Chapter 2: Krampus 

“We have many preparations to do and very little time,” Rosa Yaxley said, flipping a white board showing several sketches from flower bouquets to table settings, and photographs of what Dawn assumed, were traditional Alderlian wedding attire.  

“Uh…” Dawn started but was silenced by a stern look from Pince. 

“The Bavarian orchestra will start precisely at your entrance with the release of the Barbary doves.” Rosa explained, producing a pointer stick from somewhere and demonstrating all the items she mentioned. “South African wildflowers will adorn your path down the aisle.” 

“Oh…” Dawn uttered. When the queen had said that Dawn would have a say, he hadn’t realized she had meant that she and Miss Yaxley had already planned everything and that he would just have to sit here and nod dutifully. 

Rosa continued: “I mean, you won't, and I mean it, you won't be able to take a step without a Namaqualand daisy between the floor and your shoes.” 

Dawn was beginning to really see that she didn’t particularly want to be in this position. He wondered if the queen had made her, as a punishment for her transgressions last year. 

“Hmm…” he simply said. 

“There will be a roast pig from each of Alderly's seven provinces. Montrachet Grand Cru will be in every goblet,” Rosa went on. “But of greatest importance... Is your outfit.” 

“Is that what those are for?” Dawn asked, vaguely motioning towards the pictures of clothes. The designs looked like somewhere between a mix of Bavarian and Slovenian folk clothing with something distinctly… Christmassy about them. 

“Is it customary to wear traditional dress to weddings?” 

“Not for at least a hundred years but the queen felt that it was important to show how committed to our culture and traditions you are.” 

“The queen… look,” Dawn started, and went on despite Pince’s warning glances. “I am committed. I’ve never been this committed to a goddamn thing in my entire life, but I feel like this might not go over well with the… well you know, the public.” 

“Whyever not?” Pince chimed in. 

“Well, I am a foreigner and maybe they will want to see me actually participate in their culture before taking on its symbols?” Dawn posited it as a question, but it really wasn’t. “Especially when this is just a publicity stunt, and I didn’t even pick the outfit.” 

Rosa bit her lip but Pince went on: “Nonsense, of course you will wear the traditional costume.” 

“I was really hoping that I could wear something… simple, something that’s a little more me.” 

“What?” asked Pince. 

“I mean these outfits are beautiful,” Dawn continued. “But I don’t want to play a part for my own wedding. Maybe I could wear one of these a year from now to an event where they’re actually worn in still?” 

“I don’t think you understand the sort of situation we’re in,” Pince said. “Half the country is in an uproar because we haven’t seen this kind of financial hardships since the war, not to mention their monarch is pretty much going against every strong held value they’ve been instilled with since birth.” 

“I sympathize with the depression, not so much with the homophobia,” said Dawn and noticed Rosa just barely concealing a chuckle. Maybe Dawn stood a chance after all. 

~ 

“This protocol is driving me crazy. It's like Bridezilla in reverse,” Dawn complained later in a video call to Rocky and Pandora. 

“Forgive me if I don't ooze sympathy from the night security desk of Noodle Chalet's corporate office,” said Rocky. Ever since the downfall of Beat Now, Rocky had been a security guard at Noodle Chalet, and it wasn’t lost on Dawn how his problems might probably seem somewhat quaint. 

“Hey, at least you've got a job,” Pandora chimed in. “I've been living with my parents for the last three months.” 

“Well, that’s tragic,” said Rocky. 

“Yeah, ever since Now Beat shut down.” 

“Now Beat?” asked Dawn. “It was Beat Now.” 

Dawn was happy he was no longer working for Kerry Crouch, but he couldn’t help but miss having a normal job and normal problems. Especially with Irma Pince breathing down his neck at every turn. 

“Whatever,” said Pandora with a shrug. “It’s gone now.” 

“But Dawn, you’re having some royal pains?” asked Rocky. 

Dawn chuckled. It was a pain just to be one, it seemed. “Well yeah, but I mean…”  

“Have you talked to Quincey about any of this?” Pandora cut in. 

“I haven’t seen him today.” 

“They know how to keep a king busy,” Rocky said. 

