The concept art of Barbie of Swan Lake (2003).
Asked by @lovelyth0ughts , this impeccable art of Swan Lake, it is so beautiful that I could spend hours admiring.
Art by: Walter P. Martishius
big strong knights covered in blood looking at you like a feral animal. that’s the post
Princes will literally ask, "Is anyone else gonna form a deeply unhealthy codependent relationship with this knight, twist his fealty to their own purposes, and turn themselves into his true religion," and not wait for an answer.
Knight escorting his prince/ss back to their bed chamber after a long evening of merriment and drinking. Prince/ss wobbles and struggles to stand up straight, leaning against their loyal knight’s muscled form. Knight ignoring the wandering hands and pleading coos of their prince/ss, desperate for touch. It’d be improper.
“Here we are, your highness, now let’s get you to bed…”
Prince/ss pouting and insisting that they are simply too helpless to undress all on their own, that they just need their knight’s assistance to disrobe. Knight holding his breath as he loosens ties and watches fabric fall to reveal prince/ss’s skin, soft and warm with blush. Knight clenching his jaw but letting eyes wander along the curves of their royal highness’s form. It’d be improper.
Knight tucking their prince/ss beneath blankets with a chaste kiss on their forehead and a gentle brushing of hair from their face. Knight closing the door of prince/ss room softly behind himself as he heads back to his own quarters. It’d be improper.
Knight, alone in his bed, sweaty and flustered, desperately bucking and rutting himself into his own hand. Knight growling and whining, utterly desperate, mumbling his prince/ss’s name again and again until he cums, shuddering. Knight panting and catching his breath, staring hopelessly up at the ceiling. He’s not sure how many more nights like this he can take before breaking…

Daily reminder:
…the shadows kept him (Az) company, as they always had, as they always would’
*‘The young priestess smiled - and Azriel thought it might have been directed at his curious shadows.’
*‘Her (Gwyn) breath curled in front of her mouth, and one of his shadows darted out to dance with it before twirling back to him. Like it heard some silent music.’
*‘Azriel laughed. "I'll give you that." Gwyn smiled broadly. "Thank you."
Azriel dipped his head in a sketch of a bow, something restless settling in him. Even his shadows had calmed. As if content to lounge on his shoulders and watch.’
*‘Azriel entered the warmth of the stairwell, and as he descended, he could have sworn a faint, beautiful singing followed him. Could have sworn his shadows sang in answer.’
*‘Something sparked in Azriel's chest, but he only nodded his thanks and left. He could picture it, though, as he ascended the stairs back to the House proper. How Gwyn's teal eyes might light upon seeing the necklace. For whatever reason ... he could see it.
But Azriel tucked away the thought, consciously erasing the slight smile it brought to his face. Buried the image down deep, where it glowed quietly.
A thing of secret, lovely beauty.’
Yeah, I know your hungry for more. Me too, girl. Me too.
For Old Times' Sake 🌙
Kingdom of Ash Chapter 62
Chapter Highlights (but let’s be real all this chapter already is)
Your last chapter was delightful! Thank you so much!
You’ve mentioned All the Young Dudes in one of your posts and it has been a revelation. Do you have all time favorite hp fics and would care to share your recommendations please?
Oh, man, how could I ever choose? Manacled and DMATMOOBIL are obviously all-timers, but they don't need me to recommend them. Wait and Hope, similarly, is in no need of exhortation by me, but I'll do it anyway, I ate that shit up. Anything by @PacificRimbaud. Especially anything with Pansy in it. Especially Les Pèlerins. Anything by provocative_envy. Especially the college/internship AUs. You don't think an American AU for Harry Potter is going to work, until you're reading it, and wow, does it ever. Bending Light by scullymurphy. Talk about fucking atmosphere, my God. (I haven't read Falling Dark yet, I've been meaning to get around to it.) I've also been meaning to read the Gravitation series, I read the first chapter forever ago and it was one helluva opening. See, now I'm just talking about fics I haven't read and want to. Okay.
All the Young Dudes was formative because it was the first time I realized the scope of what fanfiction could do. Until then, I had a very narrow, constrained version of the kinds of stories fanfic was meant to tell (and what fanfic audiences were looking for). ATYD blew the ceiling off that by telling a story that was non-traditional, slow-paced, and completely non-focused on romance for at least half of it, and people adored it anyway. It taught me to be bolder and more creative with my choices. It made me think "well, Gryffindor Draco may not be the most popular trope in the bucket, but maybe some people will like it!" And it turned out some people did!
The Disappearances of Draco Malfoy. This was for a long time my favorite Draco redemption arc, and it remains the first fic I recommend to anyone looking to get into Dramione, because it's the perfect branching-off point for someone who loves the books. Stylistically honest and feels like Book 7, only better. Draco is not let off the hook for fuck, as is right and proper. (I'm a sucker for Book 7 rewrites, for obvious reasons.)
Boy with a Scar. All of it. Made me tear up like four times. This person understands things about Harry Potter that Rowling doesn't and perhaps never could.
Birds of a Feather is a great Tomione Hogwarts fic, and of any fic I've read, it's most interested in the practical day-to-day of life at Hogwarts, which was one of my favorite parts of the books. It's really a book about how someone like Tom, or Hermione for that matter, would experience Hogwarts if there weren't any diabolical plots happening around them: that is, as a very cool, very beautiful, but ultimately sort of mundane boarding school. It makes the place feel lived-in and real in a way that makes it a joy to come back to. And it has the most realistic depiction of child!Tom that I've ever read.
And I'm finding new ones all the time.

He placed a gentle kiss on his wife's forehead, silently communicating his love and support for her.

Just thinking about how, in the same book, we have Azriel pointing to Cassian's chest, telling him he'd know if something was up with Nesta, his mate...
...and in his bonus chapter, Azriel feels something ✨️spark✨️ in his chest for whatever reason...
My good sir 🤦♀️
the bonus chapter happening prior to the blood rite too…yes, yes all of the pieces are coming together
you're wrong the bonus chapter mean nothing because it's only in first editions and not in every language so obviously it's not important at all even though Sarah said to her best friend to hold of on opinions until she read said bonus chapter because "the crumbs have been spread" and then in the same argument will say that the ACOFAS interview in the back of the (first edition) of the book confirms e/riel because *ivy and dagger*
I wanna see what other people prefer since there so many differing opinions on who Azriel is gonna end up with<3
Who do you ship Azriel with?
Elain
Gwyn
Eris
Gwyn, I thought it was obvious
@elucienweekofficial Day Four — High Society
A prince climbing up the balcony for a chance to earn a gentle kiss from his princess.
This is my first ever commission and I cannot thank poppypola_ enough for this stunning work. The vision was the balcony scene near the end of the film ‘Letters to Juliet,’ where Charlie climbed the balcony in an act to reach Sophie after a slight misunderstanding. Elain and Lucien are incredibly regency coded and their romance is no different—fleeting looks, careful touches, and quiet kisses in her garden with roguish humor and playful blushes.

Start of the bonus chapter:
Azriel couldn't stop it. The envy in his chest. Of Cassian, and Rhys.
End of the bonus chapter:
Something sparked in Azriel's chest, but he only nodded his thanks and left.
