#villanelle pack

[cyramountain]

most of the time, most days, I feel nothing. I don't feel anything. It's so boring. I wake up and I think, again, really? do I have to do this again? And what I really don't understand is how come everyone else isn't screaming with boredom too?

Tedromeda Rec List

I put together a Tedromeda rec list for an anon ask of @spindrifters, and I figured it ought to be its own post! I like messy, imperfect, bordering on toxic Tedromeda, and I especially love lesbian!Tedromeda so if those are not your things you may not vibe with this rec list and that's ok! But if they are -

Turncoat: in defense of andromeda tonks nee black, @ink-splotch (8.3k) 

“When her little cousin Sirius got disowned too, years later, Andromeda sent him a fruit basket.”

This fic was so big and so brilliant and the world building is so excellent. It made me cry. I had to triple check the word count in putting it here because it seems so much longer because it’s just so rich with life and detail. 

War, or Peace, or Whatever This Is, Slyboots (7.6k) 

“Fall in line, that’s the way, and never mind who gives the orders. Carrying on, that’s the British national sport.”In the aftermath of the Fall of the Ministry of Magic, Andromeda Tonks does what little good she can.”

I love a war time fic with complicated world building and no good choices. Really brilliant fic. The sharp, fast moving pace adds to the paranoid anything-can-happen-at-any-moment feeling of a coup.

In Memoriam, Bitterfic on LiveJournal (6k)

“When he was young, brash, he had said that the Muggle-born were as good as any purebloods, yet he had never doubted that Andromeda Black was infinitely superior to him. Even after twenty-five years of marriage, he never thought of her by his name, as Andromeda Tonks. She was to him always Andromeda Black whose voice cut through the darkness that night in the Forbidden Forest.” (cw: sexual assault, suicidal ideation) 

A brilliant haunting little fic from my favorite LJ writer from wayyy back in the day. Ted Tonks POV

Andromeda Liberata (133k+ WIP) (lesbian Tedromeda) 

“In which Andromeda Black cruelly betrays her sisters and sets in motion the total destruction of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black because she fell in love with a lesbian muggleborn.”

While it might be tacky to put your own fic in a rec list,  I’m quite proud of it :)

i don’t forgive you (but please don’t hold me to it) by evawrites (10k, T) (lesbian Tedromeda)

For Andromeda, the choice is not between the Dark and the Light. It’s not between Headmaster Dumbledore and the Dark Lord, not between Teddy’s family and her own. Instead, it’s between Bella and Teddy. Foolishly, Andromeda prays she’ll get to keep both.(She gets to keep neither.)

Dark and haunting and the contrast between Bellatrix and Ted is so well set up.

history books forgot about us by spindrifters (25k, E)

Andromeda Black meets Ted Tonks quite by accident, and it’s something like mischief at first sight. From the lost papers and mixed-up files of the marginalia universe, the complete history of a relationship that was never meant to happen.

This canon-divergent universe is everything, and these two recklessly in love kids are everything to me!

wherefore/evermore by @leftsidedown (150 words, T)

continuing the Great Literary Tradition of mad women writing villanelles

A poem!!

-

And then some Andromeda-centric fic where Tedromeda is important but it's not really a shippy fic:

not like the rest of them by unspeakable3 (11k, T)

Sirius has recently followed in Andromeda's footsteps and emancipated himself from their family. This afternoon, the two cousins will reunite - and see each other for the first time in four years. Andromeda is nervous. Sirius is nervous. There is a lot they need to say to each other.

Imperfect runaways!!

we were sisters once (we have another love now) by Nefaria_Black (3k, T)

Dora is six and few things are more exciting than a day spent in Diagon Alley. Even if the street is packed with people. Even if she’s separated from her parents by the crowd Because Mother is easy enough to find, isn’t she?

Haunting fairytale vibes

The Waves by nanneramma (3k, M)

Andromeda is not sure if she got it right. But she tried.

