Coldflash: Arranged Marriage + Dystopian AU
I am noticing a trend with your prompts lol
Okay so, imma try not to go overboard this time. I'm thinking Dystopian world where people are used as energy. Their lifeforce feeds into things, giving the rich a world beyond dreaming. There are whispers of farm lands that don't use these methods, were metas get to live like normal people, but this are scoffed at. Metas were dangerous before they could be harnessed, and why would you give up such luxoury anyway?
Barry Allen is born to one of this 'backwards' towns, and he's born a matter that sparks energy like it's nothing. It doesn't take long for Eobard, a meta hiding his own energy powers, to hunt the child down and kidnap him. Murdering Nora Allen in the process.
From then on Barry lives as a rich meta in the city, unaware of his true heritage. His energy feeds Eobard's city, giving the man political might and power and for Barry it's... well, it's an okay existence. Eobard rarely violent anymore, now that Barry knows how to control his powers.
Cisco is a major part of the okay part of Barry's existence. The meta son of a very politically powerful family, his powers give him visions and nightmares and the energy isn't nearly as easy to convert as Barry's but, with the right tools, it'd be just as useful. The two are childhood friends and often the only sense of comfort they ever get.
When they're both 20, Eobard announces that they'll be getting married. Barry's not too upset, he always knew Eobard would pick his future spouse and he's not romantically interested but well, at least they're friends, right? Eobard gets the families political ties, and his hands on another meta, and Cisco's family gets a more effective way to harreness his energy. Cisco and Barry agree they could do a lot worse.
And then the rogues show up.
Henry Allen has known Len for years, has none more of the meta fighters for years. He's a trusted name in their circle. And so when Henry asks Len to find his son, Len doesn't even charge the guy. It's not to hard to find Barry, but getting the boy out of Eobard's clutches will be. Barry can't imagine the world Len can promise, he needs to build up trust. A bit easier to do when Cisco figures him out, forces him to reveal his intentions, and then immediately jumps on board.
It's going fairly well, Barry and Len are even starting to fall in love.
It's about then that Eobard starts suspecting something and ramps up the marriage plans - and the reveal of something that will force Barry to stay by his side forever.

I’m starting to feel better over my sister stuff. I just feel like she doesn’t care about using me in the process of getting what she wants, or to show off this unrealistic image people have of her. And I’m sick and tired of her playing the victim and making me feel bad that I take better care of my money, and that she feels entitled to my finances because she mismanaged hers, and tries to guilt me into lending/giving her. She’s 33 years old, chooses not to get her shit together, and takes advantage of the people around her, including her younger sister. But to her it’s ok, as long as she grows her ig followers, and makes people feel she lives a luxourious lifestyle without telling them she actually has to ask her little sister for money. Lol. ok, I just needed to rant a little.

Golden Moon Fanfiction
Helllooooo my sns peeps,
so over the course of a couple of months I got request to continue by fanfic Golden moon. 
SO YES I HEARD YOU AND HERE YOU GO CHAPTER 2 :P 
ps: Let me know if you guys want this as a continuing story on tumblr, like how I have my Kiss never forgotten fanfic :) 
Archive of our own: http://archiveofourown.org/works/11828553/chapters/26694429
Fanfiction.net: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12617644/1/Golden-Moon-The-Story
Summary: Naruto a millionaire entrepreneur in the fashion industry, meets Sasuke a waiter at a luxourious bar in odd circumstances and now cant seem to get this hypnotizing man out of his brain, he has never wanted anyone ever, but for some reason he needs to know everything about Sasuke.
But sometimes this fairy tail facade you have of people can be ruined by the fact that this isnt fiction but real life and real life can sometimes be a bitch.
Author notes:  
 -Golden Moon will now be a full story, due to high demand from a few lovely people who asked.
-The first one shot Golden Moon will be seperate to this, even though obviously the first chapter will remian the same. This is due to the fact that I want to keep the first chapter seperate encase people who read the one shot liked the fluff nature and also liked creating thier own story in thier head about what might have happened afterwards. This continuation will be a full story, so I wanted to include angst, because I live on angst like a vampire, so I didnt want people to be sad that maybe there fluffy version in thier heads were ruined by how I wanted to do to this story. Hence why I am making another version of Golden Moon called Golden Moon the story.
