@9tailedheart asked: ❝i’m fine. you’re the one who got stabbed.❞ from the six of crows meme

❝ yeah and as you can see it's nearly healed over already. besides, i know how i am. ❞ many considered leah heartless, while that couldn't be further from the truth. everything that she felt other than anger often went unnoticed by everyone around her, largely in part due to her covering it up with scathing comments and sarcastic remarks. if something had happened to rebekah when she got involved, it would be the second time someone had gotten hurt in the crossfire of leah's rash and careless decisions. it was something leah couldn't handle. she already had her own father's blood on her hands.

❝ just trying to be nice. but i get it, nobody around here would believe it if you told them that. ❞

@tobeblamed asked: ❝how long was i out?❞ from the six of crows meme

❝four hours, give or take. i figured you could use the rest, especially when you didn't even flinch when i used the marker on your face or painted your nails... or drug you in here from my car.❞ she was joking, despite what her deadpan tone might have suggested. he had been out for a few hours, but she'd left him be other than occasionally honing in on his vitals every so often, not wanting a dead hunter on her hands. her time had been occupied mostly by cleaning some of her weapons and prepping some food. brown eyes finally pulled away from the screen of her cellphone to meet dean's.

❝want some water or coffee? i'm not sure what those things dosed you with, so i'd keep away from beer for a few more hours.❞ she still wasn't sure what the monsters were, but leah had found that decapitation and body burning was usually a reliable method.

@hcpemikaelscn asked: ❝it’s almost midnight.❞ from the six of crows meme

the concept of time as it pertained to regular human life had been lost on leah long ago. honestly, probably back when sam had been missing for those two weeks. now pack business primarily determined when it was possible for leah to get shut eye, but she really couldn't say when she'd gotten more than a few hours at a time since her initial phasing. for the most part it hadn't seemed to matter much, or at the very least, leah rarely felt the heavy dread that accompanied exhaustion. perhaps she was too well-acquainted with misery to really experience it further than her day to day.

a scoff followed after hope's words, accompanied by a glint of amusement in leah's eyes that didn't quite reach the corners of her lips and a tone bordering on mocking. ❝ what? you have a curfew or something? ❞

@brightwolf​ asked:  (     forehead     )  :          for     sender     to     gently     kiss     receiver     on     the     forehead   from the action starters meme

            it took a while for leah to recall a nice dream she’d had in the time since sam had first went missing for those two weeks, but nightmares seemed to plague her nights for most days of the week since she’d found out the truth about everything. mostly about her dad and how she hadn’t been able to reach out to help him, left only with the grey paws that she only considered a curse. that or losing her mom or seth too as she felt they were the only two people left in her life. everyone else she pushed out of her life and her heart, or at least she was trying very hard to do so. 

        she thought she’d been in the clear for anyone knowing about the one tonight, despite waking up with her throat feeling a bit raw and the fact that her brother would definitely be able to hear her pounding heartbeat from his room down the hall. however, her hopes for the secrecy of her lack of sleep since all of this happened were crushed when she felt her mattress shift followed by a kiss to her forehead. leah rubbed at her eyes for a moment before opening them, hoping the glisten of tears wasn’t too apparent in the darkness. 

       brown hues focused on her brother’s briefly before turning toward the ceiling.  ❝ i’m so sorry, seth. ❞  the words came out as barely a breath, something even a shifter would have to strain to hear. regret at the idea of being vulnerable sunk in immediately, so she followed up the words with something louder and more intentional.   ❝ you’re a a soft, squishy dork, you know that? ❞

@warmbloodcd​ asked:  “When’s the last time you ate?” from the rough around the edges meme

                 ❝ i’m fine. ya know the appetite is pretty hard to keep up with the stench. ❞ while she had caved a few times and eaten food cooked by esme and she wouldn’t deny that the matriarch vampire really knew how to cook despite not eating any food herself for decades. slyly, she avoided fully answering the question, because it probably wasn’t for the best considering the shifter metabolism. ❝ why don’t we go do something? anything? i’ve been feeling rather cooped up lately. ❞

[sherunsfastermoved]

@brightwolf​ asked:  "Hey, uh, Leah... Do you want a cinnamon roll? I got extra in case you wanted any so..." unprompted forever ago; i am trash

        her brother was her only soft spot these days. not that it meant that she wouldn’t snap at him, but that was driven by her protective instincts and her guilt over the fact that he had to grow up so fast... that she’d taken their father from them and maybe even triggered his phasing earlier than it should have been.  ❝ no thanks, i’m alright. ❞ her lips turned up at the corners in the very slightest, nearly unnoticeable. a twitch of the lips was what would constitute as a leah clearwater smile in the last year.  ❝ but i suggest eating it before one of the guys’ noses picks up on the scent from across the rez. ❞

@roshale​ asked:  ❛  i’ve  had  a  rough  year ,   leah .  ❜ from the soft angst starters

            she didn’t know a lot about the blonde, but the little she did find out about from jake made her soften a little to her. not enough to not give him blonde joke suggestions, but she would have gladly joined in on making fun of jake as well so that didn’t say too much. her time in jake’s pack had softened her to the cullens as a whole, because she was finally given some space to come to terms with everything that had happened. a new perspective to realize she was placing too much blame on the vampires -- not that she was about to admit any of that. her brother could keep the title of the vampire sympathizer.  ❝  i don’t doubt it. somehow the entire vampire population decided bella swan was someone to go nuts over... happy to fuck up everyone’s lives that touched hers. ❞

@soulsbreathed​ asked:  ’ it only hurts when i breathe. ’  from the next to normal meme

