[enigmatic-mystery-777]

Hello, hello!

I have a new fluffy Daniel Jackson x reader one-shot! ^_^

Broken

Daniel's glasses break during a fight with a jaffa, and unfortunately, he cannot get his old frame design again. You're sad about this fact, and it's something he tries everything he can to dispel; he doesn't like it when you're sad. After all, it's his job to make you (and keep you) happy.

#OTD in 1865 – Police raid and close the Irish People offices; Rossa, Luby and O’Leary are arrested.

In mid-1863, James Stephens informed his colleagues he wished to start a newspaper, with financial aid from John O’Mahony and the Fenian Brotherhood in America. The offices were established at 12 Parliament Street, almost at the gates of Dublin Castle. The first edition of the Irish People appeared on 28 November 1863. The staff of the paper along with Charles Kickham were Thomas Clarke Luby and…

Chronology of my Stellatrix AU

Current Timeline: The events of the 1rd and 2rd seasons occur normally, with some changes to the characters' speeches or actions, but the vast majority remain the same. Things start to change with the events of the 3rd (non-existent) season.

The Plum Organization ➯ In Stella's search for Beatrix's sisters, she discovers a secret organization of witches, and by herself, discovers that Beatrix's entire family is made up of witches, and that Beatrix's disappearance as a baby was news which changed the course of the witch covens hidden around the Magical Dimension. It is discovered that Beatrix's family has an important status in wizarding society.

The First Circle of Almana: Penances ➯ Beatrix awakens in the world of souls with issues to be resolved, Penances, the first circle of the spiritual plane, in which she is taken by Charon to an island where she discovers a little crystal witch girl who is between life and death, and so, the two go on a mission to descend to the next circles of Almana.

Ghostly Conversations ➯ Stella secretly joins forces with Beatrix's sisters, even though they have their resentment against Solaria, to find a way to bring Beatrix back, in which the three try to make contact with Bea's spirit, but strangely, they managed to speak to former members of the Solarian Royal Family.

The Second Circle of Almana: Limbo ➯ The paths between the opening Gates to the next circle are long, but when they reach the second circle, they discover that the place is a desert of black sand and tormented souls that wander moaning and dragging themselves in every corner, from there, they they need to meet the leading Entity of that circle, just as they did in the first circle. In this circle, both go through many challenges, escaping from souls that are strangely obsessed with Beatrix, and that stick to her skin until the end of the journey, where both are instructed by the Entity to move forward.

Corpse Internal Freezing Spell ➯ In the middle of the night, a superior order orders that one of the coffins be removed in silence and without much fuss, this coffin is involved in a kind of rustic magic that has not been used for a long time, magic that preserved the body inside this coffin, and this body which has been carefully moved to an unknown location. Or, in the period before finding Bea's sisters, Stella found a spell in an old book in the Royal Archive and applied it to Beatrix's body, then, a few months into their partnership, Stella, Isobel and D'arcy took the cup of Bea to one of the structures of one of the covens, in this case, the Daniels Coven.

The Labyrinth Purgatory ➯ Beatrix and the little witch girl come to an ordeal to go to the next circle, both are tormented and haunted by nightmares and memories of their lives. In this situation, Beatrix discovers that the little witch's name is Sapphire and that she has two older sisters.

Annual Golden Leaf Ball ➯ The heirs of all the kingdoms of the Magical Dimension come together in a huge gathering that ends with Eraklyon declaring war on Solaria, and ties hastily formed between some heirs. Stella discovers that she is not alone when it comes to liking someone who is "unreachable" when it comes to romance.

Tranquility Bay ➯ The labyrinth was the difficult part, now, when Beatrix and Sapphire pass through rocks and some flying specters, the Bay is visible, from there, the souls leave and go to the Garden, there, Beatrix finds a familiar face: "Headmistress Farah?"

Where the Living Live ➯ Luna attempts peace deals as the king of Eraklyon screams about an unworthy throne and stolen territories, he gives a war cry and the soldiers mercilessly march to the Golden Land, where the inhabitants are taken to reinforced underground shelters, Stella is far away, going to Andros to ask for help with supplies for an innocent population.

