Note
hi, i'm currently potted plant witching as well (just planted my first crop of veggie/herb/flower seeds & got some more containers & soil today for more planting this weekend) and i would love to know more about your garden this year; would you be willing to outline your plans? any special herbs or projects? Thanks!! <3 love your blog!
🌿🌿🌿 HYPERFIXATION ACTIVATED. 🌿🌿🌿
OH I HAVE SO MANY PLANS, LET ME TELL YOU.
This is the first year that Ragnar and I are doing actual work and sweat equity with the yard at our new place. Last year things were just too chaotic and we didn't have the time or the energy to do much of anything. We trimmed occasionally and I harvest some wild plants, but that was about it.
This year, it's Go Time.
Last weekend, I finally busted out the gorgeous barrel pots we got for Christmas and spent my April market earnings on potting soil, garden tools, and seedlings. When we lived in the apartment, I had a pretty hefty window garden with herbs and flowers and a few vegetables, so I'm eager to recreate that in an outdoor space where the plants can really thrive. (I mean, I grew cherry tomatoes and three kinds of peppers in 10" pots indoors and they got pretty big, so I can only imagine being outdoors will go even better with fresh air and rain and pollinators.)
The potted garden has Napoli tomatoes, poblano and cayenne peppers, green sage, and rosemary, along with something I've never tried growing before - blueberries! I'm planning to add additional pots and more herbs later on, but I felt like this was a really good start. If I can manage it, I want to grow a huge planter of nothing but spinach and sweet basil so I can make pesto this summer.
We've also started clearing and tilling a space out in the yard proper for a raised-bed garden. Nothing too big or ambitious, just something we can try some larger veggies in. We're hoping to try the Three Sisters model with hybrid corn, snap peas, green beans, and kabocha pumpkins. I was also hoping to put in napa cabbage, but there are quite a lot of slugs in the yard when it rains, so perhaps not. I'm toying with the idea of planting some late crops for fall and winter harvests as well. I have sugarplum visions of strings of peppers and braids of garlic hanging in our kitchen with many jars of preserves and sauce in the pantry.
We might also try some other fruits if things go well, maybe raspberries or grapes, but that's more of a Next Summer project. The fence and the ground around it needs some work first and we don't want to overdo things the first year. (I'd really love to put in a little serviceberry tree, but that might be pushing things a bit with regard to space.)
There's also a side garden that's in need of some TLC where I'm vaguely tossing around the idea of climbing flower vines (clematis or morning glory or trumpet flower maybe? something local) and maybe some ground cover in the form of periwinkle. There's also a downspout that really needs a rain barrel, so that's next on the list.
There are sections of the yard that we've deliberately left wild as well, hoping to encourage native plants and pollinators. The clover patches are massive and produce lots of four-leafers and blossoms, so the bees are having a field day. There's also wild dogbane sprouting up now that the vetchweed is cleared and wild plantain (aka white man's foot) starting to come in along the walkway. If I have my druthers, I'll be planting more wildflowers this summer.
Have some pictures and tell me about your garden!

Archiving Love, Chapter 2
Chapter 1 is here!
We're back with Evelien and their first week working in the Abbey. This week, we've got a visit from Aether and things get a bit... sexual.
Chapter: 2/2 Rating: Explicit cw: None Words: 5.9k
Tumblr media
Sunlight creeps through the curtains of your small room, casting a warm glow across the space. You wake up slowly, the soft light coaxing you out of the dream realm. Stretching, you sit up, the memories of last night's encounter with Aether swirling in your mind. The shadows along the ceiling that rippled and moved with a practiced and feral ease must have been his band mates, the ones you’ve seen scattered throughout the campus on the extremely rare occasion that you had reason to come here. Now that it’s your home, the Ghouls feel closer than ever.
As your gaze drifts across the room it lands on a small plate sitting on the table across the room from your bed, balanced carefully in front of the window on rickety legs. The plate is carefully arranged: slices of fresh, ripe fruit, a warm, flaky croissant, and a small pot of honey. Beside the plate, there's a delicate cup of tea, the steam still rising gently. The oranges are shiny and the apples are shined to a perfect sheen in the small spot of light from the sun. A small bunch of grapes rests against the croissant and honey pot, newly trimmed from the vine.
Your fingers brush against a note left beside the plate. The handwriting is neat, a little flourish with each letter, and a swoopy signature that makes your heart grip in your chest. A smile tugs at your lips as you realize that the breakfast tray is from Aether, and you run your fingers over the dried ink, feeling the slight indent in the parchment from the pen nib. "Sorry for the scare last night," it reads, "I hope this makes up for it a bit." There's a small, sketched smiley face at the bottom of the note and you huff out a laugh when you see it.
You can't help but feel a surge of warmth at this thoughtful gesture, and you sit down quickly to tug the plate closer to yourself. You make quick enough work of the small plate, fully savoring each bite of fruit and croissant, still warm from the oven. The tea matches the fruity blend perfectly, and you make a mental note to yourself to ask Aether if the Ghouls can taste the same as people— perhaps the plate was put together by someone with a more normal palate and simply just delivered by the Ghoul. A shake of your head dispels the thoughts— don’t let your anxiety take something good away from you before you’ve even finished it.
