#sebastien. starter.

[ofbloodandsnow]

// open starter @lunarcovestarters location: the Magnolia Inn, just after the White Elephant

Having heard of the White Elephant, Sébastien had made an effort to dress well for the occasion, participant or not but after the chaos of the night, he really didn't know why he bothered with it all. It was strange. He felt oddly unburdened, like he'd finally dropped this invisible weight he'd hardly noticed he'd been carrying until it threatened to break him in half.

Now, he was rumpled, carefree and practically itching to try out magic. 238 years old and not once had he attempted magic. He knew he was a dangerous man, it was what he was raised to be but magic? Magic had always been just too dangerous to even attempt. The only way to try magic was take some first. Finally throwing caution to the wind, he moved slowly through the panic, watching his potential prey, til he locked eyes with someone. Hello.

SENTENCE MEME ⟶ SAINTS BLOOD by SEBASTIEN DE CASTELL / ch10 - ch18 always feel free to tweak the sentence to fit your muse.

'three against thirteen is terrible odds.'

'i wouldn't know. i've never had that much money.'

'you'll try to kill me, of course.'

'then you'll be dead /and/ embarrassed.'

'i know it isn't your usual approach, but i'd suggest you consider surrender.'

'the last time i surrendered to someone they tortured me until there was almost nothing left of me.'

'there's always luck. and red, bloody rage.'

'you're killing her.'

'i'm not sure if you've noticed but the bad men here are pointing weapons at us.'

'i really need to find a new job. one that doesn't involve swords.'

'you don't reason with mobs for the same reason you don't reason with hordes of fire ants: they're too stupid to understand what you're saying and eventually they'll just swarm over you.'

'try not to get torn to pieces.'

'this is what you do, you know.'

'you throw yourself into fights you have no real chance of winning.'

'it's the only thing i know how to do that ever works.'

'it's a /staff/, not a stick.'

'say there, friend, why exactly have you chosen to tie that nice fellow to a post?'

'you would attack an unarmed man?'

'that was a remarkably foolish gamble.'

'something you need to see, going to make your day a whole lot worse.'

'so how long have you been riding around with a corpse strapped to your horse?'

'help me get the ropes off, will you? my hands are still too numb; i was tied up for hours.'

'i just didn't have any faith any more.'

'he was, in fact, a son of a bitch.'

'he's a little slow sometimes, but he usually gets there in the end.'

'would someone /please/ tell me what we're talking about so i can decide if i care?'

'she wants to speak with you and that is the only gift left that either of us can give her now.'

'we pray in the shadows that we may summon the light.'

'well, i'd sort of had my heart set on an extended discussion of just how terrible you look, but if you insist, we can move straight on to how bad you smell.'

'now i remember why i liked you.'

'see, when you put it that way i don't sound very clever.'

'his desires cannot abide mercy. he will destroy it unless you stop him.'

'i suspect he despises a great many things.'

'the only thing the gods ever call any of us is fools.

'are you too busy sleeping with men for money to bring me some tea?'

'there are still things worth saving.'

'i would have spared you this if i could.'

'do not touch me with those hands, those hands of violence — hands meant only for holding swords and shedding blood.'

'you know i could kiss you right now, don't you?'

'oh well. i've been cursed plenty of times in my life and nothing too bad's happened yet, right?'

'"arsehole" is a terrible name for any beast.'

'your nervous griping is taking all the fun out of this trip.'

'maybe if we found you a proper weapon you wouldn't feel quite so scared all the time.'

'of course you'd rather sleep out in the cold.'

'i hear the call of music, a soft bed, women and, most importantly, beer.'

'you can /hear/ the beer?'

'and here i thought you were on a mission to get drunk and bed the local schoolteacher.'

'i can do more than one thing at a time. i'm ambidextrous.'

'how about, instead of pining here in your little room, you go down there and be a fucking man for a change?'

'go ahead and tell me what's wrong with me.'

'of course some of it's real. i mean, it's a giant pain in the arse, so it has to be real.'

'walk in like a man, mind you, not some shade of the long dead.'

'if you're both so fucking cursed then i'm sure lightning will strike you down.'

'dancing. well there's a tactic that never occurred to me.'

