#clem barks

[doginthevoid]

To me, being a therian is being a weird little girl stealing off into the forest, making potions, running on all fours, getting in trouble for getting your clothes dirty, getting sap in your fingers and twigs in your hair.

To me, it’s screaming, it’s screaming when you’re told you’re supposed to shave your body hair, screaming when you’re told to play nice, screaming when it’s dark, when you can feel the moon and the shadows and spirits all around you, wishing you could join them.

To me, it’s learning a human is an animal too, and suddenly it makes sense, but nobody else seems relieved by the news, and you can feel it chewing at your seams, and you can feel your blood and your heart and your hands and you forget how to hold yourself.

It’s hiding and it’s screaming and it’s biting and every moment I am alive I become more entangled and it becomes clearer on my skin.

[spacedlexi]

so often i see people try to downplay violet and minervas relationship like it wasnt Real enough or was some Inferior Romance that her relationship with clementine could Never compare to, and i find it so annoying and boring

she LOVED minerva!! and its okay that she did!! she was her first love!! childhood best friends turned girlfriends!! seeing her being so heartbroken and miserable about what happened to minnie, how deeply and desperately she missed her, hugging that bed frame so pathetically. but clementine makes her CARE again. makes her LOVE again. slowly violet becomes comfortable with the idea of opening her heart up to people again, after trying so hard not to because the pain of losing people she cared about was too much to bear (especially when she blamed herself for them being gone)

then she learns minnie didnt die. shes falling in love with clem while grappling with the fact that minnie might still be out there??

then she meets minnie in the woods. but minnie has changed just like she has. theyre both different people now. and slowly violet is forced to come to terms with the fact that the person she loved so deeply isnt that person anymore??

violet at the beginning mourning minerva and blaming herself, to shooting her to save clems life. she LOVED minerva once, but she doesnt like the person she is now. and shes not gonna let her hurt anyone else she cares about. shes done mourning her by the time they get to the bridge, only crying out for tenn

like idk i just find their relationship evolution to be so interesting and sad as shit. the fact that they once loved each other so much and it has now come to this?? but violet makes her choice and she Chooses clementine, because she admires and loves clementine, probably similar to the way she used to admire and love minerva if the way she talked about her is any indication

i just think "i never thought i would ever feel this way again" is way more interesting than "wow minnie Never made me feel like This"

every day i turn on the ps4 just to then sit there on my phone listening to the homescreen music for 3 hours and not play anything and then go to bed

Gimme 68

68 | The Garden - The Crane Wives

Okay this one is embarassing SIIIIGH im a fork in the kitchen fork in the kitchen……. I actually have very little to say on this one, I dont even remember when I started listening to it? its a good song I just have NOTHING to say… does anyone want to talk about divine loser by clem turner instead

[twdg-and-stuff]

hi!! could you do reader formerly apart of the motel group that was presumed dead (maybe lost in the bandit raid?) settling in at ericsons’s eventually a few years after and reuniting with clem in s4? it’s random and oddly specific but I hope you find it interesting enough to pursue! thanks :)

A/N: Hello!! I’d be happy to, I hope you like it!:) This kinda reminded me of Michonne and Jocelyn in TWD (minus the kidnapping kids part…) because I was rewatching S9 lol

Warnings: Assumption of death, Usual TWDG stuff

Clementine x Reader

If she was being honest, Clementine had completely forgotten about you. Maybe not completely, if someone randomly said your name she’d remember-but still, not a lot. You were a memory she’d shoved in the back of her head, forgotten but still there. She thought you’d died a long time ago.

You on the other hand, never stopped thinking a bout her. Not just Clementine, but the whole group. You forgot some people’s names, but remembered Clem’s because of how unique it was.

You’d been through countless groups since then, most had either died or just split up slowly. You made many friends along the way but none you remembered as well as Clementine.

One day, Clem was playing war with Louis and Violet.

“Alright, I get to ask Clem now.” Louis said.

He coughed before speaking.

“Someone you remember from an old group?”

Clem thought about it for a bit. They all knew about Lee, Kenny, and now obviously Lilly. She kept thinking, almost like sifting through files in her mind. She’d told them stories about basically everybody-then she remembered you.

“Hm, well there was this person in my first group. They were my friend. I miss them, they died during a raid from bandits that I told you guys about earlier.”

The table went silent.

Then, it was broken by yelling. Rosie began barking.

The three shot up and ran towards the gate.

Clem could make out 3 shadows. Two of which she knew was Aasim and Mitch. The other stood hunkered down between the two.

“We found Them Right outside the old safe zone.”

Clem walked farther towards them.

Her eyes widened when she realized.

It was you.

“Y/N?”

“Clementine?”

You both ran to hug each other, memories instantly flooding back.

“I thought you were dead.”

“I thought you were, too.”

The high of seeing an old friend quickly warned off when you both noticed your best friends, parental figures even, weren’t with either of you. You both assumed the worst.

-

You and Clem spent hours that night catching up.

Clem told you about Christa and Omid, The cabin group, Carver, Arvo, The new frontier, Javi and Gabe, Finding A.J.

You told her about the groups and people you’d met, bad people you’d run into before, anything you could remember.

Clementine was happy to have you back. To have someone who understood the first few months of the apocalypse for her was like.