Finishing the meal, you push the plate aside, a sense of contentment settling over you. You lean back heavily in your chair and blow out a comfortable breath, folding your hands over your stomach and looking out the frosted pane of glass that serves as a window. The sun is steadily rising higher into the sky and the brightness gives you a brief hope of a warm day before you see the wind, bone chillingly cold, kick up. You huff out another sigh and push back from the table, standing and brushing yourself off. The library awaits, with its endless shelves and ancient secrets, but now there's an added layer to your day – a connection with Aether that seems to grow with every steady beat of your heart.
Stepping out of your room, the now becoming familiar embrace of the library greets you— it’s almost as if the incense from the library refuses to leave its confines, and the smell hits you like an embroidered pillow to the face. The shelves stand tall, guardians of knowledge and history. Today, they seem to whisper secrets, perhaps stories of other hidden romances within these ancient walls. Your heart beats with a new rhythm, each step an echo of the curiosity and excitement Aether has ignited inside your belly. Ghouls were allowed to have relationships with Siblings at this Abbey, and even if they weren’t… you aren’t a Sibling, are you?
As you walk among the rows of books, your mind replays every detail of last night's encounter. The way Aether moved, the sound of his laughter, the gentle sincerity in his eyes – it all paints a picture of someone complex, someone intriguingly different from the rumors and whispers that float through the Abbey. Aether didn’t seem feral at all when you met him last night, and he had never had any inclination towards the violence you’ve heard horror stories about. 
Midway through the morning, as you're engrossed in an ancient manuscript, a shadow falls over the page. You look up with a slight huff of indignation before you recognize who’s blocking your lighting.  He's standing there, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if he's both pleased and slightly nervous to see you. The air around you seems to charge with electricity, a current running between you two, unseen but deeply felt.
Aether breaks the silence, his voice a soft murmur that sends a shiver down your spine. "Did you enjoy the breakfast?" he asks, his eyes searching yours for a reaction. You nod, words escaping you in the moment. There's a comfort in this exchange, a simplicity that belies the complexity of emotions brewing beneath the surface.
He can read you so easily, and even if he only pretends to understand what you say, it's enough to keep you going back for more.
You nod again. "Very much so. Thank you for asking."
He chuckles, taking another step closer. Your heart is pounding like crazy now, his presence a tangible thing in the room. If he takes one more step, he'll be too close for you to back away. But you have no intention of doing so. His face tilts downwards, and the next thing you know, he's leaning forward to brush his lips against yours, his gloved hands laying flat against the table you're sitting at. You feel your whole body come alive, your mind still reeling from the shock of his closeness. He tastes faintly of tea and something else that you can't name-- ozone, maybe?
Or is it just the air around him? Either way, you want to taste him, breathe him in, become intoxicated with his scent. With everything about him.
He lets out a low growl, pulling away to look at you with hunger behind the glass of his helmet. You want nothing more than to dive into those deep amber pools-- to lose yourself completely in those mysterious eyes. They speak to you without words, their warmth, their magnetism pulling you further and further under their spell. He reaches out a hand, tentatively, slowly caressing your cheek with long fingers. Your skin tingles where they touch. "Why don't I come back later on this evening, when you're alone and the Abbey is asleep?"
The power thrumming between the two of you nearly overwhelms you as you hold his gaze. Is he truly considering leaving right now? To come back here after dark, just so he can kiss you some more? Of course, your heart leaps in anticipation. You've waited all day to hear his voice, to see his eyes, to feel his body pressed against yours once more. 
"I think I'd like that," you say, a sudden burst of shyness overtaking you now that his lips are parted from yours. Before you can help it, your eyes skate down to the zipper of his pants, a noticeable bulge starting to swell there. His breath catches when he notices your gaze, and his forked tongue darts out to lick his lower lip.
"Good. See you tonight then." Aether winks garishly before he leans in and bridges the gap between the two of you. His mouth is hot and wet as he kisses you goodbye, lingering for a moment with a sigh of resignation as he finally pulls away.  The air in the room crackles around you as he leaves, disappearing down the hall with the door firmly shut behind him.
All thoughts of books vanish as your mind wanders off, unable to process anything other than the amazing Ghoul that just left the room. As much as you love to read, it doesn't matter anymore; your bookmarks and highlighting are scattered all over the table, forgotten by now. Instead, you let your gaze travel across the room, falling on the large doors leading outside the library, to the greater hall of the Abbey. You could probably find him, if you tried hard enough... But no, anxiety wins this time. You'll wait until this evening, when he comes back.
An hour passes in agonizingly slow minutes, interspersed with furtive glances at the door to the Library, willing it to open so that he will appear once more. It won’t be until well after night falls that he’ll come, but that doesn’t stop you from wishing the time would move faster and faster. You feel like you're waiting for Christmas, a child desperate to tear at the wrapping paper and bows that hide their presents from them. His skin, hidden under the black ensemble that the Ghouls wear, was warm where he touched you.
You want him to touch you again.
You want him to kiss you again.
You want more.
The moment you see Aether step through the doors, you're already waiting for him. Your legs are jiggling as you sit, but you're smiling so broadly that it hurts. You rise from your seat and stride over to where he's standing, waiting for him to put his arms around your waist. "I'm so happy to see you," you whisper into his shoulder. He returns your embrace, his own arms strong and firm around you. The only sound in the room is the deep, even breathing of the Ghoul.
"I'm happy to see you, too." He pulls away from the hug and looks down at you, a smile on his face-- or what's visible of his face, below the break in his mask. He runs his thumbs along your cheekbones, making you shudder slightly in a sudden surge of renewed desire. 
