starter for: @laureljacobs location: laurel's office
"I did some digging," Edie informs her as she walks into the room without an invitation, cradling an open file of documents between her hands.
"The divorce had an infidelity clause -- but I noticed that his name was on an apartment out of state. He said in mediation that he used it for Air BnB to make extra cash but I called the building at they said they don't allow that as per their lease. They also said a redhead in her twenties lives there but the check comes from him every month. Turns out the girl used to be his secretary. I'm thinking he's put her up and we've got a sugar baby situation -- which would null the infidelity clause and entitle our client to fifty percent of all his assets."
And with that influx of information, Edie places the file onto Laurel's desk for approval.
"That's what you meant by 'look the file over' right?"

she had been checking every day for any single mention of him. which was probably in vain, considering Laurel wasn't even able to explain her own history fully - so who's to say that he wasn't the same way? but then one day...it paid off. Frank Delfino, there he was. looking older than she remembered, sure, but just as good. if not better. which was how she had ended up here, having made an appointment at the company he was now working for, apparently. under a fake name, of course, unsure how he would react to seeing her again. hell, she didn't even know how she was going to react.
swallowing hard Laurel approached the front desk, her smile tight at the ( attractive, of course ) woman working there. ❝I have an appointment with Mr. Delfi-❞ footsteps cut off her words, turning instinctively to see who it was. ❝Frank,❞ she breathed out quietly, standing almost completely still as she took him in. @lcvenderhcze

she knew it wasn't the best idea to approach someone in the middle of the dark. hell, her first year of law school had taught her as much & much more. but even though Laurel told herself to ignore it, to walk away, she still found herself pulled towards the man who seemed to have just woken up. too close, apparently, jumping back a bit as he clearly needed his own space. ❝hey, it's alright. I didn't mean to startle you.❞ what was she getting herself into now? clearing her throat she gestured around them. ❝you're in London. is this...not where you expected to be?❞ it seemed reminiscent to when she had woken up her herself, glad that it had been in her own apartment instead of the middle of a public area. @springbandit
Twitching violently and shouting for a few moments beforehand, Dennis woke up with a jump in the soft grass in the middle of the park. He was panting and afraid, which was only exacerbated by the sudden realisation that somebody was leaning over him. "Who are you? What's going on?" the words all but spat out of his mouth as he arched his back, curling further into the grass to try and create as much distance between them both as humanly possible. "Where am I?"

ㅤㅤㅤ─ word count: 2.2k
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤprev partㅤㅤㅤ.ㅤㅤㅤmasterlistㅤㅤㅤ.ㅤㅤㅤnext partㅤㅤㅤ.
ㅤㅤA/N. i did not ever expect to do a jensen pov but honestly i just felt like this one deserved it. he's such a little rat but i'd let him hit it raw ok. before you say girl stand up... ik u were thinking it too... i see u ...
laurel dance academy was fucking cute. a prestigious little building deep in the forestry of outer dallas, tucked away from prying eyes and wanderers, full of some of the prettiest girls that jensen had ever seen in his entire life.
they were all just as hyperfocused on their education and practices as you were, which meant that the most he got for wandering down the long, winding staircases and stopping to look in every two way mirror was just a look.
a look! he was fucking trespassing, and all any of the college aged women and scattered men did was eye him, like they were just as aware of how he didn’t belong as he was.
dangerous, dangerous. he was already trying to think up ways on how to get away with this more often.
at least he was here for a purpose, and not just in an attempt to get a look at you in your little leotard again. he wondered if you tossed it after he debauched it, or if you’d thrown it in the wash and figured that was enough to get the stain of him off of your skin and your clothes. unfortunately for you, it wasn’t going to be that easy. he rather liked playing with his toys more than once.
the dean of the school, tracy geralds, had agreed to a meeting with him. it honestly was a long shot, making that request in the first place, but if powerless was going to become something other than a glorified garage band, he had to take some risks that didn’t involve squatting in an abandoned venue.
they needed shows, concerts, fucking get togethers if they had to settle for that. and while they were still clinging the dust out of every nook and cranny inside of sunset blvd’s walls, they couldn’t do it there.
laurel had a stage. it was more designed for an orchestra, really, or, you know — dancers. but it was the first idea he’d gotten in their pursuit for getting the band’s name out there. it had nothing to do with you, even though he’d gotten the idea from your affiliation at the school. it was just too damn easy.
he raps his knuckles on the dean’s closed, cloudy glass door. he waits one, two, three seconds before deciding to twist the knob and invite himself in. what was she going to do, expel him?
she’s an older woman, pale blonde hair streaked white in places. her eyes are deep brown, thin lines in the corners, and deeper ones around her mouth. her lips twitch upwards in a small, polite smile.
“jensen, is it?” she asks, moving around neatly stacked papers on her desk to clear an open space in its center. “go on, have a seat. i’m not going to bite.”
“hey, you never know,” jensen jokes as he steps further into the room, tugging the chair in front of her desk out just enough to slip in the open space. he collapses into the cushion, stretching his legs out as much as he could in the small area. “i should thank you. for meetin’ me like this.”
tracy geralds picks a pen out from the container at the corner farthest from jensen, and clicks it a couple of times. “i wouldn’t do that yet,” she says, grabbing a paper from one of the file folders. he was throwing this. she wasn’t even giving him her full attention which, he wasn’t entitled to it, but how was he supposed to flirt his way into getting what he wanted if she wouldn’t look into his eyes?
