"--just as I always do. I always measure twice. So what I can't understand is how the heck it went wrong!"

"Had you ever done a Snowglobe Enchantment before, Mom?" Aunt Wendalyn said.

"Well, no," my grandmother said, "but I don't think it matters. It's considered fairly trivial to work. Children can do it. It's a simple illusion, meant to dazzle your Snowflake Day guests on their way out, by helping them step into a sparkling, magical, winter wonderl--"

"Out there it is summer, Grandma," I said crossly. "People are swimming. Everyone is in tank tops and shorts and sandals."

"I have heard they do things different in the Nordics--" Violet began.

"Shut UP, Violet. God!" I threw up my hands in frustration.

"Grandma," I said, "if it's a winter scene you wanted, wouldn't it have been a billion times simpler just to make it snow? Look! Everyone has their lights--okay. Backtrack--everyone in Elmira City had their lights up. Maybe they still do. I mean, I'm assuming this enchantment didn't nuke the city from orbit or anything, right?

Nods from everyone but Violet, who suddenly looked frantic. I shouldn't even suggest possibilities like that around her.

"Plus! PLUS, we were out in the suburbs with no lack of trees, right, and it was cold enough that I super regretted wearing a halter dress, although I'm much happier about that choice now because, like I said, it's fucking summer. But come on! The weather stone was just--"

My aunt interrupted me.

"We can only do Reviving Sprinkle at the Weather Stone, Velma. Sorry. No snow."

"Is that the one with the rainbow?" asked Violet.

No one answered her right away, so I jumped back in before anyone could.

"Are you seriously trying to tell me that you're both fairies--one of you is even Queen of all of you--and you can't just make it snow whenever you want? How is that possible? Even witches have Ice Blast!"

My grandmother's turn to throw up her hands.

"I don't understand any more of this than you do, Velma--"

"Then you shouldn't have been playing around with such things, Mother," I heard my own mother say.

I stared at her as though she were an alien in our midst. She might as well have been! My mother...? talking that way to her mother...? Since fucking when?!

Aunt Wendalyn sighed.

"I have to agree with Wilona, Mom. This was... this wasn't your best-ever idea."

"It was a TERRIBLE idea," I said. "I love you, Auntie W, but let's not euphemize it. It was an absolutely batshit awful idea and now--I mean, look at Violet. She's terrified something has happened to her family. --Oh, you are too, Violet, and I don't even blame you, okay? Like for once your reaction is exactly normal."

I caught my breath and continued.

"And what about Devon? Devon teaches school now, Grandma, did you know that? He has class in the morning! Those children depend on him, and now you've fucked it up for a... for a... for a spectacle," I said.

I wasn't even sure that was the word I wanted, but Vivienne nodded at me. "Yes. A spectacle. Almost Situationist, so I applaud it in that sense, but... these are our lives, Grandma, and, um, they're severely messed up right now."

"And we know you meant well, Grandma, but please," said Violet, plainly near tears, "please find some way to fix it."

My grandmother looked dazedly around the room. Seeming uncertain which of us to address, she finally raised a hand at the television and directed her question to it:

"How?"

Money In The Houses 💴

To be precise each house can show you something about money, for an example your 6H can show daily services you subscribe pay for like Netflix or HBO. but there are 4 primary houses that specifically focus on and show us about money these are: The 2nd house, 5th house, 8th house and 11th house. They all show resource accumulation in different ways. 2nd house and 8th house are the main houses to focus on for money astrology, secondary would be 11H and 5H then all the other houses have their own subtler money relevancy.

2nd house, The house of Values and Possessions, it shows:

stored wealth like income, earning potential, salary, savings, assets, possessions (like jewels, cars)

- how you spend

- how you earn

- the kind of assets and possessions that you own

- what you spend on

- how you perceive the value of money

- how you save

- The skills and talents you use to make money for yourself

- the state of your financial stability

- Your attitudes on saving

2nd house is money earned through your own personal efforts, the skills that you have, your blood sweat and tears. Money here is made through you and your efforts alone. It is long lasting assets and the kind that are considered when calculating your net worth.

Look at sign ruling this house and the planet. Do they work well together or contradict each other? E.g a Virgo ruled second house with Uranus inside has two energies that contradict one another, Virgo needing to be picky on purchases VS Uranus being impulsive and purchasing what it wants so when these two energies work in the same building you may even feel bad for purchasing things before doing research on it and get disappointed with your purchase because you just went for it in the moment

Finding where the 2nd house ruler planet is in the chart shows the best topics, best places , best way you can earn money that’s beneficial to you.

Eg. If your 2H was in Virgo, look at 6th house what’s inside of it? And where mercury is in your chart. Mercury (ruled by Virgo) in this case shows you how you can can excel in an industry under the topic of the house it’s in. Whereas the 6th house and The planets that would fall into the 6th house, would indicate industries you’d do well in that are a combination of the planets in there and what kind of work you could do/what planet energies you can emphasise to gain more money on your career based on the 2nd house.

5th house, the house of Gambling and risky investments, it shows:

investments in startup companies ,gambling, investing in penny stocks

- how much you may make from investing, gambling and creative endeavours

- Money made from personal hobbies, creative talents and projects

- how lucky you are at earning money from risky investments

- Your approach to gambling

- How you spend resources on leisure activities and entertainment

- Attitudes on risky spending/gambling

- The outcome of your gambling and risky investments

This would be your trading 212 and creative artist placement. I can imagine people that invested in crypto currency back in 2008 and people that purchased nfts having this house active. 5H placements can make you lucky in the industry you are in, it can give you that boost in industries that require you to need to have luck or attention to make it. This can be entertainment stars, the lottery, entrepreneurship or just being really blessed with income from taking risks for fun. I’ve noticed natives with this house active tend to be successful businesses investors, gamblers, fashion designers, actors and artists, because these industries also require a bit of luck to make it, that’s why it’s also known as thie “star” house for celebrities. If planets here are beneficial native just happens to have the right things happen for them at the right time.

