Heart of Stone chapter 26
Douxie, Jim and Claire deal with the fact they are responsible for Strickler’s curse, as well as finding out who Deya is and getting back to their own time.
But not before taking part in the Battle of Killahead bridge.
A fairly short chapter, but I hope one that is still acceptable. Likely future chapters are going to be shorter than before, with a few exceptions.

Selene: "I'm an 80s kid!" Claire: "Alright, but are we talking 1980s, or...?" Selene: :)
An official introduction to Selene Acies (she/her), a divination witch born 1887 and forever nineteen since 1906. She can tell people's future's by studying their auras, and on very rare occasions, can also tell prophecies (though they tend to be indecipherable gibberish). Selene also has an interest in astrology and astronomy :)
She also knows these guys:
Tumblr media
(Zoe and Douxie's outfits are based off this Tenyai post.)
More plot under the cut:
Selene grew up in England for a good chunk of her childhood before being sent to southern France with her mother for...reasons. Reasons that involved her mother, her mother’s merchant husband, and a wizard. Selene met Zoe when she was twelve, in 1889. Which was good considering Selene's powers were really emerging. Zoe was the one who helped Selene figure out how to tame her magic using a book she "borrowed" from Douxie.
Unfortunately, Zoe had to leave on business with Douxie, and shenanigans occur that leave Selene alone. But huzzah gaining immortality through these plot-relevant events!
But Selene and Zoe run into each other again in 1918 on a boat headed toward New York City. Selene gets to properly meet Douxie and Archie, and the gang spends the 20s, 30s, and 40s together. Once WWII ended, the gang split up for a long time, but met back in Arcadia Oaks. In present-day Arcadia, Selene works at the planetarium, and has her own online astrology business.
Selene is very open and honest, so much so she may come off as blunt. She can be straightforward and take things a bit literally. But she always has a 'positive' attitude about it. She comes off as laid-back and carefree, but it masks a general indifference to the state of the world.
Living for over a hundred years and having the power of prophecy, Selene has the idea that everything happens for a reason, because it's destiny. She hasn't seen someone 'break destiny' before, and to Selene, the future is set in stone and immutable. Douxie challenges her on this idea, but Selene is indifferent. At this point, she'd rather spend time with people she cares about and have fun because the one Proper Prophecy she's ever had tells her that the world as they know it will be lost to time, and Selene doesn’t think anything can change that.
Random tidbits:
Zoe has always been a sort of mentor to Selene, like how Douxie had Claire. They get on when it comes to music, and Selene goes to Zoe for tech help because stars know this girl still doesn’t understand some modern technology.
Douxie and Selene got on for a while, but over time, they grew apart. Douxie believes that though they might not be remembered in history, they can still make a difference and help people. Selene doesn’t see the point in trying.
On new moons, Selene loses her ability to read people's futures.
On full moons, Selene has a higher chance of having a Proper Prophecy (they usually end up just being gibberish).
Selene has had chronic migraines from her divination powers. Her rose-colored glasses are charmed to limit her sight (ha) and help control them.
Douxie has his vambrace and Zoe has her wand…Selene conducts magic through her earrings. The current pair she has are actually just the original earrings her mother gave her with the dangly stars added.
Selene's love life is...complicated. This is plot-relevant.
Selene’s family is…also complicated. This is also plot-relevant.
Selene is big into swing dance, but hates waltz.
And last but not least, here's a character playlist. You might understand her character a bit more through this.

Chapter 62
---
“I think you’re ready to give this a shot,” Douxie says.
“Uh, sure …” Krel says as he gets to his feet, too jittery to keep sitting and very uncertain of his readiness.
“You got this, love,” Douxie says, sounding 100% confident in Krel.
“And if something happens or you need some help or some guidance, Douxie is right here,” Archie adds.
Krel takes a deep breath and nods. He then carefully picks up the Cryonium.
“Scrutoro.”
He pictures the runes like Douxie directed and arranges them into the runic circle, which forms around the cube in his hand. It takes a lot of concentration to do, which tells him just how much Douxie would have had to have practiced these in the beginning. Slowly, things come together until suddenly, there’s a flood of information.
This is deep magic, a tiny piece but immensely powerful, and while it sort of feels like his Arcanum it also feels like … like the other two Arcana. But also, not like them. The only way he can describe is their three Arcana but to the left.
It’s so powerful that as he prods further, the information flows into his head, he can feel the sheer immensity of magic, and it builds, and builds, and builds.
And then something prods back.

