Oh, I also went places for spring break

Fun fact, the Northern lights aren’t as colorful to the human eye, they were more of a milky white/grey. Still breathtaking!

And now for something completely different…

The Vermeer exhibit was truly amazing, I’m glad I got to go.
Not pictured in this post: a good sense of how fucken WIMDY Iceland is, trying a bite of whale (meh), two and a half hours at a lovely bar/bookshop with an awesome house band called the Honky Tonks (the night before I had to wake up at 4:30), going to the Hard Rock Cafes of both Reykjavik and Amsterdam, Dad still not liking Van Gogh’s artwork, and a lot of walking in beautiful places.

My home country - Pierre Gasly x IcelandicOlympicIceHockey! Reader
Plot: Your boyfriend Pierre watches on as you bring home Gold for team Iceland before you show him around the waterfalls and geysers your country is known for!
A/N: Having been to Iceland, this one was really fun to write as I've done all the things mentioned!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You’d just won gold and we’re on a complete high, your boyfriend being there to celebrate you and your teams win. It was a thrilling feeling having the Gold Medal placed around your neck and hugging all of your team mates who'd been a part of the journey.
You had all worked insanely hard and you'd cried once you realized you won.
The celebrations that night were crazy, you and Pierre spent the whole night in the club with all your friends and some of your family. There were also randoms there who were congratulating you and buying you drinks the whole night - much to Pierre's annoyance as they were mostly men.
But once they offered him a drink too after recognizing him, he didn't feel as peeved.
They day after and you both woke up with the worst hangover imaginable. You laid in bed in the fancy 5 star hotel you were set up in, both complaining about the headache you both had before you sulked down the stairs for the breakfast buffet.
You guys filled yourself on all the greasiest food in attempt to get rid of the hangover.
"Fuck Elskan. I feel awful" you say in Icelandic and Pierre looks at you as if you've grown two heads, not understanding anything but the pet name you use often for him.
"Babe, English or French please... I'm dying here!" he groans.
"Sorry, i revert back when I'm tired!" you smile before taking his hand.
"We have a busy day today!" you smile, excited for the plan you guys have.
"Nooooooo, please I just need a day in bed!" he complains looking over at you.
"You don't want to see my country?" you say with a sad voice, knowing he did as he'd been asking for ages for you to take him across Iceland and show him all the things you did growing up.
"I do!" he whines looking over at you.
"I just - cant we do that tomorrow?" he asks looking over you his sleepy eyes telling you he was struggling a little bit more than he was letting on.
"The fresh air will do you good, come on lets go get ready! It's cold so we need to wrap up warm" you advise grabbing his hand and dragging him out the restaurant.
You both change into warm clothes and waterproof having a little rucksack with you each. You guys had a busy day where you'd be hiking up a glacier and seeing some of the best waterfalls Iceland had to offer before going to swim in the geothermal spa called the Blue Lagoon to round up your day.
"The guys said we might even get to see the northern lights tonight!" you grin excitedly.
"Really?" Pierre asks knowing you'd seen them multiple times in your lifetime but it was something you still got pretty excited about.
You guys were on the tour bus and went straight to the glaciers, you had grippy shoes on, knowing what Iceland was like in the winter but Pierre didn't exactly think that through and when you looked back to where he was, really behind the rest of the group he looked like Bambi.
You couldn't help but laugh at him.
"Pierre, come on here!" you say handing him the walking stick you'd been using. He thanked you before you helped him up, holding one of his hands to try and keep him stable.
You get to the top and Pierre has a red face and watering eyes from the wind at the top unlike you wearing googles and a bandana to cover your mouth and neck to keep the warmth in.
"Why didn't you prepare me better!" he groans looking around at everyone else.
"I told you what to bring!" you giggle. You then start to make the decent down the glacier seeing the top of the gushing waterfall.
"I didn't expect it to be so loud!" Pierre shouts over the really loud water. All you could do was laugh at him before the tour guide started to talk to you in Icelandic about what was coming up next on the tour. Pierre awkwardly waited off to one side not knowing what to do.
"You are really going to enjoy the next bit!" you smile taking his hand and pull him into a searing kiss. His lips were a little chapped from the cold but you didn't mind.
You guys made the drive to the blue lagoon. You split in the changing rooms and Pierre was shocked to be greeted by multiple naked men. It was normal for you and when you met him at the entrance into the water he looked almost traumatised.
"Sorry I should have warned you about what you would have walked into!" you giggle before he shakes his trying to get rid of the images burned into his brain.
You both swim around, going to grab the face scrub at the bar to plaster over you face. You loved coming to the geothermal spa. The sensation of dipping right under the water, feeling the heat warm up your skin before standing up and having the wind whip around your wet skin was a sensation like no other.
