THE MORRIGAN

WHO IS SHE?

The Morrigan is a triple goddess from Irish mythology who is associated with war, fate, and sovereignty. According to myth, she is often depicted as a crow or raven, and is said to appear in both a positive and negative guise, sometimes as a nurturing mother and other times as a destructive force. She is said to be the phantom queen of the Danaan People, the ancestral spirits of Ireland, and is sometimes depicted as a powerful seer or prophetic figure.

BASIC INFO:

She is also commonly associated with a black crow, which is said to be her messenger and the vessel of her power. Her appearance is usually associated with darkness and mystery, embodying the enigma and unpredictability of war and fate.

Personality: she has a complex and multi-faceted personality, often embodying multiple aspects of femininity. She is said to encompass aspects of the traditional maiden, mother, and crone archetypes, representing youthful zeal, maternal nurturing, and wise counsel, respectively. She is also known for her vengeful and bloodthirsty streak, embodying the brutal and ruthless nature of war and the chaos of fate. Despite her fierce and sometimes fearsome reputation, she is also viewed as a powerful protector and defender of the Irish people.

MISC:

Crows and ravens: the Morrigan is often associated with crows or ravens due to her nature as a deity of death, fate, and transformation. In Irish mythology, crows or ravens were often seen as messengers between the worlds of the living and the dead, and could be seen as omens of impending change or transformation. For the Morrigan, these birds served as her messengers and helped her carry out her duties as a deity of war, fate, and the supernatural. Additionally, the Morrigan herself was sometimes depicted as a crow or raven in the form of a woman.

Death: she is often associated with death because she is seen as a deity of fate and transformation, which can include death and rebirth. In Irish mythology, she is often depicted as a battle goddess who wields a spear or sword, and is seen as a bringer of violence and change. She is also associated with the concept of death as a natural and inevitable part of life, and is sometimes seen as a guide for the souls of the dead as they cross over to the afterlife.

War: in Irish mythology, she was often seen as a fierce and powerful warrior, who would appear in the form of a crow or raven to guide and aid the soldiers of the Tuatha de Danann, a group of gods and mythological beings. She was often invoked by soldiers in order to bring them victory in battle and could also be seen as a symbol of the chaos and destruction that can occur during war.

Triple goddess: she is often associated with the triple goddess archetype due to her connection with the number three and her role as a goddess of transformation and female empowerment. In Celtic mythology, the number three was often seen as sacred and powerful, and the Morrigan is sometimes depicted as embodying these three aspects of femininity: maiden, mother, and crone. This association reflects her nature as a powerful and multifaceted deity who encompasses the different phases of a woman's life, from youth and fertility to wisdom and maturity.

Samhain: in Celtic mythology, Samhain is believed to be a time when the boundary between the world of the living and the world of the dead becomes thin, allowing the spirits of the deceased to return to the world of the living. The Morrigan, as a goddess of death and transformation, is seen as playing an important role during this time, guiding and assisting the souls of the dead on their journey to the afterlife.

Magic: was seen as a powerful force that could wield the energy and power of these natural forces, and the Morrigan was often invoked as a source of magical power and insight during certain rituals and spells. Additionally, the Morrigan is sometimes depicted as a sorcerous figure in some myths, casting spells or curses and using her supernatural abilities to influence events on the mortal plane.

FACTS ABOUT THE MORRIGAN:

She owns a herd of enchanted and magical cattle. 

Contrary to some interpretations, the Morrigan is not necessarily seen as an evil or destructive deity. In many myths, she is depicted as a protective and wise figure who aids and guides heroes on their journeys.

She is sometimes portrayed as a shape-shifter, able to take on the form of a crow or other animals.

The Morrigan is often associated with the number three, representing the three aspects of maiden, mother, and crone.

She is also associated with the Fae and the Banshee—a creature that generally takes on the form of an old woman who wails in mourning to announce the coming death of someone in the family.

The name "Morrigan" comes from Old Irish and means "phantom queen" or "great queen."

She is often associated with ravens or crows, which were seen as her messengers between the worlds of the living and the dead.

The Morrigan is known for appearing in the form of a woman with long, flowing hair, sometimes carrying a spear and/or a shield.

