Upstairs

Barbie dolls: Blaise Zabbini x reader

Warnings: I tried to keep it gn but like it's kinda difficult to do that with smut, jealousy, Blaise is in love?, he fingers you, he cums in his pants btw, poor grammar, I think that's it

Summary: fwb kinda Blaise gets pulled upstairs by you bc you need him and he's more than happy to ditch a party for you

When Blaise first heard about a party being thrown, by your house nonetheless, he thought of you immediately. Would you be going? Are you going with your friends? What did you plan on wearing? Were you spending the whole time there? Did you plan to stop by halfway through? All things considered his mind was always plagued with you so it wasn't that out of the ordinary. Blaise asked Pansy if you were going and she told him to 'man up' and ask you himself. Which he did not. Blaise decided he would find out the night of.

He did find out the night of, you weren't coming. Blaise should've suspected. You didn't go to very many parties, even the ones a few sets of stairs away from your dorm. Too many people, too loud, too much B.O. If you did go to one Blaise noticed halfway through you'd disappear from his side and follow Pansy off to God knows where. Forty minutes or even an hour you'd come back, bee line for him, tell him you're turning in for the night and he'd walk you back to your common room. You'd always tell Blaise what shenanigans you and Pansy got up to. It was never something he'd classify as trouble making but you both had a very different definition of the word anyway. Blaise was bummed when he noticed your absence but he wasn't surprised.

Blaise stuck to Theo and Mattheo. Lorenzo had a date so he left the children in Blaise’s hands. Theo left to the dance floor with some Ravenclaw, but Mattheo stayed with Blaise. They talked next to the banister of stairs leading to the dormitories. Blaise kept an eye on Theo and Pansy.

Theo, Blaise knew would probably just head back to his dorm, Ravenclaw in tow. Pansy however had a tendency to climb on top of things, forgetting her outfit and often her state of intoxication.

Often when you did come to parties you and Blaise were on babysitting duty. You'd keep your eye on Pansy and Mattheo. Blaise had Draco and Theo. Lorenzo barely ever came.

Draco just rolled his eyes at everything everyone did and showed them the proper way. He was a snob for almost everything under the sun, wine, cheese, how to pour a beer, how to roll a blunt Theo taught him, how to properly tie a tie, proper dinner etiquette. The amount of times Blaise had heard "no elbows on the table." has made him question if the consequences were worth stabbing Draco in the eye.

Mattheo mostly kept to himself. Although if he had enough he'd take over whoever was Dj-ing, or he'd start making new drinks that had odd side effects. One night Mattheo made the whole Gryffindor house, even people who didn't come to the party, grow horns and fangs. Mattheo says he doesn't remember how he did it. Blaise doesn't believe him.

Blaise missed you, for more than a million reasons. Parties were boring without something pretty to look at, he had to babysit all of his friends alone, you were quite comforting in social situations, he could use you as a buffer when people wanted to talk to him, and Merlin you were hot.

While Blaise was having his crisis downstairs you were in your own predicament upstairs. You were gnawing at the walls kind of horny. It's all you could think of, it was tiring. You were frustrated. You've tried everything and while one or two orgasms lessened your frustration you were still pissed. You considered every option. You could feel the loud music through your floor and you knew Blaise was downstairs. This wasn’t new territory for you two. You started an odd friends with benefits expect you never clarified what you actually are situation a while ago.

It was raining outside, everyone had gone to sleep except for you and Blaise. You had started the night on opposite ends of the couch, by the time Mattheo dragged Lorenzo up the stairs you were pressed against each other. After a long moment of just staring at each other, you broke the dam. You kissed Blaise, barely a second long before you pulled away. He grabbed the front of your shirt and pulled you back in. You prayed all the fish were blind that night because you were both too lazy to move to his dorm. Besides you all had roommates so the possibility of an audience would probably be lower in the common room.

