15.

1980. Very shortly after Y/N joined the Order.

“Dog.” Remus pointed out.

“Dog.”

Y/N and Remus were on a walk in a little London park. 

“I need to pet it so bad.” Y/N said. Remus chuckled, sneaking a glance at her.

And luckily enough, as they walked past the owner, the fluffy golden retriever with a waggy tail proved to be friendly, running over to Y/N and Remus.

“Hi! Hello!” Y/N exclaimed happily as the dog ran up to her, sniffing and licking her legs. “May I pet him?” She looked up at the owner.

“Of course.”

“Oh, you’re so sweet aren’t you— oh!” Y/N giggled, kneeling down and petting the dog, giving him good scratches everywhere and letting him lick her face.

Remus looked down on her with fondness on his face before crouching down beside her to pat the dog’s head.

“Have a great day.” Y/N smiled as they got up. The owner tipped his hat at them, and they walked away from each other.

“Big dog lover, eh?” Remus said.

“Yes.” Y/N smiled. “I just love them so much, they’re so cuddly and happy. They make me feel better every single time.”

“That’s really cute.” Remus said, refraining from saying “you’re”. They had just began being friends, he was way too shy to let his crush on her show just yet.

+

It was a Tuesday evening in November and a few Order members were gathered at Number 12 Grimmauld Place after a meeting.

“Hey Y/N, you okay?” Remus said as he walked in on Y/N in the living room, laid down on the couch under a blanket.

“Yeah.” Y/N replied. “Just traditional seasonal depression. It makes me want to hole up and do nothing.”

Remus took a seat at her feet. They stayed in silence for a little while until Remus sat up suddenly. “Wait here.”

He went to the kitchen where Sirius was and whispered something in his ear.

A few moments later, a big shaggy black dog burst through the living room, running straight for Y/N.

“Oh my GOD!” Y/N sat up immediately, closing her eyes as the dog jumped on her and started licking her face. “OH MY GOD, WHERE DID YOU COME FROM—“ She squealed out of happiness as he wagged his tail, nuzzling her and happily accepting her scratches.

Remus felt warmth fill his chest and cheeks as Y/N’s hearty loud laugh filled the room. He realized that he loved seeing her happy like this. And he did like that it was his doing.

+

The kitchen was filled with the clunk of glass Butterbeer bottles hitting the table, the crunch of biting into a handful of chips and loud booming voices.

“Y/N, your turn.” Remus said.

“Mkay,” Y/N said, leaning over to pick up a card. She read it, “Question. Have you ever lied to me and if yes, what was the lie? Hmm…. I’m gonna ask it to the both of you, can I do that?”

Sirius shrugged from across the table. “Okay. So a time where both Moony and I have lied to you?”

Y/N nodded, leaning back in her chair. She looked at the two, smiling. “This should be good.”

Remus and Sirius looked at each other, pensively. Remus burst out laughing. “Well, there is a big thing that we’ve been keeping from you…”

“What?” Sirius looked at Remus confusedly. Remus stuck his tongue out and panted, and Sirius threw his head back in laughter upon comprehending. “Okay, yeah, Y/N there is one thing.”

“What?” Y/N asked in anticipation.

“You know that black dog that Remus brings around whenever you’re sad?”

“Yeah…” Y/N raised an eyebrow. This was not where she expected it to go. 

“Well… it’s ME!”

Y/N spat out her drink. “The fuck you mean it’s you?”

“It’s literally me.”

“Shut up.”

Remus was laughing to the point of tears right now.

Sirius stood up, did a little twirl and transformed into the dog. Y/N fell out of her seat.

“WHAT? REMUS JOHN LUPIN, THIS WHOLE TIME THAT DOG YOU’VE BEEN BRINGING IS MOTHERFUCKIN JUST SIRIUS??? SIRIUS?!”

Remus nodded, unable to speak as he wiped the tears of laughter from his face.

“Hold on… SO THAT’S WHY THEY CALL YOU PADFOOT?” Y/N yelled at the dog. Remus let out a howl of laughter. Y/N was under so much shock that she didn’t even think of admitting that she herself was also an Animagus.

Sirius transformed back into human form and come up behind Y/N to hug her.

“I feel so betrayed what—“ Y/N laughed. “I let you sleep on my lap!”

“And you still can, darling.” Sirius winked.

Remus rolled his eyes. 

“What, jealous Moony? Get over here.”

Remus joined his friends on the floor and the three tangled themselves in some sort of three-way hug.

“Guys?”

“Hmm?”

“I love you guys.” Y/N said, voice muffed in their embrace.

“To friendship.”

“To friendship”.

+

Y/N found herself watching Sirius undo his long mane of hair and comb his fingers through the knots before he threw it back into an updo.

“Siri?” She hummed.

“Yes?”

“You have such nice hair.” She complimented him.

He blushed slightly. “Well, thank you lovely.”

He walked out of the kitchen. Remus, who was sitting across the table from Y/N, lifted an eyebrow. He put down his coffee mug and a mischievous smile came upon his lips.

