Music - Casey's Updates [The Final(?) Version]

Casey's instagram stories recently contained some music they would have added to their playlists for the RWRB characters. This is the final version of all the ones they shared, with a playlist containing all of the songs and playlists for Henry & Alex.

-----

Here is the full playlist of all mentioned songs. In sharing the songs, Casey also shared snippets of the lyrics, these - & the full list of shared music - are below the cut.

I also created individual playlists from Casey's lists - all the songs mentioned for Henry:

and for Alex:

Below are text versions of Casey's instagram stories.

-----

some songs i would put on my AGCD playlist if i made it today

-Too Much, Carly Rae Jepson When I party, then I party too much When I feel it, then I feel it too much When I'm thinking, then I'm thinking too much When I'm drinking, then I'm drinking too much I'll do anything to get to the rush Now I'm dancing, and I'm dancing too much So be careful if you're wanting this touch 'Cause if I love you, then I love you too much

-Bronco, Orville Peck Come on in hot, babe Hurry up, babe Can't you see the gate from here? And nothing holds me back at all Nothing left to fear Best of luck, my dear Bucking side to side Bronco running wild

-Love Me More, Mitski Here's my hand There's the itch But I'm not supposed to scratch

-Big Time, Angel Olsen And I'm losing, I'm losing, I've left it behind Guess I had to be losing to get here on time And I'm living, I'm loving, I've loved long before And I'm loving you big time, I'm loving you more

and HGEJFMW (Henry's)

-Not Strong Enough, boygenius The way I am Not strong enough to be your man I lied, I am Just lowering your expectations Half a mind that keeps the other second-guessing Close my eyеs and count

-The Archer, Taylor Swift I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost The room is on fire, invisible smoke And all of my heroes die all alone Help me hold on to you

-Magic, Julia Jacklin I won't feel ashamed tonight Treat it like a stage tonight Turn over a new page and write Forget all that I learnt tonight All the times that I've been hurt tonight Remember what I'm worth and fight for it

-Reach Out, Sufjan Stevens & Angelo De Augustine Reach out, reach out To all the ones who came before you Ponder what is right You and I, in defiance

-----

They also shared their "firstprince x [artist]" playlist choices.

Carly Rae Jepson Henry: all that, surrender my heart, want you in my room, everything he needs, feels right Alex: too much, run away with me, real love, shy boy, i didn't just come here to dance

Mitski Henry: first love / late spring, heat lightning, pink in the night, i don't smoke, i want you, happy, bug like an angel, a pearl Alex: texas reznikoff, love me more, geyser, i bet on losing dogs, goodbye my danish sweetheart, my body's make of crushed little stars, burning hill, remember my name

Taylor Swift Henry: the lucky one, this is me trying, wildest dreams, dancing with our hands tied, castles crumbling, out of the woods, the archer, daylight Alex: gorgeous, treacherous, cowboy like me, i know places, cruel summer, you're on your own kid, peace, you are in love

boygenius Henry: appointments, georgia, not strong enough, bite the hand, historians, garden song, hot & heavy Alex: cool about it, savior complex, sprained ankle, body to flame, smoke signals, dancing in the dark, we're in love

Sufjan Stevens Henry: predatory wasp of the palisades, for the widows; for the fatherless, all for myself, the only thing, john my beloved, to be alone with you, tell me you love me, reach out Alex: man of metropolis steals our hearts, city of roses, with my whole heart, mystery of love, heirloom, run away with me, all delighted people, america

The National Henry: demons, humiliation, once upon a poolside, don't swallow the cap, empire line, the pull of you, bloodbuzz ohio Alex: racing like a pro, i am easy to find, this isn't helping, rylan, pink rabbits, you were a kindness, slow show

-----

top HGEJFMW lyrics on this playlist [Mitski]

-I want you I hold one card That I can't use But I want you

-I'm what's left of when we swam under the moon Now the rest of my days are just waiting for when You've calmed down and tell me, 'I was meant for you' Baby, being with you makes the flame burn good If you need to be mean, be mean to me I can take it and put it inside of me If your hands need to break more than trinkets in your room You can lean on my arm as you break my heart

-So please, hurry, leave me, I can't breathe Please don't say you love me

-I glow pink in the night in my room I've been blossoming alone over you And I hear my heart breaking tonight I hear my heart breaking tonight Ooh, do you hear it too? It's like a summer shower

a few top AGCD lyrics on this playlist [Mitski]

-And I am the fire, and I am the forest And I am a witness watching it I stand in a valley watching it And you are not there are all

-There's some kind of burning inside me It's kept me from falling apart And I'm sure that you've seen what it's done to my heart But it's kept me from falling apart Now here I lay as I wonder about you Would you just tell me what I'm meant to do? 'Cause I've waited and watered my heart 'til it grew You can see how it's blossomed for you

-I better ace that interview I better ace that interview I should tell them that I'm not afraid to die I better ace that interview

-I need something bigger than the sky Hold it in my arms and know it's mine Just how many stars will I need to hang around me To finally call it Heaven? I need somebody to remember my name After all that I can do for them is done I need someone to remember me

woe, oc asks be upon ye!

i do not know nearly enough about fae so - 13, 29, 15

iphis my beloved - 31, 47

howl whomst i also do not know nearly enough about yet - 48, 41

all my beloveds in one ask-you spoil me :p

Fae:

13: describe your character's typical wardrobe for a regular day

in two words: bubblegum pink. but seriously, Fae is a sparkly high femme who unfortunately has to keep from dying in sunlight/heat, so a big beach hat is an absolute must, light fabrics to made to catch breeze and keep them cool, and sunglasses so they can actually see (yes even in ye olde forgotten realms, drow would use the shit out of sunglasses on the surface and i'll die on this hill), and they'll swear said shades must pink and heart-shaped. it's just as important.

29: are they an organized person? or more laissez-faire?

Fae has trouble staying organized, they're forgetful, but they try because they know it saves them time they'd spend panicking because they forgot something important. they do not enjoy trying to manage a schedule and keeping a habit of writing things down, but it keeps them sane, even if it's a hastily scrawled to-do list on a scrap piece of paper. when they do have time to themself, they're in a more natural state of "let's do whatever i think of in the moment, no plan, just vibes". sometimes that's spending all day in bed, sometimes they're out all night, so really, a little bit of both, but also neither

15: what's the first thing people notice about them?

their aesthetic, it's not uncommon for a bard but it's the loudest thing about them (literally, their accessories jingle like christmas bells)

Iphis:

31: your character's been invited to a masquerade ball. what mask do they wear?

ohohoho this is the best one for Iphis. a classic eye mask shape, rather than a full-face mask. lacy, crafted to look delicate, but durable. cant have someone breaking it and revealing your identity, after all. maybe there's colored lenses over the eye slits, to obscure eye color (also just because it looks cool). base color appears to be black but in the right light is actually more midnight blue, with black flower details and little jeweled spiders among the petals, because is it really a drow masquerade without spiders?

47: what's your character's reaction when someone does something nice for them?

outwardly, to smile and thank someone, slip in a compliment if appropriate. practiced, polite, full of charm and empty of sentiment. i have to note that Iphis does not smile with his eyes.

now, internally it depends on who's doing the favor. if it's someone he trusts (ie Nydalla) he softens, and he's willing to do whatever they want. rewards are earned by being obedient, after all. however if it's not someone close to him he is combing through the interaction looking for hidden motives, keeping a tally in his head. nobles don't do things out of the kindness of their hearts, any nicety is either a diversion or exchange.

Howl:

48: is it easy to make your character cry? or angry? or annoyed?

nope! even when unlearning to suppress their emotions, Howl's naturally just not very emotional. The best way to describe the way they feel is muted, and a lot of the time they struggle with knowing what they're feeling. Their negative emotions build up slowly, and they linger. So they don't sob, they just can't stop shedding tears, and they don't have outbursts of anger, they seethe.

41: your character has been punched in the face. What's their reaction?

self-defense, and then getting the hell out of there. which either involves jamming their fingers in the person's eyes (extra not fun for them thanks to their long nails) and running, or casting a spell that knocks them back. they don't want a fight, that's their way of saying you don't want one either

oc questions are both enrichment for them and me

#in-fox #you send me the best questions ty!#c: iphis nydalla #c: howl willowstep #c: faeryl drathir'knif

post 3-5 songs that remind you of your muse. repost, don’t reblog.

