Ask Julian Devorak!

[badlydrawndoctordevorak]

Hey Julian what was your favorite thing about being a plague doctor

"Favourite? Hah! Oh, dear anon, there wasn't anything, ah, favourable about being a plague doctor, unfortunately."

"Bodies piled up, patients, no- people crying out, begging to be saved from the plague, and, well, you know how it ends."

"Being a doctor, however? Now that has its rewards."

"I can't say bumping into patients after they've recovered doesn't put a smile on this tired face. Especially the little ones."

[self-insert-hell]

“That depends, the first or second time?”

“While Adam may not remember our first meeting after losing their memories, I met Adam through a mutual friend of ours, Asra. He became my assistant and we worked endlessly to find a cure for the plague. Unfortunately, the plague eventually got to Adam before we found a cure.”

“Thankfully, what he does remember is the second time we met. I was heading over to Adam’s shop as I needed to return a book to Asra. I lost the key, so I decided to go through the window of the shop to go upstairs to where they live. That’s when I met Adam, who was rightfully caught off guard.”

Introduction

Welcome to the untamed wilds traveler. Take a rest by the river and speak to this wolf all your worries.

Anyway, hello there! You all may call me The Fenrir, or Fenrir when not using formalities. I have many identities, but this one is where I will chronicle my journey with my alterhumanity. That, answer asks about our knowledge of the communities I inhabit, or just generally whatever alterhuman posts I am feeling like posting about.

I do not know everything as I am not a therian and I am not physically alterhuman (to my knowledge at least). So I cannot talk about experiences on those. I have only been awakened fully since this year. I presume I have been awakened longer, approximately 2-3 years, without knowledge of the terms. Though, topics I am open to talking about are what I am, which I will explain later in this post. I am also willing to talk about my own experiences and how my alterhumanity affects me and my day to day life. Though, I should warn that I will talk about the negative sides as well. Things such as negative shifts (as I experience them) and the negative sides to my alterhumanity. Though, I will combat those posts with positive ones.

Some more information, I am 21 years old and have several queer identities. The more important ones being that I am a (trans)demiboy, demiaroace, and polyam with 3 lovely partners.

Identities

In this portion I will be explaining my experiences with my identities. Is it a lot of labels? Perhaps. Though, I think it's generously also organizes each one. In each label I will explain what they are for anyone awakening or wanting to know about linktypes.

Otherkin

A basic understanding is that otherkin are those who involuntarily identify as something not of this world. Such examples include gods, aliens, elemental, dragons, vampires, zombies, et cetera.

Type(s):

Drago~ Specifically a chaos/space dragon. I get intense shifts, especially of the phantom and astral variety. I am naturally carnivorous and I have only experienced primarily good feelings during shifts.

Copingkin

To note: This is a term underneath the otherkin umbrella, as otherkin includes coping based identities. I prefer to separate these two terms due to how different my experiences with these terms effect my day to day life.

My understanding of copingkin in that one involuntarily identifies as a certain being as a means to cope. This could be for a variety of reasons. One can be a domestic breed of dog, another can be a character from Baulder's Gate 3, and maybe someone identifies as the nemean lion.

Type(s):

Fenrir~ Ah, what this blog is based on. Anyway, I intensely awakened as the fenrir this year due to what I perceived as severe betrayal where I reacted in a way similar to the Norse story "The Binding of Fenrir." I only Identify as the Norse myth version as it was the closest to my feelings and shifts. My shifts tend to be very negative. Perception shifts tend to be the most common and the hardest to come down from for me. It's not all bad though.

Fictionkin

Those identifying as fictionkin are those who involuntarily identify as a character from a piece of media. From books to shows/movies, to video games. Is it a fictional character one involuntarily identifies as? They could definitely be fictionkin.

Type(s):

Julian Devorak (The Arcana: A Mystic Romance)~ This is my oldest type surprisingly. His martyr personality and his fatal flaw of sacrificing himself and working himself into the ground is what made me connect and see me as him. Along with uncanny similarities between our lives. I don't shift often with him. It is more of a situation where if I see art of him, I just think 'Oh hey, that is me.'

