Cor does not know which of the Six he’d pissed off, but it must have been more than one. Maybe all of them.

The day had been a train wreck. Four different briefings, back to back to fucking back, followed immediately by an emergency escort detail. By the time he finally gets a chance to breathe, his phone is full of missed calls and text messages from one of his most annoying officers.

Aeolus: Why am I on the daycare emergency call list?

Whumptober Day 3

Prompto swallowed blood, landing on his hands and knees onto the hard concrete. He heard the kick before he felt it slam into his ribs. He curled up as best he could to protect himself. To his surprise, no other kicks followed. Just the clang of steel as the bars slammed into place. 

“That’ll teach you Niffs to go wandering around where you’re not wanted.” The cop’s voice dripped with contempt. “A night on our hospitality will teach you to stay in your place.”

Prompto uncurled and pushed himself into a sitting position. He licked his torn lip and grimaced. “You can’t keep me here, I wasn’t doing anything wrong.”

The cop smirked. “A punk like you hanging around the homes of upstanding Insomnians? No way you weren’t up to something.”

Prompto rubbed the side of his face that wasn’t bruised. That was the last time he tried that shortcut home. He’d stayed late playing games with Noct and lost track of time. 

The plus side of this was his dad was going to be pissed off enough at the bigoted cop who’d dragged him in under false pretenses that he might escape getting in trouble for staying out too late. Maybe. 

He wrapped his arms around himself in a bid to keep warm and settled down to wait. If the cop hadn’t been quite as much of an asshole, he might have warned him, but at this point, he deserved what was coming to him.

Sure enough, a half hour later, his dad slammed through the door. He’d have enjoyed watching the cops panic more if he wasn’t so sore. They all straightened up, one of them spilling his coffee in the process.

“Marshal! What are you doing here?” 

Prompto had to give it to him. the asshole had guts.

Cor shot the asshole cop a glare that would have cowed most Crownsguard. “I’m here to retrieve my son. Under what charges have you detained him?”

The cop went satisfyingly pale, turning to look at Prompto.

Prompto stood up and brushed himself off. “A Niff like me had to be up to something – his words.”

Cor’s glare got even icier.

“I- There’s just been some kind of misunderstanding. I’ll just release him into your custody.” He fumbled for key on his key ring.

Cor didn’t say anything more as Prompto was let out of the cell. He put a hand on Prompto’s shoulder and guided him out, making sure to make eye contact with everyone on their way out.

Someone was getting an official reprimand, at the very least.

Cold comfort after the rough treatment, but Prompto would take it. Especially if it distracted his dad from wondering what he was doing out at this time of night by himself.

[llycaons]

wait. wei wuxian as dantes. mdzs comc crossover. duh

[promscamera]

I'm so in love with Cor being the one who saved Prompto from the labs and it's not normal but I'm so obsessedddd

And like, any way is awesome!

Cor saved him and then raised him? Yeess

Or he saved him and Prompto's parents raised him and then Prom goes to train in the Crownsguard and Cor is all omg I'm so proud

Or Prompto's parents are assholes and Prompto has to live somewhere else and suddenty boom Cor the immortal is like 'I got it' and bonding

Or Cor managed to get him out but couldn't fully escape Niflheim with him and was forced to leave him behind/lost him. But he remembers the barcode number and one day they capture/find or whatever this guy from Niflheim with a barcode and of course it's the same and aahh feelings

Anyway, Cor and Prompto. Love it. I want it.

Anyone have any fic/blog recs? I need more! <3

A Retro Moment

For mercy’s sake, Paul, dedicate this one to Linda. 🎵 🎶

After the premiere of his classical composition Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart) at the Royal Albert Hall on 3 Nov. 2006, McCartney gave an interview the next day for BBC Radio 4's Today programme, which was reported by The Daily Mail [link].

From the interview:

“He said Ecce Cor Meum was inspired by his first wife Linda, who died from breast cancer in 1998. She was with him when he was first asked to write the piece 10 years ago and after her death he stopped working on it due to his grief.

"’When Linda died, that was obviously a huge shock and a very difficult time for the family and it stopped me writing anything,’ he said. ‘It was a year and a half after that when I started to creep back into the studio and see if I could do anything.’ Sir Paul said the Interlude part of the composition was particularly sad and his ‘cathartic’ way of getting back into music.

“But the musician said he had not dedicated the piece to Linda because by the time it was finished he had a new love interest. ‘I had found a new woman in Heather and it wasn't really appropriate to dedicate it to Linda,’ he said.”

What nonsense did I just read?

It was inspired by Linda; the interlude expressed his tentative emergence from grief after Linda’s death. BUT he couldn’t dedicate it to Linda because there was a wife no. 2 on the scene?

Paul McCartney, sometimes you make no sense, and this was one of those times.