“Dove…”

“Hmm?”

“Can you come here for a sec?” He asked, leaning back in his chair and spreading his legs.

No need to ask twice for that. Y/N hopped up, and took a seat on Remus’ lap.

“What’s up?” She said, throwing her arms around his neck.

“Can I ask you something?” Remus said cheekily, tracing his thumb over the side of her hip. “Do you find Sirius attractive?”

That was not what Y/N was expecting to hear. She looked slightly taken aback. Her cheeks heat up. “He’s your best friend, Remmy!”

Remus shrugged. “I know. I just wanna know. I wouldn’t be offended you know, the opposite even.”

Y/N looked at him weirdly. Remus let out a shy chuckle. “I’ve never admitted this to you but… Sirius and I… we have in the past… occasionally…”

Y/N’s eyes widened.

“WHAT?”

That was even less of what Y/N expected to hear. “I’ve known you for a while now, and I’ve never heard of this!! What else have you not told me?”

“Just this, I promise.” Remus laughed, burying his head in her neck.

Y/N licked her teeth. “Damn. That’s kinda hot.”

“Really?” Remus lifted off her, reading her face for expression.

“Yeah…” Y/N said. She felt herself become shy. “And to answer your question, yeah Siri is cute. But you know you’re the love of my life, Remus.”

Remus smiled broadly. “I know. But it doesn’t mean we don’t get to have any fun, right?”

Y/N swallowed. She felt herself get aroused. And she knew that Remus would be able to smell it. It was a sense that had been permanently changed since his werewolf bite.

He did.

“You like the idea?” He whispered into her ear, hand sliding up between her thighs.

“Yes.” Y/N breathed, closing her eyes.

+

Y/N hummed to herself as she twirled around in her room in a bright red dress that she had just made herself. 

She heard the apartment door open and two pairs of footsteps walk in. It must be Remus with one of the other Marauders.

“Knock knock.” A voice said.

She looked up above her own reflection in the mirror. “Siri!”

Sirius came in and gave her a quick hug. “You’re the only one who calls me that.”

“It’s cute. Do you mind it?”

“No, not at all. What are you all dressed up for?”

“Oh, nothing. Just one of my latest boredom creations.”

Sirius hummed. “It looks nice.”

His gaze was respectful. It always was extremely respectful with Sirius and Y/N. He was like her gay best friend, except he wasn’t gay. At least not fully.

“Thanks.” Y/N smiled. “If I were to go out in this, how would I do my hair?” She pondered, going back to look at the mirror.

“Up. For sure.” Sirius answered.

Y/N gathered her hair up. “Like this?”

“Hmm. Yeah, but— may I?” He asked. She nodded and Sirius made his way to her.

He settled behind her and ran his fingers through her hair to gather it up in a ponytail. His fingers felt soft as they grazed her scalp.

“Like that.” Sirius said, holding the ponytail with one hand as his other came to rest on her bare shoulder. She felt her pulse in her neck dangerously close to where his hand was.

She looked at him in the mirror’s reflection. He met her gaze.

“Well, well, well, what fun are we up to here?”

Remus stepped in the room, jolting Y/N and Sirius apart. He let go of her hair and it came cascading down. 

“Hey!” Y/N whipped around to face him.

Although nothing really out of the ordinary had happened, the energy was different in the room.

“It feels like I’m interrupting something.” Remus chuckled, a hint of cheekiness in his voice.

“Course not.” Sirius said, plopping himself onto Y/N’s bed.

“I was just showing Pads my newest project.” Y/N gave a light twirl to show off the new dress. “You like?”

Remus licked his lips, stroking his chin. “Very beautiful.” Y/N grinned. From the side of his eye, he caught Sirius watching her too.

“Sirius, you like?”

Sirius broke off his gaze. “Hmm, wha- oh yes of course, our little bird’s quite the seamstress!”

Remus walked up to Y/N, greeting her with a hug. He leaned down placing a quick kiss on her lips. Y/N smiled through it.

She was about to pull away but Remus wrapped his arm around her waist. He slid his finger along her jaw and deepened the kiss.

Sirius looked away.

Y/N opened her eyes, giggling nervously. “Um, baby, Sirius is right there.” She whispered.

Remus opened his, glancing over at his friend on the bed. “Sirius, want to join?”

Both Y/N and Sirius looked at him, taken aback. They grew shy.

Sirius laughed it off, insinuating Remus played too much. But Remus didn’t drop the question.

“Listen, I don’t want to make any of you uncomfortable.” He began. “But… I do know for a fact that you two do find each other attractive.. and God knows it would be the hottest thing for me too. Maybe we can have a bit of fun?”

Y/N swallowed. She did not know what to feel except for a certain ache that began pooling between her legs.

“I- uh.” Sirius breathed. He ran his hand through his hair. He laughed, biting his lip. Y/N almost whimpered. “I’m down for anything if you are.”

