Update: Crossed in Love - Chapter 2
Tumblr media
Read Crossed in Love Chapter 2 HERE!
I am terribly sorry for the delay. Life got in the way! I do hope, however, that you will enjoy this even though I feel very unsure about it all. This might be, however, due to my mood today.
Miss Evans is a young woman of one and twenty who completely and utterly knows her mind. She refuses to be ruled by men and is set on the idea of never submitting to a husband’s sceptre. Fleeing her sister’s home to teach at Gryffindor House, a school for genteel young girls, she expects nothing and no one to change her mind for she will only be persuaded to marry when she finds the deepest of love.
His Grace James Potter - Lord of Peverell, son to a Duke and Duchess, owner of a large fortune and soon-to-be a member of the House of Lords - is a man of one and twenty and – by any and all accounts, just ask Mrs Bagshot – far too young to concern himself with thoughts of matrimony. But he – as his friends will attest and to his mother’s delight – finds himself stupidly in love after a mere moment’s acquaintance with Miss Evans.
The joy of being crossed in love so unexpectedly is hard to come by and even harder to act on.
A Jily Regency Romance told in Alexander Strathy’s twelve Quadrille steps: assemblé, jeté, glissade, sissonne, temps levé, chassé, échappé, pirouette, changement de jambe, pas battu, jeté tendu and jeté du côté.

