 My promise to you always and forever
Dorian’s steps slowed and by the time the lights turned on and a large mass of people jumped out, shouting surprise in his direction, he was standing still. His jaw was set, feet planted firmly on the rug, he could have been mistaken for a statue. Several seconds passed as the party-goers began their revelry, their excitement not quite spreading to the birthday boy. Celebrating his birthday in March was still relatively new, his parents hadn’t learned his actual birthdate as he had arrived at the orphanage without any documentation. It wasn’t until he met River that he learned anything about his biological family or his true birth story. Even before then, Dorian didn’t like to make a big fuss over his birthday. His mum would always attempt a party but Dorian preferred to keep things quiet and small. Looking around Dorcas’ large living room there were far too many people for one social event for Dorian’s liking, even if he did consider each of them a friend. Well, most of them, there were a few faces dotted in the crowd that he wasn’t as familiar with, spouses of colleagues and such, but for the most part it was a gathering of basically everyone he had ever socialized with and it was overwhelming. Dorian cleared his throat and forced a smile which looked pained and unnatural. “I was not expecting this,” he admitted truthfully, “thank you.” Dorian stuffed his hands in his trouser pockets and inhaled through his nose. “Wow.” He wasn’t sure what else to say, or what he was expected to do now but he certainly didn’t want to be considered rude so he would play along for the duration of the party, and pray it wasn’t going to last all night. He stepped further into the room and approached Dorcas. “Where’s Ariel?” he asked quietly, smiling and looking at the other guests who were still shouting their congratulations at having been born decades earlier.

He was so rigid! Everyone at the party probably knew that 1. Dorian was going to hate this and 2. That Dorian definitely hated this. But he was at least being a good sport about it, so that was something. He was even talking nicely and not all ticked off at the evening. It was going better than Dorcas thought it would. "She's playing with Aurora and the other kids in a special play room. Come on," She said, linking her arm through his and steering him down the hallway, knowing he'd want to see her first and foremost. "Happy birthday." She said, even though his birthday had been a couple of days ago now and she'd given him his gift on the day, "Ariel's had a great time. She and Aurora did some horse riding and went swimming, then she decorated you a special cupcake for later," She chuckled, "She had a decent nap this afternoon, too, so she'll probably be up until all hours." Dorcas sighed, "The joys of parenting, dude." Although those joys were not really all that joyful and Dorcas was not looking forward to going through all this stuff with kids of her own. She loved Aurora, she was all grown up and a proper kid. She loved Ariel and even though Dorcas had known her since she was a baby, she could always hand her off to her mum, dad, Geralina, or even back to Dorian, not that Dorcas ever really wanted to, Ariel was a darling, but the option was there. She wasn't going to have that option with her own crotchlings.

The other kids? How sodding large was this party? Dorian felt his jaw clench even tighter – if that were possible, but he forced a smile and allowed Dorcas to lead him away from the party guests and move through her mansion toward wherever the children were playing. Dorcas provided a rundown of Ariel’s day; it sounded as though she had had a very fun time. The blonde little toddler always enjoyed playing with Dorcas and Aurora, though Dorian was a little concerned that Dorcas’ stepdaughter’s manners weren’t the most appropriate model for his niece, but then again neither were Dorcas’. “Thank you for taking her today. I am sure she had loads of fun.” He pushed himself a little more and added, “and thank you for the party.” He didn’t really mean it, and she knew that, but regardless of how he felt about the affair, she had clearly put in a lot of thought, time, and effort into the evening and it was for his benefit. He just thought she might have known him better than this by now.

