all that gold (i’m gonna set the whole city on fire tonight)
//
you wake up to clarke’s gentle fingers, stroking hair out of your face, and you know it’s early because it’s still dark outside. it’s not like her to wake before you, so you mumble something, mostly asleep, along the lines of, ‘what’s wrong?’
your eyes are open enough to see her the crease between her eyes, all her worry manifesting in a little movement, a little motion, that you’ve spent years learning, years loving, years trying to soothe.
‘please don’t get hurt today,’ she says, although it sounds much more like a command than a request.
you sigh. ‘clarke.’
‘i’m your wife, lexa.’
you can’t help the smile that blooms all the way from the suddenly too-big pounding of your heart.
‘stop smiling like that,’ she grumbles, and you laugh and roll over so that you’re balanced on top of her. you kiss her gently, once, and she kisses you back, although you think she’s internally rolling her eyes at herself.
Scot-Asians proudly displaying the new Muslim tartan at Glasgow City Chambers.
Scotland is about inclusion. That’s they key word from this point on.
That is a beautiful tartan! Here’s the theological explanation behind the design:
– Blue to represent the Scottish Flag – Green to represent the colour of Islam – Five white lines running through the pattern to represent the five pillars of Islam – Six gold lines to represent the six articles of faith – Black square to represent the Holy Kabah
