IS SHE A NATIONAL HABIT? and OTHER PRESS

December 19, 1965

On Sunday, December 19, 1965, the TV Tab supplement to the Rochester (NY) Democrat and Chronicle, published an article by UPI’s Vernon Scott about the staying power of Lucille Ball.

The article is reprinted verbatim below, with direct quotes from Lucille Ball in bold and italics.

By VERNON SCOTT, HOLLYWOOD (UPI)

"Institution" is an unflattering term for beautiful redhead, but it fits Lucille Ball who, after 14 years in television, is still among the top 10 in the ratings.

Mention "Lucy" in the civilized world, and people everywhere know who you're talking about.

Lucy's unprecedented longevity as a television comedienne is all the more remarkable in that she began as a starlet in "Roman Scandals" with Eddie Cantor back in 1933.

Remarkable because she alone among her contemporaries is still a major star. The life span of starlets is usually five years. If a girl can act, she may survive for 15 years. But once a starlet's measurements have been exploited and her youthful beauty fades she dissolves into the scenery on the back lot.

But Lucy? She's been going strong for 32 years.

Her figure is terrific. Better than most of this season's sex kittens. On screen she appears a youthful 35. In person her features are animated, her blue eyes brimming with mischief and intelligence.

What's more, Lucy has survived on the strength of her own comic genius. When she and Desi parted it was predicted Lucy couldn't carry on alone. Wrong. The same was said when Vivian Vance departed last season. Wrong.

"The Lucy Show" title says it all. She stands alone.

Asked how she managed to go on and on, Lucy said: "My personal life may have something to do with it. I've almost always enjoyed good health. I take care of myself. I don't drink. I'm happily married, and I don't let work interfere with being a good wife and mother.”

Is she, indeed, an institution? "I never thought it unflattering to be an institution. The idea appeals to me. I credit the steadfastness of my viewers for my longevity on television. I've become a national habit.”

"And children love my show, too. I think people began tuning in to the old 'I Love Lucy' show because Desi and I were married on-screen and off. It was different. We had strong audience identification with other married couples.”

"Later when Vivian and I carried on as a couple of women trying to raise kids without a man around, we still had a great deal of identification with a large segment of the population.”

"We also knew what not to do. We kept away from vulgarity, distasteful subjects and unwholesomeness."

Lucy still failed to touch on the element that makes her such a popular favorite. She doesn't really know. Perhaps no one does.

I think it is that she is the only comedienne who combines humor sometimes outlandish clowning with beauty, sex appeal and, most Importantly, femininity. Even with her hair frowzed, her face dirty and clothes in tatters she looks like a female should look.

The TV Tab also provided listings, including one for a Monday, December 20, 1965 repeat of “The Lucy Show” episode “Lucy in the Music World” (TLS S4;E3) first aired on September 27, 1965.

Meanwhile, in Iowa’s The Courier on December 19, 1965, TV critic Ken Murphy wrote about Milton Berle and Lucille Ball, the king and queen of TV comedy.

Murphy is talking about “Lucy Saves Milton Berle” (TLS S4;E13) first aired on December 6, 1965.

In Long Beach (CA) the Evening News and Independent-Press-Telegram Tele Vues took a look at Lucy’s partner in crime, Gale Gordon with this article from Bert Resnik’s column Bert’s Eye View:

IF SANTA CAN FIND it in his heart to forgive the on-screen, blowhard shouting of Gale Gordon, television's meanest man could have the following in his Christmas stocking: A drill-press, a shaper-planer and a band-saw.

Gale, who currently is flipping his lid as blustering banker Theodore J. Mooney on CBS-TV's Monday "The Lucy Show," is a do-it -yourselfer magna cum laude.

He does it himself on a 100-acre ranch in the San Ysidro Mountains near Borrego Springs.

It is doing that utilizes a 37-horsepower, 4-wheel, lightweight tractor that Santa, in the guise of his wife of 28 years, Virginia, gave to him a previous Christmas.

It is more than just a tractor to Gale.

"It is therapy for me," he said.

In addition to the therapeutic tractor, the hoped-for drill press, planer and handsaw, Gale has a cement-mixer (an anniversary present) and numerous tools.

"I can work all day long mixing cement and to me this is the same as going to the opera for some people. It's completely relaxing."

THERE IS NO therapy for Gale in bombastically blowing his top onscreen. He's not knocking it, mind you. Just don't get the idea that it's the best way to prevent ulcers - not that Gale has one.

He enjoys the flip-wigging for two reasons: It gets laughs and it brings money.

Both have been coming quite persistently since, as Mayor La Trivia in the "Fibber McGee and Molly" era, he hollered his first roof down.

On television he's blustered as the meany school principal in "Our Miss Brooks," was Uncle Paul in the "Pete and Gladys" series and served a stint as Mr. Wilson for "Dennis the Menace."

It is blustering, incidentally, that highly challenges Gale's acting abilities.

For off-screen, he's the opposite kind of man.

"People who exhibit temper are very disagreeable," he said. "I don't like to be disagreeable.”

"By nature, I'm a very placid person. Very little disturbs me."

In his 43-year-career, Gale learned by observing more temperamental show-business personalities that: "Temper is such a waste of time."

It is a career that has been marked by an appearance in the 1928 silent movie, "Temptress," with Greta Garbo.”

"She's the most ethereal and beautiful creature I've ever seen in my life," he said. "Her ability is in the tremendous appeal she has for the audience."

It is a career that included a radio role as, leading man in "The Mary Pickford Show” in the 1930s. "She was very charming, very considerate."

Eve Arden, the title star of "Our Miss Brooks," has "no equal" in her style of sophisticated comedy. Miss Arden, Gale and other members of that television series' cast "were a family."

It is Lucille Ball, however, with whom Gale finds it most stimulating to work. "I admire her above all women her ability, her knowledge of theater and for a very keen sense -- an instinct, actually -- of what will p!ay funny to an audience.”

"I'd rather be a supporting player for Lucy than be a starring player myself under any of the most favorable conditions.”

The Honolulu (HI) Star-Bulletin printed this brief mention on December 19, 1965, regarding children of celebrities going into show business.

While across the Pacific, in The San Francisco (CA) Examiner, columnist John J. Miller reported on Lucille Ball’s day in tax court.

Hi there! Could you do companions or the protagonists reacting to meeting the vault dweller?

Cait wants to know everything about taking down the Master and how they lived to tell the tale. Doesn’t really care what happened afterwards though.

Codsworth doesn’t know who it is and treats them like he would any other company. When told who it is he offers them an extra biscuit.

Curie wants to know everything about the FEV virus that the Vault Dweller found out, asks questions that people just barely understand in the first place.

Danse thanks them for their contribution to the wasteland and for their effort to stop the super mutant menace. Probably wants to discuss tactics about dealing with the Commonwealth mutants.

Deacon pretends to be an old friend of theirs, does fairly well in tricking them but leaves before they catch on. To be fair he already knows everything about them.

Dogmeat doesn’t care who it is, they pet him and give him treats and that’s all that matters.

Hancock is of course impressed with everything the vault dweller has done but is the most impressed with how they built a town and made it thrive even without them. Wants to know how they did it.

MacCready has heard the legends as a child and is awestruck. Can’t believe he’s meeting an actual hero (nevermind that he’s met LW AND Sole).

Nick understands that everyone wants to know everything about them and makes it a point to not ask about anything they don’t bring up themselves. Sometimes it’s nice to just be someone, not something.

Piper asks to make an article about it, maybe even a book about them, but mostly just wants to know for personal interests. Ends up comparing them to Sole a lot, sometimes to their face as they speak.

Preston is cordially impressed as well for the town that grew from them. Jokingly asks if they want to join the Minutemen but is also 100% serious. Kinda wants to know how the wasteland is different there from the Commonwealth, like was it hit harder, do plants grow more easily there etc.

Strong is impressed that a puny human managed to take down the Master but makes sure the human knows not to mess with Strong. The Master must have been weaker than people thought if a human killed it.

X6-88 admires them from a distance. Doesn’t want to pester them with questions he either already knows or will undoubtedly be told about by everyone else once they move on.

Ada also takes a distance. Likes that everyone seems to be in good spirits but doesn’t really understand what the hype is about. Doesn’t particularly care either, she has things to do.

Longfellow tries to one-up the vault dweller with stories of his own.

Gage hopes the vault dweller isn’t there for long. Thinks it’s cool that they destroyed the Master and the whole thing, but doesn’t want another do-gooder around.

Star Paladin Cross and the vault dweller swap stories about Project Purity and Arroyo like proud parents. She probably gets a little passive-aggressive about it at the end.

Butch thinks their name is dumb but what they’ve done is kinda cool. Not as cool as LW but y’know. No one is.

Clover gets bored of them quickly when they don’t take the bait on any of her advances. Probably starts mocking them a little, taunting them.

Sergeant RL-3 salutes them as a great soldier and tells them he’s at their service.

Jericho challenges them all the time, thinks they’ve probably made most of it up or just got lucky.

Fawkes gets a little nervous around them and keeps a distance, but does admire them and what they’ve done for the world. Maybe writes them a letter to show his appreciation.

Dogmeat likes the ruckus around the new person and especially the dinners where people drop plenty of scraps in excited conversation.

Charon is impressed that they’ve done so much on their own and from that kind of background. Doesn’t crowd them though, they’re still just a person. Charon still has time to achieve great things for the wasteland.

Arcade already knows everything about them but keeps the act going and asks a lot of questions. Ends up with a few questions that he shouldn’t know to ask but backpedals quickly and blames the heat from the sun.

Boone isn’t very interested in the vault dweller, doesn’t ask a lot about what they’ve accomplished. So much weird crap happens around the Courier that it just can’t impress him.

