I thought about sharing what's been my view during the last few days... I can't believe how much I needed to leave the big city for a while, my stress levels have mostly gone and the only reason I think I won't get rid of the constant exhaustion it's because I won't have enough days to sleep and fully recover! 😂

Anyway, I'm not dead, I'm here, and I so want to have time to read all your wonderful fics and stories, but as I've been so exhausted, the moment I try to pick anything to read I start falling asleep and it sucks (it's not that your stories are boring, it's just that I'm too tired! 😂).

During my time out I've managed to read some Choices' chapters though. And of course, I have some opinions no one asked for (but I need to share them anyway):

ALPHA is EVERYTHING Wolf Bride should have been. It was such a fun reading! But let me tell you, I'm going to need many answers in Book 2, Book 1 left too many unsolved questions.

I also managed to read THE BILLIONAIRE'S BABY. My biggest issue was that I didn't understand certain dialogues and attitudes because they weren't consistent with the game I was playing. I ended up restarting the book and that's when I realized that if you don't pick any diamond scenes until the story forces the MC and the LI to hook up, everything makes much more sense. I mean, the book is still awful (especially the ending... that was so "wtf?!?"), but at least now I kind of understand what I read.

The last book I finished was SHIP OF DREAMS. It's not a terrible book, it's not a mind-blowing book, it's OK. I can't compare it to the Storyscape story because I never read that one, but I honestly didn't expect the plot to be different to the movie, so no surprises there. The amount of smut was completely unnecessary, I think it ruined a lot of moments, especially because the characters in the book had very nice personalities that could have been further developed: both the nice guys and the villains were on point. The ending? Disappointing, as it didn't solve one of the big conflicts in the book.

Right now I'm reading UNBRIDED. Man... what did they do to Mandy? By the end of Untamable, she was the LI of my MC's brother, and then suddenly she becomes a LI for my new MC? It took a lot of chapters to understand what had happened between the end of Book 1 and the beginning of Book 2. Awful move! That should have been explained at the very beginning of the story! I also hate, hate, HATE the fact that you can't be a genuinely nice person without having some romance involved. Most of the time there is no choice and that makes me feel super limited in my game. Finally, I don't understand why the MC is so scared of telling everyone her secret. I didn't expect to get a good book here, but even if the story makes sense, I'm so limited in my choices that I end up feeling I can't play the book the way I want to and that kind of ruins the experience.

Anyway, I hope to be able to return to this little corner soon. I miss being here, but the constant exhaustion is not helping. I can't even keep up with all Choices' releases as I used to as I fall asleep mid chapter, so I'm reading books that have at least 10 chapters completed and that's kind of working better at the moment. I miss my life from a few years ago, where I was tired, but I had time to share stuff here. I'm on my way to fix it, but I really need my body to cooperate for it to work! 😅

So I'm back to writing a bit (gonna post some stuff soon when I can schedule a bunch at once) but as a little hint on which raffle winner I'm working on?

it's going to be a fluffy fic don't worry, I'm just starting to lean into the inherent horror present with the self aware characters and how that can be used. :D

i dont think I've ever stated just how much i love christmas (or the time around it) because oh my god

just one classical song that is often associated with christmas and i begin craving that time of year so so badly

because i have such a warm feeling about it, this kind of nostalgia from when i was a kid it fills me with such a specific positive feeling and a longing for more of that feeling that nothing else can make me feel

i dont even have any specific memories that i can link to this, i just have such a fondness for it that i've noticed the past few years

Un-bridal-ed.

Unbridled. 

Un, not.

Unknot.

Not with a head in a head-shaped holster—

Some gun to be pulled by someone who cannot speak your language. 

Daughter-in-law, cooking, brewing, house-gift, Bride. 

Bridal, bridle. Braid. Bard. 

Debridement. Removal of injured tissue from a wound. 

To partner. A sharer or partaker in anything. 

Part holder. Associate players at power and authority. 

Hand in hand, not foot on rib, not ass on back, 

Not arm on father’s arm. 

Not a gift, not a pawn, not merely love.

Un-bridal.

Unbridled.

A/N just a reminder that my requests are open :)

"Blitzo, can't you just deal with whatever it is on your own?" Y/n groaned, rubbing her temples in irritation as she stepped out of the office, "I swear to god, if this is some joke? I'm gonna kill you."

There was the quiet, indiscernible drone of the TV. Other than that, the room was silent. Y/n looked up, her eyes falling on the wall beside the office's door and the people who stood before it.

Moxxie, Millie, and Blitzo in a quiet, tense line. She raised her eyebrows, nearly smiled.

"What the fuck is going on?"

