#this has been in my inbox for over a year

[andersonlore]

Abbys reaction to you telling her how hot she is while making out: "you're so hot I can't stand it it drives me crazy." - maybe the first time or one of the first times

all my love is free | abby anderson

tags: eighteen+, lesbians obsessed with each other, had to post during lesbian visibilty week like c'mon???, just a big bag of fluff packaged with light steam, abby being a nervous goofball, sfw with suggestive themes.

an. sorry i kind of disappeared with posts. new collab is taking over my brain. but wanted to at least post something. can't wait for y'all to get a taste. until then, i'll be finishing the requests in my inbox (hopefully). with all the love, ray.

the end of your first date with abby marks a colossal milestone, especially for the two of you. the moment almost seemed monumental. taking one year of abby’s pining, six months of flirting and six months of tiptoeing while you were with someone else. respectfully, waiting until a month after the breakup, she asks you out.

unimaginable expectations abby had before going into tonight, but all she had to offer it seems was her nerves. god, she was acting like a dumb, mumbling, dork tonight. saying the first thought coming to mind, but it makes you laugh. when abby nearly eats it on the sidewalk, tripping over a crack of grout in the cement. your soft angelic voice taking her out for a moment, the only thing centering her from having a meltdown. 

“baby, are you alright? be careful, honey.” there it is, angelic. “wouldn’t want you to fall.” the first pet names hurled her way by you, making her heartbeat faster than she could keep up with. you cut her off at her knees, ensuring you are the only person she could ever want.

fuck, fuck, fuck.

it’s pretty obvious who was in control the entire night. if the two of you are friends, this night has a year of expectations, hopes, goals to meet and abby felt like she was failing. deeply.

as she walks you up to the front door, she knows the only thing she accomplished was letting you down. nothing went the way she thought it was going to. everything felt off. worst of all, your silence snuffs her out, completely.

you grab her hands, pulling her up the stairs with you. the collar feels too hot, tense, off. delicate fingers playing with the collar before you unclasp the buttons, keeping down before you move to her chest, placing your hand on abby’s inconsistent heartbeat.

“can i? s’tense, need you to loosen up for me. alright?” abby nods, accepting you can read her like the back of your hand. she just doesn’t want you to stop touching her. “get out of this head of yours. s’just me and you, no one else.” your nimble fingers pop the first three buttons, revealing her freckled chest, dipping into her sternum, giving you a delicious preview. she takes a deep breath, and you believe it’s the first one she’s allowed herself since she showed up with a bouquet of flowers in hand. 

“‘m sorry, i didn’t mean to ruin tonight. i just— it’s you. y’know? i’ve never wanted someone like this. been friends for ages and this is just everything. you are everything. i’ll never live with myself if i let you slip through my fingers.” her heartbeat calms under your touch the longer abby speaks, bringing a warmness to your own. “don’t worry about all of it. you’re not going to. i won’t let you.” 

“okay.” abby says as she gets lost in the light in your eyes. the fire visible behind yours. the way she’s looking at you? fuck. unimaginable desire — all for you. it almost seems too good to be true. like you don’t deserve it. waiting for the pin to drop, all the misery drowning you with it. “did you have a good time tonight?” 

“yes baby, i did.” you smirk as she inches forward, closing you into your front door. back pressed against it, her small breasts pressed to your chest, her free hand extended, next to your head as it lays flat on the door.

“s’good. wouldn’t want to kiss you if the date was bad.” all the confidence is back. the abby who flirted with you shamelessly for months on end. knowing you’re happy is enough for her. it’s all she needs to know to let the loser in her fall to ashes. but you taking the reins for a moment, does something so visceral inside her. she nearly doesn’t know how to act until her instincts kick in. 

she’ll satisfy you — just in the way she knows how. 

“what are y—” abby pressed her body weight into you, strong hips pinning you against the door using one of her hands to pin both of yours above your head. you’re whimpering, signaling your shock but the whine omitting from your lips tells abby your pussy is shocked. soaked.

