#til the storm comes and the world is quiet

[ginnsbaker]

shattered (drabble)

Summary: Yelena learns about you moving on for good through a phone call.

Word count: 1.3K | A/N: Set in the ILGOSS universe, this one was suggested by @canvascoloredin; not sure if this counts as drabble, but there's really no other context here than Yelena finding out you're getting married to Wanda.

A direct sequel also to Rivers and Roads Til I Reach You

Masterlist

-

She finds out about it right in the middle of a casual hookup.

Yelena’s small apartment located in a rural section of Leeds is quiet, lit only by the yellow light of the street lamp outside her window. She'd brought him home from the bar—dark hair, sharp jaw, and a wit that kept up with hers. Names hadn't mattered; their chemistry spoke for itself. But as they are tangled on the couch, fervently exploring one another, her cell phone begins to ring persistently from the coffee table.

At first, she tries to ignore it, her lips not leaving his for more than a breath. But when it starts ringing for the third time in a row, she groans in frustration, pulling away.

“Sorry,” she pants, “Just... give me a second.”

Expecting perhaps a miscall, the name flashing on the screen siphons the breath from her lungs. Natasha. Immediate and family, requiring her attention even amidst the haze of…whatever it is she’s been doing with these strangers for the past few years. Apologies form a tight lump in her throat as she delicately extricates herself from the man’s grasp, scooping up the phone with a trembling hand. 

“Nat?”

Whatever she's expecting, it isn't a ghost from six years past being thrust back into her present. An abyss opens up beneath her, swallowing the words she might have formed in reply. The man, mere feet away, dissolves into nothing—because he’s nothing. Compared to you, he means nothing. None of them ever mattered to her as much as you did—still do. Even if her connection to you has been silent, a chapter she’d folded neatly away into a corner of her mind, trying to erase the memory of tears staining long-distance calls to New York.

“Yelena are you there?”

It takes two more seconds for Yelena to collect herself. “Y-Yes…”

“I said Y/N’s getting married,” Natasha says.

The numbness that enveloped her shatters suddenly by a biting sensation at her earlobe. The man, perhaps thinking the call isn’t of importance, tries to recapture her attention by nibbling at her. In an unexpected, almost involuntary reaction, Yelena pushes violently against his chest. The force sends him stumbling off the bed, surprise coloring his widened eyes.

“Hey! What the hell?” He exclaims, humiliation etching across his face. For a second, Yelena's gaze flits to him, seeing but not really registering his indignation. The burning gravity of the revelation about you consumes all her thoughts.

His anger brews as he hastily gathers his belongings. He shoots her one last incensed look before storming out of her apartment, slamming the door behind him.

Yelena just stands there, phone still pressed to her ear.

There’s silence on the other end of the line before Natasha's voice filters through, softer now, even though she has no idea of the impact of what she’s just revealed. “Lena, are you okay?”

But how can she be?

“When?”

“When what?” Natasha responds, genuinely puzzled by the abrupt question.

It’s then that Yelena realizes how deep into her own world she's drifted. She clears her throat, the words forming barely above a whisper, “When are Y/N and her fiancé getting married?”

There's a pause, and Yelena can almost picture Natasha's brow furrowed in mild confusion. “Lena,” Natasha finally begins gently, “I was asking when you’re coming home. You should be here for the big moments, don't you think?”

Home. A term that has morphed and twisted in meaning for Yelena over the years, especially since you became part of her past. And even in its twisted meaning, she still envisions home as being exclusively you and her sister.

Yelena swallows hard. “I don’t know, Natasha. I haven’t thought about home in a long time.”

“But you should think about it. You've missed so much, and we've missed you,” Natasha persists, her voice threading through the line with an edge of vulnerability that's rare for her.

“Nat, I—”

“And don’t you think it’s time to tell me?” Natasha asks, exasperatedly.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Natasha snorts, the sound failing to get a rise out of Yelena, who continues to stay quiet.

“Come on, Yelena,” Natasha presses. “You think I wouldn’t notice? Ever since you left for the UK, every time Y/N comes up in conversation, you shut down. Why do you do that? Why won't you talk about what happened?”

Yelena grips the phone tighter, feeling as if she's been cornered. She hasn’t ever really talked about it, not with anyone. Because doing so would mean facing the fact that she chose to leave you behind. And now you’re planning to live the rest of your life with someone else.

“I just...” Yelena starts, her voice trembling. “It's in the past, Natasha. What’s the point in bringing it up now?”

“Because,” Natasha says. “It’s clear it still affects you. And maybe if you talked about it, let it out, you'd feel better. Holding onto it hasn’t done you any favors.”

Yelena sighs. “Fine. But you have to promise me you won’t say a thing to Y/N.”

When all has been said, her story ends just as it did when it actually happened: with tear tracks on her cheeks, trouble breathing, her hands shaking, and her eyes swollen and red.

Natasha doesn't say anything the entire time she's pouring her heart out, with only her steady breathing confirming her presence on the other line.

“I’m sorry,” Yelena whispers, her voice choked up, “I didn’t mean to unload all of this on you.”

“I love you,” Natasha says softly, filling the silence. “And I want you to come home, to be with us. But now that I’ve heard everything… I understand if you can’t. I understand if it's too much.”

“Does it get better?”

“I… I don’t know. Maybe. It has to.”

