Blackout - Chapter 28, Beloved
AN: Sorry for the delay! Work ran away with me. Anyway: exciting things happen. (★‿★)

Chapter 28: Beloved
The campfire had been extinguished, logs frozen over with ice so thick there was no way they could relight them. Satyr was gone—deep hoof-marks gouged into the snow suggested she had fled in a panic. But...why had she fled? And where was everyone else? At this distance, the caravan looked as cold and empty as they’d left it; the tents nowhere to be seen. Victoria turned to catch Scythe’s gaze, questioning and concerned. Behind the dark fabric covering his face, his red eyes gleamed eerily in the dim moonlight, narrowing as he thought. She heard him breathe a soft note of displeasure as she rested her hands upon the hilts of her blades. Together, they stepped further away from the Prism, tension prickling at them both. They found Theresa and Nergüi hidden amongst some of the rubble to the left of the Prism’s entrance. Theresa was unconscious, back against the Prism's wall. Nergüi sat, half-slumped, in front of her, a long gash across her chest. A glowing amulet sat in her hand powering a protective bubble around them that was fading by the second. Victoria felt the Crawler stretch, growing alert.

Hi!! Thank you for the tag, beloved Sheep!
Now, for my hear me out cake, one person on it would DEFINITELY be Mary Queen of Scots! She and Queen Victoria were the first two historical figures I was drawn to so a hear me out cake wouldn't be the same without them.
I'm also putting our beloved Charles II, Catherine of Braganza and Nell Gwynne in the cake as well. Why not? I love them so much.
And Rochester and Monmouth as well. Now just crazy Stuart men.
You all obviously know a hear me out cake wouldn't be a hear me out cake without my dear (controversial) James II. The man is now fully integrated into my brain and my soul, haha.
Stupid man with his stupid face and stupid wig and unhinged sexual energy. Alongside those damn legs.
They're beautiful. He's beautiful.
I can't live without him.
Then his wives, Anne Hyde and darling Maria. And Louisa Maria.
I love them.
And then umm, Mary II and William III (Sheep won't want me to steal William but I will anyways) and Anne and George.
Alongside Shrewsbury!
So there you have it. A very crowded hear me out cake.
Tagging @acrossthewavesoftime, @vintagedolce @culpepers-wife and @lavenderrosiefan.
And anyone else who wants to join. :⁠-⁠)
Calling history nerds 🚨🚨🚨
Which historical figure(s) would you put on your hear me put cake?
I would put Thaddeus Kosciuszko and Ulysses S Grant on ofc :) (They can also be someone just for goofiness)
hear me out cake example:
Tumblr media
Tag people!!! @allysah @tommy-288 @tompoose @maip--macrothorax @rosemeriwether @pranklinfierce @chaotic-history and everyone else :)

Simulated drawbridge entrance.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's absolutely fit for royalty, isn't it?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Isn't it stunning?

Beautiful sitting/dining room.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The home office could also be a library. It has a beautiful fireplace and a loft. And, look at the coffered ceiling.
Tumblr media
It has a great room with a fireplace.

Lovely kitchen off the great room. You could really put a dining table in there.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Such an opulent mezzanine.

Has locked cabinets and a tasting table.

This home is done right- it's a very well-designed build.