Key figures with 5th house active/stellium: Timothee chalamet, will smith, Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, Calvin Harris, Mozart, Elon Musk

11th house, the house of tangible material gains:

ready to be spent wealth like, liquid cash, profit, products (clothing, food), promotion from work

- money made from your public image and things your known for (fame)

- Your financial status and social standing

- How you can gain profit and wealth online

- Money made from your ideas, goals and inventions

- How money comes easiest to you

- The type of resources acquired from

- What part of our lives we may live in luxury or can afford to spend more on (E.g 11H sag being luxury travel)

11H is on hand liquid cash, things like stocks , disposable income, the tangible stuff that you can actively spend, it’s pretty unexpected too like 8th house except 8th house income comes from places you didn’t know about but 11H gains come from sources you always knew about but are just suddenly now benefiting you out of nowhere. You know how some people can be famous and still be broke, with a prominent or beneficial 11 house, you automatically get money along with the attention from their public image. This is because 11H is naturally the representative of social connections, networking and communities but also because of derivative astrology

The 10th house represents your career, public image and the 2nd house represents money/finances so you count 2 houses starting from 10 using Derivative Astrology (10 => 11) meaning the 11th house represents money made from our career and public image. This is why this is known as the influencer house.

People tend to use their fame and wealth from this house to start businesses. This house works really well with 8H because it kind of forces other people to acknowledge you. It’s a little different from the 5th house in terms of getting money from your inventions -In the sense that the very concept behind your creations bring you material gain whereas 5th house are blessed for expressing themselves and in risky situations (not strictly exclusive to creative arts, but the art industry is naturally a hit or miss industry). This house is very similar to 2nd house however I’d say 2nd house is more long term but 11H is quick and easy, makes you appear wealthy like rappers and celebrities living a lavish lifestyle but don’t have something to fall on if it runs out. 2nd house is longevity and allows a native to live off their assets if necessary.

8th house, The house of inheritance, joint resources and investments, it shows:

inheritance, debt, taxes,investors, gifts, joint resources,insurance, the money people owe you

- how much resources you receive from other people

- How much assets, money and resources you may share with others and inherit

- The individuals you may inherit from,have joint bank accounts, shared resources with that financially bless you

- where your resources from other people come from

- the kind of people and industries that may invest/donate/give to you

- How you handle and manage your debt and loans

- your ability to adapt to financial challenges and a complete change of class or income, essentially how you handle financial transformations

- How much you may leave for others when you pass away

- Your ability to repay financial obligations like debt and taxes

- The financial downfalls or sudden financial gains that come from unexpected sources or a source you didn’t know about (8th house is a house of secrets and in the dark so you don’t really see it coming)

- Attitudes towards other peoples resources and the concept of debt/loans

- What kind of resources, assets and things you may receive from other people

Honestly 8th house covers a lot in finances, it’s the kind of money you get for literally no reason, like you can just be sitting there and money falls on to your lap, it can be known as the nepotism house, resources gained not as a result of your day to day efforts (unless making aspects to 6H/Saturn), but a thing you get all at once as a “here you go, well done!”. You really don’t see it coming either, having a blessed 8H is good but you also need to maintain your inheritance otherwise you can end up losing it all that’s why it’s important to have a grounded 2nd house. The kind of people that tend to have this house active and beneficial would be people that are blessed with money in their darkest of times, natives put in the will of their family, people that marry into wealth, being involved with financial contracts that benefit the native more than the other.

E.g Uranus here would want it’s independence, Pluto would feel entitled to others finances and therefore native would excel in taking money from others, Jupiter is lucky here so you would just be blessed with inheritances and financial gains from others even though you didn’t plan for it.

Also look at the ruling planets of this house, say if you had an Aries 8th house, locating which house Mars is in your chart can show you which kind of places you can be given money from most, E.g your Aries is in 11th house and your Mars is in 3rd House you would make great financial gains on the topic/themes of networking, social media E.g. online companies giving you their products in hope of you trying them, being recommended for bonus or accolades because someone you vaguely know mentioned you to their boss, whereas Mars (Aries planetary ruler in 3H) could also indicate who you get your money from like siblings, people you share your ideas with etc.

Is Angelina Jolie a Punarvasu Rising or a Pushya Rising?

Angelina Jolie's reported birth time is 9:09 am and is said to be a Pushya Rising, had she been born 10 minutes earlier, she would have Punarvasu Rising. Given that this is a very small window of time and highly likely for her birth to have taken place 10 minutes earlier (birth certificates often report a rough estimate not an accurate minute-by-minute statement) I am inclined to believe that she may indeed be a Punarvasu Rising.

According to Claire Nakti, on her post about the beauty and appearance of Punarvasu natives, she had remarked that due to Punarvasu's Jupiter influence, its natives often have really large features, especially the eyes and lips but also the chin and cheekbones.

L to R

Sharon Tate- Punarvasu Rising

Angelina Jolie

Lisa Bonet- Punarvasu Rising

All of them have a similar face shape, very prominent eyes and cheekbones and chin and large features overall.

The only feature of her appearance that can be attributed to Saturn influence (assuming she's Pushya Rising) is her bone structure. Still, if she were Punarvasu Rising then she'd have Ascendant conjunct Saturn so Saturn would affect her appearance anyway.

