A Discovery Of Witches - Tumblr Posts

For everyone who did not get up to watch this on Sunday morning, for you my pretties 

One day, there’ll be just one species. Humans. And at first, they won’t notice the difference because they’ve never noticed us, but gradually, eventually, they’ll come to see that all the magic has seeped out of the world. And they’ll look around them and everyone will be the same.

You writhed on the bed, tears pricking the corner of your eyes. You pulled at your clothes, feeling so hot you were sure you saw steam rising from your skin. 

“What is happening?” Matthew asked, demanding answers.

“It’s a curse… there’s no medical explanation for their symptoms otherwise…” Marcus stated, holding your wrist to feel your erratic pulse. 

Matthew couldn’t bear to watch you in pain, he placed a gentle hand on your chest, feeling your heart himself. You moaned at the contact, arching your back and shutting your eyes. You whimpered the second he pulled away, “No!” you spat before pulling his hand back to you. You felt his hand ghost over your chest and down your torso. Everything in you felt like it was on vibrate.

“I think… I think it's a lust curse…” Marcus said, slight confusion on his face as he watched how you reacted to Matthew.

“Libidinosa?” Matthe asked, “Nobody has used that curse in ages. Last I recall it was the witch trials. Used to lure men in so witches could harvest life power…” he said.

Marcus shrugged, “There is only one way to make it go away…” Marcus said, slowly walking backwards out of the room.

“You can’t be serious…” Matthew replied, looking to Marcus before you slid his hand between your thighs.

“As a heart attack. I’m gonna go take a walk…” Marcus said, shutting the bedroom door.

Matthew looked down at you with pity, “Unfortunately mon coeur he is right…” yet he didn’t move his hand, waiting for your consent.

“I… got myself… into this mess… help me out… please…” you begged him; you cursed yourself for trying a spell from a ripped page, not knowing it would lead to this. 

“Are you sure?” he said hesitantly.

“Yes!” you squealed, trying to rub yourself through your clothes. 

Matthew unbuttoned his shirt as he walked over to you, discarding it on the floor. As soon as he climbed on top of you he felt the heat radiating from you. Your skin was on fire as he touched you, your body lurching at the contact.

“Should I just get straight to it?” he asked, not entirely sure what you needed.

You ripped your underwear off, lifting your skirt up. “Now!” you whined. 

Matthew kissed right above your clit, teasing you before he dove in. He devoured you like a man starved, licking and sucking furiously. Your body shook as he held your hips down, your back arching off the bed. He slid his fingers into your greedy, dripping cunt. Pumping them in and out slowly before picking up speed. You could feel yourself starting to topple over; clutching his hair and pushing his face into you. Your eyes rolled back as you came hard on his face. He didn’t let a single drop of your essence go to waste, kissing over your inner thighs as you started to relax. You weakly reached out for him. 

“Thank you…” you said sleepily, feeling the spell fade away from you. 

Matthew pulled your skirt down, helping you adjust so you could sleep. “My pleasure,” he smiled cheekily. “You should sleep. It’ll help after all you’ve been through today.” 

You nodded, not putting up a fight. You did, however, pull him down with you. You snuggled into his chest appreciating his soft skin while you traced over his various scars. You both found it therapeutic. 

“Goodnight, mon coeur.” he said, kissing the top of your head. 

“Je t’aime.” you mumbled.

A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night and The Book of Life. All by Deborah Harkness. 

Episode 2 of the TV show A Discovery of Witches (starring Matthew Goode and Teresa Palmer) airs on AMC and BBCAmerica tonight so I thought I’d write down why I love this show and this series of books so much! 

I first read the books last summer. I was in a really dark place. I was stuck in a dead in job with a company that is now going out of business. I was broke with few friends. I had no future prospects either. I was having VERY dark thoughts - like what would be the point of living when there was no future for me?  Then I saw the SkyOne trailer for this new show that would air shortly in England. I was hooked. I started reading the books and soon bought copies for myself. There was suddenly nothing else in the world for me but this wonderful and rich All Souls Universe. 

A Discovery of Witches centers on  Diana Bishop, a college professor who discovers an ancient magical book in the library. She’s a witch who’s ignored her powers. She’ll need them when a vampire scientist, Matthew Clairmont finds her soon after she discovers the book. Their frosty relationship turns to friendship and then to love. They’ll need each other as other creatures (vampires, daemons, witches) go after Diana’s power and the ancient book, Ashmal 782. 

Throughout the series (a fourth book, Time’s Convert came out last fall), Diana and Matthew go through life and death to find the book. They travel back in time even to the 1590′s in search of it. There’s a council of creatures that may try to kill our heroes if they catch them. We meet Diana’s witchy aunts and learn how her parents really died. We meet Matthew’s sometimes scary vampire family - including hunky Gallowglass - and delve into Matthew’s very dark past. We also have a plenty of villains, including evil witches and evil vampires (like the monster Benjamin - who just happens to be Matthew’s son and has some pretty sick motivations that we learn about in The Book of Life). 

Not only did the supernatural elements attract me to this series, but the romance was a big draw. I’m a sucker for an epic romance and these poor lambs go through A LOT. There’s mystery, suspense, horror, thrills and so much more. Many folks have compared it to Twilight or Harry Potter. I think it’s more like Charmed. That show also had a forbidden romance (a couple actually), an ancient book (Book of Shadows!), all kinds of creatures (demons, whitelighters, witches) and a shady governing body that tries to keep humans from noticing creatures (the Elders). 

My favorite character in the books is Matthew. He’s a 1500 year old vampire with layers and layers and layers. He’s such a complicated person. Not only does he have blood rage, which can causes him to go mad at times, his conscience is killer. When they first meet, Diana finds him exasperating. He’s moody and sometimes too controlling. He’s got secrets that have secrets and Diana only finds them out a little at at time. Yet, he is also loving and loyal and kind to his friends and family. He is the perfect support for Diana.

Now, Diana may have a powerful vampire by her side but she eventually learns that she doesn’t need him to protect her. She has so much power on her own. Early on, she’s kidnapped by an evil witch and while Matthew does come to save her, Diana is the one who uses her powers to save herself. There were times when I wanted Matthew to come in and save the day (call me an old-fashioned romantic, alright!) but it’s better when Diana can discover the power within herself and save herself. Matthew may not like how Diana’s power can attract evil baddies, but he also knows she can protect herself. He won’t stop her from saving the day (and that she does in the end of Book of Life), but he’ll be there to support her when she needs it. He may not like that she can be put in danger, but he knows he can’t stop her either- no matter how hard he tries.

Finally, another thing I loved about this series is that Diana is a college professor. Matthew is a scientist. They’re after a lost book, not an Infinity stone or ring or anything like that. They first meet in a library. She’s got an actual career! He’s not just brooding in the shadows either. I’ve always loved learning - the best part of college was listening to lectures. I just loved talking and hearing about all this stuff I was learning. I wanted to know more. I would have loved to have become a professor and spend years researching history. I would have loved to have become a librarian even. I made too many wrong choices over the years out of fear for me to feel like that those paths are now closed (maybe not - I like to be optimistic).

Anyway, I just like the books and now the TV show. It sparked a Matthew Goode obsession that I may never get over! I’ve binged the series on SundanceNow, I don’t know how many times. I’ve re-read the books dozens of times. I may not be 100% happy, but I’m not quite in that dark, unhappy place I was last summer. I have to thank Deborah Harkness and the wonderful world she created for us. She’s inspired me to try my hand at writing again - another way to find a way out of the darkness.
