Hejcia motylki, ogólnie to miałam robić fasta ale ze względu tego że mam okres i strasznie ciągnie mnie do jedzenia to postanowiłam że przez te 4 dni będę miała limit 1000 kcal jakoś a zaraz jak mi się skończy będę robiła 3/4 dniowego fasta. Ogólnie zjadłam dzisiaj owsiankę z mlekiem, dwiema lyzeczkami cukru i trzeba łyżeczkami nutelli ale pół tej owsianki wyrzuciłam do kosza bo po chwili jakoś odechciało mi się jeść, a później zjadłam zupkę chińska ostrą, naprawdę mam nadzieję że przez ten okres nie zjebie sobie wagi bo dzisiaj już miałam 58. Jeszcze 3 kg i będzie pierwszy gw!

SURPRISE SUNDAY SENTENCES! CHAPTER 1 OF AGE GAP AU IS HERE!

how far will we take it | rated E | ch 1 of 10 | Henry Fox would never sleep with a professor to get ahead. Good thing he's got his sights set on his professor's husband.

updating every Sunday!

This fic has been a long time coming! I'm still writing the last few chapters, but I figured I'd start releasing chapters weekly as I finish it (as a treat)! This has been a labor of love and I have to thank my muses Alex (@redlipstickandglitter) and Dani (@mossy-fae) for putting up with me in the groupchat throughout the whole process.

This is based on season 2 of the show Tell Me Lies, with many of the same lines used, but also many creative liberties taken. PLEASE keep an eye on the tags, as I will update them with each chapter. (Each chapter will also have its own author's note with any and all appropriate warnings).

If you HAVE seen season 2 of Tell Me Lies, I promise this fic will not have the same ending (because that really sucked).

Each chapter title is a song and starts with the lyric that sets the tone for that section. Fic title is How Far Will We Take It from Orville Peck & Noah Cyrus.

tagging for sunday sentences, but also those who have been supporting this baby for the last couple months!

rilla, ch 10

currently spending too much time reading theses abt Rilla and thinking if I had actually been an english major I could've done that. unfortunate

hey this chapter is . A lot happening! The title intimates as much but it's especially the growing opposition of Jem and Walter that's always been stark but is so incredibly diametric here. a lot of Walter brooding and a lot of Rilla both going through it on very different levels while Jem's suffering on Salisbury Plain but still cheerful

the white feather -- "sometimes I wish I had never been born" + giving up on life. Yowch! + I have always and will continue to read special importance in the direct mention of Una's friendship here. I also am sitting here thinking about the emphasis of enlisting for a Greater Cause which is Walter's driving force later on (i.e. Una making him want to enlist despite her not saying anything to the effect). It is not cowardice to not want to kill others (!!) but there's a Cause(tm)

all the mentioned poetry I want to read!!

"Our enemies, not King George's enemies" is a really funny line. The offhanded violence of some of the things said in this book yell. It is, however, justifiable in this context in the sense of relieving your feelings

OH WORD it's the velvet hat google is distinctly unhelpful with how much the price could've been. Like a) how big was Rilla's allowance and b) how much was it to justify such a reaction -- Anne's looking LOL. Three years or the duration of the war! Only the sheer stubbornness of a 15 year old!!

doing some silly side math based on googling: if you were spending $8 on 3 hats on average--around $254 today--that would avg out to $85/hat so Rilla's hat must've cost upward of $100 in today's money ($5+ in 1915) but who knows man. I don't buy hats so I don't know what's considered a high price, but $100+ for an item of clothing as extravagant as she makes it sound as a 15 year old is STEEP no matter how you look at it. Especially in wartime and Rilla knows it

And the Irene disillusion! Every Morgan mention makes me laugh sorry this is just such a funny running bit. it's not like I know much abt babies but some of the things said here make me want to find and pick up a book on babies from that time out of sheer curiosity. (I also may have missed this--was Morgan such a Bible for Anne raising her children or was it just sitting around for Rilla LOL)

self edit I went hunting zero mentions of Morgan before Jims

I wonder WHAT it was that was said abt Walter -- there are many potential options, but Rilla's protectiveness also means it could have been less serious than it looks but Who Knows

all the Polish names just remind me of the history classes where I was absolutely flummoxed by the names in my readings vs hearing them said out loud by professors. STILL an issue btw it's so bad (I am… not good at pronouncing Polish)

