When One Heart Breaks The Other, Follows by @little-diable >> Tommy Shelby x Reader | Summary: Tommy has been at war for months, and the only thing the reader can cling to is the letters he kept writing.

While in that universe, Tommy discovers just how different his life would have been if he had pursued the pretty witch in 71 Watery Lane. | My mother always warned me growing up to never fiddle with magic, but this just makes me want to...

It was just perfect.

Welcome to Downtown, Mr. Shelby by @notyour-valentine >> Tommy Shelby x Crawley!OC - Summary: He was born on a boat, with neither of his parents sure of the date after the fact, unregistered and unlisted until he went to fight for his country. Her birth had been celebrated with the ringing of church bells, champagne toasts, and announcements in newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic. Their worlds could not have been more different, and perhaps that was why, when Thomas Shelby looked at Lady Charlotte Crawley, he saw more than her title, more than her looks- he saw an opportunity. | Enjoyed reading this and emerging myself into this little world, and look forward to what is to come for Charlotte and Tommy.

When Frank finally sees you and realizes that you're all grown up, he struggles with accepting his budding feelings for you. | This chapter had me feeling so many emotions. You start with a stomach drop, then you feel so sad, and then you end it on a great high, needing a tall glass of water to cool down.

GERALT OF RIVIA:

Late Bloomer by @cherienymphe >> Alpha!Geralt x Omega!Reader - Summary: Geralt of Rivia saves you from more than just a werewolf attack. | Sometimes, a one-shot is so good you share it twice with your followers. I'm pretty sure I shared it when I first started doing recommendations, and I'm sharing it again.

PEDRO PASCAL CHARACTERS:

Chokehold by @psychedelic-ink >> Joel Miller x Reader x Ezra - Summary: Joel’s frustrations run deep; to him, you were a twisted source of purity; touching you forced him to think, forced him to feel. But not Ezra. With him, he could do anything. A scary yet also exhilarating feeling. Or alternatively: You wake up to Joel and Ezra having sex. | The emotions you feel while reading this are just too good for me not to share.

I Forgot About Time and Space by @psychedelic-ink >> Ezra x Fem!Reader - Summary: You cook for Ezra's guests, and seeing the sight of you being so domestic awakens something in him. | The smut in this *chef's kiss* and the plot in general. Please read this when you are alone. You'll thank me later.

Various Pedro Characters - Summary: When you play with a strange cube, you’re transported out of your current reality with your boyfriend Marcus into brand new ones starring alternate versions of your boyfriend who look and act entirely different every time. With each encounter, you start to wonder if you’ll ever make it back to your real universe? | Such a good use of the Multiverse and it introduced me to characters that Pedro played that I haven't yet watched. Rae does an amazing job keeping you at the edge of your seat and passing off such deep emotions. It's a must read for Pedro Pascal fans.

*Meet The Millers by @musings-of-a-rose >> Joel Miller x Benny Miller x Will Miller x f!reader - Summary: Moving into the Boston Quarantine Zone after nearly 20 years on the outside takes some adjusting. A misdirection one night guides you to the 3 men who will change the course of your life. | This series has a little bit of everything from drama to love and spiciness. There isn't much more you could ask for out of this series other than wishing for more.

When You're Reading Me by @psychedelic-ink >> Joel Miller x Reader - Summary: If you had to make a list of things Joel Miller might buy you as a gift— nipple clamps would not be a part of it. | *Internally screams* This was really hot, and I think I'll go grab a cold shower now.

STRANGER THINGS:

The Grief of Losing Eddie Munson by @eufezco >> Steve Harrington x Reader - Summary: Best friends with Eddie Munson, the reader goes through the stages of grief of losing her best friend with her family at her side. | Someone pass me the box of tissues. This was so good. I cried through almost the whole thing.

MOODBOARDS:

My Luck by @forgottenpeakywriter >> Tommy Shelby x Reader

My Sun, My Moon and All My Stars by @zablife >> Tommy Shelby x OFC!Aurora Sabini | Lee puts together a breathtakingly beautiful moodboard for a what-if scenario in the Peaky Blinders universe. It leaves you wanting to read more and more for the couple.

Your Bread by @forgottenpeakywriter >> Alfie Solomons x Reader

Your Eyes by @forgottenpeakywriter >> Tommy Shelby x Reader

You Like That by @dearshelby >> Tommy Shelby x Reader | Tall glass of cold water to cool down, please!

@psychedelic-ink - SIL, is such an amazing writer, writing most recently for Pedro Pascal's characters and sharing her amazing works with us here. Her masterlist includes more than just Pedro's characters, having written for the MCU and Oscar Isaac, to name a couple. I love the emotions you feel through every piece of writing she puts out, and I have yet to find a piece I don't like. I think you'll find you like or perhaps love her writing just as much as I do.

@shelbydelrey - Isa is a Peaky Blinder writer whose work I enjoy reading and love seeing the moodboards she puts out as well. I would definitely give Isa a follow because she brings positivity to your dashboard with her reviews and welcoming spirit.

Sarah Florence Rogers

DOB: May 15th 1940 Age: 83 years old Hometown: Brooklyn, New York Nicknames: Sare S/O: Dennis Rowling Kids: Everett and Wesley Best Friend(s): Margaret Fitzgerald Aesthetic: The sweetest soul you’ll ever know. She was extremely close to her father and thought he was Superman (close enough). Her mother taught her how to cook and clean and do all that she would need to know to be a good housewife, however, she became a Lawyer instead. She was big into feminism in the 1960s. And yes, she burned her bras, and yes, her mother wasn’t happy. Her father was proud though.

Phillip James Rogers

DOB: July 24th 1942 Age: 81 years old Hometown: Brooklyn, New York Nicknames: Phil, Philly, PJ S/O: Kimberly Donaldson Kids: Daniel, Michael, Elise, Julian, and May Best Friend(s): Thomas Barnes, Peter Oswald, and Joseph Williamson Aesthetic: Phillip was his parent’s wild child. Always running crazy down the streets of Brooklyn. His parents often worried about him and when he was 14 years old they got him a job at his Uncle Bucky’s garage. He became obsessed with cars from then on. He even got gifted a red cadillac for his 16th birthday.

John Howard Rogers

DOB: April 16th 1944 Age: 79 years old Hometown: Brooklyn, New York Nicknames: Howie S/O: Maria St.Clair Kids: Ella and Jude Best Friend(s): Chandler Atkins Aesthetic: Howie was a total suck up to his parents (especially his mother) and would always snitch on his older siblings, until he had younger siblings who would snitch on him. His mother always adored him so, he was a very sweet boy to everyone. Never complained about putting a tie on for church or sitting patiently at the dinner tables, always saying his prayers. When he was a teenager he had all the girls, some during the same time, his father had to sit him down and have a talk. That’s when he met Maria and stuck with her.

Robert Nicholas Rogers

DOB: June 12th 1946 Age: 77 years old Hometown: Brooklyn, New York Nicknames: Rob, Robbie S/O: Susan Berry Kids: Marcus, Allen, Louis, and Michelle Best Friend(s): Matthew Barnes and Kenneth Baker Aesthetic: He was the cool kid from the very beginning, quite literally. When he was 3 he fell into a frozen lake and almost died, gave his mama a heart attack. He was obsessed with Elvis Presley and begged him daddy to teach him how to gel his hair like his, and he kept his hair like that until he was well into his twenties. Robbie always would dance in front of the television with Elvis, while his little sister would sit and stare. Grew up to be a singer just like him. Almost cried when he died.

Clara Jo Rogers

DOB: November 5th 1950 Age: 73 years old Hometown: Paterson, New Jersey Nicknames: Clare, CJ S/O: Harry Marx Kids: Russell, Rose, and Shelia Best Friend(s): Russell Barnes and Denise Lewis Aesthetic: Like her older brother, was also obsessed with Elvis. She was in love from the moment she saw him on the Ed Sullivan show in 1956. Her father wasn’t too happy but couldn’t do anything about it. She was always a girly girl which her mother adored. Since Sarah never wanted to do anything with her mama, Clara kindly stepped in. Loved going shopping with her mama at the mall, baking, and playing mom with her little brothers. Thought she was going to marry Elvis, but ended up meeting and falling in love with his roadie, Harry Marx. She met Elvis and freaked out, she was speechless and stuttering over her words.

Scott Ivan Rogers

DOB: December 19th 1951 DOD: December 18th 1969 (18 years old) Hometown: Paterson, New Jersey Nicknames: Scotty S/O: Maryann Mulder Kids: None Best Friend(s): David Barker and Peggy Moore Aesthetic: Scott was the pretty boy in his family. Not so smart but very good-lookin’. Girls were always following him since he was young. When he was 17 he was drafted into the Vietnam War, similar to his older brother he never met. His mother sobbed her eyes, while his father held him, the two crying themselves. They didn’t understand. There was a non-written rule that no two children could be drafted to the same war. It was just unfair. Turns out the president wanted to send Scotty to war to see if the super-serum passed down from his father. When his father found this out he beat himself over it. Never got over it after his death.

