Alan Wake 2: Lyric attribution and breakdown of the song "evermore" (by Taylor Swift, ft. Bon Iver) and how it pertains to Alan and Alice's marriage

I was just listening to this song after I finished watching a playthrough of Alan Wake 2 and almost every line was like a gut punch when considering their circumstances. It just perfectly encapsulates their relationship and the feelings of grief and hope they both have of getting back to each other somehow. Ugh, just beautiful. I think someone needs to make an edit of Alan Wake 2 using this song (I would but I have no idea how).

Anyway, I'll put the lyrics and my breakdown under the cut so you can think of Alan and Alice and see what I mean (spoilers ahead so be warned):

Gray November I've been down since July Motion capture Put me in a bad light I replay my footsteps on each stepping stone Trying to find the one where I went wrong Writing letters Addressed to the fire

I mean, if this verse doesn't just scream Alan going through the loop (spiral) in the Dark Place, I don't know what does. Even the part where he gets blinded by the flash of Alice's camera in Parliament Tower makes sense here with the third and fourth lines. And even the last two lines make sense with him writing and destroying and rewriting his works to find an out.

And I was catching my breath Staring out an open window Catching my death And I couldn't be sure I had a feeling so peculiar That this pain would be for Evermore

This part reminds me of that one video of Alice where she describes seeing a little girl losing her balloon out of her window and how that little girl was crying like she lost her whole world and Alice felt like she had too.

Hey December Guess I'm feeling unmoored Can't remember What I used to fight for I rewind the tape but all it does is pause On the very moment all was lost Sending signals To be double crossed

Alan again. The first part is more obvious, as he completely lost his way in the Dark Place and planned to stop writing altogether and just gave up. The second half works with all those videos you find on the scattered TVs in the Dark Place where he sees himself having a mental breakdown in the writer's room.

And I was catching my breath Barefoot in the wildest winter Catching my death And I couldn't be sure I had a feeling so peculiar That this pain would be for Evermore (Evermore)

No specific scene, but definitely reminds me of Alan having to suffer through the dangers of the Dark Place.

Can't not think of all the cost And the things that will be lost Oh, can we just get a pause? To be certain we'll be tall again Whether weather be the frost Or the violence of the dog days I'm on waves, out being tossed Is there a line that I could just go cross?

Alan again, lost on the lake that isn't a lake, but an ocean, trying so hard to find his way to shore. The last line can be a double meaning; Alan must write the perfect line to create a happy ending, or find the right line to cross to remember what needs to be written in order to escape.

And when I was shipwrecked (can't think of all the cost) I thought of you (all the things that will be lost now) In the cracks of light (can we just get a pause?) I dreamed of you (to be certain we'll be tall again) (If you think of all the costs) It was real enough (whether weather be the frost) To get me through (or the violence of the dog days) (Out on waves being tossed) But I swear (is there a line that we could just go cross?) You were there

I think this section of the bridge can be from both Alice and Alan's perspectives. Alice is figuratively shipwrecked due to her grief, Alan a bit more literally considering he's technically at the bottom of a lake. Alan is seeing glimpses of Alice in the Dark Place, and is using his desire to protect her and get back to her to push him into trying to escape again. Alice is using her art to reach through the void to lead Alan in the right direction.

(Edit: Alice also jumping into the Dark Place to help Alan also fits this part of the song.)

And I was catching my breath Floors of a cabin creaking under my step And I couldn't be sure I had a feeling so peculiar This pain wouldn't be for Evermore Evermore (evermore) Evermore This pain wouldn't be for evermore (evermore) Evermore

The first part of the last chorus is definitely Alan stuck in the writer's room, specifically after he was "killed" by the bullet of light and brought back to life. The second part is both of them, their hope making them realize that it will all be okay in the end. This loss is impermanent. The pain won't last. They will see each other again.

Anyway, this was just my silly thoughts about my current favorite video game. Their relationship is so tragically beautiful to me. Hope you enjoyed me overthinking about a song lol.

look who's on top of her shit! me! anywaysss lmk what you think, as always! <3

hueningkai as welcome to new york

"the lights are so bright but they never blind me"

this song is optimistic & bright & so is hueningkai imo!!

the energy he brings is just so 🤩 (esp in blue hour) & I can see him being the guy to romanticize a new city

also, I love this song & disagree with the haters 🤌

beomgyu as all you had to do is stay

"had me in the palm of your hand, then why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?"

this is wild card that's based mostly on the production rather than the lyrics

this song makes me think of loserxlover or 0x1=lovesong era beomgyu though. no justification just vibes.

yeonjun as wildest dreams

"he's so tall & handsome as hell, he's so bad but he does it so well"

mmmmmm is it mostly for being hot? maybe. but also...try telling me it doesn't match him

it's just such a powerful song production-wise as well & I think it matches him!!

I can just imagine yeonjun being the type that you date knowing he'll leave you in the end or that it won't work out (plz star in a movie with me yeonjun)

I debated giving him style & giving sunghoon wildest dreams instead but I think this works better in my head...lmk what you think!

taehyun as I know places

"let them say what they want, we won't hear it"

I gave taehyun delicate before and I think I have the same reason for choosing I know places.

"he’ll put effort into his image, but when it comes to his family, friends, & relationships—yeah that’s none of ur business 😤😤" it still applies!

it's more urgent than delicate though, which somehow fits taehyun even better in my head.

soobin as clean

"rain came pouring down when I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe"

once, I wrote a fic about soobin inspired by butterflies by kacey musgraves (that will never see the light of day again) & I chose it for a similar reason���soobin would be great boyfriend.

clean is about finally getting over a toxic situation (specifically a relationship) & soobin, imo, would feel like this song does. a relief.

Chasing Cars

Written By: Jonny Quinn, Paul Wilson, Tom Simpson, Nathan Connolly & Gary Lightbody

Artist: Snow Patrol

Released: 2006

Cover included: The Wind and the Wave, 2015

This slow-building ballad is Snow Patrol’s biggest-selling single. A main driving force behind the song’s success was its inclusion at the end of the Grey’s Anatomy Season 2 finale. In an interview with Take 5 Gary Lightbody says: “The track wasn’t even featured on the iTunes top 100, and then an hour after the show, it was number 1. So that’s the impact of TV right there." About the song, he said in a interview with Rolling Stone: “It’s the purest love song that I’ve ever written. There’s no knife-in-the-back twist. When I read these lyrics back, I was like, ‘Oh, that’s weird.’ All the other love songs I’ve written have a dark edge."

[Verse 1] We'll do it all Everything On our own We don't need Anything or anyone [Chorus] If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? [Verse 2] I don't quite know How to say How I feel Those three words Are said too much They're not enough [Chorus] If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's burstin' into life [Verse 3] Let's waste time Chasing cars Around our heads I need your grace To remind me To find my own [Chorus] If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's burstin' into life [Bridge] All that I am All that I ever was Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see I don't know where Confused about how, as well Just know that these things will never change for us at all [Chorus] If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Wildest Dreams

Written By: Shellback, Max Martin & Taylor Swift

Artist: Taylor Swift

Released: 2014 (re-recorded 2021)

Alternate versions included: Grammy Museum, 2015; 1989 World Tour, 2015

The ninth track and fifth single on 1989 is about Swift hoping her lover will remember their best moments after they’re over. It expresses mixed feelings: hoping that they last, but knowing that they’ll end. In the US, the song reached number five, becoming her fifth consecutive top ten from 1989. Swift spoke to Rolling Stone about how this song differs from her previous love songs: “I think the way I used to approach relationships was very idealistic. I used to go into them thinking, ‘Maybe this is the one – we’ll get married and have a family, this could be forever’. Whereas now I go in thinking, ‘How long do we have on the clock – before something comes along and puts a wrench in it, or your publicist calls and says this isn’t a good idea?” Swift suddenly released the re-recording of 2014’s “Wildest Dreams” after the original version became part of a viral TikTok trend in the summer of 2021. Swift explained on Twitter following the release: “Hi! Saw you guys got Wildest Dreams trending on Tiktok, thought you should have my version”