"I wanted to see you again." The words feel weak as you speak them.
"You've seen me a lot recently." Your cheeks grow red at the teasing, but it's true. He's seen you twice now, and kissed you twice now-- once with hesitation, and once with intent. You move closer to him, wanting to feel his warmth again. He chuckles at this, a soft sound, and his lips move towards yours, his breath hot and sweet. Aether leans back in, his lips brushing against yours, tantalizingly close. His eyes meet yours, and his forked tongue darts out again, moistening his lower lip.
"Is that so wrong?" Your heart thumps-- was this the kind of flirting he expected from you? But what did you know about flirting?
"I suppose not." Aether smirks and presses a gentle kiss to your lips. You reach up, cupping his cheek in your hand and running your thumb across his smooth skin, pulling back slightly when your thumb bumps against his helmet. He leans away from you at the contact, his arms dropping from your shoulders to reach behind his head. "Let me get this out of the way, pet." The buckle at the back of the helmet releases with a clinking sound, and he pulls it off of his head with practiced ease. "Much better." He smiles down at you, his eyes bright and alive, his teeth sharp and white. Two fangs peek out on his lower lip, a quiet type of danger. 
You've never enjoyed danger, but this was different.
His smile turns sly, and his hands are at the collar of his shirt, fingers working quickly to unbutton it. He's wearing a simple black undershirt underneath, and the urge to feel his bare skin against your own suddenly becomes overwhelming. You press closer, reaching up to tug at the fabric. He catches your wrists in one hand, laughing quietly.
"What's gotten into you today, pet? It's only been a few hours." You laugh in response, struck with a wave of uncertainty and anxiety. Aether sees this, his cocksure smile slipping into one of concern. "Are you alright with this, love? I had assumed-"
"No, no. I'm fine." You slip your hands back around his shoulders, pull him closer, press your lips against his neck and whisper, "I want this."
He chuckles, his laughter low and gravelly. "If that's what you want, pet." His lips brush against yours again, this time harder, more urgent. You pull him closer, and his hands are on your waist, on the small of your back. When his cold fingers slip under the hem of your short dress you gasp, your lips falling from his.
"Not here. Back in my room." You take his hand and tug him towards the door of your bedroom, tucked away in the depths of the library, far from wandering eyes or midnight visitors. He follows willingly, a smile on his lips as his eyes roam over your body, taking in every detail. You can't help but wonder what he thinks, if he likes what he sees-- you never have yourself, but something about the way his eyes glow when they slide over your curves gives you a little more self confidence.
Once back in your room, he closes the door behind him, the soft glow of the lamp casting warm light on the area. Your gaze falls on the altar in the corner, the small collection of personal items on it reminding you of the importance of your home. A rush of adrenaline speeds through your veins, the thought of Aether being in your small and inhabiting your privacy-- it feels more intimate than sex ever could.
You reach out for him, grabbing the front of his shirt and pulling him towards you with a hint of trepidation and nervousness. He chuckles and wraps his arms around your waist, his lips already on yours. "Let me take care of you, pet," he murmurs into your mouth. His fangs prick your lower lips and you struggle not to smile into the kiss. Heat floods your lower belly and you can feel your muscles tighten in response to the pleasure even just kissing this Ghoul brings you. Who would've thought you'd be here-- kissing the Ghoul you've been secretly crushing on since the first time he came to your cabin with a book delivery.
You reach up, your hands sliding up his torso, his shirt bunching up at the hem as you lift it up. His skin is smooth and warm, slightly greyish in tone and dappled with coarse black hair. You run your fingers over the muscles in his abdomen, a contented sigh slipping past his lips as his head drops back and breaking the kiss. "It's been a long time since anyone touched me," he admits, a bit bashfully. The way he's holding you, the way his hips are pressed against yours, his desire for you is obvious. You can feel the thick length of his cock against your belly where it rests, swollen and hard. You swallow, the sudden nervousness making your mouth go dry.
"You've done so well so far," he purrs. His fingers slip under the hem of your dress, and you raise your arms as he pulls it up and off. The cool air of your bedroom kisses your skin and you shiver, a chill running down your spine and making you press closer to his warmth. "I can feel how tense you are, pet." Aether's finger traces the line of your spine and you shiver again. You're wearing nothing underneath, and the only thing separating his skin from yours is a pair of cotton panties. His claws slip over the elastic band of your panties and he arches an eyebrow smoothly at you in question. You give a nod and he hooks his finger into the waistband and pushes them down, leaving you fully exposed to his gaze. "You're beautiful," he says, his eyes roaming over your body. 
"You're one to talk," you say, a flush tinging your cheeks as you say it. He is beautiful, though, that's the problem-- he has an otherworldliness to him that only accentuates his features, making him feel almost untouchable... until now. You bring a hand to the side of his face, stroking gently until your palm rests against his jawline. 
"I know it's a bit strange to be here in the middle of the night, but I really like you. And I wanted you to know that." Your gaze flits away from his eyes, back towards the wall. There was no chance of the Cardinal coming in, was there? It's already past 8 pm, and- "Hey," Aether cuts through your silent worries, "Take a breath, Evie. We're alone." His hand trails along your shoulder, warm and comforting in its stability.
"Sorry. I didn't expect to be here so soon," you say, huffing out a breath of nerves.
