Keep Your Judgement

Chapter Three

Pairing: Aleksander Morozova x Fem!Reader

Summary: Journeying to the Little Palace, you manage to evade the patrolling soldiers and find some books that might help you understand the General’s condition.

Warnings: mentions of canon level violence and Grisha persecution.

My Masterlist • Series Masterlist

The floorboards creak beneath your feet and you wince at the sound as you walk through the deserted hallway. It had only taken you a few hours on horseback to reach the Little Palace and now that you’re here it doesn’t quite seem real.

The last time you walked these halls was when you escaped during the raid by the First Army, soldiers rounding up Grisha, cutting down anyone who put up a fight.

With Grisha on the run, fearing for their lives, the Little Palace has been made redundant, its original purpose as a safe space for Grisha is now tarnished by the hatred of the otkazat’sya.

As you hovered along the treeline surrounding the grounds, you had seen a few soldiers patrolling, but there wasn’t enough of them to ward you off.

Now that you are inside, heading towards the library, you feel much more comfortable. If there are guards walking the hallways, you don’t feel too concerned about alluding them, after all, you are on home turf now and you know plenty of the Palace’s secrets to help you avoid detection.

Dressed in a dark cloak and simple travelling clothing, you remain cautious nonetheless, sticking to the shadowed nooks whenever you hear a sound nearby. Once you reach the library, you breathe a sigh of relief.

A lot of the Palace had been damaged during the attack and the days after when stray soldiers had looted the place. Whilst the library appears to have been ransacked at a first glance, books hauled from shelves and dumped onto the floor, there doesn’t appear to be too many missing as you begin your search.

Merzost has never been studied before, so the majority of books about it merely theorise. But theories are better than nothing, any information you can get your hands on might help the General. Every day he seems worse. He hides it well, issuing orders as he has always done, striding through the halls of the Sanctuary with his head held high.

But you have heard him coughing, his lungs rattling with each frantic breath, when he thinks no one is around to hear his struggling.

Yesterday, when you had brought him a new batch of Vladim’s tonic, you had noticed the red handkerchief he always carried with him, soaked with black blood.

The sight of it had convinced you to journey to the Little Palace, in the hope of finding something that might help him.

When you had lived at the Little Palace, the library had been your refuge. Whilst the bustle of the materialki workshops was comforting, you had often sought the quiet solace of the library where you could read and think in peace. Seeing your safe space in such a state of disarray breaks your heart a little.

The bag you had brought with you is almost full of books, though you manage to reorganise them to slot a few extras in. The weight will be uncomfortable to carry but hopefully it will be worth it.

Just as you’re surveying the vacant shelves and piles littered over the ground, you spot a deep blue book with intricate silver embellishments. Ravkan Folklore: A Collection of Short Stories.

Every book you have retrieved so far is practical, surely it wouldn’t hurt to take one for your own enjoyment. The book is thin enough to barely add to the weight of your bag, so you slot it among the thicker volumes filled with research and academic theory.

As you’re pulling on the drawstring at the top of your bag, the sound of a door opening has you freezing in place. Moving slowly, you press your back against one of the wooden columns, heart hammering in your chest.

The sound of someone entering the library, footsteps moving leisurely over the dust covered wood of the floor and you remain frozen.

Concentrating on the other side of the library, you seek out a familiar material, one you had walked past hundreds of times over the years. A delicate porcelain vase, with gold layered over the rim.

It is just at the edge of how far you can reach with your power. Holding your breath, you step slowly through the shadows, closer to the man. Hands clasped in preparation, the vase enters the scope of your power and you ready yourself.

Sending a mental apology to the owner of the vase, you nudge the gold with your power, sending the vase toppling onto the floor. The sound of it shattering echoes through the library and footsteps hurry in that direction.

Taking advantage of the distraction, you rush through the nearest door, hurrying down the corridors until you reach the servant’s quarters.

Breathing in a deep sigh of relief, you press your hand to your chest, feeling your heart beating wildly against your palm. Ears straining, you listen for any sounds in the vicinity.

Nothing.

Heaving the bag up onto your shoulder, you walk quietly towards the stables with the intention to leave undetected by anyone else who might be in the building.

The door out into the courtyard is locked, but the mechanism is easy enough to shift and soon you’re walking out over the cobbled path, heading towards the treeline where you left your horse.

»»---------------------►

David eyes the books with curiosity, fingers twitching eagerly as you list the titles, placing each book down onto his desk in a pile.

Once you’ve finished, he opens up two books, nodding appreciatively as he lies them over his desk and flicks through the pages, thoughts already consumed by the information he’s reading.

Such a familiar sight, David buried in his work, brings a smile to your face. The look of relief on Genya’s face when he had arrived safely at the Sanctuary had given you a spark of hope.

Perhaps things would turn in your favour, allowing you and the Grisha to return to the Little Palace. Perhaps you wouldn’t lose anyone else to this war.

As you circle around to Vladim’s desk, you hold out two books towards him.

“I thought you might like these.”

He looks up at you, glancing between your face and the books. Vladim hadn’t grown up in the Little Palace like you had, and you wanted him to feel like he belongs with the Grisha.

His skills as an alkemi are a little unconventional, due to his lack of training, but he seems to share the same curiosity as the other materialki.

Taking the books from you, his eyes skim over the titles, before he offers you a small smile. Books are often a rarity in the smaller villages in Ravka and he tucks them protectively against his chest as he nods in gratitude.

“Thank you.”

Thoroughly pleased with yourself, you head out of the workshop with your bag, planning on returning to your rooms to find a safe place to stash your book of folktales.

At the sound of your name being called, you turn to face the General as he strides down the hallway. His face is drawn and pale and his dark eyes scour over you. The shadows around him seem to shift, coiling in wait for his command.

“You’re not wearing your kefta,” he states. It’s almost a criticism, or perhaps an accusation.

“I was out scouting. I didn’t want to draw attention, or risk someone following me to the Sanctuary.”

He hadn’t ordered you to remain at the Sanctuary, but you weren’t officially considered one of his scouts either.

“Scouting.” He raises a brow at you before he steps forward, towering over you. “Where exactly?”

Hesitantly, you meet his gaze. He will know if you’re lying, so you decide on the truth.

“I went back to the Little Palace,” you admit. “I managed to find a few books that might help us understand your… affliction.”

He stares at you for a long moment, but you force yourself to remain unwavering. After all, you had done it for him, because seeing him in such a state for the sake of you and your fellow Grisha hurts. Whatever reprimand he decides to give you for your recklessness, you will accept.

“I want you have an amplifier,” he says. You certainly hadn’t expected that. “Not through merzost or Morozova’s experiments like the others. A real one.”

