(AU) This story and the one above brought me into the story so completely that I was feeing the love/hate/sadness/pain/happiness that all of the characters were feeling in a way that I haven't felt in a long time. “Well, Merlin,” he says, “give me time.” Top 5 Fic!Īshes Embers Flames by unpossible - Merlin/Arthur (Explicit) Words: 65K COMPLETE - Merlin sees him across a crowded living room and promptly spills his beer down the back of the couch and over some hapless stranger’s neck.

Ardua domanda, penso che potremmo scoprirne l'arcano, soltanto cercando di capire i tempi della Terra, ricercando il silenzio puro della Natura e lasciando l'avidità e l'ego smisurato svolazzare via come una nube temporalesca spazzata via dal vento regolatore! ![]() E' un libro che ha bisogno di tempo, così come ne ha bisogno la Terra con i suoi tempi e noi esseri umani, soprattutto negli ultimi decenni, tendiamo ad accelerare sempre più, perdendo, anzi non cogliendo le sfumature che la Natura ci regala.

Well, if you’re a woman, just think about all of the cosmetics, make-up, diet pills, and clothes you purchased in the past 6 months. The Beauty Myth talks mainly about how low self-esteem in women has a gigantic economic and political value for the market.
