Never has a kiss hurt me so good
I cannot do the absolute Agony of this scene from Book 3 justice. The desperation of their kiss. The way they both knew it was a bad idea and that they just…. Needed it regardless. The absolute, earth-shattering terror A feels because, despite everything they’ve done, this human has gotten in past their endless walls and it’s ripping their world apart - because they’ve lost everything before and honestly don’t know how they’re going to survive losing them.
Jesus Fuck I have so many feelings about this. So many and I sobbed and cried and just…. omg you fucked me up Bk 3! Characters belong to @seraphinitegames

Happy Valentine’s Day, lovely person 🌹
I always love reading your thoughts on UB, they are so well-thought out and insightful, and your writing is simply lovely. Above all, you’re a wonderful and sweet and uplifting presence in this fandom! 
Here’s a romance-themed OC question for any OC(s) of your choosing (no pressure to answer on Valentine’s day itself, or at all):
What combination of random objects would your OC use to describe their LI? What do they represent? Bonus question: What would their LI use to describe them?
Hello my friend! What a lovely and sweet message, and thank you for such nice compliments - you all make it so much fun to be here in this space. I hope you are having a lovely day filled with just that, love and happiness 💕
I’m going to answer for Nate x Suri, Adam x Layla
Nate.
Anyone, really, can memorize the layout of a room, following an order to create a space to give the detective some semblance of home, a safe place in this world which is so new to them. An alternative reality which may be more real to any they’ve known before.
An armchair here, a vanity there, the right headboard to fit against the bed frame. It’d been a rewarding challenge to find a replica of the wallpaper, or rather wall stickers in the shape of large and fully bloomed peonies.
When he sees her now, in this room as an overnight guest - not a guest, he hopes she finds this to be a home, a secondary home - the crystal vases aren’t just filled with pre-designed bouquets but rather sweet roses or dramatic lilies, fully opened tulips when he can manage to find them.
She turns and the lingering fog of centuries of needing and wanting another lifts, her smile - dark and satin and deep, more purple than red, lipstick that will eventually smudge onto his mouth or the tip marker she uses for that board in her office as she mulls over the latest mission or case - it is radiant. She is radiance.
Surina leaves that fray edged, well read book of poetry on the vanity - consulted the previous night for a sonnet she’d recited against the heating skin of his neck. She sets down the perfume bottle - white jasmine an aura - and attaches the tennis bracelet around her wrist. Her first purchase, her first indulgence for herself, a rainbow of diamonds.
The familiar click of her heels is quieted by the plush carpet, sleek black and red bottomed, another indulgence. Nate and Adam had looked, in awe but really worry and confusion, her running over sidewalk and cobble stone and even through thick forest grasses, light and agile, balanced on the three inch high stilettos keeping her upright. Adam had called it impractical, Nate had commended the skill, and Surina stated that it was simply a return on investment.
He reaches for her when she nears, her hand further from him holding a worn silver and teal blue keychain, he will ask her the significance and she will tell him. But now, she takes his hand, and leads him out into the hallway. They have a date.
Adam.
Since becoming an Agent, the usually well planned, down to a quarter of an hour well planned, Layla had mentioned a few gaps in her daily planner schedules.
And though he’d been quite serious in his response. Adam was still quite surprised when she’d agreed to train with him. After all, she knows where her deficiencies lie and needed to learn how to strengthen them. Where Adam thought she could and would do better, well that would keep her schedule full for the foreseeable future.
Waiting, arms folded at his chest, trying to keep his attention out the window for any sort of emergency or surprise threat, his gaze betrays him by taking note of what she’s placing in her cross-body satchel. No, not a betrayal, he really should be taking stock of how she prepares. To use for future missions.
An extra pair of glasses. Good. He’d recalled her frustration with their last ambush by trappers, the twist of the frame. Also remembers the deep blue of her eyes, dark and sparkling even in a moment of frustration while he righted the metal.
He clears his throat. She tells him she needs a moment longer.
Back at the window, he sees the reflected image of her, a tie, one of the many hair ties that seem to hide in every cushion and surface, around her fingers. Quick fingers work through the soft curls of her dark hair, plaiting and braiding before securing. Smart. Out of the way. Clear sight.
Adam rubs his hands together, stepping closer to her, they’ll be training in the forest again. Quiet. Soundless.
Snap!
He groans, knowing that Layla has just stuck a piece of that insidious gum between her teeth and started to chew. How many times has he reminded her of a choking hazard?
Adam looks to her, eyes sharp, and she shrugs. Promises to spit it out before they start, and says - for the hundredth time since he’s met her - that tooth care is important, and she has dentist-sanctioned bubble gum. He should fact check.
She picks up her denim jacket, her signature he thinks, and slides it over her shoulders and over her arms. Today, he’ll tell her to keep the stiff materialed - actually, quite pleasantly worn - garment on today. Even for someone as well prepared as her, one cannot always dress appropriately for a fight.

