𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐀𝐒 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐖𝐄𝐋 ( @scarecroz ) sent: 💋 to kiss mac out of nowhere
her hands are still wet, covered in lemongrass scented suds as the faucet runs into an empty sink. but he still takes her by surprise — mac heard the front door, and the greeting he lovingly cooed at the little mess of a pup that was donnie — but she didn’t expect the sudden pull of her attention into a kiss. the type of kiss that screams i’ve missed you, you’re mine. ❝ it was just a trip to the store -— didn’t think you’d miss me that much. ❞ words are murmured against him, lips interlocking with his once more -— softer this time before she drops her head with a shake and reaches for a towel.
perhaps he is too quiet on his feet, a habit granted from a forgotten life but maybe, much simpler considering donnie announced his presence quite loudly, she is just very comfortable in her home and lucas is merely allowed to take her by surprise . the groceries sit left behind on the counter as a swift move twirls mac against his chest . their kiss is a study of love and adoration, lips moving against each other with practiced familiarity but there is only one arm roped around her waist and holding her close . the other one holds a bouquet of flowers, a different surprise but one he hopes she’ll appreciate nonetheless . ❝ brought you something . ❞

𝐥𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐥 ( @scarecroz ) sent: butterflies our muses doing something new in bed.
fake keep reading bc tumblr broke it
he looks at her with a knight’s devotion, smitten beyond belief and through eyes that think she has hung the sun, the moon and the stars . and in their light, atop of his hips, she presents an ethereal queen . his marred flesh looks ugly in her wake but polished nails paint red lines into his skin, letting him know of her desire . raspy breath comes and goes but the arousal of having her oh so close stays to cloud his mind .
❝ advantage ? ❞ he dumbly repeats with a smile on kiss swollen lips . their dynamic is comfortable like this, a push and shove that’ll always end with lucas only taking whatever she is willing to give . but big hands dance up her thighs, kneading soft curves and playing with lacey fabric as he intently listens to honeyed filth .
words fail him, the blood teased elsewhere as instead a grunt leaves his mouth only to be sealed away with mac’s own . maybe he is a bit too rough as passion guides the kiss but her words paint flushed excitement onto damp chest, leaving him to simply hold on for the ride and nod . ❝ okay, yeah . ❞
his touch leaves mac’s body as he turns to blindly open the drawer . and yes, there is enough to last many a different games but fingertips find a stiff strap of fabric first and without a second thought ( as he so often finds joy in simply following her lead ) lucas pulls the harness out . the brain needs a moment to compute but when hips grind down against his once more curious delight entices a chuckle .

❝ i’m not going to fall … ❞ but she still listens, for his sake. a single hop down and mac’s firmly planted to the ground, dropping drastically to what felt like half his size as he so easily reached for the little bottle that teased her from the top shelf. ❝ thank you. ❞ the words are given to him through a grin as she moves to place the oil into her basket resting on the floor. for a moment she’s politely distracted, rearranging the the items she had shuffled about back onto the shelves in their rightful places and she almost expects him to leave. but he doesn’t. in fact, he sort of just stands there as if he hadn’t previously been doing anything at all.
❝ it’s sesame oil. you use it for, well, anything — sauteing, marinades, sauces … unfortunately nothing that would involve … ❞ the contents of his cart almost make her laugh before finishing her thought, ❝ … an unripe avocado, milk, and a newspaper from yesterday. ❞ there’s a bemused expression that contorts onto her face, something between a smile and bewilderment with furrowed brows. ❝ not to be completely nosy or anything but what on earth are you attempting to do with a single avocado and whole milk? you can’t even eat that yet … ❞
❝ from yesterday ——? ❞ cheeks colour ever so slightly as realisation dawns . it’s the embarrassment of a blank mind, a canvas once painted with intricate details now sits scraped bare in the confines of his skull . or maybe the composition isn't ruined, merely painted over with a yellow brick road he follows and follows without ever knowing where it leads him to . and currently, on the side of the path this girl stands with a smile on her face that brings mirth to his lips . from deep within his chest, a chuckle rumbles, given an edge by his clumsy shame before finally, familiar words spill . ❝ honestly, i don’t know . ❞
it’s a relief to admit this issue to a stranger, someone who doesn’t know more about him than he does and yet he fears she’ll end up hearing this answer a few more times . an odd thought considering they just met but lucas ( ? ) finds himself entranced by her, unwilling to leave this new bubble just yet . ❝ wasn’t aware it’s not ripe yet, the only other ones were so soft and —— i don’t know . ❞