The call ends abruptly, with neither of them saying another word. The phone slips from her hand, landing with a muffled thud on the carpet below. Her gaze lifts, scanning the surroundings of her apartment—her sanctuary. A place she had built from the ground up when everything else in her life seemed to be crumbling. The well-kept shelves, the carefully selected art pieces, the sofa that had cradled her through many solitary evenings.

And yet, despite the comfort her sanctuary has provided, it has never been able to shield her entirely from the bouts of loneliness that creep in, often in the stillness of the night. Now, as she stands in the center of it, Yelena realizes that those earlier moments of isolation were mere ripples compared to the tsunami engulfing her now.

She wraps her arms around herself, wandering to the window, and peering into the night. After this, she doesn’t know if she’ll ever find the strength in her to come home. She’s deluded herself into believing that when she comes back, you’d still be there waiting for her. Those dreams of returning to a world where you'd be waiting for her, where everything would magically revert to the way it was, now seem like fantasies. Perhaps they always were. She had crafted them as a lifeline, a comforting illusion to help her cope with the loneliness and the consequences of the decisions she’s made.

But tonight, reality has shattered that illusion. She’s been strong for so long, building barriers and facades, and in this moment, the façade wavers. Had she known that the last ‘I love you’ spoken between you would truly be the last, would she have said more? Fought harder? Stayed?

She’s left with the bitter acknowledgment that sometimes love stories, no matter how epic, don’t always have the resolution we crave. Sometimes they simply end, fading away in the unsaid and undone.

She lingers by the window a while longer, lost in her heartache, before finally turning away.

Is there like a holy grail of fanfic that you've read?

This is really hard to answer because I've read a lot of fics that I think are holy grails. I made a post similar to this question with some of my favorite writers and fics here:

But the list has definitely expanded.

Everything by @panthera-tigris-venenata. But some of my all time favorites, "A wedding on the Lost Revenge," "Your siblings are dead, CJ. I’m so sorry," "First Touch Lingers," "Paint my nails," and honestly all her chapter fics.

I LOVE "Guardian of my heart" by lollypop21

"For All the Places I Have Been (I’m No Place Without You)" by tabbycatssidy. It's fluffy Huma which I could read all day.

"Til the Storm Comes, and the World is Quiet" by elphaba_swan

"Ultimate Tragedy" by Eloras_Headcanons

Rosie2009 fics are like comfort fics to me. I re-read them a lot honestly. My favorite, maybe "A Pirate in Gentleman's Clothing" because it's huma

"Just an Ordinary Day in the Life of an Auradonian Pirate" by Arro_Sohng is cute

"Lost Girl" by dragons_SRSunn is really well done.

"Pirate Goddess" by NocturnaIV 😍

Ahhh I could actually go on forever. I love fanfic, it is my heart and soul, and I love all these wonderful writers. Most of them have a lot of other stories that are really good too, these are all on AO3 btw.

#thanks for the ask #this is a very short list #but i can't go on forever #huma #disneys descendants

North Star Series

Chapter 37 - The Gathering Storm

Start here:

Summary: The war intensifies. Fred makes a surprising decision.

Warnings: mentions of people going missing

~•~

The Burrow was a place of chatter, of laughter, of the tinkling of glasses and the clatter of dinnerware.

Of joy.

But tonight, it lay in silence. A sense of dread twisted in the pit of Y/N's gut, and she reached for George's hand at the same time he reached for hers.

Familiar, safe, warm.

It was difficult to believe that less than a week ago, the two of them had walked down Diagon Alley with barely a care in the world.

~•~

At first, it began as most rumors do. Whispers on the wind, stories of people disappearing that not even friends of friends of friends knew. A few missing person posters appeared on Diagon Alley. Still, it was no one anyone knew. Then an old school mate of Bill's went missing.

Followed by someone else they knew.

And then another.

And another.

And another.

They could no longer pretend that it could never happen to them.

The war had become real. It'd become personal.

~•~

Mr. Weasley cleared his throat. "We're not here tonight to talk about plans or strategies. We're here because any one of us could be next."

"Those of us who lived through the first war saw this coming when the first missing people were confirmed a few weeks ago," Alaister Moody elaborated. "What we didn't expect was how quickly it would escalate."

"It didn't happen like this the first time," Lupin added. "It wasn't until the last few months of the war that they were kidnapping people at this rate."

"They're being proactive this time," George commented.

Lupin nodded. "Seems to be the case."

"So, what happens now?" Y/N asked.

"We're going to be proactive too," Arthur said.

"More like reactive," Moody grumbled. "Just like the first time, only sooner."

Mr. Weasley cut his eyes over to him but continued on undeterred. "From this point forward, we don't want anyone going anywhere alone. This includes apparating and using the floo system. You never know what you might be walking into."

"Last I checked," Fred spoke. "They're grabbing people off the streets, not kidnapping them from their homes."

"Yet," Lupin said. "But it's only a matter of time."

~•~

One week later

Y/N and George apparated back to the apartment after dinner at The Leaky Cauldron to find a quiet and sullen Fred sitting on the sofa.

"Hey mate," George said. "Didn't expect you back til tomorrow."

"I'm not interrupting your plans, am I?" He mumbled.

George and Y/N shared a look. "Of course not," Y/N said.

"Everything ok, Freddie?" George asked.

Fred took a swig of firewhiskey. And it was only then that they realized he'd downed half the new bottle they purchased yesterday.

