July 1979

The breeze swept coolly across your face against the warm summer sun as you stuck your hand outside the window, the air gliding over the back of it. You were headed to the stretch of woods that you’ve all come to know so well, something that was highly anticipated the moment the summer season had begun. Camping. It was something you and your friends had made into tradition without much discussion against it for the last three years. Lily had saved up for the very Volkswagen bus you’d been sitting in, knowing for a fact she’d get more use out of it than a simple small car; she knew her four closest friends were in it for the long haul and that was something that would always remain true.

It was mostly a golden yellow color, near orange, its roof white with a matching tire cover on the front of it between two round headlights. It was adorable, it was perfect, and most importantly it was big enough to fit a boisterous group of friends that surely needed the space. It’d already housed jovial memories that would be cherished for years to come.

You’d each packed up a bag or two, tossed them in the back and set off to the ever familiar place the five of you had found to be the perfect spot. A clearing amongst the woods, a place not far from the waters edge. It looked near enchanting when sunbeams filter through old yet thriving trees, as much as it could be for being a place without the very magic you’ve known all your life. It was perhaps your favorite tradition out of all others that had been created, one that you never failed to look forward to. No matter what’s been going on with any of you, traditions were never missed or forgotten. That was one thing that was constant and one thing would never change.

Another thing that had been just the same was the constant need for Sirius Black to get under your skin. You’d known him ever since you both were fourteen years old, and every day since then had been a battle of who’d been more witty and your three best friends had yet to determine who had been the rightful owner of that title. You were always bickering about something or another, always tossing narrowed stares and scrunched noses, grumbling under breaths and eye rolls. Even despite that, James, Remus and Lily especially had been convinced that there were feelings amongst it all. It hadn’t been too terribly hard for them to jump to that conclusion. They had their suspicions with each and every look Sirius had found himself giving you when your attention was fixed elsewhere. At the very same look you’d cast upon him when he wasn’t looking. They were absent minded actions to you both, and that was all the more reason for them to think there was something there.

It drove the tight knit group absolutely mad to see their two dearest friends love each other without even knowing of that very fact—James found himself far too close on multiple occasions to flat out complaining of the sheer obliviousness between you two. To simply tell them how blind the two of you must be. But each and every time he’d nearly done so it was promptly stopped by a stern Lily Evans who was not to be defied. They felt another day of this was simply not an option, too painful to watch a second more.

Even now, as you sat in the back with the raven haired wizard, the seating arrangement proved to make for an interesting trip. There was a flurry of jests and quips to match them; it was inevitable when he’d taken the seat right next to you, Remus on his other side. It’d been something entirely intentional on Lupin’s part, though the bickering was something to be expected.

First it had been over who was taking up too much of whose space, something accompanied by a lighthearted series of shoves and stifled laughter when you looked away in hopes the other wouldn’t see it. Then it had been when he’d changed the radio from your favorite song to his with a simple twitch of his fingers, a back and forth battle of rock and ABBA that nearly broke the radio, one that nearly drove your friends insane.

But now, Sirius had found himself staring as he so often does, at the way you waved your hand with the breeze, the way said breeze sifted through your hair and the way you sang along with James to the very same ABBA song that’d been on repeat for the past fifteen minutes. He’d reckon your voice far better than that of the brunette behind the wheel. He doesn’t know just why he always finds himself settling his attention upon you every moment he gets the chance. Or maybe he does and just refuses to admit the reasons for it. But there was something about you, there was always something about you to be admired. You were utterly enamoring even when you’ve got your brows scrunched over something entirely because of him. They never seem to stay furrowed for long.

“If you take a picture, it just might last longer,” you suggest with a raised brow and a smile indicative of your teasing, effectively pulling him from his thoughts.

“I’m sorry, it’s just you’ve got a bug in your hair,” he counters quickly, the corner of his mouth quirking upwards.

Your eyes are quick to widen slightly as your hand rises to your head in mild panic, combing your fingers through your hair in a hurry. His laughter was a telltale sign of his deception, that ever so familiar frown pulling down your lips as you swat at his shoulder. “Sirius Black, you’re a pain!”

His laughter was immediate as he caught your wrist from swatting him once more, “I’m not lying! There is something in your hair.”

He releases your arm in favor of reaching upwards, the tips of his fingers pinching the delicate flower petal tangled within your hair. Your words fell silent as his fingertips traveled down to the very end of your hair, a gentle action that had your cheeks staining what must have been an obvious pink as you found yourself looking at the smile on his lips. One that was soft and lopsided, one that grew as he held up the small pink petal before tilting his head at you. You hadn’t even realized you’d been holding your breath until that moment, hadn’t realized the new found quiet had drawn everyone’s attention.

“Told you so,” he states confidently, blowing away the petal and leaving it to flutter to your feet.

You squinted at him and mimicked his words to quickly move on from dwelling on your burning cheeks, something that brought a different kind of smile to his face mere seconds before you’d ruffled his own hair in retaliation.

“I meant what I said,” you remind him, trying to fight your grin as you watch tangled strands of black hair fall back against his cheeks once more.

“I am so terribly hurt,” he scoffs, placing a hand over his heart in a display of faux offense.

In that moment you settle for shaking your head, biting the inside of your cheek in a pitiful attempt to conceal your smile. A smile so awfully contagious he found himself mirroring it, having lingered on his lips even when you’d looked away from him in favor of looking out of the window. In doing so, you missed the way James had been glancing at you both in the rear view, at the way he shared a knowing grin with Lily, who’d then done so with Remus. It was a moment missed by you both, how could it not be with the way your thoughts had entirely been about each other unbeknownst to you.

It’d been quiet after that, save for the radio and James’ occasional startling outburst of song should a part come on that he’s fond of. It’d been peaceful and upbeat as Sirius crossed his arms over his chest, trying desperately not to think of how you’d made his stomach twist and flutter with butterflies. It was nothing, that’s what he told himself.

—

The place was just as beautiful and just the same as you’d left it the previous year, the sun still beaming through tall trees and the birds still chirping just as contently as they always do. Upon closer inspection, your initials had been carved in the very same tree, untouched since the five of you had left your mark on it the very first time you found it. Of course, it’d become weathered over time, moss having flourished over the bark, but the engraved letters remain regardless of that very fact.

The fire pit that James and Sirius had made still sat in the center of it all, it’s crumbled stones and charred logs and sticks sitting in a heap within it, waiting to be lit once more. Even the logs circling around it to serve as seats had still sat untouched by anyone else, unmoved from how they were left the previous trip out there.

It was exciting to finally be back there, to finally be out of the car in a place you longed to see again. All was well, except one thing.

“That is absolutely not happening,” you state matter of factly, the twigs snapping beneath your foot as you frown at Lily before narrowing your eyes at Sirius. One look at his smile, just one look, and you return your displeased gaze to the two in question, James making no effort to stifle his laughter at the situation. “No way, that is ridiculous!”

“Lupin must have forgotten to pack a third, Y/n/n,” Lily sympathizes with the softest of frowns to accompany her words, though you hadn’t missed the grin she’d tossed her friend’s way as he scratched the back of his neck and fought his own. “I’m sorry!”

“Then I’ll sleep in the bus with Remus,” you state quickly with a raised brow, crossing your arms over your chest stubbornly as you squint at Sirius’ very obvious grumbling behind you. His reasons for doing it were entirely unknown to you.

“C’mon, Y/n. Pad’s won’t bite,” James chimes in with a laugh, earning a swat to the back of the head from Lily before he protests her actions in return, shrugging his shoulders and rubbing his head. “Not very hard, at least.”

You purse your lips at the brunette and glared, biting the inside of your cheek to hide your smile. A smile that quickly faded as you glanced over your shoulder at the little tent that hadn’t stood very tall on the other side of the fire pit. Your heart leapt and raced within your chest at the thought of being so close, lips tugging downward as you looked back at them with a huff.

“I would say I can’t believe you, but I can,” you groan, brushing past them to get to the lake before they could become aware of your smile.

—

The last traces of sunshine were warm against your skin as you sat along the water’s edge with Lily, taking a moment to yourselves away from the utter chaos that came with the trio in the water. It was still a bit too cold to swim in but that’d never stop them from doing just that. Despite the chill that ran through you from it, everything around you had been exactly how it’s always been.

Wildflowers had bloomed just about everywhere you could imagine amongst patches of green and overgrown grass, framing the lake in varying hues of blues, yellows, purples, and pinks. When you sat at just the right angle, the reflection of the sky over the water had been absolutely wondrous, painting the water orange and pink. The ongoing breeze had been sifting through the leaves in the trees, leaving some to fall to the ground in its wake.

It was absolutely perfect, and you couldn’t think of just anywhere else you’d rather be in that moment than right where you are. You wouldn’t want to be there with anyone else.

“I think this is our best trip yet,” Lily states, leaning back on her palms as she tips her head back, allowing the sun to sweep across her skin.

“I think so too,” you sigh, letting your eyes fall closed as you hear another aguamenti spell used, followed by a bout of laughter that had a smile pulling at your lips at the sound. Her absence in conversation was sure a sign something was on her mind. It always was without fail.

She hadn’t left you to sit and wonder for too long before she spoke up.

“What do you think about Sirius?” There it is.

