Family: Uchiha.

I recreated this family first, ages ago, pretty much when Konoha was still empty. <3 it’s probably no surprise if you know me even a little (I mean, I use them in my previews too nowadays xD that’s how much I love them.)

I first created Sasuke and Sayuri in Belladonna Cove for the heck of it, but then I got really attached, especially to their kids. Back then (2014ish), my ACOH story was also not all that developed past their 20s, but playing their sims inspired me a lot, and the kids they had became their kids in my story too (well, only the first three, cause come on, eight kids?!) I literally let their sims guide my writing. <3

Since I wrote little Sim/story profiles for them, I posted them separately first, but here’s the all at once post. :D

This is like the first time I ever do this, but I really wanted to try, so sorry if I’m confusing!

Uchiha Sayuri, previously Amamiya, is first, cause why not? She’s one of the main OCs. Self insert originally, too, so I’m a little biased. :D

Sayuri never really fit into the Ninja world. Something about the occupation always rubbed her the wrong way. She knew she was born in a Ninja village to a Ninja family, but was that really all there was? Was her destiny really to fight and kill? She refused that. It took many years, and some friends in high places, but with effort and stubbornness, Sayuri got people to follow her dream and make it a reality: a village where kids could be kids, without the pressure of the Ninja world on their shoulders, where they have a choice and can make their own way. A place where she would want her own kids to grow up.

Nowadays, Sayuri is the head of the Diplomacy department of Konoha’s government. A skilled negotiator who is not afraid to get in the thick of it, she’s solved many situations that could have ended far worse. She gets personally involved, though, which takes its toll. But she can’t help it– this is how she is. She wouldn’t be so good at it otherwise.

Sayuri is a family sim with a pleasure secondary. Her zodiac is Cancer, with a personality of 5/4/5/5/6. She’s relatively in-the-middle there for someone as revolutionary as her, but despite being kinda shy, she’s also VERY stubborn and willing to fight for her dreams/goals/whatever.

Traits: Family oriented, nurturing, over-emotional, bookworm, and terrible cook.

Turn ons: black hair, logical (may have been influenced a little over the years she was married to Sasuke… xD). Turn offs: bad at cooking that should be a turn off, ugh! Right now, it’s robots, because there’s no such thing, yet! I can never find turn offs that actually make sense.

Sasuke is next, this is my attempt at explaining what he is like in my story?

Sasuke spent 10 years living a life that wasn’t his, pursuing a goal that was forced on him by his brother, Itachi. When he came out on the other side, he couldn’t recognise himself anymore– not the person he was before the whole thing started, not the person he had become over the years. He had nothing left but a hollowness inside that scared him. But he was wrong, and there were people who were there to show him that. As soon as he saw in himself something good that could become bigger, he grabbed it with both of his hands and never let go.

Nowadays, he’s the Head of Shield, a team of elite ninja, chosen only by him and the Hokage. They’re the very best for a reason. Each and every one of them are experts in their field and they normally go on the most dangerous missions, and come back alive. That must say something! Due to his position, Sasuke also has a seat on the council. Though he clearly cares about his position and the village itself, Sasuke would prefer to stay out of harm’s way most of the time… so he can come back home to his family at the end of the day.

Random facts: the name ‘Shield’ was chosen by the Hokage, Naruto, at the time. It’s inspired by a word he heard while visiting the Cloud village. Also, ‘dangerous’ isn’t the same as it used to be 10-20 years ago.

Sasuke is a family sim, too, with a knowledge secondary. His zodiac is Leo, with a personality of 7/4/8/3/5 (mostly head-canon, really). He’s a bit of a clean freak and his active personality is literally his core.

Traits: Athletic, disciplined, brave (a condition for his job), social disaster, natural cook.

Turn ons: fitness, creative. Turn offs: fat.

Kaito is the eldest and the only boy in the family besides Sasuke. I admit I was delighted their first kid was a boy. :D

Kaito is a genius. Everybody knows that. He’s “perfect” in every way (ask his fangirls), and so he should be, he’s an Uchiha after all. Kaito sees it a different way though, he just wants to be left alone, so he can read his books and do his ninja training and hang out with his friends and figure himself out. Everybody is in such a hurry to put him on a pedestal...

Kaito is a teenager (15 story-time), so he has only one aspiration, knowledge. His zodiac is Aries, with a personality of 5/4/7/3/7. He was born in game and everything was copied over, although originally I had Sayuri encourage him to be nicer, so that was copied over as well. He’s hell of a lot like Sasuke, personality wise, but his attitude towards people is more like Sayuri’s. xD

Traits: Genius, brave (from Sasuke), terrible cook (from Sayuri). Teens in my game will have only three traits, get another one as YA, and last one as adults.

Turn ons: athletic, brown hair. Turn offs: jewellery.

Mikoto got her name from Sasuke’s mother, because she was born with her eyes (grey which is lighter than Sasuke’s.) It’s mostly not a thing to name your kids after your parents (with some clan exceptions), but meh.

Right from the start, there was one thing that stood out about Mikoto: her unending care for others. Even as a young child, she would take care of her friends and her little sister, watching over them as if she were their mother. She got more into art as she grew, and she loves painting. She doesn’t really know what she wants to do with her life, you know? She’s only 13 after all! She still has two years before she has to decide whether to go to Ninja school or the Academic one, and she’s going to take her time figuring it out.

Mikoto is a child in the sims, despite being 13 story-time (I kinda figure Teen stage starts at 15), so her aspiration is still to grow up. Her zodiac is Aquarius, with a personality of 4/5/5/5/6. Again, born in game and everything was copied. She’s obviously a lot like Sayuri with the whole in-the-middle thing.

Traits: nurturing (from Sayuri), artistic.

Hikari was born in the middle of the night, when Sasuke and Sayuri caught a glimpse of a falling star just before Sayuri went into labor (that actually happened in my game, I’ll add a link to the picture when the archive actually works -_-). Anyway, I’m a bit of a cliche, so obviously she got her name from the stars lighting up the night sky. XD

Hikari is not like Kaito and Mikoto. She’s not unsure, she’s not confused. She knows exactly what she wants: to be a ninja, of course, so she can be as strong as her father, or even more! so what if she’s just 10 and has plenty of time to make up her mind?

Hikari’s aspiration is to grow up in the sims, since she’s still a child. Her zodiac is Cancer, with a personality of 5/3/8/4/5. She got her active trait from Sasuke and her shyness from Sayuri. :D born in game, copied faithfully as always.

Traits: Shy, athletic (from Sasuke).

Bonus: The cats!

From right (sitting cat) to left: Kuro, Kurona and Ryoma.

Sasuke found Kuro on a dark, rainy night when he was just a kitten. He never cared for animals all that much, but when their eyes met, he couldn’t just leave him be, either. Kuro had the kind of eyes that reminded him of his own, at the time-- aloof, independent, but also lonely and lost. So he took him in for the night. That was when he was 17. Needless to say, Kuro stayed. But Kuro came with his own dark past and his own troubles... he’s a ninja cat, after all!

Fun fact: Kuro means Black in Japanese. That’s how creative his name is! Sasuke’s idea.

