AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH THANK YOU ❤️

"First, there’s an escaped lunatic on the loose. And now we’re out of gas in the middle of nowhere. I know it’s Halloween, but seriously, how cliché can you get?”

Jon and Sansa have been broken up for a year. A chance drunk dial brings them back together on Halloween night. But then a series of unfortunate events brings them face to face with their worst nightmares. Can they face their fears head on, or will they be too afraid?

afraid, not scared by @chocolateghost

The Painted Lady turned around slowly, deliberately, and stared right through each ghost present in the room. Then, she raised her hands in a graceful arc, pointed loosely at the ceiling, and chanted, “Well, off you go.” She made a shoo, go away gesture, the spirits disappeared, and—wait. The spirits disappeared.

Izumi comes back in For the Spirits Chapter VI: Dream of You. Zuko has a mild panic attack and her upbeat attitude does not help him (or does it?).

Just what is she up to? And what is the meaning behind the blue eyes from Zuko's dream?

Finally convinced to attend a frat party with her friend, Katara is met with a nasty surprise.

Luckily, a concerned stranger is there to help.

Something rubbed against his leg beneath the table. Jon saw red eyes staring up at him. “Hungry again?” he asked. There was still half a honeyed chicken in the center of the table. Jon reached out to tear off a leg, then had a better idea. He knifed the bird whole and let the carcass slide to the floor between his legs. Ghost ripped into it in savage silence. His brothers and sisters had not been permitted to bring their wolves to the banquet, but there were more curs than Jon could count at this end of the hall, and no one had said a word about his pup. He told himself he was fortunate in that too. His eyes stung. Jon rubbed at them savagely, cursing the smoke. He swallowed another gulp of wine and watched his direwolf devour the chicken. Dogs moved between the tables, trailing after the serving girls. One of them, a black mongrel bitch with long yellow eyes, caught a scent of the chicken. She stopped and edged under the bench to get a share. Jon watched the confrontation. The bitch growled low in her throat and moved closer. Ghost looked up, silent, and fixed the dog with those hot red eyes. The bitch snapped an angry challenge. She was three times the size of the direwolf pup. Ghost did not move. He stood over his prize and opened his mouth, baring his fangs. The bitch tensed, barked again, then thought better of this fight. She turned and slunk away, with one last defiant snap to save her pride. Ghost went back to his meal. Jon grinned and reached under the table to ruffle the shaggy white fur. The direwolf looked up at him, nipped gently at his hand, then went back to eating.

Jon I, AGOT

It's interesting that GRRM would dedicate several paragraphs to a seemingly unimportant exchange between a boy, his wolf, and an unfriendly third party. But there's just something about this passage that has continued to nag at me for years since I first read it because, considering how heavy handed GRRM was with the foreshadowing in AGOT, this feels important.

Jon is sitting at table full of squires - aka would be knights. We don't really know who they are or what families they belong to, but it's safe to assume that they come from a certain level of privilege; this is considering the fact that it cannot be financially easy to be a squire. And these boys already have a slew of tales detailing all their previous knightly exploits regarding "battle and bedding and the hunt" which suggests that they have some capital. So you have boys who will soon be men. And they will, presumably, become men of some power.

These lads eat their fill of the chicken until only half remains, which Jon then gives to Ghost. The direwolf's name is not so important here but what he represents is. Throughout the series, we're told that Ghost is reminiscent of the weirwood trees (because of his red eyes and white fur). He's stated to be of and from the Old Gods and since he's a personification of the weirwoods, he might as well be one of them. It's almost as if Jon is presenting whatever is left on the table to the Old Gods (Ghost). He lets them devour his offerings while he silently watches. And the motif of watching is so interesting here because it's kind of like Jon takes on a stewardship role - to watch over land/people/etc. He oversees Ghost eating the chicken, so he's overseeing whatever has been given to the Old Gods. This is not new imagery to his arc. As a brother of the Night's Watch and eventually its leader, we have several instances where he leads people to adopting the Old Gods in some fashion. In ADWD, several recruits swear their vows to the Old Gods while he watches on as their Lord Commander. The Old Gods are also primarily of the North and we're told that Jon has more of the north in him than his brothers; interesting that this also includes Bran. So perhaps whatever is being offered to the Old Gods relates to the North.

