That time I went to Artnia and ate the Vincent pasta

I’ll be adding more info/tags over time!

日本語版とブログについてこちらです↓

About the Blog/Trivia below the cut ❤️

You can call me Sera (she/her)

I’ve been obsessed with Vincent Valentine since I was about 10 years old. I love him to death.

I don’t officially ship Vincent with anyone and don’t really have any NoTPs (although I do have my preferences)

I probably won’t post any blatantly 18+ content, but I also don’t guarantee this blog is free from it. I post what I like and find interesting.

My birthday is July 1990 (Lucky me I have the same star sign as Lucrecia 🙃)

I’m an art teacher IRL

I’m married to a very patient husband who understands and supports my obsession (Supportive partners do exist!! ❤️)

I love languages and have been learning Japanese for years. It’s been very helpful to to understand Vincent content at its source (I’m at a basic conversational level rn)

P.S. Vincent’s name was the first thing I learned to read/write in katakana 🙃🙃🙃

In day to day life, I’m still not super comfortable talking about Vincent. (For example, I will change the subject very quickly if one of my friends mentions him around my family 😅) but in fandom spaces I feel much safer because we understand each other haha ❤️

I suffer from a chronic condition, which is a big reason I love and relate to Vincent so much.

This is a drama-free zone, all Vincent fans are welcome here 🩷

Please feel free to DM me if you have any questions or want to chat about Vincent 💕

Regarding the art I post:

Reminder to use good internet etiquette when sharing. Please do not repost or re-upload to other sites without permission. You can download to enjoy for personal use (wallpapers, avatar crops, etc) without asking first. Please do not use for commercial purposes. Thank you ❤️

Summary

(During Avatar: WOW) Alue’k is terrified of water, so what happened when some Metkayina boys think it would be funny to drag her into the sea and leave her.

Warnings

Mentions of Injury

Mentions of feeling of failing as a parent

Crying

If you think anything else needs to be added leave a comment. 

———————————————

Alue’k wished that life could stay like this forever, her family wrapped around her as she basked in their warmth.

She was safe and she felt loved.

However, time doesn’t stand still forever.

Jake was the first to pull away, hands lingering on Neyteris him and Lo’aks neck. Jake looked at his family and took it all in, the memories, the loss, the feeling of being misplaced. He knew how they felt and if he wasn’t so dam obsessed with trying to learn there new ways and keep them safe he’d have noticed that they were all struggling.

Neteyams birthright was taken away from him and he was plunged into this new way of life head first. Lo’ak and Kiri were drowning in abuse they revived for being “different”. Tuk was stripped of her home and friend, and while she seemed to be acclimating well to these new waters who knows what was going on in that little head of hers. Neytiri, his Neytiri. She had given up everything, her family, her status and the only home she’s ever known.

Jake continued to drown in his thoughts, eyes darkening as he thinks about all the pain he’s causing his family. Neytiri is quick to see her husband pain, it radiates of him; so much so that she feels it. She knows his struggle, loss, pain and suffering, his struggles of realisation, overcoming and growth.

Their pain is the thing that brings them together and tears them apart.

So that’s what they would do now, after being torn apart they would come together. Hold each other up, heaping each other support their family, their children.

It took everything Alue’k had to pull away from her family’s warmth but once she had managed to pry herself from the comfort of her family’s eyes around her. She looked up towards her parents, tears pooling in her eyes.

Alue’k - Can we go home?

Her voice was hoarse, it sounded as if she had swallowed the roughest sand in the hole of Awa'atlu. It broke Neytiris heart to hear her daughter voice sounding so beaten. What hurt the most however was when she finally took in all of her daughter. Her bruised eye, blood speckled lips and red stinging eyes.

Neytiri pulled Alue’k closer, holding her softly but firm. Jake bent down to be at level with the young girl, his own eyes filled with sorrow as salty tears started to pool into the corner of his eyes. He wouldn’t cry. He had to be strong, had to be strong for Alue’k.

He gently pulled her from Neytiris protective arms, said mother had to stop herself from hissing and bearing her teeth at her husband as he cradled their daughter to his chest and gently picked her up, making sure to be as slow with his movements as possible.

Neteyam was quiet to pick up Tuk who was slowly swaying on her feet, tonight had been exhausting especially for an eight year old who had spent the better half of the night crying her heart out. As soon as she rested her head into the crook of Neteyams neck she was out like a light. 

The hole of the Sully family made their way back to their Mauri. Once they were there Jake gently sat down placing Alue’k on top of his chest, her tail dangling to the side, he sometimes forgot how small Alue’k really was. Her small body managing to fit perfectly on top of her father. Neytiri carefully took Tuk from Neteyam as she quietly went to lay next to her husband and second youngest, Tuk cradled softly in her arms.

Neteyam laid next to his mom, her arm wrapped around him. Warm and comforting as Neytiri gently played with her sons hair hoping it would relax him. 

Kiri was next, curling herself into her brothers side, his arms wrapped around her. She could finally rest knowing that her family were safe, however the dark feeling quickly reignited as she remembered Spider, her friend who they left behind. She really missed him.

Lastly Lo’ak made his way over to the family cuddle pile, he cuddled into his dad side. 

An hours or so had passed and the only ones still awake where Jake and Lo’ak. Jake couldn’t sleep as his little girl kept twitching with fear, nightmares of the days events playing in her little head. Jake wished he could make it better, he prayed to Eywa to make it stop, to make her stop hurting.

Alue’k had struggled at the start but after reassurance from her parents that they would be their to keep her safe she finally managed to let her heavy eyes close and slowly drifted to sleep.

Alue’k - … Daddy, promise?

Jakes eyes softened.

Jake - I promise baby girl, me and mama will be here. We’ll keep you safe.

Lo’ak couldn’t sleep but got an entirely different reason. Guilt plagued his mind, he is the big brother, he was meant to protect her.

Quiet tears slipped down his cheeks as he tried not to wake his family, however Jake noticed. He pulled his son closer, tugging gently on his side braid to get his attention. Lo’ak looked up at his father, gilt visible on his face.

