I honestly thought that getting a job in a foreign country would be the most difficult part
But England proves me everyday that they wanted me to live on the streets 😭
Like how hard can fining a place to stay be
So If anyone has any advice I’m all ears

The Young Queen & The Queen Mother
The days go by and Catherine is increasingly scared of the people around her. She could only trust her ladies Maria de Salinas and Maud Green, her advisers Thomas Moro, Thomas Howard, and Charles Brandon & hers friends Margaret Pole, Duchess Mary, and Edward Stafford.
Catherine will be involved in intrigues, not only because her relationship with Emperor Charles V became strained after her denial of her commitment, but also because of a wave of English sweat that attacked England and spread death to where she goes. This caused that the nobility was reduced before the mortality rate and that Queen Mary I was locked up in Ludlow castle with Margaret Pole, two maids and a doctor to prevent her from being exposed to the disease. Meanwhile, the regent was in charge of security measures, looking for those affected to stay away from other people and for doctors to find the best way to care for them.
Los días avanzan y Catherine esta cada vez mas asustada de las personas de su alrededor. Solo podía confiar en sus damas María de Salinas y Maud Green, en sus consejeros Thomas Moro, Thomas Howard y Charles Brandon & en sus amigos Margaret Pole, la Duquesa Mary y Edward Stafford.
Catherine se vera envuelta en intrigas, no solo por que su relación con el Emperador Charles V se volvió tensa tras su negación al compromiso, sino también a una ola de sudor ingles que ataco Inglaterra y que esparce la muerte a donde vaya. Esto provoco que la nobleza se redujera ante la taza de mortalidad y que la reina Mary I fuera encerrada en el castillo de Ludlow junto a Margaret Pole, dos criadas y un medico para evitar que era expuesta ante la enfermedad. Mientras tanto la regente se encargaba de las medidas de seguridad, buscando que los afectados permanecieran lejos de otras personas y que los médicos buscaran la mejor forma de atenderlos.

