italic  for things that sometimes apply, bold for things that always apply and  strike out what never applies.  DO NOT REBLOG ; COPY AND PASTE ON A NEW

carmilla.   giant featherbeds.  tightening a corset.  moonlit walks.   killing for love.   cruelty for the sake of love.     love is always selfish.   romantic tragedy.   love to the brink of destruction.   nighttime rendezvous.   bloody kisses on soft skin.   death was the maiden.   a very strange agony.   claimed by the supernatural.   dreaming about your lover.    sympathy for the devil.  loving me to death.    candlesticks lighting up the palm of your hand.   a passion that wearies you.  killing the one you love.

phantom of the opera.   a single red rose laid out to be found.  sensual voices singing them to sleep. a familiar shadow attending every recital. love waits on the rooftop in the night.  two soulmates holding hands.   walking down long corridors.  retrieving something lost.  devoting one’s craft to them.   making them your muse.  the horror was for love.   painted faces on parade.  gentle touches in the dark.   revealing your darkest secrets.   beauty and the beast.  writing messages on the mirror.  kindness conquers all.  letting your lover go.  love never dies.

jane eyre.   loving the escape.  an impassioned affair.  being consumed by love. meeting your soulmate. lace and silk.   thirsting for the perfect romance.   marrying for passion.   losing yourself in the face of your lover. wedding veils and bouquets of pink roses.   maddened by love. finding warmth in the cold.   calling out for your love.  starting at the bottom. the fire cleanses all. hiding your passion. your love will destroy me / my love with destroy you

the picture of dorian gray.   painting a portrait or sketching the face of someone you love. meeting in secret. visions of your lover dying.  clutching a lovers clothes to your chest.    love so consuming you kill them.   protecting their innocence at all costs.   betrayal.  polyamory.   devotion.   flowers for the one you love.   remembering the name of your first love. jealousy when you see them with someone else.  love so consuming you die for it. visiting the the place where you saw them the first time.  

the count of monte cristo.  letters to your lover. marrying for love.   these bars can’t keep me from you.  motivated by love.   an avenging angel.   scorching jealousy.  love reborn. devoted to memory.  it was all for you. going your separate ways. commit murder for me. an unstoppable hunger.   death comes for us all.   the strongest love eventually grows apart.

dracula.   the holiest love.  girls love wolves.  the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.   violence is passion.    red lips, sharp teeth.   love letters in a diary. unrelenting support.   getting lost in the woods.   coming home to you.   walking backwards into hell. vengeance for my love.  even death won’t stop me.  we can live forever. love is an open wound.  too much love to give.   bestowing your favor.   a never-ending thirst.   beauty even in death.   ravenous desire. if only death had a heart to give.   a mercy killing.   these violent delights have violent ends.  

frankenstein. childhood friends to lovers.   they were something out of a dream. arranged marriages. learning to love.   was it all really worth it?   our guilt can know no bounds.  vengeance, my love.   dismembered body parts.   my beating heart in your open palm.   your death destroys me.   adam and eve.   crossing the mountains.   an antagonist in mourning.   paradise lost.  the loss of innocence.   abandoning your dream.   the tempest on the horizon. humans are the real monsters. my love is wiser than my hate.

      '   quite  an  interesting  trick ,   that .  '    flippant  tone  is  belied  by  the  glint  of  interest  in  their  golden  eyes .   chin  propped  on  one  graceful  hand ,   rhys  smiles  in  a  way   that  might  seem  nearly  fond .   '  i  have  some  of  my  own ,  you  know .   nothing  so  impressive  as  prophecy ,  though .  '    they  present  their  free  hand ,  and  open  their  fingers .  a  small  flame ,  orange  and  flickering ,  bursts  into  existence  above  their  palm .

        TO  SAY  THAT  THEY  ARE  UNUSED  to  such  true  tenderness  would  not  be  a  lie .   they  find  moments  of  it ,  of  course ,  in  the  beds  of  strangers  or  in  that  of  their  benefactor ,  but  they  hardly  expected  it  from  her .   they  have  exchanged  formal  kisses  before ,  of  course ,  on  knuckles  at  parties ,  but  this  is  no  party .   in  a  secluded  hallway  of  their  father’s  estate ,   showing  her  a  gentle  unseen  side  of  them  that  is  far  less  a  calculated  manipulation  than  it  should  be .   but  who  could  blame  them  for  wanting  her ?   who  could  not  want  her  themselves ?   rhys  is  many  things ,  but  they  are  not  blind ,  and  they  are  not  a  fool .

      élise  had  begun  innocently  enough ,  a  brush  of  her  lips  against  their  knuckles ,  the  same  as  a  thousand  times  before — but  then  she  turns  their  hand  over  and  lifts  their  wrist  to  her  mouth ,  kissing  them  on  the  soft  skin  there  as  she  makes  unfaltering  eye  contact  with  them .   so  often  the  pursuer ,  rhys’s  breath  hitches  and  they  grin  easily  at  her .   ‘  dame  clérisseau ,  ’   they  tease ,   ‘  do  you  think  nothing  of  my  honor ?  ’   as  if  they  have  any  LEFT .

ok quick dragon age verse rhys stuff

      their family is from ostwick originally. their mom was a non-mage child born to a high-ranking tevinter family (an altus? who knows! not me :)), which is why they married her to llewelyn ab owain glyndwr (aka rhys’s Shitty Dad). this was largely regarded as a Bad Move, and after a few kids llewelyn picked up the entire family and they relocated to orlais, where he’d recently inherited an estate from a distant cousin anyway

      rhys was born in orlais; they speak common with an accent (it’s real-world equivalent would be irish), but they’re also fluent in orlesian & tevene, and have a working knowledge of antivan. rumors swirled around their birth that they were a bastard, so neither their father nor their older siblings ever treated them well. they were often One Bad Behavior away from getting stuck in the chantry. consequently, when their magic manifested (they were nearly 13) they hid it so they wouldn’t be sent to the circle. the only reason they didn’t want to go to a circle, other than Obvious Reasons, was because they’d have to leave their younger sister nerys.

      when they were nineteen, they became a bard. their benefactor is another orlesian noble, also a Secret Apostate, who agreed to not only sponsor rhys but also personally train them when he realized they were a mage. when they were newly twenty-two, their oldest brother’s wife whispered to them at a dinner party that she knew their secret, and that she was going to tell their father and make sure they never saw any inheritance. with prompting from their benefactor, rhys magically set fire to their brother’s wing of the chateau, killing his wife and son, and pinned the arson on a maid.

     they’re now twenty-three, and a few months ago they got drunk at a dinner party their father was throwing and made one too many snide comments about their brother’s losses. their father exiled them as punishment, and as a result they offer their services to the inquisition. they support getting rid of the circles, have a unique version of the bard specialization that utilizes magic as well, and their personal quest probably involves disentangling them from their benefactor, whom they are in love with. despite this, you can romance them (and should. they’re sexy).
