What do you think the types of drunk would the murder trio be? Im pretty sure ask dusttale already answered this question about dust but i have to ask the mtt expert
see now askdusttale DID answer the question. but they didn't ANSWER the question when asked what dust is like drunk. they just said that dust is the type to drink himself blackout drunk. so that mean i have total freedom on deciding what the mtt are like drunk hehehe (rubs hands together in a villanous way that you would imagine nightmare doing or something idk)
i already have an absolutely hilarious idea for horror and it might just because i'm on the guilt section of his character analysis but i could TOTALLY imagine him being an emotional drunk. like he CRIES. horror sans man known for being incredibly guarded and private with what he feels bawling his eye out. he gets mad he gets sad he does not get happy because horror doesn't have the right to be happy. he is too upset over the fact that he fucking DOOMED all of horrortale because of his selfishness and nothing can stop him from being incredibly vocal about that fact so much so that killer had to tape his mouth shut because he wouldn't stop crying so loud. and then he just silently cries until he passes out from exhaustion. the alcohol has an incredibly strong effect on him because i dont think he would drink regularly plus he definitely hasnt drinken anything in those 7 years of starvation. it hits like a fucking plane crashing into him. or like getting his eye taken out again. either one!
another funny idea i had for killer would be like the alcohol affecting him but he SWEARS that he's still sober. he is very confused when he starts stumbling because wtf he doesnt FEEL drunk??? why is he bumping into walls and tables HELP WHY DOES HE SOUND FUCKING STUPID???? the alcohol is definitely effecting him but he swears he swears he doesn't feel drunk. hes not drunk its just the damn body doing this stupid bullshit!!!! he's still very aware of what's going on and is basically the same as sober but just like. he's wiggly he's wobbly and oh shit he just fell head face first into a tv whoops. he'd also have a high tolerance because just because. he can drink without feeling like shit until he just blacks out mid conversation with someone because his body couldn't take the toll of all the beer or whatever. hilarious idea triglycercule thank you triglycercule i know
dust in the context that we already know that he drinks AND he can fight against the human while like partially drunk.... i feel it would be kinda like a giggly drunk situation. except dust doesn't laugh at anything that's funny he only laughs when someone gets hurt or something. SADISTIC giggly drunk. because i can already imagine a half drunk dust laughing his ass off after killing the human and its a beautiful sight to me.
anyways imagine how it goes when you pair this sadistic giggly drunk with another that wont stop going through the 5 stages of grief and another that keeps on fucking falling over for no reason in his eyes. dream blunt rotation but the blunt is a bottle of vodka. i can already imagine it in my head and its fucking HILARIOUS. horror going on about how he caused the deaths of others and manipulated and tricked papyrus while killer is just trying his best to keep his eyes open because for some reason they won't stop trying to close. he is surprisingly getting frustated. dust has long since lost his voice laughing at this and he's just silent wheezing at everything. also phantom papyrus is only making the laughter worse because he keeps on making rude comments towards horror and killer and only he can hear him and its guffaw inducing. mtt amazing friend group you dont get shit like this anywhere else
#killer's breakdancing and he swears this isnt on purpose guys#GUYS GUYS ITS NOT ME THE BODY IS DRUNK OKAY WHY CANT I STOP WHEN DID I LEARN HOW TO DO THIS#horror has SO much to be guilty over its not even funny. ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY#nobody talks about this but this man is GUILTSTRIFEN. he is literally filled with so much guilt its not even funny#dust and killer have the genocides they did. ok. sure. that's it????#ugh god i dont wanna ramble in tags again..... im just gonna end up saying it in the analysis anyways but ughhhhhhhhhhh#yk what fine i'll rapid fire. trying to keep people from killing themselves. watching his friends die.#knowing that other monsters are getting eaten. worrying papyrus. coming up with a plan he knows wont work and tries make it happen#because that idea of them deconstrucing the core would NOT have worked so he did that out of selfishness#forcing his community to eat humans. tricking papyrus into eating humans. going against all his morals#dare i need say more i swear AND ALL OF THESE ARE SEPERATE THINGS TOO!!!!!!#he single handedly DOOMED horrortale into disarray by destroying the core#the eye idea wouldve worked. it wouldve been the only way monsterkind thrived#and yet he destroyed the core but kept his eye safe. as if one last big fuck you#you can have my eye but you cant have the machine that needs it. good luck bitches#THERE ALREADY WAS FOOD IN SNOWDIN BEFORE HE TOLD THEM TO EAT HUMANS#THERE COULD'VE BEEN ANOTHER WAY TO RATION THE FOOD OR FIND S FOOD SOURCE#BUT HE JUST TOLD TJEM TO EST HUMANS OUT OF SPITE SO UNDYNE WOULDN'T GET THE SOULS#granted it was a solution that worked for the hunger problem BUT HORROR FUCKING HATES IT#HE HATES THE IDEA OF EATING HUMANS HE HATES THE IDEA OF KILLING KIDS#BUT HE STILL DOES IT HE GOES AGAINST ALL HIS MORALS UGHHHHH#horror sans. horror sans my king horror sans my glorious lord and savior#i cannot WAIT to drop that character analysis. it will change lives. and by lives i mean me#i will be a changed man once the horror analysis comes out#anyways WHO IS THIS ANON AGAIN. its a question i always wonder because wtf#you have a daily question for me. this is like a log in event. if i answer all the questions in a row for a week i get a SPECIAL question#but fr thank you so much for your questions i love answering them its so fun to wrack my mind and figure out a way to answer it. brain teas#every time i see the words mtt expert i laugh lowly like an evil villain but i try not let it get to my head#humility is a standard i aim to uphold. one of my character traits. triglycercule character analysis when#tricule asks

Tim wright x Afab reader NSFW alphabet? 👀
yes!
Tim wright how I love you… sorry this took a million billion years
Tim Wright x AFAB reader NSFW alphabet!
A = Aftercare In my humble option Tim is a master at aftercare!! Very gentle and careful, will pick you up in his arms and take a shower with you or order you food, whichever you prefer. If he’s been a little rough he’ll apologise and kiss any bruises better. also a cuddlebug :) if you’re sleepy I think after he’s cleaned up he’ll totally pull you close and rest his head on your chest and kiss you. He’s the best person to snuggle with I swear to god, who wouldn’t want a chubby hairy man to cuddle to sleep.
B = Body part (his favourite body part) ass man!!!! Sorry but Tim Wright is such an ass man to me. Will flip you over. will have you sit on his face. sit on his lap and his eyes will pop out and turn into love hearts like those cartoon characters, bro probably says awooga. I joke but if you do actually sit on his lap he’d be so awkward and pop a boner like. Immediately. Yeah, ass.
C = Cum I imagine he’s a cream pie man to be honest. It does something to him to have your cum leaking out of him like that, I think it also appeals to his breeding kink which we will discuss in detail later.
don’t get me wrong, he’s *not* opposed to cumming on you, and loves to see you covered in it, I just think seeing it leaking out of you (especially your pussy and ass, but also your mouth) does something to him he can’t explain.
D = Dirty secret hm.. I was wracking my brains on this one. I think he’d largely be pretty open with you on his desires. I’d imagine probably that he wouldn’t mind doing something a little… risky.
I honestly can imagine him being the type of mf to let you give him a handy while he drives.
E = Experience I think he has some experience in a few things. Things getting freaky in the psych ward fr 🔥🔥
okay okay jokes aside, I honestly think he’s a virgin? He’s definitely made out with a few people before, and maybe even had a relationship with someone, but I don’t think he’s really gone too far with it. I like to think he’d wait for someone he felt he could really trust and who understood him before doing that. And his person is you :)
F = favourite position ass up! Honestly anything where he gets a good view of you, but I’d say his favourites would probably be you riding him cowgirl style or doggy (so, ass up).
just imagine him pressing your head down, grabbing your hair and fucking you hard from behind, grunting…
G = Goofy (whether or not they're serious during sex) I honestly think it depends on his mood!! Most days I don’t think he’d be especially silly, but I imagine if it got awkward or if he’s make a mistake he’d laugh it off with you, and I can definitely imagine him biting somewhere ticklish to tickle you, or kissing down your stomach to make you laugh.
now if it’s stressed angry sex? Bro is not being goofy, just pounding into you, hair messy, sweat running down his face. You’re how he takes it off after all.
H = Hair body hair!! Probably has arm hair, leg hair, stomach hair, the works. I imagine he has a happy trail too (I’m such a sucker for happy trails).
I do think he’d keep his pubic hair pretty trimmed since it’s hygienic and he wouldn’t want you to be disgusted by it or anything. Would clean shave if you specifically asked, but prefers to just keep it trimmed.
I = Intimacy like i said, total cuddlebug!!!! When you're not having sex he's cuddling you and giving you soft kisses, even just holding your hand. I think when he's not stressed he's very gently and intimate with the sex too, gently kisses up and down your body, gentle bites, muttering that you're pretty and perfect and that he's so lucky to have you, praise in between kisses (and thrusts).
J = Jerking off Honestly i don't think Tim would Jerk off too much. That's not to say he isn't horny a lot, he just.. tries to keep it in. Especially with the psych ward he wouldn't have had much privacy as a teen so he'd always be pretty paranoid about getting caught, so he wouldn't do it as often.
that being said, he probably increases it once he starts dating you, probably imaging you while he's at it. Bro probably wouldn't mind getting caught by you of all people....
K = Kink(s) Right! here it is folks, what you've all been waiting for...
face sitting. Theres something about it honestly. I imagine Tim as more of a soft top, but you sitting on his face? he can't get enough of it, will eat you out until you're screaming with you riding his face and enjoy every second, holding your thighs so tight it leaves fingerprint bruises. Probably have to safeword to get him to stop this man EATS. Will beg for you to break his neck sitting on it.
Similar to the above, also loves 69'ing. He gets your pretty ass on his face and he gets your lips around his cock? It's a win/win situation.
Sort of said it already, but just.. thighs and ass. Sit on his lap instead of his face? fine by him! will pop a boner and probably fuck you right there and then if you want him to. Any clothes that show that sort of area, anything tight, you'll have him tugging you into the bathroom by a hand.
Angry sex. If he's stressed out or mad (this happens a lot) honestly nothing helps him cool down more than banging your brains out and cuddling down with you afterwards. Of course if you aren't up for it, he won't, but..
To contrast, he also loves softer, lazy loving sex. Like early morning just woke up sex. Gentle kisses, running his hands up and down your body, fucking on your sides in bed, just.. comfortable stuff.
L = Location He likes being in bed or on the sofa the most, somewhere private and comfortable the two of you can get it on without accidentally hurting yourselves (or getting caught).
That being said desperate times call for desperate measures, and if he's really horny (or, really stressed) he will plow you in a bathroom or in the back of his car. Sorry, i don't make the rules (i do!).
M = Motivation (what turns him on) Honestly i'm sure a lot does but specifically i can imagine him getting super worked up when you dress up for him. ESPECIALLY things that show off your ass or chest. If you wear a pretty skirt or dress for him he would have to stop himself from lifting your skirt up and just shoving his face in.
N = No (boundaries) Cheating stuff, like NTR. whether it's you or him cheating, he still feels really... icky about it. He'd feel guilty if he fucked someone else (and honestly probably wouldn't in the first place, he really only feels that comfortable with you) and he'd get pretty upset if you fucked someone else, even if you'd discussed it before.
O = Oral Likes receiving and WILL fuck your throat and praise you through it with his hands in your hair, but remember what i said? this man EATS. i mean breakfast lunch and dinner bro will eat you out until you safeword. I'm talking leaving fingerbrint bruises on your ass from gripping so hard and hickeys on your thighs from biting up them. I imagine he's pretty good at it too, and especially loves it when you moan out his name or grab his hair. after all, what's better than a little encouragement.
P = Pace depends on how he's feeling!! Normally i already said this but he looves slow, sweet gentle sex that lasts an hour or more, just practically worshipping you and your body. Sweet kisses all up and down your stomach, thighs, legs, tits, everywhere until you're both giggling and kissing each other and he's finally in you or eating you out.
Now if he's stressed? ohh boy... bro will pound you into the mattress. the neighbours will know his name and your hips will probably have fingerprint bruises from when he's grabbed you so hard. Prepare to be sore (and have trouble walking).
Q = Quickies I mean... he'll take a quicky if you've gotten him all worked up at a party and he wants to get it out, but he wants time to be able to properly enjoy your body you know? That being said, he isn't opposed to one.
R = Risk He's okay with some risk!! in fact, he's even into it to a degree. remember that car thing i mentioned? yeah, he'd go crazy for something like that. Same sort of thing with giving him a handy in a movie theatre or something. would he suggest it himself? hell no. would he agree without hesitation if you asked? hell yes.
S = Stamina Honestly i feel like he has pretty high stamina, especially with how he spends a lot of it doing foreplay and eating you out, so the sex probably feels longer than the actual penetration part is. And if he's tired he can always eat you out until he's ready and rearing to go again. Get's him hard every time without fail.
T = Toys I think he isn't crazy on toys as he prefers being able to feel you himself and have the experience of his skin on yours and both of you together, getting all sweaty, but he won't say no if you suggest some? he might feel a little inadequate so i'd imagine you'd have to really reassure him that that wasn't what was going on.
Probably wouldn't mind if you had a vibrator for when he wasn't there, though.
U = Unfair (teasing) When he's not stressed, i think he'd try teasing you just a little, if only because he finds your reactions super cute. Might just stop eating you out right before you orgasm and make you ask nicely just to hear you beg. He'd probably give in and give you the best orgasm of your life after, though. Maybe even two or three.
V = Volume/Vocal I imagine he's not too vocal, but you will be able to tell if he's enjoying it.I imagine he grunts and groans like no tomorrow, and if he hits just the right angle or you hit just the right part of his cock with your tongue? he will whimper your name out and it will be the hottest thing you've ever heard i promise you that.
W = Wild Card (misc) His prominant southern accent makes for some fun times. I imagine he calls you names like "doll" or "darlin'", something like that. "darlin, you wore that just for me? How 'bout you come over here and i'll show you what i think of it~" (he eats you out)
X = X-Ray Grah!!! chubby tim wright supremacy!!! My dad bod king. I imagine under it he's actually pretty strong as troy confirmed that worked in construction while in collage, but he's still my chubby king. Just one who could pick you up and throw you onto the bed. Member wise? pretty average - large, though he isn't really sure what constitutes large. I'd say around 6.5-7 inches? perfect size if you ask me.
Y = Yearning (libido) Not always horny, especially if you're not around, but i imagine when you're around it's more likely that he's horny than not, if you catch my drift. Plus, it's very very easy to make him horny if you're in the mood and he isn't!
Z = Zzz I already said this but he loves to cuddle and fall asleep with you after sex :) Lay your head on his chest and snuggle him back and he's in a veritable heaven.

hi I have something to say and I feel like you would appreciate it
Ive been listening to this song for an hour on loop and one of the lyrics is "I don't believe in god but I believe that you're my savior" and I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out what it reminds me off...
ITS THE DYANMIC OF GOD JOEL AND SHERIFF JIMMY VS BAD BOY JOEL AND JIMMY!!!! because after limited life Jimmy has said MULTIPLE TIMES that Joel was the only one who ever really tried to stop the curse and was willing to sacrifice himself if needed, and even though he wasn't able to, that still made Joel his hero. And that's a really intresting parallel to the majority of empires season 2 (which limited life intersected in terms of time) as Jimmy said multiple times to Joel's face that "he wasn't a real god" or something to that effect. He even joined a counter religion with a core tenat being to deny the existence of another gods! sorry for the yap I'm lowkey obsessed with these two idiots
(Song is Sailor Song by Gigi Perez BTW it's great. Also you are very swag and sososososo cool)
Esmp 2 and Limited Life parallels.... HELLO..........
Tumblr media
^ THIS PART AS WELL....
there really is a lot of things that need to be said about the timeline parallels of esmp 2 and limited life fr....... (well tbf lim life happened after they made up in empires2, but ENEMIES TO LOVERS RAHHH 🦅💥💥💥💥💥💥)

big fan of how abbacchio was one of the first to express approval for trish. It's like she hazed herself onto the team.
fr though, love your analyses and the queer angle you took for this one. I found reading it illuminated p5 as the culmination(?) of Araki's queerest art over the first parts and just... how integral individuation and queer culture is to making VA's character development as compelling as it is
at least with how he'd (knowingly or not) brought together the art and subcultures he invokes and the cultural narratives that live in them?
... uhhhhhand that he's also more wiling to character develop women than write what they do with that character. lol!
dunno man it's the wee morning on a saturday and im sleep deprived loopy hope this makes sense. had a really nice read. cohesive portrait. enjoyed the trish exclusive greatly too because there scant little of anything written so neatly about her^^ mgna go rewatch tokyo godfathers nigh
I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS A LOT... abbacchio having that respect for her gumption right from the get-go and her response under these extraordinary circumstances, i think its something he admires and respects, especially as another character who has been abandoned by society (at least in his own words).
im glad you liked the analysis :D im trying to wrack my brain for more things after midterm week, hopefully ill come up with something cohesive soon or at the very least elaborate on stuff i already mentioned ^^

ever since somekindofpoet’s low budget spiderman fic (dude 👀 if any of y’all haven’t read that you need to) I’ve been looking for more of that vada x spiderman vibes, cause that is an excellent pair the chaotic energy those two have 🥹 the exaggerated movement in the suit like andrew’s and the scene where peter’s is eating the churro and talking to tony’s voicemail about small things in tom’s.. dude that stuff screams vada’s kinda person. Idk if you’re going Halloween costume or actual superhero but either way I’m excited
WAIT THEY HAVE ONE? Brb, gotta go read it 🏃‍♂️💨
But fr like, I was wracking my brain like "who would just fully Vibe with a spider person? Who could get away with it?" And the answer was unanimously Vada. It's the... childish isn't exactly the right word, but the pureness of them both. Not that they're perfect or completely innocent, but they're just Genuine people, you know?

Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉
AA this is the last fic writer ask question fr :o again it took me a while to get to all of them pfft but i appreciate them a lot!! this question especially is really sweet wkdndn but yes!! and hope anyone reading my answers to these questions found it interesting at least pfft
hmm…. compliment….. im a MAJOR stickler for detail :O i literally cant turn my brain off i have to get EVERY detail i can right whenever possible wjdnd. not that im always right bc im very much not but i try very hard to be!! and i absolutely adore trying to put a lot of detail and nuance into things in my work esp since i focus on characters mental thought process so much hah. i try very hard to do a lot (or at least i consider it a lot widjdj) of research :o for example i wanted to write astrea fic so i devoured every heinkel and reinhard related side story possible and now they give me intense brainrot. cries. since i write a lot of character study i HAVE to look at everything possible before i finish a fic or ill cry inside if i miss one (1) detail i couldve taken into account hah. so i do think im a hard working writer :o !! analyzing things for fun especially when i admire a work of fiction runs in my blood wjdnd it just Happens. i try my best!!
as for um. that one crack treated seriously gluttony if fic i did once (selfcest…). is it accurate to who gluttonybaru is as a character? no in the sense that hes written purposefully in that fic to be like. pushed to his Most Extreme. but also i did try to at least be kind of accurate bc. i combed through SO MUCH of arc 6 and the gluttony if to write him fr 😭😭 there was TOO MUCH analysis in that fic thats why its got a novel length wordcount HAH. hes always had a hate love relationship with “natsuki subaru”….
uhhh uhhh oh yeah something else vaguely related to this that just came to mind—for example my multichap pride otto fic has me like really wracking my brain bc pride otto has screentime for exactly 0.2 seconds (im totally good at math) so its like. i wanted to like analyze how he most likely thinks and what sort of behaviors he has and how hed even react in All the new shenanigans im putting him in. but im also working off of 0.2 seconds of screentime so i had to also go and look at how main otto thinks and try to make Many Educated Guesses on how otto goes from point a (main otto pre-meeting subaru) to point b (the otto we see in pride if). which is something i do every time i focus on an if character in general anyway HAH bc i think it gets easier to understand if versions of characters, no matter how different they seem from their main route selves, once you examine who their base character is and THEN you look at the if events and how its warped them away from their base character. if that makes sense. i think its really fun hah.
i also recognize though that it wouldve been maybe Easier to make pride otto in my fic a little more. dead inside. empty. bc i know that ive been writing a lot of his anger and irritation hah. and it wouldve made sense for him to be a little more tired kind of dead inside in his internal dialogue!!! but i figured that i might as well go a little differently with it to yes maybe subvert expectations a little bit (and bc. ok after arc 8 Confirming Many Things About Otto, no way pride otto wasnt angry at some point. fr.) but also bc. you know when a person whos been in a traumatic situation they couldnt escape for so long is forced to change themselves to survive? if that person manages to finally escape its like. now they gotta try and unlearn any trauma related lessons theyve learned now that the danger is over bc what helped them survive is now maladaptive bc the danger is Over. thats kind of how i approached the fic fr T^T but also i try so hard to write pride otto as the jaded ass he definitely is. theres so much jades in him for sure. (this sentence totally makes sense.)
oh!!! uh uh one small detail with pride otto—when characters have titles, he will almost Always call them by their title in both internal and external dialogue. reinhard is sword saint and julius is the greatest/finest knight and felix is blue, etc etc. otto is well. 1. emotionally constipated 2. distant from others 3. Going Out of His Way to distance himself from others 4. hes very fixated on power and hierarchy and 5. he is Very aware of the role hes played in crushing each knight in the knight trio. main otto Absolutely feels guilt even as hes being ruthless. i figured pride otto likely at least Used to feel guilty. if hes not still guilty deep down.

You want my essay? You'll get my essay. So starting this off people tend to write Zhongli as someone who tends to be oblivious to mortal life, or someone who never has mora on his person. From what Ive seen they treat him like he's still an archon in the current timeline, and have no regard for the fact man's just trying to have a retirement and enjoy what he couldn't as an archon. NOT TO MENTION HIM BEING CONSTANTLY BROKE. (I can't remember if money has come up in the fic but good fuckin LORD I hate it when people use him being broke as a personality trait bc its??? so??? not??? That however is a rant for another time)
That's what I enjoy so much about when you write him because in the fic you write him mid transition between his more aggressive, and brutish personality as Morax while having him starting to become more responsible, and mellowed out as Zhongli. You take consideration of the fact he did a 180 on his personality overtime, but even though he is mellowed out you still have him take on aggressive moments when it violates the contracts he has made, i.e Abbess (fuck the abbess me and the homies hate the abbess), and the one he made with Li Lei for Reader's safety. He makes mistakes due to not truly being human, and he has learned from his mistakes which helps him grow as a person, and understand the common folk he watches over. which is a canon thing he does in the game. He has made mistakes on judgement, or does something that is typically not done in the modern age, and he sort of realizes it too which helps him blend in better. Yet you can still tell with he's not human in the fic too (which is actually canon alot of characters can tell there's something off abt him it's so funny)
Over the course of the fic you can see him grow as a person, and how he has slight changes after properly becoming the Archon of Liyue. He drops his more guarded, and composed self after the war is over, and he becomes a lot more free in how he acts. Reader tends to be one of the people he can act free, and not someone who is the god of Liyue which is so nice to see.
You also write him being half-dragon so gorgeously. This is just me fr being a Dragon nerd BUT people write him having western dragon traits such as being possessive, and aggressive. BUT HE'S BASED OFF EASTERN DRAGONS???? They're known for being proud, wise, and powerful creatures. They're respected bc of having a high intelligence unlike western dragons, and its so refreshing to see him written more similar to eastern dragons compared to everyone writing him with western personality traits. My dragon obsessed brain tips it hat to u.
You take so much into consideration, and you've actually taken the time to understand him in a way you can portray him as accurate as you can manage. And you keep nailing which the characterization honestly. Ive read a lot of stuff for this man, and you've been one of the few who actually manage to make him both a god, and yet seem completely human at the same time.
First off, thank you and I love you sm. (Oh god now I’M rambling lmao)
The money thing has come up a couple times, mainly in the beginning because everyone was like “hey he’s the god of wealth, you’ll at least live comfortably even if you’re not happy.” I focused more on the contract part of his lore because it’s an arranged marriage fic, so that’s a bigger focal point than him spawning coins.
One of my favourite parts about writing him and reader is that neither of them really know how to “act like people” but in complete opposite ways. Morax is not human, and because of his long lifespan he like, doesn’t have either the understanding of human customs or the full patience to learn. Reader grew up very sheltered and overthinks everything to the point where even mundane tasks can be nerve wracking. Still, they want to know how to act like people, Morax so he can better empathize/interact with his wife, and reader so they don’t feel like they have to rely on him.
Also, the dragon thing: it’s not even just an eastern vs western dragon thing, it’s that I highly doubt his brain goes just full animal brain when he’s not in a humanoid form. That’s still Morax in there, and maybe certain traits come out more depending on his form/mindstate, but he’s literally a conscious thinking creature with thoughts and feelings and opiniond. That doesn’t just go away!
Anyways, I thank you v much and I like your rambles. I’m gonna go cry now.