[Verse 1] He said, "Let's get out of this town Drive out of the city, away from the crowds" I thought, "Heaven can't help me now" Nothing lasts forever But this is gonna take me down [Pre-Chorus] He's so tall and handsome as hell He's so bad, but he does it so well I can see the end as it begins My one condition is [Chorus] Say you'll remember me Standin' in a nice dress Starin' at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your Wildest dreams, ah, ha Wildest dreams, ah, ha [Verse 2] I said, "No one has to know what wе do" His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room And his voicе is a familiar sound Nothin' lasts forever But this is gettin' good now [Pre-Chorus] He's so tall and handsome as hell He's so bad, but he does it so well And when we've had our very last kiss My last request it is [Chorus] Say you'll remember me Standin' in a nice dress Starin' at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your Wildest dreams, ah, ha (Ha, ha) Wildest dreams, ah, ha [Bridge] You'll see me in hindsight Tangled up with you all night Burnin' it down Someday, when you leave me I bet these memories Follow you around You'll see me in hindsight Tangled up with you all night Burnin' (Burnin') it (It) down (Down) Someday, when you leave me I bet these memories Follow (Follow) you (You) around (Around) (Follow you around) [Chorus] Say you'll remember me Standing in a nice dress Starin' at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just pretend Say you'll remember me Standin' in a nice dress Starin' at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your (Just pretend, just pretend) Wildest dreams, ah, ha (Ah-ah) In your wildest dreams, ah, ha Even if it's just in your In your wildest dreams, ah, ha In your wildest dreams, ah, ha

1989 (Taylor's Version) - Favorite Lyrics from Each Song

Welcome to New York: Took our broken hearts, put them in a drawer Everybody here was someone else before

Blank Space: Boys only want love if it's torture Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya

Style: 'Cause you got that James Dean daydream look in your eye And I got that red lip classic thing that you like

Out of the Woods: I walked out, I said, "I'm setting you free" But the monsters turned out to be just trees When the sun came up, you were looking at me

All You Had to Do Was Stay: Let me remind you This was what you wanted (You ended it) You were all I wanted (But not like this)

Shake It Off: Heart breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake I shake it off, I shake it off

I Wish You Would: I wish we could go back And remember what we were fighting for

Bad Blood: Still got scars on my back from your knife

Wildest Dreams: He's so tall and handsome as hell He's so bad, but he does it so well

How You Get the Girl: Tell her how you must have lost your mind, ooh When you left her all alone, and never told her why, why

This Love: Lantern, burning Flickered in my mind for only you But you were still gone, gone, gone

I Know Places: Loose lips sink ships all the damn time

Clean: Ten months sober, I must admit Just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it Ten months older, I won't give in Now that I'm clean I'm never gonna risk it

Wonderland: You searched the world for something else To make you feel like what we had And in the end, in Wonderland we both went mad

You Are In Love: And you understand now why They lost their minds and fought the wars And why I've spent my whole life trying to put it into words

New Romantics: The rumors are terrible and cruel But, honey, most of them are true

Slut!: And if I'm gonna be drunk I might as well be drunk in love

Say Don't Go: Why'd you have to lead me on? Why'd you have to twist the knife?

Now That We Don't Talk: I don't have to pretend I like acid rock

Suburban Legends: Flush with the currency of cool I was always turning out my empty pockets

Is It Over Now?: Baby, was it over then? And is it over now?

Song: Suburban Legends Would save: no Best lyrics: "you kiss me in a way that's going to screw up forever"

Song: Is it over now? Would save: yes Best lyrics: "Was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse?" (This was wayyy too sexy for 2014, if the 'his clothes are in my room' was scandolus at the time), "I think about jumping of a very tall something, just to see if you come running", "if she's got blue eyes I will surmise that you'll probably date her...you search in every models bed for something greater"

Song: Bad Blood [ft. Kendrick Lamar] Would save: yes Best lyrics: "All my life I got money and power, and you gotta live with the bad blood now."

Overall thoughts: I used to think that this album had the most amount of liked favorites on it, but the album in general is super flashy but not much substance-- minus wildest dreams. But I do think non-fans would recognize the songs on this album most noticeably 10/22

Wildest Dreams

Summary: Moving from friends to more than friends is a sometimes risky choice; will it work out with Steven Rogers or is the idea of romance with him best left in your “Wildest Dreams”. 

Pairing: Steve Rogers x Female!Reader

Words: 2378

Warnings: Smut

A/N: Have had a long ~dry spell~ due to writer’s block. Spent an hour reading this silly Taylor Swift: Girl Detective story that I got at a local store and then got all up in my feels listening to 1989. Lyrics are italicized, but ignore them if that makes things weird. 

“He said, ‘Let’s get out of this town, drive out of the city, away from the crowds.’” 

“And how do you feel about that?” Nat asked, blowing and subsequently popping a large bubble gum bubble as you packed. 

“I said yes, but I’m anxious about it. I thought we were casual, but this feels like he’s trying to elevate this...whatever it is...to the next level. Heaven can’t help me now, I’m either in or I’m not.” 

“I mean, nothing lasts forever, might as well live while one of you is young,” Natasha winked at you. 

“But this is gonna take me down a road that I don’t know that we’re ready for….” 

Nat cleared her throat, “He’s so tall and handsome as hell,” she mocked your voice, “It’s not like he’s this oh so bad boy or something to be worried about.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah...but everything he does he does it so well. I’m worried I can see the end as it begins….”

“Ready to go?” Steve Rogers asked, lightly knocking on the door as he peered in at you.

You felt the burn of embarrassment heating your cheeks and quickly zipped up your suitcase.

“Yep!” you called, gauging his face to see if he’d overheard.

“Have fun you two,” Nat blew and popped another bubble as she skipped out of your room with a wink back at you. 

You anxiously readjusted your dress as you stood up from your suitcase, “I think I’m ready.” 

He held the door open for you and took your suitcase as you walked through. He took you by the hand and you felt a shiver run through your spine. Looking up at him you saw the goofiest grin; you’d never seen him look so happy. Your stomach twinged into a knot and you weren’t sure if it was the stress of hoping to never ruin his happiness or the excitement that you were and could maybe always be that happiness.

He loaded your bag into the car and opened your door for you. 

“Always the gentleman,” you slightly curtseyed to him. 

“Of course, mademoiselle,” he bowed back before going to the driver’s side and getting in the car. 

“I didn’t know you spoke French.”

“Of course, live long enough and you learn a little bit of everything.”

“So what else have you learned? How to pickle veggies and herd sheep?”

“Pickling no, but I learned a bit about herding from a friend who spent some time in Wakanda,” he winked at you.

The drive continued on this way, with you each poking fun at and learning little quirky things about each other. The car began to slow and you looked out the window to see you were arriving at your destination.

“A vineyard?” you watched as rows of vines moved past you, “It’s really beautiful, Steve.” 

“I thought it’d be nice,” you could hear a slight sheepishness in his voice now.

“It is!” you reached out and patted his hand to reassure him, but found that your heart began racing at the contact. 

Steve parked the car and you followed him inside. He checked you both in and the attendant presented you with wine glasses, a map, and a room key. 

“You can fill your glasses here,” the attendant circled an area on the map, “and then feel free to tour the vineyard as you like. It closes at dark, so please make sure not to be out past then.” 

You both nodded and took your glasses. Steve took the map and slid the key into his pocket. You nervously got your glasses filled where the map had directed and went out into the vineyards to wander. The casual conversation began to flow more easily between you as you felt the wine loosening you up. You wandered between the vines and found yourselves at an area with a little metal bench perched on a hill, overlooking the vineyard. Steve gestured for you to sit, and you obliged. The sun was beginning to set and the sky had a beautiful glow. 

You took a deep breath, “Steve, I’m worried that this,” you gestured broadly, “is going to change this,” you pointed back and forth between the two of you.

“And is that a bad thing?” he asked, taking your hand in his and giving it a gentle squeeze. 

You gazed up into his piercing blue eyes, “I...I just...look...my one condition to this is...say you’ll remember me, standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset.”

“Babe, that’ll be pretty easy to do after this,” he raised his glass to yours.

You rolled your eyes at him as you clinked your glass against his. You took a long gulp as he took a light sip. 

“You’re beautiful,” he looked you up and down, “With your red lips and rosy cheeks,” he gently traced your lips with his thumb.  

You sighed deeply, “Steve, I’m serious. I’m worried that...if this doesn’t work out...for whatever reason, just say you’ll see me again...even if it’s just in your wildest dreams?”

“You’re dramatic, you know that?” 

