A Masterlist for all of my Miraculous au's:

Unworldly Compulsion and Consumption- (My main au)

Fanfic Link:

Chloe Bourgeois has it all. She's a hero alongside her idol Ladybug, she's becoming a better person and the class is friendlier with her. And most important of all to her, her parents are actually trying to be better parents; taking interest in what she actually wants to do with her life.

Then all of a sudden her entire life crumbles arounds her after a horrific accident at the hands of a beast leaves her as an undead vampiric creature with the power of compulsion. Chloe retreats to a castle of a tyrant long gone to live in, and desperately cling to what true signs of life she has left. However as time goes on, an hunger begins to take over Chloe, resulting in her mental health and immense power spiralling out of control.

Vowing to help Chloe with her situation and maintain her sanity, are her brothers Felix and Adrien. Her girlfriend Kagami. and her friends Pollen, Bunnyx, Sabrina, Luka, Alix, and Lila. By getting her out to galas, plays and operas. With Bunnyx taking her to multiple points in history to help her still indludge in her passion for history. Even if it results in the occasional problem, like accidentally leaving her in the reign of the tyrrancial Darkblade.

All the while, Hawkmoth, secret societies, cults, corrupt politicians and other villains alike are desperate to get their hands on the power of compulsion via any means they deem necessary. Even if results in putting people Chloe cares about in danger.

Has multiple references to the War of the Roses/Tudors, fashion I like and different bits of media.

I also refer to this au as the vampiric Chloe au, so if you’re confused when looking through my work, it’s just this au.

An All Consuming Cruelty-

Fanfic Link:

A companion fanfiction to Unworldly Compulsion and Consumption, due to the vampiric Chloe’s. Though they are under different circumstances.

Chloe finds the miraculous of a kwamii long forgotten by time. However it is not one that can be called kind. Instead it is the kwamii of consumption and cruelty. The gem it was tethered to was cut into multiple gems and placed into different pieces of jewellery, as a protective measure. However at some point a careless decision was made resulting in all pieces of jewellery being put together in the same box.

Upon finally being freed, it takes the chance to gain the power he once held, by possessing Chloe. Once it has done so, it takes the chance to consume all in its path. Even if it means consuming the flesh of akumas, sentimonsters and humans.

After being alerted by Audrey’s change from being horrible and loud, to terrified and quiet. It is up to Ladybug, Chat Noir and Hawkmoth to stop the kwamii. Though with the clock ticking and time against them, will they be able to do it and save Chloe?

Chloe's tales of Fencing, Jousting and Ballet-

Fanfic Link:

A crossover with Barbie 12 Dancing Princesses and Barbie Princess and the Pauper. In Pollen's efforts to give Chloe a proper life, she and Bunnyx sends her to those two Barbie movies. She becomes a very talented fencer, jouster and ballet dancer.

Has multiple references to Wars of the Roses and the Tudors.

Hellfire and Ash-

Fanfic Link:

After almost killing Audrey and Andre, Gabriel burns down their house to destroy any evidence. Nooroo takes baby Chloe to the kwamii realm where she is raised by them with miniscule human interactions. At the age of 12, she's finally allowed to go to Francois Dupont, where she meets her first human friends. From there she makes friends and tries to find her parents.

Was somehow inspired by Columbo.

Medieval Princess Chloe-

Fanfic link:

in the late 1400s/early 1500s, Princess Chloe Annabelle Bourgeois of France, must unite her friends to seek out and gain power from the fabled kwamii. After the villainous Hawkmoth usurps the throne from her parents, and driving her into exile.

Contains very obvious inspiration/references to the War of the Roses/Tudors.

The old antique store-

Fanfic Link:

Eleven years prior to her thirteenth birthday, a believed to be accident, results in two year old Chloe Bourgeois disappearing under mysterious circumstances. Leaving no evidence whatsoever and her parents unable to remember what happened.

