The lapis lazuli is finely reworked, a show of loyalty, and a heart Eunjae pretends to no longer possess, dangling from their ear and occasionally brushing against their neck if they move just the right way. Like now.
Eunjae makes the beeline the moment they see Annie, with the same disinterested nonchalance they'd brushed past every other victor in the room. None of their concern. They've seen too many who could have stood here instead, die. Sent some out there themselves. Annie, isolated and exploited, stands out like the indestructible buoy people describe her as. Eunjae grabs the glass a Capitolite is trying to push into her hand and pours bad champagne down their throat.
"Darn," a contorted face, the hint of a teasing smile. "Worst thing I've ever had." The empty glass is shoved back into the Capitolite's hand, Eunjae hardly turns to look. The fingers to curl around Annie's are gentle, a direct contrast to the aggression of clearing a space for Annie to be in. "This place has a fountain we can cool down next to. Come."
((personalized asks, hmmm >:3))
@ptternminds / unprompted.
THE SKIRT IS SMOOTH AGAINST HER PALMS. Blue and green silk beneath her fingers, it brushes against her ankles. The last one spilled onto the floor around her, trapping her feet in the center; they said that wouldnât happen again. Not because it was inconvenient for her to move around, but because such luxurious fabric didnât deserve to be trampled on by the masses. Still, Annie loathes to admit it, but if there is one thing she can appreciate about the Capitol, itâs the fact her stylists never put her in restrictive clothing.
( She also knows they struggled to figure out how toâŠmarket her: how do you style a mad girl, they kept asking themselves. We canât go with an asylum look; that would offend the younger generations, damn snowflakes, they said. It would have been easier if they called her the Drowning Girl, another one joked. They ended up going with something similar- something about a drowned mermaid? )Â
Of course, if Annie had it her way, she wouldnât be here, let alone the Capitol. Itâs funny, the way people assume that following her games, she would be scared of the water. That she would never take another step into the ocean. Why would she be scared? To float is as natural as breathing air to Annie and if there was a way she had to go, it would have been a kindness to be surrounded by the water. The water has no morality; it only flows, flows, and flows.
Actually, it might be a kindness now to drown than being here. With this Capitolite man who keeps going on and on, something about District Four and how heâs braved his way there many times before, but sheâs trying to focus more on both the glass he keeps trying to push into her hands and the other hand the keeps brushing over her shoulder. Itâs getting harder and harder for her to decide which hand she wants farther away from her. Itâs easier to wish she could be anywhere but here, somewhere far away like home or even further than that-
Bells jingle. Something blue in the midst of black cuts in front of her.Â
She blinks.
Itâs them.
The one person she always looks for in the Capitol.
They are quick to dispose of her conversation partner and even faster to take hold of her hand. The breath Annie didnât realize she was holding comes out. She nods, following Eunjaeâs lead.
âââ
Eunjae is not home. Eunjae is not the water; they probably have never even seen the ocean for themselves and in this lifetime, they probably never will. It saddens Annie to know thatâ to know that Eunjae will never see the expanse of sea-green water beneath a sky that stretches beyond the horizon, will never taste the salt in their mouth, will never feel the sand between their toes.Â
And yet. And yet, when Annie is home, Eunjae is whom she thinks of most, whom she wants to talk to most. From wondering if they would like the taste of fresh fish to collecting seashells from the shore to show them to polishing more rocks to give them. Sometimes it accumulates to Annie even looking forward to going back to the Capitol.
( Does that make her a traitor to her district? She doesnât dare to admit that to anyone. Not that anyone would listen to her and not write it off as madness. )
Outside the ballroom is dark and cool, an array of greenery lying in wait beyond the lightshow of the mansion. As it turns out, the mansion also includes a magnificent garden that is usually used to hold the hostâs biweekly tea parties. Usually the garden would be open for the nighttime guests, as the host used fireflies to light the area instead of those âboring lamplightsâ, but one of the trees had been uprooted last week, ruining the hostâs flowerbeds. Their avoxes were still working to get both of those things fixed, apparently.
It still doesnât explain how Eunjae knew this place would be unoccupied today of all days. but it makes no difference to Annie. Even if the night air sends goosebumps over her arms ( her stylists said she didnât need a cardigan for tonight), she brightens at the sound of running water first and letting go of Eunjaeâs hand, drifts over to the fountain. Hands dip into the fountainâs basin before she kicks her sandals off into the grass. Carefully ( or maybe not so ), she lifts her skirt and steps into the fountain. Annie closes her eyes and sighs.
Itâs not the ocean, but it is something. Something like home. Even the light of the moon shining down is familiar.
Footsteps follow her and giddy and a little embarrassed too, she realizes Eunjae has been watching her. Eunjae who walks towards her, not a thread from their black coat nor a smidge of their facepaint out of place. And their earring, lapis lazuli dangles close by like a bell. Annie looks at them, pensively.
How odd, that people insist on calling them the âJeoseungsaja of Panemâ. Death itself personified- an unfeeling entity that brings the end of life without question, without warning. Thatâs the kind of person Panem says Eunjae is. A person without any emotions, any feelings.
The thing is, theyâre wrong. Because on this chilly summer night where there are only the fireflies to bear witness, Eunjae is not Death.
