Prompt ~ see ask^^^^^^

Covers this bingo square

Your routine as a simple farmers daughter. Until you saw her. It was purely accidental. Heading back along the broader to the forest from delivering eggs from the farm was where you first laid eyes on the regal woman. Her pure onyx coloured horses guiding her grand carriage past you effortlessly. That’s when you caught the first glance of the queen. It’s all it should’ve been really. A simple glance. Until it was more.

Every day you’d find a way to escape to the castle. No one needed to know. She didn’t even know you existed. Why would she? A stunning example of a woman and a farmers daughter quickly becoming an old maid. No one noticed you and for the first time you were now glad for it. It made it easier to sit just outside of the castle gardens completely unnoticed by the guards as you continued to drink in every step the queen took, memorise every detail of her tight dresses and even going as far to commit the images and sounds of her voice to memory. One glance wasn’t meant to lead to this. You knew it was creepy, the poor woman didn’t know you were watching her so intently every day or how you fantasised about her every night beneath the darkness of your room.

A vivid memory of what you thought to be a dream lead you here. Every day. You’d start in granny’s cafe, trail behind her as she strutted towards the office for a full day of being mayor. After finishing working at the near by high school library you’d catch a glimpse of her heading home to Henry. Her son. Yet you never noted a husband. Before waiting in the shadows as she readied herself for bed before retreating to your own home under the cover of darkness to repeat the same routines.

The day the spell lifted it was purely instinctual for you seek the evil queen out. And there she was in her usual attire back at her own family crypt. You’d seen her visit many times over the years, mayor mills stood in her queen attire, a deep burgundy dress decorated with black delicate lacy trim and a train only worthy of a queen. Her makeup sporting the dark Smokey eye that you didn’t realise you’d missed all these years. Looking the exact same as you recall all those years ago. Content to watch from afar until she pounced.

Within an instant her purple smoke wrapped itself around your form, skilfully tying you with deep purple silks and removing any clothing you had on. Anyone stupid enough to stalk the queen would be punished. “Oh, look at you. All tied up and ready to be punished.” In the dimly lit room you should’ve felt fear, embarrassment or well shame yet all you could do is drink in the sight of the women before you. As regal as ever the evil queen scanned over your form as everything clicked into place. Her little stalker.

“Hm what a naughty little stalker you’ve been. Following me for years thinking I would let you get away with it. Hiding in the shadows like a desperate little whore” the raven haired queen husked taking calculated steps towards you, never once losing your eye contact. You aren’t yourself, that’s your excuse. She knows. Of course she knew. She’s the evil queen. Yet you still can’t help but try to gain some control here, “i’ve been very bad. i think i need to be punished. “

“You have the nerve to stalk me, to act like nothing more than a bitch in heat desperately trying to gain my attention and then demand what I will do with you?” Her words were accompanied with a flick of her wrist causing a blindfold to be snuggly situated around your head covering your eyes, “do I need to gag you too? Or will you be a good little play toy and learn your place?”

“I’ll be good your majesty” you mumbled thoughtfully, after years of watching her it was clear you are on thin ice here. Perhaps this was what you needed. Her to use and abuse you so your own selfish carnal need to be around her would leave. It wasn’t uncommon for the queen to bed many a people in her time of reign, men and women alike had come and gone through her chambers. And well, this had to be a dream. “Oh a cleaver play thing I have” she praised in thought before taking measured steps to reach your bound body and drag it into position. From there she made short work of her dress and exposing her warm core to the room. “Kneel” she commanded, smirking as your body fell willingly into position, “be a dear and make your queen cum and cum hard or I’ll lock you up somewhere no one would even dream of finding a pathetic stalker like you.”

Without needing to be told twice you immediately found your way to her dripping cunt and began to kiss lick and suck every inch of her. You’d imagined tasting her many times before but nothing compared to the real thing. Addicting. No wonder you’ve been after her for so long. Not being able to see the pleasure you were bestowing on her was irritating at best, but then again you didn’t need to. You’d seen her naked body many times over the years in Storybrook. Watching her change or just fresh out of the shower lotioning her smooth gorgeous skin was forever burnt into your memory.

“Such a good slut making her queen feel so good” Regina mewled at a particularly harsh suck to her sensitive bundle of nerves causing you to hum against her soaked folds, arms struggling against the magical silks binding your arms. “Oh does the pathetic whore want to touch her queen?” She teased noticing your squirming, “such a slut for your queen I bet you’d let me keep you forever, personal sex doll for me to use. You’d be the perfect choice wouldnt you?”

