You always have a choice, don’t pretend you don’t enjoy being a mass murderer of all my faves!
Someone needs to stop giving me the opportunity to kill characters
Ooh, tension! Ao guang ships it. Thanks for writing this, it was very fun.
Hiya, can I get may I have this dance for whoever you fancy writing it for, please?
"May I have this dance?" Ao Guang asked Irene, offering her a gloved hand, black silk she decided as she carefully lay her hand atop of his, conscious of Kai watching her. She could feel the power through the gloves, there was no shielding the strength of a dragon, even in human skin.
"I'd love to, though I confess to not being much of a dancer." She said letting him lead her toward the other swirling dancers. "I will try my hardest not to tread on your toes." He had similar laugh to Kai's, very soft and low, like the gentle rumble of a vintage car.
"Well, I hope that I do not tread on yours, I usually watch these things, but I wanted the opportunity to talk to you without arranging a formal meeting. Those things are so much effort and take up so much time."
"Oh, I am beginning to realise that too." Fear gripped her despite the forced lightness in her voice. "I... What is it that you wished to discuss? If it's something serious, than maybe a meeting is necessary."
"No, I wanted to thank you."
"Thank me? For what?"
"A good many things I believe. Shall we start with Venice?" He swept her in a turn and straight onto the dance floor. He caught her with the poise and grace of a professional dancer and she wished that she could claim to have the same set of skill. She'd attended plenty of dance classes in her youth, but she'd never enjoyed being on show in such a manner.
"You really don't need to thank me for that." She said, following his lead in the steps of the waltz, trying not to count the music beats aloud, rather than just in the back of her head to keep in time.
"You saved my son from a fate that many consider to be worth than death, as my brother tells me, at great risk to your own safety, and at the risk of your position in the Library."
"Kai is, was, my responsibility." She said. "It was through my own action that his kidnapping was able to take place. I do not deserve gratitude."
"I will have to disagree. From all accounts, you risked your life for my son, for that, I will be eternally grateful and in your debt. For your assistance in Paris, and your discretion, I also thank you, we would have been unable to get a treaty without your presence." She blushed a little bit. "Truly Irene. Or, do you prefer miss Winters?"
"Irene is just fine." She said, smiling. She caught a glimpse of Kai. "Your son is important to me, I was always going to go after him, I do regret asking him to meet me in Paris somewhat, he was kidnapped and injured due to the... Events, but I would not have succeeded without him."
"He said you were humble." Ao Guang's eyes flashed happily, sparking like stars in midnight skies. "He also speaks very highly of you, he has a great deal of faith and trust in you, I am glad that he's finally got someone as loyal as he is. You're a good match." Was there more implied there? They certainly were a good match, but Irene had no desire to made it a publicly known relationship. What had Kai said to his father?
The music swelled before slowly ebbing away. Ao Guang kissed the back of Irene's hand before she dipped into a curtsey and he bowed.
"I believe that my son wishes to be your next partner." He said as Kai made his way over to them. "Thank you for the dance, Irene, and thank you for all that you have done for my family, I am indebted to you."
"I hope I am not interrupting?" Kai said.
"Not at all." Ao Guang said. "Thank you for the dance, Irene, I hope that you enjoy the rest of your time here."
"Thank you, your majesty." Irene smiled as Kai offered her his hand. They waited for Ao Guang to walk away before turning back to the dancers.
"So, are you enjoying yourself?"
"I am, yes. Though I have to say," His hand was warm on her back. "Your father is a better dancer than you are."
Such a Silver move!
Silver: Yeah, we're best friends, but I would totally fuck you if you asked.
Vale: what
Irene: [eating chips as she watches from the background] he said she'd fuck you if you asked.
Ooh, that would be genuinely painful to read! And I think Kai would lose the few remaining fragment of his sanity.
One of these days I am going to have to think of the crackest ship that there is and write something for it
I'm thinking Irene x Ao Shun
My eyes, my eyes!