"It's alright. It's understandable. I'm not here on an official errand for Papa, and I doubt you expected me to come all the way back here after we parted ways this morning... even if I did say I would, eh, pet?" He cocks an eyebrow again, this time as a joke, and you allow yourself to giggle.
"You did promise to return this evening," you say, biting your lower lip, the nervousness returning. You wonder if he's been waiting for this moment as long as you have. "I didn't actually expect you to, though." Another tinge of color in your cheeks, another slanted grin from him.
"How could I not, pet?" His large hand covers the side of your face gently, his thumb stroking your cheek as he leans closer, closing the distance between your lips. "Now can I take you?" he asks, his breath ghosting over your lips. You can feel his arousal pressing into your belly, the heady scent of him making your head swim. He smells like musk and incense, ozone and heat.
"Please," you whisper. The word escapes from your lips on a breath, a soft sigh, a request from the depths of your heart. It's something you didn't know you wanted so bad until he spoke it into being, and now that it's been spoken aloud, it's all you can think about. Your cunt throbs with a sudden amorous ache and you struggle to say anything more. "I want you."
"I know. I can feel it." His fingers slide down the column of your neck, your skin prickling with goosebumps as his clawed fingertips graze over your breast and across your nipple, tweaking the small nub between his fingers through your bra. With another raised eyebrow and silent nod, he slips a finger beneath the strap of your bra and slides it down your arm until you pull it free, his other hand mimicking the motion on the other side. Your head swims as he holds both of your breasts in his hands, running his thumb over your nipples before giving them both a playful tweak.
"Have you done this before, dove?" he asks, his voice lower. When you shake your head no, the crests of his cheeks seem to darken slightly, and his pupils blow black. A forked tongue flicks out between his teeth, wetting his lips. "I'll show you everything, then. First," he begins, "We have to make sure we're both lubed and stretched, yeah?..." He moves around you, guiding you to lay back on the bed. You watch, transfixed, as your insides suddenly flood with desire as he frees his cock from the zipper of his pants, allowing you a look at the head, red and swollen and larger than you'd expected. The tip is flushed and already wet with pre-cum, beading at the end of it like morning dew. 
"I trust you," you whisper, the words settling in your gut as you say them. Your clit twitches slightly and you become acutely aware of how much you want him. "Don't hold back." Aether moves until you're situated comfortably in the position that he wants you, his hands parting your thighs and exposing your wet cunt to his touch. He takes a moment to study you, his eyes roaming across your body before he touches you again, bringing one finger to your clit and pressing softly. His amber eyes watch as you inhale sharply, your hips canting upward into the sensation. You're no stranger to sexual feelings-- you've touched yourself plenty... but this is different.
The anticipation. The tension in the air. The thrill of what it will feel like once his cock is inside of you, filling you... The thought of it is almost too much.
You let out a moan and buck again. "Keep doing that," you whisper, a smile spreading across your face as you say it. It feels good, yes, but it feels better to trust him with your body and soul more than anything. The pad of his finger slips lower, circling around your entrance in a teasing motion that has you squirming underneath him. You reach up, grasping for the collar of his undershirt and he catches your fingers between his own, lacing them together as his finger slides into you.
The sudden pleasure of his finger sliding perfectly into your core has you arching off the bed, a groan escaping your throat as he curls it into a beckoning motion. You squeeze his hand in yours and he allows himself to fall forward over you, pressing your joined hands into the bed beside your head and lathing his tongue across your nipple. His hips grind into yours, the friction of his clothing against your clit making you whine with need. He presses his finger deeper into you, rubbing against the upper wall and pressing upwards.
"Oh, that's good," you say, wriggling to give him more room. His lips curl upwards against your skin and you realize he's smiling almost in the same instant that his teeth clamp down on your nipple. He groans around your breast, suckling at the skin hungrily as his finger increases speed, a second pressing at your opening alongside his other digit, causing you to shudder. You squirm beneath him, enjoying the feeling of him stretching your cunt, his tongue flicking at your nipple in earnest now.
"Tell me... if I'm going... too fast," Aether huffs out between breaths and kisses as he makes his way to your other breast, lavishing the same attention on it. Your nipples are stiff, aching pebbles of arousal, and his lips and teeth and tongue are not doing anything to relieve you of that feeling.
"More," you breathe, canting your hips upward into his hand and gasping when his palm brushes your clit. He grins against your soft skin again, looking up at you and resting his chin on your belly. Intentionally, his hand slows down, making you feel every ridge on his fingers as he slides them slowly in and out of you. The noise is enough to bring another flush to your cheeks and you squeeze your eyes closed. "Aeth, come on," you whimper.
"I'll come if you want me to." There's a spark of mischief in his eyes as he smirks again. "But, I would rather come in you." He presses another heated kiss to the skin directly above your cunt and you can feel him huff out a short breath of laughter when you whine. Your cunt aches as the emptiness washes over you, your fluids slick along his fingers as they withdraw. His thumb swipes at a patch of your slickness that coats the pad of his forefinger and you watch as he brings it to his mouth, sucking on his fingers as his eyes slide closed and his hips buck slightly. "You taste so good, pet. I couldn't resist." Aether looks down at you, his eyes glowing softly, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. "If you want more, I'll give it to you," he purrs. "I just want you to be ready first."
