Ostara/Spring Equinox Festival Part 2 It starts -> here

Ji Ho's plan was to sing a Siren's Song to make this festival less stressful/awkward for all of them. But before, he made sure that each of them agreed to this. Ji Ho still feels uncomfortable to influence the emotions and actions of his friends. He'd seen his grandfather doing the worst with these songs and he still fears that the Council made his grandfather influence him to put a spell on Vlad so they could get a grip on him and his powers...

The Easter Egg Hunt still goes on: (3) in the pic above (not the egg-like objects on the table). They are a bit hard to find but there are pics incoming where you can see them better. (2) In the pic below.

Ji Ho sang The Kilburn High Road from Flogging Molly. It doesn't matter which song he sings, he can weave his spells into every song.

'Toast to tears of time's past glories This ageless clock chime stalls Where to kiss the lips of that love forgotten To fly where no others have soared'

Arturo is watching them. But why does he look so sad and worried? Does he feel sad for them in general or does he know something we don't know (yet)? ö.Ö'

It's time for the ritual and Arturo gathers them.

Kiyoshi is inaugurating and blessing the sacred wellspring. The visitors will be able to fill their vessels here and take the healing water back to the mundane world to heal those who can't visit the Otherworld. (2)

Then it's finally time for some fun! They divided up into the least awkward groupings. Ji Ho and Kiyoshi, Jack and Jeb and Saiwa and Vlad. And Arturo retreated to celebrate with his husband Chánh. (2) (There are no eggs in the waterballoon bucket ^^')

Omg Ji Ho!

That hurt - but Ji Ho bravely rides it out. He takes it like a pro ^^' But I think Ji Ho doesn't mind to get nailed by Kiyoshi. He had a crush on him since he first saw him ;) (1) Already seen in yesterday's post)

Little Goat and his Bunny lookalike.

Jack and Ji Ho missed Jeb a lot and they are glad they can spend this evening together. They should meet more often to not trigger the happenings that might lead to one/some of them dying in their possible future should they not stay togther ö.ö. But I think they still live close enough (it's just across the bridge) to hopefully avoid it. (3) One of them we've already seen in yesterday's post.

The bunnies are searching for the eggs too 🐇

Valerian: 'Hey Jack! The egg is over there!' Bunny Jack: 'Thanks, Pal!' (They call the bunnies after their simlish alter egos and this one is Jack's because he has the same hide colors/pattern as Jack's horse Lunatic ^^`) (3) (We've already seen two of the eggs in yesterday's post)

TMI: While researching for this song, I found out that there is also a play 'The Kings of the Kilburn High Road'. It's about Six young Irish working men immigrate to London in the early 1970s. Six, like our Boys :]

Siren I (Dark!Thomas Shelby x Reader)

Summary: A new singer has come to Small Heath and has unfortunately enraptured the soul of a big-time, Birmingham gangster...

Warnings: 18+ only, eventual NONCON/DUBCON smut, forced marriage, dark!Tommy, obsessed!Tommy, singer!reader, eventual pinv sex, eventual pregnancy, dark shit will be happening

A/N: Song used ''Young and Beautiful"- Lana Del Ray

Dividers @firefly-graphics Banner @vase-of-lilies

Series Masterlist

Tommy was skeptical when Harry had said he found a singer, the man saying that he needed Grace more for the bar tending than her singing. Harry had said that Grace protested but soon enough shut her mouth once he had found a suitable singer for the pub, someone Harry had said was the daughter of his best friend.

Tommy had been in the snug with his brothers when he heard a woman singing, her voice lulling him in a way that differed from Grace's soft singing.

It intrigued Tommy so much that he stood from his seat, ignoring the looks of his brothers and walking out of the snug to see a woman standing on one of the chairs.

Her voice was hauntingly beautiful as he listened to the song.

I've seen the world, done it all, had my cake now Diamonds, brilliant, and Bel Air now Hot summer nights, mid-July When you and I were forever wild The crazy days, city lights The way you'd play with me like a child

Her hair hung in thick curls and her eyes were drawing him in as lightly swayed as she continued her song, Tommy noted that the other men in the bar were calm as they listened. He never realized how calm a pub full of men could feel even when Grace had been singing away her tunes.

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?

She wore a black dress, a odd color to wear since most of the women here in Birmingham tended to stray away from such a funeral color unless necessary. Tommy took a drag of his cigarette as he went to lean on the bar, listening to the song that felt almost like a sad love letter in a way.

Dear Lord, when I get to Heaven Please let me bring my man When he comes, tell me that you'll let him in Father, tell me if you can

His mind, for once, felt calm like the voices of tunnels were no longer existing in his battle-wounded mind as Tommy ignored Grace's presence. The woman singing felt as if she was one of the mermaid singers drawing him into the sea from his ship, ready to drown him so he could be with her forever.

All that grace, all that body All that face makes me wanna party He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds

Peace was not something Tommy had been granted since the war, using drugs, alcohol, and prostitutes to just get by.

But her voice was drawing him so well and his mind was quiet!

Quiet, can you believe it?

He needed that quiet, he needed her! Tommy brought the cigarette to his lips and inhaled the nicotine as he mind began to unravel as he listened and watched.

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul? I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

He needed to possess her for himself, break her down until all she knew was him and that healing voice singing for her whenever he wanted, whenever he needed.

France had changed Tommy and it wasn't for the better. He wasn't the same man who envisioned himself working with horses and laughing along to the newest joke John had come up with.

Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful? Will you still love me when I'm not young and beautiful?

"Another one, Tommy?" Grace asked, holding the whiskey bottle.

Another song was what he needed and he was going to do whatever it took to have it all to himself.

Her time singing had come to a close that night, Y/N in the back room of the Garrison collecting her purse and lighting a cigarette as Harry came into the room with a small envelope.

" 'Ere you go", he said with a grin. "How's Small Heath holding to your expectations?"

"It's certainly not California", she remarked and he chuckled.

"Ya use to all the sunshine", Harry joked before leaving.

California, specifically Los Angeles, had been her home and before that, France had been her temporary home as she was a nurse during the war.

