Prompt: 12. What happened after the book shop brawl from CoS?
Summary: "It is a remarkably perverted curse for a Weasley. It does raise speculation about why a man with six sons should choose such a curse. He might find it rather - exhilarating - were he on the receiving end of it."
Notes: In fact this is mostly 13 years after the book shop brawl. Apologies to those who were expecting chan from this prompt - by way of compensation there are whole new perversions available only to wizards. And their families... and friends...
Thanks to melfinatheblue, quillanna and lil_shepherd for allowing me to bounce ideas off them - even if they didn't realise it, and snapelike for finally succeeding in corrupting me. None of the above are responsible for any mistakes which are, as ever, small things, but mine own.
And yes, I will burn in hell for this one.
"An Encyclopaedia of Toadstools." Draco hooked a finger over the top edge of the book and tipped it from its place on the shelf. The volume was a good deal newer than those which flanked it. The Malfoy library reflected the obsessions of twenty generations of dilettante wizards and the last one to have had any interest in mycology was great-great grandmother Messalina Malfoy who, it was rumoured, had restored much of the Malfoy fortune by hosting a series of carefully catered dinner parties. Doubtless she would have regarded this work as hopelessly simplistic.
But simplicity was what Draco needed. He carried the book across to his desk and set it down alongside his notes and the already teetering pile of textbooks and grimoires. As he settled back into his chair and picked up his quill there was a sound from behind him. He did not bother to glance up at the portrait which had been hung carefully on the wall behind and to one side of the desk where the occupant of the frame could peer over the shoulder of anyone working there. There was no need That peremptory throat-clearing had been part of his life almost since birth.
"Oh," he said, "You're back then? How was Hogwarts?"
"Ah. Headmistress Granger has been ignoring your advice again."
"The woman's a menace. Two Hufflepuff girls faint at the sight of newt's eyes and their parents demand that she ban all potions with animal-derived ingredients from the curriculum. And she's seriously considering the idea!"
Draco lifted the lid of the Thestral-hoof inkwell. He was only paying marginal attention. The argument, with variations, had been running for several years now. "She knows that she wouldn't get it past the Governors. Unless the girls' parents are Governors?"
"Thankfully not. They're Muggles. Your Father may have a point about Muggleborns. I wouldn't expect a pureblood wizard to complain about a little teaching incident. Even if it did result in a visit to the infirmary." He fell silent. Draco felt a blush tinge his cheeks and hoped that it wasn't spreading up the back of his neck where Snape could see it. Clearly they were both remembering his own, entirely justified, complaint about a teaching incident involving a hippogriff in third year and his subsequent, unjustified, trip to the infirmary.
Eventually that little throat-clearing sound broke the awkward silence. "Apparently," Snape resumed, "Granger is considering a separate curriculum. At least for Muggleborn first years."
"Well then." Draco closed the subject as he turned back to the stack of books and papers. Behind him the portrait again fell silent. He gave a mental shrug and flipped open the new volume. As he did so a piece of parchment slid from between the pages and fluttered to the floor. Draco bent to retrieve it. At first he assumed it to be a page loosened from the book, but the sheet was handwritten, with the broad pen-strokes of a blunt-cut quill. Whatever it was, it was not part of a treatise on toadstools. Thoughtfully he ran his fingers along the edge of the page and winced as the parchment parted his flesh with the efficiency of a razor. He brought the cut finger to his mouth instinctively, sucking to soothe the disproportionate pain.
"Draco!" The sharp exclamation made him turn to face the portrait for the first time since he had entered the room.
"What?" He was puzzled rather than angry, Snape rarely used his schoolroom voice in the Manor; at least not to living people, though he could be acerbic with the Malfoy ancestors.
"I taught you better than this. Never put anything into your mouth..."
"Unless you've prepared it yourself. I know. It's only a cut..." He looked down at the parchment. The edge was stained with blood - his own - and with a darker, older substance, seeped into the page, but underlying the script. "Shit!"
Snape looked smug. "I told you..." He broke off as Draco smoothed out the parchment and read the inscription for the first time. An expression of pure horror crossed his face. "What is it?"
"It's headed Malfoy," Draco whispered, his finger following the sepia script as he read aloud:
"Let he who has paid
For the Curse that is laid
By his Blood and his Name
Here inscribed in this Bane
Enact out this Rite
In a Wizard's clear Sight:
For a Son to be Kiss'd
Draco dropped the parchment a second time, as if it had burned the hand that held it. Snape himself had started forward in his chair, as though he could snatch the spell before it reached the ground.
"The Incest Curse," he said. Set for a Malfoy. It could be centuries old. Not meant for you."
"No." Draco's own expression was impassive, calculating. "The book is new. It can't have been here more than fifteen years. Someone must have slipped the Curse into it deliberately. For a very specific purpose."
In life, Draco had seen Snape in a hundred moods, from indifferent to incandescently angry, but he had never known the portrait of the man to exude this air of suppressed fury.