Timothy Leonard Rogers

DOB: February 18th 1956 Age: 67 years old Hometown: Paterson, New Jersey Nicknames: Tim, Timmy, and Leo S/O: Valerie Pratt Kids: Georgia, Whitney, Bethany, Ryder, and Ethan Best Friend(s): Jesse Barnes and Rodney Heffer Aesthetic: He was a surprise baby. Wasn’t planned whatsoever and it showed. His parents were getting older and was the glass child of his family. Because of this he was pretty close with his older sister, Clara. She loved him like a mother. She always looked out for him and whenever he got teased or picked on at school, you know damn straight she would hear and deal with it. Many suspensions later and they are still as tight as that.

What do you think about Madge Undersee? Any headcanons?

Do you think her gift of the gold Mockingjay pin to Katniss just a coincidence? Or is there any connection to the rebellion in District 12?

Why do you think she brought the morphling after Gale’s whipping in Catching Fire?

How did you feel about Madge’s exclusion from the movies?

Who would be your fancast for Madge if there is a new adaptation?

Thank you so much :)

@curiousnonny

Hi nonny!!

I love Madge as a character, and I hate that she was left out of the movies! I have read stories that imply the gold Mockingjay pin was her aunt's in the Quarter Quell, and I can see that. I can also imagine it's not related to the rebellion at all. It could really go either way. (The one way that DOESN'T make sense is someone just handing away a gold pin to Katniss for nothing.... really, Gary Ross??!?!)

I like to think Madge and Gale had feelings for each other. I've read a fair bit of Gadge fic over the years. One headcanon that I've read is that Posy ends up adoring Madge, which I can totally imagine. Posy has 3 older brothers, so I can imagine getting a new sister-type would mean the world to her. And I adore Posy so I love stories that feature her. I have a weakness for cute little kids in stories.

Anyway, I think she brought the morphling because she had a bit of crush on Gale, AND that she's just a really good person, AND she's doing it as Katniss's friend.

As for a fancast, I guess maybe Florence Pugh? I'm no good at coming up with fancasts.

Thanks for the ask!

The Decades Challenge ~ 1924-1925 (Roaring Twenties and Prohibition)

It is a calm two years for this family. The grandkids are growing up fast, and family dynamics continue to evolve. I have a feeling sometime in the future, Mabel's endless questions will land her into some trouble...but for now everyone indulges in the wonderings of a child. Mable might even be considered a little hyperactive by today's standards.

A day after Donald is born, Hazel introduces Mabel to her new baby brother. Hazel asks so many questions...will he like to play with her dolls? Why does he sleep so much? How come he has no hair? Will his hair be brown like hers? Mabel seems to speak before she has even formed the next question in her brain. Hazel laughs and tells her that Donald is a little too small to play like her, so she will have to be patient. As for her other questions, time will tell.

Skipping to early 1924, Mabel is now a child. She has more chores around the house, like setting the table, taking care of the chicken coop, and cleaning up after herself. Edward makes sure to spend some quality time with Mabel in the early mornings before she heads to school, and usually keeps up with her school tales. Mabel does not stop talking, even to take a breath.

Hazel has had to deal with some school yard teasing about her glasses and constant questions. She got glasses when she was 6 years old, and a lot of kids call her funny names like "four eyes" or "granny" since no one else needs them. Mabel's parents are first concerned when they find out kids are being unkind to their daughter, but quickly realize Mabel seems unusually emotionally mature for her age and seems unaffected by the name calling.

Donald is a happy, bouncing baby boy. He is definitely a morning person, and giggles every time his mother wakes him up for the day. I think Donald is more excited about his morning breakfast than anything else, to be honest.

Donald eats more than she has ever seen a baby eat in one sitting...he often gets into a milk trance when he is given his bottle.

Ravenous infants usually mean more spit up...this is the first infant in this challenge that is a "happy spitter". Hazel is not too keen on baby vomit on her clothes most mornings.

But she quickly forgives her son for his spit ups. Hazel might not be a natural born mother like Ida, but she is entirely devoted to her children. What she lacks in some instincts is made up for in unconditional love.

Edward knows it is much too soon to try again for another baby, but he cannot help himself from showing off to his wife from time to time... Hazel would love him with or without the biceps, but if he keeps this up they might have another baby sooner than they think.

Edward and Mabel play soccer inside the living room if it is not nice enough outside, much to Hazel's annoyance. A lamp or two have been broken for sure...but Edward replaces them before either can be caught red handed.

As Dorothy and Donald are so close in age, Hazel sometimes stops at the Marino house to keep Florence and her newest daughter some company and play time.

Florence, a mother to three daughters, adores little Donald. She is reminded of her little brothers, especially Donnie.

Dorothy has brown hair and olive skin like her father, but deep, dark blue eyes no doubt from the Kennedy side. Hazel and Florence spend many afternoons during 1925 in the nursery while their older children and husbands are out of the house.

As Albert works most nights, he is able to stop in from time to time. He smiles and laughs at Dorothy's unsure expression the first time Hazel held her. She is going to be a cautious toddler, and likely skeptical adult. Thankfully she has two older sisters to help her as she grows.

Albert's oldest daughter celebrated her 13th birthday in 1925, so she is officially a teenager!

Alice's goal is to be the top student at her high school, and be the first person in her family to go to college.

As her older sister spends more time devoted to her studies, Caterina has found a best friend in her cousin, Mabel.

Caterina and Mabel grow close to one another during 1925, as it seems their other family members are always busy studying, taking care of infants, or working jobs.

Their favorite past time is to play dollhouse in Mabel's room.

While Caterina is more of a social butterfly than her wallflower cousin, she tells Mabel that she will always have her back at school if some of the younger kids ever tease her. I have no doubt that this sunny blondie would defend Mabel against any slander!

It is Thanksgiving 1925, and Edward has invited his extended family to his home for the day. While they live relatively close to one another, it is rare for everyone to be in the same house at the same time.

Alice brings her study materials, of course, but seems to get no where due to Mabel's endless questions. Mabel is no where near old enough to comprehend high school course material, but Alice finds her little cousin's curiosity so endearing she answers every single question without fail.

They cleared the living room of most furniture to make room for the huge dinner table. Albert, who is typically absent for family functions, shows up much to the happiness of Emmet and Ida. They have not seen their son-in-law in some time, and are glad things seem to be going well financially for him. Albert and Florence have decided to keep the nature of his job a secret.

Emmet takes a moment to observe all of his family in one place, and finds an inner peace that has not been felt since before Donnie's passing. He is not a crier, but his eyes get a little misty watching his children and grandchildren have an enjoyable evening together after so long.

1925 is also the year Breena ages up into a young adult. She is still a daydreamer, lost in her world of magic. It rains during Thanksgiving, and Breena steps outside for a bit to feel the rain on her face and hands. She loves her family, but to be confided too long inside makes her restless. She shakes this feeling as just cabin fever, but wonders if this restless feeling is trying to tell her tell her something. Something to watch out for in the coming year, perhaps?

Interrupted interviews | Florence Pugh

Pairing: Florence Pugh x Reader

Summary: You're keeping your kids entertained while Florence has an interview over video call. But when you take your youngest to get her diaper changed, the two older boys decide to visit their mama in the middle of the interview.

masterlist | requests: open | taglist | words: 1k

Florence was in your home office doing an interview with Jimmy Fallon over a video call. Together with Scarlett Johansson, the two of them were being interviewed for the movie Black Widow. You were just a couple of rooms away entertaining your two boys. The twins were now almost three years old, an age that you absolutely adored. You were building blocks with them, making a big tower. While your little girl fell asleep in the baby's rocking chair at a safe distance from the tower. Making sure that if the tower fell, none of the blocks would come near her.

The five of you made a happy family, something both you and Florence had dreamed of for years. The dreams of your future together had already started when you just started dating. And now here you were, married to the love of your life with three beautiful, healthy kids.

When you hear the baby fussing behind you, you go check on her. She started moving a bit as if she was uncomfortable, which could only mean one thing. It was time for a diaper change. You gently remove her from the baby's rocking chair to try and keep her asleep, which was a success. "Boys, I will be right back. How about you keep playing with the building blocks and when I get back I will see which one of you made the highest one. What do you think?" Their eyes lit up, already moving around to gather more blocks. They were already pretty competitive, so making things like this into a competition was usually the solution to keep them busy for a while.

In the baby's room you start changing your daughters diaper. In the middle of the process, she stirs awake and starts crying a bit. To distract her you grab one of her toys that make sound, so she can focus her attention on that while you finish cleaning her up and providing her a clean diaper.

Once she's all cleaned up and dressed again, you pick her up and start gently bouncing her up and down in your arms, hoping she'd fall asleep again. To your luck she dozed off quickly again in your arms, her head resting on your chest.

When you get back into the living room there are building blocks scattered all over from two fallen towers and the boys are nowhere to be found. You were really hoping they didn't go to the office since it's a live interview, so no way to cut out anything. But when you started moving her way you saw that the door to the office was opened and one of your boys was calling out "Mama, he pushed my town" to which the other responded, "No, mama, he started."

Florence tried to finish answering Jimmy's question, but that was rather hard with two toddlers arguing in the background. You move around the corner of the door, the baby still asleep in your arms. "Boys, come here. Mama is busy, she's working."

Flo takes out one of her headphones, "Love, Jimmy asks if you and the kids would come on the interview and answer some questions too." You nod and tell the boys, "Do you hear that? You're going to be on TV!" You crouch down beside them, "We have to be very calm okay?" The boys nod their heads. "Alright, you two go to mama and I'm going to get a chair."