[rmd-writes]

a harder ask:

you're on a cursed work retreat at a very vague place of work which i have not decided. as part of the retreat, you have to do team-building exercises. one of these exercises is an outdoor scavenger hunt. you're picked last (sorry) so you get to join whichever pair you want to. whoever wins gets a really good prize. pick the pair you'd be most likely to want to join, and the pair you'd least likely want to join:

TK and Carlos who are just married and literally cannot be detached from each other.

Alex Claremont-Diaz and Hunter Huntington III.

Henry Fox and Queen Mary.

Owen Strand and Pez Okonjo.

Roland Schitt and Sebastien Raine.

Paul Strickland and Moira Rose.

Marjan Marwani and the hopeless boyfriend from LS that got stuck in the flying porta-loo.

Mateo Chavez and David Rose.

Johnny Rose and Stevie Budd.

Jonah (as a baby) and Alexis Rose.

Then rank them in order of placings.

This was so much fun and took me way longer than it should have 😅

Would join: Marjan and the boyfriend (Caleb), because Marjan would kick ass and I think the boyfriend would be scared enough of her that her just do what he’s told.

Would absolutely fucking never join: Roland Schitt and Sebastien Raine - I do not have the patience to deal with Roland, and Sebastien is a shit human being

Rankings

1. Marjan and Caleb - as I said, Caleb would likely be scared enough of Marjan to just do what he’s told and would be less of an impediment than, say, Moira. Marjan is good enough to do everything on her own anyway

2. Alex Claremont-Diaz and Hunter Huntington III - ACD’s competitive streak is too strong, plus he’s scrappy and fast. Hunter, while a pretentious wanker, won’t want to be shown up so he will keep up with Alex, while simultaneously driving him mad. They’re slowed down slightly by Alex’s need to rant at and about Hunter periodically. If there are water ways involved, they’ll place lower in the rankings because Alex will push Hunter in.

3. Paul Strickland and Moira Rose - Moira is absolutely a hindrance to Paul, but she is charmed by him and he’s able to get her to cooperate. And if all else fails, he can just throw her over his shoulder. This slows him down just enough (because he tries to get Moira to cooperate for too long before just literally carrying her) that Alex and Hunter finish before he does, but only just.

4. Mateo Chavez and David Rose - okay first, the idea of David having to cope with Mateo is hugely amusing to me. There would be much eye rolling at Mateo’s enthusiasm and many “I don’t know what that means” in response to any and all superhero references. But the thing is, Mateo’s enthusiasm will go a long way, plus he’s a competent fire fighter who is capable of taking charge. And David, for all his protests, is the man who once shot a turkey and also carried his boyfriend up a mountain. If Mateo can give him some direction, I think they’re dark horses

5. Johnny Rose and Stevie Budd - they’ll be slow starters due to Stevie’s general lack of enthusiasm and Johnny bumbling some clues, but much like Steve Bradbury, due to the failure of some teams to complete the game, they finish higher in the rankings than anyone expects - even after Alexis convinces them to join forces so that Johnny can help with Jonah

6. Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor & Queen Mary - poor Henry, as athletic and clever as he is, he’s hampered by the sense of duty and obligation to his family that no amount of time living as Alex’s partner can erase. In this scenario, Mary is nothing but dead weight who will inevitably slow Henry down.

7. Alexis Rose and baby Jonah - assuming that Alexis cannot simply foist Jonah off on an unsuspecting spectator, my fave girl is very resourceful but I do not think she could cope with an infant. Like, at all. Ew.

8. Roland Schitt and Sebastien Raine - does this need an explanation? Roland would misinterpret the clues and Sebastien wouldn’t even try. Roland finishes the game, but hours late.

