Antoine carried Zelda all the way up the creaking stairs and down the hall until they found a door ajar into a large, but shabby bedroom. He set her down softly on the floor as the two of them silently looked around the space that was to be their new home.
There were vestiges of warmth even alongside the dilapidation; furniture and keepsakes of the previous inhabitants sat forgotten amidst the ravages of time and the harsh desert landscape. Still the linens were fresh and there was a single jar of flowers left for them by Giorgio.

Zelda looked toward Antoine with a wry smile, seemingly unbothered by their new surroundings, “It’s not quite the gilded palace of your youth, is it?”
Antoine returned the good natured teasing with a smile of his own, before throwing off his jacket and gently pushing her toward the bed. 
Already growing breathless Zelda tried to continue, “What’s a man with more robes than me to do here? One with more shoes than books? Does he give up the fine trappings of city life to become a simple farmer?”

By that point her wedding dress was already over her head and crumpled on the floor, “I don’t care Zelda, they can take it all. I don’t want any of it.”
“No? None…none of it, Mr. Duplanchier? Why’s that?”
“Because you weren’t my wife in that palace. But even if this house crumbles into the sand around us,” his voice trailed off as he buried himself in Zelda’s coiffed hair, “You’re my wife here.”
She reached down to help him with the last of his buttons and looked up to meet his eyes, all good natured teasing settled into a silent tension. Antoine cupped her chin in his hand before pushing her down onto the bed.

why are PJO characters most consistently measured in scales of Michaels?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like. this is some of the most specific height information we have out of most characters, besides maybe Percy being an inch shorter than Jason. The Michaels Scale...

The Sammy Lawrence Art I mentioned in another post!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I literally can't stop drawing him guys, send help 😭 😭 He's such a fascinating character to me, like I need to stick this guy under a microscope and write a 10 page dissertation him. The ink got to him guys. It called to him.
Like, he's an asshole but a lot of it wasn't his fault. He deserved better.
(Design of Sammy heavily based on the Escape AU by @inkdemonapologist!!) (I hope you don't mind the ping, or me taking inspiration from your designs. He's so fun to draw, I love it)

What a difference 90 years makes juxtaposition of Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantiс, 1934 & Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 57 One of One, 2024. A one-off Chiron has been created that references the classic Type 57SC Atlantiс, an icon of the 1930s. The car has been commissioned as a 70th birthday present for a woman whose husband is also a Bugatti owner. She wanted her car to be a tribute to the Type 57SC Atlantiс and worked with Jascha Straub, Lead Designer Sur Mesure at Bugatti, to make her vision a reality
