#Simultaneously the sweetest thing and the saddest thing

[meraki-yao]

I just thought of something: during the lake scene, while Henry was spiraling into a panic attack, Alex was tracing his back.

(When I first watched it I thought "if he's gonna kiss his neck, his shoulder, or any part of his back, I will fucking combust")

I suddenly remembered that I read a lot of Malec (from shadowhunters) fanfics where Alec traces runes on Magnus, a love confession from his own culture.

So back to RWRB, what if Alex, so damn in love and trying to tell Henry that, wasn't mindlessly doodling, but he was actually writing "I love you", "Te Amo" on Henry's back, already confessing before his mouth can say the words?

... Well shit I just made myself sad.

[motherednature]

A fawn approaches slowly, tail down, ears relaxed. It bumps her hand with its head. and presses its wet nose it her cheek before giving a soft "beh!" (Idek if you're getting these tumblr has been eating all the asks I send to ppl xbnzbxnz)

            AS SHE EVER is, mother nature is alone. hidden among the dense pines of this snow-covered forest, the woman cloaked in seasonal white is hardly noticeable as she examines these trees firsthand,  running her fingers along their needles, taking samples of their bark, and at times, if she’s honest, getting distracted. fine motor skills are required for the delicacy of her work, where the difference between a successful experiment and a failing one comes down to the atom. and so on her breaks, though short, her mind wanders. it’s a foolish thing to do when her mind’s natural state in solitude is melancholy. 

           she has the fingers of her free hand pressed harshly into her eyes ( focus, focus, focus, pick yourself up, it has been eons, no one is going to do it for you ) when she feels soft and wet against her cheek. she does not jump. she does not yelp. mother nature is secure in the presence of animals, as they have been her only refuge for these long and lonely years. never mind that they are genetically predisposed to recognize her as mother. these precious babe still comes at the right time.

          ‘ hello, darling, ’ she coos with one of her rare smiles. she holds the fawn’s face between her winter-blackened hands and surveys it. the lilt that comes into her voice is rarer still. ‘ hello. you’ve come to comfort me, hmn? have you? that is very sweet of you. ’ sweeter than i deserve. ‘ yes it is. you needn’t worry. i’m alright. it is merely difficult to focus at times. ’

#`` lkjsldfj i aM IM JUST V SLOW im sorry ;___; #`` this is so :( nice and sweet thank you :( #`` sera being comforted by animals is simultaneously the sweetest #`` and the saddest thing #`` bc....well i should write up a proper headcanon for it actually. #`` stay tuned. #|| ⚘ THERE IS NONE WHO CAN HIDE FROM THE SKY.

To me, the simultaneously saddest and sweetest thing about Cardan and Jude is that by themselves, they are their own worst enemy. They spend so much time fighting their own shadows, thinking they have to be these monstrous things in order to get by and believing they aren't allowed to have something nice or good because they've never had it, not really.

But together, after they've stripped some of that armor, they bring out the absolute best in one another. Jude teaches Cardan he isn't some failed, ill-fated forgotten child undeserving of love. Cardan teaches Jude that her mortality and everything that comes with it has never been a weakness, it's power.

They are mirrors, each reflecting the heart of the other so they can finally see their truth.

And I just... really fucking love that.

#its sad because it took them that fucking long to realize #okay well it took JUDE a whole three fucking books and she still is #'hmm idk he says he loves me and chose me over any other fae and put his life & kingdom on the line for me' #'eh still seems kinda fishy to me he's up to something' #anyWay im feeling some type of way this morning clearly #tfota #cardan greenbriar #high king cardan #high queen jude #jude duarte #jurdan #the folk of the air #holly black #thanks so much holly for giving me two more fictional shitheads to feel things about #;felix does a think

what's the going rate on Extra Thoughts™ in the Linens-verse setting? if you have more floating around the top of your head I'll happily eat them all up, but I understand that you may have more current (and unrelated) thoughts/interests. either way, thank you for my Eskel/Geralt life

oh man, am I allowed to barter Extra Thoughts for things? Usually it’s more of an effort toward, like, not unleashing them constantly all over everyone. I have a migraine but also don’t want to go to bed yet so I’ve got my green safety glasses on and I can look at my computer, LET’S SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I START WRITING DOWN A FEW LITTLE THOUGHTS

