@timelovcd : I ACTUALLY THOUGHT YOU’D BE KINDA MEAN AND SCARY.
Mean and scary, indeed. Was such a sentiment aimed as a compliment or insult? The worst part: Nebula herself remains unaware how to inherit said expression. She’d arrived on Terra ‘neath a guise promising bloodshed and long waited revenge — hardly accounted for this flower - obsessed, talkative human with a seemingly keen interest regarding the Luphomoid. (Granted, Nebula’s intrigue somewhat perked in turn; merely a little less expressive about it.) Gaze furrows while she turns to gander Felicity, features blank, raven eyes hollow, granting no opportunity for insight inside.
“ I don’t know what would give you that idea. ” Monotone, tongue flat as response filters chilled atmosphere. Perhaps an attempt at comfortable sarcasm, although lacking execution. Another sip of her chocolate milkshake (Felicity once again gracing with New York’s abundance of takeaway. What a sight it was: assassin drinking from a plastic straw, remnants of burger crumbs flooding paper wrapping discarded to her left;) and Nebula promotes a pointed glance. “ You will change your mind one day, I am sure of it. ” Pleasant nights air bites the nape of her neck, sending a relaxed tingle down the spine; truly she could get used to this place. Maybe when the work is done. “ I do not make a habit of accepting flowers from children, if this is what has altered your thoughts. You have simply given me too many, and I’ve lost the effort of throwing them away. ”

⁽ ⅋. ⁾ princess fallon.
THE SIXTH ELDEST WAS QUICK TO TURN TOWARDS her sister, now with both arms to her sides and her messy hair being all over the place ( some of it was down her shoulders, some was tangled up, some couldn’t even be described ). Despite the look and desperation on her visage, Genevieve’s kind words sparked joy in Fallon.
“Oh, this is why you’re my favorite. You’re a lifesaver, Genie,” in seconds, Fallon was seated on the bed with her back towards Genevieve and her hands gently folded on top of her skirt. “I am determined to find that headband even if it takes me all day. You know I bend over backwards for my belongings…” A sight left past her lips, closing her eyes. “Remember the time I lost my collection of poems and didn’t go to bed until I found it?”
Ever chaotic it was within grand household, though one wouldn’t have things any other way. Days encircled alongside responsibility regarding individual tasks and ensuring kingdom ran smoothly, generously — albeit remaining time spent cornered towards specific interests and oftentimes, rambunctious activities. Genevieve allows a tender grin to befall features, short laugh breaking out, shaking head with ease. Stretches back straight, hands work carefully, soft strokes polished ‘neath fingertips. “ Of course I do! ” Princess giggles almost disbelieving, as if she could forget such a night. Digits continue important mission inside light tresses; indeed a bit tangled on the part of Fallon holding it so messily. A hairbrush is retained, smoothing out said knots, offering silky base. “ I think you kept everyone up that evening! It wasn’t until Ashlyn woke, that the rest of us decided we better help, too. ” Sighs softly; remembers desire to embrace sleep that eve, though unable with Fallon’s extreme search for missing belongings. “ Didn’t you find them near the kitchens? I think we were all awake until about three that morning! ” Laughs once more, before removing fingers from sisters locks, job completed neatly. Jumping to her feet, she offers elder a friendly hand off the bed, nudge of the head instigating beginning of exploration. “ Maybe we should check there first, this time? ”

⁽ ⅋. ⁾ anastasia tremaine.
‘Isn’t it obvious?’ she almost said out loud, almost with defiance over her step-sister asking such an obvious question. But she didn’t. That was not her anymore, and that was not how she truly felt. There was no one looming over her shoulder to treat Cinderella like she was lesser than her, not anymore at least. And now Anastasia felt nothing but regret… So much pent up regret and shame for how she behaved.
Gaze remained fixed low, on her own hands one toyed and pulled the other’s fingers to distract herself. “I…” Words failed her. What could she even say?? Anastasia took a deep breath, asking her conscience what to do. The answer she got was obvious, but needed. “I’m sorry…”
what else exists, but the nobility of commiseration? she’d been raised a good girl, a kind one; bestowed with father’s wisdom, passed down mother’s tenderness. ‘twas not always easy maintaining such ideals, albeit dared never to stray from these, which very well pieced together entire persona. life thus far knows little sense of ease or security — but she’s steadily growing into this stature betwixt a pinch of magic, alongside sheer determination. yes, old life slowly but surely blurs towards back of mind, at no time to be revisited could she help it... alas, it hardly meant she deemed a farewell of all occupants necessary. some relationships forged with the ability to be mended, stung with grave potential that failed to see the light of day, thanks to a devilish woman baring her teeth and spitting venom every chance received.
maiden furrows gaze, corners oceanic hues up to step-sister, and beneath vibrant lashes she’ll peer most fondly. lips present a frown as a quiet sigh breaks, filtering an otherwise silent atmosphere. ‘‘ oh, anastasia... ’’ breathes out name like the coo of a dove. lacking hesitation, she’ll cease other’s insisting fingers, halting toying movements by grasping both hands in her own, merely holding there; stern yet comforting. pulls them closer to her chest, forcing the space between to corner, evidently tugging bodies nearer. ‘‘ i know. you don’t owe me anything — all i wish is your happiness. ’’ offers soft smile, genuine, reaching eyes. apology means more than cinderella will ever be able to express. ‘‘ and we can move forward together, if you let it be so. but you must forgive yourself first. ’’ we never have to be alone again.

