🐺Vlad🐺
Full name is Count Vladislav 'Laszlo' Impaler.
Birthday is August 10th, 775.
Hungarian. The name is of Slavic origin. I also needed his name to not contain the letter R.
≈2,30 meters.
Since his son doesn't want to engage in politics, he is a current member of the Council of 20&20 Ministers (20 are their deputies), the ultimate vampire/monster government.
He has an infinite number of useful ties around the world for any reason.
He's bi, just because I think that's cool and fits his character.
Mainly an uninhibited, straightforward, rough rebel who values family highly and doesn't reveal his sociable, supportive, altruistic and gentle side to just anyone. The kind who says "I love you" bluntly, if he sees fit. It's the same with swearing.
He speaks Romanian, much less Hungarian, and has his own special English with a lot of slang (often others don't understand his strange pronunciation). But he likes to sing in French.
As a teenager, he resisted studying, arguing that there was nothing to learn. Having grown up and having his own children, he is more willing to learn new things and study subjects.
He wanted five children, four sons and one daughter.
Because of his VERY tall stature, he has common tall people's problems, but is absolutely fond of his relatives and buds being smol.
He runs any errands that Drac gives him at the hotel. While @ssleeping-in-a-coffin 's Vlad's got a position as a technical inspector, we both know that for the sake of praise from his son, he's ready for anything.
Not going to imitate Dracula in clothes, he breaks all the damn stereotypes and wears red sneakers similar to Mavis' and flared trousers that perfectly match his thinness.
He has two earrings on his left ear since 201*.
He's more a writer than a reader. He keeps diaries, writing mostly his autobiography there.
He is fond of spiritualism, exorcism and necromancy. His method of awakening the fangs came from there.
He loves chips and fast food more than sweets.
His favorite in the family (except Drac) is Johnny. They call each other friends, and Vlad likes to be the boy's mentor and protect him.
Afraid of dentists.
He likes when there is a minimum amount of unnecessary things in the room, and is too lazy to clean up.
A good father, but a terrible husband. (His wife didn't die)
A cat person.
Songs that characterize/associate with him:
Believer by Imagine Dragons; King Vlad by The Meteors; Formidable by Stromae; Dynamite by Sean Paul, Sia; West Coast by Imagine Dragons; Bloodstream by The Chainsmokers; Hall of the Mountain King by Rainbow; Never let me down again by Depeche Mode

Voiceplay Visuals: Hide And Seek (Ding Dong!)
"Hang on, you're skipping In The Hall Of The Mountain King?" Truth be told, I've never even watched that one. I've seen the thumbnail of course, and well, my weirdness-tolerance in my brain only goes so far. Be glad you're getting a post about this video, because it took me a while to decide to watch it, and I've only seen it like 3 times max.
This was Voiceplay's Halloween video of 2022, released on the 8th of October, and features Lauren Paley, who I don't really know anything about, but apparently she's popular on Tiktok and is known as "the stairwell siren" due her typical choice of singing location. The song is originally a Vocaloid song, but Voiceplay gave it a little bit (understatement of the century) of Disney flair, or more specifically, Disneyland flair, as the video is filmed as if you were watching a performance inside the Haunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland, literally. This might not be one of my most-favourite videos to watch or VP songs to listen to, but I gotta admit that the visual stuff is freaking insane in this video, and I do have a fair few things to talk about with this one, so let's get into it!
(Warning: this post includes a fair bit of infodumping)
Tumblr media
I'll get to each person individually in a minute, but first check out the set design! Like a lot of Voiceplay's videos nowadays. this was filmed at Pattycake Productions studios, and Tony Wakim was heavily involved with this one - credited with costuming, props, puppeteering, and direction, so shoutout to him! And shoutout also to Layne, the other half of Pattycake Productions, who arranged the cover and was in charge of the video concept.
I've never been to DisneyLand/World (I've never even been overseas, and there are no Disney parks in Australia), but when I was a little younger (like during mid high school?) I went through a bit of a phase of interest in Disney parks, wanting to learn stuff about them and watching shows from the parks on YouTube and stuff (if only I had been watching shows from Universal Studios in Orlando...), so I'm not entirely unfamiliar with the Haunted Mansion ride/attraction, and I currently have Disney Wiki on hand to help provide further elaboration and comparison pictures.
Tumblr media
Alright, character time!
Let's start with Cesar in the middle, who is absolutely serving as Madame Leota, a disembodied head in a crystal ball who conducts "an otherworldly séance in an attempt to summon spirits and assist them in materializing." (And I'm not meant to be talking about the arrangement, but I would feel bad if I didn't mention that the "serpents and spiders" incantation that Cesar does before the beat kicks in is actually part of Madame Leota's incantation, not from the Hide And Seek song!) (Also fun fact: Madame Leota was originally voiced by Eleanor Audley, who also voiced both Lady Tremaine in Cinderella and Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty!)
Could you immediately tell based on just the thumbnail which one was Layne and which one was Geoff? I did actually get it right (could I really call myself a devoted Geoff stan if I didn't?), but honestly I did start to second-guess myself a little.
So in the left-hand column here, we have Layne, and my god Tony and Rick Underwood both really went off for this one. Layne is playing the Hatbox Ghost, who looks like this!
Tumblr media
And if it weren't enough to be wondering how long Layne spent in the makeup chair for his extremely ghostly appearance (note that he's also completely clean-shaven, which is quite rare for him, but obviously necessary for the character look), then next we have Geoff, in the right-hand column, and do you see why I don't watch this video a lot? 😅 (I'm mostly joking, I'm not that shallow, but he's still practically unrecognisable!)
Geoff is playing The Caretaker (who apparently has the semi-official name of Silas Crump), who is the groundskeeper for the mansion and its adjacent cemetery, and he is terrified of the undead residents within the manor. He looks like this!
Tumblr media
(Geoff, I know you love to call yourself "old [and boring]", but this is ridiculous 🤣)
(Not even 30 seconds into the video yet! Shoutout to anyone who actually reads this whole post!)
Tumblr media
Next, we have Lauren, who is playing "The Bride". Apparently there were two iterations of this character in The Haunted Mansion, and I'm not sure which one Lauren is playing, or whether she's going for a mix of both, but here are pictures of the two versions:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The second iteration of The Bride (on the right) is known as Constance Hatchaway (not a typo!), and is one of the figures depicted in the Stretching Room's portraits. Apparently she had a habit of decapitating her husbands with a hatchet (hence the surname), and then stuffing their heads inside of hatboxes as trophies (lovely). According to lore, one of her husbands came into the possession of the manor now known as the Haunted Mansion, which she then inherited after her husband met the same grisly fate as all the previous ones did.
And finally we have Eli, perhaps the most recognisable member in this one, as Alexander Nitrokoff, another figure from the Stretching Portrait Gallery. He looks like this: (and yes, this portrait basically depicts his untimely end. Rip.)
Tumblr media
(10/10 casting choice, I must say, and outfit on point as well 👌)
OKAY, we've finally got character lore and introductions out the way, now we can actually get on with the video!
Tumblr media
This picture is very similar to the first picture in this post, but I have more things to say about this set up!
One, I love the ghostly visual effects on Lauren, with the glowy ethereal outline of her silhouette, and the slight translucence on her dress! No clue who was responsible for visual effects/editing on this one (it doesn't say in the description, but maybe Layne?)
And 2, correct me if I'm wrong but are Geoff, Layne, and Eli all lit in different ways? Eli has a warm-coloured spotlight on him, Geoff has more of a cool-coloured spotlight on him (I think?), possibly angled different to the light on Eli as well, and as for Layne I'm honestly not sure, but he stands out in a really interesting way. I have a feeling that the lighting on him is such that it makes him look like an actual Haunted Mansion/Disney Parks ride animatronic (especially when combined with deliberate movement/acting choices in the video). Nobody is credited with lighting for this one, but I'll still place a bet on who helped with a lot of it (at the least) anyway!
Tumblr media
"Ding dong, you can't keep me WAITING!!!"
(Acting was on point across the board for this video, I must say)
Tumblr media
"I can sense your horror!"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(JESUS-)
Tumblr media
Absolutely loving Cesar's makeup in this one ngl (I wonder whether he coloured his face and/or hair blue for filming this or if that was just all done via editing?)
(Also great face Eli)
Tumblr media
Honestly if not for his unmistakable vocal timbre, you could easily not realize this was Geoff at all. Rick did a ridiculously good job of making him (and Layne) look completely unrecognisable! Like is Geoff wearing facial prosthetics or something? His eyebrows look fake, the eyebags look like they were done with more than just regular makeup, and even his cheeks look thinner? Man I really wanna join VP's Patreon at the behind-the-scenes tier! But alas! Money!

Geoff: "Just wait, you can't hide from me"
Me while listening to the song on Spotify: 👉👈 👀
Me while watching the YouTube video: 😧😬

You can't have one of your members dress up as the Hatbox Ghost for a Haunted Mansion style video and not feature the character's main "gimmick" of his head moving from his neck to the box that he holds! And well, all things considered, Voiceplay did a pretty decent job of it! (And hey, even Disney themselves struggled with it - the character was removed from the attraction within only a few weeks of the ride's opening, and didn't actually return to the ride until 46 years later, in 2015, for the park's Diamond Anniversary Celebrations!)
Tumblr media
"Knock, knock, I'm inside your room now" "Hello!"
Tumblr media
Voiceplay are just showing off at this point honestly 😝 (I wonder how long this video was in production for? Seems like it would have been a big project taking at least a full month, if not longer)
Also haven't yet mentioned it but it's cool how the full group shots are shot in a way that makes it look like you're watching this from one of the ridecars (people-movers?) of the Haunted Mansion!
Tumblr media
Oh dang I completely forgot about Cesar's/Madame Leota's crystal ball floating up in the air!
