WHAT WEARINESS BURIED ITSELF IN HIS BONES, was far more ancient, far more reluctant and stubborn than what she might initially believe. wounds are one thing, scars are another. but there is another breed of sorrow, of absolute exhaustion. a tiredness which soaks him out from under year after year, century after century. he does not speak of it and perhaps he never will, time rolls onward, it withers like sand between his fingers and he stays silent a moment longer.
her touches are coddling as are her words. in another time he would have been far more bitter, far more cruel, he still is in his own manner. cruelty laces and lathers across his soul like a warp and weft, though he knows how to tend to it better than most. astarion permits her nursing for all that it is and isn’t, gaze falling across her cheek until he lets out another scoff.
❝ ha ! far from it. i simply know my own limitations, and a fumbling oaf with a sword is of no concern to me. ❞ teeth glisten in the fire - light where he carries on. still, something pulls beneath his flesh, his muscles, his very bones. uneasiness ? uncertainty ? tender things are never meant to last, this is why daisies wither so very quickly. they — like most things — are always destined to die.
❝ well when you have spent years dwelling in the shadows, trying to draw as much attention away from your person as i have … maybe all this fuss is a pleasant surprise. maybe. ❞
a flash of fangs. he grins, almost as content as a great long cat.
𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐮𝐠𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐦 , 𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞 . for all of his languid appearance , his sleep is often fitful and his face is often tired . edda hopes every night that it will be different , but some things are simply too deep to change . it is painful knowing a friend has suffered and that the cure for it lies out of reach .
“ you’ve more than earned a measure of coddling , petal , ” edda says , lowering her voice and turning away from their companions . she needs a moment to herself every now and again . astarion has never counted among those from whom she would like a break .
instead , her finger follows the soft lines where his palm ends and his delicate fingers begin . for someone so ancient , he is not as frail as one may believe . the infinite mercy and kindness of his heart is apparent every second that he does not crush her windpipe in his powerful grip .
“ would you like me to read your palm , dear ? a woman in my village used to do so for a silver piece . i think i remember what the lines mean , but i shan’t charge for it . ”
y’all wanna know some shit yda does that’s kinda cringe but also kinda sexy???
❥ @saintmarlboro --- 𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 . ↳ 𝑦𝑑𝑎 .
𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 , not taking into account how busted his ribs might feel . she’s lucky he’s out , she supposes , because she has a headache and isn’t sure if whimpering would be better than quips . maybe both were just terrible .
but she tugs the blanket down and does her best not to wake him . but pulling up the medical tape is always the hardest part , as is trying not to mess too badly with the wounds . bullets found their mark in him , she feels a twist of pity in her gut .
yeah , probably best he’s not up . new guys never know what to make of the nurse with the fucked - up face .
that is , until her eyes flit over to his . and yda gives a little jolt before hazarding a smile .
“ i would’ve said hello , but i thought you were asleep . ” she says . “ you should try to get back to it soon as you can , once your morphine shot wears off , i shan’t be allowed to give you any more . ”
“I promise I’ll be good.”
❥ @speedjunkie --- 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞 . ↳ 𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑢 .
“ 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐫 . ” she informs him with a little smile on her face . he looks a sight with his knees spread , bound and beautiful on the floor . she leans in , hazarding a soft touch over the head of his cock . “ is that what good boys do ? ”
tataru presses her soft , pink lips to roche’s and revels in his desperation . he whines , hips rocking against her hand . so she pulls away with a sharp giggle .
“ i will believe you’ll behave when i see such a rarity . ” she grins , resting her retracted arm on the sofa’s armrest .
he’s perfect . he’s beautiful . the soft blush on his cheeks has moved down to his neck , a sight that would usually lead her to pause and make certain he was all right . but she’s checked already and his permission glowed green .
“ turn around , petal , ” she says . “ and you can show me that you’re truly serious , instead of simply saying so . ”

❝ wild birds die in cages. ❞ for edda!
❥ @palevein --- 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐞 . ↳ 𝑒𝑑𝑑𝑎 .
𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐞'𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 ? his eyes are red , made of water and something else’s blood . edda feels cold , too . her hands are the colour of skimmed milk , white - blue and holding fast to his . astarion knows he’s dying every second that he stays . he must .
and he too must know that he is already dead .
“ and you are wild , my friend . ” she gives him a shaky smile , wishing she did not have more experience than him with freedom despite his age . “ you deserve to be unbound . please , let me help you . ”
is she hurting him ? she hopes not , but her grip will not loosen . the fight in him is almost gone , she has to hope he’ll light it himself if it goes out before he can run away with her .
