2024 Wrap Up

It's still before New Years where I'm at! So let's slide this in!!

Some stats! Words Written: 283031 (give or take) WIPs Worked on: 10 Books read: 3 Beta reads: 10

WIPs Drafting Stage: 8 WIPs Revision Stage: 3

I'm gonna post some snippets from the year under the cut!

January - Finished editing Draft 15 of TBW, and workshopped it with my critique group. In January in specific, it was mostly writing the last chapter. Here's some content from then: Nathaniel and Riela in the hospital after all the shit went down.

For those of you who are newer, TBW is something I've been working on for ages with my co-writer. (If the number of drafts isn't any clue.) But we're 10+ years now. Anticipate seeing more of it as we're probably going to try to do revisions again this coming year.

February - Did some revisions on Heist. Honestly, it was nothing major because I spent that month packing (for a move that never ended up happening -_-) Here's a conversation I was tweaking at the time, having already rewritten the first few chapters of Heist in 2023. (Also this says Draft 3, but it was really more like Draft 2.5. This content is now in Chapter 5.)

Heist is a staple you've all seen me talk about I'm sure! It's set in the same universe as TBW, but with different MCs. I started it in 2022, started Draft 3 in late 2023, and as you'll see, started Draft 4 in late 2024. Still, I'm loving how it's all coming together!

March - Revising stuff in the first 5 chapters of Heist Draft 3. Some content from that time for you: Lelia and Ronan talking!

April - I'd made it through 15 Chapters of Heist Draft 3. However, midway through the month, I had some Life Happen, and stepped away from Heist for Reasons. I'll share some snippets from those works too. Here's a new Em and Vinny conversation that I wrote during that time.

April Part 2 - Due to Grief reasons, I ended up rereading most of CTQ, which is my GriefWIP™, and expanded on one of the scenes for a flashfic contest at that time, now in second person!

April Part 3 - I also ended up working on Aftermath, another Grief WIP. Which did not actually start as a WIP about grief... but I suppose when the premise is surviving after overthrowing an evil dictator, I can see how it went that way.

May - I started working more on Heist again, and got through 22 whole chapters! Some content for the time: the Jam Session!

June - I got Heist up to 34 chapters! Have some theology! It was very hard to find a snippet that was new content compared to the previous draft but also was not a blatant spoiler.

July - I got Heist up to 35 chapters, but then got stuck. Yes, this snippet says it's from Chapter 36 and that's because later I went back and added a chapter (and also had to restructure this whole area of the WIP.) New content: Lelia and Marcella conversation!

July Part 2 - I started working on my Dragon Age fanfic. The premise being that all the origin characters survive and join the party (though not as Grey Wardens.)

August - Heist revisions looked a lot like I didn't know how to number chapters at the time. Chapter 34, Chapter 35, Chapter 36, Chapter 35, Chapter 35, Chapter 36, Chapter 37..... Anyway, this is when I went back and added a chapter that fixed the problem I'd been having. So here, have Lelia and Ronan talking!

August Part 2 - While all that was going on, I also put another 10k into my WardenWIP.

August Part 3 - I also wrote a crossover fic with @rarmaster. This was an "ending" of sorts for two characters from our respective Kingdom Hearts fanfics.

Premise: The Riku Replica survived Chain of Memories by going to another universe. Years later, he and Namine talk about how they made it.

August Part 4 - Lastly, I wrote a thinly veiled Dragon Age fanfic, modeled after the Urn of Sacred Ashes trailer.

September - I got Heist up to 44 chapters and wrote one of my favorite sequences ever!

September Part 2 - I also wrote another 20k of WardenWIP.

October - Finished Draft 3 of Heist! Then I kind of just rested. (As was my right.)

November - I worked on worldbuilding documents, both my encyclopedia and my history doc.

Working on the Magic Encyclopedia was something that's a long-time coming. There's a very in-depth magic system for the world of Tyrysius, and half of drafting up an encyclopedia for how magic works is so that way we can minimize contradictions! I expect to go back to it in 2025 and continue fleshing it out.

November Part 2 - Working on the History document was good for nailing down what has transpired since the cataclysm 1200 years ago, what nations have risen and fallen, what technology has done, and plenty else. I anticipate working on this more in 2025 as well.

November Part 3 - I also spent a lot of time working how Draft 4 of Heist was going to come together because I already had ideas for revisions and the motivation to do them.

No fancy snippet but:

“Shierdi has rejected my last offer for it. So you’re going to steal it. Shierdi isn’t looking for you because you haven’t done anything for me.” “Yeah but you’ve been trying to get my attention for a year.” “She doesn’t know that. She works through mortal staff a lot and has been wrapping me up in red tape. But, one of the benefits of being known as the drunken god is that none of the other gods think you can make up a plan.” “Yeah but there are other gods of alcohol.” “Everyone knows Adelus can’t plan! Even still, Shierdi thinks I’m more of a drunk than he is.”

December - Dove into Heist Draft 4! Have a snippet of a new conversation between Vinny and Em, that recycles dialogue from a scene with Lelia and Em that got cut.

December Part 2 - Also I started writing another crossover scene. The premise of this one is that Xion decides the Riku Replica is her little brother. It was rar's idea.

“Sister?” She giggled. “Yeah.” He blinked and mouthed the word again, as if tasting it on his tongue. His eyes lit up and he smiled. “Sure,” he laughed. “Why not? Why can’t my family get ridiculously bigger?” “That’s the spirit!” she said. “Want to go get ice cream?”

That has not really gone anywhere yet, but I needed to get the initial dialogue out of my head.

Anyway, yeah, that was 2024 was a lot of writing. Here's to a good 2025!

“I’m doing this for the win-win-win situation between the Bunnies, yourself and I, alright? We can all live comfortably without losing nutrition and I can get closer to you.” “To ‘me’?” “Yes.” “Shit.”

SYNOPSIS. If Love was a School Subject, Darren Randel would barely pass it as she has only just fallen in love recently for a sincere rabbit obsessing guy. With a grand plan in clutch, she’ll make the most of her chances to have her feelings returned! Unfortunately, her already tumultuous life ramps up alongside these new feelings.

