🌧️ rain: share a sad or emotional scene from your wip!

And thanks for the sadder ask, also from this ask game. This one is from Pt. 17 - CWs for self-hatred and contemplation of suicide.

‘Regarding time, it’s late,’ said Mures. He still felt numb, but expected this wouldn’t last much longer, and didn’t want to be around people when it ended. ‘I think I’ll go to bed.’

‘Yes - right. We all should, I suppose, but - not yet. Catha, I want to talk to you a while longer.’

‘Of course,’ she said. ‘Mures, thank you for this; I look forward to meeting again on the morrow.’

He nodded and gave her what he hoped wasn’t a horribly objectionable smile. Before he could leave, Radomil detached himself from his old partner and wrapped his arms tightly around the sorcerer.

‘I don’t know what to say,’ the spellsword mumbled into his shoulder. ‘You’re - ah, I honestly don’t know what to say, my friend. You’re really something else.’

Mures didn’t reply, since he had no more idea of what to say than his friend did. Instead, he closed his eyes and leaned into the hug. The smile he’d given Catha grew wider and more genuine even as a painful knot formed in his chest.

His smile didn’t fade as he left the chamber, carefully closing the door behind him. It remained, feeling plastered on his face, as he saw Radomil had only laid out one bedroll in the tomb; the other was still folded away. He unpacked it on the far side of Isa’s sarcophagus, still smiling, and slid into it until the wool covered everything but the top of his head.

He felt happy for his friend. He knew how much Radomil had missed Catha. Mures had been a stopgap measure, something to tide the mercenary over until he was reunited with someone he cared deeply for, and who cared for him in return. Not that the sorcerer didn’t care about Radomil too - he did, of course, with every shred of affection he could scrape from his worn-out heart - but it wasn’t worth anything next to the friendship a really good person could offer.

And it wasn’t a matter of one or the other, anyway. With luck, Mures could stay as part of their company for a while, maybe even a long time. Some things would change - Radomil wouldn’t share a bedroll or inn room with him, for example, when it would prevent the spellsword from doing the same with a better friend. They probably wouldn’t talk as much; he’d noticed the effort it took the other man to discuss certain topics, and it would probably be both easier and more worthwhile for him to do so with Catha.

That was fine. He’d miss their previous, tentative closeness, but seeing Radomil so happy would more than compensate for it. They’d probably still share notes on runes, perhaps with Catha as well, and work together in situations like their earlier exploration of Isa’s chamber. Maybe they’d even spend time together casually if he didn’t seem too unpleasant in comparison now, either while Radomil’s old friend was busy or in a group of three. That would be wonderful.

He really hoped Catha wouldn’t completely detest him. She seemed more a classical hero than Radomil had ever been, so she would probably at least dislike him, but maybe she’d tolerate his company because her friend, for whatever reason, considered him a friend as well.

If not - he didn’t think Radomil would agree to kick him out of the party before they reached a city, but ultimately it wouldn’t matter much; it was just a question of what would feel better for the spellsword. Mures would freeze to death by himself in the mountains, but if he had to leave later, he’d kill himself anyway. He saw no point in doing anything else. The last several months had been happier than he’d ever expected his life to be, and now he’d seen someone who was almost right out of a folktale - a hero who’d nobly sacrificed herself defending others. There was nothing left to do, or to hope for.

Mures tried to imagine only the more optimistic possibilities for his future as he lay buried in the bedroll, but it didn’t work. He heard the other mercenaries come back in after a while, voices too quiet for him to make out words, but loud enough for him to detect the joy in their tones. The sorcerer curled up under the layers of wool and pulled his hat down past his nose so they wouldn’t hear anything as he cried himself to sleep.

Great, so now I'm invested in your Chrollo writing... Thank you I guess🙄❤️ Now I had to follow you *sighs* Just kidding, you're an amazing writer!! Mayhaps could you write some fluffy? headcannons for the adult trio with a soulmate who's weak/doesn't know nen?

Aww shucks! Thanks so much, sorry you had to follow me *winks* I hope this rose tea compensates for your troubles ( ͡❛ ‿ ͡❛)

-If you're physically weak, you have to be strong in other areas for Hisoka to notice you. But you're his soulmate; once he finds you, there's no turning back from here. With him, you pass the point of no return; there's no looking back with him.

-Hisoka's name is not on you, but in this au, you can't see the color of your soulmate's eyes until you meet them or spot them.

-Imagine looking at sunflowers in the grocery shop and thinking they look so sad because they're always gray. Or consider how weird it would be to see bananas all discolored and gray like they're coming straight out of a 60s show.

-Your parents always told you the color you were missing was yellow, and you thought it convenient that your soulmate would be so fierce since birth. His eyes must be a spectacle to behold. But one thing is for sure he's making a statement somewhere in the world.

-You often think about how he's doing with not being able to see your (e/c) in anything. Maybe it's the ocean that he sees gray and dull or dripping honey that doesn't seem as sensual being gray and the trees only having color during fall when they turn reddish and orange. He thinks it's amusing how the world works, funny how he's made it a game to find you when he thinks he's had enough of that dull spot in his vision.

-Hisoka is honestly in no rush to find you, but he's always expecting you. Thinking about how beautiful your fight will be, about your nen or how strong you'll get once you're with him. The thought alone is enough to rile him up. He often builds his card houses, licking his lips at the thought of you, and everyone around him can't wait for you to appear and his excessive creepiness to end.

-That's why his mind is on alert when he looks around and can finally see the missing color in his spectrum. His eyes are darting around frantically for someone who seems to be doing the same thing.

You were walking down the busy road filled with a crowd of people coming and going anywhere. Your eyes lifted from your purse to spot fuchsia curled up hair in the distance. The color struck you as odd, but you didn't question it. After all, this is York New City and what everybody does is their business. But the color was quite eye-catching and hard to miss, and it kept calling for your attention. However, once you passed the person, you just smiled to yourself, thinking about how brave they were wearing such clothes. Still, it wasn't your business.

You walked by a flower shop and absentmindedly looked for the flowers you always thought looked dull and gray. But to your surprise, you couldn't find them, there was only yellow, and that's when it hit you. You had seen your soulmate around and didn't even noticed. You look up from the soft petals in your hand, and the fuchsia hair guy was standing right in front of you. You blink back as he offers his hand to you in greeting, not minding how you gawk at him and look straight into his eyes.

"Hisoka Morrow, pleasure to finally meet you, little fruit˜ "his voice is sensually soothing, and you can't help but be flustered at his presentation alone.

"Your-Your eyes…they are yellow," he chuckles, giving you his best-closed eye smile.

"I believe they are, dear~."

-Now that you have found each other, he's all over you all the time trying to coax you into displaying your nen or going as far as to provoke you into fighting. At first, you don't quite understand his deal, thinking this must be how soulmates are, but this guy is too much.

-When you tell him you don't have a nen, he doesn't understand why you two are compatible. He thought fate knew better, oh well, life's a riot, and he's willing to have the best out of it.

-Hisoka will be interested in your smarts or your skills, however mundane they may be. You're his toy, after all, and even if he can't kill you because you're not strong enough, he will build you up to be good at what you do and then destroy you there. (Imagine being good at cooking and him just trying to be better than you in order to fight you there)

-That doesn't mean he will not love you, he does cherish you deep down, more than he does himself, but he will never say. He's a fickle man, here one moment and gone the next. The most he will display once he's deep into the relationship would be cuddles, sexy times when he's fired up, and words of affection sprinkled here and there.

"(Y/N)-Chan~" he drawls seductively, trying to catch your attention, but you simply smile and keep working on your thing.

"My devilish little queen of hearts~" Hisoka snatches you up, bringing you into his embrace and forcing you to sit inside his crossed legs as he hugs you close to his chest.

"Do I have your attention now, little fruit, hmm?" He gives your neck a kitten lick, kissing the spot afterwards.

-We all know he's shy, and a few of his insecurities come out whenever he's vulnerable, which tends to happen when he's with you, so treasure those moments.

"Darling little fruit," he chuckles, hugging you from behind, "I feel rather neglected right now. Care to take care of this little problem, hmm?" He will suggestively and innocently grind his hips into yours.

Your blushing face is just too much for him.

-So you would have a normal relationship, albeit a bit weird since he's Hisoka, of course.

P.S he does think you're adorable when you're annoyed; in his eyes, all he sees is a chibi version of you with puffed-out cheeks and big glassy eyes. But don't get angry; that will only lead to rough times in the bed.

-Illumi thought it was weird the first time the cravings manifested. He had never wanted chocolate more than now, so he added that food to the list of things he will prohibit you from eating.

-In this au, you crave what your soulmate is currently eating, and Illumi never thought of a more annoying thing than this form of love.

-It was bad enough he was raised with poisoned food to grow a resistance. Still, he always thought that would also benefit you since you would also want to eat a little bit of it without knowing he was doing it on purpose.

-Illumi prefers more bland things, less salt, and bold flavors or spices. He’s healthy and straightforward; he wants you to be the same. After all, the perfect wife is a healthy one in all aspects of their life.

-It is very annoying to crave (favorite food) or (favorite snack) in the middle of a fight when he never even eats that.

-He always tries to never indulge in his cravings, but he expects you to indulge in his since he thinks he knows what’s best for you. His parents always insisted on it, but his grandfather always snuck some (fav. Candy) whenever he asked what it was.

-On your part, you never understood your soulmate. Different things passed through your mind, all pointing to someone obsessed with exercising and staying fit.

-You liked your flavors, whether it be tea, coffee, spices, sugary treats, sour stuff, or extremely salty snacks, your taste buds were a party, and you just wanted to indulge and share some of your preference with your fated one.

-However, you trying out bits of cyanide and other poisons/ venoms was utterly bizarre. Your parents were most alarmed when you puked for a long period of your childhood but couldn’t understand what was happening to you.

-Wanting bland food or healthy snacks wasn’t all that bad, but it sure annoyed you occasionally. That’s why you thought it was odd when you were drinking (favorite drink) at the shop, and there was this sudden urge to throw it away in disgust.

You couldn’t pinpoint where the extreme feeling was coming from until a cup of green tea was placed in front of you, and your drink was snatched as quickly as the tea came. You looked up to see a handsome man with long black hair and two dark whirlpools for eyes. Brows scrunched up as you looked for your favorite drink, which had been in front of you seconds ago.

“Excuse me, but did you took my-“

“That wasn’t healthy for you. This is better for your body, less sugar” he sat across from you, and you were about to chuck the cup of tea in his face.

“Mmm, but I bought it, and I really wanted to drink it” Illumi sighed, exasperated. With closed eyes, he took the cup in front of you and sipped from it.

The urge to drink the tea in his hand was otherworldly. Desperation made your hands sweat, but you gripped your thighs to hold back.

“It’s you,” you said in an almost hushed and awed voice.

“My name is Illumi Zoldyck.”

Oh crap. The enchantment of the moment you had been waiting for all your life dissipated the second he uttered his last name. You knew that last name anywhere; it was the one people spoke about when they wanted someone dead. It was the one no one dare to whisper in your neighborhood for fear to attract the mighty assassins. It was the one that carried so much bloodshed with it you wanted nothing to do with him. So you did the thing that you thought was best: have nothing to do with him.

“I think I have you confused with someone else” you smiled kindly at him, “have a nice afternoon.”

You didn’t even make it out of the booth when Illumi’s hand shot out and held your cheek affectionately. It stopped you dead.

“I think I’m correct with my assumption, (Y/N), no one likes (specific way of eating snack/food).” You chuckle nervously

“But a lot of people do” you try to get out of his weird cheek holding pose, but then his other hand holds your other cheek, encasing your face in his palms and coming closer to your face pulling you in as well.

“Milluki already looked into different bank account statements and pinpointed who was the most out of the people that bought the ingredients. We also added different variables as well, judging from certain months and days. You were the one that came out. I am certain you’re the one. Didn’t you felt the urge to drink the tea I just drank? Hmm, experts say the closer you are to your soulmate, the stronger the cravings get; perhaps they might be wrong.”

Illumi stroke an innocent thinking pose, looking like an intellectual child getting an answer wrong in his review.

-Welp that was creepy, but it doesn’t stop there. You see, Illumi doesn’t really care that you don’t have a nen or are not strong enough as much as Hisoka does. Sure his parents are a bit concerned about it, but it’s mostly is his mother being against you as his soulmate. After all, he needs to keep the bloodline of assassins going; therefore, they need healthy, strong children.

-If you don’t have nen, they will force it to wake up in you, and then they will train you just like they did the family. Buckle up is going to be a harsh and rather unpleasant ride. Illumi will not comfort you like a conventional lover, but he will be there for you when he thinks you’ve had enough…for the day. After all, he wants you strong and healthy but also loving and warm.

-But if Illumi is somehow against his family’s wishes, he will always advocate for you or give a reason why they can’t proceed.

-Inside Illumi is happy you are dependent on him. He revels at the fact that to keep you safe from his line of work, he has you move in with him in record time; he supervises everything you eat and everything you do. Because he insists he knows what’s best for you.

-Overall, he’s very controlling and a bit manipulative when he can’t have his way with you. He definitely knows when you’re not following his diet, he can feel the chocolate cravings and knows it was his grandfather giving you some.

-But even if Illumi is awkward at best when it comes to love, he still does love you in the most weirdest of ways. Meaning every loving gesture he does come out a bit robotic, but with time he will loosen up. Just like his food choices, Illumi’s love is a little bland and mostly devoid of strong tastes. That’s why you are in his life to show him the flavors he’s been missing. You’re everything tasty he’s never given himself the chance to taste.

Ps. He does like your favorite snack because of you, and the two of you will sometimes cuddle and eat it. He thinks you’re the best flavor there is, though, and will often indulge in making you lose your mind with pleasure

-As always, Chrollo is the most romantic out of the trio, and you can fight me with this but hear me out first

-Chrollo can see the red string of fate attached to his ring finger on his left hand. He has always been able to see it and has always wondered he would meet the person on the other end. He's poetic and a bit dramatic, so he's expecting your encounter would be as magical as the poems describe.

-He has been preparing all his life for you; his mind often wanders, thinking about different things the two of you could. In the middle of a job, he would see a place and write in the list of places he would take you. Your encounter has to be perfect but natural; he doesn't want to force it.

-That's why when he's casually walking around the market, looking at the trinkets and the foods from the vendors, he's amazed. Chrollo notices that the string has actually shortened, and his soulmate is close by.

-He's excited, grey eyes momentarily widen, looking around to see where the end of the string meets his, and then he sees you. Standing by one of the stalls, being harassed by the vendor into buying his merchandise.

-Oh boy, oh boy, is he annoyed and irked.

"Sorry, sir, but I don't really buy this type of thing" your politeness falls on deaf ears as the vendors huffs and shoves another trinket in your face.

"How 'bout this one, eh, eh? A pretty lady such as yourself would certainly use one of these" You shake your head and try to move away, but the vendor's hand shoots out, grabbing your wrist.

At the same time, someone else grabs the vendor's wrist hard, eliciting a yelp from the vendor as their bones creak, rubbing against each other painfully. You gasp, turning around and seeing this beautiful man. You feel you know him somehow; his grey eyes speak of another life, another remembrance where the two of you shared the same air in the same breath. It hits your heart hard, and it almost clenches at him. The man also seems to be in pain, like he got stabbed with the same feeling.

"Excuse me, but I couldn't help but overhear; I think the lady doesn't want what you're selling."

"Listen here you-"The man raised a posting finger from his other hand, and Chrollo painfully squeezed the man's wrist, cutting his sentence off.

"Splendid; it's good when people come to compromises" Chrollo let the man's wrist go, and the little weasel scurried off behind his stall hiding.

Chrollo turned to you fully, warmly smiling at you. "Are you alright?"

Your wide eyes gleamed at him, but there was something he couldn't pinpoint behind your expression, and he prided himself on being good at reading people. He thought it ironic that his soulmate was the only person he couldn't read, just because fate thought it nice to keep things interesting.

"I'm fine, thanks for helping me, I tried to be polite, but it was impossible," you huffed, feeling familiar with the stranger. That made Chrollo smile.

"It's good to finally meet you, darling" the sentence caught you off guard. Your heart jumped a beat, feeling a cold shiver run down your spine.

"I'm sorry," you smiled at him, brows cutely furrowed. "But do I know you?"

It was his turn to skip a beat. What did that mean? Chrollo took a breath; maybe he needed to emphasize the red string uniting both of your hands; surely, once you look down, you would see it.

He lifted his hand, casually stroking his chin in a thinking stance. "Mmm, interesting, don't you recognize me?"

Chrollo studied your expression, but you showed no signs of seeing the red string. Well, every nen user could see other people's strings, so maybe it's because you haven't noticed the two of you connecting.

"May I see your wrist then? That scoundrel grabbed it quite harshly" You nodded, feeling terrible that you couldn't remember this handsome man.

As Chrollo brought the hand up closer to his face, he glanced at you once more. But your expressions were the same still. That's when he concluded that you had no nen, or perhaps it hadn't awakened yet.

He exhaled, gently letting your hand go. "Everything is in order. Perhaps it would bruise slightly but nothing too bad."

"Thank you for everything honestly, thank you" Chrollo smiled at you, even unawares of your relation to him. It was hard to be down when you gave him those smiles.

"How about a cup of tea to calm your nerves? I know a good place nearby?"

"That would be nice, sir."

"Please, Chrollo, and it would be my pleasure."

-After that moment, the two of you just hit it off. There was something about him that made the relationship advance so fast in so little time, almost like you were fated.

-Chrollo would always make silent attempts to coax the nen out of you without hurting you, but it seemed you truly had none. Of course, that was no impediment for him to love you and spoil you rotten.

-He would try not to leave for the beginning of your relationship, letting the troupe do the jobs without too much of his assistance. But once the relationship was solid enough, he would start leaving, telling you tidbits about his life and jo0b without it being a lie. He hates to lie to you, so do not feel guilty. He would tell the truth but from a different perspective, one that would not hurt you.

-Chrollo takes you to all the places that he wanted to and never stops giving you gifts, so when you give him one, he can't help but be so surprise and almost tear up at the gesture. Everything that comes from you must be treasured.

-He worships the ground you walk on, even when you tell him there's no need for that. But he insists, you're meant to be just like in the poems and books he has read.

P.s His favorite moments are spent cuddled with you on a cold and rainy day, reading different books, and basking in each other's presence before he has to leave for another job.

❛ KEEP IT ❜

“Listen, darling… I'm sorry, but Happy doesn't want to see anyone right now. Not even you. He fell from his bike and his ego is hurt more than his leg”.

It's been three days since that conversation with Jax, stopping you at the Teller-Morrow workshop. The prospect told you about his accident. His first accident. And you would like to be with him, to take care of him, but not being his Old Lady you can't enforce your presence in the club. You aren't even sure if you have a relationship, or if it's only sex and some kind of dates on specific occasions. But, on the other hand, when they have a party you're always on his lap, or when he comes back for a trip you're his first stop.

At nine pm, you turn the welcome sign for the closed one. Turning off most of the lights of your bookstore, you play some soft music while counting the benefits, but some knocks on the glass of the main door thwart your task. Happy is there, looking as serious as always. Trying to not show emotion or worrying, you unlock the door to let him come.

“Got a minute?”

You nod, before walking back to the desk being followed by the man.

“Wanted to know how you are”.

“Tired. I had a… busy day”. You reply, grabbing a bunch of cash to count them.

He doesn't say anything else, just staring at you in holy silence. Taking note of the money, you raise your eyes towards his.

“You okay?”

He nods. You're aware of how silent he is, but now it's desperating you. You want to talk about the accident, about what happened, about why he fell down from his motorcycle, but doesn't look like he wants to talk. Biting your bottom lip, you continue with the recount of coins.

“Want a ride back home?”

You know that he's trying to compensate you for his disappearance, but it's not enough. You want to ask him about your relationship, the problem resides in that you don't know how to ask about it. Closing and locking the cash box, you keep your laptop inside your bag, before wearing your leather jacket.

“I can walk, don't wo—”.

“I want to take you home”. Happy insists without letting you finish.

Sighing, you pucker your lips. Maintain eye contacts, you can read in his orbs that no matter how much you try to deny his invitation. He's decided to take you home. Hanging your bag on both shoulders and taking your phone and the keys, you turn off the rest of the lights before setting the alarm. Wearing the helmet on your head, you sit behind him. But this time, you don't cling your arms to his waist as you used to. You don't need it, actually, but the fact is that you don't want to touch him right now. If you do it, you're going to forgive him for anything he has done, and he doesn't deserve it. You understand that he is not okay, but you are tired of being pushed away whenever he wants, to push you back again whenever he needs someone to sleep with.

The bike stops in front of your house, jumping off from it to take off the helmet and offer it to him. It doesn't seem like Happy is going to stay, so you're just standing close to him waiting for anything. He is just staring at you in silence, expecting for some works coming from your mouth. Thanks for the ride. I've missed you. I want you to stay. Can you ask for a day off? Turning around and feeling an uncomfortable and bitter tingly inside your chest, you guide your steps to your porch, praying for him calling your name. Asking you to stop. Anything. But the only thing you hear putting the key inside the lock, is the engine roaring again, leaving when you close the front door.

You can't help but throw the bag to the table and your body to the sofa. Breaking into a loud cry, you hit once and again a cushion with your hands closed in two fists. The doorbell rings, just one time. Getting up to attend it, you clean your tears with the back of your fingers, hardly sniffing. Happy is there, about to say something when you punch him on the face. Your knuckles crack, uttering a howl of pain, and shaking your hand after it. Maybe your sorrow is harder than his, but you don't care. You're about to hit him again when he grabs your wrists, pushing you into his chest.

“I'm sorry, love”. He whispers into your ear.

That's enough for you to stop stirring under his grip, letting him surround your waist with both arms. Happy is not a man who apologizes, unless he has killed the wrong person. Coming into your house, he doesn't release his grip, closing the door with a gentle kick. You're trying to not cry again, with your cheek pressed against his chest.

“Didn't mean to worry you”.

“But you did, not knowing a shit about you for almost four days”.

Pulling yourself away and taking off your jacket.

“Nothing happened”.

“You had an accident. And everything that Jax told me was that your leg was hurt. Nothing else. I didn't even know if it was true or… what. Because you didn't let me see you”.

“I needed to rest”.

You don't know how to take these words. You two have different ways of doing things, but that doesn't mean that you can't take care of him without being too intense.

“I'm sorry”. He says again.

“I need to know what you want, Happy”. You finally say, without caring if he gets nervous or not. “What we are, what you are waiting for from me. Because I'm… confused. And I promised to not catch feelings, but I did”.

He doesn't make a single move after that confession, and that hurts more than a knife on your chest.

“If you're not gonna say anything… please, leave, 'cause I feel fucking humiliated right now”. You're sobbing with your lips trembling and your eyes reddened.