Dawn knew things were going to be busy, but he truly felt alone in the castle. He wasn’t even allowed to spend time with Tess and his dad, or at least not as much as he would have preferred. He was a little bit worried that this was how the rest of his life was going to look. Just protocol and event after event with only small respites in-between to actually hang out with his husband-to-be. He’d next be seeing Quincey when they all headed to town for his speech, and he didn’t expect there to be a lot of time for chit-chat. 

“Just hurry up and get here already,” he said. 

“Counting down the seconds, mate,” Pandora said. 

~ 

Rosa had left Dawn with a folder full of designs for the wedding. Dawn flipped through it, examining the plans with growing dread. This whole ordeal didn’t feel at all like a wedding he would want for himself. Not that he had ever thought about getting married before this past year. He almost wished he and Quincey had just eloped. He’d rather have Elvis marry them in Vegas than whatever this was shaping up to be. Dawn slammed the folder shut and let it fall on the bed. He was going to have to complain to someone who would understand, or he’d end up committing arson. Or worse. 

~ 

When Dawn went looking for Olympia later, he found her in the middle of an argument with her mother, the queen. 

“You must understand that his whole thing is frivolous,” Isabella was saying. 

“Well mother, it’s important to me so I don’t particularly care.” 

“This is about the image we portray to the world,” Isabella tried. “A princess can’t be an actress.” 

“I was in many plays as a child.” 

“That was different.” 

“This is for a good cause.” 

“It doesn’t matter. You know what kind of situation we’re in with your past actions and your brother’s life choices.” 

“It’s not a life choice.” 

Isabella sighed. “You know what I meant.” 

“No, I don’t, and I’m also doing the play, I don’t care what you think.” 

“Don’t you speak to me with that tone, young lady.” 

Dawn, suddenly realizing he was quite rudely eavesdropping, stepped into the room, fully pretending as if he hadn’t been listening. “Oh, hello Your Majesty, Your Highness.” 

“Dawn, great timing, mother was just about to wring my neck,” said Olympia. 

“Olympia–,” the queen attempted. 

“I have to talk to you Dawn, if you don’t mind,” Olympia said and walked up to Dawn, grabbing his arm. “Preferably somewhere away from her…” 

“Alright…” said Dawn, casting an apologetic glance at Queen Isabella. They had their differences, but Dawn was determined to get along with his mother-in-law.  

~ 

Olympia led him to a smaller room, let go of his arm and dramatically fell into one of the priceless antique armchairs. 

“What was that about?” Dawn asked. 

“She thinks it’s common to do the play.” 

“Oh, of course she does.” 

“But I’m still going to do it,” Olympia continued. “I can’t wait for you to see it, it’s kind of like an arthouse reimagining.” 

“Oh, wow, alright,” said Dawn.  

“You could come see the dress rehearsal?” 

“If I can get away from my own dress rehearsals…”  

“Right, how’s that going, anyway?” Olympia asked and sat up straight. She had messed up her hair, slumping onto the chair. 

“Well… It’s going.” 

“You let me know if you need any help.” 

Dawn knew he needed all the help he could get, but after hearing the conversation between Olympia and the queen, he wasn’t sure it was the best idea to rope Olympia into it. 

“I’ll keep that in mind, thank you, O.” 

~ 

That afternoon, the royal retinue made its way to town. Quincey’s speech took place in front of Alderly’s House of Parliament and the square in front of it was packed. Aside from the adoring crowd, though, there was a smaller but no less attention-grabbing group of protesters behind them. Dawn, ever the journalist, kept an eye on them. They were holding signs proclaiming the bad financial situation in the country and demanding to be paid or get their jobs back. Miss Pince, standing next to Dawn, was glaring at the crowd with hostility, when Quincey took to the podium. While many cheered, waving Alderlian flags, the protesters booed. Dawn shifted his weight from one foot to another uncomfortably. 

“Behind me stands an enduring symbol of Alderly's historical strength. Before me, and all of us, lies our current revitalization project, a symbol of Alderly's shining future,” Quincey started. From Pince’s sudden shift in posture, Dawn deduced that the speech was written by her.  

“For crops to flourish, rain must fall. Likewise, today's temporary hardships will soon spur on a bountiful future for all.” 

Amongst the cheers, Dawn heard someone shout out: “What about our jobs?” 

“The country's going broke!” 