Vladim has been working on creating amplifiers using the notes and diagrams in Morozova’s journal.

At the Little Palace, only the General’s most favoured Grisha received amplifiers and as a result you hadn’t thought you would benefit from Vladim’s experiments. The thought of not only receiving an amplifier but being able to claim one for yourself is almost unfathomable.

No doubt the General is somewhat aware of your shock, as he continues to speak in a low voice.

“There is talk of a fox that lives in the woods north of here.”

As you realise you haven’t given him a reaction, you nod quickly, searching through your memories and the book of Ravkan folktales feels heavy in your bag.

“It’s where the story of the Too Clever Fox comes from,” you recount.

He nods, tilting his head with that assessing glimmer in his eyes once again. Then he leans closer.

“I think such a creature would be well suited to you.”

His tongue darts out to wet his lips and your eyes are immediately drawn to the motion. There’s something between the two of you, thickening as you hold one another’s gaze.

Then a door slams down the end of the corridor and you take a small step back from him. The General looks away from you, eyes drifting over the fraying curtains hanging beside you.

“I’ll look into it,” you say quietly, giving him a nod as you move away. “Moi soverenyi.”

working on more designs for my zelda au

ID: first image shows Ganon and Zelda at ages 10 and 9 respectively, Zelda in a blue dress reminiscent of her Link to the Past outfit, Ganon in a white tunic and patterned vest. In the corner is a drawing of the two sitting and laughing, his hands cupped and hers open to reveal a frog. Second is Zelda in her pink formal wear beside Impaz, a Sheikah woman whose much more detailed design here includes a keaton mask on her hip and Demise’s sword. Third image is of the Zora princess, based off the white spotted jellyfish, and Ganon’s sister, a Gerudo woman with a dark turquoise dress and white headscarf. end ID

Extra details because I like to talk about them. heart.

Zelda’s designs are all Ocarina of Time child Zelda, Link to the Past Zelda, and vaguely medieval European dress. Ganon and his sister’s outfits, since it’s hard to draw on a lot of canon design for Gerudo, are Mostly inspired by Lebanese dress. His sister’s design here is not actually what it would be when he’s younger here, this is her present design. Notice the jewelry which matches his albeit in silver ^^

The Zora princess... i do not have much to say about. I’ve had the idea of her design in my head for a while and finally drew it. She’s shy and a bit of a weirdgirl.

Impaz (also present design, but she wouldn’t change much over the 9 years) is where I finally get to use the big Zant-like sleeves with the eyes I’ve been wanting to use so bad. Also Impaz from Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword and Ocarina of Time Impas get their homages. She’s got the Keaton mask and teapot for trickster-related folklore, and has kind of a lot going on because she is something of a collector... which also has to do with the sword she holds.

A Spectacular Fashion Voyage with Taylor Swift's Eras Tour!

As the final notes of the American leg of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour echo in our hearts, let's revel in the extraordinary fashion journey she's gifted us with! From the mesmerizing Lover era to the captivating depths of Reputation, each phase unveiled a distinct style, outfits that spoke volumes, and an aesthetic that transcended time.

She starts the show in her Lover Era with “Miss Americana and the heartbreak prince” followed by the first bridge of the night form “cruel summer”. For this era she has worn three custom bodysuits from Versace, all of them full of rain stones in shades os pink, blue, gold and purple, inspired byDuring this set in “The Man”, over the bodysuit, she wears a sparkly blazer as a dress, also from versace.

Fearless is next, Roberto Cavalli was in charge of creating these dresses that Swift rocked while dancing in a storm. The gold fringe dress was reminiscent of a similar look the designer created for her Speak Now Tour in 2011, the three dresses rememore the ones she wore back them, golden fringe and tassels that belong to her more than ever.

Long story short, while performing various songs from her album Evermore she took the stage in a yellow Etro dress that featured a corset top and beading detail down the front. For her magical performance of “Willow” she added a matching Etro cape. Playing into the woodsy nature of the Evermore album with a darker burgundy color and ruffles throughout Marco de Vincenzo, creative director of Etro, designed another dress for this set.

One of her most dramatic looks was the Roberto Cavalli one-legged jumpsuit. The design features a black sheer sleeve, glittering material and a three-dimensional embroidered snake motif winding from the bottom of her leg to the top of her neck. The ruby red snake contrasts with the black bezels of the design, it was reminiscent of the many bodysuits Swift wore during Reputation Tour as it was covered in black sequins scales.

For the end of a decade and the start of an age, she wore a custom-made Zuhair Murad Couture tulle ballgown – featuring beautiful beading, sequins, pearls and crystal embellishments all over the voluminous skirt and bodice. The impressive dress required 50 metres of tulle, while the elaborate design took more than 350 hours of handwork to create in the brand's atelier. In addition to the shimmering Zuhair Murad gown, after the release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) she wore a beautiful lilac Nicole + Felicia ballgown, featuring a tiered tulle skirt that captured the light beautifully, thanks to its crystal-embellished finish. Another gown Swift fought dragons is was a Elie Saab one covered in flower apliqué and shimmery beading.

She was never good at telling jokes but the punchline goes, and she know it too well because she wore a sequinned Ashish t-shirt embroidered with quotes such as “Who’s Taylor Swift any wat? Ew”, “A lot going on at the moment” and “we are never getting back together like ever” with a Gladys Tamez Millinery hat that she gave to different fans every night.

So far we had a marvelous time leading to Folklore where the singer performed in a more delicate look in the form of a floaty, layered lilac dress by Alberta Ferretti. "Thinking about these stage dresses for her also pushed me to reflect on my career milestones," explained Ferretti. "I think what we have created reflects this journey where the key elements of my style stand out: lightness, femininity, romance, attention to detail and a delicate, gentle seduction." She wore a green chiffon gown with a deep neckline, flowing sleeves and embroidered leaf detailing, designed by Alberta Ferretti too. Swift added to her repertoire of beautifully designed dresses in a custom-made orange Etro gown, with an embroidered ruffled bodice.

Darling, she’s nightmare dressed like a daydream in three shimmering two-pieces by Roberto Cavalli. Its beautiful design gave the illusion of crystal water droplets, which moved effortlessly as she performed onstage. She wore the outfit with her go-to sequin Christian Louboutin boots. For the surprise song, Taylor topped this cavalli matching sets with Jessica Jones ruffled dresses in matching colours.