"Miss D?" ➯ Dowling guides Beatrix and Sapphire through the Bay, Beatrix doesn't know how to act around the older woman, who seems to feel no resentment, when the two tell her of their common goal, Farah is shocked, "How did you two get through the other circles? That's it's– technically, it should be, impossible", none of them can explain it, just as they can't explain the butterflies that have followed Beatrix for so long, just as they can't explain why the paths seem to be in their favor, both continue until the Third Circle, with Beatrix muttering a small "I'm sorry" before leaving, her soul lighter and cleaner.

A Golden Queen ➯ The Ghosts continue to haunt even in times of war, and they know Stella's weakness, the ancestors of the Solarian royalty are secretive and manipulative, Stella fears becoming identical to all of them in the future to come, little does she know self defense, but fights with everything she can, the treaty of wars is clear, only magic, no weapons, 'it's like medieval times' she thinks when see the swords clashing and the blood drying on the ground, a strange feeling pricking her chest, that's when Stella has the first memory of her first past life.

Pantheon of Gods ➯ The Third Circle is empty, a sea of nothingness that makes Sapphire's hopes evaporate as quickly as they arose, Beatrix shows indignation and anger, but all she has left are tears to be cried, she does not want to continue So, she wants her heart to beat again, life was horrible but for the first time she feared what she might lose, she cries softly for Stella, even though she knows she won't be heard by the princess, when the fog on the ground gets thick, they both know that there is something wrong, when a thin layer shines and shines beneath them, the Gods are close, more than one could imagine.

The Holy Grail and the Saint(?) of Light ➯ Stella's memories are mixed up with those of her past life, at one point she is Star, the first saint of the Golden kingdom, with golden eyes and eight-pointed stars in place of pupils, with veils and silks adorning her as much as gold jewelry, the other point she is Stella, current princess of Solaria, whose spirits now haunt her, who is in the middle of a war, the memories confuse her, but do not distract her, they are like lived dreams, in one of these she sees, the Holy Grail, herself, she when Star, bent over in tears of gold, filling the Holy Grail, when Stella opens her eyes, she sees herself in front of that cup, in a dark place, the Royal Archive, the cup glows with golden liquid, and Stella knows what to do.

Third Circle of Almana: The Eternal Garden ➯ Surprise invades Beatrix when she finds herself lying in grass, there is a voice in her head as she nervously stands up, looking for Sapphire,"The spirits rest here, child, but you are far from come to peace.", The female voice was soft and deep at the same time, Beatrix didn't move, she stood still, waiting for any other speech, "What do you want, little one? The Garden is at your disposal.", there is a sad feeling inside the redhead when she sits on the grass again, she is exhausted, she doesn't want anything, she wants her, "You can't give me what I want. Who I want.", the woman's voice sighs, "Don't you remember who It's been a day, hasn't it, child?", Beatrix's tears stop, she doesn't understand, and the Goddess's voice continues to ring in her ears, "You need to go back."

The Return of the Saint ➯ Stella's birth was marked by a meteor shower, it was to be expected that she was destined for great things, so Luna thought, but when the guards found Stella leaving the Royal Archives in the middle of the night, her eyes different color, they were scared, the feeling they described was of a pure aura of superiority, the other day, Stella glowed, she shone confident and proud, like a translucent golden aura, she transformed into another person overnight, Luna thinks. Or, Stella has recovered the memories of her past life.

Farah protecting Saul please?

If a dead woman dies in a graveyard and only her sworn enemy is there to notice, was she ever alive to begin with?

There is a fight happening in the graveyard, silent but devastating nonetheless, and Farah Dowling is losing. She was always going to lose. Her head throbs with pain, her heart pounds in her chest, her hands shake -

"Saul would have been a problem, but he'll be on trial for the murder of Andreas. Sorry - attempted murder. Poor Andreas - it can't have been easy, staying in hiding for so long -"

Bitch, Farah thinks, and her hand is hers to control again. Her muscles are her own. There is clarity and strength once more, lent her by the spike of rage she feels unfurling in her gut.

There is a knife on her belt, right where Saul had insisted she carry one.

Saul is in danger, and Andreas is alive but stolen from them all, kept in hiding for sixteen years. Saul. Andreas. Her boys.

Rosalind is not expecting it when Farah stabs her in the heart. The older woman gasps, tries to pull away, tries to fall back - and Farah hates, hates that she can see the pride in her eyes when Farah stabs her again, viciously, with all her weight and all of her fury in the gesture. Cartilage crunches. Blood spurts, hot and wet, and Farah presses harder, pulls out, and stabs again.

Three times, to be sure.