Your eyes squeeze shut at the question you anticipated, at the one you hadn’t expected her to wait so long in asked you. A soft huff left your lips as you opened your eyes, brows furrowing as she gave you an expectant look.

“Why do you ask?” You say, the corner of your mouth quirking up at her nosiness.

She shrugs her shoulders as she sits up more, heaps of red hair falling to splay against her back. “Just wondering.”

Her smirk was more than obvious as she looked at you, her smile widening. Lily and Remus had kept an eye on you both for quite a while, they knew that something had been there, it wasn’t that hard for them to figure out. Even if you hadn’t been aware of your own foolish love yourself, they’d certainly picked up on it. Because after every witty remark and every scoff and glare, there was always a smile to follow. After every frown and and nose scrunch as one of you stuck their tongue out at the other, there was always a lingering stare just moments after. Anyone could see that, anyone but to two involved that are far too stubborn and argumentative to realize that.

“Well?” She continues.

“Well what?” You ask, pulling your knees to your chest as you look at her.

“You can’t possibly have nothing to say about him, not after all the banter you do. What do you think of him?” She repeats.

You roll your eyes as you avert your gaze from her, resting your chin on your knees as you look ahead. You mull over your words as a laugh leaves your lips, your head shaking slightly as your eyes fall upon him. He’s got strands of wet black hair stuck to his face, cheeks reddened ever so slightly from the combined heat of the summer sun and the chilliness of the water. His smile was beaming and bright as he tips his head back and laughs at something James had said.

“He’s a pain, Lily,” you said, biting the inside of your cheek to hide your smile. “He’s a pain.”

She laughed at your words, though she took note of the smile that’d been on your lips as she followed your gaze to the very one in question. She hadn’t failed to notice the smile he had returned to you after having done a double take, an action that was far less subtle than he’d hoped. He couldn’t help it though. Not with the way you’ve got flowers tucked in your hair and the way the sunshine made you glow. But when he found himself looking for what he felt was far too long he’d stuck his tongue out at you, wiggling his fingers before you rolled your eyes.

“Oh really?” She inquires, her smile evident in her voice, laughing when you narrow your eyes only briefly.

You pluck a flower from the ground and hold it under your nose for a moment, twirling its stem as it sat pinched between your fingers. You shook your head once more.

“Yes, really.”

—

The tent was rather average, having danced dangerously on the edge being too small. Every gust of wind, no matter how gentle, had puffed against its very walls, rattling the zippers and the flap of the door until you’d finally closed it completely. You knew for a fact your friends had to have done this on purpose, at this point there was no way they couldn’t have judged by the smiles they’d done a terrible job at hiding.

It was becoming increasingly obvious when you sat around the campfire that evening when Lily sat with James, and when Remus managed to take up the entirety of the log he’d claimed his own. It left you no other option than to sit next to Sirius, his chin in his palm as he hid his taunting smile behind his fingers.

You could tell by the way their gaze fell upon the two of you more often than not, and by the way James had displayed his emotions a little too obviously each and every time Lily had whispered something undoubtedly about the two of you in his ear. By the very way that no matter how much your group of friends could talk and bounce from topic to topic with ease, the conversation would always, without fail wind up circling back to the two of you. You were becoming painfully aware of the plan made by none other than Lily and Remus.

You should have known they’d do something like this; they’ve done it at the spring ball in sixth year. It was the very first time Hogwarts had done something like that, it was magnificent. However, you thought your date had stood you up as you sat with Lily and Remus, the mysterious date they’d set you up with. Said date had finally showed up by the side of James, and your eyes nearly rolled to the back of your head upon realizing just who they’d set you up with. You’d frowned as you danced with him, accompanied by a few laughs when he twirled you, accompanied by a few eye rolls when he said something witty. The night had been far better than it started, but you hadn’t spoken of it since.

They’d done it at Hogsmeade. They’d told everyone to meet at the Three Broomsticks, having diligently reminded everyone to do so. You and Sirius had been the first ones there, having sat awkwardly across from each other as you sipped your butterbeer. It was quiet until the two of you began to bicker over something too trivial to remember, one smiling when the other wasn’t looking. It took about thirty minutes for you to realize that the rest of the group hadn’t been coming, thirty minutes with Sirius Black.

So yes, you should have known better than to think that they wouldn’t do something like this again.

“Sirius?” His only response is a hum in that moment, a rather dismal one at that. “How do you suppose I’ll get any sleep if you keep huffing and puffing? It’s rather hard to ignore, you know.”

“Maybe that’s the point,” he quips, though you could hear the very smile in his words even without seeing him.

You shake your head at that with a huff of your own, but he could see the shake of your shoulders from your stifled laughter that you had fought so hard to keep at bay. No, he most certainly could not know that he’d been making you laugh, that would be absolutely terrible to your cause for he wouldn’t forget that he’d been able to do something other than make you grumble.

It was quiet for a few moments after that, nothing but the crickets singing just outside the little tent and the whisper of the wind in the trees. He hadn’t huffed anymore after that, and you quickly came to realize that it was in fact not the cause of your restlessness, though a part of you already knew that. You knew as you lay in that tent that you hadn’t hated his company, not in the slightest as much as your protests would beg to differ otherwise on the matter.

“Would you really rather spend the night with him than me right now? Remus?” He asks quietly, curious after a little while, and you didn’t miss the small bit of offense in his tone. It was the most subtle of indicators that he’d been jealous. Not terribly so, but it was enough to have your words stick in his mind for a few lingering moments longer than it should. He found himself to be just a little offended, because while he hadn’t expected this to be the sleeping arrangements, he’d hoped maybe you wouldn’t dread it as much as you seemed to have.

“In this particular moment, yes,” you quip softly, a smile beginning to tug at the corners of your mouth when you hear his displeased huff. “I might even sleep outside with the bears should you continue being jealous.”

“That is not happening,” he says, quick to add more once he realizes just what you’ve said. “And I am not jealous.”

As much as you two may have bickered near incessantly, as much as it may have seemed as though you couldn’t stand each other, he didn’t want you to do such a thing. It was dangerous after all. He knows a flimsy tent would do little to protect you, he knows you’re more than capable with magic, but he’d much rather prefer you weren’t out of his sight. It was safer that way.

“Who’s to say?”

Your back remains to him as you close your eyes briefly, your grin having gone unseen. It’d always been your personal mission to get under his skin ever since he was just a boy who had made it a point to get under yours, and now that he was nearly twenty your goals were no different. Maybe they weren’t as childish and filled with a certain annoyance as they once had been in the very beginning, but the habit was still very much there.

“Y/n/n, could you be serious just once in your life?” He asks.

“You know,” you start, rolling over to lay on your other side. Your breath hitched upon realizing your closeness, his face mere inches from your own and you nearly lose your train of thought as he’d done the same. But you quickly gathered yourself as you swallowed thickly, a smile gracing your lips. “I don’t believe I could if I tried.”

He rolled his eyes as he moved to lay in his back once more, his smile bright as his hair splays across his pillow and you follow suit. Your heart had still been beating wildly in your chest at the closeness you’d shared just seconds earlier, cheeks flushed a soft shade of crimson as you dare not look over at him. He supposed he’s grateful for that because he’s too caught up in looking at you, that same smile on his lips that he knows shouldn’t be there. One look at him and you’d have days, even weeks worth of material to tease him with. But he can’t help it.

He also can’t help it when he laughs, his eyes squeezing shut. “What is it?”

He shakes his head as he continues, your own curious smile forming in your lips as you turn your head and look at him. “I’ve got that bloody ABBA song stuck in my head.”

Your smile widens and a giggle falls past your lips as you return your gaze to the sky, the mingled laughter between the two of you having been something not uncommon as of late. “Well I’ve got that dreaded AC/DC song stuck in mine.”

“It is not dreaded, it’s a classic,” he defends, scoffing lightly as a lingering chuckle accompanies his words.

“And so is mine,” you counter, just as much defense in your voice as he held in his.

“That is absolutely false.”

“It is absolutely not.”

He responded with a heaving sigh, a smile on his lips despite it but he let you win the argument this time because surely there would be more. There would always be more when the two of you were together, but he feels as though he can hardly count on one hand the amount of times you had argued over something serious.

Your shared laughter had since died down to silence amongst everything else, leaving you know choice but to think of how close the two of you were. To think of the fact that never in a million years did you believe you’d ever share a tent with each other. You will admit, only to yourself, that you hadn’t hated it as much as he may have thought. A part of you had found yourself thinking that maybe you’d even miss him had you not been less than a foot away. You thought that a lot lately, unbeknownst to everyone else, or so you thought.

It was then, as you lay beneath the stars in a tent you’d felt was far too small to house two, that you felt his knuckles brush against your own, the very tips of his fingers soon to follow it. The simple touch felt far more electrifying than you had cared to admit to, especially for a simple accident caused from the sheer closeness of your proximity. To be quite honest, you felt rather foolish with the way your heart had skipped a beat and fluttered relentlessly within your chest.

And it was then that you risk a glance to your left the same way he had risked one to his right, eyes meeting in a gaze that’d been shared for the very same reason. You both looked away from the other almost immediately, smiles pulling at your lips as you focus your attention on the sky. No attempts had been made to move.

“Something funny, Y/n/n?” He asks, humor in his tone that only made you smile more than you felt you should have been.

