The Best News of Last Week - June 6, 2023

1. Biden orders 20-year ban on oil, gas drilling around tribal site in New Mexico

Hundreds of square miles in New Mexico will be withdrawn from further oil and gas production for the next 20 years on the outskirts of Chaco Culture National Historical Park that tribal communities consider sacred, the Biden administration ordered Friday.

The new order from Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland applies to public lands and associated mineral rights within a 10-mile (16-kilometer) radius of the park. It does not apply to entities that are privately, state- or tribal-owned. Existing leases won’t be impacted either.

2. Groundbreaking Israeli cancer treatment has 90% success rate

An experimental treatment developed at Israel's Hadassah-University Medical Center has a 90% success rate at bringing patients with multiple myeloma into remission.

The treatment is based on genetic engineering technology. They have used a genetic engineering technology called CAR-T, or Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy, which boosts the patient’s own immune system to destroy the cancer. More than 90% of the 74 patients treated at Hadassah went into complete remission, the oncologists said.

3. Federal Judge Makes History in Holding That Border Searches of Cell Phones Require a Warrant

With United States v. Smith, a district court judge in New York made history by being the first court to rule that a warrant is required for a cell phone search at the border, “absent exigent circumstances”. For a century, the Supreme Court has recognized a border search exception to the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement.

4. Indigenous-led bison repopulation projects are helping the animal thrive again in Alberta

Indigenous-led efforts are reintroducing bison to their ancestral lands in Alberta, bringing back an iconic species that was nearly extinct. These reintroduction projects, such as the one led by the Tsuut'ina Nation, have witnessed the positive impact on the bison population and the surrounding wildlife.

The historical decline of bison numbers was due to overhunting and government policies that forced Indigenous peoples onto reserves. These initiatives aim to restore ecological integrity while fostering spiritual and cultural connections with the land and animals. Successful results have been observed in projects like Banff National Park, where the bison population has grown from 16 to nearly 100, providing inspiration for future wilding efforts.

5. Breakthrough in disease affecting one in nine women

Sydney researchers have made a world-first leap forward that could change the treatment of endometriosis and improve the health of women living with the painful and debilitating disease. Researchers from Sydney's Royal Hospital for Women have grown tissue from every known type of endometriosis, observing changes and comparing how they respond to treatments.

It means researchers will be able to vary treatments from different types of endometriosis, determining whether a woman will need fertility treatments.

6. Latvia just elected the first openly gay head of state in Europe

The country’s parliament elected Edgars Rinkēvičs to be its next president, Reuters reported prime minister Krišjānis Kariņš saying.

Rinkēvičs publicly came out as gay in November 2014, posting on Twitter: “I proudly announce I am gay… Good luck all of you.” In a second tweet at the time, he spoke about improving the legal status of same-sex relationships, saying Latvia needed to create a legal framework for all kinds of partnerships.

7. France bans short haul flights

The introduction of France’s short-haul flight ban has renewed calls for Europe to cut down on journeys that could be made by train. Last week France officially introduced its ban on short-haul flights.

The final version of the law means that journeys which can be taken in under 2.5 hours by train can’t be taken by plane. There also needs to be enough trains throughout the day that travellers can spend at least eight hours at their destination.

Cia!! Your gifs are always a great inspiration!!!

I wrote this little story to celebrate Father’s Day and the Tommy-horse gif is the perfect match! ♥️🥰✨ (this is a bit longer than a blurb, but shorter than a one shot)

This is also a small tribute to @madame-wilsonn ‘s Midnights series (amazing! Go run and read it if you haven’t) 🌌

Whenever if you celebrate or not Father’s Day for whatever reason, I hope you are having a great day and if you’re struggling given the date, I send you a big bear hug 🥰

A thoughtful gift

Tommy Shelby x reader

Following Frances request, Tommy arrived at Charlie’s yard, it was an early Sunday and he was a bit confused for not knowing where his wife and son were.

But that was about to change as he parked his car and a small blonde head stormed behind the vardos broken pieces. He was able even to hear the daddy’s here! His son announced in a non so whisper.

“Good morning Mr. Shelby.” She greeted him with a kiss and a smile, and that goddam look he was so familiar with, Y/N must’ve been into something behind his back.

“Mrs. Shelby, you look particularly fine this morning.”

“Fine? Just fine?” She joked as his hand sneaked around her waist to give her a squeeze.

“Drop dead gorgeous actually… can we ask Pol to babysit tonight?” His eyes sparkled.

“Oh, I see you’re feeling lucky.”

Tommy smirked. “I am, woman.”

Suddenly a small, wild creature ran to him. “Can we go to the stables now?” Charlie pulled at her sleeve, desperate to show his dad.

Tommy tilted his head at his son’s eagerness.

“What’s going on?” He asked with a suspicious look in his eyes.

“We’ve go-” Charlie started, but she quickly covered his mouth so he wouldn’t ruin the surprise before it was time.

“Hello Tommy.” Curly approached him with a beaming smile. “Y/N and Charlie have been helping me around, they’re so good, so good.”

Tommy was trying to process what was happening, because his wife had always been so caring with Curly, looking after the things he needed, so that wasn’t really a surprise, what made him feel uneasy, was Charlie Strong’s smile.

