Word count: 1.8k

Tw: both sophie and Fitz are messes with which Dex must deal, so business as usual. Also post-unlocked so Keefe just ran off.

On Ao3 or below the cut! Other chapters can be found here

He’s gone.

Keefe. Lord Hunkyhair. Master Prankster Supreme.

Sophie hailed me earlier today to tell me that he’s run away to the human world, which shouldn’t be surprising anymore considering his track record.

I just don’t know how to process this anymore.

Foster seems to be holding together better than I am, which is a good sign.

I know Lord Hunkyhair said to not try to find him in his letter, but he wouldn’t listen to us if the roles were reversed, and technically he told Foster not to find him, not just anyone in the Foster Squad…

Challenge Accepted.

If you think about it, me trying to find him will be an indicator of how easy it is for the Neverseen’s technopath to find him.

They know where the gaps of Forklenator’s Watchward Heath surveillance cameras are, so they probably know how to get in there, and if they apply a facial recognition algorithm to the cameras—like I did with Ethan Benedict Wright II—then they’ll probably be able to find Hunkyhair faster than a gulon can fart.

My train of thought gets derailed as Biana hails me, so I answer, just in case there’s more Earth-shattering news. You never know.

“Hi Dex,” she says, waving. “I need you to not leave Fitzipoo alone so he doesn’t go destroy anything. He’ll be there as soon as I can herd him over to the Leapmaster. Thanks!”

She clicks off before I can respond, even though my brain is still processing.

Why do I have to be his babysitter?

I run—and by run I mean walk relatively quickly—downstairs to the front door and open it right before Wonderboy knocks.

“Perfect timing,” I say with half a laugh.

He nods sharply, clearly angry. I’m gonna guess it’s mostly about Hunkyhair.

“If you need to destroy anything just run around with the triplets for a few minutes. The average time between destruction of any of the different breakable objects is about four seconds,” I say as we hear something being smashed nearby. I don’t even want to know anymore.

I take a quick detour to the kitchen to pick up some Mallowmelt before heading to my room, which is a disaster zone in itself. I strongly believe Mallowmelt is the solution to ninety percent of the world’s problems.

“Wait,” he says, still in the kitchen. “Do you mind if I make something?”

“Is this something known colloquially as a ‘mess’?” I ask.

He smiles his movie-star smile at that, and replies, “Maybe…”

“Just let me run up to my room to grab a gadget. Don’t want to make Biana mad and I’m not exactly the best baker.”

He scoffs at the second point, calling after me, “But somehow you’re great at alchemy. Totally believable!”

I grab a human laptop, wanting to see if I can use it to locate Hunkyhair. By the time I get back, Wonderboy is rummaging through the cabinets, and most of the ingredients for something are currently on the counters.

Then, I get a hail from Sophie, wanting me to come over to her house. I don’t want to bring Fitz over there—that would very easily go badly—and I can’t leave him alone.

I don’t want to do this, but there isn’t much of a choice.

I tell Wonderboy, “I’m going to run over to Havenfield, and I need you to not tell the scary Biana about this.”

I turn toward the last sound that I heard from the triplets’ destruction and call, loud enough so that they can’t ignore me, “Lex! Rex! Bex! Can you come over here for a minute?”

As they’re running over here at top speed, I turn to Wonderboy and say, “I’m pretty sure I could say one of their names three times and they would all come running.”

He nods in agreement, although I’m not totally sure he heard me. He’s kinda focused on not making a total mess instead of whatever he’s making. I should ask but I can deal with that later.

Or he’s making a very specific mess.

“Can you three make sure he doesn’t burn down the house or destroy anything that you designate as not being allowed to destroy? I’ll make you up some prank elixirs when I get back and have a second. I’ve gotta run over to Foster’s house for a minute, and I expect the house to still be standing when I get back.”

I dig out a crystal with a path to Havenfield—at this point it’s easier than having to run over to the Leapmaster every five minutes—and Lovise and I leap over there.

When I see Sophie, she nearly knocks me down with a tackle-hug. I’m so glad that we moved past all the weird awkwardness and we can still be best friends.

I realise that I’m standing there like a dead fish, so I wrap my arms around her, and she mumbles something into my shoulder, where her head is buried.

I know instinctively that she is saying sorry for the tackle-hug without a warning, so I whisper, “You’re fine, Sophie.”

She pulls away from me and turns to walk to her room. I follow, and when we get there, she collapses facedown on the bed.

She mumbles more into the pillows—that is a nice pile of pillows there—and I think we’ve achieved the level of friendship that words aren’t even necessary.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Iggy’s been dyed in a tie-dye mermaid pattern with tiger stripes, which isn’t one of the elixirs we sell at the store, but it’s pretty enough that I mentally jot it down to create one. I have a long mental list of projects. Huh.

“Sophie,” I say, making sure I have her attention, “what can I do to help that makes me feel like I’m actually doing something instead of sitting here as emotional support, which is still important, don’t get me wrong, it just feels like I’m doing noth—“

She cuts me off by saying my name before I keep talking for a few days, and when I look into her eyes, I see a desperate plea to find Keefe.

And a shadow of guilt for thinking about it.

I nod, and pull out my Imparter. I connected it to the Internet a little while back after Sophie wanted to connect her iPod to it, and I figured I might as well.

I’m still standing at this point, and I know I will be here for more than ten seconds, so I sit down on the edge of her bed, and give Ella a quick pat on the head.

“If you want me to find him and drag his butt back over here I am willing and able. If you just want me to find and keep an eye on him, that’s also an option, but if the Neverseen’s Technopath can figure out how to tap into any of our devices—it’s not that hard if you know what you’re doing. Although, if I can detect them while they’re accessing one of our devices, I’ll probably be able to track their location. Oh, that’s actually a mildly good idea…”

I trail off, typing furiously on my Imparter, before I remember I’m not alone.

“Sorry. My brain sometimes just runs with an idea like that. Technopath problems.”

Sophie turns around and sits up slightly to ask, “How long do you think it’ll take to find him? And, also, is there a way to delete your history or use incognito mode or something like that?”

“Timeline depends if I can search for him at Watchward Heath, I can always buy another Imparter if I need it or I have some human laptops if I want to use them instead, and, last, but not least, you used a conjunction in between each of the items in the list instead of just between the last two.”

She laughs at my third point, clearly not prepared for a grammar lesson in the middle of another conversation.

From his station in the corner, Sandor orders, “You are not going to Watchward Heath. I’m sure Mr. Forkle would highly disapprove, especially after that little stunt you pulled at the Neverseen’s wearhouse. And don’t you even think about sneaking away.”

He must’ve hit a nerve because Sophie snaps, “I don’t think you care one bit that Keefe’s gone. If anything, you’re glad that he isn’t here!”

“Miss Foster—“

“No. No ‘Miss Foster’-ing me. You know it’s true, right, Dex?”

“What’s my correct response? Because I either get Inflicted on by my best friend or impaled by a Goblin sword, so…I don’t want to die…”

Honestly, after all the rants Keefe’s had about how overprotective Gigantor is and how he’s one of the many, and by many I mean many, reasons Team Foster-Keefe is still in the friendzone, I have to agree with Foster.

Sophie and Gigantor glare at each other for at least a good thirty seconds, while I sit there awkwardly.

“May I propose a compromise?” I ask tentatively.

I didn’t get told no, so I continue, “What if we ask Amy to keep an eye out for him? So we don’t accidentally reveal his location, and if she can find him, then, assuming the Neverseen are monitoring the Forbidden Cities, we’ll know that they know where he is, and then we’ll figure out where to go from there.”

“But you said the Neverseen’s Technopath might be able to tap into our devices, and if they can access a conversation with Amy, then they’ll know our plan,” Sophie argues.

“If Sandor’s willing, you could teleport us to Amy’s house to talk to her in person.” I meant it as a statement, but the end rises in pitch like a question.

“I’m guessing that you would like to embark on this trip to the human world spontaneously. But, as long as you bring Lovise and me, along with getting your parents permission, Miss Foster.” Sandor instructed.

“Actually, I have to get back home, assuming it’s still standing. Biana left me in charge of Wonderboy, and I had to leave the triplets in charge of him to run over here, so can we maybe schedule it tomorrow or—wait a minute, I have a collab session with Tinker then—whenever it works for Amy’s schedule? I can message her as soon as I get back and I’ll let you know. If I forget, ask me again in a few hours. I have some human computers which are going to be safer because the Neverseen hopefully don’t know I have them, and if they do, then they’re watching us much closer than any of us realise.”

On that cheerful note, I say goodbye to Foster and Gigantor, and leap back home.

Which is neither on fire nor a pile of rubble, thankfully.