“doing what i should have done months ago.” her pink plump lips meet yours, taking complete control over you. but you welcome it with open arms. she grunts in your mouth causing you to gasp as abby’s tongue enters your mouth. massaging it with yours in a swift battle for dominance. 

it’s too much but also not enough. you’re grinding against her, your crotch kissing hers as you lift a leg, wrapping it around her waist. she continues kissing you like her entire life depends on it. not letting you feel anything but her. she’ll be your everything and you’re not leaving until you understand it just as much as her. “abs—” you mumble in her mouth, abby relinquishes the tight grip on her hands.

immediately your hands are woven in her hair. tugging at the golden hair, as you try to pull her closer to you, if it was even possible. but the two of you have to come up for air, abby the first one to break as she chuckles at both of your heaving chests. 

“fuck, you’re so hot, baby. can’t stand it.” you peck her lips softly. admiring how puffy and swollen they look from her ministrations. god, you want her to devour you once again. “‘m, drives me crazy.” you admit, taking in the intoxicating smirk on her face. you’re not made into a fumbling mess easily. the both of you know it. that’s how abby knows it in her bones, she has you. fuck, she can’t ever imagine letting go.

Ok, I’ll guess I’ll just be the Hiddles anon. Lol since my hatred for her really geared up bc of her involvement with him.

Anyway. So wait. She cheated on Joe??? That’s like the third time she’s cheated, if I’m not mistaken.

She cheated on Calvin — or at least there was an overlap — with Tom Hiddleston. Then she insinuated in her shit music, that she used Tom as a rebound or cover bc she actually wanted Joe (she met them both around the same time at the Met Gala in 2016). And she used Joe to “prove” how private she really was bc she blamed Tom for their “romance” being so out there.

The man would travel between London and various places in America without a peep, but, sure, Jan.

Their breakup always cracks me up bc he was supposed to fly from LA to the east coast somewhere to meet back up with her. On her plane. They had paps on the tarmac in LA to show him getting on the plane. Then they had paps waiting with her on the east coast to catch them reuniting. Except when the plane landed no one got out. So she went and climbed onboard. A few minutes passed and she came stomping out of the plane mad as a hornet and shooed the paps away. Word got out that he decided after his awkward and uncomfortable appearance at ComicCon some time before that (when he literally said the words “Taylor Swift and I are in love” 🙄) that he didn’t want to be a part of this PR nightmare anymore. So he didn’t get on the plane. And to add insult to injury, it was said he left a small gift bag on one of the seats. Inside it? A self-help book for getting over narcissism. 🤣🤣🤣 He popped up like a week later in London near where he lived. Proving he can get around without anyone noticing him.

During this PRship is when I really got an idea of how she operates and controls her image. She has a three month plan: the “outing,” so to speak (pix on the rocks kissing with Hiddles), being seen out and about (them kissing and touring in time and other places), pix with his family (they walked on the beach near his mother’s home with his mother, sister, and young niece), and then her supporting her friends (they attended a Selena Gomez concert fighter….he looked like a dad accompanying his daughter and her friends 🤦🏽‍♀️). She also has scripts for what her partner is supposed to say. I’ve heard he kept them and he and his friends would sit around (after they broke up) and read them out loud and laugh their asses off at the terrible writing. It’s probably why he sounded so wooden and uncomfortable when he spoke about her during the, what I call, Snakebite of Summer 2016. The rumors were she was trying to get him to take her to the Emmys that September but he didn’t want to.

Anyway…yeah I have a lot of intel from those days 😂 (sorry for the long ass ask!)

hiddleswift lore? in MY inbox? in 2024? it’s more likely than you think! I love this rundown thank you for explaining it!

She’s cheated 3 times and she’s still the victim in all her music? HOW? And how the hell did she convince her fans too?

So she cheated on Calvin with Tom to get with…Joe? This is so manipulative. I hate feeling bad for men but she genuinely makes me feel bad for her exes. She’s awful. If he actually left the self help book, he’s so funny for that. It’s been 8 years and she still hasn’t changed.

Your analysis of her PR relationships is on point! I see the same thing happening with Kelce. With the release of this album it feels like she’s intentionally fizzling out their romance. The scripts make sense because all of her partners sound the same when talking about her. How miserable she must be knowing all the love her partners have for her is fabricated.

Hi, I have a request for a Spencer Reid fluff. After JJ confesses to him, his partner (preferably they/then) who works at the BAU finds out and is worried he will leave them due to believing they talk too much from friends outside of work telling them they are. If possible, could reader also have ADHD, it's ok if not. You can change anything you don't like or feel comfortable writing.

hi, this has been rotting in my inbox,srry but here

Spencer Reid sat at his desk in the BAU, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts as he went over case files. He felt a tap on his shoulder and looked up to see JJ standing there, a nervous look on her face.