From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes, the last part of the show started with a midnight blue bodysuit full of sequins and rainstones with a matching garter by Oscar de la Renta. In a lighter shade of blue, Zuhair Murrad designed another beaded bodysuit. In the lasts shows in LA, she also wore a bodysuit similar to the one she wore in the 1989 tour, with cut-outs and fringe bottom. Every time, everybody agrees that Taylor Swift wears the best looks on stage, and for Anti-Hero Taylor wears her second Oscar de la Renta look consisted of a sequinned 'aurora borealis' T-shirt dress with a co-ordinating lavender faux fur coat, which also featured delicate crystal droplets. For Karma she vibes like that with a tassel coat just to say see you later to the swifties.

An epic wardrobe, just like her music, just like @taylorswift

hey stephen, from fearless (taylor's version)・malik wright

"i've seen it all, so i thought. but i've never seen nobody shine the way you do... the way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name... it's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change. hey stephen, why are people always leaving? i think you and i should stay the same..."

Breaking Down Every Alcohol Lyric in Taylor Swift’s Musical Catalogue

It’s known that Swift enjoys a drink from time to time, as she’s referenced various types of alcohol in her songs throughout her career that’s spanned almost two decades. In this article, we’ve tracked down every reference to a specific alcoholic beverage Swift has ever sung, broken down by album.

Editor’s note: In order to curate the list, I listened and read the lyrics to all 231 of Swift’s released songs and features (much to the enjoyment of my lovely wife). Yes, even the 2007 Christmas album. No, it didn’t have any alcohol references. All in all, the listening took a little over 15 hours.

I entered this project fairly neutral on Swift and came out, well, not quite a Swiftie, but certainly a fan of her more recent eras. Now, let’s get into the list. Are you …Ready For it?

Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now and Red

Swift’s first four albums contained no references to specific alcoholic drinks. This is unsurprising considering the records came out when Swift was between the ages of 16 and 22. Swift wouldn’t make her first alcohol reference until 2014, with the release of…

1989

On “1989,” Swift, who was 24 at the time of the album’s release, references alcohol in only one song.

“Clean”: “You’re still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can’t wear anymore.”

Reputation

“…Ready For It?”: “Island breeze and lights down low. No one has to know.” Island breeze is a fruity vodka cocktail.

“Gorgeous”: “Whiskey on ice; Sunset and Vine. You’ve ruined my life by not being mine.” The first whiskey reference of Swift’s career! A big moment (to us, anyway).

“Getaway Car”: “I knew it from the first Old Fashioned we were cursed.” Ah, the Old Fashioned: A true classic and probably the most well-known whiskey cocktail. A well-made Old Fashioned truly Hits Different. This is back to back songs on the record referencing whiskey. In her bourbon era?

“King Of My Heart”: “Up on the roof with a schoolgirl crush, drinking beer out of plastic cups.”

“Dress”: “I’m spilling wine in the bathtub. You kiss my face, and we’re both drunk.” We’re seeing a stark tonal shift on “Reputation” compared to the pop star’s first five albums. More booze, more romance, less wide-eyed country gal.

“This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things”: “Jump into the pool from the balcony. Everyone swimming in a Champagne sea.”

Lover

“Paper Rings”: “The wine is cold like the shoulder that I gave you in the street.”

“Death By A Thousand Cuts”: “My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust. Tryna find a part of me you didn’t take up.”

“London Boy”: “And you know I love Springsteen, faded blue jeans, Tennessee whiskey.” “London Boy” seems to be about Alwyn and is chock-full of cheesy British references. This line comes toward the beginning of the song, sort of an “I love America, but this British guy…” thing. Springsteen, faded blue jeans and Tennessee whiskey are three things Swift equates with America, or at least Nashville, where she moved at age 14 with her family to focus on her music career. Here, we have it on record: Taylor Swift loves Tennessee whiskey.

“False God”: “Hell is when I fight with you, but we can patch it up good. Make confessions and we’re begging for forgiveness. Got the wine for you.”

“You Need To Calm Down”: “You are somebody that I don’t know. But you’re takin’ shots at me like it’s Patrón, and I’m just like, damn. It’s 7 a.m.” Another line that doesn’t refer to alcohol in a literal sense. In this case, it’s a simile. Patrón is a popular brand of tequila commonly consumed in shot form.

Folklore

“The 1”: “Rosé flowing with your chosen family. And it would’ve been sweet if it could’ve been me.”

“The Last Great American Dynasty”: “Filled the pool with Champagne and swam with the big names and blew through the money on the boys and the ballet.” This line harkens back to “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” with more swimming in Champagne imagery.

“August”: “August sipped away like a bottle of wine, ’cause you were never mine.”

“This Is Me Trying”: “Pouring out my heart to a stranger, but I didn’t pour the whiskey.”

Evermore

“Willow”: “Lost in your current like a priceless wine.” This refers back to the first line of this verse: “I’m like the water when your ship rolled in that night.” It’s another case of Swift using alcohol as a simile; she’s caught up in the current of this person’s presence — trapped in the riptide. And it appears she feels like she’s drowning, as priceless wine being lost in a current evokes shipwrecks like the Titanic.

“Champagne Problems”: “Champagne problems.”

“Champagne Problems”: “Dom Pérignon you brought it” Dom Pérignon is a brand of Champagne, and Swift sings about Champagne a lot in this song, as you can guess from the title.

“No Body, No Crime”: “Este’s a friend of mine. We meet up every Tuesday night for dinner and a glass of wine.” Este Haim of HAIM, that is. Her and her sisters’ band is featured on this track.

“No Body, No Crime”: “Her husband’s actin’ different, and it smells like infidelity. She says, ‘That ain’t my Merlot on his mouth.'” In this fictional song, Este believes the red on her husband’s lips is not from her merlot — a dark red wine — but presumably from another woman’s lipstick.

“Ivy”: “So tell me to run or dare to sit and watch what we’ll become. And drink my husband’s wine.” On “Ivy,” Swift tells the story of a married woman who falls in love with someone else and has an affair.

“Closure”: “I’m fine with my spite and my tears and my beers and my candles.” This is the first beer reference we’ve gotten since “Reputation.” Swift may not be much of a beer woman.

Midnights

“Maroon”: “‘How’d we end up on the floor, anyway?’ You say. Your roommate’s cheap-ass screw-top Rosé, that’s how.” Screw-top wine: Not typically the best. Should’ve Said No to that one, perhaps.

“Maroon”: “The burgundy on my T-shirt when you splashed your wine into me.” Oof, wine spills are the worst. Shake it off, Taylor.

“Mastermind”: “I’m the wind in our free-flowing sails and the liquor in our cocktails.” You can’t sail without wind, and you can’t have a cocktail without liquor (mocktails don’t count).

