whether or not she could trust his words is yet to be determined, but only time would tell. for now, she decided to live in the moment. "alright. good." ivy sighed as she scooted closer to him, leaning into his side with a small smile on her lips. "because i like what we've got going. plus i don't wanna have to teach somebody else how to make my morning coffee all over again." she joked, in an attempt to lighten the mood. "i may have overreacted some, i'm sorry." she didn't like to admit when jealousy hit but she was big enough to admit when she was wrong and own up to it.

hudson had never really been the think through things type and clearly here it was starting to bite him in the ass. he held his hands up in surrender because this clearly was not an argument he would win and the last thing he wanted to do here was argue. this was supposed to be a fun time for him and he didn't want to spend his time here involved in drama. "okay, yeah yeah. if something changes i'll let you know first, don't worry." he promised her with a sigh. "but nothing is going to change so don't worry about it."

OC Fact Swap:

Vin's favourite things about Mac:

Physicality - his broad shoulders, wiry athletic frame, that square jawline and oh! Those blue eyes. Vin also loves running his fingers through Mac's fluffy hair and wonders how it sticks up naturally when his own tends to flop. He also loves Mac's large, quick hands. He may not be a maker like Vin but those hands have their own skills...

Personality - his heart of gold. Mac might try to cover it up but when he cares, he really cares. Vin loves how Mac is with Duncan, a wonderful, attentive Dad. He also loves it when MacCready drops his early-acquired responsibility and goofs around like a kid. He doesn't mind the odd immature outburst from him, either because he suspects that he's just making up for lost time.

Miscellaneous - his laugh. Vin tries to make Mac laugh often at home, just to hear that laugh. His singing voice - Mac's a real crooner, you know! The Commonwealth's answer to Bob Crosby (or was that Bing?). Most of all, the way that Mac is so tender with Vin. 'Gentleness is real strength,' he says.

Ooh we’re on a Mac hit list are we, and there’s a heck of a lot to love about our boy! Gosh it’s such a long list, but here’s a few off the top of my head. Ok here we go

Some of Ivy’s favourite things about Mac:

Physicality— She adores those big blue eyes that can never hide a thing he’s feeling, and that smirk that’s been teasing her since day one. She both loves and hates every scar, they all tell stories of hurt and survival (and the occasional silly accident) and she’s learned them all by heart. She has a weakness for those arms that have a habit of gathering her up when she least expects it — whether it’s to drag her out of danger or just to make her laugh. (Oh and Vin isn’t wrong about the hands...)

Personality — Ivy loves Mac’s daft sense of humour, every ridiculous pun or dad joke that should not be so funny but cracks her up. Not to mention the constant banter and the teasing they share, they’re on each other’s wavelength. She loves his youthful enthusiasm for the things he enjoys! She’s utterly blown away by how when he cares he really is all-in — she’s used to being the only one who loves that hard — and how dedicated he is to his loved ones, and the fact that Mac is really exclusive about who he gives a damn about gives her an extra thrill of feeling special that she’s numbered amongst them. Once she realises how marked it is, she loves how soft he is with her compared to with other people — she had to have it pointed out by other people before she really realised. You mean he’s not like this with everyone? Oh...oh...

Miscellaneous — MacCready never undermines her, she has the freedom and support to feel safe making her own decision. And he’s never made her feel frightened — the opposite in fact, she’s never felt safer than when she’s with him. She loves the trust they share, it’s rare for her to fully trust anymore and it takes time to earn it. She loves the way he smiles at her when he thinks she’s not looking. And Vin’s right, he has a great laugh. He also has adorable kitten snores. Oh and he’s always warm when Ivy’s always cold, she’s loves having a personal heater. She can make him blush by calling him Bobby.

Thomas Cole The Course of Empire: Desolation (1836) Oil on canvas, 100.3 x 161.2 cm New-York Historical Society, New York City

Highlights from around the web 💫

✨Thomas Cole was an English-American painter known for his landscape and history paintings. He is regarded as the founder of the Hudson River School, an American art movement that flourished in the mid-19th century. Cole's work is known for its romantic portrayal of the American wilderness [1]

✨ The Course of Empire is a series of five paintings created by Cole in the years 1833–1836. The series depicts the growth and fall of an imaginary city, and comprises the following works: The Course of Empire – The Savage State; The Arcadian or Pastoral State; The Consummation of Empire; Destruction; and Desolation. It is notable in part for reflecting popular American sentiments of the times, when many saw pastoralism as the ideal phase of human civilization, fearing that empire would lead to gluttony and inevitable decay. [2]

