for the january prompts: 27 with bobby and peach?

Here’s a little Bobby & Peach blurb based on ringing bells 🔔

A soft sigh of longing escapes you as you sit down at the desk in your bedroom, your cheek resting in your hand and your gaze landing upon the photographs Bobby had sent you with one of his recent letters. Your eyes crinkle in the corners as they flit from picture to picture, your smile widening as you memorize each of the tiny facets of Bob’s life that he has invited you into—you especially love the ones of him laughing with his friends. They feel like your friends now, too, with the way Bobby’s words bring them to life.

In the distance, you can hear the afternoon church bells ringing and your stomach suddenly clenches with a fierce pang of yearning. Unbidden, the thought of church bells ringing on your wedding day comes to mind. Your eyes grow misty as the scenes all start playing out inside your head, like a picture at the cinema on Main Street.

Dottie doing your hair and make-up, smiling through her tears as she tells you what a beautiful bride you are. Mother and Father all dressed up, beaming with pride. Paddy and Frankie looking dapper in their Sunday best. The sun shining and the birds singing.

And then, as the bells continue to ring out their joyous song, the doors to the church open wide and you’re gliding down the aisle on your father’s arm, a bouquet of peach-colored flowers in hand as friends and neighbors smile and murmur their well wishes.

Tommy Boy and Benny are winking and jostling one another. Emily is grinning from ear to ear. Paul smiles and gives you an encouraging nod.

And then you’re there at the end of the aisle, your hand slipping into his. Your Bobby. He looks so handsome in his Navy uniform, you can hardly look away. Everyone in the church may be looking at you, but you only have eyes for him.

Just as he moves to lift your veil, the picture in your mind suddenly evaporates, disappearing like the morning mist as the rattling of a passing truck on the street below interrupts your daydream.

Shaking your head, you clear your throat and sit up straighter, feeling your cheeks grow hot with embarrassment. Certainly you’re only thinking about such things because Emily had come over earlier for a late breakfast to discuss her wedding plans. Yes, that was it. You simply had weddings on the brain.

But as your gaze shifts back to Bobby’s photograph—the black and white one that captures his smile so perfectly, but could never do any justice to his beautiful blue eyes—that ache of longing returns.

Maybe it’s time to read through all his letters again.

[saintsenara]

hyped by the @hprecfest, because it's always nice to have an excuse to squeal about the amazing writing in this fandom. and the time i've spent reading it...

day one: favourite fics under 5k words

the ballad of judas iscariot by eldritcher severus snape/lord voldemort mature | 2.9k words

why i recommend it:

because it's the perfect characterisation of my ultimate otp - a brave, feral snape whose betrayal of voldemort [weighed down by the long shadow of catholic guilt, which is relatable of him...] actually means something - told in spare, beautiful prose:

it was unlikely that lucius could contribute any advice to my problem. i was planning to betray a madman who wanted to kill a newborn babe. that i happened to fiercely love said madman contributed complexity to the case.

beautiful enough for the both of us by dirgewithoutmusic lavender brown/parvati patil general | 2.2k words

why i recommend it:

because it's an exquisite demonstration of what love actually is - not the grand sacrifices to save the world which harry gets up to in canon, but the bittersweet tenderness of choosing each other despite everything.

lavender didn’t remember, because she never remembered– she didn’t recall the cellar door unlocking and opening after ten minutes of post-moonrise silence. she didn’t recall parvati wingardium leviosa-ing a comfy chair down the stairs, or her sitting down and pulling out a stack of witch weeklys, nor did she remember curling up on parvati’s fuzzy button slippers and going to sleep.

but she did remember waking up in the morning, her cheek pressed into a soft pillow. she was tattered under a thick blanket, but she was human and looking upward at parvati’s slack, sleeping face. her dark plaits tumbled, curling, over the soft pink polka dots of her pajamas.

mortal coil by mckay the bloody baron/severus snape teen | 3.6k words

why i recommend it:

because what life must be like for the hogwarts ghosts - year after year stretching out before them - is something i love seeing explored in fics, and this does a remarkable job of linking the monotony of the bloody baron's existence to the loneliness and grief of snape's own. plus, it is, in its own little way, a story of true love:

"why weren't you afraid of me?" he asked, gathering that boy in his arms. he really would have to remember to start using his name; he couldn't very well call him "that boy" for the rest of eternity.

"you know why."

"yes, i suppose i do."

for everything a season by @broomsticks marge dursley/dolores umbridge general | 300 words

why i recommend it:

because i love to see middle-aged butch representation:

summer had seen marge growl “i’m never getting married — ever —” and drop the top of her convertible and floor the accelerator. dolores, who’d always loathed quidditch, had thrown her face up to the scorching sun, let the wind whip through her hair.

in the arms of the ocean by writcraft sirius black/james potter mature | 2.1k words

why i recommend it:

because i love prongsfoot and its inherent tragedy, and the growing horror as you realise where this piece is going - even in so few words - is visceral:

even on a cold autumn morning, everything about james reminds me of summertime. he’s tanned, warm and restless. he uses shampoo which smells like coconuts. it reminds me of that time in brighton, when the pebbles were hot with sunshine and smooth and hard beneath our feet. we ran into the sea while the waves crashed over us. i pushed him, and he pushed me back until we were both laughing like we’d never stop, and his kisses tasted like ocean spray.

