Tens but... Tag game

Was tagged by @pashminabitch on my main, but wanted to do the tag game here, cause it's where I keep my drama stuff. Thank you for the tag, I had a lot of fun with this! 😁

I really wanna do this with my favorite chaos drama The Last Empress, so that's what I'll do, even though it's an old drama by now.

_____

They are a ten but....

Oh Sunny: no but here, she's an absolute ten for me and I love and adore this character

Na Wang-sik / Chun Woo-bin: he's selfish and is willing to do pretty much anything for revenge, and on my second watch I liked him a lot less than on my first watch (I get it though)

Emperor Lee Hyuk: he's actually unhinged in every way, has roaring mommy issues on top of his hero complex where he really thinks he can be the good guy

Min Yoo-ra: she's just a straight-up bitch, but I kinda respect her for it

Empress Dowager Kang: completely delusional and actually insane

Crown Prince Lee Yoon: no but, he's a good boy though maybe a little bit boring - but being the only sane member of his family, I get it

Oh Hel-ro: but nothing, she's an absolute queen and I will bow at her feet

Princess So-jin: she's a product of her insane family and therefore is a spoiled brat with major trauma she doesn't know how to deal with

Seo Kang-hee: she's a scorn woman out for revenge, and she fits perfectly with the rest of the insanity in the palace

Ah-ri: but absolutely nothing, she's an angel and has to be protected at all costs (ignore the spoiled brat at first it's not her fault I promise)

I tag: @yasmini24 @mel-loves-kdramas @neuer-fruehling if you want to of course 😊

"Eddie, babe, you've seen this movie like seven times already." Steve whispers, rubbing his hand down Eddie's back as it hitches with sobs. "You know the horse comes back."

"N...Not this horse. That's a new horse. A new idea." His shoulders shake as he fights the build up of grief. "It's just *sniff* Bastian is a new reader, making a new story, making n-new w-wishes. This Artax dies."

Oh.

Oh.

Steve gets it, finally. Wonders just how long he's been missing the point here.

Because Eddie died. They got him back. But he'll never be the Eddie he was before. He's different now. It wasn't the Swamp of Sadness but it got him all the same. Maybe worse because he died full of hope and heroism. He died fighting. And when they got him back, they were still fighting. The story had continued without him.

Shifting them on the couch so they're face to face, Steve tucks Eddie's curls behind his ear, watches his face as he tries to calm his breathing, rubs Eddie's tears with his thumbs.

"If I got to wish the whole world into existence, you are the first thing I would wish for." Steve tells him, chest aching with weight of all the love he's been building up for Eddie since he'd taken his second first breath. "You. Every version of you is this one because you wouldn't be you without all the things you've learned along the way. Even death."

Fresh tears spill from Eddie's dark eyes and when he closes them against the honesty, eyelashes shadowing his pale cheeks, he shudders, "Promise?"

"A grain of sand. Just like in the Empress's hand. I promise on that grain of sand, you, and all the versions of you yet to come, are what I would wish for. Promise."

Steve tucks Eddie in close, holds him while he trembles through the last of his grief. Silently thanking The NeverEnding Story for showing them that there is hope after grief. Even if it starts with just a grain of sand.
