“They came to the end of the rose garden, where the hedges grew thickest and stupidities might be said most freely. Where terrible incompatibilities stopped meaning so much, because, here amongst green boughs and the rustling breeze, they were just a man and a woman, meandering through a garden, being idiots about roses.

They found a seat on a stone bench near a fountain adorned with chubby Cupids. Granger curled her legs under herself. The rose in her hair was askew, so Draco reached over to fix it, expecting to do so suavely but finding instead that he was transfixed by a feeling of exquisite nervousness, the likes of which he hadn’t felt since he was a teenager. Granger breathed out a thank you. Her cheeks were pink.

They talked of things trivial and not, of roses and cupboards and scars and war and artichokes and fish pie. They looked up at the smouldering stars, and the nightbirds warbled their unearthly cadences, and roses dropped their petals in beautiful melancholy. An hour drifted by, and then two, and then three – though it felt like they’d only just sat down beside each other on this damp bench amongst the roses to witter away the evening.

The memory of that night would remain with Draco for a long time afterwards, moon-kissed and sweet. The light in her eyes, the taste of wine, the glitter of starshine in the fountain, the slow seduction of the roses.

Il faut se laisser ensorceler.” - Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love, Chapter 17: The Dinner/Draco Malfoy Almost Causes The Next Murder Sensation, by @isthisselfcare

Dudley Moore (Bedazzled)— Part of the appeal of the Dudley Moore & Peter Cook duo was the contrast between long lanky drawling Peter Cook and short neurotic nasal Dudley Moore. And it works! What a weird little dude! (Was either of them particularly likeable? Maybe not. But funny!) A lot of his work comes a bit later than the 1970 vintage cutoff date, but not by much--60s and 70s were kind of the peak.  

Giulietta Masina (La Strada, Fortunella, Nights of Cabiria)—To me, she is the DEFINITION of scrungly little guy, always, but especially in La Strada. She is hilarious, adorable and heartbreaking all in one. She was born in a wet cardboard box all alone. She is the slapstick clown woman of my dreams. She gets called an "ugly artichoke" TWICE in that film (not true, very brutal, but quite funny - she's the wife of the director too, might I add). Her face is so brilliant, no one ever emoted like she did. She is Pierrot Hot, simple as. Gif of the exact moment I fell in love with her upon first seeing this film, if you wanna include it: [link]

[additional submitted propaganda + scrungly videos under the cut]

Dudley Moore:

Dudley became an unlikely romantic lead but in the 60s he leaned into his scrungliness big time

Giulietta Masina:

She's Italian, isn't that enough? No? Fine. She also won two Cannes film awards and is best known for her character in La Strada, in which she played a young woman who fell in love with her captor and witnessed the cruelty of humanity, but still never really lost her child-like spirit.

Masina has a wonderful impish, scrungly quality to her that made her perfect for her iconic Sad Clown type roles. She got tons of comparisons to Chaplin (who despite being handsome, certainly *played* scrungles) and goddamn if they aren’t true. Like yes, she’s obviously beautiful when glammed up, but even in promotional photos, Masina always has this weirdo quality to her. I could see her playing a strange little goblin sidekick to Columbo as he solves a murder in Italy. Even in Nights of Cabiria, where she’s ostensibly playing an object of desire, Masina carries herself with a gait usually reserved for old crones and character actors, (which only makes her yearning for happiness more tragic!).

Eddie loves funerals.

Despite what some may think, it has nothing to do with an interest in death or the supernatural—though he does have that—and it has nothing to do with loving seeing everyone dressed in black—though that is always a plus. It doesn’t even have anything to do with that phase he went through in elementary school where he got obsessed with learning about burial rituals from different cultures and recreating them with his stuffed animals (that eventually ended when his teacher called Wayne to say that Eddie really needed to stop trying to embalm his friends). 

No, Eddie’s affinity for funerals has everything to do with the fact that they’re a guaranteed source of free food. 

It’s become a bonafide pastime. He keeps an eye out in the paper for obituaries and makes note of when the funerals will be. He reads through the obituary and may do a little extra research if necessary so he has an answer ready if anyone asks him about the dearly departed. When in doubt, he can always fall back on “He was such a fixture in the community” or “She always reminded me of my grandma.” 

Of course, he only goes to funerals for old people. Anything else would be too depressing. But for old people he can show up and hang in the back while some priest or family member makes a few remarks and then hit up the buffet without raising too many eyebrows.

Eddie strikes metaphorical gold when he cracks open the obit section of the paper and sees the name Maureen Harrington—apparently, one of those Harringtons, someone’s great aunt or something. She’d been living in Chicago but she’s getting buried in Hawkins next to her parents. The name alone is a good sign; the Harringtons are rich as shit so they’re definitely gonna swing for a good spread at the memorial. Eddie’s not even worried that she was from Chicago so he shouldn’t have any reason to know who she was, because the obituary says she was a romance novelist. He’s just gotta skim one of her books so he can pass himself off as a fan.

