He carefully leaned down and kissed Rei's forehead. "Rei and Kenshi both... Deserve to be safe." But what did that mean for him? He felt so hollow in that moment. Knowing, deep down, that it would be better if he left for awhile. Until he could take care of things. Until he could... Again, Sixteen shifted, pushing himself up and wandering over towards a different room. He silently dug through it, outfitting himself with every weapon he owned. If they wanted Project Sixteen, they would get him, full force of what he was. All he could ask was that his family was kept safe.

tfw the best way to bring your character's muse back from the war is by (temporarily) killing off their love interest

What do you want, Cecilia?


It’s a question with a definitive answer, in most cases. To be the one that wins, above all else. To be feared and to be understood. She wants to exist as more than the sum of her parts, to leave behind a great legacy, and to never be forgotten, no matter the cost. What Cecilia St. Romain wants is, inherently, damn more than anyone can give her, and she has never once tried to apologize for it.

But the question—what does she want—falls short in the current situation, and she swallows when she notes how cold Darlington feels beneath her. Not right. Winterbourne’s suggestion leaves a gravity in the silence—to use one’s venom to ensure survival, all at the base price of forever with the fine print. And what she wants is—


+ a personal favorite trope of "character calls back to something incredibly insignificant in the greater scheme of things to stand for their spiteful motivation in a life or death situation"

”This is not my choice to make,” she hisses out as he looks at her—devastatingly unfair, with those brown eyes. Even now, she can note the magic that compels an answer, and she wants to argue and she wants to fight and she wants him to— ”What I want is for you to—“

—and everything around her feels so suddenly, drastically, small, and Cecilia finds she does not like this feeling as it continues—

—she doesn’t like it as much as the thought of being the one left behind, and it’s too fucking soon for that—

He still owes her a goddamn apology for the cathedral.

”—just don’t go out bleeding on the floor, Iain.”



coming soon.

For a moment, he paused, looking back up towards Crim. "If you wanna turn back..." But he knew that wasn't going to happen, and a small defeated look came across his face for a second before a soft smile. "Thank you... For not making me do all this alone."

Daichi was not unused to the looming feeling of dread that followed them wherever they went. Most times the sinking pit in their stomach was a false alarm and they had long since learnt to differentiate between the standard anxiety that came along with the thought of finding something grotesque and the feeling that told them that that something grotesque was most certainly there and they were going to have to see it. It had been quite a while since they’d felt that horrid pull of their power, they really should have expected it to kick in soon.

Do not seek forgiveness, for it will not ease the burden. It weighs as it should.
“I never thought we would find each other.” A star out of reach. Glinting and bright with the reality of its existence – distant, forever. But now plucked from the heavens, burning in his embrace. “Whatever you need from me...I will give it gladly.”

Corny as hell but something of an epilogue I really enjoy writing rn for an old character. 

And after that, he only climbed higher and further. Surely earning his rightful place should have taken no longer than half a decade.

Alas, if only life was so simple.

He would soon realize that the clink of metal and the buzz of golem cores were not the only melodies to inundate his life. Nay, there were many more to come. It started with the unexplained lub-dub of his heart, followed by the chime of wedding bells and brought to a close by the pitter-patter of tiny feet.

So, too, is Death possessed of infinite strategies and a gaunt nature.

reading old writing, uncovering gold. haven't written a thing in months

She had become good at noticing wounds, both fresh and old; Hotaru could see well the scars of Towaguchi Tsumugi, and her struggles beneath them.

Standing beside son, that was all she could glean: a bitter girl with bitter prospects.


Fingers raised, they snatch Towaguchi’s chin, the pressure of which squandering the false wealth of a girl's false simper. An unforgiving touch akin to the cold steel of a samurai's blade laid flat and resting with Tsumugi held under it's knife point, just barely scraping skin.

"It'll do your teeth more harm than good, biting down like that."


There came the following sound of forefinger striking thumb; the forward motion signal for a servant and their handkerchief.

“Smile like you did when you were a girl,” she continued leisurely, taking care to wipe the stain of Clan Towaguchi’s shame from her fingers. “I’m sure you remember how, Towaguchi-san.”


xoxo

"Yay~" the girl sings, "I knew you're my favorite uncle for a reason!"

Funny...Lucciana's father could have sworn she had a different favorite uncle the other week when the man taught her how to use a gun in the middle of the woods. They had also apparently gone camping to look at the stars which she had clearly enjoyed given how much she refused to let him go. However, her father decides to keep that thought to himself.

where fears and lies melt away.
She had always been one for theatrics. Dramatic wordage shouldn't be too surprising. Detest, abhor. Powerful words to describe emotions so intense she felt them in her soul. Yet somehow, someway, Martín knew how to chip away at her anger.

First impressions were crucial, and Adam was adamant about assuring he would gain some favour. Naturally, the dark-haired man knew not everybody would fancy his presence, but being viewed as a friendly, benevolent soul went miles. Crafting a persona that contradicted his norms allowed him to avoid detection inside the flock. Thus, he would bah and munch on grass until he could sink his razor-sharp teeth into flesh.

i know you see yourself as a fighter. well, i see myself as one, too.


was reminded of an old ship and had to go back to read some of their sad ass content:


He trembled in her arms and Victoria had no way of knowing how to still him. Never before had she seen Matt in such a delicate light, scared and choking on his own words, nothing more than incomplete thoughts springing from his chattering teeth. He was fragile, vulnerable, and the desire to offer him comfort, security pushed its way to the top of her, superseding all previous thoughts and emotions. "Don't," she whispered to him, head shaking against his jacket. "You don't have to."

And he didn't. He didn't owe her an apology of any sort. Didn't owe her anything, really, since she'd had a hand in pushing him so far away. If she had been more reasonable, more understanding, perhaps he would have stayed. Perhaps he wouldn't have felt so on the outs. The idea that she had been so callous toward his plight was going to sit with her and eat away at her until she met the grave. In her heart of hearts, she knew that she had been a terrible partner. The fact that he'd even returned to their flat was more than she deserved.

She wanted to do this with a sense of grace and decorum, but when the time came to push Mina made a rather unladylike noise as she did as her husband had said and focused her energy down and out.

"I can't just go breaking into the records office because you failed another test!" Yeah, that seemed about right, didn't it? "Maybe if you actually paid attention in class instead of chasing skirts, this wouldn't keep happening to you!"

Morgan sighed and shook his head before wandering over to his bed and flopping onto it. "I ain't doing it." Finny couldn't make him either, could he? Well, then again. Morgan didn't want to wake up with bugs in his bed or have hair dye put in his shampoo again. Nor did he want a dick drawn on his cheek in marker or... Okay, so maybe his supposed best friend was more trouble than he was worth.


I truly love their dynamic. I really really do.
