Wandering Tales - Soulmate AU

Summary: Your job is never easy, but the likes of a family having a bad day makes it all the more enjoyable.

Pairing: Wanda Maximoff x Fem!???!Reader

Warnings: Some hurt/comfort and fluffy stuff, adoption, nothing too serious but lmk if there is anything else.

A/N: I saw a post the other day that went something along the lines of ‘even if you think your writing is shit, there’ll be someone out there who relates to it and appreciates it’. So, here’s another WIP i haven’t touched in a while.

*not my gif*

When someone is born into this strange world of soulmates, they don’t realise how lucky they are. To know that someone out there in the billions of people is the one destined for them is both mind-meltingly and earth-shatteringly beautiful. But with all of these mutants, metahumans, aliens and more, how do you know who it is?

Well, in this world, you have two marks, both similar to a birthmark, but not quite the same.

For example, let’s take a Kryptonian with a Luthor. Now, the Luthor may not want to accept it, but her mark is the crest of the House of El, sealing her fate with one of two people. As for the Kryptonian, she may not have understood what the L symbol meant on her planet, but when she arrived on Earth, it became pretty clear on who her soulmate was.

And it’s not just symbols or crests that the mark can be. They can be mysterious, tricky, and downright allusive. A florist’s soulmate may have a plain flower on their wrist, or secretly, the florist has always wanted to pursue music, making it a clef or a blank bar. Similarly to a ballerina; you would expect her soulmate to have ballet shoes as their mark, but they could possibly have an open book as to which they would learn that their ballerina wanted to be a writer.

The possibilities are endless, yet you always have your soulmate’s mark next to your own.

But for you? Your possibility was already here, as you worked in Wayne Industries’ Aquarium and Rehabilitation Centre, your favourite place on earth to be. You didn’t know what would happen when you applied, but you were sure it would be exhilarating and incredibly soothing for you.

When you got it, your job was as simple as they could be - you did everything. You cleaned tanks, fed animals, interacted with the public, helped transfer animals like dolphins and turtles into and out of tanks. It was both the best and the worst, leaving you to go home with the stench of fish and salt all over you whilst you could almost sleep standing up in the warm shower.

Days like today, though, didn’t come so often.

Sally, your co-worker, was on the mic today as you fed some of the dolphins. You sat on the platform in your fisherman overalls and held out the fish underneath the water, letting them swipe it out of your gloved hands before you would mark off how many each dolphin had eaten.

When they weren’t eating, they were swimming laps around the pool, torpedoing underneath and saying hi to the people who looked through the glass domes from the lower deck.

“And Y/N here is our dolphin specialist. Say hi, Y/N!” Sally called for you over the speakers and you did your excited wave.

“As you can see, some of the dolphins really like having Y/N’s attention. But really, they just want the fish!”

You threw one out deep into the pool and watched it get snatched up quickly, smirking as it was the little one you hoped would get it. When you were done, you stood up and waved goodbye to everyone, making your way into the back of the aquarium.

“Hey, Y/N, how were they today?” Another co-worker, Alex, asked.

“Hey, Alex. Yeah, they were good. Salina was quiet but I made sure to give her enough fish.” You smiled softly.

Salina was your newest addition, coming in from the washed up sea and being severely underweight. She had immediately taken a liking to you, as most of them did, but the others had almost bullied her into submission.

A knock from the side door had your thoughts retreating to the back of your mind whilst you opened it, smiling at the only person you recognised.

“Hi, Mr Wayne.” You smiled.

“Hi, Y/N. Do you think you could take these guys for a tour? And go a bit backstage, they’ve had a rough day.” He asked, and you looked at the small family.

The mother was roughly 5’6” by your calculations, whilst the boys who stood by her side were easily 10 or 11 years old. You looked back at the mother and saw how bright her emerald eyes were, complimenting her diamond-shaped face well.

“O-Of course, Mr Wayne.” You stammered, smiling up at your boss. “If you don’t mind, could you just wait to the side whilst I take off my overalls?”

“Oh, no, not at all.” The mother spoke, her voice clear with a hidden accent behind it.

