this abandoned, shy bunny hybrid loves hanging around the open field area of the recovery facility. one day, with the help of jungkook, another bunny hybrid, jiyu meets mingi. after days of mingi being too shy and running away from her, a bag of carrots and mint chocolate ice chip cream was all it took to seal the deal.

✧ notes: this epilogue actually focuses on jiyu a bit more and what’s going on behind the scenes (sort of) 😅

back。

“this phone call’s a week late, miss,” yuta’s teasing tone came from the other end. 

jiyu playfuly rolled her eyes. “be glad i even called,” she retorted. she could feel yuta’s small pout and see his drooped ears. “i’m kidding, it was a busy week since we get a lot of new hybrids in the facility during the winter every year. but thank you for bringing me the papers.”

yuta hummed in acknowledgement. “i will say, though. for someone who mistreated their hybrid, she put up a pretty good fight in trying to keep him for herself, even though she made no attempts to even look for him in the first place,” yuta remembered the rigourous process it took for him to force the woman to hand over mingi’s adoption documents. 

jiyu’s face hardened as she thought about yuta’s words. “it was probably leverage over him. she knew that he couldn’t actually leave her if she still had his papers, so she kept them as a way to have mingi still obey her. it’s quite disgusting.” a shiver—both from disgust and the chilly breeze that blew by—ran through her spine. 

jiyu sat on the couch of the penthouse terrace, looking out at the bright lights of seoul during the night. even though she was adorned in her puffer jacket, she still felt the wind biting at her skin. taking her eyes off the view of the city, she turned in to look at her four hybrids curled by the fireplace, their eyes glued to the tv. it warmed her heart seeing them relax without a care in the world. 

“your father doesn’t know, does he?” yuta carefully asked. he knew the topic of her father was a sore spot for her.

biting the inside of her cheek, anxiety began to creep up in her heart at the thought of her father finding out what she’s been up to. it wasn’t that he hated hybrids; but because her late mother was also formerly a hybrid caretaker before getting married, her father’s views on hybrids soured over the years. they reminded him of his wife. 

“no, he can find out when i come back,” jiyu firmly said. “has he...said anything about me?” she meekly added. the reason she asked: she never responded to her father about her choices in potential suitors, so she had a feeling her father was up to something behind her back. 

she heard yuta sigh, and her heart slightly dropped. “i wasn’t supposed to tell you, but your father grew impatient and chose someone for you. he had me visit them and everything.”

“...oh.” she pinched her nosebridge and her grip on her phone tightened. “who did he choose?” she asked. as much as she wanted to scream, protest, anything, she knew it’s be useless. her father’s words were final, no one could go against them, and it made her blood boil everytime he played her like a puppet for his own benefits. 

“kim, sunwoo...?” yuta said, hoping it’d ring a bell in her head. “he’s the son of one of our long-time business partners.”

jiyu remembered his file on the list. he was the heir to kim corportations. no doubt her father chose him since combining the shares of both hwang enterprises and kim corporations would indeed boost both companies. it’s a win-win situation. 

“hm, i see.” she also knew her father would call her soon to relay his decisions to her. 

the terrace door slid open and a half-asleep mingi waddled out. he rubbed his eyes with his fists. jiyu’s face immediately melted from a stone-cold expression into a smile. “i’ll call you back, yuta. thanks again for everything.”

“of course, miss,” yuta added before quickly hanging up before jiyu could give him an earful about the title again. 

“this kid...” jiyu mumbled under her breath with a wry smile before putting her phone down. she pat the seat next to her, telling mingi to sit down since he looked like he was about to fall asleep standing up. 

mingi gratefully took her offer and plopped down next to her. his head dropped onto her shoulder and he nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck. her scent relaxed him—the smell of her peach shampoo and body wash was way better than his previous owners smell of heavy, dizzying perfume. 

“what’s up, buddy? sleepy?” she chuckled as she ran her hand through his fading-red hair, ignoring the ticklish feeling of his bunny ears against her cheek. she noted his thin layer of clothes and frowned. reaching up, she turned on the heat lamp that was next to the couch. “you’re going to get sick, bubs.”

mingi hummed as he curled closer to jiyu. “it’s okay...i’m used to the cold,” he mumbled, his eyes fighting to stay open. 

jiyu’s heart ached when the words left his mouth. i wonder if anyone cared for him if he did get sick...i mean maybe yunho...but what about when yunho wasn’t there? 

before her thoughts could grow any deeper, the door slid open again, only this time, the other three came out carrying a heap of blankets and handwarmers. jiyu cocked her head in confusion. 

“what are you all—”

“blanket pile!” yunho laughed as he threw a blanket onto jiyu and mingi’s lap before sliding in next to mingi. seonghwa and hongjoong sat by jiyu’s side, and soon, the fivewere cuddled together on the couch covered by blankets to keep them warm along with the heating lamp. 

soft snores came from mingi, making them smile as they fondly looked at the bunny hybrid resting on jiyu. the fire and the lights from the inside bathed the terrace in a warm, orange color. jiyu contently sighed; everything was so peaceful and perfect, she hated for it to all change soon. 

seonghwa rested his cheek on top of her head, careful of hongjoong’s body slightly leaning on his. “everything okay?” he quietly asked. he had taken several glances at her when she was calling yuta, and he noted her emotionless, yet angered expressions. 

jiyu nodded. “don’t worry, everything’s okay,” she reassured, although she was trying to convince herself more than she was telling seonghwa and the others. “what movie did you guys watch?” she quietly asked as to not wake up the sleeping giant bunny. 

“yunho wanted to watch avengers so we watched the first one,” hongjoong replied, his tone growing languid and lazy the more he relaxed. “were you calling yuta?”

jiyu smiled before reaching past seonghwa to gently pet hongjoong’s head. “yeah, i never thanked him for helping us with mingi since the recovery center grew pretty busy this week.”

“he’s a black cat hybrid, right?” yunho curiously asked as he gently leaned onto mingi. “i’ve never seen one before, but i heard they were really elegant. and they were right!” he smiled. 

jiyu stifled a chuckle. yuta? elegant? that’s what he may seem like to strangers but he was the same man that trips over his own two feet when they were just walking. “elegant may not be the best word to describe yuta, but it fits during some ocassions,” she joked. “i remember once he bumped into a man carrying a stack of files and he let out the most ungracious yelp and his arms flailed everywhere when he fell.” she chuckled at the memory. 

they all chuckled, surprised of the cat’s clumsiness when he seemed all cool and mysterious to them when he visited to hand over mingi’s papers. “he sounds like mingi,” yunho chuckled. “he gets scared pretty easily and can let out some ungracious yelps, too.”

that i have to agree with. she thought with a smile when she remembered their first meetings.  

“now my only concern,” she suddenly said, catching their attention, “is how we’re going to get mingi inside.”

“can we honestly just sleep out here?” hongjoong asked, too comfy and relaxed to move. “it’s really comfy...”

“we’re all going to catch colds though, even though we’re drowing in blankets and the heat lamp is on,” jiyu reasoned. 

“we’ll keep you warm!” yunho added as he leand more onto mingi, causing him to press closer to jiyu. “sleeping out here won’t be that bad of an idea! it’s pretty warm, too.”

“hm...for once, i’m actually okay with this idea, too,” seonghwa mumbled, his eyes and ears drooping tiredly. “we’re all too comfy and sleepy to move...so sleeping out here doesn’t seem too bad...” he yawned as he nuzzled his face into the other side of her neck. 

"alright...but don’t blame me if you all get colds tomorrow,” she quietly laughed as the four hybrids drifted off to dreamland. she looked at their sleeping faces as if etching the scene into her memory. everything was perfect. 

“but nothing stays perfect for long...” she whispered under her breath. she knew that soon, everything would change once she had to return home. but until then, she swore to all the stars in the sky that she would make their time worth it; she swore that she would give them all the love that they deserve. 

now and forever. 