- The story I actually have on my list of things to write Next, someday, when my ability to write more than a thousand words a week returns from the war, is a fairly direct follow-up to The Trial of Lambert: it’s what happens when the rest of the wintering witchers find out that Geralt may still be up for getting fucked. (For a minute I was like, oh no, this will lead to a loss of status and they will all respect him less, and then I realized that no, that is not what they think, they will all just be like PLAY TIME WITH LITTLE WOLF REDUX??? YES PLEASE??? KAER MORHEN’S REIGNING CHAMPION MOST ENTHUSIASTIC BOTTOM IS BACK IN ACTION???) So, uh, yeah, that one is summarized on the list as “KM winter gangbang feat. Jens/Slava” which means that Jens and Slava are just sort of hanging out on the edge of the gangbang, enjoying the show--it’s a very pleasant party, everyone is having a good time even if Geralt is having the very best time--and once in a while Jens reaches over as-if-absently to pet Slava’s hair or shoulder or neck and Slava holds very, very still and pretends not to notice.

- Jens and Slava, incidentally, are not at Kaer Morhen during the massacre, although the other witchers also never heard from them again afterward. They just sort of... went away somewhere. Somewhere quiet. They have an orchard. You can do a lot with fruit trees when your natural lifespan is three hundred years and your other main project is spending several decades working on being able to snuggle. They are patient men.

- Their neighbors are fully aware of what they are and will vigorously deny it to anyone who asks. Those are THEIR nice neighbor fellas who grow peaches and incidentally Handle Other Problems that may arise in the vicinity, and they handle them very well (and grow very nice peaches) so the villagers aren’t having ANYBODY interfere with them. 

- Where was I.

- Oh yeah, uh, fairly mild video game spoilers (which are also possibly Netflix spoilers?) incoming!! read at your own risk!

- RIGHT so hey guess who had the actual undisputed #1 saddest and sweetest Trial of the Linens ever in the history of the Wolf School. LEO. (haha what you’ve never heard of Leo?? He’s a very important character in the first Witcher game for about half an hour or however long it takes you to get to the part where he dies in front of you, it’s very sad.) But like--Geralt’s gone, either trying to keep Ciri safe or dead, and Vesemir, feeling the empty nest with Ciri gone, somehow acquires this teenager who wants to train to be a witcher despite the fact that they can’t really MAKE witchers anymore, so he brings him to Kaer Morhen and starts training him, and Lambert and Eskel come home as much as they can manage to help out, and, well. There’s one old-fashioned Trial they can give him, and maybe it’s more important than ever, to get to know and love their new little brother, and to teach him to be one of them. It’s the first time Lambert ever takes a trainee to bed. And then he dies! So that works out great. Lambert is in no way traumatized by that. More than he already was. 

- Intergenerational witcher trauma: sometimes it flows both ways!!

- Of course before Leo there was ANOTHER little baby kinda-sorta trainee, and that was CIRI. And one day they’re talking to her about the Trials and kinda telling her how awful they all were and then all of a sudden Geralt and Lambert and Eskel all, simultaneously, remember The Other Trial and their brains short out thinking of it in the context of Ciri. She is very confused but accepts their explanation, once they boot back up, that they just have some really bad memories and don’t want to talk about it anymore today.

- The thing is, the actually logical person to give Ciri a Trial of the Linens, if she were to have one, would be Triss. Lambert works this out and it’s solidly 80% of why he’s an asshole to Triss for literally decades afterward, like holding a grudge against someone for something they did in a dream you had one time and never even told them about.

- One of the mercies of his amnesia is that Geralt forgets having had this set of realizations, except then his memory comes back and he HAS THEM ALL OVER AGAIN, which is probably worse.

#asked and answered #the witcher #the trial of the linens #linens-verse #there is a decent probability that i will actually write at least one of these at some point #as decent as the probability of me ever writing anything anyway #migraines are the worst you guys #but hey i did plink out two sentences before getting really ambitious and writing a tumblr post!! #takingoffmyshoes

Dating Jay Gatsby Would Include...

