Note

Could we perhaps get hcs for the main cast (+ finis and Sholmes) as to what they would do with a s/o on valentines day? (I have ordered release date delivery for Wintertide Miracles and have asserted that Van Helsing is going to be my valentine)

Valentines headcanons!

First, I am terribly sorry for the tardiness of my response! It is completely mod Apostle’s fault, and she humbly asks for forgiveness. I was away at a convention this weekend and underestimated how little time I would have before I left. Love doesn’t go out of date, I hope??

Mod Nautilus offers sweet love notes, while Mod Apostle’s are ficlets based on a theme of being separated on Valentine’s Day... with happy endings!

We hope you enjoy! We’ll see you again around the beginning of March! Until then have fun with Wintertide Miracles! ❄️

They are behind the cut for length....

LUPIN:

“I’m so glad you accepted my Valentine’s Day invitation, mon trésor! You look so excited, have you been wondering what sorts of adventures I have in store for you? Haha, calm down, calm down! There will be many surprises for the two of us.

Hmm… how does an invitation to a masque sound? I find that nobles are much more fun when they’re masked, it gives us glimpses of the true selves that they usually hide behind their reputations.

Ahaha, what’s with that expression? You want to know if I have something mischievous up my sleeve? My dear, who do you think you’re speaking with? Oh, but please don’t worry. Tonight, all eyes will be on you, and only you.”

****

Lupin planned for the day for weeks. He made all his lover’s favorite treats, made reservations at her favorite restaurant and bought romantic gifts. So when the day came and his lover needed to be away from home on Valentine’s Day, he was supremely disappointed. He didn’t want to make her feel bad, so he hid his feelings and told her they would celebrate when she come back, but Arsene Lupin, Gentleman Thief, couldn’t let his lover be alone on Valentines Day!

He saw her off with a kiss and a smile, asked Impey to use the ornithopter, loaded it up with all of his gifts, and headed to her destination. A little breaking and entering later, he snuck into her room...

He lit his rose-scented candles, put his champagne on a tray by the bed, donned his new red silk robe and arranged himself seductively on the bed to wait.

He heard the door open a few minutes later. His lover took in the sight of Lupin’s roguish grin, temptingly open robe, and champagne and laughed with relief, “I knew I could count on you.”

Lupin was confused for a moment, but then his lover took off her coat...

The gift he bought for her- the very one he couldn’t find that morning- adorned her body most enticingly.

“Were you looking for this?” she said with a giggle, “I didn’t think you bought it for yourself...” she looked a little ashamed, “I am sorry... but... I hoped you would come. I would have felt silly wearing this to return to an empty room.”

Lupin gave his most winning grin, “Never fear, my dear. I would never allow my lover to sleep alone on Valentine’s Day.” he said warmly, and kissed her until she melted in his arms.

........

VAN:

“I’m glad you could make it. Hm? Why do I…? No, I’m not unhappy to see you, you should know better than that. I just had planned to cook a nice dinner for the two of us, but Lupin and the others… it turns out that they made dinner reservations for us.

… It’s at the Reform Club, one of the most exclusive locations in all of London. Lupin said that the Count had to go to a lot of trouble to get us access. I don’t know why they went to all of that trouble, I wanted to… hm? You look rather happy. What, you want me to relax tonight? Heh… I always have trouble saying no to that smile of yours. All right, then. But don’t worry, later on I’ll be sure to spoil you.

At that time… would you prefer chocolate or vanilla?”

****

Van hated to see the disappointment on his lover’s face when he told her he would need to travel on Valentine’s Day, but he could not shirk his duties to Delacroix. They shared a tearful kiss at the door before he left, and he promised to celebrate as soon as he came back, but he knew it wasn’t the same. He had forgotten such sentiment for a long time, but now even he recognized the importance of observing traditions together.

He finished his duties for the day and brooded over his lover being alone... it was wrong. No, he couldn’t let this happen. What kind of lover would he be to do something like that? He stood up.

“Hey, Helsing! Why are you making that face? Don’t tell me you and your sweetie are fighting again!”

He glared at the young king, “We don’t fight...”

“Well you must be if you’re here on Valentine’s Day looking like that! Or did you forget?!” he looked horrified.