The day of the funeral is nice and overcast. Those are the best funerals. So atmospheric. He rolls up to the funeral home with his best mourning outfit—dark button-down shirt tucked into black slacks under his most serious black coat that just so happens to have plenty of deep pockets that are great for stashing food in. He claims an empty seat at the back of the funeral home chapel so he can listen to the service. 

As memorials go, this one is remarkably formal. Guess the Harringtons are all about appearances even in death. Eddie’s favorite remarks are from Elaine Harrington, wife of infamous businessman James Harrington, who manages to both artfully brush away nonexistent tears and work in that Maureen was never married and has a bastard son. God, Eddie loves rich people.

After the service, Eddie lingers in the chapel for a few minutes so it doesn’t seem like he’s only interested in the food. Then he falls in behind a couple of old men as they head for the buffet. Decent spread—there’s some sandwiches on croissants, overly fancy crackers with spinach artichoke, a frankly bizarre amount of shrimp cocktail. The dessert is the real star of the show with multiple overflowing tables. Eddie dishes up a little of everything, surreptitiously slipping things into his coat when no one’s looking. 

“Munson,” a voice says. Shit, did someone see him shoving all those brownies into his pockets? He turns and finds himself looking into the disconcertingly beautiful honey eyes of Steve Harrington. He doesn’t actually know Steve that well—they went to high school together but they didn’t run in the same circles. He just knows of Steve because he was the most popular kid in school, the King. And Steve probably only knows of Eddie because he was the weird fucker who climbed on lunch tables to yell at people. They haven’t ever spoken.

Eddie’s not gonna pretend like he’s never lusted after the King though.

“There’s no way you knew my great aunt,” Steve says. There’s no suspicion in his voice, which is a good sign, just confusion. 

“On the contrary,” Eddie says, “I was a big fan of her work.” It’s actually not even that much of a lie anymore. He tracked down a few of Maureen Harrington’s novels and they were surprisingly good for pulpy romances with shirtless dudes riding horses on the cover. 

“You were a fan of her work,” Steve repeats, clearly disbelieving. “I’m pretty sure the target audience for those books was ‘middle-aged women in loveless marriages.’”

Eddie grins. “Okay, first of all, how dare you insult middle-aged women in loveless marriages. Second of all—” He reaches into one of his coat pockets and pulls out the book he brought. “See?” he says, tapping the cover. “I like this one because the guy looks like me.” 

He doesn’t. The only resemblance is that they both have long dark hair. But cracking half a smile, Steve nods. “It’s uncanny,” he says.

“And the girl looks like you,” Eddie says. Weirdly, she really does. She has the same slightly droopy brown eyes and pouty pink lips. Her hair’s even the same color, her bangs swooping like Steve’s do. 

“Nah, she looks like Maureen,” Steve says, “And Maureen looked like a Harrington.” He points over to where there’s a display of pictures of the deceased, including one where she’s probably in her thirties. Sure enough, she looks a lot like the woman on the book cover. Looking around the room, Eddie realizes that he’s able to pick out who the family is because they all have those same eyes. Weird.

Eddie turns back to Steve. “My point still stands.”

He shrugs. “Actually though, what are you doing here?” he asks, “Funerals are the worst.”

“I couldn’t disagree more,” Eddie says, tucking the book back into his coat pocket. “Funerals are a great place to meet people.”

Steve lifts his eyebrows. “Not sure I agree with that.”

“That hurts, Harrington,” Eddie says, clutching his hands to his heart.  “Here I thought we were really hitting it off.”

That makes Steve laugh. “You’re right,” he says, “I was just gearing up to ask if you wanted to come to my dad’s old business partner’s funeral next weekend.”

Whistling, Eddie takes a step closer, resting his hand lightly on Steve’s arm. “Second date already? You move fast.”

“What can I say?” Steve spreads his hands out to encompass the funeral around them. “Life is short.”

Neighbour AU + Mutual pining (mickcedes or brocedes please) 💙

[Trope mash up prompts] This might have to become a series, because I got 1k into this and realized I hadn't even gotten to the mutual pining! But here you go, mickcedes monaco neighbours AU:

After breaking up with his girlfriend of four years, Mick musters the courage to ask Seb for his realtor so he can get the hell out of his sister’s place. Gina is awesome—the best sister Mick could ask for—but it’s clear that she’s become somewhat peeved after six weeks of taking care of her older brother.

Seb’s realtor is a terrifying blonde woman named Britta, and when Mick meets her for coffee—black for Britta and a cappuccino for Mick—she pulls up a map of Europe on her phone, holds it out to Mick and says, “Where do you want to go?” 

Mick swallows. He has the force of his family’s bank account behind him, which really means he could go anywhere. He pictures himself in the UK, in Greece, in Norway, in a beautiful island cottage in Croatia and says, “I’ve always wanted to live in Monaco.” 