Lily treats them like one of her own, acts like their stories are the same as if they were talking about what they did at school that day. Tells them to be more careful and stay out of trouble.

Raul thinks the vault dweller is cool and all but unless he’s got a sweet snack to chew on while listening, he’s not interested. The Courier makes him put up with so much bullshit he’s just not going that extra mile anymore unless he’s getting something out of it. He’ll settle for an ‘exotic’ soda from the vault dwellers side of the world.

Cass also doesn’t particularly give a shit about what they’ve done. Wants to arm wrestle to see if she can beat them though. Bets she can drink them under the table too.

Veronica is curious if they’ve come to the Mojave to make a difference there too, offers to help them get around and where to get the best resources.

ED-E doesn’t stray far from the Courier but likes the cut of the vault dwellers jib. Hopes they stick around for company. Tries to play some music that’s local to them.

Rex thinks there are only a few stars in the sky but appreciates that the vault dweller tries to be another one. No one can scratch his belly like the Courier, though.

YOU KNOW WHO

ship questions

Who accidentally pushes a door instead of pulling/vice versa

probably sara in a rush. she’s just running out the door and pushes or pulls and gets a nice little forehead tap for all her effort. should probably test the door first, dummy.

Who doodles little hearts all over the desk with their initials inside them

ava. then she’ll try and hide them until sara eventually finds them, then she’ll say she only did it because she’d never gotten the experience. sara knows better.

Who starts the tickle fights

sara. she’s definitely a menace and likes when ava laughs. more than likely something that only happens in private, because she knows ava doesn’t like being embarrassed.

Who starts the pillow fights

sara, again. childish little pillow taps when ava does something like start talking about work while they’re having their time alone. besides, it ends up in a fun wrestle session that usually leads to cuddling, which is really a win in general.

Who falls asleep last, watching the other with a small affectionate smile

ava. sara tends to crash pretty easily ( though she wakes far too often in the night ) and ava likes to enjoy the silence that comes with everything around her being peaceful and relaxed.

Who mistakes salt for sugar

ava. mick probably switched it out to be a dick, and sara knew better than to fall for it with her league training. ava’s morning coffee on the waverider gets ruined, and sara steals her time courier to get her starbucks and come back while she’s angry showering.

Who lets the microwave play the loud beeping sound at 1am in the morning

sara. she really doesn’t care, and bed is too warm to get out of. it annoys ava though, so sara asks gideon to turn it off.

Who comes up with cheesy pick up lines

this one is very obviously sara. one of the benefits of having a clone girlfriend is knowing she might not’ve experienced all of the very terrible and/or downright filthy pick up lines the world has to offer. hi, how was heaven when you left it? can i follow you home? cause my parents always told me to follow my dreams.

Who rearranges the bookshelf in alphabetical order

ava would everywhere, if she had time. i imagine her books are all organized at home, and since sara probably doesn’t own any or many, and nate has organized the waverider’s library, it works well enough for them.

Who licks the spoon when they’re baking brownies

someone is definitely licking the spoon, and that someone is ava. sara learned better than to eat batter after a series of belly aches as a child. luckily for them, gideon knows a great vegan recipe that allows ava to enjoy brownie batter without the hassle.

Who buys candles for dinners even though there’s no special occasion

sara does. despite the obvious fire hazard ( so this is saved for ava’s place ) eating by candlelight is one of her better memories from the league, and is a nice tough when you’re trying to make up for your team constantly going rogue.

Who draws little tattoos on the other with a pen

summer camp ava. because why not?

Who comes home with a new souvenir magnet every time they go on vacation

sara, because of the legends. souvenirs sometimes actually come in the form of purchasable trinkets, not stolen goods, especially when they’re so enjoyable to look at and collect.

Who convinces the other to fill out those couple surveys in the back of magazines

ava. she thinks it’s a relationship building exercise, and sara can’t disagree so long as she gets to read some of the magazine while she’d at it. she’s a little behind on current affairs.

Evil Quill Weave pt. 3

She opened the letter from her tailor in the Imperial City immediately upon receipt from the courier.

"Dear Mistress of Evil," the letter started. Quill-Weave was happy to see that the Khajiit had addressed the letter appropriately as she had requested. Though of course the tailor knew full well who she was, it wouldn't do to spread that word around too liberally.

"It is with the greatest of concern that I write this to you. Two days ago I happened upon that crazy mage I told you about. You remember, the one who sold me those rubies? Well we began to talk and it appears that they were enchanted! As best I can gather - you must understand the nutjob is very hard to comprehend - they are enchanted with an invisibility enchantment. If you touch the one with the skull engraving while repeating the word "Hej" three times, it will activate the others and the invisibility will be engaged. The word "Xhu" will disable it. I apologize deeply for this and will be more than happy to replace them with regular stones. You need only stop in the shop and I will gladly swap them out for you!"

Quill-Weave looked down at the red skull ruby on her bodice and smiled an evil smile.

"I bet you will!" she thought. "Didn't know you were selling me an enchanted outfit did you?"

She decided to wait till the next day when Faceless Mook came back from his vacation to test it out on him.

The next morning she heard him enter downstairs and called down to him, "Be down in a few minutes Mooky. Please can you put the cat out for me?"

"Sure thing Mistress!" he called back.

She heard him downstairs and said the word three times while touching the stone. Nothing happened, but she also had no idea how it was supposed to work either. She then crept downstairs as silently as she could and heard him outside. She hid behind the door until he came back in. He went to his workbench and began working on the door latch again.

She silently walked around right in front of him, but there was no reaction. She was totally invisible to him! She smiled a toothy grin and crept back up the stairs.

After saying the words to disable the enchantment she returned down the stairs as if nothing had happened.

"Oh! Working on that latch again?"

"Yes Mistress. I really can't figure out why it's so much of a problem. Here, look... See, it's really a very simple mechanism. The only thing I can figure is that the little axle gets stuck somehow."

She waved a hand dismissively. "I'm no good with such things Mooky. I'm sure you'll figure it out. Say, are the villagers still holding that festival tonight?"

Faceless Mook perked up at that. "Oh yes! It's the talk of the village! I really wish you'd come. My wife is dying to meet you too. She forgives you for that whole salt thing."

"Ah, well, tell them thanks. I've come to terms that I won't be doing my Evil Deeds around here anyway. But really, it just wouldn't be seemly for Evil Incarnate to show up and dance with a bunch of villagers now, would it?"

Her minion sighed. "I guess not. We're going to have a big bonfire though! Really it would be so nice of you to join."

"Well, I'll think about it. Now I'm off to start planning my next Villainous Deed."

"Okay, let me know if you need any help," Mooky said, turning back to his work.

In fact, she was planning her next Villainous Deed. With her invisibility outfit, the idea was practically thrown into her lap. During the fall festival, Quill would activate her invisibility and create a jack-o-lantern. But this one would magically appear at the festival, floating on air! The superstitious rubes would freak out! Oh, maybe it wasn't as Evil as some ideas, but she would definitely get a kick out of seeing them run screaming from the Magic Jack-O-Lantern. She grabbed a nice fat pumpkin from the garden out back and sequestered herself in her room with a knife and a spoon.

Three pumpkins later and she finally felt she had just the right look of menace on the pumpkin's carved face. The fact that she'd managed to get pumpkin brains all over herself didn't bother her since she'd wisely removed her Evil outfit beforehand. But she needed a bath.

"Hey Mooky? Could you make a bath for me?"

"Sure Mistress! I'll start heating the water up now. But, can I leave early today after that? The wife wants me to get dressed up for the festival."

"No problem. I'm going to go to bed early tonight anyway. Give her my regards. Just let me know when you leave."

Some little while later, she heard her minion call up the stairs, "Okay Qu... I mean, Mistress. The bath is ready. I've left a towel and soap right beside it. I'm heading out now."

"Okay, thank you Mookey! You're the best!"

When she'd heard the door close, she went downstairs and climbed into the bath. The water was just right. She decided right then that, if she saw Faceless Mook and his wife at the festival, she'd steer clear of them. His wife really had been awfully accommodating to her, and she felt a little bad at having not met her yet.

The day turned to night and Quill was all prepared. She waited until the hour was getting late, then she crept towards the village. Keeping to the wooded area around the clearing, she could see all the townspeople gathered around a large bonfire. Most were dancing while a few were playing some crude instruments and others yet were obviously somewhat drunk and singing badly at the top of their voices. She waited until she spotted Mooky and a large woman she assumed to be his wife nearby. They were on the far side of the fire happily so she decided to focus her efforts nearby.

She touched the ruby and repeated the incantation. Then she lit the candle and placed it within the pumpkin. Raising it high overhead, she stepped out of the woods. As expected, many of the villagers pointed and shrieked. She waved the pumpkin up and down as she circled the fire. But instead of screaming and running away in terror, she noticed most of them just made a pathway for the haunted jack-o-lantern. While the children pointed, most of the adults just shushed them and made them look away.

A little frustrated, she blew out the candle and went back into the woods. While she'd obviously caused a bit of an uproar at first, it was certainly not the terrified spectacle she was expecting. She dropped the pumpkin in the woods and went back to her castle. Once again, the latch wasn't working. She fiddled with it but finally sat down in front of the door in frustration. At least it wasn't cold or raining, she thought.

Then a figure came out of the gloom. It was Faceless Mook, and she was glad to see him.

"MOOKY! Just the man I was looking for! This latch is stuck again."

"Hi Mistress. Sure, give me just a second and I'll get it open."

True to his word, with a little help from a small tool he kept nearby he had the latch open.

Once inside, the little man sat down at the table.

"What is it Mooky? What brings you here tonight of all nights? Don't you want to be at the festival?" she said, smiling a little.

"Well, yes, but the wife insisted I come and talk to you. I'm sorry Quill... I mean Mistress. But it's kind of hard to talk while you're naked."