Here, Eunjae is the MOON.Â
They stop at the edge of the fountain, watching Annie with their hands in their pockets. Annie turns to them, water soaking the bottom of her skirt. âThank you,â she says finally. âFor taking me here.â
She takes a hold of Eunjaeâs hands and squeezes them. âJoin me?â
( One day, she'll find a place where both the water and Eunjae will be. Together. )

A Hole in the Heart
Between this and the drunken confession from Leona fic đ I must be in my Savanaclaw era⊠Maybe Iâll write a food-related Jack fic too, who knows www
Imagine this...
Thereâs a cute guy working behind the counter.
You can only afford to dawdle for so long. Your eyes are supposed to be focused on reading the menu mounted overhead or browsing the glossy breads and cakes on offer. Instead, your gaze drifts up to the employeeâa hyena beastmanâsheepishly awaiting your order.
He leans on the glass display case, face nestled in his arms, cheek to forearm. His dirty blonde hair sticks up like someone has aggressively ruffled his head. The boy blinks at you with big, blue-grey eyes, mouth permanently etched into a sloped smile that suggests he is capable of stirring up trouble off his shift.
An apron hangs loosely from his lanky frame, and a cap is clamped down between two large, twitching ears. His tail, short and stout, wags like a metronome, in time with the rhythm he taps out with a finger.
Yeah, heâs definitely super cute, you conclude.
â⊠Hey.â
You jolt at the hand passion waving in front of your face, at his voice. Itâs casual and warm, like the sound of an old friendâs greeting after a long day.
The bakery employee lifts his head and quirks a brow. âYou decided what you want yet? Youâve been starinâ for a while now.â
W-Was I really staring?!
A hand flies to your face, testing it for signs of self-consciousness. Your skin is flushed and tingles, like flames have been lit under it.
âS-Sorry, I mustâve dozed off,â you mumble, burrowing into your collar and praying that he doesnât notice. Focus here, you remind yourself. âYou have so many options, Iâm having a hard time deciding. What do you recommend?â
âMe?â He fully draws himself up, trading his smile for a smirk. âI know just the thing. Hang on a sec!â
The employee peels away and snags a donut from the display case, wrapping it in a checkered napkin. The pastry is plump and full, fried to a golden perfection and covered in a shiny sugar glaze.Â
âOh⊠It doesnât have a hole in the center,â you realize.
âThe holes are usually there to help the dough cook evenly. We repurpose whatâs punched out as donut holes,â he says, eyes glittering with gluttony, âbut nothing beats having the whole thing, hole and all.â
âPfft. When you put it like that, it feels sort of sad.â
âHow do you figure?â
âA donut with a hole sounds like a person thatâs missing their heart. Some important part of themselves just⊠poof. Gone.â
âA person missing their heart, huh? You got an imagination on ya.â
D-Did he just compliment me?
Your heart leaps up and lodges in your throat. Itâs suddenly difficult to usher your words out.
He shakes his head and turns away, setting to his work. The boy becomes but a blur of activity, and you watch him, mesmerized.
He generously ladles chocolate sauce onto the donut, garnished by a handful of sliced nuts. Then he glops on a healthy helping of custard cream, a spritz of whipped cream, and a big spoonful of berry jam. The result is one decadently sticky pile of sugar with everything under the kitchen sink thrown onto it.
He presents the towering donut to you with a flourish. âTa-dah! I give you⊠the Ruggie Special!âÂ
You gape at it, unsure of what to do or say. Thereâs no way I can finish this before class starts, you fretâbut you accept the donut in a daze, not wanting to reject all his efforts. Your fingers and his graze, sparking a thrill within you.
âWhatâs âRuggieâ?â you ask shyly.
âThatâs me.â He winks and points to himself. No, to the name tag pinned to his chest. âRuggie. Ruggie Bucchi.â
H-He told me his name. You clutch your hands together in an attempt to calm them. Is he flirting with me?
âW-Wow, you have a menu item named after you? Thatâs cool,â you babble. Oh noâyouâre so horrid at small talk, you scold yourself.
âUnofficially, yeah. The boss doesnât mind if I use the extra ingredients lying around to experiment. Oh, speaking ofââ He holds out a hand. âAll that extra stuffâs gonna cost ya. Thatâll be 700 madol, if you please!â
â700âŠ?!â You startle, as if waking from a dream. The donutâs mountain of topples wobble, threatening to tumble. âThatâs over 5 times the cost of a single plain donut!â
âWell, this is a single plain donut with all the fixings,â he corrects you with a snicker. Ruggie points to your Special. The chocolate sauce is rapidly dribbling down, cream leaking into the napkin. âLook, itâs already getting all over you. Better cough up the cash and get to eating it real quick~âÂ
âNrghâŠâ You reluctantly fish out 700 madol and slap the bills onto the counter. âHere. Just take it already.â
âNishishishi, thank you for your patronage!â Ruggie happily scoops up the money and deposits it into the register. The bills are swallowed up by the metal contraption, as if it is feasting on your misfortune.
Why do I feel like I just got duped by a pretty face?
Your stomach lurches, disappointed with yourself. Friends and classmates always teased you for this. Head in the clouds, too sentimental, unlucky with guys, so quick to fall in love and even quicker to have your heart brokenâall phrases they used to describe you.
