Niall Horan Birth Imagine
"THAT'S NOT OKAY FOR ME TO FIND YOU OUT WITH ANOTHER GIRL, NIALL." You yell at Niall.
"But it's not true." Niall tries to explain.
"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! I DON'T WANT YOU BY ME ANYMORE WHEN I'M GIVING BIRTH TO YOUR BABY! I'm leaving. I'm going back to Minnesota to stay with my family." You say to Niall. You pack your bags with your stuff and the baby's stuff and you leave to head to the airport.
You got the soonest flight home.
On the plane you text your friend Alex and ask her to pick you up at the airport in St. Paul.
A few hours later you get off the plane and get your luggage and go get in Alex's car.
"Where's Niall?" She asks when you get in the car.
"I found him kissing another girl and I don't even want to see him now." You explain.
"Who is going to be with you when the baby comes?" Alex asks. You are 9 months pregnant and the baby could come any day now.
"I was hoping you would be with me." You say.
"I can. Yeah. Are you going to tell the fans what is going on between you and Niall?"
"I'm not planning on telling them but they might figure it out when they notice we're not going out together anymore but they might suspect that the baby is here too." You explain.
You have been hanging out with Alex since you got to Minnesota and there has been no sign of the baby yet.
You were chillin at home when you felt a sharp pain in your lower stomach. You look down and notice that you're water broke.
"Alex." You yell. She walks in and see that you're water broke. She helps you to the car and you head to the hospital.
A few hours later you had a beautiful baby girl in you're arms.
Tumblr media
"Are you going to post anything so the fans will know that she is here?" Alex asks.
"Yes I will. Can you hang me my phone?" You say. Alex hands you you're phone.
You take a beautiful picture of the baby and post it on Instagram.
(Your Insta username) Hey everyone. I would like to announce that a couple hours ago I gave birth to this beautiful baby girl. Her name is Grace Victoria Horan.
Tumblr media
After you posted it Niall was calling you. You decide to answer to see what he wants.
"Hey Niall what do you want?" You say.
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry and that the photo online was actually photoshopped. I would never do that to you." Niall explains.
"I don't know if I should believe you." You say.
" Actually I checked and it is photoshopped by a fan trying to get you guys broken up." Alex explains.
"Can you come home now?" Niall asks.
"Niall, I can't come home. I'm in the hospital since I just had the baby today. How about you fly to Minnesota and Alex will come and pick you up." You say.
The next day Niall showed up at the hospital.
"Hi Niall. I'm sorry for everything." You say.
"I'm sorry too, babe." Niall says.
" Niall, here's your baby girl, Grace Victoria Horan." You say handing you're baby to Niall.
You take a picture of them and post it on Instagram.
( You're Instagram username) @NiallHoranofficial He finally met his baby girl. I'm sorry again for everything babe 😘
Tumblr media
You and Niall got married and moved out of your apartment and into a bigger home in London and had 2 more kids.
You had a son after Grace named Michael James Horan.
After Michael you had another girl named Moyra Rose Horan.

1. Of the fics you’ve written, which is your favorite and why? 2. Which scene was your favorite to write in The Fox and The Maiden Fair?3. Which part of The Sea Wolves was hardest to write?
1. Of the fics you’ve written, which is your favorite and why? 
It’s impossible to pick just one. I would say that I love The Saxon Rose and The Ouroboros because it’s one of my first stories for Vikings fandom and also because I wanted to write Blaeja and Sigurd since he was born in season 2. 
The Fox and The Maiden Fair is my first for Ivar’s Heathen Army and my interpretation of what could have happened in Ireland during Ivar’s life. I really need to go back to this one when I have free time.
Ebb Tide is special because I love Selkies and I knew I would write about them one day. Then History Channel released that promo video of Ivar washing his bloody face in that lake and @goldentailedmermaids wrote Lurking In The Abyss and inspired me as usual.
I would say The Enemy’s Daughter is the realization I betrayed Sigurd for Ivar, being capable to write his Blaeja as Ivar’s wife instead, muahahaha. Another story that I need to go back soon. The way I intend to finish this one is another explanation for Ivar’s nickname. *evil laughter*
Last but never least… The Sea Wolves/Alpha and Omega: I believe the characters changed through their journey and it’s a topic I wanted to explore, but was afraid to be disrespectful with rape victims. 
2. Which scene was your favorite to write in The Fox and The Maiden Fair?
When the slow burn was over, muahahahaha. 
3. Which part of The Sea Wolves was hardest to write?
The first chapter was one of the hardest because it was the first time I wrote about sexual violence and I wanted to be sensitive, considering the victim’s perspective, without making it unbearable for those who enjoy rape fantasy stories.