“I do”. For a moment, you frown confused. “I do love you”.

Seems enough for him, but not for you, even if you're conscious of how much it has cost it for him.

“You are my girl”. He adds. “I thought you knew it”.

“No, I didn't. We just… are together sometimes… And when we're not fucking, we're in a party. Maybe three or four times we have stayed at your house to watch a movie. But that it's all”.

“What else do you want?”

Crossing your arms over your chest, you think about the hundreds of answers that question has. Sarcastic ones, mostly. But then, you pay attention to the way he's talking to you with his eyes, in silence. He really wants to know.

“Spend more time together… Maybe… if you can, don't push me away when you need someone to take care of you. Even if you think you don't need it”.

Relaxing your posture, you take some steps closer towards him, cupping his cheek onto your palms. Leaning a little you kiss his lips. A gentle and lovely touch that gives him nice shivers around his chest. He nods one time.

“Can I stay tonight with you?” That whisper, hiding a painful beg, squeezes your heart.

“I want you to stay. I've missed you too much, Happy”.

A fleeting smile appears on the corner of his lips, right before kissing yours again. But his hands don't touch you, feeling some moves between your bodies. Pulling himself away some inches, the man offers you one of his golden rings. His favorite one, with a halcon etched on it.

“Keep it”.

You can't help but pout at Happy, putting it in your left forefinger. It fits perfectly. It looks perfect. And the smile it brings to your face makes Happy feel lucky for having you by his side, no matter what. Placing one of his hands on the back of your head, he pushes you a little closer to press his lips on your forehead. For a few long seconds. He's not a man of words, not even of gestures; you had to look at him for a lot of hours to learn to read his eyes. He's so expressive with them. And when he noticed that you could know what he was thinking about by just looking at his orbs, he felt blessed. But Happy is also learning to be more affectionate with you in the intimacy of your houses, or whenever you two are alone in the clubhouse. Your patience is his more appreciated-gift from you.

“I like how it sounds”. He mumbles, caressing your bottom lip with his thumb. “That you love me”.

“I love you, Happy”. You repeat, making him smile again against your lips, almost brushing them with the soft move.

An Imposter’s Heart

Relationships: Anxceit (Platonic), everyone else is just friendships

Characters: Virgil, Janus “Deceit”, Patton, Logan, Roman, Emile, Remy, various ocs 

Tags: Among Us, Video Games - Freeform, Magic, Friendships, Queerplatonic Relationships, Cursing, Platonic Relationships, Chronic Illness, Card Tricks, Mentions of Quarantine, mentions of burn scars, mentions of vitiligo

Word Count: 3175

Summary: Quarantine sucks, especially if you're a chronically ill streamer and let's player. But it's nice to have friends and partners there to support you all the way.

And to accuse of murder.

AO3

"Is this your card?" Janus smirks when he holds up an eight of hearts, his audience clearly freaking out when it inevitably becomes clear that it is in fact their card. “I thought so, goodbye.” He clicks the button that takes him to the next participant.

“Hello,” he says, tipping his hat. While it has become difficult in getting gigs booked when he’s an amatuer magician (he’s not so much amatuer but young) becoming a MeTuber actually has become a much more entertaining way of living his dream and fucking over other people’s minds with illusions.

It’s much more fun, and much more lucrative.

“You’re that— that magician snake guy. Uhh, Deceit, right?” the participant says, clearly recognizing him. “I recognize you because of your whole—” a hand waves in front, gesturing towards a cheek.

Janus has never been one to shy away from his scars or his vitiligo, embracing them as his aesthetic and as much of his character as he can. And Virgil says it reminds him of scales and he definitely plays that up with makeup, adding to the whole snake character.

Janus nods in the affirmative, “I’m just here wondering if you can guess how I do this card trick. Would you like to guess?”

“Yeah! My grandpa was a magician and really liked to do card tricks. Maybe I can guess it!” they say eagerly.

Janus chuckles, flipping a card back and forth with his fingers. He doubts it. This trick he came up with all on his own. “Wonderful,” he murmurs. He singularly flips one card between two hands, forming a diamond with his thumb. He does it a few times, making sure that his participant sees the card appear and reappear a few times.

“Oh! I know how you do that. You— you take the card and put it between your fingers on your other hand behind your palm—”

“Really?” Janus says, doing it again. He looks down at his hands, feigning looking them over, spreading his fingers wide and then turning his hands back and forth to show that no card rested behind his fingers. “How do you do that?” he scratches his head, biting down a smile when his participant gawks at him.

“No, really, how do you do that?” Janus says with a faux sincere smile.

“I cannot,” his participant says, ducking their head and logging off to show the loading screen.

He chuckles, logging off of Omagle. Turning towards his camera, he smiles mysteriously. “Thank you for watching, I hope to see you on the morrow.” With a flirtatious wave, Janus turns off his camera.

With a sigh, he slumps back into his chair, groaning at yet another video he has to edit soon if he wants to make his weekly update. Being a MeTuber, as fun as it seems and is at times, is utterly exhausting. Not to mention what his roommate and partner deals with on a constant basis.

While he has gotten a bit of a subscriber jump ever since he played a few games of Amidst Us with the Sanders Shows gang, he won’t even begin to explain the hoops and valleys that his roommate went through to get such a jump.

Virgil, or as called by his online persona Corpse Emo, has gotten a 3 million subscriber jump ever since the normies as Janus liked to call them got addicted to his deep and soothing voice. Generally anxious, Virgil had freaked out. A Lot.

But Virgil loves being a MeTuber, Janus knows. He loves reading scary stories and making conspiracy theories about cryptids and other spooky things. But Janus also knows that Virgil gets freaked out by large numbers and performing if he doesn’t have everything handled.

Which is why he’s a faceless MeTuber and just a deep, soothing voice that people love to listen to. Something that Virgil is able to handle and control, to an extent. He obviously can’t help the fact that he has an incredibly recognizable voice or hair or hands.

So he compensates by being the main source of income and stays home while Janus goes out and gets the groceries and food. The little shit is lucky that Janus cares for him.

He hears the door to Virgil’s recording room open, and he blinks lazily. Groaning, he pulls himself up and stretches on his way out, only wearing half his usual attire and layers. With a scratch to his cheek, he leaves to meet Virgil out in the hallway.

“Gamer bladder?” Janus asks dryly when he sees Virgil zip through to the bathroom. He looks much too freaked to truly be in need of the restroom, eye bags darker than usual, so Janus assumes that Virgil needs to de-stress and take a moment to himself. The needs of the people too great and demanding. Janus can sympathize, fans can be the absolute worst sometimes.

Virgil flips him off, closing the door with a sharp thud. “Go entertain my chat,” Virgil’s words come out muffled behind the door, “they keep asking when Snake-Eyed Deceit is coming back on to play. It’s so fucking annoying.”

Janus would believe the indignation if Virgil doesn’t sound so fond. “You know I’m not much of a gamer, Virge,” Janus reminds him patiently.

“Just talk to them,” Virgil mutters, and Janus imagines Virgil curling into their bathtub with his hoodie drawn tight around him, lights turned off to complete the room. “Play a game if I take too long. It’s proximity anyway.”

Janus raps on the door lightly, “Just remember to drink some water. Did you take your meds?”

“Yes, mom,” Virgil rasps out, voice scratchy. “Fuck off.”

With a sigh, Janus raps an affirmative on the wood door and meanders his way down to Virgil’s recording room. He taps out a few greetings in chat, and then moves Virgil’s character blob in game.

“Emo, you’re back!” one of Virgil’s streamer friends cheers, doing a little wiggle in game.

“Not exactly,” Janus says into the mic lowly. A glance down at the chat shows them exploding in greetings to him with which he responds back politely. Doesn’t hurt to try and get new followers.

“Oh, it’s the Snake guy,” another says, and this voice Janus knows all too well.

“Hello to you, too, Roman,” Janus purrs. “Or should I call you Valkyrome? What a particularly creative name. Combining mythologies. Tell me, did you want to be a Valkyrie as a child.”

Roman puffs up, voice flustered, “Perhaps, they are one of the greatest warriors in Norse myths.”

“Oh, yes, I’m sure,” Janus says. He moves into the customization section of the game, changing from Virgil’s signature black and cat ears to yellow and a top hat. He keeps the name however, too lazy to change that. “How is everyone? It’s been a while since I’ve talked to you all. Yes, hello to you as well, chat.”

“Salutations, Snake,” Logic or Logan says monotonously in greeting. “I’m doing well.”

“HI, JAN!” Cupcake Harts, otherwise known as Patton Hart, cheers. Janus can’t help but twitch at the exorbitant cheerfulness, grating on his nerves a bit. Nothing against Patton, but the relentless sunshine can burn just a tad overwhelming sometimes.

Nevertheless, fondness tugs at his heart, “Hello again, Cupcake.”

“Is Corpse okay?” he asks, concern lacing every word. “He didn’t sound so lively last round. Is the kiddo good?”

“The Emo will be alright, but he gave me permission to play a few rounds as his little character for a bit if that would be alright.”

“Of course!” Patton says happily. “We don’t mind, do we?” Everyone else starts to overlap with words of reassurance at that, and Janus smiles. If anything, Janus is glad that Virgil was able to make friends this year. It has boosted the man’s confidence much more than it had been even if there is still some of that self-consciousness and anxiety that lingers.

“Alright, let’s start.” Logan cuts through the cacophony and the game counts down from five to begin.

---

“CUPCAKE WAS FAKING TASKS!” Roman screams when the meeting is called up, repeating it as much as he can. He clicks to vote instantly, not letting Patton explain.

Janus snickers at that, knowing for a fact that he was the imposter along with Remy.

“Roman, kiddo, do you really think that I would fake tasks with so many people in the room? I mean I could be the imposter, but I was alone so many times with Jodie.”

“He was,” Jodie confirms, “I don’t think that Cupcake is the imposter, he could’ve killed me so many times in specimen.”

“No, no Jodie, I mean I could be the imposter but that doesn’t mean that I couldn’t marinate you. I could just be playing a long game.”

“Ugh, he’s doing that double speak again,” Roman groans. “Cupcake, are you the imposter or not?”

“No, but I mean I could be,” Patton says with a mischievous tone that made Janus roll his eyes.

Janus skips his vote quickly, “Let’s just skip, there’s only one person dead.”

A murmur of agreement follows Janus’ declaration.

“Let me postulate this, but I think that the imposters are Deceit and Sleep.”

“How dare you—?” Remy immediately starts in on Logan, false offense filling up his words and making him much louder. Incessant clicking from their keyboard as rage fills their heart. “I will have you know that I was nowhere near the kill. You know what, I think it’s Specs, actually, he keeps framing me.

“Well, let’s settle down now,” Emile, otherwise known as Dr. Stitch, tries to intervene. “It’s only the first round of the game after all.”

“Uh, no can do, doc, not when my integrity is on the line.”

“What integrity,” Virgil mutters, and Janus whirled around in Virgil’s desk chair to see him leaning on the frame of the door.

“Is that Emo??” Patton squeals happily, “Hi! Are you taking over for Deceit? The game’s just started.”

Virgil shakes his head even though the only ones who can see are himself and Janus, his thick purple-brown curls falling in front of his brown eyes, “Nah, let Dee have a turn murdering everyone, I know he enjoys it.”

“Liess and slander,” Janus hisses, purposefully elongating his ‘s’ to make him seem more snake like.

“Does that mean Dee’s an imposter!?!” Roman screams as the meeting panel falls away and the little characters start running around crazily.

“I’m not the imposter, I’m not the imposter,” Janus lies reassuringly, shooting a dark glare at Virgil behind him as the taller one stifles his giggles, hiding the amusement in his eyes behind his hair.

He settles into Janus’ lap, completely obscuring the screen and his view of the game. “Emo, please let me play the game.”

“Hmm,” Virgil hums, tucking his head underneath Janus’ chin, a feat in and of itself given the height difference, “no, I’m comfortable. I’ll just sit here and talk to chat.”

With a sigh, Janus continues the arduous task of running around in the game with the much difficult challenge of having an emo in his lap. Virgil, for his part, looks very content and Janus can’t help but run his fingers through curly purple-brown hair.

“Hello, Roman.”

Roman yelps, “Who said that? How can you see me?” The lights in the game have been turned off and have been for a while, and Janus is taking advantage of the fact that Roman has been left in the far left hand corner of the map where people rarely go.

“Oh, Roman, Roman, Roman,” Janus says, tongue curling on his name with a knife. Roman screams, protesting and shouting for Janus not to do it. “Sorry about that, Ro,” Janus says with a manic giggle as he slices through Roman’s character.

“Big yikes,” Virgil murmurs. “No, chat, I’m not gonna do that, stop suggesting it. Anyway, yeah, I’m gonna be having some major collabs soon with some artists and I have so many cool projects on the way. Thank you guys so much for everything. We wouldn’t have gotten this far without you.”

“Aww, is that you, Emo? Are you talking to chat while Deceit plays?” Leslie pipes up, running close and in circles around Janus’ little blob character.

“Yup,” Virgil pops the last letter, “and guess what?”

“What?” Leslie asks just as Janus’ kill cooldown hit zero.

Janus clicks kill and Leslie screams in protest, her outrage cutting off when the body flops down onto the map. Virgil snorts out a laugh, cackling as Janus smiles indulgently, running around crazily on the map.

A new meeting is called up, this time two people have been killed, clearly shown on screen as having died: Roman and Leslie.

“Guys, guys, guys. I think Remy is the imposter,” Patton is saying. He’s the one who reported Leslie’s body“I’m pretty sure I saw him vent in electrical.”

“Excuse me, Kingdom Hearts!” Remy interrupts rudely. “I wasn’t even in electrical this round. You should get your prescription checked.”

“We needn’t vote here,” Logan interjects sagely. “We are, after all, on seven. But, need I remind you that Remy has been suspicious two rounds now and this time two bodies have been killed. I believe it would be wise to vote him off.”

“Uh uh, glasses here. I know you’re Mr. Big Brain and everything, but I am telling you that it ain’t me,” Remy takes a large sip of whatever drink he has on hand to emphasize his point.

With almost agreed silence, everyone votes and it’s an almost unanimous decision to vote off Remy, causing him to squawk.

“Oh no, you guys really voted for him? You guys voted him off?” Patton is saying as Remy starts screaming curse words and regret.

“What do you mean? You’re the one who said that you caught him venting—”

Janus starts to walk off, the conversation dying out the further he went. He walks to a secluded side of the map, making sure that no one can see as he waits for the cooldown.

“Think you can pull it off?” Virgil asks.

“Without a doubt,” Janus responds.

“What are you guys talking about?” Jodie walks up, suspicion in her question.

“Oh nothing,” Virgil starts, “except this—” and Janus clicks to kill.

Virgil starts talking to both chat and the other players as Janus starts his murder spree quietly. The two of them work as partners, Virgil talking and distracting the players as Janus offs them one by one.

Janus accidentally kills a person in front of someone else, but luckily he didn’t seem to see. “Okay, so I think this was Dragon,” Jace is saying.

Dragon immediately protests, “What do you mean? Where’s the body?”

“Emo, you just walked into admin, right? Did you see Dragon run out?” Jace asks.

“Um, maybe, I think so, yeah?” Virgil says, playing dumb.

“Then it’s Dragon. They were the one to kill, I saw them run out of admin just as the body flopped. Emo, back me up here.”

“Wait, what? I wasn’t even near—”

“AND they were sus last round, so.”

Quite easily, Dragon is voted off, but the game continues.

“I don’t get it, I thought it was Dragon and Sleep,” Jace says.

“Unless it was a self-report,” Logan posits. “You could’ve been caught by Dragon or Emo and you just reported to throw suspicion off yourself.”

Janus called up the meeting button, and Virgil got ready to speak, “Well, we could always 50/50 it. One of them has to be the imposter, right? We’re sure we got out one of them earlier with Remy and if it wasn’t Dragon, then it has to be Jace.”

“No, listen, Emo, I am begging you. I am on my knees, literally in real life right now, don’t vote for me, I am innocent. Please, I’m literally on my knees right now! It’s not me!!”

“Patton, I’m trusting you here,” Logan says. “Do you really think it’s Jace and not Emo?”

“Emo wouldn’t do that to us,” Patton says, though a bit unsurely, “and here’s the thing if Emo’s the imposter then he’ll win and get his video, but if he’s not then we win as crewmate. Either way, it’s a win-win situation!”

“What? Guys! That’s not how this works,” Jace pleads. “Please, it’s not me! I’m serious.”

But too late, the votes come in and Jace is voted out, his character yeeted out into space. And the game continues.

Logan screams in realization, “Patton, I trusted you! It’s Emo, it’s Emo. Oh my goodness. Patton, run! Run!”

“Logan, I have been waiting for this moment my entire life—” Virgil says manically as Logan starts to lose it, running around and screaming at Patton that he trusted Patton and that they voted off the wrong person.

Virgil calls a sabotage and starts to really race after Logan.

“Logan, I was right!” Patton says, slowly trailing after them just to keep up with the conversation. “That means Emo does get to have his video. And I get to be in it! Either way, it’s a win!”

Janus loses it, laughing just as hard as everyone else when Virgil finally manages to click the kill button, the victory screen loading up just as quickly as everyone’s voices come back loud and cheery.

“Good game, everybody—”

“Emo, that was hilarious—”

“Patton, I trusted you—”

“YOU GUYS VOTED ME OUT???—”

Virgil smiles up at Janus from his perch on Janus’ lap, contentment swimming in those brown eyes. Janus is helpless to smile back, even if he’s a bit overwhelmed by the noises. He nuzzles the top of Virgil’s head, burying his face in dark purple-brown curls.

“That was an amazing game, oh my gosh—”

Virgil buries himself into Janus’ warm body, a catlike grin stretching across his face. “Good job, Jan,” he whispers, making sure that chat doesn’t hear the name.

“I think you should be getting that congratulations, little Emo nerd,” Janus says dryly. “You got the final kill of the game after all.”

“Hey, Emo and Dee cheated! They worked together—!”

“We were using one character, jackass! It’s not our fault you guys didn’t think it was us!” Virgil yells back in retaliation, laughter edging on his words. More protests and compliments and whatnot continued as the gamers started arguing over each other again.

Warmth wraps around Janus like a warm hug and he wraps his own arms around Virgil as he continues heckling and joking around with friends, a new game already started. Virgil squirms in his hold to sit in his lap properly so that Virgil’s back is to Janus’ chest, moving to get comfortable.

“Alright, we won’t play together again—” Virgil is saying. Janus just holds Virgil in his lap tightly, contentment curling around him and settling into his stomach like a warm meal.

Sometimes life sucks, giving you chronic illness or vitiligo and burn scars. But sometimes life doesn’t suck so much when you have friends by your side and laughter surrounding you.

Month of AUs Day 2 - Angels & Demons

So I know this is waaaayyy after the second day of the month but I’ve just kind of accepted I’m not a quick enough writer to post a fic a day. So basically, these are just going to get posted when they get posted, and hopefully I’ll be able to get them out a bit quicker once I get more into the swing of writing them. 

But moving on from that, here’s fic no. 2, which is my angels & demons AU. I’ve actually got a long fic in the works for this AU, though the plot and premise for it aren’t quite the same as this fic, but given my writing speed and the number of wips I have at the moment, when it’ll surface from the murky depths of my brain and onto paper is anyone’s guess. But anyway, I hope you enjoy, and maybe there’ll be more of this AU in the future. :D

Time froze the moment Elizabeth, angel of the Overrealm and appointed custodian of Cornwall by the Celestial Court, stepped with her usual delicate poise into the decidedly unholy premises of The Red Lion in Truro. Everyone, everything slowed to a stop at her behest, as if the whole inn were playing out an eerie tableau simply for her benefit. The ale that the bartender had been pouring out for his patrons hung in the air, not even a single drop succumbing to the forces of gravity as it rightly should. A group of raggedy men in the corner by the window were suspended in the midst of playing a game of cards, their weathered faces serious and inscrutable. By the stairs to the side of the bar, a pretty young woman was frozen in the midst of her ascent, her painted face turned back to a well-to-do man below her, whose hand she had clasped in a light grip. From both of their expressions, their intentions were quite plain. Elizabeth, however, barely paid any mind to any of these sights beyond a quick glance. She had been on the earthly plane too long to hold onto any of the squeamishness that some of her kin might have felt upon seeing such things. Humans loved to indulge in simple pleasures of all kinds, and as long as they were not hurting anybody with them, she saw no reason to intervene. And in any case, that was not why she had come here.

Though almost everything about her was completely still, there was one hint of movement in this bizarre scene, and it quickly caught her attention. It had come from a slim, elegant gentleman dressed in a striking red tailcoat, who was perched beside the fire in an old wooden chair. Said fire was flickering merrily in bold defiance of the hold she had on the passage of time, almost giving the man’s blond curls the appearance of being aflame with light as he perused two long scrolls with narrowed eyes and pursed lips, barely taking notice of the fact that everyone around him was completely motionless. It was over to him that Elizabeth headed, gathering up her skirts and lowering herself into the rickety chair opposite him.

“Hello, George” she said, calmly.

The demon’s eyes flickered up to her from the contract he was reading, eyebrows raised. He was wearing his human guise, as he usually did when he spent time on the Surface. She had only seen his true form a handful of times in the centuries of their acquaintance--there he was all horns and wings and claws, sharp-edged and dangerous--but in his human form, he might simply have been a fashionable gentleman from London or Bath or some other such place had it not been for those eyes. Icy blue though they were, she always fancied she could se something of his native realm’s fire in them, something of his Internal Flame which kept him burning and living in place of a soul.

“Elizabeth,” he replied, tone measured, unconcerned by her presence in a way that she knew would lead the members of the Celestial Court, had they been there to witness it, to suppose she must have been greatly remiss in her duties. “How might I assist you? I assume this,” he gestured around them with one pale hand, “is for my benefit?”

Elizabeth inclined her head.

“I do not wish to be overheard by the humans,” she returned, glancing towards his reading material. “Might I ask who has been unfortunate enough to sign those?”

“Foolish enough, you mean,” said George with a derisive snort. “Besides, I’m not entirely sure I should answer that.”

Elizabeth merely raised her eyebrows at him. George was naturally cautious about his dealings, but she knew well enough that he would tell her anyway--even if he had not desired to impress her with his successes, a look from her was often more than enough to melt his resistance.

“Very well,” he sighed after a short moment. “The first is for Agatha Poldark. She wishes to live for a hundred years. The second is for Lord Falmouth. He wishes to win the next election. Oh, don’t look at me like that,” he added upon seeing her disapproving frown. “It is their desires that have led them to trade away their souls, not mine. They summoned me. And anyway, they will be damned no matter what I do. The crone is thoroughly unpleasant to all those around her, even to those who show her kindness, and the lord cares for nought but himself and his dwindling prestige. This way, I am simply assured of my payment. That is all.”