✨ Description of the work by Cole: The fifth picture is the scene of Desolation. The sun has just set, the moon ascends the twilight sky over the ocean, near the place where the sun rose in the first picture. Day-light fades away, and the shades of evening steal over the shattered and ivy-grown ruins of that once proud city. A lonely column stands near the fore ground, on whose capitol, which is illumined by the last rays of the departed sun, a heron has built her nest. The doric temple and the triumphal bridge, may still be recognised among the ruins. But, though man and his works have perished, the steep promontory, with its insulated rock, still rears against the sky unmoved, unchanged. Violence and time have crumbled the works of man, and art is again resolving into elemental nature. The gorgeous pageant has passed — the roar of battle has ceased — the multitude has sunk in the dust — the empire is extinct. [3]

“Yeah, Stiles, okay. I’ll go by Argent’s apartment tomorrow and I'll go pick them up, okay?” you ended the call from Stiles, before going to dry your hair.

“What did Stiles need?” Derek asked.

He wrapped his arms around your waist and rested his head on your shoulder.

“Oh, the chains they were using to hold back Malia and Liam broke so they need some new chains and stuff,” you explained.

“Oh? Well, maybe you can get a pair of cuffs for us?” he smirked slightly as you rolled your eyes.

“You broke the last pair,” you reminded.

“Technically, you did,” he retorted, pressing his lips against your neck as you scoffed.

You turned to face him, putting your arms around his neck, before you heard a loud knocking on the front door.

Derek frowned, checking the time.

“It’s 2 in the morning,” he replied.

You tensed up, walking towards the door cautiously before opening it, seeing Lydia and Kira standing in front of you.

“What the hell are you doing here at this time?” you asked, pulling them in before you closed the door.

“Look at this list,” Lydia opened up her laptop, showing a white screen with numbers and symbols over it.

She continued to scroll, showing you a list with names and numbers.

Sean Walcott 250

David Walcott 250

Michael Walcott 250

Christina Walcott 250

Lydia Martin 20

Scott Mccall 25

Demarco Montana 250

Derek Hale 15

(Y/N) (Y/L/N) 15

Carrie Hudson 500

Kayleen Bettcher 250

Kira Yukimura 6

Elias Town 250

You frowned slightly, turning to Lydia.

“I-It’s a deadpool. These are the targets. I sort of used my powers to find the deadpool and it asked for a code. The password was Alison and it opened up a third of the deadpool,” she explained.

Your face dropped slightly as Derek put his hand on your shoulder.

“W…” you were speechless, trying to process your words.

“You’re trying to crack the rest?” Derek asked.

Lydia nodded.

“Keep us updated on what’s happening,” Derek said.

You could feel your heart beating in the back of your head as you continued to stand there, frozen. You felt a knot in your stomach as you tried to take a breath. You could see a look of concern on Kira’s face as she looked at you.

“(Y/N)? Are you okay?” Kira asked.

You bit your lip, nodding your head softly.

“I need to work on finding the other names on the deadpool,” Lydia explained.

“Mhm,” you replied.

You could see the concern on both of their faces as Derek spoke, before leading them out of the loft.

“(Y/N),” he put his hands on your shoulders, looking down at you.

“I need you to just take a breath-” Derek started.

“I’m fine,” you lied, shaking your head.

“(Y/N)...” he started.

You closed your eyes softly, before wrapping your arms around Derek.

“We'll get through this,” Derek muttered.

Your heart continued to ache, mostly out of fear. Before it was only the Argent’s circle who was aware of you being a witch and aware of your powers, and now you didn't know who else would know, or what else would happen.

Your eyes watered at the thought of them trying to hurt Derek out of anger. 

“I don’t care where you have to go, whether it’s just a small grocery run o-or whatever, you can not be alone,” you clenched your jaw.

“Same goes for you, (Y/N/N),” he pressed his lips against your forehead, while you closed your eyes, leaning on his chest.

---

“Scott and Stiles explained everything to Stilinski,” the two of you sat in the car, on your way to Argent’s old apartment.

“Yeah,” you nodded, bouncing your leg as you looked out the window.

“I can feel you holding back,” he sighed.

“We just had a lot to deal with Kate and you losing your powers like this… this is a whole thing,” you shook your head.

He put his hand on your leg, caressing it gently.

“And we’ll get through it, just like we always do,” he reminded.

You sighed softly, nodding your head before the two of you pulled into the parking lot of the apartment, making your way up.

You noticed the lights on in the apartment while you looked under the door, tensing up.

“Something's inside,” you whispered to Derek.

He stayed quiet, frowning before pressing his ear against the door.

“I only hear one heartbeat,” he replied.

“Stay behind me,” you walked into the apartment cautiously, unlocking the door as you tip-toed to Chris’ office.

“(Y/N),” your mouth dropped open as you stared in shock, seeing Chris in front of you.

“Y-You’re back,” you stuttered.