Gorgeous canon-compliant character study

-

And for those who like some Blackcest with their Tedromeda:

Clip, Ravel, Cleave by @vdoshu (15k, E)

Before Andromeda met Ted, she was a Black, through and through. While years later the story was told that she’d turned her back on her family’s dark ways, in truth, nothing was so simple.In the beginning, it was just Andromeda and Bella. And it was just the two of them until it was too much.

An all-time favorite featuring Andromeda and Ted meeting after Hogwarts and dark magic addiction and all sorts of dark goodness

Killing Eve Remix

I have edited an 11 episode remix of Killing Eve S3 and S4, where it’s (mostly) S3 Villanelle with (mostly) S4 Eve.

I planned it all out so that it narratively makes more sense than what the later showrunners gave us.

All episodes have been uploaded to [this gd folder].

3x01 Management Sucks 3x02 Smell Me 3x03 Don’t Get Eaten 3x04 A Rainbow in Beige Boots 3x05 Up For A Game 3x06 Truth Or Dare 3x07 (Beep Beep) Wanna Ride? 3x08 Shove That in Your Fanny Pack and Eat It 3x09 She’s Gone and Unbelievably I Survived 3x10 It’s Always Been Mine 3x11 Are You Leading or Am I?

#killing eve #killingeveedit #eve polastri #villanelle #eve x villanelle #evepolastriedit #villanelleedit #ke remix #all eps are up #so pls let me know what you think #finishing this made me emotional again #i am so grateful to this show and fandom #i cannot thank you enough for the past 4 years

[samsdawn]

Something I love about the portrayal of Villanelle is that she's (as said so in the show) an extremely fit , strong , beautiful woman . But you know what we never see on her ? No 6 pack , no stupidly ripped body, nothing that's false advertising on what has to be fit.

We see here that we have the beloved Jodie comer and yes she is in great shape and beautiful in every way , there simply is no sign of this false societys idea of what a ' fit ' person should look like. She has some muscle on the arms and has toned features but her stomach isnt completely flat with muscle showing through, she doesn't have a crazy tiny waist , she does have some skin fold over her trousers , her body isnt pushed over the top. And I love it because too often we are forced to see these people who have this ' perfect fit ' body in film and tv but it's not actually at all. Villanelle is the perfect example of someone who's this beautiful in great shape assassin but isn't shown to conform to society's belief of what a fit body should be.

This is what we should be doing more often with our leads , stop giving characters a false idea of what an in shape body has to be. Even if I love these characters if we think to stuff like tomb raider , any marvel show , star wars ect it's all the same. And although if you do have this body that's awesome , but it's not the only show of a fit body. I'm glad Villanelle breaks this idea.

Basically thank you for letting Villanelle be an icon and not using her to spread a bad message on what bodies should or shouldn't be

Jess Watches // Sat 20 Apr // Day 206 Synopses & Favourite Scenes & Poll

Moving (with L) Ep 20 Graduation Day (Finale)

Parents and children fight to protect each other. Will this repeated war ever end?

I adored that we actually got to see the aftermath of all the fighting. That all the mains are alive and thriving and living their lives more peacefully. I think eps 1-7 focusing on the teens should've aired alternatively with 8-14 focusing on the adults (eg. 1, 8, 2, 9) to intertwine both timelines to help maximize the effectiveness of the overall story. But otherwise I really enjoyed this. I'll miss these characters I've become rather fond of <3

Star Trek: Prodigy 1x11 Asylum

At the edge of Federation space, the crew applies for asylum at a comm relay outpost, only for their starship to reveal its shocking true purpose.

Rok sure was one confused lady trying to do all those scientific equations quickly before they got blasted. She did amazingly well under pressure. I know off-screen they gave her the squishiest group hug.

Killing Eve (Remix) [x] 3x08 Shove That in Your Fanny Pack and Eat it

3x07 - Villanelle and Dasha travel to Aberdeen to kill an American businessman at a golf country club. V hits Dasha over the head with a golf club and leaves her for dead. Eve tracks V's credit card and kills Dasha by standing on her chest. As V's train leaves, she looks out the window to see Eve on the platform. She calls Eve.