Thanks for the party? Dorcas very much doubted that Dorian meant that. "Don't thank me," She said, "I merely provided a venue. Julian wanted to throw you a party and my parents insisted on decorating." She shrugged, knowing Dorian's idea of a good time was with minimal people and telling him whose idea this all was would hopefully get her out of the dog house she figured she'd be in after tonight. "Just in here." She said, indicating to the door. Julian had insisted the night be family friendly so the kids had a room they could play in and the adults had a room they could play in, too. The play room for the kids was set up with an indoor jungle gym, slides and ball pits, big foam shapes to mess around with. There was an ice cream bar hidden out of sight for the time being, but once it was food time she figured the kids would love it, all five or so of them, although judging by the noise, the giggles and laughter, it was easy to think there were more children. "I'll see you back in the party room." She said, giving him a wink before she left him too it, turning a few steps after leaving, "Oh, and Immy sends her apologies, something about work coming up." Dorcas shrugged her shoulders and turned back around, disappointed that she'd not yet met Dorian's girlfriend, but she'd received a letter from her, so she supposed that was something.

“Julian?” That was an unexpected turn, but then it did make more sense than Dorcas – who had known Dorian for several years now in a personal capacity and many more in a professional one – throwing him a surprise party for his birthday. Though Dorian hadn’t thought the brothers were close enough for that sort of gesture yet. Things were much better between the pair now that Dorian no longer suspected that Jules was trying to wriggle his way into Ariel’s life only to abandon her as he had done their sister time and time again. They even got together for friendly chats without the children from time to time, though in truth Tristan’s and Ariel’s playdates made up a lot of their time spent together. Perhaps Julian was attempting to take their blossoming friendship to a more familial level which, if that were the case, meant that Dorian would need to step things up as well.
Dorcas left him for the adults part of the soiree as an excited Ariel ran up to him. “Dory-nan!” Dorian scooped up the little princess and gave her a snuggly greeting. He complimented her dress, at which point Aurora appeared and demanded remarks on her attire as well, and he played with them for a few minutes before Ariel became distracted by one of the tinier babies. He took this as his opportunity to return to the other room to properly greet his guests. And maybe have a glass of wine.
“I hear you were the mastermind behind this…event.” He sidled up next to Julian, waiting for a lull in the conversation to interject. “Thank you. You put far more effort into this than I am worth.”

 When the world's against me is when I really come alive The word mastermind made Jules' ears prick, and a wide smile spread across his face as he turned to see Dorian approaching. He reached an arm out to pat Dorian jovially on the back, giving his shoulder a squeeze. "Nonsense. I've never had a brother to throw a party for, and everyone here seems to agree with me that you are worth the effort." The bullshit flowed easily from Jules' lips as he grinned charmingly at his half-brother, glancing around the room at all of the people who apparently adored Dorian. Jules had grown somewhat fonder of him over time, to the point where he actually enjoyed the man's company, though if Dorian where to ever set a foot wrong, Jules wouldn't hesitate to sweep in and take Ariel from his clutches. Part of him was waiting for that day to come. The rest of him was surprised at how much he was getting along with Dorian. River would be proud. Especially since she wasn't privy to Julian's inner thought processes. Could dead people read people's thoughts? He was sure she would be watching over him if there was a way for her to do so, but Julian's ideas of the afterlife were fickle at best, he had no idea if she was out there somewhere smiling down at him, but he would like to think so. He liked to think that she was watching over Ariel. And not reading his mind with crazy ghost powers. Dead people aside, Jules had exciting news for the living for tonight, though he still hadn't decided whether to give Dorian his gift in the middle of the party, or wait for a quieter moment to sprinkle shock and chaos into his brother's world. Again. Perhaps he should let Dorian decide. "I have a rather special gift for you," Jules confessed in hushed tones, eyes twinkling with anticipation. "I can give it to you now, or we can find a quieter spot, it's up to you." He gave a mysterious wiggle of his eyebrows, in high spirits as he waited for Dorian to choose public shock or private bewilderment. Jules rather hoped he would go the public route. _______________________ tag: Dorian Michael Humbert and Everyone! words: 397 notes: <3 outfit: Muahahahahaaaaa![googlefont="Dancing Script"][googlefont="Cinzel Decorative"] |