“I told you I wasn’t going to run away from you,” he shrugged.

You ran to him, wrapping your arms around him tightly as he hugged you back.

“I’m so happy you’re okay,” you said softly.

There was a soft smile on his face as he stroked your head softly, wiping away the tears you didn't know you have.

“How was France?” you asked.

“Well, I wasn't in France for that long…”

---

“This school really has no security, like at all. Even after everything that happened,” you walked into Beacon Hills High with Derek following behind you.

“I don’t think they care that much about security. But hey, it makes it easier for us,” he pointed out.

“Yeah, here’s the-” you paused in front of the boy’s locker room.

“Yeah, I know,” the two of you waited outside for a second to make sure it was empty.

You walked into the locker room, following Derek.

“Lots and lots of memories,” he sighed, smiling softly as he picked up Liam’s lacrosse stick.

“Yeah? Like what? Losing control in the showers?” you said in a mocking voice.

“Well, that's one thing. But, do you remember in your last week of school, we snuck into here when it was empty, and we-” you interrupted him, making a noise.

“Of course I remember that. That was… it was amazing,” you smiled at the memory, before following him farther into the locker room, hiding behind a wall.

He stroked your hand softly before you heard the door get pushed open, Scott running past you while you threw him Liam’s stick, picking up another one.

“Here,” you handed Derek the stick.

“Are you sure you have enough strength to snap it?” you asked Derek.

He nodded.

You watched as Liam stormed to his locker, looking for his stick before yelling out, frustrated.

“Where’s my stick?!” he yelled.

He walked around the locker room, while Derek walked out from behind the wall, holding the stick.

“This yours?” Derek said to Liam.

You listened as he snapped the lacrosse stick, hearing Liam gasp.

His eyes glew yellow as he let out a low growl, digging his nails into his claws.

He charged at Derek, before Derek quickly grabbed his neck, pushing him against the wall.

You saw Liam yelling out, struggling against Derek’s hold before Scott came out, yelling Liam’s name.

“You’re right. He is angry,” Derek replied.

You walked in front of the two of them.

“This one’s yours,” Scott handed him his lacrosse stick as Derek let go of him.

“Go to class, Liam,” Scott said.

Liam looked at Scott, before nodding, grabbing his bag, and walking out of the room.

You smiled softly, crossing your arms as you looked at Scott.

“What the hell are you two smiling about?” Scott said, slightly frustrated.

“You’re gonna be so good at this,” you replied softly.

“A-Are you joking? I have no idea what I’m doing. I really need help,” Scott started.

“Well, I’ll tell you one thing. His anger? It’s going to make him stronger,” Derek replied.

“And dangerous,” Scott added.

“You’ve handled dangerous before,” you replied.

Scott sighed, sitting on the bench as he put his hands on his head.

“I was supposed to focus on school this semester,” he started.

You sat down next to him, putting your hand around his shoulder while Derek sat on the other side of him.

“Now Kate’s back, I-I have a beta, and this deadpool,” you could feel him getting more and more nervous as you held his hand.

“Well, we know the deadpool has all of our names on it, so that needs to be our top priority. Lydia’s working on it, right?” Derek asked.

Scott nodded his head softly, still looking down.

“All these problems are temporary. We will figure this all out. You’ll still get time to focus on school. You’re very smart when you want to be, Scotty. Besides, community college isn't that bad,” you smirked softly as he scoffed.

“You’re forgetting you got into an Ivy League and Stanford,” Scott sighed.

You saw Derek frown slightly, before you put your focus back on Scott.

“It doesn't matter if you go to some big shot school. You’re gonna do amazing wherever you go, with whatever you do. You’re gonna be a great vet,” he smiled softly before hearing the bell ring.

“I’ll see you guys,” he waved as he ran out of the locker room quickly.

“Hey, why didn't you tell me you got into Stanford? Or an Ivy League?” Derek asked, pulling on your arm gently.

“I-I don’t know, I guess I thought it wasn't as important because I wasn’t going to leave Beacon Hills,” you explained.

“Why weren’t you going to leave Beacon Hills?” Derek asked.

“I didn't want to leave Beacon Hills.”

“Why not? (Y/N), all this pain and suffering, losing so many people that you care about… why would you want to stay here?”

“I didn't want to leave you,” you saw his face drop slightly.

“I don't ever want to be someone who’s holding you back,” he stroked your cheek softly as you bit your lip.

“You don’t hold me back, Derek. I chose to stay here and I don’t regret my choice,” you shook your head.

You held his hand, stroking it softly as he pressed a kiss to your cheek.

“I love you,” he said softly.

“I love you too.” 

---

You watched as Derek got into his car, driving off as you made your way to the art room, trying to find Lydia.