V with a hoarse Scottish accent (because Jodie had a cold) paired with her Grinch-inspired outfit is still an iconic V look. And Eve being so determined in her pursuit, that single-minded focus on finding V, that release of fully embracing her darkness and killing Dasha. Also, I ended with V going to see Gunn from 406 as it fit nicely here as she was already in Scotland.

Chapter Two ⋆ The Hero Moment Part One

read it on AO3 ( x ) or wattpad ( x )

It had been a while since Oz found himself in the principal's office. He couldn't say that he'd missed it all that much.

"You two…" principal Higgins was cleaning his glasses for the third time in five minutes, eyes focused down in his lap. "Why is it always you two?"

Oz was clutching the ice pack against his jaw, sending a sharp look towards Eddie instead of answering. Higgins wasn't wrong—whenever there was a fight in the cafeteria, Oz and Eddie had always been involved in some way. But not like this. Eddie had never punched Oz before.

OC HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE › day five: sci-fi horror

AU in which Esme is captured by Theo for the Dread Doctors, Stiles and the pack manage to save her but despite the fact she remembers nothing, they were too late to stop the experiments. After running into Theo, Esme discovers why she’s been starving and no meal has been able to sate her.

2022 Emmys Preview: Handicapping the Drama Categories (Primetimer).

Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series

Jodie Comer as Villanelle on Killing Eve

Laura Linney as Wendy Byrde on Ozark

Melanie Lynskey as Shauna Sadecki on Yellowjackets

Sandra Oh as Eve Polastri on Killing Eve

Reese Witherspoon as Bradley Jackson on The Morning Show

Zendaya as Rue Bennett on Euphoria

The Frontrunner: Honestly? This race is incredibly wide open. Last year's winner was Olivia Colman for The Crown, so that can't happen again. The year before, the trophy went to Zendaya in a shocking turn of events that places her at the head of the pack this season — especially with Euphoria showing up even stronger in its overall nomination tally for its second season.

The Likeliest Spoiler: Here's where things get very interesting,. The only nominee we can probably count out is Witherspoon, since even Morning Show fans are puzzled why she got nominated over co-star Jennifer Aniston. Elsewhere, this is Laura Linney's last chance to win an Emmy for Ozark (although she's won four times for other projects.) Killing Eve ended on a bum note for many fans, making the nominations for Comer and Oh somewhat surprising, but the Emmys have been in love with that show long past the point when it fell out of favor with critics, so don't count out a last-gasp win for either actress. The most likely spoiler — bordering on co-favorite with Zendaya — might be Melanie Lynskey, who won the Critics Choice Award in this category earlier this year and gave a tremendously endearing speech that might have Emmy voters looking for a repeat.

The Feel-Good Long-Shot: Perhaps the biggest feel-good win in this field would be Sandra Oh, who is now on her 10th Emmy nomination for acting, without ever having won. Although she'll likely have plenty more chances to vie for a trophy, this is her last hurrah as Eve Polastri, the role for which she was widely expected to win back in 2019. (Her Killing Eve co-star Jodie Comer won instead.)

Stat to Chew On: None of this year's six nominees were nominated last year, marking the first time there's been zero carry-over from one year to the next in this category since way back in 1965. (The Emmys radically changed format that year, with only one category for performances across all genres and formats.)

Prediction: This one is a real toss-up and could go in any direction, but I'm putting my chips on Melanie Lynskey to walk away an Emmy winner.

Maia had to laugh that her name in Māori meant “one who has unconditional love” because she seemed to have anything but.  She barely knew her parents.  Her father she had no memory of but her mother has somehow fleeted into her memories despite not ever really being there for her.  When she was young she never understood why her mother would leave her at friends and “family”, always being gone for days or weeks or months at a time.  But she came back, Maia was sure she would always come back because isn’t that what mothers are supposed to do?  

Maia was young and naïve, always sitting at the front window waiting for her to pull into the drive way.  But it got longer and longer and the adults she was staying with knew long before Maia did that Kora just simply wasn’t coming back.  And frankly, the people she were with didn’t care about Maia so they packed her up and sent her to foster care at just seven years old.  She still had hope that her mother was going to come and pluck her out of the strangers’ houses just like a fairytale or any story with a happy ending, but a happy ending didn’t come.  Or at least that one.

