Where: Wanderlight Shelter and Sanctuary
Who: Leto @sanguisxferox
Suresh had gone to his sons business. It was outside the normal parameters of the visits he'd set up. Not in conscious rejection of his son but as a safety precaution. But Suresh was unsettled in his soul after the conversation with the Lightless Leader and the newer additions to the city. Suresh selfishly wanted Leto. He had left the bodyguards in a car in the parking lot. Walking through the sanctuary with his hands in his pockets, quietly admiring what his son had built for himself. A safe place for the grieving, the rare and endangered.
Finally seeing his son he walked toward him, opening his arms to envelop the other in an affectionate hug. "I'm sorry I didn't call. I wanted to surprise you."

Suresh knew that this moment was inevitable. He hated it. And he couldn't help himself but dig his claws in a little deeper. Leto was his. Would always be his. Even if he had to share his son. No one would usurp his position. He let out a soft sigh at the outburst. Not reprimanding his child but instead looking away from him, turning his head to the side as if in pain. Waiting for the apology he knew was coming. Finally he turned to look at Leto, brushing fingers over his cheek, "It's my fault. I didn't know how to be a better father. I did my best. I love you and I want you to be able to have any life you desire..." Even if it's without me, the unsaid words drifting through the air.
Tumblr media
There was a small sense of gratification that Leto was angry. A deep abiding anger deep inside of his soul. The scent of rain, metal and flowers filled the room. He touched Leto's cheek gently. "We can swim. Pontchartrain?"
He just nods, knowing that it's his choice and he'll have to live with it. Though, right until that moment, he thought he could have both Levi and his father at his side. But when he hears his father's suggestion, whatever happiness and childish joy he'd been feeling evaporate.
"Is this to be my punishment as your son for leaving your side as an Underboss—getting treated like some random acquaintance?" There's anger there, but it's not toward Suresh. Well, maybe a lil, but it's mostly toward himself for reacting this way when he'd expected to be abandoned or punish in the first place. He's hurt; terribly so. While Suresh will no longer be his faction leader, he's still the deity he worships as Desire's avatar and the man he calls father. But Leto remembers his upbringing, straightening back up and out of the embrace. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have given you that attitude. You've always had by best interest in mind. I'll follow your wishes, like always." He says quickly like he would've done during a meeting with other people around.
Tumblr media
Though on the inside there's a raging storm; a strong desire to lash out, but he does. Leto knows his father will feel it, but he doesn't want to talk about it, cause he doesn't want today to end on a bad note. "How about that swim?" He smiles and it manages to reach his eyes, but only because he's a great chameleon.

I don't want to bother you while you're in your art challenge, take your time to answer! I just loved your analysis and opinion of Branchus, and i saw in the post you said we could ask you for others Apollo's lovers... I want to know (they're not lovers, they're grandfather and grandmother lol, but i would like to see your thoughts) of Koios and Phoebe 👀 Not in relationship with Apollo, just your opinion of them...
We don't know so much about Koios, we know a bit more about Phoebe because of her tie to Delphi and the Oracle.
Oh, how sweet! Thank you so much for the consideration and hey, no worries at all on asking about his grandparents rather than a lover, I'm always ready to ramble about Apollo's genealogical line since I find it extremely interesting!
Since information on a lot of the older Titans in terms of how they were worshipped and seen is scarce (Phoebe does have mentions in her mantic right but very little is mentioned in reference to Koios or her daughters apart from establishing genealogy and Koios himself seems to have been more of an abstract establishment, the way a lot of Hesiod's old gods were) I won't go out of my way to quote or base my opinions here in any literature that I've been exposed to, so just keep in mind that what I'm going to say is very much my own opinions mixed with things I understand and very influenced by my own love of familial and romantic parallels in god-pairs being symbolic of various natural and abstract relationships!