9. Owen Strand & Pez Okonojo - they start strong but Owen gets distracted by a side quest (does he hear a crime being committed? See a hot blonde he absolutely has no business dating? Could be anything) and once he’s wandered off, Pez finds more leisurely pursuits. They DNF

10. TK & Carlos lose because they don’t complete the game. They get ✨distracted ✨

I feel like almost everyone else you’re sending these too is going to have a much simpler job because they’re not choosing between characters from three fandoms lol

[superscd]

closed starter for @superncntnd0s continued from here!

deep down, she understood it was wrong to ask him to follow her up. sebastien and sarah's relationship was so deeply embedded into the family dynamic at this point, and vivian didn't want to ruin it. not just for the two of them, but for her sister as well. it was wrong of her to feel this way towards him, to lust after him, but she couldn't help it. so when he agreed, she so clearly lit up with excitement, her smile growing wide as she began walking back toward the door, her eyes set on him still. "yeah? cool, awesome. let's go." her cheeks burned with red, and she guided both of them up the stairs and to the elevator to apartment floor. "anything i can make you specifically? i'm probably the worst when it comes to stocking good booze, but i've got... rum, tequila, i think malibu? some wine coolers... beer, too."

But it's comin' down, no sound, it's all around Like snow on the beach

SWEET HEARTS WEEK - SNOW IN PLOT DROP

Sweet Hearts Week was going off without a hitch. Hope filled the newly paved streets and love was in the air as well as the sudden flakes of snow that began to fall one by one. Before the Lunar Covians knew it, they found themselves in the midst of a snow storm. Authorities advised everyone to stay inside and buckle down for the night as the snow continued to grow worse and worse.

It's the last snow fall of year and the Lunar Covians now find themselves snowed in with people who they least expected.

REMINDERS

This is the last plot drop for our Valentine's Day event! We know its finally starting to get warm out, but we wanted to give you all one last snow related plot drop you can react to before we transition the RP over into Spring!

This is a pairings plot drop, but you can feel free to react to it with more than just your pairing below if so chose. We wanted to also pair characters up who may not have spoken to one another all too often in the hopes of building connections.

With this plot drop, the event is over. You can return to your regularly scheduled starters and threads, but we do ask that you write a thread with your pairing below. Your characters can find themselves trapped together in the blizzard or, if you're not in the mood for snow anymore, you are welcome to write a thread together about something completely unrelated. We just ask that you are branching out and plotting with charries you might not have had the chance to yet.

Last by not least, we hope you have fun!

Muse A can't get their heater to work and it's freezing in their apartment so they go and knock on Muse B's door for a blanket.

Muse A was getting ready to head home from x location when they realize that their coat was stolen by Muse B

Muse A thought that the people on the news were lying so they didn't prepare with a warm enough coat, now they're recruiting Muse B for help.

During the blackout Muse A dropped their keys and now Muse B must help the other find them in the mountains of snow.

Muse A walked outside to find out what all the chaos going on when they got locked out now muse B must help them get back in before too much snows falls and freezes them to death.

Muse A is handing out blankets to the towns people who are passing by and Muse B decides to help.

he must have mulled over this moment a million times. rehearsing the conversation inside of his head with careful precision, selecting the exact words best suited to translate the complexity of the situation into something intelligible. even if that quest would not prove to be simple. especially not when the words seemingly left him as soon as he came face to face with the other. fingertips tapped almost nervously against the doorframe, contemplating simply turning around and postponing the conversation until the future. sometime in the future, if he did not lose the courage he mustered.   “ can we talk? ”   there was no going back then, from the moment sebastien’s voice filled the silence announcing his presence to the other.   “ you’re probably busy, and i know you are, but if you can spare just a moment. ”

Hello! It's Winter! I was inspired by Anon 2 and Strawberry's stories about Laurence telling B&E she was pregnant. I hope you guys approve of what I did.

She hadn’t expected to find him home, reading a book at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. She stood in the doorway watching how effortlessly handsome he looked, his mind laser-focused on the words and not on his surroundings. Brigitte moved closer into the room, trying to see if she recognized the book based on its vibrant cover. The word “Pregnancy” immediately caught her eye. 

“Emmanuel, why are you reading a book about pregnancy? You’ll buy just about anything at a bookstore,” she teased, entering his study and giving him a quick peck on the cheek. 

He closed the book and looked up at his wife, beaming with excitement that she was finally home. “Hi chérie!! Ever since Laurence told us she was pregnant, I wanted to become more knowledgeable on a topic I’m not familiar with.” 

Brigitte loved her man for wanting to be involved in the birth of their first grandchild. Ever since her daughter revealed the big news, Emmanuel had asked every day how Laurence was feeling. He wanted to be included as much as possible. 

He patted a spot on the sofa, inviting her to join him. 

