Sometimes It Lasts In Love, But Sometimes It Hurts Instead 1a/? anonymous October 5 2011, 02:13:50 UTC

“I heard Marcus Aquila is getting married.”

Leave it to Placidus. The smug fucker.

Esca is struck silent at the statement. He hadn't heard. No one had mentioned Marcus's name around him in some time, likely to protect him or some other irritating notion - as if he's a wilting flower who needs protection and can't bear to hear the name of his ex lest it send him spiraling into a deep, dark well of endless bitter tears.

And yet, Marcus is getting married. Fucking Christ.Esca can't think of a proper retort for Placidus, he used to depend on Marcus for that, so he just glares and mutters, “good for him ( ... )

“I know.. I just wanted to talk to you again, but I was afraid,” Marcus leans closer, and Esca recognizes the look in his eye. That hurt look. Marcus was always one to wear his heart on his sleeve, and he's never been able to hide when he's upset. “I figured you didn't love me anymore ( ... )

Oh goodness, awkward conversation is awkward!

I had a lump in my throat just reading this and empathising with them both. They're obviously still totally in love with each other - the fact that their life circumstances hasn't changed it after all this time shows how strong and deep it must be. I hurt for them both.

Thanks for the update. ♥

Well, Nonnie, I'm still torn between hugging and kicking Marcus, but I have to admit that it was extremely emotional and had tears in my eyes at some point ♥

So happy to see an update to this, even if it always makes me cry.

Oh god this is so painful; I am really interested to hear Marcus' side of the story: The ball is entirely in his court and has been for a while now.

I'm dying to see what Marcus's explanation is. This has me all choked up; I'm loving it. :D

Looking back later, Esca barely remembers the parking lot or the bench. He doesn't remember the people passing by as they talked and fought and cried. He doesn't remember the weather, or the warmth of the morning sun, or the cool breeze. It could've been raining and Esca is sure he wouldn't have noticed. He isn't even sure exactly how long they sat together on that bench.

He only remembers Marcus, with his broken look, and his pleading gaze, and the break in his voice each time he spoke.

It's hard to stay angry with Marcus when he looks so defeated, but Esca holds hard to it. The anger is all he's got at this point ( ... )

Sometimes It Lasts In Love, But Sometimes It Hurts Instead 6c/? anonymous December 28 2011, 02:25:05 UTC

It takes Marcus a moment to speak, his eyes wet with tears that he seems to be trying to shake off. “I still want you too ( ... )

Sometimes It Lasts In Love, But Sometimes It Hurts Instead 6d/? anonymous December 28 2011, 02:26:27 UTC

They're quiet for a moment, which gives Esca a chance to consider Marcus's words. He thinks of the trip to Cottia's sister's and that long-ago rant that Marcus held onto for so long, the one that played such a deciding factor in their life together ( ... )

Sometimes It Lasts In Love, But Sometimes It Hurts Instead 6e/? anonymous December 28 2011, 02:30:20 UTC

“Nah, really,” Esca stands, “I should go. You wanted to talk and we've talked and I'm not sure there's much more to say at this point ( ... )

Re: Sometimes It Lasts In Love, But Sometimes It Hurts Instead 6e/? ladytiferet December 28 2011, 03:11:41 UTC

Arrrgh, I want to throttle Marcus, slowly and painfully. And then I want to hug Esca ♥

Re: Sometimes It Lasts In Love, But Sometimes It Hurts Instead 6e/? poziomeczka December 28 2011, 10:30:54 UTC

DDDDDD:
I AM SOBBING ♥
THIS IS SO PAINFUL AND ESCA'S CONFESSION JUST SENT MY HEART INTO TATTERS AND SMITHEREENS BUT GOD THIS REMAINS AS SO BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN AND WONDERFUL.

Re: Sometimes It Lasts In Love, But Sometimes It Hurts Instead 6e/? awarrington December 28 2011, 10:49:29 UTC

*ouch* You've broken me with this. *cries*

So hurty. All the assumptions Marcus had and poor, suffering Esca - both of them so heartbroken.

Absolutely brilliant writing, nonny. Brilliant. ♥

OH GOD OH GOD.
I was staring at this page for like an hour before I even worked up the courage to start reading this update. I was crying before I was two lines in, and now I cannot stop sobbing. Reading this physically hurts, but it is so so good. Gorgeous, and painful, and haunting.

I WILL BE INCONSOLABLE UNTIL THE NEXT UPDATE. INCONSOLABLE.
