161 - A Christmas Wish

What do I want for Christmas?, I asked myself And the only thing That came into My mind Was spending undisturbed time With you, Listening to music, Warming coffee And the softness Of dancing voices Hovering in the room.

Your hand in mine And I am peaceful Like never before. Just one moment Now And forever.

I sat in the chair Jenkins had brought into the annex, knees tucked up to my chest as I looked over the information Cassandra had brought in. The clippings book lay open on her most recent mission. It had been quiet since she got back. Everyone finally had a moment to relax. The pain in my gut made me lean my head against my knees. A soft hand on my back made me breathe out shakily.

“I’m ok.” I said, lifting my head to meet jenkins’ eye. “I’m ok.” He nodded as Flynn came bounding into the room.

“Hello.” He said, smiling at Jenkins and kissing me on the cheek. I gave him a shaky smile as Jenkins withdrew to his section of the table.

“hi.” I whispered as Flynn perched on the arm of the chair. “What’s got you back so soon? Thought you were still looking for the library.” He shrugged as he tried to get me to lean into him. Instead, I winced and got up quickly. Realizing my mistake, I wrapped my arms around myself and hurried off to the bathroom. I could just hear Flynn ask Jenkins what was wrong with me.

“they’ve been in so much pain they’re nauseous.” I heard Jenkins say. I made it to the bathroom and pulled the trash can closer just in case. I inspected my jeans as I sat on the toilet, willing everything to stop. I frowned when I saw a patch of red on my underwear and slowly shuffled my way out of the soiled garments. Opening the door under the sink, I smiled to myself to see the replacement pairs the annex knew I needed.

“thanks.” I whispered to the empty room. After the pain and nausea had passed, I left the bathroom and made my way back. “Sorry.” I muttered as I took up my previous position. Flynn wrapped his arms around me from behind and kissed my head. Jenkins smiled softly at me and left the room.

“I’m going to say it aloud. Since we both know it.” Flynn started. “I don’t have much experience with this. My relationships never really turned this serious or lasted long enough that I…” he cleared his throat awkwardly. I rubbed his hand where it rested on my collarbone. “Jenkins filled me in. Why are you still working here if you are in that much pain? Go home. I would have come to you.”

“everyone else needed me.” I responded. “Jake is checking into something on his own. Ezekiel needs someone to stop him from stealing every priceless artifact. Cassandra…” I trailed off. “Jenkins always needs help cataloging and researching. Eve went off looking for you. And you…” Flynn kissed my head. “Someone had to be here to keep the light burning.”

“we’re going home.” He said softly. “Come on. Jenkins already fixed the door.” I took his hand and stood up slowly. “You’re going to have to help me through your routine and making sure that you feel ok. But I’m willing to do whatever it takes to help.” I nodded as Flynn set the dial and our apartment appeared on the other side of the door.

“thank you.” I muttered as Flynn and I walked through, being forced to bed as soon as we closed the door. Flynn kissed me softly again before running off to get whatever it was Jenkins had told him would help.

It's Taylor Swift release day so here's my ranking of all her albums that no one cares about.

1. evermore - subjective perfection. It's as if someone produced a perfect mixture of what I want Taylor to sound like. Incredible, it's a shame she didn't stick to that vibe. Cowboy like me is her best song. She should fire Antonoff and just stick with Dessner.

2. folklore - just slightly behind evermore. It's the one that got me into her music. Wonderful songwriting, great production. Also all the songs are easy to learn and sound great on guitar which is a wonderful addition.

3. 1989 - the perfect Taylor pop record. I was honestly pissed at the Taylor's version because it messed up the pace of the album so badly.

4. Speak Now - sonically diverse, not a single weak spot in this one. Last Kiss is her second best song. Long Live, Dear John, Mean - so many iconic songs on this one. It's also her first album where the songwriting really shines.

5. Fearless - love the vibe of her still being in her country phase but slowly leaning closer to pop. The upbeat songs are great but the slower and sadder ones don't land as hard as on other albums.

6. reputation - another really good Taylor pop. A bit edgier 1989. Don't Blame Me, Dancing With Our Hands Tied, Getaway Car, Dress and New Year's Day are the highlights.

