Colombia`s Magic: Explore 10 Captivating Destinations That Will Enchant You

[absurdthirst]

Do you think you could do one with the Pedro boys who are a/b/o and who have a omega reader in heat but she doesn't want to spend it with them but just be alone? If not that's totally cool and I love your writing:)

When You're In Heat & Want Nothing To Do With Him:

*** When reblogging or talking about Omegaverse, please remember that ‘a/b/o’ without the slash punctuation marks (/) is considered a slur for the Aboriginal people in Australia.

**Female Reader

Javier Peña: Pouty for sure. He had even told Steve he was taking off work, dreaming of having you on his cock the entire time. Now his ass is traveling back to Medellín with Murphy in the passenger seat. Deciding that getting out of town was the best option.

Ezra: Now that's just not going to work for him, little bird. The aphrodisiac that your body produces calls to him like a siren. Beckoning him to take what your very nature wishes to give him. In that tent, there's no privacy. While Ezra might not lay a hand on you, he will not shut up about what he would do if you would give him permission.

The Mandalorian: Takes the kid, engages the ground security protocols on the Razor Crest and leaves. He will be back in 3-5 business days, with multiple bounties to throw into carbonite and then takes off for the next world on his parsec tour. He doesn't even seem mad about it, it just is what it is.

Pero Tovar: He still expects you to ride your horse. If you aren't needing to be holed up in a nest with his body wedged between your thighs, then you must be moving. He cannot lose more time on this journey to the East and you are attracting more alphas that he will just have to kill.

Frankie Morales: Confused. Wondering if everything that has happened has made you think that he's no longer your alpha or maybe not the alpha you want. He wants to talk to you about it, but he knows that you are vulnerable right now, so he packs up the kids and they all go stay at Uncle Benny's for a few days so you can be alone like you want.

Marcus Pike: He's disappointed. He had everything planned. He was going to make sure that your every need was met and you were in as little pain as possible as you worked through you heat. Instead of being able to do it in person, he decides that it might be best to sleep at the office until it passes so he doesn't overstep. However, he has meals delivered to you and your favorite ones at that.

Max Phillips: Tilts his head at you and gives you that fake pouty look. The one that says he doesn't believe you for a second. You don't want orgasm after orgasm? That's strange, and people said he's the one without a beating heart.

Dave York: Angry. He is not happy that you want nothing to do with him. He needs to take care of you and you are denying him that. In a huff, he takes on a target and takes his aggression out on them. It's a little more messy than his normal jobs.

Oberyn Martell: Finds it fascinating. You are a mystery. An omega who doesn't wish to be cared for by an alpha. He sighs, thinking that it's a pity, it would have been fun, but he leaves you in peace. He will spent the time in the whorehouse, drinking and fucking while you have your wish.

Zach Wellison: It hurts. It makes him think that he's not good enough and it will definitely tap into that inferiority complex that he had. But he will give you what you want, you won't see him for days while you are going through your heat.

Marcus Moreno: Doesn't understand it, but that's not for him to decide. If you don't want him around, he needs to figure out a game plan. Do you want to stay somewhere else? Do you want him and Missy to go to his moms? Once you tell him exactly what you want, he's doing that and nothing more.

Max Lord: You were in heat? He didn't even notice. He was too busy trying to save his company.

Javi Gutierrez: Heartbroken that he cannot take care of you himself. He wants to pamper you and comfort you. Instead, he sends you to one of the best resorts for Omegas who wish to ride out a heat without an Alpha. Leaving them to pamper you.

Dieter Bravo: Whiny. He can smell how horny you are. How can you not want him to fuck you? Keep you full of his cock and cum? Aren't you about to tear your skin off???? You actually have to throw him out of the damn house in order to have a moment's peace.

Tim Rockford: Honestly? That's a relief. He's got this case that is eating up the hours and he doesn't have time to focus on you. He ends up sleeping at the office for two weeks straight and you have to call him to come home.

Joel Miller: He thinks you're stupid. He knows you will suffer more, but if that's what you want, be stubborn. He will give you the space you need, but he will also be standing guard around the decrepit house you are holed up in, making sure that no other alpha gets a whiff of you.

Marcus Acacius: Doesn't understand why you would not want him to be around you. But he's not going to fight you on this. He has his most trusted guards posted around his villa, they are betas so you will not be harassed by them. They will protect you because he has already been called before the emperors to discuss yet another bloody campaign on behalf of Rome's glory.

