[lady-sanguinius]

Lady Sangunius, there is a night lord named ‘Talos’ that shows signs of possibly being able to see visions. I suggest you look into that to prevent them from becoming like Konrad in terms of how he views them.

@ladynighthaunter

'I'm getting weird vision's about one of your son's called Talos, may I meet him?'

Summary

Steve Harrington was born an Alpha. Everyone in his life had expected him to be an Alpha so they weren't surprised

Everyone except himself.

After over two years of saving every spare dollar, Steve is finally ready to take the final leap to transition from the Alpha he appears to be, to the Omega he’s always known he is. When the clinic pairs him with Eddie Munson as the Alpha that is meant to help guide him through his transition, it only takes one meeting for Steve to realize that he may not want to let go of Eddie when it’s all over.

Author Summary: There is a strong arm curled around his torso, the appendage keeping him close to its owner, whose warm breath is ghosting over the back of his neck. Sonic is sure he went to bed alone the previous night, but he isn't worried about the intruder. After all, this isn't the first time this has happened...'

My summary: Shadow keeps Sleepwalking into Sonics bed. Sonic wants to find out why. Some angst, some feelings, some humor. This is really good. You should read it.

Seclusion

(trimmed post, from here)

@divinacaptivus

The ancient knew of this shadow-world, but not the name the debased creatures who traversed it knew it by. Its Aeldari name ultimately didn't matter. It would be his to command in due time. His work was only beginning. "This artifact will elevate us, my child. With it, we shall attain our ascendancy." At last, the deathless tyrant closed his book and rose from his chair, fully regarding his treasured guardian. She was among the few permitted to see him so vulnerable, here without armor, without weapons, without the symbols of power that followed him wherever he went. Here was adorned not in stately silks, but a simple and comfortable robe, his ebon hair tied back by a strip of cotton. Here he wasn't even crowned in gilded laurels. Here he was so obviously and painfully human. "Walk with me."

One gift after another. To be allowed to see him as he truly was. To be recognized for her effort. To be invited to walk with him. A warning in the corner of the HUD in her helmet reminded her of how depleted her armor was of painkillers and clotting agents. Kahtylin, her armory thrall, would be displeased at the delay to the Palace’s Apothecarium, both for the duties of maintenance and the grievous injuries that could not heal properly without intervention. Arturia did not begrudge her concern; it made her a good servant, but she let the thought to ask for leave pass as she fell into step beside her master. 

Within the halls of the massive library, it was possible to imagine him in another life, a different circumstance, perhaps as one of the great philosophers of old. Still a leader of men, but in art and science rather than in violence. He seemed smaller here, but no less resplendent. She wondered with a wry smile if this might be their future, when his dream was fulfilled.

Their quiet footsteps were the only things that stirred amongst the long aisles of books, tomes and scrolls. “What comes next?”

Roboute had been called to speak to their father, unaware of what was to unfold. In secret he'd talked of so many things with Aurelius that would have made the Emperor furious. But the two brothers saw no harm in what they thought. Sure in some cases there was no way to make peace and call for mutual aid, like the orks, but most other xenos civilizations were so advanced and could be useful to the Imperium. But when Aurelius had gone to speak with father, he was angry, so very angry. And now he was being drug into the fight.

For what was maybe one of the few times in his life, he felt true fear. A fear that made it hard to breathe, his heart hammering in his chest like a bird trying to escape a cage. His older brother towered over him, shielding his view from their father entirely. It wasn't like he was trying to hide, but he couldn't make himself step out from behind him. Not when he could be faced with excommunication like Aurelius now was. To be thrown away, cast aside by their father, because they did not strictly adhere to what he wanted, scared him.

And now, he realized, Aurelius was defending him. Not only that, but he was lying for him; lying to hide the fact they shared views, that Roboute agreed more with his older brother than the Emperor. That scared him even more. What if father found out? What if he realized Aurelius had lied to him? What would happen then?

"You are trying my patience, child." Atlas pinched the bridge of his nose. "You are not the one I'm trying to speak to right now. Guilliman. Come here."

The command of his father's voice made him freeze up, hesitating to move out from his brother's shadow.

