support - @jegulus-microfic - word count: 281

James had accepted that his feelings were unrequited a long time ago. He'd decided not to pursue Regulus as he'd done Lily. It had only ended in heartbreak. He knew how Regulus felt. Instead, he'd resigned himself to being friends with Regulus, to admiring him from afar. To the long, drawn-out pain of never having what he wanted most.

Everyone knew. He was horribly obvious and sometimes he even thought Regulus knew. But nobody said anything and the pining continued.

Until one day they were all hanging out by the lake, releasing all the pent-up energy leftover from exams, and Marlene brought her camera. Pictures were taken and later developed and Marlene brought one to dinner to show the boys, going on about how cute it was.

And it was. They were knee-deep in the lake, James leaning onto Peter for support as they both laughed hysterically, watching Remus splash Sirius mercilessly.

James opened his mouth to comment on it, when Marlene said something else.

"'Course, Reg is completely mooning over you in the background, isn't he?" she murmured, smirking a bit.

And James allowed himself a closer look, even as Sirius scoffed.

There Regulus was. Sitting on the shore with Barty and Evan, the shade of a large tree keeling his pale skin safe from the string sun.

And he was gazing at James. His eyes never left him, a small smile spreading across his face and his mouth moving so he lightly bit his lip as he watched, his entire face soft. He did, undeniably, look besotted.

James felt a blush form on his face and hope bubble in his stomach. Maybe, maybe, he had a chance, after all.

even around you

pairing: aventurine x gn!reader

genre: angstober, events

summary: aventurine has many walls that you have managed to break down, yet even now, he still has his guard up.

word count: 281

a/n: if you cant tell, i clearly haven't finished the penacony quest, mainly cus of school and storage issues for my ipad, but n e ways, hope yall enjoy this

aventurine was used to living with his life on the line, ready for death to plunge him into eternal sleep at any time, by an assassin, a failed gamble, crossing the road at the wrong time.

yet, since you had burst into his life, aventurine had slowly begun to emerge from his shell. during the late nights, when his mind was fogged by drowsiness, he found himself vulnerable to you, words and stories of his past flowing involuntarily from his tongue.

as he relished in your touch, aventurine felt himself lowering his guard, slowly sinking into sleep, lulled by the feeling of your fingers stroking through his hair, the warmth of the blanket tempting him to sleep.

when the moon was high and slipping through the curtains in shards of light, aventurine was lost in the realm of dreams. suddenly, the dip of the bed awoke him, his hand instinctively reaching beneath his pillow for his sheathed dagger. with practised movement, he unsheathed his dagger silently, posed and ready to strike the viper slipping into his bed.

when his brain caught up to his hands, he realised it had been you. your eyes were blown wide, fear evident in your face, as you sat frozen, on your side of the bed. in your hand, you were holding a glass of water that you had gone to get in the middle of the night. the surface of the water sloshed dangerously close against the lip of the cup, as your hand trembled.

it saddened you to know, that despite how much aventurine had put down, how many walls you had knocked down, deep down, he was still on edge, even around you.

Cricket's gonna be the main villain for the next 300+ pages (if I had to guess the page number). You're gonna be seeing a whole lot of him for the rest of this whole story so I do suggest stopping reading here if it's gonna make you mad

He dies on Moon 281. We got a long way to go.

Fun fact - I was waiting for him to die in game to see how it would happen and he just Wouldn't so I eventually pressed "Kill" myself

WHAT ARE QUARKS MADE UP OF??

Blog#281

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2023

Welcome back,

Deep within the atoms that make up our bodies and even within the protons and neutrons that make up atomic nuclei, are tiny particles called quarks.

The strong force that binds quarks inside hadrons is carried by another kind of tiny elementary particle called gluons, which are exchanged between the quarks.

To separate individual quarks requires an enormous amount of energy (it's not called the strong force for no reason). This amount of raw energy only existed in nature about 10 billionths of a second to about a millionth of a second after the Big Bang, when the temperature was approximately 3.6 trillion degrees Fahrenheit (2 trillion degrees Celsius).

During this brief, early period, the baby universe was filled with a form of matter known as a quark–gluon plasma, a particle soup of free-floating quarks and gluons. As the temperature and pressure quickly dropped as the baby universe expanded, the quarks became bound together, forming hadrons that ultimately formed the basis of all visible matter that we see today in the cosmos, from stars and galaxies to planets and people.

Although the quark–gluon plasma only existed 13.8 billion years ago in the immediate aftermath of the Big Bang, scientists have successfully recreated it in particle accelerator experiments by smashing two heavy nuclei, such as that of lead, into each other close to the speed of light. The first time that this was achieved was at CERN's Super Proton Synchrotron in 2000.

As such, studying quark-gluon plasmas in particle accelerator experiments is an important way of better understanding the conditions in the universe in the aftermath of the Big Bang.

The one other location in nature where conditions could be so extreme that quarks become unbounded is in a hypothetical object called a "quark star".

If they exist, then quark stars are a kind of extreme neutron star, which are the most compact objects known in the universe that haven't collapsed under gravity to form a black hole. A neutron star is born in a supernova, which is a violent explosion signaling the destruction of a massive star.