When she came, you’d never been more grateful for your attention to detail. Learning quickly what she wanted and her body’s silent cues causing a gush of sweetness to reward your hard effort. It didn’t matter you were uncomfortable, that your tongue had long since grown tired and your knees numb because she may as well be your own personal brand of drug. A sharp tug at your hair demanding you move causing you to mumble in your submissive gaze “Reality is even better than my dreams.”

Your words caught the queen off guard for a second before she murmured a spell to herself to produce a magically enchanted stap on, “silly girl, whores like you need a good fucking to set you back on the right path. Maybe you’ll learn to ask rather than watch like a creep.” Her words stung, you couldn’t help the desire to see her all the time, to know her routines and what she looked like underneath her clothes. It’s really her fault for being too damn sexy. Sex on legs as you called her in private. Due to your sight being taken away, you stumbled as Regina rose to her full height to bend you over the desk you just ate her out on. Hips being slammed onto her desk as she grew impatient, “behave little girl or I’ll leave you here like this, a good for nothing slut for anyone to use. Pathetic.”

Without giving you time to even consider her words you felt the head of a faux cock pressing against your slit, “your majesty! I can’t. I’ve never” you whimpered pitifully. “Oh so filthy pathetic and a virgin? Even more reason to make you mine” she decided out loud and you knew there was no point in pretending you didn’t want her to be your first. “Hold still dear, it hurts more if you move” was her only warning, a moment of tenderness showing how poorly the king had treated her to the trained eye, before she slowly pressed her hips into yours. The toy slipping into your soaking cunt, stretching you out in ways you never knew it could.

“Oh fuck Regina!” You cried out dazed at the full feeling she’d given you. A harsh smack to your right ass cheek and a harsh reminder of you losing your place, “it’s your majesty bitch” before starting to slip out of your pussy only to slam back in, moaning at the feel of your virgin walls suffocating her shaft. “Mine.” She growled “sweet filthy stalker. All mine.”

“All yours majesty! Please please more” you whined taking her now brutal thrusts as pain morphed into white hot pleasure, “want to be yours. Make me yours.” As if the woman needed encouragement. You were hers. Now and forever. “Silly girl, I’m never letting you leave. Ever” she moaned before moving her lips to kiss your shoulder sweetly. Instinctively you leaned your head to the side, allowing her access to your smooth neck as you took everything she had to give. Only when the queen sunk her teeth into to junction between your neck and shoulder did you finally let go, covering the magical shaft in your warm cum, inner walls milking it dry as she tries to prolong your orgasm. “Mine” is all she offers as she slips from your abused core and releases the magical ties.

Laying there on her floor, little room she often hides out in to be alone with her magical books, away from home you hazily rake your eyes over your wife. “Mm so sex on legs” you mumble as she works to magically clean up and change her outfit. “I take it you liked that darling?” Liked would be an understatement, you mentioned before how much you loved her outfits and well the role play was her idea to try out. “Mm Gina so good” you whimpered feeling her magic dress you in a loose shirt, “snuggle?”

If you’d told anyone. That mayor mills, the evil queen was a snuggler no one would believe you. Then again no one in the enchanted forest believed you when you said all those daily visits to the castle would make her notice you. Her sweet little stalker, saviour of her heart, a simple farmers daughter.

The Fat Farm

She sat outside in the sunshine on the uncomfortable chair outside the expensive cafe which had parted her from an obscene amount of her dwindling human currency.

She was resplendent. Unable to be any other way. She wore white boots, large dark sunglasses, and a white flowing dress that seemed to follow movement patterns in the light breeze pre-programmed to enhance her dramatic presence and general attractiveness.

She was both utterly alien and devastatingly beautiful all at once.

"Why are they all so fat? So ugly," she asked herself. Her eyes slowly moving from human to human as they passed her vantage point. It had been a very long time since she had experienced Earth Realm, and much had changed. The humans were shadows, huge podgy meat bag shadows, of what they had been and what they could have been. It was revolting. She could barely stand them.

Her lip curled as one particularly large lumbering sack of blood and shit limped close to her position. Repugnant.

A figure emerged from the throng, approached, and sat opposite her... a curt subtle bow before he did so. "Your Majesty," he said.

She knew instantly he was Fae, his vibrations through the hive mind identified him from some distance, and she had been tracking his progress as he moved toward her for some while. He was high-born. Afraid. Brave. Loyal. He had been here a long time. She knew this with barely a glance.

"This place is a fat farm, and these creatures are nothing more than embarrassing livestock... this is what they become without us, is it? I fear we have let ourselves... and them down with our absence."