Wellengang der Herzen (Beach AU)

Summary:

Adam und Leo wachsen als beste Freunde in Saar Beach auf. Adams Vater will aus seinem Sohn einen Profi Surfer machen. Mit achtzehn hat Adam genug von seinem Vater und es treibt ihn in das internationale Glanzlicht des Profi-Surfens. Leo übernimmt währenddessen in Saar Beach die Werkstatt seines Vaters und verdient sein Geld mit der Reparatur und Instandhaltung von Bootsmotoren und Hochseefisch- & Tauch-Trips für Reiche. Fünfzehn Jahre später zieht es Adam zurück nach Saar Beach, wo er wieder auf seine Jugendliebe Leo trifft.

Leo als vermauerter Fischer/Mechaniker, der sein Herz verschlossen hat und kein Hemd ohne Ölflecken besitzt, und sich durch die reichen Yacht-Besitzer und Feriengäste vögelt, manchmal zum Spaß, manchmal gegen Geld. Der einen Stamm-Yachtinstandhaltungs-Gast hat, den er ganz heiß findet und bei dem er überlegt, ob es nicht mehr werden könnte, bis der ihm offenbart, dass sie sich erst nach dem Wochenende wieder treffen können, weil seine Familie kommt. Er vermisst seine Jugendliebe, aber weiß, er muss allein klar kommen.

Adam als erfolgreicher (pampiger, bad boy) Profi-Surfer, dem das Glanzlicht von Anfang an zu viel war, der den Sport aber als einzigen Ausweg aus seinem Leben in Saar Beach sieht und der denkt, er kann nichts anderes, als Profisportler zu sein. Als sein Manager/Liebhaber ihn gegen ein jüngeres Modell eintauscht, erinnert er sich, dass Geld kein Glück kaufen kann und zieht zurück nach Saar Beach, um zu sehen, ob er nicht vielleicht dort noch mit diesem Jungen, der ihm die ganzen Jahre nie aus dem Kopf gegangen ist, die große Liebe finden kann.

Leo will nicht die zweite Wahl sein und befürchtet, dass Adam zum Profisport zurückkehrt. Er will nicht schon wieder übergangen werden und deshalb nichts von Adam wissen. Adam hat es schwer, Fuß in Saar Beach zu fassen, weil er keinen Job hat und hört die Rufe der Sportwelt. Vielleicht sollte er doch einfach weitersurfen?

Zaghafte Annäherung folgt, inkl. Drama im dritten Akt, happy ending.

10 things I thought about while watching SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE

Miles Morales swings back into action in "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," proving he's the hero we need – or just the hipster of the Spider-Verse, complete with a penchant for avocados.

Spider-Gwen's sass level is off the charts. She's like the Deadpool of the Spider-Verse, breaking the fourth wall and leaving villains more confused than a cat at a laser light show.

Spider-Man Noir's back, fighting crime with a side of existential dread. Is he a hero or just a detective caught in an identity crisis? Someone get this man a colour wheel.

Spider-Ham's puns are as relentless as a swarm of angry bees. Are they still amusing or reaching porky pun saturation? It's a ham-fisted attempt at humour that might just leave you groaning.

Peni Parker brings the anime vibes to the Spider-Verse, but it's like watching an episode of "My Spider-Mech Suit Can't Be This Cute." Kawaii or kawow, the jury's still out.

Kingpin's shoulder-to-head ratio is back and still a geometric mystery. Is he storing secrets under those shoulders, or is it just a secret stash of snacks?

Dr. Olivia Octavius is back with her tentacles, and it's less science experiment and more interpretive dance. Is she conducting experiments or auditioning for a Spider-Man-themed Broadway musical?

The introduction of the new Spider-Folk raises questions. Are they fresh heroes here to steal the spotlight, or are they just glorified extras caught in a web of confusion?

Prowler's back and I can't help but wonder if he's still jamming to the same tunes. Does he have a killer playlist, or is it stuck on repeat like a broken record?

The multiverse logic in Across the Spider-Verse is more tangled than a spider's web after a caffeine binge. It's like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded – you might figure it out or end up more confused than ever.

🌟- The Emperor

Send a 🌟 + a name and my muse will talk about their bond to that character!

"I don't trust him. He tells me a lot, but tells me nothing at the same time. I held up my end of the bargain, but he doesn't seem to care about his. It's coming, I know it is. I can feel it pound against the walls, and he doesn't care!" Meredith sighed, annoyed.