“i think i’m gonna put my trust in you, tracy— i can call you tracy, can’t i?” his lips quirk in that panty dropping grin he utilizes so often. that smile’s latest victim had been you, and he could still hear the sound of your restrained moans in his ears. “me n’ my crew aren’t gonna fuck too badly with your stage, if you allow us to use the space.”
her steely, dark eyes flick up at him. “i’d appreciate if you didn’t say fuck here, mr. ackles; not when you’re trying to swindle your way into getting something you want for free.”
“oh, i wasn’t expecting free,” he quickly interrupts, and his eyes fall to the curve of her button up shirt, gaze tracing the form of her chest— or, lack thereof. god fucking damn it. he had so little patience, and so did she, and he had nothing to work off of.
her thinned lips press into an even thinner grimace. “you think i’m going to be bribed with the promise of your—”
a knock sounds at the door before she can finish, and jensen is almost relieved. he’s not in the mood to get his ass handed to him by a woman twenty years his senior, telling him that all he had to offer was, in fact, weak as shit.
“come on in,” tracy says, her near sneer of a grimace still directed at jensen.
he was fucking throwing this.
the door creaks open, and he can’t help but be nosy. he’s already here. he tilts his head back in the seat to look at who was stepping in.
his smile doubles in size, becoming something more genuine and less forced, at the sight of you.
your eyes fall down to his instantly before they ever glance at the dean, and he shoots you a wink before turning around again, legs spread and entirely too comfortable for someone who wasn’t necessarily welcome.
“oh,” you say finally, three seconds too late. so damn cute, he can’t stand it. like a little bunny! “i’m sorry, i can come back later, dean ger—”
“don’t worry about him. we’re all but finished here,” the dean says, and he has to physically bite back the scoff that raises from his chest. yeah, he’d thrown this shit completely down the drain. unless…
your eyes glance between him and the dean a couple of times, before you clear your throat. “the cd, with the sleeping beauty songs? it, um, isn’t playing the music anymore.”
he’s never seen you look so sheepish before. the urge to tease you about it is right there on the tip of his tongue, but he shouldn’t right now. he’s pocketing the information for later, though.
“really?” the dean asks, and jensen looks at her again, seeing the shock written on her face. mixed in with it is the slightest hint of fond exasperation. no surprise that you were a damn teacher’s pet type. “it’s brand new.”
you make a dismissive sound. he’s glancing between the two of you like he has any fucking clue what this means; like he has a right to learn it, either. “beats me.”
“i’ll go and take a look at it after this,” tracy assures, “and might just make a request for another, just in case. can’t have our aurora without her tracks, can we?”
aurora.
no wonder you were a teacher’s pet, you were the lead of whatever the hell performance you guys were talking about. jensen didn’t know how performances worked when it came to dance, but he knew disney princesses — of course he knew disney princesses — and could context clue the shit out of it to assume that you being aurora was a big deal.
“thank you,” you say, and the door creaks again, like you’re about to leave.
that won’t do. jensen sits forward in his chair, elbows on his knees, head swiveling around again to look at you. you really are a cute thing, dressed in a pale pink leotard and a matching skirt. your hair was slipping out of the tight bun it was usually in, front strands falling in loose ringlets.
the smile didn’t work on the dean, but he knew that it worked on you. “hey, sweetheart. no hello?”
the silence is so fucking heavy that, for the first time in what must have been ages, jensen regrets opening his mouth. the smile on his face becomes less charming and so much more strained.
you don’t say a word. something about that irks him; the way you stare at him like a deer caught in headlights, your pretty pink lips parted and unspeaking.
the dean does, though, a hint of incredulity in her voice. “you know each other.” spoken like a question and a statement at once.
“neighbors,” jensen explains, and the white lie rolls off of his tongue so easily that it could have been the truth. the best lies were part truth, anyways, weren’t they? he’s starting to relax in his seat again, realizing he could salvage this. it was possible. his eyes flit back over to the dean. “she’s actually why i thought of laurel in the first place. i know all about the grandeur of your auditorium from her.”
you’re glaring at him. he feels it like fire on the back of his skull. dean geralds’s eyebrows shoot up to her hairline. “i didn’t know you hung out with… such a crowd as this, y/n.”
the dean’s eyes bounce between jensen’s heavily tatted hands, his rugged beard, his ( definitely ) mussed hair, and then to behind him. jensen turns, too, unable to resist seeing your expression at such an observation.
your lips are curled in the most delicious scowl, your eyes full of hate and fire, as they fall to his. “surprise,” you bite out, and how pretty anger sounds in your voice. he’s heard nothing but that, until now, but it never fails to knock him off of his high horse every time.
“well, in that case,” the dean sighs heavily, “you must know about the fact that he wants to share the school’s auditorium, i assume.”
your anger deepens into vibrant red. your cheeks flush with it. jensen half wonders if it’s because you don’t want him infiltrating your space, or because you’re thinking about all the opportunities he’s going to get to see you now. he can almost see the memory of a few nights prior flickering in your eyes.
“jensen’s a bit of a fool when he sets his attention on something,” you say, and he has to physically bite back the laugh that wants to spill out of his mouth because of it. “it’s all he’s been talking about. doesn’t shut up about it.”
oh, you are fucking feisty today. he has half a mind to bring up the fact that he knew how to stamp out that fire in you, but he won’t. not in front of your dean, at least.
“i’m sure you can enlighten me on why he wants laurel so bad, in relation to the tens of other actual venues in the vicinity?” jensen is not a popular person in this room, but he’s having too much fun seeing you on the spot, practically squirming against the door, to do the right thing and tuck tail. “all the information he’s given me is poor attempts at bribery and flattery.”
ouch. whatever. couldn’t win them all.
your lips upturn at the corners, though, and that makes everything but you in the room disappear. forget the old ass woman behind him, and the clicking of her pen, the scratch of the ink against whatever she was scribbling down. you were captivating.
