Be Mine

Thena woke to the feeling of something fluttering against her cheek. It wasn't Gil's hair, or his hand, or his shirt against her cheek as she laid her head on his chest. She blinked, finally opening her eyes against the Australian sun. She was covered in rose petals. The whole bed was. They didn't even grow roses in the garden.

The Warrior Eternal sat up, looking around the room. There were bushels of plenty of other flowers around, from sunflowers to azaleas. When Gil had time to do this, she had...well, perhaps she had some idea. The night before had been...

Thena stood from the bed, slipping Gil's shirt on, which he kindly laid out for her every morning. She knew he had heard her get up, by this point, but she padded through the house silently, following the trail of flower petals towards the haven of the kitchen.

They weren't scattered sparsely--every step she took was more rose petal than wooden floorboard. The smell was light, telling that they had been spread out much earlier. "Gil?"

"In here, Sweetheart!"

A soft smile came to her at the pet name. He was feeling particularly good this morning, if he was using cute terms of endearment for fun. She didn't mind it.

It had taken her by slight surprise when he first started using them. It was just here and there, but one day she had asked him about the 'Sweetheart's and the 'Darling's. He had apologised and promised not to. She was the one who insisted that if he wanted to, then she wouldn't stop him.

Gil was already plating up a beautiful breakfast with a wide smile on his face. He looked at her like there was no sun in the sky at all--just her. "Hey."

"Hey," she smiled, still but accepting as he came over and greeted her with a kiss. He really was feeling particularly elated this morning. "What's all this?"

"Well," he grinned at her as he pulled out her chair for her and pushed her in and everything. "It's February 14th, my love."

Oh, yes. Western civilisation had concocted some holiday or another for the day around the 15th century?--or was it the 14th? Either way, she never bothered to keep track of all these newer holidays. "I see."

"So, I was wondering," Gil turned, pulling out yet another bundle of flowers, this time white lilies stuffed into the water pitcher. He presented them to her on one knee, just as handsome and charming and lovable as the first moment she laid her eyes on him in deep space. "Will you be my valentine?"

Thena smiled impossibly wide, a featherlight laugh floating up and out of her. The dust in the air turned into sparkles and she shook her head at him. "We have been out here - married! - for centuries. Are you truly asking?"

"Yes!" he insisted, because Gil liked doing things like this. He liked making romantic dinners just as much as he liked making dinners on hard days, and perfectly ordinary days. He liked picking flowers for her and he liked telling her she was more beautiful than every star in the sky. He scooted closer, pushing the lilies into her hands and resting his on her bare knee. "So?--what do you say?"

Thena set the lilies down so she could use both hands. She held his cheeks, tilting him up so she could kiss him with all she had. She could kiss him like they didn't need air, because they didn't (not as much as a silly human, at least). She could kiss him like she never had to let go--like it was just the two of them in the whole world.

Gil let her pull back, both of them smiling against each other's lips. His hands ran over her back, over the linen of his shirt. He settled his cheek against her palm, where it rightfully belonged. "That's a yes?"

"Yes," she laughed, kissing him again for good measure. She sighed at the taste of his delicious food already on his tongue. "What a terrible wife I am, forgetting such an occasion."

"Oh, come on," Gil rolled his eyes, blushing at her way of pointing out how sweet she thought it was that he did things like this.

Thena feigned a woeful, maidenly sigh. "What ever shall I do for my poor, beloved husband?"

"Mm, I don't think anyone would feel bad for me," he pointed out as he sat next to her, waving his fork up and down at her, "when my wife is this beautiful."

Thena took her time dismissing his sweet talk. She poked her fluffy eggs before taking a bite, "you mean after last night?"

Gilgamesh blushed.

"I could shower you with all the flowery compliments you gift me," she suggested, also in a playful mood after such a sweet gesture (and after that kiss).

"I told you, Sunshine," he freely claimed one of her hands for himself as he shovelled a bite of eggs into his mouth. "When I say 'em, they're true."

