#and then he dies

[braimin]

When do you think Zoro says Sanji’s name the first time ? For me it is the moment he thinks he won’t have the chance to say it again.

He makes a point not to say it cause he’s gotten this far without having to say it, and now it feels too imitate to call him Sanji. He knows when he finally does, it’ll change their relationship; he’s not sure either of them are ready for it just yet.

It happens during a fight with the marines, a lot of marines. But that’s routine at this point. They’ve fought plenty and this is no different. They keep coming in waves and Sanji and Zoro fight back to back as usual. It’s starting to tire them out though, there’s no room to take a breath before another group is coming full force.

After a long while of the repeat of forces Zoro hears the sound of a bullet hitting flesh. His heart lurches but he doesn’t look away from his enemies. But then there’s a thump, and when he turns the cook is on the ground.

It’s okay, he tells himself. Sanji will get up after a moment. And in the meantime Zoro will focus his efforts on protecting the both of them so he can take a second. That second turns to ten, then thirty, then a minute. Sanji’s breathing is different, wet and inconsistent. He takes a step closer and he can see the body below him twitch.

“Come on cook, you gonna leave me to do all the work ?” There’s no response, Zoro tries to still his mind. He can’t let himself lose focus when there’s so much he needs to protect.

“Nap time’s over Dartboard.” The droves of marines are beginning to slow, thankfully, but there’s still no real movement from Sanji. It’s just those harsh breathes. Fear is starting to rush him.

“Get up Curls.” Still no answer. For the first time since Whiskey Peak, Zoro stops caring about how deadly the hits will be as he swings his swords. He needs this to over fast. He can’t see or feel Chopper anywhere close by.

“Baby,” it’s a word he only uses between the two of them. Only in the heat of the moment, and Sanji has always said he hates hearing it. But it still garners no response. With the next slash of his sword he cuts the remaining ten men in front of him clean in half. As soon as he’s certain there’s no threat he’s on the ground next to his cook.

“Hey, are you with me ? Sanji open your eyes.” He tries not to jostle the man too much while he looks for where the bleeding starts. After a second of Zoro’s hand on him Sanji opens his eyes.

“Sanji, shit. Don’t fucking scare me like that.” He’s still searching the battle field hoping Chopper will fall into his view at some point. Luck is kind as always, their doctor comes into line of sight while Zoro presses his sash into the wound. He puts his whole lungs into screaming for him and tries to staunch the bleeding.

Chopper hears and starts running towards them. Zoro is filled with relief and turns his full attention back to the blonde bellow him. “Chopper’s coming okay, Sanji ? Just stay awake for me until he gets here.”

Sanji hums, “You’re saying my name. Sounds pretty when you say it.” His eyes aren’t focused when he looks up at the swordsman, but he’s awake and right now that’s really all Zoro can care about.

“Stay awake and I’ll say it as much as you want.” He gets a barely audible laugh, then Sanji closes his eyes and Zoro’s heart stops.

“I’m awake, keep saying it.”

#and then he dies #jk chopper saves the day cause he’s the worlds best doctor #just thinking about the fact that Zoro has yet to say sanjis name in the manga #I think at some point Zoro is just too embarrassed to start saying it #he does say it after this #but not often #zosan #one piece #I love making these boys suffer

I know ive talked about this trope a few times already but I just can't get enough of it so...

Ghost who got poisoned while on a mission or something, he finds out that there is no antidote, he's going to die.

Instead of telling soap he yells at him, and tells him he hates him, and says he never loved him. He tells soap that he was an annoying mutt that he foolishly took pity on

And he goes on and on until there is absolutely no chance at recovery, even if he did survive the poison (which he won't), all so that whenever soap thinks of him, all that comes to mind is hate. He'd rather have soap hate him, than mourn him

#and then he dies #and soap finds out and weeps for him #then soap also dies... from heartbreak #simon ghost riley #john soap mactavish #soapghost #ghostsoap #call of duty #cod #cod mw2 #el rambles

JOSH PLAYING LIKE THE COMICALLY SENSITIVE DEEP POETIC CLICHE GUY IS SO FUNNY TO ME

THE FACT THAT HE REFERS TO HIMSELF IN THE THIRD PERSON TOO “toby doesnt do shoutouts” FUCKING HILARIOUS

#i love him hes so silly #toby mitchell #tragedy girls #josh hutcherson #and then he dies #from his ex #Everyone always talks abt the stabbing scene but like what about the fact that his leg was so terribly dislocated because of the accident #mind you i havent watched the movie #(it looks horrible)

[mikakuna]

thinking about an old soul robin!jason is so funny to me because imagine being a gotham citizen and seeing this wacky child dressed up in bright af colours in a city like gotham talking like "oh golly! that must've hurt!" or "gee whiz!" (everyone thinks he's the cutest thing ever)

#and then he dies #and nobody knows how #the streets are just a lot less bright #i'm pretty sure it's canon that a lot of people especially women found jason extremely cute and charming #like he was just this little yellow child blob adorably asking for milk in a bar full of drinking adults #jason todd #jason peter todd #red hood #dc

scar's red life shawl is his last life robes after one (1) mental breakdown and a pair of shears. to me.

