Day 200: World’s most normal photo of this man

[lizmitches]

amidst everything we got i’m somehow most caught up on lisa letting herself into carla’s flat with her own key ;—;

[aiam-maianaise]

Actually I’m gonna go more in depth here. Tags were before I wrote this part.

Even with a basic savings account, the 10million will quickly outsize what the 1k a day is capable of.

1k a day, may as many have said, reach 10million in 27 years.

But the 10million in those 27 years, even from just basic interest, could reach a lot more.

Like this:

I’ll put the interest rate at 3%. Modest conpared to some, but reasonable. It’ll partially account for how interest rates fluctuate form high at 5 to 6% to lows of 1%

Lets say you spend 1 million to get a house, pay off loans, decrease your weekly expenses.

9 million stowed away for interest.

After 1 year, 9 million becomes 9 270 000 (increased by 270 000)

The second year, that becomes 9 548 100 (278 100 increase)

Third year: 9 834 543 (286 443 increase)

Fourth Year: 10 129 579 (295 036.29 increase. Im lazy and ifnrinf the .29 tho)

At least point you have officially recouped the money you spent paying off loans/buying a house or using as simple spending money.

Fifth year: 10 433 466 (303 887 increase)

Sixth Year: 10 746 469 (313 003 increase)

Seventh Year: 11 068 863 (322 394 increase)

Eighth Year: 11 400 928 (332 065)

Ninth Year: 11 742 955 (342 027)

Tenth Year: 12 125 243 (352 288)

Eleventh Year: 12 489 000 (363 757)

And after 11 years the interest alone almost matches the amount you get each year from the 1k a day.

And with each year the bench mark to match the lump sum amount shifts ever farther.

(By 27 years, the lump sum person with a modest interest rate of 3% could potentially have gotten to 20 041 171$. Double the original sum, and double the ‘goal post’)

All this is with a more reserved interest rate. If you had a higher interest rate or were actively investing, this would be rather different. A 5% interest rate would’ve matched and surpassed the rate of 1k a day in the first year at 450 000 a year (not accountjng tax on the interest) even a 4% on 9 million puts you just under at 360 000 per year, meaning the bery next year youve surpassed it.

Additionally, if you are still working a job, you likely have saved additional money due to not having to pay off loans/pay rent or other stuff. Obviously i habe not accounted for that variable.

Any bad marhs is cause a) its 8 am and i havnet slept wheee (also probably did this a harder way than i needed to)

And also maube just me funbling them keys and numbers fjjfjf.

Explain your reasoning plzzz

Day & Night. (Sun & Moon Drabble)

Requested By: @luckyyyduckyyy

Word Count: 500

Summary: Being stuck together 24/7/365 had been bad enough, working together is somehow worse. In certain aspects, anyway.

Note: Not canon to CS but utilizes the same personalities! Bri's here too lol Also third person POV bc I don't want y'all to get too into the boys' heads just yet :)

______________________________________________________

"Sun."

No outward reaction from the bot as he continues to orchestrate his craft session.

"Sun."

The slightest twitch of acknowledgement, and perhaps definitely annoyance.

The naptime attendant doesn't bother attempting a third time, instead opting for a more direct, though dramatic, approach. 

When he disappears from his yellow counterpart's view, it's under the assumption that he won't be returning. And frankly, he couldn't be happier-

His sensors alert him of a rapidly descending presence from above before his optics do. Though he's unable to stop from flinching when Moon appears eye to eye with him, hanging upside down from the wire he's so proud to show his mastering of. 

The night-themed bot's words are as blunt as his stare, "It's naptime."

Sun, despite his urges to do otherwise, remains polite. Or at least, his tone does, "Naptime begins at exactly 2:00:00 PM. I still have 5 minutes, 32 seconds, and 6 milliseconds."

"Light's off at 1:55:00 PM," Moon tilts his head, "You know that."

"I do."

Moon's eyes narrow, "Then why did you start another activity at 1:53:45 PM? Knowing that the children need time to wind down and prepare."

"Oh, did I?" Sun raises a hand to his faceplate, "Goodness me, it seems that without you constantly reminding me I've lost my ability to effectively keep track of time! What a shame."

The naptime attendant doesn't move an inch, "They're going to become tired quickly if you don't allow them to rest. Is that really something you wish to deal with?"

It's now that Sun begins to falter, gaze also implying irritation, "A few extra minutes of playtime will hardly do them any harm. Now too long of a nap on the other hand-"

"So you admit you're purposely trying to take extra time-"

"-Certainly not purposefully but if that's the outcome so be it-"

Both animatronics voices grow quieter but more forced.

"The children need their nap, Sun."

"They also need time to play, Moon."

"Hey, am I supposed to be turning out the lights or what?"

Both bots turn to where the security guard sits at her desk, hand hovering over the light switch with a brow raised. 