Otherhearted

This is a touch different than a kintype as you involuntarily identify with something, rather than as that something. Can be anything, or multiple anythings. It's what you involuntarily identify with that matters.

Type(s):

Lucifer (Clado?)~ There is no real one depiction of Lucifer I do not identify with. Though the strongest ones tend to be closer to the biblical depiction and the Netflix show Lucifer. This is possibly because of my journey with religion (I am not Christian in any sense other than agnostic). I don't have a lot of shifts to my knowledge, but that's fine by me.

Otherlink/Copinglink

Note: I have combined them due to what I have now learned.

Otherlink and Copinglink are synonyms. Normally used interchangeably. These are terms when one links to, or voluntarily identifies as, something for any reason. I tend to associate copinglink with coping with something, but that isn't the case for all. Use these terms however you wish. Anything can be linked to for any reason, like if it is for the fun of it.

Type(s):

Anatolian Shepherd/Saint Bernard Mix (Copinglink)~ I aim to please and am used to wrangling others together. I linked specifically to a domestic mutt as a means to cope with my copingkin and the negative feelings it brings about at times. Seeing myself as a big, goofy, lovable dog makes me feel at ease. Especially with my eagerness to please. It is also due partially because of how I love, like a dog. Even if I'm hurt.

Telemachus (EPIC: The Musical/The Odyssey) (Otherlink)~ I took some time to read The Odyssey (still in the process of it as well) and have been listening to EPIC. Telemachus reminds me of myself when I was younger and had more of an optimistic and ambitious outlook on life. He is partially a copinglink as I envy he and his father's relationship. The way he looks up to his father was the same way I did with my own. I knew something was there, but it didn't fully connect as a hearttype or as a kintype. So, linktype it was.

Questioning/Considering

Considering (Linktypes): Odysseus (EPIC: The Musical/The Odyssey)~ I am currently doing research by finishing the book and waiting for the musical to finish, which will not be until the end of this year I would assume for the musical. This is because some of the things that happen to him in The Odyssey I have never experienced (besides fighting off monsters) personally. Though, there is a part of me that feels a connection there somewhere.

Questioning (Theriotypes/Kintypes/Hearttypes): None at the moment.

Boundaries

Now, onto important information on this blog. My boundaries are to be followed. I am not afraid to block if someone completely disregards them.

I do not want to deal with drama. If I am wrong, respectfully let me know by sending a message, by reblogging the reply, or by commenting. I am learning and some labels I do not know much about. I am constantly learning, and constantly pursuing my own self-education on certain topics.

I still bleed the same blood. Do not harass me under any circumstances. Respect me and I will respect you in return. I enjoy a good jest every now and again, but even every now and again I do find some things over the line. Do not joke at my, or others, expense for laughs.

Do not harm others who are on my blog without just reasons. I am one who believes in innocent until proven guilty. This is due to some issues in my own past. I do not enjoy drama either as stated before. So if something is going on with a certain user, respectfully let me know and I will fix what I need in the way I choose to do it.

When doing asks, keep away from NSFW topics. While I am above the age of consent, I do not want to go into that on this blog. Nor am I interested in sharing any accounts as such. What I do is private, and is not exactly appropriate for my blog.

If I say to quit it, I mean it. When I say "quit it" I mean to cut it out and act your age. As it may be seen in my boundaries, you must give respect to earn respect. We talk thing out if something happens. I will not argue if someone is acting like a toddler with their arguments. (For example: an Anti telling me to end it. I consider it childish, showing that you have the emotional comprehension for others on the same level as a young child who knows no better.)

If you interact with the ask box, please be kind. While I may seem to be able to handle those who are acting like pains, I can be surprisingly sensitive. Coming at me guns-a-blazing or keyboard warrior like, I get extremely anxious when reading them. I spiral quickly. I tend to understand if people are upset, but if I feel threatened, I will bite back with a block. No questions asked there.

DNI

This will be interesting. Lets see how many respect my do not interact list. I will block anyone who doesn't respect my interaction boundaries.

Harmful paraphilias. Those who claim to be MAPs or Zoos and other similar paraphilias. I find them disgusting. I do not care to know if you are in recovery. Stay off of my blog.