-OBVIOUSLY ITS MALE/MALE so please dont come yell at me for that.
- It is Multi-relationship, so the main characters will be/have other relationships or experiences things with other characters, so please dont bite me that this isnt fully sns.
-Besides that have fun reading! comments/criticism is always welcome, in a nice nature please, I am a delicate person :S.

I was first introduced to Shifa Aromas through receiving one of their beautiful smelling and looking Summer Dreams scented tin candles in a recent Juliah box. It has to be my favourite candle I’ve ever received in a subscription box; so, when Shifa Aromas put a call out on their Instagram account asking for bloggers to review some of their products, I jumped at the chance. I was really excited to find out that I was one of the lucky bloggers chosen to receive a blogger review box containing a selection of their products.
Before I get onto the products I received in my blogger box, let me tell you a little bit about this wonderful brand and the people behind it. Shifa Aromas is a family run business who produce lovingly hand-made, hand-poured home fragrances in Yorkshire. All of their products are vegan friendly and paraben free, and their candle’s and wax melts are all made from eco-friendly soy wax. The addition of natural botanicals to their products enhances both the scent and look of each and every piece. Throughout all of my communications with the lovely Jabar and Nabeesa at Shifa Aromas, their passion for their products has shone through. I personally love buying from artisan UK producers and sellers, as in my experience they are passionate about their products and have excellent customer service.
Shifa Aromas currently produce and sell 10 different scent collections. Each of these ‘lifestyle’ collections have their own wellbeing symbol, to help you select the right product for the atmosphere that you wish to create. There is a lifestyle collection for everything from “time to de-stress to “time to re-energize”, so you can be sure that you’ll be able to find the perfect collection for you.
I unboxed this live on the BoXession Facebook Group, which can now be viewed on our YouTube Channel…
  What was in my Box?
Jabar and Nabeesa were kind enough to send me three different products from three of the different lifestyle collections available; to enable me to experience what their products are all about and tell you all about them.
I can’t help but start by telling you about my favourite item that I received to review. It’s their Essentials Range 200g Tin Soy Wax Candles, in Sufi Garden fragrance. Sufi Garden has the wellbeing symbol “Time to Love”, which couldn’t be more apt for this scent. Think dark autumn and winter evenings when the weather outside is cold and unwelcoming, and all you want to do is snuggle up inside with your favourite jumper or blanket, hiding away from the worries of the world and spending time with your loved ones. If that sounds like your idea of heaven, this is the scent for you; it’s a warming spicy and fruity fragrance which makes you feel like it’s giving you a big hug. As with all of the scents that I’ve experienced from Shifa Aromas, Sufi Garden has a real depth to it, you can smell all of the different scent notes coming through from the fruity floral top notes, through the spicy warming middle notes, right down to the sweet end notes.
If this scent had been presented in a rusty old bean can I would still love it; however, every detail of this candle is gorgeous. It’s presented in a tin with luxury looking labelling that tells you all you could need to know about the product, whilst still being something you’d be proud to display in your home or present as a gift. I really love that Shifa Aroma’s tin candles have a clear Perspex window in their lids, so the candle stays protected and dust free whilst not in use, but you can still see the beautiful candle inside. All of Shifa Aromas candles are lovingly sprinkled by hand with beautiful dried flower petals, which continue to make the candle look gorgeous even after you start burning it.
  The Essentials Range 200g Tin Soy Wax Candles in any of the lifestyle collection scents retail at £11, which I think is more than value for money when you consider that it has an up to 30 hours burn time.
Without a doubt I’ll be buying more items from Shifa Aromas in the Sufi Garden fragrance. I’d love to try one of the eco-reed diffusers they produce and sell in this scent.