🔥 The Slytherin Common Room Chaos (SCRC)

Staring: @kiwiplaetzchen as Nosy the Niffler, @adallegra as Clementine the Golden Retriever, @ask-wren-zhang (@wrenegade-accio) as Wren Zhang, @ask-sebastian as Sebastian Sallow, @olivierdumont as Olivier Dumont, @ask-elland-n-will as William Abbot.

Time: afternoon. Location: inside and outside of the S. common room. Turn: We are done! Last updated: 11.08.2023

This chaos might be over, but the CHAOS is never over 🔥

Main Thread Summary

Clementine (Allegra's temporary forster dog) comes into Sebastian's dorm room, wakes up Nosy (Seb's niffler). They have fun, Nosy launches himself at Clem, rides her. Clem jumps all over the bed, Nosy's trinkets scatter all over. They dash all over the room making a huge mess. A curtain is torn down from one of the beds and it falls onto the heater in the center of the room, catching on fire. Clem smells the smoke and runs out of the room, barking to attract attention, Nosy on her back. Art by wrenegade-accio.

Side thread break

Outside of the common room. A student runs past Sebastian and Olivier screaming "Fire!" Olivier asks Seb if he should do something about it. Sebastian looks in the direction of the SCR door: "I could always check, I suppose." Both are still outside.

Main thread

Wren uses Bombarda to blow up a hole in the SCR wall. She is determined to save Clementine and gets in even if she's a Ravenclaw. Art by wrenegade-accio [x, x]. Will wakes up smelling the smoke, his room next to Seb's. Checks it, and douses the fire. Follows the barks since he's a prefect and needs to sort this out. Watches the wall blow up in his face. Clementine tried to shield Nosy, then sniffed Wren and jumped at Sebastian happily. Nosy runs out of the common room and jumps onto Olivier. Steals his Fizzing Whizzbees and eats the entire pack! Wren checks on Clem, wants to fix the wall and then notices Will. As a prefect he tells other students to leave, deducts points from Ravenclaw for being in a wrong common room, tells Wren he can hide the situation from the teachers to help her avoid detention if she agrees to owe him a favour. They fix the wall, Wren asks what it is Will wants from her. She will decide later if she wants to do what Will asked her to do. Olivier doesn't let the niffler fly away, carries him in his arms and gives Nosy belly rubs until Nosy dozes off, no longer flying. All is well!

What are some of your favorite Clouis moments?

hey ty for your ask! :D

oof, that's a tough one bc i absolutely adore all the Clouis moments, they all just, give me life y'know? but okay, let's do thisss. (not going to rank them bc i just can't, i love em all even between my favorites hahaha)

Their Meeting: I MEAN, this is literally one of the most important moments because, duh, they're meeting each other; but the way it was done was simply perfection. It's just, there's so much chemistry since the very first moment they talk to each other, their conversation just flows so naturally and YOU KNOW IT'S LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. Their little harmless challenging that almost feels like flirting, the LOOKS, when he sings for her, the precious moment the three of them share when AJ presses the piano key, it's just all so good. (the whole scene just shines, and the context behind it is also important, because he was the one distracting AJ, most likely he volunteered to it).

Hunting with Louis and Aasim: COME ON, THE NINJA DIALOGUE THAT HAS A COMEBACK LATER AT EPISODE 4 BEFORE THEIR THIRD KISS, PLEASE. Clementine allowing herself to be silly and AJ doing it too, and Aasim exasperated? I love it. also, THEIR WHOLE FLIRTING WHEN PLAYING WITH THE WALKER, OH MY GOD. I love it I love it I LOVE IT, did i said i love it yet? because i do. a lot. also, that little moment of vulnerability both of them share after they're done with their game? like, they let each other in for a brief moment before closing again, but that meant something.

APPEAL TO LOUIS: GOD I JUST CAN'T BE CALM IN THIS MOMENT, HELP. IT ALWAYS GETS TO ME. like, the whole scene in general, since leaving the basement and seeing all the kids reunited in the yard, the whole atmosphere, the rain, Rosie barking, the yelling. it all adds to the scene and it's brilliant. when you appeal to Louis he's hesitant, obviously, this is a girl he's known for 2 days, asking him to trust her, before his best friend. it's hard, and we can see Marlon has this power on him and honestly, that's not good, nor healthy. but Clementine is just so worthy of his trust he just goes stands between her and a fucking gun now aimed at his head. but this is marvelously done, because the scene wants you to believe you made a mistake, that Louis isn't gonna help you. we see Marlon adjusting the gun, aiming with more angry and mad determination, Clementine closes her eyes almost waiting for the death.. and then Louis walks into frame and stands in front of her, with a look that just, God, the look he has in that moment. he begs Marlon to put down the gun, and it's just such an amazing moment.

Their talk in Clem's room: I'm talking about the one after AJ gets shot, when he brings new shirts for the kid. I don't know how exactly describe what this scene makes me feel, like, they're talking seriously, there's an enormous tension between them, Marlon's death is just fresh for some hours, and Louis is grieving. i don't know, this scene it's just so angsty and tbh i love it because it's realistic, he's not gonna forgive them right away, but he feels guilty about AJ getting shot, and at this point he obviously have feelings for Clem too, but again, he's grieving and blaming them and it's just a chaos in his head. but he thought of them, he went out of his way to search for Tenn's old clothes to give them to AJ. but dude, my favorite part? “Louis? I really missed you”. a moment of brief silence, and then “i missed you, too” and then leaves. my heart.

