Find it all here.
Eris's hands were clasped behind his back as he stood rigidly next to the female who had now become shackled to him. His bride had only repeated the words of binding in a dull, dry tone and shifted her face slightly so he’d kiss her cheek rather than her lips in front of everyone. Already, she had more nerve than he anticipated. He had only smiled.
The two now stood in their finest before his parents, the festivities of the wedding raging on behind them. It would continue to rage on when the bride and groom took their leave. It all meant nothing to either of them.
Eris stood in his suit, tailor-made, and fitted in forest green. Iris’s bridal gown of white covered every inch of her, painted against every delicate curve. Eris had only stolen glances, not looking for too long. The hatred in her eyes had become grating.
He spared Iris another side glance, aware his father was watching him, and gave his parents a tight-lipped smile. “Thank you, Father. You spared no costs on this wedding.”
“If only the bride and groom seemed to enjoy it as well.”
Eris offered his father another tight smile. “It all happened so fast. We’re both a bit whiplashed but I’m sure Iris loved it as much as I did,” he said and finally fully looked at his bride. “Didn’t you...wife?”
Iris automatically bowed her head towards the Lord and Lady of Autumn and turned her gaze to her now-husband. “Of course...husband. Forgive me, I am a little tired. It’s been a long day.”
Eris and Iris.
Iris and Eris.
He only looked at her with boredom.
She looked at him wanting to desperately snap his neck.
“Well, run along then. Enjoy your wedding night. Don’t embarrass me, son. Make sure to show your bride a good time.” Beron mused with a laugh and the Lady of Autumn, Lady Enya, gave Eris a pleading look as he nodded to his parents.
“Welcome to the family, Iris.” Lady Enya said softly.
Iris bowed her head in thanks and turned once more to look at her now-husband who gave her a small smirk and Eris couldn’t take his eyes off her. Couldn’t help the slight glee at how hard she was trying not to sneer back at him.
“Come along wife, it’s time for the fun part of being married,” Eris said with a coy smile and held out his arm.
But Iris only stared at it. She stared at his arm and wondered what would happen if she just...snapped it off his body. Or stabbed him. Or at least attempted either option. Her father had nearly ripped her head off when he found out about the small knife hidden beneath her dress. The sting of his smack had barely settled down before she walked into her wedding. Nonetheless...her fingernails could be sharp enough to maim.
When a moment passed and Iris still hadn’t taken his arm, Eris stepped closer to her.
“Take my fucken arm before I drag you out of here.” he hissed and Iris blinked then tilted her head towards him with a shy smile, the ever-blushing bride as she approached him and slipped her arm through his. Never mind that it was trembling slightly.
“Try dragging me out,” she said softly. “I’ll only end up dragging your bleeding body back across this hall.”
It was Eris’s turn to blink then his lips twisted into a smirk. “Is that what your eyes have been trying to tell me? We can fulfill your dirty little fantasy once we’re alone.”
Iris stood before her husband and schooled her expression so that anyone looking at her would see her gaze reverent rather than murderous. As if they didn’t know how reverent murdering someone you hated could be.
“Oh, does that mean once we’re alone, I can run a blade several times through your torso?” she said sweetly. “Because that’s exactly what I was fantasizing about.”
Eris chuckled, his eyes drinking in the sight of her. The challenge in her voice. The sternness in her hooded eyes. “Big words for a shaking gazelle in a room full of wolves,” he said softly and leaned in to kiss her temple, ever the besotted groom. “Don’t forget, you married the worst of them. I’d watch that pretty mouth if I were you.”
Iris let him pull away and let him see the shy smile on her face even as rage flashed in her eyes. Her grip tightened on his arm and she leaned into him again. “Or what?”
A chuckle slipped out before he could help himself. Bold. She was bolder than he expected. “You’ll find out once we’re behind a closed door, wife.”
He felt her body tense but paid her no mind as he nodded his acknowledgment to the people congratulating them, as he did practically drag her out of the room. The sooner they got out of there, the sooner this night would be over and he could somehow think of how to handle this female that had been shoved at him.