NOTES. Title refers to song by stayc. Set 10 months before the canon mashle plot. Same universe as my Orter fic lol (I developed this fic first :D) but not necessary to read (hopefully), probably contains canon divergent content and worldbuilding.

WARNINGS. Cringe rom-com, they're kinda ooc (especially Rayne), Darren is basically a Mary Sue, slow-burn romance (like frustrating levels), badly executed love triangle? and second male lead syndrome, VOL 1 is on the lighter side compared to VOL 2

_ _ _

VOL 1. LOVING YOU

Introduction Arc

EP 1. Introducing trouble

EP 2. Rabbits are a terrible excuse

EP 3. Blackmail? I didn't do that to him!

Term Finals Arc

EP 4. Compromises are the best if you do it right

EP 5. Omens of the future

EP 6. Kindness often doesn't reward pleasantly

EP 7. Flunk them. Your grades don't matter to me

Summer Internship Arc

EP 8. Passing does not mean the work is over!

EP 9. The young lady's confession (April 14 release)

EP 10. A guy and a stump (May 14 release)

tbw.

ARCS to be considered

Candidate Exam Arc Interview Arc Dead Rabbit Arc Winter Internship Arc Breaking Point Arc

VOL 2. I'M IN TROUBLE

tbw.

ARCS to be considered

Divine Visionary Induction Arc 2nd Candidate Exam Arc Summer Holiday Arc Intervention Arc Trimagicathlon Arc Preparations Arc Eclipse Arc

_ _ _

We are so screwed. This might be longer than my other fic. Which is scary now that I think about it but this fic covers a lot of original content that is necessary to develop the character narrative I made for this girl unfortunately. So I'm aiming for 2k-3k words per chapter instead so I don't overwhelm people with like 40+ chapters for a single Part. Due to the complete overhaul of the plot, I won't change/update and publish Darren's character profile because it spoils a lot AHAHAHHAH.

The Arc names aren't set in stone. I just dunno how else to call them right now.

i and many others were extremely excited for the requiem of the rose king adaptation, but then as soon as it aired people started saying it was awfully rushed (it is 17 volumes crammed into 24 episodes) and that the animation absolutely stunk. i thought it was a 7seeds anime situation and removed it from my tbw list... you were the first person i've ever seen not only talk positively about it, but love it as much as the manga fans love it. i looked at the reviews and they're surprisingly high too (8 and 9 in the featured reviews)! with a story so strong, ofc it's amazing... i do still STRONGLY recommend reading the manga, but i appreciate you bringing the anime back into my consideration!

Well, to be fair, I haven't read the manga. XD So it's entirely 100% possible the manga is better than the anime. I did learn about the complaints against it, including slams on the animation, the fact it was majorly censored apparently, and claims that the story was rushed. As far as the censorship goes...I can already presume where the censored parts are, but I can't say they bothered me. Quite the reverse, if anything; I've always felt the suggestion of certain things is better and more interesting than the direct act, and they did a good job there. As far as the story being rushed goes...for the most part, I can't even tell where things might have been snipped out, so that says enough right there. I will say the animation DOES show its constraints, however; if there is a flaw I can concur with, it's that they clearly didn't have the biggest animation budget. In the same breath, however, I would say they did a good job WORKING with that budget and making sure to use their animation where it mattered most. So, yeah. Even if the manga is better, I don't think the anime is bad. If you decide to look it up, hopefully you'll agree with me...and if I decide to give the manga a read sometime, maybe we can agree there, too. But I can't say that will be anytime soon. XD

For the WIP meme. You knew I would zero in on this one...

Star Wars - Damerey.docx (This is In Screaming Color)

Of course! :P

First off, if you haven't read what's been posted yet -- it's here on AO3.

I'm not going to lie, the main reason that I stopped working on it, and stepped away from SW/Damerey as a whole, is because the Damerey fandom became an especially toxic mudhole in a particularly toxic fandom. I still love this story, and I have a lot more written than is posted, but

a) I don't write longfic in chronological order, so I can't post what I have without writing the in-between bits that aren't as interesting to me, and

b) I stopped particularly wanting to give Damerey fandom nice things because it stopped being a place of people who deserved nice things.

The mass bullying of my bb @dracosollicitus in particular, who BUILT that ship on her BACK p much, was my kind of last straw, and at the same time, TLJ/ROS didn't follow through on the goodness of TFA, and also WandaVision came out, so my brain was just like, "I GUESS WE'RE A MARVEL NOW INSTEAD."

But, like I said, I DO still love this story and man, I have a lot of it already written and it doesn't totally suck, so I do intend to SOMEDAY finish it. But I literally mean "someday." Like, it may well be for The Force Awakens' 30th Anniversary Rerelease With The Poe/Rey Hug Scene, or something. It definitely isn't on my immediate TBW pile. But it IS still in the WIP folder and not the WIP Amnesty pile.

Here's a clip of the unposted-yet stuff:

