Rating: 4/5

Book Blurb:

He’s a hot, grumpy, reclusive vampire, and the last thing he wants is an interfering human tidying his castle…until her.

Lord Alaric Valerian has a problem. His mother is visiting his castle for the first time, but she doesn’t know that Alaric has filled every room with his centuries of artistic passions and creative pursuits.

Desperate, he hires professional organiser Winnie Preston to help him tame the mess. But Alaric isn’t prepared for bubbly, passionate Winnie to show up at his castle and ram a metaphorical stake through his cold, vampire heart. Winnie sets his fangs on edge, but the more closely he works with her, the more he wishes she could be his.

So when Alaric’s mother arrives with a new bride-to-be in tow, Alaric convinces Winnie to pretend to be his fiancee. He may be causing all kinds of scandal in the vampire court by being engaged to a human, but at least he doesn’t have to give up his reclusive life.

But Winnie still doesn’t know Alaric’s a vampire, and Alaric didn’t count on Winnie’s meddling book club pinning him for a mysterious murder in the village. Will their maybe-not-so-fake-marriage survive once Winnie discovers the monster that lurks beneath his fangs?

Fangs for Nothing is a kooky, spooky, vampire romance full to the cauldron-brim with fake dating, a meddling smutty book club, murder and mystery aplenty, endless cups of tea, quirky characters, and a broody vampire with an ass so fine, Geralt of Rivia comes to him for fitness tips.

Review:

A paranormal romcom featuring a grumpy reclusive vampire and the kooky professional human organizer he hires. Lord Alaric Valerian needs help cleaning up his castle since his mother is visiting for the first time ever... and he's had centuries to clutter up his home. Then he meets Winnie Preston, professional organizer and delicious smelling human. Winnie has had a streak of bad luck, from her fiancee cheating on her with her childhood best friend and a traumatic childhood from her mother's hoarding, Winnie just wants to get the job done... so when a hot guy hires her she is determined to clean up his castle. Yet things take a turn when fake dating gets involved, the fact that Winnie is falling for a vampire, oh and did I mention there's a killer on the loose? This was a cute read, albeit fairly long, but it was cute nonetheless, the smut and romance was nice, and I enjoyed reading the relationship between Winnie and Alaric. This is the first book in a series and definitely is one I'll be continuing to read. The characters are all really fun and the romance was sweet. I definitely enjoyed reading this and can see this series being one I'd recommend!

Let's do a Win Metawin thought experiment! Poor Win's ship is broken because Bright went and let his contract lapse so that he can become the next Jeff Satur (not being mean just being real). So let's pretend GMMTV wants to put Win in another BL in 2024, something that is absolutely not going to happen, but again, we're pretending. IF it did, who would be the best choice to pair him with on the current GMMTV roster?

Here are some ideas that didn't make me immediately fake gag:

Est Supha. Managed by GMMTV! Very cute. Very rookie tho, and can he even act? Who can say.

Inn Sarin. More acting chops than Est, extremely cute.

Force Jiratchapong. I'm not like, EXCITED about breaking ForceBook up, but something about Win and Force kissing feels right.

Louis Thanawin. What if Win was broody and colder and Louis was sunshine? Is this a grumpy/sunshine that would work?

Pepper Phanuroj. I dunno, I don't hate it. Pepper's cute. Maybe they could do like a wealthydude4wealthydude kind of a thing.

Fluke Pusit. Look, they have to do SOMETHING with Flukey, so they may as well do this.

I considered Tay and New, as well as Winny, Luke (who doesn't do BL, I don't think), Pond, and Thor. None of those feel quite right to me, though Luke is....interesting to ponder. I've never watched him act, so I can't say if he can or not. I've also not watched Win since Still 2gether, since I don't watch the het shows, though lo how I have tried. But what I mean is, has he gotten better? Can't say, but my instinct is to put him with someone who can act up a storm, hence the latter 4 names on the list.

God I can't wait for GMMTV2024. I need to know. I NEED to KNOW.

Chicken Anniversary, Bullies and Chicks

Our Double Dots, turned 5 years old on April 11th.

On April 11, 2015, I became a first time chicken momma to seventeen little yellow rooster chicks, and their three little brown&yellow sisters. It’s been five years since then, and a lot has happened. I’ve seen chickens come and go, added a lot of different breeds, and watched mother hens hatch out lots of babies.

We still have one of the…

"Winnie, come on, baby…" Y/N sighed as the baby she was watching wailed at the top of her lungs. She picked the baby up from the crib and she quieted instantly, small sniffles still escaping her. But when Y/N tried putting Winnie down again, she cried. Y/N thought for a minute before taking the child to her room.

She put her in some better clothes and got her ready for an outing. Winnie stopped crying when she realized what was going on, excitedly clapping and giggling. Y/N smiled to herself and put Winnie in her pram, stepping out of the lavish mansion. She figured Winnie was simply bored at home, so she decided to take her to the nearby garden.

Winnie was the 18 month old daughter of the biggest name in town, CEO James Buchanan Barnes. Bucky, as he went by, owned a very renowned company and was adored by many. He was a single dad, unfortunately, and with his busy schedule he had no time to look after his daughter. So he had hired a 24/7 nanny— Y/N. It had been a year since she started working for the man.

He was nice. Very handsome; he looked the broody type but was quite sweet, funny and charming. She liked working for him, and she loved his daughter, Winnie, too. He'd named her after his own mother.

As Y/N and Winnie reached the park, the baby girl started squealing with joy and laughing, which made Y/N's heart soar. Y/N really loved working with kids. "Do you like it here?" she crooned, picking the baby up. Winnie giggled and babbled. "Look, so many pretty flowers!" Y/N kept Winnie back in the pram.