After jumping from home to home - some were bad, others were worse - Maia finally met a family that truly seemed to care about her.  So Maia was brought to Annesburg surrounded by other kids and she had a life that she was always supposed to have.  She was always one of the first kids to interact and make new children feel welcome in the household and she was always good at charming people.  Growing up she never really put two and two together but she now knows that her charm is one of the few gifts that Kora ever gave her.

Growing up Maia was always encouraged to tap into her artistic potential.  At first it showed itself in baking and decorating said treats she made.  It was another way for her to get to know others and soon she realized just how much she wanted to make a career out of it.  She immediately became friendly with Nuraliye and eventually gained the courage to ask for an apprenticeship at Puggy’s Cakes.  Maia was doing what she loved but eventually she started to feel an itch to do something else, so she picked up painting.

Painting also seemed to come naturally to her.  Copying some of famous paintings was easy for her and soon it took a hard look to even be able to spot her copy from the original.  Soon a plan started to form in her head.  She needed some money and why not forge some paintings?  After all it seemed like a victimless crime to her with every party coming out on top.  

★𝙒𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨★

Grounding Presence - Maia can be a bit of a wild child and would benefit from someone to calm her tf down

Family - Either her actual family or a found family, Maia would love to get to know people enough to trust them and not feel like she’s always On A Job™️ and trying to sell someone she’s not

Wild Child - On the other hand let’s go crazy, let’s get stupid and have some fun.  She’s always down to clown and try new things

Role Models - Maia could use some role models in her life, she hasn’t exactly had proper ones in her life growing up

One Night Stands/Friends With Benefits - Maia takes some time for true romance to blossom but she’s totally down for some sexy fun times/flirting

Neighbors - She’s been in Valentine for a while so she would definitely be friendly with anyone living even remotely close to her

My hands are not shaking. It feels like they should be. Every part of my body feels like it should be vibrating to pieces but I am more still than I have been in a solid week. My stress levels are so high that it feels like I should be screaming, but I’m not. I’m not shaking. My hands are not trembling. My breaths are even. And as I write this I am calming down. I’m okay. I’ll be alright. I’ll get through this. My hands are not shaking, and they feel less like they should be. I’m settling. I’m alright. I’m getting through this. Everything will turn out okay. There is no inevitable failure. I have time. I will have second chances. It’s not the end of the world. No one will judge me. It means nothing if someone does judge me. I’ll be okay. I’ll be okay. I’ll be okay. My feet are on the ground. My hands are on the keyboard. The room is cold. I’m okay. I’m okay. I won’t spiral out again. I won’t. I’ll climb out if I do. I’ll be okay. The stains in me are rising to the surface to escape. They are fading. They will fade. I have time. I have options. I have choices. I’ll be okay. I’m not backed into a corner. I have a full week I have enough time. I’m going to meet someone soon. They’re nice. I’ll be okay. I don’t have to come back. I don’t have to. It will be better. I’ll be okay I’ll be okay I’ll be okay. I will be okay. I’m self-soothing. The anxiety is coming back but I’ll be okay. I can handle a conversation. I can handle an uncomfortable conversation. I have to handle this uncomfortable conversation. I can do this I can be okay. I can. Calm . I can calm. I am calm. I can handle this. I’m not alone. I feel alone. No one will hurt me. I sometimes think someone will, but no one will hurt me. No one will judge me for this. It is not anyone’s job to judge me. The villanelle is strange and beautiful. Odd. Full of fear and accusations and bitterness and want. Desire for something other. Something else. Something. Desire. Broken Rules. Rules. Known and then broken. Beautiful. Painful. Art disturbs the comfortable and comforts the disturbs. I am comforted. Soothed. The fear is leaving, replaced by the odd painful longing of a soothing bitter villanelle. Lullaby in Fracktown. I will have to read that later. The website is not working. She will not give up. Courage, dear. Courage. The villanelle we read. The strange song. The one. It is called ‘Nursery’. She will not be defeated. I’m calming down. My mind is in other places. The tension is still there. The stress. The cortisol. It is still there. Tightness in my chest. It lingers like a bad smell. My car smells. I need to clean it. I need to start packing my dorm. I need to read more villanelles, she says. To learn before writing my own. Makes sense. Makes sense. The rules. The rules are written. Five threes, a four, capitals and lowercase and splinters and the Renaissance. The words are a dance song, and sweet. Rhythm. Simple. Pastoral. Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night. A soft song sad title. I feel the longing in the words. Begging and crying and weeping softly. Do not go. Soft and inevitable. Gentle. Unknown and feared and ultimately for the best but painful nonetheless. Into That Good Night. We read now. The Waking by Theodore Roethke. This is an odd journal, in an odd place. I may hide it. I am not sure. The Waking is softer. Less odd. Less fearful. More introspective. Like a steady walk. A stroll. A walking horse in a meadow. At dusk. Twilight. I am hungry. Rita Dove. ‘Testimony’. Odd. But not like ‘Nursery’. More splintered. Sharper. More bitter and angry. Softened by hope and despair. ‘All the Time Blues Villanelle’. Tim Seibles. I think I can do it. I think I can. I think I can. The little blue engine that could. Could he, though? Can I? I cannot consider the opposite. Seibles is full of sadness. He’s tired. Gone mad but not wild. Sad and quiet and undone. ‘Villanelle with Violin’ by Marilyn Krysl. Full of fear and wonder and respect and deep sadness. A window into a painful piece of childhood. This class is long. Read them. The Villanelles. On poets.org.