Thena's eyes drifted down to her fork in her hand, allowing his flattery just for the special occasion. Gil would describe her smile as small and shy, which she would argue it wasn't. The Warrior Eternal had no shyness to her.

Gil happily leaned forward as his wife held up a bite for him on her fork. He would always accept any small gesture of hers, because they were her way of expressing all the things he put into words. They were her form of flowery compliments and flirtations and pet names. And he loved every one of them.

Thena finished her bite and stood, kissing him on the temple before leaving the table. "Finish your breakfast. Then come find me."

Gil blinked as she pulled her hand out of his. He could complain about it, but he was curious as she started waving a blade around--her way of sweeping up the petals from the floor. "Baby?"

"Leave the dishes, my Sweet," she called back, maybe caught up in his sappiness. She picked up the pile of collected petals on her way to the bathroom.

Gil heard the tap for the bathtub squeak on. He tossed back the rest of his food and all but threw the plates into the sink to be taken care of later. He loved cuddling her in the bath, and she knew it. "I'm on my way!"

Which Fate Servant Did you Summon?

(nabbing this off of lily, if you see this sweetheart, mwah mwah)

Your Result: Gilgamesh

Oh. You poor bastard. Listen dawg a grail war is alot more then just raw strength. If you for some fucking reason manage to be one of the like 3 people he's actually liked over the course of like 500000+ years, you MIGHT live long enough to see him win. But like, dealing with him will age you 10 years and frankly he's not worth it. Yes hes hot but just... so not worth it.

It doesn't matter, I'm happy with my decision and I will make him obey.

hEY i'm gonna start posting whenever i update my webtoon

so hi, please read the comic of gilgamesh on webtoon

[atdutiesend]

{ @sagekinq || con't from [x] }

exasperated  sigh.❝ sometimes ...   only  sometimes ...   i  wish  to  pick  you  up  and  just  throw  you  somewhere. ❞   gilgamesh  wasn't  any  better,  for  the  most  part.   especially  as  he  feels  a  pair  of  familiar  eyes   (read:   his  ruler  variant  judging  him  from  a  distance )  on  him.

Grim clapped his hands together in delight. "You know you can, right? As long as you administer the elixir if I'm not conscious after."

That's practically an engraved invitation here, Gilgamesh.

[brosozoku]

Gotten to the point in FGO where I don’t know what to do with my grails anymore. I’ve gotten a fair amount of lower rarity servants to higher rarity levels but like. The dedication to take a servant from 90 to 100? Five grails instead of two? You’ve gotta really and pick and choose. Who deserves it. Who’s your favorite. And like. Dude! Idk! I like so many Fate characters, man!!! Do I stay loyal to my OG faves like Cu Chulainn or Archer? And which Cu Chulainn would I pick, anyway? Do I go with a newer character that was original to FGO, like Asvatthaman or Medb? How do y’all choose, I am suffering 😭😭😭

Thenamesh Actor AU. Both of them being in a press conference to promote their new series/movie but after a while the reporters are asking Thena some really rude, uncomfortable and sexist questions and Gil warning them that they are here for the movie and not for those question. They still asking her those question so Gil (sweet protective Teddybear) runs out of patience, says something like that’s enough! gets up grabs Thenas hand and just walks out with her leaving everyone stunned, most of them and even Sprite impressed!

Would be super cool to read more of protective and supportive Gil :D

"You don't really have to finish this stupid press conference, do you?" Sprite rolled her eyes as she handed Thena a bottle of water.

"Yes, we do, that's the press part of the press conference?" Thena snarked right back at her frosty sister between sips.

"They're not asking you any real questions," Sprite whispered rather loudly at her, glancing out on stage to where the audience of mostly media reporters was waiting for the five minute break to end. "Except if you're single or not."

"No surprise there," Thena murmured, capping her water and handing it back to Sprite to finish. "But it's almost over. And then Gil's taking us for lunch."

Gil was the only reason Sprite hadn't charged out onto stage and made an absolute scene in her sister's defense.

