[Sirius' Lab]
Shin: This is awesome. I canât believe itâs really deadâŚ
Air: ⌠Shin�
Shin: Air! Youâre awake!
Air: You⌠Your hair⌠And your eyesâŚ
Shin: What are you so surprised about? Yours changed too.
Air: âŚWhat?
Shin: Oh, but your eyes are still the same. âŚMaybe they have to turn red for it to work?
Shin: Red eyes and white hair, the same as SiriusâŚ
Air: Ngh⌠GahâŚ
Shin: Whoa, donât push yourself. Go back to sleep. Youâre still in pain, right?
Air: We need to get out of hereâŚ
Shin: What?
Air: That guy⌠Sirius is dangerous. We never shouldâve gone hereâŚ
Air: Thereâs still time⌠We can still go backâŚ
Air: We can return to the surface⌠ShinâŚ
Shin: Fuck that.
Air: âŚShin?
Shin: Youâre saying that now? That we never shouldâve gone hereâŚ?
Shin: That I messed up? That I never shouldâve taken Siriusâ offer?
Shin: Oh, I see whatâs happening now⌠Youâre just mad my experiment was a success and yours wasnât. Is that it?
Shin: Newsflash! But I donât have any reason to leave this place. Not to mention Sirius told me to stay here.
Air: Donât trust him! We might have survived this time, but who knows whatâll happen in the future!
Air: You donât want to go through that pain again, do youâŚ? It might be even worse next time!
Shin: âŚWhatever it is, I can deal with it.
Shin: I⌠I want to be with someone who needs me.
Air: ShinâŚ
Shin: âŚ
Air: Is that⌠why you came here�
Shin: âŚYeah, it is.

âĄâĽâĄ
[A little while later]
Shin: Zzz⌠ZzzâŚ
Air: (...So it wasnât until he returned to the Lost Garden he once forsook that he found his place.)
Air: (He wanted to be useful all this timeâŚ)
Air: (He was starving for itâŚ)
Air: (...Thereâs nothing I can do to satisfy his hunger is there?)
Air: (If thatâs the case, then thereâs no reason for me to stay hereâ)
Sirius: Leaving so soon?
Air: âŚ!
Sirius: I have no intentions to stop you. You can do as you please.
Sirius: However, before that, thereâs something I must do first.
Air: âŚWhat are you planning?
Sirius: You donât have to be afraid. This wonât hurt like the experiment.
Air: HnghâŚ
Sirius: I wouldnât run if I were you.
Air: âŚ
Sirius: Hehe, there we go. I fully understand this procedure, so thereâs no chance of failure.
Air: (What is he doing⌠What did he do to me�)
Sirius: Now then, I wonder how far I should take this...
Sirius: Itâd be a waste to just let you go, wouldnât it?Â
Sirius: Since weâve already come all this way⌠Perhaps I ought to send a wolf after you.Â

Sirius: âŚShin. Youâre awake.
Air: Hh!
*[Runs off]*

Britain has been developing a laser air defense system called DragonFire. Originally it hadn't been scheduled for deployment until 2027 but the war in Ukraine may offer the UK an opportunity to test its capabilities by seeing how well DragonFire takes out Russian drones fired at Ukraine.
The DragonFire weapon, which is expected to be in service by 2027 at the latest, can hit a target the size of a ÂŁ1 coin from a kilometre away. Reforms aimed at speeding up procurement mean that DragonFire will now be operational five years earlier than planned. Defence Secretary Grant Shapps travelled down to the Porton Down military research base in Salisbury in an attempt to speed development up even further "in order for Ukrainians perhaps to get their hands on it". "I've come down to speed up the production of the DragonFire laser system because I think given that there's two big conflicts on, one sea-based, one in Europe, this could have huge ramifications to have a weapon capable particularly of taking down drones," Mr Shapps told journalists. "And so what I want to do is speed up what would usually be a very lengthy development procurement process, possibly up to ten years, based on my conversations this morning, to a much shorter timeframe to get it deployed, potentially on ships, incoming drones, and potentially on land. "Again, incoming drones, but it doesn't take much imagination see how that could be helpful in Ukraine for example." Laser-directed energy weapons can strike at the speed of light, using an intense light beam to cut through their target. They are a lower-cost alternative to using missiles to strike down drones, costing only about ÂŁ10 per shot.
You can't argue with cheap, fast, and accurate. Ukrainians are quick learners, highly motivated, and amazing innovators. DragonFire and Ukraine would be a great match.
The new procurement model, which comes into effect this week, is aimed at speeding up the process of getting cutting-edge developments in military capability like DragonFire out on to the field. "It's designed to not wait until we have this at 99.9% perfection before it goes into the field, but get it to sort of 70% and then get it out there and then... develop it from there," Mr Shapps said. Asked whether the system might be ready earlier than 2027, he said: "Because I'm here, I've taken the opportunity to arrange additional conversations with colleagues about whether we could speed it up even faster, very much using the integrated procurement model of saying there's a war on - let's say that it didn't have to be 100% perfect in order for Ukrainians perhaps to get their hands on it, can we do any better - but 2027 is still the date as of this moment. "But of course I'll look to see what we can do to speed up."
Ukraine may be the equivalent of a beta tester for DragonFire. Experience in Ukraine would be used for improvements to the weapons system.
So far, laser defense systems are being developed particularly in connection with naval uses. Here's a vid from late 2021 which outlines the potential uses for and challenges to use of such systems.