[ star chosen: don quixote . ] 
The mission CHAMBER was assigned to was more of a side mission— to spy on the CEO of a Radianite Supply Company of Kingdom and gather enough intel. Once he completes the mission; Valorant could track down the source of Radianite they use and keep an eye on it until Alpha Earth strikes that location. Hopefully, they could capture their Mirrors by then.
Surprisingly, they were going to watch the performance of Don Quixote the evening Chamber successfully placed a tracker on them. Who was Chamber to deny a free ballet performance?
Dark wine-red and midnight black adorned with velvet roses. That was the performance as the dancers leaped to their hearts' content. Until he caught sight of the CEO making their way backstage.
As Chamber stealth fully followed them, he only reached a dead end. He put his guard down for too long. Reinforcements and security that worked under the CEO came and just as Chamber cursed to all his lucky stars, you came and saved him. One of the main stars of the show.
You were just passing by to redo your makeup, and hopefully, freshen up a bit when you heard voices down the halls. Without a second thought, you ran there, hearing people fighting.
A Sissonne was all it took for Chamber to quickly snap out of it and help you defeat the remaining opponents. His sharp eye took notice of how he moved faster than before, even faster when he steps on Brimstone's Stim Beacon. Your eyes were glowing as well, were you a radiant? Once they were all knocked out, you were about to ask if he was alright—
"Ah, it's almost my turn. Good luck dealing with those Kingdom people." And you left quickly as you arrived. To the center of the stage. You prayed the audience won't notice your slightly fatigued form— and how your makeup was messed up more.
Chamber quickly interrogated the Kingdom workers and teleported them outside the theater one by one, and off he went, the sounds of cheers and claps resonating even outside the theater.
Chamber wished he could watch you perform, but work calls.
When he arrived back at the protocol after dealing with the matter, he immediately spoke about you to Brimstone.
"Ah, the ballet dancer? Yes, Cypher has been keeping eye on them for a while. We'll try to recruit them if even you out of all people are impressed with their performance." Brimstone spoke to himself, already heading out the door to discuss the topic with Cypher.
He hasn't caught your name, but you're on the list of people he's interested in already. And you quickly climbed to Number One when you first fought side by side.
"Do you mind if I join you, mon chou?"
( the elegance you brought out within yourself drew him in closer and closer, a siren luring those who dared to dip their water within the mysterious fray. a venus flytrap, a mouse cage, a chameleon's camouflage, but would you ever consider glancing his way? so for now, he was content watching you arabesque the night away. )
Tumblr media
[ star chosen: hermit in the morning crab at night . ]
CYPHER never minded when the younger agents described him as a hermit. Because he was one; someone who stayed cooped up within the walls of his room. His eyes intently watch the screens for information, all with just a click of his fingertips. Anything new is valuable. Fake information? He can track down the person and continue the lead from there.
Valorant was a hidden organization from the world. The pearl of a clam that could never be opened; The hiders from the seekers that will never be found; The barrier between water and oil that can never be trespassed.
To his surprise, a case has been posted on the internet regarding Jett out of all people. Mirror Jett to be exact while she was in Ascent. People are still hung up on this, of course. But what's the point of crying about spilled milk when they barely know the whole story?
It hasn't been clicked on a lot thankfully, as it is at the bottom of the list. But he needs to remove the article, now.
There were two photos posted side by side— one photo of Mirror Jett in Venice and the other photo of their Jett happily chopping vegetables in Seoul. People will start throwing more comments around if this goes viral.
A headache rippled inside his head, his mask making it feel worse. Of course, she was the one that posted this. Magnificent today wasn't the day he was going to be a hermit.
What do you know? She was a smart one! Thank the heavens, oh of course Cypher wants to shed even more blood! Great, now he needs to remove the article manually by tracking the device and deleting it from there. Fantastic, oh he's so excited :))))
He eventually tracked it down at your local gasoline convenience store, in the middle of nowhere. This was not suspicious.
"Greetings," Cypher tipped his hat at the cashier and walked towards them.
"Greetings to you as well." They stood up, walking to the cashier. "Other Cypher."
"Other Sage." He chuckled darkly, "Remove the article now."
Mirror Sage smiled maliciously, a complete contrast from the smiles he was familiar with. "I'm afraid I cannot. Don't you think everything is playing out, too slowly? I'm getting impatient."
"I'm afraid your patience needs to last a little longer, we aren't giving you our radianite."
Mirror Sage clenched the countertop, her knuckles turning white. "Are you blind?! We need that radianite. Without it—"
"I don't fucking care whatever happens in your universe. You're harming ours for the glory of yours, now let's get to the point and remove that article."
Mirror Sage laughed darkly, bittersweet even. "Then I'm afraid I have to do this."
The ground under Cypher froze, and suddenly Cypher couldn't move his body. Shit shit shit shit this wasn't part of the plan he was supposed to inject poison in her not the other way around—
"Do you like it? I figured that if I could slow others down, why not paralyze them?" Mirror Sage held her knife dangerously close to his neck.
"You know, I was actually having a pleasant conversation with the Sage from my world a few hours ago when I informed her of my plans." Cypher laughed, trying to free himself.
"Oh? You were? Then let me just kill you and let the Cypher from my world inform your Sage the mission went without a hitch."
Cypher waited for the cold metal, only to feel something melting on his shoulders. Hot hot hot hot— wait, he can move his head. Cypher glanced to his shoulder, only to see remains of Sage's knife melted to the ground.
"I just wanted to pee man," You complained behind the two, "I wasn't expecting to stop a murder." The rays of the moon glowed brighter, for what was the moon without the light from the sun?
"Get back unless you want to be blinded!" You yelled at him. "I'm usually weaker during the evening, but I'll be fine! I can travel through the light for a few seconds to escape."
Cypher jumped atop the counter, grabbed all of Mirror Sage's belongings, and ran through the door. He was probably one of the worst at hand-to-hand combat as well.
(1) Cypher successfully deleted the article and came back to base slightly injured, and (2) There was a radiant that could control the waves of light from the sun for just a few seconds, you.
Sage immediately agreed to recruit you when Cypher shared his experience, and oh boy he was excited.
And just when he was about to tour you around, your next words to him were;
"You looked like a crab running for dear life that evening, you know."
