I am probably 1 of the three fans of this game in the world, but I cherish it. It's just beautiful and today I bought the playlist on Steam for like 60 cents and it's as beautiful as I remember it. The game is a point and click and it's called Memoria, and I highly recommend it for the visuals, the music, the gameplay and the most beautiful story.

Royal and Hashemite Order of the Pearl

The Royal and Hashemite Order of the Pearl is the dynastic order of the Royal House of Sulu. It is the the premier body and grandest honour of the Royal Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo. The order is an honourable and nobiliary entity that has been instituted as a dynastic Order of Datuship equivalent to the traditional dynastic orders of chivalry. The order continues the traditional customs and magnificence of the Royal Sultanate of Sulu and the Sultan’s Royal Court. His Royal Majesty Ampun Sultan Hadji Muedzul-Lail Tan Kiram, as Head of the Royal House of Sulu, is the hereditary sovereign who possesses the fons honorum and is the Grand Sayyid (Grand Master) of the order.

The Order respects all religions and ethnicities. It focuses on charitable and non-political activities except where the sovereign rights and prerogatives of His Royal Majesty and the Royal Sultanate of Sulu are concerned.

Affirmation of the Order has been declared by The Augustan Society, an international organization founded in 1957 composed of scholars in the fields of chivalry, genealogy, heraldry, nobility and royalty. His Royal Majesty has also been acknowledged by the Associazione Insigniti Onorificenze Cavalleresche (Association of Chivalric Honors), a partner of the International Commission for Orders of Chivalry.

Been thinking a lot about a potential sequel to Daughter of the Rain and Snow recently and it’s quite a funny thought process because scenes will come to me randomly and I have to make notes to remember so I have a growing list that looks something like:

Kiada gets POV chapters this time (heartbreaking)

WEDDING!!! 💍💍💍

Maya + flashbacks + uncontrollable power controlled by emotions = 🚨🚨🚨

Sadja has swimming lessons! 🥳🥰🥰 (Kaz is not having fun though)

Inej needs a ✨screaming session✨

Aimee flashbacks (“sweetheart”)

Clemieeeeeeeeeeeeee my love (sad & happy)

The age old battle of sling versus pram versus Inej’s worst nightmares

Fun times with the new twin prince and princess of Ravka (nb: you really need to name them oops)

No one had ever caught alpha Stiles' eye, until one day when he bumped into omega Peter while he babysat his nephew Derek. There was an instant connection, fireworks, music, wedding bells...

It was a shame that Peter didn't feel the same way - Stiles never had been good with first impressions after all.

Hopefully, he could change Peter's opinion of him.

OR

  “Wait, the guy was called Stiles?” Rich asked. “As in Stilinski?”

  “Oh, baby brother you have hit the jackpot,” Talia joked, nudging Peter teasingly and avoiding his irritated swat of the hand. “How the hell have you managed to get the Sheriff’s son interested while you were playing at the park with Der?”

  “I'm naturally welcoming and charming,” Peter said deadpan. “And it doesn’t matter anyway, because he’s not courting me and I'm not interested.”

 "Pfft, sure, Peter."

Another Character; our fav Thief, Garrett

:heart eyes:

I am going through this slowly but I will get to them all!

First impression

Did you know I used to be terrified of the dark?

He cured that.

Otherwise, I... do not remember. It's been far far too long since I played the game for the first time, but considering the impression he left on me even still it must've been spectacular.

What I do vividly remember is a particular moment in Thief 2, during (I believe) the mission to infiltrate the party. You cross the roofs and there's a section where you balance over a beam and he goes "Caaareefuull." and that moment just STUCK with me.

Same with one where he says "Keep. On. Looking. The. Other. Way." and I keep thinking about these two lines so often, it's silly.

Impression now

I think of him very very fondly and frequently and it's kind of ridiculous how I have been carrying this fictional man around for so fucking long already.

Like, my impression is just: FOND. LOVE.

Favorite moment

I always played Garrett as a ghost; as a thief, not a murderer, killer, assassin. With one exception; the level where the pagan village is raided. I suppose it's more of a "head canon" moment than an actual ingame moment, but when I play games I get really invested in the lines begin to blur.

He killed every single one of those murderous bastards with his bow.

