Even a mere mortal can sense the regret lingering in the atmosphere of the vicinity, a small space dedicated for confessions and atonement of sins committed by those who believe in the Harmony. Numerous pews stand in rows before a single one, each being occupied by two people at best, to which you draw closer to the confession box— one more person to go and it is time to purify your tainted soul.

It was just muffled murmurs of two people from the latter reverberating inside the hall's six walls, along with the sound of the ceiling fans whirring. Your mind starts to drift onto something else: although you have no idea what others hold with regards to their sins, you still could not help but think that yours is shameful.

You can see the person beside you exit the birch box with teary eyes and stuffed nose as she holds a handkerchief to her face. "Next please." a resolute voice echoes, signalling for you to step forward into the confessional. With a wobbly stature, you stand up and tread forward, proceeding to close the oak door behind you.

The golden lights from the hall seep through the confession booth's partition, gleaming upon your stature - creating a silhouette as to where only the advocate from the other side can peer through the woodworks. You attempt to clear your voice before speaking, a dry throat halting the words you intend to verbalize within.

"I humbly ask for your blessings and the forgiveness of Xipe . . ." You mutter as your eyes dart to nothing that catches your interest except for the parquetry etched on the wooden floorboards. Your head held down low, staring at its intricate designing.

"Please feel free to proceed. I have sought their presence within us." The priest answers. "I have committed a grave sin of succumbing to passing emotions. Primarily, I struggled with regulating the purity of one's mind and it was late that I realized I indulged in an extreme activity to quench the thirst for sexual pleasure." 

A reassuring hum resounds. "As a devout follower of the Harmony, I believe my actions do not align with the path I stride. Therefore, I ask for forgiveness and assistance on how I will repent for the sins I have committed." After forming the confession where in sentences you never thought have ever been uttered, it feels as though a heavy weight was lifted off your chest and the shackles on your feet disintegrated.

Glancing at the frosted, colored glass window in front of you, you noticed how the warm yellow lights in the background flicker repetitively in an instant, as well as the birch surroundings creaking. "By committing a grave sin, you've engaged in an activity with a partner you are not married with." The priest reiterates as if the faulty lights are a common occurrence.

You hum in response. "And by committing an even graver sin, you took part in an activity with an objective aside from procreation. Please correct me if I'm wrong."

"Yes, esteemed advocate. Everything you said was indeed correct." Your heart starts racing, "Do you promise yourself you'll turn your back on this lascivious history to start anew?" He queries.

"Yes, Mister Sunday."

"Even if you were to encounter challenges to test your faith for the Harmony?"

Hesitation ruptures through your composure. Your resolution suddenly cracks, as if it was merely a façade with a longing for forgiveness to move on.

"Be honest." Like the advocate could read your mind as of the moment, you believe in the capabilities of Harmony, so there was no use in feigning cleanliness when you know it in yourself, you still struggle. "I wish to seek assistance from those with wisdom."

You receive another firm hum in response, "Very well. Please see me in the reconciliation room a short time after." Your mind spirals into confusion and bewilderment, the emotions painting your features like you were an open book to the audience.

Trekking off the confessional booth, you did not dare to spare a glance back at the priest and only made your way to the distinct, separate room - the reconciliation. It was small, enclosed, and only an oak table, two pairs of engraved chairs, a single ligneous partition and a kneeler reside within the space. Your vision anchors to the sculpted wooden cross sign hung on the beige walls, illuminated by a faint golden lamp on the table.

Patiently awaiting the presence of the priest, you stood still with a heavy heart, seeming like the relief you felt previously was only a glimpse of what you could've been if you didn't commit such grave sin. If only.

The door swings open, followed by the entrance of the figure you were anticipating. Faded sky blue hues of hair tumble upon the male's shoulders, along with the golden earrings he was donning. Feathered ears diluting into white ripple from his footsteps, and his distinct, golden halo stays afloat behind his head.

Being vis-à-vis with the highly esteemed figure of the Penacony like this tugs your heartstrings in unease. It felt bizarre, as you could recall from others' experiences that when you encounter priests or advocates of the Harmony, your heart rests. As for Sunday, it was the polar opposite. Chills run kilometers up and down your spine, your throat starts to become dry.

You trail your vision downwards, setting your sight upon his graceful features. His eyes were a radiant yellow tinged with an ocean blue, framed by his particularly long lower lashes. He purses his lips tightly, curving upwards, flashing a small smile. "Please take a seat." He motions for the chair in front of your figures, your eyes noticing the cross cut out gloves he's wearing.

Sitting down with guard held up high, Sunday follows suit as he opens the drawer from the oak table, retrieving something of a color white and frilly in texture, as you make of what you could from your peripheral vision. "This will certainly be of help to put your faith to test. If you would kindly turn around."

Your hands rest on your lap and as you hear the last phrase that came out of his mouth, you subconsciously gripped a handful of the fabric you're wearing in alertness. Not until your vision was impaired as Sunday blindfolds you with the latter material, it was soft and delicate to the touch - you could not see anything but faint shadows against the lighting. Everything was ivory white in stark contrast, and you could barely peer through the lace folds to see the priest.

"I will now be tuning your mind with the Harmony to which you will face repercussions if statements untrue to yourself are said." He pauses. Unsure where this will lead to, you had no choice but to nod in continuation. "Under the light of the Harmony, all wickedness is revealed. I implore them to shed their light."

What used to be a blurry white in your vision now fringes into colored edges, the prominent colors being purple, white, red, orange, and yellow.

"This will serve as a gentle reminder that I am assisting you to a path where grave sins  are not succumbed to, and only ▅▅▅ exists alongside philosophy to instill moral duties to a functioning member of a society."

His words cut through the thick atmosphere, thawing the glacial tension growing with each passing second.

He lowers his stature to face you, gloved fingers trailing from the hem of the laced blindfold down to your cheeks, cupping your face lightly with a careful grip. "Does this send a shiver down to your spine?" Sunday inquires and you shake your head in disagreement. It seems like he has a whole plan on how this will play out, and you were merely a pawn in his chessboard to see what you would react under these circumstances he will put you in.

The touch ghosts a caress on your lower parts, specifically, the frame of your chest. His thumb twirls on the middle part with an unraveled goal of making your buds perk up underneath the confinements of your clothing - making you grit your teeth as a poor attempt to stifle the sound threatening to escape.

A question arises amidst the confusing situation, a question that will surely be received in a poor taste as it will question his authority and legitimacy. You wanted to ask, is this really necessary?

However, the aura he exudes now was far different from what he displays when he's in front of the audience of the masses. He seems more strict now, judging from the tone lacing his voice from his query earlier. "Does this feel good?" He proceeds to unbutton your top, letting the fabric come undone and fall down to your lap. A singular  gloved hand of his snakes its way to your back, and with a single fidget, your bra was unclasped.

The priest takes his precious time in all these. He carefully observes the clothing that you wear, as he had come to adore the fact that you were wearing pearly white brassiere, one that was similar to the blindfold's texture and design, it was frilly in the edges and soft to the touch.

A light chuckle slips out, "Well? What's your answer?" Desire and temptation brews within your stomach, even spiking higher as he caresses your mounds with both of his hands. His touches feel light and blissful at the same time, like your body was basking in the warmth and enjoyment the priest had to offer. You struggle to keep your body still, knees trembling even though you were only sitting.

"N-No, Mr. Sunday."

A sharp throbbing ache courses through your head, granting him a wince of both surprise and pain. "It appears that you haven't put your mind and whole heart to this yet." He says as he walks away from your stature, leaving you dumbfounded. As silence encompasses the vicinity, you hear the male seat himself on the chair across from you. "Come to me." He simply orders.

"Just take steps forward and trust me."

With blind faith, you solemnly obey - approaching his figure with an extremely bleary vision. As your feet meet with an obstacle, seemingly the chair's legs, you stop in your tracks. "Now straddle my lap." Following suit, you feel a bulging sensation under your remaining clothing. Your breath becomes even more jagged than before, especially now that your clothed folds come in contact with his throbbing dick. It was clear cut enough that it was his erection continuously growing.

A brief moment passes and Sunday continues to envelop your hard buds within his lips, teeth grinding on your nipples in an attempt to inflict pain and pleasure all at the same time. "M— Mr. Sunday . . !" You yelp but he does not halt. He proceeds to twirl his warm, slick tongue all over your glazed areolas, your boob dancing in rhythm with his mouth in somewhat harmonic tunes played by your stifled mewls.