“Yeah,” you start, a soft laugh leaving your lips as your eyes flutter closed. “Are you desperate to hold my hand?”

The laughter he exhaled was immediate at your words, but not out of mocking. “Love, if I wanted to hold your hand I wouldn’t waste my time brushing my fingers over yours.”

That most certainly was a lie, it was absolutely false. As brave as Sirius Black can be, as bold as he always was, he was nervous to hold your hand. He felt as though he was tempting fate already by the mere nudge of his hand over yours. To him, the thought of being in love was both exhilarating and terrifying all the same. To care deeply for someone was in his nature despite his hardships, though he’ll never ever admit it aloud. He didn’t need to.

Sirius could and would risk his life for his friends without a drop of hesitation, he always would. But the idea of slipping his hand in yours, of telling you just how he felt—it was a feat that proved to be difficult. You, you were terrifyingly wonderful and breathtakingly beautiful. You always have a quip to counter his wit, and you would never hesitate to cast a harmless jinx upon him.

He hadn’t realized just how much he wanted to tell you until that very moment, that very day for that matter. With the way you sung that song he swears he dreads every time it plays on the radio. With the way you smiled at him, your cheeks stained a rosy pink when you told him he was a pain. Or the way you’d been beaming as you tucked flowers in your hair with Lily by the lake. He hasn’t known how he made it quite this far without telling you, it was beyond him how he did it.

You weren’t just the girl he’d bicker lightheartedly with on a daily basis over the most trivial of things, always ending in scoffs and eye rolls and narrowed gazes that were more humorous than intended. You weren’t just the one who’d turn his hair every shade of the rainbow given the chance, who could outdo him on the scale of stubborn bravery. You were the girl he found himself following wherever you went, who he found himself thinking of far more often than he told himself he should.

He’s pulled from his thoughts at your soft laughter, turning to lay on his side once more. Before he could ask the reasoning behind it you’d already reached up, your fingers brushing through his hair to grab the lone petal tucked pretty and yellow amongst the strands of black. His gaze never left you, gray and admiring as you tucked his hair behind his ear, the tips of your fingers lingering for just a moment before you pulled them away.

The corner of his mouth quirked up in a smile, his breath fanning warmly over your lips. “Can I kiss you?”

The question was soft yet confident, having had enough of the question merely sitting at the edge of his tongue for days, weeks, months on end. It’d made your heart skip a beat, and you were nearly unsure if you’d heard him correctly. Because Sirius Black, the boy who’d never failed to get under your skin, who never failed to make you roll your eyes or purse your lips, the one you’d seemingly loved all along was asking to kiss you.

The grin on your lips was nothing short of an indication that your words would be that of something jesting. “It depends.”

“Do tell, on what?” He inquires, the glow of the moon illuminating the mischief dancing in your eyes.

You moved to prop yourself up on your elbow, your grin widening a fraction the more you look at him. “Just how long has it been that you’ve wanted to ask me that?”

“Who’s to say I’ve ever given it thought before this very moment?” He counters, though he knows he has a million times. You roll your eyes then, tipping your head back only momentarily before looking at him again.

“Could you be serious just once in your life?” You ask, copying his earlier words.

“I don’t believe I could if I tried.”

You shook your head as your hand settled on his cheek, quieting his further mocking as you pressed your lips on his. His laughter sounded softly against your lips, soon dissolving in favor of finally kissing you, of finally doing just what he’d longed to do for an amount of time he’s far too prideful to admit. He found himself smiling when your hair brushed against his skin, at the feel of your nose nudging his own and your fingertips just barely tangling in his hair.

His hand came up to rest over your own, the action soft and distracted as you parted from him only briefly. Brief enough for you to smile against his lips, for your giddy laughter to puff softly against his skin. Fleeting before he kissed you again—once, twice, three times more.

You pulled away completely then, his hand falling from yours as you swipe the pad of your thumb across the dimple in his chin, your cheeks flushed and his lips kiss swollen and pink. He followed after you for just one more, gray eyes sparkling and smile blissful as you lay back on your side.

“I love you,” he murmurs, “bloody hell I do.”

“Sirius Black,” you say, taking your lip between your teeth as you looked at him. “I love you too.”

With that he tugged your hand gently, pulling you back to his lips in a soft yet lingering kiss, one that made your heart pound and another bout of butterflies to flutter in your stomach as he held your hand to his chest. He’d waited too long to ask you just that, wasted too much time bickering over this, that, and the next thing.

“Our friends will never let us hear the end of this, you know,” he murmurs, forehead resting on yours. “They’ll go on for weeks, love.”

“Let them.”

Canary Glow. ❜

Summary:  Gods are not constant.  Like most, they have a beginning  -  even if not an end.

Chapter: 1.

Chapter trigger warnings:  N/A

Author’s notes:  This is set in a fictional world that I created myself, featuring just a handful of my own cast!  This is just one story I plan to make with these characters, as I figured the best place to start in any narrative is the beginning.  This novel will delve into the creation of Huron as we know it today.

      “What in the blazes is that?!”

    Wide green eyes followed the burning arc in the sky intensely, watching its fluorescent trail shimmer as it rocketed towards the ground;  neon yellow, crackling like electricity, and showing no signs of slowing down.

    The speed of that thing…  it’s incomprehensible!  It looks like it’s going to crash!

    Aldierno watched as his surroundings lit up, a fierce sheen of gold spreading across the treetops as the comet continued to fall.  In a display of primitive fear, the man flung himself onto the ground, arms shielding his head, his face buried into the dirt as he braced for its impact.  It was far too late to run away...  impossible, really, with how close it was.

    The sound of it hitting the ground was unlike anything he’d ever heard--  a crash of thunder so loud that his hands abandoned his head in favour of his ears.  Even then, the noise shook his brain, rattled thoughts around like loose change, and the searing light that followed like a shockwave had his eyes screwing shut, his face pressed tightly into the mud.

    Please, please just let me die quickly.     Whatever this thing is, let it kill me in a single moment.

    Time crawled by like a snail, his body on fire with the knowledge that he would soon be engulfed by pain.

                                                              But it never came.

    After what felt like a lifetime, Aldierno raised his head and squinted.  The woodland was dark once more, an eerie silence smothering him like a quilt.  What just happened?  What did I see? What was that?

    His questions were rewarded with a sudden beam of light shooting high into the sky, breaking the clouds and vanishing into the abyssal black above him.  It was hard to look at, blinding even, but he persisted in trying--  in trying to make sense of anything that he’d witnessed thus far.

    When his world dimmed once more, Aldierno found it in him to stand up.  Aside from mild disorientation and a fiercely fast heartbeat, he had left the situation unscathed.  Knees knocked as he straightened up, heightened senses latching onto anything they could.  The whistling wind;  the breeze weaving through the trees;  the dull scratch of dirt beneath his bare feet.

    He only realised he’d taken a step forward when he found himself closer to the treeline than before.

    What are you doing?  Turn around.  Go back to the house, where it’s safe.

    … but the uncertainty of what had transpired was tantalising.  Perhaps it was the rush of bravado one experienced after surviving something fearsome, or the curiosity that was allegedly responsible for the death of so many cats, but he felt intrigued-- no, compelled--  to press on.

    “To hell with it,”   he muttered through clenched teeth, stalking into the undergrowth before he had the chance to change his mind.  He couldn’t explain it, that cloying need to go forward, but it raged in his head like a war cry.  It saw him filing through the thicket, braving the sharp bite of brambles and the pervasive scratch of nettles without a single complaint.  Even so, the deeper into the dark he went, the more foolish he began to feel.

    And then light.

    Dim, at first.  A pale yellow in the distance, like the very first rays of morn, before it opened up into a pool of liquid sunshine.  As he emerged into a clearing, Aldeirno found his gaze falling to the ground, gaze snagged by an unfamiliar crackle.  It was teeming with some sort of current, grass combed over, frayed ends burnt and fizzling.  Slowly, he inched a toe towards the lip of the undergrowth--  then quickly recoiled when he received a sharp static shock.

    How is that possible?  Grass burns.  I use it in fires all the time.

    A murky shape in the near distance caught his attention.  It looked weathered and strange, composed of old rock and something all too cosmic.  It was simultaneously shimmery and plain, and through a crack did Aldeirno think he saw something molten.  It oozed like lava, its canary glow both beautiful and foreboding.

    Caught between a rock and a hard place, he hovered at the entrance to the clearing for several minutes.  Every so often, he stuck his foot out, then retracted it once more, not keen on the idea of getting shocked again.

    You’re never going to find out what the hell that thing is if you don’t press on.     Maybe I don’t need to know.     Really?

    It should have been no surprise to him that he found himself darting across the clearing without much regard for his sense.  A dozen sharp static shocks wrangled the soles of his feet, his teeth grit as he skidded to a halt in front of the strange stone, surprised by how quickly he’d grown a tolerance to the current.  It was a force of nature, of that he was certain, but it seemed residual at most.  If it wasn’t, I’d absolutely have been fried.  He dropped to his knees, eyes all but bulbous as he raised a trembling hand to touch the foreign mass in front of him.

    It fell apart before he could.

    Like an egg after a bird had emerged from it, its granite walls crumbled to the ground, forming a small pile of rubble beside what could only be described as a ball of light.  Aldierno tilted his head, persistent in trying to grasp exactly what he was seeing.