Someone absolutely hopeless in their flights of fancy. A donut wandering around with a hole where their heart should be, seeking what they lack.
You flush deeper. Maybe Iâm proving them right. Iâm seeing things that arenât there.
âW-Well, thank you for your recommendation,â you say hurriedly.
âNo prob,â he replies with the tip of his hat. âAll in a dayâs work.â
A dayâs work, duh. Stupid, stupid. He was only buttering you up to swindle you into a sale.
The donut is oozing into your palm now. You frown and attempt to mop what is spilling with your tongue. Ruggie laughs a littleâand youâre not sure if heâs laughing with you or laughing at you. Truthfully, you donât know which youâd prefer.
âNeed more napkins?â he offers, a wad of them at the ready. âTheseâre free.â
âTh-Thank you,â you mutter, grabbing them with your free (clean) hand. âI have to get going, or Iâll be late.â
âUh-huh. Donât they all?â
You gather yourself, hurrying to the door and flinging yourself through. It swings as you exit, the bell above jingling and ringing out your departure. The warm, comforting smell of sugar dissipates into the outdoor air.
âSee ya around,â he calls after you, a teasing lilt in his voice. You donât see what kind of an expression heâs making, but you donât dare allow yourself to look back and find out.
You try to busy yourself with scrubbing clean. A bathroomâyou should have stopped by the bakeryâs bathroom to wet the napkins, to wash your hands with soap. But you have your pride, and you refuse to march back in, to have him mocking you a second time.
You wipe at your thumb, but the napkin catches and sticks at the corner. Thereâs a blot there, dark-colored and bleeding.
⊠Huh? Whatâs that?
You lift the napkin and squint at the smudged shapes scrawled onto it. Letters and numbers come into view.
Ruggie Bucchi, followed by a series of numbers strung together. A phone number.
Everything in you stills.
When did he�
You rifle through the rest of your napkins, looking for other hidden messages. Nothing else, just the one.Â
But if he passed me his phone number, that means⊠Heâs interested in me too?!
Excitement kicks up in you again. Hope, dancing a little jig.
You melt, pressing the napkin to yourself. Your heart practically beats right out of your chest, as if it wants to see the proof with its own eyes.
Ruggie. Ruggie Bucchi⊠The quick-witted guy in the donut shop, the boy with an impish grin and fast fingers.
The hole in your chest fills, having found its missing part. Whole at last, tasting sweeter than any confection.
Youâll have to text him first chance you get.

She isnât level 7 yet so she had to make a few dishes, which took ages because she had to get all fancy about it lol She ended up getting the knife stuck in the board which is 100% something I would do.
She did make a fancy pet dish for Oscar, though c:
He seemed quite pleased, exceptâŠ
âEasy on the garlic next time, human!â
Ta-dah! Level 7. Iâm just now realizing I should have put the quest text on this image instead of the other lol
YES A NEW TATTOO!!
The quality is trash but I still love it. Iâve been dying for new tattoos for ages and this one is a Grim Reaper? Hell yeah.
So, her gourmet cooking is level 1, I think, which means it would take too many dishes to get the skill up. Time to get reading!
I think Oscar likes our new collection c:
Girl, what the fuck is wrong with you??
WHO PUTS OUT A FIRE BY SLAPPING IT WITH A SPATULA?? She is truly my child T_T)
Bright side, we finished one of our event sets.
And earned a⊠portrait? Wait a minute... isn't Mimsy that ghost that hangs out in the Windenburg gardens?? :o I knew she was important!
WHY IS THIS THING SO DAMN BIG??
Section 2 is complete⊠I completely forgot about the quest image for getting the death flower T_T) I am so off my game lately.
Well, we worked hard, gardened âtil our hands were green, and we have done it â we grew a death flower â
God damn it, no one listen to her, I most certainly did not go to the magic realm and purchase one! This ghost is lying to you all D:

Take A Break
John H. Watson
A/N: Thank you so much for this đ This was really sweet of you đ„șđđđ I had fun writing this :) Sorry, this became like a rant for me during quarantine ^^" Also-
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! đđđ I hope you're all resting and enjoying your well-deserved vacations and taking care of yourselves ^^
Tag/s: Platonic, Self-Indulgent
"And⊠Iâm doneâŠ!â you breathed out in glee, your project working as it should with little to no kinks.
You sighed in relief, slumping back to your seat as you loosen your body, muscles aching from the continuous hours in front of your desk.
âNow for sleep⊠on the bedâŠâ you slurred, moving your chair with your feet as you inched closer to your bedroom.
As your chair bumped onto your bed frame, you flopped your body onto the sheets, sighing in content as you felt fatigue take over your body as you fell asleep.
â(Y/N)âŠ?â
ââŠ(Y/N)!â
âAgh!â you jolted up, looking around frantically as you saw John looking at you with a confused expression.
âJohnâŠ? What are you doing here so early?â you asked as you rubbed your eyes, feeling it sting from the light.
ââŠItâs already the afternoon⊠Donât tell me you-â his voice started to rise, signaling a lecture would be in full swing.
âA-Ah! Before you scold me,â you stood up on your bed, hands in front of you as John crossed his arms.
âI was working on my project⊠And it took a little later than I thought,â you clarified, hopping off your bed.