Coming home had been something of shell-shock for her, she had witnessed blood and guts and heard the screams of men she was treating to coming back home with her mother where she was expected to be normal. She tried for her family's sake, she truly did but in the end, it felt suffocating and thus, her move outside of America.

Collecting her things, Y/N looked inside the envelope at the bills given to her when she heard the door open once again.

"Hello there."

Hi! I want to know your head canons on SLANG! What sort of things to wizards say to sound cool or evoke thoughts or feelings? What sayings might they have? Do we maybe have any in common with them?

We know that “to have a hairy heart” means to be aloof or cold. (Fm Tales of Beedle the Bard)

I once read a very compelling headcanon that Americans would never use no-maj (for non-magical) as a term cuz they like to shorten things so much, and so American wizfolk would use either ‘noma’ or ‘nomie’. As an American I agree tbh.

I hc that the Hogwarts motto “Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus” [never tickle a sleeping dragon] to be a kind of slang for “don’t do that”.

Like, your friend is getting ready to sneak out of her dorm to go see a guy even though she knows Peeves has been feisty lately. “….Draco dormiens, Molly,” you whisper as she sneaks out the door.

Yeah! Any thoughts?

I love this, and I definitely think there are wizard versions for some common phrases we have (and we actually see some in the books). In my fic I try to add magical variations of phrases to make the world feel more real.

I'd say which shortened version of no-maj would be said would depend on where in the US the wizard is from. I imagine some areas would say "noma" some would say "nomie" and I'm sure there would be other variants. I think it'll just really depend on location.

But most of the idioms and slang I have headcanons for are for the UK.

Some examples I've written into my fic:

Hit him like a bludger - would mean having a strong emotional reaction, like "hit like a ton of bricks"

You look like a dementor’s got you - generally to mean one looks upset or down.

Eating away at his brian like the Fwooper’s song - to mean something is occupying your thoughts, but like, to obsessive levels.

I also like the idea of:

"Confunded" - being used as the word "befuddled"

"Demiguise" - used to the same as calling someone a wallflower, since they become invisible.

"Keep the egg under the toad" - references the process of breeding a basilisk, which is illegal. Means to keep something quite or on the downlow.

"Are you yanking my wand?" - used like saying "are you joking me?" and is an extension of the saying "yanking your wand" that appears in Deathly Hallows.

"Polishing your wand" - is a real thing Cedric and other wizards apparently do, but I am convinced it also refers to jerking off.

"Until the Jobberknoll sings" - kinda like "it isn't over until the fat lady sings", since a Jobberknoll only sings on the moment it dies.

Similarly, saying "Joberknoll song" instead of "Swan song"

"Swearing like a Jarvey" - Like "Swearing like a sailor" since Jarveys are known for being rude and swear a lot.

I have a few more I wrote/thought of, but these are some off the top of my head.

There is also this wiki page that has a list of wizard idioms used in Harry Potter and it's extra semi-canon content (like the video games and pottermore). I don't consider all of this list canon, but there are some I like there, like:

Breed like gnomes (From DH) - meaning breed like rabbits and said by Muriel about the Weasleys

Different kettle of Grindylows (from Hogwarts Legacy) - like saying "different kettle of fish" or "another can of worms"

Dodged a bludger - like "dodged a bullet"

Don't count your owls before they are delivered (from HBP) - like "don't count your chickens before they hatch"

The fire's lit, but the cauldron's empty (from DH) - like "the lights are on, but nobody's home"

I could eat a Hippogriff (from GoF) - like "I could eat a horse"

I'll take Cadogan's pony (from pottermore) - roughly means to make the best of a bad situation

Knockturn Alley's litter epidemic (from GoF) - means something obvious/boring

Yanking your wand (from DH) - means to joke around.

Anyone who has more of these wizard common phrases headcanons, feel free to add more!

spring:

in 2024 you will begin to feel indifferent about your current career lifestyle. you will notice that you need help and guidance when it comes to being overloaded with work and responsibilities. this will lead to getting new ideas on how to manage your work, not being all by yourself with it anymore. you are also going to find a new hobby, something that has been interesting you for a while but you have been too afraid to try. dont be scared to try something new, I see that youre scared of the judgement and would rather hide that passion of yours, its time to let go and free yourself from peoples expectations.

summer of 2024 is going to take a wild turn. someone new will come in, if youre in a relationship already your connection will deepen greatly. a chapter of your life and people in it will be left behind in order to fulfill this. you will be way more confident in yourself, not only when it comes to work but also when it comes to your emotions. I see you embracing the tower moment because you know the storm won't last long. your inner masculine will awaken and dominate during this period.

fall:

during the times where the leafs fall, you will be thinking of changing things up a notch. you will be pondering a lot about what kind of future you want to have. youre being encouraged to not fall down the rabbit hole of constantly being in your own head during this time. I see here that you will spend time with friends, but also with yourself a lot. be good to yourself and dont underestimate your power.

winter:

you will be entering winter with a lot of romance and passion, you and your destined person will take a step further during this time. this might take up some restless nights and make you anxious about commitment with this person. you will have to make the decision, whether or not you are ready for it, I see that deep down you are but your worries blind your vision. know that success is within you, you just have to take the path to find it.

an animal that might be of significance: horse

spring:

the spring of 2024 will bring a rapid change. you will be influenced a lot, but will have to find the strength and courage to go your own way. a lot of people will be removed from your life during this time, this will be a good change. it might be hard at first, go easy only yourself and remember that the universe sends and removes people from or into your life for a reason, some stay for a season and some for a lifetime. the ones that no longer serve you will disconnect from your energy.

summer:

fall:

during fall, the universe will send you to your right path after seeing how much you've been in your head. they will send you information that will spark a light of hope in you, this will lead to you finally embracing confidence and taking the steps you were too scared to take before. the exhaustion from life will be gone during this time, its a good period to go above and beyond without taking on a too heavy load.