Jake - Son, it’s not your fault. 

Lo’ak let out a sob as he buried his face into his dads side. Jake, pulled his son back and pulled his chin up so they were looking eye to eye.

Jake - Hey baby boy, look at me. It’s not your fault. You can’t blame yourself. Sometimes the people we love her hurt and there nothing we can do about it. All we can do now, is make sure she is happy and safe but that’s me and your mamas job. We want all of you to be safe because we love you.

Lo’ak didn’t know how to react so he just snuggled into his dads side and gently took Alue’ks twitching hand, hoping it would sooth some of her nightmares.

Jake heart warmed as he watched his youngest son, he lent to the side kissing Lo’aks forehead.

Jake - Your a good kid Lo’ak, you’re my kid, never forget that.

Lo’ak hummed, nuzzling into his dads side a sod purr doming from his chest.

Lo’ak - Love you dad.

Jake - Love you son.

I will be visiting Bratislava!! u know u might have heard of it before /j

i deff understand!! i think my brain just stopped working when i saw those pics!! THAT IS SUCH A FUNNY TITLE!! and i'm very excited about reading more simp stories😌(liebestraum anon💕)

i honestly dont know whats going on w ksi recently but i used to like some of his music too so my music taste is honestly kind of questionable.... me and podcasts arent friends i just. i dont get the appeal😭😭😭 and let me know if u do!! his vids where they watch the ancient aliens are my comfort videos i always laugh so much at them

My by yael is such a good song especially when it plays in the club 😩😩 HAHA im glad u didnt hate them!! i definitely have a weird love/hate relationship w slovak songs because i tend to dislike the lyrics and also there arent many artists which genre would fit my vibe i think (or at least i dont know of any). the punk rock songs u said sound nostalgic 😭😭😭😭are actally kinda old😭😭😭so maybe thats why😭

omg bratislava wOAH /j 😭😭 hope u like the city!! i really like the historical centre, altho ive been there only like 3 times 😋

2H, 4H, 8H for you!

Thank you!! @freckledsweetpea 💕💕💕

From this astrology ask game.

2H ⇢ do you have any object that you like a little too much? what is it and why?

If I had to pick, it would be my mineral/rock collection. I haven't added anything new lately, but I'm very attached to them since it was one of the hobbies I started getting into and brought me out of my deep several year long depression I was in during my early-mid twenties.

If we're going with a single object though though, probably this tapestry poster of a Japenese wrestler I like that I got during my trip to Dallas. It was my first trip ever, and my first trip alone no-less, plus my first time on a plane. I also got to hang out with my two best friends whom I've been online friends with for 10+ years. So while I really like the poster a lot, it also reminds me of a lot of firsts I got to do. It was my first taste of being independant and branching out. It means a lot to me.

4H ⇢ which relatives are you the closest with?

None honestly 😂I don't have strong relationships with any of my relatives, aside from my parents and my sister. But if I had to pick, probably my aunt since I work with her and we became pretty good friends.

8H ⇢ what do you consider red flags in a relationship?

Putting this answer under a readmore, just in case 😅

TW: Manipulation?

Oof, a lot, actually. And it took me having to experience them for myself to consider them red flags. I had this long distance thing going with someone when I was around 23. It started out fine, he was super chill, very open minded, very sweet and funny. Then he just did a whole turn out and he turned out to be an religious zealot and close-minded conservative in the middle of our 'relationship'. So suddenly, everything that he claimed he was okay with about me was suddenly a problem.

My tattoos were a problem (he flipped his shit when he found out I was getting another one). My lack of religion was suddenly a problem (he kept pushing his religion onto me and pretty much implied that if he was going to be with me, I NEEDED to convert) and culturally, my identity became a problem too. He kept making jokes that he would just tell people I was part of his culture rather than Mexican, which is what I am.

Basically, he was embarrassed of everything that made me 'me', and only liked me because I looked how he wanted. It got to the point where literally all he talked about was my body and the only compliments he gave me was about my figure. He even got extremely upset when I told him to stop because it upset me and he did the "FINE I GUESS I WON'T COMPLIMENT YOU ANYMORE" bs.

Plus he pretty much did everything his parents wanted him to do, so there was clearly that. He kept me a secret because he knew his parents wouldn't approve of me.

A HUGE red flag that I learned over time is being threatened to be dumped until I give what they wanted. Which is what he did a lot. He kinda honed in on my abandonment issues and whenever I did or said something he disliked, he would threaten to leave me or cut contact with me (this was during a period of my life where I literally had no one else to talk to and I was extremely lonely) until I caved and apologized to him or just went along with what he wanted.

Another would be being told to hide parts of myself or being told to change to fit what they want.

I regret wasting those years with that individual, but at least I know what to look out for and what to avoid now.

Hiii!!! I always love seeing your posts and reblogs when I enter Tumblr (your art is breathtaking) and I'd love to know a bit more of what you have to tell us and want to share. So I thought of a sort of tag gamey thing cause I love those things. You seem like a genuinely interesting person and I want to see if these things match

What would you think about: Tell Us 5-10 random things that have happened to you lately and that you think will be cool to know. Then tag 10 people so we can see what random things have happened to then that you have no idea about :)

(it's okay if you don't want to do it, hugging you anyways 🌷)

Ahhh it’s me again 😅 Since I watched the forest we:th Ptg clips (is that the actual name? Lol) I’ve been thinking about camping with the boys🥰 can you write #10 and #31 from the fluff prompts with Shinwon pls?? Thank you😅💕💕🦊

Heyy! Good to see you’re requesting again!! Sorry for taking so long to write this 🙏🏼🤧 I actually have no idea what’s the name of that but I perfectly know what you mean 🤣🤣 Here you have it and I hope it was more or less what you imagined ❤❤

Word count: 593 words

Warnings: None!

The boys have been waiting this day to come for the past four years. Working nonstop in their comebacks and music made them deserve nothing else but holidays in which they could relax and take a rest from idol life. Even though that was what it was supposed to happen, they found out you would be going with them for filming a reality show. And there you were, in the middle of a forest with nine boys and carrying tons of bags.