âBut I thought your partner was in charge of it?â
âSo did I, but what happened was that they asked someone else to help them and remake it from that personâs work instead of continuing what I already madeâŠâ
You gestured with your hands, hoping it would help explain.
ââŠAnd I found out they lied to me and just took it off of something they found from the public library, SO!â you clapped your hands, âI notified my professor that I would be going solo, and I continued the project I already did,â
You finished with a nervous smile had a confused expression.
âD-Did you at least finish itâŠ?â
âYeah! I finished it last night- Well, up to around 3 AM, but itâs done!â you reassured, making John sigh in relief.
âThatâs good, I guess⊠But I donât think you should keep staying up late. Itâs bad for your health,â he scolded like a father.
âI know, I know⊠Itâs not like I wanted to,â you shrugged, stretching your arms.
âAnyway, what brings you to my house?â you asked, cleaning up some messes as you walked to the living room.
âOh, right,â he grabbed his bag and took out a large pile of papers, âMy draft for the manuscript is done, and I wanted your opinion on it,â
Your eyes lit up as you ran up to him, eyes locked onto the papers.
âHold on!â he raised his arm, making it impossible for you to reach it.
âHave you eaten anything yet?â he asked, making you pout and cross your arms.
âYou literally just woke me up,â you reminded, making him frown.
âGo freshen up. Weâre eating out,â John sternly said, putting the manuscript back in his bag.
âWhy!? Canât we just eat here?â
âWhen was the last time you were outside?â
You opened your mouth to answer, but your mind was drawing on a blank.
ââŠA few days agoâŠâ you mumbled, your eyes avoiding him.
âHm, go on now,â he ushered, pushing you back to your room.
âUghâŠâ you groaned in annoyance as you prepared your clothes, knowing there was no way in talking out of the army doctor.
âWhere are we going, anyway?â you asked, looking around the street as you followed John with a skip on your step, trying to keep up with his pace.
âJust a small restaurant,â he answered, looking back at you, noticing you getting nudged around.
He quickly ran up to you and grabbed your hand, pulling you out of the forming crowd.
âThanksâŠâ you breathed out, making John chuckle.
âSorry about thatâŠâ he wrapped his arm around yours, âUsually, Iâm the one trying to keep up with Sherlock,â
âSpeaking of, where is he?â
âHeâs at Mycroftâs office, something about a case for the royal family?â
âOhâŠâ you dragged out, looking around the street as you kept close to him.
âAnd⊠weâre here!â he smiled, stopping in front of a humble and homey restaurant.
âHuh⊠Iâve never seen this before,â
âThey just opened up,â you two walked inside and saw that it had a lot of people, but it wasnât crowded.
You felt your stomach rumble as a delicious smell covered the air, making you gulp.
âOkay, Iâll admit⊠Thanks for dragging me out hereâŠâ you mumbled, making John smile proudly.
You sighed in content as you patted your stomach, feeling satisfied and full.
âThanks for the meal,â you smiled over to John as you grabbed his arm.
âDonât mention it,â he smiled back as you two walked out.
You furrowed your brows as you looked around, noticing that it wasnât your way back home.
âUh⊠John?â
âI just thought we would take a little stroll since youâve been barely out of your house,â
âWhat about your draft?â
âYou can read it later,â he reassured as you two walked along by a park.
âWhat about your deadline? Donât you need to go back and work on it?â
âIâll be fine,â
You furrowed your brows at him as something clicked in your head.
âSherlock kicked you out of the flat, didnât he?â
âHe was playing the violin and smoking. It looked like the room was on fireâŠâ he sighed, making you laugh.
âMy condolences to you and Miss Hudson,â you chuckled, swinging your arms around as you walked along the park.
âI guess the two of us needed a break, huh?â you commented, making John smile.
âI guess so⊠Is there anywhere you want to go?â
You hummed as you tried to think of something to do, looking around.
You stopped dead in your tracks as SHERLOCK HOLMES  was written in giant letters in front of a theater.
âLetâs go there,â you smiled widely, pulling John lightly to the entrance.
âOh, right! The play for A Study in Scarlet was showing today, â he remembered, following along with you.
âLetâs watch it! And after, if Sherlock is still busy, letâs just go back home to my place, and Iâll read the draft,â you smiled, excitedly lining up for a ticket.
âOkay⊠You donât have to read it so soon, you know? You need to take a break,â
âI slept, ate at an amazing restaurant, walked around a beautiful park, went to watch a play, and then read with a good friend. It seems like a perfect day to me,â you reassured, swinging back and forth on your feet.
John breathed out a chuckle as he patted the top of your head.
âIf you say so,â

BIG SPOILERS BELOW THE âREAD MOREâ CUT, FROM SYNOPSIS OF THE FILM
Just sat through a half-hour synopsis of the film.
I HAVE 16 HUGE SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT- ALL CONFIRMED
I HAVE PUT LOTS OF WARNINGS IN MY TAGS TOO - if you can think of any that Iâve missed out plse message me and Iâll add them.
doing the following list so you know if you want to read it again ;DÂ
*edited with update 24/4/19 22.20 London time; 2 spoliers added //Â again at 22.36; another added, plus more details on some // 22.49 another added // 23.26 link to âspoilersâ video added
Time Travel involved?
A- Of course!