“You,” Poe says, setting his tray down beside Rey’s, “Need to have a talk with your droid.” Rey looks up from her bowl of porridge. She’s covered it with so much sugar that it looks like Hoth in a bowl. “I don’t have a droid, Poe.” “Artoo,” Poe says. He takes the sugar shaker from her scavenger cache and tips some into his caf. “It’s corrupting Beebee-Ate!” Rey actually stops chewing at that, and she wipes her mouth first on the back of her wrist, and belatedly, a napkin. She’s learning. “Is Beebee-Ate alright? I didn’t even think about bugs when Artoo came back online, but do you know, I don’t think it’s been defragged since before the Clone Wars. I’ll take a look through its databank and give it a good wipe as soon as I’ve finished eating. Beebee, too, if you like?” “No, not—really, the Clone Wars?” Poe shakes his head. “Not corrupt like programming. Corrupt like—like—” Poe leans down towards his tray and starts to maim his toast with butter. “It is exposing Beebee-Ate to concepts that Beebee is too young for.” “Beebee-Ate’s much newer than Artoo.” Rey still sounds baffled. “If anything, wouldn’t Beebee-Ate expose Artoo to new material and concepts? Especially after so long in hibernation?” Poe stabs the joganfruit jam. It oozes satisfyingly. “I mean that Beebee-Ate is a child and Artoo is being inappropriate with it.” Rey makes a very strange sound. When Poe looks over, she is very kindly hiding her laughter in her knuckles, but her eyes are bright. “Poe… I don’t think droids work that way. Beebee-Ate’s got a cute little personality, but it’s not actually—” “I don’t want Beebee-Ate to swear and know about—merging programming,” Poe huffs. Of course Rey doesn’t understand this; she’s couldn’t possibly feel the same kind of compunction to protect vulnerable little star-bright things from the shameful, dirty realities of being an old, battered veteran. Like R2D2. (The kriffing Clone Wars, and it’s never been defragged? No wonder it went offline so long.) “Oh,” says Rey, sitting back in her hard plastic chair. “So that explains why Beebee-Ate rolled straight for Threepio this morning.” “What?” Poe half-stands to crane his neck and look around the mess. “I thought Beebee was in the hangar!” “No, they’re right over there.” Rey points to the far corner of the mess. Poe can just barely hear the words “parts assembly” and “motherboard,” and then BB-8 gives a surprised [beep!] and rolls back a half-measure. Its dome swivels in a circle that looks embarrassed, or maybe like the droid’s concept of ‘self’ has changed, which is entirely likely. Poe raises his eyebrows at it when Beebee’s optical finds him. He mouths, “You’re in trouble, buddy.”

8TB SSD vs Other Storage: Which Is Right for You?

The 8TB SSD U.2 offers high capacity storage at an affordable price

The cost of business software and hardware is nearly always and significantly greater than the cost of consumer software and hardware. After their prime, however, they are often available at prices that are more affordable to the typical customer. These prices may even be lower. This is the scenario with Intel’s corporate NVMe 8TB SSD, the DC P4510 (SSDPE2KX080T851), which can now be purchased at the price of $399.99; yet, its initial retail price was over $5,000. The original retail price of the product was over $5,000. If you buy it via the Server Part Deals website, you will get a discount of ten dollars.

During those times, the Intel DC P4510 was a fairly big deal and it continues to be so now. The Intel 512 Gb 64-layer 3D TLC NAND is used in the 2.5-inch 15mm drive, which offers capacities ranging from 1 terabyte all the way up to 8 terabytes and has a height of 15 millimetres. Because PCIe 5.0 solid-state drives are capable of pushing data transfer speeds higher than 14 gigabytes per second, the P4510 has very little possibility of succeeding in any contests held in the current context.

By using the PCIe 3.1 x4 interface, the P4510 is able to reach sequential read and write rates of up to 3,200 MB/s and 3,000 MB/s, respectively. These speeds may be achieved simultaneously. The performance while dealing with random data is likewise pretty satisfactory, with 620,000 IOPS reads and 139,500 IOPS writes correspondingly.

Because it only costs 5 cents per GB ($399.99), which is the entire price, the P4510 is a fantastic deal for an 8TB drive. The P4510 and the Samsung 870 QVO 8TB, which is now the product on the market with the lowest price for an 8TB SATA SSD, both have identical price tags. The P4510 is currently the market leader in terms of lowest cost. The Samsung 870 QVO, on the other hand, can only achieve SATA speeds, while the performance of the P4510 is on par with that of PCIe 3.1.

The P4510 has one and only one significant negative, and that is the fact that it uses the U.2 interface, which is a port that is seldom utilised on contemporary mainstream motherboards. This is the only major drawback that the P4510 has. A number of years ago, there was a lot of enthusiasm about the U.2 port, and numerous high-end desktop and server motherboards were outfitted with U.2 ports to accommodate this growing demand. It is quite unfortunate that the U.2 interface was never able to achieve widespread adoption in the consumer sector.

It is not a huge letdown when you realise that adapters that change U.2 drives into M.2 drives are available on Amazon for a price of $28.88. You can also acquire adapters that convert U.2 to PCIe, and the prices for them start at $35.61. These are useful if you would prefer utilise the PCIe interface. Even after taking into consideration the cost of the additional peripherals that are needed to get it up and running, acquiring the P4510 is still an excellent deal if you want PCIe 3.1 speeds for a secondary storage drive. This is true even after taking into account the price of those additional devices.

Drives like the P4510 use extremely minimal power in comparison to other models. The SSD requires 16W of power when it is being used at its intended capacity. Although the power consumption when the drive is actively working might be up to twice as much as that of a standard 8TB hard drive, the power consumption when the drive is not actively working is the same as that of an 8TB drive.

The P4510 has dependability on par with that of a business, as was to be expected. The solid-state drive (SSD) has a rating of one DWPD (drive write per day) and comes with a warranty from Intel that is valid for five years. Depending on whether you refer to it in terms of terabytes or petabytes, it is comparable to either 13,880 TBW (terabytes written) or 13.88 PBW (petabytes written). The P4510 is a solid-state drive (SSD) that is meant for ordinary consumer usage and is engineered to live for many years, most likely through all five of your subsequent system upgrades. It is constructed for longevity and is designed for average consumer use.

Jaebum x Reader [featuring GOT7 x BTS] → angel!au / demon!au Warning: violence, language, & mentions/descriptions of death

→ Masterlist (including teasers) → A/N: chapters are updated every Friday

After breakfast, you find Mark, curious to know what his lessons were going to entail.

You were surprised when all he did was smile and tell you you’d start another day, for now Jaebum was asking for you.

You found him out on the balcony, away from the chatter of the others, opting for the conversation of the ocean instead. His eyes were shut, wind blowing through his dark hair. Hands gripping the railing, you peer over the edge to see the sand below.

“Scared of heights?”

You snort, “Out of everything I’ve been through, heights are the least of my worries.”

