i. AYAMA AND THE THORN WOOD.
‘ love speaks in flowers. truth requires thorns. ’
‘ we all know the story of how the queen becomes a queen. ’
‘ we should leave this place. ’
‘ no doubt it will come and devour us all. ’
‘ the beast will laugh you right out of the wild lands. ’
‘ you know how the stories go. interesting things happen only to pretty girls. ’
‘ is the wood much worse than a garden overgrown with pricklers ? ’
‘ stupid girl ! do you wish to become a monster ? ’
‘ strike me. cleave me in two. ’
‘ you’re as thorny as the wood. ’
‘ there is but one rule in my wood. speak truth. ’
‘ perhaps you might show mercy freely. ’
‘ just eat a bit of the sun to fill the sky, and you will feel empty no longer. ’
‘ what nonsense ! of course that’s not how the story ends. ’
‘ some people are born with a piece of night inside, and that hollow place can never be filled. ’
‘ what do i care for winter ? no season touches this wood. ’
‘ you know the only bargain i will make. ’
‘ sometimes the unseen is not to be feared and those that are meant to love us most are not always the ones that do. ’
‘ bad fates do not always follow those that deserve them. ’
‘ no prince is worth your life. ’
‘ are you so eager to be eaten ? ’
‘ they have told me to return with your heart. ’
‘ you think to love a monster ? ’
‘ a man like you is owed no words. ’
ii. THE TOO CLEVER FOX.
‘ you are doomed to a miserable life. ’
‘ better to be hungry now than to be sorry later. ’
‘ what will everyone say when they see such a face ? ’
‘ we have not gone so soft as that. ’
‘ you think that we will let you live on foolish promises ? ’
‘ you have bested me. that much is clear. ’
‘ will you not free me ? ’
‘ you will have a fine time of it, i can tell you. ’
‘ i can bear ugliness. i find the one thing i cannot live with is death. ’
‘ if you will only cease your talking, i will gladly go. ’
‘ where he went, he bled the woods dry. ’
‘ what’s a bit more blood ? ’
‘ you should leave this place. you are not safe here. ’
‘ with such big eyes, i think you see too much. ’
‘ will you not tell me what troubles you ? ’
‘ why do you stay with him ? you’re pretty enough to catch a husband. ’
‘ just because you escape one trap, doesn’t mean you will escape the next. ’
‘ first i must find my courage. ’
‘ few can resist the sight of a pretty girl crying. ’
‘ the trap is loneliness, and no one escapes it. not even me. ’
‘ in the wood, even songbirds must be survivors. ’
iii. THE WITCH OF DUVA.
‘ there was a time when the wood ate girls. ’
‘ be back before dark. the trees are hungry tonight. ’
‘ who can say what shapes an appetite ? ’
‘ this is my home, you can’t just send me away. ’
‘ don’t be foolish. there’s plenty of light. ’
‘ well then, come help me stir the pot. ’
‘ i will warn you just this once. go. ’
‘ you cannot come and go from this place like you’re fetching water from a�� well. ’

‘ believe me. say you believe me. ’

‘ it is dangerous to travel the northern road with a troubled heart. ’
‘ if you are lost in your own thoughts, you may find yourself stepping off the path and into the dark woods. ’
‘ she was beautiful from the moment of her birth. ’
‘ why must i be the one to hide ? ’
‘ do you think i am so foolish or so cruel ? ’
‘ water only wants direction. it wants to be told what to do. ’
‘ always you have done my bidding, but what good are you to me now ? ’
‘ soon i will be very rich, but will i have a good man ? ’
‘ that is a question for the river. ’
‘ your tongue is not fit for my true name. ’
‘ will you come with me, and be bride to nothing but the shore ? ’
‘ she was terrifying in her beauty, bright like a devouring star. ’
‘ remember that to use a thing is not to own it. ’
‘ should you ever take a bride, listen closely to her questions. ’
v. THE SOLDIER PRINCE.
‘ this is the problem with even lesser demons. they come to your door in velvet coats and polished shoes. ’
‘ you will find great love and more gold than you could wish for. ’
‘ he’s a charming fellow, but most unusual, and peculiarities seem to follow him. ’
’ it seemed harmless at the time. ’
‘ he needed a girl, still malleable, one that he could make admire him. ’
‘ this is pleasant. this is enough. ’
‘ are you my soldier ? are you my prince ? ’
‘ i have not come to fight, only to talk. ’
‘ wanting is why people get up in the morning. it gives them something to dream of at night. ’
‘ i am perfectly real. ’
‘ she loves you, though, and that will make it harder. ’
‘ best not to ask. i think the answer would please no one. ’
‘ we can stay forever in the land of dreams. ’
‘ kiss me. take me from this place. ’
‘ i sent you to die a hundred times. ’
‘ i eat the wonder in their eyes. ’
‘ you were an idea in my head. you were nothing, and to nothing you will return when i think of you no more. ’
‘ you wanted only that i might live. you would sacrifice your own life to make it so. ’
‘ are you my darling ? are you mine ? ’
vi. WHEN WATER SANG FIRE.
‘ you wish to strike a bargain. ’
‘ make me someone new. ’
‘ this is the problem with making a thing forbidden. it does nothing but build an ache in the heart. ’
‘ easy magic is pretty. great magic requires that you trouble the waters. ’
‘ no one expects me to accomplish anything. ’
‘ i can smell your ambition like blood in the water.’
‘ i know that you should keep it like a secret, not shout it like a curse. ’
‘ yes. i can imagine it all. ’
‘ you are worth more than that. you should not have to earn him. ’
‘ hope rises like water trapped beneath a dam, higher and higher, in increments that mean nothing until you face the flood. ’
‘ there is no pain like the pain of transformation. ’
‘ take your pleasures as you will. ’
‘ come, and i’ll tell you all you wish to know. ’
‘ he made me dream of things i cannot have. ’
‘ i do not care for dancing. ’
‘ look into the mirror, and try to deny it. ’