I see Koios and Phoebe, like a lot of the older Titan pairs, as abstractions of the original pair of Gaia and Uranus. Power often originates with and is exerted by women in these older pairs while glory is what is passed on, and consequently fought over, by the men - in Gaia and Uranus' case, it is Gaia who is older and it is from Gaia that Uranus is born. Uranus is her match but is also her subservient and so when Uranus is unable to love his children and seeks their destruction, it's Gaia who bestows the power and means by which to silence him. This 'equal but subservient' dynamic is definitely alive and well with Koios and Phoebe and I even think they mirror their parents from a symbolic standpoint as well.
Koios and Phoebe are the knowledge duo. They represent the two sources of knowledge/wisdom in the old world - that of heavenly (male) knowledge which pertains to the nature of the physical world and its realities and earthly (female) knowledge which pertains to the nature of intangible and unobservable reality such as time and space. I like having them mirror each other; what with them both being associated with their respective world axes (Koios as the heavenly axis if you syncretise him with the Roman Polos, Phoebe as the earthly axis if you take Delphi as the centerpoint of the world), having serpent symbolism (Koios with the hundred-headed star-serpent Drakon who guards the Hesperides which is sometimes said to be located in the land of the Hyperboreans and Phoebe with Python who guards the fount of knowledge at Delphi) and splitting their essence equally across their descendants (Their children and grandchildren perfectly embody one half of their partnership - Asteria with her heavenly magic and night-prophecies and Leto with her earthly power and wisdom and their grandchildren following likewise; Hecate who works beneath her grandfather's skies and has her grandmother's wisdom but who has chosen to reside neither in the sky nor on the earth, Artemis who could not be more of a daughter of the soil and Apollo who has his place among the brightest of stars).
It all leads back to that really fun dichotomy of equal but subservient honestly! Knowledge (and wisdom/intelligence) in general in Greek myths are female in nature so already that kind of puts Koios in an interesting position as a direct male descendent of Gaia and Uranus who didn't represent some physical, tangible element (in contrast his brothers all had some level of physicality to them - Oceanus the oceans, Cronus the harvest, Crius the winds, Hyperion the light, so on and so forth) but there's also that element of Koios' glory also being female! After all, his only male descendent is two generations removed and what should be his seat of power - Hyperborea - became Leto's the moment she was born there.
In this way, I admittedly find that a lot of comfort in Koios and Phoebe's partnership. There's a lot of respect both ways between them with Koios' respect and regard of Phoebe reminding me a lot of Uranus' original adoration of Gaia (and his return to said quiet, constant adoration after his castration) while Phoebe's overseeing of her mantle being very reminiscent of Gaia's own kingmaking both for Cronus and later for Zeus. For me, theirs is a pair without ego. A lot of the friction and instability in the younger generation of gods comes from the battle between intelligence and power - toes are constantly stepped on, glory is constantly being sought and the efforts made to counteract these moves results in conflict. Koios and Phoebe seem to have it all figured out by comparison. They've both handily passed their mantles down to their children, they've both overseen and instructed them and can rest easy knowing that they will not misuse said mantles and they've both just kind of retired now, content to spend their time in the evergreen Hyperborea, wrapped up in each other's arms like their father and mother before them and like, honestly? Good for them.
