i've seen a brighter world, i can't go back

“Yes.”

“No.”

“Why? Are you scared?”

“Oh no. I have no need for that. I think you know how I can get.”

“No. I’m just telling you what I’m going to do.”

“Do you feel threatened?”

“I would never. Just… you know. Keep what I said in mind.”

“Do I really need to spell it out for you?”

“I think you know.”

⟢ "I'm not angry. I'm past angry. Angry was six months ago. What I am now doesn't have a name yet."

⟢ "You want to know what it felt like? It felt like drowning in something you poured."

⟢ "Don't you dare cry. You don't get to cry. That's mine. You don't get that too."

⟢ "I have thought about this moment for so long and now that you're here I just feel tired. So tired. Like the anger finally ate itself."

⟢ "You broke something fundamental in me. Just—something that worked before doesn't work anymore."

⟢ "I used to pray you'd come back. Then I started praying you wouldn't. Funny how that works."

⟢ "You want forgiveness? Stand there. Keep standing there. Maybe in ten years I'll have something for you."

⟢ "I'm not the mess you left behind anymore. But god I was. God you should've seen what you left behind."

⟢ "There are nights I wake up and I'm so angry I can taste it. It tastes like metal. Like something that should've healed."

⟢ "You told me I was too sensitive. I believed you for years. That's the part I can't forgive. That I believed you."

⟢ "You never hit me. You want a medal for that? You never hit me and somehow I still flinch."

⟢ "I'm not a tragedy. I refuse to be your tragedy. What you did was ugly and ordinary and I will not make it beautiful for you."

⟢ "I was a child. You knew I was a child and you did it anyway and I have spent my entire adult life cleaning up what you made."

⟢ "Stop explaining. Every word out of your mouth is just you loving yourself more than you ever loved me."

⟢ "I don't want to hurt you. I want to unhappen you. There's a difference."

⟢ "You know what's funny? I still defend you sometimes. Habit, I guess. Old dog stuff. I hate myself for it every time."

⟢ "I survived you. I want you to sit with that. I survived you and you don't even know what that cost."

⟢ "The version of me that loved you is dead. I watched her die. It was slow and it was ugly and she deserved better."

This is really silly but I thought it was funny 🕺🏼 I love it when Fyodor hops onto the bit just to mess with Sigma, poor thing:(

"I swear to god, I'd kill you if I loved you less hard."

"When you walk out the door, know that I will too. I hope they build coffins for two."

"Jump and I'm jumping since there is no me without you."

"You were standing there like an angry god, counting out my sins just to cross them off."

"Why'd if feel louder when all of it went unspoken?"

"I knew you would leave me but I didn't think you would do it so easily."

"You can't force the stars to align when they've already died."

"It's a shame that we're not soul mates 'cause if I didn't know better, I'd say this feels pretty good."

"Remember everything that we'd die for. You are everything that I'd die for."

"What a brutal way to die but you chose it every time."

"Generals order their soldiers to kill and o fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten."

"I don't know what's happening but I'm ready to help!"

"Okay, I have a plan." "Is it a good one?" "Yes! Maybe? I'll leave it up for you to decide."

"I brought snacks." "For what, an entire city? How much is that?!" "Well, I didn't know who likes what and maybe someone has an allergy I don't know about, and also I think Jessie is vegan now, so I had to account for everything!"

"Hold on, let me process that. ... Nope, still confused."

"I am here, I had a big breakfast, and I am ready to carry heavy things where you tell me to."

"Good news, I fixed the issue. Bad news, I created a new, and somehow worse, issue."

"Before you yell at me, I was left unsupervised. But! At least nothing is broken."

Hi everyone! Did you enjoy all of the amazing SSKK works from the SSKKBB26 Part 1?

Here's your chance to participate in Part 2:

No, no, and NO.

AO3 does not live in “the cloud” because that is other people’s computers, and other people’s computers are vulnerable to censorship.

AO3 is on its own computers. It does still have to be housed somewhere, and I suppose a determined enough hater could try to find that place and go after it, but it’s a lot harder than sending spurious complaints to Amazon or whomever going “BadWrong things are hosted on your cloud service!”

AO3 is not “in the cloud.” AO3 is stored on physical machines that the OTW owns.

₊⊹ "Let me be clear. I don't like you. I don't trust you. And I will absolutely work with you because the alternative is worse."

₊⊹ "I need you to do something that is technically illegal and morally complicated and I need you to stop asking questions." -- "That's my whole personality though."

₊⊹ "We want different things for completely different reasons and right now those reasons point in the same direction. Let's not overthink it."

₊⊹ "You cover my blind side I cover yours. We don't have to like each other for geometry to work."

₊⊹ "I've fought you three times." -- "Four." -- "You counted." -- "Professionally yes." -- "...Fine. Four. You're better than I told anyone." -- "You're worse than your reputation. That's a compliment."

₊⊹ "If anyone asks we never did this." -- "Agreed." -- "And you owe me." -- "I was going to say you owe me." -- "We'll discuss it when we're not about to die." -- "Fair."

₊⊹ "Can I trust you?" -- "No. But I need this to work as much as you do. That's better than trust."

₊⊹ "Don't go soft on me because we're on the same side temporarily." -- "Don't flatter yourself. You're a tool I'm using." -- "Good. Same." --"...Good."
