Encounter with Another Time Period

In A Faith Forgotten Land: A Civil War AU

Pennsylvania, 1863

When Elizabeth Walker’s state senator father is given a prestigious position in wartime Washington, she plans to pack up their life in Philadelphia and follow him, regardless of his reluctance. What good is staying in Pennsylvania when could she be at the center of society and further help the war effort? (Which, of course, is the last thing he wants her to do.)

Her excitement is unexpectedly crushed underneath the boot of New York cavalryman Major Benjamin Tallmadge, hired as her escort to Washington. The young, stubborn officer blames her for this unwanted assignment and arrangement, for keeping him off the field.

Yet, as the nights in train cars and taverns bring them closer together, and an earth shattering battle looms… will Benjamin and Elizabeth realize what it’s like to fight for not something, but someone?

Six Fun Fact

Because I'm obsessed with spreadsheets, I've been slowly adding more and more data to my little (ok it's big and slows my computer down hardcore) spreadsheet of Six information. After adding initial debut dates for every role each performer had, I came across a little fun fact: of the 73 unique debut orders performers in Six who performed 2 to 6 roles have had, there have, to this date, been 3 groups of people who debuted all the roles they have performed (again, to this date) in the exact same order; 2 groups of 3 who debuted 3 roles, and 1 group of 2 who debuted 2 roles:

Lizz and Impmon were talking about just about anything that came across their minds. They were talking about how Nick pioneered a new type of digivolution, and how Andrea and Rose still haven’t worked through their issues. Then out of nowhere, a Craniummon charges through.

“Just the digi destined I was looking for.” It said, preparing to fire a sonic wave at Lizz and Impmon.

Link Digivolve!!

Beelzemon looks at Craniummon and prepares to fire a bullet straight through his heart. Beelzemon fires the shot, but Craniummon’s reflexes are too fast and he blocks the bullet.

“Ah, a Demon Lord, I’ll make sure Zwart knows I’ve killed you.” Hallow Craniummon says as he charges into Beelzemon and tries to stab him with his spear.

Then a bullet flies through his head and Beelstarmon stands there with a smoking gun. She blows the smoke from her gun away.

Between You And I (The World Fades Away) – Spencer Woodbridge/Elizabeth Walker/Edward Woods

A/N: Fic 5 for @jmathesonandsiblings Spooky Season in the Barrens. Set sometime after Spencer left Elizabeth thinking he died. Spencer belongs to @jmathesonandsiblings, Edward and Elizabeth are mine.

“Spencer?” Elizabeth’s voice shudders with unshed tears even as Edward’s hand grips her hip his other hand clenches around his knife, her softness making him pause even as he takes his rival in. Spencer. Her other lover. “Who is…” “The one who dried her tears.” Edward’s voice is low, husky with rage and worry. Spencer steps closer and he adjusts his grip on the knife. He can’t let her go, not now… but perhaps… “A Rival…” “Or A lover…” Elizabeth’s voice is soft, hopeful, her eyes flickering between them both and Edward considers the man again, her hope is so gentle and bright he almost smiles, then shrugs, letting the knife drop, sizing the man up one more time before letting his lips press to Spencer’s. Spencer hesitates, noting the hope in Elizabeth’s eyes, the way that Edward’s lips feel against his own is new, pleasing in the warmth, the gentleness of it, his lips open a little, accepting the kiss before beckoning Elizabeth closer, the two kissing her before Spencer smiles at Edward. “She still a little whiner?” “Mmm, she’s learning to let go louder… maybe we can teach her to scream for us?”

Why do you think it’s now standard for the teal alt to get pants? It works well for Parr but for the other three typical teal covers (Seymour, Boleyn, Howard) I feel like the shorts would suit better. Seymour is sort of a stretch but teal has actually never played Seymour with pants - it’s either been a skirt (Liz, Bryony, Shannen) or shorts (Jen, CJ, Vicki)

I think it was ultimately a redesign for Paisley Billings as a result of the changing cover/costume system.

Similar to what you pointed out with Seymour, teal didn’t always have a super clear default. It did originate with shorts, with Vicki Caldwell, Jennifer Caldwell, and Cherelle Jay all wearing shorts as either their primary or one of their primary variations. But then Nicole Kyoung-Mi Lambert had shorts but they weren’t a primary variation, and Bryony Duncan, Elizabeth Walker, and Shannen Alyce Quan all never had shorts OR a particularly generic variation in general. (Also, quick note that Jen did wear her H skirt for Seymour).

