#10, But that one kiss when they don't know if they'll make it out alive.

Draco Malfoy and Stefan Snape

Death eaters stromed the castle along with their allies, dementor's and ogres alike. The two young deatheaters were caught right in the middle of it, unsure if they should help their friends or their master.

A stray spell shot their way, the blonde grabbed the brunnete's hand pulling him behind a flipped over table. Stefan was torn, the decision became to severe, too dire. He had to do what his father commanded right? He had to fight for hogwarts. But what if Draco wanted to fight alongside his own parents? The two would be split up, fighting on opposite sides.

"Hah... Can't believe this" Draco sighed

"What?" Stefan asked

"Even through all this... Your hair still looks perfect" Draco grinned causing the younger on to let out a quiet laugh.

If they weren't in this situation right now, Stefan would surely kiss him. What if Stefan were to die? He wouldn't be able to kiss his love anymore... He couldn't even think about the possibility of Draco died.

Similarly, Draco couldn't stop looking at Stefan's lips. There was a split producing a small bead of blood. When did his darling get hurt? If this war keeps on going on, one of them would definitely get hurt...

Maybe they should hide in the dorms? But they'd be labeled as cowards... What if they go downstairs into the dungeons with the other Slytherins, they could remain neutral!

But aren't the dungeon's locked by a protection spell against death eaters?They both had the mark so they wouldn't be able to get in if they tried.

Draco looked at Stefan as he thought these thoughts. His chest rose and sunk quickly from all the running or perhaps his anxiety was kicking in... Draco couldn't pinpoint it in that moment.

Stefan turned and looked at the blonde who in the moment seemed to be spaced out.

"Draco after all this we'll adopt right?" Stefan wondered. He wanted to distract himself from the current situation but he felt it bleeding through infecting his mind.

"Yes, we'll adopt... I don't care her blood I don't care his gender. Just the future with you" Draco admitted.

"I want a son, but I want him to have your hair... Or a daughter with mine" Stefan Quietly stated

Draco laughed at Stefan's comment before the two fell into silence again. Aside from the spells and the rumbles, Soot and Smoke clouding the room.

"If I die–" the brunette started again

"Don't say that!" Draco nearly shouted, unknowingly blowing the two's cover.

"I'm sorry..." The brunnete smiled weakly. The thoughts of death were intruding his mind heavily. He was suddenly comforted by his touch.

Draco put his hand on his face gently cupping his cheek moving it to his lips

Draco's soot covered thumb brushed over Stefan's lips causing a small sting on the cut that damaged his oh so perfect lips

He then pulled the boy close, pressing his lips gently on the boys. The gentleness didn't last long, the two were grabbing at each othe, anything to pull the other closer. Stefan had two fist fulls of Draco's shirt within his grasp, Draco ran his fingers through the long locks of Stefan's hair, removing the small debris.

Stefan was first to pull away because he started sobbing, at first he had gentle tears that wouldn't stain his face, but those quickly turned into harsher saltier tears. What if that was their last kiss? What if he'd never see Draco again. He choked on his own sobb, barley letting it though

Draco wiped the tears with his thumb

"It's going to be Oka—"

Suddenly an explosion knocked them both back

What ASoAF characters would and have done a better job than the police at protecting the capital:

People who would do good;

1. Stannis Baratheon would do an amazing job, he’s stopped multiple sieges including Drangonstone and Castle Black

2. Cersei and Tyrion Lannister grouping these together because they both were essential to protecting King’s Landing during the Battle of the Blackwater

3. Tywin basically same reasons as his kids

4. Howland Reed; Greywater has never been under siege so his basically an expert

5. Jon Snow no wildlings crossed the wall and he arrested many so great job

6. Bloodraven based on ‘Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’

7. Quentyn Martell broke into Dany’s house so just reverse your thinking

People who would do bad;

1. Sandor Clegane really wish I could say he would do good but when King’s Landing was under attack he abandoned his post to chill with Sansa so he would probably spend the riot playing Among Us with AOC

2. Edmure Tully again bad track record

3. Bran no hate because he’s just a kid but Theon did break in super easily

4. Dunk and Egg both messed up big time at the Wedding Tourney so can’t say they would do better at the capital

5. King’s guard at the tower of joy

6. Masters of Meereen, literally Dany let herself into the city do better

I've been seeing discussions about whether or not marvel should retire the punisher.

With police officers wearing the skull on there uniforms and some of the people who stromed the capitol were wearing the skull I can understand why the character might disappear for a bit.

The Skull inspires alot of people to do bad things. To be overly aggressive, and to be scary but in a way were you could still say you're the good guy.

