comic, Residuum. This little brain baby of mine was conceived in a dream my subconscious cooked up one night and then refused to leave me in the morning! Yes, yes, very interesting, but why is that relevant? Well, my darling reader, dreams can get really, really fucked up. As suuuch, this comic gets kinda, okay a lot, fucked up (￣▽￣|||)

So, this handy dandy pinned post is both the content/trigger warnings and where to find parts. The warnings do contain some spoilers for future installments, so I’ve put them under the read more. I do stress again that this comic is fucked, but to those who don’t read the warnings:

Probably don't read this if you're squeamish. It will contain a lot of, uh. Gore. Seriously. I'm not kidding around here.

This comic will not contain anything sexual, consensual or not. Nothing implied, either. (I can’t believe I have to say this, but no incest, and yes, I am kink-shaming you.)

Directory | F.A.Q.

Parts

Parts that have gore or the more extreme tw's will be red. Parts with mild-ish tw's will be yellow. Censored versions of extreme gore will be blue.

Read it chronologically: [censored gore] [full gore] (only works on desktop as far as I am aware. also! part 17 isn't showing up in either of the links, and i don't know why...)

(Updates every other Sunday at 3:30 pm PST) Update Progress: 0%

Content/Trigger Warnings

Subject to change, I’ll tell y’all if they change when I update. They probably won’t change much, but the creative process is annoying :)

Feel free to message directly for any reason, be it clarification or something else

Desturbing Imagery, Trypophobia, Kidnapping, Manipulation, Guns, Gun Violence, Non-Consensual Drug Use, Ableism, Coercion of Minors, Solitary Confinement, Contractual Slavery, Blood & Gore, Implied Death/Actual Death, Major Character Death, Animal Death, Animal Experimentation, Dismemberment, Disembowelment, Non-Consensual Medical Procedures, Irreversible Alterations, Cannibalism, PTSD, Anatomically Correct Organs, Lobotomy, Imprisonment of Innocents, Medical Experimentation, Body Horror, Police Brutality, Corrupt Government Institutions, Xenophobia

Kinktober 2023

This year my kinktober will contain various themes as follows:

Shape of You Sunday - Centered around the beauty of body worship, each day will be focused primarily one a specific part of the body. (It is rather self-indulgent as they’re either things I am personally self-conscious about, or have a particular taste for.)

Monsterfuck Monday - I feel this one is rather self-explanatory, but kinktober is always an excellent time to let loose when it comes to these kinds of things. And I’ll take any excuse I can get to write them.

Troublemaker Tuesday - Who doesn’t love a touch of trouble in their week? This one is for all my bratty subs, hope you’re ready to learn the consequences of your actions.

Whispering Wednesday - Voice kink is that you? Idols have such pretty voices after all, how could we ever let them go to waste?

Thirst TRAP Thursday - Feeling trapped can hold a certain thrill, can it not? Just what kind of trap will you fall into though?

Fantasy Friday - Who says we can’t have a little fantasy with our filth? Let’s mix two of the very best things together.

Savor Saturday - All about taste and flavors! Each Saturday bringing a different “flavor” to our week. To fill every kind of craving.

“Miss me Darling?”

Yandere!Ace Trappola x Fem!Reader

TW- yandere tendencies, unhealthy obsession, noncon(implied), kidnapping, k!ll!ng, pregnancy

Key - D/N - Your Daughter’s Name, H/C - Hair Color, S/C - Skin color, R/N - Random Name, M/N - Your Mom’s Name, F/N - Father’s Name

Side Note: I do not consent to this behavior; it is unhealthy, traumatizing, immoral, and mental. I only write for enjoyment. I would never wish this unto someone else.

Prompt – It was a sunny August Afternoon, when a certain Trappola came to reclaim his family…

Sun Shining through the window, the smell of freshly baked bread & cupcakes fill up your nostrils and beautiful white marble kitchen. Your 9 year old daughter, d/n, came into the kitchen as she had smelled the goods baking all the way from her bedroom. “Hey mom, whatcha baking?” she says sitting on a stool. “Some bread and cupcakes” you respond in a calm tone “Ooo how come you don’t usually bake?” your daughter questions. “Well you remember the Franklins right?” you questioned your daughter in response to her question; “of course I remember them mom, we have been hanging out with them ever since we moved, it's a shame Nana Rita is in the hospital” your daughter answered. “Yes well, when I went to visit Nana, you were in school, and she said she missed the homemade cupcakes I brought when she and her family had that welcoming party for us; so I offer to bring some to her and she was quite happy, so I asked the hospital and now I’m here explaining it to you”.You explained to your daughter. “You always make people happy, I admire that in you mom and ALMOST everything about you, especially with…..you know ... .dad…” your daughter admitted. You had told your daughter why you two were constantly moving when she turned 7 because you knew she wouldn’t listen if you didn’t.

9 years ago…..

It was your second year at Night Raven College, you were 17 years old. You had a great life, a loving family, great friends, great school, stunning grades, and an amazing boyfriend. You had met your boyfriend, R/N, over the summer in a park that was only a 3 minute walk from your house.You ran into each other when you had been watching your little cousins. You left that park thinking he was really cute but you’d never see him again, but by fate you had met him again at a dinner at your house; turns out he was the son of your Dad, F/N’s, New Partner. It has been a love story ever since then.

It was perfect, dates every Friday, hanging out at lunch and free periods during the school day, and since your family approved and loved your relationship your families would have dinner together every Sunday. It was a dream…. until it wasn’t. Ace was your childhood best friend, you two always hung out, people sometimes thought you were a couple and when the two of you would deny the suspicion you got vibe that he wanted to be lying about that but you thought you were just reading into it too much, that your mind was messing with you. Once you started dating R/N though, everything changed.

You two rarely hung out, only talked once every 2 - 3 weeks on the phone, and you spent almost all of the school day either hanging out with your boyfriend or in class. It wasn’t like it was on purpose though you just got so caught up in everything around you, you weren’t able to clear your schedule for just him. You never payed much mind to the fact you didn't spend much time together and you thought he was doing just fine until one day you found out how he truly felt.

You were on your porch watching the clouds, waiting for your boyfriend to come pick you up since the two of you were going on a date, one you’ve been planning for weeks since it was your 1 year anniversary, you had a gift that you were so excited to give to him. ‘That’s weird he should have been here 10 minutes ago’ you thought to yourself. He was supposed to pick you up at 8 but now it’s 8:10, and if there was one thing you knew about your boyfriend is that he is never late no matter what. ‘Maybe he thought we were supposed to meet at 8:30 instead of 8:00’ you concluded hoping that would be the case. You decided to take a short walk around the corner, if you showed up while your gone he could call you or wait til you got back.

You quickly snap out of your thoughts when you heard two familiar voices, then a scream.

Your heart dropped to your stomach, you heard the voices of your boyfriend and best friend. You swore that it was them and then you heard your boyfriend scream, you dropped the bag and his present and ran towards the voices, screaming his name.

But you were too late, you had witnessed something you never thought you’d ever witness; the dead body of your boyfriend and your childhood best friend standing over his body covered in blood holding a machete. You stood there frozen in horror, you couldn’t scream, you couldn’t move, you didn't know what was going on inside your head. All that you knew was happening is that as you try to process the image of his dead body Ace begins approaching you. Right before Ace can get even an inch closer you ran, you ran faster than you ever had before, you were trying to get back to your house so you can get inside, lock the door and call the police. You couldn’t run to the police station because you didn’t remember the directions. Once you're at the porch you had been pretty sure you lost him, until you realized that you had dropped your bag earlier which had your keys inside the door locked because all your family had been out the house.