[princesssarisa]

Character ask: Mufasa (The Lion King)

Favorite thing about them: What a wonderful king and father he is. So benevolent, so wise, knowing when to be stern, when to be gentle, and when to be lighthearted and playful, so brave and fierce as a fighter, yet "only brave when he has to be," and so warm and loving to his son and willing to fight with his life to protect him. In him, the filmmakers made sure to create a character we would love and admire, for himself as well as because he's Simba's beloved father – it's no wonder that his death is possibly Disney's most heartbreaking moment.

Least favorite thing about them: Hmmm.... I guess I'll say his letting Simba practice his pouncing on Zazu, when Zazu clearly finds it uncomfortable and humiliating, even if it is funny.

Three things I have in common with them:

*I try to respect all creatures.

*I can be lighthearted and playful, but at other times serious and spiritual.

*I have long, thick hair.

Three things I don't have in common with them:

*I'm not a parent.

*I don't have a murderously jealous brother.

*I'm human.

Favorite line:

"Before sunrise he's your son."

"Everything the light touches is our kingdom."

"A king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, Simba, the sun will set on my time here, and will rise with you as the new king."

"Simba, let me tell you something my father told me. Look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars... So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you. And so will I."

"Remember who you are. You are my son and the one true king. Remember who you are... Remember..."

brOTP: Simba, Zazu, and Rafiki.

OTP: Sarabi.

nOTP: Simba, Nala, or Scar.

Random headcanon: Before Simba was born, Mufasa and Sarabi had trouble conceiving, and/or had another cub who died in infancy. They seem older when Simba is born than Simba and Nala are when Kiara is born, and Mufasa seems too wise and secure in his role as king to have newly assumed the throne. So my guess is that Simba was a "miracle baby." This is also fitting because the production team admitted that Simba's journey was influenced by the Bible story of Joseph, son of Jacob, and Joseph was also born after his mother was barren for many years.

Unpopular opinion: I'm not opposed to his new backstory in the upcoming prequel. I know that some Lion King fans are up-in-arms at the idea of Mufasa having been an orphan who came from nothing, because it contradicts all the well-established fanon about his childhood and Scar's too. But first of all, this prequel will only be canon for the 2019 remake, not for the original 1994 film or the Broadway musical. Secondly, none of the popular fanon details about Mufasa and Scar's childhoods (e.g. that their parents were named King Ahadi and Queen Uru, or that Scar's original name was Taka) were ever official canon. They came from an early spinoff book that Disney has always ignored. Third, it's clear that with this "commoner orphan cub" backstory, Disney is trying to address one of the complaints often aimed at The Lion King. Namely that it glorifies hereditary monarchy and conservative power structures, with the "rightful kings" who were born into privilege and power as the heroes, and vilifying the underdogs who try to change the status quo. I've personally never minded that aspect, because the original Lion King has the feel of a myth; it's not a political tract for humans. But I do understand the complaints, so I don't mind the fact that Disney is trying to answer them by portraying the young Mufasa as an underdog who rose to kingship through his own merit.

Song I associate with them:

"They Live in You" from the stage musical.

Its reprise, "He Lives in You" (also heard in The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride)

Favorite picture of them:

Ok uuuuh alfion and eisenbright

For Alfion.

Look, I get the appeal. Trust me I do. Grumpy/Sunshine one. Sun/Moon aesthetics. Good man meets rogue. One with Trust Issues learns from One who Sees the Best in People. And in turn the One who Lets his Guard Down too much Learns to be Careful.

But I still see them as mostly platonic. At least in my fics and moments where I imagine scenes for them. I see them as having to really build that friendship first before it becomes something different, but it's still a close bond where these two can rely on one another.

Eisenbright, my OTP!

I adore this ship, possibly more than I could put into words. These two fit so well with each other that it's uncanny! There's their obvious shared interest in the Kingdom of Hornburg, there's Olberic protecting Cyrus in battle so he can cast his spells, and then there's also our knight being rather receptive to our scholar's rambles and actually responding in kind.

I have made some fics and so many head canons for them, I basically have my own version of them (where canon was the foundation. My springboard if you will.) Hurt/comfort is very easy to write and read for them because to me, it just feels so natural for them.

As does the hand holding.

They are both fierce, soft, serious, but also can laugh with each other and their friends when they get a moment to relax. Olberic and Cyrus (and their relationship, both what's hinted at in-game and what I've crafted for them) - it really all means the world to me. They make me happy. Enough said.

May this birthday be an amazing one!!!! 💜💜 - Lillia

Jungkook was the epitome of hard work. If there was anyone you would’ve named as annoyingly competitive at your school, it would’ve been him - sarcastic, fierce, smart, always trying to up you whenever he could.