They walked down the jogging trail as Y/N pointed all the pretty flowers to Winnie, who seemed excited to see all the colours and greenery. A while later, they found an empty bench and Y/N sat down, taking a sip from the water bottle she had brought along. But all of a sudden, someone sat next to her. She glanced next to her and saw a man wiping sweat off his forehead.

The man, sensing her stare, glanced at her with a small smile. Y/N smiled back. "Blake," he blurted out, "My name is Blake." Y/N laughed. "Y/N," she replied amusedly and he grinned. "Your baby is quite adorable, what's her name?" He waved at Winnie. Y/N smiled at the baby, holding her hand out.

Winnie grabbed her fingers with her tiny ones, trying to bring Y/N's hand to her mouth. "She's not my baby, I'm just a babysitter," Y/N giggled. "She was being very fussy at home so I decided to bring her here. I love this park."

"So do I. The greenery really puts you in a good mood, doesn't it?"

"Don't I agree."

He got up all of a sudden, taking out his phone. "By any chance…?" he questioned hopefully and Y/N smiled at him. He seemed like a good man, so she gave him her number. "I'll be sure to call you," he nodded, waved at her and Winnie and left. Y/N turned to face Winnie, who clapped her hands and giggled.

"Thanks for getting me a date," Y/N snorted, getting up. She decided to take Winnie home, since they'd been out for a long time. Only, upon reaching home, Y/N got a surprise.

As she opened the main door, Bucky looked up from where he was seated on the couch. "Oh, thank God!" he groaned, running over to them. He picked baby Winnie up, giving her a kiss on the cheek. Y/N realised her mistake; she should've at least left a note. Though it wasn't her fault, she didn't know Bucky was going to be home so early.

"You're home early," she smiled, keeping the pram away, "Sorry, didn't leave a message." Bucky waved in dismissal. "It's fine, I'm just glad you're both safe. Where did you take her?"

"The garden nearby, she was being very fussy at home so I thought a change of scenery might improve her mood. Which it apparently did." Bucky laughed at the last sentence. "It sure did. What did you see at the park, sweetheart?" he cooed at the baby, sitting down with her on his lap. Y/N went around the room, tidying up when her phone rang.

She picked up the call, smiling when she recognized the voice on the other side. "Blake, hi, how are you? Yes, this is Y/N, I didn't give you a fake number." Bucky silently watched as she chatted with Blake, his paranoia getting the best of him. Who was this guy? Y/N's boyfriend?

As far as he remembered, Y/N did not have a boyfriend. So who was Blake? A date, perhaps? That made Bucky incredibly upset. Bucky… Bucky liked Y/N. Yes, she was just the babysitter of his child but he couldn't help it, he fell for her. She was around his age and plus, Winnie liked her a lot. Y/N was a brilliant woman, who wouldn't fall for her?

It had been a few months since he realized his feelings about her, but he didn't have the guts to tell her. What if she said no? What if she left the job, never came back? "Who was that?" Bucky nonchalantly asked when Y/N ended the call. "Oh, just this guy I met at the park. He thought Winnie was my kid, how crazy is that?" Y/N laughed, in high spirits.

Bucky frowned. A guy she met at the park? So he was a potential date. I have to tell her now. He cleared his throat and looked down at Winnie, whose eyes were droopy as she fought sleep. "Oh, I think she's sleepy, it's her nap time," Bucky chuckled, passing Winnie over to Y/N. As Y/N walked towards Winnie's room, Bucky stopped her.

"Listen, I, uh— can we talk after you put her to bed?"

Y/N nodded. "As you'd like, sir." Then she went away. But while putting Winnie to bed, Y/N's thoughts raced. What did Bucky want to say to her? Was he disappointed that she'd taken Winnie out without prior permission? What if he fired her?

When she was sure Winnie was fast asleep, Y/N left her room and went to Bucky’s office, knocking once before going in. There, she saw him sitting on the couch, a bottle of wine and two glasses in front of him on the teapoy. “Am I in trouble?” she joked, shuffling her feet. “What— oh, no no, not at all! Come sit.”

She sat in front of him, watching as he filled both glasses with wine and handed one to her. The silence stretched on between them as they both stared at each other. “So,” Y/N cleared her throat, “What happened?” Bucky sighed, looking down at his lap for a moment before looking up at her again. “This is… very frivolous—” She cocked her head to the side, confused.

“You can tell me, I won’t judge.” Bucky bit his lip before asking, “So, um, let’s begin with the phone call. What was his name, Blake?” Y/N was super confused but she nodded along. “Well, uh, I’m assuming he asked you out on a date…?” Her eyes narrowed. “Yes,” she replied slowly, “He did.” Bucky awkwardly cleared his throat, pulling at his tie. Why was this so difficult for him to admit?

“I just— oh my God. Look, before you start making plans with him I just wanted to tell you that I like you. A lot. I have liked you for a few months and yes— I’m very much aware I’m sounding like a teenager right now but it is your right to know. I can’t keep it from you. Now I understand if you don’t feel the same-”

Y/N had stopped listening the moment he told her he liked her. Is he being serious right now? The reason why it surprised her so much was the fact that yes, she had a crush on him too. Who wouldn’t? He was handsome, he was successful, he was charming and was… just awesome in general.

But, thinking that he’d never go for her, she had contained her feelings only to get the biggest shock of her life right now. “Y/N? Darling, say something, you’re scaring me.” She snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Bucky. His face was screaming nervousness.

“I— I never thought you’d see me in that light too.”

“Too? What do you mean, too?” Flustered, Y/N looked down at her lap. “I like you too,” she confessed, “I’ve had a crush on you for like, forever. I just never expected you to feel the same.” Bucky’s jaw dropped. “You mean I could’ve asked you out months ago and you’d have said yes?” She laughed at his behaviour, a smile blooming on her face.