Black comes into your vision, he had knocked you out and thrown you over his shoulder.

Present Day…

You could remember everything clearly the night he kidnapped you to the day you made your escape, it was all crystal clear in your head. You remember the day you found out you were pregnant right after the day you got so close to giving up and accepting your fate. You realized you wouldn’t want that life for your child so you got out of there had your baby girl and raised her right. Here you are after moving over 10 times you had settled in your little apartment, you didn't think he'd find you. You just assumed that he had given up and searching for you and his obsession with you had just stopped.

The doorbell rang. “That must be Theodore, I’ll get it” You told your daughter, she nodded and went to sit on the couch. Theodore was Nana Rita’s oldest grandson, he was about 19. While in his first year of studying abroad he found out his grandmother was sick and immediately rushed home to help take care of her. While Nana Rita pestered him on going back and living his dream she finally let him help when he said he could go to college at any time but she could leave him any day so he didn't wanna waste a single moment with her. Theodore was probably one of the sweetest men you have ever met; not only did he help his Nana but he would also watch d/n while you were out.

“Hey Theo, I was ju-” You stopped, your eyes widened larger than a dinner plate. You let go of the knob standing there in awe, fear, dread, misery, anxiety and a million other feelings. Your mouth went dry, your vocal chords went stiff until you finally managed out “A-Ace” You asked in horror. “Hey Baby!! Did you miss me?” He says with that classic sadist smirk and the same earrings that were meant for your first love, the same ones you’re wearing now…

The Rules

Do not spam requests, asks or comments.

I reserve the right to reject any requests that make me uncomfortable.

Do not share any personal information on this account, that means don’t share your name, address or anything similar in a request or comment.

If you want to request something, or send in an ask, please offer details, such as pronouns, the setting, the year and basic info about your requested yan. (Eg; could you make a yan that hates their darling and only obsesses over them because they look like yan’s ex?)

I will not do smut, I can’t write smut and the most you’ll get is a suggestive tension.

If you send in a request, ask or make a comment, and it has triggering content, please label it with the symbol TW.

Do not send any asks, requests or make any comments that contain derogatory remarks towards a certain group. (In simple terms; no bigotry, which means prejudices towards a certain group.)

Do not rush me, but do motivate me. (which means I accept compliments, analysis of my works and comments of a similar manner)

That’s all for now, more might be added later, remember rules are subject to change. —————————————————-

[Fun Facts About Me]

I don’t like making grammatical errors, they are irritating and embarrassing (in my opinion). However, mistakes are part of life and I have to learn to how to move on. That said; if you do see some grammar mistakes please let me no and I’ll try to fix it. (Ugh, it’s embarrassing that I was born, and live in, Mississippi yet I make numerous grammatical errors. I’m so bad, most of the time, at English, it’s hilarious.)

I have a tendency to ramble, over explain and procrastinate. I can also appear quite pushy, this is probably because of some deep seated worry that I haven’t yet uncovered.

I love mysteries, they are my favorite genre and I especially love the femme fatale mysteries or mysteries with a female lead.(IE; Miss. Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, Murder She Wrote and there’s more but my mind is blank right now.)

I have a soft spot for cute fuzzy cats and I like taking photos of scenery that I believe to be beautiful.

Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite books, it was a childhood favorite and it still is to this day. (The animate movie and the book are my preferred versions of Alice In Wonderland.)

Hey Watcherinas!!! Do you enjoy watching Watcher content??? Do you enjoy posting and chatting about Watcher content online??? Would you be interested in rewatching an underrated Watcher show TOGETHER and posting about it as we go??? Then hoo boy, do I have the idea for you. Introducing...

SDNDND SUNDAYS

Every Sunday (starting Sunday, May 21st) we'll watch an episode of my personal favourite underrated Watcher series, 'Social Distancing and Dungeons and Dragons' and make some silly little posts and memes about the ep!

Why should we watch SDNDND?

Whether you're into DnD or not, SDNDND is an awesome, silly little series where Shane's storytelling really shines. As the Dungeon Master, Shane gets to guide the players (Ryan, Steven, and Katie) through a mystical fantasy world, and play a plethora of enigmatic characters who encounter the heroes along their journey. The party consists of Stephanos CoffeeBean (Steven Lim), a halfling cleric with a tragic past, a banging bod, and a heart of gold, Quezza (Katie Leblanc), a half-orc fighter with a super cool scar who's a total badass, and Steve (Ryan Bergara), a half-elf bard and little bastard (/pos). Throughout the series, the cast all grows into their characters, generating some genuinely emotional acting moments and hilarious shenanigans. If you enjoy the humour and storytelling of Puppet History, you might just love SDNDND.

Schedule

We're hoping to watch an episode of the show every Sunday. Each episode is roughly 25-35 minutes in length. The proposed schedule is as follows:

Sunday, May 21: EP 1: Social Distancing D&D • The Quarantine Games

Sunday, May 28: EP 2: How to Kill a Troll • The Quarantine Games

Sunday, June 4: EP 3: Ryan Serenades a Gnome • The Quarantine Games

Sunday, June 11: EP 4: Bergara Guitara Bird Battle • The Quarantine Games

Sunday, June 18: EP 5: Descent Into the Sewers • The Quarantine Games

Sunday, June 25: EP 6: Ryan Goes on a Murderous Rampage • The Quarantine Games

Sunday, July 2: EP 7: Deathbed Confessions • The Quarantine Games

Sunday, July 9: EP 8: Season Finale: Revenge of the Goblins • The Quarantine Games

If you're too busy to watch an episode on a scheduled day, it's no problem!!! Feel free to watch the episodes at your own times throughout the week as well, whatever works best for you!!! I personally will be posting some silly memes and things about each episode as we go, and would love for you all to join in (Almost treating it like a new Watcher release lol). This show is one of my favourites, and I really hope this can help some more people find it and get people talking about it again!!! Whether you play DnD or not, I'm sure you'll be able to enjoy this series!!! See you Sunday!!!

Well folks. I’m on my substitute teaching grind again this week! Scheduled each day up in hopes of getting some good writing done. I did on Monday! And then proceeded to finally start reading @ninemagicks Game/Set/Match yesterday and did that every bell so uhhhhhh. Today………..well ummmmm…..yeah today I worked on chapter graphics because I’m in big procrastination mode. I want to keep riding this wave of engagement (that sounds corporate gross) but I’m also very much in my head about delivering. I should probably channel this energy into writing the chapter since such pressure is Baz’s literal arc but uhhhhhhhh why do that when I could Simon avoid. I love being mentally well!

One might say I need to find my own bravado. (more under the cut)

lol the chapter title for 13 is bravado by lorde

youtube

ok anyway

“Work In Progress Wednesday” right? That means I can talk about the progress of every part of the process? Huh? Yeah? Are you gonna stop me? TRY! TRY TO STOP ME!

Aggression aside, let’s get into it.