Practicing archery, and apologizing: Man man man man man man MAN, I love this moment. Louis is apologizing to Clementine, he admit he was wrong about voting against them, voting for them to leave. he just didn't knew what else to do, he was hurt and grieving, he just wanted it to stop, and didn't knew exactly what to do. but he doesn't excuses himself, he apologizes sincerely, and Clem can see that, so she forgives him. now they're in good terms again, and THEY FLIRT. IT'S ADORABLE. i especially love that when you're practicing and keep failing, their convo goes like:

L: “okay, during the fight, ask all the raiders to stand still about a foot away from you”

C: “i wasn't that bad” (and Louis just gives her the funniest seriously? look) “fine, i need some practice”

L: “told you you couldn't be worse than me. good news, we're the worst together”

and then when he says “thank you, for all of it” WITH THAT SOFT LOOK NGHSH MY HEART. BUT BUT BUUUT, a little underrated moment just after that, when you keep talking to him after that, in the second and final try, their conversation goes:

L: need something?

C: just checking in.

L: no big changes, i didn't become a master in your brief absence.

C: I'm shocked.

THEIR SMILES?? THEIR CHEMISTRY?? I can't, I'm in love with them.

First kiss, piano scene: come on guys, y'all knew this couldn't be missed. everything about this scene gets to me, how when Clem stays quiet Louis reassures her and tells her he's there for her, and she gives him a little smile. or when she says she can't give up, he says that if she won't, he definitely can't. then they get to the piano, and one of the most romantic and magical scenes I've seen ever plays out.

they start to tune the piano, and Louis makes his little joke about blowing on the strings, and tbh i love when Clem tells him she can't believe she fell for that, but not in a serious, annoyed tone, no, she's having fun, and Louis loves that, because he gets all shy and says “it's good to see you like this”.

now onto the real shit. he finally opens up entirely to her, shares his insecurities, how he feels, and that she's the only one that has actually bothered to try and see the real him, past the jokes and the piano. we finally see how they allow each other to be vulnerable. Clementine confesses her own feelings and Louis can't believe it, and when it sinks, he's all excited and names his song after her. and finally, THEY KISS. AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL, AND I LOVE IT. THE SMILES THEY GIVE AFTER, IT'S JUST SO CUTE. (i do wanna give an honorific mention to one dialogue that you can pick instead of the kiss, because the "you're such a weirdo" "yeah, but apparently you dig that, so who's the real weirdo here? it's both of us" it's adorable as hell).

Hand holding and soft looks: Quick little moment at the start of ep3, when Louis takes Clem's hand and gives her a soft look and a soft smile, as well as a little nod. and she looks back at him with a soft look and soft smile of her own, and i don't think I've seen such a soft and adorable look on Clem's face.

The date: their first official date. this scene tells you a lot about Louis, starting from the obvious like how he took enough time to think about it to search and read some magazines for advice, to most serious stuff like Louis' self esteem and confidence issues. even after everything that has happened between them, even if they're in a official, romantic relationship, he can't process or even accept the fact that Clementine was willing to save him, voluntarily. he needs to know, because the guilt is also eating him alive. and when Clem tells him she saved him because he's important to her? i mean, just look at him. he's shocked, like, again, he can't believe someone actually cares for him. it's truly depressive to think about, and seeing how the other kids treat him most of the time, I'm not even surprised. he immediately redirects the subject, and when Clementine assures him they're gonna get their friends back, he finally smiles and reveals what he actually went to.

he offers to have a date, she accepts, and they're adorable. i must say, my favorite dialogue choice for the date when Louis asks what 'her thing' is, is saying brawn. just because i think it's funny how Louis pretends to tighten his 'muscles' and winks at her and oh my God. I'm in love. and she just chuckles and it's adorable.

then they have a toast, stand up, and share a little but not less adorable moment where they just stare at each other, with soft looks, no words needed. it's like it's just the two of them alone in the world for a little time. that's before AJ rushes in and interrupts them, of course.

Hootenanny: I need to say, it's not an specific moment but a bunch of lines, looks, little moments between them here. the amount of looks Clementine and Louis give each other during the whole thing it's insane lmao, they're so in love. when Ruby asks Clem about the music and she chooses classic, Louis says “ah, a woman after my own heart” THEY'RE SO CUTE. again, THE LOOKS, THE LOOKS. also, Clementine both sees and hears Louis and AJ bonding and it's heartwarming.

wanted to highlight the ‘Don't be afraid’ scene because it's emotional and adorable.

Calm before the storm: Y'know, when all the kids are preparing and almost ready to get into the Delta ship and meet James, bla bla bla. the important here: Clem looks around for Louis and she finally spots him, away from the rest and alone, contemplating the boat. Clem gets close and Louis shares his worries, about how he doesn't wanna screw up and fears for her safety because he's used to "fucking up", and even when Clementine tries to reassure him, he's still not sure and asks her to slap him. obviously, we're not abusive so we don't do that, and since we can't hug him and tell him it's all gonna be okay, we're gonna smooch him bc we love our boyfriend and we gotta let him now we're here for them somehow. then he's all flustered and Clem's smiling and they're cute until AJ interrupts again but I love it because it's hilarious. "you'll learn when you're older" Louis is obviously finding it funny while now Clem's the flustered one and she's like, look to the other direction and I'm laughing.

