Benedict Cumberbatch´s year in review ✧ 2024.

"This isn’t a very natural thing, you know what I’m doing right now, talking to all of you, but the person in here, that’s carrying this through to try and communicate to you, is someone who’s tied to people that they’ve known for a long time in their life, tied to family, tied to children, tied to things that keep me grounded. I’m not afraid to tackle darkness or difficulty or the less attractive sides of the human condition as long as I know there is space to take that off and put that on, and if I feel safe doing that, then I’m good.” x

Could I inquire about BH6 fic #20?

You can! Number 20 is: The sequel to Safe in Brother's Wings, titled Further Wingbeats.

Basically I started writing this up when Season 3 of BH6 was first airing because I was also working on Safe in Brother's Wings at the time, with a focus on okay how does this get changed up with the bird-kids added? Let's just say stuff like Hardlight's return goes very different. X'D

There's also the added dynamic of Tadashi and the other de-mutated characters getting reintegrated into society (since Tadashi's legally dead he's got a lot of paperwork to untangle) and the monster characters getting legally recognized (Fred helps here) and Liv Amara dealing with the fallout of Di's actions. Basically Season 3 acts as a bit of a rough outline but the meat of the story is dealing with the aftermath of Safe in Brother's Wings. I really need to get back to it, currently there's 171 pages and 68K+ words so it's still at best a third of the way done (maybe in August).

Thank you for the ask! :D

There's still more to reveal, friends.

A Letter of Feathers (part 3)

The year was 2060, soon after the last of humans had passed on due to natural causes. She was an old lady living on one of the Caribbean Islands. She had a pet dog who, by the time the lady was on her deathbed, had self-implanted the chip so that he could be with her during her last breath. He wanted to tell her- with his own voice- that he loved her with every cell of his body. The two had developed a bond so deep that even after the old lady was gone, the dog didn't leave her room for five days.

I couldn't make it to the funeral. It was a remarkable day in the history of animal kind- the world was finally ours- and I, being the important personality I was back then, had a bunch of paperwork to attend to. I did, however, go to pay my respects a week later. I met the dog then as he was the one who provided for my accommodation and travel. The neighbours had told me everything about her and the dog's relationship and how he had grieved extensively after her passing. So, when I got a moment alone with the dog, I offered my condolences and courteously asked him about her. I really wanted the full picture. I needed to know two things distinctly- a) How in the world did he self-implant the chip, and b) Whether he was able to tell the old lady how much he loved her.

His reply was shocking. Honestly, in all those years, I had never even thought that I would have to witness this again but as my luck would have it, it had to happen. Like some sort of punishment for helping the humans. The dog said two painful words and I quote in rather bold letters:

"I forgot."

Guess I would never know the answers to my two questions. As a researcher, I was hell-bent on finding the cause of his forgetfulness. Was it the self-implant? Was it the love? Did the human meddle with his chip? From what I heard, the last one seemed highly unlikely. I was told by many that the woman adored the dog. And, also from what I heard prior to my interaction with the dog, he adored her too. It's ironic and tragic that he seemed to have forgotten about her entirely only in a week's time from her death. I do sincerely hope he told her- spoke to her- as she drew in air one last time. I pray that his words for her filled her heart with nothing but joy as it beat one last time. Believe me when I say this- arrogant and shrewd as I may seem, I was truly sad to know she had died. I wasn't- I am not the type who enjoys murdering millions.

I took the dog under my care. He remembered nothing, nothing at all. I ran some tests and further diagnostics but the results proved unhelpful. I had a dog who forgot but everything in his body and mind was functioning normally. I even analysed his chip. The implantation was perfectly done- the placement, the angle, the insertion- all flawlessly executed. How I wish I knew the secret behind the dog's self-implant!

Soon after, the dog actually escaped from my care. We searched the area for a few days but there was no sign of the dog. It's been 10 years now and we still haven't found him.

Chapter 27 will be published tomorrow! 🎉 Best come prepared with a spray bottle because I officially can't control these two any more.

'Fine, fine. How about this, then?' He plunged his hand into his trouser pocket and began rummaging elbow-deep within its enchanted depths. 'Hang on, it's here somewhere. Nicked it from Ominis.'