'Brucie usually sends a Good morning text between 6:33am and 6:37am….. and Olie has not send anything either… maybe im just overthinking stuff?' he tries to shrug off that anomaly in his daily routine as he gets out of his luxurios silk sheets to his incredible marble floor bathroom, and as he does his skin care routine he decides to call his son. (because even to he made him for a bad cause he grew a tiny littble bit attached)

A very happy Duke said as he takes some pancakes and brings them to the table, some slight footsteps can be heard coming to the kitchen and cass peaks her head in and waves a hand to Alfred to ask for Bruce "🫵🏻👀👉🏻👨🏻❓" she signs kinda sloppily cause she just woke up from the heavy night patrol "I haven't seen him jest Miss Cain, he's probably stil in his room either sleeping or just brooding" she nods and heads into the kitchen to make herself a starwberry protein milkshake or something

The assistance says with a half sad whine, everyone at the office loves Brucie Wayne, even tho he looks and acts like a bimbo everyone in the office knows he is very much intelligent an talented, if he wasn't he wouldn't be able to keep up with the great company he has!

• Metropolis, Monday/March/06/2025, 6:52 AM, 8 minutes before the disaster

"is the world ending???" Luthor says outloud as he stares at his phone screen, the text chat is still empty with No Bruce message, so he decides to do the most obvious call. "Hey, Olie….. have you heard about Bruce??? he hasn't send his perfectly timed morning message with the stupidly bad grammar- You noticed it too? oh yeah no, i haven't seen him, i was gonna ask if you have seen him- yeah uhm i can check that too, tell me if you know something" luthors hand goes to his mouth as he thinks…. "Maybe he fell into a Fountain??? nono- gotham news would already have posted something-!!! RIGHT maybe he's on one of those crazy yatch parties- ill check on that"

People may not know it but Luther has a soft spot on his childhood best friends, and he has a very strict routine during the entire day that started WAY back in the early days of that Boarding school where he met those two idiots, the blond and a bit obnoxius one and the broodie black haired one that looked that he would jump you at any second.

• Justice League Watch Tower, Monday/March/06/2025, 6:53 AM, 7 minutes before the disaster.

"What was the call about Dear?" Black Canary asks curiosly "……..Bruce seems to be unpresent? like he's never late to anything……." Green Arrow or also known as Oliver Queen says to his dear wife as he is definately confused at whats going on "Uhm perhaps a call to Alfred would apease you?" Dinah says uncertain and kinda laughing at her husband obvious worry (he claims he does not worry at all) "Maybe…… but also he may be only running late you know?" oliver ends the conversation at that as he takes his wifes hand in his.

"Okay but really. where is bruce, he never misses Alfred's Breakfast" Steph says with her mouth full of pancakes "True. maybe he already went to W.E????" Dick says as he plays with the fruitloops he put on his food

"…….Pennyworth does my pancakes have-" Damian gets cut of "They have no dairy milk nor eggs, is almod milk fine with you?" the butler asks with a faint smile "yeah" damian says as he takes a bite of the pancakes, they are good but not as near as good at his father makes them or well thats what Damian thinks, running footsteps can be heard through the hallway, and the kitchen is loudly entered by the other only missing family member "OH MY GOD BRUCE IM SO SORRY I DIDDNT APPEAR I SWEAR I'VE BEEN SLEEPING, I ATE IM F-Fineeeee, i just fEel AslEEP on a RoofTop! NAD FORGOT TO TEXT!!! OSHDBSAFBGQASKFBKFBADVAFBAKJ PLS DONT CRASH OUTTTTTT" a exasperated and out of breath Tim says coughing and with a face that resembled Deer under car lights, he has this worried expression as if Bruce would jusr crash out from not knowing where one of his sons are (HE WOULD AND HE WILL) "……………." a biss ass silence takes hold onto everyone on the Kitchen even Tim that know feels kinda embarrassed

"Drake with all due respect, what the hell?" Damian says with a weird out face as he munches on the pancakes "Dude are you okay" stephanie says as the passes him a plate with pancakes "wheres Bruc- wait no what time is it?" Tim asks half dishoriented "6:54:29 seconds why" Dick answers "Okay so bruce is in W.E I'll just grab his stuff and-" Tim says as he starts to turn around "Master Wayne hasn't left the house, his car is still in the garage" Alfred says as if he's used to this "He took a day off?" the second best detective asks as his brain starts to work on this anomaly in Bruces behavior "But today is the first monday of the month" Tim mumbles to himself as he takes the entire pancake and brings it to his mouth eating it in one sole bite "Im going to the batcave" Tim declares and does not wait for an answer "Is he okay?" Duke wonders out loud as a fast shadow decides to follow tim onto.

