#How To Grow A New Grape Vine Amazing Ideas

[fatguarddog]

You’re a grape farmer for a winery, spending your days mostly alone and tending to the fields.

The god Dionysus takes a liking you you, such a plump figure taking such good care of one of his domains. How could he resist you? How could you resist him? The god of wine and pleasure, mesmerizing eyes and wandering hands undressing you in your fields. The smell of sticky sweet grape juice as he enters your cunt, bigger than any partner you’ve ever dared have and hitting your most sensitive areas with every thrust. Fucking you from behind, onto the ground as the heat takes over. He moans into your shoulder as he cums inside of you, you feel slightly taut from the size of his load.

Lord Dionysus is also a god of fertility after all, and as he pulls out and caresses your body you can already feel yourself changing. The seed he left inside of you fertilized and sprouting, growing rapidly in your womb.

You begin to moan again as the tendrils of a plant twist inside of you, growing longer and thicker with every moment. Not only filling the space they’ve been given, unfurling and expanding until you can see your belly growing to make room. Other tendrils- perhaps roots?- make their way down your cunt towards your entrance, getting thicker and thicker as they go.

The roots of a curling vine push out of you, and you can see past your growing stomach that they must each be a centimeter in length and only getting bigger, beginning to stretch your hole as they reach for soil.

Your lord has been stroking your body this whole while, watching the effect of his seed on such a faithful follower. He picks up your swelling body effortlessly, and you moan as all of the plant life inside you shifts with gravity. The roots dangle out of you, stretching your entrance to the size of a fist… but now displaced from the soil they were seeking. They hang heavy from you as your Lord walks off with you, the two of you disappearing to *his* garden for your vines to grow and root you into the soil. And so, of course, he can enjoy what his new pet grape boy will produce for him….

(No harm done, but not a fan of something aimed at me including references to a womb! Nowadays that language is a bit uncomfy for me and prefer just a vague kind of 'inside you' type thing)

Ooooo, turning into Dionysus' personal grape boy sounds wonderful~ Especially the idea of being rooted down through my cunt like damn... the stretch and writhing of those roots would feel amazing i bet, and I can only imagine what would happen to my body once I have been properly rooted

Would I swell overall huge and juicy like a perfectly flavorful grape? Or would I just become pleasantly swollen with big tits that leak wine and my belly still pushed out from all the vines inside me? Either way, what a blissful existence tended to under Dionysus' care

Warnings: Swearing and mentions of sex

Word Count: 7.9k

 Ever since she was little, (Y/N) had a green thumb. Her parents had her play outside, help them do yard work, and she had her own collection of house plants from a young age. 

It wasn’t until she started getting older that things started to change. Maybe be more than just a “green thumb.”

Leaves grew in her hair and vines wrapped around her legs. Her eyes started changing color based on her mood. She looked like a woodland creature. 

-

With high hopes and her bags packed, she went to Xavier’s school for gifted youngsters. To find someone like her, or just find a place to fit in. 

Her eyes were green and she was ready to meet new people. 

-

(Y/N) fit in great. Her roommate could control the weather, which made their room a true plant haven, and she had a whole group of friends— and if you asked, no one could find anything bad to say about her. 

“She’s so sweet! She gave me some daisies when I was having a bad day.” 

“(Y/N) helped me study for my math test. I got a 92 because of her.”

“(Y/N) threw a surprise party for my birthday. It was wonderful!” 

Everyone liked her, and she liked everyone. Her eyes were almost always green and yellow— meaning she was happy and excited. 

But one day they weren’t green and yellow. 

-

“Alright, everyone. Your partner for the project is listed on the board. You can get to work.” (Y/N) looked over the list eagerly, excited for the inevitable mountain of work she’d be splitting with someone— it would be a good bonding experience. 

Her eyes scanned the list until she spotted her name. (Y/N) (Y/L/N) & Warren Worthington. 

(Y/N) glanced at him. Warren was pulling books out of his bag, earbuds in. 

I don’t… I don’t know Warren that well. This will be a great opportunity for me. We have lots of mutual friends, so this should be easy. 

“Hi.” 

Warren paused his music and pulled out an earbud, “Hey.” 

“We’re partners.”

“Right, right. Sit down.” She pulled up a chair and set her notebook on the desk. “So I was thinking since we have to talk about a political issue, we could do something that has lots of information available. Women’s rights, climate change, issues with the 1%, the problem with the rising trend of plant-based diets, mutant rights…” Warren didn’t say anything. He just listened. “We don’t have to do anything I listed, they’re just suggestions.” 

“Okay… We could do something on mutant rights. That’s probably the easiest since we’re mutants.” 

(Y/N) nodded, “Yeah, that works with me.” She wrote down their paper topic and the due date in her notebook. “I’m not sure if we’ll get enough time in class to work this week so I’ll give you my number.” Warren got on his phone and opened a new contact.

He held it out to you, “Here, just put it in.” 

You took it from his hands and typed in your name and number. You handed the phone back to him and moments later you got a text from an unknown number.

UNKNOWN: This is Warren. 

(Y/N): Hi! This is (Y/N)

He didn’t text back. “Okay, so I’m gonna make a google doc and share it with you.” Warren nodded. 

(Y/N) had a small, lopsided smile on her face. “You don’t talk much do you?”

“I talk.” 

“Yeah, but— I meant… Never mind.”

Warren raised his eyebrows. He knew exactly what she meant. But people weren’t supposed to like him. Warren was evil and scary. Sure, not as much as he used to be, but the school’s Disney princess didn’t need an interest in him. Jubilee and Jean would just yell at him for it, plus a good 30% of the school shipped her with Kurt, and he didn’t want to get in the way of that. 

As the bell rang, dismissing everyone from their class, Warren noticed (Y/N)’s eyes were slightly different as she left his desk. They had a slight bit of pink to them. 

What does pink mean? 

-

“I think he hates me.” (Y/N) announced as she face-planted onto Jubilee’s bed, letting vines grow and cover her like a blanket. 

“Who?” Jubilee asked. 

“Warren! We’re partners for the history paper thing and he, I dunno— he didn’t seem to want to be my partner.” 

Jubilee looked at her sulking friend, “That’s it?”

“I don’t get it! We’re in the same friend group, we probably have similar interests, and I’ve never been rude to him.” 

“He’s probably just tired. School is stressful, and I’m sure he just doesn’t want more work on top of everything he already has to do. I’m sure you have nothing to do with it.”

(Y/N) groaned into the pillow, “I can’t get a bad grade, and if he doesn’t like me then that makes things awkward in our friend group.”

Jubilee laid next to her, face up. “It’s Warren… he’s… he’s got some trauma and other issues. I’m sure he’ll warm up to you eventually… Not everyone’s going to break down their walls after one conversation.” 

(Y/N) groaned against and wrapped her makeshift leave blanket tight around her body. 

“I’m going to get some food… Please take your vines with you when you leave.”

“Yes, mom.” (Y/N) mumbled.

-

“What’s her motive?” Warren asked Peter. Peter shrugged. “There’s no way she’d be nice to me just to be nice.” 

“I dunno, man. She’s nice to everyone, and I’ve never heard one bad thing about her. She yelled at me and her eyes turned red once, but that’s about it.” He took a bite of his sandwich, “Why do you even care anyway?” 

Kurt and Scott sat down with them, interrupting their conversation. 

“Shh! Not now…” Peter waved them off to make them silent. “Answer my question, Worthington.”

“Cause I’m not a good person. (Y/N) shouldn’t want to try and be my friend. Too many people would get upset about it. Do you know how many people want her to date, Kurt? Tiffany Jones DMed me on Instagram telling me to not ruin that. Tiffany Jones! We’ve never even spoken to each other! I didn’t even know she followed me.” 

Peter held back an eye roll. Warren was a good person, despite his past. Would he ever realize this? Probably not. 

“Okay well, (Y/N) is just kind to everyone. It fits her whole “Mother Nature” vibe she’s got going on. Just don’t be a dick to her and you’ll be fine.”

“She wants to date me?” Kurt asked and his cheeks were slightly violet and flushed. 

“No, Kurt,” Warren interjected. “People want you two to date. It’s like Stranger Things— some people wanted Nancy to date, Johnathan, others wanted her to date, Steve. They shipped her with someone. People do it with you and (Y/N), and it’s kinda weird but to each their own, I guess.” 

“Oh... But why me? Why not you or someone else?”

“Because you’re both liked by everyone, and you’re nice to everyone. I’m like... Rodrick from Diary of a Wimpy kid; (Y/N) is a Disney princess. We wouldn’t mix.” 

Peter and Scott tried holding back snickers, as Warren was kinda right. He was a punk emo with daddy issues, and he wasn’t half bad with a drum set.

“Don’t opposites attract?” 

Warren waved him off, “That’s a myth.” 

Kurt shrugged, “Andy and April from Parks and Rec worked out.” 

“They’re fictional, and (Y/N) could date almost any guy here. Why would she want to date me?” 

Silence. “She doesn’t. End of story. She’s just overly nice and I thought for a moment maybe someone was forcing her to be or she like, wanted to sleep with me or something.” Warren shrugged, “I dunno.” 

“You sound like the plot of a Tame Impala song.” Warren threw a grape at Scott’s head, missing him by an inch or so. “Hey! Just because I’m calling you out for obsessing over a girl doesn’t mean you can get mad at me. I could have gotten hurt!” 

“Dude, it’s a grape. Plus you have glasses on. You would have been fine,” Peter said. 

“It’s the matter of the thing.” Peter rolled his eyes at his roommate’s dramatics.

“You know I wouldn’t purposely hurt you.” Warren reminded him. 

“Still… You can’t get mad because a cute girl is being nice to you.” 

“I’m not mad, I’m confused. There’s a difference.” 

Scott nodded mocking him by agreeing, “Uh-huh… And in about a week you’ll be gushing over how amazing she is and how you’d do anything for her, and how you could just watch her do nothing all day.” 

“That’s you. You described yourself.” 

Scott raised his eyebrows as he played with the fry in his hand. “And? I know I’m whipped, I don’t care— You on the other hand…” Warren glared at him. Scott smirked and popped the fry into his mouth. 

“What color were her eyes when you talked to her?” Peter asked.

“I don’t know, uh, green? Aren’t they almost always green?”

Scott nodded, and Peter continued talking. “Yeah, but I was just curious. If she really didn’t want to be nice to you just because then maybe her eyes would have been like brown or something— I dunno. There’s a million different options.”

As Peter was going on and on about (Y/N)’s eyes changing color, Warren’s mind started to drift off to their interaction in class. 

Her eyes were green, but they weren’t pure green… 

“You don’t talk much do you?”

Warren’s eyes met hers, “I talk.” 

“Yeah, but— I meant… Never mind.”

Her eyes were pink. Only for a little while, and Warren almost thought he imagined it— but he didn’t. There was no way. 

But what did pink mean?

“What does it mean if her eyes turn pink? Like a millennial pink sort of.” 

Peter furrowed his brows as he thought for a moment, “You know… I don’t know… I don’t think her eyes have ever turned pink before.”

“Oh.” Warren frowned a little. He was expecting Peter to know, or at least have a vague idea.

-

Warren was showering when his phone dinged. He only had sound on when he wasn’t 100% available, in case of an emergency. 

He held his arm out to grab his phone and keep it from getting wet.

(Y/N): Hey, Warren! 

He sighed, it was just (Y/N). Nothing major. 

Warren: What’s up?

(Y/N): Want to work on the paper together? Ororo ran to the store with Raven so my room is available.

Warren debated for a few seconds whether or not he should go. He didn't have anything else to do, and it wasn’t that late. 

Warren: Sure. I’ll be down in about 20 mins.

(Y/N): *thumbs up emoji*

Warren smiled to himself before finishing his shower.

-

(Y/N) tried to make the room look presentable as possible, which was hard to do with all the plants everywhere— on her side and Ororo’s. 

There was a knock on the door. (Y/N) glanced in the mirror, making sure she didn’t look too frazzled. Then she opened the door to let Warren in.