You stepped back inside and changed out of your overalls, hanging them up before you stepped outside. You smiled and asked them to follow you, scanning your pass through multiple side doors.

“So what have you guys seen today?” You asked, placing some fingerless gloves over your hands.

“Boys?” The mother turned to them.

They rattled off about how they did the whole reptile section before going to the animals, in which they were almost attacked by one of the birds of prey. You looked down at the first boy, Tommy’s, hand, and saw how it was covered in a large band-aid.

“Ugh, of course Wilbur would do that.” You sighed. “Besides the dolphins, what other sea animals do you guys like?”

“Oh, definitely the sharks!” Billy exclaimed, making you grin before you looked at their mother.

“And you?”

She sighed as you walked, taking her time to answer. “I like them all, but rays are definitely my favourite. They just look so…”

“Elegant.” You answered for her, watching her smile.

“Yeah. Elegant.”

“Would you like to meet some?” You opened the final door of your destination and the boys gasped in awe, a softer one coming from their mother.

“If you’d like to go in, there’s some overalls over here.” You stated, putting some of your own on whilst you grabbed some gloves and retrieved a bucket of shrimp.

The boys both put on some overalls with their mother’s help and you helped them into the water, smirking as they both giggled as the rays came up to them. You demonstrated how to feed them and helped them with a few trial runs before you let them go to town, moving to another tank with a fresh bucket of shrimp.

“Hiya, big gal.” You murmured as you sank onto the platform, brushing your hand over the southern stingray’s fin.

“You hungry?” You held out some of the shrimp and fed her slowly, letting her circle back before you fed her some more.

“How did you get this job?”

You turned to the side and saw the mother sit down on the edge of the pool, her legs crossed within her jeans as she admired the ray.

“Some people will tell you that it’s because Mr Wayne is my adoptive father…” You trailed off, trying to think of an answer.

“But really, I just applied. He didn’t even know I was in here until I was coming up on his pay docket. I love these animals with all of my heart.”

“What’s her name?” She asked, nodding at the ray.

You smiled softly as you ran your hand over her fin again. “Silvia.”

You chuckled as the ray flapped her fin against the pool by the brunette, her fingers running over her smooth skin. “Hi, Silvia.”

You smirked as the ray swam a bit more, leaving you alone on the platform before you emptied the bucket out into the water and stepped out.

“You boys done over there?!” You called out, smirking as they turned to you and gave you a thumbs up.

You gestured for them to come back and change out of the overalls before you continued, coming to your favourite part of the tour.

“Now this… is Grace.” You gestured as the huge manta ray passed over your head in the tube, smirking as the trio all gasped.

“Grace cannot return to the ocean yet because she had a fishing net hook stuck in her gills, which you can see… left a nasty gash.” You pointed as she swam over you again, the wound evident.

“Ms Y/N, can we feed her?” Billy asked, and Tommy nodded in excitement.

You looked down at your watch and pretended to debate it. “Oh, alright.”

They both cheered as you guided them to the top of the tank, getting the bucket of shrimp with Grace’s name on it. You separated it into two smaller buckets and gave one to each of the boys, smirking as they raced back to Grace.

“Now, spread it along the top of the water. Then she’ll swim around and get some of that yummy zooplankton she loves.” You grinned, watching the boys do exactly as you guided.

“You’re really good with all of this.”

You turned your head as you sank to sit on the side of the tank, smiling as Grace came past you. “I was the one who found Grace. Only I take care of her - that’s why there’s only one set of overalls.”

“Would… Would it be okay if I go in?” She asked, and you nodded.

“Come with me.”

You led her into the room and helped her into the overalls, trying not to look at her body, before you held her small hand as she entered the water. She chuckled softly as Grace came over and lightly flapped against her legs, making her gasp in awe as she brushed her fingers over her fin.

“She’s beautiful.”

“She really is.” You smirked, sitting back down on the edge of the pool as you watched her and Grace interact.

This was your favourite part of the job. Interacting with them on a basis that meant more than just food. Playing with them, soothing them, it was everything you wanted. Why would you ever want it changed?

You watched as the surface of the water gradually became choppier, alarm bells ringing in your head as Grace began to get erratic. Her slaps against the brunette’s legs became harder and harder, and you quickly dove into the pool in front of her.