It was again a dark, rainy night when… ok no, it was a sunny weekend day, when Sasuke and Sayuri were 21, that Kuro came running in frantically and begged (by meowing, a lot) for them to come with him. When they arrived at the destination, they found a pregnant white cat, but she seemed sick. They took her to the animal hospital, who decided to get her kittens out ASAP. Luckily, everybody survived. The kittens were given homes, and the pretty white cat, well… Kuro got attached to her, so Sasuke and Sayuri ended up taking her in, too. Need I mention she’s also a ninja cat?

Fun fact: Kurona was given her name because, well, there’s Kuro, so if we add na (supposedly, a short for nya, which is the sound cats make in Japanese), you get Kurona. It was Sasuke’s idea

Ryoma is their son. He was a part of a litter of four, but the other three were given away because there was just too much chaos at home and Sasuke couldn’t stand it. There was some whining and crying from the children, who were all old enough to understand what was happening, but what had to be done was done. For some odd reason, though, Sasuke decided to keep Ryoma... the hyper, wild kitten!

Funny fact: He got his name from a character in Prince of Tennis. Yep. No story reason there. XD (the other kittens were named Ryoga, Nana, and Kana. Two males, two females. :D)

A note on ninja cats for interested people: they’re not like normal cats. Their lifespan is much longer (closer to humans), even though their ability to breed is similar to normal cats– basically, they can breed as soon as normal cats, but they lose that ability the older they get (halfway through their life). As always, females sooner than males. Another thing is that they do understand the human language, and they can also talk! That said, both Kuro and Kurona escaped from their ninja village before they actually learned to talk, so neither of them can. They do understand the human language though, as they’re taught that sooner than to actually talk it. They can also read it, but not write.

Who owns Goli Gummies?

Unfortunately the official website does not say much about goli nutrition. It is unclear where the company is based apart from being somewhere in the United States. No information about the company or the people involved with goli nutrition is available on the official website. This is not untypical of the faceless online world.

The slick online marketing of this company which pushed goli to no.1 spot on amazon best seller list indicates a professional company with marketing budget –

But it is all a little mysterious.

Do you remember when bottled water was released?

Well the gummy marketing is a bit like a man running through the street naked whooping and and hollering with a bottle of water raised above his head.

It is easy to get caught up in the hype but let’s take a deeper look.

Remember to read the round up of expert and customer reviews at the end it is insightful.

but first come with me while I guide you through the maze of of truth and half truth so you get the real information you need.

What Are The Benefits Of Goli Gummies?

There are numerous claimed benefits you can experience when supplementing with Goli Gummies. These benefits include:

Appetite control and weight loss

Reduction in blood sugar levels

Improved complexion

Better digestion

More energy

A stronger heart

Body detoxification

Improved immune system

To verify the claimed benefits we are going to have to look more closely at the ingredients used, and how the gummies actually work.

Helps digestion www.verywellhealth.com “ACV enjoys a fairly popular reputation for enhancing digestion. The rationale is that ACV enhances the secretion of digestive enzymes and increases stomach acid, both of which would help you to optimally digest the food you have eaten. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of scientific evidence to back this theory”

Improves your complexion. www.realsimple.com Dr Gathers “While it may be helpful for some people’s skin issues, it’s important to know there haven’t been any good studies to support the claims people make about using ACV as a skin treatment.”

www.refinery29.com. Dr. Fichtel and Dr. Mack both Dr. Fichtel and Dr. Mack both stress that those with extremely sensitive skin will do better avoiding ACV altogether. “I would not recommend this for patients with sensitive or dry skin,” Dr. Mack says. “Due to its acidic nature, malic acid is innately irritating. People who have very dry skin, eczema, or even facial redness or rosacea may experience flare-ups of their conditions and are more likely to develop a contact allergy.”

Helps detoxify your body Mary Wirtz, R.D.N., L.D.N., of the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program “It’s important to remember that with these fads—these crazes—there’s a lot of unknowns,” adds Wirtz, “and people fail to realize that these things can actually harm your body.” Vinegar can irritate the lining of your throat, stomach and digestive tract, especially when taken on an empty stomach, and may create acid reflux-like symptoms. Plus, there’s no evidence that frequent use is safe long-term.

Enhances energy. Scientificamerican.com “The effect of vinegar on your metabolism is so modest that it is unlikely to result in noticeable weight loss unless it is combined with other strategies, such as eating less”

What are the Ingredients of a Goli Gummy?

Apple cider vinegar (5% acetic acid) Organic Beetroot Organic Pomegranate Vitamin B9 folic acid Vitamin B12

How Do Goli Gummies Work For Weight Loss?

The main ingredient of Goli Gummies is apple cider vinegar, which contains acetic acid.

Acetic acid is a short-chain fatty acid that dissolves into acetate and hydrogen within your body.

When consumed acetic acid can help promote weight loss. Let’s look at the various ways that it can aid your weight loss efforts:

1. Increases Fullness and Reduces Calorie Intake

Apple cider vinegar promotes fullness, which will help to reduce your calorie intake it does this by slowing down the rate that food leaves your stomach.

2. Reduction In Body Fat and Weight Loss

Adding just 1-2 tablespoons daily can help with your weight loss efforts. It can also help you to drop body fat. Although scientific findings are mixed regarding weight loss.

Other health benefits of apple cider vinegar include:

Lower blood sugar and insulin levels

Improved insulin sensitivity

Lower fasting blood sugar

Improved polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) symptoms

Lower cholesterol levels

Reduced blood pressure

Helps to kill harmful bacteria and viruses

Goli Gummy Side Effects

There are very few side effects associated with Goli Gummies, especially if they are used in moderation.

It is possible to have too much of a good thing, however.

Too much ACV can cause side effects such as:

1. Delayed Stomach Emptying

One of the benefits of ACV is that it delays the rate that your stomach empties, but this can be an issue for certain people. Such as those with gastroparesis, a common condition in people who suffer with type 1 diabetes.

Those who suffer from this condition will encounter other issues such as heartburn, bloating and nausea.

2. Low Potassium Levels and Bone Loss

It has been suggested that taking ACV in high doses can cause low potassium levels, as well as osteoporosis. A condition that can cause brittle bones.

In the one reported case doctors suggested that these side effects were caused by the high doses of apple cider vinegar leaching the vital minerals from the bones.

3. Erosion of Tooth Enamel

The most common side effect of ACV, and one that you are unlikely to face if you choose to use the gummies is the erosion of your tooth enamel.

ACV contains acetic acid that can damage your teeth, with studies showing a 1-20% loss of minerals from your teeth in just 4 hours

Because of these side effects it is always advisable to stick with the recommended dosage, and however tempting it is to take more than the recommended amount to speed up the results, I would advise you not to.

Doing so could lead to side effects and long-term harm.

Price Comparison Of Popular Apple Cider Products

Goli ACV Gummy $19 for 500mg (60 gummies)

ACV by Diet Works $8.94 for 500mg ACV (90 capsules)

Havasu ACV Diet Pills $16.95 for 500mg (60 pills)

Natures Bounty ACV $9 for 480mg (200 tablets)

Goli Gummy FAQs

Here are some commonly asked questions about Goli Gummies:

Are Goli Gummies FDA Approved?

While not FDA approved, they are manufactured in an FDA registered, cGMP certified, Kosher and allergen-free facility.