• Paris-France, Monday/March/06/2025, 6:55 AM, 5 minutes before the Disaster

"DADDY!!!!!" the girl runs towards her fathers arms and jump towards him making the man drop a bag he was carrying just to catch his daughter and spin her around as she starts to laugh, Bruce's eyes cant help but tear up a bit, when was the last time any other of his children missed him this much, but this isnt about them, its about you two "I missed you SO MUCH!" you cant help but shake him a bit "Ohhhh I cant waiiit to tell you what have i done! and what i've been seeing at school!!!" nothing could make this worse nor better right? "…..papa….. how much are you staying for?" you cant help but ask always hoping that he'll say that he will saty with you forever, you sometimes dont like the fact that you are 'hidden' "…im having…. a Staycacion" he says wity a smile "………Stay-cacion?…….AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH YOUR STAYING!?" you screamed very much loudly and exited that you can't help when you bursted into happy tears and hugged him and staining the shoulder of his jacket not like he cared, stains can be washed, stuff can be cleaned, but moments and memories??? they cannot be replaced.

None of you get to call me Harv-ey. none of you. there was only one person that call me that and im not seeing them." Two-Face said with an unmatched irritation, perhabs he's worried? no! ofcourse not, he is a well known villian that was gonna kidnap the richest man in the country and definately not because he was his bestfriend or that when they kidnap him this bimbo of a man takes this time to sleep and its the most relaxed he's seen him in a while ofcourse not (he definately knows he's tired af from being batman and not sleeping more than 3 hours a day).

• Wayne Manor, Monday/March/06/2025, 6:58 AM, 2 minutes before the Disaster

light and calm steps can be heard through the halls and they go to a stop infront of the master bedroom of the manor, the alluring and very exquisite scent of a meal can be smelled from miles away.

knock knock knock

"Master Bruce. are you awake?……. perhaps your feeling unwell my child" Alfreds voice softened at the silence, he knows how Bruce can get when he's being gloomy and angsty "Please open the door my son, you need to eat, you haven't had a proper meal in 2 days and your protein shakes do not count, i please beg you stop acting like a child and have some proper nutricional food" the old butler can help but be a bit stern in his voice and his worry for the man he's raised for over more than 30 years …… "Master bruce? has something happen?" before alfred can do anything else two pair of steps alert him "Pennyworth? has my father already came out of the room?" The youngest wayne asks with one of his pets following him "Not yet, do you want to help me out Master Damian?" the butler recieves a happy nod, the green eyed child is more than pleased to help wake his father up, his father has been there for him since he entered thos household, the least he could do is try and help him when he isn't feeling well.

• Batcave, Monday/March/06/2025, 6:59 AM, 1 minutes before the Disaster

"ejem- ejem- Father, are you in there?" Damian tried to keep his voice the most steady as possible but still no asnwer…. so he decides other aproach as he slightly eyes the butler and then grabs all the possible bravery and takes the handle in his hand and twist it opening the door and stepping in "Baba i request you stop ignoring Alfred and I- B-baba??" but there is no one to be found in the room they fully walk in to see Bruce's closet half closed, most of his daily shirts are goneand so are most of his shoes and jackets and the fur jackets, but thats okay until he checks the drawer where Bruce keeps the stuff his children give him…. and its empty… His father keft them "D-did he? did he-"

"…."

"Master Damian, please do not alarm yourself"

06 seconds before the Crashout

"H-hey Damian, how- how are you doing?" Dick asks as he kneels infront of the kid that looks that is about to combust on the spot, he tries to stay as calm as he can to not startle the child

05 seconds before the crashout

Are they taking him for an idiot? why is Grayson treating him like a kicked puppy, he's fine. he is totally okay, definatelly not worried……

04 seconds before the crashout

He is okay, he can handle his emotions, this is a trick!, a TEST, thats right! just a test to see if he can do stuff alone and without help! definately because he wouldn't have left him right?

03 seconds before the crashout

he wouldn't left him. he promised he wouldn't and his father never lies, right? RIGHT?, he woudn't do what his mother did to him. he promised, he swore under that candle. He signed the papers where it says that he is his father, so is he not here? why did he left his stuff, but he wouldnt do that right? he would do it again, like the timestream incident?