"I broke up with Angie."

"What??" George and Y/N stared down at the older twin, who still refused to look at either of them.

"Why?" Y/N sat down on his right while George took the left. "What happened?"

Fred shrugged. "Nothing. She's just better off."

George reached over and took the bottle from Fred's hands. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about me, the Order, the war!" He shouted, finally looking at his brother. "Everything." His voice grew softer as he stood and crossed to the window. "I don't want to put her at any more risk than she already is."

Memories of a similar conversation with George flitted through Y/N's mind. "What does Angie think about all this?" She asked.

"She's pissed," Fred sighed. "And upset."

'And rightfully so,' Y/N thought.

"Freddie, um," George began. "Maybe you should think about this before - "

"I have thought about," Fred cut in. "I've thought about it all week. If I'm a target, she is, too. The further away she is from me, the better."

"But - " George began again.

"No!" Fred cut him off again. "I know where you're going with this and it's not going to work. As soon as I told her about the Order's new rules, she stopped arguing." Fred flopped down onto the window seat. "Don't you get it? Angie can't live like that. She won't live like that. She's not going to give up her independence for anyone or anything."

George opened his mouth, then closed it again. Y/N reached out and touched his arm gently. "Should I go?" She mouthed.

He sighed, chewing on his lip for a moment, then slowly nodded his head.

"I think I'll leave the two of you to talk," she announced and gave George a quick kiss. "Good luck," she whispered, then hurried off to their bedroom.

~•~

Y/N was already asleep by the time George shuffled into the bedroom sometime around 2 am. Rather than immediately collapsing, as he normally would, he sat next to his unconscious girlfriend, marveling at how deeply she slept. Unlike him, who'd wake up at the slightest sound, the woman could sleep through anything. He'd once joked that he could set off a whole box of whizbangs in the bedroom, and the most she'd do would probably be to roll over.

After a few minutes, he rose and walked over to his dresser, and pulled out a small box from the top drawer. He opened it up and gazed at the contents within.

George had planned on giving it to Y/N once the war was over, but now, with the darkness closing in combined with Fred's relationship falling apart, a certain urgency rose up within him. He looked back at Y/N, who hadn't moved an inch before returning the box back to the drawer, his mum's words replaying in his head.

~•~

"It's all this uncertainty with You-Know-Who coming back, people think they might be dead tomorrow, so they're rushing all sorts of decisions they'd normally take time over. It was the same last time he was powerful, people eloping left, right, and centre —"

[bnesszai]

Potion for Love by AURORA for any ship please!

"any ship". Well, I'm a basic bitch, so--

When I lay in your arms and our worlds can collide

Into one atmosphere, we are here 'til we're not

Dazai is sixteen.

The Mafia is like a home he never asked for, drenching him in blood and despair and death. So much death, but never his own, despite his best attempts.

He hates most days. He hates the feel of air in his lungs and of cloth on his skin. He hates when anyone tries to help clean him up after a mission. He hates opening his eyes and realizing that he has, again, survived.

There are a few things he doesn't hate, though. Even if he claims to loathe the existence of a certain gravity manipulator, he can recognize obsession when it settles into his bones. Chuua knows how to get under his skin, but he also knows how to understand what Dazai is thinking without Dazai having to say anything. That, at least, is reassuring.

Terrifying, but reassuring.

Right now, for reasons he can't begin to piece together, Chuuya is snoring, arm thrown across Dazai's waist, head cushioned on Dazai's arm. Said arm has fallen asleep long ago, but Dazai can't find it in himself to move. He isn't sure how they got here.

What he is sure of is that when Chuuya wakes up, Dazai won't be there.

~

When I see you again as a stranger or a friend

Could you give me a kiss from the past?

Make it soft, make it last like a lake in a glass

Like an endless reminder of us

Dazai is twenty-two.

He sees Chuuya again. Something pulls at his chest, something akin to longing, or maybe to fear. Chuuya, for his part, looks equal parts relieved, bitter, and sad, of all things.

Chuuya gets close and Dazai feels the ghost of their past across his lips.

~

I recall our minds being strange and alike

You were quiet at most, I would watch and explode

With a storm in my mind, you would understand why

They all name hurricanes after us

Dazai is seventeen.

He has seen Chuuya's corruption many times. It never stops being a hauntingly beautiful thing. The aftermath is less so.

"Dazai," Chuuya murmurs.

Hmm?" Dazai threads his fingers through Chuuya's hair.

"We have to go."

"No," Dazai says. He's already reported back to Mori and Kouyou. Hirotsu is nearby, ready when they need him, but always pliant to Dazai's whims. "You can rest here."

"The ground fuckin' hurts," Chuuya coughs blood onto Dazai's lap.

"You can't move like this. Rest. I'll carry you in a bit."

There's a hesitation. Chuuya shifts, hisses, and then becomes dead weight. "Promise?"

"Always."

~

When I see you again as a stranger or a friend

I will give you a kiss from the past

I will send you away, hoping you'll be okay

With a piece of your heart living in mine

Dazai is twenty-three.

He pulls Chuuya in. A selfish moment. An entire day of walking side by side, of teasing remarks, of soft looks that no one would ever expect from either of them. An entire night wrapped together, tumbling through sheets, whispered confessions into the darkness.

And then, Dazai pushes Chuuya away.