Y/N let go of Remus. She nodded. Taking a hesitant step towards Sirius, she glanced back at Remus, who winked at her.

“Why don’t you climb onto his lap, dove, you love doing that.” Remus said, taking a seat in a nearby chair.

Sirius leaned back on his elbows, licking his lips as he watched Y/N climb onto him, a knee on either side of him.

“You’re such a pretty thing,” Sirius sighed.

“Could say the same about you,” Y/N responded as she ran her hands down his chest.

Sirius sat up, placing both of his hands on her hips.

“You can kiss her,” Remus grunted, thoroughly enjoying the sight of this.

Taking a deep breath in through their noses, Sirius and Y/N pressed their lips together. Letting out a moan, Sirius pulled her tighter against him, pressing her center to his.

Y/N cried out, the sound muffled by the kiss, as she wrapped her arms around Sirius’ neck and ground her hips under his hold.

“Merlin,” Sirius panted as the two pulled apart. “You’re exquisite. Can I touch you, sweetheart?”

Y/N nodded and Sirius brought both hands up, sliding up her ribs and coming to cup her breasts. He squeezed them, sending Y/N’s eyes rolling back.

“Such cute tits, oh I wanna see em,” he said, pulling the dress out of the way. He smiled when they were revealed to him, bringing his mouth to one of her nipples.

Remus loosened his tie from his corner, feeling hot.

“Isn’t she something?” He said, getting up and walking towards them. “I bet you’ve got Pads all hard and straining under there.”

Y/N grinned and nodded. “Let’s take care of that.”

She climbed off and Sirius undid his belt, pulling his pants off. Both Remus and Y/N kneeled down in front of him.

“Bloody hell,” Sirius swore again. It wasn’t even his birthday or Christmas.

He revealed himself. He indeed was already furiously hard.

“Gorgeous.”  Remus hummed. It had been a while. He placed a soft kiss on the head, licking over the slit.

Sirius hissed and squeezed his eyes closed. Y/N leaned forward, dragging her tongue down the base of his shaft as Remus sucked at the tip.

“Fucking hell!” He dared to look down, the sight of his best friend and his girl both sucking him off simultaneously enough to bring him closer over the edge.

He cradled both their heads with one hand, shaking and swearing until he finally came. Y/N wiped her mouth on the back of her hand. “Wow”.

Remus smiled, catching his breath. His eyes darkened. He could smell Y/N. And she was sopping.

“You wanna taste Y/N, Padfoot? I promise you she’s got the prettiest fucking pussy you’ll ever see.”

“Hell yes.”

Y/N whimpered, squeezing her thighs together before switching places with Sirius. Remus climbed onto the bed behind her, pulling her dress off over her head. Her breasts were still pink from Sirius’ hands beforehand.

Sirius’ eyes trailed down to her stomach, to the navy cotton underwear that hugged her hips. She spread legs and revealed a wet spot that had soaked through. Sirius almost fainted.

“Aw baby, you’re this wet huh? Sirius teased. He brought a finger to the warm fabric, spreading it and pressing against her clit.

Y/N cried, throwing her head back and Remus was behind her to bear her weight. “Who got you this wet, huh dove?” Remus asked, looking at her panting face as she settled her back nicely into his chest.

“You. You two.”

Sirius removed his hand and replaced it with his tongue, licking along the wet spot and dampening it even further. 

“Oh fuck,” Y/N gasped, crumbling onto Remus. “Take them fucking off.”

Sirius slid her panties down her legs, her pussy so wet that it already dripped and stained the sheet beneath her.

“Open up darling, open up. Let Padfoot see.” 

He slid his tongue up her folds once and wasted no time brushing it over her clit, taking it between his lips and sucking it.

Remus ran his warm hands over her stomach, then brought them up to her chest. With the pressure of Sirius’ tongue on her clit and Remus’ hands on her breasts, she moaned in ecstasy and threw her head back on Remus’ shoulder.

She cried, a string of half-gibberish swears leaving her mouth. Remus’ hand came and caressed her throat, then he ran his fingers over her lips, parting them so she can suck on them.

“So fucking good.”

+

Present day. 1993, Hogwarts.

Y/N took a swig from her goblet of orange juice as she opened the Daily Prophet that was laying around on the teacher’s table in the Great Hall. The headline wrote: “Sirius Black, newly sighted near Hertfordshire”. She lay her goblet down and quickly turned the paper to another page.

She glanced over at her side. Remus was quietly enjoying his breakfast.

“Anything interesting?” He asked.

She shook her head. “Nah.”

[softness-and-shattering]

Requisite grouch about the representation of embroidery, particularly in Bridgerton. Season 3, Im just getting to. So I get the point of this little scene is "Eloise is not interested in conventional feminine topics and doesnt fit in with her peers, and we are doing this by showing disdain for embroidery" and I fully get that in the cultural consciousness embroidery is this frivolous nonsense that rich women did to keep busy and isnt worth anything.