Quill looked at him puzzled and looked down at herself. "Naked? I'm not nak... Oh no. OH NO!!!"

Quill-Weave's pupils went from her normal slits to fully dilated.

"Thanks for coming to the festival anyway, Mistress. But, it's not really a fertility festival," Mooky said.

"But... this morning! You... I..."

"It's okay Mistress. I know you're a little eccentric in your dressing habits. But the rest of the villagers don't know you that well. I... well, I suggest you wear clothes pretty much all the time when you come into the village, even if you sometimes don't around here."

...........................

Dear Mae the Tailor,

I thank you for your letter of yesterday. However, in the future I would appreciate it if you could be a little more PRECISE in your language. I'm afraid I misunderstood a critical aspect of your missive.

I will be in next week to have suitable alterations made to the garment.

Sincerely,

Your Mistress of Evil

Summer Storm

Fandom: Naruto

Pairing: KakaSaku

Rating: T

Prompt: The Mission

Summary: In which Kakashi majorly screws up and is rewarded with a cold shoulder from his favorite medical ninja. Maybe a little spat is all he needs to really open his eyes to what he wants.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of characters. I am making no profit off of this and am only writing it for my entertainment.

A/N: Set in my Same Age AU sometime shortly after Kakashi leaves Anbu. Somewhat established relationship. If anyone has watched Goblin: The Lonely and Great God, this was inspired by Sunny and Reaper’s reincarnations.

Also sorry this is suuuuuuper late. Life has been exhausting, but this is my last entry for Kakasaku month. It could actually fit for the prompts The Mission or Summer Rain all the way from week one.

Unbeta-ed.

[ao3] [fanfic]

“Stay with me.” The voice was far away like hearing someone through a tunnel or in the waking moments after a deep slumber. It rang in his head, so persistent that he couldn’t tell if his name was being called repeatedly or if it was just from the ringing in his head brought on by the loud slow thump of his own heartbeat. One thing was certain though. It was panicked. ��Kakashi, look at me. Don’t take your eyes off me.”

Blackness faded away to meet grey skies. For a moment the world was a blur before it came into sharp focus, and he was aware of everything all at once. The agonizing pain in his chest only slightly dulled by the gentle, warm flow of Sakura’s chakra. The green eyes that bore into his, commanding them to stay open. The soft patter of rain that beat against his much too pale skin. Some part of him knew that if he turned his head slightly, he’d find the dead bodies of the Kiri Anbu that lay just beyond them.

“What are you doing?” His voice was ragged. Talking was a luxury his failing body could barely afford. It spasmed in protest, and he was sure he could taste the metallic tang of blood when he coughed. “Finish the mission.”

“If you think I’m leaving you, you’re dead wrong.” Sakura’s voice was hard. It left no room for argument, but as Obito would be happy to point out and in fact, had many times, Kakashi had always been a fool.

“Sakura-”

“Shinobi who abandon their comrades are worse than scum, right? That’s your rule, and it applies to abandoning you too. Now hold still and stop talking, so we can be on our way sooner.

…

“The rain isn’t so bad, we could keep going.” If he were still in Anbu, they wouldn’t have stopped, but he’d been demoted from espionage and assassinations to courier missions. Granted, the information they’d been transporting was highly sensitive information, but if he were honest with himself, it wasn’t the mission that had him itching to keep moving. Even if it was, they’d technically finished it and were on their way back to the village. It didn’t matter if they stopped for the night to stay in a roadside inn instead of camping out on the road. No, what was bothering him was the cold shoulder Sakura had been giving him ever since they’d run into those Kiri shinobi.

“If you want to keep going in this storm, be my guest, but when you get struck by lightning, don’t expect me to heal you.” Sakura brushed the wet hair back from where it clung to her cheeks as best she could before stepping into the roadside inn. “And I’ll be sure to inform Rin not to help you either.”

“I wouldn’t get struck by lightning.” And he doubted Rin would refuse to treat him. If anything she’d just give him a stern talking to about not making idiotic decisions.

“Wanna take that bet?”

A bolt of lightning lit up the sky followed seconds later by a clap of thunder as though the sky were working with Sakura to prove him wrong. Rather than arguing the point any further and pressing his luck, he wordlessly stepped into the building. His clothes were darkened and weighed down by the heavy rain they’d run through for the past hour. Rivulets of water dripped off the both of them and left a trail of puddles after them on the hard wood floor of the inn.

Sakura coughed lightly to get the attention of the old woman who looked to be half asleep behind the counter.

“Ah, got caught in the rain, did you?” She peered at the two of them through her thick rimmed glasses. “We don’t usually get many ninja all the way out here.” Her eyes drifted between the two of them again until it began to feel like she was trying to read their deepest darkest secrets as payment for the rooms.

“We were just passing by.” Sakura shifted uncomfortably. Kakashi couldn’t quite tell if it was from the way her wet clothes clung to her and let the cold seep into her skin, or if it was from the older woman’s penetrating gaze. Even he was beginning to get unnerved by it.

“The weather’s brought a lot of customers today, but you’re just in luck.” The women fished around her desk for a moment before pulling out a key connected to a wooden tag with a room number on it.

“Oh. Actually, we need two rooms, if you don’t mind.” Sakura smiled at the woman, but Kakashi could tell it was entirely forced. He had a sinking suspicion that the tense set of her mouth had more to do with him than it did the intrusive old woman.

“Sorry, we’ve only got the one room left.”

“We’ll take it. Thank you,” Kakashi swooped in and picked up the key, offering the woman a much friendlier smile as he steered Sakura towards the stairs. Without looking, he could already tell Sakura’s eyes had lowered into a glare that very well might kill a man on sight, but he was thankful she didn’t seem to be full on fighting him for manhandling her just yet.

As they reached the first step, the door opened again and a young couple around their age ran in all giggles and smiles.

“Do you have a room?”

The old woman’s faint reply stopped the two shinobi in their tracks. “You’re just in luck, we’ve got one room left.”

Charcoal eyes met emerald. Pressing his luck, Kakashi let his hand slide along her arm until their fingers were interlocked. “Just let it go.”

Sakura’s jaw was set in a way that he knew she was physically restraining herself from going back and accusing the old woman of lying to them.

“Pretend you didn’t hear anything,” he advised and gave her hand a little tug before starting back up the stairs.

“I didn’t hear anything.” She pulled her hand away from his. Her voice was strained, but she moved ahead without any argument, and Kakashi breathed a silent sigh of relief. He didn’t really want to deal with a spectacle. Sakura could be prone to making them when she got angry, and she’d already been in a bad mood for days.

…

A hot shower later, and Sakura seemed to be in a slightly better mood. At the very least, it seemed to undo the damage the storm had brought about, and he was beginning to get used to the cold shoulder at this point.

Changing into dry clothes seemed to have picked up Kakashi’s spirits as well, and as the pink-haired kunoichi stepped out of the bathroom, Kakashi set his book aside. “Do you want to talk about it?” He let his eye follow a stray droplet of water that rolled down a wet strand of hair and along the skin of her neck before looking back at her eyes. “You’ve seemed kind of tense for a while, and I think it’s about time we clear the air.

“Oh, have I? I hadn’t noticed.” It took everything in Kakashi not to wince at the barbed sarcasm that dripped from her tongue.

She moved around to the uninhabited side of the queen bed and climbed in, deliberately turning her back to him as she did. “I’m tired. Turn the lights out when you’re done.”

For a brief moment, Kakashi sat in silence, then steeled himself, knowing exactly what he was about to instigate. “I’d like to talk about it.”

Just like that, Sakura rounded on him, turning to face him with fury in her eyes. “Would you? Or would you rather just pretend that everything is fine, like you always do? We could just keep living in a world where nothing, not even your death matters! That’s the world you live in, right? I don’t think you understand how close you were, Kakashi. Seconds. You were seconds away from dying, and you told me to just leave you there!”

Ah. So that’s what the cold shoulder for days on end had been about. “I’m not afraid of death, Sakura. I’ve been close to it before. It’s just-”

“Don’t you dare say it’s just part of the shinobi lifestyle.” She pointed a menacing finger at him, and this time he did have the sense of self-preservation to shut up. “I’ve known you for your entire life, Hatake,” she poked him hard, and Kakashi knew there’d be a little bruise there in the morning, “And I know that this is just some stupid way for you to punish yourself for everything that happened in the past that you somehow think is all your fault. You did it with ANBU and now that you can’t take it out there anymore, you’re trying it here. Well it’s not going to work.” Another poke for emphasis.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” he lied, though he at least had the decency to look ashamed.

“Goddamn it, Kakashi, this isn’t a joke.”

“I never said it was.”

“Then take this seriously!” Sakura fumed. “There was absolutely no need for you to let things get as far as they did. Not only that, but it’s insulting that you thought you needed to take the hits aimed at me. You know I can handle myself. You were looking for an excuse to be reckless, when you had no reason to be. Sometimes you act like you don’t have anything to live for, and it pisses me off!”

This time before Sakura could poke him in the chest again, he caught her hand. “I’m sorry.” His clothed lips leaned down to graze the skin of her hand as he spoke. “Forgive me?” His eyes were lowered. He couldn’t bring himself to look at her fully when he knew that she was right. Even after all these years, even after Obito had returned, he still felt guilty for the pain he’d inflicted on his teammates. For being unable to save Minato. Most times knowing the truth or thinking through the logic of the situations didn’t help. Sometimes he needed the rush of battle or the single mindedness of a cause to distract him. The field was where his worth laid. Sometimes, he felt like he couldn’t be absolved of all his crimes until he had fully martyred himself.