They're alive: After the Delta explodes and they finally reunite with each other and they're glad they're safe. I love that Clem can hug him and tell him how happy she is to see him, and viceversa. but i also wanna highlight how she can make a callback to one of his line with the "and THAT'S how you school a walker” simply because it let us know she listens to him and remember even a little, funny line he said 2 weeks ago. also love how she says it and what he answers.

little jump to after they get Violet, when all the kids are reunited behind some boxes and Clementine tells them to run to Willy and Ruby while she kills the walkers. you can see Louis' worried and scared face, for her. then, when they're all leaving, Louis is the last one and it goes like this

L: right behind me?

C: yup, just like the ninja i am.

L: the ninjas we are.

and then he kisses her, tells her to be careful, and goes after the others, and they look at each other with worrying faces, and i just love all of this.

Reunion and family hug: Clementine, AJ and Tenn get out of the cave to start and try to look for a way back to the school when they hear a noise, just to find Louis there. AJ runs to him and hugs him tight, while Clementine watcha with fondness before joining in. then Louis makes a callback to the very first sentence he said to her, and she remembers it because she shakes her head with a knowing smile. then one of the cutest moments between these two, when he tells her they're all back at the school she brings up the fact that he went to look for them. he takes her hands and the exchange goes like:

“thought i lost you”

“only for a minute”

“longest damn minute of my life”

like??? they love each other so much already???? and some people dare to say they don't have chemistry, pfft.

Their new home and a bright future: It continues right after the last moment, but it deserves a spot of it's own. Everything about this scene it's just brilliant, from Clementine trying to ease his worries and guilt about killing Dorian, to him bringing up the house his parents were building before their divorce. this single thought brought Clementine and then Louis to think about their dreamhome, and everything about that conversation is beautiful, because it's them sharing their mutual hope of a future, of being together and feeling at home.

Trust and love: To finally end this, their last moment. We see Clementine and Louis looking at the map, planning their next move since a caravan has been spotted close their grounds. Clementine trusts Louis with this mission, and Louis is willing. they both have come a long way, and they've developed a lot since the start of the season, and you can see that. Louis asks AJ to join him, he forgives him about Tenn, and they're in good terms again. finally, Clementine practically begs him to stay safe, to what Louis smiles at her and gives her a kiss in the cheek. and I die. they're adorable.

oh my God, i think i went a bit over board with this,,, just a bit,,,

anyway, I'm sorry that instead of just answering simply with my favorite clouis moments i made a whole ass essay to each one of them, Clouis just makes me like that y'know

thank you again for the ask :D

[kiwiplaetzchen]

For once, Allegra found herself with Clementine on a tight leash as they meandered up the path from Hogsmeade back to the castle. Clem had left her no choice. As soon as they left the village, she dashed straight for the murder of crows scattered across a field of pumpkins, causing a flurry of wings and indignant cawing as she gleefully chased them through the fields again and again.

Had it not been for the wrapped-up pasty tucked in her robe pocket, Allegra doubted she could have managed to recall the retriever; she had already resorted to frantic clapping and high-pitched calls. Thankfully, Clementine was cooperative as she munched on the bit of pasty, remaining in place as Allegra secured the leash, though her eyes betrayed her vivacious energy. At least the burst of energy would help Clem settle down in the castle, Allegra thought to herself hopefully. Less chance of chaos.

That hope was immediately banished, however, when mere moments after crossing the gates into the castle, Clem’s head snapped towards the West Tower.

“What-“ Allegra barely had time to utter before Clementine lunged in that direction, the witch letting out an uncharacteristic expletive as she was pulled at breakneck speed across the lawn. “Clementine!”

Her furry friend did not stop until she had dragged them all the way to the Beasts classroom, where bags were haphazardly thrown and left unattended at the desks, the students presumably off in the Forest tending to some sort of creature.

Clementine barked once, happily, as Allegra was hunched over, trying to catch her breath. She looked up. It was Nosy, his little furry face buried in one of the leather bags, his fluffy tail wagging in the air as he rummaged through its contents. Allegra squinted. The bag seemed oddly familiar.

She allowed Clem to lead them over, watching as the dog immediately nuzzled her nose against the niffler’s side and greeted him with a whine. “Nosy?” Allegra asked, tilting her head in curiosity. Up close, she recognised to whom the bag belonged. She held back a laugh as Nosy resurfaced from its depths with his paws clutched around a shiny prefect’s badge.

Clementine joyfully barked again and wasted no time covering Nosy in slobbery kisses. Allegra smiled despite the warning bells that went off in the back of her mind at the sight of the two of them together. She broke off another bit of pasty from her pocket and extended it to Nosy, giving him a tickle under the chin. “Well, I hope you’re having a grand day now that you’ve found what you’re looking for.”

Nosy wiggled his fluffy bum in excitement as he rummaged through the bag, his tiny paws eagerly searching for something shiny and sparkly that might have been left behind. Oh, what treasures could be hidden inside! And then, there it was! The prefect's badge, gleaming in all its glory!

