༺𓆩 valentine’s brutal, darling! 𓆪༻

♡‧₊˚‎ the inner working of the heart:

this event will only contain pieces that will either be yandere or nsfw! bear in mind, nsfw will only be written for afab readers and will use she/her prns but yandere pieces will always be gn! i do write wlw for nsfw.

now that we have gotten that out the way, here is some info regarding this valentine’s event! the entire selection of prompts (or rather lyrics which will be used as inspiration for the writing) is based on chase atlantic songs! there is no requirement for you to know about them or their music however, as the simple rules will explain everything you have to do! <3

these will be posted in instalments that will be sorted by fandom and nsfw/yandere! so it may take me a lil’ while to get everything out and ready. please be patient <3

‎♡‧₊˚‎ follow the heartbeat:

have i captured your interest? great! let’s move onto the rules shall we? don’t worry, they’re quite simple! all you have to do is send me the song title and the character you want it with after reading the lyrics from either the yandere section or the nsfw section!

however! i will only write for a specific character once. and the same applies for the song title! so if, let’s say, the song ‘moonlight’ was chosen for ‘azul’, neither the song nor the character could be requested again!

therefore, this event will work on a first come, first served basis. i will regularly update what characters and songs have already been chosen, so stay on the lookout for that dear! if your request doesn’t get written, this will be the reason why.

requesting nsfw for the twst first years is strictly prohibited <3!

inspired by this post an AU where Arthur is Alfred's dad who's divorced and has been single for a while until he introduces his new boyfriend Allen who is roughly around the same age as his son Alfred.

Alfred decides to fight fire with fire and if we apply the face fam setting to the 2ps as well that would end in Alfred trying to hook up with Oliver but what he soon figures out is that Oliver is happily married to Louis. which doesn't really stop him though and things only get more awkward when Allen's dads introduce Alfred as their shared new boyfriend.

Not sure where Francis is in this story though. He and Arthur probably got divorced and then started missing each other and now they get along better than when they were married so somehow they get back together. oh!! francis x arthur x allen? Yeah, might as well happen here.

Matthew and James are also there watching chaos unfold from the sideline and maybe red velvet pancakes becomes a thing because I love the ship and it would be funny if they are the only "normal" people in their now somehow shared household. They bond during the very necessary smoke breaks they take at family gatherings.

Le'Veon Bell? David Johnson? Ezekiel Elliott? Ranking every team's RB situation

yahoo

Running backs don’t hold the same value they once did. They have among the shortest average career length among skill-position players, and teams rarely use three-down backs any more. Instead, most teams employ a two-back system, with a pass-catching back on third downs. Yes, there are still some bell cows — and having a player that not only has the skills but also the durability to hold up like that is a major asset.

Ranking running back groups is a tough task. Depth is obviously important, but if a team has a proven workhorse back, is having extra backups all that important? For the vast majority of the league, several running backs will see significant action every Sunday. In that regard, grading running back situations via a points system is much more difficult than doing so for quarterbacks, as I did two weeks ago.

[Fantasy Football is open! Sign up now]

Overall, depth matters. But it matters more for some teams and less for others. So these rankings reflect that: based mainly on starters and third-down backs, but factoring in depth for teams without a true rep-dominant No. 1 back. Without further ado …

Ezekiel Elliott’s huge rookie year boosted the Cowboys to the top spot. (Getty)

32. Detroit Lions

Starter: Ameer Abdullah

Third down: Theo Riddick

Backups: Zach Zenner, Matt Asiata, Dwayne Washington

The Lions find themselves at the bottom of this list after finishing 30th in the NFL last year in rushing yards per game. Four separate players started at least two games at running back in 2016, and neither Abdullah nor Riddick has been able to stay healthy for long enough to be considered reliable lead backs. While Zenner is a nice goal-line piece and Riddick catches the ball very well, not having a true lead back — much less a workhorse back — hurts Detroit in these rankings.

31. Washington Redskins

Robert Kelley was a pleasant surprise for the Redskins last season. (Getty)

Starter: Robert Kelley/Samaje Perine

Third down: Chris Thompson

Backups: Matt Jones, Mack Brown

The Redskins had one of the most disappointing rushing attacks last season. Jones couldn’t shake his fumbling issues and lost the starting job to Kelley about halfway through the season. Now Jones wants out of town. The team drafted Perine in the fourth round after an ultra-productive career at Oklahoma, but how well he acclimates to the bigger, faster pro game is to be determined. Thompson, a skilled speedster who plays exclusively on third-down, is coming off a good season.

30. New York Giants

Starter: Paul Perkins

Third down: Shane Vereen

Backups: Shaun Draughn, Orleans Darkwa, Wayne Gallman

The Giants finished 26th in the league with just 26 percent of the team’s yards coming on the ground last year, and former starter Rashad Jennings is no longer dancing around defenders but on the dance floor. Perkins had some nice moments in his rookie season and should earn the starting role in his second season. Behind him, Vereen played just five games last season but is one of the league’s best passing-down backs.

29. New York Jets

Starter: Matt Forte

Third down: Bilal Powell

Backups: Brandon Wilds, Elijah McGuire

While essentially everything crumbled around them last year, Forte and Powell both managed solid years, especially considering the Jets presented almost no passing threat. Forte’s not his old self anymore, but he can still handle the first two downs and catch the ball well when needed. Powell, meanwhile, had his finest season as a pro by a wide margin, averaging 5.5 yards per rush and catching 58 passes. He’s a big reason the Jets come in one spot above their fellow Big Apple team.

