.......All I know since yesterday

Is that everything changed.......

The Cordonian Royal Polo Club

After adjusting the strap on Marabelle's harness, Sophie accepted the polo mallet from an attendant. She was in her element today; any time spent riding her horse was a joy but spending time with Liam, on top of that ...this was a dream come true.

When Liam invited her to join his polo team, she was over the moon. To be personally invited to join him was extremely flattering. Her heartbeat raced and butterflies danced inside anytime and every time she thought of him.

‘Remembering that beautiful Sunday afternoon while working on a paper for class on the terrace of the Beaumont estate, Sophie looked up, pleasantly surprised to see Liam and Maxwell come into view.

“Good afternoon, Sophie.” Liam smiled warmly as he walked up to her table. “Hard at work as always, I see.”

“Oh, hello, Liam. Maxwell.” Sophie stood, moving her laptop to the side.

Liam bent down to kiss her cheek and waited for her to sit back down before he took a seat himself at the glass patio table.

“Yes, just trying to get this paper finished before the deadline.”

Maxwell, grinning mischievously, “Ah, the diligent scholar. Little blossom, take a break for a moment. Liam has something he would like to ask you.”

“Oh?” Sophie smiled, curiously looking at Liam.

Clearing his throat, a hint of nervousness in his demeanor, “well, I know your love and passion for horses. And as you know, there is a fundraising event planned for flooding relief in Portavira on Valentine’s Day.

Sophie nods sadly, “Yes, I have heard of that tragedy; It is heartbreaking.”

Taking a breath, Liam continued. “Indeed...I was wondering if you would consider joining my polo team. Your skills would be invaluable, and I can assure you, we would make quite the formidable duo on the field.”

Clearly taken aback, but flattered, “Oh, Liam, I ... I don’t know what to say.”

“Say yes, Soph! It’ll be a fantastic experience, and I can personally vouch for Liam’s team being a lot of fun. ‘Ya know, cuz I am on it.” Maxwell chuckled.

Sophie smiled, touched by their enthusiasm, “well, how can I refuse such a charming invitation? I'd be honored to join your team, Liam.”

Liam, grinning widely, “wonderful! I knew I could count on you, Sophie. This event is going to be legendary, mark my words. Thank you, love.”’

Practicing today for the Portavira Charity Polo match, Sophie, along with Liam, Drake, Melanie and Maxwell were in the field taking turns with knock-ins.

She looked over to the sideline and spotted Liam watching her intently. He gave her a small wave and she waved back with a smile.

"Let's go, girl," Sophie urged her horse.

Marabelle broke into a gallop, Sophie leaning forward and keeping pace.

Liam watched as Sophie rode toward the goal, her posture perfect, her movements smooth and confident.

Sophie raised her mallet and struck the ball, sending it sailing through the air.

"Nice shot," Liam called out.

“Yes!” Sophie cried out as she turned back down the field to where Liam was standing.

"You're a natural out there!"

"Thanks," Sophie replied, blushing. Liam offered his hand as she dismounted Marabelle. "I love riding.”

"So, are you looking forward to the match tomorrow?"

"I am," Sophie said. "I'm a little nervous, too. It's my first time playing in front of a crowd."

"You'll be great," Liam assured her. "And we'll be a great team."

“Will the entire team meet today?”

“Yes, you will meet Rashad and Tariq this afternoon.”

“Are we interrupting?” Drake asked hesitantly as he and Melanie walked over.

"Hey guys ... of course not," Liam answered.

"How's practice going?" Melanie asked.

"Great," Liam and Sophie replied in unison, both grinning, sharing coy smiles.

"Looks like you've got a winning team, Liam." Melanie grinned, noticing Sophie move closer to his side.

"Thanks," Liam replied, a wide grin on his face.

“I think so, too,” Liam winked at Sophie, who smiled softly in return.

“We only have 7 players though. Leo flew out of Cordonia last night.” Drake shot Liam a concerned look, making a mental note of asking Liam about his brother’s absence after practice.

"We're gonna have so much fun," Drake grinned.

"You're playing, too?" Sophie asked, surprised.

"Of course. You didn't think Liam would let me miss the opportunity to beat him, did you?"

"We'll see about that," Liam smirked.

"Oh, it's on," Drake replied, a competitive glint in his eyes.

"Don't worry, we'll kick their asses," Melanie said to Sophie.

"Yes, we will," Sophie agreed, laughing.

As Drake and Melanie left to finish their rounds, Liam and Sophie continued practicing. Their easy banter and playfulness made it clear to anyone watching that there was a definite attraction between them.

... And the way Liam looked at her when their eyes met, his gaze filled with admiration and affection...it made Sophie's heart race.

She could only imagine how good it would feel to be in his arms again, his lips on hers.

The thought made her blush, and she tried to push it aside, focusing on the game. But the feeling remained, simmering beneath the surface as they walked their horses to the stable.

"You're incredible," Liam murmured as they left the field.

"Thank you," Sophie replied, grinning. "You weren't so bad yourself."

"High praise coming from you," he teased.

"I mean it," Sophie said, her tone serious. Liam reached over and took her hand in his as the stable hands led the horses to their stalls.

With a gentle smile, “high praise indeed, Sophie. And I assure you, I mean it. Your talent with Marabelle is unmatched.”

Their hands remained clasped as they walked to the clubhouse.

Azamara Cruise Ship, off the Italian coast, Mediterranean Sea

As the luxury ship cruised through the Mediterranean Sea, the sun was setting in a vibrant display of reds and oranges.

Leo stood on the deck, admiring the view, lost in thought.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

He turned to see a young woman standing beside him, her blond hair blowing in the breeze.

"It is," he agreed, turning his attention back to the sunset.

"I'm Katie, by the way."

"Leo."

"Nice to meet you," Katie said, offering her hand.

"Likewise," Leo replied, shaking her hand.

"So, Leo, what brings you out here? On a pleasure cruise?"

"Just needed to get away for a bit."

"Yeah, me too," Katie replied.

"It's been a tough week," Leo confided.

"Really, how so?" Katie asked.

"I had to make a decision that changed the course of my life."

"That's heavy," Katie replied. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not really," Leo admitted. "I'd rather just try to forget about it for a while."

"Fair enough," Katie replied. "So, tell me, Leo, what do you do for fun?"

Leo laughed. "Honestly? Not much."

"Seriously?" Katie challenged.

"Yeah. I have a pretty serious job, and I'm usually focused on that.”

"Well, that's no good," Katie replied. "You need to have some fun, too.”

"What do you do for fun, Katie?"

"Everything!" she exclaimed. "I love exploring new places, trying new things, meeting new people."

"Sounds exciting.” Leo chuckled, turning his body towards her.

"It is," she went on. "And it's made me a lot more open-minded and adventurous.”

"Adventurous, huh?" Leo asked, intrigued by her temerity.

"Yeah," Katie said, grinning.

"Well, I could use a little adventure in my life."

"Then come with me," she said, holding out her hand.

Leo hesitated for a moment, then took her hand.

Katie led him down to the pool area, where several people were lounging and enjoying the warm evening air.

"Come on," she said, tugging him along.

"Where are we going?"

"To the hot tub," she replied.

Leo followed her to the hot tub and watched as she slipped out of her cover-up, revealing a white bikini underneath.

She stepped into the hot tub and turned to look at him.

"Well, are you coming?" Her eyebrow raised.

Leo could not resist her invitation. He quickly removed his clothes down to his boxers and joined her in the hot tub.

"Ahhh, this is nice," he sighed, sinking into the warm water.

"Isn't it?" Katie agreed, her body glistening in the soft light.

"So, what do you do for fun, Leo?"

"I'm a crown prince," Leo said. "So, my life is pretty much dedicated to duty."

"That doesn't sound very fun," Katie said, frowning.

"It's not," Leo admitted, noting her non-chalance of his mention of his title.

"Well, I'm sure we can find something fun for you to do," she said, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"I'm sure we can," he agreed, his heart beginning to race.

"How long are you on the cruise for?" Katie asked.

"The rest of the week," Leo replied.

"Perfect," Katie said. "We have plenty of time to get into some trouble."

"Trouble, huh?"

"Don't worry," she said, laughing. "I won't get you in too much trouble.

"I'm counting on it," Leo replied, his gaze locked on hers.

"You are a flirt, Leo."

"I can't help it," he said, his voice low. This woman was everything that Madeleine wasn't.