"Draco," he said, tightly, "You had better ask your father to join us."
"You say it was tucked between the pages of this?" Lucius picked up the Encyclopaedia of Toadstools and leafed through it carefully, elegant fingers caressing the parchment. His grey eyes were thoughtful. "Draco, do you remember what happened in the bookshop in Diagon Alley on the day we went to get your school things in your second year?"
Draco scowled. "Flourish and Blotts? I suppose we bought the usual school texts."
"Jigger on Potions is the standard second-year text," Snape began - and stopped at a hard look from Lucius. Draco's mind had caught up with his tongue, and he was looking at his father with an expression of horror.
"That was... that was the time you planted the Riddle diary on Ginevra Weasley." It had been the action that had almost led to the destruction of his whole family, and he was horrified that he could have forgotten it - and that his father should have brought it up now.
Lucius shrugged. "A mistake. If I had remembered to include it with the items I sold to Bourgin I wouldn't have panicked and dumped it when Weasley started hinting about another raid."
Snape folded his arms with a smug air. "I always wondered whether that whole Chamber of Secrets incident was quite as calculated as Dumbledore and Voldemort believed. You're an old fraud, Lucius."
The blond man smiled. "Why, thank you, Severus. A compliment from the Master of mis-direction. I'm flattered."
"Father..." Draco's comment brought their diverted attention back to the matter in hand. "The book?"
"Yes. If I'm not mistaken, this is one of the books that were damaged when Weasley made that quite unwarranted attack on me." Lucius raised a hand to push the hair back from his brow as if he still felt the ghost of the bruise left there thirteen years before.
Draco nodded. "I remember now. Unwarranted, but not unprovoked. Though I don't remember bringing this book back."
"There was some damage to the shop during the - incident. Naturally I arranged for Flourish and Blotts to be recompensed, and asked for any unusable books to be sent to me. I assume that the house elves took delivery and added them to the library. We were, somewhat distracted, at the time."
"So you paid for them," mused Snape, "And before the books were sent here someone used your blood on this one to set a curse-trap."
Lucius grimaced. "It seems so. I'd suspect Weasley, if he weren't such an incompetent wizard."
"Not incompetent enough to leave his blood lying around for any passing enemy to get hold of."
The three men contemplated the situation. It was the most basic of magic laws, one that any pureblood learned before his third birthday. Give nothing of yourself to one who might harm you. Not bone or blood, hair or heart. And most certainly not your name.
"Malfoy." Draco touched his fingers to the ink. "Whoever set it meant it for us."
"They meant it for your father." Snape's painted lips curled into a scowl. "Adding your blood will not have helped. Let me see that."
Draco turned the parchment to permit those piercing black eyes to read the damning text and trace the lines of the Enochian sigils. There was a long pause. It was Lucius who finally lost patience.
"Well?" he snarled. "What is it? A Death Curse?"
"Can it be broken?" Draco's question overlapped his father's. Snape raised his head, assessing the two Malfoys. He chose to answer the senior first.
"Not a Death Curse, no; at least, that is not the intent. But it is a very Gryffindorish curse. It compels the owner of this parchment, and of any blood spilled on it to carry out a quite specific series of acts of public humiliation. As I told Draco, it's the Incest Curse." Snape's black gaze pinned the senior Malfoy. "I wonder whether Weasley intended one of the Ministry raids, thirteen years ago, to discover you, Lucius, in the act of buggering your twelve year old son."
Draco looked up sharply as his father grasped his shoulder with white-knuckled fingers. Lucius's lips were a thin, bloodless line, and his eyes were icy.
"No," he whispered. "Dear God. And they called the Death Eaters perverted. What sort of sick mind even thinks up a curse like that?"
Draco looked pleadingly from his father to his mentor. "But... if it's so old..."
Snape was relentless. "And to answer your question, Draco. It was set when your father paid Malfoy galleons for the book. And no, it can't be broken. Deferred maybe. Circumvented, possibly. But now that it has been activated by your blood, as well as Lucius's, I am very much afraid that you will be compelled to carry out these acts."
"You said 'publicly'?" Lucius had regained some of his composure, but his hand had not moved from his son's shoulder, though now his grip was gentle, caressing the young man's tense muscles.
"The charm specifies a wizard as witness." Snape confirmed.
"A living one? You said that it might be circumvented. What if you... watched?"
Draco asked the question, but it was to Lucius that Snape directed his reply. "Erastes, does he know?"
"That you and I were lovers? He does now." Lucius used his massaging grip to turn his son round to face him. Grey eyes met grey. "Draco, I'm not... inexperienced. If this has to be done I swear I'll do everything in my power to ensure that you won't be physically hurt. But... well, if you wish it I could put you under Imperius - and Obliviate you... after..."
"No!" Draco's own hands came up to grip his father's arms. "No. If you're going to... to make love... to me I want to feel it. To participate. To remember. Otherwise - they win." He smiled, though it was an effort. "Mother says that you're very good."