Moon snickers quietly, too quietly for Bri to hear.

Sun responds for both of them, "Just give us a moment, Officer Perry!" Then lowering his voice to mutter a threat of "Shut it." to the other attendant. 

Before his opposite can say what he wants to, Moon rises back to the ceiling again, thus ruining any chance of satisfaction for the day-themed bot. Which was of course the intention of such an action.

Instead, he's forced to receive a message which would have been spoken in the cheekiest, most frustrating, most grating, of voices.

'You have three minutes before I instruct Officer Perry to turn out the lights.

You have two and a half minutes before I decide to just do it myself.'

What pleasant company these two make. One would truly envy who ends up with them.

Ngl this was a fun challenge for me! I know how they interact when together and how that dynamic works but have never considered separate before. Next request should be up on Thursday :) Thanks for reading!!

Bharathi Degree College: Warangal’s Placement Leader

Introduction: The New Face of Career Readiness in Warangal

In a fast-changing India where the lines between education and employability are narrowing, one institution is leading the charge—Bharathi Degree College, Warangal. Known not only for its academic excellence but also for its unmatched placement record, Bharathi has become the go-to degree college in Warangal for students aspiring to succeed in a fiercely competitive global workforce.

Whether you're a student aiming for a tech-driven future, a bride or groom preparing for financial independence before marriage, or an entrepreneur seeking talent pipelines, Bharathi stands as a symbol of opportunity and transformation. With India’s youth demographic becoming more dynamic and digitally fluent, the need for colleges that deliver both academic merit and market-relevant skills has never been more urgent.

Let’s explore how Bharathi Degree College has become Warangal’s placement leader, driving not just degrees but successful careers.

Section 1: Why Placement Matters More Than Ever in 2025

The Indian Context

According to a 2024 NASSCOM report, over 54% of Indian graduates face underemployment due to lack of job readiness.

On the other hand, institutions with dedicated placement infrastructure have reported up to 68% higher employability rates post-graduation.

Placement is no longer an optional service—it’s a strategic outcome. Bharathi Degree College understands this and has engineered its academic and career services ecosystem to match the needs of today’s competitive job markets, especially in tech, commerce, and business management streams.

Section 2: Bharathi Degree College—Warangal’s Placement Powerhouse

A Track Record Worth Noticing

Bharathi Degree College has consistently placed its students in top MNCs, IT firms, fintech startups, and research institutes. The placement statistics from the 2024 academic year are a clear indicator:

BCA

Cognizant, Deloitte, Capgemini

BBA

HDFC, ICICI, Byju’s, Amazon

Data Analytics & AI

“We’re not just offering degrees—we're offering futures,” says Prof. Lakshmi Rao, Placement Head at Bharathi. “Our goal is to ensure that every student walks out of this college with not just a certificate, but a career launchpad.”

Section 3: Placement-Driven Curriculum and Industry Tie-Ups

Unlike conventional syllabi that struggle to keep up with industrial demands, Bharathi Degree College aligns its curriculum with current market trends. This includes:

Regular curriculum upgrades in sync with AICTE and industry guidelines

Electives in trending domains: AI, Digital Marketing, FinTech, Data Analytics

Workshops conducted by global professionals and alumni

Bharathi’s strategic tie-ups with industry leaders mean students engage in real-world projects, attend industry boot camps, and undergo mock interviews—all before they graduate.

Section 4: The Placement Cell – Where Career Meets Opportunity

Bharathi’s Placement Cell, led by professionals with corporate backgrounds, is the engine behind its success. Its core functions include:

Regular aptitude training, technical skill assessments, and group discussions

Alumni mentoring circles and internship placement programs

This cell operates 365 days a year and has strong relations with over 150+ recruiters, both local and national. The seamless pre-placement training ensures that students don’t just get interviews—they convert them.

Section 5: Student Success Stories—Real Outcomes That Matter

Case Study 1: Swathi Reddy, BCA 2023

Swathi, from a modest family in Hanamkonda, joined Bharathi with dreams of entering tech. With hands-on experience in real-time projects and Bharathi’s placement support, she was placed as a Software Developer at Wipro with an annual CTC of ₹6.2 LPA.

Case Study 2: Mohammad Faiz, BBA 2024

Faiz was unsure about his future. But after guidance from Bharathi’s career counselors, he took up internships with local startups. He’s now working in a managerial role with Byju’s and preparing for his MBA.

Section 6: Expert Voices on Bharathi’s Placement Success

Prof. Dinesh Kumar – Head of Department (Computer Science)

“We actively simulate real-world work culture in our labs. That’s why our students can adapt immediately when they join any company. Bharathi doesn’t just teach; it transforms.”

Priya Jha – HR, Infosys (Recruitment Partner)

“Bharathi graduates are confident, skilled, and ready from Day 1. Their students are now part of our core teams.”