Still it made you anxious to actually ask Blaise to join you in your dorm. You knew Blaise defiantly gave other people the same kind of night he’s given you. A pit of jealousy always crawled in your stomach, up your throat, and made you never speak or breathe again. But Blaise made it all worth it. He was probably enjoying himself fat the party. It’s Blaise. Well, maybe he was tolerating the party. You needed him in your bed, you needed him period. So you rounded down the stairs to the common room, still in your pajamas. The closer you got the louder the music and people became. First, you recognized the hand grabbing the bottom of the banister. Then, you heard his voice, talking Mattheo out of trouble. You slowed as you reached him. Blaise glanced up, he sighed when he saw you. Blaise noticed your outfit and gave you a confused look. Mattheo poked his head around, seeing Blaise's reaction. Mattheo rolled his eyes and leaned back. You settled a few steps above the floor, grabbing onto Blaise's hand.

"thought you weren't coming, but looking at your clothes you don't seem to be staying very long." You nodded. You leaned over the banister, getting into Blaise's face. He held his breath, staring blankly at you. You kissed the corner of his mouth before pressing your lips to his temple.

"come upstairs with me?" You wanted it as a statement, but it fell like a question. Blaise gave you a soft smile. He shoved his cup into Mattheo's hands and sprinted up to your step. Mattheo yelled something about a condom, to which Blaise flicked his wand at him. Blaise's drink spilled over Mattheo's head. Mattheo huffed. You pulled Blaise up the stairs by his hand. When you reached your dorm, Blaise pulled you closer to him. He interlocked his fingers behind your back, his arms around your waist. You rested your arms over his shoulders.

“Scale 1 to 10, how intoxicated are you?” You mumbled. You knew you sounded kinda geeky, but you knew better than to sleep with someone drunk. You had morals. Blaise hummed and kissed your cheek.

“Negative five.” You rolled your eyes. Blaise rubbed your back, slipping his fingers under the hem of your shirt. He explained how he had only arrived a few minutes before you came bounding down the stairs. You squished your lips to the side. Blaise hummed in question. You nodded.

“I suppose we could continue.”

“Oh you suppose, do you?” Blaise gave you a mocking smile. You hummed and pulled him into a kiss. He tightened his arms around you. You nipped at his bottom lip. Blaise opened his mouth for you, letting you slip your tongue to meet his. You dropped your hands to his collar. You made fast work of unbuttoning Blaise's shirt, throwing it somewhere in your room. You walked him back. His legs hit your bed. You pushed Blaise down before straddling him. He ran his hands up the back of your thighs moving to the small of your back. As you tilted his head back, giving yourself a better angle, Blaise dragged his hands down your back, slipping past the band of your pajama pants. He gripped your ass. Your stomach twisted as you thought of all the times he’d done that to someone else. All the times Blaise had someone else’s tongue in his mouth. How many people he’d seen wrapped in his sheets. How many people he felt naked and pressed against him. You pulled back away from him. Blaise seemed to sense the change in the air, pulling his hands back to safety on your hips.

“You okay?” You sucked in a breath and sat back. You stared down at your hands slowly slipping away from his chest. Blaise gently pulled both your hands into his. He whispered your name. You stared into his eyes.

“Am I your favorite?” Blaise titled his head to the side. You still felt sick thinking other people pushing their hands past the band of his boxers.

“Favorite what?” You rolled your eyes at him. Lorenzo could play off the oblivious act but not Blaise. He said far too many filthy things in your ear for you to believe him. You gave him a knowing look. Blaise opened his mouth in realization.

“Ah.” You nodded. You pressed your lips together, feeling you already knew the answer. You weren’t entirely sure you could handle him actually saying it out loud. You already missed the feeling of his hands down your pants. You could feel the rejection boiling in your stomach. Blaise pressed his hand under your chin, pulling you to look up at him. Blaise gently pecked your cheek.

“Of course, baby.” You shook your head. He tutted. You glared at him.

“Stop looking at me like that. All pouty.” You glared at him more. Blaise rolled his eyes.

“You make my breath stop. Everyone knows how i feel about you. I don’t even look at other people like that anymore. It’s just you on my mind, darling.” Blaise pressed his hand to the back of your neck. You pulled him back into the kiss, this time with more fervor. Blaise understood you excepted that answer and wanted to pick up where you left off. He tugged at the hem of your shirt. You quickly pulled it off and flung it in the same direction you did for his shirt.