How long after IW does it start?
A-Â it starts 22 days later. They try and fail to reverse it all. THEN it jumps to FIVE YEARS LATER
Where is Thanos?
Heâs off on a farm somewhere (other planet? Not sure.) Heâs in a bad state. Using the gauntlet has drained him.
What big characters die?
A- Black Widow (dies to save Hawkeye), Iron Man (and they have his funeral), and Thanos. As far as I can make out,Thor kills him during the first 22 days. He cuts his head off. The others ask him why and he says, âI went for the head.â
Is it true that Cap goes back and dances with Peggy?
A- yes and he stays in the past.
Does Jane appear?
A- yes. Thor goes back to Asgard with Rocket. Rocket removes the ether from Jane via a needle. Thor decides he canât bear to meet her, so goes to visit Frigga instead.
Do they actually manage to reverse the snap?
A- Yes. Everyone that was killed by the snap comes back. They do it by going back in time and âborrowingâ the stones and Tony has his own gauntlet and snaps it and ta-dah!
HAWKEYE?
A- yes. In fact the movie opens with him and his daughter on his farm(?) just before the snap, when all his family die. In other words the snap didnât get him.
Valkyrie??
A- Yes. Sheâs alive
Pepper Potts?
A- Yes. She has a 5 yr old daughter with Tony, who is just as brainy as he is.
The Asgardians?
A- Half are alive and as far as I could make out from the synopsis video, they are in something like a fishing village????????? No idea!!!
Hulk?
A- This is a really weird bit- the hulk and Banner have combined and now there is Professor Hulk. Yeah.
Bucky?
A- Yes heâs there, heâs fine. He has the opportunity to go back and stay in the past but decided not to.
LOKI???
A-Â You see him in the past. Itâs never confirmed if heâs dead, if he gets back to change things, nothing. He is in it VERY briefly and gets 2 lines.
Tony returns to Avengers Tower in 2012. They need to get the Tesseract. Loki is caught and bound- handcuffs, muzzle etc. The tesseract is in a suitcase which gets dropped and opens- the tesseract rolls to Lokiâs feet. He uses it to escape right there. One review says he escapes âin a puff of smokeâ but I donât know if thatâs how they did it or if the reviewer was using those words in sarcasm ;)Â He is not seen again. I can only assume they left it open so that the series can go ahead.
Is the opening scene from IW revisited?
A- No. And I think that sucks, because that scene never made sense to me. It had tons of holes, was very disjointed.
The sun will shine on us again?
A- no, this doesnât mean Loki and Thor reunite in the future. BUT when the Avengers reverse the snap, the trees all go green again, and the SUN SHINES BRIGHTLY. So you have to think well, how did Loki know to say that? Itâs going to lead to sooo many fanfics and fan theories. (I had a theory quite a while back that this phrase might not mean Thor and Loki, and instead meant the Asgardians, and hate to say it but sheesh it seems I at last got something right.)
Overall?
Itâs getting a big 10/10 in the reviews and summaries Iâve seen, but also Iâve heard that, although satisfying in that it resolves a lot, it is a pretty depressing movie, albeit with lots of action, and a big fight at the end where everyone like Black Panther, Dr Strange heck EVERYONE from snappy time arrives. (But no Loki, who IMHO could have come through and fought alongside everyone. WOW imagine if heâd helped save Midgardians? Wouldnât that be a great resolution to his invasion in 2012? Wouldnât that close something off really nicely? Wahhh)
ALSO Iâve read that itâs confusing (like, you donât say??)
So- although I like that they didnât exactly spell out that Loki was dead, neither did they explain the huge holes in that first scene of IW. It also means that when Thanos hurled Lokiâs body at Thor (or towards the audience), saying âno resurrections this timeâ he really was breaking the fourth wall. That, plus that whole disjointed scene, is going to leave me angry for all time.
Leaving it this way lets his fans able to say he got away and the non-fans say nah, he dead. But it also means that the last time we see Loki in an MCU film, heâs seen as a villain.
Lastly, a link to one of the spoiler vidâs Iâve watched.

I read this one somewhere and copied it down but i forgot where it came from: My cat keeps breaking into your apartment next to mine so I tied a note to its collar to apologize and you write back so we keep exchanging cat notes and youâre pretty funny AU
Soooo sorry it took so long! But here you go - I hope youâll like it! ^^
(Also, hereâs the link to your previous requested drabble because I donât think it tagged you correctly)
Thanks to @twiggy242 for helping me come up with the pun (though he claims all the credit for the pun apparently xd)Â :D
âThere youare!â
Hiccuprushed to his window, hugging the black cat to his chest.
âI swearyouâll be the death of me,â he set the animal on his kitchen floor, letting outa long sigh. Closing his eyes briefly, his heart surged to his throat when thecat had disappeared again. âToothless? Odinâs beard â Toothless!â
The cat wasalready back on the windowsill, ready to embark on his another great adventure.
âOh no youdonât.â
Toothlessmeowed in response but Hiccup just shot him an unamused look.
âI alreadyhad to apologize for you once and,â he paused, his eyes on the catâs redcollar. âand I donât think she noticed.â
Despite hiscat moving around he managed to get ahold of the note tied to the collar.Surely his apology was still there, his messy handwriting reading âSorry, he keeps escaping through the windowâ.He was ready to throw the piece of paper away when he noticed letters on theother side.
