#rebumping this one...

[hakusins]

hakudean note: finally found time to do this!! anyways here is a long overdue mini event to celebrate 360+ followers on tumblr! first, i want to say thank you to all of you for your support and love through these few months!! when i dabbled into the dol fandom, i honestly never thought i'd get a lot of engagement and was content with just having fun. BUT HERE WE ARE! 360+ and probably still growing! no amount of words can thank my friends, mutuals and followers for this! i honestly would've lost interest long ago had it not been for all of you guys. so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for the support! as a thank you and to give back to the community that supported me these past few months, i've decided to open this mini event!

Mini Event - Drawing Requests! (5/5)

for a limited amount of time, i'll be accepting drawing requests! at the moment, i'll only accept 5 at a time. i can't promise that i'll open requests again after drawing the original 5, but i will do my best!

also i am planning on streaming the drawing process for these requests! however, right now im still in the process of testing the streaming site, so no promises on this part ! INFO ON STREAMING (UPDATED): hey guys so i overestimated my laptops capability to handle streaming 😭 i couldn't even draw a single line without the fans going crazy, so i'm gonna have to cancel streaming overall :(( hopefully one day when i get a pc, I'll be able to stream! but for now as a compromise i'll be recording the drawing process and then posting it! sorry again for not being able to pull through on the streaming stuff.

before sending requests, PLEASE READ the rules down below! otherwise i won't accept your request!

DETAILS BELOW!

rules:

no anons and please only send your request ONCE so everyone has a chance to request art! if you want to remain anonymous, just let me know in the message and i'll be sure to post the art with your request and block out your username + profile!

no nsfw + furry + mecha- big fan of them, its just unfortunate that i don't have a lot of energy and these pieces take a lot of my energy to make!

maximum 3 characters at a time!

not really a rule but a strong recommendation: if you want me to draw your oc/pc, pls send as much ref pics as you can! that way i can draw your babies to the best of my ability!

there's a counter on this post on how many requests i'm still accepting. i will possible add onto this post if i want to refresh that counter and accept more requests!

the list will probably grow as the event goes on, so please keep an eye out on updates in case i rebump this post a few times!

Finally: if you've read all of the rules and are ready to request some art, be sure to mention the phrase 'Lightswitch', in your request! That way I'd know you've read all the rules. (Requests that don't have this phrase will be deleted).

Ok, I'm spinning this off the Msscribe post since it's tangential, but I would LOVE to hear some of your recollections of trolling on the old Discworld forums. I was part of those forums probably around the same time (small world) but my memories are also hazy. There was a migration when the forums had to move off the official site - someone from the community set up a new version, if I remember correctly. I'm curious whether you joined before or after than shift. I was there from the early 2000s I think.

I joined shortly before. So, the migration off the the official site, which was officially set up by Harper-Collins, but which no one at Harper Collins had payed any attention to in years, was specifically driven by trolling. One of the site's recurring trolls had taken to spamming the site by bumping years old threads, so that all of the current threads were driven off of the main page. They did this every day, around 4am pst. Ultimately, this was only slightly more than a mild inconvenience, as soon as the necropost spree ended, people would just rebump the active threads. The main issue was that no one had heard from the moderators in years, so no one could just ban the trolls. This was what prompted the bulk of the community to move to the new site, where there would be actual mods.

My understanding was that the fora had been hounded by a cabal of trolls (or possibly just one with an army of sock-puppet accounts) on and off for years. I only joined a few months before the move offsite, so I don't know the details of that.

I remember that the forum culture was dominated by a trio of users who were jokingly venerated as gods, each of whom had their own church that other forum members could join. (I joined as an acolyte of the God of Pie.) Apparently there was a contingent of forumgoers who were annoyed by this, or otherwise disliked the three "gods" and resented how popular they were, and this came to a head shortly before the big move, when everyone's nerves were a bit freyed from the incessent trolling. A big flame war ensued, and a faction of these users all left the site, seperate from the mass exodus that happened a bit later. (Again, I was new to the site when this happened, do I wasn't super familiar with the personalities of the people involved, or what the dispute was even about.) I don't know if these people kept in touch or founded their own site, but they were basically unpersoned from the larger community.

(One popular activity on the old site was the writing of "board fics", basically short fiction where the characters were named after other posters on the board and were loosly inspired by the posters' online personas. This was not carried over to the new site, as several of the most prominent writers were in the group that left the community.)