Compare that to pink alt, orange alt, and redesigned black, which all always had a consistent primary variation even when some had different variations on top of the main:

(L-R: Vicki Manser with shorts, 2019 West End; Nicole Kyoung-Mi with pants as effectively her primary variation, 2019 pre-Bway US Tour; Bryony Duncan with Howard skirt as effectively her primary variation, 2019 NCL/2021 UK universal swing. Cassy Lee A variation, 2019 UK Tour; Hana Stewart, 2019-21 West End; Zara MacIntosh, 2019-21 West End)

So by the time they got to 2021 West End cast change and the changed alt system, orange/pink both had obvious designs to use, but teal didn’t have anything standardized. That’s probably how we got to the spot of there even being something new.

But as far as why they decided to go for pants rather than shorts or a skirt:

(L-R: Danielle Rose and Paisley Billings, 2021 West End; Elizabeth Walker, 2019 NCL; Grace Melville and Leesa Tulley, 2022 UK Tour; Monique Ashe-Palmer, 2022 West End)

A. Danielle and Paisley got switched in their alt costume assignments, with Paisley originally being intended to have orange. This was after at least initial fittings. It may have been even farther into the process. It’s possible that Paisley got pants purely because she had already been fit and patterned (or with construction even started) for pants with orange alt. That may be supported by the style of her pants, which were the front lacing style that orange typically has. This differed from both all previous teal pants and the next variation as worn by Grace Melville, all of which had side lacing, although with Monique Ashe-Palmer they have switched back to front lacing. So…it’s possible that it was a logistical thing with her having just already been fitted for that style of pants. It’s also just more straightforward and easier to consistently fit for future actors.

B. Still might have just felt like pants were the best fit for Paisley and/or her covers. Shorts were mainly just given as a convenience thing to the alts who were also Cleves covers so they’d only need to change the top, which Paisley obviously didn’t need since she wore principal for Cleves. A skirt would have been most in line with the typical design for B/S/H as 3/4 of her 2nd/3rd covers, but they may have felt like it just wasn’t a good fit for any number of reasons (maybe too many skirts between principals and it being the primary variation for Esme/Rachel/Roxanne). The pants with peplum is undeniably a Parr variation, but Parr was one of her second covers and orange alt for Seymour/Parr has always used pants with peplum as well. The peplum shape also really helps to visually distinguish it. Might have just felt like it was ultimately still different and generic enough to work.

Crossover

Fly Like A Jet Stream: A Top Gun AU with @ms-march

California, 1971

The United States Navy Fighter Weapons School, colloquially known as TOPGUN, is in its early stages. Only the navy’s young, best, and brightest pilots are selected for the chance to enter a new era of aviator warfare.

Recent college graduate Elizabeth Walker uses her father’s connections to earn a position as a civilian instructor at TOPGUN. She’s even given her choice of candidates: the brilliant Adrienne Fairfax, the only female pilot desperate to prove herself after a targeted accident; the arrogant draft-dodger (well, almost) Thaddeus Kosciuszko; and Benjamin Tallmadge, a soft-spoken, bookish Long Island boy with blue eyes Elizabeth can’t look into for too long.

But California’s beaches and off base bars barely conceal the cutthroat, high stress environment TOPGUN thrives on. Will they make it through without breaking any rules, or will their careers- and their personal lives- crash and burn?

“Nick, I don’t say this a lot, but you look terrible.” Lizz says, watching Nick and Rose enter the house.

“What happened?” Sam asks frantically.

“We got into a fight with Knightmaremon, we won but Nick got seriously hurt and Lopmon dark evolved.” Rose explains.

“Oh my king,” Riley starts, “do you know the name of the dark evolution?”

“No.” Rose says.

Just as Rose sits down on one of the chairs, a woman walks in, takes a look at Nick and gets furious.

Nikki yells, “If another person I care about gets hurt, I think I’m ending it here and now!”

Sudden Silence, Sudden Heat - Edward Woods/Elizabeth Walker

A/N: It's Spooky Season witches! Here's the first fic for @jmathesonandsiblings awesome spooky season in the barrens event. 'Cryptids' was the prompt.

