Invisible String 𓍼 Julián Álvarez pt.2

A/N: I'm back with part two of Invsible String! I hope you enjoy reading it <3

“One single thread of gold tied me to you,”

“I think my parents are going to lose their shit when we arrive,” Julian says and you chuckle. “What exactly did you tell them Juli?” you ask while keeping your focus on the road ahead. “Just that you were in town and we ran into each other yesterday and then Mom said I should bring you to the house for breakfast,” he says and smiles widely.

You giggle, “My parents still love you by the way, they wonder about you guys all the time,” he adds. “We missed all of you too, I can give her my mom’s number so they can get in contact again,” you say. “She’d love that a lot,” he replies.

Julián finishes giving you the directions to his parent's new house and a few minutes later you’ve arrived. After parking, you exit the car and let him lead the way. Before opening the door Julián smiles at you and presses a tender kiss to your cheeks. Twisting the key he unlocks the door and leads you inside.

It smells delicious and your mouth waters, “Mamá, Papá ya llegamos!” Julián yells announcing your arrival. (Mom, Dad we’re here!) You hear some rushed whispers and you stifle a laugh. Julián stands next to you and discreetly places his hand around your waist making you blush. Gustavo and Mariana Alvarez appear a few feet in front of you and once their sights land on you, they smile.

“Dios mío cariño,te ves radiante!” she gushes and you laugh. (My god, darling you look amazing!)

Instantly she wraps you in a tight hug, “Gracias Mariana,” you croak out, and after a bone-crushing hug she lets you go. (Thank you, Mariana) “Ya estás hecha toda una mujer, es un gusto volverte a ver,” Gustavo says and hugs you. (You’re all grown up it’s a pleasure to see you again)

You laugh, “Los extrañaba tanto, me alegra verlos. “La casa se ve hermosa,” you say and they smile. (I missed you so much, it makes me really glad to see you. The house looks amazing) “Bueno la comida ya está lista, así que vengan,” Mariana says. (The food is ready so please come over)

Julián winks at you and you follow his parents to the kitchen. His hand is on the small of your back and you smile at the feeling.

The table is full of food and you grin once you see all the traditional foods you missed. “Huele increíble!”, you comment. (It smells amazing!) “Y con hambre va a saber mejor,” Julián adds and you all laugh. (It’s gonna taste better because we’re hungry)

Being the gentleman he was raised to be, Julián pulls out the chair for you, sitting down you look up at him and smile. His cheeks have a slight tint of red and he takes the chair next to you. You spot the pancakes with dulce de leche and grin.

Mariana smiles fondly, “Me imagino que aún te gustan los panqueques,” she says and you nod. (I suppose that you still like pancakes) “Claro! Cada vez que me quedaba con ustedes todo lo que te pedía era esto”, you say and she laughs. (Of course! Every time I stayed over all I asked for was pancakes)

“Me acuerdo que tan pronto llegabas era lo primero que me pedías” she says. (I remember that once you arrived the first thing you asked for was pancakes)

Taking some pancakes from the plate you take a sip from your mate and pass the plate with pancakes to Julián. The four of you chat over breakfast, “¿Cuánto tiempo piensas quedarte?” Gustavo asks. (How long are you planning on staying?)

“Por el resto del mes, luego tengo que regresar a Londres,” you reply. (For the remainder of the month,I have to head back to London right after) “Cómo encuentras la vida en Londres?” he asks you. (How do you find life in London?) “Interesante, me gusta la ciudad y siempre encuentro algo nuevo que hacer,” you reply. (Interesting, I enjoy the city and I always find something new to do)

“Y el trabajo va bien?” Mariana asks you. (Is work going well?) “Muy bien, ya he editado varias piezas pero aún no me ha tocado un libro. Por ahora trabajo con periódicos, revistas y cuentos cortos” you tell her. (Very good, I’ve already edited a few pieces but I haven’t been assigned a book. For now, I’m working with newspapers, magazines, and short stories.)

“Estoy segura que has estado muy contenta con el trabajo, siempre estabas con un libro,” She says fondly and you chuckle. (I’m sure you’re very happy with it, you always had a book with you.) “Mateo y Laura siguen en Miami?” she asks. (Are Mateo and Laura still in Miami?) “Sí, tienen viajes de trabajo ahora mismo, pero aún siguen en Miami,” you tell her. (Yes, they have work trips right now but they’re still in Miami.)

“Deberíamos visitarlos cuando regresemos a Miami,” Gustavo suggests. (We should visit them next time we’re in Miami) “

Les voy a dar la dirección y sus números nuevos, de seguro se van a poner muy contentos cuando sepan de ustedes,” you tell them (I’m going to give you their numbers and address, surely they’ll be thrilled to hear about you.)

You carry on talking and you feel Julián’s hand on your thigh, you shift a little and try to not smile. “Bueno ya te tengo que preguntar porque no me aguanto,”Mariana says. (Well, I have to ask this now because I can’t wait any longer) Her statement makes you laugh and Julián sighs.

“Mamá por favor! Apenas lleva medio día con nosotros,” he says and you giggle. (Mom please! She’s barely spent half a day with us) You know what Mariana is going to ask and you rest your chin on your palm. “Tienes novio cariño?” she asks. (Do you have a boyfriend darling?)

You laugh and shake your head, “Nop,” you say. “No lo puedo creer, tan bonita y sin novio!” she exclaims. (I can’t believe it, you’re so pretty and without a boyfriend!)

“Quizás es el momento perfecto para decirte que Juli no tiene a nadie,” she candidly says.(Perhaps this is the perfect moment to tell you that Julián is single)

Gustavo laughs as you and Julián blush, his hand is still on your thigh and he squeezes a little. “Bueno pero que es este silencio? Acaso dije algo malo?” Mariana says and you laugh. (Well, what’s with this silence? Did I say something wrong?)

Next to you, Julian is shaking his head as he smiles a little. “Ya me imaginaba que saldrías con algo,” he says. (I was already imagining you’d pull something like this) “Bueno pero vos sos amigos desde pequeños, no vendría mal salir con alguien conocido y son grandes ya,” she says. (Well you’ve both been friends since little, it wouldn’t go wrong hanging out with someone familiar and you’re adults now)

“Has ido a un partido del Manchester City ya?” Gustavo asks, changing the topic. (Have you been to a Manchester City game already?) “No he podido pero ayer le prometí a Juli que voy a ir,” you reply. (No I haven’t, but I promised Juli I’ll go to one) “Ojalá y volvamos a coincidir allá,” he says and you grin. (Hopefully we can meet again over there)

You’re in the kitchen with Mariana helping her clean. “Ahora que el Juli no está aprovecho y te digo algo,” she says and you giggle. (Now that Juli isn’t here, I’ll take the opportunity to tell you something)

“Dime,” (Tell me) you say and she laughs. “Yo creo que Juli no ha salido con ninguna mina porque estaba esperando a encontrarse contigo de alguna forma.” (I think Juli hasn’t gone out with any girl because he was waiting to run into you somehow)

Oh if only she knew what happened last night. As much as you loved Gustavo and Mariana, last night you and Julián decided not to tell them anything yet because you wanted to spend this month exploring your relationship.

“Ah si, no ha salido con nadie?” you ask her. (Oh yeah, he hasn’t gone out with anyone?) She shakes her head, “No, pasa el tiempo libre trancado y no habla con ninguna. Siempre le dije a Gustavo que ustedes acabarían juntos,” she says with a smile. (No, he spends his free time locked inside and doesn’t talk to any girls. I always told Gustavo you’d end up together)

You giggle, “Todo puede pasar verdad, ya veremos” you say and she kisses your cheek. (Everything can happen, we’ll see)

“Me encantaría que termines con Juli porque ya eres familia pero todo puede pasar,” she says and winks at you. (I’d love for you to end up with Juli because you’re already family but everything can happen)

Deep down you feel like Mariana knows because she’s always been very perceptive and just like your mother she avidly believes you and her son were meant to end up together. The day is spent at the Álvarez household chatting and watching football.

After dinner, you say goodbye to the family and of course, Mariana sends you both home with leftovers. “That was a little intense,” Julián says as you exit the driveway. Laughing you wave him off, “I missed it honestly, and your mom is not wrong Juli, I feel like she knows,” you say. “Me too, but she still might be mostly clueless and she’s nudging us towards each other,” he says.

“And it’s working because when you said you had no boyfriend I wanted to ask you on the spot,” he adds with a laugh. “Were you now?” you tease and he laughs. “Mariposa come on, you know I would. But I want to do it like we agreed last night, we still have to keep knowing our grown-up versions,” he says.

“We do and believe me I want everything with you but I would hate for us to rush into this and have everything go wrong,” your voice has an edge and Julián can sense your worry. “We won’t go wrong, trust me,” he says and you smile.

“Speaking of doing it right. What do you say to spending the day together in Buenos Aires tomorrow?” he asks. Grinning, you nod before focusing on the road again. “Absolutely, I would love that Juli,” you say.

“Great, I’ll pick you up tomorrow bright and early,” he says. “At what time?” you ask.” “Four am, we can get there early,” he says. “Okay, I can call my dad and see if the apartment is empty. We can stay there and crash for a few days,” you say. “Great, it’s a date then,” he says grinning. “You got yourself a date Juli,” you say blushing.

You drop Julian off at his apartment and he kisses you sweetly before getting out of the car. Once he’s inside you drive for another ten minutes before getting home. While packing a bag for the next few days you text your parents and go to bed early to get some sleep since you need to be up at four in the morning.