After hours|J.PEÑA

Javier Peña x reader

Summary: Going to Colombia with your friends sounds exciting right? Only if the whole reason you were here, wasn’t to be their translator. One night they drag you to a bar, you’re downing shots by yourself when a certain brown eyed man approached you. When you started flirting with him, you didn’t think you’d be back against a stall door, moaning his name. 2k ish

WARNINGS:SMUT!!! Unprotected p in v (wrap it up yall) degradation for like two seconds, my terrible spainish, dirty talking, public p in v (bathroom) alcohol, head f receiving, fingering f receiving

“he reaches down hikes up your dress, and pulls your panties to the side as he gets on his knees. You can feel him breathing against the bare exposed skin “fuck all this for me? So fuckin wet” ”

Walking in the crowded streets of Medellín, you and your friend group search for a night club with decent music bumping out of it. After about five minutes of walking around, your friends finally find a club they like. Entering the loud, packed and sweaty night club you head straight to the bar as your friends run quickly off to the dance floor, dancing to songs they didnt know, nor understand.

You were the most understanding of spainish out of the group and that was honestly a insult the whole language. Sitting at the bar in a stool closest to the wall, slightly muffling the loud, upbeat, club toons. You order a round of tequila shots for yourself, lighting a cigarette, sticking it between your lips, and inhaling.

Looking down at your bare legs adjusting your tight, sparkly, black, slip dress. Puffing away at your cigarette, creating a cloud around your body, as your shots arrive.

You thank the bartender, reaching into your purse and paying him. Putting your cigarette in the ash tray, downing your shot then sucking on a lime slice.

By your fourth and final one, youre on your third cigarette, the music sounds better and you’re seriously considering finding a attractive stranger, just to grind on them.

Looking down the bar, at the girls with their pretty dresses, paired with fruity drinks. The men with their collared shirts and dark liquor, one about four stools down from you, catches your gaze. He gets up and starts walking over towards you, he stands next you leaning on the bar.

“Qué estás bebiendo, cariño?”(What are you drinking, baby?) He leans towards you, taking the cigarette from your lips, stealing a puff and smirking.

You finally check him out. Black shoes, tight blue jeans, a tan button down with three buttons undone revealing his chest, sweat clinging to scattered hair.

His face is terribly handsome, his hair sticking to his tanned forehead, a thick moustache covering his top lip, the smirk that makes you wanna squeeze your tighs tightly together. Youre blaming the alcohol for the blush on your cheeks right now.

“Tequila, y tú?”(and you?) You wince at your terrible spainish accent praying it wont turn him away, he now takes a seat in the stool next to yours, angling his knees towards yours.

“Whiskey.” He takes a gulp, his ice clanking in his glass, as he lifts it to his lips. Laying the empty glass onto the bar counter, he looks at you. “Whats your name, baby?” Your face fulls with relief.

Thank god. No more shitty spainish has to be embarrassingly said to this poor man, it was bad enough that calling it “rusty” would be a insult, you’re pretty sure that the only reason your friends brought you on this trip was for your knowledge, even with the lack of said knowledge. They were too busy focusing on all the clubs they were gonna hit.

You tell him your name then ask him, “was it my accent that gave it away?” You cover your face with your hands, he pulls them away holding them in his “Or its your tolerance for that tequila you’ve been downing.” He laughs, you watch the way his dark brown eyes soften, practically disappearing when he laughs.

“Mines Javier.” He sounded proud of his name, it was meaningful to him. His eyes drop to your knees, slowing panning up your thighs, he drops his hand to the bottom of your thigh, you gasp.

His large tanned hand travels up your thigh slowly, occasionally looking up to your face to see it screw up the further up he gets. He stops at the top, moving up the hem of your dress, then dragging his hand to your inner thigh right on your tattoo. Rubbing slow circles then adding a squeeze, he smirks at you.

That tipped you over the edge, you squeeze your thighs together, begging for some attention to the aching in your panties.

He grazed the wet spot on your panties causing you to rut into his hand, then he removed his hand completely. “Fuck. Your spainish is better than your ability to hide how much you want me right now, cariño.” You almost whimper at his words before you can respond, he’s already calling the bartender over to order more tequila shots. Fuck you didnt need them. He was intoxicating enough.

The bartender lays four shots of tequila paired with a bowl of sliced lime, Javier pays him and pulls them closer. He slides two over to you, two for himself “No lime this time, cant be a bitch bout it.” He says squeezing your leg, you gasp sarcastically.

He raises his shot glass, you follow his lead lifting yours up and clinking it with his. You both bringing them to tap the bar before downing it, you cough and shake your head looking over at javier hes laughing at you with a much more calm reaction to the burning liquor.