His hair was damp and he smelt like a vanilla candle, he wore sweatpants and an oversized hoodie. One large enough to hide his wings in, so there were no holes cut in the back. 

“Hi! I hope wasn’t interrupting you or anything…” 

He shut the door behind him, “No, I was just in the shower.” He glanced around the room. Warren had been in it before, most of the time to hang out with Ororo, but he never really paid attention to (Y/N)’s half. Her side of the room was covered in fairy lights and plants. A lot of plants. 

“Sit wherever you want. Just kinda ignore all the plants—“ Some of the vines hanging around her bed moved as she sat down. 

“Okay.” He sat down in the desk chair. 

“So… I got a couple of news articles dealing with mutant rights— one about the adoption laws varying from state to state… another about some of the protests in Chicago due to the girl with gills getting fired from her job…” 

-

Surprisingly, Warren and (Y/N) finished their paper sooner than they thought they would. “I’m gonna send it to Jubilee so she can give criticism since she’s in honors.” 

“Sounds good.” (Y/N) nodded, typing away on her laptop.

Then Warren’s stomach growled. He blushed. 

“Sorry— I didn’t eat after training…”

“You skipped dinner?” 

“Yeah, I wasn’t that hungry and I took a shower. I didn’t really eat lunch either… I’ve been kinda preoccupied—“ 

“What the hell?! You have to eat! Your body needs nutrition! You of all people should know that— you’re like, 90% muscle.” 

“It’s just one time.”

“Doesn’t matter. Come on— we finished our paper. You’re getting something to eat.” 

-

(Y/N) held Warren’s hand as she dragged him into the kitchen. They received a few weird stares, but it didn’t concern her. 

How could Warren be so careless?

“Sit.” She pointed to a bar stool.  “I’ll make something.” Warren nodded and sat down. 

“Do you have any food allergies?” 

“Don’t think so.” 

“Great, I’ll make something basic.” (Y/N) looked through the fridge before settling on the cheese. 

Grilled cheese is easy enough. Plus I can make myself one. 

She turned on a stovetop and put the buttered bread on the pan. 

She grabbed two plates from a cabinet using the vines from her arms— they extended to reach and wrap around the plates and set them on the table. Warren watched in awe. It looked effortless— kind of like when telepaths move things with their mind, they make it seem like anyone could do it.

“Does it take effort? Manipulating plants?” 

(Y/N) shook her head as she set Warren’s sandwich on a plate, and got her’s onto the pan. “Not the vines on my body. Other plants, though, it depends. If I’m just moving a vine or tree branch out of my way, that’s easy, but to have a sapling grow into a fully formed oak tree? That takes a bit more energy. Sometimes in my sleep I accidentally cause plants to grow— I’ll wake up next to an apple tree, or even a pumpkin or watermelon.”

“Really?” He was surprised. 

“Yeah. Also, the weather can affect me too. If it’s sunny out and the plants are thriving, I’m usually more awake and can do more without feeling weak, but if it’s cold and cloudy or even snowing, it takes a bit more effort.” 

(Y/N)’s eyes were a vibrant green and yellow, you could tell she was excited to tell someone about her mutation. She looked genuinely happy to talk about it. 

“That’s really cool. I didn’t know you could do all that.” 

He swore her eyes flashed a bit of pink again, but it could have been the lighting. 

“No one really asks… and besides, you can’t really use plants in the danger room.”

“I bet you could…” Warren offered.  “If you found a way.” 

She glanced down at her sandwich, “Maybe…” 

“Can I ask you something else?”

She looked up and nodded. Her eyes definitely had some pink now. Warren didn’t know why, but he wasn’t going to ask. 

“What’s up with you and Kurt?” 

“Oh— Oh, um, I mean it’s nothing.” Her eyes were purple as she spoke, “People started some rumors after I helped Xavier as his TA for Kurt’s English class, and no one wanted to read for Juliet so I read for her and people decided to ship us. We’re not actually dating.” 

“That was a while back… people still haven’t let that go?” 

She shook her head, “Plus, people think ‘Oh, Kurt’s so innocent, and (Y/N) is too. They’d make a great couple.’ Which is dumb because guys and girls can be similar and just be friends.”

“Yeah, but a lot of people want you guys together. I had a girl DM me on Instagram to not get in the way of it.” 

(Y/N)‘s eyes widened in surprise, “What? Why?” 

“I dunno. I guess she thought I’d pull off some like, fuckboy moves or something.” 

“But you’re not a fuckboy! You haven’t even dated anyone since you came to school here— and I know that’s by choice. There’s at least twenty girls here who’d love to have your tongue down their throat.” 

Warren blinked at her bluntness. He was not expecting that. “I mean… you’re not wrong…” He had a faint idea of who some of the girls were, but he figured ignorance was bliss. If he knew for sure who they were, Warren wasn’t sure he could look them in the eyes. 

He cleared his throat, “Well, there’s a good number of guys interested in you… why aren’t you dating one of them?”

“I don’t want to. I mean sure, there’s tons of cute guys, but I just don’t think it would work out. Plus, too many people would kill them if they weren’t Kurt,” (Y/N) joked. 

Warren smiled, “Yeah, you’re probably right.” He got up, carrying his plate to the sink. 

“I’ve also never had a boyfriend before.” 

He looked at her, curious. “That can’t be true. You’ve never had a boyfriend before?” 

“Nope. I’ve kissed people before and stuff… but, I dunno…”

“Having high standards isn’t a bad thing… Guys can be dumb as shit sometimes.” 

(Y/N) laughed, “Trust me, I know.” 

Warren rose an eyebrow while setting (Y/N)’s plate into the sink. 

“Scott, a  prime example of a dumb boy in a relationship.” 

Warren snickered, “Super smart but dumb as shit check!” 

(Y/N) shook her head, pretending to be disappointed but she had a smile on her face, “God we’re so mean.” 

“A little, but it’s Scott… a little harmless teasing won’t hurt.”

“I guess so.” 

Warren washed his hands and dried them with a towel. “Wanna go back up to my room? Or do something else?... It’s only 7:00.” 

“Yeah, sure.” 

-

Peter and Kurt were in Warren’s room, which he shared with Kurt, when he entered with (Y/N). 

“And where have you two been?” Peter asked, pretending to act like a stern and concerned parent. 

“We finished our paper and I made grilled cheese.” 

“Grilled cheese, huh? No… ulterior motives?” Peter dragged out, just to tease Warren about his disconcerts from before. Warren flipped him off while (Y/N) wasn’t looking. 

“What have you guys been up to?” (Y/N) asked, sitting cross-legged on the floor. 

“Not much. Jubilee asked us to help her organize the third grader’s field trip to the zoo for extra credit from McCoy.” 

“Oh my gosh— I said I’d help her with that—“ (Y/N) looked at her phone and mumbled a curse. “I ignored her message…”

“Just tell her you were busy, I’m sure she won’t mind.” Warren shrugged.

“But I feel bad for ignoring her, plus the extra credit—“ 

“That you don’t need. Don’t feel bad, Jubilee forgets to respond to stuff all the time.” Warren walked over to his closet. “Are you gonna be okay if I take my shirt off?” 

(Y/N)’s eyes widened in shock and confusion, “Why— What— What, why are you stripping?” 

She was sure her eyes were fully purple, I mean, come on! What kind of random question is ‘Are you okay with me taking my shirt off?’ Plus they were in Warren’s bedroom!

“I just don’t want to keep my wings restrained if I don’t have to… I usually don’t in my room, I’m shirtless most of the time.” 

(Y/N)’s eyes flashed magenta for a moment as the thought of a shirtless Warren flashed through her brain for a second. She cleared her throat.

“Yeah, go ahead. I don’t mind.” He nodded and removed his hoodie off, tossing it on his desk chair.

“Well, Kurt…” Peter awkwardly spoke up.  “I think Jubilee wanted our help with the field trip… And with some other stuff…” 

“Vhat?” 

“Remember?” He asked, motioning to (Y/N) and Warren with his eyes. 

“Oh! Oh Yeah! Ve… Ve gotta go.” Kurt waved. 

“Have fun, you guys!” Peter grabbed Kurt’s hand and they disappeared with a puff of smoke. 

“Do they think— because we’re not— I don’t— You don’t—“

“Relax, (Y/N).” Warren chuckled. “That’s just Peter being Peter.” 

“I suppose so…” She grew a flower in the palm of her hand and picked at the petals. 

Warren plopped down next to her, “What do you want to do?” 

She shrugged, “I’m not sure… We could… We could play never have I ever.”

Warren scoffed, “Never have I ever, with only two people?” 

“It’s fun. More... intimate. Ororo and I used to do it a lot when she had trouble sleeping her first few nights here.” 

“Are you trying to sleep with me?” He teased.

“What? No! No, no… Why are you laughing?”

“I was just joking. And you’re reaction was funny. Like we’d ever sleep together.”

She glanced at him, in a bit of disbelief of what he said. “Hmm?” 

“I don’t think— Never mind.”

(Y/N) nodded awkwardly, trying to make herself not feel awkward. She didn’t want to make the situation weird, “I’ll start the game. Never have I ever ditched class.” 

“I have.”

“I know, Jubilee tells me when you two skip to go thrift shopping or to the music store downtown.” 

“You should join us sometime— Never have I ever cheated on a test.” 

“I did once. One time! In third grade, I wasn’t sure how to spell vacuum so I looked at the girl next to me and copied what she put.” 

Warren faked a gasp, “You trouble maker!” 

“It was third grade!” (Y/N) tried to be defensive, but couldn’t hide the smile adorning her face as Warren teased. “My turn. Never have I ever… never have I ever… had a crush on a friend’s significant other.” 

Warren hesitated with his answer. He didn’t really want to tell (Y/N). He didn’t have a crush anymore, and the girl knew— but her boyfriend didn’t. If he found out, Warren was dead meat.

“Who was it?”

“What?”

“The girl you had a crush on…”

“I don’t have a crush on anyone.”

“You were slow at answering. If you didn’t like anyone you wouldn’t need time to answer.” 

Warren shot a dirty look at (Y/N). “I’m sorry… I didn’t mean anything by it, I was just curious—“

“Can we just forget it? She knows, and I don’t like her anymore.” 

“Yeah, yeah… It’s uh, it’s your turn.” 

Warren didn’t say anything.

“You can ask me whatever you want. No matter how personal it seems.” 

“Alright… Are you a virgin?”

I did say he could ask me anything… Plus I did ask him a really personal question… “Yeah.” 

“Oh…” Duh! She’s never had a boyfriend before. What kind of question was that, dumbass?

“I’ve never been in a relationship or had sex— I’m not a prude though, I’ve kissed people before. At like, spin the bottle at a party or something.” 

“I respect that… Relationships are messy and honestly sometimes don’t seem worth it.”

“Yeah,” (Y/N) nodded, fiddling with another flower she grew. “Kissing isn’t that great anyway.”

Warren involuntarily licked his lips, “What do you mean?” 

“It’s either too short and awkward and you bump noses, or like, there’s too much force and pressure to it and the other person collides their teeth with your lips.” 

“Jesus! Who are you kissing?”

(Y/N) chuckles darkly and shakes her head, “You don’t want to know.” 

Warren smiled, “Yikes.” 

They both laughed together. 

When the laughter died down, Warren asked the dumbest question possible. 

“Can I kiss you?” His voice was quiet, soft— different from how it was moments before.

“What?”

“I’ve been told I’m a good kisser…” He awkwardly explained. “I could show you… Change your mind?”

“Change my mind?”

“It could stay between us… It doesn’t even need to have any meaning behind it.” Warren scooted himself so he was sitting face to face from (Y/N). He looked up at her eyes trying to figure out what she was thinking. Her eyes flashed from yellow to pink, then purple. He wasn’t sure what the colors all meant. He made a mental note to learn what they all stood for. 

“Okay.”

“Okay?”

She nodded, “Change my mind.” 

Warren cupped her face in his hand. “Are you really sure about this?”

“Yeah…”

“Alright.” Warren tilted his head to the left a little, to prevent his nose from bumping into (Y/N)’s. He pressed his lips gently against hers. Warren used his other hand to cup the rest of her face. Their lips moved together in perfect motion. A warm feeling formed in Warren’s stomach, and he carefully removed his lips from (Y/N)’s.