"Spencer, can we talk?" she asked softly.

"Of course, JJ," Spencer replied, his brow furrowing with concern. He followed her to a quieter corner of the bullpen, where she took a deep breath before speaking.

"I need to tell you something," JJ began, her words hesitant. "I... I have feelings for you. More than just friendship."

Spencer's heart skipped a beat at her confession, his mind racing as he processed her words. He had harbored secret feelings for JJ for years, but he never imagined she felt the same way.

"JJ, I... I don't know what to say," Spencer stammered, his thoughts a jumble of emotions.

"I understand if you don't feel the same way," JJ said quickly, her eyes downcast. "I just couldn't keep it to myself anymore."

Spencer reached out and gently lifted her chin, meeting her gaze with his own. "I do feel the same way, JJ," he admitted softly. "I've felt it for a long time."

A smile spread across JJ's face, relief evident in her eyes. "Really?" she asked, her voice tinged with hope.

"Really," Spencer confirmed, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders as he spoke the truth.

As they stood there, lost in the moment, Spencer's partner approached, a concerned look on their face. They had overheard the conversation and couldn't help but feel a pang of insecurity.

"Spencer... JJ..." they began hesitantly, drawing the attention of the couple.

"Hey," Spencer said warmly, reaching out to them. "Come join us."

His partner hesitated for a moment before stepping closer, their expression a mix of apprehension and vulnerability.

"I couldn't help but overhear..." they started, their words trailing off uncertainly.

Spencer squeezed their hand reassuringly. "It's okay. JJ just told me how she feels."

His partner's eyes widened in surprise. "Oh... I see."

Spencer could sense their unease and immediately wanted to alleviate their worries.

"Hey, listen," he said earnestly, looking into their eyes. "I know you have ADHD, right? Sometimes my mind is all over the place, but that doesn't mean I can't focus on what's important. And what's important to me is you."

His partner's tense shoulders relaxed slightly at his words, a small smile tugging at the corners of their lips.

"I know," they replied softly. "It's just... hearing all those comments from our friends about how much I talk, I couldn't help but wonder..."

Spencer gently cupped their face in his hands, his gaze unwavering. "You're not just 'someone' to me," he said earnestly. "You're my partner, my confidant, my rock. And I wouldn't trade you for anything in the world."

Tears welled up in his partner's eyes as they leaned into his touch, feeling a rush of love and reassurance wash over them.

"Thank you, Spencer," they whispered, their voice filled with emotion.

Spencer smiled tenderly, pulling them into a warm embrace. In that moment, surrounded by the bustling activity of the BAU, they knew that no matter what challenges they faced, they would always have each other.

I’m so far removed from writing right now, but I really want to be in it again so here are some thoughts:

This scene feels like it should have a mirror. Charlie and Dean walking through renaissance fair talking about Emily and Myin and how Dean knows Emily is into Charlie, and Charlie teasing Dean about Myin even though Dean knows Myin only has eyes for Sam. “Though he doesn’t hate spending time with Dani and Penny watching scooby doo”

Flipping back and forth at the perfectly mirrored phrase we also see Emily and Myin. Myin is showing Wmily around some American culture and food while trying to find the right way to get advice from her friend without spilling the beans that Myin and Sam are pregnant.

Confession: Just how many people have had sex on Liam's couch, how many times? Usually involving Liam - dude gets around - but I feel like there's also been some Jaal/Peebee, Ryder/various people other than Liam, and Gil/random dudes he likes, action on that couch. I hope someone's cleaning it?

[bellamyblake]

I'm not defending Bellamy's actions when it comes to Madi taking the flame because the whole situation was really effed up (though if we have tbh, he did go to her and both him and Gaia explained what was going on without lying and Gaia said she had to make her choice and they didn't force it to her though yes, there was manipulation perhaps attached it the same way Clarke has manipulated other characters in previous seasons including Bellamy to convince them to do what's right) but the one thing that I do find very interesting is that when Niylah frees Clarke, Clarke doesn't try to break into the crypt where it's happening, she could and while yes there's many people who are armed, they could find a way in but she doesn't-she discusses this with Niylah, what would happen to madi if she became commander and you could tell that she too agrees deep down with Bellamy and knew it was the only way as much as it hurt which is why she next goes and tries to kill Octavia and threaten her life (which is where Octavia tells her-this really isn't like you, if you kill me, my people will kill you and Madi still dies which like...idk I feel like they're pushing the idea of Clarke being more heart than she was before too hard down our throats, same as Bellamy for being head while yes, he is more level-headed and it suits him (you can say what you wanna say but this was needed) I think that they're completely ignoring the fact that Clarke was HEART and HEAD too in previous seasons as well and that yes she now has a child but this is a bit too hard-selling them on the idea of it for me).

