[valend]

Okay so I watched the first two episodes

First episode was lowkey boring af I couldn’t remember half of it, what I do remember Lestat and Louis levitating butt naked mid air for some reason. Second episode was definitely better, like both of them fighting than going to sleep in their coffins but lestat kept talking about how he didn’t want to sleep angry was so😭😭 ALSO LOUIS’S MOM GAGGING HIM over his clean nails and glasses💀 and that dessert at the end of episode 2 looked so fucking good my mouth was watering. There’s probably more that I’m missing but idk

Anyways I can’t wait for Claudia to show up🙏

You’re right tbhh first episodes are boring 😓😓

AND YES OMG LOUIS MOM AND SISTER WERE GAGGINGGGGG HIM

I’m gonna be honest the first season was not THAT interesting in my opinion. The only nice parts were the ones with Claudia

[brittle-doughie]

Madeleine Cookie aunties and mother are so pretty like omg? 😘

Haha, Madeleine. I wanna date your aunts and mom.

[cocolito19]

Madeleine would also be terrified but he could never pass the opportunity to pose for a picture 😘😘

The dealer once again crunched his snacks gleefully. “My dude, that is what we call sex pollen!”

*****************

Olivia coughed as she balled up more of her skirt to cover her nose and mouth. Her eyes narrowed upon the multiple sets of bodies writhing in ecstasy around her. While she side stepped her way around them, she tried to keep her mind clear of the powerful effects of the gas.

Someone in here has to still be in their right frame of mind, she kept repeating silently to herself.

She needed to find them and try and figure a way out without getting caught by the masked men. As she walked through Ramsford, she glanced back at the sight of Madeleine riding Riley's little press secretary. It was odd that after the first masked men came in, he'd followed a little while later wearing one too.

Not paying attention to where she was going, she bumped into a solid form and nearly tumbled to the ground.

"You okay?" Maxwell asked, grasping her around the waist.

"I'm fi--where are your clothes?!"

"It's a party." He quirked an eyebrow at her. "You know I always strip down by the end of the night."

"Right." She rolled her eyes. "But it isn't the end of the night yet."

"Everyone else started doing it." Maxwell shrugged. "I couldn't let them all get the drop on me this year."

"Nevermind." She involuntarily snuggled closer within his arms. "Did you notice the gas that was pumped in earlier?"

"Yeah. I had a fog machine set to go off at midnight. It must have somehow gotten triggered earlier." His dimples deepened with his grin. "I had the most epic strip tease planned where I come into the room at the beat--"

"It isn't fog!" Her cheeks heated with the thought of him stripping and dancing. "Look at everyone! Does this happen when fog rolls in?"

"Not usually." He mumbled, seeing that this had gotten completely out of hand.

"Whatever is in this gas, it is making everyone react like this." She brushed her body against his. "Why aren't you affected?"

"Huh." He scratched the side of his face while looking about. "I have absolutely no idea."

Maxwell grasped her arms to keep her still.

"Um, Liv? You're starting to act like them."

"I know!" She snapped, trying to get a grip on her baser emotions. "It's taking all my willpower to not knock you to the floor right now."

"Really?" His grin grew wider. "Then what would you do?"

"I would rip my dress off and then--NOW IS NOT THE TIME!"

"Seems like the right time to ask that." He teased.

"Dear God. Of all the people still in their right minds, why are you the only one?" Olivia cried out.

"I don't know. Maybe I'm immune."

He grabbed her hand to take her to a place without people copulating to distract them.

"Could you put some clothes on, please!" She pleaded, her eyes darting to his extremely toned backside.

He glanced over his shoulder and noticed where she was staring.

"We'll head to my room."

"Yes, please."

Olivia didn't know if she was begging him to take her there for his clothes or for an actual bed to begin to do all the wicked thoughts she was having.

You're having them about Maxwell Beaumont, she reminded herself. Maxwell, did dance really make his body this desireable, Beaumont.