Idea for a story

When my project was still a crossover fan fiction project, Sinvik lost access to her (force) powers and was thrown into his universe be means of disposal by The Bad Guys. He was the guy who taught her that Being A Good Person can be optional and turned her from Light Side Jedi to Grey (yeah I don't care that Star Wars people foam at the mouth when they hear Grey Jedi, I didn't even know Grey Jedi).

Unpopular opinion

Garrett only exists in three Thief games. I don't know who that other dude is; but he is not Garrett.

Favorite relationship

Always OC x Canon with me. I really liked how I wrote him with Sinvik (who was still named Sadja back then) in that fic.

Favorite headcanon

He swipes up scraps of meat to feed to stray dogs and cats.

1 hal yg harus kamu tau sebaik-baikny nasihat cuma kematian. nanti bawa semua sesal-sesal kamu dijannahnya atas perbuatan kamu .

1 hal yg harus kamu pahami mahkluk di dunia ini bukan cuma kamu saja. Btw sejauh ini kamu yang selalu yang membuat rusuh kami tanpa kamu sadar hihi . aku selalu belajar keras dari keadaan , tapi kamu hidup selalu berjalan mundur dan mengklaim keluh kamu ke orang lain. kami sgt baik-baik sadja asal kamu tau. tp selalu jadi riuh ribut karna something dari pada kamu sendiri tanpa kamu sadar hihi.

Tapi balik lagi aku selalu percaya innallah maa'nna tuhan besama org2 yg sabar. dari aku selamat menikmati setiap harinya dengan kemunafikan , egoisme dan mengeluh dalam hidupmu.. Tp doa-doa kmi yg paling baik slalu kami junjung tinggi untuk kamu. Yg mudah-mudahan hati kmu someday bisa lembut agar bisa menghargai prasaan org , dan tidak memberatkan keadaan org yg dimata kamu , kamu anggap selalu growt dlm menapaki hidup dan bervalue. pdhl pada kenyataannya kami juga berjuang hebat tanpa bantu tangan setitik debupun dari kamu :) hati2 jangan terlalu jemawa dalam hidup nanti kami sulit sendiri atas perbuatan kamu sendiri.

So STOP ! seperti kata kamu ''JALANI HIDUP SENDIRI, AKU JUGA PUNYA MSLH SELESAIKAN SENDIRI'' aku ingat betul dalih ini dari 1.000 dalih-dalih kamu yg sgt menyakiti hatiii. kamu yang selalu memulai dan aku sudah muak . Demiallah aku pribadi blm pernah merepotkan masalah ku selama 6thn ini baik materi dan juga batin. atas klise yang lalu-lalu seharusnya kamu sadar awalan yang seharusnya dipertanyakan, tanggungn jwb kamu sebagai apa yang tidak perlu dijelaskan. sangat disayangkan kamu menjadi manusia yang memperhitungkan setiap apa-apa yang kamu perbuat. nauzubila subhanakan inni kuntum minaz zhalimin. aku juga Jujur lbh tenang tidak berkomunikasi sm sekali. krn merasa tertekan hrs selalu memahami setiap ego kamu yg selalu merasa tersakiti dlm hidup, menumpahkan semua masalah kamu yang sering kali tidak valid dan tidak masuk akal ke keadaan kami yg selalu riuh membuat kmi overthingking. Sangat egois ku katakan itu!

jadi sampai disini terserah bagi ku ridho yang aku jalani sebagaimana mestinya saja,

If anyone wants to be added let me know :)

Content Warnings: in more general terms I want to remind people to be aware of the nature of Kaz and Inej's experiences and relationship since even if I'm not directly addressing these things they tend to be implicit in any writing about them, but specifically to this chapter there's ptsd references, anxiety, violence references, blood, wounds, and fear of losing loved ones

Note: Oh my goodness we only have the epilogue left to go... this is insane I can't believe we've reached the end

Chapter 144 - Kaz

At least the Crow Club was back in working order. Beyond that things weren’t looking at their best. Kaz knew from Anika and Pim’s reports that the damage was mostly repaired and they’d reopened the closed wing a few months ago, but he also knew from the income reports Yara had been sending him  that they’d taken a hit. Her projections looked sunnier for next month, but Kaz wasn’t feeling particularly confident. There was a nervous energy about the Slat when he walked in, still as rowdy as it usually was in these early hours of the morning but with a slightly frantic edge. Kaz had known his extended absence would take a toll, but he’d tried to keep in control of what he could. 

