Hécate (representação da pureza e da busca pelo conhecimento): Bia Arantes

Afonso Venancio, arqueologista: Pedro Pascal.

Pietra Venancio, futura médica conselheira do chalé: Rachael Zegler.

Afonso Venâncio sempre foi apaixonado pela arte e por tudo que pudesse demonstrar, pelo menos em parte, os nuances da vida. Seus olhos brilhavam durante a faculdade de arqueologia enquanto via uma palestra sobre civilizações antigas ou quando lia sobre a arte contemporânea na sua especialização, era mágico... Ele largou tudo nos Estados Unidos para atravessar o oceano e se especializar no centro da arte, na busca incessante por novas civilizações e de expressões artisticas. Trabalhou muito em diversos países europeus antes de conseguir ter um nome importante na sua área, porém, foi quando voltou aos Estados Unidos que encontrou a deusa da magia.

Alguns podem achar que foi em uma encruzilhada ou em um ritual de magia negra... Mas não, Afonso a encontrou em uma biblioteca de uma faculdade, tranquila lendo sobre um assunto que ele iria palestrar. Eles conversaram por horas e os sorrisos não eram mais contidos, a inteligência dele e a paixão pelo que falava encantaram a deusa enquanto o jeito misterioso e profundo dela o deixou ainda mais apaixonado pela linda Donzela. Porém a paixão teve que ser cortada pela metade, afinal não demorou muito pra que voltasse que só prosperou após aquele encontro, com mais ofertas de emprego e exposições para coordenar.

Só que um belo dia a mulher voltou, com expressões mais maduras, ainda que não tivesse passado tanto tempo, e com um serzinho enrolado em um lindo cobertor de tricô. Ali na frente dele era a Mãe, que lhe explicou sobre quem era e como seus caminhos levaram a benção que era pequena menina. Afonso nunca tinha sido pai, nem sabia se queria ser, mas só de pegar Pietra no colo e ver aqueles olhinhos curiosos e apaixonados pela vida foi o suficiente par que ele se derretesse.

Nunca faltou nada parado era mais nova, só que o trabalho cobrava mais do que poderia fazer dentro de casa. Ou melhor, dentro daquele país. Afonso teve que escolher, ficar com sua pequena princesa ou continuar desbravando o mundo e conhecendo novos museus, obviamente ele voltou a ativa. Obviamente não ficava tanto tempo longe, afinal deixava sua filha sob os cuidados dos pais, mas ainda assim...

Demorou muito para que a pequena bruxinha realmente entendesse o porque não tinha uma mãe e seu pai só aparecia duas vezes ao ano.

"It's, uhh, Michael. A distant relative of mine."

PAC: ✿ Your couple archetype as Plant & Animal Spirit ✿

(Please Read My Pinned post *IMPORTANT NOTE* before selecting a Pile)

NOTE: This reading is applicable for all kinds of romantic relationships, also whether you're asking for a current/future partner. You have to decide by yourself which one you are and which one is/could be your person. I'll just be mentioning Person A and Person B.

Pick an Image by meditating and selecting the image you feel called to. You can be attracted towards more than 1 image. If you are not able to select maybe this reading isn't for you.

Pile 1

Person A - Starfish and Eucalyptus

Welcome to your reading Pile 1.

This person is very tough, personally and spiritually. This person has heightened senses and they will use this quality for their personal growth and clarity. I can see major earth, fire and water sign traits. This person can empathize well with people and they are also known for regeneration and renewal just like the starfish because the starfish can regenerate its arms by itself. By this, I mean to say that they can survive a sudden downfall in life or can handle huge hardships much better than others and they've gone through many serious hardships as well. They might be very young and successful too because they are very ambitious and a go-getter. They know how to take as well as create opportunities. They have great entrepreneurship qualities, could be doing a family business or self employed. Their height could be average or short. They are very pure and sacred. Like the Eucalyptus tree, they are very abundant, protective and strong. I love how Eucalyptus and the Starfish qualities are going hand in hand.

Person B - Unicorn and Pomegranate

Unicorns represent other worldliness, tranquility, healing powers, purity, innocence and grace. This person is very unique, they do their own thing. They might be very spiritual and calm. They don't like conflicts. They could be into any healing professions such as Reiki, crystal healing, therapy, yoga, counselling, tarot, white magic, etc.. They are someone who use the above mentioned qualities to enlighten the masses. Something is very magical, different and rare about them, either the way they look or present themselves or their approach to life. This person is very complex and full of surprises, could be witty and funny as well. This person has heavy water and air sign traits. This personal could change their hair color very much, or they change their overall style of looks and fashion every now and then. They could have average to tall height. They look very beautiful, graceful and enchanting. They could also have very beautiful hair. They look dreamy and could have very beautiful eyes. The pomegranate represents fertility, life, regeneration and marriage. This person is very passionate, fertile as well as very spiritually abundant, they could also be religious.

Connection of Person A & B

They both value spirituality equally. Person A could teach person B to persevere. Person B could ease Person A's mind by their wit and charm. Person A is a bit serious and B is more chill. They both can become a power couple. They respect each other's uniqueness and boundaries. Person A could be very protective of Person B. They would always help Person B.

This was all I got for you, my dear Pile 1.

Love, light, hope and peace to you..🌺🌻🌼

Pile 2

Person A - Caterpillar and Hawthorn

Welcome to your reading Pile 2.

This person does not look introverted from the outside but is someone who likes solitude most of the times. They are people who are tough and strong. They have a logical approach towards life and just like the caterpillar, they can break through/find their way out of any difficult circumstances. They might look fragile but are not because finally they are meant to transform into a butterfly. They can easily cut out toxic people from their life and can leave toxic situations behind for their own sake. They are not the ones to sit back and see their life unfolding before their eyes but the ones to come forward and take charge. They have good problem solving skills and they also like abstract concepts. They also seem very airy and fiery to me. They are very multi-talented and prosperous. They are very fertile and fiercely protective of their loved ones because hawthorn represents fertility and protection.

Person B - Moth and Maple

This person is full of wisdom and inner strength. They life is full of massive changes and transformations. They know that change is inevitable so they are not afraid when their life turns upside down. Like moths, they might appear dull or have dark feminine/dark masculine characteristics. They might have sharp features to their face or dark hair. Just like moths are attracted to light, they might be attracted towards beauty. Now, for every person it would be different, some are attracted to outer beauty while some are attracted to inner beauty while some, both. They are also someone who always look tired, has a lot of burden/responsibility on their shoulders because their whole life seems to go on non-stop and whatever they are doing, there's not much relaxation in it. They could also be interested in astrology and spirituality with the maple tree here and there are full of knowledge and wisdom. They are into deep conversations and don't like small talk. Very scorpionic/plutonian energy. They might also be very picky/choosy with people.

Connection of Person A & B

They would definitely be a power couple because they have the same outlook towards 'Change.' They, together would stand so strong like pillars with each other when things are bad. They would inculcate same values in their offsprings if they marry. You both could meet at workplace or you both are into the same line of work. You guys are made out of the same fabric. It is just that one has more experience than the other one(could also be superior-subordinate at work).

This was all I got for you, my dear Pile 2.

Love, light, hope and peace to you..🌺🌻🌼

Pile 3

Person A - Bear and Cactus

Welcome to your reading Pile 3.

This person is very resourceful but they could also be lazy. I'm also getting that they work out a lot and have build a lot of muscles, they have good physical strength. They could also have broad shoulders and broad chest area. From the outside, they might appear very rough and tough, but from the inside they are like a cuddly soft teddy bear. They might give the best hugs. They are very soft from the inside, might be actually very emotional too. They are also very protective of their loved ones and they stand like a protective shield for their own people and belongings. Nobody would want to mess with them. They might also have a lot of wisdom and experience. Major Taurus, Leo, Capricorn, Gemini, Libra and Pisces energy. They are known for their courage, confidence and leadership qualities. They are very practical and can come up with good solutions to problems. They might also like good food. With the cactus here, again(I need not say much), they are known for their strength, protectiveness, resilience, perseverance and endurance. Just like the Cactus, they have a strong and tough outer appearance but are soft from the inside. Their appearance might intimidate a lot of people and so people might be afraid to strike up a conversation with them.

Person B - Squirrel and Gulmohar

This person is known for its adaptability, resourcefulness, playfulness and organisational abilities. They are very clever and smart. They know all the tricks of the trade. Their movements could be very quick and fast just like the squirrel. They could also be very mischievous. They have a great foresight and it's not easy to get a hold of them. They are very active and can't get themselves to be at one place all the time. They are always doing some or the other thing, a busy bee. They like variety in life. They don't like to be boring or get bored, so they are always surrounded by people who match their craze. They like excitement, fun and travelling. Major Libra, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius energy. They could also have a great sense of humour or their humour is broken. Their physique could be petite and small but that is just a facade, don't go on their looks, they can build or bring an whole empire down with that little body. I'm also getting a cat's energy here. So much similarity. Like the gulmohar, they are very vibrant and are known for their beauty and grace.