Maxwell led her up the back stairs. They stepped over the few servants who had gotten hit with the gas, while also ducking under a rather adventurous noble and acrobat.

"You know?" Maxwell shut his bedroom door behind her. "This kinda reminds me of this one party I went to."

"What happened?" Olivia felt unusually hot in a room only lit by one lone lamp.

"I was in California and got invited by this group of hot models to come party it up in Malibu with them. It was some kind of rager."

He slipped on some silk boxers then searched for a pair of pants.

"Anyway," he continued, "this fog machine started up and the whole place just went full on orgy. It was wild!"

He turned around while pulling on a fresh button up shirt. His jaw dropped at the sight of Olivia standing in front of him completely naked.

"Then what happened?" She reached past him for a magazine and began to fan her heated body.

"Umm...well...the group I came in with kinda piled on me and we had our own orgy outside at the pool."

He stumbled back and hit his dresser when Olivia draped her arms around his neck.

"Did you ever discover what it was that triggered it?" She pressed her lips to his throbbing pulse point then trailed them down his body.

"Some kind of sex pollen, I think, is what the host said. Makes all your inhibitions drop but notches your sexual desire to like a thousand."

"That makes sense. Whoever pumped this in here must have used that. But why?"

She slid her hands along his abs, trailing her nails up and down his chest.

"Is that a hippopotamus?" She blinked at the unusual tattoo.

"Yeah."

Somehow that image of the baby animal made her mind clear for a moment.

"Oh god! Why didn't you stop me?!" She snapped, moving quickly away from him.

"You caught me off guard!" He jerked his shirt closed. "Plus we were talking."

"When have I ever caressed and kissed you while talking?!" She demanded, snatching up her clothes.

"In reality, never." He mumbled.

Olivia huffed as she tried to zip her dress.

"Wait a minute. Why did you stress in reality?"

"Umm. Okay." He ran his hands through his hair. "You may or may not be the source of all my fantasies."

"Maxwell!" She could feel the need to get undressed again taking over.

"What? You're gorgeous! We both like playing with sharp objects. You scare me just enough to where I know sex would never be boring. I've pictured us getting--" He confessed.

"STOP!" She slammed her hand over his mouth. "Not another word about what you've imagined."

"Sorry!" His muffled response was said into her hand.

"Damnit!" Olivia moaned over the feeling of his lips and stubble brushing against her palm. "Kiss me. But just once!"

Her hand slid up into his hair right when his mouth slammed down on hers. She was surprised at what a good kisser he was. His tongue tangling with hers made her want more. So. Much. More.

He clutched her close to him as they broke apart for a second. Every part of his body screamed he take advantage of the situation to finally live out his fantasies while she was unable to control herself. Then his conscience reminded him he wasn't that type of guy.

His breath was ragged as he reminded her they needed a plan of action.

"You're right." Her chest heaved with deep breaths.

She couldn't stop staring at his mouth, imagining all the delicious things it could do to her body.

"Liv?" Maxwell hesitantly asked.

"Right. Save everyone." She repeated to herself. "Then make you use that mouth of yours all over my body."

"Whoa." Maxwell breathed. "You want that too?"

"STOP TALKING!" She roared. "Or I will be forced to hurt you!"

"Oh yeah?" He grinned at her.

"Yeah." She gripped his arm. "Out. Now."

"Where are we going?"

"To see if there is anyone left who can help us." She propelled him out into the upstairs hallway.

Hii 🥰

So I got your tag and I’d love to know more about Ghosted and Here comes the Sun ☀️

(Was it inspired by the Beatles song or am I just projecting one of my favorite songs 😅)

Thank you so much for the ask @peonierose!! 😊😘💚

I'll start with Here Comes The Sun; it is indeed inspired by the Beatles song! I didn't start writing with that title in mind, though. Quite honestly I just started writing and the song popped into my head and it fit! I hope, anyway. 🤣

You can find more information here, if you’re interested. 😊😘

So for Ghosted I'm just going to share a snippet of the next chapter. I had a title for it but I'm not sure what it'll end up being. But I'm actually kind of excited for it. If I talk too much I'll give too much away. Just know it's unedited so it could change between then and now!

