Romantic Tarot Card Pairings

Tagged by @aceghosts to do this quiz!

Lorelei Capulet x Luna Pajeot

the tower + the lovers

meeting this person shook your whole world. crumbling down is everything you thought you knew about life and love. their warmth, their generosity, their naivete, their knowing...! you don't know how anything made sense before them. all you know is that nothing will make sense afterwards. deck: the tarot of the divine by yoshi yoshitani.

Basil O'Malley x Eike Breisacher

the two of cups + the star

your romance is a wish granted. finally, finally, they're here. finally, *it's* here! the time where you don't have to feel lonely anymore - you'll never feel that way ever again. laughter, joy, sweetness, kisses - be at ease. all of these are things you have found someone to share with. your love is a dreamy fantasy of love and devotion and miracles. at first, your chest gets too tight when they're around - until they become as natural as the air in your lungs. deck: ethereal visions tarot.

Rouen Blake x Zofia Bosak

the devil + the emperor

there's only one religion for the two of you, and that religion is the other. you two are very nearly unhealthily obsessed with one another, and that's just how you like it. when they touch you, they can feel the blood pumping under the surface of your skin. your hearts beat for one another. when the day comes that one stops, the other will soon after. until then, you both will live out your lives in perfect, gothy paradise. deck: the tarot of vampyres.

Helena x Geras

knight of pentacles + the magician

if there's something you want, you will GET IT. nothing escapes your fingertips. after all, you're the power couple. your pairing sparks pure cosmic energy. you're fiercely driven to your goals - whether that be status, fortune, or power. you're also fiercely protective of one another. with the knight's earthy energy, you both prefer to purposefully make your way towards your ambitions, rather than playing cards too early or acting too loosely. meanwhile, the magician's half makes gives you a little fire. if they get too close, onlookers and threats to your relationship may get burned. deck: modern witch tarot.

Eike is Lara’s best friend, they’ve known each for several years now

She’s never had any animals for pets, but rather plants

History: Eike left Germany when she was young, thanks to her father destroying the family and her mother wanting nothing to do with her, and making his daughter hate him even more when he remarried and had a child with another non-magical German woman in Scotland 

She grew up thinking that maybe, if she found her mother, she could make the latter take her back as a child, and avoid having to grow up in a home feeling like a runt that nobody wanted; it was only when she met Lara that Eike no longer felt completely alone, as two undesirables had each other; after the Witch Hunt in 2014, Eike stayed with Lara while the latter recovered from her severe injuries and visited her after she was able to leave the hospital

Eike buried herself in studies of the earth and nature to avoid her growing feelings of loneliness and abandonment, leading to her becoming a geoscientist after she moved away from her father’s home.

ocs as kinds of sufferings

ocs as tragic love archetypes

Bunny

Yearning

The pain in your chest bubbles knowing that what you want may never be yours. You're lost in a fantasy world, or consumed by what you wish you were or had as opposed to what you do. It's hard to appreciate what's around you when you're appreciating the hope of what could be instead.

03. CUPID'S BROTHER

You have been love adjacent all your life. The faint spill of another story that softly grazed your shoulders when stood too close. Whether by design or not, you have yet to build a clear image of what love means to you. The interlocked weaving of a picture locket bound to strand of hair when hugged to tight, the sunpatch that meets your soles in glaring sun dried fields when running with a friend. You are not far from love, but moving between line of collision and avoidance at all times. A faint glimmer on sea lake surface of what could be. There is time to find what you want, find whether it's enough as is. Love is in you, breathing in another day. Continue as you are, realizing the love that is slowly blossoming in your life as it sharpens and clears in brushstrokes.

Sage

Yearning

The pain in your chest bubbles knowing that what you want may never be yours. You're lost in a fantasy world, or consumed by what you wish you were or had as opposed to what you do. It's hard to appreciate what's around you when you're appreciating the hope of what could be instead.

