ONE MORE WEEK TO SUBMIT YOUR WORK FOR ROUND 52!
Plenty of time to send something in for this round.
To betray, there must be trust in the first place, an intimacy born out of understanding or love. You have to get close to plunge a knife between the ribs.
The theme for Lights on Park Ave Round 52 is betrayal.
Here are the prompts:
"Landfill" - Daughter
A Squid Game gifset about what Gihun and Sangwoo believe it takes to survive and win
"Judas' Gift" by Adam Phillips, a piece about the intimacy and transformative nature of betrayal
Lestat telling Louis that he's glad Louis is the one to kill him in AMC's Interview with the Vampire
Samson and Delilah - Peter Paul Rubens
Tony telling Steve he doesn't trust Steve and calling him a liar in Endgame
An excerpt from "Yesterday He Still Looked in My Eyes" by Marina Tsvetaeva where the narrator asks what she did to be abandoned
"Mr. Brightside" - The Killers
A quote about being betrayed by one's heart from A Heart Under a Cassock by Arthur Rimbaud
"9 Crimes" - Damien Rice
Shiv's reaction to Tom's betrayal while Tom, unaware that she caught him, disingenuously comforts her in Succession with commentary from Mark Mylod
Eduardo promising Mark that he'll go after him for cutting him out of the company in David Fincher's The Social Network
Steve confronting Tony about wiping his memory and what the Illuminati members are doing in Avengers Vol. 5 Issue 29
A gifset from Martin Scorsese's The Departed about the moles in the mob and FBI's ranks
The Taking of Christ - Caravaggio
The Ides of March - Edward John Poynter
Robbie shouting at Briony about how she and her family ruined his life and his future with Cecilia because of her lie in Atonement
"Vicious" - Daniel Hart (AMC's Interview with the Vampire OST)
Miss Kenton admitting her feelings to Stevens, which makes him realize that his rigid adherence to his beliefs cost him a chance with her in The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
Tom and Shiv fighting bitterly about how the other person betrayed them and trying to hurt each other in Succession
Tim telling Hawk in 1968 that their love was a fantasy because of Hawk's actions and not giving into a yearning Hawk in 1979 in Fellow Travelers
Round 52 will end on April 30, 11:59 PM ET (what time is that for me?).
As always, you’re free to jump in whenever you’d like during the round, a wide variety of work types is accepted, and there are no minimum work requirements. Unfinished works and works for other fandom events are allowed. You can find more information about Lights on Park Ave and the participation guidelines here.

MWW Artwork of the Day (4/14/22)
Caravaggio [Michelangelo Merisi](Italian, 1571-1610)
The Taking of Christ (c. 1598-1602)
Oil on canvas, 133.5 x 169.5 cm.
National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin
“The Taking of Christ” was painted for the Roman Marquis Ciriaco Mattei at the end of 1602, when the artist was at the height of his fame. Breaking with the past, Caravaggio offered a new visual rendering of the narrative of the Gospels, reducing the space around the three-quarter-length figures and avoiding any description of the setting, with the exception of a single olive branch. Judas has identified Jesus with a kiss and the temple guards move in to seize him; the expression of disturbed acceptance on his face one of the most moving details. The fleeing disciple in disarray on the left is Saint John the Evangelist. Only the moon lights the scene: although the man at the far side is holding a lantern, it is in reality an ineffective source.
Caravaggio is one of the featured artists in this MWW gallery/album:

A Comet Before the Ides
Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Rating: Gen
Warnings: none
Characters/Pairing: Tony Stark/Steve Rogers
Word count: 247
Link: none
Summary: Steve worries about Tony
Author’s note: for @lightsonparkave inspired by this painting. Set in the lead up to CATWS, but like if Steve and Tony were together.
“Don’t go tomorrow.”
Tony sighs and puts down his tablet, but his exasperation is probably undercut by the way he leans into Steve and rests his head on his shoulder. It’s comfortable, almost domestic, spending time like this with Steve. “I don’t know what you think is going to happen. It’s a meeting with SHIELD.”
Steve rubs Tony’s shoulder, squeezing him closer. He’s looking out on the city, at the diffuse glow of millions of people carrying on with their lives into the night. A helicopter passes, it’s bright lights streaking across the sky as it searches for a place to land.
“Something is wrong. I can’t put my finger on what, but I know it.”
“Are we talking Coulson got a new taser and wants to test it out or they’ve all been replaced by aliens seeking world domination?” Tony asks, twisting around to lay in Steve’s lap. “Because from here everything looks fine—as above the board a secret spy organization gets. We’ve been working with them for years.”
“The STRIKE team is up to something and whatever it is, they have authorization from above.”
“I doubt they’re going to ambush me on my way to a meeting about their new helicarriers, but if it’ll make you feel better, I’ll take the suit. You know I like to keep a little something up my sleeve.”
Steve huffs a laugh. “You’re going to find out what they’re up to aren’t you?”
“Would you expect anything less?”

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I got no excuse
And is that all right, yeah?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
That all right, yeah?
If you don't shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it?
That all right, yeah?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
That all right, yeah, with you?
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you
It's the wrong time
She's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I got no excuse
And is that all right, yeah?
To give my gun away when it's loaded
(Is that all right with you?)

If you don't shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it?

Comin' out of my cage and I been doin' just fine
Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all
It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm fallin' asleep and she's callin' a cab
While he's havin' a smoke and she's takin' a drag
Now they're goin' to bed and my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touchin' his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
And I just can't look, it's killin' me
And takin' control
Jealousy, turnin' saints into the sea
Swimmin' through sick lullabies
Chokin' on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is callin' me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
I'm comin' out of my cage and I've been doin' just fine
Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all
It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
(It was only a kiss) It was only a kiss
Now I'm fallin' asleep and she's callin' a cab
While he's havin' a smoke and she's takin' a drag
Now they're goin' to bed and my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touchin' his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
'Cause I just can't look, it's killin' me
And takin' control
Jealousy, turnin' saints into the sea
Swimmin' through sick lullabies
Chokin' on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is callin' me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
I never
I never
I never
I never