“Anything yet?” you asked her as you walked in.

“Nothing,” she clenched her jaw, shaking her head.

“Well, don’t stress it. Just breathe,” you tried to encourage her as she rolled her eyes.

“Malia. I don’t need you breathing on my neck!” Lydia yelled out, frustrated.

“Well, you see, I kind of don’t want to die, so I need you to crack this list,” Malia replied.

You hid the smirk on your face before you pulled Malia away, sitting down next to her on the table.

“How do you like school?” you asked.

“It’s pointless,” she muttered.

“How much of this stuff am I actually going to use in life?” she asked.

“The only class I can fully say I use in life is Forensics, maybe some Biology and Chemistry, but nothing much,” you shook your head.

“Then what’s the point of math?” she rolled her eyes.

“Old people like watching us suffer,” you shrugged.

She shrugged, before picking up the book next to her, beginning to read through it.

You saw Stiles and Scott running through the hallway, holding Liam up as you frowned.

“Yeah, I’ll see you in a bit…” you got up, running after them.

---

“Lydia needs Meredith, but apparently she showed up at the station, so Lydia and Malia are on their way there,” you looked at the messages on your phone before putting it aside, waiting in front of the school with Derek.

“And Meredith is another banshee?” Derek asked.

“Yeah, she had a thing for Isaac,” you smiled at the memory.

Derek chuckled softly, before leaning against his car.

“What’s taking Chris so long?” you muttered to yourself, looking at your phone to check the time.

“I’m here,” he walked in front of the two of you as you stood up.

“Well, let’s go then, shall we?”

---

You stood outside the vault, waiting for Derek and Chris to finish while you wrapped your arms around yourself, feeling a slight breeze. The school was still full, there was a lacrosse scrimmage, and no one would be stupid enough to attack at the moment.

You noticed something moving from the corner of your eye as you turned your head, looking towards the trees.

You squinted your eyes, looking back to the steps of the vault.

You’re being paranoid

You shook your head before hearing another noise, hearing a twig snap.

You shot your head up once again, making your way to the woods as you clenched your fist.

You looked back to the vault entrance before sighing.

“Augendae tenebris,” your eyes were purple as you made your way through the woods, looking around.

There was no there, and no sign of anyone there.

“Dumbass,” you muttered to yourself.

You felt something hit the back of your head as you groaned, falling to the ground.

You winced, putting one hand on the back of your head as you tried to make out everything in front of you.

Your vision was blurry as more and more panic filled your chest.

“Clypeus,” you felt a blunt force hit your stomach, pushing your back as you groaned softly, trying to push yourself up.

“You little hypocrite,” you heard an unfamiliar gruff voice from in front of you.

You blinked hard, trying to make out who was talking to you as you saw a man standing over you.

“You little bitch!” he yelled.

He blew some dust, which you realized to be Hawthorne as you coughed, trying to gasp for air and regain your balance.

“Your little mommy isn't here to protect you anymore. You’re dead you little bitch,” you could feel a sharp blade sticking on your throat as you tried to keep your movement still, feeling some tears rush to your eyes.

“I-I don’t know who you are-” you started.

“Well then, let me remind you,” you pulled you up harshly, while your back hit the tree trunk behind you.

“You and your mommy killed my wife! All because she was supernatural! She never hurt anyone!” he yelled at you.

“I don’t know who you’re talking about!” you yelled back.

“I’ve wanted my revenge for years. Then I see your name on this deadpool. God really does exist, doesn't he,” you could hear his small chuckle as a tear fell down your cheek.

“Dis,” you pushed him to the ground, holding him down as yelled out.

“Somnum,” his eyes fluttered shut as you took a step back, your breathing shaky as you bit your lip, holding back your cries.

More and more tears rushed to your eyes as you tried to control your breathing, taking bigger breaths.

“(Y/N)!” you heard Derek yell, as he ran to you, putting his hands on your shoulders.

“W-What happened? I-Is he dead?” Derek’s eyes went wide as you shook your head.

“N-No… he’s just asleep,” your voice broke as he pulled you into his arms tightly. You closed your eyes, holding in your cries as you leaned your head against his chest.

“I-It’s… it’s not just assassins it's hunters too,” you said softly.

He pressed his lips against your forehead, holding you tightly before whispering.

“Come on, let’s get out of here.”

You nodded your head softly, walking with him to the car before driving off.

[darkwingsnark]

Out of curiosity Snark, do you think you could make a small list of your favourite characters? Not like a top ten list or anything like that, just a list in no particular order containing your favourite characters, I'm curious if there's a pattern

Ha! I could certainly give it a try. Admittedly a lot of favorites depend on what i can recall at the time, since when I hop from one fandom to another I never stop liking them. Just my focus changes, you know?

