hands are gentle , brushing through wet hair. he's a mess , not the first time she's seen him this way. he had broken his sobriety , gone since that night she had found him in the hallway with forgotten hotel key. it was now a routine for them , chrissy looking after cyrus. she didn't mind it , made her feel useful. like she belonged here. ❛ sorry that it's billy's , it's all i have right now. ❜ she helps him slip into denim shirt , buttoning pearl snaps. it'll do until his clothes are returned clean , or she can help him back to his room. turned from him now to grab water , the words catch her off guard. glass slipping from her hand , shattering against carpet floor. it would be easy to cross that line. and wouldn't it be justified , with all the time her husband spends with daisy? at the beginning , chrissy was convinced what cyrus and daisy held was a real marriage. but then through the cracks the real image seeped through. barely holding on , mirroring her own. she searches for words , trying to decide if it would be best to ignore them or not. to go on like she hadn't heard him at all. ❛ i think you've had a little too much to drink. ❜ she laughs it off , like her thoughts aren't focused on what it would be like. his hands on her , lips against his. the guilt holds her tight , threatening to swallow her entirely. it shouldn't be like this , it would be so easy. to allow herself to slip into his arms. she could weaponize him as something for herself , as a way to get back at billy. maybe it would be the same for him , only using her as a way to lash out at daisy. would it be so terrible?

as much as she would simply continue walking and leave him behind, the reality of the situation just better lend itself to sticking together (her idea after all). shadowheart does not know what to make of @g0dlight just yet (he seems so different from the crowd she usually finds herself running with) but it’s better than attempting this on her own. she looks over her shoulder, green eyes observe him. “do try and keep up, I do not know how much sunlight we have left…we have better start a fire before then.” she’s trying to be practical, in an impossible situation…under her lady’s watch surely nothing worse could happen. (she felt this inkling sense that soon things would make sense, she would never be alone in the dark after all). she only begins walking when he’s close enough, never the one to break silences as this one.

morning sun illuminates hotel room , rays slipping in through cracked blinds. eyes flutter from beneath dark lashes , room slowly coming into view. it's hers , the familiar patterns of floral wallpaper becoming focused. the voice that comes from next to her is not something she's familiar with. at least in early morning hours. she lays still , holding breath. nothing had happened , chrissy had to be sure of it. it was like any other night , where they spent in the company of each other while their own significant others were together. billy was just looking after daisy , that line had worn down. lost it's charm that it once held. her husband was a good person , but now she questions altruistic motives.

ALMOST ( SWEET MUSIC ) , so i think this fits one of our au verses. where cyrus is still in the past , focused on either his relationship with daisy or rachel? he's learning to try and move forward but it isn't easy. SAVIOR COMPLEX , this can fit them no matter what! it's more based about chrissy and her savior complex. she sees what struggles cyrus has going on. and either has a friend or something more , she wants to save him because it's who she is. not too mention the emotional affair bit with cyrus and her forming the bond that they do over the dynamic billy and daisy often have.

HELLO MY OLD HEART , this can be taken romantically but i also think it could be just their friendship too. another one that takes on chrissy learning to help cyrus heal as friends or something more too! i just love the idea of them getting through what they're going through together and developing a bond as best friends or something more.

WHO DID THAT TO YOU , okay so this one is just seeing that chrissy has been hurt in the past and cyrus wanting to look after her more or less? COME HOME WITH ME , how could i not do a hadestown song for them because it's us. i think in a verse where they end up together, chrissy has been scorned by musicians one too many times and it's hard for her to believe that anything cyrus does or wants is genuine.

the answer is easy. everyone deserved a second chance , or more. giving up on people , meant walking away. she works diligently at cleaning room of mess , tossing out alcohol bottles and left over food containers. plenty of it hadn't belonged to cyrus , the spared space of bus for the six. ❛ you're family now , and we don't give up on family around here. ❜ sincere smile plays upon glossed lips , turning attention to the roadie for a moment. ❛ things aren't always pretty with families. sometimes people mess up , sometimes people get angry. but the most important thing is , we stick together. ❜ billy , graham , the rest of the six? they had been the closest thing she had to a family as long as she could remember.