A/N: I personally prefer the 1974 version of the Great Gatsby which is what I based this off of but it works with any adaptation of course. I would love to know, who’s your Gatsby? Robert Redford or Leonardo DiCaprio? 

You meet by accident at one of his parties. 

You’re only slightly tipsy on champagne as you stumble through the biggest house you’d ever seen looking for your friend to try who’d run off on you. Blindly you end up in a study where a man in a suit is watching the fireworks out the window. 

He is one of the most beautiful and saddest men you have ever seen and immediately you are hooked. 

You become fast friends with the sweet writer fellow living next door, enjoying his company and enjoying even more how good of a friend he is to Gatsby

Being the only one to refer to him by his first name to the point where it’s almost a pet name

Speaking of pet names, he seems to almost never call you by your actual name. Instead calling you sweetheart, darling, love, etc. 

Going on drives together through town just the two of you. 

He would be extremely clingy. Like, he has to be with you at all times and needs attention constantly. Not to say you can’t do things on your own but if he can be with you then he wants to be with you. 

He has trouble sleeping at night. Mostly from nightmares that wake you both up while other times you wake up to find him out of bed, looking out the window or wandering the house being tormented by some thoughts or memories that he refuses to share. 

He can’t sleep at all if you’re not in bed next to him though. He will pull you close to him in bed and rest his head on top of yours. It’s the only way he can sleep is with you next to him and touching you. 

As much as you insist it’s not necessary, Gatsby is always trying to buy you things. You’ll come home frequently to find a new dress in your favorite color or a stack of new books by authors you like waiting for you. 

And flowers. Always flowers, your home looks more like a greenhouse than an actual house some weeks. 

A part of Gatsby will always be trying to buy your affections like he did with Daisy, even though you tell him a thousand times you could care less about money. 

But no matter how much money he spends on you, when you do any small things for him he acts like they are the sweetest more amazing things in the world. 

Making him dinner, bringing over a book you think he’d like, rubbing his shoulders after a long day any of it will make him blush and look at you like you hung the stars. 

Whenever you ask him about his business he will immediately try and change the subject. He doesn't want you involved in anything illegal. 

He can be scary when he's angry but he tries not to let you see him mad, even when you’re arguing.

Most of your arguments are small but frustrating to no end about how secretive he is and how closed off he can be sometimes. 

They usually end with you storming off next door to Nick’s house and venting to him while he tries to get you to sit down and drink the tea he’s made you both and calmly tries to get you to think of Gatsby’s point of view too. 

Nick is ultimately the one who tells you about Daisy Buchanan and Gatsby’s obsession with her. He thought you deserved to know when it became clear Gatsby was never going to mention it. 

Gatsby swears he’s moved on from Daisy though and that he’s realized Daisy never really loved him and he only loved the idea of her once he’d met you and realized what healthy love felt like.

Feeling a simultaneous hate and pity for Daisy.

Top tier romantic. He is the guy who whispers sweet nothings and is constantly telling you how much he loves you. 

He needs constant reassurance that you love him and that you're not going to leave him. Even then it’s always something that he will be concerned about because of how insecure he is. 

He low key wants you to quit your job so you can spend more time together. 

You're the first person he tells about his past. He thinks you'll leave. He cries when you tell him it doesn't change how you feel about him.

Poor, 12-year-old Alec trying to flirt with Raphael is simultaneously the sweetest thing, the saddest thing, and the weirdest thing

#gotsm #ghosts of the shadow market #alec lightwood #raphael santiago #the shadowhunter chronicles #tsc

[saltybane]

I totally believe Magnus is having a subconscious moment with Alec while he’s nearly practically dead. Like having a moment with the person he loves most. The rooms to empty and bright and Magnus looks too sad for it to be a real dance scene. Like while cat and Alec are trying to bring him back. Kinda like when Luke dreamed of Jocelyn he was passed out in 1.06

Magnus dreaming of him and Alec dancing in their living room while he’s on the brink of death is simultaneously the sweetest and most saddest thing ever. And it hurts my heart beyond belief. But it does line up with what Todd said about the dance scene “rocking us”. Fuck.