The little Niffler flinched as he heard somebody call his name. Did he get caught?! Hestitantly looking up, the teal-furred rascal squinted his eyes, ready to dash away from the crime scene, but as soon as he saw Allegra and Clementine standing there, his eyes began to twinkle, and his little face lit up with joy (and relief). 

Honking happily, he greeted Clem back, revelling in her slobbery kisses that covered him from head to toe. It had been far too long since they last saw each other, and the little scoundrel couldn't hold back his joy at being reunited with his furry friend. Nosy lovingly rubbed his forehead against Clementine's, returning her affection with equal enthusiasm. 

The Niffler's attention then wandered over to the smiling Slytherin girl. Waddling towards her, he looked up at Allegra and let out a cheeky squeak, proudly showing off the shiny badge he had found. Nosy clearly deserved some praise for that. Or a reward. Or both!

The little menace's heart should not be disappointed. Delighted by the piece of biscuit the Slytherin gave him, Nosy honked in excitement and devoured it in mere seconds. This was a very good day! Very nice!

Feeling satisfied with his accomplishment, Nosy carefully shoved the badge inside his pouch, making sure not to lose his treasure. Without hesitation and uncontainable excitement, the Niffler leaped into the air, landing squarely on the back of his canine friend like a tiny backpack.

His paws gripped onto her sleek fur withe ease as he crawled up to perch on top of Clem's head. Letting out a gleeful honk, Nosy enjoyed the free lift back to the Slytherin common room.

I physically need to know who was your gay awakening -🪅

I LOVE THIS QUESTION OMG OMG OK

but we gonna have to break this down into like a list cus this has LAYERSS i didn’t really know my label and i still don’t (not that you need a label…i jus know that imma sapphic and maybe guys are fine ig😒😒) BUT OETS BEGIN

1. the childhood hints that shoulda been known.

the way i should’ve known that i was gonna be a fem lady kisser when i was watching team umizumi/yogabagaba and wanted to be milli and foofa likeeee cmon now

and then watching total drama island and other cartoons and didn’t know if i wanted to be OR BE WITH shego, marceline, azula and korra, damn near every witch in winx esp darcy, THAT ONE GIRL FROM WANDER OVER YANDER omg and when i started getting into stuff like dc and marvel cus of my dad w catwoman and harley quinn 😧😧 don’t get me started

but when i started getting my grimey hands on video games? bro mk9 changed my brain chemistry like scarlet coulda taken my blood anytime bro fuck pcos🤭🤭 and taht doesn’t even compare to the absolute menace i became when they made cassie and gave her an undercut like YOOOOOO but really i think my VERY first gay awakening was when i would be like 5 years old taking my moms phone and picking camie to play on street fighter cus her body was tea AND THE MUSCLES THE ABS JUST- BARL BARK BARK BARK anyways..

[doginthevoid]

To those new to the therian community (& the otherkin/alterhuman community as a whole, honestly), if you're trying to figure out your kintype and you're struggling I have an insider secret for you.

Just pick one. Just pick a label that feels good enough and run with it. Nobody is gunna challenge you and ask you, well how do you KNOW? and if they do, they're a fuckin weirdo and you can tell em to fuck off. You don't need to be 100% sure. You can actually just do what you want, forever. Maybe you'll realize it isnt for you and move on. Maybe you won't. Fuck it

[adallegra]

You're walking across the grounds when you suddenly hear barking behind you. You turn around to see:

The barking confuses Allegra. It’s clear it wasn’t Clem, whose barks were much louder and deeper. Her eyes widen at the sight of the puppy clumsily face-planting itself onto the leaves, and she gasps, rushing over to pick him up.

“Oh, you poor thing.” She can’t help it. Just looking into the puppy’s endearing eyes alone melts her heart, and she lights up, her nose scrunching in amusement at the lone leaf stuck in the puppy’s fur behind his ear. She gently removes it, giving him a little scratch as she does so.

Adjusting the puppy in her arms and with a warm smile that seems to be permanent in the presence of this little one, she playfully taps his nose and draws him even closer. “Right, you can stay with Clem and me while we figure out where you come from.”

*It’s only her second visit to Hogwarts. Still, with tail wagging happily, Clementine patters up to each student in the Slytherin Common Room to greet them, her minder momentarily distracted in conversation with a classmate. The golden retriever lifts her head and sniffs the air; her niffler friend’s scent is absent. She briefly wonders where he is before her attention quickly shifts, and her ears prick at the lively yaps and yelps spilling from a nearby room — one she knows all too well.

She bounds up the stairs, ears flopping as she does so, and pushes the door open into Sebastian’s room. Clementine lets out a loud bark in greeting when she sees him — and with two puppy friends! With uncontainable joy, she leaps onto Sebastian’s bed and showers him and the puppies with affectionate, slobbery kisses, fluffy tail swishing enthusiastically. Satisfied with the amount of love she’s spread, she settles on the bed, head between her front paws and looks up at Sebastian with a soft, sad whine as if to ask where Nosy is.*

"Clem!!!!"

