Who: @rowanmaxim Where: The Harmonium When: Present

The excitement in the air at the Harmonium was palpable–the agenda for the day was one much awaited by the students every year. Auden had not attended the Harmonium themselves, they’d found their education through apprenticeships across Avalon and in a handful of of other places, but they could relate to the young artisans who got to partake in the day. The elvhen would be leading their own workshop before the day was through, their first at the prestigious campus. It wasn’t that Auden hadn’t been invited before–they had; and had turned down the invitations in the past. It appeared that someone responsible for planning the day’s lineup had caught wind that Auden had set up a forge in the city, knowledge that stripped Auden of any good excuse to refuse the invitation to share their knowledge with the young creatives working on their studies. 

There were a handful of hours before Auden would begin their lesson, and they spent that time examining the famous, hallowed halls of the institution sketching some of the more notable features and details. When that became wearisome, they settled for people-watching. The younger students were made obvious by their lack of sash and anxious expressions. Those who were considered novices didn’t look like they felt much relief for surviving the first round of their many trials on their path to excellence. But it was one of the alumnus that garnered lasting attention from Auden. “I’m shocked to see they’d allow you to show your face here again, Rowan,” Auden greeted upon catching up with him on one of the main throughways between the many halls of the campus. He had told Auden a handful of stories of his transgressions as a student during his time at the Harmonium while he tattooed a great, skeletal viper on their arm some time back, its bony spine twisting loops around the limb. “And now you’re here as someone for these naive, young students to aspire to become? Or perhaps you’re crashing the event.” The words were in jest, which Rowan would likely interpret.

"Oh it's fine, you don't really have to do that." The last thing she needed was to be a target for a bunch of hormonal teenagers if they found out she was the reason why they got in trouble at home. "Pretty sure it was just the universe telling me I need to get a new phone." Except she didn't want to put out a few hundred dollars and would have to make a run to the local pharmacy and try to get herself a prepaid flip phone. "Great." Following the brunette down the sidewalk she nodded at their question. "Yeah, literally got in like three days ago from New Jersey. This was my attempt of exploration, clearly not doing a good job at remembering my track." Usually she was pretty good, but Clare was relying on her GPS to bring her back home until her phone tragically shattered. "You said you aren't originally from here. Where you from?"

It was pretty late outside and if Rowan was in the same situation, she would be freaking out by now. "I know all of their names. I can always let their parents know that they're not watching out for other people, yet again." She offered up a small sympathetic smile. It wasn't much but maybe it could stop another incident...at least for a few days. "I'm not from here but it feels like I am. Been here long enough to know my way around. I was stopping by the tower apartments, anyway." It wouldn't be much trouble for Rowan to help out and she was glad that she could. "Did you just move here?" Rowan asked, as she began walking her way to the apartments.

MIDNIGHT EVENT STARTER — feat. lord willas rowan ( @romanceur ) amidst the whispers; vicious serenity

her beautiful sparrows ( her ladies in waiting, if one was to be technical ) had fluttered and deposited the conversations they had overheard into her ear all night —  but it wasn't until one of her maids came upon her with a stricken expression did the dragoness understood that one certain matter was not one to be taken lightly. in a mere moment, her courtly mask of a gracious host had frozen into something altogether chilling. harsh scarlet steps brought her face to face with a silly little costume, complete with a hook in place of a hand ( ironic, her frantic mind supplied ) — the princess rounded steely lavender hues to meet sapphire blue. " come. " she turned on her heel, fully expecting him to follow. in a dimly lit corridor, against an alcove that many would overlook; the dragon princess rounded upon the golden heir of goldengrove. " will you all leave now? " is it all over?

Person: @konstcntin Place: Mystery Ink ( Nearly after hours) "That's pretty good." Kon was from their circle so much like Caradoc, he was also immediately in the entourage until they weren't fun anymore. He'd come in to see the piercer actually, but he had been on a break and Asmodeus was impatient so the nipple piercings would have to wait. A tattoo was better anyways, the sharp black lines of the horned god looked great on their forearm. There was no reason for his shirt to be off and yet it's off anyways, leaving him in the ever present pair of leather pants on the bench. "It'll do for now."

THE LADY DELANE ROWAN wears a purple gown with blue undertones, the stars adorning it appearing as though they are moving between lines evocative of clouds. the array of dyed feathers at each hem only adds to the ethereality of the dress, leaving one with a sparkling impression of the beginnings of sunrise.