Anyway just thoughts...and as a whole Madi not becoming commander just couldn't be prevented imo. It's the gun hanging from the wall waiting to fire at the right time.

#the 100 #madi griffin #clarke griffin #bellamy blake #not that i think that he made the right choice because he didn't #he had been there with his sister and he would've wanted to protect her the same way #but let's not forget he poisoned her for clarke #madi and to stop the war #also people shit on him for saying tha murphy emori raven and eggo are his family #but the truth is that they are he has been with them for over six years #he is not ignoring clarke or saying she's not that but he's saying that just as she has madi #he has them and he has to think of them too #and people hate on that #anyway i'll delete that cause it'll cause angry people in my inbox but just had to let it out

Flower

Ghostbur floated in a field, just slightly above all of the flowers. He didn't want to squish any of them, so he'd opted to hover instead of lying down, still wanting to be close enough to enjoy their presence.

He could smell them from where he lay, their sweet aroma mixed with the earthiness of the dirt. It was a comforting smell for Ghostbur. He very much liked it .

Friend didn't have the luxury of being able to float, however, so she was curled up in an area that didn't have too too many flowers.

To the naked eye she looked asleep, but Ghostbur knew better. He could see her ears twitch at the occasional sound, and he knew that if he decided to leave, that she'd come with him.

Ghostbur didn't want to leave though. He was enjoying where he was very much.

It was a sunny day today and Ghostbur loved sunny days. Nature always seemed much more alive. He could hear birds tweeting, crickets chirping, cicadas humming.

It was also much nicer than the rain. The rain melted Ghostbur, so Ghostbur didn't like it all that much. But not the sun! The sun was very nice.

(this is soooo not meant to be mean to you in any way I just had to get this out)

Okay I hear you about looking at the GO leak with a focus on the queerness being a secret or not. But that is soooo not a Neil thing to do (historically, truly this man has always written queer characters since the 80s- looking at you Sandman). But I also don't want to come off as just defending him when I just wanna talk about the thing you know? This is clearly (to me) about the state of filmmaking right now. The obnoxious need for spoilers ahead of release has always been so irritating and gross to me. All the messages Neil gets asking for spoilers is just stupid and I don't understand the disconnect with the fans. The two seconds of attention you get from Neil telling you to "wait and see" can't possibly be that validating.

But my point is more about how things like this affect the industry in general. The Endgame marvel movies scripts were mostly redacted to the point of actors not even knowing what characters they were talking to to "avoid spoilers" (they didn't trust their actors basically). This degrades the final performance and thus the quality of the entire thing. If all the higher ups in the industry hear that fans just want spoilers, they will cater to that marketing landscape and the quality of storytelling and filmmaking will suffer for it. This isn't new with GO, this has been happening for a while. It goes right along with a million shows being made just to cancel after one season. This is related to why the WGA is striking. Seriously.

It's like how I was absolutely hoping to see Andrew Garfield in No Way Home, but all of the leaks and speculating made the surprise so much less fun in the moment. If I didn't know that was gonna happen I would have cried in the movie theater. But I did know. And that sucked. Because I also feel like when things are leaked out of context we are now in a state where filmmakers can go back and change things last second, once again to the detriment of the final piece. (I'm pretty sure I heard of this actually happening but I forget with what.)

I'm sorry to dump all this on you but this whole thing is super frustrating to me. I've seen a lot of people shitting on Neil or making this about something much smaller (and therefore blameworthy) than it is, which is just so unnecessary. I think there's a place for leaks in a whistleblower context, like the stuff with the Idol, but this kind of thing simply doesn't need to happen.

LASTLY I'm sorry but destiel cannot be compared to this whatsoever. Amazon WILLINGLY releases queer content. Period. Lmao. The CW?? An enemy. Yeah sure leak the tapes they were homophobic for spns entire run. Not putting the GO kiss out is not a censorship tactic?? It's just a keeping scenes in context to be fulfilling within the whole story tactic? I just don't think being respectful of storytellers and their audiences is an outdated notion. At least it shouldn't be.