Tom & the Cookie Monster Take 2

Author’s note: @villainousshakespeare , this idea came and hit me like a brick. Hopefully it did not leave any lasting damage, nor will it give you any by reading it. Anyway, you requested: “May I please have a Tom himself fic (since you are so good at those!) maybe something set during the Broadway run of Betrayal?“ I do not know if this will live up to your praise, as this is but a shortie, but I hope you enjoy, here is your promised prompt, my dearest friend:

Two male Hiddlestons made their way through the hallway towards their apartment door. One was prancing, sprightly and happy. The other was proceeding at a trudge.

Tom was tired, and he had every reason to be. It was Saturday night, which meant there had been the matinee production, as well as the evening show of Betrayal. And while the show was going extremely well, the pace was still grueling some days.

Like today. And yesterday’s. And last week’s...

He rifled through his keys, snickering as he remembered how one fan he spoke to was under the assumption he was living in a penthouse apartment on Fifth Avenue. Erm, no. He had quite a nice furnished flat, in a secure building where he did not have to be concerned any random fan could interrupt his rare moments of private life, but it was simply a nice flat. And at the moment, one of his neighbors was evidently baking biscuits, and his stomach growled.

And not just any biscuits, but chocolate chip biscuits. Damn it. Now he was hungry, and even though he knew of at least half a dozen places that would deliver even at this hour, he was tired, and didn’t feel like interacting with anyone. He wished to take his public face off, just as he had removed his stage make up a couple of hours ago, but then went and spent the time afterwards doing stage door appearances for his fans. Which he loved doing. But now, he just felt drained.

As he found the right key, Bobby was sitting at the door obediently, but Tom could see the dog was all but vibrating to be let in. “Bob, what is it, man?” As Tom unlocked the door, Bobby let out a joyous bark and sped in so rapidly Tom was grateful he had dropped the lead, or his shoulder would have suffered a hell of a jerk.

Tom walked in, his eyes bouncing quickly, dropping his bag and pulling out his phone in a reflexive action. While he had never had a fan break into any of his digs, it had happened to several of his friends, and his fingers were already preparing to call security, even as he recognized the smell of biscuits was even stronger now.

Apparently whomever Bobby had run to greet had baked for him. Which was a pretty decent thing to do, stalker-behavior aside.

“You forgot I was coming tonight, didn’t you?” The familiar female voice was amused, as her yet-to-be-seen form was bent over in the kitchen, acknowledging Bobby’s slavish adoration.

Oh, shit. He had.

He dropped his keys in the small dish she had given him to keep his keys when she learned he kept misplacing them.

“How much trouble am I in?” Even his voice was dull.

“Oh, honestly, Tom.” An arm came up from behind him, hugging his waist and brandishing a freshly baked treat, so fresh it was being held in a napkin. “If you’re so tired that you can’t even remember having given your extra key to someone for just this purpose, I think that speaks more to exhaustion than culpability. Have a cookie, Cookie. I made them just like the recipe printed on the bag, so I can’t have messed it up too badly...”

Then another hand snaked around his waist, this one bearing the body and face of none other than the Cookie Monster, who proceeded to menace the other hand’s bounty. “Delayed gratification, Hiddleston!!” Now the female voice behind him was growly and raspy. “No cookies for you, you must practice the art of...”

“Oh, fuck that,” quoth Tom, grabbing the napkin and spinning around to the laughing face of his baker-cum-stalker. “Get the hell away from my biscuits, Cookie Monster, and take your delayed gratification and get stuffed...”

“It’s a puppet, darling, I don’t think they can get stuffed...”

“No, but they can get a fist right up their...”

“Shut up, Tom, and eat your cookie! I am shocked, shocked and appalled by your uncouth behavior...” laughed Sabrina Wright, who was clearly neither shocked nor appalled.

Tom met Sabrina three months ago, when he did an impromptu visit at a children’s hospital as Loki, complete with costume. The entire event was kept under wraps and unpublicized, as it wasn’t sponsored by anyone. Chris Evans had come to the area to visit a friend who was facing surgery, and between him, Charlie Cox, and Tom, they hatched the idea. Then at the last minute, Brie Larson found out about the plan and came along as well.

The children were ecstatic and a “Marvelous time was had by all” as Tom kept saying later, much to everyone’s general disgust as they kept throwing things at him at his apartment...but Tom had noticed that while everyone, children, parents, siblings, and staff were excited and clamoring to be involved in the fun, there were a few patients that were just too ill to participate, and he and his friends made a point to leave some things aside for those kids to have, and to see if there was anything they could do for them once the furor calmed down.

There was one nurse that never joined in the carefully controlled chaos, but went about caring for, and ultimately consoling, the ones who wished to play but couldn’t, or were too ill to notice, or care. Tom saw her picking one child up, and simply rocking him in her arms in a rocking chair for awhile, rubbing his back, and apparently singing to him. He made a mental note to say hello to her as well. He knew there was always someone that had to stay behind and work when everyone was enjoying these kinds of parties, and he wanted to let her know he saw and was touched by the work she was doing with so much heart.

Once the brouhaha and the dust settled, Loki stepped aside, found Nurse Sabrina, and asked if the other children would be interested in seeing the Marvel crew, and she grimaced.

“It’s very kind of you to inquire, uh, Loki, if you and your...cohort would like to perhaps wave at the children from the doorway if they are awake, that would be fine, but that is the most I can allow. They really are quite sick.”

Chris stepped up. “Is it all right if we leave them some signed posters and things like that?”

“Cap, I know that would make them very happy, even if we have to put them up outside of their rooms, looking in...!”

Loki looked into the room where he had seen the little boy Sabrina had rocked. He seemed so frail... “Erm, that little boy...will he be alright?”

Sabrina’s face buttoned up. “I’m afraid I cannot comment on his prognosis, Loki. I will say...I wish you had healing powers. For all of these children, obviously...but especially for him. He was so distressed he could not come out and see you, in particular. He thinks you are, ah, badass. I do not bother correcting his more colorful speech. It’s not relevant.”

“I see. Is he awake?”

“Yes, he is, but I cannot allow you to go in...”

“I understand...tell this young Midgardian to expect a visit in a few minutes...”

One of the giveaway items they had was a small t shirt, which Tom had signed by both characters and actors, and then proceeded to his room.

Small Tim Curran was wondering why Nurse Sabrina had come in, and insisted that she comb his hair, and wash his face...and then...

“Midgardian.”

“Holy sh...smokes,” the little boy breathed. Standing in the doorway was none other than the OG, the badass himself... “Loki?”

“I understand you are unwell and as such I am not to enter your presence. I would not wish to undermine your recovery. However, I come bearing gifts.”

Sabrina entered, grinning from ear to ear, and showed him the T-shirt. Loki had even doodled his face next to his name. “I have embued it with as much healing seidr as possible. I do not know if it will be effective against your Midgardian illness, but I do know it will aid your prodigious courage and strength, provided you heed the instructions of Healer Sabrina, and all others who are working in your aid.”

Captain Marvel, Captain America, and Daredevil also spoke to him personally, adding what qualities they added to his shirt.

Tim was in heaven, and as Sabrina was looking at his vitals, saw he was getting over excited, and thought she would have to cut the visit short, but seeing as she was getting concerned, the actors all proclaimed they needed to depart to return to their duties.

Tim fell asleep that night clutching his shirt, and would not be parted from it. Loki would be pleased to know it did impart healing powers, because it brought the little boy so much happiness...

Tom called Sabrina the next day, and asked if there was anything else he could do for the children in the wing, and Sabrina replied they were still very excited, and he had done more than enough. She was very grateful. She was also very thankful he called to speak with her personally, not because she was flattered on a personal standpoint (although she was) but because her superiors in administration would be quick to turn it into a publicity request or worse, a financial one).

Tom shyly admitted he did have an ulterior motive for asking to speak with her personally...he wanted to know if he could see her sometime.

Something about the small nurse had gotten under his skin. Maybe it was the way she stuck to the background the entire afternoon, even when everyone was getting into the big group photo. Maybe it was the way she never asked for a thing herself, even when they were all speaking casually and privately at the end, when she easily could have. No one would have minded, and even Evans and Larson commented on it over pizza and beer later that evening, how she didn’t ask for a selfie, an autograph, nothing, even though she was as friendly and pleasant as old be...

Cox noticed how Tom blushed when Evans joked about he couldn’t get over someone didn’t want to get a photo with the man who saved New York, or the bastard that almost destroyed it. Cox noticed everything...as he was leaving for the night, he asked Tom, “Are you going to try to get Nurse Ratched’s phone number?”

Tom had flared, “Don’t do that. Don’t make fun of her.”

Cox grinned. “Ah hah. So that’s the way the wind is blowing...” and walked away, whistling.