You have a genuine problem! 😂 can’t wait to see who’s in the box this time.
I am not sorry in the slightest
Enjoy Irene crying over the death of...
Read it and find out
Kai is out here straight up speaking the truth we all need.
Kai: Chillax!
Vale: That’s not a word
Kai: Sometimes the ones who deny ‘chillax’ are the ones who need to chillax the most
Bloody love lotr!
Is the Tolkien fandom dead?
Reblog if you are a fan!
How have I not seen this before?! It’s awesome
Today’s problem
what do chairs for dragons look like.
Yeah, an utterly fabulous movie. I also loved Harry’s pidgin French as someone who speaks French, that was hilarious.
thoughts after Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again
this movie single-handedly saved this year
holy damn now I understand why Donna slept with all three guys?!?!??
and why the guys fell for her so quick??
literally every person in the movie is a bisexual dream
young Tanya? I’m in love.
Sky got older but daaaamn he got better
the songs were so good
Colin Firth during Dancing Queen cleared my skin, watered my corps and cured my depression
young Bill could get it, like, any time
the guy checking the passports at the dock is way too relatable
the girl in the first row in the church when Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried were singing together is me
Aunt Sofia is so badass, she’s like the Grandma in Mulan
when Harry said he’s spontaneous person I literally snorted loudly
so many great references to the first movie
every single outfit Cher wore was Iconic™
Bill and Harry doing the Titanic pose during Dancing Queen
the way they cut Sophie and Sky singing One of Us in the beginning was so beautiful and smooth and probably my favourite scene in the whole movie
this:
Sophie: Sky!
Sky: I haven’t told anyone!
Sophie: I only told Sam.
Sam: I only told Bill.
Bill: I only told Harry.
Harry: I told many, many people.
seriously Dancing Queen was so good and fun I almost started clapping and cheering when it ended before I realised I’m in a movie theater and I shouldn’t
the dance in Waterloo!! young Harry didn’t get too much screen time, but that was breathtaking
I honestly didn’t want the movie to end. I just wanted two more hours of it
JUST DO A FAVOUR FOR YOURSELF AND WATCH IT

The city of brass by S. A. Chakraborty is great and although technically adult, I read it when I was 15 and loved it and it didn’t feel too adult at all.

This is really cute, would seriously recommend. I utterly live writer Merlín, that’s a new headcanon of mine now.
Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Merlin (TV) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Merlin/Arthur Pendragon (Merlin) Characters: Merlin (Merlin), Arthur Pendragon (Merlin) Additional Tags: POV Merlin (Merlin), Alternate Universe - Neighbors, Writer Merlin (Merlin), Fluff, Humor, Profanity, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, they kiss, merlin is horny for arthur, idiots flirting, merlin’s unable to write Summary:
“Why? Are you offering to buy me some?” Merlin jokes, letting his mouth run free like the idiot he is (why bother with pesky things, like a brain filter) “You know what they say, a man only buys you clothes so he can take them off you.”
Merlin hears a thud behind him as he climbs the stairs and looks over his shoulder, to see Arthur straightening up, as if he stumbled or something, “You ok mate?”
He knows her so well. Squee, what a cute couple!
Kai: [gets down on one knee and holds up a small box]
Kai: Irene, will you mar-
Irene: If that’s not a small dagger I can fit in my boot then the answer is no
Kai: …
Kai: [opens box to reveal a small dagger she can fit in her boot]
Kai: Do you think I’m an idiot?
Graine is utterly feral.
Merlin: Why do you always put your ice cream in a bowl?
Gaius: Unlike the rest of you, I have too much dignity to eat it straight out of the container with only a spoon.
Gwaine: What do you mean, ‘a spoon’? Use your fucking hands, you cowards!
Gorgeous Ineeffable husbands!

This is awesome, they’re a really talented writer- so enjoy!