28. Baltimore Ravens

Starter: Kenneth Dixon*/Terrance West/Lorenzo Taliaferro

Third down: Danny Woodhead

Backup: Javorius Allen

Who’s going to start for Baltimore? Well, it really depends on who you ask. The Ravens’ game sputtered last year, accounting for just 25.2 percent of the Ravens’ total yards. That mark was 29th in the league. West got the most work, but he didn’t do a ton with it. Dixon was the team’s most impressive back, but he’s suspended for four games, which impacts the team (and its place in these rankings) significantly. Woodhead is coming off a torn ACL and is 32, but if he can get back to near his best, he can be a useful and important part of this offense. Overall, having the depth the Ravens have helps, but unless someone really separates from the pack, it’s not a special backfield.

27. Denver Broncos

Starter: C.J. Anderson

Third down: Jamaal Charles/Devontae Booker

Backups: Juwan Thompson, De’Angelo Henderson

The Broncos are pretty similar to the Ravens, which is why the two find themselves next to one another in the rankings. There’s youth, experience and major health risks. Anderson has been effective when healthy, but he played just five games last year. Charles has played in just eight games in the past two years combined . Booker showed flashes as a rookie but has to take care of the ball. This group could disappoint again, as it did last year. Or Anderson could get back to a Pro Bowl level and Charles could show glimpses in spot duty of what he once was, proving this ranking too low.

26. San Francisco 49ers

Starter: Carlos Hyde

Third down: Tim Hightower

Backups: Kapri Bibbs, Joe Williams

Unlike most of the players on the San Francisco offense, Hyde is a really good player. He put up nearly 1,000 yards in just 13 games. He also caught more passes for more yards in his third year than in his first two seasons combined. San Francisco’s abysmal offense, though, limited him, and it will limit him again in 2017. Hightower brought his career back from the dead the last couple of seasons in New Orleans and was a valuable pickup as someone who can help on the field and in the locker room. Just like the 49er offense as a whole, there’s not a ton to be excited about from this group — at least not in its current state.

25. Indianapolis Colts

Frank Gore is one of the most consistent backs in NFL history. (Getty)

Starter: Frank Gore

Third-down: Robert Turbin/Christine Michael

Backups: Marlon Mack, Josh Ferguson

Say what will you will about Gore, but he’s absolutely one of the best running backs of his era. Look at his numbers. Nine seasons of at least 1,000 yards. Eight seasons with at least 250 yards receiving. No games missed over the last six years. There’s nothing even remotely pretty about his game. Rather, he is an unceasingly consistent force bowling toward you 260 times per year. Behind him, the Colts have several options to go with on third down.

24. Kansas City Chiefs

Starter: Spencer Ware

Third down: Charcandrick West

Backups: Kareem Hunt, C.J. Spiller

The Chiefs lost Jamaal Charles for the second straight year and still didn’t skip a beat, marching on to the playoffs thanks to Ware and West. Now the run-heavy Chiefs have added Spiller and Hunt, a rookie, to the backfield as well. The initial reports on Hunt are encouraging, and a healthy Spiller can be a weapon for any team.

23. Houston Texans

Starter: Lamar Miller

Third down: Miller

Backups: Alfred Blue, D’Onta Foreman

Miller received the biggest workload of his career in his first year in Houston, and it showed. In his first seven regular-season games, he surpassed 80 yards five times. Over the next seven, he only reached that mark three times. Miller missed the final two games of the season before averaging under three yards per carry in the playoffs. So the Texans drafted Foreman in the third round. How much and how well he can contribute will play a big part in keeping Miller fresh and boosting this attack.

22. Green Bay Packers

Starter: Ty Montgomery

Third down: Montgomery

Backups: Jamaal Williams, Aaron Jones, Devante Mays

After Eddie Lacy went down, Montgomery singlehandedly rescued Green Bay’s running game. The former wide receiver switched positions on the fly and averaged nearly six yards per carry. The performance was enough for the Packers to rid themselves of every other running back on the roster — Lacy, James Starks and Christine Michael — and start anew with Montgomery. When you have Aaron Rodgers you don’t need a traditional running game, and Montgomery’s ability to split out wide was invaluable. Williams and Jones, both late-round picks, are going to be expected to contribute early on. There’s not a whole lot of proven production from this group.

21. Carolina Panthers

Starter: Jonathan Stewart

Third down: Christian McCaffrey

Backups: Fozzy Whittaker, Cameron Artis-Payne

Stewart’s yards per carry dropped from 4.1 in 2015 to 3.8 in 2016, showing how important Cam Newton’s success as a runner is to opening up holes for the backs. Stewart hasn’t averaged better than 4.6 yards per carry since 2011, and he hasn’t been the same since injury problems in 2012 and 2013 derailed the prime of his career. McCaffrey is an intriguing rookie addition, especially because of his versatility catching the ball out of the backfield. He’ll play an important role in getting this offense back to its 2015 heights.

20. Los Angeles Rams

Starter: Todd Gurley

Third down: Gurley/Lance Dunbar

Backups: Malcolm Brown, Aaron Green

I’m not losing faith in Gurley, even after one of the worst sophomore slumps in recent memory. His average dropped by more than 1.5 yards per carry from his rookie season and he scored four fewer touchdowns. The Rams had one of the worst passing attacks in the league last season while trying a midseason transition from Case Keenum to Jared Goff. Gurley might not reach his rookie numbers this season as Goff becomes the full-time starter, but he certainly isn’t as bad as his 2016 numbers suggested. What hurts the Rams is a lack of depth. Dunbar signed a one-year deal that really seems more to be a bridge to fill the gap before Brown and Green can become contributors next season.

19. Cleveland Browns

Starter: Isaiah Crowell

Third down: Duke Johnson Jr.