His other free hand pulls you tighter to his chest as he adjusts his position, bucking his hips upwards to create some sort of friction. The tip of his covered cock brushes against your already wet slit, granting him another lewd sound - this time, a soft moan. "I— I— I can't—" your hands clutch on the man's broad shoulders, feeling his long, muted blue and white locks tangle along your fingers. "You can. Yes you can. Only a little bit more you would be rewarded by proving your loyalty to the ▅▅▅."

Your sense of hearing downgrades as your mind drifts into pure bliss, lower limbs becoming numb as more pleasure courses through your veins. As if it's still not enough, Sunday simply lowers your remaining clothes to your feet, revealing your folds sopping wet with arousal already.

With haste and care in Sunday's every movement, he lays your back on the table in between the chairs, forcibly revealing everything down there to him — for him to revel in. The gelid wind traces shivers upon your sweat dewed skin, especially your folds now glimmering with muddy white liquids.

He raises your legs and stands up, resting your lower limbs upon his shoulders. The position is embarrassing enough as it is, but having the priest tower over you is another experience that feels even more intense than what unfolded previously. Not to mention that the throbbing pang in your head brought by your dishonesty upon the Harmony worsens minute by minute.

The male buries his face in your inner thighs first, flicking his tongue over your soft skin while his eyes are darted on your face, in high alert to which action of his you will react the most to. "Need I remind you to be honest this time around? Or is the headache that you're feeling not sufficient for you to stay true to your words?" He asks with a demanding tone, the margins of his lips drawing closer and closer to your slit.

"I have learned my lesson, Mr. Sunda—"

Gloved fingers begin to stimulate your clit, moving in motions you cannot fathom with your current state - your lower body jerking up in response to the stimulation. A sly smile creeps up on Sunday's face, his navy blue pupils fixating on each of your actions and expressions.

All you could think of was the fact that he didn't even let you finish, he went straight to pleasure you more, the sensation becoming more overwhelming as he starts to glide the tip of his tongue on your folds. "Do you feel good?" Although his voice was muffled from the proximity from his face and your pussy, you could comprehend and immediately answer, "Yes! I-I feel good . . !"

You rack your head back once Sunday buries his face further into your inner thighs, wallowing himself in your slit as he sucked on your sweet spot, sticking his tongue into your velvet walls while still toying with your clitoris. You bite back your moans, you cannot afford to lose the remaining dignity you had in you left - if there was any.

"Don't do that."

His voice sounds stern as ever, you were left with no choice yet again but to let mewls and moans come undone at this point in time. You were noisy, along with the sucking sounds accompanied by your hums of pleasure, continually bouncing off of the reconciliation room's four walls. "Very good. As for the last part, you must continue to be truthful, to stand by the ▅▅▅, and to ▅▅▅ to what I ought to be ▅▅▅ for you. Do you understand?"

Much to your relief, your vision was once again back to normal as he unties the lacey blindfold on your eyes. This time, you could see Sunday's disheveled hair, as well as the golden earrings dangling at every movement he makes. He swiftly unzips his slacks, therefore revealing his cock he had been concealing for so long before. It stands in its full glory, hues of purple and indigo veins threatening to pop - it was evident he's at his limit.

"Use your mouth. Make me feel good." He commands and peers at you with a somber expression. You muster enough strength on your body to stand up and kneel in front of him, positioning your head in a perfect angle to receive him. Slowly parting your lips open, he shoves his dick inside you, granting you a hoarse moan of satisfaction slipping past his lips.

You bob your head up and down and as if it felt natural to wrap your digits around the remaining length of his cock, you pump him in accordance to your pace, taking him inside with no hesitation, with only one goal in mind: to make him feel good. You could feel the crown of his dick kiss your throat every time you go deeper, making your eyes water as you try to keep yourself from gagging for the priest's satisfaction.

"That's enough, stand up." Your momentum was cut off as he hooks his arms on yours, making you stand from your previously kneeling position. It seems he has indulged enough in your submission and now it is time for him to try something new, something far more amusing in his perspective.

With both of your statures still standing up, he flips you around, making your back face him. He can examine every nook and cranny of your body in this way, and with a hum of approval, he bends you over slightly, wrapping his arms around your waist and reach for your tits. Your breath deepens, more beads of sweat proceed to trickle down your naked body. "M-Mr. Sunday, are we really going to do it?" you ask as he wraps his hand around himself, brushing his tip on your entrance.

He stops in his movements. "Do you have a problem with that?" A domineering tone laces that sole sentence, one that a person cannot delve deeper furthermore.

With one more stroke, he finally pushes himself inside your velvet walls, molding themselves around the shape of Sunday's dick - wallowing in the pleasure and warmth he emanates inside you. "So . . . warm . . ." He whispers, his breath ghosting a caress on the shell of your ear.

Sunday builds up his pace from a painfully slow one to picking it up, thrusting into you with additional force, pistoning your pussy as he's balls deep. Sounds of skin slapping add onto the lewd tune you two have been playing for the past hour, a whole sixty minutes of pleasure pooling your stomach and arousals seeping out of your holes.

Your legs start to quiver once more, exhaustion gnawing at your bones. But amidst this, Sunday kept you still with his force, hitting your sweet spots with the tip of his cock. If you could beg for mercy as of the moment, you certainly would take the chance. But to who, exactly? To whoever aeon is witnessing this lascivious act unfold in front of them, committed in such a religious place?

Or perhaps to Sunday, who you've knelt to before, received him inside your body in more ways than one. Perhaps. Perhaps it is he who shall show you mercy in the heat of the moment.

"M-Mr. Sunday, please forgive me!"

Interest sparks inside his mind, revelling in the way of being viewed as someone highly, someone sought out, someone in a legitimate authority. "You shall be forgiven." He states as he bites down on the blade of your shoulder, teeth leaving a bite mark and an aching sensation alongside it. You could do nothing but wince in pain, but waves of pleasure start to crush upon your conscious self.

Surely this is too much pleasure to handle for someone asking for forgiveness as they committed a grave sin for partaking in debauchery . . . but to be done this way by a priest is a little too exhilarating.

He picks up the pace, earning himself more moans of pleasure escape your lips, "I'll ▅▅▅ ▅▅▅ inside you." Sunday says as a fair warning, but a sentence you could only form at the present time was a lighthearted "Do as you please, Mr. Sunday."

With one single thrust, strings of satisfaction sprawl inside your womb. It feels warm yet again, but now, comforting in stark contrast to the nervousness welling up in your heart earlier.

"Well done. As you've shown resolution that you're on a path to atone for the sins you've committed in the past, you shall be forgiven."

A little softness from Part II of The Great War, featuring Giyuu’s unfurnished manor and the first look at the meeting between Reader and the Uzui gang…

READ PART I HERE

Giyuu watched her survey his estate and he felt a flush of embarrassment. He’d never given much thought to its furnishings beyond the barest essentials – namely, his futon and a mismatched assortment of cookwares for the rare occasion he bothered to prepare himself a meal.

Admittedly, he’d never spared much consideration for how empty and barren his home might appear to outsiders. Never before had it occurred to him to decorate; after all, he’d never had visitors in his time with the Corps, apart from the time Tanjiro had come to train with him, shortly before that final battle. But then, as he watched his new fiance slowly take in the sprawling estate before her, he felt a strange unease.

“It’s not much,” he admitted, quietly. “But you are free to do – to decorate – as you wish.”

Y/N still did not answer, and Giyuu found himself in a rush to explain; to justify. “This is your home, too, after all –”

At that, the shrine maiden’s eyes snapped to his, as though suddenly aware he was indeed there.

“Forgive me, I –,” her voice faltered as her eyes swept across the empty interior of the Manor. “I have never had a place I could truly call my own. But now I do.”

She finally looked to him, and Giyuu realized he expression had not been one of wary judgment; it was awe.

“Thank you,” she whispered, her hand rising to settle against his cheek. “Thank you for returning to me. Thank you for this gift.”

As Y/N hurriedly re-dressed in her shrine clothes, she swore she heard a titter of voices join the one which had loudly disrupted her soft morning with her new fiance.

Once dressed, the young Miko quickly looked around her fiance’s sparsely furnished bedroom, desperate for a mirror to ensure she looked presentable, but to her chagrin, there was none. With a grimace, she fished her small wooden comb out of her bag and yanked it through her hair, scowling at some of the knots which had formed as a result of Giyuu’s enthusiastic fingers.

She moved like a storm through the bedroom, finding the delicate hairpin the Water Pillar had gifted her discarded haphazardly to the side of the futon. Y/N quickly twisted her hair back and slid the pin through the knot she’d made, securing it in place. Her hands patted nervously down her front, smoothing any wrinkles or pulls in her shrine uniform. There was little else she could do to ensure her appearance was proper to greet guests, but she would have to discuss the need for a mirror with Giyuu later.