The science lab that you both shared was always an intense business, and the class knew how the whole lab would be punctuated by the teacher deciding which of you was more correct as soon as you and Jungkook entered the room. The semester had started one month and a half ago, but the whole team of teachers had taken note of the mess that the pair of you were. From trying to out correct each other to vying for the TA’s praise, the competition between the two of you was something that made everyone gawk and laugh at. This lab was no different.

It was a simple class to help you start familiarizing yourself with tardigrades before you did experiments on them later. You were simply tasked with drawing them and documenting the development of their eggs, but you didn’t think even such a thing could turn into a full-on war between Jungkook and you.

“So, if you look closely, some of you might have pregnant tardigrades under their microscope. The person who spots them and manages to document everything correctly, will get some chocolate from me the next time,” your teacher encouraged you, always the nicest sweetheart of your college.

Curse Jungkook’s superior art skills because even though both of you had pregnant tardigrades, it was like comparing a toddler’s hard work to something that belonged in MOMA.

“Teacher…” Jungkook shot you a knowing look after interrupting more of the teacher’s praise of his diagram.

“Yes, Mister Jungkook?”

“Well, you see… I know you expressed a want to hang up the diagram… but I honestly don’t feel like it’s the best I can do. Especially since Y/N knocked my elbow a few times and even scribbled something on my paper. I mean, I tried to make the scribbles look like part of the diagram… but I know I could do better. Could I try to redo it for extra credit?”

“Miss Y/L/N. Did you really try to ruin his work?” 

You floundered some and glared at the lying Jungkook, “N-no! I mean I did bump into him, but when our chairs are so close together, it is bound to happen! It wasn’t to try to sabotage him.” 

The teacher’s eyes narrowed before she nodded at Jungkook and continued on with the lesson, her better nature taking what you said as truth… as it was! That “bumping” was simple brushing him… that you might have intended, but still! Not maliciously! When the teacher’s back was turned to you and Jungkook, you sent him a glare, to which he smirked back before focusing on the teacher again who was pointing out more details about the tardigrades that needed to be added to diagram labels. 

And although the lesson was still not over - technically - she spoke up as soon as you and Jungkook handed in your work. “Perfect! As promised, Mister Jeon and Miss Y/L/N may leave earlier - you worked hard today again!” your professor announced, clapping her hands and spurring on the rest of the class to do the same - you could clearly see how annoyed and unmotivated your classmates were, and it made you chuckle.

Grinning back at Jungkook, you put the strap of your bag around your shoulder, knowing that he’d follow you very soon. He always did. The corridor was empty, the classes still going on as you heard his faint footsteps behind you. You rolled your eyes - no matter how many times you beat him in class (even if today, you only beat him by answering more stuff correctly), he’d always stay right next to you.

You walked in silence for quite some while until you stepped out into the pleasantly warming sun, the fresh wind grazing your skin and playing with your hair softly. There was a park you’d always go to, one that belonged to the campus, but mostly stood empty despite the large number of students at your school. Most of the students spent their days flitting between classes and fulfilling last minute assignments and they barely had time to look or go to the park that was ever so slightly out of the way from the other, less cool, outdoor spaces your college offered. 

Considering the fact that beautiful flowers and plants bloomed on the grounds of the small park, you felt like the students who never cared to visit were stupid and oblivious to the park’s amazingness. It was a perfect place to study, relax or spend time with friends, and now that you were released from your last class of the day, you didn’t yet feel the urge to go back to your dorm room yet. You approached a bench, your bench, directly next to the swing set.

As you almost reached it, still aware of how close your rival was, Jungkook suddenly grabbed your wrist to pull you close to him, his face just inches away. Trapping you in his arms, his eyes wandered to your lips.

“Aren’t you tired of following me around all the time?” you asked with a bratty smile, throwing back your hair as you awaited his answer.

“How could I ever?” And without a warning, he pressed his lips against yours before you could even give him your devilish smirk that he loved so much.

That was bound to happen, you knew it, and you relished in the intense feeling his careful touch gave you. He kissed you gently and with so much unsaid emotion that you tried to match, enjoying the soft touches of his hands against your body and the feel of his firm body under your hands. All of this, you both and your secret relationship, had started not long ago. Always the bantering couple that the school loved so much and you had long been selected as the ultimate OTP - something that meant one true pairing nowadays, many students asking if the class rivalry had ever become more.

As he kissed you, mouth moving against yours tenderly, softly, affectionately, the excitement in your body increased, wanting nothing more than to stay here in the empty park with him forever, pressed against his chest. In his arms with your lips locked together, nothing else seemed to matter. Not his insane art skills or who outperformed the other in class or grades. It was just the tender kisses and touches of him.

When he let go, stroking your cheek with his fingertips gently, he smiled endearingly. “Seeing you all riled up and motivated to beat me is so hot.”

You furrowed your eyebrows as you pushed him away slightly, but his hands on your waist stayed stubbornly, firmly holding you in his grip as he laughed at your expression. “Good that you think that. I just can’t believe how much fun you have annoying the hell out of me in front of our teachers.”

“You’re the cutest when riled up,” Jungkook said with a smirk.

“And I can’t believe you said that I scribbled on your diagram today! We are stooping to lies now?”