#ginger rambles#ginger chats about greek myths#pursuing daybreak posting#This was a lot of fun to put into words ngl!#I really love thinking about Koios and Phoebe because I genuinely just imagine that they're stupidly powerful#stupidly in love old people who are just living out their days peacefully after millenia of nonsense#It helps that their grandchildren genuinely have shit so under control all the time - they legit never have to step in or squabble over#politics or power. Like grandma and grandpabbie are straight vibing and you love to see it#Considering Drakon and Python - I also really like paralleling them as implements of Koios and Phoebe#Because Apollo slays Python and in doing so transitions from child to man as he claims his birthright while Heracles#slays Drakon for the golden apples as the last step before his metaphorical apotheosis; his trip into death and his glorious return#No I will never stop talking about Apollo and Heracles as a sibling and divine pair you can't stop me#But yeah no - Koios and Phoebe are super cool I love them a lot and I genuinely think the femininity of the mantic line is something#worth exploring not just from an academic perspective but from a literary perspective because female power in Greek myths is extremely#and distressingly underrated like it's actually crazy. Apollo's whole family line is nothing but powerful ass women#Anyway I'm not gonna get onto that soapbox here but just think about it#Hope you enjoyed reading this anon <33#Coeus#Phoebe#Apollo#Artemis#Leto#Asteria#greek mythology

BAD WBN MERCH IDEAS
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I did the sweatshirt in orange bc I associate the fireside w/ orange (I listen through the overcast app and it has an orange logo so fireside = orange in my brain) before realizing that I should make a teal one for the teal galaxy. And like how you only remember you forgot an ingredient once the cakes been in the oven for 45 minutes, I only remember after I deleted the sweatshirt.
Anyway all of these designs would get out of date by the next fireside Lou guest and I think that’s hilarious.

chaotic duo
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing(s): dune cast x actor!reader (platonic), oscar isaac x actor!reader
synopsis: requested by this ask!
⤷ alt: even your on-screen son can't deny how delightful his on-screen parents were.
notes: absolutely no shade to rebecca ferguson i adore her too much. reader is considered to have fem pronouns. ALSO ive been feeling iffy about trying to write for dune characters?? personally, although i love writing these actor!reader stories, writing for the actual characters i feel would be more challenging. dune's still pretty new to me but i kinda wanna give it a shot if i can make a good storyline T-T
Tumblr media
It all started with the Dune Cast Q&A brought together by Nerdist. Timothee Chalamet and Denis Villeneuve had just finished chatting with the host, Stephen Colbert about their perspectives on Paul's character. Much emphasis had gone on the young actor's performance. And Denis's decision to cast such a well-experienced one.
After finishing up their last question together, Stephen decides to introduce two additional members. "Timothee let's bring out the man and the woman who play your parents, Duke Leto Atreides and Lady Jessica." A transition between screens to display your camera view and Oscar's. He introduces both your names.
"Hi!" You grin at the camera, comfortably leaning against one of the arms of your chair. Similar to everyone else's backdrop, yours was pitch gray, covering all but your silhouette and chair.
"Hey Stephen," Oscar greets at ease, as you proceed to wave to each of the people seen onscreen.
It cuts immediately to the host gesturing in continuation for a question. "Tell me and the audience about Duke Leto Atreides. What do we need to know?"
"He's the father and human. I think that's the biggest thing and uh under incredible pressure to save his family. Save his house but to adapt to this new existential threat situation which is moving to this strange planet," Your fellow costar puts into short. Short and concise was what was expected.
Content with his answer, Stephen moves the attention to you. He calls out your name, eagerly. "Rereading the books uh- right now, I am struck by how much of the story- uh the backstory and the action story is driven by the decisions Lady Jessica makes." A smile grows on your face, knowing how much fun was a character to play for you.
Along his last few words, you find yourself nodding in agreement. "I'm impressed with that you, Stephen actually read the books again!" An instant grin comes from the said man. "But it's all applause to Denny- he highlighted this from the book. In the film, her decisions basically create, fractures and disrupts everything."
"Best parents ever," In a low whisper, Timothee murmurs and the five of you burst into short chuckles and snickers.
"The best you could ever have!" You clapped your hands together, shaking them above your head in victory. And when the screen expands to show everyone's reactions, the audience can noticeably pinpoint Oscar's playful eye-rolling.
Tumblr media
Another fun interview you had the pleasure of sharing was with Grazia UK. It was in a more comfortable setting. With you and Oscar in a lounge room, with the Zoom camera on. While the female interviewer complimenting a kind smile.
"Can I ask you something," Not within a second of the conversation, you rose up with a peculiar question. "Do you remember his beard?" Your costar beside you, looks away in disappointment. Even raising his hand to emphasize his discouraged state.
