⧉ ── @fledrmaus : did it hurt ? status ; accepting
for a long time , he was staring at the woman after her useless question . hurt ? hurting ? why is she looking at his cheek like a creepy living doll ? with dead eyes , pale face . vegas almost forgot that he forgot to cover the redness of his flesh up with makeup before coming out to have a cup of tea . his hand instinctively touches the place she was piercing with her gaze , as if to cover it . he left the hideout to have a moment of peace here , away from pete . . . away from him ──── yes . the bastard thinks he can just stick his nose into things . ❛ don't you have any friends ? ❜ their first meeting wasn't as scandalous as this one perhaps . sitting there with dry eyes and red cheek like a scolded child , he prefers screams to this silence . he's stopped yelling at a very young age , accepting things that hurt him and swallowing back any screams of protest . vegas learned how to be quiet but he never learned how to be polite when he had nothing to gain from it . he sips his tea with a mocking snort . ❛ yes it did hurt . i'm sure it excites you . ❜

@fledrmaus said: “ you’ve never had to fight me. ”
He’d wondered when she would try him. As if she genuinely believed he couldn’t put her on the ground on a matter of seconds, gift or no gift. She was still capable of getting lost in her head, liable to not be sure what was true or not. And he’d stopped making conscious decisions in a fight decades ago. “True, but I don’t doubt I could beat you.” She’s an interesting thing. So desperate for entertainment and things to do. She’d probably been eager to fight him for a while. Though she was eager to do so many things. Jasper wonders how she’d react if she never even got a finger on him.
He’d always moved before she could touch him even something as simple as brushing in passing. Even if she would have touched cloth instead of skin. While she hasn’t done anything untrustworthy so far, he’s still being cautious. Better to be safe than lose a limb. Something he’s curious if she even knows is an option for their king. Not a bad distracting tactic. He doesn’t move from his position against a tree, content under the shade. “Why would I ever need to fight you? Unless you’re plotting something.”

❝ i know you don’t wanna see me cry tonight. ❞ she knows, she knows, and she does little to stop it. there’d be no use : this friday night is the same as the last and the same as the next. YOU’RE NOT AN ACTRESS, she hears, and shouts back BULLSHIT! you should see what kind of production i can whip up after a bottle of vodka and three ghosted texts. she’s a one - woman show of sobs, an endless audition. asmedea didn’t buy the ticket as much as have it limply shoved into her palm, lipstick - smeared paper and all. mara stares herself down in a bathroom mirror cleaner than she deserves and dabs at the mascara stain of her skin ( carefully, carefully : the stage make - up can never be sacrificed. ). ❝ but you’re gonna have to get over it — shit happens. ❞

🍒 MEEEEEEE 💥🥰
send me 🍒 + a url and i will write some positivity for them.
every time i see a notification from you, i grab my holy water gun and aim it at my screen lest it combusts into flames upon opening the chat with you.
no but in all seriousness, i'm so glad that i met you. i knew about your blog way before we actually started talking and i thought, "this is someone i can see myself being friends with and having a lot of fun not just plotting and writing but simply talking" and somehow that turned out to be true !!
i feel like i can talk about everything and anything with you because we are of the same mind and i know that you'll be supportive and understanding. i could hit you with any ideas that i have and you would instantly join in and make it fun and new and fresh every time. lbr we mostly talk about your sirius so i'll focus on him because i really want to say this but he is such a powerhouse that it's impossible not to love him. the way that you write him, he feels so alive and like a perpetual source of good energy and vibes and i think you do something that i still struggle with sometimes which is you make sirius sound SMART. and i don't mean just intelligent. he does sound clever and well-read but on top of that the way that class and poise just ooze out of him so effortlessly is just MUAH *chef's kiss* i love how you are able to do that and then seamlessly implement it into pretty much everything he does. he constantly keeps me and my muses on our toes and i feel like i could never get bored of our plotting and development because every single thing that we do is uncharted territory that you're not afraid to take us into and explore.
you love him so much and although, like i said, we only talk about him, i just know that you put just as much love and passion and effort into your other muses.