“his band’s trying to fix up sunset blvd,” you say, your shoulders lifting in a little shrug to punctuate it. “until then, they don’t have anything to perform in. i’m guessing that. i don’t know. he doesn’t tell me any of the whys on his goals.”
hot damn, were you good. he could read each of your expressions like a book, and apparently, you could read his.
“i assume he didn’t want to go far from home,” you add slowly, like you’re trying to piece together his motives as you spell them out loud, “and knew that i went to school here.” he didn’t. but pretty little lindsey from destiny dance studio spills everyone’s secrets when she has someone’s head between her legs. “and figured he’d take a chance.”
the dean made a humming sort of noise behind him, contemplative in nature. this was farther than he ever would have gotten with her, because now that he’d gotten his eyes on you again, the idea of fucking his way into a deal with someone with more gray hairs than blonde made him didn’t sound like such a great plan anyways.
the rolling chair she sits in groans, and he turns over his shoulder to look at her again, even if it physically aches to pull his attention from you and that fiery look in your expression. “thank you, dear. you may return to class. i’ll be down to check that cd out momentarily. and you,” she says, glancing at jensen now, “you’re incredibly lucky, mr. ackles, that the odds somehow fell into your favor.”
the office door closes behind him at the same time as jensen’s heart stumbles in his chest. his mouth opens and closes a couple of times before it settles on a grin. “i’m very lucky, yeah. i’ll make sure to let her know how thankful i am.”
and he planned on keeping that promise, at the very least.

Dalya
“Rider” © Cindy Avellno, accessed at her ArtStation here
[And Monster Girl Summer is officially a Go! Part of my goal with Monster Girl Summer is to reflect on the games I’ve run in the past. And to sort of mentally catalog how many of the PCs started out monstrous, or became monstrous over the course of play. Like Dalya here. Dalya was originally a human, but ended up reincarnated as a gnoll. And was in the half of the party that survived their fight with Karzoug, as opposed to being wiped out in round 1. Time stop + reverse gravity + prismatic sphere, don’tcha know.
I ran Rise of the Runelords in 3.5. Dalya was originally built using the battle dancer class from Dragon Compendium. So making her a brawler was a easy choice for the conversion.]
Dalya CR 18 CG Humanoid (gnoll) This tall, lean hyena headed woman has her hair done up in a dyed fringe, and tattoos are visible beneath her fur. She wears leather armor and carries a buckler and spear.
Born to an exiled Shoanti father and a Varisian merchant mother, Dalya was used to living on the road. But she didn’t expect it to turn out the way it did. Visiting the Swallowtail Festival in Sandpoint, she was caught up in a goblin raid, which rapidly turned into investigating the growing power of the Sihedron cult and, eventually, opposing the forces of Karzoug. Underneath Thistletop, Dalya was slain by the barghest Malfeshnekor, but her allies were able to fight the beast back long enough to recover her body. Possibly as a side effect of being slain by one of Lamashtu’s chosen, Dalya was returned to life as a gnoll when brought back through a reincarnate spell. And Dalya couldn’t have been happier with her new body.
Dalya’s adventures continued from there, and she proudly brags that she’s never lost a fist fight with a giant. She was instrumental to killing Karzoug and preventing Varisia from being overrun by an army of lamiae and other monsters. But Dalya is not one to rest on her laurels, and she is in no way retired. Her current mission is to help a few packs of non-evil gnolls to settle in the Storval Plateau without causing too much conflict with the Shoanti quahs living there already. Her allies in this mission include a quartet of advanced crocuttals and Krojun Eats-What-He-Kills, a powerful warrior of the Sun Clan, himself reincarnated into a monstrous form (a bugbear) following a fatality in combat.
Dalya CR 18 XP 153,600 CG Medium humanoid (gnoll, human) Reincarnated gnoll brawler (battle dancer) 18 Init +6; Senses darkvision 60 ft., Perception +18 Defense AC 33, touch 20, flat-footed 26 (+6 Dex, +1 dodge, +1 natural, +6 armor, +6 shield, +3 deflection) hp 200 (18d10+90 plus 7) Fort +20, Ref +21, Will +13; +2 vs. fear, despair Resist fire 30 Defensive Abilities dancing dodge (9/day), hopeful Offense Speed 35 ft. Melee +4 evil outsider bane unarmed strike +34/+29/+24/+19 (2d8+16), +4 evil outsider bane bite +32 (1d6+5) or +4 evil outsider bane unarmed strike +32/+32/+27/+27/+22/+22/+17 (2d8+16), +4 evil outsider bane bite +32 (1d6+5) or +2 returning distance spear +30/+25/+20/+15 (1d8+17/x3), +4 evil outsider bane bite +32 (1d6+5) Ranged +2 distance returning spear +26 (1d8+17/x3) Special Attacks awesome blow, brawler’s flurry, brawler’s strike (magic, cold iron, silver, chaotic, good, adamantine), martial flexibility (12/day, 3 feats as swift action or 1 as immediate), rolling flurry, sparring partners (3/day) Statistics Str 30, Dex 22, Con 21, Int 9, Wis 13, Cha 16 Base Atk +18; CMB +28 (+36 trip, +35 grapple, +30 bull rush, +29 disarm); CMD 48 (56 vs. trip, 55 vs. grapple, 50 vs. bull rush, 49 vs. disarm) Feats Acrobatic Steps (B), Combat Expertise (B), Combat Reflexes, Deflect Arrows, Dodge, Fleet (B), Improved Grapple (B), Improved Trip, Improved Unarmed Strike (B), Iron Will, Mobility, Monkey Moves, Monkey Style, Nimble Moves (B), Power Attack, Snapping Bite, Vicious Stomp (B) Skills Acrobatics +27, Climb +16, Intimidate +17, Linguistics +0, Perception +18, Perform (dance) +11, Ride +12, Sense Motive +12, Swim +16 Languages Common, Gnoll, Shoanti SQ close weapon mastery, dancer’s cunning, legendary, maneuver training (trip +4, grapple +3, bull rush +2, disarm +1), martial training, reincarnated Gear manual of gainful exercise +4 (expended), tome of leadership and influence +2 (expended), amulet of mighty fists +5 (+4 evil outsider bane), belt of physical perfection +4, +4 brawling leather armor, +5 buckler, +2 returning distance spear, winged boots, pliant gloves, cloak of resistance +4, ring of major fire resistance, ring of protection +3, potion of cure serious wounds (x3), potion of haste (x3), 500 gp worth of mundane jewelry, 36 pp. Special Abilities Dancer’s Cunning (Ex) A battle dancer can treat her Charisma score as her Intelligence score for the purpose of meeting the prerequisites of combat feats. In addition, she can attempt a Perform (dance) check instead of a Bluff check to feint in combat, and her unarmed strikes are considered to have the performance weapon special quality. Dancing Dodge (Ex) When an opponent attempts a melee attack against Dalya, she can expend one use of an attack of opportunity as an immediate action to move 5 feet, granting the battle dancer a +3 dodge bonus to AC against the triggering attack. The attack is still resolved normally, even if the battle dancer’s movement takes her out of the triggering attack’s reach. This movement is not a 5-foot step and provokes attacks of opportunity from creatures other than the one that triggered this ability, though the battle dancer can attempt an Acrobatics check to avoid provoking the attacks. Dalya can use this ability nine times per day. She can use this ability only while wearing light armor or no armor, and while carrying no heavier than a light load. Hopeful (Ex) Packmaster gnolls gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against fear effects and emotion effects such as despair, grief or boredom. They do not gain this bonus against rage effects, or other types of emotion effects, such as an unnatural lust or overwhelming presence spell (GM’s discretion). Legendary Dalya’s statistics are built using 25 point buy, and she has the gear of an 18th level PC. This increases her CR by +1. Reincarnated (Ex) Dalya was born human, but transformed into a gnoll due to a reincarnate spell. She has the bonus feat of a human, and bonus skill ranks for levels 1-4. She does not have the racial Hit Dice, or mental ability bonuses, of a gnoll. Rolling Flurry (Ex) When a battle dancer uses her brawler’s flurry, she must move 5 feet before each melee attack or combat maneuver. If she is unable to move 5 feet, she can’t attempt any further attacks or combat maneuvers. She can’t exceed her maximum speed. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity if the brawler would be able to take a 5-foot step normally; if she would be unable to (for instance, if she were in difficult terrain), the movement provokes attacks of opportunity as normal unless she succeeds at the appropriate Acrobatics checks. While using this ability, she can still take her normal 5-foot step before or after making her attacks. Sparring Partners (Ex) When Dalya gains a flanking bonus on an attack while using her rolling flurry ability, the ally providing the flank gains a flanking bonus on its next attack against that opponent, even if the battle dancer moves out of a flanking position. If either the opponent or the ally moves more than 5 feet before the ally’s attack, the flanking bonus is lost. This ability works only if the ally is on the opposite side of an opponent during the battle dancer’s attack, not if a flanking bonus is gained in some other way, such as through Gang Up. Dalya can use this ability three times per day.

fic excerpt >:)
under the cut :3
INT. THE BIG HOUSE – AFTERNOON
WE OPEN in a peculiarly decorated room. The room is well lit with minimal windows, a pool table in the middle of the room. Seated around the pool table are 24 children and teenagers of varying ages, as well as a man seated in a wheelchair and a man whose appearance the camera can't quite capture. From the angle, it is clear someone has set up the camera to secretly record the meeting.
CHIARA
CHIRON, why did you call a meeting at eight on a Thursday.
HOLLY
Yeah, the Eagles are playing the Commanders and I have, like, $50 riding on this!
CHIRON sighs, deeply troubled and exhausted, and DIONYSUS rolls his eyes.
CHIRON
This is exactly-
DIONYSUS
(cutting him off)
Exactly why we called this meeting!
The counselors can be seen turning and muttering to each other for a brief moment before turning back to the two men at the end of the table.
THESEUS
(with genuine confusion)
Because... we're... sports fans?
Outrage can be heard from CHIARA, HOLLY, and LAUREL.
CHIRON & DIONYSUS
No!
CHIRON
(calmer)
No. We decided...
DIONYSUS
(under his breath)
...you decided...
CHIRON
...we have decided that we need to set some rules.

Sick on Belly's Birthday
NEW FIC ALERT (The crowd goes wild)
“What a coincidence, you’re sick today” Belly scoffed as Conrad walked into the kitchen in a black robe with rosy cheeks holding a digital thermometer in his hand.
Conrad looked at her giving a side eye, “I can’t just plan to have” he looked down at the thermometer in his hands, “an 102-degree fever” he barked, squinting at the thermometer in disbelief.
Laurel stood by the kitchen island, preparing breakfast. She stopped stirring the pancake batter in a mixing bowl and looked up at him. She frowned then pointed at him, “No way, mister. Back to bed. I’ll have someone bring up some medicine and fluids” then gestured her pointer finger toward the front of the house where the steps to the bedroom were.