“Paris”: “Cheap wine, make believe it’s Champagne.”

“Paris”: “‘Cause we were somewhere else in an alleyway, drinking Champagne.” From make-believe Champagne to real Champagne in the same song. That’s a success story.

Conclusions

All in all, Swift has made 28 specific alcohol references in her work. This isn’t counting references to being or getting drunk or vague, unspecified drink mentions, such as the line “my fourth drink in hand” in “Dear Reader” or “Clink clink” in “Slut!”

Nineteen of the 28 were wine references, so it’s a safe bet that Swift is more of a wine drinker than anything else. However, she’s also sung about whiskey or whiskey cocktails four times, which indicates that perhaps she enjoys a little bourbon or an Old Fashioned from time to time.

Seven of the alcohol lines came on “Evermore,” which is officially Swift’s booziest album. In her drinking era during COVID-19? If there’s one thing we can always count on from this megastar, it’s relatability.

“Evermore” is followed by “Reputation” with six alcohol references, then “Midnights” and “Lover” each with five. “Folklore” is next with four, and finally “1989” with only The 1.

We’ll be sure to update this list with any new alcohol references that appear on “The Tortured Poets Department” or vault tracks on the remaining two “Taylor’s Version” albums.

Until then, Dear Reader.

I went to eras tour last night and I just wanted to give you a full and complete rundown of my experience beyond it completely changed my life and I will never be the same. So:

I honestly had the best experience with getting food - we went to subway and the whole experience only took about 5 minutes. We did eat early (around 4:15pm) though so that might be the key

Getting merch was also quite painless. I’m telling you don’t stand in the lines outside the stadium to get merch, everyone will have been doing the before the doors open. We went in around 5pm (half an hour after doors opened) and got straight in the merch line and we were only waiting for around 20-30mins

I am so sad that I didn’t get to see Sabrina perform her set (but we’ll get back to that later)

It was so funny when Travis came into the stadium cause everyone started screaming. And the video of them afterwards is so cute.

It almost didn’t feel real until I actually saw her (with the weather being the way it was I had real fears of it being cancelled)

‘It’s you and me, that’s my whole world’ - she really did something with that

The way all the bracelets lit up in a rainbow for you need to calm down made my heart soar

Fearless (the song) was absolutely something else and was one of my favourite moments of the night

Her playing the well known songs (love story, ybwm, 22, wanegbt, ikywt, and pretty much all of 1989) was absolutely phenomenal and I know red’s set has been quite contentious in particular but that era was honestly one of my favourites (everyone gets so into them and it’s such a communal experience that the evermore and folklore eras don’t have (and those are two of my favourite albums)

Talking of evermore, for some reason I feel like my knowledge of the set list failed me cause I did not realise that she opened with Tis the damn season (I didn’t really watch any livestreams before hand or the movie cause I wanted to experience it first hand first but I still knew what she sand and some semblance of the order she sang the songs in but for some reason that surprised - the best way possible)

Champagne problems and tolerate are still everything to me. I’m just sad cause I could see her playing champagne problem cause the piano was set up behind one of the light towers that was in my line of sight

I don’t have much to comment on for reputation but I loved it so much

She wore the blue dress for speak now era and I cannot even begin to explain how much that meant to me. Also singing long live with Taylor and a crowd of 86,000 is an experience I will never forget

Back to red era and a little more detail on why I adored it so much - 22 was literally the funnest song of the night (maybe only rivalled by shake it off) and when she gave the hat to the little girl, that I believe had cancer, I literally cried; but then wanegbt was playing and I was like I can’t cry during this; the ‘yeah nah’ in the bridge is iconic; ikywt popped off; and of course we have the woman the myth the moment, a10w and it was everything

I absolute loved folklore but I think by the time it came around people were exhausted. It was the era that a lot of people were sitting down (including me for the one and Betty because it was a lot). August was incredible and her playing the bridge of illicit affairs is everything to me

It was really quite genius of her to put 1988 at the end to pump people back up and I also felt as if it went really quickly cause everyone is anticipating the surprise songs

And now to talk about those surprise songs and the freaking announcement (which there were like no signs for mind you and I think I nearly had a heart attack). I was at this point in time trying to FaceTime my sister and mum so they could see the surprise songs and the connection was so shitty by the way. How you get the girl was chill - not really one of my favourite songs but anything taylor plays is incredible so I had fun. But anyway she moves on to the piano and she starts talking about ttpd which I was like okay, cool (I didn’t really think much of it even then until she started talking about what happens at the Paino - show and tell). And at first I was like surely she’s not going to announce something. And then I was like what if she plays a song from ttpd. These are the absolute manic thoughts running through my head. And then she announced it. And I’m sorry but ‘the albatross’. My mind immediately when to the poem the rime of the ancient mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge cause throughout high school in English I literally used the metaphor of the albatross around the neck in so many of my pieces of writing. Anyway so at this point I am currently dying and then she brings out Sabrina (which I kind of thought would happen since she didn’t get to perform and I was so so grateful for cause I love her dearly). And they talked about kangaroos which was hilarious (I guess they would be kinda weird to people who haven’t seen them before). Anyway so they sing white horse which incredible amazing duet that I will never forget and then THEN they sing the fucking bridge of Coney Island and I think I passed out. I’m like shouting to the friends that I went with that she’s playing Coney Island and I can see my mum and my sister on my phone absolutely laughing their heads off at my freak out. Honestly that was everything to me. I am so sorry to anyone who didn’t get to experience a Taylor swift mashup surprise song cause it is something else entirely.

I think I was honestly still in shock for all of the midnights set but honestly I was one of the greatest nights of my life.

male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it's all a male fantasy: that you're strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. even pretending you aren't catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you're unseen, pretending you have a life of vour own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. you are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. you are your own voyeur. - Margaret Atwood

take care, love love >3

Taylor Swift & Marriage

for all the girlies who are stll somehow convinced that she and joe are secretly engaged or something (and anyone who likes seeing common themes in her songs)

Mary's Song (Oh My My My) (Taylor Swift, 2006)

A few years had gone and come around We were sitting at our favorite spot in town And you looked at me, got down on one knee

Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle Our whole town came and our mamas cried You said "I do" and I did too

i don't even know if i should count this considering it's not about herself, but here is taylor's first mention of getting married.

2. Love Story (Fearless, 2008/Fearless (Taylor's Version), 2021)

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring, and said "Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone I love you and that's all I really know I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes'"

literally the most generic* love song ends in happily ever after with the two getting married.