“Shame on the king!” 

Security had to step in to rein in the protesters. Quincey couldn’t have missed the incident, but he continued like he had, as Dawn was sure he had been instructed to do. 

“A new Alderlian chapter is about to begin. And I'm honoured and excited to share that journey with each and every one of you. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.” 

~ 

After Quincey got off the stage, Lainey offered him a bottle of water. 

“Thank you.” 

“That went… alright,” she said. At least she was honest.

“I feel like a total fraud reading out that propaganda,” Quincey said with a sigh. 

“Your ideas make perfect sense,” said Lainey. “I just don't understand why they're not working.” 

“Neither do I.” 

Dawn, pained by Quincey’s tired and slightly pathetic expression and sick of not knowing the details of this initiative, piped in: “When numbers don't add up, there's usually a reason.” 

Quiney and Lainey turned to him, and Dawn continued: “I’m going to be prince consort, I want to contribute, that’s why I’m coming to the meeting tomorrow.”  

“The queen said you would be exceedingly busy with wedding preparations so you wouldn’t be able to make it,” said Lainey. 

Dawn and Quincey exchanged looks and said almost in unison: “What?” 

“We should be doing everything we can to help the kingdom, right?” Dawn asked. 

“Absolutely.” 

“Maybe there should be a revitalization effort to bring the royal family into the 21st century, too…” 

That’s when Pince came back, saying: “An excellent speech, Your Majesty. Now I need you to come meet the press with your most confident smiles…” 

~ 

After returning to the palace, Dawn, Quincey, and Olympia had tea with the queen. It was an exceedingly uncomfortable hour to top off an exceedingly uncomfortable event. 

“The press office assures me your speech today will do a world of good,” said Isabella from across the table. 

“Less than a year into my reign,” Quincey started. “I feel like I'm running the kingdom into the ground.” 

“Oh, you put much too much pressure on yourself.” 

“It's my initiative, mother.” 

“Quentin,” said the queen. “As you know, your father first proposed the need for such a program, but I oversaw the implementation, with the country’s full backing.” 

“Yes, but���” 

“Economic fluctuation is a fact of life,” Isabella stated and set her teacup back on its settee. 

“Yes, but I can't help but feel father would be disappointed.” 

“Oh, nonsense! You mustn't let this put a strain on the season. Or the wedding,” said Isabella and turned her attention to Dawn. “I hear the stress has been getting to you.” 

Olympia took a deep breath and said: “Can we not have a single conversation without it being observed and reported?” 

“Darling,” said the queen, laying a hand on her daughter's arm. Olympia withdrew, annoyed. “I just want all of you to be happy.” 

“Well, it would help if you stopped meddling into our business,” Olympia suggested, clearly running out of patience. “We’re all adults here, after all.” 

Isabella sighed. “I’ve decided to resume my active role in the governing of this country. In particular to help with the financial difficulties.” 

“What?” asked Olympia. Quincey didn’t say anything and had an unreadable expression on his face. Dawn still felt too out of the loop with the country’s goings-on to say anything. 

“But you seemed happy to retire?” argued Olympia. 

“Only because I found it too difficult to go on without your father,” Isabella explained. 

“Mother…” Quincey finally spoke up. “Thank you.” 

~ 

That evening, everyone gathered together to decorate Queen Isabella’s Christmas tree. Dawn and Quincey’s families all sitting together in the same room gave Dawn some kind of whiplash. He never imagined this would be his life. While Tess and Olympia chose matching baubles, Dawn sat next to Quincey on the couch closest to the fireplace and took his hand. Ever since the speech, he’d been in low spirits and Dawn couldn’t exactly blame him. 

“Hi,” he said. 

“Hi,” replied Quincey. “I feel like I should apologize.” 

“For what?” asked Dawn. 

“For making you feel left out.” 

“Am I feeling left out?” asked Dawn, incredulously. 

“Are you?” 

“Well, a little.” 

“The pressures I'm facing as king are no excuse. Can you forgive me?” 

“I really would like to help.” 

Quincey smiled and squeezed Dawn’s hand. “Mother’s help will come in handy; she has a few decades of experience on this front.” 

“Then I’m glad she’s decided to postpone her retirement.” 