Connection of Person A & B

Both are quite similar in resourcefulness but also quite the opposite otherwise. One is funny and the other one is serious. Tall-short couple or it could be that one is plump and the other one is skinny. Person A could be very protective of Person B. Person B will bring a lot of fun and adventure in Person A's life. Person A will show Person B that being at home can also be good too, cozy and warm. They bring different things to the table so they'll have to adjust with one another. They might have arguments sometimes but they need to look at the bright side of their relationship.

This was all I got for you, my dear Pile 3.

Love, light, hope and peace to you..🌺🌻🌼

Pile 4

Person A - Crow and Lavender

Welcome to your reading Pile 4.

This person is so clever and witchy. They always keep a poker face/resting b**** face. They might be into astrology, tarot, witchcraft, wicca, paganism and spirituality, could also be their main profession. They could also be into healing professions such as Reiki, therapy, counselling, crystal healing, etc.. They have very unique or different(different from their community) firm beliefs and a standoffish personality. People might consider them weird or awkward so this person A is misunderstood a lot. They might have heavy Gemini, Aquarius, Pisces, Scorpio, 8th House/12th House placements. They appear intimidating to some people while very intriguing to others. They have this mysterious aura around them. So much goth vibes. They are into dark humor. They could also be a bit closed off or very picky or choosy. They have this huge contrast in their personality such as they could be very secretive, shy or quiet but could also be very talkative with people close to them or they can take a stand for themselves and others. They can communicate their emotions very well. They are a good blend of logic and emotions. The crow is also associated with the third eye and crown chakra, so these people have great wisdom and intuition and can work as a spiritual medium such as a tarot card reader, shaman, tantrik, exorcist etc. They can either use their speech for enlightenment or manipulation. Lavender represents innocence, silence, purity, devotion, peace and calmness. They remain calm unless they're provoked. Purple color of lavender also represents the third eye chakra.

Person B - Sparrow and Eucalyptus

Person B This person is very positive and cheerful, very hard working, but at the same time also very chill. They know how to relax even in a busy schedule. They are very community oriented people because sparrows work in their community and they live in harmony with each other and are very social. They are a symbol of good luck, hope, joy and harmony. They could also be very funny and talkative. These people have this good blend of fire, air and earth signs. They are very sociable as well as reliable. They could have a sweet speech or could be good singers. They might also be a musician or like to play instruments. They are like a good luck charm for many people. They might also be very extroverted and sturdy. They don't give up on things easily. They are hopeful, productive and goal-oriented, very materialistic but very kind and helpful. They might even offer good advice to people. Like the eucalyptus tree, they are very strong, protective and abundant as well. They are a go getter and also strive hard to get things done. They might also like travelling a lot. Their career could be related to travel and tourism.

Connection of Person A & B

You guys are like earth and water, different from each other but you both compliment each other, you need each other. Person B could be mesmerized by Person A's mysterious aura, intuition and uniqueness. Person A could love how funny, community oriented, hard working, kind and traditional Person B is. There is a mutual respect for each other's talents and gifts. You guys balance each other well.

This was all I got for you, my dear Pile 4.

Love, light, hope and peace to you..🌺🌻🌼

♡Birth Chart Observations

♡🔹♡🔹♡🔹♡🔹♡🔹♡🔹♡🔹♡🔹♡🔹♡🔹♡🔹

✈️ Mars and Venus in the same house/in the same sign gives a captivating vibe to the native, the native is very intense and sensual, they want to experience the love at the fullest

☁️Mercury in aspects with Pluto at tight degrees makes the native to be very harshly talking when is needed, they have a sharp tongue and a sly mind

🌁Jupiter aspecting the Moon: Makes the native to be very interested in spiritually and possibly even occult things, they are very wise-talking and is always a mystery surrounding the native/the native can be also interested in their ancesorts/family tree

🌪️Mars and Uranus in negative aspects natives are people who come to spill the tea - like they are not afraid to talk about random and unusual, you can literally talk about everything with them and the conversation can be so interesting

🎑Moon aspecting the ascendant makes the native to be very sensitive aswell, is a pretty placement to have related to beauty, but there are other meanings to these of course, the native can be very soft and very kind (in some cases extremely kind) to people, and also gives innocent vibes, like you know they are so angelic 🪽

🌬️ Venusian Moons (Taurus and Libra Moons) are giving IT vibes, expensive and pretty is their thing, they have such a beautiful aesthetic and style, their vibe is so comforting

🌇 Saturnian Risings [Cap and Aqua Risings] had to be mature from such a young age, because of the lessons they had to learn in the young ages of their lives, it wasn't always easy, honey wanna tell you something if you think Saturn is harsh with you and the way your life is, it is because that is a lessons that needs to be learned, so you can prosper after you succeed. Saturn takes care even if you think is harsh/difficult to have it as your chart ruler 🌹

🌼 Sagittarius Placements can be brutally honest, if you want a good honest advice for something check someone with prominent Sag Placements. Especially Sag Mercury and Sag Sun

🥀 Sun and Moon in negative aspects can show that the native did not get enough love or attention from their parents and could possibly mean that one of their parents was absent either unavailable (emotionally or physically)

✨ Ascendant aspecting Uranus can change their style very often, they can find their style pretty unique from other people and sometimes can happen random to make/do something about your style or look

🌎 Having an Earth Sun and in Earth Degrees aswell makes the native to be more nurturing and so beautiful, earth is a solid element for beauty, having this double earth energy in your chart can make you more grounded (even connected to mother earth and nature)

🤍 Underatted Romantic Placements for 7th house ruler

7th house ruler in the 5th house or vice versa

7th house ruler in the 11th house or vice versa

7th house ruler in the 12th house or vice versa

💥 There is so much drama around the 7th house ruler in the 12th house like is an apocalypse, anyway is just very much misconception about these 2. Your relationship/spouse can be highly spiritual and so intuitive, most times having this gives extremely karmic vibes, and even twin flame energy, let's not talk about the 12th house is the house of Pisces and your spouse can be so romantic and deeply in love

🕊️ Recently i discovered that the natives with Sun in the 12th house suffered emotionally so much in a past life, i was reading a post about how 12th house placements show how your past life was and the Sun was there, you can find yourself being pretty sensbile and very soft in this lifetime and is perfectly fine to be like because your soul is a sensitive one

🌟 Sagittarius/Aquarius in the 4th house can change their home pretty often, and they like the idea of living away from their family like living in a foreign country or somewhere in foreign lands

Having Pisces/Scorpio or Aquarius in the 2nd house makes you to like cold types of food/drinks more than others, like ice cream or cold juices/ice tea etc 🧊

Aries, Sagittarius/Leo, And Gemini in the 2nd house on the other side like warm types of food and drinks, like hot chocolate, hot coffee, with Aries in the 2nd house you might also like spicy food or seasoning food 🌶️

Uranus in Pisces Generation [2003 - 2010] can be highly intuitive and spiritual, they can get into spirituality later in life but still can enjoy it from a young age. They are into mysticism/unseen things of our world 🌎(If Uranus is placed in the 1st/12th/2nd/10th it can have more influence over the natives life)

✈️🌎✈️🌎✈️🌎✈️🌎✈️🌎✈️🌎✈️🌎✈️🌎✈️🌎

♡🔹♡🔹♡🔹♡🔹♡🔹♡🔹♡🔹♡🔹♡🔹♡🔹♡🔹

A new post ✈️🌎 with airplanes/sky influence for y'all 💅🏼, do you like to watch the airplanes? They hold a lot of nostalgia for me personally ✈️

Hope everyone reading this is fine and safe with the people they love and never ever forget to have fun and to enjoy the life at the fullest 💖, with the time we realise that life can sometimes have precious and unique moments who need to hold in our hearts 💕 so we can remember them forever ♾️💕♾️

Meet Valentino🦋☠️

Meet my take on Valentino! This one took the longest for me to get around to.

Made him a Monarch Butterfly!🦋 I love the whole reverse Predator and Prey thing going on with him and Angel so what if he was a creature that would normally be considered Prey, if it didn’t have its own trick up its sleeve. Poison! ☠️ plus butterflies are often depicted as sweet and pretty, which would really lean into how he puts on a sweet face to hide his true colors.😈Though who’s to say he even is that(wink😉). Made his wings a warm gradient, added some sparkle ✨ and allude subtly to a split heart with the lines and dots💔 @the-burd-lord also pointed out they give off tears💧😢

Gave him a more bug like head, mouth, eyes and only has three fingers.

