❛ come to me. ❜

❛ a guardian angel. a spirit of comfort. spirit of any celestial sphere. anything. hear my call. ❜

❛ you wakened me from an eternity of darkness. ❜

❛ you are not for the living. you are not for human kind. ❜

❛ and shall you be one with me ever-eternally? ❜

❛ come here. there’s nothing to be afraid of. ❜

❛ i wish i could stay, my love. ❜

❛ why have you killed these beautiful flowers? ❜

❛ i must tell you my dream. ❜

❛ i’d never been so happy as that moment… as i held hands with death. ❜

❛ i wish you to have all you deserve. ❜

❛ you mustn’t leave. i love you too much. ❜

❛ i will stay with you until you are fast asleep. ❜

❛ uh, forgive me. i only wish to stay one night. ❜

❛ by god’s name, never speak of that castle. ❜

❛ i banish you, i banish you with garlic. ❜

❛ beware of his shadow. ❜

❛ the shadow covers you in a nightmare. ❜

❛ you are late. the midnight hour has passed. ❜

❛ i wish you to do as i request. ❜

❛ i will be addressed as the honor of my blood demands it.❜

❛ speak not of it again! ❜

❛ take heed what you do. ❜

❛ i might ease your wound. ❜

❛ come by the fire. ❜

❛ your face shows you unwell. ❜

❛ do you ever feel at times as if you were not… as if you were not a person? ❜

❛ look at the sky. look at the sea. does it never call to you, urge you? ❜

❛ you are fortunate in your love. ❜

❛ now are we neighbors. ❜

❛ it is late. you must wish to retire. ❜

❛ i have been enduring the most irregular dreams. i fear i am taken ill. ❜

❛ it is a black omen to journey in poor health. you will remain and well rest yourself. ❜

❛ dream of me. only me. ❜

❛ oh, he’s coming to me. ❜

❛ i cannot resist you, my love. ❜

❛ i am no one. i am his servant. ❜

❛ look, this is a pretty one. his lordship likes the pretty ones… ❜

❛ you are lost in his shadow. ❜

❛ soon i will no longer be a shadow to you. ❜

❛ soon our flesh shall embrace and we shall be as one. ❜

❛ i have not failed your lordship! ❜

❛ embrace me, my boy. i am so rejoiced to see you. ❜

❛ my dear creature, yes, i am he, and i am hither come to help you. ❜

❛ my dreams grow darker. ❜

❛ does evil come from within us or from beyond? ❜

❛ i shall persist to join you every night… first in sleep, then in your arms. ❜

❛ everything will be mixed with abomination, and you’ll be knee-deep in blood. ❜

❛ you are promised to me! ❜

❛ i will end this plague. this devil. ❜

❛ he hasn’t found you. ❜

❛ i feared i’d never see you again. ❜

❛ you shall crave of me nothing. ❜

❛ the bells of dawn shall toll in despair of my coming. and i shall taste of you. ❜

❛ pray, forgive me for all the troubles i have caused you. ❜

❛ i am only glad you have become yourself again. ❜

❛ may i… stay with you tonight? ❜

❛ this creature is a force more powerful than evil. it is death itself. ❜

❛ i have seen things in this world that would’ve made isaac newton crawl back into his mother’s womb. ❜

❛ i have wrestled with the devil as jacob wrestled the angel in peniel. ❜

❛ if we are to tame darkness, we must first face that it exists. ❜

❛ i have felt you crawling like a serpent in my body. ❜

❛ love is inferior to you. ❜

❛ i told you, you are not of humankind. ❜

❛ i am an appetite. nothing more. ❜

❛ i lay within the darkest pit. till you did wake me, enchantress, and stirred me from my grave. ❜

❛ you are my affliction. ❜

❛ i care nothing of your afflictions. ❜

❛ yet even now we are fated. ❜

❛ your passion is bound to me. ❜

❛ you cannot love. ❜

❛ yet i cannot be sated without you. ❜

❛ remember how once we were? ❜

❛ i abhor you. ❜

❛ i will leave you three nights. tonight was the first. ❜

❛ tonight you denied yourself, and thereby, you suffer me to vanish up the lives of those you love. ❜