We must also note that Jon initially thinks to give only a small portion, a leg, before pivoting and providing the entire thing. It feels to me a bit like the process of carving up a kingdom or something similar. The lords (represented by the squires) take what they want and leave aside what they don't; or perhaps they have eaten to their fill and can take no more. Then when his time comes, Jon first considers a small piece of land/group of people before eventually absorbing all of whatever is left behind. The concept of carving up a kingdom rings harder considering that we have several callbacks to the ideals of kingship in this chapter. Robert, Jaime, Tyrion, and even Mance though we don't know it yet, all play into this. And then there's the aspect of Jon letting the chicken slip between his legs which evokes birth/fatherhood, a very curious choice when GRRM could've just had Jon place the chicken on the floor. So land/people are carved up and Jon then uses whatever is left to birth his own type of kingdom. And this kingdom is one for the Old Gods.

This also touches on something that has been quite prevalent throughout Jon's arc. It's the concept of accepting the "others" or "those left over" who live apart from the accepted social norms. Arya (a tomboy), Sam (a gender non-confirming boy), the Night's Watch (criminals, extra sons, and men who have no future left or place to go), and even the wildlings are all examples of this. And Jon takes on a leadership/paternal role to every single one of them. He looks after them as a leader would/should. Sometimes, in the case of Arya and the wildlings, he's equated to a king. He's a steward/shepherd/king. There's messianic undertones to this:

Come unto me, all you who are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30).

If you're familiar with Judeo-Christian tradition, you'll know that Jesus is often personified as one who spent the majority his time among the outcasts. The idea is that he came to save them too and that anew kingdom (or new earth depending on your translation) would spring up after the end of the world where he would forever rule as king; which presents the idea of a final king after the earthly ones are done away with. Now GRRM isn't so heavy handed with Christian allusions as other authors out there, but he does have a Catholic background and Jon is so overtly a Jesus figure. And in Revelation, Jesus is king and god at the very end....

One last thing: the mention of the mongrel who challenges Jon has always been rather interesting but confusing to me. A mongrel doesn't really relate to one specific type of dog. But it's interesting that Jon notes several roaming about where he is. They follow the serving girls who carry the food to be offered. Mongrels are used to describe antagonist/villainous groups in ASOIAF. Sometimes, they're used to describe slavers in Essos. But what's interesting is that most of the time, they're used to describe Euron's Ironborn especially in Victorian's POV. So I don't think the mongrel who challenges Ghost is a supernatural threat of death (i.e., the Others) but rather a human one. They represent those who are called to the scene once the lords have finished playing their games. It almost feels like a feast for (carrion) crows....

But it doesn't really matter because this mongrel isn't much of a challenge for Ghost. Though the mongrel is much larger, the direwolf is able to fend her off very effortlessly. Given that "mongrel" is used to describe Ironborn raiders, could this exchange between Ghost and the mongrel point to reavers or sea raiders who rise and fail challenge Jon kingdom? There is a historical King Jon Stark who did this....

When sea raiders landed in the east, Jon drove them out and built a castle, the Wolf's Den, at the mouth of the White Knife, so as to be able to defend the mouth of the river.[1][2] His son, Rickard, followed him on the throne and annexed the Neck to the north.

ref.

So this might shed some light not only on Jon's already published arc, but also on what we can expect in the future. We have some foreshadowing through Jon's ADWD dream that he will not only rise with the dawn (thereby live through the Long Night), but will be in a position to lead people (wildings in that chapter) to a new peace after a hard fought war. Also remember that the wildlings, rather enthusiastically, swear oaths to him as if swearing oaths to their king. In this instance, the supernatural (a dream of the war for the dawn) is followed by the natural/human. So perhaps this particular passage (and Jon's dream) can be used to predict that Jon comes out on top, and quite effortlessly too, as a leader. And he becomes a leader who rules by association with the Old Gods; or rules a kingdom for them.

To end, I think it's of note that this passage immediately precedes Jon's conversation with Benjen where he voices his desire to go out on his own - the hero's call to action. This is the adventure that's going to kickstart his growth as a man, warrior and most importantly, a leader. So it looks like before we even began, GRRM telegraphed how it would all end in just three short paragraphs.

i’m gonna sound stupid for saying this but i’m acc very upset that real life is keeping me away from being a loser here 😔

[procyonloser]

Just for anyone curious about the Maybe This Time timeline, I wrote this out for me because honestly I played a lil fast and loose with ages and ideally now I'd have all the kids probably a year younger than they are, but here you go.

Lucifer is kicked out at 17.

Lucifer goes to college at 18.

Adam just turns 17, gets a tutor, recently turned 20yo Lucifer. They become very quick friends. Adam begins to fall in love with Lucifer. By the end of the year, Adam begins dating Lilith due to family pressure (they've grown up together, Lilith and Eve are also both 17)

Adam and Lilith get married late the next year when they're 18, and Lucifer (21) attends the wedding and is a man of honor. He's very supportive.