*i'm not saying that's a bad thing. i love this song. i just don't think it's necessarily about anyone in particular. like with a lot of her songs tbh, you're supposed to think about your own relationship when you listen to it, not hers. that's how she built the whole relatable girl next door persona she was going for at this time

3. Speak Now (Speak Now, 2010)

I am not the kind of girl Who should be rudely barging in on a white-veil occasion But you are not the kind of boy Who should be marrying the wrong girl

i mean, the whole song is about crashing a wedding. i don't know what else there is to say. i do feel the need to point out that taylor never actually crashed a wedding lol. this is fiction.

i think it's funny you she says "you wish it was me" not "i wish it was me" about the bride. taylor doesn't even want to marry the guy; she just doesn't want him to marry someone else. and to be fair, he probably shouldn't be getting married if he still likes someone else.

4. Starlight (Red, 2012/Red (Taylor's Version), 2021)

Ooh-ooh, he's talking crazy Ooh-ooh, dancing with me Ooh-ooh, we could get married Have ten kids and teach 'em how to dream

again, this song isn't even about herself. (unless she's actually immortal or a time traveler, i don't think she was meeting a bobby on the boardwalk in the summer of '45.) (i read somewhere who it's about, but i don't remember and don't really care)

4.5 I Bet You Think About Me (Red (Taylor's Version), 2021)

this song doesn't actually mention marriage, but the music video is a wedding and basically follows the plot of Speak Now

5. Lover (Lover, 2019)

My heart's been borrowed and yours has been blue All's well that ends well to end up with you Swear to be over-dramatic and true to my Lover

plays on "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue", and is written almost like a wedding vow. there's also the 'first dance remix', which is obviously intended to be played at a wedding. i do think it's entirely possible that she thought she might end up marrying the person she was with at this time.

6. Paper Rings (Lover, 2019)

I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings Uh huh, that's right Darling, you're the one I want, and I hate accidents except when we went from friends to this

not the first or last time she mentions her partner having less money than her, but she doesn't care about material things (yeah, ok, tell that to her merch store). she just wants to be with this person. she doesn't need to prove anything to anyone

also, the 'accidents' line is interesting now that we know from Mastermind that they're meeting and getting together wasn't an accident. assuming the two songs are about the same person.

7. It's Nice To Have A Friend (Lover, 2019)

Church bells ring, carry me home Rice on the ground looks like snow

8. the last great american dynasty (folklore, 2020)

The wedding was charming, if a little gauche There's only so far new money goes They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House" Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud The doctor had told him to settle down It must have been her fault his heart gave out

rebekah harkness got married and was widowed in the span of one verse.

9. champagne problems (evermore, 2020)

Sometimes you just don't know the answer 'Til someone's on their knees and asks you "She would've made such a lovely bride What a shame she's fucked in the head," they said But you'll find the real thing instead She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred

this song is about someone rejecting a marriage proposal. i know these songs supposed to be fictional, but if i was her partner, i think i'd be a little concerned that she just spit out 2 breakup albums in one year.

10. coney island (evermore, 2020)

The mischief, the gift wrapped suburban dreams Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring

i don't know how to explain it, but this could be referring to not wanting to be a suburban housewife basically? arcade ring = engagement ring.

11. ivy (evermore, 2020)

I'd live and die for moments that we stole On begged and borrowed time So tell me to run Or dare to sit and watch what we'll become And drink my husband's wine

My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand Taking mine, but it's been promised to another

she's married and having an affair (*cough* with a woman *cough*). could be the other pov from illicit affairs on folklore.

12. cowboy like me (evermore, 2020)

And the ladies lunching have their stories about When you passed through town But that was all before I locked it down

i have thoughts about this song, but i don't know how to put them into words. the only part that references marriage though is the phrase 'locked it down'.

13. right where you left me (evermore, 2020)

Friends break up, friends get married Strangers get born, strangers get buried

Glass shattered on the white cloth Everybody moved on, I, I stayed there Dust collected on my pinned-up hair They expected me to find somewhere Some perspective, but I sat and stared Right where you left me

I'm sure that you got a wife out there Kids and Christmas, but I'm unaware

ok, so this one doesn't explicitly say anything about the singer getting married, but i believe it's the other pov to champagne problems and therefore about a rejected marriage proposal. (the 'glass shattered on the white cloth' is a champagne glass. possibly one that had an engagement ring in it.)

14. it's time to go (evermore, 2020)

Fifteen years, fifteen million tears Begging 'til my knees bled I gave it my all, he gave me nothing at all Then wondered why I left

taylor swift is pro-divorce.

15. Lavender Haze (Midnights, 2022)

All they keep asking me (All they keep asking me) Is if I'm gonna be your bride The only kinda girl they see (Only kinda girl they see) Is a one-night or a wife

taylor said stop asking me when i'm going to get married. (so that's the weird rumors she was referring to... interesting) (also, if you think this song is about joe, maybe look up the phrase 'lavender marriage')

16. Midnight Rain (Midnights, 2022)

He wanted a bride I was making my own name Chasing that fame He stayed the same All of me changed

again saying that she doesn't want to get married and seemingly broke up with someone over it

17. High Infidelity (Midnights, 2022)

Storm coming Good husband Bad omen Dragged my feet right down the aisle

I honestly don't really know what to make of this other than 'wow, this woman really doesn't want to get married.'

honorable mention for the Bejewled music video where she makes it very clear that she has no interest in a 'prince.' she wants the castle.

the only time she has ever really implied that she might want to get married is on Lover. i don't know what happened after that (like, i do, but i don't, you know?), but she clearly has had no interest in getting married since then.

#taylor swift #tsmidnights #lyric analysis #i'm trying to focus on the lyrics and not speculation about her personal life #but you know #i have fallen down a gaylor tiktok rabbit hole #so #anyway these are just unfiltered thoughts from my brain #i'm not trying to claim that i actually know things #i'm just fascinated by the repeated themes throughout her discography

harrow's december reads

hi!! happy end of the year!! my job was spectacularly boring this month and i did a lot of reading while i was working. i don't think i've ever read this many fics in one month, so i'm pretty proud of myself. i've read like 3 from tumblr and they have been reblogged and screamed about and you can check them all out here

i've read some really amazing fics this year and i wish i had kept track of all of them!! 💖💖

here we go:

trust in the weather by melodiusb au:witches - yoongi x namjoon x jimin

Jimin’s heartbeat synced to Namjoon and Yoongi’s in the seconds after the wedding ritual was complete. He can only tell when he focuses that it’s three beats now, instead of one. But it occurs to him, as he’s tripping over a root three feet below the surface, that he’s still alone. Namjoon and Yoongi did this five years ago. Jimin is five years behind them--more, if you count the time they were engaged--and he always will be. And he’s stuck here, and with them, for the rest of his life.