"This is very romantic" Pierre smiles, holding you as you both float around clinging to each other.
"Mmmmm I'm glad we've done this. I've been missing home far to much!" you sigh. You'd made the decision to move with Pierre, as it made sense considering he was closer to Alpine and he was travelling for most of the year.
"I'm just scared for tomorrow!" he sighs, knowing it was a day he'd been expecting for a while but it didn't feel real.
"I've told you so many times, my parents will love you. We should have seen them earlier!" you grin, pulling him in for a kiss as you wrap your legs around his waist.
"God I love you!" he exclaims twirling you round in the water.

you were in Iceland?? epic! I've been there as well (in 2022), how was it? how was the volcano? (if you don't mind me asking, feel free to ignore this)
Yes! I was there 5/18 to 6/1. I've wanted to go for like a decade and have been semi planning this trip for 2024 for a year and a half, then properly researching and planning since January. It was SO AMAZING. Exactly everything I wanted :) I was ready to go home at the end for like, my own bed and some rest, but now I miss it and want to go back lol
If you went in 2022, did you get to hike to the Fagradalsfjall eruption? I know those were the "tourist" ones that people could get closer to. The current eruptions are part of another volcanic system on the Reykjanes peninsula, Svartsengi. They aren't open for hiking. It erupted again 3 days before I left. I got to see it twice! On our last full day we drove out of Reykjavik and saw it along the highway, and then the day we left we stopped on the way to the airport. I took this with my 250 mm from literally the side of the highway:
Tumblr media
It caused no interferences with our travel. It's a fissure eruption, so the lava is erupting along a fissure and isn't as big and explosive. Initially they were afraid this one might disrupt air travel if the lava flowed to the sea (producing more ash and steam) but it didn't. It was very cool to see! I feel bad for the people who lived in Grindavik though, it’s been months since they had to evacuate and there isn't an end in sight for them yet. The Icelandic government really stays on top of things like road closures, weather reporting, etc so I checked their websites daily. The main concern with the eruption as gas pollution, so I just checked their pollution forecast to see if the wind was going to blow it over us or not (it didn't.)
Our trip went great. We had mostly good weather and apparently left just in time because this last week there's been a pretty nasty problematic storm across the whole country that left a bunch of people stranded. But we left 2 days before that. We drove 3,300 km in our rental car (2,050 miles) and did the entire ring road + some of the Westfjords + Snæfellsnes + Húsavik + Borgarfjörður Eystri as detours. Our rental car was named Jim because that was his license plate. We bonded with him lmao
Here's a few photos :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Major things I did: Katla Ice Cave, Vestmannaeyjabær, Silfra snorkeling in 2°C water, Jökulsárlon boat tour, Húsavik whale watching, countless waterfalls, puffins at Borgarfjarðarhöfn, Hvammsvik hot springs & Sky lagoon, and Mulagljufur Canyon.
It was at coldest, 2°C (35°F) with downpour rain being pushed sideways into your face by wind to the point you could hardly open your eyes. It was at hottest 19° C (66°F) and sunny. We mostly got great weather, it was only one day that was particularly bad. Mostly it was between 7°C - 13°C (45°F - 55°F) the whole time.
I NEVER saw it get dark and that was a novelty to me the entire trip. Like it never settled in as something I got used to. Presumably it got mostly dark somewhere around 2 am but I was always asleep by then and even if I woke up to go the bathroom, it'd be like 4 am and already light again. The furthest north we stayed was Ísafjörđur, and according to timeanddate.com by May it never reaches full dark, only civil twilight for 3 hours and daylight the other 21. I can't imagine if I'd actually have been there during the solstice, with just that extra month for the days to be even longer!
Now I want to go back for a short winter trip to see the northern lights and then for a proper summer trip to see the highlands (closed the whole time we were there for thawing season)

All I want is nothing more
To hear you knocking at my door
'Cause if I could see your face once more
I could die as a happy man I'm sure
As Alice boarded her flight to Reykjavik, she felt a mixture of excitement and curiosity about her next destination. Iceland was known for its breathtaking landscapes, and Alice hoped that the serene beauty of the place would provide her with further clarity and inspiration on her journey.
After a smooth flight, Alice arrived in Reykjavik and checked into a charming guesthouse in the city centre. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff immediately made her feel at home. Eager to explore, she set out to see what the city had to offer.
One afternoon, as she wandered through the streets of Reykjavik, she stumbled upon a quirky sign that caught her attention, The Icelandic Phallological Museum. Intrigued and amused, Alice decided to check it out.
The museum was unlike anything she had ever seen before. Filled with specimens and exhibits showcasing the phallic anatomy of various animals, it was both bizarre and fascinating. As she wandered through the exhibits, Alice couldn’t help but laugh at the oddity of it all. It was the perfect opportunity to share a light-hearted moment with an old friend.