07. FATHER'S SON

Breathe down your own neck, it's the sound of smashing fist against furniture in another room again. The wringing hem of cloth and pattern of an escalating heart. Love is tumultous to you. There is grief and disguised forgiveness to damp down the yearning. A permanent fear of tender flesh spilling out, still- you must refrain of growing attached to the fear you had installed into you. Let go of the notion that love is still to be cherished with a hole in the head. Scrub crimson ancestry off wooden floors and try again tomorrow when your hands don't shake cold from the blood loss. Love isn't a fist to escape. Fill the hole in your head with cotton and know you are to be adored. You are deserving of an embrace without flinching.

Eike

Self inadequacy

You crack under the weight of your own percieved inability. How can you be enough for anyone else when you're just barely enough for yourself? Insecurity causes you to have little back-bone, and so you fail to reach your full potential when it comes to what you're best at. You sabotage opportunities with fear you'll fail before you've begun. It hurts to never feel like your best is enough, but setting your standards too high or too low ensures it.

04. SUB ROSA

Love is a game of here and there to you. Whether catching glimpse of another's neckline or grazing a knuckle between knocking shoulders of passing by. You have learned to adore in secrecy, the rawness of an outright confession to be spoken a foreign terror. There is ease in pursuing the unavailable, to remain within the space of possibility and nestle the fuzzy words another could say to make or break your day. Instability spun itself into mysterium and while the certainty of love in aging isn't to be forced upon anyone, there is a miniscule part of you testing the limits of ambiguity. Hold down the feeling and settle in the leather seat of a car, kiss the corner of a mouth and say how you feel. Your affection in its vulnerability is to be seen, lift the veil and do not fret when an honest word turns into all you have secretly yearned for. You are meant to be noticed and openly loved.

29 January, 2014

“ Are ye alright ?”

Eike felt her partner's hand touch hers and their fingers intertwine. She makes an effort to sit up, Bunny reaches for her back to help her up. “ Am not  supposed t’be here-'' The Scot continues in a hushed voice, “-the bastards said I wasn’t supposed tae leave my room…” 

Their eyes flicker toward the door, a scowl taking over their features. It’s Eike who brings them back when she smiles. “ They have no idea who they were talking to,” She whispers. Her free hand finds her hair, pushes it back behind her ear, then the side of her head. The pads of her fingers linger on the bandage and her smile slowly fades into blankness. “ Bunny? How long was I asleep? How-” She stops before she can break down, blinking to try and keep the tear from falling. A few manage to slip from the corners of her eyes and the ginger gives up.

“ Today marks a week,” Bunny tells her. They wipe Eike’s cheeks with their thumb, their hand cradles her cheek.“ It’s not bad-Sage an’ Ah aren’t in bad shape Ah mean. Nothing worth keeping us here for a fuckin’ week. Ah think they plan on taking us to the Council when-” They shut their mouth. The Scot looks up at the ceiling to keep themself from shedding any tears as well, their dark irises glittering in the artificial light. 

Eike attempting to sit catches their attention, causing them to put their hands on her shoulders. “ No’ a good idea, Shortcake,' they warn her. '' Lara's still in recovery-Ah know where she’s being kept, it’s just hard to go to her without one of th’nurses stopping me.” 

“ So she is-she’s alive right? The doctors and-and everyone helped her?” Eike manages. She swallows when the images of her best friend having her throat slit assault her memory: the large knife the hunters used, how they threw Lara down and beat her, when they stabbed her first and cursed her existence, then they picked her up by a fistful of her hair…

“ She’s as alive as ever,” Bunny responds, not bothering to conceal their own surprise. “ When Ah last saw her, she was asleep. Ah don’t ken if she’s even opened her eyes yet.” 

Eike lets out a shaky sigh of relief; even with how much she aches and feels like screaming until her lungs give out, she’s able to decide that she must go on for Lara. That they all must go on for each other.