Backups: George Atkinson, Matt Dayes, Darius Jackson

Crowell led a Browns ground attack that accounted for 31.7 percent of the team’s offensive yards, 10th-best in the NFL. Without a reliable passing attack, Cleveland’s offense often faced loaded boxes and Crowell still managed 4.8 yards per carry. He’s just 24 and, because of where he plays, one of the most under-appreciated promising players at his position. Johnson, meanwhile, catches the ball well out of the backfield (53 receptions) and serves as a solid change-of-pace option. If the Browns start winning some games, this group’s ranking will climb.

18. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Starter: Doug Martin*/Jacquizz Rodgers

Third down: Charles Sims

Backups: Peyton Barber, Jeremy McNichols

Having played in 57 games, nearly nine percent of Martin’s career yards have come from two monster games. When he’s healthy, Muscle Hamster is an above-average starter. The problem is he hasn’t been healthy or consistent enough to warrant that rating, and now he’s facing a three-game suspension to start the season. Luckily for the Bucs, Rodgers proved to be a solid pickup last season, and Sims has showed well when given the chance. Those two should keep the operation running smoothly until Martin returns.

17. Philadelphia Eagles

Starter: LeGarrette Blount/Ryan Mathews

Third down: Darren Sproles

Backups: Wendell Smallwood, Donnel Pumphrey

The Eagles just keep adding runners. After drafting Smallwood last year, they drafted Pumphrey and added Blount in free agency. It’s the addition of Blount that should have the Eagles most excited, though. A champion last year with the Patriots, Blount was the league’s leading carrier in the red zone, the same area Philly struggled in last year. He’ll also help keep the oft-injured Mathews fresh, though Mathews might not stick on the roster. Sproles always provides excitement and value as a back and as a returner. There’s depth and skill in this unit as long as it stays healthy.

16. Minnesota Vikings

Dalvin Cook provides size, speed and power in Minnesota. (Getty)

Starter: Latavius Murray

Third down: Dalvin Cook/Jerick McKinnon

Murray is coming off back-to-back solid seasons with the Raiders, and at just 27 is still very much in his prime. But that��s not what makes this new-look backfield exciting. It’s Cook, who rushed for nearly 1,800 yards last season at Florida State, that gives the group great upside. While the two will likely take carries from one another — and drive fantasy owners crazy — they will provide a very solid one-two punch. McKinnon has all you’re looking for in a third-down back. Overall, this is a solid trio of running backs.

15. Oakland Raiders

Starter: Marshawn Lynch

Third down: Jalen Richard

Backups: DeAndre Washington, Taiwan Jones

There’s a big difference between the perception of how good Lynch is versus how good he actually is. He didn’t play last season, and in 2015 he couldn’t stay healthy while averaging just 3.8 yards per carry. Did the year off help his body? Is he in football shape? If the answer to both questions is yes, the Raiders are getting a steal. But in all likelihood the Raiders will try to keep Beast Mode’s carries down while giving Richard and Washington, two promising youngsters, a significant amount of work.

14. Seattle Seahawks

Starter: Eddie Lacy/Thomas Rawls

Third down: Rawls

Backup: C.J. Prosise

The Seahawks and the Raiders are in very similar positions regarding their reclamation project lead back. Lacy burst on to the scene with two outstanding early years, but he didn’t stay healthy the two years after that. He was actually running well last season, averaging over five yards per carry, but he didn’t find the end zone before being shut down for the season. Like Marshawn Lynch, if he’s in shape, he’s a steal. Rawls, meanwhile, took carries from Lynch two years ago, but he’s also coming off a major injury (broken ankle). Lacy and Rawls can be a very good duo at their best. Will either be close to that, though?

13. Los Angeles Chargers

Starter: Melvin Gordon

Third down: Branden Oliver

Backups: Kenneth Farrow, Andre Williams

This ranking is due almost entirely to the huge across-the-board improvement Gordon showed in his sophomore year. Even as the team around him struggled, Gordon produced consistently and is only going to get better, especially with the Chargers focusing on the offensive line in the draft.

12. New England Patriots

Starter: Dion Lewis/James White/Mike Gillislee/Rex Burkhead

Third down: Lewis/White

It doesn’t really matter who the Patriots stick in the backfield. If he can catch and make people miss, he’s going to do well. That’s exactly what Lewis and White have done in their time in Foxboro, and that’s exactly what Gillislee and Burkhead are expected to do. Gillislee is probably the most well-equipped to start after averaging a league-leading 5.7 yards per carry last year in Buffalo. While the Patriots will probably split carries, whoever does play will play well. That’s just how things work in New England. The rich get richer.

11. Chicago Bears

Starter: Jordan Howard

Third down: Jeremy Langford/Benny Cunningham

Backups: Ka’Deem Carey, Tarik Cohen

Here’s another example of a promising young running back who produced despite a distinct lack of talent around him. Howard went from backup to one of the league’s best in a matter of weeks. He’s outstanding after contact and showed impressive burst for a guy of his size. The thing keeping the Bears out of the top 10 is poor depth. Neither Langford nor Carey have developed quite as the Bears envisioned, so the team added the journeyman Cunningham and the rookie Cohen to create competition behind their young star starter.

10. Miami Dolphins

Starter: Jay Ajayi

Third down: Ajayi

Backups: Damien Williams, Kenyan Drake

The Dolphins made their first playoff appearance since 2008 largely on the back of Ajayi, who showed just how good he can be when given the opportunity. Ajayi, who as a rookie played second fiddle to Lamar Miller, showed incredible speed and power, churning his way to nearly 1,300 rushing yards. Ajayi also showed soft hands for a man of his size, catching over three-quarters of his targets. Williams and Drake are both skilled players as well who would see more carries if Ajayi weren’t so simply dominant with the ball in his hands.