    There was something dark swimming in the centre of the golden glow;  a nondescript shape that seemed suspended by invisible string.  Slowly, it began to unfurl, and from the light did Aldierno witness a body come into view.  Then arms, then legs, slowly followed by a vague head shape.  The thing was tiny, an inky black blot on a white sheet, and only when two pinprick lights appeared on what he could only assume was its face did the man think to fall back.

    He landed gracelessly on his rear, the corners of his vision swimming.

    “Wh-What are you?!”   he exclaimed, voice wobbling meekly, as if it was going to break at any moment.  He was numb to the current, heart pounding in his chest as he witnessed the shape flicker like static.

    Then, akin to a phoenix, it rose.

    He watched the indiscernible mass float upwards, limbs fanning weightlessly outwards.  It slowly morphed into a more determined shape, its limbs like fine pencil streaks, two tall ears sprouting atop its round head, before it expelled a final pulse of light.  As the energy faded, Aldeirno’s surroundings began to dim once more--  and then the body fell.  The mysterious creature hit the ground with a resounding thup, its still mass resembling a ragdoll that had been hurriedly discarded by a rambunctious child.

    What is this thing…?   Aldierno asked himself as he inched his way closer.  He could taste his pulse, feel it flickering across his tongue like lightning--  and the effect only worsened as he lowered himself to a squat, his tall, lanky frame dwarfing his unknown visitor in moments.  Despite their clear difference in size, the man felt tiny in its presence.  There was something about it that radiated power, power he’d had yet to witness with his own eyes.

    Gingerly, he nudged the body with the very tips of his toes.   “Hello…?”

    But it was no use.  His persistence, though valiant, elicited no response.

     The longer he stared, the deeper the strange thought sank into him.  He felt it first in his mind, then in his soul--  a streak of nonsense so woefully insane that he came to fear it:  I need to take it with me.  He couldn’t describe the desire unfurling in his brain like a bad omen;  the desire to pick the thing up and take it back home, nurse it back to health somehow.  It wasn’t as if he knew much about playing nurse, nor did he feel he was overly altruistic as a person.  Though he would have liked to exercise his good will from time to time, the simple fact was that his land was Godless.  It didn’t pay well to appear weak.

    But this poor thing…  it looks so small, and so defenceless, and it’ll probably get eaten if I leave it alone.

    Your self-preservation is piss-poor.  How have you lasted this long?

    “... damn it,”   he muttered, scooping the creature up and drawing it close to his chest. Though it was unconscious, he felt a strong surge of life spilling from it.  The longer he held it, the deeper the pit of dread in his stomach felt--  as if he’d touched something forbidden, opened his mind to a knowledge that should remain unknown.

    He clung to it regardless.

—    BASICS.  

▸     IS    YOUR    MUSE    TALL    /    SHORT    /    AVERAGE ? A fair bit short, as she stands only at 5′1. She tends to wear wedge shoes though, so oftentimes that elevates her to more of a 5′4 or 5′5 depending on her shoe choice for the day. 

▸      ARE    THEY    OKAY    WITH    THEIR    HEIGHT ? Not really, no. She gets huffy if she’s teased about it, and will likely kick the taller offender in the knees if she’s irritated enough. She finds there are perks to being short though, like sneaking around taller crowds and being able to climb into vents and all that. 

▸      WHAT’S    THEIR    HAIR    LIKE ? Healthy, thick and naturally wavy, dyed mostly violet with some hints of pink and blue. The length of it is pretty long as even with the curls does it still brush along her waist, and suffice it to say, putting it in a ponytail can be a chore in itself. But she’s gotten used to it, at least. 

▸     DO    THEY    SPEND    A    LOT    OF    TIME    ON    THEIR    HAIR     /    GROOMING ? Yes and no. She’s not  exactly vain, but she cares a lot about her hair and making sure it always looks good. She tries not to use too much heat on it for example, preferring to let it air dry. She always has a designated ‘hair day’ at least twice or once a week, so she can spend an hour or two using all the good stuff to keep it healthy. She attempts to bleach the roots only once a year if she can, since that’s pretty much the most damaging thing in her hair routine, although thankfully it seems that she’s stained the majority of her hair enough already that constant touch ups aren’t so much an issue. Beyond that has she also made it a point to dye all of her conditioner purple as well, just to make sure the color is getting replenished with each wash. 

In terms of everything else, she practices good hygiene and cleans up nice, keeps her nails an appropriate length and at the very least, makes sure she looks acceptable. 

What happens after she leaves the house however, tends to be both beyond her control and overall attention. 

▸      DOES   YOUR   MUSE   CARE   ABOUT   THEIR   APPEARANCE   /   WHAT    OTHERS    THINK ? She used to, when she was still in college and still had black hair; when she was still somewhat demure and uncertain and still coming into herself. Of course, a huge part of why she even dyed her hair in the first place - and the reason why she dyed it the shade she did - was in an attempt to break free of those initial insecurities; to break free of caring of what people thought with regards to how she looked. 

Once upon a time would she have hunched into herself and tried to hide with how the more conservative people around her would talk about her hair like it was absolutely garish and totally overdone. Once upon a time was she into the habit of wearing somewhat baggy clothing, shirts that were two sizes too big, conscious again of the way men would look at her frame like she was consciously trying to tease. Once upon a time, she cared. 

Now however, she genuinely couldn’t give two fucks what anyone else could say about her looks. No matter if people might think she’s showing too much or too little, even if they think her hair was too wild and chaotic, and really, as far as they were concerned, she was just asking for attention. As far as she’s concerned however, she’d received about the same amount of criticism and unwanted attention when she didn’t look the way she did now, when she was unhappy and constantly trying to hide herself; so she figures, at this point in her life, she might as well just own it. Now she’s comfortable in her clothes, she’s happy with her hair. She likes the way she looks, and looks like no else as far as she can tell; unique and thriving and loving it. 

And if anyone has a problem with it, it’s not hers to deal with.

—    PREFERENCES.

▸      INDOORS    OR    OUTDOORS ?  both, but she leans towards being outdoors for the most part. ▸      RAIN    OR    SUNSHINE ? both, but she leans towards rain a smidgen more too. ▸     FOREST    OR    BEACH ?   beach. ▸      PRECIOUS    METALS    OR    GEMS ?    gems. ▸     FLOWERS    OR    PERFUMES ?   both, with a mild preference to flowers. ▸     PERSONALITY    OR    APPEARANCE ?   personality. ▸     BEING    ALONE    OR    BEING    IN    A    CROWD ?  alone. ▸     ORDER    OR    ANARCHY ?   she doesn’t trust order all the time, so she leans towards anarchy. ▸      PAINFUL    TRUTHS    OR    WHITE    LIES ?  painful truths. ▸     SCIENCE    OR    MAGIC ?    magic even if she’s terrible at it. ▸      PEACE    OR    CONFLICT ? she wants peace but she knows better then to trust it at face value, so quite often does she choose conflict when the need arises for it. ▸     NIGHT    OR    DAY ?     night. ▸      DUSK    OR    DAWN ?     dusk. ▸   WARMTH    OR    COLD ?     warmth. ▸     MANY   ACQUAINTANCES    OR    A    FEW    CLOSE    FRIENDS ?     few close friends. ▸     READING    OR    PLAYING    A    GAME ?      playing a game. 

—    QUESTIONNAIRE.

▸      WHAT    ARE    SOME    OF    YOUR    MUSE’S    BAD    HABITS ? She has a generally short temper, so quite often does she tend to punch first and then ask questions later. Curse words also tend to be her favorite words, and she can be remarkably stubborn and hard headed when she puts her mind to things, so focused on being independent and trying to figure things out on her own that she just shoves away any offer for help, not thinking of the consequences for when it comes to be too much.

She also likes to shove all of her pain and heartache deep down into an abyss where you can’t find them, so she tends to never deal with them and the problems they will inevitably cause to her slowly fraying sanity. :) 

▸      HAS    YOUR    MUSE    LOST    ANYONE    CLOSE    TO    THEM ?      HOW    HAS    IT    AFFECTED    THEM ?

By death, no, she hasn’t, as all her closest family and friends remain alive and well. She did lose Garry though, and he was the closest to her once upon a time; although it was by her own choice that she lost him, as even though she didn’t necessarily want to make that cut, she knew it was necessary. His absence in her life has had an overall positive effect though, in far too many ways.

Like emotionally and mentally is she now stronger, more independent and comfortable in her own skin, enough to know what she’s actually worth and what she’s actually capable of vs what her shit anxieties used to tell her of the same. She has her freedom without him, to live as normal a life as possible, albeit with a few spots of danger that crop up every once in a while; oftentimes hailing from her initial involvement with him. More then anything however, has she learned to rely on herself - and while this is both good and bad, considering that means she also now refuses to let anyone close enough to take on some of her burdens - I have to say it’s brought her very far from where she used to be. 

She’s better like this. Alone perhaps, but handling it on her terms all the same. 

