Decided to do some stuff on the Greylock Tapes. Like other mutations the survivors had that we didn’t see in the pictures shown.
Warning! Body horror galore below the cut!
Thomas Rockford
Other mutations: Just ever so slightly taller than he was before the incident. Adrenal glands are also discolored and dysfunctional, which causes the random outbursts.
Samuel Washington
Other mutations: Mutated thalamus produces psilocybin nonstop, which causes the constant delusions and paranoia. One side of the jaw is also grossly elongated, and flesh around the shoulders is sloughing off.
Ramón Herrera
Other mutations: Aside from the broken-looking neck, several organs have fused into one large sack-like structure that produces a highly acidic compound (it’s not puke anymore) that must be expelled every now and then. This compound, as it evaporates, emits a highly potent nerve agent that is structurally similar to Novichok. Arms and legs are slightly atrophied due to lack of use.
Charles Flemming
Other mutations: Aside from the obvious, his brain is relatively untouched and he would be more talkative (though he’d mostly beg for God to save him and the other patients) if his vocal cords didn’t crap out. Even though he’s still mostly sane, his ‘attack and eat on sight’ thing is less a sight thing and more a physical proximity thing, and he seemingly blacks out shortly before going on the attack. His feet are also digitigrade, like the feet of a dog or wolf (long feet, heel always off the ground). This means he’s REALLY fast once he starts running.
Scott Oakhurst
Other mutations: Sociopathic narcissistic asshole before he mutated, and he’s even worse now that he’s a metahuman freak. That large wounded eye of his was not there before. He lost the old one five years prior to mutating. His new teeth are also self-sharpening, meaning that whenever he shuts his mouth, the teeth get sharper as they rub against each other. The bones in his fingers also burst through his skin and basically became claws. And not only is his increased bite force strong enough to crush bones like crackers, but the motherfucker chewed through a wooden door made from Australian Buloke like a beaver on steroids during the April 6th, 1987 incident.
Eduard Kowalski
Other mutations: In comparison to the others in terms of psychology, the original Eduard Kowalski is just not there anymore. Physically, those eyes of his should be functionally blind, consisting mostly of scar tissue and… something else. However, he can see in the infrared spectrum of light just fine, so he isn’t blind. Plus his arms are a lot longer than they were prior to mutation, and in comparison to the anatomy of normal people, his proportions are more similar to those of gibbons than people. And as for his newfound ability to get people to do just about anything using only his words… Those eyes of his might have something to do with it.
John Rafferty
Other mutations:
Poor little Johnny…
Poor weak, pathetic little Johnny…
Too afraid to be himself…
Too weak to be anything else…

character questions for the btaf crew!!! 1, 4, 5, 6, 10
thank youuuuu 💛💛💛 rapid answers gogogogo
1. What motivates your character?
biscella: love
eduard: love (derogatory)
sjaak: love (for better or worse)
azelie: love, defiance
silvano: sadism probably.
luis: the idea of purity (he’s a cult leader p much so take of that what you will)
maritxell: luis’s will
rosita: luis’s will and “love” (derogatory and questionable)
gust: to eradicate vampires from the world by any means necessary (also kinda cult-y)
dalal: gust’s goals by any means necessary
florissa: to stay alive and hopefully escape
4. Does your character care about their reputation and/or how others perceive them?
answered this for some of them (eduard, biscella, sjaak and azelie) but for the rest:
silvano: 2/10
luis: -100000000000000/10
maritxell: 10/10 regarding luis, 0/10 for anyone else
rosita: 6/10
gust: -100000000000000/10
dalal: 9/10 regarding gust, 3/10 for everyone else
florissa: 5/10
5. Is your character more of a family or friends person?
the casavantes (luis, maritxell, rosita, eduard, azelie, and silvano) are are more family people bc they’re p much a vampire cult as ya do. the wolves (gust and dalal) are the same.
biscella cares about both equally.
sjaak cares more about his friends because he has no family.
florissa cares about HER family back home that she’s been taken away from. she has some care for the werewolves around her but not enough to abandon them if she got the chance.
