Destiny is all - Osferth x female!reader, Part 1

Summary: You are Finan's sister. You live in a village in Scotland, near the border with Northumbria. You lead a quiet life until your brother decides to visit you with his boys and your life changes completely.

Pairing: Osferth x fem!reader

Author’s note: Hey you (:

Now I am finally sharing my little Osferth story with you. The events are a little different from the story in the series. (No, Osferth will not die either). I hope you will enjoy it! English is my second language, please forgive me if I made any mistakes (:

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

The sun, which has been high in the sky all day, is slowly tilting towards the earth. Four men ride silently side by side. Every now and then an exhausted grunt can be heard. As soon as the grunt is silenced, it is usually answered with another grunt. They have been riding like this for days now. Uhtred, Finan, Sihtric and Osferth are on their way from the northernmost point in Scotland back to Wessex.

The men are exhausted by the long distance they have already covered on horseback. The not very restful nights they have already spent in various forests do not diminish their exhaustion.

"Lord. We could spend the night in a village today," Finan says after another grunt.

Uhtred turns slightly in Finan's direction, "If we ride through the night, we should be in Northumbria by tomorrow"

"But Lord… We should stop and rest. I'm tired of the sight of my horse's head... his ears in particular," Osferth chimes in.

Sihtric turns to Uhtred as well, "I wouldn't say no either"

Osferth continues to nod in agreement.

Uhtred sighs, "Very well… The next village is headed for"

"We would have a place to sleep there for sure too," Finan says to Uhtred with a grin. Uhtred sees Finan's grin and becomes curious.

"Do you have a sweetheart up here?" asks Uhtred with raised eyebrows.

"Not exactly. My family lives there and we could sleep and eat there"

"What? I thought you were from Ireland," Osferth looks at him questioningly.

Finan nods, "We're originally from Ireland. But my parents moved over with me and my sister"

Uhtred just shakes his head with a smile.

The men rode on again in silence. Every now and then a grunt can be heard. But it was a done deal, they were on their way to Finan's family.

You stand in front of your little house. The evening sun shines on your face and you enjoy it. You close your eyes for a moment. Your little house is located on the edge of a village, near the forest. You enjoy the peace and quiet that the location offers you, and that you can let your gaze wander into the forest at any time as soon as the hustle and bustle of the village becomes too much for you. Slowly you open your eyes again and take a deep breath. You still want to water the flower bed before you retire for the evening. As you put the bucket down, you hear noises in the forest behind you. You turn around, but in the twilight you can't really see if anyone is there. Out of habit, you reach for the dagger tucked under the skirt of your dress.

"Who is there?" you ask in a firm voice.

But instead of an answer, you only hear the rustling of the bushes at the edge of the forest.

Suddenly a Dane steps out of the forest and you instinctively hold up your dagger. You are ready to defend yourself. Your breath catches in your throat, but the Dane just grins at you. "Finan! I didn't know that your parents can also produce something beautiful", the Dane says.

Finan? How does he know your brother...?

"Aye! Lord! Shut up!", Finan suddenly stands next to the Dane. Your lungs fill with air again as you see your brother smiling at you from a short distance away.

You don't hesitate for long. "Finan!" you shout and run towards him. You throw your arms around his neck. He wraps his arms tightly around you.

"Heey... my little one," he says softly and presses you closer to him.

You sob a little. He loosens the embrace and takes your face in his hands, "Ey... y/n.... If I had known ya missed me so much, I would have stopped by sooner," he smiles at you. You wipe tears from your face and have to laugh for a moment.

"What are ya doing here?" you finally ask your brother.

"We're just passing through and I thought we were due for a visit"

Only now do you become aware and remember the Dane. But when you look behind Finan, you see two other men standing there. But your gaze immediately falls on the blond monk. However, he immediately averts his gaze from you when he realises that he has been caught staring. Now you notice another Dane. Somehow you seem to like this mixture of the troupe. Finan turns around as well, "Sorry y/n. This is Uhtred, Sihtric and our baby Monk, Osferth"

You notice the monk giving Finan a warning look. The Danes, on the other hand, give you a friendly nod. Finan turns back to you, "Where are mother and father? Are they in the house? We are starving!" Finan is all euphoric.

You gently touch his forearm, "Finan...", you speak softly. He looks at you, but you only shake your head slightly.

"What...?" he whispers, sadness crossing his face.

"The fever took them last winter... First mother, then father..." you whisper.

He shakes his head slightly now too and you wrap your arms around him. After a short silence, you hear Finan murmur into your hair, "You're here all alone?"

You nod, "That must be enough for you now"

He just nods slowly and you can still see the sadness in his face.

You smile up at him, "Come, let's go into the house... I've put on some soup"

Together you go into the house. The men sit down at the table and you serve them the soup. There is not much talking at first, as they simply enjoy the warm meal. When they have finished, you prepare ale for everyone. Light conversation now fills the room. Osferth tries to comfort Finan, to say something nice about your parents. But Finan doesn't want to hear about it at the moment. After a while you take the dagger, which is again under your skirt and presses uncomfortably against your thigh, and put it on the table.

"Feisty... You always carry a dagger with you?", the Dane, Uhtred asks you. You look at him a little amused, "Men sometimes don't understand what 'no' means. So it can't hurt to have something with you to back up your opinion"

Uhtred grins and raises his cup "I'm afraid that's true"

You grin at him and join him in a toast.

When there is a knock at the door, you get up and go over. You open the door and your good mood is immediately dampened.

"Edward... what do ya want here?" you ask, a little annoyed. Alarmed by your tone, Finan looks at the door. From the door, there is no view of the table and so Edward does not notice that he is now being overheard by four guys.

"Y/n... I thought... maybe you'd like some company tonight...?"

He is visibly drunk and grinning at you.

"No, Edward. I told you the other day that it wasn't going to happen again"

Finan's expression darkens.

"Oh come on... Don't you miss it...?" he winks at you.

"What would she miss?"

You startle a little as Finan suddenly stands behind you. Edward looks startled too and just stammers around. Words like "nothing" and "just making sure everything is okay" leave his mouth.

"Good. And do not worry, everything is fine here," Finan lets Edward know as he closes the door.

You look at him indignantly, "Finan! I can handle it myself!"

He just walks back to the table and takes a big gulp of ale. You stand in the room a little speechless. You look at Finan and shoot daggers at him. But Finan continues to stand with his back to you and does not look at you.

Sihtric and Uhtred just grin and look at each other. But you notice Osferth looking at you again. He is probably shocked that a woman would seek the company of a man even though she is not married. You sigh softly and go back to the table. You sit down and shake your head slightly.

Finan looks at you again, "What...? You're my sister. I'll always look out for ya. And... the last time I was here, ya liked Edward, didn't ya?"

"I did," you emphasise, "Until I found him between another woman's thighs"

Osferth chokes on his ale and you look at him somewhat amused. He has to grin now, too, and he wipes the ale running down his chin with his hand. You have to chuckle a little, but somehow you like the sight.

But Finan turns your attention back to himself, "He did what? That bastard... Let me go to him..." Finan is about to get up, but you pull him down by his arm.

"No... There's no need for that. That's done and in the past. Really," you smile at him, but Finan doesn't really look convinced.

He just grumbles something to himself and drinks from his ale. You stroke his arm gently.

The later the hour gets, the louder the conversations become. You laugh a lot and talk to each other across the table. You enjoy having your brother and his friends with you. At some point, Uhtred has persuaded you to show him how you can defend yourself against men with your hands if you don't have your dagger with you. But it always ends up with Uhtred putting his arm around your neck from behind or you just giggle and somehow try to bring Uhtred down.

Eventually you sit down at the table again. You are still a little out of breath when Osferth, who is now sitting next to you, addresses you directly, "Lady... isn't it dangerous for a woman to live here alone?"

Uhtred interjects, "Well... if the possible attacker just stands still and doesn't fight back, then y/n has a chance to defend herself," Uhtred grins at you.

But you do not answer Uhtred, instead you kick him under the table.