Lucius' eyes widened in surprise and Draco outright grinned. "Well, actually, what I heard through the bedroom wall was 'Oh-Lucius-oh-god-oh-god-oh-yes-yes-yes!
"Hmmm," said Snape, at Lucius's speechlessness. "The Allies might have had a point about the perversions of Death Eaters after all."
"Nevertheless," Lucius turned to his son, "If is too difficult Draco, I could use a glamour. Is there a girl you would prefer? Or a boy?"
Draco looked at his father levelly. "N... no. I couldn't... believe... a glamour." He swallowed convulsively. "If we have to do this I want... someone I trust. I... love."
"Oh Draco!" The older man closed the small distance between them and folded his son into a hard embrace. The movement brought his lips to Draco's ear and he whispered softly, breath ghosting over the sensitive spot where jaw met earlobe, "And I love you. No spell could change that."
"Ssssh. For this, you call me 'Lucius'." He bent to kiss his son. It was intended only as a preliminary comfort, but Draco's lips opened under his, even teeth caught and nipped at his bottom lip before the younger man's tongue pressed inside and then they became so engrossed in sensation that Snape had to abandon throat-clearing in favour of an outright roar of "Lucius!" before the two men noticed and broke apart.
"What is it now?" Two uncannily similar faces turned a paired look of puppy-dog frustration to the portrait at which, in other circumstances, Snape might have laughed outright. Long experience of both Malfoy men had taught him to quell such instincts.
"The curse is quite specific in its requirements," he said. "Before you go off half-cocked I think that you should both be aware of precisely what activities it describes if you are to comply with it."
"Apart from kissing and sodomy?"
Snape nodded. "For example, the spell describes some quite specific acts of humiliation." The portrait's lips twisted in a grimace of distaste. "It requires the Son to ejaculate over his Father's face."
Lucius gave a tight nod. It was Draco who protested.
"No! I... I couldn't. That's not..."
A firm hand settled on his shoulder, curbing the anger. "You will if you have to," his father stated, in the severe tones that he had used to make Draco eat his greens as a child, "But I do not think that you will have to. Severus is right. We do need to prepare for this. It would be as well to be comfortable, and private. Go and tell the house elves to clean the Tower guest suite. And ward the floo, we do not wish to be disturbed."
Draco looked reluctant but left to obey his father's orders. As he closed the door he heard Lucius use a tone of voice that he had never heard before.
"Now, Severus, I don't want the old man wriggling out of this. How do you propose we get the bastard to co-operate?"
Draco was supervising the provision of towels and linen to the rarely used suite of guest rooms, and trying futilely not to think beyond the task in hand, when he was accosted by the pointed end of a parchment memo butting against his chest. He caught it, unfolded it, and frowned at the message. Then he shrugged and, as ordered, apparated to the converted outbuilding which his Great Aunt Letitia had used as a studio. He found that Snape's portrait had been propped up on one of the empty easels while Lucius sorted through the canvasses stacked against the wall of the studio.
"Ah, this will do," he muttered as he pulled out an almost-complete painting and propped it up on a second easel. "I am really, really going to enjoy this."
The canvas he had selected showed a distant view of the Manor, framed by a rose-covered stone archway. Lucius examined it critically. "Dear Aunt Letitia. She was a competent landscape artist, but a hopeless witch. Severus, would you mind checking whether those stones are thoroughly secure?"
Draco was still puzzled, but the ghost of a smile crossed Snape's face. "Lucius, you do have a very devious mind." He strolled off to the right of his frame and appeared in the landscape canvas, a brooding presence that immediately made the chocolate-box scene seem darker. Reaching up a long fingered hand he poked at moss and mortar. "Yes," he said. "It's quite firm. And these thorns are sharp."
Lucius smiled and picked up brush and palette, "Good," he said. "A bonus."
Snape stepped back into the landscape, seating himself on a bench overlooking the house, to watch as Lucius squeezed black, white and burnt umber onto the stained palette and picked up a long badger-hair brush with the same delicacy with which he handled his wand. A few deft strokes delineated a set of efficient looking shackles hung by chains on either side of the archway. Satisfied, Lucius set down the brush and palette and wiped his hands on a piece of rag as he muttered a quick drying charm.
"Well?" he asked.
Snape rose from the bench and reached up to the manacles, giving each a firm tug. There was a clink of chain and the scrape of iron on stone.
"The rust is a nice touch," he said.
Lucius nodded. "One thing I learned in Azkaban was the exact texture and shape of really efficient restraints. Let that be a lesson for you, Draco. No experience is ever wasted."
Snape strolled casually out of the archway and shortly reappeared in his own frame, settling down into the wing-backed chair and folding his arms into the pose in which he had been painted. "You will need a warded room," he said. "There are too many escape routes in here." His gaze indicated the racked paintings.