"You're very flirtable."

Katie laughed. "I'm sure that's not a word, but I'll take the compliment."

"Good," he said, smiling.

"So, what's your story, Katie?"

"My story?"

"Yeah. What brings you out here? On a pleasure cruise?"

"Same thing as you," Katie replied.

"An escape..."

Beaumont Estate, Ramsford, Cordonia

Sophie woke to the sound of knocking on her door. Groggily, she pulled herself out of bed and stumbled across the room. She opened the door to see Daniel standing there, a huge grin on his face and a bouquet of long-stemmed red roses in his hands.

"Good morning, Squirrel," he chirped.

"Morning, Dan. What are you doing here so early?"

"I wanted to bring these to you before you left for the polo match."

"Wow, they're beautiful," Sophie said, accepting the bouquet. "Thank you."

"They're not from me, silly. They're from your prince..."

"Oh," Sophie blushed.

"Here's the note," Daniel said, handing her a small envelope.

"Be my Valentine," Sophie read, her heart racing.

"Aww, that's so sweet," Daniel smiled. "He's really smitten with you."

"I guess so," Sophie replied, still a bit stunned.

"So, are you excited about the game today?"

"Yeah, I am," Sophie said. "I just hope I don't mess up."

"You'll be fine," Daniel assured her. "I have complete faith in you."

"Thanks, Dan," Sophie said, giving him a hug.

"You're welcome, Squirrel."

Sophie spent the rest of the morning getting ready for the polo match, her heart fluttering every time she lookrd at her roses. She couldn't believe he had sent her such a romantic gift, and she was eager to see him... to thank him personally.

Cordonian Royal Palace

The morning of the charity polo match, King Constantine was getting dressed when his attendant informed him of an incoming international call.

“Sir, your son, Leo, is on line one."

Constantine was surprised and concerned, and at once picked up the phone.

"Son, what's wrong? Where are you?"

"Father, I had to get away. I had to think."

"What's there to think about, Leo? Your duty is clear. Your kingdom needs you."

"But I don't want this," Leo said, his voice thick with emotion. "I never wanted this."

"Son, I know it's not easy, but we all have to do things we don't want to. It's part of being royalty."

"... that's the burden we bear."

"I can't do it," Leo said. "I won't."

"You must," Constantine said, his tone firm.

"No, I won't. I would rather give up my title than marry Madeleine."

"I'm sorry, son, but you don't have a choice."

"Then I'll abdicate," Leo said, his voice shaking.

"Leo, where are you now? Are you somewhere safe?"

"I'm on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean."

"You are, what?! You are the Crown Prince. You need to return home right away."

"I won't," Leo replied somberly.

"Leo, listen to me. Your place is here, in Cordonia. You just can’t walk away."

“I have. Liam will be a better King," Leo insisted.

"Leo! You ...."

“Father," Leo interrupted.

"When have you ever put me or Liam first?”

“I wasn’t the one to walk away. You were....”, Constantine admonished.

Leo remained quiet, steadfast in his decision.

"Leo, please," Constantine replied, his voice pleading.

"Goodbye, Father," Leo said, and then he hung up the phone.

Constantine stood there, stunned.

.......All I know since yesterday

FEBRUARY 17TH, 2024

TW INJURY, FIREARM

The Love is in the air Valentine's event was a success, with more in attending that had been planned. The Lady Luck tables were more popular than expected and the idea of renting more next year was already floating around. With all proceeds going to different charities, it seemed like the residents of Oxbow Ridge really went all out.

It was around 9pm when things started to go sour. First it was the weather, not that anyone could do anything about it. The snowstorm raging outside making the roads dangerous was starting to be a concern for the guests who would leave in the coming hours.

It was as if the horses could sense it all, the weather change and everything that was to come. Olivia Walker was in the stables, her talk with Declan Byrne leaving her seeking some peace and quiet. She wasn't ready when the horses started to get nervous and standing too close, being hit and knocked unconscious.

No one knows how it really started, who fired first. There were no warning signs, no dispute happening. Sofia Flores was on stage when a deafening and unmistakable sound was heard, a gunshot. It seemed that one of Declan's Clover was the target as they stumbled to the ground, creating chaos around them. The venue was supposed to be secure, but no throughout check had been done, a silly mistake from people who underestimated the longstanding feud. Three more firearms were drawn, one going as far as firing in the direction of the first shot, a bullet lodging in Gabriela Ruiz's right shoulder.

Quickly, Cooper Walker surveyed the room and sent one of their cowboy to secure their sisters, Bethany Walker and Sawyer Walker being ushered through the kitchen. Logan Walker, not seeing their sister anywhere, went into survival mode, making their way through the crowd, not caring if they hurt anyone in the process.

The organizers were not prepared for any of this and left entirely powerless and with the state of the roads, help was slowly coming. Guests were rushing out of the main rooms, those who had rented rooms for the night escaping to them and bringing friends with them, barricading themselves together.

Here's the first plot drop of our event! A lot of panic, not a lot of disco. It's possible for characters not mentioned to sustain injuries, just message the main so we can establish it. The same goes for characters starting fights, which is bound to happen.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (Movies) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Jefferson "Seaplane" McDonough/Sheldon "Shelly" Oberon Characters: Jefferson "Seaplane" McDonough Additional Tags: Angst with a Happy Ending, mentions of Alex Vreeke/Bethany Walker, but they're not actually together in any way, one sided Jefferson "Seaplane" McDonough/Bethany Walker, (Seaplane is pining), Bisexual Seaplane, more team-focused than all the ship tags make it sound, Team as Family, Welcome to the Jungle spoilers, The Next Level spoilers, warning for the main character doubting his senses and being unsure what is real

Summary: Jumanji fed on Alan Parrish for twenty-six years, but in the end it had to give him back. It always had to give them back, and in between, it starved. But hunger made the game smart. The world around it was so lovely, coming up with new tricks for Jumanji to lure prey in with. Electricity, computers—wonderfully versatile. And now, even when its prey returned to the outside, an echo stayed within the game. Pale, thin, devoid of real nutrients, but still. It was nice to have something sweet to snack on, in between meals. Or, humanity is contagious, and Seaplane might be losing his mind.

hey guess who finally made an ao3 account (if you’d prefer to read it on fanfiction.net I have an account there too)

Blog Post #5

The movie is set 2 years after the first film, called Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. The main characters - Spencer Gilpin, Anthony "Fridge" Johnson, Martha Kaply and Bethany Walker have separated because of college, but they plan to meet during Christmas break. The night before the day of reunion, Spencer takes out the Jumanji game because he feels like he has no purpose. He is sucked into the game, making him not attend the reunion. His friends are suspicious, so they visit his place. There, they encounter Eddie (Spencer's grandfather) and Milo Walker (Eddie's ex-friend and former business partner), who have visited him. They discover what happened to Spencer and all of them get sucked into the game, except Bethany.

In the game, they all get their own avatars: Martha is Ruby Roundhouse, Fridge is Professor Sheldon Oberon, Eddie is Dr. Smolder Bravestone, and Milo is Franklin "Mouse" Finbar. Eddie and Milo are new to Jumanji so after the group explain what's happening, they meet the non-playable character (NPC) named Nigel Billingsley. Nigel informs them that Jumanji is suffering from a severe drought. To finish the game, they must end the drought by getting a magic necklace stolen by Jurgen the Brutal, a warlord. Bethany goes to Alex Vreeke, their previous Jumanji companion, for aid.

After escaping a flock of fast ostriches in the desert, the group finds Spencer in the body of Ming Fleetfoot (a skilled thief). Spencer agrees to help the group after blaming himself for the whole situation. They attempt to escape the desert, during which they collect the Jumanji Berry and discover a body of glowing green water that allows them to switch bodies. After some arguments, Eddie and Milo reveals the reason why their friendship ended is because Milo sold their restaurant without Eddie's knowledge, which forced both of them into retirement. Eddie also discovers that Milo is going to die of an illness and they make peace. After the group pass through a series of rope bridges, they reunite with Alex (in Jefferson McDonough's body) and Bethany (in the bod of Cyclone, a black horse whom can only be understood by Finbar).

