#the angst the pining the yearning LOOK AT THEM! I AM UNDONE

Shadow and Bone s02e03: “No one's ever smart enough to look for the real one.”

Translation: She’s his strength, his weakness, and everything in between. She’s the only one capable of getting through his armor. She’s his light through the darkness. His savior. His support system. He loves her and he would die for her. She’s the real one.

okay so. i am in pain and it’s all pearls fault. (ps sorry i’m reblogging again pearl 🥴)

It was picture-perfect, like nothing could go wrong. Or if it had, the beauty of it all might've shone bright enough to drown everyone's sorrows.

SCREAM pearl why is this line so GOOD SHUT UP

When he wasn't tending to the garden he bothered keeping, he was working at the shop on the dock; unloading crates from ships, and setting them in trucks that rode to different businesses around town.

the mental image of gwil as a longshoreman could make me SCREAM my chest factually hurts

If this was a cruel trick, Gwilym decided he'd willingly pay the price, for her.

sir pls fall in love with me PLS

He pursed his smile and turned his eyes toward the water and you started to wonder if he'd had more than just a bad day.

i love one (1) surly man

Dean knew a lot, but neither of them had spoken a word about what happened since the start of the year.

dean knows a lot but ellie knows NOTHING AND I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING

He hurried away and wished he didn't have too.

he’s so lonely i just wanna give him a HUG

You never had much interest in his flirting, but his acquaintance had proven to be harmless and sometimes the most entertaining part of your afternoon.

i do not care for this man at ALL

You thought much of him, Mr Lee.

RELATABLE. also listen.....maybe i’m a hopeless romantic but i would have fallen in love with this man IMMEDIATELY. a boat ride with a tall, mysterious british man? i’m fucked, sorry

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" She spat, stalling in front of you, red with anger.

excuse u??? i will not be spoken to that way THANK YOU

"Got time for a really long story?"

the way pearl genuinely has me ANXIOUS we stan an effective writer

Gwilym may not have started the fire, but he drove my sister mad enough to. It was his careless treatment of her that drove my sister away. He killed her in the end, and we won't let him forget it.

listen.....i know that this woman has lost her sister but that’s just not TRUE

"I quit." She seethed, breathing hard as she pierced her eyes right into yours.

girl ur general existence does not sit right with me at ALL

"I used to. He stopped letting me over. Stopped answering calls."

god that’s so SAD PEARL

Gwilym waved Dean along, as the trio headed toward the shop, while the party raged on.

i cannot lie, i am obsessed with this lil trio 🥺

He was close enough for you to recognise he smelled of something sweeter than pine, and was taller than you realized.

DYING I am DYING over the idea of him taking care of me

You decided to leave him be, and stop from searching him out. And while you made yourself promise to keep your distance, you hoped that he’d miss your interactions enough to show up and ask why they’d stopped.

pearl why are u fully breaking my heart rn

“Can’t we talk?” He seemed to beg.

TALK TO THE MAN HE LOVES U

There were bushes and vines and flowers of all kinds, bright in the cold blue evening.

a lonely lil plant dad who I love

So you headed for home, but made sure to look over your shoulder before you’d gone too far.

THE LOOK BACK THEY ARE IN LOVE

He wanted to kiss her.

hey bud we ALSO want that

How he’d missed her long before she was gone for good.

god he is TRAGIC i am obsessed with his angst

When Gwilym appeared in the archway of the parlour, you were unusually caught off guard by his appearance. There was a beard starting to decorate his sharp jaw, and the first few buttons of the white shirt he wore were undone.

OH?? THE LACK OF MODESTY AND ASTOUNDING AND MOST PLEASANT

But instead, you lunged from your perch on the sofa and kissed Gwilym.

You felt the resonance of his voice as he spoke, and relished the warmth of the sweater he’d changed into. You recalled the feeling of his lips moving against yours, and hope this was the first of many nights like this one.

i will yearn over this very simple thought for the rest of my life, it actually hurts i am in PAIN

You couldn’t even be sure if you were kissing him back with the proper gusto, you just held on and hoped he was alright with the fact you didn’t plan on ever letting go.

PEARL YOU ARE KILLING ME RN I AM DYING

final thoughts: um no thoughts. only gwil. he is everything i want and so much more. pearl, you will never not kill me with every single word you write and truly bow down to you

From The Shadows

summary: Gwilym is full of secrets. People in town seem to know them all. You’ve got to decided who, and what to believe.

a/n: Once upon a time, I fell asleep in the middle of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds, promptly dreamed this whole thing up, and then told @brianmays-hair​ I’d write it for her birthday. Better late than never, aye? So here… whatever this is, is! Suspend your disbelief and try to enjoy this actual 1950’s fever dream? (I truly cannot believe I’ve done this)

He didn’t want for it to happen… the accident. Of course he didn’t. But he did think moving here would be safe. Gwilym soon realized no place was safe. So he settled, and he lived with a thousand regrets, and he stopped dreaming anything would ever change.

You couldn’t think up one good reason to say no.

Your aunt was an elusive Hollywood costume designer, who rarely showed up for the holidays. But when she passed on, she left her home to you. With your sister long married and moved away, and you parents happily retired, there was nothing stopping you from packing up and heading out.