This means that the highest manufacturing techniques have been used and that your safety is paramount.

Can you take to many Goli Gummies?

Yes

500 mg is equivalent to two liquid teaspoons (10 ml)

15 to 30 ml is recommended for weight loss when used in liquid form.

For weight loss it is probably unwise to take more than 1500 mg or 3 gummies.

Be aware that 500mg is a common dose in ACV dedicated supplements.

What is the recommended amount of Goli Gummies to take?

1 gummy equals 500mg of ACV. Two liquid teaspoons (30 ml) of ACV are equivalent to 1500 mg of ACV in capsule form. According to respected sources including “healthline.com”” and “livestrong.com” You should not take more than 2 teaspoons per day which is equivalent to 3 gummies per day (1500 mg per day)

The supplement instructions “We recommend that adults take 2-6 gummies a day”

We caution using the above dose although the above recommendations of 2 teaspoons (3 gummies 1 gummy at 500mg) are based on the liquid form and take into account tooth decay 2 tea spoons still remains the recommended dose according to independent sources.

According to livestrong.com

“….Apple cider vinegar is not a dietary supplement or medicine. For this reason, there are no set recommendations on how much you should take. Most health experts and organizations, including Harvard Health, suggest taking 1 or 2 teaspoons before or during your meals…..”

Healthline says…

“….The research that currently exists suggests that 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) per day of liquid apple cider vinegar diluted in water appears to be safe and have health benefits….”

How Much Weight Can You Lose With Apple Cider Vinegar In A Week?

The most scientific findings say ACV does not help with weight loss with some exceptions.

US National Library of Medicine

“During the 12-week treatment period, the subjects in each group ingested 500 ml daily of a beverage containing either 15 ml of vinegar (750 mg AcOH), 30 ml of vinegar (1,500 mg AcOH), or 0 ml of vinegar (0 mg AcOH, placebo). Body weight, BMI, visceral fat area, waist circumference, and serum triglyceride levels were significantly lower in both vinegar intake groups than in the placebo group. In conclusion, daily intake of vinegar might be useful in the prevention of metabolic syndrome by reducing obesity”

How Do You Protect Your Teeth With Apple Cider Vinegar?

There are a few methods you can use to protect your teeth when using ACV. One of the best ways is to:

Dilute the apple cider vinegar in water. Roughly 1-2 tablespoons of water with 8 ounces of water.

Drink the mixture using a straw to minimise contact with your teeth.

Make sure to rinse your mouth with water to wash away any remaining ACV.

Finally, do not brush your teeth immediately after consumption.

Of course, you could always use the gummies instead.

Do Apple Cider Vinegar Pills Work As Well As The Liquid?

Pills and gummies can both offer the same benefits as the liquid, but without the damage caused to your teeth. However gummies contain added ingredients, calories and sugar compared to plane capsules.

This makes them a much more appealing option for anyone looking to lose weight, who do not want to damage their teeth in the process.

Consuming apple cider vinegar in pill form also ensures you are not having to taste the vinegar itself, which is not a very nice taste if we are being honest here.

Do Apple Cider Vinegar Pills Make You Poop?

Unfortunately, there are some users who have reportedly suffered diarrhoea after using ACV.

Apple cider contains pectin that comes from fermented apples. It is a dietary fibre that acts as a natural gelling agent.

Pectin helps to form the stool and promotes the growth of good bacteria. However, if too much apple cider vinegar is consumed then water can be pulled from your bowel, leading to a stool that is more watery.

Should I Take Apple Cider Vinegar Pills Before Or After Meals?

I would recommend taking the Goli Gummies after your meal. It has been reported that taking the supplement on an empty stomach can cause nausea.

Pros And Cons Of Goli Gummy

Let’s look at the pros and cons of Goli Gummies:

Pros

The taste of Goli Gummies receives positive reviews

Gummies are an option for vegans

ACV may lower your cholesterol

Attractive packaging

Does not contain gelatin

With every order the give 6 months vitamins to a child with malnutrition

Cons

Contains more sugar than other ACV products

Contains more calories and carbs than other ACV products

Very expensive compared to other ACV supplements

Fails to mention possible side effects

The 30 day guarantee is obtuse it does not make clear if you can use supplement and still return it.

What The Experts Say About Goli Gummy

BBC Good food Guide

““Apple cider vinegar doesn’t really contain any vitamins or minerals, other than a very small amount of potassium, calcium and magnesium. There isn’t enough research at the moment to demonstrate that buying the ‘mother’ variety is any better for you than buying filtered. However, apple cider vinegar does also contain amino acids and antioxidants.” BBC Good Food Guide

US National Library of Medicine

“Increased intake of dietary carbohydrate that is fermented in the colon by the microbiota has been reported to decrease body weight, although the mechanism remains unclear.” U.S. National Library of Medicine

Sarah Flower, respected nutrition expert

“Drinking four teaspoons of vinegar before a high-carb meal helped to prevent blood sugar spikes. And if you’re counting your calories, research found that acetic acid stops your body from absorbing the calories from carbs.” Sarah Flower, respected nutrition expert.

Rhiannon Lambert, Harley Street is a prestigious location for top medical practitioners in London, UK

“The largest and most cited study I’ve found with regards to weight loss and apple cider vinegar included 175 Japanese, overweight, but otherwise healthy subjects. Over three months, they drank up to two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Results showed absolutely no significant difference between the placebo group and those who drank it.”

Healthline.com

“Acetic acid is a short-chain fatty acid that dissolves into acetate and hydrogen in your body. Some animal studies suggest that the acetic acid in apple cider vinegar may promote weight loss in several ways.”

For a round up of what other expert websites say about Apple Cider Vinegar go here

Here are selection of the best customer reviews of Goli Gummies:

“Apple cider vinegar is supposed to be good for you and I have tried drinking the stuff but I couldn’t tolerate it. After seeing adverts for these I decided to give them a try. They are very pleasant to eat but it’s too early yet for a verdict on improving health or well being.” J. Williams (5 stars)

“Does what it says on the tin. Great value for money when buying more than one, taste great and they do curb your appetite.” Annemarie (5 stars)

“Not been on them long but already noticing some differences. Appetite has dropped and bloating going down. Energy levels are up. Love the taste of them too.” Linda Jones (5 stars)

In Conclusion: Are Goli Gummies Any Good?

By this point, you are probably wondering do apple cider vinegar gummies work? Well, let me tell you that I do not think they offer value for money. If you don’t like the taste of liquid ACV the 2nd best option are capsules not gummies. Why? Well pills may be less tasty than gummies but they contain less sugar, calories and they are a lot cheaper.

Apple cider vinegar has proven health benefits. That said the balance of the science does not support acv having a great effect on weight loss. ACV can damage your teeth, but using the gummies will ensure this is not an issue.

If you are looking for a little extra help to achieve your weight loss goals then I would recommend using Goli Gummies.

I recommend ACV in moderation to lower cholesterol among other things as mentioned in the benefits section. However to find the most powerful weight loss supplements trending now check the top 10 list here.

Of course, you could always use the gummies instead.

Do Apple Cider Vinegar Pills Work As Well As The Liquid?

This makes them a much more appealing option for anyone looking to lose weight, who do not want to damage their teeth in the process.