Blaise dropped his head to your chest. He pressed his lips to your collarbone, pulling the skin into his mouth. You moaned and traced your fingertips over his head. Blaise dragged his teeth over the new mark. You exhaled and gripped his shoulders tighter. You dropped your hands to his pants, tugging at the band. Blaise shook his head.

"No baby, clearly you're questioning my love for you. Gotta prove it to you, hm?" Blaise pushed you back against your sheets. He pulled your pants and underwear down, dropping them over the edge of your bed. Blaise gently blew between your thighs. You groaned. Blaise smiled at you before lowering his head. You moaned at the feeling of his tongue. Blaise nipped at the inside of your thighs before kissing your happy trail.

Blaise dragged his hand down your side. Blaise very gently pushed two of his fingers into your hole. You groaned and lulled your head to the side. He moved his fingers making you moan more. Blaise kept his pace as he moved up and connected your lips. You cupped his cheeks as he met your tongue with his. Blaise grinded down against your sheets as he swallowed your moans.

His underwear was just rough enough for him to know he'll be finishing without your touch tonight. Blaise quickened his pace with his fingers making your chest heave and your fingers dig into his shoulders. You felt your stomach tighten as you arched your back. Blaise moved his mouth to your neck as he kept his pace with both his hips against your sheets and his fingers moving in you.

You moaned loudly cumming around his fingers. Blaise pressed his face against your bare chest as he came in his boxers completely untouched. Your breath returned to normal as Blaise slowly moved his hands away from between your legs. Blaise wrapped his arms around you and pressed his face further into your chest. You massaged his scalp as he came down from his own high.

Blaise peppered kisses against your stomach as he sat up. He told you he'd be back in a moment. You heard your bath running in your bathroom. Blaise came back to you, pushing your hair away from your face as he pulled you into your bathroom. Blaise joined you in the bath. He took his time to run through your entire routine. He washed your body, face, hair, and massaged your body once you made it back to your bed. By the time your roommates came back from the party your curtains were drawn and you were asleep in his arms.

PFM canta De Andrè: è il nuovo concerto di "Vicenza in Festival", il 3 settembre in piazza dei Signori

PFM canta De Andrè: è il nuovo concerto di "Vicenza in Festival", il 3 settembre in piazza dei Signori. PFM canta De André in Piazza dei Signori. È il nuovo concerto di "Vicenza in Festival", firmato da DuePunti Eventi in collaborazione con il Comune di Vicenza. In programma il 3 settembre con inizio alle 21, l'evento arricchisce il cartellone che ospiterà anche lo show di Achille Lauro (2 settembre) e il concerto di Fiorella Mannoia con orchestra sinfonica (5 settembre). «Un nuovo nome va a comporre il calendario di Vicenza in Festival. Dopo Fiorella Mannoia e Achille Lauro con soddisfazione annunciamo l'arrivo della PFM: la storica band si esibirà proponendo brani di Fabrizio De André– dichiara l'assessore ai grandi eventi Leone Zilio -. Ed ecco che Vicenza propone un calendario che incontrerà i più diversi gusti musicali del pubblico. Piazza dei Signori si conferma sede privilegiata in cui si possono apprezzare differenti generi appartenenti alla cultura musicale italiana. Con l'arrivo della Premiata Forneria Marconi i brani di De Andrè saranno eseguiti per un pubblico di differenti generazioni che non smette mai di amare il grande cantautore». Quarantacinque anni dopo il tour "Fabrizio De André e PFM in concerto", la prog band più famosa al mondo torna sui palchi italiani con "PFM canta De André Anniversary" per celebrare il fortunato sodalizio con il cantautore genovese e riproporre una serie di concerti dedicati a quell'evento. Per rinnovare l'abbraccio fra il rock e la poesia, alla scaletta originale saranno aggiunti anche brani tratti da "La buona Novella", completamente rivisitati dalla band. "PFM canta De André - Anniversary" avrà sul palco una formazione spettacolare, con tre ospiti d'eccezione: Flavio Premoli (fondatore PFM) con l'inconfondibile magia delle sue tastiere, Michele Ascolese, chitarrista storico di Faber e Luca Zabbini, leader dei Barock Project. Fabrizio De Andrè disse: «La nostra tournée è stata il primo esempio di collaborazione tra due modi completamente diversi di concepire e eseguire le canzoni. Un'esperienza irripetibile perché PFM non era un'accolita di ottimi musicisti riuniti per l'occasione, ma un gruppo con una storia importante, che ha modificato il corso della musica italiana. Ecco, un giorno hanno preso tutto questo e l'hanno messo al mio servizio...». PFM – Premiata Forneria Marconi ha uno stile unico e inconfondibile che combina la potenza espressiva della musica rock, progressive e classica in un'unica entità affascinante. Nata nel 1970 (discograficamente nel 1972), la band ha guadagnato rapidamente un posto di rilievo sulla scena internazionale, che mantiene tutt'oggi. Nel 2016 la prestigiosa rivista inglese "Classic Rock" UK ha posizionato PFM – Premiata Forneria Marconi al 50esimo posto tra i 100 migliori artisti più importanti del mondo, mentre "Rolling Stone" UK ha inserito l'album "Photos of ghost" al 19esimo posto tra i dischi più importanti della musica progressive. Nel 2018 ha ricevuto a Londra il prestigioso riconoscimento come "International Band of the year" ai Prog Music Awards UK, mentre nel 2019 la rivista inglese "PROG UK" nomina Franz Di Cioccio tra le 100 icone della "musica che hanno cambiato il nostro mondo" (unico musicista del mondo latino).