“What have you learned so far?” She asked with a giggle, noticing the handwritten notes spread out across the table. 

“I was reading about morning sickness when you walked in,” Emmanuel admitted. “I can’t believe some of the things women go through.” 

Brigitte let out a sigh, remembering how bad her experience with Sebastien was. Forget morning sickness, hers lasted all day, every day. For 9 months, her meals became plain, unsalted crackers and water. 

“I remember being terribly sick when I was pregnant with Sebastien. It was horrible. I think I was the only pregnant woman who lost weight,” Brigitte replied. 

“I wish I was around to help you back then,” Emmanuel responded with regret. The poor man hadn’t even been born yet. 

“Help would have been nice.” She quietly mumbled under her breath. Unfortunately, he had heard and questioned her. 

“Did your ex not help you?”

Brigitte playfully rolled her eyes. “Oh please, I had no idea what I was doing and neither did he. I would wake up vomiting at 2 in the morning and he wouldn't even get out of bed to check on me. I wasn’t expecting him to sit by the toilet, but asking how I was when I crawled back to bed would have been nice. Anyway, enough about me, I’m so pleased to see you’re learning about pregnancy. Feel free to ask me any questions, I’ve been through it 3 times.” Brigitte said proudly. 

Emmanuel wasn’t done thinking about her ex and how unsupportive he was. Things would have been very different if he and Brigitte were the ones expecting a baby together. 

“Manu?” She mistook his silence for something scarier, the fear that always nagged at the back of her mind came rushing to the forefront. “Are you sad that you won’t get to experience pregnancy with a partner? You could always have a baby with someone else - after I’m gone.” Brigitte affirmed. 

“What? Don’t ever talk like that, chérie! I would never do that! And no, I’m not sad because I get to experience all this baby stuff with our daughter right now. Brigitte, I wouldn’t trade what you and I have for anything in the world. I was just thinking how things would have been different if I was your husband back then.” Emmanuel admitted. “For starters, you wouldn’t have been getting sick in the middle of the night by yourself. I would have been beside you with a cold cloth holding your hair back.” 

“Thank you. You’ll be an excellent grandfather,” Brigitte said, lovingly stroking his cheek. “A sexy, young grandfather, if I do say so myself. I hope the other grandmothers don’t hit on you at the kiddie park!” 

He squeezed her thigh, “that won’t happen because I’m only interested in one grandmother. By the way, what do you think the baby will call us?” 

“Hmm…. I guess we’ll have to wait and see when the little one is old enough to speak.” Brigitte smiled, grateful the man she had now was absolutely perfect. “What is this?” She picked up the sheet of paper and read the first line out loud: “How to build a crib from scratch.” 

Brigitte shook her head, “We’ll leave some stuff for the baby’s parents.” 

Hellooo Winter! ���️

Emmanuel reading a book about pregnancy, what an adorable sweet potato 🥰

Their conversation about Brigitte’s pregnancy experience... a bit sad but sweet at the same time!

Emmanuel wanting to do everything hahaha slow down, honey!

Thank you so much, Winter! ❤️❤️❤️

starter for @kingdom-of-vanity​’s sebastien from sophia verse: main

Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.

The sound of wood slamming against the stone wall was most likely echoing throughout the nearby hallways and carrying down the corridor, but she was too caught up in their mutual desires to care. She was a future queen and one who had the consent of her fiancés and the man she was currently riding.

Riding like a stallion, to be precise, her hips snapping back and forth at an exhausting pace, her entire body slick with her sweat, and her thighs tightening and loosening each time she rocked forward and then backward. “Oh yes…mon dieu, you feel so good inside me, mon père…”

Thoughts on Sebastian Michaelis? (Demon Butler from black butler) He is so very very fine!

Confession:

My first time ever watching anime was in quarantine, I was watching black butler because I was in an amino fanserver (If you dont know what Amino is, think discord but crawling with predators in plain sight.) My second was MHA

What were your first animes??

XX

-🎃

I unfortunately haven't watched Black Butler 🙁 but I do think Sebastien is hot!

I've never heard of Amino but that sounds... Mildly terrifying. So you'd never watched anime before quarantine?

