Esther Summerson & Ada Clare

from Bleak House by Charles Dickens

[mxcottonsocks]

“Why, Caddy, my dear,” said I, “what beautiful flowers!”

She had such an exquisite little nosegay in her hand.

[...]

“Well, to be sure, Caddy!” said I. “You must have two lovers!”

“What? Do they look like that sort of thing?” said Caddy.

“Do they look like that sort of thing?” I repeated, pinching her cheek.

Caddy only laughed in return, [...] At last, when she was going, she took me into my room and put them in my dress.

“For me?” said I, surprised.

“For you,” said Caddy with a kiss. “They were left behind by somebody.”

“Left behind?”

“At poor Miss Flite’s,” said Caddy. “Somebody who has been very good to her was hurrying away an hour ago to join a ship and left these flowers behind. No, no! Don’t take them out. Let the pretty little things lie here,” said Caddy, adjusting them with a careful hand, “because I was present myself, and I shouldn’t wonder if somebody left them on purpose!”

“Do they look like that sort of thing?” said Ada, coming laughingly behind me and clasping me merrily round the waist. “Oh, yes, indeed they do, Dame Durden! They look very, very like that sort of thing. Oh, very like it indeed, my dear!”

This scene is so cute.

Putting out feelers

Thinking of adding Esther Summerson from Bleak House to my list or playing her on Discord but I'm wondering if there's a fandom left out there for her? Specifically looking for an Ada Clare to be friends with and John Jarndyce for shipping

Ada: I’m sorry Morella, I’m just not interested in you, not like that

Morella: Not interested in you like that look at the state of you

Ada: So... what would you do if you were in bed with me? Hecate: Depends. Is your bed comfortable? Ada: Yes. Hecate: I'd sleep.

Is magic what makes us special?

The Great Debate is what makes me fall in love with Mildred and Ethel. Millie's speech, Ethel's facial expressions throughout every phrase, this is pure joy!

RESummer: Melting Ice Cream

ft. Ada and Luis

prompt from @shymoob 🍦⛱️🌅

Luis insisted it was his treat — something about nostalgia, summer, and making the most of borrowed time.

He was just excited to sit down with the same Señorita he met in Spain a year ago.

The ice cream melted faster than either of them noticed. She wasn’t really there for the dessert anyway.

She stayed for the company.

And for the first time in a long time, she let herself stay a little longer than she needed to.

Leon + More content below ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧

After Ada Posted

Leon didn’t comment. He didn’t like. But after being tagged one too many times, he updated his status with something vague:

"needed some air."

Then he turned his phone off.

Not silent. Off.

Meanwhile...

If you scroll through the RE cast's stories, you'll see Clare's story.

Claire was walking pass the shooting range at HQ and saw Leon shooting rounds.

💬 Replies to Claire's Story

@ jill.v

@ ada.w

@ leon.s.kennedy

He checks his phone later that night, after getting home—probably stopped by that quiet bar downtown first. Notifications piled up. Mentions. Messages. He scrolls past most of them. Then he sees Claire’s story.

Pauses.

Claire didn't even say anything when she saw him at the shooting range earlier that afternoon at HQ. Now it's on her story—with that dumb little caption.

He huffs a quiet breath through his nose.

It's funny.

But it also wasn't.

She saw him and left him be.

Of course she did.

Leon taps the screen and goes to Claire's DMs. Types something...

Backspace.

Types again...

"you didn't have to post that"

Backspace.

"Funny"

Backspace.

Finally he sends:

—

I wish they could have had more time together...

Cheers to Luis. i hope he enjoyed this Señorita's company ༼⁠;⁠´⁠༎ຶ⁠ ⁠۝ ⁠༎ຶ⁠༽