Jin Edition™

1. Metallica - The Unforgiven

what i've felt, what i've known \\ never shined through in what i've shown \\ never be, never see \\ won't see what might have been \\ never free, never me \\ so i dub thee "unforgiven" \\ he tries to please them all, this bitter man he is \\ throughout his life the same, he's battled constantly \\ this fight he cannot win, a tired man they see no longer cares \\ the old man then prepares to die regretfully \\ that old man here is me, yeah

2. Brand New - 451

i'm awake, there's no part to play \\ drinking drano, smoking grass, one under the pass \\ what we saw in the woods that day, repeat 60 cycle delay \\ swallow the pitch that flows from the earth \\ soft spot, lightning rod, my paint is peeling \\ a million suns won't fill you up if you can't see the wine flowing over your cup \\ last thread, dancing dead, one more time with feeling \\ pass the plate and you sit back down \\ go back to your hole in the woods under ground

3. Foo Fighters - All My Life

all my life, i've been searchin' for somethin' \\ somethin' never comes, never leads to nothin' \\ nothin' satisfies, but i'm gettin' close \\ closer to the prize at the end of the rope \\ all night long, i dream of the day when it comes around, then it's taken away \\ leaves me with the feelin' that i feel the most \\ feel it come to life when i see your ghost \\ and if i give it a twist \\ somethin' to hold when i lose my grip \\ will i find somethin' in there? \\ to give me just what i need? \\ another reason to bleed, one by one, hidden up my sleeve

4. My Chemical Romance - Foundations of Decay

see the man who stands upon the hill, he dreams of all the battles won \\ but fate had left its scars upon his face, with all the damage they had done \\ and so time with age it turns the page \\ let the flesh submit itself to gravity \\ let our bodies lay, mark our hearts with shame \\ let our blood in vain, you find god in pain \\ now, if your convictions were a passing faith, may your ashes feed the river in the morning rays \\ and as the vermin crawls, we lay in the foundations of decay

5. Taking Back Sunday - Bullet With Butterfly Wings

the world is a vampire, sent to drain \\ secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames \\ and what do i get, for my pain? \\ betrayed desires, and a piece of the game \\ even though I know - i suppose i'll show all my cool and cold - like old job \\ despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage \\ someone will say what is lost can never be saved

*. Honorable Mention - Chevelle - The Red (i mean how couldn't i list it, its literally the song on his character page lmao)

they say 'freak', when you're singled out \\ the red, well, it filters through \\ so lay down, the threat is real \\ when his sight goes red again \\ seeing red again \\ this change he won't contain

tagged by: @inun4ki TYSM FRIEND!! GOOD SHIT tagging: @glacialsin (or do i tag @mementohub ??) and uhhh tbh whoever wants to do this and actually read this far down go right ahead SDFHJGJGHSDFJSDGHFGHJDSFSDGHJ

#headcanons: jin #jin: dash memes #//i think i did a meme like this for jin a lonnnnnggg time ago but its okay its been a while and i like music memes #//i live for music and how it connects to shit #//SFJHSGDGDSHSGHJ #//but okay off to bed with me i spent way too much time on this tonight fSDFDSGH

So maybe the most important thing you need to know about this mix is that we've been adding to it since 2002.

The original, CD-length version of it (in 2005!) was a mix based on the beats of the anime, which then got separated into Vash and Wolfwood mixes. Then those got rejoined into a single mix and reshuffled to fit the beats of the manga, and then got expanded upon. I think its last major revision was ... 2011? Sure, that sounds about right. The biggest change in recent memory was when we moved it over to Spotify and lost all the songs that aren't on Spotify (including the song the title comes from, though the title remains).

Which means the second most important thing you need to know about this mix is that it's a collaboration, put together by two queer people who were best friends when its creation started, and now have been married for fourteen years.

Tracklist beneath the cut, but you can draw your own conclusions.

Eric Weissberg & Steve Mandell - Dueling Banjos

Los Fabulosos Cadillacs - El Matador Matador, te están buscando / Matador te están matando

Tom Waits - Way Down In The Hole When you walk through the garden / You gotta watch your back

The Wallflowers - Bleeders Gotta keep this together / Maybe next time is never

Greg Brown - Lord I Have Made You A Place In My Heart And I hope that you leave it alone

Ha Ha Tonka - What Shepherds Of These Hills!? We know that history will be the harshest judge

Our Lady Peace - Supersatellite And nothing dazzles me, I am in his dreams / And nothing is shocking, transparent human being

Electric President - Elegant Disasters Now we know what you look like / We know your facade is cracking

Bush - Little Things I'd die in your arms, if you were dead too

Cloud Cult - The Tornado Lessons You got your finger on the trigger / Though you never wanna fight / Put your belly up and aim / For the sky, sky, sky, sky

Cowboy Junkies - Highway Kind Then I'll meet the ones between us, be thinkin' 'bout you / And all the places I have seen and why you were not there

Bruce Cockburn - Use Me While You Can Bullet in a sandstorm / Looking for a place to land

Sting - It's Probably Me You search the city / For your only friend / No-one would you see

Paul Simon - Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona

Stealers Wheel - Stuck In The Middle With You Well I don't know why I came here tonight / I've got the feeling that something ain't right

Ha Ha Tonka - Giant Strides Chomping at a bit I can't spit out / Some people just need to let it go

Lyle Lovett - Promises If God is my witness / Then God is my savior / But if you are my judge / Then I'm already damned

Bush - 40 Miles from the Sun I need to lose to make it right / I'll confront the stars tonight / I will babble, I will bite

Okkervil River - For the Enemy They'll tie us down / With those fine thin threads / And run their knives / Up and down our skin

Toad The Wet Sprocket - Whatever I Fear Did we expect these things to change / By waking up and suddenly there they are

Radiohead - Sit Down. Stand Up. Walk into the jaws of Hell

Matchbox Twenty - Bed of Lies I know that it's weak, but God help me, I need this

Indigo Girls - Starkville If you were here in Starkville / Well the local girls they wouldn't have a prayer

Emmylou Harris - I Don't Wanna Talk About It Now I wanna go down

The Mountain Goats - Have To Explode You name one thing about us two, anyone could love

Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down But as sure as God made black and white / What's down in the dark will be brought to the light

Bush - Machinehead If I had it all again I'd change it all

Counting Crows - Cowboys Oh, I, I will make you look at me / Or I am not anything

Ha Ha Tonka - Dead Man's Hand All around me are wasted plans / Everywhere you look no matter where you stand

Bob Dylan - Not Dark Yet But it's getting there

Wilco - Via Chicago I dreamed about killing you again last night / And it felt all right to me

Matthew Good - Non Populus You know we could have stayed / Instead of crawling off into the wilderness

Psalmships - Heart Carries Blame I'm full of shit but I mean it

W.G. Snuffy Walden - Project Blue

O'Death - Ourselves Alone dear, I know where I'm leaving / Dried up, into the storm

Radiohead - Idioteque We're not scaremongering / This is really happening

Soul Coughing - $300 I need to feel it when the drug starts coming on / I know you lord are a jealous lord

The National - You Were a Kindness There wasn't any way for anyone to settle in / You made a slow disaster out of me

O'Death - Don't Come Back

Radical Face - Ghost Towns But all this time, I been chasin' down a lie / And I know it for what it is / But it beats the alternatives / So I'll take the lie

Joe Pug - I Do My Father's Drugs If you see me with a rifle / Don't ask me what it's for / I fight my father's war

Drew Bunting - Gin I meet him / Half-delivered / But he calls me brother, joy and lover

Dave Matthews Band - Bartender If I go, before I'm old / Oh brother of mine, please don't forget me if I go

Nina Simone - I Think It's Going to Rain Today Broken windows and empty hallways / A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray

Okkervil River - The Velocity of Saul at the Time of his Conversion But enough of “the fight,” enough “you and I” / Enough of “prevail” or “walk in the light”

The Flaming Lips - The Ego's Last Stand A man holds a gun / There's no explanation / Oh, he shoots at the sun

The Mountain Goats - High Hawk Season I saw the streets fill up with people that I knew / People who looked like you

Explosions In The Sky - Catastrophe and the Cure (Four Tet Mix)

Jonathan Coulton & Suzanne Vega - Now I Am an Arsonist Touch the sun, my eyes wide open unbelieving / Catch a breath, the only one who's left is leaving

William Elliott Whitmore - Rest His Soul We were living proof of a dying dream / The truth is no one saw us coming / There's always one more song left to sing

3rd Day "long day, long night" (Scene 3)

"――――――――" I know I won't be able to do anything even if I do go. But still――――I still feel her hand in mine. I told her we'll try our best. She shook the hand I held out. So――――

"Man, there's nothing else I can do…!!" I'll be killed if I go up the hill after that giant. My body is trembling from that fact, but I suppress it and run up the slope.

"Saber――――!" I run into the open land. …And then. The scenery that awaits me there is totally unexpected.

Gravestones are flying around. Every time the giant swings his sword, the heavy gravestones are split in two. ―――In the midst of it… A knight bravely runs through the storm of gravestones.

The axe-sword rages around. Gravestones are flung aside. In the chaos, Saber is fighting Berserker with the same―――no, with more power than before.

"――――――――" "" Their positions are reversed here. The advantage belongs to someone with a small body like Saber. Berserker is hindered by obstacles, and Saber acts as if there's nothing in her way.

I'm sure that a hindrance of this degree is only trivial for Berserker. But it's more than nothing. It's only a slight difference, but that slight difference is tipping the scale the other way now―――

"This way…! You'll get hit if you're there!" "Huh!? Whoa…!?" "What are you thinking!? I told you to run away, right!? Or did you not hear me!?" She's really angry.

"Um―――I heard you. But I can't just run away, right?"

"What!? How could you reach that conclusion!? Can't you tell that you'll only be a bother to us since you can't fight!? It can't be helped if you die trying to make a difference, but it'd be meaningless if you die doing nothing!"

"――――?" …I don't know why, but Tohsaka is seriously angry. Even though I'm getting yelled at, I don't feel bad for some reason.

"―――Hey, is that something you should get mad about? It shouldn't matter to you if I die meaninglessly or not." "It does matter! I told you I'd let you go for all of today, so it'll trouble me if you don't get home safely!"

"……" …I'm confused even more now. Tohsaka sure had a different face on at school.

"―――Geez. Anyway, you're not hurt, so run away right now. That Ilyasviel girl intends to kill us all."

"I know that. But I can't run away. Saber's fighting, so I can't run away by myself."

"…That's a line for someone who can make a difference. You'll just die a meaningless death, as you can't do anything to support her. This is your last warning. Just run away." "That can't be true. There should be something I can do as long as I'm alive. And besides, are you going to ask someone to do something that you can't do?"