My first animes haha. It was way back in the 90's so Sailor Moon was my starter anime, then I caught onto Bleach thanks to Adult Swim.

Inbox is open for secrets /confessions /rants /opinions!

Wehrlein holds off Dennis for first Diriyah eprix win | Formula E

Pascal Wehrlein took his first win of the 2023 Formula E championship in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, passing Sam Bird and holding off Jake Dennis for the win. Wehrlein ran a patient race, overtaking long time leader Bird in the closing stages before absorbing pressure from Dennis over the final laps. Bird completed the podium in third for Jaguar. Having secured his 15th career Formula E pole position and his first since 2019, Sebastien Buemi led away from the start, with fellow front row starter Jake Hughes settling into second place as the field filtered through the opening corners. A squeeze into the tight left-hander saw Antonio Felix da Costa caught up and crash into Oliver Rowland’s Mahindra, losing his front wing. The Safety Car was immediately deployed to remove the debris, but was called in at the end of the first official lap, with Buemi leading the pack as the green flags flew. Sam Bird nipped passed Hughes to take second place on lap three, as the McLaren then came under pressure from the Nio of Dan Ticktum behind. But it was the leader, Buemi, who was feeling the most heat from a car behind. Bird ran close to the Envision driver until he pulled alongside him along the start straight and took the lead into turn 18. Bird was the first of the leaders to take Attack Mode, opting for three minutes for his first application on lap 13. He emerged still in the lead, but remained just over a second ahead of Buemi by the time his three minutes had expired. Hughes lost third to McLaren team mate Rene Rast when he took his first Attack Mode, Rast having already entered into his first full power period of his own. As they started lap 24, Bird took his second Attack Mode of one minute, while Buemi also took his first two minutes, losing second to Pascal Wehrlein. After Bird’s Attack Mode expired, Wehrlein was all over the back of the leader. He attempted a pass up the inside of turn 18, but ran too deep, allowing Bird to hold onto his lead. Wehrlein kept the pressure on the leader and eventually managed to pull alongside and out-brake Bird into turn 18 to take the lead of the race. The Porsche still had one minute of Attack Mode still to use, but Wehrlein managed to pull out enough of a gap over Bird to take his second Attack Mode and retain the lead. Bird then came under attack from championship leader Jake Dennis, who caught up to the back of Bird before passing the Jaguar on lap 34 to take second place. Dennis hunted down Wehrlein ahead, getting within a second of the leader, but could not get close enough to the Porsche to make a move. Wehrlein held on over the final lap to cross the line and secure his and Porsche’s first win of the season, less than a second ahead of Dennis. Bird came over the line to complete the podium in third, while pole winner Buemi finished fourth. Rene Rast took fifth for McLaren, with Nick Cassidy finishing seventh. Jean-Eric Vergne claimed seventh for DS Penske, with Hughes falling to eighth by the chequered flag. Andre Lotterer and Mitch Evans completed the top ten. Dennis leads the championship by just one point, courtesy of his fastest lap in Mexico. The third race of the season will take place tomorrow for a second race in Diriyah.

// open starter (@lunarcovestarters) Location: Rec Centre

Sébastien was definitely beginning to regret his decision. He'd figured it was due time to start getting his life back on track and what better way that to kill three birds with one stone: get out of the house, meet new people and maybe even get a new hobby. Instead he was sat in a chair just outside the Rec Centre, unable to make himself actually step inside. "Oh, ouais, vise cette lieu - serra trés amusant(!)" 'Oh, yeah, let's check that place out - it'll be so fun(!)'

Violet eyes rose to meet her own as she entered the room, Rhysand rose a finger to his lips before he looked down at his sister. Marsaili was curled up asleep, her head was resting upon his lap as her fingers were gripping the edge of his shirt.

"I'm sorry my Rose," he whispered as he held his hand out for Silarial, wanting him to come to sit beside him. "She fell asleep, she hasn't been sleeping well and I didn't want to disturb her."

She frowned moving to sit next to him. She held his chin kissing him softly before she leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Why are you apologizing to me? Tamlin does this a lot too, and Mabry did it when we were all small."

She flushed and kissed his shoulder.

"It just shows you'd be an amazing father."

She resisted the urge to touch her stomach. She wanted to tell him, to celebrate now that it was confirmed. But she didn't want to disturb them.

