#Juliette chronicles

[i-only-see-daylight]

Aaron: Juliette is playing hard to get. 

Aaron: Little does she know, I'm a master at playing hard to get rid of.

[sccoobydoobers]

I’m all for Aaron Warner but one of his dumbest moments is being surprised that Juilette, who at the time had been imprisoned for most of her life, hated him with her entire being when he was her ‘captor.’

Like, it’s so simply explained in further books but how was Juilette supposed to know that she was torturing a solider because he was going to perv? How was she supposed to know that the man he shot and killed in front of her was an abuser? That a simulation of her torturing a toddler was a simulation?

How was she supposed to know any of this, to find out when literally none of it was explained to her? Even Adam was shocked when she mentioned the simulation as if it was real, saying that it was obviously fake but, again, HOW WAS SHE SUPPOSED TO KNOW.

Year 1681

TW/CW: Death, Stillbirth

With the new year, Giovanni Cesare and Vivienne's marriage remained turbulent as the pair would alternate between hushed arguing and passionate apologies when they weren't caring for their daughter.

Between his work and family, Giovanni Cesare was happy for the respite swimming brought him.

Back in Tartosa, Iseppo grew into a darling little boy who was more than happy to follow his siblings around.

But sadly, in late February, Leonardo Ludovici drifted in from a swim leaving his expectant wife a widow.

Katharine was distraught after losing her son and now her husband but with her unborn child to think of she did her best to push through and on March 5th, she delivered her second son, Luca.

At the Collari household, Salvador became a toddler to the delight of the household especially his mother who had already lost two young children recently.

Luca grew into a sweet baby and Benetta was happy to dote on her little nephew especially since after her wedding in February, she suspected that she too was with child as the months passed.

Camilla became a little toddler as well and while her parent's were no longer around to see her grow up, her extended family was overjoyed to see her growth.

Sadly back at the Bailey home, while Vivienne bonded with Elisabetta, her mother was devastated when July brought with it labor pains and a stillborn son.

As the Bailey household reeled from their loss, Orelia in her crew's encampment, went into labor in early September. On the ninth of the month she delivered a healthy daughter she named Rosa.

Though it didn't take long until Orelia was spending more time with her ship's captain both in and out of his quarters.

As the year drew to a close, Mr.Bailey discussed with Giovanni Cesare that once the original end of Giovanni Cesare's now extended contract was up, his remaining time would be spent at with a different employer so as to add some more separation between the households. Giovanni Cesare was shocked and worried about how Vivienne would react to the news since even 'disowned' she was living a life of relative luxury at her family home but when the contract was up her lifestyle would reflect his and not hers anymore but that was still a ways off.

Little Rosa grew into herself as news of Marcello and his wife welcoming their own daughter spread and young Juliette received the belated news that her brother had also had a daughter that May. Orsetta was happy to close out the year with her cousin being happy at the safe delivery of both of her nieces and her little sister growing up even if she was too young to play with properly.

Happy book birthday to me and Casey Gilley, the wonderful writer of Goth Parenting! --our own bookish baby bat has been released into the wild to be enjoyed by all goth families (and maybe non-goth parents who dabble in darkness)! Heck, pick up a copy just for the on-point music references and cute (if I do say so myself) illustrations! I was inspired by so many friends over the years <3 Out from Chronicle books thanks to Juliette Capra's hard work!

Grab a copy! And come see us at a signing to be announced soon!

[fozmeadows]

hi! sorry if you've already answered this, but i absolutely adore your tithenai chronicles, and was wondering if you had any favorite queer books to recommend/suggestions for what a fan of your work should read next :) before inevitably restarting my strange and stubborn endurance audiobook again <3 thank you!

Ahh, thank you so much! Regarding book recommendations, two of my all-time favourites are The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison (along with the spin-off novella trilogy, The Cemeteries of Amalo, which consists of The Witness for the Dead, The Grief of Stones and the forthcoming The Tomb of Dragons), and The Books of the Raksura series by Martha Wells (which consists of seven books total: a trilogy, two short story anthologies, and then a final duology). However, I'd also like to recommend some works by authors that are less well-known than Addison and Wells, so! In no particular order:

The Bone Universe trilogy (Updraft, Cloudbound and Horizon) by Fran Wilde;

The Broken Trust quadrilogy (Mazes of Power, Transgressions of Power, Inheritors of Power and a still forthcoming title) by Juliette Wade;

The Titan's Forest trilogy (Crossroads of Canopy, Echoes of Understorey and Tides of the Titans) by Thoraiya Dyer; and

The Ascendant trilogy (The Tiger's Daughter, The Phoenix Empress and The Warrior Moon) by K. Arsenault Rivera. Happy reading! :D

Year 1683

TW/CW: Death, Child Death

January passed with not much to note for the family but sadly that didn't last into February where Antonio and Sarah's youngest son passed on the third of the month. The family tried not to let their sorrow overshadow their youngest's sixth birthday though.

