{*As it were*}

deborah ann woll. fem. bi. — CONSTANCE LANGDON from ( american horror story ) is streaming live ! they’re twenty five y/o & an aspiring actress ; they arrived ( two months ) ago, & they ( do not ) remember their old life. fans say they’re [ INDEPENDENT + CONFIDENT ] but [ HEADSTRONG + REBELLIOUS ] & associate them w/ cigarettes, old hollywood movies, backhanded compliments, the tick tock of a timer. . ( lu, look at me go, another muse to ruin.) 

he had been called worse, probably been called worse today when he wasn’t around. ronan didn’t have a problem with it though. he could deal with it. his rough exterior wasn’t just a shell that he hid behind. it went a little deeper. the walls he’d built around himself didn’t break down for anything, and certainly not at negative reactions to his moody behavior.

“did i?” there was a scowl on his face. he would have been ready to fight, had it not be a woman in front of him. he had some morals. “again, maybe you should have watched where you were going. you shouldn’t have been in the way. at least ‘m being nice about it. most people wouldn’t have said shit.”

Jessie watches his expression, just another self absorbed male. How she loathed them.  A roll of her brown hues, even with the loud music, the blonde heard all the words coming from his mouth. Annoyance started to boil in her veins, making her hands turn to fists. The alcohol seemed to be evaporating from her, which didn’t help her mood.

—  he wasn’t much of a people person. he never had been, and he never would be. a part of ronan thought it better to avoid places like this. there was almost a promise of interacting with others. he was a loner for a reason. ( mostly because his social skills left much to desire. he didn’t like sharing anything, or opening up to anybody. ) of course, alcohol was alcohol and something inside of ronan made him feel like he needed to drink. there might be more issues to contend with if he were to fall asleep tonight, but that was a problem for future ronan to deal with.

— as he fought his way throughout the crowd of people, ronan’s shoulder brushed against someone’s. he didn’t want to apologize. it would be a waste of time. as if the girl would recognize it if he left without a word. and yet – “sorry.” and then “you need to watch where the fuck you’re going.”

As the blond danced, men would whisper in her ear. Trying to get a closer to her, without thinking Jessie would pull them away (pushed them violently was more like it, but she couldn’t really measure her strength right now). She never really missed this part of going on, people trying to get too close and her naver wanting anything to do with them. She wanted to self destruct a l o n e, was that too much to ask?

Marlene Mckinnon

   it’s nearly impossible for him not to notice the curiosity burning in her eyes. when you rise from the dead, you have many questions—he knows from first hand experience. he’s silently grateful that she doesn’t think it the time to ask any of them. there was so much to talk about and a dingy bus wasn’t the ideal place to do it. then again, there wasn’t anywhere in the world where he wanted to recount the deaths of lily and james potter to someone.

     instead of offering up any despairing news, sirius opts for something more exciting for him to think about. something he learned once city hall had taken him, ❝ moony’s got a kid now. and harry’s got three of them, if you can believe— ❞ he chuckles softly. he found great comfort in knowing that remus was not doomed to the fate he always swore he’d find ; that he got a family of his own. sirius doesn’t know that he was ripped from his son in the war, or that teddy lupin was his first cousin, twice removed.

    sirius’ eyes affectionately roll at marlene’s response. ❝ that’ll teach me to be sentimental with you ever again, ❞ he snorts. though he’s relieved to not have to drag on an unbearably hard moment. ❝ actually, i reckon my life knew some peace without you in the picture. i finally stopped being interrupted and annoyed all the bloody time, ❞ he muses through half a grin. he knows better than to take her words for face value.

   ❝ though i see now that times are tougher for you now more than ever, ❞ he sighs dramatically. brown eyes trail their surroundings before offering marlene a feigned look of pity ; a smirk remains on the horizon of his expression as he continues, ❝ riding the bus. ❞

His words settle, remus has a kid? Memories flud her brain. Remus and Marlene in the common room, everyone had gone to bed and the brunette was healing some wounds. The night before had been a full moon, it was their seventh year, she knew everything the marauders got up to by then. Brown hues had watched as he stumbled a bit, with a stern voice she let the other leave, not Remus. That night the lean boy, would tell her his plans for the future. How he was doomed and no kids were in the future for him, such a surprising thing to say to her. A quick joke about divination and they were both laughing. Those were darker times, the thought of a future was on the least of their minds.

❝ Remus with kids? He is going to be great father you know. ❞ A small glint in her eyes appear, the war had made them all closer. Remus felt almost like an extension of her brothers, knowing he had happiness calmed her. This is what she had wanted, peace for people she loved.  ❝ Harry’s got kids? You met them? ❞ Surprise is evident on her voice, he was just a  b a b y the last she had seen him.

His snorts bring another playful glint in her eyes.  ❝ Oh I can be very sentimental. ❞ The words linger and she hadn’t meant them to have double meaning, but she will not back down from them. Things had been left unsaid between them from her sudden death. It surprised her that she could even remember all of it. The late nights with sirius, with lily, with everyone.

D r e a d. Filled Jessie everywhere, just for a fraction of seconds. It was enough, enough for her to stop daing for a second. Though the liquids flowing through her veins, seemed to take over and her hips started to move onces more. The brown eyes girl should not be here, she had promised to stay away from this world. Classes were fine, work was fine, but the need to stop the routine had gotten to her. One drink and not one more ,words she would repeat in her mind as she made her way into the over packed club. 

Veritaserum | Accepting

 tonks hums in amused agreement, ❝ a pretty pair, you might call us. ❞ her eyes playfully roll at her own choice of words, though she’s physically incapable of not saying them. ❝ make no mistake, i’m only here for the free food, ❞ tonks assures sarcastically, reaching for another cookie. ❝ give me a second, i’ll find a way to make another joke about balls.

katherine was so fucking hungry. to the point of pain ; crippling, unbearable pain. and she was well passed the point of being patient. so when she spots two lonely individuals out jogging a long way from the campground a grin stretches across her features. can you say the words:perfect opportunity ?

she lurks in the shadows up ahead. concealed behind a tree, she waits for one of them to get close enough. when the moment strikes, katherine appears and trips the companion who had joined marlene. he topples to the ground with a hard thud, groaning in pain as the vampire stands over him — one high heel stiletto resting on his back. she hasn’t even broken a sweat.

“just keep on running, little witch,” katherine advises marlene. her perfect curls spill onto her shoulders as she turns her head in her direction. “or don’t. i really do love the thrill of an audience. either way, this is going to get very messy.”

While jogging, marlene paid no attention to the one that had come to jog next to her. To her distaste he had tried to make small talk, which she purposely tried and failed at letting ti fall flat. She had not met some one who talked so much. Marlene tried to not be bitchy but it was hard, the whole point she had started to run was to get away from people, not to have company. 

Something was off and she could feel it. The woods stopped looking calm but started t o look sinister. This didn’t scare her, but she could sense the one beside her get a bit uncomfortable with the silence she had so rudely required. It happens suddenly and brown hues stare at the one on the ground and their new companion. 

SHE TOSSES POPCORN at the other with a giggly smile,     rolling her eyes at the name.     ‘    would an ass come at the slightest inconvenient notice,     hmmmm ?     ’     the goofy brunette wiggles her brows.     ‘     hey,     you okay ?    your body’s here but your head is stuck on mars.     ’