9. Jacksonville Jaguars

Starter: Leonard Fournette

Third down: T.J. Yeldon

Backups: Chris Ivory, Corey Grant

Stuck with a turnover-prone quarterback and a poor offensive line, neither Yeldon nor Ivory produced at the level the Jaguars would have liked them to. Ivory dropping off from a 1,000-yard rusher to a 400-yard rusher in one season is borderline insane. So the team added Fournette with the fourth overall pick in the draft. There’s simply way too much talent here for a repeat of last year.

8. Buffalo Bills

LeSean McCoy made defenders look silly last season. (Getty)

Starter: LeSean McCoy

Third down: McCoy

Backups: Jonathan Williams, Mike Tolbert, Joe Banyard

There’s not a player who is funner to watch in space than Shady McCoy. Even headed into his ninth year in the league, he’s among the cream of the crop when it comes to his position. Last season, he averaged a career-high 5.4 yards per carry, scored 13 touchdowns on the ground and added 50 catches. McCoy is lightning quick and contributes as a runner, receiver and blocker. It’s vital that he stays healthy this year considering his backup last year, Mike Gillislee, is now with the Patriots. If he can’t do so, we’ll learn a lot about Jonathan Williams, who was productive at Arkansas but has plenty of injury questions. The Bills led the league in percentage of rushing yards last year.

7. Cincinnati Bengals

Starter: Jeremy Hill/Joe Mixon

Third down: Mixon/Giovani Bernard

Backup: Cedric Peerman

The Bengals are a tough group to rank. Jeremy Hill averaged under four yards per carry for the second straight year, but he remains fantastic in the red zone. Bernard is a versatile weapon who has averaged nearly 50 catches per year but is coming off a torn ACL. And then there’s Mixon, whose skill set should translate very well to the pros, but he’s just a rookie and he’ll have off-field questions following him for the rest of his career. If things go well — Mixon becomes the lead back sooner rather than later, Bernard is close to 100 percent and Hill continues his short-yardage dominance — this is one of the league’s elite backfields. If things go poorly — Mixon struggles to adapt to a pro offense, Hill continues to struggle and Bernard isn’t the same player he once was — the Bengals are in trouble.

6. New Orleans Saints

Starter: Mark Ingram/Adrian Peterson

Third-down: Ingram

Backups: Alvin Kamara, Travaris Cadet

Here are the past six seasons of Peterson’s career:

2011: Torn ACL in late December

2012: Offensive MVP and Comeback Player of the Year

2013: Nearly 1,300 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns

2014: Suspended after one game amid child abuse scandal

2015: Led league in rushing

2016: Placed on IR early in the season; played just three games

So what version of Peterson are the Saints getting? If they’re getting the player who was the MVP just a year after tearing his ACL, he’s an absolute steal. But it’s much, much harder to recover from an injury at 32 than it is at 26. If he’s close to what he once was, this could be one of the best groups in the league. Ingram started his career slow but posted his first 1,000-yard season last year, Kamara provides a blazing speed element, and Cadet is an outstanding pass catcher. This group is deep and talented. Still, it will come down to what Peterson can contribute.

5. Atlanta Falcons

Starter: Devonta Freeman

Third-down: Tevin Coleman

Backups: Terron Ward, Brian Hill

The Super Bowl runner-ups are the highest-rated team that uses a designated third-down back. Coleman is fantastic catching the ball out of the backfield and chips in well as a blocker. But don’t sell Freeman short: He has had back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. Both players fit Atlanta’s pass-heavy system well, too. Only seven running backs since 1992 have caught at least 70 percent of their targets and recorded more than 400 yards receiving in a single season. Freeman and Coleman both did that last season. Ward has had some really good moments, so the depth is there as well.

4. Tennessee Titans

Starter: DeMarco Murray

Third-down: Murray

Backup: Derrick Henry, Khalfani Muhammad

Very few teams have two starting-quality running backs in their backfield. The Titans are one of those teams. Murray’s bounce-back season was nothing short of incredible considering how far he had fallen in his single season in Philadelphia. But Murray looked like he was back in Dallas, running behind a very good Tennessee line. He was also able to stay fresh thanks to Henry, who really came into his own as his rookie year wore on. How the Titans split carries will be worth keeping an eye on.

3. Arizona Cardinals

Starter: David Johnson

Third-down: Johnson

Backups: Andre Ellington, TJ Logan

In NFL history, only four players have ever recorded at least 1,200 rushing yards and 800 receiving yards in a single season: Marshall Faulk (1998, 1999, 2000), Steven Jackson (2006), Le’Veon Bell (2014) and Johnson (2016). So even with Arizona’s disappointing year, Johnson produced at a historic rate. Behind him sits the talented but injury-prone Ellington and the rookie Logan. The difference between Pittsburgh and Arizona in the running back category is miniscule.

2. Pittsburgh Steelers

Starter: Le’Veon Bell

Third-down: Bell

Depth: Fitzgerald Toussaint, James Conner, Knile Davis

The Steelers may well have nabbed the top spot if DeAngelo Williams were the backup. Instead, he’s now a professional wrestler. Bell is arguably the most well-rounded back in the league, and because of that, the lack of proven depth is less an issue. Still, Bell isn’t the most durable runner ever, and the Steelers drafted Conner and added Davis because of that. Who emerges as the player behind Bell is something to keep track of throughout training camp.