Coffee became an exchange of What’s App phone numbers. Both of them worked long hours, so texting was a godsend. Texts became marathon phone calls at odd hours of the day, which became meetings in strange places to avoid the paparazzi, until they stumbled into each other’s arms, and each other’s beds.

Sabrina was like no one Tom had ever met: calm, compassionate, cheerful, and not giving a tinker’s damn about the industry, gossip columns, and all the rest of it. When he hesitantly pointed this aspect of her personality out to her she looked at him as though he was something of interest under a microscope.

“Sweet man, I act like I don’t care because I truly don’t. It’s completely irrelevant. Unimportant. Trifling. I have held children’s beating hearts in my hands while doctors have desperately tried to sew them back together in operating rooms because bullets ripped through their little bodies and their bedrooms in housing projects. I’ve held hysterical parents back as they’ve tried to somehow willtheir dying children back to life as they take their last breaths. I’ve held newborns in my hands as they have been only seconds old, and I have held children in my arms as they’ve breathed their last. That, to me, is real. That is life. And it comes wrapped up in tears and laughter and vomit and shit and blood and love and love and love. If some paparazzi, interviewer, man on the street, or tabloid tried to give me shit for loving you, ask me how much I’d care? The answer is not at all. It’s not going to change my mind, or my life.”

Tom knew, then, he had found his one, the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, and grow old with, maybe even have a family of his own with...the question was, would she want the same...?

“...Tom? Tom?...Earth to Major...oh, you know what? Forget about it, Major Tom has crashed, Houston, we have a problem,” sighed Sabrina looking at her lover who had fallen asleep on the sofa still clutching part of a cookie he had yet to finish.

“Well, Bobby, it looks like another night of delayed gratification for me...good thing he’s so cute, and I happen to love the charming beanpole,” she commented wryly, only to see that Bobby was also lying on the floor asleep...and farting.

“Good God, what is it with the Hiddleston men tonight, I wonder?” Laughing quietly, Sabrina got up and made sure the bed was ready (and not in the hapless disarray of clothing tossed all around, which was not usual but happened enough to be worthy of a check). She turned down the covers and made sure there was a bottle of water on Tom’s nightstand.

As she was doing this, Tom woke up with a jerk, and he looked around for Sabrina. He wasn’t quite awake, wasn’t asleep, and Sabrina wasn’t there...she wasn’t there, she had finally done it, come to her senses and left him, he had forgotten she was coming to spend the weekend with him, one the rare occurrences she had the entire weekend off, and then he goes and falls asleep on her, no, noton her, but next to her like a right pillock, as if she wasn’t even there...no, no...he knew it was going to happen eventually, she was too lovely a person to put up with him and his bullshit, the way he was so self-absorbed and caught up in his own problems and life, she was right, she dealt in the real world, and...

He put his head in his hands. “I’m sorry, Sabrina...so sorry. You deserved better, but I loved you the best I could,” he whispered. “I gave you all the heart I have...”

“What’s this then?” A soft voice, sweet like melted chocolate, soothing as a warm kiss...

“Sabrina!” His head shot up so quickly she winced at the cracking sound from his neck, and then saw his reddened, swollen eyes.

“Ah, love, what is it? Nightmare?” She came and extended her hand to him. “Come with me, you’re exhausted, and we’ll cuddle.”

“You’re still here.”

She looked at him tolerantly. “Yes, Tom. Still here. Complete with my Cookie Monster puppet, just to drive you mad. Come to bed. I’ll snuggle with you and chase the bads away, I promise. The only monster here is the blue one eyeing your cookies, and I’ve put him away.”

He took her small hand, and smiled. “There will be no delayed gratification in this house. We will enjoy the things we love, and live the one life we have to its fullest...no longer am I going to delay giving my heart what it desires most...I shall be bold, and decisive...Bobby, you have my express permission, nay, encouragement, to destroy the Cookie Monster, and anything else that dares come between myself and my love...”

Yes. He would be bold. Tomorrow, he would ask her if she would consider becoming a permanent star in his sky, he would stop living in fear of her disappearing the moment he closed his eyes, he would throw caution to the four winds, and belay any idea of delaying his happiness, and hopefully, hers, for any reason, a moment longer. There would be declarations made, and promises, and...

He tripped over his shoes.

“Careful! Harsh, Tom, very harsh...and Bobby, don’t you dare.” They turned off the lights and made their way to bed, Tom sleepily stripping along the way, making Sabrina laugh. “Ah, what the world to pay to see this strip show...”

“Quiet, Woman. This is not a strip show, this is a ritual divestiture of armor.”

“Uh huh,” she skeptically agreed, looking at the trail of clothes behind him. “So, if I was to get undressed like that...”

“Ah, now that would be a strip show, and a lovely one, indeed...”

“Sexist double standards...here, sit down, I will tuck you in...”

“Promise?”

“Tom!”

The naughty little boy expression he gave her was ruined by his yawn he could barely cover. Sabrina laughed as she quickly undressed and put on her sleep clothes, only to be greeted by Tom’s gentle snore the moment she turned out the light. He was so very tired. She was glad he could relax, and find some rest.

And while yes, it was definitely a night for delayed gratification, they had the whole weekend to look forward to sharing. She, for one, was so looking forward to bringing out the Cookie Monster puppet in the morning...maybe as part of a wake up call...

1824 Aug., Fri. 27

6 3/4

11 1/2

Expected the person from Waller’s at 8 – Did not come till 8 35/60 – Buckley came at 9 25/60 – Makes silk pelisses, spencers, morning gown – Their business is chiefly with the ladies – Plain black silk pelisse 11 1/2 guineas, much trimmed 14 guineas.

Breakfast at 10 – Wrote 1 1/2 page to my aunt – Went out at 12 – To Temple Bar, up Fetter-Lane etc. to No. 54 Hatton Garden, to the office of the sitting magistrates – After waiting 1/4 hour, admitted into the room where sat the 3 magistrates (a private business about a great robbery had kept the room private before) –

Asked permission to see the tread-mill – They hemmed and ahed – Said they were not the visiting magistrates – Could not grant me permission – Asked who could – They gave no direct answer – I said a person at Clerkenwell had told me yesterday the sitting magistrate in Hatton Garden could give permission, but if he could not I only wished to know to whom I ought to apply –

They asked if I was alone – Then said it was for my own sake they would not grant permission – It was not a fit sight for me to see alone – I expressed my utter ignorance of this, but said would it not be enough to have a police officer with me to protect me against the tread-wheel people, the parcel of felons, as one of the magistrates called them –

He said the governor would not admit the police officer, for a police officer had no business there – That thinnest and most gentlemanlike magistrate then said I must give my name and address – They were obliged to be particular about admitting strangers – I said I was Miss L– [Lister]. The gentleman asked if any relation to the Ribblesdale family – I answered of the same family originally, but far too distant to be called a relation –

He said if I would call again tomorrow and bring some respectable man with me, I should have permission to see the tread-mill – I answered I would bring the master of the hotel – Thought I to myself, it is not worth such trouble, but I am determined not to be beaten – Felt a little annoyed at the moment but it soon wore of[f] –

In returning, strolled almost to the end of High Holborn, then down Chancery Lane, turned into Lincoln's Inn, and walked along-side Lincoln’s Inn garden – Went out at the other end, thro’ Chichester vents into Chancery Lane again – Thence along Fleet to Saint Paul’s, into Saint Martin’s le Grand to see the new post-office –

The building of the underground story just raised even with the ground – A curious collection of differently sized and shaped compartments – Counted above 50 workmen – probably there were several more – It will be a noble building, fronting in a long line into Saint Martin’s le Grand, close to Newgate Street –

Then along Cheapside, and down Queen Street in a direct line to the new iron bridge (the Southwark bridge) finished in 1819 – Paid a penny to go up it – Stood gazing from the middle of it (1st 1 side then the other) a minute or 2 – The new London bridge to be on this side (West, of the old one) –

Having gone just off the bridge into Southwark, was obliged to pay another penny to return again – Along Thames Street into Bridge Street (full of insurance offices), along Fleet Street and the Strand to Piccadilly –

At the end of Thames Street, close to Bridge Street, passed the office of “Mr. Vallance” close to that of “Mr. Dempster,” surely the partner of Mr. James V– [Vallance] Miss V– [Vallance]’s brother – No high situation even for an attorney –

Walked to the end of Surrey Street and back, in returning along the Strand – Called at Dobson’s, No. 166 Strand – The self pointing pencils 10 /. [shillings] each – Pocket mariners’ compasses from 7 or 8 shillings to 2 or 3 guineas – Wood, the bookseller near Saint Martins in the Strand, recommended by Whitley to give me information about the publishers of the Zoological Journal etc, not at home –