Consuming apple cider vinegar in pill form also ensures you are not having to taste the vinegar itself, which is not a very nice taste if we are being honest here.

Do Apple Cider Vinegar Pills Make You Poop?

Unfortunately, there are some users who have reportedly suffered diarrhoea after using ACV.

Apple cider contains pectin that comes from fermented apples. It is a dietary fibre that acts as a natural gelling agent.

Should I Take Apple Cider Vinegar Pills Before Or After Meals?

I would recommend taking the Goli Gummies after your meal. It has been reported that taking the supplement on an empty stomach can cause nausea.

Who owns Goli Gummies?

The slick online marketing of this company which pushed goli to no.1 spot on amazon best seller list indicates a professional company with marketing budget –

But it is all a little mysterious.

Do you remember when bottled water was released?

Well the gummy marketing is a bit like a man running through the street naked whooping and and hollering with a bottle of water raised above his head.

It is easy to get caught up in the hype but let’s take a deeper look.

Remember to read the round up of expert and customer reviews at the end it is insightful.

but first come with me while I guide you through the maze of of truth and half truth so you get the real information you need.

What Are The Benefits Of Goli Gummies?

There are numerous claimed benefits you can experience when supplementing with Goli Gummies. These benefits include:

Appetite control and weight loss

Reduction in blood sugar levels

Improved complexion

Better digestion

More energy

A stronger heart

Body detoxification

Improved immune system

To verify the claimed benefits we are going to have to look more closely at the ingredients used, and how the gummies actually work.

What are the Ingredients of a Goli Gummy?

Apple cider vinegar (5% acetic acid) Organic Beetroot Organic Pomegranate Vitamin B9 folic acid Vitamin B12

How Do Goli Gummies Work For Weight Loss?

The main ingredient of Goli Gummies is apple cider vinegar, which contains acetic acid.

Acetic acid is a short-chain fatty acid that dissolves into acetate and hydrogen within your body.

When consumed acetic acid can help promote weight loss. Let’s look at the various ways that it can aid your weight loss efforts:

1. Increases Fullness and Reduces Calorie Intake

Apple cider vinegar promotes fullness, which will help to reduce your calorie intake it does this by slowing down the rate that food leaves your stomach.

2. Reduction In Body Fat and Weight Loss

Adding just 1-2 tablespoons daily can help with your weight loss efforts. It can also help you to drop body fat. Although scientific findings are mixed regarding weight loss.

Other health benefits of apple cider vinegar include:

Lower blood sugar and insulin levels

Improved insulin sensitivity

Lower fasting blood sugar

Improved polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) symptoms

Lower cholesterol levels

Reduced blood pressure

Helps to kill harmful bacteria and viruses

Goli Gummy Side Effects

There are very few side effects associated with Goli Gummies, especially if they are used in moderation.

It is possible to have too much of a good thing, however.

Too much ACV can cause side effects such as:

1. Delayed Stomach Emptying

Those who suffer from this condition will encounter other issues such as heartburn, bloating and nausea.

2. Low Potassium Levels and Bone Loss

It has been suggested that taking ACV in high doses can cause low potassium levels, as well as osteoporosis. A condition that can cause brittle bones.

In the one reported case doctors suggested that these side effects were caused by the high doses of apple cider vinegar leaching the vital minerals from the bones.

3. Erosion of Tooth Enamel

The most common side effect of ACV, and one that you are unlikely to face if you choose to use the gummies is the erosion of your tooth enamel.

ACV contains acetic acid that can damage your teeth, with studies showing a 1-20% loss of minerals from your teeth in just 4 hours

Doing so could lead to side effects and long-term harm.

Price Comparison Of Popular Apple Cider Products

Goli ACV Gummy $19 for 500mg (60 gummies)

ACV by Diet Works $8.94 for 500mg ACV (90 capsules)

Havasu ACV Diet Pills $16.95 for 500mg (60 pills)

Natures Bounty ACV $9 for 480mg (200 tablets)

Goli Gummy FAQs

Here are some commonly asked questions about Goli Gummies:

Are Goli Gummies FDA Approved?

While not FDA approved, they are manufactured in an FDA registered, cGMP certified, Kosher and allergen-free facility.

This means that the highest manufacturing techniques have been used and that your safety is paramount.

Can you take to many Goli Gummies?

Yes

500 mg is equivalent to two liquid teaspoons (10 ml)

15 to 30 ml is recommended for weight loss when used in liquid form.

For weight loss it is probably unwise to take more than 1500 mg or 3 gummies.

Be aware that 500mg is a common dose in ACV dedicated supplements.

What is the recommended amount of Goli Gummies to take?

The supplement instructions “We recommend that adults take 2-6 gummies a day”

According to livestrong.com

Healthline says…

“….The research that currently exists suggests that 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) per day of liquid apple cider vinegar diluted in water appears to be safe and have health benefits….”

How Much Weight Can You Lose With Apple Cider Vinegar In A Week?

The most scientific findings say ACV does not help with weight loss with some exceptions.

US National Library of Medicine

How Do You Protect Your Teeth With Apple Cider Vinegar?

There are a few methods you can use to protect your teeth when using ACV. One of the best ways is to:

Dilute the apple cider vinegar in water. Roughly 1-2 tablespoons of water with 8 ounces of water.

Drink the mixture using a straw to minimise contact with your teeth.

Make sure to rinse your mouth with water to wash away any remaining ACV.

Finally, do not brush your teeth immediately after consumption.

Of course, you could always use the gummies instead.

Do Apple Cider Vinegar Pills Work As Well As The Liquid?

This makes them a much more appealing option for anyone looking to lose weight, who do not want to damage their teeth in the process.

Consuming apple cider vinegar in pill form also ensures you are not having to taste the vinegar itself, which is not a very nice taste if we are being honest here.

The long form fiction advice post was also getting super unwieldy in length, so I neglected to mention ACOH and instead focused on the experience with developing and writing SOBR, but my best friend asked me if working on short stories helps with writing longer ones and the answer is YES!!!!

I think part of what made me successful with SOBR was my first go around with A Change of Heart, because it was a blend of short form and long form fiction. Each chapter was an individual short story that required a beginning, middle, and end, while simultaneously contributing to the overarching plot of the story taking place across all the chapters. I'm not going to tell you or anyone to try something like this first, but short stories do contribute to your skills to develop a full story. It's just a smaller scale version of the same thing.

But a short story cycle like ACOH (or, in an actual professional example, The Grass Dancer by Susan Power, my favorite novel of all time, or arguably Calling for a Blanket Dance by Oscar Hokeah) is a perfect bridge between both forms. It helps you practice both ways; to follow continuity and character stories while being able to complete these stories on a smaller scale.

...ACOH is done. i think. i finished the last chapter tonight, and fixed up the second-to-last chapter a bit. work on it is not entirely complete. i need to edit the last two chapters, but everything is written.

i wanted to break 200,000 words, but i’m not going to push it. i hit around 197,000 words, so i can consider that good. i also wanted it to be 20 chapters exactly, but i’ll fall short with 19 chapters. i had a bonus chapter idea, but don’t really feel like writing it at this point. if i change my mind, i’ll go after it, but for now, it’s done.

that’s crazy. i can’t believe i did that. in the span of five months, too, because i started the project on June 28. it’s really incredible to me that i managed to do this project for real. i never see projects through to their end, so i never bother starting them. but i did it, for real this time.

i’m really proud of myself, i have to admit. maybe i’ll do an early update tomorrow in celebration since i got time before i have to work on editing the last two chapters.

but it feels so weird being done. the fuck am i gonna do at work when i don’t wanna work NOW???