"――――――――" Tohsaka looks at me with a serious expression. "…You're right. I'm the shameless one for asking you to do something I can't do."

She looks away. "―――Well, I don't think there's a need to run away. I don't think Saber will lose now." Tohsaka takes a peek from behind the tree.

Their battle is continuing without change. Berserker's attacks smash through empty space and only destroy his surroundings.

Between the attacks… Within the swirling whirlwind and flying clods… Within the rain of broken gravestones… Saber rushes in without even dirtying her armor and attacks Berserker.

"……" It is a divine work of utmost excellence. My fear has disappeared, seeing this battle that is totally impossible for mere humans. Instead, I am fascinated.

I could not believe I was in this Holy Grail War thing, and I also had some uneasiness. But all of it is blown away when I see her.

Dancing swords. Within the whirlwind of fatal destruction, the knight challenges the enemy without hesitation.

…Maybe this scene made me accept everything. No matter what may fall upon us in the future… I'm convinced that I will be able to match even a fierce god if I have Saber with me.

"…I thought so. It was strange, but she blocked Berserker's sword on purpose." Tohsaka murmurs without emotion.

"…Was that to lure Berserker here?" "Yup. It's suicidal to fight Berserker in a place without cover. That's why Saber chose this place as the battleground. She did it naturally, too. She got Berserker away from you, all the while she pretended to be cornered."

"――――――――" …Then… Saber must have determined that this place was a suitable battlefield when we were walking down the hill.

"But you can't expect backup in a battle like this. Our enemy is a monster that even nullifies Archer's arrows. Backup was meaningless from the start." Tohsaka murmurs as she watches the battle between Saber and Berserker.

"…Archer's arrows…" But those words catch my attention. Archer isn't here. If he really is an archer, he should not fight hand-to-hand, but――――

"She got him――――!" Tohsaka snaps her fingers. Just as she said… Saber's sword must have hit Berserker, or he must have lost his footing. Berserker's body, holding firm until now, loses its balance.

"―――――――" The beast lashes out desperately. Saber dodges it by jumping back, and holds her sword with both hands.

――――This is it. As his desperate attack is dodged, Berserker loses his balance even more, and Saber bends her knees to charge in with all her power.

Right then… "――――Archer…? What do you mean, get away…?" I notice Tohsaka's confused voice, and sense an intent to kill aimed from a faraway place.

"――――――――" Behind me. I see the knight in red standing on a rooftop hundreds of meters away, readying his bow.

"――――――――" It's either nausea or a chill. He's readying a bow. A bow that's no different from before. It cannot even scratch Berserker, even with a direct hit. So there is no need to feel any threat from it――――

"――――――――" ―――I feel a chill. What he is readying in his bow is not an "arrow", but something completely different. And his intent to kill isn't just directed at Berserker.

"Sab――――" I act instantly. I―――

What if it was Tobias from the beginning? How different things would have been if Tobias met Casey on her first day, and he's the one working on the DT, in charge of interns and the competition, working with her on Naveen's case and everything else that happened in OH1 ? Do you think he would also be worried about her career, or he'd give in from the start (imaging they have the same attraction/feelings as when they met in T/C land).

Ooooooohhhhhhhh..... GOD, I wish I knew who you were because I love you for this question! lol This is so delicious to wrap my head around, I almost want to write this in the future.

It would have been messier.

First, I never bought that it was all about MC's career with Ethan, and I'll die on that hill. He wasn't getting close because of his own damage. He felt the fire and knew that he could get too close and would be burned, and he wasn't willing to take that risk yet. But, Tobias doesn't have that problem, and Tobias is more morally ambiguous. So...

I do think he'd care about her career, as well as his own, and he wouldn't want them tarnished; but I don't think that would be enough to stop him from giving in, especially if the attraction was as strong as it was when the met in T/C-land.

The flirtation would have been hot and heavy, but neither quite sure if it was just play or if the other really wanted them. That mystery would be solved in Miami, where they would have totally slept together... several times.

Upon their return, they'd both realize the dangers at play. He'd approach her to say that she'd have to be transferred to another attending, or they have to end things. Casey would be furious because she doesn't want to learn under another attending; she came there to learn under him. She accuses him of not caring about her career. He tells her it's because he cares about both of their careers that he's giving her this ultimatum. She is furious and does not see the logic, so she tells him fine, then they're done.

It's impulsive; she regrets it. They do their best to work together, and they do, but the tension is palpable. Both of them fly into fits of jealousy if they know the other is going on a date. The bond is there; they care about each other, they want each other, they've tasted the forbidden fruit, and they want more.

Tobias quits when Naveen is discovered, but his reasoning is a little different. Part of it is he just wants to be away from Casey. Unlike Ethan, he realizes that from the moment he quits. She goes to his place that night to check on him, and she is furious at him for quitting like that. They get into a huge argument that ends up with them naked on the floor, having the best sex of their lives. After, they talk and decide they have to work something out.

He doesn't go to The Amazon because he's not running away. I think they'd have a secret relationship at this point, and it would stay secret until the chemical attack. After coming so close to losing each other, they'd throw caution to the wind and go public, letting the pieces fall where they may.

God, I LOVED this. Thank you! :)

WAIT... adding this. If I were writing this scenario for them, I may take a page from Grey's. Maybe they'd meet at a bar the night before, sparks fly, they end up back in his bed after making love all night long. She shows up for her first day, and they're both like, "OH FUCK." They try the "We never met, it never happened." Approach, but like they could forget. They grow closer, but fight the urge, until Miami, then it's all bets off.

From various portals, Wario, Waluigi, Cable, Wolverine, Bridget, and Shadow emerged. The Wario Bros. and Shadow used their natural fighting abilities to deal with the onslaught of goons while Cable, Wolverine, and Bridget used their weapons and powers, aided by people like Team RWBY and the Investigation Team.

A bunch of the soldiers found themselves being suddenly lifted in the air. As they did, Tatsumaki floated out of a portal and sneered, slamming them all into the wall. Saitama then casually walked through the portal, with an expression that looked to be a mix of unimpressed and annoyed.

"Oh, no... don't you start the party without us!" Luffy, Brook, and Zoro emerged with Luffy stretching his arms out and taking out multiple soldiers and assassins with punches. Brook and Zoro drew their swords and charged in.

"Oh, no, you are not upstaging us!" Nearby, however, Naruto, along with Gaara, Hinata, Inojin and Iwabee, burst out of a portal. Hinata scanned the field using her Byakugan, while Naruto used his Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu. Gaara sent out his living sand which messed with Goh and his army in various ways... together with the Pokemon, Stands, and assortments of other powers, there were numerous upon numerous ways a person working under Goh could die on the battlefield today.

"Pah, you're really gonna send an old ape like me out here to do this? You youngsters really are something else, you know that?" Cranky Kong, with Funky Kong following, slowly walked out of a portal and observed the field, not liking what he was seeing. "Look at this! It's a mess! How is anyone supposed to follow a disorganized pile of characters like this? This nonsense makes the Avengers look organized! Boy, I remember the simpler times when it was just one main muse and maybe some NPCs to fill out the story..." But as he was ranting, a massive flame burst erupted from the portal where Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi emerged from as some soldiers approached it. From that portal then emerged none other than Bowser, who roared and made a beeline for any of Goh's men he could find. Eggman then emerged from Sonic's portal, and King K. Rool emerged from Cranky Kong's portal, both with weapons drawn and ready to fight. They joined the others like Heavy, who were also using guns to mow down enemies.

Cranky Kong wasn't the only old character to appear, though. Yoda emerged from a portal elsewhere and used his lightsaber and Force abilities to cut down the enemy forces. After he entered the fray, soldiers near that portal got a sudden, sharp sense of fear and dread... and soon, a red lightsaber ignited, and Darth Vader emerged, cutting down everyone near the portal and everyone who got within range of him without mercy! Some soldiers began to ask "There's too many of them? What do we do, Boss?"

"I'll tell you hwhat you do, son: stand there patiently while I kick your ass!" Suddenly, before Goh could answer, Hank Hill had appeared and was, quite literally, kicking that soldier's ass, as he fled in a comedic manner.

"He is right, though... this is getting a little ridiculous-D'OIII!" Suddenly, some bricks dropped on Goh's head, stunning him briefly.

*Honk* How did a GOOSE get in here? It was standing next to a rope, presumably the one holding up a girder the bricks were on. Rock snickered realizing the waterfowl's prank. Next to the goose with his Ludicolo at his side was Miror B... who was just dancing, for some reason.

Then, from a trash can, Majima emerged, eyeing the carnage. "Oh, am I a little late to the party? My apologies..." His tune then changed when he saw a certain someone fighting his way through the chaos. "Huh? HEEY, KIRYU-CHAN!" After saying that, he jumped out and joined Kiryu on the field in a flash!

5 Times

Pairing: Damnation!Leon Kennedy x Reader

Warning(s): None

*****

4 times Leon didn't confess his love and 1 time he did.

One

It was the giggles that sailed upon your boat, the laughter, the smiles. You both saw the funny in everything and that was your bond. You could be serious too; you loved deeply of others more than what was generally accepted. So you guessed the humor was how you let out the tension that kind of love brings. In those silly moments you were perfect, and they were the sweetness you needed in rough times. That's what friends do, right? It's the love that makes doors in emotional brick walls, the love that makes everything possible.

That's what Leon always thought. It was so cordial and unique in a way that he felt like what he valued so much was somehow outlandish and alien. He couldn't distinguish what comes out of him whenever you were with him and every tingle that raises hills on his skin was a puzzle he was unable to solve.