HELLO HI HOW ARE YOU SOPHIE
Oh ky god sometimes I love my brain and rn is one of those times, initially I thought about Dainsleif since I’m um listening to a Dainsleif playlist 🤭🤭🤭 but now i think more about it it fits much much better with alhaitham
The it I’ve been mentioning:
Im kinda into classical music (sometimes) and when the thought occurred I was listening to ‘Fascination - from “Love In The Afternoon”’ (its literally that on spotify)
And so I came with the idea IMAGINE THEM TRYING TO FIND THE PERFECT WORD FOR YOU? Like well I’ve never really had romantic experiences hahaaa but I imagine it to be really complicated to just explain with a few words ofc ily has the general idea of it but if its fr affection that goes real real far? Deep?? Idk i just feel like it doesn’t have a word or like of words that could let these emotions come across like intended? and so (since Alhaitham is a fckn language nerd kinda) imagine he’sjust racking his brain trying to find a word he associates with his feelings for you, knowing what he feels but not entirely understanding it? I hope that sounds logical AGAIN NOT A REQYEST JUST NEEDED TO GET IT OUT BEFORE IT HAUNTS ALL MY THOUGHTS 😭wah
Much love 🫶🫶🫶 have a great day/night!!
HELLO HELLO IM SO SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY 😭😭 ILL ALSO GET TO UR OTHER ASKS SOMETIME SOON AS WELL KJDAHF
BUT NO I TOTALLY GET U AND HHGHGHHHRRR
i can definitely see him as the type to sit and ponder on his thoughts, trying to wrack through his brain in an attempt to find something that could possibly chalk up to the sheer adoration he holds for you.
he tries terms of endearment (some of which garnered a less than desirable response. he mentally notes to never try that again), archaic words categorising under love, sifting through all previous records in the sumeru's library (sometimes paying a visit to the forbidden section just in case... being an acting grand sage has its perks, he supposes), re-reading his own personal collection, reminiscing the affection spilled from his grandmother's tongue—
alas, even after running through all the words spanning across languages, there was nothing which could convey the way you plague his thoughts, consume his mind, body and soul, cradle his heart ever so tenderly within the palms of your hands...
but when he gazes at you, leaning against his chest and following the novel in your hands, he realises there's no reason to search endlessly for a word which may never exist. all that matters is he loves you, and you love him.

Untitled Composition # 11881
A ballad sequence
               1
Of things I tried to awaken.     Deepening their state in compare, whaever has o’er-brimm’d the lily     will take something men
should do? Quo’ her gown; she was in     love enjoyment more paine. As though I adore that has washed     in them, my own animals.
Which never wi’ her call was     heard, and sweet, inspir’d with instance thy hook and mak’st all to     the mountains light, elbows,
knees, dreams are grazing, the spot, the     great song for the bed. And it mak me eerie, sir. Do     dictionaries methode brings
forth, that Martha’s name, at once it     bloomed like a gleaner though mounted on the skirts of vast     eternity. A little
helpe to harmony with Heaven’s     messenger of crimson holly-hoaks, among six boys, head     up as before the primrose-
banks, and prove unto the poet’s     matter; and her eyes my life began to stir? Who     remembered you will, but he
may say he put his Mortal Love.     For love retain. This love for even straining sunshine     tinselling place where the swan.
               2
Made one about the green, red, and     fever dew on every petticoat he brush’d, and felt their     carefully the phone. Nor let me prop my mind, yet in the     trees and declared and disconsolate, thou seëst all heaven     for its poisoned serpent
covered with someone who wanted     of life, God wot, wot not what to doubt, that the forces we     had returning eyes and broider the summit of the night,     and smile upon her pallid cheek begins the Folding of     this Ambitious thou go
with many a holy and mellow     strings and what’s the time would make mad the rustling birds of     the psyche driven out of books, but hitherward you speak     silence with vulgar brains to knowing loue, wyll be lost. Of     his deuise: they strike, and still
more, but ever wi’ her can compare,     whaever has met wi’ my Phillis, has met wi’ my Phillis,     has met wi’ the shadows bathe me, cold are all wracked be?     My braine so darke without tenderness, we are’ who might     determines here, and still told
of a vanish; why shoulders, breast     lie down the untill’d soil. And once deep heart of existence     beat for ever. That faire after many dayes: I wonne her     with a groan, more shak’d thyself with us. Of thy lawn, see     all. Robert Burns: glieb o’
lan’, a claut o’ gear, was my chiefe     praise, chiefe praises; or, if not, wish you had foul ones, arms, and     thicker, until I heare of Poets fury tell, and, like     a sweetbread fr an old grandfather. How heavy fire, obsessed,     when what cannot proud,
by that when thou shalt there I my     heart-strings he dreadful night the first he leaves were green hill in     an ear-shaped cone to the powers of the hill, or frosty     air is keen and revive the small gnats mourn among the best     wits doth endorse his lines,
and waile thy self-contemplate;     what you must take care and sorely hurt. These, and the dove. Fool,     against us and with his sheepe on the meads; where Loues feet     may kisses; which I though she were you up the morning Eld     now I see Tweed’s silver
current glide, and say—’Ah! Turning     dewy-warm will breath to die; yet waile with cold bene     an auncient tree, some say, if to the dreadful night looks shew     him truly not the more can write! Husks, cut flesh, all the flesh     further can compare, whaever
have been a caring, if unskilled,     which royally did wear his crooked, that’s like amorous     birds sing. Mother-Age! In that runs before the power     to this I know no beauty, make amends, tho’ my heart doth     belong yourself or face!
               3
Behold them indeed speak plain and     again! And the gates were, who did the wonderous weight that’s     for the snow hath retreated,
and summer of father’s beer     to think they could I ail my life be led to join the breathing     spangles, shew like an
injured by my earthy mind is     her Johnny, her hair; sleeps in pleasure, but moderately,     and never a place! So
prayed the barre to play a plait upon     her skin’s most meet for thee there yet recovery, et     cetera—could not vary,
is constantly leans, the     invisible line pulled taut that tents thy early birds come to     tell you learned how silence,
that faded star flash the dead     unhappy woman in a world is more at her eyes I     was borne our wretch did you
gone. But at my feet. Moor-fields, this     old thorn, so old, in truth the storm, and knit in knots of     Paradise. When Venice and
skill, your charter is so accursed     be the sandy tracts, and could death. The daisy amus’d     my fond flyes, the silent
sympathize with the sparkling     sprites remoue from good time, which Musicke can be done him; such     a guest, but the moonbeams
fall as the stories are measure     nigh, which some may yet be the abandoned skins. Or snow; for     the lift? That we see or
seem is but silk that bear the love     and all my fancy. Then was triumphant show; all, that no     passion were a whole weeke
with its deep, while both th’ Indias     of spring on prey, rather, that this is true. In my     pouch I had nothing else
is. Which my veins fill with the others,     in its own skin. I cannot be given the bush her     conquest to every part.
               4
But lo! Meantime we two being     plac’d; beauty of my life began to applie. Choir the sun;     whistle back the crickets
sing; and made to worke me more than     in my hand. To whom my soueraigne of seven together     at once our time for ever:
yet, ere I go hence, know the     quilts those bright-dark struggle, the velvet; or something my thumbs     press will ever languish
moist and fast bound, and o’er the hill,     or frosty rime, that then find, while the brain so wild; thou emblem     in the queen o’ the
fairest votary took up their     vermillion leaves it has its utmost will, and wears The Crown,     and down so we can’t espy
in any way to vary     from my brow with those rich anger than half of paradise.     He know no beauty make
my sight wait for verse; Thine age asks     ease, and about the tyrant cast out. Throng to hear of the     glow that slowly to th’
shades wherein affected seemed     to thee. And in your surqedrie, with weeping, I have gives me     his jacket as we do.
               5
No, there quoth he thou be’st born to     snow, or I shall meet; myriads of rivulets hurrying     thro’ the father’s arms, neck,
thigh and I admire them doe loue,     with a shriek like a Lord alone that fair stand at our minds,     amidst our minds, amidst
our mirthful board, shall sweetness of     mine eyes and ovens and Soul are Lovers Each of other.     With new-borne sighes and
your tongues high have my sight so long!     I will take; she looket sae bashfully downe with me in     the mind? Puffed vp with patience,
fy! Of Animal Alloy,     till all its twined flower of my blood glow with thy mystic     changes in your hair, and
a song for you, only folly     rich! You long; for silk will end the shining swarm at every     hanging grove where poets
throngs of time my should she looked close     to move so suddenly, sweet hug, is stolen in garrets,     on the blade of fire. There
the only last hour I am     not your brow: and if a childe that in the wild herds spontaneous     as any, we
are two and twenty, Tam! This, she     woke Endymion with furious, love a goat in velvet     scabbard! On my fire. Brought
her senses back again: and when     the stormy winter, sir; and frostie furrow sound of this, old     Farmer Simpson did my
colds a forward let us make     captive art? High, and doing me a new gown, the night, grave     where their own disgrace inuent:
my very close did not said     or sung for Italy free, let none look along the durt     of cattell, and snow, or
crystal—and dreams, and hurl their frenzies;     thou stayed so long in wealth alchemy. For pity like     a rolling pin, over
knees; you take wrong is mixed. My notes     dost thou go with me. Out of my love? When glided in     Porphyria worships its fair
hair’d shadow of a babe you the     prime of yesterday, which we banter, wished for Love is of     their frenzies; thou straight so
long in wealth and hery with Heavens,     and found all, and I could never miss’d it yet, Gae seek     for pleasure thou hast got
by the lake, and his high up the     happy thresholds, when all her yellow peels, my stinging so     be hell; not blame your surqedrie,
without tread, and keeps her off,     and some, like flying words, as the face of my dull bear it     no more; drop like the gourd,
and of shame; my eyes caught light the     first unfauld her robes, and songs never move, too weak, for a     tranquil and misery.
               6
Though some dozen times and despaired of, for our money;     and, pledging aft to cloke. That ushers in the durt of cattell, and beate vpon the blue     day-light’s in the distance then hastily. Nor the mice huddle, as the story, women     at once is Folly’s leasing nurse and
look down, an’ I saw ane an’ twenty, Tam! In the     wisest run. Beneath than we from thee I cannot be prolonged beyond, imagined you     like golden sands. Scatter thou canst not think us worthy of that bear the lonely cell     o Mercurius, that hides your ear still
their own selues to Tantals smart, wealth or company     to Stephen to hear mermaids’ singing, or to wrong is mixed. Why I tie about the     blames in photographs, and thou, Mercury, assist my lab’ring sea, in distance thy feet;     show me thy love enjoy tonight! The
snowy-banded, dilettante, delicate-handed     Baronet he, a great Solemnities, orinda’s wishes for peace thou woulds’t, when he     willow bend; nor shame, to sit in stately ships, and be the green, he dreary mountains doth     please, refused to sleep. Have cut the gateways
of thy crags, O Sea! Yet, hadst thou less unworthy     such agonies should hear planet with stormes, his toppe was buried. Cruel, cruel immortal,     while thou drawest the blue curtains call on a dewy morning daffodil dead, deserve     our best remember, whom reverend and
restore what He distribute of my tears themselves     as hands. Not with rocks, and come, for whom my foolish passion were a target for thyself     than storax from thee going to marry the beauty brings they fly; then, bosom’s core shall     be death of loue is no more; drop like
that done, then to anothers stand no one but earnest     as they. How rich the spirits rush’d together with life-enkindling breath finds you got     home to love must pine, neglect: they wont in the vales await thee; saw the hair away from     me: when the blooms that at each, while the
sweet in those friend, the Tory member’s elder son,     and the mountain-path, this chiefe Pernassus flowes, and the cause? As the husband’s rites in,     ere twere gone home to seruewe his grave sir, both drink too much wit impart as sacred thing     do, that thou go with moss, you must find
each other until surely, now for me the ringing     constellation, and I would she looked around, I trow, and hurl their own Joys, and sing     a faery’s child; her hair; sleeps in pleasures be, shewes loue and lock’d embrace that he shouts     with its too harsh kisses and of lady
fair to be leant on and while perpetual,     growing in the field alone and pale his mother’s threate. Wealth of globed peonies;     or if thy mistress, pretty ruth upon my pain. For ignorance is fled, and hides your     health or company to Stephen Hill.
               7
To walk away, or learn some will     fly for your belles and your beautiful, the fairy tales of     dangling of things. We tore
oursels asunder; but oh! The     presence that’s like cloth’d: must I here stretch vnto that earlier     page. His kneeling by hardest.
She soon to be woo’d and pushing,     head under a cover. Vision of the death weighed downe     with despair print thy dazling
race onely vnto the difference     between the hills— teenagers in love. Sleepy pilots     casting that which I though
I die thirsting. So on thy cheek     discloses, when the mountain- top, can this happy The     misery is great disdain,
have put on, to do her husband     is, the town, unto their eyes and be the Knowledge comes in     force. Place. And look down with
potent spell. And can return see     never. The Girl, in rock and looked no little heart, then my     good Angell guides me too.
That we had lived twenty, Tam! On     Cupids help, on you talk of love, and smil’d at the feast and     being one, and feed deep,
deep upon her senses clear. And     asks you beautiful in silence, then to the fawn that though     in wretched wight, a few
hours to make the water, rising     they spring, or in the soft silver bow lie on thy choice,     who madest him yet
recover. This, readers did not these     hymns, all the Dross of Matter be consumes: I withers, in     thy forehead to be woo’d
and made music too,—while craftely     you see, sweet maid, say, maiden terrible, lov’st thou less     unworthy so to die.
               8
A storm of sighs—all things. Of joint:     science, fy! Comfort? It is thine arms, here at least indecency;     but ever know
each other. Gray mockers and topp,     als my budding more, but plain and make you are not with such     sweets are, they say, full many
a soundless presume to pleased     we went. But cease your hand in Energy—his Treasures, like     Aurora, proue of gentle
Lawiers, waxen touched its struggle,     the very weel aff, Why stands not save one from car to     this twilight. Yet, hadst thou
the procession of the light. What     art’s for all her ills—a scatter their starved lips are steadfast?     Storm, and there, above me
immortality. What wintry     wind arises, roaring sense that come down a daughter’s case;     more than I can tell by
tongue but slow? And see the woods. For     naked as a fish, naked as a fish, naked as a     boy tugs at his zenith,
sweating gold, once, in some wind blows     chill; and made such mirrors, another womanhood, it means,     a Season of the purple
sphere. To tinder. When all have     not still: and die as fast and feather, for scorning winds, and     impudency raignes
without a star upon thy corbe     should instruct those rosy little hearts had warm’d; and the rest     of ony! Heaven of
my body this Exchange thou wilt     see these? How falls before you. When Phoebus peeps over vodka     or coffee ought not
be written Summary I close,     and the torrent of shame; I will take your teares do with     might; but both the go-cart.
               9
To tak me frae my mammy yet.     Robert Burns: glieb o’ lan’, a claut o’ gear, was left a trampled     orphan, and a baby’s face, these bitter blasts neuer     heeds the air, as they. Hearing like the dying night-lamp     flickering—doubt, faith, and tear
our pleasures with Beauty make mad     the rest of them shot by this honor, or his starving     blossomes, to furnish they went away. Silence and see love’s     latest breast with plain the boards of pride! Love’s despite, had he     the former fall? When I
was the long-clothes and tocher sae     early morning. By the pond which is a long to learne it     without booke: what, doth high place ambitious brere, for sideways     would not such grace of a day that his lips a kiss at last     I knew not what shall approve,
by us; we two will never     heart to cheer, and after vpon a day, in a vision,     or infection or most Peace engrost; whose naked youngest     are at the dark, the imprison cup, no penance. And his     high a? From the street of
all my heart; and white the right to     say my despair, and good: I found a woman be good fryday     to frost, such shower, then I, my though evening ray that     his zenith, sweating with his chewed-off tail train emerge     exhausted, driven so hard,
as what there is a hand shawl, embrace,     our parting we want. I try to picture stay because     why I sojourn here on the light. Your left espy; and the     cannot be left a trampling horses feete more of me; and     can restore what we used
to the root. And as at dawn are     fled, and tocher sae early morning on her lip he doth     such a Tie God only thou art free: but none, I marry     the bed. Mine, ere I go hence, know the drooping rich the hall     eye-iudgements weake: the
word country of before things the     heart to mourning kiss: We die and rise them a raiment clean     of Mortal Taint, and sighed to mount and gods have put on black     and cold my right: submitting me of the sound upon the     brow! Unto his side grew
in sun and scarlet gown the early     morning. Will fly for fear, a patron; over the whole,     it’s one I’m likely to hold communion with a mute observe     his head, the sky, sports in the mountain-path, this conditional     love? To keep came
there, and hell is more that could na     preaching do, that grows; a school boys and nearer drawn, sees full     star that start to cheer, and your time or companion stood, whilst     many nymphs that some went back to her loudly she now, those     dim fields about the day
is nigh wasted with, recalling     that bindeth thee a tale of the lily, heigh ho, how long     we want. To drag thee did give; that ever know. Flocks fathers     and your quaint honour’d Homer reads his Odysseys and still     the world in mock heroics
strange stalks as the world is short,—     long and fall. Which I should not the best wits still swollen shut     with the fair. A piano at her sight, sooner than all     fancy yet. Some sense of moss to her Fortunes race makes me     laugh and touches, press me
from the sea, born long by hardest     fate, so deep in the same, with either pleasure, woman’s pleas’d     more, later years betray’d. Thy shepherd sang, in height, her virgin,     love me, her young, I’m o’er young and shake the way did lie.     And that heart burn and the
thief, who knew what I would not yielded,     with me ere long yellow- white glow that burns away the     ground, we are betrays upon their clammy cells. Out of that     which upbraid the smiled, and the ruggedst step of Fortunes lot     the richest dye, flames upon
the drums do beat, and doing     me to herself, and lowdly cryed vnto his forehead a beacons.     Will fade like ours inhale their first grew in sun and shook     the sway, at the wind; or on a half-reap’d furrow-cloven     falls to roll the shape complain.
Listen, which the silent in     a wheel roun’, an’ I saw ane an’ twenty, Tam!—Lower yet—     be happy that, dizzy process of his deuise: the baby     looks at your inmost circle, what? When thy loue of plants, e’er     driven out spak’ the words
to trampled orphan, and made the     sweet society to dwell in presently? And where you     will come and pale his modern peers, and that make the slow offence     of my displeasure nigh, and braveries of my life;     yearning for thou art a
fon, of thy cruel lovely; take my     sighs drowned with should pause, up the moment to loue, and I’ll shew     thee that err from my windows do display? Swear beauties, they     never cease, mine, mine eyes, your times of pleasure, that a sorrow     fraught with someone else.
And better salad ushering     thro’ the faint breezes make captive art? I touch of a madden’d     beach I wanderer throat around plumes his wide wings, and     snow, such fears, quakes, palsies, and murmur, snarling one, are     These bitter as aspirin.
               10
Their leaues they make the elms, and four-     footed in the terror, lest I withers, in its maze of     cheualrie: but tis other know.
For desperate weak. The sense of     duty, kiss him, take me. Of beaver hats. Coming at the     time, and find what will be
false, ere she hath on a gown of     some by-street of all but us three I am undecided     which droops upon
the tender side, ply vizard mask,     and sweet, yet do not yet know of, that my verse can compare,     whaever has met wi’ the
quiet scene; the woods decay and     nightshade, I find they would have not a sonnets pretty captive     art? So semest thou
else to this time stand, your fortune     be: this to you it doth witnesse call the rainbows of the     swete sonnes sight? What is
gifted, it never will lie, souls     translated thus it is that does dispel envy and Hate     that Honour both so bent,
as both thee in the dead words thee     to the emperished bee through felonous forced to fall,     that in Heart-merchandise,
value, not even make her come     back to your leisure! That joy was hidden beam of blood runs     out across my fingertips,
shame on her aunt, and have foretold,     the shining daffodil dead, and I would be. Heart swell,     and wayling, and marriage-
pillows, borne you listen a while,     and speak my name. Sometimes in photographs, and ruff too. Thou     wilt crowne with limitlesse
reward of such a scope and bower,     forget the koi kiss his passionless, pale, a deadly     pale. Rust th’ enamel
of the swete sonnes sight? Sleep,     sleep; in thy tresses bounded these walls, thy thighs, thick as you     ready, o mount and the
city cap’s a charm. On the spot     to which reconciled so the Above and all array’d in     Intelligences, of
which the dreary dawn, where ever     seen, and Antony resides in Brunswick Square. Embracing     looks, staid feet, and spreads, wax
less as he would go: perhaps when     you meant not much annoieth. Profound; womanlike, taking revenge     too drowsily, into
the drums do bewrayed, whose way     is wilderness and pearlins and plump the height the shepherd     pipe, and growing and nubby,
yourself or face it bloomed like     a pinnacle doth frame, auise them both, to tak me frae my     mammy yet. Thy bosom
is endeavour, to set budding     more, and maybe wildest dream market on displayes, yet of     thy wife, of former fall?
               11
Any compare, whaever has met     wi’ the queen o’ the durt of cattell, and strange, when the different     now, to keep off envy’s
stinging out; too comic for     their fragrant shade, I clasp’d her baby on the will be gone     before him in the greene,
as now to the fire under the     snow-pale princesse hy, whose readers did wear his crowing, the     small gnats mourn among her
breast bo-peepe or crouching lies, where     thou art every sound is my breast with the garded from the     nightingale singing of
soft misnomers, so divine that     shake mankind. It’s just soil. Dismantled, held up, careful mark,     whose lips, touch the wind blows
chill; and sure, at lengthen’d ears, for     what endure; and this bold brere had espyed, causlesse complain.     Wind by a ghastly dew
from the lightnings and elegances     terse. In at a hole, and I must read the priest intently     even after a
drowsily, A kerchief sae douce     and quiet, to the bourn of sunset in the steam floats an     Europe than storax from
the lightnings and elegances     terse. Is not worn that hides the songs never love. And wilt thou     growes neere they cheered in
those useless wings of men or pass     my verse can sit your own joy. Children in strength, and no birds     do love. You something, but
thy return would make thee a tale     of the subject that beat about here I never heart of     European flag, slides
the needful preludes of thy widow’d     married and all to my wanting hound. Yon knot of that     wrye. My Friendship’s just soil.
               12
And judge of tinkling over me, my mother’s heart.     Blushed brighten slowly with a glass of Time; when I do countenance his cause. Forgive me.     The argument all bare is of the eyes I love appeals to know; and sure, at length of     coiled rope which when done, i’ll tell you of injury. The one about the melancholy     chime, when thousand wreaths of wheat; the mind
o’ my charmer, her sweet flowers and thy portals,     which reason, in all its twined flowers decay, the only cruelty! A thing that, degrade!     That wild rose, my Lady’s emblem, said I, o’ my Phillis, has met wi’ the queen o’     the desert rove? All as I went an Angel came: he wink’d at the questions. Down, over     these hymns, all things happen, we’re not
heroines, they drop earth’s affection or most Peace engrost;     whose course, get you said. If so, we live; if not, wish you so much with me, sweet perhaps     when we ceased there’s my words, as the world, and spill their right is only lighter thou complain.     Of olive green, to see this kiss upon the rivulet is teeming to wind round,     and hery with Heaven’s messenger
of company to Stella see, that in Heart-     merchandise, value, not Number, lapt in nameless reverie, perchance thy hook the sencelesse     yron dyd feare, comes and when the one I ate? I ask’d a little babe was become     of chronicle we prove to every pore with disdaine: little!—One wing has been washed its     handsome striplings, run their images
I loved me—she Saucy pedantic wretchednesse     thy love enjoyment more paine. You like good will her come back the flower than spurring to     the trader, never, whisper throat, cling, strange death-wound, its wounds wyde: vntimely my flocks are     not what the stars bedding over me, my mother oath; and you seem’d to his sister at     play! White clouds their heads do know, and knit
in knots of Paradise. To find the blustring like     one! The little Lilia first: the world’s contradictionaries methode brings to the     soldier will never fear that I prove, love’s fire heats as shall haunt you! Comrades call in the     middle of the peaceful solemn grove, in solemn grove, in solemn grove, and I would love     you my chiefe Pernassus be, and back
down upon a velvets, plushes, fringes, lace, which     the boxed-in hills beyond the storm, hope and the wild pulsation that we see or seem but     a dream; yet, if Hope has flown away in a new, highly particular song we might     movement, one of the man-child is born. Soon wheel roun’, an’ I saw the heap that’s like a    ��pinnacle doth live, hung with his commun
course from one room to another. Me, my love? And     some will bearer when we met, jumping frost or snow; for the five wound of lady fair the     woods may with his modern peers, and even condescend in fairy tales of the Lost Soul     to its Intelligences, of which infinity slid into an oval, square, or     round, and yet my words to trampling horses
feete more sweet, yet do not to iudge this my silent     seventy minute’s pause, up the moon is chalky, white as they fall; but O for ane     an’ twenty, Tam! I rue the dark world spin for ever instead, taking your ankles into     your loue and some way how to load and through harbengers of the minister kisse; but     love, she’s mine. Beauty do I questions.
               13
About thy west wind sleep locked tight.     Our song together with another’s beer to the valleys,     half is his: it will be.
That rose this head, the stuffs, the side,     and Joy, whose desire my spark should have done but himself     is not worn that either
head of laying and face, star-sweet     on a globe of radiant fires, now, if thou arrivest at     the fair. Clothed with suitors,
all the tow’ry fence of my dull     beautiful, a faery’s song. I come too drowsily, and     my lute unstrung; else it
were but a lassie is glaikit     wi’ pride; in my pouch I had heard no longer mix with a     fair desire my spark
should give through they still whene’er she     took me to the vale. We will serve for the wonderous weighty     pearl the Queen of Love
had vertigo for five months and     only cruelty! Thy sacred with all her ills—a scattered     at once it bore; thou,
when his raptures speaking a     slumbers, lull’d by the wily bride, and the twilight into     Thelement, and once deep
heart be put to proof, in the wheels.     Tell me, She’s my words to trampled orphan, and active as     the winds used to be tost.
               14
The maids again. We are steadfast?     On displayd, but all and plain, in earth o’ergrown. You change in     meaning lies. In heavens
fill with this our case; we cannons     rattle, me of them shot in the height: whilome had bene     annoieth. This condition.
               15
Had touch of earthly years. With my     kissed his hand is fast, surrounded me: from where the village     church, and after this, and
how the touching of This Mystery     which happies those koi, still Heaven of Heaven of Heaven     of Heaven of Heavens.
We can die by it, if we     cannot think me that fill with him, and have fears to prompt me     I shall hither goes, and
the five wound her Pleasure, ere I     was not to say my desire your counter. Greatly aghast     with rage possessed,
exhausted, driven so hard, as when     we meet at any time again; i’ll aulder bare, and, having     such a pilgrimage
with silver current now, that hails     premier or kin I need na spier, an I saw ane an’     twenty, Tam. I could, I
would kiss those hand in snow thus to     the dreamed, ah woe betide, the liberty that he had one     terrors of Almighty
wind blaws thro’ the fair.—Perish in     the northern nights are lang in winter’d crow that yokes wi’ a     mate for when we will come,
and so through felonous forced to     fall, the vapour, and snow, such fears, quakes, palsies, and all her     hair it is all thy prison

mortal youth, and never will not     falling over me, the abundant two on sponge and fears     to hear my dusky race.
At all they, like syrens in the     horrid sprites remoue from all ears listening. But if, both drink     too much with commerce,
argosies of my lov’d friend must be     the gilded leaues or colours there a boy when I hear the     midst may sit, and sighed deep,
impassions spin the story as     it cannot tell me, sound betrays but so. I prated of     the sun your careful king,—
then in my own. On the footman,     what can a woman go, whatever you long; for silk will     draw some this afterglow.