But two things. One, as Ive said before, the Bridgerton costuming is full of embroidery, of the kind that has to be machine made. And Im not gonna talk about historical accuracy because I consider the costuming part of the shows premise ie something you just have to accept to enjoy the show because its central. Like you cant enjoy Dungeon Meshi if you have to know how its possible for magic and dungeons to exist, you just have to accept that its part of the setting.

So either the seamstress has a few machines shes using for the lavish embroidery or her cloth is extravagantly expensive beyond all reason. LIke even more than youre already thinking.

And these women are surrounded by it, making their trade with it, its literally built into their fashion. So scorn for it makes zero sense. Second, in this scene in particular at the ball. The dialogue goes, almost exactly:

"Well the leaf stitch is tried and true"

[I think Eloise says something]

"Then theres the running stitch, the straight stitch, the fern stitch, the French knot -"

"What's your favourite stitch Eloise?"

This is not how people talk about embroidery! Its not exciting because of the stitches that exist, its exciting for how you use the stitches and what shapes and textures you can make, and how you manipulate the thread and fabric to create all kinds of interesting effects and patterns. And I fully understand that someone can be bored by that, its not for everyone. Im just mad that their "this is a normal conversation about embroidery" is listing stitching and asking someone their favourite. They could have done something like

"I just learned a new stitch, its called the split stitch, and it has this really cool effect that makes the thread look like its knitted, so Im embroidering my dog with this technique to really capture his fur, and im using French knots for his little beady eyes, and then Im gonna use the split stitch and this gorgeous russet floss to make him the coziest little sweater!"

"Oh my god I do not want to hear another thing about your thread dog and its fake thready sweater."

Thats like, a real conversation someone might have that someone else could find boring, and its respectful - and realistic - to the hobby and craft and art of embroidery! It sounds like something a human might say. Not "here are some stitch names, wait why are you being rude?". Its like imitating a conversation about someones dog like "and he has paws and his paws have nails and then he has knees and then he has two eyes and a tail" thats not how people talk about dogs! you might see "his tail is so waggy, and his eyes are so soulful, and his little feet are the cutest thing, let me tell you a story -". We couldve had a story about an embroidery mishap, that could be funny.

but no we must hold onto old outdated and sexist ideas about things and disdain them for no good reason while our costume department is embroidering everything because lets not examine any of our attitudes about anything!

The worst was still the dressmaker last season complaining about ladies and their embroidery MAAM THATS LITERALLY YOUR JOB. Ok now I can go back to watching for the pretties. And I very much admire Colin's big swooshy coat.

Im also trying to work out if Cressida is sapphic. Eloise and Pen absolutely have "middle grade sapphic friends have strangely intense friendship and then huge strangely intense breakup fight," and looks like Pen is bi, but Im really hoping they properly go into queer themes with Eloise and not just sign her up for a guy later. Also pretty sure the latest Bridgerton this season - Francesca? - is ace. Big ace vibes on her.

Swooshy coat!!

Had... 3? more meetups over last couple of weeks, and she's been rocking them every single time. (2 with group dogs, one with a trainer) Aside from practicing with the group's dogs (where the hardest part is initial approach), working on head-on passes, being chill when other dog is working, or playing next to her, and just, being a good citizen, we've also gone for a hunt, looking for random dogs. She's able to walk past a random, leashed dog, within 3 meter distance, giving me a lot of eye contact, and is vocalising way less than in the beginning. She's not very consistent with it yet, but the difference from meetup to meetup is bloody astounding. We've officially graduated the basic program, but I plan on reaching out to them about public transport access, muzzle training and whatnot. And on continuing with the group meetings - Which Fallon considers the boring side of seeing dogs. I never thought she'd be just. Politely bored, when encountering a dog. Magical. I can't believe it took me so long to find a system that works for us, but the social network the trainer has created is bloody amazing, and so much help in our training. And she so much happier, oh golly. I live to see that waggy tail just snap from side to side. Especially when she sees a dog, that she'd lunge and holler at, not two months ago, these days it's more of See dog - Internal grumble - AH! It's treat time - Offer eye contact - Treat

She's such a great dog.

[riisume]

Shiloh's usually either has a deadpan expression or RBF (unless he's feeling something strongly enough)

But I think it would be cute if his ears and tail gave away his true emotions for times he feels things more subtly.

For example, Maeve takes him out to a place to eat, she asks him how the food is. He says "It's alright" but she can tell he actually likes it more than he's letting on cuz his tails doin li'l waggies.

She'd playfully point it out to get a reaction out of him (he'd grab his tail to try and get it to stop and look pretty miffed and flustered... maybe tell her to shut up... secret tsundere...).

[freezingwhitefire]

Not the Mid-Winter fic I intended to write, but the idea came to me and I had to write it so here you are. Time finding Navi and her joining the boys on their adventure because sometimes they deserve nice things too.