âClose the window then? ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻâ
Huh.
Well then,he couldnât say he expected a response, not like that anyway. Without thinkingmuch about it, he scribbled a response underneath.
âIn that heat? No wayâ
âYou liveonce, eh?â he asked his cat, suddenly realizing how sad it must have looked.And how ridiculous this idea was to begin with. Potentially jeopardizing hisnonexistent relationship with his (beautiful) neighbor, he tied the note backto Toothlessâs collar.
One thingwas for sure â you did not need to tell the cat twice to get out venturingagain.
Hiccup endedup being half-annoyed (that the cat left) and half-nervous (that the note left with the cat). He leaned out of thewindow, curiosity winning over what was left of his decency. His eyes caught ahand from the apartment next to him, instructing Toothless out.
Suddenlythe catâs collar was the most interesting thing in the world.
âYour cat just gave me a cold shoulder â maybe trythat instead? :Pâ
He snorted.
Of coursehe had to reply. If she was going to sass him, it was only right to sass herback.
It did notend with one more note, or two moreâŠor ten.
Overseveral weeks they had settled into this comfortable yet unusual friendship, orso heâd like to believe. Whenever they would pass each other on their way in orout of the apartment building they would smile at each other knowingly, thoughthey never really talked.
How couldit be that it was so easy to talk to her through his cat (of all things!) butwhenever he faced her, he suddenly forgot how to speak, and how his palms gotsweaty, his stomach feeling the tiniest of bits tighter.
But thenher mail ended up in his mail box.
Not thefirst time but this this  - this timehe was determined to do something aboutit. And so after some compulsory pacing around his flat (judged by his catof course) and three attempts, he found himself before her apartment, knockingon her door, mail in hand.
âHi.â
She lookedconfused for a second until her lips broke into an easy smile and she leaned onthe doorframe, all smug like that.
âHey,discount cat whisperer.â
He gave outa soft laugh at the nickname he had acquired throughout the last couple of weeks.
âI, um,â hegestured the mail in his hand like the stupid dolt he was. Astridâs eyes,though, werenât on him. He quickly turned around as well, only now noticing hehad left his apartment doors slightly ajar.
âOh come on.â
His eyestrailed over the most smug cat in the entire universe that had the nerve to slid into Astridâs apartment, brushingover their legs with his tail. He expected her to be annoyed but, instead, sheappeared to be amused by the whole situation, eyes bright and a smirk formingon her lips. He smiled shyly.
âBut Iclosed the window this time.âÂ
Ta-dah!

Julian Week, Day 6: Healing
I was actually working on this fic before Julian week, but then I saw that âHealingâ was a prompt, so I saved it for that! :D So this takes place on his birthday, even though it is technically a few days past it now.
**Depression is a theme in this fic, and there is a brief mention of suicidal thoughts, so those with sensitivity to these subjects, PLEASE take caution! I have tagged them, but just in case.**
Also, whooooops, I got really carried away. This monstrosity is nearly 2,800 words. Make yourself a warm drink and grab a snack before you dive in, sheesh.
@thearcanaweek
It wasn't often that his negative thoughts got the best of him anymore. At least, that was how it seemed to her. He would crack a self-deprecating joke and be too honest of his darker thoughts about himself at times, but that would be a hard habit to break. He had at least been more receptive, more reactive to her concerns as of late.
But today? Today, his thoughts were dark, like the gloom that choked the sunlight. And although she hated it every day, today she hated it most of all.
Because today was his birthday, and he was the one who was the least excited about it.
Olivier had went behind his back to set up a lovely dinner at Portia's cabin for that evening. The handmaiden had done everything in her power to set up a way for them to sneak in undetected, planning to feed them with flavors from her and Julian's home. Ollie had jumped at the idea, even working her own magic by baking sweets for the first time in forever. But the day had started out poorly. She had awoken beside him, and tried to rouse him, but he had curled further into himself, insisting to her that he had simply not slept well and would be out of bed soon. She had complied at the time, moving down the stairs of the shop to make herself a morning pot of tea. She went through all the motions--setting the pot on to boil, caging a blend of tea leaves and herbs in an infuser and placing it in her mug, and munching on the heel of a loaf of pumpkin bread from her favorite bakery while the water heated. She had even started into a tome of healing herbs absentmindedly with her finished tea while she waited for Julian to come down.
But she surmised that an hour had passed before she gave up on listening for him on the stairs. Feeling worried for his health, she had gone back up the stairs to check on him. He was exactly where she'd left him, curled into himself and facing the windowless wall. She crossed the room, coming to rest at his side of the bed and leaning over him to press a soft kiss to the furrowed brow above the unpatched red eye. He was staring blankly forward, gaze distant.
"Ilya, my love, what's the matter?" She spoke softly, squeezing into bed with him and curling her limbs around him, concerned gaze levelling with his. His eyes met hers, almost looking apologetic. He opened his mouth to say something, but decided against it and closed his mouth again, a slow sigh easing from his nose. She clicked her tongue softly, smoothing her thumb over his brow in an attempt to ease the intense crease in it. His arms, which had loosely snaked around her when she'd invited herself into them, squeezed her tightly to his chest.