Conrad groaned. “But Laurel, I have to help my mom for dinner. She’s making a lobster dinner and needs me to shuck the corn and ---”
Laurel sighed, slumping her shoulders. “Honey, Steven and Jeremiah are more than capable of helping out. You go rest” she commanded.
Conrad sighed in defeat and nodded, obeying Laurel’s orders. He took some medicine from the cabinet and turned, walking out of the kitchen and back to bed.
Conrad knew being sick on Belly’s birthday sounded suspicious given their fight the night before. When she came in from her date, he was in the kitchen taking a pain reliever for the killer headache he was at war with which unfortunately turned into a fever throughout the night. The headache came on when they left Laurel’s book signing and got worse when they got to the drive-in. He stuck it out until the throbbing became constant.
When Conrad got sick, he was usually quiet, stubborn, and irritable. He tried his best to hide it from everyone so as to not bother them and bring attention to himself. After ending the night with Cam, Belly walked into the kitchen smiling as she thought about how great the night was. Those thoughts quickly dissipated when she saw Conrad standing by the kitchen island drinking a glass of water. The mere sight of him made her furious. Her blood boiled as the embarrassing moment replayed in her head like a movie.
After Laurel’s book signing, the boys decided to go to the drive-in to embarrass Belly on her date with Cam. Her first date. She was mortified when they pulled in next to them.
She and Conrad started to argue when he made a sly remark about it. The two exchanged some cruel insults that either could take back now.
“It all makes sense,” Belly said under her breath. Conrad’s irritability should’ve been her first sign that something was off. However, she still held a little belief that he was trying to avoid her at all costs, even if it was her birthday. Of course, if he was *really* ill, that didn’t excuse his choice of words stabbing her in the heart last night. His irritability was all too familiar. She should’ve put the pieces together.
“Bells, relax. I can vouch for him. He really wasn’t feeling great after we drove home from the drive-in. He almost fainted in my car” Jeremiah said, recounting the events of the night before.
The sheer mention caused Belly to shoot him daggers with her eyes, furrowing her brow. Jeremiah put his hands up in defense and muttered a “sorry”.
“Maybe it’s his guilty conscience then,” Belly said, scoffing at Jeremiah. He shrugged his shoulders, not wanting to debate his brother’s health.
FLASHBACK - The Night Before (Int. Jere’s car)
As they made their way back to the house, Conrad leaned his head on the window, sitting in the backseat. The cold window hitting his face felt nice against his pounding head.
Steven turned to face his friend and noticed he was pale as a ghost. "You okay? You look like you're gonna pass out" the rowdy boy shouted from the passenger seat making Conrad groan. Steven laughed loudly over the music playing from the car’s radio. Jeremiah chuckled at Steven. “Don’t worry, we’ll be home soon” he announced, turning into their neighborhood. Conrad groaned, “Can you turn that down?” he said, pointing to the radio.
“Sure thing” his younger brother said, turning down the dial. Jeremiah never knew when he could take Steven seriously as he was always joking around. So once he stopped at a stop sign, he looked into the rearview mirror and to see exactly what Steven was talking about.
His older brother lay his head against the window holding the temples of his head, his complexion pale. It was hard to see through the darkness, the only light they had to rely on was from the street lights. Conrad’s face illuminated from the street light that shined on the car. Jere looked down at his cup holders and saw a plastic water bottle half empty.
He looked down Jeremiah pouted his lip in suspicion and acted quickly. “Yo, pass this back” he commanded Steven.
The boy complied, turning toward the back of the car and tapped Conrad on his knee. Conrad looked up in confusion and grabbed the water from Steven’s hand. He nodded a thank you and began to chug the last of the water.
Once Jeremiah saw his brother was hydrating, he continued driving.
“Where’s Connie?” Susannah immediately asked as she stepped into the kitchen noticing her oldest son was the only one missing from the pack.
Laurel sighed, standing by the stove as she flipped the last birthday pancake. “I sent him back to bed about twenty minutes ago. He’s running a fever of one hundred and two. Poor guy, he looked awful. It must be the flu” she explained, remembering his rosy cheeks and hoarse voice.
Susannah stood quietly before answering, scanning the room. She knew something was up last night when Conrad went to bed early and was quieter than usual after they all came home from Laurel’s book event. He had been acting differently since April, but this was different.
Susannah put a hand on her hip, “That bad? I need him to help me make dinner” she said in a disappointed tone.
Laurel rolled her eyes, turning off the stove and grabbing the plate of pancakes to serve. “Jere and Steven will help you,” she barked, putting her hand on each of their shoulders.
“Let the boy rest, Beck” she began, remembering his blood shot eyes and rosy cheeks from moments ago. “We’d hate for him to get anyone else sick, right?” Laurel added.
“Yeah! We’ll help, Mom” Jeremiah said, smiling a big toothy grin at her from his seat at the breakfast bar where he finished signing Belly’s card. Susannah returned the smile. “Like I told Belly, he wasn’t feeling great in the car on the way home last night” he mentioned, adding to Conrad’s credibility.
“Yeah! He almost passed out in the backseat!” Steven added. [Everyone groaned]
Susannah pouted her lip and sighed, “I’m sorry. You’re right, I thought he was acting a little strange last night. Let’s hope it’s just a 24-hour bug. We can’t have everyone getting sick around here, especially before The Ball” she said as she turned toward Belly with a smile. “Belly! Happy Sweet 16, love!” and started talking about the festivities in store for the day.
Conrad didn’t expect to wake up to his younger brother barging into his room. After barely sleeping the night before, when he got back to his room that morning, he melted into his bed and dozed off. Despite the feverish chills that felt like they were never ending, he was relieved to finally get some rest. Until he was rudely awakened by the sound of his bedroom door flinging wide open.
