In all of this time, he had never expected to see her again.

Jack had spent years wondering, curiously thinking over what had happened to Mary Poppins. As usual, and as how Bert had told it, she dissapeared after she was needed. It was abrupt, yes, and a bit sad, but she had things to do, he reckoned. But, he could never help wondering where she was, and how she may have been doing nowadays. Hell, he wondered how she would react if she saw him, ageless as well. 

But he certainly didn’t expect to see her this soon.

He had been getting some coffee from the store, a basic morning routine of his, when he nearly ran into her. She was shopping as well, possibly for herself. Either way, that didn’t matter. What mattered was that Jack had been clumsy, and bumped right into her.

“I am so sorry-”

He froze when he saw her. It really was her.

                  THACKERY WASN’T ONE to make a big show out of holidays. he wasn’t that interested in christmas, halloween was a sore spot and valentines day was a scam. that’s what thackery a year ago would say anyway. however, this year was different. this year, he actually had a girlfriend who made him see things in a different light. minnie brought out the best in him, and he wanted to do something special for her. 

he didnt claim to be the most romantic or the most creative. he didn’t have a vivid imagination, but he did have one thing on his side - magic. he had begun practicing again when he was home alone. perhaps he could put this inhertied skillset to use. he wasn’t a great chef, but a quick cooking spell had a nice steak and lobsert dinner set out for the two of them. determined to still maintain his ‘ im just a normal guy’ status, he physically lit a couple of candles on the table before setting the bouquet of lilies in the center of it. he hoped she would like it. he set the small box on the table next to her seat just as the door rang. 

from her spot on the couch, emily lifted her head and looked towards the door. thackery smiled and gave the cat a pet on the head before answering the door. “ hi there pretty minnie, “ he smiled, holding his hand out to her.

              the best part of thackery’s day was seeing minnie. when he woke up in the morning, she was the first thing he thought about. when he went to bed, she was the last thing he thought of before slipping into his dreams. he wasn’t used to feeling this happy all the time. he spent three centuries in turmoil and mourning, so this new light and airy feeling he felt was welcome.  

it had been a little over three months since the two had officially started dating. he wanted to do something nice for her. he knew he wasn’t the most romantic person on the planet, but he still wanted to show how special she was to him. he had talked to her roommate before and arranged to have the whole flat to themselves. he made her a dinner - one of his recipes that he had down. he made steak with garlic mashed potatoes and grilled zucchini. he also picked up some fresh made dinner rolls with honey butter and tossed together a quick caeser salad. he hoped she would like it. when he heard the door open, he grinned and picked up the bouquet of daisies he picked up for her. “welcome home pretty minnie.”

              THACKERY COULDN’T STOP thinking about the day he and minnie had gone into the woods. the ominous feeling that surrounded them, not to mention the voice he heard and the spell he found. he wasn’t sure how, but he knew deep in his soul that this was connected to emily. he wondered if it had anything to do with that mysterious letter that had printed in the paper a month ago. 

he tried to wait until it mary’s designated day off - the second tuesday of the month, but he couldn’t wait any longer. he had to know if she knew what it was. he didn’t have that kind of knowledge, but he knew it was something dark. in the time he spent with a dark witch, he knew dark spells when he saw them, even if he never had casted one.

he didn’t bother knocking on the door of 17 cherry tree lane, instead, he climbed up the post and landed on the balcony outside the nursery. he tapped on the window, catching her attention. “ it’s an emergency, “ he said, a concerned look on his face. // closed starter for @flanncls

Nutmeg: guess what i just found out?

…on a falling tear.

             sage was, to put it lightly, exhausted after the long shift she had worked at the hospital. the minute she got home, she flopped down on the couch. she laid there for what felt like hours. she wasn’t sure if she had drifted off to a nap, but she must have. the next thing she knew, she heard the door open and it was getting dark outside. she looked over towards the door and smiled. “ hey! welcome home, “ she said to her roommate. the two often missed each other, but sage had a couple days off of work. perhaps it was a good time to bond. “ do you have plans or do you wanna order dinner with me? “// closed starter for @flanncls - minnie
