I've followed you for some time now and im always so shocked by the amount of delusional people tgat come onto ur blog with these crazy conspiracy theories and baseless claims and absolutely frozen takes. Like, the racism is astounding... and the fact they always try to be like "nooo im not racist!! i can say the n word bcuz im just so quirky and based!!! stop calling me out >>insert racial slur or some insult towards ur scars or literally any mention of some baseless conspiracy youve debunked a million times<<" Like that has to be so tiring. Keep your head up, queen.
bro just yesterday or the day before i was sitting there and thinking.. why is it that people make up so much batshit nonsense about me??? thatâs the thing that baffles me. i can understand and make sense of everything else, but shit like âthereâs a receipts blog which shows that menalez abused her ex gf and got deported for itâ âmenalez used to support hezbollah and be pro-terrorism and an islamic extremistâ âmenalez has servants that she beats and actually is lying about everythingâ âmenalezâs sister isnât even her sister or has a different father, bc her sister is visibly part black unlike herâ even saw people in the goldstar server lie about stupid shit like claiming i went by âmenadykeâ and switched urls bc people refused to call me by that like. HUH? how are people coming up with this many lies and W H Y? itâs insane. anyways sorry for the rant but basically im glad u said that bc thatâs something i donât get. itâs insanity

@ashayara girl I cannot keep up with all ur urls lol
so this was supposed to be the final part of this, and it was supposed to all come to a clear and concise finish.... but i donât think it will. on the bright side iâm 99 percent certain youâre the only one reading this and i know you wonât hold it against me.
but if, by any chance, anyone needs an explanation, I was just having a fucker of a time writing Asha and Euronâs fight, because as this entire piece makes it clear: I really suck at fight scenes. But, I mean, Iâm proud I stuck this whole thing out. All parts put together made 25 pages in a doc and I feel like for the most part I followed through. Maybe @ashayara will write it, maybe weâll all just imagine Asha stabbing her uncle 50 million times, or maybe Iâll finish this one day, but for right now I needed to put it down. Sorry Elsie. Still have mad love for you girl.
The sea was bizarrely silent beneath the prow of her ship. One ill omen among hundreds it seemed. If not for her oarsmen she doubted the tide would have carried them at all. The wind was still and suffocating, sticking to her lungs and dragging along her throat and chest as she tried to breathe normally. Everything felt wrong. She could taste bile behind her lips, and for a moment she gripped the railing of her deck thinking she might lose what little food sheâd managed to eat, but it stayed. She forced a breath and straightened her shoulders once more.
The Black Wind had been driven tirelessly forward since Victarion had told her of his plan earlier that morning, and it was late into the evening now. The light of the moon was cold and unforgiving above her, unimpeded by the clouds, and the only sound for miles was that of oars smacking against the surf. Beyond the moon a million stars danced in the black sky. How could such a picturesque evening feel so sinister?
âYou worry for her.â Qarl said quietly. He sounded surprised, and she could detect the slightest edge of disapproval in his tone. Just what he was currently disapproving of she wasnât sure; it felt like sheâd done everything wrong lately.
A huff of silent laughter rolled past her lips and shook her shoulders. With a half grin and a sideways glance she asked, âAre you jealous?â
It was cruel. She knew that it was the second sheâd said it. Her words were a barb that sliced like a blade into a still open wound. Theyâd scarcely spoken since her wedding, and when they had spoken it certainly hadnât been about her wife. It hadnât been said, but neither of them knew how to reconcile the relationship theyâd had before itâd happened, or even if they should try. Sheâd brought that painful reality out from the shadows and into the light with one careless sentence.
âHow do you think the witches will respond when they help win me a crown paid for with the blood of their own?â In truth she wasnât sure what her wife was to the witches. She held some station, by birthright as well as something to do with their religion, but that was the extent of her own knowledge on the subject. What she did understand, quite clearly, was that their marriage had been arranged to symbolize a promise to the witches. Beck was a breathing symbol of their alliance, and if Asha neglected or failed her wife, she failed them all. The witch king had given her this warning himself⌠and he did not seem to her to be the forgiving type. Asha shook her head. âIf we manage to defeat Euron and she dies, weâll be lucky if the witches with us now donât all turn on us. Their king wouldnât forgive that.â
Qarl was quiet, sullenly watching the waves. She couldnât tell if he was mulling over what sheâd said or covering up some unsightly emotion, or not paying attention at all.