"A bit yes..."
"Yeah,"
"Yes!"
"Why? It was an impressive beard," Sort of clueless really, the interviewer says, of why you wanted to the topic up.
"Yeah, it was impressive!" Oscar looks back and forth between you and the camera, directing towards the woman on the other side. While you shriveled in embarrassment, leaning your head behind his shoulder, with a few snorts of laughter. "She doesn't even remember if I had a beard or not in the movie! She just saw it."
"Quite a prominent beard!"
"Yes yes, well I can remember so much," You chaste, leaning closer, locking eyes with your costar. Threatening really in a playful way.
"We shot together for a few months! How could you not remember?!" He exclaims, raising both his hands in the air in exasperation. You puff, adorning a pouty-like look.
"I work with what's in front of me," you turn to address the interviewer, pointing at Oscar accusingly. Because much contrast to what he looked months ago, he no longer had that impressive beard. He was clean-shaven, much to your display.
Next to you, Oscar scoffs. "Apparently not!" Bumping shoulders with you as you fought back, poking him many times obnoxiously.
You both later discussed a provoking quote referenced multiple times from Dune posters. Fear is the mind killer. Truly a simple yet intriguing phrase that fitted well with the film. And in generally, you and Oscar compared each others quotes from personal experience.
"I guess you could combine them together," Taking a sip out of your glass, you eyed at Oscar. He hums back and smooths his hands comfortably down his hips.
"It will pass and love prevails!" He cheerfully expresses. Even from afar, the interviewer can notice how much fun you two were having with the question.
"Right and, it plays perfectly with the film," You add onto your little spiel, nodding as you go, "Besides the fact that- you know, fear is the mind killer."
The male actor lets out a long sigh. "Makes you forget how violent the movie is."
On the other side of the screen, the blonde interviewer shrugs her shoulders. "Well- it's only included in small parts in the movie."
It was your turn to hum, dragging out the M sound. "I think maybe the film focusses too much on romance."
A caught off cough comes from Oscar as he tries to his best to dismiss his your sarcastic comment. "I feel like there should've been more of it."
"Really?!" The shot pans to your exaggerated shocked gaze. You then turn to look at the interviewer. "He has no idea how to write a movie." Instantaneously the male actor bursts out laughing, shaking his head back and forth in little denial. Even you couldn't hold it together and giggled a little.
"You play Timothee's parents so spent a lot of time with him. What is the most interesting thing we do not about Timothee Chalamet?" The interviewer prompts, having their arms supported on top the their desk with pure keenness.
Pursing your lips together in concentration, your attention turns towards your partner. "Well coming from me- I mean I don't know if people know this about him or not- but he's very open hearted." Oscar continues, "And me, having to play his father- hence the beard!"
"Ah!" Giving more emphasis, you raised your brow in recollection.
He goes on comparing the analogy of having to play Duke Leto as a powerful leader of a House. Without his people and court, he wouldn't resemble much of an prestige leader. However Oscar later mentions that Timothee's performance was the catalyst to their relationship look authentic. He is young yet incredibly sympathetic towards what's to be done for the film. His time with both of you really sold your relationship as a family, you'd think.
"So that's a very generous thing to do for a young actor. And I was impressed and admired that," In the background, you can be heard mumbling in agreement. Your partner shifts his posture, facing and expecting you to go next.
Licking your lips, you took one last glance at him before focusing strictly at the Zoom camera. "I think for me, to have a young actor like him- he's very driven about it all. When he's on and off screen, Timothee's just focused- he's very serious and concentrates heavily on what Denny says- and I can say I respect that." You punctuate your point, tapping lightly on your knee. "And I play his mother you know, and I try to accommodate with that. I play along and we work until we find a good rhythm with each other." The older woman on the screen seemed enamored by your compliments regarding your costar. Yet her eyes quickly makes it's way to Oscar, sitting quietly and listening to you ramble.