“You should take a look at the new horseshoe we got, best quality…”

“What did you do this time, Y/N?” Tommy chuckled at his own question. Knowing his wife the way he did…

“What makes you think I did something?” She asked with a fake indignation. “Okay, don’t answer that.” She replied before he could, leaving Tommy with his mouth hanging open.

“Hurry up!” Charlie tried to get your attention from the barn, he was dressed just his father, a mini version of his suit, but wearing shorts, his vest, a white shirt and his peak cap.

“He got that from you, right?” Y/N asked Tommy as they hold hands.

“Me? No, he got it from his mama.”

“I got something for you Dad!”

Curly and Charlie followed their steps.

“Yeah?” Tommy blew away the smoke from his just lighted cigarette.

“Curly would you help Charlie, please?” Y/N asked knowing he was as excited as her son.

“Yes, help Charlie, I’m gonna help him.” He stammered.

“Will you tell me what’s the mystery about?” Tommy arched one of his eyebrows.

Y/N shook her head. “For once, I was able to keep this a secret.”

Taking another puff of his cigarette, Tommy gave her a disapproval look. “Shouldn’t keep secrets from me love.”

“This one was easy and I really hope you like this, not like the one I gave you last year and you never wore.”

He was confused.

“Don’t look at me like that, I know when I give you something and you don’t like it, you never wear it, but this… I’m afraid I won’t be able to get you off.” Y/N distracted him enough, he never realized Charlie was riding a horse towards them, until his wife pointed in front of her with her chin up.

Tommy was lost of words for once in his life as the most beautiful horse approached them. Moving at an elegant pace, the majestic animal made a little sound and Charlie giggled from his seat. Tommy looked from the horse to his wife with a mix of surprise and shock written all over his face.

“Happy Father’s Day, love.” Y/N brought her hand to caress his cheek. “As soon as I heard they would have this beauty for sale, I knew it was mean to be yours.”

“Look what I bought you dad!” Charlie shouted trying to make the horse turn around.

“You did?” Tommy smirked.

“I used my savings.”

“Sure thing.”

“Well, mum helped a little.” Charlie tried to explain, while her mother nudged him with her elbow to let Charlie think he had been the one to pay for the horse.

That made Tommy laugh.

“Go on.” She encouraged him.

Tommy was in awe. Not fully believing the beauty of this horse.

Like a magnet, he walked towards the horse, taking a moment to gently caress her muzzle as he started to whisper in Romani.

“Made me think of all those stories you told me when your Mum gave you a white horse.” She added after a few moments, enjoying the sight of her husband in his element, he and horses were the same thing.

When Tommy looked at her, she noticed the tears in his blue eyes, threatening to slid down his cheeks.

“What are you going to call her dad?” Charlie asked once Curly helped him come down from the horse.

“Midnight.” Tommy rushed to say. “Reminds me of the full moon shining through Midnight.”

“It’s a beautiful name.”

“Thank you… for everything.” Tommy stated in a firm voice and in a rare affection burst, he kissed his wife in front of his uncle and Curly, he was usually very reserved.

“Mum look!” Charlie called from the entrance, holding a chicken. A huge grin on his face.

“Alright, tell your joke. Tell Dad.” She could hardly hold the laugh already.

“Why are chickens so funny?”

“Why?” Tommy asked confused.

“Becauuuuuuse.”

Everyone in the barn broke into a loud laugh, including Tommy. Specially him.

“He got the bad jokes from you, definitely.” Charlie Strong stated.

Tommy couldn’t deny that statement.

Once Charlie let go of the chicken, Tommy crouched down to pic him up. Unable to resist his charismatic kid.

“Come ‘ere my boy.”

Y/N treasured the interaction in her heart as Tommy asked Charlie where did he learn that joke right before tickling him. As she joined them, her hand went to Tommy’s back running her fingers up and down, thinking what a blessing it was to witness a moment like this.

Tommy felt like his heart was drumming like crazy thinking how thoughtful this gift was, he felt like his chest could explode from the love. Despite everything he had done, been away for work most of the time, he would be forever grateful with his wife not only for the horse and for raising an incredible kid, but for giving him the family he always dreamed.

***

A/N: The little chicken joke made me laugh for days! 😂Here’s the video that inspired it: video

Tom Grant x fem reader blurb

ao3 link

Tom was your best friend and lover. Ever since he had ended things with his ex-girlfriend Ruth, he was torn before he had met you. Nothing was going right or his way until you came into his life. One day on the beach you were walking and came across Tom. He was sitting in the sand and you were interested in who he was. Going up to him you got to talking. Both of you had recently been broken-hearted. After his ex moved out he was distraught. It was a chapter that he was done with. After talking for a bit you found out you had many of the same interests. The next day you visited him in his caravan in the trailer park and watched a cheesy rom-com.