FROM @wolfwithin: “ IT WAS MY FAULT. IT WAS MY FAULT. ” ( … ) FEATURING, LYRA REED FOR GISELLE ANDATALE.
dearly demised is but a horror story— promulgated tales of woe somehow becoming a kind of twisted norm. it cannot be true, please don’t let it be so! your world bred within fantasy and tenderness is at its tether: embrace doom coated destiny to survive. always known evil existed amongst naturally good hearts, she’s not foolish as many might believe— felt handling poison run amuck, enthroning entire being, vile heartache upon susurrating demons. oh yes, borne as far more than mere witness towards worlds capabilities: giselle assumes her body be prepared for extreme heartbreak. she will handle it. she can.
i can’t... i lied. not this, i beg of you. allow it to be some dream, a nightmare concocted of my own insurmountable thoughts and feelings. permit contrition to seize me and me only. or proclaim this some tale an old bard may croon about. ANYONE BUT HER.
giselle herself held the babe, soothed, sung, laughed. recalls warmth spreading through bones, sheer bliss of it all, utter happiness. yet this is gone? maiden chokes, on bile or tears in her throat she is not aware, all she knows is snatching lyra’s hand, locking fingers tight, so - very tight, smothering. ‘ don’t you— don’t you dare! ’ [forgive her tone, she does not direct it to you. she simply is unfeeling, unsure, thus ultimately allows buried anger to rise to occasion.] shakes head thrice before peering up to woman beneath wet lashes, hazy gaze permitted. lassitude evokes whole mien, heavy heart bearing fruitless existence in a manner never expected. ‘ oh dear, oh my dearest— ’ places a small kiss to lyra’s hand, lingers lips there momentarily then pulls back, however cradling hand now to her chest. she shan’t let go again. ‘ this could never be your fault, you must listen to me. it is the work of the foulest, most unforgiveable creatures. this is not you. ’
giselle leans forth, swipes that stray patch of hair away from lyra’s eyes, tucking neatly behind ear. nimble digits caress the cheek ever softly; she needs to touch her, hold her close, assure she shall not be lost in awaiting darkness. ‘ i am here, i am here. i will take care of you. ’ speaks in a hymn, albeit voice pulls an evident shake, it warbles and denies any reason of truth. fingers remains upon cheek, holding fiercely, proclaiming protection. ‘ you are not alone in this. ’

⁽ ⅋. ⁾ lyra reed.
𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐃𝐎𝐓𝐇 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐒 once the warring is done? should they be comparing scarring? ( do they not both still wake in terror when the night is dark and dreary and quiet as a tomb? ) not as frequent as it used to be, she knows. all the horrors aside, she cannot help but see that same youthful face staring back at her from behind vivid green hues from when she’d first met him. THE BOY WHO LIVED, MEET THE MAIDEN WHO CHEATED DEATH ( twice. ) she cannot help the mirthful grin toward his plentiful free-time. yes, this was exactly the kind of day she needed ; and she waves her wand to put the kettle on. a simpler witch may have allowed magic to prepare their cups and cream, but never one not to use her hands for menial things - she begins gathering the drinkware.
❛ ──── frankly my darling, for the life you have lived, i’m overjoyed to hear of the calm. ❜ he knows, she’s aware. at once, she’s pouring tea into two cups and readying the additions: a bowl of sugar, a cannister of cream, and a side of lilac-honey. ❛ i think i remember her mentioning it. i hope you’ll pass along that i’m wishing her all the luck in the world - as is severus. you two will have to come for dinner sometime soon, after you’ve had some time to yourselves. ❜ & she settles herself neatly within a chair opposite him, while extending out his cup. ( hair falling in loose, auburn cascades over narrow shoulders helps to hide the scars along her neck. )
❛ i'm very proud, you know. of both of you. ❜ the words fall as casually from the tongue as those which may describe the sky, but the eyes that fix upon him hold for a moment longer ; to reinforce it.
recognition dawns, marking the cant of his head in a sure movement as he watches her, transfixed. (supposes she’s always preached truth, never steered him in an unwarranted direction, nor clouded reality despite how it may vehemently torture.) indeed, current calm erupting over vexation existed to soothe broken fragments of a soul slowly rebuilt. ‘ sometimes it doesn’t feel— right. ’ admits by rather casual tendencies, shoulders shrugging up neck; hardly venting towards mother, opposed to observations occurred every other day. ‘ all this normalcy... can be exhausting. in a... uh, a good way— if that makes any sense. ’ releases dry laugh; structured living was clearly preferred, arc of timeless contentment without merciless woes atop heartache. oftentimes moments pass where it merely felt... odd. as though ghosts might pop ‘round forbidden corners, thrusting him back into unhinged teenagehood. simplicity is harmoniously gifted.
‘ yeah, absolutely. ‘reckon luna would spend all her time in your house if she could, y’know. ’ chuckles lightly through teeth: countless stray cats fed and homed probably had a lot to do with it. harry takes the cup between both hands, blowing softly against light powder of steam dancing about the air before pulling to lips. contented hum basks in his throat while beating silence passes. comfortable even in absence of conversation, able to simply be. self-same etiquette risen from great depths to remain, at peace with such surrounding nature. he’d reach to grasp her hand should he feel it necessary: practised assemblage of constant mannerisms. yet occupied they are in gripping his cup— more so, she does not need physical contact to grant assurance regarding his gratefulness, his wonder-capped love. ‘ it is only with your guidance that i’m here now, for you to be proud of me. ’ another sip, warmth compassing down his stomach; locution provided gradually, gratitude constantly simmering.
woven speech darts an opposite path, ‘ and how is severus? ’ less inclined concerning rolling eyes or falsified intrigue; past settles somewhere in a distant sunset. forthcoming sunrise opening in place of a peculiar little family forged amongst war, connected by solace. ‘ i keep seeing students with his books in hand— things are well for him, i assume? for you both? ’

