Fucking dying here but I shall persevere

Revy has done the single most humiliating thing of her life. She once used Balalaika's lipstick to kiss her hand because she was sad that Balalaika wipes off her lipstick every time so it doesn't leave marks.

Revy really really likes it when Balalaika says Rebecca instead of Revy or Two Hands.

Even though it gets on her nerves all the time Balalaika appreciates that Revy is someone who isn't afraid to argue with her.

Revy doesn't know how to give a compliment in the moment. But she does give them casually enough every other time that Balalaika questions if she's faking it.

Balalaika gets distracted by Revy's tan lines. She's tried to get Revy to zip her shorts. It never works. Revy just shrugs. However, she knows when Revy is wearing lingerie because that's the only time they're zipped up.

The one time Revy wore a suit Balalaika tied her up with her own tie. Good times.

Balalaika is unflinching to the kinks Revy brings up just to mess with her. Balalaika will recount with a deadpan voice all the shitty pornos that she's edited that have it.

The first time Balalaika found Revy drunk facedown in a gutter she just left her there. Revy brings it up all the time.

Revy knows she's always going to be second to Balalaika's men and it fucks her up a bit.

(Personal headcanon here.) I don't think Revy would want to know about Balalaika's past or name. It'd potentially force her to give up her own story and she doesn't want to acknowledge that Balalaika was different because she'd be comparable to Rock in some regard.

Balalaika would notice it and it'd make her prob at Revy's past to actually understand why. Almost testing, or forcing a confrontation where Balalaika is asked about her past and she can shut it down for the power play.

Revy lives in the present, Balalaika the past.

Idk. I imagine Balalaika would be curious how Revy is so indifferent to it because it goes against her own personal worldview. Along with the fact that Revy wasn't born as Revy, just as Balalaika wasn't born as Balalaika.

Okay enough of that.)

Revy always complains about Balalaika's mattress despite actively falling asleep.

When Balalaika does paperwork she'll have the urge to draw Revy's tattoo but never acts on it.

Whenever they kiss Revy always cups the scarred side of Balalaika's face first.

Revy says a lot of slurs and derogatory remarks about lesbians that make Balalaika uncomfortable because it reminds her of how her men would probably call their relationship and almost be an act of betrayal or irresponsiblility on her part.

Balalaika finds it amusing how much Revy hates and is useless at technology because of their age difference.

Revy desperately stays up later than Balalaika just to see her fall asleep and be soft.

Balalaika has a habit of kissing Revy's cheek or forehead. It tends to have more of an effect on Revy than a kiss on the lips.

When they haven't seen each other for a while Revy will jump into Balalaika's arms.

Balalaika is stunned every time she sees Revy with her hair down or when Revy's waking up and the sunlight hits her just right.

Balalaika thinks a lot of compliments and praises in her head but half of them don't leave her lips.

Revy absolutely has a praise kink so Balalaika does use them more.

Balalaika suprises Revy with how much stuff she buys/provides for her. A lighter, cigarettes, food, clothes, etc.

Balalaika has shared her cigar with Revy and it's fundamentally changed how she sees them now.

"in the morning, you'll arrive in a tinted car and ask me to drive.

and we'll drive off with only one stop to throw away the stiff corpses".

The current word count of Violet Collar's sixth chapter is 25,690. For reference, I still have well over half that to go, but my momentum has dropped significantly as of late. Not due to lack of love for the story, mind, this is just a busy time of year for me. Hoping to pick up speed again soon. 💪