02 seconds before the crashout

maybe what his grandfather told him was right, Bruce wouldn't want him, perhaps this is his karma for failing his 'rightfuk destiny' maybe he did something wrong?

01 Seconds before the Crashout

"Master Damian, please stop this in this moment, it's not time for a tantr-" Alfreds voice gets cut off and Dick cant help but actually get freaked out, Tim hears ot, Cassandra hears it, Duke, Barbara, Stephanie, Jason who was entering through the window of his old childhood room, Connor who was eating his breakfast in Kansas, Jon who is in his school trip first hears the heartbeat spike abnormaly and is ready to ditch the class in that instant and perhaps even the half unconsious Superman hear the bloody screathing banshee scream that goes out of Damian's throat

00 seconds before the crashout

"BABA!"

Bruce stops suddenly from walking "Are you okay papa?" You can't help but ask kinda worried "Did you heard that????" he asks you also confused, he feels his chest tingling in a weird way that he wasn't felt in a while, at least not since Tim brought him back from the timestream and kinda lunged into his arms crying "I didn't heard anything dad" you asnwer him more softly tryung to appease hus sudden frown "ehhh… Must have been the wind then" he says now more calm as you and him walk hand in hand out of the air port and towards a [F/C] Porsche convertible with a custom plate that says [INSERT THE MOST BADASS WORD YOU KNOW], "m'kay papa lets go!" you say with such happiness and such bright smile that you could challenge even the sun in who was brighter the Sun or You (obviosly you would win) "Yeah, Lets go home" Bruce says with the softest laugh that you have ever heard, he helps you in your own car into the passanger seat even tho you were gonna drive, how could he let his child drive him let him help you please, you can only smile at the fact that he is trying his best to be a more than a good dad, what can you say? Your love your father very much.

Hello Tumblr and fellow mutuals! So recently I've gotten the money for a vehicle. But I haven't been able to find one because I have no resources. (Such as Facebook and Instagram.) If anyone is selling a car around Cheyenne Wyoming, please let me know! I need the help. Thanks for the help!

The Innocent

Draco x Reader

The Case The Defendant The Witness

The Auror The Confession The Deceased

The Verdict

Summary: The day in court is finally here... for better or worse.

A/n: I was going to make this realistic... but then I thought to hell with that. This is fiction which means good prevails and love wins so screw reality. I'd like to personally dedicate this one to @drcelly love you

I paced back and forth on that marble floor. Draco was in Dr. Dresden’s office for over an hour with the Minister of Magic and a few other high ranking officials, as well as Pansy Parkinson, who was now the CEO of The Prophet. 

Anxiety clawed its way up my throat. All of this was going to go horribly wrong. I would lose my future. I would lose the case. Draco would lose his son. And I would lose Draco. Perfect destruction all laid out in front of me and it was all my fault. 

The door opened. My eyes flashed up. My heart hammered in my chest. Dr. Dresden appeared, gave me a tight look but nodded before heading on his way. Then the Minister left, giving me a small smile. Then other nameless officials. None of them said a word. Pansy left the office, still scribbling down notes while also being on a mobile fire call. 

Finally Draco appeared. All of my hopes were reading his facial expressions. 

The door clicked closed behind him. 

His face was solemn. 

My heart sank. 

He held out his hand for me to shake. 

Chewing on my lip, I reached out and he firmly grasped my hand in his. 

“I’ll see you in court on Tuesday, Ms. Public Defender,” A smile curled onto his face. 

I choked out a laugh. Tears pricked my eyes. I dropped his hand and threw my arms around his neck. Draco held me close. 

“Thank you,” I was crying. “Thank you, Draco.” 

“You deserve this Y/n. I’ve never seen anyone work harder to prove my innocence and I want you there with me,” 

We were face to face, threads of hope tying us together. 

“How—how did you even…?” 

“Don’t worry about it,” Draco smiled warmly. “It’s going to be okay. I wasn’t going to let anyone do that to you,” 

“But Dresden…” 

“Will keep his mouth shut if he knows what’s good for him.” Draco said cooly. 

“Are you blackmailing him?” 

“No darling,” Draco laughed softly. “But Pansy is the head of The Prophet and if he wants to go through with what he tried to pull on you—it will be headlining the papers for weeks to come,” 

“So we did it?” I dared to hope. 