They walked in silence down the hall, nodding to any lingering guests before turning a corner and the path before them was empty.
“Did you lose your tongue, little gazelle? No more big words now that you don’t have an audience?” he said quietly, as the two walked down the halls of The Forest House towards their wing. A whole wing where he was to now live with his little lady. “Not going to try and run?”
She finally yanked her arm free from his and openly glared. “And go where?” she spat. “As if you wouldn’t drag me back here and humiliate me for trying.”
Eris only hummed his response and watched as she huffed then continued walking and he took the time to openly observe her in the silence. In a tense, nearly suffocating silence.
His wife.
Wife.
He mouthed the word silently to himself then frowned thinking of how, for the second time, he was forced into a union he had little say in. At least this one hadn’t fucked anyone else as far as he was aware.
It wouldn’t have mattered if she did at this point. She was now his and he was hers. There was no escape. There would be nobody else. And Eris wasn't exactly sure how to feel about this.
How was he supposed to feel about a female he knew nothing about? How, exactly was he supposed to feel when he had only found out a month before the wedding that she was to be his?
Her father, a wealthy merchant — a criminal as Eris had understood, wanted to build better ties with the High Lord of Autumn to no doubt get away with things he shouldn’t. Never mind that the male was as big of a piece of shit as his father. He had simply offered his daughter to Beron as a bride for Eris like she meant nothing to him. Wrapped her up for him like a delicious dessert to be eaten.
And delicious she was. Eris let his eyes roam her body as she stalked in front of him toward the room. She didn't even know which way they were supposed to be going and yet, the confidence in her walk of rage didn’t hold her back. Her chestnut brown hair coiled up in braids, the tiara sitting atop her head, exposing her long lovely neck.
The train of her dress trailed behind her and he only quirked his brow at the design, not as frilly as he had expected. Then again, he knew nothing about her. No one had given him the chance.
Eris stepped on the tip of the dress’s train and she startled, a small gasp escaping her lips. Turning sharply, she glared at him.
“Get off my dress.” she seethed but he only gave her a small smile.
“We’re here.” he said and watched as she froze again, color seeming to drain from her face. He pursed his lips and wondered just how badly she thought this was going to go. “Are you thinking about running now?”
This seemed to unfreeze her body and Iris blinked at him. “Just open the door.” she muttered quietly. But he could hear her heart beating. He could almost taste her fear and his lips curled in disdain.
Eris waved his hand for the door to open and with a mocking bow, he gestured for Iris to step inside. She gave him a withering look then slowly stepped into the room and Eris followed her in.
The two stood in the doorway of the suite taking in the grandness, the room a swirl of all the autumn colors in one, coming together to give it a look of a magical place of rest. Never mind that the two people required to live here wanted to do anything but be in this space. The suite was huge, decorated with a seating area in one corner, a small dining space in another, a bedroom set that included a large closet across the wall, a vanity, and —
Iris’s eyes fell on the bed that was big enough to fit six people and her fists clenched. She only gave him a look of loathing and wrapped her arms around herself, wanting to refuse even acknowledging the space.
But then Eris closed the door and locked it, and the sense of panic she had been holding back all day filled the room. He heard her swallow and as he took one step closer, Iris whirled around.
“Don’t touch me.” she snarled.
Eris paused then took a deep breath, his hands once again clasped behind his back, a sour taste in his mouth. Naturally, she was to assume the worst about him. Naturally, he might as well oblige her.
“You’re my wife now. I thought the whole point of the wedding night was for us to be touching as much as possible,” he said quietly, his signature smirk gracing his face as he moved closer to her. “Or did they not teach you that?”
Iris flushed and shot him a glare, pointing viciously. “Don’t you take that tone with me or I’ll make you regret it.”
Eris’s smile was feral at the challenge. “Claws are coming out now, are they, wife?” he said quietly and took another step closer. “I wonder if you have claws like that in bed.” He tilted his head, observing her. “Why is your dress so modest? Didn’t they tell you I like to see some skin?”