Halloween: After a few years of settled life, a couple of familiar faces appear when the veil lifts. Laura had found Erica wandering near in the space between the here and after, and they spent their 'time' together. They couldn't help during the bad times -- the joy of afterlife politics -- but once everything settled they knew they could at least say goodbye one last time. The next year the Pack find themselves with a line out the door -- helpful humans are hard to locate, (1/3)

and Stiles and the others help Lydia (who even the weakest spirits are able to talk to) take notes and record requests and generally get as much done as they can between dawn and dusk. It becomes a thing. They track down who they need to in between Halloweens and have a system in place for the next Oct 31st. After a few years, when everyone is settled and there is ‘trick or treating’ for the kids in the Pack (as well as 'Meet and Seekings’ for the adults), Claudia and Talia finally appear. (2/3)

They don’t line up with the other ghosts, just appear next to Stiles and Derek so they can meet their new grandbaby and give their boys their blessings. It’s a good year, even if Stiles ends up eating his own weight in candy after, and Derek sobs loud enough that all of the kids in the Pack puppy-pile him until the sun goes down on Nov 1. (3/3)

Aw, this is simultaneously the sweetest and the saddest thing! 

I love the idea of Claudia and Talia turning up to meet their grandchild, and the idea that Halloween night becomes an open door policy for ghosts with unfinished business is just wonderful!

Best/worst title? Best title:  i really can’t decide between: ‘the heart speaks in whiskers’ vs ‘blueberry and dandelions’ so take both Worst title: Dearly Beloved,,,,,,, i could’ve gone WAY cheesy

Best/worst first line?

best (Dreaming)

“You don’t have to do this.” Pidge says to him, just as the dawn begins to settle. He’s surrounded by faceless people, or atleast it feels that way with how little they look at him, so he focuses on nothing but her. Heavy makeup is traced across his eyelids, golden lines echoing the whisper of sun beams that paint his skin.

i love,,,,, yellow imagery in my fics,,,,,,, sue me 

also hidge friendship! yeah!!!

worst (Molten Gold): 

Lotor falls for the boy in yellow before he realizes it even happens.

just because i Remember not being able to think of anything more interesting to start with so i just slapped that on

Best/worst last line?

i waver so much but FINAL ANSWER:

i have TWO best ones, though.

(Dreaming): 

And Shiro is a greedy god, a selfish god, a lonely god. But forever and always would he be a kind one.

(Pas de Deux, adagio)

It feels the exact same way about two months later, — sending a current of pleasant electricity thrumming through him, until his fingertips tingle and his heart soars— when Hunk proposes in the very pasture they'd met in. Keith, if it isn't obvious by the way he smooches Hunk silly, says yes.  

And they lived happily ever after.

everytime i think about this fic i always wanna write a million and one words about it

worst (weathered):

They didn’t say anymore words, but the love (not to mention, the unadulterated mitigation of their combined grief) still nestled its way to his heart. There would never be enough time to describe how happy he was to see them again. And he knew that (and maybe he always knew) despite everything, here in his mama’s arms with his brothers and the familiar smell of grass and ocean, would always be his home.

only because it’s s o l o n g and kinda confusing to read

General questions:

Looking back, did you write more fics than you thought you would this year, less than you thought, or about what you predicted?

I wrote a bunch less than last year, but this year was OOF so I didn’t do as much (93k vs last years 200+k ;w;)

although this IS disregarding my spice fics where i wrote almost 38k so,,, i didn’t do TOO terribly :D

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted last year? spice: hunk/sendak......

but other than that, i’ve really stuck to heith/shunk! What’s your favorite story this year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you the happiest.

Familiar Faces is by far my favorite of the year.  It was fun, it was kooky, it was funny, it was dramatic.  Structurally it was among the most challenging (Two chapters happen simultaneously and that had to be plotted out well).  Also, it was just super fun to work with Velkyn!

Okay, NOW your most popular story.

By kudos, Coming Through the Noise.  Which is cool!  I’d never seen a Gen truth serum fic before, and it was extra fun for a very reserved character like Shiro. Story most underappreciated by the universe? Unrelenting, probably.  It’s all about the nature of being a Hufflepuff from Hunk’s POV, so I get why it doesn’t get a big audience.  But I love it.  Puffs need more love :( Story that could have been better? I like Shackles on my Wings, but it probably could have done with an extra polish (most things I write could tbh) Sexiest story?