“I am not! I just wanted to make sure that all of this was said first.” 

“Look, if it makes you feel better, no one has to know what we do. We can just keep this between us for now?”

“Easier said than done,” you murmured, thinking about how you’d already told Nat which meant she had told Clint and Wanda and probably Banner...which meant that at least 30 other people knew and the odds of at least one of them being someone random like the barista at the coffee shop around the corner were pretty high knowing how big of gossips they all were.

“Hmm?” he hummed in your ear.

“Nothing, just kiss me?” you pleaded to him.

He growled in agreement and moved his hand around the back of your neck, leading your lips to his. 

“What was that key for?” you asked in a way that you thought was sultry. 

“Oh, I figured we could do the tastings tomorrow and so I got us a room. It has two beds in case….” “Take me to the room?” It came out a question, but by the darkening of his eyes you knew he had gathered that it was more of a command. 

He took your hand and helped you up. Interlocking his fingers between yours, he led you back to where you had gotten the key. He squeezed your hand as you wandered the halls and found your room. He opened the door and held it for you to duck under his arm and turn on the lights. 

“Cute,” you remarked at the room with its two beds and a small bucket with a chilled bottle of wine on the table between them. 

“Nah, you’re the cute one,” he replied, pulling you tightly against him. 

You giggled and pushed away, grabbing him by the shirt and walking backwards until you were by a bed. You then gently pushed him down onto it. You grabbed the condoms you’d packed in your bag and threw them on the bed next to him. 

“Presumptuous of you,” he said, picking them up. 

“Was it?” 

He motioned for you to come back to him with just one finger. It sent a shiver of anticipation down your spine. 

You walked back to him and slowly undressed him, removing every single piece of clothing from his body before climbing onto his thighs. He tenderly pulled your dress over your head, and you could see the hunger growing in his eyes, darkening them. That look fueled you and you smashed your lips into his. His hands started on your cheeks, then tangled in your hair as they moved their way down your shoulders, stopping briefly to backtrack and stroke your chin before he let them explore down your back. 

“You were just wearing a dress?” he pulled back to eye you up, licking his lips in anticipation. 

Your face began to fill with that familiar tinge of embarrassed heat as you looked down at your naked form straddling his. You smiled innocently, despite knowing exactly what you had been doing when you had made the choice to go without any undergarments while getting dressed that morning. 

“God, you’re so sexy,” his hands traced their way along your spine and back up to your neck. 

He let out a deep growl as he guided your head down to his and kissed you. He took his time at first, each kiss like its own moment that would be forever frozen in time. You started moving your hips slightly on him, riling him up. He let out that low growl again and began kissing you harder, more passionately, as though every fraction of a second that your lips were parted brought a pain that could only be healed by bringing them back together.  

He broke away from you to rip open the condom and slip it on. His hands moved to your hips and he lifted you slightly, sliding his dick into you. You both let out a moan; you stopped grinding on him for a moment, allowing yourself to just feel him filling you completely. You put your hands on his pecs, then slowly started bucking your hips against him. His hands gravitated to your ass and squeezed it in unison with your grinding. 

“My turn,” he whispered into your ear, lifting you up off of him. 

You breathlessly nodded as he propped himself up on his knees, giving you space to lay down. He ran his hands up your legs, spreading your thighs slowly and kissing his way up them. He alternated legs and you felt a quiver run through you as he got closer and closer to your core. You felt the warmth of his breath on you as he paused and looked you in the eyes with a smirk before diving into your heat. He teased your bud with his tongue and you let out a moan as he slipped a finger inside of you. You heard him quietly moan as both his tongue and his finger moved more vigorously, but in a rhythm that had you bucking your hips into him. You began to feel the tingle of an orgasm building in your toes, then moving through your legs, until it finally overwhelmed you to your core, sending you along a crashing wave of pleasure. 

You grabbed his hair and lightly jerked it. He lifted his face and looked at you with a grin. He slowly removed his finger from your soaking pussy and stuck it in his mouth, sucking your wetness off of himself. You inhaled and exhaled deeply, trying to reach the calm after the storm. 

He smirked as he spread your legs wider and then eased himself back into you. After giving you time to readjust around him he pushed himself completely inside of you, then with an almost painful slowness pulled himself back out. You bit your lip in anticipation and moaned as he filled you up again. He continued at this pace for a while, teasing you. When you almost couldn’t bear it any longer he pulled your legs around him and put one arm underneath of you and used the other to prop himself up. You reached up to his face and pulled his lips to yours. 

He kissed you deeply and thrust into you even deeper. The pace started slow, but he gradually sped up and began a rhythm that hit all of the right spots at all of the right moments. You felt every inch of his dick as it went in and out of you. 

He moved his arm from around you and leaned down for a kiss before he really began to thrust into you harder and faster. You felt his dick begin to throb. 

“Cum for me, Steve,” you pleaded

He growled as you locked eyes and he pushed his cock as deep into your pussy as he could over and over again until he let out a growling moan. From the intense throbbing you felt inside of you you knew he had just cum. You sighed as he pulled out of you and visibly shuddered from the pleasure. 

He smiled and bent down to kiss you gently on the forehead before getting up. You lay there, eyes closed, replaying what had just happened, not wanting to forget a moment. 

His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room. 

You tried to slow your breathing and calm down as you heard the sound of a cork popping.

“Here, love.”

Hearing those words in his deep voice sent another tingle through you. You opened your eyes to him offering you a glass of the chilled wine. 

“Cheers to a fantastic getaway,” he offered his glass up to yours. 

You sat up and arranged pillows for the two of you to lean back against. 

“This is a lovely trip,” you smiled as the romantically familiar sound of glasses clinking filled the room and then leaned in and kissed him. 

You sat together and talked and laughed and drank. He called room service for dinner, but you were so absorbed in each other that neither of you touched the food when it arrived. As the hours flew by, you couldn’t stifle the large yawn that escaped your lips. 

“Tired?” he asked. 

“No!” you replied too enthusiastically, “Do you want to watch something?” you knew you were exhausted, but also that you didn’t want to sleep just yet.

“Sure,” he smiled knowingly, “Hm, there’s a new Bond movie on: Nothing lasts forever.”

You laid against him, your bodies entwined. You felt yourself nod off every once in awhile as the movie played, only to be awoken by Steve asking you a question to which you’d “mhm” a response.

“Alright, I’m turning the movie off,” he said after he himself had dozed for longer than he had expected.

“But this is getting good now,” you gestured at the TV, which was showing a commercial for some product you’d never buy.

He laughed, “I’ll see you in my wildest dreams.”

He kissed you on the forehead and clicked off the lights.

Red Dress

One Shot- Bucky Barnes x Reader

A/N- So I listened to Taylor Swift’s ‘Wildest Dreams’ whilst writing this an it gave me the inspiration for the whole concept of the fic, certain lyrics represent a certain memory in the reader and Bucky’s relationship. Sorry if it’s not your music taste but I hope you still read it and like it <3

Summary- The reader recalls her memory’s with Bucky as she struggles to cope with his loss due to the snap heard around the world…

Warnings- fluff, sadness, loss, happy ending tho <3

‘I thought, "Heaven can't help me now"

Nothin' lasts forever

But this is gonna take me down

He's so tall and handsome as hell

He's so bad but he does it so well’

You’d heard of Bucky, Steve shared multiple happy memories of the times he and Bucky spent together. He only ever painted Bucky in a positive light, Steve always described him as funny, a man of honour and his hero. So, seeing Bucky for the first time was strange, he looked so tired, drained of happiness… worn out. Steve had asked you to join his cause, and you agreed with Steve, the Avengers only ever meant to be helpful and you truly believed in the cause.

“Steve” You heard Sam shout out catching your attention, both you and Steve rushed to the next room where Sam had been keeping an eye on Bucky. You stood with your arms folded over your chest and watched on as Bucky began to stir from a deep slumber. Your heart ached as you watched him, you couldn’t explain it in that moment as to why but apart of you wanted to help him, even if you we’re never going to see him after this. His hair that draped an inch from his shoulders hung over his face, covering his drooping eyes that were starting to open. The stubble on his face hugged his perfectly carved jawline. Though dishevelled he was handsome, an instant attraction had your eyes burned onto him, his bad boy image had your stomach twisting as if butterflies were fluttering all over. Your attraction to this man wasn’t going to end well and you knew it. You watched him look around, his eyes settled on you and all you could do was curve the corners of your lips and smile. He grabbed the metal contraption that was crushing his metal arm, keeping him in place. He looked over again recognising Steve.