Placing your office chair next to Florence's, you sit down with her. Florence has taken out her headphones and has put the audio from her laptop. One of the boys climbs on Florence's lap while the other one goes to you, careful of his sister.

You say hello to Scarlett, Jimmy and the audience and the boys wave too. "My apologies for all the commotion, the tower contest during diaper time didn't go exactly as planned." Everyone starts laughing and Jimmy says "My daughter has joined me for so many interviews in the past months, you are totally fine. And yeah like Florence said, do you mind if we ask you some questions too?"

He asks you a bit about what it's like when Florence is away and how it is like traveling with Florence with the kids. What it's like for someone outside of the film industry to be walking onto these big Marvel sets. Of course, you answer all his questions.

He then asks the boys "So, what's it like to have a momma that's a superhero?" Their eyes light up, "Mama a superhero?" Florence kisses his head, "Yeah and one day when you're old enough I'll show you. But for now, you get to see me on set do all the cool stunts, right?"

Now your other son gets the confidence to speak, "Yeah, mama can fly!" Everyone starts laughing again as you ruffle your hand through his hair. "Is that so?" Jimmy asks and both boys start nodding their heads.

"On that note, I want to thank you all for taking the time out of your day for me and answering all my questions. Everyone this was Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh, joined by her family. Watch Black Widow in theaters starting July 9th. Have a good day everyone!" You all wave by before Flo closes her laptop.

Florence starts tickling twins their sides, "You little troublemakers are going to be on TV!" The boys start giggling.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I thought they'd be busy for just a little while longer." You apologize. Florence leans in and gives you a sweet kiss, "Don't worry about it. It all worked out, didn't it?"

You start laughing, "Yeah it worked out. You're in full make-up and I look like this." Florence her smile grows bigger, "Yeah, you look beautiful. And with her in your arms the whole family picture was perfect." She kisses you again, resulting in the boys saying "Ewwwww" and trying to get away from your holds on them.

Owwww Alexa play run the world by Beyoncé

Florence would praise pe!reader sm for creating a peaceful and welcoming environment for everyone 😭😫🦋

and she’d be sharing SOOOO much content from the behind the scenes. like pictures of flo goofing on set, pictures of pe!reader on the director’s chair with a caption like:

“Being directed by you is a dream come true. I don’t think I’ll ever believe I got that opportunity”

and pictures of the food pe!reader would get them all.

it’d be when filming wraps up that flo posts multiple pictures in one post with something like:

“Choosing projects is always a critical step. I have worked with amazing people, and I have worked in toxic environments, too. Ever since I had the opportunity to act alongside Y/N Y/L/N-Evans in Little Women, we have kept in touch and I’m privileged to say that she’s been like an older sister to me. Ever since I was a kid, she’s been the one person I constantly look up to, so to be directed by her isn’t just something I never imagined, it’s beyond that. It’s so fucking great. To Y/N, thank you for creating a safe environment for all of us, for pushing me to my best, for making sure I was comfortable, for always listening to me, and for being the best fucking mother to an adorable kid and still kicking ass at what you do. This is the project of my lifetime and I’m forever grateful that you gave me that opportunity.”

and look…both pe!reader and flo would get oscars for that movie.

KTAW: Day 4—Origins/France

So the reason my entries for KTAW are coming in late is 100% the fault of the French lineage I created for Joëlle, which took days upon days upon DAYS of research. As such it involves a lot of real historical elements; however, if the first instance of the character’s name is bolded and does not have a link, they’ve been invented by me (Choices characters excluded). I hope you enjoy the fruits of my labor!

Tagging @kiaratheronappreciationweek and the gracious hosts @lizzybeth1986 and @sazanes!

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

On her mother’s side, Kiara is descended from Syphax and my ACoR MC Tamara, who after the events of the series traveled back to Gaul to rebuild their tribe

Tamara was from the Vidubagaud, the name I invented—which loosely translated means “wood fighters”—for the fourth pagi of the Helvetii, who in my HC later formed in part the bagaudae from which the House of Blois descends

Touraine—the traditional name of the French region from which Joëlle hails—first passed from their house in 1044 CE when Count Theobald III was forced to exchange the county for his freedom, but he did later gain Champagne

The House of Blois ended when Queen Joan I of Navarre married the king of France, and Champagne was absorbed into the royal domain

In 1326 CE as a result of her affair in France with Roger Mortimer, Joan’s daughter and English queen Isabella of France gave birth to a bastard son named Cyril just before returning to England

Cyril was left to be raised by his uncle the French king Charles IV, who came to consider the boy his own son, legitimizing him as a prince du sang (“prince of the blood”) and giving him the surname “du Blois”

The two-year-old became helpful in securing his cousin King Phillip VI’s claim to throne after Charles IV’s passing, as he was the latter’s nearest male blood relative next to King Edward III of England

Though Cyril stayed unacknowledged as a legitimate heir to the English throne, he was still a threat to his older half-brother’s reign, and thus their mother Isabella was not permitted to visit him

While he was kept out of courtly life to discourage any desire for the throne and for his own safety, Cyril was educated alongside Phillip VI’s heirs as the king’s ward

When Cyril reached 14, the War of the Breton Succession began, and he was sent to attend the University of Paris, where he studied at the College of Navarre which his grandmother had founded

Upon his graduation with a Master of Arts, Cyril came back to court and was granted the County of Champagne as an appanage (Touraine having become a royal dukedom)

Centuries later in 1533 CE, while attending the wedding of his half-sister Catherine de Medici to Prince Henry II, Alessandro de' Medici fell in love with Sabrina du Blois and eloped with her back to Florence

Their marriage was a direct violation of Alessandro’s engagement contract to the Holy Roman Emperor’s daughter, a contract which had been signed by his uncle Pope Clement VII

Seeking the support of the Papal States in his war for Italy against Spain, King Francis I annulled the marriage, only for the Pope to shortly die afterwards

Sabrina initially refused to return to France until she learned that her former husband had already had a child with his favorite mistress; unfortunately, she herself was already pregnant, and she died giving birth to their son Thibault in 1534 CE

Her father the Count Champagne sought the king’s approval to have his grandson legitimized, arguing he was conceived while their marriage was still valid, but the scorned Francis I refused

The count didn’t give up there and instead tried to ingratiate Thibault with other members of the royal family, specifically his aunt and the new queen Catherine under the guise of needing a mother’s guidance

However, though she came to adore her little nephew and took him in once his grandfather passed, it is her husband’s mistress who held sway rather than her, and thus Champagne became absorbed into the royal domain once more

Seeking to regain his title and his family’s honor, Thibault joined the navy and became a maritime captain, but he set his sights on the east rather than the west

At the age of 19, he was put in charge of the raid of the tidal island south of Pontios (the island on which Cordonia is located) in 1553 CE by his request, which was only granted as the Ottoman-French forces believed the island was uninhabited

This was an incorrect assumption, as after the Mali Empire’s capital was invaded in 1546 CE, members of the Keita Imperial Dynasty had fled to Pontios along with a good portion of their people and settled on its southern tidal island, where they built the hidden city Tawunta (“protected with a charm”)

Upon finding Tawunta, Thibault fell for both the beauty of the primeval temperate rainforest and the beauty of the mansa’s daughter Fatoumata

With Cordonia in the midst of a civil war in which Ottoman is involved, Tawunta’s mansa accepted Thibault’s proposal for Fatoumata’s hand, and thus the island became the French colony Cormery Isle

This success lead Thibault to be legitimized and made the governor of the new colony, and he was later invited to the French court along with his family by Catherine in 1563 CE, who as the Queen Mother to King Charles IX now had great authority

Her invitation was part of her attempt to revive loyalty to the crown, and Thibault impressed the court with the riches of Cormery Isle along with his beautiful wife, who is dubbed la princesse noire (“the black princess”)

Catherine was finally able to grant the County of Champagne to her nephew and former ward, and his son Ebrima (known in French as Abraham) later went to Paris to be educated

In order to help further establish the Peace of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Lord Abraham is sent to Navarre’s royal court as a suitor for Catherine de Bourbon; she showed no interest in him, so he wound up becoming good friends with her brother Henry III instead

In the wake of the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, Abraham helped to ferry many Protestant Frenchmen to Cormery Isle and eventually assisted his friend in escaping the French court in 1576 CE

When this was discovered, Thibault’s countship and governorship were both revoked, as he stood accused of aiding and abetting his son’s crime

However, 13 years later when Henry nominally became King Henry IV of France, he granted Abraham the Duchy of Touraine for his steadfast friendship, recognizing both him and his father as princes du sang (the highest rank in court after the immediate family of the king)

Both Henry and Abraham had to battle to claim their lands, but Paris could not be taken; it was Abraham who eventually convinced Henry to convert to Catholicism with the famous phrase, “Paris vaut bien une messe,” or “Paris is well worth a Mass.”