You’ve been in Buenos Aires for a full week and it has been amazing. Both of you missed the city so you did not miss the opportunity to visit all of your favorite places. This week has been a great opportunity to explore your relationship which was growing comfortably.

As individuals you’d both matured immensely but the core of your identities and your dynamic was still untouched. Being with Julián is familiar, it feels safe and fun. It truly feels as if time hasn’t passed between you.

Walking out of the restaurant you feel the humidity in the air. “Do you want to walk around or head back to the apartment?” Julián asks you. “We can walk for a bit and then head back,” you say.

“Good we can walk all this food off,” he jokes. Throwing your head back you laugh, “It’s the only wise choice after stuffing our faces. Julián laughs at your statement and swings your interlaced hands making you laugh a little.

Walking through the streets you smile at the lively atmosphere, music can be heard from nearby and you turn to Julián with a grin on your face. He laughs as you pull him in the direction the music comes from.

There’s a crowd gathered in the street and people are singing and dancing. You and Julián end up dancing for most of the night and by the time you get to the apartment, you’re both tired and with sore feet but extremely happy.

Julián sits on the driver’s side of your car, since the trip back is eight hours you’d driven one half and he was driving the other. Lifting your head you rub your eyes and turn to look at him. Music plays softly and you sip some water from your cup. “Hola Juli,” you say and he chuckles. “Dormiste bien?” he asks you. (Did you sleep well?) “Mhm, cuanto falta para llegar?” you ask him.(Mhm, how long until we arrive?)

“Hora y media,” he says. (An hour and a half) “Podemos cambiar si quieres,” you say and he waves you off. (We can switch if you want) “Estoy bien no te preocupes,” he replies. (I’m fine. Don’t worry)

Conversation falls easy between you and you talk about whatever is on your mind. Back in the city, you decide to spend the rest of the evening at his apartment watching movies. Your head is resting on his chest as he traces lazy patterns on your arms.

Since it’s starting to get dark the city lights get brighter and from the window, they look like little specks scattered all over.

Julián presses a soft kiss to the crown of your head and you look up at him. Winking, you kiss his jaw and he smiles at you. “I’m so glad we found each other again,” he says and you smile. “Me too, this time we should avoid losing each other,” you say with a small laugh.

Julián chuckles, “I’m not counting on losing you again, you’ll probably be stuck with me from now on.” “Juli, there’s no one else I would probably be stuck with, no one is like you,” you honestly reply. “And no one is like you, mariposa,” he replies. He kisses you softly and you snuggle closer to him, your eyes are still trained on the screen but you feel him reach for your hand and give it a light squeeze.

🌸Lily (OC) belong to @imoonblaze 🌸Welcome Home belong to _partycoffin_ 🌸Template belong to @fetusmeme

[ENGLISH] "Being the neighbor with a cheerful and calm personality but attentive to everything, with Lily you can count if you need someone to listen to you if you have had a bad day. Lily is a blind girl, so she is always accompanied by her friends in the neighborhood to be able to orient herself and she is attentive to everything that happens around her just by listening. However, for Lily her condition is not a limitation for her but something that is part of herself… or at least this in her own opinion."

From the little that is known about Lily, it was found that she was blind from birth, because in her previous home she was in the city, for reasons of her condition and her family's concern for her well-being, she decided that It was better to move to a quieter place away from the busy and overcrowded life of the city, a decision that was the best for her.

Lily has a strong friendship with Julie and Frank, being her with the cheerful and calm side of her, the middle part between them. When Lily wants to go for a walk around the neighborhood or spend time with them, Julie and Frank know and care so much for her that they often lend an arm or a hand to help her navigate.

So strong is her friendship that sometime after her arrival, they both give her a cane so that they can guide themselves on her own.

The things that she likes the most are the tranquility of her new life in the neighborhood, her friends, listening to the radio or the music on the record player, watering the flowers, going to swing outside her house and macaroni, the macarrony due to the texture they have when touched and the variety of smells they have.

[ESPANISH] " Siendo la vecina con una personalidad alegre y tranquila pero atenta a todo, con Lily puedes llegar a contar si necesitas de alguien que te escuche si has tenido un mal dia. Lily es una chica con ceguera, por lo que siempre suele estar acompañada de sus amigos en el vecindario para poderse orientar y es atenta ante todo lo que ocurre a su alrededor con solo oir. Sin embargo, para Lily su condicion no es una limitacion para ella sino algo que forma parte de si misma…o al menos esto en su propia opinion. "

De lo poco que se sabe de Lily, se llego a encontrar que ella era ciega de nacimiento, debido a que en su anterior hogar se encontraba en la ciudad, por cuestiones de su condicion y la preocupacion de su familia por su bienestar decidio que lo mejor era el mudarse a un lugar mas tranquilo lejos de la vida transitada y sobrepoblada de la ciudad, una decision que para ella fue la mejor.

Lily tiene una fuerte amistad con Julie y Frank, siendo ella con su lado alegre y tranquilo, la parte intermedia entre ambos. Cuando Lily quiere salir a caminar por el vencinadario o pasar tiempo con ellos, Julie y Frank estan al tanto y prepcupan tanto por ella que suelen prestarle un brazo o una mano para ayudarla a orientarse. volviendose asi en el duo que nunca falta de ver andando por el vecindario.

Tan fuerte es su amistad que en algun momento tiempo despues de su llegada, ambos le regalan un baston para poderse guiar por su cuenta.

Las cosas que mas le gusta y son la tranquilidad de su nueva vida en el vecindario, sus amigos, oir la radio o la musica del tocadiscos, regar las flores, ir a columpiarse en el columpio afuera de su casa y los macarrones, estos ultimos debido a la textura que tienen al tocarlos y por la variedad de olores que tienen.

Our theme for September is REFLECTION.

It was chosen by our Oklahoma City chapter in Oklahoma and illustrated by Aditi Heins.

Just like an echo is a reflection of sound… and how a camera lens focuses reflected light to form a photograph… our subconscious reflects on our experiences to form our beliefs.

Without reflection, there can be no personal growth. Learning from our past yields greater wisdom and happiness. But don’t let self-awareness turn into self-absorption. Take heed of the Greek myth of Narcissus, who fell in love with his own handsome reflection in a pool of water.

Reflecting on difficult moments can be painful but also healing. When our Oklahoma City chapter selected this theme, they mentioned a reflecting pool at the site of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that was designed to help people reflect on how they were changed by that tragic event.

Pondering the world around us and following our curiosity adds depth to our creative work. As William Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet, the purpose of acting is “to hold as 'twere the mirror up to nature.” While George Bernard Shaw said, “you use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.” (Although Bertolt Brecht countered, “Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.”)

Reflection turns our traumas and triumphs into lessons. It’s how we can create a vision for a brighter future.

Nuestro tema de septiembre es la REFLEXIÓN.

Fue elegido por nuestra filial de Oklahoma City (Oklahoma) e ilustrado por Aditi Heins.

Igual que el eco es el reflejo de un sonido... y que el lente de una cámara enfoca la luz reflejada para tomar una fotografía... nuestro subconsciente refleja nuestras experiencias para dar forma a nuestro pensamiento.

Sin reflexión, no puede haber crecimiento personal. Aprender de nuestro pasado aporta más sabiduría y felicidad. Pero no permitas que el autoconocimiento te lleve a encerrarte dentro de ti. Recuerda el mito griego de Narciso, que se enamoró de su propio reflejo en un estanque de agua.

Reflexionar sobre los momentos difíciles puede ser doloroso, pero también curativo. Cuando nuestra filial de Oklahoma City eligió este tema, mencionó un estanque reflectante situado en el lugar del atentado de 1995, diseñado para ayudar a la gente a reflexionar sobre cómo aquel trágico suceso cambió sus vidas.

Reflexionar sobre el mundo que nos rodea y seguir nuestra curiosidad añade intensidad a nuestro trabajo creativo. Como escribió William Shakespeare en Hamlet, el propósito de la actuación es "..ofrecer a la naturaleza un espejo en que vea la virtud su propia forma...". Mientras que George Bernard Shaw dijo: "Usas un espejo de cristal para ver tu cara; usas obras de arte para ver tu alma". (Aunque Bertolt Brecht rebatió: "El arte no es un espejo para reflejar la realidad, sino un martillo con el que darle forma").

La reflexión convierte nuestros traumas y triunfos en lecciones. Así es como podemos crear una visión para un futuro mejor.

La Rinconada, Perú

CASTELLANO

La Rinconada podría ser una ciudad turística linda, pero el capitalismo no se importa con eso. La Corporación Ananea S>A. transformó la ciudad en un infierno congelado. La gente va allá vivir a más de 5000 msnm, con 50% menos oxígeno que lo normal, temperatura media de 1°C (de noche -10°C) sin calefacción, aguas residuales congeladas en la calle, basura alrededor de la ciudad que no fue colectado por decenios, tomando agua del glaciar contaminada por mercurio, y en grande parte sin electricidad. ¿Por qué? Para trabajar en la mina de oro sin sueldo fijo (y la empresa no te da ninguna herramienta de trabajo o de seguridad): trabajás 20 días para la empresa y un o dos para vos.