“I don’t want an apology.” A softness had finally begun to replace the hard edge of Sakura’s voice. “I want you to forgive yourself.” Her free hand moved to brush through his unruly hair. “It’s been years. No one holds you responsible.”

He let her hand slip away from his grasp and shook his head tiredly. “It’s not so simple as that.”

“Hey,” she wrapped her arms around him and held him close. Immediately, he let himself melt into her hold, his face burrowing into the crook of her neck. His strong arms came up to wrap around her tightly. “You don’t have to hate yourself,” she murmured against his hair. Her fingers stroked slowly through the silver locks. “I know I don’t.”

He couldn’t help but let a sad smile tug at the edge of his lips at her words. “You don’t make it easy for a guy to run away, do you?” All his life he’d been trying to run, away from his mistakes, from the people he knew would only be hurt for knowing him, and towards whatever self-imposed justice he thought made up for them. Somehow in the midst of it all, there was Sakura, always finding a way to keep him sane. She was always there to keep him from going too far.

“Maybe you should stop trying to run. Have you ever thought of that?”

Her words brought his head up to look at her, and her green gaze bore into his soul with the same seriousness as when her chakra had been stitching him back together only days ago. With most others, the gaze would feel intrusive, but not with her. Never with her.

It happened slowly at first. Kakashi wasn’t sure who initiated what, only that there was no hesitation. It wasn’t the first time they’d fallen into this, and selfishly, he prayed it wouldn’t be the last, though he could never find it in himself to voice his true affections for the girl who had been the only constant in his life besides death.

There was a part of him that wanted to resent the way her calloused fingers left chills in their wake as they traveled along his bare skin. He wanted to reject the way he longed to taste more of her even as he left openmouthed kisses along the strong lines of her stomach, but the thing about Sakura was that when he was with her, all of that melted away. He didn’t want to think anymore. He just wanted to be.

And, as he lay in bed the next morning, his legs tangled with hers, and his fingers lightly tracing the curve of her bare back while she slept on, he finally allowed his mind to wonder. Maybe someday, he would have the honor to wake to the sight of her pink hair splayed across the pillows every morning. Maybe someday, he’d be brave enough to tell her how he’d grown to feel about her. He could only hope that day would come soon.

Because of this they always fall asleep when people hang out with them. Most people think it’s pretty rude, Rinnah especially.

ღPowerღ

Type of Power~

Hemokinetics: they can control their own blood and any they touch. Usually, they form stake-like weapons since they're the easiest to make though they can make sharp edged weapons as well. Anything complex takes more energy and focus. They can only lose so much before they pass out from blood loss though they can absorb other people’s blood. Sommy can also sense injuries and illness in others and track people. They can also warm and cool their body temperature which allows their emo ass to wear their trenchcoat in the middle of summer.

Healing Factor: they heal faster than a normal human, but not at Deadpool or Wolverine levels. A cut or scrape takes anywhere from a minute or two to an hour or two to heal, bigger wounds take maybe a couple days. Cracked bones take about a day and broken bones can take up to a week depending. The problem with their healing is they can heal wrong very easily, like shattered bones can cause bone fragments to get lodged in muscle or joints which cause a lot of pain and they’re really hard to get out, bones can heal crooked which means Sommy has to re break them. When they were younger, they healed by producing a lot of scar tissue which is why old injuries still affect them/get stiff and stuff. They assume they got some bad internal injuries when they were a kid because they just get stabbing pains or they cough up blood. They know they can’t die from this but it scares the fuck out of Void. Sommy also can’t really have surgery or anything unless they counteract their healing ability, which they can do but since they still have old internal injuries they get pretty fucked up from that. They’re immune to blood borne illnesses but they can still get colds, the flu, stuff like that, they just recover faster. If they get too injured and don’t have enough energy to heal, their body starts to eat away at itself, if it gets too bad they go into a coma like state.

Other: They’re immune to mental manipulation from other anomalies, often the result is the feeling like someone is scraping at their brain. It’s not unbearable just uncomfortable and annoying. This goes for all anomalies.

Flaws~ they have to keep account of how much blood they've lost or else they will Die™, their healing factor will fuck them up if they’re not careful Accuracy~ relatively accurate? Control~ they're really good at the crude stakes and blades but anything too complex is difficult even if they're not fighting, though they get better with practice, they’re working on a claw thing

ღWeaponღ

Choice of Weapon(s): •hunting knife •handgun •shotgun, if they wanna get fancy Favorite/Main Weapon~ handgun Control~ pretty good Accuracy~ they are a great shot Flaws~ they always frickin run out of ammo because they never bring enough, they usually have to use a gun or something if they don’t plan on killing the person because they’d rather not show them their freaky blood power

ღRelationsღ

Mother~

Carol Childs. Sommy's birth mother, she was not ready for a kid and didn't want one either. She mostly liked to watch Sommy react from her yelling at them. She wasn't pure evil but she didn't have many good qualities either. She was the enforcer and the business part of the family business.

Joyce Booker. A police lieutenant, Joyce turned to adopting kids after witnessing too many shipped off to foster care. She tried her best in raising Sommy and Ophelia, giving them all the help she could think of, though she could be too over enthusiastic and overbearing at times. Sommy regrets not telling her how much they appreciated her. She was the kind of mom that the kid thinks is a little embarrassing but everyone else thinks is really cool.

Father~

Lyle Childs. He was a master scientist, the creator of the drug that caused Sommy’s powers. Sommy would have loved to hate him but he didn't interact with them long enough for them to know anything about him. Though Sommy did look him up after they were adopted, reading up on all of the terrible stuff he did.

Craig Booker. He was a quiet man, always worried about saying something wrong. However, he did love his children and tried to express that as much as he could, even when Sommy had gotten into Another fight and he had to go pick them up early from school again. Sommy liked just sitting with him because they felt like they didn't have to talk or say that everything was great.

Sister~

Ophelia Booker. She was 3 years older than Sommy, however, they both got along like they had known each other forever. They could talk to each other about all the stuff that had happened to them. Ophelia supported Sommy any way she could and Sommy did their best to lend a hand in Ophelia's cyborg rights activism. Even after they ran away, Sommy still donated to her cause every year. People would try to convince Ophelia that they were dead but she wouldn't listen and continued to look for Sommy for years. She was eventually rightfully pissed off when she found out they were still alive and had been hiding from her for years.

Cousin~

Connie “Void” Greenglass. Sommy and Void didn't really talk outside family get together's before Sommy disappeared. To be fair, Void was 3 years younger than them. However, they reunited after Sommy found them 7 years later. In that time, Void was working as a reporter, mostly writing fluff pieces, waiting for a big story. Sommy brought them the story of a criminal empire that had its fingers in almost every facet of the city. After minor convincing, Void agreed to write the story as long as they managed to dig up enough evidence. In their “investigation” time they saw more shit than they ever wanted. One of the worst times was when Sommy got their side ripped open by the guy they were supposed to be following. Void is a bit of a doormat and doesn't really call Sommy out on a lot of the shit they probably should. They also promise Sommy not to tell Ophelia about what they've been doing, which really does not go over well when Ophelia eventually finds out.

Friends~

Rinnah Iyver. Sommy and Rinnah don't get along due to their clashing personalities and the fact that Sommy's super annoying. Also due to the fact that Rinnah knows they’re involved with Endigo. Since her father was killed due to her mother’s inability to pay back her debt owed to Loorka, and her mother was in debt because of her drug addiction, Rinnah tends to blame the substance and anyone related to it. However, they both kind of have to get along because Sommy is best friends with Rinnah’s brother and Rinnah is dating Sommy's sister.

Cypher Nox. Sommy has a weird feeling around him, like someone’s scratching the back of their brain every time he talks, also they can't shake the feeling that he looks really familiar. Despite this they both get along well enough, often bonding over traumatic childhoods which Cypher is really cryptic about.

Viper Anguis. Sommy deemed Viper the “coolest” of the group. They often join him and Cypher for a drink. They also like to spar with him because he's a skilled hand to hand fighter due to his experience in an underground fight club.

Lacy Rosecrans. Sommy met her after hearing reports of weird mass mood fluctuations. After investigating the area they found Lacy, an anomaly with empathic abilities that she couldn’t control. Since she was one of the first anomalies Sommy had found at that point, and the most understanding and, well, normal, they bonded pretty quick, Sommy being like an older sibling to her. They both talk often and Sommy will do whatever is within their power to help her when she occasionally loses control over her abilities.

Asher Iravit. One of Void’s closest friends, after he told them about his ability to turn invisible, Void introduced him to Sommy. Ash is a bit too goofy for Sommy but they get along well, especially with having Void as a sort of buffer. He’s often called to “babysit” Sommy by Void when they’re especially worrying them.

Margot Mentior. She’s a counterfeiter who provides Sommy with passports, fake IDs, and other documents. They both met when she tried to ask Sommy out at a bar, after declining, Sommy and her began talking. They found out both their jobs were outside the law and Sommy did their best to warn her about Adelaide. Margot appreciated the advice and offered Sommy a discount if they ever needed her services. They stayed in contact and she is one of the few people Sommy trusts almost absolutely.

Best Friend~

Azariah Iyver. Sommy saved his life after he was attacked by a couple assholes. He lost an eye but probably have lost more if Sommy hadn't stepped in and kicked their asses. After recovering, Azzy realized he had never thanked the person who had saved his life. Using his computer skills and connection to other hackers, he tracked Sommy down. They didn't remember saving him and he didn't bring it up. They talked for a long time online. They told him about Adelaide and he convinced them to do something about her. Azzy is probably the only one who believes Sommy has the capability to change for the better.

Enemies~

Adelaide Creed. Originally Sommy viewed her as a parental figure. She taught them the ins and outs of the criminal business and started to groom them to be the second in command of her empire. After a while though, Sommy realized that she really wasn't as nice as she had originally seemed. They realized she was a monster. Adelaide had made Sommy her project and spent her time gaslighting and manipulating them into what she wanted.