“Steve?” his voice was groggy and rough, but soft you could hear the fear and pain in his voice.

“Which Bucky am I talking too?” Steve questioned slowly approaching Bucky, Steve had informed you of the situation Bucky had found himself in, the trauma he’d been through. You found yourself watching intently to watch Bucky’s reaction.

“Your mom’s name was Sarah”

You watched as Steve breathed a sigh of relief.

A small smile crept on the face of Bucky as if he started to remember something.

“You used to wear newspapers in your shoes” Steve knew that he was talking to his Bucky. You watched on as Steve explained to Bucky the trouble he’d caused; your heart sank watching Bucky beat himself up over it.

“It’s nothing we can’t fix together” Your voice was quiet out of kindness as you tried to lift Bucky’s mood, Steve turned to look at you with a smile as Bucky nodded.

“She’s pretty” Bucky mumbled as he motioned his head to you.

“Definitely our Bucky in there” Steve chuckled as he looked over to you. You tried to hide biting your lip as Steve turned to you replacing it with a quick smile, trying to remain silent.

“It’s one of the nicer views I’ve woken up too recently” Bucky moaned as his head fell backwards trying to regain feeling in his body. Steve released him as you and Steve helped him stand up allowing him to control his balance. He was so tall and heavy from his muscular body. The feeling of his flesh hand holding onto you electrocuted you as you looked up from his hand to him. He’d felt it too, the lingering look he gave your hand that clutched onto him before looking into your eyes was magical. Looking into your sparkling eyes made his eyes glimmer the slightest, his face loosened as you watched him try to understand the feelings that were flowing through his veins.

This was the first of many moments you shared with Bucky and you’d never forget what his first words to you were. “She’s pretty”

‘Say you'll remember me

Standin' in a nice dress

Starin' at the sunset, babe’

Steve had trusted you to look out for Bucky in Wakanda as he underwent special treatment. The time you’d spent together was lovely. Watching Bucky flourish in his new surroundings was something you’d never seen before. How one man, so disturbed had grown into a man who could now enjoy a simple, stress free life. He’d confided in you one night, thanking you for showing him the path to happiness in Wakanda and for looking out for him. Never giving up. Once he received his new arm his confidence improved. Time had passed on, you and Bucky were constantly around each other, he wanted you with him, so he knew you were safe, though you were there for Bucky, Bucky felt things he hadn’t felt in the longest time. The thought of loosing the one person who believed in him was devastating…

“What are these?” you pointed to yellow tulips that were sitting in a vase in the middle of the small table that sat in the kitchen.

“Flowers you dummy” Bucky replied as he came up behind you, the hairs on your skin dances as his hands fell on your shoulders with gentle squeezes almost massaging. You loved how traditional Bucky still was, though times had changed, and he’d been through hell and back he always found a way to be a gentleman.

“Why did you get flowers?”  You turned to face Bucky who was wearing a nice shirt and shorts with a grin on his face. Though your eyebrows were furrowed that quickly changed once the palm of his hand rested on your right cheek.

Bucky had fallen for you the moment he’d seen you, the moment your words left your mouth was the uplift he needed. You were the reason he knew he needed to get better. You were going to be one to bring him back to life and give him a heart filled with love and affection. The moment he felt your hand in his… he knew. He knew that everything he was going to go through was for you.

Your cheek melted into the palm of his hand as you let your head rest. You wet your lips biting them in the process trying to hold back a smile. Though you and Bucky had never really spoken about the relationship you two had grown, you were always falling asleep in each other’s arms, always laughing together. Giving each other tiny bouts of affection…a kiss on the cheek, a kiss on the top of your hand, a kiss on the forehead before you both lingered touching foreheads enjoying the intimacy.

“Put on a nice dress.”

“Huh?”

“You have an hour to get ready. We need to head out before the sun goes down. No more questions… trust me”

You took your hour to make sure you looked and felt pretty. Your dress was the colour of red roses with tiny white flower patterns, the dress was tight but comfortable as it hugged your curves and the sweetheart neckline lifted your bust, the sleeves hung halfway down your arms as the sleeves rippled. You made your way downstairs to find Bucky holding out his arm for you to hold on to going down the last couple steps of the house you stayed in together. He gently let you go, turning you around and placing his hands over your eyes, you giggled as he did so.

“Bucky? What are you doing?”

“Just walk forward Y/N. I’ll lead you.” You slowly walked forward without your sight everything felt silent just both of your breathing filled the atmosphere. After what seemed ages but was only seconds Bucky spoke.

“I’m going to remove my hands, but keep your eyes closed!”

You squeezed shut your eyes, to stop yourself from peeking, the urge to quickly open them lose them was high. The noise of a door sliding open made you raise your eyebrows. Bucky’s footstep worked their way back to you, the touch of his hands back over your eyes made you jump but smile, you couldn’t hide your excitement. He instructed you to walk again then warned you to take small step down. You felt the cool evening air hit your skin and you could feel the slight breeze of wind dance in your hair. Bucky stopped you and stepped away then slowly allowed you to open your eyes.  Bucky was sat on a plethora of blankets and pillows surrounded by picnic food and prosecco. He was smiling his devilishly handsome smile that killed you inside whenever he did it. You took in the view of Wakanda, realising the sun was going down, he patted the ground motioning for you to sit next to him. You were pleasantly surprised and in awe of how perfect Bucky and the whole set up was. You took a seat next to him as you both looked at each other.

“You like it?”

“Like it Bucky? I love it!” You whispered in wonder. You felt the same feeling in your stomach as you did the first time you met Bucky, those damned butterflies. Bucky pulled you closer by your waist scotting you closer to him, his arm laid across your shoulder.

“You looking amazing Y/N” He didn’t look at you when he said it and he took a huge breath of air before saying it, the hesitation in Bucky’s voice was prominent but you could tell it was his nerves.

“Are you nervous Bucky?” You turned your body slightly to face him with a huge smile, realising how shy Bucky was suddenly being. Bucky scrunched up his face before shaking his head then nodding his head and shaking it again. You laughed at his playful yet honest expression.

“Why are you nervous?”

“A beautiful girl, who’s been there for me since I can really remember, a breath-taking sunset… I’m a little nervous”

“You’re the Winter Soldier Bucky…”

“That maybe so but I’m never going to forget seeing you walk down those stairs in this unbelievably amazing dress! I’ll remember you in this dress for the rest of my life”

“I really look that good huh?” You smirked, bumping your body against his, you watched as Bucky gave you a chefs kiss.

You and Bucky enjoyed the rest of the evening as the dusky sunset turned to night, by the end you were wrapped in blankets, settled in between Bucky’s legs, his arms draped over your shoulder talking about everything and anything.

 ‘His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room

And his voice is a familiar sound

Nothin' lasts forever

But this is gettin' good now’

The door slammed behind you both, though it didn’t distract you. Your mouth clung onto his, every inch of your mouth exploring each other’s. Bucky had you held up against him one arm wrapped around your waist, his hand holding your neck and his other hand tangled in your as you both moaned pulling on it occasionally as he was feeling the pleasure. Each movement of your lips moving in sync feeling deeper and more passionate. Your legs were locked and wrapped around his waist, not wanting to part from his body. His lips left your as he began kissing your neck making you fling your head back enjoying the sweet pleasure of his kisses. The passionate exchange resorted to your bedroom, you stood in front of him as he looked down at you… you were both fully clothed just looking at each other, smiling as you both knew this is what you wanted. he was blown away by your natural beauty and the confidence you exhibited, he leaned down and began to lift your dress, slowly, he was enjoying watching every inch of you be revealed to him, you lifted your hands to allow the dress to come up over your head. Bucky let the dress slip from his hands before undoing the clasp of your bra, the sensual touch of his fingertips on your back made you crave him so much, you wiggled out your underwear, the whole time your eyes never left one another. It was your turn, the pads of your fingers made Bucky moan and smirked as you let your fingers trace up the sides of his core as you lifted his vest up and over. You let your hands fall flat on his chest, lapping up his picturesque physique, as you did this he unbuckled, stepping out of his jeans and boxers. The silence that filled the room as you both looked at each other’s body was fulfilling until you both broke it immediately crashing into each other, reigniting your passionate exchange, Bucky laid you down on the bed, his lips trailed from your lips, along your neck, down your stomach and along your thighs. You moaned arching your back at every kiss, your nails digging into the flesh of his back. You begged him to give you everything and he did. That night of passionate, loving and playful sex was stunning. You were laid in his arms, his lips placing kisses on your head, his finger stroking your bare shoulder. Life was good.