Found myself in Piccadilly at 3 1/2 – Too soon to come home – Sauntered Pall-Mall East and the new buildings there abouts, then along the new buildings beyond Regent Street, etc. Then walked to No. 1 New Bond Street and Mr. Truefitt cut my hair in 20 minutes, and himself being wanted (by appointment) his head man dressed it in half hour more – In large curls, not low down the face –

Surprised to find I had only 1/2 crown to pay – He would give Lady’s maids lessons, an hour each lesson for 5 /. [shillings] and 4 lessons might might be enough to teach them to dress a crop – Said Mr. Truefitt, ‘They cannot cut hair so well in Paris as London’; but he believed Monsieur Taileur in the Palace Royal was the best cutter – I was to be careful not to let them cut too much off –

Strolled to the end of (up and down) the Burlington passage (by the Shonbridge in Bond Street only asks 1 1/2 guineas for ladies riding hats) then made the best of my way, got home at 5 35/60 and sat down to dinner at 5 40/60 –

Gravy soup and roast beef very good, potatoes and kidney beans, and hot cherry-and-currant tart – and another pint of port – Mr. Webbe brought in the beef – Told him the difficulty about the tread-mill and asked him to go with me tomorrow – He very civilly said he would, with pleasure. As also to the Jew’s synagogue –

Got a card from Walwyn and Gayford, wine merchants, 7 Old Bond Street and 1 Burlington Arcade – Mr. Webb said it was all a puff – Asked him about Wright in the Haymarket piazzas – Still worse, said Mr. Webb – That man somehow makes it answer to pay £900 a year for advertisements tho’ he never has a customer a 2nd time –

You can only get good wine from a respectable merchant and must pay the price – Griffith’s Pall-Mall, the best – Could not get good old wine under £3 a dozen gents gentlemen generally cheated in buying wine unless they employed someone who understood it – Griffiths perhaps would not sell such wine as I was now drinking at 60 /. [shillings] (£3., a dozen) but Mr. Webbe had 3 pipes of it, and would let me have some if I chose –

After dinner, [wrote] the whole of this (but the 1st 1/2 lines) of today which took me till 8 – By the way, it struck me this morning from the prices marked in the windows, that one should go to Cheapside for cheap bargains –

Mr. Webbe recollects Mr. Lawton (Charles). I asked him, having heard from M– [Mariana] that he recollected Mr. Webb – From Mr. W– [Webb]’s description (he knows Ms. Lawtons) it must be C[harles] L[awton]– He was here Mr. W– [Webb] thought 5 years ago, but it might be longer –

From his habits and manners (up all night in bed all day) Mr. W– [Webb] thought he gambled a great deal, and was rather in a low way – He had a friend here, a Captain Baker, a sad dissipated scamp whom Mr. Webb got out of several scrapes (the watch-house etc) and at last lost £25 by him –

Very fine day – As warm as yesterday. Fahrenheit 70º at this moment (8 5/60) in my writing desk – Wrote the latter 1/2 page and the 1st 1/2 page 3 of my letters began this morning to my aunt, and wrote a page to M– [Mariana], all which took me till 10 10/60 –

Went to my room at 10 ¼. E [two dots, treating venereal complaint] O [no dots, marking discharge]

Part 2 of @LaFemmeAd’s Walking Tour covers the stops mentioned on Anne’s outing from today’s entry as well as tomorrow’s from 28 Aug. 1824!

Are you a magician? Because whenever I look at you, everyone else disappears!

I’m not a photographer, but I can picture me and you together.

Are you a camera? Because every time I look at you, I smile.

Did you sit in a pile of sugar? Cause you have a pretty sweet ass.

Do you have a Band-Aid? Because I just scraped my knee falling for you.

If you were a vegetable you’d be a cute-cumber.

I seem to have lost my phone number. Can I have yours?

Is your daddy a Baker? Because you’ve got some nice buns!

There are people who say Disneyland is the happiest place on earth. Apparently, none of them have ever been in your arms.

Did you invent the airplane? Cause you seem Wright for me.

Do you have a map? I’m getting lost in your eyes.

Are you my Appendix? Because I have a funny feeling in my stomach that makes me feel like I should take you out.

I’m sorry, I don’t think we’ve met. I wouldn’t forget a pretty face like that.

Does your left eye hurt? Because you’ve been looking right all day.

I will stop loving you when an apple grows from a mango tree on the 30th of February.

You look cold. Want to use me as a blanket?

I was so enchanted by your beauty that I ran into that wall over there. So I’m going to need your name and number for insurance purposes.

You’re the only girl I love now… but in ten years, I’ll love another girl. She’ll call you ‘Mommy.’

Can I take your picture to prove to all my friends that angels do exist?

I tried my best to not feel anything for you. Guess what? I failed.

Hey, don’t frown. You never know who could be falling in love with your smile.

My doctor says I’m lacking Vitamin U.

Can I follow you home? Cause my parents always told me to follow my dreams.

Because of you, I laugh a little harder, cry a little less, and smile a lot more.

For a moment I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Now I see that I am very much alive, and heaven has been brought to me.

You look so familiar… didn’t we take a class together? I could’ve sworn we had chemistry.

Was your dad a boxer? Cause you’re a knockout!

You’re so beautiful that you made me forget my pickup line.

I was wondering if you had an extra heart mine seems to have been stolen

I thought happiness started with an H. Why does mine start with U?

If I were a cat I’d spend all 9 lives with you.

Do you work at Starbucks? Because I like you a latte.

Are you a banana? Because I find you a-peeling

There isn’t a word in the dictionary for how good you look.

Me without you is like a nerd without braces, A shoe without laces, aSentenceWithoutSpaces

Babe, your beauty makes the morning sun look like the dull glimmer of the moon.

I must be a snowflake, because I’ve fallen for you.

There is something wrong with my cell phone. It doesn’t have your number in it.

You must be a hell of a thief because you stole my heart from across the room.

Do you have a twin sister? Then you must be the most beautiful girl in the world!

You know I’d like to invite you over, but I’m afraid you’re so hot that you’ll skyrocket my air-conditioning bill.

If you were a booger I’d pick you first.

Do you know what I did last night? I looked up at the stars, and matched each one with a reason why I love you.

Excuse me, I think you have something in your eye. Oh wait, it’s just a sparkle.

If I were to ask you out on a date, would your answer be the same as the answer to this question?

You’re kinda, sorta, basically, pretty much always on my mind.

My love for you is like diarrhea, I just can’t hold it in.

When I first saw you I looked for a signature, because every masterpiece has one.

I like Legos, you like Legos, why don’t we build a relationship?

You may be asked to leave soon, you’re making all the other women look bad.

Would you grab my arm so I can tell my friends I’ve been touched by an angel?

If a thousand painters worked for a thousand years, they could not create a work of art as beautiful as you.

Rejection can lead to emotional stress for both parties involved and emotional stress can lead to physical complications such as headaches, ulcers, cancerous tumors, and even death! So for my health and yours, JUST SAY YES!

Of all the beautiful curves on your body, your smile is my favorite.

No wonder the sky is grey today, all the blue is in your eyes.

I’m no organ donor but I’d be happy to give you my heart.

If I had a penny for every time I thought of you, I’d have exactly one cent, because you never leave my mind.

Hershey’s makes millions of kisses a day.. .all I’m asking for is one from you.

Life without you would be like a broken pencil… pointless.

Kiss me if I’m wrong, but dinosaurs still exist, right?

If I received a nickel for everytime I saw someone as beautiful as you, I’d have five cents.

If nothing lasts forever, will you be my nothing?

You are like a candy bar: half sweet and half nuts.

How was heaven when you left it?

Did you fart, cause you blew me away.

You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

I didn’t know that angels could fly so low!

There must be something wrong with my eyes, I can’t take them off you.

Is your name “swiffer”? ‘Cause you just swept me off my feet.

Are you going to kiss me or do I have to lie to my diary?

If stars would fall everytime I would think of you, the sky would soon be empty

Your lips look so lonely…. Would they like to meet mine?

Baby, you’re so sweet, you put Hershey’s outta business.

Did the sun come out or did you just smile at me?

So there you are! I’ve been looking all over for YOU, the woman of my dreams!

Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?

Excuse me, I just noticed you noticing me and I just wanted to give you notice that I noticed you too.

Somebody better call God, cuz heaven’s missing an angel!

If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put ‘U’ and 'I’ together.

If your heart was a prison, I would like to be sentenced for life.

Was you father an alien? Because there’s nothing else like you on Earth!

What time do you have to be back in heaven?

Your legs must be tired because you’ve been running through my mind all night.

Was your father a thief? 'Cause someone stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes.

Do you have a pencil? Cause I want to erase your past and write our future.

I love you like a pig loves not being bacon.

Are your parents bakers? Cause they sure made you a cutie pie!

Did you go to bed early last night? From the looks of it, you got your beauty sleep.

I’d say God Bless you, but it looks like he already did.