Then those eleven years later, a small antique shop opens. Said shop is owned by the mysterious Richard Sphinx, accompanied by his ward. Said ward is a girl of thirteen, her eyes an icy blue and her hair a golden blonde. Upon stumbling into the shop, one autumn evening, Adrien recognises said girl. From there he is determined to find out the truth of what happened all those years ago.

After all, some secrets aren’t so secret. And some people are know much more then they’re willing to admit.

Heavily inspired by Stephen King’s, Needful Things and Salem’s Lot.

The tale of a magical girl, mage-

Fanfic Link:

After the events of Heroes day, Chloe is informed by Ladybug and Chat Noir that she will no longer be allowed to wield the bee miraculous.

However upon opening an ancient tome, she comes into contact with the being only known as Null. To which he tells her there’s more magic than just miraculous and Kwamii. And well Chloe wants to know it all; become the person she wants to be and escape from her mother’s shadow.

So with Null’s guidance, Chloe sets forth to learn magic unknown and become a mage. Although it’s not easy, as the magic she now yearns for is not only a lot different from the miraculous, but dangerous as well.

Features a magic system heavily inspired by Skyrim. With elements of Bloodborne, Dark Souls, magical girl shows and Youjo Senki.

Greetings Traveller, You Must be Weary-

Fanfic Link:

After being in the wrong place at the wrong time, young Chloe Bourgeois is abandoned in the world of Dark Souls by Gabriel Agreste.

Years later, Gabriel barely escapes to Dark Souls, after a fight with the heroes. Now the heroes must wander through the land to find him. Taking Chloe, now named Seraphina, with them for any help they can get. All the while Chat Noir struggles to tell Chloe who she really is.

A Young Hunter-

Fanfic Link:

Gabriel Agreste conducts experiment to see if there’s something that could give him more power than a miraculous to achieve his goals.

His experiment, you ask?

Why, he abandons baby Chloe in the world of Yharnam, to see if she can survive or not. It’s not like her parents will miss their own baby, right? Either way, he watches from the shadows every year or so, to see that his experiment is continuing to be successful.

At least it was going successfully, until Ladybug and Chat Noir get there. Then all hell breaks loose.

I’m not the Dragonborn, and well…I’m okay with that-

Fanfic Link:

Chloe Bourgeois, daughter of the mayor, wielder of the bee miraculous……companion to the Dragonborn?

The Girl in the House-

Fanfic Link:

Instead of Gabriel Agreste being Hawkmoth, it is Audrey Bourgeois wielding both the butterfly and peacock miraculous. Her goal is to get the Ladybug and Cat miraculous in order to relieve her husband of his illness and prevent future members of her family from suffering from it.

Chloe Bourgeois slowly retreats from her bitchy queen bee persona, as her father becomes more ill and her mother becomes more consumed by her work. Leading her to baking and gardening to work through her emotions. This intrigues Kagami Tsuguri, who is determined to learn the reason as to why she's changed.

Such Fickle Things (A miraculous rewrite)-

Fanfic Link:

Gabriel Agreste, using the butterfly miraculous, takes on the persona of Dague Noire, a mysterious unseen criminal to get the ladybug and cat miraculous.

After numerous unsuccesful attempts, Chloe Bourgeois reveals her identity enabling him to get ahold of the bee miraculous. Now with a new plan, he blackmails Chloe into working with him, while holding her parents lives over her head.

With the help of her close friends, Adrien, Sabrina and a new family member in Pollen, Chloe is able to double cross Dague Noire and help the heroes in the hopes of stopping him.

The Facts in the Case of M. Bourgeois-

Felix finds Chloe and they strike a deal in which Felix will inform of her of events happening in Paris and she provides him with power to find out Hawkmoth's identity.

Behold a Pale Horse! And its riders name was Death!- (A fic requested by one of my ao3 readers)

Said kwamii of the miraculous are not happy with a child getting the box, and regretfully inform her that she is to be the new herald of their powers and usher in a new era.