“Yeah, basically.” Bucky laughed along too, running both his hands through his hair. “Man, I’m the world’s biggest idiot.” All of a sudden, he grabbed the back of her head and smushed their lips together. Y/N, without hesitation, kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck. A few minutes later, they pulled away.

Y/N gave him a broad grin, only to be taken by surprise yet again as Bucky’s lips travelled lower, kissing along her jaw and neck. “I’ve wanted you for so long, can’t wait any longer.” A soft mewl left Y/N’s lips as he kissed a particularly sensitive spot; that made him smirk against her skin. “Bucky,” she sighed blissfully.

“Yes, doll, I’m right here,” he chuckled, pulling away for a moment only to take off her t-shirt. He stared at her body in awe, smiling when Y/N’s hands eagerly reached for his shirt. He first loosened his tie and then took off his shirt, attacking her lips with his own as his hands grabbed both her wrists. Then, he made quick work of his tie and her wrists.

“Oh, God,” Y/N gasped when he abruptly tore her bra straight down the middle, exposing her to him fully. The two halves off her bra slid down her arms until they bunched at her tied wrists. “You are so divine,” Bucky sighed, leaving a trail of kisses down the valley of her breasts. His lips then touched a nipple, and Y/N’s breath caught in her throat.

He licked and sucked on it, his hand fondling with her other breast. Y/N wiggled desperately in his arms, rocking her hips forward. Bucky, noticing the movement, laughed. “Desperate, aren’t you, baby?” he asked in a low, baritone voice, his hand leaving her breast to rest on her thigh. “You’re the one who started it!” she fired back.

Bucky raised an eyebrow. “Keep talking like that and I’ll find some good use for that mouth of yours.” Y/N pouted at him, because he wasn’t touching her where she wanted him most. Her panties were completely drenched, to the point where it was starting to get uncomfortable sitting in them.

“I see how it is,” Bucky smirked seeing her expression, “On your knees, baby.” He kicked the teapoy away, making room for her. Y/N’s jaw dropped. “Didn’t you hear me, sweetie?” Bucky mocked, grabbing her jaw, “On your knees before I force you.” Her heartbeat quickened at his tone. “Yes, sir.”

“Sir? I like that,” Bucky hummed as she got on her knees between his spread legs, “If I hear the word Bucky one more time you’re getting punished, you hear me?” She nodded demurely. “Good girl.” Then his hands went to his pants, taking his sweet time. When he was finally exposed to her, Y/N swore she almost drooled.

It was… quite impressive. Heck, it was the biggest one she’d ever seen. “Are you just going to stare at it, doll? It’s all yours, you know.” Taking in a deep breath, Y/N leaned forward and gave the head a tentative lick; Bucky’s breath caught in his throat as his hand flew to the back of her head, pulling her close. “Don’t tease me.”

“Yes, sir,” she whispered and opened her mouth, taking in what she could. Her tongue swirled around his cock, making him lose his mind. “Fuck,” he cursed as she started bobbing her head up and down. His other hand reached for her head as well, pulling her in further. Y/N gagged when the tip of his cock touched the back of her throat; she pulled away, coughing with drool running down her chin.

Bucky smirked at the sight in front of him. Her hands tied, her hair a mess, tears in the corner of her eyes, drool on her chin— she looked utterly ruined but they hadn’t even gotten to the best part yet. “Look at you,” he crooned, “So fucking gorgeous. Come up here, sweetheart.” She stood up on shaky legs, plopping down next to him.

He made quick work of her jeans, chuckling when he got a look at her panties. “Like a waterfall in there,” he commented, “And I didn’t even touch you. Something tells me you’ve dreamed about this.” Y/N’s cheeks heated up and she looked away, crossing her legs. But Bucky grabbed her thighs and pushed them apart, shaking his head. “Don’t worry,” he assured her, “I’ve dreamed of it too.”

“Bucky,” Y/N whined when his large hands rubbed her thighs. He raised an eyebrow at her. “What did I tell you, my cupcake?” he drawled and Y/N blinked hazily at him, her mind melting to mush. “Sir,” she whispered and Bucky smiled. “Good girl. I’ll let it slide. Now, let me take care of you, you poor, needy thing.”

With that he knelt in front of her, his hands travelling higher until they rested just below her dripping core, his thumbs separating the lips. “Look at you, I was right about the waterfall statement,” he chuckled. Y/N’s eyes rolled to the back of her head when two of his fingers travelled up and down her lips, spreading the wetness around.

Her eyes snapped open when she felt his mouth on her clit, biting and sucking. “F-Fuck,” she stammered, wiggling desperately, trying to get the tie to loosen. Bucky grabbed her hips, stilling her actions. “Let me enjoy my meal,” he growled, “I’ve starved myself for way too long.” Then he dived in like there was no tomorrow.

Y/N's hips snapped up, rocking against his face desperate for release. When she felt his fingers entering her core, Y/N let out a loud moan. “S-Sir, I’m so close,” she whimpered and Bucky smirked. “Go right ahead, cupcake. Won’t be the only time you cum.” His words gave her a boost and she came all over his fingers, convulsing.

Her body sagged against the backrest of the couch. Bucky pulled his fingers out of her and licked them, relishing in the taste. “Sweet just like a cupcake,” he told her, standing up before adjusting her on the couch. He got on top of her, not wasting a moment before sliding home. Both of them groaned loudly at the feeling.

Y/N had never felt so full before, so complete and— and safe. She knew Bucky would be extra careful with her. Bucky, meanwhile, simply stared at the bulge that formed on Y/N’s abdomen, blinking in awe. “Are you seeing this, my love?” he whispered, resting his hand on the bulge, “Look at you, stuffed full of my cock.”