The group work together and leave the desert. They find a river of the same glowing green water, which they use. Spencer, Bethany and Fridge go back to their original avatars - respectively Bravestone, Sheldon Oberon, and Mouse Finbar. Eddie and Milo also take on the avatars of Ming and Cyclone, respectively. Immediately after this, Jurgen's men kidnap Eddie and Milo. The group decide to split up and secretly enter Jurgen's fortress to rescue them and steal the necklace. While Martha and Spencer climb the fortress' ice wall, she asks him why he became distant. He admits that he feels insecure about himself seeing Martha's success in college. Martha comforts him, saying that he needs his friends when he is insecure. After infiltrating the fortress, a battle breaks out and Spencer chase Jurgen to his airship while the others fight Jurgen's men. Spencer discovers Jurgen's weakness to the Jumanji Berry and uses it to his advantage, weakening him enough to steal the necklace and defeat Jurgen.

The group return the necklace to Nigel, which allows them to go home. Milo says he wants to stay behind. The rest of the group go home after saying their goodbyes. Spencer teaches Eddie about video games. Now that Eddie has gotten over his anger, he convinces the new owner of his old diner, Nora, to hire him as a manager.

“Anthony?”

The gang visit Spencer’s home to check on him.

Milo Walker and Eddie Gilpin introducing themselves to the gang

Look at the beauty of this image. I love Danny Devito in this scene. He is my spirit animal

“Ha?” says Eddie, unaware that he is in Dr. Bravestone’s body.

“Did I die and somehow turn into a small muscular boy scout?”

“YOU HAVE TO HAVE EYES IN THE BACK OF YOUR H-”

*CHOMP*

1. What life lessons can be learned from the movie?

If you're not okay with your life, let your friends know and lean on them a little bit. Let your ego down and make amends with your friend if you notice your friendship has become distant due to an argument you two had.

2. What part of the story told by the movie was the most powerful? Why?

When Spencer and Matilda were hanging over a cliff in the video game world, they were vulnerable and talked heart to heart as to why Spencer put himself in a dangerous situation. It was because he wanted to be okay, since his life was miserable and he kept distancing himself from his friends. It was powerful because I could feel that I related to what he felt.

3. Who was your favorite character in the movie? Why?

Eddie taking on the avatar of Dr. Braveheart in the Jumanji world. His funny grandfather attitude and charm paired with the serious and buff appearance of Dwayne Johnson (the actor) created this polarizing effect. He looked like a stud but had the mentality of a goofy grandfather. I found it amusing.

4. Did anything that happened in the movie remind you of something that has occurred in your own life or that you have seen occur to others?

When Milo chose to remain as a horse in the video game world to live out his last days, that reminded me of my secret desire to become a peaceful animal living simply, basking in the inner peace that comes with living close to nature.

That is all <3

Okay I have a question, who are Patsy and Bethany. I am mostly an x-fan so my knowledge on iron man is nada. I know Janet but I thought Pepper was the main love interest. No? She was during civil war right? I didn’t even know he had stable gfs .. I thought he is a true Casanova uk

patsy is patsy walker aka hellcat! shes really close with jennifer walters and daimon hellstrom is her ex-husband. bethany is bethany cabe, she dated tony way way back then, back in iron man vol 1 and she works with his company as hell. she helped him with his alcoholism when he was struggling with it really badly. i dont think pepper was the main love interest, she tony and happy had this love triangle thing going on in vol 1 and i think they hooked up a few times after but nothing serious

#patsy n tony currently have a fling rn bc of cantwell #i think his most serious relationships were rumiko and janet #anon #asks

*****

Liam woke up, seeing Ayah peacefully sleep. Every day he believed she looked more and more like Riley, which melted his heart. Wondering where his Queen was, he knew she wouldn’t leave their princess unoccupied- walking towards the door he heard familiar voices in the kitchen, Drake and Riley. Liam knew he shouldn’t be jealous, but at times he felt paranoid- especially due to their past.

“Please don’t tell Liam.”

“I won’t. Don’t worry. Our secrets safe. Happy birthday for tomorrow Brooks. Love you.”

“Thank you. Love you too Walker.” Liam witnessed, his best friend kiss her on the cheek, before leaving the quarters. Our secrets safe. Love you. What the fuck?

Thinking back to what they all had gone through, he believed that Riley and Drake were only friends- she chose him, she married him even though Drake confessed he was still in love with her. But there was still those lingering doubts. She chose him, through depression, a suicide attempt, being stabbed. She chose to spend the rest of her life with her king- shaking his head, he thought back to their time together.

“Heh.. well I didn’t want you waking up with tangled hair. Don’t get me wrong, you’d still be beautiful with tangled hair... it’s so good to hear your voice. I’ve missed you.”

“I’ve missed you too. Thank you for being there for me.”

“You gave us all a scare. I’m so glad you’re okay.”

“I’m sorry Liam. I don’t know what I was thinking.... the minute I jumped.... I panicked. I shouted for help. I saw two men jump, then it was all a blur. I woke up... I’m sure Maxwell kissed me.”

“Don’t apologise, please. You don’t need to. And that he did. He obviously has the magic touch, as you didn’t respond to my kiss...”

“You... you kissed me?”

“I’m sorry Riley. It was just natural instinct. Every time I held your hand I kissed it... hoping that you would wake up. You decided to wake up the minute we all left you, you know.”

“You don’t need to apologise. Maybe Max should have kissed me before huh? I’m going to hang up. It’s been nice catching up Li. I’m sure you’re busy.”

“Never too busy for you. I’ve been worried about you. I miss you- I know I said it before. But I truly do.”

“Still a charmer I see, your Majesty.”

“Only for certain people Ri. Are you going to visit us? Come back? If not, I can visit you? It devastated me, thinking we’d lost you. You’re my friend Riley, I love you.”

“I don’t know Liam. I’m sorry, I was stupid. I was depressed- it’s not easy to admit that. I was a coward. I’m going to go. Love ya too. Talk soon.” I love you more Riley

- - -

“Hey Ri. Are you okay?”

“Yeah. I’m just worn out. Maxwell is a persistent one. You should check out his Instagram. I don’t know how we’re all breathing still.”

“Heh. That he is. Have you had a good day apart from that?”

“I suppose so. What have you been up to?”

“Preparing for the ball. Paperwork. Council meetings. Oh you know, boring King duties. I could almost hate Leo for abdicating.”

“You sound busier than ever. I’ll let you get off. Li.. you’re a brilliant King considering. Don’t you ever forget that.”

“Thank you Lady Riley. That means a lot to me.”

“You’re welcome, your Majesty. I’ll see you soon okay? I love you.” I love you too Ri.

“Prince Leo of Cordonia and Lady Bethany of New York.... Duke Bertrand Beaumont of Ramsford.... Lord Maxwell Beaumont.... Lady Riley Brooks...”

- -

“Lady Riley.”

“Li?”

Riley turned around and ran up to Liam, jumping into his arms - catching him off guard. The embrace seemed to last for eternity. He placed her gently back on the ground, and held her tightly. Placing her head in the crook of his neck, she could hear his heartbeat increase. They both felt content in each other’s company- not moving from that position for a while. Riley finally looked into his sparkly baby blues, smiling. Liam wiped her tears that were sliding down her cheeks- admiring her beauty.

“I’m so happy that you came back. I’ve missed you so much Ri. Are you enjoying the ball?”

“I’ve missed you too. I am now. It was hard at first, I was debating whether to come or not. I’m not stupid Li, everyone is whispering about me.”

“Ignore them. They are only bored, and have nothing better to do. You are so strong coming back, you always have been strong. That’s one of the reasons I love you. Most people would have ran a mile.” He loves me. And there’s more than one reason why.

“Li... do... do you really love me?”

“Yes, Lady Riley.” Liam placed Riley’s hand on his heart, before kissing her forehead. “You’ve always been in here, Ri. Ever since we met. I was an idiot, to let you go. I should have stood up to myself and made my own decisions, protected you and showed how much I loved you. It broke me when you rejected my proposal- but I understand now, why. It tore me apart seeing you in hospital, I felt like I’d failed you....”

“Liam, I love you too.”

Riley stood on her tip toes, staring at the tall man in front of her. He cupped her cheeks and placed a long, lasting kiss on her cherry bud lips. When they parted, Liam wrapped his arms around her waist holding her fragile body protectively. It seemed as if the world had fallen away, until they heard someone cough.

“About time you two! Matchmaker Leo to the rescue...”