Van berated himself silently, even the child king knew it was wrong to leave a lover on Valentine’s Day, “I didn’t forget. It was my duty to be here.” he muttered, “But now I—

“Don’t be stupid, Helsing. Go right now! Take the automobile. Maybe you can still make it back before midnight!”

...

His watch read 11:55pm when he squealed up the driveway. He vaulted out of the car and crashed through the door.

His lover ran out of the living room in a white cotton gown, hair loose around her shoulders. He felt starved of the sight, though he had only been gone for two days. He pulled her in his arms and kissed her until they were both breathless.

“Happy Valentine’s Day.” he said between kisses, “I am... sorry...” he kissed her again, “to have left...” he lifted her in his arms and held her tightly against his chest, “Tell me, “ he undid the ribbons on her delicate gown, and kissed her throat. She made a little sigh of pleasure, “Tell me how I can make it up to you...”

She whispered her desire in his ear.

He felt his face warm at her suggestion, and smiled back at her. If that was his penance, perhaps he should misbehave more often.

......

FRAN:

“Oh, you’re here! I’m so glad. The tests had gone well, but Sisi has a mind of his own at times… I wasn’t sure he’d follow the scent to deliver your invitation. Huh, the costume? Y-Yes, I put it together… I’m glad you thought it was cute.

Ah, I hope you like the flowers! I know roses are traditional, but I just couldn’t decide… so I also got you a daisy bouquet and a tulip bouquet. I thought they’d make a nice backdrop. I made some sandwiches for us, they aren’t fancy but I asked for Impey’s help so they should be delicious.

E-Eh? Feed me? Haha, that’s really… really cute of you. All right, but only if I can do the same. Hehe, okay, now… say ‘ahhh’!”

****

Fran hated that he needed to be away from home on Valentine’s Day, but he knew the conference was too important to miss. His lover encouraged him vigorously to go, but he still felt guilty about leaving.

Which is how he found himself coming home with the basket of kittens.

He often worked late or needed to attend lectures. He hated to think of his lover all alone and hoped the kittens would keep her company.

A tiny paw darted out and grabbed his finger.

“Ow!” he yelped, nearly dropping the basket.

The rest of the kittens joined the game and leapt out of the basket to climb up his chest and up to his shoulders, knocking his glasses askew and getting tangled in his hair while he yelped from being scratched with their sharp little claws. He desperately tried to get them to go back in the basket.... just as his lover opened the door to the house to see him covered with kittens.

She stared at him for a moment. A bemused expression on her face, and burst out laughing.

“Happy Valentine— Woah...!” Fran cried as his lover pulled him into her arms, kittens and all. Half the kittens leapt from his shoulder to hers. One still dangled from his coat.

She kissed him, “Welcome home... all of you!” she said, still giggling, “I love you, and I love our new family members.”

.....

IMPEY:

“Okay, my cute little engine, get ready to take my honey and I on the best Valentine’s Day date ever! I thought this would be fun, you know? Taking a nice drive out into the countryside. The sun is just beginning to dip, so we’ll be able to watch the sunset together and then…! Yes! Then we can go stargazing! Ahh, to see the stars reflected in my lover’s eyes, it’ll be like a dream!

Cold? Well, yeah, I guess it is February… but Mr. Impey thought of everything! Ta-daaaa! Check out these portable heating pads I made! Oh, don’t worry, I tested them a lot… got burned a lot, too, but hey! All’s well that ends well, right? E-Ehh… what’s with that expression… okay, okay! I have blankets, too! We’ll just have to scooch up real close-like together. … Ehehe, that might be even better. Waah, Impey, you’re a genius!

Hm? You saw me… working on the Ornithoper earlier? Yeah, I thought at first that a date above the clouds would be fun, but… I realized it would be too dangerous. Hahaha, not because of the Ornithoper, but because… honey, I don’t think I’ll be able to keep my hands off of you tonight. Pulling over is much easier than maneuvering an emergency love landing! Ahaha, your blushing so cute! But, there’s no need to be embarrassed… tonight, the only one watching us will be the moon.

****

“I’ll be back as soon as I can!” Impey declared confidently when he left two days ago. But there he was with a busted engine helplessly waiting for the replacement for the broken part he needed to be delivered.

He felt unaccustomedly depressed. He couldn’t believe he was leaving his precious angel alone on this most important day. He knew she would understand. She was a smart and resilient girl. He would make it up to her at length later, but he never wanted to disappoint her. He wanted to always be there to make her smile, always wake up with her tucked in his arms on special days. He certainly never wanted to leave her alone like this.