This includes her and most of her class collectively trying to raise her new baby brother. Keeping up with her grades, being a hero. with her and Felix stupidly taking over her father's job as mayor. all while collecting a few more miraculous along the way

Raven queen and Apple White.

Year One redesigns.

Hello again, had some more ever after high art drafted up for a bit now, and I felt I might as well get it properly finished and coloured ahead of something big I have planned next weekend...

These designs are in essence, Raven and Apple's designs for when they first meet at ever after high, because plot their styles will change overtime, and I have plenty of concepts for where they're going to go that I'll eventually get around to drawing...

Also stay tuned for some more eah art of a similar ilk tomorrow btw. (It's another redesign,can you guess who?)

Design details down below:

Apple's design was primarily inspired by the high fashion of the 1940s and 1950s, with particular mention given to the famed dior "new look" dress of the era, with a bit of medieval and tudor flair to it. (The idea being that apple,true to form usually dresses in the same vein as her mother, whom she is eager to please and live up to,maybe a bit too much for her own good...)

Raven as we all know and love is a Goth through and through, and while this design is far from the absolute heights my version of Raven will go in regards to gothic and goth elements in her designs you can hopefully still see some inspiration from that in this initial design.

Raven's design also reflects her upbringing and personality. Not wanting to turn out like her mother and growing up in a poor,cold part of the world leads Raven to deviate from the expected style for the evil queen even before formally rebelling (for example wearing one of her dad's waistcoats over her dress and incorporating soft blues in with black and purple)

Another thing to note is that my version of Raven is Punjabi, and as such I decided to have her wear the traditional dress-and-scarf combo traditionally worn by punjabi women.

Grimsthorpe Castle

Hi guys!!

I'm sharing another grand english state!

House History: The building was originally a small castle on the crest of a ridge on the road inland from the Lincolnshire fen edge towards the Great North Road. It is said to have been begun by Gilbert de Gant, Earl of Lincoln in the early 13th century. However, he was the first and last in this creation of the Earldom of Lincoln and he died in 1156. Gilbert's heyday was the peak time of castle building in England, during the Anarchy. It is quite possible that the castle was built around 1140. However, the tower at the south-east corner of the present building is usually said to have been part of the original castle and it is known as King John's Tower. The naming of King John's tower seems to have led to a misattribution of the castle's origin to his time.

Gilbert de Gant spent much of his life in the power of the Earl of Chester and Grimsthorpe is likely to have fallen into his hands in 1156 when Gilbert died, though the title 'Earl of Lincoln' reverted to the crown. In the next creation of the earldom, in 1217, it was Ranulph de Blondeville, 4th Earl of Chester (1172–1232) who was ennobled with it. It seems that the title, if not the property was in the hands of King John during his reign; hence perhaps, the name of the tower.

During the last years of the Plantagenet kings of England, it was in the hands of Lord Lovell. He was a prominent supporter of Richard III. After Henry VII came to the throne, Lovell supported a rebellion to restore the earlier royal dynasty. The rebellion failed and Lovell's property was taken confiscated and given to a supporter of the Tudor Dynasty.[2]

The Tudor period

This grant by Henry VIII, Henry Tudor's son, to the 11th Baron Willoughby de Eresby was made in 1516, together with the hand in marriage of Maria de Salinas, a Spanish lady-in-waiting to Queen Catherine of Aragon. Their daughter Katherine inherited the title and estate on the death of her father in 1526, when she was aged just seven. In 1533, she became the fourth wife of Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk, a close ally of Henry VIII. In 1539, Henry VIII granted Charles Suffolk the lands of the nearby suppressed Vaudey Abbey, founded in 1147, and he used its stone as building material for his new house. Suffolk set about extending and rebuilding his wife's house, and in only eighteen months it was ready for a visit in 1541 by King Henry, on his way to York to meet his nephew, James V of Scotland. In 1551, James's widow Mary of Guise also stayed at Grimsthorpe. The house stands on glacial till and it seems that the additions were hastily constructed. Substantial repairs were required later owing to the poor state of the foundations, but much of this Tudor house can still be seen today.