Conrad jolted out of bed and awoke with anxiety.
“Sorry!” Jere whispered. Now he was quiet.
“What’s up?” Conrad croaked, looking his younger brother directly in the eyes. Conrad’s complexion was pale and flushed, his cheeks were pink, his blue eyes glassy, and the bags under his eyes were dark.
Jeremiah was in his swimsuit, holding a tray of sick supplies. “Mom and Laurel sent me to check on you. Man, you look rough” he said, examining his brother’s complexion. The younger boy placed the tray of supplies on his brother’s bed — a bottle of Cold & Flu medicine, a reusable water bottle filled to the brim with cold water, a box of tissues, some honey-medicated cough drops, and a cold compress.
Conrad rolled his eyes, lying back down and pulling the covers on top of him, covering his head, “I think I have the flu” he muttered.
“Yeah, you’re pretty sick,” Jeremiah added. He frowned as he saw his brother in distress, shivering under the covers. He took the cold compress and leaned over his brother’s body trying to find his forehead under the comforter. Jeremiah grabbed the comforter and attempted to pull them down.
Of course, Conrad fought him. “Dude, c’mon. I’m trying to help you. You’re running a high fever. This will really help” Jeremiah cried, trying to be as patient as he could.
“Fine,” he mumbled. Conrad slightly pulled the covers out from under his head allowing Jeremiah to place the compress onto his brother’s sweltering hot forehead. The heat radiated off of him like a portable heater.
Jeremiah frowned. He felt bad for his older brother that he was this ill and worse, missing out on the fun outside.
“Thank you” Conrad whispered, his teeth chattering.
“Do you need anything else?” Jeremiah asked, smiling softly as he tried to comfort his brother.
“Sleep,” Conrad said and began to yawn. He pulled the covers over top of himself once again.
Before he left, Jeremiah explained, “Sounds good. Rest up! We’ll be in the pool. Call or text me if you need anything,” he said. “I’m leaving everything here if you need it. Hydrate!” he gestured to everything he left on the nightstand.
“Love you, man. Feel better” were his parting words as he silently closed the door.
##
Finally, Jeremiah met everyone in the backyard at the pool.
Laurel and Susannah sat lounging on chairs wearing their bathing suits, watching the kids laughing and splashing around in the water.
He waved at everyone swimming in the pool as he walked over to his mother and Laurel.
“How is he?” Laurel immediately asked.
Standing in front of them, he shrugged. “Oof. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him that sick” he grimaced, remembering his brother’s feverish condition from minutes ago.
Laurel frowned. “Poor guy. He’ll feel better when the fever breaks,” she said, hoping putting a positive sentiment out into the universe would come true.
Jeremiah ran over to the pool to join Belly, Steven, and Taylor. He ran and held his knees as he hit the water in a cannonball, splashing everyone and making them scream. He and Steven laughed at the girl's misery as a splash fest broke out.
Although they weren’t on good terms, Belly could feel Conrad’s absence. On one hand, she was happy he wasn’t here to dampen the mood on her sixteenth birthday but the other half of her felt sad. Turning sixteen is a special moment, one she envisioned spending with him. She looked up at the house to the window where his bedroom was as if any second he would open the window and see her.
Alas as the sun went down, she realized that fantasy was dead.
###
That night, Susannah and Laurel suggested they all play board games and watch rom-com flicks on Netflix. As Belly defeated Jeremiah in Battleship as Clueless played on the TV, suddenly they heard faint footsteps. Everyone turned to see who it was.
Conrad stood in the kitchen waiting for the toaster to go off.
“Connie,” Laurel said softly, “What’re you doing out of bed?” she asked, getting up from the couch and walking toward the kitchen.
Conrad ran his hand through his hair and looked at Laurel, his eyes glassy. “I took some Tamiflu and it said to eat with it. Plus, I just needed to get out of bed” he said, looking back at the toaster where the waffle he placed was mere seconds away from popping up.
Laurel pouted her lip. She wasn’t thrilled about him getting out of bed since she didn’t want this spreading to the rest of the house. Albeit, it was inevitable as he had been contagious a couple days prior. Laurel pressed her cold palm on his forehead; still warm to the touch. “Have you checked your temp at all? You don’t feel as hot as before, " she mentioned.
Conrad nodded. He hadn’t even thought about checking on his fever, despite realizing the chills had temporarily gone away. He had been in and out of sleep all day, only waking up to blow his nose or drink water.
The waffle was finally ready. Laurel stepped in the way, grabbing a plate from the cabinet. “I’m sorry honey, but I don’t want anyone else to catch this. Please go get back in bed and I’ll bring this up, okay?” she said, feeling bad but knowing her decision had good intentions.
Conrad groaned but he was too achy and tired to put up a fight. So he nodded and did as she said and walked himself back to bed.
Four Days Later
A few days later, Conrad was starting to feel like himself again. His fever had broken that morning and he was in good spirits. But that could just be the medication doing its trick.
He walked into the kitchen where Belly sat eating a caesar salad and scrolling on her phone watching TikTok and giggling to herself. Conrad opened the refrigerator to reheat some leftover chicken noodle soup. He turned and looked at the girl then turned toward the microwave, placing the bowl in, closing the microwave door and setting a 1 minute timer.
Belly avoided eye contact. She was still annoyed with him from their argument after the drive-in ambush. But that didn’t stop her from looking up at him when his back was turned.
Conrad turned away from the microwave and looked at Belly. Her head down looking at her phone. That wasn’t good for her neck, he thought.
“Hey, happy birthday. I was so out of it that day, I realized I never said it” the boy said in a low voice.