The childbirth scene was painful as well. Even though, I started the story with this ending in mind, when I sat to write it, I cried and had to stop many times because I was afraid it was too much for Moyra to endure in both endings.

4, 8, 11 for the fic ask game? :3
Aww, thanks Rose :33
4. Tell me about one of your abandoned WIPs. Why did you abandon it?
You mean 90% of my writing folder? Usually lack of time or interest fizzling out. I did have a huge modern AU for LOTR that was basically all the Second Age "kids" (Elrond, Elros, Gil-Galad, Thranduil, Celebrían, etc) in university. I came up with a huge timeline for the entire family tree (Finwëans AND Thingol's lot) that converted all those elf ages into reasonable human equivalents, and I even had a chapter-by-chapter outline of everything. I was going to draw on my own experiences at university...and then I had a very boring undergrad where I did nothing except go to classes and do homework, and I barely spent any time on campus outside of class much less go to any clubs or get involved in student life.
So that was that. I may go back to it one day, but it's going to take a lot of work.
8. How do you develop your OCs?
I don't really have many OCs (that you've seen, yet), but I usually start with the question "What is their role in this story?" And then having figured out what they're in here for (detail fluff? plot machinations? worldbuilding? etc), I try and figure out their vibe. My go-to for vibe is always speech - how do they talk? What is the sound of their voice like? Do they make any gestures when they talk? How do they inflect words? And so on.
To help with that, I think about people I've met or heard their voice before, and I base the OC off of people with similar backgrounds or characters. For example, Moyra Spinner, my no-nonsense OC mentor for Cumulous in On the Composition of Clouds, has a voice that's based off a mixture of my medieval history professor and my advanced Latin professor. Very kind people, but also with a straightforwards, almost blunt way of communicating sometimes!
11. already answered!

ALL THE BOOKS I READ in 2020
I read 56 books in 2020. I’ll begin with the three I’ve read in 2021:
After Claude, Iris Owens
Bitter and nasty
Parallel Lives: Five Victorian Marriages, Phyllis Rose
This was wonderful – really sane and wise and made me think a lot about power in relationships. What kind of partnership do I want? Maybe none?
Excellent Women, Barbara Pym
I think a cold and rubbish January is a very nice time to be reading Barbara Pym – novels about quiet bat people, plain little nobodies who notice things and do good works. They’re comforting in an abstract way and also quite tragic. I do hate that they give Barbara Pym novels such awful and sexist front covers. Just because a book is written by a woman does not mean it should have a rubbish cover that makes it look like the kind of book people buy at the airport and then leave on holiday.
In 2020
(rereads in italics, best books in bold)
Theft By Finding: Diaries 1977-2002, David Sedaris
Convenience Store Woman, Sakaya Murata
Kudos, Rachel Cusk
this was good but I find all of her work so incredibly depressing that I’m not sure I’ll read anymore. Her way of describing life sucks all of the joy from every possible experience.
Motherhood, Sheila Heti
Sheila Heti is one of my favourite writers – Women in Clothes is an incredible book. This was so good to read.
The Blind Assassin, Margaret Atwood
Gang Leader for A Day, Sudhir Venkatesh
How to argue with a racist, Adam Rutherford
Shiver, Maggie Stiefvater
Pachinko, Min Jin Lee
Attention, Joshua Cohen 
Reading Attention was an experience that made me think; isn’t it incredible that really intelligent people write things down and we get to read them and see how they think? What a joy and a privilege.
My Year of Rest and Relaxation, Ottessa Moshfegh
I read a review of Ottessa Moshfegh’s latest novel in the LRB where the reviewer called her a high-functioning literary troll. I agree.
Eileen, Ottessa Moshfegh
The Topeka School, Ben Lerner
Later, Paul Lisicky
Me and my friend Z love to read memoirs and this is a lovely memoir/book of thoughts by a writer living in Provincetown during the AIDS epidemic.
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Rick Riordan (I reread all 5 Percy Jackson books)
Between You & Me, Mary Norris
War and Peace, Leo Tolstoy
I can’t believe I read all of War and Peace. I loved the Peace bits and skipped a few of the War parts. The Peace bits are like a good episode of Eastenders except where you just get the sense that the writer has the utmost love, care, and affection for their characters. It is as good as people say it is!
The Princess Diaries (Books 1-10) Meg Cabot
The Mediator (Books 1-6) Meg Cabot
Weather, Jenny Offill
I Capture the Castle, Dodie Smith
Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life, William Finnegan
This is one of the best books I’ve read in ages – I wish I could read it again for the first time. I have never found writing about surfing (a sport my brother loves that I don’t know that much about) so incredibly fascinating and beautiful. Astonishingly good.