You looked down at your soaked shoes and felt a tingling sensation from the air bubbles, cutting it out of your mind as you put your hands underneath the water. The manta circled one more time before she saw your hands, nudging against them in a calming manner before she went over to the other side.

“Are you alright?” You asked, helping the brunette out of the water.

“Yeah. Yeah, I am. Nothing broken or bruised.” She stammered. “Why did she do that?”

“Marine animals like Grace have incredibly acute senses, so she must’ve known it wasn’t me in the tank.” You explained, helping her remove the overalls.

“Mom!”

“Mom, are you okay?”

You mentally admired the love these boys had for their mother as she assured them she was alright. She stood up and faced you, noticing how closely you were watching them.

“I don’t think I told you my name. I’m Wanda, Wanda Maximoff.” She held out her hand.

“Y/N Atlanna-Wayne.” You smiled, shaking hers.

“That’s a really nice last name.” She beamed, making you blush.

“Thank you. Maximoff… isn’t that Croatia? No, no, Sokovia.” You corrected yourself, watching her impressed look in the form of a raised eyebrow.

“It is indeed. And Atlanna? I get the Wayne part, but that?”

“Atlantic. I was born on a boat.” You chuckled, loving to tell that story.

She chuckled. “No wonder you work at an aquarium then.”

“Ah, yes. My home away from home.” You sighed, grinning as an idea came to mind.

“Why don’t I get you guys something from the gift shop? You don’t have to leave if you don’t want to, but I’m pretty sure they’ve got some cool new stuff.”

Wanda nodded and the boys followed behind you, your pass scanning through the doors once more before they arrived at the gift shop.

“Billy, Tommy, go wild.” You smirked.

“Nonsense. Boys, one thing and no more than $30. We may be on holiday, but I’m not made of money.” Wanda spoke sternly and you looked at her.

“Did you forget who adopted me? He’s literally worth over 80 billion dollars. He is made of money.”

Wanda blushed and nodded, letting you tell the boys that they could get anything they wanted. Billy brought a large stuffed shark to you at the counter whilst Tommy brought a mermaid sculpture. You smiled at him and offered them both to grab something else, but when Wanda placed a whale tail necklace on the table, you grinned.

You scanned their items before paying it with your card, making Wanda playfully glare at you whilst you rolled your eyes. “It’s the least I can do for Grace going all wild on you.”

“Did Grace do that again?” The man to your right, Damien, asked.

“Yeah, she went a bit wild. It’s okay, I calmed her down.”

“I swear, you have the magic touch or something, Y/N.” He turned to Wanda and her boys.

“She’s got control over them like nothing you’ve ever seen before. She can get in a pool of frenzied sharks and they won’t even touch her.”

Billy gasped as he looked at you, your ego boosted by the little boy’s admiration. “What time do you feed the sharks?!”

“They’ve already had their feeding for today, but you can come any day and they’ll be fed at 11 o’clock.” You winked at him, handing over his shark whilst you gave Tommy his mermaid sculpture.

“And here you go.” You handed Wanda the necklace and she thanked you, tying her hair up before she clasped the necklace around her neck.

And there it was.

You blushed incredibly quickly and pretended to drop your pen, kneeling down as you checked your hip. There, on it, was a small face-shaping crown next to a whale tail, a soft tingle coming from it as you stood.

“I-I’ll see you guys soon?” You offered.

“Sure.” Wanda smiled.

“Just ask f-for me at the front and they’ll call me on my radio.”

Wanda and the boys left the aquarium and you wiped the non-existent sweat off of your face. You looked over at Damien, a knowing grin on his face, and you shoved him whilst you went back to the aquarium.

But you couldn’t wait to see them again.

To see… her.

A/N - pls tell me someone understands the underlying meaning in the title 🥹

La mia top ten dei classici della letteratura americana

Eccoci a un nuovo post della serie dedicata ai Classici della letteratura e oggi tocca ai classici americani che io amo in particolare.

E intendo America come continente, non gli Sati Uniti solamente.