His laidback posture showed how greatly he took your words in. You grab your glass and take a quick sip before hearing him say, "We raised him well." Taking your hand in both of his as a sign of pride.
A delightful chuckle comes from both you and the interviewer while your partner gives a satisfied grin. "We really did!"
Tumblr media
The media did not need proof to know of your enjoyed time during the production of Dune. In fact, multiple vlogs and documentaries about the film had fans and viewers alike become fond of your positive and laid back attitude about it all. Despite playing a calculating character such as Lady Jessica, you were nothing of serious when on screen with your costars.
"Welcome to Arrakis!" You popped into frame, wearing an exquisite dress, costumed by one of the designers. It was golden yellow with chains running down from the bottom half of your face to your chest. A faint veil covered your head but for right now, you had it placed on your hair. You spread your arms with anticipation for the cameraman to pan around your surroundings. "It's sunny today so I think we'd be out here for some time." You moved extremely close to the camera, before moving out of the frame to the side.
Abu Dhabi was bliss. The production and crew worked diligently day and night working in the deserts. And on this particular day, most of the cast had been present as well for the introduction of House Atriedes on Arrakis.
A few shots slowly pans from the crew's tents and Denny far into the sandy mountains as he speaks with Timothee. Another shot slyly captures you showing Josh Brolin an unknown video, sideways. Which somehow made him cackle very enthusiastically, holding his stomach to air as you quickly pat his back multiple of times. In all, everyone of the cast members were having a blast in the dry outskirts of the unknown.
"Hello," Brolin pops in another clip where he stands, wearing the Atreides armor. Under a massive shade area, a few people can be spotted in the background, moving equipment and conversing with others. From afar, the people filming the documentary can be heard presenting a few questions for him to touch upon. "Ah what do I think about Lady Jessica being played by," He says your name sincerely.
The video cuts to you having a conversation with your on and screen husband. A hand covering above your face to shield yourself from the sun, while Oscar tries to move where the light is hitting you as the best he could.
"I mean a phenomenal actor like her playing in that kind of role is guaranteed to have an amazing performance. She's- We've known each for a long time since Sicario and with Denny," The male actor softly grins, staring at where you were. "But Oscar on the other hand, eh- not so much." His tone becoming monotonous, as if the shift in topic was distasteful to the touch.
"Whatcha say, Gurney?!" A scream echoes and it's Oscar, cupping both his hands into an O.
The older actor couldn't keep it together before breaking into frivolous giggles. "Nothing, my lord!" He takes one last glance back before seeing you give him two big thumbs up with a silly smirk. "No in all seriousness, those two are just the best! You can never have a bad day with them."
Another prominent section in the video fans adored was with the actors that played Duncan Idaho and Dr. Liet Kynes. This time they are situated in what looked like the structure of Arrakeen. Where all ornithopters were supposedly stationed and the introduction of Dr. Kynes.
"They're so mom and dad," Jason Momoa shaking his head playfully with his hands clamped together. Both him and Sharon Duncan-Brewster wore still suits unlike many other extras who wore Atreides armor. "I mean- they're playing Paul's parents- but in real life it's just so different."
"Definitely more chaotic," Brewster jumps in, earning a hum from her costar. "They act nothing like them."
A cool shot from different location displays you in a dark with Timothee. It was the scene after Paul is put to test to by the Reverent Mother. It was a chilling scene yes, but in post production, many realize how unprofessional you sometimes were even in the most serious times.
The cameras were not live however the film crew were about to pan to you gesturing back and forth with your on-screen son. It was a interactive and intriguing conversation you both were having. You looking in purely engaged with what the French actor was saying. After a few sentences being spoken, it looked as though you chided a teasing joke which gave the reaction of Timothee slightly snickering, backing away slowly.
"I mean do they look like my parents? No," The young actor states shortly. It looked as though the clip was shot right after capturing your cute moment togehter. "But I'd say- yeah Oscar Isaac's a great actor and- to be able to play my dad is pretty cool. Even though we look nothing alike." Nervous laughter spouts as he clears his throat.