But let me see if I can break them down some...

Hanna-Barbera:

Top Cat

Officer Dibble

Jabberjaw

Mudsy (Funky Phantom)

Daphne Blake

Snagglepuss

Brak [Space Ghost Coast to Coast]

Zorak [same]

X the Eliminator [Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law]

Peter Potamus [Same]

Hong Kong Phooey

Secret Squirrel

Stopping here, because otherwise I’d be listing characters all day for the different franchises within that subset. I feel like i could go on listing like the typical hanna barbera mascots, but everybody loves Yogi Bear.

Warner Bros Franchise:

Daffy Duck

Wile E Coyote

Foghorn Leghorn

Wakko

Pinky and the Brain

Porky Pig

Marvin the Martian

Peter Puma

Freakazoid

the Lobe

I like Bugs and others, but I’m thinking about the characters I legit get excited to see on screen. Also know that it includes variants, as Daffy Duck-- for example-- has had many different interpretations. But i still love all Daffys.

Disney Afternoon:

Scrooge McDuck

Ludwig von Drake

Donald Duck

Goofy

Pete

Fenton Crackshell

Darkwing Duck

All of the Fearsome Four

Tuskerninni

Gruffi Gummi

Gusto Gummi

Tubbi Gummi

Demona

Hudson

Lucky Piquel

Bonkers

Monty Jack

Gadget

Stopping here because it dawns on me I will also just list favorites for a billion years.

Disney [general]:

Grunkle Stan

Mabel

Hop Pop Plantar 

Ida

King

Basil

Ratigan

Hades

Oogie Boogie

Jack Skellington

Sally

Rabbit

Tigger

Shego

Dr. Drakken

Perry the Platypus

Doofenshmirtz

Again, stopping myself. because this is a huge company.

Cartoon Network:

Double Dee

Mojo Jojo

Garnet

Sardonyx

Lord Boxman

Kelsey [Craig of the Creek]

Grim

Marceline the Vampire Queen

Jack Spicer

Johnny Bravo

The Scotsman

Samurai Jack

Robot Jones

Larry 3000

Tudrussel

I. Am. Weasel

Mr. Slinkman

Scout Master Lumpus

OKAY STOPPING THERE. I... I am older and like so many different generations of cartoons, man. I am just sitting here listing stuff I grew up with.

Nick:

Cat [Catdog]

Heffer Wolf [Rocko’s Modern Life]

Ren and Stimpy [must not be separated]

Plankton

Squidward

Mr. Krabbs

Kowalski

Skipper

Rico [All from the nickleodeon POM show]

It dawns on me despite watching a ton of nick shows as a kid, I don’t feel as equally compelled to go ‘NO THEY MUST BE ON THE LIST’ as I did with a lot of other properties.

DC Comics:

Scarecrow

Mad Hatter

Poison Ivy

Harley Quinn

Penguin

Aquaman

Plasticman

The Question

Raven

Starfire

Cyborg

Lastly, RANDOM:

Rocky and Bullwinkle

Goosewing

Count Duckula

One Punch Man

All Might

Eraserhead

Present Mic

Froppy

Joey Wheeler

Sam and Max

I have to stop. I am running my thoughts dry. Like I know I could keep going. I could just list all night. But this should at least show the variety of character types that I enjoy.

You’ll note the theme tends to be grumps, obnoxious sunny people, fabulous characters, unhinged individuals, and... honestly people who tell a lot of puns. Wordplay is my weakness.

EDIT: Also goths. I liked a lot of gothic characters growing up, and still do. But I think, like with older men characters, that ends up being a subset of liking the grumpy personality type.

Chapter 24 - Chapter 26

Chapter 25-  Sunflower 

“I understand that this is a good idea for the long term,” Amelia said. “I really do, but I think we should have started with something simpler.”

She, Sherlock, and John were in her bedroom, with John carefully wrapping the potentially broken ankle she had managed during that day’s “training”.

“You need to be careful with this ankle,” John scolded. “You’re too old to keep injuring the same spots over and over.”

“That was months ago,” Amelia protested, but paled when John pressed a finger into a particularly tender spot. “I’m not old. I’m young compared to the two of you grumpy old men.”

“I don’t understand what was so difficult about the instructions,” Sherlock complained, lounging in Amelia’s chair by her fireplace. “I warned you to jump.”

“And then you pushed me over!” she insisted. “That’s not a jump, that’s a dodge or move out of the way.”

“I was trying to surprise you,” he explained. “A real threat isn’t going to announce what you need to do.”

“It’s been a month, I can barely throw a punch,” she replied.

“The bruise on his shoulder suggests otherwise,” John supplied quietly, tying off the wrap. “You should be all set. I’ll see if we can get you in for X-rays in the morning.”