- -

Liam passionately kissed her, she melted back into him- he was like a magnetic force pulling her to him at every opportunity. She removed his tuxedo, her hands roamed around his body. Liam pulled her closer to him, not wanting to let her go. His soft touch, felt every inch of her body. Her head fell back, as he kissed the sensitive parts of her neck and earlobe. They both felt a jolt of electricity run through their bodies- both wanting more.

“Liam..”

“Riley...”

Riley fell backwards onto the bed, Liam supporting her as he hovered over her. Both looking deeply into each other’s eye. Ever since the first night in New York, this is what it had all been leading up to. Both of them had fought their sexual feelings - all until now, Riley knew Liam wanted this back in the social season but never forced it. Now it was reality.

“Are you sure? Do you want this?”

“Yes Li, we’ve waited too long. I love you. I’m sorry for fighting it.”

Liam gazed into her baby blues- he knew she wanted him. He wanted her. Their first night together.

“I’ve wanted this for so long Ri. I love you.”

- -

“I’ll see you in a few days Ri. Here, I believe this should return to its rightful owner.” Riley allowed Liam to place the pearl bracelet around her wrist, before kissing her hand.

“I can’t believe you kept this after all this time.”

“It was yours, I told you that I kept that pearl hidden until I found a woman I loved to give it to. I thought you should have it returned to you, so you’ll know I’m with you- even if not in person.” Riley wrapped her arms around Liam’s neck, forcing a passionate kiss on her lovers lips. Their friends nearly vomited witnessing the two’s PDA.

“I’ll miss you. I’ll be thinking of you every second of the day. You don’t need good luck but good luck Ri.”

“Thank you my King. I’ll ring you when we arrive, and with an update every day at court. We’ll be back before you know it. What’s the worse that could happen?”

- -

“Liv. What’s he like?”

“Why are you asking? He’s handsome, don’t get me wrong, I can see why she was attracted to him. But he’s obviously mental.” Liam pulled out his engagement ring he proposed to Riley with all those months ago. His thumb ran over the diamonds. Olivia noticed- sorrow in her eyes.

“Is that the ring...?”

“Yes. If only I stood up to my father. Ignored the scandal, I could have protected her- I don’t know why I believed I couldn’t. She would be wearing this now. She wouldn’t have gone through all this pain. Drake wouldn’t have gone through all this pain.”

“Why are you bothered about Drake’s pain Li? He didn’t deserve her, he only gave a shit about his dick.”

“He was there for her when I wasn’t. He saved her life. They lost their baby, no matter what you think Liv.”

“Liam, it was a tragic accident. Riley can have children in the future, and so can Drake. It wasn’t meant to be. He’s with Kiara and Riley is yours.”

“I know Liv. But I still feel for them both.”

“Liam, you and Riley are good together. I hated her at first, but everyone knew you both loved each other. You two can have a future- marriage and children. That ring will be on her finger soon. I’m sure of it.”

- -

“Li. Do you know what time it is?”

“Why are you whispering? And it’s 5.10am Ri. I am capable of telling the time.”

“Okay Mr intelligent. I was whispering because Leo and Beth are asleep on the sofa. Are you okay?”

“Yes, I’ve missed you. Are you okay?”

“I’d be better if I was with you... Li hold on, someone’s at the door....” Riley tiptoed back into the living space. She didn’t know why she bothered as the knock had woken her friends up. She opened the door, immediately seeing his baby blues.

“I suppose I better hang up then...”

Riley pulled Liam in for a kiss, she was shocked but so happy to see him.

“Pack your bag Ri. You’re staying with me, no questions required. Let these lot catch up on sleep.”

“I can’t believe that you are here!”

“I couldn’t stay away any longer. You needed me no matter how much you denied it. I wanted to be here for you. And besides, I wouldn’t let you all face any more court alone after what she did.”

“You... you know?”

“I don’t know the full details- Leo wouldn’t tell me. But I know she was here, providing a fake alibi and by the look of your hand you’d have gotten into trouble if Leo and Bastien didn’t stop you.”

“Li, I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me.”

“Ri, don’t apologise. Someone was going to do it someday. I’m extremely tired. Are you going to join me? We can have a lie in. Then I’ll take you out for breakfast, my treat.”

“What would happen if a lady refused the King?” Riley asked seductively, biting her lip. Liam stepped closer to her and began to kiss Riley on the neck- he knew it was her ‘turn on spot’.

“I believe that the lady will get punished.”

Riley dragged the King over to the bed, before pushing him on it and straddling him. The kisses deepened as they became more passionate. They both stripped each other down to their underwear- they were both eager to touch and feel each other.

“Lay on your back, Lady Riley. You must obey your King’s order.”

- -

“Mr Cooper you have been found guilty on all accounts. The minimum sentence I can provide for you is 10 years. If you cause any hassle during your time in prison this will increase. You may take him down.”

Leo and Riley hugged their attorney, thanking her for all her work. They had won, and were ready to celebrate with their friends. Liam ran to Riley picked her up and spun her around. He couldn’t stop kissing her, he knew how hard it was for both her and Leo but he was incredibly proud of how strong the two of them had been.

“Ri, I love you. This is where our future begins. Leave the past behind us and start a fresh....”

- -

“Ri, please don’t leave me. I can’t lose you.”

Liam remained cradling Riley in his arms. He felt as if his whole world had collapsed- he didn’t know how many more tears his body could produce. The paramedics arrived and immediately began to save their saves- they were both given oxygen. Leo hugged his brother as the two victims were escorted out of the room.

“Riley Brooks, aged 25. Stab wound in the lumbar region. She still has a pulse, but it’s weak. The bleeding is being controlled every so often, she needs immediate surgery.”

“Drake Walker, aged 28. He also had a stab wound to the back. His pulse is also weak. The bleeding is now controlled. But he needs to be seen urgently.”

The guests all waited all the bottom of the stairs. They heard the paramedic on the phone to ER. Madeline wasn’t lying. Their friends were fighting for their lives. Reality hit when they saw Riley and Drake’s bodies on stretchers, being escorted outside to the ambulances. The friends all witnessed Liam barely holding it together. No wonder. Olivia walked over to him, placing a comforting hand on his arm.

“Li, they are both alive. They are both fighters. They will survive this and fight.”

Liam tried to compose himself, as he had an audience gawking at the scene.

“Liv... I can’t lose either of them. I’ll keep you all updated. Can you keep me updated on Kiara’s whereabouts? One thing I’m sure about- if they both die, Kiara’s a dead woman!”

- -

“I’m so glad you’re okay my darling. I’m sorry I didn’t protect you again. Thank goodness you are a fighter, I couldn’t cope with losing you again. I love you so much.”

Liam continued to hold her hand, refusing to let go of her again. Riley woke up a couple of hours later, her eyes blinked in response to the bright lights that were blinding her. She felt his hand holding her tightly- as she turned her head she saw Liam, he looked drained. Her eyes filled up with tears, she interlaced her fingers between his, causing him to stir. Riley removed the oxygen mask- enabling her to speak even if her voice was hoarse.

“I couldn’t stop thinking about you. Memories of things you had said to me, flashed in my mind. I thought they was going to be my last memories. Do you remember when you said to me that you want a family, that no one knows how much time they have until it’s gone? That whole conversation at the Beaumont’s snapped me out of my gaze, I knew I had to fight to see you again. I love you so much Liam, I’m never going to stop proving how much I love you. I was so scared.”

“I can’t imagine what you both went through- I’m so proud of you both. And yes, I remember that conversation. Our first date? I meant every word. I do want a family. And these last few months have proven that you never know how much time is left. I hope one day you will be my family. I love you too much to let you go again.”

- -

Riley grabbed Liam’s hand and let it hover over her stomach. Liam was puzzled, he wondered if she was in pain due to the stab wound and that the pain was spreading around her body. Taking a deep breath- she handed him the three pregnancy tests each with two lines.

“I... I’m pregnant.” Liam stood frozen, not able to comprehend the news.

“Li, say something...please...”

“You’re pregnant... we are having a baby?” Disbelieving what he was holding in his hands. It was like he was dreaming.

“Yeah.”

Liam picked Riley up, she wrapped her legs around him. They stayed in that position for a while. He couldn’t stop kissing his baby’s mom. Finally he let her down, and just held her -the smile on his face would never be erased. Today was not the day to inform her about Kiara.

“You’ve made my life complete Riley. I’m cancelling my meetings. I want to spend time with you and this little one.”

