Definitely likely changing the way that this is set to have it be a character list like the other BFCD Masterlists, but for today, this all I got for the girlies. To be fair, it might need to be like the Monsters ones. Or, I might do a separate one that's characters later. Idk.

Today's flower of the day is an easter lily!

Its scientific name is lilium longiflorum

It is a perennial bulb native to the Ryukyu islands of southern Japan.

It blooms in the summers.

While it is a beauty, it is known to be toxic to cats so beware.

In flower language, it is supposed to mean purity and rememberance

Also fun fact about today's illustration is i put eyeshadow on it, that is the shimmer. Why? I had eyeshadow on my table. And it's fun!

I would love any critique, advice or anything you'd like to say

Prompt 2 - Fire

@jegulus-microfic January 2 Word count 156

James had noticed that Regulus never made the fire. He never chopped the wood. Never moved the logs. Never lit the matches. James didn’t truly mind, Regulus helped with everything else. He just always found a way out of doing anything with the fire, and James couldn’t figure out why.  

Regulus went out of his way to not do anything related to their fireplace. Mainly for his own entertainment. He liked to watch James cut the wood with his axe. His muscles rippling as he brought the axe up above his head and swung it down into the waiting log. He loved watching James’s thighs strain as he bent forward, carefully stacking the logs into the fireplace, and he particularly enjoyed watching James purse his lips to blow out the match after he’d lit the fire. 

It was no wonder Regulus demanded a fire most nights, even when it was warm enough to not need one.

Mrs. Hudson has regrets...

January 2

Once all the Christmas decorations were taken down and stowed away, I regretted it. It seems like my flat is as dark as Mordor now. Not as dangerous to live in, but it sours my mood considerably. I haven’t experienced this kind of…depression? No, that’s a bit harsh, but my inner organs all seem to conspire against me. There’s a constant ache I can’t seem to get rid of. I know it’s not physical. Not per se. It has all to do with the residents in 221B. Right about now I can understand and appreciate Sherlock’s mantra “sentiment is never an advantage”. I hurt like hell, that’s for sure. 

A polite knock on my door startles me. No one knocks like that. Not even John, and certainly not the man standing outside when I open it.

“Sherlock? What is it? Has something happened?” I ask anxiously. 

The instant worry with his unprecedented behaviour, puts me on edge. Is it John? Or Sherlock’s parents? His brother?

Warm and large hands are placed on my shoulders and a quiet and soft voice speaks soothingly. 

“Deep breaths, Mrs. Hudson. Nothing’s wrong with John or anybody else, but you aren’t well. John told me about your odd behaviour yesterday, and when I realised, you’d even taken down the wreath outside, I wanted to check on you. This isn’t like you.” he finishes.

I sigh shakily and don’t protest when he embraces me. 

“My dear, boy,” I whisper against his chest. “If you only could observe what’s closest to you.”

Ken Block, November 21, 1967 – January 2, 2023. Incredibly sad news today of the death of rally legend Ken Block. Most recently he caused a stir in the “Electrikhana” on the streets of Las Vegas in the all-electric Audi S1 Hoonitron developed especially for him and his team. Ken Block started rallying in 2005 and competed in multiple seasons of the Rally America National Championship. Hoonigan Industries, the company that Block founded, broke the news in a statement published to social media. “It’s with our deepest regrets that we can confirm that Ken Block passed away in a snowmobile accident today. Ken was a visionary, a pioneer and an icon. And most importantly, a father and husband. He will be incredibly missed. Please respect the family’s privacy at this time while they grieve.”