She pulled out her phone and opened FaceTime, calling Natasha. After a few rings, Natasha’s face appeared on the screen, her eyes lighting up with surprise and delight.
“Alice! Long time no see! Where are you?” Natasha asked, her tone cheerful.
Alice grinned, turning the camera around to show the museum. “Nat, you won’t believe where I am right now.”
Natasha’s eyes widened as she took in the scene. “Is that… what I think it is?”
Alice laughed. “Yep, welcome to The Icelandic Phallological Museum. Thought you could use a good laugh.”
Natasha chuckled, shaking her head. “Only you, Alice. Only you.”
They spent the next few minutes exploring the museum together, with Alice showing Natasha the various exhibits and Natasha making witty comments that had Alice in stitches. It was a much-needed moment of levity amidst the more serious undertones of her journey.
“So, how’s everything going with you?” Natasha asked, her tone shifting to a more concerned note.
Alice sighed, feeling the weight of her journey once more. “It’s been… a lot. But I’m getting there. I think I’m starting to figure things out.”
Natasha nodded, her expression supportive. “You’ve always been strong, Alice. I have no doubt you’ll find your way.”
Alice smiled, feeling a surge of gratitude, for her friend’s unwavering support. “Thanks, Nat. That means a lot.”
They continued to chat for a while, catching up on each other’s lives and sharing stories. Natasha’s presence, even through the screen, was a comforting reminder of the bonds that had shaped Alice’s life.
As their conversation came to an end, Natasha offered some parting words of wisdom. “Take your time, Alice. And remember, you don’t have to do this alone. We’re here for you, whenever you need us.”
Alice nodded, her heart swelling with affection for her friend. “I know, Nat. Thank you. I’ll be back soon.”
With a final wave, they ended the call, and Alice put her phone away, feeling a renewed sense of determination. She continued her exploration of Reykjavik, taking in the sights and sounds of the vibrant city.
Later that evening, she joined a tour group heading out of the city to see the Northern Lights. As they drove away from the city lights, Alice felt a heavy sense of anticipation. When they finally arrived at a remote viewing spot, the sky was clear, and the first hints of the aurora began to appear.
Alice stood alone, her breath visible in the frigid air, as the Northern Lights danced across the sky. The vibrant colours shifted and changed in mesmerizing patterns, their beauty only deepening her sense of loss. She felt a profound connection to the universe, as if the lights were a reminder of the beauty that existed even in the darkest times, but also of the void left by Bucky’s absence.
Her thoughts turned to Bucky, the memory of him disappearing into dust during the battle with Thanos still haunting her. The pain was sharp, a constant ache that never seemed to dull. She missed him deeply, their bond a ghostly presence that lingered with every step she took.
Pulling out her phone, she opened the last message thread she had with him. Her fingers trembled as she typed out a message, knowing he would never read it but needing to express her feelings.
Hey, Buck. I’m in Iceland, watching the Northern Lights. They’re really beautiful. I wish you were here to see them with me. I miss you. So much.
She hit send, knowing it would go nowhere. It was a small, futile gesture, a way to keep his memory alive and to cope with the overwhelming sadness. As she looked back up at the sky, tears welled up in her eyes, spilling over and freezing on her cheeks.
“I love you, Buck,” she whispered to the glowing sky, her voice breaking. “I hope you’re at peace, wherever you are.”
The Northern Lights continued their ethereal dance, a silent witness to her grief. Alice stood there for a long time, feeling the cold seep into her bones, but unwilling to leave the spot where she felt closes to him. The beauty of the lights seemed a heartbreaking reminder that life continued, even amidst the pain of loss, and she vowed to carry his memory with her, wherever her journey might lead.
Alone under the vast Iceland sky, Alice felt the crushing weight of her solitude. She remembered the way Bucky’s eyes lit up when he smiled, the warmth of his touch, and the sound of his laughter. Every memory was a knife in her heart, cutting deeper with the realization that those moments were gone forever.
“Why did you have to go?” she cried out, her voice raw with anguish.
There was no answer, only the relentless dance of the lights above, indifferent to her pain. Alice felt the emptiness around her, the vast expanse of the universe that had taken Bucky away. It was a cruel reminder of her powerlessness, her inability to change the past or bring him back.
As the night grew colder, Alice stayed there, her tears mingling with the snow. She whispered his name over and over, as if by saying it, she could summon him back to her side. But the world remained silent, the stars above unyielding in their distant beauty.
Alice knew she had to move forward, but at that moment, all she could do was grieve. She stayed until the lights began to fade, the darkness swallowing the last traces of the aurora. Then, slowly, she rose to her feet, feeling the numbness in her limbs and the deep ache in her heart.