Jungkook laughed lightly, one of his hands traveling down your arm to hold your hand. “Well… You got all pink when I brought up the bumps. I enjoyed watching you flush. You’re just so cute, Y/N.” He pinched your cheek as he said the last words.

What? You blinked slowly, a robotic laughing coming out of you. “Jungkook. I love you… but don’t do that again.”

“What? Can you repeat? I didn’t hear?” Jungkook’s ears were pink as he looked at you hopefully, his eyes glistening and shining as he spoke.

“Don’t do it again.” 

“Nooo! What was the first part? I wanna hear it again.” He whined and squeezed your hand tightly while bringing it up to his chest. 

Mimicking a deep thought process, you pursed your lips and scrunched your brows together. “No. You’ve not been a good boy.”

Jungkook’s eyes widened in shock as his lips parted wordlessly, his hand going slack in yours. Laughing excitedly, you quickly removed yourself from Jungkook, set your bag down, and started off away from him.

“You might have to catch me to get me to say anything more!” you shouted when you were only a meter or so away, quickly catching Jungkook’s attention once again.

Even from how far away you were, you saw the tell tale competitiveness flow into him as he raced off after you. A squeal left you when he came closer and you quickened your pace, but it was no use. Jungkook was so much faster and stronger than you and before you knew it, he had swooped you up in his arms and spun you around.

“Tell me, you love meeee!” Jungkook whined childly as he set you down, pouting at you as he started to pepper your face and neck with soft kisses.

His kisses tickled you, and he enjoyed that every single time. “I-I lo-love yo-you!” you managed to squeal out before once again, he was kissing your lips.

“Good, because I love you too.”

Ask meme for Helen Park? :D

OOOOO BOY– Ok!~ Firstly, this won’t be super accurate because I’m going to do it without spoilers since I recall you saying before that you may play the campaign. •Favourite thing about her: HER PRESCRIPTION AVIATOR GLASSES. Listen, there are so many things I could put here and it's so hard to choose but I am un-ironically in love with her wearing her aviator-style reading glasses while she's looking over some files. •Least favourite thing about her: I suppose I'd have to say...That she smokes? Partially for very touchy personal reasons but also I would not be able to be around her if she smelled like smokes or was smoking. Though she's a fictional character so that's not really an issue XD So, alternatively, just the fact that she is so complex– which I do love because it's so damn interesting but she feels hard to write/write for confidently.

•Favourite line: It’s actually really hard to pick just one, there are so many that I love! So I’m going to pick two of the ones I really like because there’s one that makes me laugh SO HARD but it’s never used in the game, and I’ll provide a more serious one as well. So.... 1) “Some say life’s a bitch. Not me!” 2) “OIOIOIOIOIOIOI–”

•brOTP: Thanks to Loaf I nonstop think about her and Sebastian Vargas being on a team together and developing a friendship. Aside from that I really like her being best bros with Lazar! They have some pretty good moments in the campaign, so I like the friendship that develops there. He can fit into the OTP category as well. There are a lot of characters to consider here, so I’m sure there’s more!!!

•OTP: While I do kinda like Lazar with her, my absolute fave person to pair with her is Yirina Portnova. The fiercely loyal MI6 agent and the fiercely loyal KGB agent... Did someone say “enemies on opposite sides of the cold war to lovers”? Due to both of their bios from within the game and what we see of their characters, I think they would have a VERY interesting dynamic and rivalry.

•Random headcanon: I’m not sure how to put this to words but I think Park likely has a *very* hard time putting her guard down. Like, truly. Because she can appear comfortable, cool, charming and collected but shit has happened in her life that makes it hard to genuinely trust and get close to people. As well, she’s afraid that if she does let herself build up those relationships, that the same things will happen all over again... or that they will be taken from her. I also like the idea that the reason the details surrounding her brother and whether or not he is alive or dead have changed because he *is* alive but she wants to protect him. She appears to have been quite devastated by the fact that he ended up a victim of an attack, so in my estimation the two must have been pretty close?

•Unpopular opinion: There is NOTHING WRONG WITH HER EYEBROWS. I love them!!!! Also fun fact, there is a very specific reason why Park’s eyebrows have that distinct look. Her actor (Lily Cowles) employs a very specific technique with them since she’s a screen actor. And they did very closely model Park after Lily!!!

•Song I associate with her: Again, this stuff is hard for me for quite a few reasons, so it’s really hard for me to pick something that I actually feel fits her??? It’s also been way too long since I’ve actually listened to music. So my best choice for this one at the moment is maybe Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden???? I’m not sure but I did want to try and put *something* so... ;v;

•Favourite picture of them: I’m certain there’s a ton I could pic for this but, keeping myself to just one... You know I gotta do this since I mentioned the aviators~ LOOK AT HER.

I love your post that has lines from different media pieces that fit Itafushi really well and I was wondering if you’ve read The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. Because I cannot stop comparing Achilles and Patroclus with Megumi and Itadori.

“The never-ending ache of love and sorrow. Perhaps in some other life I could have refused. But not in this one. He would sail to Troy and I would follow, even into death.”