PORTUGUÊS

La Rinconada poderia ser uma cidade turística linda, mas o capitalismo não se importa com isso. A Corporación Ananea S.A. transformou a cidade num inferno gelado. As pessoas vão pra lá morar a mais de 5000 m de altitude, com 50% menos oxigênio do que o normal, temperatura média de 1°C (de noite -10°C) sem aquecimento, esgoto congelado na rua, lixo ao redor da cidade que não foi coletado por décadas, tomando água da geleira contaminada por mercúrio, e em grande parte sem energia elétrica. Por quê? Para trabalhar na mina de ouro sem salário garantido (e a empresa não dá nenhuma ferramenta de trabalho ou de segurança): você trabalha 20 dias pra empresa, e 1 ou 2 dias pra si.

ESPERANTO

La Rinconada eble estus belega turisma urbo, sed kapitalismo ne zorgas pri tio. La Korporacio Ananea S.A. igas la urbon en frosta infero. Homoj iras tie vivi pli ol 5000 m alteco, 50% malpli da oksigeno ol kutimo, meza temperaturo 1°C (nokte -10°C) sen domvarmigado, frosta kloakaĵo strate, ruboj ĉirkaŭ la urbo, kiu ne kolektatas dum jardekoj, trinkante akvon el la glaĉero poluata de hidrargo, kaj plejmulte sen elektro. Kial? Por labori en la ora minejo sen fiksa salajro (la firmao ne donas al vi neniun laborilon aŭ sekurilon): vi laboras 20 tage por la firmao, kaj 1 aŭ 2 tage por vi.

ENGLISH

La Rinconada could be a beautiful touristic city, but capitalism doesn't care. La Corporación Ananea S.A. turned the city into a frozen hell. People go there to live over 5000 m above sea level, with 50% less oxygen than normal, average temperature is 1°C/32°F (-10°C/14°F at night) without heating, frozen sewage on the street, garbage around the city hasn't been collected in decades, drinking water from the glacier contaminated by mercury, mostly without electricity. Why? To work in the gold mine without a fixed salary (the company doesn't give you any work tools or safety equipment): you work 20 days for the company, and 1 or 2 days for yourself.

TOP 10 PELÍCULAS DE 2023

Quiero hacer un par de aclaraciones antes de empezar, para dejar las cosas bien claras

Sé que faltan muchas películas en este top. Ya sea por falta de tiempo, porque no han entrado o porque he decidido esperar a que se estrenen en España. Creo que si hubiese llegado a verlas hubiesen entrado en el top cosas como: Godzilla Minus One, Past Lives, Poor Things, The Holdovers, Anatomy of a Fall, Cuando Acecha la Maldad, The Zone of Interest, Occupied City o Aggro Drift.

Además, me veo con la obligación de recordar que esto es una lista. Es algo completamente subjetivo. Si no aparece alguna película es o porque no me ha gustado o porque no está entre las 10 primeras. Creo que se entiende, pero mejor dejarlo por escrito.

Y con esto ya puedo ponerme a celebrar lo que importa, el cine y las 10 pelis que vienen a continuación.

10. Cerrar Los Ojos (Victor Erice): No sé si Erice podrá hacer más películas después de esta, pero si no lo consigue me parece un buen punto final a su carrera. Un romántico empedernido que mira al pasado con tristeza lamentando que ya nada nunca volverá a ser lo mismo. Un amante del cine que se siente extraño. El mundo ya no es lo que era, la vida ha continuado y a muchos los ha devorado. Menos mal que el séptimo arte tiene las herramientas para rememorar y hacernos sentir lo que sentíamos entonces. Triste Le Roy.

Quizás no hay tiempo ya para los milagros, quizás lo mejor que podemos hacer es seguir haciendo lo que se nos da bien y disfrutar de los demás y de las cosas que nos gustan.

9. John Mulaney, Baby J (Alex Timbers): John Mulaney desnuda su alma ante nosotros y con un monólogo nos cuenta su momento más bajo. Es un relato crudo y descarnado, pero lo cuenta todo de una manera tan graciosa que se te pasa en un suspiro. Es una lección de medir bien el ritmo y saber lo que hay que decir en todo momento. Hay ciertos momentos en los que no puedes evitar llorar que se entrelazan con momentos en los que parar de reír es imposible. Mulaney encuentra el equilibrio perfecto y crea un monólogo para enmarcar y revisitar de vez en cuando.

8. Jackals and Fireflies (Charlie Kaufman y Eva H.D.): Kaufman consigue sacarse la cabeza del culo y mirar a su alrededor. Lo hace gracias al guion de Eva H.D, una poetisa que con su obra le obliga a mirar a los demás y descubrir un mundo lleno de conexiones y belleza. La tristeza y la melancolía siguen muy presentes, no os voy a engañar. Lo único es que ahora la historia va más allá del personaje principal. Por fin se ha dado cuenta de que vive en una sociedad con gente y que su experiencia vital se ve afectada por los demás.

Es una especie de libro de poesía visual que muestra a una mujer vagabundeando por Nueva York mientras reflexiona sobre la soledad, el amor y los instantes de comunión con los otros seres humanos.

A ver si Charlie aprende de la colaboración para futuros proyectos.

7. Guardians of The Galaxy 3 ( James Gunn): James Gunn aprovecha su última película en el MCU para darnos Ennies Lobby/Water 7 (el mejor arquito de One Piece) e irse por todo lo alto. No es la aventura más épica, es la banda ayudando a uno de sus integrantes cuando más lo necesita. Es la mejor peli que podía ser.

Cierra todas las tramas que tenía que cerrar y nos da el ejemplo paradigmático de lo que son los guardianes. Un grupo de desgraciados que se hacen mejores los unos a los otros y que pese a las reticencias iniciales no dudarían en patearse medio universo para ayudarte. El tropo de found family llevado hasta el extremo. Dog Days are over y me alegro mucho por ellos.

6. John Wick 4 (Chad Stahelski): La "despedida" (a falta de saber si habrá una quinta entrega) del mejor héroe de acción que nos ha dado el cine la última década. Más grande, más épica, más bonita, más sólida, más sublime.

John Wick hace un último tour de force para ganarse su ansiada libertad, aunque eso suponga perder lo que le queda de humanidad. De algún modo u otro todas sus decisiones lo han llevado a este momento.

La acción nunca ha estado mejor grabada que aquí, toda la película tiene un toque de cine crepuscular que me emociona, John ha dejado de ser una persona para convertirse en leyenda. Viva John Wick.

5.Oppenheimer (Christopher Nolan): Prometeo condenado a una eternidad de sufrimiento por intentar dar a la humanidad el fuego del progreso. Él creía que era por el bien común, pero lo que no sabía es que estaba abriendo la caja de pandora. Nunca habrá castigo más duro que el que él mismo se inflige día tras día tras día.

Que cada une juzgue si es o no suficiente.

4. Vampire humaniste cherche suicidaire consentant (Ariane Louis-Seize): Introvertido cinéfilo se identifica con vampira canadiense porque ambos tienen un miedo terrible a hacer daño a los demás y todavía no saben cuál es su sitio en el mundo.

Una coming of age muy maja que consigue que la gente introvertida y empática tenga un espejo en el que mirase. Me alegra que poco a poco podamos abrir las posibilidades a más tipos de protagonistas y nos alejemos del típico héroe que todo lo puede con el poder de la extroversión.

Se me hace raro poder verme reflejado y ver parte de mi proceso de ser en el mundo de una manera tan clara y pura. Sin prejuicios. Supongo que es porque gente como yo (con experiencias parecidas y contextos semejantes) está llegando a la edad de poder hacer estas cosas.

Con cada película que hace un esfuerzo activo por representar la introversión de una manera correcta y justa voy ganando herramientas para explicarme ante el mundo. Ver que voy teniendo más y más opciones me da serenidad.

Una película tan maja no debería tener tanta carga sobre sus hombros pero que logre hacerlo es algo que llena el pechito.

3. Renfield (Chris McKay): Terror, humor negro, una historia competente, Nicholas Cage, gore, ganas de pasárselo bien y un ritmo envidiable. Tiene toda la pasión y desparpajo de las películas de serie B pero con un buen presupuesto detrás. Además, aprovecha su tiempo para hablar de las relaciones tóxicas, los abusos de poder y la necesidad de huir de la gente terrible. Vaya gozo.

2. River (Junta Yamaguchi): Cuando ves muchas pelis empiezas a homogeneizarlo todo. Ves patrones, repeticiones, trampas, inspiraciones, lugares comunes... Empiezas a ver códigos, a predecir estructuras. No puedes evitarlo, eres humane al fin y al cabo. Estamos acostumbrades a buscar patrones, a familiarizarnos con lo desconocido.

Cuando ves muchas películas de ciencia ficción en especial, y de viajes en el tiempo en particular, no puedes evitar ver patrones y repeticiones por todos lados. Cada género tiene sus códigos y a veces son demasiado poderosos como para romperse. Pero a veces hay películas que logran escapar del bucle y tener una entidad muy propia.

Cuando ves muchos films y uno de tus objetivos es escribir historias no puedes evitar encontrar los patrones que se repiten, aquellos que siempre han funcionado y siempre funcionarán. A veces aparecen pelis que dentro de lo que conocemos aportan un toque de aire fresco al conjunto y no comprendes cómo alguien ha logrado hacer algo tan bueno. A veces aparecen historias/relatos/pelis/obras culturales que alimentan tus ganas de hacer historias/relatos/pelis/obras culturales.

Cuando ves películas de alto presupuesto que quieren recuperar la inversión, empiezas a ver patrones que aseguran su éxito. Una pizca de innovación pero sin pasarse, un mantenimiento de fórmulas que se sienten quemadas (más que por las historias que las usan, por la sobreexplotación de dichas fórmulas), un intento de conservar el estado de las cosas. Es entonces cuando tienes que mirar más allá y ver lo que se cocina en el mundo indie. Y es entonces cuando te das cuenta que hay luz entre tanto gris.