During Mary's reign the castle's owners, Katherine Brandon, Duchess of Suffolk (née Willoughby) and her second husband, Richard Bertie, were forced to leave it owing to their Anglican views. On Elizabeth's succeeding to the throne, they returned with their daughter, Susan, later Countess of Kent and their new son Peregrine, later the 13th Baron. He became a soldier and spent much of his time away from Grimsthorpe.

The Vanbrugh building

By 1707, when Grimsthorpe was illustrated in Britannia Illustrata, the 15th Baron Willoughby de Eresby and 3rd Earl Lindsey had rebuilt the north front of Grimsthorpe in the classical style. However, in 1715, Robert Bertie, the 16th Baron Willoughby de Eresby, employed Sir John Vanbrugh to design a Baroque front to the house to celebrate his ennoblement as the first Duke of Ancaster and Kesteven. It is Vanbrugh's last masterpiece. He also prepared designs for the reconstruction of the other three ranges of the house, but they were not carried out. His proposed elevation for the south front was in the Palladian style, which was just coming into fashion, and is quite different from all of his built designs.

The North Front of Grimsthorpe as rebuilt by Vanbrugh, drawn in 1819. Vanbrugh's Stone Hall occupies the space between the columns on both floors.

Inside, the Vanbrugh hall is monumental with stone arcades all around at two levels. Arcaded screens at each end of the hall separate the hall from staircases, much like those at Audley End House and Castle Howard. The staircase is behind the hall screen and leads to the staterooms on the first floor. The State Dining Room occupies Vanbrugh's north-east tower, with its painted ceiling lit by a Venetian window. It contains the throne used by George IV at his Coronation Banquet, and a Regency giltwood throne and footstool used by Queen Victoria in the old House of Lords. There is also a walnut and parcel gilt chair and footstool made for the use of George III at Westminster. The King James and State Drawing Rooms have been redecorated over the centuries, and contain portraits by Reynolds and Van Dyck, European furniture, and yellow Soho Tapestries woven by Joshua Morris around 1730. The South Corridor contains thrones used by Prince Albert and Edward VII, as well as the desk on which Queen Victoria signed her coronation oath. A series of rooms follows in the Tudor east range, with recessed oriel windows and ornate ceilings. The Chinese drawing room has a splendidly rich ceiling and an 18th-century fan-vaulted oriel window. The walls are hung with Chinese wallpaper depicting birds amidst bamboo. The chapel is magnificent with superb 17th-century plasterwork.

More history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grimsthorpe_Castle

This house fits a 64x64 lot and features several impressive rooms, more than 29 bedrooms, a servants hall and several state rooms!

I only decored some of the main rooms, for you to have a glimpse of the distribution. The rest is up to you, as I have stated that I do not like interiors :P

Be warned: I did not have the floor plan for the tudor rooms, thus, the distribution is based on my own decision and can not fit the real house :P.

You will need the usual CC I use: all of Felixandre, The Jim, SYB, Anachrosims, Regal Sims, TGS, The Golden Sanctuary, Dndr recolors, etc.

Please enjoy, comment if you like it and share pictures with me if you use my creations!

Mary I's Fight For The Throne

3rd August - Mary triumphantly enters London

Mary arrives at Whitechapel around 6pm, and after a brief stop to change clothes, proceeds to pass through the city "accompanied with gentlemen, squires, knights, and lords, with a great number of strangers all in velvet coats riding before her, with all the King's trumpeters, heralds, and sergeants at arms." 1

This includes the Imperial ambassadors, who confirm "the Venetian ambassador was there too; but not the ambassador of the King of France." 2