[kitty-gray]

THE WICKED POWERS SPOILERS (Ch 2 extract)

The options are:

Jem is right and there's nothing to worry about (Cassandra. Cassandra, look me in the eyes and tell me there's nothing to worry about. Cassandra)

Ty is being possessed (I have a case for both Belial (actual case) and Lucifer (vibes))

Thule!Ty (which... Idk)

Actual Ty ("the man who had caused all this" could mean a domino effect between raising Livvy and giving a doorway to the princes of hell to take earth. Which, yk, bad. But also there could be something More... Like. Ty's character development has to be towards letting Livvy go but to get to that point, our boy needs to hit rock bottom (writers rules idk). What's a better way to do that than to make some sort of deal with the PH that ends up fucking everything up (I'm not that sure about this point... But yk, Cassandra loves driving us to the thin line of unwellness and insanity so))

I refuse to believe Ty could ever become a sanguinary murderer that causes the end of the world on purpose (I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm sweating cold just writing this. I feel like I'm tempting the Fates or smth.)

[fat-butterflys]

Mam dola... I to w CH*j! Dlaczego jestem taka beznadziejna? Nic mi ostatnio nie wychodzi..totalnie poległam...myślałam że jak wrócę do pracy będzie lepiej w końcu nikt mnie nie pilnuje,nie patrzy na to ile w domu jem itd ale nie...ja jak to ja potrafię tylko zjebac... Mam dość siebie i mojego beznadziejnego życia!

[devilsmenu]

"Yeah. He's a wizard and your long-time friend" Rafe saisto Jem. "Yeah, Shadowhunters. Half human half seraphim. This in my skin are called runes".

"Magnus Bane?" It feels familiar, he just can't recall. "I feel like I should, if that's any help?" He frowns. "Shadowhunters? Tell me more."

[burntheedges]

#9 & #25 please when you get the chance!

hi Emma! 🧡 I love these two because I get to share recs!

9. A work from another creator you keep coming back to

I'm going to share a few because why not spread the joy around?

Be-All and Endor by @djarins-cyare - Jem knows how many times I've read this, lol. It's a lot. Read it!!

Meet Me in the Back by @joelstummy - no idea how many times I've read this, I'm pretty sure Katy knows how much I love it.

Sequins by @trulybetty - I'm pretty sure my love for this one is known, but I just reread it the other day. I love it so much 😭

25. A scene or image that lives rent-free in your head

I'll share one from each of the fics I mentioned above! Beware of spoilers! I tried not to choose anything too spoilery.

From Ch 11 of Be-All:

Din’s ungloved hand releases yours and steadies your chin. Then he slowly leans forward until the ridge on his helmet just above his visor makes gentle contact with your forehead, so softly that it’s almost a caress. Your eyes flutter closed, and you feel them moisten at the tenderness in his gesture.

From part 8 of MMITB -- I couldn't figure out a part to quote that didn't feel like a spoiler. So I'll just say everything after "The skin around your eyes..."

And from Sequins:

Just got home. Tonight was something. Glad we met.

It's so hard not to pick spoilers. lol

rilla, ch 3

one more before the storm breaks

this chapter is simultaneously heartbreakingly beautiful as Maud is wont to be and really prosaic (hello impending war) + mentions of haunting the newspapers knowing something massive is abt to happen. The beauty's real, but it's abt to be stripped away, and the fear's there already. Anticipation for some, terror for others.