Blitzo uncharacteristically said nothing, simply raising his hand and pointing to the entry way. Y/n's eyes narrowed, her muscles tensed and ready for a fight as she followed the path indicated by his gesture. The hand on the knife at her side fell slack as her gaze landed on an achingly familiar face.

"Holy shit." she mumbled, her mouth falling open a little.

"Yeah, uh, he's been asking for you?" Moxxie nervously explained, "You didn't... I mean, he's the Radio Demon. He hasn't been seen in years, you didn't fuck with him... did you?"

Y/n felt tears press behind her eyes again as she took a tentative step forwards. Then another one. Slowly, she crossed the room to the taller demon who just stood there with a smile, watching her all the while with his arms folded behind his back. Y/n peered up at him, her eyes narrowed as they met his own.

The one person in the whole world she'd been practically dying to see. There was a pain, he was the cause and the cure of it. Hesitantly, she raised a hand and poked his nose.

"Shit." Blitzo muttered, rubbing his eyes tiredly as Millie let out a subtle gasp.

"Are you done?" Alastor asked, his voice crackling with irritation as he looked down at Y/n, whose arms were now crossed over her chest.

"I had to make sure you weren't a dream." she shrugged, turning her head away, "Mox was right, you've been gone seven years."

"Are you mad?" he teased, leaning down towards her ear.

Y/n rolled her eyes, turning to face him once again. She scowled at the man for a moment before a smile broke out across her face.

"I never could stay mad at you." she admitted, wrapping her arms around his waist.

"I..." Moxxie trailed off in confusion.

Alastor slowly wrapped his arms around Y/n's waist.

"Mills, start planning a funeral." Blitzo scoffed.

Before any of the trio could say another word, he had lifted her off her feet and was spinning her in the air.

"Al!" Y/n shrieked through her laughter, "Stop it! You'll mess up my hair!"

He set her down again and the pair released each other.

"You menace." Y/n shook her head, still laughing, "It's like you knew I was thinking of you."

"You were, were you?" he teased, leaning down to her level.

"Y/n, do you know the Radio Demon?" Millie interrupted, taking a step forward.

Both Alastor and Y/n turned to face her.

"What, this old freak?" she asked, elbowing him gently.

"I resent that." Alastor hummed and Y/n laughed again, her joy unbridaled.

"Yeah, we're friends." Y/n confirmed, catching the genuine concern in her friend's eyes, "Known each other for about as long as I've been down here."

Alastor nodded as Y/n looked back up at him.

"Speaking of the old days," he hummed, looking her up and down, "what's this new look you've got?"

"Huh?" Y/n looked down at her clothes before turning and meeting his eyes once again, "Oh, I'm an assassin now."

"No no no, my dear." he shook his head, "This simply wont do. I can't have you wandering around looking like some ragamuffin."

Alastor snapped his fingers and Y/n looked down to see she was wearing a dress now. She almost yelled at him, almost tore him a new one and called him a dick. Then she realized what dress it was she was wearing. Y/n looked up at Alastor with wide eyes.

"This is..."

"The dress you murdered your husband in, yes."

Y/n squealed, throwing her arms around Alastor's neck and pulling him in for another tight hug that he reluctantly accepted. Letting him go, she spun around, watching the way the skit splayed out from her legs.

"You remembered! Oh, Alastor! Thank you."

"The fuck." Blitzo muttered to himself, watching the scene playing out before him.

Y/n beamed up at him as Alastor raised a claw, looping it through the circle on the collar Y/n still wore. All of her other accessories and clothing had vanished, as he had intended, except for this. He hummed thoughtfully and Y/n's cheeks grew hot with shame. She looked away.

"What's this then?" he asked, letting the ring fall from his finger.

It hit the leather of the collar with a quiet thud.

"Look, I... made some bad choices." Y/n sighed, refusing to meet his eyes, "A physical sign of a very real metaphysical decision I had to make."

"Quite possessive, to cast a spell like that." Alastor mused, "You always had a thing for that though, didn't you."

Y/n raised her arms, wrapping them tightly around her body at the harsh remark. She made to move away from him but, as she did, Alastor grabbed Y/n's chin, forcing her to look at him. He watched her expression carefully.

"You could have come to me. You know I would have taken that delectable little soul off your hands in a moment."

"Yeah well, you weren't here." Y/n firmly stated, taking a step back so he no longer held her, "I did what I had to do to survive."

Alastor raised his eyebrows.

"And who exactly did you make this... bad decision with?"

"Al, can we please talk about this later?"

"They don't know, do they."

"They do." Y/n insisted, "I just... please, not now."

"Fine." Alastor relented after a moment.

The pair fell silent, Alastor's critical gaze interlocked with Y/n's indignant one.