The new queen wears a "gown of purple velvet French fashion, with sleeves of the same, her kirtle purple satin all thick set with goldsmiths work and great pearls, with her foresleeves of the same set with rich stones, with a rich bowdricke of gold, pearls, and stones about her neck, and a riche billement of stones and great pearls on her hood, her palfrey that she rode on richly trapped with gold embroidered to the horse feet, and another rich trapped palfrey led after her highness by Sir [Edward] Hastings, master of the horse." 3

The Imperial ambassadors believe "Her look, her manner, her gestures, her countenance were such that in no event could they have been improved.[...] her face is more than middling-fair." 4

She enters London at Aldgate, which is "richly hanged with arras and set with streamers." 5 She meets the Lord Mayor and Recorder here, who salute her highness. The Recorder says:

"Pleaseth your highness, my Lord Mayor, here present, in the name of his brethren and all the commons of this your highness city and chamber of London, most humbly beseecheth your highness to be good and gracious Sovereign to these commons of this your city like as your highnesses noble progenitors aforetime have been, and, according to their bounden duty at your highnesses coming, my Lord Mayor presenteth here your highness with the sceptre pertaining to the office, in token of loyalty and homage, most humbly welcome your highness to this your highnesses city and chamber of London." 6

The Lord Mayor then kisses the sceptre and passes it to Mary, who answers:

"My Lord Mayor, I heartily thank you and all your brethren the aldermen of your gentleness showed unto me, which shall not be forgotten, for I have known you ever to have bene good toward me." 7

Her words are "so gently spoken and with so smiling a countenance that the hearers wept for joy." 8

Mary then proceeds down the street, with the Mayor of London bearing "the mace, and the earl of Arundel bore the sword, and all the trumpets [blew]; and next [after] her my lady Elizabeth. After Elizbeth the duchess of Norfolk, and next [after] her the marquess of Exeter, [and other] ladies, and after [them] the aldermen, and then the guard with bows." 9 The guards wore "green and white, red and white, and blue and green." 10 All these colours were significant liveries in Mary's past - the green and white being the Tudor livery, red and white belonging to Henry VIII and the blue and green being the personal livery Mary herself had her household wear when Princess of Wales.

The streets are "richly hanged with clothes of arras and silk" 11 and "gravelled all the way [...] And all the streets by the way as her highness rode standing so full of people shouting and crying Jesus save her Grace, with weeping tears for joy, that the like was never seen before." 12

Rails have been placed down the streets for the large crowds, where citizens and merchants stand with "streamers and banners of every Company or occupation standing at [the] rails, every Company in their best liveries." 13

Various celebrations have been prepared for her, including a "great stage covered with canvas where all the children of Christ's Hospital sat." 14 There are "about one hundred poor little children [...] all dressed in blue, with red caps upon their heads. They were given to the Queen to nourish and care for them, the eldest not being over twelve or fourteen. One of them addressed a prayer to her Majesty that she might take them under her care." 15

There are four stages in all between Algate and the Tower, where "clerks and musicians stood playing and singing goodly ballads, which rejoiced the queen's highness greatly." 16

In the Tower, there were "terrible and great shots of guns shot within the Tower and all about the Tower wharf that the like hath not been heard, for they never ceased shooting from the time her highness entered in at Algate till she came to Mark Lane end, which was like great thunder, so that it had been like to an earthquake." 17

As well as gunshots, bells "so long disused" 18 are ringing out in celebration across the capital.

The Lord Mayor leaves when Mary reaches the Tower. Inside "The Duke of Norfolk, Doctor Gardner, late bishop of Winchester, and Mr. [Edward] Courtney, prisoners in the Tower, kneeled on the hill within the Tower asking pardon." 19 Anne Seymour, late Duchess of Somerset is also amongst the group who "presented themselves before the Queen to ask for her pardon and their full liberty."20 Mary "gently saluted, bidding them rise up." 21 and "kissed them, and said These are my prisoners." 22. She "replied that they had done nothing for which they should sue for mercy, and she was sorry that they should have suffered and been detained for so long. She gave her full consent to their liberation." 23

Mary has now taken possession of the Tower of London as England's reigning monarch. All that remains is the coronation "which will take place as soon as the necessary preparations can be made." 24

Meanwhile...

