🪐 gimme gimme gimme

hi frien <3 ty <3 here is some human!steve

Each wall was featureless, aside from the panels. There was light coming from <i>somewhere</i>, but there didn’t appear to be any visible source. Steve stood, even as his body protested the movement, and walked the perimeter of the room, determined to not give into the temptation of just accepting his fate as a prisoner.

Eventually, Steve had to give into the exhaustion that was taking over his aching body and laid on the cot and pulled the thin blanket over his body. As he fell asleep, Steve hoped that maybe when he woke up, he’d be back home and this would be some fucked up nightmare.

Unfortunately, the next time he opened his eyes, it was to the same monochrome cell that he’d been in when he’d fallen asleep. He realized that at some point while he’d been asleep, the aliens had come and replenished his food and water, which he supposed was a blessing, even if it meant that he had been vulnerable during that time.

He’s got brightly colored flowers again, more jasmine as well. “It’s a nice room,” Tay says, “but it could use a pop of color.”

Big just nods in agreement. His tongue doesn’t seem to be working very well.

Finding a second chance at love isn't something either of them thought was in the cards. Noticing that there was someone in front of you all along, takes something changing to open your eyes.

Big supposes almost dying is a pretty good example of radical life changes, though that was just the beginning. As his grandma used to say, in order for a garden to truly bloom, you have to give it space to grow.

✨Composition Analysis: Into The Ashes✨

I’m back with another Composition Analysis from my Peter Hart soundtrack, courtesy of @gioiaalbanoart ✨

Without further ado, the Titular Piece. As always, use headphones or earbuds for the best listening experience:

Into the Ashes

“Into the Ashes” was named after The Golden Phoenix. Before Peter became the captain, his father Johnathan Hart was commanding The Phoenix. Proceeding a long battle with an enemy ship, The Phoenix was nearly sunk. However, as it is named The Phoenix, it dove into the ashes and rose back from them to sail the sea again.

After Captain Hart I’s death, Captain Hart II (Peter) rebranded the vessel as The Golden Phoenix to honor his father’s legacy, while also giving rise to a new era.

This movement is in 3 distinct parts, with an overarching melody passed between accordion, flute, and strings. The meter is 6/8, to give a “rocking” feeling like the ocean. Swells in the strings represent the waves rolling over in the sea, and the deep baritone/bass parts are added because yes. ✨

At the end of each section is a little “Pirate motif” that I used in the previous analysis post, as well as a few other movements in the Peter Hart soundtrack.

The song opens with the “drums of war” (one of my favorite opens). The tambourine is heard playing both on the beat and in syncopated rhythms for extra pizazz. An accordion takes the melody on the first part, while harmonies fall to the harp and the delicious choir of men.

Then, the melody is passed to the flute for Part II. Some minor embellishments are added to the flute to mimic the rising and falling of the waves. Lots of grace notes added to put a distinct spin to the melody shown in Part I.

Then, Part III. This part was FUUUUUN 🎵

We introduce Part III with a stagger rhythm, as the waves get a little chopper, and the seafaring adventures take a more treacherous turn. The flute and accordion are paired on the melody line with strings, and even more embellishments, as they anxiously try to catch up to the impending storm of accelerandos.

The ending of the piece slows down to signify that the boat has broken out of the storm, into the calmer seas, and is ready to sail another day ⛵️✨

I hope you enjoyed this analysis! Tag list below the cut for people who may/may not be interested in this (+ or - me if you want to be added or removed 💖)

Tag list: @gioiaalbanoart @wyked-ao3 @autism-purgatory @lychhiker-writes @thatuselesshuman @theverumproject @sunglasses-in-the-bentley @tabswrites @fortunatetragedy @bookish-karina @alinacapellabooks

[missyourflight]

hiya, i'm so glad you like the fic 💖

tag for the story is just sailing yacht au - there is a little sequel ficlet over here. i'm Supposed to be working on a few other stories but i do love the yacht boys so any future stories in this verse will go under that tag ⛵️

[jazzerdoc]

This week's theme: Rec a fic that starts with the same letter as your username (or, if you like, a part of your username). I was tagged by @welcometololaland & hereby tag the two writers below plus @cheesecurdsgravyandfries @the-amber-fox @cockleshells @everwitch-magiks @indomitable-love and anyone else who has an easier user name than I. DO IT OR NOT. ALL GOOD. 🤘🏽♥️🤍💙🥰

The rules: Tag a fic that starts with the same letter as your username and describe why it's so good / how it has a hold on you. Then tag some people to see what everyone else is reading. Spread the love! Also, Lola will do the round up on Sunday, so if you're still recc-ing on Saturday, no pressure! Please tag @welcometololaland or tag #fic rec friday so she can compile the master list.

