My request comes with a mini rant. So, something that's always bothered me in Episode 2 of Panic is that not ONCE does anyone ask Dodge if he's okay. That man just fought for his life trying not to fall to his death—which HAD to hurt his shoulder hanging by one arm like that. No one may have known why he was upset with Ray, but he CLEARLY was. So everyone just watches him go through physical pain, then emotional pain, then MORE physical pain when Ray hits him back, and NO ONE thinks to ask him if he's alright. Not Natalie. Not Heather. NO ONE. All of the attention goes to Natalie when she hurts her ankle, which I understand, but it still makes me so sad for Dodge. That brings me to my request. Do you think you could write an alternative ending where the reader asks Dodge if he's okay after all of that and he lets his guard down? (PS, sorry for ranting at you.)

FACTS. after that happened literally everyone forgot about how dodge was mere inches from death 😭 he deserved so much better tbh

dodge mason wasn’t known for being much of a people person. there were very few people he talked to in town, one of them being Y/N.

they weren’t really even friends. but, if they happened to run into each other, they had some nice conversations. Y/N liked the chill energy he carried, and dodge liked that she was very comfortable and confident with herself and her abilities. maybe they found solace in each other because both of them weren’t exactly popular.

Y/N entered panic to earn money so she could get out of carp and attend college. her family was definitely not rich, or even middle class. every month, her family barely had enough money to survive.

going into the challenge at the granary, Y/N was oddly excited. the challenge was going to be scary, but that energized her. she reveled in that feeling as she thought it made her perform better.

she hung to the back of the crowd when the challenge begun. as she wasn’t the most popular in school, she preferred to be on her own.

they all watched the first player, drew santiago, cross the beam. although she didn’t realize it, she held her breath the entire time drew was walking across. when he made it to the end, she let out a sigh of relief.

summer reached in to the hat she was pulling names out of, and she unfolded the slip of paper she had picked.

“Y/N L/N, you’re up!”

a few people within the crowd gave short pity claps. the crowd didn’t give her the cheers like they gave everyone else. however, she met eyes with dodge, and he was one of the few clapping. Y/N smiled to herself.

she confidently walked to the ladder and climbed up, not looking down. if she hesitated even for a second, she would chicken out. it was higher than it seemed from below.

she planted her feet on the beam, and kept her focus on the the stretch ahead of her.

“okay Y/N, your time starts now!”

she took carefully planned steps, and she tightened her core to keep her from wobbling. she took deep breaths to calm her mind as she walked. before she knew it, she was across to the other side.

the crowd let out a few cheers. “congrats, you made it across in 30 seconds, which means you’re still in the game!”

she smiled and climbed down the ladder. when her feet touched the ground, she savored the solid dirt below her.

a few more people went and succeeded, and finally, it was dodge’s turn. like her, he boldly walked to the ladder and made his way up, fear not present anywhere in his body.

diggins announced his time had started, and dodge remained collected upon the towering beam. all was going well until dodge violently wobbled, and caught himself on the beam before he could fall to the ground.

Y/N gasped along with everyone else. she wasn’t sure what made dodge wobble, but it had to have been something on ground level. knowing dodge, he wouldn’t have just lost his balance over nothing.

he held on for his life with one arm, and slowly but surely, he was able to bring his other arm up and swung himself back onto the beam before getting settled and standing up, resulting in cheer from the crowd. finally, dodge made it across safely. dodge was still in the game.

the crowd erupted in cheers, and as soon as dodge’s feet touched the ground, he walked over to ray before pushing him back. Y/N wasn’t sure what ray did, but she knew it had something to do with dodge almost plummeting to his death.

dodge pulled away, but ray made a snarky remark causing dodge to turn back around and punch him in the face, kickstarting a brawl between the two boys.

the energy only intensified when police sirens and lights filled everyone’s eyesight. the red and blue lights reflected off of every surface, and Y/N felt like she couldn’t move. she was a deer in headlights.

then, before she could react, dodge took her arm and ran away with her into the trees in the distance.

when they reached a clearing and were finally far enough way, they stopped and sat down side by side on a fallen tree, catching their breath.

“thanks for dragging me away. when i saw the lights my body just… froze. i didn’t know what to do.”

dodge nodded. “it was nothing, don’t worry about it.”

there was a pause. “you did really good up there,” dodge told her. “you didn’t look afraid at all.”

“i shouldn’t be getting the praise. you saved yourself from near death, that is a true feat.”

there was more silence, and then Y/N spoke up again. “by the way, are you okay? i mean, hanging from a beam way above the ground like that couldn’t have been easy.”

dodge turned to look at her. “why do you care?”

“because i can tell it’s weighing on your conscience more than you even realize, and i’m the only one that seems to notice it.”

dodge looked straight forward again. “i didn’t ask you to delve into the inner workings of my mind, you know.”

“you didn’t have to ask, i did it anyway.” Y/N replied.

“only a handful of us got to experience that walk. it wasn’t easy, it was a lot scarier up there than one would think. i get what you’re feeling, more than anyone.” she continued.

“i appreciate the unsolicited concern, but genuinely, i’m fine.” dodge said sharply.

Y/N thought about it. “then why are you deflecting?”

dodge gave her a small smile. “you really are relentless, aren’t you?” Y/N nodded happily, prompting a laugh from dodge.

“fine, you win. i was content up until ray hall used a laser pointer on my chest. i got distracted, and i fell. since you’re not going to let me say otherwise, i guess i was scared when i was hanging on to the beam. it was a split second of pure fear, only when i was only able to hang on with one arm though.”

he took a shallow breath. “and i was even more worried about being out of the game. i need to win, Y/N, and if i got eliminated from the second challenge based on time simply because ray hall is an asshole, i wouldn’t have forgiven myself. you don’t know it, but there’s a lot riding on me winning.”

dodge sighed. “when i got down, all the anger in my body accidentally exploded on to ray. he deserved it, no doubt about it, but it didn’t work out great for me in the end because he did land a good punch or two.”

Y/N soaked in all the information. she took note of dodge rubbing his arm. “is your arm okay?”

“this? oh yeah, i’m okay. sure, it does hurt, but nothing i can’t handle. i might have torn the muscle a bit from holding onto the beam.”

“you’re stronger than i ever could be. i couldn’t dream of doing something like that.” she told him.

“when you’re in panic, you have to be prepared for anything. especially laser pointers on your chest when you’re trying not to fall off a suspended beam way above the ground.” dodge joked, causing Y/N to laugh.

Y/N turned to look at dodge, and when he noticed her, he turned to look at her as well.

“i appreciate you asking if i was okay. i know i was cold at first, and i’m sorry about that, but i guess i’m thankful for your persistence. not many people in this town have actually asked me if i’m okay, or have cared to actually talk to me about this.”

“it’s nothing, i was just helping out a friend. i would do it for you any time.” Y/N said back.

dodge smiled. “so we’re friends now?”

“yeah, why not?” she asked. “it’s not like we have other friends we can talk to.”

“you didn’t need to remind me of my sad reality.” dodge said, lightly shoving her with his shoulder.

“it’s not just your reality, it’s mine too. us outcasts have to stick together, right?”

dodge grinned. “right.”

Hi, more thoughts, sorry<3

like yeah i agree that kaz absolutely has a heart, but i think those acts of kindness are mostly reserved for the people he loves, even if wylan is new, you can tell he's already warmed up to him, and i really dont think he'd do something kind just because for someone he feels indifferent to at best, much less someone like a king, and wait omg i just remembered he's friends with sturmhund i take it all back, he would indeed give it up for his friend. and yeah youre right about wesper it was adorable, but i dont know i needed the slow burnnnnn, but yeah given netflix penchant for with gay shit, it was necessary.

And about everything else, yeah it made sense but it was really rushed, especially in s2, and like i get that they have to make everything as fast as they can in case it gets cancelled but im sad about it, but i just really hope malina does meet in the meadow in the end, cause at this point, this show is uncharted territory and completely new and i am so excited for it, and i think that was just setting up for nikolai i bet they will make him all scary later, or at least i hope. But like MERZOST!!!!! ALINA WTF!!! i loved the shadow cut it, like alina i love that youre very powerful but pls try not to turn evil, and like shes heading exactly in the direction the darkling said she would go which is so scary and obvious in a good way i love it. And omg the darkling, like in the books its neither easy to not root for him except maybe when he dies, but here omg, you're telling me he actually felt something for alina and it was not just manipulation!!!

Also Ben Barnes makes it really hard to not be on his side, Alina is waay stronger than me, "Make me your villain", for you? anything, also very simp i loved it, so its okay they omitted a lot of his character and relationship with alina, as they basically made a new one which i like. and about the white hair thing, it was iconic!!! i needed it!! but its okay, also i think the darkling probably experienced some shit associated with his power, but probably never like that cause the only amplifier he used was his mother, and it wasnt until he used merzost he became unstoppable, and it was slowly taking its toll on him, so slowy at first that it might have even been a plot hole, cause later it starts eating him from the inside.

Anyways Ice Court Heist is coming omgomgomgomg im so excited, i cant wait to see something really serious happening with nikolai and alina, and the crows just, just, yeah. i love them. i love jesper and wylan (the characters not their relationship in this instance) so much i could die just thinking about them.

And i think that's all my thoughts until now, I apologize in advance because I WILL think about it more and I WILL bother you about it<3

sturmhond my beloved <3 best of the grishaverse men truly!! also re wesper I love them I'd die for them plus with a tv show I need smth to be happy about and kanej: glacial pace, helnik: slow burn bc of the whole hellgate sitch. like I need smth to be diggin!!! re nikolai, a nichevo'ya is not how he should look and tbh I don't like how they're doing it in the show if that's the angle they take but hopefully I'm wrong. I do think paddy gibson did kill as nikolai like when they let book nikolai pop out? slayed!!! also yeah alina like don't be doin that (merzost) baghra made u promise!! but it is a way better end than her losing all her power and I'm excited to see where they take that, I saw on twitter somewhere that leigh has lots of ideas where to take it if given more so we shall see <3 also w the darkling, like, ok so 1 he is ben barnes so that's a thing bc I've been crushing on him since prince caspian but also!! like the thing is like, he really did love her for a bit there! he had peace when she surprise kissed him!! that's the moment he went right back to in his defeat right before alina mcstabbed him (which he did deserve btw). like the heartbreaking part w darklina is they really could've had it if he'd trusted her!!! but he didn't!!! and that was his greatest weakness!!!!! I do like malina but like, for me it's nikolina >>>>>>>>>> malina sorry. book or show nikolai is just *chef's kiss*. but also re nikolai, zoyalai >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>nikolina. so like, the setup there is also *chef's kiss*.

Corridors?

ppl keep asking about corridors and tbh if i finish it it isn't gonna be anytime soon so here is all 4000ish words of draft (under the cut.) it is a little disconnected timeline wise so sort thru that as seems best to u.

special note: if u didn't read the executioner this may not make a whole ton of sense to u because this builds off that.

also this is uh slightly nsfw lol.

——————

Even after sunset, the evening heat didn’t show any sign of letting up and for once there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. The camp buzzed with activity, anyway. The nonstop movement filled the baking air with clouds of fine dust. She made it out of the command tent right at sunset, narrowly avoided being caught up in a column of sappers with picks and shovels, and had to stop long enough for the crowd to pass. The Colonel stepped out behind her.