On the 8th of August King Edward VI is buried. At his burial there was "a standard with a dragon, and then a great number of his servants in black, and then another standard with a white greyhound, and then after a great number of his officers." The chariot conveying his body was covered with cloth of gold and an effigy of the king with "his sceptre in his hand, lying in his robes, and the garter about his leg, and a coat in embroidery of gold; about the corpse were borne four banners, a banner of the order [of the Garter], another of the red rose, another of queen Jane (Seymour), another of the queen's mother." 25

What Gen's tent in RotT probably looked like according to me lol. This drawing is probably of Henry VIII's tent at the Field of the Cloth of Gold, a fun party/meeting he had with France's king in 1520. Source: Tudor Textiles by Eleri Lynn, fabulous book, highly recommend. She has an equally amazing book out called Tudor Fashion.

@meganwhalenturner did Henry get it right?

I think the reason the "evil Lady Rochford" story has lasted so long is that it... makes sense? If you think about how much planning and secrecy must've gone into sneaking Culpeper around, what sort of character she had to think that was not just moral, but safe to do, it's easy to put her into AB's fall too. I haven't read Julia Fox but Jane's wiki is almost all based on it. I kind of assumed the whole "Jane rehab" fashion was saying she never testified against AB, but if the wiki is right, JF says she did, but it's still not her fault and we should not blame her? Like how? But I can't bring myself to like her. She served one queen she knew was falsely accused and killed, so what the hell was she doing actually trying to set up adultery for KH? How was this a good idea? And that time she tried to leave them alone and KH called her back, like KH wanted a chaperone to make the meeting legit, but Jane wanted to leave, like encouraging them to go further, really doesn't sit right with me. I just don't feel she deserves this "she never did anything wrong" sympathy she gets.

I mean, you can't judge the book only on the summary, I would say read it even if you don't agree with the summary. You have to know what exactly you're arguing against.

Respectfully I'm going to agree to disagree with most of this, but I would say that I rec James Taffe's book about her to you, I think you'd enjoy it; he has a similar view of her character (although my personal opinion, if JF's was something of an Overcorrection, JT's was an Overcorrection of the Overcorrection, and as I said earlier, while I fall somewhere in between their views, I fall closer to Fox's).

I don't really think her conduct with KH was the best, although I don't agree with you entirely, but the 'she never did anything wrong' resonated because... idk, I'm a trans man so I have a different perspective on the way in which Tudor women are discussed than most, ig? And this thing (not limited to JB but she's certainly an example) of All Women Had To Do Exactly What They Were Asked By Their Betters Without Exception At All Times Or Else And Had No Room to Maneuever And Had No Choice E v e r is so.... especially when we are talking about aristocratic women?? Aristocratic women that were considered, by their standards, and ours, adults? Women with relative freedom for their time? Imagine how tired we are.

#anon #over...compensation? is there a better word for this? probably #but yeah. jane could have. you know. left katherine howard's service?#if she felt she was being put in a difficult or dangerous situation and that kh just wasn't going to listen to her #which is as i recall what JF argues #anyway it was poor judgement #i would say i find her compelling if only for the reason you ask; why?#maybe she just assumed henry would die soon. although his health that year was not as bad as it would get later. he was certainly getting #up there....#anyway tl; dr you do not have to 'like' her but i think you should read both and then see if they answer anything for you #both biographies are quite exhaustive #but i would say taffe interrogated some sources more deeply than fox and vice versa #that's why i think it's best to read both! certainly expanded and grounded my understanding #more aggressively*? idk. but hopefully ykwim

Falling for Nightwing

Chapter one:

My scarey vampire father hissed at me. "My daughter! Stay in your room. We have distinguished company tonight. I can't have you interfere. "

"Ah! B-b-but why-y? I promise to n-n...not interfere. I know where I b-belong."