“Monaco,” says Britta, tilting her head in consideration. “We can do Monaco.” 

-

Three days later, Britta texts Mick a plane ticket to Nice, the receipt for a rental car, and a link to tour a residential high rise virtually. Mick opens the link and flips through images of a sun-drenched condo on the sixth floor. He’s not much of a designer, but he imagines a dining room table beside the french doors that open onto the balcony, a flatscreen on the wall of the living room, and family photos on the mantel. 

He could live with it, he thinks. I like it, he texts Britta. 

-

Britta holds open the door for Mick, awfully gentlemanly, and nods at the doorman like she’s already met him. The lobby is bright and modern, and a plaque made from sun-bleached driftwood reads BIENVENUE on the front desk. 

The elevator ride to the sixth floor is uneventful, Britta and Mick leaning against opposite walls. The floor numbers tick upwards on the LED panel above the door. Britta tucks her hands behind her back and assesses Mick coolly. 

“You know,” she says, conversationally. “If Sebastian ever treats you unfairly, you can tell me, and I’ll sort him out. He can be a selfish little man when he isn’t thinking straight.” 

“Thanks,” Mick squeaks, willing the elevator doors to open. It’s difficult to categorize anything Seb does as unfair when Mick still has stars in his eyes looking at him. It’s Sebastian Vettel, his dad’s protege. 

“I’m serious,” says Britta, fiercely. 

As if sensing Mick’s discomfort, the elevator jolts to a halt, and a ding signals their arrival at the sixth floor. Britta makes an after you kind of gesture, and Mick slips out of the elevator. 

-

When Mick and Britta are done touring the apartment, Mick accepts Britta’s offer to show him around the city. He’s been here before on family vacations, but not since… Well, that doesn’t bear thinking about. 

Britta locks the door to the apartment behind them, and Mick turns around to stride towards the elevator, and runs smack into another body carrying a box of something green.

“Desole,” says Mick, mustering disused French. He shoots an arm out to help the stranger balance his box of what looks like—asparagus and artichokes and various varieties of leafy greens.

“Pas grave,” says the stranger, clutching his box of produce to his chest. Mick pulls back, and the stranger transfers the box to one arm, using his freed hand to sweep the hair out of his eyes. 

The stranger is bright blonde with fine wrinkles at the corners of turquoise eyes like he’s older than his otherwise smooth features suggest. He’s dressed in linen from head to toe, a pair of designer sandals on his feet that Mick only recognizes from his mother’s beach wardrobe. 

Britta snorts behind him. The stranger looks past Mick and wrinkles his nose at her. 

The awkward encounter is over in a matter of seconds, and the stranger is brushing past Mick, presumably to get to his apartment, while Britta ushers Mick towards the elevator. Mick shakes his head clear while Britta pushes the button for the lobby. 

“Do you know him?” Mick asks. 

“Ha,” says Britta, a thin smile growing on her jaw. “Sebastian does. That’s Nico Rosberg, an angel investor in the sustainable energy sector. He lives in Monaco with his husband, a designer.” 

“Rosberg as in Keke Rosberg?” says Mick. 

“That’s the one,” says Britta.

-

A month later, Mick finds himself on a plane to Nice for the second time, his most important belongings crammed in a mountain of suitcases and stowed with the rest of the luggage. Seb offered to fly with him and help Mick set up, but Mick felt somewhat guilty for stealing Britta for so long and wanted to prove to no one in particular that he could make the move by himself. 

He retrieves his new keys from the front desk, and after an afternoon he has most of the important things assembled, which is to say a toaster, an espresso machine and a bedframe. He opens his laptop and half-heartedly scrolls through an online furniture store, but gives up on the third page of bespoke credenzas. He doesn’t even know where he would put a credenza. 

In the end, he wraps himself up in the one sheet he bothered to bring with him and passes out on top of the mattress. 

-

Mick wakes to a knock on his door. He experiences a fleeting thought that he’s still staying with his sister, and it’s her boyfriend knocking on the door to take her out for breakfast before he realizes he’s in his new apartment in Monaco and Gina is thousands of kilometres away. He flings the sheet off his torso, still wearing yesterday’s t-shirt and joggers, and slogs through the apartment to answer the door. 

When Mick tugs the door open, Nico Rosberg is standing on the other side, a basket of greens once again clutched in his hands. Another man, with a deeper complexion, stylish facial hair, and a face stacked with piercings, stands at his shoulder, looking somewhat bored. 

“Hi?” says Mick, uncertain. 

“Hello neighbour!” says Nico Rosberg, foisting the basket on Mick. “We wondered when you’d move in. I’m Nico, and this is my partner Lewis. We live two doors down.” Nico gestures vaguely at the other end of the hallway. “Lewis, say hello,” he sing-songs. 

“Hey, man,” says Lewis. 