Belly looked up at him and gave a thin-lipped smile then looked back at her phone, scrolling to a TikTok of a dog jumping in a pool. She let out a loud laugh, tapping her phone to like the video.
Her mother had told her earlier that Conrad was feeling better, so she shouldn’t be surprised if she finally saw him after days of being cooped up in bed. She hated to admit that she…missed him even if she was still furious at him. She hated seeing him ill.
Conrad looked back at the timer on the microwave. It had about 30 seconds left. He looked around the kitchen, noticing Jeremiah cleaning the pool out the window.
Conrad ran a hand through his hair as the awkward silence lingered. Finally, the microwave dinged and he took the bowl of soup out of the microwave. He opened a drawer to get a spoon and walked over to a seat at the kitchen island away from Belly.
Since his fever broke and he had been taking medicine routinely, he was no longer contagious but he still didn’t want to risk anything. He blew on the soup as steam radiated from it and waited for it to cool down, then took a couple bites.
“That’s it?” Belly finally said, getting angry now. Conrad looked at her, his eyebrow furrowed and puzzled look in his eyes.
“Huh?” he replied, coughing, catching them in his elbow, releasing the phlegm from his chest.
She walked over to him and touched his cool forehead once he stopped coughing and sat up. Conrad raised his eyebrows,
“What are you doing?” he barked.
“Checking to see if you’re delirious! Seriously, not even an apology? Jere apologized! And you can’t?” she shouted, stuffing her phone in the pocket of her sweat shorts.
Conrad shook his head and sniffled. He was feeling better but he was still congested and his throat was sore. He touched his temples as his head ached from the motion.
Even though he started to feel a lot better, Laurel demanded he take it easy in order for his body to fully fight off the virus which meant he had to cancel his sailing lessons with Cleveland for the next week and no surfing. The only surfing he would be doing is channel surfing through various streaming platforms and/or just scrolling on his phone watching IG Reels from his favorite surfers.
“Belly. C’mon. We can talk” he said, getting up from the chair.
Suddenly, he felt hot and his vision got blurry. He looked down and gripped the counter, trying to balance himself. He stood in place looking down at the ground as shadows started to move around his vision. He immediately closed his eyes, trying to stop the sensation.
“Woah” he muttered and sat back down, taking a sip of water from his reusable water bottle.
Belly turned and frowned as she saw the boy struggle.
“Um, are you okay?” she asked, immediately her tone filled with concern.
Belly ran over to him.
Conrad released a train of hacking coughs, catching them in his elbow and took another long sip of water when the coughing fit came to a halt.
“Yeah, I just got a little dizzy,” he said, putting his cold water bottle up to his forehead to dissipate the hotness that overcame him.
Belly ran over to the sink, turned on the cold water and wet a rag.
He groaned. “Ugh, I don’t feel good,” he moaned, mumbling to himself.
“I thought you were feeling better” she mocked, a hand on her hip, smirking at him.
Conrad looked up at her realizing she heard him complaining. “I thought I was” he barked back, “Guess not” he swallowed and winced, the pain panged at his throat.
He groaned as the water barely helped. “I’m feel really hot ” he mentioned just as Belly laid a cold rag on the back of his neck. He sighed in relief.
“This will help. You’re probably dehydrated” she mentioned, speaking the medical language from doctors that come across her TikTok For You Page every so often.
Conrad looked up at her, his eyes still glassy and he drank more water. He set his water down and looked at the soup still steaming. Suddenly, he didn’t have an appetite. It came on all at once, he was fatigued, his body ached, and he felt miserable.
Belly frowned looking at him. The flu took at least a week or two to recover from and he was only on day four. It was inevitable that he would crash and burn.
“I think the medicine’s wearing off” he muttered, yawning.
“Oh, you poor baby. Let’s get you over to the couch” she suggested running a hand through his matted hair. Conrad nodded and followed her, holding his water bottle.
Belly grabbed a blanket as he slowly began to lie down. She laid the blanket over top of him and sat down beside him.
“I thought you were mad,” he said, sniffling.
Belly scoffed. “Conrad, I’m still mad. I’m pissed at you, actually. But I’m not going to make you suffer through the flu. I think that’s punishment enough” she said laughing to herself.
Conrad smiled. “I’m sorry. I deserve it. I was being an asshole. I shouldn’t have said any of those things to you. I didn’t mean them, honest. ” he said in a low voice.
Belly smiled at his sentiments, “Why don’t we talk when you’re feeling better?” she said, patting him on the leg. Conrad yawned and nodded, agreeing to her statement.
“I feel like shit” he said, pulling the blanket up further to his collarbone and coughing into his shoulder.
“I know. The flu really sucks. I’m sorry” she said, frowning again.
“Why don’t you try and get some sleep. It’s quiet” she suggested. The house was empty for the most part. The boys were working at the club while Susannah and Laurel were at the beach. Conrad nodded at her statement and closed his heavy eyes.
Belly smiled. She hated being mad at him but she could give him a break just this once. But once he was feeling better, she wouldn’t let his crabby attitude slide.