It makes me grin to recall that the High Valyrian word for DragonFire is Dracarys.

I've been getting nosebleeds constantly all week because every time it happens after like three hours I start thinking "hmmm I should blow my nose to remove all the dried blood ^-^ there will be NO consequences" and then. Well. You're not going to believe this.

Why does this small creature that lives in my house get so Hangry?
#Helios#mine son#cat mom problems#he shouts and occasionally hisses when trying to get me to feed him#I have never had a cat do that before (the hissing to be fed)#although hiss is a relative term since he doesn't make noise just a passage of air#(admittedly it's probably because he grew up on the streets. Thug Life and all that. But still)

Sofabed style, a hammock will do. 0-50% on the calm to intense scale. Speaking of scales, this mix this mix is supposed to follow the harmony wheel starting at Gm and ending at C#. Sit, or lay back and go...

"Helio da Silva, a retired business executive from Brazil, single-handedly planted over 41,000 trees in his hometown of Sao Paulo over the last two decades.
Flying over the Brazilian metropolis of Sao Paulo, itâs tough to miss the 3.2-kilometers-long and 100-meter-wide green strip of trees wedged between two of the cityâs busiest roads. It is known as Tiquatira Linear Park, and it is the work of a single man who worked tirelessly for over 20 years in order to transform a previously dilapidated area into an actual jungle within the urban jungle that is Sao Paulo. Originally from the town of Promissao, about 500km from Sao Paulo, Helio da Silva was a successful business executive for many years, but after retiring, he took it upon himself to transform the degraded banks of the Tiquatira River into a green oasis for his community. He started planting trees there in 2003 and hasnât stopped since.
73-year-old da Silva recently told AFP that he wanted to leave a legacy to the city that adopted him decades ago. Within the first four years of his epic project, he single-handedly planted 5,000 trees in an area that had long been abandoned and known to be frequented by drug dealers and users. His impressive feat prompted the municipality of Sao Paulo to recognize his efforts and acknowledge the area as the first linear park in Sao Paulo. This only emboldened da Silva, who continued planting native trees.
By 2020, Helio had planted more than 25,047 trees over a 3.2-km-long area, achieving a survival rate of 88 percent. For every 12 trees, he planted a fruit-bearing species in the hopes of attracting birds and animals to his green oasis. His bet paid off, as according to the municipality, 45 types of birds have been identified in the park. Today, the Tiquatira Linear Park numbers over 41,000 individual trees, and Helio da Silva doesnât plan on stopping planting until he reaches at least 50,000 of them.
âMy motivation comes from the trees themselves because trees give us flowers and fruits, absorb rainwater, attract birds and provide us with wonderful shade and fresh air,â da Silva told Common Earth.
The retired executive estimates that he spent about $7,000 per year on his tree-planting efforts since 2022, but the way he sees it, it was a worthwhile investment for himself, his family and the whole of Sao Paulo. Plus, he saved a lot of money by planting the trees himself.
Once labeled as crazy for spending most of his time planting trees in an area most people avoided, Helio da Silva is now hailed as a local hero. He sometimes receives help from like-minded nature lovers, but he is still the driving force behind this amazing project. Every Sunday, he comes to Tiquatira Park to plant more trees.
Over the years, the city gym and playground equipment, tables, benches, toilets, and Tiquatira Linear Park eventually became one of Sao Pauloâs most popular areas."

