Why are you so talenteddddddddd UGH YOU ARE KILLING ME I AM DYING. You feed be the most delicious crumbs of qpr and it SUSTAINS ME it FEEDS MY SOUL. Tis not enough that you bring me thoughtful character interactions and the wonderful messy nuance of caring about people. It’s not enough that you treat your characters with such dignity and love. You also paint these loving moments of pure gentleness and love and I AM CLAWING MY HANDS DOWN MY FAAAAAAAAACE WHY GAV WHY

Hey. Good job <3

EEEEEHEHEHEHE THANK YOU...... WAH???? this is my goal :') you're so nice to meeeeee wah

for real this is exactly the sort of response i am aiming to elicit and i am laughing and also very :') :') :') thank you so much your encouragement has meant a LOT to me in many many ways and at many moments but particularly with this fic (the two aces qpr fic, loneliness into loneliness)

'but gav' you may say, 'i already know what fic you're talking about, why are you specifying?' well, in retribution for nice to me, i am adding another clip from that scene-

The sound of the programme that had been on when Jamie walked into the living room continues in the dull, distant way of background noise. It’s definitely louder by literal volume but it fades away, overshadowed by that heartbeat, by Dani’s breathing. The hand holding onto the nape of Jamie’s neck stays there, grip heavy and grounding in a way he’s come to like quite a lot. Dani’s other hand runs slowly up and down his back, tracing the same path over and over. After a while, the brush of his palm stops at the small of Jamie’s back and lingers there. Dani’s fingers curl, toying with the hem of Jamie’s shirt.

“May I…” He doesn’t explain further or finish the question fully, doesn’t elaborate. The tone of his voice is awkward and unsure in a way it rarely sounds. Despite the barely-begun sentence, what he’s asking is clear.

“Like before?” Jamie asks, mumbled into Dani’s collar. He remembers falling asleep with Dani’s hand on his side, the way it had felt to have that arm around him, the warm press of skin against his under his shirt, and he wants that. He realizes, suddenly and powerfully, that he wants that. When Dani hums his confirmation, like before, Jamie nods. He doesn’t know that he trust himself to speak, to admit what he wants out loud, but he can nod.

As soon as he nods, anxiety sparks to life in Jamie’s gut. He’s convinced, in a quick and dizzying snap, that he’s terribly misinterpreted the question, that the way that Dani had touched him that night had to be a one-time thing. That he would get something like that more than once seems lucky in an impossible kind of way, the kind of way that just didn’t happen to him. Except that, part of the way into the thought process that’s beginning to pull threads of tension back into his shoulders, Jamie feels Dani’s hand slip under his shirt.

It calms Jamie immediately. A breath he hadn’t realized he was holding, trapped frozen and nervous in his lungs, rushes out and every bit of stress flees his body under the press of the wide palm against the small of his back. He shudders and closes his eyes when Dani’s hand shifts a bit, pressing slightly harder.

“Jamie?” Dani asks, going very still.

The question is just one word, just his name, and Jamie has never been very good at deciphering the secondary meanings behind what people said when they didn’t say what they meant, but this is Dani. Something about the fact that it’s Dani, about the time they’ve spent together recently, the faint fear he recognizes very clearly in his friend’s voice, though, all of it adds up to Jamie being pretty damn sure he knows what the question had meant.

Am I hurting you? Is this okay? Should I stop?

Again, Jamie finds he can’t quite speak. He starts to try, to gather up ‘please don’t stop’ and ‘this is so much fucking better than okay’ and force it, any of it, out of his mouth, but he can’t. It all gets caught up in his chest, not even making it to his throat, never mind into the world. Since that’s not working, he just nods again, pressing his face hard into Dani’s chest. Jamie tries to communicate without words that laying here with Dani, Dani’s hand beneath his shirt, skin against skin, is better than okay. It’s warm and safe and perfect. It makes him feel fuzzy and happy inside the way that he does when he watches Sam get Man of the Match, or sees Roy look at him like he’s proud of him, or when Keeley stands on her toes to kiss him on the cheek.

