Wicklow and the Wolf Among the Wolves

(I think the second part of this AU is still in my tumblr tags here, but I'm not sure about this one, so here it is again. It's also a free post on my patreon.)

The bitey little boy in my upcoming book reminded me of this old thing--featuring Wicklow and Rhoades and the others, but like... the wolf version. The *beings* wolf version. Part one, anyway. There is a small part two I will post here someday as well.

tw: Wicklow's Odyssey sort of violence/wolf on wolf sort of violence, though offscreen somewhere. Beings werewolf tropes. Age difference.

Rhoades has called him ‘mate’ from the moment they met. “Mate” with shocked awe when his eyes found Wicklow in the dark of his prison cage, in the dark like humans weren’t supposed to do. Wicklow’s mother had lived just long enough to hint to him that there were others like them and to remind him to hide it, but he’d never met another until then.

“Mate.” In a smooth, rich man’s voice and then again, but lower, in something like a cat’s purr, although Wicklow did not think wolves made such a sound.

He didn’t trust rich men and he didn’t know wolves, wild or wealthy or purring, so he put his back to wall and lowered his head and snarled.

The other wolf only came closer, glowing eyes steady, not a hint of fangs to be seen. “Mate,” he’d said, a third time, and added another word, one to set Wicklow to growling and make him forget his mother’s every word about caution.

“Mine.”

The rich wolf doesn’t say that word again, but the other remains, as foreign as any of the Greek words he insists upon using and the two dollar words from his books as well. Wicklow doesn’t pay it much mind. There are other wolves that run behind Alexander Rhoades, wolves as confused as Wicklow. Wicklow has to dodge them, sniff them out, keep them away. He has devices to learn along with other ways of killing besides going for the throat.

Wicklow is curious, although he keeps his questions to himself. The woman carries a rifle but shifts into a nimble brown creature. She shows her fangs when Rhoades approaches, when he looks at Wicklow and uses that word, but she frowns and follows him all the same.

The younger wolf is rangy and big and loud until he isn’t. He moves quieter than anything Wicklow’s ever seen. He smells of secrets and gunpowder and walks apart from the others when they train, but he stills when Rhoades speaks.

The grey wolf, the one-armed, three-legged Colonel feeds them, nips to keep them in line. His eyes glow so much Wicklow thinks it’s only the fact that he, too, is a rich man that has kept the world from guessing what he is.

Rhoades is a wolf who never changes, never in front of them. He does not snarl. He has soft hands and wears silk. But he speaks and even Pilar cocks her head to listen.

He stares at Wicklow, and pauses, as if waiting, and calls him Private Doyle when he is a man, and mate when the small black wolf shows up at his door.

Rhoades wears fine leather shoes. Wicklow thinks they would be equally fine to sleep on.

Rhoades does not touch him, although after a few months he touches the others. On their shoulders, once, at the back of Anthony’s neck, when he’d returned wounded and whimpering. He buys Pilar clothes. Serves hunks of meat to Anthony. Leaves cigars out for the Colonel.

For Wicklow there are plates of food Wicklow will not touch, coats he shies away from, and books.

The books Wicklow borrows, although only within the library. He will not take them from Rhoades’ home.

Rhoades makes no comment on this, although he is more man than wolf, Wicklow thinks, and is overly fond of words. He says nothing, but when he looks at Wicklow, Wicklow wants to tilt his head back and howl.

He does that, howls, for the first time, on the date he chooses to be his nineteenth birthday, all alone in the acres of woods outside Rhoades’ family home in Philadelphia. He howls and jumps in surprise at the chorus of responses, and the sudden flurry of motion as Anthony and Pilar rush past him into the trees. They yip for him to follow, so he does, and they all return in the morning, muddied, cold, wet, to a hot breakfast and a gaze from Rhoades so fondly amused that Wicklow can hardly meet it.

He doesn’t ask why Rhoades didn’t join them.