"Ready?" you ask, hardly daring to breathe-- it still doesn't feel real, even seeing him now above you, clad in an undershirt and pants and ready to pounce. His eyes flash with something like hunger as he slides his pants and underwear down, exposing his cock to the cool air. The length of it is impressive, and you feel a wave of anxiety pass over you as you realize just how big he is. Aether just nods, a cocksure smile in place.
"How much more do you want, love?" he asks, dragging his hand along his cock slowly, his eyes on yours. Your own gaze flicks back and forth between his cock and his eyes and as you inhale to answer him, he interjects, "can I eat you out?" You're stunned silent for a moment. You'd never had that offer made before-- no one had ever offered, nor taken the time to do so. Aether waits, watching you, his hand slowly pumping his cock as he waits.
In answer you simply spread your legs further, watching as he licks his lips once more, almost unconsciously. You let your legs fall open at his touch as his hands wander upwards, cupping your ass in his palms and kneading the flesh there. He moves further down the bed and finally brings his mouth to your cunt, pressing his cock against your bed and rutting gently. "Aether," you whisper, arching up to meet his mouth with your clit. He responds with a deep, rumbling growl that reverberates through you, making you shudder with pleasure. 
His forked tongue snakes between your folds with ease and he groans, practically burying his face in your cunt. Your eyes flutter shut as he slides his tongue across your entrance, teasing you, dipping inside just enough to make you want more. "Oh, Evie," he breathes, his lips brushing against your skin. You whimper again when his nose bumps your clit in the same moment that his tongue plunges inside of you. The sound seems to spur him on and he picks up speed, his tongue fucking into you in earnest. He slides a hand up to your breast, squeezing it and rolling your nipple between his fingers as he continues to work you with his tongue.
"Aether, I'm so close," you say, your legs starting to shake with pleasure as it grows more taut in your belly. "Keep going." He hums in acknowledgement, the vibrations sending you even closer to the edge. His mouth closes around your clit and sucks gently and that's all it takes, sending you tumbling over the edge of your climax. Aether works you through it with ease, his eyes never leaving yours.
"How are you feeling now?" he asks, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.
"Incredible," you answer. "That was so good. I didn't know I could feel like that."
He smiles, running his palm up and down the length of his cock as he watches you. "Do you still want more?"
"I want it all." The words leave your mouth before you even think about them, but they're true. You bite your lower lip, willing yourself to not be shy-- you want this, just do it!
"As you wish," he replies, sliding off the bed and standing in front of you. You can see his cock clearly now, erect and straining towards his belly, his hand still lazily pumping its length. He kicks his pants and underwear fully off and they land somewhere in the corner, where the two of you will find them in the morning. Aether's amber eyes meet yours again and he smiles, his cock throbbing visibly in his hand. "I want you so bad, pet."
"Then take me," you whisper.
Aether climbs back onto the bed and positions himself between your legs, his cock resting against your thigh. He runs a finger along your slit, teasing you, making you moan. When you wriggle towards him under his touch he grins again, forked tongue flicking out momentarily. You tingle, remembering that he's not quite human after all-- the tail and teeth alone can attest to that, after all. He leans forward, his lips pressed against your ear and he murmurs, "Are you ready for me, Evie? Do you want all of me?" You nod, squirming underneath him. When the tip of his cock swipes through your folds his eyes flutter, almost sliding closed in pleasure.
Another movement from your hips wakes him from his daze of heady arousal and he finally moves, the head of his cock slipping across your entrance in practiced movements. He allows himself to slide inside of you at least, the glide eased by your arousal and his desperation. 
He's so big-- your muscles stretch to accommodate him, and when you gasp, he pauses.
"I'm fine," you tell him. "Just a little... tight." His eyes meet yours and he nods, moving forward slowly until he's fully seated within you, his pelvis flush with yours. His hands rub across the delicate skin of your thighs, silent reassurance and adoration. 
"I'll wait as long as you need, pet." He presses a kiss to your forehead and you sigh, relaxing into the mattress as the pressure inside of you dissipates, leaving only pleasure behind. "You feel so good," he purrs, "So warm and tight around me." Your heart leaps as you realize how much he's enjoying this, and you cant your hips upwards experimentally, drawing a groan from his lips. "Fuck, that feels good," he growls, his head dipping low as his eyes slide shut in pleasure.
Another roll from your hips has him responding to you, moving forward until he's over top of you and giving his own hips a rock. A moan slips from you as you feel his cock slide inside of you, pressing at your walls in a deliciously intimate firmness. His mouth finds yours and his tongue slips between your lips, stroking and sucking on your lower lip as he continues to fuck into you.
"More," you say against his lips, wrapping your arms around his neck and pulling him close.He smiles into the kiss, nipping you with his fangs lightly in response. His hips start to move faster and you can faintly hear the sound of his skin on yours through your own gasps and huffs of pleasure. When a groan slips into your mouth from his you reach your arms around his broad shoulders, holding him closer.
"Aether, you're so big," you murmur, feeling your muscles stretch with every thrust inside of you.
"And you feel incredible, pet," he replies, his voice low and husky with desire. "I've wanted this since I saw you the first time." Aether's breath curls around your ear, heating the back of your neck as he nestles his nose there, his hips moving faster. His pelvis presses perfectly into your clit and you feel your body tensing as you get closer and closer to orgasm.
