#River Silversweater

[izayoichan]

He wandered around the room, only snapped out of the whirling thought pattern when one of their cups suddenly hit the ground and he saw them, the wings. The same wings he had given his avatar back then were actually a thing. He had to get out, he couldn’t stay, he was about to turn into a dragon, and then this entire house would be a mess. To not alert Flynn he grabbed his phone, sending him a very badly typed message that he was just taking a walk, and without waiting for an answer, he fled out the back door.

Arlene: What?

River shook his head, focusing back on what he was doing. It was such an odd sensation, a tug, like he needed to be somewhere, and he could sense, although lightly because of the distance, stress and fear from the heartlight.

River: Nothing, sorry, let's focus on this.

It was a bigger operation, both him and his mom were here to help with the horse, and as worried as he was about what he was feeling, he had to finish it before he checked it out. The big Ardenner was a three person job, without a doubt.

How he had got where he was, he wasn’t actually sure about, he was just here, at the park that River had shown him some weeks ago, maybe it was because he knew it was well hidden and River had said no one really ever came there. Sighing he started walking back and forth as anxiety and fear slowly took over. What would River think, he already had a son, and this would be a dragon, it was an egg! Wiping away some tears, he just kept walking, as his mind dwelled ever deeper into what mess this could be.

Noe Bodi Gameplay: Day 29

WE CHECKING IN ON ALL THE SIMS WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Jeremiah (@seulvgi) was up early in the morning, trying to call Kash (@saruin) to talk things out. But she didn't pick up. Of course she was still asleep. He spent the rest of that morning power sculpting through his feelings, determined to meet up with the girl of his dreams and fix whatever was broken.

Kash was actually NOT asleep; she was just unsure of what to say to him right now. She knew she'd never felt anything like this before, but she also knew things were harder with him than they'd been with anyone else. So she made herself a lil microwavable chocolate cake to distract herself from her uncertainties.

Between you and me, I checked their relationship bits. As you can see, these are soulmates with awful compatibility. Which means they're going to have to work twice as hard to have the happily ever after they're looking for. Do you believe they can make it?

Noemy(@beebeesiims) was having a much better morning. After reading an inspirational book of poems, she hurtled into the kitchen with energy on 100 and made TWO excellent dishes: Pasta Primavera and Red Velvet Cupcakes. You are doing AMAZING sweetie.

Pandora(@gloomiegalaxie-sims), exploring the Magnolia Promenade, celebrated her first snow in the SimWorld by skating around the local ice rink with Simeon Silversweater and Ukupanipo Hekekia, funnily enough (cause I know these mermaids aren't feeling the winter weather).

Donna(@elysiantrait) went to the Art Center bar and had a grand time drinking with Kleo(@lotusplum) and Riaan(@wibblywobblytumblywumbly). She wasn't even interested in the art! Maybe she was just looking to mingle with new sims? Well, they all got that wish granted!

You know who was actually there for the art? Pax(@theosconfessions) and Khalil(@fl0pera). Two buds with fine taste. Look at their lil' smiles!

Maike(@fl0pera) was sparring outside in the brick cold because a true slayer never quits training. She's gotten quicker since the last time I saw her.

Rhea(@fl0pera) was changing into her uniform (which isn't cute enough for her) and heading out to work like the hardworking badass she is.

Martin(@starjira) was investigating a possible missing persons case around Willow Creek and ended up sitting in the park to observe who comes and goes in the area.

The only sim around at the time was Hiro(@sofft-neko-sims), who was playing chess with himself.

That night, Luco's(@tr-angyo) house was filled with cheer as he spoiled his guests Felix(@madfeary), Rain(@riverofjazzsims), and Stephanie(@kazuaru) to their hearts' desire.

And look, even Mothman(@occultradio) was there!

Rivers(@gloomiegalaxie-sims) and Lou Howell were watching TV at his place with no problems at first...

Until they remembered it was a Full Moon.

Aaaand last but certainly not least, my simself Noe Bodi was sipping on that late night Bubble at ThirfTea and looking fly while doing it. AS. USUAL.

