#moonrose my beloveds

[turtlesinatree]

Evan Rosier is a med student whose very obsessed anatomy and curing the uncurable that killed his sister. He's in his 4th year, trying to apply for thoracic surgery. He's a great student, top of his class and is going to get any residency he wants. Except, he has some unusual hobbies that include cutting open and examining dead bodies. But they aren't giving him what he's looking for. 

Remus Lupin is a librarian's assistant at the med school Evan goes too. He always wanted to attend med school but couldn't. See, they don’t accept werewolves in med school (yes, werewolves exist in this, bear with me) He would be a liability and a problem so he's accepted it and works in the library.  

Somehow, someway, these two meet. They hit it off and within 4 months, they start dating. Except, both have a secret from the other and it is killing them, they want to share but don't want the other to leave.  

Remus wakes up from a full moon one night and it was worse than usual. He goes to Evan for comfort but finds him arm deep in a dead corpse's chest. Remus is obviously shocked and Evan is terrified Remus will tell the school board or worse, dump him. 

They sit down, have a chat, healthy communication. Evan reveals his little dream and hobby of using the dead people to get it, but how it's not working. He needs a live subject but it would kill them. Remus reveals he's a werewolf and transforms at the full moon but it gives him other little quirks like regenerative healing and great hearing. Evan hears this and grins like a complete mad man. 

So this is how Remus finds himself strapped to his lover's surgeon table, chest cut open. Evan is going back a forth between comforting and kissing his lover, and taking notes, examining everything he can on his new live subject. Obviously, Remus consented to this, after many, many weeks of consideration. Remus is crying, not because of the pain, he can't even feel it. Because he feels his lycanthropy is finally useful and serves a purpose. He feels he can still contribute to the medical field like he always dreamed. 

Evan Rosier becomes the most famous and successful surgeon of all time. His findings were revolutionary and helped save so many people. No one knows how he discovered these things, or who the Remus Lupin accredited in his work is. At the end of the day, Evan returns to his husband and Remus doesn't care if anyone, but Evan knows what he has done for medicine. 

some moonrose to get me out of my writing block funk

[stxrrnightjxr]

I present to everyone (who cares ig): Germaphobe Remus Lupin

- The fear started when he was young, when one of his wounds from a particularly rough full moon developed into an infection. Since Magic can’t help much with werewolf-inflicted wounds such as Remus’, there wasn’t much he or Hope could do to help it- and so it was very painful. He learned it was from ‘germs,’ and hated them ever since.

- he made sure after every full moon that everything on him and of him had to be clean- and he’d triple check to make sure.

- he’d wash his hands after every meal and after touching too many unfamiliar surfaces + things, and always carried around hand sanitizer; because ‘who knows what kind of germs + bacteria is on that?’ Even if he didn’t have any current wounds, he still didn’t want to risk it.

- it doesn’t help him much socially- children his age already thought he was odd, and some eventually started to think him rude for sanitizing his hands after even shaking theirs, like he thought they were dirty or something.

- The second he learned that wolves could get things like fleas and ticks, he was even more scared (more than usual) of his turning every full moon- what if he contracted something, and it got into his bloodstream, and he got Lyme disease or something?

- James in first year didn’t really get it (James was definitely a kid who did NOT care if he got real muddy) and didn’t understand much why Remus avoided him and Sirius like the plague after quidditch practice (and neither did Sirius) but they eventually got the point, and made sure to at least shower before returning to the dorms, for Remus’ sake.

- he really doesn’t like herbology (he’s not too good at it regardless, but the point still stands)

- he loves books, but he can’t stand when they get dusty or something of the like, and is very hesitant to lend them/let people borrow them because they’re already sort of ratty, what if they mess them up, get something on them and don’t clean it up?

- he finds great comfort in the hospital wing with Poppy- something he came to find out after many many full moons that he’d stay- something about the sterile, clean space makes him feel just a little better, especially in such a vulnerable time as that.

(1/5) My grandma is a better narrator, but i'll do my best :) There was once a bard who fell in love with the daughter of the lord of a city, it was chance that had them meet and from then on, they kept meeting in secret. He dared to asked for his beloved hand in marriage, but the lord refused, no way a lowly bard would get to marry his daughter! So the bard decided he would become a knight, and was mentored by paladin of legend who served a king rightful and just.

