He introduces himself as Vane. And as she eyes him up and down, from the self-confident cock of his hip to the well groomed and styled beard, she thinks “yes, you are vain.” But there is part of her that seems to wake up and take notice. Madi lets him buy the next round and tries to figure out where she knows him from.
“Have we met before?” He asks, head tilted to the side. The low rasp of his voice settles deep in her stomach and she knows this feeling. She recognises the way it makes the hair on the back of her neck stand on end, her fingertips tingling with the need to reach out and touch.
“I don’t know,” she responds quietly. He walks her home and they don’t speak much but it’s almost as though there is nothing left to say. Thousands of conversations over hundreds of years seem to drift behind them like shadows. When he kisses her hand, the rasp of his beard against her skin like a shock, she gasps. And she remembers.

Madi/Charles?
The long braids of her hair, dark and tight and filled with the sweet scent of oil, and the curves of her hips and breasts followed Charles into his dreams – he saw her cross the deck of the Ranger in his mind, turning to him with dark eyes so bright he felt himself almost become a pane of glass, all his flaws and failures laid bare before her, only to be dismissed as she touched his cheek with her hand…
He woke with sweat on his forehead, his chest heavy as the woman at his side sighed heavily in her sleep, the knowledge of payment and safety letting her sleep deeply by the side of one of the most feared men in the Bahamas.
Charles took a lock of his own hair in hand and toyed with it, twirling it around his finger and picturing the princess’ face in his mind as he closed his eyes again; her eyes seemed to swim into his thoughts again, this time warm and welcoming as she opened her arms to him and beckoned him back to sleep.
Trophies from elephant hunts in Zimbabwe were banned in the U.S. Trump just reversed that.
I’m …I’m just curious. For all those who voted in a way meant to “tear the system down”, is this the kind of thing you had in mind? Did you imagine this relentless gutting and destruction of things that have caused no one any harm?
UPDATE!
STAY ANGRY, KEEP FIGHTING
Trophies from elephant hunts in Zimbabwe were banned in the U.S. Trump just reversed that.
NOTE: So I accidentally set something up wrong on this challenge (on the wlw one as well) where you could only make one prompt, and it just so happens to be a setting ao3 won’t let you change after sign ups have started. ^_^;; I am super embarrassed, but I need to ask everyone if they can please signal boost this once again because I had to make a whole new challenge (new links are below)
If you signed up on the previous one you’ll have to sign up and repost your prompt (I believe it was @flintsredhair @thomas-hamilton @complaininginthedark and one other that I don’t know your tumblr sorry!!) Apologies for the inconvenience D:
In an effort to keep fandom activity going and to have some fun, I decided to create a flinthamilton/flinthamiltons prompt meme on ao3!

five things to summon you: Thomas Hamilton, a repentant Admiral Hennessey, Toby Stephens at his prettiest hair state, a vengeful Miranda, and The Lord of the Rings. How’d I do?
That would summon me before you got done pouring the salt circle or speaking any kind of incantation, I’d just sense it and show up!
Awwww
Remember that Raccoon that was crushed by the cruel fate that is cotton candy plus water? Well, there was a happy ending after all!

World Map is Redesigned & Corrected to Accurately Portray Earth
Japanese designer Hajime Narukawa has invested years studying geography and the world of maps. Whether you know it or not, the current map version we follow, composed by Gerardus Mercator in 1569 is deeply flawed. In this erroneous map, Alaska is shown to be the same size is Brazil, which is a mistake. Brazile is almost five times larger than Alaska in reality. Along with this flaw, many others can be found.