It was rather brief, but enough to show (Y/N) what she’d been missing. 

“Wow…” Her eyes were pinker than before. Warren’s face was flushed, but he ignored it. 

“Wow?”

“Yeah, um… wow. That was… That was nice.” 

“Mhmm…” Warren wasn’t sure what to say. Yeah, he was a good kisser, but the kiss didn’t mean anything. It was just showing (Y/N) that not everyone sucks at kissing. The pink in her eyes just meant she was flustered and nothing else.  She wasn’t going to crush on Warren, and he wasn’t going to crush on her. 

-

(Y/N) left after that. She didn’t know what to do. She’d heard rumors about Warren— saying he was a player, a heartthrob, didn’t care about anyone but himself— (Y/N) couldn’t find that to be true. Sure, if she caught feelings she would get hurt because Warren didn’t like her back… but he wasn’t an asshole. 

She sighed, slipping into pajamas. It was easy for everyone else, (Y/N) had no complications with anyone else, everyone liked her and she liked them. She’d only gotten mad at someone once and it was Peter… but Warren… Warren was different. 

Something drew (Y/N) in, and she couldn’t figure out what. Perhaps, despite their differences, they could be good friends. 

As she got under her covers, she sprouted some poppies to help her sleep. 

-

The paper was a huge success! Warren and (Y/N) got a 98% on it. 

“We should celebrate!” 

“What for? You did most of the work.” 

“That’s not true, and besides, I’ve had a tiresome week and I want to relax.” 

Warren shrugged, “Sure. What’d you have in mind?” 

-

“Why are we in the attic?” 

“I thought we could watch a movie or something. Ororo and I have been using it as a greenhouse of sorts, but we haven’t grown enough plants yet.” 

“Yet?!” Warren gaped. The attic was like 80% plant, 20% building, and here (Y/N) was, saying there’s no such thing as too many plants.

She smiled, setting down her laptop and some blankets, “Duh!” (Y/N) messed with her laptop for a few minutes before pulling up Netflix. 

“You can pick something out.” 

“Anything?” (Y/N) nodded. “Are you sure?”

“Yeah,” She was off to the side, messing with a plant. “If you don’t see anything you like, I have Hulu too.”

“Netflix is fine.” 

(Y/N) came back and sat next to Warren. “Find something good?”

“Uh, yeah— yeah.” She peered over his shoulder to see.

“Ooo! The Addam’s family! I love that movie.”

“I haven’t seen it since I was a kid. I barely remember the plot.” 

“Oh, it’s so good! You’re gonna love it.” 

(Y/N) pressed play and got comfortable under the covers. Warren did the same. 

-

The movie was good. Warren really enjoyed it. 

“What’d you think?” (Y/N) was excited in asking him. 

“It was good! Like, really good.”

“Yeah! I really liked Gomez and Morticia and their relationship, even if it is unrealistic… Also for the 90s, the effects for Thing were really good!” Warren nodded, slightly frowning when she talked about Gomez and Morticia’s relationship. 

Is that really what she thinks? Is that why she’s single? 

Why— Why do I even care?! It’s not like I like her or anything.

“Yeah, yeah… We should uh, get going—“ He glanced at the laptop, “—before people ask where we are.” 

“Right! Right… I can get it, no biggie.”

“Sure you don’t want any help?” (Y/N) shook her head. Warren couldn’t help but notice she had a shift in demeanor. Her eyes were fully purple, with pink slowly fading around the pupil. He kept quiet and followed (Y/N) out of the attic.

“Are you going to the mall Friday?” He asked, breaking the silence.

“Yeah.” Scott wanted the group to do something fun for once— plus it was one of the few options Xavier approved of. “Are you?”

“Uh-huh. Peter suggested we go see a movie or something.”

“Yeah, that could be fun. Scott will wanna hit up the arcade but that’s typical.”

They stopped at her door— (Y/N) obviously struggled to open it due to the unwieldy stuff in her arms. “Here— I got it,” Warren opened the door and let her go forward. 

“Thanks.” 

“No problem. I’ll see you later.” 

“You’re leaving?” Warren felt his chest ache, but he dismissed it as nothing. He ate at Five Guys with Jubilee and Kurt the other day. 

“Yeah, I have some homework… Sorry…” 

“You’re okay. I’ll… see you later.” 

Warren smiled and said, “Bye,” before shutting the door behind him. When he was gone, (Y/N) sat down and leaned against the door and sighed. 

She didn’t want him to leave, but she didn’t know what to do or what to say— she wanted to kiss him again. 

No— You can’t kiss him. Warren doesn’t like you. 

She pushed the dirty thought aside and flopped onto her bed, covering herself in ivy to lay and let the sun come through the window.

-

Warren was in Hank’s lab, just for a medical update. Alex was there as well, as he’s never too far away from Hank. 

“Any trouble with your wings?”

“Not really. The feathers grow back metal and they’re heavy. They’re easier to clean than my old ones, but I sometimes miss a spot.”

Hank nodded, skimming some papers. “Do you want someone to help you clean your wings?”

“No! No way,” Warren rose his voice defensively. “I’m not comfortable.” 

“Maybe if you had a boyfriend or girlfriend to help out,” Alex offered. 

Warren rolled his eyes, “Well, I don’t have one and there’s no one here I want to date anyway.” 

Alex smiled to himself, “You mean there’s no one here who you think likes you, so you pretend to not be interested.” 

“Since when did you become my psychiatrist?” Warren squinted.

“Since your movie date.” 

Hank glanced at Alex for a moment before going back to his paperwork, “What movie date?”

“The one he and (Y/N) had yesterday—“

“It wasn’t a date. She just wanted to hang out some more since we finished our paper for English.”

“Mhmm…” Alex didn’t believe it. 

“I’m serious! We are literally in the same friend group, we’re going to hang out together.”

“What Peter’s been telling me is different.”

 Warren almost scoffed in disbelief, “You’re really going to trust Peter over me on this?”

“No, but Peter told me you asked what it means when her eyes turn pink.” 

Hank stopped his work and was fully listening to the blondes argue— “(Y/N)’s eyes have never been pink before, well, not many shades of pink. What was it?” 

“Um… It was only for a moment,” Warren mumbled.  “It could have been the lighting or whatever…”

“No, no, this is really important. I like to keep a note of what each of her colors mean. Even if you just saw her eyes flash, I need to know when, why, and what shade of pink.”

“It’s happened a few times, but never for very long… it’s usually a millennial pink… Um, I don’t think it’s happened around anyone else before because no one else knew what I was talking about when I asked…” 

“How often have her eyes turned pink? What were you guys doing when they turned pink?”

Warren thought back to all the times he swore her eyes turned pink. Nothing huge… Just when we were in class or whenever we’ve hung out this week. Nothing too special— Oh. 

Warren realized something. Something he maybe shouldn’t have. 

Her eyes were fully pink when we kissed… I— I can’t tell Hank and Alex that! They wouldn’t understand and they’d think we’re into each other. Which we are not… Well, I don’t think I’m into (Y/N), but now I’m not sure if she likes me or not.

“Just during class, when we’re alone, just like, whenever we’ve hung out this week. I don’t think it means anything really.” 

“You never know, Warren.” 

He nodded, “Right, right… Am I uh, am I free to go?”

“Yeah, you’re fine, you’re wings are fine. You can access your medical file if you want the details.” 

“Great. Thank you.” Warren hopped off the bed and walked out. 

-

What am I going to do?! (Y/N) might like me! Now I have to put in effort and not seem like a total burnout around her. She’s got high expectations and standards and I’m fucked!

Wait… Warren sat there, confused. Why did he care if (Y/N) liked him?

If I accidentally break her heart, everyone will actually kill me and... I kind of give a shit for once. That’s all…

Warren got his phone out and opened his messages. He opened his conversation with (Y/N). The last thing she sent him was an old picture of Alex she found in the library. 

He typed out hey, ready to send it, but his thumb hovered over the little arrow. What would he even say to her? What if she didn’t respond? What if she actually hated him and that’s what the pink meant? He turned his phone off and set it on his bed. Warren flopped onto his mattress and buried his face into his pillow. 

-

(Y/N) was studying with the other girls. They were reviewing for McCoy’s bio test and she was busy writing down answers for her study guide. 

“Who’s going to the mall Friday?” Jubilee asked out of the blue. 

Jean started listing off people, “Scott, Peter, Kurt, us—“ 

“Warren’s going! He told me,” (Y/N) spoke up. 

“He is?” Jubilee asked. “He didn’t say anything to me.” 

“I asked him yesterday.” (Y/N) had a smile on her face. 

“When?” Ororo got out a pack of gum and offered Jean a piece. 

“We were up in the attic watching a movie.”

Jubilee eyed her, “You guys did what?” 

“We just watched the Addams family. Warren and I are friends.” (Y/N)’s tone was slightly defensive. 

“Your eyes are pink,” Jean stated. 

“What?” (Y/N) quickly looked at herself using her phone’s front camera. “Oh my god—it’s— they’ve— they’ve never been pink before. I don’t know what—“

“Think for two seconds. Who are we talking about?”

Jean! I don’t— I don’t like Warren! Not as a boyfriend. He’s not my boyfriend and he doesn’t want to date anyone.

She smirked. “Keep telling yourself that.”

“I just really like the fact we’re friends now. That’s all. I’m not in love with him or anything…”

What if my subconscious does love Warren? I doubt it. I think I would know if I was in love. 

“And anyway, it’s just a coincidence. They’ve never been pink before so I’m sure finally being friends with Warren just—“

“They’ve been pink before,” Ororo spoke up.

(Y/N)’s eyes widened in shock. “What? When?” 

“I don’t know when exactly, but Peter told me Warren was asking about it a few days ago.” 

(Y/N) was trying not to freak out. “Why was he asking?”

“Didn’t say, but I bet he saw your eyes flash pink or something.” 

“Oh my god…” (Y/N) was horrified. Warren knew. He knew! He knew how she felt and he would probably never speak to her again or break her heart and (Y/N) couldn’t live with either of those options. She didn’t want the first person she’d ever had a real crush on to find out. Warren didn’t want to date anyone! He told her this, right before they kissed in his bedroom… 

(Y/N) buried her face in her hands and groaned. She didn’t know what to do— by this time tomorrow, everyone would know she likes Warren. The embarrassment, the rejection, the humiliation, the—

“Hey, babe. Here’s your textbook you left in my room.” 

(Y/N) looked up and saw Scott giving a book back to Jean. She looked at his face. 

Of course! Scott wears glasses all the time so it’s harder to know what he’s thinking!

“Scott—” 

He turned to face (Y/N). “Yeah?”

“Do you have a spare pair of glasses?”

“Um… I just have my visor. Why are you asking?” 

She waved him off, “Never mind. Jubilee, can I borrow your sunglasses?”

“Sure, why?” 

“I need to cover my eyes. Just for a while. Until this whole, “pink eye” thing stops happening.” 

“Pink eye?” Scott asked, furrowing his brows.

“It’s— It’s nothing, trust me. Warren and I are becoming closer and I’m just happy.”

“Your eyes turn pink when you’re around Warren?” Scott was trying to hide his emotions, for his mind was zooming with thoughts.

“And when we talk about him,” Jubilee teased. 

“You know,” Scott pondered,  “He was asking about that the other day…” 

(Y/N) tensed. Warren had to know. There was no way he didn’t. “He was?” 

“Yeah. What does it mean?”

“It means—”

“—It means,” Jubilee cut her off, “(Y/N)’s got a thing for Warren.”

(Y/N) shook her head, “I do not!” 

“Yeah, you do,” Ororo said offhandedly.  

“It doesn’t matter, okay? I just need some sunglasses to hide my eyes so people don’t know what I’m feeling all the time. Have you ever thought maybe I don’t like being an open book?” The last sentence came out harsher than expected. Everyone was shocked, how could (Y/N) (Y/L/N), the flower child, be so angry? 