She also ran into Noemy there, so that was nice. They finally met!

I'm so grateful to everyone who has given a sim to use in this series. I've been having so much fun making myself PLAY the game instead of just taking pictures (as much as i love to do that) because now I can enjoy the gameplay mods I've used up so much computer space to download! 🤣 There will be more coming soon, with more sims and more chaotic interactions, but for now, the representative song for this gameplay is: "People Make The World Go Round."

XOXO

The town of Glimmerbrook is unlike anything Lana has ever seen--and she grew up in Forgotten Hollow.

The houses are different somehow. The people, too. The sea witch inside of her shivers faintly, as if she has trespassed into foreign territory.

On her right-hand side, Pepa seems to be doing the opposite. Lana watches as her daughter seems to blossom beneath the blue-green sky. Surrounded by towering cliffs and thick forest, it's an idyllic town, if not a bit uninteresting. Or, at least, it would be uninteresting if not for Tracey's hint that they'd find Pepa's answers here.

They enter a cozy-looking bar and find the man they're looking for dancing alone near the jukebox.

He introduces himself as Simeon Silversweater and immediately invites them to dance. Yong-sun, who's beginning to look a bit green, excuses himself to the bathroom. Lana loves dancing and immediately boogies with this stranger.

Pepa, embarrassed, slinks off to the side. Thankfully, the conversation is a quick one. He tells them to follow the river to a broken portal, examine it, and report back to him on their findings. They take off without Yong-sun this time, who's been taking this entire experience much worse than Lana.

When she asks about a school, he smiles secretively and shoos them towards the door.

Gen 2 Heir

“Why are there so many mages here?

Hayden takes Vy's hand.

“Because they are his friends, and all are pretty much tasked to protect us, so.. “

He stops as the music starts playing, turning his head to watch, quickly kissing Vy's hand. They had decided to wait until their baby was born before they married, to not put any undue stress on anything. 

With the music changing, Vy turns his head and watches Rylan walk inn. He was sad he didn't get to use a pretty suit, but he liked the clothes he got to wear, they were comfy and unconstraining. With a smile, watching little Meadow on her princess dress walk down the aisle, throwing flower petals at the guests, Rylan friends, and their family. Squeezing Hayden’s hand he whispered.

“Wow. Rylan looks beautiful.”

River took a deep breath, his eyes on Meadow, a smile thrown towards his adorable little sister, then at his mother who smiled too, behind them, Madeline working her wonders to record their wedding. Slowly, River looked up and it was as if all air was caught in his lungs. Rylan was beautiful, breathtaking, a true prince walking down the aisle to marry him. His smile grew with each step as Rylan got closer and closer to him. Hayden smiles at Vy and nods, he had to admit his brother knew how to dress.

“Not as beautiful as you, but yes.”

He watched his brother walking, finding himself quite looking forward to his own wedding. Vy blushing from Hayden’s comment, smiling and watching them. He looked down at his stomach, imagining their own wedding, there was a chance their little star would be their flower child going down the aisle throwing petals, for a moment that sadness he still felt touched him, if they had been two, one would bring the ring, the other flowers, but it wasn't meant to happen. He shook his head, no, happy moment, no feeling sad, their little star from above was watching them. Hayden squeezes Vy’s hand gently, easily knowing where his mind was, he could feel the hint of sadness in Vy, putting his other arm around him, so he could lean on him and rest against him properly if he needed to. 

Rylan notices his brother and Vy, a quick smile at them before his eyes solely focus on the man in front of him, Hayle who to no one’s surprise got along swimmingly with Meadow holding out his arm to her so she could come to sit with him as they had rehearsed.

He holds on to River's hand tightly, it being his way of keeping River calm, or at least so that he knows that he is there for him, once again wishing he had a calming spell. Gently stroking the palm of River's hand with his thumb. 

“It's good to see you again.” “It is you... “

Her face of surprise changed from surprise to sheer joy, tears came to her eyes and she rushed forward, reaching for River who just stood stiff, she reached for him, cupping his face.

“Oh my sweet boy! What have they done to you?”