Detective Langford and Agent Adam du Mortain
My detective, Amy Langford, and Adam du Mortain romance moodboard.
Amy is a people driven, science and combat focused detective. She's extremely empathetic, something Adam can learn from and at the same time reign her in when she gives away too much of herself to others.

Some sketch practice /WIPS I've had for ages. Have to start somewhere, right. Maybe posting will prompt me to keep going.

@agentnatesewell and I were talking about how Silver Springs is such an Adam x Charlie song and she asked if I had a playlist for them. I didn’t, but I started putting one together.

Pairing Adam du Mortain with a smartass flirt of a detective who speaks fluent French due to his father’s French heritage and is despicably pretty is probably the kind of egregious cruelty banned in the Geneva Convention but here I am, doing that to him. And enjoying it.

@gaiuskamilah beloved tagged me for the following: what songs are your otps listening to this Valentines Day, and why (can be any song for any reason, does not have to be romantic - just what they’re listening to and why)
This is what my detectives/mcs and their lis are doing for Valentines Day this year and a song for the evening! Post book three and assuming deeper relationship
If you’d like to do this, please do and please tag me!
Nate x Suri (Nuri)
A date in the city. Dinner at an incredibly exclusive, ten tables total, reservation only restaurant (had to book one year out) with dim lighting and a hired string quartet. A walk through the park, hand in hand. A night at a very fancy hotel where she gifts him herself in very pretty lingerie that she asks him to take off slowly. Then the do-not-disturb sign on the door and all messages and phone calls are muted. Breakfast is late the next morning, and she’d already arranged a late check out
Adam x Layla
In a true testament to Adam trying to be more … open minded to current tastes and appreciate what she loves, he agrees to go to dinner and a show at the Medieval Times restaurant. But she doesn’t make him go, because she doesn’t think it’d be fair to subject him to a cornish game hen and a glass of soda. The song of the knights and people cheering on a dragon. He insists, it’s alright.
Instead, she offers him his car keys and a list of driving directions. They drive out to the park on the outskirts of town, and she invites him for a twilight run - the path is well lit and she has a vampire and her pepper spray to protect her. It’s a lot of fun. She’s learning to enjoy jogging and train, especially with him.
They watch A Knights Tale when they return home.
Felix x Penny
They have a roller skating party! Sparkly coordinating outfits, knee pads, and even some neon. They hold hands during a couples skate and she watches Felix speed skate around the rink, he’s so fast he’s a blur! Penny attempts a twirl and luckily, he is there to catch her.
The playlist for the night has them dancing and skating until close, and there might even be a group sing along with everyone else at the rink.
Dinah x Mason
Their Valentines Day is actually pretty quiet, pretty low key. Dinah does meet Nate earlier in the day for a raspberry mocha latte, a special at Haley’s (he drinks earl grey and they share a plate of heart shaped linzer cookies)
With Mason, she predicted they would stay on the roof, as they usually do. But he’d heard enough from the others (Nate and Felix), and figures he should do something special-ish. Thing is, Dinah doesn’t really want to do anything special, and sitting on the ledge of the roof and watching the lights of Wayhaven while she rolls her eyes at him, well that’s pretty nice.
Eventually, they’ll bump into each other, they kiss and then it all fades to black in the serene quiet of the February night.