✧ notes (cont.): our lovely mingi is complete! i miss him so much but i hope he’s okay and doing well 🥺❤️ i’m really glad kq let him rest to take care of his mental health. mental (and physical) health should always be a priority!

next up on the list, yeosang!

Tokyo: Hogwarts AU

       (   lowkey  based  off  of  james  and  lily  potter’s  seventh  year;   elena  is  head  girl  and  damon  is  head  boy  )

            when  their  hogwarts  letters  arrive  over  the  summer,  it’s  not  a  surprise  to  see  one  of  the  salvatore  brothers   has  a  head  boy  badge  enclosed  in  the  envelope.  the  surprise  is  which  brother  –  DAMON,   the  slytherin,  the  troublemaker,  the  one  who  probably  spent  more  time  in  detention  the  year  previous  than  on  the  quidditch  pitch.  maybe  that’s  the  trade  off;   stefan’s  gryffindor’s  quidditch  captain,   and  damon’s  the  one  left  to  pursue  less  FUN  endeavors  in  their  final  school  year.    

          “  dumbledore’s  finally  lost  his  marbles. ”   he  remarks,  turning  the  badge  over  in  his  hands.  he  thinks  that  maybe  there’s  a  small  part  of  him  that  feels  pride  but  he  mostly  believes  it’s  an  error  –  that  he’ll  turn  up  on  the  first  day  and  someone  will  rip  it  from  his  robes  and  pin  it  on  its  rightful  owner.    the  letter  says  damon  though  …  and  as  far  as  he  knows,  mistakes  like  this  have  never  been  made.   

          “  or  maybe  he’s  trying  to  keep  you  so  busy,  brother,  you  don’t  have  time  to  make  everyone  else’s  lives  hell. ”  stefan  smirks,  shoves  his  shoulder  as  he  heads  to  the  door.  “  c’mon,  let’s  practice.  we  might  play  for  opposing  teams,  but  we’ve  both  got  to  be  at  the  top  of  our  games.  ”    it’s  been gryffindor  vs  slytherin  in  the  finals  the  last  three  years  …  all  of  which  slytherin  has  won.      damon  smirks,  calls  out  after  him.   “  speak  for  yourself.   i  could  fly  blindfolded  and  we’d  STILL  win.  ”   he  ducks  a  curse  that  flies  by  his  head,  spares  one  last  look  at  the  badge  before  heading  out  into  the  gardens.  he  doesn’t  give  much  thought  to  who  his  head  girl  will  be  until  they  arrive  at  kings  cross  station  weeks  later.   too  little,  too late.

* * *

      he  goes  with  stefan  to  the  prefect’s  compartment  on  the  train,  catching  a  few  strange  looks  that  are  sent  his  way.   his  head  boy  badge  is  hidden  with  a  charm,  will  be  activated  with a  flourish  as  soon  as  someone  —     he’s  broken  off  mid-thought  by  an  unimpressed  looking  elena  gilbert.   pinned  to  her  chest  is,  of  course,   a  head  girl  badge.    for  fuck’s  sakes. 

         it  isn’t  just  that  they  can’t  stand  each  other.   it  isn’t  that  she  used  to  date  his  brother,  or  that  he  once  knocked  her  brother  off  his  broom  with  his  beater’s  club  in  a  match  against  gryffindor.  it’s  a  combination  of  events  that  have  culminated  over  their  hogwarts  career.   he  couldn’t  say  what  it  was  –  though  if  he’s  honest,  he  thinks  some  of  it  is  unavoidable:   slytherin  vs  gryffindor  drama  –   but  there’s  easily  no  one  in  the  entire  castle  he  could  work  less  amicably  with  than  elena.   he  is,  for  lack  of  a  better  word,  fucked.  

    “  you’re  not  supposed  to  be  back  here,  damon.  ”   she  levels  him  with  a  hard  stare,  motioning  to  the  compartment.   “  prefects  and  heads  only.   you’ll  have  to  go  sit  with  your  friends. ”   her  nose  wrinkles.   it’s  no  secret  she  hates  his  housemates,  especially  the  few  he  hangs  around  with  on  the regular.  katherine  and  elena’s  hatred  for  each  other  is  legendary,  even  worse  after  she  found  out  stefan  had  ‘  accidentally  ’  been  tricked  into  dating  both  of  them.   damon  doesn’t  even  begin  to  try  to  understand  their  relationship.   for  twins,  the  two  couldn’t  be  any  different.   the  only  person  he’d  really  claim  as  a  friend  is  enzo,  or  maybe  alaric  …  but  he’s  a  ravenclaw  and  one  of  the  few  people  who  knows  about  damon’s  head  boy  status.    he’s  snickering  from  behind  elena,  his  girlfriend  jo  looking  like  the  cat  that  ate  the  canary.  for  a  hufflepuff,  she’s  surprisingly  devious.   it’s  not  surprising  that  ric’s  already  spilled  the  beans.

         “  oh,  my  bad.  did  i  forget  to  tell  you  –   stefan,  did  i  forget  to  tell  her  ?  ”   stefan,  to  his  credit,  refuses  to  engage.   shakes  his  head,  tells  him  he’s  not  getting  in  the  middle  of  this.    “  i  actually  am  welcome  here  because  ...  would  you  look  at  that.  ”   he  taps  his  wand  against  the  front  of  his  robes,  the  badge  now  full  on  display  for  all  to  see.    “  i’m  your  head  boy.  ”     

           silence  stretches  throughout  the  cabin.   for  a  minute,  damon  is  sure  the  angry  vein  on  elena’s  forehead  is  going  to  lose  its  fight  and  give  in.   instead  she  grounds  her  foot  into  the  floor,  forces  a  smile,  and  grabs  his  hand.   “  that’s  great.  hey,  we  should talk  about  our  duties.  ”   before  he  has  a  chance  to  say   a  word,  she’s  tugged  him  out  into  the  hallway  and  her  hands  smack against  his  chest.    “  tell  me  what  you  did,  salvatore.  tell  me  how  you  –  how  you  tricked  your  way  into  this.   did  you  bewitch  the  professors  ?   use  polyjuice  to  have  a  decent  person  advocate  for  you  ?  it  doesn’t  add  up.  there’s  no  way  anyone  with  half  a  brain  would  think  YOU  are  fit  to  lead  the  students  …  to  be  a  leader.  ”

             he’s  had  the  same  thoughts,  but  he  didn’t  need  to  hear  her  repeat  them.  his  features  cool  as  he  wrenches  back.   “  i’m  not  the  one  moaning  in  the  corridor  about  how  unpleasant  my  co-head  is.  ”   he  reminds  her.   “  be  careful  you  don’t  fall  off  that  pedestal  you’re  teetering  on.  ”     he  flashes  a  smile;   all  teeth,  fake,  before  heading  into  the  compartment.   

         they  don’t  say  another  word  to  each  other  the  entire  journey  back  to  school.   

* * *

    “  this  is  where  you’ll  be  staying.  ”   professor  dumbledore  guides  them  down  a  hallway  off  the  great  hall.   “  there’s  an  office  through  here.  you  can  use  it  for  paperwork,  or  for  meeting  with  your  prefects.    yes,  mr.  salvatore  ….  there  will  be  paperwork …  and  no,  you  can’t  leave  it  all  to  ms.  gilbert.  ”   he  looks  over  at  them  from  under  his  glasses,  having  foretold  the  comments  he  would  have  made  before  he  could  make  them.  it  was  eerie.     “  through  here  are  your  rooms.  ”

     “  our  rooms  ?  ”   it’s  elena  who  speaks  first,  but  they  say something  to  the  same  effect   at  the  same  time.   professor  dumbledore  smiles  knowingly,  pushes  the  door  open.   there’s  a  common  sitting  area  with  plush  couches  and  a  coffee  table.  there’s  a  set  of  exploding  snap  cards  on  top,  and  what  looks  like  a  chess  set  underneath.   there  are  two  doors  –  one  in  each  direction.   the  first  thing  damon  notices  is  the  lack  of  doorknobs.   “  they’ll  be  linked  to  your  magical  signatures.  ”   the  headmaster  explains.   “  to  your  wand,  and  only  your  wand.  ”   he  motions  for  elena  to  follow  him  first,  linking  her  magic  before  doing  the  same  with  the  other  for  him.    “  you  two  have  been  chosen  to  be  role-models  for  your  fellow  students.  i  suggest  you  take  some  time  and  reflect  on  that  responsibility  and  what  that  means  for  you.   the  feast  is  at  seven  …  do  try  and  be  on  time.  ”   then,  as  abruptly  as  he’d  collected  them  at  the  carriages,  he’s  gone  again.  it’s  just  them.