You had to admit that you all enjoyed it more than you expected. Out of the professional relationship you had with the boys, you considered them close friends and so they did. Especially Shinwon who would always come to you whenever he had something good or bad crossing his mind. For him, you were someone he could rely on a lot and even though you were a year younger than him, he always admired your maturity and the way you always had the right words for him to cheer up. Little did you know the crush he developed on you for the past year.

The cameras were finally off and you all enjoying a delicious dinner. It was a beautiful night. Stars twinkling above your heads creating a beautiful image that seemed to be out of a fairytale, the sound of the crickets in the background making you feel the nature surrounding you and some fireflies coming over from time to time making the scenery even more magic. 

For a moment you were left alone with Shinwon. You had no idea why but you started to feel nervous with his presence. Of course you have been with him alone other times but this time there was something different. The way he looked down at you as you both shared a can of soda and as you stared at the beautiful sky was pretty different from the way he used to look at you in other situations. “Apparently all our friends have a bet going about when we'll end up together.” He suddenly said looking back at the sky, too shy to look at you and too scared about what your reaction would be. You were shocked and you felt how your cheeks started to heat up at his sudden comment. You didn’t know what to say. Of course you liked him back but you never imagined he would have such feelings for someone like you. You always expected him to end up dating another idol in case he got the chance instead of dating a normal girl that worked for his company. “And actually… if I was the one deciding… They would win the bet.” He said shyly. “I never knew what I felt for you was love because you were always so caring and nice to me but when I asked Jinho hyung about my feelings he said it was love... “ He added. You were still shocked and had no idea of what to say or do. “Move away if you don’t want this kiss.” He said turning to face you and leaning in to kiss your cheek. You stayed there frozen like a statue. “I didn’t expect you to stay still.” He said blushing hard after softly kissing your cheek. Both of you were a blushing mess by the time and without even noticing you were holding each other’s hand as you stared at the sky. You had to admit it was an unexpected love but it was the best thing that would happen during those little Forest holidays.

*takes deep breath in attempt to calm horny thots in order to write things that make sense*

before I delve into just how fucking hot (and incredibly sweet) this fic was, I just want to reassure you that despite you not having pegging experience, this was written very accurately! (coming from a person with experience 😈) I could tell you put a lot of thought into it because like I said, it was written so well! you fucking did that 💕

now...

😩

CAN I PLEASE PRETTY FUCKING PLEASE HAVE JEON THEE JUNGKOOK SUCK AND RIDE MY FAKE COCK????

like... that's all I ask for...

goddd, this smut ran me fucking ragged. from him telling oc he's been preparing (🥵) to get pegged then to him being so whiny and needy for it just added 10 years to my life. not to mention how much of a fucking sweetie he is to oc, wanting her to have a good time and pleasure too??? also, the fact that you added in the wonderful, wonderful visual of his cinched waist and hips in comparison to his broad shoulders, I just... I transcended right then. and when he backed his ass out so oc could fuck him deeper... 😩😩😩 PLEATHHH

your writing skills are just so impeccable in being able to depict the hottest scenes ever. like when he was riding oc, oh goodness, the descriptions of his facial expressions and body movements you were giving had me needing to take deep breaths lmaooo. nearly gave me chest cramps from THE TALENT 🤌🏼

this couple is definitely a favorite of mine. it's so sweet to read how comfortable he is with butt play now in comparison to the last fic, and that all has to do with the trust and love they share for each other 🤧 (and also with the advice he gets from his gay af friends jimin and tae)

thank you for adding onto this series and giving us the pegging material we need!! not to mention the fact that you wrote AND edited this to perfection in one day??? you're amazing 💖💖💖

gold rush pt. 3 | jjk (m/nc17)

>>pairing: jungkook x reader

>>genre: pwp, v little plot, smut, kinda fluffy, college au (kinda), established relationship

>>word count: 9.9k um?

>>notes: i wasn’t gonna write this bc ur girl does not know the first thing about pegging, but jk sucking the strap came to me in a dream and i had to do it. i wrote and edited this whole thing today u are welcome, pls thank me w asks and comments

[alirhi]

💖💕💖💕 Thank you! 😘

WARNING for this bit: disturbing themes, molestation, references to violence, rape, and death, general ickiness. I've mostly stuck with the fluffier side of things so far, but that's not what I love about this story. I love that it gets gritty, and the morality gets questionable at best. Between the last bit I posted and this scene, Becca becomes a vampire, and there's no emo response; no moping or whining or lamenting what she's "lost" or how she now has to live. she dives in head-first and has a blast. (I'd share her transformation, but I wrote it 10 years ago and it's...not good 😂 needs some serious reworking before I'm willing to share it. so for now, in the words of Jeremy from CinemaSins - SKIP!)

also, it's like... really, really long lol

"Kallias! Come here, boy!"

Rebecca watched the skinny youth scurry across the yard in the early twilight, his skin sun-kissed, but ghostly pale compared to the native Greeks he served. Whoever he was, he was no local, though he'd been in the hot Mediterranean sun for quite some time. Sharp eyes and even sharper ears focused entirely on the scene before her as the blinding light died and the world became clearer.

The man who had summoned him radiated pride as he draped his arm across pale, narrow shoulders and pulled him into the room. The family, and friends of the father, had been drinking. The vampire could smell it from where she stood, and could hear it in their raucous laughter.

"Look! Look how pretty he is! Could you ever conceive of naming him anything else?" Kallias, their hidden audience remembered, meant 'beauty'. It was appropriate; the boy was so beautiful, he made her entire body ache. Young, yes; uncomfortably young, perhaps, though with these ancient people and the hard lives they led, it was difficult to tell for sure... but oh, so beautiful. Her heart thudded in her chest as she took in that expanse of snowy skin over hard, wiry muscle, the mass of loose black curls, and, as he turned back toward her, captivating sapphire eyes. She gasped, startled by the sensation. Her heartbeat was so slow, she often forgot she had one at all. She wasn't sexually attracted to the boy, but oh, how she desperately wanted to hold him close and give him a soft, easy life!