(Y/N) looked down, embarrassed from raising her voice, “I didn’t mean to snap at you guys…”

Jubilee spoke over her, “It’s okay. I’ll get you my sunglasses.” 

-

Everything was darker, but that was the purpose of sunglasses, to block out the sun. (Y/N) didn’t mind much, but it was sometimes hard to read text on the board and her eyes hurt by the third period. 

“How do you do this every day?” She asked Scott as they walked down the halls to their next class. 

“I don’t have a choice.” 

“Oh…” (Y/N) glances down at her feet wide-eyed with guilt. “Right…”

“I know you’re doing it for other reasons, but I think it’s cool you’re wearing sunglasses all day. I don’t feel alone.” 

“I can— I can still see color though.” 

“Yeah, but not as well. Sometimes I feel lonely when everyone talks about colors— the sunset, the fruit at the grocery store— hell, I even miss seeing the green grass! The grass!” 

“That must be hard.” (Y/N) couldn’t help but feel pity, even though she knew that Scott didn’t want it. “I don’t think I could ever imagine living in just red…” 

“Sometimes…” Scott sheepishly began, “Jean uses her powers and I can see color for a little bit, but it’s from her point of view, and it’s hard for her. She can only do it for a minute or two, and I don’t want to hurt her.” 

“Aww,” (Y/N) cooed. “You’re so sweet.” 

“Shut up!” A blush covered Scott’s cheeks and he got quiet for a moment. 

“So you and Warren, huh?” 

(Y/N) groaned, “Why am I talking about this with you?”

“Because I’m your only guy friend in a relationship,” Scott offered up as a question. 

She huffed. Scott was right. “Fair point… It’s just… I don’t know… I don’t think he likes me back—which is fine— I just don’t want him to be uncomfortable when he finds out I like him.” 

Scott furrowed his eyebrows, “When he finds out?”

“Pink eyes,” (Y/N) deadpanned. “remember?” 

“Right, right… but how do you know he doesn’t like you back?” 

(Y/N) rolled her eyes, “We can’t have a telepath in our relationship.” 

“What do you mean?” 

“Jean probably knew you liked her the whole time before you dated.” 

“Hold on! She never read my mind— we made a promise—“

(Y/N) crosses her arms and stopped for a moment, “Mmhmm. All I’m saying is, there’s no mind reader between me and Warren. I can’t tell, and he doesn’t know yet… besides, he told me himself, we wouldn’t work out. We’re too different, and too many people want me to date, Kurt…” 

“Opposites attract.” 

“No, they don’t… At least that’s what Warren said…”

“Okay, listen— Warren is the dumbest person I know.”

(Y/N)’s mouth gaped, “Warren’s not dumb, he’s in two AP classes and speaks multiple languages.”

“What—“ Scott squinted,  “What does that have to do with anything?” 

“You said Warren was dumb. I said he wasn’t.” (Y/N) awkwardly crossed her arms. 

“What I meant was, Warren’s being stupid. Thinking he’s not good enough for anyone, how he thinks he’s too punk for you. It’s obvious!”

“What is?” 

“Warren likes you.”

-

(Y/N) stood there, in shock. She didn’t know what to do. 

Warren liked her. Allegedly. 

“How— How do you know that?”

“You can just tell. It’s obvious.”

Maybe… “Oh…” 

A teacher down the hall scolded some students for loitering in the hall. “We better get to class,” Scott motioned to the kids with his head. 

“Um, yeah. We should get going…” (Y/N)’s eyes flashed to purple.

-

Warren saw (Y/N) in the afternoon. She had on sunglasses, and her hair was slightly messy. She looked hungover, but Warren knew that wasn’t her, partying her nights away, (Y/N) was the perfect princess— and Warren? Warren was John Bender from the breakfast club, except he wasn’t in a John Hughes movie, and he didn’t get the girl and have a half-assed happy ending. 

But back to (Y/N). 

“Hey, Shades.” 

“Hi.” She was curt. Did Warren do something wrong?

“Everything okay?”

“Yeah, yeah!” She seemed nervous.  “Why wouldn’t it be?” 

“You’re wearing sunglasses…” He pointed out. “Inside…” 

“Yeah?.... I’m just… I just…” She struggled to come up with an answer. 

“Hungover?” Warren suggested. 

“Pfft… No. I don’t… I don’t really…”

Warren nodded, “Right, right. I don’t really either, but I used to so…”

“I’m trying to hide my eyes.” 

Warren turned face to face with (Y/N), blinking in surprise. 

“Why?”

“Reasons…” 

“What kind of reasons?”

“I just don’t want people to read me like a book…” (Y/N) was lying. Partially. 

“Oh… I mean, not everyone knows what your eye colors mean.”

“Most people do. And if they don’t they ask.” 

Warren winced. She knew he asked about the pink eyes. She was going to think of him as some nosy, pitiful, boy with daddy issues.  “People are gonna think you’re hungover.”

“Three already asked.” 

Warren smiled to himself, he found it almost funny. “Why’re you trying to hide your emotions?”

“I like someone.” 

The three words froze in his mind. 

(Y/N) liked someone. Someone who was normal, probably. Someone the student body approved up. Somebody who hasn’t killed people and looks like a nightmare. 

“Oh.” 

He couldn’t see the concern in her eyes when his face obviously fell. 

“Yeah. I’ll um, I’ll see you later.”

Warren nodded awkwardly, “Yeah. See you later…”

-

The mall trip was awkward. (Y/N) had her glasses on still and half of her friends didn’t know why, and Warren was sulking because of (y/N)’s mystery lover.

“So, (Y/N)...” Peter drawled out. “What’s with the sunglasses? You trying to copy Scott?” 

She laughed a little at his joke. “Not really…” Peter raised his eyebrows, silently pressing for details. “I just don’t want people to see my eyes. That’s all.”

“Why? Is it because they’re… pink?”

Damnit, Peter! Warren cursed to himself. You had to bring it up. Rub it in my face that the Princess found her Prince Charming. 

“I don’t want to talk about it.” (Y/N) glanced at Warren for a moment as he listened to Jubilee ramble on about some girl she met at a thrift store. 

“Why?... Because you’re in looove?” 

(Y/N) swatted his arm. “I am not!” 

“Oh, but I know that's not true.” Peter pouted and bat his eyes. 

“Fuck off.” 

“Woah! Didn’t know Snow White knew such naughty words.” 

Warren grimaced,  Peter was pushing her buttons and Warren wanted to strangle him, but he wasn’t that guy anymore. 

Borderline mullet, feathery white wings, and an adrenaline rush with the ability to punch everyone within five feet in front of him. 

Now he was a gang looking member, with trauma, and recovering from bad habits. Don’t mention that he was in love with Mother Nature.

Warren was so lost in his own words that he didn’t even notice Peter and (Y/N) bickering. 

“Stop it—“ 

The glasses fell. And then the unexpected happened. 

Jubilee stepped on the sunglasses. They cracked under her heel. 

“Oh shit! Aw, man!” Jubilee didn’t even care, they were her glasses. She got them at five below for three dollars two years ago. Jubilee picked up the broken shades and looked them over. 

“Oh well. They were cheap anyway.” Jubilee tossed the remains in the trash and didn’t even give it a second thought. 

Warren looked at (Y/N) and they made eye contact. Her eyes flashed purple, maroon, and they settled on pink. Full-on rose gold, soft-blushing pink. 

There were flowers in her hair and they retracted into buds— a defense mechanism— she was scared, but wouldn’t break away from him. 

Everyone looked at them like one looks at a car wreck or a burning building. 

Warren glared at them. “Alright, um, let’s go to Barnes and Noble…” Jubilee dragged everyone away, leaving Warre and (Y/N) behind. 

“Were you hiding your feelings from me?” 

She nodded, “I didn’t want you to know, though.”

It finally all clicked in Warren’s mind. She wanted to hide her emotions from him because she was into him, and everything he said about them “not being compatible, people don’t ship us, the kiss was only platonic”. “I get it.” 

“I want you, but I…” 

“I made up bullshit to push you away because I was scared… You’re way out of my league and I don’t want to hurt you.”

“I don’t care…” She stepped closer to him. “I’d kiss you right now, but we’re in public…” Warren quickly cupped (Y/N)’s face and left a peck on her lips. 

Even a quick kiss from Warren was better than anything from a boy at a crappy house party.

“Do you want to go to find our friends?”

“Yeah, yeah. We probably should.” 

-

Warren wasn’t sure at what point her hand slipped into his and held on, but he didn’t move away either. 

Something in one of the shop windows caught his eye though. 

It was a book. Titled, Olympus Gods or something. It made a light go off in Warren’s mind, but he couldn’t figure it out. 

What, why does— Then he saw a Harry Potter toy. The three-headed dog, Fluffy or something. 

Who else had a three-headed dog? 

“Hades…” 

“Hmm?” She looked at Warren with confusion. 

“Hades and Persephone— plant goddess and goth guy.” 

She got the hint right away, and nudged his arm with her elbow, “Dork.” 

Warren blushed, “Yeah, yeah… just shut up,” He joked.

[nyanberri]

Showed off Bud and now it's Glitter Squad's turn! Lots if info under the cut.

Amélie is physically 13, 4'8, and originally from France.

Louie is physically 25, 5'11, and originally from Haiti.

Amé became Hugh's subclass long ago when he was still in Europe and came to Japan to find him.

Louie had moved to Japan when he was still human and his death led to Hugh turning him into a subclass.

On Amé journey to find Hugh, she met Louie, who didn't know where Hugh went, but decided to join her after hearing stories from her about how amazing he was.

They eventually ended up caught by C3, but during the C3 arc they heard the Servamps had gathered in Tokyo and they tried to escape, but failed due to the ongoing chaotic events.

They were later freed and taken to the hospital with everyone else. Once Tsubaki attacked, they used the chance to run off to continue their search for Hugh.

During the attack, they also ran into a subclass of Envy's, Bud, and the pair joined up with him to follow the trail of recent strange events happening in Tokyo in order to find their Servamps.

The two call themselves Glitter Squad since they both wear glittery clothes. Unfortunately they can't be a squad with only two people, so they've been recruiting other Pride subclass, but everyone finds them weird and refuse to join. They eventually settled for letting Bud in the squad, but he refuses to wear any glitter.

Amé is the one more in charge between the two if them. She comes up with all the ideas for their search and figuring out how to recruit more squad members. Unfortunately, she's very reckless and has some crazy ideas that do nothing but cause trouble. She yells and throws things a lot, but she's never aggressive about it.

Louie is very cheerful and excited about everything, but interestingly enough, he's considered the calm one compared to Amé. He's nice to everyone and just goes with whatever new idea Amé thrusts him into.

They both greatly love and adore cute things and get super obsessed with any new cute thing they come across.

Amé uses a magic wand to channel her magic that contains a ball of glitter holding a crystal inside. She doesn't really need it, but she likes the dramatic flair that comes with using it. She can pull the wand out from the space between her cape and back. No one knows how she does it(Belkia and his hat would like to have a word with her though).

Louie has a stuffed bear he's kept with him ever since childhood. Using magic he can make it grow bigger than a person and fight for him or perform tasks that need the strength or extra help. The poor thing has been through a lot.

Amé has heard quite a bit about Tsubaki through the vampire grape vine, but there's still a lot she doesn't know. Louie is even less in the loop, but Amé has kept him up to date on the info she knows. They have no idea Hugh is potentially working with Tsubaki.

Since Hugh has so many subclass, hasn't seen Amé in so long, and only interacted with Louie once, he genuinely doesn't recall their names.

They both look up(down?) to Hugh for being such a strong person and giving them a second chance at life, which is why they want to find him. They respect him and his aesthetic so much that they refer to him as 'Your Dark Lordship'. Amé even modeled her outfit after his(and partially on magical girls, which she discovered after coming to Japan). Louie prefers to stick to his own aesthetic though.

Amé and Louie have grown so close that they're almost like siblings at this point. They both look out for each other and both of them take over the big sibling role when needed.

Louie is a talented dancer while Amé is a master at playing the harp.

They both roughhouse often and can end up getting other people caught inbetween their antics on accident.

