i’m watching love between fairy and devil on netflix. i do think kaiba should be cursed to be nice to jounouchi and nurture his heart and feel his emotions and fall in love with him because he’s learned to be a human being again in jounouchi’s presence. i want a thousand fics just like that
I just looked up the synopsis for that one, and oh boy! Patricide? Forced psychic/mystical bond? On top of everything else you described? That is one delicious setup for this ship. <3
Gotta admit reading that did inspire me a bit. I didn't have time to watch the show itself (will maybe give it a try when I have the time to read subtitles), but I took a stab at writing a short drabble inspired by that premise. I'm sorry if I've missed the mark due to my unfamiliarity with the original source material, but I hope it entertains you.
Flower imagery, classical Chinese poetry, and plenty of footnotes ahead.
🌕🌻🌕🌻🌕🌻🌕🌻🌕🌻🌕🌻🌕🌻🌕🌻
The Moon Supreme.
What a pompous title for a pompous blowhard.
With a name like Kaiba, he should've been one of the Dragon King's retinue. But otherwise, the epithet was a fitting one for the ethereal being—cold, distant, and unfeeling. And if the legends bore truth, a cold-blooded killer down to his core.
All that stood between the tall, imperious creature and the destruction of the Three Realms was Katsuya. Plain, old Katsuya, the lowest of the blossom xians [1]. While the others of his kin bore heads of lovely reds and blues and purples, as vibrant as plum, peony, irises in bloom, his hair was colored yellow like wheat.
Hay-head, the other blossom xians had mocked him in their youths.
Nor was he delicate and slim-limbed. His arms were sturdy as tree trunks, his palm as broad as lotus pads. His face, perhaps handsome enough for mortals, didn't carry the same dignified features that greater painters drove themselves into a frenzy to capture.
Hardly beautiful.
A xian in mere name.
His temper flared. He kicked a stray stone into the pond, disrupting the reflection that gazed up from the water.
"You're moping." A deep voice piped next to him.
Katsuya jumped and spun to face the intruder that dared to impinge on his solitary reflection. Speak of the devil. Kaiba loomed, a lanky monolith in his ice blue hanfu, in the shadow of the nearby willow tree. The slender vines and verdant leaves swayed in the warm breeze. The same wind ruffled Kaiba's chestnut locks, pulling back the curtain of long bangs to bear his ocean blue eyes.
The verse rose within Katsuya's mind, unbidden.
"Green, green, the riverside grass,
Dense, dense, the garden willow." [2]
Kaiba arched an elegant brow at the sudden couplet, but he answered with the next lines.
"Dainty is the maiden upstairs,
Shining bright through the window." [3]
Just as quickly, Katsuya's mood soured again. Dainty maidens, his ass.
Kaiba winced. A grimace cracking the flawless marble of his handsome face.
Faintly, Katsuya wondered how the man processed those feelings of inadequacies that didn't belong to him. A superior asshole like Kaiba probably never felt deficient, even before he sacrificed his ability to feel emotions. But he pinned Katsuya as moping before, so he learned enough to put a name to that feeling.
Perhaps their time together wasn't a complete waste. Kaiba could learn, however slowly. But would it be enough to stave off his thirst for vengeance?
He turned his back on Kaiba, bending down to sort through the stones on the rocky banks. Kaiba hung back, safe from the mortal realm's sun under the willow tree's protection. It took a few seconds, but Katsuya finally found a suitable flat stone. He wound his arm back, throwing all his strength into launching the stone across the water's surface. It skipped no less than a dozen times before sinking into the center of the sizable pond.
Pride bloomed in Katsuya's chest before it withered twice as quickly.
That finally spurred Kaiba into action.
Katsuya listened as the man stomped forward, grabbed his elbow, and hauled him to his feet. Soon, he was dragging him away from the riverbed and uphill toward a grassy knoll.
Katsuya fought. But even his strength failed when matched up against the Moon Supreme's stubbornness. "What are you doing? Lemme go!"
Kaiba did not let him go. He seemed intent on bodily dragging Katsuya, if it came down to it.
"Where are you taking me?" he snarled.
This time, Katsuya threw a punch with his free hand. It collided solidly with Kaiba's shoulder, and had he been something other than a cold-blooded bastard, it would've hurt. But as it was, he merely shrugged off the hit.
"To the city. To feed you. Distract your simple mind with simple amusements. Whatever needs to be done to rid you of this wretched malaise," Kaiba spat out past his gritted teeth.
"Leave me alone. Maybe I wanna mope. Maybe I want you to feel as bad as I do!" he shouted.
With teeth bared, Kaiba stopped and spun toward him. He dropped his inhuman grip to Katsuya's wrist and squeezed. Were Katsuya not divine or weaker in constitution, it would've crushed his bones. Instead, his wrists twinged.
"As long as I'm stuck with you—as long as we're entangled like this—I'll do what I must. You don't get a choice," snapped Kaiba.
Katsuya glared back. He supposed if another of his kin were subjected to this, they'd burst into tears. He'd do no such thing, though. "You still don't get it, do you? You can't just force people out of their bad moods. You can't just snap your fingers and make them feel better. Especially when the only reason you're trying is for your own sake!"
Theirs was a wretched arrangement. It may be Kaiba's curse, but Katsuya was being no less punished for it. It wasn't fair.
Everyone expected Katsuya to fail. That hurt more than anything.
Never being enough.
His pain sharpened. Kaiba grunted and dropped his hand like hot coal. Katsuya hugged his wrists close and sank to the ground again.
He stared at the grass, heaving heavy breaths. "You think I wanna feel like this? You think I enjoy this?"
Kaiba said nothing. His feet remained locked in place on the periphery of Katsuya's vision. "Then why won't you let me make this better?"
"Because this isn't something you can fix. You can't fix me, Kaiba. You can't make me a proper blossom xian," he muttered.
The wind picked up again. A lark sang in the bushes. They said nothing to each other in the wake of Katsuya's declaration. The pain dulled to an ache inside Katsuya's chest. A worn and familiar feeling that pressed on his heart.
Grass crunched as Kaiba shifted. To his surprise, Kaiba joined him on the ground. "Who's to say you're not a proper blossom xian? You are one because it's your nature."
His gaze snapped up to Kaiba's face. "Please, you've seen me, you've seen the others. I mean, just look at this—" He tugged a tuft of yellow hair at his temple. "The color's so plain. So common in flowers. They used to call me 'hay-head.' Some of them still do."
"Chrysanthemums are among the Four Gentlemen," argued Kaiba. [4]
Chrysanthemums also came in shades of white, pink, and violets. But as soon as he opened his mouth to argue, his temple stung. He gaped as Kaiba withdrew his hand with several strands of Katsuya's hair clasped between his lithe fingers.
Kaiba looked him straight in the eyes, entirely serious and without a hint of mocking. "You're the only blossom xian I've spent time with. As far as I'm concerned, you're the only proper one."
Something in Katsuya's chest fluttered.
An odd expression flashed across Kaiba's face. He surely felt it, too. Without breaking eye contact, Kaiba transferred the hairs into his palm and made a fist before drawing from his considerable well of qi. Katsuya stiffened, alarmed by the overt use of power. But he was even more shocked by what Kaiba revealed when he unclenched his hand.
A sprig of osmanthus blossoms in the exact shade as Katsuya's hair. [5]
His breath hitched when Kaiba next spoke, low and melodious in his recitations.
"A pale wash of light yellow, gentle in substance and character.
Aloof by nature, yet its fragrance carries afar.
What need is there of light cyan or pale red blossoms?
This one ranks first among all the flowers." [6]
Despite himself, warmth flooded Katsuya's cheeks. He could only dumbly accept the flowers when Kaiba offered them to him. He could feel the frosted bite of Kaiba's qi within them. But it didn't make them any less beautiful.
A slow smirk spread across Kaiba's lips. It was impossible to hide the fact that Katsuya was charmed when he literally felt what Katsuya did. But Katsuya couldn't find it within himself to be annoyed or mad. He twirled the sprig in his fingers.
"Is there really an osmanthus tree on the moon?" he asked instead.
Kaiba's smile turned mysterious. "Perhaps you'll find out one day."

[1] I've never been very hot on the translation of xian to fairy. Not that I have a much better suggestion, but thankfully, the rise of western C-Drama fandom has made it easier to use the original terms.
[2] [3] Translations of lines 1-4 of 《青青河畔草》 from 《古詩十九首》, an anthology of classic Chinese poems with no attributed authors. Lines 1-2 were taken from Pleco’s translation because I really like their alliteration. Lines 3-4 was translated by me since I couldn’t find better ones. ^^;;;
青青河畔草,鬱郁園中柳。
盈盈樓上女,皎皎當窗牖。
[4] The Four Gentlemen are the plants most commonly depicted in traditional ink paintings. They include the plum blossom, the orchid, bamboo, and the chrysanthemum.
[5] Osmanthus flowers are often associated with lunar legends in Chinese tradition. It's said that an osmanthus tree grows on the moon, which is why Katsuya asks Kaiba that at the end of the story. It was just too perfect of an association to pass up! Jounouchi's blond! Kaiba's from the moon! It writes itself!

THE NINTH CAPTAIN’S TALE
@themousefromfantasyland @princesssarisa @softlytowardthesun @the-blue-fairie
(This variant of the Sleeping Beauty type of story, wich gained a cult following among western readers after being inserted into european translations of the the One Thousand and One Nights, is derived from the egyptian tale The Story of the Prince in Love. What makes this story unique is that instead of making only the heroine sleep, both the heroine and her prince have to go trough a death like sleep before reuniting to be married and live happily ever after)
There was once a woman who could not conceive, for all her husband's assaulting. So one day she prayed to Allah, saying, "Give me a daughter, even if she be not proof against the smell of flax!"
In speaking thus of the smell of flax she meant that she would have a daughter, even if the girl were so delicate and sensitive that the anodyne smell of flax would take hold of her throat and kill her.
Soon the woman conceived and easily bore a daughter, as fair as the rising moon, as pale and delicate as moonlight.
When little Sittukhan, for such they called her, grew to be ten years old, the sultan's son passed beneath her window and saw her and loved her, and went back ailing to the palace.