This crossover brothers collage of Bob the Cat and Archie was inspired by Serpanade-Toons's DeviantArt drawing that has these two cats as brothers in her multiverse. She even gave Bob his own "Dragon Cat" form.

Zouxie Week 2022: Day 4 - Motorcyles
"She's Beautiful"
Read on AO3
Douxie sat behind Zoe, the two of them precariously balanced on the bike. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he leaned forward slightly, resting his head on her shoulder and tucking his knees up. “Is now a bad time to mention that I’ve never been on one of these before?” She ignited the engine silently with a wave of her wand. “It’s like riding a bike. You were a newspaper delivery boy back in the 40s right?” He nodded as she slipped on a pair of black gloves. “It’s just like that, just a bit different to steer. And lucky for you, you’re not the one steering.” “Still not sure if I should be comforted by that.”
A/N: Late submission because I was in finals purgatory. But I'm back with a short thing for Day 4, and I'm currently writing Day 5.
Word Count: 1693
Tagging: @moppetwithamanbun and @emsprovisions for Zouxie Week 2022!
----
“She’s beautiful.”
“Douxie, are you sure this is a wise idea?”
“Oh, Archie, I’m certain of it. I think I’m in love. I’d pour my life’s savings into her to make sure she’s well and cared for.”
“You’re ‘in love’ with a strange contraption.”
Douxie swept his hand over the leather seat and turned back to a humanoid Archie with an astonished look on his face. “She’s a BMW, thank you very much, Arch. And a beautiful one at that too,” he gushed. He knelt down to examine the motorcycle and all of its nooks and crannies. “The new 1924 BMW R32.”
“There’s a hell of a lot of power in her. She’s got a 494 cc boxer twin. Nice shaft drive too. She can run nearly 60 miles per hour, which is kinda crazy when you think about it. With the new braking system, one should have less trouble stopping her. But you don’t look like the type who’d be able to take her out on the streets and manage not to crash.”
The wizard looked up, laughing. “You sure sound like you know your onions-” He gasped. A woman with short mousy brown hair, a streak of pink tucked behind her ear, and bright blue eyes looked down at him. Her arms were crossed, the sleeves of her shirt rolled up and a cap pulled low over her face. In her pockets were a few different sized wrenches, one of which seemed to be engraved with Elder Futhark runes. Despite her demeanor, she looked at the young man with a friendly smirk.
“Zoe! You work here?” Douxie chatted excitedly as he stood, readjusting his unbuttoned waistcoat. He stumbled upwards, and Archie caught him before he slammed into the young woman. As he stepped forward for a hug, Zoe backed away, raising her grease covered hands cautiously.
“Watch the grease-”
His face fell while Archie cleaned his glasses and put them back on. The latter’s golden eyes widened in disbelief. “Merlin’s beard. It really is you, Ms. Ashildr!”
“Yeah, yeah, it’s me, alright?” She rolled her eyes, but there was no bite to her bark. A genuine smile played at the corners of her lips as she looked on at the two before her. “It’s sure been a while, hasn’t it?”
“A while?” Douxie waved his hands furiously, causing nearby men examining other motorcycles to cast a glance at the trio. “Zoe, we haven’t seen you since…it must’ve been 1889? In Paris? The tower they put up there! Yes, we visited the new tower, and then we went back across the channel, and we lost track of you..I thought you were still in England! In fact,” he added, pointing to himself and Archie, “we only got here a few weeks ago.”
Archie groaned, “And that is why I’ve been telling him not to try and spend all his meager savings on a motorbike.” He caught a glimpse at the look in the witch and wizard’s eyes and groaned again. Waving them off, he straightened his tie and turned towards the other bikes in the shop. “I’ll take a look around for anything remotely affordable. If not, we’ll just go grocery shopping.” He cast a knowing look over his shoulder. “If you two get into any trouble, I’m expecting salmon for dinner, Douxie.”
While Douxie let out affronted noises of astonishment, Zoe laughed. She took Douxie’s hand into her own, fingers calloused and still covered in grease, guiding him outside of the shop. He felt heat flushing his cheeks, turning his face towards the ground.
Stepping outside into the busy Chicago street, Zoe handed him a blackened cloth to wipe his hands on and stuffed hers into her pockets. He nodded sheepishly, eyes still trained on the ground as he cleaned his hands. She raised an eyebrow. “Not that chatty anymore? Are you really this shy after not having seen me for a few decades, or are you just mad about me making a jab at your driving skills? Or rather,” she chuckled, “the lack thereof.”
“Ha, ha, very funny,” he shot back. He snuck a quick glance. She looked incredibly confident with her arms crossed like that. Very pretty. Her eyes met his. He quickly turned his gaze across the street to a very attention-grabbing and not at all boring law firm office. “And I’m sure you’ve got excellent driving skills.”