"I'll see you around," you mumbled against his chest.

"Yep." Leon unwrapped his arms around you albeit slowly, reluctant for some reason, and smiled through his pursed lips. "I'll see you around."

He watched as you wended your way from his house and into your home, a teasing tug pulling his lips at the ghost of your own against his cheek.

Two

Under the dim lights and the colorful ornamentations, your raiment sparkled against the gleam, catching the eye of many guests, predominantly Leon. You looked like a princess wearing a headband that imitated a crown, a top and a pair of pants embellished with a winking glint that could be mistaken as diamonds from afar, and heeled leather boots that comically made you look tall. Your hair was in a loose and messy braid with a few strands hanging just beside your face and a light chain that twisted along your H/L H/C locks.

Leon was in awe, no doubt. His focus was glued to your appearance. Even when his friends were making random conversations with him, he found it unbearably hard to keep his icy blues away from you.

"You should just ask her out, you know. You've been staring at her with heart eyes the entire night," Chris spoke as he followed the trail of Leon's gaze towards you.

Leon broke away from his stupor and shook his head at the man's voice, his blood rushing towards his neck and face.

"What? No, no. You're mistaken. I-I don't like her like that."

"You sure? Last time we were drunk you were yelling about how much you love her right into my ear."

"We were drunk, Chris."

"And? What's that saying again? A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts?" Chris simpered as Leon's eyes widened in surprise.

"What? Th-that's not true!" He denied.

"Mhm, sure. Anyway, my girlfriend's probably looking for me now," the taller and bulkier man said. "At least ask her to dance."

As Chris' footsteps faded away into the beat of the music, Leon thought about what he had said.

Did he actually like her, or was it just something he was confusing himself with? Either way, you were still a treasured dear to him and whether or not his heart was romantically beating for you, he would still value you the same, although he would probably be a bit clingier if you did end up together.

For now, he'll just ask you for a dance, go with the flow, and see what happens.

Three

The night rode in on a horse of pure midnight velvet, beckoned by the stars under the glow of a full moon. As the colors of the day rested, perhaps dreamt of the morrow, the forest became its monochrome beauty, darkened greens and golds that made an ever-changing, ever-present puzzle, question and answer united.

Fire danced beside you as you and Leon laid against under the constellation of stars and talked the night away, smiling and laughing at every jest that was told.

It felt pleasant to be in his arms and he felt warmth as a wild heart beat in his bars.

"This one," you began, leading his fingers towards a raised and silvery part of your skin, "I got this when I was younger. I got stabbed by a pencil."

"A pencil?"

"Yeah. My friend and I got into a fight and it was buried, like, 3-fucking-inches inside of me. And holy shit, my teacher didn't fucking notice it while I was bleeding profusely. I was leaking hamburger helper!"

Leon busted a gut and pulled you towards him even more as he shook in laughter.

You went on and on about the most absurd things that had happen during your childhood until you lost all energy and eventually fell asleep in Leon's arms.

You looked peaceful, he thought. Your face was so serene as if nothing had really affected you in any way. The world was cruel, but you only sought for the brighter side and stood along it with your back turned to the hell it truly bore. Your lips were parted lightly, and hair just a tad bit messy from all the exaggerated movements you'd done while telling your stories and tossing your head back while laughing. A part of your skin was showing as your top rode up, and he couldn't the blush that crawled up to his face when realized his hand was rested on that patch of skin.

He smiled.

Maybe he did like you, or love you. If his admiration wasn't enough, then his heart reassured him.

Four

"Oh, fuck!"

You swam away from Leon as fast as your arms and legs could fight against the water as he chased you, muscles and quads aiding him. Compared to you, he was more skilled in this type of stuff while you had chicken legs with barely anything of assistance. So it was no surprise when he caught up to you with spider hands and wrapped his arms around your waist. He tickled your stomach, the bareness of it making the stimulation all the more patent and making you guffaw while squirming in his arms.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry!" You cried in between laughter. You turned around to face him when you felt his hands making a stop against the side of torso and looked at the wonders of his eyes steadily and intensely.

You didn't notice it, but Leon's breath hitched at the proximity of your faces, the hot air that flew out of your nose hitting the droplets on his face. You were in a daze. Both of you. It felt so intimate and bona fide that for a second that was your only reality.

Your fingers trailed up his chest, neck, and finally his cheek, and for a moment, your hand was still on his face with only your thumb moving to stroke the scar that was stripped away from his hair. Leon furrowed his brows. The inside of your lip was lightly bitten as you thought about your next action for a moment. But decided that fuck it, life is short. If he felt the same way than congrats! But if he didn't, well, it's either he'll pull away or kiss back with no purpose. And hey, what's the matter with making out with your best friend?

And so, you drew a bit closer, albeit rather slowly in case Leon wanted to pull away. But seeing as he was copying your motions, you saw his intention and pressed your lips against his in a shy lip-lock.

Five

Leon tugged on his tie as he looked at the people dancing around inside of the venue, his heart doing a little dance of its own when he saw you smiling with the crowd.

He blew a sigh, the breeze intertwining with the air. He could see the party from the balcony: flashes of different color schemes, the swaying of dresses as the women moved, the chattering of people as they drank the glasses of champagne. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe this was all about you and him; two souls entwined by love.

"I see you didn't invite me," a sultry and velvety voice said from beside him. He knew who it was and it didn't faze him anymore to see her appearing uninvited as she always did.

"What are you doing here, Ada?"

"What, I can't go see two of my favorite people anymore?"

"Well, it always ended in a mess, anyway, so what's the point." Ada chuckled in response and leaned back against the railing, the smile her giggling left still ghosting on her face. It was all jokes, fun, and games to her for a moment until she turned serious and gazed at you from a distance where you couldn't notice.

"Take care of each other, Leon. You both are worth more than what you give yourselves credit for," she muttered. "I wish I could've given her the life you're giving to her now. But I can't, and I'll remain like this until I die."

In the depths of her mind, Ada reminisced on the time when she was in Leon's position. She gave the love you needed and wanted, and cared for you in so many ways. But she was a mercenary, a wanted one at that, and she knew that one day, everything would be thrown into a void or burned until it turned to ashes. So, she broke what you had off and handed you to Leon where he could give you a better life.

Leon couldn't say anything. It seemed rude and odd but he remembered when you knocked on his door, drenched in rain water and sobbing everything from your chest. It hurt to see you like that. And so, he promised. He promised to be the best husband he could ever be and shower you with everything he could give you.

"Leon!" Your voice rang out as you ran towards him with a wide smile on your face, startling the both of them.

Leon turned towards where Ada stood but saw that she was gone as if she was nothing but an apparition that was made by his mind.

He was befuddled for a moment, pondering about his encounter with the woman, but found his heart racing as you came closer to him.

What transpired was long forgotten and all the world could see how Leon mimicked the smile that defined the joy you brought to him. He was just happy to share such a beautiful moment with you and he optimistically wondered about what was ahead of you.

He pulled you towards him and spun you around as he battered your face with kisses, whispering 'I love you's and so many more sweet nothings against your cheeks while you laughed in his arms.

Hidden within the shadows was the raven-haired woman, imitating their smiles as she watched the intimacy from afar. She felt like her mission was done and although it hurt, she was thankful for what she'd done. Leon was going to give you the life you deserved and he was going to fill the holes she'd left.

*****

This was rushed. Lol. And I'm using my phone. How was it tho?

This was the outfit I had in mind. Feel free to change it though.

[TRR: WD106] Avoiding A Blunder

Summary: Prince Liam has to fill in for Crown Prince Leo, and Murphy’s Law is put into motion at the end of his trip. Chaos ensues, condensed Wacky Drabble style. Fic Rating/Warning: M; alcohol consumption, minor health/medical emergency, anxiety/angst Author’s Note: All main characters belong to Pixelberry/The Royal Romance, I’m just borrowing them * Fictional versions of IRL individuals are included with affection; any other characters mentioned in this piece are my creation * This is my submission for @wackydrabbles Prompt 106: You’re gonna get us busted! * You have @the-soot-sprite and @ao719 to thank for this ridiculousness, lol - Soot reblogged a photo, Betsy sent me this request

and...this is what my brain came up with (PS - thank you both for the movie discussion) * For the purposes of this story, Triydalia is a fictional country that shares a border with Thailand * Word Count: 1999 😅 (7 minutes reading time)

Taglist (if your name is crossed out, I'll tag you in the comments): @/ao719 @burnsoslow @gkittylove99 @neotericthemis @ofpixelsandscribbles @rainbowsinthestorm @superharriet @/the-soot-sprite @choiceskatie @jaqren @aestheticartsx @bbrandy2002 @dcbbw @gnatbrain @jared2612 @kingliam2019 @ladyangel70 @lovingchoices14 @nestledonthaveone @princessleac1 @queenjilian @sfb123 @texaskitten30 @theroyalheirshadowhunter @yourmajesty09

Liam was used to filling in for Leo at a moment’s notice; participating in conference calls with ambassadors for early morning updates when Leo overslept, and attending meetings with ministers when Leo went AWOL. He’d grown accustomed to his brother’s antics, but he wondered how Bastien managed to keep his position, when he’d lost track of Leo’s whereabouts countless times.

While Leo spent more time avoiding his duties as Crown Prince of Cordonia, Liam dutifully took on the extra responsibilities in stride. It often meant partitioning his already packed schedule to sit in on vital cabinet meetings or dining with visiting dignitaries, but sometimes Leo’s vanishing acts gave Liam the opportunity to travel.

