GONE NOW ARE THE OLD TIMES FORGOTTEN | Read on AO3

"Lyra allowed herself to be inspected, out of uncertainty more than anything else, and because Marcel’s voice was echoing in her head, telling her to behave. She realised, however, that whatever caution she felt towards him did not outweigh the feeling her grandmother inspired on her. It wasn’t just fear; it was the thrill for the unknown."

Lyra visits Madame Delamare at her New Year's Eve party trying to know more about the little family she has left. AU where Marcel and Lyra get along, pre-The Secret Commonwealth events. A follow-up fic to I Like it When You're Gone.

"Lady Eilhart's 18th birthday was marked down as one of the most exciting events of the year. Nobody had expected that young and awkward girl, who so suddenly had inherited a title that could impact politics so heavily, to come back from her trip abroad a dashing socialite. Accompanied by one of the most desired bachelors, Lord Asriel, the young Marchioness wore a stunning blue gown and a sapphire necklace. One can appreciate the effect time has on people and we look forward to Lady Eilhart's next party to dazzle London's elite!" — DAILY MAIL'S GOSSIP COLUMN, January, 1978.

"It was hard for Dorothea to navigate this world of lords and ladies, of men of influence and calculated words. Even with all the education and preparation the past three years had given her, she still felt like a young and inexperienced child, her austere father's shadow looming over her, expecting her to fail at her duties as the new Marchioness. He had always predicted it, so it must have been true. Astraeus gave her strength, he guided her through these endless conversations, with Asriel at her heels, nagging her at every instant to fulfill the role she was always meant to do. He intended to be supportive, Dorothea knew, but his actions did more harm to her than any good. He didn't understand what it felt like to be in her shoes, an inexperienced woman with a lot of power out of the blue.

Not to mention that having him by her side gave people things to talk about, to gossip, to rumour. Nothing reached her ears, but she sensed the conversation all the same. People would never accept they were just friends, that he had never touched her and he never would. Dorothea took a deep breath, then a sip from her champagne and smiled, as if her life depended on it.

On the outside, it would've seemed effortless, and with time she would learn to be more comfortable in pretending to be that dashing socialite with smashing parties everyone wanted her to be. Then the scholar with her neverending thesis on Dust, then the spy who fell in love with the monster she would have to slay, if only eventually. She pretended for so long she even began to believe it herself."

A quick practice of Dorothea and Astraeus I did before I worked on commissions. It turned out so nice I had to do a lil polishing.

Elves have enough trouble. Don't need this on our heads, too. But I have to say... killing a monster is one thing. Taking down the goddess of all monsters... and the god of vengeance while you're at it...?

I was tagged by @rellanas and @lostiel to rate my OC's traits. Thank you both! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to actually get to any of these tags, but I'm here with my newest darling to do the damn thing. 🖤

I was tagged by @katsigan to do the "What horror movie trope that I enjoy are you?" quiz! Thank you so much. I eat stuff like this UP.

Family as a Cult.

you will never need anyone else. outsiders will hurt you, aim to corrupt you and ruin you and leave you in pieces, but your family will always be there for you. everyone has the same eyes, the same smile. the same sickly yellow light cast over their skin. the same tastes, the same food that melts to gray sludge on your tongue. family recipe. hugs last too long, touches linger and sting like sunburn. don't stray too far. if you come back looking like a wolf rather than a sheep, the dogs will eat you.

And, finally, I was tagged in the OTP vibes tag game by @grapecaseschoices! Thank you for thinking of me. 🖤 This was a lot of fun! Gonna tuck this under a tag because this post got kinda out of hand, whoops.

OTP: The Siren and Her Sea. [ Paola Candide x Illario Dellamorte. ] Aesthetic:

Fate: Happy?

Dynamic: The same person in different skin, but mirrors are never quite as kind as you'd expect or hope. The patron and the prima donna. Your cousin was meant to marry my sister, but you married her instead. Do you wish you'd married me? Have you ever called her by my name? Does she call you by his?

Songs:

Abbey - Mitski.

Hunting the Wren - Finnegan Tui.

Pyre - Mel Bryant & the Mercy Makers.

Ruin - The Amazing Devil.

We Hug Now - Sydney Rose.