“Uh,” says Mick, struggling under his new armful of kale and other vegetables. “Thanks? Can I…” he glances backwards into the apartment and notes the kitchen, which is empty of everything but the toaster and coffee machine. “Invite you in for coffee?”

Nico laughs ebulliently. “Of course not. We wouldn’t dream of taking advantage of your hospitality when you’ve just moved in. If you need anything from us, though, just knock.” He grins flatly at Mick, lips closed. Something about it reminds Mick of Britta. 

“Thanks,” says Mick. “I’ll just…” he breaks off. 

“Great,” says Nico, still smiling his flat smile. “Wonderful to meet you. I’m sure we’ll be seeing you around.” 

Nico spins on his heel, links his arm through Lewis’s and tugs him down the hall. Mick blinks, steadying himself, and nudges the door closed with his foot, hauling the basket of produce into the kitchen. He sets it on the counter and pulls back to scrutinize it. What the fuck is he going to do with 10 kilos of kale?

Hiii bestiee!!!! How was was your day??

I'm obsessed by the way you have written sex tutor H!!! It was so perfect like Ahhh can't wait for part 2!!!

No pressure tho but was just wondering how is Mean king harry is!! Earlier you have posted a lil sneaky that was so perfect so is there any chance that you could give a lil sneaky of it!! Nd if not then it's okay too!!:)

Ahhh thank you! I'm just so happy y'all seemed to love sex tutor so much! Part 2 is in the works!

Mean King is slowly coming alive. It's a lot of work, though. Period pieces take a bit more research and while I'm sure I'm not going to get everything 100% right, I want to do the story justice. I can't say when it'll be ready quite yet.

BUT! Here's another sneaky for you since you asked so nicely :)

First sneak peek to mean king!harry here.

👑👑👑👑

But there was also the concern of the King’s marital status.

“You’ll need a Queen. Someone to continue the Styles’ lineage for Thornekeep. The people will want to know they are under the rule of a stable Sovereign.”

“What does it matter how the people feel? I can rule without a Queen. I’d rather not be hindered,” Harry waved a hand as he spoke unconcerned.

“Your Majesty, with all due respect, how do you expect to have a child out of wedlock?”

The cheeky grin that pulled up on Harry’s face had his advisor suddenly standing to stop the King from answering that question but Harry only laughed and looked at the man, “Sit. Do not interrupt me again. I think Our Lord Mayer would like a lesson in biology and I’m not one to turn down a teaching moment.”

The advisor relented with a sigh, sitting down (what was he to do? tell the King not to speak?), and Harry began, “One does not need the burden of wedlock to create offspring. It’s quite simple you see…” all the men knew where this was going as Harry continued, “All I need to do is stick my fiddle within the sweet quim whiskers of a beautiful woman and keep it in until I’ve done my duty. Could take a few rounds to set but I imagine soon enough the woman receiving my bounty will be heavy with child and upon the moment of birth will provide me an heir. No need for a marital contract of any sort.”

The men of the council looked around at one another in near shock at Harry’s dismissal of tradition as the Lord Mayor spoke, “That will not do. It is imperative you find a Queen, my King. You need a woman that will raise said heir in the castle with you, bring them up properly, and teach them our ways. This will be your legacy. You must see that.”

Harry knew of course that his words would fall on deaf ears. He knew he’d have to marry and make a show of it. But he did enjoy seeing the looks on the faces of the fancy and feathered men, all tensed with their sleek coverings of velvet and wool and white tights tucked into silk and leather shoes with shiny silver buckles and heels that made them appear taller than they were.

“Fine. I’ll have my selection in a fortnight.”

His selection. As if he were choosing a dish to be served for dinner. But that is how Harry saw it after all. He would have his choice of dishes just as he would have his choice of women. It would be the roasted venison with piping hot potatoes, smothered in butter, and artichokes for his dinner, and for his wife, he’d take the pretty redhead with the plump bottom and big bosom lying in his bed. She had the kind of tummy that would take a child well he figured.

Hi!! What are your favorite maiden lane books?

Ooooh, if there's one thing I love, it's MAIDEN LANE. My top 5:

Thief of Shadows—Truly one of the best romance novels I've ever read! It's incredibly hot in the way only Hoyt can pull off for me (when Winter is hitting it from the back and Isabel is trying to resist all the emotion while he tells her to SOAK HIS COCK WITH HER LIQUID lol, the blowjob where they're both crying) but also sooooo fucking beautiful emotional. Like. The plot is bananas, yes, but when you get to the CRUX of why Isabel doesn't think they can be together, it's so real and raw.

Duke of Midnight—Maximus is a hero that a lot of people hate because he's a deranged asshole. This is probably why I LIKE him. He's just so... WACKY. And Artemis's responses are so measured. I love a deeply practical heroine. I love a hero who has to realize that like... he thinks he's got It, but he actually doesn't. Because she is, in fact, It.

