You’re Losing Me

A/N: is this shit? yes. but this song? not shit

Summary: She’s at her breaking point. (dun dun dun)

WC: 1,427

~ You say, "I don't understand, " and I say, "I know you don't"

We thought a cure would come through in time, now, I fear it won't ~

It had been six months and nothing changed, his empty promises remained unfulfilled. She was at her breaking point.

She loved him as if he was oxygen, needing him to live, to survive. His drinking had only gotten worse since his release from prison. The oxygen she needed turned to suffocating her. Things had gotten so bad that she started to dread going home, catching up on missing paperwork instead or sitting in her office wondering how things got to this point.

He usually wasn’t home until after midnight most nights, drinking at the bar that was close to their house. It was just after ten o’clock when she arrived home, surprised to see his car in the driveway.

She expected a fight when she walked through the door. The kitchen was trashed, plates shattered to pieces laid on the ground, an empty twelve-pack sat on the counter, the empty bottles strewn everywhere.

~ Remember lookin' at this room, we loved it 'cause of the light

Now, I just sit in the dark and wonder if it's time

Do I throw out everything we built or keep it? ~

Fighting back tears, she grabbed the broom and started sweeping up the pieces of glass. “Home early?” he asked, coming into her view. She didn’t dare to speak, she was pissed. She was hurt. She was over it. “Silent treatment now?” he asked, slurring his words. “Did you at least have a good day at work?”

More silence.

“Jesus christ, Michelle, do you not know how to have a decent conversation?”

“How much have you had to drink?” she asked bitterly.

“Ah there it is, blaming me yet again. I had a couple beers, big deal.” he said defensively.

“I’m going to bed.”

“Whatever.” she wasn’t going to fight with him tonight, she’d save it for tomorrow night.

“Why are you being a bitch?” he asked.

~ I'm getting tired even for a phoenix

Always risin' from the ashes

Mendin' all her gashes

You might just have dealt the final blow ~

Stopping dead in her tracks, she turned around to face him, glaring at him. “Excuse me?”

“You heard me.”

“Fuck you, Tony.” she said before going upstairs to their bedroom. She pulled out a bag and started throwing clothes into it.

“Where are you going?” No answer. “Hello?” he snapped his fingers. “Earth to Michelle?” he tried again, knocking his hand over her hand.

“Don’t fucking touch me,” she hissed.

“What the fuck is your problem tonight? Sorry you had a bad day at work but that isn't a reason to take it out on me.”

~ Stop, you're losin' me

Stop, you're losin' me

Stop, you're losin' me I can't find a pulse

My heart won't start anymore

For you

'Cause you're losin' me ~

“Do you honestly think that work is my problem?”

“Nope,” he said, popping the ‘p.’ “Wanna know what my problem is?” he asked. “My problem is that you still work for the bastards who put me away and expect me to be okay with it.”

“Who’s going to pay the bills then? I’m not the one who can’t find a job.” She hadn’t meant to throw that out there, she knew how hard he looked for a job when he first got out. She remembered seeing the defeat every time he got turned down from one when they found out about his background.

His shoulders sank.

~ Every mornin', I glared at you with storms in my eyes

How can you say that you love someone you can't tell is dyin'?

I sent you signals and bit my nails down to the quick

My face was gray, but you wouldn't admit that we were sick ~

Grabbing everything she needed, she zipped the bag shut. She retraced her steps back down the stairs, her hand on the doorknob. “Where are you going?”

She didn’t know where she was going. She hadn’t planned on leaving not until he gave her a reason and he had tonight. Ignoring him, she headed towards the door.

“If you walk out that door, then we’re done. That’s it.”

“We were done the moment you got out of prison. I can’t do this anymore.” her voice broke ever so slightly.

“You can’t do this anymore?” he laughed except there wasn’t anything funny about it. “What about me, Michelle? I can’t do this anymore.”

~ And the air is thick with loss and indecision

I know my pain is such an imposition

Now, you're runnin' down the hallway

And you know what they all say

You don't know what you got until it's gone ~

“You’re killing yourself, Tony, don’t you get that? I can’t stand around and watch it happen.”

“I’ll stop, I promise. I’ll get help, whatever it takes.” She was fighting back tears. The mood swings were the worst part. One minute he was begging her to stay and the next, he was telling her to leave him alone. It was a constant war with both sides losing.

“Don’t promise me that. Don’t promise me when I know that you’ll end up breaking it.”

“I went to prison for you, Michelle. Fucking prison. I had to make a decision whether to save you or everyone else. And I chose you, I’d choose you a million times over and this is my thanks?” he scoffed. “I think I deserve a little bit of leniency.”

~ Stop, you're losin' me

Stop, you're losin' me

Stop, you're losin' me

I can't find a pulse

My heart won't start anymore

For you

'Cause you're losin' me ~

“You shouldn’t have.” she said quietly. She didn’t need the reminder of why his life was a living hell. She lived it.

“Shouldn’t have what?”

“You shouldn’t have saved me. I would rather be dead than to know that all of this,” she gestured between the two of them, “is my fault.”