The next week you went to dinner together on your first official date. You wore your best and most favorite dress and Tom was looking more dapper than ever wearing his brown suit. The next few months were filled with so much passion. You spent a lot of time on the beach together and exploring the countryside of England. Making love with Tom was always mind-blowing. You bought the Kama Sutra to try out new positions and loved every second of it together. The both of you were adventurous and open-minded in the bedroom. He'd buy you so many amazing sex toys. You even got him a personal Fleshlight shaped like your pussy from a mold. For you, Tom had a mold made and sculpted of his cock. One day though his ex came back and threatened you. Tom had none of it and he consoled you. The caravan park owners were aware of Ruth and eventually Ruth stopped showing up. Tom would do something nice for you every day. Whether it be doing your laundry for you, cooking spaghetti dinners by candlelight, or buying you flowers and winning you stuffed animals from the arcade he worked at just because. He would also buy you chocolates your favorites and your favorite candy as well. With Tom, you felt so happy. Eventually, you adopted a cat together a tuxedo kitten named Cookies and Cream. When it was New Year's you would watch the fireworks together. Christmas was amazing too because he met your family and you got to meet his family too. Once you moved in together you spent all your time together. The sex with Tom was mind-blowing. He was a pleaser and giver. Even though he loved receiving he also loved to go down on you. Pleasing you and making you cum was his priority as well as making sure you were dehydrated. Tom could do this special thing with his tongue that drove you crazy. Giving you endless orgasms and making love anywhere and everywhere drove him crazy in the best ways and he was madly head over heels in love with you. He'd love it when you'd get manicures especially when you painted your nails red it turned him on so much and he loved looking at your nails finding them sexy. Of course, Tom was the most loyal and trustworthy man there was. One day you found out you were pregnant. Tom took you to all of your hospital check-ups and soon you found out you were pregnant with twins. Soon you found out the twins were a girl and a boy. Tom loved to rub your pregnant belly and you were both overjoyed by this news. It was magical and wonderful. It was the best news ever. The pregnancy went well without complications. Pregnant sex for you was bearable because Tom massaged your belly and talked to your stomach waiting on you hand and foot. The twin's room was painted half blue and half pink. In the delivery room, Tom held onto your hand letting you squeeze his hand as hard as it hurt. Soon your beautiful babies were born safe and healthy it was truly a miracle. Tom proposed because he wanted to not because of the babies and you were engaged with the most beautiful engagement rings. You were married with your close family and friends in attendance in Dublin, Ireland. Your honeymoon was in Italy and it was the most romantic trip of your life followed by some time in Paris, France. You were able to move into a bigger place together eventually and give the twins a better life on the coast by the ocean in London. And so you lived there going to the beach every day making sand castles with your precious twins. Cookies And Cream had a litter of kittens and you kept three (2 girls and a boy) naming them Maddie, Snickers, and Cutie Pie. Eventually, you adopted a golden retriever puppy named Daisy. The cats and Daisy got along so well and the kids loved her too. Your life with Tom was nothing short of a whirlwind romance and every day was filled with so much love.

Tumblr's favorite animated movie!

Vote in the other polls!

What fans say:

A Troll in Central Park:

The art was so soft and lovely. The cute chubby kids, the beautiful plants, the way everything bounced and flowed... and then the ending was so deeply horrifying specifically because it contrasted all that.

Rugrats in Paris: The Movie:

This was a childhood comfort movie for me, Rugrats were like watch best friends run around and have fun adventures on the screen

It’s the movie of all time. The main antagonist has some serious Yzma vibes. She’s a horrible person and girlboss. Her plan involves love/romance shenanigans. It did the “you can’t marry someone you just met” thing way before Frozen. The movie is explicitly set in France but it’s also very Japanese for some reason. The climax is a robotic Pacific Rim style kaiju battle between literal babies and a grown ass man. We see a toddler have to deal with the absence of his dead mother in what was the most heartbreaking scene of our childhood (a pair of twins is working together on this submission).

05 AU-gust: Pet Sitter

Rating: Teen and up Relationship: Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson WT: none WC: 1272

“You are not listening to me! Vicky said that she is coming to Europe with me! Can’t you see how big is this? Vicky and I, traveled around France, Italy, and Spain, visiting the most romantic town ever. I can already see it: a little cafè in Paris, she orders a salad, I don’t order anything because I’m too nervous, then I drop to my knees and ask her to marry me!” Steve smiles at Robin, she has met Vicky the last semester and she is still convinced that she is the one and that they are going to get married and live happily ever after. He loves Robin, he really does, but she is too naive sometimes, so, as her platonic soulmate, his job is trying to keep her with her feet on the ground. “That’s great babe, but can I remind you that we are not even sure if she likes boobies or not?” “She does. She must! I mean! We are always together!” Steve sighs, Robin and him are always together too but that doesn’t mean that there is any physical attraction between the two of them. “So. Now that it’s clear that we are going to get married soon and that you are going to be my best man… I need a little favor.” “What kind of favor?”

“You know that Vickie works to pay for college right?” “Mmmh…” “It’s nothing too complex. She is a pet sitter, and she already told all his clients that she will not be available for a couple of weeks in August but…” “But?” “She has a client that pays really well and that doesn’t want to look for another pet sitter, so he told her that he will keep her as a pet sitter if she finds a replacement for those two weeks and I happen to know that you are not leaving for holidays this year, so I thought that maybe if it’s not too much to ask for, you could replace her for a couple of weeks.” “I have never done the pet sitter!” he tries to protest. “Well, it’s not hard. I mean, you take out the dog for a couple of hours, give him food and water, and then you go back home. Sounds pretty easy, right?” Steve doesn’t want to remind her that his only experience with pets was when he tried to convince Dsutin’s cat, Mew, to get down the stupid tree and he almost killed himself when he fell. And the cat got down on his own. She seems so fucking happy. How can I deny something to her? “Ok. But just one client!” “You are my savior Steve!”