The green dress and silver slippers--canon event of pain for vanity but i went hunting for dresses that might work and now I want

Jem and Walter so diametrically different--the adventurer adn the poet--and then the loveliest passage--"the world was steeped in maddening loveliness of sound and color"--and then Jem telling the story of the doctor on the battlefield. yowch

Gertrude Oliver and her diabolical moods. wrong time, bestie!! not to a 15 year old abt to go to her first real party!! INSANE dream bro. (it makes more sense that these were Maud's own dreams, but the mood shifts are crazy in this chapter + Rilla, 15 and on top of the world, just brushing it off)

for some godforsaken reason I wrote "I find this hilarious" next to the paragraph about the Rainbow Valley trysts and based on the handwriting it must've been when I was 14. hey what

I had an OC in the Anne universe when I was like 11 and I named her Sophia and I was so devastated to remember Cousin Sophia exists and literally none of the Blythes would name a child Sophia. So that happened! absolutely irrelevant, but now every time I see that name I thikn of Cousin Sophia. She's kind of hilarious though I will not lie

"Mary Vance is a habit of ours" I kind of love her more but she has so much nerve to hang out with all the people who talk smack abt her

Maud continues to be absolutely fantastic at quick character sketches and all the little dramas especially from a 14/15 year old's perspective but Shirleyyy "sedate, sensible, thoughtful, full of a quiet humor" RAHHHH <33 all the side stories have me in a chokehold, yet again

I do think it is remarkable Rilla was the only one who ever clocked Una's love for Walter bc you would Not think it would be her but she's the observant one in this case. sudden depth! kind of funny she prefers Una because she's jealous of Faith though. very on-brand. I love you Una Meredith.

The Last Hours of a Herondale

Ch. 3 Carstairs

Pairing: Matthew Fairchild x herondale reader Word count:1.5k

Brother Zachariah

I was invited at the London Institute once again by Will who, through out the year he was inventing the most incredible excuses to summon me here so we can spend the day together. cannot deny that it is my pleasure to spend as much time as I can here. With Will, with Tessa and the kids. I feel grateful for them but mostly when the phrase ‘Uncle Jem’ comes from Y/N, James or Lucie, I am happy that they don’t seem to be uneased or afraid by my somewhat disturbing appearance. I am a silent brother after all.

I assumed I arrived earlier than expected as I strolled down the corridor of the room. It was empty and quiet when the sound of my violin stroked my ears. It was Mozart and it came from my former music room, I used to spent endless hours there until Will would come and annoy me. It was honestly the best annoyance in the world. I knew Y/N was using that room as I gave her my violin and notes when I first witnessed her as a toddler. I taught her the notes and I am glad to hear she has gotten so far even without my teaching.

I paused outside the door and enjoyed the melody. I hadn’t heard music in so long that I simply wanted to enjoy its sound. After some moments I walked in and the girl paused. She was well dressed, even though her expression reminded me of Will when he was bothered by something and would bury himself under a pile of books before he would decide to speak with me. Y/N paused her movements and turned to the entrance, I was glad she smiled once she sensed my presence in the room.

“Uncle Jem Good morning.” She smiled, she looked grateful it was me. I don’t know if it was the fact that I was a silent brother or the common things she had with her parents that help me perceive Y/N, James and Lucie’s behavior better.

“Good morning Y/N. Please don’t stop, I haven’t heard violin… Since the last time you played.” I would smile if I could.

“Perhaps you want to play? I am using gloves either way...” She offered the instrument. She was prepared for the breakfast to welcome the Carstairs, my closest blood-related family. I could sense she was uneased and I knew she wanted to converse something with me. It was the same tone Tessa was using once she wanted to say something. I was glad my niece was trusting me with her issues more than her parents. I mean, I do know how pressuring and overprotective Will and Tessa can be first hand.

“No, my playing would be torture for close-by listeners. Could you play Mozart perhaps. Any symphony you know best.” I requested and sat at a chair.

“I know the 40th symphony. The one you have noted yourself.” She spoke before she touched the bow to the strings of my old violin and started playing. As the smooth sound of the symphony flooded the room my gaze wandered at the changes that had been done to the room I used to spent most of my time. The fireplace was lit, the small fire roaring and offering a warmth feeling inside the room. The piano was moved next to the door, there was a bookcase on the place where there was empty spots or furniture with white sheets upon them. Utterly unused. The side that was completely empty is filled with paint and canvases empty and with drawings. I saw many paintings, My gaze fell on the family portrait she copied. It was the first Christmas after me and Will had gone through our ceremony. There was Charlotte and Henry in the middle. On Henry’s side stood Jessamine, Cyrus and Sophie while on Charlotte’s side there was me and Will. Exactly six years before Tessa came into our lives.