7. Red - THE Taylor Swift album if we're being honest. It's the one that cemented her as a superstar. A lot of great songs here - State Of Grace, Red, Holy Ground, I Knew You Were Trouble, WANEGBT, All Too Well (especially the 10 minute version). Also some of the best Vault tracks (again, especially the 10 Minute ATW). But it's kind of bloated, with quite a few songs that could be cut and not much would be lost.

8. Taylor Swift - I loooove country Taylor. It's a shame this era ended so quickly. Picture To Burn, Should've Said No, I'm Only Me When I'm With You, Our Song? BANGERS. Every track that's a bit slower here is just a skip tho.

9. Lover - bloaaaated. Some phenomenal stuff. False God, which I'm pretty sure is the only saxophone part in Taylor's discography. Cruel Summer, The Archer, DBATC, Lover, Daylight, all really good tracks. But the lows are really low. ME! with Brendon Urie is a crime, and You Need To Calm Down and The Man are not much better. Also it's the album repsonsible for the gaylors.

10. Midnights - I still haven't forgiven her that disastrous rollout. 15 different versions, a special song available only on the variant sold in one venue. There are 23-26 tracks in total (again, thanks to that mess it's hard to tell) and you could easily remove about 13 to have a much better album without losing nothing of value

11. The Tortured Poets Department - maybe it will grow on me but I doubt that. This one is also so bloated, with some very bizzare lyrical choices. That one line in the article about the songwriting collapsing under the weight of the lore was so real. I appreciate that she plays with her vocals more than usual here. Also the moment Dessner takes over the album immediately gets better. FIRE JACK ANTONOFF. Anyway, it's quite a disappointment for now. I've been happier about getting one Cassandra Jenkins track a few days ago than getting two hours of Taylor today.

i don’t think i ever thanked you for changing your blog header but i’m v grateful u did bc one of the only tags i ever check is “ofmd fanart” and when i start typing that in it’ll pull up other tags and blogs as i’m filling it in and for a long time if i typed in “ofmd fan” the first blog that would pop up was t****i**** bc her header was like “ofmd fandom stuff” or something but now that ur header is “ofmd fandom cassandra” i get to see my beautiful mutual show up instead and it is SUCH an improvement

Lmao glad I could help. But really we should be thanking David Jenkins for taking up residence in my walls and making every insane thing I've ever thought about his show come to pass. Also. Yet another way I have triumphed over my once nemesis now I don't think about them lol

Three ships:

Manfred Bloor and Asa Pike from Children of the Red King - my ultimate codependent boy-and-his-dog besties who don’t even like each other. I’d say I’m too weird about this relationship between teens from a middle grade series I read as a kid but like. Canon is ALSO very weird about them so it is my right to have never gotten over them.

Yuzuru Tanigami and Shuumei Satogiri from Crossplay Love: Otaku x Punk - they finally made me admit that I am more of a friends-to-lovers than enemies-to-lovers person, it’s just that I like when the friendship involves a lot of Being Weird About Each Other, and also lying.

Jenkins + Cassandra Cillian + Ezekiel Jones + Jacob Stone from The Librarians - I love all their individual dynamics and they build together so well as the four of them. The series structure is also so fun to play with and leads to so many fun ways for the “when” of it all.

First ship: I have been in this game since I was a little kid so I truly cannot remember, but a fun fact about me is that Nuka and Vitani from Lion King 2 played a significant role in my queer awakening (normal people were into Kovu, I have been Like This for a long time)

Last song: Stories by Lilli Furfaro

Last TV show: Kotaro Lives Alone and it was so good and I’m gonna add the manga to my reading list!

Currently watching: On my rewatch of The Librarians, currently on s3. It’s a really great show to have on while crocheting or doing school work because it’s a delightful romp but also if I want to dig into the characters there is enough there to have fun with.

Currently reading: Just started The Hemingses of Monticello by Annette Gordon-Reed as my audiobook, I’ll be starting The Disabled Tyrant’s Beloved Pet Fish by Xue Shan Fei Hu soon, and I follow a few dozen manga series (yesterday I passed 300 books read this year, sorta hoping I hit 600 now!)