The community was a lot more harmonious after the move to the new site, at least as far as I recall. Eventually, I got it into my head to hand-install Linux on my laptop as a dumb teenager with no technical experience. I therefore spent most of my free time for the next few months working on getting my laptop configured to the point where it was a functional computer again, and consequently dropped off of the site. Eventually I got my laptop working, and returned, but then drifted off again. (I had recently discovered that BitTorrent could be used to download anime off the internet, and so my online presence shifted to being focused around that for the next few years.)

✩ VOLDEMORT HAS FALLEN !

... on Halloween, 2024, the boy who lived, NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM, has survived the killing curse. Protected by his mother and father's love, true evil has been banished from society as the fragile lingering fragments of the hollow soul of Lord Voldemort were shattered into dust. The husk of the man himself has disappeared, merging finally with the darkness he had become over the course of his wretched life. Unfortunately he was not the only casualty of this senseless attack ... FRANK & ALICE LONGBOTTOM were found deceased at the scene by first Order of the Phoenix responders Alastor Moody, Gideon Prewett & Lily Evans. They are now tirelessly trying to understand why this family was targeted. Could it have been a prophecy? The world is currently torn. Some are simultaneously feeling the pain of losing their friends & the relief that the Death Eaters no longer have a commander - there is no denying that hope for a brighter future is hand in hand with grief. Others are afraid of the direction society is going to head toward with the figurehead of one side of a war being suddenly taken down - will chaos dominate? Will someone even worse take his place? Will anyone be held accountable for the crimes they committed in his name, or do the seeds of Ministry corruption that Voldemort planted run so deep that not even his death is enough to help justice prevail?

this server is a *modern* marauder era au. the prompt: what if the longbottoms were targeted instead of the potters? our goal is to keep the server casual enough for older writers to keep up with but still have some fun twists & events sprinkled in along the way!

I HAST A QUERY! 1, 4, 5, 6 for the fic writer ask!!!!!!! ur my best Bro 💙💪🏽

:3 love ya too my best bro

Aight so since I’ve written a lot of fic, I guess I’m going to answer the first two in context of writing In His Element(s)?

1. Who is the hardest character for you to write?

So far I’ve actually had a lot of trouble writing All Might’s parts? (which is why he hasn’t been included as much, oops.) Todoroki is sometimes a little funky because I have to constantly remember which stage in his emotional journey he’s in haha.

2. Who is the easiest character for you to write?

Aang and Aizawa are both really easy for me even though they’re both at opposite ends of the snark spectrum. They both have different sass styles and idk I really vibe with both of them.

3. How do you know if your writing is “in character”?

I rewatch or reread the source material a lot. Like, a lot. I also reference other fic writers- like if I know a specific author has really nailed a certain character, I’ll go through and read some of their stuff for inspiration. (Shameless shout outs here) Like I go back and read through @pitviperofdoom if I really want to nail Aizawa or Midoriya and somethings bugging me, and I’ve gone back through @norcumi works for a lot of really good clone characterization (especially Rex) and @stonefreeak to really nail some Obi-Wan vibes.

4. Where do your story ideas come from?

My brain is a crazy place to be sometimes. Like I’ve said before, I have a thing for crossovers. So a lot of times, I’ll absorb new story from wherever and immediately think “hey how would these two characters interact” and then just kind of... open a new google doc and word smash my stream of consciousness thoughts onto the page. Or, you know. Discord scream with friends until one of you writes that perfect fic idea that you all collectively harped in on.

5. Do you tell the people in your life that you write fics?

Yeah, they know. Do I let them read my work? Fuck no.

6. What has been the hardest fic for you to write?

Hmmm a lot of fics I’ve written are difficult in their own way? Like IHE is hard because its so damn long compared to other fics I’ve written in the past, but Here and There and Back again is difficult because the characters really weren’t vibing with me for a while, and I’ve haven't posted the new chapter yet.

Thanks for the ask! (again lol) I’ll rebump this ask game page if anyone else wants to chime in for questions :D

3 Ways You Can Use Sales Automation to Convert More Leads into Meetings

Salespeople are at their most valuable when interacting with customers one-on-one. They are highly trained, highly paid professionals who want to convert as many leads into sales as possible. In fact, 80% of sales people think the phone (where they can sell one on one) is the best channel for closing a deal.

