"Us women are smarter. Now chin up, we have a job to do."

Chapter One

The air of Small Heath seemed to have a way of sticking to your skin or clothing. It left you feeling almost sticky and sweaty from the grim that would collect no matter how careful you chose to be. The people had grown used to such things and one could never be too precious about their clothing. Children seemed to run wild with their dogs and friends, men in the factories returning home covered in soot and the women trying to keep their homes cleaned to the best of their ability. Katherine Redwine had been brought up on Watery Lane and in her young mind, she believed that this was always going to be the case. “Kat, are you listening?” The annoyed voice of Ada rang through her ears pulling her attention away from the window. “Yes, of course. You were saying?” Katherine gave her friend a smile and lifted her cup of tea to her lips. It was rare that the two girls got moments like this and she didn’t mean to waste her time lost in the clouds. Ada watched Katherine with a sad smile of her own. Since the war Katherine hadn’t been the same, which she supposed was the common saying amongst the rest of the world. “I was saying that I think it is time that we get you back out there. You are a beautiful girl and I know anyone would be lucky to have you.” Ada leaned forward in her chair and crossed her ankles. “He wouldn’t want you to live like this. Pat-” “I’m alright I promise, I am just not ready. There’s still too much to do right now.” It wasn’t a complete lie. Since the men had come back home it had been a hard adjustment for her. First her brother had been killed and the man she had loved for most of her life had simply turned his back and had barely spoken a full sentence to her. And now that same man seemed to have found more trouble as if he had been fishing for it. Katherine shook her head placing the cup down back on the table giving the young Shelby woman’s hand a small squeeze. “But in the meantime I look forward to hearing all about how sweet and kind Freddie is.” At the mention of Freddie Thorne, Ada's cheeks began to flush, the usual reaction when the man was pulled into the conversation or whenever Ada told her friend of the latest escapades the two had gotten into. Katherine watched as Ada continued to talk about how much she loved Freddie and the latest times they had to meet up in secret, the forbidden romance felt like a dream she had had once. She had been so young when she first met him but those blue eyes of Thomas Shelby would forever haunt her. She was sure she would die with the image of his eyes, his smile permanently imprinted into her thoughts. She had been so angry with him, the sting of her slap across his face still stung her hand when she thought about it for too long. Of course when she had heard of what he found she wanted to try to knock some sense into him.

And now she had a sinking feeling in her gut that felt like it was growing larger and larger each time she tried to swallow. Leave it to the most clever man she knew to bring down the eye of the government, the IRA, and god knows who else by finding and taking those guns.

Thomas fucking Shelby.

Those words rang in her mind when her man had told her, they rang when she confronted Charlie Strong and Curly. And once she had left Ada making her way down the street and heard of his stunt with the Chinese in a show to gather more bets. Any time she had tried to tell Thomas that he was getting into things he had no business doing, he would tell her that it “wasn’t women’s business” and would drop it at that, leaving Katherine to stare at him in a mix of frustration and continued heartache.

Katherine began to make her way to the Garrison pub for her usual one drink with Harry giving a small nod and smile to the people she passed and in return would gain her own “Mrs. Shelby” greeting. She had grown numb to the nickname and had given up on correcting those that continued to use it and she decided to see it as a type of shield. No one fucked with the Peaky Blinders and the Shelby name went a long way in Small Heath. If Thomas had taught her anything it was to appear as calm and unbothered as possible when inside you just want to shoot something, or rather someone.

“Welcome in my lady, your usual?” Harry said, placing a glass down on the bar once Katherine had entered. She made her way to the middle of the bar and took her usual seat. “Yes please, Harry.” Katherine gave the older man a kind smile and glanced about the pub. The usual bar flies were about four glasses in and only acknowledged her with a simple nod or not at all. “How have you been Harry? Haven’t been given any trouble have you?”

“None, miss. Mostly the occasional drunkard fight but it ends well enough.” Harry placed the Irish whiskey down for the Redwine and leaned on the bar top. “You look as if you need a good drink and a good sleep.” Katherine huffed a laughed at her friend’s words and shrugged taking a sip from the amber liquid. “Don’t I always look this way?” She teased tilting her head. She had always enjoyed Harry’s company; he was kind in his own way and cared for the Garrison like it should have been. This was home and he had taken care of her when she had gotten so drunk she hadn’t been able to stand and he made sure that she would never reach that low again. He had made Katherine promise to not lose herself in her grief or heartbreak. He had been the father figure that she needed after Patrick had been killed.