Eyes still closed, he smiles, “I used to be afraid of them. When I was younger. Anything remotely too far off the ground and I’d run for it. You could imagine how fun that made amusement parks.”

Imagining a small Jaebum, clinging to his mother, you chuckle, “You must’ve been adorable.”

“My mother would’ve probably agreed.”

You fall silent next to each other, content at just watching the water before you. Somehow, Nora finds her way out, wrapping herself around his legs before deciding you were more comfortable. With her small body tucked between your feet, you sigh and tilt your head up to the sky.

“It seems as if Father made the weather quite agreeable today.”

“I asked him to.”

His eyes open as you turn to look at him, “What do you mean?”

He shrugs, “I asked him for a bit of nice weather. Today, for the first time in probably forever, you get a break.”

You grow excited, “A break? Like, no training? No history lessons? No dealing with the maknae brats that keep asking me to let them throw knives at me?”

Grinning, he turns towards the others, shaking his head in amusement, “They asked to throw knives at you?”

You nod, “They’re curious to see if I can turn my abilities on and off. To see how in control I am.”

“You discovered you can do that this morning. How much control do they think you’ve already mastered?”

“Jaebum. You said a break?”

Lips still upturned, he shoves his hands in his pockets, “Yes. A break. Whatever you want to do, wherever you want to do it. Father’s only condition is that I stay by your side just in case.”

You jump slightly in place, ignoring the quiet meow from Nora, “Anything? Anything at all? Like, you won’t complain or pout or whine?”

“Yah, I’m not a child. But yes, anything. So what do you want to go do?”

Gripping his hand, you lead him back inside, “I want to go shopping.”

Shopping with Jaebum was oddly...nice.

He’d compliment you on what you tried on but told you if there was something he thought didn’t look good. He held all your bags but didn’t resist when you told him you could handle a few on your own.

He didn’t whine. He didn’t complain that he was tired.

He’d just smile and say ‘okay’ when you asked to go into shop after shop.

“What about this one,” you ask, twirling in a lavender sun dress.

Looking up from his phone, he takes a moment before, “It looks good. I’ve never seen you in a dress before today. You bought like..four.”

Playfully sticking your tongue out, you turn back to the mirror, “You insisted. Which, by the way, you didn’t have to. I make my own money and can afford my own clothes.”

Attention back to a text from Yugyeom, he chuckles, “I know. But it’s my treat so just let it be. Save your money so you can travel and get out of here once you’ve saved the world.”

“You seem to have a lot of faith in my world saving abilities.”

“I’m an angel Y/N, I’m made of faith.”

“Well Mr. Made of Faith, let’s pay for these and then you can treat me to food. I’m starving.”

Heading towards the nearest register, you casually glance to a bright colored shirt that catches you eye. When you look up, your blood freezes.

In the corner of the store, staring at the shoes up on the wall, was Jung Hoseok.

It was unmistakable and you suddenly couldn’t move. You take a step forward and then falter back.

His face changes, shifts into another and it’s no longer Hoseok you’re looking at. The boy now has black hair and bright eyes, turning to smile at an employee asking if he needed help. You clutch the side of your head as you grow kind of dizzy, and then Jaebum is near, his scent strong around you.

“What’s wrong,” he whispers, lips close to your ear.

“I thought...I thought I saw someone. It’s nothing. I’m okay, let’s go.”

His brows are furrowed, he’s obviously worried, but you guide him away and pay for your things. You’re a bit disorientated, not even noticing Jaebum slipping his hand in yours to guide you out of the store. He takes your bags, leading you to a bench in the open shopping center, under the shade of a tree.

“Stay here,” he says, clutching at your arm, “let me buy you something to drink.”

You nod and shut your eyes as he dashes away, head starting to clear. You turn back towards the store, wondering what in the world you saw, when Jaebum returns with a smoothie in hand.

Quirking on eyebrow, you smirk, “Usually people get water.”

Kneeling in front of you, he sticks a straw in the cup, “You mentioned you wanted a smoothie. Sometimes better than water.”

Taking a sip and smiling you agree and he grins back before he asks, “What happened in there?”

You find that you really don’t want to tell him. Your day together had barely begun and you didn’t want to ruin it. An odd feeling blooms in your chest as his hand lingers on your knee, thumb rubbing over the skin to calm you. You meet his gaze, lip trapped between your teeth. Seeing your own worry, he snickers, “What’s with the look? Come on, you can tell me anything.”

“I don’t want to.” “And why not?”

Sighing, you run your hand through your hair, “It’s gonna ruin our day and I still wanna eat and go shopping.”

“We can still eat and go shopping Y/N. But you looked freaked out in there. If there’s something wrong, something dangerous, you need to tell me so I can help protect you.”

Inhaling slowly, you rest you hand atop his, “I thought...I thought I saw Hoseok in the store. Against the wall by the shoes. But then I looked again and...and it wasn’t him. Like his face glimmered and changed within seconds. And then I got kind of dizzy.”

He comes to sit next to you, hands still pressed together, “Y/N that’s...that’s an ability of a Bone Witch. Rose could do it too. That’s how she saw the demons. She sees past their glamour, she can see their true faces.”

“So who I saw...” “...must’ve been Hoseok.”

You stiffen, “Oh no. Oh no Jaebum, if it was Hoseok...”

He grasps your shoulders gently, “Yah. It’ll be alright. He didn’t see you. So we’re safe.”

“But if he could sense me...”

He shakes his head, “They don’t make a move without Lucifer saying so. If he didn’t notice you, he’s playing human today. You’re alright. Let’s...let’s just go eat and then finish the day.”

You eye him curiously, “You seem so calm about this.”

“He poses no threat. Not now. They don’t do anything unless they’re complete. He was alone, right?”

“Yes. He’s the only one I saw.” “Then it’s just him. He can’t carry out an order without Namjoon’s direct permission and he wouldn’t send just one if they were planning on attacking you. Just try to relax, somehow, and let’s enjoy the rest of the day. We can worry about the world ending tomorrow.”

“I never knew Righteous Im Jaebum would leave the world burning until tomorrow.”

