#dective cross

[thora-sniper]

With all this Techtober I miss my gloomy handsome man.

I was writing one episode for my modern AU "Detective Cross" this weekend and it was really really hard, I never ever cry while writing. And this even not the part of first book, this was planning for the future. But have you ever have that scene that eating your soul completely? And that's it.

Full under cut and part of this story too. It's teaser so it may be corrected lately.

-Нужно тебя согреть, ты простудишься, - снимая ботинки и вешая на крючок куртку, ответила Тора. - Давай поставим чайник. Может быть примешь душ?

-Предпочитаю отмокать в ванной, - зачем-то признался он. - Кухня там, - он махнул рукой в темный угол. - Хотя знаешь, давай везде включим в свет, не могу больше выносить эту темноту, - нажимая на все выключатели, он попутно стащил с себя рубашку и брюки, кинул их в корзину при входе в ванную и, оставшись без одежды проследовал в ванную.

Бледная с застаревшими синяками и царапинами спина не осталась без внимания. Он был не просто ранен физически, это было настоящее истязание души. "Ведьма Олвин". Он так назвал эту женщину, случайно использовав эвфемизм или начальница и в самом деле практиковала запретные знания. Поставив чайник, Тора села на стул, оглядывая шкафы вокруг себя. В одном из них за стеклянной дверью стройными рядами стояли бутылки с алкоголем. Если девушка правильно понимала, это был еще один способ сбросить напряжение. Она выбрала из кучи грязной посуды стакан и принялась тщательно его оттирать. Гарри не было дома все две недели, поэтому дом отчаянно нуждался в уборке, а посуда в мойке.

В ванной перестала течь вода, раздался усталый плюх. Гарри случайно или по привычке не закрыл дверь, но Тора все равно намеревалась притащить ему стакан, не дожидаясь, пока он закончит. Небольшая порция золотистого бренди плескалась в стакане, ��ока она осторожно шла по коридору. На пороге девушка замерла, ее желание помочь натолкнулось на осознание того, что ее напарник сейчас совершенно голый, отделен от нее бортами ванны и несколькими литрами воды. Но одного взгляда на искаженное страданием лицо, скрюченную позу и медленно капающие в воду слезы хватило даже ей, чтобы понять, она все делает правильно, и должна быть рядом.

Вынув из-под раковины складной стул, она расположилась рядом, все еще держа стакан. Другой рукой она принялась гладить мокрые волосы Гарри. Он словно снова не обращал на нее внимания, погруженный в свои воспоминания.

Тора поставила стакан, потянулась за мягкой мочалкой и мылом. Взбила пушистую пену и начала тереть сначала шею, потом плечи и спину. Перехватив руку, девушка заметила, что та почти безвольно свисает с ее ладони, а мужчина со слабой улыбкой смотрит прямо на нее. Мотнув головой, чтобы скинуть собственное оцепенение, Тора продолжила смывать грязь с напарника, нацепив деловито безразличное выражение.

Liu: so he came back here *smiles* I'm going to say something don't cross his path because he's kind but sometimes cruel to bad people since he suffered at the hands of people like them he went to tell a story once upon a time there was a boy he was a prince but was stillborn after that his parents were killed in front of him as if that wasn't enough he was abused as a baby and became an experiment he suffered for years there until something came and killed the scientists and released all the experiments after that he wandered alone in a world he didn't know he met a boy who just lost his parents and started living with him but he was always chased by everyone they never left him alone the boy's friends started to protect him until he disappeared he was caught by someone and after that the person you are looking for never came again and this boy must be listening to us now since he can hear everything around him

#roleplay 2

*he looks and taps his leg fast*

Dective: really. an experiment. well there is a research lab near by that I am allowed to go in and is abandoned but there are old blood stains and we were able to gain DNA of scientists but shows that some where mentally ill and did "atrocious" deeds to what they were doing. We found small skeletons of children. Some where highly radioactive and we are currently doing test on whom these children were and gaining the files that were on the computers since they were not damaged from what ever happened there.

Yeah everyone keeps mentioning season one so they may have gotten a two season deal, it's definitely not unheard of. Most of the shows now are doing at least two on HBO. Don't forget they don't have to do a season a year, GOT and True Dective have a longer break so they could be two years until they film the next season! I really hope she does TLM too. I am not believing anything until they announce the role! She would be a great Ariel though so fingers crossed for sure!

