pairing: non-idol!seungmin x gn!reader

genre: fluff.

word count: 0.8k~

warnings: food mentions. reader has a golden retriever. reader and seungmin crushing on each other like idiots btw.

daisy's notes: also hi isa @sseastar thank u for help on this one as well!! <3

Seungmin liked the familiarity of the farmers market. The faces he saw regularly, both in terms of customers and other vendors, and the fact he could always find something interesting when his grandfather gave him a small break to explore. It wasn’t monotonous in the slightest (that’s where the interesting things helped), but… if there was one constant he could count on, it was you.

See, Seungmin barely remembered when you started coming here. All he knew was that you did, because you’d always walk your golden retriever through, and you’d always stop by this stall to see what jams and whatnot his grandfather bought this time. Your pup (Juniper, you once told him, like the berry? You can call her Junie, though) was always so well-behaved, even though she always knew Seungmin was carrying treats in his pockets (mainly for her). He’d chat you up as you looked through the selection, sometimes kneeling down to give Junie her treats and attention. He liked the cute bandanas you had loosely tied around her, just barely hiding her collar, and the way she sat dutifully by your side. You’d always told him that Juniper loved seeing him.

But Seungmin, thankfully, was not an idiot. It was you. You liked seeing him. You had a crush on him. And, no, it did not take someone else pointing it out to him for him to realize.

(He didn’t realize it until his grandfather let it slip that you’d come by twice until he told you Seungmin was too busy with exams to be there. That he would be back on Saturday, though, and sure enough… There you were, casually strolling past.)

For a while, Seungmin had just assumed you really liked jam. Or that you were a fan of fruit, since you sometimes bought some from their stand as well. The jam was the showstopper of it all, though: it was what people always loved the most, and you’d always complimented it when you came by. Yet figuring out that it was him you were coming for made a lot more sense. Sure, he liked the jam, too, but he couldn’t imagine himself stopping by constantly to survey the different kinds. Learning that you were crushing on him made him a little more smug, though: you were cute, and he liked you enough from your talks…

So when you came by later that week, Seungmin had a plan. His grandpa always ended up helping other customers, sending Seungmin over to you to help you make your selection and pay. Conversation always came easy to the two of you: he’d ask you about college, you’d ask him about college, and then you’d start talking about something silly that happened. Sometimes about Felix (he’s just my friend!) or Hyunjin (also just a friend–I’m single, haha) and something that they said…

“You know,” Seungmin was picking up a jar of strawberry jam, carefully wrapping it to keep it secure. “You don’t have to keep buying so much jam. I know you want to see me.”

“What?” Your eyes went wide, and for a moment, Seungmin wondered if he fucked up. Yet he saw the way you averted your gaze, pouting a little as you grew more flustered. Oh. He caught you outright. “Junie wants to see you. Not me.”

He chuckled. “Right… Just Juniper.”

“I’m here for the jam,” you said, still not meeting his gaze. The moment your eyes flickered back to him (just to his hands), you tore them away immediately, too embarrassed to even look at him now. “Nothing else. It’s not like I like you like that—”

Ah. He’d have to never mention that to anyone. Jeongin would tease him and say something about you ‘stealing his line’ since Seungmin… wasn’t always the most up front with his feelings. This time had been different: one of you needed to make a move, and Seungmin didn’t want your wallet to hurt any further than it already did.

“Grandpa said you came by when I was busy with exams,” he said, “and that you suddenly didn’t come back until Saturday since he told you that’s when I’d be back.”

“That means literally nothing. You carry treats for Juniper. Why would I subject her to expecting to see you?” You finally gathered your nerves enough to meet Seungmin’s gaze for a minute. “Maybe if your grandparents didn’t make good jam—”

He chuckled, picking up one of the mini jars while his grandfather wasn’t looking. He jotted down his number on a sticky note, placing it into the bag.

“Wait, I didn’t—”

“It’s on the house,” he said. “Just call me later. I’ll be mad if you don’t.”

You snatched the sticky note off the top of it, shoving it into your pocket for safekeeping. “Then pick up when I do… or I’ll be mad if you don’t.”

He’d make sure to answer on the first ring if it meant seeing your flustered face again soon… outside of the farmers market.

Next story part of Saying Farewell to Armageddon

A forest had engulfed Baker Street. A romantic, sunlit forest with twisting trees covered in puffy, bright yellow blossoms bursting from upturned cobblestones. Dotted among them were smaller, dark trees heavy with bunches of magenta berries. Two of the feral children had already attacked the berries, their lips a deep purple.

Dityaa stopped helping Revati with the popcorn cart and started skipping towards the children. Revati sneezed loudly as the pollen hit her nose. She hated to admit it, but it was all rather pretty.

A few feet away, Brigadeiro was working outside the greenhouse along with the school students and Dusk. Mrs. Gupta was glaring at them with firm disapproval. “Does that fool have any idea how much water plants use?” She grumbled to Revati, who was pushing the cart towards everyone.

“I told you, Mrs. Gupta, these are all drought-resistant native Australian plants,” Brigadeiro replied as he stooped over an upturned cobblestone, spraying the mud below. There was a faint rustling sound, and a bush burst from the earth. The bush had peculiar finger-like mint-green leaves. Seconds later, it was covered in hot pink fleshy fruit.

“They look like your hair,” Revati remarked, faintly startled by the entire thing. “Here, try one,” Brigadeiro replied, picking a piece of fruit and handing it to Revati.

“I was only gone for less than an hour,” Revati pointed out.

“I know, if I had more time, I would have been able to turn that old fountain into a herb garden,” Brigadeiro said with a small shrug.

A fresh, salty-sweet flavor hit Revati’s tongue, and she swallowed loudly, staring at the fruit with astonishment. “It’s so unusual,” she said after a second of shocked silence.

“Enchylaena tomentosa, otherwise known as Ruby Saltbush; they used to grow wild all over the deserts of Australia,” Brigadeiro said as Revati devoured the rest of the berry.

“Australia? Is that one of the smaller Saturn moons?” Revati asked, and Brigadeiro chuckled.

“No, it’s an ancient old Earth country,” Brigadeiro said. As far as Revati knew, nobody had stepped foot on old Earth in almost a thousand years.

“Don’t laugh at me, you thought a dog was a shoe!” Revati snapped back, tossing the rest of the fruit onto the earth. The bush rustled, and a branch grabbed the bright pink berry, shoving it into the dirt.

“Is it supposed to do that?” Revati asked, faintly horrified.

“Oh yes, it’s just reabsorbing its nutrients! All plants are modified to be self-sustaining,” Brigadeiro said cheerfully, and he reached into his jumpsuit pocket once again. This time he pulled out a tiny, slim plastic box. He held it up to his eye, and it made a clicking sound.

“What’s that?” Revati asked suspiciously.