DEFINITELY on my mind over @ my horni write write

Saddest story? god.... Silence is Golden for sure,,,,, (tw for torture/whump/i guess mild gore???)

Most fun? Pas de Deux, adagio,,,,,, i love myself some fairy tale (*cough* barbie* cough) crossovers.

Story with single sweetest moment?

i really gotta go with Pas de Deux again

"I'll be fine." Keith says as he pulls away. "Tonight isn't about this. Let's... let's dance. I've never danced before."

"Really?" Then, realizing that no, Keith probably would have never gotten the opportunity, Hunk stands and offers his elbow to him. "Well, I'm obligated to show you the best time of your life now."

They don't head towards the ballroom. Instead, they skirt around the edges of the castle until they find a window, left ajar just enough so that they can hear the music loud and clear.

Hunk offers his hand, and Keith lets his drop in his large palm. He's gathered up, then, with one arm around his waist, and it takes a bit of ushering from Hunk for him to catch the rhythm. Keith stumbles over his own feet more than once, caught between looking down at the motions and up at Hunk's face.

In the end, Hunk lifts him just a few inches up and lets him rest on the tip of his boots so that he can dance them around without having to worry about stepping on Keith's toes. He isn't wearing shoes, after all.

They dance until the song changes twice, and Keith finds himself pressing an ear against Hunk's heart, basking in the steady beat for as long as he's allowed. Every so often, Hunk will hum to the tune and the vibrations will course straight through Keith's body, like light through a rainbow prism.

Keith was right when he'd assumed that his dress would be fun to twirl in. The fabric is kind against his skin as it flips this way and that, but Hunk’s touch against his back is even kinder.

Hardest story to write?

All We Need, because i was at a r e a l l y bad place when i tried to tame that beast, but i’m so proud of how it turned out, and also i’d probably do anything for peach c’:

Easiest/most fun story to write?

left in the dust flowed out of me like water out of a spout,,,, it was Magical

Did any stories shift your perceptions of the characters?

mmmm i don’t think so? All We Need made me more conscientious of canon characterization, but by like maybe 10% asljhadl

Most overdue story?

dude..... All We Need, again. peachie was so patient and kind while it took me like 80 years ;w; 

Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?

i tried to be more Flowy n Metaphorical in my writing because i love that shit, and i think it’s going pretty well. i lost my touch somewhere around the end of summer for a bit, bc again i was having some Fucky moments, but overall i think i’m doing alright!!!! 

What are your fic writing goals for next year?

i have a couple long fic ideas i want to do!!! which i totally don’t mind talking about if anyone happens to be a little curious. one is an arriety au (bc i’ve never read the borrowers) and the other is that one old west au i literally never shut up about. 

there’s another one i’m iffy about where it’s basically shunk in Therapy together yayyyyyy, but we’ll see if that one stays dead

but overall: my biggest goal is to write more longfics for rarepairs!!! also more things w/ women bc i’ve really been slacking on that end. 

also maybe something for she-ra? i wrote down a couple ideas the other day that i’d love to explore

✍️ wish me luck!!!

digrupert replied to your post “Mitts was my dad’s cat; rescued him as a stray kitten in Utah and used...”

i dont mean to intrude but "he's fine, he's dead" is simultaneously the saddest, sweetest, cutest and wisest thing ive ever read

not intruding at all! probably why my mom tells that little anecdote to strangers in the street

#she goes a little overboard telling people about me and my brother when we were kids #like i would have a friend over to go to the movies and she'd be like 'oh hang on let me tell you about edmund's entire time in kindergarten

Completed fic recs?

we are what we pretend to be - C_AND_B

After the unrestricted office access, and the flowers, and the surprise visits to Catco, everyone just kinda starts to assume Kara and Lena are dating, and maybe they should let them. (AKA, Lena and Kara really just date whilst pretending they’re fake dating).

