#I burn for you

[bingiessm]

WARNING, LONG POST

Hello, welcome to the Bridgerton Season 3 trailer over-analysis corner. I am bingiessm--a film student that needs an outlet right now and wants to practice some film analysis--and am here to bring forth the FIRE/FLAME/CANDLE motif that was all over this trailer and I feel will be a HUGE motif throughout this season for Penelope and Colin (Polin).

So within the Polin context, let's look at each shot where a flame of a candle or lack thereof could represent their romantic interest in one another--and in particular the understanding/recognition of it.

This show is going all out putting candles EVERYWHERE--yes it was actual lighting in regency era, but you don't have to have it in the shot. That is a CHOICE. Also a choice to have it lit or not.

Also, "I burn for you" anyone?

FIRST SHOT: somewhat obvious but considering the context of both the mirror as well as other future shots within this trailer, this flame represents the feelings Penelope has for Colin, that she is well aware of and has held for a long while.

I also just have an inkling that she is seeing herself differently in this moment (feeling something for the first time possibly)--the way Nicola looks feels shocked/contemplative, but not scared as if it might be Whistledown-related.

SECOND SHOT: they are outside, talking about Penelope being a "lost cause." WHY IS THERE AN UNLIT CANDLE IN A MARKET STALL, if not to represent some unrealized feelings on Colin's part? It is also on his side of the frame. This is similar to this next one, both of which I believe are earlier in the season, as this is the start of him "helping" her.

THIRD SHOT: Once again, right there on Colin's side of the frame, YOU DID NOT NEED THIS IN THE FOREGROUND. It was a CHOICE to put a candle there again. They could have not had it, yes the shot would have had less depth and this does give a better sense of the space, placing them in a corner of the room instead of in an open space--but they didn't need to make it another CANDLE.

Colin has not fully recognized his feelings for Penelope yet, though they have always been there, and these two shots demonstrate that lack of understanding/feeling, but one that is soon to come with an unlit candle.

FOURTH SHOT: this, in the timing of the trailer, does come before the third, but RIGHT THERE IS A MIRROR AND CANDLES. It is on Penelope's side of the frame, but Colin, the mirror, and candles are what is in focus. She might be center frame, but we are drawn to the light as well as the contrast in Colin's outfit. This could arguably be Penelope's perspective, her burning feelings as he compliments her--also her future (we all want that mirror scene).

FIFTH SHOT: a HUGE TURNING POINT--a small flame, barely noticeable suddenly burning brighter as we focus on Colin in the background. This is so clearly him realizing his feelings for Penelope. It is also at the midpoint/turning point of the trailer when there is a big tonal shift. There is no more talk of Colin helping Penelope, but a larger focus on his perspective of her (all the gazing), the idea of romance, as well as mention of Debling--his rival. It will be a turning point for Colin when Debling--an actual suitor vying for Penelope's hand--comes into the picture. EDIT: Also going to add in, the candle is in a lantern--though that might have been easier to manage filming-wise--which could also represent him still holding back, especially with Debling in the picture.

SIXTH SHOT: This comes right after we hear Debling say "You look especially beautiful tonight, Miss Featherington." One of the many examples of Colin staring at the two of them, being jealous/worried. But right behind him? Oh, more candles. That they totally didn't need to have in the frame. Also, it doesn't look so much like a candle, but they are placed so close to one another that it looks like more of a flame. The lack of focus adds to this.

THEN WE GET TO THIS FINAL SEQUENCE--which imo is a FANTASY SEQUENCE

SEVENTH SHOT: Colin is coming from the darkness, with an unseen flame flickering directly behind him (small ember that he can't see).

EIGHTH SHOT: Penelope, also coming out of the dark, but with another flame on (what in this sequence is) her side of the frame. Though it is somewhat hidden behind these bars--some rough patches/guarded emotions? (probably depends on what point this is in the series).

NINTH SHOT: Penelope, already in the light of these fires, Colin entering with the large burning flame in the background covered by some growth.

TENTH SHOT: Penelope, lit by these fires, breathing heavily. A very clear close-up with so much blur to focus just on her face.

ELEVENTH SHOT: Colin, with a flickering/burning flame literally right behind him, lit by these other fires, staring right at Penelope.

So this whole sequence, in my opinion, is a dream sequence. But, in terms of this flame representation, this is Colin realizing he has feelings for Penelope. We see the flickering from the unseen light behind him in the seventh shot build and become the flame right behind him in the eleventh. It feels so obviously representative of the season. (The fog also seems to lift for him in this sequence, he comes out of the fog to Penelope--I could say more about this sequence and why I do think it is Colin's dream, mostly due to costuming and lighting and the fog as well) ______________________

And thus comes to a close my analysis/evidence of the FLAME/FIRE motif between Polin. I am cutting myself off here because this is a lot and I have an actual film shoot to plan. Thank you if you actually read all this. I love film analysis and Bridgerton is so fun and a stress reliever for me, so this was fun for me to write out.

Anyway, if any more of this fire/flame stuff comes up I might add on later.

TLDR: they are using fire and candles to represent the burning love between these two.

Once Upon A Midnight Clear // A Viviane + Kallias Story by ehoney

Chapter 4: Thundersnow

Snippet Warnings: Language, Sexual Content

Every point of contact, every inch of his body pressed against hers was a symphony of unsung truth.

She had never seen him so undone.

She had never wanted anything more than his undoing.

“You cannot say things like that,” Kal rasped against her. His thumb caressed her lower lip in a sinful stroke. “Do you know what it does to me, hearing you say things like that?”

Gods, he was on the brink of admitting it.

So Viviane parted her lips and slowly slipped that broad thumb of his into her mouth. The gentlest suck, her tongue softly lapping at the first blissful, true taste of him, thirsting infinitely for more.