River finally seemed to snap out of it, holding her hands he pulled them off, looking over at her, there was surprise, pain, happiness, he couldn't even understand what he was feeling. Summer stepped back, looking at him, then at Rylan, then back at him, rubbing her arm.

“Oh River, I am so sorry! I am so sorry for having left. I am so sorry for letting you go! look at you, your face, it's scarred. What did they do to you?” “I'm a sage…”

It was all he could say. It had been something she had wanted for him for so long, perhaps it was what she wanted to hear. Rylan watches them, realizing quickly they're both hurting, as soon as he takes his mom's hands off him and pulls back, he makes sure to wrap his arm around his waist, taking his arm and putting it over his shoulders, so that he is there, supporting him, being close. 

“It is a long story…”

He leans his head on Rivers shoulder, once again wishing he could do more.

“He is not only a sage, he is a Veterinarian, and we run the shelter together, we moved it recently, to a new and bigger place.” “I saw it... I... Since I left Glimmerbrook I kept checking your social media, sorry Rylan, I just thought if he ever returned you'd be the first he'd go to…”

River exhales slowly making Rylan look at him.

“So you know I have been back for over a year or so?”

There's a controlled anger in his voice. Somehow, knowing that she knew he was back yet didn't come look for him hurt more than if she was completely ignorant to it.

“I assumed you were back when I saw the shelter adverts... “

“You are the best princess here.”

He winked at Meadow who flashed her biggest grin back at him, his dad leading him the last few steps up to River.

“Not that I feel I need to say it, but I'll say it anyway, take good care of my son.” “I will always do so, sir.”

Chris smiles, putting a hand and River’s shoulder, before he pulls back, sitting with Meadow and his husband, a small high five between him and Meadow as he sits down.

“Hey you, handsome frog prince off mine.”

River winks at his little sister as she goes to sit with Hayle, then he takes a deep breath, as Rylan greets him, he got all the air stolen from him once more, all speech. Green and gold, so beautiful. He wanted to greet Rylan, he truly did, but all he could feel were tears coming to his eyes. They were going to marry, after so long, after so many things in their way, his wild magic driving them three years apart, getting to know each other again, Carl hurting Rylan, his own wild emotions getting in the way, but after all, they went through, here he was, standing in front him, beautiful, so very beautiful, and River was beyond joy, the tears fell and he chuckled, cleaning his tears and taking Rylan's hands in his.

“Hey you, my kind beautiful princess of mine.”

Rylan smiles as he lifts his hand to dry away the tears, trying not to start crying himself. This had been something he had dreamed of all those years River had been gone, keeping him going in some way. Now that the day was finally there, it was almost like he was afraid to wake up and find this all some type of fancy dream. 

“It feels a little like a dream.. doesn't it?” “If it is, it better never end”

Rylan looked to the side as Kieran took his place, much like he could wed a reaper, he was the natural choice for the two of them.

“You two have your rings and your vows ready?”

He smiles, they had already decided to make it short, cutting down on the extra talk.

“I have mine ready”  “I don't have any vows ready, but I will speak from my heart”

River smiles at Rylan, taking his hands to his lips and kissing them, he can't stop smiling.

“Indeed.” 

He takes hold of River’s hand, using his tail to move them underwater much like they would in a dance, the moonlight slowly filling the cave with shifting colors of light. 

“Sadly I don't think my phone would survive down here, or I would have brought it for music, but I guess the sounds off the ocean will just have to do.” “I have never danced underwater!” “Me neither actually, but I felt like it should be possible.”

he laughs and kisses Rylan gently, holding unto him and pressing his forehead against Rylan's.

“I love you, my fianceé.”

They just float in the water as the light around them slowly fades as the moon moves. 

“I love you too, more than you can imagine.”

River smiled, this was more magical than anything he could remember, Rylan pulling him back towards the surface as the cave once again turned dark. The two swim back to shore to pick up their clothing, Rylan stopping, looking at the castle. 