She took another step back, hating the predatory look in his gaze. “You won’t be near my dress for too long so don’t concern yourself with it.”
“Are you sure about that? I do need to fulfill my husbandly duties and take it off of you.” he said again and took the final step for them to share a breath. “Make you feel all the wonderful things a husband should make his wife feel.”
“Stop talking to me that way.” she hissed, shoving him back.
He chuckled and grabbed her arm firmly, pulling her into his chest. “I will talk to you however I see fit, especially when it makes you flush so beautifully.”
And indeed, Eris hadn’t gotten the chance to stare at her so openly until this moment and it was unfortunate how beautiful she actually was. Very unfortunate, he thought, especially when his own heart started beating wildly in his chest and he felt hers sing to the same erratic rhythm.
The world seemed to still as his fingers gripped her arm. His amber eyes found her hazel ones and both pairs of eyes widened slightly. His gaze intensified as he soaked in her features and how a few loose strands of hair had slipped to frame her face so wonderfully. Iris’s own thoughts had paused at how close his lips were to hers and the way he stood so elegantly and effortlessly towering over her.
It was truly unfortunate. Because Eris’s eyes had flickered down to her lips and back, the corner of his lips lifting. How much would she hate him if were to kiss her? Could he have one taste?
Iris flushed deeply as Eris leaned in even closer and she did the only thing she could think of to get away from him.
Eris let out a groan of pain as she kneed him in the balls and crossed to the other side of the room.
“What the fuck was that for?” he hissed, doubled over, his glare meeting the one Iris shot at him.
“I told you not to touch me. Married or not.” she hissed, taking a step back. “And based on everything I’ve heard about you, I definitely don’t want you touching me.”
Eris ran his tongue over his teeth as he straightened and took another step towards her.
A chair flew towards him then and he barely ducked in time.
“What the ever-loving fuck —”
“Stay on your side of the room.”
“I’m not going to —”
“One more step and the dagger will be next.”
Eris stared at her in confusion, at the dagger that looked so much like —
He looked down at his belt where he knew his dagger to be sheathed...except it was not.
“You were too busy trying to intimidate me to notice,” she said with a snort, and gone was the trembling gazelle that he’d seen all day, his dagger twirling her hand. “Surprise.”
Eris blinked then huffed out a noise of disbelief. “Well, wife. This is an interesting turn of events...How did you manage to steal it?”
“Most males are stupid and get easily distracted by beautiful females. If I let you believe I was weak, you automatically assumed you could dominate me and lose the upper hand,” she said simply and shrugged. “Your mistake.”
He narrowed his eyes. “From the things your father told me about you, handling weapons wasn’t on the list.”
“My father is a lying piece of shit and doesn’t know an actual thing about me.”
“He told me your passion was piano and you prefer to stay indoors because you were sensitive to the sun,” Eris stated flatly and Iris rolled her eyes.
“I do love piano but the only thing I’m sensitive to are the bruises he gifts me that people would notice if he let me out as often as I’d like.”
Eris froze. A distant roaring filled his ears as he stared at Iris. He stared and stared and when she narrowed her eyes at him, he clenched his teeth and took a breath.
“Your father beats you?” he asked quietly.
Iris shrugged and it was a shrug that he knew well. A shrug he had mastered to deflect Beron’s marks on his own body. A shrug he had mirrored from his own mother.
“My father seemed giddy at the idea that you’d be beating me too,” Iris began and sunk the dagger into the table with a loud thud, before meeting his gaze again. “But if you think that gives you permission to lay a hand on me, I will break every single one of your fingers and carve your heart out of your body. I would die trying.”
Eris stared at her. Trying to think of a response. Trying to think of all the things he’d heard about her before this moment.
���My daughter is delicate.” her father had told him. “She’s also foolish and needs guidance with a heavy hand. Don’t be afraid to put her in her place.”