The problem is that setting up a meeting with a lead requires a lot of tedious and repetitive work which humans don’t do well. Automation helps a lot but doesn’t replace the sales person. Instead, it takes care of the necessary tasks that don’t require a human touch, freeing up your salespeople to have as much one on one selling time as possible.

Adopting automation doesn’t even mean upending your sales process. Here are three simple ways of harnessing automation which will unlock your sales reps’ ability to make conversions.

1. Stick to Email For as Many Interactions as Possible

One on one interactions are essential for closing but it is difficult to scale them. Where somebody talking on the phone might be able to make 8 calls an hour, you can prepare and send 200 personalized email campaigns in half that time.

Because email doesn’t require a person to communicate in real time, it allows human input to be focused on creating personalized content. Repetitive content and delivery scheduling can be handed over to your sales automation software.

Let me give you an example. Most of the words in an email can be repeated. This means that you can create a template with spaces left for the sections you want to personalize. If you use an email outreach automator like Growbots, Yesware, or Outreach, all your sales rep has to do is create personalized information to feed into the template, saving them from having to write a completely new message every time.

That really comes in handy when you consider that with cold outreach only half of the responses you get come after your first email. We did a study of over 600,000 cold email campaigns sent on our platform to find out what percentage of positive responses come after each email in your outreach sequence. What we found was to get 97% of your potential responses, you need to send at least four emails.

Graph showing the percentage of positive responses that come after each email in your sequence.

It takes only a few minutes to set up a sequence of messages to be scheduled automatically to hundreds of email addresses. Not only that but most decision makers check their own email. Over the phone, that many touch points would take over three days. Even then your sales reps are more often than not likely to reach their lead’s secretaries or some other gatekeeper that they will need to work past.

It is easy to test and optimize different aspects of your delivery and messaging. Your templates can be easily A/B tested to see which subject line, format, and sequence works best. Even optimizing the time of delivery can have a big effect on the response rate. Different targets have different habits when it comes to positively responding to your emails. Take the example of this prospect:

You can double your conversion rate. (Image Source)

Automation means you can schedule your emails to be delivered at the right time, pretty much doubling your conversion rate over less desirable times.

2. Collect and Reuse Content That Works

You will find that certain responses to questions and objections work better than others. These can be loaded into an email accelerator like Cirrus Insight or Mixmax. They sit in your inbox and provide you with a previously prepared response you can send out immediately. You can also share these responses with new members of the team so that they don’t need extensive onboarding before they can begin fielding queries from leads.

When a lead needs more convincing or stops responding, they are not lost. An email automator like followup.cc, rebump, or vocus, lets you set up a sequence of automated messages that you can customize to address the specific pain points the lead has. Your sales rep can use a combination of responses that have previously been effective and then set them to deliver automatically. This way they can keep in contact with this lead without having to take the time to continually check in with them.

3. Don’t Leave Meeting Scheduling to Chance

After your sales rep has done all of the work to get a one on one meeting, they don’t want to lose the lead in the time between agreeing to meet and holding the meeting. Despite the fact that your sales rep’s lead has signaled that they want to meet, they can still lose them if your sales rep isn’t careful.

The ensuing back and forth that comes from agreeing to a time to meet loses a surprising number of leads. An automated meeting scheduler allows your lead to pick a time when both of you are available. There is no back and forth and no chance for the meeting to be broken.

An automated scheduler will not only update both your calendars but send a friendly reminder to your lead. While this may not sound like a lot, it makes a big difference. Before we started using a scheduling automator like Calendly, only about half of the meetings we set would be attended. After that number rose to 74%.

A scheduling automator frees up your sales rep’s time while doing the job better than they could do themselves.

It is time to unleash your sales reps with automation

Automation is most effective when it gives your sales people more time to speak one on one with their leads. Things that computers do well and humans don’t, like scheduling interactions and doing repetitive processes, can be easily automated. This means that your sales reps can add their human touch to many more interactions. We have found that on average, a sales rep can triple the number of meetings they book using automation than they can without it.

♥・。.。*♥*。.。·*♥*·。.。*♥*·。.。*♥*。.。·*♥

‘Even if we were to find another way, perhaps this is the right way. The end that fate wishes for me.’

Gale’s words curdle inside Ciri. She tries to forget them, focussing instead on the sea of light drifting above her. She’d thought the Shadow Curse impenetrable, every glint of her fire eaten by the darkness if it strayed too far from her palm, but tonight she stands unharmed within it, the evil veiled behind a painting of colours and stars– a magic just for her. For them.