Giant - coeurastronaute

Kara and Lena meet in high school, but then life. (not a high school AU). Lena leaves and they meet up again, this time as Supergirl and Lena Luthor.

Swipe Right for a Super - eluigih

Lena Luthor matches with Supergirl on tinder and she’s convinced that she’s being catfished.

I Just Want to Love You in My Own Language - lynnearlington

“In the center of it all, on her desk, is a gorgeous glass vase full of over two dozen lavender roses. “Pretty,” she murmurs as she comes around to look at them. In the middle of the light purple flowers is a small card, thank you written in elegant script over the surface. There’s no name, but there doesn’t need to be.” A love story, told with flowers.

Whispers - gabs88

Lena was never supposed to be more than a friend. Kara isn’t ready for anything more than that–so maybe she should stop kissing her for a second. When Lillian Luthor is unleashed back on the world, suspicions fly and actions taken that could change everything.

Do not go gentle into that good night - Khrat9

Isn’t it weird, Lena thinks bitterly, how the odds keep on stacking against her She never asked to be a Luthor. She isn’t even a real one in the first place. And yet, here she is, dragged by the arms through cold, silent corridors, surrounded by a dozen guards in their polished armor. She is bound, bruised and dirty, escorted to be judged for crimes her brother committed. Lena chuckles derisively. Not Luthor enough in her family’s eyes but enough to be punished in their stead by everyone else. [Medieval AU]

listen closely and the stars will sing - celaenos

Lena casts her mind around for the last time she felt this unmoored, this off-balance, by a woman, and can’t come up with anything. Kara Danvers is unlike anybody that Lena has ever met; the sweetest, bubbliest person Lena’s yet to come across, and simultaneously one of the saddest, who is probably lying to everyone that she meets. It’s an impossible contradiction to wrap your head around, and Lena should probably stop hiding in this bathroom and trying. (Or, Kara and Lena get parent-trapped into a relationship by a goofy little alien.)

but i’m weak (and what’s wrong with that?) - exprsslyfrbidden

Lillian threatens to hurt Supergirl if Lena continues their friendship. Naturally, this means they should become friends with benefits.

Unavoidable Dreams - C_AND_B

“Kara had sex dreams. About Lena. Kara Danvers had extremely vivid sex dreams about Lena Luthor and she couldn’t stop thinking about it. It comes in snippets, and flashes, and visions and then it slams into her all at once, so fast she can barely breathe through the palpitations in her chest. Then it lingers. It’s there when she blinks, and when she sleeps, and every time she turns and finds Lena by her side (which seems to be increasing with every passing day).” Or, Kara has sex dreams and then just awkwardly fumbles through interactions with Lena.

certain dark things - seabiscuit

Lena Luthor knows it’s going to be a bad day when she wakes up to her star chart app notifying her that Mercury is officially in retrograde. Or, Lena Luthor almost gets killed, again, and winds up in witness protection for the first time.

in the sun - isawet

Lena needs a date and Kara needs a job. (fake dating supercorp)

Not Afraid to Fall - prettyaveragewhiteshark

Lena Luthor has a strictly sexual relationship with Supergirl, but when her feelings for amateur journalist Kara Danvers begin to grow, everything gets a lot more complicated. See inside for smut, feelings, rogue DEO agents, feelings, explosions, angst, and more feelings!

Secretaries Know Best - Rhino (RhinoMouse)

Jess has been Ms.Luthor’s assistant long enough to know that she has terrible taste in women. So when her boss finally starts crushing on newbie reporter and loyal beam of sunshine Kara Danvers, Jess rejoices. But there are vultures hovering, unworthy boys and a pesky caped wonder and Jess will damned before she lets them ruin things.

no one but you (got me feeling this way) -  AgentJoanneMills

It’s not like Kara deliberately sets out to make her life harder than it should be. It’s not her fault that she’s excitable, okay, and she forgets things sometimes and maybe those things should not be forgotten under any circumstances. Maybe those things include, well, housing forms, which as it turns out are super important to submit on time if she wants to not be homeless in her sophomore year of college. Her sister’s going to give her so much crap about this (Alternatively: in which Kara forgot to fill out the housing form and was left with no choice but to live in the most exclusive apartment on campus.)