#Psy's no punctuation posts #ACOH tag #i wriote so much of it at work it's crazy #it's the only way i zoomed through these chapters rly #but wow. this just so crazy #it's a weird feeling lol

The end of ACOH is starting to become very real. I have four chapter prompts left, but only two I’m solid on. I’m leaning towards scrapping at least one of the ones I’m not sure about since I tried writing it twice today and was just not feeling it at all, but if I really only have TWO chapters left? That’s crazy.

I can’t believe I’ve made it this far. I have never done anything like this before EVER. I’ve written a lot over the years thanks to roleplay, wrote short fanfics every once in a while, but I was afraid of taking on large scale projects because I worried that I’d lose interest since I often did back in the day. I would start large scale projects that I never finished all the time.

But ACOH is special, I guess. It’s coming to an end, and I will have completed my first large scale writing project ever. The only substantive thing I finished before this was my honors thesis novella for college, which was 17,000 words and a struggle at every step. I hated writing it, and maybe if I’d liked it more, I could have gone so much further. Passion makes a major difference.

I did nearly finish one fic of substantive length before back when I was 14. I got discouraged by a bad review and gave up and so it sat at 43,000 words, and was the longest fic I’d written for years because I stopped really writing fic after that point until more recently.

By the time that ACOH comes to an end, it will be around 200,000 words, which took me about five months (accounting for my finish likely being late November). That’s unfathomable to me. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to replicate that momentum, energy, and enthusiasm for a writing project again, but I showed myself I can really do it if I put my mind to it. I think that’s something to be proud of.

Day 20: One (or both) is Injured

Alternately, Jude makes friends with the local cryptid.

Jude clambered up the increasingly steep hill, using his hands as well as his legs to propel him now. Normally, he wouldn’t have bothered with such a difficult climb, but Seben and Tabu had both insisted the top of Serpent’s Ridge offered the best view on the island. Once the thought had wormed its way into his head, Jude found he couldn’t let it go.

His curiosity demanded he know what lie at the top of that mound.

“How much further?” Kul called from behind him.

Jude looked up, squinting in the midday sun.

“Just a few more feet, I think. It looks pretty flat up ahead,” he said.

“Great. This bag is getting heavy.”

Jude turned to look at the heavy sack hanging off his boyfriend’s shoulders. He frowned.

“I told you I wouldn’t mind carrying it for a bit.”

“No,” Kul dismissed with a wave of his hand, “It’s fine. I’ve got it.”

“Okay,” he muttered.

“O-kaaaaayyyy,” Kul mocked him playfully.

“Oh my gods,” Jude said, “You’re such a child.”

In response, Kul stuck out his tongue and blew a raspberry at him.

“How childish was that?”

“Hmm. Only a lot.”

Kul let out a short cackle.

Jude pulled himself up and onto the top of the hill and held out a hand for Kul. He took it and pressed a soft kiss to Jude’s knuckles. The pink tinge in his cheeks and the way his hair moved in the breeze were almost enough to make Jude’s heart stop. He watched as Kul’s eyelashes fluttered gently against his skin.

Kul then dropped his hand and stubbornly scrambled the rest of the way up the hill unaided. He seated himself beside Jude, allowing his legs to dangle over the edge.

“You were supposed to let me pull you up,” Jude mumbled.

“You know I never do what I’m supposed to,” Kul offered a cheeky smile.

Jude only rolled his eyes in response. Instead of Kul, he chose to focus on the view of the island from his new vantage point. Date palms and fig trees dotted the land, broad leaves hiding the straw tops of the huts that lay below. Beyond that, he saw the edge where the trees met sand and where sand tapered off into the red sea. From behind, he heard the roar of that same sea crashing into the cliffside.

When he squinted, Jude found he could even make out the long oily line that made up Apep’s constantly moving body. The great snake could rarely afford to rest. The beaches that lined the island were many miles in length, and though Apep was large enough to encircle it all, they only had one head.

“Finally,” Kul said, dropping the rucksack between them, “Lunch.”

They spent the next few minutes eating honeyed bread and fruit. Between bites, Jude did his best to describe the view to Kul. Even while echolocating, his boyfriend couldn’t make out much more than vague shapes past ten feet.

After awhile, Kul stood and stretched, electing to explore the little outcropping a bit more. Jude’s gaze lingered on his face a little longer than necessary. Once he realized he was staring, Jude turned his attention back to the tiny huts far below. Squinting a little, Jude thought he could almost see Egypt’s shore.

Not for the last time, he wondered how Braheem was doing.

A sickening crack followed by the word “Shit!” promptly drew Jude from his thoughts.

Jude spun around. Kul sat hunched over his leg, and since his back was to Jude, he couldn’t quite see what happened. He hoped Kul had just tripped and startled himself. As he drew closer though, it became increasingly obvious that Kul’s leg was both wedged between two large rocks, and very much broken.

Rushing to his side, questions poured out of his mouth before Jude even realized he was speaking.

“What happened? Where does it hurt most, and how bad is it? Are you stuck? On a scale of one to ten-”

Kul threw up a hand to silence him.

“That’s a lot of questions, Jude. One at a time, please,” Kul’s voice sounded strained.

Forcing himself to calm down, Jude switched his focus to the injured leg. It was bent oddly in two places, and he internally groaned. One break was bad enough, but two? Shaking the thought from his head, Jude reached forward. Best to get it over with and hope that the magic imbedded in Punt’s core helped him heal faster than he would in Egypt.

Just before he touched his boyfriend’s knee, Kul caught his wrist.

“What do you think you’re doing?”

Jude blinked at him, confused.

“I’m going to heal it. What else would I be doing?”

“I don’t know. Making a splint? Going to get help? Doing anything that doesn’t end up with you in excruciating pain?”

Kul’s teeth were clenched tight, something made obvious by his taught jaw. Whether because of pain or anger, Jude didn’t know.

“If I make a splint and set your leg, you’ll be in pain for at least a month. If I heal you, I’ll only feel it for a few days. It’s better that way,” Jude explained.

Kul scowled.

“Jude, no. We talked about this. You can’t give up anymore time because of other people’s stupidity. That includes mine.”

“But-”

“You think I had trouble getting the rucksack up here, imagine the issues I’ll have trying to carry you down that hill.”

Jude considered this. After wrenching his wrist from Kul’s grasp (Jude suspected he was only holding on that tight because of the pain), he stood.

“Okay, fine. I’ll go find some sticks and make a splint, but I’m not leaving you up here alone.”

He didn’t give Kul the chance to respond to that, as he knew the other boy would insist Jude leave him in the name of finding help.

A five minute long search yielded two perfectly straight sticks. After easing Kul’s injured leg from between the two rocks, Jude quickly got to work, setting the bones back in place to the best of his ability. He built a quick splint using the two sticks and one of the rolls of gauze he always kept on his person. As he worked, he mulled over what to do.