"I'm sorry," he whispered. She felt her own brows furrow as she returned his embrace.
âWhat in the world for?" She asked, a light and incredulous chuckle shaking her shoulders.
"This. Me. Being this way. I very much dislike you seeing this part of me," he grumbled. "Usually, on days like this, I would have gone to the Raven and been in two or three drinks by now. But I just...couldn't today." She balled her fist in the fabric over his shoulder blade, pressing her cheek to his chest and humming.
"Well, even if I don't like the reason why you didnât end up there, I'm glad you arenât at the Raven at this time in the morning. If Bartholomew served you a drink before noon in this state, I would have some choice words for him," she grumped, making him laugh softly. She pulled back and smiled up at him, sweeping the hair from his face and placing a slow kiss on his lips, which he sluggishly returned and combed his fingers through her still bed-mussed hair. After breaking the kiss, she rested her head on his arm and simply stared at him for a few moments, making him tilt his head quizzically. "Ilya, I love you. Every part of you. When you're being suave and debonair, when you're afraid but still acting brave, when you use that silver tongue to get us into as much trouble as it gets us out of... Even when your demons get the best of you, I love you. You do not need to apologize for this," she said carefully to him, cupping his gaunt cheeks in her hands to hold his gaze. "I just want you to let me help you. You don't ever need to face the darkness in your mind alone again. Just let me be here for you."
He bit his bottom lip, trying to tear his face away from hers so she wouldn't see the tears shining in his eyes. He attempted to rub them away with his thumb and forefinger, shaking his head. Damn, he hated how easily affected he was when he was in these moods. "I don't deserve this," he muttered out, a sheepish cough of emotion-tainted laughter shaking the words from his mouth. "All of this love and acceptance, the strength you bolster me with. I can't possibly..." He shook his head again, the hand not falling away from his eyes. She went to bark a protest at him, but thought better of it. He wouldn't hear those words right now. Scolding him as he was now would only make matters worse. All he needed right now were words that assured.
âLoving you costs me nothing but time spent daydreaming, Ilya. But it costs me a lot to see you hurting. I can shoulder some of your pain to ease it, but I cannot be asked to stand by and do nothing. I must give you this. I must. Otherwise I'll lose myself. It is not a matter of deserving or not deserving, it is a matter of having nowhere else to put all of these feelings for you. If not in this, then where? If I keep them inside and do nothing with them, I'll probably explode. So I must care for you like this. I can't think of any other options," she shrugged casually. He bit his lip harder, pulling her against his chest to keep her from looking at his face.
"Thank you, Ollie," he croaked, his hold on her growing tighter still. She could hardly breathe under the weight of his embrace, but somehow it was a comforting form of discomfort. When the strength of his hug seemed to fade, the momentary rush of emotion dimming from a flare to a glow, she pulled back to see his face again. She swiped a single tear from his red eye and leaned up to kiss the sharp cheekbone.
"Oh, and, happy birthday, my dearest. I'm beyond amazed that you are mine. Would you⊠come downstairs so I could give you your first gift of the day?" She smirked at him. He blushed and gave her a confused look.
"First gift?" He squeaked. She laughed and backed out of the bed, weaving her fingers into his and pulling him up.
"Don't overthink it. It might be horrible anyway, but I tried my best," she admitted. Before she could pull him too far, he scrambled and reached for the eyepatch that lay discarded on his side of the bed. She caught his wrist before he could grab it. He glanced up at her with apprehension, but she pulled his hand up to her face and pressed a kiss to his knuckles. âItâs just us here. You donât have to.â She successfully pulled him to his feet, leading him down the stairs to the tiny kitchen.
"Anything you do could never be bad, my dear," he encouraged weakly in response to her lack of self-confidence from before, the shadows in his mind still tormenting him enough to steal the usual mirth from his voice. Concern flashed across her face before her smile returned. She pushed him down into the chair at the meager kitchen table, scooting over to the counter and pulling a plate covered by a cloth from the cabinet. She placed it in front of him and whisked the cloth away dramatically.
âTa-dah!â she grinned. On the plate, a small pistachio cake sat, decorated with a small swirl of frosting and dusted with crushed pistachios. âI heard that pistachio is your favorite,â she said in a sing-song tone. He smiled down at the cake, but the smile didnât reach his eyes.
âYou heard correctly. It is one of my favorites. One of many.â He picked up the cake in one hand, taking a bite and chewing thoughtfully. It tasted wonderful, of course. If there was one thing that was undeniably true, it was the fact that Ollie was a good cook and baker. That was something he would never complain about. She waited in heavy silence, fists bunched in the hem of her shirt.
âWell?â she asked after what felt like forever. He paused in the middle of taking another bite.
âHm? âŠOh, itâs good!â he said in a rush, not realizing that he hadnât praised it aloud. âBut honestly, how couldnât it be? You have a way with food, Ollie.â He smiled again, a little more genuine this time, but still not fully in his eyes. She clenched her jaw in worry, but returned the smile with her own and settled into the seat catty-corner to him, in front of her tome of healing herbs that sheâd abandoned before.
âWell, Iâd never made that particular recipe before, so I couldnât be sure. Iâm glad you like it, though.â
Silence stretched between them again as he worked on the cake and she returned to her reading. This was normal for them. If they ran out of things to say, the silence was also comfortable. But today, there was something thick and heavy about the silence. Still, she pushed past it and continued through the tome, Julianâs eyes skating over the words too.