âBut you worry over her.â He said finally. This time she could her anger straining his voice.
â...I do.â She said after a long, tense moment had passed. Though she didnât let herself dwell on that thought. The more she did the sicker she got. It was preferable to focus on the threats of the witches rather than the crushing guilt and bizarre sense of sadness that overwhelmed her when she thought about what Euron might do to her wife. Beck was vibrant and joyful and warm and---soft. Sheâd stand no chance against ironmen. If that light was snuffed out beneath her uncleâs boot, sheâd never put it out of her mind. At least she doubted she would live long enough to let that guilt consume her.
âWhat the hell is that?â Asha opened her eyes and turned back to Qarl, but her gaze didnât linger on him long. Behind him, against the midnight blue sky, a luminous orange cloud of mist was resting over the waters. At first she thought it was smoke, and that deep within the heart of a smog her ships were burning, but as they drew closer she could see it wasnât smoke at all.
âGo and get Cuyler.â She demanded, sending Qarl a cutting look. Cuyler was the only witch left on her ship. There was little need for strategy and war council now. They hadnât the time. Their only hope was to hit Euron hard and fast with everything they had and pray to the Drowned God for favor. Or---whatever witches prayed to.
Qarl all but ran across the ship, and Ashaâs gaze drifted from him to her sailors, who had all stopped to gape open-mouthed at the enormous cloud beyond them. Wordlessly they began to brace the sails and tie down anything loose for fear they were headed straight into the eye of a storm. Was it terror or excitement she saw in their eyes? Perhaps both. Should they die here in battle not a one would be turned away from the halls of the Drowned God.
Unless he forsakes us all. She thought. The Damphair had preached many a sermon about not spilling Ironborn blood. While most of the blood would likely be spilled by her allies, they did so in her name, and sheâd be a fool to let herself think sheâd get through the night without having to strike down any of her own.
All for a crown⌠She shook her head as she turned back to the problem at hand. More than just a crown now. My birthright has driven me here, perhaps, but now it has become so much more.
This war was its own beast now, with its own life. When her uncle had sounded the dragon horn that day, heâs blown life into its lungs. Tonight she would slay it and him in one fell swoop, and in doing so it would save her people from ruin. Ruin that could only come from serving under a man who cared only for his own whims.
âThe ships!â Asha startled a bit, having been so deeply lost in her own thoughts she hadnât heard anyone approach. Culyer was standing behind her, fast approaching the railing of the ship. His thick, scarred hands gripped at the sodden wood, and he smiled for the first time since sheâd met him.
âShips? I donât see any damn ships. Only that fog.â She jerked her head in the direction of the mist, but the witch only stared ahead.
âWhat fog, good queen?â He asked, not bothering to turn to face her. Though he did have the decency to drop the smile from his face given her tone.
âWhat fog?â She replied, her words hard and mocking, then she stopped and considered him. âWhat do you see?â
âNot but moonlight.â
Qarl cut in with a small, humorless laugh. âNo giant cloud of orange mist?â
Cuyler, who Asha was certain at this point didnât even remotely understand the concept of a joke at all, only looked at him as if he were the greatest idiot to ever sail the seas. âI see⌠Stop your ships. Drop anchor.â
âDrop the anchor?â She was starting to feel like a parrot she was repeating so much. Only that time it hadnât been on purpose. She was genuinely shocked that he thought itâd do them any good to stop when the enemy was in sight---well in his sight at least.
âIf you can see a mist where I can not the other witches must have surrounded your uncleâs boats in this mist to protect themselves.â
âDo you think all of your people can see through it?â
âAye, and likely your uncleâs wizard as well.â The witch peered back out into the distance, and she watched as the pupil of his eye grew to twice the size, and his eyes, as well as his tattoos took on a faint glow. âMost of his ships are still far from our own; all but one.â
He didnât need to tell her which one it was.
âIf the witches who spread the fog can keep up the spell, we can take but one or two ships onward and cut down this Crowâs Eye. After our retreat we can drown all that remain.â
Asha took a brief moment to think. The swirling mist seemed to be reaching out to them now, when theyâd felt miles away only a few moments ago. It was barely half a league from them now.