Anti-Alterhuman (and others like them). I believe this is reasonable since this is my alterhuman blog. I do not want to interact with you, and the same for you to me. Out of mutual dislike, simply do not interact with me and just block me. Simple as that than telling me how I identify.

Transmeds/TERFs/Transphobes. I believe me stating that I am trans and a demiboy is simple enough to understand why I do not want these interactions. Though for those who are wanting more, I find them ignorant. I have dealt with enough people disrespecting my gender identity to have a short fuse with them. Especially if they bring up Christian rhetoric to back themselves up.

Homophobes. I also group up people against polyamory here too. But because my sexuality and romantic orientation are more complicated then I have stated, I do not wish to interact with closed-minded individuals. I respect you, you respect me. Once again, Christian rhetoric against the LGBTQ+ community are not welcome. As for those against polyamory, it's okay if you have been hurt or it is not your style. It does not mean you have a right to telling me how to live my life. I will not tell you how to live your life. Give me the same respect.

Proshippers and the likes. I find them disgusting as well. While it may be fictional, it doesn't make it morally correct. I do not like what is there or the impact it has on the youth. The possibilities of normalizing unhealthy dynamics is extremely harmful. I lived through the box office openings of Twilight and its fanfiction movie (I will not give out the name). This ruined how my generation saw love (Not everyone, but looking back at what was coming out at the time).

Racists and other harmful ideologies. I think this is pretty self explanatory. While I am not POC myself, I have friends who are and I will always have their back. Sentient beings deserve respect as much as the next. Let us respect one another in this shared space we call the internet.

Hardcore Christians (extremists, cults, et cetera). Seem weird or a bit ironic being Luciferhearted. Though I have good reason for this in my "Do Not Interact". I have dealt with Christian rhetoric before, and I don't exactly appreciate being told something I don't exactly believe. I'm agnostic/pagan. Abrahamic religion need to give me proof of their beliefs. Though I do believe their figures and god have a place. Though, I actively choose to believe more in the pagan gods of old. Such as those of the Nordic and Hellenic pantheons.

Minors (Below 18 years old). With me being 21, I do not feel comfortable being in an area around minors. Even though the blog is safe for work, I would like users interacting being a minimum of 18 years of age.

Short Story Taglist

I’ve been meaning to compile a list of content tags I will commonly use, and their meanings. This both gives me a handy reference to use when I’m finalizing everything to post—because honestly I blank out on how to tag it once I get to that point, lol—and I figure I’d post it as both a reference for my own readers and a potential resource for other minific authors here on Tumblr.

This list will be updated as needed; and if you have any tag you think should be added, please comment your suggestions!

I will not be adding tags for certain taboo subjects, as that content will never be on my blog and I’m sure those who write it already know how to properly tag it.

I will not be adding ship tags because frankly there are too many to add.

Something There ♡︎

a cute little drabble for Asra x Julian (or Asrian, lol) from The Arcana requested by the wonderful @bakerozza!! they are an amazing artist for the arcana fandom, so make sure to check their blog out!!

if you liked this drabble or just this ship, maybe you'll like my one-shot "Been Alone For Far Too Long"!!

pairing: Asra Alnazar x Julian Devorak (from The Arcana)

tags: fluff, catching feelings, realizing feelings

summary: Asra shamelessly teases Julian which results in him realizing his feelings for him

requests open!! | masterlist | rules for requesting

"How weird seeing you here, Doctor Devorak" Asra sarcastically hummed upon seeing his long-time friend nestled in his favorite chair in the Rowdy Raven.

"I can say the same about you, Asra" The doctor raised his face to look up at the magician, giving him a slight smirk.

"Are you waiting on Portia? Or maybe.. someone else?" The magician teased Julian about his almost non-existent romantic life, but as he said it, an unknown feeling of jealousy spread throughout his chest.

"No, just me tonight-"

"Great!" Asra didn't even ask whether he could slide in the chair next to him, but he knew Julian wouldn't mind. Yeah, sure, they snickered and bickered, but both of them silently agreed they loved each others company.

The ginger didn't move an inch, staring right into Asra's sea-deep violet eyes.

