Summary - Ptolemy belongs to Bartimaeus. Bartimaeus/Ptolemy
Disclaimer - Bartimaeus, Ptolemy, and the Bartimaeus trilogy belong to Jonathan Stroud. The song Gravity of Love belongs to Enigma and Michael Crétu. I am making no profit on this fanfiction except the nice reviews I hope to receive.
Author's Note - Heylo, MoonlightDewz here and I have finally finished reading the Batimaeus Trilogy, so please beware of spoilers for the books in this story.
This fanfiction will most likely be a one-shot, but if I get enough reviews, and enough ideas in my head, I may try to continue the story, somehow.
Also, this story is a yaoi so if you don't like it, then you may not want to read any farther.
Alright, now let's get started.
around and smell what you don't see
Close your eyes ... it is so clear
Ptolemy was a good master and a good magician.
Even though, by definition, the only good magician was a dead one, Ptolemy was a good master.
He was noble, smart, and kind.
He had his faults, but his good endowments outweighed the bad.
He was a friend, a confidant, and a lover.
He was all these things, and because of that, he was owned as firmly as any demon, djinni, or spirit.
The master belonged to his servant, his slave, his Rekhyt.
Ptolemy belonged to Bartimaeus.
From the first time the djinni touched his master's skin, to the first kiss, and the first Egyptian night, Ptolemy belonged to Bartimaeus.
My master belonged to me.
I can still remember the first time I touched him. Just touched his dark tan skin and felt it under my fingertips.
It was strange for me, almost a new experience. None of the magicians that I had had before had let me come within a few feet of them, no matter how tightly they had me under their control, let alone touch them.
Ptolemy was different.
the mirror, behind there is a screen
On both ways you can get in
Don't think twice before you listen to your heart
Follow the trace for a new start
When he first summoned me, asking me questions about the Other Place, I had lied. I lied because I thought that he was trying to trick me somehow. I believed that the only reason for his curiosity was to find new ways to enslave and torture other spirits and myself. I didn't know that the Other Place fascinated him, so after I realized that he wasn't trying to use my own information against me, I began to tell the truth.
Ptolemy knew that I had begun to trust him, so he let me out of my pentacle and we talked. He'd ask questions; I'd answer, truthfully, to the best of my knowledge. His dark eyes would light up when I spoke and I would smile despite myself.
After all, it was nice to have someone hang on my every word. No human, and a large amount of spirits for that matter, had ever listened to what I said so closely, and as I watched him watching me I began wondering what it would be like to touch him. 1 (Completely innocent.)
What would it be like to run my fingers against his shoulder or side? What would it be like to hold him? What would it be like to feel my lips against his? 2 (Okay, maybe not so innocent but on a side note, most spirits would not think these things about humans, especially their masters. Sure, there may be an instance or two when a spirit will remark about a humans looks, but that about as far as it goes. Don't get any ideas.)
I wondered and that when I realized something.
I was attracted to my master.
I was attracted to a girly-looking, thin to the point of being scrawny, sorcerer-child.
A boy king.
A godling.
I hadn't even touched him in a friendly way yet. 3 (Okay I know how this looks but things were different in that time. People were married soon and had children early and often because they may not live to see their 20th birthday. Yes, Ptolemy was fourteen but, if he had been interested in the things he "should" have been, namely wives and the kingdom, he would have been married to a nice Egyptian girl and be expecting his first child. So stop looking at me like that.)
Of course, when I realized that I was attracted, both physically and emotionally, to Ptolemy, I nearly flung myself out the window. Spirits are not suppose to be attracted to humans, let alone their masters. 4 (See footnote 2) At first, I tried to convince myself that I was wrong, that my master had bad qualities that greatly outnumbered his good qualities, and that I shouldn't care about him. Some of these bad qualities included things such as his thin frame, or his black almost shoulder length girly hair, or his incessant need to know everything. However, try as I might I couldn't stop thinking of how beautiful he was, how kind his heart was, how, every time I was near him, I felt pleasantly warm and comfortable.
you need and everything you'll feel
Is just a question of the deal
In the eye of storm you'll see a lonely dove
The experience of survival is the key
To the gravity of love
So, it just so happened that a couple of days after I had been let to roam "free" outside of my pentacle, I decided I wanted to touch Ptolemy, just to see how he would react. For all I knew, even though he hadn't done anything to me in ways of punishment before, he could have banished me back to the pentacle and subject me to a number of magical tortures, just for having the courage to lay my hand on him.
The first time I touched him was at sunset, in his bedchambers and I had taken the form of a young man, older then Ptolemy, late teens with burgundy hair, tan skin, and yellow eyes. He had turned his back to me and, I'm not entirely sure what happened myself, but I must have reached out because my fingers were suddenly rested on Ptolemy's thin, bare shoulder. My touch was light and gentle, but he felt it and stopped. Then, he turned his head and looked at me with one of his slender, kol-lined, deep, dark eyes, and I froze up.
The way he looked at me, it was as if I had caught the attention of a very powerful marid who would like to swallow me whole. Ptolemy's eyes were so deep I felt that if I tripped or faltered I would drown. If I had any breath I would have held it in fear of upsetting the being that could crush me like a bug. I felt pinned, like a butterfly to a board and as I went to move my hand away so I could escape, my master spoke.
"What's wrong Rekhyt?" he asked, his voice soft and questioning, "Why do you look so amazed, have you never touched human flesh before?"
He didn't say it to sound smart. He wasn't being snide with his comment. He was really, truly asking me if I had never touched a human before, I could see it in his dark eyes.
I relaxed, my fingers gently running a little ways down his shoulder, feeling his warm, soft, tan skin. My eyes focused on my fingers and the curve of Ptolemy's shoulder. I spoke.
"Not so tenderly," I whispered, my fingers ever moving, feeling my master's life flowing inside of him, "Most of the contact I've had with humans is because I had an order to rip a hole in them."
Ptolemy sighed, and it wasn't a sigh of frustration or tiredness, but one of comfort, pleasure and as he turned his head to look out the window, I noticed that he did not pull away from me.
"I have asked so many questions of you, Rekhyt," he said, "Yet you must be curious about this world has well. Is there anything you would like to know?"