They couldn’t both stay on the cliff- they only packed enough food for the day, and had devoured most of it. He couldn’t carry Kul down the hill, that presented too much of a risk of one or both of them falling and splitting a more vital bone than a fibula. A cracked skull, for instance, would be very bad. Jude tied off the gauze and stared blankly out into the distance. Beyond the trees, that thick black line still sat. Watching.

Jude almost smacked himself.

Apep could get them down and to the mouth of Tabu’s cave in minutes.

The only problem was getting their attention. Normally, this was a non-issue. The great serpent loved foods of all sorts, and tried to keep their head around the South beach, as Jude often visited with samples of snacks. Now, however, Jude had no idea what part of the island the head was currently patrolling.

“You should go get help. I’ll be fine here for a few hours-” Kul tried again, but Jude cut him off.

“I’m not leaving you. When I get Apep’s attention, I’ll ask them to carry us down, and everything will be okay.”

Kul groaned.

“Apep? Really? The same snake that almost let you bleed out on the beach because of a technicality in a stupid rule?”

“They’re a nice snake,” Jude defended, “Just a little lonely, I think.”

“Oh my gods,” Kul moaned. “Fine, but if I have to sit here listening to them hem and haw over whether they can really spare the time for more than five minutes, I’m going to climb down this hill myself, consequences be damned.”

“It won’t come to that,” Jude said. Hopefully.

He dug around in the rucksack, searching for any leftovers. Apep would come quicker if they smelled food. Triumphantly, he pulled an untouched apricot and a half-eaten slice of olive bread that he’d planned on saving for later from the bag.

“How’s your pain?” Jude called over his shoulder.

Kul looked thoughtful for a moment. He reached out to poke at his leg.

“Don’t,” Jude snapped.

Kul shrugged at him, but dropped his hand back onto the ground.

“It hurts, but it also feels weirdly numb, so not too bad I guess.”

Jude nodded.

“Good. That’s how it should feel.”

He gathered the leftovers in his arms and headed to the cliffside. Looking down at the crashing waves below, Jude found himself struggling to breathe.

Don’t look at it, Jude instructed himself firmly, Don’t think about it, it’s not there.

He chose instead to focus on the over-ten-tree-trunk-thick mass of brown and golden scales arcing over the water.

“APEP!” he yelled, shouting as loudly as possible. “I NEED HELP! KUL’S HURT!”

The mass kept moving, scales shifting constantly. Jude sighed to himself.

“I have food,” he called, not quite as frantic this time.

The scales stopped shifting. Slowly, they began moving in the opposite direction. Ten seconds later, Jude was staring into a giant golden eye that opened larger than he stood. Apep rose to stare at Jude curiously. Their gaze darted between him and the leftover pieces of food he held. Apep seemed to smile.

“Jude! What a pleasant surprise to see you on this side of the island!” Their voice boomed in his head, neither masculine nor feminine. He heard it plain as day, but not in the way one ‘hears’ a noise. “I see you brought me some snacks. That was very kind of you. I do need to keep my energy up.”

Something large and pink darted out from their mouth, reaching for the olive bread. Jude leapt to the side, narrowly avoiding the giant forked tongue.

“No,” he said sternly, “I need you to take me and Kul somewhere first.”

The giant cobra settled the tip of their chin (did snakes have chins? He needed to research that when they got home) on the cliffside and stared at him forlornly.

“And here I thought we were friends.” they whined. “But you only want me around when you need something from me,” they followed this dramatic statement up by throwing their head back and wailing.

“Kul is hurt and we need to get him down to Tabu’s cave as fast as possible. His leg is broken in two different places,” Jude stated, decidedly unamused by Apep’s antics.

The wailing cut off abruptly.

“I don’t see why you need me for that,” they sniffed, “You’re the healer. I’m just the healer’s ride, apparently.”

Apep pretended to sob now. Loud, hacking, obviously fake sounds rang out loudly in his head. Jude grit his teeth.

“Fine. I guess I’ll just have to eat this delicious olive bread all by myself then.”

Apep turned another emotional one-eighty. They gave a little fake sniffle.

Jude wasn’t so naive as he used to be. He knew snakes didn’t have tear ducts, and so weren’t able to cry. Apep enjoyed being the center of attention a little too much.

“Olive bread? You brought me olive bread?”

“Not if you don’t help me get Kul to Tabu’s cave.”

Apep considered this. They hovered over the edge of the cliff for a moment. Finally, they nodded. Apep pressed their snout to the side of the cliff, creating a very sturdy and flat platform for them to stand on. Jude breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thank you, Peps,” Jude said.

Apep grunted in response.

Jude helped Kul to his feet. With Kul’s arm and most of his weight slung over his shoulder, they hobbled onto Apep’s nose. Jude sat in his usual place between the serpent’s eyes and slowly lowered Kul onto his lap. Kul hissed and gripped Jude’s hand in his own, nearly crushing it with how hard he was squeezing.

“Maybe it hurts a little more than I said,” Kul muttered.

Jude wrapped his free arm around Kul’s middle. Burying his face in Kul’s neck, he said, “It’s okay. Tabu’s gonna fix you up. You’re safe now.”

Kul hissed again. In Jude’s arms, his entire body tensed up.

“I know, I know,” he said. “And thank you. I didn’t say it before, but I was really scared of being left alone up there. I’m glad you didn’t listen to me.”

Jude rubbed comforting circles into the back of his hand. He leaned forward and pressed a kiss to Kul’s cheek. Apep lowered their head to the ground with a dull thump!

“We’re here,” Apep called. “Now get off and hand over the bread before I puke.”

Thank you for reading!

Day 23: Protecting the/Each Other

TW: Racism, bullying, PTSD flashbacks, implied past abuse

Vague Spoilers ahead!

The rolling pin creaked as Jude carefully rolled out the pastry dough. Eyeing the tart crust Pausiris had laid out as an example, he ran the rolling pin over his own batch one more time. Jude let out a sigh and stepped back.

“How’s this one?”

After nothing more than a quick glance at his work, his mentor said, “It’s the perfect thickness, Jude. Just like the ones you did fifteen minutes ago, and the ones from yesterday, and the ones from last week. You don’t need my approval every time you roll out dough.”

“Okay,” he said, “But what if they look wrong?”

“You always think they look wrong, otherwise you wouldn’t be constantly asking for my opinion,” Pausiris sighed, “Look, anything I’ve taught you over the past two weeks, you can do on your own, with no input from me. Now, if you can manage to roll out another perfect sheet of pastry dough, we might be able to fill this order in time.”

“Right! Sorry!”

Pausiris left for the oven, a tray of raw fruit tarts in hand.

As Jude returned to his station, the sound of an extra pair of footsteps reached his ears. Looking up, he locked eyes with a boy around his age. Hard brown eyes stared him down over a petite nose. Ammon glared at him. Jude froze.

Heart pounding in his chest, Jude reminded himself that as rude as he was, Ammon was a customer. He plastered on a smile and walked over to greet the other boy.

“Hello!” he said brightly, “What can I do for you?”

“I need a lamb dumpling platter.”

Jude nodded and turned to begin preparing the dough. Ammon leaned on the counter, watching him. Making a grab for his mixing bowl, Jude tried his best to ignore Ammon’s gaze.

“You don’t belong here,” Ammon continued casually, “You know that, right?”

