#I HOPE YOU LIKE THIS WAS REALLY FUN

"you've looked better" + eivor/vili or whoever your heart desires from AC ✨

As the Ostara festival dies and early morning sun breaks a powdery blue streak across the treeline, Eivor heads for Ravensthorpe's hills.

It’s not a retreat, exactly. There is love and laughter and joy still to be found on the streets of the settlement; drunken confessions of lovers, a farmer sound asleep with his arms wrapped around a goat, the faint jingle of coins and boxes being moved from one place to another as the early-rising townsfolk prepare for another day. But Eivor has always found comfort on the periphery, in the whisper of wind and the ruffle of grass, long ago in the snows of Norway and now in the lush green of Mercia. Alone, the worlds within her feel aligned. At peace.

The solitude doesn’t last. 

She hears Vili before she can see him, his long steps crunching the gravel underfoot, sloping shoulders clear in the silvery outline of her mind’s eye. He is never far nowadays, though there has always been truth to that, even with an ocean between them. 

“You found me,” Eivor remarks as he approaches. There is part of her that is still surprised by that, by how easily it comes to him. The knowing of where she’ll go before she does, how she might react to an unfamiliar face before her. 

“I always find you,” he huffs, as though he can read the thought plain across her forehead. He sits beside her, and their movements are fluid and instinctive; her hand twisting around his thigh, his arm wrapping across her shoulders. They’re both caked in the same layer of mud and bruises, scraped and slightly bloodied. 

(For a moment, Eivor allows herself to wonder how many echoes of this moment exist. Her and him, sitting alone where the wind gusts and the animals scurry, looking over a home that is theirs and has never quite fit at the same time. The heat of him beside her like a beacon, a second skin. How many of these echoes live in Norway that are lost to her now? She never wants to forget another for as long as she lives.)

“You’ve looked better, Wolf-Kissed,” Vili murmurs beside her, turning his face - and a blooming black eye - towards her. “You’ve smelled better, too.”

Eivor tuts and shakes her head, resisting the urge to reach up and trace the line of the bruise. “You rolled in the same pig shit as I, Arse-Stick. And you are only jealous I won the brawl.”

Vili laughs at that, his great booming crow’s cackle, and does not deny it. 

Eventually they fall into a comfortable quiet, listening to Ravensthorpe come alive beneath them, watching the sky push its watery colours from east to west. Eivor knots a frayed string on Vili’s boot, dusts the worst of the muck off his knees. He tidies her braids and strokes his thumb along her scarred neck whilst gingerly prodding along his own jawline.

“Are your teeth all still there?” Eivor asks him when she notices. Vili only grins at her.

“I believe so,” he says, learning forwards. “Will you check?”

When Eivor reaches out and kisses him, pressing hard into Vili’s mouth and swallowing a hiss, she doesn’t feel conflict. There are no warring sides to her here. For so long she has sought her peace by pushing at the edges of her home, of her mind, never once thinking that peace might choose her. Follow her. How strange the concept is, and yet she can no longer imagine her life without it. 

She pushes him off, wipes a little blood from her lip that could be his or hers.

“You have one loose on the right,” she says, and turns back towards the sun.

Also have another “first words spoken to you are on your skin” soulmate AU idea where Kara is a journalist assigned to shadow the controversial CEO of L-Corp for the day. It’s a big deal for her to get this assignment, so of course she trips the second she’s near the other woman and tries awkwardly to redeem herself.

The CEO stares at her almost in shock, and then says nothing. At all. Ever, for the entire day.

Kara spends hours following Lena Luthor around trying to fill the silence, but no amount of questions get her to talk. Lena almost seems to be running away at some points - like she’s trying to lose her? - and the few times she’s managed to catch her actually talking to someone she goes silent the second she sees Kara.

She asks around if Miss Luthor is usually like this and everyone looks at her like she’s crazy. Apparently she’s the only one who gets the silent treatment. By the end of her first day shadowing she’s walking away with half a page of observations and not a single quote. Miss Grant is going to kill her.

But that’s okay. It’s fine, this isn’t over. She has four days of shadowing ahead of her and she’ll be damned if she doesn’t finish this with a quote from the woman herself. It’s only a matter of time.

still thinking about this episode. man. 💪💥

[quicklings]

I would posit that when—First off, it's fun to laugh and second off, sometimes when someone else laughs, it's very funny and then that makes you laugh. So I think that there might have been much more laughing at each other trying not to laugh. Yeah. Is this you explaining why you were crying laughing? Yeah.