Then March came and Orelia's daughters grew into themselves with Rosa finally being big enough to chase after her older sister and cousin and little Livia grew into looking like her father.

With her older girls being more independent and the younger two old enough to play with their cousin, Elisabetta, Orelia and her young ones would frequent the servant's quarters of the Bailey home to meet up as family.

In Tartosa, May rolled around and on the 25th, Katharine delivered her and Giuliano's daughter, Leandra.

With a more significant age gap between the children and Giulia's help none of the children went without attention for too long.

A month later on June 20th, Vivienne went into labor and safely delivered a third daughter who was thankfully healthy. Despite her parent's fears of jealousy, Elisabetta loved her new baby sister Paola straightaway.

Marina celebrated her thirteenth birthday with her family but with her new stage of life, Alessandra decided that it was time to move on and now that both she and her extramarital lover had been widowed from the famine years back, Alessandra began wedding planning.

Leandra grew into a darling girl to the joy of her parent's who were both all too familiar with the pain of losing a child and both were happy to see her grow.

Vivienne did her best to try and bond with her sister-in-law but they had very different views on the world and more often the only thing they could relate with each other was about their daughters.

Paola grew into a cautious little girl as she grew though it was abundantly clear she favored her mother in looks even as young as she was but she was always happy to spend what little time Giovanni Cesare had to offer with him between his work but she was content with being in her mother's arms as well.

In the crew's encampment, Juliette celebrated her thirteenth birthday with her aunts, uncles, and cousins. Maybe it was her upbringing with her father's family but she had a taste for the finer things in life and Orelia wondered if her life on the seas could give her niece the life she would want or now that her niece's half-brother was more established in their household, Juliette should go back to her paternal side but with the younger girls too small to travel and Juliette being barely thirteen that line of thinking could wait.

October came and it was the night of a full moon when the howls that Giovanni Cesare heard seemed to get closer and closer. Normally he was busy at work or giving his wife the night off to spend with her brother during the moon not that he kept track of it but the howls made it stand out. The young children were with him in the servant's quarters and the noises scared them when the door burst open and a beast broke into the room with him and the children. It didn't matter that he could get caught using magic when his children were in danger so he used his magic to catch the rampaging beast's fur alight. But when the beast went back to its human form as it died... the beast was Vivienne.

Giovanni Cesare barely had the time to mourn the loss of his wife when her mother came yelling at him for the murder of her daughter though nothing could really be done to him officially since her family were beasts and being caught would put the rest of the family in danger so all she could do was yell. But to get him out of the house, the Bailey family made a premature match for Jeremiah with a dependent from another wealthy family so Jeremiah was wed within a week of his sister's funeral and Giovanni Cesare was to take his girls to the new family after moving the young lady into the Bailey home.

The new family turned out to be a young couple, the Carlisles, who moved to the islands around the time Giovanni Cesare did. The patriarch of the family, Jaxsen, explained that he was married to a widow with three children and they moved to the colonies at first but when the youngest of his first wife passed to smallpox they decided to start anew in the islands but his wife didn't survive the journey which is why he had two dependents since he couldn't bear to separate the siblings but when the opportunity came to make a match with an already established family in town for the girl, well he couldn't pass it up. Jaxsen had remarried shortly after arriving to his new wife, a local named Nesta, and their daughter was a little younger than Elisabetta and they were expecting their second. Giovanni Cesare was glad that his new employers were friendly though he supposed that being new to wealth was a factor since the young man had grown up on a farm plot not unlike the one Giovanni Cesare did.

Elisabetta and the Carlisle girl, Kathy, very quickly got along despite Elisabetta's shy nature.

News came that Alessandra remarried in December back in Tartosa but the Carlisle home had little care for events so far away between the girls and Giovanni Cesare's work but time was easing up on the grief felt by the loss of his wife and the guilt that came with the manner of her death as the year came to a close.

(Nesta is a sim I found off the gallery who married into the family, her original name was Nesta Calypso from the ID: Izusibizu)