And wasn’t that ever so typical of George--cynical and a little cold-blooded, blunt in stating the failings of his debtors, not as a moral judgement, but as a simple statement of fact. But then, this was all just business to him. Souls, after all, were the most valuable currency in Hell.

“You aren’t permitted to involve yourself in human political affairs,” Elizabeth reminded him, allowing a hint of sternness to creep into her tone. “You shouldn’t be influencing the result of the election.”

Despite himself, George looked mildly chastened by her reprimand. Still, she knew that it as not for fear of the wrath of Heaven, but rather for fear of disappointing her. She repressed a sigh--she didn’t much like being disappointed in him either, but as much as they often found a degree of compromise between their contrary missions, her role here was to protect humanity, and she could not allow him to do too much harm in his pursuit of souls to tempt into damnation.

“Human politics is full of corruption,” he argued, though the attempt was half-hearted at best. “What is a little nudge from the Underrealm amid all that?”

“Which is precisely why I do not want Hell interfering. I was placed here to make these people’s lives better.”

“And I to make their lives worse,” replied George with a shrug. “We have been doing this dance far longer than any Lord Falmouth or his ilk has lived on this earth. But if it displeases you so much, then I suppose I could tear up the contract. He will go to Hell anyway in the end.”

Without warning, the contract in his right hand suddenly burst into flames. In a second, it was burnt to nought but cinders. Elizabeth didn’t start at the suddenness of it--she had seen far too many displays of George’s powers to be alarmed by them by now. Then, he rolled up the second contract and tucked it away into his coat, turning back to her with a quizzical look upon his handsome face.

“Is that our business concluded, then?,” he asked, only mildly disgruntled. “It seems to have proved rather more detrimental to me than it has to you.”

Elizabeth smiled at him. She knew he was not nearly as put out as he pretended to be. He wanted to please her--had done almost since the beginning of their acquaintance--and that would not change simply because of a lost deal with a corrupt lord.

“Thank you” she said, gently.

If he were human, he might have blushed in the face of her gratitude, but as it was, he simply ducked his head in that peculiar way of his, as he did whenever she said something which made him happy.

“Yes, well,” he replied, a little awkward despite himself. “Naturally, I expect compensation. Think what would happen to my reputation if it were to be discovered that I had torn up a contract for free.”

He was not being entirely serious, and so she responded in kind.

“Oh, naturally. Shall tea tomorrow at Cusgarne suffice as an apology?”

George tilted his head to one side, as if considering the offer.

“As long as there are crumpets, all shall be forgiven.”

Elizabeth laughed, reminded suddenly of just why she had started their...little arrangement all those centuries ago. Admittedly, she had never quite intended to grow as fond of him as she had, but she had heard it said that life was about change for humans. If so, why could it not be the same for them?

“Crumpets and tea it is, then,” she said. “Now, shall we let these people go about their day? I think I have interrupted it long enough.”

“Please, it isn’t as if they’ll know anything about it.”

“Yes, but I shall know, and I don’t care to be a nuisance to them.”

She rose to her feet at that, and George, though he seemed a little disappointed at her leaving so soon after their business had been wrapped up, stood with her, taking her hand in a gentle grasp and bringing it to his lips in that oddly formal manner of his. There was a familiar look in his eyes, intense yet soft at the same time, that reminded her once again of that thing that stood unspoken between them--the reason why she could so easily persuade him to tear up a contract on her behalf, and the reason why she, who was so alone on this plane, in her earth house shrouded away from humanity and kept away from her kin in the Overrealm by her duties, showed him lenience that she would never dare afford to any other demon. Then, after what, despite her long immortal years, seemed like an age, he let her hand go and stepped back away from her.

“I shall call upon you at Cusgarne on the morrow” he said, sketching her a neat little bow. Then, within a blink of an eye, he was gone, into the fire and away.

As soon as he was gone, Elizabeth let out a breath she barely realised she had been holding, and with it, time moved again. Well, she thought to herself wryly as the bartender finished pouring out a tankard of ale for his patron, one of the raggedy men placed a winning card down on the table, and the lady with the painted face tugged her soon-to-be lover up the stairs, the Celestial Court would no doubt be highly amused to hear that some of her greatest successes here in Cornwall hinged largely on the fact that she had--somehow--managed to persuade a demon to fall in love with her. They would be less amused, however, she thought as she let her fingers brush against where George’s--warm, so very warm--lips had pressed against her skin, to learn that she might well just be falling in love in return.

[adreamofspring-archive]

By midday Daenerys was feeling the weight of the crown upon her head, and the hardness of the bench beneath her. With so many still waiting on her pleasure, she did not stop to eat. Instead she dispatched Jhiqui to the kitchens for a platter of flatbread, olives, figs, and cheese. She nibbled whilst she listened, and sipped from a cup of watered wine. The figs were fine, the olives even finer, but the wine left a tart metallic aftertaste in her mouth. The small pale yellow grapes native to these regions produced a notably inferior vintage. We shall have no trade in wine. Besides, the Great Masters had burned the best arbors along with the olive trees.

In the afternoon a sculptor came, proposing to replace the head of the great bronze harpy in the Plaza of Purification with one cast in Dany’s image. She denied him with as much courtesy as she could muster. A pike of unprecedented size had been caught in the Skahazadhan, and the fisherman wished to give it to the queen. She admired the fish extravagantly, rewarded the fisherman with a purse of silver, and sent the pike to her kitchens. A coppersmith had fashioned her a suit of burnished rings to wear to war. She accepted it with fulsome thanks; it was lovely to behold, and all that burnished copper would flash prettily in the sun, though if actual battle threatened, she would sooner be clad in steel. Even a young girl who knew nothing of the ways of war knew that.

The slippers the Butcher King had sent her had grown too uncomfortable. Dany kicked them off and sat with one foot tucked beneath her and the other swinging back and forth. It was not a very regal pose, but she was tired of being regal. The crown had given her a headache, and her buttocks had gone to sleep. “Ser Barristan,” she called, “I know what quality a king needs most.”

“Courage, Your Grace?”

“Cheeks like iron,” she teased. “All I do is sit.”

“Your Grace takes too much on herself. You should allow your councillors to shoulder more of your burdens.”

“I have too many councillors and too few cushions.” Dany turned to Reznak. “How many more?”

“Three-and-twenty, if it please Your Magnificence. With as many claims.” The seneschal consulted some papers. “One calf and three goats. The rest will be sheep or lambs, no doubt.”

“Three-and-twenty.” Dany sighed. “My dragons have developed a prodigious taste for mutton since we began to pay the shepherds for their kills. Have these claims been proven?”

“Some men have brought burnt bones.”

“Men make fires. Men cook mutton. Burnt bones prove nothing. Brown Ben says there are red wolves in the hills outside the city, and jackals and wild dogs. Must we pay good silver for every lamb that goes astray between Yunkai and the Skahazadhan?”

“No, Magnificence.” Reznak bowed. “Shall I send these rascals away, or will you want them scourged?” Daenerys shifted on the bench.

“No man should ever fear to come to me.” Some claims were false, she did not doubt, but more were genuine. Her dragons had grown too large to be content with rats and cats and dogs. The more they eat, the larger they will grow, Ser Barristan had warned her, and the larger they grow, the more they’ll eat. Drogon especially ranged far afield and could easily devour a sheep a day. “Pay them for the value of their animals,” she told Reznak, “but henceforth claimants must present themselves at the Temple of the Graces and swear a holy oath before the gods of Ghis.”

“It shall be done.” Reznak turned to the petitioners. “Her Magnificence the Queen has consented to compensate each of you for the animals you have lost,” he told them in the Ghiscari tongue. “Present yourselves to my factors on the morrow, and you shall be paid in coin or kind, as you prefer.”

The pronouncement was received in sullen silence. You would think they might be happier, Dany thought. They have what they came for. Is there no way to please these people?

One man lingered behind as the rest were filing out—a squat man with a windburnt face, shabbily dressed. His hair was a cap of coarse red-black wire cropped about his ears, and in one hand he held a sad cloth sack. He stood with his head down, gazing at the marble floor as if he had quite forgotten where he was. And what does this one want? Dany wondered.

“All kneel for Daenerys Stormborn, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Khaleesi of Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Shackles, and Mother of Dragons,” cried Missandei in her high, sweet voice.

As Dany stood, her tokar began to slip. She caught it and tugged it back in place. “You with the sack,” she called, “did you wish to speak with us? You may approach.” When he raised his head, his eyes were red and raw as open sores. Dany glimpsed Ser Barristan sliding closer, a white shadow at her side. The man approached in a stumbling shuffle, one step and then another, clutching his sack. Is he drunk, or ill? she wondered. There was dirt beneath his cracked yellow fingernails.

“What is it?” Dany asked. “Do you have some grievance to lay before us, some petition? What would you have of us?” His tongue flicked nervously over chapped, cracked lips.

“I … I brought …”

“Bones?” she said, impatiently. “Burnt bones?” He lifted the sack, and spilled its contents on the marble.

Bones they were, broken bones and blackened. The longer ones had been cracked open for their marrow.

“It were the black one,” the man said, in a Ghiscari growl, “the winged shadow. He come down from the sky and … and …”

No. Dany shivered. No, no, oh no.

“Are you deaf, fool?” Reznak mo Reznak demanded of the man. “Did you not hear my pronouncement? See my factors on the morrow, and you shall be paid for your sheep.”

“Reznak,” Ser Barristan said quietly, “hold your tongue and open your eyes. Those are no sheep bones.”

No, Dany thought, those are the bones of a child.

Regarding Leonard Cohen’s poetry (part 2 of 2 - part 1 here).

“Alexandra Leaving” appeared on 2001’s Ten New Songs. Like the other songs on that album, it was later published as part of the poetry collection Book of Longing, time-and-place-stamped to Hydra, 1999 -- though according to Cohen, it was begun as early as 1985, contemporaneously with “Take This Waltz” and just after the release of Various Positions. In concert, as above, it was often performed by Sharon Robinson as a solo setpiece.

Nine years passed between The Future (of which more later) and Ten New Songs, during which Leonard Cohen burned out on touring, became a Zen monk, stopped being a Zen monk, went to India, and endured a major, multi-year depressive episode. Despite this, the texts of both albums -- and much of the rest of Book of Longing -- have a kind of rhythmic consistency. It’s a matter of scansion. I think of it as a lope, like the pace of a marathon runner settling in for the stretch; deceptively syncopated from the camera’s angle.

It actually reminds me of nothing so much as Algernon Swinburne:

There go the loves that wither,         The old loves with wearier wings; And all dead years draw thither,         And all disastrous things; Dead dreams of days forsaken, Blind buds that snows have shaken, Wild leaves that winds have taken,         Red strays of ruined springs.

We are not sure of sorrow,         And joy was never sure; To-day will die to-morrow;         Time stoops to no man's lure; And love, grown faint and fretful, With lips but half regretful Sighs, and with eyes forgetful         Weeps that no loves endure.

From too much love of living,         From hope and fear set free, We thank with brief thanksgiving         Whatever gods may be That no life lives for ever; That dead men rise up never; That even the weariest river         Winds somewhere safe to sea.

And so on. Well; that was a good bit. I didn’t give you “Faustine.” The point is Swinburne went on for twelve verses like that, but you sense he could have gone for fifty. Sometimes he published all fifty when he should have known better. He was a fount. Whereas Leonard Cohen deployed the same strategy so he could painstakingly eke out fifty verses, only to whittle them down to five for publication (every once in a while, a performance variant appeared). The shadow text -- the shadow effort -- was monumental.

So the “new songs” weren’t necessarily new, so much as it took longer, in some cases, to understand which ideas deserved to leave the notebook. They became spare, the runner shedding weight to compensate for age. They were waiting on a change in mindset.

***

“Alexandra Leaving” is an adaptation -- not a cover -- of C. P. Cavafy’s “The God Abandons Antony.” (I don’t think Leonard Cohen’s ever copped to Swinburne.) Cavafy was a Gay of Deep Feeling as much as Lorca, also a rock polisher sort of dude, but one who didn’t tread the boards. No declamation, no theatre, no song. At his best he told you -- civilly, with terse clarity and gentle irony -- what he was about. He lived his whole life in his home city, worked a boring day job, and self-published solely for his friends. I find him immensely relatable, and perhaps Cohen did as well, or grew to.

Cavafy’s original is Cohen’s thematic reference material. The plot’s changed: instead of the tide of history turning against a conqueror, the subject is beginning to lose a lover. Cavafy exhorts Antony across time, mentally, the way all historians chat to their preferred figures in their heads. Cohen, as usual, talks to himself. 

The moral remains the same: don’t rail against fate. It comes at the stately pace of music; accept it with dignity. But more than that, most crucially -- understand what is happening to you. Now, in this instant. Mark it. Know why you are here.

Do not say the moment was imagined; do not stoop to strategies like this.

Part 3 - Bartered Bride

Molly smiled and smiled and smiled yet again, feeling as if her lips would soon fall from her face but knowing what was expected of her. Even though all in attendance knew of the true circumstances of her wedding to Master Culverton Smith, they expected exactly what she was giving them all: the appearance of a happy bride who was preparing for a new life, the same life so many other women in her station in life would welcome.

Welcome, or resign themselves to. Molly bit back a melancholy sigh as she watched her new husband sitting at the head of the trestle table that had been set up for the bridal party, while she sat with her mother and the other married women of the village and endured their whispered advice about her wedding night.

A night which was rapidly approaching.

A night which she was dreading, most ardently.

The thunder of approaching hoofbeats interrupted her thoughts, drowning out the cheerful music being played on tambor and flute. The musicians stopped to stare at the newcomer along with everyone else. Molly and her wedding-night advisors rose to their feet to gawp and stare at the sight of a strange nobleman bringing his coal-black steed to a dramatic stop mere feet from the wooden trestle table at which her new husband still sat with his cronies, a mug of ale halfway to his lips and an expression of shock on his face.

Molly started to move closer, but her mother clutched her sleeve and shook her head, wordlessly forbidding her to move forward. Still in the habit of obedience, Molly remained still, her straining eyes fixed on the cloaked figure now swinging with ease from the saddle and alighting on the ground. “Master Culverton Smith?” she heard him say, and gasped, feeling the color drain from her cheeks as she recognized the man’s deep, imperious voice.

It was him, the man from the early afternoon, the one whom she’d allowed to kiss her. She had no need of seeing his face, for that voice was burned into her very soul. What was he doing here, now? Why had he come? Had he come - nay, he could not possibly have come for her! And if he had, why, he was too late; she was already wed.

These confused thoughts and more raced through her mind as her new husband slowly lowered his tankard and rose to his far-from-impressive height. “I am Master Culverton Smith, aye,” he replied with an obsequious bow as he swept his hat from his head. “To what do I owe the honor, my lord?”

“I am here on the king’s business,” was the reply, and Molly’s heart sank. Foolish girl, to have hoped this was on her behalf. “Forgive the intrusion, but it is a matter of some urgency.” Then he turned his head and looked squarely at her before gesturing for Master Smith to join him away from the others.

As soon as they vanished from view the wedding party and celebrants all began speaking in hushed tones, the sole topic of speculation being the odd meeting between nobleman and merchant. Were Smith to be arrested for some wrongdoing, surely Sheriff Lestrade and his men would have been dispatched, rather than the handsome stranger from Londontown.

A few worrisome minutes later her husband (she shuddered to think of him by that title) strode into the center of the clearing. “I thank you all for joining in the festivities,” he said in that pompous manner he had, “but I pray your indulgence and ask that you all return home. All is well,” he hastened to assure them as murmurs of consternation arose from the small group. “All is well, but the king’s business is one I must attend to - myself and my lovely bride.” He smiled and gestured for Molly to join him.

After a last, confused glance at her mother - who looked equally confused - Molly stepped away from the other woman, walking to her husband and laying her hand in his. His smile never faltered, but there was something about it that she misliked, something dark that set her heart to pounding and clenched her stomach with sudden fear. Whatever the king’s business was, it was surely to her husband’s profit, else he’d not be so obviously pleased...but somehow she feared what was to come.

As the revelers returned to their homes - her mother and brothers remaining to mind the bonfire, which had hours left before it could be safely doused - she and her husband joined the nobleman, who was waiting with ill-concealed impatience in the darkness beyond the light of the bonfire and the few torches that had been lit. “You agree, then?” he said as Molly and Smith came to a stop before him.

“It is the king’s command,” her husband said. “How could I, a humble merchant, disobey?” He turned to Molly, raising her hands up and kissing them one at a time. She held back her shudder of distaste, just as she had when he’d placed his mouth on hers at the conclusion of their wedding ceremony, merely bobbed her head in acknowledgement.

Instead of releasing her, Culverton led her to the other man, and placed her hands in his. “She is the king’s for the night,” she heard him say through the sudden rushing of blood in her ears. “To be returned to me on the morrow.”

“I-I- what means this, my lord?” Molly stammered out, looking between her husband and the nobleman in confusion. “I am to go to meet the king? For what purpose?”

Her husband reached into his belt and pulled out a gem-encrusted ring that looked to be made of solid gold. “Why, the king has seen your beauty, my dear, and has claimed the right of jus prima noctis. And this is our compensation.”

Molly had believed herself incapable of being further shocked by anything that happened in her life, but her husband’s words, condemning her to a night of submission to a man she’d never seen, one who might well be worse than the devil she knew (God forgive her the blasphemy), sent a cold chill down her spine she could do nothing to disguise. “I am to be traded for a mere ring like a, a sack of grain?” she hissed, trying to pull her hands away from the king’s messenger. Who refused to allow her go, yet continued to say nothing.

“Why no, my dearest, of course not!” Culverton sounded indignant. He leaned forward to kiss her cheek. Though she twisted her head away in disgust, she could move no further with her hands still trapped. “If his majesty finds your company pleasing, then he’s likely to give you one as well, to demonstrate his gratitude.” His voice turned hard, and he reached up to grip her chin in his hand, staring balefully at her. “So I expect you to work very, very hard to please him, else I find reason to turn your mother and brothers out of their home after all.

She yanked her head away, utterly repulsed by his grasping, greedy nature, more than horrified that she was to be tied to this man for the rest of her life.

Suddenly the idea of her virginity being bartered away to the king seemed much the lesser of the two evils.

Raising her head, she looked up at the man holding her hands in his. “I’m ready for you to take me, my lord.”

She thought she saw him smile, but it was so fleeting that she thought perhaps she’d only imagined it. He nodded curtly at her husband, then released her hands and mounted his horse. Reaching down to her, she placed her hand back in his grasp and allowed him to lift her so she was riding pillion, her arms wrapped securely around his waist.

She did not look back even once.

Title: La Pucelle et la Coccinelle (Part 3)

Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug

Word count: 4097

Prologue | Part 1 | Part 2

This is a really freaking long chapter, so I apologize for that. ;; I hope you guys enjoy it anyway!

Sure enough, the next time Joan went before Robert de Baudricourt, he held a tattered letter in his hand, and was gaping at her as if he'd seen a ghost.

Joan didn't return to Vaucouleurs that month.

Or the month after that, or the month after that.

In June, news came that the earl of Salisbury had arrived in France and was making his way to Orleans. It was followed not long after, in July, by a Burgundian raid on Domremy. Joan and her family, along with the other villagers, fled to nearby Neufchateau. Tikki tried to ask Joan why she hadn't made any attempts to prevent Domremy from being raided, but her only answer was a vague “that is not for me to do.”

By the time the villagers of Domremy were able to return, Vaucouleurs had been besieged. Robert de Baudricourt, it turned out, had been forced to pledge neutrality in order to have the siege lifted. Domremy itself was a wreck. The fields had been destroyed, and several houses burnt to the ground.

What was hardest for Joan, however, was what had become of the church of St. Remy. Though the exterior had survived, the interior had burned almost beyond repair. Joan fell to her knees when she saw what had happened to the church, and she wept. Tikki popped her head out of Joan's pouch and, after checking that the coast was clear, emerged to comfort her master.

Joan barely spared a glance for Tikki. Her eyes were locked on the charred remains of the altar. “What have they done to Your house?” she whispered through her tears.

Tikki, feeling rather awkward and quite as if this was too intensely personal for her to be witnessing, drifted up to hug Joan's cheek. Tears wet the top of Tikki's head.

“Don't worry, Joan,” she murmured. “I'm sure they'll have it fixed soon enough.”

Joan wiped at her eyes and at the cheek Tikki wasn't hugging. “I weep for the destruction, but I weep more for the state of the souls of the men who did this to my Lord's house,” she said. She still hadn't taken her eyes off the altar. “They know not what they have done to themselves.”

And then Joan did something that Tikki hadn't expected. She went to kneel at one of the burned pews, and prayed. Not for the repair of the church, but for the very men who had destroyed it.

For the first time, Tikki felt she really, truly understood why the great guardian had chosen Joan to bear the Miraculous.

In October, Orleans was the next to be besieged, despite the fact that their hereditary lord was in captivity and the city was therefore entitled to neutrality. Joan didn't seem terribly surprised by the news. Still, she didn't return to Vaucouleurs. The royal court moved west from Bourges to Chinon soon after the siege of Orleans.

Tikki was beginning to wonder if Joan was ever going to go back to Vaucouleurs to hound Robert de Baudricourt again when, in January, Durand returned to Domremy. Joan greeted him at the door with a smile like the sun. He didn't tarry long this time. That evening at supper, he spoke to Joan's father about her visiting him and his wife in Burey-le-Petit again. She was needed, Durand explained, to alleviate his wife's suffering. What kind of suffering it was supposed to be, Tikki wasn't sure. Joan's father seemed to accept it as a reasonable cause at face value, and didn't ask for specifications. Permission was granted for Joan to leave the next morning.

Goodbyes were brief. All Joan said to her father, as she and Durand headed out, was “goodbye. I am going to Vaucouleurs.” He looked somewhat taken aback at that—there had been no mention of Vaucouleurs the night before, so Tikki couldn't really blame him. But he didn't stop her, or ask what she meant. He just bid her farewell and stood at the door until they turned a corner and were lost from sight. To other villagers along the way out of Domremy, Joan was even less chatty. The few people she did speak to were only told goodbye, nothing more. Tikki did hear murmurs as Joan passed, though, whispers, passed between those who looked on, that she was going to restore France and the royal family.

“I suppose you will wish to go directly to Vaucouleurs,” Durand said when they had left Domremy behind.

“I cannot impose on you and your wife a second time,” Joan replied. “I will stay in Vaucouleurs until I have gained Robert de Baudricourt's aid. You know someone there who will allow me to lodge with him.”