Gave him heart bent stripes like Angel Dust(@a-sterling-rose shared a cool idea that an overlord can change their contracted souls) wanted it to allude to bee stripes(bees love flowers and make sweet things) and other…striped insects.

Leaned with 70’s, DISCO !!!!!!!🕺🪩💃 Bell bottoms, matching top, PLATFORMS! The whole works! I figure it fits with his timeline a lot and with what he’s usually wearing. Plus he’s def into the club scene.

Replaced his top hat with a heart shaped fedora hat! Adorned it with all kinds of different flowers!!!!! Stuff like roses, Bleeding hearts, milkweed and the big flower he’s wearing is meant to allude to the Cattleya Orchid(Colombias national flower and symbolizes fertility and virility) roses are also very popular there! They even have a holiday around flowers called the “festival of the flowers”!🌼🌹.

For his sleeves wanted to allude to another Colombia flower “devils breath” highly toxic flower and in the same toxic family as the “Angels Trumpet”. Also a street term for the dangerous drug, scopolamine which is derived from the seeds of Borrachero trees, primarily found in South America like Colombia! 🇨🇴

Kept the heart buckle belt his og had but made it hollow. Hollow heart.

Gave him a cane that’s also a disco heart 🪩❤️which may not be able to squeeze out toxic gas and other tricks.

For his color scheme, @the-burd-lord suggested I'd go with RGB theme, colors on display screen(Vox is the leader and a screen) Ngl I was conflicted what colors to go with for the vees(Primary, Red blue purple etc). But then I realized when u mix those colors u get those other colors and then I decided to give the Vees two main color themes for each. One for show, the other their true colors! Val likes to use tropical warm welcoming colors(gold luxury), def still uses red for its sensual vibes….but those kinda colors are also color of many dangerous insects…warning colors⚠️‼️☣️☢️☠️☠️☠️

Made his Heart shades butterfly wing shaped like @lovesart23 did with her Val! Seriously LOVE IT!!!!!!!.

Added a heart on his chain with his initial. Was a gift from Angel Dust💔

Also wears black and white since he’s already very colorful and to appear clean with the white…the darkness often hiding under. Has some green for the leaves and thorns(every rose has its thorns) like how Velvette still wears gold colors for accesory!🍃🌿

My Valentino’s Colombian 🇨🇴 back in the 70’s a lot was happening with Drug trade(Cocaine trade) plus it’s in the warmer area of South America, where many butterflies can be found🦋🦋🦋Monarchs migrate to the south! Also great place for flowers🌹🪻🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼💐🪷

with the flowers also lowkey trying to allude with 60’s-70’s Flower power(he def likes to seem all peace and love) was also the time of the psychedelic era😵‍💫U know he def got that stuff.

Rewrite🦋☠️

Compared to OG he’s def more sly and smooth talking, often Make him ironically the more level headed of the V’s. Have him be able to keep a cool head more, try to covert his true nature, keep things under control. Play into how he likes to try a more pragmatic approach, relying on manipulation and pacifying first before getting violent if he feels like he’s not in control. They say u attract more flies with honey than vinegar afterall. he’s able to put on the charm and sweetness well enough. You do NOT want to get on his scary side…He relies a lot on manipulation but when push comes to shove, he can mess you UP☠️!!!!!!!

Leaning with the poison theme way more!☠️💊🧪.

He doesn’t just do Adult Entertainment, but also a huge drug supplier for Hell, especially for Angel💊. It’s been implied and supposed scrapped ideas and concepts have shown him feeding Angels drug addiction.

Have him be Angels main supplier and often uses his addiction to keep him under his wings, depend on him, likes to feed into it despite how much harm it does for him. He’s basically the embodiment of toxicity/addiction, things that can poison people, can become dangerous addictions and mess people up. He’s basically one of Angel’s most dangerous addictions, the toxic abusive boss/partner☠️

I honestly want him to want NOTHING with Vox’s whole revenge plan with Alastor and his new project…until he also realizes the Princess not only actually wants to help Angel but that Angel ACTUALLY might want to try to QUIT! Than he gets more involved with Vox’s schemes.

Gets his main poison from a special flower from Hell. Similar to how Monarchs get their poison from a certain plant(milkweed) as well as play into how Butterflies feed on nectar🌺🌸 perhaps has the flowers growing all throughout his studio…especially around and maybe even in Angel’s dressing room…

What do u think? How would u redesign Val if u wanted to? I’d love to know💖 I’ve also made the 🌈Hazbin Gang🌈 and his fellow VV’s, Vox & Velvette📺🧶

Oh one more thing…He’s not actually a monarch butterfly. Here’s some totally unrelated pics of wasps(one like the executioner wasp that can be found in warm places, like monarchs, spider wasps(not friendly to spiders) and….some more parasitic types)Warnign scary wasp pics) @the-burd-lord suggested the mandibles for his face(broken heart 💔)

Lani's Birthday Oneshots: 2024 🧁

As per tradition, today is my birthday and as a gift to you, I present a HP ONESHOT REC LIST to celebrate 🥳! Here are 15 oneshots, under 10k words (mostly), one for each day in June leading up to my birthday. Lots of genres, lots of tropes, ordered by ship (kinda).

🌼 - fluff | 💔 - angst | 🔥 - smut

—

1. The Pirc Defence by @sleepstxtic [Draco/Harry, E, 10k] ♟️❣️ This fic is brilliant!! Masterful, even. Kat does it again with the intriguing plot, the deeply intense relationships, and strongly lovable characters. This is the chess rivals to lovers fic that everyone deserves and needs to read RIGHT NOW.

2. Nightswimming by @sweet-s0rr0w [Draco/Ron, established Draco/Harry, M, 5k] 🔥🌃 This fic is delicious. Searing hot anticipation. That feeling right before the climax, the first spark of the match before the fire is fully lit. Exquisite. I just want to bask in it.

3. Postcards Of A Life Well Lived by @ghaniblue [Luna/Draco/Harry, M, 950] 🌼🦋 Georgeous slice of life. I love the dynamic between the three, weaving in and out of each others' lives. Luna is a gem.

4. This Tree Grows from Ash and Dust by @wellhalesbells [Dudley/Draco, M, 9k] 💔♣️ This fic is rife with tension. The Drudley dynamic sucks you right in and with unrequited Drarry in the background! I cannot get enough.

5. Different by @camelliacats [Nigel/Colin, T, 10k] 🌼💔 Canon-compliant how Nigel falls in love with his best friend's brother. Teen romance, first loves, and all the wonderful complicated feelings that come along with it.

6. self-made by @onewhodiedyoung [Cho/Ginny, T, 3k] 💔🦢 Beautiful post-war story. Ginny grappling with her identity and who she is after everything. Cho knowing and supporting and growing.

7. My Kink Is Karma by @chaos-bear [Lavender/Gilderoy, E, 3k] 🔥🤣 What a pairing!! Hilarious fic with some hot and then awkward smut. But absolutely perfect.

8. thorns, in amber by @thisisdecemberista [Sirius/Lily, established James/Lily, E, 5k] 💔🔥 God, this fic. The infidelity angst mixed with war mixed with their all-consuming love for James. A whirlwind of emotions that had me in a death grip. So so good.

9. Bouquet by sky_watcher_rose [Minerva/Poppy, T, 3k] 🌼💐 So sweet, so lovely! A professors getting together story that melts my heart. I always knew Minerva was a sweetheart beneath that strict exterior.

10. the end of illusions (who could ever be saved) by lovelit [Tom/Percy, E, 3k] 🦁🐍 Percy discovers Tom's diary and things spiral from there. I absolutely adore Percy in this: hardworking, overlooked, and just seeking a friend.

11. Come Slowly, Eden by Paimpont [Voldemort/Molly, M, 3k] 💔🥧 A pairing that at first glace seems incongruous but actually works so well! Molly showing Voldemort kindness, and him showing her family mercy. *chef's kiss*

12. Tom Riddle Sr. by @limetameta [Tom & Tom Sr, T, 4k] 💔🏡 A Tom Riddle Sr. character study in which he raises Tom on his own. Voldemort is so much the same, and so much different. I would read so much more of this universe.

13. Unfinished by @turanga4 [Fat Friar & Harry, T, 1k] 💔🌙 Grief, love, and loss. A lovely, heartfelt look into the aftermath of the BOH and Harry finding comfort in Hogwarts.

14. Through the Sleepless Night by @mugsdontlie [Mundungus & Arabella, T, 2k] 🌼🐈 I love friendship fics and I love their friendship here! Mugs is the master of rare pair dynamics. There's such familiarity between the characters. It feels so real and the perfect backdrop to canon.

15. Sexy Gobs by @emilyrickman [Lighning Era & Professors, T, 650] 🌼📝 Hilarious and so creative. The formatting is insane! But I'm most impressed by creating a cohesive story simply from a couple of post-it notes.