"Were he a free Greek, I'd make him my eromenos!" One of the other men declared, daring to reach for the loose, pleated cloth that wrapped Kallias's bony hips. The boy flinched, then ducked his head in shame; obviously, he hadn't meant to move, and didn't think it would be looked kindly upon by the man at his shoulder.

His owner - for that's who the man of the house was, Rebecca realized with a sinking feeling; Kallias was a slave, and the man holding him was his master - didn't seem to mind. He was probably too drunk to have noticed the flinch. "Bah! If anyone's educating this beautiful boy, it's me!"

"You're too old to do him any good, father!" his son teased. The younger man was probably in his late teens or early twenties, although, again, it was difficult to tell for sure. "He'll only get a real 'education' with me!" With an appraising look at the young slave, he added, "he's likely still a bit too young for that, though."

"How old are you, boy?" When Kallias hesitated, his master snorted and shook his head. "Ah, right. In your land, they don't measure time."

"Thirteen," the slave murmured. All eyes turned to him, and Rebecca felt her pulse quicken at his soft, changing voice. He was so cute! Never, in all her years as a vampire, had she so desperately wanted to save a human - especially a male - rather than kill him. He fidgeted, drawing her attention back, and said a little louder, "Bemus taught me to count and measure, sir. It helps with the crops and stock. I am thirteen."

She was straining to hear him, and his was the only voice she wanted to hear. Confident that there was sufficient shadow to hide her, even with her wild red hair, the vampire moved closer just in time to hear the master's soft, murmured question.

"Thirteen, hm? Cutting it close... Have you had your first emission yet, my sweet?" To avoid confusion - but completely defeating the purpose of speaking so softly - he reached under Kallias's skirt - chiton, the vampire reminded herself - and cupped his crotch.

Kallias blushed so brightly, Rebecca feared he might pop a blood vessel, and as he sorted out what he was being asked, he slowly nodded. "Yes, sir. Several."

Wet dreams. Christ, he was asking the poor kid about wet dreams in front of a room full of people! She watched the boy's muscles tense as he fought not to squirm, and wondered with a startling amount of sympathy if he was reacting to the hand that now absently massaged between his legs.

"Damn," the older man grumbled, still seeming unaware that he was molesting his young slave. "We waited too long. Well, perhaps..." He rolled Kallias's testicles in his palm, musing. "Just perhaps..."

"Starting his education now, Adrian?" one of the men joked, causing another round of uproarious laughter.

"Ah?" Only then did it seem to dawn on Adrian that he'd been absently jerking off his petrified slave for several minutes. With a chuckle, he released the boy, only to sit and pull him into his lap and resume his ministrations. "I hadn't intended to, but who can resist such a pretty thing? Look!" Up flipped the chiton, and Rebecca growled, hating the drunken lout for putting the poor child on display like that. "He's risen! It would be cruel to leave him like this, no?"

The last word was directed at Kallias, but he didn't seem to notice. His face and neck had reached whole new shades of red, and tears glistened in wide blue eyes. "Sir, please..."

Rebecca could tell he was begging to be set free, to be able to run off to a dark, secluded place away from the cackling vultures that surrounded him, but clearly Adrian's wine-soaked brain failed to get the message.

"Don't worry, lad! I started this mess; I'll not leave you wanting!"

"Zeus, look at the balls on that one!"

"Prime stock, there, Adrian!" another praised, watching in avid fascination as the lithe slave, still red and shaking from shame, was stroked between his scrawny, wide-spread thighs. "Turn him loose on one of your house girls and you'll never have to buy a slave again!"

"That's what I'm afraid of," Adrian admitted, keeping Kallias pinned against his chest with one hand while the other continued to work his barely-developed shaft. A few seconds later, the boy came with a broken cry, and Rebecca snorted in dark amusement as his seed shot halfway across the room to splash on the face of the nearest gawking onlooker.

He was a good sport about it, at least, merely wiping it off with a laugh. "Yeah, he's a potent one, for sure!"

"I meant to have him gelded before he hit this age," Adrian lamented. This time, when Kallias struggled, he managed to break free, and had wedged himself in a corner before his master finished his next sentence. "He's good with the girls, and they like him; they won't forgive me if I sell him, and I can't leave him around them intact."

"Please, sir!" Kallias whimpered, curling into a smaller ball than Rebecca would have thought possible. "I've never touched - I never would! Your daughters are sacred - I would never!"

"A boy can't help his urges, my love," Adrian soothed, reaching out but not approaching him. "You're a beautiful young stallion, Kallias; truly, you are. I do want you so... But I fear that beauty may be your undoing. Girls have urges, as well, and mine have fine taste-"

"I would never!" Kallias protested again, shaking so hard his teeth chattered. "Please, sir, don't hurt me!"

"Leave him, Adrian," his wife admonished, speaking for the first time that evening as she made her way over to the trembling slave. "He's never shown any interest in girls."

"I've none," he whimpered agreeably, clinging to her. "None. Master, please. Breeding stole my mother from me. I would never. Never."

"Hush, my sweet, now, hush," she whispered, smoothing his hair back and rocking him like a baby. The vampire watching from the shadows nodded her silent approval, glad someone cared for this boy as much as she was starting to. To her husband, the other woman chided, "You can't castrate a boy so close to manhood, Adrian. You'll ruin him. The time for that has passed. Let him be. He's never made any move toward any of the girls, ours or the slaves."

"Ah, but he might! He's young yet; young boys are always more interested in each other than girls."

"Oh, let him be, Adrian!" a staggered chorus sounded, though with far less empathy than the lady of the house showed. Lewd gestures and even worse suggestions abounded, until finally Adrian threw up his hands in defeat.

"Ugh. Fine, witch! You get your way as you always do." He pointed at his wife, trying to look stern, but he was shaking with laughter. Ah, booze, Rebecca thought with a grin, you soften everything. "But when Dareia drops a squirming ghost like him, it'll be on you!"