6. What, if anything, sticks out about their appearance?
pain and suffering that you asked this LMAO i still don’t know what these characters look like too hard cuz my brain is kind of focused on making sure they’re somewhat historically accurate as well. However, i’ll give you the current defining characteristics of what they look like or their Vibe for now (which is subject to change)
biscella: dark curly hair, a long narrow nose (think india), tan skinned
eduard: pale asf, red eyes, black hair
sjaak: dark skin, afro-centric features, curly hair.
azelie: black hair, olive skin, pale green eyes
luis: pale asf, red eyes, dirty blonde hair
maritxell: pale asf, red eyes, long dirty blonde hair. scars around her mouth.
rosita: pale asf, red eyes, wavy blonde hair. scars around her mouth
silvano: luis 2.0 but younger looking
gust: he’s always wearing a hood or shroud that hides his face as well as a braided turban
dalal: has her hair covered in a scarf of some kind
florissa: long dark hair, several beauty marks across her face and neck
10. If your character is an antagonist or something of the like, do they self-justify their actions? If so, how?
did this for eduard, sjaak, and azelie, so let’s do the other VILLAINS—
luis: of course he self justifies; he doesn’t believe in god but if he did he himself would be god. what he says goes, and it doesn’t matter if he contradicts himself he’ll kill you if you point it out. he rules the casavantes estate with an iron fist and he has killed for it.
maritxell: all of her actions are deemed acceptable under luis’s command and if they are that’s how she justifies them. it doesn’t matter if they’re right or wrong if luis says, it goes.
rosita: she doesn’t like… self justify in the traditional way. she Knows she’s jealous and angry and that is her justification to herself, but she knows damn well if eduard wasn’t in the crypt she wouldn’t dream of acting this way towards biscella
silvano: he operates on sadistic radical equality. there is no division of the sexes in his mind and to him everyone should be treated as the same: a sack of flesh used to further the cause. it sounds good on paper until you think about what that entails 💀
gust: vampires need to be eradicated for the good of humankind is what he preaches and sure to some extent he may be correct. However, the steps and methods and lengths he uses to get there are questionable and bordering on morally reprehensible; but for the sake of humanity—
dalal: she doesn’t self justify so much as she acknowledges that in order for humanity to be safe she has to get her hands dirty. she, like azelie, is aware that she will have to do bad things to further her goals, but she doesn’t excuse what she’s done. she just hopes that what she does will lead to a good outcome and impact.

Sweden, Estonia, and SweEst HCs (pt. 1/?)
(tw for violence, war, and blood)
Let's get one thing straight right off, alright? From about 980-1925, Sweden was... Awful. Genuinely terrible, and that's putting it lightly. He was controlling and manipulative and cold and generally lacked compassion for other people and nations. He judged whether or not nations were equal to him and worthy of his respect by how much damage they could do, how strong they were, and how well they could stand against him. This is due to the fact that Sweden was stuck in the mindset of servitude for quite some time. He believed that he owed everything to his people and government, and he believed the best way to repay them for his life was to be a tool to them. And he was very useful in this way. When someone was too afraid or humane to carry out an order, Sweden took the reigns and did it himself. He is responsible for many, many deaths. Innumerable deaths. Men, women, and children.
And Estonia? Estonia was a problem. And by that I mean he was a problem for every nation that sought to control him. He was not a docile, frightened man that rolled over in surrender every time a new power stepped into his land to conquer it. No, no, no. Estonia has been a fighter since day one, and it is because of his love, respect, and attachment to his land. He has led rebellions, raids, and war bands. He has slaughtered Teutonic Knights, priests. Eduard has fought off other nations and drove them away. Those who wished to take over the country needed to get past him first, and when he was young, that was a massive challenge. Estonia didn't show mercy when faced with those who were bent on destruction. He was a problem for anyone who didn't come in peace.
So naturally you'd think this would mean that Estonia and Sweden would naturally be at odds at the beginning of the Swedish Era in Estonia, right? Wrong.