BONUS FIC (>10k): Wit Beyond Measure by @midnightstargazer [Unrequited Bloody Baron/Grey Lady, T, 14k] 💔👑 Stunning, amazing fic showcasing Helena Ravenclaw. Struggling under the expectations of her mother, leaving to find herself, and returning to safeguard the castle's students. I love the depth, the fleshed-out insight we get into her character!

[mila-beedoodling]

« Marinette ran, and ran, and ran, past the fenced pathways lined with trees and benches, past the people and the families on the benches, up the stone steps into the Alpine Garden, round and round the winding pathways until she was out of breath and her sides ached and her cheeks were dry and salty and she couldn’t see where she came from anymore and then she ran some more, until her foot hit a stone and she pitched forward, tumbling down, down, down into a bed of yellow flowers. Marinette pushed herself up onto her elbows, surveying the damage. The flowers she’d landed on were crushed, their petals bruised and stems flattened. A few inches away was a little green sign poking out of the ground, informing her of exactly what she’d just destroyed: Ranunculus Adoneus (Alpine Buttercup) Of course they were buttercups. Clumsy, awkward, Marinette, so caught up in her own problems that she hadn’t seen the rocks in her path, tripped and fell and trampled on the flowers. Of course. Maladroit Marinette, destroying something beautiful before she’d had a chance to appreciate it. Blundering, ham-handed Marinette, making a mess of everything she touched. Inconsiderate, thoughtless Marinette, who’d tried to make her team stronger and ended up tearing it apart. Who’d tried to fix her partnership and somehow made it worse. Marinette dropped her head back down in defeat. Maybe if she just laid here in the dirt, she wouldn’t ruin anything else. »

So @bittersweetresilience was doing a liveblogging of team is a four letter word by @ladyofthenoodle and just like everytime i read it i was going insane for Marinette just tripping on top of the buttercups, she's pretty, she's pathetic, she had her good reasons but everything went wrong. I just love the way Noodles writes her<3

Okay! 💓Could you write something about married couple and s/o wants a baby so bad. But baekhyun is not ready or confused idk. He doesn't want it for now. Reader is really disappointed and sad. She loves babies so much and can't wait have one. But baekhyun's reaction (angry or annoying) is made her angry/sad. A big fight but a happy end please. 🥺🥺 (maybe some tears too)

If it is not okay for you then no problem! 🌼

Thank you 💓

Hope you like this, anon 💖 Pairing: Byun Baekhyun x Reader Word Count: 1.7k Genre: Angst and Fluff Warnings: None that I can think of

The evening had been lovely. You and your husband, Baekhyun, had spent it strolling through the tree lined park near your home. It was verging on autumn and there was a slight chill in the air, but the full cold of fall hadn’t hit yet. The sun had almost completely set but it wasn’t fully dark yet. You two were holding hands and chatting about how your days had been. 

You were recently unemployed, having left your job as a nurse due to increasing stress and anxiety. Currently, you were playing full time homemaker so that meant you were home alone all day while Baekhyun was at work at a consultancy firm. The days were long but fulfilling. You tried your best to keep yourself occupied, trying new recipes, as well as arts and crafts, reading and writing and regular exercise. The break was nice and it had you contemplating what you really wanted to do with your life, where your true priorities lay.

“Actually, I wanted to talk to you about something,” you said. Baekhyun had just finished telling you about a new project he was taking on at work, and all the responsibilities that were going to come along with it. He loved his job but you knew how demanding it could be, keeping him at the office for long hours. Thankfully he was paid generously for his hard work.

“What is it?” He looked at you and squeezed your hand a little. 

“Well, I was thinking since I’m home now and we’re settled, it might be the perfect time to start trying for a baby. We finally have the time and space for it.”

Baekhyun snorted. “Right. Very funny.”

He kept on walking beside you. You didn’t know what you expected his reaction to be but it certainly wasn’t that. Why would he think you were joking about something like this? “I’m being serious, Baek. Let’s start a family.” 

Baekhyun said nothing for a few moments and you waited in tense silence, listening to the gravel crunching under your shoes. This conversation was already not going the way you had anticipated.

“YN, babe, I’ve just spent the last ten minutes telling you about the new client and how I’m project leader and all the extra hours of work I’m going to be taking on and you come back with this?”

“I’m not saying it’s going to be easy. And I know how hard you’re working and I appreciate it so much, especially now. But this is important too.”

Baekhyun scoffed and you felt hurt. “It’s out of the question,” he said, his tone one of finality. 

“What? We can’t even talk about it?”

“There’s nothing to talk about. There’s no way we can have a baby right now.” He was dismissing you and you felt enraged all of a sudden.

You pulled your hand out of his. “Why are you being so cold?” You had to work to keep your voice even. You weren’t trying to make a scene, there were couples, families, children milling about the place enjoying the evening and you didn’t need to be the story they talked about as they got home.

“I’m not doing this here,” he said, testily. 

Annoyed, you began walking ahead of him, back towards the home you shared. You arrived and Baekhyun followed soon after, a look of irritation on his face. “You’re being childish leaving me behind like that.”

“I’m childish? You won’t even talk to me!” 

“I told you what I thought.”

“No, you made a decision for the both of us and then acted like I was the unreasonable one for having an issue with that. Do you not want to have kids with me?”

“All I said was not now,” he said, his teeth gritted. He was angry, a rare sight, and seeing him angry only made you more angry.

“What do you mean, not now? We’re both in our thirties, Baek! It’s not like we’re in our early twenties anymore with all the time in the world to wait. It only gets harder the older you get.”

“So what? If it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t happen,” Baekhyun shot back and your jaw dropped.

“Are you fucking kidding me right now? I’ve always said I’ve wanted kids. You know this. You said you wanted them too when we got married. And now this? What the fuck, Baekhyun?”

“Don’t you get it, YN? I have enough going on right now as it is. Work is insane, I’m having to work longer and longer hours, take on all these new responsibilities. You quit your job so I have to keep everything afloat financially all by myself. And now you want this?”

Your eyes widened, tears filling them at his words. It felt like he’d slapped you. He’d never made you feel guilty for not working. When you left your job, Baekhyun had been nothing but kind and supportive, telling you that he had everything handled and that you should take your time to decide when and even if you wanted to return to work, that you had nothing to worry about.

The hurt on your face made Baekhyun soften. He tried to walk back his statement, “I didn’t mean it like that… I just meant-”

“Forget it. Just forget I said anything. I’m going to bed,” you said, your voice even. You turned to and began walking down the hallway. You heard your husband calling for your attention but you ignored him. After you had washed up, you got in bed and began to cry silent tears alone. How had it all gone so wrong?

Baekhyun entered the bedroom about an hour later. You closed your eyes as he came in, pretending to be asleep on your tear soaked pillowcase. You were in no mood to talk to him right now.

“YN,” you heard him say from behind you. You pretended you didn’t hear him, staying as still as you could, hoping he would think you were asleep and leave you alone. No such luck. When Baekhyun wanted to talk, he was relentless about it.

“YN, come on…” he said, approaching you from behind. “I know you’re not asleep.” He put his hand on your shoulder and jiggled you lightly.

You turned onto your back and looked up at him with swollen eyes and lips. It was clear that you had been crying this whole time and that broke his heart. He hated seeing you cry more than anything.

“Baby, don’t cry,” Baekhyun said softly. He produced a bouquet of sad looking carnations from behind his back and held it out to you. “Sorry, I know they’re not great but I got them at the gas station. They’re all I could get at this time of night.”

You sat up against the headboard of your bed and said nothing, but you took the bouquet in your hand, fingering the petals of the flowers.

Baekhyun sat down beside you facing you. “I want to apologize for what I said earlier. I never meant to make it sound like I blame you for any stress I’m feeling. And I love having you not work to be honest. I love the fact that you’re always there when I come home, that we get to spend so much more time together.”

You put the flowers down beside you and took his hand in yours. “I appreciate that.” You gave him a sad smile. It obviously didn’t heal your heart but you appreciated his effort in trying to comfort you. Baekhyun was the only man you’d ever been with who actually gave a shit if you cried. 

“I’m sorry too. I know you’ve been under a lot of pressure at work and you’ve been so amazing and patient with me. I should’ve brought it up at another time.”

“No. The thing is… you’re actually right. It is something we should be talking about. We’re not getting younger. I just…” He trailed off.

You leaned forward and put a hand on his cheek, stroking it gently. “Talk to me, baby.”

“I’m scared shitless. The idea of being a father fucking terrifies me. Being responsible for a human life. Making sure he or she grows up and is healthy and happy and all the good things. How the fuck am I supposed to do that? What if I fuck it all up?”

