Brevent and Planpraz via Chamonix 🏔️

[varpusvaras]

Thinking about Index...my beloved sweet Index. And his doctor wife who affectionatly calls him Young Man and Doctor. They both use "Doctor" as a term of endearement. She walked out of the work one day and the next day walked in and told everyone when asked what she had done the last night that oh, she had just been hanging out with her seven sons. She hadn't had kids the last time anyone spoke with her, which was the previous day. All of her sons are adults and at least twenty. She's 36.

The bar was crowded when the two of you walked in. Jake had brought you home to Texas during his two week brevent after the mission. 

You constantly teased Jake while at the Hard Deck, saying that he needed to take you line dancing whenever the two of you went back to Texas. 

Coming to Texas, Jake took you out and dressed you in a perfect outfit for you, buying you your first pair of cowboy boots. At his family ranch, his sisters taught a few popular dances that were played down at the bar. 

It was Friday night, Jake’s sister was helping you out with a few final touches to your outfit and makeup before they heard someone clear their throat.

You gulped, seeing his biceps practically bulging out of his shirt that had to be a few sizes too small. His sisters left the bathroom all giggling to each other seeing how you looked at Jake. 

“You ready darlin’?” God you couldn’t even answer, the little Texas accent he had coming out more than usual. 

“You ready darlin’?” God you couldn’t even answer, the little Texas accent he had coming out more than usual. 

Guiding you down the house, the rest of his family were all in the living room, his mother cooing at the two of you together. Getting in the car and driving towards the bar, Jake’s hand rested on your thigh. 

Turning into a gravel lot, the bar kept with a saloon vibe. Coming to the other side of the truck, opening the door for you, Jake gave you his hand, helping down and out. It was barely 10pm, and you could see all the cars in the driveway, expecting the bar to be crowded.

“C’mon now.” You were practically frozen in your spot, making Jake basically drag you inside. The music was loud, everyone on the floor dancing, and at the bars. Your eyes jumped to almost every single object in the room, getting a feel for the night.

Meeting some of his friends, you noticed how each of the girls had been wearing cowboy boots, and with the look of their boyfriends hat hair, it wasn’t their hat that was on their head. 

You seemed to notice how many women had hats on their heads.

Not wanting to ask Jake and seem stupid, you turned to one of the girlfriends of Jake’s friends. 

“Why do all the girls wear hats?” You asked. You along with two other girls sat in a booth on the side of the bar. 

The two of you girls side eyed each other before turning back to you. 

“It kind of means that if you’re wearing a man’s cowboy hat, you’re taken, you’re with him.” The first girl, Ava explained. 

“If she’s wearing the hat, she’s riding the stallion.” The other, Izzy snorted. 

You furrowed your brows and didn't really get her joke. Ava seemed to notice your perplexed look before speaking again.

“Wearing a hat, ends up in your man's lap. Save a horse, ride a cowboy.” She smirked.

Finally understanding, you felt a little disheartened. You and Jake had been together for almost 3 years now, and you thought it was serious. 

“Hey.” Izzy grabbed your hand, “Don’t think too much about it, I can see that Jake clearly loves you, a hat isn’t going to change that.”

Taking your mind off the situation, Izzy and Ava brought you out to dance. You quickly noticed how many people were looking at the three of you, more looking at you. Remembering that Izzy and Ava had their boyfriends’ hats on, you were in the eyes of everyone else, single. 

Across the bar, Jake was gripping onto his beer tight, his eyes slightly twitching when he saw another man come up to dance with you. 

“You good there Seresin.” Izzy’s boyfriend snorted, knowing what was exactly going on. Jake was never one to be jealous, he put his trust in you, and knew that you wouldn’t do anything to mess with that but seeing that man dancing with you, though you kept your distance from him, he couldn’t keep the green monster inside him calm. 

Taking a break after your fourth dance, the three of you made your way towards the bar. Leaning against the countertop, your forearms rested on the edge, taking in deep breaths, when you felt someone brush up against you. He was quite the opposite of Jake, a few inches shorter, his skin more tan, his hair brunette. 

Jake always had a cocky smirk whenever he flirted with you but the guy next to you had a genuine smile. 

“Oh I’m sorry.” You already started to deny him.

“I know, you’re with Seresin.” You stared at him in shock, not even knowing the man. “Don’t worry, I’ve known Jake for ages. Just stepping on his toes so he can finally make his move.”

Laughing slightly, you turned to see Jake looking green. Though the two of you were already together, you needed that hat. 

“He’s coming.” You noticed turning back to the guy, “Pretend like I said something funny?”