You see, Sweden had the benefit of letting Denmark, Livonians, and the Teutonic Order go in and make their attempts at conquering, each with a different level of success. Not only that, but Sweden himself knew what kind of a threat Estonia posed. Estonia had destroyed his first capital city (Sacking of Sigtuna). Estonia had led revolts against Denmark (St. George's Night Uprising), and had made it clear that brute force, brutalization, and havoc were not good methods of making them submit. They couldn't be broken, and neither could Eduard. Instead, Sweden took a different approach. He was soft on Estonia - much softer than he was on Finland, his then spouse, who suffered greatly under the Swedish crown. He did not force Christianity on them, instead allowing them to keep or mix their traditions with it, resulting in a blend of Estonian folk practice and Christianity. He took back their land from the Baltic Germans and Livonians and redistributed it to native Estonians.
Of course, his methods were a flimsy veil that hid his true intentions, and Estonia knew that right away. Sweden was being gentle on him because he guessed that it would make Estonians more docile and easy to control. If they favored their reign, then it meant they would remain loyal to Sweden when other nations eventually came to try and take the territory on the Baltic from him.
Eduard wasn't fooled by this and remained hostile towards Sweden for decades. He continued to rebel and disobey and ignore Sweden. Sweden didn't retaliate or punish him for this, instead opting to let him do as he pleased, much to the annoyance of the other nations that lived with him at the time, such as Finland and Latvia and Livonia. Latvia to a lesser degree, as Sweden was softer with him too.
Rounding back to Sweden judging a nations worth by their strength, Estonia displaying that strength was actually the thing that made him not just respect him, but fall in love with him
See, when things got bad, Estonia would often up and disappear into the forest for weeks, sometimes months. Every time, Sweden had to find him and bring him back. One of the first times this happened, Estonia ambushed Sweden from a tree, wrestled him to the ground, subdued him, and threatened to kill him with Sweden's own knife. This impressed Sweden so much that he could not help but catch some feelings for him.
He didn't outright pursue Estonia during the Swedish age, as he was too busy, and even if he wasn't, Estonia would never have reciprocated. Instead he put great amounts of effort into befriending him, which he did successfully. In fact, he and Estonia were so close by the end of the Swedish age that when he lost the Great Northern War to Russia and lost Estonia and Latvia, he was inconsolable for almost an entire decade.
He wouldn't see Estonia again until the Interwar Period - during the 1920s.
Edit: A lot of these hcs were heavily influenced by @hetaestoniahq - we have spent hours talking about this stuff, so not mentioning him would be a massive discredit. Also, go follow him, his takes on Estonia's character are actually perfect.

NEXT STOP, MOSCOW BALCONY:
@UKikaski
reports that RuZZian Col. Eduard Shandura, [ex] commanding officer of the RU 205th Separate Cossack Motor Rifle Brigade, has been relieved for cause.
Earlier this summer, in Kherson Oblast, Shandura ordered three DRG companies to the Island North of Kozachi Laheri, where they were Mauled by UKR forces.
Shandura's incompetence, conspicuous even by
RuZZian Army Standards, led to his firing by direct order of the RuZZian Ministry of Defense.
His present location is unknown.
RuZZian TG Channels are reporting the Commander of the Russian 205th Separate Cossack Motor Rifle Brigade, Colonel Eduard Shandura, has been sacked.
His removal, which most certainly required Shoigu's approval, was presumably for negligence related sending at least three DRG companies on a suicide mission to the island north of Kozachi Laheri on the occupied left-bank of Kherson.
I think this is an important firing since several heavy-hitter RuZZian social media influencers, like Romanov and Two Colonels, openly called for this.
And, it may be the first time that a corrupt and incompetent RuZZian Officer was Fired because of Public Opinion and outside pressure on the Kremlin. Freedom of speech, to the extent that it now exists in RuZZia, is a powerful weapon that hopefully one day can have the same impact on Putin and his criminal dictatorship. #OSINT #UkraineRussiaWar️️️️ #UkraineWar #Ukraine #Counteroffensive

What's your ranking of Roman's homoerotic bathroom encounters ?