Sweetest Scoundrel—Asa is so good!!!!! This one grew on me more over time. It's really such an emotionally beautiful journey for Asa and Eve, while being super hot and not transforming them into suddenly perfect people. A tough read, but a very worth one.

Scandalous Desires—I just love the camp of this. An Irish river pirate and the baby he severely doesn't care about parenting. The sweet widow who just wants to nurture. The artichoke dirty talk. The death row BJ.

Duke of Sin—I just feel like this is a romance novel that never takes an easy turn, and it's like... something everyone who loves the historical romance genre should read. A true villain romance where he doesn't become like, a good person in the end! And the heroine isn't a blushing virgin!

[rottenpunkandmadeofweasels]

kind of losing my shit rn and have a million things to say about this wonderful episode and the gang involved

thank you Beth may for the complex feelings running through Scary that are still drowning in denial and the incredibly slow breakage of her emotional walls. Even after Terry's death the struggle of admitting all her feelings about it is some beautiful characterization. The layers upon layers of subtle character work is like an emotional artichoke where each piece you let us peel back and examine is building a more and more intense pile of complicated and earth shattering feelings. you have not shown us all your cards even in this devastating time and once or if you do the payoff might just kill me.

thank you Matt Arnold for the comedic and heartbreaking choices you brought to this episode. The consistency you bring to Link and his loyalty was like a punch to the gut this episode. With fucking everything that happened with Taylor to his declaration of never wanting to see his dad again while breaking the anchor is god I can't even. He loves so strong and will stand by their side but he recognizes the foundation of his and Grant's relationship has crumbled and his Dad is not who he thought he was. Ending with the anchor breaking character choice made me litterally shout OH FUCK and I don't want it any other way. You know your fucking character.

Thank you Freddie Wong for being one of the funniest people ever. Today was not Taylor's big emotions episode and that's absolutely ok because it was immediately filled with one of the funniest bits ever. I have really strong reactions to things so when the gay foot mecha orb thing happened I fell to the floor shout screaming. Out of anyone on this goddamn podcast I think you have made me fall to the floor more times then anyone else. fucking comedic genius with a genius character.

Thank you Will Campos just thank you for Normal in his entirety. Normal flipping his shit this episode made me excited beyond belief and there are a million things I could say about Normal that I have already shouted at several people about regularly because he makes me nuts I love him and how you perform him. His conversation with Scary at the end made me sick it was so fucking good. So little was said but all of it was so loud. Love him more than anything.

Fucking Anthony Burch. Thank you Anthony. my god. What can I say about this guy that I haven't already said to every person I know and my online creative writing course. No writer or actor or anything has made me get up from my fucking seat and SCREAM. He has made me cry, laugh, pace around my kitchen like a caged animal like no other. He's my greatest inspiration and my worst enemy. this fucking guy reawakened my love for writing like no other piece of media has. Your worldbuilding, characters, choices, improv makes me flip my lid. I love Sparrow and Grant and Nicky and Dead Terry and Everyone in this fucking episode I fucking can't. As a twin I need to be fucking devasted by Lark and Sparrow in this next episode they make me so sick.

just a huge fucking rant that doesn't encapsulate all my feelings but a mini and not really ode to this podcast that I needed to get out while I was still fresh and emotional.

[oh-no-another-idea]

Find the word tag

Thank you for the tag, @thewriteflame! If you're wondering when the hell you gave me the words alter, beautiful, care, dark, energy, it was sometime between four years and four hours ago. 😎 Definitely not back in September. But anyways.

Alter Falter:

Crowley screamed, an animal sound, and faltered. “You wouldn’t.” “Oh, but I think I would,” Antonio shouted back, hands on his hips like a reprimanding nanny. “You don’t know what kinds of things I’d do, and that’s a promise.”

Beautiful: (and no, you don't get context)

On the west side, Velia Greene was a winged savior, bringing light to the darkest areas and caring for injured. She flitted about on picket lines and at soup kitchens, always with an extra blanket for whoever needed one. Down south, Velia was a beautiful girl who was good luck for naval voyages. She was an incantation whispered during a storm, a praise at a good cargo.

Care:

“I don’t know. And quite frankly I don’t care to learn,” Antonio said flatly, spreading artichokes on baguette slices.

Dark:

“Gonna kill you,” Masters huffed, and swung. There was a terrible crunch as Paris’ head snapped back, the night too dark to make out how much blood there was. Velia didn’t realize she was moving until Masters was large and hot under her hands. He tripped as she pushed, unprepared for a blind attack. Velia watched impassively as he skidded towards the edge of the roof.    

The only energy I have is a spoiler, so we'll skip that one for now! I'll tag @ashfordlabs @ceph-the-ghost-writer @writeouswriter @cherrybombfangirlwrites @avrablake and anyone else who'd like to search for the words peace, noise, fire, and monkey!