Amé has a plan for vampires to take over the world in a fight for world domination, which she wants to propose to Hugh once they reunite with him(which is rather ironic all things considered) and Louie thinks she just says those things because she's a chuunibyou. And she kinda is, but she's still a real vampire and very serious about it.

They both have dramatic attack names prepared for battle and wish to get into a serious fight so they can show them off.

With Bud now around, he's the only level headed one that actually questions the duo's eccentricities and takes the brunt of the consequences of their antics.

Fun fact: Amé was first designed to be one of Lily's subclass that left the Alicein manor and basically 'went rogue' before becoming one of Hugh's subclass instead.

Sermon, Easter 5 2021, I am the vine

John 15:1-8

”I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower. 2He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit. 3You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you. 4Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. 5I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. 6Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.

In this morning’s Gospel reading, Jesus is preparing the disciples for the time when he will no longer be physically with them. He has already said to them, and to us,: “... I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you should also love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples ...” in saying this, Jesus tells us that it is of vital importance that not only must we know that we are his disciples but also must those who are watching us who claim to be his disciples know that we are his disciples, and he gives us the most important criteria: self-emptying love.

Self-emptying love. That doesn’t sound that difficult, right? I mean, I go to church once a month, maybe twice, and I give some money here and there. Hey, I put a dollar in that homeless guy’s cup last week. Oh, and I saw someone from my parish post something on Facebook that was so obviously politically incorrect and I sure gave them a piece of my mind about it and set them straight. I think I’m doing really good with this loving people thing…

How little we seem to hear Jesus, and how much we seem to hear our own inner dialogue when it comes to being part of him, being the fruit on the vine which is his body.

My family formerly owned a vineyard and winery. Much of this Gospel reading rings true for me. I once took some young people from my parish to our vineyard and had our vineyard manager explain how we kept the vines healthy and producing plentiful grapes. And then we read this Gospel passage. You could see the light come on in their eyes, especially around the practice of pruning. Pruning grape vines looks ruthless. Grape vines grow rapidly, and left alone will create an impenetrable snarl of branches and leaves, few of which will bear grapes because all of the energy they soak up from the sun, and all the nutrients they absorb from the soil, goes into wild growth, leaving little for the production of fruit.

We are much the same when we are left following our own desires, our own ideas about what we should be doing and who we should be. We take all of the energy and nutrients that God gives us, especially in the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, and we set out to “make the world right” with our own agendas and beliefs as our guide. Rather than producing a bountiful harvest of usable grapes, we seem mostly to get tangled up with each other over differences of politics, differences of belief about the sanctity of human life and when human life begins, and confusion about whether or not we are willing to accept the most basic dogmatic beliefs of Christianity, and any number of other common disagreements of our age of the world and culture.I do not want to give short shrift to these weighty topics, but they are not the focus of this Gospel reading.

This is where God steps in with his pruning shears. If we are faithful, and willing to accept the pruning that God wants to bring into our lives, the experience can be jarring. Pruning, after all, means cutting away all that is useless for the purposes of producing wine grapes. If you’ve ever seen it actually done, you’ll know that means about 95% of the vine growth gets cut off and cast aside to be collected and burned. It is an eye opening experience at just how much of the vine gets cut away. It looks ruthless and leaves you wondering if the root stock or the main vine can even survive. But then, weeks later, it is an amazing thing to see how much fruit can be grown with that 5% of the vine!

I am no one’s judge, least of all of myself. But the Scriptures give us many clear sets of criteria about what it means to abide in Jesus, and what has nothing to do with being part of his Body, the Church. It has little to do with being a nice person, or occasionally showing up for worship, or giving spare change to the Church or to needy strangers. It has even less to do with our partisan politics. It has everything to do with giving up control of our lives to God and living in such a manner that the world looks at our lives in astonishment at the love we share with each other and with all people in the name of Jesus.

Self-emptying love is on full display in the Gospels. We really should have no confusion about what it means, and we should have little confusion about what it does not mean. It comes down to whether or not we accept what Jesus says it means and what he shows us it means. It has to do with whether or not we are going to choose to follow him, take up our cross, and live as he lived. I know the objections…that’s not possible in these modern times, that was only meant for the original disciples, my life and career just first make room for that kind of radical living, surely the clergy fulfill that role for all of us…

None of these are true, dear friends. In every age, in every nation, and this morning around the world, Christians are struggling to hear the plain spoken Gospel reading and imagining how to fashion our lives to fit. If we decide to shape our lives after the Gospel, the Holy Spirit is waiting to empower us, and God is ready with his pruning shears to clear out all the clutter so that we may indeed become fruitful as part of the Body of Jesus, his Church.

The world is watching, looking for signs of hope, signs of life, signs of a way of being that is different from the confusion, strife, and hatred that we see all around us. God is ready to help us. Are we ready to invite him to bring on the pruning of our lives?

Almighty God, whom truly to know is everlasting life: Grant us so perfectly to know your Son Jesus Christ to be the way, the truth, and the life, that we may steadfastly follow his steps in the way that leads to eternal life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

BIOGRAPHY

Efren had been working non-stop on a case when he met PERSEPHONE. She had strode into the library smile on her face, flower in hand, leather jacket over her shoulders and colorful hair bouncing with each step He was entranced by her and the two spent the next two weeks entangled in one another. He knew something was different about her, something in-human but he never truly questioned it. Persephone, going by the name of Lily, flitted in and out of Efren’s life for the next 9 months where he happily doted on her and her growing belly. That was when THOMAS was born. He was a happy bouncing baby. Despite Efren’s busy life he doted on his new son and spent any time he wasn’t working with the quickly growing toddler. Persephone vanished not to long after; but Efren understood and soon found a woman who loved him and his son.

They were married a year later. The first year of their marriage was amazing -- until they got the news that Lyka was infertile. Heartbroken and distraught the two were left unsure of what to do… when in walked Lily once again. After discussion and the reveal of who she was, she granted them with one more child, this time a daughter, ZELLA. Zella was just as happy as her older brother when she was born and Lyka and Kenug couldn’t be happier with their family.

Zella would say her childhood was pretty good, she had a loving older brother who doted on her, parents who, though were very busy, still loved and cared for them and a grandmother who spent every day with them. The family had a cabin not far from the outskirts of Athens, where they lived, in the woods. They would travel two to three times a year to stay in the cabin for a week to three at a time. This -- was Zella’s favorite time. She was away from school, from normal life and up in the woods and nature. It was here in the cabin that Tao and Zella DISCOVERED THEIR ABILITIES. Wondering around the edges of the cabin Zella was admiring a flower and Tao was play fighting an imaginary villain with a stick when the flower Zella was touching promptly died. She hadn’t realized it in that moment, but she was annoyed with her brother for ignoring her and not letting her join in… and her anger had transferred through her and into the flower killing it. She was only 7 at the time and started bawling her eyes out. Tao rushed over to check on her and saw the dead flower, knowing it had made his sister so upset he reached out to touch it -- and it sprung back to life. The two were in shock completely flabbergasted. They then searched for another dead flower and again, brought it back to life. The joy they both experienced had caused the small clearing they were in to burst to life with a field of grape hyacinths.

This field, deep in the woods near their cabin became Zella and Tao’s sanctuary. Over the years they cultivated it to their liking, it was their place to practice their powers over the plants and to create an area of calm tranquility. She grew thousands of flowers, made a swing out of vines; tao created large trees that encompassed the field, the tree in which they put the swing and he created a pond for them to relax by. IT WAS THEIRS AND FOR YEARS THEY TOLD NO ONE. Tao was 13, Zella 11, when they finally brought their mom, dad, and grandma to the spot, and upon seeing its beauty their father broke down and told them the truth of who they were birthed from. The shock of discovering who their mother affected them quite differently. Tao was overjoyed to realize their mother was Persephone; Zella was angry. Angry she never came around since they were born, she loved her parents of course, but Persephone? she wanted to meet her, she wanted to know who she came from and the fact she was 11 and had no idea? Well. That was just UNACCEPTABLE.

That night she went back out to the field and screamed to the sky demanding Persephone come to see her, demanding answers. And so Persephone did, she looked exactly like she had when she had met her father. That pastel punk goddess who had a sly smile on her face. The two talked for hours; she learned all she could about Persephone and why she did what she did. By the end, Persephone had told her that there was a darker side of her power, she wasn’t sure how exactly it would manifest but that to not be surprised it death had something to do with it. When Persephone left she grew a SINGLE POMEGRANATE TREE in the dead center of their sanctuary as a reminder. The next day it was completely filled.

It was on that same trip that she met DYLAN. A huntress of Artemis but a daughter of Eros. The girl was up in her mother’s tree. Zella was not happy about this and demanded the girl to get down and leave the poor tree alone, she had been eating the pomegranates, and in young Zella’s mind that was not right. It took all of a few moments of talking for the two to become fast friends. From then on any time Zella came up to the cabin the two met in the garden and spent any free time they had together. She was 15 when their friendship turned to something more -- a heated conversation turned to Dylan KISSING Zella out of nowhere and that was it. The two were suddenly inseparable and together.

They kept in contact through letters, a secret phone and visits. They were dating long distance and seeing each other a guaranteed three times a year… but occasionally Zella would take the moped and drive the hour and a half trek into the forest to the glenn to see Dylan. Things were amazing for the two for a good two and a half years until one day Zella’s dad found out. They had tried to hard, Tao (who was now going by Thomas with his friends) had even covered for her so much, but he found out about her relationship. He was FURIOUS over so much, one that she was dating a woman, two that it was a daughter of Artemis and three, that it had been kept from him for years. One fight turned into two, into ten… and each time it ended with the same idea “THE OATH THEY SWEAR IS ONE THEY WILL NEVER BREAK FOR ANYONE. SHE WILL NOT CHOOSE YOU OVER ARTEMIS, THAT’S HER FAMILY. SHE WAS RAISED THERE. YOU WOULD NEVER ABANDON US AND SHE WILL NEVER ABANDON THEM. SHE’S ONLY GOING TO BREAK YOUR HEART.”

Of course -- Zella fought that and fought it hard … that was until she noticed Dylan pulling away, missing their meetups, and the distance that seemed to grow between them. What should have been a monthly hang out turned into every two months and for shorter windows of time. Before long they had gone almost four months without seeing one another and barely talking… Zella took it as a sign they were over and she forced herself to MOVE ON. It happened quickly she had been friends with Danby for years and after spending more time together he asked her out. Graduation was fast approaching and college was looming on the horizon so Dylan went back to see Zella and tell her about her plan for college, Danby came up and that was that. They were over for good.

TW: DEATHS, SUICIDE + CAR ACCIDENT

Zella and Danby moved to London, they got themselves a little apartment a cat and started college together. Zella into biology and Danby into criminal law. They spent time seeing plays, eating at new places, drinking with friends and traveling between their semesters.  They took trips with friends and on one such trip they had gone to Rome, late one night they were all walking home from the bars when their friend Ricardo stepped into traffic not paying attention and was killed instantly by a truck speeding down the road. Shock set in almost immediately but Danby moved into action rushing to their friend’s side -- Zella followed a moment later. Danby was sobbing at his friends death, Zella knelt down to be next to her boyfriend and her fallen friend, but when she laid a hand on the man -- her mother’s dark powers, the ones she mentioned so so long ago, that she had only used once on a little mouse when she was 16, sprung back to life and Ricardo took a GASPING breath. Shock, fear and confusion. Ricardo knew he was dead and even said so, he passed along a message to give to his parents, to his girlfriend who was back in the hotel feeling a bit sick, and to them… Then when Zella reached out to tell him she would miss him and always love her friend, she touched him finished her sentence and he passed on.  It was in that moment that Zella knew what she wanted to do with her life.

Now 25, the two ended up engaged and preparing for their wedding, but first … they wanted to move back to Greece and this time ended up on Icaria where her brother (Thomas as he liked to be called now) and his girlfriend (Allegra) lived. They were as happy as could be, Zella had become a MORTICIAN, Danby was one of the top criminal lawyers on icaria but their lives were slowly drifting apart and in doing so she missed the signs. She missed what she can now look back on and say was obvious. Danby was struggling, he was exhausted, stuck and unsure of everything, he depressed and showing every sign he could that he needed to get serious help -- and yet Zella didn’t see it and she came home one day to see him dead on the floor.