"This is your fault." Silver whined. He lay on his back staring up at the ceiling of the cell. He'd start whining about the filth on his suit when he sat up again. Vale leant his forehead on the bars and slowly exhaled. "You just have to poke your nose in, don't you."
"And you have to break the law, don't you?" Vale sighed. "Should I just give up and pretend that you don't exist?" Silver shot up, sitting bolt up right.
"Why on earth would... What have I been laying in?"
"Four years of dust and dirt. I hypothesise that these rooms flood when the river gets too high, like it did after the storm we had two weeks ago. Hence why the floor is still damp and the plaster is damaged. Four years of dust and dirt, mildew and whatever the river dragged in."
"Ugh. You could have stopped with dust." He climbed to his feet and joined Vale at the bars. "What are you looking at?"
Vale turned to him. "A nuisance." Silver blinked slowly, like a cat.
"How rude."
"I apologise if it hurts to hear the truth." Vale replied, looking away from him. "I'm trying to work out how to get us out of here since you're more worried about your clothes." Silver ran his hand over the shoulder of his suit and wrinkled his nose in disdain at the filth that clung to his fingers. He stared at his hand, and then at Vale's shoulder, and then back down to his hand. He smeared the dirt off and onto Vale's sleeve. Vale jumped back.
"What on earth are you doing?"
"My hand was dirty."
"Your face will be dirty if you keep this up." Vale hissed. "Will you shut up so that I can get us out of here? Or do you want to remain in this cell forever?"
"And spend my days with you? Yes please." Vale muttered something under his breath that seemed to rhyme with 'Silver you piece of quit.' not that Vale would often use such profanity when there were people to hear him, but sometimes the situation, or person, called for it. As long as Winters couldn't hear to call him a hypocrite.
"Have you tried the door handle?" Silver suggested, before trying it himself.
"You're a genius." Vale snapped when the handle wouldn't even budge. "What's your next solution? Turning semi corporeal and slipping through the bars?"
"How stupid do you think I am?" Silver asked, before. "Nevermind. Don't answer that." Vale rolled his eyes.
"Now, unless you have any bright ideas, please be quiet."
"Shout for help."
"Pardon?"
"Shout for help. Tell them I'm not breathing or something and the guard will come to investigate and open the door."
"Why would that work?"
"I saw it in a movie."
"A what?" He sighed.
"Get Winters to show you." Silver said. "Do you want to try that then?"
"I suppose that it wouldn't hurt. You'll have to lay on the floor again."
"I'm already dirty, a little more won't kill me. Hopefully." Silver said, he sat down where he had been before, before carefully laying down with his back to the cell bars. Vale took a deep breath.
"Guard! Guard! He's not breathing!" He waited and a guard started to slowly stroll closer. "He's going to die. What have you done to him?" The guard peered through the bars.
"Will you be quieter if he's dead?" The guard asked. Vale glowered at him. "Our instructions were to keep you here. Nothing about keeping you ali-" Vale's hand shot through the bars and grabbed a fistful of his hair, using it to slam the man's head against the metal bars until he went limp and Vale released him to fall to the ground.
"That works too, I suppose." Silver said, getting up, he went to brush the dirt off himself before remembering. Vale rifled through the guards pockets, finding a small flick knife, a pistol and the keys. The cell key was the sixth that he tried.
"Let's get out of here."
Festus is v excited to be helpful, what a sweetie.

Especially as you’re dovering in the morning when you can catch a lie in and it’s warm and cosy and you’re just starting to wake up but it’s all still hazy and soft.
Ok but being in bed just feels SO GOOD
Bold of you to assume Silver would attempt to correct himself, this was his diabolical plan all along!
Vale: Fuck you, Silver!
Silver: Fuck me yourself, Vale!
Vale:
Silver: No, I mean—
Vale: [sigh] Okay.
Silver: Wait, what...?
Vale: [already taking off clothes] Yeah, why not?
For sure, our baby deserves all of our support!
Reblog if you'd go see Aziraphale's magic show
My baby Faramir! He deserved so much better!!!
Therapist: Okay, I believe you said that your childhood experience was satisfactory?
Faramir: No, you misheard me. I said it was a “sadness factory.”
This is hilarious!

This is super gorgeous!
And, you think, one day— soon—you’ll be able to kiss him under the sun, too.

I need that horse story now!
i was rereading some of your fics and i stumbled across the line ““All that talk of you being noble is horseshit, Lancelot. I know you just want Gwen to yourself."” and honestly to me that line just perfectly describes Lancelots and Merlin’s friendship
I s2g I felt like their relationship is just so criminally underrated. Like, yes, Lancelot knew everything about Merlin, but I’m sure he told Merlin all of his dirty secrets in return and I just find that so funny because the knights are like ‘yes, noble Lancelot. So refined and well-tempered’ while Merlin is sitting there internally screaming because he knows that Lancelot once lost a fight with a horse.
Yes it’s definitely a difficult situation, especially cause he’ll have some kind of topping or filling and you do not want that to squidgy and spill.
Kai: Ew, who would want that as their last meal?
Kai: Personally, my last meal [pulls out a handful of pancakes from her pocket] would be pancakes!
Irene: You just…. keep that in your pocket?
Kai: We face death every day. This time I’m gonna go out on my own terms.
Nico being happy is just so wonderful! It’s like my baby you are alright now go spread your wings and be gay somewhere.
Solangelo is good for the soul,, happy pride month i love all yall fellow lgbters
This should just be a legit popular opinion. He was sweet and lovely in the original series there’s no way he’d become a Death Eater.
unpopular opinion: they did Cedric Diggory dirty in cursed child.
Rosie
Rosie is the relatable woman we all have a bit inside of us. She's funny, down to earth and loves snacks. She easily gets her heart broken but is always loyal to her friends. She's also independent and a great person to have at parties. But is also happy with a takeaway catching up.
Sounds like me tbh, snacks all the way!!!!