“I assume there are rumours going round about -”

“Your mysterious disappearance? Yeah,” said Anika, “We’re treading water trynna cover up for you being missing,”

“Anyone get wise?”

“To the fact you weren’t here or to what you were actually up to?”

Kaz shot her an unamused glare. Clearly he needed to stop telling Anika up to 50% of the truth, because she was getting too good at picking up what the rest of it was. 

“I don’t think so,” she said, ��Not with any proof you weren’t around. Few people here and there are convinced you’re dead,”

That didn’t particularly surprise him.

“Any attempts at territory grabs since you last wrote?”

“Liddies are still riled up, but nothing new except a pretty hollow looking threat from Black Tips,”

Kaz sighed. They weren’t staying in Ketterdam for long, he’d have to get through work quickly and make a few choice appearances if he could spare the time.

As far as Kaz and Inej knew, the plan was for them to drop in on Jesper and Wylan for the afternoon, then go to the house overnight whilst Nina stayed on the Geldstradt. They didn’t have the space to have her at the house by the harbour - especially when Alyssa was staying with them too - and anyway she would only be kept up all night by Sadja. But apparently Jesper and Wylan had other plans, as soon as they were through the door it was all but a demand they at least stay there the first night. They’d even set up a room for Alyssa upstairs, so she was close if Inej or Sadja needed her.

“How are you feeling?” Kaz had asked, watching Inej’s hand find the railing on the porch of the Hendriks house.

“I’m fine,”

Kaz shook his head, looking down at Sadja.

“Once you can talk I’m going to teach you to shout at your Mama every time she says that,” he told her, gently readjusting the sling in hopes of helping her settle.

Nina laughed.

Sadja had done well on the boat, Kaz thought, for a stubborn two month old who had never travelled further than the Grand Palace until a couple of weeks ago, but she hadn’t slept well last night and still didn’t seem to be interested in sleeping now.

“Kaz, really,” said Inej, shaking her head, “I’m okay. I’m just tired,”

Kaz nodded, but he and Nina had shared a brief glance. Inej rang the doorbell and Sadja immediately jutted out her bottom lip in indignation; for a moment Kaz thought she was going to cry but she settled again, still looking a little grumpy. He readjusted his cane so that he could remain balanced whilst he offered her his finger, and once she’d acknowledged it he gently rubbed his hand up and down her tiny tummy.

“Do you not like doorbells, Sadja?”

“I think it’s quite normal for babies not to like loud noises, Kaz,” said Nina, peering over the sling, “You’re okay, aren’t you Sadja? You’re a brave little muffin,”

“Brave little muffin?” asked Kaz.

“Hey, that is just about the highest compliment I’ve ever given anyone,”

“Well, you are brave aren’t you Sadja? You’re just like your Mama,”

She wriggled a little in the sling, as though she was trying to look up at him properly, and smiled. Kaz glowed. 

The door had barely been opened when they were met by the practically shouted words:

“Where’s my niece?”

“Well, hello to you too, Jesper,” said Inej, sharing his soft laugh.

She leaned into the arm he offered and he kissed her on the cheek, ushering her over the doorstep. Kaz followed, nodding at Jesper.

“Saints, I’ve missed you,” said Jesper, hugging Inej again.

“Oh, I’ve missed you too,”

Nina cleared her throat, glaring teasingly at Jesper. He threw an arm around her shoulders.

“I’ve missed you too, darling, obviously. And I guess I missed you Kaz,”

“Always with the compliments,”

Where’s Wylan?” asked Inej.

“Couldn’t get out of a meeting,” Jesper replied, shaking his head, “He won’t be long. Now, where’s this little Sadja you’ve been withholding from me?”

“Withholding-? She’s only been alive two months - and you were in Novyi Zem for one and a half of them,”

“Withholding,” Jesper repeated

Inej laughed. Kaz gently scooped Sadja out of her sling and into his arms, rocking her for a moment before he passed her to Inej so Jesper could lean over and greet her. He looked like he was about to burst with glee.