“A surety rose in me, lodged in my throat. I will never leave him. It will be this, always, for as long as he will let me.”

And my favorite: “Name one hero who was happy…You can’t” “I can’t” “I know. They never let you be famous and happy. I’ll tell you a secret.” “Tell me.” “I’m going to be the first. Swear it.” “Why me?” “Because you’re the reason. Swear it.” “I swear it.” “I feel like I could eat the world raw.”

Also how Patroclus and Achilles are compared to the moon and sun by fans and so are Megumi and Itadori. Achilles death being prophesy and Itadori basically a dead man walking.

HI!!

thank u for thinking / appreciating so! i love pretty words and i just love doing itfs parallels to it, bc whats better than putting / imagining ur otp in those kinds of settings am i right!

yes! i do read tsoa!! makes me insane just thinking about it. listen. where should i even begin. at first, i was thinking megumi as achilles, simply bc he’s from a renowned clan, simply bc he was the one who said to patroclus when they heard about possibly joining the trojan war, “if you have to go, you know i will go with you.” and the fact that achilles only ever looks at patroclus, he does not care about anyone else. when patroclus died, red is all he sees. with patroclus gone, he does not care about the war anymore. it is only hector that he seeks. and that kind of violent rage, i can see that it can(?) stem out of megumi. and how he tried to fight sukuna to bring yuuji back in ep 5.

but after contemplating it much further, ur right as well. yuuji is achilles, and megumi patroclus. the violent devotion patroclus has for achilles mirrors what megumi has for yuuji. and the fact that yuuji, the boy that megumi loves, is on borrowed time too. when patroclus heard about the prophecy, about how achilles would die by the end, he was so grief-stricken and tried to stop him from danger etc and it reminds me, of how yuuji swallowed the first finger and megumi was all, “pls save him. its my personal feelings.” and on the first meeting too. like how big of an impact that was. its crazy to even think about it.

you have the big quotes that i equate with them as per the book! but also here’s my other favorites:

1) “[...] and i thought of how many nights i had lain awake in this room loving him in silence.”

2) “when he died, all things swift and beautiful and bright would be buried with him.”

3) “how much longer will he live?” “why? would u prepare urself for it? try to stop it?” “yes, if i can. please. please tell me.”

4) “in the huge hall, his beauty shone like a flame, vital and bright, drawing my eyes against my will.”

5) “and perhaps, it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another one is gone.”

6) “i would not care. whatever u became. it would not matter to me. we would be together.”

7) “do not let it be so. do not leave me here without him.”

the one theme i absolutely adore about itafushi is: the act of choosing. and how again, it mirrors achilles and patroclus. if patroclus cowers against thetis, he would leave achilles be. but he is afraid still, and he loves achilles fiercely, still. and how megumi knows now that sukuna might do sth to him, might harm him, but he still wants to stay beside yuuji, knowing any possible implications that it will bring. despite the catastrophe happened in shibuya, he chose to stay with yuuji, still. he chose yuuji, still. megumi knows and megumi trusts that yuuji himself wont ever hurt him. and can you even love someone u dont trust? megumi, megumi doesnt have to be a healer like shoko to heal / soothe yuuji’s heart, he does it anyway. i was so glad that after their reunion (chap 143 onwards), yuuji was himself again. megumi has a big impact on yuuji as much as yuuji on megumi. and thats just so lovely, isnt it?

Masterlist page // Masterlist post // AO3

There he was. As gloriously handsome as ever. Your heart tugged and your blood heated. Your body froze in place. Magicians mingled about around you, none the wiser of the turmoil that erupted within you. His eyes had found yours and they were as deep and dark as ever. Endless galaxies to drown in, to be consumed by at any given moment. That moment had already happened, years ago. You had drowned in his eyes and floated about in the dark cradled by his perfect love.

It felt as if your body would take flight, as if your soul would spread its wings within and burst through the heavens at the mere sight of him. Your heart pounded, ached tremendously for the man and love he had given you. Your breath hitched as his eyes softened and shimmered. Tears were brought to your eyes as you felt the world crash around you. The world you had so carefully built after being broken beyond repair.

You had loved him, loved him still. Deeply, hauntingly, eternally. An echoing cry of your pain lulled in your mind as you remembered the pain. The ferocious, shattering, unyielding pain you had lived through when you had left him. When you had abandoned the perfect love he bestowed upon you at all times. When the pain of what you had sacrificed was more clear than ever.

You loved him more than anything you had ever loved before or after him. He was the ultimate. He was perfect love. Your fingers tingled with the ripples of a memory of his skin against yours, his glossy hair dragged through your fingers. Your tears threatened to fall but you kept them at bay with every ounce of your power as people kept going on with their lives all around.

His stance softened, his shoulders looked tense though. His jaw set harshly and the soft lips he used to kiss you with were set in a thin line. Everything about him screamed at others to run away, hide, to leave him be. Yet his eyes called for you with desperation. Desperation you felt echoed through your entire being. With him you were careless. With him, you had believed. But in the end, it had not been enough with perfect love.