He shakes his head, amused, “Let’s just say today’s a break for us both.”

The next few hours pass just as the ones before.

You pick a place to eat, somewhere cozy overlooking the shopping plaza. You play a game of twenty questions, which turn into more, over delicious food. It amazes you how comfortable you become, talking with Jaebum was simple and enjoyable.

There was never an awkward moment, just pauses in conversation to eat or laugh loudly.

You spend most of the afternoon seated across him, sharing desserts and stories. He tells you of his life as a human, his dreams of becoming a music producer or maybe owning his own label. You regale him with your adventures as a detective, your life as demons slowly faded in the background. There’s never a dull moment and you wonder if saving the world could mean more time with him, like this.

After a bit more walking around, you notice the sun starting to fall behind the clouds, night about to descend. It seemed like such a short day even though they had left the house and the others hours ago, still munching on their breakfast.

Your stomach sounds, small grumbles in succession, and Jaebum’s gaze darts to your abdomen before he throws his head back and laughs.

“How are you hungry?”

You pout, “Lunch was awhile ago! And I have a quick metabolism. Don’t judge me, feed me Mr. Im.”

Linking your arm through his, you send him your best aegyo. Still grinning, he pulls you forwards, his eye catching his favorite restaurant just a few doors away.

“Alright, alright detective. Let’s head over there. Mark took me once and I can never get enough, I think you’ll like it.”

You follow his lead, excited to see where he was taking you. “Jaebum?”

He hums in question, focused on weaving through the small crowds scattered about. “When you’re with me, do you think about Rose?”

He stops and your arm almost drops from his. Turning to you, he looks a little pale, “What?”

Your eyes search his, “When we’re together...do you imagine Rose instead? I know that you said you didn’t know what romantic love was, that you didn’t know what you felt for my sister. But we have the same face and I just..suddenly wondered if you were imagining her in my place. Which is fine! I would understand. But I was simply...curious.”

He stares at you, kind of like you grew an extra head, and you’re wondering if you should take it back, play it off like a joke and just drag him to whatever restaurant you were heading to. But you don’t, just waiting for his answer there in the middle of the plaza.

“No.” “...no?”

He shakes his head, resuming his walk towards the brightly lit entrance of the burger place ahead. “No. You’re different than Rose. The same face, yes. And at first, I saw your sister more than I saw you. Which wasn’t fair to you. I may have not known my feelings for her but it wouldn’t have been right to use you to figure them out. If there was something between us, it’s gone now, because she is. And you’re here. Working your hardest to save mankind when all you wanted was a normal life. Today, I saw you. And just you.”

He pushes through the door and you’re a little stunned, dragged behind him as he asks for a table. It’s when he’s looking at the menu that he finally notices you’ve been silent.

“You’re not broken, are you?”

“No. Just surprised. You’re turning out to be much more than I imagined Im Jaebum.”

He’s smiling again, the millionth one today, and your heart does it again.

Flutters.

It had been fluttering for months now, ever since your move into his home. You had gotten to see a different side of him, or maybe it was just who he was and you never really cared to notice. But now, sitting across from him, you look.

You look at his dark hair falling over his eyes as he searches for the burger he always gets when he comes. You look at his fingers as they scratch the nape of his neck and rest on the table.

His broad shoulders. The upturn of his lips. The silver hoops in his ears. The moles above his eye.

You look and you can’t seem to avert your eyes.

You pick up the menu and search for something to eat, cheeks heating up. He doesn’t notice your small inner meltdown, sipping on the water that had come a few moments after they sat down.

You’re a bit glad for his oblivious nature, focusing on the food instead of the handsome angel just an arm’s length away.

Once you’ve ordered and calmed your racing heart, you notice familiar faces among the patrons. Just a few tables away sits Shan, arm linked through Jinyoung’s as she bends her head towards his in laughter. Across from them sits Fal and her husband, his own arm draped around her shoulders as his eyes wrinkle in amusement. You’re about to point them out to Jaebum when someone starts to shimmer, like Hoseok, and your stomach drops.

It’s Namjoon.

It’s Namjoon sitting with Fal, arm over her as he sits across from Shan and Jinyoung. Fear starts coursing through you and you can feel your power before you see it. Your glow builds slowly, casting golden rays across the table. Jaebum’s eyes widen and he grabs your hands, squeezing tightly.

“Yah. What’s wrong, what’s happening?”

You feel the panic bubbling in your chest but you try and inhale, breathing in and out while you hold on tightly to Jaebum, the glow starting to dim. “It’s Namjoon. He’s here.”

His grow serious, jaw clenching, “Where? I won’t look but tell me where.”

Your eyes dart over his shoulder and you’re slightly relieved to find they haven’t noticed you yet. “He’s sitting with Fal. And Shan and Jinyoung. Jaebum he’s glamoured. I think...I think he’s been pretending to be Fal’s husband. But they’re been married for awhile, how did I not notice? How could I be this stupid? I was at their wedding, how did I not put two and two together?!”

“Remember what I told you. Your powers were dormant. Which meant Namjoon must’ve used Fal to gain access to her circle of friends and co-workers at the precinct.”

“What do we do? If we go over, won’t he know?”

He shakes his head, “Probably not. Namjoon will recognize me but if he’s been able to play nice in front of Jinyoung, we’ll be fine. He doesn’t know you can see through the glamour yet. Just stay calm.”

You’re trying to, still breathing in and out as you approach their table. Fal recognizes you first, smile brightening as she waves, “Ohmygod Y/N! Hi! Fancy seeing you here!”

You smile and wave back, hand in Jaebum’s for extra support, “Hi! We came to eat and we saw you all here.”

Shan turns, chin coming to rest on Jinyoung’s shoulder, “You guys should join us and you can introduce this Mr. Handsome you’re holding onto.”

Bowing, he smiles, “Hello, I’m Im Jaebum. It’s nice to meet you all.”

Recognizing the voice, Jinyoung turns, “Hyung? Noona? What are you guys doing here? Where have you been all day?”