Jake heard your laugh as he walked up to the two of you, seeing you wrap your hand around the guy’s hand, throwing your head back. 

“Yoder.” Jake saw who had come up to you, “You’re with my girl.”

You never understood why you thought Jake looked even better when he was possessive, maybe he was the way his jawline was more prominent when he clenched it or maybe he flexed his muscles so they could look even bigger. 

“He just offered me a drink, it’s fine Jake.” You were adding flame to the fire. 

Feeling a grip on your shoulder, Jake turned your shoulders, wrapping an arm around your waist, pulling you away from him. 

“What was that?” You were both outside now, Jake was practically fuming and you tried so hard not to laugh. 

“What?” You feigned innocence, “He was just being nice.”

“He should have known better.” He scoffed, rolling his eyes, not wanting to be mad at you.

“Well he didn’t know we were together?” You smirked. 

“What- what do you-oh.” Jake was confused, he had known Yoder for years, and spoke about you constantly and showed him pictures. The gears in his head finally clicked, seeing the slight glimmer in your eyes. 

“All that for a hat?” He chuckled.

“Yes!” You slightly whined, “Jakie, we’ve been together forever, I wanna wear your hat.”

He couldn’t help but laugh, wrapping his arms around you, bringing you into a hug. Pulling away, he lifted the hat off his head, putting it on yours. 

Slightly adjusting it, you took a couple steps back presenting yourself. 

“What do you think?”

“I think my night is gonna end well.” He smirked, wrapping arms around your waist, slowly lowering his hands down to the swell of your ass. “Gonna ride your cowboy tonight?”

Slipping away from his grasp, you started to make your way back to the bar, before turning your head over your shoulder, giving him a flirty smile.

“I’m gonna ride an aviator.”

Holidays on the move - the best ski resorts in the world

While many people dream about the coming of summer, looking sadly at the snow outside the window, skiers and snowboarders are looking forward to an exciting vacation. On the eve of the winter season, the famous American travel magazine Condé Nast Traveler published the results of the Conde Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards. More than 800,000 readers participated in it, who for several months shared their opinions on the offers and services of the tourism market. Based on the survey results, a rating of best ski resorts in the world was compiled that are worth visiting for all lovers of active winter recreation.

Les Arcs La Plagne, France

In the heart of the French Alps, the Haute-Tarentaise Valley, is the famous ski resort of Les Arcs. Together with Peisey-Vallandry and la Plagne it forms the single Paradiski ski area.

The ski complex offers guests 425 km of slopes of varying difficulty levels, located at altitudes from 1200 to 3225 m. Both beginners and experienced skiers will enjoy skiing here.

Each level has at least one descent, illuminated at night. Les Arcs offers many active holiday options for those who do not like skiing. In the Ark-1800 zone there is a snow park with figures, a halfpipe and boarder cross tracks. Several slopes are suitable for freeride. The Launched Kilometer trail offers ziplining.

                               🌾 ❛❛🧛🏻‍♂️👑💘La respuesta le gustó, le encantaba escucharlo.—¿Mucho o solo poco?—Ladeó una sonrisa dejando una caricia en su cuello. Con respecto a lo de Kellan, analizó aquello. Se sintió un poco egoista al pensar de esa forma. Suspiró con culpa.—tienes razón, siempre la tienes, amor mío—Asintió.—Debemos hacerlo, darselo a Kellan y Nick. Comenzaré cuando esten con nosotros aquí—Prometió con una pequeña sonrisa. —Por favor—Pidió deseando que así fuera.

Sinceramente Daeron si se estaba divirtiendo con ese drama organizado por aquellos 2. —Es correcto, ustedes pidieron que fuera sorpresa, estamos tratando de mantenerlo así—Afirmó Daeron. Lo que no se esperó fue aquella jugada. —De hecho sí, queremos besarlos, así como ustedes a nosotros.—Replicó mirandolos abrazarse y besarse, se veía realmente bien. —¿Ya los haz visto, mi alma?—Chasqueó con la lengua, como si no hubiera más remedio en ese comportamiento. —Los amamos, y nos derretimos por ustedes—Dijo lanzando 2 besos uno para cada uno.—¿Contentos?—Consultó.—Y solo para que conste, se ven realmente sexys besandose—Les dedicó un guiño coqueto.