winter:

the winter time will be nostalgic for you, a lot of people from your past will come towards you to reconnect. this will be a hard decision for you to make, since some might not have treated you the fairest. you will need to go inside and check on yourself, what do you want? is it worth to risk another heartbreak, or will they finally treat you right? these will be questions following you during those times, be cautious but remember that you are a divine being, you will know what to do when the time is right.

in 2024, you will finally free yourself. you will find ways to move forward and close the chapters that no longer serve you in the current times. I see you taking care of yourself a lot, being with the people you love and leaving behind the ones that have caused chaos in the past. financially, it's looking really good in spring. some fortune is on its way, maybe in ways you didn't expect it to come towards you.

summer:

during summer, I see you taking that financial gain to help people in need, your empathy peaks during this time a lot because you will notice how life has been giving you great fortunes. people will see you as a higher status after this, this could have pros and cons but nevertheless, you will have helped someone. this will grant them, but also you, happiness and fortune. remember that what you give to the world, you receive back twice as big.

fall:

fall is looking romantic and cozy, a deep emotional connection will be formed during these times. you will both take parts in healing each other, this could be past wounds or insecurities you carry around when it comes to love. this will help you regain your perspective on how you want to be treated and how you want to treat the ones you love. your love life is going to evolve to a higher status.

winter:

winter will bring similar energy, like the one you had in spring. this will be your final realization, a moment of light finally showing you the way. you and your person will make harsh decisions, but this will work out for the two of you in very good ways. the carefree energy combined with the fortune could be alarming, but for the most part it is actually the way you have always wanted to be.

CowboySihtric! x Reader

Your heels clicked as you rushed down the pavement, you sighed and watched your breath rise in the cold evening air. 

Fall was coming in fast in the city and the air was chilly. 

You pushed open the heavy door of the upscale restaurant and a loud “Here she is!” caused all the attention to fall on you.

“Finally!” Aldhelm muttered, coming forward to kiss you on the cheek and help you out of your coat.

“I’m so sorry!” you announced to the room, and to Aldelm at the same time “A meeting ran over but I’m here now!”

A drink was placed in your hand and you began to mingle. 

You and Aldhelm had just closed a massive deal which you had been working on for weeks now and finally the client had agreed to sign to your firm. 

Tonight was about wining and dining him to sweeten the deal.

While you were very happy with the money and name this client was bringing to the table you were less than happy about the man himself. More than once he had slid his hand up your leg during business meetings or let his hand linger a little too far down your back when he ushered you into a room, and while you were forced to let it slide in your pursuit of signing him, it made you ensure an invite for Aldhelm tonight so you wouldn’t have to face him alone. His real name was Harry but he went under the alias Aethelwold, something he insisted on being called even by those who knew him. 

He was reptilian-like and you wouldn’t trust him as far as you could throw him, but with all the time you had spent so unfocused at the ranch you really needed this deal.

The night wore on and the drinks were flowing, many of your team, including Aldelm were drunk and your own head was spinning.

“So tell me,” Aethelwold sneered, sliding up beside you “How does it feel to ride a cowboy?”

You whirled in shock and he laughed “Oh come on all the girls in the office were talking about it,” he continued “If he's used to breaking in horses, surely breaking in a woman like you was no work at all.”

By instinct you went to slap him across the face, but he caught your arm, “Save that for when I’m breaking you in,” he winked and you pulled out of his grasp and made a beeline for the door, sharply inhaling the cold air, forcing yourself to calm down.

Aldhelm followed you right out “Are you okay? What did he say?” 

You shook your head and he pulled you to him, you inhaled his deep, calming scent and locked your arms around him as he whispered “He's nothing but a pig.”

“Let's get out of here! ” you laughed and he nodded, before you continued.

“But don’t ever leave me on my own with him again,” you whispered and he straightened in an instant “Not tonight, not ever.”  

You and Aldhelm had stopped at another bar up town and threw back drinks as you talked and as you stumbled out into the night air to hail a taxi you really underestimated how drunk you were. 

You stumbled into your apartment and collapsed down on the sofa.

“Come on,” Aldhelm laughed, almost collapsing down on top of you, “Come on you can’t sleep here.”

“Just leave me!” you whined dramatically.

“Damn it y/n,” he laughed “At least take your shoes off,” he sighed when he realised you were too drunk to do it yourself and so he slid one shoe off at a time, placing them gently down on the floor.

You were almost out for the count and he decided to carry you across your apartment to your room.

“The things I do for you,” he sighed affectionately, pulling the blankets up around you as he set you down. He switched out the light and was just about the tiptoe across the room when he heard your small voice.

“Stay with me?” you pleaded into the dark and he stilled all actions, heart thumping in his chest “I don’t want to be on my own. Stay with me?”

The logical part of his brain told him to keep going, to walk out the door and leave it be. But the heart that had been in love with you for years, hammered violently in his chest and urged him to stay.

“I’ll sleep on the couch. I’ll be here when you wake up.”

“No,” you pleaded, scooting over in the bed “Stay with me. Here.” 

He self-consciously stripped down to his underwear, and climbed unsure into bed beside you. You hummed turning into him and laid your head on his chest, and he was praying to god that you couldn’t feel his heart beating a million miles out of it. You snuggled into him a few times getting comfortable until your breathing evened out slow and gentle, and for a few minutes he thought you were asleep until you muttered something in your sleep that made him still all actions and made his heart sink right down to his toes….

“Sihtric.” 

When you woke up in the morning, you were almost startled to find a hungover Aldhelm on your sofa.

“You stayed here last night?” you asked softly.

“You don’t remember?” he asked with an expression you couldn’t quite place.

“I don’t remember leaving the bar,” you said after a few moments.

“I put you to bed and you asked me to stay so I slept here.” He lied.

“I asked you to stay? My god I’m so sorry Ald,” you groaned plopping down at his feet as he scooted up to make room for you, you covered your face with your hands, “Did I do anything embarrassing?” you were almost afraid to look at him and he laughed, “No you fell straight asleep and I slept here.”

It was another lie but much kinder than telling you what had actually transpired. Kinder to you and to his heart. 