She broke down. She cradled the man sobbing over his body and in doing so she used the darkness of her powers. He took a deep GASPING breath and smiled up at her he told her he loved her, but as she reached out to touch his face he slipped back into death’s embrace and was gone for good. She couldn’t get him back. She called the cops to report his suicide. They got her into therapy a week later and she’s been going ever since.

Therapy kept Zella sane and put together but once Danby was gone she threw herself into her work. She figured if she couldn’t get that peace, beyond the I love you, she would make damn sure she could give that peace to everyone else who came into her funeral home. Zella started spending more time with her brother and his girlfriend. Slowly she started to heal and feel better despite the loss. She was 27 now and with the urging of her brother she started to date once again. She started to see the world in a better light. even when she needed to have her appendix removed. Three days in the hospital was nothing. She was happy to have a couple of days off, even if it did mean surgery. She called her brother and asked if him and Allegra could come keep her company at the hospital while she recovered, they happily agreed… but they didn’t show up the way she had hoped.

It was the middle of the night when the nurse came in and told her what had happened; an accident. Allegra was alive, she was banged up and hurt but she’d be okay, that Zella could go see her in the morning…. But her brother, Thomas, had not been lucky. He was gone. She had thought the loss of Danby had wrecked her but losing her brother? The one solid link she had, that one truly unbreakable bond. Her brother who she was as close to as one could get without sharing a brain was gone. She saw Allegra the next day and the two didn’t speak but instead sat silently holding one another.

TW END

Zella and Allegra soon went back to Athens to join her mom and dad where they buried Thomas’ body in a small family plot. It was on this trip that Zella felt compelled to go back to the cabin, to their SANCTUARY. She spent three days there before she saw a huntress. She stopped her and when she asked where Dylan was she was told “DYLAN GOT KICKED OUT OF THE HUNTRESSES A LONG TIME AGO. FELL IN LOVE WITH SOME GIRL -- SUZI OR SOMETHING? WHATEVER HER NAME WAS. I THINK THEY RAN OFF TOGETHER. EITHER WAY ARTEMIS DOESN’T WANT PEOPLE NOT LOYAL TO THEIR OATH. GOOD RIDDANCE IF YOU ASK ME.” and vanished before Zella could ask anything else. Standing in her garden the last part of Zella broke. The loss of Ricardo, Danby, of her brother Thomas and now the realization that Dylan was kicked out of the Huntress and that Dylan was prepared to leave Artemis for her was that straw that broke her back. She sunk to the floor and destroyed EVERYTHING. The garden died that day all that was left standing was the pomegranate tree her mother had made and the tree with the vine swing her and Thomas had made together.

By the time she left the garden a couple of hours later Zella’s memory had been altered. DISSOCIATIVE AMNESIA or her brain decided that the trauma that she had endured over the past couple years was to much forced her to forget the details of some of the situations of the specific time and moments that caused her the most pain and anguish. This means she doesn’t remember how Ricardo died, she doesn’t really remember what it was that killed Danby, she just knows she was with him in his last breaths,  she doesn’t remember that her phone call is what prompted Thomas and Allegra to get in that car, and Dylan…. Dylan she doesn’t remember loving because that itself is too traumatic. Not that she knows that’s what it is. Zella is a shell of who she once was, shes back on Icaria doing her job as a mortician and going through the motions. Maybe one day she’ll remember it all. Maybe she wont. In her mind though…. She’s okay.

[mysticsandwich]

what was it, around may of 2014, I sold my truck and all of my camera equipment, probably for way less than what it was worth. I bought a bunch of random hiking and backpacking/camping gear and a bus ticket from orlando all the way across the country to spokane washington. I had decided to volunteer on a vineyard/family farm thru wwoof, worldwild organic orginzation of farmers. you basically work like 4-8hrs a day and in exchange you get some form of housing and food. I’d be staying in a tent and get 3 meals a day. I really didnt know what to expect except I was ready for some kind of adventure and was miserable where I was. I had no idea what I was doing and about $3k in my bank account. I was an emotional mess, duh. I rode the bus for 94 hours, it was insane. I barley slept, the bus stopped about every 1-2 hrs for bathroom breaks and stretch/snack stops. I remember leaving atlanta around 12am, the random girl next to me kept falling asleep on my shoulder and waking me up. I didn’t get off of the bus until Chicago. I had an 8hr layover to the next bus. I bought a pack of menthol american spirits and walked around downtown chicago for like 6-7 hours. it was great, besides the exhaustion. it was the first time I had really walked around the heart of a real big city in my adult life. I got on the next bus and endured another 45hrs or so of bus riding to spokane washington. god I was beat. I got picked up by leah, the woman who kind of ran the whole wwoofing operation her husband and her ran. She picked me up from the greyhound station in spokane around noon, her firstborn son, henry was in the back of her truck asleep, I think he was two years old or so. She is very chatty and friendly. she hugged me upon meeting me and was very welcoming. after almost 4 straight days on buses with strangers it was very nice. she chatted as we drove out of spokane northwest to the small town of hunters,wa. after an hr and a half we arrived at a small gas station, the first store in about 30 miles. her dad owned the store/small mechanics garage all the locals got their trucks and equipment fixed at. I met her mom who ran the shop part of the store and dad who ran the store and mechanics garage. then we headed to the farm. we arrived and i met john, leahs husband. john and leah were 30 and 29 at the time, respectively. they had a house on an absolutely gorgeous 45 acre piece of land overlooking the Columbia river, a huge river that flows from canada all the way to Oregon. the property was amazing, small mountains or hills overlooking a sharp 200-300 foot drop to the wide river. they showed me my tent spot, right on a cliff below their house overlooking their house. it was amazing and gorgeous. i set up my tent and unpacked my backpack. i had to be back at the house around 7pm for dinner. i arrived and john was cooking while leah cleaned up. henry was just running around the garden that was their backyard. their entire house they built themselves. it looked like a house, kind of slumped and lopsided but normal enough. but they built it from bales of hay, wrapped in chicken wire, with spackle on the wire to look like normal walls. hardly any wood, mostly built of hay. it was very cheap to build, john did all of the wiring and plumbing hisself and hay has absolutely amazing insulating capabilities, so it was never too hot in the summer and never too cold in the winter. amazing. the first night there dinner was salad hand picked from their garden, we all just chatted and got to know eachother. I slept in my tent like a baby, the first nights sleep in like 4 days not on a bus in a seat constantly being woken up, with the sound of the nature and river below. the next day was the first day of work and learning the farm. most of the work I did there wsa trimming grape vines with john. leah would go to the gas station/country store her parents own and work, so in the morning i’d scramble up the hill to the house and john would make breakfast for me him and henry then we’d head out the vineyard. most of the work we did while I was there was trim vines. you have to snip off the weakest vines and keep the strongest ones to get the most grapes. so everyday me john and henry would go out to the vineyard, it was 10 acres big, not very big but big for two guys and a baby. me and john would each get a row of vines, we’d go down a trim and leapfrog each other, trimming all the extra vines off. henry would sleep in a stroller or waddles around john, sometimes coming to me to hangout. me and john would usually work at the same pace once I go the process down, and we’d talk the whole day till about lunch or 1pm. then go back to the house, he’d make lunch and then we’d get a break for about 2hrs. I’d usually go down to the river or take a nap in my hammock. then we’d meet around 3pm and work on another farm project, maybe fixinga a drain or a fence, etc. then leah would come home and we’d all make dinner. these people were so kind and just took me in and included me in their lives and family and farm, gave me good advice, etc. they told me of their adventures from their earyl 20′s. they both went to new zealand and traveled and worked for about 2 years. leah was a white water raft guide and john worked on bikes. they did that and hiked thru new Zealand. they went bak to america and saved money, then hitchhiked down the entirety of south america for a year. then decided to return to leahs parents hometown and start eh vineyard. amazing people, very warm and kind and hardworking. i was so lost at this point in my life and they gave m a good goal of how I wanted to be or at least were very positive role models. so went about 2 months, working with john mostly, hanging with leahs family, meeting their friends, working hard, learning about growing wine grapes, learning alfalfa farming, hitchiking to town, reading a lot. then late june hit, and john and leah got 3 more WWOOFers. 3 girls from rhode island, culinary students on a summer road trip, wwoofing to see where organic food comes from. two were very pretty and all 3 were very nice. they set up thier tent and I became their tour guide, showing them how all the work was done, how the farm and house worked. they liked to drink and party, were all older than me. we had a good time, though my work ethic kind of went ot shit, distracted by a bunch of girls haha. it was nice to be the only guy around them. they were there for about 3 weeks and then were heading to another farm in northern california. they invited me to go with them. I loved the farm in spokane..but 3 college girls when you’re 19...duh. so they left and I said my sad goodbyes to john and leah and hit the road with 3 college girls. we stopped all over down the west coast of the country. we all went skinny dipping in a pool in portland, one tried to sleep with me and I was too stupid to realize it. huge regret. story for another time. we finally reached pescadaro, CA. an absolutely beautiful little coastal town. the farm was owned by an absolute lunatic who thought he could talk to aliens and grew a a LOT of illegal weed. all we did for about a week was smoke weed and hangout with crazy vagrants the farm owner brought in, the absolute opposite of john and leahs farm. I liked the 3 girls but I missed john and leah a lot then. I was supposed to go visit my bestfrind, Gabe, in texas at some point that summer and after a week at this sketchy “farm” I decided to leave. the girls, katie, becca and kristen were awesome and i was pretty much in love with katie, but it was time to go. so they drove me to san fransisco and I got on a greyhound bus around midnight around the end of july and headed for texas. before I left the farm in pescadaro the head “farmhand” there gave me about 2 ounced of weed as a parting gift. being 19 and dumb I took it. I put the damn thing in my backpack and got on the greyhound. I slept from san fran to LA and from La to around new mexico. more bus riding, yay. I got to el paso, tx.

Tao rushed over to check on her and saw the dead flower, knowing it had made his sister so upset he reached out to touch it -- and it sprung back to life. The two were in shock completely flabbergasted. They then searched for another dead flower and again, brought it back to life. The joy they both experienced had caused the small clearing they were in to burst to life with a field of grape hyacinths.

This field, deep in the woods near their cabin became Zella and Tao’s sanctuary. Over the years they cultivated it to their liking, it was their place to practice their powers over the plants and to create an area of calm tranquility. She grew thousands of flowers, made a swing out of vines; tao created large trees that encompassed the field, the tree in which they put the swing and he created a pond for them to relax by. IT WAS THEIRS AND FOR YEARS THEY TOLD NO ONE. Tao was 13, Zella 11, when they finally brought their mom, dad, and grandma to the spot, and upon seeing its beauty their father broke down and told them the truth of who they were birthed from. The shock of discovering who their mother affected them quite differently. Tao was overjoyed to realize their mother was Persephone; Zella was angry. Angry she never came around since they were born, she loved her parents of course, but Persephone? she wanted to meet her, she wanted to know who she came from and the fact she was 11 and had no idea? Well. That was just UNACCEPTABLE.

That night she went back out to the field and screamed to the sky demanding Persephone come to see her, demanding answers. And so Persephone did, she looked exactly like she had when she had met her father. That pastel punk goddess who had a sly smile on her face. The two talked for hours; she learned all she could about Persephone and why she did what she did. By the end, Persephone had told her that there was a darker side of her power, she wasn’t sure how exactly it would manifest but that to not be surprised it death had something to do with it. When Persephone left she grew a SINGLE POMEGRANATE TREE in the dead center of their sanctuary as a reminder. The next day it was completely filled.

It was on that same trip that she met DYLAN. A huntress of Artemis but a daughter of Eros. The girl was up in her mother’s tree. Zella was not happy about this and demanded the girl to get down and leave the poor tree alone, she had been eating the pomegranates, and in young Zella’s mind that was not right. It took all of a few moments of talking for the two to become fast friends. From then on any time Zella came up to the cabin the two met in the garden and spent any free time they had together. She was 15 when their friendship turned to something more -- a heated conversation turned to Dylan KISSING Zella out of nowhere and that was it. The two were suddenly inseparable and together.