I must be in a museum, because you truly are a work of art.

Let’s commit the perfect crime: I’ll steal your heart, and you’ll steal mine.

You spend so much time in my mind, I should charge you rent.

If kisses were snowflakes, I’d send you a blizzard

Are you my phone charger? Because without you, I’d die.

How come you’re not on top of a Christmas tree? I thought that’s where angels belonged.

Are you a cat? Cause you are purrrfect

If you were a tropical fruit, you’d be a Fine-apple!

I wish I was cross eyed, so I could see you twice.

Are you on Nickelodeon? Cause you’re a-Dora-ble!

I don’t know if you’re beautiful, I haven’t gotten past your eyes yet.

You don’t need keys to drive me crazy

Can you take me to the doctor? Because I just broke my leg falling for you

You must be a ninja, because you snuck into my heart

Your eyes are blue, like the ocean. I’m lost at sea

If I had to choose between breathing or loving you, I would say “I love you” with my last breath.

You must be Jamaican, because Jamaican me crazy.

When God made you, he was showing off.

You’re like a dictionary, you add meaning to my life!

Is there a rainbow today? I just found the treasure I’ve been searching for!

I didn’t see any stars in the sky tonight, the most heavenly body was standing right next to me.

If I could reach out and hold a star for everytime you’ve made me smile, I’d hold the whole universe in the palm of my hand.

Should I smile because we are friends, or cry because I know that is what we will ever be?

When I look into your eyes, it is like a gateway into the world of which I want to be a part.

(hold out hand) Would you hold this for me while I go for a walk?

This time next year let’s be laughing together.

Let me tie your shoes, cause I dont want you falling for anyone else.

Are you a beaver? Cause daaaaam!

I hope your day has been as beautiful as you are.

Excuse me, I don’t want you to think I’m ridiculous or anything, but you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I just felt like I had to tell you.

I have had a really bad day and it always makes me feel better to see a pretty girl smile. So, would you smile for me?

I hope you know CPR, cuz you take my breath away!

I just had to come talk with you. Sweetness is my weakness.

I think I can die happy now, cause I’ve just seen a piece of heaven.

Were your parents Greek Gods, 'cause it takes two gods to make a goddess.

Are you Australian? Because you meet all of my koala-fications

You better call Life Alert, 'cause I’ve fallen for you and I can’t get up.

You’re single. I’m single. Coincidence? I think not.

You know, you might be asked to leave soon. You’re making the other women look really bad.

Hi, I’m writing a term paper on the finer things in life, and I was wondering if I could interview you?

You are so beautiful that you give the sun a reason to shine.

Someone should call the police, because you just stole my heart!

Baby, you’re so hot, you make the equator look like the north pole.

You’re hotter than Papa Bear’s porridge.

If I had to choose between one night with you or winning the lottery…I would chose winning the lottery…but it would be close…real close…

You’re hotter than donut grease.

Are you the moon? Because even when it’s dark, you still seem to shine.

I never need to see the sun again because your eyes light up my world.

It’s dark in here. Wait! It’s because all of the light is shining on you.

Your hand looks heavy. Let me hold it for you.

Are you a kidnapper? Because you just abducted my heart.

Can you pull this heart-shaped arrow out of my butt? A damn little kid with wings shot me.

You look beautiful today, just like every other day.

When I’m older, I’ll look back at all of my crowning memories, and I’ll think of the day my children were born, the day I got married, and the day that I met you.

fantasy au preview

here’s that thing i said i would do

Dark green hills rolled along at a leisurely pace until they made met with a babbling crystal creek. The stream poured out of the mouth of a small bridge and leapt down from craggy rock to craggy rock until it pooled at the base of the stone outcropping. Running water laboriously turned a large wooden waterwheel that powered a secluded mill.

The mill was a clumsy little lean-to nestled on the border of a wild forest. Ivy crept up the sides and entangled itself around the rock all the way up to the thatched roof of the cheerful house. Despite its abandoned countenance, smoke plumed from the chimney. Looking through the windows a fire could be seen crackling.

Inside, Phoenix Wright knelt by the fire. His hand was in the middle of the bright flames, but it didn’t seem to be causing him any pain. He frowned in concentration, turning something over. A moment later, his hands emerged from the fire completely unharmed, brandishing perfectly cooked loaf of bread.

The fire mage set the steaming loaf on a wooden table. Humming pleasantly, he dusted the bread off with sugar and cinnamon before deeming it finished.

She’s going to love it! Phoenix thought as he packed his still-burning-hot creation into a little basket. His hand went to the little blue bottle hanging around his neck. A shimmery, misty substance swam in the bottle that hung on a golden chain. Two golden arches met at the top of the bottle, forming a heart.

The pendant was a token of his true love. They had been courting for one month exactly, and Phoenix had to celebrate. He took the basket and left his house, taking the stairs down two at a time.

Dahlia lived on the far side of the forest. Phoenix took the time to enjoy his stroll through the woods, never tiring of its familiar sights. Sunlight shone through tree trunks, casting dappled patterns over the lush grass and dusky purple flowers.

Although the grove was beguilingly pretty, Phoenix knew better than to try and take any shortcuts. Potentially dangerous creatures lay in the depths of the forest. It was common knowledge to the area to stay on the enchanted main path for guaranteed safe travel.

That was why it was so strange when he spotted four people standing about twenty feet off the path ahead. Two among their company were quite small, likely children. The tiniest one looked no older than six, and she tightly clutched the older child’s hand. Like Phoenix, all four of them wore the hooded cloaks of mages. Unlike Phoenix, the strangers kept the hoods up, obscuring their faces.

The baker hoisted his basket closer. I should’ve remembered to bring my spellbook along with me…

Mages were generally cordial, if not exactly friendly towards each other, but it was unusual to come across them in groups. This could mean bad news.

One of the strangers, probably the leader, carried a tall, arched staff with a purple stone at the helm. They signaled for the rest of the company to approach Phoenix.

Well, too late now. They’d already spotted him.

They hovered a few feet away from the main path, frustratingly far enough that Phoenix still couldn’t discern any of their facial features.

“Enjoying your walk in the woods?” The leader said, her voice ringing clearly throughout the grove.

“Yeah! ...But, um, be careful, though. This place is pretty safe, but if you don’t want any trouble, you should stick to the path.”

“We want trouble, alright,” the other adult in the group piped up. Her voice sounded younger and more headstrong. “But not with you. Unless you’re going to give us reason.”

“Mia,” the leader shushed the younger woman. “No need for that.”

“I’m not going give you trouble!” Phoenix said, indignant.

“You’d better not! If you did...” A smaller mage with strange beads in her hair mimed throwing a punch.

Phoenix gulped. “Um, what kind of trouble are you even looking for, anyway?”

“That’s none of your busine-”

Mia was cut off by the leader, again.

“Perhaps you’ll recognize this?” The leader gestured at her cloak.

Her cloak, as well as the other three’s cloaks, were all pinned together with a large, smooth stone. Every one of them was a different color, but each were shaped into a crescent with a hole bore into the middle. It was unmistakably the Magatama, the marking of the Fey clan.

The Feys were very well known as some of the most powerful, mysterious mages all over the kingdom. Some regarded them as guardians of the Realm, celebrated fighters and Seers. Darker rumors abounded that they were terrible witches that practiced necromancy. Despite that suspicion, they seem to had won the trust of the King himself, for he frequently consorted with the clan.

Phoenix took a step back, awed and kind of afraid. He had never met a Fey, nor had he ever expected to. They were as elusive as most magical beasts, which only encouraged the many, many rumors about them.

“Wh-What’s the Fey clan doing here?”

This is more serious than I thought.

“We’re looking for someone,” Mia said gravelly. “We’ve tracked her here.”

“It’s probably nothing to worry about,” the leader soothed. “We’ll be in the area keeping an eye on things. But, as a request from one mage to another, please tell us if you witness any strange activity, alright?”

Phoenix’s heart fluttered nervously.

“...Of course.”

Phoenix arrived at Dahlia’s house a fair bit later than he desired.

From her porch, she spotted him and rushed over. Seeing her beautiful face, all his worries from the meeting the Feys melted away. Dollie was all that mattered, ever. Phoenix caught her in a hug.

“Dollie!” He greeted his lover eagerly. “I’m so glad to see you!”

“It’s so nice to see you too, Feenie,” Dahlia said, letting him twirl her around.

Phoenix beamed. He set her down and revealed his basket. “I brought something for you!”

“Did you?”

“Uh-huh,” the baker chirped. “It’s for our anniversary.”

Phoenix swore he saw her face scrunch into a frown, but it passed so fast that he must have imagined it.

“Anniversary?”

“We’ve been dating for a whole month now!”

“Oh, of course!” Dahlia’s laugh was like the tinkling of pretty bells. “How silly of me.”