Though their ambassadors handled the majority of day-to-day relations with other countries for trade, Constantine preferred to meet face-to-face when he could. One such time, a lingering cough turned to walking pneumonia, restricting Constantine to as much bed rest as possible. It also meant sending Leo to Japan for a meeting with the Prime Minister in his stead.

It would have been fine, if Leo hadn’t pulled another one of his disappearing acts.

A week later, Liam was seated on the royal jet on his way back from Tokyo, navy attache with espresso brown leather trim in the chair next to him. Across from him, Maxwell chatted with Anya over various Thai dishes. On the other side of the plane, Drake was in a heated discussion with leggy blonde Anitah while the ladies’ petite friend Donna observed in silence, fighting back a grin. “You’re an imbecile if that’s your opinion,” Anitah declared, raising her hands up in the air. “Are you sure that’s the hill you wanna die on?”

Drake smugly sipped from the crystal tumbler in his hand. “I’m right and you know it.”

“What are you two talking about?” Liam asked, relieved to think about anything other than what was in the bag and why it was so important he hand deliver it to his father.

“Fight Club being a better cinematic masterpiece than The Princess Bride,” Drake replied. “You guys agree, right? If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, you’d want to watch Tyler Durden fight the system instead of some…” he paused to sneer at Anitah, who crossed her arms and stuck out her tongue at him, “...story about a swashbuckler rescuing a princess? She’s not even a real princess!”

“Fight Club is such a guy movie though,” Anya argued, turning in her seat to face Drake. “Princess Bride appeals to men and women, with a much larger audience.”

“Okay, that’s two for Buttercup,” Drake sighed. “Maxwell? Li?” He looked at his friends expectantly.

“Fight Club, definitely,” Maxwell said, nodding his head. He’d spent the better part of the trip doing everything to get into Drake’s good graces after the octopus incident on the first night in Tokyo.

Before Liam could respond, a commotion from the front of the plane made everyone’s heads turn, where a pair of Kings Guards and two flight attendants were seated near the galley. One of the guards slipped into the cockpit, rushing out a moment later in Liam’s direction, as the jet slowly tilted to the right. “Apologies, Your Highness. Do you or any of your guests happen to speak Triydalian?”

Anya slowly raised her hand. “I knew a bit when I was a kid, but I haven’t used it in years.”

The guard motioned for her to join him. “Please come with us, miss. The pilots need a translator.”

“Is everything alright, Remy?” Liam peered past the guard, eyes widening at the sight of the other guard and one attendant hovering in front of the other attendant in a chair.

“We need to land the plane, Sir,” Remy answered, ushering Anya up from her seat. “Ramona passed out. She’s breathing but unresponsive.”

Twenty minutes later and after a jarring landing, they’d arrived at a small airport in the Republic of Triydalia, at the edge of one of the country’s many jungle forests. Calling it an airport was generous - it was more of a cleared dirt path in the middle of the jungle with a shack for an airport tower, and a man that looked like more of a hunter than an air traffic controller. After a choppy conversation that required pantomiming and hand signals, Anya left with Remy and the man from the tower to fetch a tribal doctor, while Anitah and Donna assisted the other member of the cabin crew to look after Ramona. They were warned to remain as quiet as possible and to stay inside the jet.

Minutes passed by in tense observation; Anitah and Drake continued their debate in low whispers, growing louder as they defended their choices. Liam could see the pilots discussing something pointedly as they checked readings on the instrument panel and worked on calculations. One of them stepped out, claiming that he needed to stretch his legs, and walked cautiously down the runway. When he returned, the other pilot joined him outside, despite the original warning to stay inside. Liam peered out the windows and checked his watch, worrying about Anya and Remy, along with his father’s instructions to avoid delaying their return.

While the remaining guard headed towards the back of the plane to pace back and forth for the eighth time, Liam took it upon himself to speak with the pilots. The air was thick and stifling the moment he stepped outside. Around them, there was nothing but green, green, and more green from the wilderness that surrounded them, abuzz with tropical birds and insects. At his side he carried the blue attache, remembering the promise to his father that the bag wouldn’t leave his sight. He spoke in a hushed tone when he approached the pilots. “You’re doing more than just stretching your legs, aren’t you, Captain?”

Both men grimaced slightly. “Yes, Your Highness. Even if we pulled back to one end of the runway, we’re still at least five hundred feet short of clearing takeoff.”

“What if we worked to try and clear the brush on either end?” Liam offered, looking off into the distance.

“There’s no way to clear out the trees, even the young ones,” the co-captain answered. “We might be able to take off if we could drop some weight, but the larger concern is the longer we wait, we increase the risk of encountering someone who doesn’t want us here.”

Liam nodded gravely; months of civil unrest in Triydalia meant rebel groups assembled faster than the government could contain them. There was no guarantee of anyone’s safety, stranded on a remote runway. There was no telling what was wrong with Ramona while she was unconscious, and therefore no way to treat her without the aid of a doctor. Ensuring the safety of the crew and his friends could have been avoided altogether if Leo didn’t constantly opt out of handling the duties of his station. In that moment, Liam abhorred the never-ending list of responsibilities thrust at him as a result of having to pick up the slack for his brother, knowing if their roles were reversed, Leo would manage to find a way to leave Liam to solve problems on his own.

“Could you excuse me for a moment?”

He’d barely finished asking the question before walking into the tall grass by the edge of the runway. Ignoring the pilots’ calls to return, Liam sprinted into the dense greenery, dodging between vines and scanning the ground for tripwires until he could no longer see the plane over his shoulder. When he finally stopped running, he bent over, hands on his knees as he gulped in air. Liam looked down at the blue bag in his hand, wondering what on earth was so precious to reduce him to a courier.

Shaking the bag did nothing; it felt practically empty, though he could tell something was inside. He couldn’t open the bag to check, since Prime Minister Abe and his father were the only ones with keys, and PM Abe handed him the sealed bag when they parted ways. Liam wanted to throw the infernal “murse” the ladies had good-naturedly teased him for into the bushes. Perspiration dotted his hairline, and he let out a primal scream, before taking slow, deep breaths to quiet the worrisome thoughts racing in his head and bring his heartbeat down to normal.

Cursed courier bag in his right hand, Liam braced his arm against his torso, pinning it in place with his elbow when he bent his other arm up towards his face. Curling his fingers into a relaxed fist, he pressed his lips against his thumb, thick brows furrowing in thought. All around him, wild birds called to one another amidst the chittering clamor of insects hidden in the foliage. He was so busy running through scenarios in his head that he didn’t hear the quiet click of a camera, turning to look up only when he heard a branch snap in the distance.

“Watch it! You’re gonna get us busted!” Donna hissed to Drake. She pocketed her phone, elbowing Drake in the ribs as they crouched behind large leaves. She ticked her head in Liam’s direction. “Go get your boy, none of us are safe out here.”

After some coaxing, Liam headed back to the plane with Donna and Drake, walking briskly through the jungle, eyes trained to look for anything out of the ordinary. Liam was alarmed when he heard and then saw the engines running, until Drake explained the pilots were burning off fuel to lighten the plane. They’d begun to walk up the steps, when Maxwell popped out above them. “Whoo!” Maxwell exclaimed, digging for another snack from the container he cradled in his arm. “Feels like a sauna out here!”

“Lower your voice, Maxwell! Please!” Liam seethed. His features pinched together in disbelief. “Are you...eating? Now?”

“You know I stress snack,” Maxwell replied, shrugging his shoulders. He shoved another cookie into his mouth.

Liam’s eyes lit up and he took the stairs two by two, knocking on the cockpit door before swinging it open. “What if we unloaded whatever’s not bolted down? The decor, dinnerware, the food and drink?”

“That...would certainly help,” the captain replied, looking back over his shoulder. He turned to his co-pilot. “It could be enough to get in the air after burning off the excess fuel.”

“You heard the man, Maxwell,” Liam said, offering his friend a nervous grin. “Get Drake to help you start unloading the plane. Has Ramona’s status changed?”

“Donna found the first aid kit just before she took off with Drake to go after you. Anitah found some smelling salts that gave her a rude wakeup call. Turns out her insulin pump shorted and she just needed some juice.”

Several more minutes passed as the group removed whatever they could from the plane, leaving piles of cookware, food, throw pillows, and even seat cushions to lighten the load. Drake whined when they gathered up the liquor, but he stuffed a bottle of whiskey in a cabinet by his seat. They’d nearly finished when Anya and Remy returned, running on foot. “That thing better be ready to take off!” Anya hollered, motioning for everyone to board. “Rebels on our tail! Time to go!”

Everyone scrambled back onto the plane; Liam relayed the urgency to depart to the pilots, who rapidly went through their flight checklist. Remy pulled Anya up onto the steps and they all clamored to buckle into their seats, the sound of gunfire in the air as the jet rolled forward and lurched up into the air, barely clearing the canopy.

Adrenaline pumping and breaths shallow, Liam looked around at his friends and the crew, thankful they were safely in the air again.