(2/5) Deeds of the bard reached back home, with the daughter asking every traveling merchant for news of her love, and gradually the tales of his heroics held him in high regard by the citizens. The king granted him knighthood, and his sigil to prove that he fought in his service, and soon he was bound to be home again. During patrol with his paladin friend, they were ambushed by the enemy, and though as bravely as he fought, he was deadly wounded and fell on a bush of white roses.

(3/5) The paladin knelt beside him, tears in his eyes, and asked for his last wish, because he would have done anything for his friend. The bard took a rose, which turned red from his blood, and begged the paladin to bring it home to his beloved. So the paladin traveled to the city, and was held a high honor guest to the lord's house, but he spoke not to the lord, giving the dauhter the bloody rose

(4/5) and telling her the bards deeds during the war, and that he was held a friend by both him and the king. The girl took the rose, a single tear on her face, and disappeared into her room. Great was her grief, and great was her father's grief when the morning after they found her on her bed, the rose in her hand, but she was no longer alive.

(5/5) However the poor lovers' tale started a tradition in the city, that every anniversary of their deaths, one is to bring a red rose to their beloved. A symbol of love, a prayer to those who could not be together in life, so that they may watch over them all.

-------

It’s a lovely tale, little shadow, and I thank you for sharing it with me. Is this truly a sad tale? Perhaps it’s just the Moonshadow in me, but they loved each other, and they knew it. Sometimes, such knowledge is enough. Although, it seems the maiden didn’t think so, and she should get to decide how she feels, not me. I’m content to be pleased that she found someone to love, and who loved her back.

A romantic tradition linked to death, though... I like that part. The Moonshadow version would be to dip a moonrose in our actual blood before presenting it. But then, we are rather intense about such things sometimes. *waves away my morbid gothic tendencies* It’s a very romantic gesture, this rose-giving, and a fine way to remember such an epic romantic disaster.

I... do have questions. Can’t help it. Was the enemy ambush truly random? I can think of a few reasons for it not to be. And I can’t help but side-eye the paladin’s motives, as well, but perhaps that’s just because I don’t trust humans much in general. Pardon me if I’m making this tale darker than you intended. It’s my way, I’m afraid.

Thank you again for the story. I enjoyed it very much. It may not have seemed so, but if you get me curious enough to poke at something and ask questions, then you have captured my interest. Well done.

◆Out Of Character Information◆

Name/Age: Jo, 28 Preferred Pronouns: She/Her Timezone: PST Desired Character: Aaliyah Tenney

◆Character Information◆

(1)  What pronouns will your character be using? Would you like to list their sexuality at this time?: Aaliyah uses she/her pronouns and has no sexual preference. She’s less accustomed to women paying that sort of attention to her and feels more pressure to impress when it happens.

(2)  Any changes or comments? If anything, I might want her to not be one of the first mages to leave the Hallowed Oak just because I want to roleplay out her moving from Southwind to Hala (and I feel like she would have come to that decision a long time ago if she’d been out of the woods for any more than 2 - 3 years).

(3) Why this character? My previous character was much younger when I started playing her and had a “finding yourself” narrative, and when she was aged up for Season 4, I didn’t stick around long enough to really enjoy the new “knowledgeable, opinionated, highly skilled” version of her. Aaliyah is starting at a very different point altogether: unlike Eira whose past was darker and tainted with sadness, Aaliyah is starting her journey with a sense of purpose and a whole clan of people who love her. The world outside the Oak is shiny and new, but among her own kind, she is a master surpassing her elders. When it comes to white magic, she is the one you listen to, defer to, ask for help. Despite her insecurities, she has always fit in until now, and she has to learn to judge who to help and who to trust all over again.

(4) Interpret this character:

I see Aaliyah as someone who was initially very clumsy as a child and had every interest in getting over knocks and injuries as quickly as possible. Her rapidly growing skills made her a bigger risk taker as fewer and fewer physical consequences applied to her, but her perilous beginnings instilled a sense of exactitude in her. To her there’s nothing more important than getting things right, checking and double-checking your answers before committing, especially when the experiment being played with is someone’s health. I can also see her parents being very exacting people - gentle, supportive, but vocal about the fragility of living things.