Jude stiffened, but continued measuring out flour.

“I know things may have gotten a little heated, but I earned this apprenticeship,” Jude said quietly.

“That’s not what I meant. You don’t belong here. On Punt.”

Jude mixed the wet ingredients into the dry with a little more force than he usually used. Choosing to say nothing, Jude focused instead on ensuring the dough was the right consistency.

“Honestly, we’d all be better off if you left in the boat you rode in on. Don’t take that the wrong way. It’s just best if Mortals stay away from here, you know? Your kind tend to ruin everything you touch. Just look at Egypt! Heard people are stealing over there. Can you imagine?” he scoffed, “Taking something you haven’t earned? It’s barbaric!”

Gritting his teeth, Jude tried to ignore him, but the words slipped past his lips before he could stop them.

“I’m Arcane, just like you. And not all Mortals are bad.”

“Half Arcane,” Ammon corrected, “And that part doesn’t matter. You’re nothing like me. I’d never abuse my magic the way you have,” he sneered, “It’s easy to see what having blood like that has done to you. Just like a Mortal to take advantage of a Gift so graciously given by the Island. Do you even realize how selfish you are?”

Do you even realize how selfish you are? How selfish you are? How selfish selfish selfish-

The word echoed in his head, and the more it bounced around, the more it sounded like Kasaika's voice.

Jude all but punched the dough. Images of his room in the Kingdom flashed through his mind. Cries of pain reached his ears, and though he knew they weren’t real, they still sounded loud and clear in his head. Dropping to his knees, Jude clamped his hands over his ears. Shut up, go away, he pleaded silently.

“Ooh, I think I hit a nerve. Did I upset you, you pathetic magic abu-”

Ammon’s words were cut off by a loud ‘Thwack!’ followed by a guttural scream.

“You broke my fuckin’ nose, you psycho!”

“You’re lucky that’s all you got! If you ever speak to him like that again, I’ll cut out your tongue and shove it down your throat! Now get out, or I’ll break the rest of your face!”

Jude buried his head between his knees. Rocking back and forth on the floor, he waited for the images and the sounds and the panic to stop. His heart hammered in his chest and Jude felt like he was moving at the speed of light, but impossibly slow at the same time.

“Jude?”

That voice sounded so gentle. So warm, and welcoming. He wanted desperately to come up to greet it, but the screaming voices pulled him back under. Heal us! Fix us! Save us! they cried, all vying for his attention.

He heard the gentle voice again, speaking to him softly, though he couldn’t quite make out the words. Slowly enough, the screams faded away along with the rock walls of his old room.

Kul’s face greeted him, uncharacteristically soft and sincere.

“It’s okay, you’re safe. I’ve got you. Can I touch you?”

Jude shook his head.

“N-not yet.”

Kul settled in beside him, a comfortable distance away.

“Okay. I’ll just sit here with you then.”

Jude nodded, and wiped at his eyes which had, at some point, become wet with tears. After a few more minutes of trying to pull himself together, Jude crawled into Kul’s lap and pressed his face into his boyfriend’s neck. Gripping the back of Kul's shirt like a lifeline, he tried to rid himself of the echo of Kasaika's voice. Kul held him loosely, rubbing comforting circles into his back.

“How are those tarts comi- oh dear. What happened?”

“Ammon,” Kul spat in the most venomous tone Jude had ever heard.

“I was in the bad place again,” Jude mumbled.

Kul stiffened.

"I'll kill him."

Jude could only shake his head in protest.

“Dammit,” Pausiris cursed, “Alright, if he ever comes in again, don’t talk to him. Drop whatever you’re doing, come find me, and I’ll kick him out, alright? You should head home. Take tomorrow off, get some rest.”

“Thanks,” Jude managed.

“Don’ mention it. You let me know if he bothers you again, alright? I’ll have a talk with his parents.”

Jude nodded into Kul’s collarbone, too drained to even look up.

Kul scooped Jude up in his arms bridal style. His soft lips landed on Jude’s forehead a number of times during the walk back to their hut.

“When we get home, I’ll make you some tea, okay?”

“I just wanna sleep.”

“Alright. Do you want me to lay down with you?”

Jude nodded into his chest.

The next thing he remembered was waking in their hammock, encircled by Kul’s loving arms.

Thank you for reading!

Day 3: Spooning for Warmth

Alternately, Jude is bad at self-care.

Kul nocked a new arrow in his bow and pulled back. He clicked his tongue and cocked his head to the side, waiting patiently for the echoes to make their way back to his ears.

Taka taka taka tak

Kul lowered his bow for a moment, frowning to himself. He trained his ears on the new sound.

Taka taka taka tak

Oh no, he thought. Not again.

Kul sighed and slung his bow back over his shoulder. As he walked, he sent out more clicks.

Click! There was that rock he always tripped over. Click! One of Hathor's larger sculptures- the goddess Bast. Of course. Click! The door to their newly renovated hut.

As he approached their shared home, the strange but sadly familiar noise grew louder.

Taka taka taka tak

Kul deposited his archery gear by the door, and made his way to the ladder that led up into the loft.

“You can't keep doing this,” he called when he'd climbed about halfway up.

“It's f-f-fine.” Jude's voice drifted down. “I'm n-not that c-c-c-cold.”

“You're shivering. Plus I heard your teeth chattering from all the way outside,” Kul responded flatly as he pulled himself up onto the little ledge that held Jude and Hathor's reading nook.

“I-it's f-f-f-fine,” Jude said again. “And that's n-not f-f-fair. You can h-hear rocks.”

“Good thing too, otherwise you might have frozen to death.”

“It's n-not that c-cold,” Jude repeated stubbornly.

“Bull. It rained last night and there's nothing between that water and your pillow pile.”

Jude didn't answer him. Kul sighed.

“Can't you read somewhere else? Like in your hammock? Where it's dry?”

“No,” Jude scoffed. “T-this is the r-reading spot.”

“Maybe put the scrolls down for a day then?”

“It's noon. I have t-to read at n-n-noon.”

“Okay then.”

Kul retreated down the ladder and snagged the blanket that sat crumpled in the center of his hammock. He paused. Kul thought better of it and tossed his own blanket aside before grabbing Jude's much softer one. Slinging the mass of cotton over his shoulder, Kul clambered back up the ladder.

Kul tossed the blanket over Jude's shoulders. He wrapped his arms around the smaller boy and leaned back until they were propped up by three pillows, all in varying degrees of dampness. Jude let out a quiet yelp and the scroll crinkled a little in his hands. He never tried to pull away though, so Kul left his hands on Jude's stomach.

“How about this?” he asked.

“This is fine.” Jude mumbled back.

Kul smiled to himself and pressed a quick kiss to the base of Jude's ear. He took great satisfaction in the lack of the shiver-induced stutter in Jude’s voice.

“Good.”

Day 5: Late Night Talks

Alternately, Jude is bad at self-care: Part 2.

Hovering over the little clay oven, Jude rubbed at his eyes and tried not to think about how dark the sky looked. Or how warm the fire felt so close to his skin. Or how nice the bread smelled.

Five more minutes, he told himself sternly. The fire needs to be doused in five more minutes, and then I can sleep.

“Jude? What’re you doing?”