Uhtred laughs as you turn back to Osferth, smiling.

You look at him curiously now, "Would it be safer for a woman somewhere else?"

He scratches the back of his neck, "Well... if you were at least in company... and there was no Edward lurking outside your door"

You have to chuckle a little and notice a smile forming around his lips too as it dawns on you. "Ooh yes! I'll come with ya"

Now Finan chokes on his ale and Uhtred grins again. As he calms down, he looks at you, "No way. You're safer here than being out with us"

"Finan!" you utter indignantly, but he just shakes his head.

When Sihtric speaks up, "Honestly, she's probably safer with the four of us. There's no one here to look after her"

Uhtred nods slowly in conviction.

"And if we go into battle?", Finan looks slightly overwhelmed.

"Then of course I won't be there. Then I'll cook you dinner in the meantime... Or keep the bed warm," you answer with a grin. As a sister, you know what drives Finan up the wall.

He gives you a warning look and continues to shake his head, "That's not funny... and that's out of the question"

He stands up and goes outside to pee.

Now you shake your head and stand up.

"Guys... It's late... I'm going to sleep now. This will not end well here otherwise"

Sihtric and Uhtred nod at you. Osferth smiles slightly at you, "Good night lady y/n" and you return his smile.

When Finan returns, he sees that you have gone to bed. He sighs and sits back down at the table with the boys. Uhtred's gaze is on Finan, "You know it would be the right decision. She's here all alone, and I'm sure Edward's not the only one knocking on her door"

Finan gives him a warning look.

"I'm just saying. Your parents aren't here anymore, she has no one here to look after her. And with us, she'd have four men by her side looking after her", Uhtred continues

Silence now reigns at the table as the boys continue to drink their ale. Until Finan just nods and gets up from the table again. "Okay... But if even one of ya tries to hit on my sister..." he adds warningly before disappearing into an adjacent room.

The next morning you come out of your chamber. Three men lie on furs on the floor. Light snoring fills the room. You leave the house and go into the garden behind it. Everything is still quiet, a few birds are chirping. You watch as the sun slowly rises and makes the shadows of the forest look less threatening.

Suddenly Finan is standing next to you. You are startled and flinch briefly.

"Holy Lord! Finan!", you lightly punch his arm. He says nothing, but smiles slightly. He also looks in the direction of the sunrise.

"Ya can come with us. Although I know it's dangerous for ya to accompany us... But I also have to admit that it's probably more dangerous for ya to stay here alone..."

You smile at him.

Slowly he looks in your direction, "Ya have to listen to me though"

You grin at him, "I never have Finan"

Around the World Part 6

Hello! And welcome to another chapter of this very underrated fic. Thank you to everyone who has given it love in the way of comments, reblogs/tags, and likes.

It's London calling! And we meet a Murray Bauman in the wild. Eddie and Steve get a little introspective and Steve does something rash.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5

Their trip through the haunting and beautiful Ireland was amazing. So many tales and history. This is why Steve wanted to do more than just America like Eddie had originally wanted, because America just didn’t have the history Europe and other places did. Not unless you wanted to disturb actual First Nation people and that was something he wanted to avoid at all cost, thank you.

They were on the ferry from Northern Ireland to Scotland and Steve was looking out over his shoulder at the water as he leaned against the guardrail. He tilted his head back and closed his eyes, allowing the wind to blow through his hair.

Eddie slid his arm around him and Steve laid his head on his shoulder.

Today Eddie had his beard and faux-dreadlocks in a light blue button up shirt and cream colored wide-legged pants. His chunky sunglasses covered the his face.

“You know,” Eddie murmured, “until we reached this leg of our journey and you started to disguise me, I didn’t realize how much I missed just being Eddie Munson, regular guy. I can really see the appeal of you and friends’ way of doing it.”

“Yeah,” Steve said softly. “Of course it means that we can’t go all out and buy everything we want, stay in fancy hotels, show up at restaurants without a reservation and get in. But I can go into my local grocery store and buy two tubs of mint ice cream because I felt like it.” He lifted his head to look Eddie in the eye. “Like some Karen would judge me, but it’s not going to go up on TMZ that I’m letting myself go.”

God, Eddie had had that happen more times than he cared to count. Like once Chrissy was on her period and he went to go get her chocolate, Ben and Jerry’s, and pads. Before he even got to his car it was all over the internet that he was letting himself go, just because it was 2am and his best friend needed something to help her feel better.

“You think you’ll ever come out?” he asked, pulling Steve in closer.

It was a familiar and well-worn topic of theirs; whether or not Steve would ever come out as bisexual at least.

He ducked his head and looked away. He didn’t know. He didn’t like hiding parts of himself for those he loved. He would like to tell people this is the love of my life.

“Would you leave me if I said no?” he mumbled, not daring to look up.

Eddie placed his finger under Steve’s chin and lifted his head gently. “Of course not, Stevie. There are literal actors who have been married for years and no one knows. It’s just between them. We could do that too. Just a quiet ceremony, Robin and Chrissy as the witnesses, and a justice of the peace.”

Steve let out a weak sort of watery laugh and shook his head. “I want all our friends there, famous and otherwise. I want a full tilt party with music playing into the early hours of the morning. I want fancy tuxes and flowers galore. I know I might not get that, the absolute coward that I am. But if I marry you, it be to scream from the rooftops that I love you.”

Eddie bumped their shoulders together. “Softy.” Steve blushed. “Besides there is nothing in the world that says we can’t have it both ways. Have a quiet little ‘just us’ and then go full tilt when you come out. You don’t even have to tell anyone. Just a little comfort that I’m not going anywhere.”

Steve pressed a gentle kiss to Eddie’s cheek. “I’ll think about it.”

Eddie kissed him deeply and then tucked his head under his chin and they stayed like that until the ferry docked in Scotland.

God, Scotland and England were beautiful countries Eddie decided as he watched the rolling green hills from his train window. That was another thing he really liked about Europe in general, just all the different ways to travel that weren’t a car.

He looked over at Steve who had his glasses on and reading a book. He smiled at the title. His boyfriend wasn’t a fantasy fan or science fiction either, really, but put a clever mystery in his hands and you would have to pry to the book from his cold, dead fingers.

He glanced over at Chrissy and Robin who were playing Go Fish! They had asked him if he wanted to join them, but he passed. He rarely got time to just relax and watch the scenery go by when he was on tour. He was always doing something related to the band. Writing music, practicing, talking about the next venue, interview, or TV spot.

Him and his friends had fun, because of course they did. But it was nice to just let his mind wander. Currently he was sad that they were going to have to miss Wales this time. He really wanted to buy some Welsh gold jewelry. It’s super rare and absolutely gorgeous.

Maybe he would have to come back later and get something special for Steve. Just something simple like matching bands even if it wasn’t on the left hand. Or necklaces. Just something simple to prove they were it for each other.

“I made an appointment with a well-known tattoo artist in London,” Steve said nonchalant, but like he was reading Eddie’s thoughts.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to Steve. Robin nearly giving herself whiplash in her speed.

“As your friend, manager, and platonic soulmate,” she said darkly, “I advise against that. You can cover it up but someone, somewhere will see it.”

Steve looked up from his book and leveled her with his best bitchy glare. “Not if it’s on my ass.”

Chrissy and Eddie’s eyebrows shot up and they shared a shocked glance. Eddie always loved tattoos, he had a couple of stick and poke style ones from when he was young and stupid and couldn’t afford to pay for an artist to do the job, but there was one place, well technically two if you included his dick, which he absolutely did, that he refused to get a tattoo on and that was his ass. Not being able to sit down properly for what would probably be weeks was not his idea of a good time.

“Not really, though, right?” Chrissy asked with a grimace.

Steve took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose. “Of course not really. Sheesh, you guys. But I hid fucking hickies from the both of you for a year and you never noticed, so I’m pretty sure I can hide one fucking tattoo.”

Robin and Chrissy shared their little ‘manager’ glance and Chrissy folded first.