I nodded.
I had questions, so many questions, but I wasn't sure how to voice them to my master.
Why do I want to hold you in my arms right now and taste your throat with my lips?
Why is it that my desire for you has ensnared me?
Why am I in love with you?
"Why did you choose me?" I whispered, keeping myself from leaning down so I wouldn't do something I may regret.
"I chose you because you are spirited." My master said, "Your soul has not been broken by others and I felt that you would tell me what I wanted to know, not what I wanted to hear."
I nodded again, understanding his words. He wanted someone to tell him the truth, not what they thought would make him happy.
He continued, almost to low for me to hear, "I also…"
He didn't finish his sentence, his words trailing away as he sighed again, and this sigh was from exhaustion.
By now the sun had set and I pulled my hand away. I had many more questions, but they were ones I was going to have to work out for myself, and I could tell that Ptolemy was tired.
"I'll go keep watch." I said, and then turned toward the window. I saw Ptolemy nod out of the corner of my eye and as I began to move, I saw his hand come up and rest on his shoulder.
The one I had touched.
Changing into a lapwing, the bird flew through the window and perched on the roof, the moonlight reflected off its feathers. Had it been able to sigh, it would have.
I had a lot of thinking to do.
path of excess leads to
The tower of Wisdom
The path of excess leads to
The tower of Wisdom
The night I was going to leave for the army campaign, I sat with Ptolemy on the roof and he apologized to me for having to send me to the battlefield. I took the whole thing in stride, or at least I tried to. Out of all the other spirits my master commanded I was the strongest and the fastest, not to mention the most clever. 5 (Okay, maybe not but at least I was resourceful.) I would be the one to most likely survive, but that didn't make leaving any easier.
"Penrenutet will protect me while you are gone, have no fear." My master said to ease me, but I still worried.
For while I did believe that the other spirits could protect Ptolemy for the small amount of time I'd be gone, I feared what would happen to my master should I not return.
How long could the others protect him if I was dead?
Also, while Ptolemy would summon others in the case that I didn't come back, how could he be sure they wouldn't tear him limb from limb?
To many chances that something would happen, so many ifs. I didn't want to go.
"Now-see, they are lighting the watch fire on the tower." My master said, as I watched the moonlight shine against his form, it made his skin glow white, "The fleet is massing below. You must depart."
But I'd go for him.
"Alright then." I said, shifting my form from the loin that was on the roof to the young man with yellow eyes.
I was leaving, but I wanted to do one thing before I left, and I needed to resemble a human to do it. After all, I wasn't sure if I'd come back alive.
Ptolemy turned to look at me as I changed and stood, and holding out my hand, I helped him to his feet. My master's hands were thin and soft from writing and bookwork. He was no warrior with weapon calloused hands, or a farmer that had hands that were as tough as leather, just his small, warm, lithe hands with his gentle fingers.
How would he be safe without me to protect him?
I didn't let go of his hand.
I just looked at him, and his lithe frame and dark eyes and soft heart.
"Rekhyt?" He questioned me, and as I watched him watching me I threw caution to the wind and went with my plan.
I pulled him towards me and kissed him.
It was a soft kiss, quick and chaste, and sweet, but it was what I wanted. I pulled away slowly and backed away. I didn't look at him then, I was afraid that I might see something I didn't want to. I just turned on my heel and ran. I think I may have said goodbye as I ran to the edge of the roof, changing into a lapwing as I neared the edge, but I can't remember.
to think about it ...
That's the chance to live your life and discover
What it is, what's the gravity of love
When I returned, alive and victorious in my yellow-eyed disguise, I was almost fearful of what I would find. My bold actions on the roof had caused me to worry about my master's reaction. Ptolemy did not look angry when he had spoken to me with his orb nearing the end of the war, but it could have been a ruse. My master could have been hiding his discomfort from me so I wouldn't worry anymore then I had already, so I was still uncomfortable when I walked into his workroom.
The first thing I noticed when I saw him was that Ptolemy looked tired, as if he hadn't slept for a few nights. I sighed and shook my head. This was another reason I should have stayed; my master needed someone to keep an eye on him, just to make sure he wasn't working himself to death.
However, despite his weariness he still looked beautiful to me, and he greeted me with the same amount of enthusiasm as always and asked how my trip of the world had gone. My fears were erased as I told him about all the places I had seen and he told me about what he had been doing while I was gone, his dark eyes lighting up the same way as they had always done.
It was only when he started talking about the gateway and dismissing me that I stopped him.
He said that the gateway was a gesture, a redress.
I said that he didn't need to take so much on himself.
He said he wanted to.
He hoped to change the world.
I hoped he was right.
He went to speak the dismissal, and I stopped him.
"It's late," I said, putting my fingers on his shoulders, just enough of a presence that got his attention yet didn't restrain him in anyway, "If you will, please dismiss me tomorrow."
I didn't want to go. I didn't want to leave him unprotected, especially now that the other spirits were gone. I wanted to stay with him.
He almost protested, almost finished the dismissal, almost made me go, but his heart was kind. He couldn't force me away, not when I had asked him the way I had.
So he nodded and sighed.
I expected him to pull away, possibly just turn away from me, but he didn't, he stayed where he was and was silent for a moment, before he spoke again.
"I have a question for you, my friend," he said, a look on his face that I hadn't seen on him before. It was a look of question and confusion but also of sadness and perhaps some hope. Ptolemy was going to ask a question, and he was afraid of the answer. He didn't know if he wanted to hear what I said in reply to his question.
I had a feeling I knew what his question was, but I nodded anyway.
Quietly, his dark eyes searching my face, he asked,
"Why did you kiss me?"
Locking my eyes with his, I answered in all seriousness,
"Because I wanted to."
My answer seemed to please him because he smiled, his eyes lighting up again, and he reached for me.
My hands moved to gently tip and support his head and as his arms wrapped around my neck, I kissed him.
The last kiss we had shared had been quick, but this one was not. I went slowly at first, gently brushing my lips against his, tasting him, getting him use to the feeling. He sighed against my lips, and I used my free arm to hold his lithe, beautiful body against me. I could feel his chest rising and falling as he breathed and his heart beat steadily rose as he open his mouth for me and I slipped my tongue in.