"Is there anything I can do?"

@summonshadcw

Sebastien rubbed his face.

"I can't believe you made a deal with Changelings Alexie."

Natalia huffed and went back to focusing on the fire.

"I am not surprised he takes too much after you."

Sebastien shot her a look, his voice carried in their bond.

But you like that he is like me, Tasha.

Pride slid through him as he saw Natalia's lips twitch before she turned fully to the fire.

Not in this Basha.

Sebastien sighed and looked to Aleksander. She was right, Aleksander made him proud in so many ways. He had hoped he wouldn't be as reckless as he'd been in his youth.

"I'm not sure if I should be proud or terrified for you. This war is -"

He sat down, pushing some coffee toward him. Ursula watched her father and brother. She frowned at her mother, trying to stand still.

"We are at war Mama why does it matter what I wear?"

"Because I will not have my daughter be dressed in rags. Now stand still so you do not bleed, girl."

Ursula's jaw set, and Sebastien turned to watch them. He tapped his finger on the table discreetly, getting his youngest attention. He held up a small bowl of chocolate. It was meager compared to the wealth and money they'd had in Nirtea. Sometimes, he was happy Ursula didn't remember when he saw how happy this simple thing made her. He put a finger to his lips, and Ursusla nodded eagerly. She finally stood obediently for her mother.

Natalia knew, of course she did. He'd found some for her, but that was neither here nor there. He looked back at Aleksander it still surprised him to see just Aleksander and not Azriel by his side. They'd been so close once before.

"The Changelings will play with you. I was betrothed to an Eyrie long ago. She was worthless to her kind, her wings to be clipped as she could not help them. She wasn't strong enough to bear a child, the thing she was meant to do."

Sebastien rolled his eyes at that and drummed his long fingers on the table.

"Her mate was away, and even when I contacted him to hurry home, we weren't in time. She died too weak to handle the procedure. Melkor was...he - he was a ruthless fighter, but this pushed him over the edge. He shunned everyone who knew him and left the island. Years later, once your mother and I had met and mated, we crossed paths again. He'd tracked down a Changeling Colony. A fledgling one by the sounds of it. He told us they could reunite him with his Marion."

Sebastien lips twisted, and he looked to his hands.

"I am not sure how or why it happens, but some mates who die do not pass on. They cling to their mates and appear as apparition only their mate can see and interact with. I - I confess it's far-fetched, but I have heard it happen many times. Or maybe the fae are truly insane, I do not know - they do not live long. Melkor lived far longer than any others I'd meet since him. Do you know how they fulfilled their request to him, Aleksander?"

He could still see the torn limbs, the viscera, the sheer violence, and carriage of it. Smaug had laughed and playfully lunged for him. If Natalia hadn't been there, he would have died out of sheer shock.

It had been the first real death he'd seen when the Revolutions began against the Daglan. He'd see Smaug many times over the next 100 years or war. He supposed he should thank him in a twisted way for switching sides in the end - without his support, they would have never won. At least they'd gone nearly 700 years without the Changelings appearing to cause trouble, till now.

"If you truly want to do this, we will support you. But I am not letting you do this alone, Aleksander."

Love Is Madness

@luxmaeastra

"You claim to love this court Unah and yet you run the moment things don't go your way?"

Unah spun to look at him her eyes flaring silver, her body flaring in her veins. Rhysand held his ground as she stalked back to him.

"Don't you dare. Don't you fucking dare. I have given everything for this court. I will not be caught in a civil war. I warned you of the cracks, of the way your inhabitants in Velaris felt and you didn't listen."

"So you run? Is that it? Off to seduce —"

Rhysand stumbled backward as she slapped him. She stepped closer the wind picking up around them.

"Fuck you. I never fault you for sleeping with someone as young as her. I never yelled at you for calling what should have been, for giving her the jewels and crowns that should have been mine."

He scoffed and lowered his hand.

"Being High Lady is more than the looks and luxury Unah. Feyre is am adult regardless of what you insinuate. She knew the relationship she was getting into —"

"You sound like Drakon."

"Perhaps Drakon had a fucking point then. And he's dead. That dream of yours should have died with him.'