Naturalmente come sempre è una lista super soggettiva, non odiatemi se non nomino grandi della letteratura americana come Hemingway, Kerouac, Melville, Jack London, Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Faulkner o Harper Lee, vanno certamente letti e nominati, ma era una top ten e purtroppo ho dovuto escludere molti e lasciarmi guidare dai libri che io personalmente ho amato leggere.

Non vedo l'ora di scoprire invece i vostri preferiti di questa categoria, mi raccomando segnalatemeli in commento.

La mia top ten:

1. Radici, di Alex Haley

Link: https://amzn.to/45frRl8

Trama: Nella seconda metà del Settecento il giovane Kunta Kinte viene strappato dal suo villaggio africano e portato in America come schiavo. La sua vita cambierà, come quella dei suoi discendenti: Bell, Kizzy, Chicken George e tutti gli altri, fino a giungere ad Alex Haley, l'autore di queste pagine.

2. La valle del'Eden, di John Steinbeck

Link: https://amzn.to/3s922EI

Trama: Nel paese di Nod, a est del giardino dell'Eden, dove la progenie di Caino andò a vivere secondo la leggenda biblica e che nel romanzo di John Steinbeck corrisponde simbolicamente alla valle percorsa dal fiume Salinas nella California settentrionale, si intrecciano le storie di due famiglie, gli Hamilton e i Trask. Protagonisti della saga, che va dalla Guerra civile alla Prima guerra mondiale, da una parte il vecchio Samuel Hamilton, immigrato dall'Irlanda; e, dall'altra, Cyrus Trask insieme ai figli Adam e Charles, e ai nipoti Aron e Caleb, gemelli nati dalla misteriosa Cathy Ames.

3. Piccole donne, di Louisa May Alcott

Link: https://amzn.to/45jdTPh

Trama: Meg, Jo, Beth e Amy, quattro sorelle dal carattere molto diverso, si trovano improvvisamente ad affrontare la guerra: devono cambiare la propria vita per sostenere la mamma, mentre il padre è nell'esercito. Decidono così di fronteggiare le difficoltà con allegria e spirito di iniziativa..

4. Ti ucciderò, di Mickey Spillane

Link: https://amzn.to/3KLclpc

Trama: Quando Jack Williams viene trovato ucciso a colpi d’arma da fuoco, il detective Pat Chambers chiama il suo conoscente e amico più intimo di Jack, l’investigatore privato Mike Hammer. Ai tempi in cui avevano combattuto insieme, Jack era stato colpito da una baionetta giapponese per salvare Hammer, perdendo il braccio. Hammer giura di identificare l’assassino prima della polizia per compiere la sua vendetta personale. Il punto di partenza è l’elenco degli ospiti a una festa a casa di Jack la notte in cui è morto: la fidanzata di Jack, ex tossicodipendente, una bellissima psichiatra, due sorelle gemelle, uno studente universitario e un mafioso. Ma mentre li rintraccia, così fa anche l’assassino, e in poco tempo non sarà solo Jack a essere trovato morto. Ad attenderli, infatti, un’automatica calibro 45 munita di silenziatore. E anche Hammer è saldamente nel suo mirino...

5. Tarzan delle scimmie, di Edgar Rice Burroughs

Link: https://amzn.to/44eCCTB

Trama: Nel cuore della giungla più selvaggia il piccolo Lord Greystoke viene sottratto a un destino di morte certa dalla gorilla Kala, che lo adotta e lo alleva teneramente. Ma per quel suo corpo completamente privo di peli, il cucciolo d'uomo è osteggiato dagli altri membri della tribù. Determinato a non diventare cibo per Sabor, la leonessa, o per Sheeta, il leopardo, riesce a sopravvivere grazie alla sua forza fisica e alla sua intelligenza, che gli permettono di affrontare con audacia i pericoli della giungla, guadagnarsi il rispetto dei gorilla e diventare loro re. Da quel momento si farà chiamare Tarzan delle scimmie e il suo urlo selvaggio e terrificante riecheggerà nella foresta. Ma c'è una nuova e insolita sfida che Tarzan, ormai adulto, dovrà affrontare quando nella giungla arriveranno i suoi simili e con loro la bellissima Jane¿

6. La lettera scarlatta, di Nathaniel Hawthorne

Link: https://amzn.to/3QKeV2b

Trama: La giovane Ester Prynne, condannata per adulterio nella puritana Boston, sarà costretta a portare per sempre sul seno una fiammeggiante, scarlatta, lettera "A", da lei stessa ricamata. Ester non ha mai voluto rivelare il nome del suo "complice" che infine lacerato tra ansia di schiettezza e orgoglio, e perseguitato dal marito della giovane - cederà, confessando la sua colpa.