How hard can it be doing a pet sitter job? Hard. Because Robin didn’t tell him a tiny tiny detail. This man has a dog, a huge, enormous dog that jumped at him as soon as he got into the apartment, a couple of Siamese cats (and he has seen Lily and the Trumps and he knows they are trouble!), and three fucking snakes. And they eat frozen prey. Like mice. And rats. And other things he doesn’t really want to know. Steve takes a deep breath, starting with the easy stuff: refill water for all the animals. The dog is called Ozzy, the two cats are Heatfield and Axl, judging from the name on their bowls, and he has no fucking idea what the snakes' names are but they are three fucking snakes in three different terrains. He gets closer, trying to see the snakes but they seem to be hiding. so he pours some water into their basins and takes the dog out for a walk. During the whole walk, he thinks about calling Robin and saying that he can’t do it, he is very sorry but he can’t. But then he thinks about how happy she is and he decides to help her. It’s only for a week. Then the crazy man who owns all those pets will be back and everything will be ok.

Three days into the job and the dog has almost broken his arm dragging him around the park, one of the snakes bit his hand (he shouldn’t have fed him mice with bare hands but nobody told him!) and he is searching for the cats. He is sure that they are up to some mischief. And he is proven right when he hears the sound of something like glass shattering to the ground. Cleaning the house is not one of his duties, but he will not let the pets with glass all over the house, so he follows the sound that he has heard and finds himself in a studio. The cats have knocked over an ashtray, and while he cleans up the mess he starts to notice the awards behind the desk. Platinum records, Gold records, Grammy awards. Who the hell is the owner of these pets? He gets closer, trying to read the name on the plates, but a voice makes him jump. “Who the fuck are you and what are you doing in my studio?!” He grips the glass and lets out a little whimper, while the blood starts spilling. “You are the worst thief have ever seen!” the man comments, getting closer to him and examining the wound “You have some glass in the wound. I’ll get some tweezers.” “I’m not a thief! I’m a pet sitter.” “Nope. I know who my pet sitter is: a lovely girl named Vickie and you are not her.” “She is on holiday with my friend and they asked me to replace her for a few days. Ouch.” The man who is taking out the glass from his hand can’t be much older than him. Steve looks at the awards “They are all yours?” “No. I robbed them.” Steve turns so abruptly toward him that his neck cracks. “Of course they are mine. I’m quite famous, you know?” “I’m sorry but I have no idea who you are, only that I have to be sure that Ozzy gets his walk and everyone is fed and has enough water.” “So you didn’t do any research? You weren’t curious about whose house was this?” Steve shakes his head “I only got into your studios because the cats broke your ashtray. I’m sorry.” The man smiles “I should have quit years ago. This is as good a time as any.” he cleans his cut, puts a bandage on, and then says “Eddie Munson, singer and guitarist. At your service.” “Steve Harrington, librarian and temporary pet sitter.” They don’t shake hands because Steve is hurt. “Librarian, uh?” “Yeah. I’m actually on holiday but, as I told you, my friend asked me and… weren’t you supposed to be back on Monday?” “Yes I was, but the last concert was canceled and I missed my little troublemakers. Don’t worry. I’ll pay you for the entire week.” “You don’t have to…” “I insist. And you know what? I’m fucking starving! What do you think if I make sure that you are fed and have enough water?” “Sorry?” “I’d like to take you out. Any preference? Thai? Italian? Mexican?” “Oh. Everything is fine, and you don’t have to…” “What if I want to? I’d love to have a little chat with a pretty boy like you. Who knows what other secrets you are hiding?” “Oh, I don’t have any secrets…” he answers meekly. “Let me judge that.”

Years later, when Steve is being interviewed, he remembers the strange chain of events that led him to meet his husband. Everything started with a journey in Europe, some pets, and a very cool guitarist.

Hetalia Theory #1007

So at Disney World they do this thing called the honorary family and they stand at the park gates and catch some of the first people who walk in at random that morning and they treat them like royalty all day long, no lines, no reservations, they drive you everywhere in a special car. I only know this because when I went to Disney as a kid this happened to us at Animal Kingdom. It was dope.

My theory is that when the countries get bored they do the same thing. They will just go to the airport and just wait for some random ass family that seems nice to get off the plane and they will just take them under their wing and give them like a grand tour. If they are there for seven days they are at their hotel room every morning like "ready to go? I got our mountain climbing gear. Hope you brought coats if not I'll buy you some" or "Today we are bungee jumping into the grand canyon no you cannot say no, this is what we are doing." All the best spots all the best food. Because I fully believe they would get a lot of joy out of this. I wouldn't imagine they would do it all the time, maybe just when they are feeling lonely. Kind of how France did in that one episode. How he took that American girl all around that day.

Could you imagine though? "Yeah we went to England and there was some British guy at the airport and he offered to give us a tour for free and claimed to know the King. We thought he was lying and that we were going to get murdered but we did actually meet the King."

LGBTQ Disabled Characters in the Showdown Currently

Notes:

1.) This list is subject to change; before we start the showdown there will be another post with all confirmed characters. Characters are under the cut.

2.) If you see a character on here and you want to submit propaganda for them the form will still be open.