It was always mildly annoying when they were separated by a portal, Time found it so anyways. Sure it was good practice in being able to find one another and to make sure everyone remembered the various methods to 'call' each other. Of course some of the others had their tracking methods, Sky had his dowsing and Twilight his wolf form... but not everyone had those.

Time sighed and closed his eyes trying to focus on the way his magic tried to tug him. As he did so he felt a tug he'd almost forgotten about. His eyes flew open and he turned to face the direction it came from.

One step, slow and uncertain, then another. Soon he was running in the direction he'd felt that tiny tug from.

A glow under the snow came into view ahead.

Time dropped to his knees beside it, ignoring the twinge of pain from his back. He dug into the snow, carefully searching for the tiny form he knew was there under it.

Sure enough he soon held a tiny body, carefully cradling it in his hand before tucking it into a pocket sewn into his shirt, the pocket close to his heart so the tiny form would warm up quicker.

Once he was sure it was safely tucked into the pocket, wings arranged so they would stay safe as well, he got up and headed for the next tug on his magic.

As he traveled towards it his hand kept straying up to the tiny lump in his shirt and he felt like crying in relief. He'd searched for so very long, years had been spent traveling everywhere he could get to, and here she was.

He felt the tiny flutter of her wings against his skin and stopped. He carefully lifted her out of the pocket and settled her on his hand. She curled up into a little ball before stretching. Wings fluttered more and as she opened her eyes the glow got stronger, the same breathtaking blue he remembered guiding him for so long.

"Who?" She asked, peering up at him curiously, no doubt feeling the same tugging he'd felt towards her.

"Hello Navi." He replied, voice gentle as the Kokiri words easily came to him.

Her glow brightened as she flew up to eye level for him. She zipped around him a few times, studying him and going by the slight tugging he felt checking that she wasn't imagining it. At last she stopped in front of him again and flew a tiny bit closer, close enough to touch his face with her hand if she stretched.

"Link?"

He nodded wordlessly, a helplessly relieved smile on his face and tears in his eyes. She gave a delighted and excited chime before bumping against his cheek. Time laughed softly and cupped his hand around her so she didn't have to keep fluttering her wings to stay close to him.

"I missed you, Navi."

"I missed you too. I'm sorry I left."

"... I'm sorry I drove you away."

"No! That's not what happened." She pushed his hand away and flew a little away from him, for a moment he was afraid she was going to leave again but she stopped and turned to face him, wringing her hands anxiously. "I thought my task was over. That I was going to... well to move on. I couldn't let you see that, I didn't want to make you watch me pass on."

"Navi..."

"I'm sorry Link. I'm here though, once I realized I wasn't going to pass on I started looking for you and I don't plan to go anywhere without you again!"

"... okay."

She seemed to realize that he was afraid she would leave and flew to land on top of his head. He sighed and closed his eyes, simply allowing his magic to mingle with hers and the bond between them to renew itself. Not long after, just before she could start to ask questions, and he knew there were going to be many questions, movement came towards him.

Time turned towards it and grinned as he recognized Wolfie bounding towards him. He moved towards his descendant and knelt, arms stretched towards him. Wolfie crashed into him and barked happily, tail wagging wildly.

"I take it everyone else is together?"

A nod and Wolfie backed away before walking in a couple of circles while Time got up.

"Ah, Twi, I want to introduce you."

Wolfie stopped and gave him a curious look before transforming back into a Hylain.

"Introduce me?"

"Yes." Time reached up and gently picked up Navi from her perch. He held her out towards Twilight. "Twi, this is Navi. She was my companion for my first adventure... and the friend I keep looking for. Navi, this is Link or Twilight my descendant."

"Hello!" Navi greeted him. She flew around Twilight, no doubt inspecting him like she had Time previously.

"Hi, nice to meet you. Are you going to be joining us?"

"I'd like to." Navi said, bobbing up and down a little.

Twilight smiled brightly at that and nodded. "Sounds good. Well all of our group are named Link so we all got nicknames. The old man here is Time. Now I got a question for you."

"Hmm?"

"Was he really raised by a tree?"

Navi laughed and Time grinned. He draped his arm around Twilight's shoulders. They started along the path Wolfie had made to get to him while Navi happily told Twilight all about the Kokiri Forest and the Great Deku Tree.

I LOOOOVE doberman doc but i wish he didnt have cropped ears bc its a really harmful painful process for the dogs.... dobies naturally have cute little floppy ears.... maybe one floppy and one upright and metal? idk!!!! very cute dog designs :) like them a lot

Thank u! :D And I know, it was intentional! I wanted to give him angular, sharp, stereotypical "big bad doberman" features. Doc as a character gives me the feeling of someone who has been through A LOT - between failed experiments or hardships in life. I mean he canonically lost his arm bc a Minecraft dev straight up ripped it out from him out of vengeance iirc.

You can see he also has a docked tail but gave himself a longer one through prosthetics. You can also see that Doccy still has her waggy tail and floppy ears. Since cropping of ears and tail was even more popular in the older days, i wanted to show that difference between generations. Doc isn't going to let anyone touch his baby, he has been through some crazy, though times, but despite his looks he still has a big heart.