“I baked you this,” he presented the basket proudly. “It took me ages to afford the sugar, but I did it for you, Dollie!”

“How sweet,” she cooed, accepting the basket. “Though, um, if it’s not too much trouble… can I ask you to do one more teensy-weensy little thing for me, Feenie?”

“Anything!”

Dahlia turned to face the him and suddenly Phoenix was faced with a world full of her pleading, lovely brown eyes. “I know I’ve asked before, but could I please, please have that pendant back? As a special gift for today?”

Phoenix faltered. His hand sought out the tiny bottle hanging around his neck. “Aww, but this is my token of affection from you. I could never give it up!”

“I can give you another token!” Dahlia said.

“I like it,” Phoenix protested.

Her head drooped. “Feenie, please. It’s what I want more than anything else in the world… You want this to be a good anniversary, don’t you?”

Phoenix couldn’t bear to see her looking so sad. “Um. You’d really give me another token?”

“Absolutely! I’ve been working on something for you much better than that old thing...”

“Well… if it’ll make you happy...”

Phoenix reluctantly fished out the pendant, and handed it over to Dahlia. In that moment, everything changed.

Kissh!

The misty substance violently ripped free of its confines, cracking the glass. It then soared into the air and plunged deep into Dahlia’s breast. A fierce wind whipped the trees around them into a frenzy. The howling gale was strong enough to send both of them flying.

On the far side of the clearing, Dahlia lay crumpled in a heap. Her red hair whirled wildly about her like a fiery storm.

Phoenix clambered to his feet and rushed towards her, “D-Dollie! Are you okay?”

Dahlia’s head jerked up, and suddenly she no longer seemed so fair. Her delicate features were contorted into a sneer and her pupils were blown dark. The baker faltered.

“...Dollie?”

She was up and on him in a flash. Startled, Phoenix fired sparks at her, not wanting to hurt her. Dahlia dodged his feeble attacks easily, countering his blows with a much more powerful stream of magic.

Wh-What? You can cast spells?

Terrified, Phoenix stumbled backwards, hurling miniature fireballs at Dahlia. The baker wished for the second time that day that he had thought to bring his spellbook with him. Without a magical artifact as a conduit for his spells, his attacks were scattered and weak.

The relentless maiden sent three more streaks of freezing blue sorcery that Phoenix dropped to the ground to avoid.

“Dollie, stop! Why are you doing this?” The baker begged.

Dahlia was gaining on him. In a last-ditch effort to win the duel, Phoenix waved his hands in front of him in an arc, creating a thick barrier of fire that careened out to meet her. She swooped left just in time, the attack singeing the sleeve of her dress. Nothing was enough.

The baker stood up and turned to flee. He was tackled and pinned by Dahlia. No amount of struggling would dislodge her. Phoenix stared helplessly up into the face of his lover.

“...You really are pathetic, you know,” Dahlia spat. “A promising fire mage like you, and you choose to become a baker instead? No wonder you can’t best me.”

Embarrassingly, Phoenix whimpered. Cheeks burning with shame, he tried to pull away, but Dahlia hooked a cruel finger under his jaw to keep him still.

“And what a worm.” Her voice raised jeeringly to imitate Phoenix. “Dollie, why are you doing this? Dollie, are you alright? Do you ever listen to how spineless you are? Do you seriously think anyone could ever love you?”

She paused to trace her finger along the underside of his chin in thought. “And yet, you did still help me in the end. I suppose I won’t kill you. No, I’ve got something much more amusing in mind...”

Finally, she let Phoenix’s chin drop. She closed her eyes and clutched the pendant, whispering some things in a language the baker didn’t recognize. When she opened her eyes, they glowed unnaturally bright.

Dahlia slammed the broken heart pendant into Phoenix’s chest to seal the spell. He screamed as he felt the metal, super-heated with magical energy, burn through his clothes and into his skin.

Phoenix’s consciousness fled.

Did you sit in a pile of sugar? Cause you have a pretty sweet ass.

I seem to have lost my phone number. Can I have yours?

Is your daddy a Baker? Because you’ve got some nice buns!

There are people who say Disneyland is the happiest place on earth. Apparently, none of them have ever been in your arms.

Did you invent the airplane? Cause you seem Wright for me.

Do you have a map? I’m getting lost in your eyes.

Are you my Appendix? Because I have a funny feeling in my stomach that makes me feel like I should take you out.

I’m sorry, I don’t think we’ve met. I wouldn’t forget a pretty face like that.

Does your left eye hurt? Because you’ve been looking right all day.

I will stop loving you when an apple grows from a mango tree on the 30th of February.

You look cold. Want to use me as a blanket?

I was so enchanted by your beauty that I ran into that wall over there. So I’m going to need your name and number for insurance purposes.

You’re the only girl I love now… but in ten years, I’ll love another girl. She’ll call you ‘Mommy.’

Can I take your picture to prove to all my friends that angels do exist?

I tried my best to not feel anything for you. Guess what? I failed.

Hey, don’t frown. You never know who could be falling in love with your smile.

My doctor says I’m lacking Vitamin U.

Can I follow you home? Cause my parents always told me to follow my dreams.

Because of you, I laugh a little harder, cry a little less, and smile a lot more.

For a moment I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Now I see that I am very much alive, and heaven has been brought to me.

You look so familiar… didn’t we take a class together? I could’ve sworn we had chemistry.

Was your dad a boxer? Cause you’re a knockout!

You’re so beautiful that you made me forget my pickup line.

I was wondering if you had an extra heart mine seems to have been stolen

I thought happiness started with an H. Why does mine start with U?

If I were a cat I’d spend all 9 lives with you.

Do you work at Starbucks? Because I like you a latte.

Are you a banana? Because I find you a-peeling

There isn’t a word in the dictionary for how good you look.

Me without you is like a nerd without braces, A shoe without laces, aSentenceWithoutSpaces

Babe, your beauty makes the morning sun look like the dull glimmer of the moon.

I must be a snowflake, because I’ve fallen for you.

There is something wrong with my cell phone. It doesn’t have your number in it.

You must be a hell of a thief because you stole my heart from across the room.

Do you have a twin sister? Then you must be the most beautiful girl in the world!

You know I’d like to invite you over, but I’m afraid you’re so hot that you’ll skyrocket my air-conditioning bill.

If you were a booger I’d pick you first.

Do you know what I did last night? I looked up at the stars, and matched each one with a reason why I love you.

Excuse me, I think you have something in your eye. Oh wait, it’s just a sparkle.

If I were to ask you out on a date, would your answer be the same as the answer to this question?

You’re kinda, sorta, basically, pretty much always on my mind.

My love for you is like diarrhea, I just can’t hold it in.

When I first saw you I looked for a signature, because every masterpiece has one.

I like Legos, you like Legos, why don’t we build a relationship?

You may be asked to leave soon, you’re making all the other women look bad.

Would you grab my arm so I can tell my friends I’ve been touched by an angel?

If a thousand painters worked for a thousand years, they could not create a work of art as beautiful as you.

Of all the beautiful curves on your body, your smile is my favorite.

No wonder the sky is grey today, all the blue is in your eyes.

I’m no organ donor but I’d be happy to give you my heart.

If I had a penny for every time I thought of you, I’d have exactly one cent, because you never leave my mind.

Hershey’s makes millions of kisses a day.. .all I’m asking for is one from you.

Life without you would be like a broken pencil… pointless.

Kiss me if I’m wrong, but dinosaurs still exist, right?

If I received a nickel for everytime I saw someone as beautiful as you, I’d have five cents.

If nothing lasts forever, will you be my nothing?

You are like a candy bar: half sweet and half nuts.

How was heaven when you left it?

Did you fart, cause you blew me away.

You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

I didn’t know that angels could fly so low!

There must be something wrong with my eyes, I can’t take them off you.

Is your name “swiffer”? ‘Cause you just swept me off my feet.

Are you going to kiss me or do I have to lie to my diary?

If stars would fall everytime I would think of you, the sky would soon be empty

Your lips look so lonely…. Would they like to meet mine?

Baby, you’re so sweet, you put Hershey’s outta business.

Did the sun come out or did you just smile at me?

So there you are! I’ve been looking all over for YOU, the woman of my dreams!

Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?

Excuse me, I just noticed you noticing me and I just wanted to give you notice that I noticed you too.

Somebody better call God, cuz heaven’s missing an angel!

If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put ‘U’ and 'I’ together.

If your heart was a prison, I would like to be sentenced for life.

Was you father an alien? Because there’s nothing else like you on Earth!

What time do you have to be back in heaven?

Your legs must be tired because you’ve been running through my mind all night.

Was your father a thief? 'Cause someone stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes.

Do you have a pencil? Cause I want to erase your past and write our future.