With the new influx of French settlers along with Cormery Isle now being overseen by the older/larger French colony Auvernal, Fatoumata led most of her people to accept her son’s offer to settle in his new duchy, and thus Touraine became home to the first predominantly Black settlement in France

Though they had the king’s favor, the court did not look too fondly upon House du Blois, mostly due to jealously-fueled racism; their admiration of Fatou turned to scorn now that she was their equal/better, and her new nickname became an insult: la princesse grenouille (“the frog princess”)¹

The family continued to have the favor of the crown even after the passing of Henry IV, as Thibault’s youngest granddaughter Joëlle (the namesake of Kiara’s mother) was a favourite and beneficiary of Marie de’ Medici, the regent of France

Unfortunately, they lost much of their influence when she was unseated in 1617 CE and exiled to Loire by her son King Louis XIII, whose principal minister Cardinal Richelieu ordered all fortified castles razed in the same year slavery was made legal, thus weakening the French nobility’s ability to fight back

Working with the Duke of Brittany, the next Duke of Touraine managed to help Marie escape her exile and joined her in the second war against her son; thought they lost, they were forgiven by the king

House du Blois protested greatly against France’s expansion of their slave trade; in response to the Code Noir, they took up the fleur-de-lis² as their charge and regularly bought slaves from the colonies to be freed once they set foot on French soil

By the French Revolution, the Duchy of Touraine had been passed down to a cadet branch, the House Condé, who in pursuit of their goal to abolish slavery managed to keep their title (and their heads) by joining the Third Estate’s National Assembly

Unlike other nobles, their family did not seek out advantageous matches but rather matches within their community, and as such remained visibly Black into modern day (with Kiara’s maternal grandfather Aaron Condé being the current duke)

Notes

This nickname—coupled with how Fatou was heavily involved in rebuilding Tours following the French Wars of Religion—is why in my HC, she serves as one of the inspirations for the Disney Princess Tiana’s character.

The Code Noir stated that runaway slaves would be branded with the fleur-de-lis; it was chosen by House du Blois to openly declare their stance against slavery and because it would be considered an affront to the monarchy, as the fleur-de-lis has been historically used by French royalty.

Character profile

► basics; Full Name: Angelo della Rovere Birthday: 23rd of June 18xx Pronouns: he/him Sexual Orientation: Bi Hogwarts House: Slytherin Blood Status: pureblood Nationality: Italian Personality type: ENFP

Personality: Angelo is curious by nature. He’s good at studying but often leaves things to run on their own course, waiting to see what happens. He’s the youngest child, baby sunshine of the family and it shows on how he seeks attention and validation. Angelo is really a combination of his two siblings. He has a quick temper, and he thinks highly of himself. He wants to do great in life and to have glory. Still being the youngest child with no certain future plans has made him secretly very insecure and afraid. He is not as graceful as his siblings either and has a great tendency for clumsiness. Angelo usually expects to be liked and it bothers him if people don’t. He can first come across as smug and a little annoying with his tendencies to talk about his family’s special history and wealth. Once you get to know him, you’ll see that he’s very caring and often on a good mood which reflects on other people around him. He also has a big heart, even if he doesn’t show it to everyone.

► magical info;

Wand: Silver Lime wood with a dragon heartstring core, 14 ¼ and quite flexible flexibility

"This unusual and highly attractive wand wood was highly fashionable in the nineteenth century. Demand outstripped supply, and unscrupulous wandmakers dyed substandard woods in an effort to fool purchasers into believing that they had purchased silver lime. The reasons for these wands' desirability lay not only in their unusually handsome appearance, but also because they had a reputation for performing best for Seers and those skilled in Legilimency, mysterious arts both, which consequently gave the possessor of a silver lime wand considerable status.

Patronus: White stallion

Proud, majestic, and often stubborn. Witches and wizards who produce a white stallion patronus know they are strong and can strike awe into many of their peers. They are confident and know exactly what the limit to their powers are, but that wont stop them from showing off what they can do.

If you conjure the white stallion you are more than likely a very strong willed person. The white stallion may be produced by a proud being, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t humble. Those who call the white stallion their patronus will defend their friends and families honor with extreme dedication.

Patrounus memory: A memory when he was a child. Agata gave him a little rose gem to keep in his pocket for good luck, he keeps it around every day.

Boggart: People around him turning on him and hating him.

Specialized/Favourite spells: Lumos Solem, he does this trick while dueling where he tries to dazzle the opponent first.

► background;

Place of Birth: Florence, Italy

Home: Palazzo Della Rovere, hidden from muggles, later London, Agata’s apartment.

Little history of the Della Rovere’s in the wizarding society:

Della Rovere’s were thought to have ended their family line in Vittoria Della Rovere (1694) who married into de’ Medici family and the titles became extinct with the extinction of the House of Medici with the death of her grandson Gian Gastone de’ Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany in 1737. The family line continued how ever in secret as they were almost reveled to the muggles for being wizards. They left Rome and Urbino and created a hidden home in Florence, following in Vittoria’s footsteps. With time they were wiped from the lives of the muggle’s but stayed well known and wealthy as well as more powerful than ever in their wizarding society. They would later be known as just Rovere’s

Childhood:

Angelo was born around 20 years later than his other siblings. He was a happy surprise to the family and everyone treated him like a little prince. His older sister Agata adored him and his brother Achille was always there to protect him when he was younger. When he was still very young, Agata moved to live in London and it made the child who saw her as some what of an idol very sad. The parents spoiled all of their children and Angelo was used to getting what he wanted. He still managed to grow a great appreciation for nature around him and had a soft spot for creatures. He liked to make people around him laugh. At some point he started to be the child who would protect those younger than him. He loves horses but is very bad at riding because of his clumsiness. He often had odd dreams that often happen to come true.

► physical;

Faceclaim: Giorgio Belli Eye Color: Dark brown Hair Color: Black Height: 6,1 feet/ 185cm

Story:

Like his siblings, Angelo was home schooled. He didn’t feel like it was the right environment for him as he loved to be around other people and he was jealous of his friends for attending actual school. He was bored at staying still and wished to see the world outside Italy. He decided to his parents’ disappointment to ask for a chance to attend Hogwarts and to go live with his sister in London. Eventually the permission was granted.

► relatives;

Father: Francesco Maria IV della Rovere Head of the Della Rovere family at the time of Angelo’s birth. He wanted his children to be happy and marry who ever they wanted to (as long as they’re pureblood) as he did himself but after Agata decided not to marry Ezra Greenaway, he grew angry and judged her choice. He decided to make a different call for his other children and began arranging marriages to his own liking that would present the family in the right way. Neither Achille or Angelo were bothered by his plans as they were promised to get some say in the matter. It backfired for Angelo later in life…

Mother: Teresa Miani

Teresa came from a less wealthy pureblood family. Her family had lost their wealth when she met her future husband. He chose to marry her anyway. Angelo got along better with his mother than father. When he later fell in love, he begged for his mother to side with her on the matter but she was hesitant.

Sister: Agata della Rovere Even while being away from Angelo for most of his childhood’s determine years, him and Agata grew close, and she adored him. Later in life when he moved to live with her, she was a big part on raising him. He thinks his sister is the most brilliant person to exist. The two may argue sometimes but mostly see eye to eye in life. She wants him to decide on things for himself like she has done in life and it bothers her how easily Angelo still falls for the family’s responsibilities and how he can easily minimize his own needs in order to please others.

Brother: Achille della Rovere After Agata left Italy, the second oldest child Achille was named the heir. He was sly and quick tempered. Achille and Angelo had a difficult relationship where he would often tease his younger brother and call him too soft. Whenever Agata would come to visit, Angelo would side with her when she and Achille would quibble about nonsense and it annoyed Achille greatly. Through all this if Angelo was ever in real danger, Achille would always choose to help him and protect him.

Hi! I love your stories so much! They make me so happy! Could you maybe do one where Yelena had some kind of hidden talent Natasha never knew about (maybe playing an instrument or something) and one day Natasha finds out and is just so surprised and proud of her baby sister.

A/N: Oh, my gosh, as soon as I saw this request, I knew I had to write Yelena playing an instrument 💖 This may or may not have been inspired by Florence’s own beautiful talent with guitar 🥰💗

Thank you for this amazing request and I hope you enjoy! 😊💕

Word Count: 3307

“Hey, kid, I’ve got to run to a meeting, but I just wanted to stop by really quick for something,” Tony spoke as he entered the room, his eyes sparkling with excitement as he entered the common room of the Avengers compound and stood in the doorway.

Peter’s face immediately lit up as he saw the older man, and Natasha and Yelena shared a smile from where they were lounged in their favorite armchair together, Yelena cushioned between Natasha’s legs and resting her back against Natasha’s torso.

It was the day after Peter’s birthday and his birthday party, and Peter, Yelena, and Natasha had been happily talking and spending some time together as he told them about what he was doing at school and, after Yelena’s insistence, about how things were going with MJ. Tony had entered completely unexpectedly, and the girls found it absolutely adorable how Peter was always so excited to see the man.

“So you remember that I told you I had a present for you but just couldn’t quite get it ready for you by your actual birthday, right?” Tony asked, and Peter nodded as he got up and headed over to Tony, looking at him curiously as the man stood in the doorway.

“Yeah,” Peter replied, watching the man carefully, and Tony grinned before reaching on his side of the doorway for something hidden on his side.

“Well… They finally managed to pull it together… And I really hope you like it,” Tony told him before pulling out an acoustic guitar and holding it out to Peter. Peter’s eyes widened ridiculously, and Natasha could not help her slight laugh in response to his expression.