Quietly, she slid the door of the bedroom open and padded softly down the long hallway which led to the front of the Water Pillar’s estate. As she drew nearer, the muffled hum of voices clarified.

“Kanao and that haughty loudmouth of hers are quite cross with you,” the male voice, warm and rich boomed from the front of the Manor. “You didn’t even allow them to examine you once you woke up –”

“I had something I needed to do,” came Giyuu’s even reply. “It could not wait.”

There was a great snort. “You just don’t think, Giyuu.”

Y/N drew upon the last corner that separated her from Giyuu and his guests and she paused. After two quick, steadying breaths, she squared her shoulders and forced her legs to carry her around the partition, her heart lodged uncomfortably in her throat.

The four strangers gathered in the front hall did not immediately notice her appearance, but the Manor’s raven-haired master did. The moment the shrine maiden stepped into the entry wing, Giyuu turned toward her. Though the man – lumbering and massive as he was – had been in te middle of lecturing the former Water Pillar about the need to take care of his health, Giyuu’s attention on her remained rapt, his eyes full of warmth and longing.

Slowly, each of the strangers – three women and one man – turned their attention to what had so ensnared that of their friend’s, and suddenly, Y/N found herself bearing the uncomfortable weight of four additional pairs of eyes.

Three and a half, she corrected inwardly, noting that the one who’d ben speaking when she’d arrived wore a distinct, bejeweled eyepatch over his left eye.

The four strangers continued to stare at her, their faces contorted in various degrees of surprise, from the stunned, raised-eyebrow expression worn by the woman whose hair was slicked back and up, to the gobsmacked, slack-jawed look of pure awe by the girl whose eyes were a distinct shade of brilliant blue.

The male companion blinked. “Well,” he straightened, a massive arm coming to rest on his hip as he flashed her a crooked smile. “I guess this is the reason you were in such a hurry to leave the Butterfly Mansion, huh?”

—

BONUS:

“Who is this, Giyuu?” The silver haired man prompted, eye flicking back and forth between Y/N and his comrade.

“She is everything.” Giyuu said simply, and Y/N felt her cheeks burn. “She is my betrothed.”

Life in the Corazon Rivera Ancestral House

From Cora Relova of the Pila Historical Society Foundation and granddaughter of Corazon Rivera:

Lola’s house (Corazon Rivera Ancestral House) is considered ancestral because it is more than 50 years old and still belongs to the fourth generation of the family. It is a heritage house because the architecture belongs to a certain period and it is inside the declared (Philippine National) heritage zone. It is “taga-gitna” (people with houses in the center of the town surrounding the main plaza are elite).

It was built around 1929-1930. Lola Loring said she was 12 years old when they - Lola Azon (Corazon Rivera), Lolo Ato (Renato Del Mundo, son of Corazon Rivera) and Lola Loring (Loreto Del Mundo, daughter of Corazon Rivera) started living there. The old municipal hall (municipio) used to be located in the property. Lola Azon’s property was where the main municipal hall is located now. Lola Loring said that Lola Azon did not want to build the house directly in front of the church because she felt that the sins being confessed will "boomerang" back to the house or something like that. Can you imagine if she did not exchange her property….we will be in the center of the town plaza.

Anyway, there was no architect hired and Lola Azon was assisted by her nephew Felimon Rebong ("Lolo Imon") who was an engineer, or still an engineering student at that time. The house was built during the American period so it is called a chalet. It had plumbing and electricity. For better air flow the  windows were big and surrounded the house. The lower portion of the windows had “ventanillas” (little windows) covered with wooden sliding doors which can be opened too. The upper portion of the walls had open wood carvings. 

On the landing of the main stairs is the “balcon” (balcony) where one can sit to view the plaza. Aside from the main door there is also a door that leads to the first room. There were three rooms before with small doors leading to each room (the word “privacy” did not exist). The first one that opens to the balcon was occupied by Tita Jovit (Jovita, Cora's sister) and myself. The second one that opens to the sala/living area was occupied by Lola Azon and Tio Ato and family when they visited and the third one which opens to the comedor/dining area was occupied by Lolo Judge (Ramiro Relova, Loreto's husband) and Lola Loring. The 3rd room has a door that connects to the toilet/bath. (I recently had a division made to make the toilet separate from the bath during the renovation of the house).

There is no partition between the sala and comedor. When we were young a cabinet was used as partition. The front of the cabinet faced the dining room. The back of the cabinet faced the living room and the old piano was placed there. Actually the furniture pieces were moved around. The location of the living room set now is the best placement. 

There was a sliding door that was the partition between the dining room and the kitchen. The kitchen was smaller until Lola had it renovated. We had no gas or electric stove. We had a “Kalan” (clay stove) that was made of ash. Charcoal, firewood and “bunot” (coconut husk) were used as fire. I remember that there were three parts so three dishes can be cooked at the same time. Can you imagine how hard it was then? Often there was a lot of smoke but there was a continuous flow of air then so it was not so bad. It is said that the food taste better with this method of cooking.There was also a storage room  in the kitchen for (rice) “bigas”, salt etc. and I think a motor to pump water up the house. The pipes of the house was connected to free flow water fountain in the plaza. There was a stair in front of the toilet/bath used to go down to the first floor “silong” (basement).

The “silong” was where the "katulong" (household help) stayed, where the “sampayan” (clothes line when it rains) was, and the “bodega” - storage for the newly harvested and unmilled rice” palay”. Large blocks of ice were also stored there, covered by palay husks (and they never melted!) Lola Loring also had pens for hens that laid eggs and chickens for our food. I hardly went down because the flooring was not yet cemented and it was a bit dark. 

Lola Azon planted a number of fruit trees. We had macopa (java apple), suha (grapefruit), lanzones (similar to lychee), balimbing (star fruit), duhat (java plum), santol (cotton fruit) and yambo (plum apple). Only the macopa (as old as the house) and the balimbing survives. The duhat in front of the house (by the gate) is only around 20 years old.  

There was a “labahan” wash area for clothes at the back of the house. There was a continuous flow of water because of the pipe that was connected to the free flow fountain. There was a huge “kawa” or cauldron where the water fell and we (Tita Jovit and Tito Vic - Vic Del Mundo, Cora's first cousin and son of Renato Del Mundo) used to pretend “swim” or just fooled around and bothered the lavandera (washer woman) . Sadly, I do not know what happened to the “kawa”.

General cleaning of the house was done twice a year, certainly before the Flores de Mayo and I think after the New Year.  Wives of tenants would come (around 4 ladies) and would work for free but they are fed very well and given travel fare and rice to bring home. It is called “panunulungan”. The ladies used “is-is” (ficus leaves) to scour the “pasamano” (window sill) and the floor before waxing. They used “walis na tingting” (broomstick) for the ceiling, walls, iron works followed by “basahan” (rag) soaked in water with soap in “palangana” (basin). I think it took them 2 days to clean everything. Then a male "katulong" (hired help) would wax the floor manually (very labor-intensive), then used “bunot” (coconut husk) to make it shine “lampaso”. I loved the smell of floor wax and the super clean house. One of the ladies was Aling Dulay who loved to bring Michael (Cora's son) fresh eggs.

I also remember that there was a carpet for the sala set. For cleaning the help would hang it on two chairs on the sidewalk in front of the house and beat it with a walis na tingting (broomstick). The lavandera (washerwoman) would also use the sidewalk to sun-dry clothes before rinsing. 

Lola Azon would sweep the leaves on the ground with “walis tingting” everyday at around 4pm and I loved helping her. The leaves were piled up and burned because it drove the mosquitoes away. Every household did it. But in modern times, due to global warming and fumes, the municipal government forbade the burning of anything.

The wood used for the building of the house was mainly narra. Lola Loring (Loreto Del Mundo, daughter of Corazon Rivera) said that the panels with carvings that divides the rooms from the sala and comedor were made in Paete, Laguna. The windows in the rooms are made of wood with capiz shells. The flooring is also made of narra planks and the ceiling is made of wide solid narra. I remember that the materials used for the lower portion were not sturdy so it was cemented to better support the house. 

After lunchtime and cleaning the kitchen was done, the help would iron clothes in the kitchen area with a plantsadora (iron). I remember that before the electric iron a heavy metal contraption with wood handle filled with burning charcoal was used (now considered an antique). The help would also listen to telenovelas on the radio. We were required to have an afternoon nap “siesta”, and we laid on banigs (woven mast) spread out in the living room.