"And I'll call that ghost 'grandson' with pride," she hissed, hugging Kallias tight. "Kallias is a good boy - a human being, as you so often forget! Should Dareia or Eurydice choose to bed him one day, I will applaud their good sense to give over to such a caring and gentle soul!"

"Women!"

She rolled her eyes and hoisted Kallias into her arms like he weighed nothing. Pressing her cheek to his, she murmured, "Come, child. Let's get you home to your sister and away from these drunks before they get it in their sodden minds to take turns 'educating' you."

"I would... submit," Kallias whispered, arms wrapped tight around the back of her neck. "To Master or Young Master. I would submit and be happy to. But...those others..."

"Ruffians and idiots," she spat, earning a tired giggle from the boy in her arms. "The lot of them. You are no one's eromenos, my sweet, unless you want to be. Don't let a single one of them bully you into it."

"Do I have a choice?" That bleak tone coming from such a sweet, innocent-looking child made Rebecca's heart ache.

His Mistress apparently felt the same. "Oh, darling, yes! In this house, yes, you have a choice. You work the land, not my husband's or my son's cock, and certainly not any of those pigs they associate with."

As she made her way out of the house and across the darkened property, Rebecca ducked around the corner and kept listening. Such a fascinating family... and a captivating boy.

"I'm so sorry Adrian humiliated you like that. That was wrong of him."

Kallias sighed, letting his head drop onto her shoulder. Despite his age, he seemed content to be carted around like a big baby. "His hand was gentle, even so deep into his cups. Were it just us, it might have been...pleasant."

Her smile was audible in her voice as she confirmed, "Yes, he certainly is gentle, for such a boorish man. It's why we have three children."

"You're a brave woman."

Clearly detecting the pain behind the compliment, the boy's mistress set him down on his feet and clutched his bony shoulders. "Listen to me, my dearest. Not all women die in childbed; if we did, humanity would cease to exist." Kallias began to cry, silent tears streaking down his cheeks, and Rebecca watched the other woman kiss them away, wishing she was standing in her place. "I am so sorry we couldn't save your mother, my darling. She was a formidable woman, and I liked her very much. Every day, I pray for her, and to her."

"You pray to her?" His voice was hoarse, choked with tears, but surprisingly steady as he stared at her. "Why? What do you say?"

"I thank her for bringing you into my life." Rebecca could hear the smile in the Greek woman's voice, and couldn't help but answer it with one of her own, tinged with sadness though it was for the sweet, broken boy they both loved. "I congratulate her on bearing such a strong, wise, compassionate son into the world, and repeat the vow I gave her when she died: To always love you as my own, and protect you any way I can. And I ask her to watch over you when I can't. My Kallias..." She stroked his hair, gently smoothing the unruly curls back from his face. "My sweet, beautiful, resilient Kallias... If I had my way, you would sleep in comfort in the main house, just like your brother and sisters. For that is how I think of you, dear heart - we may not share blood nor homeland, but you are my son. I love you as surely as I love Castor."

"...And Artemis?" The vampire skulking in the shadows was surprised by the note of bitter hatred she heard clearly in his voice. Who was Artemis?

His mistress sighed. "She's young yet, dearest; not yet a person. I would never see any harm come to her, for your dear mother's sake if nothing else, but it's not possible to love someone you don't know, and you can't know someone who's not yet developed a personality." Her voice took on a slight edge as she added, "Nor yet can you hate them."

Kallias scowled, looking away. "I do hate her!"

"No, sweetness," she cooed, brushing his hair back again to kiss his forehead. "That's not hatred that burns at you. It's grief and pain and loneliness with no outlet."

His sister. It finally dawned on Rebecca that the two she was spying on were talking about the boy's sister. Artemis must have been the baby whose birth had killed their mother. So, the child had lived while the mother hadn't? That was rare; from what she'd seen and read, women who died in childbirth usually took their babies to the grave with them. Judging from the look on his face, she had a feeling Kallias wished that had been the case here, too.

He didn't respond, and Rebecca watched his companion sigh again and reach for his hand. "Come, child. Let's get you home before anyone else decides to accost you for 'fun'."

Silently trailing them back to a tiny hut behind the main house, the vampire was somewhat bewildered when Kallias stopped just outside the door, head hanging and a hand pressed lightly over his groin. "...Does it always feel like that?"

His mistress let out a chuckle that sounded more than a little uncomfortable. "I don't know, my dear. Perhaps you should ask Castor when you're older. He'd be of more use to you than Adrian, I think. Now go on. It's best you stay inside with Artemis until morning."

"I won't hurt her," he murmured, one hand on the door.

She nodded. "I know."

Slowly, as if in a trance, the boy turned to look at her over his shoulder. Even their ruthless hidden audience shivered at the cold, lifeless look in his eyes. "But I want to."

"I know that, too, darling."

"Am I evil?"

"No." She cupped his jaw, tilting his head up to make him look her in the eye. "No, my boy. You're human; we all have flaws, and dark thoughts. It's okay to think evil things, Kallias; you're only evil when you act on those thoughts. You're lost and hurting, and she's an easy target. Anyone would have such thoughts in your place. But every day, you defy those thoughts and you care for her; keep her safe and healthy. That makes you inherently good."

The second she let her hand drop back to her side, his face fell. "I still think I'm evil."

"Why?"

"She's too young to understand. She's not formed yet, like you said..." He moved as if he was going to go inside and let that be the end of it, but stopped again and whispered, "Sometimes in my dreams, she's older and I cut her open and hollow her out. So she'll feel how I feel, and can understand why."

There was a long, horrified silence. As if suddenly realizing what he'd said, Kallias cleared his throat and assured her, "I won't. I promise I never will. I just..."

"We can talk about it later." Sounding exhausted and resigned, she urged him once more, "Go on inside."

"Yes, ma'am."

Once he obeyed and she heard the door latch behind him, she sighed and turned toward Rebecca's hiding place. "I know you're there, creature. You might as well come out now."

