Creation Myth from Della’s & Sansarc’s Homeworld

In the beginning, there was only winter. It was so dark and cold that you would never see the breath from your lungs, nor have it permitted to escape before you froze to death. It was a lonely place, with the only sound that could be heard was stone and ice shifting together. But life was eventually created. The very first being was a spirit made from the spark of two stones rubbing together. Her flame started to grow and she soon melted the ice and created the great rivers, oceans and lakes of the world. She created the sun and the stars, and the world lived among those stars. The second being was born. He was created by the last howling wind of the first winter, and the darkness before the stars. His eyes were two moons that reflected the light of the oncoming spring. He took the shape of a great hound, and watched from the darkness and steep cliffs of the world.

The spring was made from the First Spirit’s hair, warm breath, and gentle steps. The Hound followed her, breathing death. The dead grass, leaves, and timber became his great coat. After a great time of wandering the world, the first spirit turned to the hound and asked of his purpose. He asked of hers. “I am to bring chaos, light, and life.” she responded. Her voice was like the stream after a rainstorm, cascading over pebble and under fallen trees. “And I am to being order, darkness, and death.” The Hound said in return. His voice was heavy and like a song made of mountain peaks and their lonely howls. The two spirits agreed to allow the other their place in this new world. They became gods, each with their domains and tasks. The Goddess made the creatures we know of today, and many that we have forgotten or have yet to see. At first, all creatures ate grass. There were many friends, and no enemies. Amongst these creatures was mankind, and they ate as equals amongst the other animals of the world. But over time, man wandered everywhere and began to multiply too quickly. The Hound approached man. “Control yourselves, or I will control you.” The Hound commanded. Man scoffed at the hound. They had considered themselves the most cunning of all creatures in the world. They mocked the Hound and threw dust at him. The angered the Hound, and he decided to enforce order onto mankind. He gave every animal a gift that could allow them to flee or hunt. Then, he either instilled fear or the desire to slay the children of mankind. To allow mankind to be further hunted, the Hound took the sun from the sky, and hid it away. Mankind was now hunted and alone, but there was a creature shivering in his burrow that took pity on man. He was known as Gaunerei, the great chief of rabbits. He poked his nose from his tunnel and saw man cold and alone. “Come into my burrow, and I will think of a way to help you.” he said. As man huddled out of the cold in the deep ground to rest, Gaunerei began to consider what he could do to bring back the sun. “I will have to go on a long journey, and I will have to make him reconsider, even though he will not want to.” said Gaunerei. He gathered a satchel of food and herbs to help him stay strong and began to journey to the place where spring was never to be found. He first walked across great empty fields of snow, but he could not find any way to track the Hound. The Hound did not leave foot prints. However, the great cats, eagles, and coyotes could smell Gaunerei and began to hunt him until Gaunerei was forced to find refuge in an empty burrow. As the animals snapped and bit at the entrance of the burrow, Gaunerei wondered how he would escape. He recalled that he had a very potent root known as Firra that he used to season his food. It was the spiciest plant ever grown, and Gaunerei was grateful that he had packed it. Gaunerei throw a pawful of powder into the eyes of the predators and they each howled in pain and confusion. Gaunerei dashed out of the hole and ran and ran until he reached a dark wood where leaves never grew. The bark was made of stone and ebony. Through the trees, Gaunerei could see Badgers, owls, and crows. Gaunerei knew that only silence could save him from detection. The echoes of frozen trees cracking against each other sounded like the shaking of glass. The mighty badger continued to sleep, the owl kept watch with talons that cut into the branches. However, a lone crow spotted Gaunerei, and watched him closely. The crow followed Gaunerei as he finally slipped through the forest and faced a great mountain. “I saw you in the wood,” the crow said. “I am curious because it is rare that prey wander into our midst so willingly.” “I confess, I seek the Hound. He has stolen the sun.” replied Gaunerei. “KAh-ahhh. Is that what happened? What do you intend to do with that?” The Crow shook his oily feathers and looked at Gaunerei with a black eye made from the same ebony as the bark of the trees. “That will be my business.” “Kah-ahh-ahh-ahh. Is that what you’ll say to him? I hope you are swift and full of cunning. There is a song he sings to enchant his prey into his great maw.” said Crow. “You offer me knowledge. Why for?” asked Gaunerei. “That will be my business.” The Crow smiled. Gaunerei returned the smile. He understood now that Crow was a fellow trickster, and tricksters were quite interested in watching the outcome of a great task. The rabbit continued his great journey by climbing the frozen stone. He was quick, but even he was slowed by the mighty winds that wanted to freeze him solid. Gaunerei was grateful to be so quick, for many times stones would try to fall from under him, like they were also hunting him. It became darker the higher Gaunerei climbed. Ice made his dark fur frosty white. In the wind, he could hear a song heavy and deep calling out. It promised him warm burrows, gentle rest, and no more pain if only he would be willing to lie down and close his eyes. Gaunerei tried to understand the exact words, but the more he listened the heavier he felt his limbs become. He started to slow down in the ice and almost stopped with chilled bones and frostbitten ears. But Gaunerei remembered what Crow taught him. He resisted even as the song became more angry and dark. Gaunerei finally no longer heard the song, but he had reached the peak of the great mountain. The Hound was waiting on a rock with eyes brighter than the moon, and his dark fur shaking in the wind. His great muzzle pointed skyward, winds flowed from his great nose. Gaunerei was frightened at first. He had never seen a God so close. The knowledge that this God created animals that would willingly hunt and slay others did little to comfort him. The Hound’s very own teeth were larger than knives, and his claws dug into the ground like roots. But Gaunerei knew that he had to save the Sun. He gulped and regained his composure. “How great in size you are.” said Gaunerei. The Hound said nothing. Gaunerei approached just close enough to see that the knowledge of the stars were written onto the Hound’s face and paws. Gaunerei knew that if he fought the Hound directly, he would be ripped apart. “Personally, the badgers were larger.” Said Gaunerei. The Hound’s ears turned to Gaunerei, but the Hound remained still otherwise. Gaunerei reasoned that the Hound had to be somewhat haughty. That was why he was insulted by man so easily, was it not? “Oh, I thought the Gods would be something worthwhile. I had heard that it was you who stole the sun, but after seeing how dull you are I’m thinking otherwise.” Gaunerei said. The Hound turned its back to him. “So stupid and yet you think you’re so much better. I think I should be the new God.” Gaunerei said, looking at the Hound’s tail that laid out like the branch of a pine tree. The Hound kept its jaws tightly shut. Certainly, that was where the sun was being hidden, Gaunerei thought to himself. Why else would the Hound be willing to suffer these petty insults? Gaunerei then had a wicked plan. He reached into his pouch and covered himself in some honey that he had packed away. He then reached slowly and quietly to the Hound’s tail, and nipped the tip completely off. The Hound turned to snap at Gaunerei for biting his tail, and in a split moment Gaunerei was able to catch the Sun from the Hound’s mouth with his sticky paws. Gaunerei ran as fast as he could from the Hound’s mouth. Gaunerei lept into the sky to return the Sun, bringing warmth back to the world. The Hound no longer just hated mankind. He now swore against Gaunerei for defying him. Gaunerei became the great hero to all creatures. The protector against Death itself. Mankind asked the Goddess to make their ears long and their eyes sharp. They renamed themselves after the early word for rabbit: Snamreg. To this day, Gaunerei grants us trickery, cunning, and swiftness. This is our beginning. Before our birth, there was death. Our destruction was planned before we knew summer. But we were blessed with a thousand tricks. A thousand tricks for a thousand foes.