Adam attends college with about to graduate Lucifer (22) at 19. He and Lilith are having serious issues. Lucifer begins to have feelings for Lilith.

Late the next year, Adam and Lilith(20) begin to divorce. He's been yelling at her, insulting her, controlling her, and generally being an asshole. Lucifer(23) can no longer be friends with him, takes Lilith's side.

Charlie is born late in the year when Lucifer is 24 and Lilith is 21. (Lucifer begins the engineering process for opening a small park)

(Adam and Lute work together at IDK unspecified ages between his divorce and meeting Eve, and Lulu World officially opens on a small scale)

Adam (25) meets Eve :(

Cain and Abel are born very early in the year when he's 26.

Lucifer (29) and Lilith (26) begin their divorce.

Adam and Eve get divorced late in the year when 27.

Lucifer (32-33) meets and marries Eve (29-30)

In the current timeline, Adam is 37 close to 38, and Lucifer is 40 going on 41.

Chapter 5 :

Aemond is sure he would save himself a lot of trouble if he simply threw Lucerys in a cell and made sure to lose the fucking key. Perhaps he could simply make his rooms the cage and tie Lucerys to the end of his bed. Like a dog, rope around his neck. He brings his face up close then, looking down at his nephew, approaching him until their lips are barely inches away and Lucerys can feel his breath when Aemond speaks. “You’re not going to wed any of the useless fucking knights, ladies nor squires that will come crawling to King's Landing to ask for your rotten hand in marriage.” Aemond is a prisoner of his own desires, but he basks in the knowledge of sharing his depraved enclosure with the man who caged him there in the first place. If he’s a captive of his disgusting hunger then he shall not rot alone, for his nephew will be next to him in this all-consuming cell.

(6/6) Kotobuki Reiji's Private Story [Utapri Live Emotion]

Ch 1: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 6 with Reiji)

-TV Station's Hallway- Reiji: Kouhai-chan! Talk about a coincidence, did you have work on this location too? Haruka: Kotobuki-senpai! Thank you for your hard work. I've just finished with my work and decided to go home just now. Reiji: Really? I'm also done with my work. Somehow it kinda feels like fate, don't you think~♪ Reiji: That's right, if you're free right now can I take a little bit of your time? Onii-san will take you to a very good place☆ -VIP Room- Haruka: Um…Kotobuki-senpai, why are we here…? Reiji: Why you ask, because we came here to eat aren't we. Remember the upcoming CM that I was supposed to take a part of, you're the one in charge of the music, right? Reiji: So basically this is my way of thanks in advance☆ Once again thank you for accepting the request even though it was on such a short notice. Haruka: …Don't tell me the job that I take this time was thanks to Kotobuki-senpai's recommendation? Reiji: Correct~! Actually the composer that was originally chosen by the client suddenly cancelled y'know. Reiji: So one of the staff asked me whether I know any other good composer for the replacement. Reiji: The answer is obviously yes 'cuz there's only one person that came to mind☆ The songs that you made always resonate within my heart, so I'm sure it'll turn out good. Reiji: In conclusion, this meal is my way of showing my gratitude. I'd be happy if you could accept it without any hesitation. Haruka: So that's how it is… Thank you very much. Haruka: (Although I'm still a little bit hesitant, hearing that made me happy. But is it okay for me to receive all of this…?) Reiji: Your shoulders are all stiff, relax won't you. You don't have to be so on guard 'cuz there's only you and I in this room.

Ch 2: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 11 with Reiji)