[PROLOGUE]

Colorado winters weren’t all too crazy, however up in the mountains at Tolkien’s family owned lodge, it was. The cold bitter wind was a wake up call if you stepped foot outside and the good four feet or more of snow was enough to quickly bury anyone in, if they weren’t being careful. Outside the lodge looked cold and uninviting, the snow piled high on top of the roof, icicles hanging down off the edges, the cold wind brushing snow against the sides. But inside?

Inside the lodge it was warm and full of life, a small party held by a group of friends was just beginning to die down. A few were tired, lazing around as the party dwindled down; Butters, the only one to have retired early for the night, stood inside his room, staring out the window. Those who were still up and eager to joke around were Bebe, Y/n, Stan, Kyle, Wendy, Kenny, and Eric, and all of them had a fun idea.

Bebe holds a piece of paper in her hand, her eyes scanning its contents with a sly grin spreading across her lips. As if lost in deep thought, she walks slowly towards a nearby Bed it was perfectly made, and with a flip of her wrist, sets it down with a thud.

Suddenly, Y/n's voice rings out, startling Bebe. "Oh, my God! I can't believe you actually did that," exclaims Y/n, her eyes wide as saucers. But Bebe is quick to shush her, placing her index finger in front of her lips.

"Shhh... shhh... shhh..." whispers Bebe, looking around the room to make sure no one else was around.

This sudden commotion attracts the attention of Stan and Wendy, who walk over to the room, where they find the two girls standing closely together. "Don't you guys think this is a little bit cruel?" asks Stan, his eyebrows furrowed with concern.

Wendy, however, is quick to defend Bebe's actions. "Oh, come on, she deserves it. After all, she's been making googly eyes at Tolkien for weeks now."

Stan lets out a sigh. "It's not her fault that she has a huge crush on him, you know?"

Bebe interjects, "Nichole's been making moves on him. I'm just looking out for myself in the long run."

With that, Bebe turns around and begins to walk away. But Y/n, Stan, and Wendy follow, eager to see what Bebe has planned next.

As the group of teenagers made their way through the hallway, the sound of their footsteps echoed through the wooden beams of the lodge. The smell of pine and woodsmoke filled the air, adding to the rustic charm of the place. With each step, their excitement continued to bubble up, as they were finally reunited with their friends Kenny and Kyle.

Bebe, always the passionate one, couldn't help but make her feelings known. "Just because he's D1, doesn't mean he belongs to everyone. Tolkien is my man," she exclaimed as they walked down the hall. But Kyle was quick to retort, "Bebe, he's not anyone's man." A playful banter between the two ensued, and Wendy, Y/n, and even Stan laughed along with them.

As they approached the guest room, where they planned to rendezvous with the rest of their group, Kyle made his way upstairs to find and warn Nichole. "Nichole!" he called out, his voice echoing through the empty corridor. Meanwhile, the rest of the group snuck into Tolkien's empty bedroom.

Wendy crouched behind a partition with Stan, trying to suppress her giggles. Kenny and Eric snuck into the cabinets, determined to stay hidden. Eric pressed the record button on his phone, hoping to catch some hilarious footage. Bebe and Y/n, on the other hand, decided to hide under the bed, waiting for the perfect opportunity to make their move.

As they waited, the tension in the room built. Every sound made their muscles tense up, and they held their breath as they heard approaching footsteps. Finally, they heard the sound of the door creaking open, and the girls stifled their laughter. "Oop!... She's here. Shh!" Y/n whispered to Bebe.

The group was all in on the prank, and they couldn't wait to see Nichole’s unsuspecting reaction. The excitement and adrenaline pumping through their veins as they prepared to pull off their prank made their hearts race. As they looked around at each other, ready for the perfect moment to strike.

[TIME] 2:00 AM

Butters, continuing to watch the snow as it slowly descends outside as the wind dies down, notices a man standing outside, his body partly covered by the trees and snow covered brush.

Butters gasps in shock and feels his body jolt back, he blinks and heads back to the window, staring at the spot the unknown man once stood, rubbing his eyes in confusion at the lack of a body being there any longer.

He runs out his bedroom door and heads over to tell somebody what he had just seen when he notices Nichole’s bedroom door ajar. As he opens it up slowly, he calls out, “Nichole? You in here?” with no response, Butters opens the door fully, taking in the room.

A small note lays on her bed and Butters picks it up

“Nichole..” Butters reads, “you are the girl that I’ve always wanted and I’ve been nervous to fully commit to saying this, meet me in the guest room at 2:00am, I have to show you what I really feel for you. Yours truly, Tolkien.”

Groaning, Butters sets the letter down and heads downstairs, “this cannot be good”, he thinks.

As Nichole approached the room, she felt a mix of excitement and nervousness bubbling inside of her. She had received a note from Tolkien, inviting her to meet him there, and she couldn't help but wonder what he had in store for her. As she entered the room, she spotted Tolkien immediately, and a smile spread across her face.

"Glad you could make it," Tolkien greeted her, his voice low and sultry.

Nichole felt a shiver run down her spine as she replied, "Of course. What did you have in mind?"

Tolkien grinned, then leaned in to whisper in her ear, "Maybe we should start with a little, you know, making out, and see where it goes from there."

Nichole's heart raced as she nodded, her body already tingling with anticipation. She began to remove her shirt, but a sudden commotion caught her attention.

"Oh, my God! She's taking her shirt off!" Bebe giggled.

Nichole froze, confused and embarrassed as she had begun to undress as well. As more of her friends revealed themselves from their hiding places, she began to feel a sinking sensation in her stomach.

"Tolkien? What are you doing here?!" she demanded, turning to face him.

"I'm sorry, Nicki. This all got outta hand, but..." Tolkien trailed off, looking guilty.

Kyle burst into the room, calling out Nichole's name, “Nichole! Nichole, hey, Nicki.... Don't... it's just a..” but it was too late. She was already on the verge of tears, her eyes watering as she realized what was happening.

"Stupid prank," Kyle muttered angrily, his gaze flickering over the group of friends.

"Ugh... damn!" Eric chimed in, clearly irritated with the situation.

"You guys are jerks. You know that?" Kyle spat out, his anger directed at his friends.

Kyle followed in Nichole's footsteps, calling out to the girl as she exited the room. Meanwhile, Tolkien rushed after Nichole, determined to make things right.

"Nichole!" Kyle called out, but it was too late. The damage had been done.

[TIME] 2:04 AM

As Butters enters the main room, Nichole runs past him and outside, noticing it was Nichole, he runs out after her calling her name, “Nichole! Nichole, there is someone outside!” Seeing how far she had gone already, Butters sighs as he heads back inside the lodge’s main room.

“What the hell?” He asks himself in disbelief and then he hears a faint call out of “Nichole” from Kyle and he looks up as everyone else enters into the room.

“Can someone tell me what’s going on? Where is Nichole heading off too?”

Bebe makes a noise of annoyance and rolls her eyes, “She just can’t take a joke, it’s whatever..it’s fine, Butters.”

“It was just a prank, Nichole!” You yell out, waving your arms, irritated at what you believed was childish behavior.

“What the hell..did you do?” Butters exclaims, anger and shock evident in his voice.

Tolkien puts his hands up in defeat, “We were just messing around, Butters.”

“Yeah it wasn’t serious!” Kenny chimes in.

Butters slips his shoes on and scoffs at the rest of the group, “You guys are such jerks you know that? What is wrong with you all?” As he finishes his sentence, Butters runs out the door in the direction that he had last seen Nichole head off too to go search for her.

The rest of the group can hear Butters faintly call out for Nichole as he heads off searching for her, and they then awkwardly turn to one another. Stan clears his throat, “Do we…go after him and search for Nichole too..?”

Kyle crosses his arms and his eyebrows furrowed, obviously displeased with the group, “You know, I think you guys are the last people she’d like to see right now.”

[TIME] 2:11 AM

The wind howled past Butters' ears as he called out Nichole's name into the cold, snowy darkness. The fog was thick, and visibility was nearly zero. He stumbled over tree branches, his boots crunching through the snow. Butters knew he couldn't afford to be cautious. Every second counted, and Nichole's life might be hanging in the balance.

As he climbed over a particularly gnarled branch, Butters lost his footing and tripped, tumbling to the ground. He scrambled up quickly, shaking snow from his coat, and continued moving. His heart raced, and sweat beads formed on his forehead. The adrenaline was pumping in his veins, fueling his urgency.

A flight of stairs loomed before him, with a sign pointing to two routes: the faster, riskier path or the safer, more time-consuming route. Without a second thought, Butters chose the faster route. It was a decision he might soon come to regret.

As he hurtled down the steps, he approached the edge of the staircase. He surveyed the potential drop and made a split-second choice to jump, landing safely on the ground below. Butters had made it past the first obstacle, but the journey was far from over.