It’s a shame it wouldn’t last forever…

  ‘And when we've had our very last kiss

But my last request is

Say you'll remember me’

Being reunited with the team after a while was amazing, seeing everyone faces gave this horrific situation a glimpse of happiness. The team didn’t have time to enjoy a reunion or even begin to understand the fact you and Bucky had become a coupe. You all stood on the earth of Wakanda which was now a battlefield. You were Avenger’s it was your job to protect people, and in order to protect those people it was time to protect Vision from Thanos. You watched as these creatures slowly tried to enter through the barricades Wakanda has put up to protect the place. Bucky’s flesh arm was wrapped around your waist as you stood together, his hand settling on your hips. His metal arm holding his most prized weapon. Your arm rested up his back slowly stroking the hairs on his neck. You both didn’t say anything in this moment, you just held onto each other. It was better left unsaid, anything that would be said would hurt more if something happened to either of you. You listened to the plan and saw the barricades come down slowly. You both turned to each other, as a single tear dribbled down your cheek. His thumb wiped it away as he moved your hair over your shoulder letting his hand settle on your neck. You rolled your lips and closed your eyes not wanting to let go of this moment. He couldn’t help but pull you in for a passionate kiss wanting to feel your body against his, your soft sweet lips, giving him hope and love. Pulling away breathless he mouthed ‘I love you’ before running into battle… your heart stopped momentarily as you too found yourself running into battle amongst everyone else.

During the fight you never realised it would be your last kiss… the last time you’d feel Bucky’s hands roam your body, the last time you’d feel his scratchy beard against your skin, the beard you’d grown to love as it tickled your skin whenever he’d kiss you.

Watching Thanos snap his fingers you felt a freezing breeze sweep over you as you laid on the ground feeling broken. You coughed up blood, the pain of broken bones washing over you.

“Steve. Y/N” Your eyes shifted from Thanos to Bucky who appeared from around the corner, a smile appeared on your lips seeing Bucky still alive though clearly riddled with PTSD and pain, his eyes were cold with fright. The smile faded as you began to watch pieces of Bucky begin to rip away and float to the ground in tiny pieces. Your eyes widened in shock unable to comprehend what you were seeing. Steve picked you up along the way as he ran to Bucky, catching him before falling to his knees, pieces of him were slipping through both of your fingers.

“Your red dress… I remember. I’ll see you again” Bucky’s words faded out as he was no longer there. He was gone. Vanished as if he was never alive in the first place. You screamed out in pain, those butterflies in your stomach had crashed into each other and died.

“Bring him back Steve” You cried to him slapping your hands on his chest. Steve cradled as you both watched people fade away into nothingness.

“Bring him back Steve, right now!” You continued to sob your slaps becoming punches repeatedly.

As your cried in pain all you could think about was the first night Bucky had told you how he truly felt about you, that night you watched the sunset, wrapped up in each other bodies.. the night you wore that nice red dress.

 ‘Say you'll see me again’

5 years had accumulated to his moment… and if it didn’t work, there was no more hope left on this fucking planet you thought. Your thoughts raced about how different your life could have been if Bucky was here, would you be married… would you be a mom? All these options were ripped away from you. You wouldn’t move on, there was no moving on from Bucky. Though Steve encouraged you to do so it was impossible, you reminded Steve that Bucky would never give up on him giving Steve the reality check he needed.

Watching Hulk snap his fingers made your heart stop and your eye become glass like as pools of water covered your eyes. You let those butterflies gradually begin fluttering in the pitch of your stomach. You looked outside the big glass windows to see colour, trees fully grown, flowers in bloom and the sun shining.

Round 2 proved to be even worse, less of you fighting was daunting, beginning to feel impossible. You’d managed to bring yourself to your feet and head to the battlefield to stand in line with Steve. You both exchanged looks, he knew you were shattered into a million pieces and if this didn’t work he knew you were gone. You knew he was broken and had nothing left to give. A cracked voice spoke over the earpieces you guys had put in…

“On your left” your eyes frantically searched the skies, your body twisting left to right to catch a glimpse of him, you knew it was Sam. There was no noise just utter silence amongst the destruction, you and Steve shot each other hopeful looks. Time felt as though it stopped as you saw Sam fly over bringing with him a gust of wind as he settled down next to Steve. You bit your lip as Sam nodded at you, he motioned his head for you to look behind. A lump in your throat formed as you couldn’t hold in your tears anymore… thousands of orange spiralling circles floated round you and Steve. You mouth hung open before your cried silently allowing your lips to turn into the biggest smile you’d exposed in 5 years. Bucky walked out from one of the circles with a grin. You turned back around not able to look at him, you wanted to compose yourself. The touch of his hand resting on your waist sent simultaneous shivers down your spine, you found yourselves in the same position as before. Your sides touching and his hand gripping so tightly on your waist. You finally turned your heads to look at each other, his god damn smile.

“I told you I’d see you again” Bucky squeezed you into his side as he let his head fall on to your neck sighing in relief.

“You did” You laughed through your tears as you lifted his head up from your shoulder letting your foreheads rest together.

“You…that night… your red dress… was all I thought about” You could hear Bucky’s vulnerability through the muffled and breathless tone of voice. You shhh’d him planting the tiniest kiss on his lips, those butterflies in your stomach fluttering in full force.

Crowley's top 13 Taylor Swift traxx

Crowley is a swiftie, I know this because he told me himself. these are his favourite Taylor Swift traxx. this is also kind of a drowley playlist cause if you listen to it in order it takes you through the drowley summer of love and the bitter break up that follows. under the cut I put some lyrics that made me go ''yes that needs to go on the crowley taylor swift playlist'' & the reason why (I put too much work in this help)

1. Ready For It?

Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him

Wondered how many girls he had loved and left haunted

But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom

2. Wildest Dreams

Holdin' him for ransom

the Mark of Cain episode when he's all fascinated watching Dean fight those demons in Cain's house. (this was definitely one of the moments that sparked Crowley's interest in Dean even further imo)

He's so tall and handsome as hell

He's so bad, but he does it so well

I can see the end as it begins

aah yes, the start of the demon!dean & Crowley saga. Dean is tall as shit too so there's that.

3. Cruel Summer

So cut the headlights, summer's a knife

I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone

Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes

And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know

here we have some wonderful Crowley not wanting to see Dean that he's hurt AND an angel rolling his eyes being mentioned (which is literally Cas at the summer of love), truly iconic.

4. You Belong With Me

Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans

I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be

Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself

Hey, isn't this easy?

this song is basically just Crowley thinking that Dean should be with him and not with Cas. Dean's jeans are probably pretty worn-out too, since he wears the same outfits all the damn time (no offense man, I do that too)

5. August

To live for the hope of it all

Cancel plans just in case you'd call

And say, "Meet me behind the mall"

So much for summer love and saying "us"

'Cause you weren't mine to lose

can we talk about how Crowley literally dropped everything the second Dean called him MULTIPLE TIMES and the fact that this almost became his dead when Sam used it to trick him at the end of season 10?. I also made a drowley edit with this song (I'm way too deep in the swiftnatural hole) so I think that says enough.

6. Babe

What a waste

Takin' down the pictures and the plans we made, yeah

And it's strange how your face doesn't look so innocent

Your secret has its consequence and that's on you, babe

Crowley had this whole plan to rule hell with Dean but he had to scrap everything rip

7. Mr. Perfectly Fine

He goes about his day

Forgets he ever even heard my name

Well, I thought you might be different than the rest, I guess you're all the same

the break-up didn't seem to effect Dean at all and Crowley hates this. he also thought he'd found someone who could actually love him, but it turned out Dean wasn't capable of that, just like the rest of the people in Crowley's life. he just wants to be loved :(

8. I Knew You Were Trouble

I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that

And when I fell hard, you took a step back

Without me, without me, without me

And he's long gone when he's next to me

And I realize the blame is on me

'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in

So shame on me now

The first line is Crowley @ Demon Dean not giving a crap about anything, and that second line is quite literally Dean pushing him during their break up. Crowley also kinda knew from the start that it wouldn't work out between him & Dean.

