turning into a werewolf howling throat sore from screaming ripping my shirt apart eating my hand

kicking my feet thinking about how ghost adores your little crush on him – finds it cute how you think it’s not obvious :((

the way he has to bite down a smile when you bring a hand up and ask to compare hand sizes with him. he holds it up anyway and watches the way your eyes gloss over at the size difference, your tongue poking out to swipe at your lips.

the way he stops himself from taking you in his arms whenever you drop by with baskets of sweets. he’s not even particularly a sweets guy but for you? got him changing his whole palate and all. sometimes he loves teasing you – he really can’t help it, with you acting so cutely – by bending down and tugging at his balaclava enough that his lips are showing, and silently demanding that you feed him. the attention he gives you always makes you glow and who is ghost to stop that? he loves seeing you sparkle, especially because of him.

the way he keeps a couple of hoodies and sweaters in his trunk because you always seemed to strategically forget your jacket when you’re out with him which ends up having him offering up his own to keep you warm. thing is, he loves your pretty conniving mind. loves that he doesn’t have to find an excuse to see you in his clothes because you present yourself to him, all wrapped up with a pretty devilish smile and a sharp glint in your eyes.

yeah, you truly are so adorable in the way you desire him. adorable in the way you think he doesn’t know. don’t worry, he’ll reward you soon.

one of the most notable things about shepard is her ability to be a force of nature all on her own. whether that be to take down a a seemingly insurmountable threat or stop someone she cares for from making a mistake, there was nothing that could get in her way for long. and she knows that she can be clumsy when it comes to something far more personal, deeper. shepard is far from perfect and certainly no saint, but she has faith in what her experiences has taught her. there is hope that her words could reach through a swirling storm, no matter how violent it is.

so when she feels his face against her shoulder, embrace returned, she knows that they got through the wall of sorrow that threatened to drown him alive and can finally breathe her own sigh of relief.

shepard makes no other movement besides holding him a little tighter. times of peace were rare and far between back home and even with this strange phenomenon going on, there is no danger. right here and now, it was just them– that grey world around them forgotten entirely.

" We're a team, Garrus. No matter where we are, no matter what happens, that won't change. " she speaks as if it were a fact, pulling back just enough to rest her forehead against his, her eyes meeting his without hesitation. lips pulled into a lopsided grin as one hand rises to curve against the scars that have long since healed over. firm, present, there. another silent reminder that the pain of the future has yet to pass.

" There's no Shepard without Vakarian, got it?"

A SILENCE RUSHES INTO THE EMPTY SPACES between them, and for a moment, they're parted by it. he's never been very good at being vulnerable, speaking to his feelings and "letting it all out", that sort of thing. whatever's going on, it's unearthing his deepest regrets and darkest fears, whether he liked it or not. all of that sentimental crap, the he usually saves for a rainy day was spilling out, and some of the things it forced to the surface surprised even him.

i just didn't think i'd lose you too.

it probably sounds pathetic, to mourn something that, for him, hadn't even happened yet; to grieve for somebody who's right here beside him. the mere prospect of it ever happening, the fact it could and probably did for her... that's what sits uncomfortably in his chest. it all seems... insane, the misalignment of their memories... his head was dancing circles around him, and now he just feels sick.

amidst that storm clouding his thoughts, she flows in like a soothing wave. her body fits flush against his, like a missing puzzle piece, and it takes her warmth swathing him, fighting away the cold, before he fully realises her embrace. a hand settles gingerly upon her arm, and he doesn't know what to do at first, nor how best to answer the gesture. her red bleeds slowly into his blue, like a blot of ink falling into the ocean, mixing together into something new. it... calms him down, tells him everything will be okay.

a potent relief surges through him, and garrus lowers his head to her shoulder, gathering her into his arms tightly. that's all it takes.

after all this time, fighting alongside her and the normandy's crew... he can't imagine the galaxy without them, or without her.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH I DONT WANT TO DO MY HOMEWRKRKRK

[sparksnevadas]

Oh my god I’m so normal about this chapter Sparks I am soooooooooooo normal. Incredibly normal. Oh my god. Look at me I’m so normal. The way you used the flashbacks to slip back and forth between them talking about their plan and what really happened was SO good it’s one of my favorite things in writing. AUGH.

And also just. KERALIS! DOC! AUGH. Their powers are so COOL and I love them so much. You got their voices so well. Keralis is such a Guy. The SHADOWS are so COOL augh. And the METAL form Doc augh yes yes yes. They are so. You got em in one.