There was nothing delicate about the fiery rage he saw in the female in front of him. Nothing but sharp glares and determination. Her stance alone told him she would be nothing of what he had expected.
His mother’s bruised skin flashed in his mind and Eris swallowed then met Iris’s gaze.
“I would never harm you,” he said firmly and she tilted her head, quirking a brow.
“Your reputation says otherwise.”
“My reputation is catered to a specific audience.”
“Your reputation is the reason I am willing to kill you and face death myself rather than let you turn me into the broken doll my father tried to make me.”
Eris pursed his lips at that and slipped a hand in his pocket, the other coming to brush back his hair. “It appears wife, that you and I aren’t what we seem.”
Iris crossed her arms. “So it seems, husband.”
“We wasted time not getting to know each other a month ago.” Eris scoffed with an eye roll and Iris froze. “Your father insisted you were too nervous and shy.”
“What do you mean a month?” she asked breathlessly, her hands fisting at her sides.
Eris’s blink marked his confusion. “A month. Our engagement was announced a month ago.”
Iris blinked then blinked again and Eris watched as a cascade of emotions flashed across her face.
“A week.” she gasped out. “I was told a week ago.”
Eris’s eyes narrowed and he took in her shaking hands. “A week?” he asked quietly.
Iris only stared at him and he felt his chest tighten when she started taking deep breaths. Eris opened his mouth to say something — he felt compelled to say anything — but she held up a hand.
“I will only say this once,” Iris spoke, her voice surprisingly steady. “We may be sharing a bed but we will not...go further than that.”
Eris frowned, his own hands fisted at his sides. “Alright.”
She blinked in return. “Alright?”
His expression immediately turned sour at that. “I think the expectations for tonight have been made very clear. What more do you want from me?”
“Nothing. I don’t want anything from you.” Iris replied, all steadiness was gone from her voice as her face fell. “I wish I had nothing to do with you.”
And with that statement, she darted into their shared bathroom and slammed it shut.
Eris remained rooted to his place and simply stared after her, at the closed door she now hid behind, his thoughts a thousand miles a minute.
He thought about their names and the silly way they matched.
He thought about the similar father figure they seemed to have and the history they seemed to share.
He thought about the small thrill he had felt when he had been within kissing range.
Eris's frown deepened at the sniffle he heard from behind the door and wondered...just how much hell would they be in for now.

Taylor Swift: The Lyric Thief- Evermore Edition.
Do y'all know about this?
Swift's lyric "How's one to know/ I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bone" ("Ivy" 2020).
Great, interesting lyric from Swift's own mind, right? WRONG.
Originally, it came from a poem called "Compassion" written by Miller Williams in 1997.
Here is the poem:
Have compassion for everyone you meet, even if they don’t want it. What seems conceit, bad manners, or cynicism is always a sign of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen. You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone. (Williams, 1997)
It's later used as an album title "Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone" that Miller William's daughter, Lucinda Williams, published in 2014.
She also used the line, that her father ORGINALLY wrote, in a song tribute to him called "Compassion" on that same 2014 album.
Can we please stop pretending Swift is a genius? When, in fact, all of her most "intelligent" and "powerful" lyrics are lines outright taken from other works in literary, and musical, canon.
She's just a derivative fraud who wants all of her fans to think she's the one coming up with all these ideas.
She stole the line from a woman who used it as a tribute to her dying Father- the original author- who is now passed.
Not only did Swift rip the line out of a tribute album written to the original writer- but she also put the line in a dumb song that romanticizes cheating. She writes, "dare to sit a watch what we'll become/ and drink my husband's wine" ("Ivy" 2020). Clearly, the whole song is about a woman who is cheating on her husband.
The original intention of the line itself is about having compassion for other people, while taking care to have humility and resist the allure of cynicism. It's a poem about caring for your fellow man- and resisting despair in life. Arguably, it is also a poem about mental health issues and respecting those who may struggle. Swift twists the line to describe meeting a clandestine hookup and cheating on her husband.