“Woah, Mr. Stark!!! How did you know?!” Peter exclaimed as he reached out and took the guitar from the man, inspecting it closely as Tony headed further into the room with him, a smirk on his lips.

“I pay more attention than you think, underoos,” Tony quipped as Peter approached the couch he had been sitting on so he could sit the guitar down.

“Gosh, thank you so much!” Peter cried. Tony grinned widely down at the boy, and Natasha tightened her grasp a bit on Yelena as she rested her cheek against the top of the blonde’s head, a smile spreading across her face at the adorable scene as Yelena sunk further down between her legs in the armchair.

“Sure thing. We’ll get you an instructor for that thing ASAP,” he assured him, reaching out and squeezing Peter’s shoulder fondly. Peter propped the guitar against the couch and quickly hugged Tony tightly. Tony returned the embrace quickly, a giant smile finding its way onto his lips as he patted the boy’s back affectionately.

They then pulled away from each other, and Tony grinned at him.

“Give it a spin, kiddo. I’ve got to get off to my meeting, but make it extra loud and see if you can wake Capcicle from his nap. The old codger needs a good wake up call,” Tony told him with a slight laugh before offering a nod and a small wave to Natasha and Yelena. He then headed off to his meeting.

Peter turned to his new gift excitedly, picking it up in his arms and heading over to sit on the couch across from Yelena and Natasha as he inspected it carefully.

Natasha moved her head so that her chin was now resting on Yelena’s shoulder. It was from that vantage point that she suddenly saw how Yelena’s eyes were focused strongly upon the instrument, a great amount of interest in her gaze as she watched the boy and the guitar. Natasha raised an eyebrow, wondering what was going on with Yelena.

“Boy, this is awesome!” Peter cried, and Natasha laughed warmly.

“So, kid, what’s the first thing you’re gonna try to play?” Natasha asked warmly, and Peter smiled somewhat sheepishly at her as a blush started to come onto his face just a little.

“I dunno… Maybe ‘Photograph’ by Ed Sheeran?” Peter embarrassedly told her, and Natasha just chuckled, glancing at Yelena expectantly as she waited for Yelena to make some sort of comment about MJ.

However, to her shock, Yelena seemed to still be absorbed in the sight of the guitar. Natasha shifted her eyes down to Yelena’s hands, noting their movement. Her fingers were clenching at the fabric of her cargo pants just barely, kneading at the fabric. Natasha furrowed her brow a little, wondering what was bothering the girl about the instrument.

“I know just a few chords,” Peter trailed off as he clumsily played the first few notes, his brow furrowed in concentration. Natasha moved her gaze from Yelena to the boy before them, watching him try to decipher the song.

“Hmm… That’s… I’ve almost got it,” Peter expressed, plucking at the strings and wincing quickly when he messed up the tune.

“That’s not it… Okay… Maybe this one,” Peter spoke before going again and trying to get it just right. Once again, it messed up and he frowned a little, trying to figure out what to do.

However, to Natasha’s shock, Yelena suddenly spoke up, moving to get up and out of Natasha’s arms.

“Here… Let me see,” Yelena offered as she stood up from her place with Natasha. Natasha raised an eyebrow, watching the blonde curiously. She scooted up a bit in her seat to better watch the two before her. Yelena sat down next to Peter on the couch, her hands opened to receive the guitar from him.

“You know how to play?” Peter asked curiously, looking at her with confusion in his gaze. When Yelena did not reply, he looked at Natasha with a silent question in his eyes. Honestly, Natasha was just as lost as him as to how Yelena might know how to play. Peter finally handed the guitar to her, and Yelena took it from him easily.

“Just a few chords,” Yelena spoke, finally answering him as she echoed Peter’s earlier statement, and she adjusted the guitar in her hands. She strummed the strings once, getting a feel for them. Natasha tilted her head slightly, watching the younger woman as she positioned herself.

A familiar tune soon began to rise and resound throughout the room, the somehow simultaneously sad and happy song playing intimately in the common room. Natasha’s eyes widened a little, her jaw slackening as she took in her sister’s incredible ability. Everything else faded away as she centered her attention on the younger woman.

Yelena played the beginning of the song for just a moment before reaching the cue where someone was meant to sing, and Natasha watched carefully as Yelena hesitantly cleared her throat, nervousness easily visible on her as she barely flicked her gaze in Natasha’s direction.

“Blackbird singing in the dead of night… Take these broken wings, and learn to fly… All your life… You were only waiting for this moment to arise,” Yelena sang softly, her gorgeous voice ringing through the room quietly yet with a strange strength despite its low volume. Natasha titled her head just a little as she gazed at the blonde, completely dumbfounded as she realized that Yelena’s voice was the most beautiful thing that she had ever heard.

She had not had the pleasure of hearing Yelena sing since they were both little girls. Yelena’s singing was precious and adorable when she was small, but now that she was grown up and had that beautiful, mature-sounding, raspy voice, her singing was absolutely incredible and much more beautiful than any famous singer that Natasha had ever heard.

Natasha felt her heart swelling with pure pride at Yelena’s stunning talent. Yelena’s fingers strummed beautifully across the strings of the guitar, her digits nimbly plucking at them and creating a gorgeous melody that serenaded Natasha’s senses. Natasha could not even close her eyes to enjoy the tune because just the sight of Yelena playing so eloquently was enough to enrapture her.

She honestly wondered how Yelena had even learned how to play guitar. And as she considered that legitimate question, she felt her heart sink just a bit as she realized that she must have learned how to do this somewhere during her time in the Red Room. Natasha knew that they allowed no music in the Red Room, so she could not help but wonder if her sister’s ability to play the guitar was something that had been mission-related training in order to achieve a cover.

“Blackbird singing in the dead of night… Take these sunken eyes, and learn to see… All your life… You were only waiting for this moment to be free,” Yelena gently sang, and her voice suddenly conveyed more emotion as she sang the last bit of the words. She played the guitar for a bit longer, and Natasha remained just as purely enamored despite the slightly dark thoughts swirling in the back of her mind as she watched the performance.

Yelena finally brought her guitar-playing to a stop as her fingers slowed until they were not moving any longer, her hand resting on the guitar as she looked down at it. She hesitantly looked up at Natasha, hope and nervousness in her eyes as she no doubt awaited Natasha’s verdict on her work.

Natasha wasted no time in clapping her hands softly yet rapidly, her heart swelling with love and pride despite the fact that Yelena had likely attained this ability through a less pleasant means than most would have. Yelena could not help her slight grin as she looked down quickly before gazing up at Natasha with her eyes practically glowing with adoration.

Peter quickly joined in on the applause, smiling widely at her as he looked at her with shock.

“Wow, Ms. Belova! That was absolutely incredible!” Peter cried, and Yelena just huffed slightly, looking at him with a slight scold in her eyes. However, her typical expression was somewhat dulled as she looked at him.

“Little Peter, what did I tell you about calling me that?” Yelena asked, and Peter winced a little at her infamous nickname for him.

“To not to,” he replied unhappily. But after a few moments, he piped back up with his previous excitement.

“But seriously, you’re absolutely amazing! Can you teach me?!” Peter questioned excitedly, and Natasha just watched Yelena carefully with all of the love in the world filling her entire being. Yelena chuckled just a little, the strange sadness and nostalgia still seeming to be affecting her. Natasha furrowed her brow slightly, deciding that she was going to get to the bottom of things at some point that day.

“Yeah, I can teach you,” Yelena agreed finally with a slight smile, and Peter grinned excitedly, hugging her quickly. Yelena just huffed, her smile growing exponentially as she returned the embrace fondly. Her affection for the boy was absolutely adorable to Natasha and she thought that Peter was almost like a little brother figure to Yelena.

“Alright, alright, enough of the mush… Let’s start figuring this thing out,” Yelena finally declared, pulling away from the boy and ruffling his hair so that it was a curly mess on his head. Peter waved her hand away, trying to fic his hair, and Natasha could not help her chuckle.

However, for the rest of their time there, Natasha kept her eyes solely locked on her baby sister, her heart simultaneously filled with the greatest pride in the world and the deepest sorrow.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Natasha and Yelena had gotten ready for bed, and Yelena had already headed to her room as per the tradition. Natasha was lying awake in her own room, her eyes closed but her mind quite conscious indeed as she waited for Yelena to sneak into her room as was the case practically every single night that they did not automatically end up in the same bed together.

Soon enough, she heard her door opening just barely, and Natasha fought back to the smile as she heard Yelena quietly pad over to the bedside. Yelena got on the mattress next to her with the lightest shake of the bed, her movements soft and almost silent as she slid underneath the blankets.

Yelena then moved backward so that her back was pressed against Natasha gently. Natasha grinned just a tiny bit at the adorable routine. Natasha wasted no time in snaking her arm around Yelena’s waist, dragging her closer to Natasha’s torso as she pressed a gentle kiss to the girl’s shoulder before resting her chin there.

“Thought I’d snuck past you for sure this time, poser,” Yelena pointed out, and Natasha smirked widely, a chuckle forming in her throat.

“Try harder, little one. You’ll get there one day,” Natasha teased gently. However, her smile fell slightly as she thought back to the events earlier that day. She held back her urge to bring it up immediately and directly as she tried to think through a more tactful way of acknowledging it.

However, to Natasha’s complete surprise, Yelena suddenly began to speak.