And there you have it folks! Maybe not one of my most picture-heavy posts, but quite possibly one of the most text-heavy! Now time for me to not watch this video again until October at the earliest!
(Also, since I'm skipping over the Christmas videos (for now at least), we're finally into the 2023 bunch of videos! (Though I'll be skipping over Nothing Else Matters and In My Room, sorry!))

🗗 UNLIKELIHOOD | chapter two
Tumblr media
PRECIS. the chances of you confessing to your crush sums to zero when you realise you have to pretend to have a crush on sunghoon, just to help your friend hide her feelings for the ice prince.
or, alternatively, in which you borrow an eraser from your friend, yi kyeong, which has sunghoon’s name written on it ( or so you think ) so, when the mentioned boy sees it, you have no other choice but to lie that you have a crush on him to avoid disclosing your friend’s secret.
GENRE. humour, fluff, angst if you squint hard enough, coming of age
WARNINGS. very minor angst ( 4.14k )
PREV | NEXT | MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
you’re considering changing schools, really.
ignoring sunghoon doesn’t help. he’s too hashtag deep into getting to know you better that he accompanies you almost everywhere. your mornings for the past three days have been commencing with sunghoon and ending with him as well. moreso, you have people looking at you while you commute through school as if you’re on a red carpet. you wake up and greet your a couple hundred new followers on instagram who have you added in a group called ‘sunghoon shrine.’ it makes sense. the school's most popular boy, who has never shown interest in anyone, suddenly started talking to you and acting like you’re his top priority. it makes completely, hundred percent sense. you’d be curious too if your favourite celebrity suddenly started hanging out with some random person.
it’s like a revolution and you don’t want to be a part of it.
“tired?” kyeong asks, sitting next to you by the track field. “looks like you’ve gotten busier.”
yeah, you have, and the pain is visible on your face. you want to get back to the days when people paid you no mind and continued with their life. waking up to a bunch of notifications and post-it notes on your locker, asking for sunghoon’s number or one of his exclusive pictures is draining you out; and surprisingly, you don’t have sunghoon’s number in the first place. “kyeong, help me,” you whine, leaning onto her shoulders as she shoves you away.
“i’m sure the gossip will die down in a few days,” enjoy the fame while you can, yes. you know she was going to add that too. however, this isn’t fun. as much as you’re enjoying this special treatment from sunghoon, it feels as if you’re walking on eggshells; like your life resonates between the flight of bumblebee and hall of mountain king as your theme songs.
besides, kyeong likes sunghoon and you’re practically deceiving her. even though she knows you and sunghoon as just friends, that’s simply what you wanted her to know. she doesn’t know he’s trying to get to know you better for the sake of a relationship, or that sunghoon knows about the eraser but he thinks you have a crush on him instead of kyeong.
it’s a mess, and it’s hard trying not to break someone’s heart. she doesn’t know the truth. she doesn’t even know you have a date with sunghoon after school.
“whatever, are you going to audition for that cinderella play?” oh, right. you forgot about it. you don’t have a picturesque memory either way and sunghoon is simply making it harder for you to focus on things that are not him. you’re sure kyeong would say something along the lines of ‘you’re down bad,’ if you ever told her about your dilemma, and honestly, you are. you are down bad to escape sunghoon, get out of his life or just get him out of yours; whichever is faster and easier.
“are you?” you counter as a football rolls near your legs, your eyes following the player following it shortly. it’s sunghoon, and he— wait, he plays volleyball, so why is he on the field playing in the football team? whatever, it’s none of your business anyway. you pass the ball, a soft thank you slips off his lips as he runs away. a pause, you are getting ideas and maybe, maybe sunghoon is about to become your business if you put enough effort into it. “do you think sunghoon will audition for prince charming?”
you see her smirk as he nudges your shoulders. “why, are you planning to be his cinderella?”
“what? ew, no,” okay, maybe the ew was an exaggeration. though, the thought of you being cinderella when he’s prince charming makes you want to puke. “i’m just asking because he’s the most suitable candidate. besides, you can audition for cinderella.”
oh, you feel so smart for coming up with the plan : have them casted, they kiss and fall in love. probably the smartest you’ve ever been. cupid has a competition and it’s you.
“why would i audition for cinderella if—” she pauses, lips curling into a smile as her eyes set on something behind you. kyeong doesn’t waste another moment, proceeding to stand up and pat the dust off her uniform. “senior,”
you feel the air around you shift.
“hope i’m not interrupting something,” she’s quick to shake her head in denial, the smile never leaving her lips while you witness the whole scene from the sidelines. “i was hoping you’d audition for cinderella in the play. no pressure, just that your performance was great in last year’s play,”
“ah, of course, i would. are you audi—”
a frown sets on her face as the supposed ‘senior’s’ phone rings. you feel the air shift, yet again. “i have to answer this. see you in the club room later!”
“see you!” you’re not sure what you saw. yi kyeong, your friend, the yi kyeong who’s known for decking people in her first year switched personalities like it was her favourite colour. “turns out, i’m auditioning,”
yeah no, you couldn’t care less about the senior or the personality shift. at least, he made your job a tad bit easier. now, all you need to do is convince sunghoon.
.
.
.
“do you need something?” sunghoon asks, grabbing his earphones from the locker. now, how do you explain that you need him to audition for prince charming’s role so that you can set him and your friend up?
“oh, nothing? i was just curious about what you were doing,” and park sunghoon is actually gullible enough to buy that. honestly, your excuse is not baseless, considering how you both are in the ‘talking stage’ of the relationship. “have you heard about the auditions for the cinderella play?”
he nods, closing his locker. “yes, jake is one of the hosts. why do you ask?”
“uhh, i was wondering if you’d like to audition for prince charming?” you could’ve voice it better. you know, more confident, making it sound less like you’re plotting something. you’re in no state to answer any questions, if he ever asks.
he blinks, and then blinks again. a few seconds bask in silence and you’re ready to apologise but sunghoon beats you to it. “will you audition for cinderella?”
as proven, you’re in no state to answer questions, especially that one. why would you even audition for cinderella? first of all, you can’t act to save your life. second of all, even if you could, you wouldn’t audition when sunghoon is the most probable candidate for the main lead. “why do you ask?”
“i’ll register if you audition for cinderella,” nah, ain’t no way park sunghoon just did that and walked away like he didn’t just flip your head upside-down. you turn around, watching him waltz through the hallways like king louis xvi or something. at this point, you’re simply resisting the urge to yell at him.
you almost give up. almost.
you’ll get a number of opportunities to set him and kyeong up together, maybe the luck isn’t on your side. moreover, sunghoon is the only suitable candidate for prince charming in your eyes. there’s no way the theatre club is accepting someone else if a man like him is breathing among the peasants. so, in the end, they will cast him no matter what. yes, you’re right, they will.
but what if they don’t? you hate your mind for holding onto that question and making it your living crisis but truthfully, you have this situation under your control. all you have to do is audition and surprise, sunghoon’s already casted. besides, you do feel bad for backing off when you can literally save everyone some time and help them for your greater good.
all you have to do is audition, it’s easy, like a cakewalk, taking a lollipop from a kid. maybe not the last one since, kids these days are animalistic ( you’ve heard a few barking on streets ) it’s still easy, very easy.
you can do it.
.
.
.
yes, you can do it.
you have another plan. all you have to do is go to the stage and give the most mind-rotting, heart-stopping, life-ruining audition ever. you have to unleash the unskilled actor inside you, make it look like you can do anything but act. you have to drag the cinderella role around and make it seem like even the one playing as the tree in the backdrop is a better actor than you.
yes, it’ll leave you embarrassed. you’ll actually have to switch schools, probably; but it’s fine, as long as sunghoon gets the prince charming role.
“alright, next.” one of the club heads announce and surprisingly, the senior from earlier today is present as well. you watch the participant walk up the stage and god, everyone auditioning for cinderella looks drop dead gorgeous. “kim sunoo, you’re auditioning for cinderella?”
“yes.” he replies.
“why?”
“do you think there’s anyone else who fits the role more than me?” you almost scoffed out loud. the confidence? the charm? the smirk on his face? he fits the role of evil step mother more than cinderella. while waiting for your turn, you search for kyeong, remembering you haven’t seen her in the club room at all. a part of you wonders if she dipped— even though she isn’t like this— you couldn’t help but worry about your whole plan going down the drain.
you excuse yourself out of the club room, halting by the neighbouring classroom when you see a familiar figure sitting by the teacher’s desk. “yi kyeong?” turns out it’s actually her, and you release the breath you didn’t know you’ve been holding in for a while now. “what’s wrong?”
despite doing everything for your own good, you couldn’t help but worry about her. kyeong is perhaps the most self-righteous person you’ve ever met, in a good way. she’s confident in herself, she knows what she’s capable of and what not. she’s not afraid to try, even if she thinks it’s beyond her limits. so, seeing her all alone like this, it felt just like failing a test of a subject you’ve mastered.
she looks into your eyes, a hint of hesitation settling on her face. “yn, i’m scared. everyone here is so good.” you want to laugh, not the right timing, but you want to.
“no, stop. you’re better. you received the best female lead award last year, you can do it.” you assure, and it’s really funny coming from someone who’s probably the best candidate for cinderella’s role, saying that she’s scared. you wouldn’t say other participants auditioning are unskilled, neither do you know if there’s anyone out there who’s better than her. however, little do you know that your performance is definitely going to make her confidence fall back at her feet for kyeong to pick it up.
“yn, they’re calling you inside.” one of the club members informs you. a sigh spins into the air as you look at your friend, nodding as she shoots you an assuring smile. you can do it. you’re going to give your worst.
