So, how are we feeling, A nation?

[siennamain]

As a celebration for the demo coming out I'd thought I'd do a bit of Keshet's family and childhood trivia.

Using @ djarn 's picrew

•She's a Sephardic Jew, from Portugal. Her native languages are Portuguese from her mother and English from her father.

•Her father, Raymond, converted to Judaism after learning about it from dating Rebecca. (His Hebrew name was Mordecai)

•Her mother's family surname is Abreu

•She is very close to her grandparents, and she learned Ladino from them.

•Learning Ladino from her grandparents gave her that spark to start learning languages. So she learned Hebrew, Spanish, (Moroccan) Arabic and Yiddish online.

•She learned Latin and French at school. In her free time she's trying to learn Greek and Farsi. In the future she wants to learn Italian and Romanian (insert Thano's glove meme here with the Romance languages).

•Her favorite holiday is Sukkot, since she gets to build the Sukkah in the forest near Wayhaven which she loves. Also picnics and camping are her shit so, what's there for her not to love?

•Rook played guitar, so she started learning it as a way to connect with him. She can also sing pretty well.

•She learned to code because of her love of languages, and being nifty with tech because being a single daughter who lived most of her time alone (not being good at making friends) made for a pretty boring life (and also because someone had to fix the fridge, and the computer, and washing machine, while her mother was at work).

•TBH most of the skills that she has where learned due to the boredom of being all alone.

❝  every time you walk away you take another piece of me with you.  ❞

for Keshet and Adam because LOOK it's perfect

Ok, so... It is perfect. So much so that I wrote more than 1k words. I'm so normal. Thank you, Leo!!!

spoilers for book 3 under the cut!!! beware

Ever since the kiss, things have been... awkward. Extremely so. If the Chamber Members had to witness it, Keshet thought, they wouldn't have asked her to join the Unit full-time.

Not that she regretted the kiss or the promotion. Not at all, she only wanted the tension to dissolve away.

Keshet let out a sigh at the thoughts distracting her from the book on her lap. It was a genuinely interesting book, an encyclopedia on the supernatural world. Now that she was officially a member of Unit Bravo, her research couldn't be limited to the scope of whatever case fell on them- Nate recommended this series to start.

But of course, everyone had to go on patrol, except for Adam. And now the two of them were together, alone, in the Warehouse's library. Keshet couldn't move a centimeter without being drowned by the thought of him noticing it.

You'd think doing someone against the wall would make him looking at you less nerve-wracking. Keshet's eyes shoot up at the memory.

His lips looked even more inviting, now that she knew the taste of them and how perfectly they fitted against hers. Her eyes traveled downwards to his neck. She had kissed him there, but what sounds would she pull out of him if she grazed her teeth into the soft skin? Finally to his center, in the haze of the kiss she had barely processed how she had pulled his hips to hers, only noticing it by the small relief it afforded to the burning between her legs.

She shook the thoughts off her head. But too late, her heart was already thundering in her chest, and Adam's eyes were fixed on hers. He was blushing.

"Is everything alright?"

Keshet cleared her throat, nodding at the question, "Yes, my mind just... drifted."

"You should take a break, you've been here for hours."

"I really am fine, Adam. You don't have to worry."

She could almost hear his eyebrow rising, and she bit the inside of her lips to stop a grin from spreading.

"You know it's my job to worry."

"I know. And I'm grateful for it, but I'm actually enjoying the book- I just got distracted."

"Even if you are fine, you should still take breaks."

Keshet slumped her shoulders- he was right. She did need a break. She'd been forcing herself to concentrate on the same paragraph for the last quarter of an hour, and she could feel hunger starting to gnaw on her gut.

She groaned, "All right- I'm gonna eat something."

She stood up, and after carefully placing the book on the table she started making her way to the door. In the blink of an eye, Adam was beside her.

"I shall accompany you."

Keshet couldn't help a grin from forming this time, nodding as she opened the library's door.

Despite the fluttering in her belly, awkwardness settled around them both as they made their way to the kitchen.

She chewed on her cheek- she was good at talking, and she was good with people. But whenever she thought to open her lips to talk, her mind came blank.

Had she always been terrible at talking? Were people just somehow charmed by some kind of awkwardness she just found out about? Keshet shook off those thoughts. She was just in an awkward position she wasn't exactly familiar with.

She rolled her lips with a sigh- they'll work it out.

They finally arrived at the kitchen, the smell of the herbs on the window sill reaching Keshet before she even entered it.

"Doesn't it bother you?" she asked, nodding at the pots.

"Natural scents are less taxing on the senses."

"That's interesting- it's the chemicals, right?"

Adam wrinkled his nose, "Yes."

"I'll keep that in mind then."

He smiled warmly at her, dimples and all, and it was like the floor was swept from under her feet. Even as she grew more and more accustomed to its sight, it still looked so ethereal, so much like it was plucked out of a dream. And she saw it.

Keshet let out a shaky exhale, waking herself up from her trance. She could feel the heat gathering in her cheeks.

"Right- umm... food"

"I can make the tea for you, while you prepare the rest," he offered.

"Are we starting to form a habit, Adam?"

"You are part of the Unit. It's only natural that our routines start to include you."

"That's not an answer, you know that," she chuckled, and so did Adam, shaking his head.

Keshet grabbed the bread from the cupboard, and in a comfortable quiet, both started preparing the food.

As she spread the jam on the toasted slices of bread, she couldn't help but smile. There was nothing special about this. Just two people making tea and toasts. She smiled wider.

"Here," Adam handed her the tea. Their fingers brushed sending a shiver down her spine. Her voice was nothing but a murmur when she thanked him.

Keshet leaned back against the countertop as she ate. She let a sigh of contentment then, she was hungrier than she thought.