#4 sad sack wasp trap grace i’m physically not farting because you’re here bathroom encounter- not technically homoerotic but it’s preddy gay regardless so i’ll include it. 3.5/10
#3 argestes eduard cocaine bathroom encounter- marks for tiny “i desperately need something from you” roman as well as the nervous ear grab. eduard is intimidating and his very presence shrinks roman in a delectable fashion. he even states he’s embarrassed at one point. could be more homoerotic though, didn’t quite hit the gas. 6/10
#2 too much birthday lukas mattson peepee bathroom encounter- points for piss. he shook his hand after it was on his dick that’s an indirect penis grab. called him a genius. they’re both extremely almost debilitatingly bizarre they’d make a great couple. we then have the coveted “i ream people like oranges” interaction in the next episode which further elevates this scene upon a second watch. 9/10
#1 what it takes flirting with a fascist bathroom encounter- a guilty pleasure scene for me. i personally believe roman is turned on by being turned on by an insanely racist fascist. disgusting fun. no sinking any lower than that is there. real good eye fucking. they both know what’s up. it’s the only homoerotic bathroom encounter that may have actually ended in a handjob so 10/10
honorable mention tern haven you know what it is already gerri kellman bathroom encounter- i don’t even need to say anything it’s not homoerotic but it more than deserves to make an appearance on this list. 1938499295848/10
#i got carried away#but where’s the lie there isn’t one#i hope this was as extensive and thorough as you hoped it would be!#thannnnnnnks for askin! really part of da club now 😎#succession#roman roy#romelukas#ask#jackie talks#oh and i docked a point for the lukas piss scene bc we don’t see roman piss :/#i got some Ideas abt the fascist bathroom encounter btw#the short of it is this: roman is effed up#but u didn’t need me to tell u that did u

‘The Rag Picker’ as painted in 1869 by French painter Eduard Manet (1832-83)). During the 1860s, Manet undertook a series of pictures portraying street characters from the neighbourhood of vacant lots and construction sites that surrounded his studio. ‘The Rag Picker’ was perhaps the masterpiece of the series, it represents the nineteenth-century equivalent of today’s homeless man pushing a shopping cart full of tin cans. With a stick in hand and a sack slung over his shoulder, the chiffonnier salvages rags from the garbage for sale to paper manufacturers. Ragpickers were a source of fascination and fear as emblems of the Paris of earlier in the nineteenth century.

Effervescent
Chapter 1: Hit the Sack
Pairing: DenEst/OzEst (side NedVia)
Warnings: lemon, terrible comedy
Summary: Eduard's furious when he finds his friend has written his phone number on a bathroom wall. He's also horny enough to give it a try, but when things get serious, he's found he might've lead two different guys on.
Notes: Co-written with @tikola-nesla First of all, we're so sorry for this terrible piece of shit. But also not because this was hilarious to write.
This story follows Ed and his pathetic love life.
...
Jānis - Latvia
Tomas - Lithuania
Adriaan - Netherlands
Gunner - Denmark
Logan - Australia
Read on AO3
...
Eduard was livid. He was going to kill Jānis for this!
For once, his weak little arms didn’t struggle against the stupidly heavy door to the men’s bathroom, and he burst inside in a flurry of fury. He practically punched open the door to the furthest stall, where his number had been written under ‘call for a good time’. His hand shook with rage as he took out a marker and crossed out the word ‘call’.
Next to it, he wrote ‘text’.
He knew he should cross out his number instead, but to be fair, he was going through a dry spell. A dry spell that had lasted the five years since graduating university. He’d take whatever sleezeball creeps responded to these kinds of messages at this point. Honestly, it beat genuinely wondering if he should count that tapeworm as the last time someone had been inside him, or wearing turtlenecks that were a little too small to get the feeling of being choked.