“Oh my goodness, you two she’s so beautiful. Aren’t you? Yes you are, yes you are,”

Jesper looked up at Kaz and Inej, grinning.

“She’s wonderful,”

“She most certainly is,” Kaz smiled, pushing the door to behind him before they walked together towards the living room, “It’s good to see you, Jes,”

“You too. And honestly you with a baby is quite possibly both the funniest and cutest thing I have ever seen, so thank you for that,”

Nina snorted. Kaz glared at them both. 

“And how are you?” Jesper had asked Inej, as they sat on the sofa together.

It was about twenty minutes later and Wylan had just got back, all apologies for being late and overjoyed to see them all again. He was now sitting in between Inej and Kiada with Sadja in his arms, smiling.

“Well, I haven’t slept in about two months,” Inej smiled, leaning her head onto Jesper’s shoulder, “But other than that I’m doing pretty well. How are you? - How was Novyi Zem?”

“I’m good, we’re all pretty good at the minute, actually. And Novyi Zem was lovely, good to see my Da, and everyone did a very good job,” he squeezed Aimee’s hand lightly, from where she was perching on the arm of the sofa next to him, “There were a few moments where we thought we’d have to come home early - that was always in the plan as an option, if anyone needed it - but we ended up staying the whole time,”

“How’s Colm?” asked Nina, leaning forwards to pick her coffee up from the table.

The conversation floated on, and Kaz had drifted in and out of paying attention to it as he kept his eyes on Sadja. She started wriggling uncomfortably and Wylan passed her back to Inej, then a moment passed before she started crying. 

“Is she alright?” asked Kaz.

“She’s just hungry,” said Inej, looking at Kaz in a way that meant calm down, she’s a baby, she’s going to cry, you do not need to worry as she stood up and gently rocked Sadja against her chest, whispering to her in Suli, “I’ll take her upstairs,”

At some point, Kaz wasn’t exactly sure how long it had been, it was only him, Nina, and Jesper still sitting in the living room. Focus had switched freely: the trip to Novyi Zem - two weeks with Colm followed by a month and a half through in Weddle and Shriftport, then another two weeks with Colm - Kiada had struggled with the boat, Aimee had struggled on the farm, Kiada has struggled in Weddle; news on the Ravkans and their new little prince and princess, twins about three months older than Sadja; Clemmie Boscht had started renting an apartment in the city and came to the house to share roast dinner with the family once a month; updates on something Kaz had forgotten to pay attention to as he was wondering how long Inej and Sadja had been gone and if he should go upstairs to find them. Now Nina was asking about wedding plans - the original date should have been last month, but it hadn’t been set in stone when Kaz and Inej first went to Ravka so Jesper and Wylan had decided to postpone and visit Jesper’s father instead of him coming out to them. 

“Doesn’t matter,” Jesper was saying, “Nothing will ever make up for the fact that Kaz Brekker got married before I did,”

Nina flopped against the back cushions of the sofa.

“Yeah, it’s a real blow to the ego isn’t it?”

“Aren’t you two just the height of comedy?” said Kaz drily.

“To be fair, Jes,” Nina added, “I think we were all surprised you weren’t the first to get married. I mean how long had you two known each other before you moved in, two months?”

“No, well I really only joke,” said Jesper, glancing briefly at the door and lowering his voice, “Wylan told me ages ago he wasn’t sure he’d ever be able to get married, after everything with his parents he just kinda… lost faith in it,”

Jesper had told Kaz about it at the time. It was years ago, around the time of the Van Eck trial, and Wylan was having an unsurprisingly bad time of it. He said he’d burst into tears and told Jesper that it had been evil of him to trap him in a relationship that would never go anywhere, and that he could leave if he wanted to and Wylan would understand. Apparently Jesper had stared at him for almost a full minute, and then said:

“Wy, you’re seventeen,”

“Well, clearly,” Kaz had said, “You handled that well,”

“I helped him afterwards!” Jepser had cried defensively, “That was just my first thought,”

Now Kaz sat behind his desk at the Slat, flicking through the endless pile of papers laying in wait and watching the hands move on his timepiece. Almost five bells. He wanted to be back by six.

