《Flatmates》20

I oversleep, and by the time I am showered and dressed and in the kitchen the boys are up. After the usual pleasantries and small talk I go straight in for the kill.
'There is no point in me making all this money if I can't enjoy it' I start. 'I want to go on holiday, somewhere hot, and just sit by the pool and drink.'
'Then go? It's not like you have to be here' George says as he flicks the kettle on.
'You guys are useless. Honestly. I want you two to come! I don't wanna go on my own' I laugh as I grab mugs from the cupboard.
'You know it's not that easy for us. We need to pre-film and put plans in place for everything else' Alex adds in as he pulls the milk from the fridge.
'Then start now! If you didn't procrastinate you could have all the pre-filming done in one day, another day or two to edit. We could be abroad in a week.' I know I'm pushing my luck, but they could do with the break too.
We continue to discuss it over breakfast, and they finally agree. Alex rings Will and James and they are both game, so all is left is for me to make a phone call.
'Hello?'
'Harry, dig out your swimming trunks. We are going on holiday!'
'What? Since when?'
'Since about ten minutes ago! George, Alex, Will and James are game. Just let me know if any of the other sidemen are coming and I will get it booked today.'
'Umm.. okay? I will text you in a bit.'
***
As soon as I receive the text from Harry, I grab my laptop and start the search. Ethan and Simon have agreed to come, which means I not need to find somewhere that sleeps eight. It sounds easy, but in the middle of summer it really isn't.

I finally settle on a villa in Spain, with an outdoor pool and bar. It has five bedrooms, so it means that some of us will have to share but I am sure they won't mind. Most of the rooms have twin doubles anyway. I book the flights and transfers with the details the boys had given me, and its done. WE ARE GOING ON HOLIDAY!
I email the owner of the Villa to see if I can arrange for them to stock the house ready for us. It is a long shot, but worth a try.
***
I spend the day lazing on the sofa and replying to emails, and before I know it it is 8pm. Alex and George eventually emerge from their rooms with Will, all armed with laptops ready to edit.
'Ten videos filmed between the three of us. We may have to do some editing on holiday but we will try our best' Will laughs as he throws himself on the sofa next to me. 'I could do with a bloody editor!'
'You know, I am a whizz with editing software' I say as I turn the TV off and kick my feet up onto the coffee table.
'Yeah? Go get your laptop then and you can prove it' Will laughs as his laptop kicks into life.
'You would really trust me with one of your videos?' I raise my eyebrows at him as he begins to laugh again.
'Yeah of course. I can re-do it if you fuck it up.'
***
A few hours later I hand my laptop to Will. 'Go on then, what's the verdict?'
Alex and George gather round to watch the video, and all three stay silent for the eleven minutes the video is playing. Then it is over and they stay silent. Alex speaks first.

'Fuck. Holy fuck.'
'Shit me' George adds in.
'Daaaamn' Will whispers. Shit its really bad then.
'I have been editing for years. At least once a week. You just made me look like an amature' Will adds, looking up at me with a massive grin. 'How did you even do that? And so sodding quick!'
'I dunno.. I just did it' I laugh.
'Fancy a few more to do?' Alex asks.
'Hey, I was going to ask that!' George shouts, shoving Alex in the arm.
'Okay? Just give me the files and I will get them done in the next few days' I give in. I really don't mind doing it, it's not like I work all day.
'I feel like our channels are about to get so much more productive!' Will cheers, pulling me into a hug. 'Of course we will pay you. Editors make good money!'
'I'm not doing it for money guys, I am doing it to help you' I giggle into Wills chest.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

Reality Grants One Chance
Some people are lucky, some aren't, some - have terrible luck. Our "hero" is of the latter kind. During young age he got into an accident, which allowed him to learn the fact that he belongs to a rare group of people.. People diagnosed with lung cancer, which he, however survived. Can't say he's lucky, as his life went downhill from that point... Our story happens years later, when his fate decides to make a loop and throw him in the same kind of accident. He gets hit by a truck. Surviving the crash, suffering just a few scratches, he is ultimately "lucky" to find himself out of the hospital in no time.. however every bit of good luck always brings him terrible luck afterwards. This time pushing him maybe a bit too far.. How far? Making him vanish without a trace and find himself in the middle of an unknown forrest. Doesn't sound bad? He can consider himself lucky? Just wait and see...It can always get worse.. always.. .... Congratulations, you've made it through the intro and into the author note! If you by any chance missed the tags and didn't read the warning, please do that now. I really recommend you to. Before you jump to reading, and unintentionally scar yourself, do mind that the story is about a dark, unforgiving world, a world in which you have more opportunities to die a horrible death, than take a piss. Hero doesn't have great luck, he has dumb persistance, he doesn't go through any trial with a breeze, he pays the price of blood, flesh and tears to live..and will be paying for every mistake.. No one outright explains anything to him, just as us for the most part - he is not sure what the hell is going on.. Some real survival tactics are used as a base of the descriptions, they are as important to the world and character as any other element.. Mind that the story starts really slow, but as the stone starts rolling downhill - the pace gets faster.. Every tag for this novel has a reason to be there, so if you don't see the particular element there, don't panic.. it's either well camoufalged, subtle or simply not encountered as of yet. Big thanks to Hobbo, Enyhrye and Hveth! ...not only pointing that the description could be better, but providing invaluable input.. and being patient enough to give fleshed out advice.