- -

“Hello, my two favourite girls. I love you both.”- Liam couldn’t help rub Riley’s growing stomach- it was his new hobby. He truly was in love and in time he gained what he had always wanted- a beautiful woman and a beautiful Princess due to be born in a couple of months time.

“We love you too, Daddy.”

Liam spun Riley around, kissing her passionately- before bending down to kiss his Princess that was kicking inside Riley’s stomach. Every time his baby moved it melted his heart- he couldn’t wait to meet her. Already, he had fallen deeply in love with her.

- -

“Ri, I know this last year has been incredibly hard for the both of us. Losing you absolutely broke me. Seeing you fighting for your life twice- made me realise even more that I can’t lose you again. So many obstacles have prevented us from loving each other publicly, but you’ve always been in my heart-since the first night we met. It’s different now...”

Riley noticed Liam lose his usual stoic attitude, his voice was a nervous tone, he was shaking. Holding him tightly she had an inkling on what he was doing. They had been in this situation before. The night she broke his heart- for what? To be made a mug of. Regretting the first proposal rejection from the King, she had hoped this was why he was acting this way- in case she rejected him again.

“Li, I love you.” She said, providing him with a soft smile.

“Riley, I love you too. So much. I feel unbelievably lucky that you love me back.”

Liam cupped her cheeks, and placed a soft kiss on her cherry bud lips. When they parted, he slowly went down on one knee. Riley’s eyes became like a burst dam, pouring out uncontrollably.

“I am going to dedicate to be the best King and Father I can be, I am going to protect you both with all my heart. I know I will be a better man having you by my side. Riley Brooks, I’ve asked you this question before and I know that the last time was inappropriate timing. You’ve once again made my life complete, but... Will you marry me and make my heart burst with more pride? Please, say you’ll be my Queen?”

Riley bit her lip, before pulling Liam up and falling into his embrace. He held her protectively- impatiently waiting for her response. Both of their eyes contained tears due to emotion.

“I love you, my King. Of course I’ll marry you.” She whispered into his ear.

Liam was beaming, he rested his forehead against Riley’s. Taking her hand slowly, he kissed the side of her wrist- now knowing that his mothers ring would sit on her finger permanently. Taking her arm gently, he pulled her back into his embrace- before shifting her backwards towards the hedge, kissing her tenderly. The coldness of the hedge sent a shock down her spine. “Riley” he said softly. She’s mine, he thought.

- -

“Riley, what can I say? Without you I am nothing- with you I am more myself. Our love is unique. Together you and I make something that has never been seen before. I will always protect you from harm to stand against your troubles. If you grow weak, I’ll be there to fight your battles for you. I’ll help you with your responsibilities and make your problems my own in order to spread the weight a bit more evenly. I love and cherish you, secure in the knowledge that you are my best friend, my love, my kind and adoring wife, Queen and mother to my child. You look so beautiful to me today, you always look beautiful to me and will always be this beautiful to me, tomorrow, and the next day and the next. I will only love you more and more each day of our marriage. There is still a part of me today that cannot believe that I’m the one who gets to marry you. You make me a better man, and a better King. I love you, Riley Brooks.”

“You have made me feel more loved than I ever thought was possible, even with my past decisions. I am so grateful that we have come full circle and are in each other’s arms again. Today, I give you all that I am, and all that I have. Just as I give you my hand to hold today, I give you my heart- my whole life. I choose you today. And I would choose you again tomorrow. I would go on choosing you the day after, and every day for the rest of our lives. You are my life. I love you and I will always carry you in my heart, as I’ve always done. Thank you for all your support and love you have provided me, I feel so lucky that myself and our baby have you in our lives. I love you Liam, my King.”

- -

The King and Queen Of Cordonia, would like to announce the birth of Her royal Highness Princess Ayah Rhys of Cordonia.

- -

My life is complete. I thought I’d lost you. Hold on, I kept thinking when you was in hospital. You held on, you survived. You came back into my life. You are my wife, my Queen, and my children’s mother. You are that woman who transformed my imperfections into perfections, just by the touch of your love. I don’t need the whole world to love me, as long as I have you, Ayah and bean I am a happy man - Who’s heart is filled with unconditional love.

*****

“Good morning. Was that Drake that I heard?” Lying knowing full well it was. Placing his arms around her, he noticed that she flinched and was slightly distant from him. Eventually turning around to face her husband- she could see that his mind was working overtime.

“Yes. He just came... to... erm... ask how I was. Are you okay Liam?”

“Yes. I was just wondering where my Queen was.”

“I’m here my king. I love you.”

“I love you too. I don’t want you to ever leave me.” Riley looked confused at his last sentence, wondering why he was all of a sudden acting like this.

“I’m never going to leave you. Are you sure you’re okay Liam?” Nodding, his face wasn’t telling the full truth. Cupping his cheeks, she stood up on her tiptoes- brushing her lips against his, she noticed he soon became less tense.

“Ayah’s still asleep, how about we have some mommy and daddy time. I can’t wait for our baby to be here- I miss all the positions we used to do.” Liam said seductively whilst rubbing small circles onto her back before pulling her into his embrace- forgetting his paranoid thoughts for the mean time. “I love you Riley, I always have and I always will.” He whispered as he placed gentle kisses on her neck. “I love you too, Liam. It’s always been you.” She barely whimpered, his kisses on those delicate spots made her feel weak at her knees immediately. Liam firmly pressed his lips onto her, the tip of his tongue reached out- sliding across her lower lip. Opening her mouth slightly, gave him permission to enter- their tongues now dancing together. Once they broke the kiss, Riley looked into his eyes- he thinks there’s something going on with me and Drake. He thinks he can read people, but I’ve learnt from the best. How silly can he be? Drake is with Hana, I married Liam. Our past as a couple is in the past- we are the best of friends now. I’m pregnant with Liam’s child. Feeling a twinge in her stomach, she grimaced. Faking a smile, Liam noticed her hold her side. “Is he moving?” Instead of answering, Riley reached up for him, putting her small, warm hand on the back of his neck, lifting her lips to his. They kissed; lightly, then more urgently, his tongue back inside in her mouth, her hips tilted against his, her breasts against his chest, her whole body sending a message that was undeniable. Carrying her over to the kitchen table, he knew it was unhygienic to have sexual contact on the place where they ate as a family- but right now, it was a matter of urgency before their daughter decided to play cockblocker. Separating her legs as she sat on the edge of the table- he slid his hands between her legs, moving her panties to the side positioning fingers and thumb. He nuzzled against her, his lips on her neck, nibbling and kissing his way up to her earlobe, where she'd always moan in response. "Oh, Liam.” she whispered. "I love you, my king" she sighed, as he began working his fingers against the slick seam. His fingers stroked her slowly and gently. Losing herself inside her own pleasure, Liam watched her squeeze her eyes shut as she repositioned her hips up allowing him to pump harder. “Cum for me Ri.” Now frozen, all the muscles in her thighs became tense and quivered, and he felt her contract against his fingers. Removing his newly coated fingers, he seductively licked them before forcing a kiss on his wife’s lips. The mixture of saliva and her juices made Liam want to taste her more. Going down on her, he began laying sweet kisses from her neck; onto her breasts, on her stomach before arriving at the pelvic region. Placing sensual kisses on her inner thighs, he removed her underwear discarding it on the floor - then focused on her clit. Beginning with gentle circles, he licked up and down and all around. “Do you like it baby?” “Yes Liam.... do... not.... stop.”

After this encouragement, he began plunging his tongue in deep, he came back to her level- licking his lips. “You tasted so good baby.” He whispered in her ear. “Liam stop teasing me now, I want the main thing.”

Before she could recover, he pulled her closer to the edge laying her down. Liam always loved a standing up position, providing him with power and intense thrusting. Even though Riley was heavily pregnant, the King and Queen still managed to have a fantastic sex life. “Let me know if I hurt you or the baby Ri.” “Liam! Don’t leave me hanging, I want you. Please.”

Shaking his head at her, he teasingly rubbed his cock gently against her entrance- much to his wife’s annoyance. Sitting up ever so slightly - she provided him with that look- the look that she was about to commit treason. “Liam, do not piss off a pregnant woman.” “Oh so I can tease you once he’s here?” “Just fuck me already, your Majesty!” “Yes my Queen, lay back down beautiful.” He eventually entered her slowly, hearing her moan immediately. After the first thrust he decided to hold still, knowing that if he kept moving - if he gave himself up to her exquisite tightness, he would cum prematurely. He wanted her to cum at least once more- possibly ride out her high with him, and he definitely didn't want her to tease him the way he had done with her.