“Mate,” Rhoades tells him, before Wicklow leaves for another mission. They are all leaving, for weeks this time, but it is Wicklow alone in Rhoades’ library. “Be careful.”

Wicklow is always careful, but Rhoades stares him down and smells of cologne and leather and worry over the skin-scent, warm-scent, home-scent of him, so Wicklow nods. Rhoades smells good, very good, clean and whole. Rhoades smells like the others, but also himself. If he dares to come closer, Wicklow can find the salt of his sweat, the metallic hint of his blood, and the powerful center of him beneath even that. He thinks it’s like honey, or velvet, or gold, although gold itself does not smell like Rhoades at all.

If the others are pack-scent, “Pack,” Pilar tells him, “You are my pack brother. Little Brother Wolf. Little Fierce Eyes.’ then Rhoades’ scent is something else. Leader-scent. “Boss,” Anthony says, “Don Alessandro.” “Alexander,” the Colonel grumbles, but with his head angled down. “Fool,” Pilar will add, but then shake her head and admit the rest in a softer voice, “The wolf among the wolves.”

Rhoades’ scent is strong. It creeps through the streets of Washington and finds Wicklow in his lab and when he is alone in his room. It lingers in Wicklow’s clothes and makes him bite at his pillows when he cannot sleep. Wicklow flushes when he enters the library–the place where the scent is everywhere, and gets on his lips so that when he licks them he seem to taste Rhoades.

He doesn’t understand why the others don’t react to it. Even Anthony will preen for a bit of praise from Rhoades, even the Colonel will flash his eyes when Rhoades speaks, but Wicklow’s heart pounds before he even sees Rhoades and he knows Rhoades can hear it.

But he does nothing, only continues to offer meals and clothing and a world of knowledge. He comes downstairs to see Wicklow while reeking of men and seed, and the humans he has just fucked slink out the door with bruises on their skin. He says those things, “Mate. Be careful” before sending Wicklow out to spy and lie and kill.

Wicklow wants to bite him.

Rhoades is rich and soft, but Wicklow thinks if he tried to sink his teeth in Rhoades’ throat, he would be the one to end up hurt.

In Chattanooga, they find a Reb wolf, or she finds them. Wicklow finally guts her, but it takes him too long to heal. Her fangs sank in deep, and when he returns, more worn than he’s ever been, Rhoades snarls before Wicklow can manage one word of his report, and in the next moment has Wicklow against the wall and his face to his shoulder.

The wound isn’t serious. Wicklow tells him that, shuddering when he ought to push Rhoades way. He ignores how slow he was to heal, how Pilar had been desperate enough to use their radios to try to reach Rhoades, as if the sound of Rhoades’ voice alone would have been enough to make Wicklow to heal faster.

There is a scar in the shape of the Reb wolf's teeth. Wicklow has many scars. This one turns Rhoades’ eyes to gold, and Wicklow is too momentarily taken aback to see a glimpse of this wolf again to notice the hot breath on his neck, the teeth so near his throat.

“Mate,” Rhoades says quietly, distressed or angry, Wicklow can’t tell. The scent of him is everywhere. Wicklow licks his lips and inhales and wonders where the others went, and if they know why he cannot move until Rhoades’ stops shaking.

He stays in the library, that night, and most nights after when he isn’t working.

He eats the food and accepts one coat.

He takes the books to his single room, and burns when the scent of Rhoades fills the small space.

“Private Doyle,” Rhoades says over the radio, before fading into crackling silence. It’s the last Wicklow hears from him for three weeks. It’s been a month altogether he’s been away from pack leader, from Rhoades, from good-scent, home-scent, library and hot blood and Rhoades. Wicklow hasn’t been sleeping. It took all his energy to get to Rhoades’ door without shifting.

Rhoades stands in front of him with glowing eyes and smells of another man, and Wicklow is dripping with rainwater and shakes his head like a dog in the street.

Wicklow is on two legs, but he feels animal, uncertain. He doesn’t know why Rhoades would call him by his human name when Wicklow can only swallow his whimpers of confusion.