“yn— oh, you’re yi kyeong’s friend!” the club president exclaims as soon as you step in front of perform and ironically, it’s the senior; something seonghwa, as his jacket says. “i’m looking forward to your performance.”
yeah, no don’t. you don’t want anyone to look forward to anything you’re going to do for the next five minutes or so. this is about your reputation, your dignity, your highschool life, and everything else. and, how you had dreamt of a highschool life like in those movies, peaceful like quilts falling on glistening water; but, after all, movies are just movies. real life is much different, because right now you’re going to embarrass yourself in front of everyone for your best friend and the guy she likes.
“i’ll start,” you shook an awkward smile, a deep breath, it’s now or never. “here . . . kitty kitty kitty kitty . . . c’mon kitty . . .” a pause, your voice dies of shame and regrets. “Lucifer! come here—” that was so loud, you practically see a few people flinch.
“wait, wait,” one of the judges interjects, shuffling through their script. “which scene are you enacting?”
you cock your face to your left, awkwardly. “the opening scene?”
seonghwa sighs. he’s probably regretting looking forward to your performance. “no no, do that one. the one with the prince, where cinderella runs away.”
you get in stance, clearing your throat for another life-threatening performance. “oh . . . but i must go—”
“stop,” the judges interrupt again and this time, you’re fueling with anger. maybe if they didn’t want you to perform, they shouldn’t have added your name in the first place. “yn, there’s the passion?”
“i’m giving my everything, jay.” what a liar.
“you aren’t giving shit.” jay deadpans, rolling his eyes as you stand with your hands on your hips as if you’ve just served an oscar worthy performance. “you sound dead inside, as if you didn’t want to go to the ball in the first place.” no he’s right, you didn’t want to. you’re the only cinderella in the whole world who wants to avoid the ball and the prince, at all cost. you are, in fact, dead inside.
“alright, let’s try again—”
“no, thank you.” you refuse, or more like, take your time and try your shot at getting out of this place right now. “that’s all i had. i hope i get selected.” funny, very funny. only fools would select someone as talented as you for a play that’s supposed to be streamed live on the school's youtube account.
you rush your way outside the club room, ignoring the giggles and murmurs that followed. it’s fine, you anticipated this and brought this upon yourself. you don’t know why you feel bad, though. maybe because everyone is making fun of you, or perhaps, it’s kyeong and how she’s finally going to get the role; happy tears, for sure. or maybe, it’s because of sunghoon. maybe you expected him to be there, no matter how ugly and unclassy your performance was. after all, you did it for him. he asked you to audition, and for someone who wants him out of their life, you sure are more upset than you should be.
“i was looking for you,” you look up in the direction of the voice, eyes residing upon sunghoon as he hands you a bottle of water before standing next to you, by the classroom window. “i thought you wanted to watch yi kyeong’s performance.”
you chuckle. you don’t need to be there to know she’d do great. you just know it. she has always been the ideal student and it’s for a reason. “i know she’ll do amazing, as always.”
“are you jealous?” it’s a question that catches you off guard. you don’t know where it came from, or what made him think you’re jealous of kyeong. she has a lot of qualities, and honestly, you have wished for wanting to be like her; but jealousy is not the right word. “sorry, that didn’t sound right. but, you did your best, too. it was good.”
you laugh, and it’s probably the only genuine one so far today. ‘doing your best,’ it’s funny. you know you could’ve done better, you are better, but you did it for your friend, for him. you don’t know if sunghoon means his word. you’re not sure if he actually found your performance good or if he’s consoling you just for the sake of it. it’s probably the latter, however, you’re thankful for it, even if it’s just fake comfort.
“thanks?” yeah, it’s just fake. after all, everything so far is fake. the confession, the rejection, it sounds scripted. maybe, this is the most you and sunghoon have talked till date. you do want to stay away from him, you still do, but today can be an exception. “are we still down for today?”
you didn’t mean to ask that. you don’t know why you asked that, but when you notice the corner of his lips curl up, you realise that it was the right move. “the date? of course.”
thinking about it now, you haven’t seen sunghoon smile. well, you have, but not with you. not like you are a reason for him to smile, but you’d be lying if you say you don’t find his smile pretty. it’s adorable, especially the way his nose scrunches up and the way his eyes close completely when he grins. it’s cute, you think, and then find yourself too stunned to think further when you realise you just called him cute inside your head.
“uh, i’ll go.” yeah, it’s better to leave. you’re losing your mind after talking to him. god knows what made you think staying around sunghoon was a good idea.
“yn,” he calls your name, having you turn around to look at him. “see you later.” and lord, your heart might’ve just done something unspeakable.
.
.
.
it’s arrhythmia.
you’re sure it’s arrhythmia because ain’t know way you’re experiencing increased heartbeats all of a sudden. you’re glad you had only half the classes or you would’ve fainted. to be honest, your current stance isn’t any better. you’re here outside school, waiting for sunghoon to come so that you can go to the cafe together for your silly little ‘date.’ you can’t believe you had to lie to kyeong about it.
on another note, he’s late. you’ve been waiting for fifteen minutes. you didn’t know school’s heartthrob has no punctuality. you wonder if the teachers would get upset if they know that their favourite boy makes his date wait for over fifteen minutes. you’re about to give him a call when your phone rings inside your pocket and coincidently, it’s a call from him.
“hi yn, i’m sorry for being la—”
“hello to you too mr. park sunghoon.” you cut him off, slight mockery evident in your tone as you feel him hesitate on the other side. “if i may remind you, we have a date.”
you hear him sigh through the phone. “i know, i’m sorry. i didn’t know the coach would hold us back for extra practice. if you want, i can try asking to leave early.”
“no, please. i’m joking. you don’t have to skip practice for me,” you smile, pacing around the school exit. well, normally you would’ve been feral but logically, it would be a waste for him to skip practice for a date that isn’t even real. “i’ll go home. we can go out some other day,”
“no wait, yn. at least let me walk you home,” that’s completely, totally, certainly, unasked for. you don’t know whether you should be happy or sad, or going crazy and dancing in the middle of the road. “we had to cancel our date so let me make it up to you. do you mind waiting for another fifteen minutes?”
“no.” it’s a quick response, one that leaves you surprised at yourself. you do mind waiting. it’s getting dark, you don’t know why you said you didn’t, and that too fifteen minutes. even so, you can’t bring yourself to say the truth.
“great. i’ll be there soon,” you feel him smile through his words, reciprocating a smile back without your knowledge. “wait for me.”
and so you do. you could’ve waited in the library or some nearby cafe or the volleyball gym itself. however, you stayed where you were : by the exit. of course, you’ve had a fair share of students and passers-by shoot you with varied looks of concern, but you successfully fooled them by pretending to be on a call, or so you think. it’s crazy how you’re here wasting time on a boy you want out of your life. you hate how you’ve only known sunghoon for a little over four days and discovered parts of you that you never knew existed before.
you wouldn’t say you like him, but he’s not a bad guy either. sunghoon was never the wrong option in your eyes, honestly. he’s simply not the right one for you. there are differences that you can’t ignore, and certain things about him that you loathe. for example, how time seems to pass slowly when he’s not around.
“yn!” finally. an involuntary smile makes its way to your lips as you hear a familiar voice approaching you from a distance. “did i make you wait for too long?”
you chuckle, looking at sunghoon, who’s panting for air. his hair is in a mess, the chains on his bag aren't fully done, and from looking at the bottle in his hands, you realise he didn’t even drink water after practice. “i don’t know, you tell me.”
“i’m sorry,” your smile grows bigger at his soft apology.
you pat his shoulders, navigating through the streets illuminated by dim street lamps. “it’s okay, i was joking.”
“by the way, i got selected for prince charming’s role.” suddenly, your smile vanishes into thin air. you don’t know why that happened. in fact, you should be happy. kyeong and sunghoon acting together in the play, it’s what you’ve wished for the whole day. this is what you sacrificed your reputation for and yet for some reason, you find yourself forcing a smile at him. “and kyeong as cinderella.”
“isn’t that amazing? she’s good at what she does,” it’s not a lie and sungoon knows that. if there’s something you’ve learnt about her over the years, it’s her sheer determination. you snicker, thinking about the morning when kyeong said she was ‘scared’ to audition. looking back at it now, maybe that was just a prank to mock you, even though she would never do that. it truly is amazing, watching the prince charming and cinderella come together. “you both look really good together.”
on other days, you would have regretted saying that. however, today you don’t have any plans on taking it back. what’s true is true, and there’s no point denying it. “i wouldn’t be surprised if you both receive the best actor and actress this year,” another forced smile, another wave of suspicion passes over sunghoon. “you know, for the couple event at the school festival, you should participate with her. she’s really good at games, just like you. besides, she thinks you’re cool so—”
“what about you?” the question leaves you speechless, fiddling with your fingers as you bite your inner cheeks while thinking of a response. “what do you think about me?”
god, it’s back, the arrhythmia.
at this point, you don’t even care about the question. you’re worried that if sunghoon kept staring at you like this, you’d pass out. “me, uh, why does it matter?”
“it does. it matters to me.” you can’t defend yourself anymore. sunghoon knows his way around with words. he doesn’t talk much, but he says a lot in the way his eyes look at you. though, unable to interpret his gaze, you find yourself experiencing a funny feeling in your chest as your face heats up alarmingly. “why do you keep recommending yi kyeong to me? you don’t like me anymore?”
once again, you’re taken aback. you can’t tell the truth, and you don’t want to lie. so, you simply recite the facts. “i mean, i do but, isn’t kyeong better? she has good grades, she’s pretty, she’s good in extracurricular activities, she's everything that i’m not. why do you even bother going out with someone like me?” maybe, that’s a lot of facts in one. it hurts for you to say those words, but at the end of the day, it’s true. being with sunghoon wouldn’t change the fact that yi kyeong deserves him more than anyone else in the whole world.