I could feel his soft, small fingers curl into my hair, trying to keep me there as I shifted my hold and lifted him so we could move to the bed. We both knew how this night would end, because, now that we had stepped off the edge, we wouldn't be able to climb our way out alone.
Locked like this, we fell as one on to the bed, soon to be entangled in the silk sheets. He was on his back and I was on my side, pressed against him, and when I broke the kiss and he breathed I asked him,
"Would you like me in another form?"
I wanted to make him comfortable with me. If he wanted me to be something else, say female, I would be happy to oblige. I wanted him to be happy.
He shook his head, his arms still wrapped around my neck.
"I want you to chose your own form, don't change if you don't want to."
I smiled then, and Ptolemy asked,
"My friend, you are not in any pain are you? Would you like me to dismiss you?"
I had been away from the Other Place for quite sometime, but I shook my head. My essence did ache a bit, but Ptolemy made the pain sweet.
"Dismiss me tomorrow," I whispered seductively into his ear, "Let me make love to you tonight."
My master shuddered and breathed as I leaned over him and as I claimed his lips once more, I played with the laces of his clothing.
After some gentle tugging, the cloth gave way and after breaking away so Ptolemy could breath, 6 (It might have been mentioned before that I have no need to breathe, since I use magical means to keep my essence alive and to speak) I ran my fingers lightly against his warm bare shoulders, reminding me of the first time I touched him.
My master's arms had loosed from my neck and his thin, soft hands gripped the front of my shirt as I caressed him. I bent down and kissed his vulnerable throat, and he gasped faintly and pulled me down to him, our bodies connecting again.
I had never thought of hurting Ptolemy before. The idea of injuring him or worse had never crossed my mind, including the time that I had spent lying to him. But he had mentioned the fact that I could harm him before, and it made me realize how easy it would be to murder him right at that moment.
He was pinned under me, my teeth were at his throat, I could sense the way his life flowed under his skin. It would have been so easy to take his life, to keep him from moving as I ripped out his throat and spilled blood all across those pretty silk sheets.
The very thought of it sickened me, but there was something oddly alluring to the vulnerability of the situation.
The sun had set and Ptolemy's head was tipped up, exposing his throat, which was white, slender, fragile. I tasted him with my lips and tongue and as he mewed against me I realized how much trust he was putting in me. Sure it was no gateway; my master could possibly fight back if I gave him a slight chance, but the fact that he was willingly letting me get this close to him was proof of his trust.
I tried to keep my touch light as I dipped my kisses lower to his collarbone and his hands somehow found their way under my shirt. His fingers were warm and gentle against my stomach, and I vaguely wondered if the bedroom door was locked. If either of us started screaming, I don't think my master would be pleased with being interrupted by a nameless servant. 7 (Needless to say anything about my own feeling on that matter. Anyone feeling up to servant flambé?)
As the night wore on and I undressed him inch by painful inch, I memorized him. With teeth, lips, and tongue, my hands gliding over him, I vowed I'd never forget him. I would remember him the way he was, right at that moment, for as long as my essence remained.
When it was over, he lay softly upon the bed, and I whispered comforting words to him to dull the pain. He sighed in pleasure, his skin warm against mine and his soul sated. His dark eyes were soft and half-lidded, and as he smiled, content and beautiful, I fell in love with him all over again.
I kissed him tenderly once more before he fell asleep. I stayed with him all the next morning until he dismissed me, and this time, I went willingly. The last I saw of him was his serene face just before I was pulled away.
around just people, can you hear their voice
Find the one who'll guide you to the limits of your choice
The next time I saw him it was in the Other Place, which is rather strange in its self. I had heard him call my name, and I went to him, rather happily I might add. When I found him, he was trying to mold his soul into something to give himself a sense of self. His creation was very, artistic, and I couldn't help but laugh internally at it.
He hadn't noticed me at this point, to busy trying to form himself and take in the Other Place all at once. It was rather amusing to watch him, but when he started calling my name again, an almost worried look on his "face", I smiled and positioned most of myself "behind" him.
I'm here. I thought, parts of my essence coming to become intertwined with his soul, a gentle touch.
Where? He questioned, not yet noticing the way I curled around and inside of him.
All around you. I thought to him, I am you and you are me.
I felt his soul smile and I warped myself into a slightly more recognizable shape. 8 (At least, I made myself stand out from all the other "blobs" around me; I was still rather liquid like.)
He turned then, and his "face" proved my early feeling. He was smiling, and his dark eyes that he never seemed to lose, shone brightly.
It's so wonderful here. He thought, moving his "arms" to indicate the "landscape", I can understand now why you all like coming back here.
Yes, I nodded, It is very peaceful here.
Ptolemy looked around for a moment, and then thought again, So, there is no fighting?
There is no one to fight with, I thought, We are all one here.
Including me?
Including you.
He breathed, There are so many questions I want to ask, my friend.
We talked then, he asked and I answered, all the while my essence flowed around and caressed him, and when he had his answers, he asked me one more question.
B-Bartimaeus, he thought, What is happening to me?
What do you mean? I asked, as his soul slid against and mixed with my essence.
He sighed and relaxed as I came up to "hold" him, I feel so peaceful here, he thought to me, I don't know if I want to go back.
I shook my head, but held him tighter.
You cannot stay here to long, I thought, If you stay, you will not have a body to return to. 9 (Oh, if only I had known what would happen to him, I would have kept him with me.)
I know, he replied, But I enjoy feeling my soul merge with yours, I feel so close to you.
I smiled, and he felt my happiness.
We are truly one now, I whispered, But you must go back now, before its to late.
He nodded and sent me one finally thought.
I will summon you when I return to my body.
I shall be waiting. I replied.
Then, he was gone.
if you're in the eye of storm
Just think of the lonely dove
The experience of survival is the key
To the gravity of love.
After that, things just went down hill. My master had stayed in the Other Place far to long and he was unbearably weak. The other spirits and myself tried to do our best for him, but his body had begun to die while his soul was gone. A part of me wondered that, if he could separate his soul from his body one more time, he may have been able to saved his soul, if not his body.