Angelina also has twin children, Knox & Vivienne who are Punarvasu Sun

Our children represent our karma and Angelina does have Saturn in Punarvasu in her birth chart

Since the constellation of Punarvasu features the twin stars Castor & Pollux (which are, interestingly the names she had picked out for them when she was pregnant with them), many famous twins tend to have Punarvasu placements and some famous Punarvasus tend to have twins

Mariah Carey, Punarvasu Moon with her fraternal twins, Moroccan and Munroe

The IG famous Clements twins (Ava & Leah) are Punarvasu Sun (conjunct Mercury)

Duality is an innate theme of Jupiter and many other Jupiter natives also have twins or are twins:

Scarlett and Hunter Johansson, Vishaka Moon

Lisa Marie Presley, Purvabhadrapada Moon with her twin daughters, Harper & Finley

Angelina's elder daughter, Shiloh is Rohini Sun & Moon (Angelina is Rohini Sun) and since the twins are Punarvasu Sun, I am inclined to believe that perhaps Angie is a Punarvasu Rising.

(please note that the only reason I am not mentioning her adopted children is that the birthdays of adopted children are often assumed/approximated since birth certificates or such data cannot always be obtained as they're abandoned as babies :((( but all in all, all of our children, biological or adopted, represent our karma)

Other than all this, the reason I am strongly inclined to believe Angelina is Jupiter-dominant is because of this video. In this video, Claire explains how Jupiter natives tend to have a drastic makeover or change in persona/image as they integrate their shadow and individuate. She placed a lot of emphasis on how these women "feminize" themselves (Jupiter is a masculine planet and often these women are kind of shabby or tomboyish or scrappy and then go through a journey where they embrace their "femininity" and get more attention as a result of it).

These are some images of Angelina from her teen years. She dropped out of high school at the age of 14 due to constant bullying and has talked about being unpopular in school. (the "invisible phase" of Jupiterean women)

Keep in mind that if she is Punarvasu Rising then it conjuncts her Saturn in Punarvasu, which means not only does she experience the expansiveness of Jupiter but she has to learn how to contain this boundlessness within the restrictive nature of Saturn. Saturn conjunct luminaries also give the native excellent bone structure 👀and difficult and turbulent life experiences that drive one to self-purification (Angelina turned to spirituality and humanitarian work in her mid-20s and has credited it with helping her turn her life around and find purpose and meaning).

Jupiter women go through most of their early lives being very unrefined, kind of scrappy if not tomboyish. They're very passionate and devote themselves to their hobbies and interests but they neglect themselves and don't really put effort into their self-presentation.

Angelina is 16yrs old in this interview and if you observe the way she talks, her body language etc, she's very awkward but more open, kind of saying whatever, she's more "free" in some sense because she's not poised or refined yet.

This is her at the age of 24 and she's outgrown her teenage awkwardness but she's still in her rebel era, she hasn't integrated her shadow yet

This is Angelina in the year 2003, she's 28 years old and you can see how she's become more feminine, more poised, more ladylike, there is a glow to her and she seems calmer and composed as opposed to the kind of frantic, restless energy of her older interviews. This is a year after she adopted her son Maddox in 2002. She has credited her time in Cambodia (she went there for the first time in 2000) leading up to the adoption of her son Maddox as having been instrumental to her transformation as seeing the aftermath of the Khmer Rouge opened her eyes to human suffering and she grew committed to humanitarian work and living her life more responsibly (she had previously struggled with heroin addiction and famously hired a hitman to kill her)

“I never thought I’d have children,” she said. “Having come from a broken home, you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don’t look for them.”

“I knew once I committed to Maddox, I would never be self-destructive again.”

Punarvasu's deity Aditi is the mother of all Gods and is also the God of earth & harvest. Motherhood is a very significant experience for Punarvasu women. Goddess Aditi was mother to the 12 Adityas and vedic texts mention Punarvasu women as being "blessed with sons". Many famous Punarvasu women can be cited as examples, most notably, Miranda Kerr, Punarvasu Moon who has 4 boys, Gwen Stefani, Punarvasu Moon who has 3 boys, Shakira, Punarvasu Moon who has 2 boys.

Angelina has repeatedly credited her son Maddox for helping her become "a woman" and that she felt called to be his mother.

At what age did you feel the most at ease with your femininity?

"When I first became a mother, and now. That sense of ease grows and changes with each passing year and each stage in life. For me, it is about learning to accept yourself and accept what life brings."

Being a mother of 6 and a humanitarian is a huge part of her public image. She went from being a weird punk who wore vials of blood kissed her brother and did knife tricks on late-night shows to this very poised, refined, elegant woman.

She was this Hollywood eccentric widely considered a freakshow and in a couple of years she became one of the most admired women in the world. This emerged from the shadow to her light and became one whole integrated being. Punarvasu being "the return of the light".

Her fame rose to astronomical levels in the mid-2000s following her makeover and Angelina quickly became an A-list celebrity. Punarvasu and Jupiter in general test the natives so their lives are full of ups and downs until they find balance. Even though her father was an Oscar-winning actor, Angelina did not grow up with much money as her parents divorced when she was young and she was raised by her single mother (who wasn't rich or famous). She in fact started modelling as a teenager to support her mother. Then in her later life, she accumulated immense wealth and currently has a net worth of $120 million. (her birth nakshatra of Revati is also a wealth giving nak along with Punarvasu).

She underwent a drastic transformation and we saw her shed her darkness or emerge from her shadow into the light. This transformation also brought her immense attention and saw her rise in status. This is a uniquely Jupiterean journey. Especially with her Ascendant conjunct Saturn, her life was full of karmic trials, be it being of service to humanity, her many marriages, her 6 children, losing her mother to cancer, her own battles with health and all of this before she even turned 40 as Jupiter natives undergo many trials and tribulations when they're young.