"You belong in your room! If you are needed, the maid will escort you, but that is unlikely, given your iq." My vampire dad crackled and swished his cape around as he floated away down the hallway.

I begrudgingly made my way up the stairs to my grand but cold feeling room. My pale and hollow features ridden with sadness as I am once again banished to my room for being such a disaster of a child. Father may be tough but he loved me enough to know when to hide me away so I didn't feel embarrassed by someone seeing my dreadful features.

In my room, I wallow in self pity. I know I do not deserve to do so, but my soft feminine heart can not take such harsh comments from the brutal truth of a man's words. I let out a wobbly cry into the palms of my hands, my small frame shaking at the mere velocity.

A soft knock startles me from my pity party. The maid pokes her head in, "Miss, your father requires your presence. Let's get you cleaned up a little first."

"R-right away...I am a c-complete m-m-mess right now. Father will h-hate me..."

The maid smiled kindly, like she agreed. She cleared the snot from my face and dressed me in my finest navy blue tudor renaissance dress, which was high fashion in the recent 16th century.

At the end of such an extravagant make over, the maid tries to put my hair in a half up half down look with a sparkling diamond in crested hair clip to tie the whole thing together. But, I suddenly stop her, finding the hair too feminine and girly girl. I do not appreciate nor fit with those traditional girly hairstyles. Instead, I simply grab a hair tie and tie it into a messy bun before smiling at myself in the mirror. The maid looks disgusted but quickly smiles back acting as if I hadn't caught her.

I turn to the maid quickly with a nervous smile, the action making her take a step back in what looks like caution, as if I had some serious disease. Hah. I look up at her

"W-w-why exactly was it t-tha...that father w-wanted me?" I ask in a meek, petite voice.

"You see Miss, your father would like you to use your feminine influences to garner a better deal from the batman." She turned, "I'll escort you."

My coquette, small frame turns left and right through the many hallways of my father's mansion as i follow the maid, while my thoughts take the same sharp turns through my brain. I try to reason as to why father would trust a hideous beast as my self to help him with the important matter. Maybe, just possibly, he could believe I'm something more than a mistake. No! Of course not! I want to slap my caked up face from the stupidity of the thought.

While shaking my head, I see a boyish figure in red, black and yellow, lurking in the shadows. Suspicious. Something I should surely warn father or at least the maid about, but I instead turn my head straight ahead and forget exactly what I had just seen. Surely there will be no consequences due to my actions, or lack there of. Haha, of course not. My smile is eerily serene and the maid looks back at me before walking faster, as if trying to lose me.

As I enter the dinning room, I see a full spread of food, which is unusual because father doesn't eat that. The batman is sitting adjacent to my father, robed in black with silly little ears. How baby girl of him.

"Wonderful!" My father cried. He stood and clasped me on my shoulder, " Mr.Batman, may I introduce you to my favorite and only child."

The batman looks to have been startled, horrified even, by my introduction, but I shake away that thought as when I blink again, he is as composed as ever, though he fails to maintain eye contact.

He stands, "it's a pleasure to meet you."

As he sits back down, I swiftly grab a seat close to him and scooch my way closer to his side, causing the chair to erupt in a painfully long screeching noise in a rather quiet room. My actions hault when my father stares me down in anger, his entire body rumbling and tumbling. I stop so he doesn't punish me later by making me watch a compilation of Brent Reviera videos for four hours straight. Again.

"So Mr.Batman, I still insist on the original details of my proposal. I don't believe the consuming of humans to be immoral from a being such as myself." Says my vampire dad. "I truly believe that this is a fair trade for what I offer you."

I look between the two with fast eyes, not wanting to miss a second of either of their reactions, despite Mr.Batman maintaining his stoic and constipated look. He makes me quiver in my Chanel pumps. Old ones of course, father would never spend much money on little old me.