3.) If you think of a character that is not on the list you can still submit them in our form found here. If you submitted a character and they are not on the list, it might be an error on our part, but first check here to see what characters we rejected and why. More about submissions here.

4.) Submissions after this post will be open at least until August 10, but this could be extended. The only way this could be shortened is if we get 192 or more characters, but that seems unlikely. There will be around 12 hours notice before submission close.

5.) The categories are just a way to sort out characters in a more efficient way, they have no factor on matchups for the showdown.

6.) If you think a character doesn’t qualify, you can ask us and we can show you the explanation we have for that character and why they count. That being said, some of the character’s qualifications are up to personal opinion.

7.) If there is a character you think is problematic on here you can shoot us an ask, but just know that it’s not a competition of who is the best representation.

MUN'S FAVORITES. Tag 10 people you want to know better

Favorite color(s): if i'm being honest, my favorites are a TON of very specific colors, my favorite colors are less Overall my favorite colors and more-so the way colors work together, if that makes sense?? you can really tell I'm an artist and who enjoys Impressionism and Fauvism-esque art-styles BGHKTRB if I HAD to pick: blue-greens, wine reds, off-whites, a variety of browns, etc. My favorite colors tend to be warm or otherwise in the general Radius of That, 'earthy tones' or neutrals. ( maybe not what you'd expect when Quillheel's color scheme is a desaturated blue and gold, esp since yellow is surprisingly low on my list BKHB )

Song stuck in your head: One Great City! - The Weakerthans !!! ( The driver checks the mirror seven minutes late / The crowded riders' restlessness enunciates / The Guess Who suck, the Jets were lousy anyway / The same route every day )

Last song you listened to: Expert in a Dying Field - The Beths !!!

3 favorite foods: chicken & broccoli alfredo pasta, strawberry ice-cream ( or Neapolitan, fudge or vanilla bean! ), sea-salt chocolate ( or hazelnut coffee if it counts? )

Dream trip: I really, REALLY want to move to Canada to be with one of my best friend and then get my other bestie up there as well so we can live together, and its 100% a future I'm striving for!!! though, ig that doesn't count since it's technically a future housing prospect not a trip... maybe going to a little city in France or visiting family in Florida? I'm not very sure! I've never been a huge traveler, i enjoy a lot of the smaller moments along the way :] I'd like to Maine again eventually

Anything I want rn: i REALLY want to go to the library and the store and get some books & fabric + stuffing so I can make stuffed animals with 'em since I've recently figured out Some aspects of sewing and find it REALLY enjoyable!!!! ( much more than crochet, funnily! ) I just wanna spend time outside at a park or smth kinda honestly, I don't get the opt often

Tagged by: @dandelicn !!! you technically didnt tag me but like. shhh i took it from you BHGKRBH

Tagging: uuuuuh @gloryseized @lunaright @mightiestbanana @lcngdays @tctartarus @lapismuses @pixels-hub @uptrain @rceway @flockrest if any of you have done this before, do it again /j ( text me and tell me and i'll tag sb else, or you can suggest someone else! idm!! )

Tag ten people you want to get to know better

Thanks for the tags @welcometololaland @strandnreyes @taralaurel

Relationship Status: married

Song stuck in my head: Ex-Wives from Six the Musical

Last song I listened to: Simply the Best by Noah Reid - spotify surprised me with this as I was walking into my office building this morning and it’s set the tone for a somewhat emotional day

Three favourite foods: EDIT - I forgot to answer this one! coffee (don’t @ me it counts), lemon-flavoured desserts - but they have to be sharp and tangy, not just sweet, pasta, this lobster spaghetti

Last thing I Googled: the last two things - trying to figure out which stadium Taylor Swift is playing at in Sydney because they keep changing the names, and booking parking cos I’m bringing my puppy to the office later this week

Dream trip: Europe (Italy, France, Spain are the highest on my list), a week at the beach with my friends

Anything I want right now: literally right now? not to be at work

If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? a sloth - I feel like they’re the opposite of my current vibe and maybe that would be nice? They don’t do much and whatever they do, it’s done slowly

Would you rather have the power to read minds or fly? fly, as much as I’d like to know sometimes, I don’t really want to know what people are thinking

no pressure tagging @welcometololaland (you didn’t answer the questions and I only did this because other people tagged me), @pragmatic-optimist @celeritas2997 @clottedcreamfudge @actual-sleeping-beauty @cha-melodius @ambiguouspenny @catanisspicy @largepeachicedtea

Regulus Black x Muggle Reader AU

Summary: The fates play a trick on two strangers, or more so bless them, especially lonely Regulus Black

Warnings: None really, idk, Regulus Black's childhood. Sad Reggie, sort of.

NOT PROOFREAD

_______________________________________

October was here. A small wind danced through the atmosphere, leaves of gold’s and brown’s fluttered along its melody. And everyonce and awhile a leaf would stray, falling into the cool waters of the pond. The pond was a dark bluish green, ducks of a variety of colors flourished on the surface, dunking every few minutes. On one side of the pond sat a girl, stale bread in her cold bare hands. The wind played with her hair, causing tangles, ones which the girl would curse at later. But for right now she didn’t care. She enjoyed the peace, the elements, and the animals. And so did the boy who sat on the opposite side of the pond reading a book. Since the beginning of fall, the two strangers had come to the same pond every weekend. Neither had talked to one another, relishing in being just strangers. Unbeknownst to the two, fate had other plans.