âSend someone to Victarionâs ship to help him navigate the fog. Have the rest of the fleet drop anchor. Bring the witch leaders here to me.â
Cuylerâs grin grew to something truly enormous and sharp and altogether horrific, âTo battle then!â
Her eyes lost focus of him for a moment, even though she tried her damnedest to watch him closely. There was a blur, either in her eye or in the very space where he stood, his body contorted, colors smeared across reality as if drawn by a thick brush of paint, and then flapping two mammoth wings in the air directly before her, an eagle appeared where Cuyler had stood. The dark golden brown of its feathers muddled with creamy ivory around its head, and its tail was as white as the sea foam. He was larger than her, larger than Qarl, with claws that could have pierced a suit of iron with but a twitch. The razor sharp beak rose to the sky, and he screamed out over the waters so loud that the sound overwhelmed all her senses and carried as far as the sea was long. The shrill, grating note struck inside her like lightning, then with a single flap of his wings, he shot into the sky and soared out toward the awaiting ships.
Their short journey toward the mist passed in the blink of an eye, and when the very tip of the prow reached out to touch it, the entire ship lurched. Behind her she heard a chorus of shouts as men braced themselves while the Black Wind came to a screeching halt. The vessel pitched forward, its tip bending down to nearly kiss the waves, and then like an angry stallion it reared back up and threw its weight forward obstinately.
âLift the oars! Pull them in!â She demanded, unable to release the rope clutched in her fingers lest she be pitched over the rail. The rough fiber clawed at her skin and chased away the normal chill of the sea to replace it with a raw, uncomfortable warmth. The bones of her fingers dug in harder, and she braced her boots against the deck as the residual motion rocked her ship like a childâs toy. When it was only just under control, she called the oarsmen to get back to work.
Asha took a steadying breath and then hurled herself toward the mast. Another rope found its way into her hand as she helped two other men grapple with the rebellious sails.
Eerily, it was not that the wind howled around them, nor that the waters below were wild, that couldnât have been farther from the truth. There was a gut piercing, blood chilling silence to the world around them. She could scarcely see ten feet in front of her, and the mist seemed to suck sound from the air around them.
âLĂĄta!â Came the cry of Ragna, but it was small and far away. Another voice echoed the word, and again and again. LĂĄta. LĂĄta. Until she could see the mist in front of her part, rolling like massive waves wide enough to allow them passage. The air rushed back into her lungs, and beneath her the ship settled.
âTheyâve resorted to blood magic.â The red-eyed woman said. âDeath drives this spell.â
Somehow sheâd appeared at the front of her ship without Asha noticing her at all, and the other witches were fast approaching too. Now their voices were whispers, but in their hands they each clasped long iron wands in white-knuckled grasps, repeating lĂĄta, lĂĄta, over and over, keeping the mist from touching the ship, pulling more away from the cloud foot by foot.
There were shadows of ships in the smog on either side of the boat. Euronâs fleet couldnât hope to move forward as their own vessels fought them. She watched in horror and astonishment as they lurched and toiled desperately on the still sea. And then she saw it, illuminated by a long stretch of moonlight, with mist lifting off its red hull and black sails; the Silence stopped its frantic rocking as the curtain of smoke pulled away. The ship swayed side to side like a drunk, spinning laboriously until finally it settled on the sea once more. They were closer now, nearly to the ship, and the soft light from the curling mist was just enough to see by. Through the long, narrow eye of her spyglass she could see that it was empty. Completely and utterly abandoned. Not even a shadow lingered on the deck.
Beyond Euronâs prized vessel, she watched the cloud forcibly tear in two around the floating fortress that was one of her treasure ships. It existed in a large bubble, sitting quietly beneath the starry sky, unplagued by the spell that had beset her uncleâs fleet.
âIs that his?â Harper demanded from her side. Asha took the spyglass away from her eye and gave a grim nod, but the Fox was not looking at her. Her rage was thinly veiled, and the effort that it took to contain it turned her soft face to stone. She was not panting, not audibly, but her chest heaved subtly. Was it fear? Excitement? Stress from fighting through the spell?
âAye. Thatâs it.â Was Ashaâs only reply.
The Fox needed nothing else. Her dark, predatory eyes shifted to the sky where the monstrous eagles circled above his masts, the tips of their wings dipping in and out of the mist like the fins on a shark.