Section 7: Offers, Discounts, and Early-Bird Benefits for 2025

To encourage early enrollment for 2025-2026, Bharathi Degree College is offering:

20% discount on admission fees for early applicants before July 31, 2025

Free placement training modules worth ₹25,000 included for all new batches

Section 9: How Bharathi Stands Out in India’s Competitive Education Landscape

In a market flooded with institutions that promise but underdeliver, Bharathi stands apart with verified results, student-centric pedagogy, and an evolving roadmap that syncs with India’s changing job dynamics.

With SEO in Warangal becoming a trending search category among business owners and digital aspirants, Bharathi Degree College is also training students in digital marketing and local SEO—making them valuable assets to any growing enterprise.

By Matthew Lee and Aamer Madhani | related Press TEL AVIV, Israel — President Joe Biden will journey to Israel on Wednesday showing assistance when it comes to U.S. friend as issues increase that raging Israel-Hamas war could increase into a more substantial local dispute. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken launched Biden’s journey to Israel as humanitarian circumstance inside Gaza Strip expands much more serious so when Israel makes for a potential ground-attack regarding the 141-square-mile (365-square-kilometer) area to root away Hamas militants in charge of exactly what U.S. and Israeli officials state was many life-threatening attack against Jews considering that the Holocaust. Biden is wanting to deliver the best message however that U.S. is behind Israel. Their Democratic management has actually pledged armed forces assistance, giving U.S. providers and help towards the area. Officials said they might ask Congress for up of $2 billion in extra help both for Israel and Ukraine, that will be battling Russia’s intrusion.

THIS IS A BREAKING INFORMATION ENHANCE. AP’s earlier in the day tale uses below. WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden consulted with a trio of globe frontrunners along with his very own nationwide protection group on Monday amid developing international issue in regards to the humanitarian crisis unfolding inside Gaza Strip and worries that Israel-Hamas war could metastasize into a broader regional conflict.

Earlier Monday, Biden and vice-president Harris had been briefed inside Oval workplace by their particular nationwide protection group regarding the circumstance on the floor in Israel and Gaza. White home main of staff Jeff Zients joined up with the briefing led by nationwide protection agent Jake Sullivan, Director of nationwide Intelligence Avril Haines and Central Intelligence department Director Bill Burns, in line with the White home. Biden have been planned to journey to Pueblo, Colorado, on Monday but chose to postpone the see therefore he could check with their aides and consult other frontrunners in regards to the unfolding circumstance at the center East.

Truckloads of help idled at Egypt’s edge with Gaza, banned from entry, as residents and humanitarian teams pleaded Monday for liquid, meals and gas for dying generators, saying the small Palestinian area sealed down by Israel after final week’s rampage by Hamas ended up being near complete failure. Biden’s telephone call because of the Egyptian frontrunner emerged one-day after el-Sissi found with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Cairo. Egypt’s state-run news stated el-Sissi informed Blinken that Israel’s Gaza procedure has actually surpassed “the right of self-defense” and converted into “a collective punishment.” European Union frontrunners will hold an urgent situation summit on Tuesday as issue supports that war between Israel and Hamas could fuel tensions in European countries and bring even more refugees looking for sanctuary.

It’s the deadliest war for Israel considering that the 1973 dispute with Egypt and Syria. Meanwhile, Iran’s international minister warned Monday that “preemptive action is possible” if Israel moves nearer to its looming surface offensive inside Gaza Strip. Iran is a chief monetary sponsor of Hamas militants in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The feedback by Hossein Amirabdollahian follow a pattern of escalating rhetoric from Iran. “Leaders of the resistance will not allow the Zionist regime to do whatever it wants in Gaza and then go after other resistance groups after it’s done with Gaza,” he informed condition tv. “Therefore any preemptive action is possible in the coming hours.” White home officials said that U.S. cleverness implies that Iran happens to be generally conscious that Hamas have been get yourself ready for a potential attack against Israel. Nevertheless the U.S. claims this has however to locate proof of direct Iranian participation inside Oct. 7 assault. Israel is get yourself ready for the possibility of a forward orifice on its north edge with Lebanon, in which this has exchanged fire continuously because of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah team. The armed forces bought residents of 28 Israeli communities close to the edge to evacuate. Air raid sirens interrupted Blinken’s come back to Israel 3 x on Monday, doubly he found with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu along with his war case for talks across war with Hamas. The sirens signaling incoming rocket fire, accompanied by the noisy booms of Iran Dome atmosphere defenses intercepting rockets, underscored an often-daily truth for Israelis, especially since Gaza-based Hamas started huge assaults on Israel on Oct. 7. Blinken along with his group got their particular very first style for the caution system and Iron Dome reaction while they drove from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv moments after sirens sounded both in urban centers, causing motorists traveling connecting all of them to pull-over and just take address. Blinken’s motorcade didn't slow or change its path but sped rapidly towards the Israeli Ministry of Defense as motorists regarding the arms for the roadway gone back to their particular cars. Senate Majority chief Chuck Schumer, whom only came back from a weekend day at Israel, stated Monday which he hopes Congress will go rapidly to assist Israel. He stated he found with grieving people during their see, with top Israeli officials, and it is “shaken by anger and fear.” “In the coming weeks, the United States Senate will do everything possible to help Israel eliminate the threat that Hamas presents,” Schumer stated. Schumer stated he could be working together with the management on an urgent situation war supplemental and it'll feature armed forces, cleverness, diplomatic and humanitarian help. He stated the Senate must get initially to pass through it as a result of “disarray” in the home, that has gone fourteen days without a leader after Republicans ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The Senate international Relations Committee will hold a confirmation hearing Wednesday for previous Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, Biden’s nominee for ambassador to Israel.