And it wasn’t like this was some shady nightclub, it was the Kiek in de Kök Fortification Museum. Who would look for hookups in the bathroom of a fortification museum? Someone super weird, probably. Or an old guy. Maybe a sugar daddy to pay off his student loans. Or a mysterious, rich tourist from a far off land, and they’d have a fling before parting ways forever.
Or, he’d end up talking to someone, getting along, then sending a picture of his face and not getting a reply. Or not even waiting for that and getting bored of his messages. He wasn’t good with people.
Still, with that little incident taken care of, he marched back outside to join his friends. Maybe they could have a normal day out now without being reminded of how sad and lonely his life was?
“I was just trying to help,” Jānis mumbled into his jumper when Eduard joined them.
“You have a really weird definition of ‘help’,” Eduard commented.
“We just want the best for you,” said Tomas, trying to play the peacemaker like he wasn’t equally as horrified at Jānis’ barefaced cheek and terrible attempt at helping his friend get laid. There was no helping Eduard and everyone knew it.
“You mean like how you went with me to the hospital to get that tapeworm removed? Oh wait!”
“We have our limits.”
“Yeah,” said Jānis, “and didn’t your cousin go with you instead?”
“Yes! And he livetweeted the entire thing! Now I’m known as that loser who was so lonely and depressed he ate raw herring until he got a tapeworm.”
“It’s not like we fed you the herring ourselves,” Jānis wrinkled his nose, “don’t blame us for your life being a mess.”
Before Eduard could even think of a reply, Tomas stepped between them again. “That’s all well and good,” he began like he’d stopped listening since he last spoke, “but I think we’ve left Feliks on his own for long enough, so we should go find him. Also I came here to look at a big fort, not talk about how lonely Eduard is. We do that enough.”
...
And in the hour or so it took the four of them to look around Kiek in de Kök, Eduard received two messages, both of which were dick pics.
“Let me see!” cried Jānis, craning his neck. Eduard pushed him away and held his phone out of reach. It wasn’t hard.
“If you wanted to see dicks, you shouldn’t have been born a manlet.”
“I’m dick-height sometimes actually. You’ve seen my boyfriend.”
Eduard nodded; he totally wasn’t jealous. “The skyscraper?” His boyfriend was so tall, and toned and handsome. He seemed like a complete dick, though, to everyone except Jānis. Eduard had met Adriaan a few times, and even just thinking about the guy made him softer than a saveloy. But around Jānis, he was gentle and caring, writing him poetry and sending him flowers from his own garden.
“Yup, and, oh, I love going up that elevator.”
“Slut.” Eduard got to looking at his dick pic collection. They were both very nice. Bigger than his, of course, but he was a bottom so he didn’t mind so much.
“Nice,” said Feliks, peeking over his shoulder, “what’re you gonna reply with?”
“Honestly? No idea.”
“Hmm, they’re not that big,” said Tomas, and everyone looked at him in bewilderment. “What? Can’t be more than, like… ten inches.”
Jānis looked at him. “If I wasn’t in a relationship, and we weren’t distantly related, I would be on that dick like-”
“Please,” Tomas begged, “don’t finish that sentence.”
“-like dust on Ed’s condom box.”
“Hey!” Why did everything always come back to roasting him?
“You can’t see the logo on it anymore. It’s like an old relic.”
“Like one of those nerdy boxes Tomas buys at the medieval fair,” said Feliks, “the old-worldy handmade ones.”
“You like medieval fairs too,” Tomas mumbled.
“I never spent €50 on an empty wooden box.”
“It had a nice pattern!”
“What do you even keep in it?”
“A second, smaller box.”
“And in that?”
“My copy of Space Jam.”
“You have shelves!”
“Well, I had to keep something in there!”
No one noticed Jānis reaching for Eduard’s phone until it was too late and he’d snatched it away. He typed as he dodged Eduard’s attempts to get it back, and it wasn’t until he’d copied and pasted a paragraph into both DMs that Eduard could finally see what he’d wrote:
I want you to take that dick and fuck me until I can’t walk and have to wheelchair myself through Old Tallinn to the nearest hospital and my bussy looks like the Ülemiste Tunnel. Nut in every hole then my face until I’m numb physically instead of emotionally.