“she’s not you,” he gulps and for the first time, you sense fear in his voice. you don’t know why, you just do. “she gets good grades, she’s good in extracurricular activities but she’s not you. and i like you, not her. so, don’t even use the ‘someone like me’ phrase for yourself ever again.”
before you realise, you’re already in front of your house. actually, you’ve been standing here for around ten minutes, just too lost in each other to even notice. you’re not sure if you process his words completely or correctly. all you know is that you’ve made a mistake, and now his words are stuck inside your head. he mutters a faint goodbye before proceeding to walk away, leaving you with all the uneasy feelings intoxicating your heart.
“by the way,” he says, making you flinch a little as you fiddle with the hem of your shirt while awaiting his words. “you are beautiful.” and then all you can remember is falling for the boy who never belonged to you in the first place.

Thranduil and Josie Pt. 129- Iris
Summary: Legolas and his Adar converse telepathically, both elated. He heads out to rescue Thranduil with an unwanted someone on his tail. Josie and Narcisse have a heated discussion. Catherine gets a visitor. A spell is cast. Garrett is summoned. A beautiful song is played for two Queens. Josie is in awe. A misunderstood situation occurs. Thranduil has an astral projection experience.
*Warnings* Angst, language, alcohol use,
Stories Stories Stories Masterlist
"A...ADAR??" Legolas gasped out as his eyes bolted all around his surroundings.
Tumblr media
"Legolas?! My son, you can hear me??" Thranduil replied in exhilaration as his pacing halted instantly.
"Father...is...is this real? Are you real?? Or am I hallucinating?"
Thranduil let out a sigh of relief as he chuckled. "It is I my son. I am real. I am alive."
"I...I cannot believe it!!! Where are you??"
"Jareth's kingdom, underground. I am unable to free myself."
"How..how is this possible?? I saw you, before my very eyes, you were...."
"I do not have time to explain that. I need you to gather your company and begin your journey to..."
"Adar, Josie, she will be so relieved. She has been shattered by believing you were dead and.."
"No! You must not tell that woman I am alive."
"What? That woman? Adar, I do not understand. Why on earth would you not want your Queen to know you did not leave her or speak of her in such a way?"
Thranduil had to think quickly to correct his error.
"I did not mean to refer to her like that. I have...been tortured and my mind is not clear. It took everything in me to even connect with you. If she knows, you know she will come here and it is too dangerous. It is best if she does not know until I have safely returned. You do not want her to suffer needlessly again if something were to happen, do you?"
"I...I suppose you are right. She has been through hell. I will do as you ask and immediately depart here."
"Find my ring and bring it to me. My powers are weak."
"Yes, I left it in place in your chambers. I will be there as soon as possible."
Everything went silent as the connection was lost.
"Adar?? Are you there?"
Thranduil had collapsed from exhaustion and was now out cold on the floor....but his eyes were wide open and dilated. Something was happening.....
Legolas wasted no time and ran off to inform Ferin that he would have to leave, but first he went to gather his gear and locate his father's ring.
"It was right here, I do not understand." Legolas muttered under his breath as he searched the same area over and over where he knew he saw it upon his return to the halls. Then it hit him. The crow. He had taken Josie her moonstone necklace that was there...but if he had taken her the ring, she would have said so. Did he take it to his father and he did not remember because of what he had been put through? It made sense that the bird took the necklace to the Queen for a reason, and according to Amara, the crow is the one who told her of Thranduil's existence. This could only mean that Jareth must be in possession of it now, Legolas assumed, because no one in Thranduil's kingdom would dare steal it and risk losing their hands.
"Ferin, my deepest apologies, but I must leave again. If it were not of dire urgency, I would not do so. Aragorn and Gimli were headed back to Lorien just before I left Dorwinion. That is where I will be headed for the time being."
"My Lord, do you need our assistance as well?"
"I will have to decline. The spiders need maintained here."
"As you wish. Where will your journey take you after Lorien?"
"I will disclose that to you, but it must not leave your lips, and if I do not return within the week, then I permit you and our company to assist. After Lorien, we will be headed to the goblin king's realm under the Misty Mountains."
Ferin's eyes grew. "My Lord? May I inquire as to why you would need to go to the dark kingdom? It has been destroyed by the dragons."
"Not all of it. There is something there I must reclaim and it cannot wait. You will understand once I return."
Ferin nodded and bowed, then went on his way back to the spider issue.
Legolas was just about to climb up onto Percy when Tauriel rode up.
"Why on earth are you going to such a place and in need of Aragorn's help?? And at such an inconvenient time?"
His lips pursed as he turned to glare at the she elf.
'This is your concern how? Eavesdropping does not become you Tauriel. Now, get out of my way."
"I will not! Something is terribly wrong and I can see it in your eyes. I know you all too well Legolas Greenleaf. Let me come and help."
"You know nothing of me and never did. What part of our divided union do you not understand? None of this concerns you in any way. You were so concerned about the spiders so feel free to stay here and offer your help to Ferin, for I do not desire it, or you. You need to accept that and move on."
Legolas sprung up on his horse and galloped off.
'I will not." Tauriel muttered and took off after him.
You went running through the castle halls in search of Narcisse after not finding him in his chambers. One of the guards that you grilled told you he had went to his office and wished to not be disturbed, but you didn't care. You had to tell him that you figured it out, why there were literal sparks between you and him when your hands touched.
Tumblr media
After racing up the stairs, you came to his door and collected yourself, then knocked.
"Narcisse? It's me. Can I please come in?"
He came to the door, opened it and stared at you, then went back to sit at his desk. It was clear by the bottle of whiskey and his glass, that he had been drinking.
"Well...to what do I owe this pleasure?" he sarcastically said. "Haven't you had enough of your accusations and came back to hurl more at me? I am in no mood for you right now."
Tumblr media
"Then why did you answer the door?"
"Sheer curiosity I suppose. I couldn't wait to see what I did this time."
He was clearly agitated and on his way to inebriation as his sarcasm grew.
'Narcisse...I have been thinking about what you said...and..it makes sense. I...I wanted to apologi..."
"You wanted to suck up to me so you could remain in my kingdom. The question is why? You can go on your merry way to Lorien with the miraculously resurrected elf or wherever the hell you so please and never have to see my soulless face again."
"That is not why I am here, well mostly...and..you told me once that you were not a soulless animal and I believed you."
"Ahhh, there's the key word. Believed. Past tense. Whyyy are you here?"
"I believe you. I...I was wrong. I know it was Catherine and I am sorry I accused you. Can you please believe me?"
"And why should I do that? So you can turn on me five minutes later like you did today after the moment we shared?"
"I know why that happened...the magic part anyways."
"Really, and here I thought that part was the kiss. Do tell, for now you have sparked my interest, pun intended." he quipped and poured himself another drink.
Tumblr media
"My powers...you're recharging them with yours. Just like when we met, I didn't have full use of them. I am a witch and so are you. I...tried them again and they still work.... Do you have any incense for that burner?"
Stephane sat his glass down expressively and humored you by taking some out of the drawer and put it in the small metal container.
"There...so now what?'
"Ok...watch."
You leaned down and touched it. Instantly it began to smoke with the smell of....lilacs, which caught you off guard for a moment. You hadn't smelled Thranduil's scent in so long.
Tumblr media
"There. You see?"
Narcisse stared at you flatly. "This...this is what you came to show me after what you are truly capable of? How impressive. Any witch can do that."
"Ok...just wait. Let me do something else."
He took a gulp of his whiskey and rolled his eyes in silence as he looked away from you.
"Big deal Jo, you got your powers back. Congratulations. I already figured it out as well while I sat here indulging in my only friend. I'm not up for a kiddie magic show. Save it for your upcoming birthday. The elves will love that."
"Can you please stop being so cold?"
"Like you were to me earlier??"
"Damn it Stephane, I said I was wrong and that I am sorry."
"Oh, well then that fixes everything. Shame on me for being hurt and not ready to forgive you."
"Wait a minute...how did you know about my birthday?"
"Because I told you I pay attention to the little things, but you obviously have forgotten that. Here I even had a little party planned for you to try and make you feel better. I even had a surprise for you. Is that what bad guy's do?"
"You're not a bad guy ok? I said I was wrong, what more do you want from me?"
"For you to leave me to drown in my sorrows. I don't care if you stay in my kingdom, do whatever you want. You can go now."
"Will you stop this and talk to me?"
"No time. There's a party tonight in the city and I need to get around for that. Big gambling event, as you know I like to gamble. Too bad I lost over your picture though. I suppose not every man desires you, although five of them is pretty impressive I must say."
"Damn it Stephane, stop it and look at me!!!"
He reluctantly rolled his eyes up to you and for a moment, you thought you had brought him out of his petulant stupor.
"Can't you even understand why I would be likely to think you were guilty?"
Tumblr media
"What the hell do you want Jo?" I am at my wits end with all of this, with everything...no, I cannot understand it after all I have done for you. Just go away."
"No...I don't want to leave you like this."
"Like what Jo!"
"Like this!! You're in a bad way and that liquid is not helping you. Whatever Catherine has done to you is getting worse and I am worried about you."
"Oh please Queen Josephine. I don't mean anything to you for you to worry about or it wouldn't have been so easy for you to tear into me like you did. I even rushed off to find that damn emerald. Why do that if I wanted the Marchwarden dead?"
"I hurt you, I get that. You know, you hurt me too with that drawing!"
"And I apologized for that and explained why I did it. I was trying to protect you. You don't have the same reasoning for what you did. Now respect my wishes and get out. I will not ask again."
Tumblr media
"I...I don't want to leave. I want to fix this."
"Fix what Jo??? What IS this that you want to fix?"
"I want to help you. I want to figure out how to break this spell that wretched woman placed on you. This...this is not you."