You almost giggled but you held it back. You definitely didn’t want to demean Baekhyun’s feelings but the fact that he even thought for a second he might not be a good father was just so ludicrous. He was the most kind and loving person you’d ever met. Any child would be lucky to have him as a father.

“Baekhyun… It’s normal to be scared about being a parent. I am too. But we can’t let it paralyze us.”

Baekhyun sighed, “I know but… It’s a life, you know? It’s forever. It’s not something we can try out for a few months and then decide to get rid of it if we don’t want it.”

“You’re right. But like… I think it’s one of those things where you just have to dive right in. Delaying this forever isn’t going to help.”

He looked up at you with his Bambi eyes and you looked back at him. He looked so young and sweet faced, he definitely didn’t look like a man in his thirties. But he looked tired. Maybe you’d been too preoccupied with what you wanted that you hadn’t realised sometimes he needed you to build up his confidence the way he always did yours.

“Baekhyun, you’re going to be the most amazing father. I’m sure of it. You’re so filled with love and so patient and smart and gentle. Not to mention your child-like spirit.”

He laughed at that, and you smiled.

“Besides, we’re going to be doing it together. It’s a team effort. We can lean on each other like we always do.”

Baekhyun leaned forward and kissed you on the lips. “I like the sound of that.” He pulled you closer to him and wrapped his arms around you. The warmth of his body was so comforting and you leaned into him, breathing in his familiar scent. “So, we’re really going to have a baby, hmm?” He said, softly.

“I mean, we’re going to try.”

“Trying sounds fun. Let’s try right now,” Baekhyun said, kissing you again.

Bad Omen

Written for @zablife ‘s 2k celebration: “Tommy has eloped with a young bride the family has deemed untrustworthy from reputable sources. The couple has just returned from their honeymoon in Paris and now the new Mrs. Shelby would like to meet those closest to him. The couple spares no expense for their lovely housewarming party, but it's ill-fated from the beginning as those Tommy holds near and dear try to run her off with tales of horror. Every room holds a surprise and each guest a secret, but what could they be?” Congrats again, darling🤍🌼

Warnings: mentions of death.

Dividers credit

They didn’t like her.

An hour into the party, (Y/n) was sure of one thing: the Shelbys didn’t like her. Her husband had warned her that they might be a bit wary at first, that they would need some time to warm up to her, that they would eventually take her in, but she knew that wasn’t going to happen. They didn’t want her in the family. Something told her that even before meeting her, they had already made up their mind. And now all of her efforts to make a good impression felt useless.

Everything had been planned down to the last detail. The decorations, the food, the soft music playing in the background. (Y/n) had personally made sure that nothing was out of place, or left to chance. That night had to be perfect. But what she had not bargained for was that even she couldn’t control the weather. A furious storm raged outside, the rain lashed at the windows so heavily that it was almost impossible to distinguish what was happening on the other side of the glass. The wind howled through the trees, dangerously swaying their branches, and the lighting flashing across the night sky cast an eerie light over the house, giving it a grim, somber look.

The lights flickered in the big room, making the hum of voices fade into silence. They flickered a second time, then a third, then everything went dark. (Y/n) instinctively grabbed Tommy’s arm, nestling closer to his strong frame.

“It’s just the storm, love.” He whispered in her ear. “Just the storm.”

In another occasion his husky voice would’ve been enough to reassure her, but the whole situation made it impossible for her to relax. The thunderstorm, the unreadable glances the family kept on sending her, the tense atmosphere.

When Polly slipped her arm through her own and asked her with honey-sweet voice to go grab some more candles with her, her request feeling more like an order, (Y/n) knew she couldn’t refuse. The matriarch had been watching her all the time, and it felt like her piercing dark eyes could read right into her soul, searching for a weakness, a flaw. A secret.

With a candle in her hand, Polly guided her up the imposing staircase and down the hallway, their steps echoing on the wooden floor. The older woman pushed a door open, and (Y/n) immediately recognised the small study. In the short time she had moved into the mansion, she had only been in that room a few times. For some reason, she didn’t like it. It was dark, and cold, and it made her feel uneasy somehow. They stepped further into the study, the floor creaking underneath their feet.

A loud bang made (Y/n) jump in surprise, and when she turned around the door was closed. Polly, on the other hand, was completely unfazed. She shrugged, placing the candle on a small table. “It’s the wind, love.”

(Y/n) nodded, taking a deep breath. It was the wind. Just the wind. There was no need to be paranoid.

The room fell silent again, and she suddenly realised that it had stopped raining. Hopefully the power would come back soon. She walked up to the window with slow steps, an unfamiliar nervousness taking over her. She pushed the burgundy curtain aside, then wiped the foggy glass with her hand, squinting her eyes. Something croaked outside, making her take a step back. A crow was perched on the branch of a tree, and she could’ve sworn that his glistening little eyes were staring at her.

“A bad omen.” Polly’s voice came to her ears, pulling her out of her thoughts.

(Y/n) shifted her gaze from the crow to Polly, then to the crow again. He was still looking. Shivering, she walked away from the window, eager to find the candles and get out of that room. But then something else caught her eye. On a dresser, there were the roses that Tommy had gifted her that morning. But the flowers, which up until a few hours before were lush and brilliant, were now withered. Their scent was gone and their vibrant colours had faded to grey. She ran a finger on the dry petals, furrowing her brows in confusion.

“Is there something wrong?”

Polly’s abrupt question startled her again. She was a few steps behind her, carefully observing her. (Y/n) gulped, shaking her head. “No. No, it’s fine.”

The woman nodded, going back to what she was doing.

(Y/n) hastily opened one of the drawers, and she exhaled a breath of relief when she saw a few candles and a box of matches. However, it was a brown leather book which grabbed her attention. When she pulled it out, she realised it was not a book, rather a diary. She lit one of the candles and placed it on the wooden surface so that she could see what it was about. She flipped through the pages, but the handwriting was so messy that she couldn’t quite decipher what was written in the diary, nor understand who it belonged to. Just a few words stood out, a few terrifying words. Curse. Devil. It’s with Shelbys. It’s in the blood. Something slipped from between the pages and fell at her feet. It was a card. No, it was a tarot. Death.

A chill ran through her spine, and her body froze in place as the Grim Reaper stared at her from the ground. The crow croaked again, louder, but now he was right outside the window, looking inside. He slightly tilted his head, then, as if scared by something, he flapped his wings and flew away.

“A bad omen indeed.” Polly murmured, glancing at the tarot. (Y/n)’s heart was pounding so hard in her chest that she hadn’t even heard her coming by her side.

Not showing the slightest hint of discomfort, the older woman crouched to grab the card and put it back in its place. Still frozen, as if she had no control over her limbs anymore, (Y/n) let her take the diary, which seemed to have become as heavy as a stone, and watched as she placed it in the drawer.

As if she had just noticed the horrified expression on the younger woman’s face, Polly gave her a sweet smile, bringing a cold hand on her face to gently caress it. Then she leaned in, and the chilling words she whispered in her ear held nothing of the gentleness she had just shown her.

“Don’t believe his lies.”

So apparently I can’t move my body due to this PAIN I have on my side so-

🌼Marigold Cookie🌼

Gender: female

Pronouns: she/her

Age: Unknown but estimated to be around 35 (due to her powers not fully controlled she looks like a young adult)

Pet: Cream Cat

Dislikes: anything related to her past, anything that can bring her trauma up, fighting (war), the boogie man that she thinks lives under the bed or in the closet

Likes: The family she has now, her friends, flowers, herb tea, fairy tales, sweet food (especially cake)

[CRK type]

Support/Rear

[CRK skill]

The changing nature

Depending on the teams HP the skill’s power will change. If the team’s HP is above 50% Marigold Cookie will heal her team and while protecting them by creating a wall of vine and flowers between the team and monsters/other team. If the team’s Hp is below 50% Marigold will panic causing her powers to attack the other team by attacking them with vines while releasing sleeping gas that will inflict a sleeping debuff onto them.

[CROB skill]

Marigold will start to grow plants using her powers destroying obstacles along the way. The obstacles that get destroyed will turn into flower jellies for Marigold to collect. Once she grows up to 4 plants Marigold will let her power burst out causing all obstacles in the screen to turn into flower jellies.

[Description]

Fragile as a flower and timid as a mouse, Marigold cookie sells flowers the best she can in her small flower shop located in Parfaedia. Everyone was afraid of her first due to her powers but with the help of her friends and new family her flowers are now popular among the magic city’s citizens. Kind to everyone and always trying her best Marigold works hard to make her customers happy. Although her powers can be dangerous when she’s feeling bad, everyone can’t help but smile when they see flowers bloom in her hair and around her when she’s happy.