"Come on, Madeleine, lighten up!" Liam exclaimed. He was trying incredibly hard to get past this hard, bitter shell of Madeleine's. After all, they were getting married in just a few short weeks. Liam decided if he could get past her rough exterior, maybe he would find a better person hidden far, far underneath.

"I don't need to lighten up. I also don't need to be inebriated at a public event!"

"Who's inebriated? There's probably only half a shot in there!"

"That's beside the point! We are at a public event, Liam! And it's only one in the afternoon." Madeleine emphasized.

Adelaide raised her glass and hollered, "It's five o'clock somewhere!"

Thanks again for asking, @peonierose! 😘💚

[1lostsoul0fishbowl]

👣 Who are some great influencers in your writing? Or blog?

...and...

💀 Do you have a fic/story you regret writing?

:D

Ooo, these are great questions! Thanks for asking! 😘

👣 some of the biggest influences on my writing are the authors I read and loved growing up. Cynthia Voigt, Jerry Spinelli, Gordon Korman, Louis Sachar, Beverly Cleary, Lois Lowry, and Madeleine L’Engle… as well as whoever was ghostwriting all those Babysitters Club books for Ann M. Martin lmao

💀 there was one, and I regretted it so much I took it off Ao3. It was written when I was still very new to… well, not the fandom, I’ve been watching Stranger Things since it came out… but the weird social media side of the fandom, I guess? The side where all the ugly ship wars lurk. I had written a little one shot about Steve having an extremely one-sided crush on Eddie and feeling jealous of Chrissy. Then like a week later I discovered the Steddie vs Hellcheer war and thought oh crap, I better delete that one… and now you know my dirty little secret. 😜

also liam can't really make anyone queen... well, they'll be a queen in his book of course. and there's always AUs. we love AUs. 🕶️

[littlemisswolfiesims]

And with that, the decade, as well as the story of the family that began with Matthias and Madeleine Presley, draws to a close.

-

This is kinda bittersweet. My first Decades Challenge post was on June 30, 2020, and it’s finally ending.

For a while, I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to play through the 2010s, because I was getting bored. But then I fell in love with Victor and knew I had to see his story through. Then, with his generation, I downloaded some new mods, which is where Lilo and Clay’s story came from. It wasn’t what I was expecting, but I hope I did it justice.

Thank you for reading the Presley Legacy. I won’t delete the save, so maybe in a few months, if anyone wants it, I can write up a little epilogue detailing Lilo and Clay’s life a few years down the line.

Love you all! 😘

Aujourd’hui, lundi 22/07/24, une journée sans Journée qui va ravir celles et ceux qui ne les aiment pas, qu’elles soient locales, territoriales, nationales, européennes, internationales ou mondiales 😎 Pour les autres, promis, il y a deux journées mondiales demain 👌

Soirée jeux gratuite sur la terrasse de la MJC des Romains ce lundi 22 juillet 2024 de 19h à 23h : participez en famille, enfants bienvenus dès 6 ans, ou entre amis à une soirée jeux dans une ambiance conviviale et profitez d'un moment privilégié pour découvrir de nouveaux jeux 🎲

L’opération Vital’été a repris du service dans la cité lacustre le lundi 8 juillet (jusqu’au samedi 24/08/24) : aujourd’hui (lundi 22 juillet), aïkido, karaté, marche nordique ou randonnée pédestre, tennis et “Savoir rouler à vélo en sécurité” 👌 Activités gratuites, profitez-en 🤩

Qualité de l’air à Annecy (indices ATMO) : avec un ciel plus dégagé et des températures à la hausse, la formation d’ozone sera un peu plus active 🌡 La qualité de l’air devrait être moyenne à dégradée 💨