Currently eating: some left over tom kha gai over rice with a hardboiled egg, kind of just throwing an extra egg into everything right now to keep me full because I’m not that motivated to eat because summer is gross.

Currently craving: I really wish I had gotten a dessert at the grocery store earlier because there isn’t any ice cream in the house rn which is so sad ;_;

(Librarians)

Thank for leaving a request! Here is your story (there will be a link it's Ao3 page posted at the bottom): Where?

----

Flynn woke up earlier than even his earliest morning. It was thirty seconds past midnight when his eyes opened. He checked the clock on the hotel room’s wall only right before he stepped out the front door. Ten after.

As he steps through the annex’s door his eyes rake themselves across the long table. Papers lie spread out across it. Cassandra’s seat had a chemistry set in front of it, with a rock sitting on top of it all with only a slim piece of paper keeping it from falling into the top vile. Curiously he couldn’t recognize the rock. He should know it. Maybe with a closer look, his sleep-addled brain could finally…Flynn takes a step toward the strange setup, before stopping himself.

Something was off. Pieces were clicking together in his brain as the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. He looks around once more.

Where is everyone?

He raises a finger, wagging it at the silent air. There’s no scurrying amongst the shelves, no soft breathing as Cassandra works, no sudden inhalations over a very riveting part of one of the library’s books from Jacob. Not even the sound of tired complaints, soft mutterings, or even the occasional tinkering from Jenkin’s office. Fearful, Flynn turns to look at his and Eve’s shared desk. It’s organized to Eve’s liking, same as always. Or almost the same.

Flynn quickly strides over to the desk. Everything was in place. Her stacks of papers were neatly organized, pens were in the container, and the middle of the desk was completely clear. He looks around again completely confused.

Except the middle of the desk wasn’t.

Flynn’s eyes dart back down. As if appearing from thin air there was a small note written with short, curt, ink lettering.

‘I can’t do this anymore Flynn. You just keep leaving.

So now, I’ve left.

We’ve all left.’

No.

He drops the paper, and dashes down the hall towards the library’s doors.

No.

They’re locked. He can’t step out of the annex.

No. 

Jenkins is gone. Everything in his lab is empty.

No. 

Cassandra. Only books remain.

No!

Jacob. Nothing’s touch. Nothing’s there.

No!

Ezekiel. His room is picked clean, not even a speck of dust remains.

NO!

He practically busts down the door to his room. All of his things are still there. The paintings, books, and half-finished scrawlings on everything from the walls to random pieces of paper all about. Yet there aren’t any modern photos anymore. Her collage wall of their past adventures is empty. Her pillow is missing, and the closest doesn’t hold any of her clothes anymore. It was almost as if Eve had never been here at all.

In the middle of the room Flynn spins, until his head starts to swirl. He can’t stand anymore. She’s gone. His stomach lurches. Eve is gone. Flynn drops to his knees.

“Flynn!” He can hear her call his name. It sounds like a whisper, short, and low. As if she were afraid to wake him.

He should’ve woken up sooner. Return faster. Flynn raises his head and the walls start to melt around him. Maybe he shouldn’t have left at all.

When the world starts to shake, he squeezes his knees. What can he do? There’s no time. Nobody’s here.

The world gives way, and he’s falling. Air flies past him. It pushes up against the back of his head, driving the edges of his hair to scratch his skin. Hands grab his shoulders. Flynn forces his eyes open, and all he sees is the walls of the annex falling in, and around the whole that swallowed him continues. On and on and-

All at once his limbs jump to attention. Hands fly out, smacking against the bed, as he throws his head up, and legs out. Soft, damp sheets cling to his palms. He takes comfort in the solid, uncaving bed. Flynn blinks the sleep sand from his eyes. In between the third and fourth blink he registers the hands still on his shoulders. They give him a quick squeeze, before moving up to cup his face.

He steals a quick breath. Sweat, salt, Eve’s strawberry scented shampoo all hits his nose at once. Calloused, careful thumbs gently brush the last of the sand away from his eyes. 