"I feel like I get the resemblances from my mom though," Affectionately stating your name, "You can tell where I got my powers, good looks from." Momentarily readjusting his collar as he takes a quick look from behind, knowing your footsteps.
"See? I'm the favorite parent!" In hushed squeal, you wrapped your hands around Timothee's shoulders, earning a lovable grin back.

The way his son takes his hands makes Suresh's face show his disquiet. But he still squeezes them gently between his palms and gold fingers. He let Leto hold his hands and Suresh gently reached along his skin to gage the other's emotions. He seemed more concerned about Suresh's reaction than about the information. His tail wrapped around the chair he was sitting in as he looked at Leto's face. As he listened his tail wrapped tighter around the chair until an audible crack shot through the room as the wood buckled just slightly under the pressure. It was about you. But his hands remained relaxed as they held Leto's. He carefully took his left hand out of Leto's and placed it under his son's chin. Making sure they were looking at each other. "Do not worry about my plate. There is always space for anything concerning your well being." He let out a soft, tired sigh and returned his hand to Leto's. He gave a small nod, "Now, explain, please. How was the attack about me precisely?" He knew the attackers were dead, which was lucky for them, considering what Suresh would have done to them for going after his son. But there were many more questions.
Tumblr media
Leto had been happy to see members of the Lotus Eaters during trying times. There's so much love for them and this is how he proves it. He might not be around for the good times, but at least, he's there to mourn and heal with them. But most of all, he gets to see his father. He smiles warmly at the name��it always soothes him to hear it.
"Probably." He admits with a sigh. Leto lowers himself to his knees holding his father's hands. Though it looks like he wants to offer comfort, it's more about creating some resistance to prevent his father from running out to cause a massacre. The attackers are all dead, but Leto had made sure that anything worth their attention on them would be kept for later use. "The attack wasn't random. I've never seen them before in town, but it was about you. But then that chimera happened, so I didn't say anything to Em. But I wanted to things to calm down a it before adding more to your plate." Leto's emotions are easy to read, especially for his father. Right now, he doesn't want to worry his father, but he also hates holding things from him and he doesn't know that soon enough, he'll be doing a lot of that.

Happy New Year - Leto Atreides
Tumblr media
Leto + New Love for @howellatme
Tumblr media
Winter Wonderland Fluff Ficlets | Leto Masterlist | Main Masterlist
Notes- WC: 952 , Earth!modern!Leto x gn!reader, new established relationship, reader insecurities, suggestive, Leto is older than reader, not beta'd
Tumblr media
Leto is older than you and you love everything about it
The gray streaks in his beard and thick, curly hair.
The distinguished tip of his chin, the squared posture of his shoulders.
The crinkles at the corners of his eyes when he smiles.
The quiet wisdom he approaches everything with
But you're still nervous for him to meet your friends at a New Year's Eve party
To be honest, partying isn't even your thing. But you have a couple of close enough outside-of-work friends who convinced you to come over
And bring Leto
Will they think he's too...stuffy? Nicely dressed? Old? Who are you kidding, he's perfect
But something has your insides buzzing with nervousness. It's you. It's what they might think of him...with you.
His eyes light up when he sees you in the new outfit he bought
Yes he buys you things and it feels good to feel taken care of, you can admit that much
It's not that he's rich, he just...pays attention
He's intense and devoted and so much worldlier and wiser than any guys your age
Sometimes you wonder what he sees in you. You're not exactly the most outgoing, social creature, but the two of you clicked
Conversation flowed and sparked between you from minute one
He was a client at your company. You were one of a few people handling his account
Your crush was instant. Everyone has a crush on Leto Atreides
Took you a second to notice he kept asking for you to attend or oversee his meetings. A few times, things conveniently needed to be discussed "over dinner"
You were already on dinner number three when he laid his hand over yours and gazed into your eyes and said something mesmerizing.