But there he was, miles away from the nearest train station with a busted motor and no way to get home.

He gazed up at the moon wistfully, thinking of all the nights they spend curled up under blankets looking at the moon and making plans... making love, too. It was the best time in his life.

He squinted up at the moon... was that a new crater? No... it was moving. He could hear a familiar high-pitched buzzing....

He jumped up from the hood of the car and stared at the sky in shock.

The ornithopter was coming.

His heart leapt. The Ornithopter was coming! That meant—!!

The ornithopter circled the clearing where he stood. He jumped and waved enthusiastically. The little aircraft flashed its lights and descended to land next to him. The door was flung open and his beautiful angel of the sky leapt out and into his arms, wrapping her arms around him while he laughed, “My honey came to the rescue! But that’s not fair! It is the noble knight that must rescue his princess!”

“Nonsense!” she snorted, “We don’t live in the dark ages.” she kissed him soundly, “I couldn’t let my hapless prince lie alone in a field on Valentine’s Day!” she held up the blankets she brought.

He grinned as brightly as the moon itself, “I am in your debt, Princess!” he gave her a suggestive wink, “Now what would you like for your reward, eh?”

She kissed him fiercely, “I can think of a few good ways for you to repay me.”

....

SAINT:

“I’m taking off the blindfold now. Hehe, were you able to figure out where I took you? Yes, I thought it would be a nice surprise… oh, tonight they aren’t performing any operas or ballet… tonight is something very special.

I remembered how fondly you were looking at my antique collection, and I thought it might be fun for us to visit an auction together. These auctions are usually so crowded, though, so I arranged for us to have a private viewing the night before. This entire theater is just for the two of us tonight, our own antique gallery. And, my dearest, if you desire anything you see… it’s yours. Whether it’s a few items or the entire show, I will make sure you’re able to start your own collection here tonight.

After that, I was thinking the two of us could go on a cruise- oh, you don’t have to worry about packing. I’ve ensured that everything you need has already been loaded onto the ship. Please forgive my selfishness, but the last time I was invited to an auction cruise, things didn’t go exactly as planned… haha, you understand, right?

Well then, beloved, the night is ours. Let’s dedicate it to our love of art… and our love for each other.”

****

She dropped her suitcase on the bedside table and dropped herself on the bed. She had been away too long. She didn’t think she could bear another lonely night. She knew Saint felt the same way. Sometimes she could feel his emotions from far away like the touch of ghostly fingers caressing her face. She sighed and flipped open her suitcase—

There, on top, was a letter.

She gazed at the familiar stationary, Saint‘s exquisite handwriting spelling out her name. She breathed in the faint scent of white flowers that was her beloved’s signature.

The only trouble was that she had been traveling for days. There was no such letter in her case.

Trembling, she opened the envelope—

“Happy Valentine’s Day, my beloved lady,

It pains me to apart today of all days, even if it is unavoidable. I miss you tonight. Do you have all you need on your travels? Do my words warm your heart enough to endure this absence?”

No... she thought. I need so much more.

“I cannot say the same. I can still feel the shape of you beside me in this bed, your fragrance on my pillow, your sweetness on my tongue. I need all of you here with me always. I wanted to leave you roses on your pillow, kisses on your lips, share tea with you in the morning, read to you in the afternoon. I want to take you places tonight that you’ve never seen. I want to see the wonder in your eyes. I want to hear you gasp with delight. I am a terribly selfish man, as you know too well, but tell me your desires and I will fulfill them. Your pleasure is mine also.”

How many times had he told her that? How many times had they done those things? How many times had she fallen asleep with a smile on her face, her body and soul perfectly content in every way? She kept reading...

“Close your eyes for me. Hear my voice. I am touching you now, my fingers on your lips. Now part them for me, yes... like that. Taste this. Is it sweet? This chocolate is said to be the finest in the world. Do you agree? It will taste sweeter from your lips, my love. Now lie back and think of me. Your wish is my command, tell me your desires. Tell me your needs. Tell me anything at all.”

She could almost taste the chocolate. Feel his fingers on her lips, “I love you.” was all she said. She could almost feel his body against hers. She laid back, undressing as if he watched her from the page of the letter.