In mid November Finan rang and insisted you should come and spend Christmas with him and Eadith, and you took a look around the office, all your employees were heading home to their families, even Aldhelm had made plans to fly back to his family for the holidays.

“I’m not sure Finan,” you sighed into the receiver of your office phone, “Will he be there?”

Finan took a long sigh and you could just tell he was tugging on his beard “It was like this last time too, she um, she doesn’t really let us see him very often.”

“Oh,” you said sadly.

“Please,” he begged and you laughed, relenting “Fine. Fine, I will spend the holidays with you!” 

You heard Eadith cheering in the background and couldn’t help the smile that spread across your face.

That night in bed you couldn’t stop thinking over Finan’s words, Sihtric was being kept away from his friends and you worried for him. His friends were the family he never had but then again, she was his family now, they had had a little girl they called Sara, Gisela had broke the news to you a month or so ago and maybe he was okay with just focusing on his own family now. 

You were in the boardroom giving a huge presentation to your investors with figures and projections for the next year, as well as covering targets hit and missed for this one. You had a lot of arselicking to do to make up for the few months you went awol on the ranch and you had been working on this presentation for weeks, but you knew signing Athelwold and the money he had already injected into the business was sweetening the deal ever so slightly. 

Aldhelm caught your attention from the glass door outside whilst you were finishing up your last point. He was waving his arms around trying to beckon you out and you flicked your eyes at him to shoo but he was relentless.

You picked up copies of the projections for next year and passed them around the room, “I will give you a chance to have a look over these figures and I will open the floor up to questions, in just a few minutes, if you will just excuse me for a moment.”

You rushed outside and almost shoved Aldhelm down the hall, it was only then you could hear the giggles coming from the desks.

“There is a cowboy in the bullpen,” Aldhelm hissed and you rounded the corner to see where Sihtric was stood, gaze fixed on the floor, looking utterly lost, like a fish out of water, cowboy hat in hand and you felt faint.

“Not now,” you cried, looking back towards the boardroom, “I can’t do this now. Can you please stick him in my office? I’ll deal with him after this meeting.”

“Are you going to be okay?” Aldhelm asked and you shook your head quickly “No, but I’ll have to be.” 

The blood rushed in your ears as you began the short walk to your office, your heals clicked almost in time to your heartbeat, but you still heard the hushed whispers and eyes on you from the girls in the office. As soon as you made it to your door you looked in and found Sihtric slumped with his head in his hands on the leather two seater in your office, cowboy hat sat beside him on the empty space.

As soon as the door swung open he stood to attention, his huge mismatched eyes shot up to yours for just a second before he looked back to the floor in shame again.

“Sihtric, what are you doing here?” you asked coming to rest against your desk and you watched him struggle to find the words. You were briefly reminded of the Sihtric you had known as a child, the one who could never meet your eye, the one who stumbled over words and said the wrong things and who flinched when anyone made any sudden movements. This was a far cry from the Sihtric you had left behind a few months ago.

“I - needed you,” he rushed before he shook his head “I needed to see you.”

“Have you been drinking?” you asked softly, trying to come up with some reason for his meekness but he shook his head still refusing to meet your eyes.

“Sihtric, look at me,” you said softly and he shook his head again, and as you made to take a step towards him he lifted his hands up in surrender and in an attempt to halt your movements.

His eyes landed on yours and beneath the shame and tears you gasped at the remnants of the black eye that surrounded his left eye.

“Sihtric.” you cried, heart breaking in your chest as you moved carefully to him and cupped his face in your hands as you inspected his eye “Did she do this to you?” you demanded, forcing the bile down your throat so you wouldn’t be sick.

He nodded so gently you would have missed it if you weren’t holding his face in your hands. 

You whispered his name again in disbelief and pulled him to you, feeling him shake like a leaf in your arms.

It took a while and most of your office had emptied out before you finally got what had happened out of him. It started off slow at first, threatening to leave in the middle of the night, telling him their child wasn’t his, isolating him from his friends, breaking his things, breaking things around the house and finally laying hands on him. “She’s done it our whole relationship,” he cried “and I put up with it for so long the first time because I loved her. But this time was different. I didn't love her.. I loved you. And you- You would never do this to me.”

“Never,” you whispered in confirmation.

“But it wasn't enough to make me leave,” he cried.

“Because of Sara?” you asked softly and he looked at you ashamed, but nodded. 

“She's not even mine,” he sighed after a while. 

“How do you know she's not yours?” you tried. 

“The day she gave me this,” he pointed to his black eye “Was because I looked through her phone when she was in the shower,” he fumbled for his phone out of his pocket and handed it over to you so you could see exactly what he had found.

Messages between her and another man, who was evidently Sara’s real father “Take him for everything he’s worth,” one of the messages read and you swore under your breath in shock. 

“She came slinking back, because she heard of your Grandfather's death, she assumed the ranch was mine.”

“Sihtric I am so fucking sorry,” you cried squeezing his hand and staring in disbelief at the messages you were reading, and then your eyes landed on one message in particular that had you reeling “She’s out of the picture, and it was easier than expected.”

Sihtric saw what you were reading and took another deep sigh, “It was never about Sara, the reason I chose her-that day you walked in on us,” he looked so small and ashamed that you wanted to scoop him up in your arms and never let go “She threatened to harm you. Threatened to ruin your business, your reputation and I couldn’t let that happen. I know how hard you’ve worked to get where you are, what you sacrificed- I couldn’t let her do that to you. I couldn’t let her hurt you. You’ve been through enough.” 

You were almost blinded by tears as you pulled Sihtric to you and his arms locked around you as you cried together, you weren’t sure how long you stayed locked like that but if felt like an eternity. 

“Listen to me,” you urged once again cupping his face, gently stroking his cheek so not to hurt him, “Thank you for coming to me with the truth but I promise you, I will never let that woman hurt you ever again. I’ve got you now you’re safe.”

You fumbled with your keys to your apartment as you let yourself and Sihtric in, running around to switch on lamps while he took in your apartment with wide eyes. You knew what he was thinking, this was fancier than anywhere he’d ever been, and then his eyes were back on you in your slinky black dress and heels, a far cry from the small town, ranch girl you were back home.

