[8 years later]
"Astrid, honey, I know that you're nervous right now but you have to stop pacing."
It had been 8 years since Astrid and Draco first confessed their love for each other and they had been together ever since. Like most couples, they had their ups and downs with Draco being forced to join the Dark Lord and getting the Dark Mark. Astrid had supported him throughout that and helped him when he was at his worst but she still loved him all the same. He ended up proposing to Astrid after the war, saying that he couldn't live without her and wanted her to be Astrid Malfoy. She said yes, obviously.
"I know, I know Daisy but what if-" Daisy Weasley cut her off by putting her hands on her shoulders and forcing her to look her in the eyes. "Astrid, Draco loves you and you love him. No more 'what if's. Everything is going to be fine. He's not gonna get cold feet." Daisy had ended up marrying Fred Weasley right after the war and having a baby girl named Penelope, who was now 2 years old. Their daughter had a dark skin tone but lighter than her mothers and curly brown hair with light brown eyes like her father. They were happy as can be and Daisy was already 2 months pregnant with their second child.
"Daisy's right, bub. She always is." Rhea remarked from her chair in the corner, trying to stay out of the way. Rhea has been dating Luna Lovegood since sixth year, after Astrid introduced them, and they were still together. They were very cute together. Rhea found Lunas free spirit to be adorable and Luna enjoyed how carefree her girlfriend was, not caring what people thought about them or their relationship. "Draco has been whipped for you since third year, maybe before that. He's not going to leave you."

"Ok, ok thank you guys." Astrid, soon to be Malfoy, straightened her dress and smoothing down the sides. Her dress was a long, white ball gown with a deep cut down the valley of her chest. Down her arms and around her neck was lace embroidered with bright flowers and leaves. A small olive green ribbon tied around her waist in a small bow in the front. It was beautiful. Her long white hair was tamed and curled by Rhea, who was surprisingly good at doing hair and makeup, her bangs still the same but more straight and even.
There was a knock at the door and it opened before Astrids mother, Ginevra, walked in. She let out a quiet gasp at the sight of her beautiful daughter. "Aww, Ashy, you look so pretty!" Her mother walked over and pulled her into a mama bear hug before pulling back and saying, "I can't believe you got so big so fast. I remember when you would run around the garden bare foot, chasing the butterflies." Astrids face turned more red under her applied blush as her friends chuckled quietly, despite hearing this story before when they were still in school.
"Moma!" Astrid whined in embarrassment as her mother chuckled as well before snapping out of it. "Right, bridesmaid. It's time." Rhea and Luna stood up from their chairs, the first kissing Astrid on the cheek for reassurance. Then Daisy went after them, squeezing Astrids hand before leaving. The bridesmaids and the maid of honor were all wearing long olive satin dresses that were loose and had spaghetti straps with a nice dip in the front.
When they had walked out, her mom turned to her and said, "You ready for this?" Astrid let out a shaky breath and answered, "Well, you know what dad use to say, 'If you wait until you're ready, you'll be waiting for the rest of your life.'" Ginevra chuckled at the memory of her late husband and smiled at her daughter who was so grown up already. "You got this."

They hooked arms before they walked out into the hallway to the wedding ceremony. The hall they were using had mostly glass walls with a glass ceiling so you could see the beautiful clear blue sky. The room had been filled with many different plants, some hanging down, some not. The arch had vines wrapped around it with white and pink roses lined them. And there was Draco Malfoy. He stood at the alter in his completely black suit with his hair combed back as he stared at his future wife in amazement at her beauty. He looked very handsome.
They walked up the aisle, Ginevra and Astrid, arm and arm with little Penelope dropping flower petals in front of them. Once they got to the front, her mother kissed her on the cheek and gave Draco a warning look to not hurt her daughter or there would be hell to pay. She sat down in the empty first row on the brides said.
The first row was left for the people that couldn't come to the wedding, such as Astrids father, Snape, Dumbledore, etc. As well as a preach at the end for Cotton, who had died in the war against Voldemort. Luna had been the one to suggest this as she, along with Daisy, were in charge of the wedding planning. The thought had made Astrid tear up at thought that her father would be at her wedding, even in spirit.
Astrid, soon to be Malfoy, walked up and stood in front of Draco and smiled at the dorky look on his face. Like he had seen an angle or something. "Hi." She whispered to him. His smile broaden just by the sound of her voice, still not sure this is real but once she reached out and held his hand in her own, he knew it was. "Hi"

After they said their vows to each other, the priest turned to Draco and asked, "Do you take Astrid Charlotte Lux to be you lawfully wedded wife? For better or worse, till death do you part?"
Draco, who was still staring at his almost wife, said, "I do."
"Do you take Draco Lucius Malfoy as your lawfully wedded husband? For better or worse, till death do you part?"
Astrid smiled widely that her cheeks were starting to hurt, "I do."
"Then I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." He didn't need to be told twice. He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into a deep kiss. Her arms went around his neck as they kissed and guest cheered and clapped for the newly weds.
They pulled apart and pressed their foreheads together, just like they had 8 years ago after their first kiss. They smiled at each other as they looked at each other, heterochromia looking into pale blue eyes.
"I love you, Draco Malfoy."
"I love you too, Astrid Malfoy."