sonámbulo by batman au: inception (movie) - taehyung x jungkook

One painting, one mission, one hundred days.

starving (& other artistic mediums) by TAHC (orphan account) au: college(?) - yoongi x namjoon

It became a permanent thing the next year in August. But neither of them knew it was going to become a permanent thing. To them it just looked like a temporary thing. A slightly permanent, temporary thing. Or; Namjoon and Yoongi are both struggling artists, throw a baby into the mix and they're struggling parents as well. Throw love into the mix and they're just struggling.

the wait by @kkulfm-2 au: the old guard (movie)

When Jungkook takes too long to come back from his latest death, Yoongi begins to spiral.

summer;blue by batman au: witches - taehyung x jungkook

More than you can manage, more than you can hide: a study in light.

up we go by Oh_Hey_Tae au: witches - yoongi x jimin x taehyung

“If you’re a witch that works with plants, then why are all of yours dead? That can’t be good for business.” The room dims again, and Jimin lifts a hand to flip off the ceiling. Taehyung knows he’s sad and that’s why the shop darkens and he shouldn’t find it funny—but he can’t help it. Because this is ridiculous. The good kind of ridiculous. The amazing kind. (Or: Taehyung has a green thumb, Jimin runs a magical store, and Yoongi can kind of see dead people.)

by tomorrow by Oh_Hey_Tae au: college - yoongi x taehyung

“Why are you freaking out now?” Seokjin asks, and the seconds tick by and suddenly the atmosphere shifts. “Ahh, I get it.” Yoongi perks up, swivels, spots Taehyung stepping from the hall into the room and he’s in fitted slacks and the baby blue button-up from earlier and he looks divine. Yoongi’s heart just stopped and he’s not sure how to get it beating again. Namjoon’s a doctor. A doctor in training, but some form of medical professional regardless. Namjoon knows CPR and cardiac arrest symptoms and all that shit. He’ll know Yoongi’s dying. “Perfect timing. Let’s eat.” Or he’s going to wink at Yoongi and send suggestive eyebrow raises the whole night. Great. Fabulous. (Or: Yoongi loves Taehyung and Taehyung loves Yoongi and somewhere along the way they figure that out.)

when night comes by Oh_Hey_Tae au: supernatural/folklore - jungkook x everyone

Jungkook’s tipsy, but he’s not buzzed enough to miss that he doesn’t recognize any of the four dozen people here. And seeing as his friends aren’t ones to ditch and there’s no way they’d play a prank this mean on him, Jungkook reaches the conclusion that he just walked into a stranger’s very expensive home, uninvited, and started eating their food and petting their well-dressed dog. (Or: Jungkook shows up to the wrong Halloween party and meets the most powerful family in Seoul.)

don't go where i can't follow by Black_Ranger (ongoing fic) au: pacific rim - hoseok x jungkook

It's been 4 years, 1 month, and 20 days since he's last set foot inside a jaeger. Jung Hoseok thought he'd outrun his past but it still doggedly haunts him. When monsters keep rising from the deep, the PPDC comes calling for one of their best. Who is he to refuse?

tell me again by Oh_Hey_Tae au: college - yoongi x taehyung

It’s a boy. A boy in a silk pajama set. A boy in a silk pajama set with a nametag too small to read who’s colorfully cursing in the thickest Daegu drawl Yoongi’s heard since he left home and it’s absolutely, without a doubt, the most beautiful sound Yoongi’s ever heard in his life. (Or: Yoongi falls in love with people’s voices and, in consequence, falls in love with Taehyung.)

let the light in by sharpa au: witches - yoongi x jungkook

There is magic in the world, but for years Jungkook has shied away from his gift. (It's intrusive, unwelcome, dangerous.) Now, he's in New York City, battling loneliness and a college course he hates. Until on one particularly bad day, he turns down a side street in East Village and his life changes forever. (Or: six boys run a magical emporium together and Jeon Jungkook is looking for a place to belong.)

steady as the morning by sharpa au: witches - yoongi x jungkook

Seven magical boys and an old house in New York City. (A series of moments set post Let the Light In.)

telepathy by sharpa au: non!idol but still in music - yoongi x hoseok x namjoon

Yoongi can't believe his luck: set up on a blind date with Kim Namjoon, the boy who took part of his heart with him at twenty-three and never gave it back. They haven't spoken in years, since they imploded, and the awkwardness now is soul-crushing—sat across from each other in a trendy Itaewon restaurant with too much and not enough to say. But the gorgeous boy two tables over might change everything.

cardigan [amelia shepherd]

folklore challenge: day 2

amelia shepherd x fem!reader

requested by anon: say no more with the angst! can I request an Amelia angsty one shot where the reader comes in as Jane Doe and Amelia has only seen a glimpse of her bloodied hand when she realizes how severe the situation is. Even thought the rest of the team is busy working on her they let Amelia stay and stroke her hair and try to keep fem!reader calm and responsive since they know it might be their last moment. You can make it so angsty and I love your writing!

*not my gif*

“Amelia, you know the drill, let’s just give her some space. She’s going to be a little groggy as she wakes up,” an unfamiliar voice filled your ears as you stirred awake.

You cringed at the headache that was pounding, “Hey, it’s good to see you,” a brunette girl with beautiful blue eyes told you.

You turned towards a shorter doctor who seemed a little older than the brunette, “Y/N, it’s okay. You’re in the hospital, you were in a car accident. You hit your head, but you’re okay,” you still looked at them with your eyebrows furrowed.

“How are you feeling?” the bright blue eyed woman asked.

“Like I just got hit by a semi,” you told her and she laughed softly.

“Well you kinda did,” the girl said before the shorter doctor gave her a look.

A small grin broke out onto your face, “Was anyone else hurt doctor?” you asked the blue eyed woman.

The shorter woman and the blue eyed one looked at each other, “Y/N, you know who I am right?”

“You’re my doctor?” you said, but it came out as more of a question.

She shook her head, taking the seat next to you, “Um, I’m Amelia, your fiancee,”

You let out a breath, confusion written all over your face. You looked at your hand to see a beautiful ring on your ring finger.

“I loved you? I can’t remember...”

Amelia’s heart stopped as she thought back to this morning. Everything was perfectly normal this morning. You knew who she was this morning.

The smell of coffee filled your nostrils as you started to stir about in bed. You reached your hand over, patting the other side of the bed, and groaned when you found it was empty.

You pulled the covers off of your body and let your bare feet hit the cool wooden floor. You were wearing Amelia's vintage tee and gray sweatpants as you made your way past all the energetic kids getting ready for school and towards the kitchen.