Heimat, Nora Krug
Bunny, Mona Awad
Where the Crawdads Sing, Delia Owens
The Nickel Boys, Colson Whitehead
This is probably the most tragic book I have ever read – but not in a Little Life pain-porn suffering kind of way. Very good.
Girl, Woman, Other, Bernadine Evaristo
The Robber Bride, Margaret Atwood
I think Margaret Atwood is a genius and this book is an excellent piece of evidence to back up my point of view.
All about love, bell hooks
How to Fail, Elizabeth Day
The Secret History, Donna Tartt
Why I’m not longer talking to white people about race, Reni Eddo-Lodge
The Secret Barrister: Stories of the Law and How it’s broken
Oryx & Crake, Margaret Atwood
El camino de Ida, Ricardo Piglia
I read this in Spanish for uni but it was great – all about the Unabomber (kind of).
In the Distance, Hernan Diaz
This fits into one of my favourite genres – it is a Western. Wonderful. I was reading it in the sitting room and kept reading out sentences to my flatmates because they were so good.
The Appointment, Katherina Volckmer
This is both good and short.
Index Cards, Moyra Davey
I read this in one afternoon in Ridley Road Social Club. They had an event in the evening and as I sat there reading it some drunk girls came and sat across from me and asked me how I could concentrate and read for so long. I was with a friend who was listening to records at Hidden Sounds. I loved it and it made me feel like I did when I read Joshua Cohen’s Attention – how nice to be able to see into other people’s brains and think more about what they’ve been thinking about.
The Mothers, Brit Bennett

Wonderful!  Thank you😁❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fascinating facts about Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation
Coronations always take place at Westminster Abbey, but before the abbey’s creation they were carried out in Bath, Oxford, or Canterbury— wherever was most convenient. 
The Queen succeeded to the Throne on the 6 February, 1952 on the death of her father, King George VI. She was in Kenya at the time and became the first Sovereign in over 200 years to accede while abroad.
The Coronation service used for Queen Elizabeth II descends directly from that of King Edgar at Bath in 973. The original 14th century order of service was written in Latin and was used until the Coronation of Elizabeth I.
The incumbent Earl Marshal is responsible for organising the Coronation. Since 1386 the position has been undertaken by The Duke of Norfolk. The 16th Duke of Norfolk was responsible for The Queen’s Coronation in 1953 and he was also responsible for the State funeral of Sir Winston Churchill (1965) and the investiture of The Prince of Wales (1969).
Queen Elizabeth II was crowned on 2 June, 1953 in Westminster Abbey. Her Majesty was the thirty-ninth Sovereign to be crowned at Westminster Abbey.
The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh were driven from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey in the Gold State Coach – pulled by eight grey gelding horses: Cunningham, Tovey, Noah, Tedder, Eisenhower, Snow White, Tipperary and McCreery. 
The Queen held a mix of white flowers including orchids, lilies-of-the-valley, stephanotis, orchids, and carnations. 
The Queen’s Coronation dress, designed by British Fashion designer Norman Hartnell, was made of white satin and embroidered with the emblems of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth in gold and silver thread. 
Queen Elizabeth II with her maids of honour after the coronation (left to right) Lady Moyra Hamilton; Lady Rosemary Spencer-Churchill; Lady Anne Coke; Lady Jane Heathcote-Drummond-Willoughby; Lady Jane Vane-Tempest-Stewart; Lady Mary Baillie-Hamilton; and the mistress of the robes, the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire
The Royal Family poses for a portrait during the historical day, with Prince Charles and Princess Anne in the center.
Since the Coronation, The Queen has worn the Coronation dress six times including the Opening of Parliament in New Zealand and Australia in 1954.
Chefs, gardeners, and housemaids gathered inside the Grand Hall at Buckingham Palace to watch the Queen ride to Westminster Abbey.
The Queen’s Coronation service began at 11.15am and lasted almost three hours.
On her way to the Coronation, Her Majesty wore the George IV State Diadem - the crown depicted on stamps. Made in 1820, the Diadem features roses, shamrocks and thistles with 1,333 diamonds and 169 pearls. 
The Sovereign’s procession was made up of 250 people including Church leaders, Commonwealth Prime Ministers, members of the Royal Household, civil and military leaders and the Yeoman of the Guard.
The Archbishop of Canterbury conducted the service, a duty which has been undertaken since the Conquest in 1066. For the first time in 1953, a representative of another Church, the Moderator of the Church of Scotland, also took part.