“What the fuck, Jānis?”
Tomas craned his neck over Eduard’s shoulder. “You’ve gotta admit he’s got game. Just... Not sure what game he's playing.”
“I want to die.”
“You always want to die,” said Feliks.
Jānis shrugged. “Confidence is key.”
“Is this how you bagged the skyscraper?”
“God no. That would be terrible. I talked to him like a person.”
Eduard gave him a withering look, then frantically texted the first guy back.
I’m so sorry, my friend sent that.
“Dude,” Feliks told him, reading over his shoulder, “You couldn’t have sounded more like you were lying if you tried.”
“It’s the truth!”
“So?”
Eduard groaned.
He’d already texted back.
So you don’t wanna get Ülemisted?
Eduard did, he supposed. But it was way too embarrassing to admit that.
Feliks took his phone. “Maybe I do.”
“Hey!” He tried to snatch his phone back, and Feliks elbowed him.
What’s your name?
Gunner, and u?
Eduard.
Well, Eduard, what would you, not your friend, like me to do to you?
Eduard stared at his phone. He had no idea how to put the thoughts in his head into words, and even if he did, he’d be too scared to say anything.
But he had to try.
One sex please?
He fucking hated himself.
Haha I can arrange that.
Eduard didn’t trust people who spelt out their laughs in texts. It was a little menacing. Keysmash like the rest of us, asshole. At least it meant he was a top, he supposed.
You can arrange my insides.
It was an attempt at a flirt, albeit a horrible one.
“Isn’t it “rearrange”,” said Feliks.
“Well, if it’s “rearrange”, who arranged them the first time?”
“Fucking virgin.”
“I’m not! I’ve done many sex! I did one yesterday!”
“When?” asked Tomas, “we were playing Dungeons and Dragons all day.”
“Your dad was sucking me off under the table.”
“He died six years ago; you went to his funeral.”
“Yeah. I dicked him to death.”
Tomas squinted at him.
“Too far?”
“I just can’t take any claim of you topping seriously.”
“I can top!”
“You can top a cake, maybe,” said Jānis, “if you baked cakes instead of depression bread.”
“I don’t always bake depression bread!”
“You’re depressed therefore every bread you bake is depression bread.”
“I like kneading!”
“Why don’t you knead a pair of titties for once, Eduard?”
“Gonna knead your mum’s titties if you keep talking shit.”
Tomas swatted at him. “She’s dead too!”
“And?”
“How do you have friends?” asked Feliks.
“I don’t, really,” admitted Eduard, “you guys were a miracle.”
“I don’t know if I should be flattered you consider me a miracle,” Tomas told him, “Or offended you don’t consider me a friend.”
“I do. Miracle friends. Miracles are friendships and times I need to use a condom.”
“Maybe you can use some now,” said Jānis.
“Jānis! We’re outside!”
“You know what I mean.”
“Impromptu water balloons?”
“Ed doesn’t, cause he’s a loser,” said Feliks. “Anyway, any replies yet?”
Eduard checked his phone. The second guy had replied.
Fuk u for making me read all that.
Then a second later.
Still down 2 smsah tho.
That message doesn’t represent me. That was my friend.
Haha i beleev u!
If the guy’s dick wasn’t so big, Eduard would’ve blocked him for his atrocious spelling.
Tomas looked over his shoulder. “How did he manage to spell your phone number?”
“I’m sure he has a good personality.”
I wanna put my cids in your shitter and bread you like a whorse.
“Or… Not, but his dick is massive.”
“Ed, please be sensible.”
“No! I want dick!”
“He’s illiterate!”
“I’m getting my hole ruined by him, not giving him a spelling test.”
Tomas looked like he’d very much like to go home. Eduard wanted to go home too, but only so he could slap his nuts thinking about those massive dicks.