Startled, the redhead found herself stepping out of the deeper shadows and into the soft moonlight before she'd even fully processed the fact that a human had noticed her. "How long...?"

"Walk with me." Her voice was soft, but her tone was a firm command. Intrigued, Rebecca followed her to the edge of the property, away from prying eyes and ears. "I could feel you skulking about all day."

"And here I thought I was being subtle."

"You were. No one else knows."

Curiouser and curiouser... She smiled, watching the first mortal she'd met in a long, long time who wasn't the least bit afraid of her. "Then how-"

"You can't have him." Finally, she turned to look the startled vampire in the eye, her gaze steady and angry. "That sweet boy has a future, and I won't let you steal it from him."

"It's not really up to you." Rebecca held up her hand when she started to protest and clarified, "I have no intention of bringing his childhood to an abrupt and bloody end. When he's older, I will give him the choice." Idly, she wondered what to call this woman, but opted not to bother asking.

"Isidora." When the other woman blinked, she gave her a cold smile. "You were wondering what my name is, and you can't read me."

"But you can read me, I take it?"

"Easily, Rebecca." Seeing the redhead grimace at the sound of the name she'd fought so hard to leave behind her, Isidora only smiled wider. "It's a gift I've always had. I'm perfectly shielded, but I can read everyone else."

"Then you know every member of your family wants to do unspeakable things to that little boy."

She nodded. "I'm the only one who isn't sexually attracted to him, yes. And I hardly feel you're in a position to judge, given the fact that you, too, want to bed him."

Fair enough, Rebecca had to concede with a shrug and a nod, though she had too much pride to say the words aloud. She didn't, yet, but if he grew up to be as gorgeous as he was cute then, she'd absolutely jump his bones in a heartbeat.

"Kallias is beautiful," Isidora went on, arms crossed. "He is intelligent and kind-"

"Not to his sister."

She looked like she wanted to argue, but instead she agreed with a sneer, "No. No, he hates her even more than he loved his mother. He doesn't have words to express it yet, but he wants to visit upon little Artemis every horror he watched his mother endure before they were sold to my husband. But he never will," she asserted. "Rape isn't in his nature."

"If he can think it, he can do it." Even though she knew exactly how cynical she was being, Rebecca still snarled, "Rape is in every man's nature."

"We both know that isn't true. Stop being difficult." Damn, this lady really had the Exasperated Mom Voice down pat! "My point is simply this: Kallias is too good for your world, and I will not let you drag him into it. I'm working on getting him freed, getting him rights and a real life. My daughters are both close to his age and are both infatuated with him. If he is willing, I will see him marry into this family and live out his life in peace and comfort."

Again, Rebecca blinked, taken aback. "You're trying to turn a foreign slave into a free Greek by marriage? To one of your own daughters?"

"Dareia is the logical choice on the surface," she continued as if the vampire hadn't spoken. "She's older and has a more settled, domestic nature. She's taken quite well to her sewing, cooking, and art lessons, and is a natural caregiver... But therein lies the issue, of course. She's been helping to raise Artemis, and I know my Kallias can never be happy with his sister forever underfoot. And so I am trying, quietly, to steer Eurydice toward the marriage path. She's a little more spirited, but she's young yet; perhaps she will settle once they're wed."

"Jesus, do you even hear yourself?" Somehow, she found Isidora's plans more horrifying than her young slave's dark fantasies. "They're children! Let them be children! Scoff at 'my world' all you like, but at least I want to give Kallias a childhood!"

"He's nearly a man."

"He's only thirteen! And how old are your daughters?!"

"Fifteen and twelve." Isidora rolled her eyes. "I am not having them married tomorrow. They can't, until I can have Kallias freed, and even then I won't force the issue if he doesn't want her."

This whole thing sounded so insane, she couldn't bear to hear another word about it. With a huff, Rebecca shook her head. "Look, just... Do whatever you want. I'm staying nearby until he's finished growing, to watch over him and keep him as safe as I can."

"And if he is happily married and raising a family of his own when you return?"

"I will still give him the choice." They stood in mirrored poses, staring each other down. Isidora was noticeably shorter than Rebecca, but to her credit, held herself with such regal bearing that the height difference became negligible. "I'll explain everything - the good and the bad - about being a vampire, and will leave it up to him to decide. If he's truly happy and doesn't want to leave this life, that will be the end of it. You have my word. But if he chooses to turn, I will kill anyone who tries to stop me."

Isidora flashed her a cold, calculating smile. "I wish you luck with that."

random story snippet

@goblin-tea this is part of that story I was talking about/sending you bits of. I'll get into the better stuff (imo) in a bit, but this is a much better example of what the main characters are like than what I sent earlier lol

“I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore, Toto,” she mumbled, still clinging to Audrey’s hand as she nervously followed Fiona’s example and took a moment to study the immediate area.

“No shit, Sherlock,” the blonde growled, yanking her hand away. Rebecca could stand there like an idiot if she chose, but damn it! She was going to explore and find a way home, right now. Clearly, her friend’s oh-so-brilliant spell had backfired quite horribly, and now they were lost, with no idea of where they were, when they were, or what was going…

Her thoughts were jarringly interrupted when Rebecca suddenly let out a short, high-pitched scream, causing both of her friends to jump.

“WHAT?!” Spinning to face the taller woman, she took a deep breath in preparation to chew her out, and then promptly hid behind her. “…Is that a dinosaur?”

“Deinonychus,” Rebecca confirmed in a reverent whisper. Her screech had been from excitement, rather than fear; the giant grin on her freckled face was evidence enough of that. Though she knew she was the only one who cared about the details, she still explained in a rush, “Fast, smart, and very deadly carnivore from the late Cretaceous period, probably the basis for the oversized velociraptors in Jurassic Park… A raptor’s colorful feathers make it look like a ridiculous, disproportionate toucan, which is probably why the producers chose to make it look more like our friend here. Fossils of the deinonychus have never been found with any indication of feathers.”

“It does have feathers, you walking Wiki!” Audrey hissed, stepping back. No way in hell was she going to stand there like an idiot and get eaten by some parrot on crack.