“They’ll be diggin’ th’ earthworks,” he said.

She made a vague noise of acknowledgment, instead of saying that she knew exactly what they were doing and where; she had spent the last half hour in the same briefing he had, regarding the earthworks, the new roadblock they would form, and which detachment should be left behind to man it. She was starting to think the Colonel wasn’t really talking to her, when he made these pointless observations. Maybe he wasn’t really talking to anyone, particularly. He just felt the urge to fill the dead space between conversations with something. It was a tiresome habit, if she was honest, but not the worst - Arnjolf’s surly alcoholism, Isbel’s disapproving silences, the new quartermaster’s confusing filing system, Gascon’s idle attempts to start new arguments for his own amusement all came to mind as truly frustrating new personality traits to deal with. If having to listen to the Colonel talk to himself was the worst she had to deal with from him, she should probably be grateful. She swallowed her instant surge of annoyance and nodded at him.

The war was wearing on all of them. The war was wearing on her. She kept finding that the longer she went between meals, the more she felt like sticking a dagger in anyone who looked at her wrong. It was easiest to get ahead of the inevitable murder. She angled through the thick dust behind the column and headed for the mess tent.

An hour and one side trip to the quartermaster’s tents to sign off on a gear issue later, she actually made it. The mess tent was packed, of course, bustling with a crowd of officers. It also smelled faintly of urine; she squinted, checked the food she was eating - boiled beef, bread, a soupy mess of mostly-cooked peas.

“It’s the beer,” Gascon said, looking up from his hand of cards. “It’s the stuff we got off those merchants; I’m told it’s supposed to smell like that. Thought you’d have been here ages ago; you’re lucky there’s any of the peas left. They were a real hit; apparently they’re cooked with salt and fat, for once -”

Reynard glanced across the table at her, the corners of his lips turning slightly upward. Unless she imagined it. She looked a little longer, trying to be sure, realized she had spent more than three seconds staring at him, and hurriedly refocused on her food. Gascon kept talking, until Reynard distracted him with some trick or other that resulted in a convoluted legal debate. She half-listened while she ate and stared into space. The argument was incomprehensible, but it was obvious to her that Reynard wasn’t really trying to win it.

The war was wearing on almost all of them. Reynard appeared to be exactly the same as always. She wondered how he did it. He sat, patiently repeating his defense over and over again, while Gascon’s tone turned frustrated; she had seen him do the same thing to innumerable court functionaries and army officers.

Maybe she was just missing something. Being in front of an army that was more or less constantly on the march didn’t leave any time for private conversations, or any convenient place to have them. As a result, she had no idea if Reynard was keeping it together as well as he appeared to be or not. She liked to think she would be able to tell if he wasn’t, but she suspected he could shut her out just as well as anyone else, if he wanted to. He had acted like the Marius Lester affair didn’t bother him enough to go that far, but two days on the march left a lot of monotony for staring at the road ahead and thinking, and she wasn’t sure whether she was just seeing what she wanted to see anymore.

At least, she had done a lot of staring and thinking.

—

It was complicated.

She finished eating. The argument ended; the game continued. At the end of a round - or maybe the end of the game; she wasn’t sure about the rules - Gascon announced he was going to fetch another drink. He ambled casually off, leaving an awkward silence. After a long moment, she cleared her throat and forced herself to say something.

“The war nears its end,” she commented, sounding unnecessarily formal. “What next for Reynard Odo?”

He frowned slightly, apparently confused by the question. His tone matched hers.

“Whatever you command, Your Grace.”

The mess tent was probably the wrong place for the conversation she was trying to have; she had never been particularly subtle, and there were too many people watching and listening for her to be up front about what she wanted. On the other hand, she didn’t think a better option was going to come around any time soon. Leaving things hanging between them, indefinitely, wasn’t going to work. She was tired of it. She missed having him to talk to. She sighed irritably.

“To be perfectly blunt, I’ve no wish to give you orders anymore.”

He looked alarmed, or maybe slightly hurt.

“Would you wish me to leave? Remove myself from the court?”

She almost rolled her eyes, but she stopped herself; he was obviously serious. Maybe he thought she had decided, in the end, that it was safest to banish him and all the complications he brought. She was tempted to be offended that he would think she could be that ruthless, but, then again, maybe she could; if he was any other man she would have done exactly that.

“No, Reynard,” she said, attempting something resembling patience. He eyed her cautiously. “I’d wish for you to stay.”

She wishedshe had time to pick her words carefully, but Gascon wouldn’t be gone forever. She plowed on, more or less abandoning her attempt at subtlety.

“But, I’d no longer wish to be your Queen. Alone. Do you catch my meaning?”

He seemed not to, for a few seconds, but eventually he came to a conclusion and nodded.

“I do, Meve,” he said, quietly. “I do. I -”

“I’m back,” Gascon announced, slamming his tankard down. Beer sloshed onto the table and splattered on half the cards. Reynard closed his mouth and frowned up at him, a hint of annoyance crossing his face. She sensed a genuine argument incoming.

“I’m going for a walk,” she announced, suddenly.

The setting sun reflected off the thunderclouds in the distance; she looked out at the orange fading to red on the bottoms. Her country was scenic, if nothing else. Too hot, without a doubt, and too wet; she was sweating steadily where she stood, and the dust in the air was probably contributing to the blazing sunset, and there was heat lightning in the distance, but it was nice to look at.

“I love you, Meve. Whatever happens in the future - whatever you decide you want to do - isn’t going to change that.”

They managed absolute propriety all the way through the trip from Rivia to Cintra. It ended the night they arrived. She had summoned him after the inevitable welcome party, to plan out exactly which dignitaries and hangers-on she wanted him to find dirt on.

****

1267

Cintra

Meve:

I’ve been trying to get hold of you for a couple days now but you’re apparently extremely busy doing whatever it is you’re up to. Normally I would have just dropped in late at night when you’re not holed up with the peace conference but Reynard said I should just write a report and you’d get to it eventually. Now that you’re actually doing that, I can say that I can’t guarantee that Reynard isn’t a murderer. Yeah, I know, you already he wasn’t, and I don’t think he is either, but I can’t say he isn’t. Anyway you asked me to do some hunting so here’s what information I scared up:

I don’t normally like getting up early, and having someone banging on my door in the morning after weeks of nonstop travel in the heat followed by a long night of welcome feasting didn’t make me feel any better about it. I was having a pretty good dream, about something I don’t really remember, because all that racket ruined it. It didn’t go away even after I tried to pretend I wasn’t home, and then the dog started barking, so I rolled out of bed, stubbed my toe on a damn chair in the dark, and finally managed to yank the door open without breaking my own neck. There was a kid holding a torch out in the hall. I recognized him, even with the blinding light and my hangover. He was maybe sixteen, at best, had less meat on him than a stray cat, and had hair the same color as the flame on his torch. One time, he’d dug me out of an avalanche. I figured I owed him as a result, which was why I didn’t just slam the door in his face and go back to bed.

“What the fuck, Barnsley?”

“It’s Borney, sir,” the kid said.

“Right, right. Aren’t you one of Reynard’s people? Tell him it ain’t happening until after ten.”

He looked totally lost.

“What? Tell him what isn’t happening?”

“Whatever the hell he wants me t’ do, obviously. Go on now, get.”

I shooed at him. It didn’t work.

“The Queen told me t’ come fetch you.”

“Oh. Never mind.”

I stepped inside, ran my fingers through my hair, put a shirt on, and stepped back out.

“How do I look? Presentable?”

Borney stared.

“Uh. Fine, sir.”

“Off we go, then,” I said.

9:23 pm

Meve flipped through the rest of the stack of paper on the table. A report? Gascon’s handwriting was, somehow, neater than her own, but was she prepared to read so much of it? It was getting late, and she had a busy day coming up. Then again, she had to stay on top of this business, too; the world wasn’t all peace treaties and political dealing. Then again, a fifteen-page, rambling narrative of whatever Gascon had been up was a lot to ask. It had been three days since she’d put Gascon on the case. She hadn’t expected him to take so long; she definitely didn’t expect him to vanish for a few days and then drop off a document about where he’d been.

“Reynard,” she said, “Why did you tell Gascon to write a report?”

“I didn’t,” he replied, from the other room.

She sighed. He hadn’t seemed particularly enthusiastic about the job at the time; she had been standing for an annoyingly long time in a hallway with a still-warm corpse on the floor, fending off a collection of officially angry Redanian military officers, a weedy civilian clerk, and a couple Cintran guards. The conversation was, unsurprisingly, mostly about the dead body. Gascon had rolled up at the end of it, turned the corner with his hair sticking in all directions, and run smack into the back of the ensign she’d sent to fetch him. She’d pretended not to see him and cut off an attempt by the guards at some arm-wrestling over jurisdictions.

“- if any of my people did this,” she said, in the tone she usually used to dismiss unwanted lawyers and salesmen, “Rest assured they’ll answer for the crime. That’ll be all.”

Her statement was impossible to argue with, because she followed it up with a cold glare, like it was going to be dangerous to try; the officials and bailiff’s men apparently weren’t looking to join the body on the floor and cleared off. Gascon strolled up at her nodded invitation, hands in his pockets and his dog trailing behind. He looked even more disheveled up close, like he’d slept in his clothes. A faint reek of stale liquor and smoke hung in the air around him.

“Gascon,” she said. “You look like shit. You feeling alright?”

“Totally fine,” he replied, wincing slightly. She decided to ignore his obvious lie.

“Good, because I have a job for you.”

“Something t’ do with this body on the floor, I imagine?”

“That’s right.”

“Good,” Gascon said. “I was supposed t’ go on some kind of hunting trip this morning, but I just don’t think my hangover can take the fresh air and sunshine. Wandering around this maze of a castle suits me better.”

“Say,” he added, looking casually around, “Isn’t this the door to Reynard’s room?”

She nodded. He looked down at the corpse on the floor for a moment.

“Sure looks like someone stabbed this guy. Any idea who it is?”

“He’s a Redanian officer. Sir Ward Rosenbold.”

“I think I see what happened here,” Gascon announced. “Man lies down in the hallway in front of Reynard’s room and leaks all this blood everywhere, then the boys in gold turn up too late as usual and think maybe Reynard had somethin’ to do with it. Joke’s on them; Reynard does all his murdering the legal way -”

She sensed an incoming joke and raised an eyebrow at him. He saw it and apparently decided it was too early.

“- uh, metaphorically. On the tournament ground. Of course. So, you want me to find out who left this corpse here?”

“More or less,” she said. “Reynard’s not a murderer, but I doubt the Chancellor’s going to want to take my word for it. It’d just be more politically expedient if I didn’t have to strong-arm him into doing it anyway.”

“I’ll see what I can do.”

That was the last she’d seen of him.

She turned the page over and kept reading.

Obviously the first person I wanted to talk to was Reynard. I mean, after I took a closer look at the stiff. He was, or used to be, a dark-haired youngish guy, probably closer to my age than yours, wearing nicer clothes than any of mine, and he had a big gash in the side of his neck that I was pretty sure might be the source of all the half-dried blood on the floor. His pockets were empty. Then I wandered the corridor a little bit, looking for anything interesting. Knickers and Borney stared at me the whole time, but I’m not the self-conscious type. I didn’t find much of anything, anyway; there were plenty of footprints tracked through the blood, but they were all muddled together.

