Cocktails and an Irish WIP Wednesday

Happy WIP Wednesday Team! I know it’s stab Caesar Day, but it will shortly be St. Paddy’s Day and given my Irish roots I decided to dip my toe into writing some fae lore. While torturing myself with this I managed to pull @luckydragon10 in with me! We’ve both crafted some Gaelic stories for your enjoyment with a nice side bonus of monster fucking, because why not?

Silvered Perceptions is getting an update tomorrow! Because of that you all are getting a cocktail recipe here!

The High Horse

Chill a Martini glass using ice and set aside.

1 1/2 ounces aged rum

1/2 ounce kirsch brandy

1/2 ounce cherry liqueur

1/2 ounce sweet vermouth

2 dashes Angostura bitters

Combine in a mixing glass with ice. Stir mixture until well chilled, 30-45 seconds. Strain into chilled Martini glass and garnish with a brandied cherry.

As for our Irish Snippet! I have wandered into uncharted territories here. @dr-lemurr is all to blame here for tossing an awesome prompt into the KP Kink Meme. So for this fic you’ve got a new flavor from me, Kim/Chay! Here’s a little taste test for you before it gets posted on Friday with Nemi’s beasty.

Without further ado, I give you a sample of The Death of Autumn:

All around him, autumn is slowly dying, the frost creeping in and leeching the life away from plants that will go dormant over the winter. Bugs no longer hum in the air and animals have gone sleepy and quiet. The silence of winter is starting to descend.

The tug in Chay’s gut lights up as he thinks, like a compass pointing him due north. He scrambles up, smearing mud on his sweater and knocking dried leaves from the seat of his pants. He plods off in the direction his instincts are calling. The song that he created with Kim is humming underneath his skin, and Chay has to let it out.

It doesn’t take long for him to come to a clearing. Chay knows this part of the woods. In the summer this field is full of flowers, now it is a dullish brown. He can see a figure standing across the way, shrouded in shadows despite the fact that the sun has not yet fully set. Chay steps out into the field and tries to get a better look at the figure. In doing so he freezes in place, stunned by what he sees.

It’s been unraveling in his head the whole day, clues and hints that he hadn’t put together at the time. The things Kim was doing that didn’t add up, or couldn’t be explained. All of it pointed to the fact that Kim was not the human he masqueraded as. Chay is now certain that the boy he met a few weeks ago is in fact fae. As he approaches the shadowed figure, he knows it’s Kim.

Chay isn’t afraid. He’s never truly been afraid of Kim, even when he should have been. But this isn’t Kim. This isn’t the awkward man who watched him in the woods. This isn’t the man who has kept Chay company while Porsche is missing. This is something else entirely.

If you need a little more Irish in your life go check out Nemi’s little snippet! Sealed with a Kiss, I both love and hate the pun...

As we enter Over the Garden Wall season, remember: Friends don't let friends pigeonhole Over the Garden Wall as being about death and the afterlife and Dante's Inferno.

#over the garden wall #otgw #autumn #fall #obviously there are shades of death and memory and the grave in otgw #but i don't think that the unknown is the afterlife and i think that saying 'otgw is about the afterlife' is too reductive #otgw is about living in the space of myth and folklore and stories #otgw is about characters living in cycles they are unwilling or unable to escape from #otgw is about our relationship to our loved ones: brothers and daughters and dearly departed #otgw is - and i cannot emphasize this enough - about the importance of frogs #otgw is whatever you see in it and whatever you take away from it and don't you dare take that away from someone #10k

Another outfit showcase! this time for spring-summer 🥰

#nips photos #personal #this set took forever because I'm a summer hater and find it so hard to make outfits I won't boil to death in #you may say Natalia these just look like more autumn outfits and to this I say spring is just allergy autumn and summer is sweaty autumn #and I also happen to dislike pretty much any color on me so bear with me #I have a few more ideas that didn't fit in the post so I may do another later #the pretty curls are removable hair extensions btw and the shops I buy from are the same as my last outfit post!