I didn’t know that.  Thanks, anon!

Me: Why did the chicken cross the road? :)

Tumblr: STOP

Me: To get to the other side! (:

Hi! I don't want to be rude or weird or something, but I'm trying to track an artist? I got an Animal Crossing sticker of Goldie and Lucky and is signed under "Cobalt Castle"... I saw that the blog is now dectivated but I really want to know if the artist has another blog/acc/social media of any kind because I do like the art and how soft and cozy it looks, thanks to google I saw that they tagged you on a post long ago, thanks in advance!sorry if its weird :c

Not rude at all! I'd be happy to help, but I might need a little more info. If you could point me to their post where they tagged me, or something to that effect, I might be able to puzzle out who they were. You can message me and I'll see if I can assist.

This bathroom episode continues today.

With all this Techtober I miss my gloomy handsome man.

I was writing one episode for my modern AU "Detective Cross" this weekend and it was really really hard, I never ever cry while writing. And this even not the part of first book, this was planning for the future. But have you ever have that scene that eating your soul completely? And that's it.

Full under cut and part of this story too. It's teaser so it may be corrected lately.

-Нужно тебя согреть, ты простудишься, - снимая ботинки и вешая на крючок куртку, ответила Тора. - Давай поставим чайник. Может быть примешь душ?

-Предпочитаю отмокать в ванной, - зачем-то признался он. - Кухня там, - он махнул рукой в темный угол. - Хотя знаешь, давай везде включим в свет, не могу больше выносить эту темноту, - нажимая на все выключатели, он попутно стащил с себя рубашку и брюки, кинул их в корзину при входе в ванную и, оставшись без одежды проследовал в ванную.

Бледная с застаревшими синяками и царапинами спина не осталась без внимания. Он был не просто ранен физически, это было настоящее истязание души. "Ведьма Олвин". Он так назвал эту женщину, случайно использовав эвфемизм или начальница и в самом деле практиковала запретные знания. Поставив чайник, Тора села на стул, оглядывая шкафы вокруг себя. В одном из них за стеклянной дверью стройными рядами стояли бутылки с алкоголем. Если девушка правильно понимала, это был еще один способ сбросить напряжение. Она выбрала из кучи грязной посуды стакан и принялась тщательно его оттирать. Гарри не было дома все две недели, поэтому дом отчаянно нуждался в уборке, а посуда в мойке.

В ванной перестала течь вода, раздался усталый плюх. Гарри случайно или по привычке не закрыл дверь, но Тора все равно намеревалась притащить ему стакан, не дожидаясь, пока он закончит. Небольшая порция золотистого бренди плескалась в стакане, пока она осторожно шла по коридору. На пороге девушка замерла, ее желание помочь натолкнулось на осознание того, что ее напарник сейчас совершенно голый, отделен от нее бортами ванны и несколькими литрами воды. Но одного взгляда на искаженное страданием лицо, скрюченную позу и медленно капающие в воду слезы хватило даже ей, чтобы понять, она все делает правильно, и должна быть рядом.

Вынув из-под раковины складной стул, она расположилась рядом, все еще держа стакан. Другой рукой она принялась гладить мокрые волосы Гарри. Он словно снова не обращал на нее внимания, погруженный в свои воспоминания.

Тора поставила стакан, потянулась за мягкой мочалкой и мылом. Взбила пушистую пену и начала тереть сначала шею, потом плечи и спину. Перехватив руку, девушка заметила, что та почти безвольно свисает с ее ладони, а мужчина со слабой улыбкой смотрит прямо на нее. Мотнув головой, чтобы скинуть собственное оцепенение, Тора продолжила смывать грязь с напарника, нацепив деловито безразличное выражение.

It's finished with line and some color. Little correct proportions

Detective Cross is so thoughtful about what happened with him, what does he feel to his partner and what she just done for him.

With all this Techtober I miss my gloomy handsome man.

Тора поставила стакан, потянулась за мягкой мочалкой и мылом. Взбила пушистую пену и начала тереть сначала шею, потом плечи и спину. Перехватив руку, девушка заметила, что та почти безвольно свисает с ее ладони, а мужчина со слабой улыбкой смотрит прямо на нее. Мотнув головой, чтобы скинуть собственное оцепенение, Тора продолжила смывать грязь с напарника, нацепив деловито безразличное выражение.