‘I wanted to spend it under a canopy of beauty and wonder. And with company to match.’

Her lip bleeds as she bites it. They were such soft words, sweet words, drenched in ardour like he could dull the razor’s edge of his decision if his tone was gentle enough. Perhaps what stings that most is that it worked. Her protest had been lost to the kiss that followed, then again when he’d sunk to his knees in front of her and slowly worked his hands under the edge of her robe.

She shivers slightly as he cups her bare calf and pulls it free. His fingers quickly unlace one boot, then the other, trails of warmth flushing under her skin as they map a path back up her legs. Dozens of times she’d found herself studying those hands of late. She’d watch him stand his ground in battle, trying not to wonder if the way he moulded the weave between his fingers was how he’d touch a lover. And sometimes, when the shadows grew long and the evenings cold in her tent, she would wonder again and again atop her bedroll until she was coming fast, her wet gasp caught in the palm pressed over her lips.

A hand slides under the bend of her knee and urges it forward. He pauses there, his thumb tracing a soft pattern over the skin before his lips follow. Her breath wavers like a hummingbird's wing as he shifts higher, pressing a firmer kiss to the plush of her inner thigh.

Her hands find his head.

There’s nothing rueful about the way his eyes catch hers, no hint of the death warrant all but signed by his goddess as he nips the skin, then rubs there with his cheek until it blooms a rosier pink. She wants nothing more than to lose herself in that look, in the blush dusting his nose and the heat smouldering like burnt almonds in his eyes. She tugs his hair, bathes in the answering gasp but can’t loosen her grip on his words. 

He’s choosing to die. He loves her and he’s choosing to die. She can fight until she’s bloody and burned, until the fire within her has all but withered into ash– and he’s still choosing to die.

He squeezes her hips and gently pushes her onto the summoned bed behind them. It’s comfier than anything she can recall sleeping on, the ache that flared in her limbs each morning finally quieting a little. Her immediate question about why they’ve been suffering in the dirt this whole time quickly vanishes as he makes his way on top of her. 

She leans up to meet him, sighing against his lips as one leg slides between hers.

Gone is the tease of his earlier kisses. He’s insistent now, pressing his desire into her lips, then her neck, mouthing and tasting until she can feel the cherry-bruises forming there. She knows that fervour, equal parts desperation and desire, how he’s losing that meticulously manicured composure and trying to commit everything to memory before he makes his choice.

‘This might be my last night alive.’

Her fingers dig into his back. No. She won’t let him, she can’t. 

She grabs his chin and pulls them apart. She’s wild and bright in his eyes, every want, every piece of her need for him reflected back. She cups his cheek, stroking the handsome curve of his face as she tries to find her scattered words. “I want you, I want this, all of it, more than anything.”

He smiles, leaning down to kiss her neck until the second half of her thought almost flies away.

“Of all the verses I’ve had the pleasure of perusing in my time, none have sounded quite so sweet as that.”

Ciri’s eyes flutter as the knee between her legs spreads her wide.

“Gale. Wait.” She guides his head up. “I want you, but you need to do something for me first.”

“Anything.”

Ciri takes a breath. “Choose to live." 

Gale’s smile falters, the embers of his gaze cooling. 

She grips his chin as he starts to look away. “And don’t you dare tell me that it isn’t a choice, because it is. I know it is. Dress it up as fate, as your own terms, whatever it is that you’re going to tell yourself because you think it will bring you peace– it doesn’t matter. You don’t need to resign yourself to this. Not now. Not with me.”

The words ache in her throat. She watches the play of emotions run over his face before he twists to kiss the palm of her hand.

“What I would give for such an adventurer's determination,” he murmurs, closing his eyes. “There is no peace in this, I can assure you. If I were still sequestered in my tower, perhaps it would be easier– being offered a way out that guaranteed my mistake could do something truly good? It’s too much to wish for. But now, I almost want to damn this group for giving me so much to care about. For making me doubt. Making me hope.”

She brushes her hand through his hair. “Then let yourself hope.”

“You truly think I wouldn’t choose another way if I could? If there were any other path that means I would not hurt anyone else?” His lips touch her palm again. “Hurt you?”

“You leave finding another way to me. Just tell me that you’re choosing to live. Not that you want to. Not that you wish you could, that you will. Say that, and I’ll be yours.”

