❛ 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. ❜

My muse is having a nightmare! Send your muse into my askbox to wake them up!

[lionheartedscout]

[ POWER ]: sender unexpectedly uses their powers to push and pin the receiver against the wall.

𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐓 𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒. @brokenmagxc

Gav had suggested a light sparring match, mainly to gauge Arthur's currently skill level while forcing him to get some light exercise. (Tarja had warned him not to push the other too much, but the scout had no reason to worry. Or so he thought.)

They started out with wooden training swords out of fear that a metal blade would do more harm than good. After running through some basic drills, Gav urged Arthur to charge at him to see what he would do. The Bearer was battle-hardened, that much the scout had surmised, but if he could help Arthur hone certain skills, then there was no doubt that he would prove himself beneficial to the protection of the hideaway.

He grossly miscalculated, however, as something had triggered Arthur profusely as to send Gav flying with a burst of aether toward the wall, pinned by an unseen force that knocked the breath from his lungs. There was a brief moment of panic, his green eyes wide as he tried to process what the fuck had just happened.

"I...think we should stop there for today," he managed to say, trying to play off any tension. "Before I get more bruises, like."

[lionheartedscout]

[ HUSH ]: as a means of getting the receiver to stay quiet, the sender covers their mouth and ends up shoving them into a wall in their urgency.

𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐓 𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒. @brokenmagxc

It was meant to be a routine scouting mission, something to help Arthur get oriented with the land while also teaching him basic tracking techniques. Normally, Gav could pick up when something smells off or when something was too close for comfort. However, this time he became too focused on Arthur to notice anything amiss.

His eyes went wide when he was suddenly shoved aside.

"What are you-"

A hand quickly covered his mouth and the scout froze, suddenly sensing the urgency of the action. It was only a little off-putting that Arthur was too close for comfort, but his pushed those discomforts aside as he strained his ears, listening, smelling for anything. The pounding of his heart kept distracting him, his green gaze watching the Bearer closely for any sort of sign.

[lionheartedscout]

[ SHIELD ]:     in order to protect them from physical harm caused by a third party, the sender shoves the receiver against the wall and shields them with their body.

𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐓 𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒. @brokenmagxc

Everything is happening in a blur, relying on reflexes alone as Gav tries to stave off any attackers with his sword alone. He turns and catches a glimpse of someone - or something - charging right at him.

I can't move... I won't make it-

Next thing he knows, he is being shoved to the side, pinned down against the brick wall. Another body places itself before him protectively, and his eyes widen as he recognizes the figure from scent alone.

"Arthur!"

The Bearer takes the blow meant for him.

"What are you doing, you bloody idiot? Get out of here!""

Another attacker tries to blindside them, but Gav is quick with his blade, blocking the blow and kicking them back.

Pirate AU 👀

[lionheartedscout]

Gav nearly panics as he realizes that Arthur became limp in his grasp, the scent of blood heavy in his nostrils, forcing himself to pick up his speed as he navigates further into darkened, blighted cliffs. Thankfully, they arrive without further incident. The lass overlooking the chocobos greets him with relief, but then rushes off to fetch Tarja at the scout's request. Within moments, they settle Arthur into a cot in the little crook they call an infirmary while Tarja asses the wounds. The scent of blood nearly makes Gav's head spin, but he grounds himself, forces himself to focus while the healer directs him to prop up the Bearer and bandage him properly.

"You brought an ironblood in here?"

"I couldn't just leave 'im! I saw it with me own eyes! He was gonna die if I didn't do something..."

In the end, Arthur is expected to recover, forced to stay on bedrest per Tarja's recommendation. Gav, however, hardly leaves the other's side, nearly dozing off while waiting for the other to wake up. He's relieved at first - "Thank the Founder, you're okay!" - moving quickly to urge Arthur to not move too fast lest he reopens his wounds. The sudden reaction against him comes as a surprise - next thing he knows, he is pulled into the Bearer's lap and he stares up into wide, delirious eyes.

"Arthur, it's me! Gav!"

A moment passes as realization sinks in, not without Tarja rushing in to see what the fuss is about.

"You two better not be tusslin' in my infirmary."

Gav sheepishly laughs as he composes himself. "You're safe now, Arthur," he replies. "You're in the infirmary in the Hideaway. This is Tarja, our physicker. It's her you should thank for savin' your life."