HADESTOWN SENTENCE STARTERS - PT II
taken from the broadway cast album. feel free to change pronouns, etc.
IF IT’S TRUE
‘ is this how the world is? ’
‘ if it’s true what they say, i’ll be on my way. ’
‘ everybody knows that walls have ears. ’
‘ what’s the purpose of a man? ’
‘ what’s the use of your backbone if you never stand upright? ’
‘ but who are they to say what the truth is anyway? ’
‘ the ones who tell the lies are the solemnest to swear. ’
‘ the ones who load the dice always say the toss is fair. ’
‘ i’m asking if it’s true. ’
‘ i believe in us together more than anyone alone. i believe that with each other, we are stronger than we know. ’
HOW LONG?
‘ what are you afraid of? ’
‘ have a drink, why don’t you? ’
‘ he has the kind of love for her that you and i once had. ’
‘ she means nothing to me. ’
‘ ____, my light. ____, my darkness. ’
‘ all of my sorrow won’t fit in my chest. it just burns like a fire in the pit of my chest. ’
‘ nothing comes of wishing on stars. and nothing comes of the songs people sing, however sorry they are. ’
‘ give them a piece, and they’ll take it all. ’
‘ what do i care for the logic of kings? ’
‘ you and your pity don’t fit in my bed. you just burn like a fire in the pit of my bed, and i turn like a bird on a spit in my bed. ’
‘ how long? just as long as i am your wife. ’
‘ it’s true, the earth must die. but then the earth comes back to life, and the sun must go on rising. ’
CHANT (REPRISE)
‘ you gotta keep your head low if you wanna keep your head. ’
‘ if we’re free, tell me why i can’t look in my bother’s eye. ’
‘ got to hand it to you: guess you don’t scare easy, do you? ’
‘ are you brave, or stupid? ’
‘ it takes more than singing songs to keep a woman in your arms. ’
‘ if you want to hold a woman, hang a chain around her throat made of many carat gold; shackle her from wrist to wrist with sterling silver bracelets; fill her pockets full of stones, precious ones, diamonds; bind her with a golden band. ’
‘ could i change my fate? ’
‘ i was left behind. turned on one too many times. ’
‘ give me one more song. ’
‘ sing a song for me. make me laugh, make me weep. ’
EPIC III
‘ oh, it’s about me? ’
‘ i know how it was, because he was like me: a man in love with a woman. ’
‘ where’d you get that melody? ’
‘ i didn’t know how, and i didn’t know why, but i knew that i wanted to take you home. ’
‘ i saw you alone there, against the sky; it was like you were someone i’d always known. ’
‘ it was like i was holding the world when i held you. like mine were the arms that the whole world was in. ’
‘ what has become of the heart of that man now that he has everything? ’
‘ the more you have, the more you hold, the greater the weight of the world on your shoulders; see how you labor beneath that load? afraid to look up, and afraid to let go. ’
‘ you’ve grown so afraid that he’ll lose what you own. but what you don’t know is that what you’re defending is already gone. ’
‘ where is the treasure inside of your chest? where is your pleasure? where is your youth? ’
‘ where is the man with his arms outstretched to the woman he loves with nothing to lose? ’
‘ you brought the world back into tune is what you did. ’
‘ you know what they did? they danced. ’
PROMISES
‘ now what do i do? ’
‘ take me home with you. ’
‘ let’s go, let’s go right now! ’
‘ it’s a long road. it’s a long walk. are you sure you wanna go? ’
‘ i have no ring for your finger. i have no banquet table to lay. i have no bed of feathers, whatever promises i made. ’
‘ i can’t promise you fair sky above. i can’t promise you kind road below. but i’ll walk beside you, love, any way the wind blows. ’
‘ i don’t need a ring for my finger. i just need a steady hand to hold. ’
‘ he can’t say no. ’
‘ i don’t know where this road will end, but i’ll walk it with you, hand in hand. ’
‘ do you let me walk with you? and keep on walking, come what will? ’
WORD TO THE WISE
‘ can we go? ’
‘ gotta think quick, gotta save face. you’re caught between a rock and a hard place. ’
‘ whatche gonna do now? ’
‘ if you tell him no, you’re a heartless man. ‘
‘ you’re gonna have a martyr on your hands. ’
‘ if you let him go, you’re a spineless king, and you’re never going to get them in line again. ’
‘ damned if you don’t, damned if you do. the whole damn nation’s watching you. ’
‘ men are fools. men are frail. give them the rope, and they’ll hang themselves. ’
HIS KISS, THE RIOT
‘ with your kiss, the riot starts. ’
‘ all my children came here poor, clamoring for bed and board. ’
‘ have i made myself their lord just to fall upon the sword? ’
‘ who will lead them? ’
‘ who lays all our best-laid plans? ’
‘ she’s out of sight, and he’s out of his mind. ’
‘ every coward seems courageous in the safety of a crowd. ’
‘ nothing makes a man so bold as a woman’s smile and a hand to hold. ’
WAIT FOR ME (REPRISE)
‘ well, the good news is, he said that you can go. ’
‘ it’s a test. ’
‘ the meanest dog you’ll ever meet, he ain’t the hound dog in the street. he bares some teeth and tears some skin, but that’s the worst of him. the dog you really got to dread is the one that howls inside your head. it’s him whose howling drives men mad, and a mind to its undoing. ’
‘ wait for me, i’m coming with you. ’
‘ show the way so we can see. show the way the world could be. ’
‘ we will follow where you lead. ’
‘ think they’ll make it? ’
‘ you let them go. ’
‘ are we gonna try again? ’
‘ it’s time for spring. we’ll try again next fall. ’
‘ wait for me? ’
‘ you’ve got a lonesome road to walk. ’
‘ i’ll tell you where the real road lies: between your ears, behind your eyes. that is the path to paradise, and likewise, the road to ruin. ’
‘ we are not alone. ’
DOUBT COMES IN
‘ the wind is changing. ’
‘ who am i? ’
‘ why am i all alone? ’
‘ are you listening? ’
‘ i’m right here, and i will be to the end. ’
‘ who am i against him? why would he let me win? ’
‘ who am i to think that he wouldn’t deceive me just to make me leave alone? ’
‘ i used to see the way the world could be, but now the way it is is all i see. ’
ROAD TO HELL (REPRISE)
‘ it’s an old song, and that is how it ends. that’s how it goes. ’
‘ don’t ask how he could have come so close. the song was written long ago. ’
‘ it’s a tragedy. ‘
‘ here’s the thing: to know how it ends, and still begin to sing it again, as if it might turn out this time? i learned that from a friend of mine. ’
‘ got a match? ’
‘ he could make you see how the world could be in spite of the way that it is. can you see it? can you hear it? can you feel it like a train? is it coming? is it coming this way? ’
WE RAISE OUR CUPS
‘ pour the wine and raise a cup. ’
‘ some birds sing when the sun shines bright. my praise is not for them, but the ones who sing in the dead of night: i raise my cup to them. ’
‘ let all my singing follow you and bring you comfort. ’
‘ goodnight. ’

