Fading of the Veil: World Basics
Note: None of this is necessary reading before jumping into the story, but I thought I would add it in for anyone who wants to know more about the world. 
Tumblr media
There are small levels of magic in all foods, and just like how we are able to convert food into energy,  magic users — called "Flickers" — can do the same for magic, while the majority of people lack the ability to process it, so it simply passes through.
People do not see it that simply, though. In their minds, the majority are the only healthy ones, while Flickers are ill and dangerous. Some people will not even touch a Flicker in fear of catching what cannot be caught.
Much like how some people have more energy than others, some Flickers have more magic than others. In order to test if a person has magic, as well as how much, trial jars are used. 
Tumblr media
If you do prove to be a Flicker, by law you are enlisted into the military. The division of the magic users is called "The Coven of the Fallen," and the branch in Sheeglen is called "The Lapis Order."  The main purpose of the Coven is to fight rogue Flickers and solve murders done by Flickers. While it may seem cruel to have them hunt their own people, fighting a Flicker is seen as something too dangerous for anyone else....and no one cares if a Flicker dies.
Once you are in the Coven, if you are useful, you will be placed in a squad. These squads are typically made up by 5 roles, and are sorted by power types.
Tumblr media
Sheeglen has one of the best known facilities for training and using Flickers, so many are sent there for training, then sent all around the kingdom for missions. Almost all the Flicker characters you will meet will be from Sheeglen for this reason. 
Tumblr media
Despite the hatred for Flickers, many of the equipment and devices in their world rely on Flickers to power them. Low-level Flickers (too hated to get other jobs) end up working at power-cell factories, where they work in horrible conditions for little pay. They have their magic syphoned into a machine which then charges "glow cells."
Tumblr media
This technology powers everything from trains, to street lamps, to vehicles.
Tumblr media
This story is heavily based off of the Victorian and Edwardian era's, as well as Scottish folklore, but does not take place in our world. However, a keen folklorist might be able to solve some of the murders ahead of time...

I’m late for this books birthday but mail can be a toss up. This book, though, is beautiful and I can’t wait to read it, so long in the making. Miss Violet and the Great War by @leannareneehieber. The Strangely Beautiful series has a very special place in my heart and contains one of my favorite couples in fiction. ❤️🖤❤️ . . #strangelybeautiful #newrelease #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #books #fantasy #gaslightfantasy #victorianfantasy #readallofleannasbooksnow https://www.instagram.com/p/BuelT-fHt5z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x1dewjjt92vp

My oc Moth (right) with her very cursed and chewed up husband, Lord Correb, the ferrier of souls for the county of Korraban. In the book there is geographic-based grim reapers. From my story The Ferryman! 60+ chapters are available to read currently, more will appear as I finish them
(This was made on arches hot pressed 100% cotton paper, with watercolors and ink, and then digitally edited in procreate.)

One of the most fascinating fairy stories ever written, by George MacDonald. Illustrations by Sendak are some of his very best (I'm generally less of a fan). Actually, this is not my book, and I need to give it back to its rightful owner! Tolkien connection (other than that he loved it): Tolkien wrote "Smith of Wootton Major" inspired by The Golden Key. Both share an inscrutable quality and a lot of moving story parts that seem (on first readings) unrelated. #georgemacdonald #thegoldenkey #mauricesendak #illustratedbooks #greatillustrators #fairystories #tolkien #smithofwoottonmajor #inklingsinspirations #greatauthors #fantasy #fairytales #victorianfantasy #bookstagram #bookstagrammer @saint_wulfram #saint_wulfram (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuOqThXAZ-j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nu43mb4fbk6s

Hi! I just wanted to let you know I love your fan fiction, especially the ones about Newt's Reverse Harem. I love the series Love is not a victory March and am wondering how Graves' first meeting with Albus will go.
@victorianfantasy
Continuation of the Love is not a victory march series.
You can read the complete series here.
***
The Ministry of Magic believes in Albus Dumbledore. For the past few weeks he has had meetings with Newt to tell him everything the Ministry knows about his boys, which is not much and it’s useless because Albus is constantly confusing them.
It’s perfect and Tina has the feeling Albus is making all that effort just to see Newt smile and sometimes get a kiss on the cheek in return.
He has been clever enough to avoid Graves every single time, although Theseus always makes things a little bit difficult for him anyway. Theseus is constantly next to Newt, taking his hand or nuzzling the back of his head, while Newt runs his fingers through his hair.
Although that doesn’t often happen when the Director is around, like in that moment. Newt is kissing Graves on the lips, probably to calm him down a little bit before Albus arrives. And Theseus is just pacing around Tina’s living room (because of course they chose her and Queenie’s apartment for that meeting) sometimes looking at his brother in Graves’s arms with a bit of pain in his eyes.
She has always thought there’s something really bittersweet about the way Theseus behaves around his brother, although that’s certainly not the time to think about it.
Queenie is making tea and coffee when Albus arrives and despite of Graves’s clear reluctance, Newt greets the man with a hug as soon as he walks in the living room. Although this time it’s not enough for the man, because he takes Newt’s hand and kisses it.
Neither Graves nor Theseus like that.
Then Albus’s eyes meet Graves’s and they both spend a couple of minutes just staring at each other, Graves keeps glaring at him and even though Albus doesn’t look happy with him, he doesn’t glare back.
Finally, Newt gets in the middle of them both and Albus has again that full, sincere smile on his face.
“The Ministry won’t be a problem for you for a while,” he says and Newt grins back at him and Tina can tell Albus was waiting for a smile like that since he arrived. Newt kisses his cheek while Theseus frowns and Graves puts a possessive hand on the magizoologist’s waist.
“Well… now you can go,” Graves almost growls and Albus quirks up a brow at him.
“Percy, please. Albus is just trying to help,” Newt mumbles, pressing his lips against Graves’s and Tina can see the moment he gives in.
“We all just want the same, Mr. Graves,” Albus says then and both Theseus and her boss look at him for a moment, like they’re communicating only with their eyes.
The Director is about to argue when Newt takes Albus’s hand and intertwines their fingers together and sits him next to him on the couch.
Graves sits at the other side, taking a deep breath, because he knows what that means; he has to accept Albus in their group, like he eventually did with Grindelwald.
They all have to accept him.
Because Newt has just given him his trust.