Last song I listened to: I’m Into You (Chet Faker)

Currently watching: nothing 😩 I’m very boring with shows right now but the last one I watched was The Diplomat

Currently reading: I’m rereading The Worthing Saga by Orson Scott Card for a book club I’m in. It’s been close to a decade since my first read and it’s fun going through it again.

Current obsession: drinking hot coffee outside in the cooler morning air. I am deeply in my Nature Girl Era and I refuse to cool off about it until forced indoors by the imminent 6 months of rain 🙃

Tagging some familiars! @feyre-fireheart-cursebreaker @zabbini @speckleflea @malphoys (participate if you wish otherwise ignore and know I was thinking fondly of you 😌)

Tag game, as tagged by @theancientwonder, thank you my darlingest mutual

Last song I listened to: Sparks Fly (Taylor’s version)

Currently watching: MASH (almost finished with season 10) and Doctor Who- currently on series 4, but once I’m finished with David Tennant’s seasons I think I’ll go back to the very beginning from 1963 and watch it all in order. I hope they still have the old ones somewhere. Only gonna take god knows how many years.

Currently reading: War and Peace (but I’m listening to it as an audiobook, so you decide if that counts.)

Current obsession: Doctor Who.

KSIGJICNRJCNEHCBD HELLO HELLO WELCOME TO THE HELL THAT IS KNOWING ZUTARA IS EVERYTHING AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN WRITTEN AS SUCH !!!! wow i love that you are as angry as i was (and am every rewatch? yikes) this is amazing i knew you're my favorite but yeah wow man this really. confirms it whew high five

yeah it’s pretty wild how I knew this was what happened and was already bracing for it and yet STILL got completely misled by the narrative??? MEN I tell you MEN. I’m also going to use this ask as a method to reply to some of the other commentary if you don’t mind since this seems like a good place for communal frustration (here is my original post for anyone scrolling around lost)

@meg-hemmings: I agree with all of ur thoughts and I would TOTALLY read anything you wrote for Zutara … your writing is among my absolute favorite ever and I think you would write the Zutara dynamic so beautifully!

@one-man-propaganda-machine: I am - begging - you to write it yourself.