Doctor succeeded doctor fruitlessly beside his bed; but, at last, an old woman, who had been sent by the porter's wife, visited him and said, after close scrutiny, "You are in love, or else you have a friend who loves you."
"I am in love," he answered.
"Tell me her name," she begged, "for I may be a bond between you."
"She is the fair Sittukhan," he replied; and she comforted him, saying, "Refresh your eyes and tranquilize your heart, for I will bring you into her presence."
Then she departed and sought out the girl, who was taking the air before her mother's door. After compliment and greeting, she said, "Allah protect so much beauty, my daughter! Girls like you, and with such lovely fingers, should learn to spin flax; for there is no more delightful sight than a spindle in spindle fingers." Then she went away.
At once the girl went to her mother, saying, "Mother, take me to the mistress."
"What mistress?" asked her mother.
"The flax mistress," answered the girl.
"Do not say such a thing!" cried the woman. "Flax is a danger to you. Its smell is fatal to your breast, a touch of it will kill you."
But her daughter reassured her, saying, "I shall not die," and so wept and insisted, that her mother sent her to the flax mistress.
The white girl stayed there for a day, learning to spin; and her fellow pupils marveled at her beauty and the beauty of her fingers. But, when a morsel of flax entered behind one of her nails, she fell swooning to the floor.
They thought her dead and sent to her father and mother, saying, "Allah prolong your days! Come and take up your daughter, for she is dead."
The man and his wife tore their garments for the loss of their only joy, and went, beaten by the wind of calamity, to bury her. But the old woman met them, and said, "You are rich folk, and it would be shame on you to lay so fair a girl in dust."
"What shall we do then?" they asked, and she replied, "Build her a pavilion in the midst of the waves of the river and couch her there upon a bed, that you may come to visit her."
So they built a pavilion of marble, on columns rising out of the river, and planted a garden about it with green lawns, and set the girl upon an ivory bed, and came there many times to weep.
What happened next?
The old woman went to the king's son, who still lay sick of love, and said to him, "Come with me to see the maiden. She waits you, couched in a pavilion above the waves of the river."
The prince rose up and bade his father's wazir come for a walk with him. The two went forth together and followed the old woman to the pavilion. Then the prince said, "Wait for me outside the door, for I shall not be long."
He entered the pavilion and began to weep by the ivory bed, recalling verses in the praise of so much beauty. He took the girl's hand to kiss it and, as he passed her slim white fingers through his own, noticed the morsel of flax lodged behind one of her nails. He wondered at this and delicately drew it forth.
At once the girl came out of her swoon and sat up upon the ivory bed. She smiled at the prince, and whispered, "Where am I?"
"You are with me," he answered, as he pressed her all against him. He kissed her and lay with her, and they stayed together for forty days and forty nights. Then the prince took leave of his love, saying, "My wazir is waiting outside the door. I will take him back to the palace and then return."
He found the wazir and walked with him across the garden towards the gate, until he was met by white roses growing with jasmine. The sight of these moved him, and he said to his companion, "The roses and the jasmine are white with the pallor of Sittukhan's cheeks! Wait here for three days longer, while I go to look upon the cheeks of Sittukhan."
He entered the pavilion again and stayed three days with Sittukhan, admiring the white roses and the jasmine of her cheeks.
Then he rejoined the wazir and walked with him across the garden towards the gate, until the carob, with its long black fruit, rose up to meet him. He was moved by the sight of it, and said, "The carobs are long and black like the brows of Sittukhan. O wazir, wait here for three more days, while I go to view Sittukhan's brows."
He entered the pavilion again and stayed three days with the girl, admiring her perfect brows, long and black like carobs hanging two by two.
Then he rejoined the wazir and walked with him towards the gate, until a springing fountain with its solitary jet rose up to meet him. He was moved by this sight and said to the wazir, "The jet of the fountain is as Sittukhan's waist. Wait here for thee days longer, while I go to gaze again upon the waist of Sittukhan."
He went up into the pavilion and stayed three days with the girl, admiring her waist, for it was as the slim jet of the fountain.
Then he rejoined the wazir and walked with him across the garden towards the gate. But Sittukhan, when she saw her lover come again a third time, had said to herself, "What brings him back?" So now she followed him down the stairs of the pavilion, and hid behind the door which gave on the garden to see what she might see.
The prince happened to turn and catch sight of her face. He returned toward her, pale and distracted, and said sadly, "Sittukhan, Sittukhan, I shall never see you more, never, never again." Then he departed with the wazir, and his mind was made up that he would not return.
Sittukhan wandered in the garden, weeping, lonely and regretting that she was not dead in very truth. As she walked by the water, she saw something sparkle in the grass and, on raising it, found it to be a talismanic ring. She rubbed the engraved carnelian of it, and the ring spoke, saying, "Behold here am I! What do you wish?"
"O ring of Sulaiman," answered Sittukhan, "I require a palace next to the palace of the prince who used to love me, and a beauty greater than my own."
"Shut your eye and open it!" said the ring; and, when the girl had done so, she found herself in a magnificent palace, next to the palace of the prince. She looked in a mirror which was there and marveled at her beauty.
Then she leaned at the window until her false love should pass by on his horse. When the prince saw her, he did not know her; but he loved her and hastened to his mother, saying, "Have you not some very beautiful thing which you can take as a present to the lady who dwells in the new palace? And can you not beg her, at the same time, to marry me?"
"I have two pieces of royal brocade," answered his mother, "I will take them to her and urge your suit with them." Without losing an hour, the queen visited Sittukhan, and said to her, "My daughter, I pray you to accept this present, and to marry my son."
The girl called her negress and gave her the pieces of brocade, bidding her cut them up for floor cloths; so the queen became angry and returned to her own dwelling.
When the son learned that the woman of his love had destined the cloth of gold for menial service, he begged his mother to take some richer present, and the queen paid a second visit, carrying a necklace of unflawed emeralds.
"Accept this gift, my daughter, and marry my son," she said; and Sittukhan answered, "O lady, your present is accepted." then she called her slave, saying, "Have the pigeons eaten yet?"
"Not yet, mistress," answered the slave.
"Take them these green trifles!" said Sittukhan.
When she heard this outrageous speech, the queen cried, "You have humbled us, my daughter. Now, at least, tell me plainly whether you wish to marry my son or no."
"If you desire me to marry him," answered Sittukhan, "bid him feign death, wrap him in seven winding-sheets, carry him in sad procession through the city, and let your people bury him in the garden of my palace."
"I will tell him your conditions," said the queen.
"What do you think!" cried the mother to her son, when she had returned to him. "If you wish to marry the girl, you must pretend to be dead, you must be wrapped in seven winding-sheets, you must be led in sad procession through the city, and you must be buried in her garden!"
"Is that all, dear mother?" asked the prince in great delight. "Then tear your clothes and weep, and cry, 'My son is dead!'"
The queen rent her garments and cried in a voice shrill with pain, "Calamity and woe! My son is dead!"
All the folk of the palace ran to that place and, seeing the prince stretched upon the floor with the queen weeping above him, washed the body and wrapped it in seven winding-sheets. Then the old men and the readers of the Koran came together and formed a procession, which went throughout the city, carrying the youth covered with precious shawls. Finally they set down their burden in Sittukhan's garden and went their way.
As soon as the last had departed, the girl, who had once died of a morsel of flax, whose cheeks were jasmine and white roses, whose brows were carobs two by two, whose waist was the slim jet of the fountain, went down to the prince and unwrapped the seven winding-sheets from about him, one by one.
Then "Is it you?" she said. "You are ready to go very far for women; you must be fond of them!" The prince bit his finger in confusion, but Sittukhan reassured him, saying, "It does not matter this time!"
And they dwelt together in love delight.

Vladimir Mayakovsky (1930)
At the Top of My voice
First Prelude to the Poem
Source: The bedbug and Selected poetry, translated by Max Hayward and George Reavey. Meridian Books, New York, 1960;
Transcribed: by Mitch Abidor.
My most respected
comrades of posterity!
Rummaging among
these days’
petrified crap,
exploring the twilight of our times,
you,
possibly,
will inquire about me too.
And, possibly, your scholars
will declare,
with their erudition overwhelming
a swarm of problems;
once there lived
a certain champion of boiled water,
and inveterate enemy of raw water.
Professor,
take off your bicycle glasses!
I myself will expound
those times
and myself.
I, a latrine cleaner
and water carrier,
by the revolution
mobilized and drafted,
went off to the front
from the aristocratic gardens
of poetry -
the capricious wench
She planted a delicious garden,
the daughter,
cottage,
pond
and meadow.
Myself a garden I did plant,
myself with water sprinkled it.
some pour their verse from water cans;
others spit water
from their mouth -
the curly Macks,
the clever jacks -
but what the hell’s it all about!
There’s no damming al this up -
beneath the walls they mandoline:
“Tara-tina, tara-tine,
tw-a-n-g...”
It’s no great honor, then,
for my monuments
to rise from such roses
above the public squares,
where consumption coughs,
where whores, hooligans and syphilis
walk.
Agitprop
sticks
in my teeth too,
and I’d rather
compose
romances for you -
more profit in it
and more charm.
But I
subdued
myself,
setting my heel
on the throat
of my own song.
Listen,
comrades of posterity,
to the agitator
the rabble-rouser.
Stifling
the torrents of poetry,
I’ll skip
the volumes of lyrics;
as one alive,
I’ll address the living.
I’ll join you
in the far communist future,
I who am
no Esenin super-hero.
My verse will reach you
across the peaks of ages,
over the heads
of governments and poets.
My verse
will reach you
not as an arrow
in a cupid-lyred chase,
not as worn penny
Reaches a numismatist,
not as the light of dead stars reaches you.
My verse
by labor
will break the mountain chain of years,
and will present itself
ponderous,
crude,
tangible,
as an aqueduct,
by slaves of Rome
constructed,
enters into our days.
When in mounds of books,
where verse lies buried,
you discover by chance the iron filings of lines,
touch them
with respect,
as you would
some antique
yet awesome weapon.
It’s no habit of mine
to caress
the ear
with words;
a maiden’s ear
curly-ringed
will not crimson
when flicked by smut.
In parade deploying
the armies of my pages,
I shall inspect
the regiments in line.
Heavy as lead,
my verses at attention stand,
ready for death
and for immortal fame.