As previously stated on Sunday, we find ourselves at intermission. But that’s just the theatrical way of slicing up the story. The fun thing about 24 chapters (I got rid of my originally planned intermission chapter because I didn’t want to write it anymore) is that math really loves the number 24. It’s scrumptious. Yummily divisible. Ergo, IKABIKAM also has/is/will be deliciously divided. Afterall, I do keep saying I’m cooking on it.

Now, to put @alexalexinii on blast (sorry for perceiving you), they wrote in the tags of a Chapter 12 reblog: #made me realise that this fic had proper arcs? And I grinned. I cackled. I rubbed my grubby little hands together at the top of my tower as I’ve been doing this whole time because oh ARCS???????? YOU WANT ARCS???????????? I’VE GOT ARCS LYING IN WAIT LIKE YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE. (I love overselling myself.)

Allow me to let you in on some of the building blocks thus far.

Chapters 1, 2, 3: a complicated reunion which is shaky but ultimately sets up

Chapters 4, 5, 6: developing the friendship which is a crucial foundation for

Chapters 7, 8, 9: the gay (Baz’s increasingly more external “hi i’m gay”, Simon’s internal “oh wait me too”) which then explodes into

Chapters 10, 11, 12: all that political parent stuff that’s been hinted at in passing which is BIG relevant and incredibly intertwined in this tangled up mess that leads into the work of….

You get it. They’re mini trilogies. Don’t ask me about dividing the chapters into groups of four because I didn’t have that in mind while writing. I like threes better. Always have. Absolute banger of a prime number.

If you for some reason want to read more about the structure, I write a little more about it in this wipsday from when I was procrastinating 9.

Now, @cutestkilla keeps telling me I’m at the downward slope now but honestly delivering on what I’ve set up scares the shit out of me WAY more than the grunt work. I’m uhhhhh yeah. This is why I’m chronically unable to finish projects but by GOD I will finish this one. I swear by it.

So here are three sentences. You get to guess from who and when.

Loving him comes as naturally as breathing. It’s intuitive when I’m not thinking. Or rather, when I’m not panicking.

If you want to follow along with all the songs I’m hyperfixating on as inspiration I’ve been sharing them over on the “shrogurt” instagram. There’s nothing I love more than talking way too much about this damn fic. Thanks for reading!

And thank you for the tags today: @nausikaaa @facewithoutheart @hushed-chorus @artsyunderstudy @prettygoododds @emeryhall

Now tagging: @brilla-brilla-estrellita @captain-aralias @dani-vc @ebbpettier @excalisbury @facewithoutheart @fatalfangirl @hagnoart @iamamythologicalcreature @ileadacharmedlife @imagineacoolusername @ivelovedhimthroughworse @j-nipper-95 @larkral @letraspal @martsonmars @messofthejess @moodandmist @mooncello @nightimedreamersworld @onepintobean @palimpsessed @raenestee @rimeswithpurple @theearlgreymage @theimpossibledemon @thewholelemon @valeffelees @whogaveyoupermission @youarenevertooold @you-remind-me-of-the-babe

Planetary Days & Hours

Each day and hour of our lives is ruled by different planets. If you study astrology, you already know every planet profoundly influences our lives from birth until death. Understanding the different planetary movements can help you find the best time for performing any ritual, scheduling a meeting, and everything in between.

Understanding the Planetary System

The planetary day begins with sunrise, is sectioned into 24 planetary hours, and ends at sunrise the following day. It sounds like a regular day; however, planetary hours are not divided into 60-minute intervals--in other words, some planetary hours are longer than others. Our days are divided into 2 sections: sunlight and moonlight. From sunrise to sunset is divided into 12 equal sections; sunset to sunrise is divided into another 12 sections.

This results in moonlight planetary hours being longer than sunlight. Rarely are the planetary hours precisely 60 minutes. The only exception is the spring & fall equinoxes.

This chart helps you better understand the order of the hours and how they move throughout the day. 7 influential planets rule the days and hours: the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn. Each day begins in the hour of their respective planet.

Sunday always starts in the hour of the Sun. Monday always starts in the hour of the Moon, etc.

From here, the hours move in a linear pattern.

Sun (1), to Venus (2), to Mercury (3), to Moon (4), to Saturn (5), to Jupiter (6), to Mars (7): Repeat.

Regardless of the day, the hours will always move in this order. You might be wondering /how/ the days start in their respective planetary hours if we maintain this order. We skip three planets between the last hour of moonlight and the first hour of sunlight.

On Sundays, we end in the Hour of Mars (the last hour), skip the Sun/Venus/Mercury, and start in the Hour of the Moon - beginning Monday. You can refer to the previous picture to get a better visual.

***I recommend Planetaro (for IOS) and Planetary Hours Calculator to better measure the planetary hour.

Understanding the Days & Hours

7 influential planets rule the days and hours: **The following correspondences apply to the planetary days and hours.

☉ SUN | Day & Hour of the Sun - Sunday

The sun encourages you to step out of your comfort zone and act confidently. It's all about living in the present moment and acting with intention. Under the influence of the Sun, you'll find it easier to approach authority figures and find more success in getting what you want (promotion, jobs, etc.). If you can, you should schedule essential meetings during the hour of the sun, especially if a decision needs to be made. You're encouraged to relax and go with the flow. Go outside and see where the wind takes you.

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Best for self-expression, exploring, creativity, socializing, career success, and advertising.

☾ MOON | Day & Hour of the Moon - Monday

The moon inspires you to connect physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It's all about turning inwards and aligning yourself with what matters most. The moon is best for connecting with family and being emotionally vulnerable. You'll find it easier to discuss emotionally charged topics during the hour of the moon. Similarly, people will be more receptive to your feelings. You should spend the hour of the moon with your family if you can. Under the influence of the Moon, you should reflect on your goals and emotional well-being. It's a great day to test your intuition, experiment with divination, write down your feelings, and organize your emotions.

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Best for emotions, family, and food.

♂ MARS | Day & Hour of Mars - Tuesday

Mars makes you want to move and assert yourself. You'll find yourself more motivated under Mars' self-assured energy. This is a great time to make decisions and lead by example. You're at your most motivated and physical confidence, although you might be a little too confrontative and irritable. It's crucial to strike under the influence of Mars. Still, you're making decisions, starting something new, or getting physically active--don't bite off more than you chew.

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Best for action, motivation boosts, and physical energies

- ☿ MERCURY | Day & Hour of Mercury - Wednesday

Mercury is all about communication and processing. It's the best time to communicate via all media, study and recall information, and send important documents/messages/etc. You'll find that you have more focus under the influence of Mercury. It encourages you to recall important information and convey that to others. Under the influence of Mercury, you should schedule exams, draft essential messages, and/or write down anything important to you. It's an excellent time for overall communication and understanding.

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Best for communicating, learning, and sending important messages.

- ♃ JUPITER | Day & Hour of Jupiter - Thursday

There is no lucky time than Jupiter's hour. You'll typically hear good news, see improvements, and see good luck during this time. Under Jupter's influence, things seem to go your way more often. Under the influence of Jupiter, you should manifest (wealth, relationship, career success, etc.) and invest in all aspects of your life. Jupiter doesn't just influence your material wealth, though. You'll see success in all aspects of life, including emotional/romantic/spiritual/etc. Jupiter is all about abundance and generosity. You should also consider donating during this time.

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Best for growth, good luck, fortune, and success.