9. We Are Never Getting Back Together

We are never, ever, ever getting back together

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me

But we are never, ever, ever, ever

Getting back together

Crowley telling himself he's really done with having Winchester derangement syndrome now. sorry king I have to dissapoint you: this disease is incurable (ask Cas).

10 Bad Blood

Did you have to do this?

I was thinking that you could be trusted

Did you have to ruin what was shiny?

Now it's all rusted

Crowley actually trusted Dean (which says something, with his never ending trust issues) but of course he had to fuck it up.

11. Better Than Revenge

I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at, honey

You might have him, but haven't you heard?

I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at, honey

You might have him, but I always get the last word

this is Crowley @ Cas (especially since Dean gave the first blade to Cas instead of him). Cas also rolled his eyes at him multiple times so that's canon.

12. Look What You Made Me Do

I don't like your little games

Don't like your tilted stage

The role you made me play

Of the fool, no, I don't like you

I don't like your perfect crime

How you laugh when you lie

You said the gun was mine

Isn't cool, no, I don't like you

But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time

Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time

I've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined

I check it once, then I check it twice, oh!

the only song on the list that isn't drowley related, because honestly this just SCREAMS Crowley when Rowena returned to me. also the ''I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me'' line since Rowena is what sparked Crowley's trust issues in the first place.

13. Speak Now

Don't say yes, run away now

I'll meet you when you're out

Of the church at the back door

Don't wait or say a single vow

You need to hear me out

And they said, "speak now"

I think everyone agrees that Crowley does karaoke at the destiel wedding and sings this song.

[stars-around-my-scars13]

my fav evermore lyrics!

WILLOW

I come back stronger than a 90′s trend

I’m like the water when your ship rolled in that night, rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife

life was a willow and it bent right to you wind

CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS

You booked the night train for a reason

your heart was glass, I dropped it

I dropped your hand while dancing

“This dorm was once a madhouse” / I made a joke, “well, it’s made for me”

one for the money, two for the show, i never was ready so I watch you go

GOLD RUSH

eyes like sinking ships on waters, so inviting, I almost jump in

I don’t like slow motion double vision in a rose blush

I don’t like that falling feels like flying til the bone crush

it fades into the gray of my day old tea, cuz. it could never be

my mind turns your life into folklore, I can’t dare to dream about you anymore

the coastal town we never found will never see a love as pure as it

‘TIS THE DAMN SEASON

the road not taken looks real good now

time flies messy as the mud on your truck tires / now i’m missing your smile, hear me out, we could just drive around

the heart I know I’m breaking is my own

it always leads to you and my hometown

you can run but only so far

I’ll go back to LA and the so-called friends who’ll write books about me if I ever make it and wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles I’m faking

TOLERATE IT

I know my love should be celebrated, but you tolerate it

Where’s that man who’d throw blankets over my barbed wire?

I made you my temple, my mural, my sky, now I’m begging for footnotes in. the story of your life

What would you do if I break free and leave us in ruins, took this dagger in me and removed it?....  believe me I could do it

 NO BODY, NO CRIME

That ain’t my merlot on his mouth, that ain’t my jewelry on our joint account

no body, no crime, but I ain’t letting up until the day I die

Good thing my daddy made. me get a boating license when I was 15, and I’ve cleaned enough houses to know how to cover up a scene

good thing his mistress took out a big life insurance policy... they think she did it but they just can’t proe it

she thinks I did it but she just can’t prove it

no body, no crime, I wasn’t letting up until the day he ...died

HAPPINESS

when did all our lessons start to look like weapons pointed at my deepest hurt?

all the years. i’ve given is just shit we’re dividing up

haunted by the look in my eyes that would’ve loved you for a lifetime

across our great divide, there is a glorious sunrise dappled with the flickers of light from the dress I wore at midnight

I can’t face reinvention, I haven’t met the new me yet -> you haven’t met the new me yet

I can’t see facts through all of my fury

DOROTHEA

do you ever stop and think about me, when we were younger?

you got shiny friends since you left town, a tiny screen’s the only place I see you now

if you’re ever tired of being know for who you know, you know, you’ll always know me

are you still the same soul I met under the bleachers? Well, I guess I’ll never know

When it was calmer, skipping the prom just to piss off your mom & her pageant schemes

the stars in your eyes shined brighter in Tupelo

CONEY ISLAND

do you miss the rogue who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?

Did I close my fist around something delicate, Did I shatter you?

Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest gray, a universe away?

We were like the mall before the internet, we were the one place to be / sorry for not winning you an arcade ring

IVY

I just sit here and wait, grieving for the living

I can’t stop you putting roots in my dreamland

How’s one to know I’d live for moments that we stole on begged and borrowed time?

COWBOY LIKE ME

I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve, takes one to know one, you’re a cowboy like me

eyes full of stars, hustling for the good life

The skeletons in both our closets plotted hard to fuck this up

forever is the sweetest con

LONG STORY SHORT

I tried to pick my battles til the battle picked me

the knife cuts both ways, if the shoe fits, walk in it, til your high heel breaks

I fell from the pedestal, right down the rabbit hole, long story short, it was a bad time

I always felt I looked better in the rearview, missing me at the golden gates they once held the keys to

pushed from the precipice, climbed right back up the cliff, long story short I survived

your nemeses will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing

MARJORIE

never be so kind you forget to be clever, never be so clever you forget to be kind

I should have asked you questions, I should have asked you how to be, asked you to write it down for me

I know better, but you’re still around

what died didn’t stay dead

CLOSURE

Seeing the shape of your name still spells out pain

it cut deep to know ya, right to the bone

don’t treat me like some situation that needs to be handled

guilty, guilty, reaching out across the sea that you put between you and me, but it’s fake and oh so unnecessary

EVERMORE

I was catching my breath, staring out an open window catching my death

I was catching my breath, barefoot in the wildest winter, catching my death

I rewind the tape but all it does is pause on the very moment all was lost

Oh can we just get a pause? / to be certain we’ll be tall again?

The Mix Tape Mishap

6th year, AU; Hermione is home for Christmas holidays and uses [modern] muggle music to cope with the heartbreak she continues to suffer from her falling out with Ron and his current relationship with Lavender. What will happen when the mixed CD she made for herself ends up in Ron's hands on Christmas morning?

This is still set in the normal time period (1996), but I've taken the creative liberty to pretend that the albums I've referenced were also released during that year (adding to the AU label), instead of when they were actually produced (which is anywhere between 10-20 years later).

This is the first chapter. Chapter 2 is up on AO3 and FFN

Hermione was studying in the library a couple nights before the Christmas holidays. She found herself in the library more often than not to avoid the snogfest production given by Ron and Lavender in the common room each night, and the subsequent wrenching of her heart that she still couldn’t seem to shake. She’d tried so hard to forget him, to move on, and to give up on any chance of reconciling their friendship, let alone something more.

Instead of accomplishing any homework, she’d shifted her focus to her Christmas gift checklist. Her mum had written to her this morning to let Hermione know she had gotten the muggle items she’d requested for gifts. Hermione knew Ginny was into wizard rock, and thought she’d like some muggle music, so that was the theme of her gift this year. Hermione’s mum had picked up the newest Fall Out Boy and Panic! At the Disco CDs for Ginny, along with a Sony Walkman player, batteries and headphones for Ginny to experience it with. Of course, Hermione had assumed she’d be at the Burrow for Christmas so she could help Ginny with the muggle technology, but that wouldn’t be happening now that she and Ron weren’t speaking. Ginny did tell her she was still welcome at the Burrow, but Hermione couldn’t stomach the thought of being in the same house as Ron while not speaking to him. Ron had made his decision clear when he’d chosen Lavender over her.

“There you are!” Hermione heard a familiar voice and saw Ginny approaching the table. She quickly hid the list as Ginny sat down. “You can’t honestly tell me you still have work to do? We leave for hols in two days!”

“It doesn’t mean I can’t revise,” said Hermione, unwilling to give away the real reason she was there.

“Have you thought anymore about still coming to the Burrow?” Ginny asked.

“Ginny, you know I wouldn’t be welcome there by Ron. It would be too awkward. I just...not this year, okay?” Hermione said.