âLet. It. Burn!â
The night sky blazed to life as the wings of the eagles burst into flames as gold as the autumn sunset. Speckles of blinding white glittered throughout the metallic flames; the frayed, toiling edges tore to reveal the ebony sky behind them, only to sew themselves together once more a heartbeat later; spears of crimson bled out against the golden field, staining everything it touched in shades of blood-spattered pink and burnt orange as they shot through the fire. The fire did not burn Euronâs ship so much as it consumed it. Like a pack of wild dogs rabidly tears apart and scarfs down its prey, the flames stripped the sails, broke open the masts, splintering them in all directions, and tore the planks apart board by board until there was nothing but embers and ash laying on the black water. She had never witnessed wildfire with her own eyes, but she imagined it looked just as unnatural as this. With a final roar and a sky shaking boom, the Silence died. What little remained sank down to the depths below, and for a time even the water glowed, as the sheer savage fury of the witches kept the flames alive even against the laws of the ocean itself.
The Black Wind glided effortlessly over where her uncleâs ship had been, and she tasted blood in her mouth.
Drawn by the violent display she saw men appear on the deck of the witches' ship only just out of her reach. Euron's men drew bows and took aiming, first at her ship, and then, upon seeing the flaming beasts in the sky, up to the air. Once more the eagles were descending, their beating wings dancing with fire. They were met the hail storm of arrows as they dove and three of them dropped with pained screeches into the sea below. Another spiraled and rolled along the deck of the ship, met with a spear before it could try and get to its feet. But those that remained swooped down on Euron's men. They took grown men in their grasp, setting their talons straight into their chests effortlessly.
Her axe was wetted as soon as her feet hit the deck. Another wave of men emerged onto the lower deck and made their charge. Her arm swung, digging her blade into a short manâs shoulder. He gasped and drew back to strike her, but she slipped out of the way and brought her axe down on the back of his neck as he stumbled. A sharp pain erupted at the base of her spine, and she heard her back pop. She hit the railing of the deck and turned to face her assailant, gasping for the air that had been ripped from her. A sword shot out from his chest and the man choked and spasmed; blood sputtered out of his lips, hot and wet, and splattered along her cheek. The sword withdrew as the man fell, and Qarl smiled sadistically as the blood only smeared on her pale flesh when she went to wipe it away.
âDuck you bumbling fool!â She demanded, her hand not hesitating as she hurled a throwing axe toward Qarl. He was quick enough to step out of the way, but so was the man behind him. Her axe was blown aside by his shield, but the momentâs distraction was enough that Qarl could land a blow to his exposed leg. The man had no sooner hit the deck than her boot crashed against his face with a satisfying crack. Around her the flood of men pouring onto the ship were swiftly driving back Euronâs small force. But she knew he wasnât fool enough to waste all of his resources here on the lower deck. This was merely a distraction while he readied himself.
âWhere are the witches?â She had to holler over the chaos around her. Now Victarionâs ship was docking, and the bloodthirsty shouts of battle hungry men drowned out the sounds of everything else. Asha kicked the man again, accidentally catching him at the base of his throat. He gagged and coughed, slobbering piteously on the sea-soaked wood, and her patience dissolved before he could recover. She wrenched the axe from his shaking hand and hefted it down into the back of his skull.
âWhere are my witches?!â She roared above the crowd. Those who had captives still yet breathing momentarily paused in their assault to parrot her question, but it was one of the eagles that answered.
âThe wizard and the Crowâs Eye are on the main deck.â The words echoed not in the air, but in her thoughts. âBut there are no witches. None alive at least.â
Asha shot a look to Qarl, but as far as she could tell by the wary expressions on the faces of every man on the boat, no one else had heard. She looked to the eagles as they circled in the sky above.
Was this some sort of grand farce? Was Euron baiting her? Now instead of blood it was bile on her tongue. Where was her wife? Why couldnât one damn person tell her where her fucking wife was? She looked up at the shipâs sails again, thinking perhaps sheâd seen wrong; perhaps this wasnât the Fox Clanâs ship. But in the dim light of the mist and the moon, she could see the silhouette of the fox straining against the wind.