- ♀ VENUS | Day & Hour of Venus - Friday

Everyone knows about the allure of Venus and the planet's influence. Venus encourages you to love by all definitions of the word. It's the best time for dates, romantic encounters, and (my favorite) self-love. Under the influence of Venus, you are encouraged to do self-care, self-beautification (hair, makeup, shopping, etc.), socialize (romantically and platonically), and overall de-stress, relax, and enjoy yourself to the fullest. It influences you to love life however that looks for you.

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Best for love, social occasions, mediating after a dispute, de-stressing, entertainment, and financial investments.

- ♄ SATURN | Day & Hour of Saturn - Saturday

Saturn is all about getting things done and setting things right. It's about finishing everything you've been putting off: projects, chores, finalizing plans, etc.--Saturn is there for it all. This is an hour of productivity at its finest. Under the influence of Saturn, you are encouraged to get work done and follow the flow. You have to take things one by one as they come. You are encouraged to start organizing your plans/agenda and tie up any loose ends before the hour ends.

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Best for responsibilities, getting organized, and rules.

planets in the 6H and how they influence your routine

the 6H in astrology represents healing- physically and mentally. a part of our mental health is dependent on our routine and structure in our day-to-day lives. we can look to the 6H and what’s in it to help determine the best type of routine we should be following to support us:

Sun in the 6H: routine is where you excel! Sun in the 6H people are usually very organized and tidy in their mind, and in turn in their routine. you might not realize that a lot of your self worth can rely on your ability to be productive. having an efficient, structured routine and greatly boost your confidence in yourself and give you a healthy amount of control. it’s easy for Sun in the 6H natives to get burned out in their routine, so finding one that doesn’t require any over-exertion but is still efficient for you is important. it’s also important not to be hard on yourself when you can’t keep up with it like when you’re sick or just some rest days; we are not made to be productive 24/7 :) you might do well with a monthly based routine, and a good day for you to be productive is Sunday.

Moon in the 6H: how easy your routine comes to you will be a little more dependent on what sign the Moon falls in. your natal Moon sign will be a huge part of it, but also what sign the Moon is traveling in. the Moon changes signs every 2-3 days, and knowing these changes and planning accordingly will help you tremendously in your routine. your mood is a direct effect of your productivity. for example, if you try to “go with the flow” and go through your day with no plans while the Moon is in Capricorn, you might notice your attitude will suffer because of it. this doesn’t mean you have to be go go go all the time, it just means you should be mindful of your routine and efficiency and remember that even checking one or two tasks a day can mean a lot. a good day for you to take care of things is Monday.

Mercury in the 6H: planning planning planning. i literally just imagine planners and sticky notes everywhere. you are extremely organized and love to know every little part of your day. you are the person who looks up the menu before you go to a restaurant so you know exactly what to expect and to maximize time efficiency in trying to pick out something to eat. any organized routine will be very beneficial for you, but it’s important for you to be mentally stimulated. if your mind goes by on these tasks unchallenged, you very well could become bored and then burned out from the mindlessness. it’s also important to note that any unexpected changes in your routine can cause nervousness or stress, so finding a healthy way to handle what life throws at you is important or your mental health can suffer. a good day for you to handle things is Wednesday.

Venus in the 6H: no matter what your preferred routine is, you do it beautifully! the best way for you to get through your day is to romanticize it with the prettiest planner filled with color coded notes and tabs and your best matching work out set. as long as you bring in an element of beauty to your schedule, you’re set. pleasure is a big element too; you’re not going to be happy performing tasks you don’t care about, so it’s important to set aside lots of time to take care of tasks you’re excited for. for example, make sure in between your bank run and your post office trip that you stop by your favorite coffee shop to get your favorite beverage. or when you go to the grocery store, make sure you pick up your favorite dessert or bottle of wine. adding little glances of pleasure throughout your day will greatly improve your experience. self care should also be a big priority for Venus in 6H natives. a good day to take care of things for you is Friday.

Mars in the 6H: this placement can make you extremely motivated when it comes to productivity. you are full of energy and love to get things done! when circumstances cause you to be less than efficient, it might manifest as frustration, anger, or stress in the mind or body. it will be important for you to learn a healthy way to deal with these frustrations as life gets in the way of plans, but also to remember you have more energy than most and can prioritize most of it onto your schedule. you might find that you are assertive and independent when it comes to your routine, and so other’s advice or insertion can anger you as well. just remember to stick to what works for you and you only. a good way for Mars in the 6H natives to work out energy is to make a competition with yourself. try to push yourself to get things done with a reward. this can make day to day stuff fun but also more efficient! a good day for you to push yourself is Tuesday.

Jupiter in the 6H: while a lot of other people might experience a lot of stress when it comes to their routines and to-do lists, you might rarely experience this because Jupiter in the 6H natives can take on a lot more than others. time management comes easy to you and it always seems like you get everything done with time to spare. this can actually lead to some procrastination because you always feel like you have more time, so noting this is important so as to avoid procrastinating important tasks. also, just because you can take on more than most doesn’t mean you should. you might become burned out earlier than others and though it may not manifest in the most obvious way, it can affect your health if you don’t take it seriously. that being said, take advantage of your great productiveness by helping others when you can and it will bring you good karma. Thursday is a good day for you to be productive.

Saturn in the 6H: being productive for you means mountains of errands and tasks that seem to run on forever. you might find stuff on your to-do list, even the fun stuff, is a chore and the absolutely last thing you want to do. life itself feels like a never ending routine that you can’t get out of. you might think everyone feels like this, but this is not true! lots of people find ways or naturally enjoy their trivial tasks and you can find a way too. the important thing is to recognize that a schedule is naturally very draining to you and hard for you to enjoy. rest days are going to be extremely important, and with that comes not being hard on yourself when you do rest. Saturn in the 6H natives are actually really productive but it’s because they feel like they need to be, and you don’t. you are allowed to rest and to do things the non-traditional way in order to find joy in it. Saturday is a good errand day for you.

Uranus in the 6H: in order for Uranus in the 6H natives to stay productive, you need constant variation in your day to day life. you need spontaneity from somewhere in your schedule or you will end up resenting the process. you might benefit from just putting aside a few hours of your day to do whatever you feel like doing that day, or planning for different things every day. i recommend following the days of the week according to astrology. each day of the week is ruled by a different planet and thus, you can follow the themes for that day so your doing something new every day. another thing to keep in mind is your routine is going to be different from everyone else’s. Uranus loves to go off the beaten path, and so you will be the most successful when you come up with your own specific, unique schedule that suits your needs the best. don’t try to copy others or do “what you’re supposed to do,” do what feels right to you

Neptune in the 6H: the hard truth is that is going to be a lot harder for you to stick to a routine than most others. you might find that you’re very go-with-the-flow in your day to day life, and don’t really plan anything. you go to work when you’re scheduled, eat when you get hungry, and just deal with things as they come. there’s nothing wrong with this, but it can be frustrating to some who want to maximize their efficiency or have more control over their lives. and then when you do start a schedule, it’s very hard for you to stick with it. the best way for Neptune in the 6H natives to stay productive is to tap into your determined placements and find something that motivates you long term. one suggestion is if your own life isn’t enough motivation to be productive, then do it for others. like Uranus in the 6H people, you might benefit from following the days of the week according to astrology. each day of the week is ruled by a different planet and so thus, you can follow the themes for that day so you always know what’s coming. whatever you find that interests and motivates, schedule around that and stick to it.