"I'm close, Aeth," you pant, digging your nails into his shoulder blades as you hold onto him for dear life. He growls in response, picking up his pace even more, driving you towards the edge. Gratefully and with a whimper, you tumble over the edge into your climax, the rubber band of tension finally snapping in your belly as you clench down on Aether's cock. He lets out a strangled groan and you feel him spill his release into you, his hips still rocking into yours as he rides out the aftershocks of his own orgasm.
After a moment, he pulls away from you, flopping onto his side next to you with a contented sigh and throwing a forearm over his eyes, his chest rising and falling with quickened breaths. You cross your legs at the ankles, getting more comfortable as your eyes scan the ceiling of your small room. Aether's hand drops to yours and you take it without thinking, smiling to yourself at the small and reassuring contact.
"How are you feeling, pet?" he asks, a smile on his lips as he turns to face you.
"Very satisfied." You laugh, stretching your arms above your head, feeling the pleasant ache in your muscles from sex. Your cheeks are starting to ache from grinning so much, but there's nothing you can do to stop it-- your first time was incredible, and with Aether, no doubt!
"I'm glad to hear it," he says, chuckling as he runs a hand through your hair. "It's been a long time for me." You roll your eyes at him, giggling at his words. "What?! It has!" There's a tinge of color in his cheeks and it accentuates his amber eyes, glowing softly towards you. "I think you'll enjoy what I have planned for tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" you ask. Your eyebrows furrow slightly as you try to think of what could possibly be planned for tomorrow. You can't think of anything-- nothing is on your schedule that you're aware of, aside from the odd book translation or cleaning job that you left behind today. "I don't know what you mean, Aeth."
He just laughs again, a low rumble in his chest as his eyes slide closed and he smiles, squeezing your hand gently. "I suppose you'll have to wait and see, love."
"But I don't know what time we're supposed to meet!" A curl of anxiety starts at the base of your neck and you feel yourself tensing up in the same moment that Aether rolls to his side and props his head up on an arm, looking at you with a steady eye.
"Eve, trust me. I want to show you something, but I want it to be a surprise." You take a deep breath and nod, agreeing for the time being. It will bother you later, but with this new love... you can handle it.
"Can we do this again?" you ask, a bit of hesitation creeping into your voice. You can't believe that you've done this, with the Ghoul that you've been pining after for so long...
"About that..." Aether licks his lower lip, a hint of unease behind his eyes. "I wanted to ask... would you be mine? You know, eh... My partner?" He shrugs lamely, a small bit of nervous laughter bubbling up. "It's alright if you say no. I'm not good at this stuff, Evvie."
"Aether, you're perfect." You lean in to kiss him, wrapping your arms around his neck and pulling him closer to you. The kiss is hot and heavy, the scent of his musk enveloping you and making you swoon a bit.
"Is that a yes then?" he asks against your lips, laughing into the kiss and holding you closer to him when you nod enthusiastically. "Good. Tomorrow afternoon. I'll come and get you for our next date, pet. I promise," he says when he breaks the kiss. "You need to get some sleep though, yeah, love? It's late. I didn't mean to stay this long." You lean your forehead against his, your eyes slipping closed for just a moment, savoring the seconds that your skin touches his.
"I'm so glad you did."

The (Real) Stardew Valley Farm
So a year and a half ago we bought a house, AKA the real life habitat ring. I swear the yard came with every single non-aquatic invasive plant we’ve got. Slowly but surely we’ve been murdering all the Japanese honeysuckle and poison hemlock, tearing up a truly inhumane amount of weed barrier and pea gravel, and adding truckloads of wood chips and other organic matter to start to repair the soil. Our goal is to replace everything with mostly native plants with an emphasis on food production.
But of course I needed more of a challenge. I love playing Stardew Valley. It’s really the only video game I play. And somewhere I got the idea, “Hey, wouldn’t it be cool to grow everything in Stardew Valley in our yard?” So here we are. Obviously I don’t live on some magical land with perfect weather, a giant greenhouse, and a second farm on a tropical island, so I have to make plenty of substitutions. I’m also trying to grow native plants whenever possible. Any suggestions are welcome!
2021
Amaranth - Native white amaranth (the birds love it!)