“You know.. Part of me would like to keep this castle.. “ “Hmh.. would be hard to move.” “Yeah.” “But we will have the memory, nothing can take those away.” “And the pictures.. But most importantly, I have you.”

He turns around and pulls River close, kissing him gently. The sound of waves gently washing up on the shore was the only other sound than their voices, the moon reflecting in the waters behind them, the stars shimmering on top of the waves. Part of him wanted to stay here forever, and just keep this moment, but he also wanted to share this new with everyone. 

“Time to go home princess?” “Yes we have some news to share.”

River smiled, pulling Rylan into one more kiss. 

“The best news.”

“I admit I cheated... I got some handy help with mine.”

He had practiced them so many times in front of the mirror, but now that he stood there, they felt like they had vanished from his mind having to dig them back up and hope he remembered them fairly right. He took the ring, holding it in his hand then he looked at River. 

“River, I knew from the very moment I laid eyes on you that you were my forever. Someway, somehow, it felt like it would be us. I promise to give you all of my words when needed or when you ask for them. And to share in the silence when they are not, to pick you up if you are down, to love you unconditionally, to lay my bare skin on you when needed most, to care for you and our families for as long as we live, to adventure with you always, to say I love you before falling asleep each night, to be the best princess I can be, continue together, and to always know in the deepest part of my soul, that when challenges arise we will always find our way back to one another. River, you are my everything and this is my promise to you.”

He smiles a small blush on his cheeks, as he put the ring on River's finger, the ring gold with green emerald woven through it, fitting the theme of the wedding as well. River smiles, blushing red, again he starts tearing.

“Rylan, my love, my princess, my everything. I am going to be honest with you, my love. First time I saw you all that crossed through my mind was: Great! Another pretty boy getting his quota of good deeds for the day.”

He chuckles shaking his head, Rylan chuckling as well. 

“How wrong I was and I am glad it was so. Diligent, hardworking, understanding, selfless, generous, beautiful, and kind are just some of the words I think of when I think of you. Once you asked me why I called you a princess. Because that is what you are, a fairy-tale come true. You made my life mean something, you gave me a reason to just exist and I cannot imagine my life without you. The moment I first took you to Sulani, if I had any doubt about how I felt about you, I was certain after that day. I wanted to be a man worthy of being loved by you. You were everything to me. You give me reasons to want to live, succeed, and be a better person, just for you. Life has put obstacles between us time and time again and yet we always found our way to one another every time. Rylan, my love, my everything, my fairy-tale princess, I promise to give all of myself to you. I will always give you my voice when you feel yours failing, I promise to hold you strong and shelter you when you feel the world fall around you, I promise to be your shield for whatever life throws at us, and even if fate decides to tear us from another, I promise to always find my way back to you, even if I have to fight your grandfather for it.”

He chuckles once more and holds the ring gently, smiling at Rylan.

“I promise to be your stone, to hold you when the pain, the fear, and weight of the world is too much for you to carry alone, I promise to carry it with you, always and forever. You are not alone, know that I love you, Rylan. I love you. I will always be your frog prince and that is my promise to you.”

“Let's just take it off, it's as you say, not meant for you, perhaps, one day in the future, it can be used when Meadow gets married.”

River nods quietly, keeping his hands over his mouth to stop the cackling and he nods again.

“Help me take it off... I shouldn't have tried it out …” “I'm sorry I asked you too, I should have realized it might be wrong.”

He kisses him on the cheek again, then starts helping him take the coat off, one arm at the time, hanging it nicely back on the hanger, then going back to River, pulling him to his feet, helping him to take off the pants, hanging them back as well, then he gets River's clothes, helping him put them back on too. 

“Better?”

He cups his face with his hands again, letting him take his time to calm down, get his emotions back under control. 

“I love you, we could get married nude for all I care, as long as I get to marry you.”

River sighs, honestly was not expecting the clothes to hit him so hard. It was but a suit, one that was never worn by who it was intended for, but perhaps that was the problem. An eternal memory of a love never reciprocated for a man that no longer existed.

“Don't be sorry... It's not your fault.”

He sighed and gave Rylan a small smile, a cackle bursting free as well as a small chuckle at the last words. 