@pessimc​ “based” on this and mostly tyler being a fuckin creep 

“come on, angel.. you can do it without me, remember?” tyler mused from where he sat on the far end of the bed, watching his cousin mount and hump the pillow between her thighs. it was the same game year after year and quite possibly the only thing he looked forward to when it came to these dopey family vacations. quite frankly he didn’t have much in common with a majority of his family members and his parents couldn’t stand to resist asking him about a real job in front of every one of them as if he wasn’t supporting himself well enough as it were. but rowan, his sweet and supportive cousin who had become delightfully pliable as she got older, made it all worth it. what started with him sneaking into her bedroom in the middle of the night so he could silently rub up against her to waking her with his cock gliding in and out of her mouth as if she were something he had a right to. she reminded him this morning how wrong it all was, and as cute as he found rowan’s little attempt to stand her ground, he also took it as moment to remind her how much he didn’t care. “you never take this long to cum when it’s me you’re on top of.” he added, his smug tone matching his actions as he settled back into the wooden bedframe with his arms comfortably crossed over his chest as he voiced his every thought, “you’re so fuckin’ wet but can’t get... nothing like how you come undone riding my tongue like that, huh baby?”

closed starter for @chiefhalliday

location: the police station

For Adeline home was at her work. A couple years back home was the federal bureau, these days home was the police department in New York City. She was one of the few, who prefered to stay in late instead of rushing out the door as soon as the clocked ticked 5 pm. Usually she had some work that needed to be finished; reports that had been lying on her desk because there was always something more important that she needed to attend to during the day, results that needed to be checked and evaluated in order for further actions to be taken on the case. Tonight, however, her desk was as neat as it could be and she'd mostly stood behind in order to kill some time. It was a rough date in her life; one that she wasn't feeling like spending the night all by herself in her one-bedroom apartment.

Addie was headed out, debating on whether it was a good idea to stop by for a drink at Frank's when she noticed the chief's office was still lit. "Need a hand, boss?" She peeked in after knocking.

how do I still feel even a little tired I literally slept from 21-23 and then I woke up for like a half a hour/45 mins and then I slept again from like 01-08 this is bullshit

CLOSED STARTER — feat. lady leonette rowan ( @goldxnsirens ) at the princess' chambers

it wasn't every day that dragonsfire became the crux of utter fear, not in king's landing, especially when its inhabitants have just begun to think of the crimson rain as long forgone history. there was no doubt that the queen's carefully crafted sense of security had shattered in one fell swoop. " you look well. " the compliment was weak, merely a sound to fill the air of silence as the dragon princess' gaze flickered over to her friend. " i've assumed that your family will take these coming days to spend in seclusion — is that merely your father's desire, and not yours? " no matter the young lady rowan's relationship with her father, daenaera was almost certain that such a tragedy will unite their kin like never before. perhaps she was wrong.

Are you doing Lando Norris story requests. If so can you do one where he is a dad and his child and girlfriend/wife come to watch him race for the first time and he wins with 01 💙😊

Daddy, you won! - Lando Norris

Lando Norris x reader

You and Lando have been dating since you were fifteen years old. You two have been together through thick and thin. So when you found out you were pregnant at only twenty you both knew you could handle it together.

You gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in the November of 2020. Your pride and joy, you and Lando could not be happier.

You didn't want to have your son exposed to the race track too soon. Babies are delicate and as his mother, you are over protective. Lando always said, every weekend since Rowan had been born, that he should be at the races. And you always said no.

One week before the Australian Grand Prix and you were having the same conversation you and Lando have before every race.

"I think you and Rowan should come to Australia." Lando said as you both got into bed.

"I don't know, Lando." You sigh, "He's still so young."

"But it'd be nice. And it's not like he's ever gonna be alone. You can be protective mama bear."

"It's loud, we don't want to deafen him-"

Lando cut you off with a solution, "He can wear ear defenders."

"And fans. I don't want him to be scared or overwhelmed by the amount of people."

"You can take him straight to hospitality. Please y/n. You haven't been to a race in two years. It would mean so much to me." Lando interlocked your fingers as he spoke. You stared into his pleading eyes. Those eyes you always struggled to say no to.

"Fine," Lando smiled more then you knew possible, "We'll come to Australia." Lando cheered, wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you into a passionate kiss.

...

"Where's the sunscreen?" You panicked as you frantically emptied one of your suitcases.

"It's right here, babe." Lando said as he pulled a bottle out of the baby bag you had packed for the day. "Are you okay?" He asked, applying the sunscreen to Rowan's skin.