However, he was much to weak, and then that final attack came.
I tried to protect him. I was willing to use up the rest of my essence if it meant that I could save him, but I was injured and I tried to barricade the both of us inside a nearby temple.
I made a mistake.
The temple had no other windows or doors, I was injured, and Ptolemy, my master, my friend, my lover, was dying on the cold marble floor, the blood I had never wanted to see staining the white.
This temple would not be a sanctuary. It would be a tomb.
I had sealed our fate, but I wasn't about to give up without a fight.
Then, Ptolemy began to talk about dismissing me so that I could live. When the attacking spirits broke in, they would kill anything that got in their way, including me. Ptolemy wanted to send me away.
I didn't take it well. I growled and argued, I fought against his wishes.
I said I didn't want to go.
He said it was the only way.
I refused.
He said I didn't have a choice.
I could never win an argument with Ptolemy and I knew it.
So, before the other spirits broke down the temple door, as the door swelled and became deformed with heat, Ptolemy raised his hand and I changed into my yellow-eyed human.
"Don't!" I said as I took his hand.
I had one chance, one moment before the end of my world, one moment before I lost Ptolemy forever.
I held his hand, my other arm wrapped around him, and as I looked into his dark eyes, the eyes that held a deep wisdom and were so kind, I said,
"But I love you, Ptolemy."
He smiled then, weakly but content, and as I felt his blood running down my arm I knew his life was draining away. I bent close then, holding him gently against me, and I heard him whisper,
"I love you to."
I kissed him one more time and then the doors burst open, I changed and turned as a loin, Ptolemy spoke the dismissal, and I was ripped away from him.
When I appeared in the Other Place I tried everything I could think of to get back to my master. 10 (As a footnote, this is the only time I tried to do so, usually I had to be forced to leave the Other Place.) I pushed and pulled, I raged against the magic that kept me bound, and finally, when I could not escape, when I could not break free, I screamed. I screamed until my essence grew sore and the Other Place screamed with me. The world around me shook and trembled, and it was hopeless.
I couldn't get free.
I couldn't get back to Ptolemy.
He had been murdered, and I couldn't save him.
In the end, I believe that it was our love that killed him. Ptolemy's cousin possibly new how much I cared for my master, how I would murder thousands if it would keep him safe, and that sparked an un rational fear into the man. In his paranoia he thought that Ptolemy would overthrow him and rule with me as his guardian.
Ptolemy loved me so much; he was willing to save me from death if he could, even if that meant giving up his own life.
The spirits, the gateway, his cousin, they didn't kill Ptolemy.
I did.
That's why I wear his form, why I look the way he did before the gateway, I'm reminding myself of how much I loved him, and how that love killed him.
I will never forget and I will never make the same mistake twice.
My master belonged to me, and I lost him.

I talked about my dreams a little bit in this post recently. On Monday, my favorite blogger, Miss Mustard Seed, posted encouraging us to share our dreams– the ones we just needed to say out loud. I posted this:
The hubs and I have talked about this in the past, and also recently. I would love to have a booth some day to have a place to sell refurbished furniture, my favorite DIY projects, and even some photography. But we thought this would need to wait until I was done with school, because it would be a risk with money that we don't have a lot to spare right now, and would require more time than I have to give.
I filled him in on my "there. I said it post" and Thursday he told me he talked to the owner our fave antique store in Gtown, Divine Patina about what I want to do! We bought our gorgeous china hutch and kitchen table from them this year. She said we had a good eye and that we bought some of their best pieces this year! He even old her about my blog! :) I went in and talked to her today and she said she would be willing to sell some pieces on consignment!
I am so excited to get started! This gives me the flexibility to not have to do it so often to keep a booth stocked, and also means less financial risk! So I was up EARLY this morning to garage sale for furniture! Yay! Then I went to Austin to Mockingbird Domestics (OMG amazing store) to buy Annie Sloan Chalk Paint! I have wanted to work with this product for a while and am enthralled with the matte finish, the ease of distressing, and no need to sand or prime. Holla.
So, here we go! I'll be posting pieces and will let y'all know if they are for sale at Divine Patina or through me!

Fuel for Thought
My eight-year-old daughter, Meghan, has – unfortunately – inherited my lack of physical endurance. When I was on the high school dance team, we would occasionally do aerobics (complete with leg warmers and scrunchies…aaah, the 80s!). Our instructor would inevitably scream as I'm panting and sweating and about to pass out, "JENNIFER LIANE, PICK YOUR FEET UP!" You get the picture. I blame it on my own inherited low blood pressure, but really, I'm just out of shape.
So last week, Meghan went on a bike ride with her friend, Alyssa, and Alyssa's family. Thirty minutes later, Meghan knocked on our door, looking like the wilted, drooping plant in my kitchen (um, yeah – it does need water), and stumbled inside. Though I initially thought that she was just reacting from a low endurance level, I later found out that she had eaten only a half-bowl of cereal that morning and hadn't had anything to eat since then, but she still attempted the miles of bike riding with her friend. After she ate a snack and rested for a few minutes, she perked up and was ready to go back outside and play.
Don't we do the same thing? Just like a car cannot run without gasoline, I cannot run without "fuel": those things which fill my soul, body, and spirit and equip me to keep going in the way and the manner in which God wants me to go. Just as Meghan cannot ride her bike for a long distance on a half-bowl of cereal, I cannot accomplish everything on my to-do list without my own nourishment, without taking care of myself and my own needs. I try to take care of everyone and do everything on as little fuel as possible – literally and figuratively. I run and run and run, and then I wonder why I'm so irritable and tired and frustrated.
I thought about the kinds of food I like – and need. Sometimes, nothing satisfies me like an original size Strawberries Wild Jamba Juice with Protein Boost. Yum! Other times, I just need a large bowl of Blue Bell, preferably Chocolate Brownie Overload (I reserve that for those beautiful moments right after all my kids are in bed). I love red grapes, turkey tenderloin medallions, Oreos, Chicken Mirabella, spinach salad, Honey Bunches of Oats with blueberries on top, peanut M&Ms…anybody hungry?