"Perhaps I - was wrong. Good girl," Rosalind whispers with her dying breath, and Farah can't scream. She musn't scream - musn't bring anyone running to this place to see what she's just done, but she wants to. She wants to scream, wants to run, wants to do anything except standing here, watching the light leave Rosalind's eyes before she beheads her for good measure.

Nothing left to chance this time. Nothing resting beneath their feet like a ticking bomb. No more. Not ever again. She buries the body and then, taking hold of the head, she walks toward the school.

Two hours later:

Saul emerges from the van into the light of day and blinks.

This is not prison. This is Alfea, and there, standing ready to greet him, is -

"Farah." He's never been more relieved in his life, and, from the look on her face, neither has Farah. He can see it in the way her mouth turns upward, and in the way that her shoulders relax just a fraction. She smiles at him, and takes two steps forward, reaching out with both hands to take his hands in her own.

"Saul," she answers. "Are you alright?"

The guards remove the shackles they placed him in bare moments ago, and step away.

"I'm fine," Saul answers. He's grateful for the removal of the weighted iron cuffs, and even more grateful for the sound of the van pulling away, headed back to the prison without him in it. He's safe. He has no idea how, but Farah has worked a miracle. "What happened?" he asks, looking around him for the first time.

Andreas is standing to one side. Andreas is alive, and standing there, looking utterly shell-shocked. He's alive, Saul thinks again. Alive - not dead, not covered in his own blood at Aster Dell.

I didn't kill him, he thinks again. He's not entirely sure what to do with the information - not sure, either, that he believes his own eyes.

"You should be grateful for your Headmistress," Luna's voice intrudes, and Saul tears his attention away from the ghost standing in the courtyard and Beatrix Not-Daniels standing beside him, looking frightened and unsure.

"Your Majesty?" Saul asks.

There's something wrong, here, he thinks. Luna looks pale, Andreas looks - well, traumatized if he's honest, and Harvey - honest, dependable, unrufflable Ben Harvey - looks -

He looks relieved. No- more than relieved. He looks like he'd like to sleep for a week and then rise to dance in the streets. He's looking at Andreas with something approaching wonder and at Farah as if she's possibly the Goddess herself, and there's only one reason that would be.

Rosalind is dead, and they are all free. Farah truly has worked miracles.

"Oh," he says, dumbfounded, and Luna nods tightly.

"Yes," she answers. "Oh. Good day, Headmaster Silva. Headmistress."

She gets into the car. The caravan pulls away, and Saul is left standing in the courtyard, hands still in Farah's surrounded by the entire student body and the love of his life who has risen from the dead. His wrists hurt, and his heart is still pounding, and it is over. It is finally, finally over.

"Enough gawping, the lot of yous," he finally makes himself shout. He stands up straight, lets his gaze sweep over the mass of staring students, and steps into being Headmaster Silva again. "Get back to your tasks, go on! It was a funny five minutes, that's all!"

Sky does not retreat with the others. Saul's grateful for that, really, and at the same time he'd like a few seconds to collapse against something. He csn't do that with - with Andreas's son watching. He can't rest yet.

Farah has no such reservations. She waits only until the students have wandered away, heading back to their duties and the repairs to the school, to allow her grip on Saul's hands to become much less a welcoming clasp and more a desperate, clinging thing as she throws her arms around his neck.

"I'm so sorry, Saul," she whispers. "I'm sorry. I should have been faster - I should have gotten back to the school sooner -"

He shakes his head, and wraps his arms around her in turn.

"I'm alright," he repeats. "Farah - it's ok. I'm not hurt. You did it. Mind telling me what it was you did?"

He can guess, really. There's blood on Farah, he can smell it now, can feel it soaking into his clothes. That tracks. Killing is a messy business, murder doubly so. She must be fucking drenched in it, soaked from head to toe, though he'd never know it to look at her.

Pretty fiction to hide an ugly truth, he thinks, and the thought tires him down to his bones.

"You can let it go now," he murmurs, and Farah releases the illusion covering her with a sigh. She pulls away, allowing Saul to see the full extent of the carnage.

Sky swears. Saul sighs, and Farah sags just a bit.

"Looks like it was a close one," Saul says, and Farah smiles.

"Not as close as she'd have liked it to be," she answers. "I used the head to convince Luna to back down."

There's fierce, grim determination in her voice and also the sort of joy he's rarely heard from her over the years. He smiles, and clasps her hands again.

"Good," he answers.

