"Do you not think I feel badly enough that we cannot be wed?" Hal would've liked to be playful in the face of the smack to his noggin but his heart was aching—Freckled cheeks flushed as the King from another kingdom combated the shame of disappointing her—even under the stupid smirk that came, boyish, and involuntarily, of being called brave by the apple of his eye.

"As you said, my bravery is... evident... I did this only to prove my undying LOVE for you, Michelle... For reckless deeds or none, I shall die, one day, but I will carry this fire for you even into the underworld..."

Open to Any gender: best friends, significant other, Like a sister/brother.

Michelle hit the other in the back of their head, scoffing. "You are completely daft, you know that? Why in the bloody hell would you go back there? To what? Prove yourself to me? I know you are already brave. You didn't have to risk your own life to prove that."

The Queen yelled at the other, obviously out of concern for their own well being. She didn't know what she would've done if she heard they died because of some reckless need of bravery.

"... You mean I play piano almost as beautifully as Tumnus plays the pipe, don't you? Or are you to tell me that the fuzzy Scarecrow to your Dorothy has now taken up the keys in his free time?"

Teddy cracked his knuckles, casting a short distanced glance in the golden haired girl's direction. He'd always been a bit jealous of her brothers and sister (not to mention her other companions—Yes, even the animalistic ones) simply on the basis of how much time they got to spend with her.

@ricketyhearts (for Laurie)

Lucy sinks down on the stool beside him, her eyes watching and reveling in the way his fingers slip across the keys with such assured certainty. "Will you--- will you teach me? You play almost as beautifully as Mr. Tumnus." Hopefully sans the betwitching spell.

A smile he had believed to have outgrown, plastered itself across Theodore’s face unexpectedly and the young man found–surprisingly–that it still fit.

Laurie listened intently to Jo’s plight, grumbling slightly as he tried to keep his disagreements (he hated how she saw herself, blamed herself) to himself. We’d quarrel, were the words she’d used on him, then, on that day he liked to pretend didn’t happen and yet everything he’d done or said or thought since was at least in part a direct descendant of that day. But that didn’t deter him… No. He was prepared to live in that day’s shadow for the rest of his life—so long as it meant continuous chances to make up for it.

“…”

He was about to say he should’ve taken the food to the Hummels, or that they could’ve gone to the Hummels’ together, but then he wouldn’t have been any better than Jo as far as self-blame goes. Not only that, but Jo had actually been there and… Well, technically, yes, she could’ve gone in Beth’s place. Unlike Laurie, who had been away at the time.

“Find her? Amy’s not with Marmee then?” Laurie had been out of the loop, having lost a good many of his more common senses when stumbling across Jo had knocked some of them back inside him. He was, needless to say, unaware of the extensive tension between Amy brought about by Aunt March’s choosing her as her new companion over Jo. Still, he did know of her burning Jo’s works, and however long ago it had occurred, he might’ve been of the same unforgiving mindset if he hadn’t been present to pull the youngest March sister out of the ice.

His heart leapt with Jo’s refusing to let go of his hand and tonight he’d make no further attempts to distance himself from her.

“… Alright.” A kiss to her forehead was the only thing Laurie pressed, recognising a different sort of Jo in her apathy. With her O-K, he lead her gently by their two hands that were already clasped together. Between clinging to each other at varying intensities as well as the back and forth, the pair didn’t make it very far in the rain. Eyebrows shot upwards, hearing he was not the problem.

“O-Of course not… We’re going, we’re going!” He picked up the pace of his trudging, only to stop once more when he heard the term ‘masculine privilege’. Once look at her face, though, told him she wasn’t trying to start another bicker-match.

“Well, it is of my ‘masculine opinion’,” Laurie puffed, briefly putting on a voice like that of his old tutor’s combined with his grandfather’s, “they suit you…” He stifled a laugh with a shake of his sopping head, and continued to move towards the cab, fondly recalling his induction into the March sisters’ club.

Young Master Laurence paid the driver with dew-covered coins from his pockets then turned back to Jo, offering a hand up into the cab. Neither currently carried an umbrella, nor did the modest hansom provide much cover from the weather, so he couldn't help but fuss over Jo—Sloshing water from her brow, bringing his coat closer around her, followed fast by his own arms.

"You say you don't want to sleep, but you should try to rest... It's not as though we can talk private affairs yet anyhow," he said, his voice a boyish strain against the cold and emotion.

The middle March daughter felt so incredibly cold and numb. She did not know if it was from the weather, lack of nutrients, or the grief. It probably came from a mix of all. “I trust you with them more than anyone else in this world,” she assured him, leaning forward to shield herself from the cold and loss. “And if I knew the secret to a gentle breaking I would tell you. I know not the answer. My mind is. I fear it always will be as such.”