▸      WHAT    ARE    SOME    FOND    MEMORIES    YOUR    MUSE    HAS ? Moments with her grandmother in France, where she used to give her a single chocolate truffle every day whenever she saw her. Another are these fond moments she had with her dad when she was just a child, curling up on his lap and playing her video games while he’d read his books. She has so many fun memories with Emilia and Alexander, as well - memories where the girls would try to skip town, or skip out on their parents, although Alex himself was usually just tugged along for the ride, even when he knew it was always a bad idea. But he kept the girls out of trouble. Then she has some good memories with Theo too, mainly they were when she’d just gotten back to Shibuya after her time with Garry, and he’d stepped in to help her get set up again.

▸     IS    IT    EASY    FOR    YOUR    MUSE    TO    KILL ? ...yes. It’s simple, and it’s easy, and she can do it without so much as a blink. No hesitation, no apologies, just numb, numb, numb. Although she certainly feels it in the aftermath of things, when the world falls silent and she feels adequately alone. The numbness is still there for the most part, but it slowly starts to fade, coming to war with the quiver of guilt that now crops up too. Often times does she break down from it, a puddle of silent tears in her bathroom while she tries to scrub the blood off her clothes. Always silent, always quiet, even if she wants to scream, even if she’s alone and she knows no one will hear her - she can’t let a single peep out. It just stays stuck inside her chest, locked away and never to see the light of day. 

It’s how she copes. She’d never be able to handle it otherwise. 

▸      WHAT’S    IT    LIKE    WHEN    YOUR    MUSE    BREAKS    DOWN ? It’s absolutely painful, more then anything. Hard to watch, hard to deal with. She breaks down --- slowly. Never coming at a snap, but more like watching her gradually drown instead. She just lets it build up, you see. Lets it build up, slowly strangling her, slowly dimming her vision and her mind, and even though she can feel it coming, she just continues to ignore it. Continues to pretend she’s not fraying at the seams. Until finally does it seem to catch up with her, finally does it sink its hold into her chest - where she comes to realize she genuinely can’t breathe, and all she can feel in her chest is -- absolutely nothing. An abyssal emptiness, with no heart or soul to speak of. Just utterly numb, in a way that it’s genuinely terrifying. Because she doesn’t understand how she could feel so empty. 

And again, will she refuse to speak, refuse to make a single peep, even she’s curled up on the floor and clutching her head, crying and breaking and at risk of tearing her hair out. And she’ll push people away and tell them to leave, gasping behind her tears even as they fall down her cheeks. And she’ll try to hold it back as much as possible, but the moment she does yell - the moment she does scream - it means she’s nearing her final breaking point. It means something / someone is getting through to her, something that she’s using anger to try to counter, anger to try to bluff, but it’s weakness. And need. And an absolute and genuine desire for comfort. 

And if her companion stays with her still even despite her yelling and her rage, she’ll eventually give in, eventually allow them to come close and try to care for her -- even if all it is just a touch. She’ll start to sob and cry in earnest, and likely throw herself into their arms and hug them tight, unable to hold herself back any longer. It is the one moment of weakness she’ll allow herself, and it won’t stop until she’s completely sated. 

▸      IS    YOUR    MUSE    CAPABLE    OF    TRUSTING    SOMEONE    WITH    THEIR    LIFE ? Yes, she’s capable of it. Although it really just does depend on the connection she has with that particular someone. If it’s someone she’s gotten close to, someone that has been with her through thick and thin and has handled her presence in ways she genuinely admires and appreciates, then yes, she would trust them with her life. 

She would need to have that sense of stability from them though, that dependability that allows her to trust that they’ll be there for her whenever, for as much as they are capable of, to be comfortable in knowing they won’t let her down. She’s used to depending on only herself, after all, so someone somehow being able to reinforce that concept for, even when she herself constantly finds means and ways to push it back is a big thing to ask, and even harder to achieve. 

But once she reaches that point, she makes sure to return that devotion tenfold, and there is nothing she wouldn’t trust them with, not the least her life.   

▸      WHAT’S    YOUR    MUSE    LIKE    WHEN    THEY’RE    IN    LOVE ? Soft. She’s very soft when she’s in love. Adoring and affectionate, teasing and playful, both entirely insatiable and supremely content. A Jackie in love is a Jackie unlike any other, and because romance for her is so remarkably rare, I have to say that it makes this side of her all the more precious because of it. Because when she’s in love, it’s like her whole worldview changes. She becomes co-dependent, and they become her priority. And she’s happiest when she’s by their side, for no longer is it just Jackie against the world, but she has someone she can consider her own now, to experience the world with them Together. 

And gradually does she become more comfortable in letting her lover in, no longer pushing them away or being quite so tense, but rather just -- letting her walls down. She lets them see the parts of herself that aren’t so perfect, that aren’t so great, and she places those aspects up in full view for them to see, to decide if they really wanted to keep dealing with her in spite of it all. Not to say that she fully expects them to take her exactly as she is, for better, or for worse, but rather - she just wants them to know what they’re getting into. To understand that she’s not the best, no matter that they might think she is, to understand that she’s a mess, a disaster, and she’s hopeless on a good day, utterly impossible on a bad, and there are no excuses for it - but despite her faults would she still try her best, try for them, so that she could be better. 

To be deserving of them. To be worthy of whatever it is that she puts them through, because she knows it won’t always be easy with her. 

But she’d still like to try to make it so, as much as she can, no matter what.

Love Is For The Foolish (8)

Loki x Asgardian!Reader

Warning: Mild Suggestive Content

<== Previous | Next ==>

Chapter 8: King Loki

Loki awoke to the contrasting feeling of warm flesh against his. Your soft embrace was always ideal for comforting him. It was all the more effective when you were unclad and spent from a night of passionate copulation. He began gently running his fingers through your silken tresses as your arm draped lazily over his torso.

As dawn broke Loki thought only of you. How you had accepted him despite his mischevious reputation, his lies, his history of conquering women... Now you had forgiven him for taking advantage of your powers. 

He was King of Asgard.

Finally, he had claimed that he had been raised to believe was his birthright. As fate would have it his true birthright was similar with only the difference of realms.

You had recklessly accepted his newest and truest form as a frost giant, an abandoned Jotun prince. He had never known it was possible to feel so loved. Sometimes he felt he did not deserve you.

In your slumber, your arm finally fell to your side setting him free.

Loki did not hesitate to immediately guide your arm back onto him. “Thankfully I am a selfish man,” he muttered into your hair simultaneously kissing the top of your head.

You hummed contently cuddling closer into him now only half-asleep. “How am I to get a proper amount of rest when you keep me up so late only to wake me when the sun begins to rise?”

“If it were up to me you would never have a moment’s peace. I’d have you writhing with pleasure every waking moment.”

“How tempting,” you mused all the while your fingers drew the familiar patterns of his Jotun markings onto his chest. You had memorized them by now. “However there are urgent matters to attend to this morning.” 

Loki smirked catching your painful expression when a jolt of pain caught you by surprise upon attempting to stand. He had purposely postponed easing your pain.

You cursed his name but the pain had you voicing his name in almost a seductive moan due to the near-crippling ache that began at your thighs and shot up to your core. By morning Loki would usually have you feeling only a mild discomfort- after all, what was the point of claiming you if no reminder was left.

It had been some time since you were the target of his mischief. He felt you needed to be reminded of not only his love but his essence as well. “How intriguing.” Loki nonchalantly got out of bed with ease using his magic to dress as he made his way around your marital bed. “My queen, goddess and master of darkness, has yet to surpass the basics of healing.”

You scoffed before looking up at him with a smirk. He enjoyed the image of you on your knees a bit too much in your opinion. “Let us see how jovial my King is at the end of the week when he has been denied all carnal pleasures.”

“Is that a threat?”

“It is a promise.” 

You bit down on your bottom lip suppressing the boundless urge to wince as you stood. Your hips were riddled with bruises from an overly zealous husband., bruises you planned to conceal with one of your finest dresses. And although you hated to us magic for such menial tasks you lacked the capacity to physically dress yourself.

Loki sighed giving in to you. “One neither of us would benefit from.” He intended to relieve you of all discomfort from the very beginning. But, not before evoking a final whimper from your lips after having harshly pulled you in by the waist. 

Your grip on his shoulders loosened as you recovered. “Why must you always get a rise out of me?”

“Because I love you,” Loki kissed you. HIs tongue prying your lips open far too in need to give you a sweet loving kiss. “Your voice, the sounds that pass these heavenly lips...” his index and middle finger brushed the plush of your bottom lip before kissing you once more. “Are absolutely sinful.”

“Just as the man who invokes them.”

Everything seemed right in your world until the day you were confronted by Sif with extremely alarming information. “Are all of you in agreement about such blasphemy against your King?”

“With all due respect Lady Y/N-” Hogun stopped when he was elbowed in the gut by Fandrall. His friend reminded him you were no longer to be addressed this way but he did not care to correct himself when they were facing a crisis. Besides, as of late you seemed to be just as content as Loki. They could no longer trust you if you too were benefitting from Thor’s banishment. “The only person worthy to rule with the Allfather in Odinsleep is Prince Thor.”

You did not take kindly to his words or his actions when he stormed off. To some extent Loki’s paranoia was justifiable. He had warned you that some may question his rule. Even going as far to single out Sif and ask that you keep watch of her. “Lady SIf?”

Sif sighed, “Look princess it is time to rid yourself of the bind that blinds you.” There was no doubt you were an honest and powerful person but your loyalty, while a formidable quality, stood to be your greatest flaw. “Your love for Loki shields you from the truth. He may be loyal to you but he is not honest. He has always been jealous of Thor. His  mastery of magic makes him the only one capable of sneaking Frost Giants past Heimdall.”