His lewd words made Y/N whimper and she turned towards the backrest. Bucky gently turned her face, pressing soft kisses to her eyelids, her nose and finally her lips. “When I’m done with you, you won’t be seeing stars— you’ll be seeing galaxies.” And she gasped when he started rocking his hips back and forth.

He sped up in seconds, surprising Y/N with his stamina. She’d never felt this good with anyone. “Ungh, sir, please,” she pleaded pathetically, starting to wiggle again. “Please what, sweetheart? You’re doing so well.” He pushed aside the locks of sweaty hair clinging to her forehead.

“C-C-Can’t.” Bucky gently kissed her forehead. “Most definitely can. I’m almost there.” Her eyes went out of focus as she blinked hazily again. Bucky was right; he was making her see galaxies. Small whimpers escaped past her lips here and there as her body completely gave up, moving like a rag doll against Bucky’s powerful thrusts.

“Tired already?” he teased, cupping her face, “Here I was, thinking I can go up to round 4 with you.” Y/N mumbled unintelligibly, her eyes closed. Soon, Bucky reached his breaking point; the way her walls clenched around his cock made a knot form in his belly, which only tightened until it couldn’t anymore.

“Mmh, I’m so close,” he groaned, pressing his lips to Y/N’s neck. She whimpered again, her hips bucking up. That’s when Bucky lost it; he swiftly pulled out of her just as the knot broke and spilled his release on her stomach and chest in thick ropes of white. “Ah, fuck,” he snarled when Y/N came too, convulsing and writhing in his arms.

For a moment Bucky simply sat there, admiring the sight in front of him. Y/N was well and truly spent, her eyes closed as she relaxed back on the couch. When she didn’t open her eyes, Bucky noticed how steady her heartbeat had gotten and chuckled quietly. He’d fucked her asleep.

Gently untying her hands, he cleaned her up with her t-shirt, put on his boxers and carried her to his room. He lay her down on the bed and turned the air conditioner on, cleaning himself before also getting into bed with her.

When she felt someone snuggling into her side, Y/N partially woke up and sighed in bliss, shifting closer to Bucky before promptly falling asleep again. Bucky chuckled at that, pressing a soft kiss to her head. “Sweet dreams, my angel.”

Book Notes: The Luminaries

There seems to be a trend these days of covers featuring skulls of various kinds paired with flowers. I’m not sure if the flowers are meant to soften the starkness of the skull, but generally the creepy skull itself is enough to warn me off. That is unless said cover also contains a blurb from Leigh Bardugo. And is compared to Cassandra Clare. Then I’ll give it a second look.

The Luminaries by Susan Dennard is a contemporary YA fantasy, set in the town of Hemlock Falls, a town adjacent to a forest containing a slumbering spirit so powerful that as the sun goes down each day, the murderous nightmares of the spirit come to life. The Luminaries are a secret order of hunters bound to slay the nightmares and keep the world safe. But four years ago, when her father’s betrayal of the Luminaries was discovered, Winnie Wednesday and her family were cast out from their clan and forced to live on the outskirts of their former lives. Now 16-year-old Winnie wants nothing more than to restore their standing in the Luminary world by proving herself worthy to be a Wednesday hunter. The forest contains secrets that even the experienced Luminary hunters are baffled by, and Winnie has to call on the friend that deserted her when she became an outcast if she has any hope of surviving her hunter trial and discovering what new horror haunts the woods.

I’m always a fan of interesting world building and secret societies that exist to save the world. Likewise, I find it hard to resist the plucky outsider determined to beat the odds. Or broody mysterious boys with the requisite grey eyes who have more going on than it first appears. Dennard conjures up an atmospheric blend of a town saturated with misty rain and unspoken dangers. She also speaks to the costs of blind loyalty, to a family, to a clan, to a cause. Winnie’s desperation to return to the days when her place in the Luminary world was unquestioned is tempered by the abrupt shift from mocked outcast to prodigal daughter. As her hunter trials proceed, she begins to wonder who and what she can trust, and whether the cause she is so loyal to is, in turn, loyal to her. The Luminaries is heavy on the corpses and nightmarish creatures stalking the forest so those of you looking for a moody read to match the rain and gloomier days will be well satisfied. Perfect for fans of Holly Black and Cassandra Clare!

Fateful Meeting

(Severus Snape x Winifred Plotsky / A bit of Lily Evans x Winifred Plotsky)

Winifred "Winnie" Plotsky was the newest Hufflepuff student to have joined Hogwarts and her little heart was already slamming in her chest every time she stepped out of her dorm room. Being a muggleborn, since both of her parents were non-magicals born from previously disowned squib lines, had put her in an unfortunate position. Especially as her parents were very much aware of their families as her great, great grandparents were determined to strengthen the magic in their lines so, Winnie knew many of her pureblood cousins. And in the wake of the war that's been going it's not hard to guess the treatment that she would find for not only not joining either Slytherin or Ravenclaw, but also for her blood status. It was what her family had warned her about adamantly yet there was nothing she could do as the Hat had told her "You may be fairly suited for it but I assure you that this House is better for everyone. You'll understand one day"--whatever that meant. All of this info put together then Winnie, while rushing to her first class not even a week into her time at school, isn't surprised to have been tripped. What was surprising was that she found herself falling into two figures before faceplanting, all of the supplies in her arms flying away from her.

"Oh my goodness! Are you okay?"

Winnie's head shot up at the voice and she regrets looking up because her face felt like molten lava, probably glowed just as bright. However, her embarrassment is forgotten by the shock of red hair and the seemingly emerald green eyes that stared down at her in concern.