“ come with me . ” she sighs . “ come with me and i’ll protect you . you never have to see him again . ”
goroni --- 𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐢𝐦𝐚 .
the hammer against molten steel, harsh and blunt and honing. majima has only known the tempering force and scraping against his person, whittling him away to the finest point. a coal crushed and turned to a diamond. there’s an endless list of metaphors of poetry to wax but the reality is much more dim. torture, a knife to the eye, needles and branding and excruciating pain over and over and over and over and —— taking a deep breath, majima rewinds. this is not a pity party. majima would not be the host. rather takes that anger so entrenched in who he is and expels it through the length of his bat, the sharp edge of his knife, the force of his fists and elbows and his body.
❛❛ some of us do not get to be anything but tough, ❜❜ his voice is firm, sure of itself and the conviction brought forth. because it’s true. his childhood, his teenage years, his adulthood. all of them were exhausting, excruciating in their own ways, and majima could be nothing but tough. could do nothing as he watched the life drain from mother dearest, could do nothing but watch as his eye was deflated like a balloon, could do nothing as his sworn brother left thinking majima had abandoned him. ❛❛ but some of us are tough ‘cuz others were never made to be. would be dead if they were us, yeah? so we are. we have to be. doesn’t mean we ‘gotta be all the time, though. ❜❜
𝐲𝐝𝐚 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐮𝐠 , 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐟𝐮𝐥 . people don’t trust a girl in a mask , they’re the ones with knives behind their backs .
she prefers to go unarmed .
but he doesn’t ask , perhaps because of his own secrets . he just shrugs and goes back to bottling the bad feelings . for one rumoured to be unhinged , he has so much control over his emotions . enough to appear erratic when he chooses . yda offers up a small smile as the consolation prize for the sad truth .
“ i have a little sister , ” she confesses , looking distant and sounding nostalgic at even the mention of lyse . “ i think she could be terribly tough if the need required , but i must do my best to make sure it never is . ”
she sits back , tiring so easily of her lapse in sunny persona . yda didn’t think it possible to wear two masks at once , but both of them manage it . “ who do you fight to protect , hm ? tell me all about them , i’m certain they’re lovely !! ”
all my girls peg bc they’re not cowards.
❝ hush, you mad thing. ❞ - for x'rhun tia !!
❥ @ancsthctist --- 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐞 . ↳ 𝑥'𝑟𝘩𝑢𝑛
𝐡𝐞'𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 , 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝 . not since his brothers and sisters in red sat around him , several long years ago . but x’rhun is startled by the sound of his own joy , a response to rham’s joke that sends him reeling .
it’s foreign to be this happy , as much as he trusts in the sensation .
“ forgive me , ” he covers his mouth with his hand , trying to stifle the noise . it won’t do to draw goblins from their homes around idyllshire with his racket . he’s having such a wonderful time , one that he would rather not spoil . “ you can be very entertaining . ”
the stars look separate from the ink - black , quite different from how they usually do . he used to feel so alone staring up at the sky , wondering if he was meant to gaze alone .
he moves his hand slightly to the left . his fingers brush over rham’ir’s
“make me.” umm
❥ @tyranted --- 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞 . ↳ 𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑑𝑖𝑒 .
𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐨'𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 . not that it’s much of one . pagan looks like his namesake , half - sneer and half - smirk in his tired eyes on the other side of the sofa .
elodie takes a sip of her champagne , giving a fuzzy hum as if caught in an internal debate . she’d never truly debate fucking him , of course . she would have to be truly stupid .
“ must you be such a challenge , pet ? ” she asks . her eyes are a little bleary , too . and she tilts her head as if to beckon him a second time . “ your pride is something of a hinderance where sex is involved . ”
but she smiles , draining her glass and shifting onto her back . propped up on the armrest , she lounges like a venus of some fucking city and throws an arm across her face .
her legs part just a fraction , perhaps unintentionally .
“ i don’t think i shall make you do a thing , pagan . ” she sighs . “ for i know how desperate can be where cock is involved . and you’ve yet to fuck your own staff . which means i can claim exclusive rights to your unmentionables , i need only wait for you to realize it . ”
she licks her lips , still not looking . she doesn’t need to . “ everyone loves a conquest , darling . but how long will it take for you to understand you are my conquest already ? ”

elodie lanoue — endless fc edits . ↳ marrow made a wife of eve but no one gave up a rib for me .
heads up re; tataru: i absolutely do not want to discuss nsfw with her outside of her final fantasy 7 au where she’s a human woman oh my god
the bear and the nightingale sentence starters.
quotes taken from katherine arden’s first book in the winternight trilogy, which i highly recommend if you loved deathless. feel free to combine, change pronouns, live your life, etc. sometimes i exchange “you” for “her” to make it more direct. i did edit a couple of these to make them more meme friendly. enjoy!!