        “  you  heard  him.  ”   it’s  elena  that  speaks  up,  her  trunk  following  behind  her  by  magic as  it  walks  itself  into  her  room  and  she sits  on  one  of  the  couches.  “  this  is  serious,  damon.   you  might  not  care  about  anything  but  i  do.  i  won’t  have  you  ruining  this  for  me.  ”    she  pauses,  adds.  “  for  either  of  us.  ”    he  resists  the  urge  to  roll  his  eyes,  says  nothing  as  he  fetches  his  own  things.     

       he  never  plans  on  ruining  things,  that’s  the  problem.  it  simply  happens  anyway. 

* * *

         the  first  few  weeks  actually  go  smoothly.   no  one  ends  up  in  tears,  damon’s  actually  surprisingly  good  at  rounds  even  if  he  does  keep  partnering  up  people  that  hate  each  other  for  his  own  amusement,  and  if  he’d  do  his  paperwork  ?  maybe  elena  would  have  had  no  complaints  about  him.   it’s  with  a  stack  of  paperwork  in  hand  that  she  enters  their  common  room,  voice  yelping  in  surprise  when  not  only  is  he  there  but  he’s  not  alone.   caroline  forbes  springs  away  from  damon  like  she’s  been  burned,  calculating  eyes  narrowed  in  elena’s  direction.   “  seriously  ?  knock  much  ?  ”      she’s  too  stunned  to  even  comment  back,  just  watches  the  slytherin  walk  off.   she’s  friends  with  katherine  for  some  strange  reason  –  elena  thinks  anyone  who  decides  to  be  friends  with  katherine  has  some  serious  judgement  issues –  but  they’ve  never  really  had  much  interaction.   nor  has,  elena  realizes,  she  had  much  with  damon.   this  is  a  new  development.

         “ since  when  are  you  hooking  up  with  caroline  ?  ”    his  response  is  said  casually,  standing  up  and  fastening  his  belt.   his  shirt  is  open,  exposing  his  chest,  and  she  covers  her  face  with  her  hands.  at  some  point  when  she’d  come  in,  the  papers  had  slipped  from  her  hands  and  were  decorating  their  floor.    “  —  since  when  do  you  care ?  ”       she  starts.    “  i  don’t  care.  i  care  that  you’re  —  that  you’re  doing  that  in  our  shared  common  room.   my  friends  sit  on   that  couch.  your  friends  sit  on  that  couch  !  ”    he  smirks.    “  mine  do  a  lot  more  than  sit.  ”      her  nose  wrinkles,  a  pillow  thrown  in  his  direction  as  she  stalks  to  her  room.   “  just  do  your  bloody  paperwork,  salvatore.  it  isn’t  rocket  science.  ”

* * *

       it’s  halloween.   there’s  a  party  in  the  gryffindor  commons,  so  somehow  it’s  fallen  on  elena  and  damon  to  do  rounds  with  their  prefects  out  of  commission.  they  walk  in  relative  silence,  their  route  taking  them  out  by  the  lake.  it’s  a  beautiful  night,  made  only  less  so  by  the  company.   or  it  would  be  maybe,  but  damon  hasn’t  said  a  word  since  they  left  the  castle.  it’s  …  unnerving,  if  she’s  honest.  

      “  you’re  unusually  quiet.  ”   she  stops,  turning  towards  him.  she  thinks  he  looks  pale  in  the  moonlight;   young,  less  like  the  prat  who  is  usually  trying  to  get  under  her  skin.   when  he  doesn’t  reply,  only  cracks  a  half-smile,  she  actually  feels  …  worry.   it’s  new  and  she’s  not  sure  she  likes  it.   “  i’m  serious,  damon.  ”   her  eyes  soften,  a  hand  reaches  for  his  arm.   “  is  something  wrong  ?  ”     she  watches  his  eyes  dart  to  her  arm,  like  maybe he’s  debating  throwing  her  off.   he  doesn’t  though,  simply  sighs.   “  our  mother  loved  halloween.  ”   he  says  instead,  throwing  her  off.   “  stefan  doesn’t  really  remember.  maybe  he  blocked  it  out,  or  maybe  he  doesn’t  want  to  remember  …  but  it  was  her  favorite  holiday.  ”     he  shrugs.   “  she  died  when  i  was  11.   it’s  why  i  started  late.  ”   it’s  never  something  he’s  talked  about  –  that  she  knows  of.   everyone  knew  that  the  salvatores  started  school  together,  were  in  the  same  year  even  though  they  weren’t  twins.    she  hadn’t  known  why  …  not  until  now.    “  i  miss  her  more  on  halloween  than  i  do  on  her  birthday,  or  on  the  anniversary of  her  death.  ”    he  smiles,  she  thinks  he  might  even  have  tears  in  his  eyes.    “  it’s  stupid  …  and  i  don’t  know  why  i’m  saying  any  of  this  to  you.  ”

          she   knows  why   he  is.   she  knows  that  he  knows  that  she  understands  the  feeling.   her  parents  had  died  2  years  earlier;   a  car  crash,  of  all  things.   magic  hadn’t  been  enough  to  save  them  and  she’d  lost  them  both  in  one  fell  swoop.   there’s  a  club  for  dead  parents,  a  feeling  that  you  don’t  understand  until  you  experience  it  for  yourself,  and  her  heart  breaks  for  him  similarly  to  how  it  breaks  for  herself.  it  never  gets  easier.  it’s  a  wound  that  heals  and  reopens  on  a  near  constant   basis.    “  i  won’t  tell  anyone.  ”   she  says  instead.   her  hand  finds  his,  squeezes  once.   “  i  promise.  ”      their  eyes  meet  and  she  feels  …  well,  she  isn’t  sure  what  she  feels,  or  if  she  even  wants  to.   they  continue  their  rounds,  say  goodnight  when  they  get  back  to  their  common  room,  and  she  thinks  about  that  moment  by  the  lake  up  until  the  moment  sleep  finally  claims  her.

        they  fall  into  something  unfamiliar.   friendship,  or  something  like  it.   he  brings  her  breakfast,  she  finishes  his  paperwork  without  complaining.  they  become  symbiotic;  the  perfect  team.   she  actually  looks  forward  to  seeing  him  at  the  end  of  the  day,  of  sitting  with  him  by  the  fire  and  comparing  notes  on  their  days.   he  put  the  wrong  ingredient  in  his  potion  and  lost  12  house  points,  while  she  overslept  and  missed  breakfast  only  to  realize  when  she  got  to  her  class  that  she’d  grabbed  the  wrong  books.  they  laugh  until  their  sides  ache,  her  feet  in  his  lap  as  he  massages  them.   she  doesn’t  think  anything  of  it  until  she  meets  bonnie  for  their  study  date,  waves  goodbye  to  damon  as  he  passes  through  their  common  area  to  his  room.   

         when  the  door  clicks  shut,  bonnie  is  spinning  –  a  finger  pointed  straight  at  her.   “  what.  was.  that.  ”   her  best  friend  doesn’t  look  mad,  just  surprised.   “  am  i  losing  it  or  did  i  just  witness  you  and  damon  salvatore  having  a  moment  ?  ”    elena  rolls  her  eyes.   “  no,  no  moment.  geez,  bon.  this  isn’t  one  of  those  trashy  romance  novels  your  mom  reads.  ”   her  teeth  dig  into  her  lower  lip.     for  the  first  time  in  years,  she’s  lying  to  her  best  friend  …  but  he’s  also  lying  to  herself.    she  doesn’t  know  what’s  going  on  between  her  and  damon  but  she  knows  it’s  different.  maybe  he’s  different,  or  maybe  he’s  just  finally  let  her  see  the  good  parts  of  himself  that  he  usually tries  to hide.   “  we’re  friends.  ”          bonnie  isn’t  swayed.   “  friends  don’t  look  at  you  like  they  know  how  you  taste.  you  haven’t  –  ”     she  cuts  her  off.   “  god,  no.   he  used  to   have  a  thing  with  katherine.   we’re  –  it’s  not  like  that.  ”    it’s  not.   is  it?     they  go  back  to  studying  but  bonnie’s  words  haunt  her  well  into  the  night.  

