‘ stop punishing yourself. please. you don’t deserve it. ’
LIGHT HEARTED SUGGESTIONS STARTERS / still accepting!
The wind had picked up, blowing wildly at Sara’s hair, blonde locks whipping behind her head. If she lifted her arms she was certain she would fly, carried away like a leaf blown in the gust. But her arms remained slack at her sides where she stood on the edge of THE FATHER’S concrete words, his book opened and lifted up to the heavens where his statue would eventually reach. On her lips rested a smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes—eyes so dull they’d almost become a milky white.
“I have sinned, Mark,” she told the man before her. Was he really there? Or would he evaporate into green smoke the second her fingers brushed him? Sara didn’t test this theory. She didn’t care anymore. She was at the end of The Path. Soon she would pass through the gates and be welcomed wholly into Joseph’s family. Her chest warmed at the thought. She would finally be home.
“To atone I had to walk the path… Prove my loyalty to the Father.” Sara’s tone lacked any emotion, the words seemingly forced out of her by an unseen hand pulling at her strings.
“Stop punishing yourself,” Mark snapped, but he too was affected by the bliss, no matter how he tried to fight it. His movements were slowed, his vision dazed. He tried to take a step towards Sara, but staggered, nearly losing his footing. “… Please. You don’t deserve it.”
An unnaturally soft giggle escaped Sara, the sound echoing that of Faith, her newfound sister.
“This is not a punishment… I knew the Father was special. There was something about him. He has given me faith… He has shown me the way.”
Sara took a step back, teetering on the edge of the statue’s book. She began to hum and soon a song was on her lips, the sound hollow and distant.
“Help me, Faith… Help me, Faith.” Sara turned, looking down, ready to take the final step. “Shield me from sorrow… From fear of tomorrow…”
“Sara!” Mark slurred, but she was already leaning forward, arms spread, accepting her fate.
Sara was warm with the Father’s love as she fell. Before she hit the ground she felt the Father’s love envelop her, his promises true, and his word everlasting.

standing in front of a full length mirror he tried on marks cowboy hat. humming absently. ' not bad. but really anything looks good on me. '
——— amusement. crooked smile lazily etched into pink lips. he watches john fiddle with the cowboy hat that, along with his flannel and pants, has been stripped off his person. the bubbly liquid from earlier courses through his veins, adding a dusty taint of pink to freckled cheeks, fuelling the soundtrack of laughter.
this…It’s different from other nights spent together, slower and more intimate. It’s just the two of them. mark’s nose wrinkles in distaste as he finds himself thinking he would enjoy more nights LIKE THIS.
( ❛❛ not bad. but really anything looks good on me. ❜❜ )
he decides to simply humour the lawyer, position at the head of the bed abandoned in favour of one behind john. ❛❛ look at ya’, cowboy. ❜❜
his face appears in the full length mirror as his neck cants to the side. A look of pure awe is mocked up, tongue caught between teeth to stop drunken laughter. ❛❛ y’know what they say, huh? ❜❜
fingers hook through john’s belt loop, guiding him to the foot of the bed where arms wrap around the thin torso, chin lifting to rest on his shoulder. playful laughter finally spilled, warm eyes crinkling as john heads tilts to look down at mark, blue eyes shadowed by the wide brim of the hat.
one hand moves from the cold torso to lift the brim of the hat, lips just hovering over john’s.
❛❛ save a ‘orse, ride a cowboy ! ❜❜
@gcdsaved / john duncan is always welcome !

‘ i love you so much ‘
——— softness. they’re enveloped in it, the clean linen wrapped around shivering bodies. bare legs interlocked, the soft sound of their breathing drowned out by the serene mix of the heavy rainfall and the pacific music playing. It’s the picture of BLISS, his little trailer a safe haven for the both of them.
trembling fingers draw patterns across the skin of her cheek, watching as curled eyelash come together and lips part, ( ‘ i love you so much ‘ ). words exhaled, voice vulnerable. love and safety, the two feeling coincide with one another. you cannot have one without the other. love and safety, it’s how she’s brought him back to life. revived what was lost and restored what was shattered.
he can only hope he’s done the same in her.
he burns to tell her she is all he needs but his voice is drowned out by the noise outside. the pitter of raindrops against his window reminding him that there is a world where the two of them have seperate engagements. her, her husband and the name they have built for themselves. him, well, he tends to carry a little bit of everyone else with him. atlas, who carries the burden of world on his shoulders, has now found some to share the load with.
one soul in two bodies separated by selflessness.
wet eyelashes come together, fingers finally stilling on the warmth of her cheek. tentatively her hand comes up to his SCARRED ——— TATTOOED ——— cheek, inducing a small flinch from the BRAVE soldier. this time, for the first time, he doesn’t guide the hand away. lets the cold metal of her wedding band rest against ENVY ——— HIS SIN ——— carved into the flesh of his cheek. perhaps, he’s finally owned up to it. given up on the fight and accepted it as the truth.
HE IS ENVIOUS.
envious that this trailer ——— this safe haven they’ve built ——— is all they will ever have.
blindly hands come up to collect hers from his cheek, interlock their fingers and guide them to his chest ; over his heart.
he didn’t want to fall in love, didn’t want to be fixed.
but she’s done and now he’s ——— they’re ——— left to pick up the pieces.
❛❛ he’ll be home soon. ❜❜ words exhaled, voice vulnerable.

MILITARY HABITS !
early mornings: on the rare event that he does go to sleep and stay asleep, mark is up at 0500 ( 5:00 am ) every single morning.
morning cardio: as soon as he is up, he is out the door for his morning workout. normally, he sticks to something light to warm up his muscles for the day ——— stretches, jumping rope, followed by a brisk five mile ( sometimes more ) jog.
sleeping anywhere: again, not something that happens often because he can’t get adequate sleep but when he finally does let himself rest, he can fall asleep anywhere. And when he does wake up, he is coherent and responsive within seconds.
whistling in the latrine: an odd one but not uncommon for veterans. most latrines on military bases don’t have locks, so soldiers on duty will often hum or whistle while using the john. mark is not exception to this odd habit, even if the door has a lock, he will be in there whistling ( or on a good day you can catch him humming ). he doesn’t whistle anything in particular, just whatever happens to spring into his head at the moment.
fast eating: given that downtime is very little when on a tour ( or even in basic training ), mark developed the skill of being able to finish a whole meal in six minutes or less. It’s a habit that he’s tried to break many times but it won’t shake.
scanning crowds: generally, he doesn’t like being in overcrowded places but when he has no other choice, he’s constantly checking his surroundings. watching people, scanning for threats and looking for exit points.
evening training: he likes to end his days the same way he starts them ; with exercise. his evening sessions are focused on weight / resistance training and are a little more loose given that he can pick and choose just what he wants to work out. if he still has energy to burn after the gym, he will come home and take a dip in the lake.