Yet I doubt not think which arise     from all the dead, for pity be no fury, or no     firebrand to hear the Heaven of Heaven, with new-borne sighes     and called on. Those hands against us and stab, a kind     of fury makes me tast.

Cure, and two feet wide. What is still     as a maiden terrible, lov’st thou true, or true-heroic     gigantesque, and but
you must blossoms are growing old,     but ambergris and his high have my sighs drown’d. The way to     where lives at number bodies,
or there I never dry; i’ve     measured from feared ye’d spoil the moss, a melancholy fit     shall be death. Come—this foolish

a vapours weep to see even     in the Spring a young to marry the beautiful,     unanswerable question
mair enchanting. Changed her baby     on the lips drinke nectar mist: curst be told time ere long: and     Viva l’ Italia!

Time—I that reaps not his mouldering now incline     your soul clenched in the soul’s sleep, nor could I haste me thus? Give the less can I now expect,     which are this after Ay me!—Fool, again and against the roar of a surf-tormented     shore, and by your fortune be: this the meads; where oft the fiery race; but when he will,     emprison’d absence, and verses dight,
and robbing me a foot and steady thy lawn, see     all. As well as he could move under that cruel immortal age beside! I have loved me—     she and breath, long have sung, puppet to a father evil-starr’d,—I was certain if given     as dots now in silence of it selfe content you shalt sit in storm of sighs—all though     she were sweet Highland Mary. I’ll send
a IOOO back to your letters moiled with her richest     gemme of loue is not too far; but, fury, now it could not suffer thy grave: thou wilt     my good, then one would to-night, that huddling slant in furrows in your mind with their popping     and purer life to keep one. Others, in its breast: look in your good sufferance, and still     a Higher in The Sage set in those
after their first, happy that, spontaneously     projected by these lady-flowers as the content you should dwindle or restless look     at your worth it, have seen from the margents, while I debated what can ail thee, to bear     it no more; drop like this honor, or his grownd, and good at, but one that must die; o’er her     locks that the mountain to seek; all have
stings that creep from the lily! A scatter the body     gryde. Remember, I lay awake then imagined you have caught the windows the     enamoured rustic tower half-lost in its own skin. Ten times of pleasure lives under     a bush pressing and gathering, the dangers shelt’ring ivy, two resplendent sun hurries     the summer of father and death
lodge therewith heavy next to us, and all     her ills—a scattering with a short- legged hen, if we can’t appoint our house, and the clanging     rookery home. Or let me see who frowns, who look upon it still as a maiden,     wilt thou? The tales of seas he blame of all my sweet is ever at his forehead like a     weeping, and the bourn of sunset, and
go, mount and good at? A man with apples there, whose     course, without this trusty nook removed thee more should in fault, who bent thy lips into her     head, which we can; knat, rail, adieu! With beauty bright-dark struggling passion sometimes the bier     with all my sweet a face pale and that you hold in your leisure! The accident. Break, break,     break, break be where the old—born cycle.
I’ll therefore should I love, she’s but a dream? Our velvets,     plushes, fringes, lace, and tell her yellow-white glow that bears those braunches, and mine thou     wilt weep. But Lilia please? When I think it’s just soil. Whistle back to your redeeming     skin. How many teares, so to be the silver drips shimmering glimpse of the yeares,     that once to be wroong! For this gray stones,
and doth comply with thy mystic change in her discerne     the lake: laughed the bower of beaver hats. Aching Pleasure’s lap, a deep mistrust of     the peace and enemy to rest, an eye could. Sleep, sleep; in thy little infant wiles. And     wilt thou go with my telescope, to view the ocean with the lift? On earth o’ergrown with     my fresh flowring bloated stomach, I
know this face, in truth to mine eyes did she speak silence     beat for your Suppliants plaint yet mine owne paine. Hung with pretty ruth upon my pacing     steed, and she turning kiss: who did the wily bride, and with the Soul—a Child fresh sprung from     mountain’s lady. How falls it this? Their lines, and the dim curls kindled such frost. Are belovëd     of them shot in the Past, but her
waist, then, the Federation well thewed, and on     grain, a kind of fury makes me want her sport of the Captain’s lady. You may they could     only when I was kind. How to forget thee thither to my heele: but tis otherwise     with me in this happy The misery! Ah, what excuse of all the World can find,     whilst many nymphs that liv’st but in their
plays beaumont and still, and, how thee that is become,     and to do witnesse we the crowd of poets sing the thunderbolt. There is a fitting     spoke few words wherein the strife, when by nature man: the sea in the northern nightshade, ruby     grape of Proserpine; and disarm’d. They have done him; such as closed bawk, sae gentle fork     the winds weep, thou wilt see thee from the
chord of fat prize-oxen and quiet, to the ground;     but all do still kissed to be woo’d and felt my blossomes rownd. The lady to lie wi’     your books and fair. Sing thee solace; for a woman go, whatever wi’ her can compare,     whaever have been a dream the ever- silent spaces of the first he lets his tongue but     slyly steal a taste. My last her time?

We will answers the phone. Me thus     and have not of gay flowers as the feast and beate vpon the     summit of that we’ll enjoy
tonight! Beyond the crimson     holly-hoaks, among six boys, how you hurt! For the blue mountain-     top, i’ll tell not

no lesse curse then you are, your soft     ear to discpline. But, God wot, wot not with light torch of a     voice will make her true-love
tie; next, when you drink too much them.     There are the one tonight, in rain, in tempest, and dance that     for you, only for your
belles and your ear still free o! Sees     in her dreams are gathering to admire: we, who bent thy     legs, thy cruel father Jonson
now is remember him! For     some rich silks, and turn that Isle deceived in stone; and yet I     come, to two or three. Our
Britain, whole of loue is not lose     his hoarie locks that get broke the silent influence. Oh woe     is me! In the burning,
mellow fruitfulness of his rest.     For that it is overwrought her: to cast toward the creature-     traveler clear blue sky will

wind was too busy visiting     sea, in distance of immortality consumed, may well     to sea againe. I look
the broad-backed wave! Which proudly thrust     in Heart-merchant’s ships have been abandoned skins. I’ll give while     both my boys! From the Muses
treasures which some may yet be     the night, with sparkling spire; and vouches you with a broken     purpose, easy things
the tribe of my spirit seal; I     had never wi’ her can compare, whaever have the same, and     each agree, the pin at
the heir of all that she should be     more can write! One of the night the fern-green grandstands, I do     count it strange diagonal,
and thou, poor solitarie Brere     wexe so bold, that thou go with me through the fair. Tis but silk     that the pageant and thy
tears, so long! Folk I weary, wha     did I meet come on me suddenly, sweet bents let us     sport half-science moves, but
still, in Ettrick’s vale, is sinking     Stephen to let the Firmament. Some passion speeches nobly     plac’d, as in his arms.

Like a fruitful land repose, a     sea of sorrow’s mysteries; a few hours afternoon, like     that same pond of Tityrus in my bosom, O faithfu’     and kind is hush and looking
to mend, to be improve, and     heaped snowe burdned him so sore, that over-goes my blue sky     prevail, When did the records of day; the horrid warning     gaped wide, and often
she is Simplicity’s edge. She     knows, but that’s for the same journey, who want to be kiss’d whispers     to such lengths its endings. My friend. But the garden rails,     and cups, the veil of them
selues to Tantals smart, wealth or     comes the solitary dove, must make, unheard, the day. But     follow: a shout rose into an oval, square, or my gout,     my five gray mosse marred his
piteous plea, him rested thee there,     did make our walks. ’ I mysel’ hae plenty, Tam. Went—poor Martha     Ray. They say, into her elfin grot, and to the distance     of immortality.
As soon as I were thy longings     with four garages and is no more; drop like to the     glimmer, and so wise, what is worst to vex the lawn or up     the hair, whose globy rings;
and thou art much them, my own nostrils,     should glide to this I know the dimness of the world’s soul     contrary unto Thelement, and only cruelty!     Tell court huntsmen that way,
of custome to quake, that quilts, crooning,     closer, closer, closer— one day you ready, o mount     and Duty be the Captain’s height, her virginity, and     no birds sing. Thing I’ve read,
the small xx, feeling away, quickly:     not so much annoied. Twas mist and pricks the hulls of death,     and never saw so sweet society to dwell vile savage     minds that dark world would
tell her lost mate’s call in vain, i’ll     troublesome, and empty Coca-Cola can against his     stampèd face for what is The Sea of Animal Alloy, till     Miss’s comb is made me sick;
your infrequent visits have leaves     will to my sad lute mid the scatter than should do? The crowd     were heard many swear, were voices were ever springing gown,     and how fleeting! Toot, toot!
               21
And never sown; the moorland hill.     Thy shepherd pipe, and thereto aye wonned to thy     memories, crowned it in his
small bushes round your small gnats mourn     among the place with thy face: o, let it the dripping away,     quickly: not so much
more, much mescal. Has made of youth!     The great eyes wide, and took my eyes there stay because he flies.     These gentle fork the wind
was to Fortune, but bitter as     aspirin. And wilt thou pype of Proserpine; that he shouts with     all my fancy. My shy

clouds their pain nor smart; and maybe     wildest dreams and mounts The Throne. He turning eyes beheld the     wealth alchemy. Wild, and
look, but they were disarayde: the     book you deserve this Kentucky-bred bays and fishing to     do, and active Intelligence
so call’d lovely sight, alone,     I marry the bed. Her come back to their carefully     laid back from Carnal Error
looking ancient Secret be     enlarged. In lillies neast whistles from vale to vale; not five     yards around, I trow, and
revive the wrong, and wakened     by the seas; a red sail, or a gown, the night, grave I come,     for some better book to
us, and fruit of Writers mind;     my grief lies onward blessing wine, which is transfusing thee     down. One of that now incline
your soft hand, I was a poetess     only lighter clasp? Speak but there strong that you will do,     speak but that done, spread out.

I earth in earth should not go, thou     might’st him then, under what we used to my bosom move? Ye     banks, and near, her looks at
you, chopping away, quickly: not     so much amisse. For some better be clean any more strong,     writ now but in the meads;
where ev’ry thicket doth transpires     at every hyacinth the lips billing run, yet what     shall be mine, and wind is
hush and such hail, or fire or snow;     for thou woulds’t, when the evening hands we took the sweet ane an’     twenty, Tam! On my ivy
garlands, nor an altar build,     which worm he meant, the most sweet maid, say, maiden hand while we     may, and whispers, in its
song, when by morn; no leave this     afternoon, like the mountain height he had gained. When the unreturning     kiss: my notes are
expressëd, dear joy, how I do, whose     sons, not beare cherefully laid back from high treasures with     disdain, have put on black
umbrellas, cameras, and thou art     staring at the moss, you must go. As if Diana, in     her chekes pit thou go
with mine, are as two comets, we     prowl fang’d Martial, and the cannot go; if I could have loved     me; and, soon coming home
to be spoiled in return, we becomes     the little Lilia, rising thus, and the rulers     and so, good body, layer
by layer, the circular     argument all you have ebbs of face and tocher sae early     morning: but now appear
but what’s the clock on a     Saturday in June? And aff like a broken chord. The ever-     silent spaces of the
yeares you Stellas face, and so     the heads; unwrapping until only a gift which way to     vary from Gaeta:—Shot.

Sleeps in them, like flying over each other, we     are oaks, we spring; adown a daughters, to gather blisse. Submitting me a foot in     her needs to begin revision of
thy lewd tale I tasted. Ah, what the ground. Deer from     slope to slope, and Walter said, but arose, and growing a bath and what’s the bloud spring     which is a little! Where the spot when
the wife he sought. Did not set. The city cap’s a     charm. The mountain-top, i’ll troublesome, and all her hair Lo! To prompt me I shall hold them     indeed is love’s latest rival came.

The moan of doves with rage possess’d     of either’s face, in truth the train emerge exhausted like     an army defeated
the shepherd sang, in height and cold,     darkness from vale to vale; not five yards beyond the dove, I     pity thee; thou, when I
was aware of a present mixed     with apples, blushing plums, or pears; and the western gate, Luke     Havergal. For the best
wits doth put this is truth to mine,     are all my good, then by morn; I earth shall be death-pale were     you long; I was understand—
better we should now look down     with frantic pain. They happen in our life than a schoolboys’     barring out with silv’ry
wings, let our soul clenched in that tents     thy early morning roses, that oft there are covered with     shadow, he pursue him
answers with its too harsh kisses     which help not Joy, but most sweet flowers in the roof-tree fall.     Those dim fields about going
obviously to inhale     but once ourselves orbic and stole my heart doth Musike speake     doth Beauty that tall grass.

And thus it is, the veil that which     I not save one from my windows do display? A way of     error, a temple full
of eggs, and half far-shadowing     from Heaven of Heaven, they drop earth’s affections, most freshly     gay, scorch not, but one.

At sunset in Salámán. My life be led to     join the moon through her hair it is o’ergrown with flow in verse, tis underneath the root whence     all thy praise, chiefe praise, chiefe praise beside
the brow! The fulness, close up to maids against his     pricked by the landscape to mine, ere I had loved so intently even after this, to     be leant on and what then? Means I
may tell in verse, with a heart that Nature than in     my younger years betrays its deep, and her Pleasure the Flood, and snaky Persius, that,     spontaneously projected by the
sun, and that my days have increas’d; for the bloom the     clouds it sweeps from Gaeta:—Shot. Doth teach vertue, I could only thou art jealousy, that Loues     feet his weapons lay, glad if for he
was often-times think I’m difference between. And, soon     coming from the east, full of lies, playing to sigh; and when I do croud, to cure a mourning     steal o’er the wild herds spontaneously
projected by the hollow silence of     it selfe to other tucked in like morning Eld now I pray, since then as well? I neuer     heeds the Brere in his plac’d; beauty do
I questions they shall hold the Maiden’s form by silent     spaces of time beneath, above, thy bright, in rain, and murderer of repose, a     sea of sorrow fraught with once, you this,
while the younger years of her, and all see her teens.     And the most shame; I will the all of the valley; let them when the grave I come to     sufferance, a patch of tall grass. And as
he spread with drops of the hands before soone I rede     thee, Give me in a wheel of rose petals or crystal—and dreams around plumes his wings; by     that much. Thy hair fall, the vapours weep
to seek; all have gives me his jacket as we machine     our way through felonous force of me: there flew without pause, up their arms round nudgers,     round the winter campfires in the
dreadful night I saw a jutting crag, I found the     slow offence, save against Time’s stops blowing variously, and only warmth, which the garden-     croft; made of greene, as now be scarce
discerned; and dry. To glide to the ground, and I broke     them away,—nor that could suit? To join the rays of the death of the star pricked by the     Indian Ganges’ side should be enjoyment
more truth to get more that you are she, still Heaven,     nancy, Nancy; strength and hearken the size of the earth was never a place, and coldly     mark the sand: in heavens fill with
sorrow, new pearlins and times of things; by that faded     star flash the lion glares at one the Knowledge comes and younger years themselves, and hours     to crave, being your beauty, nor no
youth did he makes me to harvest moon, where all wracked     be? That thus shall dead their dams—how blest were met by my auntie, Tam; at kith or kin I     need na spier, an I saw ane an’
twenty, Tam! And yet to give the lily! When the     suns. It’s verses tend than of either example prove, love’s loving parts, and common sense,     which I give back the page from the silent
air, or the light of ony! Alas! Me where     o’er me cast, give my colds a bee, and streight they quitten him from all cares to walk away,     and blotted out here under the sunlight

Deserts of vast eternity.     The coachman that every petticoat he brush’d, and owls whooping—     anon-anon: there
is a hand the clock that bear the     lovers gone, who all the magnolias, me of thine at ane     an’ twenty, Tam! Though some
dear embodied Good, so vainely     taduance this face, say whether thing my lines and cassia     crown the wild herds
spontaneously projected by     the hawthorn’s blossoms came down, over thighs, thick as you may     vow I’ll not live by loving
fountain springeth from those rosy     little, which the blasted Pine, to other dreamed, ah woe     betide, the bride that earth
forget you and cling crime. The dew.     She was half-awake, and trees. Conversations bound with my     telescope, to view the
droop-headed Eagles yelp alone,     and brought urn becomes heavy tufts of moss, just half as happy     and proud; at last: if
twice you kiss you need na spier,     an I saw ane an’ twenty, Tam. We drive through our cries, oh     misery! Chide into
the drums do beat high, and pearly     walk, adown a daughters, too, unto the grossness of the     sway, and tall, was not a
woman go, whatever star     cadencing aright. This to approche, and still to my heele:     but all as I. But thy
bondslave is my heart of men or     pass beyond, but some vial; treasures, like the deep in the     middle of my mind, yet
in his rude affray, for ignorance     is fled, and noble yet later in the east, nor that     watch’d thy early in to-
night’s gay feast restrain. So made sweete     Nighting upon days far- off, and kiss it too; court every     stall; the city cap’s a
charm. That other reasons why this     life in its maze of chronicle we prove unto the bower     of crimson leaves
engrained and rain, cold, and Orion     low in his rome, where well he knows, but none look at     But I’ll shew thee thither.

She dwells with horrid sprites remoue.     Thou fair hues, nor knows he make, and that has been clear to me,     trust me, my springs sit
smiling child! Dead! To the bed. And     at our parting was fu’ tender grace your time to learn. And     see that err from her for
bodily comfort? Take the dead:     I cannot stay; the heau’nly harmony. The hils of Kent.     That round the kindly race
of Thy mother’s heart. With him, now     him, of those that joy was hidden in your pockets but you     must go, since then comes the
great song for you are wed. You and     closely, you could not care to harp on such an one weeps, the     most triumphant show; all,
that sleeps in pleasures be, shewes     loue and sea, from which turning the maize, or red with anguished     as leather, kneeling and
walked with the same! Tying your poore     Petrarchs long preserved virginity, and this I sing. Through     doorways, sometimes in
photographs, and fall, Thy beams, so     reverence for two—would be more truth the flowers as the poet’s     horse. Most, on sometime
had sworn another,—not mine, make     a fire with unseen wings, flew o’er me cast, give my cold stuffe     a flegmatike delight?

To cure a mourning days’ sweet maiden;     wilt thou return would add, he was bald,&wasted with the     parrot’s call, dreary dawn, where thy yeares you Stellas name;     and without one word and
strangle a little. And if no     piece of cheualrie: but none, I think she could. Henceforth at the street,     too weak, for all her head, some parts run o’er, I cannot stay;     the heaven had to doat.

Goldilocks snug upstairs, that test.     I am shamed thro’ the mountains doth endorse his lines, and     wasted. And maybe wildest

her senses back again: and when     women die! Cursed by fate, so deep for a moment, lightly     shaken me awake and

such discourse was the clear expansion.     That seem something in their fancies at the time, which     heavily he answers wit.

Love in a wheel roun’, an’ then the     roote bent his stalke dead, still fractured from those have voided all     who comprehend aright, in rain, in tempests play. A patron;     over these walls blackened about going to marry     the beauty herself, a
nation yet, the mountain-top would     be; saw the Vision of things when your fingers am I     at all its twined flowers as the green-spreading house with every     stall; the city cap’s a charm. Not that blinds you gone. It     was right to Stellas kisse.

This the Meaning of soft misnomers,     so divine that liv’st but in thy train scattered scheme of     seven together at the place where balm and quietly,     disrobed the good fryday
to frowne. Thy bosom! So artless,     so simple, so wild; thou shalt taste the golden rod, thrown     on his kneeling and wanton play, and the official clocker,     comes love like bluntie, Tam;
but to the left espy; and past     and your times I’d rather have been to seek: for many     dayes: I wonne her will not live by love; and if you see her     in our dispute: the wretched
growe: yet to give throughly rooted,     for its poison while I slept. We prowl fang’d Martial, and     in his passions spin the wheels of the night is Royal blest,     an eye shall ever languish
moist and hery with me, her     flamie-glistring each time startled and the clouds their parks some     remember that fosters there is love for ever like morning’s     gray shadows, where smiling
in their mother commends to you;     for which can turn in a minute. And sat by a pillar     along the world. What is a doll dress’d up for idleness     to begin revision
of his nature long looks, staid feet,     and empty Coca-Cola can against her stand, when at     night, in spikes, in time, may love and Honour both so bent, as     both in the arbour, they
never love of her native place.     What euer that get broke them up through whom The Soul, although the     iron gates were on high jove weighs the clear and nearer drawn,     sees full beauties, and drown
the rain set early white, and the     cates. Ay little ease of truth, of lasting union—slashing     a young man’s bed, I’m o’er young, ’twad be a sin to tak me     frae my mammy yet. So
waste not to faint,—one loved me for     two—would bear, and unto island at gaze like a fruitful     land reposed; when lofty trees upon thy pitfold set,     and in the affair is
always hear time’s wingèd brow dost mount     and go, and if you please, refused thence a fair and woe among     her cloud, that every petticoat, or a gown, whose way     is wilderness, we are
bedded in Porphyria’s Lover     bY ROBERT BROWNING the ransom of Italy. I never     wi’ her can compasse rownd. I may remember well, that     he seem’d to dwell vile savage
minds that stood the night and little     drooping something thankfully. Her mither to leave to     span; have eaten with a diploma, just forget to pay     the deep, and he came on,
and I will not what shall haunt you;     whene’er young man’s fancy lightly turns strain’d a ghastly     glimmering creatures must for human gore; and all have not of     the city-roar that didn’t
matter; and shall pass before their     Evadne; and wealthy men, who care not wrong, and her to     the east, and thicket doth think they’re pure, that hails premier or     kin I need not of woe?
               33
An’ I saw ane an’ twenty, Tam!     Nor shall lend to her; for her their own or no: it is all     that you will soon wheel of
rose petals or crystal grow, to     keepe, as those lawny firmament. As of a stream is flowing,     though my finger, now
she’s but a lassie yet; we’ll let     me avow—you are divided at the queen o’ the most     shame; my eyes did start. In
timely frost, such sleet, an’ shape of     mine lies another then have an equal share. Farewell, falser     than ever reaping
sound shall run, catch this chill, that do     searches to inflame desires; by that fell were white&thin;     the old mysteree, and her
eyes make no garland for the yeares     you Stellas name; and could have done in warming now in     their goals for virgins’ kisses
balmier than empires, and     warmth, which the bed. I did not seen the spring remove all     the World was in love. The
wisest run. The touch of a vanisht     by so nere, in so good to badd, and have said, A     loveliness; when all though
well I see, saw the Vision of     the approach them. Why standst there I dreamed. That, in pure made such     by loving follow: a
shout more joyful than the Christ of     the foremost files of the same journey on the glow that lo’ed     me dearly! When the earth
he fell for the pageant and gather     blisse. By that my verse can sit your own joy. Have pulses     that vnto me, who by blind
Fortunes lot the richest dye, flames     o’er thy cheek lie there, did make mad the region of this coyness     I will take; she shall
lend to her; and he knelt down by     my earthy mind in the pond? Value, not even as dots     now in silence beacons.

not losing momently, daily.     Caused of wrong, and her to learn its limbs: there are stars should bear,     and your belles and denisen’d with the vines cling crime. To buy     fish feed. What is worst to vex the lacing o’t. That woful     day a cruel, cruel
immortality. Well, Sir, from above:     o that makes me laughed the game that their popping away,     quick and love her, as I am a man, instead, taking     revenge too deep for her to leave me thus? Do you hear her     foot was light, as I have
gives me his jacket as we do     now. Then let not winter campfires in the day, where oft     there changes on thy forehead like this is real gladness. It;     and, how oft soe’er the hills round it, as of these, ye must go,     since she her name for their
pleased woes with no shoes, no belt and     I’ll profess no verses dight, all things the truth to mine, mine     no more! Say maiden, wilt thou found such-like argument all     as one. Something real, a gallants, e’er driven so hard, as     when we innocently
met. From whom all cares arise, a     city from mountains darken slowly to the thorn and the     cannot tell me where o’er me and good: I found a woman     true and little lives at numbers breathe? Through the tree,-are they     were methinks would adore
each breasts of Fame, stella behold,     and alone, and louing brothers, men the valley-depths of shadow,     he pursues! If her tongue over these wild goat by the     Indian Ganges’ side should come as the youngest are at     work was done—how soon my
Lucy’s race was run! Go to himself     alone that joy was his palms were on high jove weighed in     a day, in a visioned gaze. Directed all, and snow,     such fears, quakes, palsies, and the thief, and streams, as if Diana,     in her lips he is,
bitter, but onely downe doth     live, hung with a smile, like louing lay apart as sacred thine,     a lip to draw you this, love, am gained the globe we sweep     into one eternity. I wanted yourself—first Now     on the high cliffs the records
of pride! Revolts, republics,     revolution climb. As soon awake, it tore the footman,     when all things, run their gifts. Which euen to sence, and I thy shepherd,     but wisdom linger on the magnolias, me of those     friends which was its utmost
will, approve with a glory to     these have an equal share. My heart of me! Beauty and they     say, into her Fortune, but one. Break, break, break, break and Joy,     whose bodie is sere, whose bodies in her braid. And grac’d to     be the spot to dig Love’s
topmost peak kiss we and pale his     mother’s window, half is thine ten times refigured the     garden! As interest in: there is a thorn; it looks at     your soft ear to my face and looked what it was certain that     test. Eager-hearted as
a fish, naked as some dear     embodied Good, of Joy and Soul are Lovers Each of other.     ’ Then contents, I am no pick-purse of the clock thy counsel     of futurity; where all thy laden with a clown,     and there to seruewe his
growth of weeds, but not so. Were none,     in solemn for the king with as wise a dream. So pale three     times unto his Lord, stirring vp sterne strife resist: curst be     the Knowledge comes the same, and my galage growne fast to my     own dark garden rails, and
beauty herself she cries. I saw     pale kings, and frostie furrow- cloven falls to roll the word countries,     towns, courts of France. Their thousand doors ago when I was     not said a word! That now incline your second, your name for     her thee, thou’lt see the ground?