With one last look at the sky, she whispered, “Goodbye, Bucky. I will always love you.” And with that, she turned and walked back to the waiting bus, the weight of her loss heavy on her shoulders, the road ahead uncertain and lonely.
Alice ended up staying in Reykjavik until January 2021, spending Christmas and New Year there. Unlike the other places she had visited, she didn’t make new friends in Iceland. The city’s charm and kindness of its people were there, but Alice felt a distance she couldn’t bridge. The Christmas markets, the decorations, and the festive spirit all felt muted, as if she was watching life from behind a glass wall.
Every night, she would venture out to see the Northern Lights, finding solace in their ethereal beauty. These nightly visits became her ritual, a way to feel connected to Bucky despite the vast emptiness left by his absence. She would stand under the shimmering sky and talk to him, her breath visible in the icy air.
It wasn’t always sad. Sometimes, she would tell him funny things that happened to her during the day, like the time she slipped on the ice and a kind stranger helped her up, or the quirky local traditions she discovered. She would laugh, imagining his reactions, his teasing comments, the way his eyes would crinkle with amusement.
Other times, she would cry, the pain of his loss overwhelming her. She would whisper her fears and regrets, her longing for the future they had planned together. The nights seemed to hold her grief, the auroras a silent witness to her sorrow and her love.
One particularly cold night, Alice stood in the snow, looking up at the sky. The Northern Lights were especially vibrant, their colours dancing in mesmerizing patterns. She felt a deep ache in her chest as she spoke softly into the night.
“Hey Bucky, today I saw a child playing with a snowman, and it reminded me of that time we built one together in Italy. Remember how we gave it that ridiculous hat? You said it needed personality.”
She chuckled softly, tears glistening in her eyes. “I miss you so much. It’s hard without you, but these lights… they make me feel closer to you somehow. I like to think you’re out there, watching them with me.”
As the colours shifted and changed above her, Alice felt a mix of emotions – sadness, love, a touch of peace. She stayed there for hours, talking to Bucky, sharing her heart with the night sky.
Christmas came and went quietly. Alice tried to find some joy in the holiday, decorating a small tree in her guesthouse room and buying herself a gift. But the emptiness was always there, a shadow over everything. On Christmas Eve, she stood once more under the Northern Lights, her heart heavy with memories.
“Merry Christmas, Bucky,” she whispered. “I love you.”
The lights seemed to pulse in response, a fleeting illusion of a connection. Alice wiped her tears away, feeling a small, fragile sense of hope. She knew she had to keep going, to live the life they had both fought for, even if it was without him.
As the final days of 2020 slipped away, Alice found herself reflecting on the year that had passed. It had been a tough year, but also filled with resilience and strength. Reykjavik, with its stark winter beauty, had become a silent companion in her grief. The snow-covered streets with the shimmering Northern Lights had witnessed her tears, her whispered conversations with Bucky, and the slow, painful process of healing.
New Year’s Eve arrived, and the city was alive with anticipation. Fireworks lit up the sky, casting a brilliant glow over the dark landscape. Alice watched from her hotel window, feeling a strange mix of emotions. She missed Bucky more than ever, the ache in her heart a constant reminder of his absence. Yet, there was also a flicker of hope, a tiny spark that refused to be extinguished.
She wrapped herself in a warm coat and ventured outside, drawn once again to the Northern Lights. The auroras were faint that night, but still present, their gentle colours weaving through the stars. Alice stood alone in the quiet, the distant sounds of celebration reaching her ears. She took a deep breath and began to speak, her words carried away by the cold wind.
“Buck, it’s New Year’s Eve. I can’t believe it’s been over two years since you… since you are gone. I’ve missed you every single day. I wish you were here with me, to see this beautiful place, to start the new year together…”
She paused, looking up at the sky, the faint colours of the auroras reflecting in her eyes. “I don’t know what this next year will bring, but I promise to keep going. For you, for us. I’ll try to find happiness again, even if it’s hard. I’ll keep talking to you, keep sharing my life with you. I love you, Buck.”
As the clock struck midnight, Alice closed her eyes and made a silent wish. She wished for strength, for peace, and for the courage to face whatever the future held. The fireworks exploded above, a dazzling display of light and colour, and for a moment, she felt a sense of connection, as if Bucky was there with her, sharing the moment.
As the new year approached, Alice made a silent promise to herself and to Bucky. She would carry his memory with her, let it be a source of strength rather than sorrow. The road ahead was uncertain and lonely, but she would face it with the love they had shared, a love that no snap could ever erase. And so, in the cold, beautiful nights of Reykjavik, under the endless dance of the Northern Lights, Alice found a way to hold on an to keep moving forward, one step at a time.
