#blue october 18th floor balcony

[blushingguy]

“[..] So we talked about mom's and dad's About family pasts Just getting to know where we came from Our hearts were on display For all to see I can't believe this is happening to me And I raised my hand as if to show you that I was yours That I was so yours for the taking I'm so yours for the taking That's when I felt the wind pick up I grabbed the rail while choking up These words to say and then you kissed me [..]”

[lets-dance-to-joy-division]

I hope you like sappy love songs, I'm in a sappy love song mood today. 💕 Side note, I went to a Blue October show a few years back with VIP tickets and Justin Furstenfeld is one of the nicest people I've ever met. Heart of gold this guy.

18th Floor Balcony

Song by Blue October

.

"...And I raised my hand as if to show you that I was yours

That I was so yours for the taking

I'm so yours for the taking

That's when I felt the wind pick up

I grabbed the rail while choking up

These words to say and then you kissed me..."

Okay my music tastes live almost exclusively in 2005&2006, and I was reminded of this song today, but tell me why I want to write an alternative meeting where Eddie and Buck meet while Buck is en route to LA. Eddie is in Austin for something. Buck has recently returned from Peru and is driving his jeep to LA. But they meet and it's love at first sight. They spend the whole weekend together. Buck asks him to come with him to LA. But Eddie's married and, yeah it's been really rough with Shannon, but he's got a wife and kid; he can't go with Buck. And he sneaks out while Buck is asleep.

Think of these lyrics from Buck's perspective. He's known this man for two days, but he's never felt like this before. This is love.

I close my eyes And I smile, knowing that everything is alright To the core, so close that door Is this happening?

My breath is on your hair, I'm unaware That you opened the blinds and let the city in God, you held my hand And we stand Just taking in everything

And I knew it from the start So my arms are open wide Your head is on my stomach And we're, we're trying so hard not to fall asleep Here we are On this 18th floor balcony We're both flying away

So we talked about mom's and dad's About family pasts Just getting to know where we came from Our hearts were on display For all to see I can't believe this is happening to me

And I raised my hand as if to show you that I was yours That I was so yours for the taking I'm so yours for the taking That's when I felt the wind pick up I grabbed the rail while choking up These words to say and then you kissed me

I knew it from the start My arms are open wide Your head is on my stomach And we're, we're trying so hard not to fall asleep Here we are On this 18th floor balcony We're both flying away

And I'll try to sleep To keep you in my dreams 'Til I can bring you home with me I'll try to sleep And when I do I'll keep you in my dreams

I knew it from the start So my arms are open wide And your head is on my stomach And we're, we're trying so hard not to fall asleep So here we are On this 18th floor balcony, yeah

I knew it from the start So my arms are open wide Your head is on my stomach No, we're not going to sleep, sleep

Here we are On this 18th floor balcony, we're both Flying away

[amarevera]

And I'll try to sleep

To keep you in my dreams

'Til I can bring you home with me

I'll try to sleep

And when I do I'll keep you in my, dreams

I knew it from the start

So my arms are open wide

And your head is on my stomach

And we're, we're trying so hard not to fall asleep

So here we are

On this 18th floor balcony, yeah

I knew it from the start

So my arms are open wide

Your head is on my stomach

No, we're not going to sleep, sleep

Here we are

On this 18th floor balcony, we're both

Flying away

[naneki-maid]

And I knew it from the start So my arms are open wide Your head is on my stomach And we're, we're trying so hard not to fall asleep Here we are On this 18th floor balcony We're both, flying away

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚: sooo i’ve decided to try and write some lil short fics about armin bc why not?! so here’s one of the first armin fics i wrote a couple years back!! (throwback to my wattpad days)

it’s inspired by the song “18th Floor Balcony” by Blue October. 

i hope you all enjoy it. ❤

abt the fic: fluff, armin is the readers boyfriend

"I close my eyes, and I smile; knowing that everything is alright."

You and your boyfriend, Armin, were sitting in your bed, cuddling and talking to each other.

It was dark in the room, the only light being the moonlight seeping through the white lace curtains, as they bellowed peacefully in the gentle breeze from outside.

Armin was clutching you as if you were a precious treasure that he could never allow to be stolen, his cold fingertips tracing intricate patterns onto the exposed skin of your thighs.

Your head on his chest, the soft rise and fall of his breathing comforting you as you listened to his heartbeat as if it was a sweet lullaby.

You were unaware that the balcony door was open, allowing the lights from the city to be let into the room, as well as the soft breeze from the outdoors.

It was a summer night, truly beautiful, and you both were soaking up this pure moment of peace, enjoying every single moment.

"Y/N, wait here. I have something."

He gently gets up, as you slowly lift your head up, wondering what he has.

You get up calmly, walking over to the balcony and grabbing the rail, taking in the beauty of the night.

Armin soon follows behind you, tapping your shoulder gently, as you turn around; looking at the small velvet box that he has in his hands.

Your eyes lit up, grabbing the box gently and opening it as it reveals a small ring with a moon design on it.

"It's not much, but I got us matching ones. Yours is the moon and mine is the sun. I hope you like it." He flashes a small, genuine smile as you put the ring on your finger, it fitting perfectly.

"It's beautiful, Armin!" You say, choking up ever so slightly as the ring glimmers in the pale moonlight. He grabs your hand, lifting it ever so gently and kissing it softly.