Her arms gently lift and Bunny leans into her embrace. They run their fingers through her hair while Eike tries to keep herself from crying, going so far as to bite the inside of her cheek. Bunny is keeping it together for her, so she shall do the same. 

“ Where’s Sage?” She finally asks, her voice cracking.

She pulls herself away to look at Bunny when they don’t answer. “ Where is he?” Eike repeats. 

“ Asleep…I haven’t told him where Lara is.” They reveal, “ He cuidn’t get to her like Ah cuid. Ah told him he’s no more of use than th’rest of us if he doesn’t focus on getting better. Of course I didn’t have to tell him-he’s not an absolute fool.” 

Bunny suddenly flinches, puts a finger to their lips, cracks begin to run across their skin, eyes-everywhere-before they allow themself to fall off the side of the bed, breaking and falling apart into a black dust that leaves no trace of existence on the floor. 

“ Miss Breisacher?” A nurse announces from behind the curtain. “ Miss Breisacher, are you awake?” She pokes her head through the small safe, making eye contact with a  frozen Eike. 

“ It’s time for your pain medicine, and I’ve brought dinner as well.” The nurse enters the curtained space, a tray balanced on the palm of her hand. 

Eike realizes she doesn’t really feel any pain right now. She should be in agony, considering her wounds. They must have her taking something heavy. 

She offers the nurse a couple of nods, her eyes follow the older woman as she pulls the table from beside the bed and sets the tray down in front of the teenager. A big bowl of steaming soups has been placed down in the center, crackers and fruit complimenting it. At the corner a couple of round pills and a small plastic cup of water are waiting. Eike takes them first then reaches for the crackers, freezing like a deer once again when a cold hand stops her. 

“ Sorry, Miss Breisacher, but I must ask you to open your mouth and lift your tongue. Can’t have you spitting these out after I leave.” The nurse speaks politely though her face gives away that what she’s describing has happened too many times for her to trust her patients anymore. 

Eike pulls her arm away before obliging. 

The nurse's lips tighten. “ Thank you, Miss.” She leaves without saying anything else. The whole exchange feels strange. 

“ Are ye okay, Shortcake?” Bunny’s head pops up on the ginger’s right side and they climb onto the end of the bed. “ Ah think they made her stay for the night shift to punish me-Ah didn’t exactly make a good impression wi’ her,” They admit. “ Ah didn’t fight her-Ah just may have scared her a bit. They don’t want to understand that Ah didn’t recognize where Ah was, the assholes.”

“ She made me take medication-she said it was pain medication but the other patients have spit it out before?” Eike raises her brows at the Scot. 

Bunny only makes a small ‘pfft’ noise. “ The mean bitch is havin’ her fun…” They mutter, more to themself than Eike. “ Don’t worry, it’s pain medication an’ sleep medication. The strong stuff-which means I don’t have much longer with ye tonight.” 

“ Will you stay awhile before I sleep?” The ginger pleads. She reaches out for Bunny and they intertwine their fingers.

“ Always, my sweet. Those dimwits can’t keep me away from ye.”

Manat

to be seen, to be understood without having to speak

you yearn to be understood, but more importantly, to understand yourself. your emotions are often tumultuous, and tend to go from one feeling to another with strength and speed. others may call you disloyal or two-faced, but your feelings are valid, no matter how fleeting or impermanent they are. because of this, you often hurt the ones you love even if it is the last thing you want. pain feels like a permanent fixture in your life and that there seems to be no end to your behaviours. you are fire and you burn. at least it is a beautiful sight.