“Can’t go telling a guard t’ not trample all over the damn place,” I commented, to nobody in particular. “They’ll just do it on purpose if you try.”

“Yes, sir”, Borney said.

“Where’s your boss at?”

“Don’t know, sir.”

“Stop calling me that. The name’s Gascon.”

“Yes, sir. I mean - uh -”

A couple more guards turned up, carrying a stretcher. I scooped Knickers up before he could take offense and got out of the way.

“Look,” I said, to Borney. “I’ll wait around here; you go look for Reynard -”

“Sir Reynard,” he said, with the same frown as his boss all over his face.

“-yes, that’s him. Go find him, ask him to drop on by when he gets the chance.”

The door to his room was locked, but I waited for the hallway to clear out, slid a knife in between the latch and the frame, and popped it open. I figured, under the circumstances, it was alright if me and Knickers did some sniffing around while we were waiting. The room looked just like mine - no windows, minimal decoration, a little fireplace, a bed, some chairs and a table - except not. My room was already what Reynard would have considered a disaster. In his room the bedcover had perfectly squared corners and not a single wrinkle, and someone had pushed the chairs into the table at matching angles. I poked around a little, but I didn’t find anything hidden under the pillows or the rug.

“Not much t’ see here,” I said to Knickers. He stopped investigating the ash bucket next to the hearth and sneezed at me. I checked under the bed. There was a dust bunny in the far corner.

Reynard came strolling in as I was lying on the floor looking at it. Something was slightly off about his appearance, I thought, but I couldn’t place it, exactly.

“Gascon,” he said, casually. “Looking for something?”

“Not really,” I said, got back up, brushed myself off, and took a seat on the edge of the bed. He eyed the stuff I’d moved like it was killing him to not fix it, but he stayed by the doorway like he wasn’t planning on sticking around. I knew better than to wait for him to bother making conversation.

“Heard you’ve managed to cause trouble already,” I said. “The way you’re going, I’ll be retirin’ from being the resident screw-up pretty soon.”

“I didn’t kill that man,” he said, stuffily. I finally figured out what it was that was different - not the extra lines on his face, like he hadn’t gotten much sleep; seemed like nobody had, so those didn’t surprise me. He wasn’t carrying a sword was what it was. I didn’t think I’d seem him without one before.

“Do you know who did?”

“No. Of course I don’t. I would’ve told everyone if I did, obviously.”

There was no good reason for him not to - well, there was one good reason I could think of for him not to. However, the fact that the reason existed at all probably ruled it out; I figured you wouldn’t set Reynard up, even though he would probably lie and claim he didn’t know even if you had and he did.

“Right,” I said. “Because they think it was you.”

I suddenly realized the obvious reason why he didn’t have a weapon. He shrugged vaguely at me.

“You don’t look too worried about it,” I commented.

“Why would I worry? I didn’t do it. Someone will figure out who did, eventually.”

“Right,” I said. “That would be me, I guess. Well, did you notice anything out of th’ ordinary last night, or hear any strange noises, or -?”

“No.”

I was not at all surprised, to be honest.

“You’re always so helpful, Reynard.”

“Happy to be of service,” he said, rolling his eyes a little. “Are we done here? I have work to do.”

Work sounded awful suspicious to me, but I knew better than to ask. He wouldn’t tell me anyway.

“Sure, we’re done here. Oh. Uh, can I borrow your - uh - whatever he is, for the day? Borney. Could use an extra set of hands. You never know how this kind of thing will turn out.”

“He’s an ensign, and yes. Make sure he gets some lunch.”

That was all we had to say to each other; Reynard was a man of few words, and he’d picked ‘em like he was going to run out of inventory if he wasn’t careful, but I had decided on something anyway: there was no way Reynard could have noticed or heard anything in the hallway the night before. It was impossible to hear a noise from a room he wasn’t in, and I could tell he had barely set foot in this one. The ash in the bucket was cold, and the place both was and wasn’t just typically neat - nobody had touched anything in it, far as I could tell, and if I knew anything, I knew Reynard wouldn’t normally have countenanced a chair at any angle other than right.

Where exactly he had been was the question, and why. Not that I really thought he was a murderer. I was just curious.

“So, Borney,” I said, as we headed off. “Don’t suppose you know where your boss was last night, do you?”

He blinked vacantly at me.

“What? No. I wasn’t even on duty last night.”

“Just thought I’d ask,” I said. Knickers hustled along ahead of us, and vanished as we crossed a courtyard. I got to suffer in silence for about five minutes until Borney started asking questions.

“Where are we going, sir?”

“The Redanian section,” I said. “And stop calling me sir.”

“Oh. Why?”

“To find out about this Ward Rosenbold guy. Why else? Let me tell you a secret, Borney,” I said, “You won’t know this, since Reynard isn’t married: if an officer turns up dead, you really only got three suspects - his wife, his lover, or his soldiers. I mean, that’s more than three, assuming he has more than one of the last thing, but you get the picture.”

Borney didn’t say anything else.

Finding any of the people I’d mentioned turned out to be a little tricky. Seemed Rosenbold wasn’t a man with many friends. Nobody could tell me much about him, but at least someone let me slip ‘em a few coins and gave me the key to his room. We let ourselves in and shut the door. I took a quick look around myself.

“Is every room in this castle th’ exact same, or is it just me?”

Borney shrugged.

Same table, bed, chairs, trunk. The difference between this room and mine, or this room and Reynard’s, was that someone had left things around. Most of it was just gear; armor and the like. I poked through a pile of dirty clothes. Borney watched in silence.

*****

11:10 pm

Meve set the report down.

“Reynard,” she said. “I think we have a problem.”

He appeared in the doorway of the other room and leaned against the jamb, frowning slightly.

“What kind of problem?”

“Gascon’s come to the, uh, wrong conclusion.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, he appears to think one of us actually did murder that knight, or he’s pretending he does. Whichever it is, he’s fixated on how you don’t have an alibi, from the looks of this so-called report.”

“So what do you want to do?”

He wasn’t going to like it, she thought. She wasn’t a big fan of her solution, herself.

“I think th’ best thing to do is tell him where you were,” she said.

“Maybe you’re right.”

His tone was definitely less than enthusiastic. She couldn’t really blame him. Keeping a relationship a secret wasn’t easy. It felt like everyone they crossed paths with was watching them closely, looking for some weakness to exploit. Letting any outside party in, even one they both trusted, was a hell of a risk to take in an already dangerous affair.

“He won’t tell anyone else. About us, I mean,” she said, eyeing his crossed arms and frown. “Not even by accident. You know that.”

He nodded.

“I suppose this was bound to happen eventually,” he said. “One way or another.”

She considered telling him that she thought maybe it was already too late, and that there was a good chance they were keeping a secret that Gascon already knew about, but it had gotten to where it was just easier to try not to think about it. Besides, Gascon couldn’t know exactly how long they had been keeping it going. They had spent weeks, at the end of the war, trying play it safe until the documents were signed and it really was safe. Even though they had tried to make sure they weren’t alone in a room, or a tent, or a shadowy corner of a castle hallway, it had turned out to be more or less impossible. They had settled for making sure everyone knew the exact purpose of their occasional private meetings; they always had something to do with intelligence or planning for the peace conference or some other necessarily classified problem. As far as she could tell, they’d succeeded there, at least, and nobody would ever know that they’d failed to keep everything that went on behind closed doors professional.

“I know it’s getting late, but sooner’s probably better than later,” she said, flipping through the report.

“If you want me to go find him, you’ll have to give me my shirt back,” Reynard noted.

“Come get it,” she said, not looking up. She heard him walk across the room and stop behind her; he slid his shirt off her shoulders, paused, and pressed his lips against the back of her neck. He made his way around to the pulse point in her throat and down her shoulder before she remembered that they had plans.

“Don’t get distracted,” she said.

Who’s crushin on ya!? 😏🥰😍 This is a general pick a pile reading for the collective and your person. It may not resonate for all, so just take what sticks. Feel free to pick just one pile or take a look at them all. but please....be honest with your story. remember that timing is fluid and free will is something we all have. This could have already happened, your going through it, or will happen. Follow your heart always. -E 🌻💙

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PILE 1 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

So pile 1 your person is STUCK on you. This is someone from your past crushin on you. They just cant seem to get you out of their head-its literally making them sick. It’s like they have tried everything to distract themselves. But at the end of the day they are just worried sick, and have to speak whats on their mind. I see two 8s here so that number could be important to you or the connection. This person will be reaching out to you. this person lost you. You walked away from them and continued on with your life. And now that you left them, they are in a state of grief that you aren’t with them anymore. Ohhhhh, I see why you did....they were low vibes, huh? Had additions and didn’t want to come out of them either. Just stuck to their ball and chain. You gave A LOT to this connection. so much so that you were getting drained. I’m seeing a heart monitor, so it was like you were pumping love to this person on life support. And they were taking it. And it helped them, but they didn’t give it back because they didn’t have it. So-you had to leave. im getting that you had NOTHING left. Like even if you tried or wanted to give or have more for this person. they sucked you dry. And this hurt you. I am getting a betrayal energy from this person. They are stalking you too. If you moved on, they are looking at the new person around too. i heard the song “what we could have been“ by H.E.R. I see a guy driving around in his car at night listening to music smoking. So this person is dead in their feelings about you. They are reminiscing a lot about you. Don’t move too fast pile 1 because they are coming back. This person has done some work on themselves while they have been away too. They have been listening to spirit more. You were a divine light to them. you were placed in this persons path to help them with their addictions, help them be a better person. But nope they wanted to stay in the low vibes. like I always say, “and empress will never stay where she isn’t wanted. She will leave-BUT she will always be wanted back. She will always be needed. And this person, pile 1 needs you. i just heard I can’t live without you. So look out because they are coming around the mountain. Good luck. 😉

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PILE 2 🧿🧿🧿

Hi pile 2. Right off....this person wants to come back to you. But right now is a bad time. This person had a third party in the past and because of it, you cut them off. I don’t get the sense that this was a super long relationship. More of the beginning stages of developing into one. But this person was playing the field still. And you were having none of it. Youve been through enough. So you told them like it was, and if they try to come back again. You’ll tell them....again!! 😂 because you stood your ground, they view you as somebody different. I get that this person is used to getting over on people. But not with you so when you turned them away and cut them off. It forced them to make decision. and now their other options, I’m getting multiple people involved. They are done with them now. They have chosen you, and they are looking to come back. But boy oh boy they do have a ways to get there. This person could be at distance from you. I’m getting across water or state so they may travel to get there to you. but they have got to come correct because you are not playing! I get the sense of your not coming off of your throne-you just won’t do it. This group is no nonsense I mean honestly. 😩 your ready. You know your worth, and you are worthy of something good. You will not settle, nooooo not this time. Because youve already been through this. your heart can’t be played with anymore. This person is sad without you. They thought the other options would be better than you. Like oh “ill just go in my back pocket and choose from these”. But none were like you, so because of that....they feel STUPID. they feel so dumb, so sad that when they do come back. they won’t be able to even get a word in because you won’t hear them out. The “others“ are still coming for your person. Talk to them, be with them. But your person is just like no, I dont Want to be bothered, I want my bae back. But hey.....you may or may not be there when they decide to come. like they call you and if you answer then okay but if not, oh well. 😂 this person regrets what they've done. So dumb, so silly. To think....the other options were going to fulfill them. But they were sadly mistaken. pity boy, pity gal. 🥲 this person had options out the buttttt. They were playa playa from the Himalayas. this Person tried to play you, get over on you. And you found out. And said no not me, you WILL NOT do this to me. And they never had anyone do that to them. pile 2 I’m seeing you already know what it feels like to be not considered in a high regard. and You won’t do it again! Like if they want the others...go BYE! and now this person is feeling like they sabotaged this with you. They were living their ego. Somebody who has multiple options like that needs their ego to be fed. Like if the main person they want doesn’t work out or something happens they have backups. They can just go to someone else. Now this person feels like they aren’t enough for YOU! They now lack confidence, they are the jealous ones. They self-sabotaged. So yeah this person will come back with time, but your address may have changed by that time. *I just want to say I’m very proud of this group. A lot of lessons and growth!* best of luck! 😁