1. Dallas Cowboys

Starter: Ezekiel Elliott

Third-down back: Elliott

Depth: Darren McFadden, Alfred Morris

The main argument against ranking the Cowboys at No. 1 is that their line is so dominant any halfway decent runner could look good behind it. That may be true, but faulting the league’s most productive running game because of teammates doesn’t seem logical. Elliott proved to be a workhorse stud last year, leading the league in rushing attempts. If Elliott can’t handle the same load this season, the Cowboys have McFadden and Morris, who have combined for five career 1,000-yard seasons. A three-down back plus outstanding depth leads Dallas to the top spot.

Adam and Eve, Wine Street (also listed as Wine Street Passage) For sale on 19th January 1860 as in the possession of George Knowland under lease for 14 years from 14th September 1857, rent £105. Freehold and free. Listed in Inn and Commercial Tavern section.

Information on landlords: F Probart 1824 Edwin Ward 1836-40 George Knowland 1852 G Knowland 1867 George Frederick Knowland 1878 Elizabeth Knowland 1882. Notes: Richard Trotman described as ‘late landlord’ died aged 46 at Coronation Road on March 20th 1840.

Notes: Mr Knowland had a disagreement with T Jones of Jones & Co when the firm’s new store was being erected in Wine Street owing to a part of a cellar used by Mr Knowland being purchased by Mr Jones during the construction. This boiled over on 1st May 1855. Mr Jones had been celebrating a win in Chancery with a group of friends at the house of Mr McMillan, consuming half a dozen bottles of champagne between them which they decided would benefit froma a brandy and water chaser. So they went to the Adam and Eve, whereupon Mr Knowland burst out, grabbed Mr Jones by the collar, pushed him against a wall and swore that he would not enter. After asking him by letter to apologise and send an amount to the Bristol Infirmary, to which there was no reply, Mr Jones brought a case against Mr Knowland that was heard at the Tolzey Court in July. After hearing the evidence the Recorder stated that it would be better settled out of court, which was done.

In 1856 John Baker was charged at Bristol Police Court with stealing three coats from the tavern, the property of Mr Knowland, the landlord. Baker, a recruit, to whom Mr Knowland was said to have shown great kindness, was said to have confessed his guilt and to be very contrite and on the landlord.s intercession the charge was dropped and Baker handed over to his sergeant.

In January 1870 it was reported that for many years Mr Knowland had placed on the smoking tables each Saturday a box in aid of the Royal Infirmary and General Hospital, He had regularly, until recently before his health failed, shaken the box before each customer in the 2 rooms with a friendly request for a penny. The collection for 1861 amounted to 25 guineas, in 1869 was £25 4s.

Mr Knowland was also a visitor at St Peter’s Hospital and Robert James ‘a big powerful man’ who had been an inmate and knew him from this work was taken to court on 1868 for threatening him when he would not offer employment. In 1883 Mrs Knowland reported the collection boxes holding £2 12s 8d.

In March 1884 Albert O’ Brien and Albert Richards were charged with having stolen a pint measure from the pub. It was noticed by a policeman that the measure was marked with ‘Knowland, Adam and Eve’ on the side. O’Brien said that he had ordered the beer just before closing time and could not finish it all so he had taken the cup away and was going to return it the next week. They were fined 11s without costs.

Notes

George Beard – In October 1892 was charged along with his elder brother George, with stealing dress material and other goods from Messrs Jones in Wine Street. George had been employed by the firm as a porter for 2 years. A shop assistant, Helen Anstey stated that she had cut a length of dress material and put it aside and when she returned it was missing. At 6pm George asked her for paper to wrap a parcel and when she followed him the cloth was found there. He pleaded guilty and when he was accompanied to 2, Orchard Street, the Batch, where he lived other pieces of material were found there. His brother lived in 54, Goodhind Street , where more material was found.

Scales and weighing machines (including the Patent National Balances invented by Mr Parnall and 20,000 sold between 1883 and 1893) were manufactured at Fishponds. The Patent Agate Hand Scales were described as ‘specially worthy of the attention of tea dealers……when suspended above the counter they will work three times as long as any other scale without getting out of order’.

The wide range of items manufactured and supplied also included weighbridges (suitable for railway companies, collieries and public corporations), scoops, sack lifters, barrows and trucks, canisters (in large variety), counter boxes and window show trays, show glasses, butchers’ and other warranted cutlery, marble top tables (for restaurants etc), show stands, treacle cisterns, safes and cash boxes, patent tills, provision tickets, window name plates, tobacco cutters and tobacconists’ fixtures, chairs, bottling machines hand carts, coffee mills, tea mixers, hoists, lifts and gas engines.

Iron Church In the fashionable suburb of Clifton, amid the large villas, a mission church was built of iron in 1865. Plans were drawn up for a permanent church by the celebrated architect James Piers St Aubyn, his only church in Bristol, and building was slow, 1870-81. His planned steeple, similar in appearance to that built at Christ Church, never rose above the basement stage and serves as a rather enormous NW porch.

Concerns about the stability of the building brought in John Bevan and he rebuilt part of the nave and chancel, completed 1909. It survived in use until 1976 when the parish was joined to St Saviour. The joint parish purchased the redundant Highbury Chapel c1975 which in turn was restored and rededicated to St Saviour & St Mary, Cotham to replace both buildings. The BBC purchased the Tyndall’s Park church for use as a scenery store. The interior was subdivided and a new entrance created in the north aisle. The church was acquired in the mid-1990s by a free-church congregation, and now in use as the Woodlands Christian Centre. Work began in July 2000 to convert the upper floor into supported housing and the ground floor is to be retained for worship.

Kara stretched while sitting on the sofa in the living room of Wayne Manor. She was currently sitting next to Barry while Diana, Bruce, and Oliver sat on the chairs opposite of them.