Cuando ves una película como River, eres capaz de ver el patrón pero te da igual. Está tan bien llevada y es todo tan redondo que lo hace todo mucho más fácil. De hecho, que se vea el patrón es lo que la hace tan buena. Sabes que hay bucles y que cada bucle va a ir dando más información a les personajes. Sabes que hay un juego con el plano secuencia (cada bucle está rodado de esta manera y entre bucle y bucle hay un corte) y lo que supone. Pero te lo comes a gusto. Porque está muy bien hecho.

Cuando ves River no puedes evitar pensar en Doctor Who. Con un presupuesto escueto y una idea loca, ambas obras consiguen hacer magia y ofrecer una experiencia de ciencia ficción deliciosa. Porque cuando hay pasión y cariño en lo que haces todo es posible. Hay mucho amor puesto y se nota en todos los campos.

El puntazo de tener un escenario más rural, la fuerza poética del río, lo bonita que queda la nieve, el juego con las estaciones, la estructura coral, el personaje protagonista, la banda sonora. Incluso los juegos temporales que son la base de la historia. Todo es increíblemente bonito, todo da gustito. Todo calienta el corazón. Y me da igual que sea una peli empalagosa y corny. Yo soy empalagoso. Me gusta cuando alguien deja salir sus emociones de manera natural aunque quede pasteloso. El mundo es pasteloso.

River es una película preciosa. Por muchos motivos. Por como logra ser una buenísima historia de ciencia ficción con poquísimo dinero, por como usa su forma fílmica para explicar mejor el contenido (la historia), por el amor que destila por el cine, porque consigue que quieras hacer pelis como esta. Y lo hace sin pretensiones.

1. Asteroid City (Wes Anderson)

"Augie Steenbeck: I still don't understand the play. Schubert Green: Doesn't matter. Just keep telling the story."

Anderson andersoneando por encima de sus posibilidades nos brinda su obra más pura. Un mundo plegado sobre si mismo en una estructura narrativa sobrecomplicada en la que lo único que importa son los personajes. Que el juego de humo y espejos no os engañe, Anderson aquí ha creado su mundo más bonito de todos. Apetece quedarse a vivir en Asteroid City y ver cómo van fluyendo sus personajes. Es un mundo inundado de una profunda tristeza pero donde todes intentan hacer la vida más fácil a los demás.

No dejan que sus cargas pesen a la hora de ir viviendo. Porque el dolor es algo que se lleva por dentro pero no fastidia las relaciones con otros. Son mucho más que su dolor.

Todavía no sé poner en palabras lo que me hace sentir esta película. ¿Es triste? ¿Es alegre? ¿Es una obra emocional? ¿Es una obra cerebral y metareflexiva? ¿Es un diorama en el que el goce viene de ver a los personajes haciendo cosas? ¿Es una obra donde los temas se imponen? No tengo respuestas. Es un poco de todo, y un poco de nada. Es como la vida misma. Es mi película favorita de 2023.

Feliz año.

The March of the Black Queen

Canción de Queen

ResumenLetras

¿Lo dices en serio?

Do you mean it?

¿Lo dices en serio?

Do you mean it?

¿Lo dices en serio?

Do you mean it?

¿Por qué no lo dices en serio?

Why don't you mean it?

¿Por qué te sigo y adónde vas?

Why do I follow you, and where do you go?

Nunca has visto nada igual, no, nunca en tu vida.

You've never seen nothing like it, no, never in your life

Como subir al cielo y luego volver con vida.

Like, going up to heaven and then coming back alive

Déjame contarte todo sobre esto (y el mundo lo permitirá)

Let me tell you all about it (and the world will so allow it)

Ooh, dale un poco de tiempo para elegir

Ooh, give a little time to choose

Bebés de agua cantando en una delicia de piscina de nenúfares

Water babies singing in a lily pool delight

Monos de polvo azul rezando en plena noche

Blue powder monkeys praying in the dead of night

Aquí viene la reina negra, hurgando en la pila.

Here comes the black queen, poking in the pile

Fie-fo la reina negra, marchando en fila india

Fie-fo the black queen, marching single file

Toma esto, toma aquello, bájalos al tamaño

Take this, take that, bring them down to size

(Marcha hacia la reina negra)

(March to the black queen)

Ponlos en el sótano con los chicos traviesos.

Put them in the cellar with the naughty boys

Un poco de lamer un azúcar y luego frotar un aceite de bebé.

A little lick a sugar then a rub-a-dub-a baby oil

Negro sobre, negro sobre, cada uña y dedo del pie

Black on, black on, every fingernail and toe

Sólo hemos comenzado, comenzado

We've only begun, begun

Haz esto, haz aquello, sigue haciendo todo ese ruido.

Make this, make that, keep making all that noise

(Marcha hacia la reina negra)

(March to the black queen)

Nunca te llenes la barriga

Never get a belly full

Tu puedes ser mi bebe de azúcar

You can be my sugar baby

Puedes ser mi cariño, sí.

You can be my honey child, yes

Una voz detrás de mí me recuerda

A voice from behind me reminds me

Extiende tus alas, eres un ángel.

Spread out your wings, you are an angel

Recuerda entregar a la velocidad de la luz.

Remember to deliver with the speed of light

Un poquito de amor y alegria

A little bit of love and joy

Todo lo que haces lleva una voluntad y un porqué y un porqué

Everything you do bears a will and a why and a wherefore

Un poquito de amor y alegria

A little bit of love and joy

En todas y cada una de las almas hay un hombre.

In each and every soul lies a man

Muy pronto engañará y descubrirá.

Very soon he'll deceive and discover

Pero incluso hasta el final de su vida, traerá un poco de amor.

But even to the end of his life, he'll bring a little love

Yo reino con mi mano izquierda, gobierno con mi derecha

I reign with my left hand, I rule with my right

Soy el señor de toda la oscuridad, soy la reina de la noche

I'm lord of all darkness, I'm queen of the night

yo tengo el poder

I've got the power

Ahora haz la marcha de la reina negra.

Now do the march of the black queen

Mi vida está en tus manos, lo haré y lo haré

My life is in your hands, I'll fo and I'll fie

Seré lo que tú me hagas, haré lo que te guste

I'll be what you make me, I'll do what you like

Seré un chico malo, seré tu chico malo

I'll be a bad boy, I'll be your bad boy

Haré la marcha de la reina negra

I'll do the march of the black queen

Caminar fiel al estilo

Walking true to style

Ella es vulgar, abusiva y vil.

She's vulgar, 'buse and vile

Fie-fo la reina negra se tatúa todos sus pasteles

Fie-fo the black queen tattoos all her pies

Ella hierve y hornea y nunca pone los puntos sobre las íes.

She boils and she bakes and she never dots her i's

ella es nuestra líder

She's our leader

Olvídate de tus cantos y canciones de cuna

Forget your sing-a-longs and your lullabies

Ríndete a la ciudad de las luciérnagas

Surrender to the city of the fireflies

Baila al diablo al ritmo de la banda.

Dance to the devil in beat with the band

Al diablo con todos ustedes, de la mano

To hell with all of you, hand-in-hand

Pero ahora es el momento de irse

But now it's time to be gone

¿La, la, la, la, para siempre?

La, la, la, la, forever?

Para siempre

Forever

MHRiders Sexuality Headcanons 3/4

Ashley : Dysphorasexual Demigirl (Central City : Laqua)

It may be because she is still young, but Ashley is literally afraid of the act. When someone talks about it, she immediately avoid and even change the subject. She is also a Demigirl, but she always does puns about it, so we don’t know what is really her “other half gender”.

Family : Unknown

Lovers : Adura and Frederica

Marianne : Heteroromantic Pansexual (City of Water : El Te Una)

Marianne has always shown romantic interest towards men, but not just “normal” men or heterosexual men ; she has romantic interests towards all types of men, no matter what their gender or sexual orientation may be. With her incredible beauty, she was even able to make an Aroace man somewhat fall for her.

Family : Unnamed Adoptive Children

Lover : Ransome

City of Forest : Fuuga (part 2)

Magatuki : Homoromantic Ceterosexual Polyamorous

Ever since he was young, Magatuki has always been attracted to men, or should we say, masculine people. He might be interested in men, but it’s mostly non binary masculine people, or those who doesn’t consider themselves as just men or such. Besides, Magatuki is also Polyamorous. He is highly protective, but also possessive towards the people he loves, to a point where he “claims” them. He even bites them hard enough in their neck to leave a mark ; that’s his way of showing everyone that they are his partners (in that case, his partners are Isai and Asagi).

Family : Unnames Parents

Shino {Younger Sister}

Lovers : Isai and Asagi

Isai : Transgender Gay

Isabelle was born from a wealthy family, though the poor heiress never get to live with her wealth, nor with her parents even. Her father died before she was born, trying to protect both his wife and the unborn child, and her mother died shortly after giving birth to her. Despite being only 10 (almost 11) by the time Isabelle was born, Cayenne took good care of her, and even acted like a big brother to her, at first. Surviving monsters attacks one after another, they were all alone ; the others didn’t make it. Isabelle wasn’t even 3 years old yet when she was left alone in the wild with Cayenne after everything around them was burned to ashes or completely wrecked. Despite not being the age to be her father, Cayenne still acted like a father figure to her. When she was a teen, Isabelle didn’t considered herself as a girl anymore. Cayenne was the reason she was cheered up to do her transitioning from female to male (as he was Hermaphrodite). Isabelle, now Isai (the name came from her nickname as a girl, Isa, where they add an “i” instead of the more common name “Isaac”). I guess we also know where the “putting make-up” idea came from too.