Grape - Native riverbank grapes (so many grapes) and some green cultivated variety from the neighbors
Dandelion - Obviously
Maple Tree - Native silver, red, and sugar maples (also an invasive Norway maple but we chopped it down)
Pine Tree - Not sure what kind of pines they are
Apple Tree - Not in great shape. I’d love an Enterprise apple tree at some point
Coffee Bean - Chicory (maybe that’s cheating, but it’s a naturalized plant commonly used as a coffee substitute)
Salmonberry - Not native to the Midwest, so we’re sticking with native black raspberries. We’ll likely add some pink/yellow raspberries later though
2022
Kale
Rhubarb
Strawberry - Both cultivated and native
Tulip
Radish
Tomato
Beet
Eggplant
Fairy Rose - Not a real thing so I substituted the native prairie rose
Cranberries - Native cranberry viburnum
Orange Tree -Native persimmons, which produce orange fruit
Daffodil
Spring Onion - Native nodding onions and also green onions indoors
Spice Berry - Native spicebushes
Wild Plum - Native
Hazelnut - Native
Crocus
Cherry Tree - Native black cherries and nonnative bush cherries
Tea Leaves - Native New Jersey Tea bush
Banana Tree - Native pawpaws, which are also known as Indiana bananas
Mango Tree - One of the pawpaws is a named variety called mango so I think that counts
Ginger - Attempted native wild ginger, which I don’t think survived, but am also growing ginger indoors
Green Bean
Sweet Gem Berry - Native Juneberry (Downy Serviceberry) which are a redish color
Planned for 2023
Blue Jazz - Not real so I went with the native Ozark Bluestar, which seems similar enough
Garlic
Parsnip
Apricot Tree - Native passionflower vine. Not a tree, but it is known as wild apricot
Blueberry
Sunflower - Both native and non-native sunflowers
Pineapple - Neither my spouse nor I like pineapples, so we’re going with white strawberries known as pineberries that are said to have a tropical taste
Pumpkin
Melon
Wild Horseradish - Except I’ll be growing it in a pot because it tends to get a little too wild for my tastes
Holly - Native winterberry holly
Oak Tree - Native dwarf chinquapin oak
Sweet Pea
Hot Pepper
Palm Tree - Obviosuly not going to work here but there is a native palm sedge that I’ll plant instead
Planned for 2024
Potato
Corn
Hops - Hoping to get a cutting from a native hops vine (if the local beer people don’t kill me)
Winter Root - I’m gonna go with native ground nuts because you can dig up the roots in winter
Poppy - Hopefully native wood poppy
Red Cabbage
Artichoke - Native Jerusalem artichokes
Cactus Fruit - Native prickly pear cactus
Yam
Bok Choy
Leek
Fiddlehead Fern
Blackberry
Crystal Fruit - I’m gonna go with honey berries, which produce fruit earlier than anything else
Ancient Fruit - Native Aronia berries are the only thing I can think of for this one. They’re blue(ish) and have lots of antioxidants so you live to be ancient
Figuring Out Substitutes
Rice
Wheat
Starfruit - Not really sure how to swing this one, so suggestions are welcome
Summer Spangle - Not real, so I’m open to suggestions of native plants. Possibly prairie lily? It has a similar-ish shape, is orange, and blooms in summer
Qi Fruit - Creepy little man
Taro Root - I would have to plant it in pots
Morel - I wish I could grow this
All the other mushrooms - I think I’ll just ignore any varieties and just try plugs or similar
Snow Yam
Cave Carrot - Trying to find a native carrot substitute
Coconut - I shouldn’t count this separately from palm trees, right?
Mahogany Tree
Peach Tree
Pomegranate Tree - There are Russian pomegranates that are hardy to zone 6, which just might work with climate change

As a resident brown thumb, and beginner gardener I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to invest in perennials.
Yes it takes longer for a perennial plant to mature, (about 2 to 3 years if it's in a pot) but you can definitely grow annuals while you wait and won't even notice, I am TELLING you it is so so worth it guys trust me.
You'll have Fruits/nuts/berries/herbs/leafy greens for years to come after one install and very minimal upkeep.
Perennials also tend to be hardier and more forgiving when it comes to beginner gardener's in my experience as well.
My method is to always purchase 1-2 perennial plants On Sale for every 5-8 annuals i plan on growing that year. It may be a little expensive if ur just starting out, so 1 perennial + 3-ish annuals would suffice.
Plants do well when they're companion planted so it saves u time, energy, and pesticides to get recommended combinations.
My first year didnt count, I only planted a solid block of irish potatoes of the same variety. It was a plague of bugs and disease. Don't do that, always get Companion Plant combos.
So let's go over a 4 year garden plan to get an idea, when you know what you're doing.
The 1st year I started with: a blackberry bush kit. The kit had 2 blackberry plants in it, I got it from Sams Club. I planted them in cheap plastic pots.
-a grapevine kit (Red seedless and Concord pair I also from the same Sams club). I didn't know what a mycellium network was so I thought the roots molded and threw them away, I still feel the sting from that waste but i was able to buy a Disease resistant grape variety online and plant it in the same pot. But dont be like me.
-And for my annuals that year I went with a salsa garden combo kit (peppers, cilantro, tomatoes, basil) that I got from Lowes. I harvested the salsa ingredients that whole summer.
-The second year
i bought an Italian plum tree, and for my annuals, I planted a Salad kit.
By that time, the Blackberries were mature and I was able to harvest blackberries for the first time.
This year, the 3rd year I've expanded my kitchen garden to include a salsa garden, and the 3 sisters combo (squash, beans and corn planted in the same place).
The grapevine I planted is now mature and will give me grapes in the late summer.
I'm on my second year of blackberries.
The Plum tree will be ready next year. And I haven't decided on what to plant yet.
The fourth year It will probably be a greek salad combo kit (tomatoes, red onion, basil, parsley, garlic) with a tea garden kit (rosemary, lemon balm, chamomile, lavender, mint). By this time My plum tree will be mature and I will harvest my first year of plums, my third year of blackberries, and my second year of grapes. And for my two new perennials, I will go with two apple trees for $10 each online.
By That Time I will harvest my 3rd year of blackberries, my 2nd year of grapes and my 1st year of italian plums.
So that's how it works!
Grapes, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries are cheap and widely available from big box stores during planting season, whereas fruit trees are cheaper and healthier when ordered online outside of planting season but pre-ordered for the next year, in my experience.
(this could be berry bushes, a fruit tree, a nut tree, a fruit vine, or a perennial herb you just have to shop around) They mature faster when you plant it in a pot, and you grow however many annuals you want that growing season.