Ten minutes later, the check was paid and you were draped across him in the back seat behind privacy glass while his driver shuttled you out of the city
For a second, you were sure he actually was rich, but he assured you the driver and the house were company perks. If he were to lose his job tomorrow, he would be looking for roommates in the cheapest part of town just like everyone else.
Thirty minutes after he laid his hand over yours at dinner, you were underneath him, naked and very willing to mix business with pleasure
You fell asleep in his arms in front of a fire
The next morning he made you breakfast and asked to see you again
That was seven weeks ago
You arrive at your friend's apartment, your cheeks warm and lips wet from where he's just kissed you breathless
Your friends behave themselves during introductions and soon enough, you're all talking, drinks in hand. You start to relax despite the number of people you don’t know in attendance
You play some games, eat and chat for a while. So far, so good.
One of your closest friends pulls you aside and gives you a teasing, knowing look, her eyes glinting with mischief. "Don't know why he needs that much of a beard, but damn if he doesn't wear it well."
"I love it," you reply, your eye catching his from across the room. He smiles adoringly, winking at you before resuming his conversation.
"God, look at him," your friend continues. "He is wrapped around your finger."
"I think it's the other way around," you nervously chuckle. "I can't even think straight sometimes."
"Oh my god, I thought you guys were just hooking up because he's rich, but...you’re smitten." Her eyes go wide.
"He's not rich. And I did not say that," you weakly defend.
"Didn't say what?" Leto smoothly intones, appearing behind you mysteriously.
You almost drop your drink.
"I was just asking your arm candy here how they managed to get a date with you," your friend teases you both.
"Oh, it was me," Leto confesses, fitting his arm around your waist proudly. "I asked for dinner after dinner and finally got a yes. What can I say? I'm a lucky man."
Your friend points to Leto, but looks at you. "Uh, keep him. Seriously." She leaves the two of you to catch up.
Your face flames hot, but Leto excites and soothes you simultaneously. "I think I might, you know. Keep you," you tell him, with a shy smile.
"Please do. Or else I won't have anyone to kiss at midnight."
You giggle, but suddenly feel childish. How can you be enough for this man?
"Dance with me," he murmurs against your cheek, pressing a kiss there.
You're not the only ones dancing, but you are the only ones actually...dancing and not using the living room "dance floor" as blatantly obvious foreplay.
Oh god, on top of everything, he can dance, and he's humming in your ear, perfectly in tune. There is nothing he can't do. What in the world is he doing with you?
"We can leave if this is too much." He gives you a social escape plan. He already knows you so well. Easing back, his brow pinches with worry. "Unless it's me." He swallows hard.
You almost choke trying to answer. He's so damn smooth and you're such a dork and...
"Am I embarrassing you?" He whispers on your ear. "Too old fashioned?"
"Oh god, no, Leto." You grip him tightly, hugging him fiercely as the song cadences, coming to an end. "I love everything about you. Exactly the way you are."
You feel an exhale of relief tickle your ear as the countdown to midnight begins. Ten, nine, eight...
"You love me," he repeats your declaration back to you. He gazes deeply into your eyes. Seven, six, five...
"I do," you confess, breathlessly. Four, three...
"Me too. I love you too."

Wow I was so happy with the turn out for this event!!! Thank you all so much for giving disability room to exist here in this fandom. We got disabled oc's, readers, and canon characters!
For those of you who are still working on pieces and we've chatted, when you are done just lmk and I'll add it to this list!
That being said, I am taking a 3 day minimum hiatus because I am doing. Bad.
Thank you to everyone who put in effort for these amazing fics!!
If I missed anyone IT WAS NOT INTENTIONAL I know there's a lot of animosity rn in the PPCU but I promise I tried to keep this organized. If I missed you, just lmk!!! In addition to that if someone you don't like is on this list too... idk what to tell you man I'm not removing people unless they ask to be so if you'd like to be removed thats cool