"You don't know me! Just like you said!! So take your counterfeit concern somewhere else. Go back to Legolas and play treehouse and you can pretend you never knew me which will probably be quite easy for you to do."
"Oh enough Stephane. Don't presume to know me either. You know nothing of my feelings."
"Oh but I do Jo...any fool can see the way you look at the former prince but they can also see that it's only because he resembles your late King. Then again, so do most of the white haired elves. I can't seem to tell them apart anymore."
"Shut up."
"What say you? But you wanted me to talk and I'm talking."
"This isn't talking. This is you being your notorious arrogant self with a side of asshole just like when we met. Maybe this is the real you and the spell has nothing to do with it after all!"
"And here I thought arrogant men were just your type. Well there it is...tell me how you REALLY feel Jo! Here let me help you. I'll never measure up to your Sindarin saint of a King or his son. Am I close?"
"You're lucky they are not here! Watch what you say about Thranduil or I'll...."
"I don't fear you! I don't fear your husband!! because without me or my magical touch, your powers disappear!" Narcisse snapped in rage.
Tumblr media
"And daddy isn't here to help you this time and your King is dead so he is of no threat to me!" he cruelly continued.
'SHUT UP! I command you to sh..."
"You command nothing!!" he screamed at you as he lurched forward in his chair.
Tumblr media
"You are no Queen here! You're just a weak little girl who's using me to get what you want. I think that's your real reason for wanting to stay here. I think you've known all along about the electric charge between us! I'm sure you can find some other warlock to suck the magic out of, now get out of my sight before I have you escorted out!"
Tears of rage welled up in your eyes as you glared him down.
"That is not true!!! I just figured it out moments ago!! and I am not weak! You also witnessed that moments ago!!"
"Only because it was forced out of you! and now all you can do is light a measly pile of incense! You are no witch! Go home Dorothy, to your tin man, scarecrow and lion king. Oh wait, you don't have a king of the forest anymore."
You felt it again, the searing heat beginning to flow through your blood, illuminating your eyes like the blazing sun and crawling out of cracks in your skin. The wind arose all throughout the room as you trembled in fury, death glaring the smirking warlock. Why the hell was he smiling at you?? Why was he not fighting back?
Tumblr media
As apoplectic as you were, you didn't want to hurt Narcisse. You just wanted him to shut his damn mouth and wipe that smug grin off of his haughty face.
"And THERE she is!!! The fiery and fierce femme fatale! You see? You've had the power in you all along Dorothy Gale." he cheered as he stood up, clapping his hands.
Your mouth dropped open as a tear fell from your burning eyes.
Tumblr media
"You...you did this on purpose. Your hurtful words... to bait me."
"Hurtful but true...and it worked like a charm."
"You...son of a bitch." you choked out through your tears and ran out the door.
Narcisse's heart fluttered in remorse as he continued to drink. He hated himself in that moment and what he had become. You were right, this was not him and he couldn't control it.
Tumblr media
He chugged down the remainder of his whiskey and headed out early for the night's big event, determined to blow off steam in any way possible and he knew just what would do the trick.
After the encounter with Narcisse, Claude had visited her mother in the dungeons in which she had to bribe the warlock guard in order to do so privately, for Narcisse wanted Catherine to have no contact with anyone so she couldn't play any more of her dirty tricks with inside help. A little flash of her breasts to the horny toad gained her entry, but only for five minutes, or she would have to do more for the eye ogling oaf.
"Ugh disgusting! Do you know what I had to do to see you?"
"I can only imagine. Nothing you haven't done before I'm sure. I hope you are here to tell me that the Lorien elf is no more?"
"I knew it! I knew it was you who poisoned him...and now, so does Narcisse."
"Hmmm, odd. I would have thought he would have came here raging at me by now."
"He has other problems to deal with now since your plan didn't work and Josie saved the handsome Haldir." Claude said as she smiled bashfully, for she had a little crush on him.
"Please tell me you are joking! and wipe that giddy smile off of your face!"
"Oh mother calm down. You might be pleased to know that Josie believes Stephane did it and gave him a shaming earful, so he told her and Haldir to leave and stormed out. I was in the hall and heard it all."
"Ohhhh really?? Well that's a lovely turn of events...but...still, the wretched girl got off easy, again! Where is Narcisse now?"
"Last I heard, he was going to the city tonight for the quarterly gambling event with Charles."
"That is no place for my son. I know what goes on there in the cellar. Men ripping each other limb from limb..and? all for money."
Tumblr media
"I'll never understand why your brother has taken such a liking to him. I suppose Charles looks up to him as a father figure. Just another reason that home wrecking girl needs to pay for what she's done. Have you done as I asked and placed the spell on the vampire??"
"First of all Mother, you act as if you and Narcisse were some united front and in love. It should have come as no shock to you that he would stray. He's quite notorious for that in which you knew."
"That does not matter! He was mine! Now have you done it or not?"
"No! What if his coven retaliates?? Or Josie even?? Have you ever stopped to think of that? I saw what she can do with her power!"
"She is no match for me. I will get out of here and handle her, but you, you WILL do what I have asked. Actually, I am no longer asking, I am ordering you to handle the blood sucker now! Or I will handle you as well."
"Times up, unless you have more payment for me." the greedy guard grinned as he came back in.
"You touch my daughter and I'll make sure your cock ends up in the same box as Asher's." Catherine threatened.
He glared at Catherine and escorted Claude out.
Claude went back to her room and reluctantly got the spell book out, opening it to the bookmarked page, then she fetched the phial of dead man's blood....Asher's.
Following all of the instruction as her mother had told her to cautiously do, she began chanting the incantation word for word and inserted Garrett's name.
As she poured the liquid onto the page as it stated to do, smoke instantly flowed off of it.
Just then, Merlin jumped up onto the desk and hissed at her.
Tumblr media
Gasping in fear, Claude slammed the book shut and ran out of her room before speaking the last entry.
Garrett was on his way to see you when he was summoned by Amara's male faerie with orders to come to the Seelie Court...and bring his guitar. The woman just plain creeped him out after his last interaction with her, but he knew he better go. The last thing he needed or wanted was to see her teeth again, biting into him instead of an apple.
Back inside his castle he went, secured his guitar in the case and flew off to come see you first, so you knew where he was going.
When Garrett arrived in Dorwinion, he saw you sitting by the bay...crying. He could smell and hear you from afar and flew as fast as he could to get to you.
Garrett landed softly so that he wouldn't startle you, but you immediately picked his maple scent flowing in the breeze and jumped up.
He sat his guitar down slowly without taking his eyes off of you as you burst into tears and sprinted into his awaiting arms.
"Garrett!" you sobbed, burying your face in his chest.
"Josephine, sweetheart, what is wrong?" he asked as he cradled you so tight.
Tumblr media
"Everything...where have you been?"
"I have been around, guarding you. I just didn't want to crowd you. I figures if you wanted to see me, you would call for me."
You wouldn't let go of him. His arms were like a safety belt, snug and secure.
"I'm so sorry I've been distant. There's so much on my mind...and things have happened..."
"I know...like I said, I've been around."
You quickly pulled your head back to look up at him, somewhat worried as to what he has seen or heard.
"You...you've been listening to my thoughts...haven't you? That's why you said you don't want to crowd me. Garrett...I can explain...."
"Josephine...you don't owe me any explanations. I understand your reservations about me. How could I blame you after what I have done and...after what happened at the Seelie Court...and then of course I had to go and open my big mouth and tell you that I....well you know..."
Considering that was all he mentioned, you peered up at him, wondering if he knew about Asher. The sad look in his eyes told you that he did.
"Garrett...other...things have happened."
He then verified your suspicions. "I know...about Asher and that you killed him."
"If you knew, then why didn't you come to me?"
"Because you had Narcisse."
You somehow knew that would be his response. What else did he know?
"Garrett, he was just there. Haldir was in the city when it happened and I didn't want to call for you with all of that blood on me."
"I have more control than you give me credit for. I never would have hurt you."
"I never thought for a minute that you would. I just thought it would be too much for you...I guess I...didn't want to see you like that."
"A cold blooded killer like I am?"
"Garrett, you know what I mean."
He began to deflect again. "Well anyways, I just came to tell you that Amara has summoned me to the Court by that touchy feely faerie man of hers. I don't know why, so I wanted to come here and tell you where I was in case I turned up on a milk carton."
"You've probably been on one for decades now." you chuckled.
"You got me there."
"Well...I am going with you then."
"What? No, Josephine. I don't want you around that freaky faerie again and besides, she didn't invite you so she may get a all snaggle tooth happy again."
"Oh Garrett." you smiled and hugged him. "I have so missed your quirky self. Is the big bad vamp afraid of a little girl? And...I'm going.. your powers don't work in her realm."
You released him and started walking towards the forest.
"Neither do yours and....Uhhh, yes! yes I am. She's no little girl. She's Annabelle creation...Josephine, what about Leean?"
"My powers have returned by the way and Haldir and Lola are with her and he knows I wanted some time alone. Now, let's go fright night." you laughed.
"Yes your majesty....and that wasn't funny."
You stuck close against Garrett as you both trekked through the dark forest. Even with your magic and a powerful vampire at hand, you still feared the enchanted sea of trees, for it weakened any being of light after too much exposure.
Garrett on the other hand was immune to it, but just before you both got to the entrance of Amara's court, he began to stumble.
"Garrett?? What's wrong?" you asked as you quickly clutched onto him.
"I...I don't know. Guess I tripped maybe..."
"Garrett Lee. Vampires don't trip, nor do they perspire....and I know it's not the forest... Did you....eat before you came?"
"Yes. I...lack of rest then, I suppose. Vampires DO need rest."
"That doesn't explain why you're sweating."
"Josephine, I am fine. Let's get inside before Amara sends magic Mike out to find me."
You chuckled and followed him inside, praying this visit would go much better than the last one.
