#Romantic Ballads

[quill-pen]

So... I got hit with inspiration and rewrote this song:

And turned it from a lullaby into a romantic ballad for Ebeness. (Though he probably still sings it to her on nights when Bess has trouble sleeping.) I have no regrets.

Yes, because I've headcanoned that Ebenezer can play piano, I've consequently headcanoned that he wrote this for Bess and played it for her at their vow renewal on their one-year anniversary.

@rom-e-o Yeah, thanks to you, I'mma have to change Bess from "Sweetness" to "Brightness" now.

Brightness

It always seems the warmest in the dark

Before the first call of the lark.

When romance blooms under the Moon,

The night is filled with love's soft tune.

I used to think that I was lost;

The thought of love filled me with shame.

A life alone--sin's bitter cost,

But then You came...

Every Star became aligned,

And I did take it as a sign

The future was Brightness!

Everything became Brightness.

And then the Constellations cried

As fates and destinies were tied.

There was nothing but Brightness!

Just spectacular Brightness.

The day that you appeared the Sun went black;

Now I live for the Night.

Hera took the Stars away

And placed them in your eyes.

You became my great Eclipse;

You became my Midnight Sun!

I thought that I knew all the moons

But then you pulled me back to one.

Every Star became aligned,

And I did take it as a sign

The future was Brightness!

Everything became Brightness.

And then the Constellations cried

As fates and destinies were tied.

There was nothing but Brightness!

The most wonderful Brightness.

And if the Wishing Stars rain down,

I'll make them all into your crown.

You are my Brightness!

My most glorious Brightness.

Now when the Moon climbs through the sky

She will be dim next to your eyes;

You are my Brightness.

My beautiful Brightness.

Wyll Ravengard is charisma king, he does not rehearse his romantic lines, his mind makes that shit up on the spot like it's nothing, see the light people!!!

there needs to be more lucy gray stuff on tumblr i swear 😭😭 it’s actually hurting me, im in love with her. anyways…could you write some fluff headcanons w lucy gray and a fem!reader pls? thx :)

I ❤️ Lucy Gray

Lucy Gray Baird x Fem! Reader (headcanons, fluff, romantic)

She is likely the type of person to not care if someone is a man or a woman. If she likes you, you're around her age, and you're kind, you might as well date

Before dating, she was very willing to drop hints. If there was a sign of interest you had in her, she took the opportunity

After dating, she is just as sweet as before, a bit toned down but still loving

Lucy Gray expects you to go to her shows, all of them if you can

Piggybacking off the last one, she'll write songs for and about you. They'll be ballads talking about your kindness and the things you give her

Roses are some of her favorite gifts, she loves the taste and they always smell good. Another good option is handmade gifts, letters, poems, hell, food is all she adores

If you give her poems, she is very willing to turn them into songs. But only sings them for you since they're special

She has sung to you and played the guitar for you. But in a cool way

She NEEDS to feel like she can trust you. She couldn't trust Billy Taupe and she couldn't trust anyone in the arena, so you still have time to prove to her that you're trustworthy

After the Games, violence was an absolute no in her life (it was a no before but it's absolute after everything). If you find a way to bring that brutality back into her life, she'll leave as quickly as she had come

If you get her gifts that are a bit expensive, she'll send you some goat cheese for free!

To all that have requested before this post was, I’m working on several longer fanfics and plan to release the headcanons first then the full fanfics when I finish them!!

It's the camera movements, the close shots, and composition that make it look like a love montage from a John Hughes movie, and the angles that are fitting for an 80s ballad in the background

Also, I love that the close ups don't start until Carmy lays eyes on Sydney.

W and MC give such soulmates vibe 😭 Patrocles (W) and Achilles (MC), which ironic considering my MC has dark hair and W has the blonde hair but I digress.

Even if I'm saying all this, please don't actually turn them into a Greek tragedy 😔

um haha, what do you meeaaannnn? i’m obviously not gonna do that, everything is going to be fine and dandy in the end 😄 trust in me and i won’t steer you wrong 🫡

but it’s funny that you mention patrocles and achilles with W because that’s the myth on how their character and route came to be. i gave them achilles’s looks and patrocles’s general melancholic disposition so it’s surprising to see someone clock that, even if it was unintentional.

defeating seven evil exes? boring. singing me my favorite broadway ballads? fun and romantic. clear effort.

[vampirehizzies]

its the same story every damn time though, like no matter how impractical it is there's still always that same devastating and tragic scenario where they couldn't save their district partner and by snow's logic it shouldn't matter since in this dog-eat-dog world of the hunger games alliances/caring about another person is impossible. yet again and again you see some kid always watching someone he knew from home die and how it hurts him. and you see this pattern from three (probably more) different districts over 74 years - treech and lamina, haymitch and maysilee, cato and clove.

Reunion: A Ripple [Part 1]

Summary: The sequel to Adopt a Wanderer is finally here!

Note: This sequel series will be more open-ended in terms of romantic/platonic interactions (nothing that cements either one will be included), so readers can read it how they like!

Read the first series here! (an AU where Scaramouche/Wanderer gets isekaied to your world, found-family series)

-> Part 2

There are many sayings to explain what one sees in their dreams; that they are fragments of memories strewn together, visualizations of yearning, or fears brought to life.