Faultline - Chapter 3/3 “Aftershocks”

I’m happy I didn’t have to leave you hanging too long after that last chapter! Special thanks to the best beta in the business @hookedmom for checking it over quickly enough for me to get it posted this soon. Please see the first chapter for the list of people who were at least partially responsible for encouraging me to write this story. 

Story Summary: On the day Killian and Liam Jones meet Emma Swan, a major earthquake rocks San Francisco and the trio has to help each other survive. Based loosely on the movie “San Andreas”.

Liam looked helplessly at his brother, seeing the anguish in his eyes over losing the woman he had come to care for, and knew he couldn’t give up on trying to bring her back to life. With renewed determination, he turned back to Emma and began pumping her chest again, all the while chanting, “Come on, lass! Come on!” 

He gave her three rescue breaths and pumped her chest twice more, then she suddenly coughed and sputtered, pitching forward and spewing water out of her mouth. Liam gently pounded her on the back as Arthur and Gwen cheered. 

“Emma!” Killian gasped, surging forward to gather her into his arms. She continued to cough and gag as she held onto him. 

“Welcome back, lass,” Liam said, smiling with relief. 

With the crisis averted, Arthur settled back into the captain’s chair and started the engine, then turned the boat and continued moving cautiously through the bay. Liam and Gwen resumed their seats too, but Killian and Emma remained on the deck of the boat, clinging to each other tightly. 

“I thought I lost you,” he murmured into her ear. 

“I’m s-sorry,” she whispered, beginning to shiver, both from being wet and the shock of what had just happened to her. Gwen stood up and moved across the back of the boat to lift the top of the bench seat, pulling out an armful of towels, which she handed to Killian. 

He unfolded and draped two of them around Emma, then one over his own shoulders. Using another, he began to dry her hair, all the while telling her how relieved he was that she survived. 

Liam watched the scene in front of him and realized his brother had already fallen hard and fast for the lovely lass they had just met less than half a day ago, although it seemed more like an eternity after all they’d been through together. 

*********

Fifteen minutes later, Arthur steered the boat up to the pier closest to Millbrae. As the trio began to disembark, Arthur stopped Liam and returned the money Killian had given him earlier. “This trip is on me,” he said firmly. 

“Thank you, mate,” Liam said, shaking the man’s hand. 

Gwen hugged all three of them, saying, “Take care and stay safe.” 

Liam carefully climbed onto the dock, then turned, put both hands around Emma’s waist and lifted her easily to set her beside him. Killian shook Arthur’s hand also, expressing his thanks, then joined his brother and Emma on the platform. All three of them waved as the boat pulled away, heading further down the bay. 

“How far away is your apartment?” Killian asked, wrapping his arm around Emma’s waist to give her extra support, since she was still weak from her ordeal. 

“About a twenty minute walk from here. There’s a dollar store a few blocks away that’s always open late, where I think we should stop and get you guys some clothes, sleepwear and other essentials. I know it won’t be top quality, but at least you could change out of those clothes.” 

“I don’t care what kind of quality they are,” Liam uttered. “I can hardly wait to get out of these bloody clothes.” 

“And he means that quite literally,” Killian chuckled. 

“We really should go directly to the Medical Center to get you guys checked out, though,” Emma said. 

“And you, as well,” Killian stated. “Near drowning can cause all sorts of complications.” 

“Where is the Medical Center?” Liam asked.

Faultline - Chapter 1 “Tremors”

Here it is - my contribution to the Captain Swan Movie Marathon Collection! This story is loosely based on the movie San Andreas and I have many people to thank for encouraging me to write it. My very loyal beta @hookedmom was with me once again, despite being on a well-earned vacation for the past week. Thanks also to @teamhook, who has been asking me to contribute to the collection for months now, @kmomof4, who flailed over my last lines and helped me with the pic sets, @gingerpolyglot​, who helped me plot out the story, @motherkatereloyshipper, who found lovely pics of Liam for me and used her magic to make him look ‘younger’ and last, but far from least, @apiratewhopines, who has been messaging me every night to see how close the story is to being finished! The enthusiasm for it from all the ladies on the CSMM Discord has also been very much appreciated!