The poems are rigid,
pressing muzzle
to muzzle their gaping
pointed titles.
The favorite
of all the armed forces
the cavalry of witticisms
ready
to launch a wild hallooing charge,
reins its chargers still,
raising
the pointed lances of the rhymes.
and all
these troops armed to the teeth,
which have flashed by
victoriously for twenty years,
all these,
to their very last page,
I present to you,
the planet’s proletarian.
The enemy
of the massed working class
is my enemy too
inveterate and of long standing.
Years of trial
and days of hunger
ordered us
to march
under the red flag.
We opened
each volume
of Marx
as we would open
the shutters
in our own house;
but we did not have to read
to make up our minds
which side to join,
which side to fight on.
Our dialectics
were not learned
from Hegel.
In the roar of battle
it erupted into verse,
when,
under fire,
the bourgeois decamped
as once we ourselves
had fled
from them.
Let fame
trudge
after genius
like an inconsolable widow
to a funeral march -
die then, my verse,
die like a common soldier,
like our men
who nameless died attacking!
I don’t care a spit
for tons of bronze;
I don’t care a spit
for slimy marble.
We’re men of kind,
we’ll come to terms about our fame;
let our
common monument be
socialism
built
in battle.
Men of posterity
examine the flotsam of dictionaries:
out of Lethe
will bob up
the debris of such words
as “prostitution,”
“tuberculosis,”
“blockade.”
For you,
who are now
healthy and agile,
the poet
with the rough tongue
of his posters,
has licked away consumptives’ spittle.
With the tail of my years behind me,
I begin to resemble
those monsters,
excavated dinosaurs.
Comrade life,
let us
march faster,
march
faster through what’s left
of the five-year plan.
My verse
has brought me
no rubles to spare:
no craftsmen have made
mahogany chairs for my house.
In all conscience,
I need nothing
except
a freshly laundered shirt.
When I appear
before the CCC
of the coming
bright years,
by way of my Bolshevik party card,
I’ll raise
above the heads
of a gang of self-seeking
poets and rogues,
all the hundred volumes
of my
communist-committed books.

🧚🎉Fairy Festivals🎉🧚
🎉 Fairy festivals take place at crossover points in the seasons. Equinoxes and solstices are determined by the position of the Sun, but the other four festivals are celebrated when the time feels right, so the dates given below are approximate.
🎉 There are other festivals too,such as Christmas Eve,Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day. Any human festival that touches on old traditions,from Ramadan to a Japanese Flower Festival, is a fairy feast. If you celebrate these festivals and make the effort to tune into what concerns the fairies, you will draw closer to their world. If you celebrate a special meal, remember to leave a little outside afterward for the fairies
1. 🌷 Imbolic - 🌷
February 2 in the Northern Hemisphere/July 31 in the Southern Hemisphere
Imbolc means “in the belly,” and this is the time when life stirs in the belly of the earth. Frost sparkles and the pale light lingers each evening,bringing the message that spring is on the horizon. Imbolc is the delicate crossover point from winter’s depths into the New Year. It is a feast of lightness and brightness,but also a time of cleansing,to make way for the new. The Hag, who is Dark Goddess or Dark Fairy, gives way now to the Maiden, who is young and radiant.
Fairies love neatness and good housekeeping,so it is a good idea to have a late-winter sort-out,in preparation for fresh activity. While the fairies are busy coaxing snowdrops and crocuses out of the winter-hard earth,do something creative of your own,such as knitting,painting,or writing poetry. Ask the fairies to lend you a little of their magic by leaving them an offering,such as a piece of wool or a verse written just for them.
This feast is also called candlemas,sacred to St.Bridget,who was the successor to the pagan goddess Bride (pronounced “Breed”). Bride was the keeper of the sacred flame,which represents eternal life. She is the patroness of poetry,smithcraft,child birth, and healing, and is a very powerful fairy indeed. Invite her into your home by lighting as many candles as you like, in your windows and around your house. Ask her to bless your projects for the coming year,and pledge a special act of caring for the natural world in return,to seal your pact as the year waxes.
2. 🌼 Spring Equinox- 🌼
March 21 in the Northern Hemisphere/September 21 in the Southern Hemisphere
The fairies are very busy at the Spring Equinox,looking after all the flowers that are newly blooming.Scandinavian fairies become active now: the Russian cellar fairy,The Domoviyr,casts off its skin and grows a lighter one for summer; and the Russian Rusalki,or river fairies are glimpsed by lakes swollen with melted snow.
A tree planting project is a very fairy-friendly activity at this time. A seasonal blitz on the garden is also called for. While you are hard at work, digging and pulling away at dead winter twigs, it is easy to go into a kind of trance. This, coupled with the spell of the natural world around you,can create the perfect state of mind to catch a glimpse of fairies.You can be sure they are near you,helping you with their energies.Plant some seeds of your choice and, as you put them in the earth, close your eyes and make a special request for fairy help. Visualize the fairies tending your seeds,giving them their love and care. Ask out loud for the fairies to help you,and sing or hum and you plant. Touch the soft soil with your bare hands and make real contact with the earth.
Place water in a pottery or glass jug (plastic or metal is best avoided) and leave it out in the noon sunshine. Ask the fairies to bless it. Imagine them dancing around it and coming up to touch it with their glimmering fingers. Use the water to give your houseplants a special spring blessing.
The Green Man is a powerful nature spirit that has been sensed by many people. He is represented in numerous churches as the Foliate Mask (a face made up of leaves),and one theory about his presence is that the masons who fabricated him had hidden sympathies with the old nature- worship. He is making his appearance now on some new park benches and monuments. However, you can make contact with the real Green Man out alone walking through the woodland. Ancient and wise,he is watching you. Catch a glimpse of him behind tree trunks or in the lacework of budding branches. Hear his footfalls behind you as you walk. He is the very breath of Nature, and his strength is bursting forth in springtime.
3. 💐 Beltane - 💐
April 30 in the Northern Hemisphere/October 31 in the Southern Hemisphere
Of all the festivals, Beltane is the most flagrantly joyful and sensuous as Nature is bursting forth with beauty and excitement. This was the Celtic beginning of summer, and also marked an important transition for the people of Fairy, for it was the time when the Milesian Celts landed on the shores of south-west Ireland. With this, the last of the magical peoples,the Tuatha de Danann, receded from the the world of humans into the Hollow Hills and became the people of the Sidhe.
However, they and the other fairy folk have not gone very far. You will find them dancing in a bluebell wood or skipping in the sunshine,sheltered by a greening hedge. Beltane is the time when good fairies reign supreme and bad fairies retreat. Fairies are very active now and may try to steal butter,or some of the ritual fire that used to be ignited on hilltops and is still lit by modern pagans.
This is the maypole season, but instead you can always dance around a friendly tree. Link hands with friends, and you may find yourselves spontaneously re-creating the kind of things people used to to do when seeing fairies was commonplace:lingering,walking,and talking, in the open air, away from television,computers,and other modern distractions.
There are many tales of beautiful fairies marrying mortals. Such tales usually end in tragedy, for fairy and human can never truly be joined. Better to borrow some of the fairy enchantment by performing a little magic of your own! Rise early on May Day and wash your face in the dew or simply walk in it. As the rhyme says: “The fairy maid who, the first of May Goes to the fields at break of day, And walk in dew from the hawthorn tree, Will ever handsome be.”
Welsh legend tells how the hero Pwll saw the Lady Rhiannon riding past him at Beltane and, after pursuing her, he eventually won her. Rhiannon is one aspect of the Fairy Queen,riding on her white horse between the worlds. As you sit quietly outside,on a bank in the late spring dusk,listen for the sounds of her horse’s hooves,and open your eyes to the shimmer of her sea-blue cloak. When Rhiannon touches your heart, she will fill it with love and inspiration.
4. 🌹 Midsummer - 🌹
June 22 in the Northern Hemisphere/December 22 in the Southern Hemisphere
This is one of the most magical times of the year, when fairies are very active and visible, playing pranks and even, it is said, stealing away the young and beautiful to join them in the Hollow Hills. The sun is now at the height of its strength and this is an important crossover point,such as the fairies love. For at the Midsummer Solstice the sun stands still, before beginning to recede as we move into the waning half of the year.
Flowers are colorful and luxuriant, and one radiant day seems to merge into another, as late dusk meets early dawn. At no time is the natural world more inviting. Take part in it by going on quests -long walks to sacred spots,evening camping out with the minimum of equipment,to draw close to the mystery that is all around, and to the Fair Folk in particular.
The rose is possibly the most sensuous bloom of all, and at midsummer it is often at its most gorgeous. Roses in the garden are especially likely to attract fairies. Distil water from rose petals and add it to your bath, asking the fairies to lend you some of their enchantment and to help you attract love. Brew tea from rosebuds and drink it,to increase your psychic powers.Plant a rose bush with a friend, to affirm the loving bound between you and invite the fairies into your life.
St.John’s wort is a herb known to break any negative fairy enchantment and drive away depression. Pluck some on Midsummer’s Day and carry it, to keep cheerful.
Look out for water nymphs by streams, or for undines for water elementals on the seashore- or for even the Lady of the Lake herself,rising from the luminous depths.In olden times, these beings were said to have no souls. It is closer to the truth to say that they do not have human morals. Conventions often conceal or feelings, but the beauty of the water fairies opens us to our unconscious tides; see them and let yourself be transformed.
5. 🌾Lammas- 🌾
July 31 in the Northern Hemisphere/February 2 in the Southern Hemisphere
Lammas is “Loaf Mass,” a christian version of a much older festival known as Lughnasadh, or the “Feast of Lugh.” Lugh was a Celtic god,lord of the Tuatha de Danann, and his name means “bright one.” Lughnasadh is a major fairy festival, and many fairies become active during this period,such as the Russian Polevik, who kicks sleepy harvesters awake. It is also a time when fairies move about in preparation for winter,and processions of them may be seen as a line of twinkling lights moving between the hills in the countryside.