7. Il gabbiano Jonathan Livingstone, di Richard Bach

Link: https://amzn.to/3OEpJMH

Trama: Il gabbiano Jonathan Livingston non è come tutti gli altri. Là dove i suoi simili, schiavi di becco e pancia, si limitano a viaggetti per procurarsi il cibo inseguendo le barche da pesca, lui intuisce nel volo una bellezza e un valore assoluti. Tanto basta per meritargli il marchio dell'infamia e l'allontanamento dallo stormo Buonappetito. Solo, audace, sempre più libero, Jonathan il Reietto scopre l'ebbrezza del volo acrobatico e varca i confini di altri mondi, altre dimensioni abitate da gabbiani solitari simili a lui nella spasmodica fame e sete di perfezione. Ne diventa la guida, il maestro, il capo indiscusso, e tra i compagni incontrerà chi senza saperlo è pronto a raccogliere la sua eredità.

8. La casa degli spiriti, di Isabel allende (Cile)

Link: https://amzn.to/3P4EZUQ

9. Cent'anni di solitudine, di Gabriel García Márquez (Colombia)

Link: https://amzn.to/45tmf6y

Trama: Grandezza e decadenza della città di Macondo e della famiglia Buendia, in una successione appassionante di avvenimenti favolosi e grotteschi tra cronistoria e leggenda.

10. Anna dai capelli rossi, di Lucy Maud Montgomery (Canada)

Link: https://amzn.to/47zoU0v

Trama: Matthew e Marilla conducono una vita abitudinaria nel pacifico paesino di Avonlea. Ormai anziani, decidono di adottare un orfano che li aiuti a mandare avanti la fattoria. Ma invece del ragazzo promesso dall’orfanotrofio, a casa Cuthbert arriva Anna, una bambina dotata di una inesauribile immaginazione che finirà per conquistare tutti.

Onorevoli menzioni:

Uno yankee alla corte di re Artù, di Mark Twaine

Link: https://amzn.to/3YCvO0R

Trama: il protagonista, Hank Morgan, lo yankee del Connecticut, un capo officina della fabbrica d'armi Colt di Hartford, a causa di un violento alterco con un operaio a lui sottoposto, riceve in testa un colpo sferrato con una spranga di ferro e quando si risveglia scopre che è finito in Inghilterra, esattamente nel giorno 20 giugno dell'anno 528… Da qui, la sfrenata girandola senza fine di situazioni che ne derivano, alle prese con re Artù, i cavalieri della Tavola Rotonda, Lancillotto, Ginevra, il mago Merlino, la fata Morgana ecc.

. L'ultimo dei Mohicani, di James Fenimore Cooper

Link: https://amzn.to/46eO1ER

Trama: Ambientato nella colonia di New York durante la guerra franco-indiana, racconta la storia di un cacciatore bianco: Natty Bumpoo, soprannominato “Lungo Fucile” per la sua abilità con quest’arma. Bumpoo ha abbandonato la vita civile per vivere a contatto con la natura e rifugiarsi nella foresta con due suoi compagni, gli ultimi due pellerossa superstiti di una razza tra le più rispettate e antiche: i Mohicani. I tre personaggi si troveranno a dover aiutare le due figlie del generale inglese Munro, rapite dal nemico comune Magua, capo tribù degli Irochesi, alleati dei francesi, nemico giurato sia del generale Munro che di Occhio di Falco e dei suoi due amici: Cinghachgook e suo figlio Uncas. La storia ha come sfondo la guerra con frequenti battaglie tra gli eserciti francesi e inglesi che in guerriglie e scontri tra gli indiani schierati da una parte o dall’altra. La vittoria si deciderà con una tipica battaglia indiana, tra le tribù dei Mohicani e degli Irochesi con la morte del giovane Uncas, appunto l’ultimo dei Mohicani e di una delle figlie di Munro. Il racconto si chiude con il mesto presagio del capo dei Mohicani che sente avvicinarsi la fine del suo popolo.