Liam thought he was having a stroke at twenty-four when he saw the contents of the bag. Constantine smiled with glee at the small gold cat, one paw raised.

oh yes i know those people. people like to...wait. do you hear that? it sounds like rumbling. is someone...coming?

oh! fight! fight! fight! get his ass! 9/10

where's the rest of the elements?? bud it's a uquiz i don't have time to list off all 118 AND COUNTING elements because you've got a praseodymium fetish. 2/10

the saloon goes silent. the piano stops. "a lyrics question?" I don't look at you. i take a long, slow swig of my drink. it's a capri sun that i've squirted into a flask. everyone is waiting to see what i'll do next. the bartender, who had been polishing the same glass with a rag for the last three hours, stops. you are acutely aware of my hand gently resting on my pistol. i chuckle. "now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time." 6/10

eyy no problem bud i'm always here to represent the people gotta do the speed am i rite 8/10

well. that's. hmmmmmmm. i've been thinking about this. i guess they're both things we came up with to explain various phenomena? but. I don't know how to explain this other than. math is real. 2+2 is 4 and gravitational force can be calculated by dividing the gravitational constant times both masses by the radius squared. it works every time. that's not true of astrology. i'm a sagittarius but i'm nothing like that. astrology doesn't always follow perfect logical reasoning in the same way math does. thanks for the head scratcher. even if you're point isn't right that doesn't matter because we had a great discussion. also how did you answer this in negative time. 10/10

to die on a hill is bravery, but to pls relax everybody is wisdom. 10/10

this hearkens back to the age old moral dilemma: is man good or evil? does man, upon seeing a "do not interact" respectfully go about his way, not interacting, or take that list of triggers as a check list with which to assault his fellow man? how dare you make me use my brain for three questions in a row. 4/10

damn. it really do. 0/10

🖤 I See My Future Before Me 🖤

***

XXI

***

"Jack is dead!"

"But, that is just a movie!"

"I know! Poor Rose!"

"I'm gonna take a shower. Wanna join?"

"As if!"

"You bought another painting?"

"Yes. And?"

"But, you already have that!"

"There is a fine line between Aphrodite and Io. Learn to see the difference."

"What movie are you gonna watch?"

"Dracula."

"But, you've seen that about twenty - ish times!"

"Twenty - six, to be exact."

"Twenty - six?! Twenty - six freaking times?!"

"Dracula is my favorite movie! Got a problem with that?!"

"Watching it twenty - six times is problematic enough!"

"At least I don't watch porn!"

"Hey, babe, will you be my girlfriend?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because you rarely take showers."

"If I take a shower now, will you be my girlfriend?"

"No."

"So, will you join me instead?"

"NO!"

One by one, memories of you flooded through Dante's mind, reminding him of all the precious moments he had with you.

The way you dressed, the way you carried yourself,...

... your subtle mannerisms,...

Your eyes, your hair, your laugh,...

... your kindness,...

Dante's shoulders slouched. He dropped the Empusa head on the ground as Balrog reached its limit. He looked up at the massive demonic mechanism in the sky, then back to the ground where the carcasses of the Demons he slew lay.

He closed his eyes and inhaled, his chest suddenly getting heavy.

Then, your voice came back to his chaotic mind.

Dante,...

At first, it sounded like a whisper. Subtle, soft, and like a gentle wind in his ears.

All of a sudden, your voice grew louder, sounding more and more like a moan.

A moan of pain and suffering.

Dan,... te,...

He opened his eyes, feeling the tears threatening to come out of them.

Instead of going directly inside the Dreadnought to end it once and for all, he hastily went towards the opposite direction, longing to see you,...

... just one last time.

Dante,...

Went your voice inside his head. The more you called him, the more his movements became rash and quick.

"(Y/N), wait for me,..." the Devil Hunter groaned, feeling absolutely sick in the stomach. "I'm coming,..."

Him hearing your voice like that, he knew something really bad was going to happen. And he couldn't shake the foreboding feeling off his mind.

He needed to see you. He had to.

With every step he made and every path he crossed, memories came crashing down upon his heavy heart, making it harder and harder for him to control himself.

He heard your voice once more but, this time, he saw your tear - filled hurt eyes, like some heartless person managed to bring you down to such a degrading state.

At that painful vision, Dante finally lost it. Without so much as a little effort, he summoned all his strength and transformed to his Devil form. He spread his wings wide and darted into the sky in search of the person who needed him.

Of the person he loved above all,...

He searched with his weary, yet sharp, eyes, saw every inferior Devil Hunter in combat against the demonic horde the Dreadnought just brought, and spotted, right above that hill, the form he ached to meet the most.

He focused his gaze on his goal and flew hastily towards it with unbelievable speed.

"Hey, what's that?" Griffon asked as he saw a blur of speeding red light flying rapidly towards the two of you.

You looked up, adjusted your gaze to the morning light, and realized who it was.

"It's,... Dante,..." you mouthed breathlessly, unable to believe your own eyes. "But, why?"

"Sorry, sweet pea. Have to deal with this on your own!"

"Hey!"

But, you were too late. Griffon vanished, returning to you and making your new contract markings visible once more.

The man, or the Red Devil, landed right in front of you, annihilating everything beneath his feet and within proximity.

You covered your eyes to protect them from the dust and debris, and a few moments later, you felt yourself being wrapped with an extremely strong and warm pair of arms. You opened your eyes and saw the achingly familiar maroon jacket belonging to the man you pushed away a week ago,...

... for the man who just rejected you.

Dante embraced you like he never embraced anyone before: with complete and utter intensity, yet, with gentleness he didn't know he had. He sniffed your hair and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that you were safe and unharmed,...

... until he smelled the faint scent of your fragrant blood coming from the bandage around your wounded stomach.

The man then grasped your arms as he looked at your mid - section, sensing your injury beneath your stained parka.

"You're hurt." Dante, with furrowed eyebrows, uttered with such pain in his voice.

"I,..." you were about to lie but, seeing it was futile, hesitated to do so. "I was."

"What happened? Please, tell me." The man begged.

You swore you would never cry again after what happened with V, and yet, seeing Dante worried about you like this,...

... you knew you're going to bawl your eyes out again.

And at the mere thought, you could already feel your tired eyes stinging.

What did I do to deserve all this torture?!

"A Demon almost killed me,..."

"Then, withdraw from this battle! Please, I beg you! I don't want to see you hurt like this! Please!"

"Dante,..." you whispered, cupping his face with your soft and gentle hands in an effort to calm him down. But, you knew he would never budge. "It would take,... much more than a demonic attack to hurt me. You know that."

"What do you mean? (Y/N)?"

And then, he saw your eyes, your forced smile,...

... your tears.

Right then and there, he realized what just happened.

For almost a week, a thought has been bothering him about letting you go.

And now, it seemed that his hunches were proven to be correct.

"V DID THIS TO YOU." He said, his tone almost sounding like a growl.

"Listen to me very carefully, Dante - "

"I LEFT YOU, EVEN IF IT HURTS, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WILL BE HAPPY WITH HIM! AND LOOK WHAT HE DID TO YOU!"

Dante became engulfed with the red glow that emanated from his body, enabling him to morph into his demonic form once more.

This time, to murder the man who hurt you.

To end the man who started all of this.

The man,...

... who was the sole reason for that innocent kid to murder his own father without even knowing,...

"Dante, listen to me!" You pleaded, throwing yourself in front of the horrific creature and wrapping your arms around him to calm him down. "No one has to get hurt! V doesn't deserve this! Dante, please!"

The Devil, who was undeniably powerless before you, couldn't even throw you away. "HE HURT YOU! HE HURT THE WOMAN I LOVE!"

You looked up, shocked at what you just heard.

All of a sudden, some memories flashed through your weak state of mind.

"Hey, babe, aren't you aware that you're the most beautiful woman I've ever met?"

"I got nothing on Trish and Lady, I'll have you know,..."

"And that I love you so much?"

"Oh, shut up, Dante. And stop making jokes, it's not funny,..."

"(Y/N), can't you even understand?" Dante morphed back to his human form, his emotions getting the better of him. "He doesn't love you. WHO, IN THEIR RIGHT MIND, WOULD HURT SOMEONE THEY LOVE?! (Y/N), V NEVER LOVED YOU! AND HE NEVER WILL!"

Despite the hurtful truth that he was trying to instill in you, you remained rooted to the ground, still embracing the Devil Hunter who truly cared about you.

"I know but, I have a duty to see this through." You answered, your voice trembling with the tears that poured out of your already bloodshot eyes. "V needs me and I have to see this until the end!"

Dante cupped your face with his huge hands and made you look up at him.

"If you must, then I will let you go. Once more." He replied, every drop of your tears painfully driving a nail through his already beaten heart. "But, swear to me that after all this, you will go back home. Back to me, where you really belong."

As if your eyes never had enough of tears in one, single day. "You don't understand,..."

"What I don't understand is your blind devotion to that man! (Y/N), I love you! Even if you always poke fun at me for telling you. I love you!"

You gasped and sobbed, unable to control the fresh bout of tears that were coming out of your eyes.

Dante, you don't understand! You helplessly thought. Even if I swear to you, even if I want to, I will never be able to make it out of this alive! I'm going to die - !

"Dante, please - !"

But, your thoughts and words alike were silenced the moment he crashed his mouth unto yours, kissing you with such passion that you never knew he was capable of.

And at that moment, some more memories came back to haunt you.

"Dante, how do I look?"

"Ravishing."

"Okay, you can put those right over there."

"How many more of these vases are you gonna collect, hm?"

"Dante, you need to stop eating pizza!"

"And why is that?"

"Because, it's unhealthy! And,..."

"And?"

"And,..."

"So, if I stop, will you be mine?"

"NO!"

"(Y/N), I feel dizzy,..."

"You drank too much again,..."

"One kiss will make me feel better."

"Oh, shut the hell up."

You held up both your hands and placed them against his chest in an effort to push him away but, he only tightened his hold on you, at the same time making his kisses more intense than ever before.

When he finally let you go to catch some air, you felt your head spinning with all the emotions and the memories that plagued your mind.

He brushed some tears from your face with his thumb as he made you look at him in the eye once more.