Rhoades smells of another man, human, weak, not-Wicklow, and he knows Wicklow knows this. Wicklow thinks Rhoades wants him to know, and for a moment, Wicklow bares his teeth.

The surprise and hope that weave their way into Rhoades’ scent throw Wicklow enough that he backs down and lowers his head, but his glare remains, even as his heart is racing.

Rhoades should rip his throat out, hurt him, as the Colonel has suggested some older packs used to do to upstarts who challenged the pack leaders. But he thinks of Rhoades’ mouth at his throat and trembles. It is not with fear.

Rhoades will know that too, as the others must know. If it bothers him, there is no sign. His voice gentles as he asks for Wicklow’s report, and he puts one hand, one careful hand, to Wicklow’s shoulder as he urges him to sit down and rest, rest at last, mate, put these lonely weeks behind you and rest here, where you belong, and I will keep you safe.

The words are strange, moreso because Wicklow is not sure they are said out loud. He reads them in the tilt of Rhoades’ head, the warm curl of his scent, the shine in his eyes.

If Wicklow turned, even a fraction, that hand would curve over the back of his neck. Strange then, that he finds he can rest despite that.

He thinks it might even be because of it.

April 24, 1982

It was 39 years ago when Ozzy Osbourne had resumed his Diary of a Madman tour shortly after Randy Rhoads has passed away. A concert scheduled for late March in Landover would be rescheduled for exactly one month later with the great Brad Gillis on guitar. Anthony Urso was in attendance that night and took these really cool photos which had never seen the light of day until today. Much thanks to Anthony for allowing me to share them with everybody here. Enjoy!!

Here are some rare photos of Ozzy on his Diary Of A Madman tour. These were taken 42 years ago today and shared exclusively on my page!

Go on YouTube and watch the girl Channeling Randy Rhoads if you can’t find it lmk she has a weird first name . She Channels a bunch of people . Interesting

im spiritual, yes, i practice witchcraft myself but frankly i dont support people attempting to channel dead celebrities or murder victims, ESPECIALLY online publicly. i saw somebody channeling caylee anthony, a toddler murdered by her mother, a while back and i do not support that and never will. let them rest. i know his death day is coming up in march but we should be appreciating him through all he gave us in the 25 years he was here. hes been gone for 41, almost 42 years. please let him rest

i want people to think about his surviving family and friends, his sister kathy, his brother kelle, rudy, ozzy, sharon, his nieces and nephews, and so many more. i think i can say confidently they dont want this. please just let him rest, we can appreciate him in so many other ways, especially through our own art

i would rather hear from him in interviews and home videos and hear directly about him from his surviving family and friends. kathy posts about him a lot with photos we havent seen and allows us more insight into his life and THATS how people should learn about him. please, please just let him rest

Terra – The Sustainability Pavilion at EXPO 2020 Dubai

Terra – The Sustainability Pavilion, opened to the public in 2021 as one of the top three attractions of the Dubai Expo 2020, and aims to illuminate the ingenuity and possibility of architecture as society looks to intelligent strategies for future sustainable living.

Drawing inspiration from complex natural processes like photosynthesis, the dynamic form of the Pavilion is in service to its function, capturing energy from sunlight and fresh water from humid air. The relationship of building to site, and to its physical and cultural contexts is critical, as the facility’s strength lies in its capacity to demonstrate a new way of living sustainably in a challenging desert environment.

Sited in a prominent location, the Pavilion structure works in tandem with the considered landscape of demonstration gardens, winding pathways and shaded enclaves to create an aura of magic punctuated by the sights, smells and tactile opportunities of nature. The gardens are both experiential and functional, setting the stage for the exhibition contents within and creating shaded gathering areas that will manage and distribute crowds while providing retail, food and beverage opportunities.