A. patroclus
YOU ARE PATROCLUS , from the iliad by homer , doomed by fate to be stuck in a love story that has no place on the battlefield . although you always have the best intentions , you have to realize you cannot save everyone . your unwavering loyalty means you often lose yourself in the process of putting others first . take a deep breath , remember who you are , and that you are deserving of the same love you try to put out . you are kind , you are strong , and you give and you give but it is never enough to protect those you love . in the end , it's not even enough to protect yourself .
#( headcanon : * tony stark )#SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!! SHUT UP SHUT U P S H UttTT!!!!#NOT PATROCLUS NOT THE ILIAD NOT THIS DAMN ASS ENTRY IM GONNA#EAT MY WHOLE FIST#this came for my entire life this is my villain origin story#im doing this for din too hold on#feel free to steal this yall im gonna mclose it

@thedashing : "Ah! Man of iron, you are a sight for sore eyes as always" ;)
“ you flatter me . really . ” BROW QUIRKS UPWARD FROM BEHIND SUNGLASSES’ FRAME , their tinted shade disguising the way tony’s gaze flickers along the outskirts of his figure . although their shared moments together had always been brief in nature , tony could recognize that impish grin anywhere . he decidedly hums in thought , and the index finger rubbing circles along the slope of his chin emphasizes the point . “ lemme guess : you got kicked out of gods-ville again by the big guy with the hammer ? . . . hm ? how’d i do ? no wait , don’t tell me , i already know i’m right . ”
#thedashing#( interactions : * tony stark )#tony. being absolutely wrong: im right#SHKGFFDKHGFDKGHFDGKHFDG#i think about their potential shenanigans so much#i just love these two buffoons#have fandral try to smooth talk the smooth talker >:)#the chaotic adhd gemini energy tony radiates is hard to beat tho im js#anyways ily <33333 i tempt u to write :)

@thedashing : flirty eyebrows @ luke
“ fandral , ” THE HURRIED RUSH OF HIS NAME FALLS QUIETLY FROM HIS LIPS , the slight curl at either end denoting his amusement despite the scolding tone he adopts for the charming man before him . gaze softens , if for a brief moment , before seeking the pages of the ancient jedi text once more . the pages crinkle beneath his gentle touch , and luke chuckles softly despite himself . “ are you even listening ? ”
#thedashing#( interactions : * luke skywalker )#these absolute flirty idiots#fandral out here being the biggest flirt and luke's shy ass is trying to play it off#luke vc this is important to me stop flirting listen to THESE STORIES#bc luke is a big giant N E R D about this stuff ok#and since they are rebuilding the temple#fandral is just gonna have to hear about all of it !!!!#luke explaining all his finds like an excited puppy :D

@xenovair : “ uh , me . actually , i shot the first pilot , he shot the second pilot accidentally . it’s just … one of those things . ” for han !
KNIGHT AND DAY SENTENCE PROMPTS . accepting .
“ just one of those things . ” HE MIRRORS HER WORDS WITH PRACTICED INCREDULITY , brows shooting upwards in surprise at her rather calm explanation . han twists himself back in the pilot’s seat , one hand adjusting the headpiece more securely over his ears and the other resting on the juncture of his hip . “ that’s just great , really ! let’s not make me a third , alright ? i’m just tryin’ to get us outta here in one piece . ”
#xenovair#( interactions : * han solo )#han is way too sassy i want to fight him#sierra shoot him and make him the third thanks#DSKHGDHGFDKGHFDKHG