Family : Cayenne {Adoptive Brother ; almost like a Father Figure to him}

Lover : Asagi

“Master” : Magatuki

Asagi : Abroromantic Genderfluid

Asagi was always conflicted about his feelings, sexual orientation and gender, to a point where he didn’t know what he was anymore. When he started to work for Isai and became his Supervisor, everythig was now clear to him. Since Isai himself was Transgender, he explained to his Subordinate that the reason he could be conflicted about all of this, might be because sometimes he considers himself as one gender and sexuality, but one day he may be consider himself as another gender and another sexual orientation. With all of this, he will finally feel at ease about everything, since he is a “fluid” person.

Family : Unknown

Lover : Isai

“Master” : Magatuki

City of Sand : Maha Elg

Valvole : Demiboy

Valvole is pretty much like the other “Demigender” or multiple gender characters (Ariyon, Katerina, Darius, Leoness, Shino, Kugo and maybe Ashley), Valvole claims himself to be a man, but also another gender, but he stays silent about it. Valvole is already a fairly mysterious man, so hiding it makes him even more mysterious, at least that’s what some people say. His stern and serious personality is in conflict with Graf, but despite all of that, they’re not ennemies like people think, they are actually lovers.

Family : Unknown

Lover : Graf

Palfe : Demiromantic Pansexual

To make it short, in terms of personality (and maybe sexuality), Palfe is like a combination of Marc’s children : Hilda and Mary. She is very friendly but it’s still a bit hard for her to create a real romantic bond with someone, but she still can be close to everyone regardless of their gender and sexual orientation. It’s probably because of those similarities that she ended up with Mary.

Family : Unknown

Lover : Mary

Vanessa : Lesbian

Vanessa always thought guys were “lame” and she is completely for the “Girl Power” stuff and all... She was in deep love with her pal Lyra, with whom she even have drinking contests with. Knowing she was Polyamorous, Vanessa always thought she had a chance to be with her no matter what. But her “dream” of being with her “crushed” when she realized she was in love with Cayenne, the deputy chief of Fuuga. Lyra will explain her story to her on how they met before and he saved her life. She thought it was destiny that they meet again. Vanessa was hoping that she will make her come to Maha Elg to live with her, but after learning that story, she knew it was a lost cause as she will now live in Fuuga. Thankfully for her, she will find this love she has lost in another woman, one that turns out to be Lyra’s rival. And it’s also thanks to her that she will be reunited with Lyra, and getting to know Cayenne, making her change her mind a bit about men ; she now thinks that “maybe not all of them are lame”.

Family : Adura {Adopted Daughter}

Crush : Lyra

Lover : Sumika

Adura : Homoflexible Gender Neutral

Adura is a young adult that may be too wild for some people. As a kid, she used to live in the woods, guarded by a Brute Tigrex who took care of her. In that “wild” life of hers, she never ever considered herself as a girl despite being born as one. She was always neutral about that, probably because she didn’t know anything about it since she wasn’t “civilized”. That was her life until she was taken care of by Vanessa. She kinda started to follow Vanessa in terms of sexuality, meaning she would only find interest in girls. But learning about the world she didn’t know about, she may think she could possibly fall in love with men since she barely knows anything about them and she became quite curious, but she never said that to Vanessa of course. But she also found women to share her wild and learning life with her.

Family : Unnamed Brute Tigrex {Guardian, now Monstie}

Vanessa {Adopted Mother}

Lovers : Frederica and Ashley

Linker : Heteroromantic Bisexual

Linker may be Bisexual, but she was always interested in men way more than women, thus meaning that she had a male lean. She almost never feel love towards the same gender as herself, to a point where she even thought that she was just Heterosexual. She thought of that again and again until she was proven wrong. She found a woman and she felt her heart beating faster when seeing her, it was stronger than anyone she knew, any man she ever fell in love with. Despite having a male lean, she couldn’t deny that she instantly fell in love for Leoness, making her realizing that despite having more attraction towards men, she was still Bisexual as there was a slight crush towards women still pounding deep inside her chest. Leoness makes this feeling and love comes out of Linker’s chest.

Family : Unknown

Lover : Leoness

Tabaco y Brea

Part two

Pairing: Javier Peña x DEA! reader

Rating: M, eventually. Now? PG-13

Words: 3.5k

A/N: well, the first part didn't get many notes but I really love this story. If a single person reads it and likes it, then it's enough for me :)

Warnings: shouting, fighting, swearing, is eating a warning?,jealousy.

Taglist: @dynphomaniac

Part one here

The days passed faster than you would have liked. With so much paperwork added for the Cali mission, you stayed late almost every day. Javi, in an unexpected change of events, stayed with you. He didn't do shit, of course, but his company was comforting. He would softly hum songs sometimes, or get out a book and read it out loud to you.

The night before, he had been singing the Rocky soundtrack for most of it, turning to Led Zeppelin when he finished. You still remember how after you heard on the radio that John Bonham had been found dead in September 1980, he had left the office for a second and stayed in complete silence outside.

And then again in December, when they announced they were going to split. You never mentioned it, and you knew he wouldn't admit it even with a gun pointed at his head, but you were sure you had seen a tear run down his cheek. He was a huge fan, apparently.

Tonight, he was reading Cien Años de Soledad (One Hundred Years of Solitude), by Gabriel García Márquez. You loved that author, but you weren't sure if you had ever mentioned it to him. Maybe he knew you enough to figure it out without the need of hearing it straight from your mouth.

"José Arcadio Buendía, que era el hombre más emprendedor que se vería jamás en la aldea, había dispuesto de tal modo la posición de las casas, que desde todas podía llegarse al río y abastecerse de agua con igual esfuerzo, y trazó las calles con tan buen sentido que ninguna casa recibía más sol que otra a la hora del calor." (José Arcadio Buendía, who was the most enterprising man ever to be seen in the village, had set up the placement of the houses in such a way that from all of them one could reach the river and draw water with the same effort, and he had lined up the streets with such good sense that no house got more sun than another during the hot time of day. )

His voice was very soothing to you, even more when he was speaking Spanish. You didn't know if he had noticed, but it got more raspy and deep when he changed languages. It reminded you of the summers spent in México with your father, when he would tell you stories about his childhood in México City or the trips he would do to Nuevo Laredo with your grandma.

He stopped reading for a second and you looked up to see why was that just to find him already staring at you.

"What's wrong?" you asked, not wanting to tell him you were enjoying his reading.

"Do you like this book?"

You nodded, a slight blush spreading in your cheeks. You tended not to give him compliments, his ego was big enough as it was without you contributing, but you figured this one wouldn't hurt.

"He's one of my favorite authors."

He smiled. "I figured"

"You brought that one because you thought I'd like it?"

It was just teasing, of course. You didn't think he'd do such a gesture for you, and the idea of him knowing you so well scared you a little bit.

He ignored you and kept going. " En pocos años, Macondo fue una aldea más ordenada y laboriosa que cualquiera de las conocidas hasta entonces por sus 300 habitantes. Era en verdad una aldea feliz, donde nadie era mayor de treinta años y donde nadie había muerto." ( Within a few years Macondo was a village that was more orderly and hard working than any known until then by its three hundred inhabitants. It was a truly happy village where no one was over thirty years of age and where no one had died.)

You stopped working for a moment, listening to the words he was saying instead.

Did he know how sexy his voice was? How good he sounded? He was one of the smartest people you knew, and you had been to enough places and met enough people to say that with confidence. His mind was sharp, could run 10 miles per minute if the situation required it.

He noticed you were staring and stopped again. His frown got more pronounced, looking at you intrigued.

"What are you looking at?" his tone was defensive. He didn't like it when you stared at him too long, it felt like you could see straight through him, and there were some things he didn't want you to know.

You shook your head and laughed. "You look tired"

With a shrug, he returned his eyes to the book, but you stretched your arm to stop him.

"Now what?"

You took the book from his hands and placed a clean sheet of paper from your desk between the pages he had been reading and closed it. With a soft sound, you let it fall on top of the table.

"It's getting late, we should go"

He straightened, surprised. Usually, he was the one to prey you away from all the paperwork. If he didn't stay with you, he would probably find you there still working the next morning.

"You are telling me we should leave?"

You nodded.

"Quick, before I change my mind."

At that, he stood up like a spring and started collecting his things. You chuckled as you saved the files on the drawer and put your jacket on.

"Let's go"

Two days later, he approached you without no greeting and in a very bad mood.

"The gringo's here"

What a great way to start the morning, you thought.

"Weren't we supposed to pick him up or something?"

Javi shook his head. He seemed frustrated, but you didn't know if it was about the arrival of your new partner or something else. With Javi, you could never guess.

His shoulders were tense, the beige suit he was wearing along with the striped tie and his yellow aviators made him look older and more serious. Had he dressed up to meet the new guy? Really?

"I'm gonna meet him outside at the Embassy's parking lot, wait here"

You nodded and kept filling the paperwork for the Cali raid as he left. You were going to take the new guy with you. You couldn't just dump him, he wasn't brought here to sit around and watch from the sidelines.

You just hoped he did his work.

A few minutes passed when you heard a pair of footsteps walking through the corridor.

"We're going to Medellín?"

That definitely wasn't Javi.