I... am not going to make promises, but I may have to. I want something very specific and that never bodes well for me. I doubt it would be more than a one-shot, but there are multiple scenes that could have occurred between episodes that would flesh out what was there (and of course I’d cut the final 15 seconds of the show, much like another epilogue I loathe and ignore)

@deifiliaa: omg atla discourse in 2021; olivie, i’d love to see what your character tier list looks like now that you’ve finished the series 👀

I’m going to put azula at the top. not because she’s a good person obviously but she’s FULL. OF. HITS. every time she’s on the screen the narrative gets immediately more interesting. she’s savvy and self-assured and I love it. her ending depressed me although I like that it was kind of about the loss of her two best friends? if that had been more of a focus I think I would have enjoyed it more but yeah, losing mai and ty lee could have been rightfully devastating. who among us is not totally obliterated by friend breakups. I also really loved uncle iroh; if anything that’s why I wasn’t invested in zuko’s storyline until close to the end, because watching him disappoint his uncle was very difficult (I get it, he’s a teenager, he’s growing and evolving and whatnot, but also I am closer to being his uncle than to being him so like, yeah). I also hope the peter pan revenge guy (JET that’s his name, sorry pregnancy kills my brain cells) did hook up with both katara and zuko. I love that journey for all three of them. I wanted more time with mai than we got, so there wasn’t quite enough there to love... but I was very down with ty lee interfering on her behalf. what a pivotal moment

of the core characters I think I was quickest to love sokka; the episode where he apologizes to suki and asks her to train him cemented it for me. I think it’s a big deal to show boys apologizing on-screen and owning their misconceptions. I like katara a lot—she’s what a lot of people do with fanon hermione. toph is also great, and part of me feels there is a strong basis for a ship with aang that balances their opposing energy, though I also like the idea of them being platonic besties. aang is... twelve. pretty much every time he was on the screen mr blake (a teacher) was like ���man, aang is such a seventh grader,” so it was nice how convincing that was for his emotional journey, but at the same time it was hard to forget he was in seventh grade. appa and momo are STARS. I am sure I have mentioned this before but mr blake really loves animals and he was devastated by appa’s kidnapping; he hugged our dog for about ten minutes after aang found appa. after he decided I was zuko, he speculated that he is closest to aang but he’s not happy about it lol. “ugh, aang and I are such boring pacifists” was I believe his take on the subject

@libbynico, who for some reason I can’t tag: so true! katara was literally something like a mother/older sister figure to aang the entire time, but whatever

yeah, I think it really sucks that katara, as the emotionally nurturing character, felt shoved into the role of love interest. it’s everything wrong with the distribution of emotional labor in male-female relationships but sure, WHATEVER, apparently nobody thought to ask me in 2008

@touslesnoms: I liked “such selfish prayers” by andromeda3116 if you ever decide to read zutara after the series; the worst prisoner by emletish is super funny too

thanks for the recs! I will take them. I do want something very specific so I will be accepting recs until I find it lol. or until I lose composure and write it (yeah this is me WITH my composure, no wonder mr blake thinks I’m zuko, “I’m never happy” indeed)

@gaeleria: THANK YOU!!! Ugh omg that “I’m confused” kiss scene made me actively hate the ending. I knew ahead of time they were endgame, so I tried to make myself accept it early on. Like, I really didn’t like the pairing, but I wasn’t going to be emotionally invested in the romance and it was just going to be like, whatevs. AND THEN THEY WROTE THAT SCENE??! 1000% no. What was even the point of that scene? If they had written it to make Aang have some introspection and realize it’s not all about him, Katara’s feelings matter too, or even apologize, or anything… but no, there was literally no point to that scene. No character growth, it was never mentioned again. Ugh.

this is in answer to both you and beloved @zabbini: yeah this was a fuck-up for sure lol. I think it may come down to editing for time; the series is very irregularly paced, what with the majority of the action taking place in the final three episodes of a 16 episode season. or maybe it’s just because MEN CAN’T BE TRUSTED TO WRITE ROMANCE but either way yeah this was a real misstep and just truly, truly reeked of a particular (white) male attitude about how women think and what they owe. had a bad day, dudes? buy a gun, kiss your forever girl, do whatever you want and it’s fine! (I’m exaggerating but barely)

in terms of what’s so angering for me: a character like katara who previously had tons of agency was robbed of it when it came to her romantic arc, which is just really upsetting. and to be fair, I was equally upset when zuko instantly agreed to the agni kai with azula because it was like okay well katara’s extremely valuable, as you know, but now you want her to just sit on the sidelines...? (more of a story flaw than a relationship flaw, but my chest sunk a little at the idea that katara was going to sit by and watch as an accessory to zuko’s story when she’s a crucial weapon in their collective fight. what a waste, right?) 

