A lavender place between wake and sleep

*A one shot of Anne and Gilbert meeting at dawn before their wedding. *

The air was cool and the sky still dark when Anne slipped out of the back door of Green Gables and headed toward the woods. The stars were beginning to fade from the sky and the sky was beginning to lighten as she made her way along the grassy path she knew so well.

A slight breeze blew her hair gently and caused her night gown to float behind her. Anne reveled in the feeling of grass between her toes and smiled up into the lightning sky.

“Oh what a glorious day to be married,” she whispered as her eyes lit onto a grove filled with wildflowers. She glanced at the sky again and then sat down amongst the flowers. She plucked the prettiest from their stems and quickly wove them into a flower crown that she placed upon her head.

The sky was turning from light grey to pink and red when she rose and stretched. She was so overjoyed at the day ahead of her that she couldn’t help but twirl around the flowers, dancing like she used to as a child. She was so enchanted with her own thoughts and the beauty of the morning that she didn’t notice anyone approaching until he was right upon her in the grove.

“How did I know you would be here?” Gilbert asked with a laugh. Anne turned to him with a grin, grabbing his hand as she turned back to stare at the sunrise.

“Perhaps it’s because I’ve always told you I want to be married at dawn.” Anne said without looking at him.

“I was actually going to say the enchantment if your very existence draws me to wherever you are, for that is where my heart resides.” Gilbert murmured, leaning in to place a kiss on Anne’s cheek.

Anne looked at him then, eyes wide, a smile playing on her lips, she wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his chest, looking toward the eastern horizon.

“What a glorious dawn, a dawn of a new life, our life together.” She whispered, “it’s like the universe knows how special this day will be, dont you think, Gil?”

“Every day with you is a special day to me, Anne-girl,” Gilbert murmered into her hair, “but this day is indeed glorious. I have waited for this day my whole life.”

Anne turned her face up to Gilbert’s. She noted he had already shaved and was dressed for the day... well for a regular day. He hadn’t donned his suit yet, simply wearing his trousers, white shirt, and suspenders. He looked so handsome, gazing into the dawn, jaw set, a faint smile on his lips, the wind playing with the curls atop his head.

“I only wish I could give you the wedding you have dreamed of,” Gilbert said quietly, not looking at Anne.

“What are you talking about, Gil?” Anne whispered, “today will be lovely.”

“I know it will be lovely, but it is not the wedding you told me of when we were still kids,” Gilbert said, looking at Anne now.

“Oh, Gil my dawn wedding would never fly with Marilla and Diana. Trust me I tried.”

“But, Anne,” Gilbert said suddenly, “we are here, aren’t we? It’s the dawn of our wedding day.”

Anne’s breath was taken away at the realization.

“You’re right. It’s almost like fate. Here we are at dawn. We found each other by chance.”

“Marry me, Anne,” Gilbert said suddenly, “right now. We can have a ceremony of our own out here just like you dreamed. We can have our own little dawn wedding for the both of us right now and then have the official one this afternoon for everyone else.”

Anne laughed breathlessly at the wildly sincere look on Gilbert’s face as he stared into her eyes.

“Marry me, Anne. Please?” He whispered.

“Of course I will, darling Gil.” She whispered.

Gently, Anne placed her hand on Gilbert’s cheek and turned to face him. When he pressed his face into her hand and closed his eyes she placed her other hand on the other side of his face. Gently, she traced his lips with her thumb and ran her fingers through his hair. She brushed her fingers along his jaw and his brow. She ran her finger down his nose and Gilbert sighed.

“Mmm Anne, what are you doing?” Gilbert murmured, “Not that I don’t enjoy it because it is quite pleasant.”

“Stay still, Gil,” Anne whispered, “ive only just realized that this will be the last time I am to gaze upon you an unmarried woman. We shall never again be Gilbert and Anne, schoolmates and chums.”

“Darling we haven’t been just friends for quite some time,” Gilbert chuckled, opening his eyes a crack to watch Anne gaze at him intensely, but he didn’t move.

“Oh Gil, just let me gaze upon you while you still look like the boy I fell in love with all those years ago. The dawn light makes all our old selves feel alive again and I want to greet each one as a single woman one last time before we are married.”

Gilbert opened his eyes and gazed in wonder at his beautiful Anne with her extraordinary thoughts. He remained silent as she gazed upon him. Anne brought his face toward hers and Gilbert obliged, expecting a kiss and surprised when Anne placed a kiss on the side of his head.

“There’s the Gilbert that called me ‘carrots’ when i ignored him at school.”

She brought her lips to his cheek next.