Sighing, Aurélie held out her hands expectantly. 'I need to get you a bag,' she commented as he piled his usual assortment of Every Flavour Beans and scraps of parchment and bits of mallowsweet into her waiting palms.

Sebastian snorted. 'I'm not carrying a bag around, I'd look like a girl. Besides, it'd be too easy to steal from.'

'Well, what if someone steals your pants?'

He cracked a wry grin. 'If you're trying to get my pants off, all you have to do is ask.'

EPILOGUE - Part 3 (of 4... dammit) - She's Come Undone and Set Free- Angry BAMF Elena Fic

relationships: elena/elijah, elena & rebekah, elena & caroline, elena & bonnie, caroline/klaus, bonnie/rebekah

summary:

She’d been free. Freed from a conscience she couldn’t afford to give up again. Free from the grief she’d never actually wanted to abandon, not until the choice was taken from her. But also free from the two brothers that had been taking choices away from her from the moment they’d come to town.

And she didn’t want to give that freedom up. She wouldn’t. Not ever again.

/or/

When Elena feels her humanity returning she finds herself focusing on having finally been free from the Salvatore brothers, and doesn't abandon her justified anger. Unfortunately, she also realizes that her sire bond to Damon isn't fully broken and goes to Rebekah for help, help that involves a little trip to New Orleans.

On the way, Elena will have to deal with her newly returned humanity as well as some long-awaited truths about Caroline's old relationship with the older Salvatore.

There are some things that even the most compassionate person could never forgive.

sneak peek:

"Hey, Elena, can we talk?" Bonnie asked, feeling a lead weight in the core of her stomach that she'd been ignoring for months now. She'd been putting off facing it, for a change letting herself enjoy the rainbow of feelings that Rebekah made bloom in every corner of Bonnie's heart - a sensation that terrified her in how little it made Bonnie hesitate to commit to it lately. Back when Bonnie had first knocked on Rebekah's door, she'd thought it would be a reckless adventure that would end with a fond kiss and no nicks to the heart - because how hard could it really be to maintain emotional space from a Mikaelson? Well, as Bonnie had learned before she went off to face Silas when she weaved a sleeping spell into her kiss to keep Rebekah safe... quite impossible. And now Bonnie feared it would hurt a great deal. "Sure," Elena said, closing her laptop and clearing away some papers to free up space for Bonnie to sit beside her on her dorm bed. "what's up?" Bonnie sat. Hands in her lap, playing with the silver bracelet set with emeralds that Rebekah had gifted her a few weeks ago for their first anniversary. Bonnie's eyes closed with the memory of Rebekah's voice - 'They match your eyes.' "I got into Loyola University New Orleans, I could transfer starting next semester," Bonnie admitted, swallowing and opening her eyes again to stare over Elena's shoulder. "That's great," Elena exclaimed, moving to hug her but halting when Bonnie could only manage to smile wanly "...that's, not great?" She felt a traitorous tear leak past the corner of her eyelid.

sweetest grey . . your recent post has me very curious if you and sunday have favorite spots to kiss ?? :> are there any places that make him / you blush harder than others ?? 🤲🏻🤍

Evie ohmigoodness hello (///∇///)

Oooo our favorite spots to kiss~?

I love giving his wings little kisses just because it gets him so flustered 🤭 but other than that his collarbone is a top spot for me ehehe his skin is so fair aughhh how could I not kiss?

He likes to kiss the back of my neck and my ankles (*ﾉ▽ﾉ*) when he helps me put heels on, he'll press a kiss to my ankle, and whenever he catches me from behind he'll kiss the back of my neck ( 〃▽〃) loves giving me forehead kisses too :3c

Wahaha as for places that make him blush~ sometimes when we're sitting together, I like to kiss the inside of his wrist, and that always catches him off guard! But ohh when he kisses my neck (*/∀＼*) i get soo warm ahem- i've always hated neck kisses but it's just so nice with sunday ♡

Thank you my dear evie for stopping by! Iluuu and I hope you're having such a good week so far~♡