Hannibal has recently found the rooms of Melissa's (@stingslikeabee) manor to be a comforting fixation. The walls held stories; he could hear them as the sunlight vanished and the house settled. Perhaps she was unknown to the history it tells, much like the paintings she had acquired and where they were last rumored to be. His insight on the track record put to rest a few puzzling conundrums, while other information that was slowly peeled away brought forth new ones all their own.

It was cooler in the kitchen despite the preheating ovens and stovetop that held the fire below the pans. Hannibal found his surgeon-skilled hands covering the surface of the countertop, chilled, ideal for cooking. The wine glass he had carried with him the majority of the time was delicately shifted to the left of him by the stem.

"It's as if you knew my penchant for cooking," he says with a teasing slanted smile. He handles the artichoke with care, prodding the leaves with his fingertips as he tears them until he finds the tender parts. The knife slices the tip, carving around the base until he's satisfied with the shape. Thumbs spread open the center, akin to cracking a ribcage and carving the center out with a spoon.

The lemon juice in the bowl off to the side is used to soak the blossom into the liquid. He reaches for another and mirrors the process; his eyes focused on the precision of his carving and the insertion of his thumbs to gently spread it apart. "For my dinner parties, I arrange for sous chefs to help. Very little talk is made." Another blossom goes into the bowl.

"Cooking is like painting or composing a song. Just as there are only so many notes or colors, there are only so many flavors—it's how you combine them that sets you apart. I often wonder if they are too focused on their note making to speak."

Not that he formally cared. He did find it fascinating that in the years he had arranged for these chefs to aid him, they never once opened up to him. Perhaps they were afraid to get analyzed, far more than him just being the head chef in the room...a psychiatrist as well.

Lifting his head up from his work, he shifts his focus to her. "I am glad you are speaking." Another grin. "Or perhaps I should give them a bottle of your wine at first. Loosen the tongue."

It was late - the sun had set on the horizon for at least a couple of hours and none of the golden glow lingered over the countess' beautiful estate. The pair, however, had spent most of it indoors, and away from the gardens - going over all the paintings which had been rescued and brought over to America alongside Melissa's baggage for a new life, working under the most optimal circumstances for century-old art. Hannibal had more than an eye for art pieces - it was almost as if he had been academically trained to examine them. His conservators were very talented professionals, but even after they left - the good doctor had stayed. Melissa had been eager to hear his theories and opinions on some of the canvasas which had lacked a title or had been unknown entries of the collection - an activity which they engaged until food was required. Moving upstairs, to the kitchens, Melissa demonstrated to be perfectly aware of where every single utensil was kept despite being the lady of the manor. She arranged a decent spread for them, all the while generous with the quantity served. It was just the two of them - but the countess was unafraid to get to cooking, raising the sleeves of her dress up and tying hair to focus on that task while offering the psychiatrist a chance to help if he so desired. "These should be good enough for some carciofi alla romana - what do you think, Doctor?" handing Hannibal a sharp knife from the perfectly kept set, Melissa brought the artichokes closer to them, "Would you like to help by removing the hearts?"

On a Mission

Written for the @jilymicrofics prompt: January 20th - umbrella

James had stolen Remus's umbrella for this exact purpose. Remus didn't mind. Or at least, what he hasn't noticed couldn't hurt him. James was going to return the umbrella. Probably. Maybe. Remus wouldn't notice, not with the war and Sirius moving out and everything else he was dealing with. He didn't need an umbrella anyway. He could apparate.

James couldn't apparate. He was on a mission which he couldn't use magic for, so really he needed the umbrella more that Moony did anyway. It has been incredibly stormy lately and James was just well-prepared, having stolen the umbrella in advance of the mission.

He had known it was coming. Lily had been getting grouchier since she'd been put on bedrest for the remainder of her pregnancy, no longer even allowed to brew potions for the Order. James knew that soon, he would be sent out for a very important mission - without his beautiful wife.

The deli was hidden in an alleyway. From the outside, it looked like the perfect place for an ambush, but inside told a different story. The whole store was lit up with warm lights and decorated with bright colours. It was run by an old Italian muggle who lived above the storefront and who treated her regulars like family. They didn't know James well yet, but there was still a coffee waiting for him on the counter when he had dropped his umbrella by the door.

The owner's granddaughter was working the counter tonight. She smiled at James as he placed his usual order - two sandwiches, one with mortadella, provolone, and artichokes, and one vegetarian with artichokes, provolone, and peppers - and prepared his takeaway while he sipped his coffee and prepared for his walk back through the rain.

Finally he returned to the cottage in Godric's Hollow, drenched and triumphant. He snuck up the stairs to find Lily asleep in their bed, a magazine discarded on her nightstand.

He woke her with a gentle kiss to her forehead. She grumbled a little before tilting her head for another kiss, smiling against his mouth.

"I got you a surprise," he whispered, not wanting to break the peaceful atmosphere.

She hummed in response, barely opening her eyes.