“Well, you still have a case to win,” Draco said, amused. “But, yes I suppose we did.” 

“Thank you,” I said earnestly, hugging him again. 

“No thank you,” He said. “You are the only person who ever convinced me that I was innocent.” 

“You are,” I said. “And soon the whole world is going to know it.” Before I got lost too far in his eyes, I recovered. “I’ll… I’ll be over Monday evening? To tie up any loose ends before the case.” 

“As you wish,” Draco bowed his head and turned to leave. I stood there, watching him go, warmth spreading through my chest. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was nearing ten o’clock at night. Almost everything had been combed through and knit-picked. I thought we were done, and God I wanted to be. I could barely keep my thoughts on track. Draco’s study was so cozy and peaceful, with the fire going and soft music coming from who knows where. Even Draco looked half asleep sitting at his desk in a cardigan and loafers. My heels were long forgotten as I stood on the plush carpets in my stockings. 

Rifling through my notes, I found a page of questions I had written for myself. It was the first time I ever talked over the case with Draco. It seemed like forever ago. My brows furrowed. 

“What?” Draco asked, perking up. 

“Nothing,” I shook my head. “Just some notes. It’s nothing,” 

“You’re worrying,” Draco mused getting up. “Really what is it?” 

“Nothing… just a question from that first day,” A shrug fell off my shoulders. “I was asking about Harry and the Death-Eaters at the Manor that Easter.” 

“I didn’t tell them it was Potter,” Draco recalled. 

“No,” I agreed. “And you were so kind to Luna,” My fingers drifted over her witness statement. 

“Yes,” Draco admitted, “Is it important to the case?” 

I turned to look at him. “It’s important to me,” 

Draco came over, peering over my shoulder at my hand scribbled notes. He was so close I could feel his warmth. I tensed, my breath catching. Draco took the page from my fingers and read it over. I turned leaning against the ornate mahogany table. 

HIs eyes met mine. 

“I knew Potter could end the war.” He said, his eyes years away. His shoulders rose and fell with a deep breath. “I wanted to be free. I—I didn’t want to be what they wanted me to be,”  

“You’re not,” I said softly, taking my note from his hands. “And tomorrow I’m gonna prove it.” 

His grey eyes held such joy as he looked at me. His eyes flickered down to my lips and suddenly he was very close and I was too tired to make rational choices. I backed away and he did too. 

“I—it… it’s late,” I stammered. “I—I should go,” 

He didn’t say anything but gave a nod. I gathered everything as magic aided it back into my bag. I could feel the redness on my face, and I could see it on his. Every step I took felt as if I was being pulled back by invisible string. 

“Goodnight Draco,” 

“Goodnight Y/n.” 

As I laid in bed that night it wasn’t the worry of the case that weighed on my mind; it was Draco and his warm grey eyes and kind smile that held me as I found sleep. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And before the Minister, a jury of our peers, witnesses, and those overzealous to see what came of this case, I acquitted Draco Malfoy. 

When the gavel hit the wood and his innocence rang loudly, the room erupted with applause and sounds of wonder. Scorpius’ cheers’ were louder than the rest. I couldn’t help it, and neither could Draco, as we hugged again. He spun me around before setting me down again. Scorpius interrupted us, and I had never seen Draco so happy, holding his son. 

He was free. 

They both were. 

I smile stayed on my face as Scorpius came over and gave me a hug. I knelt down and gave him a proper hug. Over the little boy’s shoulder I looked up and saw Draco gazing down at us. Some weird flickered in my chest. Letting Scorpius go, I stood. Draco closed the distance between he and I, taking Scorpius to his side. Draco’s hand wrapped around my waist as his other let go of his son to cradle my face and pull it to his. Draco kissed me. Something soft and sweet. 

And innocent.

[takaraphoenix]

my brain: you should write 'there's only one bed' but with Stalion

me: ...how could I make that work in universe/good Alpha Pack canon divergence?

my brain: Good Alpha Pack that works for the Magic Council + Magic Council convention + Stiles working for the Magic Council too + Stalion room sharing because overbooking?

me: oh, okay, that could work. That could be a fun, short <5k Mischief Monday oneshot!!

The Overbooked Council Convention, currently at 6.5k: they barely had dinner and have, in fact, not shared the one bed yet

me: ...

me: ...what did I expect, that's one of my favorite angsty tropes and I am currently obsessed with this ship. Let's yeet that onto a Wednesday slot instead, December 11th...