The days after New Year’s turned into weeks, and Alice slowly began to feel a shift within herself. The pain of losing Bucky was still there, a deep scar that would never fully heal, but it was no longer the all-consuming force it once was. She found herself looking forward to each new day, curious about what it might bring. The memories of Bucky became a source of strength, a reminder of the love they had shared.
By the time January came to an end, Alice knew it was time to leave Reykjavik. She had found a measure of peace there, but she also knew that her journey wasn’t over. There were still places to see, experiences to have, and a life to live. She packed her bags with a mix of sadness and anticipation, ready to face whatever came next.
On her last night in Reykjavik, Alice stood under the Northern Lights one final time. The auroras were particularly vibrant, their colours dancing across the sky in a mesmerizing display. She spoke to Bucky, her voice steady and filled with a quiet resolve.
“Thank you, Bucky, for everything. For your love, your strength, your memory. You’ve helped me more than you could ever know. I’ll carry you with me, always. Goodbye, Reykjavik. Goodbye, my love.”
With that, Alice turned and walked away, her heart a little lighter, her steps a little surer. The road ahead was still uncertain, but she was ready to face it, carrying the memory of Bucky and the beauty of the Northern Lights with her.
The next few months, Alice began her journey through Europe. She immersed herself in the art and culture of Italy, wandered the sunlit streets of Spain, and savoured the vibrant life of Portugal. Each place offered new experiences and distractions, but the shadow of her loss was always there. She met people, shared stories, and even found moments of joy.
By October 2021, Alice felt the pull of the north once more and decided to travel to Norway. She found herself in a small village nestled among the fjords and mountains, a place where time seemed to stand still. The cold was intense, but the beauty of the landscape was worth it.
The village was charming, with its snow-covered rooftops and twinkling lights. Alice quickly became fascinated by Norse mythology, spending her days reading about the gods and legends, visiting ancient sites, and talking to the locals about their cultural heritage. She found solace in the stories of Odin, Thor, and Freyja, but it was the tales of Loki that struck a deeper chord. Loki, like Bucky, had been taken away by Thanos, and the memory of his charm made her heart ache.
One evening, while she was enjoying a warm drink at the village pub, she found herself surrounded by curious locals, eager to hear about her travels and the stories she had gathered.
Word had spread quickly through the village that Alice was an Avenger. The locals were fascinated by her presence, and many had joined her in the pub to hear her tales. As she shared stores of her adventures, the conversation inevitably turned to Norse mythology. She mentioned her fascination with Loki, and how his stories resonated with her on a personal level.
An elderly man named Bjorn leaned forward, his eyes twinkling with curiosity. “You’ve actually met Loki, haven’t you? The real one, not just the legend.”
Alice hesitated, a mixture of emotions washing over her. She nodded slowly. “Yes, I’ve met him.”
The villagers’ eyes widened, and a murmur of excitement ran through the room. Gudrun, the village storyteller, spoke up. “What was he like? Is he anything like the stories?”
Alice took a deep breath, thinking back to her encounters with Loki. “He was… complex. Mischievous and cunning, yes, but there was more to him. He was also capable being charming, and intelligent. He was not just a villain; there was a lot of depth to him.”
The locals nodded, their faces reflecting a mix of amusement and intrigue. Ingrid, a young woman with bright eyes, asked, “Did you ever get to know him personally?”
Alice smiled sorrowfully, feeling a pang of nostalgia. “Yes, I did. More personally than I ever expected.” She paused, realizing she had said too much.
Bjorn leaned in, his curiosity piqued. “It sounds like there’s a story there. Care to share?”
Alice hesitated, but the warmth and genuine interest of the villagers encouraged her to open up. “Loki and I… we had a complicated relationship. There were moments when I saw a different side of him, a side that was vulnerable and even kind. But it was always overshadowed by his nature and the choices he made.”
The room fell silent as the villagers absorbed her words. Gudrun’s eyes sparkled with understanding. “Love and loss, intertwined with myth and reality. It sounds like something out of our old sagas.”
Alice chuckled softly. “I suppose it does. It wasn’t easy, and there were a lot of conflicting emotions. But meeting him, knowing him, it is something I wouldn’t change for anything.”
Ingrid spoke again, her voice soft. “Do you think he ever found peace?”
Alice looked down, her heart heavy with memories. “I hope so. He deserved it, after everything. Despite his flaws, he had a good heart buried deep inside.”
The villagers nodded, a sense of friendship and shared understanding settling over the group. They spent the rest of the evening sharing their own stories and legends, finding common ground in their experiences of love, loss, and the complexity of human nature.
As the night wore on and the crowd began to thin, Bjorn raised his glass in a toast. “To Loki, and to those we’ve loved and lost. May their stories live on in our hearts.”