~

I don't feel love anymore

And how it hurts when you walked out of the door

Forgetting why we fell in love hurts me the most

Dazai is eighteen.

Oda has died in his arms.

Dazai disappears without a word.

~

I don't feel love anymore

And how it hurts when you walk out of the door

Forgetting why we fell in love hurts me the most

Dazai is twenty-four.

The note has two teardrops on it when he sets it on the table. He wonders what the recipient will think, but then decides he is no longer privy to such things. The empty pill bottle clatters out of his hand as the tremors set in. The whiskey bottle in his other hand comes back up to his lips.

A kiss of death.

#WHEW okay #thank you for this random prompt! #never had heard the song but it is very good #i tried to keep this from getting insanely long but #yeah #here ya go #Rohini #hope you requested it cuz you wanted pain #ness writes #hurt/no comfort #bsd #skk #tw implied suicide attempt #angst war 🔪

@kydoesthings1 asked me to also share my McGae playlist and it's honestly... not long, but here's my favourites for them! feat. ridiculously mainstream artists, don't @ me......

Don't You Dare Forget The Sun by Get Scared

You're a mess, tangled with your confidence You think you haven't sinned Well, you're unstoppable Your walls are impassible, oh Oh, I think you're better off looking alone 'Cause the boys that chase your hips can just go find their way home And at the end of the day you think to yourself "My body is a product being sold on a shelf" [...] You look down on, me so casually In everything I know You look down on me, but not right at me Did I wreck this broken home?

This one is just my Nr. 1 McGillis song.

One Little Soldier by Regina Spektor

Did you think you'd get to run the world forever? Little soldiers fighting loyal by your side That you’d get to play the role of grand commander Never questioning your motives or your pride [...] Did you want me as your whore or your Madonna? Did you want me to stay quiet or get loud? Did you want me in bright lights or in your shadow? Did you want me 'cause you knew I'd draw a crowd?

This one's just a Vidar song to me.

The Quiet by Imogen Heap

In the time that it takes for a smile to cross the room In the time that it takes to be finally understood In the time that it takes from being one of us to two Is the time it takes to make the break to win at life Again Stargazer, storm chaser Bought for dust, sold for gold But will the true cost ever be known? Can I even begin To comprehend what you must've been through? You're still tunneling dirt To escape the hurt

Another Gaelio POV song!

Stay from Amélie The Musical

I'll make you count to one hundred so I have a good chance to hide Don't expect me to play fair Move and I'll move even deeper inside I like you right there [...] Stay where you are Safe in a frame Try to move closer, you'll only get halfway Pin down your heart, put out the flame Don't come any closer but don't move away Stay where you are, Stay, where you are Safe in a frame

Maybe my wildest choice for a McGillis POV song but... Look. LOOK.

Hoax by Taylor Swift

My only one My smoking gun My eclipsed sun This has broken me down My twisted knife My sleepless night My winless fight This has frozen my ground Stood on the cliffside screaming, "Give me a reason" Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in Don't want no other shade of blue but you No other sadness in the world would do

I'm sorry to assign a swift song to Gaelio. But look.

Graveyard by Halsey

It's crazy when The thing you love the most is the detriment Let that sink in You can think again When the hand you wanna hold is a weapon and You're nothing but skin Oh, 'cause I keep diggin' myself down deeper I won't stop 'til I get where you are I keep running, I keep running, I keep running

Gaelio to Vidar transition is real here.... I have an AMV started to this one, maybe one day I'll finish.

why do you like summer? you like the heat?

I do like the warmth! I mean, I told myself to like it. Whenever the heat becomes unbearable, I simply think about how cold and awful the winter is, and it makes me grateful for the sun. But obviously it's not the temperature that I admire about summer. It's the green flora, the roses, cute summer dresses and straw hats. It's picnics, butterflies, swimming in the sea, sunrises, sudden storms and the smell of rain. Everything seems so full of color and life, and so am I. Most of all I love the nights that come after a long, hot day. When it's still very warm, but so dark, peaceful and quiet. I have the tendency to spend the entire night, from dusk til dawn, outside in the world during these times. Summer nights are for wandering around town without any purpose, telling each other your entire life stories, forgetting about the passing of time, laughing till it hurts, getting drunk and dancing in the middle of the street, writing poems, collecting bouquets, watching stars appear after sunset and the moon rising above the sea, breaking into gardens to take pictures of dew-covered flowers, seeing wild boars and foxes visiting the city, asking perseids for wishes, feeling inspired and on top of the world that is just yours, belonging to you and being one with you, at the early morning hours when no soul is awake. I'm addicted to those nights and most wonderful pink sunrises after them. I go to bed when other people awaken and I sleep, unaware of the rush and noise. I wake up feeling mystical, put on my prettiest dress and wait for the sunset again.

Here’s the roundup for July 2022!

Remember to leave kudos and comments if you check these out.

🍃 In the midst of a storm by @quelsentiment​​​ --- [fic post]

ot5 | 54k | mature

Zayn didn’t know that a new story was about to unfold right in front of his eyes. If he had known, maybe he wouldn't have been so quick to claim that his life was quiet and uneventful, even verging on boring at times. If he had known, it was hard to say whether he would have stayed in bed that day, kept the bookshop closed, and avoided all that was to come or, on the contrary, gone to the pier himself to greet the newcomer with eagerness.