Lucius nodded, lifting the landscape from its easel and indicating that Draco do the same for Snape's portrait. "That is why I suggested the Tower rooms," he said. "They're secure, and have a very comfortable bed. And only one portrait." He smiled, a smile of which even Voldemort had been wary. "Be thankful that you never knew your grandfather, Draco. He was a sadist and a prude."
Together, they disapparated.
Abraxas Malfoy wrenched at the shackles. The rusted metal raised bloody weals on his scrawny wrists, but did not give.
"Lucius!" He spat. "I might have guessed. Sending your half-blood catamite to do your dirty work."
"You taught me never to sully Malfoy hands with filth," his son replied, with icy calm. "Are you complaining that I learned your lesson too well?"
"Release me, boy!"
"Not until you've served our purpose." Lucius smiled lazily and reached out to pull Draco into the curve of his arm - and into the field of vision of the portrait. "You remember your grandson? He and I have a very special - gift - for you."
Abraxas leaned forward to the full limit of the chains and roared in fury. Draco stepped back, though he knew he could not be threatened. In the background of the painting Snape's fingers tightened on his wand. Only Lucius remained unmoved. He picked up his own wand (twelve inches, ebony, cored with Thestral hair, crafted, like the one that Voldemort had destroyed, by de Rais in Paris) and cast a casual silencing charm.
"That's better," he said. "Severus, if you'd care to leave this part of the ritual to us now..."
Snape moved downhill, and out of the frame. With a second wave of his wand Lucius elevated the canvas and propped it against the end of the bed. "There," he said. "The old reprobate will have to wait until I'm ready for once." He glanced up as Snape settled back into his own chair, then back to Draco. "Now," he smiled, setting his wand down on the bedside table, and turning away from his son, "You had better start by plaiting my hair."
Draco had already reached out to run his fingers through the silky pale locks. He aborted the movement with an exclamation. "What?" The word was tinged with disappointment, he had always envied the way his mother was permitted to caress that hair.
Lucius sighed with exasperation. "Sex between men can be unbelievably messy and I remember what you did with jam and soldiers when you were two. Plait it."
With a rueful scowl Draco complied. As he divided and threaded the stands of hair he was aware of Lucius's own hands moving rhythmically down the line of silver filigree clasps that fastened his robe and, just as Draco finished securing the twisted silk ribbon tie at the end of the plait, Lucius flexed his shoulders and both robe and undergarments cascaded down like water to pool at his feet.
"Mmm," muttered Snape. "You still strip well - for an old man."
Anyone else would have bridled at the addendum, but Lucius smiled reminiscently. Clearly it had been an old joke between them, made more poignant now that the seven year gap between their ages had stretched to twenty. He turned casually to face the portrait, flexing to emphasise muscles still toned by exercise, and watched the black eyes roam appreciatively down his torso to his still quiescent manhood.
"I did consider," he said softly, "Having the artist do a nude portrait of you. But he wouldn't have done you justice."
"When," Draco intervened, "You two have quite finished flirting..."
Snape broke eye-contact with his former lover and looked down at the parchment which Draco had propped on the dresser at the portrait's eye-level. "Yes." He cleared his throat. "The first thing the curse requires..."
"I am not," snarled Lucius, "Going to bugger my son by numbers. I know what the curse requires Severus. Who was it who taught me that all magical texts may be interpreted by the will of the wizard?"
Snape lowered his eyes. His voice was almost inaudible. "Do what thou wilt," he whispered.
It was Draco who responded, reaching his hand to cup Lucius's shoulder, turning him away from the painting and into an embrace.
"That does sound like good advice," Draco smiled, looking down at his father from his present two-inch height advantage. "And I do know something about sex magic too. I had a very good teacher." He glanced at Snape, who scowled back, but without malice.
"Would you have preferred lessons from the Carrows?" he asked.
Draco gave a theatrical shudder and turned back to Lucius. "I would have preferred to stick with tradition and learned from you."
The older man's grin mirrored his son's. "Never too late," he murmured, before claiming his lips again, and turning the attention of his fingers to the fastenings on Draco's robe. As he drew back to pull the silk tie free Draco asked "What did I do with jam and soldiers when I was two?"
Lucius smiled reminiscently as his hands followed the fall of fabric down the length of his son's body, skimming nipples and navel and drawing a line from pubes to cock-tip before curling around his length and pulling gently. Draco rose to the occasion as once, as his father's mouth followed fabric and fingers, lowering himself to his knees without losing contact. Then he looked up, eyes sparking with mischief.
"First," he said, "You'd lick off all the jam. Like this." His tongue swept along the path already mapped by his fingertips, from base to tip, lingering to gather the slickness of pre-come before repeating the action on the underside. Draco watched breathlessly as his father savoured the taste.
"Then," he continued, placing firm hands on Draco's hips to hold him steady, "Then, once the... jam... was all gone, you would suck off the butter..." Draco swore and grabbed Lucius's shoulders for support as a hot mouth enveloped him, tongue swirling around the head of his cock and - oh Merlin! - sucking it free of his foreskin and his mind free of all coherent thought, and he was... He nearly screamed when the mouth withdrew and pale fingers curled around the base, pressing -just so - to prevent the release he craved.