#look man the two seasons just seem really closely linked and im a sucker for a wardrobe change caused by a shift in mindset #tell me that him ripping up his old robes and fundamentally changing them in a time of emotional distraught isn't tempting #tell me that him deciding to repair it later #turn it back into something usable #turning the shredded ends into the flairs of a shawl #tying on poppies to try and bring some color back to it #maybe he was thinking of grian. so what. #and then one day hes alone. hes tired. hes so alone it hurts. #and then he dies #and he decides that now. now is the time to wear the shawl. #a reminder of people who cared about him #grians poppies and his robes to match joel and the button up underneath to feel his family again #tell me that isnt tantalizing. #idk maybe thats just me #secret life #secret life smp #slsmp #goodtimeswithscar #daisy.txt

Imagine: you’re Dick Grayson, you’ve been a superhero since you were nine, and you just moved into your first apartment and started protecting your own city. You don’t talk to your dad much, anymore, because you can’t talk without fighting. Then, suddenly, your dad has a kid who looks a lot like you did at that age, but unlike you he’s happy and smiling and so, so excited to meet you. But you leave, and you only see the kid on the rare weekend you’re in town, and suddenly he’s a teenager and then he’s dead. And you grieve, because you never wanted a little brother, but you got one anyways, and then you lost him. And your dad is cracking apart, and you can barely look at him, because he didn’t even tell you when the funeral was. And then it’s five years later, and you have a dozen younger siblings that you train and love and protect with your entire being. And it’s five years later and your little brother is back, and he’s all grown up, but he doesn’t smile anymore. He’s angry, like you were, and hurt, like you were, and you fight with him like you fought with your dad, and you just want your miracle to turn out right.

#I’m having feelings about Dick missing Jason grow up because of his spat with Bruce #and then he dies #and when he comes back he’s tall and broad and all grown up #and Dick missed it again #through no fault of his own #but the guilt still eats him alive #wit rambles #dick grayson #Jason Todd #bruce wayne #Batman

Oh.

"Please, Reg, tell me what I did, what's wrong with me, please-" James was nearly hysterical as he tried to figure out what the hell was wrong with him because Regulus could not have said those words.

We have to stop this.

Regulus' dark, sad eyes made him pause, mouth open with more pleads on the tip of his tongue.

Finally, Regulus spoke, and even though his voice was a mere whisper, his words punched the air out of James' lungs. "Why is it that you can see the beauty in everyone else, but you're blind to your own?"

Crouching down next to the distraught boy, he cupped his face in his hands, drawing in a shaky breath as James unconsciously leaned into his touch. "James," He breathed, the single syllable spilling almost reverently from his lips.

James had no reply, other than to close his eyes against the mournful, almost pitying gaze he was faced with.

"Please." His broken whisper seemed to break Regulus' resolve.

He sighed, shifting into a sitting position to pull him into his arms. "Oh, James."

His hand began running through the other boy's hair, gently untangling the curls and scratching his scalp with his blunt nails, and slowly, James began to relax, his sobs abating, his eyelids dragging shut, no matter how valiantly he tried to keep them open.

Regulus noticed, because of course he did. He always noticed things, his eyes sharp to everyone but James.

Only when he would look at James, would they soften to something other than the stone they seemed to be carved out of, grey and impenetrable.

"Get some sleep, James," Regulus said softly, rubbing his shoulder as he hummed under his breath.

"Don't leave-"

"I'll be here," Regulus promised.

James wakes up.

#starchaser #jegulus #i'm sorry #no i'm not #what is this #sunseeker #james x regulus #regulus x james #regulus black #james potter #marauders era #sad thoughts #idk how to tag this #daily dose of regulus pushing everyone away because he feels like they deserve better and he doesn't want to damage them #and then he dies #whoops

Charles/Lando/Max where Lando retires suddenly and disappears from the paddock?