Something of what he means must get across because Dani doesn’t pull away. Instead he breathes deep and slow, shifting Jamie’s head ever so slightly with each breath, and starts drawing his hand up and down Jamie’s back. The programme keeps going in the background, but the telly may as well not be on at all. With his eyes closed and the touch taking up all of the attention that he has to give, it’s like Jamie’s world has narrowed down to this couch.

There’s a strange sort of alertness to it. Jamie scrunches his eyelids even tighter shut and tries to pinpoint what it is, what he’s feeling. The conclusion comes to him slowly, and it sends a faint, unsteady shiver through his pursed lips.

The feeling of those hands on him, Dani’s slightly rough palm high on his back between his shoulder blades, the faint chill lower down where his shirt has been rucked up by the angle, it feels to Jamie like he’s been given the ability to understand the shape of his own body. It’s like he’s fully present in it and in the moment around him, not half-detached or floating or trying to get away or that weird thing where sometimes it feels like he doesn’t fit in it right and the edges don’t quite line up. None of that is happening now. Jamie knows where he is and what’s happening to him. He’s fully present in it and he knows, as sure as he knows anything else, that he’s safe, and that’s… that’s nice.

OUAT 2x22: Rewatch Blog

Hey everybody! Here I am with another rewatch liveblog! This time, I'm rewatching the second half of the S2 finale: "And Straight On 'Til Morning" :)

By the way, the titles of this episode and the one before it are awesome. WAY better than "part 1" and "part 2" or whatever.

Anyway! Let's get on with the show!!!

Aww... Sad Milah portrait time.

Now that we know Killian has art talent, it makes more sense that he drew that portrait of Milah, rather than that she drew it herself.

Aww, Smee. Such a good pal. So supportive.

Oh, Colin. He's doing his best, but you can tell he's still injured when he walks down those stairs. Poor bunny.

Hahaha, you snarky bastard. He’s such a troll.

OMG THIS KID’S NAME IS BAELFIRE EVERYBODY

Oh, look at this peaceful, idyllic scene. Young lad, playing on a playground, an older lady watching him fondly... ARMED WITH A CROSSBOW.

Wow, Gold. Wow. That's cold, man. Stone cold.

Hahahaha, he's spending some time with his grandson, alright. Creepily. From the bushes. And... kinda murderishly, too. You do you, Rumple. Nobody else ever could.

"He wasn't supposed to die." Yeah, about that... Eh, whatever. You'll figure it out later XD

Awww. Now I feel bad for the guy who was gonna murder an 11-year-old in cold blood literally only a minute ago. Dammit, show.

Awww... Poor Colin, still limping. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like how they worked it into the show as remnants from getting hit by a car, but... I feel bad for my cookie T_T

"Who is telling you what to do?" "You know what, that's not your concern." OH MAN, YOU HAVE NO IDEA GREG

"It's not ours, either." Wait. Wat. That's just plain dumb, Greg. You're DUMB, Greg. Duuuuuuumb.

"We have faith in the sacredness of our cause." Thanks, Tamara. You get to be dumb, too.

"Absolutely." Not. Hahaha, I love his face after that. It's so very 'Ohhhh, this is awkward. How do I politely leave this party without offending the host?'

Flash. Bang. 'Nevermind, lads, I'm out of here.' That was the dumbest party ever.

Aww... Regina. Poor bean. Last episode was really hard on her.

A Regal Believer hug <3

Aww... There goes breakfast.

Or what's left of it. Seriously, do you people not clean up after yourselves?

"So we're all gonna die."

Henry “Random Outbursts” Mills strikes again.

HAHAHAHA I love the way Hook saunters in like he fucking just belongs there.

HAHAHAHA I love how David just fucking suckerpunches him right in the fucking face.

HAHAHAHA I love how Dave pulls out his gun and cocks it, like 'you have 5 seconds and I used 4 of them punching your stupid face.'

Oh, Captain Charming. How I love your sordid beginnings :D

"Quite hostile, aren't we?" Gods, you fucking snarky bastard. Why are you so perfect?!