"Oh wow...," Winnie finds herself whispering in wonder. Someone being a walking beacon of light was something that she didn't expect to see here. No matter how amazing magic was, Winnie had little belief that there were angels, but now she was feeling very different. The first year fumbles as she continues, "Uh... Yes, I'm alright. I--"

A shocked yelp escape her when a hand suddenly hooks under her arm and she was swept back up onto her feet. Winnie's eyes, once a cinnamon brown now a dark green, flick to the now looming figure who helped her up. The previous heat seemed to of doubled as she looked at this new figure. A slim boy in all black beyond the Slytherin green adornments that each uniform gets when sorted into said house.

"Don't lay on the floor in the middle of the hallway. It's too early in the day to be causing a scene," this new figure sneered.

He's the complete opposite of the girl he was walking alongside. His long face is framed by inky black hair in small waves to barely rest on his shoulders. Winnie finds herself drawn to his eyes, just as dark as his hair, before traveling down to his protruding hooked nose that was crooked at the bridge. She briefly wondered if it was from a past injury that hadn't healed right like her ring finger on her right hand, but is then distracted by his lips. They are thin and pulled into an annoyed frown, however, the right corner was discolored like he'd just chewed on it earlier. Was it a tick he'd developed like when she started picking at her arms or was this just a one time event? Winnie put that info away later since the beautiful girl from earlier speaks up once more.

"Severus, be careful! Look how small she is," the copper haired girl in Gryffindor reds reprimands him. "She's the smallest first year I've ever seen. You'll break something on accident if you aren't careful."

Tall-broody-and-mysterious, now revealed to Winnie to be Severus, scoffs as if the idea is ridiculous but as he locked eyes with Winnie there seems to be a moment of consideration. Having so much attention on her sends her eyes to the floor and her hands into gripping the ends of her robes. The overpriced fabric a reminder that she was a walking disappointment from her status to her interactions.

"Here you go. And you're sure you're alright...," the redhead prompts Winnie.

The now brown eyed girl quickly takes the que and answers, "I'm, uh, Winifred. Winifred Plotsky, but you can call me Winnie if you like. I-It's nice to meet you."

"Lily Evans and this is my best friend, Severus Snape. It's indeed a pleasure to meet you, right Sev?"

"Hmm, quite," Severus grumbles. "Would you kindly take your things now, Miss Plotsky."

Winnie turns back to find that all of her previously thrown about supplies are in a neat bundle held out to her. She blinks for a moment at this nice gesture and wordlessly takes her stuff back. This leads to Severus clearing his throat in a purposeful manner, like he was trying to stamp down a comment or to cover up another sound of distaste. It's something that sparks a strange feeling in her little heart. She was used to being pushed aside and ignored or even possibly being punished for drawing attention to herself. To have someone take the time to help her out and touch her without causing pain was... new. Amazing even.

"Th-Thank you!"

"We are going to find ourselves late to class if we don't hurry along, Lily. We'll be seeing you, Plotsky," Severus says with a half-hearted nod.

"Oh alright, stay safe, Winnie. See you around, okay," Lily pipes up quickly before following Severus along to whatever class they have.

Despite Severus' warning about classes starting Winnie stands unmoving in the hallway just watching them disappear in the distance. She can't even bring herself to blink as she watches them go because those are the only people that have treated her so well since school started. Once again, being related to so many blood supremacists and heavy traditionalists puts many people off from trying to make friends with you. That doesn't damper the now bright elation that's now filled her heart. Friends. New friends! Lily and Severus!

"Yeah... see you around."

Winnie giggles and further down the hall a small shiver runs up Severus' back. He's not sure why but he feels like there's something terrible on the horizon.

Wynne’s Birthday Diary - Lunie Laurenze

"I really hope they make it here on time. But the chances seem to be so thin of them even arriving considering our relationship is...... convoluted" I sighed, placing the cookies inside. I was really regretting why did I even plan this for her. And why am I stressing out so much because of it. All of this was fucking frustrating and tiring to me.

"Chillax, Winnie. Lunie will definitely come. Her sister promised me that" The brown haired man propped his legs on the table in front of him and relaxingly leaned behind the couch.

I sighed, turning to the laid-back person with crossed arms. "Lunie can force her mind onto Ink very easily. Sad thing is that even after you literally bribed Ink with shiny sparkling feathers to bring her sister here, who knows if she would succeed" I coolly replied.

"You.....You saw that?!!" Nathan (@utopia-t) stiffened, and there was a pink tint on his umber cheeks.

"Yes I did. Very disgusting of you to greed a child like that" I teased him, a smirk on my lips. Nathan turned even more pink by my mockery, but then he scrunched his nose and growled and slammed his fist on my poor couch.

"Hey! First of all, I am older than you. I know what is right and what is wrong more than you. And two, bribing is not wrong. It's just like business. You just get extra good stuff out of them just like that. And Ink surely deserves some spoiling" he defended himself.

I chuckled and went over him to sit beside him, patting his shoulder. "Relax, Dear. Of course there is nothing wrong in spoiling kids over good jobs done. Just don't make it so frequent. You would then owe them a lot that you won't be able to even repay".

"Ugh jeez Wynne. Of course I know my limits. I practically raised two kids by myself, come on!!" He threw his hands while I rolled my eyes.

"Right right. And also let one of them almost choke in the quicksand" I smirked at him even more, and just like I expected, Nathan turned even more pink and speechless. I then started laughing heartily and wipe the tears of joy from the corner of my eyes.

"Stop, Damnit. Stop teasing me" he snarled. He has his fist balled up again and I could see his veins pulsating in his arm. Though it was far from scaring me, I obliged to his request.

"There there, calm your nerves down. We don't want you smashing my lovely table on someone's birthday, you know" With a wide threatening smile I rubbed his shoulders.