“Anyway, I got work to catch up on.” He gave a cough; “see you guys later.”
“You have an erection,” Jānis pointed out, tactful as ever.
“Nah, it’s just late. Time to hit the sack.” And then go to sleep.
“Which one?”
“Bye, guys!”
“Which sack, Eduard?”
Eduard dashed off before they could ask him again.

Es increíble cómo uno puede vivir muchísimas vidas y significar cosas muy distintas para mucha gente. Hoy me enteré de que este señor fue ministro... Eso ya es una vida de por sí... Pero mi generación lo conoció como el abuelete mágico de "Redes" (probablemente el único programa que se podía ver en la TV pública junto a "Metrópolis"), un señor que se encargó de colarse en nuestros salones y despertar una infinidad de curiosidades y preguntas, algunas que yacían dormidas en nuestro interior, y otras que jamás hubiésemos pensado que existían. Gracias a él conocí a Oliver Sacks, entre muchas otras cosas, y estoy seguro de que a muchos de vosotros, como a mí, os encendió alguna llamita que otra en el cocotero. Gracias por mantenernos curiosos y aportar al saber general, a esa sed de conocimiento que nunca se sacia y por ser un ejemplo de que, hasta el último día, se sigue aprendiendo. Rest in Peace Eduard Punset. Óleo sobre Tela x @javiercordobaart http://bit.ly/2Qi4WzU

Notes: Hello! This is my @aphsecretsanta gift for @aph-taiesh !! Since you asked for Sweden/Prussia, Denmark/Prussia and Sweden/Denmark, I decided to combine all! There’s also a hint for Lithuania/Estonia, love me!! (/owo)/ There’s no Denmark/Lithuania, tho... e3e Oh well, I used all the prompts given. I hope you like it~!
Winter
They met in winter during the holidays.
Gilbert had a fight with his father and had therefore refused to return home during the Christmas festivities. He was stubborn, in fact; he was in the third year of Archeology, despite his father being against it, but he liked it. His father, a fine army sergeant, would like his son to follow in his footsteps, but Gilbert didn't want to. He wanted to explore the world and the past, to discover the mysteries of the world ...
So he was much better off in the dormitory, rested, not listening to his father talking about his bad choices and comparing him to his younger brother, Ludwig, with his perfect grades as if Gilbert didn't have good grades too; he was one of the best on the course and seemed to be the favorite student of Professor Theodotus.
Distracted by his thoughts, the red-eyed albino was startled when the lights went off abruptly. With his heart pounding, Gilbert soon realized that it had been a blackout, caused by the snow falling outside.
... Blizzard?
This was bad; without energy, there was no warmth in his room. There was a fireplace in the living room, but he didn't know if he could use it...
Oh, he didn't want to know, he was going there. Using the light of his cell phone, he put on a warmer outfit and picked up a blanket, full of bird drawings.
He went into the living room and, to his surprise, two students, both blond and tall, were already lighting the fireplace.
"Berwald, see what I told you?" One of them said. "My plan worked.~"
"I never said it won't work..."
"Shhhh...! Let me brag a little!"
Gilbert said nothing, merely sat on the couch and curled up in his blanket. The blondes noticed.
"Hello!" Exclaimed the more extrovert; now Gilbert had noticed in his blue eyes. "You stuck around too?"
"Ah yes!"
"I'm Simon and he's Berwald."
"Pleasure..." murmured Berwald; by the light of the fireplace, he looked scary...!
"Don't worry, he's just a little shy!" Simon laughed, fiddling with a sack. "What is your name?"
"Gilbert."
Simon took a packet of marshmallows out of the bag and held it out.
"Who's wants to eat?"
The other two agreed, causing Gilbert to leave the couch and join the Nordic. They were well together, and Gilbert could tell that Berwald was blushing; of embarrassment, perhaps. As if they were animals behind the food, Toris and Eduard, his classmates in History, appeared in the room. As soon as they saw each other, Toris and Gilbert exchanged rivalries with each other; they didn't like each other.