"K̷͉̟͍̥̠͕̺͇̅́̊̑̀̈̑͒͆̄̒̿̉̅̓̕��̨̡̡̞͎͙̰̭̻͓̯̜̘̠̪̺̜̻̬̪̬͔͜͜u̷̧̨̪̫͔̯̲̲̞̳͙̝͚͙̱͚̝̫͇͚̫̭̫̹̣̖͇̜͍̐͌͒̏̇͐͂͑ͅs̴̢̧̛͇̺̤̠̤̹̠͕̪͎̯̏́̔̅͊̈́̒̀́͊̈́̔͜͠͝͝ḭ̷̹̱͓͔̮͙̘͚̰͍̭͖͙̻͈̒̒̈̀̃̉̋̂̓̀̈́͒̉͌̎͂̏̇̌̔͌͂̚͝͝ģ̷̨̧̢̨̧̢̢̱̯͍̝͙̬̙̺̭͕̳̩̲̘̩͙͇͍̣̘̮̻̪̝̯̪̠̰͕͕̤̋͛̀̅͐͐̉̒͛̋̓̃̇͛͑͊̉̂̏͆͊͛̈̍̂̐͌̈̓͜͝͝" will be the death of us all. Don't know how, but it'll come."

@tertiusdecimusfilius continued from here.

The horrid connection made things hard to hear, much less comprehend. Silence persisted on the other end for a few moments, the only thing being heard were what could be described as rasps of breaths-- like the very vox spirits attempting to come forth were bleeding to death.

" m̢̍͑̌ ͯ̄ͬh̡ͫe̔̄̀ͬ̆̈́̉ ̨-̷̓̿͋̆̃̉ͪ- ̓rͪͨ̉eͥ͗̀!ͭ Ĝ̑͠ỏ̧̂́͛̌̎ ͣͣ͜n̎o͐̀̊͊̆̐rͨ̽ͧͦ̂͞tͬ̑̐͒̈́̎ͤh̾̈̃ͭ̌.͞ ͣͫ̐͆I̶ͭͩ̍͑̔̓ͨ ̢a̓̍̍ͤ̃m-- "

More crackling... but what would be left with the Lord-Commander was one last part of this mysterious message being ended with a single...

" B̴͊i͋ͦͧ̔͆ͬ̓̀gͤͨ ̾̾͜bͬͪr̿ͧ̑oth͢e̢r̓ͭ̆͑.̡̒̂́ "

And suddenly, the vox spirits were released from this odd hold, only bringing further confusion to the crew. Some tried to continue their duties, yet others would look to the Avenging Son for guidance. "My lord..." came the voice of one deck officer, voice quiet, " ... what should we do? It could very well be a trap. We cannot find the identifications of who they were... "

Some Ultramarines looked to each other-- but they were at the attention, ready for action alongside their Primarch.

❄️ - One muse keeps to themselves in a secluded place and the other stumbles upon their sanctuary.

@divinacaptivus

As daylight gave way to dusk, the braziers illuminating the endless halls of the palace cast ever longer shadows down its length. The Palace was itself a city that never truly slept, even as the night cycle took root and its afternoon inhabitants passed their duties on to the evening crews. She slipped through the corridors, past dignitaries and servants too engrossed in dataslates and commlinks to raise their heads at her passing. The few mortals who spotted her only saw the resplendent pale gold auramite and rippling cloak.

Closer to the center of the palace, fewer mortals occupied the halls. Baroque gave way to something older, more native to the Himazalia Mountains. Here, her brothers kept watch. Each saw her, giving salutations with a nod or a hand sign, and noted the holes in her tattered cloak, the rending tears in her armor, and the faint smell of blood that followed her. None made to stop her- all understood there would be time for healing, and for repair, after the mission was complete, and that included the final report.

Her destination was not to the Tribune who oversaw Ephoroi, or even the Captain General Constantin Valdor, as was typical. But this mission was different. What she had recovered- had He known, when she received her orders? Perhaps telling would have changed the outcome. The questions had swirled in her mind in the still moments of void transit and so they swirled now, the closer she came to the pressure of His presence. Oathsworn serfs were unloading the cargo now, overseen by her Armory Thrall, to have it carried back to the laboratories for she expected would be further study, and then- whatever He willed to be would be. She blinked hard, clearing her vision as much as her mind as she searched the inner sanctums for her master. Here it was as much knowledge as it was by sense to find Him, from the gardens, to the laboratories, to the creches. She almost moved on when she finally spotted Him, deep within His favored library. 

“Your Majesty.” Arturia dropped to one knee, bowing her head in deference.