The next item I received was an Essentials Range 100g Tin Soy Wax Candle from the Persian Chai lifestyle collection. The wellbeing symbol for this is “Time to Destress”. There’s something so familiar and comforting about this scent, but I can’t pin it down. Top notes including violet, jasmine and rose give it a full bodied floral scent, which is balanced perfectly through the middle fruity notes of mandarin and a deep luxurious base of musk. If this doesn’t sound luxourious enough the candle is also infused with Persian tea rose petals, marigold petals and frankincense resin crystals. This floral and musky scent wouldn’t be out of place in a posh spa, so it’s perfect for pamper evenings at home while relaxing with a face mask on. It would also be perfect to light after a stressful day at work, to allow you to relax and the stresses of the day to float away. As with the larger tin candles the quality and care that has been taken over producing this candle is clear to see, the only difference between them is the size. Although it is smaller it still has an amazing burn time in relation to its price. This bargain £6.50 artisan candle has a burn time of up to 15 hours.
Last and definitely not least in my box was a box of 6 Artisan Wax Melts from the Moroccan Nights Lifestyle Collection. The wellbeing symbol for this collection is “Time to Connect”. Initially on smelling these cute little wax cubes infused with sitare oudh and orange blossom flower petals, I was surprised how subtle the scent was. Over the years I’ve tried wax melts from a number of different companies, and the fragrance are usually quite in your face when you sniff them before melting, and I’ve also found they can make the room that the burner is in have significantly more fragrance than anywhere else in the house. Because of this, my husband isn’t a great fan of me using wax melts as he doesn’t like overpowering home fragrances. These melts however were quite the opposite, and as their wellbeing symbol implies helped us to connect. Within a relatively short period of time of burning them, my entire home was filled with a beautifully soft and comforting balanced floral, fruity and musky scent. They are literally the only wax melts I’ve used where my husband hasn’t turned off the burner after fifteen minutes. The first time I used them was when I was cooking dinner, which happened to be fish, and afterwards I noticed that rather than covering up the cooking smells, they had completely eliminated them. This isn’t an advertised property of the melts, but I’ll definitely be using it for that in the future. As with the other products I’ve tested out for Shifa Aromas, the wax melts are brilliant value for money at £7 per pack of 6. With a burn time of up to 10-12 hour each that’s an impressive up to 60-72 hours just from one box.
In addition to the items I received in my blogger box, Shifa Aromas produce and sell luxury glass soy wax candles, eco-friendly reed fragrance diffusers, and refills for their reed diffusers.
I consider myself quite picky when it comes to fragrances, as I can’t stand scents that aren’t well balanced; however out of the four fragrance collections I’ve now tried from Shifa Aromas, there hasn’t been one that I wouldn’t be happy for my home to smell like. These artisan products are high quality, eco-friendly and beautifully presented, so will make perfect presents. With Christmas coming, who doesn’t want a beautifully smelling home? The only thing missing from their product range is a perfume, I’d be in heaven if I could smell like Summer Dreams or Sufi Garden all day long.
If Shifa Aromas products weren’t good enough value as it is, you can save 20% off your first order by signing up to their online newsletter via their website. There is additionally free delivery if you place an order over £25.
If you’re looking for a gift for your home, or anyone you know, you can’t go far wrong by buying from this lovely family run UK small business. Head over to their website https://www.shifaromas.com/ to order online, or discover if there is a stockist local to you.

Another defining moment for me is when I first started listening to Jay Z. Me being born in 97 Jay Z had already been estableshing himself as a artist by then he had already had 3 albums out I was pretty far behind once I grew up and started to get into music more. By the time I started to listen to music and appreciate hip hop I already knew a couple Jay Z songs from my childhood memory so once I started listening again it sounded familiar but too modern this was around 07-08. But thanks to the internet I had no probably going back and hearing what I missed so I went back and listened to all his albums Reasonable Doubt, Vol 1, Vol 2 which is my favorite, Vol 3, The Dynasty, up to Blueprint. Going back and listening to him at a young aflge I can see how he has changed and grown as an artist. In his past he would rap alot about drug dealing living a lifestyle I couldnt imagine at the time. Spending money buying luxourious things, drinking champagne and partying with women all day. But how Jay Z would put it in his verses and deliver it to you was far different from how anybody else has done it and every so often you would get an introspective Jay Z to teach a life lesson or to let you know something different about him you didnt know before. Jay Z is known as the greatest rapper of all time, rightfully so he not only managed to stay relevant with rapping since mid 90s but was able to venture out into other things so listening him rap about his struggles and how it lead to his success his motivational and defining moment in music for me.