"Saul," Andreas says, and it's all Saul can do not to release Farah's hands. He turns to look at the man he's missed like a limb for the last sixteen years.

He looks - older, Saul thinks. Tired, with grey in his beard and crow's feet around his eyes and a bit of a paunch starting to form around his waist.

He looks like the most beautiful sight Saul's ever seen, and he would very much like to allow his treacherous, racing heart to rule him, but he cannot.

"Andreas," he acknowledges. "You look good for a dead man."

"You should know, you were the one that stabbed him," Beatrix snaps, and Saul -

Does not feel like someone just stabbed him in return. He can breathe. It's ok. For the first time in sixteen years, it's alright.

He smiles.

"He started it," he returns easily, and to his surprise, Andreas returns that smile.

"Yes, I did," he acknowledges, and Beatrix gapes.

"What?!" she demands, and Andreas sighs.

"Little Storm," he starts, then stops, seeming to search for words.

"I think what your father means is that Rosalind got in his head and scrambled things. She tended to do that," Saul says. He squeezes Farah's hands once more and then, at last, he turns toward Andreas properly, and toward the young woman his partner has seemingly raised in Saul's absence.

Beatrix does not look at Saul. Instead, she looks to her father, who bows his head.

"I don't know what the truth is anymore," he confesses. "I felt her die. When it happened - the moment she was gone, I -" He shakes his head. "I was - so angry, this morning," he says. "And when she died it disappeared. I don't understand."

"You remember Aster Dell?" Saul asks, and Andreas nods. "You remember what came before it?"

Andreas shakes his head.

"It's all a blur," he answers. Saul nods.

Andreas is alive. Rosalind has had hold of him all this time, messing with his head, and Saul stabbed him, but he's alive and they have a second chance.

They've taken his weapons, he realizes - carted them away, and for the moment, that's for the best. He takes a step toward Andreas. Andreas stays still, looking at him warily.

"I'm not gonna hurt you," Saul says, and Harvey, behind him, sighs explosively.

"I'd fucking hope not," he says, and then he walks briskly past Saul and, opening his arms, he hugs Andreas firmly.

"We missed you so much," Ben says, voice trembling slightly. "I'm so glad you're not dead. Please don't run off again."

Andreas tenses. Andreas blinks, wide-eyed, and then, slowly, as if remembering how, Andreas bows his head, tucking it into Harvey's shoulder, and hugs his friend, gently at first and then harder, clinging for dear life. A single shudder travels through him, and Harvey holds him through it, clapping him on the shoulder and ruffling his hair.

"You're ok," he says, and Andreas gives a muffled laugh against his shoulder.

"Ben," he says. "I've missed you too." He clings for another moment and then pulls back, only to face Saul once again.

The moment of truth, Saul thinks. He stands, hands at his sides, not sure what to expect. He stabbed Andreas. He committed the worst crime of his entire life, and regardless of whether Andreas is alive, he still did that.

There's a scar on Andreas's forehead that Saul put there that day, staring at him like an accusatory finger and he can't make himself cross the distance. He wants to run. He wants to turn tail and flee, leave Alfea and his past - their past - behind him, but Sky is right here and Andreas is looking at him like he can't believe his eyes any more than Saul.

"Did you miss me?" he asks, in a voice that's barely more than a whisper, and it's all the incentive that Saul needs. With a half-swallowed sob, he throws his arms around Andreas and tries to blink the tears out of his eyes to no avail.

Andreas remembers how to hug much faster this time.

He still smells the same. His arms still feel like home, and his beard still scratches against Saul's carefully trimmed stubble exactly right.

"I missed you, you great lummox," Saul murmurs, and Andreas grips his shoulders tighter - tight enough to hurt. Saul can't bring himself to care.

"I'm sorry, Saul, I'm so sorry," Andreas pleads, and Saul grips him tighter.

"I've wanted you home every minute of every day, I never should have stabbed you," he apologizes. "I should've fought better, I should have knocked you out or -"

"I threw the fight," Andreas interrupts him.

Wait. What?

Saul pulls back. He stares at Andreas, startled.

"You did what?"

Farah touches their shoulders, and both men startle.

"Let's take this inside," she suggests.

“You’re guilty of all the same things I am. It’s just that everyone gives you a pass because you’re cute and charming.” + sambea?

Finding Sam Harvey at the Malacoy Academy hadn’t been hard. The boy was exactly the same as he had been at Alfea - smart and kind and maybe too nice for his own good. 