"I'm just nervous."

"There's nothing to be nervous about."

"What does nervous mean?" Rowan said.

"It means worried, baby." You answered.

"Why are you worried?"

"Because there's going to be lots of people today."

"Bluey will make you not worried." Rowan handed you his blue whale teddy, causing you and Lando to chuckle at the cuteness.

"You hold on to bluey, lovie." You handed Rowan back his whale.

...

The shock on everyone's faces when you walked into the paddock was priceless. You had told noone about you and Rowan attending the Grand Prix.

Even though Rowan could walk, you decided to carry him to ensure you didn't lose him.

"Y/n! Rowan!" A familiar Spanish accent yelled as the three of you walked to hospitality.

"Uncle Carlos!" Rowan screamed as Carlos approached.

"Hey buddy." Carlos put his hand out to fistbump the toddler. "What are you doing here?" He turned to you.

"Lando finally convinced me that it'd be safe." You smiled.

"Will we see you in the paddock more often, then?"

"If today goes okay. Maybe."

"Well, I'll see you all later." Carlos said as he patted Lando's shoulder.

"Yeah, bye mate." Lando said as Carlos walked away and you continued to McLaren.

...

You were sat in Lando's drivers room before the race.

"You should watch in the garage with everyone else. Then you can be the first ones I see when I get out the car."

"I don-" Before you could protest Lando interrupted, already knowing what you were gonna say.

"He's got ear defenders."

"Okay, we'll sit in the garage."

...

Rowan was so excited watching the race. Squealing anytime he saw an orange car on the screen.

You'd never seen Lando drive so well. He started the race in P13 and had managed to work his way up to P2.

Lando was right on Max's tail. A close fight for the win. The atmosphere in the McLaren garage was incredible. Noone expected the car to be capable of this. And with a possible win on the table? Everyone was so nervous.

For the last few laps, Lando had been making so many moves to overtake Max. Getting so close, but not close enough.

They were fighting right to the chequered flag. Just as Max was about to cross the line with another win under his belt, Lando came storming past. By mere inches Lando took home his first ever win.

The garage erupted into cheers. Everyone ran out to meet Lando at the podium. Holding on to Rowan, you made your way to the front of the barriers.

Lando parked his car in the first place spot, removed his helmet and immediately ran over to you and Rowan. Embracing you both. Kissing you on the lips.

"You did it." You said through the tears of joy, "You're a Grand Prix winner."

"Daddy, you won!" Rowan screamed over the cheers.

"Yeah, I did, baby." Lando said as he took Rowan from your arms for a hug.

...

You'd never felt so proud, seeing Lando on the highest step of the podium.

This win was something Lando has been working for his whole life and being able to celebrate it with the two most important people in his life made it even more special.

[tidescfchaos]

Sterling watched their friend easily score the points he needed to win the game. "I don't know if I should be more impressed by how well you played or disappointed that all my talking wasn't enough to throw you off even a little bit." Laughter easily fell from his lips, clearly not bothered by the results. "Hmm? Oh, I suppose my mind is elsewhere." A fairly normal thing when it came to him. His thoughts were often occupied by the past and future rather than the present. To be honest though, that may have been the case more as of late with the strange occurrences he experienced. "I fell down a rabbit hole of research earlier, nothing too exciting, but I guess my thoughts are still there." They weren't opposed to fully disclosing what they were looking into, but the bar probably wasn't the best place to talk about protection spells. "I wouldn't worry about it, worse case scenario, it just means I end up paying for every round tonight." Another easy laugh trailed their words.

"Well, you better keep on hoping, then. I've never been more committed to anything than beating you at this game." A wide smile was plastered across his face as Rowan rubbed his darts between his palms as if to warm them up, a teasing yet challenging glint in his eye. He blew on them thrice, for good luck, the ritualistic and in a way magical nature of the gesture only making him mildly uncomfortable, before he took his place. Angling his body just so, weight evenly distributed between his feet. Single bull, double ring, triple ring. Pleased with himself, he collected his darts before takig his place next to Sterling. A long overdue sip of his nearly forgotten beer, Rowan gave a shrug. "Looks like the next round is on you, hm?" A grin wipes the overconfidence of winning off his face, and he lovingly patted their back. "A valiant effort on your part. What's the matter with you tonight, Webb? I'm almost tempted to let you win the next one."