"Sooo," Blitzo began, breaking the awkward silence and drawing the attention of the room off the pair and onto him as he took a step forward, coming to a stop beside Millie, "you two fucking?"

"Jesus, Sir!?" Moxxie exclaimed in shock.

"You can't be serious, right?" Y/n laughed in surprise, "No, Blitzo, we're not fucking. The day Alastor has a sex drive is the day Heaven is overrun by... I don't know, giant killer bees?"

"It's more likely than you think, dear."

"What's that-"

Alastor cut her off mid sentence, placing a hand over her mouth as he caught the images flashing across the TV on the other side of the room.

"Hey, rude." Y/n scoffed, pulling herself from his grip.

Alastor ignored her. With a flick of his finger, he raised the volume on the TV. At the sight of his narrowed eyes and tight smile, Y/n turned to see what exactly was bothering him so much.

SHUT UUPPP BECAUSE

from the first moment Stoick finds out Hiccup has been training dragons, SPECIFICALLY the scene in HTTYD 1, when Stoick orders to prepare the ships to go on dragon island, HE HAS FLASHBACKS OF VALKA AND REALIZES HOW MUCH HICCUP RESEMBLES HER. also, a detail i LOOOVEE is his unbridaled anxiety every single moment until they find Valka, in ROB, DOB, RTTE and HTTYD 2, anytime Hiccup goes into a mission, because not only is it PTSD from the time his son almost died, but also because as far as he's aware Valka got killed because she loved dragons too much and he's afraid Hiccup will have the same faith.

🎶 I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry 🎶

When Zelda entered the club Antoine was exactly where Jo had promised, playing the most haunting song that she had ever heard. She stood still, watching and listening, until he spoke to her without taking his hands off the keys,

“I’m sure Jo has told you everything by now. Told you all about who we really are: the damned children of a brothel madam and nothing more. Ah, Josephine, my poor, dear sister. Momma made sure that she was loved here from the very start, and look where it got her. Then when she needed me the most I was halfway around the world fighting in another man’s war.”

His paused for a moment and then began playing again; only now the music was even more frenzied, full of unbridaled anger like nothing that Zelda had ever heard from an instrument.

Still he kept speaking, the notes that he played never faltering, “But you see I’ve been something to hide my entire life, and I’ve always known it. While Josephine was bringing the men drinks and brushing the ladies hair, Momma had me cleaning the stables. Well, she did until she learned how well I could play. But even then, she didn’t want to offend her gentlemen customers, so she set up screens all around me, so that I could always be heard but never seen.”

Antoine turned away from the piano and the music stopped abruptly, leaving a palpable void in the air. He kept his head buried in his hands, still not wanting to meet her eyes, “When Josephine and I opened this club for ourselves we promised that we would leave our pasts behind us. She swore that no one would ever control her again; I swore that I would never play behind a screen for as long as I lived. Do you understand, Zelda? Do you still want to be part of all this?”

She walked over to him, never taking her eyes off of him, and lifted his face to meet her own, “I understand, Antoine, and I’m so sorry that I didn’t before. But I can promise you that as long as you want me here, I’m not going anywhere.”

Part 3/4

[thesweetnessofspring]

She herself was thinking of the way she had once planned to be married—away back in her early teens when such a thing had not seemed impossible. White silk and tulle veil and orange-blossoms; no bridesmaid. But one flower girl, in a frock of cream shadow lace over pale pink, with a wreath of flowers in her hair, carrying a basket of roses and lilies-of-the-valley. And the groom, a noble-looking creature, irreproachably clad in whatever the fashion of the day decreed. Valancy lifted her eyes and saw herself and Barney in the little, slanting, distorting mirror over the mantelpiece. She in her odd, unbridal green hat and dress; Barney in shirt and overalls. But it was Barney. That was all that mattered. No veil—no flowers—no guests—no presents—no wedding-cake—but just Barney. For all the rest of her life there would be Barney.

How sad Valancy never saw herself having a bridesmaid! Of course she's noted how she never even had a friend, but with Olive and the other cousin she was supposed to be a bridesmaid for, it makes me curious if in her fantasy, these girls who she was never really close to she was not obligated to make a bridesmaid. If she had gotten married earlier, before all of this, I can imagine the Stirling clan wanting certain girls to be her bridesmaids--specifically to upstage Valancy even on her hypothetical wedding day. And if she knew this and so did not want any bridesmaid at all.

Of course wedding ceremonies are important and there's nothing wrong with having a beautiful ceremony and party, but Valancy and Barney's wedding day is stripped down to what matters--the two of them. It's really lovely and shows what Valancy is valuing in the last months of her life is the people and relationships she's missed out on more than anything.
