her eyebrows raised, a somewhat cold expression was replaced with her typical lighthearted facade. the last time her sister’s husband communicated with her was in school, moments she wished she did not  have to relive. andromeda recalled the moments she called muggleborns mudbloods (  and she found it ironic. she was married to one, befriended several, and she congratulated herself for her growth.  )  his venomous tone was one she wasn’t a stranger to, she’s heard it all before. arms crossed, soon shifting to a defensive position. 

❛     i will do as i please, lucius. does it bother you so much that i have asked a question ?      ❜

she hated using a tone as such, but it was for defense. nothing more, nothing less.

lucius malfoy sent in     :     ❛     don’t  ask  me  where  i’ve  been .      ❜

“The Nanny” Chapter 33: Cleansing

           “I am honored that you chose me,” Cecilia Vidrio said, pressing her hand to her chest as she smiled. “Though I’m still in a state of disbelief.”

           Regina smiled as she motioned to the drawings in front of her. “We were very pleased with your ideas for the nursery and we have the utmost confidence in your work.”

           “We’ll pay for whatever you need and you’ll work with little interference from us,” Robin promised.

           “Just the occasional check in, just to make sure you’re okay and to see if you want or need anything,” Regina clarified.

           Cecilia nodded, her dark curls bouncing in her ponytail as she studied their offer. She appeared to still be shocked that they had chosen her, which Regina understood. This meant more than just one job for her. If Robin and Regina appreciated her work, they would then tell other people about it and recommend her for other jobs. They could also possibly support her work, including possibly being a patron. Cecilia’s life certainly was about to change.

           After spending the last hour talking with her and getting a better feel for her style as well as her, Regina was certain it couldn’t happen to a nicer person.

           “Is there anything you need from us?” Robin asked her.

           Cecilia studied the paperwork they had given her, looking a bit lost. “I don’t…I don’t know. It’s all so much.”

           Regina smiled, taking her hand. “That’s okay. You can go home and look everything over, process it. Then if you have any questions, you can always call us back.”

           “That sounds good,” she replied, starting to stand. “Thank you again. I really appreciate this opportunity.”

           Robin stood as well though Regina had to remain seated, knowing that if she tried to stand, they would be waiting for a long time. She leaned over the table as she shook Cecilia’s hand before watching as Robin escorted her to the door. “We look forward to seeing your final product. Both Regina and I know you will create an amazing nursery for our twins,” he told her.

           “I will,” Cecilia promised. She then waved at Regina before exiting the office.

           “I like her,” Regina said, rubbing her stomach. The twins were asleep, giving her a break from their kicks. “She’s got a good energy and her drawings were absolutely beautiful.”

           She picked up the drawing that had first fascinated her several weeks ago, the beautiful rendition of Cinderella in watercolor. The whimsy and bright colors were going to be perfect for their nursery. Regina couldn’t wait to see it when it was done.

           Robin sat down next to her, admiring the painting as well. He then kissed her cheek. “Are you and the Beans hungry? How about we go get something to eat?”

           “That sounds perfect,” she said, reaching her hand out. “Care to give me a lift? Otherwise, we’ll be getting dinner by the time I stand.”

           He chuckled, standing up as he took her hand. Robin was a strong support as he helped her lift herself to her feet before pulling her into his embrace. “I’m always willing to give you a hand.”

           “Thank you,” she said, hugging him back.

           Robin wrapped his arm around her shoulders, guiding her toward the door. “So, where do you want to go? Granny’s?”

           She shook her head, feeling in the mood for something her beloved eatery didn’t offer. After all, there were only so many BLTs a person could eat. “I actually want Italian. Can we go to Tony’s?”

           “Of course we can,” he said, opening the door for her. “I just need to make one stop and then we’ll head straight to the restaurant.”

           “That’s fine,” she said. “Emma and Killian are entertaining Roland for us once Mary Margaret leaves. We have all the time in the world.”

           He nodded, stopping as they passed Johanna’s desk. “I’m taking Regina to lunch. I’ll be back in an hour or two.”

           “I’ll hold your calls,” she said, smiling at them. “Have a good time, you two. And it’s nice to see you again, Regina.”

           “You too,” Regina replied, getting on the elevator with Robin. He pressed one of the buttons and the doors closed as he pulled her close to him.