Another feature of Punarvasu's return of the light theme is doing things better the second time around or having multiple chances to get it right. This often means multiple marriages (Miranda Kerr, Mariah Carey, Gwen Stefani etc come to mind rn) and Angie has been married thrice 👀

All of this leads me to believe that Angelina Jolie is a Punarvasu Rising and not a Pushya Rising.

Dove | Simon "Ghost" Riley

A/N: Hello lovely people, I have a backlog of short stories written for things like Avatar: The Way of Water, MWII, Stranger Things, The Arcana, Outer Banks, and many more that I have never posted and keep to myself. I'm talking hundreds of pages worth of fluff, angst and eventual smut - you've got to get through some plot first, though. HOWEVER, if anyone likes my writing and wants to task me with stuff to write, like straight smut, I'm all ears. Anyway, if anyone is interested in reading stuff I could potentially post, here is a snippet for a little Call of Duty fic.

Synopsis: You're to play the materialistic wife of a rich, well-connected husband during an undercover mission. You're to-be husband is a temporary recruit of the 141, who is to supervise your every move. While getting ready, you have a surprising interaction with your Lieutenant, Ghost, who you swear has made it his mission to treat you like a stranger day after day. Until now.

Pairing: Simon "Ghost" Riley x f!reader

Contains: pretty much nothing of importance, just Ghost being as unreadable as ever, causing reader to have their mind blown by the smallest of crumbs

• • • • •

I look in the mirror at the woman who is supposed to be Lyanna Winstead. She’s the partner of Dario Winstead, son of a wealthy businessman. Everything about Lyanna is a carbon copy of myself. Her smile, her hair, her figure, her voice. Only, she presents herself in a way I haven’t in a long time.

Gone is the tactical gear and camouflage colours. Instead, she wears the most beautiful dress I’ve ever seen. The outline of the dress is simple yet captivating to suits the old Hollywood theme. Silver cascades down her body, creating the illusion of a mercury waterfall. The sweetheart neckline and thin straps compliment her full breasts and soft arms. Adorning the bodice are glistening silver designs that remind me of old, swirling boarders on French mirrors. The designs fall away, melting into plain silver threads that fall to the floor and pool at her feet. The dress hugs her body like a second skin, only melting away at her knees. The silhouette fit her hourglass figure well.

The silver jewellery she wears is modest so as not to take away from the dress’s magnificence. On her neck is a dainty Vivienne Westwood necklace, the inner planet of the pendant a pearl. Matching dangling earrings hang from her lower lobe piercing. The rest of her ear piercings are small diamond studs and silver hoops. One wrist displays a thin diamond tennis bracelet and a Van Cleef one with emerald clovers. On the other is the only ode to myself: the evil eye bracelet I never take off. The thin silver chain and bejewelled eye thankfully blend into the rest of the accessories. Small rings cover her fingers, few in number and easily ignorable. The bands are thin and any jewels are small and clear. However, one stands out; a breathtaking sight on her left index finger.

Glittery diamonds cover the band, giving way to a large, circular moonstone. Rainbow shimmer comes to life in the milky stone when the light hits it just right. Separating the band and the centrepiece are two small flowers with diamond centres. Two separate rings sit beneath and below the main one, shaped in V’s to follow the curve. At each point are flowers similar the the others, with curved leaves flowing from the petals. All three are gold, contrasting against the silver to make a statement.

I’m not just looking back at Dario’s partner. I’m looking at his wife.

I’m Will’s wife. 

Fake wife, really. I nearly shake my head in wonder. I still look like myself, but everything about this makes me feel like I’m wearing a second skin. Lyanna’s skin. Every so often I stare at the ring in amazement. If anyone ever proposes to me, I would hope for nothing less than the magnificent that is this ring. All that adorns my body is courtesy of Will. Unbeknownst to me before this mission, he’s filthy rich, and a filthy rich man needs a filthy rich wife. All the designer jewellery, the dress, the shoes, and the engagement ring are authentic and top dollar.

After the last touch-ups of make-up, fragrances, and hair, I’m making my way to the courtyard. I’m to have one last briefing and run over of the plan before getting in Will’s blacked-out Corvette. I have to give it to him: he really knows how to pull off a lavish life with style.

Already am I wishing to rip off the damn stilettos on my feet. While I could live in the dress and jewellery, this is the one day a year I’m willing to wear heels.

The air is cool, the last golden light of day painting the courtyard and walls of Alejandro’s HQ in a luminescent glow. A low rumble fills the air from my 'husband’s car. Will leans against it, speaking with the 141. Ghost lingers back by the front door, arms folded and back leaning against a pillar. Weaving between his fingers with precision is a small dagger. His head turns at the sound of approaching heels.

“Was starting to think you were a no show,” he says gruffly.

I stop beside him to adjust my dress. It doesn’t really need adjust, but suddenly being subjected to his gaze makes me anxious. “Told you it would take a while. Gotta look the part.”

The way his eyes travel over my body almost makes me shrink away. Every curve is on full display. The tight bodice holds up my already full breasts, and somehow my waist-to-hip ratio is even more accentuated. Wearing my uniform doesn’t exactly hide my figure thanks to the tight shirts and cargo pants that aren’t exactly loose from my mid-thigh up. However, a lot of me is lost beneath the vests and belts.

“Stop...inspecting me, or whatever you're doing,” I mumble. “Makes me think I need to fix something.”

I begin taking the skirts in my hand as I survey my descent. It’s not too much, but the steps are steep enough to be an issue. The heels on my feet are no help.

Ghost shakes his head. “Don’t. You look…”

“Important?”

“Pretty.”