Dawn wasn’t exactly sure if he was glad but if the queen’s involvement would help Quincey’s workload, then it wouldn’t be all bad. He wished he could be more of use and that he would have already started his studies in political science. He had applied immediately after realizing he was going to actually have to do some governing, but he’d been advised to postpone his enrollment by a year. He’d done a semester of it already in university during his second year, so he wasn’t a complete beginner but now he was determined to get a Master’s. He had had fun writing his blog this past year, but he wanted to do something that could do some actual good in the world. 

 Suddenly a palace aide entered the room, looking quite disheveled.  

“Your Majesties, you have a guest,” he said. 

“Whoever could it be?” wondered the queen out loud. Dawn thought it must be Krampus because who else would it be showing up to the palace and causing a ruckus at this hour.

“Oh? Send them in,” instructed Quincey and got up.

After a few moments, a man entered the room. A very familiar man whom Dawn had been looking forward to never seeing again.  

“Evander,” said Olympia venomously. “What are you doing here?”  

Krampus indeed.

[ssygir]

Whoooo!!!! Chapter 15 of Turnabout Feelings y’all! If you were on the edge of your seat from the Chapter 14 cliffhanger, you didn’t have to wait too long!!!

Summary:  Instead of finally getting to consummate their new relationship, Phoenix and Miles arrive back at their hotel room only to find themselves held at gunpoint. Armed with nothing but their wits, can the two of them work together to find a way out and protect the person that Phoenix loves the most?

[are-you-reddie-for-it]

Any fic recs??

I honestly don’t read a lot of fics, I read a lot of prompts, hc lists, and oneshots. However, I do have a few that I really like. For instance, I really love @reddieforlove‘s Phone Sex Hotline AU. I love both parts, I’ve read each like 3 or 4 times each and cried each time.

Pt. 1 “heaven isn’t too far away”

Pt. 2 “let me hold your heart (let me be the one)”

They’re both about Richie and Eddie meeting through a phone sex hotline and it’s just, I can’t even describe them. I love them so much and the end of part 2 always has me in tears (in a good way)

Another fic I’ve read that I thoroughly enjoyed and have read multiple times as well is by @tozier-boy and its called “How things are supposed to be”. THIS ONE IS ABOUT STRIPPER RICHIEEEEEEE. Eddie and Myra are about to get married and things change when Eddie meets Richie. Plus there’s cheating on Myra in this fic so that’s always fun.

Another one I love that hasn’t been finished (unfortunately) is @gettingreddie‘s (i think this is their handle????) “How To Make A Short, Angry, Low-key-Freaky Boy Fall In Love With Richie Tozier”. This story, whoooo boy, it’s good. That’s all I’m going to really say because if I say any more about it, it might spoil the story. It’s just good okay. Very much worth the read.

Um I haven’t read much of @tinyarmedtrex‘s fics, I’ve read a lot of her one shots etc. but her story “Cruise Control” FUCKING SLAPS. I highly recommend if you haven’t read it already. It however, isn’t finished yet but nevertheless should be read anyway. That story is about Eddie going on a singles cruise ship and meets Richie, who works on the ship.

There’s also “sinner boy” by @onlyreddie. I guess it’s only a one shot but it’s left on a cliffhanger and I want more of it, but it still great even if there’s not anything else added to it. This one is just straight up filth and I love it. It’s good.

Then there’s my love @richietoaster who is an amazing writer. She has “I’ll Go Wherever You Go” there’s unfortunately only three chapters but they’re still good. And Sara was telling me about it, I really can’t wait until she updates it. In this one Eddie’s the new kid and he meets a girl named Allie who happens to be the sister of Richie. Also Eddie is super sassy so we love that.

I have a few other ones in mind but I really need to do my homework now instead of writing this haha. I hope if anyone does look at this list they enjoy these amazing stories as much as I do.

[azenpal]

dear lord please dont do this to me dont make me like him omyghad your playing with my heart too much 😩 i dont even know what to feel anymore about hotch whoooo 😮‍💨 but i would like to congratulate reader for taking the reigns because i needed that for my sanity 🥵 and that cliffhanger? took a damn deep breath to calm myself damn mam 😌

Games We Play [Hotch x Reader]

Chapter 10:

A/N: hello, I’m back he he he he. So sorry about the wait AGAIN, but this chapter was so hard to write, you guys have no idea but I wanted to put something out for the festive period so I hope this pleases.