âMm, I need to get some more lavender,â she mumbled under her breath as she reached the section of the page that mentioned it. âIt mixes well with teas.â
He snorted a small laugh out of his nose. This was normal for her. Grasping at some possible topic of conversation to get a response from him. It was often how they lost track of time, taking about nothing important.
âYou know, I used to put lavender in myâŠin my mask. I preferred the smell over a lot of other herbs. That and camphor, amongst a few others. It seemed I wasnât the only one though, as it started to run on short supply after a while in that time,â he mumbled, remembering his days as âDoctor Julesâ with little fondness.
âThat makes sense. It is used for relaxation. Says here that some people use it for insomnia as well. Wonder if it would help you sleep,â she muttered back, still rather absorbed in the text. He felt tension rise in his shoulders, sucking in a slow breath and releasing it.
âNo, I donât think it would. I think it would bring back too much. Too many bad memories.â He looked ahead, seeing the patients heâd helped again in his mindâs eye as he took another bite of the cake. There was something hauntingly strong about the connection between smell and memory, and he didnât want to ever go back to that place. She broke from her trance of reading at his words, seeming to suddenly remember herself and realize what sheâd just suggested.
âNo, youâre probably right. I-Iâm sorry, I didnât meanââ she backpedaled. He chewed his last bite of the cake and shook his head, dusting the crumbs from his fingers.
âDonât worry, my love, I know,â he soothed. He blinked away the visual memories playing through his mind, glancing down at the book and tracing the lines of the lavender illustration with his eyes. âYou know, itâs funny. Most people say that memories grow fonder over time. That the hurt fades away and leaves behind something to look back on. But I donât think thatâs always true. Maybe itâs because I canâtâŠâ he paused, letting his head rest in his hands and scrubbing over his face to shake away the mental exhaustion. âThere are still things I canât remember. If my memory was sound, maybe Iâd know what to look back on with fondness. But for now, I just have what I know and what the people around me seem to know.â
She looked up at him and pursed her lips, worry creasing her brow. âWeâll find your memories, Ilya. Theyâll come back to you.â
He huffed a short, curt laugh. âYes, wellâŠI donât know what will happen to me when they do. There are so many things that I donât understand about my own actions, and thatâs soâŠso infuriating. What was I thinking that night? What did I actually do? What was keeping me there? Was it this?â he gestured to the eye with a red sclera as his gaze drilled into the table, as if the wood grain would somehow give him his answers. Ollie clenched her hands into fists, nails biting into her palms. His turbulent mood was taking an angry turn as his voice rose in steady increments, and she blamed herself. If she had just left it alone... âAnd if I had been captured for my crime, why did I try to escape? Why did I escape? Why did I run from the hangmanâs noose if I wanted to die then like I doââ he stopped himself before he could finish that declaration, his eyes widening in fear at his own words. Did he really think that way? He came back to himself when he felt Olivierâs hand clenched in his sleeve. He glanced up to her face and felt a lump form quickly in his throat. She had her hand pressed to her nose and mouth, containing her frightened sniffles as tears streamed down her face.
âIlya, I donât want you to die,â she said, her voice sounding so shaken and small. It tore right through him.
âN-no. No, of course. Iâm sorry, IâŠI was justâŠâ he tried his best to explain himself, but he lacked the words. For a moment, he had looked too deeply into the pessimistic, dark enigma in the back of his mind and had taken too long to look away. It had beckoned him closer, begging him to give in, and for a moment, his mind had weakened. âOllie, I didnât mean it. Maybe at one time, that was true, but not anymore. I donât want to die anymore. Why do you think Iâm running so much?â he laughed weakly, trying to lighten the mood with little success. Gods, no, he didnât really want to die. Not now, especially when they were this close to getting answers. Not when he had been reunited with his sister. Not when he had found a place in the heart of a certain magicianâs apprentice. Not when she had found a place in his. He pulled her into his lap, soothing her by slowly stroking her hair as she choked out the last bit of her fear against his chest. The dark cloud that had surrounded him that morning finally broke when he was able to see what it was doing to her.
âI know you have a lot of hurt,â she started meekly, âbut I donât want you to give up. I know it is hard some days, butâŠIâm here for you. Portia is here for you. Ilya, youâve made so much progress already. Youâre healing, changing. Baby steps. It only needs to be baby steps.â She curled into his chest as his arms held her there, the silence losing its heaviness from before as they basked in one anotherâs comfort. After a few moments, she placed her hand on the left side of his chest, inhaling slowly as she felt his heart beat.
âThank you for living. Thank you for being strong and staying alive. I donât know what life would be like without you now,â she mumbled, letting her head rest against his shoulder. He tightened his arms around her in a firm embrace.
âThank you for giving me reasons to keep fighting, darling. You have no idea how much strength you give me,â he whispered into her hair. âNow...what other gifts are there? You did say that cake was only my first.â He shot her a cheeky grin, finally succeeding in lifting her spirits. She swatted his chest and chuckled softly. They exchanged a look of reassurance as the mood around them finally shifted into the excitement that should have been there to begin with.
âPatience, my dear. Youâll get them in time.â