Sebastian let out a whoop of laughter and threw his arms open wide as he happily caught the bounding ball of fluff hurtling towards him. He lovingly squished her face in his hands and immediately spoilt her with ear scratches and belly rubs, murmuring sweet words of affection all the while. With one last hug from Sebastian, she settled on the bed. Despite the joy of the puppies still clamouring over him, he frowned at Clementine's plaintive whine.

"Oh, you must be looking for Nosy," Sebastian said as realisation dawned. The pair had fostered an unlikely bond, and his mind wandered back to the chaos of previous meeting between hound and niffler. He grimaced at the memory. Black had been on the verge of forcing him to give up Nosy as a result of the near-total destruction of the Slytherin common room, and Sebastian expected it would be incredibly difficult to smooth-talk his way out of trouble with the Headmaster a second time.

"Tell you what?" Sebastian extracted himself from the puppy pile and stood, playfully patting his knees as he addressed his furry audience. "Who wants to go outside? There are some magnificent leaf piles begging to be demolished by furry little wrecking balls."

He gave Clem another pat on the head. "We'll look for Nosy on the way, hm?"

conversations over tea (IX)

previous part

~~~~~

No piano this afternoon, or even a walk in the gardens despite the lovely weather they were having in the Capitol today. Rather Clemensia took one look at the divan in the drawing room and settled onto it. Within seconds, her eyes began to droop. 

Never had she thought that Sirius would miss Pup so much once he’d returned to patrolling the waters of District 4. But he had, and he was very vocal in expressing it. All night long with his pacing and whining outside her bedroom. 

She was on Day 3 of said changes and last night, she’d kept her bedroom door open – hoping Sirius would be reassured that she was still here. There was less whining, but it’d still been very hard to fall asleep. 

Hopefully Coriolanus would be tied up with work today and she could nap a little longer…

`

Clemensia wasn't sure how much time had passed, but however much it was, it wasn’t enough.

“What happened to you?” asks Coriolanus, upon seeing her half-asleep on the divan. 

“Sirius,” she says, muffling a yawn. “He’s been miserable these past nights since Pup left the Capitol. He’s kept me up all night with his crying and I’ve had to let him sleep in my room.”

“Sirius?” he echoed. “Like a child?”

“I guess.”

`

Coriolanus looked baffled by her answer. “What do you mean, ‘you guess’? Is he yours or not?”

Right…they were supposed to put her name on the adoption papers. “Legally, not yet. Maybe after the next time Pup is in the Capitol.”

He only looked more and more confused. And perhaps a little concerned. 

`

Just then a knock sounded on the door. A nervous looking maid entered. “President Snow,” she says, looking ready to cry. Clemensia wondered if the maid had been nominated to be the bearer of bad news or something. 

“What is it?” asks Coriolanus wearily when the maid was unable to get her point across. 

“Sir…there’s an issue at the front gates. And security is wondering how they should proceed.”

At that, he snapped to attention. “An issue?”

`

“Yes, there’s a–” She seemed ready to burst into tears. 

“A what?”

“A dog and he’s…” 

`

The words began to spill out of the maid, faster and faster, about the dog who’d appeared in front of the mansion’s policed gates since Clemensia arrived at the mansion. One that they couldn’t chase off and was continuously barking outside. 

They were hesitant to use brute force, considering the dog didn’t look like a stray with how well-groomed he was and the shiny collar around his neck. 

And just as she finished, another maid appeared and informed Clemensia that they’d gotten a call from Janus – the dogwalker she’d hired – that Sirius was missing. 

`

Combined with the description the first maid had given Coriolanus about the dog, Clemensia knew where her missing dog was exactly. “Where is he?” she says, standing up. “I’ll go see to him.”

“Clem?”

`

“Sirius seems to fancy himself a bit of an escape artist these days.”

“Hold on, Sirius is a dog?”

Clemensia gave him a strange look. “What else would he be?”

~~~~

They sit in the garden – Coriolanus’ suggestion – nowhere the roses of course, but on a grassy lawn where a table and a pair of chairs have been hastily set up for them to sit and converse. 

Sirius is having the time of his life running around, he might be hunting squirrels while Clemensia sips at her coffee. She needs caffeine, if she is to be a functional participant in this conversation, and elected to ignore Coriolanus’ teasing that it was hardly coffee with how much cream she’d added into it. 

`

Curiously, she wondered what was in Sirius’ mouth as he bounded in their direction.

A large stick was left in front of Clemensia, and it didn’t take much to realize what he wanted. After fetching and chasing after the stick a few times, Sirius must have decided that Coriolanus was being left out or something because he eventually dropped the stick at his feet. 

`

Coriolanus eyed the saliva on the stick like it was poison. 

It took every ounce of self-restraint in Clemensia to not outright laugh at the look of disgust on his face as he picked up the stick and threw it far away from him.

Too bad Sirius ran back with the stick within minutes, clearly delighted by how far Coriolanus had thrown it.  