┌─── STARTER for @fledrmaus || B E L L A
BELLA HASN’T LEFT THE CULLEN RESIDENCE IN A WEEK -------- she’s a bit scared they’re all going to disappear again if she goes home. the bed set up in alice’s bedroom has been her sanctuary , granting her a place to stubbornly try & stay awake. a losing battle , given that jasper’s able to sweep her up in an unending haze of sleepiness she can’t shake. she’s begged alice to stay with her , desperate for her best friend to be there to remind her they’re not going anywhere.
it’s midnight & she’s currently curled up against alice’s side , her head resting on her chest as she stares blankly into the dark. it would be nice to say that her mental health has been back to normal with the coven back in town ------ but she’d be lying. the trauma imposed by james & then the abandonment of the people she’d come to consider family has left a nasty scar on her. NIGHTMARES STILL PLAGUE HER. bones breaking & hearts shattering & months alone , asking why she wasn’t wanted by them or even her mother ... it makes her scared to sleep , even with the girl’s cool frame against her. ❛ ------- SORRY. i really am trying to be tired. ❜ jasper hasn’t been called in on her yet , so for now she’s just trying to focus on her breathing as she lay there.

𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐍 : @fledrmaus : i knew you’d feel guilty; you do understand that i’d take a thousand wounds if it meant keeping you safe, don’t you?
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐃𝐎 𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐋 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐓 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒. he’s young , he knows not what he says -- knows not how much it hurts to hear . eragon is brave , foolhardy with it -- knows his dragon and his own skillset , but his thick skull will be the death of them all , she’s certain of it . ayra would give nearly anything for him to take those words back , for him to have different feelings than the ones he feels for and shares with her -- but she has so little left to give that is still hers alone , and as infuriating as it is she does understand that eragon’s mind and feelings are his own ( if she could not understand that , she would fear that she was lost to the mindset of those she’s sworn to help destroy ) .
𝐀 𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐈𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐕𝐎𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐑, 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐍 𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐎𝐎 𝐑𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐃 𝐔𝐏 𝐓𝐎 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐂𝐇 𝐀 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆. “ i am capable of defending myself , ” she begins , reminds . arya has always prided herself on being capable -- her capture and eragon’s rescue nonwithstanding . she’d been able to fight before eragon was ever alive , and though the boy’s skill grows in leaps and bounds towards the heights of the argetlam of legend . “ and though i . . . understand that you have a desire to shield , i would not have you throw yourself into danger for my sake . ” the stakes of his decisions , of his possible failure or loss is too high to be swayed by any threat of injury to her -- surely he should see that by now .
𝐈𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐀 𝐃𝐈𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐓 𝐓𝐀𝐒𝐊, 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐇𝐈𝐌 𝐅𝐔𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑. it plays across her face how much she wishes to , she’s certain , but she knows that what she’s already said will be enough to upset him , and there’s no good that will come from more chastisement or disagreement . . . and besides , saphira most certainly has quite a lot to say to him about the situation as well . she rises to her feet , stiffly and awkwardly , though her fingers brush the air near his uninjured shoulder . “ i will go and make sure that preparations are made to assist in your healing . rest . ”

The topic of her sister in law was a complicated matter. Even now that Marian had all the answers to her questions that had been asked when Selena had first showed up at their door, wide eyed and frightened. Breathed not a word of where she had been all this time. She had given Eragon to them and then left never to be heard from again. Now she knew why. An impossible position she had been in.
She was also informed she had another nephew, Selena first son, Murtagh. Eragon had told her his story, and her heart ached for him. A boy who had no one, corned into a position where he could trust only himself. Used by those he should be able to trust. To her his actions made sense. She was however somewhat surprised when her invitation for a meeting was accepted. Any protest from her son and nephew about it was quickly put out. Selena had made Marian promise to care for Eragon, sure was sure Selena would have the same promise be extended to her eldest.
“Well don’t just lurk in the shadows, come here let me get a proper look at you.”

