THERE'S THIS THING THAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BECOME FAMOUS. yes, that six-letter word that wraps itself around different tiers and, for those asking, robin scherbatsky was nowhere near taylor swift’s level with her private jet making fumes on the socials nor kim kardashian’s where even the manager of a corner store would find her breakup plastered on their newspaper stand, but she was known enough to feel the aftereffects. those places she once called home are now teeming with people eager to walk in her footsteps. there’s journalism students sprawling books out at mclaren's, crossing their fingers that she’d someday walk back in, knowing that once she was one of the five claiming its burgundy booth. she can no longer get onto the subway station at 86th without seeing a coworker’s, or at least someone running in her industry’s circles, face dipped in black and white, fronting a newspaper. randoms hitting a turtle's shell just like she did at the american museum of natural history, influencers recreating her sparkling commercials, so many microscopic details of her life have been replicated, and while there was a sense of pride in that, she always hoped the empire state building was one place they didn't take away from her.
of course, it was where barney proposed to her for the first time, all those years ago, before their marriage went up in flames, before she went back to ted, before ted and her decided that it was a romantic pipedream to think she ever could fill the shoes of tracey. new york’s air feels entirely different too. it’s no longer mystic, but holds its own nostalgic fragrance that she wishes she could bottle up before departing, being one of the tourists now who go up there whenever they need a reminder that it’s not just a place filled with pollution but night crawling with dreams. she’s close to walking down its spiralling steps, ready for whenever her town car will take her next, only to spot his silhouette cowering over its railing. "i wonder what the playbook’s pick-up quip is for seeing a familiar face at the empire state building?" she asked, the corner of her mouth pulling up by a notch, like a puppeteer wanting a smile out of her. "do you still live here? it’d be strange if you’re not. i'm not quite sure how new york city would cope."

THE RYTHMIC GLOOM OF DEATH'S MARCH is only a musical ploy one’s clued into once they pass over. at least, that's what we assume if we're not among the few who understand how this reality works. see, death’s horseman doesn’t just show up once it’s time, masquerading himself in the ghost of someone familial or at least so previously decidedly loved by us, but for a psychic it’s in the night hours, the dreams that provide intuition to what’s near, in a touch of a hand, the silenced voices spiralling in someone’s head. awakening is both a gift, reminding oneself of how resplendent life can be when limitless, but also a rotten curse that separates you from those asleep, and for wanda, who experiences clairvoyance, it’s often like living through a state of replay. she not only dreamt of vision’s passing but also heard his own lullaby echo of infinite "it’s alrights" transcend throughout the forest when he passed, steve only mere metres away.
nothing she could’ve ever done about it, just a simple nudge that someday it would come into being. sometimes, like now, she can still hear the confidence in his voice despite her own trembling if they had switched positions. being so stuck into the vagueness of memories and soon to be's that she doesn’t notice her surroundings, can’t quite zone in on the silhouette of the ex-soldier with auburn hair cuffing the back of his neck, a much different haircut when considering his cleaned do. he’s claimed her as his unofficial assistant at shield in the months since half the nation came back from the void, everyone it seems except vision. it’s a cough that brings her out of everything, boomeranging her back into the moment, and as if a computer itself who has been rebooted after a bug has destroyed its system, there’s no traces of grief displayed on her features. just a cheeky smile. "you know i can be doing more than this right? surely there’s some witches to be trained." even that sentence itself triggers the passing of tony stark, another hero lost at war. "one’s telepathic mind to be perfected," and she walks towards him then, forgetting about the paperwork creased in her arms.

Hello, I’m Rachel, 27, operating from a gmt time zone! I’ve been in groups during recent times, and played Elena Gilbert throughout my high school era, but with limited time on my hands as I work as a journalist yet still a need for collaborative writing, I’ve decided to start up an indie multi-muse blog. Oh, and my little oc mascot is Miss Swift, aka my favourite writer, with my love starting for her since I was twelve... there she is now!
The characters I’ll be writing for can be found here, header here, and icon here. Please keep in mind that I care more about your quality of writing than the sort of graphics that you use or your writing format! So, with that in mind, mine won't be at all fancy. I only like my dashboard to be filled with mutuals, so if we’re not doing so by a week’s time, then I will be unfollowing. If I do end up following you again, I’m sorry! I’m rather forgetful, and it’s NOT a sign of me trying to persist through but that I simply don’t remember following the first time.
