Vicomtesse Jacqueline de Ribes, 1955

“I can’t really understand if that’s your style or you’re a bit demented”

Wolf suddenly leans forward, resting his elbows on the table and it takes Ivan a lot of effort not to jump back. When he was little, Ivan was afraid of dogs. Now the fear courses dull under the surface of his skin, like mild yet persistent medication.

“You need to understand,” Wolf says in a confidential tone, all letters soft and light, a trot of a sentence, “That my levels of perception are different from yours.” 

He presents an open palm and starts bending fingers with the other hand as he lists on, till the palm closes into a fist. “I am a human, I am a wolf, I am an entity. I am something that just should not be in the kind of reality that you choose to accept. It is not me you need to consider, or reconsider. It is the image of the world, as it shifts around you. It’s a tough one, I know,” he adds in a caring tone of a nurse. “You’ll learn as you go.”

“Did you learn it too?”

fun fact: I have the first Peggy/Angie story up on Ao3 and as far as I know given I posted it twenty minutes after the show aired, first one on tumblr too.

send me a character and I’ll tell you:

My NOTP for them: after second season it became d’Artagnan whoops

My BROTP for them: Constance and Athos

My OTP for them: It’s a tie between Porthos/Constance and Flea/Constance, Conflea was the first ship I captained in this Musketeer multishipping mess but we all know how I adore Portance

My second choice pairing for them: If not Porthos, Flea. If not Flea, Porthos. If neither of them, Anne. Or Lemay.

My fluffy pairing for them: Porthos/Constance

My angsty pairing for them: Flea given half the things I came up with

My favorite poly ship for them: Porthos/Constance/Flea

1. The Knife "You Take My Breath Away"

I heard you for the first time on the radio When I was going somewhere in a car You touched my heart, like a knife that's very sharp Or like a bird (I was thinking about birds), you just set free That's just like me (I keep my knife sharp), when I hear you speak

2. Lana del Rey "Born to Die"

The road is long, we carry on Try to have fun in the meantime

3. Hozier "In a Week"

And they'd find us in a week When the cattle'd show fear After the insects have made their claim After the foxes have known our taste I'll be home with you, I'll be home with you

4. Woodkid "Baltimore Firelies"

Are they things that water can't wash away? How can your absence leave no trace? As I let you sink in Baltimore bay. I drown myself deep in disgrace.

5. Fever Ray "If I Had a Heart"

Dangling feet from window frame Will They ever ever reach the floor? More, give me more, give me more

6. Kanye West "No Church in the Wild"

What’s a mob to a king? What’s a king to a god? What’s a god to a non-believer?

7. Die Antwoord "I fink u freeky"

My crew's blowing up like Chappies bubblegum Popping in your face, nyaaaa

8. The Knife "Pass This On"

Does he know what I do and you'll pass this on, won't you and? If I asked him once what would he say Is he willing, can he play?

9. Lady Gaga "Judas"

In the most Biblical sense, I am beyond repentance Fame hooker, prostitute wench, vomits her mind But in the cultural sense I just speak in future tense Judas, kiss me if offenced, Or wear an ear condom next time

10. Sia "Elastic Heart"

And I will stay up through the night Let's be clear, I won't close my eyes And I know that I can survive I walked through fire to save my life