“I can get from point A to point B in one piece,” she shrugged, looking at a woman dragging her child away from an ice cream parlor. “I’ve been a menace on the race course.”
With a jolt, Douxie turned to her excitedly. “You’ve been racing?”
She nodded, trying (and failing) to not come off as ridiculously proud. “Raced under the name Xander on a few different Harley-Davidsons. Won a few times too.”
“I missed a lot, haven’t I?” She nodded in response, smiling wryly. His brow furrowed slightly. “It’s been so long, Zoe. I haven’t heard from you in ages.”
“Tell me about it.”
“No, seriously.” She turned and met his gaze. His face was strangely unreadable, unusual for someone as vocal as Douxie about his emotions. There was a strange combination of worry and relief in his eyes, but also something else that Zoe couldn’t quite place. “I haven’t heard from you since before the turn of the century. And during the Great War…Zoe, I wasn’t sure if you were even alive.
Realization struck her across the face. Her joking manner fell away. “Oh, gods. Douxie, I-”
“Arch and I came to the States looking for a fresh start after the war. It’s taken us so long because England is in shambles.” His voice cracked as tears came to his eyes. “The war devastated us. I fought because, for some stupid, stupid reason, I thought I could find you there. I spent years on the battlelines, fighting to survive, not only for England, but also for you. If I made it out of that war alive, I wanted to find you. And yet, I found you here, four, five years later. In the States. Zoe, I almost didn’t recognize you because of your accent. It was your wand that gave it away.
“You couldn’t even be bothered to write a letter? To try and find us?” He was growing angry at this point, years of worry and dread boiling over into frustration. “Why did you disappear after Paris, Zoe? Where were you? Where did you go?”
She knitted her eyebrows, making to argue back, but then she paused. She sighed, nodding and stepping to the side as to let a customer into the motorcycle shop. Her eyes lit up, and she turned back to her old friend.
“How about I take you for a ride?”
“Zoe, don’t change the topic,” he moaned, “please.”
“I’ll explain it to you, if you get on the bike.” A rebellious smile. “We can take the R32.”
-
“To be completely clear, Casperan, if this thing comes back with so much as a scratch, my boss will kill me.”
“I don’t know why you’re telling me this. You’re the one who snuck it out of the shop in the first place. Not to mention that you’re driving.”
Zoe laughed, “Right. And it’s your job to keep us from dying.”
Douxie sat behind Zoe, the two of them precariously balanced on the bike. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he leaned forward slightly, resting his head on her shoulder and tucking his knees up. “Is now a bad time to mention that I’ve never been on one of these before?”
She ignited the engine silently with a wave of her wand. “It’s like riding a bike. You were a newspaper delivery boy back in the 40s right?” He nodded as she slipped on a pair of black gloves. “It’s just like that, just a bit different to steer. And lucky for you, you’re not the one steering.”
“Still not sure if I should be comforted by that.”
The engine sputtered a little, and she made to give it a whack before thinking better of it and tapping it gently with her wand. Pink sparks flew from the metal as the R32 came to life. She looked over her shoulder at him. “Just hold onto me, and everything will be fine.”
He hesitated before finally nodding, and she took off down the street.
It was magical. The bike was made by very human hands, but the speed and the exhilaration of it all brought out a euphoric feeling Douxie hadn’t felt in ages. It was like when he first made fire in his hands from the energy around him. His nerves crackled, and he felt his soul being pulled forward to an unknown destination.
Yet, at long last, he finally felt like he was home.
Zoe masterfully made her way out of the city and onto the roads beyond alongside the Illinois River. For a time, they were quiet, simply basking in the thrill of being on the road together after decades apart. The motorcycle thrummed as they kept driving to the point where the road met the sky.
They’d keep driving, and driving, and driving.
At one point they’d stop, the bike having run out of gas miles ago, fueled only by Zoe’s magic and will.
They sit on the side of the road, looking out over the river. And for hours and hours, they’d talk of the things they’d missed, the moments they had lost, time they could have spent together wasted apart.
Here, where the road met the sky, Douxie would look at Zoe. Her laugh and charm. He was still slightly resentful. But as they spoke and the daylight faded away, he felt his heart warm, the long quiet embers catching aflame once again.
Sure, she had grown into an American accent and slight rasp. Her once long brown hair was cut short. But she still laughed the same way. She still punched his arm playfully and knitted her brows together when he teased her for her height. She still had lightning in her eyes, bright as her wit.
She was beautiful.