“It didn’t take me this long to learn self-defense,” Sherlock continued, tossing a bundle of hair scrunchies in the air above him.

“I’m incredibly out of shape, and have noodles for limps,” Amelia added. “I’m not even attempting to attack this at the level you would have. I’d die.”

“I think you’re doing great,” John assured her. “You’re getting faster and your reflexes are getting better.”

“John’s my new head coach,” she high fived the doctor.

“John’s in charge of firearms,” Sherlock turned to face them. “We’ve been over this.”

“There was that nice Judo guy who wanted to show me something,” Amelia reminded him. “You just get mad when anyone else touches me.”

“That’s not true, I’m fine when you hug John,” he stated.

“Hug,” Amelia repeated with a laugh toward John. “He’s fine when we hug.”

“You’re too casually affectionate in general, but as long as it’s directed toward our friends, that’s tolerable,” he clarified.

“I’ll keep that in mind for my afternoon shag with Judo guy,” she retorted.

He looked to John for support, but the doctor did what he did best when the pair disagreed- held his hands up and backed out of the room.

“Not my fight,” he replied. “I’m going to shower.”

“I’m not casually affectionate,” she paused. “Just to you guys. And Mrs. Hudson. And Molly of course.”

“You touch everyone and everything at all times,” he raised a brow. “You’re very open with your feelings.”

“Oh,” she replied, voice dropping. “That’s not ideal, is it?”

If she was going to play detective with him and John, it probably was not in anyone’s best interest to show what she was truly thinking at a crime scene.

“Do you need to conceal your true thoughts on anything?” he asked.

She considered the question. If she was being frank, the answer was no. Most of her time was spent around those she cared for and loved. If she was happy, she was happy. If not, she certainly was not the type to try and hide it for very long.

“Am I a bad liar?” she asked.

“You have a tell,” he replied, leaning forward with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

“What is it?”

“You laugh,” he answered. “When you’re nervous, when you’re being sarcastic, and when you’re lying. Anytime you’re being disingenuous, you laugh.”

“That’s not too bad,” she considered, biting down a chuckle that threatened to rise. He just raised a brow and she sighed in defeat. “I’ll work on it.”

“Just like you’d work on beating me in Cluedo?” he challenged, standing up from the chair.

“Rematch, tonight,” she stood to meet his eye line, poking him defiantly in the chest. “We’ll have John play too, even the playing field a bit.”

“You’re going to lose.”

“You’re-,” she stopped, thinking about her reaction, pulling back the scowl that emerged. “Nope. I’m going to win.”

“I know you’ve been looking up strategies online, and they aren’t going to help you,” he looked down. “Because I’m the best there is, and you especially can’t fool me.”

“Maybe,” she hummed back. “But I can distract you.”

She moved to kiss him by stepping on her tiptoes, but having forgotten her ankle, ended up crashing forward when it collapsed under the shift in weight.

In a mass of momentum, they crashed to the ground, Sherlock buffing the fall with an arm, and dropping his head back when she landed on top of him.

“That could have been so much cuter if we’d landed on the bed,” she noted, peeking down at him. “Are you okay?”

“How did you make it to adulthood in one piece?” he asked. “There was no way you should have made it past infancy with how clumsy you are.”

“Recently I’ve had handsome gentlemen catching me, it’s been pretty nice,” she smirked. “I mean, look at this view.”

They were face to face, Amelia grinning over him, while Sherlock’s eyes traced every inch of her face.

He pulled her toward him, devouring her in a passionate kiss. Hands threaded through her hair; her arms wrapped around his shoulders.

Amelia shifted for a better angle when her foot kicked a pile of canvas tucked next to her bed.

The artwork tumbled free, and she peeked up to see what had caused the commotion.

“Oh,” she turned and grabbed one of the pieces, a small painting of one of Mrs. Hudson’s teacups. “I forgot about that one.”

Ignoring Sherlock’s drawn-out sigh, she busied herself with replacing the knocked over pictures, pausing when she came to the last one.

“I never showed you the painting I meant to send to Brooklyn,” she realized, staring forward at the painting in question.

He sat up, realizing the moment was lost and tilted his head in her direction.

“You never sent it?”

“Never had the chance,” she replied, turning, and holding the large piece up.

The silhouette was familiar, a lithe man standing in a room covered top to bottom in books. He held a violin, his back to the viewer. In the foreground was a pile of sheet music with a single bookmark stuffed between piles of pages. On the bookmark was a delicately drawn sunflower.

It was painted with darker shades than most of Amelia’s other works, less floral and more warmth. Sherlock could picture the living room of Baker Street perfectly. The sound of fire crackling, the smell of leather bookbinding.