“I love you, too. Hehe, Are you surprised that I can hear you? I can feel you, too. Can you feel me now?”

She could... it was almost too real.. she moaned a little...

“I know you can. I know. Oh, how I know. We share a bond to deep for mere miles to erase.

I need more than the thought of you. If you feel the same way...

Open your eyes.”

...

She felt soft lips against hers. Very real lips... her eyes flew open.

“Hehe. Are you surprised?” Saint said softly.

“What!? How—”

He put a finger over her lips, “Shh, it doesn’t matter. All that matters is that I am here with you now...” he kissed her again. His lips tasted of dark chocolate.

He pulled her into his arms, “Now, please, let me love you.”

....

SHOLMES:

“… And here you are. I’m not surprised, you’re always good at solving the fun little riddles I leave for you. Still, I found it rather charming that you left a riddle for me, as well. … It looks like we had the same place in mind, too. Yes, you told me once that you wanted to visit this tea house, didn’t you? Haha! Was that how it went? I was the one who wanted to come here? Well, I really must thank you for remembering that, then. … You made reservations as well? My, it looks like we’ll have the whole room to ourselves…

Hm? You’re disappointed that I didn’t bring my violin? My dear, did you really believe that the night would be ending here? Hehe, no, it would be too early for that. After this, I want to take you to a garden I recently found. There’s a beautiful gazebo there, and I think the acoustics will make the performance much nicer. … Besides, tonight, you’re the only one I want to hear my music.”

****

Sholmes sighed and put down his newspaper. He knew he was being foolishly sentimental. February 14th was just a date on the calendar. It was nothing to get upset about to miss a single day together.

So why did he feel so out of sorts?

He knew perfectly well, but the knowledge was uneasy. He never felt this way before and it unnerved him. He considered his intellect to be above such trivial things.

He attempted to forget his melancholy by tidying the house, but was useless. He decided a walk might clear his mind...

....And immediately spotted a familiar figure slipping between two buildings.

No one else would have noticed her unique gait and peculiar habit of looking up at the sky when she was trying to be nonchalant, but he certainly did.

She told him she would be away for the week. What was she doing sneaking in alleys?

A little troubled, he turned from his path to follow her.

She led him on a merry chase through the city, ending when he saw her slip inside a window on a sleepy, tree-shaded street.

Waiting only a moment, he followed her.

—only to be lifted off his feet and pulled through the window.

The scent of his lover’s sweet vanilla perfume surrounded him.

He was being kissed.

Thoroughly.

He answered with hunger to match. It had been too long.... He suddenly didn’t care why his lover was sneaking through the city...

She released him, “Did you like your Valentine’s Day present?” she whispered in his ear.

He understood.

Feeling a little foolish, he laughed, “You win this time.” he kissed her, “Next time you won’t get so lucky.”

“I think it is you who is about to get lucky.” she said before wrapping her arms around his neck again.

.....

FINIS:

“Ha! Well, look at how dressed up you are! Huuuh? Date? You really went to all that trouble because you thought… V-Valentine’s Day? I wasn’t particularly paying attention to it… sister baked cookies for it, which you’re welcome to have. They really…. they are rather burned, aren’t they? Sheesh…

Candles? Can’t a man light some candles without it suddenly being for a particular occasion? And the flowers… wipe that smile off your face, it makes you look like a fool. … Ahh, fine! Fine! H-Here. Huh? No, my sister didn’t make these chocolates! … I made them. Had to fight off a fork-wielding little… b-but, anyway… I’m sure you’ll find these far better than those cookies—or anything else you might have received today.

I’ve never really… Valentine’s Day never… ….. I… hope you enjoy them. The fact of the matter is, I wanted to see you. I want to see you. It doesn’t have to be a particular day… I simply… want to be with you. … There’s that smile, again. … I suppose it isn’t always a foolish one.”

****

Finis was in a bad mood.

That wasn’t unusual. How can one be in a good mood surrounded by incompetents?

It had nothing to do with a certain person being absent from work because of a cold on Valentine’s Day. They were just the only person capable of doing their job correctly. He was just annoyed because it made his workload worse.

If he kept telling himself that, he might even believe it.

He finished up early and left without an explanation.

On his way home he was further annoyed by the displays in the shops. All lurid red hearts and foolish Cupids. Childish nonsense for frivolous people. He stomped away not looking where he was going and upset a cart full of flowers. A bucket tipped as he collided with it and spilled its contents on the ground.