Masterlist

Hermes x GN!Reader x Odysseus [p]
EPIC: The Musical ~ Oneshot ~ Fluff
Words: 2.1K
Published: 11-5-2024
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A gentle puff of air blew through the vacant meadow, flowers brushing each other in a picturesque view. Within the center of the field, two souls lied together, laughing and gazing at the clouds with imagination.Â
âThat one reminds me of Argos,â Odysseus pointed up to a running puff of white above that loosely resembled said dog. âOh, I see it!â Penelope grinned, her smile shining brighter than Helios. A short distance away, under the shade of a tree, sat the best friend of the couple. With their backs against the tree, Y/n watched on emotionlessly. Their mind felt blank; witnessing the source of their love showing admiration to somebody else delivered a new type of pain to their chest. Y/n felt lost. Would they never be the first choice? Odysseus had known them for the entirety of both their lives, but the moment he met Penelope, he forgot all about Y/n. He was head over heels, claiming heâd marry the princess before he turned twenty. Sure, they stayed friends, but that wasnât enough for Y/n though theyâd never admit it. Y/n couldnât even blame Odysseus. Penelope looked like a goddess sent from Olympus. Anyone could mistake her for a divine being.Â
With a silent sigh, Y/n prepared to push themself to their feet and take their leave. But a new presence stopped them from rising up. Looking to their left side, Y/n saw another figure sitting beside them. âWow, really the third wheel, huh?â A cheery voice sounded from his mouth.
âWho are you?â Y/n asked, like any sane person would. âYou mean you donât recognize me? Your friend Ody would if you asked him,â the individual turned to face Y/n, giving them a good view of his identity. A metal helmet sat atop his head, adorned by smaller, brown, speckled wings. A mischievous grin was placed on his lips, with the rest of his face remaining covered by a shadow. Y/n leaned back slightly so the sun could pierce the shade better, revealing more of the man. A chiton made of the finest silk hung loosely from his shoulders, stopping at his knees. The male sat casually criss-crossed, his back propped against the same tree. A scepter sat on the ground beside him, holding two golden snakes and two glistening wings, power radiating off the item. Another point of interest for Y/nâs eyes were the sandals on his feet. Not in a footfetish type of interest, but intrigue with the fact wings fluttered like no big deal off the heels. Just as Y/n was going to breathe out his name, the guest spoke first. âIndeed, it is I, Hermes. God of messengers, travelers, luck, gambling, borders, animal husbandry, thieves, wit, speed, language, trades, commerce, athletes, merchants-â
The god continued rambling proudly about each of his domains as Y/nâs awe slowly fell into a deadpan. âI know you,â they cut off his boasting, not truly caring if it was rude. Thankfully, instead of being offended, the god merely grinned. âSo, Y/n, what are you doing out here? Away from the party?â Hermes had a teasing tone in his voice, gesturing to the two lovers ahead of them. Odysseus and Penelope had no knowledge of a god offering company to their closest friend. Y/n wanted to ask how he knew their name, but they figured it was some divine power thing.
âOdy wanted to spend time with Penelope, but he was too nervous to come alone. So he dragged me along. But I donât want to intrude on their moment together,â Y/n shrugged, looking at their friends.
The mischief god watched the mortal for a moment before a plan formed in his mind. âWell, I canât let such a beautiful soul be alone, now can I?â Y/n turned to face Hermes, an amused yet confused smile on their lips. âIâm sorry?â They inquired, not sure if they understood his words correctly. In response, Hermes stood up and held his hand out to help the mortal up too. âIf they have their moment together, then allow me to give you a moment for us.â The god had a gentle smile, keeping his hand out for them to grab. Raising an eyebrow, Y/n hesitantly took his offer and grabbed his hand. He pulled them up to stand beside him.
âSo, where are we going?â Y/n asked, looking into the forest behind them. Hermes just laughed in excitement.
âYouâll see!â
And before Y/n could utter another word, the god pulled them close and took off racing through the trees. The world whipped past them at lightning speed. Trees, rocks, roads, townsâeverything went by in a flash until suddenly it all paused.
Taking a deep breath, Y/n stepped away from the god. Their legs felt like brittle wood, threatening to give out at a simple breeze. Once they caught their breath, the mortal looked around to see them in the center stands of the nearby sports. Athletes were in the midst of competition down below, and nobody seemed to question two people just appearing. Hermes sat down on a stone slab and patted for Y/n to sit beside him. Doing so, the god offered them some grapes he may or may not have stolen from other mortals. âDid you choose this event just because youâre the god of athletes?â Y/n questioned with a small laugh, taking a grape to eat and watching the sports continue. Hermes responded with his own laugh, beaming at the person beside him. âWould you leave if I said yes?â Y/n pretended to think for a moment before turning to face him with a hum. âNo, but you better make this worth it,â they chuckled playfully, popping another grape to their mouth. ~~~~~ Hermes did truly make it worth it. So worth it that the two began going on adventures every day. From splashing around in rivers to exploring dark caves, the mortal and godâs friendship grew each day.
Anytime Y/n questioned themself in a mirror, Hermes would somehow maifest behind them to compliment their looks before going back to whatever job he had that day. âDahling, you look gorgeousâbeyond stunning, truly.â Was heard more than once
They would even find gifts sometimes, usually always stolen, waiting in their bedroom.
~~~~~