Badass
At the end of everything, Taylor Hebert realized something. She didn't want to be a superhero. No, she wanted to be a badass. And then her prayers were answered. Imbued with the power of mimetic badassery and the ability to channel a different real-life badass every week, she set out in search for all the best things in life - well, according to Conan, at least. Modeling herself after Conan have been a mistake. Join her on her high-octane, pulp-fiction journey for vengeance, adventure, victory and mayhem. This isn't just uncensored. It's anti-censored! =========================== (Worm/Fate/Badass of the Week) Warning: crack-taken-seriously, over-the-top pulp-fiction style violence, overpowered protagonist, banned on two other sites. Hell, even the light-hearted omake jokes in this were considered too subversive to persist. ============================ AN: There’s this really, really excellent website called Badass of the Week. I’ve wasted many an hour browsing through, marveling at all the crazy shit some humans are capable of. Check it out, then come back and read this in a few days when the awesome starts to wear off. It’s worth it (all 576 entries). Back? Good! Anyways, I was looking through it recently while thinking about who I wanted to make expy’s of for my The Flying Dutchman quest ship captains (which now languishes in indefinite hiatus), and I had this idea. What if Taylor, wanting to be a badass, triggered with the power to be a different Badass every week? With a bit of Fate-style ability to draw on the tools associated with the legend (but to a just marginally less ridiculous degree), and a drive and aura to be and do badass? And thus, Badass was born in it’s somewhat cracky glory. Enjoy.
8 188You Only Smol Twice: A Smol Detective Story
This is a fanfic set in the universe of They Are Smol, a delightful series of stories by TinyPrancingHorse which you should totally go and read. It’s the third in my own series about a human investigator in a galaxy full of aliens who are much bigger and stronger than any human. Obviously, there are plenty of spoilers for the previous two stories in here so consider yourself warned. After many successful investigations, Oscar Williams has his loyalty to his adopted alien family sorely tested. What appears to be a simple theft turns out to be anything but, and to capture the perpetrators Oscar might just have to betray his own species… Formal Disclaimer: I do not take credit for the original setting, this story is set in an alternate version of the 'They are Smol' universe, written by the one, the only TinyPrancingHorse TPH takes many forms and is known by many names. He is like Nyarlathotep, only smaller and cuter and more prancey. TPH also has a website should you require more Smol Shenanigans in your life. Which you do, so get over there and read it.

8 187The Blackgloom Bounty
In the dark days before the end of the first millennium, Scotland (or Scotia as some called it) was a leaderless hodgepodge of tribes, clans and warring factions all bent on the same thing--domination of the land. Wizards, sorcerers and magicians still plied their trade, though much of their power had given way to the machinations of men and their war machines. To the south of Scotia lay the realm of the Saxons ruled by Ethelred the Unready and his ruthless minions. To the west, Ireland had just come of age. Everywhere else the constant threat of a lightning swift Viking incursion loomed over the land.Growing up in this lawless world is a displaced Daynin McKinnon, heir to an ancient familial keep on the island of Rhum. He and his grandfather Ean scratch out a living amongst the Saxons, careful never to divulge their clan heritage. That all changes when Kruzurk Makshare chooses Daynin as the ideal prospect to help him bring down a vile sorcerer named The Seed of Cerberus, ferreted away in his impregnable fortress at Blackgloom. Little does Kruzurk know that in so doing, he will launch young Daynin, himself and others on a vast, dangerous quest that no one could have foreseen. *****One Hollywood producer has dubbed this three book fantasy epic from Jon Baxley as, "BRAVEHEART meets THE LORD OF THE RINGS." Real places, people and events flesh out this fast moving, multi-faceted semi-historical series but fear not fantasy readers. There's more than enough of the magical, mystical mayhem you have come to expect from great fantasy. Romance readers, too, will enjoy the 'spice' in these characters--and there are a lot of them--both human and otherwise. And if you're into Viking lore, this series certainly is for you.When someone asks the author about his series, he answers with, “There were far more surprises in this tale than I ever expected and it's not over yet! This volume and the next two contain hundreds of pages filled with rollicking good times, fast moving action and a page turning adventure you will not soon forget."Books In The Scythian Stone Saga:THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY Episode 1 - 500 pagesTHE REGENTS OF RHUM Episode 2 - 800 pagesTHE SCIONS OF SCOTIA Episode 3 - 800 pages