It was his fault. He couldn’t expect the flower girl to suffer for his clumsiness, so he bought the things.

Now what? He certainly didn’t need a bucket full of pink roses.

That certain coworker wasn’t feeling well. Maybe this would cheer her up.... so she could get back to work and do her job!

Feeling thoroughly convinced, he turned toward her house.

He found her quietly reading a book with a cup of tea. Her face turned red when she saw the flowers. Maybe she had a fever.

She was crying and smiling as she thanked him. Her eyes bright with gratitude. He didn’t understand why girls did that. But... deep in his heart... he had to admit it made him... very happy.

MAIG

Every month I’ll do a compilation of pictures of things that I liked, of places where I’ve been or anything that I thought was worth of a picture in that period of time. And in the center there will be the lockscreen that I used that month.

All pictures are mine except the ones I credit the owners/creators.

MERCREDI 6 NOVEMBRE 2019 (Billet 3/3)

Hier après-midi, profitant d’une journée relativement clémente et aussi (surtout…) pour nous changer les idées, nous sommes allés au Petit Palais voir une exposition dont nous avions vu l’affiche, en passant, le jour où nous avions décidé de découvrir l’horrible bouquet de tulipes de Jeff Koons, implanté juste derrière l’édifice.

Déjà le lieu est superbe. On ne fait quasiment jamais la queue (sauf événements exceptionnels, genre « La Nuit des Musées » où nous étions allés avec Christine et Bertrand de G.), la Collection Permanente du Musée est très riche, très variée (tableaux, sculptures, mobilier…), exposée dans de nombreuses et belles salles et elle est totalement gratuite, sauf les Expositions temporaires. On peut même se balader dans un ravissant jardin intérieur… et grignoter quelque chose dans un petit salon de thé so chic !

Mais bon, ce jour-là, nous étions venus pour GEMITO. Voir les photos ci-dessus et lisez l’article ci-dessous.

Le Petit Palais expose le sculpteur italien Vincenzo Gemito en ouverture de sa saison napolitaine. Du 15 octobre 2019 au 26 janvier 2020, redécouvrez cet artiste qui a révolutionné la sculpture de son époque.

Longtemps oublié, le Petit Palais veut remettre en lumière Vincenzo Gemito, cet artiste italien qui a introduit le réalisme dans la sculpture italienne.

Artiste innovateur et révolutionnaire en son temps, Vincenzo Gemito est tombé dans l'oubli après sa mort. Pour rendre un hommage mérité à ce sculpteur italien, le Petit Palais lui dédie la première semaine de sa saison napolitaine. Les 120 œuvres présentées retracent la vie de l'artiste, de ses débuts en 1868 à sa mort en 1929. Les créations de Vincenzo Gemito, inédites en France, ont révolutionné le monde de l'art de son époque.

L'exposition est chronologique, elle nous emmène pas à pas dans la vie de l'artiste italien. Jeune prodige, Vincenzo Gemito fait sensation dès l'âge de 17 ans, avec sa première sculpture : « Le Giocatore » (« Le joueur de cartes »). Le réalisme de cette œuvre stupéfie le public, la maison royale de Naples l'achète rapidement.

Il réalise ensuite plusieurs séries de portraits en buste, d'abord des adolescents anonymes puis des célébrités de son temps. Le buste grandeur nature du compositeur Verdi lui apportera la gloire à tout juste 21 ans. Ses sculptures frappent par leur vivacité et leur naturel.

En 1877, Vincenzo Gemito s'est installé à Paris. Lors de l'exposition universelle, il présente le « Pêcheur napolitain ». Le réalisme exacerbé de la sculpture ravit ou dégoûte les critiques. Le public, lui, est très enthousiaste. Les œuvres de l'artiste italien attirent l'œil de ses confrères Rodin et Degas.

Le Petit Palais raconte également les périodes les plus sombres de la vie du sculpteur. De sa dépression et sa folie, dans les années 1880.

Cette exposition est aussi l'occasion d'admirer le cadre majestueux du Petit Palais. Ce bâtiment, conçu pour l'Exposition Universelle de 1900, vaut une visite à lui seul. Depuis le début du XXe siècle, il accueille les collections des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris. Bien qu'il soit âgé de plus de deux siècles, vous y trouverez des œuvres plus anciennes encore, à l'instar des sculptures de Vincenzo Gemito, des tableaux de Delacroix ou Monet. À découvrir au plus vite !