as he approaches a smile spreads across her face. it’s warm, formed with the realization that she could easily use him for just what she needed as he stood beside her and still had inches to spare ( despite her makeshift ladder ). that same smile could even be considered a silent thank you for not completely ignoring her, but it falls into a look of bemusement as he ponders her approach. ❝ and i don’t think they should be allowed to put things up ꜱᴏ high but here we are. a girl’s gotta do what she can … ❞
instead of hopping down off of the metal shelf that barely shifted under her weight, mac simply shimmies out of the way, clumsily knocking items off with her feet in the process. a finger points at what it is she needs. ❝ the green top, can you grab that for me, please? ❞ the answer was a clear yes, but she was at least being polite in her approach.
the girl, a woman upon closer inspection, is at least a head shorter than him and yet she commands attention easily . or maybe it’s something within him, a learned response from days long forgotten that has him follow her lead without second thought . ❝ hey, don’t —— ❞ but she moves without releasing her hold on the shelves and despite the cluttering at their feet, his first response is to reach out for her . a hand shots up, fingertips ghosting at the height of her waist just in case she needs to be caught .
❝ yes, just get down there . ❞ the voice is gruff but amused despite the frown sitting atop his features and as before, without thinking, he does as he is told . but she has a point, he realizes as his free hand easily finds what she is looking for . green top, helpfully labeled as ‘sesame oil’ and with a wayward glance to his own meager cart, he holds the bottle out for her . ❝ what even is this ? ❞

for @scarecroz
unfortunately, it wasn’t all that unusual for her to be scaling a grocery store shelf for the sake of getting something she needed that was of course on the top and far back. this was what stu was for — without him she made due. the toe of her white tennis shoes balanced on the edge of the bottom shelf, petite frame elongated in a poor attempt at reaching the bottle of sesame oil. at first, a groan of annoyance paired with a huff of defeat, her head hanging for only a moment before the sound of his cart’s wheels turn down the aisle.
��� hey - you! ❞ there’s a haphazard wave of her free hand as an attempt to get his attention. ❝ come here. ❞
confident steps have carried him to the store; confidence has long left him upon getting inside . after kansas he finds himself stumbling ever so often . it’s not just because of the limp, not just because of yet another injury on his SCAR mapped flesh ( a map he can’t read ) but because everything is new and strange and oh so complicated . so he pushes his cart with meager contents, fitting to a head so jarringly empty he keeps rediscovering the world .
two aisles down his reflection still waits for him to process his own looks, but an aisle further up ahead a woman calls out . pointing a finger at himself, he finds himself following her words like a puppet on a string . ❝ i don’t think you should do that —— climb the shelf, i mean . ❞
