#be my mirror my sword and shield

[applecidersstuff]

You can say whatever you want, but “Viva La Vida” feels like the end of “Crooked Kingdom”

It feels like Inej standing on her ship looking back at Ketterdam promising to came back.

It feels like Wylan and Jesper laughing in the kitchen of Van Eck mansion.

It feels like Nina on her way to Fjerda.

It feels like Matthias being welcomed home.

It feels like Kaz standing on the berth looking at Inej leave.

It feels like an ending.

Fic: be my mirror, my sword and shield

Chapter: 2

-

The door opens, and every head turns, including Reborn's, who has not needed to physically turn his head to survey a room since he was a wet behind the ears rookie.

Considering he has gone to great lengths to wipe the memory of such a time from both his own mind and the collective consciousness of the underworld with unparalleled skill and professionalism in the intervening years since, he can aptly say he's never had to physically turn his head to survey a room - until now.

He watches, not quite purposefully, as a blonde, blue-eyed man clad in a sharp suit and vest enters the Cafe and draws all eyes with every step inside. He walks with the easy confidence of a seasoned fighter, and Reborn can tell at a glance that it's not unwarranted. 

You learn to measure these things in his line of work, and he's never been wrong. (Anyone who'd tell anyone else otherwise is dead, anyway, so he's right by virtue of being the only witness.)

The man is also notably handsome, and the smile he flashes the barista taking his order charms half the room. And that, only because the other half had already looked away. 

Reborn realizes that among those who, like him, had continued to stare, most were actually flame actives. He recognizes a few as members of various families or freelancers, and the ones he doesn't are obviously affiliated with the others or else involved in the underworld in some way.

I love Zelda dungeons and LU dungeon crawling fics are some of my favorites! I'm so excited to see what puzzles Jojo's come up with! Nine person puzzles? Let's goOOO!!! There's so many possible interesting things to do with the chain's items and abilities.

@worldneeds 𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐃 "bro, you're not him. you're not."

on the last few notes of his entrance music, off the back of his swaggering introduction, the smile on his face turns wicked. sweet to be wanted by the masses, but not the honey-smooth feeling in his throat when he locks eyes with her, sees the defiance he's come to want served with his coffee every morning. for a moment, he appeals to the murmuring crowd, lets them chant and throw up their hands, lets their frothing admiration be the only answer he needs. "nah?" the noise gets deafening when he slides through the ropes towards her, belt on his shoulder, microphone in hand. damn girl's got heels on today, must know what it does to him to have to glance up to meet her eyes. "'cause i could'a sworn that last week you was singin' a different song." he sees his adoration reflected in her, the impossibility of keeping this all to himself. "don't make me go and embarrass you in front of all your little friends now, lash. i don't think they ready to hear what i got to say."

Coldplay's 'Viva la Vida' has been applied to everything from the MCU to Naruto, but I have to admit, the first time I really heard the lyrics, my immediate first thought was 'oh, this is about Tom Robbins' Jitterbug Perfume'.

@worldneeds 𝐒����𝐈𝐃 “what if we did get caught? would i lose my appeal?”

first he kisses her, and then his teeth. "don't trip, baby." in tampa bay, there's a stairwell with a nook carved underneath it that they both have to duck to squeeze into, all smiles, all teeth. here in st louis it's easier, a whole room to themselves behind the catering area that trick managed to charm his way into about a month ago. sometimes she doesn't even need to text him - he'll show up here and wait on her, leaving the door unlocked, hoping her muscle memory works the same way his does. it's more deliberate now, the step he takes into her space. there was no air between them before, and now there's nothing but heat. "ain't it always me sayin' we can let 'em know? hell, i'll tell 'em right now. right now."

"i hear jerusalem bells a-ringin', roman cavalry choirs are singing, be my mirror, my sword and shield, my missionaries in a foreign field, for some reason, I can't explain, i know saint peter won't call my name, never an honest word, but that was when I ruled the world."