Stylish and rich Montreuil is an eastern suburb of Paris, just Bois de Vincennes.

Historically this was a place of industry and agriculture, and many homes in this up-and-coming area are set in converted warehouses and mills. It’s a neighborhood where you can rummage through the flea market for vintage treasures and go back in time at the old walled peach orchards. Later at night, you will party with some of the most stylish people in Paris. And the City of Lights is at your fingertips on the Métro lines 1,3 and 9, as well as Line A of the RER commuter train. All Paris is within reach, but for convenience, we'll talk about cultural sights and icons just minutes from Montreuil. Discover the best things to do in Montreuil.

[toc]

1. Puces de Montreuil

On Avenue du Professeur André Lemierre every Saturday and Monday there’s one of the scruffiest but most lovable flea markets in the city. Almost everything on sale is second-hand, so if you’re into bric-a-brac, vintage clothes and anything retro scour these stalls for a bargain or two.

And being in Montreuil it’s also off the beaten track so you won’t be jostling with tourists. As you rummage through, you'll come across antique cutlery, art deco ceramics, old bicycle parts, pre-war furs, and all the different ways and endings.

2. Château de Vincennes

A burly medieval presence in the Vincennes district to the south, this castle hoves into view at 52 meters. When it was completed in the 1300s the keep was the tallest fortified building in Europe and was the seat of French Royal power before Versailles.

Two kings, Philippe III and his successor Philippe IV were married on the property, while in the 14th and 15th centuries three French monarchs and the English King Henry V died at Vincennes.

Later it became an ill-famed prison, incarcerating Fouquet, Mirabeau, the Marquis de Sade, and Diderot. You can come in to tour the sky-scraping upper floors of the keep, the Royal Chapel and investigating Charles V’s 14th-century study.

3. Murs à Pêches

Between the 1600 and 1900s, a third of Montreuil’s area was decked with orchards and patches that supplied Paris with fresh fruit. Not only that, these plantations helped cultivate new varieties of peaches, cherries, and strawberries.

It's a resourceful business, covering the garden with local plaster walls as heat materials at night.

Later it became easier to ship the fruit in from farms outside Paris, but many of these maze-like Murs à Pêches (Peach Walls) has been restored, especially in the Saint-Antoine area where there are 40 hectares of walled gardens. You can check in with Montreuil’s tourist office for a guided tour.

4. Bois de Vincennes

You may be shocked by the sheer size of this park just south of the Montreuil district. This is the largest park in Paris, accounting for 1/10 of the total area of the city. Like Bois de Boulogne in western Paris, it was reserved for royal hunting grounds before being landscaped by Napoleon III in the mid-19th century.

There are many hundreds of hectares of flowing greens space and woodland, but also many smaller flower gardens and venues: In the park’s confines are the Paris Velodrome, the Hippodrome, the Paris Zoo and even an urban farm with goats, cows, and sheep.

5. Parc Floral de Paris

This park on the northern edge of the Bois de Vincennes is one of the city’s four official botanical gardens. The flower park came together in the early 1960s, coinciding with the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, explaining the loose theme of Japan.

The showpiece is the glorious Vallée des Fleurs, which is updated with a colorful new theme every year. In the spring, there is a tulip show and an autumn competition for dahlias. Add to that an exciting program of cultural events such as the Paris Jazz Festival, the Festival Classique au Vert and the Pestacles.

Any other time you can bring children for a joyous day at the cool adventure playground, mini-golf course, and miniature train.

6. Musée de l’Histoire de l’Immigration

Whether you enter the museum or not, you have to come to see the Palais de la Porte Dorée on the fringes of the Bois de Vincennes. It has an official historical site, an art deco palace built for the Colonial Exhibition in 1931.

In portico, there is a huge bas-relief on the floor, showing wooden ships and strange animals. The inner galleries explore 200 years of emigration to France and keep track of the barriers faced and the achievements of migrants since the early 20th century.

Ever since the building opened there has been a tropical aquarium in the basement, which has colorful fish, turtles, and caimans.