It’s a plea masquerading as a promise, firebolts thrown blindly in the dark like the offer of her body is enough to shake his devotion.

He drops his head to her shoulder, quiet for a while. “Once I would have said that was quite impossible. Months studying this blasted thing in my chest and no answer was kind enough to present itself.” When he lifts his head, the tiniest smile flickers across his mouth. It sears straight through her. “But have I not seen this ragtag party of ours pull off at least half a dozen impossible stunts already?” 

She tugs him closer. “Say it then. Please.”

“Alright. If there is a way, if you do pull some kind of miracle out of your pocket, of course I will take it.”

The words are barely free of his mouth before she’s reclaimed his lips. She swallows his laugh, ecstasy singing through her veins as her answer is swept up into their kisses. 

“Then I’m yours, all of me.”

Choose me. That’s what she doesn’t say. Choose me over your Goddess. Choose me over the entity that made me turn down your illusion because I want to make love to you as far away from her bloody hands as possible. Choose me.

But for now, she can pretend that’s what he’s promised.

There’s something almost reverent about the way he strips her bare. Impatience shines in his eyes but he makes no move to hurry this time. His tongue follows the seams between blush and burns, lingering over her breasts until her back arches into the warmth. She lets herself fall, melting into his caresses until all she can do is wonder if this is what it feels like to be loved as a God.

It’s a new kind of want for Ciri. Something deeper, redder, almost ugly. She wants to break him down, fuck him, love him until she’s unwound every last thought of following Mystra’s command. She bites his neck and digs her fingernails in until she’s sure the meaning behind those crescent marks will linger.

Mine.

She cradles the back of his head, her breathing pitching to a sharper gasp as his lips touch her ear. She feels him smirk.

“I had wondered if there was truth to the rumour about how sensitive elven ears are.”

She shudders as he kisses harder. “I think… you have your answer.” 

He strokes the point with his thumb and she mimics the movement, grinding her swollen clit against his knee until the skin shines with her impatient desire. He presses it forward, sipping her answering moan before sliding his mouth down her body.

“Not quite yet.”

She finds her pleasure twice, once as his tongue circles her clit, then in his lap as he thrusts inside her. She feels his uneven breathing on her cheek, his nose mashed slightly awkwardly there as he chases his own pleasure. She holds him as he does, making a memory of the smell of sweat and dirt and the melody of his cry as he finishes inside her. Messy. Mortal. Perfect.

Choose me. The thought stays as they lay tangled together, his hand slowly mapping the length of her spine. He suddenly pokes the crease between her eyebrows, chuckling at her answering pout

“Whatever thought you’re pondering there is obviously wriggling around more than any parasite. Care to offload it?”

Her mouth hangs open. The words dance on the tip of her tongue, bright as canaries desperate to be free.

Choose me.

She rolls over and presses a soft kiss to the orb in his chest.

“Just that… I love you too.”

***

If misery were a place, Ciri is sure it would be the Gauntlet of Shar. It’s not merely the visage of the dark goddess poised with her blade around every corner, nor the old carrion stench of bones littering its corridors. The air here is wrong, even more so than in the cursed land outside. She feels it black and heavy in her lungs, sees it cling to the shadows appearing under everyone else’s eyes. Even Shadowheart’s fevered devotion has faded to near-silent prayer. 

Ciri had heard her once through the dark, thanking Shar over and over for the opportunity to realise her dream of being a true Dark Justiciar. Watching Shadowheart rub the fresh cuts on her arms after each trial, it’s getting harder to hold her tongue about whether this is truly a dream or some twisted nightmare.

It’s a different kind of darkness that weighs on Gale. Ciri had seen Mystra’s command swimming in his eyes when they’d found Ketheric’s army, then again between frantic kisses when she’d tried to make him forget. She’d dreamt of after. Her trance had slipped into visions of the orb bursting free, his face twisting in pain and then eclipsed in cold netherse magic. She’d jerked awake in a sheen of tears and sweat and buried herself into his side, murmuring over and over again until her voice was hoarse.

“Please don’t do it. Please.” 

The feelings are a gift and a curse, ones she once thought too broken to actually have. Lovers were a tool, something fun on the road or after a few glasses at an inn. She’d take what she needed and then be off: new city, new adventure, that name and face already forgotten. It’s not this, something flushed so deep inside her that it aches with each heartbeat.

She loves him. Loves him in a painful, stupid, storybook kind of way that makes her want to burst into song and to break things. 