Before you can address your struggle, hes already reaching reaching for the second one. “Vamos, hermosa!”(come on, beautiful)You pick up the glass, before you cheers with him your favourite song starts playing.

You down your shot “OHHHH SHITTTTTT.” You grab javiers hand, hop off your stool and start pulling him off his stool. He downs his shot, slamming the glass on the wooden bar, letting you pull him towards the dance floor. “What are you doing.”

He questions as you use your whole body weight, to pull him towards you “you gotta dance with me, i wont dissapoint you!”

He pulls you close to him by your waist. Feeling the music, you turn around facing away from Javier, you start to sway your hips to the music.

He holds your hips pushing your ass flush against his crouch, you move your hips more, still on beat. You swear you here a groan fall out of him followed by a quiet “Mierda.”(shit)

You wrap your arms around his neck pushing your back right against His chest. You can feel the tightness in his jeans on your ass, you can feel his throbbing and rutting when you sway your hips a certain way for god sake.

He takes a long sigh then spins you around, takes your face into his hold, and kisses you. A kiss of desperation, hes been holding it in all night, his mouth taste of cigarettes and whiskey. His tounge passes through your lips and teasing your own. He pulls away “fuck you for making me want you so bad hermosa.”

He grabs your wrist before you can reply pulling a gasp out of you, he pulls you like you once pulled him onto the dance floor towards the bathrooms. Your face heats up knowing exactly whats bout to happen,

He pushes the door open, scanning for anyone else, you lucked out there was no one.

He finds the cleanest stall pulling you in and against the door, it shakes as he presses up against you, grinding himself, while kissing you. “Are you clean?”

You nod “and on the pill.” That pulls a grin out of him, he reaches down hikes up your dress, and pulls your panties to the side as he gets on his knees. You can feel him breathing against the bare exposed skin “fuck all this for me? So fuckin wet”

he licks his lips then spits on your mound, attaching his lips this pulls a whimper out of you. His tounge draws experienced circles on your clit, dropping down to lick slit to clit every so often.

When your back starts arching, on the stall door Javier mutters something against you, feeling the vibrations of his words, but not hearing them.

He looks up at you with his sweet brown eyes, your face is screwed up with pleasure.

Keeping the eye contact, he lifts your leg placing it on his shoulder then, plunges two of his thick tanned digits into you, first gathering some slick, mouth still attached. This pushes you over the edge, as he pumps the length in out of you, curling his fingers to hit your sweet spot with ease.

You throw your head back letting out a moan “fuck javi.” You feel him smile on you, he quickens his pace, his fingers filling you up, mouth leaving no drop go to waste. You feel your orgasm approaching, squeezing Javier’s fingers like your life depends on it, he pulls them out and stands up.

“Fuck, you’re delicious baby.” He kisses your neck and unbuckles his jeans, releasing his throbbing need. You almost gasp at its appearance, its fucking beautiful, the perfect length and girth.

The veins popping out, the clean patch of hair above his base, you stare at it almost drooling.

He lets off your neck with a pop, you already know he marked you up. He spits on his hand and starts pumping himself, he pulls the tiny straps on your dress down.

Rubbing your shoulders then pulling the front down and his mouth opens. “Oh cariño, such pretty tits.” He takes a handful then attaches his mouth, sucking dark spots all over. A whimper slips out, forcing a groan out of him “Please javi, i need you.” You pull his face up, thats all that he needed to hear.

He grabs one of your legs placing it above his hip, rubbing the leaking tip on your wet folds. He looks up at you, placing a hand behind your head as he pushes the tip in.

You gasp as you feel just the tip entering, he pauses then pushes his full length in you the head hitting your cervix, making your knees buckle.

He moves his hand down to your hip keeping you up, “If you’re gonna dress like a slut, you’ll get fucked like one.” He smiles slamming back into you.

Your mind is blank. The sounds of groans, grunts, whimpers and moans is all the words being spoken other than javiers occasional dirty mumblings.

“Fuck, youre so fucking tight”

“This pussy was made for me”

You throw your head back, feeling your second orgasm approaching, all you can focus on is the sound of skin slapping together, and the wetness of the two of you connecting.

Javier knows it before you can collect your thoughts enough to tell him “Youre choking my dick up baby, is this sweet, little pussy coming for me? So fucking easy, baby. She needed me.” That threw you over the edge.

You flutter all around him, squeezing him so tight he can barely move. He fucks you through your orgasm, shortly after he cums inside of you, filling you up.

He pulls out, keeping your leg on his hip watching him leak out of you. You can feel yourself pulsing around nothing, already missing him filling you up.