“Kat, don’t bullshit me.” Harry shook his head. Katherine spun her glass slightly, his gentle but stern tone was comforting in a sense. It was the same tone he had when he found her in the private room that Thomas always used. She had broken down and cried in Harry’s arms and was more whiskey than person and she was sure her breath could have caused an explosion if she lit a match. Earlier that day they had held a service for Patrick and it had really hit her that he was gone, her big brother, her protector was nowhere to be found. Just like her Tommy, sweet happy Tommy who was able to light up a room with his smile and whose laugh was contagious seemed to have died the same night. Harry had listened as she cried and mourned the lives lost and dreams that were crushed but once she was done he picked her up and helped her upstairs and cleaned her up and put her to bed. He had banned anyone giving her any kind of alcohol in the Garrison until she was able to function. He would be damned if the sweet girl turned into one of the men he served. “I’m fine Harry, I promise.” Katherine was touched as he watched her but before he could comment the doors to the Garrison were pushed open as the one man who she couldn’t stand walked through in the most attention way he could have.

Fucking Thomas.

(It will get better I promise but let me know what you think!)

!!! The one on the left is my Fabula Ultima character, Sophistry Redwine!! She's an ex-knight who's sister secretly took Sophie's place on a suicide mission, leaving her to take up her sister's name and identity as the princess' maidservant. she lives her life feeling like a revenant, considering herself already dead, and is only staying alive so her sister is alive by proxy. she's totally a normal girl with nothing wrong with her at all.

More character design commissions! Thank you @fishing-lesbian-catgirl for the patronage!

#she may be the most emotionally fucked up character i've ever played and if you've listened to calazcon you know that's a fucking FEAT #and 32 cameo!!! i love 32. she's so good.#32 is the real world's most normal girl. she deserves the world too #'sophistry' redwine #her real name is Aquilla / Quill by the way #she doesn't use it anymore but it is very definitively her real name and real identity

_______________________________________

🇫🇷🗣️Description du Domaine 🇫🇷🗣️

La région viticole d'Alsace possède une combinaison unique de grands types de sols qui forment un véritable « kaléidoscope » de géologies. Le grès rose, les schistes bleus, le calcaire, le granit, le gypse et les roches volcaniques sont parmi les sols les plus intéressants. Nous pouvons tous les trouver sur le grand Nous pensons que le Riesling est peut-être le meilleur cépage pour traduire ces caractères dans les vins.

En 2011, Olivier Biecher et moi avons lancé le domaine exclusivement dédié aux vins Grands Crus d'Alsace. D'Andlau à Thann, nous avons découvert de nombreux vignobles intéressants, tous dotés d'un fort caractère individuel.

Aujourd'hui Sophie et moi faisons de notre mieux pour intégrer toute la puissance du vignoble dans le style de vin que nous aimons !

Une cave dédiée aux vins Grands Crus.

Au pied des collines des Vosges, juste en contrebas du château du Haut-Koenigsbourg, nous avons implanté notre cave à vin dans le village de Saint-Hippolyte.

Tous vendangés à la main, les raisins sont soigneusement triés et passent délicatement au pressoir pneumatique. Un pressurage long d'au moins 12 heures est nécessaire pour extraire le meilleur jus possible sans trop pousser.Après décantation à basse température, le jus entame une longue fermentation alcoolique (levure sauvage) qui peut durer jusqu'à 4 mois.Aucun soufre n'est ajouté avant le printemps suivant et ce pour laisser le vin s'ouvrir le plus possible. Le résultat est un vin moins sensible à l'oxydation et beaucoup plus aromatique.

The soil of Rosacker is dominated by limestones (fossil ammonites) almost entirely dolomitized, marls of varied colors and compact dolomites. the soils are rich in nutrients with calcium and magnesium, clayey and heavy in texture, with limestone and dolomite pebbles. This 40-year-old vineyard is located north of Hunawihr, a small village located between Ribeauvillé and Riquewihr, at a distance of altitude between 260 and 330 meters and facing east-southeast.

A nice length in the mouth with a finish of citrus notes (lemon, grapefruit, mandarin) which brings a nice tension that makes you salivate.

📜In summary📜:

A beautiful Riesling vintage which has magnificent aging potential between 20 and 25 years. Very ripe fruit, roundness, delicate notes of flowers and stone fruits. Coated by a beautiful tension. The ideal recipe for a very beautiful Riesling.