Also I have to say it again, so sorry, but why is Scar holding Doc hot what did you put in the water dearest SparksNevadas.

And then Mumbo and Grian having to remember to use their code names over their real names is so. The way Grian almost slips up. The way him and Mumbo work to get back to Scar but Mumbo is more worried about Grian in the moment. They make me WEAK. GOD.

Keralis calling Grian chicken nugget is absolutely sending me. Fyi. Oh my god that’s so funny. I love your keralis so much. And Doc being Ducky I just. Keralisisms give me life and you write them SO well.

And the way everyone goes back to their weird semi-friendly but only sort of rivalry they have when Grian passes out is so interesting to me. The dynamic is everything. The fact that Doc is more worried about the party being ruined than anything. AUGH.

Scar calling Doc ‘Doctor Hothead’ is ALSO hilarious im. Head in hands its just so funny.  Especially considering he’s trying to negotiate an alliance I think it really speaks to Scar’s charm as a person that he gets away with that nickname in this scene tbh. I just. It’s so cool to see Scar be so in control and then to lose that control when Keralis revealed that little scrap of paper. THEY’RE BROTHERS. AUGH. CUB. AUGH. AND THE FACT THAT RENS THERE TOO WHAT IF I JUST FLOATED DOWN A RIVER AUUUUUUUUGH! AND MUMBO DOESN’T GET WHY THE BROTHER THING IS SUCH A BIG DEAL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH WHAT IF I SCREAMED!!!! ITS!!!! THE WAY YOU WRITE IT IS SO GOOD I LOVE IT SO MUCH

The description of Scar’s office is fascinating too – it paints such a picture of him as a character. How he has all the stuff about him and mayor but then he has those two honest photos of cub on the wall its. He’s painting a certain picture of himself but then also like, displaying this honest relationship he has w cub as his brother im. AUGH. AGONY.

AND THEN THE SCARIAN KISS. The way it happened. The way Grian just basically said fuck it and went for it im. THEY. AUGH. AGONY BUT LIKE GOOD AGONY. Clawing at the walls of my enclosure I have waited so long and I need everyone to know that SPARKS MANAGED NOT TO LET IT SLIP OUT AT ALL. THEY KEPT THAT COMPLETELY A SURPRISE. THAT’S SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. AAAAAUGH ITS SO SWEET AND SOFT AND I CAN JUST SEE IT IN MY MINDS EYE AND IT. ITS EVERYTHING IVE HOPED FOR FROM THE MOMENT I STARTED READING GIHASM. AUGGGGH. IM IN LOVE WITH THIS CH GOOD CH!!!!

oh my god belle this is a whole essay and a half, dude,,, (<3)

you dont need to be normal about the chapter. please be abnormal with me,,

that little experimental flashback and such was decided very last minute! i thought it was too soon to reveal ren last chapter where it was supposed to go, and honestly, good decision methinks. :) I liked having doc be just a big metal guy. thought about giving him a redstone power like others but i think its neat if his whole arm was partially constructed by his own power. a metal mobility aid :) I DIDNT THINK THAT IT WAS--- I AM SPRAYING YOU WITH WATER!!!

they love each other SO much. i like making all the characters feel human so i give them little quirks and slip ups-- something im so worried about myself doing irl that i barely speak lmao. of course its hard to switch to a new name when you still use the old name in private. and of course, mumbo isnt usually on the scene for fights, and he's never really seen grian fight too much, so he doesnt really get it that grians bleeding and continuing to fight. im rambling, anyways--

the thing about keralis is that he says the weirdest things. even trying to write him, he'd still manage to say weirder things in videos. he's such a Guy

Doc immediately calls a time out basically. he sighs and lets them wash off grians wings, and then keralis leads them to his office where hes been stewing about his bruised pride. he's a silly wet cat

who knew such a big persona could be brought down with a piece of paper smaller than a finger?

he loves his brother. if theres anything you should knoow about scar, is that cub is his pride. i mean. he got the city to fund a statue of them, of course he loves him. he loves cub so so so much for what theyve been through. he cant wait to annoy him over board game night and never complain about his cooking ever again.

I WANTED IT TO BE A SURPRISE!!! :D i kept telling everyone they were going to come kill me after the chapter (mostly, yknow, about the cub thing) but in the back of my head i was just >:3c and wait until you get to that last scene, my pretties

i mean, ash @polyamquackity was live reacting to me in the dms and i KNEW exactly when they got to it because he just texted

which was exactly the reaction i wanted everyone to have :) Got a lot less dts (/friendly) than i was expecting though!