Other~

Needlehands. He's a back alley monster doctor who does as much experimentation on his patients as he does actually fixing them. After his creator died, Needlehands tried to continue his work. He met Sommy when they were bleeding out from, what looked like, a half decapitation. He was amazed how they were still alive and patched them up. After finding out about their abilities, he just wanted to study them further. Needlehands made a deal with Sommy, he'd fix them up and help them out and they would let him look into what actually happened to them in regards to their abilities. After a while, Needlehands began to get really protective over them so now Sommy has a monster dad. He also helps Sommy research Endigo, its effects and a way to counter it.

Lewis “Trace” Harvey. He's a mediocre hacker employed by Adelaide. Sommy started blackmailing him to get him to do things for them. He's a disrespectful, insensitive asshole but Sommy has to put up with him if they want anything techy. However, after they meet Azzy they planned on killing Trace to make sure he didn't spill any info on them. Lucky for him, Void stepped in to watch him which they later regret.

Hydrea “Drea” Vannie. She is obsessed with Sommy, constantly trying to be their girlfriend. Too bad for her, Sommy absolutely despises her. They would love to kill her but Drea’s dad is a high ranking politician and she's also employed by Adelaide. Sommy assumes she was hired just to annoy them as Adelaide has said she finds her “very amusing”.

Johnny Clayborn. He also works for Adelaide and is one of the few people that genuinely scare Sommy. After he first got hired, Sommy was tasked to follow and observe his methods. Turns out he’s a cannibal that eats most of the people he kills and dissolves the rest. His love of zombies and weird, quiet nature really doesn’t help the unbelievably creepy vibe he gives off at all times. Sommy tried to hide the fact that he scared the piss out of them, especially when he kept inviting them for dinner.

Crushes~

none

Past Relationships~ none

Current Relationship~

none

Relationship Status~

single, forever

ღLifeღ

Birth/Infancy~ Sommy's birth parents were about as criminal as you could get. Involved in drug cooking, they were both hailed as geniuses due to their creation of a new drug, named Endigo. Taken as an adult, the side effects could vary from sleep paralysis type hallucinations to seizures. However, children exposed before birth and who have suffered traumatic events can develop brain anomalies leading to strange abilities and for some reason, strange eye color.

Childhood~ Sommy was involved in their parents' drug manufacturing, doing small tasks like packaging and the like as soon as they were able. They saw more than their fair share of shit during that time though they don't remember much. When they were 9, their parents were caught and arrested. Sommy seemed to be headed for an orphanage when they were adopted by a couple, the Bookers. Mrs. Booker was the Sergeant involved in the arrest of Sommy's birth parents. Along with new parents, Sommy now had a sister as well, Ophelia Booker, she was 2 years older than them. The Bookers did their best to take care of Sommy and help them recover. Teenhood~ Sommy was a handful as a teenager. They were rebellious and often lashed out at those around them because they didn't know what else to do. Their parents tried to curb this behavior by signing them up for fighting classes, hoping that they wouldn't have to fight other kids then. In this time Sommy's powers were also developing, though they keep this mostly to themself in fear of being seen as a freak, especially by their new family. They didn't want their irrational fear of being abandoned because of being so terrible to come through. At the age of 16, both Sommy's parents were killed in a home invasion gone wrong. They were out with their sister at the time. They always suspected there was more to it than that though. A lot of evidence just didn't add up. Infuriated by everything getting swept under the rug, Sommy ran away hoping to find out the truth. AdultHood~ After killing the man who was directly responsible for their parents' death, Sommy realized that they couldn't go back home to Ophelia like this. They viewed themself as a horrible person and was at a loss of what to do with their life. They felt like they didn’t deserve their adopted family’s love so they started using the Childs name again. Spiraling down, they started taking jobs as bodyguards for low lives and then that escalated to doing hit jobs. During that time, they made friends with a monster of a back alley doctor nicknamed Needlehands who did just as much experimentation on people as he did actually patching them up. Obviously, Sommy raised him up to be their father figure. They also fell into business with a woman named Adelaide Creed. She ran an empire on the backs of criminals, getting her hands on anything she could use to further her power and wealth. As more of a personal project, she warped Sommy's sense of purpose and self-image and gaslighted them until they couldn't remember the person they used to be. She wanted Sommy to be her successor, especially after finding out about their abilities. Eventually managing to snap out of the bloody haze they had been in for seemingly years, Sommy realized how much of a monster Adelaide really was. They decided they needed to tear her down from the inside. It was around this time that Sommy started to notice vague reports about kids with strange abilities. Realizing there were more people like themself, Sommy started looking for answers, eventually realizing it was their parent’s drug that was causing the anomalies. They took it upon themself to help these kids and keep them out of the government’s, or anyone’s radar. By blackmailing a chemist with reports of him falsifying results causing children's deaths, Sommy managed to get a sort of reverse version of Endigo that nullified abilities for a short while. They still had all their parents research that they had stolen years ago. Sommy killed the chemist after he gave them instructions on how to make the stuff. They then set out to help as many kids as they could because if they weren’t gonna do it who was? They also saw it as fallout from their parents, which fell on them to clean up.

OldHood~ Sommy continues to deal with the anomalies even after they outlive everyone they had known. Due to their healing ability, they can’t really die and just focus on moving forward and doing what they can.

netflix and chill.

TAGGING: Lili, Cole @ole-cole

LOCATION: Cole’s apartment. Vancouver, Canada.

TIMEFRAME: July 2nd, 2017.

NOTES: Lili and Cole have a quiet night in.

WARNINGS: Explicit sexual content.

Lili was on her hands and knees on the floor of Cole's living room, stretching out as many blankets as she could possibly find and propping up pillows all around so that their limbs didn't jab into any unpleasant corners or edges. They could've just laid out on the couch; but the floor was so much more fun to spread out on. Once she was satisfied with their 'bedding', she reached for the remote and switched on their Netflix, letting the screen boot up and then clicked her tongue softly so that she could call Daphne over. It'd be pointless to call for Kahlua; she was on the heels of Cole, always, who was either in the bathroom or the bedroom, Lili didn't know. She was focused on getting them all set up anyways. Her white kitten slowly rounded the corner and let out a meow, stretching her body out so that her claws extended into the carpet before she slinked over to Lili's pillow and plopped herself down on top of it. As usual. Shaking her head, Lili pulled a blanket over herself and laid down with her arm propped up underneath her and her green eyes fluttered shut in peace. A knock sounded at the door and without missing a beat or opening her eyes, Lili shouted, "Babe! Food!" She was /exhausted/ from putting together their cuddle den. She needed a tiny break and Cole was better at figuring out tips anyways. Lili had always sucked at math.

Cole: Cole had decided to have a quick shower after their road trip, wanting to was the sweat and grime of travelling in the hot Jeep off of him. Kahlua and taken to laying in front of the shower whenever he was in there as if she was on guard. He was just running a towel through his hair after pulling on a simple t-shirt and jeans when Lili shouted that the food was there, grinning he dropped the towel over the back of the chair grabbing his wallet on the way to the door, paying the delivery guy handing over a generous tip. Heading in the living room Kahlua right at his heels he stopped at the kitchen counter popping the food down and taking in her masterwork, the blankets spread out on the floor the gorgeous view of the city spread out before them through the wall of windows encasing the room. "What are we watching tonight? " he asked smiling as he started to take the food out the bag and plate up.

Lili peered her head around the corner to watch Cole pay the courier, any shameless opportunity to check out her boyfriend one that she took. She snapped back to attention quickly before he could call her out for her blatant ogling. Sitting up straight and arranging the blankets around her lap, Lili smiled at him from over the couch blocking him partially from view. "Whatever we can find!" She cheerfully offered back, before letting out a soft chuckle. "No worries - no Big Daddy tonight." She'd just have to keep her appreciation for his earlier work to herself because he groaned and whined too much. Pushing the pillow that Daphne had commandeered a little ways away from her, the kitten barely moved and Lili scooted her back towards the cushions of the couch as she waited for her plate to be brought over to her. "What about a scary movie?" She asked him, her brows wriggling playfully. "That way you can protect me from the monsters when I get scared."

Cole: "You just want an excuse to cling to me and cuddle out, I knew my habit of putting my arm around you all the time wasn't just benefiting me." He grinned as he handed her the plate and sat down beside her shifting a little to make himself comfortable before doing exactly as he said draping his arm around her shoulder as he picked up the TV controller starting to shift through the neflix horror listing quickly skipping the Katie Mcgrath horror series with a grunt of annoyance. "How about clinical?" He questioned bringing the description up, "A bit psychological but people have said it's good." He grinned seeing one of the listings, "Or....." He brought up the disciption of curse of sleeping beauty "...We get some amo against mads while seeing if it's any good" He turned to her smiling before it broke into a bit of a menacing grin.

Lili took the plate out of Cole's hands and began to push her fork through it, eating while Cole tried to find them something to watch. She wasn't a fan of horror movies at /all/, but she could stomach them if it meant a ready made excuse to do exactly as Cole said - cling onto him and cuddle the fuck out of him. Her eyes scanned through each movie he came across and once she saw him stop on the last, slapped her hand lightly against his knee with her green eyes wide. "Yes!" She struggled to swallow, not wanting to speak with her mouth full and gave another eager nod, bouncing up and down lightly in excitement. "Yes, that one! I wanna see Mads!" She had never seen it before and had been wanting to check it out, she just hadn't wanted to watch it by herself and she knew Madelaine wouldn't watch it with her. Nobody ever liked to watch their old material with her, rude. Turning her face to see Cole's smile, Lili chuckled and pushed his cheek away teasingly from hers. "Quit with the creepy grin unless you want me scared before it even starts." Lili looped her leg around Cole's as she got comfortable, eating and waiting for him to press play. "C'mere, Kahlua. I need you to protect me too."

