cressworth death trope au
Thomas was not an aggressive person; in fact, he was calmer and more composed than anyone in the room. But since the light of his life died that night, he became someone rather difficult to recognize. Audrey Rose was not only his fiancé but his companion, his best friend, the only constant in his life. Having an upbringing like him that made him believe himself as an unlovable person Audrey Rose, his Wadsworth loved him and cherished him. She restored his faith and loved him endlessly until she disappeared. He does not like to believe she died; he thinks she is still out there researching for a case by herself because she got tired of his sarcastic remarks. But death comes unsolicited and it all becomes clear when you are sitting in the front row of the funeral thrown for the one true love of your life. It all comes to you when you see them being buried in front of your eyes and as much as you want to believe they are not gone, a hollowness in your chest that aches constantly keeps reminding you that the person you wanted to share eternal vows with is indeed not with you anymore.
Thomas could not sleep, he laid in bed recalling all the moments he spent with her, from her brother being jack the ripper to surviving in a ship with a serial killer on the loose. It was all easy with her. She would be focused on her work and Thomas tried to make her smile by flirting and passing scandalous remarks. They would kiss in between, hiding from everyone and laughing till their ribs started hurting. He would hold her and whisper sweet nothings in her ear which to the contrary of what she used to say, she enjoyed. But now with a blink of an eye, everything is gone. No more “I will perform autopsy on you Cresswell if you don’t stop grinning right this instance.” or “This is scandalous Cresswell, we will be caught.”, she used to say while kissing me harder.
He screams harder until he can’t scream anymore. He cries and cries begging for Audrey Rose. He keeps repeating “Come back Wadsworth, just this time. Come back to me, I will do anything for you just come back.” Until the words stops making sense, he screams, screams filled with pain and anguish like he did seeing her body that night when the real Jack the ripper killed her. He pushed everyone and saw her life being brutally taken away from her but there she laid all serene and peaceful.
Everyone around him, including his sister tried to make sure he was okay and god forbid he didn’t do anything to himself. He assured them that everything is okay. He held his sister and cried in her shoulder and kept asking her if she will come back. But soon after all that he refused to face anyone. He grew apart from the reality and started living in his memories, his sweet memories of Audrey Rose, it all became hard. Seeing every little thing reminded him of Audrey Rose, he even gave sir Issac mewton to his sister because he couldn’t bear to look at him. He wanted to spend his lifetime with her, they had so many cases to solve, so many kisses and cuddles to have but it was taken away from them. Who knew that two people who loved each over anything and have overcome lethal scenerios by always staying together were bound to be taken apart so tragically.

One of my fave tropes: character A is dying (sick or wounded) and won’t go until character B gives them permission to let go.
Bonus: character A asks if it’s okay and B tearfully tells them it’s okay to go, and then char A goes.
THE ANGST!!! 😭❤️

Out of Time. [ON HOLD]
Tumblr media
"Hors du temps, Harry." Evelyn said softly. 
She raised her frail hand to caress Harry's face. Harry placed his hand over her's.
"What does that mean?" he asked. 
There's a moment of silence before Evelyn whispers, "We're out of time."

Tw: Death
THE BEST DEATH TROPE:
Character is all alone, bleeding out perhaps, and is not going to make it.
They might be in the rain, the water and blood filling their lungs.
Or maybe they were in a fire, the soot and blood staining their skin.
But then you have their family, friends and loved ones.
They aren’t close. There would be no way for them to make it in time to save them.
But they don’t know anyway.
Maybe it’s a holiday, or a celebration. But they are happy. They are laughing and smiling and don’t have a clue.
While their loved one bleeds out, having no lasting comfort even till their very last breath.

The worst thing for me in a sad show is when two siblings lose a parent and the rest of their family, friends and the fandom show loads of attention, sympathy and love towards the older sibling and their actions towards others are excused while the younger sibling is just stood there like “I lost my parent too”
It’s perfect if it’s on purpose and gives us the angst scene where the younger sibling finally gets to yell at everyone who’s pushed them aside but when it’s not a plot point and just something we’re expected to accept as something okay I get so annoyed. It’s also good when the older sibling also doesn’t agree with how they treat their younger sibling and it gives us the big brother/sister instinct trope because that’s one of my favourites.

One of my favorite angst-ridden tropes, especially if I feel like crying, when done right at least, and is not an abrupt, out of nowhere plot twist for shock value, would have to be the protagonist finding out the companion they've made throughout their journey has been a spirit the entire time, probably killed by the antagonist they're running from long before the both of them even met, but the spirit wanted to make sure at least one of them got out alive.
It is the perfect definition of "right person, wrong time," whether platonic or romantic, with a lovers' relationship, best friends, surrogate siblings or parent-child relationships, either one, because you know if they'd met while both were still alive, they would have loved each other, and possibly had so much more to their story beside the so soon end awaiting when they finish this chapter. They can't even say they lost them if they were already gone before they knew each other. There was never a chance because it was always too late.

Imagined my own death and did not even flinch.
Imagined my beloved dying and it was as if I could feel the earth shaking beneath me.

It always sounded like a fairy tale. The happy ever after. Loving someone and feeling safe. I sleep better by your side. I can imagine us living together, loving each other. Then you left me here alone, like Marc Antony. The love of my life gone forever. Then I woke up and realized you never existed in this plain, in this life.

Say it with me
"bury your gays" is what writers do when they don't want to write queer storylines. If a queer storyline is doing "death trope" it does not necessarily mean its "bury your gays"