"It would appear so, Majesty," he offered diplomatically.

She sipped her tea. "Then it is a good job we have returned... and how fortunate they are that one such as me has now arrived to lead proceedings."

"Then it is done, Majesty?" He asked. "The Emperor chooses you?" There was a hint of a wince in his tone. Just a hint.

She took another careful sip of her tea. He had not. "He will do."

The high-born nodded politely.

"Do you have the weapon?" She placed the teacup carefully on the table.

"The Raven retrieved it. I have it. It is here."

She held out her hand.

He reached into his bag and withdrew a short slender dagger, placing it carefully into her palm as if placing an armed grenade.

She took it from him and with a flourish secreted it about her person. "He is very good at finding our lost things."

He nodded again, not wishing to be drawn into even thinking 'The Raven' without that creature's express permission. "What now?" he asked.

"You go... back to the edges, wherever you came from... and I... I bring the next phase of this story to these pathetic worm people... we are Loa to these... herd animals, we are spirits, myths... legends... Gods. We will assume our rightful place in due course. We will take back what is rightfully ours..."

"For the Emperor," he interjected.

She smiled. Every human within a hundred feet saw and was momentarily enchanted. None of them ever forgot her face. It haunted dreams, provided fantasies, fueled hope... and sparked fears forevermore.

"Of course...." she said softly.

"Then I leave you, Lilith, my High Queen." He bowed from his seated position. "All hail Eris." He stood, stepped into the foot traffic of humans, and was gone.

"All hail Lilith The Rebel," she whispered once he was safely out of earshot.

Nonfiction Thursday: Food for Thought

Salmon Wars by Douglas Frantz & Catherine Collins

A decade ago, farmed Atlantic salmon replaced tuna as the most popular fish on America’s dinner tables. We are told salmon is healthy and environmentally friendly. The reality is different. Almost all salmon sold in markets and restaurants are raised in floating feedlots that pollute our oceans and risk our health.

In Salmon Wars: The Dark Side of America's Favorite Fish, investigative journalists Douglas Frantz and Catherine Collins document how a handful of multinationals transformed salmon farming into our generation’s version of Big Tobacco by concealing health risks and attacking critics. The authors go beneath the water’s surface where millions of salmon are crammed into parasite-plagued cages and fed a chemical-laced diet. The authors document the spread of diseases that threatens the declining population of wild salmon. They take readers inside hatcheries, where young salmon are treated like garbage, and to the farms that threaten our fragile coasts. They draw vivid portraits of characters like the big salmon farmer who poisoned his own backyard, the fly-fishing activist who risked everything to ban salmon farms in the Puget Sound, and the American researcher driven out of Norway for raising alarms about dangerous contaminants in salmon. Finally, the authors chart the future of a salmon farming industry that does not harm the environment or ourselves. What’s at stake, Frantz and Collins explain, is our health, the health of our children, and the health of our planet.

See You in the Piazza by Frances Mayes

The Roman Forum, the Leaning Tower, the Piazza San these are the sights synonymous with Italy. But such landmarks only scratch the surface of this magical country's offerings. In See You in the Piazza, Frances Mayes introduces us to the Italy only the locals know, as she and her husband, Ed, eat and drink their way through thirteen regions—from Friuli to Sicily. Along the way, she seeks out the cultural and historic gems not found in traditional guidebooks.

Frances conjures the enchantment of the backstreets, the hubbub of the markets, the dreamlike wonder of that space between lunch and dinner when a city cracks open to those who would wander or when a mind is drawn into the pages of a delicious book—and discloses to us the secrets that only someone who is on intimate terms with a place could find.

Ten Tomatoes that Changed the World by William Alexander

The tomato gets no respect. Never has. Lost in the dustbin of history for centuries, accused of being vile and poisonous, subjected to being picked hard-green and gassed, even used as a projectile, the poor tomato has become the avatar for our disaffection with industrial foods — while becoming the most popular vegetable in America (and, in fact, the world). Each summer, tomato festivals crop up across the country; the Heinz ketchup bottle, instantly recognizable, has earned a spot in the Smithsonian; and now the tomato is redefining the very nature of farming, moving from fields into climate-controlled mega-greenhouses the size of New England villages. 

Supported by meticulous research and told in a lively, accessible voice, Ten Tomatoes That Changed the World seamlessly weaves travel, history, humor, and a little adventure (and misadventure) to follow the tomato's trail through history. A fascinating story complete with heroes, con artists, conquistadors, and—no surprise—the Mafia, this book is a mouth-watering, informative, and entertaining guide to the food that has captured our hearts for generations.