“You’re right, Steve,” she said calmly. “Not once did you forget or slip up and you should be applauded for that. But is there a reason you’re deciding to get a tattoo now instead of waiting until we’re back in the States and you can use Eddie’s personal artist?”

He looked over at Robin and their little telepathy thing went off again and this time Robin folded first.

“It’s for Eddie,” she murmured. “They can’t be out as a couple and with Steve being the romantic that he is, wouldn’t want to get married without all his friends there, so this is his way of telling Eddie he isn’t going anywhere either.”

Eddie blinked for a moment. “Do you think they take walk-ins?”

“I booked it for both of us.” Steve smiled at him and took his hand. Eddie beamed back at him.

“They are so disgustingly cute,” Robin huffed, crossing her arms. “I bet Steve has this really sweet idea for a tattoo that even if people do notice it they won’t be able to tell the meaning but he and Eddie will know and be so sickeningly precious about it.”

Eddie gave him a huge kiss on the cheek. “I love my super clever boyfriend and can’t wait to see what this brilliant plan is.”

Steve’s brilliant plan was half of a white mask on Eddie’s inner wrist and half of guitar on Steve’s and when they held hands it formed almost heart.

The tattoo artist was really impressed with the idea and was more than happy to implement it. Steve walked out of there, completely smug as Chrissy pointed out. Deservedly so.

They were to stay in London for three days because of all the haunted places in London alone, there were so many worth visiting. They were going to start at Jack the Ripper tour and move onto the tour of London.

The tour they learned with deep dismay had accidentally been scheduled at 2pm and not 2am like Eddie had thought it said. It was so boring and their tour guide so dull, Eddie accidentally tripped of one of those concrete pillars they had in the middle of the sidewalk to prevent cars from driving up on it.

“Oof!” Eddie wheezed as he straightened up. “Why do they even put those things here?”

“Chrissy Cunningham,” a nasally voice said from behind them. “What are you doing in my neck of the woods?”

They all turned slowly to see a weaselly little bald man with thick horn-rimmed glass.

“Holy shit,” Chrissy said slowly. “Murray Bauman, as I live and breath. What the hell are you doing in London?”

He shrugged. “Eking out a living doing tours for bored tourists. When the biggest metal band in the world drops you, so does everyone else.”

Chrissy and Eddie shared a grimace. Corroded Coffin had deliberately did that to Nancy after the shit she pulled with Steve and trying to be The Fallen’s agent. But this one was a complete accident.

“Oh fuck off,” Robin said with a grin. “You love it. I can tell. You have actual notes written down, you have a map marked with all the spots the murders take place. I bet you have all the great stories.”

Murray flushed and cocked his head to the side. “I mean I didn’t want to brag. But yeah, certainly better than Molly over there.” He jutted his thumb at their tour guide. “Most of the good ones are from tour companies and then you get people like Molly who make it look legit online and trick people into taking day tours.”

“God, I was so bored,” Eddie huffed, shoving his hands into his pockets, “I felt jet lagged.”

Murray’s eyes instantly narrowed and cocked his head to the side and instantly everyone else tensed up. He took in their reactions and mimed zipping his mouth shut.

“I’ll tell you what,” he said, “if you’re still in town tomorrow, meet me here at 9pm and I’ll give you a proper tour.”

Chrissy licked her lips slowly. “Or what?”

“Huh?” He was confused for a moment before he smacked his forehead. “Oh! No, no. I’m not going to blackmail you. Holy shit. If people want to enjoy a vacation without all the publicity, good on them.” He looked Eddie up and down. “Looks good on you kid.”

Eddie was suddenly glad for the large sunglasses and beard because it hid the blush on his cheeks.

“No, I’m just saying,” Murray continued, “that if you wanted to experience a proper Jack the Ripper tour, I’m willing to do it. I don’t have a tour currently booked and beside I like her.” He pointed at Robin, who grinned back him.

The four them all shared glances at each other.

“I’m down,” Steve said with a shrug. “If you’re as good as you say you are and aren’t trying to actively ‘get back’ at Chrissy for taking your job, I know I’d be interested in seeing what Whitechapel has to offer after dark.”

“I like him too,” Murray said brightly, rubbing his hands together. “So what do the rest of you say?”

“Aye, aye, Captain!” Steve’s three menaces said together.

He just smiled fondly and shook his head.

Note

just came across your excellent post of quotes about the lennon-mccartney rivalry! there's sooooooo much to unpack there, but i was especially struck by your tags and hoping you could say more:

paul thrived with someone to compete against but it hurt john a lot and seemed to wear him down#i personally believe it's the number 1 cause of the breakdown of their relationship and the breakup itself#because it lead to john stacking his deck with allies like yoko and klein and looking for his own niches to succeed in without paul there

Well that's just my armchair psychoanalysis of John haha, I think he had some seriously debilitating (and mostly unwarranted) insecurities in general and particularly in regards to Paul. Their rivalry was always present but as long as their relationship was in a good place, they were working closely together and John could consider himself top dog, it was a positive motivating force for both of them and they could share the glory. But then Paul became increasingly independent (musically, artistically and socially), started churning out A-sides at a pace John struggled to match, and competing with Paul stopped being fun and was more of a source of unhappiness and stress. Then something happened (in India or around that time) that caused him to feel worthless and humiliated, while Paul was just fine, recently engaged, etc. If you're John Lennon and you've developed an inferiority complex along with a fear of being left behind or surpassed, what do you do? You strengthen your position with people like Yoko (a stalker with artistic cred who was willing to spend every moment with him) and Klein (a John guy who flattered him and made it clear he saw John as the boss), so you've got security and support. You free yourself from the pressure to compete with Paul in music by finding different ways to stand out, like politics and art. Then you're in a position where you don't need Paul and you don't need to beat him. You try to get some power back by provoking him with Yoko related antics and threatening a divorce you don't necessarily plan to follow through on - all he has to do to get you back is submit to your demands, then you have your top dog status back and you know he loves you enough to give you that. After all, when Ringo quit he got wooed back with flowers. When George quit, he got enough leverage to make changes to how they worked. But instead, Paul retreats to Scotland, inadvertently announces the breakup, then sues you. So you publicly rage about it and are deeply hurt for the rest of your life, even thought he technically just gave you what you asked for. Few journalists or authors bother to question this and just accept that you were too good for the Beatles and were bored by them and that's why the group broke up. The end.

Anyway hope that all made sense <3

Hivy, This is Ivy!

Throughout my time on Tumblr one of my favourite things to do has been to create hypothetical Minecraft updates, I've done this twice before with The Pigeon update and The Pond Update, but a few weeks ago I let you lot chose what geographic area I should turn into a hypothetical update

Yall chose Celtic Europe (and Oceania but that's for later) AKA, Ireland, Scotland, Whales and Cornwall. I was very glad with this outcome as I myself am Scottish and I had a lot of ideas for this…..too many ideas…. So many ideas that I had to cut an entire section and now some stuff feels barebones….whoops. (but hey now I can work on a full portion update later…yay.)

But, enough of that, let's move on to:

The Fae Update!

New Biomes + Structures

There are 6 new biomes in this hypothetical update, each referring a different local found in celtic europe these are: The White Cliffs,The Glacial Pass, The Wisteria Forrest The Heather Moorlands/Peat Bogs (take your pick), The Highland Forests, and… you'll see ;3

The White Cliffs

The White Cliffs are a new coastal biome, consisting of grass topped cliffs, sandy bays and rock structures jutting out of the water. Suspicious sand and gravel generates naturally here and loot from it follows the fishing loot table, though with an increased chance to find nautilus shells and a rare chance to find sniffer eggs

This biome is based on the White Cliffs of Dover and the Jurassic Coast

The White Cliffs has only three new features:

Puffins

A new passive abiant mob, they drop Feathers when killed. Instead of the normal birds nest (introduced in the pigeon update) puffins lay there eggs in “wall nests” grey nests that attach to walls, these can be used as a decorative block

Seagulls

A neutral mob who drops Feathers and fish when killed, they spawn both in the White Cliffs and on beaches and open Seas. Seagulls will attack the player if they are holding any food item in their hand, stealing it.