There’s silence as he walks, his eyes trailing over the woods as he follows the path, faltering at the sight of the blonde woman crouched at the edge of the bog. She’s pale, blonde hair falling loose, sea green-blue eyes misted with such intense misery that he feels his heart tighten with worry. Then he hears it, the woman’s soft sobbing drawing him closer even as he feels the pull to cradle her close, taste her tears that drip down soft cheeks. She stiffens as he moves closer, her eyes flickering with a mixture of fear and panic, his voice dropping even as he moves closer, hands held out. Her hands fist into her simple dress, the pale purple suiting her even as her hands knot tighter into it. “Are you alright… miss?” “Elizabeth… and… no.” “Edward… and… can I… help?” Her eyes burn as they meet his, her breathing sharpening even as she lets him closer, leaning a little into his touch as he smooths tears away, slim fingers tangling around his wrist. “Who hurt you?” “Nobody but…” Her words flow now, his eyes locked on her even as he smooths soft fingers over her cheek, tasting her tears slowly when she looks for him again, then soft lips, swallowing her moan of surprise. “What… are you?” She sounds unsure and he half-sighs. “I thought I must be… human but…” He hesitates then. “Your pain… it called to me…” “Mandragora…” Elizabeth’s voice is soft and, when he stiffens a little, she moves to kiss him again. “Mandragora… a true cryptid… and… if the stories are true… a true mate for bog witches or wood wanderers…” Later, after they walk home, her fingers entangled through his, he finds he kisses her harder, more protectively. They don’t sleep together, not that night, but he knows, deep down, they will, someday.

It's been a while since I read the Percy Jackson & The Olympians, but something that has forever remained in my memory is when Rachel Elizabeth Dare actually throws her blue (yes, blue) plastic brush at Kronos (technically Luke🥲😭),

THE TITAN OF TIME

I DID NOT see that coming

This is staying with me for life.

International Kissing Day (Turn Week Prompt):

Couldn’t help myself and wrote some of In A Faith Forgotten Land (Civil War AU) today. Hope you enjoy!:

The door closed. He was dreamlike in the gaslight, wearing only his shirt and suspenders, bare skin peeking through the slit, a glance of his chest, muscles hiding underneath the thin fabric. If she closed her eyes, would he fade away, dissolve in reality? She wanted to touch him.

“You shouldn’t be here,” she whispered, her voice strangled and strange in her ears.

“I know.”

Against every rule, against her father’s wishes, hell, against her own laws, she stood up straighter. “Don’t leave.”

He laughed, a deep, enchanting sound, as if it pulled her toward him. His boots creaked on the hardwood floor, and she prayed—Oh God, don’t let anyone hear. God, don’t let anyone find him.

Let me keep him for one moment.

Let me have him for one night.

He shook his head, “You think I can?"

Did she sigh? Did she cry out? God, she couldn’t even hear herself. Everything was tuned to him, the way he moved, crossing in quick strides, the way he breathed, shaky and scared, the way she felt, and, if she closed her eyes, threw away her fears, she swore she would hear his heartbeat.

Back away, Elizabeth.

Be true to yourself- no, be true to your life, Elizabeth.

The distance was broken.

He stood in front of her.

She’d never been kissed before.

Could he see it in her eyes? Her nervous stare? Her own heartbeat was strangled in her neck. Go ahead, she’d guide his hand, see how it runs for you.

“Benjamin-"

He kissed her.

His lips gently pressed her mouth open, and she let him in, her chin raised, cradled in his hand. There was a gentle force in his kiss, guiding her, pulling her closer, molding her like clay. She nearly collapsed in his grip— a quiet frenzy to hold him tight, wrap her arms around his neck, chest to chest.

He pulled away only for a second, and she caught her breath, too little as his hands moved to her waist, his splayed on her corset. She gasped. Oh, God. This is what it feels like? Again, he kissed her again, and she didn’t- what did she imagine it would be like? She always thought it would be chaste, standing at the aisle, her father in the first pew at Christ Church. Feelings locked away. Like everything else in Philadelphia. Nothing prepared her for this— not the dances, not the way he looked at her that very first night, standing on her perch, a barely concealed glare-

They broke, and the gaslight was too bright in her eyes.

“Elizabeth…” he buried his face in her hair, but he didn’t release her.

She was stunned, silent.

“Oh, Elizabeth…”

He turned his head, and his cheek brushed hers.

“Don’t say anything,” she whispered with newfound conviction.

If she begged, would he stay? Would he hold her until this cruel war was over? Forget fighting, forget glory, forget who she was-

Her hair-

He let her hair down, her pins on the floor, and he stroked the thick, blonde curls. Another gentleness she didn’t know she wanted, didn’t know she craved.

Why did he stop?

Benjamin let go.

And for a moment, she thought she would die.

They stared at each other, breathing heavily, the air thick and heady, an invisible force hanging between them.

“Oh God,” he whispered.

“Benjamin-"

He held out a hand, the barrier visible, now.

“I don’t�� I don’t know- Oh, Good God, what have I done?”

She scoffed— what have you done?

Shouldn’t you ask yourself the same?