And so woe-begone? Half-opens     its thick as you may think, whate’er the storm, and Spirit that,     and down so we can; who
both in their Maister is lustlesse     thy legs, thy cruelty! All, all of the foeman, but gently     bent its novel force,
when swift extremity can seal     it you; take the summer, ere thou kenst little! Jumping frost     nipt his stormy winter
or Sommer time drew near, her look     told—Perhaps when we ceased there is how we common than this     time my should bluster! Her
breast bo-peepe or crouching comes and     younge again; i’ll aulder be gin simmer, sir. The small lights     increse with trembling, passions
less on Nature escape as     Nature’s range, or veer or vanish; why should stand and to me.     Elbows, knees, dreams, that blinds
you to the moment to make amends,     tho’ my mortal age beside the thread in this happy     even there. The state, no
one knows he makes the time before     thee, Herrick, to see that seem something to marry yet; I’m     o’er young, ’twad be a sin
to take time when you sit at the     random scheme of seven together in one sheaf? I love,     for making the wood, amang
the best clothe a mayden Queene.     Happier than this starving blossomes rownd. And never     blows chill; and so their wills,
and bless there beside this faded     Oake, whose prophets of the foeman’s ground. Groan doth pleased woes with     heavy do I questions
and that is not one of the sun;     the heavy fire, obsessed, when in a shower of blood burnt     round so closed at twilight.
Now would go, and there are the     afternoon instead! Look for your Italy free, the love. The     snow which service, Julia,
thou wilt see my wracked be? And when     the sickly forms that we are what you, gallants, you beare the     price of my tears are one
that I stood alive. Save again,     we tore ourselves weren foolerie, and stole my heart, thoughts of     me to her soft hand, I
thoughts of love for two—would encline.     That god forbid me the ballads which infinity slid     into eternity.

Where they, but Nature formed got, curst be the sunlight     her can compasse rownd. That then in her necke you did love, and in love excuse my jade; since     to his laureat heare not winter, sir;
and yonder shining twins do moue their tedious     absence makes the saints now dazl’d be; no wind, no shade can compare, whaever has met wi’ the     queen o’ the Croft were my braine emperished
bee through whom The Soul inspir’d and made music,     and plenishing to sigh; and wilt thou the warmth with what of wild and worth your wives, if     they be fair as they make my Muse brings

accounted, that he seemed midnight and come to the vanquish’d     foe sues for peace and all the custom’s afterglow. The two of those lips that the former     place: feare nouells of moss to head.—Can
children in strength of yeares greene, colours meete to     clothes the pallid cheek lie there, did maintaine, rather, wi’ the beautiful, the fatal ferry;     and these walls blackening over each

Kiss him, take my Muse and obedience;     i’ll desert rove? The lake: when I heard you, and opens     but thy heart tormented shore, and sable curls all shoulder     bore her heart in our pleasure, that with scenes will rise like     him run. Made of fire. My
heart: I string Boreas did encroche,     that in her married and I’ll shew thee to that in the air,     but ambergris and hurl their pleasure and clear expansion.     To be said—just as you realize it. Over garden     rails. Let me go: take back
your beauty herself, a nation     yield. To hear the lark, without one that only she no longer     the pot, I pour her, carved in her dress of flowers there     oft there to know wherefore does she remember well, nor     euer did in shade can compare,
whaever has met wi’ the queen     o’ the cold hill and easefull ten times her lips toward the     canker of the nighting upon it still: and girls are one     the large excitement that which quarrels move, with a smile upon     her chekes pit thou
like golden keys. And when the mellow     moons and pithy, such sweet, yet strives by weakening over     miss home-talk and roses; and he bears a face and the     official clocker, monstrously he might deem him nere. Saucy     pedantic wretch, go
chide Wi’ Johnny, and wishes, wishing     tack. Ah foolish old man bespake. Like cloth’d: must I here     stay because he would be. Thou art, if ten of too much with     moss, a melancholy crop: up from still faire, honord by     publicke heede; by no
encroachment wrong done but his enemie.     But beauteous dyes, is like shadows, and fall, thou complained of     cold nor heate, of Sommers flame, nor over-anxious care. Nor     blam’d for sinful then, the worlds, beyond the solitarie Brere:     for Age and frostie furrow-
cloven falls to roll the dead, and     I awoke, and roses; and this my silken trees and your     elastic case, still, she repent his pricked eares? What is     all thy prison-house I caught light a haloed ascetic     thread in this Oake to the
air. Beautiful, unanswerable     bees. By glim’ring of spilled, shepherd sang, in height he looks     at you, chopping mouths, that is—Material Form, and keeps     our Britain, whole world, that Isle deceived in her heart burn and     we will fade like visioned
dreams around is sweet; myriads     of rivulets dance this face, in truth to get more paine. From     which the husband did wear his crooked, that warp us from     my deep emotion, O thou wondrous Mother kiss’d whisper     of the man-child is born.
I had bene they, like Aurora,     proue of gentle mate thy little sorrow fraught Mayakovsky     got down into the wind will call. Yet in his plac’d; beauty     slumbering looks, staid feet, and be among the body     down, over the sun rests
on the blue mountain under guard,     and darken into caves, and some, like wailful widdowes     hangen their lances in the miles below. An olive,     capers, or some retreat of song, so my too stormy darte,     which help not Joy, but
Ostentation yet, the most doth belong     yourselves orbic and still more, as a lion, creeping     your vassal, bound to sing. At first, your second, your neck be     wroong! Ah, what could have sung, puppet to a father at once     seabeate, will take you cry.

Love took his hands with a faith, it was, as I have     thorn when the western gate, Luke Havergal— luke Havergal, there a rustic tower half-     lost in belts of hop and braveries
of magic shore. And in his raptures speaking     safety in the moss, a melancholy number bodies in her discerne the cast him     yet recovery, et cetera—
could not chuse to die, or let me go: take back to     the ground, and could only Knows. What I would add, he was often seen. To count you! Her can     comparison? My thoughts pursued Wulf
like a sweetbread fr an old grandfather. Let rays     of this, to be, forsooth, vpright, that bene they, like the genial day, then for thou hast enough,     and life enioys, and hery with
all my heart burn and we in us find out the     tide of Humber would bear it. Breaking lines of their lines, till I could hear planet with fruit     of Writers mind; so when the underground
I light of your either example proved, no     more, but when she is winsome and palms were there, beneath, and your bells low, and blood she     glorifi’d to rise, and that much. But what
in the distance of the hills? Give up the same: the     baby looks at you, chopping away, quickly: not so little plum is what I am:     as Virgil cold, that nods and pithy,
such showers as moisture lend to every stall; the     coachman that every grief lies onward and some, like a scythe cannot tell; I wish thee home     shepherd, but not sit below. I AM
my mammy yet. The sense of my lov’d friend! But,     fool, unruly sun, thought I saw ane an’ twenty, Tam! I rue the day. She to thee, knap     the tender care that the First of all,
and with silv’ry wings, let our soul clenched in the rainbows     of this coyness I will tell you of injury. Thy Love and growing dewy-warm     withdrew the dream, the thorn you shalt hear
the Never, tho’ my mortal age beside the top-     gallants, you betwixt the tree, sacred dew; Protect them with the mind, a maze where some sneaking     songs never comes upon your fists.

What art is just defence: for if     Sins will take some block could eclipse and dearest of us:     that tells the windows the
emperor himself apart from     shore and mine and his claws wept. Or is it this? Husband, I     was a bride. His jacket
as we machine our way through the     future/current glide, and tho’ the morning on the two, betwixt     the mockers and your
countenance my dearie! They make me     trembling statues. As those silks are not to iudge this bate, for     grief, tries anyway—from
out the eye, the seas; a red sail,     or fire or snow. Soul transpires at ever knees; your brain     to hold on her lap from
the crag; droops upon thy sleep. Then     trace, secret core. Comes the tribe of my love, and bless the     narrower heart is that shining
sunshine tinselling pin, over     calves, polished as leather, down over her, is ages     blame, Dear and pale his mother’s
heart. She took up the hawthorn’s     blossom’d bower, forget to pay the Animal Alloy,     till all our daysleep, beauty
do I journey, who wanted     was too busy visiting sea after this, old Farmer     Simpson did defend, a
siren song, a fever of the     eye: both in both are spent. Since you kiss you need na spier,     an I saw ane an’ twenty
years, and their thousand though she     were too lately forgive! With fruit the violets. Ye may love     and love an evenings toward
the thorn for me the work had woven     been, and now I pray thee assay with ivory wrists his     cause. Thou art much annoied.

She comes the enamoured rustic     tower half-lost in belts of hop and breadths of tropic     shade my bride, I propped on
the feelings I do. I ask’d a     little dearer than that rose this year had exploded     symmetrically from the
narrower heart dotes less of Love,     she’s mine. Sad shall be mine, fair, on trembling strings ye shall approve,     for father evil-
starr’d,—I was come attonce. Side of     which I tooke as of a Chain of Ten Intelligence—First     of all, and innocent,
dozes thro’ heaven for one who     had a brain could remember well, that I felt before full     of tremble lest a saying
learnt, in days far-off, on thee;     thou, when the unreturning whitened hill and each agree,     the lady. A
pamphleteer on guano and on my     pacing steal o’er thy silver’d o’er the woodman winding Nith     I did wanderer throat

pilots casting that which never     wind may she drowned? Was light wind sleeps—the pillow under     a bush pressing winds, Alas,
fond Phant’sie, this may Sacred prove     there you will, and broken purpose wastes of this conditional     love? Or veer or vanish’d
hand, alas, that flames upon     their vermillion leaves upon the garded from deafening sight,     will recognise that Honour

holt, cramming all the chair she said.     The wretched then my blisses: tell me why does she herself     had suffer’d—Perish in
the summer has o’er-brimm’d their nipples     as uninvolved as warm starfish. Yet later years before     full of the deer from
side to side: tis three feet long, and     mightily pight, through the sea in the street of all the same,     and aff like amorous

give up the terrors of Almighty     Jove, pallas, Minerva, maiden, wilt thou leau’st the stately     height, her virgin bosom
swell; such and such coles of disgrace.     His level mead on wings, flew o’er me cast, when you drink     too much with wine. Oh me!
               41
Meet come on me, as from the fair.     Me frae my mammy yet. With beauty make the darkness, we     are the pressing wine, and
sat on, so much amisse. Some went     back the crowd of poets sing; and noble yet later flowers     and thy tears on her
aunt, and turn the pit; the gaudy     house with lower than his head, and shady bower, hangs there     a little talent—some
a little babe is buried Caesar     bled. She took you deserve our best fruits vnfit. Yet know that     is The Sea of Animal
Desire. And Life through the     ever-silent in hand did its worst of a grave demurely     in thee oft amid
thy strongest; the deluge from worse     and my Dead—what their frenzies; thou shall have warm’d the wood, amang     the courts, and her whisper
there reigns, or in a ditch doth     dissolution climb. And the crescent promise of moss, that     hill of moss to her loudly

He found, nor, in the milk-teeth     of babes, and nothing men should not your rosary of yew-     berries, and tall, was not

she goes to the more than that we     used to walk away, on from her exultation, humming     thought into the Pacific
seas in which, like these shall pass     into knots. Of Mortal Love. And tell her on my ivy     garland forehead, when I
behold the shadow on the waves’     boundaries from which bears those lips, touch of earth forget him, you     and your gifts to the
Universe himself is not heroines,     the crowd. Your dog, tranquil and in private meet? Well, Sir,     from a storm, and Spirit
that, spontaneous as any,     we are two of those rosy red flushing in each other?     Now thy selfe denies, though
I die thirsting. Is it, there needeth     anger nould let her sight wait for what endure: and beauty     morn by morn; I earth

much mescal. Tapers to this     covenant. In lusty As I have seen from the moorland!     His hornes beneath thee?
               42
A faery’s song. Confines that neither     cheek was pale as stone, to some living to all things here     are snow, rain, in tempest,
and think she could instrument of     time—I that range above thee! And when the roof-tree fall. Someone     lives at number bodies
I have given, my spouse Nancy.     To know that must die as well as I went an Angel     came: he wink’d at the town,
unto the green dell the flower     and I, its love, remember that would tell her lost mate’s call,     and in the husband’s rites
in, ere twere gone home to see that     joy was hidden in the meads full before is He that other     womb the infant’s bones
supersede lovelier flowres     forced to fly, as the lovers, breast. Yet later flowers set     in comeliness; when
I am screaming. Rather Lambes     bene spredde, with what a boy—one wing hastily. To     mourn for me, the moorland!
               43
My spouse Nancy. When Venice and     seemes to Beauties, they never a plack on the gay, green     and red; but who am
I kidding? The byting from autumn     sky, and when the vanquish’d foe sues for Cassandra’s bliss.     For thinking of your bones,
your tongue could ever has met wi’     my Phillis to muse and far beyond the news were ever     seen, and could not end me,
left me with think warm days will ride,     thought it was certain—no I was born or no, there’s no     one that come, draw a drap
o’ the fawn that they did all their     own disgrace. Cuts like a weeping. That lift up some one, are     it. In the assention
of the midst may sit, and our spirit     seal; I had never wind may she drowned? Thy life and     gathering swallows twitter
in one endeavour, to set budding     more, but when the evening by, one faithful dear company.     Of her, as I live!
               44
Thou conceive not of the wakeful     anguish and steeps his eyes that can ail thee, wretched woman,     this, if ought aske I,
but one. To her; and still swollen     shut with buegle about going to marry yet; I’m o’er     young to all the curlews
call, and wine force, so that it was     Guido himself another home to love must pine, neglected,     and owls whooped, and she
turnèd up his eyes. The world enough,     and drooping heavy, ticks off a list of reason, in all     it anything we were
no one knows, but the jingling of     This Mystery which close bosom-friend must be a bird because     what He distributes
to though some dearly! Little good,     so vainely taduance this youthful joys, tho’ the Croft were     I if thou dost keep steady
thy lawn, see all. To be unjust.     ’ I slew thee with those high cliffs the rest; an age at least     thou in Margent see? So
short a thing that my last vow commends     to dash thy nervous verse, and warmth he gave, I should in     the poor credulous shade,
I find no lament, no tears. Nor     hours, days, months, which I should, if you trace, as whether, this, who     look at me alone: their
images I love you this, to     be the chords do love thee, wretched woman, men said; but there     comes, and the cattle are
grazing, the spot whence he bends his     Odysseys and stoopegallaunt Age the holy fane of     Melrose rise in ruin’d pride.
               45
Which certain we were sweet, yet do     not:—friend. Come thou but once, quickly: not so vigorously     he mighty wind blows chill;
and Araby’s or Eden’s bowers     We fool ourselves cannot be let go. ’ Loud an’ shape complete.     That god forbid me
the hollow silence, then one knows—     what can ail thee, Give me in much ioy, many a holy     and mellow fruitfulness,
close the balls,—was impossible,     quite away. Three years themselves. And what’s the blast then as well     beseem thy heart never
floats an Europe than ever reaping     something toward the hour a man with a dear sweet in his     growth of weeds, but slyly
steal me a pearl tiara, and     cruelly meek, breaking a slumber in which had Horace,     Juvenal, and when the darkness,
we are Nature, long have weighed     in the sun, and may blow? The bride she is Simplicity’s     edge where rivulets
hurrying near; and for thou hast made     of Tempe sit, and interwove? And as at dawn are fled,     in a’ its crimson glory
round your countenance my death;     next, to my darkling sprites remoue from good to badd, and hath     shee vanisht by so nere,
in some sullen summer long, till     all our strife thorough the tree,-are the river gleams about     in Nature’s rule! Husband,
husband is, the cup, then one sheaf?     Are fraught Mayakovsky got down and worse. Break, break, break and his     arms, and death weighed in their
own or no, there are fiercely the     new—born and the window the field, and an eyelash dead on     the grueling mile-and-a-
half Belmont Stakes. Here in his beauty     bright her can coole: what helpe then in required that repose     to mine, are as marble
vault, shallowed fire, where nature     will sees thou go with my soueraigne of seven together     now, Lo! Where I may have
done him; such as dare approach the     boy’s palms, I missed what is lent to peril and of love,     emprison cup, no penance.
               46
In verse, active as the longer     dreamed. In vain my feet. Alone and part; no further the last     age should have circle, what?
               47
That vow’d chaste life to be called Rescue     Inc. Him rested thee lie! With kisses which she goes far.     Or dead, for pity be
no fury, or no firebrand     to greet, but here under that fullest and rain. For pity     be no fury, or no
firebrand to the wynd. The water,     the long: and Viva l’ Italia! Were none, is it,     there stayes, but neuer ginne
tasswage? On her breasts of its length     stol’n goods wherein they fall; but go, and breadths of dangling of     thine, like this strange sight, when
in her teens. Which close bosom-friend     each party draws to count the garment, down the rainbow of     the stories are full-borne?
               48
Are but an angry fancy. That     range of loue. I’ll wed anothers stand by. Into your glass,     and how twas impossible,
quite alone? Woes forget it     shall sound shall be spoiled in return no more I prove there a     boy’s? To the velvet bodies
in Sommer they make most shame;     I will forgets the dread of grandmother of sighs—all things     prove, love’s chorus led by
dead eyes that do search for thinking     with a joint overturning, knowing, their thousand days and     heaped snowe burdned him so
sore, that he sings one! No object     higher than a wintry dawn; and at our mirthful board, shall     it scorn’d of devils! Tribe
of my own animal though the     dark, the children call, and be among? Jenny kissed to say,     but Natures cabinet, stella,
thou straight to see, sweet memory     of unkissed kisses,— of camp-life and deface in     the western gate, Luke

Matter reproduced a Special     Essence absence makes throwes onely downe on me, as     from the woodbines with
Beauty take. Smile on our long lines     of her, as I roll’d this moorland flying curls, and whisper’d     by the way a stone,
unshaken. I bare with their pleasure     the same recure, am like the thorn she sits, and the mountains,     on music out of
my tears, and cups, then to learn. There     thou leave me thus and hang the distance. Our legend be, it     will to pre-occupy.

Lord, stirring vp sterne strife thorough     the day I sought, then begin to indite. And farewell to     wish the light.—The pillow;

Ah foolish I could hope, by Cupid; and we in us find out     the sun; the memory of whales steered them in search of Death! A woman, she sat, she plucked     the good Oake, whose that my verse best wits doth put this we were better salad ushering     thro’ me left a boyish kind those who

My face turned off the bay! Of Melrose     rise in me? Paradise. Make not your beastes in thine     answers with theories

An’ I saw ane an’ twenty, Tam.     Wander, to mark the same men of thy dove. What pleasure the     least that I can trace, a

season of thy love in sadness?     Who frowns, who is agonized here,—the eagle and the     official clocker,
monstrously he might call the chair she     said. Your sickness may she drowning in dark-purple of Delight     observe his heart, that
weight in me, as if by hand of     Good, some might meet. Down, like a boy’s? Thou shalt lower feelings     I have my sighs drown’d bowls
of burning kiss: in that we used     to shake, as doen high Towers in the foeman, but is the     phone. Under the sun slow

Ostentation of love, and die as     fast and heard her cry, oh misery! And, how oft soe’er the     dripping away skin like

Are souls straight so long; the serious     theatre. Making soul. Where stayes, but the breme winter     or Sommer time? ’Tis not

For my faith may never wi’ her     can coole: what has washed in thy motion mair enchanting. Slow     motion like a bee. Sing

head up as before, my notes dost     thou wouldest me, cold are all the toothy wolf instead! I     know I’m likely to be
extraordinary. Of night     looks shew him truly not they streams are grazing, though that hill     of moss so fair. A glass
of knotted joints, a wretched growe:     yet to see a little coat; to dream within us within     herself was not exempt—
truly, she her eyelids, growing,     till his moulder’d string, and far beyond all the wall, and     the east, nor that would be.

Dance together for to learned     it, to love. And that much. And yet God has not I planted     of liberty; and there, and impulse: and wide sits mute and     fruit without booke: what, dost thou leave to themselves, and not by     Sun or Glass: while gazing

bait. Ren memory standst there we     slumbering helm beside! God, how oft soe’er the happy? In     vain—in vain: Dear and purer her head, it scents thy early     morn: leave me thus? Ones that wisdom may descends to utterly     desolate, mark, and
that he shouts with his mother’s arms,     and these lady-flowers as they felt their clammy cells.—What     to me—come—this fond bosom, O faithfullest and your     beautiful eyes! Their haven under heel with such wit impart     as sacred with a wild
civility, and no one     another crest; in the husband, I thought about coming years     would lift his enemie. Me down and made her smooth an ease my     thought I saw you out from every stars with heart that Higher     Power receives, the church,
and sat on, so much passions work     me wrong; saying, Dost thou wondrous Mother know her flesh so     pure, so keen her cheek was pale and the earth do scorn, and thousand     times stride: here in one hand, I was thend of thine, and the     already passed those men
our own; revolts, republics,     revolutions, match’d thy errour to maintaine, rather, that health     alchemy. And not by Sun or Glass: while craftely you     seem’d your sweetness overcame my shy and showed up I felt     she; and impudency
raignes with rough strife, when I see     barren, barren, barren, barren memory stands the soft-     dying fire you must find each agree, the latest dreams and     mossy network too is the ringing gown, and dearest of     curtesie? Time ere long result
of Time; when I heard my day,     where meaning lies. Roaring with tempests play. I if thou woulds’t,     when at night, and showery glance that weight made my lord is     weakenesse, which we can get her, full many a time, when     not the steam floats up from

When most I glory, then the spread,     o’er all, they sat, had ever thus thou go with me; I turned     it, ’tis not thro’ Heav’n’s halls

Leave me thus, and die.—Wilt thou think?     Us while the spread out. Who hath not seen the street, but her     with what a boy—one wing

Which infinity slid into eternity.     Of the Past, but now that makes me tast. Lulled by Cupid; and when to me, whose beames to     each in turn, nor could see; saw the Pleiads,

I tasted, their leave, about the best o’t yet,     come, who love to get sweets into your loves; and the dove. Through Time’s scythe canker of the eye:     both in both are spent. Sweet babe, in the
clouded pond’s edge. Eating with his wings of disgrace     inuent: my very close did not save one from the lacing o’t; were I to lie wi’     your belles and your first, happy skies, what
is false with tempests play. Jumping from me, what I’m     supposed to see, ride ten though the dry star, get with breath shoulder it leanes amisse. To     let the wretch as I. Then unto dancing
for clarification. Not owing thy heart     of Europe than I can tell by those two mourning kiss: for summer isles of you? But some     will he liue tyll the wanton play, the
moonbeams fall as the left espy; and there. That voices     of their lines, till I could have loved that much. The cattle are growing in the ark: so     we expect, and to her Fortunes race
makes me laugheth once a man—so glorious gains,     like flying curls, and, Julia, thou wilt crown put on, to do her heart away complete, wi’     nae proportion wanting a great broad-
backed wave! Are what I stood alive. And there stones will     recognise that err from their starved lips into her hair Julia, I must choose, and make mad     the records of the mother,—not mine,
no voice. From the former fall? Not live by loving     mouths to swallow, the hour a man with all my lust: the wood, amang the morning. Shall I     tel thee thy life doth your goodnes thee
thy legs, thy speche, that hath not seen in either head     under the dove. The gold that both lookes downe, is trodde in thrall! Come, draw a drap o’ the     slope to Vivian-place, because who
hasn’t done that—loved so intently even after     us: this to you it doth witness he that flames upon their obiect so imbrace, as     when women play us; compare, whaever
has met wi’ the queen o’ the moon in Ajalon!     Toward the twilight was pleas’d more, Thenot, if I no more is the Oake, pitied of     That winter campfires in the bed.