At Lammas, the fields are golden with corn and splashed with red poppies. It is hazy,lazy time of holidays and abundance,but there is an underlying theme of death,for the Corn Spirit must be sacrificed in order to reap the harvest. If you walk out into a field of ripe wheat, you may sense the anger of the nature spirits as what is to be taken from the earth,even thought that is a part of the natural cycle of life.Gather up some ears of wheat and tie them into a bunch with red thread,to make a charm for the coming winter to hang over your hearth. At the same time,pledge an act of caring for the earth,such as clearing a derelict site in your neighborhood or garden, or planting and tending a herb, as payment for what you-and all of us- take from it.
At home, bake your own bread, using the rising of the dough as a spell to ensure that everything prospers in your life. While you are kneading the bread dough, say to yourself “As this dough swells, so may my fortunes increase.” Ask for your own personal Brownie, or house fairy, to come and help your bread rise- and remember to leave some breadcrumbs outside afterward,for the fairies.
Some say that Lugh is lord of the waning year, and his dance- through the waving,whispering corn- is a dance of death. If so, it is a reminder that all things come in cycles,and that everything is united in love and beauty. Stand at the edge of a sun-kissed wheat field and see the shimmer and sway that betrays the presence of Lugh. Take a few moments to feel respect for the earth in your heart, and understand the meaning of the Wheel of Life.
6. 🍁 Autumn Equinox (Mabon) - 🍁
September 21 in the Northern Hemisphere/March 21 in the Southern Hemisphere
At the Autumn Equinox, Nature stands poised between light and dark,but darkness is gaining. The veil between this world and the Otherworld is at its thinnest, and all manner of spirit visitations are more frequent now.
The hedgerows are beaded with berries,and mist lingers in the hollows. Sometimes the wind whistles in from nowhere and tosses baring branches. On other says, the mellow sun caresses the fields with slanting fingers. It is a time for reflection, but also for industry. In days gone by, preserves would be made for winter store and the help of the Good Folk would be sought by country people.
Absorb the atmosphere of the season by going blackberrying. In Celtic countries, there may be a taboo on eating blackberries, because these belong especially to fairies. However, as long as you gather them with respect and do not denude the bramble bushes, they will hardly object. Better still,leave out some of your homemade blackberry pie or wine for them,so that they will bless you. When this month ends, leave the blackberries alone and move on. Also look out for a bramble bush that forms an arch-so much the better if it faces east/west, for that mirrors the passage of the sun. Crawl through this three times on a sunny day to be healed of physical ills, especially rheumatism and skin troubles.
At this mysterious time, pay honor to Queen Mab. Her special gift is to bring dreams and visions to birth within us. She is really one of many manifestations of the Goddess, in her autumnal guise of wise-woman and Lady of Magic, and she is linked with ancient ideas of sovereignty- for the king drew his power from the land, and Mab presided.
Preferably at the Full Moon closest to the equinox,place good-quality wine in a stemmed glass or chalice,and take it into the garden or a secluded place.Raise the glass to the Moon,say, “Mab, I honor you”and pour some of the wine onto the earth. Drink a little and say, “Mab, I drink with you,” Then return home,light a bright-green candle beside your bed,gaze at the flame and say, “Mab,give me wisdom,” Place some jasmine or rose oil on your pillow,extinguish the candle-and drift into Fairyland. This is a little ritual that you can repeat during any Full Moon if you wish.
7. 🎃 Samhain - 🎃
October 31 in the Northern Hemisphere/April 30 in the Southern Hemisphere
Samhain means “summer’s end” and is pronounced “sa-wen.” This ancient Celtic festival at the official start of the winter was later Christianized as Halloween- a time when the dead were remembered. There was always a sinister aspect to Samhain,because certain sacrifices had to be made in order to survive the coming cold weather. Animals had to be slaughtered,and some say that human sacrifice took place to propitiate the spirits. Sacrifice,however, is a corruption of nature worship,for life is hard enough as it is and all we have to do is show respect.
Barrow mounds,shrouded in mist,are particularly eerie places at Samhain. Draw close,if you dare,and sit quietly.Do you hear the strange,far-off noise of fairy music,or the sound of knocking? Maybe the mound will open for you and unearthly light will stream over the barren fields.After Samhain,the earth is given over to the powers of darkness and decay.No crops or berries may be harvested after this time,because the Phooka, a malevolent Irish Fairy,blights them. The true meaning here,of course,is that death and decay have a place in the natural order,requiring due honor and respect lest they get out of hand.
Traditionally, this is the start of the story telling season. While the wind whistles around the eaves or the mist comes down outside,gather family or friends around your hearth- preferably with a real fire burning in it. If you do not have an open hearth,substitute a collection of large,burning candles. Sit round and speak of times gone by and people who have passed over to the other side.Ask the Beloved Dead to be present, if you wish(but note that this is not a seance,and the Beloved Dead are invited,not summoned). Laugh,share funny stories,feast,and drink.
Cerridwen is the Underworld Goddess and the Fairy Hag most associated with this time. In her magic cauldron,she stirs a brew that confers inspiration and transformation. Simmer up a hearty soup of root vegetables or pumpkin, to share with friends,then light a black candle and ask Cerridwen to guide you through the darkness into the light. You will be both safe and wise.
8. ❄️ Yule - ❄️
December 22 in the Northern Hemisphere/June 22 in the Southern Hemisphere
Yule is the Midwinter Solstice, when the sun again appears to stand still,as it did at midsummer,but the season is poised for the return of light. Celebrations of Christ’s birth were moved to coincide with the much more ancient solstice.
As you deck your Christmas tree,remember that the evergreen is a powerful symbol of the enduring life in Nature. Of course,is has a fairy on top of it,confirming that it is a festival of the Fair Folk,who also rejoice in the sun’s rebirth. Decorating your tree is an important magical act,for the decorations are fairy charms. Each member of the family should hang at least one special charm of their own,to enable a wish to come true.
Jack Frost is an active fairy in the cold weather,painting windows with intricate lacework. In Russia he is called Father Frost,the soul of winter,covering the trees in ice. Do not shrink from the frost fairy-go out and wonder at his works and he will reward you with hope and joy,just as in Russia Father Frost brings presents for the children on New Year’s Day.
By far the best-known and most powerful fairy at Yule is Father Christmas himself. Today we know him by his robes of red and white, but in the past he also wore green and other colors. As we have seen,red is the color both of life and death, and many fairies wear red caps. The hearty red of Father Christmas is a sign that he is an Otherworld being-very much alive,but not of this earth. He is recognized all over the world, as Kris Kringle in Germany and Pere Noel in France. In Brazil he is Papa Noel,and in China Dun Che Loa. He is the essence of Yuletide mystery,joy and renewal,and like many traditional fairies, he comes in and out via the hearth.
When all is quiet on Christmas Eve, get ready to welcome Father Christmas- light a candle and look at the stars. Pledge a gift for a friend and one for the world, and ask for a special gift to answer your heart’s desire. Write your wish on a piece of paper and “post” it up the chimney if you have an open fire. If not, burn it in the candle flame. Can you hear those sleigh bells?

Summary: Kim Taehyung left your town right after high school a boyish rake, and returned a pious man. Now you’re together, and the whispered words between you both are only heard by the silent, empty church.
A very special thanks to Willow who edited this and helped make it beautiful <3
Tagging: @wwilloww @hesperantha @jin-fizz
You shouldn’t be here.
Here, in the darkened church, the only lights are the flickering of half a dozen candles, here at the front, by the altar, by the crucifix and statues that have always stood here. Here where nothing has changed, since the beginning of time. You feel small, even in the bobbing lights you can see the stained glass, holy mother gazing down at you, clutching her son. Is she passing judgement? You aren’t sure, her expression is the same serenity as always.
Although at this moment you are anything but serene.
“I compare you, my love, to a mare among Pharaoh’s chariots.” His smooth voice, so deep - too deep, like the Nile river itself. “Your cheeks are comely with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels. We will make you ornaments of gold, studded with silver.” He’s standing in front of you, fingertips brushing your cheeks, gentle but firm as he cups your chin, gaze hot on your own. The verse speaks of love, and it's love in your heart. Forbidden and wildly untamed in your chest.
No, you shouldn’t be here at all. You should be at home, kneeling at your bed and saying your prayers there. You shouldn’t have accepted his invitation to compline. You definitely shouldn’t have agreed so eagerly when he suggested you read from the Song of Solomon.
You shouldn’t have. You try to convince yourself, like you aren’t kneeling before him, hands clasped, eyes gazing upward at the giant crucifix. Like you aren’t an active participant in whatever is to come. You try and focus. Eyes trailing up - up -
Up - to Taehyung’s face, the only passion play you could bare to watch.
“W-While the king was on his couch, my nard gave forth its fragrance.” Your own voice stumbles, at first, tripped up by the echoing drum of your racing heart. “My beloved is to me a bag of myrrh that lies between my breasts - “ A catch of breath - it's yours, it's yours because of those hands, his - warm and rough - cupping your breasts as you read. He’s eye level now, and you swear there is nothing more beautiful than the feeling of his hands on you. Your beloved. Still, you forge forward through the verses. “My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms in the vineyards of En-gedi.”
“Ah, you are beautiful, my love;” He briefly strokes his thumb across your cheek, and the feeling makes you shiver. His eyes are dark in the candlelight, and molten as you meet their gaze. “Ah, you are beautiful; your eyes are doves.” He recites the words, a poem he knows by heart, fingers trailing under your shirt. “Ah, you are beautiful, my beloved, truly lovely.” Taehyung is slow, nimble fingers taking his time with the buttons. He takes his time, as though he is cherishing the moment, like you are. A comfortable silence, until It's gone, fallen to the floor. Will you be bare here, too, then? A sinner bares their soul in confessional...and you would bare your body here, on the floor in this house of God.
“I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valley.” Your voice ceases to waver, strength hidden in your bones rising up. “As a lily among brambles, so is my love among maidens.” You sigh, and sigh again as his nose brushes your throat, as his hands trace your skin.
It feels like he is worshipping you, that you are the sacred body here, the red candle flickering in the corner. “As an apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.”
“Taste me.” His words are sweet, poison laced sugar as fingertips press against your lips, part for him, Moses and the red sea, and you taste. Taste the salt of his skin and crave him, crave more. More of his gentle smile, eyes alight as he sees you. More of the firmness of his hands, often on your back as he guided you down the hallways of this ancient, holy place. More of his laugh, still boyish and beautiful after all this time. More of every single piece of him.