Incandescent || Chapter one.
Tumblr media
Pairing: Harry Potter x Fem! Reader
Summary: Y/N receives a very strange letter.
Word count: 2k
Warnings: slight angst, Hagrid being his lovely self
Series masterlist || Main masterlist
The letter came unannounced. 
On her 11th birthday, Y/N was awakened by the sound of tapping against the window. Her eyelids fluttered against the pristine, white pillow case (it still smelled like detergent from the night before) and she blinked against the warm sunlight. The sight greeting her woke her up instantly. A majestic barn owl was blinking at her, hooting in the air, its wings flapping as if to get her attention. A letter on a string was attached to its left, slender leg. Y/N rubbed her eyes, not really believing what she was seeing. Impatient, the owl, once again, tapped the window with its beak. 
“Alright, alright, I’m coming!” 
Y/N hurled the duvet off her body, a million needles piercing her bare shoulders now that the cold wind swamped her up. She opened the window and the owl settled itself on her bedpost, sticking its leg to her. “Is this for me?” Y/N asked, suddenly aware that an owl was in her room. In response, the owl blinked at her and flapped its wings impatiently. “Alright, don’t make too much noise! My parents are still asleep and I don’t want to get into trouble. Today is my birthday, you see. And-” her voice died in her throat when she finally read what was written on the letter.
A scarlet seal was gleaming against the first rays of sunshine and a string of cursive letters were gazing back at her in emerald ink. 
Miss Y/I L/N
The bright bedroom on the second floor
16, Victoria Street,
Rochester
Kent
In a flash her eyes were wide like saucers and she raised her head to look into the owl’s. “Who’s this from? You know, don’t you?” 
The owl hooted before starting to pick at its feathers out of boredom. Y/N turned the letter around, and she read outloud what was written on the other side.”Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Magic? But there’s no such thing as magic, is there?” Just as she said it, a boom was heard all around the house, the door from her bedroom shaking in its hinges. 
Turning on her heels, still gripping the letter, she raced out of the room and down the stairs, passing the family photos hung on the walls, all the way to the front door. Nothing could have prepared her for the sight that greeted her. An eleven feet, bearded man was struggling to go through the front, cherrywood door. “Hello there!”
“Hi”, replied Y/N meekly, turning to look if her parents were awakened by the commotion. 
With a few more grunts, the man managed to enter the hallway, his back hunched and the door crooked. “There we go. Sorry abou’ tha’. Quite a small  door, isn’ it?”.  
Y/N blinked up at him, his tall figure blocking the sunlight from entering through the door window. She would have said that the door was quite the right size, big enough for her, and surely big enough for her father who was the tallest man she had ever met up until that moment, but her voice was stuck somewhere in her throat. 
A hoot travelled down the stairs and the barn owl flew down, coming to a rest on the bearded man’s shoulder. Chuckling, his eyes wrinkled and he peered down at Y/N. “Ah, yeh musta received the letter already! Great news, eh?”
Y/N glanced down at the wrinkled letter in her sweaty hands, before she gazed up at the stranger. “Is it you who sent it?”
The man’s smile dropped suddenly, his eyebrows hiding in his bushy hair. “Me? Merlin’s beard, no! I’m on’y gamekeeper at Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall sends the letters under the supervision o’ professor Dumbledore, one o’ the greatest wizards o’ all time. But your aunt and uncle have told yeh all ‘bout tha’, haven’ they?”
Y/N opened her mouth in confusion, but the sound of steps coming down the stairs stopped any word from coming out of it. A very dishevelled, night coat wearing mother and a barely awake, squinting against the sunlight streaming through the windows, father stopped at the bottom of the stairs. “Sweetheart, why aren’t you in bed? It’s still very early-” 
“Good mornin’!” greeted the stranger in a thick, but cheery voice.
For a split second, Y/N thought that her mother recognized the stranger in their hallway, but as fast as the sparkle of familiarity came in her eyes, it disappeared. She turned to look at her father, who still seemed to be asleep. 
“Good morning. Uh, I’m sorry, who are you?” asked her father in a gruff, morning voice.
“Oh, where are me manners? Me name’s Rubeus Hagrid, gamekeeper at Hogwarts. Came here ter talk ter your niece, o’ course. The time has come, if yeh get wha’ I mean” winked Hagrid joyfully. 
Y/N’s eyebrows furrowed, turning to look at her mother. “What is he talking about?”
“Yer a witch, Y/N.”
Upon hearing this string of words, Y/N stilled, only turning her gaze onto the bushy haired man. He was grinning, and she would have smiled back if it weren’t for the shock overtaking her body, freezing it. The room was quiet, beside the owl hooting calmly on Hagrid’s shoulders. “I’m a what?”
“A witch. And a bloody good one at that. Yer the L-”
“No! She doesn’t need to know yet. She’s too young,” interrupted her mother.
A gasp escaped Y/N’s lips. “You knew?!”
Her mother’s eyes softened, and she took a step towards her daughter. “We suspected it. You were too different from the other kids in the neighbourhood.”
“It became clear when you made it rain in the kitchen,” her father added, now wide awake.
Y/N remembered the incident. Vividly. She remembered feeling confused and angry, and then droplets of water hit her forehead and hair. Her parents blamed it on faulty piping, but she didn’t dismiss it that easily. Not when more accidents like that one continued to occur. 
“But, there’s no such thing as magic, is there?” she said in a quiet voice, her mind still trying to make sense of it all.
“O’ course it does! Watch this!” replied Hagrid. 