“Liam, would you please stop jiggling your leg? It’s annoying,” Killian Jones growled at his older brother. 

“I can’t help it. This interview is very important for my future, and yours as well,” Liam said. 

Killian checked the time on his phone. “You still have nearly twenty minutes to wait. Why the bloody hell did we get here so early?”

“I wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to be late. You could have stayed at the hotel, you know.” 

“I thought that would be boring, but sitting here doing nothing is probably even worse.” 

“Stop your grousing, brother. Why don’t you use your little book to plot out our itinerary for the week?” he said, gesturing toward the San Francisco tour book laying on Killian’s lap. 

After giving him an indignant look, Killian flipped open the well-worn book and began paging through it. 

A few minutes later, he heard Liam give a low whistle before whispering, “Wow! What a stunner!” 

Killian looked up from studying the book to see an absolute vision in front of him. A blonde woman dressed in a red blouse, black leather jacket, and jeans which deliciously hugged her curves, was coming up the escalator from the parking garage. He could feel his mouth drop open in awe of her beauty as she approached, accompanied by a man of average height, with slightly shaggy brown hair, dressed in a gray suit. Killian’s eyes narrowed as he appraised the man, sensing an air of superiority and arrogance about him. 

“Now, stay right here. I’ll be back as soon as my meeting is over,” he was saying, and Killian couldn’t help but notice he was talking to the woman like she was a small child. 

Evidently, she felt the same way. “Do you think I’m five-years-old, Walsh?” 

“Of course not, Darling,” he replied in an oily tone. “I just don’t know how long I’ll be gone and I don’t want you worrying about where I am.” 

“I’m sure I’ll be able to entertain myself for a while,” she said, and Killian smirked at her eye roll. 

“Very well, I have to go. Mustn’t be late and make a bad impression, you know,” the man said, holding up his wrist to check his large and garish watch. “Try not to miss me too much, Darling.” He aimed a kiss at her lips, but she turned her head to accept it on her cheek instead. 

The woman watched him walk away, then sank down into the chair across from Killian with a sigh. When she glanced up to see him looking at her, her eyes widened behind the dark frames of her glasses and then she smiled. 

Killian could feel the heat creeping into his face, but he didn’t look away. “Uh, hi,” he ventured. He felt Liam shift beside him, his elbow digging into his side a bit. 

“Hi.” she replied.

“Oh, um, I’m…I’m Killian Jones,” he stuttered, offering his hand. 

“Emma Swan,” she responded, accepting his hand and shaking it. 

“And I’m Liam Jones, Killian’s big brother,” Liam said, also shaking her hand. 

“Older brother,” Killian corrected. 

Emma giggled. “You guys don’t sound like you’re from around here.”

My contribution to the ‘Heatwave Collection’

With the hot temperatures that many people have been experiencing recently, several of us have written Captain Swan ‘heatwave stories’. The idea was suggested by @cs-rylie on the CSMM Discord, so I owe her thanks for that, and also for looking over this story as I wrote it. Of course, @hookedmom was once again my fabulous beta, catching all my errors, and giving helpful suggestions to make this story better. 

You can find the ‘Heatwave Collection’ on Ao3 here. Be sure to check out all the great stories! 

SUMMARY: A heatwave in Storybrooke has everyone on edge, and Emma is feeling the heat of being the town sheriff. Her pirate takes it upon himself to help his wife find some relief from the weather and the pressures of her job.

“Good afternoon, Love,” Killian greeted as he entered the stuffy confines of the Storybrooke police station. 

Emma looked up from the paperwork she was attempting to put in order, but was being hindered by the oscillating fan sitting on the corner of her desk. How could her husband look so damn hot when it was…so damn hot? Even the way the sweaty, rogue strands of hair fell across his forehead into his eyes was sexy. 

“What’s good about it?” she grumbled. 

He crossed the room in four quick strides, his smile fading a bit as he took in his wife’s scowling face. “Something wrong, Swan?” 

“Wrong? Oh, no, nothing’s wrong,” she spat sarcastically. “The heat is just making every citizen in this town lose their damn mind! And of course, it’s the sheriff’s job to solve all the problems around here, so half the morning was spent running from dwarf to dwarf, trying to figure out who stole whose fan. Then there was the case of the fender bender in the grocery store parking lot, where the worst damage was the ice cream that melted all over the back seat, while they waited for me to arrive. I caught hell for that! It’s not my fault it’s almost a hundred degrees and nobody can handle it!” 

Recalling how they both used those same words in the sultry jungle of Neverland before their first kiss, Killian smirked, which was probably the worst thing he could have done at that moment. When Emma looked up and caught sight of his expression, she jumped up from her chair, her hands in fists as she leaned on her desk. “What the hell is so funny, Jones?” 