Again I'm sorry for this ask, my frustration is not directed at you personally, but at the conversation I'm seeing in general.

again i GET what you're saying about the spoiler landscape. i just. don't watch trailers ever. the only exception to this rule for me has been the Barbie trailer. I pick up books w/o reading summaries bc I'm like. I WANT THE SURPRISE. im super anal about spoilers generally. like. i get wanting to keep things a surprise i fully do but i just feel like with this specific thing it's just. weird imo. esp if you also want to openly be like well they are soulmates. which is what they've been saying since forever.

like. here's the thing: fans don't WANT the spoilers. the marvel movie machine jsut wants to coast on the shock value instead of making a good movie with a good story. which is why they don't want the actors sharing anything bc if the audience is not shocked or surprised, the audience is not feeling anything. their stories have lost their points. like yeah people badgering him for spoilers is stupid but in general people want more of a teaser than anything else i think. i mean i don't think anyone's gonna be super happy if the context of the kiss spoiler came out rn ykwim? like that's a big spoiler in this scenario imo

also GAGDJDN NO NO EXACTLY THAT WAS MY POINT. I was saying that even in the context of "a ship going canon" sth like destiel getting leaked would be so much more different. than whatever this is. because that's a whole different can of worms. but yeah. essentially it's like. i personally don't see this as "ruining" the story in any way. and i think bc it happened from the official source, people are entitled to like. talking about it. making fun of it. whatever else. it's like. okay you wanted to keep it in but it's out now and FUNCTIONALLY it has changed nothing so just. let them be??

edit: like again this is my personal perspective on the whole thing i think it's fine if individual fans want to avoid looking at it or whatever it's like. their business. that's not a thing i have an issue with. but i kinda hate that the blame falls on fans for sharing things around. it's not like someone hacked into prime video's servers and stole the footage yk shdgjdkd someone ELSE was being an irresponsible employee at the hq so like be mad at Amazon for being stupid ykwim

#i mean i have been lukrwarm about how neil has talked about azcrowley over the years tbh so i guess that's def colouring my perception #where even if he's not blaming fans directly he's just like oh make this go away or whatever and it's like chill #it's fine peoplr still actually dont really know anything. it's just a shot no context #good omens leak #doe's inbox

[slythereen]

Idk maybe i'm late to the discussion but from what i heard from people around me, people are mad at cheerleaders being there because (and this is not me hating on it i know it's an american thing) f1 is being americanized and that that is not necessarily a good thing for the sport (i'm not talking about the money thing, but about the fact that the focus should be on the racing and everything else is unnecessary? Like ive had (older generation) people tell me that even this whole music act thing (and the circus) is unnecessary? Like it's not a festival, it's not supposed to be coachella, people tune in for the race and the drivers)

not to worry the discussion was just me commentating into the void !!

but yes, that does seem like part of it. mainly i was seeing people upset by the sexism of it all (& “stepping backwards” after finally getting rid of grid girls and trying to boost f1 academy) which is what my original commentary was about. personally i don’t see cheerleaders as the pinnacle of misogyny (likely because i am used of american sports), which is why i have always been a bit confused about the outrage that got grid girls banned. same thing in my mind… though i guess, culturally, grid girls may have been treated differently than cheerleaders based exactly on that distinction. idk.

anyway: the “americanization” of f1 does seem to be a giant point of contention. i agree watching the podium placers walk out between the cheerleader lines was slightly hysterical because they looked so confused and it was just… excessive. i liked the pre-race show appearance, would have been happy to see them still doing some cheering near the podium, but the walk-out style a la miami being replicated here was A Bit Much.

i just don’t know how much this can really be blamed on american fans per se and how much it needs to be taken up with liberty media/f1… they seem to be driving the “entertainment” push & the american gps are giving them what they asked for and being actively encouraged (i believe) to go all out and “american” with it. in theory it’s kind of a genius PR move by f1/liberty because it means they can get the circus they want and tap into american viewership while simultaneously shifting the blame onto american fans/gps when/if things go over poorly abroad.