“Oh this is just my seed vault! I did my master's thesis project on native Australian plants,” he said as he showed Revati the inside of his vault. The inside of the box was filled with tiny balls of clear goo, each with a speck inside.

“Why are you doing this? These seeds would be worth a fortune on the black market,” Revati asked, and Brigadeiro shrugged.

Here's the corrected version of your text:

"The least I can do after you saved my life is to build a self-sustaining garden for your community," he said, plucking one of the gel balls out before closing the ball with a snap. "Besides, it’s fun! Gardening has always been my passion," he added as he walked to the old fountain.

Juniper and Aurora were busy filling the fountain with volcanic Martian dirt. "You agreed to help him on this project? I thought you hated him," Revati whispered to Aurora.

"Shhh! I don’t hate him! I just don’t want you getting into a mess! I’m willing to like anyone who makes us more food," Aurora hissed.

"Miss Juniper! Will you say our prayer before the planting?" Bridgadeiro asked, and Juniper rolled her eyes.

"Fine, O Goup, Divine Goddess of Fertility and Wellness. Bringer of cosmic balance and nurturer of all that grows. We seek Your bountiful grace and nurturing embrace. To foster life’s richness wherever it flows.

In Your lush gardens, where seeds turn to flowers, Grant us the strength to cultivate with care, To nurture each bud and blossom with love, And rejoice in the abundance we share.

May Your fertile essence inspire our lands, With a symphony of life, vibrant and bright, Guiding our steps in the dance of creation, Under Your watchful, life-giving light. Amen." Juniper finished.

"Amen! That was lovely! You could be a high priestess," Bridgadeiro smiled.

"No thanks," Juniper replied as Bridgadeiro pushed the gel ball into the soil. Bridgadeiro then pulled out the bottle of serum, which was now half empty. "Two pumps," Bridgadeiro smiled, pumping the soil. A vine-like plant with sharp leaves sprang out of the fountain, seconds later covered in heavy greenish-yellow vegetables. "Bush banana, very high in protein, but it tastes best cooked," Bridgadeiro smiled, gesturing to the plant.

Bridgadeiro reached for his seed vault again, and Revati grabbed his hand. "No, you've given us more than enough! Stop wasting your serum," she said firmly.

"What the hell is that doing here?" Nanni's voice suddenly screamed. Nanni was standing next to the popcorn cart, pointing at the broken android.

"We found it in the maze, right after I sucked a bunch of black sand out of Queen Victoria’s bosom," remarked Dityaa. Dityaa was sitting on the ground, fashioning a flower crown out of several yellow flower-covered twigs.

"Actually, I found it first. She warned me that something called 'the spider' is coming," Revati explained. Nanni was trembling, shaking her head from side to side.

"You need to burn that thing! The only good thing that came from it was your sister!" Nanni said, and Dityaa glanced up, looking faintly confused.

"I came from that? Didn’t I grow in Anna’s body like Sissy?" Dityaa asked curiously, and Nanni pursed her lips together.

"No, you grew in that maternity droid… lots of babies did before the war," Nanni said evasively.

"I did! Then we should save it, we should dress it up and put it on display," Dityaa smiled. Dityaa slowly got up and then tenderly placed the flower crown on the android's head. "Your mother can't see this! Go make a fire right now," hissed Nanni, ripping the crown off.

"It's made out of solid metal! I can't make a fire hot enough to burn it," Revati pointed out.

"You have no idea! This thing killed over a dozen people! It destroyed ripped their hands off!" Nanni grimaced, kicking it.

"Really? It seemed more interested in saving us," Revati said dubiously.

"It's an empty shell, you can't trust emptiness! It could be filled with anything," Nanny said firmly, and Aurora cleared her throat slightly.

"Mistress?" She asked.

"Hmm," Revati replied.

"We could take the android to the blacksmith forge; they would be able to melt metal," Aurora said with a small shrug.

"The blacksmith forge, the one in the medieval faire? I'm not in the mood to have rancid urine thrown all over me," Revati shuddered.

"They use it to brush their teeth," Dityaa said helpfully.

"I know a back way of getting in, I use it when I visit my girlfriend," Aurora admitted, blushing bright red.

"Girlfriend?" Revati cried with surprise.

"Yes, she's the daughter of the guy who plays the castle's beekeeper," Aurora admitted with a small shy smile.

"Is that where our honey comes from?" Revati asked, and Aurora nodded meekly.

"Well, you are a lady full of surprises!" Revati said, and Aurora looked pleased.

"I always meet her at noon; we have plenty of time to get the android there," Aurora said. Revati glanced up at the sky. "It’s hard to tell what time it is; the trees are blocking the sun," Revati grimaced with annoyance. "It's 10:32 AM circus Martian time," Bridgadeiro said helpfully, flipping over his wrist. A glowing clock had been tattooed onto his skin. Revati flinched, and Bridgadeiro smiled reassuringly.

"Don’t worry! It’s just a standard tattoo clock; it doesn’t think for itself," Bridgadeiro said reassuringly, and Revati sighed with relief.

"Can I come too? I’m dying to see the inside of Medieval faire!" Dityaa remarked.

"Only if you go clean yourself up; you’re starting to smell like a blocked drain," Revati firmly replied.

"I smell like vanilla and fresh flowers!" Dityaa shrieked back before storming off in the direction of their home.

"Medieval Faire. Before the tornado, Revati only ever visited Medieval Faire once a week. Revati would slip her hand into her father's, and together they would head down to trade carrots. Father had at one point asked if they wanted any tomatoes, and Lady Morganna shrieked it was "new world poison." Out of all the actors, the residents of Medieval Faire were the most authentic.

Just thinkin' about Nightshade: The Meaning of a Name

This started out as me thinking about how much I love their beast mode, and turned into thinking about their designation.

So, for those who might live in regions where Nightshade doesn't grow naturally, Nightshade is massively, massively poisonous.

So much so, that it's called Deadly Nightshade. In the UK, it's famous for being the plant that Macbeth probably used to poison Duncan's troops.

I always grew up hearing it called Belladonna, which is part of its Latin name, Atropa belladonna.

"Atropa" comes from "Atropos", the name of the Grecian Fate who severs the thread of life. (If you've seen the Disney Hercules movie, this is the Fate who cuts the thread with scissors.)

It has a beautiful purple and yellow flower, more reminiscent of Tarantulas' colours than Nightshade's.

It also features little black/dark purple berries.

Now, Nightshade is a great name for a bot that turns into an owl.

The name doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the plant.

However! I'm overthinking it anyway, so let's goooooo

Bad Implications!

What's super interesting is that Deadly Nightshade has some symbolic meanings in the UK/Europe; Namely, that Nightshade is one of the Devil's chosen plants, and that eating it (especially the berries) would bring Satan's wrath down upon the consumer as punishment.

It can represent danger, risk, betrayal, punishment, hopelessness, and sometimes even murder.