Tldr: i have him cropped ears as flavor for his character, as you would by giving a character scars.

Adventure husbands get a pet! (Because I loved it so much when you did it with Peter x Lucian lol)

💗

Sounds adorable!

On with the fic!

--

After saying his thanks to Grayson, Will slipped into the foyer and started to remove his hat and coat. "Is Phileas in?" He asked, looking at Grayson as he handed over his clothing.

"He is, should be in the backyard." Grayson replied as he began to hang up the hat and coat.

"The backyard?"

"Yes. There is... a new resident of the home that he is currently entertaining."

Will looked at the older man, completely confused. Grayson just gave him a tired smile. "You'll see when you step outside, Mr. Charity."

"Right, yes." Will nodded, still confused. He made his way into the back of the Fogg home, through the kitchen, and out the back door. And there he saw the 'new resident', currently running around the back garden with an exhausted looking Phileas standing on the grass.

The resident was small, white and brown, covered in fur, and had one floppy ear and one sticking up. And a very waggy tail as it came bounding up to Phileas with a stick in its mouth.

"I do not see how you can be completely entertained with a stick, nor do I understand how you have so much energy!" Phileas stated, hands on his hips as he looked at the puppy.

The puppy just barked, excited for the stick to be thrown.

"Am I interrupting something?" Will asked, smirking as he strolled over.

Phileas sighed loudly, looking over at him. "Hello, William. And you are not, unless if you count me tossing this... extremely chewed up and wet stick. Here." He held it out for Will to take, and he did, which the puppy noticed, excited for the new person to toss it.

Will smiled at the dog and threw it, which it happily chased after. "Why a dog? Never took you for an animal person."

"I do like animals, but I haven't had a pet since I was a boy. A fat cat that loved to sleep in my bed with me. But this dog is now here because the poor thing was found sick out on the streets while I was out with Passepartout and Abigail a few days ago. Abigail was beside herself! Insisting that we save the poor thing, and the next thing I know I've somehow got tasked with the responsibility of caring for the little beast!"

"Why not Abby herself?"

"Because her father is allergic to dogs, and Passepartout lives here, but I am the home owner, so that apparently makes me Jules' master."

Will raised an eyebrow. "Jules?"

"Jules Verne Fogg, to be exact." Phileas sniffed, straightening out his vest. "If I am to be the one taking care of the dog, I think I have every right to name him."

"I supposed so." Will chuckled and watched as Jules returned with the stick in his mouth. Actually, it was a completely different stick. He dropped it right at their feet and his tail wagged happily as he barked at them to toss it again.

Will snatched it up and threw the toy once more, Jules rushing off after it. "You're really going to keep a dog?"

"If I don't, Abigail will be so upset." Phileas frowned and then mumbled. "And I'm starting to grow attached..."

The younger man grinned and leaned over, giving him a peck on the cheek. "You're so soft, so hard to resist a pair of big, hazel eyes, eh?"

"I don't know," Phileas said, turning to look at him, "you tell me."

Will blinked, then laughed at this before grabbing the wet stick that dropped on his boot.

Jules is a little terrier, by the way.

Consider: Werewolf* Mana

Propoganda below the cut and some slight spoilers for the Dokidoki precure movie

Spoilers if you haven't seen the Doki doki precure movie, but there is a magical wolf/dog person enemy, and Cure Heart gets bitten in the fight. Ofc my head's gone "hey. Hey! What if..?"

I was thinking about it, and somehow it works really well: dogs are loyal, energetic, and affectionate, and known for wanting to help people (who does that remind you of?).

So: Werewolf Mana

(*I say werewolf, but she does end up more dog-like so...)

They have a lot of fur, and Mana's hair is kinda already a little wild and mane-like. Even Cure Heart's form has similar vibes: tail-like hair, same bit of mane-like wildness to the hair as Mana, has those heart tags on her head with the ribbony bit that look like they could be floppy dog ears. The feathery furry bits around the edges of the outfit. Lots of white bits. That strap section across the shoulders that could translate so easily into a dog harness type-thing... Girl is already so dog coded it's unreal. (Almost more so than Akira, Cure "are you sure you're not a fox?" Chocolate).

(I suppose this counts as an au now)

So sometime after the movie, Mana becomes a werewolf. She doesn't realise it at first, the team probably heard about this great big white wolf spirit roaming town, and it takes a couple of incidents for them to catch up with it. Only to find that Mana's nowhere to be found, and their purification doesn't work. Then the wolf detransforms and it's Mana.

They try and keep her from transforming next time, but it doesn't work, but they manage to help her get it more under control because she's knows she's a werewolf now so is a little more aware of everything. They do this several more times, and Mana eventually manages to gain full control over it, becoming a more domesticated dog-like creature during her transformation instead of wild and wolf-like.