As much as Thena probably wished Sprite wouldn't think of doing something that could embarrass them both like that, it wasn't enough to stop the temperamental teen.

But Gil had risen to Thena's defense at every opportunity.

"Okay," he sighed, smiling at them both as he rejoined them. "Ready to go back out there?"

"I'm afraid so," Thena smiled, walking back out beside him to finish up the media circus that had been this particular press set. She took her seat next to Gil. He gripped the back of his chair as he sat, deliberately budging it just a little bit closer to hers. The lighting guys would probably be livid over it, but she couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, so, where were we?"

"You had a stunt question," Gil volunteered readily, "for Thena."

Thena held back a sigh.

"Right, so, with the underwater scene, you both trained to be able to hold your breath for quite some time, given how long you're in those wet suits."

This was starting to sound like a real question.

"Are you able to wear underwear in something like that?"

Maybe not.

"Are you kidding me?" Gil glared right at the reporter. "You haven't asked a decent question yet, and I warned you about this already."

"Look, man, the questions get written for me, I'm just asking them."

"Well, don't," Gil stood firm, not caring how argumentative he had to be.

Thena moved her arm on the chair's armrest, letting the side of her hand just brush the side of his. "Anyone else?"

"Gilgamesh, you've done diving work before haven't you?"

Thena happily listened to his answer recounting his time on other projects. She had already all but written off this release as a bust. She wasn't going to be getting any questions that weren't disgusting, so she might as well let Gil answer any and all of them until they could leave.

"Training for this was actually really interesting," he looked over at her with a smile, "Thena's a champ--did way better than me when we were being instructed."

"Well, you know what they say about being able to hold your breath."

Thena kept her expression neutral, although she managed to glare at Sprite, who she knew was about one question away from pulling the fire alarm on them.

"No, I don't know," Gil sat up straighter, glaring at the audience as a whole. "What do they say?"

The reporter cleared his throat, offering at least some shame, "s-sorry."

"If you guys don't want to interview us, that's fine, we'll just go," Gil held out his hand.

Thena tapped the back of his hand with her finger lightly, "it's okay, Gil."

"It's not," he grumbled, but sat back and lowered his mic. He looked at her with a sigh, "you get one more comment like that, and I'm gonna take one of those cameras and shove it-"

"Okay, Thena, here's something we all want to know-"

Gil looked relieved at the sign of a legitimate question, but Thena frowned, not nearly so hopeful for it.

"Apparently Eros was spotted with an actress on the set of his movie, meeting him at his trailer. He's made some implications that it's a big name, that she's currently on another project and that she's naturally blonde-"

"Are you asking if I've been sneaking off set to sleep with Eros?" Thena asked point blank.

"Well-"

"Enough!" All heads turned to Gil as he pushed out of his chair and tossed his - very, very expensive - microphone away. He moved in front of Thena, pulling her hand into his as he faced down the reporters and their cameras. "I cannot believe how disrespectful you have all been through this entire interview."

"Gil," Thena murmured, but he was far past forgiving, at this point. He pulled her to her feet, her hand in his, still shielding her behind his larger frame.

"You can't just leave in the middle of your own interview!"

"You've barely asked any real questions," he glared right back at them on his way off stage, "and I don't answer to animals."

Sprite was filming him from offstage. She was so going to leak this online. She would wait, of course, until stories popped up about how Gilgamesh had so rudely interrupted his own press conference. And just in time, she would offer the reverse angle, wherein he was so valiantly defending his costar from a horde of assholes.

Those in attendance were still uttering their protests as Gil rushed Thena offstage. "Sorry, sorry, I know your manager will...well, I don't know, but my manager certainly is gonna kill me."

"That was cool, though!" Sprite grinned at him, eager to offer her support to his act of defiance.

Gil looked at Thena, her hand still in his, "I'm sorry. But I couldn't sit there and listen to them...say stuff like that."

"I'm afraid you get rather used to it," Thena rolled her eyes, which only seemed to discourage him further. She gave his hand a squeeze, not letting go quite yet. "But no one can blame me for running off if it was your idea. So, you've still saved me from it."