Plants with similarly mythologised toxic properties are Pennyroyal and Juniper-- Both of which can harm humans in various quantities.

(Interestingly, Pennyroyal is still sold in the UK as an insect repellent, and I even have some in my closet and drawers to repel moths-- But it is most famous as a risky historical abortifacient. I am usually asked for ID when I buy it in London Bridge Market, and they ask if you are familiar with it's use/inform you not to consume it when you buy it.

Juniper is most famous for being a common ingredient in sloe gin, but only in careful amounts. We've seen people in A&E come in with kidney pains from trying to make homemade gin, who ended up poisoning themselves by using the wrong type of juniper berry, or by concentrating it too much. Juniper was also considered a risky historical abortifacient.)

But in regards to Deadly Nightshade, a lot of people have hurt themselves trying to take advantage of its psychoactive properties-- Primarily in the form of the hyoscyamine and scopolamine (tropane alkaloids) found in the plant. However, the dosage is too finnicky, and it's way too easy for someone to poison themselves by accident. It's happened before. :( This plant is far too dangerous to use for these purposes. Do not consume!

But because of this connection with psychoactive properties, Deadly Nightshade is also sometimes symbolic of altered states of mind, having visions, or esoteric/magical thinking.

You can see this in a few fine arts works throughout history, various bits of folklore, and other historical media such as stage plays since audiences would be familiar with this plant as being a potential poison (thus making it a good choice for a playwright to work into a story).

Medical Applications!

The medication Atropine was first created via concentrated extracts derived from Deadly Nightshade. It has multiple medical applications, and can be concentrated from other members of the Nightshade family of plants, not just Belladonna.

Interestingly, although it can be poisonous on its own if someone decides to munch on the plant or its berries (a bad idea, do not eat any part of this plant ever), medically concentrated Atropine can be used in healthcare environments when administered appropriately to help address certain organophosphate poisonings by blocking muscarinic receptors by way of disrupting the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine.

Something that is sort of interesting is that historically, people used to put small amounts of liquid concentrated Deadly Nightshade into their eyes, as this resulted in very dilated pupils. This was considered a desirable cosmetic effect, hence the "Belladonna" part of the plant name-- It means "beautiful woman"! And Nightshade absolutely has large, round eyes with big pupils. (Do not put this shit in your eyes, it is a bad idea. Do not fuck with poisonous plants in general. Just need to be super clear on this!)

Again, that's an owlish trait, and it doesn't necessarily have to do with the plant. But I like that it could go either way.

I've also spotted Deadly Nightshade growing in overgrown cemeteries in the south of England, typically those that are near wooded/forested areas. So it's interesting that Nightshade got their alt-mode in a cemetery near a forest, since this plant is known to grow in woodlands.

But I wonder if Nightshade's name might have multiple implications; Especially considering their relationship with Tarantulas-- who we still haven't seen again, as of yet anyway-- it will be interesting to see how things play out.

Hopefully this is at least interesting trivia! :)

Also, Obvious PSA: Once again, don't eat any of the plants/flowers/berries mentioned here, you can die or suffer a surprisingly large amount of pain/potential organ damage. Either way, don't eat this stuff.

Fanfic Work!

Welcome back! This was based of Anon’s request for a Qunari Male Rook and Lucanis so I decided to make it a short fluffy and comforting work! Right in time for the season!Maybe Ill add a bit of spice to it later, who knows <3

For now, take some fall season comfort!

Pairing: Qunari M!Rook X Lucanis Dellamorte

Contains: Snuggling, comfort, cozy feelings.

I was walking down the stairs from my room in the Lighthouse, ready to go talk to Harding about her feelings on the last mission when I smelled the familiar spices of star anise, cinnamon, clove, and then the strong scent of crisp apples.

I followed the scent to the kitchen where my love, Lucanis, was cooking at the stove. His dark eyes watching the contents with sharp focus.

He was wearing his usual casual clothes, with a small apron on. His little coffee cup sitting next to the stove.

“I was wondering who could be baking.” I said in a cheery tone.

I ducked my head to avoid my horns hitting the top of the door, walking over to the side of Lucanis to watch what he was doing. I gave him a quick kiss on the side of his forehead, and started hugging him from behind as he stirred.

“I am not a baker. Meals, I can make. Baked goods, I cannot. I am making cider.” He wearily said.

“Cider! I haven’t had apple cider since I was a child! We used to drink it in Orlais when the weather turned frosty and the leaves changed color!”

I excitedly looked over his shoulder, the scent of the cider was strong and comforting. Like being wrapped in a warm blanket. The color of that perfect dark tan color was starting to come through in the pot and made me want to drink it straight out of the pot.

“You used to live in Orlais?”

“Grew up in the forests of Orlais. Easier to hide there when you're on the run from the Qun, I guess.”

“I see. That explains why the recipe came from an Orlesian vendor… I had to go through the Eluvian and sneak into Val Rouyex’s market just to get these apples. The recipe was very specific.”

I scrunched my nose, thinking of the bitter flavor that could possibly be in there. Orlesian culture likes misery and tends to put it in their cuisine. Their mark.

“Be careful using an Orlesian recipe… Could make the cider taste… off.” I gently cautioned.

“Trust me. I know.” He chuckled, bringing up the recipe page to his face, reading it off. “Add Juniper Berries if you wish to give your cider that taste of autumnal depression.”

I laughed as he tried to do an orlesian accent, hunkering down so I could bury my face in his back.

“You didn’t add them, did you?” I asked, hopeful.

I looked at the pot, looking for any aign of the berry but did not see them.

“I think I have had enough depression for this fall season.” I said with my tongue out.

He laughed in response, and he gently shrugged me off.

“No. I wanted this to be special for you. You hate bitterness.” He said, a bit shyly.

“Let me get some mugs for us. I want to drink this together.” I suggested.

“You want me to try it?”

I looked down, tracing my nails into the counter. Making them do figure eights. Almost shy to ask him.

“My family… when it got cold, we’d make apple cider and cozy up by the fireplace. My parents were not used to the cold so they'd snuggle with us and drink cider. Telling scary stories and making plans to bake. Things like that. I was hoping since you and I are together now that you’d want to do that with me?”

His eyes got big and soft, staring at me. He already seemed uncomfortable to me so I started to try and back track.

“Sorry, I just miss home and-“ I stammered.

“It honestly sounds… Very nice. Let’s do it.” He nodded.

“Are you sure? I don't want to force you-“

“You cannot force me to do something I do not want to do. Let's get… cozy.”

I excitedly ran out of the room, my heart all a flutter. I quickly grabbed my blankets from my room, speeding down to the fireplace area and laying our blankets out in front of the fire, running back up to grab pillows and more blankets until a sort of cozy blanket nest had been made. Lucanis came in with the mugs and set them on the table nearby, looking over at me with an amused but confused expression.

