[dk-thrive]

It never really goes away, the longing for the life not lived, because isn’t that part of how we come to know ourselves too? Through what we lack as much as what we have, all we dream but do not hold. Some desires have no resolution.

"All his rules for butterflies and birds. He treated me like a light thing. Loving things loosely and then letting them go."

Madelaine Lucas "Thirst for Salt"

[everythingiread]

Always the beggar for his love. I was like the desperate ocean, wearing away at him. The ceaseless questioning of the tide to the shore that I heard from our bedroom window all winter long. Asking, Do you love me? Do you love me?

Thirst for Salt, Madelaine Lucas

[novelsforhungrypeople]

A single glass of white could recall oysters and brine and lovers' spit and citrus fruits and sunburn, a glass of red grass and dirt and blackberry, blackberry, blackberry. Like the line from the poem Jude read aloud to me that afternoon in my concrete backyard, the pavement cracked with weeds, while we sat on the chipped garden furniture eating prosciutto with pearls of melon, smoked salmon with crème fraiche, cheese layered on thick crusts of bread, truffle honey, strong black coffee.

[dearorpheus]

“Desire, I was only beginning to understand […], comes in many forms, and some of them are violent. We learn this in the stories we are told about love. Struck by an angel’s arrow or drugged by a loveflower, desire wounds, and I had felt its blue sting. The thought of him all day, like pushing on a bruise.”

— Madelaine Lucas, Thirst For Salt

OKAY SO I have been thinking about Kyle and Price... i just love to think how Kyle would be so devoted to make Price proud while having secret feelings. Everytime Price pats him on the shoulder saying he did a good job, he would get hard :( and one day after a successful mission they get drunk, the tension is high and Kyle finally kisses his beloved captain and Price is shocked!! But doesn't reject his sergeant's affection.

Though it catches him off guard when Kyle pushes him down on the bed, gets on top of him and starts preaparing him, stretching his hole with thick fingers.

Honestly it's hard to imagine Price as a bottom but something about this dynamic gets me...

hi babe sorry this was in my inbox for…a long time. anyway i loooooove me some Price/Gaz. i do. however i’m sorry because i can only ever stomach Price being a Dom haha. i actually had a planned fic planned for them!!! it was loosely based off Madelaine Lucas’ Thirst for Salt and would have followed them through the years as a blindly trusting sergeant and a captain who darkly capitalizes off that

i just love the manipulation and hero-worship in their relationship because those two things together do not make for a healthy pair but…if it’s past the point of Gaz caring, or if John has been in business too long at this point to heed the young sergeant’s feelings…yeah. i love me some Price/Gaz

i’m trying to revive my goodreads!!! who wants to be friends hehehe