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PILE 3 🌸🌸🌸

alrighty pile 3, welcome! So this read will be more intuitive. Ironically enough, this group pulled three cards. So let’s get into it!.....*moment of silence because the energy is rather intense here*. I heard the song “baby come back” by player. I’m feeling this group has moved on from their person tbh. Like it’s just too little, too late for this person. This was somebody you walked away from. There was A LOTTT of love here. but also secrets and fears in this connection. With this person, your energy is coming up as “how could you do this to me-ME. Not in an egotistical way, but because you trusted and loved this person. And they loved you too. So when they did whatever they did to hurt or betray you, it was like how could you. 😩 I’m feeling like you weren’t even mad about it, more disappointed than anything. So after, you started just doing your own thing. Not really concerned with anything or anyone else. Just working on yourself. A reinvention. I’m seeing healthy eating or changing the color of your hair. Wearing sexy clothes (just for yourself) everything you started to do was about self love. And just when you started to move on or found someone new.....HERE THEY COME. like oh wait for me! i gotta be honest with y’all. I don’t feel like this person really cheated on you. I’m getting that maybe you thought they were doing you wrong but they weren’t. or a really bad agruement took place and something was said or done that was very distasteful and you felt betrayed by it. But I’m not getting strong cheating energy. You really thought it was something and it wasn’t and this person tried to explain and it went from there. (Downhill that is) there is so much sadness here. You really though this was going to work out and it didn’t. There has been some time that has passed here. This person didn’t know how to come back. no idea on what to say or do about the situation. But they daydream about it 24/7. They think about being intimate again and how it was like with you (if y’all were). this person wants to play something romantic. I’m seeing a dinner with candles a few drinks. Trying to take it back to the good times. But it took too long for this person. and now this person sees you with someone new And they can’t help but wonder...what if I would have gotten back in time. What if things would have worked out? This person does want to come back without a doubt! But will they? I’m not too sure, because it looks like you have someone else now. *PLOT TWIST*!!!! Pile 3 let me ask you this, do you love this new person like your old flame? I think NOT. You like this new person and everything, but your heart is with the person you broke up with. The new person is diggin you and likes you a lot. But there’s something thats just not hittin the same anymore. And your old person didn’t forget about you either. *i pulled extra cards for this group because I’m really feeling like this just may come back together. I’m getting that vibe heavy. For the outcome. I don’t see y’all coming back together ASAP because theres a decision that needs to be made and you don’t want to choose .your just kinda there. This connection right here is a divine pair. With the lovers and emperor here. But there’s still work that needs to be done by both parties and a conclusion by you. So you will be separated until then. I’m telling y’all...if you choose this person. Do not be surprised if this person gives you a ring. This person may right music or be into the arts. They may give you a gift that comes from their heart. a song. I heard melody. they could play an instrument or that was something you two had In common. The thought you of keeps this person sane while you aren’t with them. The thought of being with you again keeps them together. Like when they a bad day or something. Because you aren’t there physically, them daydreaming keeps them motivated. Pile 3, intuitively I gotta say it. I know y’all gotta make a decision and everything but this is going to work out. Idk when because time is fluid but it’s going to come back together. I’m telling y’all

now. its Going to take patience but in time it will. This connection is strong, y’all love each other too much. This person loves you. And they want to restore this! Like I said, this new person...your not fooling me! Yeah you like them, but that heart of yours didnt go anywhere. I’m going to say for this pile, your going to have to make the first moves because they feel like your done with them. They feel like there’s nothing they can do or say to get you back. WOW, you all have to let me know how this plays out because it will work out! I almost want to cry. can I get an invite to the wedding with a +1 please!?

i don’t usually do this but i feel Compelled to do a liveblog/review of Mouth Dreams so here goes

Please don’t read this if you haven’t heard the album yet as it’ll spoil Everything

(i’ll admit the idea came to me After i listened to Just a Baby so these first ones are gonna be relistened reviews)

first we got Yahoo. what can i say about this song? neil starts off Strong with incredibly sustained notes and just one phrase, in typical neil style. and he makes it work in so many different ways! honestly didn’t expect myself to get so attached so fast but that’s just the way his magic works ig. when the hoooooooos harmonise it almost brings tears to the eyes. i would love to see a group of choristers singing this with another guy on an electric keyboard. what a cold open. 9/10

of course then we go on to the titular track, the dimension of sound, the dimension of imagination, the dimension of doors. rod serling narrates the intro in his traditional monotone as the warbling twilight zone theme plays in the background. i tell ya i was actually Screaming when the track finished and he dropped the title! it may not be a song per se, sort of like Blockbuster from Mouth Moods, a ‘filler track’ if you will, but the effort in those fifty seconds cannot be ignored. it just goes to show once again how Good he is at what he does. 6.5/10

oh lawd, my favourite so far, Spongerock. reading the title i had absolutely No idea what to expect. the goofy goober song from the movie? winner takes all from band geeks? i was pleasantly surprised to find myself tapping out queen’s distinctive boom boom CLAP as the song progressed, and i was in complete Hysterics the whole way through, chanting along with the kids as the pirate encouraged me to sing louder. it’s such a beautiful fit the way they mesh together, and it’s one of those mashups that you listen to and think ‘why has nobody done this before?’ but neil is on a higher plane of existence than us and Knows where it’s at. you’re never the same after you’ve listened to Spongerock. 7.5/10

Just a Baby, where i stopped to begin this thing, is a melancholy song, which i’m not usually a fan of. i admit i don’t know the original song so i kept quiet until the last chorus or two. it’s the yang to the yin of Wow Wow from Moods, another sentence-mixer that was like a full Bop and barely gave you time to catch your breath. in Just a Baby you begin to empathise with the singer as he regales confusing times of his constant youth, including the time his mother (a train) shot a man in cold blood. it’s a powerful ballad, and it’s got a tasteful amount of justin bieber adding backing vocals to the chorus. i may have to deduct a few points cos the lyrics are gonna be hard af to remember. 7/10

ok next up we got Superkiller. this one’s totally blind! i’m. ehhhhh okay not diggin this one very much. ok that say something once line being repeated was comedy gold but talking heads are just like. kinda tuneless tbh. i’m glad he’s trying to lassoo it together with u can’t touch this but it’s kinda falling short tbh. i wouldn’t skip it but it’s not as memorable as the previous ones. 5/10

starting Get Happy. i’m not gonna lie i think i Know what this is, there are only so many options after all. i predict it’s a mix of “get dancin’” by disco-tex and the sex-o-lettes and “happy” by bahrrel williams, and i really hope that ain’t the case cos i Love the first one but despise the latter. oh well let’s see if he can pull it off. sounds like village green by the kinks so far lol uhhhh i have no idea what to make of this. okay i feel like i’m gonna like this after all. hey it’s got memorable lyrics at least! is it gonna get faster? or just more bassy? yknow maybe i was too critical at the start, but i had no idea what to expect. this is a feel-good pop song and it’s definitely making me feel happier than i was when i was listening to Superkiller. 7/10

Ribs? wtf do i expect from a song called Ribs lmao another song i’ve never heard of IH IT’S EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE TH WORLD OH YEEEEEEEEES omg i Love this song i sing it to myself when i’m walkin my dog cos his little paws click-clack on the pavement to the exact rhythm of the song omg i’m in Love! another one with odd lyrics but i think after a Lot of repeat listening i’ll be able to properly croon along to this one omg! it reminds me of Best from Mouth Silence in that they’re both about products, only instead of folgers in your cup it’s about chili’s baby back ribs omg neil you’re Perfect! how come more advertisers haven’t contacted you for a product placement deal?? 7.5/10

next we got My Mouth. welcome to? who knows let’s hit play. ooooh minor key. is this a real song? it sounds like oney singing a cover of something. oh That’s the gimmick? 2:30 long i hope there’s something else tbh cos otherwise it’s gonna get pretty thin pretty fast. mm not a fan. the weakest so far imo especially after Ribs blew me away. definitely a bad dream. 3.5/10

Aerolong don’t fail me now! okay see This is how you do a mashup. I DON’T MISS YOU BABAY AND I DO WANNA MISS A THING THAT’S GOLD!! this is just a song about saying bye to your ex lmao i love it. wish it was longer though. 6/10

Sleepin’ here we go! ok in the youtube version the first half of this song is just silence so that wasn’t fun. gee this one’s only moderately better than My Mouth i’m feeling very shortchanged. 4/10

what to expect from Aamoorree? hopefully this one’s another jam but...okay i’m likin this one. it’s Fun and isn’t trying too hard! it’s just a drunk dean martin singing about pizza pie on karaoke night, what more could you ask for lol. 6/10

Where Is My Mom? by the p-p-p-pooo-oo-ooo-oooool of course. i don’t recognise the other song but it’s decent. i’ve listened to slowed-down songs before (the sludgefest chipmunks albums lately) and this one’s kinda ok. not a fan of the ending but points for effort ig. 5.5/10

Fredhammer ay? might there be some peter gabriel in there? undoubtedly. yup there it is lol ok now bring in the flintstones? oh ig that’s fred durst? mm not totally feeling it so far but censoring he** was funny lmao HEY THERE’S SEINFELD i’m wheezin that was a good way to end a song, well done neil. 6.5/10

here goes Limp Wicket. i’m on the edge of my seat. and Again i’m disappointed. is this a bunch of ewoks singing some kind of star wars song? or is it jarjar? either way this is Not a good song. it probably wasn’t before he mashed it up but this wasn’t an improvement. bringing in Fredhammer didn’t help this song much at all, in fact i think it brought both songs down actually. last one was a 7/10 but i Have to dock it points now that it’s a two-parter. as for this one? i’m being generous cos the limp bizkit song was good. 1/10

Cannibals runs for 4 minutes. PLEASE don’t let this be a repeat of the last one. i get that miners can’t dig up gold every time but don’t just show up with a bunch of rocks and iron pyrites yknow i’m just gonna start. i don’t want to be angry at this album. i recognise that sound in the bg! from a cyriak vid i think. thx comin in. loooooooong drone. ugh UGH there are Too many lucid dreams on this album. starting to regret liveblogging this cos i Loved the other three mouth albums. this one’s just falling flat again and again. 3/10

here comes The Outsiders. there is NOTHING to say about this. 1.5/10

come on Johnny. okay that got a laugh out of me, not many songs start with a booing crowd like that, is that meta? wouldn’t put it past him tbh. ah i’ll give it a 5/10, for a kinda filler song it wasn’t too bad.