“Sihtric. I’m still me. None of this shit matters, it’s just stuff-” you said gesturing around your apartment and to the clothes you were wearing,you laughed and then he laughed too, and you showed him into the bathroom so he could shower while you ordered take out. 

When he emerged from the shower, his hair falling down in damp loose curls, in track pants and a white t-shirt your mouth went dry.

You too had changed into your pyjamas and let your hair down free, as Sihtric came to join you on the sofa you passed him a cold beer, you poured yourself a glass of wine and informed him that food was on the way.  

“This place suits you,” he finally admitted after a few moments of comfortable silence.

“Thank you, I used to think so,” you smiled shyly and his eyes were on you again.

“But to me you will always be the girl I fell in love with in the desert.” 

“Oh, she’s still here,” you laughed, taking a gulp of wine. “I just dress her better.” 

You were interrupted by your doorbell and you went to collect the food, plating everything up and bringing it back into your living room, where Sihtric was laying back on the sofa, staring up at the ceiling, he looked exhausted and you placed his plate gently on his lap.

You both ate gladly in silence with some game show playing on the tv in the background and occasionally Sihtric would laugh along to something, but your mind was swimming.

You wanted to track her down and hurt her for hurting Sihtric. For tearing you both apart when you so deserved to be happy together, for almost ruining it all.

And it wasn’t until Sihtric called your name that you realised that your phone was ringing. 

You froze for a moment when you saw Aldhelm’s name light up before you answered.

“There she is,” he sang when you answered and you could barely hear him over the background noise..

“Aldhelm, are you drunk?” you teased.

“Very,” he laughed and then hesitated, “Can I come over?” You frowned and turned to look at Sihtric who had the decency to pretend he was focused on the show and not listening to the conversation at hand.

“I’ve already got company Ald,” you admitted softly and the line went silent for a moment.

“The cowboy?” he said eventually.

“Sihtric,” you corrected and his anger flared.

“I know his name. You say it in your sleep, did you know that?” he threw and you shrunk a little, because no, you didn’t “So what he turned up all puppy eyed, and just like that it’s all back on?”

“No, it’s not like that,” you tried to defend, but Aldhelm was agitated.

“It’s fine. No really it’s fine,” he sighed “Just do not expect me to be around to pick up the pieces this time when it all goes to shit again!” 

“Aldhelm,” you cried genuinely upset at his outburst.

“You really don’t know do you?,” he sighed “That I’ve loved you for six years, but I never even got a look in because of him.” 

Your heart was pounding in your chest, as you were being forced to confront something you had only suspected.

“Ald,” you pleaded “Please let’s talk about this when you’re sober?”

Aldhelm softened at your plea but you could hear that his heart was broken “You still love him, after everything. Why? Why can’t it be me?” he cried and you bit the inside of your cheek.

“I'm so sorry,” you cried honestly “But it's only ever been him,” you admitted it so softly but Sihtric still turned his head to look at you and you couldn't make out his expression. 

The line was silent for a few moments and then Aldhelm sighed long and sad “I’ll let you go.”

“Ald,” you said softly “I promise we will talk about this, I love you,”

“Just not in the way I need,” he sighed and the line went dead. 

Sihtric didn’t ask about the call so you finished eating in silence and poured yourself another glass of wine. You could feel a headache coming on and were more than ready to call it a night.

Sihtric leaned back against the sofa and ran his hands down his thighs, you rose and  cleared the plates away and Sihtric’s eyes slipped closed.

“You want to sleep?” you asked softly and he nodded, stretching out his legs to lie flat on the sofa. You grabbed a few blankets and pillows and ushered him up just long enough to make the bed, before he collapsed back down exhausted. You brushed a stray curl off his forehead and pressed a kiss to his forehead. 

“Night Sihtric.”

“Goodnight sweet one,” he mused, eyes already closed and breathing evening out. 

You tossed in bed, despite the pain in your head. You couldn't sleep. 

Sihtric turning up out of the blue, Aldhelm’s confession, and you couldn't stop picturing the purple bruise around Sihtric’s eye, and the burning hatred you felt for the woman who had put it there. 

Your eyes filled with tears at the thought of someone hurting him like that, you sighed, turning over, as your bedroom door opened and the warm light of the living room lamps crept into your dark room.

Sihtric stood sheepish at the door, scratching at the back of his neck.

“I can’t sleep,” he muttered and you replied that you couldn’t either.

Without a word you scooted over in the bed and made room for him, he closed the door and gingerly made his way into the bed beside you.

“I can’t stop thinking,” he said after a while, “In my whole life, everyone that I’ve ever loved-You’re the only one who has never- the only one who has never laid a finger on me.”

“Sihtric,” you cried, rolling over to cuddle into him.

Sihtric still bore the scars Kjartan gave him, both the visible ones and the ones that ran much deeper than that. There was a scar on his cheek that made him incredibly self conscious but you had kissed it more times than you could count,to remind him he was beautiful, but it killed you to think that in his adult life someone would inflict that kind of violence on him again.

“You’re safe with me,” you whispered looking up at him through your lashes, and the electricity that swept through you both when he looked back down at you was palpable. 

“Did you mean what you said earlier on the phone, that it's always been me?”

You swallowed and nodded gently. 

“And he's in love with you? “ he guessed correctly “Y/N I don't want to get in the way of that-if you're happy. “

You hooked your fingers under his chin and forced him to look into your eyes. “There's only you,” you told him honestly, closing the distance to kiss him gently, and he responded immediately, flipping you over onto your back, and settling between your legs. 

“This time,” he promised, there's not a bus or woman in the world that's going to make me give you up again.”

It was needy and it was passionate, and when Sihtric pinned you down you were happy to be trapped in his arms. In fact it was all you had thought about ever since you left the ranch. Late at night conjuring up the day he took you out into the desert and made love to you on a picnic blanket. The way the muscles in his arms flexed, or the taut muscles in his stomach moved when he moved had your mouth go dry. 