Tendays she’s known him. It’s barely a few grains in the hourglass that could be her life. So why can she feel each one burning so brightly? Eclipsing everything else until the fifty years that came before seem so grey in comparison? It’s a question she doesn’t want the answer to. All she knows is that he has her heart cupped in his hands and she is not ready to let it shatter between them.

The night after the final trial she seeks him out by the campfire. The space is quiet, just him staring into the light and periodically waving in extra kindling. She bumps his shoulder as she sits down. 

“You’re quiet tonight. Either something is very wrong or you’ve finally exhausted the list of anecdotes to tell me.”

He offers her a smile, but it doesn’t quite reach his eyes. “Neither. I’ve just found that silence seems to hang heavier here, like weight in the air. I’m sure you’ve noticed even the weave seems distant.” He snaps his fingers but the sparks that fly are a dull shower. He shakes his head. “I’ll be more than happy once we’re away from Shar’s influence. One step closer to stopping Ketheric, hopefully stopping everything.”

There’s a thread of resignation woven into his calm. She feels it wrap around her throat.

“Tell me about home,” she says quickly. “About Waterdeep.”

His eyes grow glossier by firelight. “Did my illusion not do it justice?”

“That’s just one room in your tower. Tell me more. Tell me everything.”

He throws the remainder of the wood on the fire, a more genuine smile growing in the brightness. “Well, only if you’re prepared to sit here all night. There is quite a lot to cover.”

She shifts closer, resting her chin in her upturned hands. “I am.”

And so he talks. Talks and talks and talks until she doesn’t understand how his throat isn’t cracked as sandstone. She’d been on the receiving end of at least a dozen of his orations before, but this is altogether different. His words are fireflies in the darkness, flecks of paint rendering Waterdeep in vivid colour around them. She sees the arcanists’ towers shining in vivid cuts of crystal by the harbour, the puddles of spilled ale as people gather to stare down into the abyss within The Yawning Portal, the gravestones falling over each other like shifting teeth in the City of the Dead– everything.

His face grows more animated as he moves through each area, arms gesticulating wildly like he’s conjuring the city itself over the shadows in front of them. She’s enraptured, clinging to each word, then to his hands as she shifts closer.

“... and then after Auril's Blesstide, there’s the Solstice. It’s not exactly a Waterdhavian exclusive holiday but I’m not sure I’ve seen any other city produce such an exorbitant amount of decorations for the season. Once upon a time I adorned my own tower as well and it always caused quite the stir. I somewhat regret not putting in the effort last year but, as you can imagine, having a city-levelling orb in my chest did not exactly put me in the most festive mood. Tara was ever insistent though, nagging me to visit people given the nature of the holiday. ” He turns and softly brushes her chin “- spending time with those you care about.”

The screech of a whetstone suddenly cuts him off. They turn to see Lae’zel outside her tent and holding her greatsword above the spinning rock. She glowers at them both. 

“If you two insist on continuing this mind-numbing foreplay rather than keeping watch, I suggest you do it somewhere else. Sharpening my blade can only drown out so much. This wretched place echoes.”

Ciri stifles her giggle and quickly pulls Gale into his own tent. She sits down amongst the growing collection of pillows and starts to unlace the back of her shirt. He sits behind and takes over like it’s the most normal thing in the world.

“Come to think of it, you’ve never really spoken about your home,” he says.

She shrugs. “That’s the life of an adventurer. No home to speak of really, just whatever inn or camp I’ve found for the week.”

He tugs the final fastening and her shirt falls down to her waist. “You’ve never thought about settling down anywhere? None Faerǔn’s great cities ever tempted you?”

She sighs as his fingers trace down her bare spine. “And give up adventuring? Never.”

“You can do both, you know. Head out each morning to slay or burn or pilfer– whatever it is you feel most inclined to do that day, then return to the same bed. You’d probably save some of that hard-earned if not slightly bloody gold if you didn’t have to pay for a new room every tenday.”

She considers his words. In her decades travelling she’d seen almost all of the major cities on the Sword Coast: Fandelin, Neverwinter, Everlund. None of them ever made her want to stop moving forward. Once the coin was in her purse and the job torn from the notice board, all she could think about was heading out and filling in the blank edges of her map. 

“I don’t really know what home is supposed to feel like but… I know it’s none of the places I’ve travelled to before,” she admits.