🔞“Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health, consume in moderation”🔞Most

wines were tasted and spat out. Unpaid tasting.

_____________________________________

🇬🇧🗣️Domain Description 🇬🇧🗣️

The Alsace wine region has a unique combination of major soil types that form a true “kaleidoscope” of geologies. Pink sandstone, blue shales, limestone, granite, gypsum and volcanic rocks are some of the most interesting soils. We can find them all on the big one. We think Riesling is perhaps the best grape variety to translate these characters into wines.

In 2011, Olivier Biecher and I launched the estate exclusively dedicated to Grands Crus wines from Alsace. From Andlau to Thann, we discovered many interesting vineyards, all with a strong individual character.

Today Sophie and I are doing our best to integrate all the power of the vineyard into the style of wine we love!

A cellar dedicated to Grands Crus wines.

At the foot of the Vosges hills, just below the Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg, we have set up our wine cellar in the village of Saint-Hippolyte.

All harvested by hand, the grapes are carefully sorted and delicately passed through a pneumatic press. A long pressing of at least 12 hours is necessary to extract the best possible juice without pushing too much. After decanting at low temperature, the juice begins a long alcoholic fermentation (wild yeast) which can last up to 4 months. No sulfur n is added before the following spring to let the wine open up as much as possible. The result is a wine less sensitive to oxidation and much more aromatic.

Una bella persistenza in bocca con un finale di note agrumate (limone, pompelmo, mandarino) che portano una bella tensione che fa venire l'acquolina in bocca.

📜In sintesi📜:

Una bellissima annata di Riesling che ha un magnifico potenziale di invecchiamento tra i 20 ei 25 anni. Frutta molto matura, rotondità, delicate note di fiori e drupacee. Rivestito da una bella tensione. La ricetta ideale per un bellissimo Riesling.

🗣️🇮🇹Descrizione i Dominio 🗣️🇮🇹

La regione vinicola dell'Alsazia presenta una combinazione unica dei principali tipi di terreno che formano un vero e proprio “caleidoscopio” di geologie. Arenaria rosa, scisti blu, calcare, granito, gesso e rocce vulcaniche sono alcuni dei terreni più interessanti. Li troviamo tutti su Big One e pensiamo che il Riesling sia forse il vitigno migliore per tradurre questi caratteri in vini.

Nel 2011, Olivier Biecher e io abbiamo lanciato la tenuta dedicata esclusivamente ai vini Grands Crus dell'Alsazia. Da Andlau a Thann abbiamo scoperto molti vigneti interessanti, tutti con un forte carattere individuale.

Oggi Sophie ed io stiamo facendo del nostro meglio per integrare tutta la potenza del vigneto nello stile di vino che amiamo!

Una cantina dedicata ai vini Grands Crus.

Ai piedi delle colline dei Vosgi, appena sotto il castello dell'Haut-Koenigsbourg, abbiamo allestito la nostra cantina nel villaggio di Saint-Hippolyte.

Tutte raccolte a mano, le uve vengono accuratamente selezionate e passate delicatamente attraverso una pressa pneumatica. Per estrarre il miglior succo possibile senza pressare troppo è necessaria una lunga pressatura di almeno 12 ore. Dopo la decantazione a bassa temperatura, il mosto inizia una lunga fermentazione alcolica (lievito selvatico) che può durare fino a 4 mesi. aggiunto prima della primavera successiva per lasciare che il vino si apra il più possibile. Il risultato è un vino meno sensibile all'ossidazione e molto più aromatico.

I read 230 books in 2017.

Down fifteen from last year...I am a math genius and initially miscounted by ten somehow, so I though I had hit 240...this was not so. The fluctuations tell you when I was studying for exams. (I’m done with all my fall exams now so I only have one scheduled for next year!) I did not make a new year’s book-of-the-month resolution and did not really expand into audiobooks more either.

What kind of relationship does Minerva have with Sophie? They seem close if she was willing to presumably risk her life by going against the king.

What a good question. Why would a maid, let alone a maid as high ranking as to serve the princess directly, risk everything including her life, to break the princess free? How close are these two?

Let me explain some things.