Seagulls serve no other purpose.

Chalk

Chalk is a new stone block. It has the blast resistance of wood and is exclusive to the white cliffs, making up the cliffs themselves.

Chalk can be dyed any of the dye colours in the game, creating a softer, more Pastel variant of that colour (queers rejoice). Chalk can be made into slabs, stairs and walls in the stone cutter.

The Glacial Pass

A cold mountainous biome, the Glacial past is mainly made of stone and deeplate, with ice and snow also being common. Dipstone spikes can be found here as well as gravel structures resembling Eskers and Terminal Moraines (yes my favourite subject is geography how can you tell?). Suspicious gravel can be found here as well as suspicious snow, which can also be found in the igloo. Strays, Polar Bears, Foxes and Rabbits Spawn in this environment

This biome is based on glaciated uplands

Seals

Seals can be found in all cold environments. Seals will follow the player when they swim, upon coming on to land Seals will bob in the afternoon expectantly.

Seals can be fed fish, clapping after this is done

Seals drop blubber when killed. Blubber can be crafted into blubber blocks, when lit on fire these blocks burn light yellow. Blubber can be used to make torches, lanterns and campfires.

Blubber can also be crafted into a chest plate, the blubber chest plate reduces projectile damage and prevents Frost damage in powdered snow, but it slows you down while on land

The Wisteria Forest

A replacement for the old flower Frocester, this is a rare forrest in which all natural flowers spawn

Purified water (a type of water introduced in the pond update that can cure harmful status effects and restore hunger permanently for a short time) would spawn here too, as well as unicorns and kelpies (introduced in the pond update, will be discussed later)

Other Mobs that Spawn here will be discussed later

Wisteria Trees

Wisteria trees are a new wood type. The wood itself is a pale green with a purplish grey bark. Wisteria leaves are pale lavender. Wisteria trees also have hanging leave variants, much like willow leaves (pond update) that grow in the same way as glow berries

Butterflies and Moths

Passive ambient mobs that spawn in all biomes, though moths are most common in dark oak forests and butterflies are most common here. Both come in many colours, much like tropical fish. These mobs are as large as the bees (traditional dictates that all Minecraft arthropods must be massive, also yes bane of arthropods works on these, but do you actually care?)

Butterflies and Moths drop their respective wings when killed, these can be grafted onto the elytra (using the dragonfly carapace, an mob drop from the dragon fly as introduced in the pond update, speaking of that, the Toad from that update will also eat Moths and Butterflies) grafting these wings on changes the electable texture to resemble the wings of these Mobs (Note: despite both having many textures the electric will always adopt The Lunar Moth and Monarch Butterfly texture respectively)

Crann Bethadh Sprout

The sprout of a legendary tree, this is a two tall plant with ever changing leaf colours, shifting throughout all the pastel colour variants

The player can take a cutting of this plant using shears

This plant can only be dug up by the sniffer

Flower Crowns

By combining any 4 flowers in a circular pattern in the crafting table players can make flower crowns. Flower crowns adopt the colours of whatever flowers were used to craft it. Flower crowns can be worn on the head and serve no purpose other than to make people look pretty ;3

Wisteria Grass

Wisteria grass is a new grass type block that is pale lavender. It behaves the same as grass. It is only found in the Wisteria forest

The Heather Moorlands

Heather Moorlands are made up of water, grass, mud and a new block. No trees and few other plants spawn here, but cattails, reeds (pond update), sea grass and lily pads would be common here.

Bogs would spawn here

Toads, Frogs and Dragonflies would spawn here

Heather Moorlands are based on….Heather Moorlands.

Peat

Peat is a new powered snow-like block. It is brown in colour and makes up most of the ground in the Heather moorlands. Any plant can be planted on it.

Falling through peat takes notably longer than it does for powdered snow, players cannot freeze in peat, only suffocate. Peat can be safely traversed with leather boots.

When broken, peat will break into Peat Logs, peat logs can be burned in the furnace as an effective fuel

When lit on fire, Peat burns Bright Red, peat logs can be used to make peat lanterns, campfires and torches.

Combining 4 peat logs together makes a peat block, smelting a peat block creates Hardened Peat. Harmed peat can be made into Smooth Peat, Chiselled Peat, Peat Bricks, Cut Peat, Peat Pillar and Peat Tiles

Gortach

The Gortach are a new Undead mob. They spawn in swamps and peat bogs and resemble Bog bodies. They hide in dirt, mud, sand, gravel and peat and jump out of the ground to attack.

Gortach inflicts poison with their attacks. Gortach can carry swords, axes, and spears

Gortach drop their weapon, peat logs or Rotten flesh when killed

Spears

Spears are crafted either with one iron ingot and two sticks in a diagonal pattern, or are dropped by the Gortach

Spears are weaker than the sword but have a better reach, can be thrown (though this isn't good for their durability) and completely bypass shields and armour, hitting the opponent as if they had nothing at all

Spears have all the same enchantments as the Sword + Loyalty

Heather

Heather is a new purple flower exclusive to the Heather Moorlands. It gives purple dye when ground up.

The Highland Forest

Made up of rolling hills and Birch trees, all normal passive Mobs can spawn here, but sheep, goats,bees and cows are most common. All normal hostile Mobs can spawn here

Loch Lurkers (a rare UnderWater horse-like mob from the pond update) also spawn in the lakes here

Birch Updates

Yep. This is a secret Birch forest update.

A new form of Birch tree “Silver Birch” that grows much taller and has yellow leaves can be found here. This form gets its own sapling

The Birch block would also get a minor update to make the black segments more like stripes and not ugly blobs

Leave Updates, Packed Leaves and Thatching

Players and Mobs can now walk and fall through leaves.

When breaking leaves with anything other than shears or silk touch leaf blocks will drop leaf items (except wisteria and Spruce, which drop Petals and Needles)

By placing 9 of these in the crafting bench the player can create packed leaves, a new solid version of the leaf block

Thatching is a new block of greyish colour that is crafted with 6 wheat on the top and bottom and 3 leaves of any type in the centre of the crafting bench. Thatching looks the same as a Hale Bale, only without the string holding it together.

Goosegrass, Nettles, and Thistle

Goosegrass is a plant that grows in any forest, but is most common in the Highlands. Walking through goosegrass results in it sticking to you, taking up one of your unoccupied armour slots and slowing you down. Walking through it at all also slows you down, much like cobwebs, making this plant dangerous when fighting mobs

Nettles can only spawn in Dark oak and Highland forests. Nettles stay low to the ground, if they are walked on by a player they are inflicted with Poison. Nettles can be collected and made into a healthy soup

Thistles are a new type of two high flowers. They can be ground into purple dye. They hurt the player if walker through

Deer

Deer are a new mob found in all forested environments, much like Wolf's they have different textures depending on the biome

When killed, Deers drop Venison, a new edible meat

Like Goats, Deers will try to charge the player. Also like Goats, after hitting a block deer will drop and antler

Fog

Fog is a new weather type, lowering the amount the player can see for a short time and allowing a few Mobs to spawn, particularly endermen

Shelf Fungus

A new decorative block that grows on trees

Wildcats

Wildcats are a new ambient Mob, they share a model with Ocelots and Cats and they drop string when killed

The Mushroom Grotto

Oh yes. A new forest of giant mushrooms and mycelium. This biome is very rare. The Mobs that Spawn here will be discussed later

Mushroom Wood

Much like the nether mushrooms, overworld mushrooms are now a woodtype. The mushroom stem can be stripped and converted into all wood blocks. Mushroom wood is white in colour.