You wanted desperately to say hello to him, speak with him. Hear the rolling thunder of a voice that he spoke with so gently to you all those years ago. You wanted to hear him call your name, hear him say that he loves you and need you. Like he had done all those years ago. Everything within you roared and thrashed in pain from the remembrance of his love. The thing you had so desperately suffocated and pressed into an iron chest hidden deep within the locked vaults of your heart and mind.

Yet there he stood and all things had burst out with revenge. The sensations and emotions as vibrantly colourful and strong as they had ever been. You were always aware of them, always felt them pounding against the walls of their confinement. But you had kept them at bay and done your best to find new love and happiness in life. For there had been things you needed that he could not give you. Things that meant more to you than the perfect love that he was, that he gave.

You shivered as your arms came around yourself in a protective hug. A barrier towards him as his eyes glinted with unshed tears and burned with embers of love. Love he still carried for you. Despite the distance between you both and the busy lives that bustled around you you could feel it. Sensed it. He still loved you and you knew, by the smallest of sad smiles that etched his lips, that he knew you loved him as desperately back. That was your sacrifice. He was your sacrifice along with true love, perfect love.

He stepped towards you, his black hair shined in the afternoon sun and the wind made his coat flare out like a black cloud around him. He was magnificent and you loved him, wanted to say hello one more time. Wanted to talk to him one more time. Even if it would break you all over again. You were desperately aching for him in places that you had nearly forgotten. Places that you had shut away from your mind and soul as they had been too painful to live with.

But he halted, froze in place as an arm came around your waist and gentle lips were pressed to your temple. Severus’ eyes hardened, turned cold as icy fire roiled around in them where the burning embers of desperate, perfect love had been a mere moment ago. Where hope had burned a moment ago.

“Cold, honey?” You glanced up at your husband with gentle eyes as you slammed down the lid on the iron chest in your heart and shoved it back into its vault. You locked the door and barricaded it for your own sanity and survival. “A tad, love,” you answered as a soft smile etched your lips as you looked at him with adoration. You added an extra vault around the first vault and then barricaded that door as well. “Here,” he said with a sweet smile while he placed his warm coat over your shoulders. It smelled of vanilla and dog. A scent you associated with your husband on pure instinct now.

You gave him a quick peck on his cheek, “Thank you, love,” you said and he beamed at you. He loved you, fully and completely. He gave you what you needed in terms of security and reliability. Things Severus had never been able to grant you. Sure, your husband’s love was nothing compared to that of Severus’ but that was not all there was to a happy life for you. Don’t say hello again, don’t do it. Don’t break yourself over something you sacrificed years ago. Don’t let the past destroy what you have now. You made your choice, and it was the right one. Love is not the only thing in the world to want and need. No matter what all the novels say.

You looked towards Severus as your husband offered his arm. You took it as your eyes met Severus’, tears shined like stardust in the endless galaxies you loved and drowned in. You had no words of comfort to give him - only painful ones. He knew you loved him just as fiercely as he loved you. He also knew he was not enough for you in other things that mattered more to you. Things you needed to be happy, to feel safe and thrive in life.

You passed him with painfully open eyes as your husband asked what you wanted to shop for next. You gave Severus a small nod, his back straightened and he nodded sideways as his eyes slowly closed and opened in that special way he had. You saw the pain he was in as clear as day, you allowed him to see yours for a moment before you allowed the perfect love you had sacrificed to remain hidden deep inside of you as your husband doted on you and made plans for what to do during the summer holidays in a few months time.

You found peace in your thoughts again as Severus was shoved away and your heart calmed itself. You had made your choice and, despite the pain, it had been the right one for you. In the end, you were happy even if your heart was irrevocably broken beyond salvation. Even if the love you held for that dark man left behind was unmatched, you still loved. Just gentler, smaller, less. You just loved enough and that was okay. Even if you wished, with all your might, that Severus could have been enough for you. That his love had been all you needed. It just was not.

Lyrics of My Sacrifice by Creed: Hello my friend we meet again It's been a while where should we begin? Feels like forever Within my heart are memories Of perfect love that you gave to me Oh I remember

When you are with me, I'm free I'm careless, I believe Above all the others we'll fly This brings tears to my eyes My sacrifice

We've seen our share of ups and downs Oh how quickly life can turn around In an instant It feels so good to reunite Within yourself and within your mind Let's find peace there

'Cause when you are with me, I'm free I'm careless, I believe Above all the others we'll fly This brings tears to my eyes My sacrifice

I just want to say hello again

I just want to say hello again

'Cause when you are with me, I'm free I'm careless, I believe Above all the others we'll fly This brings tears to my eyes 'Cause when you are with me, I'm free I'm careless, I believe Above all the others we'll fly This brings tears to my eyes My sacrifice

My sacrifice (I just want to say hello again) I just want to say hello again

The Pelle/Dani Receipts, Post Five: Arrival in Hårga

Dani and the others emerge from the big yellow yonic sun gate and are greeted by several Hårgan youth who relieve them of their bags (and I’m TOTALLY SURE don’t rifle through them) while Pelle runs off camera. He returns shortly thereafter to introduce his sister Dagny, “born the exact same day as me.” 