A loud crack echoed across the sky, thunder. Then a second, signalling a storm was approaching nearby, and fast. Small droplets began to drizzle from the sky, disrupting the strangers’ afternoons. Both made a break, hurring to find cover from the rain. It had been a far walk up the path to get to the pond, meaning they were no where close to any cover besides the few trees in the park.

"Hi, I'm Regulus." Said the boy, offering out a hand.

"Y/N." The girl smiled softly, and shook the extended hand. The boy smiled in return.

"What's that book your reading?" She questioned. Her nose was a pink hue, the culprit of the act having been the wind.

"Oh... uh it's 'The Secret Garden', by Frances Hodgson Burnett." He spoke, checking the cover for the authors name.

"That was one of my favorite books as a child." The girl said with a faint blush. She was unsure why she was sharing that with a stranger.

"I only started enjoying the pleasure of leisurely reading now, I'm afraid." A sad look scurried across his face, leaving as soon as it had came. He indeed did enjoy muggle books, he wished that he'd discovered them sooner. He no longer held such pretentious opinions towards muggle things, one thing that in Sirius' absence had bloomed.

"You should read 'Black Beauty' too, its a heartbreaker."

Regulus would've actually preferred a happy novel, but he was appreciative of her recommendation.

"Thank you, I'll check it out." He spoke with a small smile. The rain lessened for a bit, giving the two the opportunity to make a run for it. Regulus offered his hand towards the girl, willing her to take it.

"If we run quickly we can get to the cafe just outside the park entrance, without being drenched completely."

The girl took his hand once again, the pair making a bold run in the rain.

Both found themselves smiling, rain hitting their hair, adrenaline rushing through them.

Once they got to the cafe, both had wide smiles on their faces.

"Would you like to get some tea? It'd be my treat."

"I would love too."

Both ordered their teas and sat down.

"So, Regulus, are you from here?"

"Uh, no, I grew up in France," He said rather sheepishly. He was only partially lying. "You?"

"Yeah, this is my hometown."

"It's a quaint town, very cozy." He said with a smile. Regulus wasn't the best at keeping conversations going, especially with strangers, and muggles to say the least. He knew barely anything about muggle life, only now just becoming acquainted with it. He'd faked his death, and soon after Sirius had been sent to Azkaban. Regulus wished he could've predicted the betrayal done by Peter Pettigrew to his brother and his friends, but by then Regulus was already "dead".

"It is, indeed. Tell me more about France, if you don't mind?" Curiosity filled the girl's eyes.

"Two tea's for Regulus!" Shouted one of the workers. Regulus made his way up, grabbing both beverages, before heading back.

"How do you like your tea?" Regulus asked.

"Just a dash of sugar and milk, thank you very much." The girl grinned. Regulus prepared the tea's, then sat down.

"My family and I lived mostly in Northern France, near Paris, sometimes we'd stay in the Southern part, but rarely." He internally grimaced at the mention of his family and childhood years.

"I'll go out on a limb here, and assume you are fluent in french."

"Indeed I am."

"Say something." She pleaded lightheartedly.

"Vous êtes assez agréable à discuter."

The girl's eyes widened, and her smile broadened.

"Mind translating?"

"You are pleasant to talk with."

"Merci beaucoup." She feigned a horrendous french accent. The two laughed.

"Do you know anyone around here?" She asked the boy.

"Nope, just you... now." He said shyfully. In all honesty he missed Barty and Evan, they had been light in the dark to him.

"Well, I'd like to extend an invitation to a dinner with my family, if you'd like to." The girl spoke, it was set in her mind that she would be taking the stranger and newcomer under her wing.

"I'd love too." He smiled wide. It felt good to smile, and maybe meeting you would help him move on. Unfortunately, under Dumbledore's orders, Regulus would have to adhere to staying away from Wizarding related people and stuff. But Regulus was willing to sacrifice that, in hopes that one day when the Dark Lord has met his match, he may see his family again. See Nymphadora, Andromeda, Sirius.

Both sat at the cafe, drinking their teas until the rain stopped. Overtime they'd become good friends.

the peregrine soliton.

closed starter ft. @agenthemingway, mentions of @dxckinson.

setting: multiple locations.

timeframe: various times.

summary: the recruitment of a new agent. the beginning of a friendship. the premature end to a mission.

content warnings: none for this part. future content may include depictions of depression, period-typical homophobia, suicidal ideation, etc., triggers will be updated within the tags.

1986. 18th of September.

The clouds by Agent Dickinson’s head roll across the plane’s oval window like chronophotographs, its animated stroll across the sky, each phase of the movement, captured in the lens of Faulkner’s eyes. He hasn’t seen the wisps of cirrus clouds rush by like busy traffic since almost a decade ago when this agent last took to the air. And never has he witnessed them in something as dandy as business class. But for his snoozing partner seated by the window, it’s his first time leaving the country on a plane (and boarding a plane in general). From a technical point of view, it is more efficient and discreet to have their trip to and back from France to be as comfortable for them and their guest.