“And the boy bearing more grief than anyone ever should.”

She placed a kiss on his forehead, right between his eyebrows.

“And the boy who went off to sea with the worries of the world on his shoulders.”

A kiss on his nose followed.

“Here’s the Gilbert that returned, ready to take on the world and pursue his dreams.”

Gently Anne kissed each of Gilbert’s eyelids.

“Now I see the Gilbert who saw the world for what it could be and decided to work to change it for the better.”

She kissed his chin.

“Here is the Gilbert who has told the truth even when it was hard.”

Anne took Gilbert’s hand in her own hands and placed a kiss in the center of his palm.

“This is Gilbert the man and good doctor who works restlessly until his patients are cured.”

Anne gently grasped Gilbert’s face and kissed his lips gently and lingeringly. It was a slow kiss, lingering, and sweet. She only pulled away when Gilbert sighed into her mouth.

“And here is my Gilliest of Gils. The man I fell in love with. The compassionate, romantic kindred spirit of mine. My future husband, my best friend, my partner and equal.”

“Oh, Anne.” Gilbert said, pulling her into his embrace.

He kissed her cheek.

“I see the girl I meet on the path to school when we were just children. The one I asked if she had any dragons for me to slay.”

He kissed her hands.

“Here’s the Anne with her fiery temper who broke her slate over my head. And the one who wrote me while I was at sea.”

He kissed her nose and her forehead and her chin.

“Here’s the Anne I came back to. Here’s Anne the writer, the caregiver, the friend, the comforter, the compassionate.”

He kissed her eyelids and her neck and finally her lips.

“And here is the Anne who gave me hope. The one who lifted my spirits and showed me how to love.”

Gilbert kissed Anne again then pulled away, running a hand through her loose hair.

“How could I be so lucky as to find you, my beautiful elven fairy girl? My Anne who comes to me at dawn in a gossamer gown and flower crown, natural and beautiful and perfectly Anne-ish.”

“It’s hardly gossamer but you’re the one who came to me, dearest.” Anne whispered.

“And I will continue to, for the rest of my life Anne. I have chased you my whole life and if you let me I will stand by your side and face life’s ups and downs with you until my dying breath.” Gilbert whispered passionately, taking Anne’s hand in his.

Anne felt her breath catch. She had written to him about her dream wedding nearly a year and a half ago right at the beginning of their engagement. She never thought he would remember the whole thing.

“Anne Shirley-Cuthbert,” Gilbert whispered, “I hereby swear that from this day forward I shall stand by your side as your equal and partner, your lover and comrade in all things. I shall never hinder your ambitions and dreams, but rather support you in all you choose to do from this day until the day I die. Will you take me as your lifemate, to have and to hold through thick and thin, whatever may come?”

Tears of joy sprang to her eyes and she held Gilbert’s hand firmly in her own and placed the other on his cheek.

“Oh Gil, i take your to have and to hold in sickness and health, in thick and thin, whatever storms may come, to be my life mates. I hereby vow to support you in all your endeavors and to stand by your side as we face the storms of life and the joys. I take you, my equal in intellect and compassion as my partner in all things from this day forth until I die. There is no one else I could have a love bond with. You are my true kindred spirit. It has always been you, for our souls dance together in such a way that it lights up the world around us and everything seems brighter.”

It was at this point Anne leapt into Gilbert’s arms and kissed him fiercely. He grabbed her by the waist and after kissing her quite passionately for a good moment he picked her up and spun her around. The two danced in the meadow as the dawn broke.

Anne tangled her hands in Gilbert’s hair and pushed him down into the grass so as to be able to kiss him more easily. She sat in his lap and kissed his lips and his cheeks and his neck until Gilbert thought he might forget his very name.

It was nearing 7 am when Anne finally snuck back into Green Gables. She found Marilla and Diana awaiting her. However, rather than questions they offered her smiles and hugs.

The official wedding was beautiful, and the first bride of Green Gables was happy as could be. Her husband couldn’t think of a joy better than the day as it unfolded. However, it was the private promises made that dawn that tang truest to them both and it was to those vows of equality, love, and support that they clung to in the years as they unfolded sweetly before themselves.

Oh hey, it's more freaking art. Wow. Yes, they are based off characters from Fate, I did that on purpose. This is a pony au, wow, where things are a little different. They each have different names, but they still have vaguely similiar personalities, usually, to who they are based on.

The Cu Chulainn ponies are all related. Caster is the unicorn, Lane is her twin brother the pegasus, and Ber is the half dragon pony hybrid.