Cole: He chuckled at her enthused reaction ducking his face into her hair for a moment as he laughed before sitting up and pressing the play button on the film, the strange opening scene in a desert taking over the screen. "I hope we spot her easily something tells me it's lack of acclaim means it's not the best of films." He grinning as he started to move around the food on his own plate putting a forkful in his mouth. He knew he was carrying a lot more embarrassing movies on his imdb, and cv, but at least he could hide behind the fact his mom had chosen to put him and Dylan in them not him, he hoped Lili never wasted her time on some of them. "Okay no creepy grinning just open arms." He laughed tightening his arm around her as emphasis hand resting on her waist as she lay against him. He watched as Kahlua ran to the happily curling herself up at their feet joining the pile of limbs already form. He looked up at the screen in time to see a girl in a very ridiculous outfit supposedly the sleeping beauty, off to a not so promising start then.

Lili wiggled around in Cole's arms, resting the back of her head into the open curve of his neck and resting his hands comfortably around her waist. She glanced down at their interlocked fingers, giving the sight a soft smile before directing her attention back to the screen. She let out a chuckle, unable to help it. Maybe this movie wouldn't be scary - it was shaping up to be a little ridiculous. And no matter how she tried to pay attention to the screen, she couldn't help but get distracted by her boyfriend. At first it was watching as she moved his fingers up and down the tan flesh of her stomach or leaning back and pressing soft kisses into his neck. She wriggled more and more as the movie dragged on, struggling to get comfortable before emitting a soft sigh and turning around, straddling Cole's waist and cupping his cheeks so that he had to stare straight at her. "Hi," she grinned at him. "Pay attention to me. Talk to me. This movie is weird as fuck."

Cole: She was killing him the film was impossible to focus on for it's poor story line even the jump scares not doing their job, but with her tantalising playing and guiding of his fingers he was finding it more and more difficult even feign an interest in the movie. "We haven't seen Mads yet" He smirked hands going to her waist without thinking sliding them down to her hips and gripping pulling her closer to him. "Sure you just want to talk baby? You could have very well done that from where you were a moment ago" He smiled his cheeks pushing and pressing against her palms as he did in what he was sure was an amusing image for the girl situated on top of him. "It's pretty shit" He laughed circling his arms around her waist sitting up slightly to bring his face closer to hers.

Lili couldn't resist the urge to cup his cheeks harder and Lili stuck her tongue out playfully at her boyfriend as his face meshed into a comic expression staring back at her. "It's very shit," she corrected him and then she dropped her hands as her expression softened when he leaned his face closer to her. Lili had moments she liked to call waves washing over her - sometimes she could just be staring at Cole and a complete rush of../something/ came over her and it made her grip onto him tighter. She usually kept the mushiness inside because it was her own secret little thing to hold onto but Lili couldn't resist slipping out, "I love you," and pecking his lips before wriggling once more in his lap. "And yes! I want to talk. Like..tell me about what you want for your birthday!" Lili's face lit up, knowing she was going to have fun putting together little surprises for him. "Anything you want, and I'll make it happen."

Cole: "I love you" He smiled at her words, sometimes she couldn't help but just say it to him at random occasions and he loved it. He sighed kissing her happily as she shifted her hips teasingly. "I'm assuming saying you in some extremely sexy underwear somewhere private or not so private if you exhibitionist side is becoming more needy." He smirked before letting it break into a genuine smile "I don't know what I want, other than a lens I've been eyeing up recently but I'm not letting you get that for me because it's really expensive. How about seeing as we're probably going to be working on my birthday we go on a trip, I know your Mom said she may come up in August but if she waits till at least the week after we can have a long weekend somewhere." He thought for a moment. "and I'm realising I suggest getaways too often" he laughed ducking his head to rest on her shoulder kiss the soft skin there thinking for moment. "I don't know what I want" He grinned sitting up tall again.

Lili rolled her eyes playfully. She had a feeling Cole was going to make /some/ sort of birthday sex remark. "Obviously you're getting very good birthday sex," she smirked back at him and tugged on the collar of his shirt before relaxing more against his frame. Her back was to the television still and her legs were now fully wrapped around his waist, Lili's chest flush against Cole's as she fidgeted with every inch of him she could touch. "But sexy lingerie - noted." Giving him a small wink, Lili licked her lips as she listened to him /not/ list things he wanted..and a full pout formed on her lips when he was done speaking. "Cole!" She whined, laughing, and bumped his chest lightly with her closed fist in indignation. "You are no help at all. /I'm/ going to have a full list of what I want," Lili beamed at him. Her birthday was a month after his and Lili loved her birthday. A whole day celebrating her? Sign her up. "We can go somewhere but that's not going to be all you get." Her eyebrow arched up at him, a warning and then she sighed, shaking her head affectionately. "Thank you for being absolutely /no/ help, baby."

Cole: He grinned as she promised some mind blowing birthday sex noting to himself that he might have to drag her away to his trailer at some point during work and lock the door to be safe, because he wasn't likely to get through a long day on set on set without a little time to unwind and release some energy he knew would be pent up. His eyes dropped to her hands on his collar amused eyes landing on hers as she spoke pursing his lips before they broke into a smile again full and wide eyes following her tongue and it brushed along her lips chucking as she wined at his lack of answer. "You put me on the spot I haven't really thought about it you know I'm not very materialistic, joke gifts, camera equipment and camping gear are the stuff seem to think about most, as long as you don't try and buy me a whole new wardrobe you'll be on a good route to something I like." He shook his head amused. "So you'd rather I pick from or complete a list than surprise you with how well I know you and my choice of perfectly thought out and fitting gifts?" He joked but there was a true question in there because he was now genuinely curious he already had a few gifts for her hidden in the top of his closet slowly collecting a load of things for her as he saw them. "Maybe we can finally go skinny dipping but somewhere a lot more private if it's warm enough"

Lili considered this new bit of information. Naturally she had pre-selected gifts in her head already but it wouldn't hurt to hear what he actually wanted, and get him something he had been desiring. She wasn't an expert on camera equipment so she figured camping supplies would be her safest bet. "Mm, okay," she nodded, finally satisfied with his answers. Smiling sheepishly at his question, Lili shrugged her shoulders before releasing an exhale of breath. "They're..options!" She beamed at him, her green eyes twinkling. "In case you get stuck. I do it with my Christmas list too, just so you know." It used to drive her parents /nuts/, getting the long list from Lili but at least nobody could complain that she didn't tell them what she wanted. "But I do like to be surprised so..surprise away." Waving a hand, Lili grinned at Cole and then tugged at the hem of his pants teasingly. "Mm. That'd be nice. Why don't we go a little out of the way and find a lake or something? That'd be so nice."

Cole: "Ah... options... I see." He smirked bringing his hand to run through her hair affectionately his other arm still holding her in place. "I'm a very talent gift giver darling." He grinned rubbing his thumb along the gap between her top and bottoms brushing the exposed skin there. "But I will be sure to give the list a once over and choose something off their too to add to my own choices so I know you have something you really want to." He smiled leaning closer to her kiss her lips lightly. He moved back arm still around as his eyes roamed over her. "I like the sound of that, maybe we can make it a little tradition now and then, to head on a road trip to find a lake somewhere in the middle of no where and go for a clothing optional swim" He grinned, "maybe even a night one if you'll agree to one night in the tent on my jeep after."

Lili liked the sound of /tradition/. As in, this was going to be something that continued for as long as possible. "I like that too," she agreed with him with a smile on her lips. "Our little urban adventures." As he suggested camping, Lili's nose crinkled but then she shrugged her shoulders. Why not? If she was with Cole, it wouldn't bother her as much as having to camp out by herself. "We can go camping with your Jeep," she nodded her head and ran her fingers through her blonde hair. "But you have to protect me from the wild animals here and keep me warm when it gets cold at night. Be my sexy mountain man." Lili grinned at Cole as she said this before reaching her fingers up to brush through his dark curls. "/I/ want birthday sex when September rolls around too, you know." She tugged the curl that was currently wrapped around her finger and pushed her hips a little into his.

Cole: "I was thinking not so urban adventures with the skinny dipping something tells me going nude into the waters off the downtown area would get us in a lot of trouble, and I know you're feeling adventurous but that kind of stuff could cause a scandal in the tabloids baby, don't want us nude on the home page of Perez or something." He chuckled teasing her choice of words. He smiked at her reaction to the idea of camping, "You do realise avoiding animals coming near us is exactly why I installed my tent on top of my jeep. when we're sleeping I pull the ladder in no one can get to use remotely easily." His mind caught up with what she had called him a strong laugh falling from his lips as he threw his head back whole body shaking with the laugh "Did you just...." he tried to get the words out between laughs and struggled immensely "..Calll me..... mountain man?" He shook his head still laughing. He smirked at her words nodding, "Oh trust me there will be a lot of birthday sex." He sighed as she pushed into him, "What happened to just talking?"

Lili chuckled, knowing Cole was right. "Not so urban adventures," she corrected herself and then her brows arched as his words finally clicked together. A tent..on top of his car? Either Lili really was a camping newbie, or Cole was one strange camper. "We're gonna camp on top of your Jeep?" She asked, her nose wrinkling even though it wasn't an unpleasant mental image. And it /did/ make her feel safer. She'd much prefer to do that than to wake up on the hard ground or freeze to death in the woods somewhere. Her attention was brought back to Cole when he started laughing and blushing, Lili shoved his shoulder gently. "I did and don't laugh at me or I'm never complimenting you ever again!" She threatened, the fake threat making her lips curve up in amusement despite her best efforts. Due to him teasing her, Lili didn't feel as bad as she had before for continuing her own teasing efforts now. "I am talking," she replied to him innocently with a much more deliberate roll of her hips against his and she grinned at him. "I think we're having a very pleasant conversation, don't you?"