Enrolling herself had been a piece of cake, and she was smart enough to be put into third year classes with little assessment - a small mercy. 

Despite his initial shock at seeing her, Sam was nice to her, introducing her to his friends (which as much as Beatrix loathed to admit it, she didn’t entirely hate them), helping her with assignments and generally being a good person. 

It was exhausting, just how good he was. 

He was a good guy - not the kind people made fearful jokes about, but the kind who was truly truly good. 

And she wanted nothing more than to corrupt him. 

“Y’know you’re so good Harvey.” She said, nails tapping against the desk as she sat beside him. He looked at her, his big brown eyes falling on her face.

That was one of the things she liked about him. His eyes never focused on her body, but instead he kept them on her eyes and face. 

It had been weird at first, but now, she found it endearing. 

“Your father’s position gets you a lot of power, you know that right? Former Alfea professor, now working at the Malacoy Academy. Two of the biggest schools in the Otherworld. Wonder if all that power ever gets to your head.”

Sam raised an eyebrow in confusion and Beatrix smirked, leaning in closer. “I know what you were planning at Alfea. I mean killing Rosalind? You think me and my dad didn’t try that as well?”

Sam’s face changed from confusion to panic as he began shushing her. “No one here knows about that. Besides, I’m nothing like you. You’ve actually killed people Beatrix. My dad, Silva and Dowling may have played dumb, but they all knew it was you who killed Callum.”

Beatrix cocked her head, grinding her teeth. She sighed, crossing her arms as she spoke. “You’re guilty of all the same things I am Harvey. It’s just that everyone gives you a pass because you’re cute and charming. I wonder what your new friends would say if they knew about everything.” 

Sam stared at her, like he was seeing through her and it made Beatrix want to squirm. She had never seen his eyes so cold, let alone so filled with anger. “What do you want?” He asked harshly and she grinned at him.

“Darcy and Isobel Daniels’ contact information. They graduated here last year and they are the closest thing to finding my birth family that I have.” 

Sam shook his head, his floppy brown hair bouncing. “No way Beatrix. Those files are in the headmaster’s office. You want to get expelled, you’re doing it on your own.” 

Beatrix scoffed, her anger at him flaring. “Fine. I don’t need your help Harvey. I’ll just do this by myself.” 

She got up, shoving the chair out of her way and Sam’s hand grabbed onto her wrist. “Be careful Beatrix. You could make a fresh start here - don’t mess it up.” His eyes looked at her, earnest and filled with concern. 

She wanted to kill him. Who did he think he was? Her friend? She didn’t need his pity - or anyone else’s for that matter. 

Beatrix turned to glare at him. “You would know about that huh golden boy?” Sam’s grip loosened. “Daddy’s connections get you wherever and whatever you want. New school, new friends. But you’re still the same guy at Alfea who fucked up and ruined his relationship. You’re the one who had to leave and start over. Remember that.”

He pulled back like she had burnt him. For a moment, she hoped that she had. She stormed off, her electricity sparking as she exited the library, her heeled boots clicking against the tiles. 

Fucking goody two shoed professor’s son.

But sometimes, I may come online for an hour or two, depending on my mood. Blog is selective, private and mutual only. Also OC, multi fandom and multi-muse friendly too.

 RULE TWO/THREADS AND REPLIES  Replies can take a while to reply to, but I am not ignoring anyone. Please message if I haven't replied within a month.The best way to begin threads are through sending ask memes. I will also post open starters and maybe the occasional starter call. Not really a plotting person either; prefer to go with the flow.

RULE THREE/TRIGGERS I don't really have any triggers. That being said I will tag other people's triggers the best I can, and if I don't feel free to send a message and let me know. Don't send anon hate either. We all make mistakes and can't remember everything. Regarding shipping, I'm open to anything really. That being said, don't force any ships on any of my characters.

RULE FOUR/ETIQUETTE I do not tolerate any forms of hate. Racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia and any other forms of hate are not tolerated on this blog and I don't want to see any of it on the dash. It's an immediate hard block if I see anything. Respect each other, it's not that hard.

RULE FIVE/SHIPPING. Regarding shipping, I'm open to anything really. That being said, don't force any ships on any of my characters. I'll just unfollow/block if it continues to happen. I mostly ship for chemistry, but don't mind discussing ships beforehand if anyone wants to try anything out.
