❝ there’s a whole lot you’re not telling me. ❞

THAT EARNS HIM A LAUGH ——one so loud it almost startles max. and she doesn’t mean to laugh at him, not really, it’s just such a ridiculous thing to come out of his mouth. she’d be willing to bet that the amount of truth she actually knows about nikolas petran could barely fit into a thimble, but here he is questioning the things she’s been withholding from him.
❝ is that where we’re at now ? ❞ a hum of contemplation, and she’s giving him a coy look — like maybe this is just a tease between the two of them, one of those things that’ll either turn into more laughter or something else that would take her breath away.
max shakes her head like she can clear it of thoughts like that. ❝ are we becoming people who tell each other things ? ❞ and maybe there’s something bitter about the edge to her tone — maybe despite every warning she’d ever received about getting tangled up with this man, she’d fallen into it too easily. it doesn’t mean she’d ever expect him to be the confiding type — and so, why should she?
❝ i bet there’s loads of stuff you haven’t told me. ❞ one brow arches up as if to challenge him to disagree. he won’t, she knows — not just because of his reputation, but because everyone has some secrets, or even little insignificant details they don’t share. still, there’s a bit of mischief at play, here, and max is feeling like riding the wave of it. ❝ i’ll trade you — ❞ and maybe the idea is stupid, childish, the kind of thing in which teenagers at parties indulge as an excuse to drink too much and make too many mistakes. but then, if she’s already made the mistakes, what’s wrong with playing the games after the fact? ❝ — secret for a secret ? ❞

"Well, ain't you a piece of work," Negan chuckled, his gravelly voice laced with a mixture of amusement and something else he doesn't quite got a name for. Admiration, maybe. "You've got that fire in your eyes, pup."
"You're right, I do care about the mark I'm gonna leave, but not because I'm lookin' to be some kind of hero or even want a legacy. I wanna be remembered 'cause I kept mine alive, even if it meant makin' some tough choices that many don't agree with. People don't complain when you do all the heavy liftin' I learned. Nothing really matters after we die, after all."
Negan's gaze darkened some as he sighed, "You see, Taehwan, it's not about standin' on top or claimin' rights you ain't got business fightin' for. It's about adaptin', survivin', and protectin' the people you care about. And if that means breakin' a few eggs along the way, well, that's the world we're in now."
Negan straightened up, his expression shifting from amusement to a more serious tone. "Don't mistake my willingness to do whatever it takes for anything other than it is. I've seen things you wouldn't believe, and I've done things that'd make your head spin. If you wanna make it in this world, you better start learnin' how to make those tough calls too, 'cause trust me, they're gonna keep comin'."

vasilissa rolled her shoulders back, aching from use and a few too many nights sleeping unlavishly on stone, grass and first army cots. she wasn't sure where any of them stood any more. they'd been beaten back and beaten back again until they'd been forced into fjerda, out of ravka entirely. out of their homes and into enemy territory. what kind of justice for grisha was that?
she stood, dusting off her hands on her thighs. "if we sit around, someone is bound to come looking for us. best not to be here when they do." they needed to talk strategy, survival tactics and probably get some food as well. energy expended made her feel alive, but the hunger was kicking in. "let's walk and talk, find an inn maybe where we can get something to eat." there had to be some town around here in this emptiness.

This is by far my longest piece of 2023! The piece is inspired by the famous painting "The Garden of Eartly Delights" by Hieronymus Bosch.
It begins with the exterior which depicts the third day of creation in the Bible. When opened, the piece follows the panels from left to right.
The first panel takes place in paradise, where God presents Eve to Adam in a pristine landscape, meanwhile some weird-looking creatures roam the land.
On the second panel, the Fall of man has taken place, and all the people take part in lustfull activities with each other and animals, both natural and mythological.
The third panel - The Hell - is the result of humanity´s sinful behaviour. The city is burning, the river is frozen and naked souls are tortured by grotesque demons.