Fiona remained rooted in place beside the other redhead, though she did stoop to pick up Rebecca's forgotten staff, just in case the curious animal decided to attack. A tiny smile played at the edges of her lips at the toucan comparison. It did sort of look like one, in a weird way…

Swallowing past the sudden lump in her throat, their nerdy friend nodded. “Yeah… Most of this type of dinosaur did, so paleontologists kinda figured the deinonychus would, too.”

The prehistoric bird of prey studied them, almost seeming to ponder something. Just as Rebecca was about to make a Philosoraptor joke, the fascinating – if deadly – beast twitched, letting out a series of loud clicking noises.

“…Huh. Whaddaya know. That dude on youtube was right…” An answering call echoed from somewhere to the left of the three shivering girls, and startled the amateur paleontologist out of her daze. “Oh shit.”

“What?” Both of her friends shot her nervous glances, reluctant to take their eyes off of the giant predator. Why wasn’t it moving?

“Run.” When Fiona shot her an incredulous look, Rebecca shook her head. Normally, yes, she would caution against any sudden moves around a wild animal, but this was different. More clicks from their right, answered by the one animal they could see, illustrated why. “He’s calling in reinforcements – run!”

That was all the motivation the shivering blonde needed. With a terrified shriek, Audrey turned and bolted into the forest, Rebecca and Fiona hot on her heels.

“I think it’s safe to assume,” the oldest woman gasped out, jumping over a fallen tree limb, “that we’ve somehow been sent back too far.”

“Ya THINK?!”

"Now's not the time to get snippy!” Her lungs were burning, her legs cramping, and though she could hear the creature gaining on them, she had a sneaking suspicion that it wasn’t putting forth much effort. She and her surrogate sister were both overweight to the point of obesity, and as such, speed wasn’t exactly on their side. In fact, it had been one of the things they’d hoped to go back and change; if they never got fat, they wouldn’t have to deal with the health problems associated with it or the hassle of constantly trying and failing to lose it.

Risking a glance to the side, she noticed Fiona keeping pace with them, and winced. She was hanging back to help them, she knew. By far the skinniest and healthiest of the three of them, she was lightning fast compared to the other two. While both her companions were morbidly obese, Fiona was lithe and fit, with legs like a gazelle. She was going slowly so she could defend them with that big stick if she had to. That was the only logical explanation Rebecca could come up with. The fact that the 'big stick' was her own walking stick was momentarily lost on the eldest of the three.

Mother above, she prayed desperately, if there’s even a trace of magic left in my blood, please, please unleash it now to give us speed.

Too angry and frightened to bother with logic, Audrey just rolled her eyes, yelping when it caused her to trip over a rock and nearly sent her sprawling. Fiona caught her by the arm and helped her steady herself, and she managed a tiny grateful smile, even as she snapped at the redhead, “Shut up! It’s your fault that we’re in our own personal Jurassic Hell, being chased by a fucking raptor!”

“Cretaceous!” Rebecca snarled, dodging around a rather intimidating thorny bush. “And it’s not a raptor, it’s-”

“I DON’T CARE!”

“It’s actually quite fascinating,” Rebecca asserted through wheezing gasps for breath, “if you think about it. We finally… get to see… proof… that dino…saurs… were more like…flightless…birds…than…”

“I don’t give a shit if we’re being chased by an ostrich or a crocodile!” Audrey screeched before her friend could finish. “If I end up something’s lunch, it’s your fault! And you know what? Fuck you! Fuck your stupid spell. Fuck your obsessions. Fuck your fucking imaginary friend and the horse you both rode in on for good measure!” Even in a life-or-death situation, somehow an old inside joke popped into her head, and she managed to suck in a deep enough breath to scream, "AND YES, HE'S NAMED 'SIDEWAYS'!"

“Guys, this really isn’t the time to be arguing,” Fiona pointed out as calmly as she could, glancing over her shoulder to see how they were faring. It wasn't good. She could deal with Audrey and her rather offensive temper tantrum later, she decided; escaping the turkey-sized ball of feathers and teeth chasing them took precedence.

“Sorry…” Pouting a little, the blonde risked a glance back, and nearly wet herself when she saw that their prehistoric pursuer was getting closer and closer. “Oh, fuck me…” Something brushed the side of her head, and she jumped, but it was only a leaf hanging down from another large tree.

Wait. Leaf…tree… She glanced up, relieved to see that the branch was low enough for her to grab hold. Circling around so that she wouldn’t get caught by their feathered menace, she pushed herself just a little bit more and managed to haul herself up onto the branch. “Guys!”

“What are you doing?!” Rebecca cried, having been too focused on running to notice where Audrey had gone. Fiona had been taking up the rear, focus switching between the others and the predator, but had been looking primarily in the latter’s direction for a few minutes. When she turned and saw only Rebecca standing there, she froze and glanced around. As they spotted Audrey in the tree, they also became aware of the fact that their enemy seemed a lot closer than before.

“Can raptors climb?” Audrey called out, wincing as she watched the scene unfold. Though she had long legs and strong, muscular calves, Rebecca outweighed her by a good fifty pounds, and it was visibly taking its toll. She was tiring, and the blonde just prayed she could pull herself up to safety before that thing or its as-yet unseen companions ripped her apart. She had plenty of reasons not to worry too much about Fiona.

“Come on.” Urging her tiring friend on, the skinnier redhead decided to take at least this one cue from Audrey and circled around the trunk of a massive tree, making sure Rebecca followed. It confused their attacker, bought them a little time, and kept them from getting out of earshot of Audrey.

At her friend’s soft, gentle reminder of what she’d been asked, Rebecca frowned. She wanted to remind the treed woman that they weren’t being chased by a velociraptor, but dismissed it as a waste of time. Instead, she considered her question as she doubled back.

Could this breed of dinosaurs climb? “I…I’m not sure,” she panted, one hand coming up to press against her chest. “I don’t think so. Their arms are probably too small to pull them up.”