The woman nods in greeting. "Simply doing what I can. Your wounds were deep but non-lethal. You will recover with time and plenty of bedrest."

kindness coils around shaky legs, lifting him onto the other's back where the weight of his body collapses against the man. arms loosely fall over shoulders, his heaving breath fanning across skin and hair. the blood from his side dripped onto cleaner cloth until they were both sticky and trapped in the deep red's viscous syrup. they move swiftly and he groans. gav's grip on him is tight, sturdy, but arthur quickly finds himself holding the scout nonetheless, desperately squeezing for stability as he found adrenaline and anxiety waning from fading consciousness. the farther they get, away from noise and danger, the harder it becomes to focus. soon, the grip is loosened. color fades as they run, the bright sandy grounds becoming dull, desaturated, until eyes flutter shut and the world drowns into blackness.

yet, when he comes to, the dust in his lungs exhales in sudden gasp. the sheets are cold, the room with light flitting from open window. the tightness of his side has his breath seizing, hands moving to find white bandage across a barren torso, strapped tight under nick and scar. shuffling is heard before bleary eyes try to blink sanity back into frame. a gloved hand reaches and he flinches, finding sudden strength where a wrist is grabbed. brown eyes blow wide, flood in ancient golds where aether gathers, struggling to find purchase in his body. a light rustle, rumbling of impeding disaster. lips part in ragged sigh — he moves to rapidly sit up, cursing under breath when it sets his body aflame in pain. it isn't until he tugs the arm forward, man falling into lap, that he realizes gav was staring at him, wide-eyed and unprepared for such violence.

“ uh — oh, shit. ” arthur swallows, throat dry, and releases the other, pulling himself away. a bashful feebleness falls onto pinched features, golden eyes dying to shy muted browns. “ fuck man, i — i am sorry about that. ” the lack of composure embarrasses him. he breathes, avoiding eye contact until his gaze falls onto a woman he didn't recognize. it then hits him that he didn't recognize anything about this strange room and strange bed and strange people. “ where — where am i ?? ”

// Just a test! Reblog it if my muse can jump in your askbox without annoying the mun!

[lionheartedscout]

Again, Gav is rendered speechless, his inability to meet Arthur's gaze betraying his flustered state. Any attempt to speak merely results in short bursts of laughter as he sheepishly rubs the back of his neck. He can't help but mutter a curse under his breath, a habit he picked up from the more seasoned members of the Hideaway.

He forces himself to turn his green gaze back toward the Bearer. Is this what Cid felt when many started flocking to his banner? How is he to respond to such a declaration of loyalty and camaraderie?

"I did say I would give you a reason, didn't I?" A smile touches his lips as he balls one of his hands into a fist and gently taps it against Arthur's shoulder. "I'm glad I've earned your trust, like," he manages to say. "You didn't have to stay, nor did anyone force you to...but I am happy that you're still with us. To be honest, I don't know what lies ahead of us." He purses his lips slightly in thought. "But I'll watch your back as long as you watch mine."

anxieties are not often swatted by lithe hand, swept from the air in simple gesture. but here he was, waving away the other's tension with a small laugh. lips pull into a wide smile ; he grins and nods his head for the man is sweet and runs warm in such a way that such bashfulness reminds arthur of what it means to be alive. bring discomfort, push a boundary and fall in bliss for the wall that forms between them would surely crumble in admiration and contentedness.

a hum follows. he does not tell the scout that he has only ever been a weapon and it was difficult to think of what more could come from him. “ forgive me, i did not mean to rile you. ” the bearer is well-mannered and perhaps that speaks to a strict upbringing — he lowers his head in apology, though his smirk does not break. “ i know we journey together, face obstacles and trials as one, equal if you so confidently say. i mean to give you myself out of respect, for you earn but my highest regards, do you not ?? ” brunette hair shakes as he nods again, sure of himself and his word. “ it is one thing to invite me to your cause, allow me to live and serve for reason. it is another thing to accept me as your friend. and in a world with so few — i just wanted you to know that my trust in you is unending ; and if you needed, i would be prepared. ”

[lionheartedscout]

What colour do you associate with my muse? What colour do they remind you/your muse of?

[lionheartedscout]

Cue Gav chugging his ale. Clearly, it's been a long day.