Barry yawned and said, “I am kind of surprised that Damian wasn’t the first one here. He seemed really excited about the prospect of playing.”

“I can assure you I have been here the entire time Flash.”

Barry yelped as Damian suddenly appeared behind Barry.

After catching his breath, Barry turned around to Damian, frowned and asked, “Where the hell did you come from?”

Damian smirked and said, “Don’t be mad that you didn’t suspect my presence.” Damian patted Flash on the back and said, “Maybe if you are nice I can give you pointers on stealth.”

Barry rolled her eyes while Kara chuckled.

“You have the stealth thing down Damian. I was barely able to detect your heartbeat which I am not sure if that is something I should be amazed or worry about,” said Kara.

Damian smirked and said, “One day I will surprise you Supergirl.”

Kara smirked and said, “I look forward to the challenge.”

Damian turned to his father and asked, “Father, did Drake, Todd, or Grayson say when they will be here?”

Bruce nodded and said, “They just finished up a mission and will be here in about 15 minutes. Why?”

Damian smirked and said, “It will give Supergirl, Flash, and me a chance to talk about strategy. I see that you brought the heavy hitters with you, but I suggest you take the time we have to do the same.” Damian turned towards Kara and Flash and said, “Come. We have much to discuss.”

Diana and Oliver stared at the trio startled as Kara and Barry shrugged their shoulders and followed Damian out of the living room.

Oliver turned to Bruce as with a raised eyebrow and said, “When you told me about this, you said it would be a nice game of paintball. Why do I have a feeling now that it will be something similar to war games?”

Bruce sighed and said, “Knowing Damian it is or it could be a dig at the fact that I have lost every game night since we started this about a month or two ago.”

Oliver bursted out laughing and asked, “Wait….you’re telling me….the great detective….hasn’t won anything yet. You can’t be serious.”

Bruce pinched the bridge of his nose and said, “Please don’t make me regret asking you to come tonight.”

Oliver wiped a tear from his eye and said, “I’m sorry. I just didn’t see that coming is all.”

Diana chuckled while patting Bruce on the back and said, “Don’t worry. We will make sure that this isn’t another losing streak for you.”

Bruce leaned back into his chair, sighed, and said, “I hope so.”

*****

Kara and Barry sat on Damian’s bed as they watched Damian go through his wardrobe in search of something.

Barry yawned and asked, “So what is this secret strategy that you want to discuss so badly.”

Damian turned around and carried a box to his bed. He opened the box and smirked while looking at the contents inside.

Barry looked at Damian hesitantly and asked, “Whatever you have inside the box isn’t alive, is it?”

Damian scoffed and said, “You have an overactive imagination, Barry.”

He looked back down in the box, grabbed two gift bags, and handed them to Barry and Kara.

While peeking inside the gift bag, Kara asked, “What are these for?”

Damian smirked and said, “To win, we need to show team spirit. I thought a good start of that was having a team uniform.”

Kara and Barry looked down at the gift bags in surprise. Each gift bag had several clothing items: a black shirt with the words “Worlds Finest” with their logos directly underneath it (Supergirl symbol, lightning symbol, and a bat symbol), a baseball hat with the same imagery as the t-shirt, black pants, and black gym shoes.

Barry looked back up at Damian shocked and said, “These are really nice. You didn’t have to go through all this trouble.”

Damian looked down while grabbing his uniform from the box and said, “I know I didn’t have to, but we should go in as a united front if doing this. It will help with morale.”

Barry and Kara turned to look at each other and smirked.

Damian frowned and asked, “What is that look for?”

Kara smiled and said, “It is nice to see that you care is all. This is very sweet of you.”

Damian scowled and said, “It isn’t that big of a deal.”

Barry chuckled and said, “Dude, just take the compliment. I know that I will be wearing this a lot after today.”

Damian looked up surprised and asked, “Really?”

Kara chuckled and said, “Of course. I can’t wait to wear it and show it to Lena later.”

Damian looked down while rubbing the back of his neck and said, “I am glad that you guys like the items.”

Damian cleared his throat and said, “Anyways…” He walked over to his nightstand and grabbed out his laptop while Kara and Barry chuckled among themselves. They enjoyed seeing a little vulnerable side to Damian.

As Damian started typing on his laptop, he turned it towards the duo and said, “I found out that we will be playing in the bat cave. I went out and took photos in order to make a 3d rendering of the space. I thought we can discuss which spaces in the cave would give us the best advantage points.”

Barry raised an eyebrow and asked, “Isn’t this supposed to be just a friendly game between peers?”

Damian scowled and asked, “What rock have you been living under? This is a test to prove myself to Father that I can go back into the field. He is trying to make this extra difficult since he requested the assistance of Arrow and the Amazon princess.”

Barry sighed and asked, “Don’t you think you are being a tad bit overdramatic? The more likely reason why he asked Wonder Woman and Green Arrow here today is because Bruce got tired of being in last place all the time.”

Damian gave Barry a deadpan stare.

Barry rolled his eyes and said, “Fine. If you really think this is some conspiracy of people being out to get you, what do you suggest our course of action is?”

Taxes, Taxes, Taxes- Chapter 25

Fandom: Supergirl

Summary: What if superheroes had to pay a property damage tax every time they had a fight in the city?

Lillian walked into the dining room while carrying the main dish for tonight’s dinner: roasted chicken. She was surprised to see Lena walking around the dining room table like a mad woman adjusting silverware and chairs while Sam and Ruby watched over to the side shaking their heads.

Lillian stopped near Sam and Ruby and said softly, “How long has she been like this?”