 Let the eye of vigilance never be closed
Clarice returned just in time to usher Alastor behind the sofa, saving him from having to make the decision himself. Clar was good for that, and he gave her a chaste peck on the lips as the ducked to keep the surprise alive just a little bit longer. Alastor was pleased for the opportunity to jump up and shout "surprise" along with the other guests, if only to save his knees from squatting longer, and definitely to get away from the smell that had been circulating the area. Moody's eyes were trained on Dorian's face, mildly amused at the clear shock and civilized annoyance on the uptight man's expression. Yes, that was definitely worth making the trip out.
Alastor put his hand around his wife's waist as they chatted with another couple and when her champagne glass was emptied, Alastor agreed to go fetch her another one. He was happy to let her be the one to get a little tipsy tonight. She was nearly always the responsible one, having to care for Alice while he was out working and rarely getting to socialize herself. He fully believed in the saying 'happy wife, happy life' and was already expecting to help a wobbling Clarice to bed at the same time as Alice would need to be going down. His wife was a light weight. "I'll see what food I can find you as well," he added before heading off toward one of the posh trays full of appetizers and alcohol.
"Are we talking presents?" Moody interjected, having heard hushed tones and naturally needed to ear hustle. Dorian and his newly found brother had just broken off from their group and now the idea was being floated that Dorian not open his gifts in plain view of all the curious onlookers who would surely make him feel even more discomfort than the party itself had already caused. Alastor enjoyed Dorian's company, but he'd come for the schadenfreude as much as anything else. "Come on then, Humbert. Let's all see what you've got there."

The compliment was appreciated, but unnecessary. Especially from Julian. Dorian had grown quite fond of his brother since they'd first met and he inferred that Julian felt the same towards him. The notable hostility between them had all but vanished and while Dorian couldn't say for certain that their relationship now mirrored that of any other siblings - never having any to compare it to - he did consider Julian a part of his family now. Although, clearly the man didn't know him well enough to know he did not like parties. Nor gifts. "You really shouldn't have-" he began, but a booming voice interjected from behind them. Giving a quarter turn, Dorian noted that Alastor Moody was there and insisting that Dorian open his gift in front of everyone. Bollocks. Dorian gave a proper smile, though tight, and looked back to Julian. "I suppose now is as good a time as any." It wasn't.

When the world's against me is when I really come alive An angel in the form of some loudmouthed bloke appeared at Julian's shoulder and demanded that Dorian receive his gift in public. Julian beamed at the man, and gave a soft chuckle. He could see that Dorian's smile was tense, even though he was trying his best to play along with whoever this man was. At least Jules would have a scapegoat if Dorian got his knickers in a twist after this. It was all this man's fault, all of it, Julian had no say in the matter, clearly, his hand was being forced. Also playing along, Jules blew out a breath, looking hesitant and glancing around the room. Quite a few of the guests were looking in their direction now. Perfect. "If you're sure," Jules gave Dorian a comforting nod, eyes expressing the utmost sympathy towards his brother. He had to believe that this was entirely his own decision. "River had boxes of old things up in her attic and I found this when I was looking through some of our mother's belongings." Jules reached into the inside pocket of his waistcoat and pulled out a small envelope that looked like it had seen better days. The paper was wrinkled, the seal long ago torn, and it appeared that it had been taken out and read regularly over the years. On the front of the envelope, in his mother's beautiful handwriting, were the words "Baby L'Amour". Julian had read it at least twenty times since he had found it. It was rather personal, but the letter held details of Dorian's father and a whole other side of his family that he had not yet discovered. Jules had known how uncomfortable Dorian had been when they had first met. It had taken a long time for him to warm up to Jules, and to accept that he had family now. How could Jules possibly keep him from going through that all over again? He just couldn't. He held the letter out to Dorian. "It's addressed to you. It's not an extravagant gift, or some fancy tie rack, but it's a gift of family. Your family." Would it be inappropriate to excuse himself to go and cackle maniacally in another room? _______________________ tag: Dorian Michael Humbert and Everyone! words: 403 notes: <3 outfit: Muahahahahaaaaa![googlefont="Dancing Script"][googlefont="Cinzel Decorative"] |