“You really went all out.” He chuckled.

“I really want to do this with you. Come! Bring the mugs! I want to wrap you up and snuggle you!”

Lucanis lowered his face but I could see his face turning pink as he grabbed the mugs, coming over.

“Alright… Take your mug first. I will…settle in.”

“Here! Sit on my lap!” I tapped enthusiastically.

“Y-your lap?” He said with an embarrassed expression.

“Yeah! I want to hold you!”

He nervously lowered himself onto my lap, his legs hanging off of one side and pressing the side of his body into my chest as I wrapped my blanket around us and around him tightly.

“Therreee we go…” I purred in contentment.

“Mm… This is nice… I feel…like I’m melting into you.” He purred.

“It’s nice, huh?”

“Very.”

I grabbed my cup, and sipped at its contents. The cider is so crisp and refreshing and the spices… So warm and bright. Reminded me perfectly of home.

I saw Lucanis bring the cup to his lips and then a soft and gentle coo escaped his body.

“That is… very comforting. Especially with the cold weather we've been fighting in. It's perfect for chasing a chill away.”

“You are so precious, I can’t handle it!”

I hugged him closely and kissed his face, nuzzling my face into his.

He reacted like a cat. He tried to bury himself deeper into my lap, but when he couldn’t escape he just sat there and took it but growled in discontent.

“Rooook… you're embarrassing me.”

“But you are!” I smiled.

“You are the one who is precious here. Soft and warm. So kind as well. Like a really nice bear.”

“Are you saying ‘bear’ because I am a Qunari?”

“Bears are fluffy and big. You are big and quite soft, are you not?” Lucanis argued.

I laughed and held him tighter, snuggling him closer. My heart was beating softly, watching over Lucanis sip at the coder. His soft dark hair falling in his face as he snuggled into my chest.

“Rook?”

“Yes, my little bird?”

“Let’s stay like this for a while.”

I smiled and watched the fire, putting some blanket over him while he nestled in.

“Whatever you want, Lucanis.”

The <0.5 % ABV spirit is made with locally foraged rowan berries

Loch Lomond creates first non-alc spirit

Spirits producer Loch Lomond Group has entered the low-and-no market with a non-alcoholic botanical ‘spirit’ version of its Ben Lomond Gin.

The non-alcoholic botanical spirit, which has an ABV of less than 0.5%, is inspired by the full-strength Ben Lomond Scottish Gin and has a similar citrus and juniper-focused flavour profile.

Locally foraged rowan berries from Loch Lomond and the Trossachs are described as adding a ‘crisp bitterness’, while the sweetness of Scottish blackcurrants provide balance.

Its tasting notes see orange and pine on the nose, and sweet berries and rowan berries on the palate. The finish is said to bring citrus and berries to the fore with peppery spice.

It will debut at the 152nd Open golf championship, taking place at the Royal Troon Golf Club in Ayrshire between 18-21 July.

The spirit will be poured across bars at the championship and will also be available to purchase from the Ben Lomond Gin website for £22 (US$28).

John Grieveson, chief marketing officer of Ben Lomond Gin and its owner Loch Lomond Group, said: “Over the past few years, we’ve seen the trend towards more mindful consumption increasing. However, this doesn’t mean consumers should have to compromise on quality or taste.

“Ben Lomond Gin has always been passionate about giving people the freedom to explore, to drink wherever and however they choose. Our Non-Alcoholic Botanical Spirit is a delicious non-alcoholic gin alternative to be savoured anywhere you choose, ensuring you can fully embrace everyday adventure.

“We’re excited to debut this elevated option to the low and no-alcohol category at the 152nd Open at Royal Troon, where we look forward to hearing what gin enthusiasts and golf fans think of our new creation.”

Last year Loch Lomond Group created two limited edition whiskies and a gin for The Open. It has a partnership with the championship until 2028.

The gin Ben Lomond released for The Open this year – The Open 2024 Special Edition (43% ABV, £45/US$58) – was made with native botanicals hand-picked directly from Royal Troon, including tansy herb, elderberries and blackberry leaves.

The low-and-no space is developing at pace. IWSR data predicts the sector will rise by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6% from 2023 to 2027 in 10 key markets – and this will be driven by non-alcoholic products, rather than low-alcohol

What Arbor Day/2022 lore ?

My best summary of the event:

Eli is a wandering bard who's home, once a lush forest, has transformed into a desert after 10 years.

Demi runs Desert Inn, which she opened with her brother. He created a fruit punch recipe using wild berries they picked together as they wandered the world until his disappearance some years ago. As she's awaited his return, she watched the forest cut down for fuel and construction of markets and pubs that took business away from her fruit punch sales using the recipe her brother left for her.

Eli stays at the inn, telling her he's awaiting friends he promised to reunite with under the ash tree to celebrate Ashen Day to show their appreciation for nature by singing and playing music.

Eli then meets Robbie, a child who no longer has his parents or sister and currently lives at the inn after the Juniper tree he used to live under was cut down.

After Robbie is Naib. The ash tree reminds him of home, a faraway place he's had to get used to being away from but was destroyed while he was away. He now makes a living by "running errands" for others and sends what he earns to his mother.

Next is Antonio, a "world-class violinist" who's played for the king and princess but detests how nobles have ruined nature while attempting to replicate it in their art. He's fallen in love with the princess, who he promises to return to on "the day I promised" but tells her to stop looking for him until then, and at the moment is looking for "extraordinary" inspiration and "nostalgia".

Victor arrives last to deliver a letter, but is encouraged to join in the festivities by the others.

It's then that Eli reveals they are the "friends" he'd been awaiting (he was searching for people like him who want change) and asks that they reunite when the ash trees bloom.

Voretober Day 17

Prompt: Drink

I tried something a little different in my mead brewing recently. Mixing in some juniper berries, yarrow, and hibiscus leaves to give it a nice red hue and delicious flavour.

I went to a market in a local village to sell it, and immediately after serving a few samples, it was selling out in no time at all! The months work had been worth it!

Unfortunately… preds attend those markets too, and I learned firsthand that some preds have a “fun” tradition when they discover a new brew made by a prominent prey…

They take the brewer, and see how well they pair with their creation.

She was so polite about it at first, that giantess, talking to me sweetly and paying for the last of the mead. Enough, at least, to fill her stein at home. I thanked her profusely, turned to pack up… and in an instant, I was grabbed, tossed into her purse, and carried back to her house… and you can guess what happened next.

Apparently the sweet yet salty accents of my skin, along with the hint of honey flavour offset the berries of the mead nicely… she really was quite the connoisseur. Accurately describing every flavour note of the mead and my body out loud as she drank and tossed me about her mouth, until at long last, she drained the glass, and swallowed me…

I sat there, feeling the last of my passion project drain into her massive belly with me… and she reclined on her couch, somewhat drunk, and very satisfied.

