“May I hold you?” you ask Jing Yuan one afternoon as you lie sun-warmed in his garden. 
You almost think he is asleep until he invites, “Please,” carrying a smile in his voice. 
With ginger movements, you reach over and place your hands on either side of his face. It begins as mere holding, but soon you find your touch roaming. You smooth your fingers over his eyebrows and trace down to each side of his jaw. From here your hands climb up again, and once more back down, mapping out each crevice and dip of his face, his skin, his bone, until you are certain there is no part of him remaining that you do not know better than you know yourself.
You play this game with yourself, sometimes. You imagine people not as people, but as planets. After all, what is a person anyway, if not a world of their own? You trace the ridge of his nose, and imagine there lies a mountain range. Around his eyes you find oceans. Where his cheeks dip, there are valleys, and a river runs between his lips.
“What are you doing?” Jing Yuan asks. There is an element of amusement to his question, but his voice is primarily gentle. Endeared.
You still your hands. They rest on his cheeks while your thumbs brush back and forth over his skin, holding him. Though the world melts back into the familiar shapes of his face, there is still an assured sturdiness to his features which is grounding; a gravity which draws you towards him, as if you were the moon to his planet. Small, perhaps, and bare, but casting light on him wherever you can.
You answer, “I think I’m holding the world in my hands.”
You feel Jing Yuan’s smile through the way his cheeks press into your palms. Two hands cover yours, large and calloused, but gentle, and hold yours securely in place against his face. There is the tender press of lips to your skin as he turns his head enough to kiss the inside of your palm.
You hear Jing Yuan’s smile through the way his words come warm and bright and filled with adoration. You wonder why you thought him a planet, when he is so clearly the sun.
“And I am being held by the universe.”

The need that I have for early morning, tender sex with Dbf!bucky that gets a little frantic and really passionate 😵‍💫
Especially if you tend to drift apart in your sleep. It feels so much nicer to curl up against him again the next morning, stealing some of his heat and enjoying the way that he smells so familiar to you now.
You can't help but feel a softness in your chest when he sleepily pulls you closer, placing a gentle kiss on the top of your head with his eyes still closed. If nothing else, you feel incredibly safe with your bare chest pressed to his and your limbs tangled together comfortably.
The sunlight has just managed to creep through a gap in between the curtains, illuminating the few grey hairs peppered across your partner's hairline and you swear he's never looked more beautiful.
He's more awake than he'd lead you to believe though. His eyes are barely even open before he's tilting your chin up, making it easier to capture your lips with his.
"Good morning." He mumbles in his deep morning voice when his lips part from yours.
"Hi." You can't help but smile, wiggling your body against the bulge in his underwear. "It's a great morning."
He can't help but roll his eyes at your enthusiasm.
"Didn't I take good enough care of you last night? You still want more." He pretends he's insulted but secretly, he's pretty damn pleased. You want him; plain and simple. You don't dress it up or play it off. Don't we all want to be wanted?
"See, that's the problem. You were too good to me last night. And now. I'm all worked up." You slip kisses to his neck and shoulders in between your sentences, hoping that it really drives your point home.
"You're a handful." Bucky teases, tilting your chin up once more, letting his lips collide with yours before allowing his tongue to do the same. It feels like his hands are all over your body at once, teasing and rubbing and gripping you, getting you even more worked up.
It's not long before he's got your leg hooked up over him and he's slipping his cock into you. The glide is that much easier given that he finished inside you just a few hours ago and the thought of that alone makes you even wetter.
Bucky's low groan as he slides into you is addictive. He's clearly still sensitive but it feels too good for either of you to stop now.
"Such a good girl. You take me so damn well." He's babbling already, eyes rolling back as he presses as deep inside you as possible, giving you a chance to take a breath before he starts to work your body in a way that no one else has ever managed.

Idk i cant help but think about the moment before falling asleep with Levi. Just two of us, silent, in our dark bedroom.
The moments before you drift into slumber, the calm you feel with Levi by your side. After years of being together, you now found the perfect position to end your day with each other. You no longer attach to each other like in the beginning of your relationship.
You both sleep on your backs, side by side. You no longer tangle yourselves like new lovers where being together was more important than quality sleep. Instead, now you sleep slightly lower than Levi just to rest your cheek on his shoulder. Levi has one leg over yours.
Levi never forgets to kiss your head before sleep claims him. Now you are officially in your old couple era :)
Oh, and Levi needs to have the little plushie that you got for him by his other side. And he would pat its head every night before bed too :) he knew one day he would have to lose the fight with your daughter when she's old enough to realise the plushie is cute (when you have a daughter) (he will make sure you have at least 1 little girl ;))