“He brought me to the banqueting house, and his intention toward me was love. Sustain me with raisins, refresh me with apples; for I am faint with love.” You...you feel faint before you even say the words. The longing, the love - it makes you tremble. How can you be absolved from this? Why don’t you want to?
If this is sin - this beautiful, divine feeling - then what is the point of it all? He is David and you are a harp, ready to play his tune. “O that his left hand was under my head, and that his right hand embraced me!” Your voice echoes, his hand cupping your cheek, the other sliding down to wrap around your waist.
He hasn’t even kissed you yet. This feeling is your own sin, eyes eager to devour the words on the page, to decipher his next move. Overcome, it’s lust licking the sweet tendrils of flame in your belly. Hellfire?
“Your lips distill nectar, my bride; honey and milk are under your tongue.” He tilts your head back, mouth so utterly close to yours. But he doesn’t move any closer, even as you feel the warmth of his breath on your face, the press of his body against yours.
Is he...is he toying with you? And yet, the thought doesn’t match the desperation of his gaze. The way his hands tremble when they touch you. “The scent of your garments is like the scent of Lebanon. A garden locked is my sister, my bride, a garden locked, a fountain sealed.” The words are choked and you understand.
You are locked to him, forbidden, closed. If you want him...you must be the one to open the gate. He won’t go forward without it, without knowing that it isn’t just him that wants this - this beautiful, terrifying thing. You want it, want him, want every drop of his love that he’ll offer you.
“A garden.” You break the silence, the holy book in your hands clattering to the ground. “Solomon built the temple. He was a priest and a king, a man. Like you.” The implication is clear. Solomon was no celibate. And this time it’s you, gripping his face: “this is not a sin to absolve me of father.” It’s your lips on his. Desperate and wanting, you kiss him like a woman starved, and you are starved...starved for him, this culmination of all of your wants, here in front of you.
He could tread in your garden as he liked. So long as you could taste the nectar of his lips - You would find the milk and honey of his body. Forbidden fruit - let his juices soak you to your core.
“Not a sin?” Taehyung’s voice, deep in your ear, hoarse. “Fucking a priest in your church isn’t a sin?” His voice is deep, and there is an edge there, a hoarseness that would match your own. He sounds so - so wanting, it almost shocks you. Like his lips, soft and warm against your neck, fingers buried in your hair, tugging at the strands.
“Not one for the priest to absolve me of.” You reach up, grasping at his collar. “How can I be forgiven if I am not sorry?” What has come over you? The words are bold, foreign on your lips - but you mean them, pulling him back to kiss him again.
He’s so warm, and his grip only tightens at your words. You - you want to succumb to those desires, to the sin in your heart that was for him and him alone.
“Guilt. Shame.” The man muses. “Shame, our punishment for trusting the snake. And yet - Solomon called his lover a garden, beautiful….decadent. Perhaps the garden of eden was like his lover - “
“The garden hid the original sin.” Sin, his hands leaving yours to grasp at his belt - the snap of it in the empty air. Sin, him pulling you forward, onto your feet, bruising lips, bruising fingertips on your thighs, as he drug you forward, pressing you against the altar, the sacredest of spaces. “Forbidden knowledge, is - is knowing you forbidden?” He’s the one on the ground now, on his knees in front of you. “Is it - father?”
“Taehyung.” He grabs at his clerical collar, the white tossed to the ground as he parts your legs. “I am touching you as a man, not as a priest.”
“Maybe you should touch me as a priest.” You can feel him tense. “Consecrate my body, drink of me until we are both holy.”
“Sacrilege.” He speaks, pulling down your skirt. “And in the house of God no less.”
“If you will fuck me on the altar, why shouldn’t you -“
“It’s the Song of Solomon.” He interrupts you, nimble fingers pulling at sheer fabric, the only barrier between you and him. “Or have you forgotten?”
“You - you want to finish the recitation?” He nods, barely perceptible, the sound of his voice as he tugs your sheer underwear down your legs, slowly - so slowly, taking time like he had done with your shirt.
“Your channel is an orchard of pomegranates with all choicest fruits, henna with nard, nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon,” Your underwear hangs around tense ankles now, gaze trained on him. “with all trees of frankincense, myrrh and aloes, with all chief spices– a garden fountain, a well of living water, and flowing streams from Lebanon.” He sounds amused, even as he touches you, your sacred space. “A channel, a fountain, ripe fruit for the picking, d’you know of the love Solomon is speaking?”
“Carnal…” that answer was easy. “Desire - carnal love.”
“More than that, he speaks of this.” A finger, swirling against you, sliding into that part of you you were told not to touch...not that you followed that rule.
Perhaps that was a sin you could confess to. “Of this act, pleasuring you, and who am I not to follow the words of that famous king...and worship at your font - your well, your garden, till your juices drip down my chin like pomegranate juice.
“Let my beloved come to his garden, and eat its choicest fruits…” You speak, remembering the line even without the bible in your hands. “Please Taehyung…” Your hands grip the altar table, bunching the embroidered cloth under your grip.
He’s worshipping you, you’re sure of it, with tongue and teeth. It's messy, and he’s not shy, those lips that could stir a congregation with their sweetness, his golden tongue - now they were on you, fingers still in you to the hilt.
It is not quiet, either. Your gasps barely muffled, the wet, lurid sounds he was drawing from your body echoing in the room.
How often had you sat in those pews in front of you, how often had you knelt, gazing up at this very altar, bated breath as the transfiguration took place, over and over.
Now you are transfigured - you will never be the same after tonight, even if you want to be. But there can be no regrets as he murmurs your name against your thighs. As he makes you tremble and gasp, tensing under his touch, falling apart like the walls of Jericho, turning to dust in the wake of his fervent, ardent desire.
“How graceful are your feet in sandals, O queenly maiden! Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of a master hand.” Slick fingers grip at your thighs, ruddied cheeks meeting your gaze as you pass your tongue over your lips. His mouth - it's wet, and that makes you blush...though you aren’t sure why at this point.
This is adultery, you muse, and of the worst kind. Taehyung is a priest, he’s married to the Church, and yet...and yet it's not communion wine smeared across his lips...no...he’s ripe for kissing with your essence glossed against his skin.
“Your navel is a rounded bowl that never lacks mixed wine. Your belly is a heap of wheat, encircled with lilies.” He’s mouthing across the skin of your stomach, up and up, till he’s standing again, hands at your breasts, gentle kisses more heated the closer he gets to your mouth.
“T-Taehyung.” Your soft murmur of his name breaks his recitations, but only for a moment, his gaze altogether too hungry to be kept occupied for long. “Please - “ Please what? Please what to this beautiful man, who has already given you so much.
Please more - please don’t stop - please love me.
“Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle. Your neck is like an ivory tower.” Your neck falls victim to this trap all too easily, tilting to the side as his pretty lips press against it, as teeth mark your skin. It’s painful in a way that pleases you, your body still a shudder of pleasure and desire. “Your eyes are pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim. Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon, overlooking Damascus….” Why is his gaze so sweet? The words barely process as his fingertips ghost over your face, as his lips brush your forehead.
“Your head crowns you like Carmel….How fair and pleasant you are, O loved one, delectable maiden, You are stately as a palm tree...and your kisses like the best wine that goes down smoothly, gliding over lips and teeth.” He’s skipping verses, you realize, and he’s asking you for something, something you give. Kisses, like wine, your mouth against his, soft and gentle, and then more.
This time it is you, it is you touching him, hands unbuttoning his pants, ghosting over the heaviness there.
“I am my beloved’s, and his desire is for me…” You hear his half gasp as you cup him, and you wonder how long it's been since he’s touched a woman. Are you the first one since he left for seminary? Since he returned back to your little town, a man fully grown, to find that he wasn’t the only one who had changed.
“I-It is.” The man’s words, they’re darling, even as he’s grasping your hands, pulling them away from him, from his cock - out and hard, beautiful too - even as he’s letting you tangle your hands in his hair, biting at his lower lip. “It's for you.” There is no guile in his tone, nothing in his eyes but honest desire. “For you - I’ll break my vows, over and over.”
“Come, my beloved…” Your words are choked with emotion, and then cut off completely, because it's him - hot, inside of you. You wonder if he’s surprised that you don’t come to him a fresh and blushing bride, a virgin. But you both have changed, you remind yourself.
And those changes had brought you here.
“I’ll be the one to say that.” He grips at your thighs, his strokes as sure and steady as him. Taehyung was the earth beneath your feet, and - and he was the wind in your hair, the air in your lungs, his touches now - heaven sent.
You know it now: Taehyung is an angel in disguise. Perhaps he’d strike you down when it was all done, for your sins. And you’d gladly go, if it meant this was the last feeling you had, you could die in his arms and spend the rest of your days in hellfire, or in the cold quiet of purgatory - wandering as a wraith, if it meant that he would keep looking at you this way.
“S-say what?” You stammer, pulling him closer, so close to you, barely caring that he was fully clothed, and you were stark and nude. It seems fitting. Of course you should bare yourself to your priest, haven’t you done it to him countless times before in the confessional booth? Baring your soul and sins out for him to see.
To forgive.
Your thoughts are idle, and he is murmuring sweetness into your ear, golden tongue - the snake in the garden. No, Taehyung is no snake dripping poison on your tongue. Taehyung is just as much lost soul as you are. You feel so hot under his touch, sensitive, full - on the precipice of it all.
“Come, my beloved.” His voice is almost as amused as it is desperate. “Come…” And you were falling, falling against him, letting him hold you as you trembled. “Come and there I will give you my love.” Love, in spurts and a muffled moan, his body staggering against you, pressing you further into the altar table.
“Love…” You murmur, breath returning to normal as he pulls away from you. “The love of God to man, or the love of Solomon to his queen?”
“Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave.” Taehyung answers, ever cryptic. His touch is still warm as he helps you put your clothes back on, touch slow, gentle as he re-buttons your shirt, as he uses your underwear to clean the drips of arousal from the floor. “We are called to love the church as God loves us. But i’m called to love you...like Solomon loved his woman.” It’s a peck to your forehead, you watch him pocket the sheer material, and this is as much of a confession as you expect, surprised when he pulls you in for a gentle kiss, fingers entwining with your own.“Whatever it means, I won’t deny it, even in death, it will be your name on my lips.”

