100 books I keep on keeping: The Color Kittens

I’m going to continue with the picture book-part of my 100 books list. It feels safe and comforting and exactly what I need right now. This book was originally my Mum’s, and both she and I have loved it so much, the book is nowadays a couple of loose leafs. I had no idea it was translated from English until I wrote this post. Written by Marguerite Brown and illustrated by Alice and Martin Provensen. It was part of the Golden Books series, and published in 1949.

The story is simple, two kittens, Hush and brush (Tuss and Puss for me) want to have the colour green, but has no idea how. They randomly mix colours, getting all sorts of them, but no green, until they accidently mix blue and yellow. It’s actually a very pedagogical book about colour mixing, and most importantly; the sweetest illustrations.

A Bewildered Heart, chapter 5

Title: A Bewildered Heart
Fandom: Versailles
Rating: Teen
Genre: Drama
Word Count: 1860
Chapters: 5/5
Characters/pairing: Fabien Marchal/Sophie de Clermont.
Warnings: For this chapter; kink negotiations, mild painplay
Summary: Sophie de Clermont is settling down to her new role in life, but Fabien Marchal still disturbs her peace of mind. If not exactly the same was as before.
AN: For some reason, this chapter took ages to come together. I hope you will think it works. I’ve also lowered the rating. Originally I had intended to include some smut, and if there is an interest for it, I may post that bit as a separate part later.

Squee

For my fellow Doctor Who-fans; a rather good article on the various incarnation of the Master. I must say it actually has me looking at Simm!Master in a new light. I've always felt he was too hysterical, but looking at it from the view that newly regenerated Time Lord's personality are affected on people on their mind, makes Simm!Master logical. He pretty much is Ten with no brakes and added cruelty.

Don't read it f you have missed the great big whopping Master-spoiler for the new season, though.

( Spoiler-y stuff )