"You're gonna have to sit up, my love, otherwise you'll get crumbs all over the bed."

Slowly she scooched up while James got in on his own side, pressing up comfortably against her side. When they were settled, he pulled out her sandwich and handed it to her, grinning at her delighted gasp.

"You got me my favourite!" she said. "I didn't even know they were open at this time!"

"I got there right before closing," he responded.

"You didn't have to do this, James," she said quietly. "I know it's a bit of a walk and you can't apparate there. I didn't need this."

"You've had a shitty week," James said. "I want you to be happy and you deserve a treat. I know I didn't have to do this, but I wanted to, because I love you."

Lily pressed a kiss to his cheek.

"I love you too. Thank you."

“Merry Christmas, Esme”

This is set just before carlesme are married in December 1921 - Carlisle tries to recreate what he did for Edward’s first Christmas as a newborn with Esme however he is faced with a small dilemma when he finds mistletoe Esme has made whilst decorating

they are engaged but you know Carlisle and his touch starved self

please enjoy and reblog <3

Esme adored the snow. In her human life, she spent those snowy Decembers wrapped up in stifling fabrics, trying to appreciate its trancing beauty of white yet not daring to encounter the cool bite of its touch. Her new life helped her to appreciate its beauty wholly. She loved the new sensation of snowflakes hitting her unbothered skin, running barefoot amongst the ground and laying for hours, watching the haze fall softly.

It was at Carlisle’s eager suggestion Edward take Esme out hunting for the day. Edward was very much aware of Carlisle’s plans for the evening - his thoughts were loud with elation as he pictured what her reaction would be like - lost in the reverie of every possible outcome.

Esme had stepped outside leaving the two to talk alone whilst she waited for Edward. Carlisle spoke in his mind, the surprise was sacred.

‘Please Edward, I want this to be special,’ He wanted to carry on the tradition he had done for Edward - making sure their human experiences were maintained and unforgotten. Although, It was different for Esme; it felt more important, more intimate. She was his guiding light and he longed to follow, to make sure she shone brightly. Her happiness was his priority.

‘Take her out in the snow. Perhaps she should bring her sketchbook? I know she loves to draw that lake nearby the little creek you know the one with the irises.’ The boy couldn’t help but scoff a little, they were not married quite yet but he had noticed how absolutely entwined they were with one another. The little details that were so obvious, their thoughts mirrored with saccharine positivity, their faces both reacted in unison as if rehearsed. It was heart-warming - even for a vampire. “Alright.” he nodded shifting to the door.

‘Good lad, be back around five I should be done by then’ he gently patted his shoulder ‘and please, keep her safe’ his warning was sincere yet stern.

“Of course I wouldn’t want to spoil this for her.” a smirk tugged the corner of his mouth, remembering the time Carlisle had done this for him. He wisped upstairs grabbing Esme’s sketchbook and shook his head wryly as he went, meeting her outside to go on a much prolonged hunt.

Carlisle was overwrought - he needed this to be perfect. She deserved perfection. He shuffled through the boxes of tinsel, string and nitid ornaments when he noticed a separate box underneath he couldn’t recall from the prior years. This was Esme’s.

He lay the small box on his lap, pulling out a wooden sphere painted with elements of rich carmine and artichoke. It was decadent despite its simplicity. The words ‘Cullen’ with ‘C.E.E’ underneath painted delicately in her handwriting. Carlisle held it gently to his chest in a sentimental fashion and sighed. Once the tree was brought in, he placed it on one of the centre branches. perfect he smiled.

When he had strung up the fruit he searched for items to put on the fireplace. There was a small item wrapped in linen enlaced with a knotted string. Carlisle’s name had been painted on it and curiosity bested him. He unravelled it to reveal the fresh mistletoe leaves tied neatly with ribbon. Oh. She was planning her own surprise for him then. His smile beamed, Edward was right - they truly were connected.

It was a symbolic custom; one he knew would be important to her. Lucent berries and leaves rested in his palm ‘What should I do?’ contemplating if he should spoil her own surprise and replace it with his own, Carlisle was reluctant to suggest it to her. They had kissed many times over the course of their engagement but he was still timid with his affections. Besides, it was Esme who had kissed him first. He placed it to the side and struck a match. They would be back soon.

The smell of candle wax thickened as he lit each wick - Since Esme had arrived, their house felt homely and affable. The mellow tones sunken in their living room along with the seasonal attributes made him realise that perhaps for the first time he was apart of a family, his family.

“We’re back.” the door twisted open, Edward came in and Esme followed; her swaying caramel curls decorated with the snowy confetti from outside. Her golden eyes lit up as she took in the new surroundings and her mouth was perched open slightly in awestruck.

Their living room had been masked floor to ceiling in gaudy decor - dashed with blotches of aureate that if they were human, their eyes would irritate greatly. When Carlisle had decorated the inn at the harbour he and Edward shared in 1919, it was never more than a tree and a couple items for their bedside tables; this was far too excessive.