"L... Lucius!" he almost sobbed.
"And then," Lucius was still smiling, whether in amusement at Draco's reaction, or with pleasure at the activities of his other hand on his own erect and eager member it was impossible to tell; "When you had rendered your... soldiers... completely damp and tasteless; you would throw them all over the place..." He rose carefully to his feet, still gripping both their cocks, and half-turned to face the picture.
"The curse actually only requires my come," he said, conversationally, "But I think that we should both enjoy this..."
For a moment Abraxas gazed up at his son and grandson, face red with an anger that turned to horror as the first stream of spunk hit the canvas.
By the time that the furious face had been completely obscured the two men were hanging onto each other as much for mutual support as for mutual masturbation. Draco turned into his father's embrace to rest his chin on his shoulder as the last of their mingled semen ran in a cool trail down his thigh. It took a while for their breathing to steady.
At length Lucius broke them apart and reached for his wand. "It's past time I banished this filth to the attic," he said, suiting the action to the words.
"At least the old man was of some use." Snape observed dryly. "And it seems that the Curse is prepared to accept the participation of a portrait in this ritual." He nodded to the parchment, where the lines describing the act that the two men had just performed were slowly fading from sepia to grey, and into invisibility.
"Indeed," said Lucius. Remind me to send a gift to Headmistress Granger. Had she not kidnapped Phineas our knowledge of the properties of wizarding portraits would be regrettably sparse. It seems that a portrait witness will fulfil the requirement of this curse. Just make sure that I don't have to use a silencing charm on you too, Severus."
The black eyes hooded briefly, then Snape nodded. He watched as Lucius set aside his wand and turned back to his son, plait swinging to fall over his shoulder with the movement. Draco reached out again to take the rope of white hair in his hand and used it to draw his father's head to him.
"I want," he whispered, "To start with this." His lips replaced the caress of his hand, following taut muscle up to the junction of jaw and ear, and then down to claim the older man's mouth. The kiss was long and deep, each testing the boundaries of their commitment to this, and finding none. Exploration turned to instruction, to endearment.
Here: teeth tugging at an earlobe;
Gently: tongue soothing bitten flesh;
More: finger-tips brushing a nipple;
Lower: a nose nuzzling along a trail of fine blond hair;
Slowly: lips following a pulsing vein;
There: a mouth enveloping moist flesh;
Firmer: the slap of a cupped palm on scarlet skin;
Harder: throat sucking; swallowing;
Open: hands spreading trembling thighs;
Deeper: cock pressing through a tight ring of muscle...
They had long since left the constraints of the curse behind. Only Snape noticed the last of the inked lines fade to nothing as Draco drove himself to a howling orgasm, buried balls-deep between the spanked red globes of his father's arse.
When at length they broke apart, eyes bright with unshed tears, it took every ounce of Lucius' willpower to push Draco to arms-length.
"We cannot do this again," he growled.
Draco blinked. "No," he agreed. "It's wrong. But..."
"The spell demands an annual sacrifice." Snape's tones were acerbic. Both living men looked across the room to him, and then down at the ritual parchment where only the dark stains of their co-mingled blood remained.
"Well, then," Draco finished, "Let's keep it for Father's Day."

Communist Party report: Corrupt officials have fled with US$1t as of 2012
Posted Jan 21st 2013, 08:22am by John Kennedy

Sometimes an importXML query in Google Docs immediately gives you the love.
Other times? Not so much.
Having played with this a lot, let me first suggest changing the keyword just a bit. Maybe change it from plural to singular (say, baseball card dealer instead of baseball card dealers), or try removing a term entirely, as with the example above where chicago electric power company delivers nothing, but chicago electric company works fine. I can't tell you why the tool prefers one over the other, only that this has worked for me on occasion. (NOTE: The above example is from the same spreadsheet, with both queries side by side, entered within seconds of each other.)
Also, a bit of advice: don't abuse the functionality. Look, the Google servers can detect when it's getting too many requests from the same IP, and if it thinks anything automated is going on, it just revokes your privileges. So I know it can be extremely convenient and fun to have a single Google spreadsheet with 20 or more XPATH strings delivering results for a list of keywords. But don't be surprised if, after opening that sheet, all other attempted importXML queries suddenly stop working.
Remember, this functionality is hardly perfect. But it works quite well, especially since it's free and all.

BMW F800GS Handguards - An adventure touring motorcycle like the BMW F800GS needs the best protection for its handlebars and controls. Protect your BMW F800GS's bars, levers, and controls with a set of Touratech handguards. Built out of extremely tough plastic, these hand guards give you the benefit of being flexible, absorbing impact instead of transfering it to your handlebars or bar mounts like a rigid aluminum or steel guard.