When creating a building with a goal of generating its own energy and water in a harsh climate, the solution cannot be driven by a single aspect of the design. To achieve net-zero, the design required a series of technologies, building systems and design solutions to act in unison. This self-contained, micro-ecosystem resulted from a combination of strategies: optimizing the natural conditions inherent in its location; working with and within them to maximize efficiency; and supplementing them with pioneering sustainable technologies to create innovative solutions

The design is driven by maximizing efficiency which it does by seeking shade in the one place available: below the ground. The Pavilion uses the insulating properties of the earth to shield it from the harsh ambient temperatures which can soar to 50 degrees in the warmer months.

Most of the accommodation is below grade and cased with an earth roof system, creating a substantial barrier to help reduce its cooling loads and conserve energy. The above ground surfaces are clad with a gabion rainscreen wall – sourced with local stone from the Hajar Mountains – which provides enough thermal mass to absorb the heat while the stone’s natural color reflects the sun.

Flora and fauna sourced from the surrounding deserts – including some species that have been never been cultivated by humans – are arranged on the planted roofs and throughout the gardens, creating a water efficient landscape that functions through a series of closed loop systems designed to filter, supply and recycle water. The framing of these local topographical and floral features, combined with the technologies of water recycling and reuse, provide visitors a newfound appreciation of the unique region and its biodiversity. The site also includes areas for productive agricultural landscape featuring halophytic agriculture and other testing beds.

The culmination of the building’s systems can be found in the heart of the Pavilion, its large exterior courtyard. Borrowing from the vernacular of the region, the courtyard provides a large, passively cooled space for visitors. During the design, thermodynamic studies charting the prevailing breezes were used to shape the courtyard to allow desirable cool south-westerly breezes to enter while blocking warmer winds.

Soaring over the courtyard, the Pavilion’s canopy accommodates more than 6,000 sqm of ultra-efficient monocrystalline photovoltaic cells embedded in glass panels. The combination of the cell and the glass casing allow the building to harness solar energy while providing shade and daylighting to the visitors below. The experience in the courtyard is of being beneath a large shade tree with dappled light projecting onto the surfaces below. The form of the canopy works with the courtyard to direct cool air in, while simultaneously exhausting low-lying hot air through a chimney effect at the centre.

The canopy also serves as a large collection area for stormwater and dew that replenishes the building’s water system. The result is a structure that combines the most advanced technology in solar capture and a clear understanding of the natural conditions of the site to actively generate energy while passively cooling and enhancing the experience of the visitor. With over 6,000 sqm of exhibition space, the Sustainability Pavilion will enjoy a long life after Expo is over, transforming into a science museum and expanding on its mission of exploring sustainable practices and the critical stewardship of our fragile planet.

ENERGY E TREES The Sustainability Pavilion is complemented by an installation of Energy Trees which contribute toward its goal of producing its own energy. Nineteen E-trees ranging from 15-18m in diameter are dispersed throughout the site and provide 28% of the energy required to power the building. Inspired by the Dragon’s Blood, a tree found only on Socotra, an island 200 miles off the coast of Yemen, the E-Tree is designed to be a deployable freestanding shade structure that harvests the sun’s energy. The structure is constructed from steel and complex composites and has been optimized to support an 18m photovoltaic array.

Taking further cues from nature, the array follows the sun in the same manner as a sunflower, rotating 180 degrees throughout the course of the day to maximize the energy yield and increase the efficiency of the solar cells, before returning to its original position at night. Bespoke trapezoidal panels composed of highly efficient monocrystalline solar cells, embedded within three layers of glass, provide shade below without casting severe shadows or blocking views to the sky.

Supporting the array is an engineered carbon fibre structure inspired by the design of the steering wheel of a yacht. The structural design maximizes strength in its shape, with radial branches encircled by a compression ring while decreasing the load of the structure itself. Carbon fibre was chosen for its light weight which allows the form to extend unsupported for up to nine meters in all directions.

The E-Trees have become an integral part of both the exhibition and the Pavilion site – showcasing and educating visitors on the research on solar harnessing and panel technology – while at the same time, serving as an integral part of the systems that contributes to a net zero energy goal of the building.