“You get to live your perfect life at your perfect job so screw me for having a hard time wondering what could be so bad for you.”

“My perfect life? Perfect job? What makes my life so perfect, Tony? My husband won’t even look at me.”

“I’m looking at you right now, Michelle. You’re making everything about yourself. God forbid that you suffer because I went to prison. Not everything is about you.” That pierced her right through the heart. He continued, “what do you want me to do? Get on my knees and beg for forgiveness?”

“I want you to care. I want you to want to get better. You’re looking at me, but are you listening?”

“Dammit, what the hell do you want?” There were a few beats of silence. “Just go,” he said finally.

So she did without another word. Closing the garage door behind her, she leaned back against it, her tears now streaming freely. What she didn’t know is that he stood on the other side, his head against the door. Both of them in their own hell with no end in sight.

He heard her sobs through the wooden frame and as much as it tore him up that he was the cause of her pain, he knew she’d be better off without him.

~ How long could we be a sad song

Til we were too far gone to bring back to life?

I gave you all my best me's, my endless empathy

And all I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier

Fighting in only your army

Frontlines, don't you ignore me I'm the best thing at this party ~

But all she wanted was him.

He debated on whether to open the door. Were they too far gone? Fuck, he murmured to himself.  He had been an asshole, he wasn’t willing to lose her so he opened the door.

But she was already gone. Her perfume still lingered in the air, the only trace that she was ever there.

~ And I wouldn't marry me either

A pathological people pleaser

Who only wanted you to see her

And I'm fadin', thinkin'

"Do something, babe, say something"

"Lose something, babe, risk something"  

"Choose something, babe, I got nothing

To believe

Unless you're choosin' me" ~

He lost her. She warned him, giving him so many signs and he didn’t see it until it was too late.

~ You're losin' me

Stop, you're losin' me

Stop, you're losin' me

I can't find a pulse

My heart won't start anymore ~

beckory comic based off of this line from GGY. i hope you get what im trying to say lol. i was kinda going for tony and gregory trying to NOT be popular for obvious reasons. just like a new way of seeing the line from the book even though this is not what the book meant.

(book snippet under cut)

#i don’t think some of the descriptions work but like. gregory being ‘funny looking’ #i think makes sense because everybody in the fandom always comments on his appearance #like how short he is etc #and how he looks TOO young than what his age should be #so why would ppl in their universe not think the same #yknow #also i do think tony watching people and analyzing them would count to someone else as a strange habit lmao #drawing tag #gregory fnaf #ggy #fnaf gregory #tony becker #beckory #gregtony #tony #gregory #yes i kinda half assed it but that’s because i knew if i tried to make it anything better #i wouldn’t finish it lmaooo

Tony: Harley, you remind me of an old college friend I had

Harley: Whats he like?

Tony: I'm not sure what he's like now, we don't talk anymore

Harley: how come?

Tony: many reasons: he was always asking for money, he was a horrible drunk and many other reasons such as him being dead now

Harley: yeah, thats usually a pretty good reason for not talking to somebody

Peter: *enters the room* what is?

Harley: them being dead

Peter: *gasp* that is no excuse! I still talk to my parents and Aunt May and Uncle Ben.

Tony: how?

Peter: ouija board!

Here’s a little doodle dump of Tonis I put together because I love him

#Trigun #Tristamp #Trigun Stampede #Trigun Fanart #Rosa #Tonis #Zazie the Beast #Vash the Stampede #Mishmashed whatever info on him across Tri-canons I could get ahold of with some of my own hcs #So he’s interested in sporting short spiky hair with an undercut like his 98 and Trimax counterparts did because #Tristamp Vash sports short spiky hair with an undercut and he thinks he’s so cool and he wants to be just like him #He asks his mom to buy him a real gun only to be told no like his 98 and Trimax counterparts did but he’s also asking for one #just because he wants to be more helpful to his mom as she’s progressing through her pregnancy and his dad’s no longer #around because he kept being utterly useless around the house up until the day his mom finally kicked his lazy ass out #by bringing in more or much bigger wams he ever could with his net and cage #But his mom still doesn’t want to because she wants to keep him as far away from the violence prevalent across NML especially #at his age as possible seeing as she explicitly told him to scram before going after Vash along with the rest of the town for his bounty #in Tristamp unlike in 98’ and Trimax where even the kids took part in the chase #Not very good at writing dialogue so I thought maybe I could just draw the gist of it instead dunno how I did there but that’s #basically what’s going at the bottom left and upper right corners

Tony, stewing in guilt, seconds from taking refuge in audacity and asking Peter if he wants to fuck:

-----

Pyrite!Peter/WL!Tony Tony: --but it's not appropriate, Petey; I know you love him and he cares about you but that doesn't matter when it comes to stuff like this, okay? It's fine to explore things with kids your own age if you're being safe, but I don't want you to end up hurt when--

Peter, actively acquiring an entirely new flavor of daddy issues every time this sweet supportive smoking hot DILF version of his brother calls him 'Petey':

-----

WL!Peter/YNYD!Tony Peter: So, um… the other me makes you pretty happy, huh…?