Ginny could tell how hurt Hermione was by the whole Lavender fiasco, and knew that she was partly to blame. She hadn’t told Hermione what happened after quidditch practice that night, but was still trying to make up for the guilt she felt at seeing how hurt her best friend was. “Okay, maybe not for Christmas, but why not for New Years? We can hide out in my room if you want and not have to worry about seeing my git of a brother. I’ll even see if Fred and George can smuggle me the good champagne and we can get good and pissed and forget about boys!”

Hermione eyed her and wondered why she was being so pushy on the subject. She wondered if something was wrong with her relationship with Dean. “Maybe that might work,” she indulged her. “Why do you want me to visit so badly anyways?”

“It’s way more fun when you’re around. When it’s just Harry and Ron they shut me out and I’m always so bored! That or mum sticks me with even more chores because I don’t seem ‘busy,’” Ginny air quoted the last word.

Hermione laughed, “Alright, if it means that much to you, I’ll ask when I get home. Just- just don’t tell anyone, except for your mum of course. I wouldn’t want to show up unannounced, but I absolutely do not want the boys to know.”

“My lips are sealed,” Ginny promised, making a mental note not to blow it this time.

* * *

The following Monday found Hermione in her bedroom, reading and relaxing while her parents were at work for the day. Christmas was still two days away, but her shopping was done, and she was putting off the wrapping. Mrs. Granger had surprised Hermione with a new walkman and CDs of her own when she got home on Saturday, so she was spending a lot of her time listening to those instead.

Hermione had forgotten how much she enjoyed listening to music, and the albums her mum had picked up had been perfect for helping her cope with everything she was going through with Ron. She’d received the newest Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran albums (1989 and X), which had been playing on repeat. Always one to pay attention to the words, Hermione had found the lyrics to be overly relatable to her current heartbroken situation.

She wasn’t sure what led her to pull out the pen and paper at her desk, but as she listened through each album she wrote down the title of each song and a few lines that resonated with her. Writing it down and listening to those songs on repeat were bringing her more comfort than she’d felt over the past six weeks.

Attempt #36 to get over him

I’m a Mess “I can’t work it out. How? Goin’ through the motions, goin’ through us I’ve known it for the longest time, and all my hope, All my words are all over..”

Photograph “I keep this love in a photograph We make these memories for ourselves..”

Tenerife Sea “You’ve got the kind of look in your eyes That says nobody knows anything but us…” “All that you are is all that I’ll ever need”

All You Had To Do Was Stay “Had me in the palm of your hand Why’d you have to go and lock me out When I let you in”

I Wish You Would “Wish you knew that I miss you too much to be mad anymore”

Wildest Dreams “Nothing lasts forever But this is gonna take me down “He’s so tall and handsome as hell..”

How you Get the Girl “I want you for worse or for better I would wait forever and ever”

This Love “Your kiss, my cheek, I watched you leave Your smile, my ghost, I fell to my knees”

I know Places “And you know for me, it’s always been you”

There, Hermione thought to herself, that was oddly satisfying. Who knew listening to music and writing the lyrics could make me feel better? Hermione walked over to the new computer her parents had purchased while she was at Hogwarts. She followed the steps her dad had shown her to turn it on and open up the music player. He’d shown Hermione how to upload music and burn a CD with some of the music she thought Harry might like from Ginny’s CDs. Even though she’d already gotten Harry a gift, Hermione wanted to take advantage of sharing the music with him, too. She knew both Harry and Ginny had the same taste in music, and just in case Ginny didn’t want to share her CDs, he could have a mixed version of his own, and Hermione could let him borrow her Walkman.

Hermione set out to upload all four of her new CDs, and made two separate playlists, one labelled ‘Harry - Christmas 1996’ and the other labeled ‘RW Bad Blood.’ She thought that was clever even though she wasn’t even including the song on her mix. She took two blank CDs and figured out how to make the new copies with her playlists. She labelled the blank envelopes, and placed the CDs in the appropriate slots once finished. Hermione also slid the paper she’d written on earlier in the ‘Bad Blood’ envelope. She’d hide it in her desk drawer later.

She walked back to her room and used magic to put the cellophane wrapping back on the CDs for Ginny. Hermione was sure Ginny wouldn’t have minded her opening them to share the music with Harry, but she still wanted them to look new and unopened for her. Thank goodness for being of age, Hermione thought to herself. Hermione went on to wrap Ginny’s present in the magical wrapping paper, including a note saying she’d see her on New Year’s Eve. She also added the request for her to give Harry the envelope with his name on it. As she set the presents with the other magically wrapped presents to be delivered Christmas morning at the Burrow, she heard her parents call to her. Hermione left everything on the pile, including the mix she’d made to help her cope with losing Ron...

Bella I love you sm!!!!! Can you share your secret sessions experience??

enjoy! <3

When I was a young and spry 20 year old, @taylorswift​ stalked this blog for two weeks straight. Leading up to secret session, she liked posts from me every single day around the same time. It was quite literally the most terrifying time of my life. Anyway, one day I was sitting on my couch and I received a DM that changed my entire life. I sprinted downstairs to show my dad, and his response was a very calm and collected, “cool!” I ran into my room and started jumping up and down. The excitement I felt was unmatched. I had three days to mentally, emotionally, and physically prepare for the greatest day of my life. On that faithful Sunday, I made my way to the meeting place. I pulled up to the valet and they asked straight away if I was there for “The Taylor thing.” At this point I had no idea what to expect. I didn’t even want to believe it was actually secret session because I didn’t want to get my hopes up LMAO. Anyway, I checked in and started chatting with a few other girls. This is also when I met one of my best Australian friends aka @in-her-wildest-dreams! I could not BELIEVE that she was there. We were all jittery with excitement when they announced that it was time to start heading over to Taylor’s house. On the bus ride there, they played Taylor’s music so we were all singing along while shitting ourselves. After we arrived at her house, it was announced to us that were at secret session and we all lost our fucking minds. We hung out in her backyard, eating snacks, looking out at the GORGEOUS view from her backyard, and socializing with everyone else. I talked with Tree for awhile, and she was ridiculously nice and welcoming. She asked me where I was from and I said “here” LOL (it was only a half-hour drive from my house). After eating sushi on her jacuzzi ledge, it was time for the ~session~. My friends and I queued up first and we ended up sitting directly in front of her chair. I thought I was actually going to die at this point. I don’t think I let go of my friend’s hand that entire time LOL. Out of nowhere, the whole room erupted in blood-curdling screams. This was the moment. This was it. I turned around, and I spotted my hero in her tall, beautiful, curly-haired glory. Nothing felt real in this moment. I had tears in my eyes and the world moved in slow motion. She had to climb over like 70 people to reach the chair that stood three feet in front of me. This is going to sound weird and creepy, but when she sat down, I could not stop staring at her. She is hands down the most beautiful and electric soul I have ever had the honor of being in the presence of. Her whole aura is warmth. She spoke so eloquently and made everyone feel special for being there. I could have sat there and listened to her talk all day. At this point, I won’t give you any details about what happened during this part because I swore on my life to keep her words and stories private unlike other disloyal, dumbass rep sessioners :) However, I will tell you that Taylor and I danced together, we aggressively sang “gorgeous” to each others’ faces, she sang soooo many lyrics to my face that are branded on my heart forever, she personally asked me to help pass out the rep magazines, she laughed at me at least 5 different times because of my dramatic reactions to her spicy lyrics, and at the end of new year’s day my friends and I bowed at her feet. It was ICONIC. After we heard the album, she left the room and left us to look through the rep magazines. People began lining up to meet her and that’s when I made the conscious decision to stay behind and chill out on her floor with my friend. We couldn’t stop raving about reputation and how perfect it is. We spent at least 2-3 hours sitting on Taylor’s rug and eating snacks until the line died down. Finally, around 12:45am, we got in line. This was the moment I waited for since I was 9 years old. As we stood in line, the girl in front of me kept talking to me, which was annoying because I was trying to draft in my head what I was going to say to Taylor. The funniest moment of the night was when it was the girl in front of me’s turn to meet Taylor and I SHOVED this poor girl into Taylor’s arms. The girl was talking to me while I could see Taylor looking at her so I quickly turned this bitch around and I shoved her into the room. Taylor, TN, and her security all JUMPED LMAO I literally thought they were going to kick me out for doing that but it was chill. The girl behind me was laughing so much because I literally pushed this poor girl into Taylor’s arms kfjgdhsjakl anyway…it was finally my turn and I’ll NEVER forget her face. Her entire being lit up and we went in for a giant hug. It was one of those tight hugs where you sway with the person and hold them for a little too long *maybe I’m tearing up while writing this lmao*. It felt like reuniting with an old friend. I wasn’t nervous at all. I was surprisingly cool, calm, and collected. I told her everything I wanted to tell her and she was as kind and gracious as I could have ever dreamed. She spent the first five minutes of our conversation complimenting ME. She was like “You’re so beautiful! You are SO lovely! You have the most beautiful smile! I love your dress! You are the SWEETEST” and I was just like ??? how the FUCK is this real life rn??? She held my hands the whole time and even complimented my snake ring. She put her hand next to mine and said, “twins!” We were also wearing the same nail polish. I spoke to her about something private and it was just…beautiful? therapeutic? spiritual? it was everything. She could not have been more kind and reassuring. The funniest part of our interaction was when it was time for our picture. She is the one who suggested that we hug in the picture. She said, “you’re so cute and tiny, let’s do a hugging one!” After we got into position, the photographer took the picture and said, “ooop, let’s do another one.” So we took another one. The photographer then said, “Taylor…STOP BLINKING.” Taylor was fucking ADORABLE omg she was like “oh my god, I’m so so sorry!” to me and I was like “GIRL NO WORRIES IT’S FINE” and FINALLY after the third take, we got our picture. I thanked her once again for having me and she hugged me tight and said, “You are the sweetest. Thank you for coming and promise me that you will get home safe?” We exchanged I love you’s and that was that. I was handed a goody bag, ushered back into a van, and was forced to digest what on earth just happened. Her body guard was so kind to me and offered to walk with me back to my car. He asked me if I had a good time and I said “it was the best day of my entire life” and he laughed. I got back to my car at 1:16 am and called my parents to tell them I was on my way home. They said that I was hysterical and completely incoherent, which makes sense. The drive home was a blur and so was the rest of that week. I don’t even remember going to class. All I remember is how loved and special I felt, all thanks to Taylor. After this experience, I feel even more fiercely protective of her than I did before, which I didn’t even think was possible. She’s like a big sister to me. I love her endlessly and I’ll support her until the end of time.

