@ baby anya-

"Dear child, who is Prince Maverick to you?"

Anya shies away from the stranger but answers nonetheless.

“He saved me,” she says. “Now he keeps me safe.”

“Yeah, about that…”

“I, um… might have… had something to, uh… do with that…”

“Don’t you dare.”

“Oh, no. I know that look. I know what that look means. Absolutely not.”

“Can you stop being weird about it for five seconds?”

“Why is the plural of moose still moose? Why not meese?”

“I almost caught myself on fire…”

“Bite me.”

“Hey! Guess what!”

“There’s nothing to worry about, but I’d stay out of the kitchen for a while.”

“Big deal - I bet I could do that with [my hands/one hand tied behind my back/blindfolded/in x amount of time/backwards].”

“I might’ve befriended a mafia boss…”

“You know what I want right now? [Sender’s favorite food].”

“Touch that and I will hit you with a spoon.”

“Do I actually want to know or will I be better off not knowing? Because I feel like I’ll be better off not knowing.”

“Do you think snails have feelings?”

“Why is Christmas such a big deal? Is it because of capitalism?”

“Have you ever had a wish come true by throwing a coin into a fountain?”

“Can I kiss you?”

“Check please!”

“Hey. What’s going on with you and [name]?”

“You know… I think I should… go.”

“Nope, sorry, you’re not getting rid of me that easily.”

“Wait. Did I say left? Heh, I meant to say right.”

“Yeah, of course I speak another language! …It just might not come in handy unless we go to a Star Trek convention…”

“Look, I know I said I could handle a lot of things, but that is not one of them.”

“Well, we have six minutes until we need to leave! …Never mind, make that four minutes. Actually, we should just leave now.”

“…Want some smoothie?”

“I’ve never felt this way before…”

“I bet I could fight a swarm of bees.”

“Have you ever gotten a stuffed animal from a claw machine?”

“Uh… surprise?”

“Sure, I can do a magic trick. I’ll make that whole tub of ice-cream disappear in ten minutes.”

“Why is it the cake that’s a lie? Why isn’t it the pie?”

“What would you do if you had a million dollars right now?”

“No, no. When I said kids, I meant kids as in goat babies. Not human babies.”

“The only thing straight about me are my grades from [middle school].”

“Yeah, I’ve been to [place]. Once. It was… the worst.”

“Don’t be ridiculous - of course you need me. Who else is going to annoy you?”

“I miss you.”

“Look, I know you probably don’t want to see me right now, but… I had nowhere else to go.”

“What are you going off about?”

“Of course you’re my hero! How could you not be?”

“Would you rather have a pet shark or a pet whale?”

“Oh, yeah? Try me.”

“Oh, wow… You… you look absolutely stunning…”

“Hypothetically speaking… what if I got a [puppy/kitten]?”

“Come on, talk to me. What’s going on? Was it something I did?”

“I’ll pay you ten bucks to fight me.”

“Congratulations! You played both of us.”

i feel so left out. like everyone around me knows how to be a human and i don’t.

[monsterxmade]

Anya gives a few slow nods but the stars do so little to calm the anxiety that so often sets in when she is alone. It is easier to convince herself that she is safe when he is right here beside her, harder to forget that she might even be loved when she feels the evidence of it in the caress across her cheek, but when she is by herself…how can she be so sure of anything?

“I’d rather have you, though,” she says. “I’d rather go with you.”

Maverick’s smile faltered for a breath, the weight of her words tightening around his heart like a noose. He reached out, cupping her face in his gloved hand, thumb tracing the curve of her cheek with the same tenderness he used when calming a spooked horse.

"I won’t be gone long," he promised, voice a soft murmur meant only for her. "And you won’t be alone. The stars will keep you company—and I’ve taught you how to listen to them, haven’t I?"

i need you to stay strong for me.

The bullet wound hurt like a bitch, metal tearing through fragile flesh with a sensation like fire upon her skin, but it wasn’t going to kill her. Anya refused to die so easily. Anya refused to die. One of these days, she was going to free herself from all of this and she certainly wasn’t going out before she even got the chance to truly live.

Luckily, she knew, Theo’s apartment wasn’t far and surely, he’d have supplies with which she could patch herself up. Pressing the wadded up fabric of her jacket against the wound, she had made her way there and now, she reclined on his couch dreading what came next.

“Don’t give me all that sentimental bullshit, Theo,” she half-groans. “This isn’t my first rodeo. Just fucking do it already.”

[monsterxmade]

"i'm only going to slow you down. it's not worth it."

( @halfaghst )

Anya’s head is quick to whip backwards, sending a ponytail of red curls flying. Her hand grasps onto his wrist with an iron grip. The amber of her eyes burns into him, hardened by a familiar anticipation. Hardened by a need to be something other than the little girl Danny was used to seeing.

“Fuck that,” she says and there is no room for argument in her voice, somehow still soft and child-like but also sharp and commanding. “I’m not leaving you behind so either you keep up or we stay and face this together. Your choice.”

[monsterxmade]

Anya’s expression softens, her stance relaxing, but she so clearly remains wary. Most people aren’t this kid. Most either ignore her entirely or attempt to chase her off before she can steal what she needs from their stores or hell, even their dumpsters. Some even try to steal from her, to displace her from what shelters she can find, or to take advantage of a child with no one to protect her though they do quickly learn how well she can protect herself. Like the one Lucas had found her with.

How is she meant to trust him? Why would he even want to help her when people so seldom did?

“What do you want?” she asks, eyes narrowing. “I don’t have money. I don’t have anything.”

"Okay." He puts his hands out in a sort of surrender. "We don't need to call anyone. But I can get you some food and you can get some fresh clothes. Or just wash yours up." He tries instead. "No one would know, and you'd be out of there before you know it."

[monsterxmade]

The small form of a child circles around him, amber eyes brimming with tears. Her hands wring in front of her belly, heat flushing her cheeks.

“I had another nightmare.”

open

The fire crackled low in the hearth as Maverick sat cross-legged on the floor, a half-finished book in his lap and a cup of untouched tea growing cold beside him. His cloak was draped loosely around his shoulders, green velvet fraying at the edges. For once, the weight of war and heritage didn’t sit so heavily on his spine. He barely glanced up when footsteps echoed behind him, voice low as he spoke: “didn’t think anyone else would be awake at this hour.”

A mischievous grin spreads wide across the woman’s face as she reaches out to pull the cover off the stroller revealing the sight of the beagle - complete with a baby’s hat and a plastic rattle in his mouth.

“Stopped at three stores and no bonnets but I improvised. Only the best for our baby, right, honey?”

@monsterxmade / manny

"did you actually bring louie here to see me?" he's impressed by the sight of the stroller, but also amused that anya would go to such lengths to bring his dear dog to him while he's stuck here in the hospital.