all that to say is i’m interested to see how this shakes out with next year’s calendar and the potential waning of american interest if the “mainstream” fans push to reduce american involvement. like, is liberty still going to try to push gp hosts to amp up the craziness anyway? will they abandon the project and just pass it off as a failed american experiment? are we going to see it backfire for f1 and see a migration from all the new american fans being pushed to indycar and nascar instead, since those are already “ours” (quote unquote) and more receptive to new viewership? inquiring minds (me) want to know

#i think Austin has always been a bit of a show #i mean… it’s Texas #and I remember Tswift performing there once?? or something #it’s the addition of Miami and Vegas also being a show that I think is pushing it over the line for people methinks #idk i think liberty is absolutely instigating and driving the chaos to a degree intentionally #adding to my assessment of Indy/nascar: i think WEC as well #mostly based on the commentators of le mans this year #they were very excited of the new attention they were getting because of tge F1 Wave™ #there was a very sweet little welcome spiel about halfway through to new fans and old fans and american fans #it was cute #so I could see other categories being less…. stuffy than f1 and benefitting from f1s initial draw #and then subsequent loss #hmmm #sorry anon you picked the wrong inbox if you didn’t want deranged rambling 😭😭 #paddock politics #????? #idk that seems as good a tag as any #f1 #*delphi

[tzalmavet]

do you listen to welcome to nightvale? i think youd like it :3

I haven’t tried it yet, so nope!  Kind of a surprise I guess, since I’ve actually been on tumblr for about as long as it’s been around, and I got to see its rise in popularity, peak of its fandom, and its twitter quotes being shared around endlessly on here, in real time...

I’ve always thought it sounded really cool and like something I’d possibly enjoy, but the sad truth is... I don’t like podcasts.  I usually avoid them like the plague!  So many of them just seem so improvised (even lacking transcriptions!), and that combined with the lack of visuals makes for a medium full of repellant vibes that I can never sit down and pay attention to. WtNV though, from what I can tell, came out before everyone and their dog was making podcasts, so maybe it’s different?  It has the framing device of being a radio show, which is a clever way to take advantage of a purely audio-based medium for fiction, and I have been meaning to try out radio-based fiction for a while...  I’ll definitely give it at least a try, someday!  I’ve seriously been meaning to for years.  I just struggle to listen to podcasts without getting annoyed, bored, or distracted, since there’s rarely scripts (I also assume that if a podcast is Good, there will be something special you get from the audio experience that you’d lack if it were just the script, or even a novelization), and I can’t idle scrolling tumblr or daydreaming while listening since I’d have to pay attention to the words being spoken.

Maybe someday...!

#(remembers that this ask has been in my inbox for over a year) uh oh!! #the fact that WtNV is an Actual Work Of Fiction instead of just some friends chatting over something that'd be better as an article or book #is definitely promising... I'm just Neurodivergent and my ability to pay attention to and get invested in certain mediums varies wildly #thank u for the rec though. hehe #welcome to night vale #wtnv #answers #anonymous ask

21. collapse + catalina hawke

words: 1,251 warnings: canon-typical blood, violence, and presence of corpses

Though the dust was settling thickly over the ever-damp streets of Darktown, Catalina found that her heart could not — would not — do the same. It rattled like a wild thing inside her chest, desperately tearing at the bars of her ribs as if it might break free. Around the edges of her vision, the walls blurred with a thick fog. Likely the chokedamp that writhed and gathered in the darkest corners of this fucking maze. She scoffed, and tasted blood with it. Faintly, she remembered how it had sprayed from a fatal wound, her sword cleaved several inches deep into the meat of that Carta dwarf’s shoulder. Her mouth must have been hanging open, gasping for a breath or crying out in fury. Nose wrinkling, she spat copper-tinged and thick into the dirt at her feet. It wasn’t as if it wouldn’t blend right into the already-bloodied earth. "Oh, Bethy,” she began under her breath, kicking at a corpse petulantly, “this was easier when you could just burn them for me. Now I have to own a flint.” Catalina drew the aforementioned flint and steel from the pouch at her hip, ignoring how her whole body twinged at the motion. A hot bath later would sort that right out, if she could convince Bodahn to help her dredge up the water for it. It was easy enough to light up the pile, crouching low to the ground until the spark grew into a polite blaze, held at bay by the damp walls and the chokedamp that clung to them. Better to burn the bodies than to let them fester in this place.