Closerflies, this has gotta be gold. PLEASE. intro’s goin on for a little too long...mm having never heard the original version of closer i gotta admit i thought it’d be faster, like the one used in Rollercloser in Silence. this version seems very sloppy and sluggish, especially the bassline. 3/10

Nightmovin’ i’m not expecting much OH good intro oh YES now here we go. this is a good one, it’s got clear lyrics and a catchy tune, i’m liking this one more and more by the second. cuts off weird but it’s going into the next one. so i’m gonna leave the rating out of this one and see how it is after the next one.

Whitehouse i’m holding my breath. mm it’s Good but not great tbh. criminal that the last one was half as long as this one. think i’m gonna give both of these songs a 5/10 i doubt they’ll be anyone’s favourites. the title is a nice little joke too i respect that.

Wah! what’s neil’s obsession with using wannabe as a source lmao! it’s another decent one but nothing memorable again. 5/10

Pee Wee Inc i’m expecting big things. good intro I’M IN LOVE okay this is Much better than i imagined it’d be. did he use the radio edit of feel good inc? this is a heck of a way to bring it back to the gold stuff and i wouldn’t be surprised if this is what neil’s head sounds like all the time. 7/10

on to 10,000 Spoons. not sure what to expect from the title. okay this is a Nice one i think. throwback to the likes of Just a Baby with the two songs and the sentence mixing and it’s Good. and really 10,000 spoons is So ironic anyway, don’t you think? 7/10

oh another song called Mouth Dreams? an extro? that was Weird lol ok the intro i wasn’t too keen on, def not as much as the intro, but i got to appreciate it as it went on. like Rlly appreciate it i was beginning to reflect on what a journey i’d been through tonight, especially writing it all down. felt very poetic. and then WHAM, out of nowhere, after being gone for 23 songs, all-star came Back and How! gotta give this one a 7.5/10

keep the train rolling Brithoven! i can hear faint bits of instruments in britney’s song in the back of her audio which sound like a mistake but knowing neil.......yah lmao. this song’s kinda like Promenade (Satellite Pictures at an Exhibition) from Mouth Sounds, i liked what i heard. very nice. 6.5/10

the final song. we’re gonna be hit one more time for Ain’t! and i have NO idea what i’m in for! in the hall of the mountain king eh? is this like a way of looping around to the first song of the first album with classical music? ok the snoring’s a nod to Bustin i’m sure lmao funny anyway. i thought i heard a hey now in there but i must be going nuts. wouldn’t call it a grand finale but it is what it is. 5/10

now the question that must be asked - was Mouth Dreams trying to make a point? was there a reasons so many songs were of lower-quality than previous albums? perhaps it’s just a matter of taste, or perhaps it’s as rod said back on track two, that this album is a doorway into another dimension, and the further you progress, the more mind-rattling, brain-melting concepts you come across. the album gets an average of 5.5 which is kinda disappointing. don’t think i’ll be listening to the whole thing again. thanks for reading!

GoT Season 8 Episode 1: The Pointy End Recap

Gods I am back on my bullshit but I can't help it 'cause I had too many thoughts about yesterday's episodes.

Disclaimer: So if you know me or my blog you know I don't root for D Targy (I write it like this cuz i don't want this post to pop up in her tag) and that she sometimes annoys the crap out of me, also i don't root for her bland ass romance or anything magical lizard related. I support House Stark 100% so ofc I believe in Pol!Jon (and more over I am a Jonsa shipper so ofc Imma write about that) and if you don't agree or don't feel confortable with any of those things this Recap is not for you (if you come here to troll I'll just ignore you anyway so don't waste your time and energy like that)

With that said let's begin!

-The episode starts with a young boy running to meet the Queen's entourage, we already see a lot of peasants and common folk gathered there, Arya sees the boy and smiles fondly (she is totally reminiscing when she did the same when King Bobby B visited WF) This shots made me feel very nostalgic as they parallel very closely S1.

Another parallel that it's included here is Jon and D arriving all regal couple like, I was just remembering about Bobby B and Cersei, and things are already on a visual side not working for them (d looks totally out of place with that flashy awkward coat, I mean the color, the cut, the red details, all of it makes her stand out like a sore thumb. On a visual level alone she does not belong there). The music is also worth noting, it starts off on a very ominious tone and then gets some heroic B bright undertones as Dr and Jon ride closer to he camera, but again falls into an ominious conqueror-villian entrance song.

The perspective shifts to Arya watching Jon and D riding (she doesn't seem happy to see D she kind of looks confused) but smiles when she sees Jon, we also see The Hound (Arya looks really confused, cuz she probably thought he was dead) and Gendry (she gives the cutest smiles ever,and yassssss Gendyra lives!!) riding behind them.

We get Varys and Tyrion riding in a carriage of sorts, and an unnecesary enuch joke *sigh* even Varys calls out Tyrion for it, and he is like idgaf cuz i got ballzzzz!! (Classy dude)

The common folk is not diggin this dragon kween business and obviously don't cheer or grovel at d's feet, she is very upset at this and Jon is like "I told you so", then the dragons approach and the people are terrified, they scream and run, worst of all D smiles and seems so smug (fuuuck her a thousand times, this proves she doesn't give a fuck about poor people unless they adore her, and that fear is just as well for her as respect, cuz this bitch is just like Cersei but dumber) and we don't really get to see Jon's reaction but come the fuck on!! This people Jon knows, some of them he has seen since he was a little boy, these are the people he is trying hard to protect and you think he is not gonna care for them just cuz d is pwetty?? Nah dude, he knows she cares about being worshipped (I meaaaan her long ass list of titles) but he thinks she is mostly harmless (may i remind you he still doesn't know about the TARLYS)

The camera follows the dragons and we see Sansa looking at them with worry (my poor girl, that's the adecuate reaction when you see monsters terrifying your people)

K, now we are seeing Jon in the courtyard, he sees Bran and immediately runs to him (you can clearly see Jorah helping D dismount in the background and that's hillarious cuz 2 seconds in WF and he is already leaving her ass behind in favor of his family), we even get a forhead kiss and Jon is pretty emotional at seeing his baby brother all grown up (tbh i find Bran's deadpan deliveries so funny, Jon looks confused af) he sees SANSA and biiiitch (I wanted to screenshot his face but I just gave up cuz it's very quick) the softness of his stare, the parted mouth, the way he just dives into her arms (Sansa stares at D while they hug like bih fuck off he is ours) . I want to address something real quick, yeah it was a shorter hug than we expected, but not less emotional ( Sansa was smiling and the look on Jon's face when he saw her) still it was 10000x times better than any Aegony scene because the affection is mutual Jon goes straight for a hug and Sansa opens her arms as opposed as Aegony scenes that rely heavily on D. Also I think this hug was shorter (and we see Jon pulling apart first) cuz d is watching, not only that but a lot of people are and i do think this season until the parentage reveal is out in the open they will be trying to keep their distances cuz they have feelings siblings are not supposed to have.

Jon asks for Arya, and Sansa says she is lurking somewhere with a smile (this reminded me of Cat asking about Arya on ep 1) and D approaches with the most forced smile ever, Jon introduces Sansa with her proper title first and then is like she is the kween D Targy forsaking all her thousand titles thank god. Also the first thing Jon says is that Sansa is his sister which I'll talk about later. So D tries (and fails) to be charming, saying how beautiful WF and the North (she says it's as beautiful as Jon said) and compares Sansa's beauty to it which had me wondering stuff.

A) so we never get Jon and D talking about Jon's siblings (another aegony is doomed moment) but he does mention briefly Arya and Bran cuz he thought they were dead, but Sansa??? Unless a thrid party brought her up he never talked about her which leads me to think D had no idea about Sansa being Jon's sister and that is why he breaks the hug and introduces he as his sister frist of all.

B) By talking about Sansa's beauty and how Jon talked about it, it implies they did talk about Sansa and that Jon said she was beautiful ??? Cuz that's the way D made it sound xdddd.

Ofc i think the A to be more like lyrics cuz Jon is playing his cards very close to his chest, but I thought it was funny.

Sansa brushes her of and delivers the WF is yours your Grace bs. Duuuude she is not even trying to be charming (she is corteous enough but barely) like she would have played the modest naive Maiden and said "not as beautiful as you, your grace" (bihhh d would have loved this shit) nor even a gracious thank you. And i wonder whyyy?? As far as she knows she is an ally, and yeah she doesn't trust her damn she doesn't even like her but that hasn't stopped her before like damn she was all charm when she met Roose and Ramsey for the 1st time and she hated them!!!! What I think is happening is that LF'S words are still in her mind about Jon marrying D, and Jon separated too quickly from their hug, and now he is standing beside this woman calling her queen, and yeah I see the jealousy maybe she doesn't know why fully maybe she is just starting to realize her feelings and is all projecting them onto the he betrayed the north's trust but I do feel it goes beyond that and it shows.

Bran interrupts before things get uglier with D and Sansa, with news about the wall, D looks shocked (bet she thought she was the only one who could control dragons) Jon looks like he is about to have a pánico attack.

They have a meeting with the northern Lords in the Great Hall (it is very curious that Jon is seated between d and Sansa, when befitting her new title D should be in the middle, D&D are driving this love triangle home) but from the get go we see that Sansa is the one running stuff and doing everything a queen should, she asks Ned Umbr about his people, he says they need more wagons and horses (I am sideeyeing D so hard at this moment) Sansa bids him to go to Last Hearth and bring as many ppl as he can.

Lyanna Mormont then proceeds to rip Jon a new one (but Lyanna like everyone else isn't really getting the full picture) and Jon looks at Sansa for support (like curious, as Lyanna is talking about D and she is his lady love and stuff you'd think he would look at her to gather strenght or resolution for what he is about to say but nope) but she is like 'dude you deserve it' and I would say she is right but like wasn't Sansa defending him to everyone that would listen last season ??? She literally said she respects Jon's desicions, nah this is her jealousy this is a go on prove me wrong, talk, give them (and me) and explanation of why u betrayed our trust for her. And Jon does look crushed when he sees he is not getting any support from her cuz if pol!Jon is right he did it! He listened to her, he was smarter than father and Robb, he brought an army home, and Sansa the one he did all this for still won't trust him that the North is his heart and home and he would do anything to keep it safe (like still pretty fucking unfair he wants sansa's blind faith without giving her anything in return but I get where he is coming from) and if pol!Jon is not real then they really destroyed Jon's character in favor of the blandest romance ever and I can't get behind that way of thinking because before I even shipped Jonsa I was a fan of both Jon Snow and Sansa Stark and I believe and support them both.

Honestly my boy doesn't even try to sell D, he is just like we need allies!! Tyrion just about gives up cuz he thinks Jon is a bumbling fool with no idea of how the game is played (lmaooo) and tries to sell D plus the idea that Cersei is sending them the Lannister army (I think is very important jon didn't mention this and I will go on about it later) Sansa is just about fed up with this bs, and asks a real important question about how da fuck is she supposed to feed this big ass army plus 3 dragons that she didn't account for and she doesn't have any obligation towards, like that's d's job, even worse d's haughty response (you can see Jon doesn't like this one bit) like honestly I had never felt more annoyed by d she is already a villian threatening Sansa in her own home for daring to care more about her people than about d's lizards, and i don't know how people are ok with that, like dude y'all are entitled to your own opinión and to loving your faves, but this shit was awfull.