Sihtric’s thrusts were becoming harder and sloppier as he was reaching his climax and you managed to wrangle your hands free to run them up his chest and up into the loose curls at the nape of his neck, you tugged a handful of them in your fingers and he hissed but the hungry smile of his face told you to tug harder so you did, eliciting the most delicious grunt you had ever hear him make as he fell apart. 

When he collapsed down beside you, spent, you knew that neither of you would have any issue sleeping now, and as sleep was beginning to overtake you, you heard him whisper into the night. 

“I love you.”

You didn't care if it was too much, or too soon because truth be told you'd been waiting to hear those words ever since you climbed on the bus that took you miles out of this very man's life. 

“Gods, I love you too Siht.”

You cried waving Sihtric off in the airport, It was two weeks until Christmas and you promised him you would be home for the holidays.

It had been nice to have him wrapped up in your arms again and to experience little things like cooking and eating together and watching those silly little game shows that he loved in the evenings but he needed to get back to the ranch and you were in the busy period of closing up for the holidays, and so you drove back to your apartment alone.

The conversation had been flowing as they sat in the booth, music playing on the jukebox and Finan carried over a round of drinks for the table.

“Are you finally going to tell us where you disappeared to?” Osferth joked and Sihtric who had been quiet all evening finally decided it was time to tell his friends the truth of what had happened with his ex, the blackmail, the abuse, Sara not being his, the whole spiel, and finally how he had flown to see you. He focused on his pitcher the whole time, unable to meet their eyes, and when he finished there were a few beats of silence.

“Why didn't ya tell any of us? We would have got you out of there.” Finan asked, hurt laced all over his face. 

“I was ashamed,” Sihtric replied, barely able to meet his friend's eye. 

Uhtred was suddenly out of his seat and marched over to close the distance between him and Sihtric, he gripped Sihtric around the back of his neck with one hand. 

“You listen to me,” he commanded, voice shaking “You have nothing. Nothing. To be ashamed of.”

Sihtric’s eyes were glistening and he finally nodded in Uhtred’s hands before his friend pulled him into a deep hug.

“She thought the ranch was mine. She smelled dollars where there were none,” Sihtric eventually said with a dry laugh, and Osferth perked his head up.

“But the ranch is yours?” he said confused and Sihtric’s puzzled face, puzzled him in turn.

“Y/n signed everything over to you,” Osferth told him honestly “She left an envelope on the table of her cabin, we finalised it all the day before-” he stopped in his tracks as he realised it was the day before his ex had come back and blown his whole life apart. “But the ranch is yours,” he finished. 

Sihtric’s head was swirling, he hadn’t been able to go into your grandfather’s cabin since you left, it was too painful and it reminded him of the weeks he’d spent with you, so he had been none the wiser of your parting gift to him.

Finan slumped back in his chair and shook his head, and Sihtric’s heart was thumping in his chest, why hadn’t you told him?

“I don’t deserve her,” Sihtric eventually said softly and Uhtred interjected.

“You do! It’s always been you for each other since we were kids and I swear to god I will personally not let anything get in the way of your happiness ever again.”

“Me neither,” Finan agreed, “Look Sihtric, that is your girl.You two belong together.” 

Sihtric couldn’t help the shy smile that broke out across his face because you always had been and always would be his girl.

“Sihtric wait for me!” you cried as he was a little way ahead of you, and you were a bit more unsteady on your feet.

“Come on Mama,” a little voice called and your heart swole with happiness.

“Give her a chance buddy,” Sihtric scolded “Mama is carrying your little sister in there too,” he smiled affectionately, running a hand across your swollen tummy when you reached him.

“How are my girls doing?” he cooed, and you swatted his hand away with a laugh.

“Sihtric, we don’t know that this one is a girl.”

“I do,” he announced confidently and in three months time he would be proven right when you pushed a beautiful baby girl out into the world.

“Come on!” your little boy shouted, taking off his cowboy hat to see better as he took to running again.

“Where are we going anyway?” you giggled as Sihtric took his hand in yours again, smiling in a way that told you he wasn’t going to give anything away.

There was a picnic blanket laid out on the lush summer grass and you couldn’t help the smile that burst out across your face as you scooped your son up into your arms “So this is where you both disappeared to this morning,” you mock scolded peppering kisses all along his tiny face as he squealed with laughter.

But when you spun him back around, Sihtric was down on one knee, you almost dropped your little boy in shock when you realised and the tears were coming before he had even asked the question.

“I’ve loved you my whole life,” he began, “Even when I didn’t have you, I loved you.”

“Sihtric,” you cried as your little boy went to stand beside him.

“You’ve given me a beautiful home, beautiful children and now it’s my turn to give you something, my mama’s ring and my last name if you’ll have it. If you’ll have me.”

“Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes!” you cried, pulling him up and flinging yourself into his arms, kissing any part of his face your lips could reach as he slid the ring onto your finger.

And he repeated the phrase he told you on the night you turned up at his cabin in nothing but your nightdress “I will always want you.”

tis the damn season 5k by @wildflower-daydreamer

Every year, Sansa comes back to her small hometown of Winterfell for Christmas. And each year, she and Jon fall into their old routine for her short stay. This year would be no different. Okay, maybe a little different. Inspired by the song 'tis the damn season by Taylor Swift. corresponding gif

Mistletoe Merriment 4k by @geekprincess26

Theon Greyjoy loves kissing pretty girls, so naturally he loves breaking out the mistletoe and spiked punch every year at the Starks' annual Christmas party. And every year, the girl he kissed the prior year shows up with an awesome new boyfriend - every girl except for Sansa Stark, who ends up with slimy, pathetic gits. Theon will have to go to ridiculous lengths, not to mention risk the legendary wrath of Jon Snow, in order to get Sansa the boyfriend she deserves. But he'll do it, because Theon Greyjoy is a loyal friend - and he'll never let a stupid sprig of mistletoe get the better of him.