Well first I want to say that ‘Sophie’ Redwine is the character played by my friend @ouroborosorder. Before anyone made any characters she said she wanted to play a maid, I quickly decided I wanted to play a princess, and we both agreed to make our characters together. This was probably the most fun I ever had making characters and I cannot recommend highly enough doing collaborative character creation to make your characters have a connected backstory.

Sophistry ‘Sophie’ Redwine was a high ranking maid in the royal castle in the capital city of the Adret empire. She worked her way up from a lowly maid position all the way to becoming the personal maid of the princess, because she was really good at her job. Where she became a maid, her sister Aquila ‘Quill’ Redwine, became a knight. Quill quickly worked her way up to becoming a member of the most elite, secretive, and powerful knights of the kingdom; the Brocken Specters. As one of these elite knights, she was made to do many horrible, violent, and cruel deeds in service of the crown. After doing that for a few years, Quill realized she did not like it, and she wanted out. But this was a secretive order of knights, they wouldn’t just let her leave.

Her leader threatened that if she left or fled, they would kill her sister. They then began assigning her on more and more dangerous suicide missions. Each time she came back alive, with more rage burning inside her, and with her body more and more pushed to its limits and injured. Eventually she was assigned what was to be her final mission, a suicide mission no one would come back from alive, no matter how skilled. Quill went to see her sister one last time, and when she did she broke down and told her about the whole thing. Sophie proceeded to trick her (iirc she put something in her drink to knock her out), disguised herself as her sister, and went to die in Quill’s place. It was too late for Quill to stop her, and the only option she had left was to take her sister’s place and become a maid. She even had to attend a funeral for herself, in which everyone told her how great Quill was, and how her sacrifice for the empire would be remembered.

‘Sophie’ then lived her conflicted life, torn between wanting to live her life for her sister’s making her sacrifice worth something (and also hoping her sister might somehow live vicariously through her being the best ‘Sophie’ she could be) and between thinking her life was not worth living so that she must live for the sake of others. Regardless, she lived as ‘Sophie’ for a few years, then she witnessed as Minerva and her disagreement with her father escalated until Minerva became effectively imprisoned as punishment for defying her father. After serving Lady Minerva in her unofficial prison, for a year, whether out of pity, empathy, hope that Minerva might help her get revenge on the empire, a combination of the three, and/or some other reason entirely, she began to discuss with Minerva a plan to free her.

It took nearly 2 years to research everything, gather materials, smuggle materials into Minerva’s living quarters, contact the black market underground magic Dollmaker, and prepare the ritual. But eventually ‘Sophie’, with her dark magic that she learned as a Brocken Specter, was able to perform the extremely risky ritual on Minerva that risked obliterating her soul, and successfully implanted it in full-sized porcelain doll (ordered to look exactly how Minerva wanted bc she’s a picky princess), which she then smuggled out of the kingdom.

Doing something like that together made them accomplices, and as my fellow Otherside Picnic fans know, being accomplices is the closest kind of relationship in the world.

Since then the two began traveling together, living freely but having a vague goal of a revenge quest. Eventually they met up with the other party members, and with shared short-term goals, they began traveling together to make up our ttrpg party!

But what kind of relationship do they have? I’ve been calling it a “yuri situationship.” They have a lot of yuri moments together, but they are not at all dating. Minerva gets jealous and possessive whenever Sophie looks at another woman though.

⚠️🔞Very NSFW text below🔞⚠️:

(And here’s the secret lore: Stemming from one incident during Minerva’s recovery progress, in which the binding of her soul to the doll body progressed to the point of making the sensation of her doll pussy made her kind of insatiable, a time in which Sophie caught her in the act. Instead of reprimanding her, Sophie offered to help her out. And that just sorta kept happening, now the two of them casually cuddle together sometimes, and on occasion Sophie fucks her brains out.)

[Extra secret lore: Minerva realized soon after becoming a doll that the idea of herself being a literal object, and being treated like nothing more than that, especially in contrast to her normal spoiled pampered life, was suddenly extremely hot to her. Also as a doll she doesn’t need to breathe, she cannot bleed or bruise, and she is even immune to dark magic bc of her being undead. Meanwhile Sophie has an ever burning hatred of the empire and now has one of its royals as her personal princess fucktoy that she can take her frustrations out on. It’s kind of a perfect match, i mean it’s probably not super healthy, but they both enjoy it . And then when they’re done the next day they go back to pretending there is nothing between them. They are not really very emotionally healthy people and refuse to talk to each other about what their relationship actually is.]