He kisses your pink lips gently, before gazing at the night city with a peaceful glint in his eyes.

You turn around and gaze at the city with him, grabbing the balcony railing once again, feeling content and happy.

Your hand intertwined with Armin's, as you rest your head on his shoulder, feeling free.

"And here we are, on this 18th floor balcony, flying away."

Haven's Playlist:

Human by Christina Perri Because of Haven's ability to pick up on the needs and moods of those around, she can do what's expected of her. Being brought into the DeMarco household opens up new avenues for her, but she still struggles with finding that balance between what she thinks is expected and the new "freedoms" she acquired. A reminder for everyone, but especially herself, that she's only human.

What Was I Made For? by Billie Eilish Song of the summer, right? But a fair question to be asked by a girl who seemingly wasn't born for any other purpose but to suffer. Even when thing improve for her, she's still faced with the reality that is her existence, with no expectation that it will change.

Shatter Me by Lindsey Stirling, feat. Lzzy Hale As Haven's new circumstances begin to have an effect on her, she finds herself opening up to new experiences, and the old parts of her start to shed. In some ways, she's safer than she's ever been, but more vulnerable too. Her new friends and new life open her up in ways she was previously scared of: feeling alive and having hope.

Sparks Fly by Taylor Swift Do we have to explain? It's about Carmine. Early stages in their relationship.

Tomorrow Will Be Kinder by The Secret Sisters As Haven settles into her relationship with Carmine and accepting the positives that come with her new life, she often thinks about where she came from, and the people she left behind. She's never had hope for something better before, but now she does, and she can see what her mother was always telling her. It's a bittersweet victory, but not the end of her battle.

Be Be Your Love by Rachael Yamagata Carmine often talks about running away, and while Haven may let him have his daydream, she's planted firmly in realty. She knows she can't run. And she's constantly reminded why her and Carmine can't live in their bubble forever. Dr. DeMarco maybe be okay with them inside the walls of his house, but Haven doesn't expect him to let her leave with Carmine. But as Carmine's words sink in, at times she allows herself to daydream of their future together.

18th Floor Balcony by Blue October Of course it made it in. It's their valentine's day song.

I'll Try by Jonatha Brooke Once some truths have been revealed, and Haven realizes that a future with Carmine might be more than possible - it's within her reach. But for a girl who's never had anything to hope for before, she does an amazing job of taking those giant steps.

Extraordinary by Mandy Moore Driver's license, diploma, school dances, and friends. Standing up to her father. Haven's come such a long way, and she's certainly ready to be extraordinary.

Hercules by Sara Bareilles During Haven's stay in the DeMarco house, she uncovers so many lost truths about herself. She must find the balance between who she thought she was and who she is - and where she came from. Even through the scariest situation, she's able to keep going. She was saved by these warriors, but she's not without her own strength.

My Wish by Rascal Flatts Between Vincent and Haven. Vincent, despite all his faults and everything that has happened between them, wants good things for Haven.

Free by Faith Hill A celebratory song about Haven gaining freedom.

Last Hope by Paramore Good or bad, Haven keeps going. She survives. Roll credits.

Thank you!

Song Prompt from Unclaimed Love Songs: 18th Floor Balcony by Blue October

Word Count: 100

Warnings: Language

“Clearly, you’re an idiot.”

You couldn’t help the snort that escaped you. Quickly covering your mouth, you directed your gaze out to the cityscape.

“Yeah, but,” and you let your eyes wander to the side with a conspiratorial smile. “I’m not the one stranded naked on the balcony.”

His face scrunched at that undeniable fact, his fists clenching the sheet around him as a particularly cold breeze swept through.

“It’s nothing I can’t handle.”

“I’m sure.” And you were prepared to leave it at that. An unusual encounter with the stranger next door.

“Do you happen to have any tea?”

So. The final Chapter of 'gusts' will go up in the next few days.

I can't say the exact day (though definitely maybe not today), but my deadline for myself is the 26th.

I'll be writing a longer thing about it later, but needless to say it's been one of my favorite projects I've ever worked on. I'm so damn proud of it, and I'm a little heartbroken that it's coming to an end.

Music has always played a massive role in my writing process, whether for emotional inspiration, or lyrics for a title. This fic was no exception, so I wanted to share the songs that helped build this fic...plus the title of the final chapter.

Here's the "Bring Me Home, Shaw" playlist:

-when the gusts came around to blow me down, I held on as tightly as you held on to me - "To Build a Home", The Cinematic Orchestra

-coming back to New York for me is home again - "Home Again", Carole King

-walk me home in the dead of night - "Walk Me Home", P!nk

-you put your arms around me and i'm home - arms, Christina Perri

-finally made a house feel like a home - "Miss Simone", Sara Bareilles

-i wish you could take me home - "There's Nothing Better", Shake Shake GO

-i'll try to sleep to keep you in my dreams 'til i can bring you home with me - "18th Floor Balcony", Blue October

-i knew when you told me you don't want to go home tonight - "I Know", MUNA

-'cause I built a home for you, for me - "To Build a Home", The Cinematic Orchestra

Some oldies. Some goodies. Some obvious ones. Some, maybe not as much. Some gay stuff.

Once again, just thank you to everyone who's loved this fic -- form beginning to (almost) end. May we all find our home in this wild and crazy world.