He raised his pink umbrella, of which Y/N was taking notice for the first time, to the statuette, and a golden light flashed. It hit the porcelain shepherd boy her mother bought a few years back from a vintage fair. In a flurry of life, the boy smiled at her, and his legs started moving on their own accord, as much as the Irish would. Y/N’s face lit up, her eyes widening in wonder. She turned to look at Hagrid, who was already looking at her, a mischievous twinkle in his gaze. “How’d you do that?!” she questioned him.
He laughed. “Yeh’ll get ter learn at Hogwarts. It would be wise not mention anyone 'bout this. I'm not allowed ter do magic, especially not in front o' Muggles.”
“Muggles?” furrowed Y/N.
“Non-magic folk.”
“But then…” She turned to her parents. “How did you know?”
Her mother suddenly turned white as a sheet. She put her arms around herself. “My brother… he was one.”
Confusion settled once again in Y/N’s heart. She never heard her mother speak of a brother before. There was never one in the family photographs. No videos of him. No letters.  She never knew she even had an uncle. It seemed as though he was a taboo. Never to be mentioned, never to be brought up. Never to be remembered. 
Hagrid’s thick voice cut through the heavy silence. “What, she don' know? Yeh never told her?! Arthur was a hero! An' yeh haven' told her 'bout 'im? Wha' abou’ Aurora, yeh haven' told her 'bout her either?”
Her mother turned red in the face. Y/N remembered the times when a lousy neighbour would try to pry in and her mother would turn red just as now, before resorting to yelling. Y/N braced herself for what was to come. 
“I couldn’t! You must understand, she was too young, still is-”
“She deserves ter know the truth!”
“I was too afraid to tell her!”
“Tell me what?” inquired Y/N timidly. 
The silence that followed settled heavily on the girl’s shoulders. She watched her mother carefully, trying to see through her. She was met with nothing. The warm light was now blinding her and she turned to look at the shepherd boy, who stopped dancing a long time ago. The answer came to her instantly when she caught sight of the photograph on the mantelpiece, near the porcelain statuette. It was taken on her 9th birthday, when no one she had invited came, no kids from school, no kids from happy-go-lucky families in the neighbourhood. She was bearing a crooked smile, missing a front tooth. Her mother on one side, holding the chocolate, love-made cake, her father on the other side, holding her by the shoulders. His glasses were slightly crooked, her fault, as she loved to play with him. A happy family. An innocent lie. She now realised she didn’t look  like her mother, nor like her father. “I’m not a Fletcher?” she said in disbelief, her voice barely a whisper. 
She heard Hagrid shift on his toes on the handmade carpet, a rather hoarse murmur travelling to her ears. “I shouldn' have said tha'...”
“Of course you’re still a Fletcher,” said her aunt, her wrinkly hand coming to rest on Y/N’s shoulder. “Just as I always will be your aunt and just as Henry will always be your uncle. But before everything and above all, you are your father’s daughter. Arthur’s.” She turned Y/N around, now peering into her eyes. “And when the time is right, I will tell you everything.”
A sadness was swirling in Y/N’s eyes and she had to blink against the tears to meet her aunt’s gaze. She nodded her head before casting her gaze onto the wrinkled letter in her hand. 
“Tha’s for yeh. Open it,” urged Hagrid, smiling down to her. 
With shaky hands, she tore off the scarlet, crimson seal and took out the aged, yellowish paper. 
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore (Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. Of Wizards)
Dear miss L/N,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. 
Please find an enclosed list of all of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on 1st of September. We await your owl by no later than 31st July. 
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall Deputy Headmistress
To say she was trembling was an understatement. She was in disbelief, little shock waves raising her neck hair on end. Despite that, though, a surge of excitement was travelling through her body like a warm liquid, all the way to her heart and she found herself grinning. She raised her gaze and looked at Hagrid.
“Told yeh,”  he simply said, returning her grin.
She laughed, before making eye contact with her aunt. “And dad was also a wizard? Mum too?”
Her aunt only nodded, her eyes full of unspoken words and emotion. 
“We'll have ter get your school books an' equipment, o' course. All the bes' stuff are found on Diagon Alley. I shall take yeh there meself, Dumbledore's orders.”
Y/N could almost jump up and down in excitement. “When?”
“Tomorrow is as good as any,” replied Hagrid winking. “Oh, I almost forgot!” He searched his pockets before he pulled out a small present. He handed it to Y/N and she took it with an inquiring look. 
Whatever was inside, was poorly wrapped. The wrapping paper was split in some places and wrinkled all around, but she could tell it was made with love and care. She pulled on the string and a small, handmade pair of earrings fell onto her hands. Made with baby pinecones, still green, the earrings shined against her face. “I used slug slime fer the shine, the bes' glitter. Unless yeh use unicorn blood, but we don' do tha' here,” explained Hagrid, anxiously watching her.
She only grinned, choosing to wear them proudly. “Thanks, Hagrid. I love them.”
She could swear she saw the giant, bubbly man blush. “Happy birthday, Y/N!”
Happy birthday, indeed. 
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
A/N: Here's the first chapter of my very very long Harry Potter journey (yes, I'm planning to do all the seven years, I shall have patience)! This boy does not get enough love and I'm here to write some for him.
Thank you so much for reading! Any kind of feedback is very much appreciated! If you'd like to be added to my main tag list or the series tag list, drop a comment or send me an ask!
Lots and lots of love xx