🍃 house of stone, your ivy grows by edensrose

louis x mads mikkelsen | 16k | explicit

loosely based on the movie "a royal affair". Louis is a lonely queen married to an odious and imopotent king. Everything changes when he meets the new royal physician.

🍃 It Always Comes Back To You by lanaisnotjoking

zayn x liam | 8k | not rated

Liam and Zayn have known each other (and been friends) for forever. As they get older, something shifts and they drift apart. Or, more accurately, don't acknowledge their changing feelings for each other. Along the way Liam meets his best friend, Louis, who guides him through a cheating scandal and his newfound love interest all while managing to find a love of his own. Zayn and Liam aren't close anymore. But they'll always come back to each other, right?

🍃  The night we met changed everything by madlylarrieziam

zayn x liam | 6k | general audiences

A cute little one shot of Zayn Malik having crush on first sight at  JB haired Liam Payne!

🍃 I See Your Face by SchwarzwalderKirschtorte

zayn x harry | 6k | teen and up

Smirking at his own wit, he grabs a pencil from the overfilled mug. The mention of artistic opportunities was why he took this job, but it turns out it’s mostly emails and bad coffee and pointless phone calls. With twenty minutes to fill before he needs to go over the numbers, he lets the pencil roam over the paper, not consciously planning what to draw. When he glances down, it’s him again - the man from his dreams.

Maybe the man of his dreams.

Although Zayn isn’t sure if he’s actually seen him - a stranger on the street perhaps - or invented him, he’s constantly trying to capture him.There’s a mischievous sparkle in those eyes, eyes so green that he knows he can’t recreate them with a few colouring pencils, and he hasn’t found a way to replicate the softness of those lips, always wet and inviting. Gazing at his own rough sketches, he feels a bead of sweat slide down into the hollow of his throat. It’s too hot.

🍃 Waiting for you by madlylarrieziam

zayn x liam | 6k | general audiences

Stating the obvious, but unrequited feelings suck. Some might say it's beautiful in a way, but Zayn would love to punch that person in the face. They suck no matter what.

An au where Zayn's helplessly in love with Liam Oblivious Payne

🍃 Searching for a Paradise by @quelsentiment​​​ --- [fic post]

zayn x harry | 5k | teen and up

🍃 Perfect Now by Emgl27

Louis and Michael have been straddling the line between friends and something more for a while now, neither of them sure of the other's feelings. Will Michael's newfound insecurity be the thing that finally brings them together?

zayn x liam | 1k | not rated

3 days before christmas Zayn finds out some news that he knows Liam's going to be estatic about. And yeah maybe he feels a little guilty telling his best friend that he's pregnant again before his husband but its all worth it when he sees Liam's reaction on christmas morning.

niall x liam | 999 | general audiences

“Who is it?” Liam questioned in a whisper. Again, Niall waved him off, but Liam skated to her other side. “Who is it?”

Niall pushed Liam away from her and flipped him off when he hooked his stick around her ankle and pulled himself back in. She was having a hard time focusing on what Paul was saying and she knew Liam wouldn’t stop so she relented and put it on speaker.

“I have seen some of the roster, you have some great guys so far. I have coached a couple over the years,” Niall spoke.

Liam puckered his lips for a kiss, knowing she was referring to him, but she rolled her eyes and pushed his face away.

or Niall is helping Liam practice before his training camp and she gets exciting news about an acclaimed position she interviewed for.

✨9 Ship Songs✨

Rules: List nine songs for one of your ships

I was tagged by @transprincecaspian weeks ago for this, sorry I'm just now getting to it. I've been burnt out from work but I'm going through all my tags now.

I've done this one before for the main 3 but I'm just going to do Mo and Solas for this one :) Under cut as usual

Also since it's been so long I'm just going to keep it as an open tag.

Mori'na/Solas

How We Used to Love by Siv Jakobsen

I ran into a woman on the sidewalk 'Cause I was thinking too much about us Dreaming of you and all we've lost 'Cause now you're always so angry You're always so sad You're mad about everything and everyone and I I don't have the heart for that How we used to love I'm afraid for our future I'm afraid it won't last 'Cause you've got too many scars to hide And I haven't got enough to understand why Why are you always so sad

The Archer by Adam Melchor

This is how you turned me to the archer from the arched This is where you turned me to the marksman from the marked This is how I learnt how to take the arrows in my back And shoot them at the stars But how they all just circle back and meet me at the start And how they hit me hard enough to question who you are And how you got so close to me And how you got so far I need more time

Pisces Moon by Flower Face

And I'm always staring at my phone I’m always trying to get you alone The wires got crossed along the way Now I’m standing here with nothing to say Fell in love with the Pisces moon Now I’ll follow you wherever you go 'Til you leave me at the altar some day Well I think that I’d love you anyway Yeah, I know that I’d love you anyway

It's About Time by Barcelona

There have been too many times When I've drowned you with these perfect lines And you've heard me say that I can cure you This morning I woke up with this overwhelming fear of love And I'm not sure if I can resurrect you Now I'm walking up to you so slowly It's about time, it's about time to fly away but wait I swear it's different cause I'm lonely Fold your wings, you'll need them more one day