( cypher had a habit of preparing two cups of tea. one for him, one for nora. nora. when cypher made the oath to her that day, he swore to always live by it. despite nora constantly reminding him to glance at what was in front of him and to stop dreaming, and just to be happy. he glanced at nora in front of him and she was there. in the past. he was living a dream. in the past. he was happy. in the past.
was nora really alright with him falling in love with someone else when she wasn't there with him...? )
Tumblr media
[ star chosen: university shenanigans . ]
A part of the portal's blueprint was kept at a University that had connections with fracture, and without it, Killjoy couldn't complete the project.
PHOENIX silently shed a tear in his seat, not liking the mission he was sent to one bit. There were more capable agents other than a duelist like him going undercover for a mission. It's going to be a new experience! Jett said, It's going to happen eventually! Jett said.
Phoenix glanced down at the entrance exam sheet on his table and shuddered at the dark memories. Endure it so that you can finally sleep peacefully and finish the mission.
"Phoenix, do you copy?" Killjoy's voice registered in his earpiece.
"Copy, but I can't exactly talk right now..." Phoenix trailed off silently as possible, pretending to write on his exam sheet when a professor glanced his way.
"Look, since today is the entrance exam for the university, security is more heavily located around the auditorium for the student's protection. Only the headmaster knows the existence of the blueprint, and they're in front of you now, aren't they? Now’s your chance."
Phoenix understood the plan immediately, anything to get him out of school. "Um, excuse me, may I be excused to the restroom?"
Then there Phoenix was, going through each corridor and hallway looking for the headmaster's office. Killjoy replaced what the CCTV saw each time Phoenix passed through, to make sure he wouldn't get caught.
Phoenix's eyes lit up in victory once he spotted the door he was looking for all his life. And once he was about to open the door with the gloves he was wearing,
"Thanks for leading me here," Yoru whispered in his ear. Mirror Yoru.
He felt something cold on the side of his head and froze, he couldn't move his arms. Yoru chucked the earpiece off his ear and spoke, "Any last words— GAH!"
The ground under him rumbled. Phoenix never thought a hero could exist until you saved him and made Yoru fly out the window, unfortunately drawing attention. "Go get the blueprints." You boldly spoke, trapping Yoru inside the formation of rocks. You tapped your ear twice.
"Remember, the Earth can experience anything."
Without hesitation, Phoenix went into the room, grabbed the blueprints and his earpiece, and dissolved into ashes, back inside the aircraft.
Just like Chamber, he talked about you to Killjoy and Viper, a radiant! You could help the protocol!
"Ah, yes, they're in my files. Manipulation of the earth's ground, how fascinating!" Killjoy adjusted her glasses, "They must have attended that entrance exam in hopes of studying in the university to better understand their powers. Ohhhh I like them already." He does too.
"Most likely she heard our conversation through the earpiece and followed you since sound does travel through solid ground, might as well recruit her."
Thank goodness you accepted the invitation, oh wow you're gorgeous.
( the earth was the accumulation of time, everyone's tears were absorbed by the earth and bloomed into flowers as the earth's apology. it grew through the hard crevices and eventually rested on the soft soil until it could breathe when it bloomed from the hardships you faced. one day, you will be the flower in phoenix's earthquake. )
Tumblr media
[ star chosen: lost in the mirror maze . ]
It was a mission unapproved by Brimstone— to contact the blackmailer firsthand. If they can't pick up the footprints through technology, do it the old fashion way. SOVA suggested.
The blackmailer will slowly reveal everyone's secrets one by one if their actions are fruitless, they need to find the blackmailer now if they want to stay incognito.
One chance. Sova has one chance to prove to his leader that he can gain something from this mission without getting hurt.
Catch me if you can. The prowlers whispered around him. Hoarse, raspy voices, inner demons— his inner demons. Sova recomposed himself, already preparing his mentality for the illusions he was about to face.
A note flew past his ears. The pitter-patter sounds of rain; The waterfall hitting the lake; The dew of an oasis.
It was hazy, his eye malfunctioned due to instability. Darkness loomed over his vision, what?
Then the note dropped. The chaos of an inevitable tornado; the clouds getting heavier and falling from the sky; A tsunami; A hailstorm.
Whatever the cause of the melody, helped him keep his sanity.
His vision came back, and Sova shook his head. To find himself standing inside a carnival mirror maze.
What if I give, a glimpse of what I know about you? The blackmailer's voice echoed around him. No.
Movement, to his right. Sova dodged the rifle bullet, already shooting his recon dart through all the holes in the mirrors. It took a second for the woman to destroy it, already showing Sova a silhouette of them. Fuck.
Oh? I'm impressed. A woman's deep voice chuckled. So the blackmailer was a woman. Even if you find me, I already know your next move. Try this.
Sova glanced down, to find himself tethered to something. He simply sent a shock dart, continuing his search by running around the maze.
Tsk, what about this?
Sova ignored how he was blinded, all he needed was his bow and arrow. His sense of sound disappeared, and the woman effectively dismantled the equipment on him.
You know? This is quite a challenge, how about—
Then, the trumpets sang together with the grand finale.
"Hey, hey, wake up!" You vigorously shook the unconscious man under you. "I already removed that weird negative emotion clouding around your head, wake up lord the police might think I was the one who knocked you out!"
The Russian groaned, your voice effectively snapping him out of his nightmare. He propped himself with his elbows, hands unclenching and clenching. Where was his bow where was his bow—
His posture slagged down in relief when they were lying beside him, a flute along with them.
"Is this yours?" Sova questioned you.
"It is, I played some of the music along with my mood to get rid of whatever you were facing just moments ago, so I'm sorry it sounded like..."
"...battle music?"
"Yeah! But if you do mind me asking, how did you get unconscious in the middle of a park?"
Sova remembers. He passed out of fatigue, the main reason why Brimstone unapproved the mission. But Sova was stubborn to never give up.
Out of the three agents; he would be the only one to fail the mission. But he had the most unique meeting with you.
"So, what you’re trying to say is, you'll try to make them join the protocol? As an apology for your recklessness?" Killjoy laughed a bit under her nose. "Oh Sova, they joined the protocol the moment you left for that mission of yours. You both were supposed to share a room for a while, remember? Luckily, they happened to be near where you were so we sent them there instead of going to the airport."
"Ah, I see..." Now let Sova wallow in embarrassment.
( unbalanced, where the notes are played from the traditional wooden flute. an uneven piece of emotions rushing down the runway. a choreography of confusion until the missing puzzle pieces fell into place. lost. this was not how sova was expecting his first love to be played out. )