They kept in contact through letters, a secret phone and visits. They were dating long distance and seeing each other a guaranteed three times a year… but occasionally Zella would take the moped and drive the hour and a half trek into the forest to the glenn to see Dylan. Things were amazing for the two for a good two and a half years until one day Zella’s dad found out. They had tried to hard, Tao (who was now going by Thomas with his friends) had even covered for her so much, but he found out about her relationship. He was FURIOUS over so much, one that she was dating a woman, two that it was a daughter of Artemis and three, that it had been kept from him for years. One fight turned into two, into ten… and each time it ended with the same idea “THE OATH THEY SWEAR IS ONE THEY WILL NEVER BREAK FOR ANYONE. SHE WILL NOT CHOOSE YOU OVER ARTEMIS, THAT’S HER FAMILY. SHE WAS RAISED THERE. YOU WOULD NEVER ABANDON US AND SHE WILL NEVER ABANDON THEM. SHE’S ONLY GOING TO BREAK YOUR HEART.”

Of course -- Zella fought that and fought it hard … that was until she noticed Dylan pulling away, missing their meetups, and the distance that seemed to grow between them. What should have been a monthly hang out turned into every two months and for shorter windows of time. Before long they had gone almost four months without seeing one another and barely talking… Zella took it as a sign they were over and she forced herself to MOVE ON. It happened quickly she had been friends with Danby for years and after spending more time together he asked her out. Graduation was fast approaching and college was looming on the horizon so Dylan went back to see Zella and tell her about her plan for college, Danby came up and that was that. They were over for good.

TW: DEATHS, SUICIDE + CAR ACCIDENT

Zella and Danby moved to London, they got themselves a little apartment a cat and started college together. Zella into biology and Danby into criminal law. They spent time seeing plays, eating at new places, drinking with friends and traveling between their semesters.  They took trips with friends and on one such trip they had gone to Rome, late one night they were all walking home from the bars when their friend Ricardo stepped into traffic not paying attention and was killed instantly by a truck speeding down the road. Shock set in almost immediately but Danby moved into action rushing to their friend’s side -- Zella followed a moment later. Danby was sobbing at his friends death, Zella knelt down to be next to her boyfriend and her fallen friend, but when she laid a hand on the man -- her mother’s dark powers, the ones she mentioned so so long ago, that she had only used once on a little mouse when she was 16, sprung back to life and Ricardo took a GASPING breath. Shock, fear and confusion. Ricardo knew he was dead and even said so, he passed along a message to give to his parents, to his girlfriend who was back in the hotel feeling a bit sick, and to them… Then when Zella reached out to tell him she would miss him and always love her friend, she touched him finished her sentence and he passed on.  It was in that moment that Zella knew what she wanted to do with her life.

Now 25, the two ended up engaged and preparing for their wedding, but first … they wanted to move back to Greece and this time ended up on Icaria where her brother (Thomas as he liked to be called now) and his girlfriend (Allegra) lived. They were as happy as could be, Zella had become a MORTICIAN, Danby was one of the top criminal lawyers on icaria but their lives were slowly drifting apart and in doing so she missed the signs. She missed what she can now look back on and say was obvious. Danby was struggling, he was exhausted, stuck and unsure of everything, he depressed and showing every sign he could that he needed to get serious help -- and yet Zella didn’t see it and she came home one day to see him dead on the floor.

She broke down. She cradled the man sobbing over his body and in doing so she used the darkness of her powers. He took a deep GASPING breath and smiled up at her he told her he loved her, but as she reached out to touch his face he slipped back into death’s embrace and was gone for good. She couldn’t get him back. She called the cops to report his suicide. They got her into therapy a week later and she’s been going ever since.

Therapy kept Zella sane and put together but once Danby was gone she threw herself into her work. She figured if she couldn’t get that peace, beyond the I love you, she would make damn sure she could give that peace to everyone else who came into her funeral home. Zella started spending more time with her brother and his girlfriend. Slowly she started to heal and feel better despite the loss. She was 27 now and with the urging of her brother she started to date once again. She started to see the world in a better light. even when she needed to have her appendix removed. Three days in the hospital was nothing. She was happy to have a couple of days off, even if it did mean surgery. She called her brother and asked if him and Allegra could come keep her company at the hospital while she recovered, they happily agreed… but they didn’t show up the way she had hoped.

It was the middle of the night when the nurse came in and told her what had happened; an accident. Allegra was alive, she was banged up and hurt but she’d be okay, that Zella could go see her in the morning…. But her brother, Thomas, had not been lucky. He was gone. She had thought the loss of Danby had wrecked her but losing her brother? The one solid link she had, that one truly unbreakable bond. Her brother who she was as close to as one could get without sharing a brain was gone. She saw Allegra the next day and the two didn’t speak but instead sat silently holding one another.

TW END

Zella and Allegra soon went back to Athens to join her mom and dad where they buried Thomas’ body in a small family plot. It was on this trip that Zella felt compelled to go back to the cabin, to their SANCTUARY. She spent three days there before she saw a huntress. She stopped her and when she asked where Dylan was she was told “DYLAN GOT KICKED OUT OF THE HUNTRESSES A LONG TIME AGO. FELL IN LOVE WITH SOME GIRL -- SUZI OR SOMETHING? WHATEVER HER NAME WAS. I THINK THEY RAN OFF TOGETHER. EITHER WAY ARTEMIS DOESN’T WANT PEOPLE NOT LOYAL TO THEIR OATH. GOOD RIDDANCE IF YOU ASK ME.” and vanished before Zella could ask anything else. Standing in her garden the last part of Zella broke. The loss of Ricardo, Danby, of her brother Thomas and now the realization that Dylan was kicked out of the Huntress and that Dylan was prepared to leave Artemis for her was that straw that broke her back. She sunk to the floor and destroyed EVERYTHING. The garden died that day all that was left standing was the pomegranate tree her mother had made and the tree with the vine swing her and Thomas had made together.

By the time she left the garden a couple of hours later Zella’s memory had been altered. DISSOCIATIVE AMNESIA or her brain decided that the trauma that she had endured over the past couple years was to much forced her to forget the details of some of the situations of the specific time and moments that caused her the most pain and anguish. This means she doesn’t remember how Ricardo died, she doesn’t really remember what it was that killed Danby, she just knows she was with him in his last breaths,  she doesn’t remember that her phone call is what prompted Thomas and Allegra to get in that car, and Dylan…. Dylan she doesn’t remember loving because that itself is too traumatic. Not that she knows that’s what it is. Zella is a shell of who she once was, shes back on Icaria doing her job as a mortician and going through the motions. Maybe one day she’ll remember it all. Maybe she wont. In her mind though…. She’s okay.

Green Tale.

A small tale I imagined the other day

It started like a dream, a multi-colored nightmare. She hoped for it to be an unwanted vision until the creature touched her. The gentle touch brought to her the terrifying sense of how surreal yet real everything was. She could clearly see the creature woven of green vines and leaves as big as her palm. It stroked her cheek with something that resembled a finger and she could feel the rough side of a leaf pushing against her soft skin. For a moment she couldn't move, then she let a muffled shriek and ran away breaking through mossy roots blocking her way, branches scratching her face and endless evergreen maze closing on her from every side.

Finally, powerless she collapsed onto the soft ground and took a deep breath. Her hair had been messed up, face was covered in scratches and her skirt was covered in dirty green stains. She sobbed. She hugged herself. She passed out. When she woke up, her mind was twisted, it felt like strings tied into a tight knot, which pulsed with piercing pain.

She had no clear idea where she was. She knew who she was but her mind simply could not grasp and understand the place she was in. Her throat suddenly became strained, she started gasping for air. If she opened her eyes it seemed to her as an infinite web of straight and curved lines bright and colorful, she saw shapes and forms, moving and sliding objects and defining noise. She closed her eyes and ears. She was afraid that she could not withstand this madness, it splattered her brain and mind. She wished it would all end. She curled up, groaning in pain. She opened her eyes, still holding her ears closed with her hands. Twisting and turning, clashing and uniting, disappearing and appearing again - many lines and colors. She tried to focus and freeze the shifting shapes. Her eyes hurt and muscles were tense. Then the colors stated taking form, as if they were filling molds where they should have been. She saw a tall brown shape and a green blanket laying atop it. A tree. Other trees emerged, their trunk rising high and crones blocking the sky. She was amazed. The trees were ancient, moss creeping up on them and vines handing down from their strong branches. Hesitantly, she put down her hands. She heard the noise. It was the shiver of leaves and creak of sturdy tree trunks. Then she looked down - her feet were sunken into a one-colored mass. It made her feet feel unpleasant. It was soft and wet moss spread underneath the crones of the trees covering fallen branches, tree trunks and hillocks. It smelled of bog and rotten water. Then she spotted blurred stains wandering and flashing between the trees in the corner of her eye. They were oval with sprouts of different yet the same colors. They moved swiftly. Those were frightened animals. She saw boars and dears rambling around her and not approaching. She sighed and sat bowing her head. Her forehead hurt.

A puddle of dirty water was next to her. She put her hand into it. It was cool. She washed her face then spit, it tasted like earth. She examined herself. Her shoes were gone, skirt was thorn and hands bled a little. She got up. The sun was high but down there, under the crones, it was not hot. She started moving forward, heading to somewhere else. She tried her best not to think of the creature of leaves that was left behind. Gusts of wind blowing leaves on the trees upward made her shiver and flinch. She hurried.

She passed between gigantic trees, ducked underneath low-hanging vines and slowly made her way through the forest. All out of the sudden she recognized a new sound – yet it was soft and seemed distant it sounded like waves crushing against the shore. Her feet were weary but she managed to make this last dash and ended up on a broad sandy beach looking at the azure sea. She looked back. It was bizarre how tall trees stood high against the endless sea. She stepped into the water, it was warm and pleasant. She sat into the water feeling small waves washing against her body. Looking around she spotted a couple of strangely big crabs, a flock of birds here and there flying in the sky or attacking the water. She got up feeling refreshed, though her skirt was soaking wet. She could only hope for it to dry while she was under the sun on the beach. She went along the beach for how long she could tell not, as the sun did not seem to set down. As the beach stretched to the south there always were high trees, hot sand and salty sea. On the beach she saw some wild animals which did not look like anything she knew – they had four short trunks, long body, purplish fur covering it and wide hooves. Those animals scavenged the beach and dug something out of the sand and ate it. They were not afraid of her and neither was she, as she even managed to lay her hand on one of them.

Beneath the shadow of the first line of trees, where the sand met the land she found bird nests and eggs a bit bigger then chicken eggs in them. Back in her home she enjoyed eating raw eggs. Her mother had always told her that it was a part of a perfect breakfast for a lady. She cracked one of the eggs. It smelled like goose egg. She ate it and wiped her mouth clean. It was not too delicious but it helped her carry on. She went a little further into the forest. It was all the same. She wondered if she was going in circles. She saw some fruits on bushes and on some plants rising from the moss. They looked disgusting and she dared not to eat them.

Still she was very hungry and the sun was setting down at last. She looked for some kind of stick. She found one occasionally, shorter than her arm but it had a pointy end. She made her way back to the beach. After a hundred steps she saw two crabs clumsily fighting with their claws over some kind of water plant that looked like a tube. She came up to them and with all her strength she pierced one with the stick. The end went through crabs body. It twitched. The other crab fled, it seemed to had forgotten about the feud. She raised the stick with the crab and went to the forest. On her way she found some weighty rocks and pocketed them.

She went deeper into the forest feeling uneasy. She gathered some wood and laid it in the driest place. She could feel eyes watching her back. The firewood was just fine, not too wet, as she gathered it closer to the beach. She pulled out two rocks and started hitting one with the other. The sun was then gone. She continued her labor. She saw a spark. She felt animals stirring nearby. She felt eyes closely watching her. She hit the rocks once more. The flame started and spread over her firewood, pushing the night away. She heard load squeaks and roars and sound of many hooves fleeing. She was excited.

