Fuair siad bás ar son Saoirse na hÉireann.
Bobby Sands dies in prison following a 66 day hunger strike. Sands would be the first of ten men to die in an effort to gain political status in a very public battle with British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. In the House of Commons Thatcher commented on Sands death “Mr. Sands was a convicted criminal. He chose to take his own life. It was a choice…

Was feeling a bit angsty last night in the AYCF server, so I decided to draw this beginning of that one scene in chapter 7.

“I’ve arranged for them to both be in the garden at the same time, entirely alone. We’ll see which one leaves alive.”
a little missing scene with Attolia Irene and her father-in-law, drawn at the beginning of last year. After all the building and breaking emotions of the Trial and the conversation afterward, this line was such a perfect shock, packed with pain and humor and promise.
there's also a version of this that I drew immediately after finishing Return of the Thief:

Not sure if you meant for the questions to be askes BUT 9 for like iskra or something would be interesting since there is a mix of human and cardassian culture, does julian celebrate any terran holidays with them?
omg I wish I was a better worldbuilder, people come up with so many fun fake little holidays. Thanks to that one throwaway line in ST:D I've unilaterally decided that Cardassian culture is very food-centric, so you know baby Iskra got taken to lots of street food festivals celebrating military victories and elections..
Julian trying to figure out which terran holidays can be safely transported and re-potted on post-Fire Cardassia (I feel like he still tries to celebrate Federation day at home just so the kids can have some positive associations. Cue him and Lim trying to figure out how to cook a desert lungfish without soliciting their neighbors' help with removing the fibrous capsule..)
Halloween is a safe bet, I think. Scaring the spirits away is vaguely Hebetian and the locals enjoy both tricks and treats. Julian gives his coworkers at the hospital candy to distribute to her.
Still got to be lots of nationalist holidays to celebrate after the war, but now they're very much tinged with bitter memories. Now they're more of an opportunity to complain about the current administration and get drunk (both activities Iskra vigorously enjoys as an adult)

just finished the podcast abt the death of king boris the third & you guys will NEVER believe who the humiliatingly subservient british monarchists running the investigation have concluded did it
you guessed it, it was the soviets! which is a convenient conclusion considering it’s shared by the same royals who took the state of bulgaria to strasbourg asking for their palaces back on account of their human rights being violated LMFAO

#OTD in 1918 – Constance Markievicz while detained in Holloway prison, became the first woman to be elected MP to the British House of Commons.
“I went out to fight for Ireland’s freedom and it does not matter what happens to me. I did what I thought was right and I stand by it.” –Constance Markievicz
During the Easter Rising of 1916, Constance was second in command under Michael Mallin in Dublin’s St Steven’s Green. She proved fearless under fire and fought alongside the men. Eyewitnesses reported she was responsible for the killing of…

AYCF Sparks Part 1: The Alternate (Angst) Ending to chapter 15.
Finally, here is part 1 of AYCF: Sparks, the companion piece that contains all the cut content and other things that didn't make it into AYCF proper. I don't know how long this will be because I'm still on the fence about whether to share some of the cut content or some of it may become a one-shot. But we still have 18 chapters left to go in AYCF, so there will be more stuff that will be cut.
This first part is what you all voted on that you wanted to see first, which is the alternate ending to chapter 15 or, as I like to call it, the angst ending. Seeing as most of this stuff was on the cutting room floor as to say, it is not beta read. This ending is dark, so I am honestly glad you chose the non-angst ending.