Jude jumped, startled. He cast a glance over his shoulder to find the speaker. Kul stood in the doorway, rubbing at his eyes sleepily. Some of his tight curls flew away from the rest, and his lower lip stuck out in an adorable pout the way it always did when Kul wasn’t fully awake.

Jude turned away guiltily.

“Sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you. I’m just baking.”

Kul seemed to sober. His pout shrank a little.

“In the middle of the night?”

Not bothering to turn around, Jude simply shrugged. A few moments of silence followed.

“Jude?”

Oh, Jude thought. Right. Blind.

“I guess so, yeah,” he mumbled finally.

Eager to end the conversation, Jude poured the small bowl of water he’d prepared over the fire. He waited a few seconds before using bunched up rolls of his robe to lift the lid. Peering down, Jude thought to himself that he could have taken the bread off the heat a little sooner. The crust looked a little burnt.

Kul knelt beside him.

“We still have two untouched loaves in the house. What’s really going on?”

Jude leaned back into his chest. Silently, he pulled out his smooth rock and worked his fingers around it a few times before answering.

“Had a nightmare. Couldn’t sleep.”

“Mmm,” Kul hummed. He began carding his fingers through Jude’s hair. “Do you want to talk about it?”

Jude rubbed at the stone some more. He shook his head.

“I don’t remember it now.”

Kul leaned in, pressing his lips to Jude’s temple.

“Okay.” He scooped Jude into his arms and stood up. “Let’s get you back to bed.”

“Wait,” Jude protested, while Kul carried him back inside, “the bread still needs to be taken out of the oven.”

“I’ll take care of it.”

“And it has to be put on a cooling rack so it doesn’t mold.”

“I can do that too.”

“And the oven needs to be cleaned, or the bread bits will be really difficult to scrape off tomorrow, and-”

“Jude.”

His mouth snapped shut.

“Yeah?”

“I can handle it.”

Jude looked up at him warily.

“Are you sure? I don’t want to take advantage of you. You have your apprenticeship tomorrow with Isis, and I’d hate to make you stay up any longer.”

“You’re not,” Kul assured him, “I’m offering to do it. Besides, it’ll only take me a few minutes. And you’ve got your own work cut out for you tomorrow with Pausiris,” Kul chided. “It’s better if we both get some sleep rather than one of us getting none.”

Jude pressed his face into the crook of Kul’s neck.

“I guess that makes sense,” he mumbled after a moment. “‘M sorry for waking you up.”

Kul chuckled.

“Don’t worry about it.”

The next thing he knew, Jude was laying in their hammock. Someone pressed a warm kiss to his forehead and disappeared. What seemed like seconds later, the hammock swayed and Jude woke to Kul’s arms wrapped around him.

Day 21: Kiss in the Rain

It was a dark day for mankind on that eve when the demon-snake Apep came into being. Cut from the same cloth as the great god Ra, the serpent wasn’t so much as half as loved, and so they vowed to bring about Ra’s destruction. When the earth shakes in the east-

A splotch of water appeared on the papyrus scroll. Jude blinked, shaking himself from the hold of the writing. Another dropped, darkening the paper. Then a third and a fourth.

The soft patter of raindrops echoed around the room, many of them landing on and around him. Hurriedly, Jude marked his place and rolled up the loose section, thanking whatever force responsible that he’d only just begun this particular story.

On the ground floor, he heard the door close.

"Jude? You're not reading up there, are you?" Kul's concerned voice rang throughout the house.

"No," Jude grumbled, "I guess I'm done for the day."

He shuffled along the ledge of the reading nook with his back to the window, effectively shielding the scroll with his body. He carefully placed it on the shelf where it belonged. Pulling his hood up, Jude began moving back to try and close the sliding wood door he and Kul had installed over the window the previous week.

It was a clunky, heavy, hastily-constructed piece of wood on an unreliable slider. Jude hated the thing, but he hated the thought of any of his scrolls getting ruined by the rain even more.

Especially after he had to throw out about three quarters of his pillow pile due to mold.

Tugging at the handle, Jude winced as water battered him from the open window. The wood door creaked and groaned but refused to move.

"Need some help?"

"It won't move!" Jude called back, frustrated.

The ladder creaked and then Kul's head popped up over the ledge. After clambering up, Kul rushed to his side and started tugging at the handle. They kept at it for a good few minutes, but the stubborn door wouldn't budge.

"Okay, so maybe we should have measured before we cut," Kul said.

"Yeah. I r-really sh-should have thought a-a-b-bout that," Jude agreed.

Kul turned to him, eyebrows furrowed.

"I'll keep working on this, you get downstairs where it's dry."

Jude thought for a second about arguing, but knew Kul would refuse to let him help, even if he stayed. Part of him felt annoyed that Kul didn't want or need his help. A bigger part of him felt grateful to have a partner who cared so much about his health.

Though he was shivering at this point, Jude braved the cascade once more to give Kul a quick peck on the cheek before descending to the ground floor.

"I-I'll m-m-make us s-some tea!" he called from the ladder.

Once he reached the ground floor, Jude shucked off his sopping wet robe. He pulled his rock from the left pocket before carefully draping it over their table. After wrapping himself in his blanket, Jude filled a clay pot with water and sat by the little fire, waiting for it to boil.

Jude shivered, and the sound of his chattering teeth was so loud that he almost didn't notice when Kul descended the ladder.

"I got it to close. Finally," Kul said.

Jude looked up. His poor boyfriend was practically dripping with water, and even shivering a little. Wordlessly, he offered up half his blanket.

“No thanks, I’d rather not ruin your blanket.”

“You’re just as c-c-cold as I a-am, get-t in here,” Jude said.

Kul hesitated for a second, but ducked under Jude’s outstretched arm anyway.

“Eww,” Jude said, “You’re all wet.”

Wordlessly, Kul pulled Jude into a big hug. He pressed sloppy wet kissed to the top of Jude’s head. Jude squirmed in his boyfriend’s arms.

“Noooo,” he whined playfully. “You can’t do this to me! I’m gonna get sick, remember?”

“Nope. I have body heat, which destroys nasty colds,” Kul said. “You have to let me hug you, for medical reasons.”

Immediately, Jude stopped trying to free himself.

“I guess I can’t argue, if it’s for medical reasons.”

“Absolutely,” Kul agreed. “For your danger of potential colds, I prescribe you cuddles and kisses. And tea.”

Kul pulled Jude into his lap and tangled his fingers in the shorter boy’s hair. Jude nuzzled into his neck, and Kul took this opportunity to dot his forehead with a mass of kisses. Kul trailed down his jaw and to the corner of Jude’s mouth.

With their lips almost touching, Kul asked. “Do you think that did it?”

Jude’s heart pounded in his chest. He stared down at Kul’s lips, yearning to remove what little space stood between them.

“Absolutely not,” he whispered, “I need at least ten more kisses and two hours of cuddles. Just to be sure.”

“As you wish, my love.”

Kul closed the gap between them, cupping Jude’s cheek in his hand as they kissed. His other hand rested against Jude’s hip. Jude grasped at the back of Kul’s shirt, and when they finally separated, he found himself gasping for air.

Kul leaned his forehead against Jude’s, panting slightly himself.

“Now…” Kul huffed, “How about the other nine?”

Thank you for reading!