Heeey, Felix.

The Lost Ones. I mean, they're all boys. Nobody's fooling anybody here. You can just go ahead and call them the Lost Boys XD

Mmm. I kinda like Felix threatening him...

Oh, great. The Pawn Shop is infested with dwarves now.

I must say, Josh Dallas looks good with a gun.

YEAH, HIT HIM, BABY. MAKE HIM SORRY FOR HITTING YOU WITH HIS CAR, THAT FUCKING IDIOT.

Guys, I just really hate Greg, okay? T_T

YEAH, GET ON TOP OF HIM, DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY, SHOW THAT PIRATE WHO'S ON TOP.

Guys, I just really love whump, okay? T_T

It's complicated and I’m emotional right now. Just let it go.

Tamara, you dummy. Who just trips and loses their gun? I mean, come on. Seriously.

"I'm not your mate." Ohhhh, Dave. Have I got some exciting news for YOU...

AHHHHHHHHHH T_T

This sceeeeeeeeene T_T

My baby Regina, doing the right thing and being a hero once and for all, for the son she loves so much... T_T

And she's smiling... T_T

"Let me die as Regina."

NOBODY TOUCH MEEEEEE T_T

Awwww... A touching Rumbelle scene... T_T

I’m just... I’m feeling a lot of things here, guys.

That dwarf infestation problem seems to have moved over to Granny's now.

She also seems to have a skulking pirate problem. Just look at it over there, skulking... watching... plotting...

JFC WHAT EVEN IS HIS FACE

How did they even air this face on television during prime time without warnings and disclaimers?! I had three heart attacks and five children whilst making this screencap alone.

"I didn't kill your mother." Ahhh, the pain in his voice T_T This whole speech here T_T

"As sure as if you ripped her heart out yourself." Ouch, Baelfire. I see you got your mother's cutting tongue there.

Awww... My poor pirate baby T_T

THAT FUCKING PIRATE ASSHOLE D:

Awww... He wants him to stay so badly T_T

But he won't stay T_T

AHHHHH the pain on Colin's face for that moment there T_T

Aaaaaaaand it's time to be an asshole again T_T

Aww, the sad version of Hook's theme T_T

Hahaha, they're all gonna die and Snow's like, 'YOU CALLED ME MOM, I'M GONNA CRY'

Meanwhile, everyone else in the audience has been calling Josh Dallas "dad" since sometime last season.

"You may not be strong enough, but maybe WE are." I LOVE THAT LIIIIINE <3

Imagine the director during this scene, though. 'That's great guys! Could we get more vibration? Just... vibrate the shit out of this scene. We need, just, ALL the vibrating you can possibly put into this right now. Like you're riding a jackhammer in an earthquake. That's great! Wonderful!'

Oh, that packed quite a wallop.

Hey, they saved the day!

And it's a Floor orgy. Everybody get down toni- Oh, you're all already down. That's the idea, isn't it. No, no, I get it. I just... nevermind.

HOW DID YOU GUYS LOSE AN 11-YEAR-OLD?

Ugh. These two. Can we kill them yet? Is it time for them to die? No? Not yet? Soon, though... right? Please?

I mean, the dialogue in this scene is literally painful. It’s just so bad. They don’t know what they’re doing or why they’re doing it, they don’t know who they’re working for or what the main point of anything is, they don’t make any sense when they open their mouths... I just really hate these two.

I love Dave’s face when he says they already did that. ‘Yeah, we did that... while you were fucking around on your boat, asshole.’

Awww, Rumple doing the right thing.

I gotta say, I love this energy here - heroes and former maybe still who knows villains working together T_T

I also love the angst on Hook's face when he says "Neverland."

Oh, the things I imagine happened there... :D

GAH, AND THE CLIFFHANGER...

Guys, this is how you DO a season finale. I mean, this is the BEST one in the entire series, in my opinion. It just ties everything up, and makes you EXCITED for the next season! Great episode :D

...and that’s a wrap! PEW PEW PEW PEW <3