This was what she saw. It was comfortable, a little mysterious, but familiar. An old friend.

An adored lover.

“Does my hair really look like that from behind?” he asked, earning a snort from his companion. “I like it. The bookmark is a sentimental touch. What did you call it?”

“Faith,” she replied. “It’s one of the many meanings behind a sunflower. I thought it was appropriate.”

“How so?”

She looked at him, genuinely bewildered by the question.

How did he not know?

“You inspire people,” she answered, looking back at the details in the portrait. “You give people hope in a way. People believe in you.”

It was difficult to explain out loud- hence the portrait (she was an artist after all)- but Sherlock didn’t seem convinced at her explanation.

“Do you believe in me?” he asked simply.

“I painted you a portrait,” she laughed lightly. “I still live here after everything, and we spent the last five minutes making out on my floor. I’ll always believe in you.”

He seemed content with that answer, his hands snaking around her waist and encouraging her to replace the picture and pick up where they’d left off.

~~~

“This was a bad idea,” John voiced for the third or fourth time since the game started.

Amelia was wrapped up in Sherlock’s robe, fingers drumming on her chin while she studied the Cluedo board. She lifted her notecard, lowered it, and continued gazing at the board.

“She’s under this delusion that she can beat me,” Sherlock scoffed, twirling a pen between his fingers, leg jittering under the table.

“I will, this is it,” she announced, moving her piece. “Colonel Mustard, with the wrench, in the observatory.”

She motioned for John to open the packet; brows knitted in focus.

Even Sherlock leaned forward, watching their friend with interest.

“That’s right,” John held up the three cards. “You got it.”

Amelia threw down her cards and grinned, jumping up victoriously.

“I actually did it!” she looked to Sherlock, hands squeezed at her sides in excitement. “I beat you at Cluedo.”

“Impossible,” he grabbed her cards and notes, reading through everything. “How did you know I had the garden?”

“You showed John,” she replied excitedly. “I saw him scribble it down.”

“That’s cheating!” Sherlock snapped back.

“That’s deduction, my dear Mr. Holmes,” she smirked. “I thought all was fair in a game of Cluedo? Those were your rules.”

“I didn’t expect them to turn on me,” he huffed.

“I’m texting Lestrade,” John announced, phone pulled out. “He’s not going to believe this.”

“Don’t you-,” he whirled around at Amelia who was rapidly typing something into her own phone. “Who are you texting?”

“Mycroft,” she answered quickly. “He owes me twenty pounds.”

“You bet against this game?” he scowled, glaring back down at the board. “You must have cheated. John? Did you tell her anything?”

“You would have noticed if we’d been conspiring against you,” the doctor replied. “You lost. Accept defeat.”

“Unacceptable,” Sherlock paced out of the room toward the kitchen, returning with his finger pointed toward Amelia accusatorially. “You distracted me.”

“What?” she blinked up at him innocently.

“In your room, you threw yourself at me and threw my focus off,” he replied tersely. “You knew you could get the upper hand.”

“That sounds like a personal problem to me,” she smirked. “Besides, I’ve never distracted you before.”

“Are you naked under that bathrobe?” he demanded, stepping toward her.

“Jesus Sherlock,” John stood up. “She’s wearing pajamas, you can see them.”

“What did you do?” Sherlock pulled open the robe to reveal an old band shirt and a pair of plaid pajama pants. “You tricked me.”

“I outsmarted you,” she laughed. “Without being totally naked. I’m the superior detective. Dr. Watson, mark the date that I ascended to alpha detective within Baker Street.”

Sherlock’s face fell into a mix of horror, confusion, awe, and shock.

Without another word, he grabbed Amelia by the waist and threw her over his shoulder, trussing back to his room.

“John, find something to do that isn’t here,” he called over his shoulder before slamming his door shut.

Sherlock’s scramble to get Amelia undressed was met with her own quick hands tugging his belt free.

Frenzied hands up and down, pulling at buttons, running through one another’s hair, with hungry kisses, with Sherlock hiding her backward toward the bed.

“Are you sure?” he asked when she was down to a bra and underwear. She was ethereal. Her chest was flushed, her cheeks a mix of blush and freckles, curly hair astray-

“I’ve been waiting much longer than you have,” she purred, pulling him forward and meeting him with her lips.

John was partially out the door when he heard the ruckus upstairs. Mrs. Hudson peeked her head out of her flat, looking up and exchanging a knowing look with the doctor.

“About time,” she sighed, a bit of relief. She cringed when something crashed above them. “I hope that wasn’t the china.”

“I’d put those headphones Sherlock got you for Christmas on,” he advised dryly. “I think we’re in for a long night.”

Life & Style, November 16

You can buy a copy of this issue for your very own at my eBay store: https://www.ebay.com/str/bradentonbooks