With every movement increasing, every moan Riley released was now becoming louder. As soon as her body began to jerk in response to her climaxing again, Liam found himself astoundingly moved. He knew he was close himself, but he wished he could hold off a bit longer- because soon they would be having sleepless nights. As Riley continued to cum, he felt an abrupt rush of his seed, racing through him. Holding on to her hips, he fixed his concentration onto his wife as he let out a low growl. When Riley felt the warmth of his climax, she sat up slowly. Liam pulled out, and immediately assisted his Queen to stand up. Kissing her on the lips, he then moved down to her stomach- which was now actively mimicking the Mexican wave.

“You’ve woke him up.” Riley laughed, still trying to catch her breath.

“Soon it’ll be him waking us up. I love you Riley Rhys.”

“I love you too Liam Rhys.” Sharing one last kiss, they both showered and got ready for their day.

*****

After a relaxing day, they decided to have an early night. Every day that went by, Riley was lacking energy the closer it got to her due date. Rolling to the side, she slowly sat up- remaining at the edge of the bed she began the breathing technique. Turning her head towards Liam, she shook her head witnessing him snoring. Hating disturbing her husband, it was now time to tell him the truth.

“Liam!” Knocked out of his nightmares hearing Riley shout his name, he woke up- his whole body covered in sweat.

“Riley. What’s up?” Seeing her sat at the edge of the bed, her head held in her hands.

“I have to go Liam....” Liam’s heart sank at those words, immediately assuming the reason was because of her secret talk with Drake before.

“What? Are you seeing Drake again?”

“What? Are you insane? We are friends Liam!” Fucking knew it.

“I’m sorry, I just overheard you both before.”

“So that’s why you was acting odd. I knew something was up. I knew the reason why. Why didn’t you just ask me there and then Liam?”

“I don’t know Riley. What’s up with you? I can’t believe I’ve sweat this much in bed. Is the heating on or something?”

“That’s why I have to go Liam, it’s not sweat. My waters have broke.... when I was speaking to Drake before, I asked him to move back into the palace with Hana and Jackson because I had braxton hicks- I needed them to be here to be on stand by for Ayah. I told him to not tell you because I didn’t want to worry you incase it was a false alarm. But right now, this baby’s coming. Can you ring him, and Bastien.” Losing his usual stoic expression, he panicked. Stumbling out of bed, he quickly put some clothes on. Shaking, he eventually dialled the number- Drake answered immediately and Liam was grateful that it was only 10pm, any later he would feel guilty for disturbing his friend.

“Drake. Bean is on his way. Can you collect Ayah. Can you ring Bastien for me too, I need to see to Riley.”

“Hey buddy, of course.” Drake walked straight to the quarters, walking in and seeing Liam a nervous wreck made him chuckle- knowing he was exactly the same when Hana gave birth to Jackson.

“Where’s the little princess? So it’s wasn’t a false alarm then? Mother’s intuition.”

“No Drake, it was the fucking kitchen table sex that helped too.” Riley snapped, not meaning to sound rude or bitchy- but the contractions were coming quicker.

“Li, calm down buddy. You’ve done this before.”

“Difference is Drake, I wasn’t here when her waters broke with Ayah. It was you, Hana and Leo.”

“Stop arguing, and get me to hospital. I don’t want to deliver him here.”

*****

Remembering the birth of Ayah, Liam nervously laughed at her comment during her last labour.

You son of a bitch! You are coming nowhere near me again... I’d have committed treason if you didn’t arrive in time....Yet here they were again. Feeling like a paranoid jerk, he was grateful for Drake looking after his daughter.

“You’re majesty, one last push. I can see the baby’s head. Just one more, I promise.”

Riley was lacking energy, she was uncontrollably sweaty, out of breath. Liam had been supporting her as best as he could and she was grateful. One more push and she would be holding their second child in her arms.

After one excruciating long push, the room was filled with tiny cries, Riley flung her head back- as the midwife weighed the baby. Relieved that it was finally over, she gave her husband another stern warning.

“Liam I told you this last time, but I mean it this time. You do not touch me ever again. I’m not going through this another time.” Liam shook his head, ignoring her as he fixated his gaze on his son. Kissing and hugging his Queen, he was so utterly proud of her again. Tears ran down his cheek, he didn’t care- he was overwhelmed with the view in front of him.

“Riley, he looks just like Ayah. I’m so proud of you. I love you so much.”

The midwife brought the Prince over to them, he weighed 8lb 6oz. Like Ayah he also had sparkling baby blues like both their parents that kept fluttering open every so often accompanied by a jet black head full of hair. Riley laid him on her chest- having that skin to skin bond. All the pain she had disappeared immediately as if it never existed. Stroking the newborns cheek, she had fallen in love instantly again.

“Hello, my little prince. Are you going to be a trouble caused like Uncle Leo? Or a charmer like daddy?”

Riley placed a kiss on the newborns head, Liam was just in awe seeing his wife and son together for the first time. Grateful that he was here for the whole labour this time. Liam held his sons tiny fragile hand, as he did when Ayah was born. He wrapped his hand around his father’s finger.

She’s already wrapped around your little finger Li. “Looks like he’s also wrapped around your little finger like our princess was.”

“Riley, how come our children look like you... he’s a mini you, like Ayah was. Daddy loves you so much our second little miracle, our Prince. You have NOW completed our family.” Emphasising the word ‘now’ purposely- Riley felt relieved. Their family was complete. Their two healthy children- were all they needed in their life. One of each gender. Riley smiled at Liam’s affectionate emotions towards their son. Moving up the bed so Liam could join them, the three of them snuggled close together.

“Happy birthday my Queen. I love you Ayah and Bean, so much.”

“He is the best birthday present I could have ever received. I love you and our children so much Liam. Thank you for providing me with this fairytale.”

The King and Queen Of Cordonia, would like to announce the birth of His royal Highness Prince Louis Alexander Rhys of Cordonia.

Weighing 8lb 6oz... born at 12.47am.

We would like to congratulate the couple on this fantastic news. The Prince also shares his birthday with his mother- her majesty. And we look forward to officially meeting our new Prince.

Ana De Luca - The trend

*****

Six months after Louis was born, Riley was in the bathroom. That reoccurring feeling was happening all over again. Holding Louis in her arm, Ayah stood next to her. Picking up the item off the basin, her face dropped. She could swear she could see the colour drain from her face.

Liam I told you this last time, but I mean it this time. You do not touch me ever again. I’m not going through this another time.

“Fuck my life....” Riley paused, looking at her two children. Then focusing her gaze down to her stomach. “LIAM!!!”

For centuries, Chicago has served as the stronghold for all supernaturals. It is controlled by an alliance of five clans: the ambitious and power-hungry Warlocks/Witches, the mercenary and ruthless Human Shifters, the degenerate and highbrow Animal Shifters, the honor bound and generational Hunters, and the secretive and cunning Vampires. No one clan strong enough to defeat all the others; no one clan strong enough to fend off humans if they knew. The unspoken agreement worked for centuries, the spats of violence always dealt with without too hard of feelings… until it didn’t.

The Awakening, Chapter 9

Chapter Summary – The Duke of Ramsford, Barthelemy Beaumont returns to House Beaumont. Liam prepares for the polo match charity fundraiser in support of disaster relief in Portavira. Sophie attends classes at the University of Cordonia. King Constantine reveals his illness.

Music Inspiration: The Crown Prince, Waylon Jennings

A/N1: Bethany Beaumont, Maxwell’s mother, is originally from the U.S. and is Barthelemy Beaumont’s second wife. Annabelle Beaumont (deceased) is Bertrand’s mother.

A/N2: ‘Social Season’ in this AU series refers to a traditional period in the spring/summer for royalty and members of the court to take part in Balls, dinner parties and charity events.

A/N3: My submission for Choices Flashfics @choicesflashfics, Week #68, prompt 1 - “Don’t start something you can’t finish.”

Personal Care Home, Vallenheim

Standing in the waiting room, staring out of the window at the parking lot outside of the personal care home, the gray-haired man appeared aloof and unapproachable to anyone passing by. That was, until he spotted his wife and eldest son step out of the town car. The corners of his mouth upturned as he saw his auburn-haired wife gracefully step onto the curb and walk toward the building. His son, Bertrand, followed behind her, his back straight, his expression stoic.