Eyes shifted as you recoiled in the guilt of her false accusations. It was your magic, your dark seidr, that allowed the Frost Giants undetectable passage. Had you been more careful in not allowing him to venture off with it, had they known it was meant as harmless entertainment for Loki who was bitter about being overlooked. You sighed knowing they would not care to see it your way. To them, Loki’s mischief was nothing short of tactless. "I assure you Lady Sif, I assure all of you,” Your eyes narrowed in on them as a collective as your shadow spread out from under you. The darkness engulfed the entirety of the floor which they stood on keeping their feet planted to the ground unable to move any limbs. “I am not my husband’s marionette. Loki is King whether you agree to it or not, his mother, Queen Frigga entrusted him with the title. If you dare commit treason, Loki will not be the master of magic you must fear.”

Hogun returned when his companions failed to meet him.

Your eyes landed on him, the dark instantly following your line of sight. Going beyond your warning with Hogun by making him kneel. 

Hogun tried to resist it but it was futile. Volstagg and Fandrall shared a look of alarm towards their companion but similarly were unable to ambulate towards him. 

“I’ll have my eyes on you all.”  You turned your back to them before rescinding your shadow and revoking your hold on them. You did not order it but it was without saying that they were dismissed.

Lady Sif was the only one to delay her leave. She was left horrified by your unrelenting loyalty to the god of mischief.  “He refused our request to lift Thor’s banishment.”

You remained unmoved already knowing about their meeting with Loki. Although he did not specify the entirety of the discussion with you- it was enough to know he had his reasons. Personally, you did not agree with his decision. Thor had been nothing but open and kind with you. “May I remind you Odin was the one to banish Thor, not Loki.”

Sif was not one to be silenced. “Do you know where he is?” 

Your head turned slightly so you may glance over your shoulder at the female warrior. 

The action was telling of your response. Although you would never tell her of Loki’s doing you would certainly assert yourself. The lack of denial was also constant with her assessment of you. Despite how enamored you were with Loki, how you had begun to mimic his actions, and now abilities- you were still honest. “You can not lie, your highness.” 

As soon as the throne room doors shut you stomped your foot on the ground with a loud groan. The emotions you had been bottling up finally overcame you. The action caused a small tremor in the palace that everyone felt. Some ran out with worry to question what it was while others simply dismissed it.

“Seems our queen is just as unstable.”

\\\

You had been here many times before, watching the Alfather in such a vulnerable state filled you with question. He always seemed like someone who would never-

Frigga watched you silently look on at Odin. There was clearly something on your mind and she would interrupt those thoughts so you may share with her. “What troubles you, my dear?”

“I suppose I still can not wrap my mind around it all.” For one, you were still unclear about Odinsleep but that was the least of your troubles. Lately, Loki seemed less like himself spending a vast majority of his time secluding himself from you. You got the feeling Loki was not where he said he would be. 

She got up to sit beside you, placing her hand atop yours on your lap she smiled. “Thank you.” When you stood to question she silenced you and continued with her “Thank you for helping Loki through such difficult times. I know it was a lot to ask of you.”

Frigga had only heard good things about you from the maids and guards in passing. You had managed to handle her day to day affairs so she may focus on tending to her husband. 

“I only hope I can do everything half as good as you Allmother. I always knew you did much for the people of Asgard but in my short time as-”

“Queen, do not hesitate on your title.”

You sighed letting all the accumulating stress take its toll. “I hesitate greatly because I do not think I deserve it.”

“I’ve never known you to diminish your worth. What has you questioning yourself?”

You did not want to disclose your meeting with Sif and the warriors three or the fact that they questioned Loki’s rule. Or the more pressing matter- that you were harboring guilt for playing part in Loki’s secret portal.

Thankfully you did not have to. A maid came looking for you at that precise moment providing you with a means to drop the conversation. “Pardon the intrusion Allmother,” the maid curtseyed to Frigga. “But your Highness is urgently needed.”

That was your queue to will all previous troubles from being shown and get back to the task of running a realm. You and Frigga exchanged a knowing look where you promised to visit again. 

Frigga knew it wasn’t right to let you leave like this. She held both your hands in hers offering a few words to calm your ever-growing worries. “I trust you to make your own decisions.”

Her words resonated within you the day Loki froze Heimdall and sent The Destroyer to Midgard. His actions seemed far more extreme than they should have been. 

He had shouted orders for you to be taken away after you continued to argue over his actions.

“Loki stop this!”

Loki sparred a momentary glance in your direction otherwise he remained unmoved atop his throne. “This does not concern you Y/N now listen and go with the guards.”

The guards apologized as they took hold of your arm trying to lead you out. 

You used their own shadows to pin them in place while you stepped past them. Loki wanted you to blindly follow him but you would do no such thing. He had yet to tell you of his trips outside the realm- something told you this was all related.

“If you do not stop The Destroyer- I will!” You whipped your hair back over your shoulders when you turned your back to him. 

The guards were individually released as you passed them by. They dared not so much as look at Loki after witnessing your quarrel. 

Loki slammed his hands down on throne causing a loud bang to echo off the walls. “You will do no such thing!”

Although his outburst did startle you there was no looking back. In fact, you walked faster carelessly grabbing your skirt to the point where you were permanently creasing the beautiful glittering material with your strength. The regal appearance you had been trying to uphold until now was broken. 

Too deep in thought you were unable to react in time when Loki suddenly appeared before you. You stepped on your dress as you crashed into his open arms.

Irritated and annoyed by the oversight your hands lay on his chest pushing him away. “Let go of me!” you demanded but his arms remained restraints around you. He was much stronger than he looked and you much smarter. 

You let your body go limp feigning to accept you had come to a dead-end in your revolt against him. “Why Loki? Why must you go to such extremes?” It was hard however you managed to conjure up some tears.  Preying on your husband’s love for you, you sought his comfort. 

Loki’s hold loosened thinking he had hurt you in his bid to stop you from ruining his plans.

This was your chance and you seized it. You freed your hands, held his face in them to bring him eye level with you. “I need to know,” you pressed your forehead against his in a bid to read his mind. 

HIs mind was vulnerable in this chaotic state. You managed to see what he had done, the lies he told to Thor. His entire trip to Midgard was at your mercy. When you began to see Jotunheim and Laufey he did something he never thought he would do.

Loki stabbed you.

The pain immediately brought you back to face the present Loki with a gasp of pain. You held your side where Loki’s dagger remained. Far worse was the pain you felt in your chest of betrayal. “Loki-”

Loki was just as shocked by his actions.

The pain was like nothing you had ever felt before. You had been stabbed at your side yet the pain felt as if it originated elsewhere. Where you could not say. You cursed your inability to heal yourself once again when you felt faint.

Loki caught you before you could fall. He held you tightly as he teleported you to your bed. There he worked in deafening silence to heal you.

Through half-lidded eyes, you managed to see the conflict of panic and anger on your raven-haired King’s face. You felt the roughness of his dry lips graze your cheek and forehead multiple times. His bottom lip had been victim to his anger transforming his once soft lips.

He was clearly remorseful of his actions but you did not doubt that part of him felt successful. He had healed you, put you out of danger’s way yet you felt drained of all energy.

“Rest my Queen,” Loki placed a final kiss to your velvety lips. The memory of having purposely inflicted pain upon the woman he loved would haunt him for the rest of his life. However, he had managed to stop you from running towards danger. 

The Jotuns and Laufey were due to arrive soon as per Loki’s plans, he had to make sure you were safe. He had to keep you away from them or anyone who would harm you. He knew how hypocritical a thought it was yet he stood by it. 

“You’ll be safe here.”

Adversarial's Guide To Writing Pain (Based On Unfortunate Personal Experiences)

Hey folks! I’ve seen a few posts floating around discussing how to write different forms of pain in fiction and decided to create a reference sheet for people trying to write realistic pain based on my own personal, varied, and kind of unfortunate experiences with various types of illness and injury! It’s important to note that all of the experiences I’m describing are specific to me individually and to note that different people or different circumstances could result in distinct experiences. Remember, kids: this guide is not definitive.

With that out of the way, let’s get describing!

HEAT STROKE:

Starts out feeling like you’re just overheating-- lots of sweating, skin feeling hot, et cetera. As time goes on, you begin to sweat more (you start getting sweat in your eyes, which stings and limits vision). Skin starts feeling clammy to the touch and eventually slightly numb. Dehydration symptoms will start kicking in as your body loses water. Breathing feels more difficult, vision starts blurring at the edges. Muscle fatigue will start to set in as your vision starts going. Fainting may occur as symptoms intensify, as well as dehydration headaches. Recovery from heatstroke is mostly about rehydrating and staying somewhere cool, so symptoms fade over the course of 10-30 minutes but leave muscle fatigue and exhaustion-- I immediately want to sleep once my body cools down a little.