Oooo I love this idea

Lando leaving F1 would literally shock all of them, but especially Max and Charles who had been flirting with him. Maybe they were gently trying to date him, inviting him on dates, into their bed, and they thought everything was going great. They had planned to make everything clear with Lando and tell him that they had feelings for him, and then suddenly he isn't in the paddock come the next race day.

At first the rumors going around are just that Lando is sick. It's only media, that's not unusual, until McLaren hold a surprise media announcement saying that Lando won't be driving that weekend, or for McLaren again and that he has decided to step away from Formula 1. Everyone is in shock. Max and Charles try to talk to Oscar but he doesn't know what happened, he only found out that morning. Carlos hasn't heard from him, and neither has Daniel. George and Alex won't say anything. No one knows where Lando is or why he did this. He was doing well that season. Projected to possibly come second or third in the championship and is now just gone.

Charles and Max try to go by his home in Monaco only to find it's up for sale and Lando is long gone. It's then that they realize that Lando had planned this for a while. It wasn't a sudden thing. He just disappeared and no one will tell them where he is because they either don't know or claim not to know. Max F full on just tells them to stop asking, and that if Lando wanted them to know anything, then they would know.

Still, Charles and Max are devastated and just ask Max F to give Lando a message for them, that they are here for Lando no matter what and will respect his privacy but just want to know that he is okay.

For a while they don't hear anything, and they just continue life missing Lando. They ignore questions about him, just saying that they hope Lando is doing well and that the choice to retire was one Lando couldn't have made lightly, and that they know at the end of the day, Lando made the choice that was best for him and wish him the best. They don't comment on rumors.

And then one day, they get a number from Max F, and he tells them that Lando wants to speak to them. They are a bit skeptical at first, but when they call, it's Lando's voice on the other end. He sounds tired and little off, but they don't ask. They don't ask why he left, they just ask if he's okay and they go from there. Lando won't facetime them or visit or tell them where he is, but he calls and messages them most days. They know he's talking to George and Alex again too, and they live with this new found connection after months of worrying.....until they get a call from Max F

Max F is upset and rambling, and just gives them an address that they need to get to asap because "I know he'd want you here", and they have no idea what to expect but it certainly isn't a very skinny and pale Lando in a home hidden away in Switzerland, connected to a bunch of wires and an oxygen mask because he's so sick and has been for over a year but didn't want his illness to become a media circus like every other part of his life was, especially because he knew chances of recovery were small and he didn't want to spend his last possible months with cameras shoved in his face or his every movement analysed

#and then he dies #joking #kinda #maybe #charles/max/lando #other option was mpreg or abo pregnancy but thats a little too like my little bean au #or blackmail #another possibility for this was escaping abuse from Zak by agreeing to leave the team and not talk about it

why do Ian and Erin (and Ian’s big, old ass van) from Final Destination 3 scream Eddie x Reader vibes??? he’s this intimidating looking punk but he’s so cute with her, the little “righty-o, baby” he tells her when she’s talking to him over the walkie talkies about leaving work (love that they work together and have the same shifts) together as soon as she’s done restocking gets me every time, and he’s so devastated when she dies 🥺

#imma just rewrite this movies as a stranger things fic for Halloween #sorry reader I think you know which death would be yours lmao #they weren’t even the main couple of the movie #BUT THEY WERE THE MAIN COUPLE #and then he becomes brooding villain when he loses her ugh I love them so much #and then he dies #eddie Munson x reader #vivi rambles #que que

the way that Nari (the young jedi on tatooine) meets Obi-Wan and calls him ‘Master’ unthinkingly, full of hope and relief that there is another jedi and hes not alone and its Master Obi-Wan, of course i can trust master obi-wan just makes me ache inside.

he’s so young still - in his early to mid twenties, at a guess - and he would have been a padawan when order 66 happened and that means he probably saw Obi-Wan’s warning from the temple beacon - the message of hope from the Guiding Light which could very well have been the last time Nari had contact with a jedi.

and then years later, he finds obi-wan - finds one of the few jedi left in the galaxy - and its so painfully clear that Nari is looking to him for guidance as a former leader of their people, but the guiding light is gone. master obi-wan - someone for whom being a jedi is the core of who he is - is gone and the best Ben can do is plead for Nari to hide - to run and bury his jedi identity.

#kenobi series #im not over it #yes i am very emotionally attached to this plucky young jedi #who looks to someone he knew as a pillar of his community #hoping for wisdom and safety but finding none #and then he DIES #nari you deserved better #even if your story works well with the plot