“Let's go home... Just... I don't know... Get her number and go home... As long as I am with you I am fine either way.” “Home sounds good.”

He smiles, wrapping his arms properly around River just hugging him tight for a little while. 

“I'll get their number, and I'll give them ours, I think Meadow would love to come see our shelter maybe that's a good next step?”

He smiles and kisses River, taking the suit in his arms, so that River wouldn't have to touch it, or think anything more off it for now. They had done what they came here for, met his mother, started the contact and invited them to their wedding. It was a first step, and they would have many more steps to do along the way, but it was a start. He took River's hand.

Rylan looks at himself in the mirror in the room he had close to the wedding venue in Sulani, feeling a hand on his shoulder, Chris smiling at him. 

“Is it normal to be nervous about this.. I mean.. I shouldn't be nervous about this?” “I was nervous before my wedding day, I think it's normal.”

He smiled at his son 

“Both times actually.”

He laughed seeing his son smile a bit as well.

“Both huh..”

He shook his head, looking at himself once more, he had debated on if he would surprise everyone and put on a dress, but in the end, he decided not too, but he did plan to sneakily change before their dance so he could have a dance in one, just to fit the fairytale theme they had chosen. 

“I guess I'm ready.” “Good, I'm looking forward to giving you away, princess.”

He chuckled and smiled at Rylan, holding out his arm. At the same time, River actually paced in front of the aisle they had set up. Everything was beautiful, breathtaking even. He ended up going for a simple black and white suit, with a white coat, to follow the princess and the frog theme. He was nervous, not because he was doubting this, but because of what this meant, he was finally going to marry the man off his life. All he could do was beg for him not to cackle midway through it, he looked at his mother on his side of the aisle, alongside her partner and his interns, master and fellow spellcaster, to whom he could see Vy every now and then glance at with suspicion. Vy is holding Hayden's arm, his belly big at this point due to his egg, resting a protective hand over it

“Ready Meadow?” “Yes, we match!!” “We do indeed.”

Rylan smiled at the little girl, who's Tiana styled princess dress matched Rylan's suits colors, several shades of green with golden decor and trim. 

“Well then, you lead us down the aisle little lady.”

Chris nods at Hayle, who presses play on the music, the song Evangeline from the movie playing as Meadow walks in with Rylan and Chris behind her.

“It's the boy in the pictures! It's him! It's him! It's him!” “Wait... you're River?”

River stares at the little girl. She is like a small version of himself, same curly hair and brown tinted blue eyes, he wants to answer, but right now he feels like all air has been robbed from him and he quickly looks for Rylan's hand to hold, Rylan just staring at them for a while as well, taking Rivers hand when it searches for his, squeezing it gently whispering at the same time that it will be okay.

“Yes, this is River, I am his fiancé Rylan, and we were hoping to see Summer.”

He looks at the little girl smiling at her, then to the man getting a surprised look from him before he looks over at River who almost pulls himself behind Rylan. 

“Summer is... Shit!” “You said a bad word, daddy!” “Just... Come with me! Summer is going to be so happy to see you! Come on!”

He motions them both to follow him towards the back of the house, Meadow following him with the trike.

“W-we just wanted to give her this... it's not necessary... “

River is holding the envelope so tight it's threatening to crumple, Rylan taking it from him gently, after a small smirk from what the little girl had said. 

“Hey, we can do this, together.”

He puts a hand on River's cheek, making him look at him, wishing he had the magic River had so he could help him like he so often did with him. 

“I love you, I don't have a calming spell like you do when I have a panic attack, but you have me, all of me and I will be with you every small step of the way, okay?”

The man watches them, the little girl already gone to the back, probably to tell her mom. River looks at Rylan and nods, walking down from the front door and towards the man, slowly, carefully. His heart racing in his chest, he does not let go of Rylan's hands, afraid if he does, his world will fall apart. There's clattering from the back and a woman comes running towards them. The moment she sees River her eyes widen. River freezes in place. Rylan being the one to break the silence between the two.

“Hello Summer, it's been a while.”