--

(and so you won't have to just read my frustrated conversations with myself and my uncooperative documents, have a little sneak peek too~)

--

Stiles groaned softly to himself, his palms pressed against the cold marble of the counter in front of him, trying to keep himself from just sagging down onto the ground in frustration. He wanted to keep a bare minimum of dignity for however long he could. But after the fifteen hour drive he just had, everything in him ached and was cold, because of course did Roscoe’s heating break down in the middle of a cold autumn, of course it did. He’d been looking forward to reaching the hotel and to a hot bath and a warm bed for the past fourteen and a half hours, really.

Now that he was finally here, finally ready to check in and give himself to luxury and comfort at the cost of his employer, he was told that the hotel was overbooked. Overbooked. Because, apparently, the fucking Magic Council of North America couldn’t be bothered to make sure just how many Emissaries, Alpha Packs and other representatives and agents it invited to this meeting and how many rooms they’d need. And thanks to one too many breakdowns of Roscoe on the way here, Stiles was so late they had no available rooms anymore.

The receptionist looked ready to burst into tears. “I am truly so sorry, sir.”

Frowning at being called ‘sir’, Stiles rubbed his forehead. “It’s not your fault. I fully blame the council. Incompetent bureaucrats who only sit on their asses-“

“You know, you should not let the council hear you talk about them like that or you may no longer have a need for a room anyway, Stiles.”

Pausing in his frustrated face-rubbing, Stiles turned around. Near immediately did his face brighten when he looked at the redhead who’d spoken and the identical redhead right next to him.

“Ethan! Aiden!” Stiles couldn’t help the laughter bubbling in his chest as he practically threw himself at the two Alphas. “Oh, I haven’t seen you guys in years! I mean, in theory, I was aware that your pack would be here, because apparently fucking everyone is here, but, you know, it hadn’t consciously crossed my mind? It’s good to see you.”

A genuine smile spread over his lips when the twins hugged him back and each ran a hand slowly down his arms, scent-marking him. When was the last time he’d been scent-marked by a wolf? The happy warm feeling twisted into a sad, lonely kind of longing. He may not be a wolf himself, but he’d spent too much time of his life with wolf packs, he guessed.

“You grew up, pup,” Ennis said with a grin, ruffling Stiles’ hair roughly. “Still a twig though.”

“That’s called a twink and I am proud of it,” Stiles stuck his tongue out at the large Alpha.

The man laughed, a deep and rich sound that brought the smile back on Stiles’ lips. Kali next to him stepped up to also run a hand down Stiles’ arm, a pleased look on her face.

“My favorite student,” Marin’s voice held fond teasing. “How have you been, Stiles?”

Stiles’ heart jumped when he saw his former mentor and he practically buried himself in her arms. Deaton may have first discovered his Spark but the man had been unwilling to teach Stiles, to tell him more than the fact that he had a Spark. Stiles had wasted precious months. He would have been able to help so much better, may have even gotten himself, Erica and Boyd out of that damn basement all on his own, if he would have received even just a baseline level of magic training.

And then the Blackwood Pack rolled into town to evaluate the Hale Pack and see how Derek was faring as a young, new Alpha and with them came an actually helpful druid who was willing to teach Stiles all about magic. Or at least all she could teach him, what with her not being a Spark. Still, even Sparks could use spells, potions and rituals, needed to learn how to focus and channel magic, and all of that were things that Marin had been able to teach him.

While the Blackwood Pack had stayed in Beacon Hills, Stiles had spent nearly every afternoon at their apartment to study under Marin. Out of everyone in Beacon Hills, he had spent the most time with the Alpha Pack and thus grown the fondest of them, had befriended them.

The Alpha Pack helped Derek grow into the Alpha Stiles had always hoped he could be, helped him reconcile with Boyd and Erica, who’d chosen to stay in Beacon Hills after their little abduction and torture session. They also reunited Derek with his little sister Cora, who had been placed in foster care in another pack, because Laura had been too young and too overwhelmed to take on the responsibility of being Alpha and raising both a teenager and a little child.

The Alpha Pack had also helped them out with their Darach problem that popped up at the same time. Sadly, once the Darach was taken care of and the Hale Pack was stable enough, they left Beacon Hills again. That had been five years ago and though he hadn’t seen them since, and though they had only been a part of Stiles’ life for half a year, Stiles felt a warm giddiness at seeing them.

