*Rises from my grave like Mushu from Mulan* I LIIIVVVEEE!

Except Mushu is a dragon and I'm a sloth. Anyway.

ON THE SUBJECT OF PART 2 FOR CHAPTER 35 (the Cheslock x fem!Violet one): I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN, I WILL GET THERE, JUST VERY, VERY SLOWLY!

On the subject of that chapter, my reviewer Yusuki6; thank you for your review/help, excellent ideas as always. I'll use James as Cheslock's first name as I have no strong feelings one way or the other. And it's close enough to Jessamine which I picked as his genderbent name so, yeah, cool.

Also: grace; great minds think alike, Cheslock and Violet will be having twins, one boy and one girl. Lucky them. (Even I can't tell if that's sarcasm).

Also; to my reviewer P, if that IS your real name: I am glad you reviewed for that chapter! It was one of my favourites, I am glad someone else hated it too!

And lastly a thanks to CampionSayn for their reviews. Thank you for reading!

Hopefully y'all will keep reading and I will update again but no promises, don't say I didn't warn you. The warning is in the fic summary. Anyway...

Ornament:

"I can accept you liking another man but did it really have to be that one?!"

Edgar Redmond sighed through his nose as he listened through the door as Lady Greenhill lectured her only son, Redmond's boyfriend Herman.

It wasn't as though he hadn't known what the rest of the Greenhill family thought of him but it was one thing to have it shown subtly and quite another to hear the mother of the man he loved say it outright, even if it wasn't to Edgar himself.

It wasn't like his uncle's reputation helped things but it was mostly his own fault. Greenhill had written to his family about his friends before and he had only ever told the truth, and the truth was that Redmond was a foppish, ditzy, manipulative sod would was just a pretty ornament with no real use, more commitment issues than brains and whose only talent was poetry.

Greenhill had undoubtedly used much more flattering terms when he described Redmond in his letters but that didn't make it any less the truth.

He sighed again as he heard footsteps, walked a few paces back, and pasted an innocent expression on his face to make it look as though he hadn't been standing on the other side of the door.

Luckily it was Herman and not his mother who stormed through it. Unluckily he could see right through Redmond no matter how well the other blond thought he hid his emotions.

His eyes gave him away, the ex-Green Lion prefect had always said. He was the only one who could look into Edgar's eyes and see into his heart, that was part of what made him so special to Redmond.

"How much of that did you hear?" Greenhill asked.

Redmond dropped his gaze, "pretty much all of it," he admitted, because he would never lie to Herman. "It's okay."

His beau scowled thunderously, "it most certainly is not!" He said vehemently. He grabbed Redmond's arm and towed him into the room, "you all listen here!" He said hotly to his mother, father and two sisters. "Edgar Redmond is the man I love! He has done more, sacrificed more and loved me more than any of you could understand! And I love him more than you know. He is talented, intelligent, kind, gentle and perhaps the most loyal person I have ever met! If those traits mean nothing to you then shame on you!" He yanked Edgar forward and kissed him in front of his entire family.

Lord Greenhill clapped a few times, "well said Herman," he said calmly before picking up his newspaper again. Greenhill's sisters rolled their eyes and shook their heads at their brother's antics before going back to their embroidery.

Lady Greenhill looked as though she was fighting both dismay and laughter, "well, in that case," she turned to Redmond, "welcome to the family."

"I'm glad to be accepted," Edgar replied, still dazed. What had just happened?

Herman's mother still seemed to be fighting down her mirth, "good."

So long!

Also, I have recently updated another chapter in my Weston Supernatural fic. I know I am trash but please read it.

Until next time! Bye!