You shrug, “Shopping. Eating.”

“More shopping,” Jaebum says, chuckling.

You catch Namjoon’s eye, trying not to vomit, “Hi Joon, it’s been awhile.”

He grins, “Too long, it’s good to see you again. And nice to meet you Jaebum.”

The table of four becomes a table of six, both you and Jaebum sitting in between Fal and Jinyoung. Food is scattered across the round tabletop and somehow the conversation is flowing and fun, laughter loud with one another.

But you kept your eye on Namjoon, watching him carefully when he wasn’t looking. Jinyoung now knew, revealed to him during a quick bathroom break with Jaebum, and tried his best to keep his attention on Shan instead of the demon close by.

Everything seemed fine. Until it wasn’t.

“How cute. A triple date.”

You see Namjoon’s jaw clench but it’s Shan that speaks first. “Jimin? What are you doing here?”

Jimin grins, pink hair like an ironic halo over his head, “Why dear Shan I’m here to say hello. I haven’t seen you in awhile and well, I missed you.”

“I guarantee she doesn’t miss you,” Jinyoung spits, fists held tightly under the table.

“Ah. This must be the boyfriend. I’ve heard about you. Park Jinyoung. What an angel you must be, saving Shan when I didn’t show up to our little date.”

You can feel the tension growing but one look from Jaebum stops you from making any rash decisions. You can see Namjoon from the corner of your eye, cradling a worried looking Fal but glaring daggers at his fellow demon.

“Jinyoungie is right Jimin. I’m glad you didn’t show up that night. I’m very happy now so please, leave us alone and don’t ruin our night.”

Anger flashes in Jimin’s eyes, irritation apparent on his handsome face. “Oh. You’re happy are you Shan? Apparently you’re the kind of bitch that sleeps around, huh? It seems it didn’t take much time for you to throw yourself at someone else all those months ago when you were dying to ----”

He doesn’t get to finish, Jinyoung’s fist connecting with his jaw. Jimin flies backwards and into some tables, knocking down the customers sitting. Jinyoung’s eyes are burning like Hell itself, chest heaving up and down as Shan gasps and tries to hold onto his wrist. “Yah Jinyoung-ah! Stop!”

He doesn’t, throwing himself forward in time to land another punch, this time to Jimin’s gut. Falling forward, he groans and looks up, blood staining his lips.

“Watch it you son of a bitch angel,” he growls, low enough for only Jinyoung to hear.

Namjoon wants to interfere, Father will be pissed if it continues, but his wife clings to him and stops any movement. Jinyoung continues to fight, Jimin now up and throwing his own punches. You don’t know what to do but it’s only a few more seconds before Jaebum is up and in between them both.

“Yah, what the fuck do you think you’re doing,” he whisper-yells at Jinyoung, trying to hold him down.

“He can disrespect me hyung but not Shan. Not Shan!”

“I get it okay? I get it! But calm down, Father won’t be pleased to hear about this. Think of the others. Think of Y/N. Think of Shan, for Christ’s sake, and stop.”

He does, the moment his eyes meet hers, fear evident in her face and posture. He relaxes, shoving past a weakened Jimin to cradle his girlfriend and whisper his apologizes into her hair. Jimin moves forward but it’s Namjoon that finally calls out, “I don’t know who you are but I think that’s enough. I think you should leave before anymore damage is done.”

Suddenly seeing the glamour, Jimin stops upon seeing Namjoon’s unhappy face. With a scoff, he wipes at his bloody mouth and exits, pushing past people that had crowded around. Jaebum turns, bowing and offering apologizes.

“You know how much this shit is gonna cost to replace?”

Jaebum bashfully smiles, “I’ll pay for it hyung. You know I’m good for it.”

Park Chanyeol, co-owner of The Eve, shakes his head in mock amusement, “I know you are Jaebum-ah. But let’s worry about that later. Your friends alright?”

He nods, “We’ll all be fine. Let us at least help clean up.”

Chanyeol winks, leaning forward, “Leave it be. What good is being an angel when you can’t use your abilities to clean up your own restaurant. I’ll just throw a little something in everyone’s drink so their memory gets wiped. Just get home safe. I could feel some weird demon vibes all night.”

The younger nods, “Stay safe hyung.”

Chanyeol walks forward, laying a hand on a now calm Jinyoung, “Don’t worry about anything guys. Get some safe, I’ll take care of things here.”

“I’m really sorry hyung.” “Oh stop Jinyoung-ah. It’s fine. You protected your girl. Kai would’ve beat him to a pulp so he’s lucky. Just get going.”

They do as they’re asked and soon enough they’re out the door, atmosphere alot more melancholy than before.

Shan and Jinyoung head out first, the latter saying he was staying the night and not to worry about him. You wave them off and offer to get Fal some ice cream, her face still a little pale with what just happened.

Once it’s the two males left, Namjoon drops his glamour, “Your boy can definitely throw a punch. But Jimin doesn’t like being humiliated so he’ll be back.”

Jaebum chuckles, “Maybe you should keep him in line better. And while we’re having this nice little chat, let me ask you this: your wife has no idea does she?”

“Don’t bring her into this.”

“When it comes down to it Namjoon, she won’t stay untouched. I can see it. The way you look at her. The way you protected her tonight. The way you protected your little bundle of joy. You went and got her pregnant.”

“I told you. Keep. Her. Out of this.”

Jaebum tsks quietly, “Breaking the rules. I’m sure Lucifer is thrilled. Just remember this: she won’t stay safe. And neither will that baby. And once the battle begins, you’ll have a choice to make. How loyal are you and to whom?”

“I swear if you don’t...”

“Can we go home,” Fal whispers, clinging to her husband.

“Of course. Let’s go. Y/N, Jaebum, get home safe.”

You keep up appearances and nods, “You guys too.”

With them gone, you turn to Jaebum, “What in the world just happened?”

He sighs, head tilting to the sky, “Something bad. But let’s go home too. Like I said, we can leave the world burning until tomorrow.”