Arches is based off Achilles, Kitsu is Kiritsugu, and in this universe, hes Caster and co's dad. Deal with it.

Dauntless is the Edmond Dantes of this world, and Dumar is Diarmuid; and Kiremine is the evil mastermind Kirei. Yep hes still evil, even here.

Princess Alria is the high princess, based off Artoria Pendragon herself, and Mors is based off Mordred. They get along, mostly. And Prince Merl, is, you guessed it, Merlin.

Stilt is a very different name from Astolfo, but it's the name they get because no one of this universe has any idea what gender they really are, and no one is brave enough to ask. Giggles is Gilgamesh, and I got his name thanks to my friend having mentioned that he calls good old Gil that because reasons. He is a major flirt and overall nuisance to Caster.

Also, Cutiemarks work way, way different here. They dont show your talent or destiny, Cutiemarks in this verse show that you are the very best at that thing you do in all of Equus, yes that's the name of their country. Caster is the best Mage in all of Equus, no one is better. I did this because I didnt want to have to design a bunch of Cutiemarks and then have to draw them every time. Yes I'm lazy.

There are other characters not based off the Fate series that are part of this au as well. Marbles, who is the slightly crazy unicorn everyone loves, and Aries, an earth pony who wants to be a pegasus more than anything, to name a few. I am putting their designs under scrutiny and adding more in the meantime.

The names that are colored are more important in general to the story. They have a big role or show up a lot.

I bet this is not everything and i will add stuff but yeah!!!!

Hotaru (first draft is finished)

- Abt two men that are linked through a surgery called “synchronisation”, which basically connects their minds and bodies, so they are forced to work as a team. Ea is an ex-soldier and Cain was a hacker, but due to the fact that they can’t stand each other, they also didn’t share their pasts with each other. To pay someone to unlink them, they become bounty hunters and kidnap the girl Ai and her robot Subaru, which is one of the old military robots, called Hotarus (high technologised, operating, transforming, artificial intelligence, ranger units). They are connected to a human ranger and can transform into what the ranger wants them to transform into.

The Hotaru headquarters exploded 10 years ago and since then the Hotarus are super rare on the black market.

The two men plan on selling both the girl and her robot and let’s just say it all doesn’t work out that well.

The day the world turned white ( first draft is finished, working on it)

To stop global warming some scientists basically caused a new ice age. On the long run this might be very effective but the former countries, now sectors, are hit by strong ice storms, called snow white. To stay safe huge bunkers, the Safe Cities, were built and the local fauna and flora were stored in Arks, to preserve them.

Usually an alarm sounds before all citizens are brought into the SCs, but this time Reese and her best friend Yuki dont manage to get to the vehicles on time and are left behind. They seek shelter in a private bunker outside of town that Yuki found out about recently. Suddenly a group of boys their age knocks on the door, because they were also left behind and followed the girls.

Al, the brothers Eli and Isaac, Gil and Henry become the new bunker-mates and the group has to survive one year in the bunker, until the storm is over.

( I have a blog for this story, just search for The day the world turned white! There are pics and some posts for example abt which patronus/spirit animal the charas have!)

Reese/ Therese Wells

Al/ Alexander Glover

Yuki Sarah Brooke

Eli Green

Isaac Green

Gil de Santos

Henry Summers

The Sun will always rise (The sequel, probably forever unfinished)

About a group of rebels, the Sun Children, that are sworn enemies to the government and its ways to cope with Snow White.

Takes place abt one/two years after Tdtwtw.

Lucy and Aidan are kicked out of an underground organisation that stays in the cities underground system during the storm phases and the two wander around in the snow until Michael and Rin pick them up and bring them to the Sun Children. From looking into the snow directly to maneuver, Lucy has turned snowblind.

Fallen Angels ( A trilogy, one and a half books were finished, reconcepted)

We don’t talk abt this but it was one of my first stories i truly wrote.

Abt fallen angels saving the world or sth. It’s super clichee and just ugh.

The newer version would cancel some charas and make it abt rebalancing Darkness and Light in the worlds. With a more diverse cast and also different magical races. And a way less creepy Adam.

Ray/Raven

Sera

Indigo ( haven’t written it yet and i don’t know if i ever will, but have drawn stuff. I lowkey wanna see this as a comic)

A story abt a clan of shapeshifters, called Indigos. They are basically human that can shift into dolphins and their clan lives on an island near Australia. Its a modern story and the gang consisting of our local gay dolphin girl Keerie, her cousins Akash and Arjuun (younger brother, older sis), and Ky ( adopted as a child, japanese heritage, a different breed of dolphin idk) lives their “normal lives” with lots of shenenigans and drama.