âRagna and I take will take a force below deck!â The Seal King panted. For the first time he was devoid of his atrocious coat. He pointed with the spear in his hand to the shrouded doorway. âThe lower decks are the hardest to breech. Those that could hide would have done it there.â
The Badger was practically unrecognizable under her sheen of shattered glass and blood that seemed to pulse and fog along her once-pale skin. Her black eyes gleamed malevolently as she shot a glance in her direction, and then she followed the Seal.
âTell your eagles to hold back and stay out of range for now.â She said to the Fox. âWeâll need them to drive Euronâs men back from the entrance to the main deck.â
The witch nodded, and after a flurry of heated words, Asha reluctantly agreed to follow behind on their way to the main deck. This was her fight, she was the one who had everything at stake, and she more than anyone needed to see if her wife was among the corpses littering the shipâs floor, but even she conceded that the greatest risk fell on those who stepped over the threshold first. But she did not want for brave men ready to meet the Drowned God, either.
The halls inside the ship were so dark that if sheâd have let go of the wall sheâd have wandered off into the shadows and lost herself in a second. Not even the lone torch that one of her men carried could cast light enough to fill more than a small halo around him. Without her sight, she could only feel; she could only hear and smell. And she did her best not to focus on the smell, as that the stench of blood was so thick in the room that it clogged her nose with each breath. The waves were quiet this far below the surface, but the walls creaked and groaned steadily as the ocean pressed in against them. Apart from that, all she could hear were the careful footsteps and choppy breaths of her men, occasionally interrupted by the head of the line stumbling, swearing, and then calling out for the rest of them to step over the body in the way. Each corpse she crossed she stared at twice as long as she needed to, never stopping, but always needing to be absolutely sure that the lifeless face was not that of her wife. It didnât do her any good in the dark, and as the minutes dragged on her dread and her anger only grew. Â
What few men Ragna and the Seal King had not disposed of were quickly felled by her front lines. They lost one by the time they reached the narrow staircase leading to the main deck, and that was she best she could have hoped for.
âHeâs waiting for us.â Victarion said over his hulking shoulder. Even he preceded her, much to her annoyance, but he did stand a better chance against the initial assault in all his armor. He took up so much space his shoulders nearly scraped the sides of the hall as he walked, and in his ironclad boots his footsteps were about as subtle as a newly shod yearling on cobblestones. He was exhausting even when he was being helpful. Theyâd come to an agreement, yes, but she still couldnât help but wish he wouldnât make it back to the mainland. Itâd save her a lot of headaches in the long run---and theyâd never had much love for each other.
âHeâs got the advantage. Heâll wait forever if we let him.â She said; her hand came to rest on the hook of her axe.
She felt a soft, slender figure slip past her and threw a questioning look over her shoulder to see Harper squeezing into the space in front of her as best she could.
âWeâre going to ram the boat.â She whispered. Bracing herself against the wall in between Asha and her uncle. The proximity to the Fox was making Asha uncomfortable. So close to the battle Asha would have thought sheâd seen fear or rage reflected in her eyes or at least a thread of tension in her voice, but her gaze was still cold and calculating, and when she spoke the words were steady. Asha didnât feel right looking at something so pragmatic and emotionless, especially not when her rage and her worry were at war within her own chest.
Harper briefly glanced over her shoulder, then turned back to the queen once more. âWith any luck itâll knock some of his men off balance. Give the eagles a chance to come down without any arrows flying. The second you see the flames, charge. With any luck weâll catch the bastards with their breeches âround their knees.â
She was unaccustomed to this much---planning in an open water battle, otherwise she might have objected to everyone else doing the planning for her. That was magic, she supposed. Even when there were no options in sight, it gave you some.
No sooner had she braced against the wall then she felt the ship pitch backward with such a force that even those who had prepared themselves could be heard stumbling behind her. Whatever had hit the boat, if itâd been anything at all, surely hadnât been another ship. Itâd come from beneath the vessel. Visions from her dreams flew through her head, flashes of great leviathans and krakens the size of a longship, but she did not have time to dwell on them. Ahead she heard the commotion of Euronâs men shouting in alarm, and then the piercing scream of eagles beneath the roar of a fire as light flooded the top of the staircase.
Asha took three breaths, trying to memorize and anticipate the residual rocking of the ship beneath her feet, and then she charge forward with the rest of them, up into the blinding white light of the deck, her axe clutched firmly in hand.