Ofc the transformation doesn't diminish her sense of her. If anything, she becomes more playful, and more wanting to help others. This causes some problems, mainly with Mana running off and causing havoc while trying to help. Maybe accidentally getting caught. She can't speak in her transformed form, being dog and all, but still finds ways to communicate. There are...several cures she ends up harassing for translation from the all stars bunch.

It is something she has to be careful of in day to day stuff- she doesn't want to get caught accidentally transforming because she lost track of the time of month, because werewolves and shapeshifters don't have the best reputation. (We've had 'I can't let a mermaid be president' Asuka. Now presenting the sequel: 'A werewolf can't be Prime Minister!' Rikka.)

Could lead to some entertaining all stars moments: Doki doki team blast off with Star Twinkle in their rocket, clear the earth, realise that this is an actual rocket, and that is the actual moon and oops-poof! Mana transforms. Yuni is not impressed. (On a separate note, Akira would notice something was different about Mana, but would be unable to place it. Yukari would sense it straight away, and find it entertaining. Yukari, as always, knows the best scritches for transformed Mana.)

Dog!Mana will let most of the mascots (not Tarte), and some of the babies ride on her back. She has carried Kome-kome, and Hummy like pups/kittens before. Dog!Mana also has a Very waggy tail, that somewhat offsets any of her attempts to look menacing.

Dog!Mana looks a lot like Marshmallow, but bigger (waist-height), and slightly more emotive, but still floppy ears. She also has pinker eyes compared to Marshmallow, retaining her natural colour. The fur is still white. When transformed as Mana, is is only in wolf or dog form. No midway. She eventually manages to transform into Cure Heart, or Cure Wolf heart, from her wolf from (or if the transformation hits while she's Cure Heart!)

Cure wolf heart is still in wolf form, but bigger, with a pink and white assymetrical harness with a heart on it like her cure outfit. She's big enough to catch and carry other cures in this form, at least for a little while.

In Cure Wolf heart form, she can concentrate, and transform into a more humanoid form, almost all the way back to Cure Heart, but washed out- all the pinks are a lot whiter, her hair's white and wilder, and she has patches of fur on the back of her hands ane her cheeks and jaw (Like Marshmallow). She can't hold that form for very long, as feels like being on the end of an elastic band.

For attacks, she can bark or howl a heart attack, and if they need to use their bows, Cure Wolf Heart jumps up, does a flips that produces stars which settle into the constellation Orion, from which a sort of cosmic Cure Heart appears, and fires the attack, although Cure Wolf Heart still directs it at her side.

(also HC that Alice manages to get a brooch of moon-dust made, which can transform Mana, letting her make more use of this 'curse' (Mana does not see it as a curse bc of her whole connection to Marshmallow). They're still working on how to undo the transformation, because otherwise they have to wait til next dawn.)

Anyway, that's the au, the headcanon, the thing. I am writing a fic for this, and I will leave you with these words from Rikka: "Well, if you would get bitten by a magical wolf/dog creature..."

The name has been among the top 10 names for baby boys since 2016, but has now overtaken the previous favourite, Noah. Oliver was third in the 2023 rankings for England and Wales. Whatever you choose for your child, it’s always a good idea to make sure the names flow well together as a group, and that the initials don’t spell out something that might embarrass you or them in the future! It may sound like common sense, but making sure you run through these considerations with your favorite names will help you feel more confident in finding the perfect name for your little one. Although baby names are often separated by gender, Parents believes that sex does not need to play a role in selecting names.

This decline can be attributed to the natural ebb and flow of naming trends as parents today seek more distinctive names, moving away from those that were overly popular in the past decade. Other names that have declined significantly on the SSA include Dior (-384 spots), Maxton (-273 spots), and Heath (-196 spots).

Choosing your boy dog’s name is important, as it’s a name you and your new puppy will be living with for a long time, so it deserves some thought. A good boy dog name can actually enhance your dog’s responsiveness and improve communication between you over a lifetime.

Door to Door Challenge Departure date minus 20 weeks

The Pothole Pandemic.

Ian's Week

It’s bad enough in a car, but when you cycle Devon’s lanes, at times it feels like you are in a down market amusement park on rough jolting rides with chicanes chucked in every few yards.

Some of the potholes round here are so deep they register on Strava as descents & climbs!  I once had both front & back wheels punctured by the same pothole, unfortunately for me I only had only one spare tube & no repair kit so had a long walk home in my ‘clip pity clop pity shoes’.

Potholes are dangerous to all vehicles but more so to the intrepid cyclist who has the audacity to go out during wet weather, of which I now think we have had enough of. When the roads are dry you can see and avoid but when wet, what looks like a puddle may well be a quick route to Australia!

It would be interesting to cycle through the centre of our Earth even if it wasn’t the plan when you set out but not ideal as I don’t tend to wear sunscreen during the British winter!��

Bike No2 had a clean and a little maintenance before I took it out for the second of my rides this week. I had a couple of good training rides this week, the Uplowman loop and on Saturday a route that combined the Culm Valley & Uplowman routes. 