To Wanderer—who stands knee-deep in a dark blue and violet sea—it is a mixture of all three.

He sees a figure in the distance that wades through the scenery. Their visage grows hazier the more he tries to look closer, and they take a silent step away from him—followed by a drop of water that reverberates through the dreamscape, transporting him into a different place altogether.

Wanderer is in a house, its floorings and decoration something he cannot identify as Teyvatian. It is foreign in a way that doesn’t seem like it’d be able to hold him; as if a hunter dropped a woven net over the puppet, expecting it to be enough to snare the callous soul. 

He stands, as if frozen in time, like a creature taken aback by this new sensation, and allows himself to stay still as he turns his gaze to the sound of running water.

A person washing dishes. Wanderer barely recognises your face at first, but an odd sense of familiarity calls out to him from your movements—relaxed, humming to a song playing from your phone—and his eyes widen as something clicks in his mind.

The last thing he manages to do before he is snatched away, is reach out his hand towards you. Does it in such panic that his arm aches, as if his action could race against the way his consciousness closes in on itself, engulfing everything in a voidless dark. 

His lashes flutter open, and a sharp pain throbs at the back of his skull.

He groans, cursing the headache, and covers his eyes with a hand as if that would keep the dream from slipping away.

Irminsul. Wanderer clenches his jaw. What has it done?

what I wouldn't give to have haymitch abernathy call me sweetheart 😭

[carcarrot]

you won't believe the amount of bad movies i can watch

[ballad-of-birdy-lamb]

hi ! i’ve never actually requested before, so i apologize if i’m doing this incorrectly 😭 i saw that you were asking for tbosbas asks and i’m starving for content atm lmao. anyway, i was wondering if you could write some fluff headcanons for sejanus plinth and reaper ash (separate) with a fem! reader (romantic is preferred, and gn is okay as well if you’re more comfortable with it) ! i’m sorry again if i did this wrong, but i love your writing and you seem so sweet so i wanted to give it a try !!

Thank you so much! And yes, you did ask in the correct place!

Sejanus Plinth x Fem! Reader x Reaper Ash (separate, romantic/fluff headcanons)

Mention of the public hangings in Reapers part

Sejanus Plinth:

He understands love and knows how to express it, he just didn't expect it to be so difficult. Like, why is Sejanus so scared to give you a note to go out with him? Why is he so nervous when he needs to talk to you? Why can't he just be smooth and not scared shitless?

Whenever Ma makes sweets, he'll give them to you as a gift. No matter the treat, if you like it, it's yours. Ma likes it since she doesn't have to worry about fridge and cabinet space and she can bake as much as she wants

If you're from one of the districts like he was, Sejanus will want to learn about your district or reminisce about District Two (if you share a district)

If you're from the Capital, he'll tell you about what life was like for the brief time he was in District Two. He’ll even ask Ma about Two just to tell you more

When Strabo eventually finds out, it's a very awkward talk. If you're from the Capital, he'll ask if you're from a wealthy family. Generally, Strabo will be calmer about it. If you're from a district, it's far worse. Strabo thinks it's an act from Sejanus wanting to stay district or keep part of it with him.

Nervous when he started going out with you. Sejanus had the worst anxiety the entire time. What if he tripped and embarrassed himself? What if he choked on food at a diner?

He constantly asks to do basic couple things. Sejanus asks to hold hands even years into the relationship when it's normal to not constantly need to ask anymore. But he does it because he's still nervous, you're still the prettiest girl he's ever seen and he will forever always be shy around you.

Reaper Ash:

FINALLY, someone talks about him omg

You're extremely lucky to be able to date him since he doesn't go out of his way to get a lover

Even then, he is the sweetest man in the world, especially in relationships. Treats you very well and forever will

Since you both live in District Eleven, one of the poorest districts, there isn't much that goes around. But even then, Reaper constantly saves up for a potential wedding. He's never gonna tell you where the money’s going. “It's going to be for a good cause for us.” Reaper constantly says, never evaluating the matter. But he'll make comments about how your future will go

Reaper wanted to win the Games not only to take on the Capital but to go home and marry you. He's said it many years before, every year before reaping day

“I'll come home and I'll marry you. We'll have a nice wedding and then we’ll live together for the rest of our lives.” Reaper smiled at the idea but looked away from embarrassment. “I hope that doesn't sound too cheesy.”

He takes his values very seriously and it affects how he sees you too. If you're sympathetic towards the Capital, you wouldn't be in a relationship in the first place. Simple as that

Reaper has a habit of going to you whenever he gets upset throughout the day. Another public hanging, he's going to you to rant. He rants about everything. He goes on about the cruelty of the Capital and how the districts are still the animals but don't kill Capital children every year

If he got the moment to talk to you before he was on the train, he would have asked for you to never watch his games. It wasn't normal to be that violent and didn't want to have your views of him altered by the violence he would need to attain to win

Every year, just before the reaping ceremony, he kisses you. He gives you a simple goodbye if he's ever reaped but it means a lot. At least there's someone in District Eleven rooting for him to come home.