bark of wolves teeth almost has harry reeling back in his plight and offering a depart of conversation, of emotions most foul. he stares at her just a moment as her skin is felt on his: hot, steaming features sweating with all hatred thrust upon him. guilt burrows inside the bloodstream regarding her weighted reaction— always his cause to promote such behaviour and plunging frustrations. harry finds a second of solace in the grasp of this woman, (always has. always will. she knew best routes to take; even in her biting vexation she keeps him grounded by a mere touch) and the heat subsides. somewhat. if it was still sizzling he’d have pulled back, dashed far away from her embrace and sought isolation elsewhere. somewhere to mentally bang his head against the wall and pray for a different life. her hand falls and he wishes to pick it back up to hold close.
“ i know you’re not. you’re about the only one who isn’t. ” admits slowly, tone bitten through teeth in a sort of snarl. he knows. madame reed’s grace and glory, perhaps his only trustworthy companion. eaten by vultures in the media, swarmed, swooped, devoured; he’d never been content with countless eyes watching him since he’d barely turned eleven— now said glances shift maliciously and he couldn’t live up to expectations if he tried, let alone wanted to.
there’s some idea of future predictions... he thinks. conducting secret meetings in the dead of night, prepping innocence for the cold war brewing says as much; harry’s drifted towards this position ever since ordering those wooden soldiers around under his stairs. it’s fitting, destiny stricken from the very start, moulding and preparing years ago. “ and what lies ahead? tell me. ” learned to thickly swallow down all gut - water and spoiled anger— it’s second nature. harry takes a breath in, exhales out wearily, before finally removing his glance from the ground. uncurls left fist, and furrows brows up to her. bones were never his, mind stolen a year into timeline, so little he can call his own. but she... lyra is his, and anger lulls alongside her. “ does it... all feel like it did the first time? ”
@witchedhours sent ❝ everything is ending soon, but everyone is lying about it. ❞ from harry james potter,
𝐀 𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐑 𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐒 𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐍 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒 to the air upon wolf’s winter-breath : it yanks upon the veil that disguises the beast, and shows it cut open and pulsating like a nerve. a flash of movement and rustle of fabrics, and elongated digits snatch him by the chin / forcing him to look her in the eye: ❛ ──── HARRY JAMES! [ … ] ❜ and this daring use of boy’s name cracks from her voice like a whip.. and just this once, it feels that it was not her place. CHILDLESS WRETCH - the boy is not your son.. not really. so why does the heart bleed and bleed and bleed for him this way? are you doomed indeed to love the bastards and broken boys in place of your own? it works canine and molar into a grind, until pain shoots up her temple.
all at once as it is spoken, and so deeply considered, lyra’s teeth are put away. ( it was only knee-jerking insofar as it is meant to capture his attention, ) though the furrow in her brow remains the same. a moment’s flash in grey eyes, and away again it goes.. how swollen is the moon tonight, dear heart? you must wonder it..
as she catches his eyes, she releases him. ❛ i am not lying to you. ❜ and like a gasoline fire, she burns quick and dies away. her hands fall to her sides. once again so terribly herself, and furthermore so terribly devoted to him. mother, mother, ( how you long to shield him from all that is wicked in your world. ) but this was not the way of things. better he be prepared, she knows. and she hates it. ❛ bad things are coming.. and yes, you have seen a great deal. more than anyone your age should - but you haven’t seen war. not yet. ❜ a beat, and the attempt toward any reassuring smile seems futile. still, she holds him unwavering within her eyes.
❛ [ … ] it takes everything. they’re afraid, that is all. try not to blame them, but know this: i will never lie to you about these things. i need you to know what lies ahead. ❜