Thinking fast before digestion set in, I informed her that there was more mead back at my home, and if she let me go, I’d show her the way…

She considered this for a long moment. Too long, my skin reddening and tingling from the potent mix of alcohol and acids inside her. Until at last, I heard her swallowing something else… a bit of rope for me to ascend by. And with a steady grip and a long tug from her end, I had somehow survived.

I fled as fast as I could, of course, and she was too drunk to track me. But I still sent her a healthy amount of my next batch. Repeat customers are good, even if they do want to eat me.

The Ultimate Guide to Bath & Body Works Candles: Scents That Elevate Your Home Experience

When it comes to luxury home fragrances, few brands capture the hearts of candle lovers quite like Bath & Body Works. With their vast range of scents, seasonal collections, and high-quality products, Bath & Body Works has become synonymous with indulgent self-care and creating inviting home atmospheres. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer looking to dive into the world of candles, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about Bath & Body Works candles, from why they're so popular to how to find the perfect scent for your home.

Why Bath & Body Works Candles Are So Popular

If you've ever walked past a Bath & Body Works store, you've likely been hit by an irresistible wave of warm, inviting fragrances. The brand has mastered the art of scent marketing, but their success isn't just about what you smell in the store. There are several key reasons why Bath & Body Works candles have become a household name:

1. High-Quality Ingredients

Bath & Body Works prides itself on using high-quality essential oils and proprietary fragrance blends that create long-lasting, true-to-life scents. These aren't your run-of-the-mill candles with artificial smells. The careful crafting process ensures that each candle has a powerful yet balanced fragrance, whether it’s a fresh eucalyptus blend or a sugary sweet vanilla.

2. Long Burn Time

The three-wick candles, one of their most popular formats, burn evenly for up to 25-45 hours. This extended burn time makes them a cost-effective choice compared to other luxury candle brands, providing many hours of soothing light and delightful fragrance.

3. Seasonal and Limited-Edition Scents

One of the reasons Bath & Body Works fans are so loyal is their ability to continuously surprise with seasonal and limited-edition candles. Whether it's a Pumpkin Spice Latte scent for fall or a Peppermint Twisted holiday blend for winter, Bath & Body Works always has something fresh and exciting for candle lovers. Collectors especially love the seasonal offerings, which come in limited-edition packaging and often sell out quickly.

4. Variety of Scents

From florals and fresh linens to desserts and exotic spices, there’s a scent for every nose and every occasion. Their expansive collection makes it easy to switch things up based on your mood or the season. Whether you're trying to create a calming space in your bedroom, an energizing environment in your kitchen, or a festive atmosphere for the holidays, Bath & Body Works candles have got you covered.

Best-Selling Bath & Body Works Candles

While the store offers an extensive selection of fragrances, certain candles have become iconic in the Bath & Body Works lineup. These fan favorites have earned their place in homes across the world.

1. Mahogany Teakwood

One of the brand's most recognizable scents, Mahogany Teakwood is a sophisticated blend of rich mahogany, black teakwood, and dark oak. It’s perfect for those who enjoy woodsy, masculine fragrances that bring a sense of warmth and luxury to any room. If you love the scent of cologne, this candle is a must-have.

2. Eucalyptus Spearmint

Part of Bath & Body Works’ Aromatherapy collection, Eucalyptus Spearmint is the ultimate stress-relief candle. Its crisp eucalyptus and cooling spearmint scent help soothe the senses and promote relaxation. This candle is a popular choice for those looking to create a spa-like atmosphere in their home.

3. Sweater Weather

A seasonal favorite, Sweater Weather combines fresh sage, juniper berry, and aromatic eucalyptus to create a cozy, invigorating scent reminiscent of cool autumn mornings. This candle is a top pick for fall and pairs well with a good book and a hot cup of tea.

4. Leaves

Leaves is another fall favorite that epitomizes the cozy vibe we crave as the weather cools. With notes of crisp red apple, golden nectar, and clove spice, it brings the essence of a brisk walk through a leaf-strewn forest right into your living room.

5. Champagne Toast

For those who prefer lighter, bubbly fragrances, Champagne Toast is a celebration in a candle. The scent combines champagne, sparkling berries, and juicy tangerine, making it a great option for special occasions or simply adding a touch of glamour to your day.

How to Choose the Perfect Bath & Body Works Candle

With so many options to choose from, finding the perfect candle for your home can feel overwhelming. However, by considering a few factors, you can easily narrow down your selection to the scent that best suits your needs.

1. Consider the Room

Each room in your home has a different purpose, so choosing scents that match the vibe of the room is important. For example, in the bedroom, you may want to go for calming, soothing scents like lavender or eucalyptus. In the kitchen, you might prefer something fresh or fruity like lemon or cucumber. For communal spaces like the living room, warm, inviting scents like vanilla or cedarwood work well.

2. Match the Season

Bath & Body Works excels at offering seasonally appropriate scents that reflect the mood and weather of each time of year. For example, in summer, you might enjoy tropical, citrusy scents like "Island Margarita" or "Waikiki Beach Coconut." In the fall and winter, spicier, warmer fragrances like "Marshmallow Fireside" or "Hot Cocoa & Cream" can add to the cozy, holiday ambiance.

3. Personal Preference

Ultimately, choosing a candle comes down to personal preference. Some people prefer fresh, clean scents, while others gravitate toward gourmand fragrances with vanilla, sugar, or chocolate notes. If you're unsure of what you like, start with a variety pack of mini candles, which allows you to experiment with different scents before committing to a larger jar.

How to Care for Your Bath & Body Works Candles

To get the most out of your candles, proper care is essential. Here are a few tips to ensure your Bath & Body Works candles burn evenly and last as long as possible:

1. Trim the Wick

Always trim the wick to about ¼ inch before lighting your candle. This helps prevent the flame from getting too large, which can lead to uneven burning and produce excess soot.

2. Let It Pool

Allow the candle to burn until the wax melts across the entire surface, creating a full "pool." This will prevent tunneling and ensure that your candle burns evenly over time.

3. Use a Candle Snuffer

Instead of blowing out the flame, use a candle snuffer to extinguish it. This minimizes the smoke and helps preserve the fragrance for your next use.

4. Reuse the Jar

Once your candle has burned down, don't toss out the beautiful glass jar. Bath & Body Works candle jars are reusable and make for excellent storage containers for small items like cotton balls, office supplies, or even makeup brushes.

Why You Should Stock Up During the Annual Candle Day Sale

If you're a true candle lover, you’ve probably heard of Bath & Body Works' legendary Candle Day Sale. Held annually in December, this event offers significant discounts on their famous 3-wick candles, with prices dropping as low as $10-12 per candle. It's the perfect time to stock up on your favorite scents, try new ones, or buy gifts for friends and family.