A/N: IT HAPPENED @kpopfanfictrash! The Jinyoung/Jimin showdown lol. Though I’m sure, like Namjoon said, he’ll be back. I hope you all enjoyed the fun cameo of a certain unicorn boy. Also I’m dead tired so if my editing missed any typos, I apologize. I’ll fix when I’m more awake lol. Until next week. xoxo

Whether it be two young lovers trying to spice up their love life to respected dominatrices in the adult entertainment industry, you catered to everyone’s needs and were always willing to go above and beyond to secure a sale. So when a dashing you man asks you to help sample some toys for his future lovers, you simply had to assist him further.

Compulsion (M) - While the rest of the guys are busy sleeping the night away, you, Hyunjin and Chan stay up to play... (feat. Hyunjin)

Lee Know/Lee Minho

But when one of the vampires gets a look at you through your open window, he simply had to taste.

Making Movies (M) [NC] - Felix suggested that the two of you go to the local drive in theater for a movie, but he had no intention of watching any movies with you. He wanted to make movies instead.

Kim Seungmin

Coming soon!

I.N./Yang Jeongin

Knight in Paradise (M) - Your husband is an atrocious ruler and an abysmal king, committing horrors across the land in the name of power and greed. Calling for a complex and intimate coup d’etat, you decide that the best way to prevent from continuing his lineage is to continue it with someone else more deserving of the throne.

The Sites of Seth

― Distribution of the Land. Lands of Seth

Geb, the Earth god, arbitrated between the confrontations of the Two Contenders (Horus and Seth) and decided to grant the Upper Egypt to Seth because it was the land where the god was born; and the Lower Egypt to Horus, for it was the land where his father had drowned (Lichteim1975, p.52). Hereinafter, Geb changed his mind and decided to bestow the entire land to the son of Osiris. The Horus myth of Edfu (Egberts 1997) tells that Seth complained and challenged his nephew to be finally defeated. Geb took pity on Seth and his allies, and sent them to the four cardinal points becoming, thus, the patriarchs of the lands surrounding Egypt: Kushites to the south, Asiatics to the north, Libyans to the west and Bedouins to the east (Egberts1997, p.50). This could be an account for the strong association between Seth and the foreign countries.

― Cult of Seth in Upper Egypt

Seth is given the title of “Lord of the Nile Valley Land” in the Pyramid Texts (Allen 2005, PT 155). There were cities and temples devoted to Seth until, apparently, the XXV Dynasty when the cult of Seth became extinct (Redford 2002, p.264), at least in the Nile Valley. Due to the frequent instability during the Intermediate Periods, the areas involved in these cities do not always correspond with the geographical boundaries, arranged by the Ptolemies and called nomes. Hence, I have arranged the cities considering the course of the Nile with disregard of the Ptolemaic organization.

― Seth Lord of Ombos

There are two cities linked with “Seth Lord of Ombos”. One is the modern Kôm Ombo, 42 km south of Assuan, on the eastern bank of the Nile. The other is about 4 km on the northwest of the modern Tukh, in the area of Ballas called Ombos. The name of the former in Egyptian hieroglyphs is nbwty and the latter is nebwt (Daressy 1917, p.80). Ombos/Nebwt, was an important bastion for Seth and his followers during the Predynastic period around 3300 b.C. (Wilkinson 1999, p.37). Petrie (1896) found in this site the remains of an old city and a temple devoted to Seth. There are three steles from this temple exhibited in the Manchester Museum. One of them is the Anhotep Stele, where Seth appears as ‘Lord of Nebwty’ referring Kom Ombo:

According to Brugsch (1879, p.318) Seth was worshiped in Kom Ombo under the shape of the crocodile Sobek, deem to be the son of Seth (te Velde 1967, p.150). As we will see, crocodiles and hippopotamus were usually considered manifestations of the god Seth. Another piece from Naqada temple of Seth is located at Petrie Museum, London. Seth is featured standing in front of an offering table with an inscription reading: ‘Seth of Nebwt’, alluding Seth of Ombos (web 7). In the main deposit of this temple, Petrie found pieces out of alabaster with inscriptions describing the labor of enlargement made by Tutmosis III, who is mentioned as: “The good god Menkheperra, beloved of Seth of Nebwt”. In a lintel of the Temple, Seth is referred as ‘Seth of Nebwty, Lord of the Southern Land” (Petrie 1896, Pl LXXIX). In a round topped stele, now at the Glyptotek museum, a bull headed winged Seth is called “Bull of Nebwty”. The bull used to be an icon of Seth: in the Leyden Papyrus, “the son of Nwt” (which is a common epithet of Seth) is called “Bull of the night, Bull of Bull”(Griffith 1974, p.80).

― Seth Lord of Wnw and Nashenw

These two cities are sited about 50 km north of Denderah, close to the modern Kasr es-Sayed. Seth is referred as the lord of these two cities, in an inscription engraved in the inner side of the exterior wall at Medinet Habu (Gardiner 1947, p.53).

― Seth Lord of Tjebw

Tjebw (Tbw) was the capital city of the X Ptolemaic nome called wADt. Ancient Greeks called it Anteopolis (the city of the giant Anteus) and was settled on the east bank of the Nile. In latter times, the name of the city changed into Djw-Ka (Dw-qa), ‘the high mountain’ (Barguet 1964, p.8), Qau el-Kebir in Arabic. The original deity of this nome was Antewy, portrayed as a double falcon on a boat and assimilated to Seth, as we can see in the stele of Nakht (XVIII Dynasty):

