#letters i can’t send

[laterinjune]

september, did you ever have to catch your breath in breakneck intervals as a desperate attempt to save your life? did you have to resist the urge to bang your head against the grey walls of your bedroom? have you ever had dangerous thoughts of smashing your guitar on the cold, hard tiles of your floors? push the buildings off your shelves? curse your father out at the dining table?

do you do it on purpose: serenade every single woman to sleep, become the love interest in their dreams? do you purposefully leave them in the darkness after flickering your flashlight on them?

do goosebumps crawl over your skin when faint whispers of love pass right by you, or are you already sick of things before even starting them? do you make your victims feel as sick as they make you? do you ever feel sick? because i do. i do, i do, i do — but you don’t. you never. the words you speak to me are both the cause and antidote of my what-ifs and deluded desires; my words, for you, however, are mere second things — a prayer already answered, spoiled food left on the back burner, a letter swept under your bed. they are words already heard from a person that was never meant to be me.

did you ever mean to do that to me?

did you know? have you ever known?

i don’t know if i want you to.

oh to be one you love again. i miss you always. it takes everything in me to not scream how deep my love runs everytime i see you. you’re so beautiful.

Halenthir scenario where they get married for tax benefits (in a platonic good friends sort of way) and fall in love long distance via sending each other letters with ideas on how to best leverage their marriage for tax evasion.

merlin being forced to confront the fact that he’s failing his people bc he’s sitting idly by while uther slaughters them all and coming to the decision that he has to act to save them but that’ll make him camelot enemy no. 1 but technically he already was they just didn’t know it. merlin spending a week all morose but unwilling to talk about it and spending as much time with his friends as possible. on his last night in camelot, he goes to arthur’s chambers and the prince is confused on why he’s there. merlin drops a sealed letter on his desk before pulling arthur into a gentle and emotional kiss. they barely separate, their lips hardly a breath apart, and merlin asks for forgiveness. arthur, thinking he’s apologizing for the kiss, tells him there’s nothing to forgive and goes in for a second kiss but merlin pulls away, knowing that that one brief kiss was all he could handle. if he lets arthur kiss him the way he’s dreamt of being kissed, he won’t be able to do what he needs to do, he won’t be able to leave. merlin tells him good night and leaves before arthur can react. he’s gone by dawn.

I saw the glasses and couldn’t help but draw Donnie with his little reading glasses and a book!

I like to imagine it’s something nerdy like astrophysics or something(definitely not because that’s my current hyperfixation and I’m projecting…) because I think he’d find that interesting and would totally read heavy materials like textbooks with his morning coffee, like a maniac(I also totally don’t do this and definitely am not projecting again for sure…).

For @atomic-rattz dtiys:

I’m trying out a new art style so this is this a little doodle I guess. Also, I’ve been pretty busy lately, so I didn’t have time(let’s be real, I had time I just didn’t have the mental capacity) to do rendering or anything either, just flat color.

Below are variations with added doodles and such because I was bored and realized I can do what I want:

In The Roses of Pieria

dark fantasy romance

as she begins to translate romantic letters between two ancient figures and unravel more about them, her frustration over the knowledge being kept secret and confusion over what the letters reveal grows

but between that and her developing feelings for her employer’s assistant, she finds out that getting to close to these secrets is dangerous

lesbians, vampires, fey

I am begging you Lukola, stop it. I don’t think I can handle to love you more than I already do.

I would say it’s unrealistic to write a fic where Chris comes home after the summer only to find out Buck and Tommy have moved in but then I remembered Eddie canonically asked Marisol to move in within a week of Chris being out of town