Liverpool visit 15th September

We will be visiting the 12th edition of Liverpool Biennial, ‘uMoya: The Sacred Return of Lost Things’, along with the Tate and The Museum of Liverpool. You will see a very broad range of work that will delight and inspire, but may also confuse or not interest you. That's OK- on Foundation, you should be challenged with new ideas, concepts and methods, so be open-minded and learn something new. You will photograph and draw artworks and details- you might love a texture you see, be fascinated by how it's constructed, or be interested in what the work is about.

For the next three weeks, you will use the visit to Liverpool as the basis for a series of activities and projects, so you should photograph and film as much as you can. You should also make notes/ take photos of the accompanying text to explain WHAT the work is about. Some of the work is about social injustice, global wars and instability, an energy crisis, environmental violence, economic systems crashing, racial and gender injustices. Liverpool is a place of community, of migration, of reflecting the past and more importantly moving forward. It is a place of culture, excitement, history and personality.

As part of this 3 week block, you will consider ethics, society, sustainability in a chaotic world in your own work, so look deeper than the surface of the works you see.

What work should you do?

collect information leaflets

fill the accordion book you have made with drawings, cuttings from leaflets, notes, print outs, recording the things that catch your eye. You should complete this in private study time ready for the following Wednesday's lesson. It should be packed with inspiration

You can also add images from Liverpool- architecture, people etc

put photos and videos on Tumblr ready for Wednesday

We will visit (times approximate):

10.30 Tobacco Warehouse; 21a Regent Road, L3 OBA

get coach to 

12.00 Tate Liverpool; Royal Albert Dock, L3 4BB 

You should also visit the permanent collection at the Tate. Make sure you visit all floors

You have the afternoon to have lunch, look around the Tate and visit the Museum of Liverpool.  You can also go into the Slavery Museum and Maritime Museum if you want to (all are free)

2.00-ish: Museum of Liverpool; Pier Head

Wonderous place exhibition

'Celebrating the city’s staggering roll call of trailblazing entertainers, musicians, sports people, writers, poets, visual artists and comedians, the gallery continues to showcase Liverpool’s internationally recognised creative expression and influence through exciting new displays and immersive experiences.'

This includes a new Stage and Screen display, which examines the city as a film set and how it continues to provide an impressive backdrop to Hollywood blockbusters and award-winning TV shows. Items on display include one of Villanelle’s costumes from Killing Eve worn by Liverpool actress Jodie Comer. From iconic Beatles suits and Garry Christian’s famous hat and sunglasses, to a dreamy Lita Roza dress and Spice Girl Mel C’s stage costume, the gallery explores Liverpool’s enviable reputation for musical creativity. 