He held his hand up placatingly. “Calm down, Swan, I’m not making light of your challenging day. I was simply reminded of those particular words being used several years ago, while experiencing a different sort of simmering heat.” 

Her brows scrunched together as she tried to decipher his meaning. He could tell the exact moment she figured it out, because her face melted into a soft smile. “Oh, yeah. Well, that heat was much more fun.” 

“Aye, and it still is,” he purred, sauntering up beside her and rubbing his hook against her hip, while his hand slid up her bare arm. Her attire of a tank top and khaki shorts wasn’t exactly professional, but he couldn’t say he minded. 

“Don’t start anything, Killian. This office is a furnace and I’m a sweaty mess.” 

“You look ravishing, Darling.” 

She rolled her eyes disbelievingly, but couldn’t keep the corners of her mouth from turning up a bit. “All the same, in this heat, even fooling around with my hot husband doesn’t sound appealing.” 

“In that case, what do you say we sail away, Love?” 

Emma sighed. “I can’t, Babe. I’m supposed to be in the office until five, so I’ve still got a couple hours of insanity left.” 

“I would say you’ve done enough for the fair citizens of Storybrooke today. Let them figure out their own issues for the remainder of your shift. Just think how lovely it would be to feel the sea breeze in your hair and on your face.”

“Don’t tempt me. You know Madam Mayor would be after my head if she hears I left work early.” 

He nuzzled behind her ear, murmuring, “Regina doesn’t intimidate me. Besides, this pretty head belongs to me, Mrs. Jones.” 

“Killian,” she groaned, though her attempt at rebuffing him didn’t have much effect, since she was tilting her head to allow him access to the column of her throat. 

“You know you want to get away from here,” he whispered. “No more dwarves, no more hot office, no more complaints. Just you,” he paused to nibble on her collarbone, “me,” another love bite, “and the Jolly Roger. I’ll even mix up some of your favorite concoction to bring along.” 

“Rum punch?” she asked breathlessly. 

“Mmhmm. What do you say, Love?” 

“I say you had me at ‘no more dwarves’.”

Lunch is on Me  (A CS AU Story)

This story is inspired by a post that’s been circulating on social media and I thought it was perfect for our beloved Captain Swan. Many, many thanks to @motherkatereloyshipper​​ who created Liam’s tombstone picture for the pic set, @apiratewhopines​​ who constantly fluffs my aura and who gave me useful feedback for the story, the ladies on the CSMM Discord for their help on the pic set, and (you know what’s coming next!) my dedicated and loyal beta @hookedmom​​​, who has been with me through thick and thin and who makes every story I throw at her 100% better! 

Story Summary: Emma Swan makes a mistake when ordering a DoorDash delivery and tells the driver to keep the food for himself. The response she gets moves her to tears and has her hoping to meet the man in person someday.

*********

“Dammit!” Emma Swan cursed, reading the message on her phone. 

This is Killian, your DoorDash driver. I’m here to deliver your food. 

In her haste to get lunch delivered while she had a break between regional business meetings, she forgot to change the address for delivery to her hotel in New York City, instead of her apartment in Boston. Now, some poor guy was standing at her door with her food order, and she was going to have to resort to stale vending machine snacks. 

I’m sorry, I forgot to change the delivery address. Enjoy the food. Lunch is on me. 

She quickly checked her hair and makeup in the mirror, gathered up her room key and purse, and was on her way to the door when her phone dinged with another notification. 

Umm…okay. Thanks very much. 

Sighing, she went out into the hallway and turned left, in search of the nearest vending machine. 

*********

Emma’s meetings in the hotel conference room stretched on into late afternoon, while she grew increasingly bored and hungry. How many times could they reiterate the plummeting sales numbers and explore possible interventions to halt the decline and improve the bottom line? She knew she should be more concerned, but at the moment, her growling stomach was demanding more attention than the lack of sales. 

When the final speaker of the day began wrapping up his presentation, Emma chanced a look at her phone to check the time. Her screen displayed another message from DoorDash and as she read it, tears instantly filled her eyes. 

Thanks again for your generosity. Your home is very near the cemetery where my brother is laid to rest, and since today is his birthday, I had lunch with him there. That means more to me than I can say and I truly appreciate your kindness. 

Emma checked the time stamp and saw that the message came through over two hours ago. She wondered if she should reply to it or not, and finally decided that such a heart-wrenching admission deserved to be answered. 

Please accept my sincere sympathy for the loss of your brother. I’m glad you had an opportunity to spend some time with him, and that the food helped make that happen. I hope it was a good day. 

Noticing that the presenter was finally finished, she closed her laptop, stuffed it into the case, collected all of her belongings, and hurried out of the room, intent on placing an extra large DoorDash order to be delivered to her hotel room this time. 