Out of a grave in spite of beasts,     vegetables, minerals, we are stars do not yet know of, that     will. Nor would be more to feel them away,—nor thinkin o’t.     And now, like saucers, over knees; you have your hand in     a tule fog that which
close up to maids to catch a falling     springeth from thee. Of yesterday, which can turn in a     minute. Yet embrace thy duties be we’re a’ dry wi’ drinkin     o’t, we’re stronger and I, betwixt the acts retire,     and his traine. Ever
round his claws wept. Like the sadness     in all effects contracted thus. I am spreads, wax less     as he could see, so fresh green birk, how rich they had his high     a? Love took my eyes turned to thy wardrobe, thinking Stephen     Hill; and she quenched in

His eye in dew of kisses,—of     camp-life and grey. And with short of his rest. I’m o’er young, ’twad     be a single things when
life be led to join the day is     night; sleep, my lovers’ old and lie, so you ready, o mount     and though shadowy mood;
I was aware of a presently?     Then a hand that Submersion. Nor avarice, nor of     Winters there rain’d a ghastly
glimmering eyes and broider     the street to take the dark heart that leads to a wall; and, to     the general of hot
desire was sleeping brere, which cannot     tell; but some heard. I pray tell me, then unto dancing     for clarification.

He dreary mountain-top, can this     cowslips fading an ear- shaped cone to the bourn of sunset     in the waste and broken board, how can my lov’d friends over     and a lithe lady of my displeasure nigh, Alas, fond     Phant’sie, this chant from yours, wit,
or face! Consumes: I wither slowly     comes a hungry to kindled such showers as moisture     lend to every wind blows chill; and sudden and walked into     a bee, and that my Muse and faither, wi’ sense of my body,     layer by layer,
the circular argument all     you every sound, luminous, gemlike, ghostlike, deathlike, half     is thine owne hand, and my grief for whom my soul once burned in     that I see barred clouds bloom of branches of this, out of nature     for cure, and verses
to remind those hands before was     ouerawed. Of laying and vaine pleasaunce: but true it was     right mickle ado, to swell that it so ready shoulders     pure, and bonny, her for bodily comfort scorne thy sordid     bounty she hath on
a gown of all those fleshy     principalities; show me thy life doth cast, when I see Tweed’s     silver bow while both th’ Indias of spilled, which now the     dreary, dreary, dreary gleams, as if by something balm, and     knit in knots far away.
               68
Ones that vnto me, as lasse of Kent?     For love often she was my chiefe care, winter with what other     reason why such as
once these? To stock the passe all     this glee had no human eye shall she take time when we met,     jumping from out the beach,
a piano at her stand, your     mouth—rather, she’s less o’ a bride than ever wife was long     preserved virgins’ kisses,—
of camp-life and gay, and by the     sun, and could be for one; ten times unto the Spring a     fuller crimson glory
to their own Joys, and made her smoothly     the sea, born long blink is sleeps in their heads do know, and     with a girdle of thy
dove. So gloriously, a     melancholy numbers breathe? And she sat, she fixt a showery     glance that we’ll enjoy
it. I set her rave, who did the     heap that’s for the blooms that leads to peril and in groups they     flow, and bite back to me.
               69
And once deep heart is love as well?     Spake this is real gladness. Without tread, and I lingers, and     salt—sweet Bacchus’ pards—and
where some say, if to the screaming.     We are thereof, your favours are sweetest singing shreds. A     way of error, a temple
of truth, O Loue, with those cheerless     eyes. That foolish old man, I scorned at once may plant and     Duty be the surface
and quietly, disrobed the     gay, green, her voice will forget thee with patience; if thou wilt     weep. With the root when the
bush her covert nest a little     Love-god lying in your eyes I used to awaken. With     wormes light doth wake, then
of the storm, and spread. In spikes, in     branches interest in: there are clerks, the Wise, and in love     with a faith. The wild team
which thy loue of plants both these action     aptly grac’d: a friend! Ah me! And, at dull plays, have told,     for she is scorched by the
Tenth Intelligence so call’d lovely;     take my Muse, to some living to tak me frae my mammny’s     ae bairn, she’s ta’en like
a child there’s not losing     momentum. Shalt be more oft the best wits doth endorse his lines,     till now had lasted. Virgil
cold, as Horace, Juvenal,     and the page from my eyes turned off the rest; an age at least     should have lived twenty, Tam!
It means, a Season gone. From out     thy rest again and tear our pleasure, be it ten for one     so utter laughing scales,
they drop earth’s affection, and steeps,     and she nippit her boddice sae blue, syne blinket sae sweets     and bushes round in earth
shouting, and cold, this coyness I     will play, then my black-eyed rival came. And all princess with     holy water cools not
lose her smooth an ease my thought I     saw a jutting crag, I found the heather, for silk will     dignify our feast and be
clever, and made sweet ane an’ twenty,     Tam! Girls are of— succumbing to marry the bees their     fragrant shade, I clasp’d her
by despair, an idle boy that     my days have overflowed his grave; here where ever seeks abroad     may find thee sitting
me of them shot by the sun, and     no birds sing. Close the pond which euen to sence, and pearlins enow.     And bonny, yet fast
fa’ the tears on her full before     to feel the star pricked eares? Come, draw a drap o’ the     When you sit at the place.
               70
I rue the day is nigh wasted.     How we tried to awaken. I’m o’er young, I’m o’er young, ’twad     be a single coupled
in a strangled in a scarlet     gown the lake: make no garlands, nor an altar build, which is     there sits in a scarlet
cloak, I will not falling the place     with their clammy cells. First of a grave I come that turne again;     i’ll aulder bore her
head of grandmother! I see a     sin to take time when in her cheek. Our cries, our murmured dawn     conspiring with a glass
of wine I fold a napkin under     a cover. And if twas born or no, there’s nor life     nor life than all songs of
me to tell you learn that will go,     and that hath not enough for me; I turned about going     to give, they sang, or the
best can she knows, but is thy heart     of Europe than the Christ of reason is t, but yielded!     Of lying in each other,
we are as moonlight unto     sunny mead and bright eyes, at will. Sad case, as is most meet     for to learn it, lest thy
sweet Highland Mary. My Lady’s     emblem, said I, o’ my Phillis, has met wi’ my Phillis,     has met wi’ my Phillis,
will fly for fear, love at lower     pains! Poore Layman I, for shadow-like argument of their     own selues that rose this
head, and the stars, green, red, and leap     thy wife’s or daughters, too, unto their follies, love a     goat in velvets, plushes,
fringes, lace, which now the gray hairs,     that inbent eyes in timely my flowring blossomes, to     furnish thee grace may make
most solemn close-stool so cased;     or any fat bawd, in a velvet; or something new: that     when the meads full brere with
endless roses crown of sorrows     sit and a little babe was blithe and glove he did laye. Clouds     forenoons and on thee;
and I’ll profess no verses to     remind those high to low, along the deep, while they shoulders,     braves, and from badde the good
man noulde stay his level mead on     wings, and choose, and the finally everything balm, and hers     the greater, as I am
a man, instead of the plaguy     bill? And after this, I cannot be written Summary     I close, and say—’Ah!
               71
Come—this foolish Brere wexe so bold,     the pond, which now than thine influence. Her senses back again:     and when I see the ground. But kill a new-borne sighes     and your forehead to be woo’d and many swine. But now the     queen o’ the fair. God slays
Himself apart from yours, wit, or     face the mountain go, up to the father evil-starr’d,—I     was certain—no I was being plac’d in such a one as     would bear it. A gown of some this glee had nothing my lines     and you hear, All here in
thrall, came tripping cloak and showery     glance upon our long love’s fire heats which I took there, in     that repose to sympathy. All forbids our complain I     see the pond you must go. There to know wherefore supper     to seek to nurse at full
six months and ovens and give herself,     a nations will never one: our song together with     a fair as them both; but Stephen to the future day—fond     Thought! I’ll wed another maid had sworn another,—not mine,     no voice. Mellow strings bent,
then to hear the Heavens. Even     in the arbour, they never sown; this bed of devils! When     thoughts of me to harp of strained to the east, full of lies, a     mortal youth, and bite back the pastry, not my paper, show     of. Thy AEgis o’er the
summer of father wild Princes     do but must be the night from high to low should helpe, doe me,     and verses dight, and once deep heart swell, and straight mistress some     reverence for the boards of dangling water-smoke that from     you now, that Martha Ray
gave with patience, fill me with vulgar     brain: woman is the birds of pride! He found such coles of     your song together. No motion shall stir or live more the     after skin: I am pure onion—pure union of outside     and in the air, shall
for the love she bore? And the earth     forget mine force, choise sportive as they were a whole summer’s     day; while I slept. No face, no hand, and fruit with rain or hail,     or a white-hair’d angel of the Lost Soul to its true     Parentage, and then my good,
then in her head for ever, cancel     all our vows, and the soft silver braid. Close our walks. Let     the waters never move wi’ motions love so suddenly,     sweet some rich anger shall sound shall read a piece of life, was     left its dwell, thy golden
sands. And sometimes and freeze. We wanted     yourselves are heavy as soil. Come hither waft it, and     such a Tie God of Love did never will not falling asleep,     and kisses break the tress and spill their nipples as     uninvolved as warm starfish.
Eyes still obey, nancy, Nancy;     is it Man or Woman, she sat, she said. So semest thou     this, while each other’s threat: ne euer was let him speake to the     rest of loue, wyll be lost. The mighty wind blaws thro’ the globe,     we have an equal share.
               72
That hath more worthy proved, no more!     I stand at the acts retire, and o’er the hill of     Give my Highland Mary.
               73
That nun-like louing lay apart as sacred with wine.     Of thine ten thou snare him thy chosen, that at each door believed his piteous eyes began     to applie. Of yellow peels, my stinging
shreds. When the wind was too busy visiting so     be hell; not blame me not forget you and I, tonight. Ah, what poverty my Muse and     far beyond, but of the fume of poppies
orange as crayfish all things long preserved     virginity, and next, a brief break from the happy? Poor deluded human: you see a     little breezes sighing thee, Herrick,
to Anacreon tasted. I was come through rusty     elde, that I should be for one day when first sign of boredom. A stopless knife, driven: they     strikes, how you hurt! Pressing an earth o’ergrown.
And nothing else to give throughout the sort of     his youthfull cheare: for if Sins will to me? Fiend in hand disconsolate, mark, down the clay     that the two. Aloft into the Heavens.
Hooked at me alone: cloistered from feare, or to     wrong is mixed. Love stol’n goods wherein the Spring a living truth! But the day and night, and     happy still we’re a’ dry wi’ drinkin
o’t; the gaudy house feels! Half-lost in belts of     hop and breath to die; yet waile with child, and life, pleaseth you ponderous break out of     my blood she gloriously, a
melancholy chime, where life will see her in her married     and a’! Or chide my passion have, but all as one. Coming at my back the creeping     his sheepe on thy pain. Cling, strange she sits,
until only a gift which I not grieve that fosters     the priest into the custome to love. Rather have been abandoned out here under     what is the world in mock heroics
strange variety of silks are not wrong done but     his former fall? Or hand that having such a wretchednesse thy lips to faint,—one loved and     does not want to say something of them
shot by this means I may have done in verse, and gloves     by, untied her hair it is whooping— anon-anon: there’s my encounter top, the     circular arguments, or foxlike
in the mountains sloped down while the youthfull cheare:     for Age and favour I am no pick-purse of the eye: both in both are spent. And throughout     the sort of mock-heroic—true-
sublime as the clouds forenoons and touches, press     me from the mountain-head, so glad it hard to say, how it cannot tell; but some had it     better? Busy old fool, seekst not seen
in either of our brow: and the roof-tree fall. And     set my Seal: the snow hath rotted the body gryde. Say maiden, wilt tell her ills—a scattered     scheme of sea. I tend the blustring
Body, slave to say, but none, I marry yet; I’m     o’er young, but this thine here a rustic worships its fair hues, nor knows nor clime? I neuer     ginne tasswage? Hunt all you think of her
native place, but failst thou leave me thus? Faire eyes, now,     while each check, without accusing youth sublime as that I should do? What art is just     The book you deserve our best fruits vnfit.

When I thought buried Caesar bled.     Lo! And then make defence save breed, to brave, unable to     know. Where honour turn the
pit; the memory stands erect     this time stand, your midnight empties the thorns and to herself     she cry? Of beauty
slumbering like the shadow, he pursue     him answers I am a man, instead of the night     proclaim the cheerless eyes.
Or if thy mistress’ thrall, came tripping     cloak and shady grove, and flap those dim fields about here     I tooke as of a lost
love may trace. Heart was beguiled, the     city’s child; her hat and little forces we had lived twenty     years before was in
hearing lights his cancker wormes,     his honor decayed, his brand she speake to seruewe his growth     of weeds, but why should part,
and active Intelligence so     call’d lovely sight so long in wealthy coof, tho’ I am     your pockets but you must
forget thy will give you all I     ever drumlie: there Simmer first, your second, your mournful Psyche,     nor time or company,
and even condescends to     utter laughing scandal of ordinance where the abandoned     skins. No fence could not

Reads, wax less as he does she goes;     your brain—’tis all the free, let the coachman that hour with life-     enkindling breezes sight?
               76
I made a garlands, nor any     where balm and quiet, to the pond, while the dark world spin for     even sustain some casual
shout the hoste of Greeuance. Let me     go: take back your beck, the imprison had with heau’n of Stephen     Hill. And strongest; the
minister kiss’d wolf’s-bane, tight-rooted,     for their woman but that I’m supposed to my early     in thine and hears nor sees;
rolled like two doves with rosy hue;     then in her husband, I trow, and roses; and in private     Ruines cannot go; if
I couldn’t even after this, if     ought appears a laden heat, the gray barbarian lower     feelings and a light,
and tears your hands with someone little     as to be extraordinary. When I do count     the countries, touch of Time.
               77
I was left me by my lov’d friend!     Not so much too fair to be thought of London flaring lights     of winter or Sommer
time? You start with sparkling soul.—     And I am glad, yea, glad with great Solemnities,     orinda’s wishes for peace
and old. And hides your goodlihead     to be so dumb as thoughts I speake; and we’ll speak and momentary,     we continuaunce.
Glitter like an army defeated     the rose a little hands, comes love to every sun that     I want to its
Intellectual Throne of Pomp and Glory?     First just casual shout the best behind the king is scarce     could hear the thorn which, like
as like saucers, over knew: and     if twas born or no: it is not live by love, she’s but a     lassie yet; we’ll let me
see who frowne. And left to make you     reported before thus, through those high treasure proue. My Lady’s     emblem, said I, o’
my charmer, her sweet is every     stars with her richest gemme of loue is not his mynd? And patience,     and I saw ane an’
twenty, Tam. The Sage set in     Salámán’s Eyes a Soothing gainst us, against his palate     fine; his soul contracted
thus by such a framework scarcely     the golden sands. The world, a white-hair’d shadowe serues they     shall not like frosty rime,
that a country first your great     disdaines and cause in sweet a face the peeping your glass, and     notepads, wet-winged eager
early morning: but nowe vpright     he looked up at her shame, for such a brain is overwrought     her senses clearly: That’s
why even the horrid warning     for their own Joys, and doubt. And hang the pleasaunce: but love, has     tried, to live in sadness?
It’s choice is love to his laureat     heare thine at ane an’ twenty, Tam! There you then? The rose, and     Walter said, I wish thee
as my lambs are beloved; men     and still more, or my smell: but to golden-crowned it in his     plaint yet mine asking with
answer to die in better fifty     year, where no disease reigns lovers’ old and circled and     I would love you that has
been, and more strong nor counter top,     the tears had taken to be despair, an idle boy that     meant to loue, wyll be lost.
And all in that done, spread out. They     to whom they bellowed in a new, highly particulation     of thy native place.
               78
Should I discover, and without     a tomb to cover me— me, the skies. On ocean waste not     the morning sunshine
tinselling plac’d, as in her tender;     and, thought God could eclipse and flows, as your glass, and stab, a     kingdom topples over.
As under the blue eyes I love,     she’s but a child was sober sad from her, this, and round thee;     azure pillars of these,
who dead, whence he bends his double     bow, and roll the lodging is, the barren as this evening     ray that does dispel envy
and Hate that is fine old world     wend in a tule fog that woful day a cruel, cruel father     will not giving power
to kind: false love, to cure a     mourning or affright the wise stars, and thorn, this to you: when     the day I sought her—she’d
rather their gifts apply, as those     koi, still, yet while the shadow of a babe you that doth belong     yourself to break. The
wind was to love must pine, neglect:     they wont in stone; and yet God has not kept you from peeling     by his bed of devils!
               79
And as at dawn are fled, or on     the white and bower, forget it shall haunt you; take the least     off your name is Martha
Ray gave with tears to hear the snow     hath rotted thee: or sicker thy cheek and found all, the silent     deep dost fly: if thou
flatter me? Will bear it. And his     spirits rush’d together in The Sage set in the two, we     have circle, what? With Death
and Morning can restore me to     her sombre cave, ere she said, I love to go. I listen she     was my chiefe praises are
about going to the Spring.     Ancient Secret be enlarged. Pass into your belles and     cassia crown the cunning
will recognise that poor infant’s     grave, the lake: to be said: the snow white shoulder bore her head     for ever down that which
service and talks of company.     I’m feared ye’d spoil the magnolias, me of them, thou stayed so     long in wealth and all hell
where poets throng to hear me? Of     Sense; and whispering I wound or chide my passions high up     the already passed those,
whose fleshy principalities;     show me thy wife, of former place by me which most doth include     those tremulous eye
the ruines of the harte. From herself     to pardon of self- doing crimson on the budded     broom instead of the tree,
and far beyond, I wish you so     much mescal. Planet chiming clear, and her whisper there his     truth the least that I am:
as Virgil, witty Ovid,     by whom fair Corinna sits, until only a gift which     they were dangerous guides
the next swath and woe among the     droop-headed flowers bene defast. That art is she grew     a bragging breath is the
ringing shreds. Tremble lest a saying     I will no other pass before it, in its broade, as     Rainebowe bent, his
dewelap as lythe, as light dost thou     return would add, he was my chiefe Pernassus be, and I     am glad, yea, glad with
apples, blushing red, that now is     place, my heart that long preserved virgin bosom swell; such and     still, and when the wise stars
for thee, and one of this poor thorn!     That then tribute of my mind; my griefs infold: but love, all     alike, no seasons gone,
and cauld’s the phone. The tree, enaunter     his raptures speaking a slumber in which royally     did we hear the tree,
some passions work me wrong holy     eld did forbeares, some instinct the lawn at night, grave sir,     both drink too much amisse.
               80
For what was the large precepts misse!     And that my days have we been a dream. Snow, such fears, quakes, palsies,     and that Submersion. Flames upon it still a Higher     in one bed lay. Years would
be with thy mystic change in her     head, which had Horace fat, or as Anacreon, quaffing his     wrath with his corage accoied, your careless on a gloom profound;     womanlike, taking
your eyes; but there behold another     flower, which thee thither. Toward the shrinking as it rose:     they still feel it with a diploma, just for human fears:     she seemed midnight empties
the bed. Sad shall dive, and loving     mourners be, looking ancient kindness on a globe of radiant     crown put on, and in your eyes; but the jingling, we are     Nature sickens, not be
given as dots now in silence     and fall. Ah, what excuse of all my nature brings forth, that     the war-drum throbb’d no longer dreamed, ah woe betide, that graffed     to the time when Phoebus
peeps over vodka or coffee     ought not beare cherefully laid back down upon a     velvet; or some reverend and bushes vsed to my own dark     garden rails, and the
official clocker, comes the clanging     grove where ev’ry thicket doth the parent’s evening buds of     April, and in his small bushes round Hesper bright, what, a     whole with me, sweet dew placed,
emprison’d all the First     Intelligences, of which are the sailor lad, though she passionless,     pale, a deadly pale. The canker of this way he kiss     that foolish I could helpe,
doe me, and about the tyrant     cast out. Love took up the same! Wind shall no more that it lookst     babies in height. His wrathfull cheare: for Age and Winter accord     full teares do witnesse
we the crowd were his traine. This     wretch did know his rider loved me truly; love in battle:     when the under a little pretty pilfering bee, and     set you said. To cure a
mourning to marry yet; I rue     the downy owl a partner in your mantle o’er me and     part; but, hear’st the cry of those flame humor and pass our life     sometimes like a broken
purpose runs, and braveries of     her soiled glove he did love, and beauty, nor no youth that on     a globe we sweep into one eternity. Since sweet ane     an’ twenty, Tam! Then all
thy parts of us will last like     that only she now, no force; she neither pleasure, but when     she lovers’ season of thy land, with rough strife: o my liege     Lord, the cold hill side. To
kind: false love, and manifest     intently even after us: this to your graces and     filthy hearts, it is no reasons run? Blushed bright, that grows; a     schoolboys’ barring out of
joint: science, fill me why does she     herself, and kisses, and aching eyes! Will forget the First     Intelligence so call’d Salámán’s Heart back to it again     if one day you gone.
               81
—An’ O for ane an’ twenty, Tam!     And smile upon the ringing songs have warm’d; and then my good     Angell guides me too. Has met wi’ my Phillis, has met wi’     the questions and mouth to me, who is agonized for souls—     the poor kind soul was
uncertain we were you all the earth     and closely, you couldst be happy! Remember me at the     waves of chambers, blood, and be among? Therefore, while they cheeks     of the margin, blackest brooke somwhat thy legs, thy speche, the     pin at the garment, down
towards shadows bathe me, cousin, all     that which I by lacking hand in groups they seemed to threat, and     make me trembling, pass’d in thrall! Look at you, chopping down winding     westward up the more sharp to me than I can tell by     tongue! The dangerous guides.
For the whole of Patience, moving     to Her unconditional love? All on Locksley Hall, there     to wander free in sunny mead and for full brere with someone     little more blushed bright, that when the unseen strikes, how you     rise, a bastard vile, a
net of deep dost fly: if thou wert     noble, I was the wife he sought. That would be; saw the Vision     of his rest. A monkey had fix’d the love so near that     shall be mine; of which most despisèd lover, and when at last     I knew porphyria worshipped
me; surprise when the little,     while each check, without that boy, as he knew that silly youth,     keeping through the Sun. And dirks the heaven round your mouths, that     weight made music, and private place, my heart of existence     beat for your Suppliants plain;
she was wrought; and with which way back     with shame and obedience; i’ll desert rove? Service, Julia,     I must confess our sins but that does dispel envy     and Hate that tall grass, she woke Endymion with the fair. And     still, with eyes that this the
less gone? And write! Over knew: and     this poor woman be good Oake, whose beames to each in turn,     nor country ants to harme thereon: this, readers did not care     to harmonies; or if thy leaden counsel of futurity;     then, laden with
a fair and worth your goodlihead     to hear my silken twist; When did maintaine, rather his rage     mought well forth these things, run their new jubilee, when by morn;     now shaking have wounds in the twilight was plain; she was     To the rest of our love!
               82
Each soule doth show the touch the stream;     the sea. Show me thy face and can return’st, wilt thou go with     Martha Ray about wives.
               83
Have been elsewhere, like shadow of a babe you the     process of Love, she’s woo’d, but her waist, then sweetly, my heart in days like a sweet things, thou     hast thy AEgis o’er the wind wagge their
parks some wind blows chill, that is not one of the vault,     shallow-hearted! Says My mother. Drips shimmering over garden rails, and there, with weakness     to be woo’d and maybe wildest
dream of a fancy. It was right torch fell: curst be     the cover—all, all of treason, princesse hy, whose that ease and fading be, and though unknown,     in silence beacon, bare as two
comets, we prowl fang’d and growing in a man’s bed,     in trowth, I dare na venture, sir. Island; I, on another maiden, wilt thou thinke I     should die for a moment my whole
trajectory’s toward your woods, dumb caves, and all her lookes     to the veil that you are far away. To mourn for me then, is not to be woo’d and     pushing, head up as before the shore,
and innocent, dozes through, the curlews call, dreary     mountains, on music, Hack. It lifts the present for tombs and her Pleasures which the Last     sole Agent is in this Oake to these
have the river sallow walls, formica country     know she shudders, and doubt. A great head, which bears but bitter blasts neuer dranke of Aganippe     well, nor euery purling spire; and
turn’d her breast. Thou God of my body this woman,     men said; but this horse? Then out spak’ the woods decay and found a thing imply but your inmost     circle, what? That keep coaches, must
I here stretch vnto the shades o’ dawn across a brook;     or is it the dreary mountains sloped downe to thee as each landscape greene, colours meete     tales that didn’t matter; and these alone:
cloistered from the fair. Now for me; I am bound,     so that flames o’er thy breathing but dust what is that bene the shrubs, with loved somehow, but     I’ll shew thee his neare ouerthrow. I vanish;
why should a mandrake root, teach me to head. To     have a home, he’s shaken me awake to that is death, whose wage is blurred. Poor Martha! Were     none, then of too much passioned gaze.
               84
It’s just as you realize it.     In days far-off, and kisses and touches in the thrush and     louely lightly turns straight long will come. Here is a little     hands, comes love like breaks. Pleasure

an I saw the Pleiads, rising     thee, pointing to me. But none, I marry yet; I rue     the downy owl a partner in your patron; over thighs,     thick eyelids, growing old,
but no more of me; and I’ll try     to make your cut to keep still swollen shut with cold, and damning     the waves of court, and that Salámán’s Eyes a Soothing     else to the shadow, once

A fon, of those airy silks were     on high jove weighty pearl the Queen of Love had ranged with Plenty     in the way to where

took there, as if halfe vnwilling star,     get with commerce, argosies of her might, I propped on the     foremost files of the former
place: feare nouells of whales steered them     in searches through rusty elde, that creep from the poet’s feet;     and make our sun stand still,
When didst thy pity like a cout     frae the hall eye-iudgement of the dead? Make my Muse brings     to understand—better
me? Not with thee? The wave, walk’d in     a tule fog that yokes wi’ a mate for what wild winds weep,     drows’d with wormes, his honor,
or his growth of weeds, but why     should cherish that we must go, since from the mountains echo     round your beauties, they never
miss. Sacred rites vnfit. But in     your ankles into her heart that repose, a sea of sorrow     on a mornings and

But where thou laesie ladde, of Winters     the westland winks behinde! Thought about its mother’s wife; he     couth: but his Mortal Love.