Pluto in the 6H: no one is more committed to the routine than you are. like Saturn, it becomes your entire life but unlike Saturn who dreads it, you maintain it with a sense of efficiency that most others will never reach. you have incredible focus that allows you to not waver from your responsibilities. the way you handle your day to day life inspires and motivates others, and they will likely try to follow your lead. it’s important for you to stick to this leader archetype, because following yourself is the best course of action for you. sticking to your schedule is a transformative experience and will give you a great surge of personal power. if you fail to stick with it, you might feel as if you’ve lost control over your whole life and it can quickly send you downhill. it’s going to be important for you to find a healthy balance of staying strong in your routine and going the extra mile, but also not letting it completely take over your life and give you bad habits. overall, Pluto in the 6H natives are extremely persistent and motivated and can go very far.

warnings | 18+ angst, Eddie drinks 2% milk and I stand by that fact

a/n | Wow! I have been so excited by people's response to chapter one! I was going to start a posting schedule of chapters coming out every Sunday but I'm just too stoked to get chapter two out so starting next week, expect new chapters every Sunday! Thank you all so much for reading :)

She’s been thinking about that box of Lucky Charms more than she’d like to admit. It’s been sitting on the kitchen counter all week. She refuses to open it, or even put it away. She’s found herself on more than one occasion, after having tucked Poppy in for the night, just staring at the box, picking it up, practically fondling it. Her eyes always rest on the phone number, though she has yet to work up the courage to actually call.

She’s worried if she does call Eddie, that she’ll end up sounding like a complete dope on the other end, she hasn’t exactly been in the dating pool the last three years. But then, she figures that’s presumptuous of her, to assume Eddie was even implying a date. He probably assumed she was married, or at least had a boyfriend, as most people in Hawkins did until they realized it was just her and Poppy, promptly disappearing from whatever was left of her social life. He probably just felt bad for her, a stressed out mom who could use a friend. Or maybe he was a pervert and actually was into the idea that she wasn’t single. Wherever her anxious mind wandered, it always concluded with her setting the box back on the counter, the phone on the wall remaining untouched.

She told herself that, regardless of Eddie’s intentions, she didn’t have time for the distraction anyways. Thanksgiving was long over, and she was in the final sprint of exams and term papers, while still covering afternoon shifts working the front desk of the local pediatrician’s office. The job itself was easy, it was the entering mothers’ endlessly judgemental appraisals of her that made it so brutal. But she endured it because it meant Poppy got free check-ups, an admittedly under-the-table perk she had worked out with the head doctor since he happened to be a friend of her Aunt Helen.

She knows that none of this, really, would work without her aunt’s help. It was Helen who took her in, coaxing her to move to Hawkins when everything fell apart around her. It was Helen who helped her pay for college, and was always offering to help her with rent, gas money, groceries, though she refused to take any more money than what had already been given to her. It was Helen, always waiting, up and ready at 7:15 to take Poppy off her hands so she could get to the Indiana University Campus in Kokomo in time for her 8:00 class. It was Helen who had found a daycare that ran until 5:00, dropping Poppy off when she herself went to work in the local bakery she owned. Sometimes, the weight of everything her aunt had done for her felt crushing. How could she ever repay her for all this?

She’d express these fears to her aunt, often, and the woman would crinkle her nose and flap her arm as if to wave off a bad funk, telling her that she’d repay her by staying in school and becoming a teacher, her dream job since she was little, showing Poppy what it meant to be a resilient woman. Helen herself was a bit of an oddball, never married and no children, but her bakery had been a mainstay of Hawkins for decades and so she was well-known and well-liked. Needless to say, she wanted to make her aunt proud, and she busted her ass to do so, which was exactly why a distraction like a pretty man with the nicest brown eyes she’d ever seen was precisely the thing she needed the least.

She was so close to graduation, done by the end of April with all her scrounged-together summer credits. And Poppy would be turning four in July, which meant that by next fall, she could be teaching just as her little girl started pre-school. This was the thought that buoyed her, and she held onto it, rolling it over like the sweetest lozenge when things turned sour. She was reminding herself of this hopeful, possible future, driving back to the apartment complex after picking her girl up from daycare. Poppy had come down with a little cold after all, the aftermath resulting in sweet sounding sniffles and a touch more angst than usual, but now looking in the rearview mirror, she was dozing off mildly. And then, there was a loud pop, and a pathetic sputtering as the car dipped over to the right side. She did her best to not curse, since Poppy had cleverly started picking up on her more colorful language, and puttered off onto the side of the road. She glanced back at her daughter, who had been jolted out of her sleep.

“It’s alright, pops. I gotta check the car.” Her daughter scrunched her face, “car mama?” She couldn’t help but smile at that, and nodded, “be right back, baby.”

When she got out, she found exactly what she had feared. The front right tire was completely flat, black rubber looking like it was melting into the grass on the side of the road. Luckily they weren’t in the middle of nowhere, just towards the outskirts of Hawkins proper and there was Benny’s diner right up the road.

“Could always be worse, I guess.” She muttered under her breath as she walked around to her daughter’s side, opening the door and bending in.

“Is it broken?” Poppy’s eyes were wide. “Yeah, baby, but it’s ok. We gotta call someone to help us. Can you come with mommy to go get help?” Her daughter scrunched up her face again, nodding very seriously. Under other circumstances, she would have laughed at her girl’s very mature expression.

After walking up the road to Benny’s with her girl perched on her hip, she slides into the phone booth in the back of the diner, finding Thatcher’s Tires in the phonebook. She had set Poppy down, and now her girl clings to her jean-clad legs, pressing her face into the side of her thigh.

“Thatcher Tire, this is Eddie speaking, how can I help you.” She tells the man that she needs a tow and he tells her he’ll be there in fifteen minutes. She only briefly considers that the man shares his name with her cereal box crush, but figures that Hawkins is a big enough town for there to be multiple Eddies around.

She is sorely mistaken about that assumption, and she realizes it the minute the tow truck pulls into view. She can see the halo of long, frizzy hair getting caught in the light of the sunset. She hikes her daughter further up on her hip, resting against the trunk of her car, her brain blaring the shit shit shit alarm on a constant loop. He pulls off the road in front of her car and when he gets out and sees who he’s helping tonight, those melty brown eyes flicker.

“Well, I didn’t realize I’d be towing the car of the prettiest ladies around. We meet again,” he’s grinning from ear to ear as they meet between the two cars. She’s blushing fiercely, feeling both mortified and giddy at seeing Eddie again.

“I didn’t – I mean I didn’t realize – I didn’t know you–” He cuts her off, crossing his arms over his chest and dipping his head to meet her bashful gaze.

“You didn’t know I was the new owner of Thatcher Tire?” She sighs, pressing her lips together and shaking her head.

“It’s alright, sweetheart. Been waiting for you to call, though. Got a gallon of two percent waiting and everything.” His smile goes crooked, clasping his hands behind his back and tilting his head to the side. If it’s even physically possible, she blushes harder.