He couldn’t see the harm in opening a present or two before making an excuse and wandering off somewhere a little more private. Parties were not what Dorian considered as a good time. He would much rather have celebrated his birthday at home playing with Ariel or maybe had a few friends over for tea. It made sense now that Leo had skirted around solidifying plans for this weekend when Dorian had broached the subject; not for birthday plans but simply to get out of his head a bit. He had been working a lot, per usual, and his relationship with Immy seemed perpetually interrupted. At no point, however, had he ever expected nor wanted gifts, but Jules seemed eager enough and Moody was being his demanding self.
Dorian smiled tightly as Julian began explaining the gift, and the thin smile slowly faded to a sober expression. A letter to him from his birth mother. He wasn’t sure how to react to the surprise, which was much more shocking than the party itself. His half-brother held out the envelope for him and Dorian hesitated before taking it. The envelope had been opened and the creases showed frequent wear and handling but the script on front of the envelope was written with care; a gentle swirling cursive that looked a little reminiscent of his own handwriting.
Either the room had become eerily silent or Dorian had gone deaf. Staring at the envelope in his hands, he managed to mutter a “thank you” to his brother but his eyes remained fixed on the item he held. After another second, Dorian pulled the letter from the envelope and scanned the first few lines before folding it back up and stuffing it into the envelope once more. He cleared his throat. “I – ” he paused to keep himself from stammering. Dorian clenched his jaw and ran his tongue over his teeth before taking a deep, steadying breath and raising his head. He looked at Julian, the stiff smile back in place. “Thank you.” After another moment, and a quick scan of the room to confirm that all eyes were most definitely on him, he added, “if you’ll excuse me.” He flashed another well-intentioned smile as he exited the room and attempted to find somewhere more private to take in the information.

When the world's against me is when I really come alive The tension on Dorian's face was delightful as he took the letter from Jules and gave it a quick look over. The only thing that would have been more satisfying was if he had actually read it there and then, or even better, read it out loud. Alas, Dorian excused himself with a tight smile and left the room, leaving Jules with his overwhelming sense of glee that his little plan worked out perfectly. Dorian really shouldn't complain, Jules had just solved one of the biggest mysteries in the man's life, he'd given him a father, and who knew what other family. Two thanks yous were a start, he supposed, as he helped himself to a drink and took a smug sip, eyes flitting over the man who had helped him without even knowing. The room was filled with an air of awkwardness and Jules had to fight hard to keep himself from laughing. _______________________ tag: Dorian Michael Humbert and Everyone! words: 187 notes: <3 outfit: Muahahahahaaaaa![googlefont="Dancing Script"][googlefont="Cinzel Decorative"] |

The front door swung open and Rodolphus’ boisterous laughter filled the silence, the only other sound in the room was the footsteps of the birthday boy off for a sulk which Rod failed to notice. Half a moment later, Roddy stumbled into the foyer, nearly tripping over the threshold and catching himself by falling into the door which slammed against the wall loudly. Rodolphus and his brother had been out drinking most of the day, following the good news that their surrogate was pregnant with twins. Rodolphus would finally have a proper heir and Dorcas was to be a mum officially. It was cause for celebration and with Dorcas off with her own plans, probably scowling, Rodolphus had called on his brother. “Bring me that sweet cunt, Meadowes!” Unaware of the party that had just come to a standstill in the lounge, Rodolphus shouted out for his wife in a not uncommon fashion as he stumbled further into the chateau.