Tony: As a clam.

Peter: What… uh, can I ask-- how does he do it? Like, what are the things he can do that…

Tony: …You know you're asking the wrong version of me that question, right?

Peter: I-- I know, but-- if I asked him he'd just blow me off, like, 'just keep being you, baby,' so--

Tony: Maybe that should tell you something, kid.

Peter: …You really don't have any advice?

Tony, sighing: …He'll be happiest when you're happy. Focus on that first, yeah?

Peter: …Yeah, okay.

things that annoy me about fanon portrayal of peter parker #1265

inability to properly portray his superpowers and also skills. guys. guys. why is he getting knocked around by like. 5 run of the mill crooks. guys. why did he break his arm falling a grand total of two stories. guys. how is he actually getting beat up getting hit by sir normal ass man. guys. why is he seriously out of commission for over a week.

just say the only powers you remember are wall crawling and spider sense and go

#peter parker #spider-man #i mean they also remember web swinging but usually thats not written as a power so it doesnt count #like be fr #ppl can right batfam fic where they can clearly hand regular mooks their asses and yet #spidey can never get the same treatment #and i mean. i get even canonically different writers right stuff differently but still #no respect #and yes i know sometimes he does get hurt by regular punches but thats the inferior interpretation #man gets thrown through walls on the regular and you expect me to believe the force of a normal punch would do damage? #wish i could blame this on mcuification but #a) this was prevalent even before #and b) for all of the mcus many faults they did pretty good at showcasing his powers #and yet #we still get absolutely rancid takes #ik this is my own fault for venturing into mcu fics but like. every time i see a fic summary #of oh peter got kidnapped for knowing tony stark. with the people kidnapping him not knowing about Spider-Man #and it being taken seriously #i shrivel up on the inside #or all the oh peter gets bullied/abused fics like. #even excluding that he Would Not stand for that #you expect me to believe hes that fragile?? #the mans been hit by a literal train in multiple continuities and gotten up again

Just re-reading ggy and I completely forgot Tony basically called Gregory’s haircut mid 💀 he’s broke and trans Tony leave him alone 😭

tony will say Gregory's haircut is ugly then call him cute in the same sentence

#yeah tony i bet you heard some girls say that #just like you heard them say that ellis was the tallest most attractive boy in class #i think tony becker the guy obsessed with lifes greatest mysteries and being mature #would have a better chance of thinking most mysterious guy ever strangely intelligent gregory is cute #than some random girls 💀 #he also thought that random girl was cute but like #he was just saving his ass #/j #pandas.txt #pandas asks

i hate the commercialisation of the avengers inside the mcu both bc i find it cringy and meta but also bc it narratively doesn’t make sense.

we spent ten years establishing that the avengers are a contentious presence, civil war was literally about people not trusting them bc of what/who they are and now it’s almost completely erased and everyone loves them now? and don’t even get me started on rogers the musical

the way clint reacts makes it seem like the writers are trying to say it’s in poor taste but it’s less bc it trivialises a literal alien invasion but bc clint misses natasha and it hurts him to see an interpretation of her. not bc people are singing and dancing about an event that got hundreds if not thousands of people killed. the closest american equivalent i can think of is 9/11. people can’t even joke about it without being torn apart and it happened over 20 years ago. the battle of new york happened 10 years ago in the current mcu, the snap happened maybe a year ago, you’re telling me everyone’s chill with a musical about one of the worst days of their lives?

“i can do this all day” being their tagline encapsulates everything i dislike about it. the only people steve said that to were nazis that were immediately killed, tony who would never talk about what happened in siberia and the 2012 version of steve says it to him. no one else would know that phrase and acting like it’s something he crowed from the rooftops is at best a plot hole and at worse, an indictment of how little care the writers are having for the new era of the mcu

#other than the odd thanos was right graffiti the public loves the avengers now #and that spits in the face of over 10 years of established development and world building #even scott writing a book and becoming a celebrity doesnt make sense with his character considering all he wanted was to be a good father #now he wants to be famous and get attention? #to the point of disregarding his daughter? the entire point of his character? #and tony and hulk and presumably the rest of them getting ice cream named after them after civil war? everyone hated you three minutes ago #i already hated professor hulk for killing the hulk then acting like they didnt but him signing things and dabbing during the blip? #why was he being treated like a celebrity? #he and the avengers failed and half the universe died as a result why would people like him after that? #the avengers bringing everyone back shouldve created an ‘it was the least you could do considering you failed the first time’ energy #it should be grudging gratitude not this worship thats happening #which makes the flag smashers even weaker when theyre the only ones not sucking up the avengers ass #of course they hate the new world order theyre villains not getting what they want duh #instead of it being a valid expression #everyone in the world is way too happy and chill with everything when Half Of Everything Was Dead a year ago #it just doesnt follow the careful realistic world building set up over the entire mcu #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #marvelous #talk meta to me #marvel #the avengers #the snap #meta #captain america #rogers the musical #endgame #mcu #phase 4 #phase four