                             🌾 ❛❛🐺💘🌚Nick se soltó a reir con aquello.—Eventualmente no, sino inmediatamente—Le picó las costillas, sabiendo que así reaccionaban ellos ante Daeron o Tarik. —Razonable es con que te coqueteen—Acusó negando con la cabeza. —Te adoro—Replicó dejandole un beso en los labios antes de seguir con lo de Aiden. Escuchó con atención a Kellan, la verdad tenía mucha razón, se avergonzó de ello.—Bueno, es que no sé a veces siento que es así—Se encogió de hombros.—¿Tú no te cansarías?—Preguntó.—Bien, no me respondas, y sé la respuesta—Rectificó.—No me voy a conformar te lo prometo. Voy a pasar tiempo con Aiden, porque la verdad si lo extraño mucho—Admitió, después de todo era su hermano, su mejor amigo y una la figura paterna; su familia. —Bueno, entonces hay que hacerlo—Respondió con una sonrisa entusiasmada.

Nick enarcó una ceja mirando a Daeron y a Tarik.—Es que no solo es con esto, es en general, no hemos visto que se derritan por nosotros, ¿cierto?—Miró a Kellan en busca de apoyo. Realmente Nick estaba disfrutando este revuelo, en especial cuando lo abrazo, lo que le permitió besarlo mejor.—Sí, primero ustedes—Replicó Nick volviendo a besar brevente a Kellan solo para provocar a los otros dos, aunque para ser sinceros, los provocados tal vez eran ellos.

🧑🏼‍🎤💖🎵. —A mí me encantas tú —exclamó gustoso de su cariño—. Puedes darle todo lo mortalmente posible, amor mío —se explicó mejor; ahí existía una diferencia—. Debemos hacerlo, tanto para Kellan como para Nick —repuso con firmeza. No podían ignorar las vivencias de Kellan—. Para la eternidad.

—Lo único que pasa, amor mío, es que este secreto no es negociable —replicó con una sonrisa igual de tranquila. Sabía que no les gustaría la respuesta de Daeron. Trató de no reír de la respuesta de Nick—. Oh, eso es cruel, cariño, nosotros también tenemos ganas de besarlos —replicó al observarlos que, en realidad, encontraba cierto gusto al verlos así—. ¿Al menos nos mandan un beso? Prometemos recompensarlos.

💖🧙‍♀️✨. —Hazlo, lobito, estoy seguro que seré como una roca… Una roca que eventualmente hará lo que le pidan —rió— por un precio razonable —agregó tratando de no volver a reír—. Lo sabía —se jactó elevando el mentón—. Nick, ¿te estás escuchando? No se trata de que él te cuide, se trata de disfrutar a tu hermano y no volver a perderte nada de sus sueños, o tus sueños —explicó—. Además, Aiden te adora, ¿por qué crees que lo molestarías? —Apuntó—. Y —agregó—, recuerda lo que te dije: te mereces el amor y la atención de las personas a las que amas, no te conformes —repitió dispuesto a decirlo tanto como fuera necesario—. Es cierto, podría ser en la isla —se emocionó—. Es cierto —aceptó, para luego asentir con una sonrisa coqueta.

—Eso no es justo, amor. No están aquí, no tenemos otra opción —se quejó enfurruñado. El gesto cambió cuando Nick tomó la iniciativa—. Es verdad, miren de lo que se pierden por estar en no sé dónde, buscando no sé qué —les sacó la lengua y atrajo a Nick par abrazarlo—. No, ustedes deben hacerlo primero —reclamó.

Europe from above the clouds atop Mont Blanc. 🚠🏔️

[varpusvaras]

I was talking with @the-starry-seas about cityboy Fox last night, and how he definitely has some problems with the nature. They said a certain thing would be funny. I had to write it.

Nature is good for the physical and mental health, the neon signs advertising plants and heatlamps for the citizens living in the towering buildings of Coruscant had said. Nature is good for the physical and mental health, the medical guidebook they had received at the start of their posting had said. Nature is good for the physical and mental health, the Jedi healer at the Temple had said. Nature is good for the physical and mental health, Doctor Brevent had said once Fox had landed on Alderaan.

The thing was, they were all correct, of course. It was all based on multitude of scientific studies, after all, and it wasn't like Fox didn't feel a lot better after only a single week on Alderaan. Of course he did. He got sunlight for multiple hours a day now, which corrected his circadian rhytm and boosted the amount of vitamin D in his body. He got fresh air, which did away the persisten cough he had had for the past year and a half. He got to move in an environment that wasn't all hard ground and harsh edges, which did wonders for the chronic pain on his legs and lower back. He woke up every day, listening to the soft winds and birdsong or soft rain, and it all just really, really made him more relaxed than he had ever been in his entire life.