The sale usually draws huge crowds, both in-store and online, so it's a good idea to plan ahead. Pro tip: Create an online account and fill your cart early, so you can check out as soon as the sale starts to avoid missing out on limited stock.

Conclusion

Bath & Body Works candles are more than just a way to scent your home—they're an experience. With their wide variety of high-quality fragrances, long burn times, and seasonal offerings, these candles are perfect for any occasion, room, or mood. Whether you're looking to unwind after a long day, add ambiance to your dinner party, or simply fill your home with delightful scents, Bath & Body Works has a candle for you.

So go ahead, light up your favorite Bath & Body Works candle, and enjoy the magic of transforming your home into a cozy, fragrant haven.

The image you sent is a screenshot of a post on the social media platform Tumblr. The post discusses what kind of gin is good for a Negroni cocktail.

A Negroni is a cocktail made with equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari. It is typically stirred together with ice and served in a rocks glass with an orange peel for garnish.

The person in the post says that they like to use Hendricks or Roku gin for their Negronis. They also say that sometimes they skip the gin and use mezcal instead, especially in the warmer months.

Here are some of the possible reasons why the person in the post might prefer these gins for their Negronis:

* Hendricks gin is a popular brand of gin that is known for its smooth taste and floral aromas. It is a good choice for a Negroni because it can help to balance out the bitterness of the Campari.

* Roku gin is a Japanese gin that is made with six different botanicals, including juniper berries, Sansho peppercorns, yuzu peel, and green tea. It has a more complex flavor than Hendricks gin, which can make for a more interesting Negroni.

* Mezcal is a type of agave liquor that is similar to tequila, but it is made with a different type of agave plant and is smoked during the production process. Mezcal can add a smoky flavor to a Negroni, which some people enjoy.

Ultimately, the best gin for a Negroni is a matter of personal preference. There are many different gins on the market, so you can experiment to find one that you like.

Remain hydrated:

Adequate hydration may aid in the elimination of contaminants, including those that may affect the prostate's functionality. Make an effort to consume at least eight containers of water per day.

Submit to routine medical examinations.

Frequent medical examinations with your doctor can aid in the early detection of prostate problems, when they are most treatable. If there is a family history of prostate problems, it may be prudent to initiate routine medical examinations earlier.

Contributing factors to prostate organ problems:

The prostate organ may enlarge as men age, resulting in a variety of prostate-related complications. The following are the five prevalent causes of prostate-related problems:

Age:

As men age, the likelihood that they will experience prostate problems increases. The condition known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is characterised by an enlargement of the prostate organ, is prevalent in senior males. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia affects over fifty percent of men aged sixty and older.

Genetics:

Hereditary factors have been associated with prostate disorders, including prostate cancer. Individuals with a family history of prostate cancer are at a higher risk for developing the disease.

Hormones:

The prostate organ responds to hormonal fluctuations, particularly testosterone levels. As the male population ages, testosterone levels tend to decline, thereby increasing the likelihood of prostate problems such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer.

Infection:

Infections can sometimes cause prostatitis, also known as inflammation of the prostate organ. This condition may be acute or chronic and may be brought on by a bacterial or viral infection.

Behavioural factors:

Multiple lifestyle factors may also contribute to prostate problems. A significant association has been found between a diet high in red meat and dairy products and an increased risk of developing prostate cancer. Obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, and cigarette use have also been linked to an increased risk of developing prostate-related conditions.

Purchase

Urinoct prostate health supplements are available for purchase on the official website. Exclusively purchasing from the official website ensures a secure and reliable transaction.

Juniper’s Story | Tommy Shelby x Reader

PART 4 of the Girl Dad Series…find more HERE.

Request: yes by anonymous

Pairing: Tommy Shelby x reader

Summary: How the littlest of the Shelby girls got her name, and how she made her entrance into the world.

Warnings: mentions of hospitals, a bunch of fluff

Word Count: 3628

A/N: I’ve teased it, talked about it, and it was the winner of the poll I shared last week…now it’s finally here! I always have so much fun writing with this family. Even though it’s called Juniper’s Story, Thea’s really the star of this one. Enjoy! :)

I’D LOVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! - YOUR COMMENTS & REBLOGS HELP ME WRITE!

Comment/Message me if you’d like to be tagged in future stories similar to this one!

It all started with a simple question from Thea: "can we name baby sissy Juniper?".

Most kids have their obsessions, whether it be princesses, dinosaurs, or what have you. Well, for Theodora Rose Shelby...it was Juniper trees. Her interest was created when she got assigned the Juniper tree as a topic for a little research project that her schoolteacher tasked the class with completing. Out of all of the flora of England, Thea got the Juniper tree, and so she dove headfirst into learning about them.

First, she asked aunt Ada if she could find some books about Juniper trees at the library. Then she asked uncle Arthur if he could help her draw pictures of Juniper trees so that the visual part of her project was perfect. Finally, she enlisted the help of her mum to make sure that what she wrote sounded really good because her mum was 'the best writer she'd ever known'.

It wasn't a surprise that she got the highest grade in her class for the project. But Thea's love for Juniper trees didn't stop there. No...if anything, it grew even more.

Soon Frances was calling to the local farmer's markets to see if they had, or could make, Juniper jam - because Thea was really interested in knowing what the 'adorable berries' taste like. Also Tommy had to put in an order to the property's gardener to add some Juniper saplings onto the grounds. Thea made sure to take walks to see them every day so that she could track how they were growing.

(Y/N) found her daughter's newfound interest absolutely adorable...Tommy was a bit bummed that her love for a plant had taken over her interest in horses. Nevertheless, both of her parents made sure that her interest and love were validated, no matter how silly it seemed from the outside looking in.

Another thing Thea was absolutely over the moon for was her mummy having another baby. She took pride in being the big sister of the family, and was confident that she'd be an excellent sister to the new baby that was going to be coming, just like she is to Evie.

(Y/N) was thankful for this, especially since - despite her initial excitement to share the news with her father - Evie was rather wary of there being a new baby in the house. She was realizing that she was no longer going to be the littlest and was having some trouble working her way to the understanding of her new role as 'middle sister'. No matter how many times, and different ways, (Y/N) would try to explain the situation, things would always end with poor Evie crying and (Y/N) feeling like she failed.

Thea was most certainly happy to make sure that Evie understood that she was still going to be loved and a part of the family, and she did it in a way only a six year old can do to a three year old. (Y/N) could vividly remember the evening she found the two girls talking about the subject. She stayed in the doorway and watched as Thea answered every single one of Evie's questions and assured her that she'd still very much be loved by her mum and dad 'because that's what happened to me when you came home'. It was hard for the older woman to hold back her tears. Thea certainly saved the day in that regard.