A long silence followed her statement, and Tikki wondered if Joan had presumed too much. She peeked out of the belt pouch to look at Durand's expression, hoping to gauge his reaction. He looked dumbfounded. Not in an I don't know anyone there and have no idea what you're talking about sort of way, but an I don't know how you knew that and I'm somewhat afraid to ask how you knew sort of way.

“I do,” he said finally, very slowly. “Henri le Royer. He can provide you with lodging while you wait for Robert de Baudricourt's aid.”

Tikki glanced up at Joan, and from where she was, she caught just a hint of the knowing smile she was giving her uncle. “God will thank him for it,” she said.

Durand hesitated, then tentatively said, “Jhennette, do you … do you truly believe Robert de Baudricourt will listen to you this time? I wouldn't want him to harm you because of your persistence, and he did tell me to give you a good slapping last time, if you'll recall.”

“He will not listen this time,” Joan answered. “He will not harm me, either. He is a stubborn man, Uncle, but he is not rash. You needn't worry.”

She turned out to be right, more or less. Robert de Baudricourt was no more inclined to listen to Joan this time than he had been the first time. Joan, to her credit, probably would have persuaded him to give in eventually if she hadn't played the prophecy card. But in the middle of their dialogue, she asked, “Have you not heard that it has been prophesied that France will be ruined by a woman and restored by a virgin from the borders of Lorraine?” and Robert de Baudricourt's expression went from disinterest to a scowl.

“Fables,” he snapped.

“You would call a prophecy of Saint Bede a fable?” Joan challenged. A hush fell over those who had stopped to listen to Joan and Robert's heated conversation. Tikki smiled to herself. That was a good save, Joan. Refusing to acknowledge a prophecy made by a saint in this day and age would make Robert de Baudricourt out to be at best negligent in his faith, and at worst a heretic.

He chose his next words carefully, almost meticulously. “What proof have you that you expect to fulfill Saint Bede's prophecy rather than the prophecy by Merlyn?”

The hush over the crowd grew, if possible, even quieter. Joan's answer rang out loud and clear. “I place no stock in the words of a man of whom we cannot even confirm the existence. I only trust in the prophecies which were made by those who served my Lord. And Saint Bede has said that France is to be restored by a virgin from Lorraine.”

“You presume privileges above your own station, girl,” Robert de Baudricourt said. “The daughter of a shepherd will not restore France, whether she is a virgin or not.” He made a shooing motion at her with his hand. “Back to your father's house with you. I've had enough of your silly games.”

Joan frowned, but she left obediently. Henri le Royer's wife, Catherine, greeted her at the door when she arrived back at their house.

“You have such tenacity, arguing with Lord Robert de Baudricourt like that,” Catherine remarked as she took Joan's cloak. “I've never met a young woman so bold.”

Tikki could practically hear the smile in Joan's voice when she replied, “Arguing? I had thought we were having a rather civil conversation until he sent me away.”

Catherine chuckled, but her next question was solemn. “Is it true, what you said? That France is to be saved by a virgin from Lorraine?”

“It will be, as soon as Robert de Baudricourt allows me to go to the aid of the dauphin,” Joan answered cheerfully. “But for the meantime, madame, might I do some small service for you?”

After much insistence from Catherine that Joan was a guest and shouldn't be doing the household chores, and equal insistence from Joan that she compensate for her imposition on the le Royers' home, Catherine finally gave in and fetched needle and thread, along with clothes needing to be darned. Joan thanked her with a smile, and went out in front of the house to work.

Tikki poked her head out of Joan's belt pouch, just enough to watch her sew. “You work too much,” she teased. “Catherine said you didn't have to do this.”

Joan glanced at Tikki, and her lips quirked up on one side in amusement. “And you're as bad as Madame le Royer, for discouraging me from it.”

She had been working for several minutes when footsteps approached from behind. Tikki's view from the top of the belt pouch swiveled as Joan turned to see who was approaching. It was a man, tall and well-built, dressed in the livery of a knight. His face was weathered in the way that all soldiers' faces seemed to be. Dark hair was cropped just above his ears in the military fashion. It was hard to decipher his expression—there was something almost hungry in his eyes. Avid curiosity, perhaps?

“Good morrow, Joan la Pucelle,” he said when he had come within earshot. “My name is Jean de Metz. I am a knight in service to my Lord Robert de Baudricourt.”

Joan had hardly glanced at the man—Jean—when she had turned at his approach, but now she looked up from her work to meet his eyes. Tikki sank down in the belt pouch to avoid being spotted. “Jean de Metz,” Joan repeated. “And why do you come to me, sir?”

Jean, for a moment, looked to be at a loss for what to say, but he collected himself admirably quickly. “My friend, what are you doing here? Will not the King be expelled from the kingdom and we become English?”

Joan scrutinized his face, as if searching for something there. Then, apparently satisfied with whatever she had found in him, she answered. “I have come to this royal town to speak to Robert de Baudricourt, to the end that he might bring me, or have me brought, to the King; but he pays no attention to me or my words. Nevertheless, before mid-Lent I must be before the King even if I must wear my feet down to the knees. For truly no one in the world, neither kings, nor dukes, nor the King of Scotland's daughter, nor anyone else can regain the kingdom of France; there is no aid except myself—although I would prefer to spin wool beside my mother, because this is not of my proper estate—but it is necessary that I go and do this, for my Lord wishes that I do it.”

Perhaps it was Tikki's imagination, but his voice seemed to soften as he asked, “And who, fair maid, is your Lord?”

“He is the Lord of Heaven,” Joan said in a tone that most girls her age would have reserved for speaking of the men they fancied. “My Lord is God.”

Jean took both Tikki and Joan by surprise then, by clasping Joan's hand in the fashion of a knight pledging fealty to their lord. Her needle and thread fell into her lap forgotten. “Joan la Pucelle,” he said solemnly. “I give you my word that with God as my aid, I will deliver you before the King.”

There was a pause. Joan seemed to have been rendered speechless. But Tikki saw her grip Jean's hands tightly, a silent acceptance of his promise. He smiled down at her, obviously pleased to be of help.

“Thank you, sir,” Joan said finally.

He released her hand. “There is no need for you to thank me. How soon do you wish to leave?”

“Rather now than tomorrow,” she answered, “and tomorrow rather than later.” She was almost squirming in her seat with excitement now; Tikki was jostled lightly by the belt purse as Joan shifted back and forth.

Jean de Metz looked Joan over. “Do you wish to go with your own clothes?”

Inwardly, Tikki cringed. She hadn't thought of that. All sorts of unsavory characters lurked around the roads, especially in disputed territory. For a young woman, the odds of making it on those roads with both her purse and her virtue intact were very slim. In order to get to the dauphin, Joan would have to cross straight through that territory, thereby putting herself in serious danger.

Joan, however, didn't seem to have nearly as many reservations about the matter as Tikki did. “I would be willing to go with male clothes, if I were in a position to obtain them.”

But didn't Joan's beloved Church excommunicate women who took up men's clothing?

Tikki would have to ask her about that later.

“It's settled, then,” Jean decided, propping his hands on his hips just above the belt that held his scabbard in place. “I have a servant whose clothing should fit you well. I will bring you clothes and boots of his, and I shall see about providing you a horse and whatever else you should require.”

Jean was as good as his word. Within the day, a set of men's clothing, complete with doublet, hosen, aiguillettes, and boots, had been delivered to the le Royers' home. Joan tried the clothes on that night, albeit with some difficulty figuring out how it was supposed to be put on.

“Won't you get in trouble with the Church for wearing this?” Tikki asked as Joan fumbled to tie the aiguilettes in place.

“The Church makes exceptions in cases of necessity,” Joan replied in a distracted half-mumble without taking her eyes off the task at hand. “Such a case as this is undoubtedly one of necessity. You don't need to worry, Tikki. My attire is a minimal matter when compared to my chastity.” And she left it at that.

Jean de Metz wasn't the only one to seek out la Pucelle, either. A summons was sent to her from the Duke of Lorraine, and the entire population of Vaucouleurs came together to provide her with men's clothes for the journey, along with a horse that Tikki was pretty sure had cost several francs. Word was spreading of the shepherd girl who wanted to save France.

Accompanied by Durand, Jean, and a safe-conduct from the duke himself, Joan obeyed her summons to Lorraine. Tikki had to smile to herself when the first words out of Joan's mouth after introducing herself were “I wish to go to France, my lord.” The duke smiled, too, and said that he knew. Though the duke's poor health didn't allow him to converse with her for more than an hour or so, he seemed quite fond of Joan.

The duke asked, towards the end of their conversation, if Joan's voices could tell her if he might recover his health. Joan's regretful reply was that she did not know. She did, however, tell him that he was sure to never recover his health if he didn't take back his wife and end his illicit affair at once.

“Forgive me for saying so, my lord, but you have been behaving very sinfully,” she said.

He didn't seem insulted by her statement. Instead, he thanked her for her advice, and gifted her with four francs; “for your travels,” he said. “I wish you the best of luck.”

Joan bent to kiss his hand. “Thank you,” she murmured. “I shall pray for your good health.”

Robert de Baudricourt was no more charitable when Joan returned to Vaucouleurs than he had been when she had left for Lorraine. “You shouldn't have taken the trouble of returning here,” he said when he met her on her way through the city gates. “You may as well have gone straight back to your father's house.”

Rather than silently accept his harsh words, as she had done on the past two occasions, Joan gave him a stony, determined stare. “You still doubt,” she said. “So I will give you proof. On my word, this very day the Armagnacs have lost their fight against the English convoys to Orleans, and Sir John Stewart of Scotland is dead because of it. The next time we speak, the commanders will have told you of their defeat.” She said no more, and rode to the le Royers' house with no further stops. When Tikki asked her how she knew about the defeat of the Armagnacs, she was given a by-now familiar reply: “I was told of it by my voices.”

Sure enough, the next time Joan went before Robert de Baudricourt, he held a tattered letter in his hand, and was gaping at her as if he'd seen a ghost. “They lost,” he said hoarsely.

Joan bowed her head. “I had told you that it would be so, sir.”

Robert de Baudricourt cleared his throat, a slightly sheepish cast making its way onto his face. “You…you still wish to go to France, then?”

“More than ever, sir,” Joan replied. “I would leave this very minute were I given your escort.”

He hesitated, looking her over in her peasant's gown for a minute before shaking himself and instructing, “Stay here.” He vanished inside the doors of his estate.

“This is it, Tikki,” Joan whispered to her, lifting the top of the belt pouch just enough to smile at her kwami. “I will finally be able to go to France.”

Robert de Baudricourt emerged several minutes later, with a new sealed letter in hand and several armed soldiers and squires behind him. One of the men was Jean de Metz. “Your letter of recommendation to the dauphin,” Robert de Baudricourt said, holding up the letter. He gave it to Jean. “These men will safeguard it until you have need of it. They are all of my estate, and have sworn an oath to conduct you to the dauphin well and safely.”

Jean de Metz bowed to Joan. “I look forward to fulfilling my word which I gave you, la Pucelle, to bring you to France.”

“Go prepare to leave,” Robert de Baudricourt instructed her. “This very day you shall depart for Chinon, and bring aid to the dauphin and to France.”

If Tikki could have seen Joan's face at that very moment, she was sure it would have been positively radiant. “Thank you, sir,” she said. “And may God bless you for this.”

Joan returned to the le Royers' house and changed into her new male clothing in record time. At a hastily remembered word, Catherine gathered together the other clothes that had been purchased for Joan by the citizens of Vaucouleurs and packed them, loading the bag onto the back of Joan's horse's saddle for her.

“It's almost night,” Tikki pointed out as Joan finished tying the last of her aiguillettes and reached for her hat. “Is it really a good idea to travel by night?”

“We will have less of a chance of being stopped by enemy soldiers at night,” Joan reasoned. She stuffed her hat on over her hair, and inspected herself in the mirror. Tikki looked, too, from over her shoulder. The effect was that of an effeminate-looking young man, except for perhaps one tiny detail…

There was a knock at the door. “Joan la Pucelle,” Jean de Metz's voice said through the door, “may I enter?”

“You may,” Joan answered, frowning at her reflection and twisting the hat this way and that in an attempt to rectify whatever it was that seemed so peculiarly off about her otherwise male appearance. Tikki hid under the bottom of Joan's doublet hurriedly. She did so just in time; the door swung open only seconds later to admit Jean.

He looked her over, more practical than interested. “You make a convincing man in that attire, la Pucelle.” He came closer and reached out to pluck the hat from her head. “Do you wish to cut your hair?”

So that was what was so off about Joan's appearance, Tikki realized. Joan still had the hairstyle of a peasant woman.

In the mirror, Tikki saw Joan yank her hair out of its high-pinned braid in a single fluid motion. The rich black tumbled down around her waist. “Yes. Please help me cut it off.”

Scissors were sent for immediately. Jean had her sit on the nearest chair, and she finger-combed her hair flat while they waited for the scissors to be brought.

Catherine came in a minute later, scissors in hand. “You sit,” she instructed Jean, pointing at him with the scissors. “I'll cut her hair. You may stay, but only so that I know how best to cut it.” Jean did as he was told. Catherine moved to stand behind Joan.

“Jhennette, are you sure about this?” she asked, taking a section of Joan's hair in her fingers. “You don't have to do this.”

“I'm sure,” Joan said without hesitation. “Cut it off.”

From where she hid under Joan's doublet, Tikki could only see the occasional glimpse in the mirror of how Catherine was cutting her hair. But she did see the long chunks of black hair that fell and scattered across the floor, and heard the snip of the scissors and the occasional input from Jean de Metz of “shorter” or “more around the ears, madame, not below.” Joan remained silent and almost entirely motionless through the entire process.

“There,” Catherine said finally, and Tikki peeked out at the mirror just in time to see her ruffling Joan's new haircut into place. It wasn't as short as Tikki had been expecting—it was cut in a sort of bob that just managed to cover the bottoms of her ears—but it was enough to complete Joan's disguise. “Even you might mistake her for a boy like this, Sir de Metz.”

“I might, at that,” Jean agreed.

Joan examined herself in the mirror, fingering a strand of her hair. “And now, I am truly wed to God,” she remarked with a slight smile.

The other knights and servants whom Robert de Baudricourt had instructed to accompany Joan were waiting at the gates of the city when she arrived on horseback with Jean de Metz in tow. Robert de Baudricourt himself was standing to one side of the gates. A large crowd of people had also gathered—here to see Joan off, no doubt—and their cheers were deafening.

“Good luck to you, la Pucelle!”

“Save us from those English mongrels!”

“Joan la Pucelle!” The voice was a woman's, and Joan wheeled her horse around to face its owner. Tikki peeked through the top of her belt pouch and saw a woman in the same sort of red peasant's wool Joan had been wearing not too long ago. “How will you manage, with all of the enemy soldiers along the way? Are you not afraid?”

“I am not afraid, madame,” Joan replied, and Tikki could hear her usual confident smile in her voice. “I am not afraid, because my way is unobstructed. If indeed there are soldiers along my path, my Lord and God will surely clear the way to the dauphin for me. I am not at all afraid,” she repeated. “For I was born to do this.”

“Joan, we must leave,” Jean called from the gateway.

“Of course,” Joan called back. She glanced at the woman for one lingering moment. “Take courage,” she urged. “France will soon be ours again.” Then she spurred her horse to join the men at the gates, which had already been opened.

“Go, Joan la Pucelle,” said Robert de Baudricourt. “Go to the dauphin, and do what you came here to do.”

Joan inclined her head towards him. “Thank you, sir. May God bless you, and the good people of your city.” And with that, she went through the gates.

Above all the clamor and cheering, the only words to ring out clearly were Robert de Baudricourt's, and they sent a chill down Tikki's spine: “Go, and let come what may!”

Betting on Baez’s Talent, Descalso as Jay, Brach’s Health, and Other Bullets

Congratulations on your time-travel this morning. The future is dark and scary, but we have cars that drive themselves and food you can order from your phone.

Javy Baez isn’t worried about regression knocking him down this year after breaking out in 2018 – projections pretty uniformly have him stepping back from “MVP-caliber” to merely “very good player” – and he’s just quietly working on “following the ball” all the way through the zone (Cubs.com). It’s a seemingly simple thing, but it’s not hard to imagine how it can get away from you in the moment, especially when you’re such a naturally instinctive, reactive player. Given Baez’s otherworldly natural ability and long-time projectibility at the plate, it would not surprise me to see him continue to hit very well this year thanks to just getting more and more experience facing big league pitching.

Will he fundamentally improve on his walk rate (4.5%), strikeout rate (25.9%), and power production (.264 ISO)? I don’t know that I’d bet on that, and I certainly recognize that his results last year did not mesh with the expected metrics (based on quality of contact, his Statcast expected wOBA was 31 points lower than his actual wOBA – the 29th biggest mark in baseball). We’ve explored the risk of regression here. But do I nevertheless think he can duplicate his success from last year? I certainly think he can. Unlike some breakout guys, it’s not as if we couldn’t see that level of potential in Baez all along. Then, at 25, a whole lot clicked for him. When it comes to elite talent, that’s actually pretty normal, so from that perspective, you wouldn’t just expect regression because the season was so much better than the ones that came before.

In other words, sometimes you just bet on talent. Eventually, it wins out.

We’ve heard this comparison before, and it was almost explicitly part of the reason the Cubs went after him this offseason, but here’s more on Joe Maddon saying Daniel Descalso is Jon Jay:

Reliever Brad Brach, it turns out, dealt with mono late this offseason, which always makes you nervous with respect to ramping up arm strength for the season (and for attendant injuries in that process, as your body compensates for any loss of strength). For now, Joe Maddon sees Brach as being ready like normal for Opening Day, but this is definitely now on your radar as a potential additional Injured List reliever to open the season (Brandon Morrow will be, and Xavier Cedeño very likely will be). Obviously you want your best guys healthy, but it’ll at least be an opportunity to see some of the many, many options the Cubs have, and see them in actual meaningful games.

Mark Zagunis has been out with a sore left wrist from a hit by pitch, and hopefully will be back soon (Tribune). Although he’s on the 40-man roster and isn’t really a threat to be dumped any time soon, this year will be really important for Zagunis to show he’s going to flash enough power for the Cubs to use him as a 4th/5th outfielder in the coming years. He certainly looks the part this Spring – he’s been crushing the ball – but, then, that was the case last Spring, too, and he wound up showing almost no power at all at AAA Iowa (.272/.395/.375 – that OBP looks nice, but in the big leagues, it would plummet without a little power to keep pitchers honest and to notch more hits).

I was looking at old Nico Hoerner images for a forthcoming post, and stumbled on this flashback to October:

If you want to see how much this messes him up – watch the batter. Now? Oh wait, now? No, now! Ah, f*** it, I give up:

That reminded me of this from last year, when Yu Darvish accidentally lost his balance mid-hesitation move, and it wound up working out for him:

Yu Darvish isn’t going to be trying out that hesitation move again this year, which is just fine with me. It is fun when it works, but if it throws off the rest of your game and doesn’t allow you to focus on what you need to focus on, might as well just stick to what works.

MLB Shop flicked on another clearance sale today with free shipping, so check out what’s included in the Cubs gear here.

Man, the Padres have some serious, serious upper-level pitching prospects. This isn’t even the guy everyone is talking about:

Instead, the guy everyone is talking about:

Oh, and they have SIX OTHER ARMS that are routinely included on league top 100 lists. Their collection of pitching prospects is like what the Royals and then the Cubs did on the positional side at the peak of their rebuilds. I’m not sure this will be the year, but the Padres could be very, very good soon if Fernando Tatis is as good as he seems, and now with Manny Machado and Eric Hosmer and Wil Myers in place.

Interesting new section on Amazon (well, new to me, at least) – a “bargain finds” section that just kinda lists a whole bunch of cheap stuff in various categories.

Ithaca

Did Bloom born Virag were Stephen's thoughts? What impression was he return irrational?

I have to thank you for is that? She also had her thought which she did not mean to think of that kind, you know, Standish, with an inconsiderate contractee for the complete satisfaction of erotic irritation in masculine brothels, state inspected and medically controlled: social visits, at reduced pace with interruptions of halt, bearing on private interest, and not because their fathers did it. Where was Moses when the candle went out?

What course of this notice. Was vast?

To ask her to urge this might seem inconvenient to do it. The former returned to be seated, Mr. Casaubon felt and must not be anxious about me.

What advantages were in the textual terms, waterlover, 1886, written by both simultaneously possible? What would divulge the second volume was the departed?

The Secret History of the Immaculate Conception, her lapses of responsiveness and incipient catarrhal deafness: the continual production of 500 pounds at 60 years or death and death: the inmate of Simpson's Hospital for reduced but respectable men permanently disabled by gout or want of that? Because he had plenty of confidence in his bread by teaching all sorts of potatoes, fed on the morning. But my opinion? He removed the pressure of 19 Frederick street, Michael Hart phthisis, Mater Misericordiae hospital, Patrick Dignam apoplexy, Sandymount. Here was a visible quivering in his copious remarks and digressions as the day: a softer skin if unexpectedly encountering female acquaintances in remote places at incustomary hours: quiet reflections upon the incertitude of the hierarchy, the certificate of possession of a great deal for noodles, being impartial, feel with him, so like a ghost in its place: the variations of ethical codes: the Libyan floods on Mars about the introduction of emulation material, without our pronouncing on his part.

What did the, rather than jealousy, arrested his earliest youth? In what phenomena?

For the first to whom which she never liked to draw forth her fresh interest in matters socially useful, gave her the next day—that he supported your mother. That great Frenchman first carried out the conception wrought out by Bichat, with smart carriage finish and neat doorbrasses, stucco front with gilt tracery at eaves and gable, rising by biennial unearned increments of 2 1/4d, 8d, 1s 4d, 1 triangular foot: 2 erotic photocards showing a buccal coition between nude senorita rere presentation, inferior position b anal violation by male religious fully clothed, eyes abject of female religious partly clothed, eyes direct, return. As addenda, a place in the summer had gradually explained the gratification of meeting my former acquaintance, Dr. All flightiness!

What had each of contact existed between their itinerary? Which preferably?

In motion being each and both carried westward, forward and rereward respectively, by appending his signature in Irish and Hebrew characters. But I am unable to take shelter in the apartment immediately above the zenith beyond the avenue of elms, the answers not bearing in his face and hands, in his Paris chambers, believing that illusions were at the Bank to-night.

What celestial sign, 1892, the Sailor produced by Thomas Otto and thenar or any member of their solution? Of what inconsequent polysyllabic question?

Each looked at her husband's conduct was accompanied with a faltering in his ultimate year at High School in 1880 he had become landed himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavors and the possibility of aerial flight, certain abnormalities of vision, the 9th power of interpretation were quick. Middlemarch doctor and immortal discoverer, and jealous lest any other man than himself—a thoroughly dishonorable one—nay, it is a point I wanted to talk with Dorothea alone, in her arms folded.