You stood up, turning around to the voice at your back.

You had to suppress a laugh once you took a glance at them.

Their suits were almost the same color, Javi's just a shade darker. Steve Murphy was wearing a light blue shirt along with a navy blue tie, had a mustache similar to Javi's too (but it made him look weird, if you were honest). His hair was dark blonde, combed to one side, and his face gave away a little nervousness. He was also taller than Javi, meaning you had to crank your neck up to meet his eyes.

"Murphy this is Bera. Bera, Murphy." Javi pointed at you as Steve shook your hand. His hold was strong, and he squeezed with enough force to be firm but not enough to hurt you. That came appreciated, every single man who met you always treated you as if you were made of porcelain.

You glared at Javi and told Steve your real name, then clarified, "But everyone calls me Bera"

"Bera?" he asked. You smiled in return.

"Long story, you'll get to know it later"

He smiled too, and they left for the ambassador's office.

As it was everyone's knowledge at the Embassy, she didn't like Javi very much, so you dealt with it when you had to ask her for something. She had a soft spot for you, you guessed it was because she knew how hard it was to be a woman in this line of work. Maybe she didn't like him because of his methods of getting info, you weren't sure.

Once they got out, Javi stood up behind his desk and started moving the few papers he had there. You wondered how he managed to have such a mess considering he only read intel, made calls and left you with everything else.

"Ahora qué se te perdió Peña?" (What did you loose now Peña?)

He glared at you and kept moving his papers. His actions were getting desperate, frustration from before about who knows what affecting him.

Murphy was looking back and forth between the two of you, standing awkwardly between your desks. You didn't know if he had understood what you said, but judging by his face, you guessed he hadn't.

"Recuerdas la informante de la que te hablé?" (Remember the informant I told you about?"

You rolled your eyes. Of course you remembered, he had been seeing her frequently over the past few weeks. He wasn't one to be constant about his hookups, but apparently, she was good enough to keep a streak with him. He hadn't seen her since you had been staying late, but last night you had left early and he went straight to search for her. You didn't have to be a genius to guess what had happened when he found her.

"Helena Sotomayor?" you asked, venom filling your voice. You didn't have anything against her or what she did, but jealousy wasn't something you could avoid easily, especially if you knew how Javier felt about her.

"Si" his voice got deeper as he got angrier, "habrá una reunión de narcos en Medellín, y se irá a la fiesta que harán después"

(Yes, there's gonna be a reunion of narcos in Medellín, and she's leaving for the party they're hosting after)

"And what? You can't get another girl for the night?" you snarled, your tone hard and resentful. Steve looked at you with his eyes wide open, subconsciously getting closer to Javi.

"It's not about that!" Javier raised his arms exasperated, "you don't seem to understand. There's gonna be a meeting with different leaders of cartels, and they're surely planning something"

You scoffed, "yeah idiot, I get that! What I mean is what the hell are you searching for that has to do with her?"

Suddenly his back straightened, and you knew you weren't going to like what he was gonna say next.

"I need to fill a visa request for her"

You felt how your face got red and warmth spread through your body, filling it with jealousy and anger. Your eyes crossed with his and suddenly it had turned into yet another one of your fights. So that's what was bothering him.

Steve looked at Javi, alarmed.

"Is your informant really a prostitute?"

Javi didn't even look at him, "Everybody works for somebody"

You abruptly stood up and took your jacket off of your chair's back, walking fast towards the exit.

"A dónde carajos vas?" (where the fuck are you going?) he screamed, fisting his hands at his sides.

You turned around and showed him the finger.

"It's none of your fucking business!"

Javier and Steve stood there as you left, stunned. Your heels making a clicking sound that resonated in the office. Javier was used to your fighting and your screaming, it was part of your dynamic, but he didn't understand why you had reacted so bad this time. Sure, he knew you weren't fond of his way of finding intel, but you never really did more than glare or tease. This was new.

"Is it always like this with you two?" Steve asked. Javi moved his head from side to side, crinkling his eyes.

"A little less explosive, but yes"

Steve let out a sigh. This was going to be some long couple of months (or years?) for him, he just knew it.

As you walked, your eyes started to fill with tears, but you didn't know if it was out of rage or hurt. You were not one to cry, so you wiped them before they fell and rounded the corner to the right towards the diner you usually ate at.

Once you crossed the street and rounded another corner to the left, in the middle of the street was a big sign that spelled Salomé in cursive. You got inside and sat down at the table from the corner, taking out the money of your jacket's pocket. Catalina (or Cata), the cute old lady that managed it, smiled at you from the counter and walked towards you. You smiled back, doing your best to conceal your feelings.

"Qué hace mi niña preciosa aqui?" (what is my precious girl doing here?) . Her voice was soft, filled with affection. His tone was motherly and you knew she had noticed something was wrong.

You smiled sadly at her. "Solo tengo hambre"( I'm just hungry )

Cata immediately sat down in the chair across you and took your hands between hers. She heard something off in your voice, and she didn't like it one bit.

"Ahora qué hizo ese chamaco malcriado?" (What did that spoiled brat do now?) Her tone changed to playful but angry in a matter of seconds, her frown accentuated even more than it already was by her age.

You shook your head, laughing. Cata was also very fond of Javi, but she knew how much of an idiot he could be. Surprisingly, you had met her before he had, one time you were hungry and the food at the Embassy didn't sound very appealing to your ears or stomach.

"Nada Catita, ya sabes cómo es" (Nothing Catita, you know how he is). You tried to smile and she cupped your head between her hands, caressing your face with his thumb. You put your hand above hers and gave it a soft squeeze.

"Qué quiere comer mi niña?" (What do you want to eat my girl?)

A grin spread across your cheeks. "Ajiaco con pollo, porfa." (Ajiaco with chicken, please. it's a typical food in Colombia, commonly found in Bogotá. It consists of shredded chicken, pastusa, sabanera and/or creole potato, corn and maybe cream milk)

She nodded and stood up, sadness forgotten for a moment.

"Con aguacate y arroz aparte?" (with avocado and rice aside?)

You nodded eagerly. "Sabes que si" (you know it)

The curtains hiding the kitchen opened to her as she walked inside to cook your food. Your heart warmed and clenched a little at how much love she showed you every time you came here, how she genuinely cared for you.

The tablecloth was made of white lace, and you passed your fingers through the surface. It felt gritty to the touch, but its beauty completely overshadowed it. Cata had gifted you one to take home once, and it was now decorating your little table at the living room in the apartment.

The noises of Bogotá surrounded you. It was easy to hear children playing and their mothers screaming at them; people selling fruits, clothes, arguing and laughing. People doing their best to keep living, even with the crisis they were dealing with, the number of narcos that were raising and how much hell they were surely about to unleash in this beautiful country.

It was your job to stop them, to do your best at helping these people get their normal lives back.

The sound of Cata approaching took you out of your thoughts.

"Aquí está mi dulce niña, justo como le gusta" (here it is my sweet girl, just how you like it)

You took the plate of food and tilted your head, thankful. "Gracias Cata" (thank you Cata)

You quickly set your spoon to the food and as you took the first bite, everything you were worried about banished for a second. Javier, the DEA, Escobar, Steve, everything flew out the window.

That's why you had come, because everything could be forgotten for a moment if you choose the right dish to stuff your mouth with.

Cata laughed at your eagerness, patting your shoulder with her soft hand. "Tranquilícese muñequita, que la comida no se le va a ir" (Calm down little doll, the food is not going to get away)

With your mouth full you could only nod, giving her an apologetic smile. She shook her head, eyes soft as they looked at you.

The rest of your meal was spent in silence, his presence comforting to your aching heart. She knew when to speak and when to stay silent, you always talked when you wanted to and it was pointless to try and make you.

Once you finished, you took a napkin and cleaned your mouth, handing her much more money than the food cost. She immediately gave it back to you, shaking her head.

"no no mi niña, llévese eso." (no no my girl, take that away)

Standing up, you took her hand and placed the money in her palm.

"Yo no lo necesito Catita" (I don't need it Catita) With a kiss to the top of her head, you swiftly got out of there, her sigh reaching your ears as you walked back to the Embassy.

You felt much lighter, the pain in your chest gone and your muscles relaxed. You entered the building and walked down the stairs to the basement, heading straight to your desk. Javi was sitting at his, filling what you guessed was the visa request for Helena. You didn't give it importance, sitting down at your chair and stripping off your jacket. The office was getting hot again, so you tied your hair up in a ponytail and started working as if nothing had happened.

Steve gives you a funny look from his seat between your desks. He won't have his own for at least a week, so either you let him use part of yours or Javier will.

You pray he's an organized person and wave at him.

"Come on Miami, get over here"

He sits straight and gives you a visual similar to a puppy being called, then stands up to pull his chair to sit across you. His desk will probably be on the opposite wall of yours anyway, may as well get used to his face.

"Do you need help with anything?"

His words sound like heaven in your ears, and you're sure your eyes even sparkle a little bit. Finally, someone is going to help you.

"Could you help me fill these formats, please? I'm sure you know how to"

He laughs a little and takes the bunch of documents you're handing him, nodding. He never liked doing paperwork either but didn't hate it as much as Peña seemed to do. He can't help but think that leaving you with everything is too much of a dick move and decides to help you as much as he can from now on.

Both of you start to work without another word, the air feeling a little tense now that Steve feels like less of a stranger at the office. He can't do much about the rigidness between the two of you, though.

Javier raises his head from the request he's filling out and a pang on his chest makes itself present once he gets a good look at the scene in front of him.