“Then get your ass up here!”

They reached the tree, and Fiona quickly jumped up like it was nothing, setting the staff aside and braced across two nearby branches to keep it from falling. She and Audrey then each stretched out an arm, hands extended to grab Rebecca’s and pull her up as the youngest of the three continued, “And pray Jurassic Park was wrong about more than just the raptor’s appearance, cuz here he comes, and if he brought friends, you’re toast!”

“It’s not a raptor!” Rebecca reached for their hands, though she harbored little hope that she could actually get her fat ass up there. With or without their help, in her mind, she was dead.

“Please note, you’re the only one who cares,” the other young woman grumbled, grasping her friend’s wrist and exerting every bit of strength she had left to pull her to safety. Rebecca had virtually no upper body strength, and without Audrey and Fiona, would never be able to make it up onto the branch, despite being taller than both of them.

She almost dropped the larger girl when she suddenly yelped. Fiona glared at her, trying to compensate by taking more of their friend’s weight until she got a better grip on her arm.

Still a bit startled, she searched Rebecca’s eyes for some sign of what the hell that had been about, and found only fear. “What? What’s wrong?”

“Pull me up! Pull me up!” Refusing to say anything else, she gritted her teeth and pushed with all her might, kicking all the while. What she knew the blonde couldn’t see from her perch was that the dinosaur had caught up to her while they both struggled, and had grabbed hold of her calf with its sharp claws. Suddenly, she was glad for the long leather boots that, only moments before, she’d been cursing.

As the creature went for Rebecca again, Fiona grabbed the staff and whacked it as hard as she could over the head. It turned on her for a moment, but before it could do anything, Rebecca kicked it in the face. Taking advantage of the opportunity she’d just created, she stood on the hungry animal’s head and pushed off. At last, she was seated on the rough limb, with the deinonychus just barely out of reach. Gasping desperately for air as she turned and clung to Audrey, she glanced down at the bewildered creature and managed a breathless “thanks!” The moment Rebecca was safely out of reach, Fiona crept along the branch and headed for a different one. The tree was old and strong, but the three of them in the same spot could easily snap the branch and send them right to the dinosaur’s clutches.

Once she settled on another perch, they sat there for a moment, contemplating their luck, both good and bad, and watching the hungry animal watch them. All three knew that with a little effort, the thing could probably reach the two on the lower branch with those lethal, powerful jaws. Since it had clearly not yet figured this out, none of them really cared. Audrey was exhausted and sore, the entirety of her plump body throbbing unbearably now that adrenaline had begun to flee her as she had fled the dinosaur. Fiona was desperately trying to get her breath back, and though she felt fine otherwise, she knew she’d feel like she’d been hit by a bus in the morning. Rebecca, too, was exhausted and sore, though the pain in her muscles and joints hadn’t yet registered. Her gaze shifted from the restless animal to the long jagged tears in the back of her skirt, which she studied with a sort of numb, detached fascination.

“Well,” she said finally, still scarcely able to breathe. “That was exhilarating.”

Fiona laughed.

“Exhilarating?” Audrey gaped at her. “Are you fucking kidding me? We just almost became something’s soon-to-be-fossilized lunch!”

Shrugging, Rebecca glanced down at the prehistoric lizard…bird…thing. And suddenly she felt pity for it, and all the living things around them. After a long silence, during which the deinonychus finally lost interest and stormed off in search of easier prey, she finally murmured, “We survived, didn’t we? That’s more than anything else in this time period can say.” Where were its companions? The question bubbled up out of nowhere, and once formed, refused to be dismissed. She'd heard it call to someone, and heard an answer... Or had she? Had she imagined it all?

“We don’t belong in this time period!” Audrey's reply startled her out of her confused reverie. Her voice was shrill, expression aghast as she stared at the other woman as if she’d lost her mind. Perhaps that was obvious. For a second, she considered that maybe shehad gone mad, and this whole nightmarish situation was just a scene playing out in her ever-overactive imagination.

Then she shifted, and the ankle she’d twisted when she tripped on a rock sent a twinge of pain up her leg. The idea of any of this being anything less than horribly, undeniably real was scrapped, and she glanced around. She would merely search for makeshift supplies, she decided. She would rewrite Rebecca’s stupid spell, and get them back to the present. If this experience was meant to teach them anything, she was sure it was that the past can’t be changed, which she was suddenly ready to accept as Gospel truth. Life sucked, but they could make it better if they just focused less on whining about it, and more on actually doing something about it.

A strange weight on her mind drew her from her thoughts and she turned to look. Rebecca was staring at her.

Huffing a bit, she gestured to her shredded clothing. “That’s going to get infected. You’ll probably die before the week is out.”

“Thanks, Captain Optimism,” the other woman growled, rolling her eyes.

“We don’t have anything to wrap it with!” she snapped, interrupting her friend’s attempt to assure her that she was fine.

“I can rip something if you want,” Fiona offered, gesturing to her clothes.

“We have no idea what’s poisonous and what’s not,” Audrey continued to rant as if the other young woman hadn’t spoken, “We’re about sixty-five million years away from peroxide, never mind penicillin. And all of this is assuming you just get some kind of nasty infection. Every carnivore with at least one nostril can probably smell all that blood for miles. If we don’t get the hell back to modern times, you are going to die!”

To shut her up, Rebecca sighed and reached down, shoving her torn skirt out of the way to show the long scratches across her boot. She could see them alright through the slashes in her skirt, but clearly Audrey was less observant. “I’m not bleeding, genius. He was aiming to grab, not gut; he didn’t get through the leather.” She gestured, but wasn’t the least bit surprised when Audrey only shook her head and looked away.

“I’m just worried about you,” she whispered, much more subdued as the fight slowly drained from her. “You got lucky this time, but as long as we stay here, we’re in danger every second, from everything.”

As if only just then remembering that Fiona was there, she whipped around and stared up over her shoulder at her. "And how the hell are you still corporeal? How were you ever in the first place? I mean, nice to meet you, I guess? But what the actual fuck is going on?!"