*********

The week after Killian had lunch at the cemetery with Liam, he turned on his DoorDash app and scrolled through the requests. One name and address in particular caught his eye, and he sat up straighter on the couch, tapping on it quickly to claim the request. He was happy he would get a chance to thank the woman who treated him to lunch in person. 

*********

On the Wednesday after Emma returned home from attending the regional meetings, she placed a DoorDash order and was pleasantly surprised to see that the driver’s name was Killian. Of course, it didn’t necessarily mean it was the same delivery person as the one to whom she’d donated her lunch, but how many Killians could there possibly be in Boston? It wasn’t exactly a common name. 

Her question was answered with the next communication she received from him. This is Killian, your DoorDash driver. I’ll be making a delivery to you in about fifteen minutes. Will you be home this time? 

She laughed and typed out a response. Yes, this time I AM home, so I’m afraid you’ll have to buy your own dinner tonight!

She hoped the man didn’t mind her playful teasing. He seemed to be a good sport and she was curious to put a face to his name. She assumed he was an older man, since he had a brother who was deceased. Maybe he was earning some extra cash to supplement his retirement income, or was helping one of his children pay for college expenses by DoorDashing in the evenings, after working another job during the day. 

The knock at the door took her by surprise. She had gotten busy sorting through her winter clothing before storing it away for the summer and lost track of time. She hurried through the apartment, stopping to grab her phone off the arm of the couch, checking to see if she had a new message from the driver. Seeing that he had sent one a minute ago saying he had arrived at her apartment building, she threw the door open without checking through the peephole.

Where Her Heart Belongs (my CSSNS story)

This is my first contribution to the Captain Swan Supernatural Summer event, and it wouldn’t be possible without many people. 

First of all, thank you to the CSSNS 2022 mods for having this event.

I am beyond excited to be paired with @winterbythesea​​, who created not one, but FOUR absolutely gorgeous pieces of art for this story! Her banner is at the top, and the other three pieces are scattered throughout the story. I only hope it is worthy of her beautiful work!

Thank you to @hookedmom​​, who read over the story at least a dozen times to help me plot and make it as error free and enjoyable to read as possible. Thanks also to @winterbythesea​ and @snowbellewells​, who read over it to give me suggestions and feedback. It has definitely come a long way since the first draft!

Story summary: In the Land Without Magic, Emma Swan is quietly living her solitary life. When she finds a unique storybook in the library, strange things begin to happen. A canon divergent story which started out based on the movie “Somewhere in Time”, but evolved into something else entirely.

*********

Emma Swan pushed through the doors of the Columbus Public Library and inhaled the familiar scent of paper and ink. She knew many people relied on various forms of technology to do their research and reading these days, but in her opinion, nothing was better than the feeling of having an actual book in her hands.

“Good morning!” greeted the man at the circulation desk.

“Good morning,” Emma returned, looking at him curiously as she placed the books she had finished reading in the return slot. In all the times she had come to the library, she’d never seen this man working before - he must be new.

“Looking for anything in particular today?”

“Umm…I’m not sure. I guess I’ll just follow wherever my mood takes me.”

“You should check out our new fairytales section on the second floor,” the man said, gesturing toward the staircase to his left.

“Oh, uh, thanks. I might check it out a little later,” Emma replied.

“Be sure you do. I think you’ll find something there that will spark your interest.” He threw her a warm, dimpled smile, before resuming his typing. Emma’s curiosity about the man was piqued even more when she noticed that instead of using a computer, he was using an old-fashioned, manual typewriter.

She walked through the adult non-fiction section and peeked into the periodicals corner, where several retired senior citizens were reading newspapers. When she reached the area containing adult fiction, she ran her finger across several of the bindings and pulled out a few books to read the summaries on the back cover. None of them drew her attention, so she decided to go upstairs to search for the area the librarian recommended.

Every now and then, she liked to check out picture books, graphic novels or books for younger readers. She rarely had the opportunity to visit libraries when she was growing up in the foster system, so she ignored the social conventions and selected whatever struck her fancy.

She preferred coming to the library in the late morning when it wasn’t very busy, since most young patrons were in school. The quiet solitude of being among her beloved books was a balm that renewed her soul, and restored the faith in the goodness of mankind that her job as a bail bondsperson often depleted.

When she reached the top of the stairs, she glanced around and didn’t immediately see the new section, but something instinctively told her to turn right and go around the corner at the end of the aisle. There, she saw two very realistic columns decorated to look like those that would belong inside a castle. As she stepped between them, she took in the dozens of books neatly stacked on the shelves.

After collecting a couple of books with gilded edges, she carried them to a nearby armchair to peruse them. Losing herself in the stories, she was unaware how much time had passed, until she pulled her attention away from one of the books and checked the display on her phone.