Available in several different colors, these guards come with all the necessary mounting hardware and are designed to be an exact fit for your BMW F800GS's original handlebars. If you'd like extra wind and rain coverage, additional spoilers are available for purchase separately.
Without a doubt another important pice of gear that I would not choose to go without. I can't say how many times my hand protectors have done their job, and done it well. From protecting my clutch and brake levers in a fall, to saving my own wrists and knuckles they have done their job well. Plus they help break the wind and rain a bit too which helps in those conditions. Easy to install too.
By Sterling Noren on Dec 14, 2011 at 04:12:39 PM
I mounted these hand guards on my F800GS when I bought it a few years back. They are great when riding on overgrown roads or trails where branches are too close. They also help protect your hands in the rain. I have dropped my bike many times and the hand guards have protected my levers and just bounced back into shape after impact. Highly recommend!
By Jeff Lewis on Jan 17, 2012 at 09:01:07 AM
This is a great product and protects your hands from wind, rain, rocks, and the occasional crash. Installation was a snap and they are very durable.
By Jason Adler on Sep 25, 2012 at 07:09:09 PM
Install in a few minutes. I suggest buying a tube of thread-lock when they are on in the right position.

Important - Please Read (7/22/2012)
It is with regret that we have to announce Planes of Eldlor will no longer be updating. This comic has been a labor of love, updating every week for almost the past three years, and has been in the works for more than five years. The trouble is, we're as frustrated as you are with an epic story that's only able to update once per week, and will likely keep up the same slow pace for many years to come. We tried to run a marathon before we learned to walk a mile. It has become a huge time sink, and we're no longer creating - we're stagnating. We have carried on with these thoughts in mind for several months now, ignoring the elephant in the room which was telling us "you can't keep going on like this".
We hate having to spring this on everyone, but we feel the break has to be quick and clean. The time spent making Planes of Eldlor can be spent on other art endeavors - on sculpture and other crafts, on digital painting and artwork, on short-term projects like the coloring book, and short story comics that can be released in their entirety rather than in piecemeal.
To be clear, for the Planes of Eldlor webcomic, this is not a hiatus, this is an end.
For those of you who have stuck with us through this journey, we appreciate everything you've done for us. Thank you for reading, thank you for voting, thank you for the comments (both complimentary and constructively critical) you've left over the years. This has been a tremendous learning process for both of us. We're happy to have shared it with you.
For many, we know this probably means goodbye. If so, fare well, and thank you once again. However, for those who wish to stay informed of our future projects and convention appearances, you can do so via the Red Nebula Studios website or RSS feed. If you'd like to keep up with Sarrah's artwork, the best place is on her deviantArt account. She'll also be posting when she does new work on Twitter.
P.S. We're not going to release the story details of the remainder of Planes of Eldlor at this time. We are still passionate about our story, our characters, and our world. There's a good chance it will reappear in another form. If that does happen, it will be released as a completed story, not in once-a-week chunks as we're doing now. Again, keep an eye on the Red Nebula Studios website for future details.

The brand new Red Nebula Studios website is now live. The new site features my fantasy artwork, as well as crafts, costumes, tutorials and more!Nightlyre and Leezard: Planes of Eldlor Comments (26) | Jul 22nd, 2012 | Permalink
We're sorry to announce that Planes of Eldlor will no longer be updating. Please see the site's homepage for details as to why we came to this decision.Robbie (Leezard) and I (Nightlyre) wish you all the best.
Nightlyre and Leezard: Update! Jul 19th, 2012 | Permalink
The TWC voting incentive for Planes of Eldlor has updated: Sketch: TaliMy *coughdigitalcough* painting mood continues! Another piece of Mass Effect fanart (Tali this time), though it was also another good chance to indulge in some fun cloud-and-sea painting, with a sunset thrown in for good measure. I will say, if you haven't played ME but don't want to see spoilers, you might wish to avoid this one. Like the prior image of Garrus, the vote incentive is the sketch, and the final painting can be seen on deviantArt.
Also, if anyone's interested, I put up progress screenshots from both this painting (here) and the Ocean's Fury sea serpent from last week (here). I'll try to continue remembering to take screenshots as I work on these things. :)

Thank you for the suggestions for future vote incentives! I generally got the vibe of "keep doing what you do", but I'll keep some specifics in mind, like griffons and memes.I promised a dragon painting this week - and here he is! I went back to my sea serpent sketch that I put up as the incentive a couple of weeks ago. I'd intended to do my usual ink + color style on this one, but figured I'd try painting him instead and see how he turned out.
This one was done in about 10 hours total, not including the sketch. I'm working on getting faster at painting, focusing more on action and light than on small details. It certainly makes painting more fun!