“I-I’m sorry. I did think about it. Calling you. It’s just– I’m– it’s a really busy time and–” He holds up his hands, “hey don’t worry. I’m sorry too. I can come on a little strong without realizing it.” He’s rubbing the back of his neck. Meanwhile her nearly completed English degree seems to be rendered useless. Her mouth feels like it’s full of cotton. She wants to correct him, to tell him that it wasn’t too strong, that she’s the weirdo. But before she can say anything he’s bouncing into motion, clapping his hands together and eyeing her car.

“Why don’t we get you towed, huh? I can take care of that tire back at the shop real quick, get you on your way.” She smiles briefly, before blanching, remembering how there’s practically a moth making residency in her wallet right now. Her paycheck can’t come soon enough.

“Oh god, I didn’t even think about this– do you know about how much that’s gonna cost?”

He crinkles his brow, sucking his teeth, “well, I’m not gonna lie, sweetheart. My rates have recently gone up.” Her stomach starts to twist. “If you’ll agree to share a bowl of cereal with me, preferably Lucky Charms, well, I think that should just cover it.”

“Oh no, I couldn’t– “ He cuts her off, dramatically waving his arm, “I know, inflation, huh? But that’s the best I can do.” She laughs, actually laughs. It’s like something in her just breaks loose. Poppy is startled by it, preening her head out from her neck and resting her palm on her cheek like a tiny star, “mama?”

“Tell you what, if this little princess joins us for our cereal date, I’ll throw in an oil change. I know it’s a steep price, but I’m only an honest, hardworking man trying to make a living.” He draws both his hands to his heart, pouting his lip at her. She can’t believe this guy.

“Can I ask you something first?” He nods his head so hard she thinks it might bobble off. “Are you always this… on?” He snorts before squaring his shoulders, she thinks trying to look serious, “only around pretty women who make me nervous, ma’am.” The laugh she lets out at that is ugly, a high cackle, really, and Poppy joins in with a giggle, trying to figure out what’s going on between her mom and this man.

“Well… I have to say, you drive a hard bargain. But, I think we could make that work.” She’s playing along, and it feels good.

He holds his hand out for her with far too much drama, “pleasure doing business with you, sweetheart.” She shakes his hand with the arm not keeping Poppy on her hip, her girl still giggling from Eddie’s antics.

“Alright, we’ve been standing here long enough, let’s get you ladies towed.”

She’s starting to think this one might be worth the distraction.

Part 16

Carlos’ racing schedule and commitments picked up as Melbourne approached, him being distracted in calls but still putting the effort to be present. The remarks of ‘so many days to go’ and ‘can’t wait to see you’ picked up in frequency the closer you got to March. But with it also increased the anxiety. You were lucky you never really had to worry about it but the world affairs were bleeding into your mental resolve for the first time you could remember. You tried the push the news from your mind not allowing yourself to read the breaking story and choosing instead to remain ignorant to protect your own mental health. Was this a long term solution, no, but you just wanted to make it to March and you’ll worry about the virus that keeps coming up in conversation afterwards.

Carlos and you had planned on a call the week prior that you would fly into his hometown on the Thursday after work, then spend two days with you before a family Saturday night dinner introducing you to his parents where you and him were to stay the night and Sunday night, you and Carlos flying out Monday morning, you back to the UK and him to Melbourne.

The Wednesday before your weekend in Spain the mood was exceptionally uneasy across the office, many people opting to stay away from work with the news of this new respiratory illness making its way across Europe. Your work was encouraging people to only work in the office if required, with many already working a hybrid model to account for the cross timezone projects your team often were engaged with.

Your boss was hesitant to approve your leave to Spain with the news of everything picking up, it seeming worse than a regular flu that emerged every winter. You appeased them however, letting them know that you were bringing your laptop with you in case the worse was to happen and you had to stay a few extra days, you could always work from your hotel. You checked in with your team Wednesday morning but in seeing everyone was working from home you decided to pull a sick day to get your flight changed a day early to surprise Carlos.

You had expected changing your flight would have been difficult last minute but there were plenty of spare seats, people in the UK weary of the news coming out of Spain and Italy, with many apparently cancelling their trips. Arriving at the airport for your flight on Wednesday night you noticed how much everything had changed in a few short months; everyone was wearing face masks, some even with gloves. The nerves were heightened from the regular type you see at the terminal, people trying to keep their distance from each other. Maybe ignoring the news hadn’t been the best idea you told yourself as you stepped in to purchase a face mask and bottle of hand sanitiser before waiting at your gate.

Carlos had finalised your plans and schedule, you had messaged him saying you had the ok to travel, him sending through the itinerary he had meticulously prepared. you. You checked it one more time before boarding to see if he had made any last minute changes to the google doc and seeing it all the same, switched your phone to flight mode and tried to calm yourself for the flight.

You had timed your flight with him so that you wouldn’t miss your regular call with him. So when Carlos answered he wouldn’t expect or notice anything different until you showed him the surprise.

When Carlos’ phone rang on Wednesday night he was playing his dad in a game of chess. Normally the family rules of no phones during play was strictly enforced but as your name lit up the screen showing you were calling exactly at 7pm like normal , Carlos senior resigned that his son would be lost to him for the next hour, allowing him to look up potential moves to win the session.

“Hi Carlos, how was your day?” You tried to sound calm but you noticed the excitement seeping out in your voice.

“Hello, my day was good” Carlos started him launching into his activities as he walked out of the living room to the veranda. Carlos continued talking for a while him not allowing you to get a word in. You had intended on telling him straight out but Carlos was on a role, you decided to move the phone away from your face standing in front of the baggage carousel holding the phone out just wide enough so that your screen showed the “arrivals” sign in the background. You checked the time and waited to see how long it would take Carlos to notice you weren’t at home like you were meant to be.

He talked for another 6 minutes before he noticed, he was pacing around the backyard not focusing on the phone but where he was walking.

You saw his face scrunch slightly as you saw him take in where you were standing.

He had organised you to fly in Thursday after work, a reminder set on his phone to pick you up as soon as you had landed but he saw you standing at an arrivals today.

“YN is today Thursday? Did I miss your flight I thought I had set alarms?”

You laughed at this

“Nope, it’s Wednesday and guess who changed their flight to Wednesday?” You smiled the cheesiest grin when you saw the pieces click into place on Carlos’ face.

“Are you telling me you’re in Madrid, you’ve been here this entire call?”

Carlos was shocked but surprised in a good way

“I was going to but then I didn’t wasn’t to interrupt”

“YN come on you could be in my arms already, what terminal are you at I’m getting you now”

You replied with where you were sending him a pin of your location to help.

Carlos didn’t bother getting changed he swiped keys from the front door and called out to his parents he will be back soon, before driving much too fast to the airport.

The airport was quieter than Carlos expected it to be. Normally he’d have to queue to get into the pick up bays but there were only a few taxis and shuttle buses. Carlos like you had an uneasy feeling about what was happening and traffic is usually the sign something was amiss. Both he and his family had been checking the news everyday, with all of their career’s dependent upon travel they all wanted to know as much as they could, then finding information helped quell stress instead of induce it like the news did for you.

News coming in was influx with contradicting messages. It was safe to travel one day, the next it wasn’t, the next it was ok to travel as long as you hadn’t been in Asia. What was constant though was that in checking the restrictions and government guidance both of your plans were still allowed for now. So Carlos, entering the airport arrivals and seeing you with your suitcase confirmed it was safe enough for you to be here and that was all he cared about.