 Don't be afraid I'll take the blow for you His brother was going to have another child. Two children, to be exact, and Rabby had spent half of their celebration goading Rodolphus that he was going to have twin girls and still have no heir. It was hilarious and the more he drank, the funnier it got. They were both completely shit-faced by the time they got back to Roddy's place. Rabby didn't dare go home to Lilith in his current state, but he gave no shits about imposing on Meadowes. Roddy seemed to have ideas about imposing on Dorcas in different ways, and Rabby, who had paused in the hallway to peer at his hair, which was sticking straight up in the air for some reason, grimaced at the thought. "Not while I'm here, shithead!" he called, following Roddy and pausing in the doorway of what appeared to be a very occupied room. Rabby leaned against the doorframe (mostly because he needed it to hold him up). "Helloooo, people." He gave a little wave to the guy standing closest to him. _______________________ tag: Rodolphus Adalrich Lestrange and everyone! words: 206 notes: <3 outfit: Trashed.[googlefont="Nothing You Could Do"][googlefont="Cinzel Decorative"] |

Dorcas mixed and mingled chatting to people and making sure they had enough to drink. She'd made sure to pull out all the good stuff the Roddy kept hidden away. There was a good chance that he knew she'd use all his good stuff and so he'd swapped it out for the cheaper alcohol, but there was also the chance he didn't give a shit. He was weird like that, somethings were important, others were not. Alcohol? Well he was loaded, he would always be able to afford the crazy prices on all the special crap so what did it matter of a bottle or 50 ended up getting drunk at a party he wasn't invited to?
Somehow, and Dorcas wasn't sure how, but Moody had managed to make Dorian the centre of attention. Everyone seemed to be peering to get a look at what Julian had gotten the birthday boy. Dorcas have zero shits. Julian had been the one to want this party and so he probably wanted to show off something. Whatever it was Dorcas preferred the look of a gin and tonic over whatever was happening with Dorian and his half-twat-brother.
Knocking the entire gin and tonic back in record time, Dorcas put the glass down in time to see Dorian walking away. Everyone seemed to be standing around awkwardly and she could see her parents whispering to one another. As if right on cue, Roddy made his grand entrance, followed by his brother. Dorcas rolled his eyes, not in the least bit surprised that he was home early with his brother in tow. No doubt Rabby was too scared to return home, his ice-bitch wife would probably freeze him to death somehow, possibly with a large freezer. Dorcas was calling it now, that was what Lilith would do with Rabby, she'd take his wand, knock him out and lock him in a deep freezer.
Dorcas ignored her husband's call because he could go fuck himself, although judging by his state he'd probably fall asleep twenty seconds in. How in the hell had her parents let her marry a giant twat? Really, they were really off their game. Dorcas just lurked at the back, making herself a new G&T, not bothering to wait for the house elf to circulate the trays with more ready made drinks, and besides, at least this was she could make it that much more stronger.

They all shouted 'Surprise' and Dorian was clearly surprised. That was the aim, right? He didn't seem like the sort that would like this sort of thing, but Jasper supposed Dorian had a lot of friends and family now that wanted to spend time with him and let him know that he was loved. Jasper hadn't known him for long and he didn't know him as well as some of the others that were there tonight, but he certainly felt as though he could call Dorian a friend, he was a decent chap to get along with.
After the initial surprise, Jasper made his way quickly to Geralina. He recognised a lot of faces there but he was most comfortable with Geralina, not just because she was the most beautiful woman in the room but because they'd been friends for what felt like forever and it was just easy. He chatted with her a while until Dorian came back and Moody mentioned something about gifts. Jasper peered curiously, watching to see what it was that Dorian had been given by Julian. Jasper wasn't fully aware of everything that went on between the two but he had the general gist of it; half-brothers that had found one another after never knowing each other. Pretty simple.
Dorian seemed to look over his gift and then leave to take a moment for himself. Jasper grimaced a little and looked to Geralina, "Maybe he just needs a-" He was cut short by the man of the house loudly announcing his need for his wife. Jasper visibly cringed and then Rabastan popped his head around the corner. "If only I had someone to romance like that." He sighed wistfully, clearly sarcasm because honestly, who would ever want that? Jasper had known Dorcas for quite some time, and while he wasn't as close with her as he was with Geralina and Paris, he was certain that even Dorcas wasn't impressed with that kind of thing. Then again, she was a bit nuts and unpredictable at times, so who even knew!