I stop in my tracks to look back at him, unsure if I heard him correctly. He doesn’t look away or seem embarrassed to have said so. Then again, when does he ever. No-nonsense and prideful in his emotionless character, Ghost is not one to regret his words. Everything he says is a calculated move. Compliments are certainly something to be calculated in a sense, but I don't think of it to be a compliment, even when a small part of me screams for more. I'm playing my part well; there'd be a problem if I wasn't looking pretty. A slow smile quirks at my lips, teasing in nature as I raise my brows. The teasing turns to surprise, however, when he offers me his arm.

“How chivalrous,” I quip as I lightly take his offered arm. Even the slightest contact sends thrills beneath my skin. “Careful, Lieutenant. I might start to think you actually like me.”

Ghost’s eyes train on the ground. At first, I wonder if he doesn’t want to meet my eyes, only then to realise he’s watching my footing. I barely catch a glimpse of his squint.

“I like you in one piece,” he corrects. “This job will be over the second you sprain your ankle on a flight of stairs.”

I hum. “Ahh, there it is.”

He looks up at me then. “There’s what?”

“Thinking about the job, as always.”

As always, I keep my tone light and teasing, but there's an accusing hint. A subtle jab I let slip that I pray goes unnoticed.

There's no room for emotions in this job, and though I've compromised that with the rest of the 141, Ghost is a difficult case. An impossible riddle, a mind-numbing equation with no real answer. Nothing about him should be likeable. He's painfully honest and dismissive when he bothers to speak, he's angry half the time, his attention is never lingering and his mind is an impenetrable fortress. It would make more sense to give in to Alejandro's shameless flirting or Gaz's sleazy grins. Only, it's Ghost that keeps me up at night. It's Ghost, who sends a pang through my chest when he reminds me any care is from pure investment in performance. I'm useful, nothing more.

I can count on one hand the number of times he's thrown me small morsels of care as if I were a stray dog whining and begging for food. Even then, I wouldn't have made it past three fingers. A greedy piece of me spins those memories into something that serves my desire. See, he's returning your interest, that hopeful voice purrs in my ear while feeding me botched versions of what really happened. I know better than to give in to the delusions. The ending of those memories is what sobers me, and it's no different now. I need you in shape for tomorrow. Keep your head in the game. I'm just making sure this isn't interrupting the job. He's always quick to redirect any concern from me to the job.

Maybe, just maybe...what if he was trying to save face? Does he not want to care?

Ghost remains silent for a moment. In consideration or because he doesn’t care to answer, I can’t tell. But when he does answer, his voice has my full attention. It’s low and rough, each syllable laced with something intoxicating. Something I've never heard before and never thought I would hear. Something I want to hear again and again.

“You have no idea what I think about, dove.”

Dove.

The response catches me so off guard I almost forget to take another step. We’ve reached the bottom of the steps, now. The second both my feet are on the flat expanse of the concrete driveway, he breaks away from our linked arms. There is no follow-up, no hint of a miscommunication, not even a look in my direction before he's gone from my side. All I can do is hesitantly trail behind him, lost in my thoughts.

Ghost has never given me a nickname before. Hell, he barely refers to me as anything other than my callsign. When I do hear my real name, it's never for good reasons.

The nickname that pours from his lips comes in a deep voice curled into a sensual tone, sounding like silk-covered marble, low and intended for my ears only. It's strangely intimate—something a lover would purr with lustful eyes and a seeking touch. Somehow it seems to invoke a phantom touch that glides across my skin. Gooseflesh puckers in its chilling wake. In the span of only a few seconds, I seem to experience every emotion humanly possible. Shock, surprise, a sickening, perverse enjoyment...and irritation that I must now join the rest of the team as if a mind-numbing heat was not boiling in the pits of my stomach

Doll For Love: An Artist’s Stitched Tribute To His Heroes – In Pictures

Artist and musician John Lee Bird started making dolls when chronic spinal problems prevented him from painting. He felt “like an alien far removed from my own existence due to the pain I was in”. When he found some sheets of felt in his desk drawer, Bird decided to make a Low-era David Bowie doll, appropriate to his mood. “When I started stitching, the little movements were soothing, and having to focus helped me ignore my suffering.” Three years and more than 1,000 dolls later, Bird is exhibiting these portraits of his friends and idols, all hand-stitched and 33cm (13in) tall. “Adversity shouldn’t stop you from creating,” says Bird. “I only get a real sense of accomplishment if I can look at something I’ve physically made. Then I can haul myself upstairs to bed and feel I’ve achieved a tiny something with my day.”

Debbie Harry.

Debbie Harry became an inspiration for women when she formed her music band ‘blondie’ in 1975. She broke down musical barriers by blending new wave with punk with pop with disco, made friends with Andy Warhol and was painted by him, bought Jean-Michel Basquiat’s first sale of a painting for US$300 (£250), acted in John Waters’ Hairspray, and released the first song that featured a rap verse (which she rapped) to reach number one in the Billboard charts, Rapture. However her influence wasn’t just limited to the 70’s but spread over decades.

Studio 54.

Studio 54 was more than a celebrity hotspot and beacon of New York nightlife. From the moment it opened its doors in 1977, the era-defining club was, “a sociological phenomenon and a historical event.” says writer Bob Colacello in Rizzoli’s Studio 54. Studio 54 became globally renowned as a cultural institution for its lavish, over-the-top spectacles and sartorial displays. Its disco days, though, were short-lived and the club closed its doors in 1980.

Studio 54 encouraged dance wear style, wrap-around skirts, leotards tube-top, dresses and separates that moved with ease and were made in lurex, miliskin and spandex.

1977

Model Bianca Jagger, in an off-the-shoulder number, is seen riding a white horse at the entrance of the club.

Bob Mackie and Cher.