Warnings: mentions of male anatomy at the end, reader just flipping the script, a lot of swearing, tension, bickering, Hotch surprising us all, he may be nicer than he lets on. Dog puns and holiday themed tension. Close proximity and Hotch may have a thing for for degradation.

———

November:

Hotch arrives at your place early on a Saturday when you’re still half asleep, ostensibly to help you move. A throwaway comment he’d heard JJ make a few nights ago over your cameras about a fake passport and escaping to Prague sets his alarm bells off. Your skittish behaviour notwithstanding, in the interests of making sure his new fiancée doesn’t run away to Europe, he hand delivers you to the chauffeured car out front with your day bag in his hands.

“Here.” He tosses you an iPad once you’re inside. The screen shows a tabloid cover with a posed picture of the two of you, JJ and Rossi from the retreat last weekend.

Keep reading

[absolutelybifurious]

whoooo i wrote another chapter... after you guys all were so nice i feel like the PRESSURE IS ON. so i hope YOU GUYS LIKE IT.

A quick little review of The Rookie Episode 9: The Squeeze!

I can see that everything's starting to come together and y'alllll it's gonna be wild o.o :D

Wait I need to watch the promo for episode 10 one second

Uh ohhh

UMM??

Yeahh she kind of does though

Uhh ohhh 😬😬

The FBI :OOO??!! HI MY GUY :DDD!!!

GARZAA WHOOOO 🥳🥳🥳🥰

Uh ohhh

Y'all how is all of this gonna happen in one episode o.o

Where are they??

NOLAN??

Sir??!?!!

O.O XD anywayy

Yeah! I'm really excited to see how everything comes together, though y'all I be stressinggg a bit xdd. I think everyone's gonna survive but I definitely think there's gonna be a cliffhanger.

Monica is a terrifying villain. I hate her and sometimes she's just annoying, but you've gotta admit she always has a plan, and is really good at talking herself out of things. Just seeing the way she manipulates all the villains, and everyone honestly but especially them, making them believe she's just a smaller player. Some of them know, and then she just has to be as honest and humble as possible and not interact with them much. Because she may not be actively running her own crime ring, but she knows everyone and not everyone knows her. Like said in the promo, she has spies everywhere 😬😬. Honestly gotta love the planning sometimes though xDD.

I'm so glad we got that cop out of here. Leave Tim, and the others, alone sir xdd. Though I'm sure there's more, even if Blaire can't get to them right now. And, of course, she's wanting to defect. Idk how genuine she is but I think she's in over her head for sure, so I'm hoping she really means to. But I don't know if she'll get the chance 😭. Or be brave enough, based on what she said, which is fair though.

Y'all I be STRESSINGGG about Lucy o.o. Girl is SO close to being found out, I just hope there's backup when she is 😭😭🥺💔.

Angela and Nyla absolutely slayed as always 😌😌. Then trying to figure out as little as possible that they could tell Monica was hilarious xD. I love them so much lol <33.

I LOVED that scene with Wesley and the hitman :D. I just love my boy 🥰🥰, and it's so good to see him again. You know, in more of a significant way, and involved in the drama xD. Also he absolutely slayed that :)) :D 😌😌. Don't underestimate him y'all :p (talking more to the characters than y'all lol, you guys get it 😌😌🥰). Anyway, he ate that up, and I hope they can keep their nanny xdd. She seems really good lol.

OH YEAH AND OSCAR. SIR YOU BETTER NOT. But also. . . wopez angst 😏👀😌🥰. Anyway OHHH GOSH he's another thing to worry about o.o 😭😭😬. I'm a little scared y'all xd. Great to see him again though :D.

Overall, I loved the episode, I thought it was great :D. I'm nervous for the next one because stuff is definitely going to go down, but I'm sure it's gonna be fun. I just hope everyone ends up okay <3. Anyway, I really loved seeing everyone's individual plots slowing coming together this episode, even as they didn't realize it. It was so well done and I really enjoyed it :D.

So yeah! I loved the episode, I thought it was amazing. It was definitely stressful, but a lot of fun. I'm excited for the next one! This has been my review of. . .