When she glanced around the perimeter of the area, her eyes were drawn to an oversized book sticking out over the edge of the top shelf. Rising from her chair, she approached the shelf and reached up with one hand to slide the book toward herself. Realizing too late she had misjudged its weight, she tried to grab it with her other hand, but failed to catch it. The book clattered to the floor, flipping open to a page which revealed a very detailed color illustration. She looked around in embarrassment before bending down to pick up the book. Upon getting a better look at the picture, her eyes widened and her jaw dropped.

The full-page image featured an extremely handsome, but dangerous-looking man. He was dressed in a black leather coat with a high collar, a black blousy shirt unbuttoned to the middle of his chest, and wore a chain with numerous charms around his neck. He was holding the ship’s wheel and had a hook in the place of his left hand. Mesmerized by his cornflower blue eyes and his dark, wind-blown hair, Emma dropped down to her knees to get a closer look.

ONLY ONE LIFE ♡

Here is a little something that I hope can be inspiring as we step into another page of the brand new notebook consisting of 365 pages. And there’s a little personal note at the end of the post. Please remember that this clip is a spoiler from an unreleased content on the global server. So if you don’t want to be spoiled, please just directly scroll down to the “personal note” part. ♡

┈┈ ◍♡◍ ┈┈┈ ◍♡◍ ┈┈

[Note]: This clip is from Victor’s Business Exhibition Date (企展之約), where LFG participates in a corporate cultural exhibition for elementary and middle school students, and in this part they are talking about the “hope” Victor has written down for the students to hang in the “Hope Tree” :>

–

I hurriedly take several steps forward to catch up to him, taking his arm.

MC: Victor, why did you write “You only have one life” on the post-it note today?

Victor: It’s true that you only have one life. Even an elementary school student knows this principle.

MC: ....that’s not what I meant.

MC: I’m asking, what did you want to imply in it? For example, are you asking the kids to seize the day and work their hardest?

His gaze lands on me. Seeing the serious look on my face, he slows down his pace slightly.

Victor: If you were to meet your childhood self, would you tell her to work her hardest?

MC: Hmm.... it’s hard to say.

MC: I might tell her what she needs to do in order for the me in the present to be even happier?

Victor: And that’s the reason why you can’t preach to others using an overly objective and rational principle.

Victor: Admittedly, it’s a desirable trait to work one’s hardest so that nothing will be an excuse to stop in their footsteps.

Victor: But this doesn’t mean everyone must have the goal of working their hardest. After all, everyone has different expectations of themselves.

Victor: Not everyone wants to stand at the peak.

Victor: As compared to looking down from the mountaintop, there some people who just wish to happily appreciate the scenery along the way without much hassle.

Victor: This might sound simple, but being an ordinary person isn’t an easy thing either.

Victor: “You only have one life” – this phrase can have many meanings under different contexts.

I’m stunned for a moment. I initially thought that Victor’s words were meant to be an inspirational quote about success, but I didn’t expect for him to have such thoughts.

Even when faced with young and tender children, he doesn’t want to give a defined answer on the basis that he is a mature adult.

My lips curl upwards, and I can’t resist sticking a little closer to him.

MC: You are right. Aside from the ones who stand at the peak, there are even more ordinary people in this world.

MC: Ordinary people have only one life too. They also need to cherish it properly and do the things they want to do.

MC: CEO Victor, I have learned from your advice!

✧ Personal Note ✧

My last year on Tumblr has been absolutely amazing. Initially, I started the blog cause it seemed an interesting app, which now has turned into a beautiful part in my memories. I have met so many amazing people here and have made many great friends as well. You guys have been so inspiring and loving. Every text, ask, comment– any interaction I’ve had with any of you has made my time worthwhile and it was absolutely inspiring. Thank you guys so much for everything! ♡

This year, the coming days may get progressively busier as my university will be conducting physical classes. And as a fresher, I have many things I need to figure out! :> So inevitably, I will be dedicating more of my time in my studies, in the world of CS and in figuring out life HAHA~

So my time on the blog might gradually decrease. Rest assured though, I will still try my best to make time and annoy you people with my ramblings HAHA, cause no matter how busy, bumpy, distracting, adventurous life gets or it has gotten in the past, my love for this man and this game has always been on the constant rise~ ಡ ͜ ಡ

Anyway, let’s see what the coming days has to offer! I hope that the coming days will bring us many many many pleasant surprises, blessings, perhaps one or two bumps in the road to make the good worth its value, and maybe a miracle wouldn’t be too bad either HAHA~ (✯ᴗ✯) May we can achieve the things we couldn’t in the year before; be it reaching a new career goal or a life’s resolution we’ve set for ourselves or be it simply spending a little more time with our loved ones. We have only one life after all. So as long as it’s within our power, let’s not hesitate to make the most of it!!

And even though a little late for this.... Happy New Year, everyone!!! (*´ω｀*)ﾉ♡