Sadja had woken up not long before three bells, screaming loud enough to bring the entire house down. Kaz fumbled in the dark, searching for his cane, before Inej turned on the gas lights and handed it to him, smiling and shaking her head. They sat next to each other on the side of the mattress as Sadja nursed, and for about half an hour afterwards Kaz was still rocking her slowly whilst Inej lowered the lights and lay back down. Sadja seemed on the verge of settling back to sleep and Kaz stood to return her to the cradle next to the bed, only for her to immediately start wailing again.

“Well I hope you’re not still hungry,” he said softly in Suli, giving her a gente bounce “I think Mama’s asleep,”

She flailed one of her tiny fists into the air and it whacked lightly against Kaz’s chest.

“Not bad form,” he told her, “But you need more strength behind it if you want to do real damage. We’ll work on that when you’re older. What can we do to help you sleep now though, hm?”

Sadja wriggled in his arm and Kaz moved to sit on one of the armchairs so he could set down his cane and support her more comfortably. 

“I don’t have anything new to read to you,” he said, “But I could tell you a story if you’d like,”

There was a pause broken only by Sadja’s impatient cries, before Inej’s soft voice came from the darkness on the other side of the room:

“You know the whole idea of us using one language each with her whilst she's still learning kind of depends on you speaking to her in Kerch, right?”

Kaz looked up.

“Inej? I thought you were asleep,”

“Kaz, if you think anyone could fall asleep through this then I have serious concerns about your hearing. And, again, you’re supposed to speak in Kerch,”

“I’m still not convinced that’s going to work,” he replied, “Isn’t she just going to hear us using both with each other anyway?”

Inej groaned.

“It’s three in the morning, Kaz, can we talk about this later?”

He laughed softly, nodding though he wasn’t sure if she’d see in the dark. He’d known that he needed to go to the Slat - the last word from Anika and Pim had been concerningly vague -  but he could stay here a little while yet, couldn’t he? What harm would it do, just to stay here for a little longer? He sighed.

“You need to go, don’t you?”

He didn’t know how she did that.

“It can wait until tomorrow,”

“You can’t,” said Inej, quietly, “Go on. I’ll get her settled, just don’t be long, okay?”

“Never,”

He really needed to stop watching the clock, or he wouldn’t get anything done and have to bully himself into staying longer. It was a good while past five bells when he left, ignoring the shouts for attention that followed him from the crowd. The Hendriks house was mostly still sleeping, though Wylan was unsurprisingly up and in the kitchen making coffee by the time Kaz arrived at six bells. Inej was awake but she was still upstairs, not long dressed and part way through brushing her hair when Kaz knocked softly on the door. She opened it slowly, pressing a finger to her lips as he slipped inside.

“Sadja’s asleep,”

Kaz stood over the cradle for a moment, watching her. She really was perfect. Inej appeared next to him, her arm slipping around his waist once he’d nodded confirmation. She leaned her head against his shoulder.

“She already looks like you,” she whispered.

Kaz shook his head.

“She’s beautiful. That’s all you,”

Inej shook her head then, her hand finding his and slipping beneath the rim so her fingers brushed his wrist. Kaz’s heart leapt, thinking of holding her on the floor almost a year ago, a knife in her gut and her blood soaking over both of them. He swallowed and she felt him tense, starting to pull away to give him space. His fingers tightened over hers, holding her to him. 

“We’ve not…” she hesitated, “We’ve not talked about a plan for where to live. For what to do next,”

Kaz had been avoiding the conversation, because he didn’t actually know what he was going to say. But it was a year ago when he couldn’t tell her everything he’d thought he should be able to say by now - 

Their happiness, together. In Kerch, in Ravka, they could move to the permafrost in Fjerda for all he cared. He would carve a life for her in the face of a mountain, if that was what she wanted.

- and so much had changed since then. He should be able to tell her that now. And he did.

Inej turned and leaned her face up towards his, glowing in the soft dancing light of dawn leaking through the window, her dark eyes shimmering. She lifted a hand up to cup his cheek, and slowly they leaned into each other. Their foreheads pressed against each other, Kaz’s hand slipped down Inej’s back, and their lips met in the warmth of spring and joy and a family that for so long Kaz had convinced himself he didn’t want, because he never thought he’d be able to find it. 

The entire world was golden.