Abstract (Psychopomp) by Hozier

Sometimes it returns, like rain that you slept through That washed off the world, the streets looking brand new I will not be great, but I'm grateful to get through The feeling came late, I'm still glad I met you The memory hurts but does me no harm / Sometimes there's a thought like you choose what you're doing But it comes to naught when I look back through it I remember the view, streetlights in the dark blue The moment I knew I'd no choice but to love you / Darling, there's a part of me I'm afraid will always be Trapped within an abstract from a moment of my life The weeds up through the concrete The traffic picking up speed All my love and terror balanced there between those eyes

You Want Everything by Snowmine

You woke up beside yourself You're taking back the night and I know you're meaning well But maybe I'm addicted To the hurt that comes around and then forgotten by yourself I can't remember, much of anything Faces passing by, and the time when we arrived But maybe, it's okay Cause you make me feel alive, you make me realize that.. You could try to be your best, but don't you know that it's suicide To want, you want, you want everything And you were right, this is a mess, because we're always picking sides But I won't let you have regrets, no way, no way

Chiromancer by Copeland

Your voice is fading, I call your name Cause I'm still here and the only thing that's left for me is listening Its the only way I make it through the night Are we just fooling ourselves, living in the moment? Am I just dying inside living all alone here? In a storm of quiet voices you're the only one that I can never find Just say you're mine and the fog would lift cause the only thing that's missing now is everything It's the only way I make it through the night / In morning light, in the darkest night and in-between I'm forever yours I hear you call my name and every sound's the same, I hear you call my name If only I could call up through the void to reach you If only I could stretch across the depths to hold you If only for a moment I can make two parts a whole, if only for a moment I could rest beside your soul, I could rest beside your soul

The Apparition by Sleep Token

So let's make trouble in the dream world Hijack Heaven with another memory now I make the most of the turning tide It just split what's left of the burning silence Don't wait, 'cause this could be the last time You turn up in the reveries of my mind I wake up to a suicide frenzy Loaded dreams still leave me empty And I believe Somewhere in the past Something was between You and I, my dear And it remains With me to this day No matter what I do This wound will never heal Why are you never real? The shifting states you follow me through Unrevealed Just let me go or take me with you

Lemons by Nick Leng

Won’t you please explain it to me Why’d we leave that way? Won’t you tell me please I can’t help but miss you But you’re too far to feel that Do wishing wells run dry? But did ours have to? Does the moon look different here from where you are? You’re getting colder from me and I can’t hold you that way No I can’t I can’t help but miss you But you’re too far to feel that

Svo lengi sem Sutrs ætt ok ásmegir aðhafast, mun þessi jörð í ringulreið elta

Svo lengi sem Sutrs ætt ok ásmegir aðhafast, mun þessi jǫrð í ringulreið elta er ulfs hnitbróðir hreyfir við landa heimi ok jǫtuns hals undum. Engin lǫng orð þarf að heyra til að sjá hvernig orðanna sannindi myrða von oss um friðsæld. Flóðs ásynja blóði var aðeins hjálparhella, Hliðskjalfar harri aðeins áhorfandi. Erlendir menn gáfu ráð ok voru drepnir af þeim sem við tǫldum vini. En dalar éls askr verðr að dveljast þar sem hjarta salr er, þó hefndarhugr í gollor hǫll ǫskri eftir orrustu. Á þessum kǫldu dǫgum þarf stutt að fara til misgerðamanna. Svo við lituðum skítug gólf rauð aftr með stolti ok fljúgandi undafleinum ok hylltum ok glǫddum Sígtý. Sonr Þorsteins eystra missti hǫfuð! Banda vinr, þér heilsum við á þessum blóðugu tímum ofsa ok ótta. Megir þú dveljast, megir sjá. Blóð-Þorsteinn, til þín sendi ék þessi skilaboð. Þig mun dolgsvǫlu barma elta. Hve langt, hve djúpt skalt þú nú skríða í þínum sverða sverrifǫrðr laufa tára ok bensævar ranna! Sverða svip-Hlakkar, hjǫrgaldrs Njǫrðr, færðu storma, láttu hafsjó brjóta þeirra hús. Vilja bróðir, blástu Yggs ærum þínum geðveiki í brjóst. Megi fjandmenn oss blindast af þinni dalnauð ok heila borg. En úlfa gráðar eyðir sendi engin orð. Þǫglir dagar ok vikr fylgdu ok enn heyrðist ekkert svar. Aðeins vandar jǫtunn sagði sína hljóðlátu sǫgu ok kuldinn kom með hljóðlausar snjóflygsr á land oss. Vetrinn kom ok valtr, sviksamr friðr hvíslaði gegnum vindinn ok ǫldrnar. Óǫruggt fellr hǫfuð mitt niðr af óvissu um hvað muni gerast á þessum dǫgum tómsins.

[ENGLISH - As long as gods act, this world spins on in circles]

As long as gods act, this world spins on in circles as the snake stirs up the land and sea. No long words need to be heard to see how the word's truth kills our hope for peace. Rán was just a helper. Óðinn just a watcher. Foreign men gave advice and got killed by people we knew as friends. But a brave man has to stay where the heart is, even if revenge in that man's heart screams out for battle. In these already cold days no long was need to be traveled to people who did wrong. So we reddened a muddy floor again with pride and flesh slicing swords, hailed Óðinn and gave him joy. Þorsteinn the east's son lost his head! Þórr, to you we hail in these bloody times of anger and fear. May you stay, may you watch. Blód-Þorsteinn, to you I send this message. To you death shall follow. How far, how deep you now shall creep in your sea of blood and entrails! Njǫrdr, bring storms to let water break into their houses. Óðinn, let your madness enrich the minds of warriors who fight for you. May our foes be blinded by your hand and spirit. But Blóð-Þorsteinn sent no words. Silent days and weeks followed and still no answer was heard. Only the Wind tells his quiet song and the coldness comes with soundless snowflakes back to this land of ours. No words were sent, no contact was given since men were sent to Hel and Niflheimr. The winter comes and an unstable and false peace whispers through winds and waves. Insecure my head falls down for not knowing what will happen in this days of nothingness.