Cole: "Have you not seen the pictures from mine and KJ's trips? You were messaging worried about if we would get eaten by Coyotes and me telling you we were on top of the car and the pictures KJ posted didn't make you realise what the black covered thing on top my jeep was?" He looked at her for a moment wondering how all this time it had really escaped her notice he had a folded tent attached to the roof of his car at all times. "So yes baby if we camp it would be on top of the jeep" He laughed at her crinkled up face at the thought. He grinned as she pushed his shoulder the action not doing anything to actually budge him in any way. "Mountain man is a compliment? I hardly have the mountain man look no long hair and luscious beard wielding a axe to chop my own wood." He smirked teasing her as he could see she wasn't actually upset. He gripped her hips tighter as she started to roll them in his lap trying to still them at least slightly, "You're a tease." He shook his head hands running slowly along her thighs and back up.

Lili "..I thought that was just to carry all your stuff," Lili admitted sheepishly. She had no knowledge of camping; none at all. The closest she had ever come to it was camping out in a trailer when she was younger and reading the Goosebumps books as the rain poured down outside of it. This was a new concept and it was intriguing her. She might be a bigger fan of camping if it meant she didn't actually have to be sequestered out somewhere on the cold ground in just a flimsy tent, miles away from civilization. She knew Cole enjoyed that but Lili enjoyed her amenities and she wasn't ashamed to say she much preferred to be rooming in a hotel room. Rolling her eyes slightly at his comment, the flush still stayed on Lili's cheeks as her comment hadn't quite come out the way she meant it. "Okay, I /meant/ my sexy outdoorsman then. You know," she began to say as her fingertips brushed up and down his arm in movements to mimic what he was doing to her thighs. "Catching fish..and firewood..and starting a fire." The more she pictured it, the more Lili very much enjoyed these mental images of Cole being primal. "It's hot," she licked her lips and connected eyes with Cole, grinning as he put a firm stop to her light grinding. "Aw. You're not having fun, baby?"

Cole: He smiled pressing his lips together slightly with a nod, "It could have been I suppose yes." He kept his hand running along her thigh as he spoke smiling broader "But no baby that's a tent I'll show you a picture of it set up later." He chuckled he had ones on his phone but he had not want or rush to move from the position they were in to even reach the metre or two to gab it with something not remotely important at this moment in time. He knew Lili wouldn't likely take overly to camping but maybe just one night with a mignight swim and being able to watch the sunrise from the tent in the morning might be acceptable for her and not something she ended up resenting before getting to the latter. He'd look otherwise for some nice cabin rentals or quaint private hotels. "I know you did" He grinned wrapping his arm around her waist before pulling her flush against him. "Attractive to the primal hunter man idea baby, good to know" He leaned forward pressing his lips to her neck trailing down her chest to the edge of her shirt before straightening up "Oh I'm having fun don't worry." He smirked as her hand around her waist played with the hem of her bottoms.

Lili knew that Cole was speaking but a funny sort of buzzing noise had come alive in her brain the minute his lips began to trail over her chest. She moved her fingers to slide through his dark hair, gripping the ends of it lightly as he tongued her pulse spot and then Lili made an indignant sound as he stopped. No fair. He was either supposed to let her have full control over this game or he was supposed to play along, not come in and try to be the winner. She glanced pointedly down at his fingers trailing across the top of her shorts and then she stood up, tugging the short material down her legs and swiftly pulling off her top in one smooth motion. She had skipped a bra today - so it was only her tank that landed over Cole's face as she flung it at him. "I'm having fun too," she gave him a smirk that could have rivaled his own and then turned, hips swaying, to move into his bedroom. She picked up the pace slightly, laughing as she took a flying leap onto his bed and stretched out, breathing in the smell of Cole on his sheets and staring up at the ceiling.

Cole: Cole pulled the shirt off of his face chucking it to the side as he watched her moving away from him down the hall to his room not moving to get up yet as he enjoyed the way her nickers hugged her ass biting his lip slightly as his eyes took in her figure as she moved. "Fuck" he breathed out as she disappeared into his room and he finally got up to follow her, mind reeling with how blessed he was for this ridiculous woman. He near ran to the room slowing as he got to the door leaning against the frame as soon as she was in his view again, he tilted his head taking in the sight of her spread out on his bed in nothing but her panties, feeling his jeans become tighter then they already were from her previous teasing but adamant to keep his cool. "You look good on my bed" He smirked not moving towards her yet as he took in the sight of her hungrily before finally stepping towards the bed, "A little improvement though to the image." He grinned climbing onto the foot of the bed leaning over her as his fingers hooked under band of her underwear pulling them down her slender legs and throwing them to the side, moving over her again as his lips pressed against the skin of her stomach teasing his way down.

Lili glanced up when she heard Cole's footsteps near his door and settling herself up on her elbows, she grinned at the predatory gaze in his eyes. "You look good from where I am too," she flirted back and let out a light squeal of happiness as he crawled over top of her and swiftly pulled down her underwear. Her laughter soon turned into a soft moan at the sight of his mess of hair brushing against her stomach, and she moved her fingers to twist the smooth locks around them. "Don't tease," Lili let out a needy whine and placed her legs around Cole's neck. She was by no means a pillow princess but she couldn't deny that this was one of her favorite ways for Cole to get her off. "Wait, take off your shirt," she demanded and bit her lip. Any chance to admire Cole's muscles and his arms was one she was going to take. "Please," she added quickly, shooting him a sweet smile.

Cole: He smirked against her stomach lips brushing along towards her hip bone not moving towards where he knew she wanted him to not yet her words warning him not to tease only spurring him on to want to do exactly that especially after her behaviour in the living room, he bit down lightly on her slightly jutting hip bone before shifting up to removing his t-shirt, her soft please making him more willing to let her a least have that before he continued to try and rile her up as much as possible, taking his time a little as he grinned keeping his eyes locked on her. "Better?" He smirked as he moved back to his previous position hands brushing up her thighs as he teased her lips and hands refusing to make their way completely to her heated core.

Lili licked her lips as she watched Cole slide his shirt off and throw it on the floor to join her underwear, shifting underneath him and letting out a soft mewl at his teeth nipping her hip bone. He looked like the picture definition of sin right now - dark hair falling over his eyes, muscles flexing as he balanced himself over her, blue eyes darkening as he stared at her. Lili wriggled once more, trying desperately to appease the friction building up between her thighs. "No," she shot back at him with a glare to match his smirk. "I'll get myself off," she threatened but her smile was ruining the chance for that to become true. She couldn't make herself reach those levels of pleasure that Cole's tongue and fingers could. Her whole body shuddered as he smoothed his palms up her thighs and she stared at him, green eyes pleading and pink bottom lip jutting out in wanton desire. "Please," she whispered, her fingers curling through his waves and tugging gently, trying to angle his head properly. "I need you so bad, baby, please."

Cole: "No you won't" He said smugly his lips brushing against her heated skin as he spoke in response to her little empty threat. He was well aware of how much power he had over her when it came to giving her pleasure orally, and he too often wielded hand thrived on that fact. He bit her lightly as he hands wove into his hair eyes moving up to lock with hers as he finally brought his finger to her centre brushing them along the soaked folds not breaking eye contact with her as he still brushed his lips and running his tongue along her skin just above where he knew she wanted them fighting her attempts to push him just yet, two fingers moving into her slick folds as he kissed her skin once more before moving to where she truly wanted him finally tongue running over the sensitive bundle of nerves as his fingers started to pump in and out of her.

Lili sucked in a deep breath, her fingers beginning to shake even though she continued to thread through Cole's hair. It was an affectionate move that she couldn't help but doing - her fascination with his unruly locks had been high even before they started dating. She opened her mouth to beg once more, not even caring how desperate she sounded, when Cole finally acquiesced her wanting and all that escaped was a loud moan. She often got teased by him for how, erm, /vocal/ she could get in the bedroom but the perk of having an apartment all to themselves was that she could scream/moan/cry out to her heart's desire. The feeling of Cole's tongue dipping through her wet heat made Lili clench tightly around him and the heel of her foot dug into the still flexing muscles of his back. "Fuck," she stuttered out and tugged a little harder at his hair. The free hand that wasn't tangled in his curls and guiding his face deeper into her slid up her stomach, cupping her breast, before she clenched at the pillow currently supporting her head. "/Cole../"

Cole: The feeling of her hands pulling at his hair cause a light but pleasurable pain on his scalp spured his movement along as his tongue and lips busied themselves with her soaked folds, fingers brushing the walls of her heat adding another finger as he went his free hands pressing along her stomach now and slowly around her side to wrap his arm around her waist, the feeling of her heel pressing against him turning him on more, he slender leg draped around him sinfully, he just wanted to see her let go and melt under his touch, his eyes moving up to watch her as she reacted to his actions, eyes tracing over what he could see of her features from his position

Lili sighed out slowly, feeling Cole drag her further down against him and she lowered her eyes to take in the small purple and blue marks from where his previous nips had already begun fading. "You've branded me," she remarked drowsily, her words slurring together as her breath hitched once more as he slid in another digit. She can feel his nose pressed against her clit as his tongue slides lazily in and out and Lili clenched the mattress underneath her. Her knuckles were turning white from the pressure, from having to hold back her impending orgasm because she didn't want to let go just yet. There was another curl of his tongue and Lili jerked once more, crying out Cole's name loudly again as she fisted his hair roughly and she came, all over his tongue, her hips jerking erratically against his face. Her thighs were still shaking and she panted out softly, wanting to push his face back between her once more and also clench her legs together, too sensitive to even move right now.