This time, she let the snicker escape. 

~~~~

As the months pass, while Sirius has proven that he’ll listen to Clemensia without too much of a fuss, he is a clever dog, he knows who he can take advantage of to get things going his way. 

Like how Janus was terrible at dog-watching. About a month in, she’d stopped hiring the man to take Sirius out on walks during Saturday afternoons because Sirius consistently outran the man and escaped to make his way to the presidential mansion. 

`

Instead, she now spent her Saturday mornings at a dog-friendly park and let Sirius go wild, hoping to tire him out prior to her weekly standing appointment with Coriolanus.

Sirius is a bit of a hunter. If not a menace to the local unsuspecting bird population. Since her visits to the park, she has seen her dog pounce on a handful of birds and bring it back to her like it was a trophy. It’s a work-in-progress – she is trying to stop him from doing that as often.

Today, she idly wonders if this is an improvement. Instead of a dead bird, Sirius gently drops a baby rabbit in front of her. Where he had found the poor thing, Clemensia had little idea, but at least it was still alive and looked visibly unharmed. 

~~~~~

Her birthday comes and goes – Pup was still out patrolling the waters of district 4, though he manages to send some birthday wishes through a phone call and send in a lovely gift. He sends her piano sheet music, a physical copy of Chopin’s nocturnes, knowing her preference of turning pages to playing off a tablet as was more commonplace nowadays with how technology had improved. 

Clemensia likes to think that she’d chosen well – they might not be marrying for love, but at least they had an amicable friendship with one another. 

`

A stunning pair of earrings also comes her way. This one, she recognizes from Lavinium, a pair she’d been admiring for quite some time, but hadn’t bought for herself. Coriolanus had attached a note to it, addressing the gift as to his dearest friend. It was rather sweet. 