There are a couple interesting things about this introduction. Number one, the way Pelle emphasizes her birthday underlines how “sister” does not necessarily mean a blood sibling to Pelle. If Dagny were his blood sister and born the exact same day as Pelle, she would be his twin. This is the first time that loose familial usage is really obvious since, well, Ingemar could have easily passed for Pelle's blood brother. Number two, it calls attention again to birthdays (and it is Dani’s birthday at this point, forgotten as far as she knows) and how astrology (or runeology) is important to the Hårgans. Number three, their shared birthday clearly makes Dagny special to Pelle, and so his choice to introduce his American friends to Dagny first takes additional significance. Not to mention Dagny and Dani are oddly similar names, as discussed in this post. And as Pelle does his introduction spiel, Dagny takes the opportunity to sneak a direct look at Dani, appearing to recognize her.

Dani endears herself to Dagny immediately, as she does to the broader Hårgan community throughout the film. When Dagny welcomes them to Hårga in Swedish, Dani replies with the Swedish word for thank you, tack. Pelle scrunched-nose GLOWS, nods encouragingly/proudly at Dani, and exchanges a look with Dagny that says nothing so much as “Isn't she the best?” “Yep, you got a keeper, brother.” And then Dagny abruptly bids them farewell without engaging with the others or saying anything else, as if the entire point was just for her to get a good look at Dani.

Next, Pelle runs ahead of the others to greet Father Odd. This is a particularly fervent, sustained embrace between the two men, even more emotional than Pelle's reunion with Ingemar, with Odd’s face revealing every bit of a parent’s fierce relief at the safe return of a beloved child. As Pelle remembers himself and pulls free, Odd gets a full view of the Americans approaching before/while Pelle is introducing them. He ZEROES IN immediately on Dani, clearly recognizing her before Pelle identifies her, and after his bulging eyes fit back into his skull, Odd says softly to himself, “Wow.” This might apply to the entire group or maybe seeing Josh, one of three persons of color in the whole of Hårga, but it also might just be Odd processing seeing Dani in real life. Odd warmly greets each of the Americans with handshakes and individual welcomes, but for Dani alone, he reserves a hug and “welcome home.” (Note that after Dani is crowned May Queen, Odd will tell her “welcome home” again, but this time in Swedish.) He follows this with “we are so happy to have you,” directed specifically at her, until Odd lamely tries to cover by awkwardly piling on more effusive welcomes and excusing himself.

During the entire scene with Odd talking to the Americans, Pelle’s face is frequently blocked in the camera shot by Dani; they are, again, overlapping. But we can see him from the eyebrows up, making it clear that he’s looking pretty directly and unashamedly at Dani much of the time. Once they arrive in Hårga, Pelle puts little effort into concealing his many stolen glances at her.

Our next scene is only included in the Director’s Cut version of the film, but it’s a good one for general Hårga mood/wholesomeness and Pelle/Dani substance. Everyone settles down in the shadow of the maypole for a little thanksgiving, uncanny vocal harmonizing, and a picnic, seated on the ground in the configuration of the rune Raidho. Again, we will get into the runes in more detail later, but it’s worth noting here that Raidho, meaning “wheel” or journey, is one of Dani’s runes, albeit merkstaved or reversed. Raidho is also one of two runes featured on the maypole itself, along with Fehu, which Pelle just happens to wear. (Sten, the Hårgan Elder who leads with the thanksgiving song during this scene, is also wearing a merkstaved Raidho stitched in yellow, but don’t get AnonLady started on her absurd Dani/Pelle are the new Siv/Sten headcanon no one wants.)

Dani is, as usual, seated between Pelle and Christian on mats that have been laid out in lieu of a table. From the aerial shot, we see that not only is Dani next to Pelle, but she and Pelle are actually sitting on the same mat, and that mat is yellow. (To be fair, Josh, who is also always next to his primary source Pelle, is half on that mat, too. Of course, of all the other newbloods, Josh is the one who comes closest after Dani to respecting Hårga, so we could torture some meaning out of that, too.) Pelle points out the fire pit to Dani, a prime example of Pelle’s tendency to explain Hårgan ways toward Dani. “It’s all our jobs to keep it burning,” he tells her, leaning in, and when Josh--the one whose thesis was supposedly the impetus for the trip--asks him to repeat himself, Pelle brushes him off. “I’ll tell you later.” Note this particular line, not unlike Pelle's later explanation of life being like the seasons, has morbid subtext, because we will eventually see how Dan and Ylva's bodies are cremated in the fire pit. One day, it will be Dani and Pelle's turn to keep it burning that way, too.

After the picnic, Pelle’s group sits on the lawn and hangs out with Ingemar and his guests, watching everyone folk dancing while Hårgan kids romp in a game Ingemar tells them is called Skin the Fool. [rictus smile] 

We first see everyone from Maja’s perspective, as she exits the Youth House, all set for her Christian mission, as it were, and the blocking is significant. At this point, Simon is off-camera, so not only is Christian centered in Maja’s POV, but we have Connie and Ingemar grouped on one end, with Pelle and Dani on the other. The first thing you might notice, other than Maja’s Christian-splayed focal point, is the way Dani is seated on the far end, next to Pelle, not Christian, and how she and Pelle (and Ingemar all the way on the other side) have eerily similar posture: cross-legged, straight-backed, arms resting on legs. All the other newbloods are slouching, leaning, whatever, like you do. Not Dani, and this only becomes more noticeable throughout the movie. In her movements and instincts, Dani almost can’t not be Hårgan.