Bob Mackie was often called the ‘Sultan of sequins’, dressing Cher as well as other stars in body-baring glamorous costumes. Cher, remains an unequivocal fashion trailblazer. From flower child in Sonny and Cher to the beginning of her pioneering career as a style superstar during her partnership with Bob Mackie, Cher radically expressed female agency in the male-dominated music industry throughout the 1960s and 1970s, often in an ultra-feminine glitter-adorned, skin-bearing jumpsuit.

Punk Fashion.

Punk first emerged in the mid-1970s in London as an anarchic and aggressive movement. The clothes suited the lifestyle of those with limited cash due to unemployment and the general low-income school leavers or students often experience. Punks cut up old clothes from charity and thrift shops, destroyed the fabric, and refashioned outfits in a manner then thought of a crude construction technique, making garments designed to attract attention.

Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren opened the infamous shop SEX, mixing X-rated silk screen, bondage gear, vinyl, rubber and safety pins with iconic English fashion.

Zandra Rhodes.

Zandra became the first couture designer to put punk on the runway. She first came to fame in the 1970s, and Princess Diana and Freddie Mercury both wore her designs, which are inspired by many different countries and classically feature intricate prints on flowing garments.

The kitchen doors swung open; a thick cloud of baking powder wafted out into the dining area, from the smog emerged a petite woman, her brunette hair was neatly tied back into a bun with a red ribbon and she wore a familiar uniform, but in dress form. The exact same Pokéball design was imprinted on the chest pocket where she stored her pen and notepad.

“*Cough cough* Sorry Boss, Drowz got into the pantry again and knocked down the magic baking powder... what a mess! We were tryna finish that order of custom designed cookies all before this little one got the bright idea to start climbin’ shelves!” She tossed a rag to the Drowzee that begrudgingly followed behind her. “*Sigh~* ‘Brings me back to the days my Harp-y got the strength to start causing his own lil’ catastrophes.” -She was briefly interrupted by an eager Pikachu scurrying out of the kitchen as well, bringing her the name tag that she had dropped when trying to catch the Drowzee once it had fallen from the higher up shelf.

“Vivi(enne)” “Ah! Much better. Thanks a ton, Pip!” Vivi ruffled the Pikachu’s fluff as it squealed in delight.

“Just as long as the little one is alright, then there’s nothing to worry about!”

"Once, I could overlook," I said. "But twice? Twice, and he wants me to believe--shit, I don't know what he wants me to believe."

"You haven't talked to him?"

"No," I said. "What would I say? Where do you even begin with something like this?"

"Well, you'll have to tell him about--"

"I know, I know," I said sourly. "I don't think this is the kind of thing you can exactly keep secret."

Smiling, Vivienne said, "So, now do you want to hear my side of it?"

"Please!"

"First of all," she said slowly, "first of all, while obviously I hope nothing like this ever happens again... if it does, could you please try asking me about it right away? I don't think that counts as butting into my business.

"And I can swear this to you, Velma: I will never, ever try to do anything to interfere with your love life or your happiness. So please: Please, please trust me enough to ask."

I blew out a puff of air.

"That's fair," I said. "That's a deal. And I hope you know--I wouldn't ever try to wreck your happiness, either."

Vivienne grinned at me.

"I know you wouldn't. You never have! See? This is why we've always been best friends and not just sisters."

"BFFs," I agreed.

"Now, the second thing," Vivienne said, "the more disturbing thing, I guess, is that David never asked Devon to give me a gift on Snowflake Day. Those flowers were all his doing--Devon's, I mean."

I arched an eyebrow.

"Oh, really."

"Velma, think about it--why would he? David doesn't even know Devon that well. And I know by now how David's work can be, and David knows that I know that, and considering he bought me a diamond bracelet for Snowflake Day? I don't think he was really worried I'd wind up empty-handed.

"Besides," she added, "I asked David about it, and he had no idea what I was talking about. We finally decided there must have been some mistake, somewhere, but we had no idea what had actually happened. And really, it didn't seem all that important compared to Grandma's much more serious mistake, plus we were in the middle of a long-distance move, so we kind of forgot about it."

Yes, it made sense. But I recalled Devon telling me how much David loved my sister, the way Devon had built himself up as a loyal bro trying to help a fellow out, and I felt queasy again.

"He was so convincing," I said. "That's what appalls me the most, I think."

"Well, that brings me to the third thing," Vivienne said. "You know how you said you could overlook it once, but not twice?--That's how I felt that night at Ian's, when Devon ambushed me in the powder room and said he could really use a hug."

"What'd you say?"

"Well, that's where I kind of fucked up, Velma. I was trying to be polite, you know, and just treat it like if one of my women friends had asked me... so I said, 'Of course!" and he went in for the hug, but then--"

"--but then you got the hug conversion?" I asked. "You know what I mean? That thing where you think you're just having a quick, friendly hug, but then the guy pulls you in too close and you go, okay, I guess we're doing this, but only because you don't really have a choice?"

Vivienne laughed.

"I feel terrible there's a term for that," she said. "I had not--I mean, I married David practically straight out of high school, you know, so I haven't experienced a hug conversion before. Hadn't, I guess. Because that's exactly what he did."

I shook my head and laughed a little.

"So, I'm glad you weren't fooling around with Devon behind my back after all," I said as we exchanged rueful smiles, "but I still have no idea what the hell I'm supposed to do now."

"We'll figure it out, Velma. You, me, Violet--the one kind of parenting trip you aren't going to have is a solitary one, okay? We'll be with you."

"Thanks, Viv," I said, blinking back tears.

"That's the other thing I hate about being pregnant," I added. "I always seem to have something in my eye."