He pulled into the 15 minute bay, car still running, handbrake on, threw the door open and scooped you up in his arms. His hug was tight and lifted your feet a good foot off of the floor spinning you around quickly. You went to bend you head down to kiss him but he whispered to you.

“Not here” Letting you go and picking up your suitcase and hoisting it into the boot of his car.

When you were back on the road it was then Carlos unstoppered his excitement.

“You’re here early! Why didn’t you tell me!”

“Surprise” was all you said laughing at Carlos. He had surprised you and now you had returned the favour, seeing him that happy was worth it and you were glad you had changed his meticulous plans

“I haven’t called the hotel to change the booking but I was hoping that I could just stay with you tonight?” you said trying to sound casual.

“Of course YN plus with all the news going about I know I’d feel more comfortable with you in our home instead of in town”

“About that, I haven’t really read too much into things, how bad are they? I didn’t want to psyche myself out of the trip so I haven’t really caught up on everything” Caught up on anything you should have said.

Carlos knew travelling made you nervous, so he started at the beginning, the trip wasn’t too long back to his house and he tried to catch you up on the important details before he arrived home. The news Carlos conveyed across was not good, you maybe should have listened to your boss and seen the warning signs in his hesitancy when you brought up your trip, too late now, you were here.

Carlos lived outside the city centre, tucked away in what you would have called the suburbs, roads lined with leafy trees that looked like they had been there for decades , houses tucked behind greenery and the road front. The neighbourhood was starkly different to the built up area where your apartment was, it was closer in resemblance to suburbs back home but you couldn’t think of any of your childhood friends houses that had this much space between them and their neighbours.

“Welcome home” Carlos said quietly as he turned into a narrow driveway that was hidden behind an unkempt hedge with a large automatic wrought iron gate. As the gate pulled to the side, Carlos drove slowly up a dimly lit driveway, leading downhill. His family home was midway along a hillside, a sprawling and surprisingly modern home, a little out of place with the ancient overgrown trees and gardens. You weren’t expecting something so new and something so large, you understood that Carlos was well off but for some reason that hasn’t registered that his family was well off too. Carlos had stopped the car outside a closed garage and made to remove your bags, you standing up hesitantly taken aback by his home.

Carlos sensing your apprehension, tried to loosen one shoulder with a squeeze of his hand “It looks bigger than it is” with a wink led towards the wide wooden front door.

Carlos was a liar. What greeted you was large open space with walls made out of smooth polished concrete, walls laid out in subtle parque. You could hear noise coming from further inside the depths and Carlos let go of your bags by the front door and made to lift your handbag from your shoulder to leave it out if the way.

He took your hand and led the way. You knew that in surprising him it would mean a sooner than planned meeting his parents but the risk and anxiety attached with that did not outweigh how much you missed Carlos. So you swallowed, and took a deep breathe ready to put on a brave face in front of two people Carlos cared about deeply.

Carlos senior had seen pictures of you before. Carlos junior, when he had the chance had shown his dad the pictures of your trip away and any updates you sent through, so he was not surprised but the person standing by his son’s side. Carlos’ mother however did not know what to expect of his son’s source of happiness. She had been trying for months to get a morsel of information out of her husband and son but neither had slipped up.

**********

Carlos senior looked up from the chessboard at the sound of the pair of footsteps stopping. But instead of looking at his son and partner, directed his attention to his wife. Reyes took in a shallow breathe at the woman standing by her son’s side. She was stunning, in a way that was wholly complimentary to Carlos. Where he was calm and reserved this woman was confident and self-assured , strong in her posture conveying her attempt at standing up to this power play instead of hiding behind Carlos like his other girlfriends had. This woman unlike her son, had her emotions open to everyone, Reyes could see the love pouring out of her in the very way she was holding her son’s hand to the way that she had slightly angled in her body to him not straight on. These mannerisms reminded Reyes of a younger her when she had fallen in love with Carlos senior. In those days there weren’t many pictures of them together but she would have bet that if she someone had taken a picture when she first met her parent in-laws and compared it to the image in front of her they would have almost been identical.

Although this young lady in front of her reminded her of a younger self, she physically looked nothing like Carlos’ mother. Where Reyes and her daughters were angular with long lines and delicate features, the woman in Carlos’ arms was soft and supple hiding the strength Reyes had captured in your stance. Finally Reyes thought, someone who cares about who Carlos for who he is not who Carlos shows himself as. In the few short seconds that had passed, Reyes had decided regardless of what happened tonight, this woman was perfect for her son and she would do everything in her power to help Carlos hold onto her.

Carlos senior was not surprised by the intake of his wife’s breathe but the flicker of emotion that she had let slip was tucked away as quickly as it flashed across her stoic features, if he hadn’t been looking he would have missed it but the slip in her mask was all he needed to see. His role for the night would be supportive father, he didn’t need to be concerned or the convincing husband, his wife had already decided on her own.

As close as Carlos was with his father, he was his mother’s son. The two men may be spitting images of each other but Carlos junior and Reyes were one in the same. Both stubborn as they come but their stubbornness and conviction was very early misplaced.

Carlos senior stood up from his chess game, “You must be YN, welcome to Spain, we are very lucky to have you here with us” ending his greeting with a warm smile as he made his way to his wife placing an arm around her back. “I’m Carlos and this is my wife Reyes” Reyes moved her head to the side and broke into a smile that crinkled her eyes in the same way as her sons.

“Welcome to our home, Carlos show her around I’m sure she wants to freshen up before we talk some more”.

At his mother’s direction he started to lead you both back to the long corridor behind you before you had a chance to introduce yourself. Twisting back to Carlos’ parents you called back “Lovely to meet you!”

In a family full of travellers there was nothing worse than keeping the plane on you so there was an easy understanding when the young couple walked away from the older one.

Carlos guided you with his hand loosely against the small of your back pointing out along the way various rooms and their purposes before he stopped at the end of a passage hand hovering above the handle. You didn’t need Carlos to say that this was his room, the belongings inside told you what you needed to know. Everything was neatly laid out, bed made with a nondescript off white bed spread, helmets and trophies covering the shelves that were floor to ceiling along all the walls, bar the bay window that showed an amber lit patio.

All the things were Carlos’ but you got the distinct feeling that he didn’t use this room very much. Carlos had hovered by the door, waiting to follow you in to add commentary to your inspection of his childhood bedroom. He only stayed here when he had dinner at his parents’ house. Most of his time he stayed at his apartment in the town centre, with his work schedule so busy, when he was signed to McLaren he purchased a small home for himself to save on the commute time. That and all of his siblings had moved out with their partners, he didn’t want to be the sole focus of his parent’s attention, staying amongst his teen trophies that he was still their little boy and not an adult.

Your suspicions were confirmed with all awards and trophies dated prior to 2015. The pictures of Carlos smiling back to you was maybe 10 years younger than the one who stood at your back. Youthfulness evident with his toothy smiles and crinkled eyes on podiums and in the arms of his cousins and friends. The harshness of the world hadn’t touched him yet. The Carlos in the photos you had seen in your search had a clipped smile never touching his soul. You saw just how much your companion had changed over the years, and it sadden you how quickly he had to grow a tough exterior.

You had circled through the room before Carlos spoke up.