Tour of Heaven

It is summer in Iceland, the meadow stretches for miles of green pasture. It is all quiet except the gusty wind blows across the terrain. 

Diana is running across the meadows being chased down by a group of men. She runs quickly but the people that are chasing her are just as quick. As she runs, she exchanges fire with the people behind her. She runs and ducks as bullets are coming her way. She is panting now as she is gasping for air for the last stretch of distance in front of her. Up ahead, the meadow ends in a fall, she has no way to go. Though she decidedly determined to run away, no paths left or not. As she nears the Gullfoss Fall, she uses the last energy that she has and makes a sprint for it. She nears the precipice of the fall and in a burst, she hastens her steps and makes a leap down the waterfall. The men chasing her get to the fall but see no one in the water. “She must have drowned”, says one of the men. “Make sure she is”, says the leader of the pack. The men slide down the cliff searching for a body.

Downstream Diana is floating on top of the water with her arms spread across like a crucifix. The aurora borealis is shining bright in the night sky. Then up above, a star gleams brightly. She awakes and after a moment of adjusting, she looks up at the sky. She continues to float down ‘til there is snowfall. As the snow continues to fall onto her, she lifts her hand trying to grasp a snowflake. One lands on her hand and she looks at it as it melts in her hand. She smiles. Then all of a sudden, she stops as she bumps into something. She gets up to look. As she floats on water she realises it is a rainbow. She then climbs on top of it and walks up on the arch of the rainbow. As she gets to the top she can see all of Iceland from above. And from the top of it she towers over the mountains and sea. As she passes the black sandy shore of Iceland, she starts running and laughing hysterically. She runs for miles and miles across the Atlantic Ocean to what seems like an infinite rainbow arch. After eight hundred miles of running, she reaches near the end of the rainbow that lands in Ireland. She quickens her pace and as she gets to the slope, she slips down and slides down the arch of the rainbow. She continues laughing hysterically, a joy she rarely felt. She slides down the rainbow into Dublin. She is speeding up now as she shouts for joy. Then she lands at the end of the rainbow on Grafton Street. She gets up and look around to see people are gathering around street buskers. The buskers are Sianon, Zoe, Allie and Saibh singing up a storm to the song “Paradise” by Coldplay. The crowd is enthused by the four buskers that they pay no mind to Diana, as if she is not even there. Then she turns around finally giving attention to the treasure chest at the end of the rainbow. Then the cover bursts open, spilling gold coins onto the ground as it overflows. She opens it completely to look inside and as she does a white hand reaches out and grabs her. Then the hand pulls her into the chest. After a moment, she manages to climb out but at some place else. She looks around and it is heaven. And in front of her is Yeshuphes dusting himself off. He gets up and looks at Yeshuphes. “I missed you”, he says to her. “I missed you too”, says Diana. Then Yeshuphes grabs onto her hand and takes her on for a tour of the entrance of heaven. “Come you have to see this”, says Yeshuphes. She is pulled along. Then after a moment has passed, a golden angel comes to greet her. “Love, I have been waiting for you”, says The Morning Light. He takes her hand to kiss, then comes into a full embrace. “Love, I finally have seen you again”, says Diana. They continue to hug for what seems like a long moment. Then he comes out of the embrace, “Come I have to take you to see all of heaven. It will seem like it is the very first time. He holds onto her hand and they fly into the endless skies of heaven. They tour the different worlds of heaven while “The Girls of Summer” starts playing. They fly up to the golden shore and then dive into the sea. The water is clear blue cyan and there is a large rainbow that runs across the depths of the ocean. There are wondrous creatures in the sea as they glide passed. They swim through a school of rainbow tuna and school of other wondrously coloured fishes. And as they fly into a field of giant hot pink glowing jellyfish, they surface and fly into the air. And on the water sit a flock of a thousand coral flamingos. As they fly up they see the rainbow in the ocean stretches out from the water and up into the sky where a giant blue whale is flying. They reach an infinite span of green pasture of meadow where unicorns are running wild and free. They land on a unicorn and ride it through the meadow ‘til they reach the land of white albino alligator skin. They ride across it ‘til they reach a lake where bubbles rise into the sky. The unicorn runs across the water reaching across from it is the Cartoon World where animated beings are brought to life as cartoon creatures. “This is really heaven”, exclaims Diana. “Like you’ve never left”, says The Morning Light. “Can I see God”?, she asks. “No one sees God and lives”, says The Morning Light. “You mean I’m still alive?!”, rejoices Diana as she jumps up and down. “Just joking. I’ll take you to them”, says The Morning Light. Then they fly up into the sky to a very tall white palace in the north.

The Keeper and the Captain

The Keeper and The Captain

Anchor oh anchor, oh time after time,

I will call out your name to the lonely dark night.