She squeezed her hands, her nails digging into her palm.

"Don't you think it wouldn't have if you didn't keep promising it to me? If you didn't keep pursing me?"

"Oh like you didn't like it? Like you didn't toy right back with me? Or do you think I don't know about Henri?"

Unah's face smoothed over and she stepped away as the others of his court arrived. She sent him a cold look moving to stand with Feyre and Morrigan.

They would be here soon.

----------

Franco glanced at Oren as they stood in the shadows. Mars seemed to want to keep the reveal as secret as possible.

"You don't look nervous."

Oren looked from the horizon to him and rose an eyebrow. It still jarred him how much he'd grown up.

"But you think I am?"

"You're doing that nail picking thing Cahir does when he's tense and nervous."

He frowned and looked at his finger. He sighed mentally healing the wound and clasping his hands behind his back. He blinked and looked back at Franco.

"Wait how do you know Cahir? You were 10 when I died."

"I've met him and Cirah in Vallhan. I like them, a little stiff but fun once you get alcohol in them."

His lips twitched.

"That seems like them. They're married now right? How are they? Happy?"

"Well I saw them on their honeymoon tour and they were all soft with each other. I didn't like it, very annoying and uncomfortable."

Oren could feel a genuine smile at that.

       DESPERATION CAN drive people to do things they normally didn’t do. and she was so desperate for money that she ended up turning to a sugar daddy website thing. she’s never done anything like this before, but she needed the money for tuition and to pay for rent. working two jobs wasn’t even enough anymore and she figured she might as well try, though she didn’t think anything would come out of it. much to her surprise, someone named sebastien got back to her almost immediately. the conditions didn’t seem too bad and she thought that she could do it, which was why she agreed and they were going to meet up for the first time together. aileen had arrived early for their meeting, feeling a little bit nervous as she sat down at a table, waiting for him. she was scrolling through her instagram when she heard footsteps approaching. lifting her head, she recognized the person as sebastien from his profile picture and she smiled. “hi,” she waved, standing up to greet him. “i’m aileen and it’s nice to meet you.”

an open starter based on THIS open to: m / f / nb !!! (i’m thinking this is likely not the first function they’ve attended together. think of this almost as an “escort on retainer” type of arrangement!)

    the only thing that he hated more than having to show up to his client’s get togethers and little parties they threw to build camaraderie, was going alone. and so as of late, he’d decided that was no longer a viable option if he was to hold his tongue and stay in his partner’s good graces. so he’d acquired a friend. or rather a paid date. an escort, if you will. though he wasn’t entirely sure they’d had a title preference or if he could’ve gotten away with calling them practically anything with the sum of money he was doling out to them following these little outings.

    tonight was no different, though he had shown up a bit early. so he had propped himself up, sitting back on the hood of his vehicle with a spliff perched between his lips as he waited for the other to join him. the streets were silent, the spark from his lighter the only thing in earshot as he lit up and blew the first cloud of smoke up into the air. it wasn’t a black tie event, but it wasn’t entirely casual either. sebastien sported a thick knit designer sweater, black slacks, and black loafers. nothing too flashy though in total the three pieces likely totaled more than what he was paying the other. “there you are,” he chimed as they finally came into view outside of their residence. “ready?

Based on this

Hundreds of trains speeding in and out of Grand Central station, with millions of people shuffling from one point to another. In the sea of faces, he sees her. Not a coincidence, given it was 8:45PM on the first Sunday of the month. Every month without fail, she took the same train back from a weekend trip to visit her family upstate. The only anomaly in this equation was Sebastien, leaning behind a nearby pillar as he watches the passengers walk off the train. It wasn’t that he never came here. Quite the opposite, he’d pick her up from her long haul trip and take her out for classic New York style pizza. They’d talk about her trip, he’d complain about the weather (no matter the weather), and on and on they went. For three years, it was their routine, and shy of a month ago, it ended. But habits, Sebastien knew, were hard to break. Somewhere between his fifteen hour work days and casual drunkenness from the past month, he ended up here. He whispers “shit” as her eyes catch his, looking for a quick exit. But as she approaches, he knows he’s been caught by his ex-girlfriend. Before she can speak, he raises his hands apologetically. “I just wanted to see you one last time.”