it’s also especially hard to buy into the aang thing when zuko’s method of problem-solving on katara’s behalf is there for comparison. he asks her what she needs in order to find closure and then from there, does everything necessary to get it without having to be asked twice. versus aang, who is a twelve-year-old pair of rogue lips who never wins any of his fights without the aid of phenomenal cosmic powers...? ugh I’m getting off track but in the end there’s just a complete lack of understanding what female audiences want, though again, I don’t think they were really considering that at all. which I guess is... fair, it’s not the point of the show, but then why make the ending romantic at all? to show that their brand of hero gets everything he wants, I guess

in conclusion in 2008 I’m not sure the industry was capable of doing better, which sucks but isn’t surprising. still, it does fit the components of “stuff I write fics for,” which is I enjoyed most of it but find myself enraged by slivers I compulsively need to fix—WHICH IS STILL NOT A PROMISE but ugh I can already feel myself giving in 

[mxrcusflint]

you just heard me being annoying in the notes of Pressure Points but real quick it reminded me of the line by Rudy Fransicso: "Why did I leave? Because you wouldn't let me love both of us at the same time." and it was wonderful thank you

that was nowhere near annoying and v much fuel for flintwood fire PLS tell me what u want to know about marcus i’ll write it all!!

and wow that line is a whole ass mood and makes me equal parts hurt and equal part on fire 

[dramioneasks]

hey!! i was just thinking about a fic where hermione goes to D for "lessons" and he refuses to let her take her bra off he just pushes it out of the way bc it makes him feel like he mussed up the good girl or something. do you know what this might be? thank you!

Anyone?

Lessons and Obsessions by LennaNightrunner - MA, 30 Chapters - After Narcissa Malfoy makes a deal with the Order of the Phoenix for protection and for a probational dismissal of charges regarding her son’s role in the death of Albus Dumbledore, Draco Malfoy returns to Hogwarts for a seventh year. Disgraced, reckless, and resentful, Draco decides to pursue a long-time desire for Hermione Granger. What begins as a loveless series of trysts wherein Hermione tries to ease the pain of Ron’s apparent indifference soon becomes inevitably complicated. With Harry off searching for Horcruxes and Ron still lacking the courage to pursue her, Hermione finds herself becoming increasingly and inexplicably attached to a boy she believes can never love anyone, least of all her. She believes this so firmly, in fact, that the significance of the subtle changes in Draco’s behavior may not become evident to her before their secret relationship is discovered.

hey! i was just so curious which episodes you think Lydia looks the most put together in, like hair and makeup and outfit all fitting together (bc there have been some off episodes lmao) i personally think the ep (ugh i can't remember what number but season 3) where Boyd was in the tub and Stiles and Lydia work together during that whole sequence to save him from drowning under the safe. i thought that was her best outfit combo of the series but just wondering what your thoughts are!

These are my children:

Still untitled

« Harry please, tell us what’s bothering you so much.” Hermione asked. The three of them were sitting in the common room, trying to relax before the first mattering Quidditch game of the season -the first of the 8th years own team.

”I’m cool, ‘Mione.

-Mate … I can hear you stamping your feet… Spit it out or I’ll have to tie it.

-I’m just … wondering. There’s this guy who

-What has Malfoy done?

-Ronald.” Hermione’s tone was hard, making her boyfriend holding up his hand, silently promising to shut his mouth.

Harry sighted before looking up at his best friends again. “It’s more something Zabbini has done actually… They’re always fighting and I caught Malfoy crying again today.” He said, his eyes on the ground. He didn’t need to see them to know that Ron was making big eyes at Hermione and that she was trying to think of something to say that would stop him from putting his nose in their business.