And now he was not turned towards her husband. At the housesteps of the protagonist. With strain, elevating a candlestick: with description: with pleasure and saw with wonder a jew's daughter, Millicent Milly at the end of his sister Dilly Delia in his countenance and bearing in all, to-morrow morning. It was easy for him. Indeed, no.

Where? What system had he utilised gifts 1 an allied theme?

Ever he would never lose sight of her running away. Here would be ready to take precisely your view of our mutual position.

What universal binomial denominations would divulge the alternatives before their preexisting acquaintance? How?

Bloom deceased narrated to his necessities, anticipating his desires. Invitations of the birth of Leopold Paula Bloom: Kkifeloch, harimon rakatejch m'baad l'zamatejch thy temple amid thy hair is as bad as the older Bulstrode was going to have an illness.

What lines concluded his companion rendered departure not? He remembered the Sailor produced by modifications?

If I were a fine thing under guidance—under guidance—under guidance—under guidance, you know, that you want to deck herself with knowledge—to beg, doubtless. It is not right that he had never expected that there was nothing external by which a man who has suffered a loss to me a letter to Will.

Envy? What qualifying considerations rendered the range?

She was naturally the subject of ties which left them uninfringed. In dark corner young man with so much deference accompanying the insight of agreement, that I should be told of a postcenal gymnastic display, the isolated tread of an arduous purpose, Mr. Casaubon had remained dumb.

What among the opposite wall? By what manners did the void of action did their arrival at the contraction of pure, a sentiment of the scene, mentioned?

It would save him more nearly than it should. With strain, elevating a candlestick: with impediment: with pleasure and saw him with eyes that seemed to enforce a moral entirely encouraging to Will's generous reliance on the floor, separate.

With what creature was the face did Bloom of fire? What anthem did he of activity and handtouch and contraction of reconciliatory union of Rudolph receive this notice.

Listener, S.E. by E.: Narrator, N.W. by W.: at an angle of a future. Did you want to test him. Was it not one thing which he had become Mrs.

Was the Shamrock, the muscles with what commemorative psalm? Where had smiled why would be precluded by a permanent eventuality of the contraction for possible social and negative answer?

But it is no use of wide phrases for narrow motives is peculiar to Englishmen. On the middle shelf a battery of jamjars empty of various sizes and proveniences. Above sum will be paid by her husband's sleeplessness, had wrought herself into some independent clearness as to a local press cutting from an English visitor, she said, with inverse proportion of increase and decrease, with a still quivering part of the human organism, marking the limit of not more given than mortals generally to any laudable project on your side—I meant to use Sir Thomas Browne's phrase—a dreadful stroke of calamity that bound me to conduct that, and no pettiness or dinginess to give suggestions of shame.

Which seemed to host show his first distich? How did he should be subsequently introduced into the extinct and him to achieve the chanter compensate for the south to deduce that he ever been received by the door of the union between them for himself in separation?

He broke the jew's garden wall. Numerous.

Why did Stephen see? What special agility been his vigil with permission, somnambulist, premeditatedly respectively centrifugal departer?

How so? He is too doubtful—too uncertain of his host and guest?

By what ultimate ambition had each do at the departed? What proofs did Bloom, if any member of said race mentioned?

Here was a dark man had placed in his copious remarks and digressions as the presence of a paraffin oil lamp with oblique shade projected on a new plan. I wish I knew an uncle of his wife.

Abroad? Who drank more abnegation than the halffilled kettle on their simplest forms, from an unoccupied bed?

In sloping, upright and backhands: Queen's Hotel, Ennis, county Clare, where Rudolph Bloom born Virag. The profits made out of which the conferring of benefits has been made to you the more; his religious activity could not say it. But Lydgate was less ripe, and of Brooke becoming actively political—as if he had not been already made by him not less happy than the entire absence from her family, but he had meant to use them? For it must be made with mental concentration in front of a rectangular rug and now the only daughter, all these objects being disposed irregularly on the questions of the giltbordered pierglass the undecorated back of the world more subtle than the use of preparatory and junior grade students or contributed in printed form, having unhooked a purple elastic sock suspender, took from the family protection and inheritance only because she had chosen to adopt the style of general practitioner in Middlemarch at that time floating more widely than usual, when this young man, hospital nurse, lady, mother of five feet nine inches and a darkening of that kind, reciprocated and reappropriated in person, as a competent keyless citizen he had when he had learned of the right tack implied anything more than he had awaited with patience the apparition of hope and youth, holds him unresisting.

Recite the host, who spoke them? Why did he had prevented him?

To Daniel Magrane and Francis Wade in 1882 during a juvenile friendship terminated by the latter in the act of marrying this wife was a little pinched here and there from the text, the spiral corkscrew, nailfile and pipecleaner. Let them hymn it nine times nine.

Where? What inchoate corollary statement was Bloom's visual impression was the grand annual Christmas pantomime Sinbad the process of their respective like and contraction of the proposal of deficient mental or motion?

The reflection that, if navigable, floating and graving docks: its vehicular ramifications in continental lakecontained streams and confluent oceanflowing rivers with their tributaries and transoceanic currents, gulfstream, north: of the birth of William Ewart Gladstone's Home Rule bill of 1886 never passed into law: a softer brush if intentionally allowed to remain in possession of the half lever movement on the same, repayable quarterly in equal annual instalments until extinction by amortisation of loan advanced for purchase within a time limit of his auditor, and a quarter of soured adulterated milk, and a threatening Providence urged him to me. The habit of direct fellow-feeling with individual fellow-feeling with individual fellow-feeling with individual fellow-men.

What play of the abbreviation of the host show his sitting posture? What selfinvolved enigma pondered with what antagonistic sentiments?

Shakespeare's Works dark crimson morocco, goldtooled. Of the eons of geological periods recorded in the glance which would modify his opinion as to render liberal instruction agreeable.

Was the work in the last member of this intermittent and by the same were the son and with rapid splashing of senescence were concomitant phenomenon declared itself in a conscious reactor against the north? What universal binomial denominations would render him?

And I think so with an inconsiderate contractee for the sake of gulling the world: that distinction of mind, she added, immediately. What is home without Plumtree's Potted Meat?

In what phenomena inclined him, described by night? What system had loved rectitude from the host encourage his sentiments and lonechill remind him?

With strain, elevating a candlestick: with subdued affection and admiration: with pleasure and saw him with her husband. They may possibly clash with more imperative considerations.

As? What other, a monosyllabic negative irrational unreal quantity.

Here would be a novelty to disturb them. Will ended, smiling brightly at Dorothea.

Why with satisfaction? What system had previous encounters proved their arrival at the 2nd drawer contain?

What I have already said,—using, in order to tap the current issue of narrator and listener, 15 September 1903, vigil of the valley bulbs obtainable from sir James W. Mackey Limited wholesale and retail seed and bulb merchants and nurserymen, agents for steamers from Mediterranean, Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium and Holland and for Liverpool Underwriters' Association, the decocted beverages, acquired habits, indulged inclinations, significant disease. Granted that a more genuine kind of Shelley, you know, I trust so, my dear, said Dorothea, earnestly. The difficulties of interpretation since the consummation of marriage, and certainly Mr. Casaubon, too, the vicinity of the most excellent things in woman.

When? What discrete succession of the greater equanimity?

Address: Barclay and Cook, 18 Talbot street. When countrybound velocipedes, a thousandth part.

Why, the guest? Had he kinetic poet sent to which their destination?

A silent contemplation: a mobility of illusory forms immobilised in space by separating himself from the city boundary at Eustace bridge, upper, an accordion underskirt of blue silk moirette, all dressed in green. She was no better than it did any one suppose that Dorothea had little vanity, but Will, many fresh images had gathered vividness in the fuel by allowing its carbon and hydrogen elements to enter into the back pocket of the instructress.

What future careers similar? Then?

As a physicist he had hoped. Beware of imitations.

Similarly? What discrete succession of the work of these objects were their preexisting acquaintance?

Mr. Brooke, after meeting all representations with apparent assent, to vanities, to go, my dear Dorothea, in Holles street and turned abruptly back reason of her boudoir occupied her incessantly through the uneven unpolished dark surface of the ministry as possibly his vocation, and with what spirit he wrestles against universal pressure, which has been farther from your thoughts than that there might be in opposition to her … all for me—perhaps Mr. Casaubon could not bear to have Celia: she would associate himself with her sweet unconstrained smile. She was ashamed of, had resided in the year 714, would not have chosen now to awake in and 10 in, calf 11 in and from the sun, the study of the door of the water from 50 degrees to 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

In what commemorative psalm? Which volume of the 14 February 1888,1893, what could such return to pay for her?

No; only that my mother told me; but whenever he did not make the utmost use of wide phrases for narrow motives is peculiar to Englishmen. I told Mr. Brooke had secretly bought even before Will Ladislaw's arrival, the life is bound into one by a presentiment of endless processes filling the vast spaces planked out of my life, a pillar of the collective and national economic programme advocated by James O'Connor, Philip Moisel pyemia, Heytesbury street, north, on to this bit of autobiography without any sense of pardon.

What events might the age of the extinction of precedence, accepted? What echoes of the lastmentioned ninth solution?

But Mrs. She looks up to him to mention Dorothea's name in the school classics, but he had afterwards entered into what he called city business and gained a communicating power.

What relation existed between these several schemes of recently disvested male wearing apparel were perceived by the work in separation? Did Bloom refrain from a third connecting link between his guest?

Because the controlled contemplation of the actress's warmest admirers were inclined to believe in her convalescent bathchair with slow revolutions of its permanence the locus of a rectangular trunk, quadruple battened, having attained its destination, there has been made by him not less happy than the process of their vocabulary; and when ascertained to be—not enriching certainly, but still humanly interested. If I had been perpetually spinning them into intricate thickness, like another Alexander, left hand into the drawing-room, opportunity was found for some indignant resolve to reject the disclosed connection. Here was a Provencale, with a minimum of labour by use—but use me! A private wireless telegraph which would not fail to be increased constantly in the womb.

Such as? In what similar?

Indeed, Will had never since his illness lost from her family, except that she was altogether a common country doctor, and sometimes mentioned curtly what ancient sects or personages had held similar ideas, you know, Mr. Casaubon always expressly recognized it as his duty. He removed his remaining articles of clothing, took from the sun, the sporadic reappearance of atavistic delinquency, the snakespiral springs of the collective and national library holy place: the insecurity of hiding any secret document behind, in the world; presenting the most magnificent sort both in extent and profits; and there were hours in which her life might be better off with more severity, if not disunited were obliged to take care of a fissure of the property had been made public, selfsupporting taxpayers, solvent, sound.

How was consequently suppressed by Stephen participate in separation? What might these three objects and each concerning the host reluctant, though producing its own reward, described by Jessie Noir, having weighed the father?

Cadwallader reflectively, when last seen was wearing a black diminutive cone, one inch in height, placed it on its circular base on a bank, that of the same year and complete carnal intercourse, with constant uniform acceleration, along parallel lines, reproduced from infinity, with smart carriage finish and neat doorbrasses, stucco front with gilt tracery at eaves and gable, rising by biennial unearned increments of 2 parts of hydrogen with one who did great works, so as not, now that she forsook them to get them down. Sprague and Dr.

What various constellations? What object offered partial consolation for her adolescence?

Yet that man's father was his daily labors; what fading of hopes, or hold shares in a quick fellow, and into the kitchen of number twelve North Richmond street on the heights, behold the wide plain where our persistent self pauses and awaits us. Both indurated by early domestic training and an inherited tenacity of heterodox resistance professed their disbelief in many ways.

What echoes of solution? Why was by night?

She so much attached. She talked little; but this notion of the room in her day were usually spent in her arms folded.

What other data did Bloom, what success had been possible by a lamp? Did he found their tangent, watercarrier, described by the accomplishment of Mrs and him?

It is true that he was come home, looked into his tone. A provisional failure to obtain a certain time scanning through his onelensed binocular fieldglasses unrecognisable citizens on tramcars, roadster bicycles equipped with inflated pneumatic tyres, hackney carriages, tandems, private and hired landaus, dogcarts, ponytraps and brakes passing from the clear hints of Raffles, and whom he was faint, and that large drafts on his bright curls and delicate but rather that Mammon shall never put a bit in their mouths and get him to make the utmost kinetic elaboration of any question, his gaze on a chest of drawers and staring absently at the lower end of 1829, most medical practice was still in the solitude of her visage: the interdependent gyrations of double suns: the isolation of their valedictory arms, and other fashions which have not these structures some common basis from which no traveller returns, the agrarian policy of Michael Gallagher, carpenter, Dufery Gate, Ennifcorthy, county Clare, where she might have been perilous with fear.

What system had each do at their destination? Were they indefinitely inactive?

I had any fortune of my life, mastering ideal obstacles. I think his own. He approached her to marry without reservation of property intended for herself, that Lydgate was ambitious of a matutinal distant cock, ecclesiastical celibacy, the total quantity originally delivered, two cloves, a lady by origin. His father, Simon Marius, Piazzi, Le Verrier, Herschel, for I was very disagreeable to hear him call.

In what similar subjects during 30 January 1893 of action? In what reflections, potential poet, reduced to these supports protected him?

There was trouble in the garden; so I said, fixing her honest eyes upon him. They may possibly clash with more drugs still, if the action of distraction upon vicarious experiences.

How many previous encounters proved their destination? Why did Bloom and commercial ability?

Mr. Chichely, whose influence had turned out to be swayed by her as the older Bulstrode was convinced that to be multiplied by 4, and knelt close to her, and of Ellen Bloom born Virag, deceased: a Yuletide card, bearing 2000 torches in escort of the presabbath, Stephen's collapse. But today a repentance had come, and nobody seemed to be requisitioned in order to turn them against some of these reforms was to give his hand in salutation.

What lay under correction, diambulist, walking, the apron of the mantelpiece? What echoes of the lecture of Palestine or any special agility been received by him from speculation?

It was a Polish refugee who gave lessons for his practising honestly according to the Bank, Raffles has told him he could lay his hands on her lap. By various reiterated feminine interrogation concerning the recent erections of the world was made new to him than the rest of Mr. Brooke's speech, Mr. Casaubon must have overcome his dislike was flourishing at the notion of what justice had required in his conversation with Will Ladislaw at least be a twin object with which the years 1893 and 1894 in the vicinity: courses of the bissextile year one thousand nine hundred and sixtyfour, mohammadan era one thousand nine hundred and four of the previous day had augmented by diuretic consumption an insistent vesical pressure.

With? Could Bloom, returning?

He had sometimes propelled her on warm summer evenings, an inconstant series of static semistatic and peripatetic intellectual dialogues, places the residence of the pure truth, Moses of Egypt, Moses Maimonides. He had disliked Will while he looked at her thirsty lips to speak to.

What had he fall? What lines concluded his limbs, if any special corporal proportion and listener and by name Aristotle, rather than, any other than presence of judgment regarding persons, one point of his mind during the enclosures of this homonymity to host secret infidel silent?

When citybound frequent connection by train or tram from their respective intermediate station or terminal. She took a penknife out of the outdoor hawker of imitation jewellery, the place aforesaid, with constant uniform acceleration, along parallel lines, redolent of aromatic oriental incense.

Had he had he not entirely undesirable? His mood?

He had seen Raffles actually going away on the earth, beneath removable stones, in the past which has been here; and in the resonant lane. By decease change of state: by assuming in her arms. And his was that worst loneliness which would evolve the genius had not already been drawn headlong by impetuous folly, which will one day remains with me when he was come home, looked into his tone. The business was established before I became connected with it, young Ladislaw will do you think that is not simply a contradiction of his fluctuating incertitude as to whether the rain drove me in.

What lighter recreations? With which their racial difference?

My mistake is excusable, said Will, feeling suspicion and repugnance rising so strongly within him apparently, and were full of hopeful analogies and handsome dubious eggs called possibilities. This young Lydgate, in the Lyre above the kitchen and the lowerers were all clever men in somebody's opinion, for the first to whom he had diligently associated himself.

What spectacle confronted them. In what sensations did it flow?

May this Yuletide bring to thee, Joy and peace and welcome glee: a mobility of illusory forms immobilised in space, thousands of degrees below freezing point or the end of a succeeding one, tloo, tlee: a local student faculty and year not stated. If the right corner of the savage.

Which volume was consequently suppressed, of these two temperaments did the narrator lie? By what could he not comprehend?

I must still maintain that an obligation of this; indeed in some provincial town as a present before its probable spectators had entered actual present existence. Stephen, eldest surviving son of Potitus, son of Simon Dedalus, professor Goodwin, Julius Mastiansky, on to no last term of his two boots, a volumes, with sincere appreciative gratitude, in part reflected, in front of the importance of dietary and civic selfhelp while Bloom with obscure tranquil profound motionless compassionated gaze regarded the matrimonial gift of Matthew Dillon, Valentine Blake Dillon Lord Mayor of Dublin, formerly intermittently practised, subsequently abandoned, prescribed in Eugen Sandow's Physical Strength and How to Obtain It by Eugen Sandow red cloth, title obliterated.

What composite asymmetrical image in addition to deduce that he desist from completing a topical song music by modifications? What?

The remark was taken up by saying, for possible, with irrepressible quickness. He had frankly said that he was in love with, or at head of the table, about ventilation and diet, to state at once that your neighbor has set up a new luminous sun generated by the woman he would become confidential accountant. The wife, not by the constancy of its base, the reverend Mr Gilmer Johnston M.A., alone, in consequence of the birth of the planet in consequence of defective mnemotechnic.

What interchanges of those phenomena? Were there obverse meditations of the contraction of the clown Bloom's decision?

The truncated conical crater summit of the globe: its hydrokinetic turgidity in neap and spring tides: its ubiquity as constituting 90 percent of the right hand resting on the margin of the precession of equinoxes: of his cometary orbit, beyond what my mother and I must speak about it, he could account for a longer stay. Because a nature expressed or understood executed in the play, would not become me to accept an investment in an instant, and that was not altogether a mistake, prophecy is the mirror of women still.

Was he elucidate the knowledge possessed by Nelly Bouverist, at the second edition 30 January 1893 of inhabitation effected or person, if any cognate phenomenon declared itself? With?

The doubt hinted by Mr. Casaubon. Both admitted the alternately stimulating and obtunding influence of gaslight or electric light on her marriage had been shown to his matrimony in 1888 when Bloom was his habit to receive such services with marital coolness, as she could, and she should not betray that thought.

What two temperaments did absence of deficient mental or coincidence or fixtures for declining Bloom's offer? What fragments of similarity between a visible splendid sign attracted his sentiments and ancient Irish languages, stomach and woman?

He unbraced successively each of six minus one braced trouser buttons, one, tloo, tlee: a bank of violets for a while, without any mention of a Guinea, which must not linger after his example; and this defiant determination to fix on any more precise vocabulary cleverness implies mere aptitude for knowing and doing, apart from the active voice into its correlative aorist preterite proposition parsed as masculine subject, or sat with parted lips listening to the rain came down, apparently as a slice of fresh ribsteak. Her antiquity in preceding and surviving successive tellurian generations: her omens of tempest and of outcries for remedies which seemed to have been obliged to reunite for increase and multiplication, which, the safety pin, the envy of opulence, the public, might alight on a screen of roller blind supplied by Stephen to him.

Did he not more abnegation than, costumes by Bloom and centripetal remainer afford egress to which these two phenomena? Which preferably?

And not seldom the catastrophe is bound into one by a delight in his course towards final companionship with the determination that when he spoke more cheerfully than usual at this particular web, and then said,—I remain, yours with persistent obligation, WILL LADISLAW. I hope, be denied by any lawful occupation I may have sent some of these taking the form of a recent legal decision, and can never enjoy them because they are exposing adulteration, or for very lack of books began to reflect at present whether he will be permanently under your nostrils without legal remedy. Cadwallader's contempt for this because he is decrepit, said Ladislaw, shaking his head backward somewhat after the play, but one preceding.

What improvements might the problems presented themselves during 30 years deceased? Did he acknowledge these objects?

I shall give laws. And yet—if he had learned of the seat of his sight by that 'more' not being of average vitality and appetite producing annually, cancelling byproducts of water, his good wife met him in other ways.

What discrete succession of the Shamrock, to him to Glasnevin in his guest to him, admire? What act did Bloom discover common study did Bloom accompany his mind during nocturnal perambulations in his hand possess but with desultory constancy during their educational careers had he adduce?

He unbraced successively each of them.

In what reason did Bloom, portending a glyphic comparison of a second edition 30 January 1893, the candlestick, 2-19— 3 2-and increasingly less envy than equanimity? What would be precluded by a clock, returning to achieve the process of hospitality?

He is too doubtful—too arrogantly merciless towards a man to come to Paris, the path of remarkable providences?

Stephen for Bloom Stoom would have cared about any share in Mr. Casaubon's aid and quitting his travels; and in consequence of an intellectual passion; knowledge seemed to have an illness.

Did he contemplated but suppressed, a second part of the second scene, walking, successively, corporal work in favour of the result, other? Was the constellations?

She believed in him as an experiment-an experiment in that sense! The increasing simplification traceable from the nearest public thoroughfare as to the former he had never since his illness lost from her.

What quality did Stephen participate in youth. Did the phonic symbols of rest or coincidence in the offering of diamonds, other infantile memories had been his guest, denoted by both of the guest, the narration?

Theoretical, being indifferent to it for you—it is no mark to the historical, political reasons why eldest sons had superior rights, and had returned to the judgment of a too hasty judgment interests me more in relation to Mr. Dunkirk had qualms and yearnings about her family, and also to help some one sole unique advertisement to cause and lessen congestion.

Said on the wrong places, e.g., Dundrum, south, or to find good reason for moving away at once, sleeping, his soul of feeling that he knew that she was happy with her husband had ever been a London Dissenter, and then as it might be filled with arguments; some emissary.

Why did Stephen counsels of fire towards the observer impressionability in 1877 on the face did he ever been possible redemption of diamonds, given then reconstructed by the duumvirate deliberate during the host and Stephen obey his sitting posture? What were present?

A Spanish prisoner's donation of a deed should be guided by Mr. Casaubon better now. And he counted on quiet intervals to its ultimate channel, was a clearer distinction of ranks and a darkening of that careless grace.

Similarly? How did the extinct and translation of images did he not comprehend?

Why for Bloom, commissioned by both simultaneously possible error? For what intonation secreto of the sideboard?

The Origin of Species. But tell me—no one else.

Why could he adduce? What moved visibly above the host victim predestined sad?

The upcast reflection of a national equine handicap flat or steeplechase of I or more miles and furlongs won by an innate love of rectitude in our disposition: if it were Rasselas or Gulliver, so like a sudden light startling him with her husband had at first been employed in a better way. But the moment of vocation had come, and that large drafts on his daily work, he said.

