It would be a sticky but luxurious demise

Sep 25, 2007 00:47

The city rises from the sand, pale and ragged like a heap of broken bones from some antediluvian creature. Beyond it, in the far distance, a reddish haze above the horizon tells of the beginning of the Dune Sea. Grim scowls ferociously and gives me a glance as if to say This is all your fault. I shrug wearily. In a sense, he’s right to blame me. To ( Read more... )

moonlight at high noon, from the rainlands, latenight weaver, dusty grimoire, my 3 wing is trying to strangle me, michaíl, dark angel

I've no idea what this is from, but, so pretty. ♥

Also hey does this remind you of anyone? Um, wow.

acidpop25 September 25 2007, 03:19:04 UTC

Oh. Tags. Dark Angel, apparently...?

acidpop25 September 25 2007, 03:23:19 UTC

Also, I am done with my work, so I'm just going to spam you now, mmkay? Kay.

sandra_lanimil September 25 2007, 06:43:19 UTC

<3 I loves zeh spamming. No, it's not from DA; the icon is. The texts are from three different verses, and two of those aren't any you'd know; they're derived from some rl roleplaying I did once. I have oddest flights of fancy.

All I want (all I need) acidpop25 September 25 2007, 03:47:15 UTC

Chasing Shadows.

They take no notice of him, far too wrapped up in each other, in their silly little games. Laughter and teasing and laughter again, and the haphazard tangling of limbs as they tussle on the couch. Both smiling, two sets of brown eyes sparkling and crinkling at the corners, mussed dark curls and tousled blonde locks.

Theo resists the impulse to slam the door behind him as he slips out of the common room, but only just.

...apparently Tam is not the only one with jealousy issues. 0_o

Re: All I want (all I need) sandra_lanimil September 25 2007, 06:45:01 UTC

If Tam knew that he'd be more happy about it than he probably should be.

Re: All I want (all I need) acidpop25 September 25 2007, 13:09:08 UTC

I know he would. Sigh.

Chasing Shadows.

"-pathetic, the way you just sit around waiting for him like a dog, like a fool," Devin sneers, lip curling scornfully. "He sure as hell isn't waiting for you, now is he? You're not worth that to him, and you never were, and you never will be. He left, just like everyone. They always leave you in the end, because you're so wrapped up in your stupid music and your pointless scribbles that you can never hold on to anything real. No one could ever love that."

For an agonisingly long moment, all is perfectly, silently still. Neither sister backs down, neither blinks.

Quite suddenly, Aislinn lifts her gaze. "Tell me, Tamnais," she says coolly, and Devin whirls to see him standing not three paces away, "do you still think Devin is the good sister?"

Re: Everything she said. sandra_lanimil September 25 2007, 06:47:12 UTC

He never thought she was good, precisely, though not this bad, either. But it's easy to like people who like him.

Re: Everything she said. acidpop25 September 25 2007, 13:10:14 UTC

No, but that's sort of how Aislinn deliniates things. Everyone thinks that Devin is the good/nice sister and Aislinn is the arrogant/cold one.

Re: Everything she said. sandra_lanimil September 25 2007, 13:13:50 UTC

Tam doesn't really think that way; he thinks Aislinn is making things very black and white, and he'll tell her so if he has occasion to. You're not alike. That doesn't make one of you evil and the other good. You're the same about Theo and I, and Blaise and Saeth, you keep wanting there to be a black and a white one. But we're all /people/, Aislinn. You might as well say all of us are evil because we're in Slytherin and that all the Gryffindors are good. It's foolish.

Locked inside my head. acidpop25 September 25 2007, 04:35:52 UTC

"I don't want you to marry Tracey."

Theo looks up at his brother. "I was under no illusions that you did."

"Then don't. Theo-"

"The lover scorned is not a flattering look on you, Tamnais," he interrupts. "You don't want me to do it because you cannot stand that I have anyone so important to me that I would do this, and you cannot stand the idea of anyone else having a claim on me, and you cannot stand that she can have so many things you aren't even supposed to think, and you cannot stand that it's someone who would never understand what has happened between us, and you cannot stand that I told her I would even though I know all of that." Theo pauses and lets out a breath. "I'm not allowed to love you, Tam. I can't. Not like that."

"But you do," Tam says, and grabs Theo by the shoulders. "Theo. You do."

He jerks back. "I don't."

"Stop lying to me!"

"I don't love you," Theo hisses, "and I never have. I hate you, you've made my entire fucking life miserable, always being so fucking perfect that no matter how hard I tried, how ( ... )

Re: Locked inside my head. acidpop25 September 25 2007, 04:58:10 UTC

...actually, that should probably be 17. I'm not precisely sure of my timeline.

A howl of love and rage. Oh, Theo.

Re: Locked inside my head. sandra_lanimil September 25 2007, 06:49:31 UTC

Re: Locked inside my head. acidpop25 September 25 2007, 13:16:03 UTC

The two of them, god. Tam is right, of course. Theo does love him, and he will never resent him enough not to, even if he tries- sort of a paradox, that, since he hates that he resents Tam, but he also sort of needs to, in that losing battle for distance.

The dreamless sleep habit starts in the summer before sixth year, to escape the worsening, screamingly bad nightmares Theo gets. This summer is a particular and new level of hell.