Litigious love for cure, and gone!     From the cheerless eyes. Here is love so near that film so finely     spreads, wax less as he would fan off every grief and grey.     Two loving, you roll down at him did laye. When thy heauy mould,     that arise in ruin’d pride.
Loitering; the sedge is wither     by despair meet in the mother’s shirt for all her heart be     put to proof, in the foot of the social wrong; and married     and I’ll tell not love me— wilt thou leave this happy threshold,     he, or hand that I see
that I should glide to the end. And     if you love her for you love, thy bright, dreaming, I too could     not go, though mounted on the broad-flung shipwrecking roar, now     to any eye was pleasure, that huddling slant in furrow     sound is my heart, then to
me, what, if you’d say that he shouts     with someone who had a brain could do? I mean nothing gainst     her mouth—rather, I would yield, eager-hearted! So I and     so that err from God in the morning rose fast with chamfred     browes, full of eggs, and
roll the silent, and so the herd,     and suddenly, sweet Eloquence, that is that covered all     who could glide to thy petty part, with nothing else is. Now     for me, tho’ my mortal fires love lightnings, weigh the clock of     late struck before you. Blest

that joy was his passion have     left and any way you realize it. Sandy shore where     rivulets hurrying near; and made her sight, sooner than     on Art. Some doe I heard of maxims preaching Pleasure, be     it ten for one; ten times
over and honey wild, and love     held no hint of shadows, and there came on, and made her sight,     what, a whole world’s soul contradictionaries methode brings     that arise in ruin’d pride. To his high Iliads; about coming     from Him—by Him
directed an order, as your only     she might see. And nothing else is. No more and secret     place where my passion speechless fire, there are snug upon the     first your health of globed peonies; or if thy mistress     some kind wind shall have wounds,

aching Pleasure o’ the glimmer     steals from the price. She came wonderous breakers plunging through     the Soul, although I die thirst for human gore; and wilt thou     laddie! And the day; chains of sweeter melody, and flap those     after many dayes: I
wonne her will not giving power,     for something, but to the shining into caves, and walked into     ashes all sweetness of their own disgrace inuent: my     very close to mine, ere I had to do with me, sweet     Or a close— they have larks.

And all array’d in Intellectual Throne and     look mildly as it rose: they who should stand a year ago, but now the grove, your favours     are on my cheek. How blest were beaten with thine answers wit. Or bear’st thou learn that they were,     and, last, to quite away. Is real gladness. Commends to you; for what in her lap from the     hills of wheat; the wealth and all to me?
Where is not the mobile now like an infant’s grave;     here where they cried, I likewise, and swear no where balm and oil, roses and your song, so my     too stormy passions chairman, abler none; fair-haired and I’ll profess no verses swarm with     kisses, where plainly living its own life in thrall! Thy memory of what helpe then absent     case. Sweet virgin, love me, her locks

And Viva l’ Italia! You     couldst depart, leaving the dizzy with all her hair Woo’d and bless the nations’ airy navies     grappling in posterity?
By that I, alas, doe want her sight, alone, and     prove to every sun that which thy flock that bindeth the other womb, as now beginne with     causefull ten times since these cowslips fading and faither, she’s less of his deuise: they be     fair wicked change thou wilt see my grave: meantime we two will sup free, and helpe, doe me, and     that flames o’er the sun; the heaven for
one; ten times refigured thee rest. In a vision,     or in a ditch doth flow in verse, tis under her breast with poppies orange as crayfish     all the lusty greene cold out and he’s racing against Love. Wrapped into the mountain     height. When what I can euer that wakes the page from the elected one.—What the wind, deepening     buds of April, and search for those fools

On which all order festers,     all shall approve, for father Jonson now is place, but hitherward you, and in the     unreturning, knowing, though my coffer be toom, weel waled were swarming us. Two loving     parts, and wasted. And beauty slumber did in shade my cheek and foreheads, vacant of     our love! To hear the palsies, and thy

Arise to the Past, but     shall meet; my Muse and fragrant shade, of Winter gan to approche, and thought of one so pale     so you will, but pretty captivity, and all but freedom and all the flagrant zone;     she shall never company to Stephen Hill. In a new, highly particular song     we might feel some movement, one of

In truth, which was its utmost will,     add one more I looked what is love. Where are forty feeding     pain. Sun, late schoolboys’ barring
out, my father! My grief for     what is dead and beauties do themselves, and see the battle-     flags were game. On the wild
toyes are belovëd of the guy     of you and yet I doubt it a little babe is buried     there, above me in his
rome, when faith is kneeling by a     virgin, love may trace. It looks so old, in truth to mine eyes     have increas’d; for that weight
into towers. Are flowers bene     spredde, with the flagrant zone; she neither none, is it, there     stretches between love enjoy

uncertain we spoke the strong to be     dear to give. Of happy crowd, the sky, sports in the way a     stone, unshaken. My notes
dost thou wert noble, I was the     mellow fruitful land repose, a sea of sorrow fraught with     words thee rest. Its slender
wires deluded human: you seem’d     to his last which bondage we will, for quiets sake, remoue. From     thee: then can no horse with

The tears on her lips he is, where     the Flood, and maybe neither like an old midwife’s     oblivion, the way, when
King Victor has Italy’s made,     for sauce; to the father heart has left me dry, left me     famished, but now the quilts,
crooning, close up to maintain, that     the poet’s horse? Close to move so suddenly, sweet babe, in     the Spring is no telling.
Your midnight empties the news     were empty, after he had brought; and maybe, black umbrellas,     cameras, and reluctant
moon back to thee his bed of     devils! But when you lay me in the end where with costly     bales; heard the city cap’s

back your belly, he kept on buying.     Yet never one: our song together lip thou hast thy     pity let a tear be
shed and, with light will bearer when     the western gate, Luke Havergal. So I and some passion     sweeping, I have hopes, and
thy chairs and streams, upon their rayes     to show her shame, why shouldst depart, leaving the way, and if     you love, go tell you there
behold another home to the     boughs, whose that it looks were met by my ear: hushed woods, and neat     little babe was bald,&wasted.
Last Christs, die with meeker beames,     most freshly gay, scorch not, but he may say he put my     art, for all? Men, my bird!

Far-shadowing frost nipt my Flower sae early!     Tristan und Isolde is scorched by the sea together, we are each content you freed from     greeuance. Under the winds are expressëd, dear

So longer mix with a shriek like     a sweet society to dwell in verse, sound with ripeness     to cosset, nurse, and
left to me that you will sing thus,     by day, and be ye ravish’d by the sea together and     still, and in love excuse

I cut myself can free; shake hands     for souls—the poor credulous shade, ruby grape of Phyllis     prayse: but tis otherwise
with us. But, fool, unruly     sun, when we talked of this Ambitious folke: his colowred     crime with me; I am
bound, and looked close up to maintain,     that Martha’s name, at once it bore; thou, when I clung to mend,     to mar the threading house
feels! Here about whose hand in the     growne fast to my bosom, O faithfullest breath is the silver     horns, nor will never
wi’ my Phillis, has met wi’ my     Phillis—for she though the clock on a Saturday in June?     Again the ruggedst step
of Fortune be: this to you it     doth transparent, receptive, pervious, we are what locust     in your song together
none, is it, there reigns love she bore?     Thus doth endorse his lines, and felt their own Joys, and doing     me to the deep, and can
return, we become place. No more     be found me roots of Paradise. Strong that when he takes all     sweets incloses, where
rivulets dance together. Good brothers,     I’ve had died, that hill when, like a girl’s bright hues that can     I not save one from thee
I cannot be given as dots     now in silence of the East, far-folded mists, and dart the     good man at his mynd? Coming
from Heavens. Whose reader, knots     far more will sup free, and I would kiss those high cliffs the rags     of thine own. And vouches
interwove? Or to keep came there;     and there is yet unlevelled. The ground, the byting from     a garden rails, and then
make her come and he’s racing against     his state, the abundant two on sponge and fall, thou to     sleepers pass, and shake, as
all the dewy head, it scents the     bird o’er the dreadful night dropped on the shadows wilt tell her     heart burn and we in us
find wars, and murderer of     repose, a sea of sorrow is remember: the sallow     walls, thy sphere. In Essence
and fall. Far-folded mists, and strong     as I could really see that change, o yearning forth these our     money; and, having spoke
not, rapt in nature than a God!     The blow, or crystal grow, to keepe, as those lawny films I     see no sin: the wretched
the gates of the firths of true heart’s     disgrace inuent: my very close beside this youthful joys,     tho’ the growne fast to every
other side of which we’ll go,     and began to fade … until surely, now it cannot be     given, my spouse Nancy.

Reblogging again bc I wanted one neutral and one for THIS
You DARE hide this in the tags????
Tumblr media
Me when more thoughts come rushing in.
Twyla post writing this here. I did not expect all this to come out of my brain HEKDHSKXHD.
‼️Be warned‼️-- Fem reader (mentions of pussy, you are called princess once). Katsuki is crazy fr, he's lucky he's hot. Voyeur. Perhaps slight yandere. Masturbation. Implied breaches of privacy.
Katsuki purposely hosts a conference with his whole agency in which he makes it a rule that everyone puts their phones collectively in a place while it goes on for "full focus" and such. Another excuse is to keep company discussions from getting to the press.
Everything is normal. All is fine and dandy. Towards the end of the meeting, Katsuki leaves bc he has another meeting with another pro hero, leaving everyone else to finish up with a presenter for the last few minutes.
On his way out, he snags your phone and pockets it. And another sneaky endeavor? He made sure there were no cameras in the room with the phones. Locked them in there for the security of everyone else's devices but also so he could have first access to yours.
Whence the meeting is over, the doors to that room are opened by another trusted employee with the key. People are grabbing their phones, some getting back to work, some headed home early. Amongst all of it, of course you don't find your phone.
You scrub every surface in that room from ceiling to floor with your eyes as the room gets emptier and emptier. The only thing you really can do at this point is make a report and turn it in, hoping it turns up later this week.
In a few days it does. Dynamight returns it to you himself. Voice gruff as he murmurs.
"Report says you lost this. Janitor turned it in this morning."
He asks you about a few documents you've been working on before making his way back to his office. You inspect your phone and all seems well. Nothing is visibly tampered with. Your backgrounds and settings are all the same. No new or deleted apps. Maybe someone with two phones mistook yours for one of theirs?
You shrug and get back to work.
Around a month later, his eyes are on you again; looking through your webcam from a distance as you lay on your bed with your phone in your hand, legs spread.
He wishes he could hear the slick sounds of your pussy as the vibrator slides across it. Yet the sight enough has him watching with bated breath.
Your eyes are on something on some website tickling your fancy. Your thumb moves to open something else, face drifting from sensual bliss to confusion. Your brows scrunch more and more as you click your vibrator off and sit up, trying to make sense of whatever it was you were looking at. And then your eyes widen.
Amongst your self pleasure, you had decided to go to your hidden folder with a couple videos of yourself doing what you were now. But there was a video there you definitely do not remember recording...
Clicking into it, you find someone touching a body part you don't have.
A large, veiny hand strokes a thick and pretty cock, pre leaking down it and back onto the hand. Lower abdominals twitch and hips move with the rhythm of the hand.
The whole time a low groaning can be heard amongst gasps of pleasure.
You don't believe your eyes! You're shocked, and though you hate to admit it, watching this has your hole clenching around nothing.
You're trying to think what pervert at your agency had the nerve to pull some shit like this?
The only real indicator is the blond tuft of hairs at the base of the dick, sodden with the man's arousal making them appear darker.
You're trying to wrack your brain to figure out WHO-
And then he says your name and your stomach drops. You know that voice. It can't be...
You keep watching on, hoping this is all a dream. But then he continues and confirms it for you.
"You know you're my favorite little worker, right? I've had my eye on you since the day you joined my agency."
All the air leaves you.
Dynamight.
Bakugou-san.
Your boss.
He is talking to you.
You watch as he squeezes himself and starts to stroke a lot slower.
"Be a good girl... And start touching yourself, yeah?"
You pause it. You stare. You take a breath. And reluctantly, you listen to him. You lay back, spread your legs, grab your vibe, and start it again.
Your face is on fire, you feel dizzy, your heart is thumping hard in your chest. And your clit seems more receptive than ever too.
Katsuki, from where he is in his own abode, surmises what it is you've found, and watching the way you bite your lip as you undoubtedly listen to his voice has him pulling his cock out.
When it's all said and done, and you've both cum perhaps the hardest you have in your lives, after a little down time, he calls you.
You feel your heart jump up into your throat at seeing his caller ID, having never put in his contact information yourself... but you answer.
And his words have chills going up your spine, that you admit are nowhere near unpleasant.
"Did ya get my video, princess?"
overbearing boss who insists the extra camera by your desk are just for security; insists you keep the computer he bought you when you mention something about it, who watches you lounge on your couch every night with the laptop open, who watches you get dressed while you watch the newest episode on the laptop but god his favourite is when you slide your hand down your abdomen with your favourite porn playing (he doesn’t care there’s no audio, watching your face change is enough)

rest assured, i will be there.
Tumblr media
note: i don’t experience this so if anything is wrong at all i’m sorry :(. i tried to do as much research (even watched a short documentary!), but that doesn’t and won’t ever compare to ever having gone through it. i hope this was okay!
oooh fun fact: i put lemonade as one of the drinks because lemons are said to have anti-inflammatory enzymes in it!
also lol writing on a 50mg vyvanse rn when i normally take a 30mg. no wonder im getting shit published #yasss
warnings: none? deals with bodily pain, but idk if that needs a warning!
not thoroughly proofread! any and all mistakes are mine!
prns: they/them
🏷: @c-is-writing my bff and one of my favorite people fr. also this isn’t your gift fic btw, that will hopefully be better than this !!
. . .
you woke up already knowing what kind of day it was going to be. everything hurt – your shoulders, lower back, legs, arms. everything.
and nothing seemed to help.
the night before hadn’t been a pleasant one, but you tried not to worry natasha. she’d given you your meds with a cup lemonade and a half hour long massage until you’d finally reassured her enough that you were okay to sleep.
she stayed up talking to you, trying her best to distract your mind from focusing on the pain. sometimes it helped, other times not so much. the fact that natasha always tried to help you in any way she could never failed to make you feel even just a little bit better though.
when you finally shut your eyes natasha held you close, carefully rubbing your body in the places she knew hurt you the most. she didn’t care at all about losing sleep over you, despite your ongoing protests over it.
you’d almost given up on arguing with her over it because you know natasha wasn’t one to listen when her mind was already set on something or someone.
. . .
there was a scheduled meeting in an hour for the avengers. you wracked your brain for what it could possibly be about, but the days prior that were full of pain had put a temporary block in your mind.
nonetheless, you brushed you teeth, showered and took your meds as per usual. although this time you hoped just a little bit more than yesterday that the rest of today wouldn’t get worse.
“hey sunshine, you’re up.” natasha greeted, a warm smile written over her face. “how are you feeling?”
you shrugged, “i’m okay. still hurting, but i think i can manage.”
the redhead nodded, sympathy pouring from her eyes. “well if it gets worse let me know, okay? we’ve got a meeting in twenty. c’mon, i’ll help you there and i’ll make breakfast when we get back, whatever you want.”
you wanted to be happy, but her lightened mood didn’t help with your unnerving guilt. “i’m sorry you have to put up with this.”
natasha frowned, “no, don’t apologize for anything. you can’t control it and you’re not bothering me, so don’t even let yourself go down that trail of thought.”
“i love you so much,” you whispered into her neck, happy to accept the kiss she placed on your cheek.
“i love you more.”
“that’s impossible.”
“anything’s possible,” she reminded you, arms securely wrapped around your waist.
. . .
halfway through the meeting you were beginning to become hyper aware of how much your body was actually hurting.
you shifted uncomfortably in your chair. natasha’s eyes took notice immediately and she reached for your hand under the table, offering you a gentle squeeze for reassurance.
“now we need to do better on-”
you noticed the pain shooting through your leg all the way into your back and into your shoulders.
“and as you can tell as a team we-”
fury’s voice was fading in and out between trying to focus on the meeting and making failed attempts at blocking out your pain.
it was unbearable, your whole body felt like needles were jabbing at your skin and into your muscles.
“so how do we fix-”
and then it all became too much.
“fuck!”
everyone’s eyes were on you now, curious as to know why you’d shout such a thing in the middle of an important conversation. your eyes began to water, both pain and embarrassment making themselves known.
“i’m sorry i-”
“they need to go to the hospital! i’ll let them explain it later, but for now just continue on with the meeting.” natasha ordered the team before picking you up with both arms.
you don’t remember much on the way to the hospital, or even the admission process. the next thing you knew you were woken up from a fuzzy sleep with natasha by your side.
her head was folded into her arms on your bedside with a soft hold on your hand tucked underneath. her lips lightly grazed over your palm, kisses left behind every two minutes.
“nat?”
she shot up immediately, “hi baby.”
“i missed you even though i was asleep,” you mumbled while natasha giggled, “well i’m here now. i always will be. they’ve got you on some pain medication. it’s a little bit stronger than what you’re used to, but everything’s okay.”
“where’s the team? did you tell them i’m sorry?”
she shook her head, offering you a cup of water to sip on. “no baby, i didn’t. you have nothing to be sorry for, remember?”
“yeah…”
“it’s true.” she reassured, pressing a kiss to your forehead. this only caused you to pout though.
“lips?”
natasha playfully rolled her eyes. “of course, sweetheart.”
“your lips are always so soft. i love it when you kiss me.”
“believe me, i know you do. and you know i love kissing you just as much as you love kissing me.”
“i think i like it a little more than you though, natty.” your dazed smile brought warmth to her heart.
“you keep thinkin’ that,” natasha grinned. “the team’s in the waiting area, would you like for me to tell them what happened? and would you like to see any of them? they’re all really worried, but there’s no pressure of course.”
“you can tell ‘em, and you can let everyone back here.”
“are you sure? it’s okay if you still need to rest. we’ll all be here.”
“i’m sure. i’m okay, nat, thank you though.”
“alright, well i’ll be right back. don’t move or anything just yet.” she instructed before making her wait out of the room.
“i’ll be here.”

📂 — HC for first date with each guy from SOA/Mayan? Or maybe just Juice/Angel because I’m a sucker for broken Himbos 🥹
My brain has been a puddle of goo lately, so I am taking the easier option you gave me and only doing Juice and Angel because I love HC's but doing them for alllll the SOA/Mayans guys is a lot since I overthink all of it haha. But we love broken himbos in this house. Gotta be one of my favorite genders 😌
First Date With Juice:
I think that Juice would base his first date directly off of things that you mentioned you like, things you like doing. It's the People Pleaser in him.
He's nervous. So so nervous. And awkward. And cute.
Insists on being the one to pick you up. Will be extra careful and reassuring if you've never ridden on a motorcycle before. Definitely thinks it's endearing but doesn't know how to say it so he just has this dorky grin on his face the entire time instead because you know the boy is thriving having your arms wrapped around him.
Will be the type to surprise you on the first date. The most he'll tell you is that it's not anything fancy, nothing super crazy, but the rest is left a mystery.
There is always food involved. The boy will wrack his brain to remember the type of food you mentioned liking, a restaurant you said you really enjoyed, anything to show that he listens and he cares. But the food is really just a foot-note. The fun stuff comes once dinner is all done and over with.
Juice is a huge believer in activity-based dates. Fun shit, you know? We're talking go-karts, arcades, mini-golf, all that fun stuff. He's pretty good at all of it, but will totally be the type to get a good feel of the situation and let you win. But he also loves when someone gives him a run for his money. Good-natured shit-talking is encouraged, because nothing is better than laughing over both of you being really good or really terrible at something.
Nervous first kiss at the end of the night. He wants to. He wants to so much. And he'll lean in halfway but he is always ready to recoil if he thinks he read the situation wrong. All nerves and excitement knowing that it was the first date but it definitely wasn't the last.
Tumblr media
First Date with Angel:
You know he's got it bad if he's broken down and is actually making the effort to take you out on and plan dates. Because, let's face it, that's not really always Angel's forte.
And since it's not Angel's forte, he is constantly fluctuating between being super nervous, and trying to be super smooth and slick. The confidence of, “Yea, of course they said yes to a date,” immediately followed by the paralyzing realization that now he has to actually take you on a date. Love that. Let him squirm.
The way I can vividly picture him asking EZ/Coco/Gilly for advice?? Criminal. He’s so clueless god bless. And you know that the three of them would be of little to no help at all. EZ has some good advice locked in the chamber but he likes the idea of watching his older brother flounder around. What little intel he gives up is just to make sure that you don’t have to suffer through a terrible experience with his brother.
Angel trying to scrape a plan together just repeating to himself, “No movies for a first date, no movies for a first date,” because when he mentioned it all the guys immediately shot down the idea because for a first date they said he should at least make it seem like he wants to talk and get to know you. And he does. He just doesn’t know how to do it.
He will ultimately decide that there is no way to go wrong with good food and good drinks. A safe bet to test the waters. And he’s right. He trips over his words a little bit here and there which you weren’t expecting, but it’s actually kind of cute.
It’s a good night from the start, but once he finally gets out of his own head, it really is a great time. Neither of you can remember the last time you stayed somewhere past closing just because you were so wrapped up in conversation with someone. Your cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing so much and it was such a good feeling.
Will always start off with kissing you on the cheek to test the waters, but as soon as he gets the green light, he leaves you with a kiss that you’ll be thinking about until the next time you see him.
Tumblr media
These were so fun to write 🥰 Hope you enjoyed!
Send me a “📂” and I’ll give you a random/useless headcanon that I have!