* * *

         it’s  been  going  so  well,  so  it’s  no  surprise  things  take  a  turn  after  christmas  holidays.  damon  comes  back  from  break  and  elena  has  a  boyfriend.   some  guy  named  matt  donovan,  a  muggleborn  hufflepuff   he  thinks.   they  both  stayed  at  the  castle  over  the  break  and  somehow  decided  they  were  perfect  for  each  other.    he  hates  it.   he  especially  hates  seeing  matt  donovan  in  their  shared  common  room,  has  imagined  ripping  him  limb  from  limb  so  many times  he’s  even  checked  his  hands  to  make  sure  he  hasn’t  actually  done  it.   

             thankfully  quidditch  is  a  welcome  distraction,  something  he  throws  himself  into  leading  up  to  the  first  match  of  the  new  year;  slytherin  vs  hufflepuff.    he’s  at  the  top  of  his  game,  in  perfect  sync  with  enzo.   they’ve  always  been  in  tune  with  each  other,  the  best  set  of  beaters  hogwarts  has  seen  in  decades.   with  katherine  as  seeker  and  klaus  as  keeper  and captain  intimidating   everyone  into  submission,  their  team  has  shaped  into  something  even  more  formidable  than  in  year’s  past.   they’re  unstoppable  –  it’s  almost  unfair  to  let  hufflepuff  even  take  the field.    they  lose  280-10  and  that  10  was  a  pity  shot  klaus  ignored  when  cami  o’conner  sent  the  quaffle  hurling  his  way.   suffice  to  say,  damon’s  in  good  spirits  when  his  feet  hit  the  ground.   it  doesn’t  last  long  though  before  matt  donovan  is  on  him,  shoves  him  and  gets  up  in  his  face.  “  you  almost  killed  me,  you  dick.  ”     damon  stares,  has  no  idea  what  he’s  talking  about.   he  likes  to  think  he’d  remember  almost  killing  the  guy.   he  does  hate  him,  after  all.   “  you  look  fine  to  me.  ”   he  replies  instead,  pushing  the  boy  back  when  matt  advances.  it  turns  into  an  all  out  war,  the  teams  squabbling  with  each  other  until  madam  hooch  blows  the  whistle  and  separates  them.  

                                  “  ENOUGH.   DETENTION,  ALL  OF  YOU.  ”

        damon  doesn’t  bother  hitting  the  showers,  instead  going  straight  to  the  head  quarters  with  a  hand  pressed  to  his  jaw.   donovan  managed  to  get  at  least  two  square  punches  in;    one  along  his  jaw,  splitting  his  lip,  and  another  on  his  right  eye.   he’s  not  upset  about  it  though  …  he’s  pretty  sure  he  gave  the  boy  a  matching  set.   he’s  grinning  at  the  thought  as  he  walks  inside,  nearly  smacks  into  elena  on  her  way  out.  unsurprisingly,  she’s  livid.    “  are  you  out  of  your  mind  ?  ”    she’s  shouting,   eyes  wild  as  her  hands  come  up.    “  i  can’t  believe  you  started  a  fight  with  my  boyfriend.   especially  after  what  you  did.  ”       he’s  angry  now,  unable  to  believe  they’re  here  yet  again  with  her  assuming  he’s  done  the  worst  before  he’s  even  done  it.    “  i  didn’t  do  anything  to  matty  blue  eyes.  ”   he  snaps  back.   “  if  i  wanted  to  hurt  him,  he’d  be  in  the  hospital  wing.   bloody  hell,  elena.   what  kind  of  monster  do  you  think  i  am  ?   i  might  not  like  the  guy  but  i  wouldn’t  intentionally  hurt  him.   if  a  bludger  almost  hit  him,   it  was  an  accident.    but  i  can’t  say  i  regret  it  because  he’s  an  idiot.  maybe  getting  hit  in  the  head  will  shake  things  up  in  there  and  he’ll  be  a  smidgen  smarter  than  a  box  of  rocks.  ”    he  knows  he’s  gone  too  far,  sees  the  look  on  her  face  that  hasn’t  been  reserved  for  him  in  awhile.   “  you’re  such  a  dick.  ”   she  says  quietly,   voice  wavering.   “  i  don’t  know  why  i  thought  you  could  change.  ”  

* * *

       they  don’t  talk  for  three  weeks.  when  they  pass  each  other  in  the  halls,  they  pretend  the  other  doesn’t  exist.  if  you  ask  anyone,  it’s  almost  worse  than  the  fighting.  they  only  communicate  via  the  prefects  and  it’s  a  constant  headache.  currently  elena’s  finishing  up  some  paperwork  in  the  library,  avoiding  their  common  area  like  it’s  dragon  pox.   she’s  just  finishing  her  last  stack  when  a  group  of  students  pass  by  her  row,  sit  across  from  the  bookshelf  she’s  tucked  behind.  they  can’t  see  her  but  she  can  hear  them  clear  as  day.  it’s  matt  and  a  couple  of  his  friends  –  trip,  she  thinks,  and  maybe  gabe  ?  she’s  only  met  them  a  handful  of  times.    they’re  talking  about  plans  for  the  summer  —  trips  they  want  to take,  girls  they  want  to  date,  and  while  elena’s  not  trying  to  eavesdrop  she  does  perk  up  when  she  hears  her  name.   “  what  about  gilbert  ?   i  know  you  said  that  was  going  nowhere  with  salvatore  in  the  picture  but  — “     she  hears  matt  shh  him,  his  voice  dropping  into  a  whisper.    she  can’t  hear  what’s  being  said  but  she  has  a  feeling  she  knows.   matt  lied.   the  terrible  things  she  accused  damon  of  doing  –  of  being  –   were  all  a  set-up.     her  stomach  turns,  eyes  welling  up  with  tears.   god,  why  is  she  so  stupid  ?     damon  was  a  bad  guy,   did  bad  things,  but  he’d  been  better  and  she’d  completely  disregarded  that.    she  hadn’t  thought  anything   about  it  because  lately  he’d  been  up  to  his  old tricks:   mouthing  off  in  class,  living  out  of  the  detention  hall,  and  skiving  off  rounds  until  she  was  forced  to  yell  at  him  to  get  him  back  on  track.  she’d  just  assumed  it  was  damon  being  damon.   her  guilt  swallows  her  up  and  she  pales,  gathers  her  books  into  her  arms  and  flees.   

       she  breaks  up  with  matt  the  next  day.   she  doesn’t  tell  him  what  she  overheard,  just  says  that  she  doesn’t  feel  like  she’ll  ever  love  him  and  they  should  end  things  before  it  gets  too  serious.   he  says  he  understands  but  starts  calling  her  the  ice  queen  behind  her  back.   she  thinks  it’s  funny.   she  wishes  she  was  made  of  ice,  unattached  and  unaffected  by  her  surroundings.   she  thinks  it  would  be  easier  than  dealing  with  the  alternatives.   admitting  you’re  wrong  is  hard  …  made  even  harder  when  the  person  you  need  to  apologize  to  is  making  themselves  scarce.  