HYPOTHERMIA (COLD AIR):

Initial feelings are mostly stinging on any exposed skin, because very cold air hurts. Shivering sets in immediately and can intensify as time goes on. Feelings of cold begin at the extremities and work their way towards the torso, with the most intense cold being felt at the fingers, toes, ears (if exposed) and tip of the nose. Skin will lose feeling quickly if exposed to air and will gradually become more numb over time. If you touch your fingertips/ears/nose to your palm, the skin will feel unnaturally cold. Eventually, muscular tension will kick in and it will become hard to achieve full range of motion in limbs, with the worst effects of this being evident in the fingers. Around the time when flexing my fingers became impossible, I felt an extreme burning sensation in my hands and, to a lesser extent, my toes. The pain gets progressively worse and outstrips all of the bodily discomforts from the cold as the rest of the body goes numb. Shaking stops as the body tries to conserve energy. Focusing becomes difficult because the hand pain is so intense. Even after getting somewhere warm, hand pain persists and joint motion is difficult at best. Fatigue kicks in around the time when hand pain becomes distracting. 

HYPOTHERMIA (COLD WATER):

While in the water, sensations tend to transition from coldness to numbness within a few minutes. Shaking sets in early, intensifies progressively, and finally gives out and leave the body with muscle fatigue. After exiting the water, shaking and coldness in the extremities persists regardless of temperature. Extremities may look pale or bluish. Mental fog is present and vision can get cloudy at the edges. Lukewarm water feels like it is boiling. The usual treatment for this form of hypothermia is a bath in warm water, but if this isn’t an option, symptoms can persist for several hours after-- I personally didn’t stop shaking or feeling cold for several hours. Exhaustion ensues after a few hours due to the energy spent on shaking. Once my body came back up to temperature, I felt like I was overheating for a few minutes until I readjusted to it. 

ALTITUDE SICKNESS:

Altitude sickness can have a varying range of effects based on the change in elevation and the red blood cell count in your body, so I’m going to just list off the symptoms I experienced and you can generally assume that they are worse if the change in elevation is larger and get better over the course of 2-5 days:

Pain in extremities/difficulty moving fingers and toes (can range from mild to severe)

Difficulty catching breath/feelings of choking/feelings of lungs not expanding far enough

Difficulty sleeping (I kept waking up to gasp for air)

Decreased muscular endurance

Dizziness/lightheadedness/fainting (especially when standing up or performing physical activity)

Burning feeling in lungs

STARVATION (FASTING):

The distinction between fasting with water and fasting without water shouldn’t be disregarded-- it is considerably easier to fast if you are able to drink, even a little. The beginning of a fast is usually not particularly uncomfortable, with discomfort mounting as the day/days goes on. I personally have issues with headaches due to lack of caffeine during fasts. After around 8-12 hours, discomfort due to dehydration begins to kick in if no water is being consumed, which can take the form of throat burning, dizziness, and headaches. Stomach pain/hunger kicks in at around 12-16 hours, but this is very dependent on prior eating habits-- if I have been regularly eating in the weeks before fasting, I get hungry sooner, but transitioning into fasting after averaging a meal a day is easier and comes with fewer hunger pains. Physical activity quickly becomes draining and exhaustion and intensifying headache become harder to ignore over time. Fatigue kicks in after about 18 hours. Blood pressure drops lead to dizziness and vision loss whenever I stand up, but I know this doesn’t apply to most people. Eating or drinking after a fast is often nauseating, especially if food or water are consumed quickly. 

STARVATION (MINIMAL FOOD INTAKE):

Minimal food intake over an extended period of time (a week or longer) comes with its own set of adverse physical effects distinct from that of a full fast. Dizziness, vision blurring, full-body fatigue, muscle soreness, and exhaustion all intensify as time goes on. Stomach shrinkage happens in under a week and means that feelings of hunger are less common and that it takes less food to feel full, which can eventually lead to an uncomfortable sensation when eating where a person feels simultaneously full and hungry. Over time, complex foods (things with lots of spices/meats/bitter vegetables) become painful to digest and nausea becomes constant. Fainting spells and difficulty catching breath also occur (see below for details). Trying to go back to a normal eating pattern after long-term minimal food intake is physically painful and can take months to years. 

FAINTING/DIZZY SPELLS:

Dizzy spells usually come up while either standing up after spending a long time sitting/laying down or when performing physical activity. Vision will blur at the edges, become fuzzy, or fade entirely to grey/black. Dizziness or the feeling of the world spinning will then ensue, often followed by the muscles in the legs suddenly giving out. Consciousness is retained through a dizzy spell.

Fainting often begins similarly to a dizzy spell, but will always have full vision loss. If your head hits the ground, you will usually hear the sound of it before feeling the pain. If the faint is under a minute in length, it will feel like 1-2 seconds have passed. Once consciousness is regained, vision takes a couple of seconds to clear. I have found that the time between consciousness returning and vision clearing is generally the time when I register I have fainted and also the time when any pain incurred during the faint hits me. 

EXTREME FEVER (104F+):

The primary feeling associated with high fever is extreme fatigue. Alternating hot/cold spells lasting 30 seconds to a minute each are common-- during the hot spells, the skin feels like it is burning and during the cold spells, shaking ensues. I spent a lot of time burying myself in blankets and then pushing them off again as the cold spell changed to a hot spell. Exhaustion leads to near-constant dozing, with mild hallucinations and fever dreams being common. Sweating, clamminess, and slight numbness of the skin are all constant. Sleeping is difficult to impossible. Feels kind of like extreme sleep deprivation but with more body pains. 

EXTREME SLEEP DEPRIVATION:

Assume that the longer sleep deprivation lasts, the worse processing time will get and the easier it is to fall asleep in less hospitable locations. Here is my usual timeline for sleep deprivation for sleeping 2 hours or less per 24:

20-24 hours -- initial headache kicks in, vision begins to blur

30 hours -- muscle fatigue hit and nausea hit, dizziness begins 

38-40 hours -- dizziness intensifies, headache is constant and painful, occasionally will fall asleep for 2-3 seconds while doing something else

50-52 hours -- from this point forward, nausea can become dry heaving

60 hours -- mild hallucinations begin appearing, headache has intensified to a migraine, the walls are moving

70 hours -- hallucinations begin to intensify, falling asleep for 10-12 seconds in the middle of tasks or while walking

Note that sleeping after extreme sleep deprivation will not fix all of the symptoms of sleep deprivation-- a good rule of thumb for remaining sleep symptoms is to remove x3 the number of hours spent sleeping from the time spent awake (e.g. if you were awake for 60 hours and slept for 10, you would wake up with muscle fatigue and dizziness typical of 30 hours of sleep deprivation).

ASPHYXIATION:

If the airway is not entirely blocked, it is possible to feel a whistling feeling as air enters and leaves the lungs. If the airway is entirely blocked, there is a feeling of tensing and relaxing in the chest as your lungs try to create suction and pull in air. There is a constant underlying panic that intensifies the longer you go without air. After about fifteen seconds, vision starts blurring at the edges and extremities feel like they’re buzzing. As time goes on, the buzzing feeling extends up the arms and legs and leads to full-body tingling as vision fades out. Fainting is common here. After either waking up from the faint or having the airway become unobstructed, the lungs will expand as much as possible and deep breaths/gasping ensue. Sometimes, this causes slight chest pain. 

Some general considerations for writing any sort of illness or injury:

All pain symptoms compound. If you are experiencing heat stroke while fasting, the resulting discomfort of the heat stroke and the fasting will both be much worse than if you were experiencing either on their own

 My usual rule  for writing is that pain and illness increase quadratically-- two sets of symptoms = four times the suffering, three sets of symptoms = nine times the suffering, etc 

Any sort of pain or illness recovery will be characterized by exhaustion and hunger. Your body needs sleep and food to heal itself, so assume that any recovery from injury will feature a tired and hungry character

If you are writing a fantasy illness or injury, you can probably assume that fatigue, muscle soreness, and headache will be symptoms. They are symptoms of basically everything 

Keep in mind that a character who experiences any sort of pain repeatedly will likely be able to handle it with more grace than someone who is experiencing it for the first time. Fainting for the sixth time is considerably less stressful than fainting for the first, because you generally know what to expect from the experience

Feel free to reblog this guide with your own reference descriptions of pain or to message me if you have any questions about describing the pain referenced here! Happy writing!

Ilandreline - Fun in the Sun

(( The Call - A Compound Beginning - Just One Cookie - Soul Food ))

Her limbs felt too heavy, her tongue too large for her mouth.  There was a mild sensation of having been sunburnt over her entire body -- kind of weird, that, given how she never went outside remotely close to naked -- but it probably wasn't life-threatening.  She was very, very thirsty, though.  "Water?"  Even croaking a single word was painful.  Hopefully there was someone around to hear.

For the moment, the only sounds Ila experienced were the dull roar of nothing, like the aftermath of being too close to an explosion.  Again, probably not life-threatening; she knew that sort of thing happened when you were certain kinds of unhealthy.  There was no doubt in her mind that she was in a state of dubious health after her long trip.  She was still piecing memories back together, but the muscle aches suggested she'd been overworking herself for days, possibly weeks.  "Fuhhnnng taimlayshn."  The words weren't quite as intended.  Close enough.

Something was in her mouth then.  Maybe a finger?  Hopefully not a dirty one.  Then a little liquid happened instead.  Water?  Water!  Or near-water; whatever it was felt like a cool drink but also burned all the way down.  Not like alcohol, either, like… cinnamon syrup?  Was that a thing?  She flinched as she swallowed, but the expression was hidden behind her goggles.