Some day Keerie falls in love with Navy, the daughter of the owner of the local Aquapark (that the clan suspect also does illegal stuff like snatching wild animals).

Keerie

Arjuun

Akash

Navy

“Neo Alcatraz” ( reworks of a very old story)

To put it simply, there is a pack of scientists that bionically enhance children and send them off to different countries to basically be local superheroes. Our gang was kinda left behind bc the countries rather took the newer, better versions and here they are now, a bunch of supernatural teens facing the (not so) everyday struggles of life.

Atalanta

Chi

Callie

Lee

Victor/Konrad

Gemsona (just art)

Larimar

- has water powers and her backstory bases on my private/old Squads life story and a lot of me thinking of drawing music videos for her but never doing it

Anthea (art and headcanons)

- my Dnd Oc

The Bender Girls ( art and headcanons)

- basically some Avatar the last Airbender Ocs i made once

Daiyu

Hotaru

Yura

Sündenfall / Sinfall (short story)

A short story i wrote for a competition which is basically every crime series but magic.

Harvey is immortal, he dies and is revived, and solves crimes through it. Paige is basically his assistant and the case they are on is abt a person that kills magical beings and “arranges” the victims fitting to the seven sins.

Ilya Winter

Harvey

Paige

Delphi

Sphinx

The concept charas, that had a different storyline ( they were basically a team of magical beings that would solve cases… rather unconventional.) I considered reworking them into the new Fallen Angels concept:

Ilya

Harvey

Timothy

Worth mentioning:

Project Alpha (script, some art):

The script for a shortfilm i once made with my friends. A school class has a plane crash and only a few students survive, they all embody a different character archetype (the sunshine, the soziopath, the smart one etc.) They try to survive and are put through weird psychological mind experiments like the trolley problem.

To be honest, the concept had and still has a lot of potential and we just hadn’t the opportunities to rly set it the way we anticipated. The shooting day was super fun, though! Still laughing about the outtakes

Astral Chronicles (some art and a few chapters, unfinished)

A story Idea i still like but probably wont write like this because of copyright problems. Its basically a giant Crossover.

Its abt people who have an Astral( mostly a literature figure) they embody when they are dreaming. Their body stays in bed and is vulnerable but the Astral can basivally run around and has special powers. If the Astral dies, the person wakes up but i think when the body dies the person dies too? idk.

The Protagonist embodies Alice and there are also the White Rabbit, Peter Pan, Tinkerbell usw.

There was also some kind of conflict? I dont remember.

If i would ever rewrite it the Astrals would be embodiments of the Zodiac signs.

(does this even fit?)

The Fanfiction thing i wrote abt Peter Pan/ Jack Frost

- like i have tons of short drabbles and the start of a fanfiction and honestly i liked the ideas i had a lot

The ones we better not talk abt:

Part Hunter

Basically there was a being named eternity/aeterna that was shattered into oarts (like in TRC)

and chosen ones have to reclaim them.

The ones that basically die are turned into guardians, like Time and Space ( they had animal companions they were fused with i guess)

Melody is the current part hunter and has a tragic love story, her animal is a tiny horse thing??????

Idk

basically a long story in which i used my dreams as base for the episodes

The nameless story

Actually super interesting but too many charas and a too tiny will to draw action scenes or write them.

Like its based around a super popular game in huge spheres/buildings and the teams wear some anti gravity outfits and shoes and can walk on the walls and shit and can basically attack using elements/illusion/ conjure monsters idk.

And the main team had an opponent team that basically specialized in the 25272 other elements and some day they just fused teams idk.

There also was some prophecy shit abt the anchors, ppl that can control all elements the same???? Idk

Element guardians

- basically four teens that control the elements and do shit together

- at some point i gave all of them dragons

- still thinking abt this sometimes

- The originals:

Luna: the shameless self insert , earth, pony girl, bland blonde i think

Katy: Air, best friend, bubbly

Dan: The jock. Fire

Nick: The emo. Water

At some point Katy became Skye and Dan and Nick got other names but yeah-

Talent Academy

The story thats basically a ripoff of Alice academy. Like a school with hierachie between the students and ranks and shit and different houses and the students have powers IDK

If you read through all of this, bless you for showing interest in my stories ;) And hey, if you want me to rant about any of them, just send me an ask or a message!!!

Why This Chicago Tutoring Center Wants to Be the ‘Whole Foods’ of Education

When Gil Gibori searches for an analogy to describe the model behind his new premium tutoring center, The House, he’s apt to touch on a few big names, including WeWork, the Apple Genius Bar and, perhaps most unusually, the premium grocer Whole Foods.