"Tch whatever, Woman" he punched my shoulder lightly, earning a laugh from me. Salette was really lucky to have a brother whom you can tease 24/7 but won't lift a finger on you. The only difference is that I on the other side was in a bit danger, but that's alright. It's not that I am scared of his mindless threats. Also I heard that he likes to charm women?? Hmmm....how am I not surprised haha!!

"Ugh you should be lucky that you are cute. Otherwise I would not have hesitated to destroy your fancy expensive house" Nathan huffed. I raised my eyebrow, glancing at him as he rested his head on the couch and behind his arms.

"Pardon me. Cute???" I asked from minor bewilderment.

"Ummm yeah. That's what I said" he replied.

I stayed silent, still not opening my mouth. Nathan clearly noticed it as he clicked his tongue, annoyed.

"Oh come on. You heard me nicely. You have clear ears" he elaborated. But still that didn't solve my problem.

Nathan then being the stubborn impatient kind grabbed my shoulders and pulled me closer to him. My hands landed on his chest with a thud and my eyes jerked up, a gasp escaped my lips.

"So you don't believe me huh, Blueberry?" His crimson eyes looked directly into mine. Oh no.........

"E-Excuse me?? But what do I have to believe??" The confusion was still on my face. But then it all got sorted when he lifted my chin up, our noses touching and our lips just inches away.

"Want me to tell you?" His whisper, huskily reached my ears. This just made me even more nervous than before.

I gulped, adjusting my position, but he was holding onto me by my waist now. He had a stern grip. It seemed impossible to withdraw.

Nathan closed up to me, our lips were almost going to meet. I wasn't ready for it, but didn't hesitate to close my eyes as well and brace for the kiss. The tension was hot, it was hitting my skin and arousing goosebumps on me. Nathan looked like it wasn't affecting him, because of how he still had his hold on me and his hands weren't shaking like mine.

I was not scared, I was rather bubbling from anticipation of what would Nathan do, but my expectations were destroyed when we were interrupted by the tingling classic London chime.

Of the doorbell.

"Oh fucking goddamnit!!" Nathan cursed, letting go of me and slumping back on the couch. While I just blinked twice, trying to get my system back, and then got up to walk to the door.

"Excuse me Dear" I simply sighed. Poor Nathan. I actually felt bad for him. I promise to compensate his disappointment later.

But nonetheless, I opened the door, and being half-surprised to look at the visitor, I greeted both of them.

"Well Good Evening Ink, Lunie" I said. Lunie (@boiling-potato), as usual, dismissed my salutation and looked away with a 'hmph', but her sister on the other hand, happily returned the hello.

"Good Evening Wynne! It's really good to see you. And you are looking really nice today ^w^" said said. This lit up a smile, as I let both of them com inside my house.

"Why thank you Dear. It's lovely to hear from you too" I grinned back, closing the door. Hmmm....it was kind of warm outside. Maybe due to spring change.

"So....why are we here again??" Lunie crossed her arms and looked around. She sounded as if she was forced to arrive here. Nothing out of unusual at all, actually.

"We are here to celebrate your birthday, Lunie! Wynne and Nathan organised it for you ÒwÓ" Ink replied. Lunie was unamused, as she just sat on one of the couches and kept her head on her hand, disinterested.

"Whatever" she said. I didn't even care actually, because I had already given up and tired. Jeez, edgy kids these days.

But suddenly Nathan appeared behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders. He had a bright smile on his face.

"Hey come on now. It's your birthday! Birthdays are nice! You get to party, have fun with friends, get drunk and might even find a nice boy to-"

Before he could even say anything further, I slapped his mouth shut. Seriously this man bitch doesn't even know how to talk to children sometimes. Ugh Stupid Human.

"And do what?? What do we do with a nice boy OwO?" The ravenette asked. Oh shit, here we go again. Come on Wynne, think of something.

"W-We just greet him a good night, that's all haha!" I smiled at her, but on the inside was boiling from pique.

"Oh! Ok! ^w^" Ink thankfully didn't question it further and settled down. I then let Nathan go, glaring at him for a second, before I went to the kitchen to get the cake. I knew Lunie didn't want to stay here much because of how much we both pissed each other, so I wanted this to get over with quick.

Meanwhile I kept hearing Nathan talking with both Lunie and Ink. He kept entertaining them with chats and jokes, and was doing surprisingly well. That was good. Looks like it was a nice idea to bring him over. Otherwise it would have been pretty awkward if I was by myself.

"What's a cat's favourite colour??"

"What? -_-"

"Ooooooh what OwO??"

"Purr-ple!!"

"ರ_ರ"

"HAHAHAHAHAHHAA nice one, Nathan (≧▽≦)"

Hah......dorks...................

Soon the cake was brought on the table, and the birthday girl was settled right in front of the spongy dessert. The cake had the flavour of chocolate cookies and sugary cream, and it was adorned with dark chocolate musical notes. The cake was white and dark brown, and it had seventeen blue candles on it.

"........The cake looks good" For the first time I heard Lunie saying one positive thing for the whole day. It brightened my mood quite a lot, and so with Nathan. Since we both were the ones who made the cake, and our star for tonight was satisfied. And nothing else could have fulfilled us more.

"We are glad you liked it" I replied. "Thanks Lunie! I hope you would love how it tastes too!!" Nathan beamed. Ink was amazed by the cake, her eyes were literally sparkling. It was adorable to watch. Lunie just nodded to us, as she closed her eyes next, ready to make her wish.

"Let's get this over with" and then she blew the candles.

Happy birthday to you~

Happy birthday to you~

Happy birthday Dear Lunie~

Happy birthday to you 💙💙💙💙💙~

The cake was cut, and was shared. We all enjoyed the dessert. It was pleasantly sweet, not too sugary and not too bland. It was perfect with the soft cream and cookie crunch.