I'm gonna break Lola’s own rules and rec more than one! This is because there are VERY FEW fics that start with J (for jazzerdoc) or K (for Kelly) - come on, people, let’s get to using those other letters!

RED WHITE & ROYAL BLUE

The first - for J (most ironically the word is Jesus but that’s another story) - is by @clottedcreamfudge, who is also hereby tagged for this challenge. This fic is about some things that Alex hates - sailing, polo shirts, fancy knots - until he doesn’t. Let’s just say that Henry is very sexy when describing said knots and then demonstrating them. ⛵️🪢🥵

The second - for K - is by @cinnamoncoffees (aka yr_bb), who is also hereby tagged for this rec challenge. This is a sweet and hot fic in which Wille drunk/booty-calls Simon from outside a club. Ultimately, bathroom sex & nightstand-drawer-toy shenanigans ensue. 👑💜🥵

YOUNG ROYALS (lest you think all I read is RWRB)

🎤 i am ASKING POLITELY ┻⁠┻⁠︵⁠ヽ⁠(⁠`⁠Д⁠´⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠︵⁠┻⁠┻

heheheh i am giving it impolitely

first ask :)

Steve nervously glanced at the alpha, trying to figure out how he was doing so far. He seemed relaxed, but wary of their surroundings, glancing around them frequently, as if nervous to be seen. Steve felt his hackles rise, and furrowed his eyebrows. Could the alpha be embarrassed to be seen with him? Surely not, Chrissy wouldn’t have let him move forward to this stage of the hiring process if Eddie wasn’t going to at least consider him for the job.

“Here are the picnic tables,” Steve said uselessly as a way to fill the silence that had grown between them.

Eddie hummed in response and sat at one of them, and Steve followed his lead, sitting across from him. The picnic table was positioned perpendicular to the park, so Steve sat straddling the bench to keep an eye on Elodie. He may not have been hired yet, so he still wanted to prove that he was capable of the job.

Hello everyone! We at the @inu-mothership​​ come once again with another rec list.

This time, we pair our favorite wind demoness without a heart of her own with a daiyōkai who hides his heart beneath an ice cold exterior!

We hope you are ready for some SessKagu recs! And if you didn’t get enough from our list, please take a look at the SessKagu Collection on AO3!

Our list below is in alphabetical order, and as always, please carefully read all tags and summaries and heed any warnings.

Happy Shipping, Happy Sailing ⛵️

The Fan in the Glass Case (E) - @loveyou-x3000

In the search for one remnant of Naraku, Sesshomaru finds two

First time for everything (T) - @sweepingtree

Oneshot collection of various Sesshoumaru and Kagura parenting scenarios.

Flowers on the Wind (T) - @4evaconfuzzled​ & @alannada​

It seemed her future was already planned. Until she saw him.

Free the Wind (M) - @angelhart79​ (FFN)

In which Sesshoumaru suddenly realizes hope exists.

Just Enough Time (M) - @inussunflower

What might have happened if Sesshomaru comforted Kagura in her final moments?

The Night of the Crescent Moon (T) - @neutronstarchild

Kagura got her heart back and escaped with her life. But she found something out about herself: she was a hanyō, and was protected by Naraku’s hold on her heart. When she turns human on the night of the crescent moon (a crescent moon that looks all too familiar), someone comes to her side.

Satstruga (M) - @kiwi--witch

The wind returns in winter, carving ridges into hard packed snow.

slow and high tempo (M) - Shespitsfire

No one else would know him like this.

The Unquiet Winds (Kagura’s reincarnation) (T) - paynesgrey (FFN)

Natsumi dreams of another woman's past, a woman who desperately wants to reunite with the man she loves, even if Natsumi has to suffer in the end.

(’til thrice again) (T) - @pinkweirdsunsets

where they die and meet again, and it repeats like how the wind circles the moon.

(Explicit, 45,532 words, completed, Armie/Timmy)

Armie is stuck on Grand Cayman in summer 2020 but desperately needs to get off the island for personal and financial reasons. Timmy is also there, recovering from a shock, but also considering returning home to the mainland for his own reasons.