Dear Steve and Shirley,
At this very moment, I'm hurting like I've never hurt before. After 8 years, my boyfriend says it's over. I love him sooo much. He is the reason for me living. I was sexuality abused growing up. My uncle even made a sexual advance toward me, dying in the hospital. I've been married twice and both ended, due to the anger I've held. My boyfriend has helped me overcome the majority of my issues but I still have some issues. My last husband refuses to sign divorce papers in which I filled in 2007. He said he would make me suffer. Now its 2013 and I'm still married. I don't have funds to pursue it more. My current boyfriend has given up on me because I'm not divorced. I can't carry a child for him I've had numerous miscarriages. My first husband was gay and the second didn't want children. I was bitter and took my current man for granted. All the while he was there for me. I was in corporate America for 20 years and I lost my job due to merger. He followed me around the world to pursue my dreams. He is 13 years younger than I am. I am sorry and I need him but he says he has sacrificed too much for me to treat him poorly. He wants out. Please help.
Dear Steve and Shirley,
Several years ago my wife and I were separated. During this time we both were intimate with other people. We have since reconnected having put that behind us and completely cut off any past lovers. While out on a business trip with one of my recent employees we were talking about women in general and sharing stories and it was all fun and games until he made a reference to the "best he ever had" and then described my wife to a tee. All the way down to a unique birthmark she has in a most private place. Without prying too much, I was able to get the name... and it was her! I have remained professional at work and haven't told my wife yet but this is becoming too much to bear. I've considered firing him but besides him being a friend he is my best employee. Solid work ethic, very intelligent, and is never late to work. What do I do? If I continue along this road eventually he will meet my wife and I'm concerned that any old feelings may re-surface and cause issues either at work, at home, or both. Help!
Dear Steve and Shirley,
I'm a 36 year old divorced mother of two beautiful daughters. I'm a nurse and I provide for my mother and nephew that both live with me. About 3 years ago I was a victim of domestic violence and left my husband of 7 years. After a tumultuous time my ex is currently in jail for 15-30 years. After taking time to settle my children and myself, I met a man at party for my co-worker. We enjoyed a few dances, cocktails and good laughs. We exchanged numbers and after a week he gave me a call. We started going out and conversing frequently, we both spoke about and agreed that neither of us was ready for a major relationship. He is a wonderful father and very attentive to his daughters. He is also very sensitive and understanding about my past and me being a single mother. As time has progressed my feelings have changed. I want this man in my life. Yes, I know and reflect on the conversation we had previously but I'm in a different place and to be frank, he is not. I know he cares for me just not in the same way. He has not met my children because I am unsure where this is going probably nowhere. Every time I try to walk away I miss him. I have discussed my feelings with him and he responds with the same ole same ole. I care about you and don't want to lose you speech. I've stopped giving him the cookies even though he makes my baby hair curl. I have started to call him less and find myself not taking his calls as often. In my heart I know there is nothing I can do to make him want me but what can I do to move past this? It's been a little over a year since we started dating, how long should I wait? Or should I keep it moving? Love your show, book smart but no common sense.
Dear Steve,
I am over 50 and settled with a nice guy, well maybe too nice it seems. This girl across the street has befriended me because she is a comfortable friend of my man. Never got the notion that they have been sexual partners but it hints of it. Now, she has brought another woman from the Midwest to live with her with no job, car, money, and apparently no cigaretts because she comes across the street to get smokes from my man. Word around town is she is loose, she works her magic on many men as I have seen for myself, to get what she needs done. She needs to do her and stay across the street with that mess! She is loud especially when she gets drunk and then sweats every man at my function! She is a BBW with a big booty and even a friend of my man's came to a function and thought she was his girlfriend instead of me cause she was under him while bar-b-queing. I have seen her often at gatherings at my house getting a bit too comfy with my man, I accidently rubbing against him, I am not happy when she is around. She often refers to him as baby, honey and it irratates me. My man thinks I am over reacting but a loose woman will do your man too! If not already because he is doing too much for her, store runs, taking to subway, or taking walks in the neighborhood and she demands his attention when she comes to my house. One Valentine's Day she referred to him as her boyfriend too, "we gonna share boyfriends today" NOT! I have since moved out but not because I do not want my man because we are still seeing each other but because he will not protect me from the foolishness with these girls. They know what they are doing, young man with good heart, job, and a house. They are taking advantage of his kindness and I do not want to be a part of their madness. I think she may have done my man, that is why she thinks she is allowed to treat me as if I do not matter when it comes to him. He has since slowed down on having them over and taking her places. But I have moved, who is to say he is not doing that when I am not there, cause he talks to me on the cell a certain way when I think she is around. He is always in a hurry to get me off the phone or sound as if I am irratating him! I am a nice looking woman for my age, still fit, works hard on my books to be out starting a business and many irons in the fire. So I am considering moving on, but the drama of a new man is making me sick just thinking of it. What should I do, besides the obvious? I really want to be with my man.