"Oh, do you know each other?" Asked Simon.
"Unfortunately," they said in chorus. Eduard only shrugged, already accustomed to the friction between them.
"Join us.~"
Eduard and Toris sat down next to Simon and ate the marshmallows, cuddled with the warmth of the fireplace. They kept talking and telling stories (and arguing...) until the light came back.
Spring
Simon jumped up onto Berwald's bed, clutching his pillow tightly. Then he looked knavish to the other.
"Darling," he began, in a half-playful and provocative tone. "Did you like that so much of the flowers I bought you?~"
"I... liked them."
The Swede stared at the jar he had bought only to place that bunch of red roses Simon had offered on Valentine's Day. For his part, Berwald bought him a big bear (he knew very well that Simon liked stuffed animals, though he didn't admit it...).
"I'm the best boyfriend in the world, right?"
"Don't exaggerate."
Simon turned to the other side, staring at the white wall.
"Hey, Teddy Bear, what do you think about Gil?"
Berwald didn't answer soon; since they met him, they went on many adventures together. They decided not to stay in the dormitory full time; they waged snowball wars, made snowmen, went skiing, and almost lost the albino in the snow; the German had to be wearing white clothes! It was fun while it lasted; Simon and Berwald did well to stay in the dormitory and not return home.
But then spring came.
Feelings came.
Without the white bottom of the snow, Gilbert looked more charming; exuded the comfortable warmth spring had to offer and bewitched anyone. His presence was beginning to become essential in the life of the couple.
From the first day that Simon and Berwald considered him handsome, however, they began to find him attractive, more freed from the warm clothes... As if some insect had bitten and awakened them to reality.
"I'm confused," confided the glasses' owner.
"Me too…"
Summer
That heat was too much for North Europeans.
Gilbert had convinced Simon and Berwald to have a picnic, but they didn't expect it to be so hot. Not even under the shade of the tree did the heat leave them alone.
It was, as might be expected, the albino; he was covered in sunscreen, and yet he felt it would burn at any moment.
"I'm a dyiiiiiiiing!"
"It was your idea," Simon complained, lying on the towel, with his head on Berwald's lap. "Suffer."
"How much love do you have for me!" Gilbert continued his drama without noticing that he had caught Simon off guard; this took time to respond. The German thought it was because of the heat; the blame was always on the heat.
"I have lots of love for you!"
"Iiiih, be careful what you say or Berwald will get jealous...!"
"Oh, I also feel the same..." Berwald began hesitantly.
Gilbert laughed, a believer who was only a joke of the Swede and oblivious to the feelings warmer than the time they were inside Berwald. The Dane turned, pressing his face into her boyfriend's belly. He knew well what Berwald felt; it was the same as him. That damned anxiety turned into butterflies in his belly that made him excited to see Gilbert's face, to hear his voice, to make him laugh and smile.
Berwald felt it, too.
Close to Gilbert, he didn't know what to say and to remain serious; it was like the first time he'd fallen in love with Simon. That funny but annoying feeling that made his cheeks red whenever he saw him.
They were in love and without knowing what to do.
Autumn
The rain fell, silent and solitary. Gilbert stared at the slowly growing puddles, drop by drop. He heard his name and turned his red umbrella; he looked at Simon and Berwald, each with his own umbrella.
Throughout that year, Gilbert had noticed that the three had grown up, changed. He didn't understand that change, but he felt it in him and in them.
"How homesick are you, right?" Gilbert commented; he was in the fourth year, the last he had to break before he graduated.
"Yeah," agreed Berwald, adjusting his scarf.
"And to think it's the last year..." Simon said, preparing to leap into a pool of water. "Time passes quickly!"
"Don't do that."
"How bland, Berwald!"
Gilbert laughed, now also wanting to jump into a puddle.
"Hey, Gil, we have something to tell you," Simon began, passing his hand through his hair.
"Huhum ..."
"What?"
The Norse looked at each other; they had to say or they would go mad.
"We love you."