When the Grinch Met the Redhead 1k by @yenstarkofrivia

the one where Sansa likes to sing Christmas songs at 3am and Jon is a miserable Grinch

merry and bright 27k by @cellsshapedlikestars

ex-child star Sansa Stark is in desperate need of money and takes a role in a Hallmark Christmas movie, filming in the mountain resort town of Wintertown, Vermont. There, Fire Chief Jon Snow is on set to oversee safety regulations. Sansa hates Christmas and she hates small towns, but a casual fling with a rugged local fireman might be just what she needs.

She had never put Jon and Christmas together, but now she thinks she'll never be able to separate them. or, four Christmases, three midnight excursions, two angry siblings, and one boy at the center of it all

Be My +1 47k by @vivilove-jonsa

Seven months after she attended a wedding with her brother's work colleague (and gave him a tipsy, unrequited kiss when he walked her to the door), Sansa Stark finds herself in the unenviable situation of desperately needing a date for her prep school reunion at a ski resort which will also be attended by her ex-boyfriend/boss's son, Harry Hardyng and her Former-BFF/Frenemy, Margaery Tyrell.

The Best Christmas Present (Is You) 3k @foreverreadingbeautifulbooks

Every year the Starks and honorary Starks spent the week of Christmas in the most northern of the lodges they owned. No guests were allowed to visit the lodge during that week and it was the one time a year where no one in their family was allowed to work. Everyone hung out, played in the snow, skied, baked, ate lots of food, and simply enjoyed being together. It was refreshing to spend so much time with her family since she felt like she’d barely seen them this last year. But, if Sansa was honest, after five days of hanging out with them nonstop, she’d been looking forward to spending a little bit of time by herself. Every year on Christmas Eve, while her mom and dad picked out the tree, Bran would play chess with their neighbor’s son, Lyanna - who was notorious for buying gifts at the last minute - went shopping, Arya and the rest of the boys would challenge each other to skiing contests, and Sansa would take that opportunity to have her own private holiday celebration indoors. She would warm up some hot chocolate, turn up her Christmas playlist, and snuggle down in some blankets to wrap all of her Christmas presents. But not this year. This year she was stuck with Jon Snow and his broken ankle.

the perfect gift for christmas for me would be 5k

“Be my boyfriend,” Sansa says. Jon's eyebrows raise, and she amends, “My fake boyfriend." or, Sansa, Jon, and fake dating for the winter holidays.

The Nightmare Before Christmas 3k by @ladysalvatore3

Sansa Stark was far from being perfect; she occasionally forgot to put the lid back on the toothpaste, she was constantly arriving late to places, she didn’t know how to change a tire or had any idea of what path her life was going to take, but there were three things that Sansa was absolutely sure about. She loved to write. Christmas was the best holiday ever. She hated Jon Snow.

'Tis the Damn Season 4k by @justhereforfandomandfriends

Four times Jon doesn’t ask Sansa to stay, and the one time he does. Sansa Stark was sneaking out of her childhood bedroom to sleep in Jon Snow's bed. If you'd told teenage Sansa, she'd have laughed in scorn (but she’d have flushed too). Twenty-nine year old Sansa was almost used to it. By now, it was practically a tradition, and there was nothing Sansa loved more than holiday traditions. corresponding moodboard

when the snow falls and the white wind blows 10k

Sansa Stark and Jon Snow had never been particularly close, but since her brother died and the two moved to the same city they have been spending more time together. Sansa tells herself Jon sees her as the little girl who lived in the house beside his. Jon tells himself Sansa sees him as nothing more than her brother's best friend. But when the two are snowed in on the way back home for Christmas, their thoughts change.

Who's coming to you tonight? 1k by @kissed-by-circe

“So you want me, me and no one else, to dress up as Nikolaus and bring wee-“ his mind scrambles as he tries to remember the boy’s name, because Arya only uses pet names for him, and he doubts that her sister named her child Woolfling, Dr Snuggles, or Baby-Bear, “wee… Ar- Artos some candy, and tell him that he’s been naughty?” Arya forces Jon to play Nikolaus for her lil nephew, and somehow forgets to mention that singlemom!Sansa is really really hot

Two years ago, Arya turned up on Jon and Sansa’s doorstep and left after a single, soul-aching conversation. Now they are gathered back together for a Stark family Christmas, where old wounds and new secrets threaten to collide.

Perks of the Queen 5k by @intothecest

The Best Part of Waking Up 5k @jillypups

After a long stint up in Alaska doing manly things, Jon Snow comes back to the Stark family home where he spent nearly all of his childhood, where he called the Stark kids brother and sister. But things change after a few years go by.

Light in the Darkest Days of the Year Little Women AU/historical AU 9k by @sibyldisobedience

Winterfell was a handsome old house of modest proportions, that had once seen better days. Its green shutters and gables had faded to a dull grey. Its stone walls could use a new coat of whitewash. And its family, the Starks, had once been counted amongst the most distinguished in Wintertown — a small, sleepy hamlet, just north of the bustling port city of White Harbour, where it was as likely to snow in the summer as not. But despite this dreary description, Winterfell was the happiest little home in the neighbourhood.  Even on the darkest, coldest days of winter, the little grey house radiated warmth and light from its frosted-over windows, like a beacon. 

Fairy Lights and Mistletoe 3k Hogwarts AU, by @maybetwice

Sansa has every intention of going to the Yule Ball with Jon, even though he isn't sure why.

Shine Your Light on Me 2k canon verse @thatgirlnevershutsup

Let's celebrate a Northern holiday with Sansa and Jon! Think about a Hallmark Christmas movie set in Westeros, and you're on the right track.

A Stark Solstice 1.5k canon verse @ritzintherabbithole

It’s only fitting, she thought, that fresh snow should blanket the land around Winterfell today of all days. It is pristine, virgin white snow, seemingly pure, but Sansa know knows the kind of monsters that hide in the cold and her time spent in King’s Landing cured her of any instinct to trust appearances.

A midwinter night's dream 2k canon verse

After the Long Night, Sansa fears winter more than ever. How will her new born daughter survive a winter that might last for years? But magic is gone from Westeros, and soon it becomes clear that every season only lasts for a few moons. Though winters are still brutal, there is always an end in sight. And every year on the darkest day of them all, the Starks in Winterfell have a feast.