“So fucking pretty.” He kisses your cheek, tucks himself away, adjusts your dress, finishing with a smirk.

You smile back at him fucked dumb. “Thank you for that-“, he opens the stall door walking you out of the bathroom and out of the club. A arm tightly wrapped around your waist, keeping your legs from buckling from under you.

“That was seriously the best sex I’ve ever had.” He smiles “Doesnt feel like you get much of it baby.” He slaps your ass, you nudge him and laugh

“Need a ride?” You nod, your friends haven’t noticed you were gone by now you’ll be fine ditching them. He walks you to his car, your eyes go wide. “Youre a fed? Only feds have this nice of a car here. Did i just fuck a fed.” You say, giggling.

He opens the car door for you, you jump in. He walks over to the driver side, putting the key in and starting the car. “This “fed” just gave you the best fuck of your life time, dont be bitching.”

He was right. He pulls up in front of your hotel, you’re almost sad you have to say goodbye. He takes a pen from his cup holder, clears his throat then, messily writes a number on your arm “Call me. Early morning, sorry cariño.” You smile, lean over, give him a kiss goodnight and hop out.

You may have leaked all over the seat the whole ride there, at least he wont forget you?

Happy Home Alone!!! I has a prompt:

Javier Peña + Stars.

Alright, Adira. I see you. Thank you for sending this over - I've missed writing for Javi P like you would not believe.

This is connected to Slopeside - and takes place after that main story is done. (And gives you a clue as to what's coming for them!)

WC: 1,346

He couldn’t sleep.  

It was too quiet - too dark, too still - and after so long in Colombia, he wasn’t used to it. 

The window was cracked, letting in a slight breeze, and as he stared at the ceiling, his eyes focused on a tiny sliver of moonlight just above his pillows, Javi sighed. 

He hadn’t been sleeping well, which wasn’t anything new. But the previous few months had been even worse than usual. It’s gonna take time to adjust. 

He’d been doing what he could - working long days with his father on the property, taking extra shifts and cases at work, trying to reconnect with people that he’d previously lost touch with, but nothing had done the trick. 

It didn’t matter how long he was awake or how hard he’d worked, it was next to impossible for him to fully unwind at the end of the day - and it meant that he was constantly exhausted. 

The same had been true in Colombia, but there’d been actual reasons for that. Javier’s belief was that once he was back home and on more of a regular schedule, things would change. I was wrong. Dead wrong. 

Still focused on the patch of light, he sighed again and then rolled onto his side, closing his eyes. 

He was putting off the inevitable and he knew it - just as he’d known it back while trying to chase sleep in Medellín and Bogotá and Cali. 

Even though he wasn’t asleep and didn’t think that he’d get there any time soon, getting out of bed and padding down the hall toward the front door wasn’t something he wanted to do. Not yet. 

His new position allowed him to look out the window that faced the back yard, the same opening between the curtains that let the moonlight in also allowing him a glimpse at the dark Texas sky - and the stars in it. 

He couldn’t see much through the crack, but what he could see brought a small smile to his face. There we go. One side of his mouth pulled upward for a few seconds before he let out a slow breath, the man’s eyes closing. Sleep, Peña.

It was too late to call you, and he knew it, but saying that he didn’t consider it would have been a lie. 

What the two of you were was undefined, but that didn’t mean that he hadn’t enjoyed getting to know you over the previous few months. 

A chance encounter at a ski resort during a holiday trip with the Murphys had ledJavi to a place that he hadn’t expected to go - and to a person that, a few years earlier, he never would have had the chance to meet. 

Not because he wouldn’t have been attracted to you or sought you out after seeing you for the first time, but because if he’d still been DEA in Colombia, there wouldn’t have been time for a vacation. 

But being back in Texas meant that he could take time off when he wanted to. He could travel out of state and not worry about being called in before his vacation had ended. It meant that he’d been able to take extra days, returning to Colorado only a few weeks after the first time. It meant that he could get to know you, not just get to know your body and worry about something ripping you away from him before either of you were ready. 

Javier hadn’t been in a real relationship since Lorraine, and even though he still wasn’t, he had to admit that he was closer with you than he had been to a woman at any time in Colombia, even with Helena. Or Elisa. He had fond memories of both of them and even though he’d cared, it had been a different kind of caring - what he was mentally and emotionally capable of at the time. And nothing more. 

He wondered how they were doing sometimes - with Helena more than Elisa, since Connie had actually heard from the woman after escorting her to safety, but it had been a little while. I could call someone down there. Someone I trust … someone to look into … 

He sighed again, closing his eyes and rubbing the space between his brows with the tips of his fingers. It wouldn’t do any good to ask about Helena, because the truth was, she was better off without him - just like so many others were. 

