“Forgive my undress, Lord H,” Viktor murmurs, his hands clutching at a mug of tea so at odds with the usual fine palace china. “It’s too early in the morning for civilisation, don’t you agree?” Yuuri checks his pocket watch. “It’s six, when you should normally be awake, sir.” “And yet, I feel like doing nothing this morning,” says Viktor, looking pointedly at the dispatch box Yuuri has under his arm. “Which chamberlain did you sweet-talk to get all the way to my bedchamber?” “I didn’t have to sweet-talk anyone,” Yuuri replies. “Which… says a lot about their perceptions of us, doesn’t it? Me having unfettered access to your bedroom?” “I hear the palace gossip,” agrees Viktor. “And frankly, I don’t give a damn.” (King Victor II of Petersburg and his prime minister sneak a moment together. Historical AU.)

Seriously tho, 'King and Lionheart' by Of Monsters and Men...

It fits both of them so well?! You could say the first verses feel more Peter to Ed, and the second Ed about/to Peter, but it's all about them. They are both king and lionheart.

Lionheart, as in the knight closest and dearest to the king, his right hand, and second, which of course is both of them to each other, but especially Ed to Peter's High King.

Lionheart, as in a passionate warrior, brave and fierce and bold and protective, and that's all Peter to the letter, a spark, a leader in battle, to Edmund's wise kingly judgment.

Lionheart, as followers of the Lion, who holds both their hearts, as they are both kings under Him.

How has no one made a fanvid for this??

First verses are LWW. Taking over this town/they should worry... We won’t run... In the winter night sky/ships are sailing... We're here to stay...

Then second verse is PC. His crown lit up the way as we moved slowly/past the wondering eyes of the ones that were left behind... Though far away/we're still the same...

The chorus Howling ghosts they reappear/in mountains that are stacked with fear/But you're a king and I'm a lionheart... Making me think of the White Witch for Edmund, and Peter out in the mess of a battlefield in Italy or Germany.

And the last verse is part VotD, part Last Battle.

And in the sea that's painted black/creatures lurk below the deck/But you're a king and I'm a lionheart... Ed fighting the sea serpent with Rhindon anyone??😢

And as the world comes to an end/I'll be here to hold your hand/'Cause you're my king and I'm your lionheart... Like, they died together, you know! 😭 Standing at the station, seeing the train come in, too fast, and I bet in the one fraction of perfect clarity, Peter turns his back on the approaching calamity, reaches for Ed, puts himself between his little brother and death, shields him with his own body, and pulls Ed into his arms. And they're found like that, in the wreckage of the station. Crushed, burned, but still holding on to each other, Peter on top of Ed, his protection just not quite enough to save him. And Susan isn't the least surprised by that bit of the report. 😭😭😭

Just this song, man. It's giving me all the feels.

His crown lit up the way as we moved slowly / 'Cause you're my king and I'm your lionheart

Playing a playlist on shuffle and King and lionheart came on by monsters and men. INSTANTLY I started crying. Damn that show. Merlin and Arthur still hurts even after more than TEN YEARS. T . T

The Best Trope Ever Showdown: Round 1, Side C

King and Lionheart

Named for the Of Monsters And Men song, this trope is about one person who is in some kind of position of power or centrality (not necessarily a king, but could be) and a person who stands by them either in the form of a protector, trusted advisor, or friend. A key component of this trope is the power difference in the eyes of the world (where one has social status and the other does not), but where that power difference does not exist away from the world owing to the love/trust they have in each other. It's a trope defined by loyalty, trust, and love that exists in spite of the class/status divide between them (no TVTropes page submitted)

Propaganda:

It's about the trust, it's about the yearning, it's about the "I would die for you," it's about the mutual love, it's about the way they see each other as absolute equals even when the world does not IT'S ABOUT THE FEALTY

Marriage of Convenience

Propaganda:

I think marriages like this have so much comedy, angst and fluff potential. Business partners married for tax benefits, a gay man and a lesbian marrying to hide their queer identity from relatives, two people in an arranged marriage who don’t end up falling in love but do become besties, friends getting married so one of them can move to the country, two people in a political marriage who despise eachother and keep carrying out increasingly elaborate murder plots on eachother and have to keep up the loving act around others… You can even take it in a “pretend relationship” direction and have it start as platonic and turn to romance, but I think it’s funner to subvert romance and have friends/enemies married

[lordofthemushrooms]

Yeah yeah I don’t know how to experience love in a healthy way I know. But it’s not my fault I listened to King and Lionheart by Of Monsters and Men at the age of 12 and let it rearrange the feeling of love in my soul forever

[pearis-a]

I'm very outraged by the lack of fanfics about great cities series, how is this possible, where are the fangirls? we have manny and new york avatar, we have a king and lionheart dynamic and a total of 5 fanfics on AO3 focused 100% on them, this is absurd

[rainintheevening]