At first she could see only shadows, blurry and distorted amid the intense flames of the fire. Great, hulking shadows hovering in the air, and the mad, flailing silhouettes of men waving their swords indiscriminately. The fire began to dwindle and fade, unable to catch hold of the deck of the ship. To her left three men leaped onto the back of one of the great beasts, thrusting their swords into its hide and hanging onto them for dear life as the creature flapped and screamed. Ultimately it fell and the light faded even more. One by one the eagles were either forced to flee or were slain, but by the time Euronâs men made a decent recovery, a small force of her own was already charging, with more filing out of the hall at every moment.
âGuard the entrance!â She demanded, looking to Harper, who had somehow managed to split open the throats of three charging men by simply pointing her wand at them, and Victarion who was removing his war axe from the gut of a sputtering corpse. If Euronâs men managed to gain back the entrance to the lower deck, theyâd have no reinforcements and be done for in minutes. Neither of them looked at her, but they stayed near the door as the rest of them made their charge.
An axe flew in her direction, and in one deft motion she took it up in her own hand and hefted it back at the man rushing her. It caught him in the eye and sent him spiralling past her onto the blade of one of her men. Qarl. He was still right at her back. Asha spared him only a glance before pushing further into the fray. She plunged her axe into the next manâs throat, and ripped it out only to swing it into the side of another. His sword hand raised and crashed against her chin, hard. She spat blood, the taste of it filling her mouth with copper and her chest with a boiling rage. A cry of fury was strangled from her chest as she swung her axe down on the back of his neck, almost cutting it clean from his shoulders. More blood sprayed, making her grip on her blade hot and wet, and in spite of herself she smiled.
As she jerked it free she straightened herself and wildly searched the deck for the Crowâs Eye. Her eyes frantically dragged across the blood red sea of people. She saw Victarion crash two menâs head together in a way that might have been comical if the skulls hadnât split and their brains hadnât bubbled out the side like a bit of spilled stew. Her gaze didnât linger. She didnât care. Qarl was splitting open a manâs gut, and still she looked on. A serpent the size of ten men was coiled around Euronâs wizard, forcing its mouth over his shoulders and swallowing him alive. Still she tore her eyes away until she found him, looming above the battle on the upper deck like a coward. He was watching her.
She blindly cut her way through the crowd, unaware if she was killing men or simply taking them to their knees. She couldnât avoid every swing of their axes or thrusts of their swords, but she barely felt the sting of any blade that split her skin. Every prickle of pain only served to strengthen the bitter taste of fury and bloodlust on her tongue.
And then something felt wrong. Her back felt naked---exposed---and as she ripped her eyes away from her uncle, reality came back to her. Qarl. She couldnât see him now. He wasnât at her back, nor her side, nor even fighting on ahead to bait her. Every face she looked on was wrong. Each pair of eyes belonged to someone she cared nothing for.
Her wild eyes landed two figures, one slumped over the other, but shaking with thunderous laughter. Like that same laughter from her dream. Mad and wild, trembling in the air and drowning out all other sound. Like a red hot sword plunged into ice water, she felt her fury immediately harden and turn to piercing fear. She slammed the blade of her axe down between the figureâs shoulders, watching the flesh split and his body jerk. Still he laughed and laughed, and the cold terror felt like mania inside her now. She struck again and again, screaming raggedly to overwhelm the sound of his laughter. Even once he was dead and silent, she hit him three more times before ripping his body away.
Qarl.
She might have wretched. She might have fainted. What miraculous force kept her from doing either she didnât know, but she could not stop herself from falling to her knees.
He stared back at her with wide, glassy eyes. Neither alive nor dead, caught in the agonizing limbo between the two. His hands were clutching his side uselessly. From the gaping wound she could see his entrails snaking out onto the deck of the ship. He began to cough, blood bubbling up from his lips, and she caught his head in her hands as her axe clattered to the deck.