We see carts of dragonglass in the courtyard, Gendry is giving instructions and Lord Royce is just leaving Sansa looking at all this activity when Tyrion approaches Sansa.

This is already to long and I have much to say about the Tyrion-Sansa convo, so let's go on in part 2!!

#5: Season 3, Episode 1 - “The Kiss”

Season 3 begins with a bang -- bringing us one of the best, most memorable episodes the show has ever produced! Louis and Tawny accidentally kiss at lunch and the two decide to start dating!!! AHHHH! Everything's great until Tawny has to kiss Zack Estrada (yes, the saga continues once again) in the school play. The subplot is all about Donnie, who feels like a broken human because he never cries.

This is it, guys. The Top 5. The home stretch. The crème de la crème. Let’s go.

This episode was a really big moment in my childhood. I was going through some old VHS tapes I found not too long ago, and came across one with this episode on it! That’s how you know it was a major deal. The first minute or so was cut off on the recording, and this was before all of our TVs had in-depth guides at our fingertips -- so I had no idea what episode was going to be airing. All I knew was “Even Stevens is up next!” So as soon as I saw it was the kiss episode, I popped in that tape and recorded this thing ASAP. I was a tweenage hopeless romantic with a crush on Shia LaBeouf. Of course I had to record the episode where Louis gets a girlfriend.

It opens with Louis and Tawny at lunch together being adorable, trading snacks and sides until each of their lunches are completely different from what they started with. When suddenly, Tawny ~gets something in her eye.~ The oldest cliché in the book! I love it. Louis gets reaaal close to Tawny and goes diggin’ for gold in her eye, eventually identifying the “thing” as a soy cookie crumb. That’s when some person bumps into Louis and thankfully Tawny’s lips are there to break his fall.

The two are in absolute stunned silence once they break apart. It was a magical moment, clearly, as you can see. Ren interrupts their mutual daze by walking over with Zack Estrada and Tom in tow, reminding Tawny that she has a fitting for the school play. This does a hard cut to Louis’ room after school that day. Twitty dramatically spits out his drink when he hears the news: “DUDE! THIS IS HUGE YOU KISSED TAWNY?!?!”

I’ve mentioned before that Even Stevens comes across as more of a ~bro show~ in comparison to the majority of Disney Channel shows which typically follow a teen girl as the lead. This is why I love rare moments like this scene between Louis and Twitty. Two guy best friends freaking out about one of them kissing a girl for the first time. I feel like we never see this on Disney Channel anymore. It feels so real and genuine too, especially for these characters. Louis isn’t entirely sure if it counts as a kiss though, so Twitty demands to get the facts straight. (“Kissing is like basketball, either the ball went in the hoop or it didn’t!”) He asks Louis how long he kissed her for and Louis guesses it was a “one-Mississippi” length. Twitty rejoices.

“SWISH, DUDE! You kissed her!”

Louis is elated. Both of them agree that Louis + Tawny = Beautiful. (Can’t argue there!) So much so, that Louis starts to skip around with happiness. One of my favorite parts of the whole episode is here, when Louis takes a moment to think about how Tawny might be feeling. He has a mental breakdown when he realizes “Wait, whoa. There she was... Eating her lunch... and I, like... JUMPED on her! For all I know, Tawny’s disgusted by me!” Louis Stevens is the kind of guy we all deserve. I know it’s such a small thing, but it’s something that has aged amazingly. This line stood out like a sore thumb to me given today’s political climate and the Me Too era. I’ve said a million times that this show has aged super gracefully because it really has. It’s not entirely perfect though. No show is without its blemishes. There are some things we haven’t made it to yet in the countdown that have definitely not aged very well, but we’ll get to that later. Let’s just say, this one little line shows that Louis has grown exponentially as not only a character, but a guy in general, and sets a good example. Twitty vows to go on a “fact-finding mission” for Louis to figure out how Tawny feels about the situation.

Tawny is still back at school rehearsing for the play which was written by... you guessed it! REN STEVENS! This woman does everything. How does anyone else even have a job at LJH? Ren is in charge of everything ever. Ren’s brilliant and totally not boring play is about Abigail Adams, played by Tawny, and her relationship with John Adams, played by none other than Zack Estrada! Knowing these characters and their history, it’s clear that Zack is still into Tawny to some degree. Coach Tugnut is there because they apparently pay him $92 to be the theater advisor. I love how specific that amount is, lol. He has no problem telling Ren that her play is a pile of trash and needs to be spiced up if she wants to sell any tickets.

I love how Tom is playing the “lowly manservant.” He’s ridiculously dedicated to staying in character at all times throughout the episode. Tom’s the best. Tawny’s pattern mixing though. A plaid dress with red and black striped tights and Docs? She was so ~alternative.~ I love it.

Zack is trying to ask Tawny out for a root beer when Twitty crashes the rehearsal and not so subtly tries to ask Tawny about the kiss, skirting around the issue by nervously asking stupid questions instead like “where are your parents from originally?” But of course, Tawny is freaking awesome and has no time for anyone's bs as usual. She literally says “I’m gonna stop you. Because eventually, you’re going to ask me about the kiss Louis gave me today at lunch. If he wants to talk to me about it, he can talk to me without your help. Tell him to meet me at his locker 10 minutes before first period,” YAAAASSSSSS! TAWNY IS NO NONSENSE AND ONE OF THE GREATEST FEMALE CHARACTERS ON DISNEY. Praise.

The next morning Louis is waiting for Tawny at his locker and you’ve undoubtedly seen this screenshot of when he notices her walking his way:

Smooth. For whatever reason this is one of the main images that comes up as a “Louis Stevens” search result, therefore nearly every single nostalgia article uses it. It’s kind of annoying.

Louis and Tawny have a preciously awkward conversation, talking about how they both couldn’t sleep because they were up thinking about what happened. They’re also sort of skirting around the issue until Tawny puts her foot down once again: “Look, Louis, I like you. I always have. Since the first day I met you.” I am melting. Louis is so freaking happy and says “WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?! WE COULD’A BEEN KISSIN’ UP A STORM!!!” Oh, wow. They immediately start dating and I’m a puddle of goo. Also, this happens. Which... yeah, lol. 95k notes. Wow.

The first gif tho. Louis when Tawny was saying “I like you.” HOW GENUINE IS THAT FACE?! Shia won an Emmy for this so there is justice in the world. But yeah. They are so pure. :’)

This leads into a montage that spans possibly 3 days or so, showing us Louis and Tawny interacting as a couple. I hate that this is all we get. They should’ve stretched this montage into 3 episodes instead tbh. I live for this crap.

“Hey, babe. Want some celery?”

“Only 15 more hours ‘til I see you!”

"Thanks for walking me to rehearsal.” “Oh, anything for my beautiful lady.”

QUALITY CONTENT. Also, gotta love how polite Louis is being by wearing that hideous sweater Tawny knit for him.

I love this episode because we get to see actual ~Boyfriend Louis~ for the first and pretty much only time, and man is it something. Once again this show nails the awkwardness of Junior High relationships. It’s so intense when you’re 14, right?! There’s no such thing as casually dating. You have to be all in, 24/7. It takes over your life because you’re not really equipped to mentally handle a serious relationship at 14. This is why I never get tired of watching TV teen relationships. They’re always endlessly entertaining to me.

After watching a cheesy 1940s “Casablanca” knock-off romance movie with the fam, Ren realizes the “spice” her play needs is the passion of two people in love. She rewrites the play to make it more exciting and even adds in a passionate kiss between Abigail and John... a.k.a. Zack and Tawny... for the big finale. UH-OH! We’re introduced to Donnie’s little subplot there because Steve, Eileen, and even Beans -- bawled their eyes out at the movie but all Donnie could do was burp after stuffing his face through the whole thing. He starts to question “what’s wrong with me?!” because he felt no emotion whatsoever.

Ren announces the script changes at the rehearsal Louis walked Tawny to a few screenshots above. Coach Tugnut observes Louis and Tawny’s obvious couple-y vibe and tells Louis “First girlfriend? Get ready for a lifetime of pain.” Oh, god. That’s the last thing you should tell Louis Stevens. He starts freaking out and it only gets worse when he hears Ren tell everyone about the addition of the big kiss and Zack cheers “YEEEEEAHHHH!!!!!! *transitions into a cough to cover his excitement*” Because as I mentioned, it’s clear that he’s still into Tawny. I feel like if it was anyone other than Zack, Louis might be okay with the kiss. There’s just something about this guy that he absolutely cannot deal with. We first saw Louis' jealousy over Zack and Tawny way back in Season 1 with "Easy Way" and then "Strictly Ballroom." We also see Louis become super jealous over Twitty's friendship with Zack towards the end of the series. Also... I swear, I did not plan for 3 out of 4 episodes in The Zack Estrada Saga to end up in the Top 10 and be counted down in serial order. Pretty cool that it worked out that way though, haha.

Louis feels that Ren’s rewrite is “too predictable” so he decides to write his own ending for the play and presents it to Ren at home that night. He envisions the story concluding with Abigail running to her husband and giving him a haircut. HAHAHA! Anything but a kiss! “I’ve never seen it before!” he says. Welp, he’s definitely right about his idea being unpredictable! lol. Imagine?! Of course, Ren can tell that Louis is actually just freaking out about Zack kissing Tawny and Louis is like “Are you trying to embarrass me in front of the whole school?!” -- But, would it really be that bad though? Would people taunt him like “lol ur girlfriend kissed another guy” or something? Because, like... It’s just a play. But then again, it is middle school. So.

Louis is super down about the whole thing and Tawny finds him sulking on a bench the next day. She’s all “Hey, Cutie Pants! I’ve been looking all over for you!” -- ‘Cutie Pants’ is a little too far, lol. She brought Louis her “Tater Slabs,” which he declines. Side note: Are those supposed to be a form of Tater Tots? Because I feel like Disney Channel has a million different names for Tater Tots. They call them Tater Slabs here. These days, they’re calling them Baby Taters on Andi Mack. It’s just a constant reminder that “Tater Tots” is a registered trademark that Disney can’t say without coughing up the cash, lol.

Tawny asks Louis if something’s the matter and he’s like “I think you should quit the play” and pulls a bunch of bogus excuses out of his butt as for why. Tawny being Tawny cuts right to the chase: “Does this have anything to do with me kissing Zack?” I love this bit. She reassures him that all they’re doing is acting, it’s not real -- and there’s only one person she really wants to kiss. She asks Louis to promise he’ll be okay with it and Louis’ response of “Alright. I promise,” is the softest, most sincere thing I’ve ever heard this character say. It warms my heart every time. Tawny heads off to rehearsal and Louis is feeling prett-ay swaggy knowing he’s ~the only man in Tawny’s life~

I CAN’T DEAL WITH THIS. I also never knew what he was saying here, but I think I just realized he’s mouthing to himself “I’m the only one she really wants to kiss”

Louis was just accepting the fact that it’s ONLY ACTING until he sees the newly unveiled poster for the play that features a cozy picture from dress rehearsal.