One evening, when aunt Polly had come to visit, the family had sat down for dinner. (Y/N) was talking about her pregnancy this time around, and how things were going compared to her previous two. Polly intently listened to the younger woman as she spoke, and waited until she was finished to share what she had been thinking for some time now. "You're having another girl," she told (Y/N), a closed mouth smile present as she shared the information.

"You think so?" (Y/N) asked, her eyes widening slightly as she felt a smile begin to tug at her lips. One glance at Tommy brought the smile full onto her features as she tried to hold back her giggles. She knew that he so desperately wanted to have a son.

"I know so," Polly corrected in a confident tone, nodding slightly as she raised her eyebrows.

A brilliant idea came to Thea the following afternoon after she'd been thinking about the news since her aunt Polly had said it: why not put her two loves together?

She found her mum already sitting at the table when she entered the dining room. A bright smile was present on her face as she sat down across from the older woman, watching as Evie clambered up into the chair to her right.

"What's that smile for, Thea?" (Y/N) asked, suspiciously eyeing her eldest daughter as the plates were brought out.

Thea bit onto her bottom lip to contain her excitement. Now is the time to ask it!, she thought to herself, feeling her excitement bubble up with each second that passed. (Y/N) waited expectantly, hoping that the young girl would come out with her answer before she exploded from her own excitement. "Can we name baby sissy Juniper?" she finally asked, the widest smile on her face.

"Juniper?" (Y/N) checked to make sure, intrigue slipping into the single word sentence.

"Yes, Juniper," Thea nodded firmly, "like the really pretty tree with the adorable berries."

"Are you sure that the baby will be a girl?" (Y/N) had another question.

"Yes," Thea nodded again, without a doubt in her mind, "aunt Polly's never wrong."

(Y/N) laughed softly at what her daughter had to say, "I can't argue there," she agreed then, taking a bite of her meal before looking up to see that both of her daughters were waiting intently on her response to the original question. She looked between the both of them before speaking again: "Evie, do you like the name Juniper?" she decided to ask the three year old.

"Oh yes! Juniper is a beautiful name, mummy. Just like my name is and Thea's name is," she agreed with her older sister's proposal.

(Y/N) smiled at the girl's response, staying silent for a few beats before she spoke again: "I think it's a sweet name, but I'll have to talk to daddy about it before we decide anything," she told the girls.

"You're right...daddy should get to say if he likes the name too," Thea nodded her head at her mother's statement, her confidence in the suggestion not waning.

(Y/N) settled herself on the lounge that was positioned next to the phone receiver later that evening. Tommy was off on business, and she knew that the later in the evening she tried to call, the better the chance she'd have at reaching him.

After asking for his room, she was put through, and the call picked up after two rings. "Hello?" Tommy's voice came from the other side of the line.

"Tommy," (Y/N) breathed, letting out a content sigh just after hearing his voice, "how was your day?"

"Busy," he didn't give many details...he never did. If she was being honest, (Y/N) didn't know if she rathered him to share them or not. "How are you and the girls?" he shifted the question onto her.

"We're all good," she smiled as she answered him, "Thea asked me a pretty interesting question at dinner this evening."

"Oh yeah?" it was clear that she'd caught his interest, "what's that?"

"She asked if we could name the new baby Juniper," she told him what their daughter had asked, running an absentminded hand over her baby bump as she spoke.

"Juniper?" he questioned the name, much like she had after hearing the question herself.

"Yes, Juniper," (Y/N) just had to giggle as she realized that she had answered his initial question just like Thea had answered hers.

Silence came over the receiver then, and (Y/N) could almost picture Tommy sitting; mulling over the idea in his mind. The mental image of it made her smile.

"Are you still there, love?" she decided to ask after a few moments had passed.

"I am," he responded, letting out a breath of a laugh then, "I'm still quite stuck on the suggestion...she wants to name the baby after a tree?"

"Yes, she does," she affirmed, laughing slightly at the thought of it.

"And what did you say?"

"I asked Evie if she liked the name."

"And Evie said...?"

"That she thought it was a beautiful name; just like her name and Thea's name are," (Y/N) couldn't contain her smile as she repeated what the three year old had said, "I also told Thea that we'd have to talk to you before the name gets set in stone."

"Ahh, ok," Tommy responded, and (Y/N) was almost able to see him nodding as he spoke.

A few beats of silence passed before (Y/N) spoke again: "so shall I set it in stone?" she asked in a joking manner, curious to hear what his response would be.

A bit of a muffled noise came from the other line, and it just about made (Y/N) burst into giggles at the thought of a facial expression he was wearing now. "We'll have to talk about it more when I come home," Tommy decided to end that topic of conversation in a cordial manner, deciding to move along to asking his wife what she'd been up to today.

(Y/N) happily told him about some of the things she'd been working on, talking to him for several more minutes with a wide smile on her face. She made her way into the master bedroom once the call was over, deciding to get ready to go to bed. The smile hadn't left her face as she found her way under the covers and turned the lamp off for the evening.

She had a strong feeling that Juniper was going to be the name of their third daughter.

"You'll make sure that my mum and the girls have all that they need here?" (Y/N) asked Frances for the umpteenth time as she and the older woman walked down the steps of the home. Tommy was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, and (Y/N)'s mother was standing with Thea and Evie on either side of her next to the entrance of the front room.

"Yes, Mrs. Shelby. I will have everything under control here," Frances assured her for the umpeenth time, a kind smile on her face.

"Are you sure? Because I...I can stay back a little while longer to make sure..."

"That's not needed, love. Frances will have everything under control," Tommy cut into his wife's statement, stepping towards her so that he could rest his hand against the small of her back.

"But, but what if they need, what if the girls need something that isn't easy to be found?" she stumbled over her words, her brain filled with fog from the pregnancy, which oddly made it go into hyperdrive to make sure everything was squared away before she left.

"We'll find it, sweetheart, I'm sure," her mum assured her, a smile on her face, "you two need to go now...you're due."

"Ok...ok," (Y/N) nodded, taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly as she glanced at Tommy before walking over to where her girls were standing. "Mummy and daddy have to go to the hospital now, but we promise we'll be home in just a few days," she explained to them, her voice soft; tone comforting.

The two children nodded their heads before they both gave their mother a hug and told her that they loved her. (Y/N) was just about tearing up when she stepped away from them.

"All ready?" Tommy asked, standing by the door with Frances next to him.

"Yes," (Y/N) breathed out, quickly wiping away her tears as she nodded and moved over to her mother for one last hug. She smiled as the older woman whispered words of encouragement, and that smile grew as she stepped back to look at the three members of her family that would be staying behind as she and Tommy went to the hospital to have their third baby. "We'll be home soon," she said to no one in particular as she moved over to where Tommy was standing. He helped her put her arms through her coat before leading her out of the house; Frances trailing behind with their suitcases.

The tears really started to fall as she heard their girls yelling their goodbyes to their parents, and Tommy made sure to take hold of her hand and give it a squeeze as he got in beside her and noticed her state.

