Lavender instead of snow

Lavender Fields, Bridestowe Lavender Estate, Australia: Throughout December and January, Tassie’s famous lavender fields burst with purple rows of fragrant flowers, creating truly magical scenes... Bridestowe Lavender Estate is a lavender farm located in Nabowla, Tasmania, Australia. The farm is believed to be the largest commercial plantation of Lavandula angustifolia in the world. Bridestowe was established in 1922 by Charles Denny, and advanced by his son, Tim Denny. It is named in honour of the birthplace of Charles Denny's wife, the English town of Bridestowe. Wikipedia

Lavender Fields, Provence, France: Nicknamed ‘the blue gold,’ a tour around the lavender fields of Provence is one of the best things to do in France! Fine lavender (lavandula angustifolia) is the typical lavender of provence; you won’t find fine lavender anywhere else in the world! The fine lavender grows above an altitude of 800 m, and it is a small plant with a single flower per stem. Traditionally used for medicinal properties, fine lavender became the region’s ‘blue gold’ when the great perfume makers in Provence started using it for their best perfumes...Provence is a geographical region and historical province of southeastern France.

A bit ago I mentioned how Sheep In Wolf’s Clothing by Madilyn Mei is insanely Icarus coded but I wanted to expand on it so here it is!

“I must be a sheep in wolf’s clothing”

Icarus is a doppelgänger for Fable but however hard Icarus tried to measure to their father’s expectations and requests - they couldn’t. (how could they, when they weren’t all themselves? when there was another person personality and mindset infiltrating their own?) They are literally in wolf’s clothing.

“I wanna be mean

Haven’t found my growl”

Throughout the seasons of Fable, Icarus tried again and again to be mean but wasn’t ever able to actually do it right. They weren’t quite able to find their ‘growl’.

“I'll blow your house down/If that's what all the other wolves do/And I try I try I try I try/To fake my way/To become brave/To howl at the moon/To be just like you”

Icarus did everything in their power to be Fable’s perfect child - they followed Fable’s actions to an extreme and in turn, became something they weren’t just to be slightly like Fable.

[the upper half could also be interpreted as Icarus’ childhood]

“One day my whole brain had fallen out of my pocket

Now it collects dust on a shelf”

After The Cathedral Of War, Icarus was never really the same - their brain was so overwhelmed by this event they blocked out their grief and their pain over Centross’ death. They (metaphorically) put their rational brain away and it became more apparent over time that they didn’t want to put it back.

“And I lie I lie I lie I lie awake at night

Counting all my old friends as I try to fall asleep

Forgot what they, what they, what they, what they look like

I hope that they have not forgotten me”

These lines specifically connect to Icarus becoming Quixis. Everybody has literally forgotten them but they have not forgotten them - they ensure that everyone is safe at the cost of people’s memories of them. Although Icarus expressed certainty in their decision of becoming Quixis, I’d think that they would still be somewhat sad of this sacrifice.

That’s my analysis :) I’m sorry it took so long for me to actually write it T-T

How to Build Your Dream Home by NellieSayzBork [T]

At 35, Charlie is finally getting what he wants: A forever home with the love of his life, Ben Hope. They've chosen a beautiful country property in desperate need of some TLC, but as an architect and interior designer, respectively, it will be a dream come true. Of course, as with any reno, they'll need a contractor. Enter Nick Nelson, of Nelson Custom Renos. CW for emotional and verbal abuse being spewed by the world's biggest prick, Ben Hope. But I promise, there's a happy ending! #f*ckbenhope

31 year old Nick Nelson retired from professional rugby and is giving Sarah Nelson a well-deserved year off from running Lavender Fields Bed and Breakfast. And Nick’s doing fine, thank you very much. Until the guest name C. Spring changes everything. Note: 1-31 are the main story. Any chapters after 31 are epilogues offering Charlie's point of view of the story.

Narlie Waves by waveofyou [E]

A Heartstopper California AU where Nick (31) and the HS crew we know and love live in SoCal. Charlie (29) leaves his London office to work in San Diego for a year. Nellie makes a new puppy bestie. Nick is adorable teaching little first graders. Charlie looks hot playing the drums. Nick looks hot surfing. They…ahem…enjoy Nick’s pool…and shower…and balcony. The boys weirdly get snowed in at one point. In Southern California, go figure. Nick helps Charlie see that he's deserving of big, loud love from a certain golden retriever person. Charlie helps Nick to trust that his love is not conditional, that he's safe to fully express himself. A leaves falling, flower petals swirling story of queer love with a spectacular ocean view 🍂🌊🍂 ⚠️ This is NOT a slow burn. They feel the spark, follow it and make fire Any explicit sections are denoted with “🍂🔥🍂” Any triggering flashback, panic attack or detailed eating disorder moments with “🍂⚠️🍂” …so they can be skipped and the story still enjoyed- I’ve written it so no major plot is lost by skipping these sections 🫶🏻 Alternates between Charlie and Nick POV ♥️

Showstopper by PansyFace22 [M]

Buzz is building around the queer extravaganza that’s planned for this season’s run with a bisexual Bachelor - England’s own star pro-rugby player Nicholas Nelson. But what are the showmakers going to do for twelve episodes if their Bachelor and one of the newcomer contestants have fallen in love at first sight? ‘Would you … kiss someone, in front of the cameras?’ Charlie asks, his heart hammering louder than the music in his ears. He moves his body again, feet squeaking closer to Nick’s, his finger where it lies along Nick’s finger on the floor suddenly pressing. He hitches in a breath as he feels Nick’s pinky finger hook onto his. Nick looks at him, his head drifting slightly closer, then he takes a quick breath and looks away. ‘I don’t know … maybe?’ he says.

Nick Nelson has had a secret for many years. Secrets can be hidden away, but they are always there waiting to be shared. A story about acceptance.