Her mother was probably a great beauty surpassing her daughter, something Aaliyah tried hard to live up to as the coven saw her face far more often than her mother’s. Once she surpassed the elders and became master healer of the Mighty Oak, it fell upon her to lead younger white mages in their learning, oversee the wellbeing of the entire community, and always be present beside the Forest Sage during great communions as a representative of the coven’s strength and survival. With so many eyes on her, Aaliyah grew addicted to the attention and affection. It is very easy to slight her, but that’s something she discovers outside the Oak, where she’s surrounded by strangers who have no history of loving or needing her. Aaliyah tries not to show it when her pride or vanity have been damaged, but her overly expressive face undoes her every time.

In terms of dress, she has a lifelong love affair with neutral colors, the better to blend into her beloved forest home and feel a part of it. However, I can definitely say that her wardrobe underwent a transformation after leaving the Hallowed Oak: other species did not react too politely to a woman draped in green, crowned with horns, owl mask shielding her face and a tapestry of bones adorning her neck. Now she dresses to blend in - for the most part. When she experiments with colors, they are always the brightest; and her dresses are always cut to allow parts of her body to experience the sun, an aspect of nature that was often absent in the forest.

She can do all the same minor spells any trained gifted human can - stirring the liquids in a cauldron, summoning a broom to her hand, lighting and blowing out a candle - but only her expertise in the branch of alteration magic can rival her grasp of white magic. Some wounds could only be healed by physical alteration, while others needed tending so quickly that only through conjuration could she acquire all the needed components in time. And for moving through the more perilous regions of the Oak, nothing proved more effective than cloaking herself in the dense shadows of the canopy.

I feel like it occurred to her after living among other species for a few years that those who ate certain things seemed more capable and lively, while those who indulged in drink and ate too much meat were slower, more mature in the lines of their faces regardless of actual age. It was by studying this matter further that she stumbled into becoming a gourmand. The better healthy food tasted, the more likely one was to eat it! She considers Nita a powerful ally of public health and visits Hala primarily to stock up on ingredients for potions and meals alike. The werewolf is her go-to person for explanations of each new spice’s qualities, as the world outside the forest has a much greater variety. As a general rule, Aaliyah is eager to listen to anyone more experienced than her in any respect.

Aaliyah is very talkative and ready to share most of her ideas. Her opinions on the monarchy are still developing after a few years of life outside the Oak. King Nathaniel has never touched the Oak or posed it a threat, and that is her primary concern. Still, the forest expanded with speed, almost urgency, ever outward as if on the march. Her neutrality is delicate as she prepares to take whatever side Gaia favors. In spite of herself, she feels uneasy in the company of vampires (“The dead aren’t meant to walk…”).

◆ Interview Questions ◆

Please copy and paste each question along with your answer. Must be in first person, present tense, no minimum length required.

(1) How much time have you spent in the Gardens?

“Oh,” she started, clearly pleased by the question, “So much time, I couldn’t really begin to quantify it. It’s a divine place, not of this world, and near impossible to find” she paused for effect “unless you’ve the nose for it. The scent of the moonrose - too blue to call blue, too fragrant to smell with your nose alone - pierces your very skin as you grow closer to the garden’s edge. But only those that have known it once before can ever know it again, and the first time is always an accident.”

(2) Do you believe any species shouldn’t be extended your kindness when it comes to healing?

“I don’t bear any ill will to any species, I assure you - not even mermaids. All beings have their ways: swallows fly south when the winds grow cold; foxes will always chase rabbits; and moss will always grow wherever it wills.” There was an obvious “but” waiting on the fringes of her words. “We of the Mighty Oak also have our ways. We protect our own, and we respect the balance of life and death. There are circumstances where death is what’s called for to maintain that balance…”

◆Writing Sample:◆

Hastily sitting between her mother’s legs, Aaliyah tucked into her celebratory meal: spit-roasted carrots glazed in sycamore sap; dandelion greens mixed with cherries and figs still coated in dew; a plump leg of hare seasoned with crow garlic, angelica seed, and cloveroot; and a goat’s horn-full of tea brewed from apple blossoms and rain water. Her mother chided her to slow her pace and take care not to spill a drop of the precious drink. “Yes, mum,” she replied shortly, a tad embarrassed but no less famished.