"Julian?" Upon noticing this, Asra practically purred his friend's name, never missing a good chance to tease.

"Hm?" The doctor simply hummed, way too tired and drunk to form words.

"Do I have something on my face for you to be staring like that? If I didn't know you, Devorak, I'd guess you were admiring me~" Every his word was meant to raise embarassed blush in Julian's cheeks. However, that surprisingly didn't happen. He only started chuckling sweetly, placing his hand on top of his mouth.

Asra liked that. It was cute, in a way. Oh god, did he just think that Julian was cute?!

"No, Alnazar, you certainly don't. You're just- Your eyes are just- Damn it, Asra, have your eyes always been that pretty?"

Even though it could've just been the ungodly amount of alcohol he drank talking (since Julian was never bold like this), Asra was practically floored.

No, this wasn't how their little teasing game would go - Asra was the one who teased, and then Julian would blush and deny it. No, this was never supposed to happen. It wasn't fair. Shit, it was so unfair! Julian wasn't supposed to be that smooth and kind, he wasn't supposed to look that cute with that slight tint in his pale cheeks and with his aburn locks furrowed!

These kinds of feeling- Were they here all along, and Asra was too blind to notice them? Or did they spring up just now?

Have Julian's eyes always been so pretty?

That's all, thank you for reading, and thanks again to bakerozza for inspiring this drabble! Follow for more! <3

OC Links

*Note: A few characters’ appearances/voices have changed, so make sure to check out the tags on the blog. OCs are tagged with “; (name)”— for example, my character Myarel is tagged with “; myarel” (no quotations).*

Canon Muses

*Note: Many of these muses aren’t listed on my muse page due to being unable to update said page from my phone. Muse tags vary. Some are tagged with fancy tags but I may switch between those and regular tags. They’re listed here in alphabetical order by fandom.*

**Edit: I’ve also marked which fandoms/muses are most active. Very active fandoms will be bolded, semi-active italic, and dormant/needing some time before interaction are regular text. I’ll also put an asterisk after new muses/muses I haven’t played yet. I beg that if a fandom isn’t bolded or italicized that you discuss it with me before sending something in or making a starter— I have a lot of muses and it takes time to get into the swing of new ones when I’m not in the right mindset!**

Info About The Writer

Hi! I’m Alistair— you can call me that, or you can use my username for pretty much everywhere else, TheetyPie/Theety. I don’t mind either way.

I’m a trans guy, I use he/they pronouns. I’m panromantic/asexual, and I’m 27 years old.

I have 3 cats, they’re my babies. I also (as you can tell from above) have a lot of OCs, and the number is still growing. I want to turn my ideas into a bigger creation someday, still not sure exactly where I want to go with it.

I do more than write. I do art, I like video games, music, and just collecting stuff. Current obsessions are Monster High, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, makeup, crystals, and jewelry.

Rules

The most important: I do not RP smut. In the past I’ve used the fade-to-black method, but I’m not entirely comfortable with that with most of my muses.

In the same vein, DO NOT FORCE SHIPS. I love ships as much as the next guy, but I would prefer to discuss it first, or for us to agree on it. It’s cool if your muse has a crush, totally fine— mine get crushes all the time! But make sure if you want to ship, we discuss it first.

In a similar vein to that one as well, no god-modding/powerplaying. If your character is strong, an immortal being, or whatever, cool! I have some of those too. But there should always be a limit. Don’t say your character is moving mine unless we’ve talked about that. Attempt to move them. Usually I follow along as long as boundaries aren’t pushed.

Don’t kill or seriously injure my muse without permission. Fights happen, of course, but again: discussion. I’m up for threads where my canon muses are injured or killed, but not where it happens to my OCs, unless we’re getting into a backstory and another OC that’s already deceased dies. Non-serious injuries are alright to come out of nowhere with, but if it’s a first meeting, I’d prefer to plot it out.

I’m semi-selective. I’m kind of particular about who I follow and who I thread with. I prefer us to be mutuals to thread, but you don’t have to be mutuals to send me things.

I’m very bad at keeping up with people. If you message me and I don’t respond, it’s usually bc I’m shy, I forgot, or I’m busy with work. It’s not you, I promise. Usually I don’t message first bc I’m nervous.