A noise drew his attention, and Butters caught sight of a series of footprints leading into the distance. Without a moment's hesitation, he set off in pursuit, noticing a herd of elk in his path. The animals scattered in alarm, and Butters swore under his breath, feeling his heart pounding in his chest.

As he drew nearer to Nichole's location, he reached another fork in the path. He had to choose between following a shadow or a set of footprints, and he made another quick decision. He followed the shadow, racing past the footprints.

Suddenly, Butters saw the outline of a balcony looming ahead, and he leaped, trusting in his instincts. He landed with a thud, and a sharp pain shot through his ankle. Undeterred, he pressed onward, pausing only to use his phone as a makeshift flashlight in the dark.

Butters, with a sense of urgency, crouched down in the snow to grab hold of the totem sticking out. As his slender fingers wrapped around the totem, he felt a sudden rush of energy pass through his entire being, bringing with it visions that flooded his mind. He tried to make sense of the jumbled up pictures flashing before his eyes, but they whisked past him too quickly, like butterflies flitting in the sun. Suddenly, amidst the chaos, he saw a crystal-clear image that left him shaken to the core.

It was him and Nichole, falling weightlessly through a void, their screams echoing through the emptiness. It was a devastating sight that shook Butters to his very core. Gasping for air, he muttered in disbelief, "Huh? Nichole!, What is this?" There was a moment of silence, a lull that tricked Butters into thinking everything was over, but then a sudden movement made him jump out of his skin.

Unhooking his eyes from the totem, Butters scanned his surroundings, worried that something was watching him. Something he couldn't see. A few seconds later, he crouched down again to assess the totem, but in the back of his mind, the warning bell began to ring. As he hesitated, lost in thought, he heard the familiar sound of human voices.

It was Nichole, who had been traversing the snowy terrain behind him, and sensing his unease, came running to his location. "Butters, what's happening?," she asked, unperturbed by the chill that had crept into her bones. Butters, still dazed by the vision he had seen, looked up to see Nichole staring at him with expectant eyes.

Panic written all over his face, he felt a gust of wind hit him squarely in the face. It was then that he realized that he was freezing cold, and probably on the verge of hypothermia. Nichole, sensing the same, looked at him quizzically. "What was it?" she asked, but before Butters could answer, he said, almost instinctively, "Take my coat, you need it more than I do."

Nichole, sensing the gravity of their situation, took the coat wordlessly, draping it around herself, and thanking Butters wordlessly. And as they looked at each other, Butters couldn't help but feel a sense of unease settling over him. "We need to get out of here," he said, holding his hand out to pull Nichole to her feet.

They trudged on in silence, the cold enveloping them like a cocoon as they walked, changing everything around them into a strange, almost timeless place. It was as if they had entered another realm, where time worked differently, and the rules were different.

Nichole broke the silence. "I'm such an idiot! I'm so dumb..."

Butters, sensing her insecurity, looked at her and smiled. "No, you're not," he said, a sense of compassion warming his voice. "We just got unlucky. But we'll be fine, we'll get out of here soon."

Nichole looked at Butters, feeling a sense of hope settle over her. She knew she was lucky to have him by her side, no matter how things turned out.

As the view switches into a predator-like vision, the once peaceful environment transforms into a place where danger lurks in every corner. The view scans the area, searching for any heat signatures that signify prey. Suddenly, the vision locks onto Butters and Nichole, who are running for their lives from an unknown entity. The two friends are completely unaware of what is pursuing them until they hear a blood-curdling screech ring out in the night air.

The sound sends shivers down their spines and a sense of pure adrenaline kicks in, forcing them to run even faster. Butters and Nichole race towards a nearby bridge, desperate to escape their invisible attacker. However, as they make their way across the rickety old structure, Nichole trips and falls, almost immediately halting their efforts to escape.

Butters rushes to her side and helps her stand up again, but as they hurriedly continue running towards safety, he accidentally drops his phone through the floorboards. Undeterred, they keep moving forward, only to find themselves at a dead end with nowhere left to run.

Butters curses under his breath, his fear-fueled mind racing as they look out over the cliff at the thing that's now getting closer and closer. Both of them grasp onto each other's hands tightly, willing each other to be strong.

Butters desperately pleads with the entity, hoping that somehow it will understand and leave them alone. The unknown creature continues to approach, its sight fixed on the vulnerable prey before it. Butters is almost beside himself with terror, screaming, "Get back!"

The view switches to Nichole, her eyes wide, her breathing ragged. She knows she's in mortal danger, and she's acutely aware of how fragile their situation is. There's no way out, and they're both rapidly running out of time.

Suddenly, both of them fall, Butters barely managing to grab onto a branch underneath the cliff as Nichole tumbles towards the edge. With all the strength he can muster, he holds onto the branch but looks on helplessly as his friend falls over the cliff.

All of Butters' hopes and dreams flash before his eyes, realizing that saving himself is impossible. He turns to the unknown man who has finally appeared to help, with only two choices in front of him, neither of which he wants to make. With tears streaming down his face, Butters makes the agonizing decision to let go of Nichole.

As he looks over at Nichole, his body racked with sobs, he reaches out hopelessly for the man's hand. In the next moment, the branch snaps, and Butters plummets down into the dark abyss of the mines below.

His back slams against an unforgiving rock, killing him instantly. Butters' body tumbles and tumbles, a mere rag doll who has been entirely defeated by the events of the night. When at last his limp form comes to a rest, it's right next to Nichole's body.

The once beautiful night has been transformed into a dark and terrifying nightmare, with loss and death the only outcomes. This impossible situation will stay with anyone who witnessed it for years to come, the memory of Butters' and Nichole's tragic ending etched on their minds forever.

High Tree Hall, seat of House Archer and Medieval! Lord Oromë

Rules and tag form here | Prompts for requests here.

A/n: Silverwood tree is something I invented purely for this AU.

High Tree Hall is located deep within the ancient forests of Hunter’s Pass. The forests are rarely, if ever, infiltrated by an enemy, as the trees form confusing paths and dead-ends similar to the Labyrinth of Alqualondë. Still, elves and attendants loyal to Lord Oromë carry out regular patrols in and around the forests. Any guests or outsiders visiting High Tree are met on the outskirts of Hunter’s Pass and led down winding paths on horseback while blindfolded.

High Tree Hall and its outer buildings are surrounded by a curtain wall made of stone and mortar. There are two gates, the Hunter’s Gate and the River Gate, and the curtain wall has four bastions facing different directions.

High Tree has its own water supply due to the presence of pools fed by underground springs. Despite this, wells have been dug into the earth in case of necessity.

1.High Tree Hall: High Tree is a long house built around a giant Silverwood tree, and the structure itself is made out of a mixture of roughly hewn stone and mortar and thick wooden bark. The lower branches of the redwood tree spread out beneath the roof.

High Tree has one floor above ground, along with a basement. The floor above ground is partitioned into three separate sections. One corner section is for Oromë’s personal use. This section comprises a bath chamber, a small hall for when Oromë wishes to hold private meetings with his advisors, a little library, Oromë’s bed chamber, and his own armory. The other end is sectioned into small, but well-appointed bed chambers for Oromë’s guests. Each room has its own private bath. 

The center portion of High Tree is called the Great Hall. This hall is used for feasts, dances, and larger meetings. Even on days when there are no planned meetings or festivities, the residents of High Tree would all gather here for their daily meals. Pelts of animals slain during hunts are spread out all over the floor and furnishings, and the skulls are hung on the walls. There are no fireplaces here, only braziers and beeswax candles. The basement comprises a kitchen and cellar. Like all of the Great Houses of Valinor, High Tree has its own ice cellar.

2.The Stables

3.The Kennels

4.The warehouse and stores

5.These buildings are used by Oromë’s warriors, attendants, and their families. Each building comes complete with its own armory.

6.These buildings are used by Oromë’s servants and their families.

7.These buildings are guest manses, and are used to house the retinue of Oromë’s guests.

All buildings listed under 5, 6, and 7 come with their own bathhouse.

Passing

BY NOAH BALDINO

The Ware Collection of Blaschka Glass Models of Plants, Harvard Museum of Natural History

The ovaries, when splayed, resemble sliced tomatoes. Or rose windows,

each geometry precise enough to praise. I want to press my tongue

against the bloodroot petal, to run its stamen along my slick shelf of

teeth like a man might with a wheat stalk. Four times so far other tourists

have taken me for a gallery attendant. In the glass, a slow-

sidling crimson spreads over my own skewed reflection: a hesitant

teen in a Harvard hoodie, the fifth, leans in to ask, Excuse me, sir?