           She giggled, playing with his tie. “Someone’s in a mood.”

           “I am,” he replied, giving her a coy smile. “Maybe I’ll call out after lunch and we can go have dessert at home.”

           “Are you dessert?” she asked, her mind already flashing to the two of them in bed.

           He leaned forward, pressing his forehead against hers. “I’m hoping so.”

           The doors dinged as they opened, letting them out on a floor lined with cubicles. He took her hand and they walked down the hallway. She glanced around, noticing signs regarding accounting practices as well as posters with finance jokes. The clicking of calculators echoed around them and she smiled. “Is this the finance department?”

           “Yes, it is,” he replied before pausing. He grew hesitant. “Are you okay being here? Do you want to wait somewhere else?”

           She chuckled, shaking her head though she was touched he was worried about her. “I’m fine. It’s actually comforting to be back in a finance department. I’ve missed it.”

           “Do you think you’ll want to go back to finance?” he asked, wrapping his arm around her again as they resumed their stroll between the cubicles.

           “I think so,” she said, thinking of the catalogue she hadn’t yet shown him. She was still weighing all her options.

           “You think you’ll miss taking care of kids?” he asked.

           She chuckled, rubbing her stomach as one of the Beans kicked her. “I’m not stopping. I’m just now a mother rather than a nanny.”

           He kissed her forehead. “You’re an amazing mother. And no matter what you do career-wise, you’ll have my support.”

           “Thank you,” she said as they stopped outside an office. She noticed the name on the door said Elinor dun Broch and figured she knew what the conversation was about. “You’re offering her the job?”

           “We already offered her the job. She’s already accepted. I just wanted to stop by and congratulate her,” he explained. “Everything is going to happen really fast from what I understand.”

           “What about her children? Are her sons okay with moving halfway through the school year?” she asked.

           He glanced at the door before lowering his voice. “From what I understand, she’s going to split her time between here and California until they graduate. They’re staying with some family while she’s gone.”

           “I don’t know if I could do that,” Regina replied, trying to imagine being away from her children for such long periods of time.

           Robin rubbed her arms, giving her a soft smile. “Everyone is different and different plans work for them. Hopefully we never have to face that scenario but if we do, I know we’d figure out what’s best for our family and ourselves.”

           She smiled now, loving how he was able to comfort her. Regina hugged him, though her stomach kept her from getting as close as she would’ve like. “Thank you.”

           “You’re welcome.” He pulled back and grasped the handle. Before turning it, he smiled at her. “I’ll only be a moment. There’s some chairs nearby if you need to sit though.”

           He disappeared into Elinor’s office as she waddled down to the chairs. Sinking into one, she sighed as she rubbed her stomach. Both twins kicked at her and she smiled. “Your papa will back soon, little ones. And then we’ll get you some food.”

           She leaned back against the seatback, still thinking about Elinor and her decision to split her time between the two coasts. Despite Robin’s reassurances, she still couldn’t help but wonder what she would do in such a situation. Regina knew what she was like as a nanny but she was still trying to figure out who she was as a mother. She called herself Roland’s mother but it still felt as if she were responding to him as his nanny than his mother, that she hadn’t changed anything. But she didn’t think she would respond to the twins the same way. Or maybe there was no difference between how she nannied and how she would mother. Maybe she had always just been treating Grace and Roland like her children.

           All Regina knew was that she wouldn’t be able to tell until the twins were out of her womb and in her arms.

           She glanced around at the table next to her and noticed that there were some job postings resting there next to a table tent that read Share with your family, friends and colleagues! Regina picked a couple up, looking them over. They certainly looked right up her alley, especially as she was looking to get back into finance. She was hesitant to join another company after Blanchard Financials but Sherwood was nothing like that place, so she knew she would enjoy working here if she so chose. While part of her wanted to get a job on her own merits and not because she was dating the CEO, she believed her experience and talent would speak louder than her connection to Robin. He wouldn’t be her direct supervisor either and while he technically would be paying her again, it would be for business work rather than to be his girlfriend and the mother of his children. It all seemed like a win-win scenario to her.

