Dragon Fighting by Christina Saint Marche Via Flickr: "He who fights too long against Dragons become a Dragon himself." - Nietzsche Picture by Owen Jones

It’s the season for decorating! If you are looking for something different or need inspiration, why not study The Grammar of Ornament from 1865? Harvard’s Mirador viewer lets you view the entire book! https://iiif.lib.harvard.edu/manifests/view/drs:425343599$1i (Link also available in our bio.)

The Fine Arts Library owns an original folio edition of Owen Jones’s (1809–1874)work, The Grammar of Ornament, one of the most influential color plate books on decorative design and ornament of the nineteenth century.

In the opening chapter, Jones wrote that one of the universal qualities among humankind is the desire to make beautiful things. Jones, an architect by training, assembled more than one hundred plates illustrating patterns and ornament from around the world and over different periods of time. Many of his illustrations were based on what he saw in museums and private collections in England at that time and in the Universal Exhibitions held in London in 1851 and 1855, as well as from his personal travels in Europe and parts of the Middle East.

The Grammar of Ornament employed the latest and most sophisticated printmaking innovations. The readers at that time must have noticed the wide range of colors in Jones’ lithographs. In color lithography, each color is printed from a separate lithographic stone, and the time, commercial lithographic printing usually included a set of only three or four colors. Knowing that color played a crucial role in ornament, Jones employed assistants and set out to create lithograph prints that required as many as twenty lithographic stones. The result was this beautiful publication.

Demonology and the Tri-Phasic Model of Trauma: An Integrative Approach by Nnm (T) [Rated Teen +, 99423 words]

As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

--His clothing was expensive and stylish; --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne; --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;” --He looked angry; --He was wearing sunglasses.

What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

Reflect What You Are by Owenjones (T) [Rated teen +, 7510 words]

It's a year after the almost-apocalypse. Aziraphale makes Crowley go see a therapist.

“Have you been having any issues in particular?”

“Issues? Such as?”

“You tell me.” She could tell he had something on the tip of his tongue.

Crowley sat for a second, then blurted out, “He thinks I’ve been sleeping too much. He’s worried.”

An Angel and a Demon Walk Into a Therapist’s Office by dragonimp (T) [Rated Teen +, 16,359 words]

“Gentlemen,” she started. “I have to be frank, here. You both seem very genuine in wanting my services, but you’re . . .” She gestured with her pen. “You’re both talking around everything. If I don’t start getting some honesty—well, I’m not sure I can really help you.” The two of them shared a look. “Well,” Mr Fell said. “I suppose it’s time to be honest.”

Happy reading!

From Owen Jones's "The Grammar of Ornament," printed in 1856. Jones was an influential 19th century designer and architect, who is well known for his work with patterns and color theory.

Bookcase door panel, Owen Jones, c. 1866, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Decorative Arts, Textiles and Sculpture

door (keyhole on L edge) with scroll and foliate inlaid design; floral forms in corners. Architecture - Fragment After extensive study travels throughout Egypt, Turkey, and Spain, Owen Jones published Plans, Elevations, Sections and Details of the Alhambra in 1842. This pioneer work illustrated Islamic design motifs and was the first major British work printed in chromolithography. Jones's own adaptation of the Islamic style is best exemplified by the interiors he created for 16 Carlton House Terrace, the London townhouse of scholar and antiquarian Alfred Morrison (1821-1897). Jones and Morrison's passion for Orientalism and craftsmanship, with the help of Morrison's considerable fortune, resulted in a rich layering of ornament throughout the townhouse's first two floors. Nearly every surface was decorated with exotic woods, enamel, marble, or gilding in geometric and naturalistic patterns. This door panel from a bookcase illustrates the archeologically-inspired Pompeian theme of Morrison's study, where he displayed Venetian glass, Chinese vases, and metalwork from his collection. Jones's designs for furniture and paneling, including this piece, were executed by London's most respected cabinetmakers, the firm of Jackson and Graham. Note in this gallery the enameled glass flasks, also designed for Morrison's townhouse by Owen Jones, and the Etruscan table made by Jackson & Graham from Alexander Prignot's design.

Hey there! Do you have more fics with crime/thriller/action? Preferably with the enemies to friends to lovers slow burn! Any au or rating!

Many many thanks!

Hello! Here are some crime/thriller/action fics with various amounts of burn...

Situational Awareness by RainyDayDecaf (T)

“Oi! I said give me your money!”

Aziraphale paused and turned around. Blinked several times and looked behind him in search of anyone else the strangely aggressive man could be addressing. “I’m sorry?”

“You heard me,” the man said, though he sounded far more annoyed than menacing now. Put out, in a way, like his grand and dramatic entrance had been ruined.

Help Could Come from an Unexpected Quarter by Pearl09 (T)

When Crowley tries to help out his mob by secretly going to the bookshop where other members have been disappearing, he certainly wasn't expecting to lose his usual silver-tongue in front of the owner. He certainly wasn't expecting to go back, either, or slowly develop a crush on him, or have his life turned upside down, running from the other members of the mob instead of helping them.

Killing Adam and Eve by Owenjones (M)

Ezra Fell really likes assassins, far more than any of his coworkers think is healthy. But his obsession comes in handy when investigating the newest psychopathic contract killer Anthony.What happens when these people from two opposing worlds find some ineffable connection?

wasteland, baby by john1513 (M)

“Listen. Fell. I...I might, uh, have an idea.” “You do?” Aziraphale said, and hated the hopeful way he said it. “I’ll do it.” “You...won’t like it.” “Will it keep me out of prison?” “Maybe. Maybe the both of us. For now. Ideally.” “Then yes.” Crowley’s expression tightened, and Aziraphale wasn’t sure if Crowley wanted to cry, or laugh. “You really, really won’t like it.” “I’ll like prison less.” He responded plainly. Crowley’s face twisted into something soft at first, just for a second, before searing into a careful little smirk, and Aziraphale knew that smile, that Cheshire cat smile, much too well to not be cautious. “Crowley, dear. What are you doing on the floor?” He cleared his throat. “Angel. Remember when I said you wouldn’t like it? Well, uh, here we are.” His smile grew awkwardly, apologetically, and Aziraphale had a sinking feeling about it. “Angel. Will you marry me?” ----- Crowley and Aziraphale plan a fake marriage to avoid having to testify against each other in court...they get much more than they bargained for.

die for you in secret by parentaladvisorybullshitcontent (T)

“You killed that dignitary. They made me look at the crime scene photos, they think I have some sort of – some sort of hold over you-"

“You do,” Crowley says, voice low and urgent.

In which Crowley is a dangerous killer, and Aziraphale shouldn't want anything to do with him. The problem? He's hopelessly, terribly in love. Killing Eve inspired AU.

Thieves of Mercy by Fyre (T)

The Serpent has a reputation in the art world. A master thief who can wriggle into the tightest spots and extract the most well-protected paintings from the richest people in the world. He’s never even come close to being caught. Except just now. For a crime he didn’t commit. In a museum where he was scoping out his next job. Crowley’s not one to be petty but he’s not about to let anyone frame him, even if the person in question seems to be nothing more than an innocent, wide-eyed art restorer who works in the museum… _________________________________