"Good morning Y/N!" Zola said as she ran past you.

"Morning," you mumbled, "Have a good day at school kids,"

"Bye Y/N!" Meredith's three kids yelled as they ran out of the house.

You finally turned into the kitchen to see your girlfriend pouring her coffee into her to-go cup. She was dressed up all fancy in heels and everything.

You stood up behind her, wrapping your arms around her waist before placing a soft lingering kiss on her jawline. Your heart skipped a beat when she let out a contented sigh, "Good morning, big conference today?"

"Good morning and yes sadly, trust me I'd much rather stay in bed especially after the special night we had last night," she turned around in your arms, placing a kiss to your lips.

Amelia grabbed your hand, "Where's your ring?" she asked.

"I thought we were keeping it a secret for now?" you asked her.

"We are, but there's no one here anymore. You can wear it and flaunt it off in front of me," she told you, a sheepish smile on her face.

You ran back to your room to grab the ring that was on your bedside table. You smiled at it before sliding it onto your ring finger as you made your way back to Amelia.

"Ah perfect," Amelia said, looking at you wearing your ring, "Soon we're going to be Mrs. and Mrs. Y/L/N-Shepherd,"

"I can't wait," you murmured, wrapping your arms around her neck and pulling her into a deep kiss. She wrapped her arms around your waist, pulling you unbelievably closer.

The kiss grew more and more passionate, your hands playing with the hair in the nape of her neck. Her hands that were once around your waist were now moving slightly lower, "Amelia are you ready to-oh God!" Maggie's voice rang out.

You left your arms around Amelia's neck, hiding the new ring she got you last night, "Yeah, yeah I'm ready," she placed on more quick kiss to your lips.

"Good morning Maggie," you told her, your hands behind your back.

"Good morning Y/N, sorry to interrupt," she told you and you laughed softly.

"No worries, we'll continue it later," you shot Amelia a wink as Maggie's face twisted into disgust.

Amelia sent you a smirk, "TMI! Come on guys!"

You let out a roar of laughter before using your right hand to wave them off, "Have a good day,"

Amelia cleared her throat before standing up from the chair, “Excuse me,”

“Amelia-” the shorter doctor shouted before running after her down the hallway.

She finally caught up to Amelia who locked herself in a supply closet, “You said everything looked good!”

“It did! Koracick made sure he took away all of her brain bleeds, but you know more than anyone else here that the brain isn’t like a broken bone! It’s complicated!” Dr. Bailey told her.

Amelia aggressively wiped away her tears. She nodded, “She doesn’t remember me! The love of my life! My childhood sweetheart! She doesn’t remember!” she shouted.

“Why don’t you take the day off?” Dr. Bailey whispered, “She’s gonna need you more than anything,”

Dr. Bailey left the room as Amelia slid onto the ground. Her back up against the door as she curled her knees up to her chest. She let the sobs wreck her entire body.

All the memories they shared together. All the good and the bad times. The secret moments. All of that was shared between two people and now it’s only shared in one.

“C’mon Y/N, let’s get you home,” Amelia told you as you stumbled away from Jo and Alex’s wedding.

She wrapped a protective arm around your waist as she pulled you closer. You drunkenly stopped in your tracks, looking up at her. The music from the party behind you echoed towards the two of you, “Dance with me please. It’s my favorite song,”

You wrapped your arms around her neck. She smiled at you as you just started to sway, “Only one dance,”

The two of you swayed silently as the song played out, “Do you think our wedding will be as eventful as their’s?”

“You wanna marry me?” Amelia asked.

You looked at her like she grew two heads, “I’ve wanted to marry you since we were little kids playing hide and seek and having sleepover on the weekends. It’s always been you, Amelia,”

“I love you Y/N,” she whispered, pressing a kiss to your forehead.

Days went by and you were doing better. Everything was doing better except for your memory.

Amelia was a wreck everyone could tell. She barely went into work and when she did she made other people do her surgeries. She didn’t eat or sleep. It was hard to when the person she loved the most doesn’t even remember her.

She just kept thinking, how the hell did they get here.

“So you and Y/N had a good night last night?” Maggie asked as the two were walking the halls of Grey Sloan.

Amelia had a small smile on her face, “You could say that, yeah,”

“What’s that smile?!” Maggie exclaimed nudging her shoulder.

“No one’s supposed to know this yet, but Y/N and I are engaged!” Amelia whisper-yelled.

She squealed in response, tackling her in a hug, “Oh my gosh! I am so happy for you two!”

She was about to respond when she felt a buzz in her pager. Before she could check hers, Maggie’s went off as well. The two of them reading the pagers before running off towards the trauma center.

“What do we got?” Amelia asked, Owen as her, Maggie, Bailey, and Link slide up next to him.

“Jane Doe, she was hit by a semi. The truck driver apparently lost control of the semi and went flying towards the intersection,” he tells them and they all nod.

“Is she conscious?” Bailey asked.

“She’s been in and out,”

As if right on the cue the ambulance stopped in front of the trauma doors. The paramedics wheeling the gurney out and towards all of you. They immediately brought the Jane Doe to the trauma room.

Amelia, shined her bright flashlight into the Jane Doe’s eyes. The eyes looking vaguely familiar, but she quickly shrugged it off. Link started inspecting her broken leg. While Bailey and Maggie were looking over her vitals.

It wasn’t until Amelia’s eyes landed on Jane Doe’s hand. Her left hand had dry blood all over it, but the one thing that stood out the most was the ring that was on her finger. The ring that Amelia got custom made.

She immediately looked back into your eyes to see you were already look at her. You opened the palm of your hand and extended it out towards her. Amelia gasped as she dropped her flashlight.

“What? What’s wrong?” Owen asked.

“Page Koracick,” she said, immediately grasping for your hand.

“What? Why?”

Everyone stopped what they were doing and just stared at her, “Because it’s Y/N,”

And with those three words, Owen stopped what he was doing and paged him. Amelia took the stool and placed it next to where your head laid. She took her fingers and let out a shaky breath before running her hands through your hair.

“Hi love,” she whispered to you. You let out a small smile, physically in pain at just the simple gesture, “You’re going to be okay, okay?”

Tom came bursting into the room with his trauma gown on, “Hey Y/N! How are you doing today?” he asked as he made his way up to where you could see him, “Right, that was a bad question. I’m gonna run a couple tests on you, okay?”

He walked back down to where your feet were, “Alright can you please wiggle your toes for me?” You tried moving your toes with all of your might, “Great, you’re doing great Y/N,”

Amelia looked at him expectedly and he just shook his head. She let out a shaky breath, placing a kiss to your forehead.