It was the usual greeting, being fondled by the faerie man Garrett didn't like, checking for weapons as Amara sat silently watching.
"Why is the witch here? I summoned only you."
"It's not his fault. I wanted to come." you quickly answered to defend Garrett.
Her eyes slitted at you for a moment, and then she smiled.
"Very well. The more, the merrier for the daylighter's concert."
Garrett coughed. "Uh, the what?"
"You're a musician aren't you, daylighter rockstar? And you said you would come play for me sometime, and that sometime is today. Why else would I have you bring your instrument?"
"Yes...I guess I wasn't prepared is all."
"I have great confidence you will do just fine. Come."
Garrett leaned in and whispered to you. "I'm glad she has nothing better to do, unlike some of us."
You nudged him with your elbow and gave him a shut the hell up look.
"Oh but I do...and you'll see that in due time." Amara relayed as she side eyed Garrett before sitting down.
He gulped in realization of her keen hearing that he wasn't thinking about. In fact, his train of thought was a bit awry.
'Apologies your majesty. I'm not feeling...quite myself today."
You looked at him in concern over his admittance of it. Something was definitely off with your always alert and sensible vampire.
"Please, help yourselves to the fruit before we get started.
You did just that and snatched a handful of grapes like the last time. They were like gigantic cherries to you in how sweet like candy they were, your favorite.
Garrett got out his guitar and held it while Amara ogled him with her eyes. Did she have a thing for him, you wondered?
"So...you brought me here to Seelieville solely to play for you?"
"Realm....and that's not the reason I invited you into my...realm."
Tumblr media
"Then, why am I here?"
"Why don't you play for me first, and then we will get to that part."
"I...I don't even know what to play. As I said, I wasn't prepared."
"I am sure an experienced musician such as yourself does not need preparation. Just play something off the top of your head."
You could tell Garrett was extremely nervous as he gave you a glance. Almost as if he were shy, to play in front of you.
"Hey...you can do it. I've never hear you play yet and I would really love to. Just take a breath and relax, then pick something that...I don't know, means something to you. Maybe that will make it easier?" you sweetly told him to help him out as you rubbed his arm.
Amara gave a look to one of her female servants who then came up behind Garrett and began to massage his neck, in which he did not like one bit...nor did you really.
"Whoa, hey. Don't do that." he snapped as he swiftly shrugged his shoulders to make her stop.
Tumblr media
Amara eyes her to leave him and so she did. You placed your hand on his knee, in which he didn't mind your touch at all.
"It's ok...you got this." you said with a smile and a wink as you stared into his eyes, which were now a relaxed blue as his dilated pupils retracted.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
"Ok..." he heavily sighed. "This song is called...Iris."
"Oh, the Goo Goo Dolls? I really love their music." Amara said in a perky tone. "Proceed.."
Garrett cleared his throat and gave another nervous glance at you, then began to play....and sing, which, his voice blew you away. It was so powerful and perfect and gave you instant goosebumps all over your body.
(Enjoy my new vidfic of Garrett and Josie below. The song is Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls and covered by Nate Vickers...but let's pretend it is Garrett 😉😍)
youtube
You caught on real quick that the song did indeed mean something to him as you listened to the lyrics and watched his expressions. You knew the song well, but to hear it from him was different. The lyrics took on a whole 'nother story....his life...and you.
The Seelie Queen and her Seelie sidekick sat gleefully enjoying the song as all eyes were frozen on Garrett the entire time.
Tumblr media
All of your doubts about him disappeared in that moment...to see him so vulnerable and in touch with his feelings and who he was. You've seen him rarely in similar ways, but nothing compared to this....and his eyes...they were gleaming with tears that he kept from falling....but yours, they fell freely.
"Garrett....that...that was so beautiful. I..I didn't know you could sing like that." you praised him as you were starstruck to say the least.
"Yes, daylighter, that was very impressive. I knew you had it in you. How about some wine?"
Garrett was getting antsy which was unlike him. "How about you just tell me why I am really here? and then I would like to go."
"I have not given you permission to leave. There are things that must be...handled."
Garrett stood up and put his guitar in it's case, then whipped it closed.
"No...we are going now. Come on Josephine."
"I'm sorry but that will not do. Your time has come daylighter. There's no use in resisting. Your powers do not work in my realm."
Tumblr media
"And what is that supposed to mean?! I wish to leave, now!" he snapped.
"Garrett, please, calm down."
"No Josephine. I will not CALM down. This is insane. I have done everything you have asked of me Amara and now you are treating me as if...well as if you want to harm me."
"Take him to the wander woods."
Tumblr media
Her guards came and detained him as he struggled with no superhuman strength to fend them off.
"Stop it! What are you doing Amara?? Let him go!!!" you shouted and grabbed one of the guards, but were quickly also reprimanded by more Seelies.
"The fucking what?? Get your hands off of her!" Garrett reeled as they drug you both off.
"Josephine!!"
"Garrett!!"
Thranduil laid immobile, his eyes in the form of an eclipse, lost in some trance like state that he had been in for some time now....and now that his mind had been opened, it was taking him somewhere beyond his control. He couldn't move, nor even blink as he saw himself in the form of a vividly blinding light, soaring above middle earth to a destination unknown....

Where the Star Collide
A winged stranger suddenly appears in the dining hall of the House of Wind, speaking an unknown language. The Inner Circle takes her in and nurses her back to health. When she awakens, she challenges everything they think they know.
Chapter 1
The Fields of Glory’s wildflowers stretched across the horizon, and the scent of the cherry blossoms and iron filled the air. To Amirah, this place had been her paradise , a place of tranquility. The field lay in a valley between the mountains of Pal-Nor. The majestic mountain heads stretched above the clouds. On any usual day, the song of the Chorum bird would pierced the air, but today, today- she watched as her world burned. The battle had raged on for what seemed like an eternity to the Princess of the First born. Her people had been taken by surprise in the middle of the night. Theyd gotten the women and children to safety beyond the barrier and sealed it, the men stayed to buy their families some time. Amirah, Mora and Neela stayed behind to fight with their mates. Many of her kinsmen had already fallen before the King during the battle- including her sisters Mora and Neela, and her twin brother Kanik. Their body's still lay where they had fallen. She and her husband Colandr had been brought before the King. Her left wing throbbed and hung losely from its joint, her body ached from the beatings. In her weakened state, she was no match for the King or his soldiers. She looked to her husband, he was missing one of his honey colored eyes, his black wings had been ripped off his back leaving a mangled wound that was still bleeding profusely.
“You have refused to give me what I want” the man on the makeshift throne said.
Her husband raised his head, "I have no idea where Korchei's Gate is. Nor do I know how to open it to travel worlds." Lies.
The man turned to her, “Tell me Princess, or you and your mate will die.” Tears ran down her face as she shook her head, wincing at the pain the movement caused.
The red haired woman at the kings right hand bared her teeth at Amirah. The war had changed Amaratha into a cruel monster. She had once been her best friend, but they'd both chosen different sides. And it pained her.
He sighed and shook his head. He glanced at the soldier and nodded. They seized her and forced her to stand. The man wrapped a hand around her throat and held a knife to her stomach.
Colandr, I love you, my moon and stars. I'll see you in the Land beyond the stars.
“Tell us or your wife shall die” the King barked to her husband.
“Please spare her,” he begged, struggling against his chains. "She's your daughter."
The king shrugged "So were Neera and Mora, you all chose to betray me. Your KING."
I won't let you die Amirah. He told her. She felt his resolve and realized what he planned to do.
No, no Colandr, please. Don't make me live in a world you aren't in please. Don't sacrifice yourself. She begged him.
Black dots clouded her vision as blinding hot pain shot through her stomach and she cried out feeling the knife peirce her.
“Noo!” an inhuman roar ripped from her husband's Colandr’s mouth as he struggled against his chains.
From her side, she felt her blood flow down her body. The soldier removed the knife, then stabbed it into her again. She screamed in pain as she heard Colandr voice start chanting the spell. Tendrils of white light snaked their way around her body and she cried out.
Colandr please
I love you my sun, moon and stars he whispered
I love you too She thought as he sunk to his knees. An inhuman roar ripped again from his throat as he used all his magic to winnow her away.
The darkness surrounded her and a voice whispered Where do you want to go?
I want to be with my mate she replied.
She was barely conscious when the world changed around her. Looking through bloodied eyes, she saw a dining hall, with figures around a table. 2 winged males and 1 blond female in red. She felt her knees buckle underneath her, and she sank to the floor. She heard a shout and felt arms wrap around her. She met the honey colored eyes of the man that held her, "Col-," she whispered as the darkness overcame her.

Twisted Fate
A winged stranger suddenly appears in the Woodlands of Velaris, speaking an unknown language. The inner Circle take her in and nurse her back to health. When she awakens, she challenges everything they thought they knew.

“Noo!” an inhuman roar ripped from her husband's Colandr’s mouth as he struggled against his chains.
From her side, she felt her blood flow down her body. The soldier removed the knife, then stabbed it into her again. She screamed in pain as she heard Colandr voice start chanting the spell. Tendrils of white light snaked their way around her body and she cried out. Colandr please
I love you my sun, moon and stars he whispered
I love you too She thought as he sunk to his knees. An inhuman roar ripped again from his throat as he used all his magic to open the gate.
Then darkness and shadows surrounded her.
A voice whispered to her Where do you want to go?
I want to be with my mate she replied.
She was barely consious when the world changed around her. Looking through bloodied eyes, she saw a dining hall, with figures around a table. 2 winged males and 1 blond female in red. She felt her knees buckle under neath her and she sank to the floor.
She heard a shout and felt arms wrap around her. She met the honey colored eyes of the man that held her, "Col-" she whispered as the darkness overcame her.