Gibori has been in tutoring for a while. A biologist by training, he’s helped run an in-home tutoring company for more than a decade before securing his first physical location last year. After months of planning and building, The House recently opened in Glencoe, Ill., a well-heeled suburb north of Chicago, in a 5,000 square-foot space next to a yoga studio, a few blocks from Lake Michigan. The center serves kids in grades six to 12 and features onsite tutoring, and amenities including sleek, flexible furniture and a gourmet kitchen stuffed with snacks.

Also on call: a team of super tutors specifically hired to appeal to kids—mostly Ph.D. holders and candidates, often with colorful backgrounds (think former surfers, roadies and musicians).

Source: The House

“It’s the idea you’re taking the space and then layering over these dynamic tutors that have proven to the market that the more tattoos per square inch you have, the more kids respond to you,” Gibori says.

Tutors roam around and get pulled into 10-minute mini sessions with students on the fly. But they’re also available for longer sessions on demand or by appointment. Even though they share a space with students, Gibori opted against having kids physically flag down passing tutors in favor of something more closely resembling Apple’s Genius Bar, where on-demand appointments can be made via app. In this case, a custom-designed one called homework.sucks.

“We’re speaking to them in a language they understand,” Gibori says of students, “where even even if you’re ten feet from a tutor, they’d rather interact over their phone.”

For design inspiration, he drew from what Facebook and Google have done with their offices, and from coworking startups like WeWork, which mix couches and lounge areas with group work spaces and private rooms. The House has a similar modern feel but is designed to mimic a luxury home to make kids feel more comfortable. Gibori also sells the concept as a sort of youth hangout lounge with Wi-Fi, where kids don’t even have to study. Besides the snacks, there are weekend movie nights and parties after big events like final exams.

And parents aren’t just discouraged from tagging along—they’re outright banned.

“It’s not only a space that feels like home,” Gibori says, “it’s a space that feels like home without your parents there.”

Source: The House

Author and school design consultant Robert Dillon calls the variation in learning spaces—large tables, sitting areas and glass-walled breakout rooms—“micro-environments,” and says it’s similar to what districts around the country are attempting to create using open learning spaces and flexible furniture.

“I wish schools would have this level of intention around design, and that students themselves would engage and be excited about school as they are about this space,” says Dillon, who has warned against the dangers of buying flexible furniture without a vision for how they support learning environments.

Dillon is now serving as The House’s researcher in residence, and says he’ll take some of the concepts engineered there back to the St. Louis area school districts he works with. He acknowledges that public schools can rarely be as responsive as private business to something like space design, although there may be lessons to be learned.

And whatever else The House aspires to be, it’s still very much a business first, and the priority is on finding a sustainable business model while it seeks funding for local or even national expansion. Currently, it offers monthly memberships for $350 a month, which includes on-demand tutoring and unlimited access to the center. There’s also an option for non-members to book one-off sessions with an outside tutor for a fee.

While general homework help is always in demand from students, tutors spend almost half their time helping teens prep for standardized tests, such as the SATs. That’s typical for a model that relies almost exclusively on middle- and upper-class families with more college-bound kids.

Source: The House

Currently, there are plans to expand to two additional Chicago locations, both in upmarket neighborhoods where median family incomes can exceed $300,000. Gibori is also seeking capital to fund a larger regional or even national expansion. But for that to happen, it has to be profitable—and by extension, privileged. That’s where he says The House is drawing from the growth of Whole Foods.

“It’s a model I’d like to follow because while Whole Foods has received a lot of criticism, it did teach the world the value of organic food,” Gibori says. “Now every supermarket in our area, no matter their price point, offers organic food. We are admittedly expensive, but our ethos is to be as inclusive as possible.”

Private tutoring is linked to better overall academic performance in students, but has also been termed part of the “shadow education system” that “commonly creates and perpetuates social inequalities,” according to a UNESCO report. New research also suggests that the widening class divide also impacts parents’ financial investment in their kids—meaning that as income gaps grow, poorer families spend less on activities like tutoring while wealthy families spend more.

Because The House is still in startup mode, Gibori says he’s unable to offer any of its seats to families that can’t afford the cost. (Members can, however, bring guests). As part of the effort to raise capital, he’s reached out to foundations to fund a program that serves students with social-emotional difficulties. And he’s floated the idea of using foundation funding—should it materialize—to put locations in economically disadvantaged areas, although such plans are a long way off.

“Right now it’s an expensive model to sustain,” Gibori says. “So we are placing it in affluent neighborhoods.”
