Day 3: Favorite Aziraphale and Crowley Historical Era

I love the historical scenes in general so much. Watching their relationship evolve and seeing how they saw historical events is just so much fun.

But 1941 is my absolute favorite. It's so important for their relationship. And it's just full of stuff to love:

the metaphorical connotations of Crowley's walk down the aisle of the church/new name

the ease of communication and collaboration even after a long time apart

the rescuing of the books and Aziraphale's love realization 😍

the eagle statue that Crowley goes back and gets for his flat

"There must be something I can do for you" horny angel

the clothes! Hats! Crowley and his tie!

they BOTH call each other "friend" in front of people!

Aziraphale and his fucking adorable stimming because he's so damned excited to do his magic act

the TRUST between them - *swoon*

Furfur and his silly camera

the photograph. Agh, there is a photograph of them together! Who has it now? Where are they keeping it? It must be SO precious to them!

shades of grey

Yeah, I could go on. This era hits all the right spots for me. And then I imagine a part 3 where they're dancing...

In another life..

Imagine your reincarnated husband!

Your reincarnated husband! Once died protecting you and the empire of suddenly attacks was announced at your marriage.

Your reincarnated husband! Died in your hands, blood are everywhere especially around you. In devastated you kill yourself by slicing your neck, as you can't live without the person who loved you the most...

Silence filled in the room, and then the next was nothing... Nothing but silence of your suddenly death with your only person you cherish the most. Two of you lay in the ground, pool of blood are everywhere around you two. A tragic lives of both two lovely people who found themselves by the fate itself.

The new emperor and empress sudden news of dying because of sudden attack happened.

...

.....

......

That was the tale of your childhood. The story tale you held in your heart when you were a child.

In was a pity, that tale kinda reminds you of the empress who once a duchess.

It's was about a story between a duchess and a crown prince.

It was said that the duchess was mistreated as an outcast and a replacement of the lady of the duke. The whole family neglected the duchess because she was just nothing but a replacement of the lady duchess who once gone missing and never came back. The duke tired to find the daughter, the one he cherished before she was gone. But suddenly stumble across on the girl who look-alike her daughter, but the girl has a dark red hair, her daughter has a red hair almost had a peach hair. The girl almost looked like the lady duchess. In exchanging words towards her, he adopted her not only for her to feel loved but for the replacement of his once cherish lovely daughter.

The brothers of the lovely lady duchess, was frustrated with the news of the fake lady duchess who was their "new sister".

Both of the father and her "brothers" never care of her, never did, even if she acted a brat or spoiled one. They never once showed a affection of her as they neglect her once if she's in their presence.

The servants don't really care about her either. They made her starved, left out, and never serves her like a right duchess.

That was until she sneak out of the duke household and somehow met her destiny..

The crown prince of the empire.

Some people just describe what the crown prince is. Some will say, he isn't the favour one as the people especially nobles ones saw that the prince were also an outcast, but people assumed the Emperor loved his half-sister, the one that destiny to die at age 18, it was the Emperor's plan but it seems it backfired when he saw what she really is, just like her mother, his once a lover. The Emperor's true lover, the one that emperor loved so much. That he keep the kid around them. The Emperor was known to be a cold and tyrant leader. A brutal one when it's comes to his enemies.

'The crown prince is nothing but the heir of the throne' the Emperor said to his personal knight.

'nothing but a heir' is what the crown prince thought. He knows, he knows he can't win his father's love and affection when it's comes to his half-sister. So he stay quiet and quiet and wait for the time to strike down and kill it's enemy.

The Emperor loved the half-sister, but when it comes to him, HIS suppose to be a biological child. The Emperor choose to neglect him and don't really care about him. The heir can die, the Emperor wouldn't help him and wouldn't care for him. After all, there's still one child to own the throne after all.

The crown prince is tired. Tired of all of this. If the Emperor just confess to him everything then it would not be this mess..

The crown prince ran away ended lost somewhere, then he sit in the ground and silent crying filled the place. Before he hear the noises towards him and when he look up, he meet the "fake duchess" which people talk about.

The fake lady looked at the child (the crown prince is older than the fake duchess btw) and asked. "Um.. Are you okay, why are you crying?"

Then the crown prince quickly wipe his tears and answer her, "Y-yeah.. I'm okay..." and then, "by the chance, are you perhaps the new daughter of the duke?" the crown prince asked, the duchess freeze in place and then answered in a low voice, "I.. I wouldn't call myself like that..." the duchess said. The crown prince quickly understood and question a different one, like why are you here, and are you somehow lost too? And a bunch of talks right here and then. They started to get comfortable each other and learning things each other too, if that they have enough time to meet each other that is. They would go to the same place where they first met.

But of course, we can't hide things so easily right?

When the crown prince reach its age of 18, his half-sister 14, there was a accident. Well the crown prince wouldn't call it a "accident".

Day by day the crown prince filled with envy and jealousy and frustration with his half-sister actions and his father's words. That's when his sister hits her first celebration, the day where people will know about her. He instead had a plan to end his so-called family.

For many years of being miserable and being a mistake and just being neglected by your only biological parent who just choose some insect that isn't even fully blood related.

He choose kill his father, his half-sister and everyone who serve his father and sister.

Even all the servants who choose to work here, it will be their last day.

They will be killed by his hands and his only hands.

Their end will be in his hands. And no one else.

When the news came of sudden death of the Emperor's and the second Princess deaths and a massacre happened in the Palace! The only survival was the heir of the throne! He explained in pain and traumatic expression as he tired to explain to the people of the empire that their was some bunch of assassination that tried to assassin his family and the crown prince also got hurt. In desperate people believe his innocent act.