7. La Montreuilloise Brewery

Founded in 2014, La Montreuilloise Brewery is part of the revolution of craft beer sweeping France. Using organic and environmentally-friendly methods this brewery beside the Murs à Pêches makes blonde, brown, amber and special seasonal beers.

Bottles are stored in more and more trendy bars around Montreuil and are easily discovered for their fashion labels. If you are a Paris resident or in town for more than a few days, you can go to a workshop. You’ll actually be able to make your own beer, which will then be bottled 13 days later.

8. Coulée Verte René-Dumont

From Montreuil’s Robespierre Métro station it’s only a ten-minute walk to the eastern terminus of this innovative urban project that opened in 1993.

Also known as the Promenade Plantée, this park follows the course of the old Vincennes Railway, traversing the same old viaducts and transforming them with trees, bushes, sculptures, and flowerbeds.

The end result is that you can walk from near Montreuil to Opéra Bastille in District 12 without having to step out of this green oasis. There are a couple of playgrounds for young ones, and every now and then you can descend from the elevated promenade into one of the gardens below.

9. Père Lachaise Cemetery

In the 20th Arrondissement just west of Montreuil is the final resting place of many world-changing personalities.

You can download a map of the plots at the cemetery or can pick one up from local shops. The roll-call of figures is remarkable: From French history and culture, there are writers like Balzac and Proust, painters such as Delacroix and Ingres, and the beloved singer Édith Piaf.

Many visitors come to see the small tomb of singer Jim Morrison, as well as the monument decorated by Irish writer Oscar Wilde. And though you may not recognize all of the names, many of the plots have sensational mausoleums and tomb carvings.

10. Palais Garnier

Take the Métro Line 3 to what is possibly the most famous opera house in the world. Palais Garnier was built in a lavish eclectic style, prevailing during the rule of Napoleon III in the 19th century.

Most of the concerts here are for the Paris Opera ballet, but naturally, this is the victory you can make in the end. You’ll need to stay up to date with the listings and book as early as possible long before your holiday.

But if you’re out of luck getting tickets you can be blown away by the opulence of the auditorium and Grand Foyer on a self-guided visit during the day.

stay alive. || that would be enough.

summary: c0nstants world 4. following finding out about the attack on their friend, désiré accompanies jeanne in the hospital as they watch over victor’s unconscious body.

Mel would be better at this, Désiré thinks as he clicks on another link. He had tried asking them, earlier, but with his current form, he can’t understand the squawks they make anymore. The one unfortunate downside to no longer being under the spell. His younger sibling is currently with the other swans, left outside of the hospital while he stays with their youngest sibling. He glances up as his page loads. The room is otherwise empty save for Jeanne and the unconscious patient lying in the hospital bed, has been since everyone else went to work on solving the case, or consoling someone else, or doing some thing or another. At a quick glance, Jeanne hasn’t moved, though he can see her hands at work, her needle going in out in out of bright pink fabric. He quickly looks down again, glad that her hair blocks her face; he already knows what the expression on it might be, anyways.

Flowers are one of the most wonderful creations that mother nature has ever gifted to mankind, Désiré reads. He knows without looking that flowers decorate the area, some belonging to Jeanne, most belonging to the unconscious kid lying in the hospital bed. They’re less energetic-looking than flowers usually are when in the vicinity of the Flower Queen. Désiré scrolls down and quickly scans the next paragraph. Each of the flower is assigned with a specific meaning that helps in revealing the real motive behind sending it to another person. Yes, that is why he’s looking at this page. There’s an uneasiness in his gut that won’t go away otherwise, or so he hopes.

No doubt, every one of us are aware about the basic flowers and meanings, like sending a red rose to express love and gifting a yellow rose to a best friend to say thank you for being there for me.

He wants to ask Victor what the flowers mean. Désiré himself doesn't really know flower meanings, has never really paid attention. Mel was always the one getting Jeanne’s flowers for her, always the one going to the flower shop on their own, pressing flower after flower until the Delacroix home smelled like a spring garden. If Désiré closes his eyes, he can almost pretend that he’s home again, if not for the metallic hospital smell that permeates his nose and the beep beep beep of Victor’s heartbeat. He’ll never get the smell out of his nose, if Victor doesn’t—

Désiré swipes at the page too quickly, words blurring as they fly upwards in a hurry. He quickly stops it with his thumb, just in time to read the entry: Adonis. Patience, Humility, Sad memories. He scowls down at his phone, at himself. Definitely when Victor wakes up. He doesn’t want to think about what might happen if he didn’t.