       it  takes  her  a  week  before  she’s  able  to  track  him  down.   he’s  up  on  the  astronomy  tower,  feet  dangling  over  the  edge  as  he  drinks  from  a  bottle  of  firewhiskey.   she  resists  the  urge  to  yell  at  him,  to  chastise  and  further  isolate  him  from  her.   instead  she  comes  to  stand  behind  him,  takes  the  bottle  and  sips  from  it.  she  coughs  as  it  burns,  her  throat  on  fire  as  she  tries  to  breathe  through  it.  he  seems  surprised  that  she  even  took  a  drink  which  emboldens  her.   he  underestimates  her.    “  i  came  to  apologize.  ”    she  says  it  slowly,  watches  as  he  moves  to  stand.  maybe  he  thinks  it’s  a  fake  out,  that  she’s  about  to  push  him  off  the  tower.  she  has  threatened  as  much  in  the  past.    “  for  what  i  said  before,  about  you  and  matt.  i  know  he  lied.  ”   she  swallows  hard.   “  it  wasn’t  your  fault.  it  was  mine.  ”    his  eyes  search  hers  and  she  can’t  do  it;   she’s  lost  her  nerve,  can’t  tell  him  WHY  matt  felt  the  need  to  lie.    she  can’t  tell  him  that  matt  figured  out  what  she’s  been  hiding  all  this  time,  that  he  knows  even  better  than  she  does  how  she  feels.   she  can’t.   she’s  not  ready.     “  i  just  thought  you  should  know.  ”       he  raises  a  brow,  catches  her  arm  when  she  turns  to  leave.   “  you  said  you  were  coming  to  apologize.  ”   he  reminds  her.    she  nods,  confused.   “  you  never  actually  said  you  were  sorry.  ”   he  points  out.   his  eyes  are  sparkling  and  lips  twitch  up  in  that  trademark  smirk  of  his.      that  damn  smirk.      “  you  know  what  i  meant.  ”   she  replies  with  a  roll  of  her  eyes,  steps  closer  to  him  and  tilts  her  head.   “  i  am  sorry.  ”     there’s  a  moment.   silence  stretches,  her  eyes  meet  his,  and  she  thinks  —  yes,  if  he  kisses  me  …  i’ll   kiss  him  back.     but  he  doesn’t.   he  smiles,  leans  in,   and  presses  a  kiss  against  her  cheek.   it  burns  long  after  he’s  left  the  astronomy  tower  in  his  wake.

         february  and  march  pass  without  excitement.  things  aren’t  quite  back  to  where  they  once  were,  but  there’s  a  change  between  them  —  an  electricity  that  never  existed  before.  for  damon,  he’s  always  been  cognizant  of  it;   a  pull  he’s  felt  towards  elena,  even  when  he  knew  he  shouldn’t.   but,  he’d  discounted  it  from   the  realm  of  possibility  given  their  histories  —  him,  with  katherine,  and  her  with  stefan.    the  more  time  they  spend  with  each  other,  the  more  they  gravitate  into  each  other’s  orbit,  the  less  problematic  it  seems.   they  fight;   they  squabble,  they  hardly  ever  agree,  and  she’s  constantly  curbing  his  worst  instincts  but  they  compliment  each  other.    he  tests  her,  brings  her  out  of  her  comfort  zone,  and  she  reels  him  back  in  when  he’s  about  to  go  off  the  rails.    they  weirdly  work,  which  is  why  he’s  been  so  hesitant  to  make  a  move.   somewhere  in  the  last  few  months  —  somehow  —   elena  gilbert  has  become  his  best  friend.   maybe  more  than,  if  he’s  being  honest.    but  if  they  cross  that  line,  if  they  try  and  they  fail  ?   all  that  goes  away.    he’s  selfish  in  that  he  needs  her  ...  can’t  decide  if  it’s  worth  the  risk.

               the  choice  is  made  for  him.   they’ve  got  people  over  in  the  common  area;   stefan  and  klaus  are  engaged  in  a  rousing  game  of  exploding  snap,  while  bonnie  alternates  between  making  out  with  enzo  and  braiding  caroline’s  hair.   no  one’s  seen  alaric  for  awhile  now  but  damon’s  pretty  sure  if  they  looked  out  in  the  hallway,  they’d  see  a  pair  of  prefects  wrapped  around  each  other  where  no  one  can  see  ...  unless  of  course  you’re  trying  to  leave.    his  suspicions  are  confirmed  when  he  tries  to  take  a  smoke  break,  rolls  his  eyes  and  returns  to  the  spot  next  to  elena.   she’s  drinking  firewhiskey  straight  from  the  bottle  —  an  improvement  from  that  first  time  where  she’d  nearly  spit  it  back  out.    he  smiles  to  himself,  leans  back  against  the  couch  as  her  head  settles  on  his  shoulder.   it’s  nice.   he  likes  it.    or  rather,  he  likes  her.    he’s  known  it  for  awhile,  but  knowing  and  putting  to  words  are  two  very  different  things.   as  her  hand  rests  on  his  knee,  he  knows  he’s  about  to  do  something  very  stupid.  thankfully  he’s  saved  by  the  returning  alaric,  who  holds  up  a  fresh bottle  of  firewhiskey  and  says  the  words  damon  will  never  forget:    “  who  wants  to  play  truth  or  dare  ?  ”

           nearly  everyone  says  yes,  so  they  all  find  their  way  to  the  floor  and  decide  to  spin  to  see  who  goes  first.  it  lands  on  bonnie  who  picks  truth,  and  they  find  out  that  her  first  crush  was  a  boy  named  kaleb  in  primary   school.   she  spins  and  it  lands  on  stefan,  who  picks  dare  and  is  forced  to  sit  in  klaus’  lap  until  one  of  them  cries  uncle.  given  their  combined  levels  of  stubbornness,  he  assumes  they’re  in  it  for  the  long  haul.   after  stefan,  caroline  is  dared  to  drink  until  she  can’t  anymore,  and  then  jo  confesses  her  secret  crush  on  professor  flitwick.     after  that,  it  finally  lands  on  damon.   he  has  a  choice  to  make,  so  he  makes  the  obvious  one.   “  dare.  ”     he  watches  how  jo’s  eyes  flit  from  alaric,  to  him,  and  then  over  to  elena.   he  knows  almost  instantly  that  this  is  going  to  end  poorly.   that  lines  will  be  crossed  ...  lines  that  can’t  be  uncrossed.    “ i  dare  you  to  kiss  someone  in  this  room.   on  the  lips,  no  cheating.  ”     she’s  given  him  an  out,  an  escape  ...  but  he  knows  he  won’t  take  it.    he  won’t  kiss  jo,  would  rather  swallow  razor blades  than  kiss  caroline  again,   and  bonnie  would  rip  his  lips  off  before  he  got  within  50  ft  of  her.   there’s  always  ric,  or  klaus,  but  neither  of  those  options  seem  appealing.    elena  seems  to  have  realized  it  too,  her  cheeks  turning  a  bright  shade  of  pink  as  she  straightens  up.   “  guys,  ”    she  drags  the  syllables  out.   “  c’mon  ...  how  old  are  we,  12  ?   give  him  another  one.  ”     he  cuts  her  off,  interjecting  with  a  shrug.   cavalier,  or  as  cavalier  as  he  can  be  when  his  heart  is  thudding  in  his  chest.   “  it’s  fine.  it’s  just  a  kiss,  right  ?  ”    elena  meets  his  gaze,  nods  her  head.  “ yeah.  ”   she  agrees.   “  just  a  kiss.  ”