Cole: He groaned against her heat her words continuing his quest until she finally let go, lapping his tongue along her folds hungrily as she road out the waves of her orgasm hands moving to grip her hips as she started to buck into his face. He slowly moved from between her thighs but didn't go far resting his cheek on her hip as he traces the marks he had left on her skin, "something tells me you don't mind being branded like this baby." He smiled before kissing one of the marks lightly. "Especially with the memories seeing any lasting marks may bring about." His look as he brought his eyes to meet hers more smug then she would probably like, but nothing more than she would expect from him by now. He could see how sated she was laying in a blissed out state, he watched her as she slowly came down from the high not moving other than to run his fingers over her hip.

Lili he was right. She didn't mind looking in the mirror afterwards and seeing the telling affects of him. Running her fingers over bruises and marks only made her feel like she belonged to him, and that made her feel special. Her fingers curled through his hair lazily, Lili's chest moving up and down slowly as she regained her normal breathing and then she sighed. "C'mere," she told him quietly and patted the spot next to her. She hadn't pulled down the sheets but her body was still so heated up that she could feel the flush and sweat droplets rolling down her, not needing anything but a cold shower at the moment. "I wanna kiss you," she continued in the same soft tone and smiled at him, tucking her bottom lip in between her teeth. Lili always got a little shy after sex, never unable to help playing the submissive kitten to Cole's dominant and just wanting him to hold her and take care of her.

Cole: He smiled up at he lifting he leg from around him and moving to lay besides her, arms wrapping around her waist as her pulled her to lay on him, now realising he was still in extremely restricted jeans as her nude body lay against the corse material, hand cupping her ass as the other tangled in her slightly sweaty locks bringing her closer to him as his lips met hers in a heated kiss, the thought of her tasting herself as his tongue brushed against his always a turn on after pleasuring her like that. He wasn't remotely thinking about sorting his own situation the feel of her body pressed against him enough for a moment, and if she just wanted to clean herself up he knew it wouldn't take long to get himself off as she did. "You're fucking gorgeous after I've had my way with you" he grinned barely pulling away to do so

Lili bit her lip harder at the feel of coarse denim brushing up against her and she knew she should reach in, help Cole out, but she still felt too jelly-legged to move. Smiling against his mouth as he kissed her, Lili pulled back to press a lingering kiss on the corner of his mouth and then adjusted herself over him. She could feel his erection pressing up against her leg and running a hand over it gently, Lili moved her head to look at Cole. "Charmer," she teased him and moved in to press a kiss to his neck before she unzipped his jeans and finally slid her hand over the defined length straining against his boxers. "Want me to help you here or in the shower?"

My computer crashed and while I lost almost everything, I had backed up my blog files back in April. While I’m not starting from scratch I have lost a whole months worth of work and as such I might have some disjointed posts and potential photo repeats. Bear with me while I figure it all out.

FairyLoot: May ‘Save the Kingdom’ Box

I had quite the break from FairyLoot – my last box was June 2017, so almost a year. And they’ve had some amazing boxes in that time, just no themes/books that caught my interest. When they announced the May theme, and the book hint was enough for me to know it was a book I was anticipating, I knew I had to order. I just did a single purchase as I’m not in a position to be making a full subscription but I’ll be keeping an eye on future themes (as always) since I love FairyLoot boxes and I know you guys love reading my reviews of them. There was a special prize in three of the May boxes, they called it the Fairy Queen’s Dowry – unfortunately I didn’t win but it made opening the box more exciting.

Anyway, lets get into the unboxing and review!

As always we start with the box itself, it’s strong and sturdy and arrived in one piece. I’ve heard that a lot of people were receiving damaged boxes so I’m very thankful that mine arrived in one piece. They use purple packing worms inside to protect the items included.

The intro/spoiler card is really cool, when they announced the theme I instantly fell in love with this artwork and I’ll definitely be putting it up on my wall. The writing on the back is clear and easy to read. But yeah, I love this art.

So the first item I pulled out was this Remnant lip scrub by Geeky Clean. There were three variations that went out – one for each kingdom. Morrighan, Venda and Dalbreck. I received Dalbreck which is melon flavoured. I actually haven’t read the Remnant Chronicles by Mary E. Pearson yet but I look forward to finding out what these kingdoms are and their importance.

Next we have this Norgard bath bomb by Little Heart Gifts inspired by the book of the month – it’s moonstone and berries scented and is absolutely beautiful. I don’t even want to use it it’s so stunning.

We have two promotional items for upcoming books included in this box; the first being a bookmark for Smoke in the Sun by Renee Ahdieh the sequel to Flame in the Mist.

Up next we have some ‘WAKE UP, it’s time to save the kingdom!’ English Breakfast tea by The Tea Leaf Co. I don’t like tea so I’ll be putting this in my giveaway box.

The second promotional item is this tarot card for Legendary, the sequel to Caraval by Stephanie Garber. The first run of these books have 4 exclusive designs on the actual books –

You are your own best weapon.

Okay I’m excited for this one, even though I haven’t read The Winners Trilogy by Marie Rutkoski. I’ve just been loving coasters lately and I think this quote and design is so pretty! Which makes sense because it was designed by Evie Bookish. I know I’ll get a lot of use out of this coaster.

Up next we have these Wyrd Mark Page Flags by Fictontea Designs inspired by the wyrd marks in the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. These will be great for marking and reviewing books! I can’t wait til the final book is out so I can try and binge read the series.

Fear is only your enemy if you allow it to be.

The last item in the box before the book pouch is this book sleeve designed by Reverie & Ink, with a quote from An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir. I’ve been using and loving my book sleeves lately and this one is just a bit smaller than the others I have so it’ll be perfect for my paperbacks and smaller hardcovers! I love the quote and I think the design is really nice. It is quote soft and not as stiff as my other ones so I guess time will tell if it protects my precious books.

Book pouch.

Monthly Theme Bookmark

And now for the book…

Onyx & Ivory by Mindee Arnett! I am so excited for this book, I’ve already read half of it and I’m loving it so far! Very excited to have this special edition of it! It’s a YA fantasy with, what I guess qualifies as, a second-chance romance and a lot of horse love and appreciation! Not only that but forbidden magic and a need to save the kingdom!

Sprayed Pages

They call her Traitor Kate. It’s a title Kate Brighton inherited from her father after he tried to assassinate the high king years ago. Now Kate lives as an outcast, clinging to the fringes of society as a member of the Relay, the imperial courier service. Only those most skilled in riding and bow hunting ride for the Relay; and only the fastest survive, for when dark falls, the nightdrakes—deadly flightless dragons—come out to hunt. Fortunately, Kate has a secret edge: she is a wilder, born with magic that allows her to influence the minds of animals. But it’s this magic that she needs to keep hidden, as being a wilder is forbidden, punishable by death or exile. And it’s this magic that leads her to a caravan massacred by nightdrakes in broad daylight—the only survivor her childhood friend, her first love, the boy she swore to forget, the boy who broke her heart.

The high king’s second son, Corwin Tormane, never asked to lead. Even as he waits for the uror—the once-in-a-generation ritual to decide which of the king’s children will succeed him—he knows it’s always been his brother who will assume the throne. And that’s fine by him. He’d rather spend his days away from the palace, away from the sight of his father, broken with sickness from the attempt on his life. But the peacekeeping tour Corwin is on has given him too much time to reflect upon the night he saved his father’s life—the night he condemned the would-be killer to death and lost the girl he loved. Which is why he takes it on himself to investigate rumors of unrest in one of the remote city-states, only for his caravan to be attacked—and for him to be saved by Kate.

With their paths once more entangled, Kate and Corwin have to put the past behind them. The threat of drakes who attack in the daylight is only the beginning of a darker menace stirring in the kingdom—one whose origins have dire implications for Kate’s father’s attack upon the king and will thrust them into the middle of a brewing civil war in the kingdom of Rime.

This month (and possibly for awhile now, or in the future?) the author letter backs this wonderful piece of art featuring the two main characters from Onyx & Ivory. I love the art, I just have two issues… The first being that I usually keep the author letters in the book, and in this case I really want to display the artwork, the second being that the letter doesn’t fit in the book, it’s too wide and high. So that’s a bit annoying for me, but I’ll survive.

Dear Friends,

Fantasy is my first love. When I was a kid, I devoured every story the genre had to offer. Movies like The Dark Crystal or books like The Hero and the Crown. By far my favourites involved magic and swords. Best of all if there was a girl with magic and a sword. I used to wish something magical would happen to me, that I would stumble through a portal into another world, I searched for them everywhere, in dark closets, under bridges, or between old trees in the woods by our house. But I never found one. That was until I discovered the magic of telling my own stories, like the one you just received. Stories have the power to transport us to another place and time, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to step into one of my own making. You’re soon to meet Corwin, a prince out of place, and Kate, a girl with a sword – and magic. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Musingly yours, Mindee

Of course as always we have a signed bookplate and we also have a sticker featuring one of the magic’s introduced in the novel. I would have liked to receive one of the other magics but I’m just happy to have this one since I can already tell this is going to be a new favourite! You can do this test to find out which magic you have! I’m a Magist.

Final Thoughts:

I loved this box! While I haven’t really read any of the books that the items in this box were designed around I still loved them and the quality and quantity of the items included are excellent! I, of course, love the book the most, and the art print and sticker, but my other favourite item is the coaster. I have a thing for coasters at the moment, which will come in handy when I have my own home, but until then my bedside table and desk are safe! I also love the book sleeve, time will tell if it’s as durable and protective as my other ones but I’m choosing to think positively. I’m very glad I ordered this box, I know that if I hadn’t I would see other unboxings and feel annoyed that I missed out.