"Promise me you'll make it through." He told you with a much calmer tone. "Then, after all this, I'll come and find you."

"Dante, I - "

"Okay, baby, let's change it. I'll come when you need me. I'll rush to you as fast as I can. After this fight, we'll come home, take a long bath, and stay in bed for as long as we want. I'll be your home. I promise."

Your heart ached for the kind man who sincerely adored you. As much as you wanted to accept his offer, knowing that he'll never break his word, you had to accept that you would not survive this battle.

As much as you wanted to heal the wounds of rejection, you knew everything must end.

And finally, as much as you wanted to tell Dante everything, you just couldn't. The truth would break the man's heart, and he might actually murder V in the process.

You bowed down low and simply nodded, the simple, deceptive gesture making you utterly sick to the core. You feared that the man would see through your lie but, apparently, he didn't.

"Alright. I'll make this quick, then." The man said, finally letting you go as he took some steps away from you. "I'll see you soon."

He would leave. He really was going to leave,...

"Dante!" You helplessly called, your conflicting emotions tempting you to just drop everything and tell him the truth.

"Don't worry, babe. I'll finish this battle as quick as I can." The man said with a brave smile. He then saluted you as he morphed into his demonic form once again. "Adios!"

"DANTE!"

But, you were too late. He launched himself, flying away from you like the last thread of hope that just escaped your clutches.

It was the last time you saw him.

youtube

"Don't look back.

Don't regret.

Time's falling out of these hands.

I'll let you leave me.

Go on,

You know home is always inside your soul.

All the light to bless your way.

Don't be afraid,

And I'll be your home.

In this time,

In this place,

This moment is all we have.

And tomorrow we never know.

Every precious time,

Let it go,

Somewhere away.

You will learn, And you'll love,

Forgive the past and you can move on.

All the distance

You've come to a place.

Then you see that your home is away

Now the sun is rising

Lighting up your sky again brightly.

Every precious time,

Let it go,

Somewhere away.

You will learn, And you'll love,

Forgive the past.

Go on,

You know home is always inside your soul.

Where ever you go,

Whatever you see,

I'll be the place,

And I'll be your home."

Dante landed just in time when Lady and Trish finished some Demons below the Dreadnought, itself.

"And he finally arrives." Lady sarcastically said as she lazily leaned on her Kalina Ann.

"What? No guts to enter that ship thing?" Dante teased as he transformed back to his human form.

"It won't let us." Trish sadly announced, making Dante furrow his eyebrows in confusion.

"Meaning?"

"See for yourself." Lady pointed at the Dreadnought's entrance where some kind of a barrier made of light could be seen. "I tried shooting that but, I can't destroy it."

"Not even I can." Trish admitted.

"Were you two just weak, then?" Dante asked them.

The Bewitching Devil rolled her eyes and shook her head. She then threw the Devil Sword Sparda to Dante. He caught it with ease, then glanced at her with an awkward smile.

"It only allows certain people to enter." Trish informed him. "V just got through."

At the sound of the man's name, Dante's veins threatened to pop. "HIM?!" He practically screamed.

"As easy as blinking an eye."

"How could he even - ?!"

Lady sighed. "Well, you have the Sparda! Go after him, then!"

The Devil Hunter growled as he morphed once more. And with the powerful Sparda at his disposal, he flew towards the barrier, and was able to enter easily without even breaking a sweat.

"And there he goes." Lady sighed as she saw the Devil disappear into the Dreadnought.

She sighed even more at the sight of the incoming horde before them.

"You sound bored." Trish stated as she held up a single hand, summoning all her powers and making it light up. She balled it into a fist and a clear jolt of electricity ran through her whole body.

Lady shook her head. "What's the fun in this? The real enemy is up there!"

Trish gave her a sideways glance. Ever since she had that talk with V, her mind had been in total shambles due to the confusion on who the enemy really was.

So, she just decided to let Dante handle everything by giving him the powerful sword, knowing that he'll beat some sense out of V, who seemed to have learned nothing.

Not at all.

"Hey, the one who bags the most Demons gets treated to the salon." Trish challenged Lady with a smile.

"Ohoho, no you don't!" Lady smiled, lifting her weapon effortlessly in an acceptance of the challenge.

The two ladies charged forward, not letting a single Demon escape their clutches,...

After searching for ages I finally got a job! It's not huge but it's something to get me started again. Rebooting my life. Point is, I work at a library now and I wanted to know if you had some librarian Sterek? I'll even take hanging out at a library Sterek! Thank you and have a nice day!

AND

Anonymous said:Could you do a sterek library sex rec?

Congratulations! I have always wanted to be a librarian. I guess I’ll console myself with being a curator of fics instead of books. And for the second ask, some of these contain sex and some don’t. And our librarian!Stiles tag.- Anastasia

checking him out by Marishna

(1/1 I 1,063 I Teen)

He was back.

Tall, dark, and broody was back on his floor for the third Friday night in a row… with a partner. Of course TDB would have a gorgeous, blonde girlfriend.

he Derek Hale Munch for BDSM Beginners (Friday Night in the Salinger Library, Room 4) by house_of_lantis

(1/1 I 3,884 I Mature)

Everyone told him that college was a time for experimentation and personal growth, the first step towards adulthood and the real world. Stiles Stilinski is a freshman and he leaps into the fire with both feet, drawn in by the sexy and mysterious Derek Hale, who also happens to be the toppiest Dom and also the president of the university’s BDSM club. What began as a healthy curiosity for the kinky and the perverted turns into a journey of self-discovery as Stiles learns about and accepts his kinks and who he wants to teach him to truly submit.

Maybe this time with clothes? by fairyfey

(1/1 I 1,840 I General)

“But” Scott pointed out “You had time to get dressed. Did you not think you were going to die?”

Stiles waved his hands about, as much as he could whilst holding a takeout box and chopsticks and rolled his eyes.

“Does it matter? The building wasn’t really on fire and I got a hot guys number!”

“Yeah, a hot guy who wears pink underwear” Scott grumbled.

Stiles sighed.

“Scott, your boxers have cartoon puppies on them, are you really one to judge?”

Scott, looking defeated, asked when Stiles was going to call Derek.

Talk Nerdy To Me by stileskolpath

Stiles’ textbooks have been going missing…

… And are coming back with highlights and notes and shit.

He suspects a werewolf is to blame.

Derek and the Librarian by tabbytabbytabby

(1/1 I 1,855 I General)

However, when he can’t find the next book in the series he’s reading at any of the local stores he’s forced to go to the local library. There he meets Stiles, the librarian. After that Derek finds himself going to the library more and more often just to see Stiles. Little does Derek know, Stiles is taking extra shifts at the library in hopes of seeing Derek.

Come On Down by captaintinymite (augopher)

(1/1 I 2,215 I General)

Stiles has been working to complete the unfinished items on his mother’s bucket list for a while now. He’s down to the last two items on her list of twenty-five: Appear on the Price is Right and See Stiles meet that special someone.

He’s got the first one of those in the bag when he hears those famed words, “…come on down! You’re the next contestant on The Price is Right.” Little did he know, he’d manage to complete the second one too.

and that’s a wrap by the_problem_with_stardust

(2/2 I 4,120 I Teen)

An insanely attractive guy and his terrifying dog move into the Preserve. Too bad Stiles is a magnet for embarrassing situations.

He Blinded Me With Library Science by mklutz

(1/1 I 6,575 I Explicit)

Stiles blinks. “Right, the reading room. Do you have your, uh …library card?” he asks. He’s never been able to make that sound normal and not vaguely dirty when he actually means wand.

In which Derek gets a new roommate whose best friend takes to practically living on their couch pretty quickly.Which wouldn’t be a problem except for the fact that said best friend is the same guy who’s been holding Derek’s table at the library hostage for the better part of a month.And, oh yeah, there’s also this thing where Derek might maybe be the tiniest bit in love with him.Easy peasy.

Things Left Unsaid by Dexterous_Sinistrous

(5/5 I 40,262 I Explicit)

Struggling with library patrons, being an uncle to Scott and Kira’s baby, being grossed out by his dad and Melissa’s adorable domesticity. Those were things Stiles could handle. What he couldn’t handle were his feelings for Derek Hale. Feelings he thought he squared away years ago, the night Derek left Beacon Hills for good–at least that’s what everyone thought.

But after dedicating a collection in the public library to the Hales, Stiles gets to reevaluate just how strongly a certain Hale can affect him. It doesn’t help that everyone knows to ignore talking about the night Derek left. The night Derek and Stiles left a mark on each other.

Now, they both have to struggle through being there for Scott and Kira, while trying not to kill each other. Through the shared tears and laughter, they both come to realize there are more than a few things they left unsaid.

Meet Stiles a junior at a small California college. He’s a teacher’s assistant and a librarian. While on a mission to find someone to give a lecture he meets the young and rich Derek. The attraction between the two is electric and they can’t seem to stay away from each other. Derek is pretty experienced in the sexual field while Stiles is a virgin. Can he handle that? Follow along as Stiles finds out his limits in a way that causes him to lose Derek because talking is way to easy. When Derek re-enters his life things are different and so is Stiles. Come with them as they learn to trust each other and accept who the other is despite their flaws.

The Moon’s Gonna Follow Me Home by turningterrific

(2/2 I 82,866 I Explicit)

Derek doesn’t want to call the window repair guy. He doesn’t want to sweep up the glass. He’ll inevitably miss a few shards and pull them out of the bottom of his bare feet for weeks.

He doesn’t want to try to make this place feel like home when it isn’t.