According to Teeter (2003,p.42): “This dual identity is a reflection of the belief that a god could have more than one nature, and that he or she could have the attributes of several deities in order to express the extender power of the god”. This approach is important because all throughout the northern part of Upper Egypt we find the double falcon as the emblem of many cities that could be ancient centers of Seth cult. Over time, the cult of Seth was put aside and replaced by the double falcon, representing the reconciliation between both Horus and Seth (te Velde 1967, p.68). An inscription was found at Qâu showing the priest title sHtp nTrwy, that is to say, ‘Reconciling the two gods’ (Gardiner 1947, p. 53). According to latter versions of the myth, the battle between Horus and Typhon (Seth for the Romans) took place on the river bank close to this city, which was eventually destroyed completely. Today is El-Etmaniyah (Gardiner 1947, p.49). There was a cult to the Sethian animal, the hippopotamus, at Tjebu from the Predynastic period (Lang 1980, p. 361; Gardiner 1947, p.135) shown by a scene of the mayor of Tjebu worshiping a hippopotamus surrounded by papyrus. The inscription here is badly damaged but it could be read as: “Seth, the victorious, the hippopotamus, the Lord of the Tjebw in the nome of wADt” (Brunton 1927, Pl. 32). In the12292 Stele, now at the Oriental Institute in Chicago Illinois, a man called Pa-nehemi stands before Seth as a hippopotamus on pedestal (web 8)

List of Places:

- Seth Lord of Ombos ✔️ - Seth Lord of Wnw and Nashenw ✔️ - Seth Lord of Tjebw ✔️ - Seth of Shashetep - Seth of Per Anty - Seth lord of Saka - Seth Lord of Sepermeru - Seth of Oxyrhynchus - Seth lord of Sw

- Seth lord of Avaris: Seth lord of hwt wart - Seth of Medjem - Seth lord of the Oasis - The temple of Seth at Kharga - Seth in Dakhla Oasis - Seth in Siva Oasis

Others: - Seth Lord of the Foreign Lands - Seth Lord of the Sky

Question:

To clone the existing HDD, I connected as an external drive w/ USB cable. win10 Toshiba recognizes as 'as2105 USB mass storage device'. how to clone?

Answer: I used the “Apricorn Notebook Drive, Upgrade Kit”. It is available on Amazon under: “Apricorn SATA Wire Notebook Hard Drive Upgrade Kit with USB 3.0 Connection ASW-USB3-25 (Grey)”. Even though it says a notebook upgrade kit, it works for a PC as well. I used it to upgrade my laptop and my desktop. I like it because it is c… see more

I recently purchased this drive for my Asus laptop. This laptop uses Win 10 and had a 650GB drive

However, only 97GB was being used so I knew it would fit on the 250 GB of the Samsung SSD.

"as2105' is the model # of your USB cable/adapter, and that is 100% correct. Once you download and install the Samsung "Data Migration" software from Samsung's web site (do a Google search), it will recognize the Samsung SSD connected to your as2015 adapter. Then just click the "clone" button and wait for 2 or 3 hours,… see more

Ken:

5.0 out of 5 stars Think you need a new computer because yours is slow?

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2018

Capacity: 250 GBStyle: SSDVerified Purchase

It used to be that adding RAM was the easiest and cheapest way to speed up a slow computer. That never addressed the real bottleneck of a computer, which is the hard drive. I had a customer complaining that they probably needed a new computer even though theirs was only a little over a year old. Knowing that they had a standard platter-style hard drive, I suggested this. The boy is glad that I did! Saved her hundreds of dollars on a new computer and likely thousands on lost time waiting for her computer to 'compute' as her entire business relies on her computer to make her money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick and hassle-free migration from HDD to Samsung EVO 860 SSD on aging desktop

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2018

Capacity: 500GBStyle: SSDVerified Purchase

I have a nearly 9-year-old CyberPower desktop with an Asus P6T Motherboard and wanted to eliminate a potential point of failure to eke out a little more longevity. And if I got some enhanced performance, all the better. Turns out it was a very good move.

Of course, the order came within the two day Prime window which one expects from Amazon. I also got the Corsair Dual SSD Mounting Bracket

that was an order option for another 6 bucks. I reviewed it separately but it's a must-have if you are installing into a 5 1/2 inch bay like I was. The SSD comes with an Installation Guide, which I didn't need other than to follow a web site link provided in order to install the Samsung Data Migration Software and Samsung Magician Software. Since I was installing the SSD to replace my C System drive, I needed to clone that drive onto the SSD. And the Data Migrations software works perfectly. After formatting the SSD (NTSF), I cloned 232GB to the SSD in just 31 min with a SATA 3.0 to SATA 3.0 connection. It would have been much faster has my PC supported SATA 6.0. Then removed the HDD and installed the SSD into the mounting bracket, connected the SSD to the SATA data cable and power cable (I used the same port as the C drive HDD was connected to), powered the PC up and it booted hassle-free, with no issues. It was indeed a perfect clone of the previous drive. There were no issues that required going into the BIOS screen. This will only be an issue if you do not use the same exact SATA data connection that was attached to your former C system drive.

I'm amazed how much faster the drive is. The Magician software not only carves out a bit of the drive for overhead, but it also has a cool performance test you can run on all installed drives. So I ran it on the SSD and a 6 TB WD HDD dedicated to pictures and the Random IOPS results were: for the SSD 8,789 read and 19,775 write vs for the HDD 178 read and 244 write. While that may sound unbelievable, it isn't. You actually experience this speed differential while working on the PC.

This was definitely $150 well spent!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cumple lo que promete.

Tenía instalado en mi PC un ssd Kingston V300 de 240GB. Todo iba bien pero sentía que podía ir mejor, utilicé una aplicación para medir las velocidades de lectura y escritura y me encontré con velocidades de lectura de 480 y escritura de apenas 120. Pensé que quizás algo andaba mal con la configuración pero después de revisarlo, todo estaba bien.

Investigando me di cuenta que ese modelo de Kingston es bastante lento, busqué en amazon y me encontré con el ssd que muchos especialistas lo consideran el mejor para usuarios en general, el nuevo samsung 860 evo de 500GB y al mismo o menor precio que otros de la misma capacidad. Lo compré, llegó en la mitad del tiempo prometido, lo instalé con la aplicación para clonar de samsung mucho mas amigable que otras y el resultado es extraordinario. Tasas de lectura y escritura de 550 y 520 respectivamente y más espacio para nuevos programas.

Muy recomendable samsung y más comprándo a través de amazon.
