Ides (Bastard near Bethlehem). Content Warning.

Cassie and Johnny. Top Story - March 2026.
I’m the kind of dame you notice. I’m no femme fatale, but you can’t ignore me, at least not until I warn you about what’s coming, then everybody ignores me. Hell, they usually blame me afterwards and give Johnny all the credit for saving the day, but my Johnny couldn’t save a seat at the movies without my help. Sure, he’s brawny, but brainy? Not so much. Like that time I asked him to spot me five bucks, and he said he didn’t see it anywhere on me, and believe you me, he looked but good.

Of Troy
Painted (as a) whore, offered as a bribe, fathered by the greatest rapist masquerading as graceful feathered force. Taken from a king, given to a second son,

Comes in waves? More like chariots. Burning wall perpendicular to the arrow, Achilles in the sand. Dry dunes laughing,

Prose to Show
I had no idea what kind of response my unofficial challenge would have, but I knew February would be sentimental rhyme-heavy, and some of us need breaks from all of that cloying sweetness, especially those who are heartbroken.

Character . Content Warning.
the world cracked open in this eternal February of my grief, scavenging Tuesdays, hoarding them like acorns, dragging Sundays behind a flatbed truck through the rocky red clay,