“When I was about twenty-two, they sent me on an undercover mission. I was supposed to pretend to be a street performer nearby this major politician’s office,” Yelena explained, and Natasha nodded gently, listening to Yelena’s carefully as she awaited the rest of the story that was no doubt coming.

“A street performer is one of the most noticeable yet unnoticeable people ever. So they decided I was going to spend all of my time outside his building for several days while I waited for my opening. They decided to have me play the guitar for my cover,” Yelena told her carefully, her voice a quiet rumble as she recounted the mission.

“Naturally, I was under mind control the whole time, but even under mind control, we were able to pick up skills if our mind-controlled selves learned them,” Yelena expressed tiredly, and Natasha pressed a gentle kiss to the skin between Yelena’s ear and her cheek, silently expressing her appreciation for Yelena telling her about this.

“But even though it was a skill I learned because of the Red Room and for the Red Room, I still loved it. Playing that guitar even under the mind control seemed to kind of loosen the hold it had over me. I still didn’t have control over myself, but a piece of my own brain came to the surface and I could enjoy the music I played,” Yelena admitted, and Natasha felt her heart aching with Yelena’s words.

They both grew quiet for a moment, Yelena not having anything else to say and Natasha not having anything useful to reply with.

“But that was a while back. No sense in worrying about that now,” Yelena expressed, trying to force some cheeriness in her tone despite the tired slur that was affecting her voice. Natasha let her heart squeeze painfully and she squeezed Yelena’s middle just a bit, pressing another kiss to Yelena’s face.

“I adore you,” Natasha expressed softly, feeling a deep hurt within herself as she uttered the words to the blonde and thought of all the times that she had not been there to tell Yelena that she felt that way when the blonde needed to hear it.

“Thank you for telling me,” Natasha whispered, and Yelena twisted in Natasha’s grasp so that they were face-to-face. Natasha felt her heart melting at the unbridled admiration in Yelena’s eyes. Yelena looked at her for a long moment before moving her head forward and burrowing her face into Natasha’s neck firmly. Natasha wrapped her arms more fully around Yelena, encompassing her in her arms tightly.

“I love you, Natashka,” Yelena expressed, and Natasha kissed the top of Yelena’s head.

“I love you, too.”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

A few days later, Natasha brought Yelena over to sit down on the couch in their little house, Fanny dancing around them as she fed off of Natasha’s excited energy.

“What are you doing, Natashka?” Yelena questioned with a slight laugh as Natasha practically dragged her over. She pushed Yelena’s shoulders so that the blonde was sitting on the couch right in front of her. Natasha smirked a little as she looked down at her baby sister.

“Close your eyes for me,” Natasha expressed, and Yelena just raised an eyebrow with skepticism, but ultimately heeded Natasha’s words, closing her eyes with a slight huff. Fanny shoved her head into Yelena’s hand where it was limply resting on her knees, and Yelena reached out to her, petting her despite her closed eyes.

“Okay. But if you’re pulling some kind of giant revenge prank for all the times I got you, you’re going to be in such huge trouble. I’ve got a doozy planned up that I’ve been just waiting for an opportunity to use,” Yelena smugly spoke, her eyes still shut, and Natasha raised an eyebrow despite the fact that Yelena could not see her.

“No, not a prank. But that is a good idea,” Natasha teased, and Yelena reached out a hand to smack at Natasha’s arm. Natasha laughed a little before reaching out to her, cupping her face in her hands gently and stroking her cheeks with her thumbs affectionately. Yelena leaned into the contact heavily.

“Alright, I’ll be right back. Don’t open your eyes, okay?” Natasha commanded, and Yelena just let out a dramatic sigh.

“Fine,” Yelena replied, following Natasha’s hands longingly with her face as Natasha pulled them away from Yelena.

Natasha then headed into the other room, withdrawing the gift she had gotten for the blonde, and she went into the living room to accompany Yelena once again.

“Are they closed?”

“For now, poser,” Yelena replied, wicked mischief in her voice, and Natasha rolled her eyes before moving to sit next to Yelena.

“Okay, turn toward me,” Natasha told her, and Yelena complied easily. Natasha could see it in the blonde’s fidgeting that she was anxious to open her eyes and see what Natasha had. Natasha felt her heart swell as she looked down at the gift before looking back at Yelena.

“Alright, open your eyes,” Natasha told her, the gift extended toward Yelena. Yelena complied, and her eyes automatically widened as soon as they rested upon the present.

It was a beautiful, shining black acoustic guitar.

Yelena reached out to it with an almost reverent look in her movements as she gaped at the instrument. She reached out and took it from Natasha gently, looking down at it adoringly as she traced her fingers along the neck of the guitar.

Her lips were pulling down in that frown that always told Natasha that the blonde was about to burst into tears. Natasha felt her heart swelling as she looked at her baby sister.

“You like it?” Natasha questioned hopefully, nervous to know whether or not Yelena liked the gift or if she would have preferred a different present. Yelena glanced up at her just barely before moving the guitar behind her. Natasha felt her stomach clench slightly as she looked on with slight worry.

However, all of her worries melted away as she was practically tackled by Yelena as she leapt onto her, her arms wrapping around Natasha desperately as she tried everything she could to get as closely nestled against Natasha as possible. Natasha spread her legs a bit, letting Yelena settle between them as she held Yelena near, her hand cradling the back of Yelena’s head as she rubbed Yelena’s back with her other one.

“I love it… I love you,” Yelena blubbered, barely holding her voice together as she clung to Natasha desperately, digging her fingers in Natasha’s back and squishing her face against Natasha’s neck hard.

Natasha stroked Yelena’s back, moving her hand so that it was underneath her shirt as she gently tickled the soft skin there.

“I love you most.”

Savage Intruder

If you’d like to see how many ways SUNSET BOULEVARD (1950) could have gone terribly wrong, look no further than Donald Wolfe’s SAVAGE INTRUDER (1974, aka HOLLYWOOD HORROR HOUSE). It’s actually SUNSET BOULEVARD with serial killers and a sprinkling of KIND LADY (1935, 1951). A madman is killing older women in Hollywood. Retired screen star Miriam Hopkins breaks her leg in a drunken fall, requiring the presence of a live-in nurse. Guess who turns up for the job? Before long Vic Valance (David Garfield, son of John) has seduced the cook (Virginia Wing) and alienated Hopkins’ secretary (Gale Sondergaard) and housekeeper (Florence Lake, sister of Arthur). And then the killing starts…again. The film is equal parts camp, kitsch, schlock and just plain bad. It was the last released film for Hopkins (as well as Joe Besser and Minta Durfee), and the actress who sparkled while working for Ernst Lubitsch and William Wyler is saddled with a wildly inconsistent character. She transitions from wanting to fire Garfield to adoring him with no visible motivation yet manages to play each different version of the character blissfully over the top. Garfield’s character makes even less sense (he’s traumatized from having seen his mother engaged in orgies with really ugly men). Only Lake and Sondergaard emerge with their dignity intact. At 71, with long black hair, Sondergaard also manages to look absolutely fabulous, but would expect anything less from the only woman to steal a film from Sherlock Holmes?

ABM concept- as a child one time I decided it would be funny to draw on my Dad’s face when he was asleep in felt pen (artist since day one lol) - what if Penny did this to Daniel and he woke up and just went to work like it 😭 or Flora catches him JUST before he walks out the door like ?!? 🤨😅

↳ A/N Oh look take two blurbs back to back

↳ Anything But Mine Masterlist

Thursday, March 2, 2023

At nearly three-years-old, Penelope Magnolia was nothing less than the most adorable, sweet-hearted little girl. She was pure of heart and soul and she could do no wrong in her father’s eyes. He wanted to keep her so small and innocent forever. Yes, Penelope was sweet, but she was also as inquisitive a toddler as any other.

Of course it came to light on a morning where Daniel forgot to set his alarm for work and Penelope woke up in her bedroom to a silent apartment. Like every morning, she tried to entertain herself in her room but was easily bored of her stuffed animals and blocks. At her small table sat a little jar of markers and the little aspiring artist leaned herself over the edge of the table and reached a little hand into the jar. A pretty purple marker came out of it in her fist.

The only issue is that she had no paper. She knew better than to draw on the walls and she knew better than to draw on the furniture but she was in desperate need of something to use. In the silence that the early morning brought, two-and-a-half-year-old Penelope reached up on her tiptoes and opened her bedroom door and shuffled into the hallway and towards her parents’ room adjacent.

The curtains were still pulled and they were both still fast asleep despite the sunlight that leaked through the drapes around the edges. Penelope pitter pattered silently across the wood floors and climbed up on the ottoman at the end of the bed to make it onto the messy warm sheets. The shy little toddler was good at being stealthy and she moved quietly as she crawled up between her sleeping parents and plopped herself down between them.

She had come in to find paper but made an even better connection. She had seen her mother paint colours on her face often and her older sister sometimes mimicked that with her own playthings so Penelope wanted to do the same. What was a better canvas than her father’s face? She was doing him a favour after all, right?

With a dimpled smile, Penelope popped the cap on the purple marker and shifted messily onto her knees facing towards Daniel. Her tongue poked out between her lips as she leaned over him and lowered the felt tip marker to his cheek. With a careful hand, she drew sloppy circles over his warm skin, creating a bit of a mimicked blush on both cheeks as he slept on. Pleased with her work so far, Penelope moved down to his lips and tried to trace them with her marker.