As the two approached the door, the man straightened his posture and smoothed his salt and pepper hair. He took a deep breath, preparing himself for the reunion he had been anxiously expecting after the years apart.

The door swung open, and his wife entered, her dark eyes lighting up as they landed on him. "Barthelemy," she breathed, a smile spreading across her face.

"Bethany," he replied, stepping toward her and taking her hands in his. "It is so good to see you."

"And you," she said, squeezing his hands in return.

Their moment was interrupted by their son, who cleared his throat. "Father," he said, inclining his head respectfully.

"Bertrand," the man replied. "I trust you've been taking proper care of your mother."

"Of course," Bertrand replied, a hint of defensiveness in his tone. "I wouldn't dream of doing otherwise."

Bethany chuckled. "He's done a fine job, Barthelemy, along with Maxwell," she assured him. "I couldn't have asked for better sons."

Barthelemy nodded, satisfied. "Good."

He then turned his attention to the doctor, who had been watching the exchange silently. "Is everything in order, Doctor? I'd like to get home to Cordonia as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Grace," the doctor replied, handing him a thick folder. "Here are all the instructions and prescriptions you'll need. The nurse will be along shortly with the medication you need to take during your trip home. Just be sure to follow the dosage schedule carefully."

"Of course," Barthelemy replied, a hint of irritation in his voice. He loathed being told what to do, even by medical professionals. Unbeknownst to Bethany and Bertrand, he was playing, along with the doctor and nurse, the role of a lifetime: The miraculously awakened coma patient.

The doctor smiled apologetically. "Forgive me, Your Grace. I just want to make sure you have all the information you need."

"I understand, Doctor. And I appreciate your thoroughness."

The nurse entered the room with a wheelchair, which Barthelemy at once objected to.

"Surely, that's not necessary," he protested.

"It's just protocol, Your Grace," the nurse explained. "It's clinic policy.”

"Very well," Barthelemy sighed, reluctantly settling into the chair.

Bethany and Bertrand flanked him, each taking the handle of the wheelchair.

"Are you ready, Father?" Bertrand asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be," Barthelemy replied.

The Cordonian Royal Polo Club

"Hey, Liam, I thought I'd find you out here," Drake called out as he approached the stable, his boots crunching on the gravel.

"Oh, hey Drake," Liam answered. "I didn't think you were coming until later."

"Yeah, well, I finished my rounds early, and I thought I'd come by and see how you're doing. How was the New Year's Ball?"

"It was excellent," Liam smiled, his mind flashing back to his romantic interlude with Lady Sophie. "We had a lot of fun."

"I'll bet you did," Drake smirked, knowing that his 'smitten' best friend personally asked Sophie to attend.

"It's not like that," Liam protested, though his ears turned slightly pink.

"Mmm hmm.”

"It's not ..." Liam started.

"Whatever you say, Liam." Drake chuckled, shaking his head knowingly.

"Anyway," Liam said, changing the subject, "I'm just getting started on the polo drills."

"Mind if I watch?"

"Of course not."

Drake sat on a bench while Liam mounted his horse. His crisp white polo shirt accentuated his tanned muscular physique with his riding breeches and boots.

"All right, boy, let’s see what you can do," Liam calmly spoke, gently kicking the horse's flanks.

The horse took off like a shot, galloping across the field at top speed.

Liam leaned forward, urging the horse on.

Drake watched, transfixed, as Liam and the horse moved as one, their bodies in perfect sync.

"That was impressive! Excellent!" Drake called out, as Liam brought the horse to a halt in front of him.

"Thanks," Liam replied, breathing heavily. "He's a dependable and efficient steed," giving the horse a pat on the neck.

Liam dismounted and accepted a bottle of water and towel from an attendant. As Liam and Drake walked toward the clubhouse, the ranch hands steered the thoroughbred back to the barn.

“That reminds me, Drake. Are you still available to join my polo team for the fund-raising event in Portavira next week?”

“Yes, Mel and I are looking forward to kicking noble ass." Drake grinned knowing that Neville was on the opposing team.

"I still need to find one more player since Rashad had to cancel."

“What about Sophie? Melanie tells me she played polo in New York.”

“She mentioned she studied dressage back in the U.S. and was thrilled to learn that Marabelle was quite proficient. That skill could come in handy for the team.” Liam pondered aloud.

“Sophie is a skilled rider, and she would be a terrific addition to the team, Li.”

“I can't wait to see her ride again," Liam responded, smiling,

"Uh huh, I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun," Drake smirked.

Liam sighed, shaking his head. "Not everything has to be a double entendre, Drake."

"I know, but it's so much more fun that way," he cheekily responded.

University of Cordonia, Capital

"I can't believe it's been a week since the New Year's Ball," Sophie exclaimed, taking a bite of her sandwich. "Time seems to be flying by."

"I know," Maxwell replied, stirring his salad. "I feel like I need to plan the next Beaumont Bash already!"

Sophie laughed. "Do you ever stop thinking about these events?"

"Not when there's so much work to do to organize," Maxwell grinned. "But that's what makes me so good at it."

"You certainly are, but Max, this is your last semester...don't start something you can't finish."

“I don’t have to worry about my grades; I have already met the requirement to graduate with honors.”

"I've been thinking," Maxwell said, a mischievous glint in his eye, "about a different theme for the next Beaumont Bash after my graduation."

"And what theme were you thinking about having?" Sophie asked, knowing exactly what was coming.

"I'm going to make it a costume ball!"

"I knew it! That sounds like so much fun," Sophie grinned.

"It will be, and you'll be celebrating your first-year anniversary as a Cordonian.”

"Of course, I'll be there.”

"So, how are things with Liam going?" Maxwell asked, his eyes twinkling.

"Good," Sophie blushed. "We had a great time at the New Year's Ball."

"Did you have a good time, or 'a good time'?" Maxwell waggled his eyebrows.

"Maxwell!"

"Okay, okay. I will not push."

"What did I miss?" Daniel asked, as he grabbed a chair to sit down.

"Sophie was just telling me about her New Year's kiss with Liam," Maxwell winked.

"Ooh, do tell."

"There's nothing to tell," Sophie laughed, her cheeks burning.

"Come on, Soph, give us all the deets," Daniel prodded.

"Fine. We kissed. It was amazing."

"I knew it!" Maxwell exclaimed.

"So, when's the wedding?" Daniel joked.

"Shut up," Sophie retorted, laughing.

"Seriously, I'm happy for you. It's been a long time since I've seen you this happy, Squirrel."

"Thanks, Daniel."

"So, how are you doing with your Dad coming back tomorrow, Max?" Daniel inquired.

"I'm okay. I mean, I am glad he is better. But I do not know if I am ready to face him yet.”

"It's still so weird to me that you and Sophie are related."

"Yeah, it's a small world," Maxwell chuckled.

"No kidding. So, what is the deal with your Dad, anyway? What was he doing all that time?"

"He was in a coma," Maxwell replied, his voice soft.

"Oh, shit. I am so sorry, Max."

"It's okay. It's just..." Maxwell paused, looking uncomfortably at his hands.

"What?"

"It's hard to know what to believe, you know? After everything he put us through."

"I get that. But don't forget, he's still your Dad."

"He was a shit one, though," Maxwell pointed out.

Sophie put her hand on Daniel’s arm, “Let’s change the conversation, Dan.”

"It’s all right. I always knew that I would have to deal with it eventually. But right now, I just want to focus on graduating and figuring out my next steps."

"That sounds like a good plan," Daniel agreed.

"Yeah. It'll all work out in the end."

"That's the spirit"

Daniel slid his binder under his arm, "... see you guys later. Oh, and Max, just remember, you've got this."

"Thanks, man."

Maxwell watched his friend leave, feeling grateful for the support.

"He's right, you know," Sophie began.

"About what?" Maxwell looked at Sophie

"You've got this. No matter what happens with your father, you will be okay. You're stronger than you realize."

Maxwell sighed. "I know you are right. I am also grateful that Mom will be there as a buffer for you."

Sophie wrapped her arm around him.

"It will be fine.

Now, let's get to class before we're late."

Sophie and Maxwell walked together out of the dining hall to their next classes, feeling bolstered by each other's support.

Cordonian Royal Palace

King Constantine sat in his study, staring out the window.