❛ you revel in my torture. ❜

❛ upon the third night, you will submit, or he you call your husband shall perish by my hand. ❜

❛ till you bid me come shall you watch the world become as naught. ❜

❛ tell me, what is this insufferable darkness? ❜

❛ nothing you can say will shake me, for there is a devil in this world, and i have met him. ❜

❛ i’ve brought this evil upon us. ❜

❛ i sought company. i sought… tenderness, and i called out. ❜

❛ at first, it was sweet. i had never known such bliss. yet it turned to torture. ❜

❛ it was you that gave me the courage to be free of my shame. ❜

❛ he took me as his lover then, and now he has come back. ❜

❛ all my sleeping thoughts are of him every night. ❜

❛ don’t touch me! i am not to be touched. ❜

❛ i’ll be good. i promise. ❜

❛ you could never please me as he could. ❜

❛ yes! take me! ❜

❛ kiss me. kiss my heart. ❜

❛ let him see. let him see our love. ❜

❛ without you, i will become a demon. ❜

❛ you’re safe with me. ❜

❛ keep away from me. i am unclean. ❜

❛ he will murder you if i do not go to him. ❜

❛ kill him i will. he shall never harm you again. ❜

❛ i can weep no longer, for i have no more tears to shed. ❜

❛ the grim reaper wields his heavy scythe with every change of wind. ❜

❛ the monster left you to the wolves, yet you prevailed. ❜

❛ his pull to me is so powerful, so terrible, yet my spirit cannot be evil as his. ❜

❛ we must know evil to be able to destroy it. ❜

❛ you are our salvation. ❜

❛ i bid you, come to me. ❜

❛ your oath re-pledged. so too shall be our flesh. you are mine. ❜

on this THE pedro pascaI's birthday i am once again thinkin about drusilla x oberyn :)

[amongthevipers]

she followed him further into the room a step or two behind him. adriel could heart that he wasn't happy with the decision being made for him. it hurt her feelings only so much as she had hoped he would feel as relieved that they already knew each other as she did.

"i can imagine this was largely our father's doing." adriel agreed, taking the wine from him. she had heard that he was not interested in marriage, and adriel could understand for the same reasons she made her own resistance known to her parents. she did not mind marriage and a family so long as they did not come between her and her duties to rhaegar. her father had supported her desire to be more than one of the queen's ladies, but he had always insisted that if a match was made for her, she was expected not to argue. "i'll try not to be too nagging a wife," she joked.

he had seen his time away from king's landing as an exile of it's own sort ⸺ non-permanent, but unnecessary. he had shown his disdain towards marriage for as long as he can remember his father's plying words in his ears: the lord of a house needs a lady and an heir of his own, but jon was more than content with his position at rhaegar's side. ❝ yes, ❞ it is spoken with a certain solemnity, leaving his tongue with a sour aftertaste. ❝ it is not an ideal situation, but perhaps . . . it may come to be. ❞ body shifts a handful of paces further into the room, a console set against one of the walls holds a decanter of wine and glasses, and so jon pours two. he carries them to her position, goblet wavering in the air between them for her to take.

❝ there have certainly been worse matches made, ❞ he tries to find some levity as he settles into the plush cushions of a settee, a sigh heaved from his lungs as he rests back. jon holds none of his contempt towards adriel, she had nearly as little say in their position as he had (and he had attempted opposition ⸺ threatened celibacy via a petition to join the kingsguard; he'd've even mentioned the night's watch would that not take him further from the capital).

he had only gone back to griffin's roost for a short time, but it had been long enough for rumors to begin to spread. although adriel was more often than not in the company of rhaegar's king's guard and retinue, she still kept close friendships with the women that kept the queen's company. it was through them than adriel had heard a decision seemed to have been made and that was why jon had gone home. it was a lot to think about, but she'd had time.

when the door opened, adriel rose from where she'd sat she waited illuminated in the amber glow cast about the room by candle light. as soon as she saw there was no one behind him she started speaking. "so it is to be us then?" she knew better than to think she'd serve at rhaegar's side, unmarried for long. her family intended for her to be married when they had sent her here. they wouldn't give up on that. she was just relieved she knew the man. she knew him to be honorable because he was her friend.