hello!! i love you all so much (platonic) and appreciate the work you do. do you have any recs where one/both of the ineffable husbands/wives is getting out of a relationship and goes to the other for comfort and maybe realizes they've been in love with them the whole time? thanks so much <333333
Here are some break-up friends-to-lovers fics for you...
I'm All Yours by FeralTuxedo (E)
Anthony J. Crowley knew he looked like a walking mid-life crisis. The tight jeans, half-up bun and sunglasses positively screamed ‘I left my wife for the babysitter and bought a vintage car just to feel alive again.’ In an adaptation of his life, he’d be played by Hugh Grant. He looked like a divorcee desperate for action, and it didn’t help that he was currently standing outside a nightclub surrounded by drunk twenty-year-olds. But Crowley wasn’t here for a good time tonight. He was on a rescue mission.
Crowley has been rescuing his friend Aziraphale over and over again for a decade. Hopelessly in love, ready to jump at a moment’s notice when he was needed. When Aziraphale finally breaks up with his partner, Crowley is there to help him through what’s looking to be one hell of a mid-life crisis. Things could finally change. If he manages not to mess it up again.
A human AU with a whole forest’s worth of pining squeezed into a single day.
…And They Were Roommates by Mimsynims (E)
“You know… I just remembered that Richard and I were going away for a few days next month.” Something devious came over him. “Richard paid for it, but the booking is in my name.”
Crowley quickly caught on to what he was getting at. “Ooh, I see. That’s convenient.” He grinned. “For us."
When Aziraphale's boyfriend Richard (Dick) breaks up with him, he and his roommate Crowley hijacks an intended couples' vacation and uses it for themselves.
Lines that had started to blur even before their trip gets even more blurry - which perhaps isn't the best thing when both are hiding a crush on the other (and communication isn't their strong suit).
Ezra at the Wedding by tenandi (E)
Ezra's ex is moving on but he's determined to stop the wedding. With his handsome neighbor masquerading as his new love interest, will he win back his true love and rewrite the happy ending he deserves?
-
Crowley was leaning against the doorframe, obviously hungover and running on about two hours of sleep. A ripped t-shirt hung off one shoulder over a pair of boxers with devil ducks printed all over them. To top it all off, he was wearing black velvet slippers embroidered with his monogram. In any other instance, Ezra would have laughed but he was too busy being wrapped up in his anguish.
“What do you want, Crowley?” Ezra fumed. “I am having a moment here!”
You are HoMe (Half of Me) by angelsnuffbox (T)
Aziraphale had gotten dumped, plain and simple. But that small detail wasn’t nearly as important as all the things that happened after he’d gotten dumped - such as coming to a few realisations about his best friend of sixteen years.
Hooped Earrings by OfEden (E)
After 29 years Azira comes out. While her family and ex boyfriend don't support her, her life long best friend is there by her side every step of the way.
Crawling Back To You by madrabbitwrites (NR)
College-age Aziraphale pushed his closest friend away and moved out of town with his married Literature professor in a panicked attempt at escaping his family’s rampant homophobia. Years later, devastated by a dreadful break-up, he’s returned to his small hometown to live with his brother and attempt to heal his broken heart (and broken life, if he were being honest with himself). What he didn’t count on was his old friend Crawley- now calling himself Crowley and looking dashing as ever- to have returned as well.
Crawley’s wounds from their last argument are deep and Aziraphale may never be able to regain what they once had, but he’d certainly like to try. The two of them need to have an actual conversation, but that’s not really how these plots go, is it?

HE’S GOT NO RIGHT BEIN’ HERE ------hadn’t been his choice to stay away, but probably better for her and the kid anyway. see, somehow she’d avoided the crosshairs, but it’s only a matter of time before the target meant for him finds its way to her back.
thing is --- frank can find countless reasons to stay the fuck away from this house, from this woman, from this tiny family that’d welcomed him in ( scars an’ all ).
but he only ever needed one to knock on her door.

THEY TURNED ME INTO A MONSTER. [ … ] @ofeden
She is unsure as to where she has placed her heart. Suppose she is better this way, more evolved, less weighed down by empathy and the spoils of a richer collection of emotions. A tough lesson to be learned: she is mythical now, but not in a pretty way. Not in an elegant way of meadows and larks who sing. This here is her punishment: teeth that don’t stay in her mouth, a back that hunches and shrivels, eyes that sting and bleed. Sadism within release, paranoia sedated by slaughter. Lilith is too unsettled by the similarities she holds with the gods’ outcast, the knife-swallower, back-stabber, heathen-lover. Still, she is too old here, too young as well. An ageless beauty around her that blends and sways around her face like a static screen of uneasiness. Ghost, but no spirit. Monstrous in her rage and womb-blood — but no earthy talent of mortality’s final performance. She is in limbo, and it is here within this purgatory of existence, does she grant him a gentle smile. It is neither genuine nor reassuring, a simple gesture of movement that doesn’t offer any sensation of companionship — although she will lean forward in the lounge chair, an inch closer as she murmurs only a few words of acknowledgement. ‘Are we not all monsters?’ Mouth curling upwards with a tease of a sensualized hum, throat bared, voice breathless and enthralled by the apparent breach of humanity rarely witnessed. He is a prince still, privileged to his own kingdom. There is a discovery she’s made: the devil must be burning inside as well. The eyes devour and she feels the warmth similar to that of a searing sun. Yes, she thinks to herself as her body reacts to his attention, there are some men on earth that are older than it. Lucifer has wars trapped inside of him, and he holds suffering too. Endless suffering. Lilith suddenly feels starved. The glass of red wine in front of her is forgotten about, instead her focus is on him — a death-defying allure. ‘Does that frighten you? Their perception of you should mean nothing [...] you are a ruler. Remember what throne you sit on.’