When in reality, it wasn't a act. It was only the begging of the terror of the people of the so-called empire.

Especially the people who hurt his darling duchess..

Hi!

Just wanted to recommend “a house, a home” by satinsonnets. The amount of flirty fluff mixed with single dad historical Draco has me rereading this fic over and over.

Hope it was okay I used the ask function for the rec!

Thanks!

a house, a home by satinsonnets - M, one-shot - "I believe in opportunity, Miss Granger, and I'd like to give you one. Should you be a good match for my son, you will be well provided for, and you will be allowed to continue on with your studies and pursuit of a university education." He leans forward, gently wiping a residual tear drying on her cheek, before plucking a rogue daffodil from the ground, an odd sight to behold in autumn. "Think about it, Miss Granger. I'll send a carriage in two days time to the Three Broomsticks. If you're interested, please be timely." She doesn't have to think very hard on his offer, and finds herself with her meager belongings packed into two small suitcases waiting on the steps of the tavern two nights later, hope in her heart and freedom on her mind.

PS: Yes sending this using the ask option is fine.

summary:

After surviving centuries of battle, bloodshed, and betrayal with Jeonghan by his side, Seungcheol has learned to be cautious about good things. Joshua is becoming the dangerous exception.

excerpt:

The first time Seungcheol and Joshua had gone out together, just the two of them, Jeonghan was nursing a stubborn migraine. He’d practically shooed them out the door so he could have some blessed silence.

Hungry and with nothing better to do, Joshua wandered over to a street-side stall near the apartment (Jeonghan’s apartment, back when life was separate). He ate quickly, overly conscious of the way Seungcheol was watching him while taking leisurely sips of his blood from one of Jeonghan’s flasks. When Joshua ordered soju to loosen up, he grimaced at the taste. So Seungcheol took him to a bar and bought him a nicer drink and another nicer drink after that, reaping what he sowed when Joshua started laughing and whispering and feeling up his thigh. He let Joshua drag him to the club next door, where Seungcheol finally kissed him hard under the strobe lights, Joshua halfway drunk on top-shelf whiskey, Seungcheol drunk on him.

quotes by Victorians about the 1920s view of their generation's women

"We are frequently told that the Victorian woman...generally behaved like a pampered and neurotic infant. This is all moonshine. I do not think that I ever saw a woman faint before I came to London in 1869, and not often after then...they enjoyed a hearty laugh, and a good many of them a contest of wits with any man." -Nineteenth Century, a Monthly Review, 1927 (written by a man born in 1850)

"What queer ideas the girl of 1929 has about the Victorian period- they are not a bit true...Marriage was by no means the end and aim of our existence. Oxford and Cambridge claimed quite a few of us after school days were over. We had great ideas about 'life' and what it all might mean to us." -St. Petersburg Times, 1929 (written by a woman born in 1853)

"True, debutantes were chaperoned at balls. But that fact did not prevent them from dancing as frequently as they chose with their favorite partners. The idea that girls in the Victorian era spent their days sewing seams and practicing scales is another fallacy." -Gettysburg Times, July 1, 1927 (quote from the Dowager Lady Raglan, Ethel Jemima Somerset, who lived from 1857 to 1940)

Can you recommend me fics where H is a princess and D is a guard/knight? Much like WIP Castle Guard by GreenFlowerPot. Thank you 😁

The Queen’s Knight By: cleotheo - M, 29 Chapters - There’s a new craze in the wizarding world: Immersion Books. When Harry and Ron buy one for Hermione’s birthday she finds herself immersed in a medieval world where a certain blond Slytherin has been cast as her lover.

The Witch in the Wood - LittleIvy - M, 7 chapters - Trapped in a loveless marriage to Lord Voldemort and forced to beget him an heir, it won't be long before Hermione withdraws into herself, sinking so deep not even a Legilimens spelunking in the hollows of her mind will be able to find her. Engaging in a forbidden romance with her bodyguard keeps her afloat, but secret affairs in the Dark Lord's court never stay secret for long. Someone must know of their treason—why else would Lord Voldemort send him, of all people, to hunt her down once she escapes?

his eyes were gray - dhrdump (ryekiree) - T, one-shot - This year, as Princess Hermione turns 24, more than ever, she was nervous. She never understood why but she had a slight inkling. It was the first festivity they held since Draco returned to the castle. Returned to her. And it was to celebrate the day of her birth.

The Tides of Power - LadyAniko - T, one-shot - Draco Malfoy, knight and heir to the great House Malfoy, has been given a task that his father believes is necessary for furthering Malfoy influence in the royal realm. Draco expects it to be a distasteful task, and a tedious one, but he does not expect it to be difficult. He certainly doesn’t expect the woman he is supposed to guard, one Hermione Granger, to throw everyone’s plans to chaos.

excerpt:

Gripping Jeonghan’s shoulder, Seungcheol extracted the sword in one even pull. Jeonghan coughed. Dark blood spilled from his mouth — blood he had stolen from nameless prisoners and, by some sort of dark magic, remade into his own. Hypnotized, Seungcheol watched him suck his bottom lip clean. Their eyes met. His eyelashes were even longer up close.

“Good as new,” Jeonghan said drolly, drawing a hand over the closing wound. His sweat-slick skin reflected the moonlight overhead. “You are stronger than you look.”

“You are weaker than you look,” Seungcheol shot back, still gripping his shoulder.

Jeonghan failed to rise to the bait. “Is that your gift? Strength?”

Seungcheol frowned. “My gift?”