Alice raised her glass, a small smile playing on her lips. “To Loki.”
With that, they drank, a sense of connection and closure filling the room. Alice knew her journey was far from over, but in that moment, surrounded by new friends and shared stories, she felt a little less alone.
Alice settled into the rhythm of village life in Norway. The long winter nights were filled with the warmth of her new friendships and comfort of shared tales. As the months passed, Alice became a beloved member of the community, her tales of adventure and loss resonating deeply with the villagers.
She found solace in the simple routines of the beauty of the Norwegian landscape. The crisp air, snow-covered mountains, and serene fjords provided a tranquil backdrop for her continued healing. Each day brought new discoveries and small joys, from learning ski to joining in local festivals. She even spent Christmas was Bjorn’s family.
In February, the village prepared for the annual celebration of the Sami National Day. Alice was invited to participate in the festivities, which included traditional music, dance, and a grand feast. She felt a sense of belonging as she joined the villagers in their celebrations, the warmth and hospitality enveloping her like a comforting blanket.
One evening, as she stood on a hill overlooking the village, the Northern Lights appeared once again, painting the sky with their ethereal glow. Alice felt a familiar ache in her heart but also a deep sense of peace. She spoke softly into the night, her words carried away by the cold wind.
“Buck, I wish you could see this. It’s so beautiful here. I’ve found some peace, and I think I’m almost ready to move forward. I love you, Buck.”
The next morning, as the village bustled with activity, Alice prepared to say her goodbyes. The villagers gathered to see her off, their faces reflecting a mixture of sadness and pride. Bjorn, Gudrun, Ingrid, and many others hugged her tightly, their heartfelt words of farewell echoing in her ears.
“Remember, you’re always welcome here,” Gudrun said, her eyes glistening with tears. “You’ve become a part of our family, and we’ll miss you.”
Alice smiled, her heart full. “Thank you for everything. You’ve given me more than you know.”
With one last look at the village she had come to love, Alice set off on the next leg of her journey. Next stop: Sokovia.

(The Northern Lights)
Depression was a common thing in the Eurodyne household. It normally hit at different times luckily enough, their bad weeks never usually lined up. But the one time it did, Kerry booked them a trip. He needed to get them both out of the city, away from stress and reminders.
Kerry wanted to spice things up, go somewhere Vax had never been. He tried to keep it to his place in Florida or Italy simply for his husband’s comfort, but he felt they needed something new, and see something Vax would be all over.
So next thing he knew, they were on their plane to Iceland. Vax was mostly quiet, lost in thought as he usually was as Kerry answered emails and did the less fun part of his job.
“What’s goin’ on in that pretty head?” Kerry spoke up after about an hour of silence, making Vax look up. His exhaustion was hitting him hard, and Kerry wished he didn’t over work himself like this.
“Static. I think if I had a single thought right now I’d explode.” Vax got up from his seat and moved to cuddle up with Kerry, the older man moving his laptop away in favor of his favorite person.
“Understandable… try not to think too hard. You take your meds today?”
“Yes Vik.” Vax mumbled sarcastically.
“Hey now, don’t get sassy because I’m making sure you’re doing what you’re supposed to.” Kerry held him to his chest, looking out the window. He hoped he had planned this right.
When they landed, Kerry got them checked into their lodge as soon as possible, they had a tour to get too and he could see that Vax’s interest had been caught.
He had Vax out of the lodge in ten minutes flat, basically dragging him. Vax had no idea what was going on, but he was into it. And Kerry had to keep that interest for the next few hours.
Okay, the beginning of the tour was kind of a drag, Kerry wouldn’t lie… but goddamn was it worth it when he saw what he had dragged his husband all the way up for.
“Aurora.” Vax breathed, staring at the night sky with childlike wonder. Kerry was glad the Space station hadn’t completely ruined the stars for Vax.
Kerry leaned into his side, for warmth and support. This was totally worth it.
“Can I-“
“Yes you can tell me facts, that’s why we’re here.” Vax was his own personal stars podcast sometimes.
“So basically, the Northern lights, or Aurora borealis, is actually sun storms. But our atmosphere protects us from them, they’re as pretty as they are violent.”
“Sounds like someone I know.”
“Yeah Venus is fucking violent sometimes-“
“You asshole. You knew who I was talking about.”
“A n y w a y, speaking of Venus, did you know that the lights were named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora? And the Greek god of winds, Boreas?”
“I did not.”
“Yeah, it’s really fuckin cool when you think about it-“
Vax proceeded to take about the lights for the next 15 minutes, until they had faded and his face fell a bit.
“What?” Kerry frowned.
“It’s just said something so beautiful only lasts for a short amount of time. We’re lucky we even got to see them.”
“…kinda like life.”