A roaring bonfire towered at the center of a clearing often used for coven observances. The dead were honored there, the newborn welcomed there, and new masters confirmed there. It was a rare, shining place in the Hallowed Oak, unconcealed by thick canopy, where sun and moonlight could touch their entire fold. The whole of the Mighty Oak - elder and younger, mages and even kin whose magic never manifested - gathered tonight in honor of the full moon rain. Each drop that fell to earth on the glowing mother’s watch was sacred and a powerful component for spellcraft. On this night, and only this night, everyone was allowed to drink from the collected reserve.

Aaliyah remembered where she’d been before hurrying back to join the water collection effort, which was exactly where she shouldn’t have been. The still-forming girl’s long limbs had carried her up the branches of a beech tree so tall that she had to climb a different tree to reach its first branch. Although she was at least strong enough to hoist her own weight, this deciduous tower put her endurance to the test.

If she could just take one small peek above the treeline, her hunt for the faes’ moving garden would bear fruit at last. This was a dangerous way to go about finding it, but her elders insisted she must “discover it for herself” - and she was running out of ideas. Her cloak and fox mask rested meters below, tucked neatly between two massive roots. Her thick, dark hair was braided around her wand to keep both safely out of the way. Her body collected light scratches and bruises on the way up - nothing compared to what would happen if she didn’t take each step with assurance.

The young mage was breathless when her head emerged atop the canopy. There was plenty of height left to the beech tree, but there was no need to venture higher. While Aaliyah caught her breath, near-black eyes scanned the new world ruled by sky and great mountains afloat a sea of green. Her desperation to spot anything out of the ordinary was quelled by the beauty that spread out before her. It was a strange feeling, looking down at the entirety of your own world.

Okay but moonrose has me in a chokehold right now. 

They start out as complete strangers. Remus sees Evan as another posh, fancy pureblood who happens to be friends with Sirius's little brother. Evan sees Remus as some backwater, halfblooded jerk who happens to be friends with Regulus's older sibling. 

In 3rd year though, they realize they are both freaks (not like that ya weirdo). Evan keeps this freaky, anatomy like notebook. Has writing upon writing of bones, organs, surgeries, human decay, etc. Remus, on the other hand, has a fascination with human disease, sickness, and insects for some reason and keeps notes and research about it in a notebook. Coincidently in similar looking notebooks. They end up switching and returning. They realize their interests are kind of similar and meet up in the library. They journal, research, and bounce interesting (read: morbid and kind of messed up) ideas and thoughts off of each other. They don’t mean to keep it hidden, just never comes up around others. 

In 5th year, they both get chosen to be Prefects for their respective houses. They get to attend the meetings held every month for the Prefects, see each other at night to do rounds, etc. They grow closer and around Christmas, they both realize, oh shit, he's a freak like me and hot, why is it hot? Then proceed to do nothing about it, as one does obviously. 

While both are oblivious to each other's feelings, they aren't oblivious to their friends' feelings. Remus tells Evan about James's incessant whining and pinning over Regulus to which Evan laughs and shares that he's tired of Regulus pretending he doesn't have a fat old crush on one James Potter. They plan, they scheme (using certain perks of being Prefects) and low and behold, within a month, James and Regulus are dating. 

You'd think this wakes them up, but no. Now when 6th year hits, instead of James and Regulus, Evan is dealing with Barty and his very obvious sexual tension with his acclaimed academic rival Lily Evans. Remus finds this hilarious because he's been hearing about one Bartemius Crouch stealing and fighting for his friend's top marks for years now. So, obviously, they make another plan. And, just as last time, Lily and Barty are going out in 2 months. 

7th year rolls around and moonrose is crushing hard. Eventually, Barty and Reg corner Evan and tell him that he's stupid and to confess to the fucker that he's been pining over (or something like that, Evan was distracted). After this, Evan pulls away slightly from Remus only to realize, fuck, I am so in love with him. He immediately plans something and asks Remus out in the weirdest, freakiest way that is so insanely them. Complete with inside jokes and morbid anatomy and disease facts.  

Every one of their friend is disgusted and confused but Remus is grinning like Evan handed him a literal star. So they let it slide. Did they have any idea the two knew each other or were friends? Nope. Does it strangely work for them? Yes, absolutely. 

Just ahhhhhhhhhhhh moonrose, my little freaks and weirdos