We need different kinds of food just like we need different kinds of "fuel." I need time of quiet meditation on God's word. I need to worship. I need to get my toenails painted and my feet massaged. I need a dinner out with my girlfriends. I need fun, silly time with my family. I need to eat breakfast. I need to sit and watch TV or read a book by myself. I need to sleep.
We all have different needs, and at different times we need different kinds of fuel to keep us healthy and happy and grounded. We need to know ourselves in order to know our needs, and then we need to obey those needs and fill them. How do we do that? Guess what – the God who lovingly designed you, created you and intimately knows every cell in your body and your spirit knows exactly what you need. So ask Him! Ask Him what kind of fuel you need at a particular moment to be everything He has designed and desires you to be. Then DO IT. Call a girlfriend. Make an appointment for a pedicure. Open your Bible. Plan a family movie night on your couch. Take a nap.
I know in our crazy lives as moms, that is not always easy or possible. But if we don't allow ourselves the freedom to fill our own needs, we're going to end up looking like that poor, pathetic plant in my kitchen. Fill 'er up!

Working agency or client-side?
There are a vast number of roles within the agency & in-house sectors, and the continual evolution of online and digital marketing is pushing the boundaries even further. You could choose to embark upon a career in an agency, from PR & Social, Digital and Brand through to a fully-integrated one. Or, you could choose to take your career along the client-side path, which could see you handle the marketing output for an organisation, from an online retailer or a charity through to an innovative tech-based company, or a high-profile professional services firm. Over 90% of companies are now looking at how to improve their online presence so new and exciting opportunities will start to appear.
For those that are about to graduate we'd suggest taking some time to research the different type of agencies that exist, and where they are, particularly if you have your mind & heart set on working in such an environment. Don't be fixated on London because there are an incredible number of agencies cropping up all over cities such as Manchester & Birmingham. Agencies tend to recruit a selective few at a junior level so it may be best to apply directly to them with a cool & innovative CV – a lot of roles may not be advertised. For those of you seeking a client-side role, try not be drawn in by all the cool brands, because there are just as many great SMEs that don't get a high volume of CVs, but can offer just as good as career as a blue chip one. Your career trajectory will be quicker and you will have more responsibility which can only add value to your development. Most of all, be open minded about both sides and never be too quick to judge until you been in & met the people & experienced the culture.
These are the principle roles available to you:
Account Executive / Account Manager
This position would suit someone looking for a diverse and challenging role within a creative and innovative environment, and, typically, prospective employers in this environment may be more interested in looking at your personal qualities, such as how creative and innovative you are, rather that your formal qualifications.
Starting your career within an agency is incredibly positive as you are exposed to all the elements of agency life and are given the opportunity to work with a broad range of brands. If you can't get into one of the bigger and more established agencies, it is sometimes more beneficial to start your career with a small or medium-sized outfit, as you will most likely get more responsibility which will strengthen your overall skills and knowledge.
Generally, in an agency, the Account Executive will act as the primary link between the different agency teams, and will generally work on a mix of accounts. On a daily basis, you will oversee campaigns, keep an eye on costs, and timescales, and, once approved, will work with colleagues to oversee it to fruition. You'll be reporting to the Account Manager, who then typically reports to an Account Director; the Account Manager will also be working closely with the Account Directors and other colleagues on a number of projects, while simultaneously presenting campaign ideas and budgets to clients.
Social Media Manager
Social Media Managers can be based client-side or in agencies where they will be given the opportunity to work with multiple brands; the role involves implementing effective social media strategies, developing brand awareness, generating web traffic, and cultivating leads. This role has significantly evolved and can now involve aspects of digital project management, content generation and distribution, influencer profiling and management, social/display ads, SEO, proposal writing and client management.
You'll take ownership for all social media marketing campaigns, which could involve producing relevant and SEO-rich web content, updating and maintaining social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google+, Tumblr, and Pinterest, and generating industry-specific blogs, while also developing and expanding their own and their clients' online community through positive engagement and monitoring social media trends.
It is now important for a Social Media Manager to have wider digital expertise, display an in-depth understanding of various social media platforms, and have solid writing experience and deep knowledge of SEO principles.
Copywriters usually work with one Art Director as a team, in order to generate original ideas and concepts for advertising campaigns. This pairing is very simple – the Copywriter provides the words and the Art Director provides the pictures. Bear in mind that a headline can make or break a campaign so the pressure is on where big budgets are involved.
Working together means that concepts can arise in two ways – sometimes driven by the words with the visual following, and sometimes the other way around! The words a Copywriter produces can impact an entire campaign, as they'll be producing punchy slogans, message headlines, and straplines for a range of material, including posters and leaflets. Of course, Copywriters are also tasked with creating long and engaging copy for press, brochures, and TV scripts.
In this sector, it's important for creatives to keep up-to-date with popular culture and trends; they should be constantly brimming with ideas, as they'll be working on several campaigns simultaneously and under pressure to meet deadlines.
The positions of Art Director and Copywriter are truly fascinating career paths to take, and if you are starting out, it's important to try and gain agency-based work experience. This will build up a strong portfolio, covering different online and offline media, which will enhance your employment chances and add depth to your CV.
Designers provide the visual means to communicate a message, and do this through selecting and producing the correct images and typography. The work of a Designer is demanding and requires constant creativity, an incredible eye for detail, the determination to keep up-to-date with technical trends, and the ability to work well in a team and with a selection of departments.
A Designer will usually work closely with account handlers and creative teams to bring their clients' briefs to life! Using their creative senses, the Designer is able to develop innovative concepts and design solutions for print and web, and produce pieces for various kinds of media, including advertisements, websites, magazines, posters, brochures, leaflets, and now stretches to apps and mobile.
The job landscape in the design profession has changed beyond recognition over the past few years. In today's evolving market, Designers need to be able to switch their creative intuition from a corporate brochure to a multi-layered website, and will also be expected to learn new software packages. It makes for a very interesting career choice, but be prepared for a lot of hard work and the challenges your creative mind will face!
Digital Account Manager
A Digital Account Manager is the key link between the agency and the client, ensuring that digital briefs are interpreted diligently, and delivered on time and within budget. In essence, you are the front line for client contact and you will lead the creative and sometimes technical development of projects, which could include e-commerce and promotional websites, email marketing, banner adverts, mobile apps, motion graphics, and social media platforms.