Currently, Y/n and the king of Ithaca were sitting in his bedroom, just talking like old friends. âSo, youâve been disappearing randomly only to come back in one state or another. Not to mention, youâve been much more upbeat lately. Whatâs going on?â Odysseus interrogated with a grin. Y/n stayed quiet for a moment. Could they tell their lifelong friend about the new soul in their life? Odysseus had a raised brow, waiting for a response. âCâmon, you know you can tell me anything.â He offered with a calmer smile. Y/nâs expression softened, and they sighed, deciding to speak the truth. "I met someone,â they began, trying to form the correct words. Something in Odysseusâ eyes changed at this revelation. His posture stiffened just for a moment before returning to his previously relaxed state. âAnd who may this 'someoneâ be?â The king continued, trying to get as much information as possible. With a quiet whisper, Y/n confessed. âHermes...â Their lips held a bashful smile as they looked away from their friends' eyes. The friend in question paused, blinking slowly to process the information. âHermes?! The god?!â He exclaimed with an open jaw. Y/n quickly shushed him, shoving their hands in his face. âSh sh sh! Shut up! Not so loud,â they hissed, taking their hands away carefully once Odysseus nodded in agreement. âYou know Hermes?â He continued to quiz. âDonât you?â Y/n raised an eyebrow, thinking back to the first conversation with the god. Hermes said that Odysseus would know who he was.
âWell, yeah, I do. But I didnât think you would too,â he tried to reason, although his point fell flat. âYou donât think a lot,â they retorted. Before Odysseus could try to fire back, a sudden breeze blew in from the open balcony. Looking over, a certain god stood against the stone railing with a familiar grin. âIf it isnât my two favorite mortals! If I wasnât mistaken, Iâd say I was the center of this discussion,â Hermes laughed, waltzing into the room. He ruffled Odysseusâ hair playfully before taking a stand next to Y/n.
âHermes.â Odysseus brought a hand up to fix his hair. The god just laughed again, wrapping an arm around Y/nâs shoulder to give them a side hug. The narrowing eyes of the soldier didnât go unnoticed by Hermes, brightening his smile.
âHey Hermes,â Y/n greeted warmly.
Odysseus didnât enjoy seeing his best friend so cozied up with another person. Even if that other person was a god who saved his life multiple times and also his great-grandfather. An idea began forming in his mind to get rid of the situation. âY/n, I think I remember seeing a show taking place in the city. You and I can go see it now before it finishes,â the king offered, casting a victorious grin to Hermes as Y/n gave their own smile. âThat sounds cool! Yeah, we can go!â Y/n moved away from Hermes' hug as the two mortals took their leave. Once they left, Hermes frowned and took his own leave back to his previous tasks for Olympus. ~~~~~ It didnât take long for a secret war to begin. Every moment, Y/n was in between two opposing sides. They were either with Odysseus one day and Hermes the next, or they were sitting in between both males who kept trying to one-up each other, which would eventually end in arguments.
âI mean honestly, darling, why spend your time with such a brute when you could have someone as divine as I?â âBRUTE?!â
âReally, Y/n, heâs the god of lies. If anything, his words mean nothing compared to mine.â âYour entire reputation is a lie.â âWell, I guess itâs just you and me, Y/nââ âOh, please. Thatâs more of a stress than a privilege.â âDid you hear something, dahling? Why, I canât seem to hear anything below FIVE FEET.â âOH HOW MATUREââ âIT IS!!â
This took place almost daily, and it acted as peak entertainment for Y/n. ~~~~~ Today, unlike any other, Y/n and Odysseus sat quietly in a familiar meadow. However, the king was being unnaturally quiet. Turning to face their friend, Y/n spoke up.
âOdy, are you alright?â Concern was clear in their voice as they waited patiently. Odysseus didnât make any notice of hearing their words for a minute before he finally answered.
âYouâre replacing me.â
Those words caught Y/n off guard. Odysseus was looking at the grassy field around them rather than meeting his companions eyes.
âWhat? No, Iâm not. What makes you say that?â They furrowed their eyebrows in worry, anxious for his reasoning.
âYou spend more time with him,â he hissed, speaking of the god like venom on his tongue.
âWell, maybe, but-â
âBUT NOTHING! Iâm supposed to be your best friend! Me! Not him. Itâs us against the world; we agreed on that years ago.â Odysseus turned to Y/n with a deep frown, his eyes showing unease. He had been betrayed time and time again before; he couldnât risk losing another friend.
Y/n stayed silent, stunned by his sudden outburst. Odysseus just looked back to the meadow, shame filling his soul. After a few moments, Y/n regained their bearings as sympathy and guilt covered their features.
âOdy,â they called softly, but he continued to look away. "Ody, look at me.â
Reluctantly, he looked over to his friend.
âOdy, I could never replace you. You are woven into my soul like a grapevine. Why do you think I would break our pact?â They spoke softly, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. Odysseus sighed, looking back to the ground. He felt so stupid for assuming they would hurt him too.
âIâm sorry,â he mumbled gently, looking at them out of the corner of his eyes.
âItâs alright; I would do the same if I were you. I forgive you,â Y/n smiled warmly to him, earning a hesitant smile back from him.
~~~~~
After this whole incident, Odysseus stopped arguing so much with Hermes. Sure, the mortal still gave the god a few half-hearted glares, but they eventually learned to share Y/nâs attention.
The trio sat calmly on the balcony of Odysseusâ room, waiting for Penelope to arrive for a nightly get-together. The sun sank slowly below the horizon, offering a charming glow to the city.
âSo, darling, howâd you manage to get such a feral man to calm down?â
âFERAL?!â