Howdy, I was wondering if you could do some general Sairon and/Melkor date headcanons? Where would they take an s/o? Or what would a dream date look like? That sort of thing. Thank you!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
( ❀ ) ˙ ˖ mairon, melkor ( separately ) ⠀〳 reader⠀ ❜࿔
· ⊰ synopsis. what kind of date would the dark lords take their s/o on?
· ⊰ note. of course! admittedly, I did struggle a bit with melkor tho aha
( masterlist ) ( taglist form )
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ MAIRON 
ʚ Most likely would take you out to some sort of flowerfield, as fluffy as that sounds. Something away from the usual visual of fire and darkness - he likes changing things up a bit 
ʚ Mairon can be a passionate lover, just he tends to have a difficult time showing it at times. Dates are when he lets himself loose a bit and most likely where you receive most of his affection 
ʚ He remembers back to what Aulë would do with Yavanna and more often than not that was to have a picnic with her in her realm which is exactly what he decided to do when it came to you. Minus Yavanna’s realm, of course
 ʚ You were a little surprised and rightfully so, but hey, you got a cute little date out of the usually fearless maia. You couldn’t help but tease him a little about it to which he would playfully threaten to have your next picnic beside a volcano instead 
ʚ Plays with your hair while you lay your head in his lap, eating strawberries and wondering where he got actual and normal food 
ʚ If he’s in a good enough mood he may even lull you to sleep with a soft song. Before scooping you up in his arms and resting in the flowerfield with you. He needed the break from Angband 
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ MELKOR 
ʚ Absolutely had no idea what to do when it came to dates. He tried to think back on what the Vala did with their lovers - dinners seemed to be a common denominator 
ʚ So that’s what he did. He got some of his servants to cook food and set up a dining hall in Angband where the two of you could enjoy your time together 
ʚ Yes he knows that this wasn’t something like a romantic date beside the ocean or whatever but hey, he’s trying. He’s not exactly the romantic type after all 
ʚ Would make sure that your favourite food was made and would also ensure that nothing weird was on the table, he didn’t want you freaking out by seeing something like an eyeball
ʚ Honestly, it would be quite casual. The two of you would have dinner and reminisce about the past. After, he’d take you on a little walk along the mountains and volcanoes 
ʚ Again, Melkor isn’t really the romantic type but he tries when it comes to you at the very least

Bracket B thoughts:
"Yodel-Aadle-Eedle-Idle-Oo" is better than I expected from the movie's reputation, but I really only have so much tolerance for yodeling. Also the lines "You'll suffer till the end of time / Enduring tortures, most of which rhyme" from "Robot Hell" are hilarious.
...It's fucking "In the Hall of the Mountain King." I don't need to explain that one.
"Kidnap the Sandy Claws" isn't as bad as I remembered it being, but the verses that don't rhyme really irk me for some reason, and Lock+Shock+Barrel's singing is just...not great. So I'll give this one to "Big Shot."
"Wait for It," I will begrudgingly admit, is a good song. It's not the best villain song in that matchup, though. It's not even Burr's best villain song (that would be "The Room Where It Happens"). "Want You Gone" still very clearly has GLaDOS' trademark condescension, snark, and vitriol towards Chell, but it's also mixed with her complicated need for her to be around that adds a lot of emotional nuance to her insulting goodbye. Does she really want Chell gone because she's a pain in the ass, or because she knows keeping her in Aperture will hurt her? Does she want Chell to stay to keep testing her, or because she's her only friend? Honestly, probably some of both columns. GLaDOS has very good villain songs.
"Magic Dance" just feels like an excuse to have David Bowie do David Bowie things while singing a David Bowie song alongside minions whose singing...really sucks. "Meant to Be Yours" is a really intense encapsulation of JD's character, swinging from slow, emotional expressions of love to fast-paced, aggressive vows of violence.
"Great at Crime" is just a fucking bop, IDK. It's very catchy and goofy (in an intentional way).
Both "The Mob Song" and "Biggering" are very good, honestly. Personal preference for me.
Have you heard that guitar in "E.G.G.M.A.N"?! That shit SLAPS. It makes the phrase "I am the Eggman" sound cool.
"Look Away" is...really just not a Villain Song. Doesn't focus on Olaf enough. "There Ain't Nothin But Bad Days Ahead" is not exactly what I'd call good, but it's more fitting for this tournament.
...fuck IDK, I voted for "Who Will Know" because it seemed underappreciated, but I get why "Nothing Left to Lose" is winning. That one is really good. Maybe I should have gone for that instead.
All of the IEYTD theme songs kick ass and "Cog in the Machine" is no exception. Those vocals are powerful and emotional and very good.
"Love Doesn't Stand A Chance" confuses me because it has Regina calling Snow White a "bitch," but also can't show her doing any villainy more intense than childish mayhem like ripping a grandma's knitting and pushing a dwarf over. The tone is very confused. Also, Jeremy Jordan sings the English version of "Hurricane" and I'm a sucker for him belting about justice.
"Les Poissons" is...fine. But "Hero" and the scene it accompanies are some of the few things I actually like about RWBY, which says a lot about how good that song is.
"Heffalumps and Woozles" is not about actual villains but mere products of Pooh's imagination, so I am disqualifying it in my books on the same grounds as "Look Away." Also, "The Hounds" is pretty damn good.
I really appreciate the sheer drama of Raphael singing his own damn boss theme, and I honestly could not give a shit about that rich white girl.
I always like a good Weird Al, and "Let The Pun Fit the Crime" is very good, but "The Pitiful Children" had already seared itself in my brain as one of my favorite villain songs.
I’m right there with in Great at Crime. Epithet Erased songs are just so good lyrically.

Various Hello Puppets headcanons #2
Hello everyone, I have some more headcanons I would like to share. Again, this is a mess of headcanons, and some might show up in my main fic. Mainly fun/wholesome stuff, but some darker stuff as well
Daisy knows “Scandinavian”, and what I mean by that is that she knows a mix between Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish, cuz back in the show days they didn’t have the best translator on the team, so it just became a mess 
Riley probably knows german, she just has the vibes, you know
Mortimer knows Latin, as well as Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek (those were the languages the spell book was written in)
Nick knows a lot of languages and picks up new ones pretty easily. He mainly uses it so he can enjoy plays and music in its original language
I think Nick would like the play “Peer Gynt” by Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen, cuz it’s a very interesting and dramatic story, and everything is actually said in rhyme. I feel like Daisy helped him translate it from Norwegian. If you have no clue what I am talking about, you have probably heard the song “in the hall of the mountain king” which is from this play
Riley is a coffee “addict”, but the only times she can get it is when she steals from people she kidnaps to become hosts. She is very happy puppets can’t die of caffeine overdose, or else she would be on thin ice- Edit: I have been reminded of Riley cola by @lookineedsleep so yeah, Riley being caffeine addicted is pretty much canon
Mortimer is really good at card games, and knows all the card tricks there are to know
Riley hides away whenever she feels strong emotions, either positive or negative. Either she smiles or cries, she will turn her back to everyone in the room, trying to hide her true emotions. She tends to shake tho when her emotions are negative, so you can usually tell. The reason she hides away is because “she is a woman of science, and shouldn’t let her emotions get to her”, it’s a way for her to rationalize why she does it to herself (her emotions are also used against her in canon so-)
All the puppets would probably appreciate a weighted blanket, I think they need that. Personally, I wish I had one, I think it would solve a lot of my problems, and therefore I am projecting it onto them
Riley would be so pissed when she finds out Pluto is no longer classified as a planet (and who can blame her? Viva la Pluto)
Scout enjoys stop motion movies, she thinks it’s a very neat way of making movies, and knowing how much effort and care and how many hours go into it, she appreciates it more than many other movies 
If the Handeemen had known that Scout was made by Owen, she would have been treated completely differently, regardless of if they knew why she was created
I think the funniest family dynamic you can have with these puppets is that the Handeemen are the siblings close in age, while Scout is the “surprise baby” years later. Like that one video: “Do you want a beer?” “Dude, he’s four.” “I don’t know, what am I supposed to do with him????”
All the Handeemen steal from hotels if they visit them. Nick would probably steal soaps and lotions if they smell good. Daisy would take the drinks in the mini-fridge (you usually have to pay for it so). Mortimer just takes all the tea in the breakfast area. Riley and Scout would steal the weirdest stuff and get away with it, like they take the shower head or the remote control for the tv. Scout has stolen the entire tv at least 3 times as well (kudos to the Culteemen (specifically @dreamland-creations and @yourlocalnicknackkinnie) for this headcanon)
Riley adores astronomy! You can't tell me this lady wouldn't love stars, galaxies, and everything in the night sky. She is practically the only one who leaves the studio anyway (to kidnap hosts, and only during the night), and when she manages to take small breaks, she just watches the stars that are visible. She has wanted to start making a star map for so long, but has never gotten the time, and there are barely any good star-watching spots near the studio (there's a lot of light pollution in the area)
Since Riley is the one leaving (and kidnapping) the most, she is also the one most physically harmed of the Handeemen. She has some scratches, a couple of dents, and of course her mouth injury (but that was caused inside the studio). She also picks on her fingers, so they are pretty damaged, which is why she constantly wears her gloves to minimize the damage and not show it to the others
Riley and Scout when they are not enemies are the best and most chaotic duo. Being with Scout allows Riley to infodump a lot about different things she is researching/experimenting with at the moment, and in turn, Scout can infodump about shows and games. Scout might tease Riley about her liking Lord of the rings, but she loves the series too much as well to actually be hurtful with it (*sobs in my headcanons that Riley would have been a great older sister/mentor for Scout, but I know it will never be canon*)
Scout never sleeps a full 8 hours, but also takes naps throughout the day so she technically gets enough sleep. She sleeps the best around her host (Bee in my au), as they are the safest person she knows
Riley does not get enough sleep, ever. All the Handeemen have had to force her to go to sleep before, Daisy mainly does this task tho
The rest of them have pretty decent sleep schedules tho, except for the occational sleepless night they all experience
I think it's obvious by now who my favorites are… Scout and Riley my beloveds
Headcanon asks are very much open, feel free to ask my stuff^^

do you have any king au crumbs you'd share with us pretty please? :)
first of all this cover of The Pretender is such a king au song and second of all:
It was Sebastian's job to be observant. He stayed by the far wall of the great hall and kept an eye on the congregated guests – lords and ladies from all across the land, gathered at the invitation of the king. All weapons had been left at the door bar the king's own guards, one of which was Sebastian himself. He wasn't wearing armor, but his dress was reinforced leather rather than fine silk or velvet; his sword hung at his side.