         the  room  quiets  as  he  shifts,  brings  a  hand  up  to  curve  around  the  back  of  her  neck.   he  feels  his  cheeks  flushing  as  he  leans  in,  presses  his  lips  against  hers.   he  intends  for  it  to  be  soft;    slow,  even,  testing  the  waters,  but  what  he  plans  and  what  happens  are  two  very  different  things.   their  lips  touch  and  her  hand  comes  up  to  press  against  his  chest,  goosebumps  prickling  his  arms  as  he  shivers.   the  kiss  deepens  and  someone  shifts  closer  until  suddenly  she’s  half  in  his  lap,  a  leg  strewn  over  his  own  in  a  bid  to  get  closer.   he  thinks  he  hears  someone  whistling  but  it’s  impossible  to  think  of  anything  beyond  how  amazing  it  feels  to  kiss  her   ...  to  be  kissed  by  her.     when  they  pull  away,  neither  one  of  them  says  anything.   they  exchange  stolen  glances  out  of  the  corner  of  their  eyes,  don’t  talk  about  what  happened  even  after  all  of  their  friends  have  left.   it  should  be  weird  but  somehow  they  just  ...  fall  into  place.   he  carries  her  books  to  class,  she  snuggles  up  with  him  after  class  on  the  couch  and  falls  asleep  in  his  lap.     one  day  he  kisses  her  in  the  hallway  and  the  whole  school  collectively  loses  it.    they  go  from  friends,  to  lovers,  to  everything  in  the  span  of  a  few  weeks  without  missing  a  beat.   it  works  —  it  fits.

           on  the  last  day  of  school,  on  the  platform  where  they  first  met,  it’s  only  natural  that  damon  asks  her  to  spend  the  summer  with  him.   she  accepts  and  the  summer  bleeds  into  the  year,  and  then  another,  and  then  before  you  know  it  they’re  married  and  taking  their  kids  to  kings  cross  station  for  their  first  year  at  hogwarts.   

       the  years  pass  quickly  and  without  warning  but  through  it  all  ?    they  face  it  together  ...  as  a  team.     

             perhaps  albus  dumbledore  had  known  what  he  was  doing  all  along.

What ability would you have in the BSD universe?

(That one's hard~!)

Melodic Speed: The more I listen to music the faster and agile I get. Pretty simple, I like simple. It could get to the point that others are unable to see me because I'm that fast. (I combined two things I do most often, listening to music and being slow. Totally not inspired by Hamatora.)

If you could claim someone's ability in BSD, whose ability would you want?

(Don't say Chuuya's, don't say Chuuya's)

I'm really tempted by Edgar's ability. To trap people in books until they solve the mystery inside? I'd say dope! That would also make me write more as I have a few people I'd like to trap, just for fun~

What group/organization would you join?

Port Mafia for sure as I'm a villain at heart but still want to have a reliable and strong family around me. Also because I can wear a lot of black. But Mori can stay locked in his room.

Which BSD character do you identify with the most?

Honestly Ranpo. I do the exact same things that he does, laze around and eat baked goods. But that's only on the outside.

On the inside I identify with Chuuya a lot. Him hating betrayals is something that hits too close to home. Him wanting to protect Port Mafia that took him in after his previous group pushed him away. Him being loyal as heck not even knowing if he'll be able to stay forever or not. Like I said, hits too close to home.

Who are your top five favourite BSD characters?

(Surprise surprise)

Dazai: The very first time he appeared I took him for an asshole, which he kinda is. But then I quickly grew to like him as I was getting interested in his character on a deeper level. I like his two faced personality, he acts derpy and cute only to turn into a mischievous sadist that he truly is. The Dark Era also made me gain respect and much more love for him.

Chuuya: He introduced me to BSD when I first saw him in this MEP (bless and R.I.P MDS). So in 2016! I even remember watching BSD during Christmas Eve dinner under the table! Not gonna lie, his looks hooked me in. When I finally got him after so many episodes I was interested even more. He has some history with my boy Dazai? Show me, tell me! Until recently I've been thirsty for some more Chuuya and got it in the new season, I'm still gonna read the actual light novel though. But nonetheless, I'm satisfied. I actually hope BONES doesn't make him an another main character because I like him as he is. I like redhead hotheads like Chuuya or Taiga Kagami. Also, I was already a huge fan of GRANRODEO in 2016 so hearing Kishow was a blessing. All thanks to Kuroko no Basket. ♡

Oda: His precious heart made me love him! He just wanted to write, to take care of the kids. Each time I remember my heart cries a river. And each time something new comes to the BSD universe with him in it I love it but also can't take it.

MANGA SPOILERS

Tecchou: First of all, I really like the concept of Hunting Dogs. Second of all, this boy is precious. Justice fighter who respects people that want to protect others. The whole scene with the cafe owner moved my freaking heart, I kid you not. Unlike other members of the Hunting Dogs he doesn't want to bring down ADA just because they're supposed criminals but because it's his job to keep the country and it's people safe. And so he's doing it, no matter what he must do. I'm pretty sure that if he would find out the truth he'll try to stop his teammates and explain who's the real villain here. I hope it happens! His habits are also hilarious.

(Translation by Dazaiscans of course.)

Michizou: I don't know if I can count him as a "favorite" yet but I really liked what Asagiri-sensei and Harukawa-sensei did with him. The reveal is one of my favorite manga scenes ever! I'm looking forward to seeing more of him as I was dying to since I started watching BSD. I won't forgive him for hurting Gin though, that's one huge minus.

(Translation by Dazaiscans of course.)

Are there any authors that you'd want to bring into the BSD universe that hasn't arrived yet? Or do you have OCs?

Oh boy, here we go!

I do have one author that I think would fit very well. He's a polish poet from a romanticism era (my fave) that wrote poems, epics, ballads. His name is Adam Mickiewicz ladies and gents. Why do I think he would fit? Well, he was born in Poland that didn't actually exist and people were fighting for its freedom. So fight was already in his blood which he later on proved by becoming a commander in a battle. He was in a lot of conspiracy groups. And because of that I feel like fitting in BSD is just a matter of what kind of organization is he going to be in. He even had contact and made friends with Russian Decemberists, made enemies with Pushkin (who already is in BSD). If Adam would be in BSD I believe he'd have contact with the Rats before they fled to Japan. And because of his conspiracy origins I say he spied on the Rats from within. As for his ability I believe it would be some fighting type one as real life Adam took part in battles. I wanted to give him an ability that has something to do with his play "Dziady" but I haven't really decided yet.

Favourite Scene(s)?

Favourite Quotes from the Authors/Characters?

(Thank Gods there's bsd-bibliophile~ Great help!)

Mine has been a life of much shame.

- Dazai Osamu, No Longer Human

To love someone is to put your life on the line. I don't take it lightly.

- Dazai Osamu, "Female" from Self Portraits

Bad people are to be found everywhere, but even among the worst there may be something good.

- Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Фёдор Достоевский), The House of the Dead

It is better to be unhappy and know the worst, than to be happy in a fool's paradise.

- Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Фёдор Достоевский), The Idiot

A fool with a heart and no sense is just as unhappy as a fool with sense and no heart.

- Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Фёдор Достоевский), The Idiot

(I'm currently reading Dostoyevsky in my literature class sooo)

Life is worth living as long as there's a laugh in it.

- L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

Because when you are imagining, you might as well imagine something worth while.

- L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

People laugh at me because I use big words. But if you have big ideas, you have to use big words to express them, haven't you?

- L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

(One of my favorite books ever)

That threw me for a loop...is that my ringtone?

- Edgar Allan Poe getting scared by his ringtone, Chapter 55

(I had to)

Certainly, people are sinfully stupid. But what's so wrong about that?

- Dazai Osamu, Chapter 46

(Can I wait till Friday for that? I'll try)

Who would you want to bring to life to be your best friend? Waifu/Husbando?

