just met with my old coworker from my last job for breakfast and she told me all the gossip and how my evil old supervisor is going down in flames already 🤭❤️

This has been bugging me for a while now, so:

About a month ago, I started working with a new employee. I work in a lab and my main analysis that I run is a two-person job, so I work with this guy between three to four days every week. The other day (or two) I run a different test, but I'm currently working with another analyst so she can take over that test once I leave (I'm getting married and moving soon). Anyway. A week or so after new employee starts, I'm running my secondary test with the other analyst, and the lady in charge of lab safety comes over to check the gas tanks or something. Safety lady is probably late-forties; I know she has teenage kids and maybe one in college. She starts talking to the other analyst, who is a few years older than I am, and also engaged. I don't particularly pry into other people's personal details, but she's volunteered that she and her fiance are living together and don't have a wedding date set but "maybe two or three years from now." Anyway. Safety lady then addresses me and says, "You're working with the new hire, huh? How's he doing?"

"Oh," I say, "He's been great! He's learning fast, and in a few more weeks he'll be up to speed."

"Oh nice," says safety lady. "Plus he's cute, riiiiiight?"

So let's see. What I'm thinking is, that's a weird thing for a middle aged woman to say about a younger employee who's probably younger than her own kids. I'm thinking, I really don't have a particular opinion one way or the other about his appearance. To be honest if I saw him outside the context of work I don't think I'd recognize him. I'm thinking, gosh you know I love my fiance so much and he's the handsomest guy in the world and I don't really care what anyone else looks like anyway. I'm thinking, I really don't want to say anything about my new coworker's looks at all. What am I supposed to say? "No I think he's ugly." Hmmmm maybe not. I'm thinking all this, and what I say outloud is,

"I'm getting married."

To which safety lady and other analyst respond with *concerning* conviction, "Oh but that doesn't mean you can't think he's cute!" and "Well sure you can't touch but you can still look!"

"Yeah," continues the younger woman, "you're getting married but that doesn't mean you're dead. You still have eyes. That's what I say to my fiance. You still notice when someone else is attractive."

And that. Really. REALLY. Bugged me.

I did not say anything else. Safety lady and other analyst moved on and the day continued and I never said anything else to them about it.

But what I SHOULD have said was,

Actually, marriage *is* a living death. It's a death to self. It's sacrificing my life so my spouse and I can find new life in Christ. So don't try to cajole me into objectifying another person just because you don't understand that marriage is a sacred covenant. I may not have said the vows yet but I fully intend to, and to say them with my whole heart, and what God has joined together no man shall put asunder.

Anyway.

I snapped today at work, and by snapped I mean I politely commented on a help desk ticket by summing up an mess of an (type of) issue that's come up for at least the fourth time in the 2+ months I've been managing user accounts, and asked the person responsible to fix it (himself for once) because last time I fixed his mess-up it took me two whole days to work out the details with at least four other colleagues from different departments and I really don't want to do it again. there's other shit that needs doing, I've been working 10+ hour days for most of this week already, so I need to cut down not add on more.

(good thing tho - at least we managed to fix the issue where the dataset of a newer employee got mixed up with another one of the same name and therefore wasn't able to apply for any of the access/accounts she needed. technically not entirely my area but it does impact us not being allowed to create an account for her so I figured I might as well track that issue down. took three days and at least three other people, but hey - it should all work out now. yay for that)

azris week day 7: epilogue

AN: this week was so fun! thank you for doing this event @azrisweek

okay now on to the fluff! no content warnings, they're just disgustingly in love (also insinuated mpreg lol)

Eris found Azriel in his usual space, standing on the terrace, eyes on the horizon. His wings were open wide, catching the last warm rays of the sun. He didn't move when Eris came to stand next to him, but he reacted to the air warming around them, relaxing a little when he felt the familiar magic. Eris smiled when his husband shuffled closer to him, his large wings shielding his back from the cool shadow of the house.

They'd been spending more and more time at their estate on the coast of Caritni, especially Azriel. He fell in love with the house from the moment he first set foot in it during their honeymoon. Eris suspected it was because of the big windows. He could see both the sea and the mountains of Silesia from the balcony facing north. He knew Azriel missed the mountain wind of Illyria more than he'd ever admit and this place was the next best thing.

The house was filled with good memories spanning centuries. Azriel had spent the majority of all three pregnancies here, their children had been born and raised in these rooms. They had learned to speak and walk and fly in Caritni and even though they were all grown up now they still visited this home more than any of the others, the Forest House included.

Azriel had even considered moving his mother here but she flat out refused to leave Illyria.

"What are you thinking about?" Eris asked his husband, whose eyes were still on the sun setting over the woods and hills further inland.

"Did you bring Hila?" he replied. Eris shook his head.

"She was adamant that she wanted to finish the negotiations with Sasha before the end of the month. I have a feeling she might use my absence to light a fire under his ass." Azriel chuckled.

"After dealing with you for over a thousand years, your brother should be equipped to handle it," he said. Eris laughed, reaching for his husband's hand.

"He should."

"She works too much." Despite the neutral tone Eris could tell his mate was upset. He squeezed his hand gently. Azriel preferred Caritni over the Forest House, he always had, but while Eris was willing to winnow every night to see his mate, their eldest daughter was around much less these days.

"She's an Heir."

"Nyx doesn't work nearly as hard," Azriel pointed out. Eris gave his husband a look to show exactly what he thought of his nephew's work ethic. Then he shrugged.

"She's your daughter after all."

"Oh, so it's my fault Hila is a workaholic?" Azriel huffed. Eris bit back a laugh and shook his head, linking his fingers with Azriel's to stop him from crossing his arms to lock in his sulking.

"I'm sure she gets it from both of us," he conceded, "After all, when do we ever sit still?"

"We are right now," Azriel argued, and Eris suppressed the urge to roll his eyes. Azriel trying to lecture someone else on not spending enough time on themselves was so incredibly hypocritical he would have snorted if he didn't know Azriel was genuinely worried for their daughter.

"First of all, still standing. And second, yes - after over a thousand years." Azriel just stared at him, his eyebrows raised so high they almost seemed to touch his hairline. Up close he could see a couple of grey hairs in his dark curls and Eris had to stop himself from brushing his fingers through them.

"What I'm trying to say is give her time to figure out her pace. She'll know what she can and can't handle," he concluded, and Azriel sighed.

"I guess," was all he said and Eris took that as permission to finally move in and carefully wrap his arms around his husband's torso, pulling him close as they watched the sun set over the Autumn Court.

"I love you," he murmured.

"I love you too," Azriel answered, his voice equally soft, then added, "even though you work too much too." Eris kissed him on the cheek.

"Get inside then. I'll show you just how serious I am about my work, as a High Lord, a father, and a husband." Azriel's laughter was slightly muffled as Eris kissed him again, and again, and again, until long after the sun had already disappeared beyond the hills.