Air: âŚ!
Shin: Yep! Thatâs him! This is the family I was talking about âŞ
Sirius: I see. It appears you were able to make up.
Sirius: Iâm glad it seems he decided to come along with me as well.
Air: âŚ
Sirius: Well then, shall we head off?

Shin: Huh. I feel like Iâve been here beforeâŚ
Sirius: Ah, thatâs right. You said you used to live underground as a child, yesâŚ?
Sirius: Perhaps this was the route you took to reach the surface.
Shin: HuhâŚ
Air: âŚIs that true, Shin?
Sirius: I had an inkling of this while you were telling me, but were you a part of Tronis?
Sirius: Theyâre a rather superstitious group of people, so itâs quite admirable you were able to escape on your own. It takes a lot of courage to do such a thing.
Sirius: Thatâs why I wanted you to come with me.
Shin: âŚ
Air: Shin, are you okay? We can still turn backâ
Shin: Iâm perfectly fine. We donât have to be on the surface to be happy⌠We can find happiness down here too.
Air: ShinâŚ

...What happens if I put a full twenty dollars into the urban fantasy vending machine?
it's been on the backburner for over a year, so nothing fresh, but for twenty dollars in the urban fantasy vending machine, here is a short vignette I haven't touched in a year and a half
The room was crisp and bright, all sharp edges and polished monochrome. The sun shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, refracting off the sparkling glass and steel spires that carved out the skyline and focusing with almost suspicious precision directly into my eyeballs. I slumped down further in my chair and squinted across at the empty desk. Everything was too damn bright.
âCan I get you anything, detective?â
The voice that rang out from behind me was innocent and musical. The woman it belonged to was not.
I scowled. âAbsolutely not.â
âSuit yourself.â I could hear the indulgent smile. âThe coffeeâs very good, you know. I donât settle for anything less than the best.â
âIâm sure.â
âAnd with a nose like yours, Iâm sure you already knew.â
Water boiled, and a rich, bitter scent coiled through the air. It was good. Probably that Blue Mountain stuff, or - no. It had to be Turkish. Of course sheâd do Turkish.
I squeezed my eyes shut and exhaled harshly. There was no way around it - I was exhausted. Iâd hit the 48-hour sleep dep limit back on Saturday and had been burning through raw determination ever since. It was damn stupid of me, frankly. I probably couldnât even handle arithmetic right now, let alone solve a mystery.
But itâd be real stupid of me to accept a drink from the most notorious poisoner in history, so I was just going to have to deal with it.
I reluctantly opened my eyes and the world blurred back into focus as a tall figure briefly eclipsed the dazzling display of sun-sparkled skyscrapers. A coffee cup settled on the desk with a soft clink. There was a rustle as she settled into the high-backed chair and leaned forward. The sun caught in her golden braided bun and played across the shoulders of her elegant black suit. Pale, slender hands clasped the coffee cup with practiced precision.
âSo,â Medea said. âHow can I help you today?â
Her eyes were honey-gold. Granddaughter of Helios, the myths had said, and the sun certainly seemed to be in the habit of favoring her. Her corporate empire dealt in energy. Geothermal, hydroelectric, solar, even nuclear - all those shiny, clean alternatives that were slowly outcompeting the old oil-burning models. Her power stations were already keeping the lights on for half of the eastern united states. It was a hell of a niche sheâd carved out for herself, and like everything else sheâd ever done, she was stunningly good at it. Then again, for a demigod princess and compulsive social climber, the world of corporate politics mustâve felt like a home away from home.
Her gaze was steady and level, like I wasnât cutting into her busy workday. Like she had all the time in the world.
Well. She did, didnât she?
I sighed. âThereâs a new drug on the streets.â
âIs it Tuesday already?â
âThis oneâs different.â I rubbed my eyes. âRight now, they just think itâs a hallucinogen.â
âAnd?â
âItâs not. It shows whatâs really there.â
The coffee cup froze halfway to her lips. âHow much?â
âCanât tell for sure. Sounds like theyâre seeing fairies, sprites, goblins, standard hidden world stuff⌠but Iâm pretty sure it cuts through glamour. Might even go deeper, start showing shifterâs true forms.â I leaned back. âThe secret world wonât stay secret for long if the users and abusers start comparing notes. I was half-tempted to take some of the stuff myself just to find out how much they know, but Iâm not exactly a neutral test subject.â