New Mushrooms

Yep. There is now a mushroom for every colour of dye in the game. Mushrooms can also now be ground into dye

Here's what all those mushrooms could look like (minus brown and red of course):

(Note: this is based on design, not colour)

Before moving on, sniffers don't just get the Crann Bethadh Sprout. They get a new plant for every dye type in the game

Plus, they can dig up two new mushrooms exclusive to them, when ground these mushrooms become two new dye types… Well, not quite. They Become Rose Dye and Spring Green Dye, the two removed wool colours. This is the only way to get these mushrooms and these dyes. This would make the sniffer more worth the work put in to get one and create a lot of more strange decoration choices

Here's what they COULD look like (note: again, colours don't line up)

Mushroom bricks

Smelting the Mushroom blocks (not the stem, the block itself) creates mushroom bricks: multicoloured bricks taking on the patterning of the mushroom used to make them

Mushroom bricks can be made into stairs, slabs and walls

Puffball Mushrooms and Faerie Rings

Both exclusive to the mushroom forest.

Puffball mushrooms are brown in colour and are plants that stay on the ground, when walked over they release spores that inflict harmful status effects such as Poison, blindness, slowness, weakness, nausea, lethitatvia, and mining fatigue

Faerie Rings are Rings of mushrooms that take up one block on the ground (they also come in all colours)

If a player steps on one it is like they are walking through cobwebs, and upon getting out they will be inflicted with slowness.

If a mob steps in one they completely freeze and their AI is disabled until they are knocked out or the ring is broken.

This would help allow players to use Mobs as decoration without lagging there game

New Structures

Bothies

A bothy is a public structure found typically in the Highlands, there small houses for folks to take shelter in.

Bothines can spawn in any woodland biomes, they'll appear as a simple wooden house. Inside Bothies will have a chest with low level loot and a bed.

Occasionally, suspicious sand,mud, gravel or snow will spawn outside the bothy (depending on the biome), these typically have low level loot but items such as armour Trims or record disks can be dug up

Stone Works

Based on the numerous palaeolithic celtic stoneworks,these are small abiant structures spawning in the Dark Oak, Highland and Wisteria forests, as well as Heather Moorlands, Snowy Tundras, Wetlands and Mushroom Grottos

There would be many variants of these structures resembling stone circles, stone henges, standing stones, stone portals and cobbled walls.

All of these are made from base stone blocks, though sometimes other blocks can be found like chalk flooring or trees/water spawning in the centre of a stone circle

Sometimes, though rarely, these structures could spawn with a “Stone Holder” a new block that holds a tool or weapon (similar to the myth of the sword and the stone) these can be moved with silk touch. The player can remove the weapon, which will always be made of iron (that's important for later) and could have some low-level enchamtmants

Occasionally, these can also structures spawn with suspicious dirt, which can be dug up with the brush. Pottery sherds are more common in these structures, but apart from that, they exist only as set dressing ;)

Castle Ruins

A more substantial ruin, Castle Ruins can spawn basically anywhere, but are most common in Highland forests.

Castle Ruins are winding structures, they have a Dungeon below with Gortach or Bog spawners in the cells. The main ruin itself is made up of narrow passageways, imagine a smaller version of the bastion.

There would be numerous loot chests around, but upon opening one, a new mob would be summoned called a ■■■■■■

This mob will be discussed later :)

The Beast's Lair

An underground structure most common under the mountains or Highland forests

Made up of narrow passages leading to open rooms filled with gold blocks, loot chests containing riches and even some new vaults. There's also a shocking amount of skulls littered around

And of course the new boss here: The Wyvern

The Wyvern is a draconic boss mob spawning only hear, it has 4 legs and two wings and is bright red (Note: no. Wyvern never meant a dragon with only 4 limbs. That is a modern addition. Wyvern and dragons were different because of what they breathed)

The Wyvern is very powerful up close and can attack from far away with its poisonous breath

Upon its defeat the Wyvern will drop copious amounts of gold and emeralds that it ate, perhaps even some diamonds if your lucky

Faerie Mounds

Spawning exclusively in the Wisteria Forests, Highland Forests and Mushroom Grottos, these are small dirt hills with a spawner inside and a handful of loot chests

They are essentially fae Dungeons

The mobs that Spawn here will be: you guessed it, discussed later

Clochan + The Dubnos Tunnels

Clochans are typically just an abiant structures common in the Highlands, small cobblestone huts with nothing interesting about them.

But occasionally, they lead to something greater. Some of them spawn with holes leading to a second structure made up of 5 rooms, oriented in this pattern:

In the centre room are 5 stones, each baring a carving of one of the 5 element symbols (note: these are taken from the unused painting textures, with a new one added for wood), at the base of all these stones is a new kind of Vault “The Fae Vault” exclusive to this structure and the beast's lair

The carvings look like this:

The goal of this structure would be to go to each of the challenge rooms, each of with have there own stone with a carving, right click on said carving to indicate you have completed the room, and once all 4 rooms are complete return to the centre room to click on the craving that was not represented by one of the carvings in the other rooms. Getting this right results in the appearance of 5 Fae keys from the stones. These keys can be used on the fey vaults to claim the structures loot

Failure to complete the structure will be indicated by the carvings glowing Red and numerous waves of Mobs spawning

The challenge rooms each contain a challenge pertaining to their element: the fire room is filled with fire, the water room is flooded, the air room requires parkour, the earth room is a Maze and the plant room is filled with Sweet Berries, Goosegrass, Nettles, Thistles, Puffball mushrooms and Faerie Rings (yes I know mushrooms aren't plants, shush.)

On top of that, there are several spawners for the fae in this structure, with various types appearing to attack you. Though these spanners will be deactivated upon completing a room

(Note: carved stones can be moved with silk touch)

They fae Mobs that Spawn in these will be discussed later.

These structures would create unique challenges for the player and would bring more life to these biomes, encouraging exploration.

Tattoo

I just love the idea of 141 all having matching tattoos. Don't tell me they wouldn't, and a group chat that is 90% Gaz & Rosaly and 10% emoji reactions from Price and Ghost...

Summary: Simon x OC, 1.7k words. Gaz takes Rosaly to get the 'team' tattoo. First draft dribbles, tattooing inaccuracies.

Disclaimer: I have never had a tattoo, I am going off what I have seen about other people getting a tattoos, so there are bound to be inaccuracies...

Enjoy <3

Masterlist

“It’s going to hurt.” I protest to Gaz as I step out the car. He laughs.

“It’s a right of passage, you’re 141 we have to get you a tattoo. Besides I thought you’re used to working with needles?” He says.

“On other people yeah.” I say as we walk to the tattoo shop. I take a deep breath in as he opens the door. A bell rings and a woman walks round the corner she has pink and red hair her face dotted with peicings. She opens her arms and hugs Gaz.

“Lu this is Rosaly.” I put my hand out and shake it, as I do I realise how sweaty my palm is.

“Sorry,” I say wiping them on my jeans.

“Nervous?” She asks. I nod. “It’s fine you’ll barely feel it.” They take a step to a gate but my feet wont move. I feel sick, I don’t think I can do this.

“Are you sure this is not just an SAS thing cos technically I’m still navy.” I say to Gaz, he chuckles reaching for my wrist, pulling me through the gate.

“It’s definitely not just an SAS thing.” He says leading me through the shop. I see another artist working on a woman's arm she smiles at me as I pass her. The pit hasn’t gone away as Gaz sits me down in a chair. I watch as Lu swivels round on a stool with a tablet in her hands.

“So the same as the rest Kyle?” She asks.

“Yeah the initials are RW.” He says looking over at her tapping on the tablet. She spins the tablet showing me. I see the SAS crest, around it are different images, in the bottom right there a some dogtags with my initials on them, on the opposite side there is a sniper. On each side of the crest there are flags, a sottish flag on one side and the union jack on the other. Under each flag is their representative countries flower, a thistle for Scotland and a rose for Britain. I smiled looking at it.

“Now, Kyle added his medals to the space at the top of his.” Lu explains.

“Yeah and LT added his mask.” Gaz said. I looked over at the space at the top of the crest.

“How about an anchor, and rope?” I look up at Gaz he smiles. “And could I change the rose to a Yorkshire rose?” Lu nodded enthusiastically taking a stylus out and drawing on the tablet. After a few seconds she turns the tablet round.