World Best Dancer of All Time
Tumblr media
Dancing is equivalent to telling a tale with your body. Dancing is more than simply moving your body rhythmically; it is about communicating sentiments and emotions without using words. Dance forms and styles vary greatly, ranging from ancient dances passed down through generations to contemporary choreography. Dancers emphasize rhythm, balance, and elegance in their movements.
Best dancers of all time
Determining the world best dancer is subjective, as dance is a diverse and evolving art form with many styles. However, certain people have made an enduring effect on the worldwide dance community. Dancers such as Mikhail Baryshnikov, widely regarded as one of the greatest ballet dancers, enlivened the stage with unparalleled elegance and talent. Martha Graham's unique approaches transformed modern dance. Michael Jackson, a musical legend, performed with extraordinary originality and perfection. These dancers have not only mastered many dance styles, but have also impacted and inspired future generations of performers.
Dance legends across eras

He has inspired legions of dancers to emulate and improve on his style. Jackson was a gifted dancer as a youngster. He holds 39 Guinness World Records, 15 Grammys, 6 Brit Awards, and a Golden Globe. Sadly, the renowned performer died while launching a musical return.

Dance has the potential to inspire emotion, convey stories, and unify people across cultures and generations, whether it is performed on stage, in cinema, or on the streets.

Chapter 1 - Crossed in Love
Tumblr media
Miss Evans is a young woman of one and twenty who completely and utterly knows her mind. She refuses to be ruled by men and is set on the idea of never submitting to a husband’s sceptre. Fleeing her sister’s home to teach at Gryffindor House, a school for genteel young girls, she expects nothing and no one to change her mind for she will only be persuaded to marry when she finds the deepest of love.
His Grace James Potter - Lord of Peverell, son to a Duke and Duchess, owner of a large fortune and soon-to-be a member of the House of Lords - is a man of one and twenty and – by any and all accounts, just ask Mrs Bagshot – far too young to concern himself with thoughts of matrimony. But he – as his friends will attest and to his mother’s delight – finds himself stupidly in love after a mere moment’s acquaintance with Miss Evans.
The joy of being crossed in love so unexpectedly is hard to come by and even harder to act on.
A Jily Regency Romance told in Alexander Strathy’s twelve Quadrille steps: assemblé, jeté, glissade, sissonne, temps levé, chassé, échappé, pirouette, changement de jambe, pas battu, jeté tendu and jeté du côté.

I was recently sent a comic to review called Sissonne, featuring a superhero who fights crime not with fancy powers or gadgets but with the fancy footwork only a ballerina (ballerino?!) is capable of.
You can find Sissonne #1 here: https://globalcomix.com/c/sissonne

A intelligence thought I had while standing at the bus stop this morning...
it still called 'hopping' if you use both feet?
As in I can understand it in the sense if someone said " when I was a lad I used to hop everywhere on one foot, then when I got tired I used both feet!"
And so my point is, shouldn't there be a different word to hop using both feet?!
And Clare Rose on Facebook answered;
Sauté – A sauté is a jump from two feet which lands on two feet. Sometimes, it can be jumping from one foot back on to the same foot.
Temps Levé – A temps levé is a hop from one foot to the same foot.
Jeté – A jeté is any jump or leap taking off from one foot and landing on the other.
Assemblé – An assemblé is a jump from one foot landing simultaneously on two feet.
Sissonne – A sissonne is a jump from two feet and landing on one.
Ballet hops are named for take offs and landings.
I totally agree btw...should be a unihop or deucehop, trihop etc!