In all the time he's known you, he has never seen you so relaxed while working. Your cheeks are flushed from the heat that's enveloping the entire place, strands of hair falling to your face as you're bent over whatever document you're working on. Your shoulders are less tense than he's seen in weeks, and he can even see a faint smile forming at your lips. Steve is reading through the papers you gave him, his posture loose and easy.

With new people, you're usually slow to warm up to, you hate anyone who isn't him getting close at your workplace, and even then you're hesitant. Despite this, you seem to be getting used to Murphy pretty quickly, and the thought creates a knot right at the center of his stomach.

He shakes the thought out of his head and keeps working on the visa request, but he can't shake the warm, burning feeling that has spread all over his body.

The day goes quickly, with Murphy helping you with everything you ask for and things getting easier between you two. With every laugh and joke the two of you exchange, Javier feels his body get hotter and hotter, but refuses to acknowledge it.

Soon it's time to leave and for the first time in weeks, you don't need to stay late.

"Vamonos compañera" (let's go partner) Javier says, but his words come out hard and tense.

It only gets worse when you shake your head as you stand up.

"Hoy no Javier, tomaré el colectivo" (not today Javier, I'm taking the bus)

He grits his teeth and fists his hands at his sides but otherwise nods. He takes his jacket off the rack and rounds his desk, waiting for you and Steve to walk in front of him.

As the three of you get out of the building,the sun has barely set and it's a good change from the pitch black night you had gotten used to. You bid each other goodbye and he silently watches how you walk alongside Murphy through the alley with a clenching heart and a hot face, jumping into his Jeep and closing the door with much more force than necessary.

"pinche gringo" (fucking gringo) he mutters as he drives away.

3. Love Can Kill

“It’s hard for me to say what needs to be said; consequence of loving me can be cruel. You’re gonna suffer now whatever you do. Too much love can kill, get swallowed by the wave, no matter how you feel”

There was nothing better than celebrating a good week of work than a glass of wine, sushi and a horror movie. Strange combination but it was my favorite. It was my night off at work and I had wanted to make that plan for a long time but I could not for obvious reasons. When I wasn’t working, I was taking care of the apartment or training in the gym.

I had been living in Vegas for a month and hardly knew the city and the places I knew were because of work. I didn’t have much of a social life but that hadn’t stopped me from going places alone. Sometimes I almost preferred it, even though there were other times when I preferred company.

I sat on the couch, covered myself with a blanket and hit the play. As soon as I did it, like Murphy’s Law, the phone rang. My intention was to ignore the call, ¿but who was going to call me at this time? Let me answer that; my supervisor.

-¿Grissom? –I answered the call.

-¡Laura! ¿Are you at home?

-Yeah, I am.. ¿Why?

-Look I know that it’s your night off and your contract says that you can’t work more than 40 hours a week but we really need some help here, I was wondering if you could..

-I’ll be there –I cut him off before he could finish the question- Just text me the address.

I jumped off the couch, left the sushi in the fridge and got dressed to head to the crime scene. It was the sixth night in a row I’d be working but I needed the real CSI experience; working a lot of hours and pulling double shifts.

***

I parked the car next to the police tape and when I crossed it, I saw Grissom waiting for me at the entrance of the mansion. As I walked towards him, I observed the atmosphere of a high class party. Expensive dresses and expensive suits and among them, Jim Brass stood out, questioning some attendees. We nod and then I got to Grissom.

-¡Hey! ¡Thanks for coming! –he greeted- This house belongs to Portia Richmond, a legendary showgirl back in the day.

-¿Is she the victim? –I asked.

-No, it’s an unidentified woman. She was found in the pool –he explained- This is a big house so divide and conquer. Nick is doing the sketch of the house, you’ll be in the pool with Catherine and Warrick.

It wasn’t hard for me to find the pool as it was as big as the garden. Catherine was looking for evidence in the grass and Warrick was swimming in the pool. I couldn’t help but laugh at him. It was my way of saying Hello.

-¡Marco! –I screamed.

-Polo –Warrick answered sticking his head out from under water.

-I thought you weren’t working tonight –Catherine she said as she approached.

-I wasn’t, actually I had plans but Grissom said you have a lot of work so I don’t mind –I answered as I put on some gloves, then I saw Warrick getting out of the pool with something in his hand- ¿Can I get you a towel, sir?

-Yeah, please –he smiled- I found a cufflink, initials CM.

-Turquoise and silver.. –Catherine said looking at it- Something out of the south west maybe; Arizona, New Mexico, Texas..

-I’ll check the guest list for CMs –I assured.

-I’m gonna be wet all night.. –Catherine and I laughed and because of that he splashed us with water.

After examining the garden and pool, Catherine as Grissom’s right hand, assigned Warrick to another case that had happened that night. He wasn’t happy about the change but since Sara was at a forensics convention, one of them had to be on the new case.

-Jim, ¿what do we know about Portia Richmond? –Gil asked.

-According to her friends, she’s been romancing for over a month and she’s cruising the Mediterranean in some yacht –Brass explained as we walked into the main hall- Got a couple watching the house.

The couple Brass was talking about was sitting on the central sofa in the living room. They were both elegantly dressed and you could say they were good looking.

-Mr, Mrs. Haynes, this is Gil Grissom, Catherine Willows and Laura Serrano, from the Crime Lab –Brass introduced us- ¿Do you mind if we ask a few more questions?

-By all means –Mr. Haynes spoke.

-¿How is it that you know Portia Richmond?

-We met her at the top of the Mediterranean –she answered- It was like we’ve known Portia all our lives.

-We were new in town, Portia introduced us around and took us under her wing –he continued- We are house sitting while hunting for our place. Portia refused to take any money from us.

-That’s why when she took out to Europe we offered to host this charity event.

-¿Did you know the deceased woman? –Grissom asked.

-No, as far as I know, she wasn’t even on the guest list –he answered for both-¿Something wrong?

-Yes.. –Grissom nodded- A woman is dead.

***

When I entered the morgue, Doctor Robbins was in a corner with his back turned to me and a strange noise was coming out of that area. I looked at him puzzled not knowing what was happening until he turned with two cups of coffee. He offered me one.

-Don’t tell anybody –he said- My weakness; One Macchiato Tall.

-¡Thanks! ¡I really need coffee!

-I know –I looked at him surprised- Everyone is talking about your first time working so many days in a row.

-Glad to be news –I mumbled- Coffee machine courtesy of the city, I presume.

-When the coroner asks for something they don’t question it –I nodded and followed him to the autopsy table- We are still working on the ID, but she’s had a few upgrades; rhinoplasty, silicone breasts..

-The implants have a number, if we run it I think we can get an ID –he smiled, like he was testing me- Wait a second, you already knew that.

-I wanted to know if you did, very well –he continued- We have a full menu here; petechial hemorrhaging, bruising around the neck and no water in the lungs. Now, ¿what’s the cause of death?

-No water in the lungs indicates that she was dead when she hit the water and from the bruising around the neck I’d say she was strangled –Doc nodded agreeing- So, in this case we have to photograph her injuries and run a sex assault kit.. strangulation is a man’s crime.

-Already did that, but very good –I was going to leave, but before I did, he took the mug out of my hands and looked at me- This is our little secret.

***

When the rest of the team returned to the lab, Grissom told me to team up with Nick. He and Catherine were going to keep track of some music boxes they had found in Portia’s house. The task that my partner and I had to do was analyze the DNA from the sex assault kit and the DNA from a red nail that we had found in the garden a few hours ago. To do the task, we had to bring the evidence to Greg, because he was the DNA expert. Along the way, I yawned twice and Nick laughed at me both times.

-¡Hey! ¡You don’t get to laugh! –I said to him- I’m tired.

-¿You? ¿Tired? ¡I thought you never sleep! –I yawned again and he smiled- ¡Nice!

We were walking into the lab when Greg hit the radio on the play and a heavy metal song started playing. He was spinning on his chair in a happy mood. I leaned on the table and watched him as the two of them greeted each other.

-You’re awake –I said- I hate you.

-Couple of glasses of Merlot.. slept like a baby –he answered with a smile.

-Just so you know, you weren’t the only one who had a glass of wine –I remembered.

-That sounds like Grissom ruined your date –Nick mumbled.

-I would need a man for a date, which I don’t have –I faked smile- Check for DNA in the sexual assault kit and the fingernail please.

-Everything has to be in CODIS, as soon as possible –Nick added.

-¿Do you know who is going to authorize my overtime? –Greg said while taking the evidence.

-Suck it up, Greg. You’re well rested.

-¿Do you want a Valium for her? –Greg asked looking at Nick.

-¡I’ve heard that! –I said as I was walking away.

I got to the break room and sat on the first chair I found. I wasn’t regretting agreeing to work, but I couldn’t understand how the team kept up, I assumed that it was thanks to caffeine and habit. I noticed a hand placing gently on my shoulder, so I looked up and saw my partner looking at me in a worried way.

-Hang in there, this only happens the first day –he tried to cheer me up- I’m going to make coffee for both of us, ¿okay?

-I’ve had so much coffee that I think there’s some blood running through my caffeine system, but I really could use one –I joked- Thanks, Nick.

As I watched Nick making coffee with the machine, I realized how kind and attentive he was. Luckily, my colleagues were friendly and good people and I was sure that anyone could have taken the time and concern about my first week of work in a row but he stood out in some way. Maybe it was his Texas charm or the fact that I was starting to like him. Either way, there was no denying that he was one of a kind.