The Coronation service fell into six parts: the recognition, the oath, the anointing, the investiture (which includes the crowning), the enthronement and the homage
The recipe for the Anointing Oil contains oils of orange, roses, cinnamon, musk and ambergris. Usually a batch is made to last a few Coronations, but in May 1941 a bomb hit the Deanery destroying the phial, so a new batch was made.
During the investiture, The Queen first put on the newly-made Colobium Sindonis - a loose linen-lawn garment, and then a robe of cloth of gold called the Dalmatic or Supertunica.
The Lord Great Chamberlain presented the golden spurs, the symbol of chivalry, after which the Archbishop of Canterbury presented a jewelled sword, and then the armills, the golden bracelets of sincerity and wisdom. Finally, The Queen put on stole and cloth of gold Robe Royal and received the orb, the coronation ring, the glove, and then the sceptre.
Prince Charles was the first child to witness his mother’s coronation as Sovereign. Princess Anne did not attend the ceremony as she was considered too young. 
Prince Charles received a special hand-painted children’s invitation to his mother’s Coronation. 
A total of 8,251 guests attended The Queen’s Coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey. 129 nations and territories were officially represented at the Coronation service. Some people in the Abbey witnessed their fourth Coronation. Princess Marie Louise (Queen Victoria’s granddaughter) had also seen the Coronations of King Edward VII (1902),  King George V (1911) and King George VI (1937).
The Queen was crowned in St Edward’s Chair, made in 1300 for Edward I and used at every Coronation since that time. It is permanently kept in Westminster Abbey. 
The St. Edward’s Crown, made in 1661, was placed on the head of The Queen during the Coronation service. It weighs 4 pounds and 12 ounces and is made of solid gold. 
Over 27 million people watched the event live on television in Britain and 11 million listened on the radio. Millions more watched in the United States. There were more than 2,000 journalists and 500 photographers from 92 nations on the Coronation route. Among the many foreign journalists was Jacqueline Bouvier (later the First Lady of the United States of America, Jackie Kennedy), who was working for the Washington Times-Herald at the time.
The return route was designed so that the procession could be seen by as many people in London as possible. The 7.2 km route took the 16,000 participants two hours to complete. 
Many people camped in The Mall to catch a glimpse of the procession, including a family who had sailed all the way from Australia in a ketch for the occasion. Thousands more celebrated throughout the country and the Commonwealth with street parties. The Ministry of Food granted 82 applications for people to roast oxen if they could prove that by tradition, an ox had been roasted at previous Coronations – a welcome concession at a time the meat ration was two shillings a week.
Just under 30,000 men took part in the procession – 3,600 from the Royal Navy, 16,100 from the Army and 7,000 from the RAF, 2,000 from the Commonwealth and 500 from the ‘Colonies’. There were 6,700 reserve and administrative troops, while 1,000 officers and men of the Royal military police were bought in to assist the Metropolitan police. A further 7,000 police were drawn from 75 provincial forces. The Queen Salote of Tonga won the hearts of the waiting crowds by refusing to raise the roof of her carriage for protection despite the rain.
After the crown, the orb, also made in 1661, was the most important piece of regalia. It is a globe of gold surrounded by a cross girdled by a band of diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphire and pearls with a large amethyst at the summit.
The Coronation ring, known as 'The Wedding Ring of England’ was placed on The Queen's fourth finger of her right hand in accordance with tradition. Made for the Coronation of King William IV in 1831, the ring has been worn at every coronation since then, except of Queen Victoria, whose fingers were so small that the ring could not be reduced far enough in size and an alternative was created.
The Imperial State Crown, which was worn by The Queen during her return to Buckingham Palace, contained four pearls traditionally believed to have been Queen Elizabeth I’s earrings.
The Queen appeared with her family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace still wearing the Imperial State Crown and the Royal Robes to greet the cheering crowds. Her Majesty appeared again on the balcony at 9.45 pm to turn on the 'lights of London’.
Lights cascaded down the Mall, lighting the huge cipher on Admiralty Arch and turning the fountains in Trafalgar Square into liquid silver, until all the floodlights from the National Gallery to the Tower of London had been illuminated.
Coronation Chicken was invented for the foreign guests who were to be entertained after the Coronation. The food had to be prepared in advance, and Florist Constance Spry proposed a recipe of cold chicken in a curry cream sauce with a well-seasoned dressed salad of rice, green peas and mixed herbs. Constance Spry’s recipe won the approval of the Minister of Works and has since been known as Coronation Chicken.