Cover: Reese Witherspoon’s divorce bombshell 

Page 1: Photo Flash -- Adele showed off her acting chops and her slim new body as the host of Saturday Night Live 

Page 2: Contents

Page 4: Twinning -- La La Anthony vs. Laura Dern, Kelly Clarkson vs. Gayle King 

Page 6: Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom recently purchased a $14 million mansion in Montecito not far from where Meghan Markle lives with Prince Harry but Meghan has no interest in getting to know Katy whatsoever -- the trouble began in 2018 when Katy gave an interview to Entertainment Tonight criticizing Meghan’s wedding dress and saying she liked Duchess Kate Middleton’s wedding dress better -- it also emerged that Katy was the one who convinced Orlando to play Harry in a satirical animated series about the British royal family -- Montecito is a small town and Katy and Meghan have lots of mutual friends so there’s bound to be a few awkward run-ins 

Page 8: Rebel Wilson has made a career out of playing characters like Pitch Perfect’s Fat Amy but after losing an impressive 40 pounds she’s ready to reinvent herself completely and she is set to star in The Almond and the Seahorse a heart-wrenching British drama with a prestigious cast and crew attached and her first non-comedic role -- she wants to be taken seriously as an actress and make her dream of winning an Oscar come true and she credits boyfriend Jacob Busch with encouraging her to reach for the stars, Kate Beckinsale is looking to find love again after splitting from Goody Grace, Tori Spelling is in talks to appear on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as a friend of the Housewives after the Beverly Hills 90210 reboot was canceled and she’s hoping that a few appearances on the show will turn her into a fan favorite ultimately securing her a spot as a full-time Housewife

Page 10: The Week in Photos -- Beyonce sported several pieces from the upcoming Adidas X Ivy Park Drip 2 line 

Page 12: Kim Kardashian at her 40th birthday vacation, Chris Hemsworth gave underwater meditation a try, Robert Downey Jr. posted for a pic with Fuzzy the Alpaca to promote his new Discovery series The Bond which explores the special relationship between humans and animals 

Page 13: Nicole Kidman wished Keith Urban a happy 53rd birthday with a snapshot of herself and her husband floating around in a zero-gravity chamber 

Page 16: Say What?! Tracee Ellis Ross on being single, Emma Roberts on visiting her famous aunt Julia Roberts at work, Oliver Hudson on looking like a villain after his first time trying injectables, Khloe Kardashian on always seeking beauty advice from her sisters, Cameron Diaz on loving to cook 

Page 22: Khloe Kardashian is worried that history will repeat itself when Tristan Thompson becomes an unrestricted free agent in the upcoming offseason because the Cleveland Cavaliers center is being inundated with offers from teams like the Boston Celtics which would take him far away from the home he shares with Khloe and their two-year-old daughter True in Calabasas and Khloe’s terrified that Tristan will stray if he moves away just like he’s done before -- Tristan is in a sticky situation because Khloe’s begging him to sign with a California-based team but his decision depends on who puts the best offer on the table

Page 23: Anna Wintour has a reputation for being tough on assistants and celebrities and even her longtime partner Shelby Bryan and after more than 20 years together the two have parted ways because being with Anna was a nightmare with her diva demands and superiority complex and she treated Shelby like a second-class citizen ordering him around like he was one of her assistants -- shortly after the news of their split rumors began swirling that Anna’s found love with Bill Nighy 

Page 24: Cover Story -- Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth at a breaking point -- problems add up for Reese and Jim as their 10th wedding anniversary looms -- her career has soared while his flopped plus being stuck at home together during L.A.’s coronavirus lockdown earlier this year was rough and now that things have started to open up Reese is relieved to have her freedom and be back at work again so that she can have the space she needs away from Jim 

Page 28: Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton -- all the wedding details -- newly engaged Gwen and Blake excitedly gear up for two vow swaps

Page 36: Beauty Beat -- just add glitter -- Lucy Boynton 

Page 38: Entertainment 

Page 40: Diva or Down-to-Earth? Irina Shayk does school pickup -- down-to-earth, Gwen Stefani has a glam squad -- diva, Artem Chigvintsev does garbage duty -- down-to-earth 

Page 42: Social Stars Posts of the Week -- Alec Baldwin and wife Hilaria and all five of their children, Nina Dobrev chooses lemons, Kaley Cuoco and her rescue pooch Dumps 

Page 44: Horoscope -- Scorpio Miranda Lambert turned 37 on November 10, They’re Not Together But They Should Be -- Leo Marlon Wayans and Virgo Taraji P. Henson 

Page 46: Made Ya Look! Sisters Nicky Hilton and Paris Hilton enjoy a day out in NYC