“It looks great.” I say looking at the sketch, she nods.

“I’ll go print this off,” she says getting up. All of a sudden I was nervous again.

“So you’ve all got one? Even Price?” I ask Gaz.

“It was Price’s idea.” Gaz chuckled. “You’ve seen Simon’s right?”

“Yeah but he has lots of tattoos I thought it was just another one.” I say, the pit reforms in my stomach as I see Lu coming back with a stencil. She sit’s back down on the stool scooting towards me.

“Where do you want it?” She asks. The stencil looks bigger all of a sudden, my eyes switch to Gaz, I don’t know what to say. My mouth is just hanging open as I look between them.

“Where will it hurt the least?” I ask before I can stop myself.

“Everyone is different but your forearms or your thighs?” She shrugs.

“Thighs sounds like a good idea.” I say.

“I can put the stencil on and then we can see?” Lu says, I nod.

“Do you want to sit on the bed?” She asks. I nod forcing myself out of the chair onto the pleather bed. Lu adjusts the top of the bed so it’s not flat and pulls her stool round. I hitch my pants down to my knees. Lu looks at Gaz.

“Oh I’ve pulled bullets out him, my thigh is nothing.” I say she giggles.

“I’ll have to shave the spot,” She says taking out some shaving foam and a razor. I nod letting her do her thing. I look over at Gaz taking his phone out, holding it up to me. My eyes widen.

“You better not be taking pictures of me.” I say. He chuckles shaking his head typing something on his phone. A second later I hear my phone vibrate. I look over at the group chat seeing a notification.

“I so should have made LT bring me.” Gaz smiles.

“What do you think?” Lu asks, I look down at the blue stencil lines on my thigh. I twist my leg looking at it. It looks good, I feel myself smiling.

“I like it.” I say looking at her.

“Do you want to take a look in the mirror before we start?” I nod hopping off the bed my pants falling all the way down to my ankles. I step over to the standing mirror. I turn my body so I can see it, it’s not as big as it seemed in the bed. I could handle this, it’s not like it’s overly decorated or anything. This was a good thing, it means they really do see me as one of the team. John had one, I never saw his I wonder where he got it? I’m surprised Price was the one who came up with it, I really want to know where his was. I smile turning to Gaz who nods and gives me a thumbs up. I see Lu coming back out with a clipboard walking over to me.

“All good?” She asks. I nod and she hands me the clipboard. I look over it, it looks like a lot of legal jargon.

“It’s just consent forms and the last page is our studio’s waver.” I nod taking the pen off. I froze again, this was really it I was about to do this I took a big gulp of air in and signed the pages handing them back to her.

“Wait, sorry, can I change one more tiny little thing?” I say trying not to come across as being a pain.

“Sure,” She says smiling, okay now she is being too kind. I turn back to look in the mirror real quick.

“The dogtags, can I move them out some more so you can see them both and add some initials?” I say looking back at her, she nods.

“What initials?”

“JM,” I look at Gaz who is still smiling.

“Yeah sure, I can draw that in, hop up on the bed I’ll be back in a second.” I nod walking back to lie on the bed looking at Gaz.

“Where did Price get his?” I ask.

“No one knows.” He laughs. “Apart from Lu of course, and she’s sworn to secrecy.”

“So Lu did all of them?” I ask. Gaz nods. Simon’s is on his arm, Gaz’s is on his shoulder, I don’t know where John’s was it wasn’t on the top half of his body at least. It felt weird getting an SAS tattoo when I wasn’t even SAS, maybe this was Price’s way of making sure I accepted the offer for SAS training. I hadn’t told anyone yet, not even Simon but I would not be surprised if he knew, which made it even worse that I hadn’t told him yet. Price told me 4 days ago, before I could start spiraling Lu came back. She sat back down and started drawing on my leg, moving the dogtags and writing the initials in.

“For Johnny right?” She asks when she’s done and looks at me for approval. I nod. “I was sorry to hear he passed, he helped me design this.” She said putting the pen down and pulling on some gloves.

“That explains the Scottish stuff.” I chuckle. I watched as she rubbed a blob of vaseline on the back of her glove and moved a light over so it was shining on my thigh. I watched her pick the tattoo gun up. The nerves came back like a flood I all of a sudden felt sick. I instinctively reached out for Gaz. He stood up coming over to grab my hand laughing.

“It’s not funny.” I protest, I hear he gun turn on and I squeeze his hand which only makes him laugh again. I turn over to Lu who is dipping it in the ink.

“Ready?” She asks smiling at me. I look up and take a breath in squeezing my eyes closed.

“Yeah,” I say.

“Okay here we go,” she says. I prepare to feel pain, but I don’t feel anything. I open my eyes, I stop squeezing gaz’s hand, he chuckles shaking his head. I look over at Lu she’s definitely tattooing my skin, it doesn't hurt though. I sigh letting go of his hand he sits back down in the chair. I start to relax letting the sound of the gun buzzing ground me. Gaz and Lu make small talk, they swap stories as I sit patiently waiting for it to be done, every now and then I feel a sting of pain and I look back down to see the progress. Gaz distracts me by pulling me into the conversations about missions. Lu seems to be interested in what Gaz has been doing more then me though. I give him a cheeky look every time she asks him a simple question, almost like she wants to listen to him talk about anything. When she is done with the main design she asks if I want a break before she starts on the colour. I shake my head and another 30 minutes passes when she says she’s done. I’m excited now I’m almost jumping off the bed to look in the mirror. I love it, my skin is red and puffy but I don’t mind. I want to touch it but I restrain myself.

"I love the little colours, on the flags the rope on the anchor is so smooth.” I say turning back to look at Lu.

“See I told you it wouldn’t hurt.” Gaz said taking his phone out. “Let me get a picture.”

I move so he can take one then go back over to Lu, I’m almost not paying attention as she cleans and wraps it listing off instructions for aftercare. I thank her for being so patient, and she tells me to be careful for the next few days. I jump off the bed pulling my jeans up, maybe not the best idea to ware jeans but at least there loose and she did wrap it well. I take the bottle out her hand and the aftercare leaflet, I’m giddy I just want to show everyone. I can’t wait to see what it looks like healed.

“Charge it to Price right?” Lu asks Gaz.

“Always.” Gaz says.

“You should stop by when you’re around next we can go for coffee?” She calls back as I pull the door handle to leave.

“Yeah, I’ll text you.” He replies. When we get back in the car I nudge him.

"What?" he asks confused.

"You and Lu." I say fluttering my eyelashes at him.

"Stop," he says turning the engine on, I giggle watching him blush. My hand finds it's way to my dogtags I rub John's. I would have to ask Simon where John had his tattoo done he would know, Simon knew everything about Johnny.

MCTober 2024 - Week 1

1. Introduce your MC

Loraine Hawks

House: Slytherin

Year: 7th

Loraine Hawks is my MC. She is 23 years old and is the new seventh year (to understand why read the opening notes of my fanfic). She lost her parents in a fire when she was just a child, so she barely remembers them.

When the fire happened she was taken to a mental hospital where she stayed until she was thirteen, where she was finally picked up by her aunt and uncle. Due to post-traumatic stress Loraine doesn't remember anything about the mental hospital she was in (I didn't mention any of this yet in the fanfic I will explain it better anyway). She lived with her aunt and uncle in a house on the outskirts of a small town in the south of Scotland where she was abused from the very beginning, she was also abused by her uncle's friends and her aunt never did anything about it.

A woman in the village taught her to read, write and educated her as much as possible. She also wanted to adopt her, but her uncle never allowed it. She tried to escape several times, but her uncle always managed to find her and the punishments got worse, so she finally gave up.

One day a silver-haired stranger came to the house claiming to be a professor at Hogwarts and that the Ministry had set its sights on her. The rest in my fanfic :)

2. Favorite subjects:

Due to her lack of education in magic, Loraine was so fascinated when she arrived at Hogwarts that she wanted to take as many extracurricular subjects as possible. She likes a lot of them, but if there are a few that stand out, they are:

Potions: She finds it a fascinating subject. Professor Sharp is a bit harsh, but he also praises students who put in the effort. She would love to become a great potioneer and help many people, but above all, her desire is to create a potion that slows down aging.