“We’re gonna get her in for a head CT,” Tom said, but before he could wheel you out your eyes rolled to the back of your head, as you faded from consciousness.

“Y/N! Y/N, baby come on!” the younger Shepherd begged. Her bright blue eyes shifted towards your monitor to see what the problem was.

“Her pressure’s bottoming out!” Maggie said.

“We need to get her to the OR now!”

Amelia came back to reality as you asked her a question, “So I live with you and Meredith and all of her kids?”

“Yeah, but you spend so much time in your office that Link built for you in the backyard that you’re barely inside,” she teased and you smiled.

“Why did Link build me an office outside?” you asked.

“Well you’re working on your first manuscript for your novel. You always joke and complain about how loud the kids are, so finally for your birthday Link built you an office,” Amelia told you, “I’ll show it to you when we get to the house,”

She led you to the backyard where you were in a quaint office. The office had sticky notes plastered all over the walls. Amelia pulled out the chair that was behind the typewriter, “You were always into vintage stuff, so instead of getting a laptop like a normal person, you bought yourself a typewriter.”

You sat down into the seat to see the words of the leftover manuscript that wasn’t finished. There were more pages down on the desk. Your supposed fiancee pressed a button on the remote which caused loud music to blast from the speakers.

You felt your hands start to shake as the words that were in front of you were just a stranger’s words that were supposed to be your own. The music started to cause a pounding in your head.

“I would always be in such awe on how you focused like that. You always complained about the kids, but the music that blasted filled you with inspiration. It’s like words would just flow out of you. It was so-” Amelia went on and on.

“God damnit! Please lower the music! It’s giving me a headache!” you yelled, taking her back by surprise.

Amelia lowered the music and then slammed the remote on the ground, “I am trying to help you!” she screamed back at you.

She lowered her voice, “But I am not your punching bag. We don’t talk to each other like this! Even when we were little kids we never yelled at each other like this. I know this is hard for you, but this hard for me too,”

She stormed back into the house slamming her hand into the kitchen table. Her eyes filled with tears. She let out a sigh before looking at the beautiful messy finger painting.

Amelia sighed after a long day of endless surgeries. All she wanted to do was wrap you in your arms and hold you tight and just go to bed. But before she could go she heard loud laughter coming from the kitchen.

She saw you with little yellow finger painted onto your face. Ellis’ hand stained yellow as the wooden table underneath the two of you were dressed with paint. Zola and Bailey were working on their own and it was a lot less messy.

“So, what’s going on here?” Amelia asked and all four of you shot your head up scared.

“Arts and crafts,” you told her proudly.

She laughed, “You know if Meredith comes home and sees the mess she’s gonna be pissed,”

You lifted Ellis off your lap before making your way over to her. You kissed her softly. Just as she walked away from you, you grabbed her face and kissed her more and more.

Amelia let out a gasp before grabbing the paintbrush and brushed more paint onto my face. You gasped before spreading more and more paint all over her. She finally ran out into the backyard with you following suit.

You finally caught up to her and wrapped your arms around her waist. She let out a squeal as you put more and more paint on her face. The two of you tripped over each other’s feet and fell onto the ground.

She moved the hair away from your face and kissed you, “You have something all over your face,” you pointed around her face and she laughed softly.

“And you two got paint all over my kitchen,” Meredith said, her arms crossed.

“We’ll clean it up,” you told her.

The kids were standing next to her smiling sheepishly, “Oh I know you will, but you should probably hose yourself down,”

With the help of the kids she lifts up a paint bucket and pours it all over the two of you. Amelia’s hand went to her pocket, her hands grazing, protecting the box that in her hands. The box that held her entire future.

Things with you didn’t get better. The two of you were in yet another argument over how this thing wasn’t working.

“I’ve been driving myself insane making a complete ass of myself! While I’m trying to do everything I can to try and save this...to save us!” she screamed.

You let out a breath, “Look, I’m sorry. I’m not trying to hurt you,” you whispered, “I’m just so tired of disappointing you,”

“I know,” she whispered.

“I’m so sorry. I just think it’ll be best if I go back to New York, spend some time with my family,” you told her.

“Okay,” was all she said before walking away.

You were about to step onto the last train to New York. When you heard a familiar voice come running towards you, “Y/N! Y/N wait!”

Link was running towards you with a portfolio in your hand, “I know you’re not writing anymore, but it seemed like a waste if all of these months of work were going to leave,”

“Thank you,”

As you stepped onto the last train, Amelia was sitting in your once shared bedroom. She was wearing your hoodie that was stashed in her closet. She held it close to her taking in your scent.

Tears falling down her cheeks. She looked at the ring that she fiddled in her hand. Everyone from her childhood has left her, was she the problem?

Her mother and other sisters thought that she was a disappointment.

Addison is in Los Angeles.

Mark is dead.

Her father is dead.

Derek is dead.

Your love for her and your friendship with her is dead. It left just as quickly as a father would. And it ran just like running water. She threw the ring against the wall before burying herself in her sheets.

You were reading the manuscript when all of a sudden a letter stopped you in your tracks:

Dear Y/N,

My whole life everyone has left me or they’ve died. You were the only person who has ever stood by my side through it all.

For the first time in my life, you made me feel like I belonged somewhere, and that place was by your side.

From there, you introduced me to things I never dreamed of, and you showed me what it means to be loved unconditionally.

Without you, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. You are my best friend and the love of my life. Thank you.

That was when your brain pieced together everything else.

You looked up from the letter to see Amelia on one knee in the backyard. She looked at you with a small smile and teary eyes.

“Everything in that letter I meant. I love you so much and I can’t imagine doing my life without you. So if you please Y/N do me the great honor and marry me,” she whispered.

It was your turn for your eyes to tear up, but you nodded and smiled at her, “I would love that,”

You looked up from your seat on the train and ran out of the doors. You saw the familiar blonde hair as you made your way towards the parking lot.

“Link! Link wait!” you shouted, catching his attention. He turned to you with his eyebrows furrowed, “Can you take me back to my future wife please?”

“Wait do you-”

You nodded, “I remember Link, everything,”

He wrapped his arms around you and spun you around. The two of you packed into the car and he sped towards Meredith’s. You knocked on the door, the only light coming from the house was the dim porch light.

You paced back and forth before she opened the door, “Y/N? What are you doing here?”

You took her face in your hands and pulled her in for a long lingering kiss. She pulled away breathless, her eyes filled with hope, “You can’t get rid of me that easily,” you whispered.

“I knew you’d come back to me,” she whispered back before kissing you even harder than before.