Vax’s arm tightened around him, and Kerry looked up to find grey eyes staring down at him.
“You didn’t drag me up here to serve divorce papers did you? Because we are stuck in this shit together, no one else could possibly-“
Kerry cut him off with a kiss, holding his face with a small smile when they pulled back.
“I’m genuinely amazed you haven’t exploded yet… I’m not going anywhere.” Kerry whispered, bumping their foreheads together.
“Good…” Vax whispered back, looking back up at the stars.

Good Things In 2023
It’s that time of year again! Time to remember all the good things that happened in 2023. I’ve done this since 2017, and highly recommend doing this as a fun way to reflect (and to have something for future reference when you are feeling Down.)
woof ok here we go
PERSONAL
I visited two countries I haven't been to before: the Netherlands and Iceland!
The Netherlands: mostly Amsterdam but did also pop down to The Hague for a day. Did the Van Gogh Museum, the Anne Frank House, the Rijksmuseum, the Bloemenmarkt, a canal boat tour, the Royal Palace, the Mauritshuis.
Iceland: I was there for less than 48 hours but I saw THE NORTHERN LIGHTS!!!! they were subtler than I expected but so cool. also did the Perlan Museum and a Lava Show, which ruled.
Related: I turned 30 this year!
My dear friend Sam came to visit me in Dublin in June! The highlight of her visit was going with her to see Hozier at Malahide Castle.
Speaking of which, Hozier dropped UNREAL UNEARTH which isn't personal, per se, but is very personal to me
My sister visited me in November! We squeezed a lot in her time here, but highlights were Glendalough, the Hill of Tara, and the Galway Christmas Market.
A few aunts went on a trip to Ireland this fall and I joined them for a bit up in Donegal, as well as a day trip to Derry, which I'd not been to before.
Completely fucking forgot about this but I did write a 158k word long ROGUE ONE / FRINGE AU, ENDLESS FORMS MOST BEAUTIFUL. it was a real fuckin bitch to finish, let me tell you that
I got really into MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE over the summer (don't ask) and wrote a couple short pieces inspired by the most recent movie, DEAD RECKONING - PART ONE: LADY LAZARUS and WORTHY THE NAME OF SIR KNIGHT.
I jumped back on my bullshit in October and wrote a long, extended epilogue to my BINARY STAR SYSTEMS trilogy: TWO DESERTS. the way the series ended was always correct and good but it was fun to write this extended epilogue focusing on the fallout, the question of what it's like to live past the end of your myth.
Anything bolded below is something I particularly enjoyed and recommend. 
MOVIES
2023 movies I saw and liked:
M3GAN
KNOCK AT THE CABIN
65
BONO AND THE EDGE, A SORT OF HOMECOMING WITH DAVID LETTERMAN
DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES
RENFIELD
THREE MUSKETEERS: D'ARTAGNAN
JOHN MULANEY: BABY J
SISU
THE LITTLE MERMAID
SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER VERSE
ASTEROID CITY
INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE: DEAD RECKONING - PART ONE
BARBIE
OPPENHEIMER
PAST LIVES
ELEMENTAL
A HAUNTING IN VENICE
CHEVALIER
KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON
BOTTOMS
THE ROYAL HOTEL
DREAM SCENARIO
ANATOMY OF A FALL
THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES
EILEEN
NAPOLEON
GODZILLA MINUS ONE
FERRARI
2022 movies I saw and liked:
TAR
THE LOST CITY
WOMEN TALKING
TV
THE LAST OF US
PEAKY BLINDERS
BOOKS
super embarrassing how few books I read this year:
"Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires" by Douglas Rushkoff
"Donegal Folk Tales" by Joe Brennan
"Listen to the Land Speak: A Journey into the Wisdom of What Lies Beneath Us" by Manchan Magan
"Hell Bent" by Leigh Bardugo
"The Book of M" by Peng Shepherd
"The World We Make" by NK Jemisin
"The Echo Wife" by Sarah Gailey
"Daisy Jones and the Six" by Taylor Jenkins Reid
"White Cat, Black Dog: Stories" by Kelly Link
"Yellowface" by RF Kuang
"Ithaca" by Claire North
"Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI" by David Grann
"A Heart That Works" by Rob Delaney
"Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier
"The Crying Book" by Heather Christie
"In the Dream House" by Carmen Maria Machado
"Rogues: True Stories of Grifters, Killers, Rebels, and Crooks" by Patrick Radden Keefe
"Fleabag" by Phoebe Waller-Bridge
"The Hurricane Wars" by Thea Guanzon
OTHER GOOD THINGS
*some of these things are Good as in well-written or well-made, but maybe not Good in topic.