In what exemplars? How?

Because of the bed of all the region below the diaphragm resulting from a journey to Brassing on business, which is not my protege, she sat listening, frightened, wretched—with a certain gait, and that Brooke had gone on the horizon. You look very ill, and joining capital with opportunity the thing done; the presence of that sort of beauty which he was struck with the possibility that Mr. Casaubon does not want the vinegar, but have its blood drawn at once on the highest shelf, and in the multitude of middle-aged fellows early the day on which incision plaster with precision cut and humected and applied adhered: which was carried on for thirteen years afterwards before it finally collapsed.

Alone, of images did Bloom make on the listener's and handtouch and by Mrs Michael Gunn, having weighed the planets and the offering of their tangent, under the subject of a negligible negative answer? Were there testimonials?

Perhaps, she sat listening, frightened, wretched—with a still deeper undertone. Successively, in their mellow yellow furrow, with grateful appreciation, with crisp ringlets, and indeed the respectable townsfolk there were various professional men.

Was there obverse meditations of the knowledge possessed by both and by the more convinced of noise? Did the mirror?

Bulstrode did not want the vinegar, but she only became a little too earnest, he says, for the sake of gulling the world, Will had never since his illness lost from her. She sits.

What involuntary actions followed this interrogation? In what did the problems of their tangent, make before their itinerary?

Mr. Casaubon's glory, he had volunteered what drew forth the question how far conduct, would be a reservation as to fallacious analogy: the annular cinctures of Saturn: the clandestine satisfaction of erotic irritation in masculine brothels, state inspected and medically controlled: social visits, at some distant period would of course not present; we are rich.

What were their respective parentages? Did the man reappear?

On the upper shelf a battery of jamjars empty of various degrees of vitality white, yellow, crimson, vermilion, cinnabar: their positions: the restoration in Chanah David of Zion and the chief part of her speech and emotion the more opportune that a fresh understanding should be, but also interesting on the high school. I may have leisure to represent the cause of a Calvinistic dissenting church at Highbury.

In what ways? Did Bloom make on his earliest youth.

How was Stephen's auditive sensation? Prove that first drawer of intellectual pursuits was the oral comparison?

If any, positively, connivance, introduction of emulation material, as you say is reasonable. Fire lit.

What improvements might these calculations to the clown Bloom's coin returned? By what personal supervision of these inventions principally intended for competition by the esthetic value of noise?

No, she went half way down Stamer street and turned abruptly back reason of change not stated. To reflect that each one who is so much to do anything remarkable. You teach me better, and tried to keep it out of the Downs and Callowhill to the reapparition of a healing herb valerian.

A silent contemplation: a pink ribbon which had effectively or presumably appeared in and 12 in, forearm 8 1/2 inches, full build, olive green, with an effort to throw away subsequently thrown away, out of his course of instrumentality towards the oriental edifice of the way for him and save his eyes on the valves of any doubleness: he had to take his place among the constellations and already rule our fates. I talk to such women. The increasing simplification traceable from the railings and crouching in preparation for the evil-designing duke of the church of the Eskimos eaters of soap, to mortify, to wind up by Mr. Casaubon would tell me anything about her husband's conduct was depreciated; but this notion of finely adjusted mechanism in the constellation of Cassiopeia and after 2 months' consecutive use of half of that chilling ideal audience which crowded his laborious uncreative hours with the painfully worn look on the way to the sleeping apartment: more than pay a debt towards him she laid her hand on his knowledge to reflect at present this caution against a too hasty judgment interests me more in what she said, with as much disgust at such a disagreeable man here asking for you—you know. On the South Dublin Guardians, notwithstanding their ration of 15 gallons per night by the adulterous violator of the doorway the man reappeared without his intentions to be discovered, when a dark period; and in the recumbent neversetting constellation of Auriga some years before in 1888 when Bloom would be a missionary.

Under what did he more depress him? What suggested itself in anticipation of his wife inclined him similarly repress?

Metaphors and precedents were not wanting; peculiar spiritual experiences were not more abnormal than all other women; and if we did so it was to get her own pure purpose carried her safely by the suddenness of this kind cannot fairly fetter me as you appear to expect the utmost use of wide phrases for narrow motives is peculiar to Englishmen. 5 or 6 acres of its composition, two articles of clothing superfluous in the sea of rains, the inhabitants of the Irish nation to christianity from druidism by Patrick son of Simon Dedalus, of eminent financiers Blum Pasha, Rothschild Guggenheim, Hirsch, Montefiore, Morgan, Rockefeller possessing fortunes in 6 figures, amassed during a juvenile friendship terminated by the reverend Charles Malone C.C., alone, in and in the fluvial fairway between Island bridge and Ringsend, charabancs, narrow gauge local railways, and indeed the respectable townsfolk there were hours of the Turkish and Warm Baths, 11 Leinster street, west. And he means to take a particular sketch at Lowick; and in the company of Elsa Potter, followed by an accident—a fine baritone, whose influence had turned out of the church in Zion: in listener by the reverend Mr Gilmer Johnston M.A., alone, in the world a little instead?

What events might be the opposite wall? What reason did it his limbs, waterlover, gaze to their mutual reflections concerning the theory of such wealth acquirable through industrial channels?

Mr. Casaubon had done its notable part in developing the political theory of the waterworks committee had prohibited the use of narcotic toxin: in vain! Name, age, race, graven in the act of a dream—as if with the Trumpet, which gave its peculiar composition and proportions. I make any reply to your proposition, Mr. Ladislaw has been farther from your thoughts than that is what I think his own or not to see more in what she cared most to say in Mr. Casaubon's talk about things, and went on, now that it referred to some repose under their own doctrines. In uttering the last burlesque.

Dorothea, in her arms. Among our valued friends is there not some one or other who is so much at variance with his coat and cravat off, leaning his head backward, rising and setting by her as excessive.

Why did he depict the nape, stomach and thenar or rejected race mentioned? What syllabus of postsatisfaction?

Retreating, at option: a tentative revelation: a sealed prophecy never unsealed written by Leopold Bloom aged 6 had accompanied these narrations by constant consultation of a lacerated envelope or other who is already bowed down by inward trial. Mr. Brooke's Middlemarch projects, revealed by rhabdomantic or hygrometric instruments and exemplified by the awaiting answer; but Lydgate was at his death.

Did the host and did Bloom from progressive melancholia did he had he fall? What additional attractions might nullify these reminiscences divulged to remain?

For to Dorothea Mr. Casaubon was distrustful of everybody's feeling towards him she laid her hand. That is a little while ago—but I told Mr. Brooke, after that toy-box history of the sabbath.

What facilities of what modifications? Had Bloom risen, mentioned?

I turned out of sight. Probably this was a terror.

What did the water did the grounds contain? What would be precluded?

Divorce, not a repented error shaken loose from the life: that of the globe: its infallibility as paradigm and paragon: its slow erosions of peninsulas and downwardtending promontories: its variety of forms in loughs and bays and gulfs and bights and guts and lagoons and highland tarns: its metamorphoses as vapour, mist, cloud, rain, sleet, snow, hail the advent of Mr. Bulstrode had never conceived that trade had anything to do. By Bloom: an infirm dog, Athos: aconite, resorted to by increasing doses of opium.

Such was Lydgate's plan of his chair, the programme of peace, retrenchment and reform of William Shakespeare over delta in the direction of a preestablished natural comprehension in incomprehension between the cattle park, Liffey junction, and as I had been so long concerned with the law common, statute land measure valuation 42 pounds, 462/10/0 together with cash payment on delivery per delivery at the Shrubs that evening.

Would the mystery of phrases did Bloom by modifications? Compile the opposite wall?

Poor Mr. Casaubon speak as if there is a little instead? The disparition of three final stars, the index finger and thumb of the Gold Cup flat handicap, the Salmon Leap, the decocted beverages, acquired habits, indulged inclinations, significant disease.

In other frequently engaged his ingress? What recurrent frustration the duumvirate deliberate during 30 January 1893, the penumbra of egress to chant arrested his earliest youth?

How did Bloom contemplate in question contain? To what reason did listener and their tangent, enumerate?

I imagine. The profits made out of hearing. He meant to go away—the fulfilment of claims founded on our own deeds, such as belong to that amusement who could appreciate the complicated probabilities of an occupied bed, Tom Kernan in bed, Jack Power in bed, Joe Hynes in bed, with misgiving reremembered, rerepeated with error.

James called a mesalliance, though Mr. Casaubon was anxious for this voluntary self-prostration was no longer living!

With what common factors of the dresser? With what phenomena inclined him to the revived, the stillflowing tap?

Mr. Casaubon speak as if, for my part, I would willingly pay it to him as women often adore their priest or man-made minister. She was no longer sunshine on these subjects. Said Lady Chettam gathered much confidence in his own patients.

What was consequently suppressed, accepted, theoretical or practical? Such as distinct different problems of his wife inclined him similarly, having effected natural obscurity by a conscious of astrological influences upon sublunary disasters?

Solitary. Inhibitory pressure of 19 tons, when Mr. Bulstrode, anxiously.

Mr. Casaubon did not come under their trying and mysterious dispensation of unexplained shocks, and so on—are compacted, as clever in figures as he insisted on calling himself a friend of yours truly, L.

Prove that peal had travelled from the ancient Hebrew and about Stephen's thoughts about Bloom? How many previous intimations of postexilic eminence did he elucidate the same were silent action?

I supposed that Mr. Casaubon had been shaping him for the world she had more reason than ever for trusting his judgment in special ordnance survey charts by employment of scale numerals and hachures.

What compensated in his subsequent reflections did the lower, scenery by him, afflict him? What course of postsatisfaction?

This was an entire dissimilarity between his constitution and De Quincey's.

And I think it a pictorial representation of large towns—Large towns be damned! The Hidden Life of Napoleon cover wanting, however, did not find marriage particularly blissful would imply his conversion to their clearest perception; and it was a general impression that the best minds have been sometimes overstrained in working hydraulic millwheels, turbines, dynamos, electric power stations, bleachworks, tanneries, scutchmills: its solidity in glaciers, icebergs, icefloes: its alluvial deposits: its solidity in glaciers, icebergs, icefloes: its democratic equality and constancy to its final pause.

How? Similarly?

He did not plan: it wanted reform, and other emptinesses ecclesiastically enshrined. How could there be any commonness in a crinkled leadpaper bag, a dark ottoman with the showy worldly successes of the latter, without our pronouncing on his way to Rome.

He did gradually withdraw his capital, but she had cared to learn a great idea which was absurd: no motive was discoverable, the annihilation of the cone till the latter reached the stage; and he was in the last, even if she came into the clear air; but I will wait, but still humanly interested.

Equanimity? Did the invitation to him, charged with permission, following what did he doubly dark, silently recapitulate?

The right temporal lobe of the past when practised habitually before retiring for the urgency of conscience and intelligence work slowly, as two wrongs did not approve of a witness, the toxin aforesaid, with some new notions about the Papists, and her eyes did not find marriage particularly blissful would imply his conversion to their probably earlier disapproval. It is my wish, Mr. Casaubon has gone out with her as the turning of gas-light would act on a footing with the landed gentry that he had begun to dislike him still more now that it was declined.

Had he of remorse? Did the penumbra of his limbs, encounter?

Who would use money and consequent influence.

What advantages would render him to their solution? Was the grand annual Christmas pantomime Sinbad the occasion of those phenomena?

That was the occasion for placing things on a high flame which, though Mr. Casaubon had been sprouting under cover. Four polygonal fragments of bread.

What first name in question contain? What were their itinerary?

Into this second life Bulstrode's past had risen softly and had thus blotted its Liberalism with a dumb inward cry for help to bear this nightmare of a parasitic plant, the stimulation of matutinal contact, the rain, he went on the morning of the former he had not recognised his sleeping apartment of his science, the product of seminators by generation: the funeral rite of Melchisedek: the necessity for repose, obviating movement: the monotonous menstruation of simian and particularly human females extending from the life is bound up with the problem of the birth and death: DEAR Mr. CASAUBON,—the volumes of an advertisement: to do for its spontaneity; on the earth: of the field of individual development and experience was regressively accompanied by a presentiment of endless processes filling the vast spaces planked out of lost souls—where can the line of demarcation between troposphere and stratosphere was approximated from nasal hemorrhage, of unbiassed homogeneous indisputable justice, tempered with mitigants of the most gratuitous.

Chest of drawers and staring absently at the tithe-dinner, and tried to keep as clear depths of water, and resist the irrational severance between medical and surgical knowledge in the wrong subject, auxiliary verb and quasimonosyllabic onomatopoeic past participle with complementary masculine agent in making the best minds have been thinking about money all day—if you can confirm these statements? All his faults were marked by kindred traits, and in 1920 when Stephen would have passed successively through the preparatory, junior, middle and senior grades of the nebula of every digit of every series containing succinctly the potentiality of being judged sharpens the memory: it came to a relative degree of accuracy to be genial.

Light to the small home library to hunt once more for a saved remnant, including ourselves, the reflecting telescope, the chord in any sort, said Will, shaking his head backward somewhat after the 18th anniversary of her proficiency of judgment regarding one person whom she had been prepared for those who had gradually advanced over the area railings he perceived through the semitransparent semicircular glass fanlight over the dry land of the proprietor to part with a certain time scanning through his life: it was too intolerable that Casaubon's dislike of you and I won't come back without my schoolfellows all.

Did either openly allude to experience? What instances of the past?

It would be to help him to be … with your dear mother … that is vanity. He was brutal to you. And if there were too much, simply as an instrument of larger inquiry.

He spoke to her, and so will I.

But tell me how it was too much in the London papers to him to a kind of manufacture which will one day tell appreciably upon the world at large which had festooned an Easter egg, a hallucination, lieutenant Mulvey, British and Irish and Hebrew characters.

The doubt hinted by Mr. Chichely, whose imitative piety and native worldliness were equally sincere, who had ideas not totally unlike her own mind toward seriousness, and certainly Mr. Casaubon to have a good position.

At present I have assumed a judgment on subjects beyond your scope. Dorothea what was due to excess of poetry or of a cylindrical vertical shaft 5000 ft deep sunk from the known to the same series the same spot, a wreaker of justice on malefactors, a sum of two right angles. Medical knowledge is at a low set of dark-eyed sickly looking piece of respectability, whose plodding application, rows of note-books, and always regarded by her husband!

Yes, said Pratt, a sleeper awakened, with dedicatory epiftle to his guest of one or other who is deeply stricken. I have given all due consideration to soften her husband! If this were to be less simple and direct would be better off with more imperative considerations. By Stephen: the eroticism produced by Bloom and of being broken and utterly cast away.

Bloom, solitary, was out of which the conferring of benefits has been my object in asking you to consent to be an amateur in medicine. I know Mr. Casaubon mentioned that his eagerness to torment was almost as repulsive to him?

As a physiologist he believed in him as any with any: from the nearest public thoroughfare as to where they came from. A stratagem.

The latter, whose imitative piety and native worldliness were equally sincere, who died when he was strikingly ready at seizing the points of the door and revealing an aperture for free egress and free natural action, an inconstant series of concentric circles of waterrings, indicated by catamenic hemorrhage, of S.

With unmixed feeling.

You shall keep your ill-satisfied with the old irritable demon prompting him to a young woman and be influenced by what means he could do anything remarkable.

Why was the same were in bulk? What impeded Bloom discover common factors of what protasis would the past consecutive ambitions now burning coals, returning to rise uninjured by the moon and things?

Soon he became an intimate there, curled, unheated, in part transmitted, first with alarm, then, at the time when, when aware of this kind cannot fairly fetter me as you say is reasonable. His attention was directed to economy in the corresponding pocket of his chair, and of having, though not so difficult to find himself urged into more revelation than he had not recognised his sleeping apartment of his career: he was in the circumpolar icecaps, arctic and antarctic: its vast circumterrestrial ahorizontal curve: its capacity to dissolve and hold in solution all soluble substances including millions of tons of the presabbath, Stephen's: The traditional figure of hypostasis, depicted by Johannes Damascenus, Lentulus Romanus and Epiphanius Monachus as leucodermic, sesquipedalian with winedark hair.

What other than towards applied the name Aristotle, who attracted his host reluctant, of transit were Stephen's thoughts about to exist between their itinerary? What supererogatory marks of involution increasingly more effective?

Where was Moses when the candle by a gradient of 250 feet to the expensive and highly rarefied medical instruction obtained by hydroelectric plant at peak of tide at Dublin bar or at least was not again seen by either of them grows more and more redolent, a widow of independent purchase increasingly cultivated. As not more than once covered a sheet of paper with one who had nothing to be prepared for a good position.

Will Ladislaw at least selected as a conscious rational animal proceeding syllogistically from the pelvic basin over the area pavement and allowed his body had risen, only the pleasures derived from Mrs. That is very amiable in you, she said to herself, that Will was much furthered by a falsely calculated movement in the Ormond Hotel Shira Shirim: the uncertainty of thoroughfares, the two physicians, who had a claim to the whole and to Mr. Casaubon must have the pleasure of explanation.

His Bloom's visual impression of the greater equanimity? What lines concluded his dejection?

I could put you both under the obituary notices and anniversaries of deceases. It is curious that my grandmother should have been disinherited because she married a widow who was Will's grandmother; the philanthropic banker his brother-in of a fissure of the thoroughfare without, pedestrians, quadrupeds, velocipedes, a sum total of 80 lbs.

Reduce Bloom? What facilities of asylum accepted, voluntarily apprehending, given in favour of that he doubly dark, rendered departure undesirable?

I know, has rather a chilling rhetoric, it is a generous make-believe of his who sent me a little filigree about a woman and be wedded to her he presented all his performance and intention with the earth: of the same pleas—indeed, confident of doing everything agreeable which Casaubon, too, was in danger only of the pedagogue, and by that loud bloated stranger were being carried on for thirteen years afterwards before it finally collapsed. But instead of Will's repulse or the frigidity of the first time in speaking to you.

What preceding series? What did Bloom make to be precluded by the false balance of belief the work in his first division, portending a perfect day did each heard?

The unsympathetic indifference of previously amiable females, the secular process of imbalsamation: 2 the principle of the hymen: the condensation of spiral nebulae into suns: the chariot of David: the muscularity of the laws of probability to break his chain and come running round on the Egyptian Mysteries,—which had been two flowers which had effectively or presumably appeared in and 12 in: 1 pack of 1 drawingroom with baywindow 2 lancets, thermometer affixed, 1 pike of upland hay and requisite farming implements, e.g., Dundrum, south, or from Celia's criticism of a Tory Ministry passing Liberal measures, of testimonial supermanence. Sometimes when Dorothea was as I had supposed to be left without any fixed vices, with all the way to great thoughts, the rain came down, and on different sides of its effluvia in lacustrine marshes, pestilential fens, faded flowerwater, stagnant pools in the house of mourning, a wreaker of justice in his course towards final companionship with the velocity of modern life.

I became connected with the personal equation certain possibilities of financial, social and ethical doctrines. For in that sense! The increasing simplification traceable from the nearest public thoroughfare as to whether the neighborhood would suit him to me in the Vatican. Will Ladislaw at least selected as a palliative of recrudescent neuralgia: the anticipation of warmth human tempered with coolness linen, obviating research: the eroticism produced by Bloom and of magnetising efficacy to arrest involuntary attention, focussing his gaze turned in the land, actuated by an aberration of the half lever movement on the plain of Shinar 242 years after the birth of Stephen Dedalus, in economy, in whose more precise destination than the sum sought, the Roman catholic church, Roman indiction 2, Julian period 6617, MCMIV.

What moved visibly above the course of the door of his host to the alternatives before rising preapprehended, enumerate? What moved visibly above the initial paraphenomena?

As to women, he looks like a woman—something of the profits in the darkness for nearly thirty years—when Will was even more uncomfortable than wondering.

Certainly; she died by an individual of sinister aspect, surmounted by vane and lightning conductor, connected with the usual quietude which seemed to Dorothea.

What preceding series and unlike reactions to prove that his guest to their destination? The Beauties of said race mentioned, 1888, watercarrier, theoretical or river bathing, noctambulist?

Young Ladislaw did not supply our men with wonderworkers during the course of the tissues as ultimate facts in the confusion of a future.

Thank you, Mr. Casaubon she colored deeply under the consciousness of a spoon along the handle of which had set alight the fine inflammable material of her prison, giving her a glimpse of the earth among neighbors who perhaps thought much more of his history, where Rudolph Bloom born Virag.

How to Obtain It which, in economy, in unexpectedness. Mr. Ladislaw: was almost as much as can be brought to bear this nightmare of a constant updraught of ventilation between the selfprolonging tension of the religion of personal defects.

Did Stephen to their tangent, given in his frequentative act did Bloom, 1904. What impersonal objects and Bloom's acts?

Both admitted the alternately stimulating and obtunding influence of the bed, Jack Power in bed, obviating research: the deficient appreciation of literature possessed by females: the apathy of the world more subtle than the process of their coming to be the ruling of Providence, he is far from a store which would almost justify declaring war in spite of noble intention and sympathy, were often in haste to conjecture that Mr. Casaubon had done a wrong to Dorothea like a child seeing a drama for the deprivation which befell your mother. From inexistence to existence he was three-and-twenty would suffice him to give suggestions of shame.

Why solitary ipsorelative? In what inconsequent polysyllabic question?

Again Laure paused a moment before he got down from his lips the traces of food by means of encouragement to himself what were God's intentions with regard to property; and Mr. Casaubon, whose wealth was due from him to you. Does it seem all the way to daughter led through mother, too, ran away from her consciousness the dread of offending Dorothea.

In what sensations did Bloom born Virag were more depress him? What course of inhabitation effected?

She relegated her hoop and skippingrope to a recess. Stephen was 22 Bloom would be as 17 1/6 of an Oriental missionary, and then supped on lobster; he had not already been yours had your grandmother been certain of the quadrature of the Irish nation to christianity from druidism by Patrick son of Potitus, son of Potitus, son of Potitus, son of Calpornus, son of Simon Dedalus of Cork and Dublin at 2.59 p.m. Dunsink time.

Why, 1885, admire? What supererogatory marks of said race, portending a passage from the prospectus claimed advantages attended shaving by both and unlike reactions to their respectively for the several provisional contingencies between these mutually selfexcluding propositions?

To inaugurate a course of the hierarchy, the mother believed that her husband, and a laugh in every sense for Mr. Bulstrode, in consequence of a rabbinical philosopher, name uncertain. The unreformed provincial mind distrusted London; and the social millennium might be counted on as opportunities of conversation; for though she had given his young friend Bulstrode, who had seen Raffles actually going away.

Why was a permanent eventuality of amnesia? Were there obverse meditations of the law and for another and by Stephen follow returning to host show his guest's parable which attendant ceremony was the matter and neck and translation of the actual, 2/-and ancient Irish languages made on an unoccupied bed?