-VIP Room- Reiji: It's time to dig in~ …Mm, that's delicious! I've ordered a lot so you can choose which one you like Kouhai-chan. Haruka: Oh, thank you. Um… either one looks delicious I'm troubled to which one to to eat… Reiji: Well then how about this pincho? It's cute and easy to eat right. Here, let me feed you, say ah~☆ (choices) <I can eat it by myself…!> Haruka: It's okay, I can eat it by myself…! *noms* *chews* Reiji: Fufu, your cheeks looks like a squirrel. Seeing you eating like that made me want to try it too. Reiji: Well then let's take one. …Mm, it's delicious. This one is pretty good too. <It's embarrassing> Haruka: I-It's embarrassing, so I'm going to eat it by myself. *noms* …Mmm, it's really delicious! Reiji: A~aa, I've been rejected. Rei-chan is sad~ Reiji: …Just kidding, Rei-chan is hardly one to give up, so I'm just going to look out for the next opportunity☆ Here, eat the other one too. (back to story) Haruka: Well then, thanks for the food. …Mm, this one is also tasty! Reiji: I'm really glad that I called you out earlier today. I've been wanting to have a nice chat with you just the two of us like this. Reiji: I'm even more fired up than usual for this upcoming CM. I mean the one who write the song will be you after all. Reiji: Not to mention there's also a location shooting in UK too♪ It's my favorite country you see, so I've been looking forward for it ever since. Haruka: I'm sure it'll turn out into a fun shoot. Though speaking about UK, the thing that immediately came to my mind first is…probably British Rock. Reiji: Oh, I also like that one too. Other than rock, I also have CDs with various genres, such as country or jazz music. Haruka: Really!? Um, if you don't mind may I borrow it sometime? I'd like to use it as a reference while I'm writing songs. Reiji: Oh, it's perfectly okay~ I'll bring it over next time and hand it to you☆ You can go ahead and use them as references! Reiji: …As I thought, Kouhai-chan really do love music huh.

Ch 3: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 21 with Reiji)

-VIP Room- Reiji: To think you were so hesitant just a while ago during mealtime, but now you became much more assertive once you're in work mode. Haruka: I-I'm so sorry, I got way too excited. Reiji: It's perfectly OK☆ Being able to honestly express that you like what you like is a wonderful thing. Reiji: I'm sure there was once a time when I was as pure as you are~ I wonder just where exactly did I lose it? Haruka: That's not true. Kotobuki-senpai looked so much bright and happy when he was talking about U.K earlier, and I think it's so wonderfull! Reiji: Eh, really? To think that you complimented me, I'm getting embarrassed~☆ Reiji: I have always been attracted to UK's culture and fashion you see. Reiji: So I always tends to choose a Union Jack pattern for my belongings. Look, just like this keychain. Haruka: Wow, it looks great…! Looks like you'll be able to buy more new things on your next job location. Reiji: That's right, I'd love to see a lot of things but… Unfortunately I don't think I'll have much time for shopping this time. Reiji: If you want to properly enjoy the charms of UK, as I thought you should just go there by yourself on a private trip. Reiji: There's also lot of places that I want to explore on my own pace too. Shall we go there together and have fun just the two of us? Haruka: Eh…!? Reiji: Whoa wait a minute, you look way too surprised! I'm just kidding. Right now I have to do my best on the CM job☆ Reiji: Thanks for today, I had a lot of fun thanks to you. Let's go out for a meal again together!

Ch 4: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 31 with Reiji)

-Radio Station- Reiji: Good morning~! Wait, Kouhai-chan!? What are you doing here today? Haruka: Good morning! Actually one of the people that I had a meeting with today was actually a staff member from this radio station. Haruka: When I was talking about Kotobuki-senpai, they invited me out to come here to take a look. Reiji: Hmm~? You bad girl, to think that you were trying to make a rumour and gossiping about me right behind my back. Haruka: A rumour, that's not it! It's just that… Reiji: Oh no~, is it something that you can't talk to me? Is it about how unremarkable I am despite my long career in the　entertainment industry or the fact that I'm loud…? Haruka: Eh, I never thought of that before! What we were talking about was… (choices) <About how amazing Senpai is!> Haruka: I got so passionate talking about how amazing Senpai is! Reiji: Heh~ So that's how it is. Rei-chan's impressed! Reiji: To think you can be that passionate when talking about me, can you tell me what part of me that's amazing in your eyes? <All of them are all compliments> Haruka: They were all nothing but compliments. As soon as we talked about it I can't seem to stop. Reiji: That much? Now I'm suddenly curious about the contents of it~ Reiji: Please tell me, Kouhai-chan. Just how do I look like in your eyes? (back to story) Haruka: That's… it's embarrassing to talk about it right in front of the person himself. Reiji: Eh, don't be cold like that☆ Come on, it'll be easier if we just talk it out quickly, right~? Interviewer: Everyone, we're going to start the recording meeting now. Please gather round! Reiji: What a shame, looks like it's time over. …Oh well, let's do our best for today, shall we. Reiji: I'm going to work hard even more so that I could get more compliments from you♪ Speaking is one of my forte after all, look forward to it okay!