“Home.” He draws out the word in a slow hum. “It does not have to be a place– not a house or a tower, or a city. It can be a feeling.” His hands spread over her chest. “Or perhaps a person.” His lips touch the back of her neck. “Perhaps a person with an excellently stocked wine cellar.” He kisses up to that spot on her ear he’s grown annoyingly fond of. “Not to mention ocean-views, a crackling hearth and a very carefully selected mattress.”

She leans back as he starts to circle her nipple. “That does sound nice.”

She yelps when he pinches her. “I was aiming for exquisite, but I suppose nice will do for now.”

She spins in his arms and presses him down into the blankets below. His hair falls in a dark mess as she settles over his thighs. “Asking me to visit? You must be feeling better if you’re already thinking about the future.” 

He leans up to trace the corner of her mouth. “Dreaming about the future would be a better description.” 

Their eyes linger on the orb as she unwraps his shirt. She presses her hand over it and feels the gentle thrum of the magic—  the noose around his neck she won’t let him tie. 

She tilts his face up. “Leave it to me, remember?”

He rests his hand over hers. “I do. Though I am still holding out hope that your plan has evolved beyond throw a fireball at the problem.”

“Name one time that hasn’t worked.” 

There’s ice under the joke. She’s a fraud and a fake, no plan beyond the claws of her anger and a hope that grows shakier with each passing day. She knows he can feel it as he kisses her. It’s still desperate, his mouth clinging to hers like she could disappear at any moment.

So she lets him explore, revelling in the growing familiarity of his mouth on her body and his hands in her hair. His breaths become poetry against her skin, whispering that her lips are like the reddest wine and the gold in her eyes a sunrise. She tries not to think if he wove such sweet musings for his goddess too, or what she might have done for him in return. Ciri certainly cannot picture her as a giver. All she’s heard of Mystra is what she demanded. How loving could those lips have ever been if they were capable of commanding death with little more feeling than a debtor collecting their dues.

She flips them over, dragging her own mouth down his body until it’s firmly wrapped around his growing hardness. The curse that drops from his lips burns with pride into her mind. She moves faster, urges him to take what he needs because she can– because she wants to.

Choose me.

She won’t say it out loud, but with her touch, her tongue until he’s red-cheeked and gasping. She thinks it again as she holds him, naked and slick, wiping those messy strands of chestnut and silver away from his forehead. 

He knows. He has to.

Choose me.

***

Ciri rubs her eyes but the sight above her doesn’t change. Hanging in the wet, sinewy air of this cavern is their true enemy, the Heart of the Absolute: an Elderbrain. The vastness of the space barely contains its massive size, easily the width of Moonrise itself, perhaps larger, she can’t be sure. It pulses and twitches above the raised platform, a mess of feelers moving jerkily as the figures below seem to guide it with three curiously glowing stones.

Ciri’s hands slip over her staff as she retreats back into the shadows. Her shock is laced with ire– mostly at herself. It was obvious. What else would be leading the illithids other than the eldritch horror that commanded them? And now the four of them have to fight it. 

She takes a breath and tries to afford herself a better view. It doesn’t help– looking closer at its glistening surface, she’s suddenly not sure if she’ll even be able to burn it.

She seeks out Gale’s hand behind her but meets only air. Turning, she sees his gaze is fixed to the pointy black crown fused to the top of the brain. There’s no terror in his expression. The quick intake of breath and the sparkle in his eyes speak of something altogether different– wonderment. It makes Ciri’s skin crawl.

“Look at that crown. It radiates with power unlike anything I’ve ever seen,” he murmurs to himself. “To have it, to hold. If only I could.” 

There’s that wizard energy she remembers, like a magpie circling some shiny trinket. She fights the urge to slap him with the end of her staff.

He suddenly shakes his head, eyes refocusing. “No, I can’t. This is it. I must do as Mystra commands.”

His words are a slap to her face. They’re firm as an oath, like his promise to her meant nothing.

She whips around completely. “You can’t.”

“Look at that monstrosity, Ciri. More than just a Goddess counts on my courage, whole worlds hang in the balance. What more can I do? Can any of us do?”

Biting anger roots her to the spot. She hates that he won’t believe in her, hates the sound of her name in his mouth, hates that he’s right. She still has no plan, nothing that could possibly make a dent in that being. Their world does hang in the balance… and she doesn’t care. Not one bit. She’ll let it all turn to ruin with a smile on her face if it means she can keep him safe.