L’indice de risque pollinique dans la cité lacustre est moyen, au niveau 2 en ce qui concerne les graminées (indice communal valable du 20 au vendredi 26/07/2024 inclus) 🤧 Personnes allergiques : évitez les activités physiques intenses à l’extérieur (parcs, jardins, etc.) 😷

Tout comme hier, trois dictons du jour pour le prix de deux : « Si le 22 juillet soufflent les vents, ils emportent les figues avec leurs dents. » 🦷 « De la sainte Madeleine à la mi-août, l’épi mûrit la nuit comme le jour. » 🌾 « La sainte Madeleine, belle moisson amène. » 🧑‍🌾

Et quatre autres dictons du jour pour la route : « À la sainte Madeleine, cueille ton chanvre. S’il n’est pas bon, donne-lui une semaine. » 🌿 « À la sainte Madeleine : la faucille à l’avoine, la noisette quitte sa gaine et on commence à revoir les bécassines. » 🐦

Adorant la concaténation, j’ai créé un dicton annécien, “gallicéen”, savoyard, mondial : « À la sainte Madeleine, les bogues piquent, l’amande et la noix sont pleines, la noisette bonne à manger, le blé épié, le raisin coloré, la figue mûre, le blé au grenier, la paille au pailler. » 😍

Pour celles et ceux qui aiment la pluie : « S’il pleut à la sainte Madeleine, il pleuvra plusieurs jours de suite et/ou il faut six semaines pour calmer sa peine. » 🌧 « S'il pleut à la sainte Madeleine, la figue est fort en peine et on voit pourrir noix et châtaignes. » ☔

Je vous souhaite une très bonne journée annécienne et un très bel été à Annecy, dans les 33 autres communes du Grand Annecy ou ailleurs 🏖️

Bonne fête aux Marie-Madeleine, aux Madeleine et demain aux Brigitte 😘

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bon premier jour de la semaine à tous et à toutes ⭐️

[themistressdomme]

Emery: -😊 Would my muse ever ask someone on a date?: Yep! -💔 What was my muse’s first heartbreak?: She hasn't really had heartbreaks of her own. She has had a tendency in the past to leave relationships before she can get hurt because she's terrified of someone else hurting her.

“I should have known that I was in way over my head. The signs were all there.” Riley spoke between sobs.

😭😭😭😭😭

Riley had an epiphany.

*GASP*

Even though he constantly had people around him; Regina, Leo, his guards, nobles, his friends. But never her.

I wanna hug him 🥹

And now, after all the years, his guilt still consumed him.

STOPPPP IIIIITTTTTTTTTT HES SO SAD AND I CANT HANDLE IT 😭

“You know, Madeleine, I think I have seen enough of you for this evening. Please go away and do whatever you do in the evening.”

Get her, Liam!

At least once a month, Madeleine tried to persuade Liam to sleep with her, but to no avail.

EW BARF GROSS FUCK NO 🤮

"Madeleine, it is a generous offer, but there is no way in hell I want to spend my evening with you. I have plans. Not that it is any of your business. I am spending time with friends tonight.” 

Bye, bitch!! ✌️✌️

“Li Li, come to mommy, sweetheart.” 

LI LI 😭😭😭😍😍😍😭😭😭😍😍😍

“Yes, that’s right, Drake and Maxwell. I need you to contact Maxwell.”

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! IM SO EXCITED!!!

Chapter Summary: While remembering bittersweet memories of her time in Cordonia, Riley comes to the realization that there are still unanswered questions to pursue from the night of the Coronation Ball.

A/N: My submission for @choicesflashfics, Week #41, Prompt #1, “You make me feel like I’m worth it.”

Music Inspiration: Far Side of the World, Holden Miller, The Way We Were, Lucy Thomas

A/N2: In this alternate universe, after King Constantine orchestrates two individual scandals to humiliate and entrap Riley Brooks and Olivia Nevrakis in shame, Madeleine Amaranth secures her position as the Queen of Cordonia. Riley, as the King’s mistress and Olivia, in self-imposed exile. Tariq is never found.