While the outer layers of the star are blown away, the star's core collapses under gravity and the pressure there becomes so great that protons with their positive electric charge merge with negatively charged electrons, their charges canceling out to form neutral neutrons. Neutron stars are about 6 miles (10 kilometers) in diameter, and a spoonful of neutron star material can have as much mass as a mountain.

Moon 281-Greenleaf

While Dawnfreckle (64) is feeling better after Primcrest’s death, Creekstar (135) is still struggling with it.  Maybe due to the fact that she wishes she’d had a chance to reconcile with her friend.  She wishes that she could visit her in StarClan. Downgaze (62) tries to comfort his mother and the two of them spend a long time talking with each other.  Meanwhile, Dawnfreckle decides to get to know the newest member of the Clan, Alderflight (37).  They talk about their goals and aspirations and find that they have. . .very little in common.  Dawnfreckle wants to act as a guide for the Clan, sort of like his mother was, but Alderflight feels like the Clan mostly needs to work on being a safer place for cats before it can have a young guide.  Downgaze, on the other paw, really likes Alderflight.  He admires the other cat from afar.  Sweet Marmalade (66) teases him about it.  Hatchswipe (26) continues to gain popularity in the Clan.  This moon, she’s been hanging out with Skipneedle (56) and Creekstar wants to get to know her better.  Hatchswipe has noticed that Whorlstorm (26) is feeling a little left out lately and takes some time to surprise her sister with a sparring session.  She ends up drenched but it’s worth it.  Sofanthiel  (70) likes no longer being the newest cat in the Clan and tries to show off a bit for Alderflight.  He doesn’t notice.  He’s mostly been sleeping a lot so Lakepelt (89) can heal his head injury.  Later, Sofanthiel proves that she has all the courage of a clanborn cat by confidently striding up to an intruding rogue and chasing him off with only her words.

Healer’s den: Alderflight (head damage), Creekstar (grief stricken), Greenrapid (beak bite)

Note: I updated the pinned post on this blog to include a link to the moons in chronological order to make it easier for any of you who would like to read the earlier moons. Thank you so much for reading and liking these posts!

Microfic: Hermione Granger's 12 Step Guide to Getting Along With Pansy Parkinson

@sapphicmicrofics Prompt: "They're gone"

Hermione/Pansy || 281 words

“Shit- someone’s coming!” Parkinson whispers urgently. She ducks into an alcove that contains a suit of armor and tugs Hermione in behind her. Her deep purple lacquered nails leave little crescent moon indentations in Hermione’s wrist when she lets go.

“I told you it might not be a good idea to go through the abandoned wing!” Hermione chides quietly.

Parkinson rolls her eyes and peers out under the arm of the suit of armor into the darkened corridor. “Well pardon me for suggesting we take a shortcut so that we could finish our rounds earlier!” She hisses back.

They can hear footsteps approaching them, echoing loudly around the empty corridor. Filch is muttering to Mrs. Norris as they sweep the corridor with a lamp for any wayward students. Parkinson presses back further into the alcove as they approach and Hermione finds her nose buried in the slytherin’s hair.

Parkinson smells of lavender and cardamom and Hermione feels a bit like she’s floating as she tries to take small breaths so as not to tip her companion off to the fact that she is effectively drowning in her scent. She doesn’t even notice that Filch and Mrs. Norris have gone until Parkinson turns around and the pair of them are suddenly chest-to-chest.

“You smell nice.” She says quietly.

“I should hope so, my perfume is very expensive.” Hermione watches Parkinson’s lips move as she speaks and finds herself wondering if the slytherin tastes floral and spicy like her perfume. “Shall we finish our rounds now? Or did you have something else in mind?”

Parkinson’s smirk is dangerous and Hermione forces herself out of the alcove before she does something impulsive and stupid.

Day 281: What the polycule is like when sleeping-

Siegfried: He stays very still when sleeping, and only once in a blue moon he may actually move in his sleep. Prefers to have Master spooning him from behind (although he's a bit too embarrassed to say it out loud lol). He sometimes flinches in his sleep from his memories when he was alive. Somewhat of a light sleeper.

Master: As previously stated, they tend to kick in their sleep, however they have a blessing/curse that they're also really warm, like a human body heater. Also very cuddly. Deep sleeper (like "you need to have an alarm clock going off right in their ear to wake them up" kind).

Kriemhild: Servants don't really need to sleep, but for her it sometimes doesn't come that easily (oof). During the times that she can't sleep, she reads to pass the time until she could finally get some shut eye. Sometimes tosses and turns in her sleep. Similar to Siegfried, she also flinches while asleep, again from her memories when she was alive. Somewhere between light and deep sleeper.

Karna: He doesn't sleep with in the bed that much with the others (Jinako is right here, after all), but when he does he's not a bad bedmate, but he's also not great either. Also a human (or in this case, Servant) body heater, but not that cuddly. A bit of a deep sleeper.

"The emptiness came back, because I was siphoning off bit by bit who I truly am to satisfy someone else's idea of who I should be."      I swallow, too. Hearing Jack talk about the emptiness... it sounds an awful lot like my ache, like that pit that exists just south of my ribs, the hole I thought was loneliness. But what if the ache isn't the absence of other people? What if the thing missing inside of me is... me? It's a terrifying thought, because it means this hole inside my chest can't be filled by two hundred thousand dollars or a woman with freckles and a quarter-moon smile.