sometimes I think about how Eula's chara teaser speaks of aristocratic mond & the gunnhildr design might not be the gunnhildr of old mond
I also think about this guy from the old mond cutscene with non npc hair and armour like what if they were the knight all along and we were wrong
lantern reminded me of the existence of the Imunlaukr clan and I had the brief though of the knight being a Lawrence bc Eula has blue hair lmao But Gunnhildr was the one who dressed venti in laurels after they ascended!! They had to have been close in some capacity for that!!! Her being the knight and a part of the main group int he rebellion would make sense! And the whole "For Mondstadt always" and likely being the reason why nobility in mond have to learn swordplay? Knightly behaviour I'm also attached to the design from the chara teaser so uh sorry random knight guy but I'm chosing to believe that the knight is Gunnhildr and has the chara teaser design until hyv forcefully proves me wrong <3

Laurel shrugged noncommittally, knowing there was a long list of things she could be doing with the time she now found herself with. not that she had a lot of motivation to do it at the moment. ❝relaxing sounds a lot better than anything else I could be doing,❞ she agreed with a small smile. her eyes narrowed just a bit as he continued speaking, her own natural curiosity getting the best of her. ❝like...any of the defense attorneys around here?❞ or just in general, Laurel wasn't particular. ❝is that why you were here? with someone that you don't like, I mean.❞ @fcdcdmcmories
"SEEMS LIKE WE ARE, YEAH," what could he even say to that? that he was not? well, that would have been a lie, because.. these days, the only thing that he was was in a rush. it seemed as if donna was always content to drag him from one place to the other and ugh, he hated it. and her. he really did. "but hey, that's a good thing? means that you get to relax for a little bit, at least?" lord knew that he wished that he got some time for that too. to be able to relax. to be able to take a breath and to forget that this was his life for a second there. right? "oh, yeah. especially when you've come here with someone tat you don't particularly like." @swcctlikejustice

Nu har jag tjuvlyssnat på alla veckans bidrag och tyckt till lite för den som är intresserad
Pål Rey: bra låt. Inte jättespännande
Casanovas: varje mello behöver ett dansband. Som vanligt blir man på toppenhumör
Melanie Wehbe: bra. finns inte så mycket att säga utan framträdandet. tror det är helt avgörande för om någon kommer komma ihåg den eller inte
Nordman!!!! JA!!! Så jävla BRA! Är svintaggad!!! Vill höra hela! Går de inte till final så är det mer fel på svenska folket än jag trott
Laurell: Började väl typ bra men jag hade tröttnat på den redan innan den korta snutten var slut
Ida-Lova: Mysig, men asså... Ni vet när man känner att nu kommer det ett rim, å så gör det inte det-- otroligt störigt!
Marcus och Martinus: På nåt jävla vänster har jag liksom lyckats undvika att höra dem tills nu (och det är verkligen ett under för jag jobbar på förskola) och jag måste säga att jag är positivt överraskad. Frän låt. Går nog till final och är helt okej med det baserat på den lilla snutten

swedish:
Från och med nu ska det inte vara hemligt längre. Det är detta jag måste kämpa för. Jag måste berätta om denna osynliga värld som varit dold alldeles för länge. Sibkiparken i Damaskus är platsen dit homosexuella män från hela landet kommer för att träffas.
Det är här 21-åriga Furat först får höra talas om Hammamer; stadens dolda fristäder för bögar. I dessa offentliga badhus, där lukten av lagerblad och Aleppotvål fyller rummen, möts nakna män i ångan.
I en annan tid vaknar 28-åriga Furat på asylboendet i småländska Åseda, i panik med vidöppna ögon. Han ligger i en pöl av svett i den smala sängen. I drömmen var hans händer bakbundna och ögonen påtvingade en ögonbindel. Han visste vad som väntade. I allrummet hade någon visat ett av klippen som spreds på internet. Han visste vad som hände med bögar syndare som tillfångatagits av Daesh.
Khaled Alesmael är journalist och prisbelönt för sitt arbete med radio och teve i mellanöstern. Selamlik är en roman som bär på egna och andras erfarenheter från de urbana homosexuella rummen i det nu sönderbombade Syrien
english:
In a series of interconnected vignettes this superb novel explores aspects of being gay in Syria, male desire and pleasure, family, the savagery of civil war, the randomness of violence and the emotional upheaval of fleeing and becoming a refugee.
Furat, a Syrian in his early 20s, visits Sibki Park in Damascus, which serves as a gathering place for gay men from all over the city. He learns about the Hammams, secret meeting places for gays located throughout the old city. Inside these public baths, the air is thick with the scent of bay laurel soap, and naked men hide in the steam. Despite society, religion and regime disapproval, Furat finds the love he seeks just before being forced to flee as his world changes.
Khaled Alesmael is a writer and journalist from Syria, where he was co-founder of a major music radio station. Now based in London, his writings on sex, LGBTQ+, and migration--in both English and Arabic--have a dedicated international readership. Throughout his career, he has lived and worked in several capital cities in the Middle East and Europe and received the International Visitor Program to the US for his work as an environmental journalist. His debut novel Selamlik has been widely acclaimed and was shortlisted for the 2021 German SKOUTZ Award.
german:
Furat ist als eines von sechs Geschwistern in einer gutbürgerlichen Familie in Syrien aufgewachsen. Den Tod von Diktator Hafiz al-Assad erlebt er im Jahr 2000 im Studentenwohnheim von Damaskus gemeinsam mit der ersten großen Liebe seines Lebens. Hartnäckig erkundet er die »heimliche Revolution«, das verborgene Leben homosexueller Männer in Damaskus, ihre Parks, Saunen und Pornokinos. Der Terror des Bürgerkriegs trifft die Schwulen gleich doppelt: Islamistische Rebellen machen gezielt Jagd auf »die Leute von Lot«, stürzen sie von Hochhäusern in den Tod. Als das Haus der Familie in die Schusslinie der Kampftruppen gerät, macht sich Furat auf den Weg nach Norden. Auf der Flucht und im schwedischen Asylantenheim begegnen ihm seine arabischen Landsleute weiterhin mit unverhüllter Homophobie. In seinem Zimmer mit Blick auf den Friedhof von Åseda beginnt Furat, die Geschichte seines Lebens aufzuschreiben.