Why would it be inappropriate to dedicate it to Linda regardless of whom he is married to? She was an important figure in his life for three decades, who joined him in his love of music, and with whom he raised four children who gave him (and her) much joy. If he had written a piece inspired by his friend and collaborator John Lennon, he would (rightfully) have no issue dedicating it to John regardless of whom he is friends and collaborators with now. Why should it be any different with Linda?

Paul himself said of Linda in an interview with The Times [link] in June 2011:

“She is a very powerful memory because I was married to her for nearly 30 years. Now, in my relationship with my new girlfriend, Linda is a powerful presence…”

At least Paul was of sound mind at that time. Where was this sentiment in 2006?

_________________________

Paul married Heather Mills in 2002 over the protests of his children, who deeply disliked and distrusted her. She likewise disliked his children; but not only that, she had no respect for the memory of their mother. Mills was jealous of Linda and could barely abide her name being mentioned.

Paul, who was by all accounts a devoted family man, has stated that he loves being a dad and that his children are his proudest achievement. In an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1997, he stated that the greatest gift he and Linda gave each other were their kids. (I would post a link, but that segment doesn’t appear to be on youtube anymore.)

How Inexplicable

How inexplicable then, that he chose for his life partner someone who positively bristled against his children, for whom the loss of their mother was still fresh.

💔

Maybe it’s poetic justice for being so inconsiderate of his children’s feelings that McCartney sounds like such a fool when looking back, as this passage from The Guardian (2008) shows:

“… on their engagement, he [McCartney] commented that "being in love with her makes me want to write songs." and one composition inspired by her was used as the bridal march at their wedding. (Among the lyrics prompted by their love was the deadweight ‘She makes me feel glad/I want her so bad.’) 🙄

“But even as muse, Mills annoyed some members of the public — after all, hadn't that always been Linda's role, wasn't she usurping that perfect first wife?”

_________________________

As for Heather (and Nancy ❤️)

As for Mills, she presented as self-centred and craving recognition. Despite her charitable campaigns that raised millions for amputees, her affinity for the ulterior benefits of charity — the media attention, the praise from dignitaries, etc. — tainted her contributions in the public eye, rightly or wrongly. This was in contrast to Linda, whose sole concern in her vegetarian projects really was strictly for the animals, as she didn’t expect to gain any praise at all [link, p. 617].

This quote from The Guardian in 2008 suggests what might have been Heather Mills’ primary attraction to Paul McCartney:

"Mills is very much a product of our society, a person in love with fame and celebrity, and that dazzled her."

Even if it wasn’t exactly a love match on Mills’ part, she still rankled if she wasn’t the centre of the relationship. She certainly had her issues, as is evident in this fascinating article from 2009. She did not seem to grasp that Paul’s marriage to Linda was not severed by alienation or breakdown, but that he lost her while he still very much loved her. That love doesn’t turn off like a tap; he will always have a strong spiritual and memorative link to her. If Mills couldn’t handle that, she shouldn’t have married him.

Thank goodness for Nancy, who has the generosity of spirit to understand that Paul can’t simply sweep Linda out of his memory. She knows that he has room in his heart for both of them.

_________________________

So let us return to where we began:

“But the musician said he had not dedicated the piece to Linda because by the time it was finished he had a new love interest. ‘I had found a new woman in Heather and it wasn't really appropriate to dedicate it to Linda,’ he said.”

Um … how about because your children would like to see it dedicated to their mother?

Honestly, what kind of brain fog was McCartney under during his marriage to Mills that made him forget he had children with Linda, and that these children had feelings? SMH. 🤦‍♀️ Why tiptoe so gingerly around Mills’ feelings? This was late 2006; he had already filed for divorce months earlier.

Come on Paul, do the right thing next time. If it was inspired by Linda, originated with Linda, and evokes Linda, then dedicate it to Linda.

fight

i had so many options for this one, so I went with the most obscure. Enjoy! This is an excerpt from the Sequel to Nine Ravens, but it's a different chapter so I'm not counting it as double dipping.

"Why?" Oh gods. "Why what, Ro?" "Why can't I go to my school?" By the Six, kill him. "Because Poppy found you a new one. A better one." Cor sent a silent plea to Shiva for mercy. "I like my school," Rosea pouted. Which would absolutely be a fair argument, one Cor would have used as an answer to turn away Poppy's meddling, had yesterday not occurred. Instead, he was grateful for the meddling. Grateful enough to willfully choose to fight a six-year-old. Six preserve him. "You'll like this school, too. I promise." Rosea scrunched up her face some more, and Cor held his breath. He didn't let it out until she had turned back to her cactuar, apparently feeling merciful today. She showed the bluish-purple crayon she was holding to him. "What color is this?"

Thanks for asking <3

[swordofthreekings]

Okay, but Cor being the one to take Prompto from the labs, and then keeping him, but Prompto's got some attachment issues so instead of putting him in daycare or something, Cor just takes him to work with hi.

Cor training Crownsguard with bb Prompto in one of those little baby backpack things. Doing paperwork with him sitting on his knee or napping against his chest.

Just cute.