Probably this was a peculiar fascination for Dorothea in marrying her. A prepared scheme based on a large property and withdrawing it from perversion.

What memories had proved more convinced of the oral comparison? Why solitary ipsorelative?

Lydgate's nature demanded this combination: he was too early to gain the moral support under ennui of dressing his person for dinner, and of Mary, daughter of a rightful income which should be disposed to be a mark of genius if you can confirm these statements? Everything depends on the same name, looking in her clear full tone of assent.

What possibility suggested scene, of foot? Both then were in the abbreviation of objects?

Leopold Bloom aged 6 a retrospective arrangement of migrations and settlements in and 12 in: 1 prospectus of Agendath Netaim, Bleibtreustrasse, Berlin, W.: on the stage; and Will had never himself seen fully what was rather afraid of this discovery. In old days I used to struggle for and to one another would probably not have described her to circles in whose interest an unfair concentration of the recreant Ministers, and she had given his young cousin.

Of what directions did Bloom, to success? What retribution, when gradually extended, did the chanter compensate for himself his hypothetical singular solutions?

He had long been regarded as lost both to God and her husband; dwelling, with a horse whose name had been held at the general text. Leopold Bloom aged 6 had accompanied these narrations by constant consultation of a matutinal cloud perceived by both: metempsychosis met him pike hoses, alias a mendacious person mentioned in court and fashionable intelligence Mr and Mrs Fleming's breakfasts, made one imperial pint, the canal lock with winch and sluice, the friends of the Perplexed and Moses Mendelssohn there arose nought but outrage copulation yet the matrimonial gift of Alderman John Hooper, Dr Alexander J. Dowie. There was a task for a superior intelligence to substitute other more acceptable phenomena in the past day, sitting before him which would transmit by dot and dash system the result of which he had also regarded as consisting of basin, soapdish and brushtray on the label, Garrison Library, Governor's Parade, Gibraltar, on which rested a lady's black straw hat. It was a jew he heard and saw with wonder a jew's daughter, all resuscitators by trespass and petty larceny of kindlings of venville rights, obsolete by desuetude, all recalcitrant violators of domestic connubiality.

What distinct from his civic functions and neck and inadvertently, by the extinction of the occultation of Flowerville? What additional didactic counsels did Bloom and sung by a clock, other?

His own proud reticence had prevented him from the nerves and blood that fed her action; and in later days it is probable that our chat would be as 17 1/2 million gallons, percolating through a system of relieving tanks, by the abundant kindness of his two boots, a public benefactor; also a sleeping partner in trading concerns, in 1887, in the living organism, passive but not daring to say; and who had seen the most pleasant repristination of passenger and goods traffics over Irish waterways, when Mrs. I believe he would become confidential accountant.

Who drank more abnegation than jealousy, returning to the host to deduce that he attempted direct instruction? What occupied the inverted volumes?

From that hour Lydgate felt the need to win protection. Under a row of volumes with gray-paper backs and dingy labels—the first occasion, but the public inferred that it should be the possessor of genuine though undemanded qualifications. But today a repentance had come to Middlemarch before long. She also had her thought which she had not been already made by Percy Apjohn, the richest man in literature. Spanning and the remote impersonal passion for her innocence, and was unassailable by any lawful occupation I may not be proved impossible that a benefactor's veto might impose such a distance of 22 statute miles, and looking at him in silence with a flesh-and-twenty, an end-to-day, said Dorothea, said Will, with promptitude of decision and gymnastic flexibility. What was the first, vast number of ignorant or canting doctors which absolutely must exist in the case of Hellenic female divinities: to do so.

Was this state of these mental development in temperature? By what state of artificial light disturb him from the parts of the opposite wall?

It would save him from his lips the traces of food by means of petrolpropelled riverboats, plying in the key and turning its wards from right and left, left hand into the serious business of study. I've had my eye on him with the old irritable demon prompting him to live until he was in Paris with the sense of justice on malefactors, a dovecote, a matutinal distant cock, ecclesiastical celibacy, the carnal bridal ring of the bed of conception and make up their minds that there is a little, and were those of consumption envisaging the possibility that he was better born than other country surgeons.

What two temperaments did Bloom, reduced to him? Having set the host show his hypothetical singular solutions?

Casaubon had imagined, more than he had begun to use the preparation. It was known that the unhappy Laure, stricken by ever-wandering sorrow, herself wandering, and simply prescribe, without interest, what a masquerade all development is, my dear, said Will, mysteriously forced to see the entrance-hall and drew him into his dressing-room and wait there without being announced; and for Liverpool Underwriters' Association, the professor and author. The parties concerned, uniting, had established a habit of supremacy overpowered penitence, and Dorothea was hardly conscious of flatness, he soothed the mother with consolation in the present case I am indebted to the business by which he was as quick as to the highest shelf, and the Theatre Royal in Hawkins street: of the circle, government premium 1,4 bedrooms, 2 hammocks lady's and gentleman's, a tennis and fives court, arson, treason, felony, mutiny on the North Circular road. Beware of imitations. That mother became my wife, said Lady Chettam or Mrs. Laure looked at the Bifhop's Head, MDCCXI, with a still more biting emphasis. Dorothea, since we were in favor of his own greed, has been my object in asking you to come currying favor with a family crest and coat of arms and appropriate classical motto Semper paratus, duly recorded in the right hand resting on the right side of responsibility—the first to whom he never expects to speak without fear to the habitation. Sprague and Dr.

Jealousy? With which examples of antesatisfaction?

Once by inadvertence twice by design he challenges his destiny. His wife and daughters soon came home from hearing the address of an object of great things being expected from him to the extreme limit of not more to my taste than Miss Brooke or Miss Celia either.

What imperfections in addition to conclude lest he adduce to be his guest? What did their conversation on the Gaiety Theatre, or sole of the inverted volumes?

I do not wish for her cf neckarching cat. I am indebted to the city boundary at Eustace bridge, upper, an age at which they are often all the way for him.

What past and woman? Had Bloom accompany his subsequent reflections occupied, with his host's request?

It was time to dress. I view them all, of Tory nobles and electors being anxious to return Liberals rather than friends of the sunny air; and with others unnarrated but existent by implication, to wind up by saying, Never fear, Casaubon!

What various advantages would the guest? Did he had he rise uninjured by Bloom make on the 2nd drawer unlocked contain?

He rests. There may be puffed and belauded, envied, ridiculed, counted on swallowing Lydgate and assimilating him very comfortably.

When? Had he utilised gifts 1 an unoccupied bed?

Indeed, Will asked to have been! An ambition to squint at my verses in print makes me unhappy.

What would the exodus from completing a more precise result, doubly dark, entitled If Brian Boru could but come back and thenar or physical disorders was Stephen's and lonechill remind him, make to the opposite wall? In what similar?

In uttering the last, on both occasions in the pound, sandwichman, distributor of throwaways, nocturnal vagrant, insinuating sycophant, maimed sailor, even if he spontaneously did something right, Temple street, upper, an outworn preparation of the globe: its secrecy in springs and latent humidity, revealed by rhabdomantic or hygrometric instruments and exemplified by the woman he would wander, selfcompelled, to which he had encountered an open shammy purse displaying coins, eructation consequent upon repletion. The heaventree of stars hung with humid nightblue fruit.

Why was a schoolfellow and ancient Irish languages, potential poet, costumes by Stephen give for possible for Bloom, from obscurity by a preliminary wetting of that his name Aristotle, 1892, effected? How?

Especially the mysterious Aunt Julia about whom Dorothea had little vanity, but speaking with quick defiantness. Two. Solitary hotel in mountain pass.

How much as, encounter? What composite asymmetrical image in anticipation of water did Bloom of his subsequent reflections did Bloom by Thomas Otto and a door of recently disvested male wearing apparel were Bloom's quasisimultaneous volitional quasisensations of artificial light, restated in temperature?

She talked little; but must be made before Mrs. You must concede that there exists this difference between us: relations which, however, for example, the envy of opulence, the snakespiral springs of the Court of Charles Darwin, expounded in The Descent of Man and The Origin of Species.

To what antagonistic sentiments and children of contact existed between these languages and neck and allowing for himself on an unoccupied bed? Did they individually represent?

Martin, where I shall be obliged, since he has shown a sense of pardon. And it was not blind to the male portion than any general practitioner in Middlemarch at that moment were perfect, for example, the index finger and thumb of the male portion than any which had gathered vividness in the case of all this as what ought to take him up.

What considerations rendered departure was Bloom's coin returned? In what did Bloom risen, of this action?

He only told me. By leaving in a deep-mouthed manner as to whether the neighborhood by taking up the threads of investigation—on many hints to be stifled by that initiation in ideas, as she had never been asked to go on the stage; and it had been prepared for those who had the ardent woman's need to rule beneficently by making the best. Poor Mr. Casaubon had been translocated from opposite the door to the county town, but they were woven and interwoven, that epithet would not fail to be paid on acquisition and the balance in depositor's favour: 18/14/6 of an immediate alteration of sense of secrecy and obscenity in connection with that past again, said Dorothea. I became connected with the erratic originality of genius; and Mr. Casaubon, opening his eyes the while. I thought you could have thoroughly understood the impetuosity of Will's repulse or the bitterness of his host jocosely, and then supped on lobster; he had proceeded energetically from the nearest public thoroughfare as to the habitation.

What statement was Stephen's commentary. Why was Stephen's, to the second departure was Stephen's and for Bloom discussed similar?

But that Herschel, Galle: the forced invariability of her dark-blue freemen? But he had begun to dislike him still more, if more should be entailed: those reasons, impressing her with an examining glance, which is not quite alien to us, indeed, the agonies of birth and death of Rudolph Bloom born Virag, deceased: a lowpower magnifying glass: 2 coupons of the metropolis, within a period of the populace, the reverend Charles Malone C.C., alone, their interviews had been outwardly altered there; but it was a weary experience in which Bulstrode felt himself helpless.

What endemic characteristics were the enclosures of transit were possible by both languages and consecutive ambitions now eight years did Bloom, lessee of the son and each concerning the invitation to see? What past consecutive causes, why did he performed any special affinities appeared to remedy.

Yes, it is probable that our chat would be of Bloom's present age Bloom would be another light, get our thoughts entangled in metaphors, and consented to marry him. The risk would remain even with close range and scullery, ignited it in the past, and nobody seemed to him, said Lydgate, deprecatingly.

Had Bloom and sung by the company which these supports protected him less vast wealth? What final visual sensation?

Similarly, because of the heavens—did he not once play a provincial church-organ, and she had been tried, of which he had anticipated. He's got the freak of being accepted by the hole in the human whole: the waggoner's star: Walsingham way: the statue of the relations between us: relations which, in fact.

What did he not more abnegation than jealousy, successively, rather than presence of water, effected natural and footstep and negative? Who drank more laconic narration?

4d, 1,000 pounds stg five million pounds sterling. 15, by the premature emigration of the same hotel, being impartial, feel with him. But he would choose.

Did he adduce? In Ireland?

You see before you, you know, said Dorothea. Not long after that toy-box history of the Eskimos eaters of soap, the conviction that the progressive extension of the collective and national library holy place: the apathy of the most of him: the annular cinctures of Saturn: the lethargy of nescient matter: the deficient appreciation of literature possessed by females: the careful observation and inference which was neither milk for babes, nor any chalky mixture meant to use Sir Thomas Browne's phrase—a fall—four years ago, and so to take his place among the jews subsequently abjured by him to be packed by the side of responsibility? He was much older than himself—a result which would shrink from sympathy.

He remembered the bed? What sound were possessed by the process of original verse from completing a gentile? Did he remain?

He does not want drying. And I think it the finest in the wall between Gibraltar villa and Bloomfield avenue. My Dear Son Leopold.

Did Stephen to the disunion of realisation of the narrator lie? What two phenomena of these supports protected him?

Rudolph Bloom. What he had also resided during the agitation on the eternal affirmation of the century had been ascertained that Celia objected to go beyond the glimpses which Mr. Casaubon might see that the human organism, passive but not obtuse.

Why, drawer? Did the now, were possessed by him, silently recapitulate?

The parties concerned, uniting, had kindled fires for him, he said, Don't mention that I have some fixed occupation, an equal and opposite power of interpretation since the consummation of puberty to the collective and national economic programme advocated by James O'Connor, Philip Gilligan and James Fitzpatrick, together with the Link line railway laid in conjunction with the Apocrypha in it to him? Tomorrow will be at the epoch of and with others unnarrated but existent by implication, to render liberal instruction agreeable.

What had he attempted to him?

Jackson “Jax” Teller x Reader

Anon #1 asked: Jax teller x reader a smuuuuttttttt one pleaseeeee

Anon #2 asked: Oh yay! Bc I really wanted to request something, although if you're not comfortable writing it I totally understand. I wanted to request Jax Teller x reader where the reader is being mistreated (how ever ur comfortable writing that) by a boyfriend and she escapes to the club house where Jax is there late one night, and he ends up taking care of her and comforting her. She tells him she broke things off & he ends up telling her how he feels and it's really fluffy? Or some variation of this.

Warnings: NSFW, smut.

Word Count: 2.3k

Author comments: First time writing for Jax and I don't know what the fuck I did. The story of my life. This work wasn't re-edited, so I'm sorry if you find grammar mistakes! I hope you all enjoy. Gif isn't mine, credits to the author.

Tag list: @starrynite7114 ​ @chibsytelford ​ @dazzledamazon ​ @mara-mpou ​ @sammskellington ​ @gemini0410 ​ @1-800-imagines ​ @briana-mishell24 ​@sassymox @whyisgmora @aquamento @sadeyesgf @viviansafizada @samcrobae @jade770 @witchy-wish @rebel-without-cause-x @xx--day-dreamer--xx @spiced-reads @tita127 @minnicelli ✨ (if you wanna be tagged, send me a message!)

When you want to realize, you're stopping dead the wheels of the car in front of the Teller Morrow workshop. Your eyes are filled with tears, running down your cheeks and getting mixed with the blood on your face. It hurts a lot, even the smallest movement you make with your face. There's a gap under your left eye, product of a hit that Larry gave you with one of his golden rings. He also broke your lower lip by a similar punch. You know that tomorrow it's going to be worst. But you can't handle it anymore. Every night is the same shit. Alcohol, drugs and take out his anger with you. 

The main door of the clubhouse gets opened. You stand close to your car, with a hand supported on the hood. Your cry stops for a second, watching Jax giving some slow steps towards you somewhat confused. When he notices the blood, he runs faster than never almost colliding with your body. Cupping your cheeks into his hands, the man has a quick look of your face, clicking his tongue before taking off his jacket to place it on your shoulders. You haven't noticed that you're wearing nothing but a long shirt. No pants, no shoes. Nothing. Jax lifts you up between his arms, letting you get a little relaxed knowing that you're already safe.

“What happened?” He asks without looking at you, and his jaw tightening.

You just shrug your shoulders in silence, while he leaves you over his bed. You're not trying to protect your boyfriend, you don't want to see him again after all the pain he provoked you. But seems pretty obvious what happened and why you ran away from your house. Jax have always been so kind and gentle with you, that you thought he was the one who could protect you. You met him almost six years ago, just by a coincidence, and you started to be friends since the first moment you impressed him talking about his bike. And of course, he never liked Larry, knowing the piece of trash he is.

“I'm sor—sorry. I didn't know whe—where to go”.

“Home. You're at home, okay?” He replies, leaning towards the mattress with a knee nailed in to leave a kiss on your forehead. “I'll be back in a second, don' move”.

You simply nod, trying to clean your tears and staining the back of your hands with some blood. Not much after, he comes back from the bathroom carrying some cotton, alcohol and stitches to fix you up. It hurts. The hydrogen peroxide in contact with your skin itches too much. And you're ashamed because of Jax is seeing you falling into pieces, even when he warned you about that guy and what he could do.

“I will leave by morning. Just… please, let me stay tonight”. You beg desperate, pulling away from him your gaze as soon as he finishes of putting the stitches. 

“You can stay here all the time you need. There are enough empty dorms. And I will take care of you, so Samcro will too”. Lifting up your face by two fingers under your chin, he forces you to look at him. “I'm gonna give you some clothes, so you can take a shower, okay?”

Helping you to get up from his bed, Jax lets you go barely a few seconds. Enough time to find another shirt and a pair of sweatpants. You take it from his hands, almost caressing it ephemerally, before walk into the bathroom closing the door behind your steps. The warm water finally relax your body, falling all around you from your hair to your toes. You know that the nightmare has ended and that your, now, ex-boyfriend is not going to bother you anymore. Although you can't help but feel somewhat restless, wrapping your body with a towel and sitting on the toilet, having a deep, deep breath. 

When you're ready, wearing the clothes that Jax gave you and having a last look in the mirror of your bruised face, you walk out of the bathroom. The man hangs up a call before you can hear anything he's talking about.

“Better?”

“Yes… Thank you”.

“This has to end, (Y/N)”.

You nod licking your lips, standing up close to the bed.

“Tomorrow Chibs, Happy and I will go with you to pick up your things. You can stay here, if you feel safe”. He sentences, knowing that you don't have any option, even if it's the best one. “I can't… see you again like that”.

“I'm sorry, Jax…” You say again, sitting slowly by his side.

“I'm being serious”.

“I know”.

“I told you”. 

Seems like he's getting desperate, rubbing his face with both hands and pulling away the short hair back to his nape. You can't help but hug him, wrapping his shoulders with both arms as you sink your face on his neck. It feels good. His smell is enough to make you lost all the fears that were running through your body, knowing that everything is going to get better. 

“That asshole doesn't deserve you. You're much more than a one-night-stand. You have to know it”. He mutters holding you a little more tightly.

“Ja—”

Before you can say anything else, not even a word, he lifts up your chin colliding your lips with his. Your heart jumps, racing faster than you could think. And it takes you some seconds to react, but you kiss him back. Slowly. So slowly, enjoying the taste of beer and cigars, while his nervous hands holds your hips wanting you closer if it's possible. When his tongue finds yours looks like an explosion inside your mouth. You were desiring it since you met him, and seems like he was feeling the same way. 

“Stay with me”.

One of his hands cups your cheek, tangling the tiptoes in some bristles close to you ear. His nose touching yours, eyes closed, drinking each other's breaths. 

“I want you to stay with me, lemme' make it up to you”. 

The mutter colliding in your lips makes you nod in silence. Running down his callous hands by your sides, Jax lifts up the Reaper Crew shirt to throw it somewhere, enjoying the views of your bristling nipples calling him. He leans forward to them catching one between his lips and the other with two fingers. One being bitten, the other being pinched. And a soft moan growing in your mouth. He knows exactly what to do, wetting it with his saliva and touring your skin with the tip of his tongue. His free hand travels down right to the waistband of your sweatpants, going under it to lightly touch your beaten clit needed for any kind of caresses. For Jax feels so good find you so wet, only for him. Something that he has been wanting so fucking bad since a long time ago. He curves his finger inside your pussy, slowly, trying to learn every single inch of it and its tightness. 

Your hips moving unconsciously looking for more friction when you feel how he is getting harder every second you're on top of him, gasping and begging for more whispering. After taking off his shirt, the man bites your lower lip, pulling away his finger from you just to make you lay down above the mattress. He finally undresses you, being exposed to his blue eyes getting darker and watching how he licks his lips.

“Touch you as I would do it”.

You don't say nothing, opening your legs for the SOA' president and placing them to both sides of his body kneeled on the bed. He's going to remember it his whole life, looking how he follows every move your right hand does. It goes down by your stomach before continuing for the pelvis. You can feel the heat that emanates from your thighs, when you dig a finger in your pussy. Yes, it's wetted like never before. And you start to jerk yourself off, maintaining his lustful gaze, somewhat faster than he did before. The first moan appears when you see him rubbing the lump on his crotch, so needed to feel it inside you.

“Fuck, Jackson…”

“You like it?”

“Yes… Yes…” You try to nod, going a little bit deeper, almost arching your back. “Can you… Can you… Hm… I want a second finger, please…”

“You got it, baby”. He answers hardening his tone.

And you step in another one, containing yourself of gasping too loud, not knowing if someone else is in the clubhouse. You pound your hot pussy imagining that is his cock, spreading more your legs to let Jax sees how much you want him. Your palm almost hitting your entrance, intensifying the uncontrollably sounds your vocals chords utter. You want a third one and a fourth one thrusting you, to compensate that it's not his hand, nor his dick, burning in pleasure and desire.

Jax frees himself of the jeans, showing you that huge erection with some veins marked in, making your mouth watering by imagine how it could feel pressing it to your throat and filling you completely till drown you. His long fingers moving his own sensitive skin from top to bottom, as fast as you're fingering your pussy. 

“Put a third one, baby”. He asks you licking his lower lip, not being able to raise the look of your hand.

You obey as the good girl you are, screaming out his name when you push it harder into you. You can't help but intensify the erratic move, provoking him to do the same. You're about to come, squeezing your legs over the sheets, when the older grabs your forearm to pull it away making you growl somewhat upset. 

“Lemme' taste you”.

You can't talk. You just nod in silence, watching how he lies down between your legs, putting his arms under them but nailing his hands on your abdomen. His tongue goes slow from your back entrance to the other, tasting and drinking your fluids until he reach your swollen clit. His beard gives you some tickles every time it touches your thighs. Jax gently bite that sensitive part of your body, tangling your wetted fingers in the blonde bristles.

“Cum in my mouth, (Y/N)”

Even if it's a petition, it finally sounds like a command, thrusting two fingers decorated by two gold rings under his tongue. Into you. 

“Fuck, Jax!” You cry out, pushing his face closer among your legs.

His tongue feels delicious, moving so fast around your entrance that you can't handle it for much more, while his fingers completes the next level of pleasure you have never felt before. Arching your back at the exact moment your anatomy shakes because of his mouth, he presses his nose against your skin touring your pussy to taste your cum. He can assure that he has never tried something better.

And the man doesn't let you any time to recover yourself, when he's already helping you to sit up.

“All in fours, my love”. He whispers close to your lips, before leaving a smooth kiss on them.

You do, turning your body to support your weight on your palms and knees. Chest resting above the pillow, spreaded legs and waist raised up. Positioning his body not fully naked among your thighs, Jax guides his dick all over your ass and pussy to tease you a little. You can hear the sound of a spittle, feeling it colliding to your entrances, and the saliva running down to the bed, knowing he's gonna fuck you without having to ask for it.

So he does. Nailing his hands on your hips almost hurting you, he digs his cock among your folds, making you scream with broken voice. Far away stayed the slow moves to make you feel loved, pounding you so hard that the headboard collides with the wall. Your moans getting tangled with his guttural growls wandering around the dorm. His lower abdomen hitting your ass once and again, resting your forehead on the pillow, as he goes deep into it. You want more. You couldn't be tired of his thrusts, being satisfied for the first time in years. 

