Came back from the ether just to reblog this. I’ve been away from tumblr and fandom in general for so long that finding something so well writen was like catching up with an old friend.

Thanks for sharing @thetravelerwrites

A New Generation Pt. 1 (Ancient Magus’ Bride)

Rating: Mature Fandom: 魔法使いの嫁 | Mahou Tsukai no Yome | The Ancient Magus Bride Relationships: Elias Ainsworth x Hatori Chise Characters: Elias Ainsworth, Hatori Chise, Ruth, Silver Lady, Silkie, Lindel | Lindenbaum, Simon Cullum, Alice, Stella Barklem, Shannon Additional Tags: Sex, Married Sex, Chise is 25 Trigger Warnings: Pregnancy, Unplanned Pregnancy, Babies, Childbirth, Children, Depression, References to Depression, Abuse. Neglect, Anxiety, Words: 9355

Chise becomes pregnant, and both she and Elias must come to terms with their misgivings about being parents, and their own demons which convince them they are monsters. Rated mature for sex and references to child murder. Please leave feedback!

Elias sat in his regular chair in the sitting room, reading a short note Simon had given him, while Simon sat on the couch across from him, watching him tersely. Another absurd assignment from the Church, something to do with a group of satyrs taking up residence in a convent in Italy. Elias sighed.

“I’m sorry it’s such short notice,” Simon said. “I would really rather have waited until Chise returned from her trip, but my superiors are adamant that this needs immediate attention. When is she due back, anyway? She’s been gone more than a week.”

“It is difficult to be certain,” Elias said morosely. He was infinitely more aware of the passage of time when Chise was away, and he rather disliked it. “Over the last seven years, she has taken a personal interest in maintaining the dragon population. She visits the aerie often and has become a great asset to Lindel. With her help, the dragons are more prolific than they have been in many decades. She assists Lindel with the hatching of each year’s clutch of dragon eggs. Last year it only took four days, but the year before that, she was gone for nearly three weeks.”

“Don’t you usually go with her when she visits the aerie?”

“Most of the time, yes, but not always. I’m more hindrance than help in this case. The dragon eggs need delicate care and diligent supervision. I am, you might say, under qualified. Chise is much better at caring for the young ones that I am.”

“Ah,” Simon replied. “Yes, I would suppose so.” Simon smiled in a way that seemed to be reassuring. “At least you know she’ll make a good mom in the future.”

TDP as things my favorite driving instructor has said

Aaravos: and then there was a time I accidentally started a cult…eh stuff happens

Nyx: you need to commit your first felony before you turn 18, then it doesn’t stick

Callum: that’s the second time I’ve referenced Dora this week

Rayla: if a turn is ever sharper than you think just scream “skrrrt” as you do it

Amaya: all student driver cars should get to be equipped with guns

Soren: I wonder how different the world was in 2001, not because of 9/11 but because of Shrek

Lujanne: trust me, I’m a doctor. I’m not actually a doctor but people seem to be more comfortable when you say you’re a doctor

all of my modern avatar university au!

bonus yue:

she’s sokka's ex. everyone thinks she’s dead cause when asking sokka what happened to her he says “she has gone to a better place” which is true because she went to study abroad in a really good university, and as no one had the guts to ask him how she “died” they assumed she was really gone.

alright so it’s annual donation drive time over on AO3, and I’ve already seen the usual “this is ridiculous/this is shady/what are they doing with all that money” so here’s your yearly reminder:

servers are fucking expensive

there are no fees or ads and they’re not selling your information anywhere, so the only money comes from donations

the budget is always public and the 2019 update is here if you want to see for yourself exactly where the money is going

“The first stab of love is like a sunset, a blaze of color – oranges, pearly pinks, vibrant purples…” 

- Anna Godbersen

This quote reminded me of Rayla and Callum so you know I had to draw something for it.

looking for a way to break in

Summary:  In a world where the moral lines of Dark Magic are less evenly divided, Rayla is a Moonshadow elf in the service of the royal family of Katolis. Assigned to be Prince Callum’s bodyguard on a pilgrimage arranged by tradition, she soon finds her feelings becoming harder to deny - and their world harder to protect. Co-written by me and @raayllum

taglist: @davey-in-a-minivan, @bouncy-futures, @artfulstar, @from-shattered-stars, @rayllurn, and @lookatallthesetakenurls. if anyone wants to be added to the taglist (or if i forgot to add you), let me know!

CHAPTER 14: The Prince of Katolis

The next two weeks at the Spire passed by in a sort of wondrous, hazy, dream state. The space between friendship and a relationship was nicer than Rayla had ever expected, the mutual awareness far less awkward than she’d envisioned. 

It was Callum. Of course things were okay.

Even if it meant that the energy had shifted a little during certain situations. Neither of them had been able to get much sleep in the first week, both of them usually laying in bed, staring at the ceiling, getting used to what the intimacy of sharing a bed would actually mean in the future while also sharing it now. The second week fatigue had caught up with them, and they went back to their usual position of sleep cuddles, even if the contact was a bit more charged than it had been. They kissed each other’s cheeks more often and sometimes Rayla was the one interlacing their fingers, and she spent hours mulling over all the possibilities they had now when Callum was off training and she wasn’t busy exploring the Spire.

Eventually, though, even Ibis needed a day off, and Rayla’s restless energy needed somewhere to go.

“How about we spar together?” Callum suggested over breakfast when she couldn’t stop fidgeting. “We haven’t done that in a while.” 

She raised an eyebrow at him, surprised for two reasons. The first was that he wanted to spar at all. The second, more comfortable one to ask and possibly get an answer for: “Ibis will let you?”

“He says I’m ahead of a lot of other students, and I should learn how to use magic with combat anyway. I just need to let him know.”

“And he won’t keep you out later?”

“He might, but not by much, and,” he grinned, “it’ll be worth it.”

“It’ll be worth getting your butt kicked?”

“By you? Always.”

It was difficult not to read into it, her cheeks already flushed, but she got up anyway and flashed him her most confident grin. “Fine. Meet you outside in ten.”

“You’re on.”

What does "dead dove don't eat" mean? I'd Google it but I'm afraid of getting graphic images of deceased birds in the results.

It’s a meme from an old episode of Arrested Development. You’ve seen it here on tumblr, but not always with the original context. 

The character sees a paper bag in the fridge labelled “Dead Dove Do Not Eat.” He takes the bag out of the fridge, opens it up, makes a disgusted face, and then the famous “I don’t know what I expected.”

There really was a dead dove in the bag.

When you see a fic tagged with “dead dove do not eat” it basically means, “this fic is clearly labelled (tagged) indicating content that some people will not want to read. If you read it anyway, it’s your own fault. I warned you.”

It can also be interpreted as “See those tags and warnings? I’m not joking around. Pay attention to them.”