[Headcanons]

-Her past is so bad that probably tumblr would ban me BUT I will say that when she was still with her original family she was the slave, punching bag, experimental rodent, target, etc. Also she had her only favorite book destroyed in front of her, had her hair cut in the worst way, and her kitten thrown into the witch’s kitchen. In front of her, from a window. So yeah. EXTREMELY TRAUMATIC PAST. did I also say her family was a cult that praised DE and brainwashed her?

-Her powers were from millennial tree cookie. She only started to used them when was a teen and when she did things got worst for her.

-She met Almond when she was in the middle of a mental breakdown causing life to wither away around her shop and vines to grow all over inside her shop (And also Almond was the first person ever to hug her-)

-All the household chores and cooking she did ever since she was 3 grew her into a master housekeeper/5 star chef.

-Every time she’s happy flowers would bloom a bit around her. When she’s with Almond flowers would bloom around her AND on her head.

-She’s taking lessons from Latte on how to control her powers

-actually a very powerful healer

-She doesn’t like causing trouble to the point where she could be extremely selfless at times

-The dress she always wears was actually from Honey Mead Cookie and it’s from a very high end brand. Marigold doesn’t know this though.

-She would sometimes take lunch directly to Almond since they work a few minutes away from each other.

-Since she’s brainwashed and lived with a closed off cult… She doesn’t know what’s normal or common sense. Example: she thought only people who are worthy had birthdays and that she didn’t have one.

-SHE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS.

-She still believes in the boogie man

[Lines]

“I-is there anything I c-can do for you…?”

“I-I-I’m so sorry…!!”

“Almond Cookie…! -flowers bloom in her hair-“

“L-Let me heal you.”

Heartcatch Pretty Cure! Origin Story

💐🩷🌸🌎💙🌼🌊💛🌻☀️💜🌹🌕💐

Hana Ange was born in the year 7784 BCE, a hundred years after Mother Heart's birth. On that day, while Mother Heart was safeguarding Mobius, she noticed a strange object heading towards them. She attempted to destroy it, but Vanessa intervened, telling her to let her handle it. Vanessa created an island in front of her, shielding Mobius. The object collided with the island but instead of the land breaking into millions of pieces, there was a bright multi-colored light. Mother Heart and Vanessa went to investigate and watched as a large tree grew from the spot in front of them. The trunk of the tree glowed before a large pink egg rolled out of the hollow and stopped in front of them. Small creaks formed on the shell and light shone through the creaks, glowing brightly causing Mother Heart to close her eyes but not Vanessa. When it cleared a pink dragon, who also looked part-butterfly with her wings and the antennas next to her silver horns, was standing where the egg had been. When she opened her eyes, her pupils were pink cherry blossoms. She wore a white dress and was a little shorter than Mother Heart. She smiled and introduced herself as Hana Ange, the Goddess of Flowers and Life. She explained she was bound to the tree or Tree of Hearts and that only her sisters could see her, as she was invisible to Mobians. Mother Heart then asked why she was the goddess of Flowers and Life. Hana Ange explained that all Mobians had a Heart Flower which was the source of emotions for them, she had been sent to protect it. She also revealed that the Tree of Hearts connected to all Heart Flowers and if a Heart Flower wilted completely, it would weaken it.

297 years later, in the year 7487, Vanessa assigned Hana Ange the task of checking in with the guardians of the newly transformed Pretty Cure Temple annually. This was to ensure that the temple's magic remained strong and within its walls.

In the year 1542 CE, 9,029 years and 323 generations of guardians later a young yellow hummingbird, named Aurelie (translates to golden in French) was born. The family of guardians have been females for the longest time because the family has this curse that the next guardian, which is the firstborn, will be a daughter and she will fall in love with a female. This curse was placed on the family by the first generation’s mother, who did not approve of her lover so she cursed her when she didn’t listen and married her. Vanessa chose her because she was the strongest in her guard and she trusted her.

At the time of Aurelie’s birth, Hana Ange was doing her yearly visit while doing so she became interested in Aurelie as she has a full-grown heart flower when most babies have small bubs and don’t get fully grown until age twelve or thirteen (it’s when they go through puberty). Two years later Aurelie was playing in the flower field near the temple with one of her mothers, who had fallen asleep. Just then she saw the Tree of Hearts appear overhead and watched as her other mother, the current guardian, flew up to the island. Aurelie had just started flying so when she saw her mother she wanted to follow her. After a few minutes of trying, Aurelie flies up to the island and lands on the edge. She started to make her way to the big tree and when she got there she didn’t see her mother but she did see Hana Ange floating over the tree. Now Hana Ange can make herself seen by Mobians but in her Mist Form where she is floating over the tree, watching the world, only her family can see her in this form so she was very surprised when a baby Mobian called out to her while she in the form no Mobians would be able to see her in. She turned into the form Mobians could see her in and floated down to the baby. She held her in her arms and wondered how she was able to see her. At that moment she heard her parents calling for Aurelie so she sent her down via a giant floating flower to another field. When Aurelie landed she let out a laugh which echoed throughout the valley attracting her mothers to her.

That day Hana Ange met Aurelie was not the day she was to do her yearly visit, at that time Vanessa assisted Hana Ange in acting as a second protector to the temple because she had gotten word that one of Diabolos’ generals was going to try to steal a powerful item from the temple (yes this was when Diabolos’ general was looking for an item to make Boss). The next day Aurelie flies up to her again and continues to every day before soon her parents notice. The two become good friends as Aurelie grows up. Eleven years later Aurelie is assigned to protect the temple with her mother and when she does Hana Ange has to leave to cheek on Mobius since the threat of the general stealing something is over. She is gone for three years and in that time she is missed by her friend. When she returns she is greeted by Aurelie first, tackled into a hug.

In the next two years, she stays near the Temple and spends every day with Aurelie, who falls in love with her. When Aurelie turned eighteen she confessed that she loved Hana Ange. Hana Ange told her that they couldn’t have children together and the long line of guardians would come to an end plus she was immortal while Aurelie wasn’t. However Aurelie didn’t care about any of this and before Hana Ange could stop her she tied her heart flower to the Tree of Hearts, ensuring that her heart would always be with the tree instead of ascending to heaven. Hana Ange yells at her for doing so and casts her off the island to protect her duty as a guardian. As she does she cries as she realizes that she loved Aurelie but she could never have her because Aurelie had a duty to uphold. She then realizes that because of Aurelie’s duty, she would have to love someone else and that broke her heart. She went back to Mobius and cried her sorrows to her younger sister, Flora (she is closest to her so she was very sad when she died), in the Cure Rose Garden.

A few days later she was called to Vanessa’s workshop. When she got there she saw Vanessa glaring at the crystal ball which reflected a young green scorpion Mobian from the Desert Kingdom or World. Vanessa created the Desert World for Mobians who were used to living in that kind of environment since Mobius was inhabited by nothing but forests and oceans for the longest time. By now the kingdom has gotten smaller since Vanessa had taken half of them and put them on Mobius when deserts started to appear. She watched over it since it held life from Mobius but when that life got moved to Mobius she stopped watching or caring about it. While life carried on there, smaller than it once was, a scorpion Mobian was crowned as the leader of the world. Fast forward a few thousand years, the current king is not a kind king because he envies the other worlds Vanessa favors. He takes this out on his subjects and of course, he is scouted by Diabolos but he stops when he senses a bigger power in the world. However, all he finds is a female fennec fox, who is the wife of the Desert King, and she doesn’t seem to be in despair. Then Diabolos sees that she is pregnant and it is the unborn child who has this great despair.

Soon in the year 1444 CE, a male scorpion is born but his father isn’t happy; a child meant that he could take his throne and he wanted to rule this kingdom as long as he could without anyone standing in his way so he punished his wife by killing him but she begged him not to and offered herself instead. He murdered her with the newborn, Dune, watching. The next day he married a female meerkat and warned her she would meet the same fate if she got pregnant. Dune’s stepmother, stepbrother, and nanny took care of him and tried hard to keep him away from his father. When Dune was seven years old his father got fed up with him and tried to kill him so Dune escaped with his nanny, but sadly his nanny died while shielding Dune from the king. He wandered around the kingdom for two years before meeting his stepmother and stepbrother again. They had been on the run from the king after she got pregnant and ran away, she lost the baby during that time from all the running. Dune got angry at his father for killing and hurting those he loved and that's when his anger reached its peak, which is what Diabolos was waiting for.

