WSW! drink, bake, short

Aaaaand one hit for short, one hit for drink!

From the post-Blight fic:

“You’re not Father,” Rosslyn hissed. “You’ve got two dozen guards ordered to make sure I don’t even trip down the stairs. I might as well be hauling the entire castle about with me wherever I go.”

Aware of the interested ears that surrounded them, the teyrn clenched his fist on the table. “We’ll discuss this later.”

She turned away, a breath just shy of a snarl echoing between her teeth, but she let it go and gestured for a servant to pour her a drink. In the moment before the goblet touched her lips her gaze snapped to Alistair as if to chide him for his curiosity, held it, and then dismissed him just as quickly, with far more grace than Isolde had ever shown. He shifted in his seat and looked away, determined not to notice the unusual glossiness in her eyes.

From the Prince Alistair AU:

“Who are you?” she asked.

“Names are pretty, but useless,” came the reply. “Besides, one of your line should know me well enough.”

“You are Flemeth, then.” For a third time Rosslyn rose, curling up to save the strain of torn muscles, and this time she made it to sitting, though she had to hunch over and cradle her injured arm with a dizziness that left her short of breath. After a moment she managed to flex her fingers, but the movement felt weak – too weak to heft a shield. Still concerned, Cuno whined and dropped his head to her knee.

🌹🌹😘

thank you thank you! 😘 here, have some flystep park not-date:

Daniel wanders the gravel paths, careful to avoid the other pedestrians enjoying a late afternoon stroll, craning his neck in the hopes of catching sight of her.  Fighting the urge to fly, the last thing he wants is to watch her want to sink into the ground at the attention it brings.

Tell me some fun facts about your Steps!

I'd love to talk about my disaster babies! Let's get the whole squad in here

Cynthia- likes to sew. She tailors/modifies most of her clothing (which she tends to get from thrift stores) to fit her short frame and also provide the extra coverage she needs to feel comfortable.

Vesper was a bit of a card shark when they first started hanging out with the rangers. Ortega was the only one who could ever beat them (and even then it was rare). the jig was up once they found out about the telepathy though.

Curtis- after his villain debut becomes quite the flashy dresser. expensive clothing and watches. putting ortega to shame tbh. knows how to put on a show at karaoke (team building excursion with pelayo and the others anyone?)

James- is a big art buff. He's never had the patience to try and develop any art skills himself, but even in the sidestep days he would often go to local museums and galleries on his free days (I guess it wouldn't be the lacma anymore so maybe the ldcma?)

Romi- would sometimes bake with tia elena. she could never really get the hang of cooking for herself, but she made a great kitchen assistant (and maybe the promise of some sweets at the end was a good motivation) . it was always really exciting for her to be able to bring whatever she'd helped make to ranger hq and watch everyone devour them

@kittlesandbugs tagging you here bc this is my fhr sideblog!

You're very sweet in any case so I bestow upon u A Few fun tidbits about my ridiculous four:

-King was actually so so SO afraid of stepping on anyone's toes during his first escape that he kept a portfolio/"cheat sheet" (still does to a degree) abt everyone he ever had to interact with at length. The basics like birthday/age/height ofc, but also shit like family or pet peeves or food allergies—anything he thought he'd need to keep on hand to People Correctly

-he's also broken like a million phones on accident (more common in his earlier days, nowadays he's a little more coordinated lol) and got a Lot of experience with tech repairing em himself!

-Jamie picked his last name after an offhand comment Ortega made about their third or fourth meeting about him "jonesing" (since he was always smoking)

-on that topic, he hasn't paid for his cigarettes in like. 12 years lmao?? he stole his first pack after his first escape on an "essentials" run and now he just refuses to lol, even if he's paying for everything else in that particular purchase

-Jasper got into gardening mostly out of necessity--free Ingredience for him to cook with, a hobby to keep him focused, something to tie him to One Place that wasn't company/contacts, etc etc etc. They didn't do so hot in the LD climate at first, but now I'm convinced he'll be able to keep damn near anything alive in that luxury ass apartment of his lol

-Casey, aside from being the Absolute Worst(/j), named both nirself and nir puppet after Drew Barrymore's character in Scream (1996)! Casey nimself is after the OG (Casey Becker), while Heather is named after the actress who played Casey in Stab.

-Ne's a huuuuuge horror fan, for that matter! Movie dates with Argent are nir ideal night in (and for that matter, ne had a collection of all nir favorites pre-HB that nir DEVASTATED about losing :( )

OC Fact Swap! Riley likes to take the Rat King on walks sometimes, their lil cylinder in her pocket. Chatty girls in the back of her mind while she runs errands.

Riley owns my entire heart <333333333333

I'm not sure if Leigh would take them along like that, but they do like to tell Rat King about their day or what book they're reading at the moment. The amount of Ortega shit-talking they've heard..................... god i love the girls

Plz explain battery metaphor I'm curious lol

HFSLHGLHG did you miss the classic battery metaphor?

(This is in the open demo for Retribution, by the way, not a spoiler).

*if (not(dampenersoff))

That's when you feel the dampeners start to kick in, little pins and needles in your mind. Like licking a battery.

*if ortega_relationship = "lovers"

No. You shake your head. You do not need to think about the pictures that comes to mind there, this is business. Not pleasure. Trust Ortega to never stop haunting you even when ${he}'s not there.