Back to shipping: I’m also multiship. Usually my ships are in different universes, unless discussed with all parties beforehand. The exception is a few of my OCs that are partnered together— ask about their availability. I love random ships, just talk to me about them!

I love duplicates of my muses. Whether it’s “x meets self” or I find someone I share a muse with, I love RPing with just about everyone. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if we have a muse in common!

One of my other most important statements, not really considered a rule, but it’s still important: if you want to know something about any muse, canon or OC, please tell me— ask or message me! I haven’t been able to write down a lot of info about any of them because I’m on mobile, but I will infodump for you if you need/want to know something. I love talking about my children, they’re precious to me.

If you send something in or make something for me when we haven’t even spoken, I might not feel comfortable responding. I’m very shy and nervous about not having any discussion beforehand. 😭

If there’s anything I left out or you need to know, just ask!

[arcanaapprenticecatherine]

Oh... oh no

I have a fantasy fictional character type

I keep drawing similarities between Julian Devorak from the Arcana and Bruno Madrigal from Disney's Encanto, and I have fallen into a bizarre pit

So here's a comparative list that absolutely no one asked for:

• curly hair

• definitely outside my dating age range

• anxious mess of human beings

• please help my fictional boyfriends the professional help they need

• uncanny animal companions

• *theatrics* *the drama* *theater*

• considerate of others

• self sacrificing

• self-sacrifice for the people they love

• self-sacrificing to the point of absolutely hurting their own health and sanity

• FAMILY is a big priority for both characters

• HIDING!!!!! FOR YEARS!!!! (HIDING FROM THE LAW, HIDINGS FROM THE FAMILIA)

• no normal entrance will do. Coming in through the windows? Backwards fall behind the painting?

• pry this idea from my cold, dead hands, but they are both subs

• not to infantize them, the are definitely subs

• god help me, but they deserve happy fulfilling romantic/sexual relationships and possibly a family (if they so desired)

• do not egg me on for fanfic. I've already got 20+ unfinished in my Encanto fanfic alone and am trying to grasp how my writing skills have declined in quality in my arcana blog

[lunastarhawk]

Behold my stuff and things

Rhaella made me do it.

I write and I fixate on things. That's it that's the blog.

This started off as an Arcana blog, to share my fanfiction and scroll through fanart of my favourite fictional people, but has since grown into a place for me to collect stuff I like. An interweb scrapbook, if you will. A little castle in a sandbox where I vibe with my favourite things. And you can sit with me if you like :) but I'm old, tired and socially inept. She/her, if it matters.

I ask minors to please be cautious, this is not a SFW blog. Like, at all. If in doubt please don't follow me. Stay safe out there.

I exist on AO3 as LunaStarhawk and on reddit as u/lunastarhawk.

OC Tags

The Arcana - Altheia Featherstone

I have a separate blog for my Julian-romancing Arcana OC, Altheia, which is a themed blog based on stuff she likes, outside of the Arcana. She, er. She likes boats. And the sea. But I post Arcana-related bits here under her tags Altheia Featherstone, Altheia aesthetic and Altheia moodboard.

Her own blog in her own right is at @altheia-featherstone (Rhaella made me do it)

Dragon Age: Inquisition - Favian Trevelyan

I don't write DA fics (yet?) but I am obsessed with do have a handsome Dorian-romancing Inquisitor, Favian. I do nothing but stick screenshots of him and my Inquisition playthrough to my scrapbook here on tumblr dot com. Peak self-indulgence. His tags are Inquisitor Favian, and Dragon Age Shenanigans.

A separate blog exists for him but I haven't decided yet how I'll use it @inquisitor-favian (Rhaella made me do it)

Rhaella - belongs to @rhaella-rhavelli but I love her and will squirrel her away into my pocket any chance I get.

Fixations

Other fandom things I reblog a lot for my scrapbook, putting this here mainly as an index for myself:

FF7 - Sephiroth and Vincent Valentine mostly.

Loki - series, MCU, comic and Lady Loki. I ship Lokius.

