#letters to lost loves

[personthatseesdifferently]

Tonight, as I worked on my book (an autobiographical tale of trauma and growth), I wrote about a love affair from long ago. His name was Devin. The months I spent with him were filled with chivalry and romance.

Devin, wherever you are, I hope you know that I have never forgotten you. The gifts you gave me are lifelong. Of course, I’ll always have the tattoo that represents the spiritual conversations and epiphanies we shared. But what you have given me is far more permanent than a tattoo could ever be. I hope you are happy and your life is abundant. You deserve nothing less.

You haven't given up on others yet. And you don't need to give up. At the least I'm looking your way, Sakura. So why don't you look this way as well? If you do, I'm sure… you'll become what you want to be.

In every lifetime, every universe, my soul will be drawn to yours.

I will choose you in every life.

au where SQQ does undergo the 'qi-deviation' and is 'changed' but in reality the twin of Shen Jiu, Shen Yuan made a comment one day about how all Shen Jiu did was bitch about his martial siblings. Never one to turn down a golden opportunity,

Shen Jiu: bet

And so the twins decided to switch lives!

The qi-deviation is just so they can explain away any differences of temperament and so sj can hightail away easier.

Shen Yuan: this is going to be so easy

(spoiler. it wasn't)

Between useless sect meetings that could've been not even an email but a text message, reading fifteen different preteens attempts to sneak in dick jokes into their poetry assignments, the head cook alerting him to the fact that they've somehow run out of rice??? They're the greatest cultivation sect??? How does that happen???

Anyway, two of his Hall masters eloping together and taking an extended honeymoon (he's happy for them, but. Who's going to teach those classes now??? Him. Apparently.), sect politics and his 'martial siblings' barely even attempting a farce of civility or courtesy AND his guqin strings needing to be replaced and restrung ?

Shen Yuan is sorry 🙏🙏please come back🙏🙏🙏

Cue the allotted period of switching ending and Shen Yuan dramatically throwing the fan on the ground as Shen Jiu rolls up and goes "thanks for the vacation didi"

intriguing… tell me more, what do rafe n babydoll argue about during sex?🤔 (idk why i feel a film noir character typing this xbxndn)

bestie… what don’t they argue about ??? as much as we love rafey and babydoll, they can be a little toxic. most of the time their arguments are about how much he works, money, or his attitude overall ‘cause we all know he has a short fuse…

“can’t stand the way you speak to me sometimes,” you huff out, tugging on his hair as he hovers above you.

the force behind his thrusts ‘n how well he fills you up makes it hard for you to get it out, but you piece each word together and hope for the best.

“yeah?” rafe grunts with a dangerous edge to his voice. he squeezes your hips in his palms— his grip is painful, makes you mewl while he continues on, “that right, babydoll?”

suddenly everything’s moving so much faster. his hands slip down, tucking themselves under your knees and forcing your body to fold in half under him while you squeal.

your lungs burn. every fiber of your being feels like it’s actively buzzing because you swear he’s almost too deep. and it’s fucking annoying, because how are you meant to stay mad when you barely have the consciousness to do so?

“well— nothin’s every fuckin’ good enough for you, but you don’t see me complaining ‘bout that…”

rafe murmurs over your parted lips, swallowing up the strained whimper that falls from them when the fat head of his cock kisses up on your cervix. the grin that tugs at the corner of his mouth is wild now that he’s clearly pacified you and fucked the last bit of frustration right out of you— “so just be a good girl and lemme take care of this bratty cunt.”

i will bite my own tongue before i tell you i love you, but when i walk through the trees in my neighborhood they whisper your name and when i lay my head down on the pillow at night it echoes your heartbeat instead of mine.