warnings: slight smut at the end
part I • part II • part III
The few days after were spent solely inside your room, citing the overused 'girl problems' excuse to your brother when questioned about your notable absence from the rest of the flat.
You stayed off your phone, messages from your soon forgotten date piling up as you ignored anyone who tried to get into contact with you. You regret it - regret playing the dating game. This isn’t fair on John, are you now the one leading him on? But, then again, if you want each other so badly, why aren’t you engaging like normal people should?
But three days into your phantom period, you were finally left alone. An invite from his girlfriend in Liverpool to stay for a fortnight was welcomed by your brother, who’s room lay a shell of its usual state as he packed what little clothes he wore into a suitcase from the storage cupboard, all before being waved off by his younger sibling.
So a knock at the door is unsurprisingly not welcomed as you lie uncomfortably on the settee. Socks shuffle against the floor as you unenthusiastically get up, merely expecting a package containing something your brother had ordered off a dodgy website.
But instead, you’re met with a pair of trainers that you could only dream of affording; a man with familiar, long legs and a rain splattered hoodie clinging to his frame.
“What do you want?” You sound cold, more harsh than you’d anticipated to come across.
“Is he in?”
“He’s with his girlfriend in Liverpool,” You sigh, the footballer still standing in your doorway with rain droplets falling from his hair, “What do you need?”
“You.” - That’s what he’d say if he was telling the truth, if he had the balls to admit that he hasn’t had a single thought that’s not been related to you for the last week.
“Just wanted to erm- pick something up?”
You know he isn’t telling the truth whatsoever, unshaven face pale and his eyes wide as you stand with a frown on your own. John’s answer comes across as more of a question targeted towards himself, making him look like a right twat as he stands outside your apartment.
“What are you picking up?” You challenge. You’re testing him, seeing how far he can spin this fantasy before he gives up and tells you the actual reason he’s shivering at your door, water still clinging to his clothing as you watch him intently.
“Just…bloke stuff…” He trails.
“Bloke stuff?”
“Yeah?” He knew that you wouldn’t buy it, not for one second.
“Has anyone ever told you that you’re a terrible liar, Stonesy?”
He simply nods his head in defeat, quickly becoming transparent that he’s there to see you - and you only. The sudden sound of thunder erupts from the sky, the weather quickly becoming much more aggressive as buckets rain down from the Mancunian sky.
John jumps slightly at the sudden noise above, blue eyes silently begging you to at least let him inside to hide away from the seemingly apocalyptic weather. Even if deep down, the main reason is to at least be near you - your presence still something he longs for.
“Get in then, whilst it’s raining.”
You must sound so rude, you think to yourself, but you don’t want to be the one that’s scared to face reality. If he’s here, you have to get your feelings out of the way once and for all.
But the roles are reversed before you can step up to be the bigger person, a sly “Enjoy your date?” leaving John’s mouth - he can’t help but revert back to his seemingly long gone days of trying to get at you when given any opportunity to do so.
You pause, no thoughts given as you return the remark in the style of a calm and casual, “ I thought you seemed to enjoy yours more. Get up to any fun afterwards?”
He bristles, hating that you know exactly how to play him at his own game, making his original ideas seem stupid and pathetic as he tries to win you over in some sort of telepathic manner.
“Like you can fucking talk! I saw the way you were looking at him!” Explicits begin to fly around the room with no signs of stopping. That was a lie, John knows that you didn’t give a shit about that guy, but he desperately needed an excuse to explain his hostile behaviour against a man that shouldn’t even be a threat to him. His brows are still furrowed as you roll your eyes.
“Are you THAT stupid, Stones?” You’re now standing up, wanting nothing more than to scream the obvious in his face, “It’s clear to anyone that I only want you!”
He’s taken aback by that, half expecting you to not actually say it with words. He’s stunned into silence, your confession ringing in his ears as he considers the consequences of his future actions.
“Last week John, do you not remember? Putting your hands on me like that? I thought you wanted this,” Your hand flickers between the two of you, physically hinting to John the possibility of what may come, “I really thought you wanted that kiss-“
“Kiss me now.” He demands. His demeanour has changed, more possessive, anger still fuelling the rest of his emotions as his eyes burn into your skin, “You wanted it in the tunnel, yeah? Well fucking prove it now when you put those lips on mine.”
John moves towards you, finally getting to touch your body again. It feels so right to have his arm around you, hand on your chin as you fulfil his request. The kiss is hungry, fuelled by the unfulfilled desire that’s been keeping him up at night.
Everything clicks into place in that moment of lust. All those dirty looks you’d given him, the many occasions you wanted to kick him in the head - all a cover up for the fact you craved him so badly, even if you didn’t know it.
It’s all changing as you practically drag him into your room, small grunts and whispers leaving his lips as you roam hands over each other’s bodies, your sweatshirt settling for its new home on the carpet as John discards it from your now topless figure.
“How long have you been waiting for this?” You tease, lying down as John looms over you, jeans sliding down his legs as the belt buckle slaps against the floor.
You want nothing more than to touch him, never once thinking that the man you once hated so much would be on your bed, beautifully naked and looking like something from a modern art museum.
“Too long,” He mumbles, arms pinned over your head as he slips inside without a second warning, overdue moans leaving your mouths as the world around you becomes no longer important, “Too fucking long.”

i drew a new icon for my nsfw alt !! and the color is way too much like my main's so i should probably. change my main's layout. if i dony want to post stuff where i shouldnt. hm
At present there is no other occupation than the cutting off of heads and inflicting exemplary punishment. Jane of Suffolk, who made herself Queen, and her husband have been executed; Courtenay is in the Tower; and this very day we expect the Lady Elizabeth to arrive here, who they say has lived loosely like her mother and is now with child. So when all these heads are off no one will be left in the realm able to resist the Queen.1