Sam said, “She has been like this for about an hour now. Ruby and I offered to help, but Lena swatted our hands away from the table.”

Ruby pouted and said, “She said that everything has to be set right on the table. I’ve helped set the table before.” Ruby turned to her grandmother and said, “I thought you told me I was a good helper with the table last time.”

Lillian smiled while kissing Ruby on the forehead.

“You’re a wonderful helper.”

Ruby looked at Lena pouting and asked, “Then why doesn’t Auntie Lena let me help set the table?”

Lillian stared at Lena for a second fusing over the silverware on the table.

Lillian turned back to Ruby, smiled and said, “Sometimes, people get a little carried away when they are trying to impress someone that they are in love with.”

Ruby looked over at Lena curiously and asked, “Falling in love does that to you?”

Sam chuckled and said, “Sometimes it does.”

Ruby muttered, “Well, I hope that love never does this to me.”

Sam chuckled.

Lillian smirked and said, “I don’t know why you are laughing. You should know better than anyone that love can make us do crazy things. I remember a certain someone having us sit through them trying on thirty outfits before their first date with Lucas Johnson during their senior year of high school.”

Ruby looked up at her mom curiously and asked, “Why did you do all of that?”

Lillian chuckled and said, “She wanted to have the perfect outfit. Even though the majority of the stuff she showed us was a variation of the same look.”

Sam groaned and said, “I thought we agreed to never speak of that again especially after Lucas turned out being such a prick.”

Lillian kissed Sam on the forehead and said, “I am just trying to let Ruby know it is normal to have feelings like this is all.”

Sam pouted and said, “At my expense.”

Lillian smirked and said, “Well, think of it this way, you will have a chance to do the same thing when Ruby has a son or a daughter.”

Sam sighed and said, “I don’t even want to think that far now. Ruby is still my sweet little baby.”

Ruby groaned and said, “I’m not a baby anymore.”

Sam smiled and kissed Ruby’s forehead and said, “You will always be my baby.”

Ruby rolled her eyes. Lillian cackled as she placed the chicken on the table. She then went over to Lena who was still fidgeting with the silverware.

Lillian placed a hand on Lena’s shoulder and said, “You know that we got everything covered. The food is ready and the table is set.”

Lena looked at her pouting and said, “Everything needs to be perfect tonight. There is so much left to do and to add to that, Kara is bringing an extra person.”

Lillian chuckled and pulled Lena in for a hug and said, “You worry too much. We were aware of the extra person coming tonight so there is enough food for everyone. The only thing that is left to do is to place all the food on the table.”

Lena looked at the table and said, “Maybe, I could turn that fork just a little to the left.”

As Lena went down to reach for the fork, Lillian grabbed her hand and started to pull Lena away from the table to the living room.

“Hey!” said Lena said loudly.

Lillian guided them over to the coach and pulled them down.

She turned to Lena with a soft smile and said, “You need to calm down.”

Lena looked at Lillian dumbfounded and exclaimed, “Calm down!” Lena said louder, “Calm down! How can you say that to me? I am meeting her family for the first time. Her only blood relative absolutely hates me with a passion.”

Lena looked down while wringing her hands tighter and asked, “What if the others hate me too?”

Lillian pulled Lena in for a hug and Lena leaned into the embrace. Lillian rubbed soothing circles on Lena’s back.

“I think this has to do with one person in particular.”

Lena sniffed and asked, “Why do you say that?”

Taxes, Taxes, Taxes-Chapter 26

Fandom: Supergirl

Summary: What if superheroes had to pay a property damage tax every time they had a fight in the city?

Lena cuddled up next to Kara on the living room couch. After dinner, Eliza and Alex were the first to leave since Alex was feeling the jet lag hard and wanted to get some sleep. Sam left shortly after them with Ruby opting to stay the night for a sleepover with her grandmother. She was currently changing into pajamas before they sat down to watch a movie. Kara and Lena were going to head out after Sam, but Lillian and Martha wanted to talk to them before leaving. Lena was curious about what it is since neither of the women gave a hint of what they wanted to talk to them separately about during dinner. Before Lena drifted more in her thoughts, Martha and Lillian joined them in the living room with Martha carrying tea and cookies with her.

Kara smiled and said, “You didn’t have to make anything extra for us tonight.”

Martha chuckled and said, “I know dear. I just thought that having these things here would make the conversation go a little more smoother.”

That comment piqued Lena’s interest.

Lena stared at Martha and Lillian quizzically and asked, “Why would you say that?”

Martha and Lillian looked at each other hesitantly before Lillian asked, “Remember when I told you that I am sick of Lex having a chokehold on our collective families?”

Lena narrowed her eyes, frowned and said, “Yes…”

“Well, Martha and I got tired of being bystanders and decided to do some investigating of our own to get Lex out of all of our lives for good and help Clark.”

Lena stared at her mom baffled. Her mom briefly mentioned wanting to get Lex out of their lives but didn’t know she had already tried to do something about it. Lena looked over at Kara who seemed equally as baffled by the situation.

Martha chuckled at their collective shock and said, “I take it by the silence that we took you off guard.”

Kara rubbed the back of her head and said, “I wouldn’t necessarily say off guard.”

Lena looked up hesitantly and said, “I just think we are kind of concerned. Lex only cares about himself. What if he picks up on what you are doing and decides to attack you or worse.”

Lillian grabbed Lena’s hand and rubbed soothing circles around it.

“We took precautions. Mostly, it was a fact-finding mission. Nothing too dangerous at all.”

Kara looked up intrigued and asked, “Were you able to find anything?”