a study in love

— i want to live on his tongue, build a home of gospel. although i am cognisant of the faults in a love that surpasses the very fabric of my being, i am, nonetheless, keeping record of the passages in which capture the very essence of it. there is not a perfect love, that i’ve come to learn. but there is the love that i have for you, and i do not think that i will ever want to or be without it (140223).

Bologna Estate 2023: ecco gli appuntamenti della settimana. Tra i numerosi appuntamenti del cartellone di Bologna Estate 2023, segnaliamo alcune iniziative nella settimana dal 4 al 10 agosto. Dal 4 al 7 agosto, Sotto le Stelle del Cinema dedica quattro serate al cinema di Nanni Moretti, in piazza Maggiore alle 21.30: 4 agosto Ecce bombo (1977, 103'), 5 agosto Bianca (1984, 95'), 6 agosto Palombella rossa (1989, 89'), 7 agosto Caro diario (1993, 101'). Dal 4 al 6 agosto, tra Monteacuto e Lizzano in Belvedere, la seconda edizione di Articoltura, il festival d'arte dell'Appennino nato per valorizzare il territorio in modo sostenibile a partire dalle risorse locali (agricoltura bio, turismo lento e di prossimità, cultura della montagna) e per portare in montagna opportunità culturali, legate all'arte in tutte le sue forme, dalla musica alla poesia, dalla danza al circo. Venerdì 4 agosto, nel parco di Villa Salina Malpighi a Castel Maggiore, Escursioni Sonore 2023 ospita Corde sonore, concerto con Eugenio Palumbo (mandolino) e Roberto Guarnieri (chitarra). Un progetto nato per riscoprire e rivalutare il vasto repertorio originale per mandolino e chitarra, ancora poco conosciuto. In programma brani di diversa epoca: dal Barocco al Romanticismo, fino allo stile moderno, con rivisitazioni di musiche popolari in stile classicheggiante trascritte dagli stessi musicisti. Sabato 5 agosto, la rassegna I suoni dell'Alto Reno ospita un concerto per duo chitarra classica nella Pieve di Borgo Capanne. Sempre sabato, all'interno della chiesa di San Lorenzo di Varignana a Castel San Pietro, che conserva suggestione e acustica di una chiesa romanica, si esibirà l'ensemble femminile Mulieris Voces di Firenzuola, diretto dal Maestro Edoardo Materassi, che annovera brani di diversi generi e periodi musicali, dalla musica antica, alle origini della polifonia, a quella contemporanea, abbracciando anche la musica etnica. Prima del concerto, alle 20.30, i Campanari di Poggio suonano le campane di San Lorenzo, disposte in apposite strutture a terra; il gruppo fa parte dell'Unione Campanari Bolognesi che si propone di tramandare e insegnare l'antica arte campanaria con le sue varie tecniche. Completa la giornata, nella rassegna In mezzo scorre il fiume, la visita alla cripta pre-romanica di stile longobardo del IX secolo della Chiesa. Domenica 6 agosto, nell'area naturale di Campola (Fontanelice), Angelo Adamo, musicista, pianista, virtuoso dell'armonica e astronomo mostra le stelle e racconta i miti legati alle costellazioni, le loro storie in relazione con le stagioni dell'anno e il lavoro dell'uomo, i miti che sono legati al cielo. A Castello Manservisi - Castelluccio di Porretta Terme, nell'ambito di Appennini in Circo, il magico Alex Turra si adopera tra carte, sparizioni, nodi impossibili, anelli e palle volanti. Sempre domenica, alle 18, il Parco del Cavaticcio ospita Il Sole di Hiroshima, la cerimonia delle lanterne galleggianti in ricordo delle vittime di Hiroshima, oltre a un laboratorio per bambini, una cena solidale e una performance teatrale.