3.45- Meet at Albert Dock, and head to coach.

6.30- Return to the JWC.

okay i get the feeling its gonna get long and im taking in the ones in your active tag but if you also want to expand on this and or other combos lmk...also not putting down anything we have talked about already...also kinda cheating and adding the guys from scoops hehhee also also there are some combos i might be interested in but like i wanna wait until i know more about the characters so ill dm you about those specifically...also edit i forgor giselle was here so... adding that to the mix

julie & villanelle

baby murderer meets grown up assassin, there is like these differences between them that would make an interaction kinda funny??? there's a lot julie could learn and idk it would be a good thing to explore...maybe the difference on why they kill and how they see killing like idk idk that's interesting to me...julie used to be the popular girl, she kinda is still....something we can cook there

fiona & martha

so fiona is a girl from the 16th century dropped into the modern world to reunite with her husband...perchance she could be a time anomaly, something funny there. martha has time traveled, has endured things for the sake of guy and has had that whoops what did i get myself into moment...which i think is one funny because it paralelles what fiona goes through but also like idk something IS HERE...friends....fwiendship....

patrick & aimee

oh well i could give him a st verse and like ...heheh hoo hoo bad boy alert, but there's this myths and shit that are so untrue about him. so like that could definitely be funny to explore, also he is a pretty guy and can be emotionally open and understanding !! hell we could even recreate the movie plot with st in the background jkhrkjhg there is SOMETHING HERE OK?

patrick & adam

oh damn two guys ...two dudes with a bad reputation and while adam is more angry than sad patrick is kinda more like stoic and sad than angry,, idk neither of them like opening up so maybe they can hangout and not talk about their feelings at all until they grow emotionally and idk be a safe space for each other but like in the cool guy way

richie & dustin

ummm mike's annoying queer cousin....he is like a funny lil kid, i think there isnt necesarilly a funny lil kid his type of brand in the party, he also is a geek (not a nerd) so putting them into situations would be fun, also lil kid who has also dealt with weird ass happenings in one's town so he would be extra annoying i think ! funny banter here...also them bickering at each other is a guarantee ! fun !

alice & el

alice's st verse has her as an experiment, so hehehe hooo sister's vibes. she is also very much different from the people el usually surrounds herself with, she is very much a weird girl, and her powers have developed way past the default here...also bonding over their share trauma,,, she also has a scientist dude who basically killed her family and alice wants him dead...so like hehehe fun stuff there

aimee & luna

listen aimee is part of the pack, luna is in the pact, she isn't as clueless as aimee can be but i feel like they both can be girls, girls, so i think a friendship is definitely in order ! also another dog friend who doesn't want that ???

clem & luna

wow the way luna would absolutely take in clementine in as a younger sister, i think even though kane tries i feel luna and clem would connect a bit better over the whole turned into a wolf thing, especially because i think luna also got turned by necesity like clem did, also clem has this edge that kane also ocassionaly has but luna actually lacks...luna might learn a thing or two from clem

anamaria & muireann

mermaid and pirate, maybe ann gets attached to anamaria, and now anamaria has a whole ass mermaid to deal with...a whole ass feral mermaid, but maybe muireann has her back...can help anamaria kick ass hehehe

joe & giselle

wow ?? repeat customer at her tavern...an annoying lil guy who can bicker with her? he is also sorta friends with dave, since they kinda go back. a fun way for giselle to find out about dave's past like the parts he doesn't disclose necessarily...but also maybe a fling,,, he's a fun guy to be around most of the times,,, i think kghkjsdhfjsf

ophelia & giselle

wow two of the most important women in dave's life, would be fun to compare and contrast....they both ran away from what was home and family to them. so that's hehehe hooo ?? ophelia is also a lil weirdo sometimes. and i think she definitely needs feminine energies in her life especially someone that has a strong personality like giselle, teach her your ways ... perchance?

rosa & morgana

hehe hoo hoo witches magic users on opposite sides of the good evil spectrum? interesting very interesting. we could do like a modern thing for them or maybe even make it high fantasy...maybe friends turned rivals turned enemies, they would be at odds on the topic of use of dark magic...and if they were friends at some point wouldn't that be a lil sad :((

A Trip to Brixton

@kc-and-co​

Day 6 - Fruit

18 April, 1987

I made my way downstairs, not really wanting to be up at this hour. The clock chiming 07.30 as I walked past only irritated me further. I slumped in my seat, not eager for the busy day ahead.