She stretched her arms over the flame to warm herself up. The warmth spread across her body from the tips of her fingers to the feet. She pick up the stick with the pierced crab – she had no clear idea of how to eat it, so she simply put it in the flames hoping that fire would make her food taste better. She heard squirts and squeaks of roasting meat. The sound seemed delighting to her. A couple of minutes later she pulled out the stick. The crab was charred but when the shell was cracked the meat revealed itself to be quite mouthwatering. She took a bite. It was sea-salty and hard to chew but the hunger made her tongue insensible. She quickly devoured the crab, her face was wet with the meat juice so she wiped it with a hand. She dared not use herbs and leaves growing nearby for she was afraid of poison that might had been found there. It was already pitch dark, only the flames lit nearby surroundings. Her ears caught various beasts’ sounds coming from the depth of the forest. She clenched her teeth.

The meal made her thirsty and she started looking around for another puddle of water, but there was none as this part of the forest seemed much drier after all. She was about to rise and search for water when a gentle whisper came into her hearing. In fact it was not whispering but leaves rustling. She saw a figure with two green eyes approaching from the darkness. She was unable to move. The creature was human-like, but higher than an average man, more slander, with thin and long limbs, she could see something like horns atop the creatures head. She bended down and picked up a thick and heavy burning branch from the fire. She stepped forward and the creature came into the light. It shivered. It was afraid of the flame, but stood its grounds. She examined it. Woven of leaves and vines with some implications of wood on its breast arms and legs. Its horns were weirdly twisted and made of wood as well. Inside it there was a certain green light, like many fireflies were trapped within its rib cage. She approached it. The creature turned its pointy head to her. It stretched its arm and opened the palm, on it there opened something that resembled a flower, but a very lush one which smelled very sweet. The flower was covered in a thin layer of sticky liquid which shone in the light and there was some kind of fruit inside the blossom - a small orange grape. She felt vomit coming up her throat. She was disgusted. She was disgusted by the fruit. The fact that the creature offered her something made her disgusted. She was disgusted by the creature’s presence. She was disgusted by its existence. She pulled forward, her head light yet clear. The creature stepped forward with its palm open. The girl stopped, she breathed heavily, she was shaking, and with a loud cry she raised the branch and crushed it on creatures’s head. There came a high-pitched shriek. The half of the branch bursted and a gust of sparks rained down onto the creature. It backed. She quickly pick up another burning stick and rushed forward landing a hit after a hit on the creature. It took every blow with a cry but could do nothing. Her fury was unstoppable. The stick got stuck in the vines and leaves of the creatures body and she reaped it back and continued the onslaught. The creature caught on fire. It let an inhuman scream and fell onto its knees. She kicked its breast with her foot and burning remains of the creature’s body were scattered. She was not contented. She was not yet done. She kicked the fire and the burning logs mixed with the burning remains. The great fire started. It spread across the grass, claimed the trees, jumped from branch to branch and devoured everything that stood in its way. She watched the forest burn. The fire was all around her, hot and violet. It felt like the end. Her skirt then was on fire. She let it burn. She gave herself up to the beautiful nature of the flame. It did not hurt.

She was awoken by her manservant, who complained about his mistress being too sleepy. She bid him good morning and asked whether her father had returned from the hunt. A short “no” came as the answer. She could not care less. She asked to be brought breakfast into her bed and laid down for awhile, savoring the ashes on her lips left by an uneasy dream.

I feel as if this transition is extremely important to Clementine’s character, as Omid and Christa took care of her far longer than Lee, Kenny or Jane - and arguably better - than any of them ever did. The moment Omid died, Clementine lost hope in the world again and her mentality becomes a lot more depressing.

The aftermath of Clementine’s exile from The New Frontier and being separated from AJ - from her last talk with Ava to her time alone and then in Prescott, and her dark time spent there. It’s all very much headcanon based, but this is where Clementine truly becomes her own person, this is where she truly grows fiercer, this is where she learns to fight back and become harder and stronger. This is her time when there is no one looking out for her, no one is there to watch her back, and all she has is herself. During her time in The New Frontier, she was a medic and supply runner, but then she steadily grows into one of the group’s fiercest fighters, with help from Ava, who teaches her how to fight and archery, morse code, parkour and survival tactics - Ava is a woman trained in the army, and Clementine took her teachings to heart. During her time in Prescott, Clementine descends into a much darker mentality and it’s possibly the darkest place where she’s ever been and she starts doing many morally questionable things. This is her transition from Season Two to A New Frontier. For a year, Prescott would be her home and it would shape her into someone much darker and demented beyond recognition. That sweet little girl that her parents had raised and Lee had protected was gone in that city, almost like she’d never existed. Whenever she walked into a bar, she could hear the hushed whispers of “it’s THAT girl,” “poor thing”, “didn’t she shoot a walker point blank in the face?”. No one knew her real name, as she never gave it out, so they resorted to naming her “Hellgirl” and Clementine relished in her new identity. She quickly found herself being a mythical figure - and even a bit of a celebrity - a girl of her stature having survived this far into the apocalypse.She learns how to ride a horse and ride a motorcycle in Prescott. She stole, murdered, drank, smoked, got high and gambled… in fact, she made a living out of it as a child mercenary. She was living in sin all at age twelve. She had managed to become quite the thief, as well, as she was light and quick on her feet. At one point, she even owned a bar and had hired wayward men and women to guard her.That girl is gone now, faded with time, yet her wildness is only barely concealed by a stonewalled composure.

Clementine and her time spent at Wellington - I feel as if this would be really sweet to see, something for her to look forward to, somewhere it’s safe for her and AJ… until it’s destroyed, at least.

Clementine finally arriving at the McCaroll Ranch and reuniting with AJ... and the possible events that might’ve occurred there.

Clem learning flower language from a book in Ericson’s greenhouse and giving flowers with their own respective meanings to people.

-Clementine dealing with her own mental health issues.

-Clementine becoming a pagan witch and a beginner in witchcraft.

-Ericson’s being haunted by the deaths of Marlon, Brody and Mitch… and who knows whoever… or whatever else lingers through the campus?

-GROUP THREADS!! MORE THAN TWO MUNS IN A THREAD!! PLEASE GIVE THEM BAC K I MISS THEM!

Card games with the Ericson’s squad!!

-Clementine experimenting with her sexual orientation.

-Clementine experimenting with her gender identity.

-Clementine discovering and learning more about her African heritage.

-threads where muses talk about things that confuse them.

-threads where muses talk about things that have hurt them in the past.

-threads where muses talk about their deepest fears.

-threads where muses talk about sexual and romantic orientation and relationships (past and present !!)

-THREADS WHERE MUSES HAVE DEEP CONVERSATIONS AND ARE VULNERABLE WITH EACH OTHER.

-Clem as a babysitter to Tenn, Willy and AJ.

-CLEMENTINE AS A MOTHER AND ACTUALLY SETTLING DOWN WITH SOMEONE AND BEING HAPPY.

-CLEM LIVING UNTIL SHE’S AN OLD LADY AND DYING PEACEFULLY IN HER BED SURROUNDED BY HER CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN AND FRIENDS.

-AU where the original concepts that were planned for Season Two and Season Three: A New Frontier happen to Clementine… and make her a much darker character. However, I must warn you that this AU would not be for the faint of heart and contains heavy, mature themes. It is arguably a lot worse than what she endures in canon, and that’s saying a lot. Clementine’s mind slowly becomes darker and demented the more she ages, she begins to look at the world in a nepotistic way, and she will do whatever it takes to survive, and she will brutally murder whoever stands in her way. Basically, this is a much darker version of Clementine and a lot of things in her canon change, i.e AJ is dead, Kenny is more or less Clementine’s enemy, etc.. This verse begins in Season Two and will continue onward from there. HERE IS THE LINK. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

-AU where Clementine is taken in and trained as a soldier of the Delta against her own will or otherwise.

-Modern AU scenarios!! Youtube Channels, vines, memes, shenanigans!!

-ROADTRIP AU!! BASED OFF OF THIS POST!! I JUST NEED THE SQUAD TO BE NORMAL KIDS FOR ONCE AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING KIDNAPPED OR BEING DEVOURED BY WALKERS???? I WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY AND CAREFREE?? IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK????

-Interactions between Clementine, AJ, CJ and Clem’s pet tigress, Rani, based off of THIS POST. Honestly, Clementine and AJ are one hella awesome duo, but add that in with Omid and Christa’s child and oh, I dunno, A FUCKING GIANT TIGER is even BETTER. Also, CJ and AJ are a lot like brothers and their bond is just so wholesome. CJ’s witty and lighthearted and is one of the only people capable of calming AJ down - CJ is also more analytical and calmer than AJ is. I just want Rani to be feral, scary but also soft and sweet - she has an appetite for walkers and the living alike, and she’s not completely tamed, but she’s mostly cool with most humans, but harm Clementine or the two kids and she will rip you apart and eat you. Clementine found her in an abandoned zoo back in Season Two and has been taking care of her ever since... and now, Rani is HUGE. God forbid you trespass on her eating, that’s not a good time. Also, I just wanna see other muses’ reactions to this huge tiger that Clem easily pets and cuddles with.

-Clem becoming a Whisperer, perhaps with James and Charlie? I haven’t read the comics yet, but I know a bit of what happens and what the Whisperers are really like. It’d be really cool to see Clementine in this kind of scenario - but I don’t think she’d be the same girl we see in canon.

-Clem joining settlements from the comics (i.e Hilltop, Alexandria, the Commonwealth, etc.)

-CLEMENTINE IN HER PRIME AND BECOMING HEADMISTRESS OF ERICSON’S WHILE REBUILDING IT AND MAKING IT AN ACTUAL SCHOOL FOR SURVIVORS AND ALL THE WHILE DREAMING OF A BETTER WORLD - AN AGE WITHOUT WALKERS.

-Harry Potter AU!!

-Naruto AU!!

-ASOIAF/GOT AU's!!

...and a lot more, but those are the ones I really, really want!

what are your favorite hobbies? 

Hmmm.. reading, writing, making aesthetics and moodboards, daydreaming, listening to music and cuddling with my cats!

what are you favorite/least favorite foods? 

MMMMMM PIZZA ICECREAM APPLES PURPLE GRAPES AND COOKIES!! As for foods I don’t like, uhhhhhh… veggies???? Idk I’m not a fan, SOMEONE BEAT MY ASS

what’s a plot that you will never touch? 

Hmmm… honestly, I don’t think there’s any plots I will never refuse? I’m roleplaying a girl growing up in the apocalypse, after all, so I’m very willing to roleplay morally questionable topics and threads with dark themes? In fact, I encourage it! Please don’t ever hesitate to plot with me no matter how dark it is!!

if you had to rp as a different character/characters, who would they be? 

Uhhhh… hmmm, I have a lot of ideas from many different fandoms! If I were to pick a few muses, it’d be Daenerys Targaryen from ASOIAF, Nymeria, the Princess of Ny Sar who ended up ruling Dorne from ASOIAF, Lyanna Stark from ASOIAF, Uchiha Madara from the Naruto series, Terumi Mei from the Naruto series, and maybe Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter series.

what would be your irl fc as clem you would pick? 

At the moment, Amandla Stenberg, especially with her Modern AU’s! A lot of people pick Zendaya and I just… why??? She looks NOTHING like Clem??? I’m very picky with my IRL FC’s but it took a long while to pick an IRL fc. Thanks to all of Amandla’s pics with her hair in braids, cornrows and the likes, I just really want Clem with traditional African hairstyles??????  GIVE THAT BLACK SCORPIO QUEEN SOME COOL HAIRSTYLES!!

if you could visit anywhere in the world for your birthday, where would it be?

God… ANYWHERE? Preferably somewhere in Eastern Asia, Europe or in the Caribbean, because those places just sound so amazing and fantastic to me? Canada doesn’t have a lot of cool things in comparison to those countries imho so it’d be nice to be somewhere else. If we want to be REALLY specific, possibly Kyoto, Japan, Shanghai, China, West Palm Beach, Florida or Jaipur, India.