The Digital Account Manager will lead projects and coordinate the efforts of the creative team, planners/buyers, and the technical and development team. They will also be tasked with identifying opportunities to increase revenue with both new and existing clients, and keeping up-to-date with new technologies.
This function may vary from that of a Digital Project Manager, a role which will see you manage schedules and plans, and, in the vast majority of cases, hold your clients' hands through the more technical and development stages of a project. Their expertise will lie in their ability to translate technical issues into plain terms so that their client has a clear vision of what is happening through all stages of the design and build. A Digital Project Manger will normally have sound planning and organisational ability, and a good understanding of web architecture, user experience, content, SEO, and analytics. A Prince 2 qualification is also associated with a Digital Project Manager's skills set.
The majority of Digital Account Managers or Project Managers will have a business, computer science or IT-related degree, and a genuine interest in and passion for new technologies.
Marketing Executive
Marketing Executives work client-side, not for an agency. The role of a Marketing Executive is incredibly broad as they can work on planning, advertising, promotion, PR and media relations, digital, product development, distribution, sponsorship, and research. The role is often challenging, varied, and exciting.
Marketing Executives may also be known as Marketing Assistants or Marketing Coordinators. These roles will frequently involve working with suppliers, external agencies, colleagues in other departments, and marketing colleagues such as Product Managers.
On a regular basis, the Marketing Executive will be responsible for placing adverts, writing and distributing press releases, preparing photoshoots, writing and proofreading marketing materials, and carrying out market research and customer surveys to assess demands, brand positioning, and awareness. The Marketing Executive will also be tasked with maintaining mailing databases, handling events and exhibitions, and liaising with internal creative departments and external agencies.
In today's world of commerce, successful marketers need an ever-increasing skill set and you will need to be numerate and analytical as well as innovative, intuitive, quick thinking, and able to grasp new technologies and ideologies quickly. You will also need to be confident, persuasive, and able to get the best out of those around you.
PR Account Executive
Many get into PR by interning while at university. Most PR agencies and communication departments offer internship opportunities, where you'll learn how to make contacts in the business and build up a portfolio. To get in, you'll need a good general education and the proven ability to communicate well, both in writing and speech. An English or related degree will help, as will a PR-based one, training in marketing and/or communications, or a writing-based role. With the explosion of online media over the past few years, PR is more important than ever, and companies are hiring more agencies and PR Executives to manage internet relationships.
PR Account Executives work for agencies, either independent or fully-integrated ones. They strive to establish goodwill and understanding for their clients, and monitor the publicity that is generated on their behalf. They will liaise on a daily basis with the client to update and report on the success of the publicity. Without question, you must have excellent skills in writing, organising, public speaking, and must be able to source all manner of specialists. They may be asked to ghost-write a newsletter, organise a press launch, write a 1000-word trade article, produce a snappy blog, lobby some MPs, or organise a fundraising event. They need to be intelligent, thoughtful, resilient, and versatile.
PR agencies often specialise in areas such as business-to-consumer PR or business-to-business PR, and often in particular sectors, such as financial, fashion, leisure, retail, or healthcare PR. The work of a PR Account Executive is likely to vary from day to day, depending on the area of expertise and the industry sector in which they specialise. The pace of the work and the depth of detail needed may vary depending on the type of media being targeted and the deadlines it demands.
Press Officer
If you go into PR, you'll either work at an agency or within a larger company's communications department. At an agency, you'll serve multiple clients; at a large company, you'll serve that company, or, more likely, a division or area within it.
Within corporate PR departments, you'll probably work more independently than you would at an agency. On the corporate side, you'll hear about departments such as investor relations, public affairs, crisis management, and so forth. The work in these departments can be similar, but the focus is on reaching a particular target, relating to investors, the public, stakeholders, and so on.
A Press Officer is the media contact for their employer. Typical activities can include: planning coping strategies in case of various catastrophes, and educating senior staff on how to manage potential problems; training senior staff how to cope with the media if professional help is not to hand; planning and implementing an annual round of press-related activities to raise awareness of the company; writing press releases and news articles; monitoring and liaising with the media, and arranging press conferences, news briefings, media interviews, press visits, and public events; and attending committee meetings and debates, keeping up to date with current issues and public opinions.
A Press Officer may also accompany senior staff on high-profile meetings, visits, or conferences. It can be an interesting career choice, particularly if you work for a commercial or not-for-profit business that is of personal interest to you. Some of our candidates, after a certain period of working in-house, switch to an agency environment to broaden their experiences and widen their knowledge of other industry sectors.
The way marketing has evolved over the past decade has meant that seemingly endless career opportunities have arisen in the creative sector, from content specialist to Digital PR Manager.
It's a fascinating sector, and we wish you luck with whichever career path you decide to take!

My Interview Experience at GitLab
Jan 22, 2018
I'd like to share my experience interviewing at GitLab, where I had applied for the role of Senior CI/CD Developer near the end of 2017 1. I went through a questionnaire, a take-home project and six interviews over the course of three months. Unfortunately, they didn't move forward with an offer in the end.
I did not have to sign an NDA, but I am still not going to go too much into the details of the process so as to not spoil it.
It is important to note that GitLab is very transparent about compensation and processes and they make most information available in several places, such as:
- A YouTube channel where they record some of their meetings and postmortems.
- A comprehensive employee handbook.
- A compensation calculator for software developer roles.
- A general overview of the interview process.
Having said that, let's get started.
First Contact
As with any other company, the first step involved dusting off my resume, firing up pandoc, my favorite LaTeX toolchain, and producing a nice and clean PDF that I could upload to their applicant tracking system. I applied for the "Senior Developer, CI/CD" role on October 9th.
By October 10th, I was told by an HR representative that I was accepted and was sent a questionnaire with three Ruby questions, three Go questions and five general questions, due within ten days. The questions were easy and involved a modest amount of coding. I sent my answers back on October 15th, after working on it over the weekend.
Note that this phase happened at a time when the company was gathering in Crete for their "GitLab Summit" event, which was happening between October 19th and the 25th. I got a couple of emails from two different HR representatives reminding me about that.