Daniel shifted in his sleep at the touch, huffing tiredly and shifted his head to the side which only caused her marker to drag an angry line across his chin and right down his jaw. Penelope didn’t mind – creative mishaps always happen – and she reached her other hand up to hold his forehead down as she scribbled over his eyelids.

With a wince and a tired groan, Daniel raised his hand up from under the sheets and swatted at the marker cluelessly as he rose from his sleep.

“Mornin’, Dada.” Penelope said sweetly and leaned down to kiss his nose.

Daniel was almost never home when the girls woke up and the presence of his youngest only had his eyes snapping open and his arm flailing out towards his cell phone on his bedside table. It was 7:15am.

“Oh…shit.” Daniel breathed and didn’t even give his toddler a second glance before he was throwing off the sheets and jumping out of bed.

His commotion woke Florence who rolled over and welcomed their daughter’s small body into the crook of her arm habitually as she asked him sleepily, “What’s happening?”

“My alarm didn’t go off. I’m so late.” Daniel answered from the walk in closet as he tugged on a random pair of pants and a hoodie. “I could have sworn I set it last night.”

Florence checked the time on her own phone as Penelope cuddled up against her innocently, “It’s only quarter past, it’s not terrible.”

“No, no. I’m never late. I can’t be late.” Daniel corrected, buckling up his belt as he hurried into the ensuite and only managed to run some water through his hair before he was rushing to find his shoes with his toothbrush in his mouth.

“Tell them I kept you…that the girls needed you.” Florence offered some sort of reassurance as she sleepily cuddled with their youngest and twirled her fingers through her wispy brown waves. In the dark room, she was oblivious to the purple uncapped marker that Penelope was clutching proudly.

“Jack’s never gonna let me live this down.” Daniel said through a mouthful of toothpaste as he came back down the hallway, hopping trying to tie his laces. He turned right into the ensuite and rinsed his mouth and then was back beside the bed. “How do I look? Fine?”

Florence’s eyes went wide as she noticed the hints of dark purple marker scribbled across his face, “Oh- Dani-”

“Pretty, Dada!” Penelope grinned, pointing up at him with one tiny finger.

Daniel didn’t have time to wait for a second opinion as he leaned down to kiss his daughter and then kiss his fiancé, “Great. Love you. See you later.”

Florence only blinked her shocked eyes as the front door closed behind him. Penelope giggled and looked up at her mother with the evidence clutched in her little fist. Florence smiled cheekily and pressed a kiss to her head, “You cheeky little girl, Daddy’s gonna be so embarrassed.”

Daniel made it the whole drive to work and the whole elevator ride up to the floor and the whole way down the hallway without even realizing anything was wrong. He pushed his way into the conference room with a tired sigh and dropped his bag onto the table lined with his managers, producers, and colleagues.

“I’m so sorry I’m late. My…daughters…I…” Daniel was still half asleep and he struggled to even piece together a proper excuse.

Jack’s sudden snort of laughter stopped his sentence short anyway and Daniel looked around the oval table at a few of the expressions of the higher up men who seemed to be holding back their smiles. The first thing Daniel checked was his fly which was done up properly and his outfit which wasn’t great but wasn’t enough of a clash to laugh about and he looked back at the room.

“What?”

“Dude, what’s on your face?” Jack blurted out.

Daniel, confused, took his phone from his back pocket and opened up the front camera to see what the matter was, only to find his face scribbled in purple until he looked like a dilapidated rag doll. He raised his other hand to touch his cheek, “Oh. My gosh. Penelope.”

“If you had an appointment at the makeup studio, we could have book this meeting for another time.” his manager offered and the group around the table laughed loudly.

Just then, his phone buzzed and Daniel glanced back at it to see the text from Florence pop down from the screen,

Penelope tried a new canvas this morning. Little angel beautified you in your sleep. Hit the washroom before your meeting.

Daniel only sighed and slumped down into his chair as his co-workers shared in the early morning laughter.

*hops up and down excitedly* EVER I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ON HERE RN BUT FHDJKSFHA I CAME OUT OF MY CAVE TO SAY SUKKA PLAYLIST!!! DO IT DO IT DO IT I THINK WE ONLY HAVE ONE? ON SPOTIFY WHICH IS A TRAVESTY MAKE ONE PLEASE

BLUE, YOU ARE LITERALLY MY FAVORITE PERSON IN THIS FANDOM. YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL BRAIN. I'M NEVER GOING TO GET OVER THIS ASK.

Footage of me creating this playlist:

Look. You guys know that I love Zutara. But I don't think you all realize that I love Sukka just as much. Their love is so pure and their vibe as a couple is just... *sigh* 💙💚💙💚💙💚 So putting together this playlist was so much fun. I'll put all explanations of songs below the cut because this reply is already long without what comes next (but you should read them because you'll get the full effect of this playlist).

All The Small Things by blink-182

Cross Me (feat. Chance the Rapper & PnB Rock) by Ed Sheeran

I Think He Knows by Taylor Swift

I Like Me Better (Spotify Studios Version) by Lauv

Ho Hey by The Lumineers

Jackie and Wilson by Hozier

Passenger Seat by Death Cab For Cutie

Stand By Me by Florence + The Machine

The Bones - with Hozier by Maren Morris

Yours - Wedding Edition by Russell Dickerson

Send me a playlist title and I’ll give you 5-10 songs I think would go on it!

All The Small Things

She left me roses by the stairs/Surprises let me know she cares

First of all, Suki would. Second of all, I firmly believe that Sokka and Suki would constantly be doing little things to show each other that they care. Sokka would send Suki his drawings and things he's carved for her. Suki would send Sokka little gadgets and pick up fun little accessories for him at the market. They'd leave out snacks for one another. And they would always, always be there to support one another 100% of the time.

Cross Me

Just know, if you cross her, then you cross me

"WHERE. IS. SUKI?"

I rest my case.

I Think He Knows

He's so obsessed with me, and boy I understand/Boy I understand

I love this song for Sokka and Suki because we all know that Sokka throws off major "THAT'S MY WIFE" vibes in regard to Suki. As he should. But if you think that badass, super cool Suki isn't also low-key super into Sokka in the same way you are wrong. She's the type of girl to totally get why he's into her. (Why wouldn't he be? DUH.) But she would also 100% be like, "Check out this hot, goofy genius! HE'S MINE. I LANDED HIM! THAT'S MY HUSBAND!!"

I Like Me Better

To not know who I am but still know that I'm good long as you're here with me//Damn, I like me better when I'm with you

I picked this song because of the influence Suki had on Sokka's character. Their interactions on Kyoshi Island really did change him for the better. Sokka spent so much of the series lost and feeling as though he didn't belong, but Suki brought out the best in him and helped his character evolve. He saw her, this incredible warrior with a heart of gold who wouldn't take his misogynist crap, and started working to be a better person. And I think we can all agree it was awesome to see him come into his own as a strategist and warrior. A large part of that is thanks to Suki. And Sokka would acknowledge that.

Ho Hey

I belong with you, you belong with me/You're my sweetheart

I don't think this choice needs much of an explanation. Just... They belong together, you guys.

Jackie and Wilson

She blows outta nowhere, roman candle of the wild/Laughing away through my feeble disguise/No other version of me I would rather be tonight/And, Lord, she found me just in time//She's gonna save me/Call me "baby"/Run her hands through my hair

Again, I'd like to point back to Sokka and Suki's first meeting. She comes out of nowhere, sees right through him, and it's thanks to her that Sokka changes his views on women (it takes time, of course, and loss, but he gets there). Also, the loss that Sokka experiences with Yue clearly affects his relationship with Suki in Book 2. He has to learn to be comfortable with the fact that Suki can save herself as well as him. And by the time Book 3 rolls around, we see them working together as a seamless team. He knows she has his back and she knows he has hers.

Passenger Seat

When you feel embarrassed/Then I'll be your pride/When you need directions/Then I'll be the guide/For all time

Oh, this song is so subtly Sukka. I hear these specific lines and think of Toph and Aang laughing at Sokka's Suki sand sculpture and Suki being proud of the fact that he even tried. I think of them being each other's compass, guiding light, and level head in stressful situations. They are so steady for and so true to one another. And I'm not crying, you're crying.

Stand By Me

If the sky that we look upon/Should tumble and fall/Or the mountains should crumble to the sea/I won't cry, I won't cry/No, I won't shed a tear/Just as long as you stand, stand by me

I chose this song because of how Sokka and Suki make one another stronger. They bolster each other. They face down certain death in the knowledge that their partner has their back and that's a beautiful thing. (Also, Florence Welch's voice on this track is incredibly emotive and intensifies the Sukka feels.)

The Bones

When there ain't a crack in the foundation/Baby, I know any storm we're facing/Will blow right over while we stay put/The house don't fall when the bones are good

This is my quintessential Sukka song. I always think of them older, maybe ten years after the war, when I hear this song. The two of them are as unshakeable as they've ever been. Was their first meeting great? No. But they grew together and formed something solid and real. I'm not one to advocate for childhood sweethearts or high school sweethearts (which is what they would've been in a "normal" storyline), but my god. These two would've been the teenage sweethearts who made it. They'd still be super into one another at 85 and just as in love as they'd ever been. If they had trials, they would've only pulled through stronger. These are two people who are capable of seeing past first impressions and loving one another for their true selves and... UGH. I LOVE them, okay?