Emily couldn't help but smile when Rowan was clearly just as eager to see where things could go tonight and how he felt about people finding out about them running off together. His teasing smile sent a shiver of anticipation straight to her toes and she pushed open the door to her hotel room with no hesitation. Popping the 'Do Not Disturb' card over the handle, she latched the door closed and spun around. "I like it when you look at me like that." She nibbled on her bottom lip and slipped her fingers under the hem of her top. "Like you're enjoying all of me, undressing me with your eyes." Emy pulled her top of, leaving her in the lace bralette that accentuated her slight curves. "But I think I'd like it even better to see you enjoying the real thing."

Her blush-pink nipples pebbled into hard little rosebuds under the lace by the time her top hit the floor. Emily didn't stop pushing down her bottoms to display her toned legs and matching panties. "And I'd very much like to know exactly what else that perfect mouth of yours can do." Confidently closing the distance to him, Emy took Rowans hands and placed them on her bare waist before sliding her fingers up the muscles of his forearm and walking them in tandem back toward the bed. "I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about this alone at night in these hotel rooms."

He found satisfaction in the whirring sounds of engines and the scent of motor oil that wafted through the air. Each bolt tightened, every part replaced offered him a sense of accomplishment that was unrivaled by any social life he never prioritized. Though not exactly a player, he'd managed to squeeze in occasional flings—light-hearted connections —but none ever truly held his interest. That all changed the day Emily skidded into his life: a whirlwind of grease-streaked adrenaline and competitive spirit who knocked against his walls like nothing he'd experienced before. He first saw her at the garage when she rolled in with her sleek race car, while her confidence practically radiated off her as she stepped out. Rowan felt something shift within him, an instinctive awareness that this woman was different from anyone else he'd met before. He still couldn't quite believe his luck, as he grinned down at her. "For one I'm not the one with the beautiful face here. And second of, screw them! So here's your last chance, Em. If you don't stop me within the next three seconds, I am going to be holding your hand all the way to the car and beyond." Rowan warned her playfully on their way out.

"Oh well, I had no intention on sleeping tonight anyway. Sleep is for the weak." He mused with a teasing wink. Now standing behind closed doors of the hotel room, Rowan felt an exhilarating mix of nerves and excitement as he locked eyes with Emily. His eyes roamed her body, mesmerized by her beauty, before he took a step closer and wrapped his arms around her petite frame to pull her against his broad chest. He wasted no time, as he captured her lips with his own; and then came that exquisite kiss—a blend of urgency tempered by sweetness—as if time itself suspended around them for just those moments. His tongue danced skillfully inside her mouth while emotions collided—the innocence combined with raw desire creating sparks enough to light those darkened corners forever untouched by hope or warmth inside of him.

Nine Houses

Demo (09/15/24)

Nine Houses represent the nine bloodlines that help keep the magic in order. Over time two houses seem to have been lost: making the remaining seven houses diligent in their duties. You are the scion to the Sixth House…or at least you were.

Your eldest sibling has been declared the scion. This was never supposed to have happened since their curse had always made them unsuitable for ruling the Sixth House. As far as you can tell that hasn’t changed yet now your life is adrift. People around you are acting differently and new people are showing up. Is everything related or are you just hoping to make some sense of what has happened?

There are different directions your life can take but do any of them appeal to you?

The story will focus on relationships, romantic or platonic, with a mystery element. Nine Houses is set in a world similar to our own but with magic.

Customize the main character in appearance and personality. How do they handle the change in their position? Do they help or hurt their sibling’s chances? Do they dive head first into a new mystery or do they want to hang back a bit?

Build Relationships. Befriend everyone, be a loner, or somewhere in between.​

Romance one of five characters; Your (old) betrothed,  the rival bloodline, the new boy/girl(s) in town, or the university researcher.

Choose which areas of life skills you focused on.

Shinji/Shiori Kubo

The match was made with the understanding they would one day rule with the future Vicerex of the Sixth House. Now the question is if they want to stay with you or go with your elder sibling.

Marica/Matteo Milan

Your so-called cousin, even though the two of you aren’t related. They are from the next family in the line to rule the bloodline. They have spent many years in the north to gain traction and allies.

Rowan Cosra

A visitor from the main island who's here along with their twin. They seem to be the relaxed one of the two. They seem to be taking everything in stride and going along for the fun of it.

Aster Cosra

A visitor from the main island who's here along with their twin. They are the more stoic of the two. They seem to be going along with everything out of duty.

 Nora/Niko Stavig

A university student who is studying the changes in magic. They are being hosted by different House Families. They have already spent the allocated time being hosted by your family, but they keep coming back.