The thought woke up him entirely, the man pushing upward into a sitting position and then to his feet. Helena almost died because she was trying to get information for me. Elisa could have been killed because of what she knew and what we needed to have her do. Christina’s husband… well. Lorraine would have been miserable with me because I made her feel like she had to lie to keep me around.

And that was only the tip of the iceberg when it came to the women in his life, if he was being honest. Shit.  

He grabbed a pack of cigarettes and his lighter as he passed his dresser and headed for he the door - but Javier didn’t bother putting a shirt on. 

As he padded down the hallway and toward the kitchen, Javi stuck the pack and lighter into his pants pocket, the weight of both dragging the thin material down and exposing more of his belly. I’ll sit on the porch and smoke, and then … then I’ll go back to sleep. 

But when he stepped through the kitchen, the man reached for the cordless phone and curled his fingers around it, taking it with him into the still night air. 

He held it as he sunk into one of the chairs, staring at the device in his hand. It’s too late. It’s too… Javi set it down and lifted one hip, reaching for his cigarettes and pulling one free, the quiet flick of the lighter almost comforting. 

Javier smoked in silence until the cigarette was half gone, and then he reached for the phone, dialing the number he had memorized and lifting it to his ear. Just a short one. He briefly glanced down at the numbers after being prompted to enter in his code, but when he lifted it a second time after dialing your number - the automated voice reminding him that he had 54 minutes remaining as the call connected - he was already looking out at the sky again. 

I’ll leave her a message and she can listen in the morning. He sighed, closing his eyes and preparing for your instructions and then the beep - but you answered on the third ring, your voice sleepy through the speaker. “Mmmm-hello?” 

He said your name, the surprise in his tone evident, and then you cleared your throat, saying his in response. That woke her up. “Everything’s fine. Don’t worry. I just …” Trailing off, Javier took another drag on his cigarette, shrugging. “I couldn’t sleep, and -”

“And so you went outside to sit on your porch while you called me?” You were smiling; he knew it even though he couldn’t see it. I did. “I think I was dreaming about you, Peña.” 

“Yeah?” He smiled at that, rolling his head from side to side and reaching up with the hand not holding the phone -  to rub at  his temple, the cigarette still pinched between his first two fingers.  “Wanna tell me about it? I’ve got time.” 

It was your turn to laugh, but when you started talking, your voice quiet and steady, Javier felt himself relaxing. Only a few minutes later, he was standing and heading back for his room, cigarette stubbed out in the ashtray and the phone still held to his ear. 

Your voice over the phone was a poor substitute for you actually being in the bed with him, but until ski season ended in April and you were cleared to leave Colorado, it would have to do. Only a few more weeks. Only a few more weeks and then she’ll be in Texas. 

[tropes-and-tales]

Girl what these are sooo cute I love these Horacio blurbs so can I request one for him with the prompt MOVING PERSON A BY THEIR WAIST

There’s a lot that Colonel Carrillo finds admirable about you.  You’re smart.  You’re a hard worker.  You have a no-nonsense work ethic, always putting the mission above politics.  You have a good heart too—you somehow have managed to preserve a gentle kindness in your character despite seeing some of the worst parts of humanity.

If the Colonel has one complaint, though?  You are easily engrossed in things.  Spy photos, folders of intel, interview transcripts…more than once, he’s found you in the office late at night, bent over your desk, unblinking and so immersed that he has to snap his fingers under your nose before you rejoin him in this dimension.

Like now:  it’s supposed to be a casual night out with some of the team.  Trujillo left hours ago to go home to his wife.  Murphy left too.  Javier is currently posted in the corner with a woman and will likely disappear soon as well.

That leaves you and Carrillo, but you?  You’re standing near the bar, blocking the path back to the restrooms.  You’ve managed to find the one other person in Medellín who likes that awful music you listen to—heavy metal, it’s called. You and this man (young, handsome) argue good-naturedly, both of you gesturing wildly when the other says something.

This man (this lover of heavy metal who seems to think that German heavy metal is superior to American heavy metal, apparently, though Carrillo can’t tell the difference).  This man who is younger than Carrillo, closer to your age.  This man who is handsome, who smiles easily at you.

Carrillo has tried to get your attention three times now.  Your eyes drifted over him each time, not seeing him.  He knows that it’s just you engrossed in something as you often are, deep in your love of that awful music, happy for a conversation about it…and yet jealousy slices through his gut to see you laser-focused on a younger, more handsome man who understands and likes the same music as you.