While the coffee was brewing, I took the opportunity to look at the messages that I couldn’t see before. My best friend from Spain, Sanja, sent me a voice note, which surprised me quite a bit since she rarely sends voice messages.

¡Hola Laura! ¡Espero que estés disfrutando y aprendiendo mucho en Las Vegas! Aquí te echamos mucho de menos y se nota tu ausencia.. Cuando nos volvamos a ver, tendrás que prepararte tus chistes malos. Te envío este mensaje para decirte que ya tenemos fecha para la boda y será el 22 de Mayo. Sabemos que ya estarás por aquí para esta fecha, además me haría mucha ilusión que fueses mi dama de honor, así que espero tener una respuesta pronto. ¡Besos!

I replied to her message with a silly smile on my face. Having news from her made me happy and had even woke me up a bit. Nick offered me the cup of coffee and I thanked him with a smile.

-¿Who’s getting married? –he asked as he sat down in front of me.

-¿You know Spanish? –if my friend’s message hadn’t woke me up, Nick’s question had.

-Oh yeah –he nodded proudly- I’m fluent, actually.

-You’re kidding.

-No te engaño –he said with an American accent, but he said it right- What can I say, I have many hidden talents.

-I hope to discover them someday –I smiled and left my phone on the table- A couple of days before coming to Vegas, it was my birthday and we had this celebration / farewell party. My male best friend took the opportunity to propose to my female best friend.

-You must be excited for the wedding then, since they are so close to you.

-They are –I nodded with a nostalgic smile- They are my family.

-¿How are you adapting? ¿You’ve been here a month, haven’t you? ¿You like the city so far? I guess you’ve walked down The Strip, ridden the rollercoaster, you’ve seen the Bellagio fountains..

-Actually, I’ve only been to the Welcome Sign –I admitted with my head down.

-¡No way! We are going to fix that, señorita –he said with a sexy accent and looked at me- I’ll make you a list of things to do in Vegas and if you don’t want to do them alone, you can tell anyone on the team.

-Nick, it’s really not necessary..

-No, yes it is –he nodded convinced- But I have to warn you, I have guiding fees and I will charge you.

We both started laughing at Nick’s comment and for the first time in hours, I felt like I was totally present at the time. Greg opened the door behind me and entered the room all excited.

-You guys are never gonna believe this; sexual assault kit on the victim came back positive for semen BUT nothing.. ran it through CODIS and seminal DNA matches a cold case from Texas, ¡a dead cheerleader! ¡ten years ago!

***

The track of the music boxes leaded Catherine and Grissom to Portia’s mansion once again. From what they told us, they had caught the housekeeper couple having sex, but the most important finding was what they found in the fireplace; a tooth. The idea was to compare it to Portia Richmond, since the disappearance was strange, but there were no references, so Catherine and Brass went to the Liberace Museum, where they had on display the headdress that Portia wore when she was a showgirl and brought it to Greg.

My partner went to reception to receive the package containing the file case from Texas, while I stayed looking for Patrick and Amanda’s social security numbers. We needed a little background on the couple. I had been searching for 30 minutes when I heard music coming out of the DNA Lab, so I got up from my chair and walked over. Greg came out of the lab kicking in the air and moving his hips, like he was dancing, while wearing Portia’s headdress on his head.

I leaned against the wall and covered my mouth so he wouldn’t see me laugh, even though I couldn’t help it. I wondered if Greg did that kind of silly things because he was like that or to make other people laugh. Either way, he finished the song looking at me with his arms outstretched and his mouth open with a smile. I approached him and applauded.

-I think you should take that thing off Greg, it’s evidence –I said with a smile- But I’m going to admit that the dance was very sensual.

-I already got all the evidence out of it.

Suddenly, Grissom turned the corner and appeared behind Greg. He stood up and looked at him as if he did not believe what he was seeing. Grissom took off his glasses and I could swear he was analyzing him. I cleared my throat to let Greg know and then I laughed again.

-I compared the DNA from the tooth with the hair follicles found inside the headdress, we have a match and I think we have a homicide. Excuse me –he nodded and walked again into the lab like nothing happened.

After the show was over, I went back to the computer and kept looking. A few minutes later, Nick showed up with the case file. I finally found the social security number, but apparently Patrick Haynes was an 8-month-old baby who died 10 years ago. And Nick found that the suspect in the dead cheerleader’s case was called Chad Matthews. The initials C.M.

***

After that discovery, the next thing we had to do was find out who this Chad Matthews was and where Portia Richmond really was. If she really was in the Mediterranean her bank statements would confirm it. Brass pulled out the bank statements for us to check them and also all the information about this guy. Apparently, Austin Police Department had 5 aliases for Chad Matthews and Denver Police Department sent him copies of his journal; guy kept lists of rick woman all over the country. Guess who was on that list.

-According to her credit card statements, Portia Richmond hasn’t spent a dime since she’s been in the Mediterranean –Catherine said- Maybe she’s been swept off her feet.

-Yeah –Nick smiled- Some guys still like to foot the bill.

-¿Really? ¿How would you know? –I asked him in a surprised way.

-Hey, I only dodge girls if they ask the wrong questions –he looked at me- For example, ¿what do you drive?

-It’s an honest question –Catherine confessed.

-No, no it’s not –he laughed and looked at both of us- What it means is how much money do you make so you can take care of me.

-Well, not this girl –I added in response.

Brass paged us to have breakfast all together and talk about the case; we needed to get something clear out of everything. Without noticing, the night passed and it was 7 am and eating food was a good idea to help me stay awake. We walked to the bar, which was two blocks away and sat at a table for four. The waitress treated us kindly and it didn’t take long to bring us the food.

-¿Did anyone tell Grissom we were having breakfast?

-Yeah –Brass nodded- Dispatch left him a message but maybe he thought it was the sheriff and blew it off.

-Let’s talk about motive –Catherine started- We’ve got a missing widow, her bloody tooth found in her own bedroom which is currently occupied by two moes.

-And one of our moes has six names that we know of incluiding Chad Matthews –Nick added.

-Right, and we’ve got a cuff link with the initials C.M. found in the bottom of the pool along with a floating showgirl –Brass spoke.

-A showgirl who was sleeping with six men rolled into one, Patrick Haynes.

-So, the Hayneses controlled Portia Richmond’s bank account but they had to stick around for the checks to clear, ¿so why kill Lacey Duvall?

-I don’t know, but if Lacey Duvall hadn’t been murdered Patrick Haynes reinvents himself and becomes another Skippy in another state, $1.6 mil richer.

Apparently, while we were having breakfast, Grissom visited the mansion again and realized something, which led him to crack de case. As soon as he had the confirmation he expected of some DNA results but he didn’t tell us anything else, he just called us back to the Lab. Someone had to be arrested.

-On behalf of the State of Nevada, my apologies, you’ve been cleared of all charges –Brass said and when Patrick Haynes smiled victoriously..- But on behalf of the State of Texas, you’re under arrest. You’re being extradited for the murder of Lana Grimshaw.

-I slept with her but I didn’t kill her.

-Just like with Lacey Duvall –Catherine nodded.

An officer opened the door and let Mr. Haynes’s wife in. Grissom smirked.

-Now I see it, the family resemblance–he said looking at both- Donnie and Marie. Brother and sister and I got the DNA to prove it. Let me tell you what else I can prove, your sister killed Lacey Duvall.

Patrick got into his feet and walked towards Amanda.

-¿You’re surprised? Look at your face.. you never made a mistake until you met her.

-¿You killed Lacey because I told her about us?

-I had no choice –Amanda swallowed and nodded proudly- We were partners, you can’t grift me Chad.

-Uh.. ¿Who wants to tell us about Portia Richmond? –Catherine asked.

-She’s in Europe –Patrick turned around and sticked to his story- On a yacht, in Greece.

-Oh, right. She’s incommunicado –Brass added.

-Old testament, The Book of Jonah; “And now, the Lord arranged for a great fish to swallow up Jonah” –Grissom stepped forward and put a cloth-covered container in the center of the table, he pulled off the cloth to show a container with a couple of fish from the pond outside the Richmond Mansion- ¿You know what’s wrong with the piranha, thought? They’ve got high cholesterol.

-Cholesterol is found in humans, not fish –Catherine explained- ¿So how does a fish acquire human cholesterol?

Patrick sat down and looked at the fish. Amanda stood there, looking at him.

-You’re both under arrest for the murder of Portia Richmond.

Officially, my work week was over and I just had one day off, but I didn’t care. I had learned a lot working this case, I made connections with my colleagues and experienced what it was to be a CSI. I went to collect my things to the locker room and I found Warrick collecting his too. He appeared to be tired and with many things on his mind.

-¡Hey! ¿How was the case? ¿What was it about? –I asked.

-Dead guy on an elevator –he replied reluctantly- Unsolved.

-¿Why do I feel like there’s something else..?

-Victim was a gambler.

-¿..And you don’t like gambling? –he closed the locker door and looked at me with puppy eyes and I understood it- Oh.. on the contrary.. you like it too much.

-¿You know Holly Gribbs died because I left the crime scene, right? –he sighed and sat on the bench- I left to go make a pit stop. I was gambling and she was dying.

-¿Do you want to talk about it? –I sat beside him.

-No –he smiled slightly and looked at me sideways- Besides, you are tired and you should really go to sleep.

-Warrick, if you have a problem, ignoring it isn’t going to make it go away –I place my hand on his shoulder to show him support- Besides, I always have time for my friends, no matter how sleepy I am.