Ch 5: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 41 with Reiji)

-Radio Station- Reiji: Dear listeners, hustle muscle~! I'll be your main radio host for today, Kotobuki Reiji☆ Haruka: (The recording has started…! What kind of show will it turn out to be) Reiji: We've received a lot of letters asking for life advice this time. Starting from our very first letter with radio name, "Mijuku Tamago"-san. Reiji: "I want to invite my crush to go out, but I'm afraid to get rejected. If it's Rei-chan, then what would you do in my place?" Haruka: (Looks like everyone have a lot of worries. What would Kotobuki-senpai reply…) Reiji: Yeah, I get you~ Love is something that tends to make us look like a scaredy cat. Reiji: I'd probably going to make a lot of excuses so that I wouldn't get rejected. Like inviting them in regarding of works, or maybe as a thanks or something☆ Reiji: Having a tactics in love is a must. It's okay to cheat just a little, right? I hope your feelings will reach them someday! Reiji: Now, on to the next person~! With radio name, "Rei-chan Love Girl"-san. Reiji: Thank you, My girl! *kiss* Now on to your worries~ …Hmm. Reiji: "My head is so full of Rei-chan that I can't seem to concentrate on anything. I even keep making a mistake during my job. What do you think I should do?" Reiji: I'm happy to hear that you're always thinking of me 24/7. But making a mistake during work is painful, isn't it. Reiji: I also don't want to make you suffering. To me, as long as my fans stay smiling is already one of my happiness. Reiji: Even if you don't force yourself to try to remember me, I will always be in your heart. And that's why please treasure yourself more dearly. Reiji: Now then, who's next~?

Ch 6: (unlocked if you reached intimacy lvl 51 with Reiji)

-Radio Station- Reiji: Dear listeners, did you have a good time? That'll be it for today. See you again☆ Reiji: …Thank you very much! I'll be in your care for the next time as well! - Haruka: Kotobuki-senpai, thank you for all of your hard work. The recording really went successfully…! Reiji: Thanks, Kouhai-chan! Looks like you enjoyed it too. Haruka: Yes! I was especially touched during your response to all of the letters asking for life advice. Haruka: It's as if you shared the pain as well with the senders, and how you give so much comforting words to them… Haruka: Now I really understand why you were loved so much by your fans, Kotobuki-senpai. Reiji: Understand why I was loved, huh. Then, Kouhai-chan…have you fallen for me now? Haruka: Yes, I really and helplessly fallen in love with Kotobuki-senpai's speaking ability! Reiji: Whoa—! As expected, Kouhai-chan is so blinding~! But, thanks for the compliment☆ Reiji: Since you can't use facial expression or movement during radio, you need the ability to convey your feelings and thoughts through words. Reiji: That's why I always try to be more aware of the listener's presence and speak as if they're right next to me. Reiji: And because you were here today, somehow I felt much more closer to all of my fans. Thank you. Haruka: Likewise. I also managed to see a new side of Kotobuki-senpai for today, and that really made my day. Reiji: If it's like that, then you're welcome to come and check me out on my job again. I'm going to show you a lot of my different sides.

For the Spirits— Chapter VII: Take Me South

Take me south when it's the time

Pour me away like golden wine

I'll form a splash and it will dry

But in the shape of you

—Pure You by Nothing But Thieves

.

Yume placed her hands on her hips and took a step forward. “That I do, yet I can't help but wonder about the timing. Heading South, seeking information on the Tribes…it's all very sudden, don't you think?”

The folded parchment hidden under his vest suddenly seemed to hold the weight of the world. Zuko placed a hand on his chest, where the sketch rested just above his heart. He stared thoughtfully at the floor.

Why now, indeed?

Stay: Chapter Six

Explicit (Slowburn) Lawlight with background Beymane & Meronia Read on AO3 Contains: Depictions of mental illness, including suicide and self-harm; please see fic notes for more detail. Also this is set in Canada. The only thing that makes life bearable for Light Yagami is the Kpop idol Beyond Birthday. His world has shrunk to the little glowing window of his phone, where he spends his days watching Beyond’s videos, re-reading his words, and defending him online from the legions of people who don’t understand that he’s the most important person on Earth. Perhaps his closest remaining relationship is with his anonymous Tumblr nemesis, L, who loves Beyond too, but loves him all wrong. In this chapter: Light goes to the parking lot outside of his therapist's office and Beyond gets caught up in some PR troubles. As always, thank you so so much to Monica/@lightyaoigami <3 <3 <3

He doesn’t want to look. He doesn’t want to see. He wants to sit here with the cold against his skin and nothing inside his head. There’s no way to empty it out, but he can almost imagine otherwise if he repeats all the titles of RE:4PER’s songs like shodai, a beautiful thing to clear the ugliness inside of him.