A thermos of tea made, some eggs sandwiched, and a quick clothes change, and we were hurtling our way to London. Mum had a list of things to do before we drove up to Keswick. Madam Villanelle needed some help moving some books from the store room, and organising them before the newest first years really descended in the coming weeks.

Mum also wanted to pop over to Brixton, to find some fruits and vegetables for tomorrow. I wanted to check out another bookstore in Brixton (Really a stall near where mum liked to get her fruits and vegetables), but I doubted we’d have time to look.

A quick hop from Waterloo to Charing Cross, we enjoyed the walk to Diagon Alley. It was still cold and wet, but I preferred it. It beat warm, sunny and dry in my opinion. Passing through the Leaky Cauldron, we ended up stopping and talking with Tom a little bit, and he handed her a package of some kind. I didn’t ask what it was.

Exiting out to Diagon Alley, we headed for Flourish and Blotts.

It wasn’t a difficult job, per se, just one that needed several hands. Mum even managed to tick off several other, less pressing work items, before we navigated down to Brixton. A tube ride later, we were thrust into a chaotic swarm of people, which we moved through towards the market we occasionally frequented for food stuffs outside the UK.

Mum and the vendor chatted briefly, before I wandered off to explore some, stretching my legs before the five hour drive up to Keswick. And Hell, I was also looking for something to give great-grandma Eleanor.

Which I found at the rare book stall I tended to frequent when we visited, considering the number of Astronomy texts they carried, and even a selection of magical texts on occasion. I had even planned ahead, converting some galleons to pounds.

It was as I was leafing through a leather-bound copy of Einstein’s notes on Relativity that I was joined by another girl, probably a couple years older than me. I kinda recognised her, she’d visited the stall before. I reached out a hand.

���M’name’s Ellie.” I muttered, just loud enough for her to hear me.

She tentatively stretched hers out as well. “I’m Shanelle.” We shook, before returning to our respective books.

Sounds of a scuffle breaking out a few minutes later caught my attention, along with hers, and I beat a hasty retreat, handing over a couple of notes before waving goodbye and hurrying away with my purchases: the leather bound copy, and a book on magical herbs for great-grandma Eleanor.

Finding mum, she let me stick the books in her bag, before we set off again, this time for home.

We appariated home, which left me a little woozy. I packed a few things dad had taken out, along with a few things he wouldn’t, before hurrying down to the car. Mum had, thankfully, packed a snack bag, and me and dad had both brought a selection of cassettes to help pass the time.

We left for Keswick, mum and dad already bickering over the map, trying to figure out which way to get there. Magic might’ve been used, a time or two. Nothing major.

It was practically tea time by the time we arrived up and reached Keswick, and another twenty minutes before we reached the Northrup House, pulling into the drive with a crunch of gravel. The twins barrelled out first, followed by great-grandma Eleanor at a more sedate pace, and the rest of the family behind her.

I resisted the urge to flip off the man currently leaning against one of the posts, and who scowled at my appearance. Uncle Jameson.

There was a person who needed to be kicked into the North Sea.

Chapter Four ⋆ The Devil

read it on AO3 ( x ) or wattpad ( x )

The pressure on his forehead only began to get worse, despite the quiet he’d now surrounded himself with. Oz swore he could actually hear his head pounding. It had gotten to the point where he could feel his vision beginning to blur while he dug around in his pockets to find the strip of painkillers he packed that morning. Even if he’d long stopped believing in painkillers, or any sort of solution. Maybe a big, hard, thump to the head would fix him. Or an ice pick to the frontal lobe.

The pain had Oz delirious enough to genuinely consider it an option.