âQarl!â Her voice was far from gentle, far from loving, and she couldnât force any softness upon it. Even in her grief there were only sharp edges and hard demands to offer this man that she loved⌠but he looked at her. By some merciful twist of fate, her words brought him back to her. Those dark eyes met hers. His mouth gaped open and then closed, and she could not tell if he meant to speak or if he was only desperate for breath. She kept his gaze, feeling tears welling in her own eyes, feeling a thousand apologies and confessions gather on the tip of her tongue, but she couldnât speak. She couldnât afford to cry for him now. A trembling hand pressed against the nape of her neck, and he weakly pulled her forward. She met his lips in a desperate kiss, as if she might give him some of her own life, and she held him to her until the hand in her hair went limp and fell away. Against her lips she felt him smile, and she pulled away long enough to watch the last glint of life fade from his eyes.
Dead. He was dead. She had loved no one else. She had trusted no one else. Not as a woman, at least. She had loved her mother as a ghost, she had loved her lord father as wish, and she had loved her brothers as corpses, but Qarl she had loved as the man he was. He had been real and tangible⌠and Euron had taken him from her.

HEECHUL WROTE FANFIC OMG WHAT WHERE WHEN WHY
oh my god yes he did, it took a while to dig them all up and i had to translate a few myself but here they are. thereâs three real ones and one thatâs like idk maybe. the three i definitely can confirm are relatively recent and all from his instagram:
1. heechul x female reader: from his 140925 instagram post (deleted when he changed his url), just thrown in the middle of some other rambling
This is a photo where one side of my suspenders came loose.. He turned down the lights of the room and approached the girl who is lying down with the moonlight in her eyes, and started to loosen one side of his suspenders. Slowly.. Really slowly.. He is walking slowly. One step.. Two steps..[and then he starts talking about yesung lmao] (cr)Â
2. heechul x leeteuk: from his 140817 instagram post (also deleted, sigh), this is the whole thing:
Teukie and I have completely opposite personalities. Teukie who always keeps things in and me who always yells and lets things out right away. Slightly timid? Teukie and slightly shitty? me. Teukie who decorated his room in white and me who decorated my room in red. Teukie who says letâs look back on yesterday, me who says letâs think about tomorrowâs business.. Then a few years ago, some things happened that made me think âAh, I should always be on Teukieâs side,â and even though I wouldnât obey the company or the managers, whenever Teukie would ask for something, even if I didnât understand, I wouldnât ask the reason and just follow Teukieâs opinion. In this way the relationship between the two of us deepened and our eyes were drawn to each other. Then finally Heechul, panting roughly, started to stroke Teukieâs face.....?! ă

#fanfic #83 #inspiration/oldmen [itâs the same word idk] (my trans)
3. heechul x min kyunghoon: from his 160429 instagram post (once again, deleted...stop changing ur url kid). this was from when they were filming knowing brother with ioi so itâs gender swapped ssamja x heemi:
Heemi knew she was pretty and always arrogantly did as she pleased, but to her childhood friend Ssamja, she was always an aegyo young kid. The brave and kind Ssamja never saw this [arrogant] Heemi as anything but cute đđ#fanfic (my trans, somewhat rough)
4. eunsihae: this one is apocryphal but i personally choose to believe it really is heechulâs just for the lols. it supposedly comes from his cyworld which would date it between 2005-2009 sometime. the format is certainly like his cyworld posts with a lot of line breaks:
DongHae and Eunhyuk were loversThey loved each other so much, everyone was jealous.But one day,Donghae told Eunhyuk-ee, letâs break up.But Eunhyuk-ee loved Donghae so muchSo he wasnât able to say a wordWasnât able to say âDonât go.âDonghae just turned around and was leavingAnd Eunhyuk wasnât able to say anything.Eunhyuk just followed Donghae, no plans of what to do.And saw Donghae meet up with Siwon-ee.Eunhyuk-ee hid, and watched the twoHe was shocked but,âI broke up with Eunhyuk-ee. Donât touch him every again, and donât bother him.ââI donât want to. How can I believe you? If you date me, Iâll believe that.ââI only have Eunhyuk-eeâThen, Siwon-ee grabbed some gasolineAnd poured it on Donghaeâs body.Siwon-ee grew angry andSaidâThe only ways I can believe that you broke up with Lee Hyukjae is that you date me, or die by my hands.âDonghae said âI will dieâThen, before Siwon-ee turned on the lighterHe asked Donghae if he has any final wordsDo you know what Donghae said?âEunhyuk-ah, close your eyes.â
Itâs said Heenim just copied something thatâs online, only replaced the names xD(trans found here, idk the source)

shelby speaks. this is my list for the positivity meme! you guys can keep sending them in & i will continue to update this list! a general reminder that i love all of you , so so so much. length varies simply bc i started to get extremely repetitive , but i will , message you guys more if you think! itâs not enough! iâm splitting this into TWO PARTS , because i had a lot of urls sent to me! i will , finish them sometime tonight or tomorrow, 100%.