Are they really glass? — a testament to how my binder encases

my breasts, my faith in the plum yew’s fruit- shorn frenzy. Dense clusters teeming

with their separate blossoms, any unknowing eye might think they were

living. But I know the lilac’s tell: two blemishes, bulbous where some

hot glass mis-dripped, then caught forever in the filament. Sometimes, I think

I’ll wake to find they’ve finally trickled off me in the night, pooled

molten down the bed and gathered back again. I might thrash off both breasts

in a sleepless fit, or could unfurl my clit like a pollen basket passed

from a honeybee’s hind legs to the hive. It makes its secret

seen. I can only answer yes. Yes, They’re real. I mean, they’re really glass.

You could snap a stem between fingers with such a slight force, one stark blink — 

the flies flitting the gallery would fear the weight of their own landing,

thick wings rapt still. When the public, in their distressed astonishment,

demanded to know how the Blaschkas transported the models without

a fracture in even one pistil, Leopold Blaschka revealed his own

elaborate process: pack each flower tightly in its cardboard

cradle, then strap them down with strong wire to restrict movement, and set each, at last,

in a wooden box wrapped with burlap. They drove them straight from Manhattan

in two hearses. The drivers, of course, wore black suits. Onlookers parted

to allow their small procession past. I like it here, with everyone

focused on the flowers. Hunched, kneeling, as if suspicious, still doubting,

the teen eyes two tiny zinnias, then moves on to another case.

I’ve seen many leave unsatisfied. They can’t bear to be partitioned — 

how can I blame them? Someone made these with their body. They let their breath

unspool to form each impossible bud, crafted every flower’s fold,

then waited on the heat to break to hold just one, wearing special gloves.

Wouldn’t anyone wish for just one lie among a garden this precise?

One daisy swapped out in secret, switched with a common courtyard flower,

now waiting for someone to notice its wilt while its counterparts keep

all their glisten. It does seem to me true punishment: never to change.

Unflinching forever. Sometimes, near closing, when the hall becomes quiet,

I really do believe they’re real.

Creating Versatile Spaces with Collapsible Partition Walls

In the modern era, the demand for adaptable and multifunctional spaces is on the rise. As our living and working environments evolve, so does the need for innovative solutions that maximize space efficiency. One of the most practical and stylish ways to achieve this flexibility is through the use of collapsible partition walls. These versatile partitions provide a seamless blend of functionality and aesthetics, making them an essential addition to contemporary interiors.

The Growing Popularity of Collapsible Partition Walls

Collapsible partition walls have gained immense popularity in recent years, and for good reason. These walls are designed to be easily moved or folded, allowing you to reconfigure your space as needed. Whether you're in a bustling office, a cozy home, or a lively event space, collapsible partition walls can adapt to various requirements, offering an ideal solution for dynamic environments.

In offices, the open-plan design trend often leads to a noisy and distracting atmosphere. Collapsible partition walls provide a quick fix by creating private meeting rooms or quiet workspaces without the need for permanent construction. This flexibility not only fosters a more productive environment but also allows businesses to adapt their layouts in response to changing team sizes or project needs.

Home Applications: From Compact Living to Expansive Interiors

In residential settings, collapsible partition walls offer homeowners the ability to make the most of their available space. In small apartments or homes, these partitions can be used to divide a room into functional zones, such as separating a living area from a workspace or creating a temporary guest room. Their ability to fold away when not needed ensures that space is only used when necessary, maintaining a sense of openness and flow.

For larger homes, collapsible partition walls can be employed to create intimate areas within expansive spaces. Imagine a grand living room that can be transformed into a cozy dining area for a family dinner or an open entertainment space for gatherings. These walls provide the versatility to cater to both everyday living and special occasions.

Event Spaces and Beyond

Beyond residential and office applications, collapsible partition walls are a staple in event planning and hospitality. Hotels, conference centers, and banquet halls frequently use these walls to customize their spaces for events of varying sizes. From large conventions to intimate weddings, collapsible partition walls allow venues to optimize their layouts, ensuring each event is perfectly tailored to its requirements.

Design and Materials: A Blend of Functionality and Aesthetics

Modern collapsible partition walls come in a variety of designs and materials to suit different aesthetic preferences and functional needs. They can be made from glass, wood, fabric, or metal, each offering unique advantages. Glass partitions, for instance, provide a sense of openness and light, ideal for spaces where maintaining a visual connection is important. Wooden or fabric partitions, on the other hand, can add warmth and texture, enhancing the coziness and acoustic properties of a room.

In summary, collapsible partition walls are an invaluable asset for creating flexible, efficient, and visually appealing spaces. Their ability to adapt to different environments and needs makes them a preferred choice for both residential and commercial interiors.

As our lifestyles and work habits continue to evolve, these innovative partitions will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping the spaces we live and work in. Whether you're looking to maximize your office productivity, optimize your home layout, or customize an event space, collapsible partition walls offer a practical and stylish solution to meet your needs.

Chasing Shadows: The Secrets Behind Sliding Doors

Sliding doors have become an integral part of modern interior design, adding both functionality and aesthetic appeal to homes and commercial spaces. With their sleek lines and smooth operation, sliding doors offer a unique blend of elegance and practicality.

But what lies behind their growing popularity? In this blog post, we delve into the intriguing world of flexible sliding doors solutions, uncovering their history, types, materials, installation, and much more.

The Functionality of Sliding Doors

One of the primary reasons for the widespread adoption of sliding doors is their practical benefits. Unlike conventional hinged doors, sliding doors do not require additional space for opening and closing, making them ideal for areas with limited space.

This space-saving advantage is particularly beneficial in small apartments, offices, and commercial spaces where maximising every square inch is crucial.

Sliding doors also contribute to an open and flexible room layout. They can serve as room dividers, allowing spaces to be easily transformed from open-plan to private areas. Additionally, sliding doors provide ease of access and can be designed to accommodate accessibility needs, making them a versatile option for various environments.

Types of Sliding Doors

The market offers a diverse range of sliding doors, each catering to different preferences and functional requirements. Here are some popular types:

Pocket Doors

Pocket doors slide into a compartment within the wall, disappearing entirely when open. They are an excellent choice for areas where space is at a premium and a clean, unobstructed look is desired.

Barn Doors

Barn doors have a rustic charm and slide along a track mounted above the door frame. They are often used in interior design to create a statement piece and add a touch of vintage or industrial style.

Bypass Doors

Bypass doors consist of two or more panels that slide past each other on parallel tracks. They are commonly used for closets and storage areas, providing easy access without requiring additional floor space.

Accordion Doors

Accordion doors fold in sections as they slide open, making them a practical choice for dividing larger spaces or creating temporary partitions. They are often used in commercial settings, such as conference rooms or banquet halls.

Materials Used in Sliding Doors

Sliding doors can be crafted from a variety of materials, each offering distinct advantages and aesthetic qualities. Here are some common materials used:

Wood

Wooden sliding doors exude warmth and timeless appeal. They are available in various finishes and can be customised to match different interior styles. However, wood requires regular maintenance to prevent warping and damage from moisture.

Glass

Glass sliding doors create a sense of openness and allow natural light to flow between spaces. They can be clear, frosted, or tinted, offering different levels of privacy. Glass doors are easy to clean but may require occasional polishing to maintain their clarity.

Metal

Metal solid materials, often made from aluminium or steel, provide durability and a contemporary look. They are resistant to corrosion and require minimal maintenance. Metal doors are an excellent choice for modern and industrial interiors.

Composite Materials

Composite sliding doors combine different materials, such as wood and metal, to offer enhanced performance and aesthetics. They can provide the best of both worlds, balancing the beauty of wood with the durability of metal.

Installation Process

Installing sliding doors can be a rewarding DIY project, but it requires careful planning and execution. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you through the installation process:

Step 1: Measure and Prepare

Measure the door opening and ensure that the sliding door kit fits the dimensions. Prepare the area by removing any existing doors and clearing the space where the new door will be installed.

Step 2: Install the Track

Mount the track or rail system according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure that it is level and securely fastened to the wall or ceiling.

Step 3: Attach the Door

Attach the door panels to the rollers or hangers provided in the kit. Carefully lift the door and guide it onto the track, ensuring it slides smoothly.

Step 4: Adjust and Secure

Adjust the door's alignment and ensure it operates correctly. Secure any additional components, such as handles or locks, as per the manufacturer's guidelines.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Check for any gaps or misalignments and make the necessary adjustments. Clean the door and track it, and test the door's functionality to ensure everything is in working order.

Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance is essential to prolong the lifespan of sliding doors and ensure they continue to function smoothly. Here are some maintenance tips:

Regular Cleaning

Clean the door panels and track regularly to remove dust and debris. Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth for wooden doors, and a glass cleaner for glass doors.

Lubrication

Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the track and rollers to ensure smooth operation. Avoid using oil-based lubricants, as they can attract dirt and cause buildup.

Inspection

Inspect the door components periodically for signs of wear or damage. Tighten any loose screws or bolts and replace worn-out parts promptly.

Enhancing Aesthetics with Sliding Doors

Sliding doors can be more than just functional elements; they can also enhance the aesthetics of your space. Here are some creative ideas:

Frosted Glass

Use frosted glass panels for a balance of privacy and light diffusion. Frosted glass can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any room.

Decorative Hardware

Choose unique handles, knobs, and track systems to add character to your sliding doors. Decorative hardware can transform a simple door into a stunning focal point.

Bold Colors

Experiment with bold and vibrant colours to make a statement. Painting or staining wooden sliding doors can add a pop of colour and personality to your interior design.

Mirrored Panels

Incorporate mirrored panels to create a sense of space and light. Mirrored sliding doors are ideal for bedrooms and closets, adding both functionality and style.

Security Considerations

While sliding doors offer many benefits, security is a common concern. Here are some measures to enhance the security of sliding doors:

Sturdy Locks

Ensure that your sliding doors are equipped with high-quality locks. Multi-point locking systems provide additional security compared to simple latch locks.

Security Bars

Install security bars or rods along the bottom track to prevent the door from being lifted off its track. This simple addition can significantly enhance security.

Shatter-Resistant Glass

Opt for laminated or tempered glass, which is more resistant to breakage. Shatter-resistant glass can deter intruders and provide peace of mind.

Conclusion

Sliding doors are not just practical solutions; they are versatile design elements that can transform the look and functionality of any space. From their rich history to the various types and materials available, sliding doors offer endless possibilities for both residential and commercial settings.

By understanding the installation process, maintenance requirements, and security considerations, you can make informed decisions and enjoy the many benefits that sliding doors bring to your environment.

So, whether you are looking to save space, enhance aesthetics, or simply add a touch of elegance to your home or business, quality sliding door suppliers in Sydney are a worthy investment. Explore the world of sliding doors and discover the secrets behind their enduring appeal.

YD6~14 Journey Crafting Duro Industries' Labyrinth

Subscribe + Comment = Editor, or, what age group of the reader, the gender, in a sentence your opinion. Thank You!

Flash Memoir chronicle Chapter 14:

I’m driving the Western Bypass on Wednesday advanced morning trickle of traffic, until with executive privileges, coast turning with sight on the parked tail of cars on the gritty apron fronting Duro Industries’ administrative strip building halt in front of residential windows. With the ignition key tweak, I step from behind the door, with sight across the apron, a pair of meranti doors. I step across the threshold with the door leaf swing, clearing the shadowing walk-up. I step across the hallway with a glimpse at the telephonist women framed in the portrait hatches. 

I grasped the reticent door leaf, with shifting eyesight, as a hydraulic pressure swinging back to reveal a dimly lit ante-room. In a few strides, closing behind as my eyesight traversed a right glazed partitioned room to a system engineer standing among mainframe computers. From the man bearing a spectral language with his stance, I glimpse I diverted without consciousness, taking a light reflecting an abandoned IBM Personal Computer on a small wooden desk with a matching chair. While I’m heading to an abruptly drawn to a central H-steel column. I diverted from Shandoo, Hilton’s trusted assistant, standing preoccupied with a clerk behind a desk surrounded by filing cabinets. Search by a weird by-gone pool of ghostly bookkeepers, dipping quills into inkwell, hunched over open accounting ledgers. lofted yellowed fluorescent tubes expanding with a flush shady ceiling. a gloom sandwiched chill atmosphere.

I wove through desks right a diagonal course, right scanning the margin glass topped wainscot-panel partitioned offices to flash wood-laminated doors. I headed for the inviting doorway light, to figuring Hilton Rogoff’s hunched silhouette against the window. I neared to arouse his spectacles from an intense reading the crawl of printed digits, his gaze leaping the near desk littered with papers. Upon spotting me in the doorway, Hilton, with a decisive, telling gaze. ‘_Let me get this over with._’ He rose to his feet, restless and jittery in his small stature, to contour from behind his desktop cluttered with papers. I stepped back, on his way out, in a friendly tone says. “Come!” He weaved through vacant desks toward my earlier entryway, to pause in the niche, dropping a gaze onto the IBM PC, stating, “Here you are...”

As Hilton sweeps his gaze from my workplace, returning to his department, I pulled the chair, to release the backrest, and reach far back along the CPU box flank to the rear. Flick the switch, I observed the blue screen’s autoexec.bat text streaming lines, booting, pondering, “What’s on your mind?“ When offside, up walks the old man Eidelstein. He paused with an open shirt collar and a prominent belly, as if he instructed the reception to announce my arrival. He said, “Come, I’ll show you...”

I rose from my chair, following the footsteps of the old-man Eidelstein, lending me the door pressure to close behind. Passed by the paired women earphones’ headband in their hairs, talking with the hatch windows’ glaze their minds. At the end of hallway’s wing, Eidelstein’s eyes in anticipation behind the door. He cranks the door lever, strides past the swinging back door. I catch the door to the middle aisle through ghostly clerks to desks in the logistic hall. Eidelstein shears off, turning left away from a few figures engrossed by a desk and tall filing cabinets at the far street window corner. He approached a double pressed metal door frame, egressed by the painted doors to a shadowy courtyard, off right an expansion offered shelter to a former driveway, scattered massive riffled edges on steel coils—Tobianski’s signature, acquitted at insurance auctions of damaged goods. 

The old man, Eidelstein, strides across the breezeway into the shadows of the darkened iron industrial open-air shelter. We approach a native machinist’s handing a sheet's tongue on a wind-off reel’s silver metal steel coil, who squares up to the imposing hydraulic press. The machinist’s boot presses on the pedal, which ensued a concrete floor rumble. He retrieves wobbling between his hands a 2032 millimeters long blade. Handed to an assistant on standby, a machinist himself, carrying the wobbly blade, slotted the next bulging black machine’s jig—clack—rumble, retrieving the jagged blade’s ends, punched for a mitered end.

Machinists in blue overalls, from other jigged press, passing blades among themselves—clack—thump, as the black monsters punch along the blades’ length three buffer rubber holes, a middle lock latch, near the extremes hinge slots. A time and motion, as machinists’ hands proceed with blades piling up alongside black monster of a table agape. From spread hands, he fed and hold, to foot while pressing a bend. Forms the doorjamb, replace on the press, bend again, flip, with another fold forming a door rebate, with the architrave collar.

The man in blue, at hands a slender jamb, which he carries toward racks. Stack upright on the floor, labeled with the most popular dimensions of 114 width by 2032 in height. The jambs widespread along the shed’s darkened (IBR) Inverted Box Rib sheet metal cladding, the variations to the least common afar.

The old-man Eidelstein turns ambling to pauses, at natives in blues a bar to an old fashion monstrous press which snaps mitered ends shortening the feeding bar. Window frames and sashes’ element short lengths falling off stacked on the floor. He leads on with a pause by welders adorned wear, thick leather aprons, long thick gloves, heavy boots, and a hood, in cabins’ to dreary welding vinyl curtain frying flash burn—But what explains, “On-site service.” A man’s hands knock and twist sashes to fine closing before glazing — With a welder paired juxtaposed mitered rail and stile bar, ends culminate in a jig forge white heat smelting butt. Exiting the shed, alongside overhead doors and windows suspended on a trolley conveyor chain veering in the courtyard. But right across approached the middle-aged flabby crooked dispatch manager, walking the driveway riffling at hand delivery notes. With Eidelstein, I walked down the driveway behind the dispatch manager, leaving the flatbed horse and trailer Mercedes in the driveway. As he left, a few natives toil along the elevated loading platform to enter and exit the series of warehouse doors. In the shadows’ shine, leaning back stacked door frames and windows against the rear party wall.

The dispatch manager turns the corner away from the facing paired workshop’s rolled up doors. He steps alongside the suspended conveying doors and windows, to disappear behind the dark factory shed’s corner. I emerged, with Eidelstein turning the corner. While he paces, a gnawing patience at ending the tour, with the dispatch manager disappearing a distance short of a security guard at the gateway to the street. While my eyesight lags across the two-way broad driveway, a chief mechanic wax and holds conversing, with long stride from the vacant right repair bay’s shadows lingering a native assistant. Behind me they across the broad concrete yard’s turning circle suitable for horse and trailer to the courtyard's depth. Head toward a few Mercedes stripped to the cabin, undercarriages to remain in part wheeled to salvage Mercedes truck spare parts. 