I love you like a pig loves not being bacon.

Are your parents bakers? Cause they sure made you a cutie pie!

Did you go to bed early last night? From the looks of it, you got your beauty sleep.

I’d say God Bless you, but it looks like he already did.

I must be in a museum, because you truly are a work of art.

Let’s commit the perfect crime: I’ll steal your heart, and you’ll steal mine.

You spend so much time in my mind, I should charge you rent.

If kisses were snowflakes, I’d send you a blizzard

Are you my phone charger? Because without you, I’d die.

How come you’re not on top of a Christmas tree? I thought that’s where angels belonged.

Are you a cat? Cause you are purrrfect

If you were a tropical fruit, you’d be a Fine-apple!

I wish I was cross eyed, so I could see you twice.

Are you on Nickelodeon? Cause you’re a-Dora-ble!

I don’t know if you’re beautiful, I haven’t gotten past your eyes yet.

You don’t need keys to drive me crazy

Can you take me to the doctor? Because I just broke my leg falling for you

You must be a ninja, because you snuck into my heart

Your eyes are blue, like the ocean. I’m lost at sea

If I had to choose between breathing or loving you, I would say “I love you” with my last breath.

You must be Jamaican, because Jamaican me crazy.

When God made you, he was showing off.

You’re like a dictionary, you add meaning to my life!

Is there a rainbow today? I just found the treasure I’ve been searching for!

If I could reach out and hold a star for everytime you’ve made me smile, I’d hold the whole universe in the palm of my hand.

Should I smile because we are friends, or cry because I know that is what we will ever be?

When I look into your eyes, it is like a gateway into the world of which I want to be a part.

(hold out hand) Would you hold this for me while I go for a walk?

This time next year let’s be laughing together.

Let me tie your shoes, cause I dont want you falling for anyone else.

Are you a beaver? Cause daaaaam!

I hope your day has been as beautiful as you are.

Excuse me, I don’t want you to think I’m ridiculous or anything, but you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I just felt like I had to tell you.

I have had a really bad day and it always makes me feel better to see a pretty girl smile. So, would you smile for me?

I hope you know CPR, cuz you take my breath away!

I just had to come talk with you. Sweetness is my weakness.

I think I can die happy now, cause I’ve just seen a piece of heaven.

Were your parents Greek Gods, 'cause it takes two gods to make a goddess.

Are you Australian? Because you meet all of my koala-fications

You better call Life Alert, 'cause I’ve fallen for you and I can’t get up.

You’re single. I’m single. Coincidence? I think not.

You know, you might be asked to leave soon. You’re making the other women look really bad.

You are so beautiful that you give the sun a reason to shine.

Someone should call the police, because you just stole my heart!

Baby, you’re so hot, you make the equator look like the north pole.

You’re hotter than Papa Bear’s porridge.

If I had to choose between one night with you or winning the lottery…I would chose winning the lottery…but it would be close…real close…

You’re hotter than donut grease.

Are you the moon? Because even when it’s dark, you still seem to shine.

I never need to see the sun again because your eyes light up my world.

It’s dark in here. Wait! It’s because all of the light is shining on you.

Your hand looks heavy. Let me hold it for you.

Are you a kidnapper? Because you just abducted my heart.

Can you pull this heart-shaped arrow out of my butt? A damn little kid with wings shot me.

You look beautiful today, just like every other day.

When I’m older, I’ll look back at all of my crowning memories, and I’ll think of the day my children were born, the day I got married, and the day that I met you.

If beauty were time, you’d be eternity

I’m lost. Can you tell me which road leads to your heart?

(Here’s my extremely long list of pickup lines my fren sent me)

14 June 2019

Ten-acity

Another busy week - I'm hoping to actually have some time to think at some point soon! - so some more bullet points:

It was the tenth anniversary of the Institute for Government this week #IfG10. A thread (38 tweets, my apologies) on our data work here, and a shorter thread on our digital work here. I had a great time chairing a brilliant panel on the future of policy making - video to come here

On a more ten-uous note... I was delighted to host a series of lightning talks - each lasting, yes, ten minutes - on technology, politics and poverty for the Orwell Foundation last weekend. Some more details on that - and my conversation with Claire Ainsley (Joseph Rowntree Foundation) and my old boss, Jean Seaton - to come in our future technology in government weeknote

I enjoyed the launch of the London Office of Technology and Innovation on Monday. My thread here, and more opinions to come in our weeknote, later today.

Although I suspect my most popular content of the week was this on Donald Trump referring to the Prince of Whales...

And on a completely different note - as it were - I love the name of the new parliamentary string quartet. (There's a joke to be made about a similar group being set up by Monty Python-loving Marxists calling themselves The Violins Inherent in the System, but I won't subject you to that.)

BOSTON | Red Sox reach 100 wins for 1st time since '46, beat Jays 1-0

New Post has been published on https://www.stl.news/boston-red-sox-reach-100-wins-for-1st-time-since-46-beat-jays-1-0/169695/

BOSTON | Red Sox reach 100 wins for 1st time since '46, beat Jays 1-0

BOSTON — The scoreboards at Fenway Park were all flashing “100 WINS” to celebrate the Red Sox reaching the milestone for the first time since Ted Williams returned from World War II. David Price was already thinking about No. 101.

“That’s what we’ve done all year,” Price said on Wednesday night after pitching seven innings of three-hit ball to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 1-0. “That’s why we have 100 wins right now.”

Price (15-6) struck out seven to win his sixth straight decision, leaving after 92 pitches with a lead earned when Rafael Devers scampered home on a wild pitch by Aaron Sanchez (4-6) in the fifth inning. The Red Sox left-hander is unbeaten in 11 starts and is 5-0 with a 1.56 ERA in five starts since the All-Star break.

Steven Wright pitched the eighth and Craig Kimbrel got three outs for his 39th save, and Boston’s magic number for clinching the AL East dropped to seven over the second-place New York Yankees.

“Don’t get me wrong; 100 is 100. But we’ve got bigger goals, obviously,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. “Today we got closer to one of those goals.”

A night after becoming the first major league team this year to clinch a playoff spot, Boston won for the 10th time in 14 games and moved a season-high 54 games above .500 for the first time since the 1946 team of Williams, Johnny Pesky, Bobby Doerr and Dom DiMaggio went 104-50.

The Red Sox need only to go 6-10 the rest of the season to break the franchise record of 105 wins, set in 1912. Boston also won 101 games in 1915.

“Somebody just told me it’s been done three times here and the last one was 70-something years ago,” first baseman Mitch Moreland said. “I think that speaks for itself.”

BLUE BLUE JAYS Sanchez allowed three hits and struck out six, allowing the game’s only run after Moreland walked to lead off the fifth. Devers reached on a fielder’s choice and took third when Brock Holt poked a single through the hole at shortstop on a hit-and-run.

Sanchez bounced a 2-2 pitch to Jackie Bradley Jr. in the dirt and past catcher Danny Jansen to the backstop, allowing Devers to score. “I love Price. I keep in touch with Price even to this day,” said Sanchez, who was teammates with Price in Toronto in 2015. “To go out there and match what he’s doing. … Just to go out there and have a special night like that was fun. It’s unfortunate they scored the way they did and we lost the way we did.”

Toronto fell to 1-8 at Fenway Park this year and dropped to a season-worst 15 games below .500.

DOUBLE DUTY Rowdy Tellez has seven doubles in his first seven games, the most for any player in the majors since 1908. Jonathan Davis had his first major league hit for Toronto, which hasn’t won back-to-back games since Aug. 24-25.

CENTURY CLUB Cora is the first manager with 100 wins in his first season with a club since Felipe Alou with the 2003 San Francisco Giants and the first in his initial season as a big league manager since Dusty Baker with the 1993 Giants.

FOR SALE Cora said Chris Sale, who returned to the mound on Tuesday night for the first time since Aug. 12, did not report any issues with his left shoulder. Sale was scheduled to play catch on Wednesday and throw a bullpen session on Friday. The plan is for him to pitch three innings against the New York Mets.

“He’s encouraged,” Cora said. “Yesterday was like his first big league outing. He was all over the plate. He admitted it — the game sped up on him.”

TRAINER’S ROOM Blue Jays: RHP Marcus Stroman, who hasn’t pitched since Sept. 3 because of a blister on his right index finger, may be done for the year, manager John Gibbons said.

Red Sox: RHP Matt Barnes who hasn’t pitched since Sept. 4 because of left hip inflammation, played catch on Monday and Tuesday, and he was scheduled to do so again on Wednesday.

UP NEXT Blue Jays: RHP Sam Gaviglio (3-8) pitches the series finale on Thursday night.

Red Sox: LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (12-4) takes the mound for Boston.