CUT TO THE PLAY! It starts with a bit where Tawny/Abigail calls Tom’s character Renee “a loyal and faithful manservant.” Tom originally had a speech, but Ren cut it in her rewrite. So he milks his time on stage by saying “Thank you, thank you, thank you” repeatedly to Abigail. It’s great. Tawny and Zack are up there acting really well together! Louis’ whole family is whispering about how great their chemistry is and Louis is quaking.

One of John’s lines in the play is that he will think of Abigail “on two occasions... when my eyes are open, and when they are closed,” -- Is that a Babyface reference?! HAHA. Louis can’t take it anymore so he goes running backstage and I’m not sure what he was planning to do, but he ends up going completely insane. He somehow managed to steal Tom’s costume right off his back and goes running on stage demanding for John to leave before kissing his wife goodbye. It’s so cringeworthy. I can’t help but laugh though when Louis says “You must come with me at once! You gotta send her a postcard, email, or something! We gotta miss rush-hour traffic!” LOL.

Ren: “How did Louis get your clothes?!”

Tom: “He can be very persuasive...”

What could Louis possibly have said to get Tom to strip?! Omg.

Tom goes running on stage like ^ that in an attempt to save the play somehow and says “Excuse the undergarments, m’lady! I was under the cherry tree napping!” which was always one of my mom’s favorite lines, haha. Tom tries to drag Louis off stage but the entire play officially goes down in flames when Louis starts fighting Tom off of him. He goes rollin’ all over the stage, knocking down everything in his path -- completely ruining the set. It’s funny, but I also feel so bad for Tawny. Ugh.

After Louis destroys the whole shebang, he tries to play it off by doing this... which is truly hilarious:

Louis meets up with Tawny outside after the play and the two have such a dramatic conversation. I love it. Louis apologizes: “You gotta understand... I tried to be mature and cool. And the next thing I know, I’m up on stage wearing Tom’s pants! I’m really sorry.” It’s way more sincere than it sounds. Louis decides that he’s not ready for a relationship. This is actually such great character development for him. Interestingly, he’s mature enough to realize he’s NOT mature enough to seriously date someone. As upsetting and frustrating as it is to see the two break up, it’s also really satisfying to see him own up to his immaturity. This creates a true arc for when they finally get together in the series finale. It feels earned. Like they’re actually ready that time around. They decide to go back to being just friends for the time being. Before they part ways, however, Louis decides to leave Tawny with a super suave kiss?! What the heck?!

This was the biggest kiss of my entire childhood between two TV characters aside from Lizzie and Gordo at the end of The Lizzie McGuire Movie tbh. Everyone was expecting that Lizzie/Gordo kiss though. THIS one was outta left field here! This is so weird to me! He’s super smooth with Beans’ cousin later on and here he’s kissin’ Tawny like a pro. Idk, man.

The episode ends with Donnie finally crying over that Babyface lyric: “When his eyes are open, and when his eyes are closed......... THAT’S ALL THE TIME!”

And that’s it!

Gaaad, this episode is a classic. Like I said, it was a pretty big deal for 10 year old me, let me tell ya! I feel like it’s definitely one of the most memorable episodes ever. Not to mention, it technically has 3 plots (Louis/Tawny, Ren writing the play, and Donnie) and ALL OF THEM ARE INTERTWINED FLAWLESSLY! I gotta commend that. The only department I’d say this episode is lacking in is quotable dialogue. But that’s it really! It checks every box for me otherwise! This episode and the finale probably had a lot to do with Season 3 being my favorite as a kid, haha.

I love Leon so much...I watched Degeneration, ID and Vendetta and he's so...god. I love how he just keeps diggin' himself in more of a hole. He's stubborn, he's stubborn in him wanting to make what he thinks it's the right thing to do until he breaks. And he broke in Vendetta, he finally reached that point where he asks himself what is even the point.

I really like that? Especially when you put it with how Claire is handling stuff, she's not letting all the trauma and shit dig her a hole.

And tbh, Leon barely has time to even cope with it? He can't stay in a single place, he probably doesn't even have anybody to talk stuff out with. It's v sad :(

I both hate and love that Leon and Claire grew further apart with the years, and the decisions that they made. Especially Leon, who in ID he straight up just cut off Claire because he didn't want to...idk get in trouble? He was afraid of the consequences of his actions? Was afraid about how the public will react to the truth?

I can't wait to see more of them honestly, I wish they finally get to let their frustrations out about one another.

#leon is so...he has a cop stick up his ass. hes a rule following whore.#i love how vendetta leon is just like. fuck this fuck you and fuck chris! *kisses him*#i just...ugh i wish i knew more about claire #and i will know more about claire and the whole sherry situation #i miss sherry :(#i need to know

Drowned | pt. 1

in which i revisit this but... with lies and lessons.

here’s your major warning for drowning, and ptsd?? tbh because i am sorry, whiskey, but you’re gonna get broken.

part one of two.

Houdini was... a secret, to say the least.

A secret weapon, a secret lover --

Well, not that much of a secret. Not with the way Whiskey looked at her. Champ could read it a mile away.

It was why he had to address something... very seriously.

"Agent Houdini --" he started, that usual half-smile on his face as he leaned back in his chair.

Houdini had warmed up to Champagne in the last year, despite most of her instincts telling her that he'd leave at some point or another.

"I have something that.. may be of importance for you."

"Huh?" Her nose wrinkled. She wasn't sent off on fancy missions, nor requested for fieldwork. She quite liked her office views and training lessons for agents new and old, and her days of surveillance were usually rather relaxing.

"I need you to help us with the new recruits."

"Don't I already do that?" Houdini tilted her head, hands in her back pockets. Champ chuckled; she looked like she could be his daughter with the streaks of grey popping through her hair. Whiskey would about die if he heard his boss admit that.

"I did a little diggin' on ya, seems to me you used to be a lifeguard?"

She nodded; it was a job before things really turned sour in her life, before college and before... well...

"You need someone to watch the pool for their training? My cert's outta date but --"

"I know you didn't go through their training, but there's something we do a bit differently at Statesman. I'm surprised Whiskey hasn't told you about it yet, it's his favorite test for the large group," Champ explained, sitting up in his chair. "But we do a bit of teambuildin' with our large group. It's nice to shock them into workin' together."

"Explain, sir."

Champ chucked at the formality. "We do a bit of drownin'. Not real drowning, that would just be bad publicity. No one would ever want to join their ranks if someone died every time we went looking for new recruits. An' I understand that you used to do that sort of thing during your lifeguarding."

Houdini paled slightly; yes, she pretended to drown, but... "I was fully conscious the entire time."

"Don't sweat that part. We usually used one of our Seal friends, but seems to me they've been called away for their own work and can't help out. Ginger watches your vitals the entire time, you will never - and I mean, never - be in harm's way," he explained, elbows leaning against the desk. "I just know out of everyone in this entire organization, you're our best candidate."

She blinked for a moment; for once, Champ confirmed that she was good at what she did. Houdini nodded, chewing on her lip as Champ smiled softly.

"I don't mean to press you. But the timing falls just right; and don't you worry about Jack. I'll take care of him personally."

Houdini's paled face soon turned tomato-red; clearly, the secret was out. Champ had, in reality, known for months with the way Jack wouldn't shut up about their new 'find' and how she managed to drive herself into being better at just about everything.

"I -- uh --" she stammered, biting into her cheek.

"Don't you worry about a thing. If you're comfortable, go meet with Ginger down in the training center. She'll go over everything with you. I'll go make sure our Silver Pony gets taken out for a ride." Champ grinned, placing his hat back on his head.

Houdini nodded and scrambled out, her cheeks hot as she made her way towards the training center. Hopefully, Champ did mean he'd take care of things with Whiskey... if he found out she'd be drowning, well...

"Darlin'! There you are. I was lookin' for you, what --" Whiskey said, bending down to press a kiss to Houdini's lips after checking the hallway was clear.

"Champ said he needed you for something!" she said, pulling back.

"I know, that's why I'm headin' this way, but what's the rush?" His thumb stroked her cheek and she felt her heart hiccup in her chest.

"He said it was urgent you saw him, that's why. I don't know much, only that it may be a day or two," Houdini said, looking rather worried. She hated lying to Jack but.. it was for his own good. He panicked enough when she was going out for surveillance.

"What? It didn't sound so urgent to me..." he objected, thumb still stroking gentle circles into her cheek.

"You should go see what it's about, Jack. I gotta go check on that video file I asked Ginger for." Houdini hopped up and pressed a chaste kiss to his cheek, her hand lingering against his forearm before skipping down the hallway.

Whatever Champ told Houdini wasn't sitting right with Whiskey.

In just under an hour, Houdini and Ginger had crafted an identity, a background, and even a file within the Statesman computer system as a potential trainee.

"This way, everyone else involved will know," Ginger said, and Houdini nodded in agreement. "Speaking of knowing. Did you want to be alerted when the water would be rising?"

"No. I want to have as much of a genuine reaction as possible. Me knowing would just make things seem suspicious if someone in there knows what to look for," Houdini said, shaking her head.

"You're giving these recruits way too much credit, but I know you'll be fine. We monitor trainee vitals anyway, so there won't be any reason to hide the tracker."

"Great! I'll go pack a bag --"

"No need, we provide everything for trainees. You just get to pick a color..." Ginger chuckled, "though I assume it'll be purple?"

"You know me so well."

"Listen, I'll be back sometime tomorrow night. Champ just wants me to fly out towards some area in Montana. Eastwood will keep you company tonight, okay?" Whiskey said, practically shouting over the sounds of the hangar.

"I've told you a thousand times. I'll be fine." Houdini retorted, putting her hands on her hips.

"Make sure you don't go too hard on those new recruits!" Whiskey added, chuckling.

"I don't see them for a few weeks, Jack. Be safe."

"See you soon."

With the chatter around them, the couple quickly shared a goodbye kiss hidden behind the wings of the Silver Pony.

Houdini prayed he'd be back after everything was said and done.

"Good evening, everyone. My name is Ginger Ale, and welcome to Statesman. You have been selected to be among the best in our nation, to serve and fight the unknown. This training will not be easy - for some of you, it may even mean death. Remember what got you here, your drive, and you will be successful. But know, only one of you can take the title of Agent Vodka..."

Ginger greeted the agents with a persona that felt right at home, her high-tech clipboard tucked under her arm. The expectations, as well as the procedures for failure, were also swiftly explained. Recruits of different backgrounds, ages and clearly from across the country relaxed as soon as Ginger left the room, moving to unpack their given belongings.

"Quite the techie they've got --"

"I think the term is Quartermaster?"

"Oh, so like Q! I knew this place was James Bonds-y when we got here..."

Houdini had to restrain herself with her reply; "I think what you're looking for is Mission Impossible."

"You think they've got masks? I'm sure they have to, I mean, it is --"

The few male agents discussing what agency Statesman was most like were cut off by Ginger's voice over the loudspeaker.

"Wake-up is at 0700 tomorrow. Be ready for anything!"

Houdini chuckled at how cheery Ginger sounded.