It’s easy for his thoughts to run away from him.  He can picture you taking this younger, more handsome man back to your apartment.  Maybe you will put on an album, one of those guitar-heavy screaming songs that make his teeth ache and make him feel old.  Or maybe it’s just the nature of the work:  you and Carrillo see death every day, and this younger, more handsome man is outside of that, probably has an innocuous job.  Maybe he teaches at a school or works in the botanical gardens…

Carrillo shakes his head slightly, shakes loose the runaway thoughts.  He tries to wave you down a fourth time.  You don’t even turn towards him, so he marches over to you.  Pretends to need the restroom, but you don’t move.  You don’t notice him.

Maybe it’s the jealousy.  Maybe it’s the three whiskeys he nursed through the evening.  Maybe it’s the simmering attraction to you, the low-burning flame of all those late nights together—you engrossed in untangling intel, him watching you with bemused infatuation. 

It’s just as likely that it’s all three things:  his growing affection for you, the resultant jealousy, the slight intoxication.

Carrillo—who has never touched you beyond a handshake and a few incident brushes—puts his hands on you.  He puts his hands on either side of your waist (and it’s already crossing a point of no return for him because your shirt is untucked, and his right hand brushes against the sliver of bared skin there).  He lifts you a few inches from the ground and moves you aside, and he’s rewarded with your outraged squawk.

“You’re blocking the way,” he says, but he doesn’t stay to hear your reply.  He marches to the restroom, shuts the door behind him.  He only stands by the sink for a long moment, studies his own reflection.  He already regrets it, touching you like that.  He shouldn’t have.  He must be more drunk than he realized because he swears he can still feel you against his hand where he touched your skin.  Who knew you were so soft?  So warm?

He has to salvage it.  He meets his own gaze in the water-spotted mirror.  He has to go out there and apologize, then go straight home.  Ignore the moment until it becomes small and insignificant.  You’ve probably already forgotten it, he thinks.  You’ve probably already turned back to the younger, more handsome man, turned back to the conversation—

Carrillo doesn’t know it, but he’s wrong.  These are the final few moments of his one-sided infatuation, but he won’t realize that until later.  These are the last minutes before he realizes that it hasn’t been one-sided at all.  

You haven’t turned back to the other man; in fact, you’re standing on the other side of the restroom door, biting your lip in that way you do.  In a moment, when Carrillo opens the door, you’ll be right there—blocking the path, then putting your own hands on him in a way that’s so pushy that he’ll have to steady himself, put his hands on your waist again until the two of you find your equilibrium.

Pushing up trigo, maís, y frisoles

@flashfictionfridayofficial

FFF 253 Prompt: Pushing Up Daisies

Fandoms: Encanto, Harry Potter Characters: Hermione Granger, Isabela Madrigal Word count: 667 Ship: slight one-sided Hermione/Severus

Context: Years after the war, Hermione and Severus ("Snape", she keeps correcting herself) have been working together for the past year or so as a junior Arithmancer and senior Cursebreaker at Gringotts. They finished an assignment in Medellín, Colombia early, and Hermione convinced him to visit historic Santa Fe de Antioquia, a short drive away. They felt the pull of magic on the Río Cauca and followed it. While hiking along the river near Sabanalarga, they perhaps foolishly went through a strong magical barrier that on its top layer, felt like forgiveness.

It transported them into the Valle del Encanto, and the year 1949, three years after the destruction and restoration of the original Miracle and the Madrigals' family home, Casita. The first person they encountered? A short fellow with a large nose and a serious problem with how Hermione was dressed. Fortunately, Hermione can speak some Spanish - her parents had owned a holiday apartment in Spain.

Also likely a good thing, Severus cannot speak Spanish, but certain facts about his upbringing and professional education mean that he can make out some of the words... and later communicate directly with Bruno.

This scene takes place about a week or two after they arrived. "Frisoles" is an Antioqueño (Colombia) dialect word for "beans" ("frijoles" in Spanish).

Hermione had known Gamp's Five Laws of Transfiguration before she even set foot at Hogwarts.

And here was one of the most beautiful women she'd ever met blatantly violating the first one with every flick of her perfectly manicured fingers.

Or was she?

She looked at the ground as Isabela, Mirabel's oldest sister, manifested the tiny shoots. Little bits of the magic she had seen all around them, concentrated in the Madrigal family home and most strongly in Mirabel, were gathered into a small clump at the base of each new plant.

She wished that Mirabel was with them so that she could observe the effect this was having on her, but she was busy.