(Big present like ur a horse rider and he gets u a 90 grand horse or smth)

I hope you like it x

Just because you’re worth it

The stadium lights dim, the crowd’s applause thundering in your ears as you step offstage. Your heart is still racing from the electrifying performance, the adrenaline of thousands of voices singing your songs swirling inside you. Tonight had been extraordinary, and yet there was a strange feeling in the pit of your stomach - a sense of something unexpected, something unfamiliar about to happen. You couldn’t shake the feeling, but you pushed it aside, letting the buzz of the show settle in.

As you walk through the backstage hallways, your thoughts are consumed by the night’s performance, but the moment you step into your dressing room, everything stops.

There, leaning against the wall, wearing an impeccable suit and exuding an air of power that’s unmistakable, is Harry. Your boyfriend. Mafia boss Harry.

You blink a couple of times, trying to make sense of the sight. “Harry? What are you doing here?”

A slight smirk forms on his lips, the corner of his mouth twitching in amusement as his intense gaze locks onto yours. “What? You didn’t think I’d come and see my girl perform?” His voice is smooth, with that husky edge that’s both reassuring and completely intimidating.

You laugh nervously, still trying to process everything. “I didn’t expect you here, especially not tonight. I thought you were… well, busy with business.“

He steps closer, his hand brushing your arm gently as he leans down to kiss you on the cheek. “Always have time for you, darling.”

A slight warmth spreads across your chest as he stands back and takes in your outfit - the glitzy performance ensemble you’ve worn all night. It’s beautiful, yes, but far from comfortable. You give him a quick smile, trying to make light of the situation. “I should probably change into something more comfortable. You know, after that whole performance thing.”

“Go ahead,” he says, watching you carefully. His tone is almost too calm, but you don’t think much of it. It’s Harry. He always seems to have a certain controlled composure. “I’ll wait.”

You nod, stepping into the changing area and quickly switching out of the tight, sparkly outfit into a cozy hoodie and leggings. The contrast between the glitzy stage persona and the comfortable, more relaxed version of yourself makes you smile. You shake your head, laughing quietly at the absurdity of it all.

When you return to the main part of the room, Harry’s still standing there, his expression unreadable as he watches you. His gaze softens when you meet his eyes, though.

“Looking much more comfortable,” he remarks with a smirk. “Now, close your eyes.”

“Harry-“

“Just trust me, love,” he cuts you off, his voice gentle yet firm. “Close your eyes.”

Despite the unease brewing in your chest, you comply. There’s no harm in it, right? It’s Harry. He’s never led you wrong. As soon as your eyes are shut, you feel a cool, silk blindfold being tied around your head. The sudden loss of sight makes your heart flutter, but you stand still, waiting for his next move.

“Okay,” Harry says softly. His fingers brush your arm, taking your hand in his. “Let’s go.”

He guides you, leading you through the hallways with a firm, steady grip. The familiar sounds of backstage. Shuffling feet, muffled voices. They fade away as you follow him. It feels strange, the uncertainty of the moment, but you trust him. There’s something about him that makes you feel safe even when you’re stepping into the unknown.

After what feels like several minutes of walking, you hear the sound of gravel crunching underfoot, and the temperature shifts as a cool night breeze brushes against your skin. The familiar hum of the city air is now distant, replaced by the sound of something… larger. Something powerful.

You stop. Harry’s hand slips from yours for a brief moment, and you hear him moving away, a faint rustle of fabric in the air.

“Ready?” he asks.

You nod, though you wonder what’s going on. “I think so.”

A moment later, the blindfold is lifted, and the sight before you takes your breath away.

Standing in front of you is an absolutely stunning horse - sleek and powerful, its glossy black coat reflecting the light from the nearby street lamps. The horse is harnessed to a beautifully ornate carriage, the gold accents catching your eye as they shimmer in the night. It’s like something out of a dream. Something straight out of a fairy tale, but much more extravagant than anything you could’ve imagined.

“Harry…” You take a step forward, speechless. “What… what is this?”

“This,” he says with a small smile, “is for you.”

Your brow furrows as you turn to face him. “For me? I don’t understand.”

“Your old horse,” he continues, his gaze softening as he looks at the animal, then back at you. “She passed away not long ago, didn’t she? I know how much she meant to you, so I got you a new one.”

You’re in shock, trying to process the sheer extravagance of the gift in front of you. “Harry… this is… this is incredible. But it’s too much. You didn’t need to-“

“Just because,” he interrupts, his eyes locking with yours, and there’s a certain softness behind them that catches you off guard. “No special occasion. Just because I wanted you to have something worthy of you.”

Your heart skips a beat at the sincerity in his voice. The magnitude of the gesture is overwhelming, and yet, somehow, it feels just right coming from him.

“She’s beautiful,” you whisper, eyes still fixed on the horse. You step closer, gently stroking its sleek coat, still in awe. “I don’t even know what to say.”

Harry smiles, his tone playful now. “Then don’t say anything. Just enjoy the ride, sweetheart.”

He opens the carriage door for you, and you slide inside, your heart racing with gratitude and disbelief. Harry climbs in beside you, settling next to you with his usual commanding presence, but there’s something undeniably comforting in the way he holds your hand.

The carriage begins to roll forward, the soft sound of the horse’s hooves against the cobblestones filling the silence between you. As the lights of the city fade in the distance and the night envelops you both, the world feels calm, peaceful, and intimate.

You look over at Harry, his eyes soft but filled with that same quiet intensity you know so well.

“Thank you,” you murmur, squeezing his hand. “This is… beyond anything I could’ve imagined.”

He simply tilts his head, his lips curling into a faint smile. “Anything for you, darling. Just know, you’re worth every single thing I do.”

The rest of the ride is filled with nothing but the sound of hooves and the warmth of his presence beside you. You allow yourself to relax fully, sinking into the moment. Just you, Harry, and your new horse - no distractions, no obligations, just pure, unadulterated peace.

And for the first time in a while, you feel like everything is just exactly as it should be.