Not only did she yank the line right out of someone else’s work, with no credit given to the original intention of the line or the original author- but she also made it about such a selfish, sick, thing to do- cheating on a spouse.
The original intention of the line was so kind and empathetic. She ruined it with her endorsement of cavalier attitudes towards moral corruption :(

5, 15, and 25 for the ask game 🩷🩷🩷
ask game !! // @jackietaylorsversion
5. what made you start your blog?
my first blog, i was like 13 and suuuper obsessed with descendants lmao. i found some gifsets which led me to tumblr, and i thought it was soooo cool. i made a few friends! and found a space to like, really express myself and yell into the void that i never had before. so i never left.
for this blog in particular, it was primarily focused around the six musical back in like 2019? and then i just made it an amalgamation of everything i love instead of jumping from blog to blog.
15. what do you think of when you hear the word “home”?
the people who make it home. they've managed to put up with me for an ungodly amount of time, and i can be quite a handful. but they never make me feel like one. they validate and encourage me to chase my dreams and share my ideas. i know if i ever need anything i can reach out to them.
25. fave season and why?
autumn!! i love the temperature, it's cooler and good for sweaters which account for like 90% of my wardrobe. i also love the way the trees change colors, and it has some of my favorite memories. from babysitting the kiddos and going out downtown, to hanging out with salem and having our first date. autumn is a time of endings, but just as many beginnings. it's nice to watch it all begin again.

Are you reading any fics currently?
Thanks for the ask anon!
I have pretty bad brain-fog a lot at the moment which is making it difficult to concentrate on text unless the stars align.
But there's one fic that's almost complete that I'm *really* enjoying:
There's something so inexplicably cosy about the story of a life lived with a pain that's old and tucked away, with the imminent prospect of finally processing it and moving on. I have already gone back and reread what's been posted so far more than once. I love the characterisations, I love the atmosphere, I love the relationship between Paul and Ringo. I love the clever wordplay in the summary.
If @scurator sticks the landing (which I wouldn't doubt) then this is definitely going on my comfort reread list.

"it's been a pretty great day." -for gracie
Gracie wasn't exactly sure that "great day" was how she would classify today, a single brow raised as she looked at Negan. "Just a quick question. Did you plan on your day ending with you covered in, what I can only hope is walker guts? Or was that just like a fluke thing?" She asked. It was an honest question, though she wasn't sure she was ready to hear @fxntasmagoria's answer. "Why was it a great day?" Now she was just curious more than anything.

Have a bit of Dream and his Pasithea in the fishbowl, from chapter 2 of through streets and houses of gods you roam!
Has time become meaningless in this limbo? Or does it matter more than it ever has? The lover comes down sometimes. The younger Burgess called him friend as though Dream and Pasithea might have some opinion of a man who loved another man. Or, more sensibly, he was probably concerned about the guards. But still, the way their daemons stayed so close made it all so very obvious. And Dream told himself not to care, but Pasithea's jealousy of such contact is his as well, will he or nill he. And so Dream calls things as they are: the lover, Paul, he comes down sometimes. His daemon is a deer, hooves clicking on the stone as she follows him. Pasithea looks at her and thinks how easy it would be, even in a smaller cat shape, to leap up and sink sharp teeth into its delicate neck. As easy as it would be for Dream to destroy the human's mind, were he free. Is this your penance, mortal? they both think, the question echoing through their minds in the places where they join and the places where they do not. It is tempting, sometimes, to ask, but they will not give even that much, and as the years pass, being cut off from the Dreaming and the closeness of the amber obsidian sap their strength anyway. After June 7, 1989, it becomes ever harder to so much as blink. As if that last burst of wishing to be out, now, drained away some last vestige of energy, and without it they are even more trapped. It's infuriating. There's nothing to be done about it.

"Every part of me made of stone suddenly became covered in you. Like ivy, wrapping its way around me whether I liked it or not. It was something I had never thought would be mine or something I deserved and yet somehow, this is happening. This is real." - Spirit Meets the Bones by @lucienarcheron