MLB roundup: Rockies stun Dodgers on McMahon HR

MLB roundup: Rockies stun Dodgers on McMahon HR

Ryan McMahon hit a three-run home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, and the Colorado Rockies rallied to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 in Denver on Saturday night.

It was the second straight night McMahon hit a game-winning home run against L.A. His two-run homer in the seventh inning Friday night gave the Rockies a 5-4 win.

Trevor Story started the rally with a one-out double off Scott Alexander. JT Chargois came on to face pinch hitter Nolan Arenado, who didn’t start because of a sore right shoulder that forced him out of Friday’s game.

Chargois (2-4) hit Arenado to put runners on first and second, and then got Ian Desmond on a force play that put runners on the corners. McMahon hit a 1-0 fastball over the fence in right-center field to give the Rockies the win and deny the Dodgers an opportunity to move into sole possession of first place in the National League West.

Reds 6, Diamondbacks 3

Pinch hitter Tucker Barnhart hit a two-run, go-ahead double in a four-run eighth inning to lead Cincinnati past visiting Arizona.

Barnhart hit a two-out double on a 3-2 pitch from Archie Bradley (3-4), and Billy Hamilton and Joey Votto added RBIs singles off reliever T.J. McFarland as the Reds improved to 14-5 in their last six series against division leaders.

David Peralta and Eduardo Escobar homered for the Diamondbacks, who have lost three of four. The game was delayed 40 minutes at the start because of rain.

Yankees 5, Rangers 3

Rookie Miguel Andujar hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the bottom of the seventh inning, Aroldis Chapman escaped a bases-loaded jam in the top of the ninth and New York held off Texas at Yankee Stadium.

Andujar broke a 3-3 deadlock when he lined a first-pitch 94 mph fastball from Chris Martin (1-3) into the right-center-field seats. It was Andujar’s 17th homer — fifth since the All-Star break — and 50th extra-base hit, the most among all first-year players.

Before the eventful seventh, the Yankees took a 3-1 lead on Giancarlo Stanton’s fourth homer in five games in the first inning, combined with an RBI double by Greg Bird in the first and a run-scoring single by Neil Walker in the sixth.

Red Sox 5, Orioles 0 (Game 1)

Jackie Bradley Jr. homered twice and Eduardo Nunez added one more while starter David Price struck out 10 in six innings as Boston defeated host Baltimore in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.

Price (12-6) always has been dominant at Camden Yards and turned in another solid performance in this win. The left-hander scattered five hits in those six shutout innings and didn’t surrender a walk.

The victory improved Price to 8-0 in his career at Baltimore. His 10 strikeouts were a season high and the most he’s had in a game since July 10, 2016.

Red Sox 6, Orioles 4 (Game 2)

J.D. Martinez homered twice, and the second one was a two-run tiebreaking shot that gave Boston a sweep of the doubleheader at Baltimore.

Martinez hit a solo homer earlier in the game, but his big hit came off Mike Wright Jr. (3-1) in the eighth. The two-run shot to left-center snapped a 3-3 tie.

Martinez finished 2-for-2 with two walks, two runs and three RBIs. He now has 37 homers and 104 RBIs, leading the majors in both categories.

Ryan Zimmerman bombed Jon Lester for the 21st multi-homer game of his career, powering visiting Washington past Chicago.

Zimmerman connected on a two-run shot in the first inning and a three-run homer in the fourth, mixing in a sacrifice fly in the third inning for a career-high-tying six RBIs.

Lester (12-5) was torched for nine runs (eight earned) in just 3 2/3 innings. He allowed 10 hits and one walk, striking out five, in his worst start of the season.

Mariners 3, Astros 2

Wade LeBlanc rebounded well from his previous start against Houston, and visiting Seattle turned a two-out ambush in the fourth inning into a third straight win.

The Mariners evened the season series with the Astros at 6-6 and will go for the sweep of the four-game weekend series on Sunday. The Astros have dropped seven consecutive games at Minute Maid Park, spanning three series.

LeBlanc continued what has been a solid showing by Seattle starters, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with five strikeouts over five innings. Mariners closer Edwin Diaz recorded his 45th save with a perfect ninth inning, including two strikeouts.

Athletics 7, Angels 0

Edwin Jackson took a shutout into the eighth inning, and Marcus Semien blasted two home runs to lead Oakland to victory at Los Angeles.

Jackson held the Angels scoreless on two hits through seven innings, but Los Angeles put a couple runners on base in the eighth, ending his night. The A’s bullpen bailed him out of the inning, and Jackson (4-2) wound up throwing 7 1/3 scoreless frames, allowing three hits and three walks while striking out six.

Semien led the A’s 14-hit attack with the two homers and a double, while Stephen Piscotty had three hits and Khris Davis hit his 34th home run of the season.

Pirates 4, Giants 0

Josh Bell hit the only home run on Barry Bonds jersey retirement night in San Francisco, a three-run shot in the fourth inning that propelled Pittsburgh to victory.

Trevor Williams (10-8) continued his brilliant pitching with seven innings of five-hit ball, helping the Pirates clinch the season series over the Giants with a fourth win in six games.

The Giants retired Bonds’ No. 25 prior to the game with a ceremony that included appearances from Willie Mays, Willie McCovey and Dusty Baker. The ceremony included in-stadium speeches and video tributes to the all-time home run king.

Brewers 4, Braves 2

Mike Moustakas delivered a two-run double to spark a three-run eighth-inning rally and help Milwaukee defeat host Atlanta.

Christian Yelich began the inning by reaching on a throwing error by reliever Jesse Biddle (3-1), and Lorenzo Cain followed with a single.

Moustakas then banged a one-strike pitch into the left field corner to drive in two runs. Milwaukee, which had lost four of its last five games, evened the three-game series with the Braves.

Phillies 5, Padres 1

Aaron Nola worked six scoreless innings and Maikel Franco and Cesar Hernandez hit solo home runs as Philadelphia cruised at San Diego to move back into sole possession of first in the National League East.

Nola improved to 13-3 while lowering his ERA to 2.28. He allowed four hits and three walks while striking out five.

Slideshow (18 Images)

Padres rookie Walker Lockett fell to 0-3, giving up five runs on five hits and two walks with two strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings, as the Phillies evened the series at a win apiece.

Indians 3, White Sox 1

Michael Brantley and Jose Ramirez went deep in consecutive at-bats, and Cleveland held off host Chicago.

Indians right-hander Trevor Bauer (12-6) stymied the White Sox through 6 1/3 innings before he was drilled on the back of his right leg by a line drive from White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu. Bauer spoke with the team’s trainer near the mound before slowly walking off the field and into the clubhouse.

Bauer allowed one run on two hits. He walked none and fanned eight, pushing his season total to 214 strikeouts in 166 innings.

Cardinals 8, Royals 3

Rookie Jack Flaherty tossed seven strong innings and five St. Louis batters collected two hits apiece in a rout at Kansas City.

The Cardinals scored all the runs they’d need with five straight two-out hits in the third off Danny Duffy (7-11). Yadier Molina doubled, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on Jose Martinez’s single. Marcell Ozuna (triple), Paul DeJong (double) and Jedd Gyorko (single) followed with RBI hits to make it 4-0.

The Cardinals have won the first two games of the three-game interleague “I-70” series and four straight overall to improve to 15-9 under interim manager Mike Shildt.

Twins 4, Tigers 3

Tyler Austin blasted a two-run homer in his Minnesota debut, and Kyle Gibson pitched seven strong innings in a win at Detroit.

Austin was acquired from the New York Yankees on July 30 in the Lance Lynn trade and recalled from Triple-A Rochester this weekend. He hit eight homers in 34 games with the Yankees earlier this season.

Gibson (6-9) gave up one run on seven hits and struck out four. Trevor Hildenberger survived a two-run Niko Goodrum homer in the ninth to record his first save this season and second of his career.

Rays 3, Blue Jays 1

Joey Wendle had two hits, including an RBI double, and Willy Adames also had two hits and an RBI as visiting Tampa Bay defeated Toronto.

The Rays have won the first two games of the three-game series and lead the season series 7-1.

Blue Jays starter Sam Gaviglio (2-5) allowed two runs (one earned) and six hits while striking out seven in 5 1/3 innings and is still looking for his first win since May 25, a span of 14 starts.

Marlins 4, Mets 3 (11 innings)

Pinch hitter Bryan Holaday pulled a walk-off, RBI double down the third base line in the 11th inning as host Miami defeated New York.

Seven Marlins relievers — including winner Javy Guerra (1-0) — combined to pitch 6 1/3 scoreless innings.

Mets rookie reliever Jacob Rhame (0-2) took the loss, allowing a leadoff single by Miguel Rojas, a Magneuris Sierra sacrifice bunt and then Holaday’s double on a 1-1 slider. Todd Frazier led New York with a double and three RBIs.