There’s only one thing she has left, a final phrase left unsaid. She puts both hands on his chest until she can feel the wild pulse of netherse magic. 

“Choose me, Gale. The one who loves you, the one who needs you to live. Choose me.”

His reaction is instant. There’s no hesitation in his eyes as he pulls her closer, nor in the smile that breaks over his face as he speaks. “I love you too. Much more than myself, more even than Mystra. Very well, whether I condemn this world or not, I choose you.”

Her heart cartwheels in her chest as his words sink in. All her thoughts vanish under the weight of love in his eyes except for one.

There is no way in all nine hells that she is dying today.

“Ahem.” She follows the cough to meet Shadowheart’s pointed gaze. “While I appreciate that we are not suddenly dying in a fiery explosion, do you think you could share your plan B?”

Ciri turns back. Relief washes through her as the brain floats away, leaving just Ketheric seething on the platform below. She grips her staff again, adrenaline pumping like firewine through her veins. “Same as always. Sweat, swords and sorcery.”

***

It’s almost strange to see the Shadow Curse start to break away. Ciri stands on the very edge of their camp, watching as pieces of the bile-black sky melt into the first sunrise she’s seen in almost a month. The trees shiver and stretch towards the light, soft pink shadows caressing the broken streets and the long, now silent, reaches of Moonrise towers. The land is still ripped open like an old wound, but now it has the chance to finally heal. That’s what Halsin had told her at least.

She couldn’t have fought her answering smile even if she wanted to. For once they were leaving somewhere better than they found it and they finally have a clear path to Baldur’s Gate. 

She feels the lightness in everyone as she strolls back through camp.

Well, almost everyone.

She quietly ducks around a corner and into Gale’s tent. He’s lying on their bedroll and staring at the ceiling with a hard blank expression. It’s the same place she’d left him four hours ago when he said he’d wanted to be alone. This time, he doesn’t protest as she sits next to him, nor when she gently unhooks the staff that’s still clamped between tense, white fingers.

She kisses each one as his eyes finally drift down to hers.

“What are you thinking about?” she asks.

“I was ready to kill everyone. Kill you.” His whisper catches on the final word, like a splinter of glass stuck in his throat.

She rubs the back of his hand. “But you didn’t.”

He exhales but his face doesn’t relax. “At that moment I had never felt so certain. And yet...” 

He trails off. She can feel that there's more, like the reality of Mystra’s demand and Ciri’s confession still press with the weight of the Elderbrain on his chest.

She lies down next to Gale and waits for him to look at her again. “You chose life. You chose me.”

His expression finally cracks. Slowly, the hint of another smile quirks there, enough for that final whisper of doubt in her mind to flutter away. “I did.”

“And do you regret it?”

He rolls onto his side and wraps his arms around her waist. Tugging her on top of him she feels the rapid beat of his heart thrumming through his robe– her reminder that he’s here. Alive. Always. 

“Not for one moment,” he murmurs into her cheek. “I choose you. I’ll always choose you.”

It’s the full stop to a sentence Ciri had written weeks ago, something now inked indelibly over her own heart. She doesn’t care how little time they’ve spent together. From now until the long years of her life finally end, she is never letting him go.

LOVER+ joseph morgan or ian somerhalder; yay for choices! 35-42, chevy's love interest of being a possible final, and adopted uncle to willow. we'll call him ian, because his name is totally up to you! personality and history are up to you also. i love him to be an interest for my nina on the site. option one i love the quotes "brother's girl and all" or "i'm in love with my brother's girl" whenever they're talking about chevy so with that he'd fall in love with his brother's girl when rejected by his previous girlfriend whom chevy reminds him of in her looks. chevy falls in love with him too in secret but she won't want to admit out loud afraid for what that might say about her while still with her fiance.

option two chevy and ian have secret affair behind his brother's back and everyone doesn't know about it or everyone could know about the affair in secret.

anywho, ian is the older adopted brother to leonard. he previously dated sutton, and the two were in a relationship, but than broke up with him soon after because of leonard once his brother left chicago he wanted to move back home to ashwood to be closer to him the only family he has left and doesn't want to lose him and when he left chicago.

i'm a huge fan of either. chevy is sort of the elena based character from vampire diaries and, we could discuss a plot for them.

IDENTICAL TWIN+ nina dobrev, 32, ian`s ex-girlfriend. we'll call her sutton, but her name is totally up to you! personality and history are up to you also.