"Why don't you just create the crops fully grown and harvested, like you did all of those flowers for the party last week? Those weren't whole plants."

"I tried that, but as soon as they were cut up or cooked, they just disappeared. The raw fruit disappeared as soon as you took a bite of it. Even the whole plants I created fully grown and then had people harvest did that. They need to collect the sunshine, rain, and nutrients from the ground to actually be food," Isabela answered.

"But your aunt Pepa can rain and shine sun on them."

"I'm not sure what the difference is, but I think that her 'sun' just shoves away any natural rain a bit, and that her 'rain' is attracting and redirecting water that's already in the air. She's been doing this pretty much since she got her gift at five."

"And you have to come renew the charm," Isabela looked a bit confused at that, so Hermione rephrased, "you have to come encourage the plants to grow a few times before they're ready for harvest, you said."

"So far, that seems to be true, but I've only been doing this for the last three years - it took Mirabel jolting me out of the golden cage my family and I had built."

"Golden cage?" The Madrigals seemed to be pretty relaxed and easy-going towards the younger generation, other than socially-awkward Bruno, whose initially-ridiculous overreaction to seeing her in shorts made sense once she observed every other woman around wearing long, full skirts. Besides, he had been a non-factor in his nieces' and nephews' upbringing for most of their childhoods, if she and Severus ("Snape, Hermione. Snape," that little voice in her head scolded) had understood Mirabel and Bruno correctly.

"I'm sure that Mirabel or Bruno told you about what a mess we were three years ago. I was Señorita Perfecta Isabela, the pretty princesa who was all set to marry the town's handsome príncipe, Mariano Guzmán."

"Wait - that's Dolores' husband!"

Isabela grinned. "Sí. Gracias a Dios y la Santísima Madre… and Mirabel's complete lack of subtlety. She absolutely ruined our betrothal dinner."

Hermione had more questions. "How long does it take to grow a crop of, say, wheat?"

"Normally, four months. With my aunt's help alone, three. With both of us, plus little Antonio to direct the bees, one. We still have to spread dung and harvest it the old fashioned way, and I've only recently learned how to not grow weeds as quickly as I grow the things we want."

"I've not seen tractors here."

"There aren't any. Some of the Forty-sixers and even Fifteeners were used to them, but of course, there's no way to get that much petroleum here, even if we could build one. So we have the implements that Luisa, the donkeys, and the strongest men can pull, but mostly, the bare hands and scythes of pretty much everyone in town."

"Forty-sixers and Fifteeners?"

"When the larger new groups arrived - 1915 and 1946."

Further driving home to Hermione the shocking discovery she had made in Mirabel's sewing room: she and Severus ("Snape," her mind corrected, yet again) had been sent back to 1949 when they crossed that irresistible magic barrier that she really ought to have resisted.

The Future of Mobility: Exploring Colombia's Two-Wheeler Market Trends

As Colombia strides towards a future defined by modernity and sustainability, the two-wheeler market is experiencing transformative trends that reflect broader global shifts. This article explores the significant developments shaping the future of mobility in Colombia, highlighting the rise of electric motorcycles, the impact of urbanization, the evolving regulatory landscape, and the growing motorcycling culture, with a particular focus on "motos TVS precios."

Electric motorcycles are at the forefront of Colombia's mobility transformation. With growing environmental awareness and government incentives aimed at reducing carbon emissions, the market for electric two-wheelers is expanding rapidly. The Colombian government has implemented policies to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles, including tax benefits and subsidies for both manufacturers and consumers. This shift is part of a broader effort to address environmental concerns and reduce the nation's reliance on fossil fuels.

Electric motorcycles offer numerous advantages, including lower operating costs and reduced environmental impact. Brands like Stärker and NIU are leading the charge, offering models that cater to both urban commuters and long-distance riders. These electric bikes are equipped with advanced technology, providing users with features like regenerative braking, smartphone connectivity, and enhanced battery life.

Urbanization and Traffic Congestion

Colombia's rapid urbanization has led to increased traffic congestion, particularly in major cities like Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali. As the urban population grows, so does the demand for efficient and flexible transportation options. Two-wheelers, with their ability to navigate through traffic and find parking easily, are becoming an increasingly popular choice for urban commuters.

The government is responding to this trend by investing in infrastructure that supports two-wheeler use. Dedicated motorcycle lanes and parking spaces are being developed to accommodate the growing number of two-wheelers on the road. These initiatives not only improve traffic flow but also enhance safety for motorcyclists.