“...I can’t do this anymore.” Riley answered softly.

Daniel’s heart broke in two as he looked at his dear friend. Her tear-stained cheeks and red-rimmed eyes told him everything that he needed to know.

“It’s okay, Riley,” Daniel said. “It’s not your fault. You were put in a difficult position.”

Her bottom lip trembling; those words spoken, was all it took for her to break down.

…. Remembering the day she danced with her prince at the Coronation Ball, and he said,

‘I hope you never have cause to regret coming here.’

‘Why would you say that?’

‘Well, so much has happened, and...’

As the song winds down, Prince Liam’s hands linger on her waist, his eyes searching hers.

‘I need to talk to you.’

‘Is something wrong?’

***

Wrapping his arm around her shoulders Daniel pulled her close to his chest, breaking the memory.

“I should have known that I was in way over my head. The signs were all there.” Riley spoke between sobs.

“This situation is so fucked up. Falling in love with a man from across the ocean, whose duty to his country dictates his future. Whose life is not his own. His world is so foreign to you. A world unavailable to....”

Riley took a deep breath and met his gaze.

“Stop. Just stop. ...Please.”

“Mommy?” “Dan Dan?” A little voice called out.

Daniel looked over at Riley’s son, walking with his pail towards the sandcastle that they had all made together.

“Hey, buddy, what do you have in your pail?”

“Fo howse,” he pointed to the sandcastle.

“One sec, Ri. I will be right back.” Daniel kissed Riley’s forehead quickly and walked towards the little boy.

Riley closed her eyes, continuing to remember the words Liam spoke to her the night they visited the Statue of Liberty.

‘...but I’ve always known that my role would require me to give up much of what I desire.’

‘You’re the prince. Can't you do what you want, at least some of the time?’

‘If only. My whole life I’ve prepared myself to do what’s best for Cordonia.’

Looking at her son. Looking at Liam’s son.

Riley had an epiphany.

***

The royal council meeting lasted well into the evening. It was almost 9:30 pm when the last council member left the boardroom at the palace. Liam stood up from his chair and started to walk down the long hallway to his study. His plans for the rest of the evening included shooting hoops with Drake and a stop at the beer garden later to wind down. Pouring himself a finger of Scotch he sat down at his desk and reclined his chair. Pulling out his phone, he checked for any missed messages or calls, but nothing of interest was received. The one and only person he wanted to desperately hear from still eluded him.

Three years ago.

The love of his life.

Walked away from him.

Three years of being alone.

Even though he constantly had people around him; Regina, Leo, his guards, nobles, his friends. But never her.

 He would never blame her for walking away. The situation was. Is. So very unfair to her. So undeserved.

And if he was being honest with himself. Very unfair to him. His entire life, he was groomed to serve the Cordonian people and the monarchy. To fulfill ‘his duty’ to Cordonia, without question.

When Riley captured his heart that fateful night in New York, he felt the walls of duty surrounding him start to crumble.

When Riley followed him to the masquerade ball to join the social season, his world shifted in its axis. Thinking that he would never see Riley again, he was given the best surprise. Just to think that she travelled all the way from New York City to be with him.

‘I know we have something special. I want to see what it can be.’

And now, after all the years, his guilt still consumed him.

How he wished he could find out how she was. To make sure she's OK. Hopefully. She moved on with her life. Tears welled in his eyes. He missed Riley. Every day he thought about her and wondered where she was. He missed her voice. He missed her smile.

He remembered everything, and could forget, nothing.

Wanting to relax he stretched his legs and reclined his chair more. His eyes drifted shut and he was almost asleep when he heard a knock on the door.

“Come.” Liam called out in response.

Opening his eyes, he saw Madeleine scowling down at him.

Liam grinned at the thought. It had to be her. No one else would have been able to make such an impression on his guards, to let her in without his permission.

“You know, Madeleine, I think I have seen enough of you for this evening. Please go away and do whatever you do in the evening.”