Many compliments had been passed her way when she wore them out and about. 

~~~~

In fact, those are the earrings that she’s wearing when Pup is finally back in the Capitol, they’re on their way out to meet up with her uncle when they bump into Invidia. 

“Was it just me, or did she seem oddly hostile to you?” asks Pup once Invidia had turned the corner. 

“A little.” But Clemensia couldn’t come up with the reason why. She hadn’t talked to the socialite since…well since the last time Pup was in the Capitol. So maybe for quite a few months. 

“Right?”

“Maybe she was having a bad day?”

He shrugged. “Maybe. Or maybe she was jealous that she didn’t own your earrings. She did look rather envious when she saw them.”

`

Luncheon with her uncle is a pleasant affair, if not a little embarrassing. Uncle Aurelius spends far too much of it talking about Clemensia’s achievements ��

“Uncle Aurelius, please–”

“What? Can’t I be proud of my hardworking niece?”

“Thankfully Pup seems more amused than annoyed. “Come on, Clem, I think it’s sort of sweet. Let your uncle brag a little.”

“See? Thank you.”

`

“Not you too,” she complains half-heartedly. “Aren’t you supposed to be on my side?”

Pup elected to ignore that and cheekily added, “Did she tell you about how she had President Snow purchase from Lavinium?”

“You remembered?”

“You only spent the two letters and 3 phone calls telling me how you were worried that it wouldn’t be perfect,” he reminds her. 

`

As their luncheon comes to a close, Uncle Aurelius brings up the real reason he’d ask her and Pup out to meet today. “I know it’s still early, and you might not have a dress or anything in mind yet. But I was hoping you’d give me the honour of designing your jewelry for the wedding, Clemensia.”

Touched by the request, she found it hard to voice out her thoughts. 

“I’m fine with it so long as Clemensia is,” Pup says, squeezing her hand gently under the table to remind her to say something. 

`

“Uncle,” she breathes out. “I don’t know what to say.” It was a generous offer – to have the director of Lavinium personally design for her? 

“I’d designed the jewelry for my sister– your mother’s wedding,” rambles Uncle Aurelius, a little nervous. “And though I know it’s early for this, there’s no pressure on you to accept right now. It’s just that I think of you as one of my own as well and…” 

Oh. Oh. 

`

Upon realizing how that could be interpreted, he hastily adds, “not that I wish to diminish your father’s importance or anything. It’s just that I don’t have any children and–”

“Uncle,” she interrupts. “I understand and I’d be honoured if you did design my jewelry for the wedding. Truly.” 

`

The smile on his face is blinding. “Have I ever told you that you’re my favourite niece?”

“Uncle Aurelius, I’m your only niece.”

“Which makes it even easier to pick a favourite,” says the man without missing a beat. 

A snort of laughter escaped Pup.

Part 3

Warnings: Spoilers for season 3 and season 4

I don't know where the door is.'

They let out a sigh. How the fuck can you get lost inside a school. They guess only they are that stupid. Hearing some taping they turned around and saw Rosie.

They crouched down, extending their hand to her.

"Hey girl." They cooed.

Rosie slowly came up to them and sniffed their hand, barking after it.

Carefully reaching their hand to her head they started petting her.

Rosie pushed her head more into their palm.

They chuckled. "You're adorable."

Slowly standing up they look around and then back at Rosie.

"Think you can help me find a way out?" Rosie barks as if she understood and starts walking down the hall.

(Name) follows her and surely they find the door. They shake their head and go outside.

The cool autumn air made them shiver immediately. Putting their hands in their pocket, they walked up to a bench and sat down, looking at Rosie who was running around the yard. They have never been a fan of socializing. One or two people were okay, but seven?

You need to be mentally prepared for that. And a pretty girl like Clementine wasn't helping one bit.

They felt something nudge their leg.

Rosie was looking up at them, carrying a rope toy in her mouth.

"Wanna play?" (Name) stood up and took the toy from Rosie.

They throw it across the yard as far as they can "Go get it girl!"

They kept playing with Rosie. Having a dog of their own when they were little, they missed it. In 9 years they never once encountered a dog. So this was nice.

"Hey (Name)!" They looked for the source of the voice.

It was Omar, they guessed since he was the only one they haven't met.

He was standing in front of the main door. "It's dinner time!"

"Coming!" They yelled back.

Rosie came up to them, again with the toy in her mouth.

They gave her a short pat "Sorry Rosie, we can play tomorrow. Let's go eat now."

With Rosie walking close by them, they entered the school and followed Omar.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

(Name) tuned out most of the conversation. It was mostly about David's time in the army or Javiers baseball career. Nothing they haven't heard before.

"So (Name)." They look up at Louis.

They swallowed "Yeah?"

"We know about everyone else from Clem's stories but we don't know anything about you. Why don't you tell us a bit about yourself."

They looked around.

"Is...Is this like elementary school when we have to introduce ourselves?"

Louis nodded "Pretty much."

They hesitated a bit but hey why not.

"Okay. Um. Hi. I'm (Name) (Last name). I'm 18 years old. I come from Atlanta, Georgia. My hobbies are annoying Gabe and sleeping."

Ruby looked at Clementine "Hey didn't you say you used to live in Atlanta?"

She nodded.

"Oh shit really?" They asked surprised. "Damn, the coincidence." Says Violet.

Louis groaned "That's lame. Tell us more like, about your past. Before the walkers."

(Name) shrugged "There isn't much to tell. I went to school. Played with my best friend. Did homework and such."

Ruby joined in "What was your friend's name?"

They looked down at their food. Good question. What was their name?

"I...I don't remember. I mean I have a memory of a goldfish so."

"Geez. Sorry that I asked." Ruby says.

They shook their head "No no it's okay. Don't worry 'bout it. It's nothing serious."

That awkward silence came back. Until AJ broke it.

"Maybe I can help you remember it!" He says excitedly.

They chuckle "And how do you plan to do that little dude?"

He starts thinking.

"Well, maybe I can tell you a bunch of names and then you'll remember what it was." He suggests "Was it a girl or a boy?"

"It was a girl." (Name) says.

AJ suddenly stands up.

"I'll go write all the names I can think of and then I'm going to show you." He runs out of the room.

They laugh "He is such a sweet kid."

"Right? Can't believe Clementine raised him." Louis teased.

She rolled her eyes at the boy.

(Name) looked at Gabe. When he caught their eyes he raised his eyebrows and they smirked. He knew something was up.

"Hey did Gabe sing something when he came here?" They asked with a smirk.

Violet looked at them confused "No?"

They giggled. Everyone looked confused except Javier, David, and Tripp who were also smirking, and Gabe who was petrified.

(Name) looked at the piano that was in the room.

"May I?" They gestured towards it.

"Oh, a fellow musician. Be my guest." Louis said.

Putting their bowl down and sitting on the piano bench they cracked their fingers.

"I don't know if I can even play it anymore so sorry if it's shitty."

Slowly the notes started making sense and everyone recognized the tune, Louis laughing and Clementine and Gabe groaning.

"Come on Gabe, don't tell me you forgot the words. Didn't we practice enough?" They laughed.

Louis looked at him "How can you not know the words dude."

"If you know the words why don't you sing it?" Gabe glared.

"You starting or am I?" Louis asked (Name).

"You start."

He cleared his throat.

"In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine, dwelt a miner forty-niner, and his daughter, Clementine~ Take it away!"

(Name) laughed.

"Yes I loved her, how I loved her, tho her shoes were number nine, herring boxes, without topses, sandals were for Clementine~"

Catching Clementine's eyes they smiled at her, and she returned it.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

After dinner, Clementine showed them to their rooms. (Name) was sharing one with Gabe. Neither of them was happy with the arrangement. 

"I'm gonna go to sleep so you better be quiet." Gabe told them.

Rolling their eyes they wanted to tell him off when a knock on the door interrupted them.

"I'll get it."

They opened the door and there stood AJ with a paper in his hands.

"Hey (Name)! I finished my names." He handed them the paper.

"Oh, thanks AJ." They smiled at him.

He smiled back "No problem. I also drew you a picture on the back. I hope you like it."

They chuckled "I'm sure I will."

"Well, good night then." "Good night AJ." 

Closing the door they lay down again.

"Hey Gabe, do you mind if I keep the light on." They asked.

"I do." He said. "Yeah, I don't care. Good night Gabe."

He groaned and turned his back on them.

They looked at the drawing AJ drew first.He drew them with Rosie and him. They bore in mind to thank him for it tomorrow.

Turning the paper over there was a whole page of names.

'Okay, let's see. Damn. He actually wrote a bunch.'

"Let's see." They whispered.

"Lily. No. Sophie. Nope. Minerva? Definitely not."

'This is gonna be a long night.'

Getting close to the end of the list, none of them were ringing the bell for them. Then again, what are the chances of AJ guessing their best friend's name?

"This is hopeless." They put the paper down on the cupboard. Blowing out the light, they pulled their sheets up.

'Imagine forgetting your best friend's name. What a dumbass.'

It was there somewhere. Buried in the brain. They just had to dig hard enough to find it. Closing their eyes they try to sleep, still trying to think of a name.