FROM @lazarushours: “ I DIDN’T EVEN HAVE TIME TO CHANGE. ” ( … ) FEATURING, THACKERY BINX FOR DANI DENNISON.
only quite so saccharine in this particular company, all cherry cheeks atop keen irises: it’s hardly a sight everyone bares witness to. still, dani rolls her eyes in that familiar fashion she wears, hands finding themselves upon hips, brow raised as neck tilts to peer down ‘pon feline. “ ha - ha, very funny, binx. ” sarcasm falls off her tongue with ease, as she shakes her head softly. then, however, arms fall just as quickly, an idea striking within the conscious, startled gasp breaking free from chapping lips. “ actually—! ” she exclaims, before lowering on her knees to gander a better view of him. “ since you’ve mentioned it, i could get mum to buy you some kitty clothes, y’know, like those ones at the store... so you don’t get too cold in winter and all that! ”
grins excitedly, interlocking fingers while brainstorming an array of things to grant their newest addition. he deserved it, after all. might be immortal, but he’s under her care now, and nothing bad would ever happen again— even if it was merely a case of the chills. nods firmly in self agreement, “ i think you should definitely have the option to change if you want it! m-hmm. ”

⁽ ⅋. ⁾ steve rogers.
he does not like to fight, he does what is right but he only fights if it is needed, there is no pleasure to be found in conflicts. it’s worse with tony, the man having a knack when it comes to pinpointing one’s weakness, sore spots. steve feels bruised all over under brown eyes, knowing himself to be riddled with mistakes and regrets, everything a sore sport, a perfect victim to tony’s cruelty. it does not miss, a sigh out of frustration though he remains unsurprised, tony unable to admit mistakes, to admit defeat. ❛ i could have helped in new york, tony. ❜ it is said without anger, just something that needs to be said, unable to stomach baseless accusations though always ready to shoulder responsibilities. but tony’s anger is a living &. breathing thing, it burns always, it rarely warms and steve has felt cold, he’s been feeling cold since they thawed him out, stole him from the peace he had crashed into. but the cold has been insidious, seeping through pores and cracks alike, seizing him until he felt stiff and unfeeling. ❛ could have texted, tony. just send me the address. i meant what i said, i’ll always be there if you need it. ❜ it had been a mess, buck and tony on each side, a choice had to be made, things he could not stand for : ross and his plans, imprisoning wanda, scott, sam, it was not right and it had to be stopped. ❛ i couldn’t stay, couldn’t agree to the accords, couldn’t let them all rot under the ocean. i had to do something and if i had to become what they call a traitor then so be it. ❜ it seems that, no matter the time, you don’t always reap rewards from being good.
sometimes i wonder which is the real me... this splendid metal skin i’ve created— or the frail thing of flesh wearing it. stark rolls his eyes in common fashion, a single haggard breath releases. in the end it was a dark and personal argument branching ‘tween two sides of the same coin; in the end it wasn’t concerning the accords. tony himself admitted as much, accounted for possible mistakes conjured in the heat of scattered moments. oftentimes he wishes he didn’t go out seeking rogers in the merciless snow, wished he’d never sought the location, wished he’d never stood witness to... newly found evidence. sometimes ignorance is indeed bliss. regret and desire nests itself uncomfortably, but then again it usually does, and he’s learned quite practically to move forward.
" yeah, believe it or not— i get it. alright? i get it. we all did what we did, protected those we thought needed it the most. " fuck, his head is pounding. ironically he could really use a drink or two. " but hey, everyone’s gone now, so what was it all even for. " bitterly remarks, tone rattling off in a slight mumble, unusual for a man of so many words. index finger presses roughly against temple, pressing for just a few seconds, eyes closed momentarily before returning. " and now... now we get to sit around on our asses and bask in the fact that everything we did, didn’t do a damn thing anyway. " motions fuelled by adrenaline, always have been, perhaps always will. to wash away thoughts of pain for only a short time was almost a fantasy never bound to happen. facetiousness hardly enough for him to subsist on. compared to some... he got lucky. tony didn’t take that for granted: came home to pepper’s embrace, reasons to continue trudging forth— albeit there’s still those lost in the wind. forever unattainable. he questions coolly, " you got something to do about this too, then?