The Arcana - Julian Devorak, Julian x Altheia. I avoid anything Asrian like the Red Plague.

Ch. 1: Poison

The start of Julian Devorak and Rosie Springwald's entangled fate. At least, that they remember.

WC: 2,398

AN: Here we gooooo!!! I'm so excited to finally start posting these chapters. This is the continuity where Rosie is truly her most unhinged which is quite fun to write :^). As always these will be available in full on my blog and on my Ao3. (ill rb with the link later)

Rosie startled awake as a flock of birds took off from the window ledge. She sat up, rubbing the remainder of foggy dreams from her eyes. She had been slumped over a desk in the Palace library, books and papers scattered all around her. Pippin sleepily opened one of his eyes, watching her from where he’d curled up inside one of the desk’s many cubbies.

‘Oh, that’s right,’ she thought. ‘Portia said I’d have the day to myself. Something about the Countess’ headaches…’ She ran a hand through her hair, staring at the desks' contents scattered around her. With the day promised free of the Countess’ prying eyes, she had begun to dig through it further, having hoped to find anything, anything she could use. But despite her efforts and the sizable mess that had built up around her, she had found nothing. Nothing to prove Julian was innocent or if he had actually killed the Count three years prior. Nothing she could use to protect him. 

“Oh, come on, I really need to get in there!” 

Rosie’s head snapped up as she heard Portia’s voice drifting through the open window. She sounded frustrated, as if she were arguing with someone, although Rosie couldn’t quite hear another voice. She stretched and got to her feet, holding her hand out to Pippin.

“You comin’?”

The squirrel just grunted and rolled over, evidently too comfortable to be bothered. Rosie shrugged and shouldered her bag, still yawning as she made her way outside to the gardens.

|| “Please? You’re really trying my patience here.”  “How dare you? Don’t you know who I am?!”

The voice that answered Portia was harsh and vicious; a shriek that pierced through the heavy foliage that still blocked Rosie’s view. She could feel volatile magic already crackling over her knuckles as she balled her hands into fists. 

“Is this guy botherin’ you, Portia?” She asked as she burst into the clearing. But there was no one else to be seen, it was just Portia and a large white bird, which screeched angrily at them both. 

“Oh, Rosie!” Portia seemed surprised to see her there, and let out a small laugh. Before them sat a small, cozy looking cottage, surrounded by a lush garden. The bird squawked out an expletive from where it perched above the door to an adjacent shed. “Rosie, this is Camio. Resident pain in the ass,” Portia said, gesturing to the bird, which lunged at her hand as she did.

“I can take care of him,” Rosie offered, already reaching for her dagger. Portia laughed and shook her head. She clicked her tongue and a small cat came running out of the garden and leapt onto her shoulder.

“That’s it Pepi, get him!” 

The cat yowled excitedly as she swiped at the cockatoo. The bird shrieked, beating the air with its wings. One well aimed swipe sent it teetering, and it only just managed to take to the air before hitting the ground. It hissed a string of swears as it made a hasty retreat.

“They’ll never forget me! They’ll never survive without me! Bastards, bastards, BASTARDS!” The bird screeched one last time as it vanished over the trees. “Ooh, that awful bird!” Portia said as she picked a feather off her shirt. “He certainly had a colorful vocabulary,” Rosie said.

“Oh, you should have heard him the time I caught him trying to steal my apples,” Portia laughed as she petted the cat, still perched on her shoulder. “I’m surprised you managed to find this place,” she said, gesturing to the cottage. “It’s a little off the beaten path.” 

“Well I heard you yelling at the bird and thought someone was hasslin’ you,'' Rosie said as she fluffed her hair, her cheeks a light pink. “Where are we, anyway?” “Oh! How rude of me,” Portia cleared her throat and spread her arms out to show off the cottage. “Welcome to Casa de Portia, my own little oasis on the Palace grounds. Just watch out for the graspgourds, they’re feisty today.” 