Careful not to disturb the sleeping man beside him, Faulkner slides out the files from his briefcase and reviews them again. He reminds himself to breathe out through his nose after his chest lightly pangs due to a lack of oxygen. His fingers do not tremble, but his vision does, blurring the name on the brief before focusing back into clarity. Dark, dark brown eyes linger on the photo in the file.

He is so young here to the point of unrecognition.

Agent Faulkner parts his lips no more significant than a millimeter apart and inhales. It's soundless, like how they taught in boot camp. But basic training hasn't covered the skills required for this Herculean feat. This is the only time he has experienced a physical ailment close to sickness that clams up his hands and dampens the crisp white collar of his dress shirt, spiteful of the handkerchief Agent Faulkner carries to keep his indecorousness at bay.

Then, if his background fails him, Faulkner can only fall back on the lessons from his best tutor. However, that dearly venerated man no longer extends visits. He last saw Faulkner a long time ago.

The ding of the seatbelt sign signals their plane's descent. Feeling his partner would enjoy the view, Agent Faulkner gently nudges the man at his left and whispers, "Agent, please wake up. I believe you would like to see Nice."

Their contact meets them when the two agents exit Aéroport Nice Côte d'Azur, leading them to a parking lot and passing them the keys to a partridge-gray Citroën GSA. The thin, bearded man gives them a once-over before he tuts. Crossing his arms, the contact inquires with an arched brow, « Savez-vous tous où aller? »

Having studied the maps and trekked through the French coastline in his youth, Faulkner nods. The other man cocks his head with a frown, and a small puff of air is forced from his wrinkled lips. Seeing that the man is unconvinced, Agent Faulkner says in pleasantly accented Niçard, « Òc, n’ai una foura, monsieur. Mercés a ouf. »

The Frenchman does a double-take, muttering to himself, « Porca petan. Que lenga a, a Paris va. »

Agent Faulkner opens the door for Agent Dickinson in the front passenger seat — to which he receives a grin and a softly whispered thanks — and goes to place their luggage in the trunk — to which Dickinson jolts up in his seat and says, “No, let me help.” But Faulkner declines, heading to the back of the car as the man is clearly going through his first bout of jetlag.

Giving their contact another professional smile after getting their luggage in order, Agent Faulkner climbs into the driver’s seat to the lively tune of a French pop song. It is his mission partner’s doing, already establishing musical accompaniment in their drive along the coastal mountainside. It’s only been a year of teaming together, but they have found their respective roles.

According to the brief, the drive from the airport to the Alpes-Maritimes commune Sainte-Agnès will take roughly two hours. Agent Dickinson has the map open to call out directions to the streets, his face in a slight frown while turning back and forth between the English and French sides of the road map. On a gray-blue September morning at ten hundred hours, the two Temporal Agents drive out of the parking lot.

Faulkner keeps his eyes on the road, two hands on the wheel, focusing on the drive while his mission partner looks out the window and whistles at the view of the slate-blue sea. The Mediterranean Sea, which hugs the Southern French coastline, is connected to the more immense Atlantic Ocean but is almost entirely enclosed by land. At the north are Southern Europe and Anatolia, opposite at the south are the Northern countries of Africa, and its east is bordered by the West Asian Levant.

In the Mediterranean Sea’s grand history, the Roman Empire is the only state ever to control its coasts in a nautical hegemony. The sea’s name comes from the Romans. The 3rd-century Latin grammarian and geographer Gaius Julius Solinus, better known simply as Solinus, called it Mare Mediterrāneum, which means the sea ‘in the middle of land,’ or inland; the term a compound of the Latin words ‘middle’ medius, ‘land’ terra, and ‘qualitative nature’ -āneus.

Agent Dickinson stirs in his seat, sticking his head slightly out of the open window.

“Agent, be careful,” Faulkner warns but keeps his eyes on the road. Through his periphery, he glimpses Dickinson’s deep umber curls rippling by the sea breeze like waves.

“Is this place known for its fisheries, by chance, FK? I know you can’t look, but there are nets all over the water over there. I’ve never seen anything like it. Hey, the French like clams, right? Maybe they’re clam farms... Wait. There aren't any boats.”

Ah, what his partner is describing must be a cross sea. The autumnal squalls generating the square waves have Dickinson confuse them for a wide-cast fishing net, as the skies above them show no sign of a tremendous gale. These squared seas are due to two weather systems meeting at the precipices of their systems, far from their sources. Despite their innocent and novelty appearance, this sea state is the typical perpetrator of shipwrecks, as the vessel cannot sail into one set of waves without sailing parallel to the other. In short, it is a perilous sign.

Explaining it as such to his partner and reminding his partner that his codename is Faulkner, not FK, the other agent replies, “Ay, n’ombre… Y’know, that fact is almost as comforting as the thing you said about us dying instantly if our plane crashed in the ocean last night, Faulk.”

Faulkner smiles, and his partner laughs out loud.

It takes them half an hour to drive ten kilometers inland from Menton to an outcrop of rocky cliffsides. Their hatchback ascends the ever-winding and steepening slope, as Sainte-Agnès (or Sant Anha in the local dialect) sits at the highest point in the Alpes-Maritimes department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, 800 meters above the level of the Mediterranean Sea. Home to less than 455 people by 1982, the small town’s precarious road showcases the dazzling sights of the Provençal hilltops and the vast sea.