‘How ostentatious’ Edward thought to himself, amused by Carlisle’s desperate need to go overboard for the woman he loved.

“Merry Christmas, Esme.” Carlisle made his way towards her

“Oh Carlisle this is- it’s just wonderful, thank you.” she was now admiring the tree and noticed her ornament had been strung up along with the others.

She pointed to it “you weren’t supposed to see that yet you know.”

“Well you didn’t really hide it that well,” he joked “and besides it’s very beautiful.”

Her smile was coy, “Did you happen to find anything else?”

“As a matter of fact I found something rather intriguing.” he turned to the fireplace to retrieve her spoilt surprise.

“mhm go on.”

he grabbed the mistletoe, motioning it towards her with one eyebrow cocked upwards for an explanation.

“I was saving that for Christmas Day!”

“You made this yourself?”

Her eyes dropped to the floor in a shy humour “Well it’s quite easy you just tie it all together.”

“So you made me a Christmas present and I foolishly found it and now am flaunting it about everywhere.” he scoffed

“I made you two Christmas presents and I didn’t even get to see your reaction,” her playful tone dropped ever so slightly “Do you like them?”

“I love them, angel.” his heart would have burst if it could beat.

“I’m glad.”

“So about this mistletoe, what were you planning on asking me?”

“Well, you’re the one that found it so I think it is only fair you ask darling.” she prodded, Esme knew that he was still nervous with affection; one reason was he did not want to frighten her and the other was that he was alone for so long. The starved intimacy he had craved centuries for - it was all so new to him.

“Oh.” he muttered then flashing an equanimous smile “well then Miss Platt,”

“I’ll be Mrs Cullen soon.” she added

“Then, Mrs Cullen.. would you do me the honour of kissing me underneath the mistletoe.”

“Of course, my husband.” she teased, leaning forward as he held the mistletoe above their heads with his free hand.

Edward coughed sheepishly “And on that note i think I’ll head out and enjoy the weather a little longer.” he had stood watching them, unnoticed, their love was mesmerising to watch but he’d give them their privacy.

‘Poor lad’ Carlisle thought as he went out the door but soon returned his thoughts back to Esme.

She pulled him close, tugging his shirt slightly “you know Carlisle we don’t need this as an excuse to kiss.” She grabbed the mistletoe from his hand and they kissed sweetly, both cherishing the closeness of one another.

“Thank you for doing this.” She murmured, resting her head against his shoulder.

“Of course,” he pressed his lips to her forehead. “Again, Merry Christmas angel.”

“Merry Christmas, Carlisle.”

Amélie's journey to true love in the movie is beautifully portrayed. After her playful cat-and-mouse game with Nino throughout the streets of Paris, it's the insight of her good friend Dufayel, portrayed by Serge Merlin, that gives her the courage to pursue a relationship with the man who genuinely loves her and whom she loves in return.

In that pivotal moment, Dufayel turns on the television set and implores Amélie not to let this chance slip away. He tells her, "If you let this chance go by, your heart will eventually become as dry and brittle as my skeleton. So, go get him for Pete's sake!"

Inspired by Dufayel's words, Amélie finds the courage to open her door and discover Nino waiting for her. In that magical and heartwarming scene, she finally lets herself embrace the happiness and love that she truly deserves. It's a moment of profound beauty and authenticity, where the barriers that have held her back for so long are overcome, and the promise of love and fulfillment blooms. And as you said, well, we all know what comes next – a beautiful journey into love and happiness.

That line from the movie "Amélie" is one of those unforgettable moments that always warms my heart. When Amélie calls out the grocer for referring to his assistant as a "useless vegetable" and follows it up with, "You'll never be a vegetable. Even artichokes have hearts," it's like a mic drop of empathy.

In that simple yet profound statement, Amélie beautifully encapsulates her character's essence – her ability to find beauty and value in the ordinary and overlooked. She reminds us that every person has a heart and feelings, irrespective of how society may label them or their perceived usefulness. It's a powerful message about empathy, urging us to see the humanity in everyone we encounter, regardless of their circumstances.

Amélie's act of helping the blind man cross the street is undoubtedly one of the most heartwarming moments in the entire film. It exemplifies her extraordinary ability to spread joy and happiness wherever she goes.

In that scene, as the urge to help mankind suddenly engulfs her, Amélie steps into the role of a narrator. She not only guides the blind man safely across the street but also describes the world around him in vivid detail. Her words paint a picture of the sights, smells, and sounds that he might otherwise miss out on, enhancing his sensory experience and making the ordinary street crossing a journey of wonder.

This scene encapsulates Amélie's unique gift – her capacity to bring light and magic into the lives of others by taking the time to notice and appreciate the beauty in everyday moments. It's a touching reminder of the positive impact one person can have when they choose to spread kindness and happiness in the world.
