#I'll catch you

[ladynoirfanao3]

When @verabraun-art sent me this song she wrote for my Mariclaw fic Sideways, I was blown away!! It perfectly reflects some of the themes in the story 🥰

Full Song in chapter 9 in the above link, lyrics below!

I Open the Door

[Verse 1]

Each step echoes loud in the halls of regret,

The things I’ve destroyed, I’ll never forget.

A villain, a shadow, I’ve lived by his call,

My hand can only ruin; I’ve shattered it all.

[Pre-Chorus]

"Destruction is in your blood," he declares,

I feel it, I know it—it’s everywhere!

[Chorus]

I open the door, the void pulls me in,

No light to be found, just the dark and my sin.

I fall and I fall, no hands here to save,

A world I destroyed becomes my grave.

[Verse 2]

But then there’s a voice that cuts all my pain.

She feels like a hope I have no right to claim.

Her blue eyes, a light in a world cold and grey.

But what if my darkness drives her away?

[Pre-Chorus]

"Destruction’s in your blood," he repeats.

Is it false? Did he lie? Should I believe?

[Chorus] [build-up]

I open the door, and the darkness has fled,

The world feels alive where I thought it was dead.

I climb and I climb, to a life that feels new,

And there she whispers, "I’ll catch you."

[Outro]

The door swings wide, and life breaks through,

I see your eyes, you say, "I’ll catch you."

I've started part 2 of I'll Catch You! But, like the last part, I keep changing things 😵‍💫. So, have a snippet I may or may not change by the time I finish this:

Hands cupped his face, warm and familiar, with calluses Eddie knew better than his own. He tried to focus on them in the darkness. He didn't know he'd closed his eyes. Another hand smoothed over his hair, delicate and kind, motherly. Like his abuela always comforted him. A voice finally broke through the fog in his mind. “Eddie,” the voice pleaded. “Breathe, baby, you're okay.” Eddie forced his eyes open. He wasn't lying in the desert, or on a sunny street. He wasn't dead. Wide blue eyes caught his gaze. “There you are,” Buck said with a shaky smile. “Keep breathing for me, baby. You're okay.” He exaggerated his breathing, moving his thumb across Eddie's cheek in time with his inhale. The tension on his wrists let go and he collapsed into Buck's arms.

no way you dropped the biggest river lore in the tags and moved on like it was nothing 😭 can i ask if this is still your intentions with him? bc it sounds like you changed your mind halfway 🤔

im ngl though i really enjoy how ren and river are similar and different to each other, but does that mean river would hurt his angel but leave our friends alone the same way ren would never hurt his angel but would unalive all of our friends? since they're suppose to be each other opposites. i really hope this makes sense 😬 my final question is what is ren doing on thursday? i want to go on a cute pier date again 🩷🌸

@secretkoa asked: and can i hear more about what unsent memory is suppose to be about or is that off limits? idk if i asked this in my previous question so ignore me if i did! thank yuo and remember to drink lots of water 🐸🌱

⌞♥⌝ For those who haven't seen the original post, I want to quickly clarify once more that while River was originally my OC, he's since been picked up and revamped by my friend Jesse/@unsentmemory!!

However, now that Jesse has stepped away from the yandere community, River's fate (and da fate of Unsent Memories) has kinda been put on the sidelines for the foreseeable future.

‼️ Massive Unsent Memories and River spoilers under the cut ‼️ CW for: mentions of gore, torture, mutilation, self-harm, etc.

With all of that being said, yes, Jesse's original intention for River was for him to be your standard "serial killer-turned-yandere once he accidentally catches feelings for his latest victim (Bunny)". The only main difference is that I originally planned for River to be a generic murderer first, whereas Jesse had him become a yandere right off the bat.

You also asked to know more about Unsent Memories, and I think giving a general synopsis(?) would be fine?? ^^ But basically... After getting involved in a car accident, Bunny wakes up with amnesia and gets tricked into thinking that this random guy — whom they've never met before — is their loving, supportive boyfriend named River. In turn, he convinces Bunny that staying in their shared home would be more beneficial than staying in the hospital as it might rekindle some old memories, he'd be able to take care of them, and it would be easier for them to recover at their own pace. But surprise!! River is actually a frequent patron at the Murderer Motel™ and now has trapped Bunny in his Torture Basement®!!! <3 He also maaaay or may not've been the one who hit them with Ren's car as well... ^^ Oopsie daisy hehe

And yeah!! Similar to what you've said, River was also supposed to share (somewhat of) a narrative foil with Ren!! I personally wanted them both to have similar, complimenting vibes with each other — all while having completely different/separate motives and incentives when it comes to the object of their affection. I'm glad to see it was conveyed well enough; even after Jesse's additions to River's characterisation :3 I know I already shared some examples in the previous tags, but I can share a few more:

Where Ren puts Angel's feelings and opinions above his own, River purposefully ignores Bunny's and does everything for his own personal benefit. Essentially, "I'm doing this for you" vs "I'm doing this for me".

While Ren would never dream about harming Angel in any capacity, he's perfectly happy to kidnap, extort, torture, and kill everyone else... In contrast to River, who's accustomed to torturing and brutalising others for his own twisted enjoyment and sees it as a way to show his interest in Bunny.

Kinda silly how Ren claims to be a freelance programmer (but is actually a hacker) and how River claims to work at a music shop (it's a coverup for his second torture chamber lmaoooo).

[CW: implications of SH] Ren is willing to go as far as mentally and physically hurting himself if Angel asks him to, whereas River is willing to physically mutilate Bunny if it means keeping them by his side. [end CW]

With that being said, you can assume that Ren is easily swayed by Angel's words, opinions, and emotions, whereas River can easily sway and manipulate Bunny due to his own feelings and emotions.

This is something I've actually mentioned before, but Ren always prefers things to be tidy, so he often cleans himself up after disposing of his victims. Compared to River, who casually wears the bloodstains with pride and blames it on getting a bit rough with someone else during a boxing match.

It's no secret that Ren is willing to change every aspect of himself to earn Angel's love, and River is willing to change his serial killer ways to return Bunny's love. Da power of friendship and repressed childhood memories gksdgjh T_T /silly

Ren pretends to be a Normal Guy© with tons of empathy to spare, whereas River pretends to be a Regular Person℗ with the heart of a himbo.

I could go on but you get da point lol

So, yeah!! This is essentially the vibes we had planned for River (and Unsent Memories) before Jesse stepped down /pos ^^ I feel like talking vaguely about UM is fine since River only has a small cameo in 14DWY — and I'm sure that if Jesse ever returns from war (/silly), they'll give River muuuuch more justice than I possibly can :3c

The writing beans have returned!!! For now. They're like spooked deer at the moment lol. I've written more for part 2 of I'll Catch You, plus some of another BTHB prompt! I think I picked a general direction I want to go with this fic, so have a snippet that takes place a bit before the last one:

It seemed almost careless. But why? From what Eddie remembered, they were anything but. Meticulous graves, almost clinical precision based on the autopsies Athena told him about. They teased the police with evidence, but nothing concrete enough to charge them. It was a game to them. And Eddie was the chess piece they'd yet to take. The door swung open and George strolled in. Eddie realized why he was so careless. George held the gun loosely in his hand, casually, like the weight of it or the potential it had didn't phase him. It probably didn't. “Sorry I had to move this forward,” he said with a smirk. “It really is inconvenient,” Eddie drawled. “Take it up with the reporter,” George shrugged. He perched on the table across from Eddie, setting the gun down beside him.