Derek stayed in Beacon Hills and tried to make it work because he wanted pack, wanted purpose. He gave his best effort and found himself back where he started: alone, with a few begrudging allies. He’s tired, and even though his werewolf body heals quickly, he feels the weary ache down to his center.

He packs his car with the few things he cares about enough to drag them from place to place. He locks the loft and calls a realtor about listing the building he’d bought in a misguided attempt to secure a future.

And then he leaves.

I'll Follow You (Rajila) - Laurie

I couldn’t help myself with this one. It was just some silly idea based on Greek Mythology but probably not completely accurate, I tried though.

I hope you all enjoy it because Rajila is sorely needed!

(TW; character death - but it all gets fixed in the end! Promise!)

Some time before Manila had been born, her parents consulted a prophet who gave them a grave prophecy; their daughter would die young. They had begged the gods to protect their unborn child, that they would do anything to keep their daughter safe. One god heard their cry; Raja, a beautiful and powerful goddess who could cause great destruction if she was angered. She promised that their child would be safe, so long as she served as a priestess to her and protected her temple of worship. Manila’s parents agreed to this, in order to ensure their child’s safety.

Manila was a dutiful daughter, although she wasn’t initially pleased to give up her freedom to a goddess, which meant she had to remain a virgin and spend a lot of time in the temple, however, she had one constant companion. Raja would come to visit her priestess as much as she could. Manila would be enrapt by the stories of the great wars and of Mount Olympus. Their friendship grew over the years, which became a concern for some of the gods, who warned Raja that falling in love with a mortal would only cause her pain and heartache, but she paid them no mind because she had fallen in love with her priestess.

Manila was a beautiful and kind woman, the city knew of her beauty and her devotion to her goddess, many men had tried to seduce her away from her vocation, but they were unsuccessful. It was unclear if her disinterest was for fear of the prophecy coming true, or perhaps she had foolishly fallen in love with a goddess.

Neither of them spoke of this, it would have only given them trouble. However, they would allow themselves to be close, particularly on nights like this, on the steps of the temple, under the twinkling starlight. Manila laid her head in Raja’s lap while the goddess ran her fingers through the woman’s long curls. She couldn’t help but notice that Manila had been too quiet lately, preoccupied with something and it was part of Raja’s duty to help her priestess in any way that she could.

“You could just tell me what’s wrong; I can’t read your mind.” She commented quietly, lowering her eyes to look at the girl in her lap.

Manila made a noncommittal noise, curling her hand into a fist before relaxing again, which made the goddess roll her eyes and gently tug on one of her curls. “Tell me, I can’t help you if you don’t let me.”

The girl sighed, removing herself from Raja’s lap, biting her lip. “Okay…” Manila agreed, reaching for one of Raja’s hands, clasping it in both of her own. “You know that there is trouble between Athens and Sparta?”

“That’s what you’re concerned about, Manila?” Raja asked softly, wondering how such a thought got into her head. “I’m afraid the Spartans will attack, there is talk that they will and if they do, what if they try to attack the temple? I don’t know if I can protect it.” Manila spoke so quickly and seemed to get more and more worked up with every word.

“Hush.” Raja squeezed her hand. “Don’t fret so much. The Spartans would dare attack the temple of a goddess, Manila, they’re not fools and even if they did, you would not be harmed, I will protect you. I promise.” She gathered the girl in her arms, wanting her to feel assured by her goddess’s presence. “And you are certainly able to protect the temple, if you had to, I know it.”

The priestess relaxed in Raja’s arms, calmed by the goddess’s words. “Thank you.” Manila whispered, lifting her head to smile at Raja, which nearly stopped her heart. She was so beautiful. Raja had to restrain herself from kissing her; if she did, then she wouldn’t stop until she could truly claim Manila for herself.

They stayed in their embrace until the air grew cold and Raja told her priestess to rest. When Raja returned to Mount Olympus, much to her dismay she found out that it was true. The Spartans were going to attack Athens when dawn broke.

Manila woke up once the sun hit her eyes, letting out a quiet groan as she sat up and looked out her window to the city – however, something was wrong. All she could see was smoke and fire, all she could hear was screams and cries. The city was under attack. The priestess leaned out of her window, trying to gauge if anyone was approaching the temple. In the distance she could see soldiers walking in the direction of the hill where the temple was location. Dread set in her bones as she left her bedroom in a flurry to the main chamber. She grabbed a javelin which she had trained with for many years, intending to use it to protect the temple.

Manila walked outside, immediately choked by thick smoke from the fires below. She pushed closed the heavy doors so if someone tried to attack, that they wouldn’t get in without going through her first. Adrenaline pumped through her veins when she heard approaching footsteps and was soon greeted with four soldiers. The subtle differences in their armour showed that they weren’t Athenians. Manila gripped the javelin tightly in her hands, standing up straight as possible, head held high.

“You are to go no further. I will not allow you to damage this sacred site.” The priestess spoke in a commanding tone, though she felt terrified for her life.

One soldier stepped forward. “Move aside priestess. We have orders to take every building in the city. You can’t stop us all.”

“I won’t allow it.” Manila snapped. “I’m prepared to lay down my life for my goddess.”

“So be it.” The soldier smirked, lunging forward to attack. The priestess aptly deflected the blow, surging forward to stab the Spartan with the javelin. Once it pierced his chest, he stumbled back which prompted the other three to attack. Manila knew she couldn’t survive this but she would defend Raja until the end.

Raja had to beg and plead to Zeus to be allowed return to Athens. Eventually the god caved, tired of listening to her insistent begging. However she feared it would be too late.

The scene she stumbled upon was her worst fear. Just as she reached her temple, she saw four soldiers trying to pull open the heavy doors and Manila, her sweet priestess, falling to on the ground, blood staining her lips and her robes.

“No! Stop at once.” Raja shouted causing the soldiers to turn, raising their weapons once more however they paused once they realised who it was and now feared for their lives.

The goddess fell to her knees, cradling Manila in her arms. Once Raja knew that her last breath had been taken, her eyes darkened. “You murdered an innocent priestess in your foolish crusade. Sparta and Athens will pay for the anger they have caused me.” Raja hissed. The moment she lifted her eyes to the Spartans, they froze. She had turned them to stone with a single look.

Raja gently removed Manila from her arms - as if she had just been sleeping there rather than dead. She turned towards the city, crying out. “All of Sparta and Athens will pay for the murder of innocent people. I will end this war myself!”

The ground in both cities began to shake and crack beneath the feet of the soldiers fighting the war. It seemed to be an earthquake. The ground opened up, swallowing up those at the forefront of this battle. There was widespread panic, the cities realised they had incurred the wrath of the gods and all fell to their knees to pray for forgiveness. Raja would hear nothing of it.

Once she felt her message had been heard, it began to sink in what had happened to her priestess. Tears welled up in her eyes and Raja didn’t even care when they slipped down her cheeks. Instead of immediately turning back to Manila, she fell to her knees, sobs escaping her lips.

She had promised to keep Manila safe! She wasn’t supposed to die now! She wasn’t supposed to leave her! Raja wrapped her arms around herself and allowed grief to consume her but soon stood and composed herself.

When Raja turned, there was a tall figure concealing Manila’s body. “Aphrodite?” The goddess turned, a sad smile on her beautiful features. “Your love for this mortal woman is pure Raja. I could feel your grief from Olympus and I won’t allow it to darken you.” The woman replied, reaching to take Raja’s hand and made her kneel next to Manila’s body. When Raja was faced with seeing her love once more, once again she sobbed, gathering her priestess in her arms.

“What do you expect to happen? I didn’t want her to die like this!”

“Hush. There is a way that I could return her life.” Aphrodite explained, placing her hand on Raja’s trembling shoulder. “But you will have a great price to pay.” Raja tore her eyes away from Manila’s face. “My life?”

“Your immortality. Your place with us.” She replied. “The choice is yours.” The goddess gave it very little thought. “Yes, Aphrodite, please. I just want Manila back, please.”

Aphrodite nodded curtly. “I will need to visit Hades, but by the morning, Manila’s life will be restored and you will be a mortal woman.”

Raja nodded ferociously, reaching for Aphrodite’s hand. “Thank you, you are a good friend and a kind goddess.” She whispered.

Raja didn’t sleep that night. She watched over Manila’s body, waiting for her to breathe, waiting to feel a change in herself. When dawn broke and still no change, she clasped Manila’s cold hand in her own - perhaps Hades refused to make the trade.

“I’m sorry for never telling you. I should have told you that I love you and I always will.” Raja spoke softly, closing her eyes. But then she felt Manila squeeze her hand and heard a loud gasp. When she opened her eyes, Manila was sitting up, as if woken from a nightmare. The priestess turned to her, eyes widened in shock.

“Raja?” Manila asked, placing her hand on the woman’s cheek. “What ha-” “-I love you, Manila.” Raja spoke quickly, sitting up next to her. “Aphrodite brought you back to life.”

“How? Why? I don’t understand.” She breathed, still clasping Raja’s hand in her own.

“Because she said my love for you is true and my grief would change me.” Raja swallowed. “She gave me the choice to bring you back, if I gave up my immortality.”

“Oh Raja…” The priestess seemed stunned by Raja’s sacrifice. “I… I must confess that I love you too. Of course I do. Aphrodite wouldn’t have brought me back if I didn’t.” Manila breathed, looking down. “But your immortality…”

“A small price for a life with you.” She assured, pulling the woman into a deep kiss. When they pulled back and looked into each other’s eyes, smiling so brightly at each other, they knew that their story of love and sacrifice would not be soon be forgotten by the gods.