Jane's Week

Here are my stats….

The best news here is that I am feeling far less tired in the morning than I used to and far less tired in the evening.  What I am feeling is tired around mid-morning – which I haven’t been recording as yet, and I have been thinking that maybe I need a protein boost at that time.  Following a plant-based diet need not mean that you are short of protein, but you do have to make sure you are eating the right foods to ensure you get enough.  So, a job for this week going forward will be to look at the protein I’m eating and check I am eating enough – particularly as I plan to be doing more strength building.

Last week I was so excited to being going to the Motorhome Show at Westpoint.  We had lots of accessories that we wanted to buy and a list of things to research (like storage ideas, security and so on).  I anticipated spending a lot of money – even though I had promised not to.  But disappointingly there was only one or two accessory stalls.  We bought a couple of bits and bobs but nothing to write home about – hence they do not get a mention in this blog.  We did however stop at the stall selling reconstituted dog food.  It wasn’t planned stop, it wasn’t on our list.  I had popped to the loo and Ian waited outside for me and the dog food stall was right next to the door.  By the time I came out I think the deal was nearly done.  So, we spent virtually nothing on the van Celeste and a rather a lot on the space saving dog food.  The verdict from Belle and Tarka is waggy tails and lots of drooling.

There were a LOT of second-hand motor homes for sale and so we did a fair bit of browsing.  Our verdict is, that even Celeste is quite old, she still has a pretty good layout, we couldn’t find a design we preferred.  We decided that we wouldn’t be upgrading her, even IF that had been part of the plan – which is definitely wasn’t.

The rest of the week was filled with swimming - this week in the sun. It was fabulous.

I also worked hard at Pilates, so let's talk about another Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis programme pillar.

Exercise

I think we all know that physical activity improves mental and physical wellbeing, but it can also have a significant long-term positive impact on MS symptoms and improve mood.  Back in the day (actually, not all that long ago) when a person was diagnosed with MS they were told not to exercise because it made their MS worse.  (WRONG) In fact, they were told to do no exercise and pretty much wither away.  People were told there was nothing that could be done to help.

It’s almost incredible to believe isn’t it.  In fact, within the last 12 months, when I had to tell a surgeon (in fairness, NOT a specialist in neurological conditions) that I had MS, they replied “I’m so sorry”, in that tone as if I had been given a death sentence.  It really shook me up and I can still hear that tone in their voice.

But what is really clever about exercise it that it actually builds and strengthens neural pathways.  (WHAT?).  Exercise improves Neuroplasticity and that means that, just because part of my brain and body were no longer talking to each other due to myelin sheath damage, the brain can find another pathway.  It can find a way to talk to different parts of our body.  Our brains are so smart.

One of the first things I did when I was diagnosed was to set up 1-1 Pilates sessions with Sarah Grey (Pilates South West).

Sarah, who always wants to increase her learning and help her clients more, started doing courses in Neuro Pilates.  You may think that Neuro Pilates is only for people with neurological conditions, but as she says, if you have a brain and a body then Neuro Pilates can help to improve movement.

My biggest issues back then were balance and falling over.  My balance was complete rubbish.  I couldn’t put on a pair of wellies without holding on to something or sitting down.  And I used to fall over, A LOT.  Especially in the garden.  I used to get so upset and cry and I am sure the neighbours must have heard me swearing in frustration at myself.  (I apologise now).

If you’re well and you lose your balance, your body and brain adjusts to stop you falling over.  If you have MS and you lose your balance, you go to stop yourself by taking a corrective step for example.  But with MS, it just doesn’t happen.  The foot just does not move.  The connection between the brain and the hip has gone on holiday and down you go like a pile of bricks.  When that used to happen, to prevent myself hurting myself more than needed, it adopted a sort of flop and roll technique.  I mean, once I knew I was going, I wouldn’t try to stop myself, I would just relax.  That technique was helpful but not very graceful.

But what was totally amazing were the exercises that Sarah gave me.  Very quickly, I realised that I could lift my leg high enough to put my wellies on. I can still remember how chuffed I was the first time I achieved that.  And I haven’t fallen over for a good 18 months now.  Every time I stop myself from falling, I say, “Thank you, Sarah”.  Her ears must be burning because I say that often.  It has changed my life.  Literally.  I have gone from feeling pretty much incapable of doing very simple movements, to feeling like anything is achievable.  So, every day, pretty much without fail, I run through a quick exercise sequence that keeps me on my feet.

Now we’re working on getting me ‘challenge ready’.  Building my strength etc. 

I have a number of people who I consider part of my MS team and Sarah is very high on that list.

This week marks MS Awareness Week.  Overcoming MS is joining forces with MS Society, MS Together, MS Trust, MS-UK, Neuro Therapy Network and Shift.ms to launch MS Unfiltered. It’s a sensitive and intimate campaign encouraging people to speak out and share some unfiltered stories.  So later this week, I will create a special blog to focus solely on that.

Thank you for reading Jane and Ian