Magic Theory: Okay, the main reason she chose this subject was that Fig was the one who taught it, but it's also true that she found it to be a really useful and interesting subject. In addition, if an assignment is not delivered on time, Fig always leaves her extra time to deliver it later. It's his fault that she has so many extra 'assignments' anyway.

Care of Magical Creatures: Since she was a child, Loraine has always had a deep connection with animals, she can even understand them in some way, so of course this would be a perfect subject for her. Not even Professor Howin understands how Loraine, just by looking at the animal, can tell what it needs.

Charms: It is a magic in its purest form, of course Loraine loves it! Also Ronen is one of her favorite teachers, he always makes the most monotonous class a game and if she is ever late in turning in an essay (because of Fig) he always leaves her extra time to deliver it.

Ancient Studies, Art/Muggle Art, Music/Muggle Music, Study of Ancient Runes (she loves too many!)

3. Hated subjects:

Divination: Even though Professor Onai is an exceptional witch, Loraine finds Divination a really boring and confusing subject, what's so interesting about knowing the future?

History of Magic: Unlike Divination, Loraine finds the history of magic really interesting, but Professor Binns is simply… It's a losing battle not to fall asleep in his class.

4. Favorite teacher:

Obviously her favorite teacher is Fig. Not only is he an exceptional teacher and wizard, he is her mentor and the only person she fully trusts. He saved her life that day when he showed up at her aunt and uncle's house and since then he has won her trust and her heart. He is her role model and her only goal is to make him proud of her. Nothing else in the world matters to her. He is her universe.

5. School club:

Crossed Wands (current winner) She also does not have enough time to be able to belong to other clubs.

6. Hobbies:

Drawing: She always carries a notebook with her and loves to draw creatures she sees on her travels, landscapes, and flowers. She also has some sketches of Fig that she does when they take a break, but he doesn't know it!

Playing the piano: For some reason unknown to her, she can play the piano, but she does not know how to read sheet music.

Reading: If she has time, he likes to read mystery novels.

Creating new potions, helping wild creatures and caring for her own in The Room of Requirement, exploring, teasing professor Fig (yes, it's a hobby).

after rough nights in the medbay, Bones goes down to engineering and sits on the floor listening to the hum of the warp core while Scotty works

they’ve both done drag before, and if given the chance will burst out into song at any moment dramatically

Bones convinced Scotty to take apart one of the food replicators and reprogram the software with Italian and Scottish dish codes, and every few weeks they sit down together and eat risotto or haggis or pasta or stew with red wine

Scotty is the big spoon and they cuddle a lot, or just sit there with each other to not be alone on the first five year mission

Bones is sex-neutral asexual and has some difficulty processing romantic feelings from his youth, something Scotty helps him deal with

they’re both bi as fuck

scotty has a dirty mind

on the five year mission Bones was getting burned out and struggling to pull himself together to talk with Johanna after long shifts so Scotty would sit with Jo on video call and talk to her about engineering and toys to give Bones some time

Johanna loves Scotty and started calling him ‘Da’ by the fourth year, when she was ten

Bones and Scotty have DEFINITELY sat drunk on new year’s eve crying and singing O Flower Of Scotland together out of tune

Scotty helps Bones with his weight issues and vulnerability

they get a sausage dog when they retire

Bones has a habit of bringing Scotty back flowers from away missions

they don’t kiss a lot, but when they do it’s very sweet

the crew didn’t know until the fifth year, but they were all invited to the wedding

Scotty gives the Best Fucking Hugs and Bones secretly loves it despite his many complaints

they brew alcoholic beverages in their shared bathroom <3

i could go on for days

#thank you so much for the ask #i’m in love with these silly old men

On 10th November 1150 work began on the construction of Dryburgh Abbey in the Scottish Borders.

Dryburgh was founded by Hugh de Morville for Premonstratensian canons from Alnwick Priory in Northumberland. De Morville was the Constable of Scotland and Lord of Lauderdale, but despite his Scottish titles he was a Norman lord, with his roots in England, so it is not too surprising that he invited English canons to populate his new abbey.

Construction of the new abbey concentrated on the abbey church, but even so, the church was not finished until the early 13th century.

Dryburgh became the mother house of the Premonstratensian order in Scotland, establishing daughter houses at Whithorn, in Dumfries-shire, and Fearn, in Ross-shire, among other locations. Dryburgh was never as prestigious or as wealthy as the three major Borders abbeys at Melrose, Kelso, and Jedburgh, but it lasted for 400 years in this peaceful spot by the Tweed.

The peaceful life of the canons at Dryburgh was disturbed in 1320 when a canon named Brother Marcus punched the abbot. For this serious offence he was expelled from the abbey. Much worse was to come just 2 years later in 1322 when the armies of Edward II, retreating from a reverse against the Scots, heard the abbey's bells ringing in the distance. According to legend, the army turned aside from the route of its march and sacked the abbey, setting fire to the monastic buildings and carrying off whatever loot they could grab.

The Scottish Reformation had a more long-lasting effect, however, and the numbers of monks dwindled until there were only 2 remaining in 1584. Eventually the last of the monks died or left, and the abbey was left to crumble into ruin.

Then the 11th Earl of Buchan stepped in. The Earl was a keen antiquarian, responsible for founding the Society of Antiquaries in Scotland in 1780. Buchan bought the Dryburgh site and turned it into a peaceful landscape garden, where flowers bloomed amid ancient ruins. When the Earl died in 1829 he was buried in the sacristy. His close friend, the novelist Sir Walter Scott, died just 3 years later and was buried in the north aisle.

The Moonstone Returns - Chapter Three Spoiler

Yes! Back to writing and editing today. Just a little bit at a time. But here is a spoiler for Chapter 3.

Also I can hear bagpipes playing today - must be a remembrance service but writing with bagpipes in the background when I base some of my Dark kingdom culture on Scotland is ironic. Also makes me think of my wedding day as we had bagpipes. Anyways...

He collapsed onto his knees, his hands in front of him covered in blood, the pale skin of the woman in front of him, flesh torn, he’d done that, it wasn’t his fault, it wasn’t his fault, he had to try something, the baby he had saved the baby, but he couldn’t save her, all the blood.., he’d tried, he’d tried, he’d stopped vessel after ruptured vessel from bleeding, sewing, glueing, clamping, whatever he could until the blood no longer pulsed out, the organs pale, the wailing of the baby in the background. Hands wrapping around his stopping him.

She’s gone, she’s already dead Varian, you did your best.

You could have saved us,

All of us. His father voice rang out.

No, no he couldn’t, he’d tried everything, there was nothing left he could do.

There’s always something Varian, flower gleam and glow, let your power shine.

He shook his head. He turned, he needed to get away from this cursed place, when he saw it, in the river a glint of blue. He leaned in close. A blue fragment of stone, just a few millimetres. He held his luminescent vial up closer, there another one, and another, four in all. Various sizes, with some rough sides and some strangely smooth sides as if partly cut and polished.

Downton Abbey Fashion 23 - 1920s outdoors fashion

I’m getting to the point where I have to shift around the age categorization of my posts because we’ve already gone from 107 outfits introduced in season 1 to 178 outfits introduced in season 3, so the image limit is coming to haunt me. So I’ll throw Rosamund’s one outdoors look in with the youngsters.

Yay, a very poorly-lit shot of her at the club… Uhm, I think this coat is brown with a big golden four-leaf clover pattern? And big-ass cuffs with a matching collat embroidered with something like a small leaf motif? No guarantee.

--------------

Mary’s bored face speaks of wedding rehearsals, her coat of the amount of time one can spend weaving a fabric in which the pattern is a whole structural thing. Lovely, even though uncontrasted beige isn’t high on my fave list. The collar reveals some ribbed lining, a nice background for her bejeweled little pin there, and where would we even be if the hat didn’t match this perfectly? Being made of straw, the structure even looks like the lining. And then a little trim and a few brown leaves on it – this outfit feels very autumn-y, even though the wedding is in spring.