S/Os in the Happy AU verse
So this is gonna be officially NON-canon to my AU but I just wanted to put my opinions on possible S/Os. I want everyone to be able to have their own ideas for this verse as it is an Everyone is happy (including the readers) AU
no spoilers this time but I don't want a long post clogging the tags
Sal
Female OC (nameless)
She's a research assistant assigned to monitor his squad
They start off as a shy friendship
Sal’s squad mates try to hype him up to ask her out
Her friends are scared of him and tell her to stay away (she refuses to listen as he is a nice person to her)
The Mermen eventually trick them into a small casual date
This leads to future dates and a relationship
She is always complimenting him and trying to bring up his confidence
He does the same for her
He likes to bring her little gifts from his missions
She keeps all his gifts in a lockbox so no-one steals or breaks them
Male OC (nameless)
One of his squad mates (not one of the originals)
They spend a lot of time together
He looks up to Sal as soldier
They never get that brotherly bond like the others (its something more)
The other members notice their tiptoeing around each other and convince them to just date and get it over with
once a couple, they simultaneously want to always be on missions together and never want to be on the same mission
Donna
So Donna is complicated as I kinda see her as being 2 possible ages (early 20s/ early 30s) so I ship her with people depending on the age
Alcina
For 30s Donna
once Donna moves into the castle and they start spending time together, they slowly develop feelings for each other
Alcina refuses to accept her feelings at first because she is worried about what the girls will think
They try to be subtle around each other and the girls (they fail miserably)
The girls eventually get annoyed with the longing and drop hints to their mom that they are fine with them being together
Alcina is the one to ask Donna out on a date, they go on a picnic and have a lovely time
The girls never really call Donna mom they stick with Aunt Donna (but occasionally they will if they have nightmares or get caught in the cold)
Donna is ok with the girls seeing her as just an aunt and takes a backseat with parenting as she doesn't want to intrude in their family dynamic
Female OC (Angela)
For 30s or 20s Donna
She is a hunter sent to the village to be a double agent to find the weaknesses for the “monsters”
She spends time befriending Donna
Alcina is indifferent to her
The girls and Angie are very suspicious of her
She starts to have a change of heart when bonding with Donna and seeing how the others interact with each other and the Winters family
She starts feeding the other hunters bad info and working to try and get them to leave without completing the hunt
During a meeting with the hunters, she finds a strange fly and recognizes it as one of the Girls
Panic ensues and the other hunters try and kill it, she stops them but this leads to the Fam finding out about her betrayal from Cassandra (who was the spy)
Donna doesn't want to believe it but they use her hallucinations to get the truth
they find out she is on their side but still hurt
After a long period of distrust they find their way back to each other and live happily ever after
The Girls and Alcina take longer to trust but try for Donna
Bela
For 20s Donna
Develop feelings for each other through mutual hobbies (reading and gardening)
Donna talks about her feelings and worries with Alcina during their Tea times
Alcina comforts her and assures her she would make a wonderful partner for Bela and she would love her as a daughter in law
Donna has a plan to show Bela her feelings using the language of flowers
It takes Bela a few days to realize the meaning of them and plans a date for them in a nearby town (a modern one not a village)
They go to a nice bookstore/coffee shop and have a slow pleasant date
most of their interactions remain the same but now with more kisses
Alcina
Female OC (Katherine/ Katie)
Came to the castle from the Stronghold before the Rose incident
was meant to be experimented on but Alcina took a liking to her and made her a personal maid for herself and the girls (closer to 30)
she was unique as she was considered older for a maiden
they all grew close through her time at the castle
she was given more personal duties to do with the winery
she helps persuade Alcina to work with Ethan
after the “incident” , Al begins to realize her feelings and starts to put on her Lady D persona more
Katie tells her she prefers the authentic Alcina
after a few years of marriage they have a 4th daughter they name Elena
Mia
They bond over parenting rambunctious girls
find out they have a lot more in common
honestly head empty, go check out @highlifeboat for more fantastic Mia/ Alcina content
Heisenberg
I don’t really see Heis as the type to settle down and have a partner, he’s just a “do what/who I want when I want“ type of guy to me

All designs from Mirabilia Designs by Nora Corbett:
#1: Damask Roses (OOP)
A Grecian beauty clasps a bouquet of pink roses to her heart, her gold-banded teal gown draped in serene folds about her as she dreams of days last spent with her one true love in this very topiary garden. There are no beads on this design-- the textural interplay of carved stone, shimmering silk and soft rose petals is embellishment enough.
Stitch Count: 237 x 296, 15 3/4″ x 19 1/2″ on 32ct (2 over 2)
#2: The Fairy Moon (OOP)
Mesmerized by a beaded moon, a fairy floats on a carpet of filmy clouds, ethereal in a white, off-the-shoulder gown with mauve cape and strands of lustrous pearls woven throughout her chestnut hair. Her gauzy, iridescent wings are momentarily at rest as a dozen swirling, misty moons light her way throughout the night.
Stitch count: 259 x 274, 18 1/4″ x 19 1/4″ on 28ct (2 over 2)
#3: The Rose of Sharon— July 14, 1993 (OOP)
Pause for a moment with this golden-gowned maiden and relish the beauty of a shaded, fragrant bower of trailing pink roses and jaunty hollyhocks. Her elegantly trailing gown and the intricate artistry of the romantic stone garden arch make this one of our best-loved designs.
Stitch count: , 19″ x 12″ on
#4: Garden Verses (OOP)
Gazing into her garden and daydreaming of her lover's return, this high-born beauty sits robed in rich velvets and a gown of pure spun gold. Time and again she's tried to capture on paper what she feels in her heart. Perhaps she'll find the perfect words when he is once again by her side.
#5: Sleeping Beauty (OOP)
"The entire kingdom fell asleep, even the mice, and the roses grew wildly over the castle." Reminiscent of a classic painting or ancient tapestry, our Sleeping Beauty lies in a bed of curling satin ribbons, caressing velvets, and exquisite beaded coverlets. (Prince Charming is on his way.)
#6: Christmas Elegance—January 1, 1994 (OOP)
Glorious gifts await on the lap of the emerald-gowned heiress who sits beneath the softly falling snow on a starry Christmas Eve. Who would guess from her beaded and bejeweled opulence that she waits each year at this time to spread lavish holiday cheer among those less fortunate?
#7: Fairy Flora— March 15, 1994
Sprightly and lithe, the tiniest of forest fairies flits among dew-covered flowers and berries. Barely bigger than a blossom herself, her dress is fashioned from fresh lavender petals, her wings from silvery cobweb silk, and her magic wand from a single falling star. Take care or you're sure to fall under her magical spell with the first turn of your needle.
#8: The Dreamer (OOP)
What beautiful maiden wouldn't sleep well in a golden beaded gown and a bed of rich crimson silks, lush sapphire velvets and cascading blue and white forget-me-nots? Is she dreaming of angels? Stolen kisses? Waltzing under the moon? You decide as you stitch this peaceful scene and let the cares of the day slip away.
#9: My Lady's Garden (OOP)
Just beyond a fanciful garden gate, a well-born lady tends her flower garden in all its autumn glory. Her dusty mauve dress and burnt orange wrap are the perfect complement to the amethyst, fir and coral blush colors of her late-blooming hollyhocks and asters.
#10: Elizabeth and the Lavender Sky (OOP)
Perhaps she's the spirit of the year's most bountiful season. Perhaps she's the angelic bearer of the first full blooms of summer. Dressed in the colors of the clouds, wind and sky, and surrounded by intricately carved alabaster borders, whatever her purpose, there is no doubt that she is unrivaled by any beauty here on earth.

Wildling Jon AU, The second coming of Bael the Bard. Sort of.
“North or south, singers always find a ready welcome, so Bael ate at Lord Stark’s own table, and played for the lord in his high seat until half the night was gone. The old songs he played, and new ones he’d made himself, and he played and sang so well that when he was done, the lord offered to let him name his own reward. ‘All I ask is a flower,’ Bael answered, ‘the fairest flower that blooms in the gardens o’ Winterfell.’”
“Now as it happened the winter roses had only then come into bloom, and no flower is so rare nor precious. So the Stark sent to his glass gardens and commanded that the most beautiful o’ the winter roses be plucked for the singer’s payment. And so it was done. But when morning come, the singer had vanished … and so had Lord Brandon’s maiden daughter. Her bed they found empty, but for the pale blue rose that Bael had left on the pillow where her head had lain.”
– A Clash of Kings - Jon VI
With Jon having run off with the wildlings north of the Wall as seen in GoT’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad finale, there has been speculation within the fandom as to whether or not Jon is merely escorting the remaining free folk, or whether he has chosen to abandon his punishment post at the Night’s Watch to become King-beyond-the-Wall. If the latter is true, then perhaps the ending to the series is even more bittersweet than we originally perceived, for it might mean that Jon truly will never return from exile, never see his family again, never get a chance to fulfill the dreams he longed for before war and death became the dominant forces in his life.
But maybe not. Maybe memories of a tale Ygritte once told him inspires Jon to sneak back to Winterfell under an assumed identity (Jim Frost, anyone?) in order to woo a beautiful Stark woman with magical tales of the real North and the Lands of Always Winter. Maybe he, like Bael, will gift her with a flower, win her heart, and become the father of her son and heir. Their story needn’t end tragically like in the original tale. Maybe this time, the rose o’ Winterfell and her wildling lover exchange vows under the heart tree and grow old together in love and laughter, surrounded by their family. Surely someone in the show!verse is allowed a simple, straightforward happy ending.
It’s no less improbable than Bran becoming King, anyway.

» v. the darkness we had left behind ; harry potter .
Everyone knows the name Simon Fairbairn; how he terrorized the Wizarding world at the side of He Who Must Not Be Named. When the dark Lord disappeared on the night that he encountered the Boy Who Lived, many of his followers ran off into hiding. But many others still, were captured and sent to Azkaban, Fairbairn included. He had been sold out by his own blood.
Back in the English countryside, a mother and her three children resided; a family that shared the name of Fairbairn. But they didn't keep it for long. As soon as her husband had been taken away, Rose Fairbairn quickly changed their name to that of Marrowbone, her maiden name. To protect the children, the family, and their reputation. They had no association with the monster that was Simon Fairbairn. The monster who burned and pillaged and killed under the name of Voldemort. Who had terrorized his own children and wife with violence and abuse.