“I see you’ve fallen victim to the Magic Council’s impeccable managements, darling boy.”

Stiles’ heart stumbled a little and he couldn’t fight the shudder that ran down his spine at that delicious British accent and that pet-name that meant absolutely nothing because Deucalion was just being very British but it still did a lot to Stiles. Even after all these years. Oh, he’d had the biggest crush – maybe more, but Stiles had actively tried not to think about that back then and was definitely not going to start thinking about it now – on Deucalion Blackwood. The Alpha of Alphas. A title well-deserved. Turning a little, Stiles came face to face with the man and if possible, Deucalion looked even more handsome than the last time Stiles had seen him. Truly aging like the finest wine. Still tall and with broad shoulders, a lean but strong build and a face with sharp cut angles and a smirk that could make Stiles’ pants drop if the Alpha ever desired so. Not that Deuc ever would desire so, because why would he, but Stiles could dream. Had dreamed about that repeatedly, in many different positions, back then and for years to come.

“You know me, Demon Wolf. The person with the worst luck around.”

It was weird, Stiles didn’t know what to do with Deucalion. Every fiber in his being made him want to jump the man in a hug like he’d done with Marin, but he had been much closer to his former mentor than to the Alpha of Alphas. He’d just been an awkward, annoying kid who only invaded the Alphas’ den to be taught by their Emissary, after all. And what was he to them five years later…?

The man on the radio is starting Monday with a Black Magic Woman. Weatherwise there's everything but the kitchen sink promised for the day, hopefully 'the umbrella' will hold off on the cutlery. The traffic lady says it's all busy busy on account of new road restrictions coming into play ... what could possibly go wrong?

Today's groaner: did you hear about the writer who wrote too many books? ... they got author-itis ;-D badoom tish ... here all week!!

Monday is bin day, but not for this household. No blue and brown 'sentries' at the end of my driveway. I do have a couple of wheelie bins, but they're for storing logs in. That and there are water bowls on top for the various birds to drink from and bathe in. Plus, they make wonderful structures for spiders to set up camp on.

I'm bleary-eyed and very slow with the one and only marble this morning. Up early as Biggest Dog is headed for another vet check up. Monday, Monday, Monday ... coffee, coffee, coffee ...

Raiders, Session 1

We started our new campaign! We're vikings!

We started on our journey on a longship to investigate a mysterious tower, that my character had seen in her dreams.

The party is:

Lowell (my little guy) - Shifter Paladin

Saga - Tallfolk Wizard

Fionn - Human Rouge

Bjarnónía - Human Cleric

After a string of bad luck where some of the other ships were lost, two men mutinied, and we entered our first combat to protect the leader of the expedition, Hrolf. [NPC] We might be level 1, but we helped.

After another day of sailing, we made it to the tower, and began exploring the bottom level.

It's old!

Decrepit!

We found an 11 year old in the basement!

We asked her a few questions, and she seems to be from a place / time we had not heard of.

Once we escorted the 11 year old to the crew, we continued exploring. Lowell got to show a little bit of their gambling habit, arm wrestling a statue for some small green marbles (non-magical, just pretty) that we needed to disable a trap.

We ended the session investigating the last room in the basement where we were attacked by wicker rats. There is still a chest to open, but we will get to that next monday!

Title: How I Met Your Witch. Prompt: ... For: Was for an October prompt event but i didn't finish it, so i'm now posting this cause I thought it was cute. Who: Caesar Kane (OC) & Cassian Barakzai (OC) Wip: Magically Inclined Notes: Caesar meets Cassian when Cassian's lost cat shows up at her cafe. They meet. Words: 501

Caesar Kane watches intently as a little black cat scratches its paws against the back of her cafe's sofa. As much as she'd like to throw a fit about it, the little guy is cute and it isn't exactly doing any harm. So, she doesn't do anything to it. She just lets it do its thing, it deciding to lounge on the sofa, opposed to scratching it anymore — her watching, curiously, wondering what it would be like to be a cat.

She's so lost in her own thoughts that she avoids noticing the dark-haired woman —- who she doesn't know is a real witch —- who walks into the cafe with a look of irritation in her brown eyes. "Oi," the dark haired witch says looking at her with narrowed eyes. "What's my cat doing here?"