WIP Meme (Werewolf/Vampire AU Scene)

Tagged by: @illusivesoul Thanks again as always for the tag! Sorry for the wait!

Tagging: @this-is-something-idk-what, @noeldressari, @w-h-4-t, @chaosroid, @midriffmoors

How about I spoil you all with a small scene from my Werewolf/Vampire AU involving Niamh and Leliana? ;D Everything’s under a cut for a semi-NSFW gif I’m using, so if you’re attempting to read this while you’re out in public, then you’ve been warned. :P

To say that Leliana was vexed after meeting with her colleagues was an understatement.

Although she no longer played an active role in the game of political intrigue so ubiquitous throughout Orlais, rumors of a rival faction within the vampire world proved too persistent to ignore. As such, Empress Celene was once again in need of her expertise to deal with the matter. To that end, Leliana was now collaborating with other members of the Imperial Court in an effort to pool together their respective knowledge and resources.

That some of those members were also long-time companions of hers was a boon.

Even before Empress Celene’s decree to deal with the rebels, Leliana had made it a point to meet with Morrigan, Vivienne, and Josie on a regular basis. While she herself was a distant figure in the Imperial Court these days, the other women helped keep her informed of anything that required her attention. The past few decades, however, had proven relatively quiet, and so the meetings between them was merely another excuse to catch up and trade in gossip amidst a evening of blood and wine.

...unfortunately, conversation had somehow shifted to the human Leliana had allowed to live with her for months.

She supposed the subject would have come up eventually, she groused reluctantly. Their curiosity was understandable. Leliana rarely involved herself in matters of the human world, and that she was making an exception for one woman---no matter how lovely and talented Niamh was as an artist---was bound to draw attention from her colleagues.

Not that Leliana was helping matters.

The more she learned of these usurpers, the more her concern grew for Niamh. If Empress Celene was their prime target, then the easiest way to dethrone her would be to assault her inner circle as well as anyone associated with them. Once such lines of succession fell, there would be no one else to contest the rebels’ claim to the empire.

In meeting with her colleagues that evening, however, she had left Niamh home alone, and---despite her best efforts---the knowledge of that had driven her to distraction.

An exceedingly rare thing.

The other vampires picked up on it instantly, of course, and even with Josie attempting to sway the conversation back to the matter at hand, Vivienne and Morrigan couldn’t be deterred.

Of their current party, Vivienne held seniority with both her age and experience. As such, she knew what it meant to be infatuated with a human and easily saw through Leliana’s attempts to deny it. The other woman’s affair with Duke Bastien had scandalized the Imperial Court several centuries ago, but while Vivienne admitted to the utter exhilaration of it, it was also a dangerous and ultimately fleeting game to be played.

Human lives were remarkably finite and fragile after all. Very few had the constitution to survive the turning---let alone the ability to thrive in the ever mercurial world of vampires.

There was never any doubt Vivienne utterly loved her Duke, but even with all their power, there was one thing no vampire could ever truly hold sway over:

The sands of time.

As the years passed, Vivienne could only watch helplessly as her Bastien grew older and frailer. During the end of his life, his health suffered greatly. Even upon his death bed, however, he held no animosity or resentment toward Vivienne. If anything, his eyes lit up with the same love he had for her from the very first day they met, uttering that she was still the most beautiful woman he had ever seen before quietly passing from the world soon after.

Vivienne carried his memory fondly in her heart, but Leliana knew that she had never taken another lover since then. The caution she offered---if Leliana did intend to pursue anything with Niamh---was well-warranted.

She had expected more acerbic advice from Morrigan, as they often traded barbed commentary as easily as more mundane pleasantries, but Leliana’s mood had soured instantly when the other woman voiced being tempted to feed from Niamh. Possessiveness welled within her instantly, and Morrigan was well aware of that fact as her violet lips pulled into a pointed, mocking smile. Leliana bit back her scowl even as her gums itched with the need to bare her own fangs in warning.

She didn’t want other vampires anywhere near Niamh. That her colleagues knew of her presence at all was already too much for Leliana’s instincts to bear at times despite knowing how disciplined they all were in regards to their inner nature. That was demonstrated well enough as Josie gently pressed a hand against her shoulder in an attempt to calm her.

But the damage was already done.

Irate, Leliana took her leave from her companions, departing from them all well before sunrise, which was the normal length for their interludes. She took the scenic route home, needing the distraction of the drive to better gather her thoughts, and it was just past midnight before she opened the doors to her villa.

Instantly, Leliana detected the warm, sweet scent of baked goods permeating from the kitchen, and she couldn’t help but smile to herself. It seemed Niamh was still awake. As an artist, the human woman kept hours as odd as her own at times, following in the path of whatever inspiration struck her fancy. She was gladdened for the company despite the relatively late hour, and she found herself wandering into the kitchen to find the other woman. Leliana’s lips were already parting in a greeting, but any words that could have fallen from them immediately halted within her throat.

Niamh was seated at the bar stool before the kitchen’s center island, perusing at something on her laptop while snacking on a freshly-made scone. It would have made for an innocuous enough scene were it not for the fact that the woman was garbed in a very loose dress shirt.

...only a dress shirt.

Her eyes couldn’t help but dart down, seeing how the fabric gave way to the long, bare legs that were gracefully crossed at the knee.

"Oh!"

Leliana looked up sharply to see that Niamh had noticed her in the doorway and was blinking at her in surprise before some manner of sheepishness settled into her expression. “I’m so sorry. I’m still in the middle of doing laundry downstairs, and I didn’t have much else to wear,” she explained. “Since you mentioned meeting with your colleagues this evening, I wasn’t expecting you home so soon.”