Lillian nodded and said, “Leviathan used to help Lex with funding his different ventures and also providing security. However, he did something to piss them off and they cut ties. Due to that, it allowed me a brief window to get information out of Luthor Corp.” Lillian went to her desk in the living room and pulled out two folders. She went to hand them to Lena and Kara. “Two purchases stood out: Anders & Anders, and Grover & Sons. Grover & Sons sells a variety of drinks ranging from water, wine, energy drinks, soda, juices, and protein shakes. Anders & Anders deal with everything in regards to a child’s development up until the age of five. They advertise that their food and educational tools enhance a child’s performance.”

Lena frowned and said, “Hmmm….”

Kara looked at Lena frowning and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Lena sighed, looked back at Kara thoughtfully and said, “Lex has always been about using tech to make him the ‘Man of Tomorrow’ in the hearts of everyone. These two purchases don’t seem in touch with his goal at least on a surface level.”

Kara raised an eyebrow and asked, “So you think there is more to these purchases than just them being random?”

Lena nodded and said, “Yes. I hate to admit this but Lex has always been a meticulous planner. He never purchased something without it having a purpose that serves him. If he purchased those companies that means they had something he greatly valued.”

Martha nodded and said, “That is what your mother and I thought which is why we met with Amanda Waller earlier today.”

Lena turned to her mother while raising an eyebrow and said, “I thought you and Amanda had a falling out years ago especially after she joined forces with Lex. What makes you think she wouldn’t just expose you to Lex.”

Lillian smirked and said, “Amanda works with Leviathan. She is more loyal to them instead of Lex especially since they said that they would go after anyone that provides them assistance.”

Kara looked up thoughtfully and said, “I really want to know what he did to piss them off.”

“If I had to take a guess, it is Lex’s anti-alien stance that he is running on in the Senate. Leviathan has been supporting pro-alien candidates which is a 180 from what they have done in the past.”

Lena raised an eyebrow and said, “That is curious that they made such a drastic change. I wonder if they have someone new in charge.”

Martha shrugged her shoulder and said, “Whatever the reason, it is working in our favor. Amanda has given us a lead with Anders & Anders that we will be following up on in two weeks.”

Kara frowned and asked, “Why the long wait?”

Lillian said, “Amanda is given us a window of time to get the information we need without Lex noticing what we are doing. Until we have even a hint of what he is up to, I would rather avoid a head on approach.”

Lena nodded and said, “I agree subtlety would be better. Is there anything we can do to help?”

Lillian smiled and said, “Actually yes. We still haven’t figured out why Lex wanted Grover & Sons. The little information that I was able to get from Luthor Corp is that they are trying to alter some of the drinks Grover & Sons produced. The folders have copies of their results but I don’t understand what any of them mean. I was wondering if you could analyze the data and see if it makes since to you.”

Lena smiled and said, “That is something I definitely can do.”

Lillian let out a sigh and said, “Now to the much harder ask.”

Lena frowned and asked, “What does that mean?”

Martha rubbed the back of her neck and said, “Amanda talked about how Lex has done a nuclear option: done something to a loved one of Clark. We haven’t noticed anything odd so we wanted to rule out the possibility that something wasn’t done to our bodies without us knowing.”

Lillian nodded and said, “We think it is best that everyone gets tested: Sam, Ruby, Kara, Lena, Martha, and myself. Part of me is hoping that Amanda is over-exaggerating or even bluffing, but I rather be safe than sorry.”

Lena leaned back and sighed. She wished that she could say that Lex wouldn’t do something that low, but she couldn’t. This was something that was right in his wheelhouse.

Lena said, “I agree. I can have everyone come to the hospital to be tested tomorrow.”

Martha frowned and said, “That is wonderful, but we do have one small problem.”

Kara frowned and asked, “What problem?”

Martha sighed and said, “Clark. He should be tested too. However, you know his stance on hospitals and needles and that was before he started to act beyond unusual. I don’t see getting him to agree to this.”

Kara looked up thoughtfully and said, “I think I know someone in the League who can provide some assistance.”

Martha smiled and said, “That is wonderful. Do you think they would be able to help as soon as possible?”

Kara nodded and said, “I am supposed to see this individual tomorrow for something else. I don’t see them saying no to the request in particular.”

Before Kara could say anything else, Ruby rushed in with her pajamas on and said, “Grandma, I found a movie we can watch on Netflix: Inside Out. Can we watch it now?”

Lillian smiled and said, “Sure dear. Why don’t you turn on the movie on in the TV here and then we can start watching. I already have the tea and cookies ready.”

Ruby sprinted to the TV while shouting, “Yay!”

Lillian chuckled while she turned to Kara and Lena and said, “Would you guys like to stay for the movie too?”

Ruby turned around with pouty lips and round eyes and asked, “Can you stay Auntie Lena and Kara? It would be even better having you here to watch.”

Lena sighed while chuckling and said, “You know I can’t say no to that face.” Lena turned to Kara, gave her a soft smile, and said, “If you need to leave that is fine, although I hope you will stay.”

Kara beamed and said, “Of course I’ll stay. I enjoy getting to spend extra time you you guys.” Kara leaned into Lena closer and whispered in her ear, “Especially you my love.”

Lena blushed while cuddling into Kara more and said, “You always know what the right thing to say.”

Kara leaned back with Lena on the couch as they got ready to watch the movie.

As Kara watched the movie, she thought about her new task of getting Clark tested. Kara wasn’t entirely honest about who she could ask to help with Clark. There were technically four people that she could ask. Most were magic users which Clark would hate her even more given his serious distrust for magic. It just left one person that she could ask. Kara sighed. She knew the she and the person in question on going to have their work cut off for them.

I smell a ruse coming on.