Hi this is my prompt for the KC week mates trope: Caroline doesn’t believe in mates and she is a werewolf princess who must choose an husband so she fakes finding her mates by convincing her friend to pose as one. Enter klaus , the hybrid king of a rival clan, who as soon as he sees Caroline discovers that she is his mate. Klaus will stop at nothing in order to persuade Caroline that he is the one. C. Doesn’t know how to keep up her charade. Thanks

Okay, I’m wayyyyy too late but my computer died and I totally am in love with this prompt, so thank you anon. Although, I have changed it to suit what I can write best. Hope you still like it and get to read this : ) Based off lyrics from Taylor Swift. Also, Happy Thanksgiving to my US friends.

Wildest Dreams

Red Fox Inn - Stratton, VT (Appalachian Mountains) - Thanksgiving Eve 

“Caroline.” Enzo hissed pool cue in hand, his expressive, brown eyes telling her exactly what he was thinking without words.  She was officially ruining his game, not billiards but picking up his latest conquest, and he wasn’t too impressed by her close proximity.

Caroline opened her mouth to argue but realised she had no grounds as they were officially best friends and he had every right to chat up the local, female talent without her interference.

It wasn’t that she liked Enzo in that way, far from it actually. He was pretty much her brother and if he wanted to play the field then she was more than happy not to witness it but something had happened that week to change her mind drastically.

Her father had requested her presence in his expansive study three nights earlier and demanded that she take a husband. As he so eloquently put it he was growing older and Caroline, as a werewolf princess, was destined to rule the pack and she needed to do it with a mate by her side.

According to Bill Forbes it was just that easy.

Step one, find your mate. 

Step two, marry said mate.

For Caroline it wasn’t so easy. She’d found her mate years earlier unbeknownst to her father but given he was from a rival pack it could never eventuate. If Bill knew her chosen suitor all hell would break loose and their pack would suffer immensely.

His crimson lips, blue eyes and dimples were still very much present in every dream. It was like he’d made it that way so she could feel the full weight of the rejection he’d felt before inevitably leaving Vermont in search of something or someone else.

Caroline tried to tell herself that it didn’t matter what or who he did once he left Stratton but the what-ifs haunted her daily. Why did her mate have to turn out to be her biggest enemy? Why couldn’t she be spending those intimate nights tangled up with him between the sheets instead of playing third wheel on one of Enzo’s dates?

“Geez, sorry,” she growled, making her way towards the bar hoping that a straight whiskey or ten would erase her memory.

Unfortunately, not so much. 

“Bartender, can i get a Glenfiddich neat with one ice cube,” she closed her eyes knowing that order all too well. If that wasn’t a dead giveaway the smell of his spicy aftershave was. Although she was still in denial until he uttered that familiar greeting. “Hello, love.”

Now that was the final straw, closing her eyes Caroline was willing him to go away. A slight tug on her swivel stool was enough to open her eyes straight into his. Dark blue with a hint of clouded lust willing her to reciprocate but Caroline had no intention of being drawn into Klaus Mikaelson’s vortex ever again. 

He’s so tall and handsome as hell..He’s so bad but he does it so well

It was all so true and nothing had changed. 

Bastard. 

His dark jeans were hugging his toned legs, and that henley was just as she remembered with the open collar showcasing those necklaces she used to pull on when he was moving inside her.  

“Now, last time I checked you were mean to me, so the least you could do is say hello.” 

“I wasn’t,” she faltered, trying to gain some semblance of composure but it was difficult with her mate standing so close. 

“So, it was daddy that ruined everything? Are we really back to that after all these years?”

“I was realistic about our chances,” she hissed. “But I’ve moved on, so I suppose it doesn’t matter.”

“Oh, with the guy who’s more interested in scoring with that girl than you? I would never do that.” He insisted. Caroline wanted to kill Enzo but it was hardly his fault given he didn’t know just how desperate her situation had become.

“I suppose that’s none of your business,” she replied, not willing to let him wear her down again. “I’m assuming you’re just passing through town, so I’ll leave you to it.” 

“On the contrary, I’m here for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.”

“Last time I checked your pack doesn’t celebrate that,” she offered, mildly hopeful that maybe he’d come back for her. 

“We don’t. But as it turns out your father has personally invited our pack to celebrations, yours truly included.”

“He didn’t? He hates you.”

“Oh yes he did, seems like he’d like to call a truce,” he smiled. Caroline was trying to work out whether to kiss him or wipe the smile off his smug face. It all seemed too good to be true. “I assume you’ll be bringing that?” He asked gesturing to Enzo trying to teach his willing pool partner how to sink a ball. 

“I hate you.”

“It’s beginning to sound a lot like old times.” Before she could respond he’d shot back his whiskey and left, his aftershave hovering in his aftermath.

Thanksgiving Day

Say you’ll remember me standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset,

It was probably childish and a little naive but Caroline had always hoped he’d remember her after their affair ended so sadly. She’d never forget the way his crimson lips curved into a knowing smile as he placed kisses on her temple, telling her nothing was lost and even with the family drama he’d always love her. 

Forever.

Then he’d left and she’d decided he wasn’t worthy of her time. Apparently, it had been for the best but Caroline had never forgotten him, even if he was the enemy.

Fast forward two years and here she was attempting to pretend everything was okay because her father decided to invite him and his rival pack to dinner as some sort of weird peace settlement.  She was too confused to ask about his real intentions. 

So, she’d been delaying her entrance staring out the window as the sunset across the horizon in gorgeous pinks and oranges. 

“This is exactly how I remembered you the past two years, you have no idea how much you’ve tortured me…” His words were the peace she’d been craving and his touch on her skin followed by those softly uttered words was too much. 

“I see you,” she murmured, his fingers now grazing her bare skin. “Not just in my dreams anymore.”

“And?”

“Although my father is probably going to kill you, I love your stupid ass. Are you ready for what might come?”

“For you I’d do anything, love.”

“Famous last words, Mikaelson.” She raised her eyebrows, ready for whatever they had to face because she knew they’d do it together.
