Is it?

“Daddy!”

Lucius sighed behind a copy of the Daily Prophet. He ignored the way Narcissa snorted from the other side of the kitchen table.

“Draco, we discussed this. You are to call me father.”

He didn’t have to look down to know that Draco was pouting. Five years old wasn’t old enough to have proper decorum… yet.

“But you said I could call you that in secret.”

Narcissa snorted again, and he debated about replacing her cleansing potion with a dye potion. Then they’d see if that humor lasted.

“We aren’t in secret, are we?” When he looked over the top of the paper he was proven right. Draco was pouting.

“I forgot what it meant.”

Lucius sighed again. It wasn’t worth it. Battles only mattered if they were won, and Lucius knew the moment that his son was born that Draco would win every battle.

“But that doesn’t matter!” Draco cried, hands clapping together. “You said one day I would get married and have a wife.”

“Yes,” Lucius said slowly, not bothering to look up from the paper as he began to read again. “I also said you needed to practice your studies so that you can take over the Malfoy name.”

“I don’t care about that.”

Battles. Losing battles.

“I decided that I’ll be the wife!” Draco continued; voice closer to a yell than anything polite. No decorum, he must get that from Narcissa.

“Pardon?” Lucius put down the paper and gave Draco his full attention, ignoring the wheezing laugh that Narcissa didn’t attempt to hide.

“I want to be a husband,” Draco said, puffing out his chest. “But I also want to have a husband too. So, I think that means I’m a wife.”

Decades of heartbreak, yells, fights and screams echoed in his mind before his son’s pleading eyes broke through. Lucius could feel Narcissa’s eyes on him, but this wasn’t a moment when he needed her help. Draco came to him, not her. These were his hangups, not hers. This was his time to be someone better for his son than his father was for him.

There were many criticisms that people held of Lucius—most of them true—but the one thing he wouldn’t be was his father.

“Two men can get married.”

Draco gasped at the same time Narcissa did.

“They can?” Draco did a weird set of movements that he believed was some kind of dance routine. Merlin knew where he picked up that from. The more he thought about it, Draco did spend far too much time with Dobby.

“Yes,” Lucius said with a sad tilt of his lips as he placed a hand to Draco’s cheek. “But there’s going to come a time when you’re going to have to ask yourself if it’s worth it. There will be a lot of people against it, they will expect more from a Malfoy heir.”

Draco frowned; head tilted. “But you said Malfoys don’t care about the thoughts of those beneath us.”

Lucius huffed, refusing to laugh even if his lips twitched.

“You’re right.” Would there ever be a battle he’d win with Draco? “So, then I’ll ask you. Is it? Is it worth it?”

Draco’s forehead wrinkled, tongue poked out as he made a very long and exaggerated thinking sound before he said in a tone that booked no argument,

“Yes.”

“Then you’d best find yourself a husband.”

Draco did another dance… if that was what one would call such a thing.

“Yes! You hear that mum? I get to be a husband and have one!”

“I did hear,” Narcissa said with such a soft sweet smile that Lucius fell in love all over again. “My baby is all grown up.”

Draco puffed out his chest again before he ran out of the room—with no decorum—as he said, “I have to tell Dobby! We have to start planning now.”

That brought a whole set of images that would have to be rectified as soon as possible. The last thing they needed was that senile elf planning anything.

Before he could walk after Draco, Narcissa placed a hand on top of his and said something that no one had ever told him before.

“I’m proud of you.”

And you know what? Lucius was proud of himself too. Just as he was proud of Draco—always would be.

Always.

THANKSGIVING RENDEZVOUS Season 8

"Think they noticed?"

Kate grunts and opens one eye, pulling herself back from the edge of sleep to give her husband a half-hearted glare. "Huh?"

Rick shifts to his side, facing her, and trails his finger down her bare back. "Our families. What'd you tell your dad?"

"Needed more whipped cream." She smirks and shuts her eyes. "And that the first two stores I went to were out."

He chuckles. "Funny, I said the same thing." He leans over and presses his lips to her shoulder. "Hopefully our parents won't compare notes."

She groans and buries her face in her pillow. "God, we're so obvious, aren't we?" She feels Rick shift again, and her breath gets caught in her throat when his mouth starts a slow path down her spine.

Her hips lift on their own accord, pushing back into him when he raises up behind her, palming her waist, circling his thumbs around the small of her back.

"Speak for yourself," he husks, dusting his lips across her back. "I'm a good liar."

She scoffs. She expects resistance when she turns over, but he simply slides his hands down her legs when she wraps them around his waist and pulls him close. "Oh please."

"I think-" He grunts when she digs his fingers into his waist. "Shit. I think we're still having trouble finding the whipped cream," he jokes, his voice strained.

She arches her back, his name falling from her lips with a gasp when he pushes into her. "Might need to check a few more stores," she manages. "Maybe the whole island."

By the time they eventually make their way to their respective Thanksgiving dinners, they may as well have searched all five boroughs. And if their respective family members suspect anything, they don't say a word.

“I guess I just don’t know what to say. ‘Sorry for killing your tribute’ doesn’t really seem to cover it.”

Haymitch shrugged. “Never had a winner before, not going to get one now. No need to apologize for that.”

Emerald didn’t feel any better.

“I’m sure you’re sick of hearing it,” he went on, “but you do look so much like her. At least, back when she was that age.”

“You must have known her,” Emerald offered, slowly finding her voice again. “You won your Games back-to-back.”

“Sure did. Couple of us were pretty close back then. Amethyst was a good one. Wish she could have stuck around a little longer.”

The look in Haymitch’s eyes told Emerald that he knew her death wasn’t an accident.

“She was certainly popular.” Emerald scoffed. “It seems all anyone wants to do is compare me to her, though. Can’t say it’s the most flattering comparison.”

“Nah,” Haymitch said, rolling his eyes. “It is. Everyone liked Amethyst.” He gave her an appraising look. “You might just be able to live up to it.”

I've had multiple near-death/death experiences, and I know something, demon-wise is near me at all times. can feel its touch at times. How do I see it? I've only caught glimpses in my dreams if I don't have a dream catcher, but I want to know who they are and everything. name wise so I can understand them? him? her? so help?

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.