He scrolls further down at a more reasonable pace. Almond Blossom. Hope, Contemplation. Aloe. Sorrow, Grief. Asphodel. Regret, Lassitude. Basalm. Impatience. Black-Eyed Susan. Encouragement, Motivation, Impartiality.

Désiré briefly considers whether there is some higher power messing with him.

He skips the next few sections, glancing briefly at the meanings before moving on. Mourning, Despair. Safeguard, Protection. Happiness, Cheerfulness. Jealousness. Pride, wealth. Thoughtfulness, Modesty.

At least it sort of became more optimistic?

It’s a little bit until he finally reaches the Rs. He slows down, reading the entries one by one.

Death. Gratitude. Happy love. Innocent love, Beauty and youth. Unconscious beauty. Love is dangerous. Tranquility and peacefulness. Gratitude, Thank you. Love at first sight. Desire, Enthusiasm.

Désiré pauses, glances back at the flower in question. He hadn’t even known there were coral roses.

Togetherness, Closing of a deal.

I love you still and will always love you.

Charmingly simplicity.

Stopping the page, he stares at the next entry for a while.

Rose (Yellow). Friendship, Joy, Gladness, Jealousy, Infidelity, the page says.

Your battery level is at 20%, his phone adds. Désiré ignores the warning and instead scrolls back up to the top of the page.

gifting a yellow rose to a best friend to say thank you for being there for me.

He scrolls back down.

Jealousy, Infidelity, the page says, still.

Well, that sure changes the meaning a bit, Désiré thinks to himself while silently vowing to never give a yellow rose to anyone ever again. He wonders whether Victor meant any of those meanings before he fell unconscious.

There are no more rose flowers—the list is already longer than he had anticipated—so he scrolls mindlessly. He doesn’t know the name of Jeanne’s flower, but that’s what the [REPLACE-BALANCE?] had told him had been at the scene after he had pestered them for answers. He thinks Victor may have grown that one accidentally— he had been helping Jeanne grow the seeds faster, after all— but it didn’t hurt to check. He squints at the screen, trying to identify the tiny pictures of white flowers.

Star of Bethlehem. Atonement, Satisfaction.

Why would Victor be feeling satisfaction?

Stephanotis. Happiness in marriage.

Oh, was that AJ’s apartment was now filled with white flowers?

Strawberry flower. Perfect goodness.

He was pretty sure he would know if Jeanne had been growing strawberries.

Tulip (White). Forgiveness.

Tulips, at least, were flowers Désiré could recognize without Mel telling him the answer.

He reaches the end of the page and scrolls back up, looking for where he had left off.

Your battery level is at 10%, his phone reminds him. Désiré clicks the warning away and continues scrolling.

Orange Blossom. Innocence, Eternal love.

Victor, friendship...Victor’s friend?..jealousy...jealous of a friend?...innocence? Désiré isn’t sure what the story behind that combination means, but he’s pretty sure he’s wrong. He can’t imagine what anyone would even be jealous of Victor for. Of perhaps Victor being jealous of a friend? Or— nevermind.

Marvel-Of-Peru (Four o'clock flower). Flame of love.

Maybe he should tell Jeanne to see if she can use other flowers.

He continues warily. Magnolia is the next one. Nobility, Perseverance, Love for nature, the page says.

The screen goes black. Désiré silently groans as he stuffs his phone into his back pocket. He’d have to read the rest it later, his charger was still back in Aiden’s bar. Or maybe in the Delacroix house. Or had he left it at the apartment? He can’t remember. He could text the group chat and ask— oh. Well.

Sighing to himself, he settles into the hospital chair, looking up slowly. He blinks. Jeanne blinks back at him. Her hands are floating in midair, as if she had paused in the middle of a movement. Désiré glances at the hospital bed before looking back at his sibling.

Ready? he asks in broken ASL. She shakes her head and looks away, goes back to pulling thread through blue fabric. The person on the bed does not stir. Désiré looks away as well, eyes landing on the vases of flowers sitting around the room. Non-flowers have been stacked on a small table next to Victor, some teddy bears, some stuffed animals, a basket of candy, cards upon cards upon cards. The uneasiness in his gut grows.

He sits back and starts trying to identify the flowers.