"It..." It took all of Leliana's resolve to focus solely on Niamh's face and not the expanse of flesh so close but oh so out of reach of her. It was thankfully made easy enough with the warm smile her roommate sent her way. "It ended early."

“I see! Well, welcome home in any case. Would you like any dessert?” Niamh lifted her coffee mug up to her lips as she shrugged, causing one shoulder of the dress shirt to fall, revealing more pale skin that left Leliana’s mouth dry. “Perhaps some wine? I’m sure I could warm up some of the soup I made us for lunch earlier if you’d prefer that.”

“I… no.” Leliana swallowed hard even as she felt the way her fangs began to slowly distend with sudden desire. “No, thank you. I think I’ll just head to bed. Enjoy your snack.”

“Thank you. Enjoy your rest.”

It was with great reluctance that Leliana forced herself to march upstairs to her bedroom even as her inner beast raged within the confines of her mind, outright demanding she return to the kitchen to claim what was rightfully hers. She was so busy trying to temper her instincts that she didn’t see the way in which Niamh just smiled at her back, raising her mug to her lips once more as her silver eyes flashed gold in playful amusement.

Another One Bites the Dust - Lovestruck AU Fanfic - Various Love Interests

A/N - This is a follow-up to a fic I posted last weekend when Nikolai finaled that was based on a fic @violettduchess wrote that you can read HERE. A few of you told me you enjoyed this AU where all the LIs are hanging out, so I continued it.

Warnings - None

************************

One week.

It had only been one week since Nikolai retired and joined his new family of retirees. While it was nice to be reunited with the members of the Poppy who had left before him, he couldn't help but miss his MC. He had heard that Vivienne would be starting her ninth season soon, and that in a matter of mere days he would be seeing his MC again, but it wasn't the same. It's never the same when it's not your own route.

"Are we dealing you in?" Nav asked as he shuffled the cards, breaking Nikolai from his reverie.

"Yes, I'm in," he replied, draining his champagne glass. He looked around the card table at the usual suspects. To his right, as always, was Remy. Remy was his guiding force this past week, helping him adjust to his new surroundings. Across from them sat Sevastian, the Winter Prince. Once his nemesis, he too helped often by distracting Nikolai from his thoughts. Next to Sevastian was Lyris, Sevastian's Remy. The two often bickered and quarreled, the feathered one usually needling the haughty prince. Rounding out the group was Atlas. Nikolai was warned of the pilot's grumpy nature, and had been certain to steer clear of numerous touchy subjects.

"What are we playing? Strip poker?" Sevastian asked casually as he lounged in his seat, his leg draped over the armrest.

Lyris's jaw dropped and swatted him. "That's so unfair!" he pouted while looking down at his attire. "The last time I played dressed like this, I was out after only two rounds."

Atlas grumbled and rolled his eyes. "Texas Hold 'Em...I think we all know the rules?" he asked, his eyes lingering on the prince.

"I am familiar with the rules," he scoffed. 

"No cheating," Atlas glared.

Sevastian held his arms out. He was without his usual bracers. Or fur cloak or coat, Nikolai noted. The prince must have really wanted to play, and lose, at strip poker. "See, nowhere to hide anything." Nikolai didn't care that he cheated and was sure there was a card or two hidden somewhere else. These games were an insult to his intelligence, and rather simply a distraction for him. Something to focus his mind on before it started to stray.

"Anyone have any ideas on who's joining us today? Many of my readers have said..." Nav asked while dealing the cards.

Sevastian raised a hand, silencing the Dexian. "Your sources, your readers, are they reliable?"

Nav frowned, and bit his lip while pondering the question. "I'm not really sure?"

Sevastian tsked. "And you call yourself a bounty hunter?"

"Like you know everything going on. You've been here with the rest of us punks for almost half a year now!" Atlas glanced around the table. "Where's my whiskey? And where's the cowboy? I've seen him eyeing it."

"It's right here, my friend," Remy said smoothly, as he pushed the bottle towards the pilot. "And he," Remy nodded towards Sevastian, "has a very loyal, very dedicated reader who keeps him informed of everything." Even outside of Paris, Remy continued to be in the know.

"I can hear you," Sevastian smirked. "You're just jealous." 

Remy briefly closed his eyes, ignoring the taunts. "Niko, you were recently on the calendar...you have first hand knowledge. Why don't you have the honor of informing our dear pilot here who will be joining us later." Nikolai chuckled as he remembered his conversation with Remy when he first retired. He leaned over and whispered a name into Atlas's ear, not giving the others the satisfaction.

Atlas was silent for a moment when he heard the name. No, this was impossible. This...this couldn't actually be happening. He turned to Nikolai, the genuine smile on his face confirmation that this is true. Atlas let out a bark of laughter that nearly expelled him from his seat. "Whiskey for everyone!" he proclaimed. "Today, we celebrate!"

Lyris eyed the pilot curiously. "What's got him so excited?"

"Zhora retires today," Sevastian replied. "This means his MC joins us as well, since Zhora was the final route."

Nikolai watched Atlas flitter about the room like a butterfly. It was nice to see such joy in Atlas, whose mood was often mercurial. The grumpiness, the sadness, all melting away the instant he learned he'd be seeing his MC soon. Nikolai knew this day too would come for him. When he could hold his solnishko in his arms. He could almost taste it.

"Ah, the infamous Zhora!" Remy exclaimed. "Now, is anyone going to tell me what exactly a Zhora is?"

There are 2 voices for each person because I wanted to give a range. If I have to chose 1 voice for each, Vivienne/Crimson Beatle as Sailor Uranus, Aurora/Mini Mice as Sailor Mercury, Lillian/The Hare as Jirou Kyouka, Brethold/Royal Miel as Denki Kaminari. But idk you can imagine what ever you want.