âYes, between your physiology and your temperament, that would be very unwise.â The clink of her cup cut off my half-hearted retort. âDo you have any mortal friends who might be willing to take the plunge?â
I barked a bitter laugh. âAll my mortal friends are wizards or cops.â
âUnfortunate. I see why you came to me.â She leaned back, lacing her fingers together. âIâm sorry to disappoint you, but this is the first Iâve heard of it.â
Damn. Damn. Why was I surprised?
âThat kind of potion isnât really my style anyway,â she said. âIllusions and the breaking thereof are rather⌠outside my typical wheelhouse.â
âI know, I know.â I rubbed my eyes again. âI didnât think you were making the stuff. I just hoped maybe you knew something. Nobody knows where itâs coming from.â
âThe Goblin Market?â
âObviously some people are dealing it through there, but I donât have a supplier.â
âTricky.â She leaned back. âWhatâs the delivery method?â
âThatâs the weird part. Itâs topical.â
She quirked an eyebrow. âUnusual. No ingestion or injection?â
âNo.â I dug into my jacket pocket and pulled out the scuffed stainless steel tin, then dropped it on her desk. âKid up in Wicker Park saw me, dropped this and ran. Broad daylight. I wasnât even changed.â
âYou do cut an intimidating figure regardless.â
I scowled. âI donât know what he saw.â
She nodded once, then gestured at the tin. âDo you mind?â
âBe my guest.â I sank deeper into the chair.
She delicately picked up the tin and traced a nail around the lid. âThe container is mundane.â
âYep.â
She turned it in her hands, the battered metal catching the light. Then she cracked the lid.
I braced myself and squeezed my eyes shut. The smell was overwhelming and utterly unidentifiable - syrupy, sickly, wormwood and petrichor and rot. The headache Iâd been nursing intensified.
I heard her sniff. Lucky woman. She had to try to smell the stuff.
âOtherworldly ingredients.â There was a click and the smell dissipated. I risked cracking an eye open. Sheâd replaced the lid and was staring at the container pensively.
âWhat do you think?â
She arched an eyebrow. âMaybe I should be asking you. If I want to identify the makeup of an unknown mixture, I need a full lab and the favor of Hekate. You just need your nose.â
I groaned. âAll I know is itâs weird and I hate it.â
âWeird?â
âWeird! I canât pin it down. It almost smells like something, butâ - I waved my hands vaguely - âitâs all wrong.â
Medea stared for a moment, then set down the tin. âDetective, have you ever been to fairyland?â
âI assume youâre not being euphemistic,â I said, rubbing my eyes.
âNo. Iâm referring to the realm of fairy. Built on the ruins of TĂr na nĂg, ruled by the Fairy Queen, land of glamour and illusion, home of the people of the hills. You must be familiar.â
âOf course I am.â
âBut youâve never been there?â
âI donât do otherworld travel if I can help it.â I sat up. âWhy?â
Medea idly traced a finger over the tin. âThe bones of the fairy realm are very real, but for the most part, the realm is a beautiful illusion starving for reality. Your senses are entranced by a perfect, glamorous experience, but your body and soul waste away. Surely youâre familiar with the harmful effects of fairy food?â
âOn paper.â I glanced at the tin. âYou think this is some kind of illusion?â
âJust the opposite.â She tapped the lid sharply. âFairyland is nothing more than the eternal dream of the Fairy Queen, but TĂr na nĂg is as real as you or I. A land of promise and plenty, lost to ruin when its link to this world withered away. Its denizens fading to shades, its fruits and flowers rotting and decaying where they grew.â
I frowned. âThis⌠this isnât your area. Why do you know so much about this?â
She sighed. âReally, detective. Did you really think, over three thousand years, I stayed entirely in the mediterranean?â
âNo, of course not-â
âAfter my flight from Athens I broadened my horizons significantly. I have visited the realm of Fairy several times.â She wrinkled her nose. âOf course, after the TĂr fell to ruin, the quality of ingredients I could acquire plummeted rather dramatically. Gossamer illusions make for poor potions.â
I tried to cut through the fog in my head. Things were coming together. âYou⌠think this was made in fairyland?â
âI think it was, at minimum, made from fairyland.â
âThe smell⌠is odd. Like a floral perfume gone wrong. Rot making everything sweeter.â I scowled. âNot an illusion. Illusions donât smell that bad.â
âGood,â she said. âThen some industrious denizen appears to have scoured the far edges of Fairyland to acquire ingredients from the ruins of the TĂr.â