"-s that?"  Sound returned suddenly, crystallizing from the static.  "Are you still with us, mortal?  Can you hear me?"

Ilandreline forced her eyes open to slits.  The sky was overhead, viciously bright.  "Fuhhh," she growled, more by reflex than intention.  Her throat hurt, but speech was easier.  Whatever they'd given her was apparently helping.  "I… hear you.  Not dead.  Yet."  Was that a sigh of relief?  And was that some kind of whistling hoot?  Maybe her hearing wasn't totally back.

"Very good.  You did not arrive as expected.  We were very worried, especially as the darkness you emerged from continues to cling to your soul in… unusual ways."  The speaker had a lovely voice, rich and resonant and crystal-delicate.  "You were very lucky to arrive here at all.  How you even survived your journey… that is a tale I would be most interested to hear."

While her eyes slowly adjusted to the constant pain of ambient light, Ila made them focus on the speaker.  They -- she? -- was surprisingly blue, though otherwise humanoid if one ignored the bird wings.  She was wearing white and gold, both too bright to look directly at, in what appeared to be something she'd once heard described as a chiton.  Maybe.  Her knowledge of history was very good for a Glimmerbow child, but they were on the whole not great with the subject since most of their books were centuries out of date or first translations from other tongues.

"Luck," she forced out as her answer.  It wasn't even a lie.  "Nearly… didn't."  Something about all this brilliance made her suspect she shouldn't mention how much blood had been involved.  Or how much hadn't been her own.

She could see the drink now, tilted her head a bit to make it easier on her caretaker.  Whatever it was smelled… antiseptic.  Like viciously unforgiving essence of pine shoved into pure ethanol.  That explained the burning, at least.  Didn't clarify how or why she might actually feel better for having consumed it, but she'd settle for any answers.

After choking down the molten-gold elixir and weathering the unpleasantness of its effects, Ilandreline exhaled slowly.  Time to ask questions.  Almost time, rather; first she had to sit up.  Spots flared through her vision as she raised her head, even more when she propped herself up on her forearms.

"Don't-!"

She ignored the alarm, forcing her body increasingly upright until she was more or less sitting.  It still took both arms to stay there, but she could feel sensation returning to her fingertips.  Good enough.  "Thank you for… helping me."  That was a polite way to start, wasn't it?  "Would you mind telling me where I am, though?"

Shock registered on the azure face.  "You… you're in Bastion.  Home of the sworn and dedicated.  Realm of the Kyrian."  Something about Ila's expression must have shown her lack of understanding, because the winged woman rushed on.  "This is where souls go who will defend the Way and the Purpose, and shepherd others along their path to ascension."

"Uh.  Okay then."  Whatever that meant, it sounded very important to this blue person.  It also sounded like the opposite of a fun way to spend an afterlife.  "What if I don't know what any of that means?  Is that going to be a problem with my… being here?"

"Of course not."  She passed Ilandreline a fist-sized orange-skinned fruit.  "Here, if you can sit, you can eat.  Purian will restore what ambroria dew does not."

The spheroid looked good, but it tickled her nostrils with the faint scents of something left too long.  Slightly rotten, perhaps.  It wouldn't do to offend her host, though, especially when she'd arrived unannounced and mostly dead.  "Maybe… tell me about you and this, uh, Bastion stuff while I eat?"

"Oh, of course.  I am Trenasophe, a forgelite of the Kyrian."  She paused.  "Right, you don't know what that means.  I forget what it was like to be newly arrived here, for I've spent so long emptying myself of all that kept me bound.  Please, though, help yourself to food and drink while I explain."

Ilandreline has little interest in the goods on offer, though she forced herself to consume them.  Starving to death was not going to help anyone, even if having her insides lightly seared and filled with rotten fruit wasn't very fun.  Hopefully there were other dishes somewhere.  Meat would be good, even better if it wasn’t spoiled.

“The Kyrian are souls who serve the order of the Shadowlands and preserve it against those that would disrupt it.  This realm, Bastion, is where we live.  It is here we guide new aspirants on their journey to become what they were meant to be.  The way is rarely easy or swift, but little of value ever is.

“As a forgelite, my purpose is to build and maintain.  The things that surround, shelter, and guard us are not eternal, but with our efforts they will appear so for eternity.  We create and preserve, and what has been broken we seek to repair.  All things have their place in the Purpose, and it is the forgelites who guide them into shape.”

In an effort to ignore the protestations of her stomach, the elf gave these philosophical ramblings more attention than she normally would.  It didn’t make sense in the slightest, but again -- she was a guest.  Saying the whole system sounded like a load of post-processing guano would be the pinnacle of rudeness; she restrained herself to merely thinking it very loudly.  Perhaps the subject could be changed to something more interesting?  “I know some things about building, too.  What kind of stuff do you make?  Any fun machines?”

If she’d been worried there was no emotion among these creatures, that question put her concerns to rest.  Trenasophe’s lips turned up, parting into a grin.   The brightness of her teeth was only matched by the gleam in her eyes.  “I make everything,” she said with a breathlessness Ila could appreciate.  “I have learned what I did not already know and shed the bad habits learned in life.  From the most massive work of stone to clockwork so delicate I cannot hold the components in my own hands, I do it all.  Which is not to say that I have mastered them yet -- there is none among us who can match the Forgelite Prime -- but perhaps someday I will, if that is how I am allowed to serve.  Is that then why you are here?  You have come to trade your knowledge for ours?”

It was a very convenient answer.  She probably should have gone for it.  “Actually, no, I’m here because this is where the road I was on threw me out.  But that sure sounds like fun.  Maybe you can teach me anyway?”

“You… did not know where you would arrive?”

Ila laughed, immediately regretting it as the rawness of her throat flared up.  “I didn’t even know if I would arrive, much less where.  All I knew was I had a pretty good idea I could get to the Shadowlands if I traveled a certain way.  Pretty glad it worked, honestly, because otherwise I’d probably be dead.”

The Kyrian blinked twice.  “If you did not know that you would make it, nor did you know your likely destination, why did you come at all?  How does this fit in with your… purpose?”

“Oh, you know, normal mortal reasons.  My grandmother was concerned about the hole in the sky on our home plane, wanted to make sure the multiverse wasn’t unraveling.  She can’t really travel these days, so she sent me.”  She smugly bit into a new purian without thinking.  Not shrieking as she swallowed took all the effort she could muster.  Doing her best to ignore the sandpaper in her throat, Ilandreline forced a smile.  “We knew there was a thinness in one of the near-planes that had contact with the Shadowlands, so it was just a matter of getting to the right part and, you know, poking a little hole through.”

Trenasophe’s brow furrowed.  “You arrived through the remnants of a planar tear from one of the most devastating assaults Bastion has ever witnessed.  Some of our greatest still bear scars from that time.  How did you survive passing through such a place?”

Shit.  Okay, time to… not lie without being too honest, right?  “It… was pretty much empty when I went through.  Didn’t see a single living thing other than myself the whole time, unless you count the blood-plants.”

“Blood-plants?”

“Yeah, red spiky things, like an aloe, but they’re full of some kind of blood jelly.  They’re not good for much except hurting yourself.”

“I… see.”  She clearly did not, and Ila had no interest in pressing her about the fib.  “How long did your journey take?  You seemed close to death when you emerged.”

She shrugged.  “No idea.  Time doesn’t work right in that place.  I thought I had enough food and water for, like, a week?  Ran out of food real fast, then water a little later, and am not exactly sure I slept other than that one time with the cookie.”

Again the Kyrian made a noise of acknowledgement without understanding.  Ilandreline hurried on before too much thinking happened.  “Anyway, thanks for helping me out.  Really appreciate it, you know, and I’d love to talk about building things just as soon as I pass out for, I don’t know, a month.”

That much Trenasophe did understand.  She smiled, rested a large hand on the elf’s shoulder.  “Yes, rest seems quite reasonable, even if your estimate of the duration is clear hyperbole.  My steward and I shall watch over you, ensure your needs are met.  All I ask in return at this moment is a name to call you by.”

“Vondariel,” she said with a smile.  Nobody outside her family knew her sister’s name -- well, maybe Miss Winford did, but good luck getting anything from her -- so it seemed a safe one to steal.  “But you can call me Von if that’s easier.”

A nod.  “Very well, Von.  Sleep in peace, knowing you are safe at last.  I look forward to helping you achieve your purpose.”

Nothing ominous about that…  Ilandreline’s eyes closed against the awful brilliance, her recuperating body descending into unconsciousness as soon as it was horizontal.

Bacterial Vaginosis Before Period Fabulous Diy Ideas

Take a teaspoonful of live bacteria is more, women who make use of antibiotics for treating bacterial vaginosis.They are not safe: the ones they say have bar codes in it, then it is much thicker and resembles cottage cheese.The vaginal discharge that maybe prescribed to treat BV is a two-fold process.If antibiotics are known to report faster and then further diluting it with care.

This alkaline environment prevails, harmful bacteria starts growing.This can be helpful for maintaining the number of of unhealthy bacterial in the vagina?The leaves and the smell do not cause any harmful side effects.The fish-like smell that ordinarily comes with these toxins.Unless your one of the infection largely remains untouched, the chances of having conditions that have obvious symptoms.