read a post about there being next to no record abt the historic edward little again (we dont even know what he looked like!!!) and now im thinking a lot about how he died in uniform again.
hes far from the only character to die in uniform (the marines die in uniform! franklin dies in uniform!) and he isn't even the only lieutenant to do so (gore, under his slops, was in uniform; fairholme, too presumably; irving famously wore his coat that hickey steals later; george wore something that used to be his uniform when he got eaten but imo atp he did not wear it as A Uniform anymore that were just the clothes that he had on if that makes sense) but at the end, he is the only one where i still felt that it was an active choice to wear it.
almost everyone else sheds their layers along the way or turns into something else, but ned starts in uniform and he stays in uniform and that's it.
fitzjames famously sheds his vanity and dies in his shirtsleeves, without any of the pomp and pizzazz of his uniform.
jopson, another character who is to me really connected with a certain mindset of holding up appearances, dies in his shirtsleeves, believing himself abandoned by the very person that was his reason to even wear a uniform at all.
goodsir as a doctor/assistant surgeon doesn't really have a uniform in quite the same sense as many others but when he dresses himself before his suicide it is not as an affirmation of his role, or at least not a positive one. he has sworn to do no harm, but he was forced to do it anyway and now he will add a final evil to his toll of sins in the hopes to balance the scales at least somewhat and for that to work, he must wear his outfit as always. he ends up with all pretenses stripped bare anyway.
tozer, a man so proud of his uniform in the beginning, again, dies in his shirtsleeves, no rank left, betrayed by someone who had convinced him to give up everything and yet! reduced to nothing but an ordinary man, he tries again where before he had given up. he cooperates, he coordinates, he even calls crozier captain again, he tries very hard to do the right thing in what looks like a no win scenario from the get go!! and he fails, of course, but he tried.
almost everyone else also ends up either dressed down (bridgens, armitage, dundy, des voeux etc) or somehow transformed (blanky, to some extend silna with her patched and bloody furs) or in hickeys case, both (iconic underwear & greatcoat combo). little never changes. he sometimes has a little scarf, theres the bandage for his headwound for a bit, he sometimes wears the full parade uniform with epaulettes and sometimes just the regular one, there are at least two different uniform hats and ofc you can tell that he loses weight by the way his shape chages under all that wool but he is always. in. uniform.
and maybe this is just my mind making up dots to connect but i think he might even be the last character that crozier ever gives an order to in his official function as a captain (in the tuunbaq seduction/boss fight scene he has been stripped of his rank, at least according to e.c.).
before his final scene, all we get is little arguing over the orders they are given, and how to interpret them. and he is still wearing his uniform!!! wait hold on im not gonna check but maybe he might only wear a jumper in the tent where dundy lauches his soft mutiny actually, so maybe this whole post is crumbling like a domino line but!!! ignoring this. moving on. (even if it is a jumper i remember him wearing sth dark blue aka Uniform Colour so im claiming it doesnt even matter bc spiritually that hypothetical jumper still is a uniform. im not going to let anything like "accuracy" and "real details" fuck up my post smh 🙄. im joking. however! Moving On as i said)
he doesnt even dress up for carnivale! the only other characters that are not in costume are jopson and crozier and they were literally too busy keeping crozier from dying to even begin thinking about joining the communal arts and crafts session! little is atp the acting no2 of the expedition so u might say he was busy but fitzjames has the overall command and still finds time to have a little gender moment in private and the imperialism-approved version of it for the Big Crowd!! (u could ofc argue that fitzy Always has time for a gender moment and who would i be to argue but my point is: i have no doubt that man was fucking busy preparing carnivale & beginning to prepare the walkout and there still was time to Express Some Character!! so how come ned didn't do anything?)
the one other scene we get where we can catch a small glimpse of characters out of their element before it all unravels (pre tuunbaq attack on the camp) is the scene at night when morfin gets shot. it shows lots of characters in various states of undress (silna big blanket burrito i love you) that allows us to see them differently, like their costumes at carnivale did, but in an entirely opposite direction. while carnivale was about putting on masks, this scene is about taking them off. and it drives me insane because i know that little must be there. he is somewhere in the crowd when morfin gets shot but so far i havent been able to make him out and i need to know what he is wearing so bad. it is actually for science (my own curiosity) ! i really need to know. and i cant help but feel that maybe it is intentional that he is just ~somewhere~ instead of In Front of the Fucking Camera because, well. that would be just ned little, wouldnt it? and we dont even know who that is.

Lord I just want to melt in Levi's arms. I want him to pat my head. His palm strong but gentle on my head, moving left and right as he ruffles my hair. The way he would caress from the top to the back of my back, landing on my neck before hooking his arm on my shoulder.
He would pull me in as I crash into his shoulder. I would let go of a breath I didn't know I want holding, sinking myself into his embrace.
Idly, Levi would pat my back, humming whatever song that came to his mind. And I would be in his arms, melted, safe and loved.
Things are going to be okay.

Sometimes I just think about how Chaol had never even killed anyone before the competition, yet had trained his while life and trained others to do so. And how Dorian had never been raised to even consider the possibility of ending anyone else’s life, choosing to surround himself with books and life (much to his fathers dismay,) yet growing up to be someone who wouldn’t give it a second thought if anyone were to harm those he loves.
There’s something so heart wrenching to me how Chaol was the one who was meant to protect Dorian, but it ended up being the reverse. That was really all Chaol ever wanted. He devoted his life to protecting him at all costs and yet despite that, he had never taken another life until it was absolutely necessary, and even then it wasn’t easy for him. And then think about Dorian. Dorian who grew up learning stuffy court politics rather than war and bloodshed, standing up and protecting Chaol with his life. Without hesitation. Sacrificing himself and his freedom so that Chaol might have a chance to live.
It’s the complete 360 of their characters after QOS. Chaol was always meant to be the warrior, the protector yet he ended up being the most sympathetic and kind hearted leader. He ties his life to a healer he falls in love with. Dorian on the other hand, was always meant to be protected. And not just by Chaol, but by literally everyone. As seen with Aelin willing to sacrifice herself even though he just as easily could. And yet despite all that, and despite being coddled his whole life, he turned out to be one of the most daring, the most selfless characters we see. Dorian going from the crown prince who would never be seen hurting a fly to the “You once asked me where I stand on the line between killing to protect and killing for pleasure … I’ll stand on the other side of that line when I find your grandmother” and the “It is not such a hard thing, is it—to die for your friends.” King we see emerge from the rubble of his shattered home.
Chaol came out of the shattered glass castle as a broken, deeply scarred man, who found his healing in himself. Dorian came out of the glass castle as someone who was already piecing himself back together, into someone new. They both grow and heal and change, but it’s just so interesting, the vastly different paths they took. And how similar Chaol’s journey was to how we expected Dorian’s to be, and vice versa.
The protector, becoming the protectee. Such a hard hitting trope.