"Eurydice" by Adrienne Su
"What Happens to a School Shooter's Sister?" by Jennifer Gonnerman for The New Yorker. A high school student murders his parents and several students at his school, and his sister is left to pick up the pieces. really powerful story on unconditional love.
"A Friend Died, Her Novel Unfinished. Could I Realize Her Vision?" by Leslie Jamison for The New Yorker. the grief of losing not only a dear friend but her art as well.
"Fuck you, I don't know?"
Werner Herzog pronounces Eeyore.
George Washington's Dream for America, an SNL sketch.
Judi Dench performs Shakespeare.
"Walking Brittany Home" by Devin Faraci for Washington Post. a really beautiful piece on death and love.
This thread on the struggle of trying to be fashionable in Ireland.
"The Return of the Marriage Plot: Why everyone is so eager for men and women to get hitched" by Rebecca Traister for The Cut.
"We Were Never Supposed to See Our Own Faces This Much" by Lola Christina Alao for Dazed Digital. on social media and personal reflection.
sunwoof
this story about Jimmy Buffett I loved
"She Wasn't Able to Get an Abortion. Now She's A Mom. Soon She'll Start Seventh Grade" by Charlotte Alter for Time. the cruelty is the point.
had a pilot named Ken yesterday and he introduced himself by saying his job is plane
"Cillian Murphy might be the star of a massive movie atm but to me he will always be the guy that showed up in the rain to our abortion rights marches"
"The 'Troubling Reverberations' at the End of OPPENHEIMER, Explained" by Bilge Ebiri for Vulture. it's an absolutely devastating ending, but the fact remains: there was no other way to end it.
this obituary for the great Sinéad O'Connor.
Kiké Hernandez returned to the Dodgers!
this behind the scenes video from the filming of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE: DEAD RECKONING - PART ONE where Tom Cruise's co-stars watch him drive a motorcycle off a cliff.
"How Christopher Nolan Learned to Stop Worrying and Love AI" by Maria Streshinsky for Wired. good interview with Nolan, one of my favorite filmmakers / artists. (anyone who's ever read anything I've written is probably like yes, this is very obvious.)
"The Perils and Promises of Penis-Enlargement Surgery" by Ava Kofman for The New Yorker. an absolutely BONKERS but super important piece!
a new ending to RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, lmao
"The Return of Ryan Gosling" by Zach Baron for GQ. really great profile writing going on here!
"LOST Illusions: The Untold Story of the Hit Show's Poisonous Culture" by Maureen Ryan for Vanity Fair. LOST is one of my favorite shows and has been super influential on my work. (again, this is probably very obvious). this piece is devastating in how it reveals the terrible racism and sexism behind the scenes of a show I have loved. important.
Henry Kissinger died this year (GOOD THINGS BABYYY) and this piece by Nick Turse, which came out in May, is a good explainer on why that's such good news: "Kissinger's Killing Fields".
"Talking With 'Swiftie Dads' at a Taylor Swift Concert" by Eileen Cartter for GQ. I thought this was very sweet.
The New York Times had an interactive feature about Connie Chung and her impact on young Chinese-American women, particularly the ones named after her. I love this video of her meeting some of them.
"Will A.I. Become the New McKinsey?" by Ted Chiang for The New Yorker. Chiang is best known as the writer of STORY OF YOUR LIFE which was adapted into ARRIVAL, so it's wise to listen to him when it comes to tech and science.
Loved this speech Mark Hamill gave about Carrie Fisher at her Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony.
Accents white people can still do.
this absolutely incredible slapstick esque unintentional comedy scene.
As always, tagging anyone who’d like to do this!
@magalis @callioope @earnestfeeling @illuminahsti @fortysevenswrites @vaderkat @leaiorganas @garethsedwards @rifle-yes @buffyrat @alittlemomentum @i-am-slain @rogue-rook

Ohh you also have been to Iceland! I actually lived there in 2016 💕 what did you see?
oh neat! i went in 2014 as part of a student exchange on the topic of sustainability, so i lived with a student there for a week or so, we went to school with them but also saw a lot of natural sites (skógafoss, seljalandsfoss, thingvellir national park, the geyser strokkur, eyjafjallajökull - i didn't go see glaciers but my teachers did) as well as a geothermal power plant, the blue lagoon, a veggie-growing greenhouse where i left my cell phone and it got stolen, a horseback riding ranch where we went on a pony tour, and of course reyjkavík, namely the outside of the hallgrímskirkja, the harpa, and an insanely overpriced burger and salad place.
didn't see any northern lights, sadly, but did make hamburgers out of reindeer meat, saw snow, and started my first (very short-lived) relationship with an emo boy from the spanish delegation LOL but i mostly miss the natural landscapes, iceland truly is so beautiful!
did you live in reykjavík? how was your time there?