For nearly ten years they lived in peace. As much peace as they could get, hiding away their origins. The Children attended school and learned to protect themselves. But their mother was sick, and she did not have much strength. When the younger two were only in their fifth year, the monster returned, somehow escaping the depths and dementors of the great Azkaban walls. He had only one goal on his mind and vowed to take revenge on those that had betrayed him.
Fairbairn found his family once again, despite their hiding. And upon learning their change of name, he was even more furious. Ferocious rage that ensnared those innocent souls within his wrath. Rose hid her children away, locked them where he could not get in. She cast a series of protective charms. Then stood her ground. However, his dark arts and rage overpowered her weak form. Rose’s body collapsed against the door, like a shield between herself and the young. However, he could not get through, for the power of love and sacrifice outweighed his villainy. But he waited, for they could not stay in there forever. In the midst of their torment, Rose had been sure to alert the ministry. They were on their way. But just as their arrived, Fairbairn made his escape running off into the night to once again join the side of his Dark Lord.
Rose was weak, but alive. Sent to St. Mungos, the children now live alone, hiding their past. And their mother’s condition. She would not have long. Still under her protective charms, their father cannot get near them even if he tried. They must finish up their years of school. Jack must turn 17 before their mother’s time runs out.
**Further character details below:
NOTE: Within the time-line, Billy and Jane are 5 years ahead of the Golden trio and Jack is 6 ahead. The eldest Marrowbone finishes school at the end of Chamber of Secrets. Jane and Billy finish after Prisoner of Azkaban. This doesn't have to stay consistent, the time-line can change. The kids can be closer to the golden trio's age if desired. I am not picky to sticking to timelines, as long as it is in the wizarding universe. For the elder Marrowbones, their hp verse will take place anywhere between their 4th and 7th years. Adulthood / post Hogwarts can be discussed (when Sam is in school).
Sam attends school about eleven years later. Just before the next generation comes along. Perhaps in the early years of James. Again, this can change and timelines do not need to be stuck to. The only big important thing, is that Sam is NOT at Hogwarts the same time as the older Marrowbones are. Sam's hp verse will take place alongside his teen and young adult verse respectively. Teen fc for years 1-4 and grown fc with years 5-7.
---
Individual muse info:
JACK: Gryffindor. Excellent at Defense Against the Dark Arts and history. Member of the wizard's chess team. Goes on to become a wonderfully skilled auror. He marries Allie, a muggle whom he met back home. They move into their own house a few doors down. While Jack is gone often, traveling for work, he make sure to always return for holidays and come by on weekends. He also sends lots of parcels Sam's way when the youngest attends school.
JANE: Ravenclaw. Enjoys divination and potions. She skips her 6th year, to stay at home with newborn Sam. But manages to set up a system with Flitwick and Dumbledore that allows for private lessons on holidays and self teaching her studies at home. Their mother passes not long after this term. Jane becomes a healer within their small country wizarding village.
BILLY: Slytherin. Excels at herbology and charms. You can often find him in the greenhouse or down at Hagrid's cabin. The grounds keeper often hires the boy to help with his garden, paying him in rockcakes, pasties, or intricate Magical creatures artifacts for him to send home to Sam. Member of the dueling club. While he pleaded to skip his 6th year as well, and be there at Jane's side, he was not allowed. After all, Hogwarts was the safest place they could be. And Jack only had to finish his final year. So the boys were sent back for term. After finishing school, Billy remains living with Jane and Sam, working in the village local bar.
SAM: Hufflepuff. Sam has a natural talent and passion in Care for Magical Creatures. Following his brother’s footsteps, he befriends Hagrid and is often working with the various magical creatures on campus (or he can be found near the edge of the Forbidden Forest). In his fourth year, he is deemed old enough to finally learn about his parentage. After hearing a prophecy that sounded too familiar to his own life, Sam fears he will encompass his father's evil ways against his will. Falling into a deep identity crisis, he works alongside the headmaster to qualm his fears and tribulations throughout the term. He lives with Jane and Billy in their country home, within a secluded wizarding village.

hello, hello, hello my friends ! my name is hannah. i’m 22, from the est, and i’m currently enrolled in school. i have a fairly simple schedule this semester and will be on as often as i can and i’d like to classify myself as pretty active. my baby, alyra mooton, has a ton of information about her under the cut — for both herself and house mooton. in an attempt to make sure this post isn’t a thousand miles long, you can find a timeline for alyra’s life here, all of her stats here, and all of her connections ( wanted and taken ! ) here. like this post and i’ll come at you for plots !
♔ → westeros presents alyra mooton, the lady of maidenpool and advisor to the king in the north. a raven sent word that she bears the resemblance to hailee steinfeld. the twenty five year old cis female was tactful & intuitive before the dawn of war, but have now become opinionated & unyielding. when songs are sung, their verses speak of bones scattered around a chalk stained witching table adorned with greenery too far north, soft hands made callous by impatience and desperation, and feverishly quick quills across pages, droplets of ink scattered across notes of past readings. whispers throughout the seven kingdoms claim that their allegiance lies with house stark, but fealty means little when you play the game of thrones. ( hannah, 22, est, she/her. )
BIOGRAPHY
long before house mooton became a vassal to the tullys, in the time before the andal invasion, there was a heart tree that the first men protected. the original mootons worshipped the old gods of the forest, the mooton sisters still do. when the andals invaded, the first men stood their ground as best they could, hiding away their stories under floorboards and in the hearts of their children, praying they would be passed down. the old gods of the forest heard their prayers, the old gods of the forest made sure their stories were told.
when the andals brought the light of the seven with them, house mooton found what similarities they could. they promised the children they would protect the tree in the center of their household and the children gave them a gift in exchange. they approached the lady mooton who was newly pregnant and placed their hands on her stomach, promising her prosperity, foresight, and good fortune. the children kept their promise and so did the mootons. the daughters born from this promise millennia ago came in a set of three, each utilizing a different aspect of foresight. every few hundred years, three little girls come again. and again. and again. as long as they are needed, they will come.
the mooton sisters, regardless of which three you speak of over the course of the last few thousand years, always come in the same three order and always pay the same three prices. the oldest will have dreams, vivid and hard to control but once harnessed an irreplaceable tool. all gifts come at a cost and this gift is steep and takes what it gives: sight. consider the silver lining. a lack of clarity in this world gives you the advantage of seeing the world beyond and all that it could be.
the middle of the sisters uses bones and fire, a risk every time she reached in her hand to the fire. wait too long and the bones crumple to ash, not enough and a false reading comes through. all gifts come at a cost and this gift balances on a moral scale: how many times are you willing to put an end to one thing’s life to learn more about a future that isn’t guaranteed ?
the youngest uses cards — decorative, artistic, beautiful — just like her. the cards, with enough good intention and energy, could help her bring truths to light. but asking the right question isn’t always easy. all gifts come at a cost and this gift requires wisdom that must be honed over years. even an experienced seer may misinterpret that which she does not understand.
each of the daughters also corresponds with one of the three faces of the seven that typically have feminine characteristics. though they do not follow the faith, they make appearances as though they do so they may blend in with other houses who do not embrace the old ways, especially in the riverlands. the oldest represents the crone, the middle represents the mother, and the youngest represents the maiden.
her childhood was one of confusing, vivid dreams and intuition too sharp for a small child. she was too keen, too curious, too wild, and then the birth of her little sister came and things started to make more sense. these are the next three, the children once more keeping their promise. gods save the king.
alyra has a memory, from when she was a little girl, that told her to scatter the bones on the ground. not to clutch on to what she knew but to scatter them against the wind, to have faith in what they would say. in the beginning she wanted everything to have a meaning, for everything to be structured, and to have a clear, individual voice. but they are bones and for all their rigidity, they were fluid in meaning. every time, they might change their tune or stop speaking completely. alyra learned early on that she needed to find her own way of listening, one of those methods was fire. her proclivity for fire is inherently different from a red priestess. she did not see the lord of light in the flames or understand his message or hear his voice. instead, fire was the conduit for the bones and the noises the bones make as they burn in the fire is as important as the bones when they’ve been pulled from the fire.
she was twenty when the red wedding happened and in her readings, no matter the question, find robb stark was the answer. she ignored the bones as much as she could because she was scared. her elder sister told alyra that she must find robb stark before lions sleep in a garden of roses. some meanings were thinly veiled. these were not. it was when alyra’s younger sister, all of sixteen, demands that she go that alyra finally accepted. weeks of ignoring the bones and time further spent traveling and she wondered what might happen when she finally crossed paths with the northern army. a young woman alone on horseback was not the cavalry that they needed but the mootons were loyal to house stark and had declared for them long before she had finally decided to ride out. the bones led her to the camp, the first example of her gifts.
let stannis have his red priestess. the children of the forest have sent their gift.
OTHER COOL THINGS I PUT IN MY APP BUT DON’T HAVE A PLACE ABOVE:
while i didn’t make a playlist, these are a couple of the songs that i listened to while creating alyra and her family. they’re not necessarily songs that she would listen to or enjoy, they have significantly influenced the build of her character and the way that i can understand her.
this city → sam fischer
the line that struck me the most: I remember mornings when my head didn't hurt / And I remember nights when art didn't feel like work
why it makes an impact: alyra was fresh to war when she joined the northern army. she knew the stories of victors and the way they spoke of the battles but they were so romanticized for her. they didn’t tell her of the carnage, of the blood stains that would never come out, of the way she’d see it all at night. though not desensitized to it entirely now, alyra has found her ways to cope. sometimes when she does too many readings in a row, when she’s desperate for answers that she’s not ready for, she might wake up with flu-like symptoms; aches in her bones, a quiet, thrumming pain in her head, and a grip on her heart that doesn’t relax.
this feeling → the chainsmokers ft kelsi ballerini
the line that struck me the most: i’ll tell you a story before it tells itself and they tell me think with my head, not that thing in my chest
why it makes an impact: when alyra is questioned, because there are certainly people who have accused her being a witch and i’m sure once in a while those accusations still fly, she has the same measured response, “i am of the land, the land is of me, and i can tell you what i see.” it has a similar energy to “i’ll tell you a story before it tells itself” and while some people might call her a hopeful child, she is confident in what she does and says. they tell her to think with her heart but they don’t know that cuts her off from her gift more than anything. she learned from a young age that overthinking the bones is the worst mistake she can make. her open heart is sensitive, but she is steadfast in her beliefs. gods save the people who try to convince her otherwise.