There are a lot but I'm gonna go classic and say Chuuya. I'd love to make fun of him for being shorter than me and watch him go berserk. Like I said, I'm a villain at heart. I love him tons though! Dazai is also a pick as he's already very similar to my best friend. I have weird friends.

How has Bungou Stray Dogs changed you as a person? Did you learn anything from it?

I learned that I strive to write as good as Asagiri-sensei because his writing is amazing in my opinion. BSD also introduced me to a ton of Japanese authors as it's the case with most of its watchers. And even though I don't have a lot of time to read their books now (school and grade chasing as I only have 3 weeks to improve them), I'm going to read EVERYTHING I CAN during summer vacations. Good luck to me~

Richard’s been a very busy dude this last month or so.  Since the end of October my ‘good’ knee has steadily become worse than my ‘bad’ one (the one scheduled for surgery on Jan. 18).  So I’ve mostly been lying on couch or bed due to pain AND just trying to save wear and tear on them as they are both now ‘bone on bone’.  Meanwhile poor Richard has to pick up all the extra chores I can no longer manage as I’m mostly on my walker (kept, thank goodness, since my back surgeries). So he’s doing ALL the barn chores, PLUS milking Cammie and running up and down the basement stairs attending the furnace fires, and even some meal prep -with shouted instructions from the adjoining bedroom, of course!

Yes, I know some of you do not have snow, but we had our first big snow storm at the end of October and have had several more storms since then – and big winds as well!  So, there’s a lot to do outside as well as in! Richard IS very much enjoying his new ‘toy’, though:

He decided his hip couldn’t handle pushing our snow blower up and down the laneway again this year.  Personally, I’ve always thought that in winter our entire laneway and parking lot/barnyard doesn’t need to be plowed, – we could just park near the front of the house and leave the rest –   but R. still is a bit of a  suburban Yuppie in some of his thinking. He feels ALL areas should be cleared – and by cleared I mean RIGHT to the pavement (which of course only causes more potential for dangerous falls on ice in my opinion, but we have this argument several times every year and I never win).  Thus, we got the attachment to the John Deere this year and his brother once again came to the rescue with help in this big endeavor:

I can’t seem to get Richard to protect his head (and mustache) properly though, and he always comes in with icicles hanging from his eyebrows and upper lip.  I looked at getting him a plastic ‘tent’ for around the top of the mower as a Christmas gift but a) they are pretty expensive considering how much we already spent on this contraption, b) we try not to BUY gifts for our family, just make them and c)  you all know how I feel about adding ANY plastic – even a piece of Saran Wrap – to my carbon footprint, so I didn’t feel that was a good choice.  Of all the hats and toques Richard’s been given over the years JUST since moving here, including  a balaclava which would help the stache-icicle problem, and including the red one with the pom-pom which his mother bought specially for all of us to MATCH, in Christmas 2016 and which he REFUSES to wear…

(The last hat is from the CBC show Still Standing – one of the producers gave it to me for doing some admin. for them getting the still photos they used, and getting waivers signed,  etc. and I passed it on to Richard last Christmas as it’s a lovely green!  If you still haven’t seen the episode in which we/New Denmark appear, the link is here:

…the one he seems to now be preferring is one that isn’t MEANT to be his!  His brother gave him a slightly used winter coat for ‘good’ and inside the sleeve was tucked his BROTHER’S favourite toque.  Which Richard has now taken a Finders Keepers motto about and decided it was MEANT to be his own!

We thought it would be nice if we gave our old snowblower to neighbour Pierrette and her son Zeb who have helped us out so much since moving here, and who live like hermits WAY back off a tertiary road in the middle of the woods. So hubby just went past my window again making sure everything is working properly before we turn it over to  them. And yes, that IS his brother’s toque covering most of his noggin. Again. Plus he’s wearing the big black parka Mom gave him last year to  – ‘cover what little bum you have whilst snow-blowing!’

Another snow-job is to get food out to Chevy who, until he leaves to go to his wonderful new owner Dec. 13, has been allowed to have his summer pasture area still open to him.  When the snows get heavier this isn’t possible as they cover the electric fence, but for now he’s usually found WAY up at the top of the hill, and Richard likes to feed both him and Cammie up there sometimes as it keeps the stall and corral area cleaner.  So, out comes the toboggan and away goes the food:

Sometimes, though, when R. thinks he’ll have the luxury of dragging back an EMPTY toboggan, others have a different idea!

In the meantime I haven’t been out of the house in a month.  One month yesterday, to be exact (more on that in a moment).  I am most comfortable in bed, as it has the best view, is supportive in the right places, allows my legs to spread out away from each other so the knees don’t touch,  and has enough space to spread my various projects out around me. The couch offers none of these, but once in a while I go into the living room for a change of scenery and to have a fire in the fireplace.  If my poor over-worked hubby (don’t feel too sorry for him, he’s spending MOST of his days cuddled up reading or napping!) is willing to make us a cozy fire, that is, since I can’t go fetch in wood myself or even stoop down!  I am primarily involved in writing a stage musical, one that’s been hatching slowly on the back burner (talk about mixing metaphors!) for some years now.  And I needed to do some research first, so since I can’t go to the library these days (getting in and out of the house is painful, and even more so is getting in and out of the vehicles!) one of the things I LOVE about the province of N.B. is that you can mail-order your books!  A big black pouch arrives in your mailbox, and you just put the return label on and send them back when you’re ready – for FREE! So, without giving too much away about my musical, you can get a glimmer of some of the subject content from these:  (I know any cousins or extended family will know where I’m likely going with this subject matter…) :

The next problem I faced, however, was that while most of the script (‘BOOK’, in correct musical theatre lingo ) and the lyrics to more than 20 songs have been written in the last month I could NOT sit at the piano to compose.  Sitting with my legs bent, as an upright piano necessitates is painful. So I asked for a melodica for Christmas and my mother very kindly arranged to get it here well in advance and allow me to have it right away. So, most of my days are spent like this:

Which the cat just HATES because a) until the last 30 days,  he’s used to having the bed uninterrupted all day long with plenty of room to spread out and b) neither he nor Smitty can STAND the sound of the melodica. Smitty comes up to the bed and whines, and the cat tends to run down to the basement yowling in anger.  I also am having hot flashes again (thought I was done with those a year ago, so I can only guess it’s thanks to complete lack of exercise now) and I frequently have to throw the blankets off my legs- which in and of itself is cause for a hefty scowl:

As many of you will know, especially if you follow my FB pages, I come from a shortish line of theatrical as well as musical and literary personages. “Song’n’Dance” men as well as women! And by that I mean we can tell a good fictional tale as WELL as literally treading the boards. Grandma Johnson wrote many novel manuscripts which were never published because she only tried once, was told she needed more ‘boudoir’ scenes and never approached another publisher… I have a trunk still full of most of these manuscripts which I always promised her I would try to do something with one day – not that SHE cared, it was wholly my own idea to not let those years of writing be completely wasted (possibly, because I feel like all my own years of writing are being wasted in the same way!) “Like Grandmother, Like Granddaughter” in more ways than one, then.  This first pic was Grandma J (Ivanel) circa early 1930s, and the bottom, from one of my newspaper clippings, is me in similar pose (although you can’t see the red blinking lights on my nipples —- I was playing one of the prostitutes in “No Sex, Please – We’re British”. Which really should have been Grandma’s motto considering the reason she stopped approaching publishers! )

Since writing, music and drama have all been such an important part of my life (and in fact my degree was a combination of all 3, as Queen’s allowed for an Artist in Community Education B.Ed. if you had experience in at least 3 facets of artistic life and a previous degree in 2 of them!  Eek! ) I decided to also base my musical on an important-to-Canada family who have all 3 as an integral part of ITS life.  And who also, as I do daily, fought to keep the environment protected.  (AND who, incidentally, have several towns of Perth cropping up in their various lives, as I have had 4 of them be important to me!  There’s a LOT of Perths out there! )  I didn’t think this musical would ever actually get written until, on October 26th Assistant Perth-Andover Choir Director Sandi Tattersall and I did a ‘ditty’ (“What Baking Can Do” from the musical Waitress by Sarah Bareilles)  for a charity show:

At one point I was to go behind Sandi as she sang a lovely and upbeat solo verse (she’s got an amazing voice and has had proper singing lessons for years, so it would have been MORE fitting if I’d just stayed behind her through the whole thing!)  and duck from one side to the other of her.  As my ‘good’ knee had already gone fairly ‘bad’ at this point, this ducking/deeking was pretty much the end of it. CR-A-A-CK !