           However, her due date was fast approaching and Dr. Ludgate had warned her that she would most likely go into labor early. Regina didn’t know if it would be fair to apply for a job she might not be able to take just yet or one she would start and then go out on leave. Perhaps it was best to take some of the courses Storybrooke University offered online, have her twins and then re-evaluate where she was once they were a few months old. Glancing over the jobs, she figured there would always be openings at Sherwood—she had no reason to rush.

           “I really wish you the best of luck, Elinor,” Robin said, stepping out of the office. “Our loss is the West Coast’s gain though.”

           Regina folded up the job postings and put them in her purse as he approached her. He smiled, holding out his hand. “Ready to go?”

           She smiled, taking his hand. “Yes, I am. So are the twins. We are all hungry.”

           “That won’t do,” he replied, helping her up. “We need to rectify that immediately.”

           They laced their fingers together as they headed back to the elevator. Regina glanced around the different cubicles and offices on the floor, knowing one day she would report there as well. She was certain of it.

Writer ask: 1,2 and 33

Hello!

1. Favourite place to write

Everywhere, kinda? On the couch after waking up in the morning before I fully open my eyes, on my way from the living room to the kitchen, on the underground, on a fag break at work... everywhere lol

2. Favourite part of writing

I love the planning stage so much! Having an inspiration for an AU, talking about it with a friend, bouncing ideas, hashing out the vague plot, planning the chapters step by step then writing one after the other.

33. Do you listen to music when you're writing?

Not consciously. When I'm writing on my way to work I'm wearing my headphones but the music totally fades to background noise when I'm concentrated on writing. I write best with background noise tho, so mostly I write while watching beloved, oft-seen series. At the moment I'm writing while watching The Nanny :)

Thank you for the ask! 🥰

Mary Poppins Returns spoilers

So I got out of Mary Poppins Returns about an hour ago and it was fucking amazing.

I couldn’t stop crying, and then I couldn’t stop smiling. The whole feel of it was the perfect blend of old-timey Broadway and modern music (and yes, Lin got to Hamilton). Because the pacing and even some of the scenes were very similar to the original, it was at risk of seeming like a remake, but they pulled it off brilliantly--it felt much more of a respectful homage to the 1964 classic than a copy.

Like I said before, the big Broadway numbers had an amazing throwback feel with a modern twist. Each song was fresh and original, but I could immediately tell what 1964 song it was a nod to. My favorite was definitely the leery song (obviously inspired by “Step in Time”), followed by “A Cover is not the Book” (“Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”) in the animated sequences--I’ll get to that later. Will the songs become as iconic and unforgettable as “A Spoonful of Sugar” or “Let’s Go Fly a Kite”? Of course not. Nowhere close. But they are fun and upbeat, and even if you aren’t humming any of the songs on your way out of the theater, I dare you to keep your feet still during the film.

Let’s get to the casting choices (practically perfect in every way). Emily Blunt played the impeccably posh nanny to a T, but let’s talk about her voice. Don’t get me wrong: she has a beautiful, full, rich sound. But the songwriters took her deep alto and tried to stuff it into Julie Andrews’s soprano range. She was brilliant during the musical numbers, but something was lacking. If they had only taken her songs and dropped them three or four keys, she would have been able to utilize her gorgeous deep voice instead of having to lighten it in order to sing in the mezzo-soprano range she was given. (They lowered it a little, I’ll give them that. And I’m a songwriter myself: I know how important it is that a piece be performed in the perfect key. But give me a fucking break. They were trying to make her into a carbon copy of Julie Andrews and they know it.) Apart from the music, she took the iconic character and made her completely her own. But there was no doubt in my mind: that was most assuredly Mary Poppins on the IMAX screen in front of me.

Now we get to gush over Lin-Manuel Miranda as Jack. I really don’t have very much to say about the most perfect human being on the planet: he speaks for himself. His singing and rapping were impeccable, as always, and the 1930s costuming and heavy stubble? I wanna ride that like a pogo stick. But I digress. I was hoping for a nod to Dick van Dyke’s over-the-top Cockney accent, but I was afraid it might become cartoonish. It didn’t. It was overdone and exaggerated, but only as much as it needed to be as a tribute to Bert and didn’t go overboard. Jack is the little boy that never quite grew up, who kept that childish belief in his heart and refused to let go.