So, yes, Fox would admit that nature was, indeed, good for his physical and mental health. He also loved Alderaan, loved the forests with pinetrees and hardwood and soft sandy paths, loved the mountains rising at the skyline, loved the little streams and rivers and lakes and the garderns around the Palace. The first time he had laid down on a patch of grass had quite literally given him five more years to his life.

The thing just was, that other things loved all of the same things as Fox did.

There had not been a lot of nature on Coruscant. Okay, scrap that, there had not been any nature on Coruscant. Whatever there was, was just patches of man-made greenery, reserved for limited population only, or things that had found their place in the darkest depths and shadowy corners of the planet. If you were on Coruscant and heard something that sounded too animalistic, it was your first, last and only chance to run.

It turned out that on Alderaan, many things were loud. Even worse, none of it made any sense.

Fox could understand the large cat-like predator that roamed around the woods at the foot of the mountains being loud. What he didn't understand was why the thing sounded disturbingly like a woman screaming. Even less he understood why the much, much smaller forest-cat, that was the height of Fox's shins and ate mostly small lizards also made a very similar sound.

His first weeks on Alderaan had been full of heart attacks. An evening walk with Breha, where she showed him the shining starling butterflies? Almost ruined because an actual fox had decided to sneak into the flower garden and screamed at him from behind a bush. Breha had thought it hilarious. Fox had thought about running away to some desolate moon in the Outer-Rim.

Now, after little over two years, Fox was...fine, with most of the things. He knew what all the animals sounded like. He knew not to sit on the ground after rain because there would be worms and snails. He knew not to go out for too long on the warmest days of late spring, because the pollen season was at it's peak then.

He had learned a lot of things, and he didn't feel like a stupid boy who had only ever seen sterilized white walls and concrete ground. Of course that was what he had been, but still. Fox felt like he could almost pass as a local these days.

Even certainly did, Fox thought, as he watched his son run along the edges of the small pond they had in the front garden. It was so shallow that the water barely reached to Fox's ankles, so it was fine letting Even be there by himself and watch the little water lilies and water bugs float on the surface.

Fox had not known a lot about babies when he had taken Even with him, but he had been more than eager to learn everything there was to learn. His son deserved only the best, and that meant that Fox had to also be the best father he could possibly be. Fox had learned that babies explored the world with touch, and that most of the time, they had no sense of danger, and would stuff anything and everything they got their hands on into their mouths.

It had just taken him a while to just figure out how much babies and little kids wanted to grab things and munch on them. It had been the thing that had made him most anxious, actually, once he had realised how eager Even was to put his hands and whatever was in them into his mouth. Fox thought he was being rather sensible being anxious about it. Too many things in the Galaxy were a serious choking hazard. Too many other things were...otherwise unsavory. Fox had almost screamed and thrown up at the same time when Even had somehow found a dead beetle and had already stuffed the fist that contained said beetle into his mouth.

Breha and Bail had tried to calm him down. It was a good thing he was vigilant, they had said, but not everything was so dangerous that Fox needed to lose either his sleep, his dinner or both. Kids needed to get dirty every now and then, they had said. It would boost their immune system. Bail had told Fox that he had apparently eaten sand when he had been little, and he was fine and healthy. Breha had continued with her own story of how she had eaten the leaves off of her mother's dayflower bush and the grass around it at the age of three because she had pretended to be a bantha while playing. She was also fine and healthy, and whatever health problems she had, were not the result of her getting some uncooked greenery into her system. Nature was good for your physical and mental health, they had said.

They were probably right, even if it all gave Fox shivers. But, perhaps, the problem was indeed Fox. After all, he was someone who had lived his entire life surrounded by sterilized walls or concrete ground.

Most importantly, Even was happy. Fox still remembered all too clearly the tiny, too-thin and bony baby wrapped inside the paper sheets in a metal cot, left inside the cold and lonely Kaminoan nursery. He still remembered that child, too small, too fragile, too quiet, a child whose big brown eyes had just stared at nothing at all and whose only way of communication had been wrapping his tiny fingers around Fox's.

That child was nowhere to be seen now. Even had a plump stomach and squishy arms and legs and a round, soft face, that was most of the time spread into a wide, toothy smile. He ran with little but surprisinly quick, wobbling steps, and babbled incessantly all the time and laughed loudly and without care every time Bail would scoop him up and twirl him around in the air.

Even lived surrounded by the exact opposite of the things Fox had, and he was all the better for it.

Fox watched as Even stopped to look at something at the ground, and then jump towards it, his hands grabbing at the grass. A small, bright green frog leaped up and into the safety of the water.