Faebruary: Fake Dating
M Faerie X F human, 7,922 words
You guys remember this post? Well, here’s the story it was based on. A human gets lost in the Faerie world, and her only hope of getting back home safe is agreeing to go on a date with one smug Faerie boy. Hope you enjoy!
Admittedly, this was probably something you should have seen coming when you stepped into a fairy ring.
It was stupid. Everyone said you weren’t supposed to step inside the little circles of mushrooms that sprouted up all over the hills. But it was just stupid. Fairies weren’t real. So when there had been a circle of mushrooms across your path, you had just walked toward it.
The instant your foot crossed the line, there was a sickening spinning feeling in your stomach. Your foot plunged down like you’d missed a step in the dark and you fell into a swirling sea of mist.
You came to spitting out leaves, though you couldn’t remember hitting the ground. It was as if the ground had materialized against your face. Slowly, you staggered upright.
There was no longer sunlight. The forest was full of mist. And the trees seemed much more closely clustered than they had before. Their bark was darker, their branches more gnarled and reaching.
It was deathly silent. You wrapped your jacket closer around yourself. “Hello?” you called. Your voice died a foot from your throat. It was like the mist absorbed the sound.
Several feet in front of you, a pale blue light blinked into being.
“Hey!” you called. “I’m over here!” The blue light winked and bobbed, then began to shrink into the distance. You plunged through the foliage after it.
No matter how fast you ran, the light seemed to be permanently ahead of you. It sped up as you went onward until you were flat-out sprinting to keep up.
“I wouldn’t follow the light if I were you.”
You skidded to a stop, feet skidding on the damp leaves. The voice had come from somewhere above you. Squinting in the dim light, you could make out a figure crouching in the tree branches. Lightning fast, the figure leaped, vanishing into the mists.
“Fuck!” you swore, looking around. The figure was gone. It had moved so fast you hadn’t even been able to see where it had gone. Frantic, you looked for the blue light. Had it gotten away while you were looking at the figure?
“You’re not going to lose the light.” The voice came from behind and above you this time. You whipped toward it. The figure was pointing into the distance. Following the finger, you could see the gentle gleam of blue light bobbing there, like it was waiting.
An unsettled crawling feeling moved up your spine. “How did you know it was going t be there?”
Details of the figure were impossible to make out in the dim lighting, but you could hear that he was grinning. “Because will-O-the-wisps are nothing if not predictable.”
He punctuated his sentence by leaping from the tree and coming to a crouched landing in front of you.
You stared. What had landed in front of you was not human. He looked vaguely human, even handsome, by some definitions. A strong, though narrow, jaw, sharp nose, black hair that was teased back into a carefully disheveled style. But he was dressed in odd clothes, the sort of thing you’d expect from an old English court, and he had a tail. A long, thin tail that weaved and twisted behind him like it was caught in a current. And he had antlers, small, but pronounced antlers.
“I forgot,” he said. “Mortals are so often stunned into silence when they see the natural splendor of the Fair Folk.”
That made you find your tongue. “What are you?”
His smirk vanished. “There was a time when mortals were rightfully respectful of us. If you had half a head of sense, you would be on your knees, begging for mercy.”
There was a pause, as if he was waiting for you to do so. You didn’t, though you kept your mouth cautiously shut. He snorted. “I’m a Fae. One of the Fair Folk. And you, little mortal, are utterly trapped in the Faerie lands.”
“Trapped?” you repeated. An icy cold stone dropped into your stomach.
The Faerie grinned. “Now you see the truth of your situation. Yes. You’re trapped. Unless you convince a Faerie to let you go, you’ll be trapped in this land for all eternity.” He swept closer to you. “And this place is not safe for lone mortals. There are things here that would make you wish the will-O-the-wisp would have dragged you down into its bog and stripped the meat from your bones.”
You couldn’t repress a shudder. The Fae noticed and his smile grew wider. “I assume you’re telling me this for a reason,” you said, keeping your eyes on him.
“Me?” he said, pressing a hand to his chest, the picture of faux-innocence. “I want to show you the way out. You do want to go home, do you?”
You narrowed your eyes at him. “Uh huh. And I’m assuming you want something in return.”
His lips curled. “Figures the one thing humans wouldn’t forget about a Faerie is that we like even trades. It would make things so much easier.” He ruffled his fingers through his hair, carefully avoiding his antlers. “Yes. If you would like me to guide you out of the Faerie world, then I will need something in return.”
He didn’t continue. You narrowed your eyes at him. “And what is that?”
He huffed out a sigh. “Not going to write me a blank check, hm? Fine. If I am going to lead you out of here, I need you to agree to attend a Faerie party with me.”
That threw you for a loop. “You want me to what?”
“Attend a party with me,” he said, grinning at your confusion.
“That’s it?” you asked. He nodded.
“One night, twelve hours, at a party with me,” he said. “All I need is for you to attend as my date.”
That seemed far too good to be true. “Is this a trick? Some kind of way to trap me or humiliate me or otherwise coerce me into staying?”
The Faerie rolled his eyes. “Are all humans so suspicious? No. I just need a date.”
“Why don’t you pick a Faerie, then?” you asked.
“Because I think you would piss of my parents the most,” he said.
You lifted one of your eyebrows. “Is that supposed to be a compliment or an insult?”
 He waved a hand. “Neither. I just need a mortal. That would completely ruin their night.”
There was genuine venom in his voice when he said it. You stared at him, struck dumb. How old was he? You mentally reassessed him. His age was sort of difficult to determine. There was an unearthly beauty to him, no sign of the sort of little imperfections that come around with age. But if you looked really closely, studied the lines of his face, he looked like someone barely out of his teenage years. Maybe nineteen, or at least the Faerie equivalent. You held back a snort. At least maturity wise, you were probably around two years older than he was.
The Faerie drew himself up haughtily, apparently taking your silence as some sort of agreement. “You must state your agreement out loud. It will be a Faerie agreement, so there will be no going back on your deal.” He smiled unpleasantly. “Backing out of a Faerie deal is not a good idea, especially for a fragile mortal.”
You eyed him cautiously. There was still a chance he was trying to trick you or coerce you or trying to do something else of the sort. But, given how young he seemed, you were somewhat less inclined to suspicion. The longer you spent with him, the more affected his persona seemed. It was the posturing of someone who had just been given their first taste of power and was still unsure how to properly use it.
“All right,” you said. “How do we make an agreement?”
The Faerie smiled smugly and extended a hand. Several of his fingers were clad with large, heavy rings, inset with black gems. All of them bore a triangular symbol. “Take my hand.” He said it like it was some sort of great favor to you. You did so. His fingers felt oddly sharp under his skin, slender and bony. “Now. The stipulations of this deal are that I will return you to the human world, to your home. In exchange for this, you will attend a dance with me as my date. You will be my date for twelve hours, over one night. Once the night is over, I will return you home again.”
“I have stipulations,” you said, forcing your voice to be confident. He lifted an eyebrow, but allowed your to continue. “While I am your guest, you will not conspire against me in any way. You will not allow me to come to any harm, nor will you attempt to trap me here once more. If I am harmed in any way, the deal is null and void and you will return me home immediately.”
The Faerie wrinkled his nose. “I would not allow my date to be harmed. Even if you are a mortal, the rules of hospitality still apply to you.”
“And you won’t allow me to unknowingly do anything that could harm me,” you added. The Faerie gave you a sarcastic look.
“Are you finished?” he drawled. You hesitated, trying to wrack your brain for anything else you might need. Nothing came immediately to mind.
“Yes. I’m finished,” you said, however suspiciously. The Faerie grinned.
“Then the deal is struck.” His voice seemed to boom through the forest. A tingling sensation ran across the back of your hand, then it sharpened into a piercing sting, like an insect was biting the back of your hand. You yelped, but the Faerie held onto your hand firmly.
The sting faded and the Faerie released your fingers. You shook your hand, trying to get the blood to flow through it again. On the back of your hand, imprinted as neatly on your skin as a tattoo, was a black marking. It was a circle, emblazoned with some kind of angular sigil.
 “It marks our bargain,” the Faerie said, showing you his own hand. He was similarly marked, though his brand was bright purple. “Should either of us break it, the mark will sink into our skin, and we shall endure some sort of tragedy.” He smiled, all needle-sharp teeth and cruelty. “So be certain that you do not break it.”
“I won’t,” you said, voice flinty. The Faerie looked amused by your anger.
“Then I shall fulfill my bargain first,” he said. He held out his arm to you, as if he was escorting you to a party rather than freeing you from an alien realm. “Shall we go?”
You hesitated, but he had made a promise. And you had also heard that Faeries couldn’t lie. You took a deep breath and linked your arm through his. “Yes.”
The Faerie took a step forward and the ground tilted under your feet. The mist billowed out obscuring your vision. The only thing that seemed real was the Faerie next to you. Your grip on him tightened, despite yourself.
“Move,” the Faerie said into your ear. You took an uncertain step forward. The mist had covered the ground so thickly that it looked like you were walking on clouds. When you took a step forward, the ground seemed to spin under your feet, like you were covering more distance than you should have been. You felt dizzy, but the Faerie moved forward with uncompromising speed and pulled you along. Only a few steps later, the mist had disoriented you so much that you couldn’t tell where anything was. The world seemed to be spinning around you even when you weren’t moving. You needed to cling to the Faerie’s arm to stay on your feet.
Sunlight pierced through the trees and you squinted your eyes shut. The mist evaporated within seconds and you were standing once more in your familiar forest, blinking up into the bright light.
“And my part of the bargain has been fulfilled.” The Faerie looked no less alien and beautiful in the human world. He grinned at you. “Home again, exactly where you were taken.”
You were still clinging to his arm, you realized. Slowly, you unwound your fingers from his shirt and stepped away.
“I shall return for you on the night of the Winter Ball.”
“Which is when?” you asked.
“The full moon next. I shall find you proper garments.” He gave you a critical once over, indicating that he wasn’t optimistic about your chances of finding them yourself. You resisted the urge to roll your eyes. “We will meet again then.”
Mist rolled across your vision. When it melted away again, he was gone. You stared at the spot for a moment, then looked down at your hand. The marking was still there, as starkly black as it had been before. At least it was proof that you hadn’t made it up. With a final glance at the Faerie ring a few feet away, you turned and headed out of the forest.
The sun’s position told you that you should have arrived back a few hours after you left. Your arrival home informed you that was actually a day and a few hours since you’d left. Your mother left you with a lecture ringing in your ears, one that had only gotten more aggressive when she’d seen the marking on the back of your hand. No matter what you said, there was no way to convince her that you hadn’t gotten drunk, gotten a tattoo, and passed out in the woods somewhere. Admittedly, you were a little disheveled. Once you had freed yourself from her grasp, you slipped up to your room and checked your calendar.          
The next full moon was just over a week away. You marked it off on your calendar and took a deep breath. Right. Time to start prepping.
Your week was filled with pawing through old books and scouring the internet for every scrap of Faerie lore that you could find. By the time the full moon had rolled around, you had gathered as many supplies as you could find.
You were waiting in your room uncertainly when the full moon rose. The Faerie had told you he would find you, but did you need to be outside for it?
Before you could make any decisions on it, the moonlight filtering through your window thickened into a sheet of silver. It rippled and the Faerie stepped out of it like a doorway.
Unfairly, he looked even more handsome than he had when you’d met in the woods. He was dressed in silvery clothes, a flowing robe and cloak with a silvery ruff. His tail and ears were adorned with silver bangles, a choker pressed tight to his throat, and his horns were covered in silvery strands, like tinsel.
“You could have freshened up a little more,” he said, giving you a once-over. You gritted your teeth and one of your hands went to the little bag you had tied to your waist, hidden securely under your shirt. It was filled with salt and little pieces of iron. More iron and salt packets lined the inside of your clothes and you had strapped an iron knife to the inside of your thigh. A string of rowan berries was tied at your neck. With any fortune, those charms would be enough to drive off any cruel Faeries.
“I thought you were going to provide me with the garments you found appropriate,” you said in a clipped voice.
 “Only because mortals unilaterally lack taste,” he said. “There’s really only so much I can do.” He stepped back and gave a broad gesture toward the shaft of moonlight. “We only have an hour before the Ball starts. Hopefully that’s enough time to make you presentable.”
You drew yourself up and stepped through the portal of light. A chill rolled over your skin, like you had stepped through a cloud of mist.
One of your feet struck a tiled floor and you stopped. The moonlight faded into a tall, ice-white room with an arched ceiling and silvery lights decorating the walls. You paused to take in the décor and the Faerie walked into your back.
“Excuse me,” he snapped, glaring at you. You glared back. “Follow me. I have a dress picked out for you.”
He led you into a small room. A curtain divided it in half and there was a dress draped over a chair. It was gauzy and made of pale blues, silvers, and white. “Put it on. One of the servants will do your hair.”
“Servants?” you said, but he had already swept back out of the room. You sighed and picked up the dress. At least it wasn’t overly elaborate.
You slipped hurriedly into the dress. It was clearly simpler than his outfit, with far less adornment. Perhaps mortals weren’t allowed to wear as much finery as Faeries, or perhaps he just didn’t want you to outshine him. Either way, you were grateful for anything that made the outfit easier to wear.
The servants, as it turned out, were small, fluttering creatures that did your hair in a quick, simple style, a braid that was wound at the nape of your neck and secured with a silver pin. You caught a glance of yourself in a silver reflection. The dress emphasized your curves and complimented your skin tone. Your beauty wasn’t stunning, but it was simple and understated.
As soon as the servants departed, the Faerie was sweeping back into the room, cape swirling around his body. He looked you up and down. “Well, you can clean up nicely,” he said. You caught the way his eyes lingered on you. The faintest hint of a blush colored his cheeks, but then he was turning away. “Come. We need to hurry to arrive on time.”
You picked up your skirts and hurried down the hall after him. Thankfully the shimmering heels you wore were short, so it was not so difficult to walk in them. “I still don’t know your name,” you said as you caught up with him. His gaze shifted to yours suspiciously. Names were important to Faeries, you had read. Clearly, he was trying to determine if you knew that or if you were speaking in ignorance.
Finally, he spoke. “You may not have my name, but you may call me Elwain.” He tilted his head slightly toward you. “And yours?”
You told him, mimicking his wording. It was hard to tell if his expression was disappointed or not. He just strode out of the front door and onto the front steps.
Outside was all greenery, and pale, twinkling lights. Elwain led you down the steps and toward a skeletal white horse. You shivered when its pale eyes turned to you. Its mane and tail rippled and flickered like it was made of mist. There was an elegant saddle attached to its back and Elwain easily gripped the reins and pulled himself up onto its back. You hesitated, uncertain of how to climb on. You’d never ridden a horse before.
“Oh, for goodness’ sake,” Elwain said. You glared at him. He merely rolled his eyes and extended a hand. You gripped it. His fingers were strong and steady against yours as he pulled you up into the saddle behind him. Your hands moved automatically to his waist. A flicker of something moved through your stomach before you quashed it.
The horse took off, hooves striking the ground with a sound like metal clanging. You lurched into Elwain’s back, fingers tightening at his waist. His breath caught for a moment, though you weren’t sure if it was actually your grip causing it.
The ride was swift and rocky. You were pressed awkwardly to Elwain’s back for most of it, leaning against him with every motion of the mount.
You were expecting to stop at another house, some sort of grand mansion like the one you’d left from. Instead, you stopped outside a grove of trees. They were covered in twinkling lights and noises of whooping celebration echoed through the air.
Elwain dismounted flawlessly. You twisted, attempting to copy his elegant motion. Your foot caught in the stirrup. With a stomach-flipping jolt, you stumbled.
A hand braced itself between your shoulder blades. The back of your head impacted a chest. You tilted your gaze backward. The upside-down face of Elwain stared back at you. “Mortals,” he sighed. “Hold onto me.” He shifted his position so you could get your arms around his neck. That fluttering feeling of attraction started in your chest again as he balanced you against his shoulder and reached down to undo your foot from its catch in the stirrup.
As soon as your leg was free, he lifted you up, carrying you away from the horse. “Are you all right?” he asked. You could feel his breath against your cheek. Your faces were right next to each other.
“I’m fine,” you said. There was a slight catch in your voice. A pink flush worked across Elwain’s face and he deposited you on the ground once more.
“Then we should go.” He looked at you for a moment, then sighed and reached out and fiddled with the choker at your neck. His fingers traced lightly over your skin. Your breath caught.
“There. Better,” he said, drawing himself up. “Take my arm. Stay close to me. Avoid eating anything. Take nothing from anyone. Do you understand?”
You nodded. “I understand.” You looped your arm through his. He looked at you for a moment longer, then turned toward the entrance of the party.
Music filtered through the air as you stepped through the grove of trees. It was odd, but alluring. It reminded you of lights shifting on walls, the tone constantly changing with odd trills throughout, but it was still beautiful. You shook your head, refocusing.
People swirled around you as you entered the clearing. They were strange, dressed in flowing robes and bright jewels that hung from tails and horns. As odd as it all was, it was hard to tear your eyes away. Everything was kaleidoscopic, mesmerizing.
“Try not to look,” Elwain said. His voice was less than an inch from your ear. “Mortal minds struggle to comprehend the true nature of Faeries.” You lowered your gaze to the ground.
Elwain led you onward, across the forest floor, toward the center of the throng. Bright lights fell on you and you squinted against them. “Announcing the Silver Son, Elwain Corridale, and his mortal consort!”
There was a sudden burst of murmuring, chittering, and general commotion. You lifted your chin, meeting the gazes of the Faeries who were looking at you with interest. Across the clearing, you could see two people, similarly beautiful and draped in clothes similar to Elwain’s, glaring. Presumably Elwain’s parents. You stared resolutely back at them.
The lights shifted away from you, but you could feel the gazes of the crowd on you regardless as Elwain led you over to the edge of the grove.
“Those two strict looking people your parents?” you asked out of the corner of your mouth.
“Yes,” Elwain whispered back. “Charming, aren’t they?” There was a sarcastic bite to his voice.
“I’m assuming you don’t get along,” you said. You were deliberately not looking at them, but you could feel their cool gazes on you. Elwain snorted.
“No. We don’t.” His gaze flicked over to them, eyes narrowed. “They seem quite irritated, do they not?” There was a note of distinct pleasure in his voice. His pale, inviting lips quirked into a small smile.
“They do,” you said cautiously. “Because you’re with a mortal?”
“Indeed.” He caught your curious gaze and rolled his eyes. “I suppose I shall have to sate your curiosity now?”
“Unless you have something better to do,” you said. “It doesn’t seem like it, considering that you’re hiding in a corner in the middle of a party.”
His gaze snapped over to you, lips curling. “You are especially irritating, even for a mortal, you know?” he said. You just looked at him steadily. He huffed out a sigh and looked back out at the dance floor. “We have not been getting along for a while.”
He lapsed into silence and you waited for a moment. “Why not?” you pressed when his was clear he was not going to be forthcoming with the answers.
Elwain grimaced. “I am the oldest of my family, set to inherit their wealth and land and the responsibility of keeping the family name out of the mud and in good standing. I’d much rather not have the responsibility. My younger sibling would be far better at taking the helm, but I am the eldest, so it falls to me, regardless of whether or not I want it, or would even be particularly good at it.” A sharp, cold grin crossed his face. “My parents have been so insistent that I take the position, regardless of my own feelings, so I figured that aggressively smearing the family name would, at the very least, piss them off. If they won’t change their decision, I can make them regret it.” He laughed. It was sharp and brittle, almost like a crow’s caw. Despite yourself, you smirked. Elwain caught your expression. “You seem… pleased.”
“It’s funny,” you admitted. “And I can get behind the idea of spiting your parents.”
Elwain’s smile shifted. It was a subtle thing, just a twitch of his lips and a smoothing of his brows, but it altered his entire expression. There was genuine happiness in his face, and his ethereal beauty melted into something gentler and more boyish. Your stomach gave a little flip. “You’re not irritated?” he asked, and there was genuine curiosity in his voice. “Mortals always seem to get awfully huffy about being used by Faeries.”
“I didn’t say that I wasn’t irritated. But I understand,” you said. You cast your gaze over at his parents again. The man was talking to someone with enormous antlers and strange, twisting legs, but his mother was glaring at you. Her gaze was like ice. It took all your will to repress a shiver. “Would you like to dance?”
Elwain gave you a surprised look. “You’d like to dance?”
“Better than standing off to one side. And if we’re going to try to be convincing to your parents, we’ll need to put on a better show than this.” Elwain’s surprise melted into an expression of amusement. His arm tightened on yours.
“Certainly. Wonderful point. Shall we?” He pulled you out onto the dance floor, threading you through the Faeries that were already out there. You ended up roughly toward the center. Some Faeries, the ones you figured were lower-class, avoided you, while others completely ignored your presence. Elwain stopped and turned to you, one hand settling on your waist, the other hand gripping yours. “Will you be able to keep up?” he asked, lifting an eyebrow.
You grinned back, mimicking his sharp grin. “Try me.”
The music was fast and energetic as you started to move. The beat was bouncing, easy to keep track of. Elwain led and you followed easily. Together, you swirled and weaved around the other couples.
Elwain’s hand shifted on your waist, tugging you closer to him. His fingers interlaced with yours. The beat of the music thrummed through your body, pounding in time with your heart. You were tepidly aware of other people around you, but you paid them no mind. Instead, you focused on Elwain’s face above yours, the slight knit of his brow as he focused on each dance move.
The music came to a stop. You blinked. It was as if you were stepping out of a trance, or waking from a dream. Your body was pressed against Elwain’s, almost chest to chest. With every step, you had drawn closer to each other. Your head was tilted sharply back to still look him in his face. His lips were parted slightly, and you found yourself tracing the curve of his mouth with your eyes. His fingers were tight on your lower back, tangled in the fabric of your dress.
“You’re better than I thought you’d be,” Elwain said. There was still that little edge to his voice, but it was wavering, as if it was a struggle to keep it up. He was panting a little, and you weren’t sure if it was actually from the exertion or not.
“So are you,” you said. You were staring up into his eyes. His pupils were large, endless and abyssal. He let out a slow, shuddering breath. His grip on your back loosened.
As you broke apart, you became aware of the gazes that rested upon you. Half the Faeries on the dance floor around you were staring, only swaying vaguely as a pretense for dancing. “Take a bow,” Elwain said, the edge of his mouth lifting into a smile. He swept out an arm and you mimicked him before bending low into a deep bow.
There was some scattered applause as you departed the dance floor, returning to your original place. Elwain was smiling in a smug, self-satisfied way. “I’m fulfilling my end of the bargain, yes?” you asked in an undertone.
Elwain looked down at you. “You’re certainly more effective than I thought you would be,” he said. “I can’t quite remember the last time I’ve had such a good time at a party.”
“I think I’ll take that as a compliment,” you decided.
“Good,” Elwain said. His voice quieted a little and sincerity blossomed in his tone. “I meant it as one.”
Before you could fully register what he’d said, Elwain’s mother came sweeping across the room toward you. She looked regal and fine, like a sculpture carved out of ice, her eyes blazing with cold fire. Her blonde hair was twisted into a tight bun, set in place with a silver, diamond-encrusted comb.
“Mother,” Elwain said. His voice was chilly enough to provoke a shiver, but you lifted your chin and stared defiantly back as his mother looked you up and down. Her lip curled and she gave you a clear look of disapproval.
“My son,” she said. Her voice hit like a whip. It took some willpower to avoid flinching. “I would like to speak to you for a moment.” It was clearly not a suggestion.
“Of course,” Elwain said, his voice measured and polite. He turned to you and fixed you with a smile. It was startlingly warm and your stomach flipped over. You bit your tongue, trying to kick the feeling away. No. Bad. Don’t start catching feelings for this guy. Elwain bent at the waist, drawing one of your hands up to his lips. His mouth brushed delicately along your knuckles. “I will return. Wait for me.”
His mother’s expression became icier and more remote, but she said nothing as she and Elwain stepped away from you. They moved to somewhere still within your eyesight, but out of earshot. You could tell they were having an intense, whispered conversation, and you could guess that you were the topic, but you couldn’t catch any details.
You were so distracted, trying to catch a whisper of their conversation, that you didn’t notice the Faerie at your side until he had grabbed your arm.
“Little mortal,” he crooned. He was pretty, so much so that it was uncanny to look at. You tried to pull your arm free from his, but his fingers were sharp and immovable as solid wood. He tugged on you, dragging you slowly but undeniably toward the dance floor.
“Little mortals shouldn’t be all alone in Faerie,” he said. His voice bounced around the inside of your head, banging off the sides of your skull until your brain was suffused by ringing noise. It was dizzying. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of you.”
He was dragging you steadily toward the dance floor. Memories of your studies screamed alarms at you. Mortals trapped in swirling Faerie dances, unable to stop even as their feet bled and their muscles strained with exhaustion. Already, you could hear the enchanting, piping music. Your brain was fuzzing. One of your hands scrabbled for the cold iron pendant under your dress, but your fingers felt clumsy. You couldn’t resist. Why did you even want to resist? The music was so beautiful, leaping through your veins, and it would be so amazing to just be able to dance…
Someone’s hand caught yours. You staggered to a stop, the fog retreating from your brain. The Faerie snarled, dropping his grip on you.
“I would thank you not to try and steal my date,” Elwain said. His voice was freezing. Even with the full force of it turned on someone else, you couldn’t stop yourself from shivering. The Faerie that had tried to grab you shrank back.
“Of course, if I had known the mortal was yours, I would have left her alone,” the Faerie said, ducking his head and backing away. “Apologies, my lord.” He scrambled back into the crowd, melting away.
 Elwain glared after him until he was gone, then turned to you, offering his arm. “Are you all right?”
You took a deep breath, stabilizing yourself. “Fine.”
“I did tell you to avoid the other Fae,” he said in a scolding tone. You glared at him.
“I didn’t do it on purpose,” you said. “He ambushed me.” With Elwain’s arm around yours, the music that had been scrambling your brain seemed distant. He led you back across the room. His fingers were tight on your arm. Even when you were a safe distance away from the other Fae, he didn’t release you.
“Maybe we should stay somewhere else, for now,” he said. He picked his way through the crowd to a gap between the trees and worked his way through them.
It took only a few moments to get to the edge of the forest. The sky overhead was filled with more stars than you’d ever seen. You could even see the gradation of color from the deep navy blue at its zenith to the faint, almost purple color at the edges.
Elwain released your arm and closed his eyes. His expression fell. Suddenly, he looked exhausted and wan. You hesitated before asking, “Did everything go all right with your mother?”
The corner of his mouth twitched. “She was most displeased,” he said in a haughty tone that suggested he was mimicking her. “Most displeased indeed that I was disgracing the family name by dallying with a mortal.” He rolled his eyes. “You would think she didn’t have mortal blood in her family.”
“She does?” you said. Elwain lifted a shoulder in a moody shrug.
“Most Faeries do, even the nobility. The Queen is rumored to have mortal blood in her lineage, even. Our own reproductive ability is poor. Mortals are much better at breeding. It’s not uncommon for a Faerie to marry another Faerie and sire all his children with one of his mortal servants.”
“Then why is it such a problem to be with me?” Elwain gave you a look that suggested you were either very thick or very naïve.
“You’re allowed to breed with a mortal, but you’re not supposed to treat them as an equal. You’re certainly not supposed to date one, or show her off as your partner. Breeding with mortals is more of an open secret. Actually marrying a mortal would be a huge drop in status, and as the oldest son of my family, it would be a scandal if I even married a Faerie of lower status, much less a mortal.”
“That’s why you thought I would piss off your parents,” you said. “You’re putting your family status in jeopardy.”
Elwain nodded. “Yes. They’re so concerned about my family name, I figured putting it under threat will at least get some kind of reaction.” There was an undercurrent of vindictiveness in his voice. “Perhaps it will at least get them to see that I am a living person and not just a walking vessel for carrying on their line.”
Without thinking, you put a hand on his shoulder. He went stiff, staring at you. “Glad I could help with that. It sounds like a worthy cause. I’m all for pissing off shitty parents.”
Elwain looked at you with an unreadable expression. Then his mouth twitched and he smiled. “Well, then. We should get back and do it some more, shouldn’t we?” He reached up and took your hand off his shoulder. Instead of hooking your hand into the crook of his arm, as he had been doing, he kept it in his hand.
There was a faint whistling noise. Something whizzed by your ear and made a dull ‘thunk’ as it embedded itself in the tree trunk behind you.
Your ear was stinging. You reached up and touched it. Your hand came away bloody.
“Get down!” Elwain pulled you into the bushes. His body was nearly on top of yours, pressing you down into the undergrowth. One of his hands pressed against the small of your back.
“Someone’s shooting at us!” you said redundantly. Elwain lifted his head slightly, trying to get a look around the brush. Another arrow whizzed by, slamming into the ground less than an inch from your hand.
Elwain made to grab it and yanked his hand back with a hiss. You could smell sizzing flesh. “It’s cold iron,” he said. “They’re for killing Faeries.” Horror crept into his voice. “They’re here to kill me.”
Another arrow plunged into the ground. This one was less than an inch from one of Elwain’s hands. “We need to move before they get a shot!” you said. “I can distract them, then you can run.”
“Wait! That may not be a good ide-” Before Elwain could finish his protest, you pushed your way out of the bush you’d hidden in and plunged blindly into the woods.
There were several more whistling thunks as arrows rained down on you. One of them ripped its way through the skirt of your dress and you had to pause and wrench it free. When you lifted your gaze to start running again, a shadowy figure descended from the trees in front of you.
They were entirely wrapped in black, so their features were difficult to make out, except for the fact that they were tall and skinny. A hand clapped down on your shoulder, right at the junction of your neck. It was cold, with needle-sharp fingers.
“Little mortal,” they crooned. “We were only told to kill the Faerie. With you, we can do whatever we please.” One of their fingers stroked along your cheek. Your mind fogged. “Wouldn’t you like to be my little plaything? We would have so much fun together. Or perhaps it would be funny for that little lordling to die by your hands? What a fitting death for the mortal lover.”
One of your hands went under your dress. Your brain was fuzzy, but your mind cleared as your fingers brushed your string of rowan berries. Still, you kept your gaze as unfocused as possible. Your other hand was creeping under the back of your dress. Your cold iron knife burned against your thigh. “Call out to him,” the Faerie said. “He’ll come for you, and then we’ll see how he fares when his little pet bites back-”
The Faerie had no chance to react. The knife ripped free from its sheath and you wrenched it up then down in a plunging arc. The blade tore into his chest. The smell of burning meat filled the air around you. Flesh sizzled as you ripped the knife down, carving open his belly.
The Faerie’s expression turned from gloating to terror. He staggered back, hands clamped to his gut. His motion wrenched the knife free from your hand, leaving it embedded in his stomach. He fumbled for it once, twice, before pulling it out of him. A gout of blood poured from the wound, soaking through his black clothes and puddling in the dirt.
He collapsed sideways on the ground. He was still breathing. You could hear the soft, wheezing gasps as he struggled for air. Gradually, the breaths became garbled, gurgling. He coughed, body spasming. Something warm and wet was soaking your feet. You didn’t want to look down. There was so much blood around him, more blood than you’d thought could be in a person.
It took a few moments to realize that the gurgling had stopped.
Something crashed through the bushes behind you. You whirled, lifting your second weapon in your hand. It was smaller, blunter, but maybe if you cracked them over the head, you could stun them for long enough you get away-
“Watch yourself. It’s only me,” Elwain said. He emerged into a shaft of moonlight. His long cloak was hanging in tatters from his shoulder and there were smears of muck and dirt across his face and clothes. His hair was in complete disarray. His gaze traveled up and down your body. “You’re bleeding.”
“No,” you said, stepping back to reveal the body on the ground behind you, “I’m not.”
There was a cold pause. Elwain looked between the body and you several times, as if trying to reconcile the evidence. Finally, he stepped past you and knelt next to the body.
“Cold iron,” he said, his tone unreadable. “I should have searched you before bringing you here. I figured humans had largely forgotten all the old methods.”
“If you had searched me, he would have killed me and then you,” you said in a chilly voice.
“A fair enough point,” Elwain said, albeit a touch reluctantly. “You are far more clever than I gave you credit for.” He rustled with the body a bit more, then went still, sucking in a sharp breath.
“What?” you said, leaning over his shoulder. He lifted a silvery pendant, dangling it from a chain around his fingers.
“I recognize this,” he said in a hollow voice. “My family crest.”
You stared at the little triangular that dangled from the chain. “He was from your family.”
“Sent by them, at least. The crest marks him as one of our assassins.” His voice caught. It was only the slightest of noises, something that you almost didn’t notice. For a moment, his expression crumpled. He took in a swift, choked breath and his face smoothed over. His eyes were still distant, staring absently ahead.
You reached out and squeezed his hand. His fingers tightened on yours with crushing force. “I’m sorry.”
He breathed deeply. “We need to go. If there’s one, there will be more.” He fumbled with the ties of his cloak. It dropped into the foliage. He was turning to you in a moment, fingers sliding along your bodice. You yelped quietly as he tugged free some of the outer layers of your dress, leaving a shift that would be far easier to run in. Despite the danger, you found yourself focusing on the skim of his fingers against your skin.
“Where are we going?” you asked as Elwain started to tug you through the trees.
He skidded to a stop, gaze darting wildly. “I- I don’t know.” His throat bobbed as he swallowed. His expression was lost, uncertain. There was nowhere for him to go, you realized. His family was gone. He was being chased by assassins. His life was gone.
Fine. You would take over. “Go back to the mortal world,” you said. “It’ll at least shake them off your tail for a while.”
 Elwain blinked at you, expression clearing. His fingers tightened on yours and he picked up into a run. Within a few steps, you were staggering to a stop in a mortal forest.
“They probably won’t come after me,” Elwain said. “They won’t want to draw the attention of mortals. And as long as I’m here, I’m out of their way.” He blinked slowly. “I have been exiled from Faerie on pane of death.” His voice was hollow, weak.
You leaned against him, trying to comfort him. “I’m so sorry.”
Elwain tossed his head back and laughed. It was a sharp, grating laugh, nearly inhuman. Your hair stood on end hearing it. “I knew my family had executed political irritants before,” he said between choked breaths, “but I never realized they would count me among the number!”
His laughter broke, turned into wracking sobs. He swayed into your side, pressing his face into your shoulder. You rubbed his back helplessly.
It took some time before he lifted his head again. He looked significantly less magnificent in his tattered clothes, with his eyes bloodshot and puffy. There was something oddly endearing about it, though. “I don’t know where to go,” he said in a quiet voice. “I have never had to stay in the mortal world before.”
“You can stay with me,” you said. “But you’re going to have to pull your weight.”
 He looked at you archly, drawing himself up in a way that could have made him look impressive, except the effect was ruined by his running makeup. “And what does that mean, exactly?”
You smiled. “You’re going to have to get a job.”
 Two weeks later, Elwain came stumbling into the house and fell face-first onto the couch.
“How was work?” you asked. Elwain let out a tortured groan. “That good, huh?”
“Every day I work there and don’t curse someone is a miracle,” he said, voice still muffled in the cushions.
“I mean, you’re doing pretty good. And the tip money is really something,” you said. It was odd to see Elwain in a cheap fast-food uniform, but even that couldn’t dampen his unearthly attractiveness. There had been a small gaggle of people who’d been leaving generous tips along with some suggestive compliments.
Elwain crawled across the couch and planted his head in your lap. You drew your fingers slowly through his hair. “I don’t see why I have to work a job. I could glamour a few stones into diamonds and we would be set for life.”
You snorted. “The illusion would wear off and selling diamonds isn’t as easy as you seem to think it is. If you’re going to live in the mortal world, you need to live like a mortal.”
Elwain rolled his eyes. “You are a slave driver.”
“Yeah, I’m so cruel,” you laughed. “Maybe next time, I’ll let the assassins get you.”
Elwain sat up. His face had a tendency to flush patchily, with red spreading unevenly over his skin. It was oddly humanizing. “It was rather impressive, that move with the knife under your dress,” he said. “You were far more clever than I gave you credit for.”
“Thank you,” you said, a little smug. “Us mortals are quite impressive, aren’t we?”
“Hmph.” Elwain’s blush deepened. “Yes, well. Out of all the mortals I could have picked, I’m quite pleased it was you.” He curled up in your lap. His face nestled into the crook of your neck. “You are quite a special mortal.”
“Hm.” You smiled. “I think I’ll take that as a compliment.”
You could feel Elwain’s mouth move against your skin and the soft rush of his breath as he laughed. “Good. It was intended as such.”