“You have graspgourds?” Rosie excitedly asked, oblivious to the vine winding around her ankle. “I can never get any to grow!” “These ones sure seem to like you,” Portia laughed as she stepped on the vine, making it unravel and retreat from Rosie’s leg. “Why don’t you stay a while? It must have been a good walk to get here.” She gestured to a bench carved out of a log that rested in the shade of the cottage.  Rosie made her way slowly through the garden, fawning over all the plants along the way. As she settled onto the bench, Portia shot her a wry smile as she picked up a rake.  “You don’t mind me working a little while we talk, do you? I’ve got a lot to do in the garden today.” “Not at all! Would you like me to help?” Rosie asked, starting to get back up. Portia laughed and waved  for her to sit back down. 

“Rosie, you’re my guest! I can’t have you getting all sweaty in the garden. Not on your first visit, anyway. You just sit and look pretty,” Portia said with a wink. “Well, if you’re sure,” Rosie sank back onto the bench, her gaze drifting over the garden and the trees surrounding it. Now that she had stopped to think, questions were beginning to peck at her  mind. She remembered what had happened at the shop the day before, how Portia must have followed her, and how upset she had been to see Julian there. “So…Julian’s your brother, isn’t he?” The familial resemblance had been obvious once they were together. She was starting to worry if it was enough for Portia herself to be in danger. 

The shock and hurt that suddenly overcame Portia’s features was enough of an answer. “Yes,” Portia said, staring down at the ground. “I’m sorry about that scene at your shop, you know, I was just…surprised to see him there.” 

“I was too,” Rosie said. He wasn’t unwelcome, but she’d have preferred if he had just asked instead of breaking in again.  “He’s got a real flair for the dramatic,” Portia said, her voice slightly less somber. “I’m glad to see that hasn’t changed.” 

“How long has it been since you’d last seen him?” Rosie asked. She remembered what Julian had said—that Portia had grown up strong. Portia sighed and leaned against her rake. “Oh, fifteen years?  Maybe more. He left Nevivon—that’s where we grew up, when I was still little…” Portia’s gaze was far away, trying to remember. “You didn’t know he was here?” Rosie asked, thinking to herself that if she had a younger sister, she’d be sure to tell her when she was in town.

“Not until I saw him yesterday. What he thinks he’s doing here…” Portia said worriedly before she shook her head. “I’m only sorry I didn’t smack him a little harder for the trouble, honestly. He could be in huge trouble,” she sighed again before she squared her shoulders and managed to give her a halfhearted smile. “I didn’t know you two knew each other. That happen before or after milady hired you?” 

Rosie fluffed the back of her hair. Why was Portia looking at her like that?  

“I met him the night the Countess came to the shop. Just after her, in fact,” Rosie said as she remembered the glassy eyes of Julian’s mask. That piercing red; she’d been ready to kill him, she had been so frightened. She couldn’t imagine feeling that way now. “Funny, that was.” 

“Hm, that sure sounds like my brother. Why didn’t you tell milady?” Portia asked. Her expression was genuine, and Rosie could tell she would understand her, no matter what she said. 

“It weren’t any of her business. Well, it were, I guess,” Rosie said. “But I did na’ trust her.” 

“And you still don’t?” Portia asked, as if reading her mind. “No,” Rosie almost laughed. “I know that must sound so ungrateful, seen as how she’s been so good to me since I been here.”

“No it’s alright, I understand,” Portia said. “You know, milady’s convinced he’s the culprit, but I can tell you’re not. To be honest, I’m relieved. I want to help milady’s worries, but…” 

“But he’s your brother ,” Rosie said gently. “Exactly.” 

“Look,” Rosie said as she got to her feet and made her way over. “I’m not convinced he didn’t kill the Count, but I’m not convinced he did, either. Even if he did, he doesn’t deserve to hang. Lucio, from what I know, was as much a plague on the city as the actual plague,” she paused, taking Portia’s hands. “I’m tryin’, but I dunnae know what to do. I dunnae know if I’m smart enough to figure this out.” 

Portia smiled warmly and squeezed Rosie’s hands. “I’m sure you are, and there’s only one thing we can do: keep working at it. Things are messy now, but they can’t stay that way forever, right?” 

“Right,” Rosie said, feeling surprisingly encouraged.

“Oh my,” Portia glanced up at the sky. “It’s getting kinda late, huh?” 