Kallias groaned, dark and deep enough to shudder the earth beneath her feet, the maleness of the sound sending a shot of arousal straight to her core.

He pulled his hand from her lips as if it were the most difficult thing he had ever done, and sank his own into the base of her hair, lowering his forehead against hers.

“That fucking mouth of yours,” he murmured reverently.

The words she rasped back were equally wicked.

“It belongs to you.”

Start at the beginning.

I Burn for You {Teaser}

An A Court of Thorns and Roses fanfiction. Elriel. Period AU. 19th Century. Written alongside @snelbz .

Click here to read the summary and for more chapters!

A/N: Chapter 1 will be posted on Thursday, September 1! T/W: None

Dear Elain, 

I hope you are enjoying your time in Spring. I have no doubt that the gardens missed you in your absence, for you admire and befriend every flower you pass. I am writing to share my regret with you. When I saw you at Rhysand’s, I did not speak to you as I should have. There were many things left unsaid that should have been voiced, and those unspoken words have haunted me since you left Velaris once more. 

I have missed you.

I have missed talking with you and laughing with you. I have missed the way your eyes light up when you smile and how you blush when you jest. I have missed our promenades and our turns about the ballroom. I miss how you look when the light hits you just right, although the image of such beauty has been imprinted in my mind. 

I must confess that I have not been forthcoming about matters of the heart. Do you remember when we sat by the Sidra and you joked that we should just marry one another? For you, it was simple amusement but for me it was anything but. For a year now it has been all that I have thought of. Being your husband. At first, it was only a thought and nothing more but then I grew closer to you and that thought became something more, something that could possibly become reality.

Perhaps I am mad, but I thought you may have felt the same for me. That you could see yourself as my wife.

Then, at the wedding, our last conversation seemed to go horribly wrong. Perhaps I am to blame for that but I feel it may have been a miscommunication that had destroyed our friendship and whatever else there may have been between us. I do wish to make amends, to let you know that I still think of you every minute of every day.

Azriel set down his pen and read over what he had written thus far, every word forcing him to become more and more anxious. Elain did not want to speak with him. She had made that perfectly clear when he last saw her. 

Why was he wasting his time writing to her when she would most likely not even open the letter once she sees that it is from him?

Pushing his chair back from his desk, Azriel snatched the parchment off his desk and walked to the fireplace where it soon went up in flames until there were no words left to taunt him. 

He and Elain would never gain what they could have had and perhaps it was time for him to accept that. 

~.~.~

Chapter 1 coming September 1.

Debased

AN: Again a wonderful commission from @kimageddon and once again, i have to write a fic of it. Thank you so much hun!

Onora was walking around the hotel roof, deep in thought.

She had another lovely rendezvous with Maul, but this time they met inside a casino that was also a hotel. She met him with a skin tight black dress and stilettos, something she felt powerful wearing.

When she sauntered to him, she acted like she met him for the first time. Maul caught on quick and played along. They spent the night shamelessly flirting with each other, Onora even sitting on his lap as he squeezed her thigh. It was a fun game.

Then one of the people he was talking to suddenly spoke to her when Maul was out of view.

“you should be careful with that one, hes very dangerous.”

Onora smiled awkwardly and then nodded,a little weirded out by the warning.

It then happened five more times, so she got a little annoyed and went to her room.

She changed to casual clothes and decided to take a bit of fresh air on the hotels roof. She was walking admiring the garden when she felt a presence behind her. She quickly turned around in a fighting stance, seeing a smug maul looking at her. Her lover was sitting on the ledge, watching her.

“Your instincts are as quick as ever, dear heart.” he said, as he leaned against the wall, “What ails your troubled mind?”

“Eh, just a lot of guests were warning me about you.” she said with a shrug. “I got five in total.”

Maul chuckled.

“They are wise to do so. My reputation precede me.”

Onora rolled her eyes at that statement.

“I don't need protection maul. I knew what I was getting my into when I started being with you.”

“Oh really?” he said in a interested tone “Do tell.”

Onora sighed,wondering just how to put this into words.

“You are cruel.” she said, “You are also selfish. You have a lot of passion and desires. You will stop at nothing to get what you want.”

Maul blinked and smirked at her explanation, but then he noticed how uncomfortable she looked.

“Are you worried that Iwill be cruel to you, Onora?”

“Will you?” she asked, her feet shuffling. Maul pondered the question and beckoned her to come closer. She obeyed and he stroke his fingers down her cheek.

“I could be.”

Onora blinked in surprise.

“Like you said, i am a selfish and demanding man. I crush my enemies to get to my goal.” he explained “But dear heart, do you not know me?”

He tips her chin up, his smouldering gold eyes meeting her dual-colored ones.

“For you, I will conquer worlds. I will bathes you in their riches. When you are ill, i will tend to you. When you are hurt, i will throw you dead enemies at your feet. For you kisses and your love, i will be weak and worship you.”

he traced his thumb over her bottom lip.

“For you Onora, my beloved goddess, I will be debased.”

Onora stared at Maul, a blush creeping on her face as she let out a shaky breath.

“Feck.”

Maul grinned and laid a scorching kiss on her lips Onora responded with a moan, snaking an arm around his waist to pull him closer.

Not a bad way to end a good night.

Feeling ?

The one that makes it impossible for you to look away from them at any given moment.

When your , body and soul , feel as if they could burst into flames , whenever the two of you are near.

When all you are able to do in their presence is to fight the urge to lean forward and... and touch their lips with yours.

"You and I are lovers

When nighttime folds around our bed

In peace, we sleep entwined

And your love flows through me

Though an ocean soothes my head

I burn for you, I burn for you"

God, how conceited he is, she thought as she looked down on him. But, also, her heart turned over for him, it shifted and burned.