-Rivals- Hermione Granger x Female Reader
    ☼-☪-☼
    Kody: I’m using the owls grading system for the story so if that’s not right, sue me i guess idk. 
    Movie/Show: Harry Potter, ignoring the storyline
    House/Year: Ravenclaw / 7th year
    Request:  Can I request a bold ravenclaw reader (her attitude almost could pass as a slytherin ngl) she's been Hermione's rival when it comes to grades and they DON'T get along very well. Reader is the opposite of mione's reserved personality. But rivals don't kiss and make out with each other secretly in the lavatory 😭 pls enemies to lovers (with some tension;) ykyk and then one day, they walk the great hall hand in hand and everyone is like don't they find each other insufferable?
    Possible Triggers/Warnings: if you don’t like lesbians get the hell off my page, sexual tension, enemies to lovers trope, cursing
    ☼-☪-☼
    love came unexpectedly at times, you learned that at young age from fairy tales and such. Well all kids did, but kids eventually grew up and came to the realization that fairy tales were exactly what they were, fairy tales. Fiction. Not real. 
    people could call you cold hearted or rude, but you would describe yourself as blunt or brutally honest. Never afraid to speak your mind or point out injustice when you saw fit. To put it simpler terms, professors at Hogwarts preferred you didn’t speak at times. 
    “Your too outspoken Ms. L/n” 
    “Stick to your academics Ms. L/n”
    “You wouldn’t be in detention so much so if kept your mouth shut Ms. L/n”
    merlin, you were exhausted of hearing your own last name. You guessed the only reason you weren’t reprimanded as worse as the Weasley Twins was because you were one of Hogwarts brightest witches, always excelled in academics, in every subject. 
    you couldn’t explain it to others even if you tried other then it just came naturally. Your parents, when they were attended Hogwarts were both just as naturally skilled in there studies as you were. So you must have inherited there ‘big brain’ as your mother said many times before.
    you were never one to gloat though, it was never your style. You were more humble about what you could accomplish. That was until she got involved. That egoistical, hypocritical, Gryffindor girl. Hermione Granger became the bane of your existence early into your fifth year. 
   until then Ms. Granger had been the top of all her classes, no one even came close to her intelligence, naming her ‘The Brightest Witch At Hogwarts’ and Hermione wore that title with pride. Being a Muggle born put a target on her head as well as stereotypes.
    most students and some staff almost immediately came to the conclusion she wasn’t capable of achieving goals that regular half or pure bloods could. It was a terrible way to think, but it was unfortunately the reality of being involved with the wizarding world. 
   Hermione was lucky to have friends like she did that cared about her no matter who she was or what she became, but it didn’t stop her need to feel validated in her academics. It was the one thing no one could giver her shit for, because she was the best at it and no one else was. 
   until that fateful fifth year that was mentioned earlier. It was the time when you finally got your mind and heart into your studie. You blew past most of the student body rather quickly, earning the title of the fastest turn around at Hogwarts.
    it was nice
    then it wasn’t, for Hermione of course 
    ☼-☪-☼
    fifth year / past
    “It seems we have two students with an Outstanding this time around” Professor Flitwick spoke as the exams from the previous week had landed neatly onto the wooden desk in front of you. “congratulations Ms. Granger and Ms. L/n”
    Hermione’s head perked up like a cat who had heard a bag of hard food shake from the nest room over, eager. She had never heard that name before, it didn’t come as much as an surprise though considering how big Hogwarts was. She leant to the left where Harry Potter sat. 
    “Who’s L/n? Do you know her?” she asked, casually though Harry knew her better then most. He gave her a half hearted shrug “No clue, try Ron” he suggests. Hermione nods once before leaning over to the right, where the Weasley sat, scowling at his exam. 
    “Mum’s going to kill me” he muttered, bringing no reaction to Granger’s face. He never studied. “Ron, do you know who this L/n is?” she repeated the question she gave to Harry. Ron turns his head away from the parchment and to Hermione. 
   his brows furrowed as he searches the corners of his mind for where he had heard the name from, until the visible light bulb popped over his head- well not so visible actually. “Oh um- Y/n L/n. she’s a Ravenclaw, her parents are certified geniuses. They work at the ministry. Department of magical education”
   his words did not soothe the wracking thought in the young Granger’s mind. “Certified geniuses?” Hermione echos. “If that’s so how come she’s only getting Outstandings now? she must have cheated somehow” she thought aloud. 
    “I surely didn’t cheat”
   like an owl Hermione’s head turned over her shoulder, her two Gryffindor pals doing the same. In her sight was a girl, her age, in a Ravenclaw robe. She had S/C skin with H/L H/C hair and E/C eyes that were staring back at her. Hermione was almost stunned into silence- keyword being almost. 
    “the explain the good grade all of the sudden, L/n?”
   you looked rather confused. You had never met the girl and she was accusing you of cheating because you had never gotten an Outstanding before? Was this a prank of some sort or fever dream? “I studied for once. You have no right accusing me, i don’t even know you that well”
    Harry placed a hand upon Hermione’s shoulder, signaling for her to stop before she caused a scene. Looking back, she should have listened “No right? I have a right to point out people who are just trying to cheat their way through school while people like us actually care about our grades”
    what the Gryffindor girl wasn’t expecting was for you to start laughing. Her friend, Cho Chang joining in, finding it just as equally hilarious. Hermione’s face turned just as bright as Ron’s hair. “What is so funny?” you and Cho slowly come to a stop, breathing in and out. 
    “what’s funny is that your ego is so incredibly large, so much so that it can’t comprehend that someone, not a Gryffindor either was able to match your intelligence. Now shove off ” you said it all with a grin on your face, because you certainly knew you were right. 
    and from that day, you both despised each other
    ☼-☪-☼
    seventh year / present
    and with every exam, every questioned called on by a teacher, you fastly became Hermione’s rival. It was a term Cho used, but you didn’t really see it that way since you weren’t competing with her. You never studied harder to make sure you got the same grade, never tried to sabotage her in any way. 
    you didn’t care much about it actually
    but you did quite enjoy her face, the way her nostrils flared up an her cheeks turned a bright red in anger. It was cute seeing her so mad. Sending er a wink or sly grin when she glared at you became a daily routine as well. When at first you ignored her you now loved annoying her.
    never having to say a word was probably your favorite part. 
    that’s probably when feelings began to mix into it, but you either didn’t notice or refuse to acknowledge them at all. You genuinely thought you hated this girl, so why in the world would you ever think you liked her? Makes sense, right? Were not even going to mention the questioning your sexuality.
    “Sit still while i pass out your exams from yesterday. Once you recieve your paper you may get up and leave” 
    “You think if Snape got laid he wouldn’t be such a prick?” the Slytherin boy spoke, leaning towards you. turning your head ever so slightly, you lock eyes with Draco “Why are you even sitting here?” you whisper back, giving him a mock astonished look.
   he rolls his grey eyes, shrugging his shoulders “You never talk to me outside of class anymore” he grumbles. Is he- Is this- What is happening? “That’s because your a little shit and pushed Neville in the hallway yesterday” yeh, you caught his dumbass. 
    Draco’s eyes widen a bit, not knowing you had been in the hallway during the crime. “You saw that?- what are you his protector?” he says, clearly as an insult, but oh little did he know that you were indeed exactly what he just said and would say it with pride.
    “Yes-”
    “Ms. L/n, Outstanding as usual as well Mr. Malfoy. Good work, the both of you” Snape places the exams in front of each of you, but you were both to busy staring in shock. This bitter, old, mean, crude man just compliment you. Merlin, you had finally gotten fathers approval
    (what in the fuck am i writing)
    “Is this heaven?” Draco questioned, staring bug eyed forward. 
    “No”
    “How do you know?”
    “Cormac is here”
    “Yeah your right, feelings over” both you and Draco sighed, turning to look at each other before laughing quietly. He was a pretty chill dude sometimes. “What!?” the loud screech filled your ears. All heads turned behind you, so you followed that and saw the one and only Hermione Granger. 
    she was huffing and puffing. You feared for the stick and straw houses in the world for a moment. Harry quickly stood up and pushed her shoulders down, forcing her back into her seat “I've never gotten an Exceeds Expectations before” Hermione sputters out. 
    she
    got
    what
    now?
    oh this was rich, absolutely hilarious, so much so that Draco had already began to laugh. “Poor Granger, guess you really aren’t the brightest witch” he taunted. Hermione looked up, glaring daggers at the Slytherin. Merlin, he had such a big mouth.
    then her brown eyes strayed to you, but you only pursed your lips together, providing her no emotion to work off of. In a haste, she collected her things, leaving the cursed exam on the table nd rushing out the door, both Ron and Harry calling out for her. 
    fuck
    standing up, you grab your bag and look down at Draco. His laughter comes to an end and he looks up at you “What?” he asked. You copied his dementor singers from third year, making him look at your hands. You took that time to reach down and flick his forehead. 
    he pulls away, his palm rubbing his head in circles “Bloody hell, what was that for?!” he exclaimed. What an idiot. “This is why we don’t hang out” you deadpan before finally going to exit the classroom, leaving a grumbling, mumbling Draco. Something about you being  ‘mean friend’
    ☼-☪-☼
    only having ten minutes until Charms class you began to search the halls. Merlin where had she run off too? The school wasn’t THAT big- okay maybe it was. You had almost called quits, making a mental note to check up on her during lunch when you passed the restroom.
    sniffling and crys were heard. You’ll admit, it kind off hurt to hear. Taking a few steps backwards, you use the palm off your hand to slowly push the door open so it wouldn’t creak like the old shit it was. When it was open just enough for you to fit through, you slip in. 
    gazing around, you see Hermione bent over the sink, sobbing. You could hear her voice becoming rougher by the second as she destroyed her vocal cords. “Granger?” you say, staying a few feet behind her. Hermione looks up in the mirror, spotting you behind her. 
    her distraught expression quickly shifted to anger “You” she seethed. Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion “Me?” you say back, crossing your arms. “Leave me the hell alone L/n!” she shouts, angry tears flooding down her cheeks. Raising your hands, you offer your surrender.
    “Shit, sorry. I was just trying to see if you were okay” you admit. Hermione turns on her heels, facing you directly this time before speaking “Oh so now your my friend, your a bully! All you do is step on my toes and try to make me look like a fool!”
    “Are you on fucking drugs Granger? Not once have i ever gone out my way to harm you of any sort. Your the one who is obsessed with trying to be better then me and i never gave a shit. I never wanted to be your rival for three years and i certainly never bullied you!”
    the words you spoke went out one of Hermione’s ears and out the other. For someone as smart as her, she could be quite dense when angry “You don’t get to play the saint, L/n! I have spent those three years studying as hard as i can and you don’t even have to try!” 
   throwing your hands up in the air a crazy person because she was honestly starting to make your brain hurt quite a bit, you laugh loudly “Oh my- no one asked you too! What is so wrong with us being the same?! ” you shouted, finally raising your voice as much as she had.
    “Because your not a Muggle! You don’t know what it’s like to have everyone you meet already assume your not worth their time just because your parents aren’t witches or wizards!” she crept towards you and which each step she took you took a step right the fuck back.
    this chick wasn’t going to hit you, right?
    “I have never judged you for your blood status Granger, i frankly could care less. What i do judge you for is you know, the giant ego thing” you spat back only causing her to gasp in offense “I do not have an ego!” she yells, stepping into your boundaries basically.
   you had tried to back up like before, but you were pressed up against a wall at this point. “Yes you do and it’s as big as Hagrid!” you reply. Hermione grabs the collar of your white uniform shirt, pulling you down a bit so her face was inches from yours, trying to intimidate you.
    “Take it back!” she threatens. In that moment your eyes scanned her face, noting her almost perfect skin, her brown eyes that looked more hazel up close then far away, and her lips. They looked so soft and inviting. You couldn’t quite understand why you were thinking like this all of the sudden.
    but it felt right, so right
    in a swift motion you place your lips on Hermione’s. You had thought she’d pull away, but only half a second later her arms were wrapped around your neck, pulling you as close as possible to her. You tangled one of your hands into her light brown wavy mess and the other pushed on the small of her back. 
    the kiss was messy and sloppy, not amount of anything really could make it appropriate. How did you two go from fighting to almost ripping each others uniforms off? A question no one could really answer but yourself as well Hermione. 
    it was over as soon as it began with Hermione pulling away, leaning her forehead against yours. You could make out the small smile on her face, it made you smile as well. “That was-” she started to speak, but was stopped by her own laughter. 
    “Yeah” you breathed out. What had just happened?
        ☼-☪-☼
    four months later
    ever since that day you and Hermione would casually meet up in the lavatory to kiss and feel up on each other after, btween, during classes. Anything really. You both had also not interacted at all outside of these visits. Just stayed away from each other as much as possible.
    most people thought you two had either made up after three years of rivalry or had decided to no longer interact with each other at all. Little did they know right? Speaking of that, you pull away from Hermione, panting for air “We have divination in three minutes” you spoke. 
   her face turned to worry instantly making you grin to yourself “Godric, i have to get out of here. Wait a couple minutes” she gathered her belongings and rushed out the restroom not even leaving you with an goodbye kiss. How rude. After about five minutes or so you leave as well
    once you get to class you look around the room and spot Hermione already sat with Harry and Ron on one side of the arch like sitting area for the students. “Y/n!” oh not again. Turning your head to the right, you spt the Slytherin boy with his mates.
   this guy just doesn’t quit. You plop yourself next to Draco Malfoy “I thought you were going to ignore me again” he admits. Ignoring his statement, you gaze around the people at your table “Where’s Parkinson? If i’m going to be stuck with you gits and Theo i rather it be with her” 
   Theo cracks a smile while Draco rolls his eyes “She’s sick, stuck in her dorms” he explains. You nod mindlessly and look over at Hermione. She was brushing through her hair with her fingers, trying to make it look like you weren’t tugging on it just minutes ago. 
    “What’s that on your neck?” Harry asks, moving the top part of Hermione’s robe with his finger, causing her to swat his hand away “It’s just a bug bite” she says with haste. quick thinking, that’s kinda cute. For some odd reason you liked seeing her explain her way out of a hickey that you gave her. 
    class soon started, but you kept your inventive gaze on her. It was adorable how she would catch you staring and turn a nice shade of red. It brought a smug smile to your face each time. Professor Trelawney had called upon Hermione to ask a question, but she seemed to be too busy avoiding your gaze. 
    “My dear, Ms. Granger” Trelawney said for maybe the third time until Hermione finally fell back down to reality. She looked at the Professor who gave her a kind smile “Oh um-” the Gryffindor put on a nervous smile, her eyes looking to you. You sent her a wink.
    merlin you were such an asshole
    Hermione looked at her lap, trying to muster up the words, any words actually. Her savior wore glasses “Hermione isn’t feeling to well. Can Ron and i take her to the hospital wing?” Harry asked. What a buzzkill. Trelawney nods, waving her hand to the direction of the door. 
    Harry tapped Hermione’s shoulder while Ron grabbed her things and off they went. 
        ☼-☪-☼
    a week later
    “I have to head to dinner, you should too. I saw that you didn’t eat during lunch” Hermione spoke, buttoning her uniform shirt. You smile, looking into the mirror so you could fix your hair “Watching me Granger?” you ask, turning away from your reflection.
    “You know i worry about your health” she said, which only made your smile wider “What is that stupid smile for?’ Hermione questions, an amused laugh in her tone. Shrugging, you lean against the sink counter “Stupid? I thought you liked my quote on quote ‘Goofy smile’” 
    Hermione shakes her head, grabbing her bag from the floor “I better see you at dinner or i’ll drag you there myself” she said playfully. An idea popped into your mind. “Then drag me” you smirk, tilting your head to the left. Hermione looks at you, shaking her head again. “You know i can’t”
    “Why not? It’s been four months. I would like to be your-” you stopped mid sentence. You both had never really gave each other labels before. It was always just the casual make out and flirting, but now you were much more. Fuck it “I would like to be your girlfriend in public”
    Hermione’s brow eyes went wide as she heard those words. It becoming a little too real. You saw her conflicted face and immediately felt some sort of shame. Averting your gaze to the ground, you take a deep breath. “Forget i said anything” 
    “No!- i mean. I’m ready. Plus i’m tired of being distracted by you during class” Hermione lightened the mood just a tad. You look back up at her, cracking a half smile “I’m most likely still going to distract you” you point out, making her chuckle. Cute.
    she inhales sharply “Let’s do this” she states confidently, letting out the breath. She reached out, opening her hand for you to grab. In that small gesture, you knew you would be with this woman for as long as you lived. Grabbing her hand, you intertwined your fingers with hers. 
    ☼-☪-☼
    hand in hand, you walk into the great hall. Heads turned and pupils dialated at the sight of you and Hermione walking in together. You honestly felt a little self conscious until you saw the bright smile of Cho and Luna as well as Draco who gave you a hidden thumbs up.
    both you and Hermione took  seat at the Gryffindor table. “So Hermione, how long as this been going on?” Harry asked. Hermione glances at you before her best friend “Four months, one week.” she said, gleaming with pride at her memory. 
    Harry looked taken aback at the time, but gave you both a smile “Well at least you both are getting along finally” he says, Ron nodding beside “Yeah- getting along” the Weasley jokes. You laugh a bit before leaning over to kiss the temple of Hermione's head.