She stared at a nearby puddle. Her eyes swam with tears that flowed with all the freedoms in the world. Beth had adored puddles; she used to splash in them. “It’s all my fault. She is dead because of me,” Jo blurted unaware of what Laurie could be pondering. “She asked me to take some items to the Hummels. I didn’t so she went instead of me. If I had gone she would still be here…” Her voice broke. A sob shook her whole body. She should have gone. She should have taken the food. It was the least Jo could have done and she did not do so. Beth paid for Jo’s inaction with her life.

When Laurie wrapped his coat around her, she glanced up while clinging to it with all her might. “All right. I don’t want to bring any more grief and loss to my family. I….I need to find Amy. I don’t want to. I don’t ever want to see her again, but she deserves to know,” she whispered. “Thank you for your kindness and understanding even if I don’t know if I will ever pen a thing again.”

She needed the support. She had not eaten or dank in quite some time. She had not slept for awhile, too. Even though Laurie dropped it away, Jo took his hand and held onto tight. “Lead the way,” she said. Her voice did not sound like her own. It was quiet and soft and so very weary. “I will follow. I am so very tired, Teddy, but I do not want to sleep or eat or anything.”

If she thought she needed the support previous, she definitely needed it now. She clung to Laurie and gawked at him at the confession. “No. No. No. The way you love me is not the problem.  You do not have to change anything. You can even play billiards if you’d like,” she stammered. “But I do not think this is the place to talk about this. I would like to be dry before we have such deep conversations. Is that too much to ask? And, well, I must tell you that statement comes from masculine privilege.  Society sees us as man and woman even if we see each other as Laurie and Jo. They put us in roles that we might not desire. No matter how hard we fight those views they still exist. It’s why I can’t be a lawyer or doctor if I wanted. It’s why I don’t even wear these clothes. They belong to my father.” She held her arms out and showed him the outfit the best she could. It clung to her body with the rain and revealed much, although not as much as it did for Laurie.

WHAT COLOR IS YOUR AURA?

take the linked quiz from the perspective of your muse(s)

LAURIE

Bronze

leather books, cowboy hats, foxes, candle jars, sword hilts, cobblestone streets, hourglasses. your essence is bronze: you are a vivacious dreamer who embraces new experiences. your drive is indiscriminate and oftentimes over-indulgent; you take bets and are willing to cross lines. you are confident and unwavering in the face of obstacles -- but suggestible, and your attention is fickle. you are the thrill-seeker. you are the opportunist. you find kinship in like-minded individuals of coral, fire, crimson, and amber, who share your relentless energy. you are also drawn to the deep-thinking souls teal and moss, who will help you grow and see what ambitions are truly worth your time. however, you may struggle to get along with the opinionated personalities of amaranth and indigo who act above reproach.

SONNY

Navy

brush strokes, suit jackets, midnight, comforters, star gazing, arctic waters, starlings. your essence is navy: you are the keeper of your own narrative. you thrive on uniqueness and the unordinary; everything you feel, you feel deeply, and can be dissatisfied with everyday experiences. you do not shy from the intensity of competition. you are the protagonist. you are the indulgent. you find kinship in like-minded individuals of blue, sky, teal, and indigo, who share your depth and enigma. you are also drawn to the creative souls forest and amber, who will help you grow and learn to feel all of your emotions, not just the productive ones. however, you may struggle to get along with the direct personalities of noir and crimson who are too concerned with forcing their perspective.

JARIN

Chiffon

stone walls, sweaters, moths, dusty lace, animal tracks, incense, throw pillows. your essence is chiffon: your soft heart disarms those who meet you. you willingly swallow your feelings for everyone else; it is easier to hide your sensitivity. you may be a mirror, reflecting the best back at others, and not knowing quite who you are inside. you are the compromiser. you are the recaster. you find kinship in like-minded individuals of ashen, hickory, brown, and grey, who act with patience. you are also drawn to the cheerful orchid and honey, who will help you grow and discover what actually makes you happy. however, you may struggle to get along with the wild-hearted personalities of mauve and terracotta who act on their whims.

"uuuhhhh..." The justice-enthusiast stifles a laugh. Why does he find balding jokes so funny? Maybe because he hangs around a lout of balding cops and official types.

"that's a good one, actually, but, no... it's..."

"The prick's on the outside of the porcupine," Crockett punchlines, a quiet (now nervous) giggle.

"um..." mind left to think. what would be the difference? the waitress would deem herself horrible at riddles. so she just logically thought about how most old men she sees driving around mercedes lack hair and porcupines.. they have hair, right? "does the porcupine have hair?" rosanna amusingly questions, shrugging with her notepad and pen in hand.