Sir Jenson brushed past him on one of his own rounds. "Calm night," he commented wryly. "Sometimes it feels like we aren't even earning our bread here."
Sebastian shook his head and knocked his sword scabbard against Jenson's. "You'd rather there'd be a knockout brawl to defend the king from harm here in this hall?" he said. "You know that would mean we hadn't done our job at all."
"Oh come on, you're trying to tell me the Mountain Wolf isn't dying to put his teeth in something?" Jenson said, with his trademark sly grin and easy cheer.
Sebastian glanced around the hall again. He saw the king deep in discussion with the clan leader from Rôt Stior. His royal purple sash highlighted the breadth of his shoulders, and the circlet of gold on his dark brow gleamed in the candlelight. As Sebastian watched, he saw Lewis's ironclad composition betrayed by just the smallest twitch of his hand. A flex of ring-clad fingers, stretched out, and then curled back into a fist.
"We don't always get what we want," Sebastian said and crossed his arms, leaning back against the stone wall.
"Ain't that right," Jenson said and sniffed. "Well, I'm going to patrol past the snack table, pick something up. You ought to take a pass too, get your teeth in some food if nothing else."
And with that Jenson ambled on, on his long legs. His height made him easy to unhorse, Sebastian thought, but all the more dangerous when it came to a sword fight. 
Sebastian flexed his own hand, wishing to grab the handle of his sword just to remind himself of its weight. Such a move would draw attention though, so he refrained.
He'd gotten good at refraining. 
But it was Sebastian's job to be observant. Something about the current of people changed in the room—instead of moving with the people, someone cut through the throng, aimed right for the king. Instinct had Sebastian pushing off the wall to intercept before he could even form the thought— but it was only Lord Rosberg, one of the king's confidantes, politely inserting himself between Lewis and the Stior leader to get a word in.
Sebastian saw that flex in Lewis's fingers again, a glimmer of rings, and kept going. He came within earshot just to hear Sir Nico say, "—and so I think it would be in the interests of both out clans, to move the tournament to our hold, since it would afford the king more time to prepare matters of state."
"Of course hosting the tournament is a great honor, Lord Rosberg," the Stior leader said, a bit acidly.  His eyes flicked between Lewis and Nico, as if trying to gauge where the impetus of this matter had originated.
Sebastian, who never had been good at masking his feelings, made a face.
"My liege," he said. Lewis turned his head, and Sebastian imagined that his clever and inquisitive gaze turned warm. He cleared his throat. "There's an urgent matter that needs to be seen to. I apologize, gentlemen."
Sebastian bowed, hastily and not fully to form, for the two lords. Lewis glanced at them both and nodded. "You must excuse me," he said, with his level voice. He then looked back at Sebastian, who beckoned him to step into the antechamber beside his throne at the far wall of the hall.
As Sebastian let the door to the antechamber fall shut, cutting off the noise from the great hall, he watched some tension leech out of Lewis's shoulders.
"Well?" Lewis said and turned once more to Sebastian, this time with a small smile. "What matter is so urgent?"
"Just that you seemed about ready to take a swing at Lord Horner," Sebastian said. "You know, it's my job to see that no violence is enacted within the great hall during a feast."
A peal of laughter escaped Lewis, mirth making his brown eyes glitter. "Oh, Sebastian," he said and reached out to grasp Sebastian's shoulder. He could feel the weight of the rings, even through the leather of his dress. "Thank you. Your powers of observation are unmatched."
Sebastian gave a crooked grin. "It's what you pay me for, my king," he said. "Take a breath, and I could get you some food, to keep you on your feet for the rest of the night."
"No, thank you Sebastian," Lewis said with a sigh and let go of his shoulder to rub at his forehead. "I'm afraid I can't linger. There are matters I must see to." He sighed again and looked at the back door longingly. Through it, he would be able to slip unseen back to his chambers.
"I'm not saying linger," Sebastian said and reached out to touch Lewis's arm, when Lewis reached for the door back to the great hall. "I'm saying take a moment. Surely, you can afford a moment."
Lewis looked at Sebastian's hand and then into Sebastian's eyes. Sebastian imagined he could see that same longing Lewis had had for the door out of here. "Would that I could," Lewis said. His eyes slipped down to Sebastian's mouth, a flutter of eyelashes, before he looked back up. "People will talk."
"People," Sebastian said with a scoff. "What do they know."
"Nevertheless," Lewis said with another sigh, and pushed the door open and walked out. Sebastian followed. Of course he did.
When he took up station by the far wall again, he could see Sir Nico Rosberg excuse himself again to get Lewis's attention. It was Sebastian's job to be observant. He saw the glance Nico shot his way, and the venom in his eyes when he turned Lewis away made a cold little tendril grasp at Sebastian's spine.

Ten Lines Game
Thank you so much for the tag, @starryeyes2000!
Rules: Pick any ten of your fics, scroll to the midpoint, pick a line (or three or more) then share it. Tag others if you want.
You know, I have exactly ten fics, though eight are one-shots. 😂
From The Wings of Blue Butterflies (Tolkien-verse book-verse, multiple Ages):
Even more years came and went before Tom chanced upon the nightingale-singer once more. She sat with her maidens by the bend of the River-under-Shade flowing through the ancient forest, within mighty gates that led to cavernous halls of stone, weaving a great tapestry wherein were threaded deeds and many things past. She was clad in rich garments, with a circlet of gold upon her dark head and a delicate brooch of many-hued blue gems on her shoulder.
From Of Glass and Stars (LotR book-verse gapfiller):
The lake's surface was smooth as polish and dark, unbelievably dark. Hard as he had squinted, he could see no bottom, only a vastness of midnight-blue plunging down, down, forever. It was like trying to make out nonexistent shapes in the pitch-black of night. No ray of sunlight from above shimmered on the surface, but the mountains and a bit of bright sky cast their reflections on the blue water. And instead of his own likeness staring back at him, there were stars: pinpricks of pure white brilliance shining up from an unfathomable depth.
From The Sails are Set (LotR book-verse gapfiller):
Years and circumstances had matured him, and he had settled down to a respectable life in his parental home. And then a wizard and thirteen Dwarves had whisked him off to his first real adventure, kindling a fire within him that would not abate. And afterwards, even though he had resumed his old life in the Shire, the want to travel and know more of the wide world stayed with him, and he was changed.
From The Fifth Day (LotR book-verse gapfiller):
At last she saw him emerge and, as his eyes found hers, a touch of joy lifted her spirit. Too long she had lived with no close friends about her – her acquaintances, her own brother even, understood little of her soul, were blind to the invisible shackles binding her. This man, the late Steward Denethor's secondborn, had within moments perceived what others could not: that her maid's body was a prison, condemning her to mean tasks, robbing her of true freedom.
From Bedtime Stories (LotR Fourth Age book-verse gapfiller):
Fidgeting in bed, little Caradoc turned to his mother. "I have found the most pretty presents for you and Papa," he said excitedly, curly locks bouncing on his shoulders.
"And your Mama and I are looking forward to discovering what they are."
The young hobbit beamed as his father entered the room and came to sit by him on the bed. Then he frowned, gaze fixed on his parent's forehead. "Papa, how did you get that mark? It looks bad."
From Hallowed Waters (The Silmarillion book-verse gapfiller):
She halted and gazed at it long, a smile softening her face. After a while she drew nearer and looked up at the alder-trees by the water, feeling a gentle breeze upon her skin. She began to sing, a song of peace and growth, but when her eyes turned to the lake, she saw its surface was stained red.
From Beyond The North Stair (LotR book-verse gapfiller):
He had been young, a Lord of the Dúnedain journeying to the land of his forefathers, and eagerly ascended the many steps to the stone chair. When he had settled into its cold embrace, he had looked about him, west and south and east, seeing the wide plains of Rohan, and the High City where Anárion had been King, and the black mountains of Mordor.
From A Bit of History (LotR Fourth Age book-verse gapfiller):
The girl went with him and gazed at the clutter on the desk curiously. "What are you writing?" She looked up at the fair-haired elderly hobbit.
From my current version of Edged in Silver (LotR canon-compliant OC story):
As the young woman reached her destination, a hum went up from afar. It rose steadily to a clamour and cheering. She looked over the shrubbery that was the border of the Houses. Two horsemen appeared through the gate to the sixth level, followed by a press of people.
From From the Sidelines (TVD, canon-divergent-after-season-6 OC story):
Claire kept thinking about those words after they had hung up. She recalled what Sheila had told her about her Occult studies class. Most picked it because it seemed cool. Bonnie might have thought the same, but deep down she had begun to believe. After the initial shock wore off, she would take action.
Tagging: @thecharmedburrowspn-files @darknightfrombeyond @bi-ologistofthehills @sunlitscribe @waterloou @asirensrage @stachedocs @bobfloydsbabe @joaquinwhorres @illegalcerebral @bluejay-in-flight @bluebell-winter @darthnell @nejires-hado @carmens-garden @juliaswickcrs, and anyone else who wants to join in the fun! @ me!