Caesar does not even budge at her voice. She's used to having irritable customers. It's just another Monday to her. "I don't know, it was bored?" she states a little bored herself, looking at her like it's not her problem, before she looks at the cat who's walking in their owner's direction. When it reaches them, it prrs against its owner's legs and the witch picks up her cat. "Bored?" The witch asks, perplexed. She looks at the cat, and then right at Caesar who still looks bored, herself. "Were you bored, Terry?" The cat prrs louder. "I suppose he was."

Caesar sighs, right before she reaches out to touch the cat. It does not hiss at her. Instead, it prrs against her touch and its owner smiles. "Terry's a weird name for a cat. Sounds a little too human," Caesar says, casually.

The witch shrugs with only one shoulder, before she states. "That's because he's not just any cat — he used to be a person." The witch replies. She watches as Caesar continues to pet the cat, and the thing finally pulls away.

"Well, it's better than my name," Caesar comments, suddenly realizing how beautiful this woman is. She's got pale skin, jet black hair, and cheekbones that can cut through marble. She also has catlike brown eyes that are as alert as the cat's. She picks up on the comment, but like irritable customers walking in, she's used to people saying odd things.

"What's your name then? My name's Cassian," the witch introduces, using a freehand to shake, then resting the arm she's not using.

Caesar chuckles. "Caesar," she says casually, "It's nice to meet you, Cassian and Terry." She shakes the beautiful woman's hand and smiles at her, softly — impressed by meeting another woman with a name that's usually a man's. "Nice to meet you, too. Thanks for letting my little guy stay here for a while." Cassian says this just as casually as Caesar had said her own name.

"What did you mean by he 'used to be a person'?" she asks the witch, finally, even though she's used to it, but still not aware of the fact that she's a real witch.

The witch winks at her. Uses the cat's paw to wave at her. "We have to go — maybe I'll explain it another day, yeah?" she replies, and then she turns to leave out the door.

Caesar is still confused. So she mumbles, "Used to be human," under her breath, before looking at where the cat had been laying. "Why do the attractive people always have to be a bit weird?" Now bored, since there was no cat there to watch, she hums to herself and waits for her next customer.

Siblings: Helios and Eos

Partner: Endymion

Children: fifty daughters, Pandia, Ersa, The Menai (Menae), and Musaeus

MISC:

Witchcraft and sorcery: she is associated with witchcraft and sorcery because in ancient Greece, the moon was often seen as having a powerful influence on human behaviour and emotions. The phases of the moon were believed to affect human fertility, menstruation, and even mental health, and the Greeks believed that the moon held powerful magical energies that could be harnessed by sorcerers and witches. Selene, as the goddess of the moon, was often invoked in spells and rituals by those seeking to harness the power of the moon's energies, particularly at night when her full moon illuminated the sky.

Moon: Selene is associated with the moon because, according to Greek mythology, Selene is the personification of the moon itself. She is the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia and was believed to drive a chariot across the night sky, bringing light to the world. Selene was also believed to be the mother of the god of the sun, Helios, and the god of the dawn, Eos. In addition, the Greek goddess Hecate, who was also associated with witchcraft and sorcery, was said to have a connection to the moon and was sometimes even depicted as riding a chariot drawn by horses or dogs.

The colour silver: she is associated with the colour silver because, in Greek mythology, the moon itself is often described as being silver in color. The Greeks often referred to the moon as 'Selene's Silver Wheel' or 'the Silver Shield of Night,' which highlight the association of the moon with silver. Additionally, silver was also considered to be a metal that possessed magical properties, and it was often used in ancient ceremonies and rituals to invoke the power of the moon and its energies.Horses:

Moonstone: according to Greek mythology, it was believed to be a gift from the moon itself. The Greeks believed that moonstone, also known as selenite, was formed from the crystallized light of the moon, and that it held within it the essence of Selene's power and energy. The stone is often described as having a milky, shimmery appearance that resembles the light of the moon, and it is also known for its ability to reflect light in a way that mimics the shifting phases of the moon.

Oh Selene, maiden of the moon,Your brilliant light shines upon me tonight. As the tides rise and fall, so too does my spirit ebb and flow. In your silver light, I find solace, and in your dark embrace, I find peace. Grant me wisdom and guidance, as the phases of the moon guide me on my path.
