European Train Ride Week

[philstar22.livejournal.com]

Lets see if I can get it right this time.

Sorry this is so late. Ended up in the hospital this afternoon. This will be a low key week because I don't have it in me for a lot of activities at the moment.



Welcome to The Ebbsfleet International Railway Station located to the east of London. From here, you will be catching the Eurostar train to Paris. Make sure you have your Eurail train pass handy. This is the pass that will allow you to travel throughout europe. If you lose this, you may have to buy a new ticket or remain where you are while the rest of us go on.


Feel free to have a look around the station. The train will be here shortly. As soon as it arrives, you can find your seat and then wander around and get to know your fellow travelers.

Day 2: Welcome to Paris. Feel free to wander around and enjoy the sites.

Check out these attractions: Attractions

If you just want to find a hotel, here are recommendations: Hotels

Day 3: Welcome to Amsterdam. There are sites to see for everyone. Check out the canals. Eat in one of the many fine restaurants. Or if you are into more risqué fun, check out the Red Light District. Here.

We'll be heading for Berlin in the morning.

Day 5:
Today we've arrived in Venice. Venice is really a collection of small islands connected by canals. Venice is the perfect city for couples. If you want to stay around, you can catch the Venice Carnival that begins the end of January. For now, you can take a romantic or relaxing Gondola ride. You can take a tour of the city by boat. You can crash in one of the many luxury hotels. There are museums, amazing architecture, or opera houses. If nightlife is your thing, there are jazz clubs, coffee houses, and pubs to enjoy.

"I'm a paramedic, Derek," Ashley murmurs. "I've seen things that most people can't even imagine. Anything you want to tell me..." he leans back just enough to meet Derek's eyes. "Anything."

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Derek snorts and just lets it fall out. "Ever seen a werewolf?"

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Ashley looks confused for a moment, then barks out an almost nervous laugh. "Look, mate... if you don't want to tell me you don't have to deflect. You can just say so, I'll back off."

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Derek frowns. "I'm telling the truth, Ash." He sighs in resignation and cracks his neck, letting out his fangs and ears and red eyes.

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

"Shit!" Ashley flinches on instinct, almost jumping out of Derek's lap, eyes wide and heart racing. He just stares, for a minute, then slowly leans in closer. "Derek," he breathes, voice soft and shaking... "oh my god." He tilts his head, the look on his face slowly becoming less frightened and more fascinated.

He takes a long, slow breath, reaching up to trace his fingertips over Derek's face, running a thumb carefully over his lower lip, avoiding his fangs. Finally, he blinks and meets Derek's red eyes. "Wow."

Derek winces when Ashley flinches, thinking he's going to run off. He's surprised that Ashley is still their and smelling of curiosity, not fear. He keeps his breathing steady as he allows Ashley to explore. "Believe me now?"

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Ashley shifts to straddle Derek's lap, cradling his face in both hands. "Hard not to, faced with evidence like this." He arches one eyebrow, eyes twinkling.

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Derek rolls his eyes. "You can ask me questions. If you want."

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Ashley takes another deep breath, heart still racing. He brushes his thumb over Derek's cheekbone. "Can I kiss you?"

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

"Only if I put the fangs up. Can't bite you."

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

"Oh. Oh," Ashley breathes, because he gets it now. Moving carefully, with steady hands honed by years at his job, he runs a fingertip down one fang, avoiding the point. "Do it, then," he whispers, eyes locked on Derek's mouth.

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Derek is terrified for a moment that Ashley is asking him to bite him, but he quickly rejects that as just a silly moment of paranoia. He closes his eyes and lets himself change back.

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

"There... yeah. Good." Ashley runs his thumb over Derek's lips again, breathing against them. "Nothing against the wolf, but... I need to do this." He presses their lips together, kissing him deeply.

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

"Would be worried if it was because of the wolf," Derek teases before kissing Ashley back.

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Ashley rests his forehead against Derek's, breathing deeply again. "No. But I just... I still want to do this. Kiss you, shag you, whatever. And you should know that I still want to, and that even those fucking terrifying teeth aren't going to stop me."

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Derek chuckles. "And just so you know, there's so much more to it than just 'I'm a werewolf.'" He mentally adds, These are things you should know if you want to stick around.

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

"Do you want to tell me?" Ashley kisses him again, gently tugging at his lower lip.

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

"Want to tell you everything." Derek purrs.

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

"You can," Ashley murmurs back. "Now, or after you fuck me again." He nips a bit harder. "I get it, now... why you couldn't bite me. But why can't I do it to you?"

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

"Probably better for you hear to things a little at a time. Easier for you to digest." Derek grins. "I heal really fast. I didn't want to explain why you couldn't give me a hickey."

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Ashley grins wickedly. "Well, shit. In that case..." he bends to nudge Derek's head back, licking over the skin of his throat before finally biting down roughly. He moans at the feel of Derek's skin under his teeth, because he'd been waiting for this.

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Derek groans loudly. "Fuck. Ash."

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Ashley smirks. "Good?" He bites again, harder.

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

"So good." Derek moans and can't help his hips twitching up.

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

"Still wish I could feel your teeth on my skin... but this'll do," he grins, rocking down against Derek's lap.