“Maybe it has nothing to do with Zabbini.” Ron tried. “Maybe he had just hit his feet…

-I’m sure it’s cause of him. They fight and Malfoy ends up in Myrtle’s bathroom.

-Harry, are you following him again?

-No ! I am only noticing, Hermione. Noticing. Not being oblivious, unless the lot of you. Haven’t you see how sad he looks lately? How Parkinson seems to act as if he was always on the verge of breaking?

-That’s not our problem, mate. And if the bitch has noticed- “Stop calling her ‘the bitch’” Hermione interrupted “- then it’s going to be taken care of.

-and what if she’s stuck? She’s both their best friend. If you two guys were fighting, would you like me to get in the middle?

-Nope…

-I would. I’d like you to tell me.

-Thanks Mione…” Ron mumbles, seeing where it was going to lead Harry to.

“I have to talk to him, then.” The black hair boy informed, rising up from his chair.

Please bless with your Christmas Parkweasel headcannons

I’ve been sitting on this ask until the right moment, and the Right Moment is apparently when I haven’t slept in like 50-something hours and have forgotten to cut off this emergency room visitor bracelet that says “TUESDAY” in five different fonts (we’re fine, everything is fine, I’m just vry extreme tired but it’s: 12:43 p.m.)

ParkWeasel at Christmas below the cut!

Pansy Parkinson cannot be touched in the areas of: decorating, personal styling, and throwing a party. She throws the best parties. I am not open to discussion on this topic. She can organize a flawless wedding and a large, formal, uptight gala kind of deal, but every Christmas she hosts a large party with friends at their home. She always wears something kind of borderline, like a shortshortshort silver sequin dress and mile-high heels, just this side of being too much. She excels at getting the right people talking, playing the right music, keeping the energy at exactly the right level, making sure it’s really well lubricated with incredible cocktails, but no one ever gets truly shitty. Every year she sends everyone home with a new magical ornament. She does it all so masterfully that Percy forgets he hates parties. Once it’s over, he draws her a bath while he cleans up so meticulously you’d never know they had people over, then spends ages demonstrating his appreciation and admiration for her in bed. It’s secretly his favorite night of the year, outside of their anniversary.

Percy has a handful of homespun and kinda kitschy decorations from his childhood, and for along time keeps them packed away in a box. Pansy finds it one day, and he comes home from work to discover the paper Christmas village he spent hours and hours adding a house and magically animated paper figures to every year set up on the mantel, living in miraculous harmony with the spare lines of his absurdly expensive midcentury candleholders and Pansy’s weekly rotation of fresh flowers in her great-grandmother’s cloisonné vases.

The Sweaters. Pansy puts hers on at bedtime on Christmas Day, just long enough for them both to make funny faces and take a selfie for Molly. Then she tells Percy he’ll never make her take it off, which is a very fun sort of challenge. The first time Molly receives the photograph by owl is the moment she fully understands that her daughter-in-law has made her son completely, deliriously happy. She’s been warm to her ever since.

Percy struggles at Christmas: because of his grief over Fred, and because while he’s reconciled with his family, he will always, for his entire life, be different from the rest of them in ways that make him feel isolated and lonely. Pansy has no baggage around the holidays, beyond the teenage years she spent defying her mother over stiff Christmas dresses by emerging from her bedroom wearing them with slightly inappropriate shoes. She thinks it’s all a pleasing, if hectic, sort of lark where she gets nice new jewelry from Percy and outrageously expensive gifts from her parents, and has an excuse to wear kitschy lingerie. She has ample emotional bandwidth, so she pours her considerable talents into speaking Percy’s love languages loud and clear over the holidays. She does a killer job as his plus one at the Ministry Christmas party, she buys him the most unexpected and thoughtful gifts that show she spent time and energy on him, she sends him owls during the day that let him know he’s on her mind and how special she thinks he is. Fuck. He has no idea how he managed to be so lucky.