One Step Forward
On October 27th I got an email from the CI/CD team lead with a couple of questions covering aspects of the questionnaire. I sent back my answers on October 28th. I didn't hear anything back until November 1st, when an HR representative told me that I was invited for a screening call, which I scheduled for November 7th. The screening call was held by an HR representative which would later become my main point of contact during the interview process.
After the screening call I was invited to schedule another call with the CI/CD team lead, which happened on November 14th. Unfortunately, he arrived late to the call, but I had the chance to chat with another senior developer. Even though we only chatted lightly about technical topics I was deeply and positively impressed by their attitude, friendliness, and skill set. At the end of the call we scheduled for another call to happen on Friday 17th.
On Thursday night (November 16th) I was told by my HR contact that we would need to reschedule the call since a someone from the US wanted to join the call. I was told to book a free slot overlapping on both team member's calendars. Being unable to find one, I told my HR contact so and she found me a slot on November 30th2.
I was headed towards my first technical interview.
Getting Real
On November 30th I had a two hours call with both the CI/CD team lead and another high-ranking employee. I was offered the choice between three topics, after which we would have a brainstorming session which would be followed by an assignment that I would have to do on my own.
The call went pretty smoothly and, again, I was impressed by the friendliness and in-depth knowledge of both interviewers. It was a really pleasant experience.
After the call, I duly worked on the assignment and, on December 1st, opened a merge request that implemented a very basic MVP for the interview topic that I chose. This spurred a fair amount of activity on the merge request itself and the issue ticket it was linked to, since there seemed to be some interest from the community in having such feature.
I didn't hear anything back until December 14th, were I was told that GitLab would like to move forward with an intermediate-level role, instead of senior. I told them that it was OK by me.
Climbing The Mountain
At this point I was invited to have non-technical calls with many team members moving upwards in the org chart. I scheduled the first two to happen on December 18th and December 20th. On December 27th, I was asked to provide some references. My last call was scheduled for December 29th.
These calls weren't technical and mostly involved questions about my resume.
After the last call I finally had a chance to relax, at least until new year's. I told myself that the next call, if any, would be with the CEO at this point, as per their hiring practices.
Ten Steps Back
And here comes the end of our journey. On January 2nd I was told by my HR contact that GitLab wouldn't move forward with the application. I was bummed.
When I asked for feedback about my interview I was told that I had strong consultancy and entrepreneurship experience, and that I was weaker in working at a mid-size product company.
The feedback was totally fair. I co-founded a startup, and my only other work experience is at a consulting shop. My past work experiences, however, were clearly stated in my resume.
What I found especially frustrating was the fact that I was rejected only at the end of the interview process, whereas I could have been rejected at the very beginning. Due to their background requirements I had no chance to join the company from the start.
In the end it all felt like a huge waste of time, both mine and of all the people involved in the interviews. I seriously hope that the same doesn't happen to other candidates.
I really enjoyed chatting with everyone I was interviewing with. Everyone there is clearly motivated, very capable, and friendly. I strongly believe that GitLab is trying to build something different that will improve the life of developers for the better, and wish them all the best.
As a candidate, I'll humbly suggest a couple of improvements:
- Keep everyone in the interview process on the same page about candidate's expectations and required background. This would prevent a situation like mine. I was essentially rejected from the very beginning but no one, except the last interviewer, really knew that. Reject me sooner, don't waste my time. Or yours.
- Designate a single point of contact between the candidate and HR and let all communications with the company go through that person. I was contacted by no less than four different HR representatives. At many points a new person would come up from nowhere and send me an email, without introduction. Other times I wouldn't hear back for days with no clear indication of where I was headed to. It was confusing.

A judge ruled Thursday that Devonte Dixon, 17, and his 15-year-old brother, suspected of firing shots at an unmarked police car on Wednesday, will remain in juvenile detention. Their two older brothers were charged with principal to aggravated battery and have been released from jail.
OCALA — The younger two of four brothers arrested Wednesday in connection to shots fired at a vehicle occupied by an Ocala Police Department lieutenant faced a judge early Thursday.
Devonte Dixon, 17, and his 15-year-old brother made their first appearance in juvenile court. Dressed in yellow jumpsuits, the teens stood one at a time beside their parents at a podium as Judge Sue Robbins read their charges, which are aggravated assault with a firearm, discharging a firearm in public and possession of a firearm by a juvenile.
The teens are suspected of firing shots on Wednesday at the unmarked patrol car occupied by OPD watch commander Lt. Sandra Duryea. Police believe they mistook Duryea's vehicle for the one used by a drive-by shooter who fired upon their home earlier in the day.
The judge told each teen that she found probable cause for their arrest and ordered them detained in the juvenile facility at the Marion County Jail until their next court hearings, which are scheduled for later this month. The brothers cannot have any contact with each other while they are incarcerated, Robbins added.
Outside the courtroom, a frustrated Teddy Williams Sr., the father of the boys, said this was the second time within months that the home, in the 1900 block of Northwest Seventh Street, has been fired on, with no arrest being made.
He said he believes the Ocala Police Department is not doing anything to solve the cases and said it seems that it will take someone dying before they will do something.
Williams said the first time shots were fired at the home, a woman was injured when a bullet grazed her. He said the same spot where the woman was when the shots were fired the first time is the same spot into which shots were fired the second time.
After he left the courtroom, Williams met with police officials at their headquarters.
After that meeting, police officials said they are working with the family to solve the two cases.
The second shooting was shortly after 4 a.m. Wednesday. Afterward, the young teens, along with their brothers DeAngelo Williams, 21, and Teddy Williams, 19, began to drive around looking for the vehicle and person or persons who shot at their home.
Duryea was doing a security check in an unmarked vehicle at the Parkside Gardens Apartments complex at 621 NW Second St. when she saw what she considered a suspicious vehicle driving in the area. As she was watching the vehicle, two males got out and fired several shots at her car.
Duryea, who did not return fire, backed out. She later returned to the area. She found guns inside the vehicle she had been watching, which had been abandoned.
As she was there, DeAngelo Williams approached and said it was his car but he did not have anything to do with the shooting. He was detained.