Morning came as quickly as the rest of the day had gone; Houdini wondered where Whiskey had flown off to and when he'd turn back around. Hopefully, it'd be another full day - late at night - when he would return. The recruits went off running as a warmup before heading to the firing range. In the back of her mind, she wondered when Ginger would trigger the button. While they were sleeping seemed to be the best case and really get them by surprise...

It wasn't until after lunch, when they were handed books and binders, did the other recruits quiet down. Tim, Jared, and David seemed to be unable to keep their mouths quiet about the theories and themselves. Amanda and Imani, two of the four female recruits, organized a small circle and welcomed Houdini into it, binders and books surrounding them.

"I think we should stick together. We all seem to have a good set of skills and good heads on our shoulders," Amanda smiled, glancing over at the group of three men.

"I think they're all former Marines. That's why they found themselves so easily," Imani commented, shaking her head.

"Well, let's get reading. I'd feel better getting a chunk of this work out of the way," Houdini smiled, opening her own copies as the other women agreed.

Whiskey, speeding along in the Silver Pony, noted some odd markings on his map along with some curious radio chatter. Something about 'Eden's Gate' continuously repeated, as if a warning. He quickly called it in before being given the command from headquarters to turn back; the phrase seemed questionable according to the few in the command station. It pinged a few searches with even more questionable material; Whiskey hummed to himself as a chill slipped down his spine.

"Good t'know, folks. Be sure to send Champ this info. Whiskey, out."

Ginger watched from the control room, tapping away at her clipboard. It was past dinner, and many of the agents were winding down in their beds. The day seemed to take a toll on them, meaning it was nearly time.

"Champagne, sir, we've got a message for you pertaining the work you sent Agent Whiskey out for?" One of the radio comms said, paging in from the control tower.

"Go ahead."

"We're clearing him for landing now. We tried to reach you earlier, but that Montana business is much messier than expected. Key phrase 'Eden's Gate' popped up over radio chatter multiple times. Seemed better to return than to engage in their airspace."

"Keep him away from the training center. That is an order."

"Ginger, we've got a situation --" Champ had paged in just as the water began to rise. Most recruits were asleep, some with their arms and legs hanging off the edge of the bed.

All vitals appeared on one of the larger screens, beeping away happily. It was important to monitor Houdini's, given her role in tonight's production. Ginger ignored Champ's page as she watched carefully, waiting for the water to safely and completely rise before responding.

The water had reached the bottom of the mattress as the speed doubled. No one had reacted yet, many still fast asleep.

The door to the control room swung open and Whiskey wandered in, helmet under his arm. "Well, seems to me I'm gettin' a good show tonight!"

Ginger slammed end on the pager and snapped around. "What are you doing back? You know you shouldn't be in here."

"Seems that our Montana problem is a bit bigger than expected. Works out better this way, now I can get a show before dinner! Where's Houdini? She should really see this for herself. Girl's lucky she never..." Whiskey dropped his helmet, staring at the screen where he saw Houdini's name and picture along with normal vitals.

"Ginger, what in the fuckin' hell is Houdini doing on this monitor?" His tone was harsh, sharp against the soft waves of the rising water.

"Whiskey, I told you, you can't be in here..." Ginger warned.

"Ginger, you best not be playing any fuckin' games with me." His heart was pounding, matching the rate of Houdini's on the screen as she jolted upright, water up to her neck.

"Whiskey, listen --" Ginger pleaded, trying to pull his attention away from the window and the screens. "Listen to me. Everything is fine, this is just routine and you know that --"

"Don't you fucking do this! Stop the water right now. She can't be in there, she --"

"Jack."

He was getting frantic, pressing his hands to the glass, looking for any signs of his girl.

The water was rising up faster, soon swallowing the room up. The recruits struggled, and many only looked out for themselves as they swam towards the mirror. Houdini felt her own panic rise as she took one last breath, head bobbing against the ceiling before the room was completely filled.

"Damn it! Give the controls to me, Ginger. I'm getting Laura out of there."

"No, you're not." The Quartermaster replied sternly, watching as Houdini was left on the other side of the room, her leg tangled in the sheets as she tried to swim away.

Her hair had fanned out around her, dark and inky as Jack watched in absolute horror, unable to stop anything from happening. Houdini's vitals slowed, a cue for Ginger to prepare the draining system. No one managed to break the mirror, which would have dropped them into a smaller holding room; surprising, given a few of the recruits and their skills.

Jack clenched his fists so hard, his knuckles turned white.

Not again.

He couldn't watch the one he loved fade away - but he couldn't turn from the window. His upper lip twitched and he nearly bit the inside of his cheek off as the water level slowly dropped, Houdini's body floating back down. Jack felt sick to his stomach, watching as the recruits realized she had been drowned, and knowing that they did nothing did not help their case as prospective agents. He would have rushed in and grabbed Laura if he knew Ginger wasn't waiting with the tranquilizer hidden in their watches... instead, he kicked the lone chair across the room, leaving a dent in the wall.

“Fuck!”

"You can meet her in the medical wing," was all Ginger said before leaving the room.

hey angels, i’m kit ! i’m twenty years old and reside in gmt + 1 which is the pits, lemme tell ya. i use she / her pronouns, and i love a song of ice and fire / game of thrones so much, when i saw this rp i pretty much had a heart attack ? anyhow, enough about me ; under the cut you’ll find some brief, less-than-well-phrased ( read: i suck at writing bios ) information on my literal queen, wylla ! feel free to like this or hit me up for plots, but odds are i’ll probably slide into your ims soon enough --- i can’t wait to plot & rp w all of you !

*.:｡ ✧ ( adelaide kane, twenty-two, she / her ) a little bird told me that they have seen wylla targaryen née marbrand roaming the capital, the queen of westeros, and loyal to houses targaryen & marbrand. there have been whispers that they’re determined & adventurous. however, some would say that they’re impulsive & evasive. may the old gods and the new gods be watching over them !

tw for --- death, miscarriage.

alright so ! her father was lord marbrand ( obviously ) & her mom was a manderly --- that is to say, the wealthiest houses of the north and the south united, making them rich af. but their marriage was a loveless one, borne out of duty rather than affection, and lord and lady marbrand mostly played at masked resentment and avoidance

born in casterly rock as the youngest of four siblings, wylla honestly had a charmed-ass youth. she was incurably curious and bright, which also made her break rules and sneak around like a lil shit, definitely got in a lot of trouble. there were times when they just straight-up couldn’t find her for like a week. where was wylla? camping out in the library, or hanging out with the lions that still pace back and forth in the bowels of the castle

lost her sister in a fall from her horse ( sad )

ok so let’s elaborate --- wylla and her sister were less than a year apart in age, and very close. wylla had convinced her to go out of the castle on a ride and things did not go well; her horse broke an ankle and just like that, jeyne marbrand was thrown from her horse and was no more.

so this devestated wylla, but also her mother --- while before they had been quite close, her mother withdrew, to the effect that wylla turned to her father for guidance and approval

except ok, he’s sneaky and only really lookin out to claim glory, plus he’s getting on in years and can hear the clock ticking on him, so he does with her perhaps the most expedient thing that can be done with a daughter

of course, marbrands control casterly rock so they’re terribly wealthy, and the manderlys control white harbor so again, pretty important, which made wylla a pretty damn good candidate for marrying the targaryen king ( or was he still a prince at that point ? we just don’t know .. until we get him in game .. guys )

except wylla is too damn smart for her own good and she knows damn well the place a woman has in this shitty god damned world, so she’s not overjoyed at being sold off like cattle, especially not since the targaryens aren’t known for their mild tempers . like you know how every time a targaryen is born, the gods flip a coin ? yea she’s not diggin those odds

but on the other hand loves her family / house ? believes in honor and wants to do right by her fam so she does her damn best ok

married at 17 which is . late by asoiaf standards tbh but i can’t get behind the whole marrying-at-13 thing i just can’t

honestly she is a gentle soul, who probably would have gotten torn to shreds at court if she hadn’t adapted as effectively as she has---she has her people paid off, spies and guards and servants that keep her apprised of certain situations, and after quite some discussion was even granted a seat on the small council

but she is sof. honestly the more i think about her the more she was definitely made for horseback or the open sea, not a throne --- she’s excitable and a bit of a Romantic ( capital R, lord byron Romantic ) and loves getting lost and being outside and ... was not meant for this, but here she is

thing is, things aren’t going to great now ? it’s been 5 years and she has not yet managed to produce an heir ( she miscarried twice ), spawning rumors / concerns that she is barren , or else that the king has cast her aside . either way it’s not great for her tbh . Big Stress . not to mention she’s downright terrified of like .. dying in childbirth, which wouldn’t be unthinkable

had a super cool idea for a kingsman/statesman-related project delving deeper into that particular universe. kinda would love to make it into an independent project with its own canon and make it a part of the chronicles of erda but honestly? it’s been done a million times before. details under the cut because not everyone wants to read this and that’s okay.

what if–and i’d imagine this being true for the kingsman as well, along with any other independent intelligence agencies that exist–there was a separate, even more guarded branch to deal with threats of a more–supernatural, or occult origin?

in the united states, it’s just called the roanoke society (the people who founded it were extra as fuck, aaannnddd inspired by the work of sir william barrett).

the agents are named after creatures of north american folklore–wendigo, chupacabra, jackalope, gowrow, shit like that. if it weren’t for the fact that they’ve seen these beings before, there’d probably be a lot more teasing (do you know what a wendigo is? answer: the stuff of okie’s nightmares).

they’re trained, to a level, just like the statesman are. initiated the same way–right up until the end. there are usually three candidates left. the other two will think that third one got dismissed for some infraction or failure. spoiler alert: nope. they just got offered a different role. (note that i don’t mean that the statesmen get left with second best, absolutely not; but some people are more open to what one may witness with this job than others–can you imagine tequila or whiskey doing this? no? then my point stands).

from there, their training takes a decidedly different turn, and that will all depend on their individual talents. roanoake training is very much tailored to a specific person’s talents and gifts. they like to keep their squad as diverse and multi-faceted as possible, because when shit like, say, the death of netta fornario, the howden moor incident, business like the pontefract poltergeist–a lot of the topics that the unexplained podcast covers–is happening? we need a disparate team. like you can’t send down a team of people trained exactly the same way to investigate stuff like a heaven’s gate scenario that ends up being much more sinister than it did at first blush or what appears to be another k-219 incident. … well i mean you could. you just really shouldn’t. (bitches take a cue from the x-files).

anyway!

how they’re “decommissioned” is up to them. want your memories wiped? okay. want a new start in a place no one knows you, retaining what you know? okay. you want die? okay. all up to the agent. this society doesn’t fuck around. and unfortunately, most agents aren’t exactly–decommissioned.

i’m just over here creating this entire underbelly society for the statesman culture we know and love. diggin’ it tbh. because now i don’t have to pick between the kingsman canon and the magical realism shit i love–i can have both.

we got witches, we got telekinetics, we got–well. people who could be classified as “abnormal,” i suppose. but we need abnormal. this was an idea absolutely acknowledged by the same powers who sanctioned the creation of the statesman. and here we are.

p. s. if anyone on the kingsman creative board wants to buy this idea from me hmu, because i’d probs only ask for 15g and that’s a lot less than what other people are asking for. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#kingsman #statesman #the golden circle #kingsman: the golden circle #if anyone steals this idea i'll know #don't test me #writing shit #project stuff #writing #unexplained
