how about “this song reminds me of you” and/or “can we wait a second? i wanna take a picture of you right now”?

Hii I'd love to write the second prompt as well but I can't think of a song for either of them, do you have any ideas? Then I could turn it into a songfic :)

Bernie takes the card from the ticket agent with a similar and makes her way towards the small theatre hall.

Her daughter's youth group are putting on Shakespeare's Romeo&Juliet with apparently some kind of modern twist. Charlotte had written her about it while Bernie had been abroad, and she had promised to come watch the show if she could be home in time for it, so here she was.

No matter what Marcus might think about it.

Bernie's smile turns a little strained, though she tries to keep looking friendly as she holds out her ticket for the person at the doors.

Bloody Marcus. What does he even care that Bernie is watching the show? It's not like they'd have to sit next to each other or anything. They're adults, for god's sake, even if they can't avoid each other entirely in the small theatre they could have still ignored each other or something!

But no, Marcus had to throw a tantrum that culminated in the point that if Bernie was going, he wouldn't be. Maybe he had hoped Bernie would back down at this point, but she had promised Charlotte she'd be there, and if Marcus didn't want to show up that was on him.

Finding a seat near the middle isle, Bernie settled in to wait for the play to start. She had arrived quite early so there's be no risk of missing the beginning, and the theatre was still quite empty, but as she waited more and more people arrived. A father with a group of smaller children took the row behind her, one of the boys leans forward to play with the fringe on Bernie's chair until the dad notices, chastises him and apologizes, Bernie just smiles. "Don't worry about it." The kid didn't mean anything bad by it after all, and the play hasn't started yet.

A group of adults comes in with no children in sight, possibly the parents of children in the play? One of them sets up a camera in the middle isle, convincing Bernie of that further. She looks at the three women and four men, wonders whether she'd know them, be part of their group, if she had been around for Charlotte's practice sessions. Then she realizes Marcus might know them, and that anything he told them about her couldn't have been good. Maybe that's why he didn't want her to show up - if there have been outright lies in his tales, they're bound to come out sooner or later.

Bernie decides to go talk to them during the intermission if possible when someone settles in the seat in front of her. A woman, about her age, short hair showing a dark grey colour, clear gemstones glinting in her earlobe, and a mischievous smile on her face as she chats with her companion, another woman who Bernie barely notes has longer hair, she's so transfixed by the woman in front of her.

Relationship status: last night I had a dream I had a girlfriend and after waking up I was convinced for at least a solid minute that that's real

Favorite color: pink yellow blue black red hhhhhhh

Song stuck in my head: does this count? Lol I just showed it to my dad and now I have the star wars melody stuck in my head xD before that it wasn't Kylie Morgan - If He Wanted To He Would, I know that for a fact bc I spent all afternoon trying to at least puzzle together the lyrics (instead of... Just looking it up... Yea) so I'd have more stuck in my head than just half a chorus on repeat

Last song I listened to: probably Emily Ann Roberts - He Set Her Off, bc I've been listening to my country playlist and that's the last song in that one!

Three favorite foods: gnocchi with mushroom cream sauce, waffles with cherries, uhhh so much but also nothing I could pick as the one perfect thing hmmmmm roasted Schupfnudeln (southern German potato dough thingies) with red cabbage (also not that in German the stuff is called blue cabbage??? The stuff is clearly purple!)

Dream trip rn: I wanna go back to London but also I will not set a foot there atm even if I could lol

Tagging @lavendelhummel @toboldlynerd @squishmittenficfan @purlturtle @smittyjaws @ongreenergrasses @jennamacaroni @angel-march @mistyquigleys @petrichoraflora only if you want to of course :) also I'm gonna do a bunch of other tagging memes I have saved and I won't spam tag everyone each time but if you like totally feel tagged in everything in my 'tagging meme' tag!

How many fandoms have you written for?

Uuh. Um. So many that it only barely fits in two screenshots even on my new bigger phone? XD

I'm on 517 fics btw, 526 counting stuff that's been posted on anon (you can find that number if you're member of a collection and click 'people' on said collection)

What's your favorite fic on your Ao3?

Would still have to be my Andromaquynh longfic In Your Stead <3 though I'm currently working on a Mirandy podfic project that might take its place! Still, not my own fic, but I already love the voice acting I get to do there :)

Have you posted elsewhere? If yes, which of those fics is your favorite?

Uhh most is cross-posted to Ao3 anyway? I think some ficlets on @floreleine might not be... (Btw if you haven't yet, watch Gunpowder Milkshake it's awesome!)

How many bookmarks do you have on Ao3?

1574 bookmarks! Lots of them probably on private tho, check out my account and tell me how many you see there, I'm too lazy to log off and in again xD I tend to bookmark as, well, actual page marker bookmarks as well as use it as a 'read later' function as well as marking fics I've already read and writing me notes on what I liked or didn't like about them or whether they might be triggering for me in ways not tagged, warning me to only re-read with with caution, that kind of thing... I also bookmark a lot of external works so I have them saved all in one place, bc while I have a livejournal and I think also ffnet account I don't rly use them and I wouldn't even know how to bookmark stuff there...

Plus as recommendations for others! I love the rec function, I've got 175 public recs at the moment, so check it out if you're looking for new reading material :)

...so all in all, my bookmarks are steadily growing xD

How many unread comments do you have?

253 🙈🙈🙈 I'm sorryy!!! In my defence there are always some where I'm like 'ill reply when the sequel's up' and then I never write that xD probably half are still unread bc of that... Rest is some I just love looking at, some so long I love getting them but I don't have the energy to respond in kind and feel like just replying 'thanks' would be cheap idk, and some recent ones just uhh laziness

(they're of course all read though!!! It's just the function called unread bc they're unanswered and I haven't marked them read without answering, I only do that for replies, but I have read every single one <3 thank you commenters I love you!)

Any subscriptions?

6 pages full of author and series subs from way back 2014-2016 🙈 I'm not doing it anymore and I'm Trying to get rid of them but it's so much work adsfghjkl (I still want to keep them somewhere so I click the series/a fic of the author and bookmark it with the tag 'subscription tag' to know I formerly had subscribed/would have subscribed if I still used that function - I just want to get rid of the email spam because that damn thing already completely murdered one email address, and I've switched my ao3 account to another email and that's slowly dying as well now lmfao and I Never check those emails I just check my bookmarks anyway so it's all very useless to me)

Any favorite tags?

I clicked favorite on a bunch of ship tags, whenever I was reading basically just that one ship and wanted it close on hand I added one and never removed them, they're McDanno, Milippa Prime, ClintCoulson, Ineffable Spouses and Andromaquynh

@poemsingreenink @glassbearclock @falyakonmp3 @incloudines @kla1991 @viharistenno @pers-books @xvnot15 @kaorimaxwell-blog @startrekgeorgiouery @danisnotmyname @lavendelhummel & any other mutuals and friends, feel free to do this if you want to, and you can also have a look at the other tagging memes I did lately, feel tagged in any you want to do!