“I don’t stay here very often but when I do it’s as I left it” He wasn’t embarrassed by saying it, Carlos was proud of his upbringing, why would he be ashamed of his childhood even if it was a shell to what you would have experienced.

“Will you be staying here tonight?” You tenderly raised. As much as this room was nostalgia, staying in Carlos’ childhood bed at his parent’s house was not what you felt comfortable with.

Carlos saw the question you had hidden in the one you asked. “I will be yes, I’ve set up the guest room for you already”. Carlos in his anticipation had set up your room well ahead of time, his anxiety not letting his mind rest until he had done so the prior weekend.

He took your hand and directed you back the way you both had come, sliding open a glass door leading you out onto the patio towards a smooth path that mirrored the one at the houses entrance.

What you had thought was a backyard shed was actually a granny flat, and one much larger than you had initially sized up. It was more akin to a small townhouse, two stories with large worn stone bricks only broken by a few narrow windows. An old creeper plant of sorts had crawled up one of the walls with sparse leaves smattering the searching vines.

Carlos twisted a narrow door knob, lightly pushing the door open. Inside it was like stepping back in time, a worn paved floor stretched in front with a small wooden table covered in a transparent plastic cover with two chair pushed in the centre of the room, the left had an L shaped kitchen with a seventies narrow metal sink and sun worn scalloped lace curtains. The right of the room was a sitting area with dark brown fabric couches with laced doilies placed at the head rest area of each. The chairs were facing a stone fireplace with a narrow charred looking iron grate placed on the hearth.

“My parents bought the house when they were married this was where they lived until they built the main house. They lived here until I was born as there is only one bedroom they finally decided they needed more space.”

Carlos had fond memories of this small home, many a summer his grandparents had stayed here, memories tied to helping his grandmother cook with him standing on a chair by the sink, playing cards with his grandfather at the table , or trying to play toy cars with the grout patterns between the tiles on the floor.

“My grandparents used to stay here until recently but now we take them to their home after they visit as they aren’t as young as they used to be. They prefer the comfort.”

You could picture a little Carlos running around the place stirring up trouble , a cheeky boyish smile greeting anyone who could him red handed.

You hadn’t noticed that tucked behind the main door was a smaller sliding wooden door which housed a narrow winding iron staircase, a concrete trough and narrow worn wooden bench with rain boots tucked in pairs neatly beneath. Carlos had switched on a hanging lamp and started to make his way upstairs. Two rooms were up here , a bedroom and a bathroom with of which matched the theme of downstairs save a new looking bed and renovated bathroom. Not quite as the seventies as the main area but more 90s but still a pleasant reminder that although Carlos and his family were well off, much more than you at this point could comprehend, were still appreciative of where they had come from, knowing that it was through hard work and sacrifice the reason for their current comforts.

Carlos was nervous that you wouldn’t like staying here, if you had protested or he had picked up on discomfort he would have offered for you to stay at his apartment, but he hoped that you would stay here, forming new memories alongside to the backdrop of his cherished ones from when he was little.

Carlos sat next to where you had placed yourself on the bed, “Just wait until you see the sun rose over those hills, you’ll love it”. You agreed with him, already In love with how candid Carlos was, knowing that what he said would solidify the fairy tale.

Dinner was an easy affair, Carlos parents were very similar to your own, fiercely protective of their son proving to be a united front in assessing you. Their facade although welcoming and kind staying in place for the evening, never slipping regardless of how much charm Carlos and yourself plied on.

You made a note to try again on the morning to see if they liked you tomorrow knowing that gaining their approval meant more to Carlos than you. His parents not liking you would crush Carlos so for his sake you would try again. But also told yourself that with the charm you wouldn’t bend over backwards and change yourself for them. You would for Carlos to make him happy as he would for you but it was the two of you together, not you dating his parents.

Carlos could see you becoming disheartened as dinner progressed to coffee. You had graciously helped clean up and prepare the hot drinks trying to see if Carlos’ mother would soften. But the warm parents who greeted you were still tucked away. So you had quieted as the night went, teaming it with yawns and hazy eyes trying to get them to see that it was time to call it for the night at which Carlos finally caught on close to one in the morning . Carlos excused the two of you collecting your bags front the front door and carrying them out to where you were staying. He ran through only how to run the hot water system before a final kiss goodnight. You didn’t hesitate turning for a warm shower and the night, wishing sleep bring you better luck tomorrow with getting his parents approval.

Unlike what you had assumed that Carlos’ parents disliked you, what had actually happened was a poorly executed plan in protective parents farce. While the two of you were touring the Sainz home, Reyes and Carlos senior had discussed tactics of how to approach the new lady in their sons life.

Reyes saw herself so clearly in you and whispered to her husband to follow her lead for the night. Carlos senior though apprehensive, did as his wife said, switching from his warm personality to one of protective father. It hurt him seeing his son slowly get confused as the night progressed. Questioning where were the parents on all of the arranged dinner dates and who had they replaced them with. Carlos senior however saw that as his son grew disappointed , you did too but still kept trying. It was the determination Reyes had been trying to seek out, and with you preparing coffee had been a crucial piece of the puzzle. For Reyes it was about familial respect as well as love. Her son could live whoever he wanted but if they were rude and improper she would try to get Carlos to see and to sway her son from his decision.

As Reyes had hoped, you had offered to help, never stepping on her toes a check in Reyes box. Tomorrow would be the second part of the puzzle, if her son could respect their wishes for the night. It didn’t matter to Carlos senior where the two of you stayed, you were both adults and educated not to be rash, but Reyes had only a few rules, one of which no sex while staying with the parents. She hoped Carlos could remember when they had could his older sister with her now fiancée and the verbal telling off Blanca had received. If Carlos could remember that for tonight then she was happy for the two of you with her blessing, time would tell in the morning.

Reyes excused herself for the night as her son re-entered the living room, clicking the back door shut from the encroaching chill.

Carlos, still confused nodded to his mother good night before taking a seat next to his father. They sat in silence waiting until the sound of water through the pipes started from the front end of the house signalling that their conversation wouldn’t be interrupted.

“I’m going to say this only once” Carlos senior was not acknowledging his son but maintained his stare into the dark gardens, his voice soft as if aware that if his wife caught him he’d be in serious trouble.

“You have both mine and your mother’s approval , she is all we want for you. You look at her like I looked at your mother when we first met.”

Carlos felt himself exhale a breath he hadn’t been conscious of holding.

“Your mother loves you very much but you know how she can be, she’ll let in YN, be patient son , the hard part is done.”

Carlos went to interject but his father continued “Your mother knows that if she missteps she will lose you, she will not do so , history will not repeat”

His father was alluding to his parents relationship with his maternal grandmother and the pain of that lost relationship that happened when Reyes introduced Carlos senior all those years ago, the catalyst for them living in the countryside away from her family to show that her decision which Carlos senior was lifelong and serious

Carlos senior glanced at his son and saw the confusion still there, they hadn’t spoken about his grandmother before so he didn’t know the story but he picked up the pieces enough to know that even though his mother looked like she wasn’t making an effort, she was actually doing as much as she could.

Carlos junior didn’t know it but as his parents were tucked in for the night, his mother whispered to his father “He’s finally found his person.” Before turning over and dozing. Carlos senior couldn’t help but agree happy at last that his family was now whole.