Before I knew it the symphony ended and I clapped slowly. “Congratulations, you’ve come along way on the violin. And as I see with the painting as well. It is pretty.” I commented and she nodded as she sat down on the carpet in front of the fireplace. “Will we not join the others at the dining room?” I asked.

“Of course, I wanted to mention that I had a vision the other day… It wasn’t much. But you said I should mention when I go through it.” Said Y/N as her attention was more on the music notes than me. She was organizing them carefully.

“And what triggered it? What did you see?” I wondered.

“We went at the stupid Tavern the Merry Thieves go. And the server, she wiped some ichor from my face and I immediately realized I was being dragged out of my body. I only saw how she turned into a werewolf and how she turned her first wolf… And then casually woke up.” She summarized her recent experience with her charisma. Both twins presented to have an ability and both of them seem to dislike that and who could blame them. Tessa and Will worry and I am still studying on the mysticistic books that the City of bones hide. Y/N charisma seems to have multidimensional and controversial explanations while James’ is more difficult to gather intel about.

“Its alright, you did good to mention it. As I understand it was not that exhausting physically.” I made a regard and earnt a positive nod. “How about James? Did he have any incidents?” I asked.

“Look, I do not know if he will talk to you and on this matter I kind of trust you more on this than mama and papa… James disappeared during the battle of last night. We covered for each other to our parents. It was a close call for both of us and Math.”  Y/N spoke with uncertainty although I am sure it was because of the guilt she felt for speaking of her brother.

“Do not be concerned Y/N. I am sure James will come to me himself just like you did.” I assured her and she nodded. “Is there anything else you wish to share?” I asked her.

“No that was it.” She replied.

“Alright then I will be going. Thank you for the small concerto Y/N. See you in a while.” I greeted and left the room before I made my way to the dining table to find it empty, only cutlery and placed in perfect positions in order for the meal to be prepared. The library, I turned on my way. I opened the wide door and found them by the poetry shelves.

“Well well hello. Look who arrived early.” Will commented on my arrival. “You must have missed us.” He then added and approached me before he pulled me in a hug.

“Your invitation mentioned 8 o clock… But as a matter of fact I have missed you.” I spoke and slowly wrapped my arms around William.

“You seem skeptical. Do the Brothers treat you good or there is any issue.” Will asked and looked straight at my face. Even with my new features he could read me as could I.

“Will you needn’t worry about me. I guess I felt nostalgic. I heard Y/N play. I asked her to play something and she had my old notes.” I spoke with a heavy exhale and Tessa placed her hand on my shoulder. It was a painful feeling of nostalgia and melancholy that I never pondered of feeling again. Silent Brothers are not supposed to feel. But I do feel. I feel many things. Perhaps it because my cousin’s family. Cordelia, Shawna and Alastair are the only blood relatives I have left.

Will didn’t speak. I knew he was feeling this everyday.

“She grew to play just like you.” Tessa smiled at me, she was trying to ease the tensity, her gaze darting between me and Will.

“Indeed. I am glad my violin is being used and that the music room is filled with life” I explained and looked at them.

“Can you not say that you are needed here. In order to stay here longer. I am sure Brother Enoch wont need your assistance. James asked for you as well.” Will spoke and this got me a bit joyful.

“I could do that…” I spoke and placed my hand on Will’s shoulder when a servant walked in to bring a letter from Charlotte. With a quick glance Will read it and I saw annoyance and light anger to be sketched upon his features.

“What is it?” Tessa asked him.

 “We have to go to the Cornwall Gardens at the gathering that was arranged, Carstairs are already on their way there. Charlotte only found out, now as she said in the letter.” Will spoke up his voice rising as he threw the letter. “I am sorry Jem” He spoke.

“You don’t have to apologize. There will be time” I assured him.

“Now go tell your daughter that she will have to go outside.” Tessa smiled at Will and patted his shoulder.

“Which one?” Will asked and looked at us confused.

“Lucie will be more excited if we tell her that. Honestly William!” Tessa sighed.

“I will be leaving now. See you soon both.” I patted Will’s shoulder and left before the situation would get him angrier.