I have a girlfriend who is a nympho for sex, and hates to admit it when you talk about it with her. I have been with this woman, who is 20 yrs younger than me, for over a year now. Within a years time she has had sex with more than ten other men outside of me. I am in love with her, and sometimes she says that she loves me. We don't live together; In fact we live in two different states within 50 miles of each other. She just recently got her own place, which I don't visit often. She mainly comes to visit me. I went to her house last weekend and found that she had moved a man in with her, a sex partner. When I got there she told me that I had to leave and could not stay because he would be coming home. She told me if she gave me some sex would I leave; then turned and called the police on me because I did not leave fast enough. A few days later after knowing she was broke, and had no gas in her car to get to and from work, she came running back to me. Only because she knew I would provide her with gas and money. The guy who resides with her gives her nothing but sex, and he does not even have a job. I really do love this woman but I know she is going to continue to have affairs on me with other men. I'm 56 and she is 36 with 4 children, and 4 baby daddies. She has custody of none of her children. In the beginning that told me what kind of woman she is. Before I took a strong liking to her I feel in love with the sex. I'm just writing in because I want to know what can I do to get this woman to stop doing this. Just about 3-4 months ago she gave me an STD.

I know what you're thinking. What is this blow-dried anchorman going to tell me about watering my lawn that I don't already know? I learned a few things from our handyman, John Bender, who's the manager of Gil-Roy's in Frankenmuth. John appears every Wednesday morning on NBC 25 Today.
Bender says water in the morning. Have a cup of coffee and as the morning sun starts to rise, get out of the house and turn on the sprinkler. He says water your lawn with about an inch of water every week. That should do it. But if your lawn has nearly turned white from lack of moisture (like mine), you may be out there more often, during these drought-like conditions.
Bender says he sells a lot of sprinkers at the hardware store. The impact or rotary sprinkler operates in a circular motion. It covers the most ground. He also sells a lot of oscillating sprinklers and notes the new ones have unique controls that can easily adjust the amount of water you use. Since water isn't cheap, think of it as a way to adjust how much money you're spending, too.
You might also consider a rain gauge to see how much rain is falling at your house. The soaker hoses are good for the kinda lazy among you. Put down the hose, occasionally turn it on and your plants and flowers will get a good soaking.
Hanging baskets need watering everyday. And Bender says use a fertiziler like Miracle Gro on them about every week.

Vermont Shepherd Cheese is the country's most famous and oldest sheep milk cheese. It is created by the Ielpi Major family, who pasture and milk the sheep, and make and age the cheese on their 250 acre farm in Westminster West, Vermont. Come visit our Cheese Store, where you can taste and purchase our cheese. We encourage you to bring a picnic and bottle of wine and soak up the beautiful Vermont countryside. We also have a cheese stand on our farm, where you can taste our cheese, view our fields and see a few of our sheep!
Since 1980, we have made a fine "farmhouse" cheddar according to traditional methods, using only the raw milk from our purebred herd of Brown Swiss cows. The cheese is rGBH- and rBST-free and contains no artificial flavors, colorings, or preservatives. Visitors to Shelburne Farms are welcome to view our cheesemaking in process at the Farm Barn from mid-May to mid-October.
Willow Hill Farm produces award-winning Cheeses and Sheep Milk Yogurt. Our new viewing room and retail is now open for guests every day from 9-4! Best viewing times are Mon-Fri 10-2.
Taylor Farm is a 180 year old farm in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Originally strictly a dairy operation, over the years we have added a cheese making facility, lodging, a farm stand, sleigh rides and educational activities. One weekend a month from May through October we invite all to kick up their heels and join us in celebrating life on a farm in Vermont. Meet and pet all of our barnyard friends, enjoy horse drawn wagon rides, live music, forging demonstrations and other seasonal activities. This summer's schedule is posted on our website on the "Tours" page.
Frog City Cheese is a family owned and operated cheese manufacturing business located at the Plymouth Cheese Factory on the President Calvin Coolidge Historic Site Cheese Factory in Plymouth Notch, Vermont. The factory and retail store are open every day from 9:30-5:00 until the end of October. Visitors can watch the cheese making process through several viewing windows. Please call ahead for days and times. Customers will also enjoy visiting our retail shop which carries a variety of Vermont-made cheeses and other specialty foods. We focus on specialty products from Vermont and New England.
Neighborly Farms produces ten kinds of delicious organic cheeses, all made with wholesome milk from our 48, well-cared for Holstein cows. At our family farm we make cheese the old-fashioned way, by caring for the land and surroundings. It helps us produce the finest cheeses possible.
Come watch Crowley Cheese being made by hand just as it was over 100 years ago by Winfield Crowley. Our landmark factory was built next to a small mountain brook in 1882 in the then-traditional post & beam fashion. Little has changed in over 110 years.
The Factory is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. The Gift Shop is open Monday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., and Sunday, 11:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
We make cheese most Mondays through Thursdays, but please call ahead to be sure if you are making a special trip to see cheese being made.
Cobb Hill Cheese welcomes visitors as viewers or participants. It is essential to call ahead and arrange a time.