Fox held back a grimace. Yes, he was fine with most things these day, but there were still things he was less than enthusiastic about. Bugs were fine. He didn't go into a full panic when seeing one, but that didn't mean he wanted them anywhere near anyone's mouths. Lizards were actually pretty fun, at least the ones that lived on Alderaan, especially the little ones that lived on the trunks of trees and has round faces and equally round eyes and very stubby legs, or the blue ones that lived near streams and had become far too friendly with people, and would come over to see if you had something sweet for them to snack on.

It was the things that were wet and slimy and sticky that he was not alright with. Not that he would start to scream, either, but he'd much rather not have any close contact with any of them. He hated the feeling of them grabbing onto him, the many times featureless exterior creeped him out, and they were most of the time even more dirty than anything else.

Even jumped forwards again, falling onto his knees, and another frog jumped up from the grass. The frogs were fine. Totally fine. They were small and harmless and sometimes even kinda cute with their exaggeratedly large eyes. Sometimes. Most of the time they were wet and sticky and at least slightly slimy, but they were fine. It was fine, and they were definitely too fast for Even to catch. It was fine.

Fox glanced around a bit, Even still staying at the corner of his eye. Bail was also out, and was currently catching up with one of their Captains. Breha still had to finish up some work, but she would be out soon as well. Fox had brought his datapad with him, since he had a new book he wanted to read, but he had not yet gotten around to even opening it. He had been too busy watching Even play to be able to concentrate onto the story.

Speaking of Even, Fox saw him turn towards him all of a sudden, his hands clasped together and a bright smile on his face.

"Buir!" He yelled. He still couldn't quite get the r-sound right at the end, so it sounded more like Buij. Breha thought it was adorable. Bail thought it was adorable. Fox thought it was so adorable that he could cry.

Right now, though, he was just a little distracted about what Even was holding in his hands.

"Buir!" Even yelled again, as he stopped right in front of Fox. "Buir, I caught it! For you! A frog!"

Fox looked down on Even's little hands, that were holding something that was definitely not a frog.

It did look like one, but only in the broadest sense. It was much bigger, barely fitting in Even's grasp, and instead of being bright green, it was muddy brown, and had fat, bulging limbs and a large, bumpy body. Despite it being otherwise big, it didn't have the cute, big eyes of frogs, but instead it was staring right back at Fox with two beady little eyes, that were half buried under the wringly skin of its head.

Fox had a brief thought that the thing reminded him about the late Chancellor-turned-Sith, and he liked the thing even less.

It was also definitely wet, sticky and slimy, almost dripping clear goo from its toes.

"Oh", Fox swallowed. "Even, my little heart, that's not a frog."

How had Even caught it in the first place? Was it just too big to move as fast as the little frogs, and hadn't been able to jump out of the way in time? Possibly. It was very still in Even's hands, after all. Too still. Fox hated it.

He would've especially appreciated if the thing stopped staring at him.

Even looked at the thing.

"It's a big frog", he said, still happily enough. "Can we have it?"

The thing stared at Fox, like daring him to say no.

"No", Fox still said, staring right back at it. "No, we cannot, it lives outside."

Even was a well-behaved child who didn't argue too much, and always ate his vegetables and held to their hands if they went somewhere. Fox prayed to the Manda that this wasn't the one thing that he would argue about for some forsaken reason.

Even pouted a little, but then his head whipped to the side, and the big, bright smile was back.

"Mama!" He yelled. "Mama, look!"

Fox turned to look as well. Breha had made her way out as well, and was now standing with Bail and the Captain. She looked really pretty, with a golden band in her hair and the sunlight making her skin and eyes glow softly-

The thing moved in Even's hands. Fox saw it, and turned to look. It was still staring right at Fox, as it squirmed again. Even was still too distracted by Breha, that he didn't notice the movement.

Fox opened his mouth to tell Even to put the thing down, when it squirmed yet again, and with surprising speed, it drew its legs under its body and leaped up.

Fox didn't have the time to move. The thing's beady black eyes stared right at him as its round and squishy body flew across the small distance between Fox and Even, and landed right on Fox's face with an audible, wet smack.

One of its sticky, goopy legs stuck right into Fox's mouth.

Even was staring at him now, with wide eyes and his hands grasping at nothing.

Fox definitely screamed.

Brevent : La Fin de Babylone

This sport route was the best I have climbed up at Brevent. My favourite pitches were the ones I led! I loved the 6c Traverse. And I also loved my 6b+ pitch that went over the overhang. The climb felt pretty mellow compared to some of the other 6a’s in the massif. It was nice to do a route in Chamonix with quick and easy access. A route which we did in a few hours - an afternoon of chilled climbing rather than running for the lift on an all day epic.