Coyote

to be heard, to leave behind a legacy

you yearn for recognition, to be known for your talents and creations. you tend to feel like an outsider, like the world separates you from the rest of humanity with a glass wall. you peer in and wish you could join them, but they can never understand you, let alone hear you. you are passionate and full of love to give, but something is holding you back--it's you. you're holding yourself back. why are you so afraid of taking the jump? you'll never be remembered if you stay silent. you're letting yourself be forgotten

Eike

to hold a hand to your lips and call it yours

 you yearn for a lover, a pure kind that fills you with sunlight and gold. you are full of so much love to give, yet it seems that no one wants to take them, to take you like you have taken them into your heart and chained it to your soul until the ends of the earth. you don't know when you are wanted, but more importantly, you don't know when you are unwanted. sometimes you are desperate in your desire, and ask for too much just because you've given parts of yourself like unwanted commodity. it's okay to stop looking. don't worry, they'll find you.

Whumptober 2023

Prompt No. 02 : "They don't care about you."

     “ She’s so fucking dumb!” A shrill voice sings out. “ Did you hear her crying? Even that sounds ugly!”

Another shoe imbeds itself into the ginger’s side, sending her rolling until she hits a brick wall. When she falls on her back, the witch focuses her gaze on the cloudy sky above. It’ll end soon, they’ll get bored and leave her to rot alone. 

Fingers run themselves through Eike’s hair and pull, forcing her head back. “ When did you dye this, hm? Trying to be something you’re not like usual.” The blonde lets go of Eike and folds her arms as she stands above the latter. “ What’s wrong-don’t wanna have to speak English? Or you can’t?” 

“ She speaks English, Miranda-you heard her remember?” A boy with hair just a bit lighter than the German’s speaks up. “ What?” He says when Miranda narrows her eyes at him. 

For a second, the corner of Eike’s bloodied mouth turns upward; she tries to correct herself but takes too long, the blonde turning just in time to notice the expression. She shows her teeth and grabs the ginger, forces against the wall and straddles her, the bully’s nails digging into Eike’s throat. “ You’re nothing, hear me you commie bitch? Nothing. That’s why you’re here-if you mattered to anyone they would’ve come to save you by now. Your daddy, or at least that hag that tries so hard to get your attention but…They don’t care about you.” 

Miranda lets go of Eike soon as she eyes the tears on her cheeks. “ Christ, get a hold of yourself-” She stands and backs away, her lips contorting in discomfort, “-it’s the truth.” She ends up rolling her eyes when the witch falls forward and starts to sob into her hands. “ I thought people preferred to know the truth about themselves…” 

“ They do.” 

The duo spin around, mouths hanging open at the fact that they hadn’t heard a single sound earlier. Yet the Scot stood in front of them. The only movement they make is tilting their head to the side, bright white eyes resting on Eike behind Miranda and the boy. “ So this is what you spend your time doing instead of studying, is it Miranda?” Bunny addresses the bully. 

When they make eye contact with her, Miranda ducks her head. “ No-I study a lot-what are you talking about?” Irritated, she tries to accept the challenge. But looking into eyes like stars temporarily blind the girl. She shuts her eyes, and it’s the sound of shoes hitting the pavement that causes her to open them and look to her right, witnessing the boy stumbling down the alley without looking back. 

“ Y-You-” 

Miranda turns back and sees nothing in front of her. She spins around, finding that not even Eike is sitting behind her anymore. The girl freezes first, then runs for her life in the same direction the boy did, not wanting to wait for whatever punishment the Scot may have had in store for her. 

Above, sitting on the ledge of the building, the witches watch the bully run; Eike leans into Bunny’s side when the latter wraps an arm around her. “ I’ll find her later.” The Scot quietly promises. “ Are you alright, Eike? We should get you to a hospital.” 

When she doesn’t answer, Bunny looks down at the ginger. “ Hey, it’ll be okay. I know it isn’t okay right now but-” 

“ You came for me.” 

Eike meets Bunny’s gaze, their eyes now a soft, glittering gold. “ You came to help me,” she continues. “ Well hell yes-all of that shit Miranda said, Eike? It’s bullshit.” Bunny asserts, their other hand reaching to caress Eike’s face. “ I care about you.”