Thea and Evie watched as the car rolled out of the driveway, waiting until it was completely out of sight to finally go back into the house. It wasn't until they returned to where some of their toys were situated in the front room that Thea noticed her little sister's forlorn expression.

"What's wrong, Evie?" she questioned, her brows furrowed as she tried to figure out what was wrong with her sister.

"I'm really scared, Thea," Evie wasted no time in sharing what she was feeling, "mummy's going to the hospital...only sick people go to the hospital. Is...is mummy sick?" she worked through her thoughts, hiccuping at the end, tears welling up in her eyes as she thought of her mother being sick.

"No, Evie, mummy's not sick," Thea was quick to dispel her worries, shaking her head as she spoke.

"Then why is she going to the hospital?" Evie asked through a frown.

"She's going to the hospital to bring baby Juniper home," Thea confidently stated.

Even though there hadn't been much more talk of what baby number three's name was going to be, Thea had been calling it either baby Juniper or baby Junie since she asked the question during dinner those few months back.

"How do you know that?" Evie had another question.

"Because she went to the hospital to bring you home," Thea answered like it was the easiest question in the world, setting her hands on Evie's shoulders after she finished speaking, "mummy's going to be ok, and the next time that we see her, baby Junie's going to be with her," she carefully explained, looking right into her sister's eyes as she spoke. "Are you excited to meet baby Junie?" she asked then.

"I am," Evie agreed through her sniffles, nodding her head for extra effect.

"Me too," Thea agreed, nodding also as a smile formed on her face. She loved being the big sister and making Evie feel better. "Do you want to play with dollies now?" she then suggested they go play. Evie nodded her head, wiping both of her eyes with the backs of her hand before Thea dropped her hands so that they could both go over to where their dolls were.

Rose, (Y/N)'s mother, sat on the couch and listened to the girls work through Evie's fears together. Her heart was swelling from the kindness and compassion that Thea was showing. It was so sweet to see the young girl help her sister work through her sad feelings.

True to what Thea had said, (Y/N) and Tommy returned home a few days later with a new member of the family in tow. Much like the last time, there was a 'Welcome Home' sign hung from the balcony in the foyer. This one, however, was a bit more personal...the girls had worked hard at creating it while their parents were at the hospital.

(Y/N) was first greeted by her mother, who came out of the front room the second she heard the door open. "Welcome home, darling," Rose greeted her daughter, a wide smile present on her face as she looked from her to the pink bundle that she was cradling in her arms. "Another girl?" she asked, joy filling her words.

"Another girl," (Y/N) confirmed, a teary-eyed smile present on her face. She glanced over her shoulder just as Tommy handed over the suitcases to Frances and came to stand by her side.

"Congratulations," Rose stated, looking between both of the parents as they smiled back at her.

"Where are the girls at?" Tommy asked, noticing that it had been too quiet in the room so far.

"In the front room. I'll go fetch them," Rose answered before she turned and hurried to go get Thea and Evie.

The sound of fast footsteps sounded off of the hardwood seconds later, and soon enough, the two girls were rushing into the foyer. "Mummy! Daddy!" they exclaimed in unison, excited to have their parents home again.

"It's so good to see you two again, my loves," (Y/N) greeted them with a wide smile, her heart just about ready to burst as they ran over to where she and Tommy were standing. They noticed that she was holding the baby in her arms, so they went to hug Tommy's legs first, making him bend down so that he could hug them both properly. "I hope you were both good for gigi while we were gone," she said then, looking from the girls over to her mother, who nodded her head with a smile on her face.

"Is that...is that baby sissy?" Evie asked once the hugs were over, awe present in her eyes as she stared up at the pink bundle.

"It is," (Y/N) nodded her head, turning slightly to the side to give the girls a better view of their sister.

"Do you like the sign that we made her?" Thea asked, a bright smile present on her face as she pointed up to the sign she was talking about. The words 'Welcome Home' were written in colorful letters, and there were pretty flowers, butterflies, and trees drawn all around them. If you looked carefully, you could also see where Thea had written 'Baby Juniper' in the bottom corner of the sign.

"I do...very much," (Y/N) nodded, laughing softly as she noticed the added words at the bottom, "would you like to meet your baby sister?" she asked as she looked at the girls again.

"Yes!" the children exclaimed in unison.

"Let's go into the front room so that we can sit with her," Tommy suggested, his heart also just about ready to burst as he watched all of his girls interact. Both Thea and Evie agreed with their father's suggestion, and the family then began walking to the front sitting room.

"Mummy..." Thea's voice stopped them before they could officially leave the foyer. She waited until both (Y/N) and Tommy were looking at her to continue with her question: "what's baby sissy's name?"

(Y/N)'s heart just about burst from her daughter's innocent question. She tried to contain her smile as she looked from the girls over to Tommy, seeing if he was ready to reveal the secret. He gave her a slight nod, and she nodded back before looking at Thea again. She held the dramatic pause for a few more moments, seeing the anticipation noticeably bubbling up in her daughters' features. Then, finally, she spoke again, "baby sissy's name is Juniper Anne Shelby."

The second the name graced Thea's ears, she began jumping for joy. The excitement quickly turned into tears of happiness as she realized that her biggest love was now the name of her littlest sister. It was the perfect fit.

"Are you happy, sweetheart?" (Y/N) questioned, now tearing up as she saw Thea's display of emotions.

"I'm so happy, mummy," Thea answered through her tears of joy, accepting the hug that Evie was already giving her.

"Would you like to come meet your sister?" Tommy asked from where he was sitting on the couch, the baby nestled contently in his arms.

"Yes," Thea answered, nodding her head vigorously as she moved over to (Y/N) to give her a big hug. "Thank you for naming her Juniper, mummy," she said, her words muffled into the fabric of (Y/N)'s dress, but everyone heard them loud and clear.

"We wanted her to have a beautiful name...just like your's and Evie's," (Y/N) smiled as she held Thea at arms-length. "Go on...meet her," she then nodded to the couch where Tommy, and now Evie, were sitting.

Thea only nodded before she hurried over to the empty spot on the couch, sitting on it and scooting as close to Tommy and the baby as she could without crowding the bundle. "Hello, baby Junie," she said softly as she reached out and ran her index finger over the baby's cheek, "I'm your big sister, Thea, and I'm so happy that you're part of my family."

Her words squeezed at everyone's hearts, and (Y/N) had to work hard not to just burst into tears as she watched her three daughters together.

Tommy looked away from Thea to find (Y/N) standing a few feet from the couch. He clocked her expression, which promptly made a lump form in his throat. Being surrounded by his girls filled him with an amount of love that he'd never experienced before. He didn't know what he'd done to deserve this beautiful family that he and (Y/N) had created, but was certain that he wouldn't have it any other way. He was a girl dad, and that was probably his greatest accomplishment.
