Rose’s Kiss Week Day 3: Focus

OCs: Marcus Asalun (aka Anchesh Pabat) and Pali Ores-Pabat

Words: 309

Content warnings: none

Notes: Anchesh and Pali have been married for a few months. She's a shifter, so she looks fully human.

“Hey,” Anchesh said as he cracked the door with his shoulder. “I brought you a smoothie.”

“Did you make me a smoothie?” Pali answered, and he took that as an invitation to come in.

“No, but Klia would have done better at it anyway. They put actual protein in here.” He circled around to put the glass down in the only open space on her desk.

“Protein powder or nut butter?” she said without looking away from her tablet.

“Nut butter. I don’t remember which one though.”

“Mm.”

He hadn’t come into her room expecting to chat, but it was clear she wasn’t about to pause her research at all. “Well, I’ll leave you to it.” He kissed the top of her head and stepped toward the door.

“Wait, no, Anchesh—” She snagged his elbow and pulled him back to kiss him on the lips, her other hand wrapping around the back of his neck. For a brief moment, it felt like he was the focus of all her attention. Then she settled back into her chair, letting him straighten up, her hand slipping from the back of his neck to his collarbone. Her smile was soft. “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be.” He brushed his knuckles across her cheek, returning her smile. “But do drink your smoothie.”

She turned, picked up the smoothie with both hands, and looked right at him while she took a big enough gulp from the straw that the level fell in the glass. “You’re right, that is really good.” She took another sip of it. “I’ll drink it, you don’t have to supervise me.”

“I’m not supervising,” he said, and he went to the door as though to prove his point. “Let me know if you want anything else.”

“I will,” she said. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” he answered, and shut her door behind him.

Ya'll ever stop to think about this piece of dialogue in Human Nature when Ten is going to use the Chameleon Arch:

DOCTOR: That's why I've got to do it. I have to stop being a Time Lord. I'm going to become human. Never thought I'd use this. All the times I've wondered.

Like, imagine him sitting in the console room staring at it while Rose is sleeping just wondering what it would be like to become human, being tempted, wishing for the one adventure he can never have.

And this being in a two-parter where we have these lines "That's all I want to be. John Smith, with his life, and his job, and his love. Why can't I be John Smith?" That to me seems more like Ten seeping through in the way he did through John's dreams...

Anyways. Just hitting me real hard today 🥹

Day 7: Dorks

You give me the kind of kisses that makes me melt

[tequiilasunriise]

Okay let me cook‼️‼️

Her gloves are clearly flat against her hand, no doubt about it.

But look how different her hand gear is in her concept art, the one where her hands are purposely obscured by her weapon- which never happens in concept arts they show us- as if to hide the significance of what she’s wearing on her hands. Summer is VERY CLEARLY wearing some typa metal armor, almost like….

…she was wearing some pieces of red, metallic, sharp-shaped, skeletal armor. Almost like one last gift, one last bit of protection right before a mission gone wrong, one last “I know I left, but I still love you” right before the rose bloomed for the final time.

the way all of ten's companions leave the doctor in journey's end thinking he's going to be more than fine because he's got his best friend with him and they've all got that just-saved-the-world glow only for ten to look like that when rose kisses tentoo when just before (in a deleted scene) donna had assured rose that she would be there to keep the doctor company while the doctor is already anticipating that he's going to have to wipe donna's memory?? oh idk what rtd was feeding us to make us go this feral because he sure as hell wasn't feeding us happy fucking endings

OC Kiss Week: Day 4

Manor de Sorrez. Spring, 1213.

Despite the consequences awaiting them, a terrible wrong has been righted in the eyes of Lady Thalia de Sorrez. Now the biggest question on her mind is how to deal with the familiar knight with a stranger's face.

Thalia/Tulio belongs to @mountainashfae! I've been super excited for this one all week, I hope you enjoy :3

At first, the Lord of the manor was confused. “What do you mean he hasn’t returned?” The question was posed to his servants when he was informed that his knight was nowhere to be found. He had been sent on a simple delivery hours prior, the ghoul should have returned long ago. “Clearly you simply did not check everywhere he could be. Check everywhere, the gardens, the Guard captain’s quarters, failure will not be tolerated. I need to speak with him.” As the hours passed and sunlight began to peek over the horizon, Tulio’s confusion turned to worry upon hearing from numerous sources that they never were seen returning to the estate and they were nowhere to be seen.

Nights passed, and there was no sign of the ghoul. His delivery had arrived that very same night, and the shop keep remembered seeing the knight but not where he had gone afterward. Every possible lead went to a dead end, and to say the Lord was distraught was an understatement, though he did not allow it to show. It was almost as if their knight had disappeared without a trace. There were those in the early nights who suggested that the ghoul could have run away, but the noble considered such words slander against their knight and themselves, which was dutifully punished. He knew better, something must have happened to their most devoted servant.

Only after the Lady’s sire insisted on her resting from the search after an entire month had passed did they begin to relent. There was no way that her knight had survived this long, especially without being fed by now. Antonio may have been correct but that did not stop her from holding out hope and praying for their safe return, even if she wasn’t sure what kind of merciful God would take their knight from them so suddenly. There never was an answer and eventually she simply had to move on with her unlife, with or without him.

It had been three years since the night her most trusted ghoul went missing. Thalia stared across the room at the figure knelt by the door, unease permeating the silence. It was so different to what she remembered of them. Short chestnut hair replaced with ash brown locks far down their back. The marks and scars that adorned their skin were no longer there, replaced by one notably recognizable scar down the center of their face. Their physique had even changed but Thalia could still recognize the knight despite the years having changed so much. The voice she had only heard cry and sob after the Elysium, it was the same as it always had been. Those eyes as well, beautiful brown eyes that once matched the knight’s hair.

“Come to us, childe. We wish to take a look at you.” Thalia straightened her back as she watched the figure walk forward with tender steps. The childe’s eyes did not leave the floor as they approached, only daring to glance upward towards the Lady once they stood before her. There was no doubt in Thalia’s mind and heart, her knight had finally been returned to her, clan Toreador be damned. She took her time examining them, taking in the differences, wondering what exactly had happened to her ghoul in those three years. Though she yearned for the answers, they were in no shape to answer. Her hands rested on their cheeks, rubbing away at the dried blood stained there from tears. “My knight… My dearest-” Thalia was cut off before she could truly address them, taking her by surprise.

The knight spoke for the first time since Elysium, a tremble in their voice. “Please, milady. Do not refer to me by that name I once held. If you are merciful, I will never hear that word cross your lips again.” Thalia gave a solemn nod, pulling the once proud knight into her arms and holding them close to her. A request from them was rare, and one so earnest she could not help but oblige.

“If that is all you ask of us, then we will never speak that name again.” Her fingers began trailing through their hair, shushing and soothing the former ghoul for as long as it took her to choke down her own emotions. She peppered kisses into their hair and tilted their head up once more to take a better look. The night had been a whirlwind for both of them, and Thalia had a feeling it would take both of them quite some time to adjust to what would be their new normal. That was alright with her, they had all of eternity for it, after all. “We thought we had lost you, mi corazon.” Thalia left one final kiss on the forehead of her knight before clearing her throat and pulling away from them. She stared down at them as they stepped back, bowing their head in reverence of their Lady. “Consider this an order, my knight. You are to stay with us, until final death. We will not accept anything less.”