It was already well past noon. Golden, late afternoon sun dappled the garden and danced across the women’s faces. “I’d better get back to work. But I’m glad you came to talk to me. I knew we’d be friends.” Rosie grinned and hugged Portia, so tightly that the shorter woman let out a surprised squeak. The two laughed and waved goodbye as Rosie headed back into the foliage. 

|| The late sun shining through the trees was warm on her back and the air was full of bird song, but Rosie was too ensnared in her own thoughts to care. She wanted to keep Julian out of the hangman’s noose, but how hard would that be with all of the Countess’ guards trying to sniff him out? She was but one woman, and they were many. She sighed and leaned against a tree, twisting the cord of her amulet in her fingers.  Despite it all, she did feel better after speaking with Portia. Somehow, whatever trials that lay ahead seemed just a little less insurmountable.  Still, she wasn’t keen to return to the Palace. She turned off of the path and allowed herself to wander aimlessly through the forest. The further she got from Portia’s cottage and the Palace, the darker it grew. She stopped and stared up at the sky; it couldn’t be nightfall yet; perhaps a storm was starting to roll through. She shook her head as dread began to grow in the pit of her stomach. She turned hastily and pressed through the darkness.  ||

Eventually, the soaring spires of the Palace emerged above the treetops, with the rest of the shining building following into view. Rosie stopped at the treeline, staring out at the rolling fields before her. A creek serpentined through the grass, babbling quietly. At first she paid it no mind, before her attention suddenly snapped back to it. What she saw made a shiver run down her spine: the water was running red. She tried to tell herself that it was a trick of the setting sun, but there could be no mistaking it. Crimson flowed slowly and seeped into the banks. She dug her nails into the tree next to her, trying to keep herself steady as her heart raced. Terrified, she followed the water’s path with her eyes; it was seeping out of a small, shadowed corner of the Palace. Poison . It would have been easy to miss, the creek was small and out of the way, the guards would have little reason to patrol the area. She let out a strangled noise and shut her eyes, turning back towards the gardens. But, to her horror, she was greeted by rot and decay. The trees all along the field were dying, and seemed to have been drained of all their color. She gulped, clutching her amulet with shaking hands. On one side of her was a decaying forest, and on the other, a river full of poison. She was trapped.

‘ I have no choice, I have to follow it to its end. ’ 

With feet made of stone, she started to follow the water, making sure to keep an ample distance from the bank. ||

Soon, the vast fields gave way to a rocky cliffside, the stream being funneled into limestone structures. The aqueducts; dozens and dozens of them that flowed into the city to provide the citizens with water. She stood on the edge of the strange, twisting path, high enough that she could see the entirety of Vesuvia. The city sprawl was chaotic and vibrant, swirls of smoke left chimneys to dance in the air, twining together like lovers. A raspy caw from above alerted her to a raven that circled overhead. It swooped low as she walked along the aqueduct, at times seeming to fly alongside her. She couldn’t shake the feeling that the bird was somehow familiar. Regardless, she appreciated its company. 

“Oh, hello,” Rosie said as the raven landed heavily on her shoulder. “Are you friendly?” 

The raven tilted its head and gently nibbled on a strand of her hair.

“I’ll take that as a yes,” she said. The bird’s eyes were wary, but it remained still as she carefully brushed its cheek. A sudden noise startled both of them, and the bird vanished back into the darkened sky. Rosie sighed as she was left alone once again. 

‘Sure hope Pippin enjoyed his nap,’ she thought as she continued walking.

Eventually, the aqueducts lowered and joined another water line,  forming one of the many canals that led deeper into the city. Rosie could see the beginnings of urban life as she reached the city’s outskirts. Tall, old buildings rose up against the horizon, almost blocking out the skyline. She stopped, staring at the canal. The water wasn’t the same bright red as it was in the fields, but she could tell the poison was still there, hidden in the depths.  ‘Crimson poison leaking from the Palace to poison the city’s water, ’ Rosie thought, her lips pursed. ‘ How poetic. ’ 

“Rosie?” A quiet voice made her jump. A tall figure slowly emerged under the dim light of a street lantern. Standing with half his face cast in shadow, was Julian.