Gil kept her hand in his, letting her much colder hand soak up his warmth. "Anytime."

Sprite pulled out her phone, pretending to text while her sister and her not-boyfriend stared at each other. In reality, she had a picture of Gil pulling Thena along, ever so valiantly holding up an arm to shield her from everything going on. She couldn't wait to send it to Thena and watch her lose her mind over it.

"Uh, r-right," Gil blinked as the reality of things sunk in again. He looked around them, hearing the audience officially give up on them coming out again and start standing and packing up. "Lunch?"

"Please," Sprite murmured as she typed up her message, "I'm fucking starving."

"Sprite," Thena chastised, not that it made a difference. She took her purse back from her sister; her phone was buzzing but she knew better than to look at it now. It was just from Sprite, and it was just to annoy/embarrass her, anyway.

"Any requests?" Gil asked the woman beside him and her sister on the other side of her.

"I just read about this new taco place," Sprite suggested, slipping her phone away to tell them about it. Thena had to use her phone eventually, and when she did, she would be greeted by a very romantic looking picture of her and Gilgamesh with the message:

you and the hubs! make it ur background

They revealed Archer for the collab. I would have been happier with Saber even tho she's the most vanilla choice.

Thinking of rewatching The Ancient Magus Bride S1. Partially to refresh my memory in light of S2 starting in April but also because it’s a great series that has been nestling in my heart since first released and, thirdly, to pick it apart and rotate it in my mind to help me write my WIP given the similarities between the core relationship of both works.

If there’s a completely positive thing ChoT accomplished was to motivate me into opening Scrivener again every day, no matter the amount of job-related work I have to do.

[max-nolastname]

types of story that different black sails characters think they're in:

jack: typical underdog overcoming unbeatable odds story; he is the main character and the show is 100% about him and his joseph campbell hero's journey. he is like achilles seeking eternal glory. he is also like gilgamesh, seeking immortality because he's afraid of death

flint: one of those fairytale retelling stories from the villain's pov; he is the fire-breathing dragon/big bad wolf/wicked witch that his village has ostracized, chased out of his home with pitchforks and torches because they feared him and what he is and what he stands for. he knows that in another show, a more popular show, the story would be told from the pov of the villagers about the dangers that lie beyond the village walls and into the forest...but this is HIS show and in HIS show HE is the one that survived the villagers not the other way around and HE is the one that has been wronged and he WILL see them pay for it

miranda: at first she thinks she is the witty and cunning heroine of a regency period romance novel. she is critical of high society and it's archaic and sexist traditions, turns her nose up at the institution of marriage and yet against all odds finds a true partner in thomas. she thinks herself happier and smarter than her peers, for finding a way to explore her sexuality freely and still keep her high status. she is caught in a whirlwind romance with a handsome naval officer and well....then her story turns into a tragedy and a decade caught in lifeless loveless joyless limbo where she is sidelined into the background of someone else's story

max: overly aware that she is in A Story and that she is Not The Main Character; the spotlight is never on her, she will never take centre stage. in fact, she is in the wings, or perhaps watching the show from the back of the theatre as the stage manager, setting the scene and directing others to pull ropes, shine lights, open and close the curtains so that other actors can strut and fret their way around the stage

billy: revenge quest story! thinks he is the good guy, there to protect his friends and get revenge on the tyrant who killed his father. gains some genre awareness and realizes that he is not, in fact, the main character, but rather a side character caught in a romance between his captain and quartermaster and if he really wants to survive he's really gotta break them up

madi: a story of hope told around a campfire, passed on from generation to generation so people don't forget about the time that an island of maroons stood up to a seemingly eternal and unbeatable empire. some days, it's a cautionary tale, on how volatile solidarity can be with divisions like class, race and gender .... or how revolution necessitates violence that people who are comfortable in their oppression rather not pay... but no empire lasts forever and nothing is inevitable. the story sticks in the hearts and minds of future revolutionaries and someday someone somewhere will pick up the torch and continue the fight