THIS IS PART ONE OF THIS POSITIVITY MEME.
@totheband
ray , you beautiful godly being. i donât even know where to begin. you and every character that you play are so so so important to me. from thinking you hated me to now, with us having 7 paragraph messages about characters? itâs literally incredible to think of how much you mean to me. it started as a quiet admiration from afar to this, where i literally have 4 different sor related twitters because of you ( not that iâm complaining, i absolutely adore this ). there is absolutely no one else i can see writing dewey finn. absolutely no one else. & i take that very seriously, because iâm always open for interpretations , but yours is so unique and special and captures him in such a way that you ARE him , and thatâs enough for me to never want to write with someone else. && i genuinely mean it. i also never expect to get here , where i ship dewey & amelie in every sense of friendship or love , and how excited i get every time i get to interact with any of your characters.Â
but you , as a person, completely makes this whole thing for me. youâre so sweet , and kind , and just a lovely person that deserves nothing less than incredible things. every single day , you make me smile !!!! and thatâs amazing !!!!!! youâre so talented and i am so excited to see where you go in life! iâm so happy youâve continued and pushed for your theatre major and you DESERVE to follow your passion. i love you SO much.
@withasigh
LOTTIE , MY LOVE! you and your characters, all of them , are so incredible. seriously , they are. i love them , so so so so much. wow , i still cannot believe how much you trust me with a character you put so much effort into , it LITERALLY boggles my mind every time i think about it. it means so much to me????? && your wayne, specifically , god. itâs so incredible , i cannot imagine writing with anyone else?????? i just feel that itâs him , and thereâs nothing else to that. youâve helped me so much with developing alice & getting her to a place to where we could plot it out and just .... talk for hours ab bandstand and even though itâs closed now, we have THIS and it means so much to me.
YOU ARE LITERALLY THE BIGGEST SWEETHEART. iâm not even kidding , lottie , i will never forget you giving me this playbill. i remember when you told me and i !!!!! was SO excited !!!!! and then , i just came home from school and it was THERE and i started sobbing and i didnât stop like , all day. you literally made the best day ever happen for me. you mean the world to me & i can never thank you enough. i love you so much , lottie!!!
@heartreveals / @sacrificeherselfÂ

@easytovanish
i donât even , know where to begin , alix. i really donât? ig the beginning im just. when i started the blog, two days in, i resigned myself to realizing i would never get anyone else on the amelie bandwagon with me. i knew the show wasnât extremely popular, but i loved it and that was enough. BUT YOU CAME ALONG AND JUST , MADE THIS ENTIRE EXPERIENCE SO MUCH MORE. i just , saw that post ab amelie and i went all eyes emoji. and within 5 minutes , you told me you have nino muse and i , was SO excited but SO NERVOUS that i was pressuring you , because thatâs not what i was trying to do!!!!! at all!!!! && i made your screencaps and g o d , just. we started to talk about nino and amelie and we just , had the same ideas && delved so much deeper into these two characters that we love so much and i just ????? go d, i LOVE YOU.
nino aside , all of your characters have been so thoroughly thought out. iâve said this so many times , but your character development is fucking ... incredible. i read every word of your rent timeline anD JUST. YOU PUT SO MUCH THOUGHT !!!!! INTO EVERYTHING !!!!! it shows you how much you love and care for these characters and you know they deserve the best and it just , is so amazing to see happen !!!! and i LOVE hearing about them , so so so much. iâve heard a little bit about most of your muses, but obviously iâve heard the most about nino and i just .... love how much you put into him. you put so much into EVERY character and theyâre all a part of you and i love it so so much.
but alix , my soulmate, the adam to my jared , i love you so so so so much. i canât believe we have only known each other a couple of months but you mean the world to me. i cannot imagine anyone else being the nino to my amelie. i just canât. we have such a strong connection and a deep understanding of these characters that i know i wonât be able to get with anyone else???? and no matter what, always know that you mean so much to me. i love you s o much.