Liam was well aware that Madeleine kept her own Cordonian arrangement with a dignitary from Morocco. He was in the capital this evening on business, planning to rendezvous with her tonight.

“You know Liam, I am not a child. I understand that you are in a position of authority, and I know that you cannot spend all your time with me.”

“I do need you to come to my chambers and spend the evening with me.” She stood waiting for his answer as Liam felt her gaze burning through him.

At least once a month, Madeleine tried to persuade Liam to sleep with her, but to no avail.

Tonight, was no exception.

“You have not answered my question. Are you coming to my chambers or not?”

“Madeleine, it is a generous offer, but there is no way in hell I want to spend my evening with you. I have plans. Not that it is any of your business. I am spending time with friends tonight.”

“Do you realize, Liam, we have been married for almost four years now and yet no heir. How long will this last? Our people are waiting for news!”

“Isn’t Eduardo waiting for you, Madeleine?” Liam scoffed.

“You will not even touch me. For as long as I see fit, at the very least he pays attention to me. How long will you wait for Riley to magically reappear? She left you Liam. She left you high and dry. She could not handle it. Stop embarrassing yourself, Liam. This country wants an heir. It is our duty to supply one.”

There was a short knock on the door and Drake popped his head through the doorway.

“Li, my apologies for interrupting.” Drake gave Liam a ‘knowing look’.

“Queen Madeleine.”

 Liam stood up from his desk, glowering at Madeleine and turned towards his bar cart. Picking up a bottle of Macallen, “Drake, my man, come have a drink with me. This one is leaving.”

Madeleine ‘glared daggers’ at Liam as she watched him pour whiskey into two lowball glasses, Huffing, she turned around and walked out of his study, not acknowledging Drake. Drake raised an eyebrow, “was I interrupting something important?”

“Hell, no.” Liam shot back his drink and slammed the glass onto his desk.

“Let's play some ball.”

“I need to ask a favor of you, Daniel.” Riley called out.

“Anything, Ri, of course,” Daniel replied.

Standing up from the sand he reached down and scooped up Riley's son into his arms. Walking towards her, Riley smiled as she held out her arms.

 “Li Li, come to mommy, sweetheart.”

That is all it took for the giggles to start. William squealed and successfully wrangled out of Daniel’s grasp to get to his mom.

Shaking his head, “this kid will kick my butt one day!”

“What's up, Riley?”

Taking a deep breath, “well, remember that certain table that you asked me to serve the night before I left for Cordonia?” Riley sheepishly looked at her friend.

“How could I forget?” Daniel raised his eyebrow in question.

“Yes, well....”

Riley looked down, not able to meet his eyes.

 “Remember, there were four men. Liam, of course, was one. Tariq, as well, was there.”

“Oh yes and I remember there were two others with them.”

 “Yes, that’s right, Drake and Maxwell. I need you to contact Maxwell.”

“OK, Riley. Sure, that sounds easy enough. I remember that I still owe you a favor for looking after that table that night for me.”

Riley smirked at the look of horror that suddenly fell on his face for saying that aloud.

“Anything Riley.... What is his address?”

“Actually, I need you to call him.”

“OK, call him. ...and what do you want me to say?”

“I need you to ask him to come here. to New York City.”

 “Riley. Are you sure that's a good idea? Won't he tell Liam your whereabouts? Aren't you concerned?”

“Daniel, I am going to ask Maxwell, as my friend. To help me get some answers. But first I need to talk to Maxwell and explain everything to him in person. He needs to come here alone. And I need you to sell that reason to him to come alone, and not to bring anyone with him. Could you do that for me?"

Daniel paused. Looking at his dear friend. “Yes,” he said begrudgingly.

“I sure hope you know what you're doing.”

“So do I, Daniel. So, do I.”

“For you and this little one, I want nothing but happiness from now on. You deserve the world.”

“Thank you, Daniel...for everything.

“You make me feel like I’m worth it.”