As I watch the two closer, more-so Mr.Batman, I try to figure out what would be the best way to seduce him so that I can do my one job correctly and successfully. I train my eyes on him hard and get a sudden thought of something rather disturbing. He looks like the type to have his lovers dress up as sailor moon characters, and make them transform into their costumes before partaking in intimate actions. Mhm, most definitely. I run a finger down his arm and wink.

The batman, seemingly doing his best to ignore my advances, looks over a document in his hand. "Unfortunately, I can't agree to that. I'm aware of the value of what you are offering, but this agreement would cause too much disturbance for it to be worth it."

"Curses!" Yelled vampire dad, throwing his hands in the air. "Perhaps a chosen few every week, you can obtain them based on the qualities I desire. For example, I enjoy when the men have small waists. I believe there is a human term for this. Soupy waists? Singular waist?"

I watch amusdely as the two have their silly little argument about their silly little topic. I havent a clue what theyre talking about, but it sure makes my father make silly expressions with his saggy, clay-like face. Caught up in the moment and not entirely focused on my food, I stab my spoon into the pile of food I'll probably never be allowed to eat again and swoop a big serving onto the silverware. Bringing it closer to myself, I begin opening my mouth as the two suddenly stop and look at me with panicked, frustrated and disappointed but not surprised faces. I eat the spoonful anyways.

"Curses!" Hisses my father.

I black out.

~Archives~

chatsworth house and the Devonshire family own and have many archives within their collection.

Bess of Hardwicks will.

The Duchesses will stated Both the old and new Halls at Hardwick, together with their contents, were bequeathed to Bess of Hardwick's second son William Cavendish. Her eldest son, Henry Cavendish, was to inherit Chatsworth but not its contents, a reflection of their troubled relationship however the contents were bequeathed to William. Chatsworth without its contents were no use to Henry, and he sold his interest in the house to William in 1609 for £8,000. The inventory runs up to six pages and the will to two pages.

1st Dukes Building Accounts.

Few alterations were made at Chatsworth after Bess of Hardwick’s time until the late 17th century. Rebuilding was undertaken by the 4th Earl (from 1694 the 1st Duke) because of concerns about the stability of the Elizabethan structure, and to create a more imposing, comfortable and fashionable house.

The rebuilding took over 20 years to complete, beginning with the South Front, and working anti-clockwise, but often with several sections being altered at the same time and with many changes along the way.

The building accounts of the 1st Duke of Devonshire document the rebuilding of the house over two decades. They include payments to Siberechts (landscape painter), Nadauld (sculptor) and Chéron (painter and illustrator).

Letters from Joseph Paxton.

The 6th Duke of Devonshire became very interested in gardening after he met Joseph Paxton (1803–1865) whom was a young gardener working in the gardens at Chiswick, which adjoined the Duke's land there. Paxton was appointed head gardener at Chatsworth in 1826. At Chatsworth, Paxton built the Great Conservatory between 1836 and 1840, contrived the Emperor Fountain and grew the 'Victoria Regia' water lily for the first time in Europe. Amongst Paxton's many other achievements, he went on to design and build the Crystal Palace for the Great Exhibition in 1851. Paxton's correspondence is extant in the collections at Chatsworth. These two letters show Paxton in typical energetic form, the first dealing with housing the 'Victoria Regia' the second with the Crystal Palace.

"We have been obliged to make the Tank for the Victoria as large again as when your Grace saw it. One leaf this morning measured 4 feet across. Nothing can exceed its health and vigor but I fear this extraordinary growth will not go on much longer, as the weather has set in heat, and very cloudy..."

'All is going well with the Great Building but there was a sad accident Tuesday - I am very careful about myself, as I know the danger, the drawings in the Illustrated News are very good, and show it exactly. I am almost bothered to death just now with applications of all sorts, and the demands to take my Portraits is almost beyond endurance, coupled with invitations to dine out, and attend public meetings, all of which are a great bore, and I now decline them all.'