The Lady and her Shinobi
iOkay, so, this is from a dream I had last night and I had to get it out. I had to share. The names are all really poorly planned because I got this done as quick as I could
Word count: 1927
Content warnings: Gore, Violence
Isshin stood staring at the gigantic eye, young and cocky, in front of such an ancient and all-knowing monster.
“If you grant me the powers I want, I can bring you the maiden you want. I can bring her alive or dead, whichever you prefer.” He says, puffing himself up. The reptilian eye blink slowly, first the clear lid, then the scaled one. They click audibly, and don’t open again. Isshin glares. “You’re oh so wise and powerful, yet can’t take advantage of the offer I bring you. Sometimes, I doubt that you’re as wise as they all say.” He hisses, as the gigantic dragon head pulls away from the pagoda.
Standing on the edge of the Cliff Gardens, Isshing watches the long red serpentine dragon as it begins to fly. There is no wind, no noise, as though the world is doing what it can to negate the monster’s presence. There’s a shuffling behind him, and its by pure instinct that the drop to the second level of the Cliff Gardens doesn’t kill him.
“Dragon! Al-Imir! Swallower of the sun and Ender of time!” A female voice calls out. It must be one of the ladies. “We’ve come for your head!” There’s 4 hisses as starmetal swords, forged in hellfire and quenched in heaven’s tears slide from their sheaths. There’s another rumble.
“As it was in the time of the Gods! The Ladies of Sakura, Geranium, Rose, Hellebore, Lily, and Orchid houses are here to stop your madness!” Another voice calls out, slightly higher-pitched, but steadfast and powerful. Isshin looked back up, watching as best he could from below the six figures. At least their color-coordination made it easy to keep track of who was who. Sakura in her pink, Geranium in her blue, Rose in her red, Hellebore in green, Lily in yellow, and Orchid in purple.
There was a grumble in the distance, and Isshin barely had time to hear the “incoming!” call before he had to dive out of the way and then some to avoid being crushed by the dragon’s enormous mass as it crashed into the Gardens. There’s a yell from above that Isshin doesn’t even try to decipher before scrambling his way back up the cliff, settling on the territorial wall of Geranium house, perched carefully on the blue ceramic tiles. The fight was fantastic, Lily, Hellebore, Rose and Orchid are all doing their best to keep pace and survive the dragon’s assault, deflecting claws and diving out of the way of gigantic teeth.
Geranium and Sakura are holding each other, Sakura standing more protectively over Geranium, who looks to be much younger than the other five Ladies. Isshin can almost imagine her tears. He probably wasn’t the only one, because at that moment, the four Ladies engaging in combat turn to face Geranium. And the dragon follows suit. Its maw obscured the view of everyone but Isshin. Sakura’s hand is on the tanto at her back, gripping tightly. Silence reigns, even as the other Ladies run towards them.
The dragon barely opens its maw, seemingly careful about its actions, and slowly pushes one impossibly long fang through Sakura’s forearm. Sakura cries out, but clutches Geranium harder to her side. At that moment, the other four ladies appear. Rose kicks the dragon’s snout down, withdrawing the fang and momentarily stunning it against the floor.
“The five of you go!” Rose calls. She’s drawing her wakizashi to match the katana in her right hand.
“Are you sure-” Lily begins to ask, but a glare from Rose cuts her off.
“I’ll buy you as much time as I can.” There’s a moment of silence. Of understanding. Of goodbye. The Lilac is taking control.
“Let’s go! Get them inside. She needs immediate attention! Go go go!” Lilac is rushing back to the gate in the Geranium house walls, ushering in her four compatriots in. Lilac casts one more glance out as she closes the door. Silence reigns again. Ishin creeps close enough to Rose to hear the mantra she’s chanting.
“I am the fire’s heat. I am the earth’s core. I am the wind’s grace. I am water’s calm.” She repeats the same verse, over and over again, eyes closed, breathing stable. The dragon peeks over the cliff again, recovered from the shock. It spoke for the first time.
“You stand alone, Lady of House Rose.” It said, its voice shaking the very earth they stood on. Isshin nearly slipped off the ceramic tiles, but Rose stood, unshaked, unfazed.
“I am all they need to stop you.” She hissed in response.
“Brave, or foolish?” The dragon asked. “Which are you?” Rose didn’t answer, merely dropping into a ready stance, wakizashi resheathed, both hands on the katana. The dragon huffed once. “Very well.” The next attack came from the left, and Rose deflected the claws, standing, unmoving. The dragon swiped from the right, and Rose deflected, standing, unmoving. The dragon went for a bite, but Rose shifted, moving quickly and quietly, dodging between the dragons claws so its jaws closed on empty air. Rose slashed at the dragons claws, leaving a black mark on the back of its hand as black blood began to seep through the cut. The dragon roared.
It tried again with its claws, more wary this time, slashing and swiping. But it never hit Rose. The dragon growled in frustration, before being washed in bright light, and seemingly replaced by a samurai, wielding an Odachi, as long as Rose was tall. “If you insist on standing as you do, I’ll do you the honor of a quick death.” The samurai said, just before he rushed in, winging overhead with the massive weapon. Isshin didn’t even register when Rose had drawn her wakizashi, as she blocked the odachi, catching the blade in the cross of her own swords.
Their exchange was fast, and Isshin was mesmerized, until a movement caught his attention. Behind the samurai, hovering quietly, the dragon grinned, invisible. Isshin would have said something, but the tail strike moved faster than sound. It sliced the illusory samurai in half, and slammed into Rose, sending her flying as the dragon reappeared.
“Foolish, then.” It said, drawing back. It flew up high, impossibly high, a red serpent painted in contrast to the blue sky. Isshin saw it begin to move. He didn’t register his body moving, or drawing the katana at his waist, or the shattering of his own sword against the dragon’s maw. All he did registar was the dragon, a little to his left, and Rose, squarely behind him, safe.
“Lady of House Rose, I will need to borrow your sword.” He said. The Lady of House Rose coughed, and clutched at her abdomen.
“No. It is not your place-” She began, but Isshin cut her off.
“I can and will save your life.” He grabbed the katana from the floor, and kicked the wakizashi back to Rose. The dragon glared.
“So. I was right to mistrust you. You who doubt my wisdom.” The dragon said. Isshin nearly laughed.
“Maybe you aren’t as stupid as you act.” He said. There was silence, and Isshin sprung into action. He launched himself up, almost to eye-level with the dragon, and slashed down, drawing more blood along the top of the dragon’s snout. The dragon roared as Isshin plummeted to the second level of the Cliff Gardens. He didn’t stop moving though, immediately bolting to the right as the dragon crashed into the wall behind him. Isshin glanced back once, and slid down to the third floor of the Cliff Gardens, barely avoiding getting eaten. Adrenaline filled his veins as he dashed to the left, holding the sword out to his right, cutting deep into the dragon’s soft underbelly as he did. The dragoon roared again and backed off. Isshin took the opportunity to scramble back up the cliffs.
“You.” Rose’s voice stopped him. It no longer sounded wounded. Isshin looked back, and watched her finish sealing the gourd at her hip.
“Lady.” Isshin looked back to where the dragon was closing in fast. He backpedaled quickly, only to back into Rose.
“You’ve done your part.” She said, grabbing the katana from his hands. Isshin just took advantage, and ran back to the Geranium territory wall. Once over the blue ceramic tiles, he peeked back at where Rose stood. The dragon had tried to smash through her, but had been stopped, the tip of his maw against the flat of Rose’s katana. There was a shuffle behind him, and Isshin whirled to see the Ladies of the other Houses, minus Geranium and Sakura, marching out, eyes determined, hands grasping their katanas. Behind them marched the entire retinue of house Geranium. Soldiers, guards, servants, cooks, all of them. All of them as armed as they could be.
Isshin is looking at the empty sheath at his side, dismayed. He took in the battle field again. The dragon was pinned to the floor by the katana in its upper jaw. It was growling and roaring as best it could. It was trying to bite through the Cliff Gardens, to swallow Rose. The other three ladies were standing, drawing their swords and beginning to swing mercilessly at any piece of the dragon they could reach. The soldiers were punching, kicking, nursing broken toes, shattered weapons, and generally being an annoyance. The servants were tending to the injured, replacing tools, and throwing ceramic roof tiles, which shattered upon impact. Isshin watched, and followed their lead. He scrambled back onto the wall, and started picking at the loose tiles he could find.
It took a little bit, but he managed to gather five tiles. Isshin begins to lob them. One shatters on a horn. The second on a tooth. The third in a nostril. The fourth between the eyes. And the fifth shatters in the dragon’s eye. Isshin drops back onto the battlefield, and picks up what he can. He’s not doing this for the world. He’s not even doing it for Lady Rose. He’s doing this because he couldn’t stand to be the only coward in a mass of warriors. But then Lady Rose looks back at him, and throws the wakizashi in her left hand at him. Reflexes borne out of years of practice let him catch it.
Lady Rose nods. Its an unspoken agreement. The dragon begins to curl in, trying to crush all the pesky gnats with its sheer body mass alone. Isshin takes the wakizashi and drives it as deep as he can into the nearest part of the dragon. As the dragon curls and curls, the black streak gets longer and longer. And the other Ladies follow suit. Soon the dragon is scored, nearly from head to tail with cuts just oozing black blood. It can’t curl as tight as it wants to, not without impaling itself.
“Get the soldiers and servants out!” Lay Rose calls. Soldiers and servants killed and wounded, healthy and able, are removed, by each other, by themselves. The last combatants, the Ladies and Isshin, are holding tight to their swords. Rose pulls her own blade from the dragon’s maw, and faster than they can all follow, drives the blade through the dragon's eye.
The wakizashi is nearly torn from Isshin’s hands as the dragon goes limp and begins to fall. But he holds tight, and in the end, he's covered in black blood, holding tight to the short sword. His hands are clammy and his legs are shaking. He slumps to the ground and falls unconscious.
