⚜ Happy birthday @fangrui ⚜

I saw on your Anilist that Uenoyama is in your favorites! And I really have Given brain rot because of the last chapter recently. So I reread the series and have the songs stuck in my head. So what better time to color some Given for you than now? I hope you have a lovely birthday!

I say this to all those who start orv that when you reach the end of the story, of whichever version you chose, that it'll leave you shattered on the ground never being able to put yourself together as you were before

This kinda fits Desmonds mom in some way. Thoughts?

Here’s the embed video version for those who don’t wanna copy and paste the link:

I’m just imagining her hearing for the first time that her son, the son she hadn’t seen for nine years, could not even seen or talk to for one last time for the sake of both of their safety, was now dead.

Sacrificing his life to save the world.

Savior?

Messiah?

What used were those moniker to her dead son.

She wouldn’t be able to see him ever again.

She wouldn’t be able to touch his cheeks and take a good look of the man he had become in person.

She wouldn’t be able to smile and say “You’ve grown so much.”

She wouldn’t be able to ask…

“Were you happy these past years?”

“Was letting you go to be free worth the pain of not being by your side for nine long years?”

“It should have been you.”

She felt him freeze, the hands on her shoulders trembling ever so slightly.

“You should have died instead of our son!” She screamed as tears fell from her eyes.

He opened his mouth, most likely to call her name but stopped, letting out a gasp as her hands curled around his throat, squeezing him with the strength of an Assassin that have been in the field since she had been a teenager.

“You share the same blood as him! You’re a descendant of that cursed Auditore-Kenway line these beings haunt!” She shouted.

She could break his neck.

Snap it.

She’d done it before.

She’d kill so many people in the name of the Brotherhood before.

She was raised to be an Assassin.

She could just as easily-

She let out a frustrated scream as she threw him away, covering her eyes as bitter tears fell from her eyes.

He called out her name, his voice hoarse.

Was he grieving as well?

Did he loved their child as much as she did?

Who knows?

Who cares.

“Get out.” She lowered her hands as she ordered, the decades of forcing her emotions to shut down coming to the forefront, “Don’t ever show your face to me again, William Miles.”

Her expression turned to one of frigid nothingness.

It reminded William Miles of a recording of a memory of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad.

The face the legendary mentor had made when his desire to kill the man who killed his youngest son triumphed over his desire for peace and truth.

“The next time I see you, I will claw open your chest and rip your heart out.” She promised in an emotionless tone.

She watched him leave.

The man she loved and loathed in equal measure.

It should have been him.

No.

It should have been them.

They should have been the one to die in their son’s place.

They both failed him as parents.

And now…

All she had left was a Brotherhood barely afloat and the useless legacy of her blood.

After all…

Those who have the blood of the Ibn-La'Ahad were meant to lose their beloved child.

"You look stunning" his deep voice rings in the locker room.

You turn to the other side of the room and stop breathing when you see Mark dressed like an Egyptian pharaoh. You must admit he looks good… very good."

from @chrism02's equally thrilling and hot fic on Mark Rothko from John Logan's RED called "The Mummy" (if you think Mark fits the costume, it's gonna make even more sense once you read the latest chapter 🫣😱)

I am dying for the duality and the transitions... Two men who are very similar but also so opposite to each other... They are presented with different color contrast... One is with the darkness and storm, the other is with the sun and light...

also it is not represented, but we all know one is a cat and the other is a rat.....

Nothing has happened yet—thank God— but as he paces the floor of their bedroom, all he can think about is how if this goes south, they’d be angering the most powerful gang this side of the valley, and Daithi thinks that’s something he and Brian could do without.

It’s something they really could do without, knowing for a fact that they’ve stayed with The Belladonna Sierra too long to have any other place to run to. The farm has become more of a home the gang ever was, he supposes, but Evan knows they’re here. Their leader would come looking if they didn’t come back soon.

designs for mentioned members The Belladonna Sierra in our western AU. Haha get it- the initials- it’s— it’s just Banana Bus Squad. that’s the joke!

i have... never drawn any of them before (van literally dragged me into watching BBS for the sake of this AU and now i’m in hell) so it was a struggle finding a good balance between IRL appearance/avatar/vague historical accuracy, but i’m happy with what we ended up with!!

why do these happy silly guys look like they’re experiencing the horrors, huh?? well, you can read the fic HERE!!