So not only does Dani unconsciously mirror Pelle and Ingemar as she sits watching, not only is she moving subtly to the music, as if unable to resist dancing even when she’s too self-conscious to join, not only is she sitting closer to Pelle than her boyfriend (look at that picture and tell us who you think is Dani’s boyfriend of 4 years, we’ll wait), but she and Pelle are visually contrasted with the thwarted Hårgan/newblood couple of Ingemar and Connie. And in case that last part isn’t obvious enough, check out the wistful longing radiating from Ingemar once Simon returns, which is even more emphasized in the Director’s Cut, as we’re shown Dani noticing Ingemar pine for Connie, too.

Pelle gently suggests all of the others join the dance, but it doesn’t go anywhere (“I’m too scared,” Dani tells Pelle) until a well-timed flirty kick from Maja pulls Christian into the festivities. When Christian goes, Josh and Mark, who were totally uninterested two minutes earlier, instantly peel off to join, too. I guess they didn’t want to be left making conversation with Dani and Pelle? Anyhoo, this conveniently leaves our OTP alone for one of the High Pelle/Dani Moments, a scene and a scheme that deserves its very own post.

Fire WriterYou burn. In the night, under the hot sun, you burn. You shine in the darkest nights, bringing to your readers an immortal fire. No one is able to portray feelings better than you. Emotions burn your characters, making them matches in dark rooms, lighting up everything, and burning from their own hands. Your best is shown in short stories, where the flames of your character’s souls can burn brighter than ever, and become ashes. Your stories hold the most passionate love, soft sighs whispered against a lover’s skin, and the neon lights of a night club. Pain is your second name, and you don’t mind it. Wars, betrayal, yearning, a/b/o and enemy to lovers are your favorite tropes. But when you decide to comfort, the fierce fire that burns in your soul becomes the warm hug of a blanket in a cold day. Established relationships, per-relationship fluff and medical fics are great at showing this softer side of you. Keep burning, and show everyone how hard a fire can burn, even in the coldest of the nights.

[darrowsrising]

your favorite ships in the red rising series and your reasons respectively

Thank you for the ask 🐺💖🤗!

1. Darrow O'Lykos and Virginia au Augustus

Hashtags: #otp: spring to my deep winter #otp: storm and ocean

Ship names: Reaper X Mustang, ReaperStang, ReaperHeart, Darginia

I love them because they are more than just a couple of love interests. They are their own persons and they are also incredible when they are together. The way they are enemies by Society standards, but they became friends and lovers by their own accord - subversion of star crossed lovers AND enemies to friends to lovers that is well-written. Sign me the fuck up! Their is love intense, but never dumbs them down. They pine for each other and there is angst at times, so it's bittersweet at times. But it's also tender and passionate. They don't need grand gestures - a mere look, their pinky fingers touching - you just know that their soul is ablaze with happiness. The way they love each other is sublime. There is so much respect between them, so much love and care. They are the mum and dad of their group and I find that so sweet. I think that...they are, simply put, soulmates. Not because they are half a person, because that is bullshit, but because in any other world, they would be together. They are the #otp: this world or any other kind of couple. I think that there is no AU possible in which they are not together, unless one of them is dead and even then, the crackships there are wouldn't actually work without major ooc stuff.

2. Sevro au Barca and Victra au Julii:

Hashtags: #otp: howling at the bleeding sun

Ship names: Sevro x Victra, Sectra

I love them as well and also because they subvert a lot of tired tropes. Individually they are great and I also love them together. They are the reckless, ride or die type of couple. They love each other fiercely and passionately. They are fire-y individuals and complement each other well. They are also sweet and tender and I think that is the greatest combo. I love that Sevro is no 'nice guy' and Victra is not the 'hot girl' that he gets 'to earn'. Both are well-established characters that went through growth and chose to be together. I also love that out of every couple there is, they went ahead and did things in order, in the middle or a war, while Darrow and Virginia had a kid first and married after 😂.

3. Mickey and Matteo:

Hashtags: #otp: stay with me

Ship names: M&Ms

I know, I know...not canon, YET! But they have so many possibilities, they are so intriguing and so interesting. The bickering, the fun, the passion, the tenderness, the angst! I just want Matteo to divorce already.

4. Alexandar and Rhonna:

Hashtags: #otp: puppy love, #otp: wolf pups

Ship names: Alexandar x Rhonna

I'll never recover from this one 😭😭😭. I can't' the potential these two had. Their dynamics were the best, they went from rivals to friends to enemies. It's too hard to talk about it 😭😭😭 The reason why I put them last on this list is because it still hurts and I can't deal with this at the moment, but I love them as much as the rest on this list.