Gladiator II (2024)

[amongthevipers]

guys i am sooo normal i made a spreadsheet to count and categorize my muses

i finished my muse audit

i have 227 muses across 6 blogs (obvi with the large majority of those muses here)

@heartsbreaking - 191 muses @amongthevipers - 36 muses @seethewest - 17 muses @toomagic - 12 muses @frosthidden - 1 muse @heroeslogic - 1 muse

she was relieved that he answered the questions so easily. she had heard stories of men concealing the truth about themselves in order to ensure they were married and their wives were not so turned away from them they thought to end the engagement. andrei didn't seem to be that kind of man in any way though.

"i would also like for our children to have siblings. i cannot imagine being an only child. it must have been so lonely." she adored her siblings, they were everything to her. she didn't wish for her children to be lonely when they could have brothers and sisters to keep them company like she had. he seemed well prepared for his role as heir whenever the time came. "do you look forward to being a father? to raising your children as you were?" she was becoming much less nervous as their conversation progressed.

That was reassuring to the knight, even letting him offer a small smile as he sat there with her. This wasn't going to be so bad, it was actually enjoyable getting to know her. "I understand then, just doing it because you like it." He half repeats with a nod, taking a sip from his ale as if contemplating her words. It wasn't that he didn't enjoy what he did, his time with a sword was all he truly knew. What he did know was that dancing wasn't his strong suit, he couldn't say he liked it but if it was necessary then he would do it. But this wasn't just him asking questions, him learning about her, she should know what she wanted of him. Outside of the stories from court, she should know the truth of anything she had in mind.

So when he opened that door for her, he probably should have expected the line of questions that seemed to leave her as if the flood gates had opened. She really had thought on this more than he expected. A chuckle leaves him as he looks down a brief moment at his plate before looking back towards her. "I have no siblings, so I suppose I would want to make sure my own children are not lonely. It would be nice for them to have one another." Not that he entirely has thought about this before, but it made sense to him as he spoke. "As for what I do? I am the heir to Blackcrown, I do what is needed of me. In what time I have free to me, I can be found in the training yard or hunting."

someone else might have been offended on behalf of westerosi culture and the knights presenting at the tourney for them. kat didn't care much though, she was not the one riding. she had asked orri for her opinion and it had been given. she preferred orri's honesty over the kind of falsity so many others offered her.

"what do you mean?" kat asked, questioning her curiously. "do you think these horses are not strong enough?" orri would know, she supposed. they respected their knights here and surely they were good, well trained horses they rode in the tourney, but orri was dothraki. they were famed for their horses so she might even know more than those who worked in the stables here. "this is not really meant to simulate battle, it is more a display to show off."

it would seem that the khaleesi had made a friend of the princess. what started as a misunderstanding on her part seems to have gained her favor with kat. at least enough to be welcome to the keep more oft than not and have a seat at such events. (and now she even has a dress of her own -- after having been pointed in the right direction of fine dresses for the average commoner.) still, she knows not of the culture here and while she her face is clear for all place.

too lost fidgeting with her sleeve (for the fabric was itchy and concealed too much for her liking), she paid little mind to somber speeches for the late king or the reason they are all here, beng a celebration for her friend. all too suddenly, orri is brought from her thoughts as the other touches her wrist. dark gaze flickers between kat, then the men who line up on the field wearing armor and riding horses. ❝ no, foolish. ❞ a disapproving look. ❝ real horse ride to battle. ❞ these horses likely have never seen much outside of tournaments such as this.

daemon's hand guided her's and helped support the weight of his blade in her hand. the warm blood sprayed out at them both, hitting rhaenyra in the face. she stepped back a bit, her back meeting daemon's chest. despite her recoil, she wasn't as disgusted as one might be. she inhaled deeply and exhaled before turning around to face him. in her eyes there was a glint, a spark. she didn't like violence for violence's sake, but this was not that. this was beginning to bleed the animal after a hunt. when she looked up at daemon, saw the blood on his face as well, rhaenyra smiled. "you have blood on your face," she stated voice low as she spoke valyrian only he could hear and understand.