"One would think you're eating something lavish," he sounded amused, passing her a bowl of dates and leaning next to her.

"Feels like it," he let out a snort at her response, "I'm serious! I really like how you make my tea."

"I do it as you told me to."

"It still tastes better when you do it."

A soft smile lifted Adam's lips, and Keshet could feel his fingers reaching hers through the countertop. The world seemed to stop, time itself. The only measure was her heavy breaths as his eyes fell on her lips, and hers did the same.

"I suppose I'll endeavor to make your tea more often."

He leaned closer.

They were just talking about tea, why was she like this? Her heart was thundering.

"I'd like that."

She would, she wanted more of this. More of nothing seemingly important, she wanted to watch him make tea, and after drinking it, she wanted to clean her cup while they talked about nothing special. She wanted him to peck her lips when saying hello or goodbye.

She wanted to kiss him. And he was so near their noses touched.

In a flash, Adam was beside the dinner table, swallowing in dry.

Keshet's face fell. How many times was this going to happen?

As he started to move to the door, words fell from her mouth, "Please, don't leave. Don't just walk away every time something like this happens! Every time you do that is like you take another piece of me with you. I-"

Keshet took a deep, shaky breath, trying to shrug off how her throat tightened, "You don't need to do anything else if you stay. You know I'm taking your lead on this, and I'm not used to doing that, but I know this is hard and you're struggling with it. I don't- what you want, that's my priority, even if that's nothing, especially then, especially if you're just not sure. You make me feel so safe, I want to do the same for you."

She gritted her teeth as she waited for a response. He slowly turned around, his face mirroring her pain.

Her eyebrows lifted up as he walked towards her, silence filling the kitchen completely. Gently, he took the empty cup from her hands.

"I'll stay."

[siennadraws]

I like my men pathetic.

I like my men crying outside my bedroom door after I shove them against a wall and make 'em moan, because they know my strap game is insane, but they just cannot commit to a relationship with me because of their past trauma.

[siennadraws]

Replaying twc3 and,,,

Keshet, who used to be so lonely, who despite having such good friends now still felt the ghost of that past lingering, finally feels at home when four chaotic vampires burst into her life

[siennadraws]

I have twc rot on the brain so I'm gonna ask about Keshet and Adam

What were their first impressions of each other? What about love languages? Are they a fan of PDA or are they more reserved? When's the moment Keshet realised she loved Adam?

Hi, Leo!!! My knight in shining armor, as always 🥺

Keshet did not like Adam when they first met djdkfjd. She's a very understanding person, and tries her best not to fight, but she didn't give him a single inch at first. Which made her dislike him more.

He was rude and over-bearing, seemingly without a drop of compassion and didn't have an ounce of respect in his body.

But Keshet is a very understanding person. Once she saw those little specks of warmth in him she refused to forget them.

As for Adam, we know how that went- he fell head over heels the moment he saw her.

But she was so stubborn, even if she didn't know about supernaturals, she was still a journalist- tasked with solving a murder. Why would she not leave it to the more capable hands?

And yes, maybe she didn't know she was being hunted, but it felt like it, and it also felt like she wanted to be caught.

-

Keshet's love languages are gift giving (I guess that's what happens when the only proofs of love she had to show were always mementos) and physical touch.

She wanted to give Adam the teddy bear from the side attraction, and once they get together, she'll give him her lucky bracelet. It matches his eyes, and even if he doesn't believe in luck, it'll be a reminder of her.

Mishka said Adam's love language is acts of service, which must be such a weakness for Keshet, after y'know, her whole childhood to young adulthood djsksks

-

Keshet is comfortable with PDA, I don't think Adam is as much.

They'll definitely hold hands, and give a small kiss when they say goodbye in public. But I can see them snuggling when they're just with UB and Tina. Adam makes that effort to grow comfortable with it- for Keshet's sake.

-

Oh! Good one!

Keshet's first moment of "oh shit, I might be feeling something about him" was in the bar, in the first book. When their fingers brushed while picking up drinks.

But before that, something drew her to him- even if she didn't notice the pattern. Despite getting along so well with Nate and Farah, Adam was always the first one to pop in her mind.

I tried thinking about the exact moment she realized she was in love, but her feelings grew too gradually. She noticed this, and she knew she was falling, but she couldn't tell you the moment it switched from crush to love.

But by the end of book 2 ( right before Sanja's rescue) she was definitely already in love.

[siennadraws]

Do your ocs have a favorite food? 👀 And if so, what do they all like?

Hi Dean!!

Mmh I'll be honest, I'm nothing close to a foodie, but I know what kind of flavours they like!

Keshet has a sweet tooth, from pastries to dates, she's just obsessed. She doesn't get sick of it and doesn't need to drink some water to clean her palate. Her nannies definitely had to make some boundaries on food, and take her to the dentist, when she was a toddler.

Terys likes herbal tastes, she loves roots and vegetables, also tea. She also likes fish- her clan traveled next to water sources, so more often than not they ate fish.

Laïs tends to like her food on the milder side. Bread, apples, those kinds of soothing flavors.

[siennadraws]

I'm not keeping the winter special canon (bc it's not) , too much Christmas. And Rebeca Abreu Langford, despite her many Ls, would never make her child stay with Christmas obsessed people during the winter, no matter how nice. Maybe during any other time of the year?

But-

I will not take Keshet kissing Adam with tongue and making him moan for the second time away from her. I can't do that in good conscience.

That vampire needs his butch so bad, like,,,

They need each other so bad, actually.

Keshet is gonna catch herself spacing out somewhere and feeling her chin drop to remember how it felt to accommodate his tongue on her mouth.

Guess who reread TWC?