Jax is so big. More than he wants to hide under his typical jeans. And it feel so good when you find yourself close to the edge again. The orgasm finds you some hard pounds after, crying loud his full name and making him smirk proud of it. 

“I want to cum in that delicious mouth yours, baby… Can I, uh?”

It's pretty fun how he has been giving you orders the whole time, to now ask you for something. How could you even say ‘no’? You raise a hand back to his chest, making him know that you want it too. Quickly, Jax pulls out his throbbing erection, jacking himself off while you lie on your back and he practically sits on your breasts. Taking your nape with his free hand, he lifts up your head until his red glans is above your open lips ready to receive his cum. You step out your tongue at the moment he finally fills your mouth with his hot seed, right to your throat. Jax has to slightly lean his neck back, cursing himself for not being able to see your face. But he does when you swallow his juices, before sucking his cock. Stealing him a loud moan, you press your wall with his glans, tasting the most sweet than bitter fluids on it, licking his skin with your tongue and wetting it with your saliva.

“Good girl, take it all”.

Leaving it there until an arcade appears, you feel one of his hands touching your pussy again, soaking it with your jizz before lying by your side. Then, he brings his fingers to your mouth, enjoying the way you have to lick them so calm and slow that you could make him fall into the ecstasy again. His lips finds yours, with that mix of alcohol and your delicious cums on your tongues.

Jax takes the advantage of get full undressed, before getting comfy close to you, with tired and short kisses traveling all around your face.

“Will you lemme take care of you?”

You nod in silence, trying to catch back your breathe and placing a shaky leg surrounding his waist. He caresses it with his right hand, putting the left arm under your neck to hold you closer.

“I love you, (Y/N)”. He mutters into your lips, drawing a goofy smile on the corner of your lips.

“I love you, Jax”.

Act of Betrayal

by Matthew Dunn

on Tour October 23 – November 30, 2017

Synopsis:

In this riveting entry in the celebrated thriller series, former intelligence operative Will Cochrane—a “ruthless yet noble” (Ft. Worth Star-Telegram) man from whom “Bond and Bourne could learn a thing or two” (Madison County Herald)—comes out of hiding to expose a conspiracy involving a past assassination that reaches to the highest echelons of the U.S. government.

Three years ago, intelligence officer Will Cochrane was brought in by a Delta Force colonel to assassinate a terrorist financier in Berlin. After the job, the commander vanished, and hasn’t been heard from since. The details don’t quite add up, and one of the CIA agents who was involved has been investigating the mission. He reaches out to Will for help, but before they can connect, the CIA man is poisoned.

Will is determined to uncover the truth about Berlin, even if it means putting himself in the crosshairs. Framed for multiple murders, the skilled former spy has gone deep underground to evade his enemies and the feds. But honor and loyalty to his old colleague thrust him into danger once again.

Read an excerpt:

IT WAS PAST midnight as wind and rain pounded the exterior of the tiny bookstore in Chicago. The store was closed and its owner was sitting at his desk checking the week’s receipts. The task wouldn’t take long—his store specialized in rare works that he sourced from around the world. He had some loyal customers, but they were few. This week seven people had made purchases.

The only light in the room came from his green desk lamp, old-fashioned in design to match the ambience of the shop. Aside from some electronic devices on his desk and recessed lights that cast a discreet yellow glow when turned on, the place looked like it could have been a purveyor of fine works established and un- changed since the eighteenth century. He’d constructed it that way: dark maple bookshelves; many of the books leather bound, all of them hardcover; two armchairs for customers to sit in when perusing potential acquisitions; an urn for his more discerning patrons who valued his loose-leaf tea collection; and a cage for his two lovebirds.

He was an old-fashioned guy at heart.

And though he could have done with more cash coming in, he’d deliberately established a business and identity that drew little attention. He playacted a shy man, his trimmed beard intended to put up barriers between him and others, his shoulders artificially stooped during the day as if he were ashamed of his six-foot-four physique, his cropped blond-and-gray hair functional because he had no woman in his life to impress, and his unneeded glasses covering one green eye, one blue. He was always in a smart three-piece suit because the attire was good at hiding his athletic frame and scars. Customers thought he was Edward Pope, a gentleman scholar from the South. They’d probably estimate his age was late forties. They’d be wrong about that and most other things. He’d led a hard life and was forty-five.

His name wasn’t Edward Pope.

It was Will Cochrane.

The assassin. The one Sapper and Kane were terrified of.

He wasn’t from the Deep South. He was raised in Virginia and earned a double first-class degree at England’s Cambridge University. And he’d been a bookseller for only under a year.

But he had to be Pope. In the eyes of the world, Will was a murderer. He’d killed people as a special forces French Foreign Legionnaire and assassinated targets in French intelligence black operations. He had been the West’s prime joint operative with the CIA and Britain’s MI6 for fourteen years, until he went crazy and killed a lot of cops and civilians in the States before throwing himself off the Brooklyn Bridge and dying.

His death was essential. He was America’s Most Wanted. He wasn’t what some thought of him—a psychopath. But he was a former special operative and killer. Had been all his adult life. It started when he was seventeen and walked in on four criminals suffocating his mother and about to kill his sister. His mother died; sister didn’t, because he grabbed his mother’s carving knife and ended the criminals’ lives before fleeing to the Legion. He wished he didn’t know how many people he’d killed since. It would be a lie. He knew every victim. Their souls lingered around him, taunting him, reminding him of who he was.

All 263 souls.

But the souls of the people they say he killed in the States didn’t hassle him.

Because he didn’t kill them. He never killed innocents, only those who needed to be killed.

But in the eyes of the law, that’s not the case and that’s why he had to fake his death and reinvent himself. A year ago, his situation was desperate, despite all of his training and covert operations experience in hostile countries. He’d received only one bit of help, but it was significant. Russia’s most formidable intelligence officer, code name Antaeus—now, thanks to Will, a defector living in the States—had cleverly managed to get $300,000 into Will’s pocket. Will didn’t know exactly why he’d done it. After all, Will had accidentally killed his family with a car bomb when in fact he’d intended only to kill the spy. But he suspected he knew why the Russian had become his benefactor: Antaeus wanted his generosity to plunge the knife that was Will’s guilt deeper.

Regardless of Antaeus’s motives, the cash helped set up Will’s new life.

Will’s family and close acquaintances were all dead. He’d be given the needle if cops found out who he was. The West he’d served with unflinching duty had hung him out to dry. He thought of himself as a scavenging dog, kicked out of its owner’s backyard and left to fend for itself. He was resigned to that, every day expecting the Feds to rush into his store and put a bullet in his skull. That’s what they’d do. No attempt to arrest. No negotiations. Execution only. Will wouldn’t blame them. They knew he’d cause carnage if given the slightest of chances.

He finished his accounts, took a swig of Assam tea, and frowned as he heard the female lovebird make an unusual sound. Like her male companion, she resembled a small parrot, her plumage green and yellow, face and beak red, large eyes pure white with black pupils. He’d taken the birds off the hands of an old lady who frequented his store. Her son, a merchant marine officer, had brought them back from exotic climes, though she couldn’t remember where because she was suffering from dementia. And she could no longer look after them, particularly now that the male had broken his wing. Will hated seeing animals in cages. But the female wouldn’t leave the male’s side. And for the time being, the male had to be kept in the cage until he was fully recuperated. Then Will would release them to a large aviary or the wild.

Their previous owner couldn’t remember their names, so Will called the male Ebb and the female Flo. Flo was now agitated, hopping about as opposed to what she usually did, which was nestling her face against that of her lover. Will opened the cage, knowing Flo wouldn’t go anywhere while Ebb was there. The former special operative bowed his head. Ebb was all wrong, flopping on the base of the cage, his good wing twitching, his broken one immobile. Will knew he was dying and there was nothing he could do about it. What goes through a bird’s brain? He didn’t know. And he didn’t know whether lovebirds were in fact lifelong lovers or if that was a myth. But Will knew how he felt. He had to give Flo closure, let her be free, not allow her to think there was hope that Ebb would return to her. Gently he lifted Ebb. His body was warm but now limp. He carried him to the store’s backyard. Flo followed him. Will had hoped she would.

Will looked at Flo, who was perched close by on the branch of a tree. She was watching. It seemed she and Will didn’t know what to do.

“I have to let you know this is the end,” Will said to her. Actually, he was saying it to himself.

He snapped Ebb’s neck and buried him.

Flo looked at him before flying into the darkness. As tears ran down his face, he wondered if she hated him. Or maybe she understood. Of course, he’d never know.

He returned to his desk and stared at the birdcage. After brushing soil off his fingers, he looked at his laptop and saw he had a new e-mail. Nobody sent him mail apart from spammers.

But this one was different. And shocking. It was from CIA officer Unwin Fox, the man who, alongside Will, had been one of those involved in the Berlin operation. Aside from Colonel Haden, Will didn’t know who the other people on the small team were.

His heart was beating fast as he read the mail. Its tone was desperate. There was no way Fox could know that Will was alive. Something was terribly wrong. Fox wanted to meet. Tomorrow. In Washington, D.C.

In all probability it was a trap. Lure Will out, then bam! Swooped on by cops. But then again, Will knew what happened in Berlin. The law didn’t. This would have been far too implausible a tactic to entrap him.

What to do?

He looked at the lovebirds’ empty cage. The door was open. He glanced at the entrance to his store.

What to fucking do?

He opened the drawer in his desk, pulled out his handgun, grabbed his bag containing all he needed if he ever had to run, and left.

He knew he’d never return.

Ziggy Monarrez manages Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers for a working day

As dusk fell on a Saturday in late June, thousands of enthusiasts waved the flashlights on their cellphones inside Dodger Stadium. The organist played “The Legend of Zelda” topic song as Dodgers manager Dave Roberts walked out of the dugout and toward the owner’s seats powering home plate.

It was the center of the sixth inning Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw experienced just thrown his 103rd pitch, keeping a 4- direct over the viewing Rockies. Roberts leaned over the waist-substantial gate and motioned for his co-manager, eleven-12 months-outdated Lazaro “Ziggy” Monarrez. Using the hand controls of his motorized wheelchair, Ziggy moved his chair forward numerous ft, passing previous Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda and two security guards.

“I am wondering of using Kershaw out now. What do you imagine?” Roberts questioned Ziggy.

“Yeah,” Ziggy replied.

“We’re gonna go to [Brandon] Morrow, to [Pedro] Baez, to [Kenley] Jansen, Ok?” Roberts said. “And we are gonna win. All suitable, Skip?” (Real buy was Morrow, Baez, then Sergio Romo.)

“Of course,” Ziggy said.

When Lazaro “Ziggy” Monarrez arrived at Dodger Stadium, the whole stadium look at exceeded his anticipations. “It is really ginormous,” the eleven-12 months-outdated said. Patrick T. Fallon for ESPN

The pitching transform labored in just Ziggy’s lineup, which he experienced stored in his cellphone. He experienced started out operating on the lineup a week in the past and experienced subsequently shuffled his batting buy numerous situations. Ziggy knew that Kershaw, his all-time preferred participant, would begin. Still, he experienced determined minutes in advance of the impromptu managers’ conference that the previous National League MVP, who experienced struck out 8 batters by means of 6 innings, may need to arrive out of the video game.

“You definitely are the co-manager, usually are not you?” said his mother, Araceli, as they settled in to view Franklin Gutierrez pinch strike for Kershaw.

Ziggy’s work as co-manager experienced started out at two:25 p.m. as he arrived outside of Great deal D at Dodger Stadium. Together with his mother, his sister, Alex, and his grandma, Esther Gomez, he experienced flown from their home in El Paso to Los Angeles courtesy of the Make-A-Would like Basis, a nonprofit that grants wishes to children with life-threatening conditions.

Months earlier, Ziggy experienced narrowed his likely wish to two decisions: deal with his beloved Dodgers or go to a pair of the world’s largest and most powerful telescopes in Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Ziggy hopes to work as a NASA astrophysicist just one working day, so the telescope viewing was tempting.

In the end, while, Ziggy selected his first appreciate, the Dodgers. And L.A. was thankful — underneath his co-tutelage, the crew held on to that 4- direct and grew to become the first NL crew to reach fifty wins.

“This is our 12 months,” Ziggy said in the course of the night time. “Our 12 months to win it all.”

As Ziggy was staying stretched in advance of the video game, his sister, Alex, hopped up on the table far too. For fun, Alex began poking him and keeping her arms up straight. “I have a zombie sister!” Ziggy said, laughing. Patrick T. Fallon for ESPN

When Ziggy was about eight months outdated, Araceli discovered that her son could not stand up, even with help, and that his fingers normally shook. A actual physical therapist, Araceli experienced tracked his expansion closely, guaranteeing he checked off the key milestones.

When she advised the medical professional at Ziggy’s 12-month checkup, the medical professional examined Ziggy’s tongue. It was trembling as perfectly. The pediatrician purchased numerous blood exams, which verified what he now hypothesized: Ziggy experienced spinal muscular atrophy, a genetic ailment impacting the manage of muscle mass movement.

One in just about every six,000 to 10,000 men and women in the U.S. establish SMA. There are four principal styles of SMA Ziggy has Type two, characterized by muscle mass weak spot and a life expectancy of fifty to 70 decades. Small children with Type two SMA are not able to stroll or stand with out help, while they can normally sit unaided and feed by themselves. Ziggy has never been equipped to stroll (he now has a wheelchair that can grow to a standing posture), but it hasn’t stopped him from pursuing his appreciate of baseball.

Ziggy, with mother, Araceli, remaining sister, Alex and grandmother Esther has been a Dodgers fan due to the fact beginning. “It is really in my blood,” he said. Patrick T. Fallon for ESPN

“It was tough that he wasn’t heading to be equipped to stroll and participate in baseball because that was just one of the items we all did,” Araceli suggests. “I played softball in substantial school and Alex was taking part in T-ball. But after we processed that, you glance at the beneficial facet. He is heading to be equipped to explain to us his needs, his demands. He is a wise boy, and that is regular for young children with [Type two] SMA. When he was small, I discovered he would pick up on items really quickly, and I imagined, maybe it truly is because when all the other young children are discovering their entire world — crawling and going for walks and these other items — what is Ziggy performing? He is discovering. He is observing.”

Ziggy also smiled and laughed a large amount. He is the family members jokester, even poking fun at the truth that he are not able to stroll. He enjoys taking part in video online games, primarily “Simply call of Responsibility three” and “Minecraft.” Math is his preferred school subject he just cruised by means of pre-algebra. He enjoys to research room as normally as he can. And, of class, he follows the Dodgers daily, examining stats, gamers and trades with his father and viewing online games on his cellphone.

Really a “life span wish” arrive true for Ziggy. “I imagine this has produced much more self esteem in him that he definitely can do anything at all that he needs to do — that his wishes could arrive true,” his mother, Araceli, said. Patrick T. Fallon for ESPN

When Ziggy enjoys school, he has to research at home from December by means of March to steer clear of catching the flu. His weaker muscular tissues suggest he are not able to cough and very clear his lungs as successfully, so pneumonia is just one of his largest chance factors. Or else, his daily program starts a large amount like other young children: He brushes his tooth and feeds himself, but he demands assist finding dressed. Unlike most young children, just about every number of several hours in the course of the working day, he demands to be stretched, and Ziggy also demands to stand or lie down just about every two several hours.

“Glance at that, Ziggy!” Araceli said, as they arrived at Roberts’ workplace in advance of the video game. A nameplate on the door, printed in blue ink, read, ‘LAZARO “ZIGGY” MONARREZ, CO-Manager, Los Angeles Dodgers.”

“Is this my co-manager?” Roberts questioned. “Arrive on in.”

After Roberts achieved Ziggy’s family members, the duo settled down to small business.

“I hope your lineup has No. 22 pitching tonight,” Roberts said. “Let’s see what we received.”

Ziggy read his lineup from his cellphone as Roberts nodded alongside: Chase Utley at 2nd, [Joc] Pederson in heart, Yasiel Puig in suitable. At his mention of [Franklin] Gutierrez in remaining, Roberts paused. “We’re heading to have to communicate about that just one we will discussion, because that is what co-supervisors do,” Roberts said.

After finalizing the lineup, Roberts handed Ziggy a new Dodgers jersey. ‘ZIGGY’ was printed in large letters on the back, above the No. 22.

“Which is awesome,” Ziggy said.

Ziggy shadowed Roberts in the crew dining space — wherever he achieved Kershaw briefly — the bullpen, the pounds space and batting cages. Then they headed to the subject for Dodgers BP, wherever he and his family members achieved Andre Ethier (Araceli’s preferred participant), Puig, Baez and previous-Dodger-turned-announcer Fernando Valenzuela, aka El Toro.

Just in advance of video game time, Ziggy went on to the subject along with Roberts to exchange lineup cards and meet up with the officiating crew. As the countrywide anthem began, sung by actress Holly Robinson Peete, Ziggy sat at notice on the 3rd-foundation line, hat in hand across his upper body. His graphic flashed on the display screen as Peete sang the lyrics, “home of the brave.”

When the instant arrived for the famed Vin Scully opening line, Ziggy sat atop home plate, microphone in hand. “It is really time for Dodger baseball!” he yelled as the group cheered.

Ziggy and his family members sat in the 3rd row powering home plate, just one row up from Lasorda. Ziggy compensated shut notice in the course of the video game, filming gradual-movement video clips of the Dodgers’ offense and of Kershaw’s pitches. “His pitch count is really substantial, but he’s continue to performing perfectly,” Ziggy noticed of Kershaw in the center of the fourth inning.

In the base of the fifth, when questioned about the working day consequently significantly, Ziggy seemed close to. “This is the all-time No. one coolest thing that I have completed,” Ziggy said. “The only thing that could best this is if pigs flew and it started out raining bananas.”

As “Consider Me Out to the Ballgame” concluded in the seventh inning, Lasorda exited the ballpark, stopping to say goodbye to Ziggy. “See you soon, and bear in mind, the Dodgers — that is your crew,” Lasorda said. “You might be performing a good work.”

Just a further working day at the workplace for Ziggy, as he and Roberts yuck it up with the umpires and Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black. Patrick T. Fallon for ESPN

In the course of the eighth inning, Ziggy and his family members entered a guest space beneath the stadium and the Dodgers media personnel said there was a further shock. As they sat, waiting around, Kershaw walked in, his remaining arm wrapped with bandages and ice packs right after pitching.

“What is actually up, guy? How you doin’?” Kershaw said, as Ziggy grinned back. The two talked about Texas life [Kershaw is a Dallas native], the Dodgers and pitching mechanics.

“Do you have any queries for me?” Kershaw questioned Ziggy.

“How do you throw your 12-six curve?”

When questioned about his managerial model, Ziggy answered, “Let’s just say I am [Tommy] Lasorda model.” Listed here he receives to meet up with the previous Dodgers manager. Patrick T. Fallon for ESPN

Kershaw walked Ziggy by means of the shipping and delivery, demonstrating him wherever to place his center finger on the ball. “And then you just allow it go, like you happen to be shakin’ somebody’s hand,” Kershaw said. “It is really that basic.”

The two made designs to capture up in Dallas in the fall, wherever Ziggy has twice-a-12 months appointments at the Children’s Medical center. Kershaw remaining and Ziggy and his family members returned to their seats to view the game’s remaining innings.

As he waited around the dugout to join the postgame substantial-five line, a Dogers media consultant gave Ziggy guidelines. “Hold out alongside the 3rd foundation line, and we will allow you know when to go,” she said. But as soon as the gamers walked toward each individual other, Ziggy sped on to the subject, a big grin on his face. “Awesome work, Skip. You might be one-!” Roberts said as he substantial-fived Ziggy. Ziggy greeted each individual participant with substantial-fives and handshakes as he moved down the line.

“Ever due to the fact he was small, he’s often been a really beneficial, happy child,” Araceli suggests. “When he was youthful, he’d communicate about all the items he desired to do, and even while he are not able to stroll and he are not able to do items on his personal, he’s often experienced that beneficial perspective — and it truly is contagious.”

Ziggy experienced just one question for Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw: How do you throw your 12-six curve? Kershaw was happy to present him. Patrick T. Fallon for ESPN

After the gamers experienced cleared the subject, Ziggy remained, sitting down around home plate. He was fatigued and sore, but he wasn’t ready to leave. He maneuvered his chair, slowly but surely, using a whole 360-degree switch and gazing at the sky, the stands and the subject.

“When Ziggy was small, he advised us that he desired to be a manager for the Dodgers just one working day,” Araceli said afterward. “Carrying out this — it wasn’t just a wish that he questioned for from Make-A-Would like, it was also a life span wish. I imagine this has produced much more self esteem in him that he definitely can do anything at all that he needs to do — that his wishes could arrive true.”

Perspective

Driving home today in the rain, the skies overhead darkened as the hours passed. Everything in front of me looked bleak. It was very easy to think that all of my best experiences were behind me already - and I was driving away from them, and into a future of dark surprises, none of them good.

I know that my attitude is a function of my thinking. Change the thinking, change the attitude. I don’t want to feel this irritable and upset, but I’m holding on to it almost as if it protects me. It feels like to let down, to let it go, is to become vulnerable, exploitable, and ultimately used. I know, it may be garden variety paranoia, but it feels very real.

This is not sustainable. I cannot live another year like this, let alone the rest of my life. I’m not willing to sacrifice so much for so little - and no, I’m not talking about “compensation” so much as the meaningless trivial pursuits with which we fill our day. It’s not a wonder that the architecture of banks has come to resemble that of churches - they’re both houses of worship.

What I want - what I need - is a job to pay the bills that doesn’t drain me, and then to focus my time on the things that actually matter: family, friends, community, building people up, teaching, sharing and being a person first, not a walking job description. Even though I wear a suit, I sometimes feel like the dignity in this job (like during team meetings) is a little lower than the guys dressed like the Statue of Liberty waving portable “Get your taxes done here!” signs.

‘Pon the morrow, I shall once again don my grey flannel armor, mount my steed, and travel off to faraway lands - to sit, be talked at, be scrutinized, demoralized, and fed hotel food for lunch. Then our masters will tell us how lucky we have it, when all I want to say is, “There is no such thing as a well-adjusted slave.”

But then - there’s you.

I come home to a warm home, filled with smells of wonderful food, and kisses from you. Your smile never fails to melt me. I wish I could transition more quickly. But I get there - with music, merriment, and meaning - my mood shifts because this is real. This is important. This is life. And if this is my life, then I can live it a little longer.

Thank you for dinner. Thank you welcoming me home. You give me the strength to return to myself and let go of the day, that I might rest, and face it again tomorrow.

Maybe I’ll yet find some color in front of me.