@fledrmaus, meme, —— " the wolf in you demands blood. "
FOR HE WHO IS EQUALLY BLESSED AND CURSED BY THE GODS SHALL BREAK FREE FROM HIS CHAINS TO DEVOUR EVERYTHING HE RUNS INTO. Boredom sours Ivar’s mood upon returning home. Kattegat lost most of their infamous Shieldmaidens, Vikingr & Drengr, no longer a seat for the Sons of Ragnar. ( The people of Kattegat regard him with suspicion for his past failings. He can not blame them——— HE’S A CONQUERER, not a king or any kind of ruler. ) He smiles, whether to show teeth, his canines sharp, or to answer with amusement, that is yet to be decided. Narrowing his eyes he closely surveys Brynja, who’s giving voice to what he’s been musing about for days already. IVAR IS NOT MADE TO IDLE AND FALL BACK INTO A COMFORTABLE LIFE. ❝ I wonder——— ❞ What do the people of Kattegat accomplish these days ? They trade. They play games. They fight each other over few coins. They betray the true path of a Vikingr upon losing their armring. The most precious jewelry any Vikingr owns. THAT IS ALL HE’S BEEN OBSERVING LATELY. ❝ I have unfinished business with the King of Kings. The Saxons. I want to strengthen our garrison at York. I want to raid these ripe lands. But these people. . . they are a shadow of the true Vikingr and Shieldmaidens who used to fight for Kattegat. They have become lazy and far too comfortable. What value do they have to me ? ❞ He scoffs. Rolling his eyes as he sighs theatrically. ❝ I’ll guess I have to provoke and grip them by their honor. ❞

she had recently learned who was behind the beard, the darker eyes. but she hadn’t come clean then. unsure of how he’d react. what it would mean if she stopped being mila jandersdat, but became nina zenik again. afraid what would become of them, if she’d lose him again. even if what they had now wasn’t the truth, the feelings she had were still real. very real. but now he was hurt, lying in bed, wounded and hurt. placing her hand on his chest. mind whispering: once upon a time, i could’ve healed you.
breath is slow, then he speaks. my wife wouldn’t like you doing this. his wife. she had never married him, but she knows it’s nina zenik he speaks of. herself. ❛ your wife, it’s funny. you never told me you were married before. ❜ voice is soft as she speaks, hand moving to brush away some of his wild hair. fingertips stained with his blood. it didn’t scare her. she’d make sure he wouldn’t fade away. ❛ there’s something i have to tell you, murtagh. ❜ using his real name, something he had never told mila. / @fledrmaus .

@fledrmaus said : “oh my god, stop looking at me like that! i’m gonna end up kissing you.” / idiots to lovers ( accepting ! )
❛ you - ❜ he couldn’t have heard that right. and if he did, it was the reason for the singular step backwards and the way his features pulled into a look of stupefaction. his gaze was fleeting this way and that as though sirius’s expression was a piece of parchment to be read and his own bewilderment would be demystified by what he might find in the flames of fire nestled in friend’s eyes, the turn of his lips, the intonation with which he uttered those words. unfortunately for the werewolf, sirius bIack was an antique tome whose parchment pages were in such a state of degradation, its language and secrets would forever remain an enigma. he took a deep breath to steel himself.
❛ i am mad at you. don’t think that you can just - you won’t distract me with - what ?! ❜

🎵 + sirius ._. im ready to be hurt again. but don't say twin sized mattress bc We Already Know </3
* 🎵 FOR A SONG TO FIT OUR MUSES + DYNAMIC.
bad blood, radical face
[ . . . ] i was somewhere in between
a thorn an acquiescent
so you said it was for me
when you tried to break me
well you can save your breath,
i know, i’m not the kind you pray for
took a river of bad blood
but now i see where we came from
can't grow a proper branch when half the trunk is rotten
and you swore that it hurt you
but pushing your night through
well you can save your breath,
i know, we're not the kind you'll pray for
