Just had the most heartfelt Ineffable Husbands-related shower-sobbing moment when Ladyhawke’s Wild Things came up on my playlist.
Related it to them & the story but also tried to keep it positive for myself that there’s going to be a happy ending.
Lyrics (pasted rubbishly as I’m new to tumblr posting!)
Your heartache is not forever
It’s another road that we walk together
And our lives become much stronger
As the world goes on much longer
I wandered far to find the answers
What keeps me alive while taking chances
When you’re always almost lonely
You forget to take it slowly
There’s a fire
In the heartland
We dance around it like the wild things in the night
There’s a fire
In the heartland
We dance together like we’re wild things in the night
I met you in the midst of madness
You pulled me out then followed me in
To the night where we both wander
'Til our world goes on much longer
I’m hoping for a light in the dark
It’s getting closer, it’s who we are
When we’re almost always lonely
We forget to take it slowly
There’s a fire
In the heartland
We dance around it like the wild things in the night
There’s a fire
In the heartland
We dance together like we’re wild things in the night
Smoke in the distance
It pulls me inside it
We dance round the fire in time
There’s a fire
In the heartland
We dance around it like the wild things in the night
There’s a fire
In the heartland
We dance together like we’re wild things in the night
Wild things in the night
We dance together like we’re wild things in the night

uh idk post ep8 baylan and shin drabble idk I’ve been crying 🤠🤠
Shin sat alone at the fire. The bandits she’d made good company with went to sleep hours ago. Shin stayed, intently watching the darkness over Peridea.
“Little one? I’m not here to harm you.”
She drew her saber off her belt, turning it over in her hand.
“This is a padawan braid. It’s an old Jedi tradition used to show one’s rank.”
She gripped the hilt tightly, rubbing her thumb over the iron.
“They hurt you.”
“Is that why…”
“Don’t look, Shin. We need to fix you up.”
She ignited her saber, closely watching the orange glow in front of her and how it illuminated the dead grass.
“As long as you’re safe.”
She pulled at the braid over her right shoulder, passing and twirling it between her fingers.
“Will you ever leave?”
“Shin-“
“Will you?”
“Absolutely not. It’s never once crossed my mind.”
She pulled her loose hair out of the way and brought her saber up, cutting the braid off as high as she could.
“One parting lesson, Shin…”
He left her—no connection to her any longer.
She’d leave her last connection to him behind, too.

[ @modeinthemiddle | From here!]
Fin sighed quietly, glancing off towards the side at the comment.
"...thanks." They didn't believe her, but it was nice to hold on to all the same. The brunet wasn't willing to look at Mode as the two walked side-by-side, feeling the breeze moments after it danced through the tree leaves nearby.
"Well...yeah." He couldn't let anyone know about the extent of what his Quirk was, after all. "But Yagi is quiet from time to time...and it's not that awkward silence where I'm tryin' to find somethin' to say. It's always...nice. I guess he just likes having some time where he doesn't have to speak, since he's so used to having to pick and choose his words with the public." Though Fin hoped that Toshi never felt like he had to pick and choose his words around them...that was probably asking too much.
"...y-yeah...apparently,...his eyes glow when he experiences a really intense emotion...I'm pretty sure it's a side affect.." And by God, did that make their heart skip every time.-- Well. Their face was blazing now. Fuck. "--It's so cool."
"...'m not 'cute'. But...thanks. It's kinda hard not to be smitten for him..." Fin grinned a little. "...I hope you get to find someone too, Mode.- You're the best catch I know, after all!" They turned their head towards the other, smiling up at her. "And if anyone ever breaks your heart, lemme know and I'll stab 'em." They were joking, of course...
They were just glad Mode was willing to put up a little with them rambling- even if it was over their simple love life.
"Oh! Do y'wanna head to the cafeteria? I heard Lunch Rush was making boba tea for whoever heads in today." And they'd absolutely be trying to snag some with popping pearls instead of tapioca... While it wasn't the least quiet place to hang out, it was still food- without having to venture into the streets right now. The last thing Fin wanted was a paparazzi swarm.