Officers later determined that all four brothers had been in the car, and that they lived at the residence that was shot up. All four were arrested.
DeAngelo Williams and Teddy Williams each face a charge of principal to aggravated battery. They have both been released from the jail in lieu of $2,000 bail each.

DB Yusuf Corker of Stockbridge, GA has a small list of schools he's talking with and USC is one of them. Corker said defensive coordinator and secondary coach Travaris Robinson is in touch regularly and the two have discussed when Corker will come in for a game.
"Right now he said he just really needs depth in the secondary area and he said if I come in and put in the work, he thinks I could be an early starter," said Corker who recorded his 15th career interception last week.
Corker said he's also talking with Tennessee and Michigan State and he will take an official visit to Michigan State for the Michigan game October 29th. He said he likely won't spend an official visit with USC and Tennessee because he wants to save them for places too far to drive. He's also looking at Stanford and Penn State for other official visits.
A coach from Michigan State has been to evaluate Corker this season. He said he's not sure when Robinson will be in.
Corker will announce his decision on his birthday December 26th. He said there is no favorite.

Release: Immediate
Carmel firefighters helping with Indiana Task Force 1 in Houston
CARMEL, IN – A pair of Carmel firefighters have been deployed to Texas as part of the task force assisting in rescue efforts in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. They left for Houston with Indiana Task Force 1 earlier this week.
After a few days of waiting for assignment, the 14-person Task Force group of water rescue firefighters are making their way to Beaumont, Texas today on a mission to help in any way they can, including water rescue and humanitarian work – going door-to-door to check on residents who chose to remain in their homes but may have now run out of water, food or have lost power.
Another group, the hazardous materials support group, has already been busy providing supplies and testing equipment to keep rescue personnel clean of the "soup kitchen of contaminants" in the waters.
"We are engaged on many fronts," said Mike Pruitt, spokesman for the Task Force. "This has been a big undertaking but everybody is healthy and everybody is doing good."
Pruitt is providing daily reports that are linked to the Task Force Facebook page for anyone to view. You can follow along here: https://www.facebook.com/IndianaUSARTaskForce1/

Inspired by the song series "Daughter of Evil", "Servant of Evil", and "Message of Regret". I don't own Vocaloids, nor do I own the characters involved in this.
Oh, and I took a few liberties with the song... might not fit exactly. I dunno if this will be a oneshot or not, depends if people want me to write the followup.
"M-my clothes. Wear em."
Rin looked from the bundles up to Len's aqua eyes. His hands were shaking, eyes rapidly filling with tears despite trying not to cry. He was holding the clothes out in trembling arms, blond hair lossened from it's ponytail.
"It's okay... W-we're twins, they won't notice." he mumbled, thrusting the clothes towards his princess. She nodded shakily and accepted them, quickly changing.
A few minutes later, Len shivered. He was wearing his princess' clothes, a yellow dress tied with orange ribbon. He'd had the foresight to shove some tissues down the front to give himself a bigger chest, and so far they hadn't noticed. He shuffled his wrists slightly, trying not to cry out from the pain. They were bound painfully, painfully tight.
In the crowd, it was the once-Princess Rin's turn to try not to sob. She was wearing her servant's clothes (Len's clothes, always Len, not the servant), his cape pulled tight to her body and her hair tied up just like his had been. She scrubbed the tears away, remembering all the times he had served her treats and snacks. It had been brioche yesterday, right? Rin turned her head up to watch, and for a moment, she could have sworn their eyes met.
Rough hands grabbed Len's hair and shoulders, forcing him to kneel. His throat bashed against the rough wood of the guillotine, and his eyes searched madly for his sister. His princess. He found her, trying to swallow sobs. Len glanced upwards, watching the hypnotising effect of the sun glinting off the blade. So much he hadn't done, so much he hadn't seen. So many of his sister's smiles he wouldn't be around to cause.
"For crimes again our kingdom, the... the citizens condemn Princess Rin Kagamine to death. Her body shall be buried in an unmarked grave. She will not be mourned." intoned a red-clad figure standign mere inches away. From this angle, it was hard to see much of her face, but from the voice he realised she was Meiko. The former princess of the red land, Rin had had all the inhabitants of every village either enslaved or slain.
Kaito stood nearby, holding a piece of paper in shaking hands. He crouched by Len's face, and he sucked in a breath - maybe this close, the blue prince would recognise his lover's killer? There was a flicker of recognition and hatred (such hatred he had never seen). In that instant, he realised.
Kaito and Meiko already knew.
"We know about the swap," the prince murmured, a smirk crossing his face. "We figure, eliminate Rin's brother and the wayward princess will behave, yeah? Sort of like having Miku killed made me bitter." A nod from Meiko, and Kaito drew a small, sharp knife, slashing it across the rope holding up the blade.
There was a swish and a thunk, and then Len Kagamine knew no more.

Darjeeling, April 26: The Gorkha Janmukti Morcha is pitching the coming hill municipal elections as a "Gorkhaland versus Bengal" battle.
The Morcha has already sent to print posters which read: "Gorkhaland versus Bengal".
A senior Morcha leader said: "This is a crucial election. Opposition parties might have many things to say but the fact is that if they, especially the Trinamul Congress, win the election, we believe a wrong message might be conveyed to the Centre. That is why we want to put it before the public that even this election, which is at the local level, is a Gorkhaland versus Bengal battle."
Gorkhaland has always been the Morcha's theme in previous elections but never before had the party pitched a direct battle on the lines it has thought for the coming polls.
One of the posters the Morcha has sent to print roughly translates: "Gorkhaland versus Bengal, to uproot Bengal's hegemony and to secure our future, let us all vote for the GJM candidate."
The poster is written in Nepali.
The Morcha leader said: "Our point will be that every vote for Trinamul will be for Bengal."
Morcha sources said its all 32 candidates in Darjeeling were today asked to be dressed in traditional attire for a photo shoot that could be used in the campaign posters.
The "Gorkhaland versus Bengal" slogan might sound attractive in the three hill municipalities of Darjeeling, Kurseong and Kalimpong.
In Mirik, Trinamul has an advantage because of Mamata Banerjee's announcement of a survey to grant land rights to its residents.