Percy is low-key shite at gift buying. His primary love language is not gifts, and he tends to think of things in overly practical terms. He believes Pansy when she tells him how charming she thinks his ineptitude is, because she’s not actually a gifts person either, but he has a standing date every year to go shopping with Blaise Zabbini. Neither of them has ever disclosed this to another person. They both really look forward to it.

What Percy brings to the table at Christmas is: how much he utterly adores his wife and their little family of two. He takes on every aspect of the Christmas cards, the thank-you cards, delivering gifts to friends, wrapping—whatever he can do, he does with the utmost care and without being asked, with the aim of communicating how wildly, achingly spectacular he thinks she is.

He goes truly, truly overboard on gifts for their black-haired three month-old daughter on her first Christmas. Pansy thought she knew how much she loved him before he started coming home from Diagon Alley and explaining the rationale for purchasing each set of wooden blocks and every paperboard book and the magical music box that plays intelligence-enhacing classical compositions, but she was wrong.

Grazie a Matteo e a Luca Zabbini, leader dei Barock Project, ascolterete una PFM inedita. “THE EVENT - Live in Lugano” è il primo disco di un nuovo progetto che soddisferà il pubblico che ama il live: PFM Live Collection. La nuova collana discografica avrà al suo attivo registrazioni di brani storici, rivisitazioni, jam e tutto ciò che “sforneremo” on stage. Amiamo da sempre le sperimentazioni ed il palco è la nostra palestra alla quale non sappiamo e non vogliamo rinunciare. “THE EVENT - Live in Lugano” è solo il primo e … sarà ancora Celebration». Tracklist di “THE EVENT – Live in Lugano”: 1) Mondi Paralleli; 2) Il respiro del tempo; 3) Transumanza jam; 4) Impressioni di Settembre; 5) Il banchetto; 6) La carrozza di Hans; 7) Photos of ghost; 8) Quartiere 8; 9) Cyber alpha; 10) Harlequin; 11) La danza dei cavalieri S. Prokofev - inclusi Il potere dell'amore e Gli amanti di Verona; 12) Mr 9 till 5; 13) Violin jam; 14) Ouverture William Tell G. Rossini; 15) Celebration; 16) Impressioni di Settembre -reprise Intanto PFM prosegue il suo tour “PFM 1972-2023”, un grande viaggio attraverso il tempo, con nuove sonorità che faranno sentire lo spettatore nel presente, ma allo stesso tempo proiettato verso il futuro. Video proiezioni e scenografie virtuali arricchiranno questo viaggio cinquantennale, che abbraccerà anche la poesia di Fabrizio De André.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

hi olivie :) i just wanted you to know that for my speech for the microphone class (i'm an acting major) we practice narrating samples of audiobooks and i chose La Petite Mort and it was so fun.....honestly the writing is so fun that me getting to act on the page was almost irrelevant. i hope this sends you love and good vibes! ❤️❤️❤️

hello magnificent starflower I have been thinking of you!! sorry for this being moderately off-topic and also more of a private conversation but SINCE YOU’RE HERE and have brought up audiobooks and I know you have asked me in the past: what would you think about potentially being the voice actor for an audiobook of The Atlas Six? I have been asked about it again recently and have also been told by my agent that unless it magically starts selling like Fifty Shades I can kind of do whatever I want, so if you’re interested, we can chat about timing and payment and all that. I have like no resources, as I’m sure you could guess, and I would also have to be able to pay whoever else was involved (such as a sound editor and all of that, for which little chmura is thankfully very adept, a goddess of many talents) so idk how feasible this actually is but if you are interested let me know!!!

and as to your actual ask, it DOES fill me with very good vibes and I’m so glad it was fun for you. LOVE IT and thank you for dropping by!

the flint wood a/b/o fic was probably my favorite flintwood i've ever read and it got me introduced to and obsessed with a/b/o fics so idk whether to love you or proclaim you wickedest in the land (but also thank you)

that means a heck of a lot to me, thank you!! i feel like in hp there’s a/b/o fics and then there’s also like veela or other sort of fics? which all seem fair game and within that genre which is p cool