Safety and Regulatory Developments

Safety remains a critical concern in Colombia's two-wheeler market. The high rate of motorcycle accidents has prompted the government to introduce stricter regulations and safety standards. These measures include mandatory helmet use, regular vehicle inspections, and the implementation of advanced safety features in new models.

High-Performance and Premium Motorcycles

While practicality drives much of the demand for two-wheelers, there is also a thriving market for high-performance and premium motorcycles in Colombia. Enthusiasts are increasingly seeking out models that offer superior speed, handling, and design. Brands like Ducati, KTM, and BMW are capitalising on this trend by introducing models that cater to the tastes of affluent riders.

Technological Innovations

Innovation is a key driver in the evolution of Colombia's two-wheeler market. Manufacturers are integrating cutting-edge technology into their models to enhance performance, safety, and convenience. Features such as ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), traction control, and ride-by-wire throttle systems are becoming standard in many new motorcycles.

Moreover, the rise of connected vehicles is making its way into the two-wheeler segment. Smart helmets, GPS navigation systems, and Bluetooth connectivity are increasingly popular, providing riders with real-time information and improving their riding experience. These technological advancements are not only attracting tech-savvy consumers but also making motorcycles safer and more enjoyable to ride.

The Growing Motorcycling Culture

Colombia's motorcycling culture is vibrant and diverse, reflecting the country's rich heritage and dynamic social landscape. Motorcycle events, such as rallies, shows, and races, are popular across the nation, drawing enthusiasts from all walks of life. These events are not only a celebration of motorcycle culture but also a platform for raising awareness about road safety and promoting responsible riding.

Social media has played a significant role in fostering this culture, with communities forming around popular influencers and brands. Platforms like Instagram and Facebook are filled with content showcasing the latest models, customizations, and riding adventures, further fueling the passion for two-wheelers.

Conclusion

The future of mobility in Colombia is undoubtedly exciting, with the two-wheeler market poised for significant growth and innovation. The shift towards electric motorcycles, coupled with urbanisation, regulatory changes, and technological advancements, is transforming how Colombians move. As the market evolves, it will be crucial for stakeholders to continue prioritising safety, sustainability, and community engagement to ensure a bright future for two-wheelers in Colombia.

This dynamic landscape presents opportunities for manufacturers, policymakers, and riders alike to shape a more efficient, eco-friendly, and vibrant mobility ecosystem. As these trends continue to unfold, Colombia is set to become a leader in modern, sustainable transportation solutions, paving the way for other nations to follow.

Illicit Drug Gangs in Colombia

Colombia has long been associated with drug trafficking and the violent drug cartels that have dominated the country's underworld for decades. These illicit drug gangs have had a devastating impact on Colombian society, leading to rampant violence, corruption, and instability. While the country has made significant progress in recent years in combating these criminal organisations, they continue to pose a serious threat to the security and well-being of the Colombian people. The most infamous of these drug gangs was the Medellín Cartel, led by the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. The cartel was responsible for smuggling vast quantities of cocaine into the United States and Europe, amassing a fortune estimated at billions of dollars in the process. Escobar's reign of terror in the 1980s and 1990s led to countless deaths and the destruction of entire communities. The Colombian government, with the help of US authorities, eventually brought down Escobar and dismantled his cartel, but the vacuum left behind was quickly filled by other criminal organisations. One of the most powerful drug gangs operating in Colombia today is the Clan del Golfo, also known as Los Urabeños. This paramilitary group controls large swaths of territory in the country and is heavily involved in drug trafficking, extortion, and other criminal activities. The group has been responsible for a number of high-profile attacks against civilians and security forces, leading to increased levels of violence in the regions under its control. Another major player in the Colombian drug trade is the National Liberation Army (ELN), a Marxist guerrilla group that has been involved in drug trafficking to fund its insurgency against the government. The ELN has been responsible for numerous kidnappings, bombings, and other acts of violence, further destabilising the already fragile security situation in Colombia. Despite ongoing efforts by the Colombian government to combat these criminal organisations, the illicit drug trade continues to thrive in the country, fuelled by high demand in foreign markets and the attractive profits to be made from trafficking cocaine and other illegal substances. The presence of these drug gangs has had a devastating impact on Colombian society, leading to high levels of violence, corruption, and poverty in many parts of the country. In order to effectively address the issue of illicit drug gangs in Colombia, it will be necessary to tackle the root causes of the problem, including poverty, inequality, and lack of opportunities for young people. The Colombian government must also continue to work closely with international partners to disrupt the flow of illegal drugs and dismantle the criminal networks that profit from their distribution. Only by addressing these underlying issues can Colombia hope to build a more secure and prosperous future for its citizens. Read the full article