            ❝ right, ‘cause that’s definitely not an issue or something you do over ten times per minute. ❞ without another word, she grabbed a gel icepack and gingerly placed it on his chest. realistically, it probably wouldn’t hurt for much longer, but no sense for him to be in pain in the meantime.  ❝ maybe stretch some next time before you go all rocky training montage. ❞

[sherunsfastermoved]

@neverhurt​ asked:  ❛  i’ve  been  spaced  out  all  day .  ❜  from the royal tenenbaums meme

             when she hadn’t heard from her all day, leah’d gotten worried. sneaking to check on her wasn’t the best idea but leah hadn’t really had a choice, had she? she had a few hours before she needed to be on shift and it wouldn’t be a peaceful night with all of the thoughts that she knew would be swirling around in her mind. ❝  is there something on your mind? that you want to talk about? ❞ in leah’s experience, talking about it hadn’t helped, but she’d also always held everything in until she snapped on the other members of the pack, her mother, really anyone that had the misfortune of being in her path in the moment.  ❝  i’m always ready to listen. ❞

[sherunsfastermoved]

@hi-im-cas​ asked:  “You’re right, I don’t understand, yet. Will you help me?” from the noticing trauma sentence starters

        ❝ i can’t talk about my dad, okay? i can’t. ❞ she understood that her dad hadn’t taken the best care of himself and that he had a weak heart, but that never really lessened her feelings of guilt. of course, she had no control over phasing that night, but that didn’t stop her from replaying their last conversation over and over again in her mind. her dad had always tried to be on her side for everything, even when she was skipping school looking for sam even though he knew where he was or she was talking about how worried she was about sam’s strange behavior and he knew why he was behaving that way. yet, that night, he had merely suggested that there was more to the story about emily than she saw and she had snapped.

           ❝ i'm the reason he’s gone. ❞

@bcbliophile​ asked: [reunion] from the shining armor prompts

         her eyes roamed galinda for a few moments. she was still in shock that the woman was before her once more, despite the fact that they were now far removed from danger and sitting in a bar waiting for some food. they hadn’t seen each other in months and yet she had somehow managed to swoop in and save leah from danger seemingly out of nowhere. before she was caught staring, she returned her gaze to the glass in front of her before speaking.  ❝ i still -- can’t believe you’re here. back for a couple of minutes and already having to save me... impeccable timing, huh? ❞

[sherunsfastermoved]

@bcbliophile​ asked:  “ were you preoccupied, or did you just really want a dramatic heroic entrance before you saved my ass? “ from the shining armor meme

         ❝ come on if we were both forced to make appearances at that party, we at least had to get some drama happening before we swiftly made our exit. ❞ she wouldn’t lie that she was quite satisfied that she got to be the one that showed up fashionably late with an exaggerated and dramatic reason of why the two of them needed to leave. now that it was all over, they could get on to more important things, like getting takeout and letting the alcohol flow between the two of them to spend time alone complaining about everyone they had ever met.  ❝ don’t act like you didn’t have a bit of fun too. i could fabricate something else to drop you back off, if that sounds more appealing. ❞

[sherunsfastermoved]

@siphoncursed​ asked:  “ it’s okay. i got this. ” from the intense vibes meme

             ❝ getting cocky when you’re wrapped up in all of this might not only get you killed, but could get any number of the idiots around you hurt or killed too. ❞ one slip up and anyone could think it was their duty to jump in the middle of it out of misguided protective instincts, that was a lesson that leah had learned the hard way.  ❝ let me help, then you at least have two brains going in on it. and i have brawn to spare if we need it. ❞

[sherunsfastermoved]

@mischiefxmanagcd​ asked:  "hi, you must be my wife!" for leah and jake to be placed together on witness protection as each others spouses

                ❝ i think the part of you that had the hots for me when we were kids is enjoying this a little too much, darling. ❞ she really didn’t know how much she trusted these people to protect them from ancient vampires, but she knew if they were spread out they couldn’t come for the entire wolf pack at the same time. at least they were in pairs, so they could help rip a few apart if they were found, but she wasn’t happy that seth wasn’t with them. playing the part wouldn’t be too difficult... and she supposed she could be fake married to someone worse than jake -- but she wasn’t about to let him know that.

               ❝ anyway, what do you want for dinner? we have to have something filling since we start our new jobs tomorrow. ❞

[sherunsfastermoved]

@hi-im-cas​ asked:  “  you fucked it up.  ” from the confrontations meme

       ❝ i know i did. but in my defense i have never claimed to be well adjusted. ❞ she couldn’t explain why she still had that instinct to push everyone away, but the alarms always rang loud whenever she realized how much she cared about him. maybe the visit back to la push had brought back some old feelings, she wasn’t sure. she loved cas, but a large part of her decided that he deserved better and another part of her knew better than to trust that she could be happy and love someone again.  ❝ i -- maybe we don’t fit. an angel and a spirit walker? sounds like the start to a terrible joke. ❞

[sherunsfastermoved]

@serpentnest​ asked:  "You’re not alone anymore." from a 911 meme

           ❝ No, I’m not... But what I want is for you to be happy... and you honestly deserve someone so much better than me. ❞ All of her pain hurt a lot less, but the imprint wasn’t something that fixed it all like Jacob had once preached about. She should have known that, from the glances that Sam had once given her... but a part of her had grown a little hopeful. Maybe it was because wanting the best for Liana meant that she could see that she might not be able to make her happy, even with her devotion.  ❝ You put the pieces of me back together, but the cracks are still there. Are you sure you’re... happy with me? ❞