After hearing the devastating prognosis about his health from his personal physician, he directed his queen to track down and summon Leo as soon as possible. Regina, to her credit, tried to assuage her stepson’s concerns as to Constantine's urgency when she found him in the palace gymnasium.

However, Leo knew that his father would not have requested his presence so suddenly unless the news was dire.

Constantine stood up as Leo and Regina walked into his office, his posture stiff, his face grim.

Leo looked at his father and at once sensed the seriousness of the situation.

"Father, you wanted to see me?"

"Yes, son," Constantine said, his voice low. "I'm afraid I have received some rather unpleasant news."

"What is it?" Leo asked, his concern piqued.

"I've just come from a meeting with the royal doctors, and they've given me a prognosis."

"Prognosis?"

"Yes," Constantine said, his expression darkening. "They've determined that my health has deteriorated to the point where I can no longer carry out my duties as king."

Leo's blood ran cold. He knew what was coming next.

"W-what are you saying?"

"I'm saying that my time as king is over. And yours has begun."

"What?" Leo swallowed loudly.

"You're going to be crowned king, Leo. And you will ascend the throne immediately."

"I have advised the Prime Minister to make the formal announcement tomorrow morning to the country."

"I have begun preparations for your Royal wedding to Madeleine as well." Regina added.

"What? No!" Leo shouted.

"Calm yourself, Leo," Constantine admonished.

"How can you ask me to calm down?" Leo demanded, his hands shaking. "You're asking me to give up my life, my freedom. My future."

"As the Crown Prince, you know your duty to your country is paramount. It is what you have been preparing for since birth."

"No. I won't do it." Shaking his head from this unexpected shock.

"Don't be so dramatic, Leo," Regina said, her tone exasperated. "This is your birthright.”

"It's not drama," Leo insisted. "I will not marry Madeleine. I don't love her. And she doesn't love me."

"Love has nothing to do with it. You are betrothed to her noble house," Constantine stated. "This is about duty and honor."

"And I won't be bound by either," Leo declared, his eyes blazing. "If I have to marry her, I'll abdicate. You can't make me be king."

Constantine's jaw clenched, and he stared at Leo with a mixture of anger and disappointment.

Leo turned and stormed out of the room, leaving his father and stepmother behind him, fuming.

Constantine sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "He'll come around, Regina."

‘It’s hard to be the crowned prince

When it all hits home

You can’t hide behind the wall

Around the throne’

5 Questions for Writers

Tagged by @kunstpause ! anyone wants to join in, they can!

1. Do you have a favorite character to write? Who and why?

2. Do you have a favorite trope to write? Or one you want to write?

3. Share your favorite description you’ve written?

4. Share your favorite dialogue you’ve written?

5. Scene you haven’t written, but want to?

1, my favourite character to write Hmmmmm, i don’t have many POVs, and all of them are relatively straightforward; no unexpected twists or hidden sides to most of them. That said, it’s probably Lana Beniko. Not only do I love her, but in the same universe Arro’s Story happens in? She was Cipher Nine (Wearing a different face and name) and Arro is the only one who knows. But she made a conscious decision to turn back into Lana Beniko (her birth name and face, before a bunch of twists got her enrolling into the Imp Academy with a false name and face). After she killed Hunter, she turned her back on the spy gig completely. She has even taken pains to hide her instincts and skills so that she can be “just Lana”. Some of these skills include Theron-level slicing, the best aim in the galaxy, exceptional awareness of her surroundings and a keen eye for bugs and tails. She revived Cipher Nine (Mercei Tanniels) just once; during the assault on Tython, she snuck onworld to kill ex-Matriarch Kolovish of the Kalikori, the last surviving member of the Star Cabal. She did, of course use her skills in the hunt for Arro, but it wasn’t the same as becoming the foxy-faced assassin again.

So my point: whenever I write her, I’m always trying to keep her skillset and history in the back of my mind when I write—that and her consciously subduing her thoughts so that she can be “just Lana”. Unfortunately, I’m not the best writer out there, not by a longshot, and so such allusions are very, very rare. More of my writing goes into her relationship (and psychic bond) with Arro, both of their feelings, and so i don’t get to highlight Lana the ex-Super Spy as much as I want to. But I am always thinking about it, and it’s fun for me!

2. Favourite trope to write, or one I want to? Crossovers; I badly want to move Lana and/or Arro to meet Anakin, Ahsoka, and Obiwan in the Clone Wars era, or Maul, Ezra, Kanan, and Ahsoka in the Rebels era. As to other common tropes I like Chosen Ones and Chekov’s guns... but with a difference. There can be several Chosen Ones; Satele’s prophecy in “Knight’s Song” says that he is one of several who can hold back the upcoming tides of darkness that she foresees, but there are others out there who can too, both individually or in concert with him; Lana, Akahte, and Kai’rene being the strongest contenders for that. I do have some Chekov’s guns waiting in cold storage for the Eternal War. Looking forward to those.

3. Favourite description I’ve written? Uh... There is this one Alternate Ending of ASOIAF that I wrote, inspired by Arthas’ ascension to the Frozen Throne. I mean, GOT copied blatantly from the Wrath of the Lich King trailer, so I thought “why not?” and parodied Arthas becoming the Lich King. Here is the opening:

All was quiet at Castle Northmost, as it had been for tens of thousands of years. Standing so far North that heading out in any direction would mean going South, anyone living in the Castle would feel like this place was completely cut off from the rest of the world. The howling winds drowned out all sounds for miles, and thick snowfall made visibility so poor that you couldn’t see three feet in front of you even if there was light.

However, there was no one living in Castle Northmost, and no one ever had or would. It had not been built with the living in mind. It was built by an ancient people long forgotten, whom the world only knew as “The Others”, or “White Walkers”, although few of them walked these icy halls and tunnels.

For centuries, the largest number of them had slept, as only two stood vigil at the door. But in recent years, more and more of them had awoken and left the Castle, leaving fewer behind every day. Today, the only White Walkers dwelling in the castle were the two doorwardens.

The pair stood staring straight ahead, just as they had for countless years without rest. It was their duty to wait, always to wait, for the next one to approach these walls.

Their wait was about to come to an end. Out of the snow a man in thick black woolen clothes appeared. His face was almost completely covered to protect him from the cold, but the wardens didn’t need to see his face. They knew exactly who he was.

“Greetings Jon Snow,” they said in unison. “Welcome to Northmost.”

4. Favourite Dialogue that I have written?

“You Braced my son’s body just before the impact, and probably saved his life. Do you think he will thank you for it? That he is more reasonable than I?” Arro didn’t answer, looking like he was readying himself. He Reached for one of the Lightsaber pikes fallen on the floor behind him and called it into his waiting palm. Activated its blade, a bar of blue energy springing up at its lip. “And you didn’t strike when my back was turned. How noble.” “Not nobility.” Arro responded. “Pride.” —Eternal War, Chapter 2

“No matter how hard I struggled, I was always under His thumb. His slave. Until you killed Him. I’m quite grateful for that, you know. That’s why you’re the first one to whom I have willingly shown all of my marks. I don’t strip for just anybody.Indeed, I am eternally grateful to you,” she continued. Then her eyes narrowed, and she stalked closer, a predator approaching for the kill. “However… I so vividly dreamed and dreamed of killing Him myself! It was my goal to break free of His chains, to show Him a fraction of the agony He had caused me. And to see Him suffer with my own eyes. And you…” She placed her fingers on his temple and fed blinding lightning directly into his nerves. “You took that from me,” she finished when he stopped screaming. “And that… that is an offense graver than you could imagine.”

—Eternal War Chapter III: Vaylin.

5: Scenes I haven’t written, but want to Valkorion’s end, from swtor. I desperately want to finish the climax of Eternal War, but at this rate I don’t know if I will :Cries hard.

There are also these stories from Path of the Sword Saint, set in Final Fantasy 14. The first is Ryosen, the main character, entering Ul’dah for the first time after his friends the Scions were accused of... well those events at the end of A Realm Reborn. The second is a secret *wink*. Third is of Ryosen facing off against Ran’jeet, a main boss from Shadowbringers expansion, and the final one is his death scene (sobs)

Finally, I want to write a bit more from Thedas: the marriage of Torren Cousland and Bethany Amell-Hawke, and their taking a secret lover (Leliana) in a mutually Consensual threesome. Torren isn’t the Warden of this universe, but he is a major character and ends up as the sole ruler of Ferelden.