“Hey there.”

Flynn blindly throws his arms around her. He pushes his face out of her hands and against her neck. Eyes still shut, he presses himself into her as much as he can. Eve lets out a sigh, before moving her arms around to hold his back and head. 

As his heart settles Flynn dares to speak. “You’re here.”

“Of course I am.” She sounds confident. So why did he feel so anxious? “Where else would I be?”

Where else indeed?

Maybe the nightmare had just been his subconscious reminding him of past mistakes. Could it have been riling him up in response to a deep seated fear? Who knows? He doesn’t need the answer. She’s here.

Eve’s right here in his arms, on their bed, deep within the annex. Home.

I'll be taking writing prompts until October 16th at 11:59pm EST.

I miss my thief. Yeah, you were a pain in the ass, but you were *my* pain in the ass. You frustrated the hell out of me, but at the end of the day, you and Cassie were my best friends. I miss ya, Zeke. I never got to tell you this in canon, but I love you. Sorry I ever doubted you. I hope you know you're my friend, no matter what ya told yourself in DARPA.

I miss my math girl. I'm sorry I ever said I didn't trust you, Cassandra. I don't know what to do without ya. You got me through some really dark times. I'll never forget how you opened up to me after Oklahoma. We talked about our parents. I told you things I've never told anyone else. You and Ezekiel were my cornerstones. I love you.

I miss my Guardian. I was never as close to you as you were with Ezekiel, but you were a mentor to me. You taught me how to fight, sure, but more than that, you taught me how to be part of a team. You taught me how to be part of a family. I'd never really had that before. Thank you, Colonel.

I miss... I'm not sure what I should call you. I miss you, Flynn. We didn't always get along, sure. More often than not, we fought like hell. I won't lie, you were always a little too eager to use magic for my liking. (I still can't believe that "we're the Librarians" is a SPELL, goddammit.) More than anythin', though, I look up to ya. I always have, and I think I always will.

I miss my knight. Jenkins, you always looked out for us. You were there for me on those long nights when I'd come back at one in the morning after a bar fight, drunk off my ass and whinin' like a bitch. I'll never know how you put up with me, but I'd wake up to a cup of tea on my bedside table and a blanket on my shoulders and I'd know that no matter how much you complained about us, you cared. I care about you, too.

I miss my Library. I miss the things I used to be able to do. I miss everythin' I used to know. I miss havin' a place to come home to when things were rough. I miss havin' a family. Hell, I miss riskin' my life every week, and I even miss magic. I miss mystery, misery, loneliness, adventure, and savin' the world twice before Friday.

I miss y'all. Come back alive, Librarians.

Today's bookstack features some of my favourite love stories -- tell me yours!

Persuasion by Jane Austen Unpopular opinion, perhaps, but superior even to P&P. The slowburn, scorned lovers finding each other again - perfection.

Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller Tragic, yet beautiful. I love the way that no matter what, the leads just accept each other.

Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid Surprisingly, perhaps, not for Daisy & Billy, but rather for Camilla & Billy. In my opinion the show didn't quite do them justice, but I find the way that Camilla refuses to accept an end to their relationship, and instead make it work a wonderful sentiment. She wasn't going to give up on Billy.

Bloodlines by Richelle Mead This is another one that I love because of the way the two characters come together & despite any flaws in each other, just work together and support each other.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (Pictured is actually a modern YA retelling). Okay, I acknowledge this one has its problems but for some reason Jane and Mr. Rochester always delight me. And I mean, theyre doing better than Cathy & Heathcliff so that's something, right?

The Dark Artifices by Cassandra Clare I actually really love Mark, Cristina & Kieran. It's good representation of different relationship types and honestly, I just think they all bring something the other needs. Which a relationship needs.

Long post is now done. If you read this all, thank you! Please leave me a message & let me know some of your favourite romances

...And the Reunion of Evil

Well, I tried this once and accidentally closed out, but the shortened version is: this episode annoys me for a few reasons, heavy focus on Cassandra and Jake and their minor disagreement that they resolve by the end of the episode, but also mostly because they treat Ezekiel poorly because his methods use technology or they just don’t understand it. Moving on!