I'll carry this torch tight and close to my heart,

In hope that your beacon might light from my spark.

Oh lighthouse oh lighthouse above the dark sea,

As my ship travels wide, your light calls out to me.

But so too calls the tempest, the wind and the rain,

Where my soul feels alive in its pleasures and pains.

Yet as I fly on through the darkness and thunder,

I cannot but look back upon you and wonder,

How complete would this heart be, if you were beside me;

If you rose from your berth and stepped out to ride these,

These waves and the winds out here that fill my sails;

That whip at your flags as you rest on your rails.

Come to me, my love, to whom my heart is sworn,

Leave me not in the darkness alone and forlorn.

Rise up, oh rise up awake from your sleep,

And I promise my shield will abide and will keep

You from harm as it once did and craves to again,

Take my hand and we'll face all that darkness might send.

Join me on the sea, below full-moon lit skies,

Hold me close and we'll take the whole world as our prize.

And should that world turn its wrath to strike us down,

Then together we'll soar or together we'll drown.

Join me in adventure, in storm and in fire,

For you and sea's chaos alike I desire.

The wind in my hair while you stand by my side,

The warmth of your hand in mine as we face the tides.

What more could I ask you, but truly what less?

Bring unto me your whole self and I'm blest.

Bring me your soul in full blazing bright glory,

Ignite and we'll burn as one and live out our story.

Or leave my hand empty, continue your slumber,

While the rain beats the rocks, the cliffs echo with thunder,

Stay warm in your bed and stay safe on your beach,

While the tides take me further, past your furthest reach.

Beside sunlit seas and far-tossed diamond crests

My heart, in fresh soil, sprouts and cannot rest.

As far from the home shore I've found that I'm stronger,

And found maybe a point where I cannot wait longer.

So when my heart fin'ly stirs, upon faraway shores,

To a fire that once did, but no more reflects yours,

Perhaps I'll look back, 'cross the ocean and sigh,

Or can I look forward, to a hope-tinged blue sky?

But of course I'd look back, because how could I not,

When so often your beacon steered me from the rocks?

And so I sail in circles, til whirlpools take form,

And I'm dragged down to depths by the rage of the storm.

Oh, am I just poison that rots all I touch?

Is it best that I leave alone, not ask too much?

Or have I the right of it, to hope for some joy,

To want for the dreams that were mine since a boy?

I sing to the darkness, to the space that we share,

And I strain still my ears for the sound, is it there?

The echo, the harmony, the answering call,

That speaks to my deepest, my closest, my all?

There's no specter, no nightmare, no beast in its violence,

That carries such terror as quiet, as silence.

The emptiness left like an unanswered prayer,

As I fall from the tightrope and my fingers clutch air.

Oh nothingness, emptiness, ruinous shell,

I pine for what was as I spiral to hell.

In greed grows my hunger for all that could be,

As I gorge on illusion and on wonders I see

But don't touch, but couldn't touch, e'en if I tried,

E'en if I wanted, but still my hands are tied.

And I don't want, but still can see yonder hills green,

And feel my skin tickled by breezes unseen.

I look back with longing, across the dark sea,

At the flame, at the flicker which once blazed for me.

Swallowed up by the distance, the darkness, and rain,

The glow's near abated, but still my eyes strain,

I want you, I want to believe that you're there,

Just waiting to join me, my beacon so fair.

So end me my torment, and take you my hand,

That together we'll blaze like a twice-brightened brand.

Let us weave a new tale, and more tales upon those,

Be my ever companion, my undying red rose.

“It has been many a year since the Dreadfort has had so honorable a guest.”

The word is a whisper in her guest’s ear, easily mistaken for wind playing a trick upon her. The only sound that follows is the flow of wine into the goblet, a deep crimson flecked with the remains of spice. In another life, such an offering might be refused, considered tainted by the family who dwelt within these halls.

Now, only the daughter remains. A quiet host. A gentle lady. The lands do not flourish, with the snow so high beyond the keep, but they endure. In the world beyond the war, this is the most some Houses can hope for. The Lady Bolton has given her people that much during her tenure.

Pulling back, the wisp of a woman stands stark against the long shadows of the hall. Yet the fire glows in a way that is almost merry, scented by the stewpot that hangs over it. The oddity goes uncommented upon by its mistress. She knows how crass it would be, to sour this dinner with talk of assassins and poisons.

At least present company will know their meal is safe.

“We have little to match a lady of your means, but all that is mine I offer in service to you. Til this storm passes over us, I swear it shall be so.” The small solar is guarded against the howling beyond, but other parts of the ruin might still shriek about the eaves. Lyanna does not speak of how anyone who survived the war should be able to contend with a few ghosts.

The hostess draws, at last, to her own chair. Settling in, pulling her dark furs closer about her slender shoulders, she takes a long moment to study the other. What terrible luck, that this be the closest outpost from the storm. The Dreadfort is nothing like it was in her father’s day, yet it still looms like a shadow over the Queen’s rule. Often, she is still amazed she was allowed to reclaim the sepulcher that remained after the rebellion.

“There is some good fortune, if you in the mood for its telling. The Last River will have frozen over in all this blizzard. You should be able to cross it without issue. I could send some men to see you there, when you take your leave of us.”

LYANNA BOLTON, an asoiaf oc, coming soon to an @eclipsecrowned​ near you.