Mary’s honeymoon travel coat, a dream in blue. Love the sleeves; the fabric gives them some structure on top of the shoulder. And there’s of course the lovely flowered fabric the collar is made of. Interestingly, despite the outfit being so simple that she could afford some extra, the flowered fabric is not repeated on the hat; instead, it’s wrapped in a very similar blue fabric as the main part of the coat. The feather seems to be optional.

A wrapping beauty in a deep red, this is one of the coats that will inexplicably become Rosamund’s come season 5. I’m starting to think Rosamund doesn’t have money to buy her own clothes. She even takes Mary’s stupid black straw hat. But forget about the hat; look at the big, drapey sleeves and the elegant semi-cowl collar and the little decoration element on the closure… that Rosamund ripped off.

And for a final occasion in the season to wear her signature red, this pretty walking suit is what Mary wears for travel when her family is on vacation in Scotland. The streamlined cut doesn't give it much shape, but Mary is also pregnant here, so she’s probably quite comfortable in it. The color really is marvellous, although I’m not a great fan of the hat shape.

--------------

Edith gets a whole ton of outdoors outfits this season, probably because she’s coming out of her shell and starting to spend time away from home. Look at this beauty of a coat! Wild experimental patterns, let’s go! This meld of flower motifs and geometrical shapes looks like it should be too much, but it really isn’t, what with the overall beigeness of the outfit and Edith choosing a very understated hat to go with this. And since we’re here anyway – she also wears this peach / salmon dress separately as a summer frock.

Of course, my favorites don’t make it to the next season while this coat does. Oh well. I’m not opposed to it; however, as Edith only ever seems to wear it in nighttime situations, I can’t get a well-lit shot of it. Working with a lot of gold and seafoam green, I think, and like the previous one, this is a typical 1920s coat, very simple cut, very wild fabric. I do love the matching silk scarf in the fist picture.

Hey, people are allowed to wear not-brown on hunting events! This green plaid is adorable, and the little silver brooch on the collar makes it even more so. Other than that, this look is quite understated with the shawl lapels and the bowl hat (or is this already a cloche hat?), but the latter seems to be made of velvet, so that is nice.

I personally don’t find this style of collar super flattering, but the overall outfit is nice, what with the pale grey-just-on-the-edge-of-lavender color. The lower half is a nice design with the three layers, each set off with two shell buttons, and the second picture betrays a slight grid structure of the fabric.

Oh, one of Edith’s orange contrasting looks! Granted, the shirt under it doesn’t look like much and is really just here for the sake of contrast, but the jacket! The hat! All them patterns… and even better; this shit is not printed, it’s embroidered. Gawd, I hope someone got paid well for the time they invested in this.

Favorite time! Oh my god, this walking suit. Look at all these golden triforces! I mean, the triangle embroidery. I first thought it’s just the coat, but no, she has a skirt to match. And it has pockets. What really strikes me about Edith’s outfits this season is that her hats rarely look like they were made for the outfit in question – like here, the band doesn’t have this golden triangle pattern. But it’s such a good match that you have to look twice to realize that; it blends in perfectly color- and design-wise.

I don’t know how I feel about this walking dress. On one hand, the salmon-y orange is very pretty; on the other, this collar style and fake tie front aren’t really my thing. No doubt that it’s nicely-made though, just some subtle silver piping here and there and otherwise the streamlined style of the 1920s, complete with drop waist.

This however? This is a favorite beyond reproach. Oh my god, the color pairing suits her so well! Finally some teal to compliment my favorite ginger! I think this is the first time I see Edith wear a beret – interestingly, in a time when the style is becoming associated with the working class. But then, Edith is dipping her toes into an occupation here, albeit journalism. What else is there to talk about? These darling little cuffs, the knife-pleated skirt, how charming the pearls fit in that wide teal yoke piece? It’s all there; feast thine eyes upon it.

A look back on my 2024: Part 3 of 3-Plants, fungi and landscape and sky

I had another strong year of observing flowers, it was really busy for them throughout the year with the likes of hogweed still flowering a lot in the winter and winter heliotrope, violets, snowdrops and daffodils coming earlier than ever with winter heliotrope and violets then emerging early for this season in recent weeks. Upright hedge-parsley at so many places over the summer, wood sorrel at RSPB Loch Garten on the Scotland trip, bush vetch, stunning crimson clover, common twayblade, white helleborine and green-winged orchid were marvellous new species I enjoyed seeing this year. Not many flowers captivate me as much as orchids and a strong time of seeing bee orchids at Lakeside as we went into summer, pyramidal orchid, early purple orchid, early spider orchid and marsh orchids in Yorkshire were key species of my year. Lesser celandine, wood anemone, snowflakes and snake’s-head fritillaries were springtime delights once more. Yellow rattle, rass vetchling and sainfoin other key spring species seen then the meadows were alive with colour in the summer months with red campion, meadow crane’s-bill, harebell, self-heal, wild basil, wild marjoram, eyebright, centaury, restharrow, hoary plantain and bird’s-foot trefoil thrilling me. Water mint, forget-me-not and marsh woundwort were key species of wet places I enjoyed seeing with hedge woundwort, herb-Robert, tufted vetch, common toadflax, ivy-leaved toadflax, viper’s-bugloss and fabulous foxgloves enjoyed often on margins. Cross-leaved heath was exciting to see and devil’s-bit scabious was one of my flowers of the year again as it titled towards autumn. I always enjoy seeing fruit and bright red rose hips, some but less than last year hawthorn berries, wild service tree berries, guelder rose berries, wayfaring tree berries, blackthorn sloes, nightshade berries a revelation of my year and holly berries were good to see.

I’ve had another smashing fungi year, red tinged with the iconic and magical fly agaric seen at a fair few places in the New Forest in the autumn, many waxcaps a big standout of my year including possible crimson ones, the enigmatic eyelash fungi seen at Blashford Lakes very well and scarlet elf cup in late winter key species of my year. I was fortunate to see amethyst deceivers and devil’s fingers in the New Forest again and enjoyed a great year of seeing distinctive and impressive parasols as well as the strong scenes of shaggy scalycaps huddling around a tree base at Lakeside which brought flair and vigour to my autumn. Jelly ear was a splendid find in late winter at Testwood Lakes a first for me and yellow stagshorn, false deathcap, panthercap, candlesnuff fungi and pleated ink cap were other nice ones to see in the autumn. I had a really strong year enjoying the intricate patterns of turkey tail and King Alfred’s cake at Fishlake Meadows a couple of times was a memorable find. Lichen including oakmoss at Lakeside and moss have been nice to see a lot this year.

Finally I think it’s important to reflect on just how fortunate I am to be able to spend so much time outside and looking outside and as well as the awesome flora, fauna and fungi I get so taken in by landscapes and the sky. I was very lucky to enjoy the incredible and awe-inspiring scenery in Scotland again this year from lochs to snow-capped peaks with stunning panoramic views including to Cairn Gorm mountain at the cottage we stayed in and the enchanting tall cliff coasts in Yorkshire. Woodland in a year I delved deeper into trees, heathland, meadow/downland, rivers, lakes and even built up and urban areas have been amazing to explore this year. In particular I found myself really immersing myself in and appreciating precious wetlands this year. Sunsets, sunrises, rainbows, full moons and lots more in between have presented stunning sky scenes to observe. What a year, thanks for all your interactions during. I shall do a look back over December post at some point towards the end of it. Lastly I wish you all a Merry Christmas and happy New Year.

The photos in this set are of; meadow crane's-bill at Lakeside in August, bush vetch at Pitt Down in June, hoary plantain at Durlston in July, fly agaric at Denny Wood in the New Forest, eyelash fungi at Blashford Lakes and amethyst deceiver in the New Forest in October, view in Scotland from near where we stayed in May, Thornwick Bay in June, Fishlake Meadows in January and the moon in September.