She might have done so, once upon a time, before Anders and his steady insistence. Rot wrought disease in all places, even more so among the lowest of the low, trapped here away from the sun. It was assuredly selfish, but if Catalina could limit the visitors to Anders’ clinic, she would. Maybe then he would come home more nights than not.  A few long moments later, when she planted her hands steadily on her knees and pushed herself upright, a groan gusted past her lips. It slipped through her gritted teeth, unexpected and bright in the recesses of the Undercity. Her body ached. Dulled edges of pain grew sharp, whetted by the drain of adrenaline from her bones. Distantly, Catalina realized her side was too warm under her armor, that the fog clinging to the edge of her vision was not only gathered in the dark corners of the street. When she pressed a tentative hand to her ribs, it came back wet and warm — fresh then. “That’s not good,” she breathed through a weak chuckle, a sardonic curl to her lips. Anders would have her head this time, for sure.  Anders. Andersandersandersandersandersanders.  He would be able to help. He would give her an earful first for being so damn reckless, for going out alone, for being a fool with a god-complex. But he would help even as he grumbled, and he would press his lips to her forehead as his hand rested gentle and warm and glowing with magic across the span of her wound.  Catalina pressed her own hand to the steadily-bleeding wound at her side, and imagined it was his. Thinner, but with longer fingers, and steadier than her own. And she walked onward, disguising the pained limp of her gait, the easy target she would make so far away from home. It helped, too, that her hair remained matted with blood not her own, smeared where she had tried and failed to wipe her face clean. That her armor clanked forebodingly with every labored step.  As she walked, her mind wandered. Easier to think of bowls of milk left out for the strays and a lantern set out in the creeping darkness than to let her mind get caught on the jagged edges of torn skin. She was almost like a stray herself, she thought. Always showing up on his doorstep with a sad look about her. A dry laugh rumbled in her chest like a prayer, turning into a wet cough and a wince as she gripped more tightly at her side.  Blood bubbled up between her fingers, welling up and over and dripping into the dirt. It was stupid of her to leave such an obvious trail, but her mind was full of golden hair and golden eyes. Long, thin fingers with bony knuckles that poked and prodded and fit between her own. And it was growing darker around the edges, until all she had was a slipping hold on her side and the faint awareness of heavy steps plodding on. A lantern glowed faintly above, wavering like a mirage. Real? Catalina couldn’t tell, not with how her ears were ringing and her eyes refused to focus. They slid from brown-tinged wall to brown-tinged wall until she was dizzy with it, feet shuffling through the dust and dirt and waste without lifting up. She feared she might lose it entirely.

There was a door in front of her.  That hadn’t been there before, had it? Catalina didn’t remember seeing it. She would have remembered seeing it. She liked this door.  It was easy enough to sag against the doorframe, her pauldron connecting heavily with the wood. Later, there would be a dent left behind, a reminder that they had lived and loved and survived in this place. But now there was only the dull metallic edge digging into an old, dry plank.  After a pause — only a moment, but feeling so much longer for the way her vision blurred and her head swam — the door creaked open. A beam of golden light from the lantern above her head slipped through the crack, illuminating a man peering out. For a brief, kismet moment her vision focused and all that mattered was him. Anders.  “Hawke?” he asked, brows pinched in worry and eyes narrowed in strain against the blue lines that threatened to overtake them.  Unable to help herself, Catalina grinned at him, baring bloodied teeth as she leaned more heavily against the doorway. “Miss me?” she teased, voice slurring, before she collapsed forward and into him.  Anders grunted under the sudden weight, the breath knocked from his lungs even as his arms reflexively wrapped around her middle to support her.  “I missed you,” she admitted quietly, morose now as she tucked her nose into the space between his feathered cape and his neck, sighing heavily. He was so warm like this, comfortable even through the clinical scent of antiseptic and the heavier shroud of putrefaction that lay over him. She knew she smelled the same. Life and Death always had a funny way of taking after one another. “I know, dear. I missed you too.” The blue light had faded now into nothingness. Catalina sighed into the crook of his neck in answer, some of the lingering tension draining out her body. His hand, slender and clever, swept soothingly over her side and in its wake was the warm tingle of magic knitting her skin back together.  “Come, let’s get you to bed,” he murmured, walking her towards one of the empty cots with all the professionalism any man could muster with a grown woman clinging to him like a burr. Catalina only nodded, stepping weakly in time with him as if they were dancing a waltz. They were certainly close enough to have been. “We’ll talk in the morning. Now sleep, Lina.”