Could I request Aegon X reader with prompt #9?
9. ââWhere did you learn to do that?ââ
Request: Aegon waking his wife by going down on her
Warnings: 18+, smut, oral (f receiving)
â
Nothing compared to the bliss of waking up to your husbandâs head between your legs, placing kisses down your inner thighs. Aegonâs lips were almost featherlight, which intensified the sensation.Â
Your eyes were struggling to open, your mind still half asleep, but your body was wide awake. A soft whimper left your lips when he reached close to your cunny, followed by a long whine as he gave each lips a slow lick with his tongue.Â
Aegon then switched to the other thigh, repeating his loving ministrations and taking his sweet time.Â
ââDo you like it?ââ he asked, lifting his head and looking up at you with a devilish grin.Â
ââYes.ââ
He dipped his head down again, kissing the top of your mound before going lower, right on your clit. Your legs lifted off the bed as he took your bud between his lips, suckling and sending jolts of pleasure up your core.Â
You moaned, throwing your head back against the plush velvet pillows.
''Where did you learn to do that?'' you had asked the first time he went down on you.
You would assume that, having spent his youth in a brothel, Aegon only knew brutish and selfish pleasure. At first, it was like that â just mindless fucking. But that was because he had never known love or affection. As you showed him love, he learned to be gentle and how to give you pleasure, showing that he was capable of more than just pounding into you like a ragdoll until he spilled his seed.Â
Although, you didn't hate when he manhandled you and was a little rough...sometimes.Â
His name rolled off your tongue in a breathed whisper as he flattened his, licking a long stripe along your slit. He feasted on you, humming and lapping and kissing your cunny while grabbing your thighs and pressing you against his mouth. Â
ââI could spend all day between your legs,ââ Aegon said, giving kitten licks to your clit before blowing air on your pink flesh and making your thighs tremble. He chuckled at your reaction, and went back to business.Â
You pulled at his hair again, feeling yourself about to climax, but there was a knock on the door, interrupting your intimate morning activities.Â
ââErm, forgive for bothering you, my King, but the armorer has brought your armor. He wishes His Grace tries it on to ensure it fits perfectly or see if adjustments are needed,ââ the hand, Otto Hightower, said. There was an uncomfortableness in his tone, having likely heard what was happening behind the doors.
Aegon lifted his head, your wetness glimmering down to his chin. ââIn a moment!ââ he called out in return. ââI'm breaking fast!ââ