I tried one time after that (on Oct. 30) to make it to the choir rehearsals for our Christmas concerts and knew I wasn’t going to be able to keep going.  Richard, incidentally, IS still going and they had a very successful first concert  on Thursday night with a few more to go.  I missed the concert season in the spring from having that 5-week virus, and now I am missing this whole season as well. Very frustrating!  HOWEVER, as the love of the performing arts has CLEARLY been passed on to my 12-year-old nephew, who at this time last year was on European tour with the Atlantic Boychoir, I am NOT missing out on his first-ever singing solo. AND it’s in a professional cast of over 130 with his mother accompanying the show as part of the small band/orchestra they’ve hired.  This is a BIG deal!  Sydney is even mentioned in the Arts & Culture Centre’s flyer as a featured performer, which is pretty amazing for a kid, I think:

There are 5 performances (one’s a matinee) next week with sold-out crowds of over 1,000 people at each performance —- and Mom has already flown to St. John’s to help with all the extra craziness going on in a musicians’ household at the run-up to Christmas. Of course my sister always plays, as part of the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra, for the annual Nutcracker concert, the annual Messiah concert, and has numerous other gigs right now, as does Sydney with his school concerts, his ‘cello, his viol-de-gamba, his choral singing with the Boychoir and now soloing in the big Diva’s show.  That’s “big Diva’s show”, NOT ” Big Divas’ show “. Please note difference!  He’s singing the gorgeous melody from The Greatest Showman, called A Million Dreams. If you haven’t heard it, you MUST; it’s luscious.  Here’s the young lad , Ziv Zaifman, that sang it for the soundtrack. No doubt there will be no recording done of poor Sydney’s efforts, as seems the case with most of his performances, and of course we lowly family members (even those who have to province-hop and go doped up on painkillers and in a wheelchair!) can’t take recording devices into theatres, so this is the closest we’ll likely have:

I DID, however, do up a little ‘gif’ of my sister playing for the Divas show last year (they had an Irish/Celtic theme then) and of Sydney on CBC radio last month for the Boychoir.

As you’ll have noticed in the above, like me, my sister is very dramatic, facially – especially when playing.  Some of you may remember that she has always been this expressive since our early days playing as children.  However, as you can see by this video of a gorgeous piece by Franck, which SHE just did this year for a charity concert, her playing is unrecognizable compared to what it was when we were children!

Anyway, I leave for St. John’s on Friday, being pushed through the airports and to the theatre two nights in a row (thanks for the ticket gifts, Jennifer!) by the good folk at Air Canada, and my poor brother-in-law!  Wheelchairs courtesy of Air Canada and the Red Cross. Thanks very much!

While I’m plugging Atlantic Canada professional stage shows here, I should also mention that my singing partner from above, Sandi Tattersall, has an equally talented sibling and nephew, the former who is appearing in the professional cast of Beauty and the Beast in Moncton in a few months  (Curtis Sullivan is often seen in a lot of Drayton Productions in Ontario, and I’m sure many of the Ontarioites reading this blog will have seen him in those.  My theatre-loving compatriots from the Stratford teaching days will surely recognize him as the Drayton company has expanded so much recently, hasn’t it?)   Sadly, I don’t THINK my knees will be rehabbed enough to make it to the Moncton production, as I’d planned when it was originally announced, but if you’re in that area (which, in N.B. means – ANY OF THE ATLANTIC PROVINCES!)  here’s the link for tickets and a cast summary:

https://www.facebook.com/notes/th%C3%A9%C3%A2tre-capitol-theatre/beauty-and-the-beast-cast-announcement-annonce-de-la-distribution-des-r%C3%B4les/2400399146645048/ Sandi’s nephew is a phenom. in his own right, and I pray/hope/expect my own nephew may be following along these lines – for the purely selfish reason that I can have years of exciting and proud theatre to see!  His name is Jeremy Leo Curtis and he just finished a run in downtown Toronto as Joseph, in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Jeremy got stellar reviews, one of which – by the Gaisins for the Ontario Arts Review -says: “The title character is portrayed by Jeremy Leo Curtis and methinks this young man has a promising potential theatre career. He can sing up a storm; utilizes his face & posture to advantage; is obviously charismatic…and in addition – movie-star handsome.”

So, Ontario theatre-goers of whom I know many are reading this blog (despite it supposedly being about how to live self-sufficiently on a homestead in the Maritimes!) – keep your eyes open for Curtis Sullivan and/or Jeremy Leo Sullivan!  Now THAT’S a musical theatre family! (but still not the ones I’m writing my own musical about. You’ll have to wait for another non-homesteading-themed blog posting to find out more about that!)

Also in Perth, and if you’re in the Maritimes you might have heard about this on CBC Radio Noon yesterday,   https://www.cbc.ca/listen/shows/maritime-noon     our Choir Director (and esteemed mayor) suggested to her young and massively creative Baptist minister that they do what is apparently a ‘first’ – possibly in the world.  (Remember we sang as ‘angels’ last December for the same church’s drive-thru Nativity? if you don’t remember and want a peek, and yes – one of Richard wearing yet a DIFFERENT toque on his noggin,  see this blog posting:  https://bluebellmountainblog.wordpress.com/2017/12/09/cast-of-thousands/    ) .  Marianne Bell and  the Rev. Michael Fredericks with another cast of ‘manymany; have filmed a series called ‘Online Advent’. Each day, starting today, they will have a little clip of their ‘show’ telling the Christmas story and yesterday on air Rick Mercer said, (even if it MAY have been tongue-in-cheek) that’d he’d consider being in their production another year as it ‘has all the production quality of Murdoch Mysteries’!

Here’s Jessica Theriault , and Sheila Cummings, who sings with us in choir and went to Moncton to Choralfest with 6 of us in October. This is taken from the ‘trailer’ to which I’ve also given the link below:

  Now, whilst musical theatre season (and in England also silly ‘panto’ season!) is very HOT in December, this blog posting isn’t particularly Christmassy OR Homesteady as yet – so as a build-up to your festive season, and to not get off track TOO much (too late!) re: living self-sufficiently, here is what to do when you have lots of fresh goat’s milk and eggs:

HOMEMADE EGG NOG – take 3 or 4 day-old goat’s milk (want it to have sat in fridge for a few days for best thickness and richer taste), fill up half a blender, throw in up to 6 fresh eggs from your chickies, add 2 tsp. of vanilla, 1/2 a cup of sugar or Stevia, 1/2 cup of vanilla frozen yogurt (your own if you’ve some made up!) and some cinnamon and nutmeg.  Blend it up – if your eggs were very fresh it should be yellowish in colour, but not to worry if it isn’t — and when it’s finished put only a very SMALL amount of rum in, if you wish.  I find more than a dollop ruins the whole lovely beverage, though I know many who will disagree!

Cardinal card by our wonderful artist friend (and my former art teacher!) Jane Wright.  Richard has been inspired by Anne Schultz to suddenly enjoy cardinals again, as he once did… so I might make the next blog posting a Christmassy-red-snowy-Cardinal-based posting!

Nogs, Noggins, Song’n’s and Toboggans Richard's been a very busy dude this last month or so.  Since the end of October my 'good' knee has steadily become worse than my 'bad' one (the one scheduled for surgery on Jan.