I'm so focused on the routine spring radishes and summer tomatoes, that two adhd business days (seasons) later and boom
"now I have fresh blackberries this season too."
"Oh what's this? Now I have grapes to go along with this year's harvest"
COCAINE can't beat that high, check your growing zone and buy that f*cking dwarf tree.

I think I’m going to add some chocolate vine and grapevine to my balcony garden. It’s potted, so the chocolate vine won’t be able to spread by roots and since I’ll be harvesting the seed pods it won’t spread.
So what I want to start with
Chocolate Vine
Blueberry
Strawberry
Various herbs
Various flowers
Green beans
Broccoli
Cantaloupe
Carrots
Lettuce
Sweet peppers
Potato
Tomato
Summer squash
A few flower vines
Mushrooms
Eventually I plan to include
Blackberry
Raspberry
Lingonberry
Currants
Grapes
Honeyberry
Goji berry
Gooseberry
Pawpaw (there’s a compact variety that I found. We’ll se how it grows)
Figs
Dwarf lemon
Dwarf orange
Container apple
Kidney beans
Cabbage
Cucumber
Eggplant
Watermelon
Onions
Peas
Hot peppers
Garlic
Radish
Other squash types
Spinach
Califlower
Dwarf cherry
Dwarf pomegranate
Ground cherry
Other stuff as I find it
But I’m not even starting on the other stuff til after I move next year. Cause there’s only so many plants I have a desire to move and my current apartment is a grump about having anything but chairs on the balcony and get upset with the two potted bushes I got. And I don’t want to deal with them
If you know of something particularly pretty of edible that can withstand hot summers or low light indoors that I haven’t heard of let me know. I only recently discovered chocolate vine and I love the appearance and I’m excited to try the seed pods. They supposedly smell of chocolate and taste like tapioca pudding.

moving to a place with no hoa is so healing. it's so wild to live in a neighborhood that feels like actual people live in it. there's people growing sweet corn in their front yards, grape vines winding through metal fences. the sidewalks are covered in childrens' chalk drawings and faded hopscotch games.
one house i look forward to seeing on my walks is the one whose yard is absolutely covered in statues of animals and planters bursting with yarrow flowers, because there's no rules about how many flowers pots you can have or what decorations you're allowed to put where
meanwhile back at my mom's house they were actually debating banning families with children from buying homes there because there were some kids playing in the neighborhood and they MOVED someone's metal flowers >:(

Armagnac, the oldest brandy from France
Tumblr media
Armagnac is a distinctive kind of brandy produced in the Armagnac region in Gascony, southwest France. It is distilled from wine usually made from a blend of grapes including Baco 22A, Colombard, Folle Blanche and Ugni blanc, traditionally using column stills rather than the pot stills used in the production of cognac, which is made only from Ugni blanc grapes. The resulting spirit is then aged in oak barrels before release.
ABOUT THE GRAPES
UGNI BLANC OR TREBBIANO
relatively easy to grow and gives high yields-in short. It produces wines with elevated levels of acidity and low alcohol, yet is fairly neutral in taste. Pleasing floral aromatics that tend to accentuate the spice notes from the oak in which they are aged. 
COLOMBARD: Colombard's youthful aroma is slightly herbal and reminiscent of freshly mown hay.
FOLLE BLANCHE OR PICPOULT: very fine texture and light, high-pitched aromatics (including budding vine flowers, white peach, dried apricot and orange peel). Less than 3% of total vineyard plantings. 
BACCO 22A (hybrid) (ONLY IN ARMAGNAC)
Hybrid between Folle Blanche and Noah grape.
Full-bodied, with plenty of fat and volume. With some age, it expresses itself with jammy dried plum notes, yet it can be somewhat rustic and lack finesse.
About Delord, the flagship Armagnac at the Liquor Wine Cave:
Situated in Bas-Armagnac, vineyards are made up of Colombard, Ugni Blanc and Folle Blanche grape varieties. The distillery is to be found in the village of Lannepax, the ancestral home of the Delord family.
The distillation, the most essential and fascinating stage in the production of Armagnac, takes place at the beginning of November through to the end of December.
Their old Sier Armagnac alambics, that they wouldn't part with for all the gold in the world, produce less than 30 litres of eau-de-vie an hour. Delord cellars contain old treasured vintages and include more than 700 oak barrels that protect and age the Armagnac eau-de-vie dating from the 20th Century to the present day.
Delord thanks to their vision have stored such quantities of good Armagnacs for such a long time that they have the resource to be very competitive in price for the same quality. They also concentrate on Armagnac styles, very rounded, soft and easy to drink, that they are amongst the most successful producers.
You can visit our range of Armagnacs here

Rootbound
I've been thinking lately about the concept of being rootbound, like a plant that's been in its little pot for far too long.
Tumblr media
What was once a nice roomy pot for this grape vine is now much too small. The roots of the plant create a casing through which no new roots can emerge, even if it was to get dropped into fresh earth. The roots actually begin to take the place of the soil in the pot. In the end, all you have is the stunted plant and a pot-shaped knot of white roots.
People can get root-bound too. Not only do we sometimes need to break out of our too-small pots, but we may need to "rough up", unwind or even cut back our foundations to allow access to new experiences and evolution. Growing can sometimes require being willing to edit our own routines, habits, beliefs or dependencies enough to allow for expansion under -- and above -- the surface.