Numerous official photographs were taken in Buckingham Palace after the Coronation, but the most memorable are those taken by Cecil Beaton. For his defining image he posed The Queen in front of a backdrop depicting Henry VII’s Chapel in Westminster Abbey. The official artist for the Coronation was Polish artist Feliks Topolski, who produced a permanent record of the occasion in the Lower Corridor in Buckingham Palace. The painting was made in 14 sections, each well over a metre high.

A wee Coolamon painting to celebrate all the mothers in this world. Happy Mother’s Day to Moyra, to Marjorie, to Dosssie, to Michelle, to Tess, to Pukpaw and to the many many other mothers thank you, we love you. The Coolamon is a favourite subject of mine, the perfect motif to celebrate the feminine and motherhood. The Coolamon (Syzygium Moorei) was the subject of my 2018 exhibition #TheFourInvitationsOfSyzygiumMoorei ... The Four Invitations Of Syzygium Moorei is a series of paintings about the Coolamon Tree (Syzygium Moorei) and it’s profoundly feminine presence in our #byronbay landscape. The Coolamon Tree (Syzygium Moorei) is also know by the names Rose Apple, Robby, Durobby, Watermelon Tree, Coolamon Rose Apple. The species is a heavenly reminder of the beauty and wonder of this world and particularly of the country around #ByronBay. This tree is endemic to the area from Mudgeeraba to the Richmond River. It belongs in this country and may offer some gifts and guidance on how to thrive in this place. #australianlandscapeartist #abstractlandscape #australianartist (at Byron Bay, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/COpy-iNjTMh/?igshid=1ffwls1leb8pa

Who is your favorite OC of yours? (tell us why)
It’s impossible to choose. I’m sorry. Hahahaha. I try to write them in a way that they look different from one another. I’m not sure if I’m succeeding. :(
I’m talking about my female characters. I’ll write more about the male characters later. Thanks for your asks. I love you. ^^
I like that Blaeja from The Saxon Rose and The Ouroboros speak her mind to her father, trying to make Aella see his mistakes and the possibilities to handle the conflicts in a different way. The way she tries to act like her mother should, especially to protect her brother, is what I try to emphasize.
Blaeja from The Enemy’s Daughter is a little bit different. She is protective of her people and brother as well, sending him away before the Ragnarssons can do something against him. But I feel like she is darker and bolder. I mean, she challenged Ivar, hahaha. *wink
===
The Fox and The Maiden Fair
Emer: The Irish princess is smart and taught a trick Ivar was famous for, hahahaha. Yeah, the ox’s hide. Hahahaha. She will face many internal conflicts because differently from Blaeja, her father is still alive and causing problems in her marriage and daily life. Not to mention the religious aspect.
Sorcha: She is suspicious of Emer at first because Ivar’s wife is part of the society enslaving her. But when Sorcha gets to know that she is also a woman with her own struggles doing her best to help those around her, she starts to bond with Emer. Especially after her sister, Rhona, tries to change her slave status by throwing herself at Ivar.
Rhona: I know some people hate the girl because of what she tried to do. But I don’t blame her, she tried to do what she could to change her situation and she was not wrong to rebel against slavery.
Borghild: Sigvards’s first wife is a thoughtful, humble and supportive person. I’ll try to write more about her and the dynamic of her marriage, since Sigvard has a second wife. I don’t want to give spoilers, but she had suffered for not being able to have children. Now she feels like Harald is her son as well as Thora. They work together like sisters, not that I think there is no jealousy. 
Thora: She has a playful nature and a more free approach to her sexuality.

A Grumpy Customer
Emer: She is a little shyer than Helena/Blaeja. But as it’s a modern setting, she is more independent and free about her sexuality.
Helena. Do you know that one friend that put you in embarassing situations? It’s Helena. She feels like Emer’s big sister. Always trying to protect and push her to take risks. She is my modern version of Blaeja in this fic as I’ve read that in some versions it is said to have been known as Heluna. So, be aware that she will date Sigurd. ^^

The Sea Wolves
Moyra: I want to protect her, even though I have made her suffer a lot, but I needed to tell the story as accurate as possible, and I tried not to be too graphic. I don’t know if it makes sense. What I wanted to show is that she was a fighter in her own way. She could have “accepted” Ivar the way he came to her. But she knows she deserves better. Saying he loved her is not that easy because he didn’t know Moyra. He was not making efforts to approach her. I can’t say more without spoiling you all. Hahahahaha. 
Màiri: She is living among the Norsemen for too long that she developed coping strategies to deal with the trauma. I intend to explore her background story in the sequel. As she is experienced, she tries to protect Moyra the way she thinks it’s the best. But it happens that what she is trying to do is to make Moyra complacent with Ivar’s treatment. Something Moyra shouldn’t do.