❝ perhaps he desires death. if so, i can help him. ❞ ❝ there was something feral about you. ❞ ❝ you look like a wild thing new-caught and just barely groomed into submission.❞ ❝ we have never needed saving before. ❞ ❝ the first sign is fear. the second is always fire. your people are afraid, now the fires burn. ❞ ❝ you are not afraid. ❞ ❝ she does not fear God, she fears nothing. ❞ ❝ but leave me alone, or next time one of them comes for you, i shall not lift a finger to stop it.❞ ❝ did i not rob you of your quick ascent to heaven? ❞ ❝ suddenly she understood why the women all begged him for prayers. ❞ ❝ she understood that his warm hand, the strong bones of his face, were a weapon, to use where the weapons of speech had failed. ❞ ❝ he would get her obedience thus, with his rough hand, his beautiful eyes. ❞ ❝ she had a wild thing’s heedless grace. ❞ ❝ they had watched the wildness grow in her. ❞ ❝ in the stories the bird-prince and the wicked sorcerer, they only come for the wild maiden. ❞ ❝ beware the dead. ❞ ❝ i will not come again, not as myself. ❞ ❝ he will call me, and i will answer. ❞ ❝ he will have my allegiance and i will turn against you. i cannot do otherwise. ❞ ❝ the leaves are falling. do not leave the forest. ❞ ❝ the old eater is waking. ❞ ❝ you will die by your own choosing. ❞ ❝ why would i choose to die? ❞ ❝ it is easy to die, harder to live. ❞ ❝ you are very lovely. ❞ ❝ he loved my mother and i killed her. ❞ ❝ she was more like a warrior unblooded than a house-bred girl. ❞ ❝ they said you were beautiful, you are not. you are magnificent. ❞ ❝ his smile might be kind, but his horse is afraid of him. ❞ ❝ you want despite yourself and hate what you love. ❞ ❝ oh, you are beautiful. ❞ ❝ hush, you mad thing. ❞ ❝ i have never seen a girl walk so light in the words. ❞ ❝ i will teach you to want me. ❞ ❝ she is braver and wilder than any of my sons. ❞ ❝ she will not fear god, and she will not listen to reason. ❞ ❝ the more i looked at you, the harder it was to look away. ❞ ❝ wild birds die in cages. ❞ ❝ tell me what i must do, i will be faithful. ❞ ❝ call me with every breath, and call me by name. ❞ ❝ obey me always, and i will never leave you. ❞ ❝ you have never been more beautiful. ❞ ❝ you are all i see. ❞ ❝ i want only to be close. ❞ ❝ i see you, but there is little to see. ❞ ❝ our enemy has loosened his chains. soon he will be free, i cannot keep him out. ❞ ❝ he wants to eat the world. ❞ ❝ he will come again, can you smell it?

"please, say something" ( Em! )
❥ @hanakarii --- 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐭 . ↳ 𝑒𝑚𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑖𝑛
𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 , 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐟 𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐲 . though aware of his own inability to fight --- and the near - constant delegation of meaningless busywork to him alone --- he still tries . he still lifts his head and swings a sword until he’s cut down .
it wasn’t much of a fight this time , he’ll admit . but a bird - man got his claws in his chest and the injury is very real . in spite of this , he opens his eyes and beams at the lady durendaire . she cares for him in a most uncomplicated way , he’ll not abuse her kindness by being pitiable .
“ come , come my lady , ” he tuts , lifting a hand and patting the back of hers . his long fingers curl around her palm , giving it an affectionate squeeze . “ the chiurgeon’s insist i will live to fight another day , let that calm any fear . ”
he shifts , wincing a bit on his way to sitting up . he looks over sayuri’s shoulder to the nurse hovering in the doorway .
“ leave us , i am in good hands . ”

PAIN IS OFTEN SUBJECTIVE, it can either be a strike through your heart or a searing through flesh down to marrow. pain is different now, not quite as bombastic or explosive when all your insides are already so fragile, but … numb, almost bereft. he can feel the scalding ache but ofttimes the scars never stick ( all but one ). when you have died before one cannot help but wonder if the same will happen again. a second death. what else could that take he wonders, strange as it may seem.
❝ now, now, i can’t have you fretting like an old maid over a simple cut. ❞ neither a chide nor dismissal. the tearing in his sleeve is no more than an afterthought, after all, he had suffered far, far worse. no scarlet can be seen or smelt, though the lingering burning of violence remains. before their makeshift hearth he settles, after all, the night will always welcome him home.
♱ @conjury, for edda !
𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞 ? edda refuses to blush or look embarrassed , settling her mouth into a hard line and giving her head a hard shake .
“ spoken like someone entirely unaware of their own importance , ” she huffs . but she sits down with him , trying even now to reach for his arm and assess any damage . true , there is no blood but that does not mean there is no pain . “ who are you and what have you done with astarion ? ”
edda hazards a time , the corners of her red mouth tugging up . she nudges her shoulder against his and is finally successful in prying his hand into her lap .
“ you’re right , ‘tis nothing to fret over , ” she admits , but does not let his hand go . she traces the end of her black - nailed finger over the fleshy heel of his palm . “ but you like it , deep down when i do worry about you . ”