The Cuban Sandwich by Andrew T. Huse

How did the Cuban sandwich become a symbol for a displaced people, win the hearts and bellies of America, and claim a spot on menus around the world? The odyssey of the Cubano begins with its hazy origins in the midnight cafes of Havana, from where it evolved into a dainty high-class hors d'oeuvre and eventually became a hearty street snack devoured by cigar factory workers. In The Cuban Sandwich, three devoted fans--Andrew Huse, Barbara Cruz, and Jeff Houck--sort through improbable vintage recipes, sift gossip from Florida old-timers, and wade into the fearsome Tampa vs. Miami sandwich debate (is adding salami necessary or heresy?) to reveal the social history behind how this delicacy became a lunch-counter staple in the U.S. and beyond.

The authors also interview artisans who've perfected the high arts of creating and combining expertly baked Cuban bread, sweet ham, savory roast pork, perfectly melted Swiss cheese, and tangy, crunchy pickles. Tips and expert insight for making Cuban sandwiches at home will have readers savoring the history behind each perfect bite.

Reykjavík: A Journey Through Time and Beauty

Reykjavík, the capital and largest city of Iceland, is a captivating blend of rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning natural beauty. As the northernmost capital of a sovereign state, Reykjavík offers a unique combination of modern urban life and the raw, untamed landscapes that Iceland is famous for. This article delves into the history of Reykjavík, highlights must-visit places, and provides insights into the best times to explore this enchanting city.

History of Reykjavík

Reykjavík's history dates back to the late 9th century when the Norseman Ingólfur Arnarson is believed to have established the first permanent settlement in 874 AD. According to legend, Ingólfur decided to settle in the area after his high seat pillars (a sign of where to build a homestead) washed ashore in the bay. He named the place "Reykjavík," meaning "Smoky Bay," due to the steam rising from nearby hot springs, which are a hallmark of Iceland's geothermal activity.

For many centuries, Reykjavík remained a small fishing and farming community. It wasn't until the 18th century that significant development began, spurred by the establishment of wool workshops commissioned by the Danish King Frederik V. This marked the beginning of Reykjavík's transformation into a commercial hub. In 1786, Reykjavík received its official trading town status, which set the stage for its future growth.

The 19th and early 20th centuries saw Reykjavík evolve into the political and cultural heart of Iceland. The Icelandic independence movement gained momentum, culminating in the establishment of the Alþingi (parliament) in Reykjavík in 1845. Iceland achieved home rule in 1904, and full sovereignty from Denmark in 1918, with Reykjavík as its capital.

The city experienced rapid growth during and after World War II. The presence of Allied forces brought economic benefits and infrastructural improvements. Post-war Reykjavík saw a boom in urbanization and development, cementing its status as Iceland's primary city and a beacon of modernity and culture.

Places to Explore in Reykjavík

Reykjavík offers a diverse array of attractions that cater to history enthusiasts, nature lovers, and culture seekers. Here are some must-visit places in this vibrant city:

Hallgrímskirkja: This iconic Lutheran church, named after the Icelandic poet Hallgrímur Pétursson, is one of Reykjavík's most recognizable landmarks. Designed by architect Guðjón Samúelsson, its unique structure is inspired by Iceland's basalt lava flows. Visitors can ascend the tower for panoramic views of the city and surrounding landscapes.

Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre: Harpa is a modern architectural marvel located by the old harbor. Its striking glass façade reflects Reykjavík's dynamic cultural scene. Harpa hosts a variety of concerts, conferences, and events throughout the year, making it a cultural hotspot.

The Sun Voyager: This striking stainless steel sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason symbolizes a dream of hope, progress, and freedom. Situated by the sea, it offers stunning views of the ocean and nearby mountains, especially at sunset.

Perlan: Perlan, or "The Pearl," is a distinctive glass-domed structure that houses a nature exhibition, a planetarium, and a revolving restaurant. The observation deck provides a 360-degree view of Reykjavík and its surroundings. The Wonders of Iceland exhibition, showcasing the country's natural phenomena, is particularly popular.

National Museum of Iceland: For those interested in Icelandic history, the National Museum offers an extensive collection of artifacts dating from the Viking era to the present. It provides deep insights into the country's culture and heritage.

Laugavegur: Reykjavík's main shopping street, Laugavegur, is bustling with shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants. It's the perfect place to experience the city's vibrant street life and sample local cuisine.