Ink was the happiest one among us all. No surprise again. She loved the cake and the other food me and Nathan had prepared. And she had a lot of fun during games and the present time.

And speaking about presents, Nathan gifted Lunie a recipe book of making different types of desserts. So that she could be self-reliant and learn how to bake what she loves. I actually knew the book, because my father used to have it. Obviously he never followed it, and even if he did, something always went wrong. Lunie seemed pleased though, and that's all that mattered.

At last it was my turn to gift her. And for my part I had given her a navy blue oversized shirt with white musical notes. Come on. Fashion is how I roll, and considering Lunie loved baggy clothing, I had to create one for her with every love I can put into it. And to be candid, I had much delectation with weaving every fibre of it, and truly hoped that she would love to wear it once.

Lunie might be unnecessarily audacious, however she was still relatable to me because she somewhat felt like myself. Those broody eyes, that lethargic expression, the introverted testy approach, reminded me of me. All I had to say was, Lunie is like my sister too. No matter how much we hated each other's guts.

But the most surprising thing for today was how Lunie actually enjoyed the occasion. She said that it wasn't too loud or crowded, and it was rather diverting and a nice distraction from annoyance. This was of course a compliment, even though Nathan didn't look really satisfied by it haha!

But I had fun. And so did the others. The rest of the night went well, with all of us chilling and talking about the early days and future nights. At the very present. All of it together.

🖋Giselle, Sam and Winnie please

ahhh thank you for the ask!!! yess i love babbling about my ocs

Giselle- ok, this girly is SO much like her dad it’s insane. Out of all her siblings, she looks the most like him. Especially since she cut her hair, when they’re in armor the only way you can tell them apart is by their height- though barely. Giselle is the tallest of her siblings, even though she’s the youngest, and is only an inch or so shorter than her dad. She also acts a lot like Chaol, to the point where her grandmother will point out their similar mannerisms. 

When she was little she was a huge troublemaker, and she discovered fighting was a good use of that extra energy, and it gave her something to do so she wouldn’t be off wreaking havoc. When she was 13, she actually got personal training from Rowan and Aelin, which is why at only 17 she’s already in the running to be captain of the guard in Rifthold. It won’t happen until she’s at least 18, but she’s one of the highest ranked guards besides the captain. 

Sam- Sam acts like his dad when you first meet him- broody, quiet, reserved. But when he opens up, he is so much like Aelin. He and Lyria are incredibly at bouncing dirty jokes off each other to get a room to laugh. He also shares his mom’s love of reading and music. He can play several different instruments, but the piano is his favorite. He and Aelin can do incredible duets together. Because of how quiet he is sometimes he feels like he’s too much when he really opens up, and is very insecure about himself, especially his laugh. 

Winnie- Winnie thrives in chaos. She loves all her little siblings a lot, and just has a very big personality. She has little filter and shy isn’t a word in her vocabulary when it comes to people. Winnie is a lot of big talk. Yes, she absolutely can and will kick your ass, but she makes big threats and big promises that sometimes she struggles to keep. Being such a people person, she’s also an incredible spy- and she’s never suspected. She can lie on the spot, very convincingly, and can sweet talk her way out of lots of things. She has a lot of pet peeves, included but not limited to: people touching her hair, people expressing surprise at her being left handed, people asking her to do tricks with her shadows, etc. She doesn’t have a lot of patience for anyone unless they’re family. 

i really loved talking about my babies!! feel free to send in more asks! i’ll do any of my gen 2 characters for any fandom, and i’ll talk about my original works characters too!

ask me about my ocs!

[abb-tts-blog]

hello honey bunnies, i’m tess and one of the greatest injustices that i’ve ever faced in my life is that i might have to use gifs from victorious while playing my brooding babe gideon. 

「 AVAN JOGIA, CISMALE, 26, HOZIER. 」┈ did you read that latest viral gossip issue on GIDEON ABBOTT-NEHRA (ABBOTT)?  he is one of my favorite INDIE ROCK/FOLK artists. they’ve been releasing music for 4 YEARS now, but viral gossip has only been talking about them for the last 3 YEARS. get this, i think i heard HE REFUSES TO GO TO REHAB FOR HIS ALCOHOLISM. they’re known as the BLACK HOLE of the music industry, since they have a rep for being IMAGINATIVE but SELF-DESTRUCTIVE, but who knows. maybe that will change once they become #1.  ( TESS, 18, CST, SHE/HER. )

alcoholism, death tw || profile || plots

sparknotes ver. of his life

gideon was born to an indian father and a british mother in manchester, england (he’s a huge manchester united fan but please don’t have your muse ask about it in a thread because i know nothing about soccer) and has two younger sisters named sophia and hester.

he had a pretty ordinary middle class upbringing! he was always a mischievous kid (if a little intense and emotional) and getting into trouble with the lads xx

he was never much of a star student, but he always loved english. gideon had a way with words that wasn’t immediately apparent if you heard him talk, but shone when he wrote poetry.

his dad had taught him how to play a guitar as a kid, but gideon never really took interest in it until he was 19, when he saw a live performance from a local singer at a pub he and his friends were at. he was so inspired by the lyricism and emotion in the songs that he went home and started plucking away at his old guitar again. he’d hide away in his room for days just piecing together chords and melodies, and he carried around THE RATTIEST notebook full of snippets of lyrics and ideas written down in some corner of an over-crowded page.

eventually, he moved to london at the age of 21, where he started doing his own gigs at nightclubs and pubs or just busking. it was a pretty Rough Time, as he’d yet to really be discovered. he was living in a tiny flat with some friendly cockroaches and was usually behind on rent. his parents were always offering to help him out financially but gideon was so enamored with the idea of the Struggling Brilliant Artist that he turned them down each time.