On to Emily Mortimer as Jane Banks all grown up. A career woman during the Great Depression, she is following in her mother’s footsteps, working as a labor activist and humanitarian heading up her local soup kitchen. She has her own flat and makes it quite clear to Jack as their romance is budding that she can hold her own quite nicely, thank you very much.

Ben Whishaw is one of my favorite actors, and he absolutely nailed grown-up Michael. I just wanted to cuddle him and tell him it was going to be okay. He played a sad, broken, lonely man just barely holding it together for his children better than almost anyone I have ever seen (and let’s be real--sad, broken, lonely man just barely holding it together for his children is a pretty common character). He recaptures the wonders of childhood as soon as he feels the balloon in his hand, showing just how much of a scared little boy he truly was inside.

I also want to talk about the relationship between Jane and Michael. Those of you who know me well know that I love seeing healthy, loving sibling relationships portrayed on screen. Even in the 1964, there was a gender role reversal (naturally coming from Jane being older, of course) that continues into the sequel. Jane remains the big sister and supports Michael so much and has become a sort of surrogate mother to his children in the wake of his wife’s death. And they’re just so affectionate. Little touches, hugs, kisses--I absolutely love this healthy, supportive relationship being shown unquestioned.

We need to talk about the kids. Nathanael Saleh (John), Pixie Davies (Annabelle), and Joel Dawson (Georgie) were all amazing little actors, and fucking adorable to boot. Their singing was impeccable, their dancing flawless. They are all destined for great roles in the future.

Now that I’ve discussed the main cast, I can get on the most important cast members, the ones who make you gasp and chuckle and go “Oh, them!” We had the bird lady. If you don’t the story behind the most-skipped scene of my childhood, google it. (I would add a link but Tumblr hates everything and everybody right now so I’m not gonna bother.) There was just a blip of her on the church steps, but she’s unmistakable. Karen Dotrice, who played the original Jane Banks, had a fun little cameo (if you didn’t notice it, go back and rewatch it; snitches get stitches). Angela Lansbury had a small role as the balloon lady from the books, and Admiral Boom is keeping time as always. Jane and Michael’s original toys can be seen in the corner of the attic, the mirror is just as cheeky, the umbrella won’t shut up, and the banister is as good an escalator as ever.

And of course, Dick van Dyke is brilliant as Dawes, Jr., the son of one of his 1964 characters (although he may have needed a little less makeup this time around). The man is fucking 93, but he might as well be 33. His dancing is as lively as ever, and no one could ever match the insane way he slipped completely back into character after 54 years.

Although some have criticized the plot as being a cheap rip-off of the original, I think it held its own as a beautiful tribute to one of the most beloved films of all time. It stayed just close enough to the classic to bring viewers back to the time they first watched it as children but strayed far enough to feel fresh and updated for the now-adult fans. I only have one major complaint about content, and that was during one of the last scenes, where Dawes, Jr. is firing his nephew (played by Colin Firth). Fans remember vividly the scene in the original when upon being fired, George Banks’s carnation is ripped to pieces, his collar torn off, and his hat punched through. I was looking forward to it as soon as it became apparent the nephew would be fired. And it? Just? Didn’t happen? But that was my only major concern. (My friend is pissed that Mary came in on the kite instead of her umbrella, but Jesus man, pick your battles.)

The animation scene was an absolute triumph. Instead of using a modern 3D animation style, they reverted to the old hand-drawn animations (think Robin Hood 1973). The penguins are back with a bang, no kazoos this time, unfortunately, but they finally have their own show under the big top. The costuming was brilliant: the clothes were not animated, but unlike the 1964 costumes, it appears that layers and texture had been drawn on the clothes to make them appear animated. The scene is meant to show the children how much they fear losing their home, and the animated wolf, badger, and weasel reflect the chairman of FFB and his lawyers. The children have quite the adventure, including a kidnapping, only to wake up and discover that it had all been a nightmare. But how could three different children possibly have the same dream at the same time? Mary Poppins will never tell

This film was for those who grew up with the original. At its core, it is about being able to recapture the childlike wonder and perspective on life that it is so easy to forget as we become more and more jaded towards humanity and the world. It is about forgetting, for just a moment, the everyday grind of existence, and once again believing in something magical and trying to change the world.