Not to sound like a gate keeper, but I don't think the people who are ruining the punisher even read his comics. And even though it might be more of a punishment for comic fans I do think the codename punisher should be shelved for a bit.

Now main universe Frank Castle doesn't necessarily need to go away though maybe he go under a new name for a bit with a different costume with weapons that are not guns. And maybe in ten years the Frank can where the skull again.

Cosmic ghost rider will probably have little changes maybe he'll just lose the skull on his chest.

Number of fics: 178

Fic I spent the most time on: The Dragon Prince and the Winter Swan (YoI, Victor/Yuuri) must have taken the most amount of actual writing time, since it’s my longest, though I think it was only 7-8 months of writing time total.

Fic I spent the least time on: Disregarding prompt ficlets, has to be Get Real, Get Right (Fuckin Right) (Rivenyonce Cuoknowles/Music RPF) since I jammed it out as a treat in less than an hour before the Yuletide archive opened.

Longest fic: The Dragon Prince and the Winter Swan, 121,228

Shortest fic: sew wings to your pigeon toes (Royal Tenenbaums, Richie/Margot), 200 exactly because I’m old school and “double drabble” means something

Most hits: Nobody Raise Your Voices (Sherlock, John/Sherlock), 26,345 (2012 was a good time for that pairing, which hadn’t even been renamed Johnlock yet)

Most kudos: Vox (The Office, Jim/Pam) is apparently up to 1188 and the top of the pairing tag (wtf! I think everyone has discovered the show through Netflix and phone sex is a popular trope)

Most comment threads: Dragon Prince and Winter Swan again, at 148 (the only chaptered WIP I’ve written in a big fandom)

Most bookmarks: Vox, 323 (!!)

Total word count: 1,059,225 words (minus about 18k for a co-written work)

Favourite fic I wrote: Oh, I always hate this question because I’ve been writing fic for literally 20 years now (first story went up when I was 18) and they’re all so different and I like different ones for different reasons. Today I will say And all around us people slept alone with their dreams (It’s a Wonderful Life) because I link it out in RL situations sometimes since it has more universal appeal than most fanfic. (I realized the movie lends itself really well to writing various what-if scenarios for George’s life, like a 5 things.)

Fic you want to rewrite/expand on:

I swear I really, really want to write a Dragon Prince sequel with what happened to Otabek and Yuri (and a look in on Victor and Yuuri too), I just know I will never have the time.

I would also like to rewrite Waves High As Mountains (Hockey RPF/HP fusion, Connor McDavid/Dylan Strome endgame) because the ending is a little rough, and I genuinely do mean to rewrite Where the memory lingers (Baseball RPF) because it doesn’t fully line up with the rest of the ensuing series.

Share a bit of a WIP or a story idea you’re planning on:

yeahhhh I have a quarantine fic going on, shh

Javi washes up the dishes while Yuzu finishes his phone call, for lack of anything better to do. They haven’t even been under quarantine for twenty-four hours yet and he already feels the restless itch of inactivity. Staying occupied inside these four walls is going to be a challenge for someone used to physical exertion, even if it’s just a long walk or kicking a ball around, and it doesn’t help that there’s two of them.

It really doesn’t help when he looks up from the sink to see Yuzu moving into a series of stretches, one arm over his head and his legs spread wide. Yuzu’s facing away from him, towards the windows that overlook downtown Toronto, a series of snow-covered rooftops with the harbor just a faint shining smear on the horizon, and it lets Javi look for longer than he should, lingering. As usual, Yuzu’s clothes are simple and practical and a little baggy, not clinging to him like his warmup gear, but apparently Javi’s brain has been working overtime in the background since last fall because he can’t stop following the lines of Yuzu’s body as he moves through his stretches — side bends, wide squats, toe touches — and settles into jogging in place. It makes his hair bounce, dark and ruffled after his night of sleep but still glossy, and Javi can’t help watching the movement of his shoulders, his gaze like a caress.

He’s still got a dish and towel in his hand when Yuzu reaches down and grabs the hem of his shirt, and they fall to the counter with a clatter when Yuzu starts stripping it over his head.

Tagging @someitems @itstartledme @ghostcat3000 and anyone else who’s up for it.

Strome Castle is amazing. A total ruin in a spectacular setting in the middle of nowhere, with views over to the fabled Isle of Skye.

422pm Ardaneaskan to Lochcarron

[This walk took place on 5th August 2019.]

It’s raining by the time I pack up my lunch and leave Strome Castle. I walk back to the T junction, and turn right towards Lochcarron. It’s not wet enough to pull on my waterproofs. Put my head down. March through the drizzle.