Mr. Eidelstein marches alongside a silver built-in-cupboard frame suspended from the aerial chain. By a sharp turn, leading doors and windows short of a projecting dispatch office’s plastered and white painted wall. Across the driveway, a figure appears from behind a parked Mercedes truck’s muzzle. The driver heads away from a flatbed caged a load of red oxide doorframes, to disappear. While I’m captured by the red oxide tub, as stalagmites red oxide hooks, dip the silver frames to move and drown along the chain to rise proud in a red hue, dripping dry, to vanish around the corner to the courtyard between the factory shed and the warehouse.

Through paired “ND11F” window frames with side sashes, Mr. Eidelstein steps over the French doors’ threshold, sighing. “_’Here is your job. . ._’ Declaring. “There you are...” He heads straight, leaning right, while in the left corner the dispatch manager dropped off loading papers, fixated on me, exits behind. Left the driver leans on the dispatch counter athwart the room, eyeing a clerk invoicing, in a pool of desks to clerks. 

While across the middle aisle, in the room's rear, a clerk talks a handset speaker cup to his ear, the microphone to his jaw, with the horn attachment hooked on his collarbone. A pen in hand. He riffles an order book, fingers spider crawl, removing carbon papers to slip in between the next pristine pages. Ready to distribute the original, and distribute carbon copy through the administration, and proceed to manufacturing. 

While a dispatch clerk processes delivery notes to accompany the waiting driver on his delivery, Mr. Eidelstein turns away. He strides outside, turns up the driveway. Short of approaching the street, he ascends the perron to a side door niche in the corner. I’m left to catch the door, Mr. Eidelstein distancing along an offside glass partition, to disappear. 

Around the corner, I’m facing the backrest at an angle, catch up as the old-man Eidelstein edges by the coffee table, lowering himself sprawling arms. Hands lay on the matching wide plush couch sides cushions, telling. ‘_Not next to me!_’ But facing his executive suite, walls framed the man’s hobby, pictured with a piper. Meet his glazed eyes, as he figured, in front of the glazed partition, the passageway buffer blurs the sky over the factory sheds’ roof filtering light.  

With an eye, Mr. Eidelstein nods. ‘_Take a seat._’ I’m reticent, with a flashback to my apprenticeship days — With my father, de P’pa, seated in a grandfather chair. While my employer, Mr. Haas, returned from a far corner of the fireplace’s build-in-desk, to present around a box of Cuban cigars. Father doesn’t smoke, but I obliged, picking a cigar. Mr. Haas, the Cuban cigars, to lower himself in the nearby lounge chair, talks to father, but eyed me, smoking, saying. “You’ll never become a Master Builder.” Unfazed. ‘_As if I care. I’ve done two years!_’ The thought of three more years under his foreman, “Oom Jan” was inconceivable. Dizziness overcomes me, but maintained my composure, until shaking hands glade to step outdoors, gulp in fresh air.

Mr. Eidelstein talks, while I’m seated on the edge of the chair. In mind the egress door in the corner of my left eye, to the endless corridor. After his discourse, explaining the sales clerks’ need for a user-friendly order process, he excuses me.

I returned to the niche, contemplating the earlier text scrawled booting, reasoning. ‘_IBM PC! What have you got in your belly?_’ I pull the chair and sit, my fingers type at the “MS-DOS C:\” Prompt entering, “SQL. Enter.” To initiate Oracle’s database and spreadsheet, I alternated glances with the help file reading and testing. A slender figure, appears from behind the door leaf, hailing. “I’m closing up. ‘_You have to leave now._’ Hurried me to my feet, with a swift exit from Oracle, switched off the IBM PC, turning away, mapping my course outdoor to drive across the city to Knowles’ house.

I’m arriving at Duro Industries, settle by the niche IBM PC. Boot text afresh. My mind’s overnight transition from the sentient shadows—The dawn of my soul from the umbra into the penumbra, raising Helios’s aura’s teasing algorithm permeating to interface my refreshed brain. Reveals overnight further the previous day’s Oracle’s database and spreadsheet. My mind decrypt the matrix, about to reveal a blueprint panned, shoveled, organizing in depth my memory. 

With the Oracle Database’s spreadsheet layout on screen. Keying the least common door frame, of government specifications used in the Whitfield School construction, initiated a trial-and-error cell entry row for the input form, to toggle for an outcome between the spreadsheet and the database—.

Like an ethereal peacock’s coif’s smoking plume through my sleep, to a spectral branching canopy in cubism, alchemical Atomium’s 8 peripheral sphere—.

An arboreal rooting brain clasp, with Hydra soul of the central sphere, tentacles at will worming  connecting pipes reach peripheral spheres’s remote minds—.

Every morning I’m typing, “SQL.” flash oracle on screen, keying spreadsheet cells, my head thyme a distant sales office clerk, noting orders from callers. Fazed out a colloquial meaningful imperial-sized, drilled to mind since my apprenticeship, persisting on construction sites.

filling a grid track with a base code. Conduct testing, an adaptable language for the clerks in the sales office. A language is derived from the standard, but tailored to extend the rare sections of the pressed metal door frame. I engage in a colloquial form of coding phrases, rhyming. ‘_One-one-four — two-thirty_,’ Input “114” into the first cell, the predominant residential door frame, In the next cell the door width, “813,” then the height “2032” abbreviating the half-brick wall, plaster-on-both-sides, as “p2.” 

Eidelstein’s son paused by my shoulder, offering a few friendly words, saying. “Try it out… ‘_Tell me what you think of it?’_” He places Norton Utilities’ diskette on the corner of the desk, and proceeds toward the mess room. That evening, heading home, I bring the diskettes with me. When I install the user-friendly software, I sense my body manifests a warming rejoicing love. instead of err  MS-DOS commands jumbled my fingers’ typed letters, two windows, listed folders and files to manage by the menu. 

As I delve into the digitalization of the manufacturing process, after a stroll through the factory, with machinists, in my niche to sit facing the IBM PC screen, in the subsequent weeks, my fingers piano across the keyboard, “SQL “ The screen splash the Oracle database - tick, tick . . . - the hard drive head while flickering light. I code the door frame, “762” variant, “686,” considering the thinner metal gauge. Account for the half-brick wall, a-brick wide, to cavity-wall. From single-door, double-doors. Right-hand, or left, opening-in or -out door frames. One-side-brick, one-side_plaster, to add transom-lights. before I tackle window frames, I saved the files, a preemptive transfer onto the mainframe at integrating the invoicing and accounting process. 

I tackled the yard gates, build-in-cupboard frames, to transformer doors, coding a trail of codes that ends with each product’s price. By mid-morning, an eerie - ring, ring, ring - spread a chill from my spine. Wish to silence the ringing, taking a break from the screen, I grip the handset, to my surprise, Mr. Eidelstein’s voice saying. “Come over to my office!” I hang up the handset, rising from my chair, turn the corner of my desk, pull the hydraulic’s hesitant door, clearing the reception hallway. 

Veering right toward the opening, edging the corner to the narrow corridor. My eyesight navigating through transoms’ light fuzz daylight to the corridor. Midway, across the wall fuzzy stance of daylight, a doorway crack in my approach clears the office to a dour Tobianski. his figure dwarf behind an executive desk, illuminated by slender windows’ light between a pair of pillars. I stepped on, approaching the corridor’s end to an open door. I inched across the threshold clearing the office, offside left, in the dimmed depths, the old-man Eidelstein burly blinding with his desk, my presence catching his eyes. His gaze calls me in.

Returned to my desk, the dot matrix printer - ERRRNK...CHK-CHK...PRRRK - listing my work. I returned to Mr. Eidelstein, handing a neat stack of square continuous paper. Then spun away to coil back into my seat behind the IBM PC monitor. Until I’m breaking - Ring - ring - ring - Mr. Eidelstein called me back. I uncoiled, revert to approach his hefty antiqueish wooden desk, as he leans over a desk pad to the few stacked perforated paper — I saw red, childish likes of my elementary teacher’s corrections — with a welder’s scribbles margin over the black printed ink, and the extent of the blue-bar. Reworded, dwindling from the top, dribbling red ink a third down the page, abandoned rewriting the remaining door frames. 

The burly old-man glare — throwing the sheets of papers fluttering back in my face — contained being misunderstood, saying. “_’This is not user-friendly_!’ How can the sale staff read this?” I realized Eidelstein wasn’t open to hearing me out, I responded without voice. ‘_They’ll get used to codes upfront, a description wrapping up until printing out the invoice_.’