That night Diabolos appeared in front of Dune and offered him infinite power on one condition, he had to kill his father. Dune agreed. At this point, Dune is a Pre Negative Boss which Diabolos turned him into using twisted magic from Hana Ange. Dune wouldn’t become a full Negative Boss until he completes his task. For the next few years, Dune trained to be able to take down his father. At age sixteen he, his stepmother, and his stepbrother went back and stormed the castle. While Dune succeeds in killing his father, finally obtaining the infinity power (becoming a full Negative Boss) as he had wished, and also inheriting the status of Desert King, he loses his stepmother and stepbrother in the fight. As Diabolos watched Dune train he saw that love was still in his heart thanks to his stepmother and stepbrother. Diabolos needed to get rid of them if he wanted Dune to live up to his true potential and their deaths would probably strengthen his anger so he sent one of his generals disguised as one of the palace guards to kill the two and he succeeded plummeting Dune further into despair. After being crowned Desert King he sucks up the world's magic, killing everything before leaving to do the same to other worlds. At first, he attacks worlds Vanessa favors but they prove too strong for him so he attacks worlds like his, worlds that Vanessa doesn’t care about for the next few years, and takes their magic.

Years later, in 1560 CE, he doesn’t try to attack the powerful worlds again, he focuses on Mobius and that's when Vanessa takes action to stop him. Vanessa contacted Hana Ange because Diabolos had used magic from her. They needed to utilize her magic to create Cures, which meant that Hana Ange would be at the head of all of this. Vanessa instructed her to choose the person with the strongest Heart Flower to become a Cure. However, Hana Ange refused and decided to confront the upcoming evil herself. She teleported away, leaving Vanessa and Sapphire concerned. Sapphire asks her mother if they will let that happen and Vanessa tells her no before looking up at the two items floating in a bubble overhead. They had planned to give two items to Hana Ange, but now they needed to act fast.

Now Hana Ange is connected to the Tree of Hearts, so when she moves around the Tree of Hearts follows her. So when Aurelie saw it over the Crystal Castle she raced there as fast as her wings would take her, but by the time she got there, Hana Ange was gone. Vanessa was less than pleased when she burst into her workshop but Sapphire cleared things up by telling her mother that she was the Temple Guardian’s daughter and Hana Ange’s friend. At that, Aurelie expressed her desire to find Hana Ange. Sapphire asked why and she told them what happened. Vanessa then told her what Hana Ange was going to do and told the girl that it wouldn’t work and that she would get destroyed. That sent Aurelie into a panic so Sapphire asked if she wanted to help her. When she answered yes, Vanessa warned her of the dangers. Aurelie still wanted to help, so Vanessa gave her the two items in the bubble: a white device called a Heart Perfume and a golden coin called a Heart Seed. She takes them and Sapphire tells her that the only way to defeat Dune is a Cure which is what she will become but she will only start the cycle, she will not be the one to defeat Dune but weaken him by taking out his forces. Aurelie said she will do whatever it takes to protect her lover. Vanessa then tells her that even if she goes down this road she would be the last guardian of the Pretty Cure Temple. Aurelie tells them that she chose that when she fell in love with Hana Ange.

Aurelie thinks Vanessa is referring to the fact that she may die as a Cure but in reality that’s not what Vanessa means at all. Aurelie then expressed that she is worried about what her parents will think and Vanessa tells her she will take care of that.

Sapphire then explained how the items worked, just as Dune attacked. Hana Ange fought hard, but Dune was too powerful. Just as he is about to finish her off he is blocked by a blinding golden light. When it clears Aurelie is left standing there. When Dune asks who she is she tells him she is Cure Ange, taking inspiration from her lover’s name. The two battle it out and soon Dune is overpowered by Cure Ange and retreats back to his fortress in space to recover but not before sending his minions down to Mobius to weaken it more. Hana Ange gets mad at Aurelie when she detransforms in front of her for putting her life in harm's way for her when she has a big duty to fulfill. Aurelie then tells her that she no longer has it before the two are teleported to the temple where Vanessa is standing with her parents, who don’t look angry but don’t look happy either.

Vanessa tells her that what she says is wrong and that while she is now a Cure, she is still a guardian. Aurelie asks what she means. Vanessa tells her that since she has tied her heart to the Tree of Hearts she will not pass away like others, her spirit will forever be tied down to the Tree of Hearts, to Hana Ange. Because of this, she will still be the guardian, the last guardian of the Pretty Cure Temple, but she will be with Hana Ange for all eternity. Aurelie's parents supported her decision, and she asked Hana Ange for her opinion. Before she can answer Vanessa bubbles the two and talks to her without the others hearing. When the bubbles pop Vanessa disappears. Hana Ange tells her that she is not happy Aurelie put her life on the line at all but she trusts her and then tells her she loves her. Over the next few years of her life, Cure Ange battles Dune’s generals and defeats them.

In 1610, at age 68, Cure Ange sealed the last and most powerful general, Baron Salamander, away and sealed his power in crystals which she scattered. Two years later, after defeating the rest of Dune's forces, she battled Dune and managed to seal him away. However, it cost her life. She died protecting Mobius but what she did was not in vain as a few years later more Cures rose up. Aurelie now lives with her lover in the Tree of Hearts, protecting the temple.

Cure Ange is the first and only Cure Vanessa didn't pick, the Tree of Hearts was the one to pick her, as Aurelie had the strongest Heart Flower at that time.

Over the next 400 years, Vanessa and Sapphire make Heart Perfume and Heart Seeds for the next Cures. They also make Cure Chaos from Flower Chaos as well as Cure Flickies. For the weapon, they change it periodically, with the Flower Tact being used for the last four generations. After Cure Ange, the following Cure was guided to the Tree of Hearts through a dream, where she met the spirit of Cure Ange. She received the Heart Perfume, Heart Seeds, and the Heart Pot, along with instructions on what she needed to do before receiving her Cure Flicky. This Cure was the only one to have ever seen Cure Ange.

Vanessa and Sapphire later created the Heartcatch Mirage, which summons Hana Ange in her mist form to attack. They put it in the new room of the Pretty Cure Temple for the Heartcatch Cures and sent a door down to Mobius, which landed in the garden of the present Cure. Vanessa informed her Cure Flicky of what to do and gave him the Super Cure Heart Seed. After the item was returned to the temple, Vanessa told Aurelie that the future Cures must prove they are ready to use it, so she must devise a test for them to pass to gain it.

Meanwhile, Dune, still sealed up, continued to make more generals for the Cures to fight. He eventually broke out of his prison and fought a Cure whose strength reminded him of Cure Ange. Her name was Cure Flower. Before he was locked away again, he gave Baron Salamander, who had been freed by Oliver, a mask and instructed him to find the person it shone the most around and get them to put it on. Doing so would give Dune control over them and turn them into a general.

In 2006 CE, they found that person, Sabaku. Baron Salamander gave it to him, and he fell under Dune's control. Over the next two years, Sabaku grew his power and created more generals, Sasorina, Cobraja, and Kumojaki, as well as the powerhouse of the Desert Apostles, Dark Pretty Cure. Sabaku believed that since the Tree of Hearts had not wilted, Cure Flower was still active, so he sent one of the generals to attack Mobius, hoping to lure her out. Instead, they encountered a new Cure: Cure Moonlight. Soon the Tree of Hearts gave birth to two Cure Chaos, Chypre and Coffret. This was a sign for Cologne, Cure Moonlight's Cure Chao partner, to have partners as well, but she refused, believing she could handle things on her own.

Now let's go back to the day Cure Moonlight was born; Vanessa called Hana Ange to the workshop to explain what she needed to do. Upon entering, Hana Ange saw four bubbles, each containing a Heart Perfume, a different color Heart Seed in a different color, and a Flower Tact, minus one holding a yellow Heart Seed. Additionally, she saw Amethyst and Topaz at a workbench working on something, while Ruby and Emerald were standing by a large bubble containing four sleeping Flower Chaos; a purple lily, pink Brunfelsia Latifolia, blue morning glory, and a sunflower Flower Chaos.

Flower Chaos are Chaos that have pure white bodies with a specific flower all over their body in a certain color, their wings are shaped like the petals of that flower and are the same color as the flowers, the little mood orb over their head is also in the shape of that flower as well as the same color, and their eyes are the color of that flower.

However, these four Flower Chaos looked different, just like the other Cure Chaos that Vanessa had given her. Vanessa then sees her and calls her over to where she is standing in front of the crystal ball. She tells her that it is time to start with the main Cures but they would start off with one for now while the others get a little older. She then showed her the target, Yui, before taking the items from the bubble with a purple Heart Seed and putting them in the collar of the purple lily Flower Chao. She then gives him to Hana Ange and tells her that his name is Cologne. She takes him to the tree and uses her magic to give him life. He then leaves to find Yui. A year later, Hana Ange was called back to Vanessa's workshop, where she found the bubbles with the pink and the blue Heart Seeds gone and a Tambourine in the bubble with the yellow Heart Seed. Vanessa then gave her the pink Brunfelsia Latifolia and the blue Morning Glory Flower Chaos and told her that their names were Chypre and Coffret. Vanessa then instructed her to give them to Yui, but they would pick their partners.

