Prompt 23 - Flower

Previous part First Wolfstar part

Sirius stuck his arm out near to where Regulus stood and growled.

“No,” He’d guessed correctly that Regulus was less than a second away from stunning Narcissa. 

“No, what?” Narcissa questioned him, looking warily at his outstretched arm. “Sirius, what are you doing here?” She asked again. That’s when Regulus saw the shift of her hand. How it slid from her book and across her ever so slightly protruding stomach. He lowered his wand. 

“I need something from this room,” Sirius told her honestly.

“And how did you get in?” She looked nervous. Regulus had never seen her look anything but put together, serene, exactly how her parents had taught her to be. Delicate, beautiful and perfect, just like the flower she was named for. 

“You should really check who’s allowed in and out of your home, Cissa. You never know who might darken your door,” Sirius smirked. 

“What is it that you came to take?” She asked, ignoring his response. 

“You won’t want me taking it,” He warned her. 

“Oh, so the notebook then?” She sighed. Carefully, she placed her book on the small table beside her, glided over to the bookcase and selected a battered black notebook from the shelf. She looked at it with an air of disgust and tossed it to Sirius. “Here take it, I don’t want it anywhere near us,” She spat. Sirius caught it with fumbling fingers. He looked at her in confusion. 

“What? Just like that? You’re just giving it to us?” Regulus could feel a trap. His wand slowly rose again, pointing directly at Narcissa. 

“Our family has become too entangled with that man. Bella, Regulus, how many more of us are going to pay for another man’s greed for power? Andy left because of those same ideals that our parents spout, that Lucius and the rest of them have ingrained in them.” She sat back down and took up her book again. “Get it out of here and I won’t say anything to anyone.” Regulus nudged Sirius in the side.

“H-how do we know you won’t set your husband on us as soon as we walk out of this room?”

“We?” Narcissa narrowed her eyes. “Why do you keep speaking in the plural? Who else is here, Sirius?” She demanded. Regulus tensed. They couldn’t lose this chance. He pulled the invisibility cloak off himself and stared at Narcissa’s shocked face.

“B-b-but you’re dead!” She stammered. 

“Believed to be dead,” Regulus drawled. “You have Voldemort and Bella to thank for that.” 

“But your parents think you’re—”

“Dead? Yes, I am well aware and wish to keep it that way. What we are doing is far too important for my survival to get out." He glared at her.  "Have I made an error in showing myself to you, Narcissa? Or are you actually going to help us make this world a better place for your child?” He nodded pointedly at her stomach. Her hand tightened around the bump again. 

“Take it and leave. Your secret is safe with me.” She said truthfully. Her jaw quivered only slightly as she spoke.

“Good, now we need to transfigure one of your other books so no one else will think anything is amiss. Do you have any recommendations?” 

They transfigured an old copy of Witch Weekly, placing it on the shelf in the spot Narcissa had retrieved the notebook from and slipped out of Narcissa’s study. 

“I’m glad you’re both alive,” She whispered before the invisibility cloak fell into place. “Maybe after all this, we can have tea?”

“Yeah, sure Cissa, that sounds nice,” Sirius said before they hurried away. The battered notebook clutched firmly in Regulus’s hand.

Maomao returning home after her and Jinshi's street date in EP17

[thankchaosforspellcheck]

kinda wish someone would write a reaction fic of Dr. Mensah reading the in-universe letter murderbot sent her before it fucked off that is literally just 80% of the actual book. I feel like she probably had a lot of feelings while reading all of that.

imagine hyping yourself up to read a goodbye letter from a sapient construct you trauma bonded with and the intro is essentially "After I hacked my governor unit I could have become a mass murderer, but instead I spent about four years just checking out various forms of media. As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure."

I would've laughed so hard I cried

hey. hi. hello. um? hey?

we, as a fandom, simply do not talk about this moment often enough.

MAYBE I’D LET YOU CHASE ME AROUND FOR A FEW MORE CENTURIES. THAT WAS ALWAYS THE FUN PART, ANYWAY.

Maomao in various hanfu #1: Garden Party Outfit

[blackcrystalball]

I was on the d20 subreddit and it is truly fascinating to see people do all kinds of mental gymnastics to avoid criticizing Evan for invading Jammer's privacy, and outing his location and general activities to his friends, while criticizing K, with fervour, at every opportunity for literally anything, in the same breath. Like beyond them killing Evan, which they do deserve criticism for, there are people on there hating them with a, "burning passion," which is kind of a lot.

There's just a major vibe difference between how people are talking about Evan and K, and to a lesser extent Sam and Jammer, that feels kind of charged ngl.

I'm literally seeing the, "my blorbo could never do anything wrong," verses, "put that bitch in the fires," in real time. I genuinely wonder what is happening in their heads as they do this. What is their thought process here.

Love how Maomao isnt the 'spawned out of the ether' kind of autistic you often see in media. She is very clearly the daughter of two autistic (& otherwise neurodivergent) people. As well as having, at the very least, an autistic grand uncle.

Like thats some real autistic rep right there. Got a family history of autism, accociated trauma and all. I love it.