Yours

I was one in a hundred billion/A burned out star in a galaxy/Just lost in the sky, wonderin' why/Everyone else shines out but me//But I came to life when I first kissed you/The best me has his arms around you/You make me better than I was before/Thank God I'm yours

Sokka said it himself: Compared to the others in the group, he didn't feel special because they could all bend and he couldn't. He lost his boomerang and had an identity crisis. That's the boy Suki met on Kyoshi Island--the boy who felt inferior to his little sister and to the Avatar; the boy who had to put on a false facade of bravado because he was scared... The boy who thought that it was a man's job to be the protector. The boy who thought a girl couldn't kick his ass purely because she was a girl.

Our girl ignited that change in him. Sokka knows full well what Suki's influence has done for him and he adores her for it. He's grateful for her impact on his life and he's obviously blown away by the fact that she loves him. You can tell it's the kind of relationship where he realized that if he was going to be worthy of her, he needed to prove it to her because she knew her worth. She wouldn't settle for a guy who thought she was inferior to him--she wanted someone who would see her as an equal. By the end of the series, she's his partner in every respect. He proves to her that he trusts her to have his back, that he trusts her judgement, that he trusts her in general.

Sokka knows that he's the best version of himself with Suki. He would 100% spend the rest of his life in awe of the fact that she loves him and that he's landed this miracle of a woman who has always seen him as an equal--even when he didn't feel equal to anyone else because he couldn't bend.

#ask evergreen #evergreen answers #playlist asks #thebluesunflower44 #sukka #really #read the explanations for each song you guys #get the full Sukka Feels effect #their love makes me so happy #THANK YOU BLUE FOR REQUESTING THIS PLAYLIST #blue and her big beautiful brain #when I got this ask I lost my mind #and I'm still not over it #*cries in sukka*#sukka my beloved

The Decades Challenge ~ 1907 to Early 1909 (Edwardian Era)

Had some time to advance the story for the Kennedy children. I think by the next update, Florence will be a young adult, Donnie will be a teen, and we will be officially ready to enter the 1910s. I am excited but also dreading this decade the most, as the challenge mimics real world events that could mean a lot of drama in this perfect family. A wedding, a war, and some angst is on the way.

The challenge rules state teenagers in this time period cannot "mess around"...I think this qualifies as not "messing around" as I did not use any "mess around" interaction options!

Florence is an adventurous 17 year old girl in 1907, and enjoys taking her bike to the deep forests to read or study.

Her favorite book is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, which Ida gave to her as a birthday gift when she was a little girl.

One day, while getting ready to leave her secret reading spot, she finds out that it is not very secret after all...as a boy about her age is quietly reading his own book on the opposite side of the huge oak tree.

Florence, being somewhat of a jokester, tried to scare the boy out from behind the tree for some lighthearted fun. He just smiled and chuckled at this strange, but funny girl who clearly was still in a world of her own.

They greeted one another, and Florence learned that his name was Albert Marino. He did not go to school like her, but was teaching himself how to read English that afternoon. The hours bleed by, and they ended up cloud gazing, all the while Florence telling Albert about Wonderland, and Alice, and a Cheshire Cat.

Florence and Albert said goodbye once they realized how late it was, and Florence made the long ride back to her home just before curfew. Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months...and they still meet under the oak tree on a regular basis.

After a year of this routine, Florence was shocked to find Albert on her doorstep after curfew! Albert's excuse was that he couldn't sleep unless Florence told him the ending to the book she was chatting to him about during their most recent visit under the oak tree.

Florence laughed and whispered softly, as not to wake the house, that he will just have to wait until next time they meet under the tree to hear the rest of the story.

The neighborhood fox looking at Albert with a knowing look....one that says "Dude, you have it bad."

Edward is the cheekiest Kennedy, and is constantly causing mischief with his other siblings. Ida loves this devilish side, and might even be a little permissive so long as he doesn't cause any trouble.

Edward adjusted to being a big brother much faster than Donnie. He plays with his baby sister when he is not at school, peek-a-boo being a favorite.

And he sometimes visits her during bedtime to tell her stories.

Florence is also a natural caretaker, and loves to give Breena baths, changes her diaper, and burps her after her feedings.

1908 has arrived, and Breena is now a toddler. She may be independent, but she is a huge hugger. Everyone adores the youngest Kennedy, and they often call her by her nickname, Fairy.

Ida has not had to deal with such a mobile toddler since Edward, and always has to look over her shoulder to keep an eye on this independent toddler...

Breena, by far, has the closest attachment to Edward, the second youngest child of the family. They love to roughhouse, and play with each other while their older siblings are playing the violin or off somewhere.

It is now Valentine's Day, 1909. Emmet still knows how to keep the romance alive in his marriage, and gifts her with her favorite flower.

Emmet tells Ida that since the children are old enough to take care of themselves for an evening, he wants to take her out for a date. I think this is honestly the first date this couple has had since...forever.

It is a nice romantic evening out in town, and they are not shy about PDA.

Not even Agnes Crumplebottom could ruin the mood.

Unbeknownst to Ida and Emmet, Florence promised to meet Albert at their secret spot that night, taking the opportunity with her parents away for the evening.

Albert and Florence intended for the evening to be about discussing their latest book, but it quickly turned into them just goofing around...

...and playfully teasing one another...

...until Florence suddenly gives into her intrusive thoughts (not that intrusive Florence, we all know you liked him) and kisses Albert right then and there.

Instead of it being awkward, Albert calmly lifted her hands and gave her a gentlemen's kiss. They did not do anything else that evening besides be in each other's company (no messing around here folks!), but this changes everything.

Note

we’re getting emotional here, but what were the moments you realise your siblings are your siblings? like when were you like, ‘okay this person is now my sibling’?

Awww this is adorable

I did actually legal/biological children, not just the ones that live with us

Dick @not-dick-grayson : it took me a really long time to actually accept Dick and Thea into the housemates because I was so used to being an only child at the time. I think it clocked with Dick when I fell down the stairs when I was like 4 and he immediately dropped what he was doing to help me and I realized he wasn’t there to make me feel bad, he was my big brother

Jay: it took a bit less time with Jay, which I think also had to do with the fact that he was only a year older than me so the age gap wasn’t as big; I was also 12 when he was adopted so there is also the fact that I was more mature than a two year old. I really got the idea that he was my brother when I was 13, and he nearly bashed some kids head in for trying to sexually assault me.

Kit @kit-the-nonbinary-wayne : I’ve been around them my whole life, they were always my sibling

Thea @youngergrayson : like I said, it took me a long time to get used to Dick and Thea. To be completely honest, I hated Thea when she first came to the manor because it was another baby girl (she was 1 and I was 2 at the time) and I thought she would steal my dad from me, which, looking back, was really dumb. Anyway, it really clicked when Thea’s first word was ‘Flo’ and I just thought “oh shit okay she’s my baby sister”

Cass: didn’t take too long, we bonded when we were learning ASL altogether so we could communicate. I had the idea to get her into dance and at her first recital, she said out loud “this is for my family, and my sister Florence” and I swear to god my 16 year old self had to be physically restrained from jumping on the stage and hugging her then and there

Harper: okay, being the same age and having the same sense of style and music, we hit it off almost immediately. Buuuut when we made weapons together she would be reckless and just not give a fuck if i got hurt at first. So the time we both realized we were sisters, not just friends, was when she accidentally burned my arm while fusing something together and asked me if I was okay for the first time.

Cullen: not even gonna lie, me and Cullen are the iconic mlm/wlw duo of the manor, and we really hit it off well as friends when he and Harper first came to the manor. But the first time he went through a really bad breakup and came to me instead of Harper was when it clicked that he thought I was his big sister too.

Tim: I am going to be 100% honest, I despised this boy when he first came to the manor. It was like barely two months after Jason died and I thought dad had brought in a replacement and I hated him for it. But after two years of loathing, he fell asleep on my shoulder and I realized he was comfortable enough around me to sleep and that was when I started to feel like a big sister

Addison @addison-wayne18 : okay, she’s one of the newest and I hated her when she first came too. I had just moved out of the manor and dad hadn’t even bothered to call me once in the five months I was gone, and I go to visit to drop off gala stuff and bam there’s another kid. But yea I’ve accepted that she’s my full blood sister, and that happened when I was kidnapping Talia (our mother) and Addi helped me take her out.

Dami: when he came to the manor, he hated me. He thought I was inferior to him because I was a girl and whatnot. I was 17 at the time and was now used to the big sister role, so I didn’t really know what to do. But I kept trying to bind with him and after months of trying to kill each other: success! I took him to the zoo and helped him steal rescue a tiger and he gifted me with an abandoned jaguar cub

Kathy @kathy-kyle : the newest sibling, pretty used to her by now but I don’t live at the manor anymore so it’s harder to bond with new siblings, but I think I realized she’s actually my sister when she snuck into my house at 3 am because she was about to be kidnapped by the Joker and thought I was the safest place to go

Duke: also relative new, but we bonded during YJ and during a mission when he wouldn’t leave me behind was when we both realized we were siblings now. We also bonded over books.