When Cologne passed away unexpectedly, Vanessa and Sapphire had to come up with a way to give her back her powers. They didn't give Hana Ange Potpourri, the sunflower Flower Chao, because they wanted her to be a power boost. The same went for Yui's power restoration. When the time came for that, Vanessa informed Hana Ange of what to do as well as gave her the power to turn the purple Heart Seed whole for the transformation since they couldn’t turn it whole fully without the other half which the Dark Pretty Cure had.

The reason the Cure Fairies admire Coupe is because he is their predecessor and normally the previous isn’t alive when one is born. The reason for this is because when their partners die, so do they (for the trial Cure Ange brings a younger version of the Cure’s spirit to fight). When a Cure finishes their battle, their Cure Fairy absorbs their Heart Perfume and Heart Seed, gaining their partner's powers, alongside additional abilities which is another reason the Cure Fairies admire Coupe, he is more powerful than them. That's also why Coupe is bigger, as he's an Ancient Flicky who grew over the years. When Cure Flower's powers returned at Christmas, it was Hana Ange who did it, much to Vanessa's displeasure.

When Dune killed the Tree of Hearts he also injured Hana Ange and weakened her greatly so Aurelie took her to the hidden world of the goddess to recover while the present Cures fought Dune. After Dune's defeat, a new tree began to grow, and Hana Ange was already bound to it, so she and Aurelie returned to watch over it.

When Diabolos took over the Crystal Empire and his generals took control of the Temple, Hana Ange, Aurelie, and the Tree of Hearts retreated to the hidden world of the goddess, informing others of what happened. Although many wanted to reclaim the Empire, Hana Ange informed them that Sapphire had sent her Chaos to Mobius to find Cures to save the Empire, and all they could do was carry on with their duties and watch over the group.

Hi!! Happy weekend! I’d love to hear about some of your ocs headcanons 🍬🌻💩 :]

Here's Jack and Olivia, 2/3 of Long Time Running's main cast - with a bonus heacanon unique to my Dogmeat! You can read the fic -> here <-

Jack Ward is my canon M!SoSu. He was a professional boxer and retired when he was conscripted for the Anchorage campaign and sent to FoB Juneau.

When Med-Tek failed, Jack pushed RJ on a vertibird destined for Vault 150 - a remote Canadian Vault that tested Duncan's illness on its residents. Two weeks later, Olivia Dallaire, my OC F!SoSu, stepped out of a vertibird and onto the hill overlooking Sanctuary and Boston. She'd be an Olympic judoka if there was still Olympics.

🍬On the topic of family: One of the themes in my fic is about the intersection and contrast between found family and adoption as well as miscommunication. Jack sees a younger version of himself in Olivia, but in a subversion of the failed-coach-training-his-actually-promising-protege trope, Jack had the title fight successes and Olivia really never will. All the same, he takes a shine to her. After meeting Father at the Institute, Jack let go of the idea of recovering his family. When he met Olivia, he felt like, "My god, this is the child Nora and I were supposed to have". Problem is, she's uh, a grown-ass 23 year-old woman. Who just immigrated to a different country and has her own trauma to unpack. And the sudden reemergence of his want to be a dad is moving faster than his ability to discuss being family with her. He faces serious role strain between his best friendship with RJ and the fatherhood he feels toward Olivia when he sees RJ differently as he begins to feel protective over her.

💩 Something ridiculous: My Dogmeat can break the fourth wall. The characters cannot hear him in the fic, but the reader can read his thoughts. One of my childhood fave movies is All Dogs Go To Heaven. The main dog is a German Shepherd, voiced by Burt Reynolds. This is how I hear him.

I was born in '94, so those 80's-90's "talking animal" genre movies were really formative for me. Anastasia, An American Tail - themes of lost family, adventure, immigration. Even RJ's story has strong Secrets of NIMH parallels. I'd reached a point where my fic felt self-serious, like it was so grounded in harsh reality and dumpster fire mental health that I forgot to have fun. Saluting Don Bluth by imagining Charlie B. Barkin and Anne-Marie the Orphan as Dogmeat and Olivia was me throwing my hands up and saying, "Fine! Fuck it! We can have fun!"

🌼 Happiness, how'd you get to be happiness: Lately, getting to know each other has been a source of happiness for both Jack and Olivia. Jack as the canon SoSu has all the problems we do when we play the game - wrangling several warring factions that all expect his presence; ignoring Father/the Institute; managing a small empire of settlements. Olivia as the SoSu of her own Vault is navigating immigration and being around people again. The heart-meltingest fluff I have published so far is father-daughter moments. Excerpt below the cut!

Long Time Running Chapter 13: Sabré Olvidar:

Jack glanced at Olivia’s marigold cable-knit sweater and jeans, rolled up at the cuffs. He realized most of her clothing from home that wasn’t her Vault suit was oversized and patched several times over. 

A deep flush of sadness erupted within. He coughed and returned to the topic of conversation. “Well, um.. What.. What do you think of the animals you let go?” 

“I just thank them for giving me a pretty view. I mean, just look at them.” She let go of their hug and stepped back. “If you look at it like this, the window makes them look like a painting.” 

She beamed at the radstag pair - four heads and too many legs. 

Jack obliged the request and stepped back. The window framed the radstags, trees and tall grasses well, like a living photograph. He appreciated the scene with the same intensity as a painting in a museum.  

He broke his gaze away and looked around at the cabin. “Well.. What brings us down here today, anyway?” he asked.

“I was thinking,” she turned away from the radstags. “Um, there wasn’t anyone here last time I visited, and there’s no one here now, and.. Y’know, it’s pretty close to town.. Does anyone own this place?” 

“Truth be told, Miss Olivia,” he replied. “I don’t think anyone’s taken interest in this cabin since the bombs fell. Doesn’t seem to me like anyone owns it.” 

She wrung her hands and shifted her weight as she looked around. “Um.. can I..” 

Jack awaited the question with patience and a smile. “Yes?”

“Can I have it? Please?” she pleaded.

His heart melted anew. Oh, Jesus, not that face, not that face. He decided to mess with her and put on an apprehensive tone. “I dunno.. It’s a big responsibility, being a homeowner..”

She hung on his every word with wide-eyed worry. 

“The cost for materials, the labor.. In this economy, too.. Ouch.” He grimaced, both to ham up the theatrics and to force his mouth away from a smile.

“I-I’ll work, I’ll get a job, I promise-” 

He could no longer keep up the act. “Oh, fine, sure. It’s yours!” 

Olivia gasped and threw her arms around Jack’s torso. Coffee spilled out of her mug with a graceful dive and landed on the floor with an audible splash.

“Thank you thank you thank you thank you- Oh, I have so much work to do-” she let go of Jack and listed the repairs. “I need a door and I have to clean the fireplace and I need to find new windows and-” 

Jack beamed as she bounced around the room. Her braid whipped through the air as she tallied up her needs. Getting to know his little bundle of contradictions was fun. 

“-nails and lumber and.. And that spot on the porch that’s sagging.. I have a lot to do if I want this ready for winter.” 

“Alright, then, that settles it,” he said. “Let’s get a move on.” 

“Where to?” she asked.

“Well, like you said, winter’s on the way. Let’s get building.” 

She smiled, somehow wider than her smile already was. “Yeah! Let’s do it!”

She ran out the door and jumped off the stairs instead of walking down. “Where can we go shopping for supplies?” she asked, turning back to him.

Jack followed and took the steps as normal. “We’ll see what we have in Sanctuary before we look elsewhere. I’ll have to get you a workbench down here.” 

Olivia hopped and skipped ahead. “My own workbench, I-” 

She wasn’t watching her step and nearly tripped. 

«Tabarnak!» she swore. Olivia threw her hands up in mock-offense. “Who put this root here, eh?” 

She laughed off the transgression, tucked the stem of the hubflower behind her ear and turned her pirate smile toward Sanctuary.

Jack Ward, ol’ 111 himself, was thoroughly charmed. Miss Olivia Dallaire contained multitudes. 

Sweet, funny, capable, sensitive. A reader, a fighter, an animal-lover and an occasional jokester who stopped to smell the roses.  

He remembered the leadup to Arturo’s last title fight, when he lived at the house with Jack and Nora. 

One night in the later stages of her pregnancy, Nora laid on the couch as Arturo and Jack sat on the floor surrounded by the pieces of a yet-to-be constructed crib.

Arturo lectured their unborn child on the syntax, phonetics and style guide of French Canadian cursing.

«Esti de câlice de tabarnak!» Arturo exclaimed. "That is what we say when the baby crib is hard to build! You better like it!"

Jack wiped a tear from his cheek as he followed Olivia to Sanctuary.

Arturo would have been so proud to be your uncle. So proud.