his big break came when he performed one of the songs that would later end up on his debut album (a little tune y’all might know of called “take me to church”). someone recorded his busking session and uploaded it onto youtube and the rest, they say, is history.

so when he came to the states, gideon fell in love with a beautiful girl. they were really serious, which was surprising considering gideon is an ass, and he was thinking about proposing to her soon, but she died tragically in a hit and run. (plot ideas: ur muse could either be the driver that hit his gf or maybe his gf was ur muse’s sister) he was already depressed to begin with, but this just pushed him off the edge.

he was constantly binge drinking to try to ease the pain and then he’d forget why he was drinking and just keep drinking until he was always drinking for no reason. like he can’t function without a shot sometimes. you can probably catch him with a flask at all times

anyways so that was probably like a year ago but gideon’s liver? is screaming now. and everyone is telling him, “stop it. get some help.” and while gideon’s a pretty private person, the tabloids are starting to notice that something’s a little off too so his management is also screaming. but my stupid boy just shrugs it off like “nah i can stop whenever i want”

personality

he’s like... if eeyore from winnie the pooh was a depressed alcoholic. very moody and broody 24/7

destroys everything he touches so it’s hard for him to maintain meaningful human relationships haHa

SO reckless and impulsive like he truly does not give a shit about repercussions. he does stupid things For The Art. worse comes to worst, he has new material to write a song about :-)

as a friend, gid is great! super loyal and supportive and chill. as a boyfriend, gid is the worst (at least now he is). super possessive and toxic and a lil bit disillusioned with the whole thing but HEY at least he’s a great fuck!

anyways please come plot with me!! i linked my plots page above the cut but here it is again if you don’t feel like scrolling. i’m sure we can come up with something wonderful together and odds are i’ve already stalked your page and im love with ur muse and simply waiting for us to plot :-)))

New Floors

Five years ago this week, I was on the verge of becoming a new chicken Mom. I didn’t realize it at the time. Or I did. You see, we had ordered twenty-five Rhode Island Red chicks as a straight run from our local Tractor Supply. But chick-fever is a real thing and our baby RiRs would not be there until May. Every trip to Tractor Supply included hovering over the metal bins of peeping chicks and…

MSJESSREADS: Broody Billionaire (The Wes Lancaster Collection – Max Monroe

Our Grumpiest, Broodiest (and arguably my favourite) billionaire is back in his own three book collection! Wes Lancaster was introduced to us in Scoring Her – where we get to see his relationship with Winnie Winslow grow from an unwanted attraction (on both sides) to something more into the consuming love we can’t help but swoon over (especially when it comes to Little Lexi!). We then get to see…

I really don’t know how Winnie became the bubbly one and Brooke is the broody one now. Four years ago Winnie hated everything and Brooke’s attitude was nothing but positive. What the hell happened?

[hvaths]

* cue the spongebob time cards * a million hours later and here we go ! so, if you didn’t catch my last post, i’m taylor....catch me being a night owl, quoting disney movies and moonlighting as a hip barista. this is my adventurous ( sometimes broody child ), heath mcleod. i’ve had my eye on this for a bit and since i’m finally home from a vacation and able to be on here i am !! we’re both super excited to be here ok you all seem so lovely and i can feel this is going to be so liT....heath, he’s here for the experience and i just can’t wait to hopefully ruin his life that much more but hey, mum is the word on that one still. onto the intro !!

heath was born to a rather prominent family in breckenridge, co — a popular vacation town at the base of the rocky mountains where his family partners in owning a ski resort. he has two siblings: an older brother and younger sister, both of which he’s close with and protective of. growing up he was quieter than most people would expect of him, his brother always having been the outgoing one. the likeable leader who was sure to go places. but one day that changed and there was a shift in his and his brother’s dynamic. something that didn’t just affect him, but his family as well. it turned the wheels for his need to get out and escape from his life in search of one of his very own.

currently, he would be what most considered the black sheep of his family. while he’s off traveling the world and vlogging every adventure along the way, his family is still at home stuck in their same uptight routine. he pops in every so often for a visit, but its rare and his parents — mostly his dad, a decorated olympian — rarely acknowledge his existence outside of the texts and formal holiday cards surely signed for him by his mom wishing him well and the occasional be safe. mostly he just stops in to check to check in on his brother, archer, and bring his sister, winnie, something from his travels before dashing off like he was never there.

this guy has done so many cool things and been to so many cool places on the thriftest of budgets, toting along the go pro he saved up for and a gifted camera for capturing memories envied by many of his subscribers and followers. his instagram page is all lifestyle + aesthetic and super pleasing to any small town dreamer’s eye, and he’s built up a really nice following because of it. his sister, though, is probably his biggest “fan” and support.

personality wise, he can be a bit more mysterious, and often comes across as a bad boy because of his broody, reticent, and sometimes hot headed nature. but it’s different when he’s in a group of people opposed to enjoying his solitude while being out there and experiencing the world and its beauty. he’s normally not the loudest person in the room, but the type to just sit back and look on and observe. but get him going about his travels and you might just see his eyes light up and soften with the love he has for it all.

he’s simple and will tell things like it is, though, if he cares about you platonically or even romantically, it can be painfully hard for him to show it. still, he’ll have your back at the end of the day and stick up for you unless you’ve given him a good reason not to.

this whole mtv ordeal isn’t something he’d normally partake in, but between his competitive nature, the beauty of the place, and it being a new adventure, being here doesn’t feel all that bad.

and that’s literally all i can think of for now, folks !! but please like this or drop by my dms if you’d be interesting in plotting or just want to know more/chat !! <3