The rural town hasn’t changed much from the past. The jagged peak of the commune creeps into sight. Beyond that would be the Fort Maginot de Sainte-Agnès. A part of the Maginot Defense Line in 1932 to defend the area against possible Italian and German invasion, it has now been remodified into a museum. It’ll find more use as a cultural heritage site than a war front, as the invaders went around and never sieged the fort.

If they had more time, Faulkner would’ve loved to tour around with Agent Dickinson to highlight the ancient churches, castle ruins, religious pilgrimages, and legends surrounding this coastal commune. Southern France is famous for their cuisine, and many terraced restaurants in the region offer an unrivaled view of the French Riviera that only their mountain town can provide. However, Faulkner is efficient, and they have arrived at their destination at the crossroads of the three roads that lead into the city: Chapelle Saint-Sébastien.

The stout, one-storied chapel has a large wooden cross at the front of its cobblestoned entrance. A metal gate is in place, signaling to any congregation that service is unavailable until later. A tall, lone man sweeps the steps with a wooden broom. As the car slows to a stop on the gravel lot, Faulkner checks his watch. Eleven hundred hours and forty-two minutes. C’est l’heure du déjeuner. Or, in English, lunch-time.

He opens the door, and a bit of moisture meets his hand. The skies above have gathered the flock of sheep-puff clouds. They mingle; the air is fresh and cool. Mist and light drizzle dampen the coarse earth. Faulkner looks to the backseat of the car, takes his briefcase, and tells his partner, “Agent, I regret to inform you it is raining. Have you packed your raincoat? I can get it for you.”

“I don’t mind getting a little wet, but I know you'll insist. It should be on my suitcase’s left side inner pocket, but don’t open the other side ‘cause that’s where my unmentionables are.” Dickinson says.

Faulkner quirks an eyebrow and says, “But you mentioned it, so they aren’t ‘unmentionable,’ Agent.” But he nods and does just that to the pleasant sound of his partner's loud chuckles, quickly fetching their raincoats from the trunk while Agent Dickinson also exits the vehicle.

The light sprinkle wets his gelled hair, and a few strands fall out of place when he brushes them back. However, Agent Faulkner doesn’t mind the rain. It is necessary to the ecosystem and a refreshing conclusion to extended heat waves; he even finds the sound relaxing while reading a book. But he doesn’t want to ruin his suit or wet his files. Picking up an umbrella in case the mizzle explodes into a cloudburst, he closes the trunk and hands the raincoat to his partner.

Together, they climb the cobblestone steps, approaching their target: the man sweeping the church front.

Agent Faulkner calms himself with another breath. He has yet to fail a single mission — assassinations, cover-ups, codebreaking the Soviets during the brink of Cold War Armageddon, all these high-risk assignments a mainstay in his resume. But this recruitment task is so out of his depth.

The Temporal Bureau has had this individual on their radar since his early days in the United States Army. The Bureau has given Agent Faulkner the unique mission usually offered to a designated and experienced recruiter. Although he wishes to ask, why me, Faulkner knows their organization does not make mistakes. And so mustn’t he.

He is someone who knows how to rally the troops, Agent Faulkner. He is good with his words. Someone who will know his brothers-in-arms like the back of his hand. A person we must be able to rely on and trust. With your help, we’ll bring him into the Temporal Bureau.

Faulkner remembers how he reacted to the picture his superiors slid to him across the briefing room table. He shook, no different from a dead leaf on a branch.

Make certain you will not fail him or us, Agent.

There is a tug on his sleeve. Faulkner reacts, snapping his head to — Agent Dickinson, who gives Faulkner the tiniest crease of his rosy, full lips, pinched at the corners. “Hey, if it makes you feel any better, this is my first time too. When I was with the old man—uh, I mean when I was with my old partner, we didn’t take any noncombat missions, so I’m out of my element as well. But the bureau wouldn’t have sent you—us out here if they didn’t think we could do this. So let’s just, y’know, stick to the script we came up on the plane, and if it feels like he’s not biting, then… I don’t know, we can talk from the heart?”

Faulkner cannot speak. So he nods, confused by the tenseness in his chest disappearing. His face feels a little hot.

“That’s him over there, isn’t it? Damn, I thought someone fudged the numbers when I saw that six-foot-four… What are they feeding you guys in the army that we’re not getting in the other branches?” Agent Dickinson whispers.

Faulkner also wonders about present-day rations but keeps it private from his partner. There is no place for his mind to wander now. It is mission time.

« Bonjour monsieur. Parlez-vous anglais? » Faulkner calls out to the tall man, mustering as much warmth as he can into his greeting, as taught by his tutor. If it works, it’d be all thanks to that man. If it fails, it is Faulkner’s shortcoming. As the two agents advance until they are only a meter from the target, Faulkner’s features dissolve into content placidity.

This time in English, he asks, “Hello, nice to meet you. I am Agent Faulkner. My associate here is Agent Dickinson. Mr. Jamal Bernard Jackson, correct? May we have a bit of your time?”

#event; ch0 #post; thread #thread; hemingway #thread; peregrine #( thanks ade for waiting on me ! )#( it took some time but i cut this down to about 2k words... )#( big shout out to clow for dickinson's dialogue! thank you!💕 )#( also huge shout out for my college french class teacher she really made sure i didn't forget my conjugation y'all )