Hephaestus!Nikto: I miscalculated but where
(everywhere)
It's hard to avoid taking risks around you. Every part of him screams for you, aches to touch you, to hold you, to push your legs apart and bury his cock inside you until you beg for him to stop. The thoughts rush at him all too often these days, unbidden and awful. You're more than just a warm hole to fill, and yet there's no tenderness in his fantasies, no soft words of adoration or gentle caresses. He wants you.
And you are uncaring. If you aren't then perhaps your empathy for love- but it isn't love, is it? This aching, gnawing hunger, the wolves circling a fresh kill, the bloody muzzle under his mask that betrays broken teeth ready to bite. Gods he wants to sink them into your skin and never let go. You must taste like the finest ambrosia to make his mouth water at just the thought of you.
Miscalculations.
There is not a man or God who could calculate anything with you hanging around them. Your presence pulls every thought to you, makes him feel the brush of air against his skin like a touch, makes him want to set you on your knees so you can see, properly see, what you do to him.
What the soft, pretty curve of your mouth does to him when you utter that horrible, cursed word.
Husband, husband, husband.
He cannot take it any longer. Your lips speak words that your heart cannot echo and it drives him mad.
Nikto catches you around your waist and presses to your back. His stomach clenches so tight he might lose the little lunch he had, his skin feels like it is burning, as if Helios has chosen this moment to shine on him alone. A spotlight on what your call stirs in him. He hopes you can feel it as terribly as he does.
"You will stop," Nikto growls, "or we will show you how husbands treat unruly wives."
The shiver that goes through you must be fear, or disgust, because your hands push against his hold with a noise of discomfort. Good, perhaps such threats will finally get him some peace.
He releases you, and stalks back to the forge. Working the hard iron will keep his hands busy, and his mind clear.
And hopefully you will know better that to keep sticking your hands in the fire.

God!Jason x Goddess!Reader
A/N: The Percy Jackson kid in me had too. And with Hades II now in early access.. like c'mon. This was inspired by the song Broken Crown Masterlist
The tang of blood clouded the air of any room he occupied. His downcast glare as sharp as his bronze blades, stained with divine and mortal blood alike. He was vengeance incarnate. His body structured upon the anger and vitriol of mortals.
He wasn't like his brothers, of course he wasn't. His purpose was to crack bone and rip flesh, their's was to protect and cultivate. Jason didn't mind the difference. Someone had to embody the violence of his families worshipers.
He was content to live in his routine of bloodshed and occasional peace within the palace libraries. Until his gaze attached itself to you.
You were small within the great pantheon, a goddess of sea creatures and river life. And like Jason, you were content. To float upon the backs of your whales and manta rays under Helios's blinding glow. To fall asleep tucked away in your alcove with the river otters snuggling against your feet. To braid small shells and river pearls into your hair on the rocky bank of your forest lake, your legs lazily kicking in the crystal waters.
Jason had stumbled across your alcove after battle, his robes clinging to his body due to a combination of sweat and blood. He bent to his knees, your cool blue waters washing away the specks of dead flesh and the maroon from his hands and forearms. It tainted your waters, brining unease and uncertainty to your sanctuary. 'What are you doing?'
He looked up, your voice like waves against a rocky shore. And for the first time in his immortal life did he know what it was like for a mortal man to worship at the feet of the divine. He stuttered an apology, the blinding quality of your beauty too intense for him to look at more more than a few seconds. He vanished back into the shadows of the trees, his heart pounding in his ears.
He knew he had to see you again. His soul demanded it. So he bloodied his hands repeatedly just so he could wash them in your waters. For he would tear through the mightiest of men just to glimpse at you from afar.
He became a nuisance wedged into your days. And your annoyance with him couldn't be contained to just that, with how frequently he showed at your pools and rivers. It was fated that you both would fall deeply for each other.
Your blooming love felt predetermined, like your bodies had been crafted to fit against the other. Once the discovery of mutual love was made, you languished in each others grasp. Years of solitude and isolation suddenly shattered by each-others presence.
You cleansed him within your pools, washing away the scars of violence the world expected of him to bare. He would unfold into the safety of your solitude as your cradled his head in your lap.
You both would bathe in the warm glow of the canopy against the river banks, giggling in your own amusement as you tried to feed each-other olives.
You would steal his cloaks if he had to leave you for war. For you to curl yourself in, a weak replacement to his arms typically wrapped around your torso as Hypnos would claim you both.
To claim that Jason worshiped you would be a pity to the extent of his efforts. He adored you entirely; his precious, sweet goddess. He would carry you across continents if you demanded it. He would rip apart the world and drag your soul from Elysium should you ever be separated by death. You filled the vacant hole deep within him.
His shoulders bare the weight of limitless anger yet the touch of your sun bleached skin against his could quell any pain, any anguish.
Your marble statues are now confided to museums and the greatness of your love is limited to sonets and song. But nothing, not even time, could kill the power of the Vengeance Gods adoration for his Wife born of water.