for the 2024 fic writing in review: 5, 6, 23, 30 !
5. What ships captured your heart?
My ship of the year is absolutely Roger Collins/Victoria Winters/Burke Devlin. What if Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester and Jay Gatsby/Ahab/Edmond Dantes/Heathcliff had problems in a quasi-feudal cannery and fishing town in mid-century Maine?
6. What characters captured your heart?
Honestly, most of the original crew of DS. Feel like pure shit just want them (alive, with their original characterizations) back on my goofy little gothic horror soap opera.
23. If you had to choose one, what was THE most satisfying writing moment of your year?
In terms of reaction, it was getting a comment or two on the world, which seems To lie before us like a land of dreams to the extent of 'never contemplated the possibility this would work, but consider me intrigued' - but the most fun I had writing was, from that same fic, the dialogue: “I wish you’d stop winding Burke up,” she murmured. “He likes it,” Roger replied, working the clasp of her necklace for better access to her neck, “It’s beneficial for him – like sea air, or prunes.”
30. What would you like to write next year?
More DS, certainly? I complain constantly about missing the early era of the show, so I'd like to get back to that. My favorite thing to write has usually been - characters in their downtime? I know we talked about what Carolyn and Vicki would do at the movies, or how Vicki - raised in an orphanage in Manhattan in the 1950s! - learned how to drive and where on earth/how on earth she'd get a car if she's not borrowing one from the Collinses.
2024 In Review Writing Asks!