Spoilers for Chapter Eleven without context:

[crimeronan]

when i finally write the prev golden guard fic (which i think will end up either a VERY long oneshot or just-a-couple-chapters novella-length piece rather than a Behemoth), and you read through the development of darius and gg's relationship and how carefree they were at the beginning, and how gg was keeping secrets from the start but clearly believed he had everything under control, and how he did everything he could to keep darius out of the emperor's coven without straight-up saying "hell is real and all the devils are here," and then things start getting worse and people/places/palismen start getting hurt and the stakes become increasingly more dire, and you read all of these complicated relationships and messiness regarding gg's loyalties to his wild witch rebel family versus to Not Being Replaced versus to Not Getting Darius Killed, and then the losses start to pile up and the horror starts to swallow the narrative, and the gg has always had a plan or an answer or an escape ready for any sticky situation until all of a sudden he doesn't anymore, and then darius is watching his frantic mentor collapse in a full-blown panic attack on the ground gasping "he knows. he knows i was in there," EXACTLY paralleling hunter's "he knows, he knows we were in there" in hollow mind..........

then you will all realize.

Pia! The latest chapter was EVERYTHING: Efnisien laughing, Temsen being so charmed by it, Efnisien and Gary ganging up on Temsen, Temsen and Efnisien ganging up on Gary, and the kissing?! We got hurt. We got comfort. We got fluff!!!! If it's not too much of a spoiler, could you please tell me who the other alpha is getting the echocardiogram? Is it Augus?

Thank you so much anon!!

I'm glad we finally kind of got through to the other side of this arc, because it was pretty painful in the middle of it, and Efnisien has grown so much and learned so much about himself too.

It was really exciting to write him trying new things and also show Gary being supportive about that!

You're spot on, anon, it's Augus! It's talked about earlier in the story, that Temsen is concerned that Augus might be a candidate for PACS, and when he does, Gary realises that the signs have been there all along in Mosk's case, and that they might need to really take that seriously / Augus might have to retire from being a companion after Mosk.

In a way, the mention of the alpha needing an echocardiogram is both foreshadowing for Augus' situation in Underline the Silver, but I didn't keep the name a secret for any huge reason except that Temsen is trying to be better about respecting patient confidentiality (at least around Efnisien lol), because of things Efnisien has said about it. I think who it is will be more obvious to people who read the story at once, vs. folks who are reading it chapter to chapter, because then it means many months can pass between learning something (Augus being suspected of having PACS) and something else (an alpha getting an echo because of suspected PACS). That's one of those 'might seem more connected upon a reread' or 'when I read this in two weeks as opposed to over two years.'

But yeah you nailed it, anon :D

I don't know yet if I'm going to have Augus officially diagnosed with PACS since that is a serious diagnosis and honestly I don't think you can be fully diagnosed until you actually have some kind of cardiac event, which I don't want him to have, I think he will be diagnosed as having signs that make him vulnerable to it, and they (doctors) will start implementing formal treatment/preventative-supportive treatment and firmly recommend that he retire from companionship and possibly even romantic relationships in general as a peak alpha.

!! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, I'm so glad to hear that you had a fantastic party!!! May all your birthday wishes come true this year <3

Ahhh THANK YOU<3<3<3 It was a day spent in the company of the best scoundrels, which was the only wish I had for my birthday and which was fulfilled and then some. I also got SPRING, after weeks of snow and below zero degrees, and I can't overstate how revived I feel.

Although in terms of gifts, my favourite are the handmade ones I got, among which was another stunning bodice from the incredible @sparkly-icelander, for what is now a growing collection:

Look at ittttt. I love it so much I want to wear it to bed.