Nice, normal, everyday artifact retrieval...something that is usually a precursor to disaster. 

Point 1: Eve is shouting for Ezekiel, walks up to him and takes his phone without knowing what he was doing and just assuming he was playing a game, even when he says it was important (which, okay, he may say about many other things that are not as important as this is). 

Point 2: “I’ve seen the kind of Librarian you can become...” that is major projecting -and he just slumps down in his chair likely having heard the rant before- and he has done nothing to encourage her to think he cannot be a good Librarian. Let’s be honest here, no one knows how old he is in the show. But since John Harlan Kim was like 20/21 when the first season was filmed, I can’t take him as any older than possibly 23 in the first season, which would put him at almost 25 in season 3. (this is mostly because in the finale of season 1 the Ezekiel of that world says Eve became his Guardian when he was a teenager, which doesn’t track unless we give him at least 13 when he received the envelope). 

Ezekiel trying to avoid whatever it is Baird has set up for him by distracting her on the tangent of kinky stuff makes me chuckle, solid effort my guy. “That’s ridiculous,” he’s not wrong. Then she just walks away without him getting up first, walking away, and putting the blindfold on. He took his chance and disappeared. 

I see you got your phone back...(but she didn’t even look to see what he was using it for still!!!). Got to keep my skills sharp! He’s not wrong, they tend to only rely on his thieving skills more often than not. You would have me set up the traps, but obviously you don’t trust me that much. He just sounds so defeated, and as though this is just a fact of life for him at the Library. Makes me sad. Then Jenkins goes on a tangent. Ugh, bro, you are always either working with Ezekiel on something technological and magicky or fighting with him. Pick a lane! I’ll give him a break since he was worried about Nessie. “I have every faith in Ezekiel” “said no one, ever” that right there is the problem folks!!! Get over yourselves. 

“You know if it were me-” “Ah, one can only dream” Harsh Jenkins, reign in your stress a bit please. At least Eve considers he might have something to add, even though Jenkins again just blows him off. Ezekiel doesn’t know anything about biology and they tried to make him care for an egg...that’s their own fault really. He was in the middle of stuff before they dragged him into that. “Nessie only lays one egg every hundred years...” you really should have lead with that, Ezekiel understands when you give him more information, he’s not an idiot. Eve’s you could help! and then he says No! Jenkins, fire bad! once he knows what he’s responsible for, he does an amazing job. 

No I’m withholding pertinent information, of course that’s all I saw! I love sassy Ezekiel. Boy deserves to snap back after how they’ve been treating him all that day. Yes! Vindication! He gets to rub it in there faces that he’s been working that whole time, on his phone!!! Ezekiel rubbing the egg affectionately just reminds me of his bond with Stumpy. Hacker Ezekiel is one of my favorites!!! They need something that Cassandra performed magic on in the last 24 hours, and he just turns around to hid the egg from sight. 

Jenkins getting all excited about the location being narrowed down, you can say thank you to Ezekiel you know, it’s okay. “So, how was your day?” Ezekiel just so casual after all the help he did finding them and getting the others to help. The fact that he interrupted Eve trying to tell tell him she thought he did a good job, he just shushes her, I think he doesn’t want her to think she was right. 

He was so excited when the egg started to hatch. “You are now it’s de facto mother. And quite honestly I do believe it could do worse.” That was actually high praise now that Jenkins is not so stressed out. “Wow, looks like I’m not the only one putting my faith in Ezekiel Jones.” No, but you did it very reluctantly, in fact you barely did it at all, but you were out of options and he got loud so you both heard him and knew he knew what he was doing. It all turned out all right, but I do wish this little trust in Ezekiel actually went somewhere. Oh well, time will tell...or rather, fanfiction helps...

CXXV - Yearning Echoes

And my heart,

With your name written in it,

Longs to be near you,

Even when you are away.

I can't hold you,

I can't make you stay.

You are here

Or away.

I wonder how I

Will find

The right words

And the right time…

Or do I retreat

To the mountains

And stay quiet,

And let go,

Let go of

What the soul

Is crying for.