Metamorphmagus (Hogwarts!Taehyung)

Imagine that Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks had a daughter instead of a son. And the daughter is placed in Ravenclaw. Now, what happens when this metamorphmagus runs into the notorious Hufflepuff Heartthrob?

Genre- Fluff/Angst

1//2//?

word count- 2.4K

“Yah, Y/N, calm down! Your hair is turning bright red!” Your good friend, Lily Potter, gently touched your shoulder, causing you to flinch and calm down. Your hair finally returning to its normal color. As you calmed, you noticed that everyone in Hogsmeade had turned their attention to you. “Shit. Let’s just go.”

You dragged Lily out of Hogsmeade and made your way back to Hogwarts. “I’m really fine, Y/N. It was just a stupid crush. I’ll get over it eventually,” Her voice quieted down.

“I hope.”

“Look, Lily. You’re my best friend. Of course, I’m pissed off right now! He knew you liked him and he played you. Jisung’s a fucking idiot.” You ranted, feeling more angered and annoyed as you talked and thought about Jisung making out with some Slytherin. You couldn’t help it, Lily was like a little sister to you. She was family. Her along with her brother, James, and her parents, who treated you as one of their own. Lily let out a small sigh and grabbed your hand into her slightly smaller one.

He wasn’t worth it anyway. I’ll find someone better.” She let out a cheeky grin, causing your mood to lift a bit, your hair turning a light shade of blonde. “Sometimes, I just wish I got my dad’s werewolf genes. My emotions show so easily with just my hair, it’s frustrating, really.” You both laughed and made the rest of your way towards Hogwarts.

-----------------------------------------------------

You hadn’t gotten much sleep the night before due to the fact that you had stayed up in the Ravenclaw common room all night, learning about muggle culture through a cellphone that your grandmother had brought you from the muggle world. You suddenly had a huge interest in muggle music and dancing. But luckily, you didn’t have much work to do and you had a free study period so you took the opportunity to take a nap in the library.

“Hyung, I can’t do this. I’m never gonna pass that Potions exam.” Hoseok groaned as he slammed his head against the wooden table. Taehyung let out a deep, breathy laugh. “Not if you keep slamming your head against hard objects. You’ll lose brain cells for sure.” Hoseok glared at the younger one. “It’s easy! Let me show you,” As Namjoon began to help Hoseok with his potion dilemma, Taehyung let his eyes roam through the vast library. His eyes immediately finding your sleeping figure a few tables away.

“Yah, Jimin. Don’t you know her?” Jimin looked up from his book and in the direction Taehyung pointed to. Jimin’s eyes squinted a bit, trying to get a more clear view of the sleeping girl. “Yeah, that’s Y/N Lupin. Her family is quite famous. Her father was Remus Lupin, a werewolf. And her mother was Nymphadora Tonks, a metamorphmagus. Her parents died when she was a month old. They were killed by a Death Eater. Rumor has it that she’s a metamorphmagus like her mother was.” Everyone at the table had quieted down to hear Jimin’s little summary of your life.

“Wait, Y/N’s a metamorphmagus? That would explain the different hair colors!” Jin nearly yelled out, causing you to flinch awake and look around the library to find out who made such a noise. The guys quickly acted normal but still peeked over towards you. Your hair becoming a lighter red in annoyance of your disturbed sleep.

“Whoa. Her hair changed color!” Jungkook whisper-yelled, his eyes as big as a frightened bunny.

Disturbed and unable to fall back asleep, you gathered your things and started walking out of the library. Without realizing, your face started resembling features of a cat as you glared at Mr. Filch’s cat, Mrs. Norris. You always had a hatred for that cat, as did the cat with you.

You realized as you heard a few gasps from students nearby that your face must’ve been transforming so you quickly ran out of the library and made your way into the nearest bathroom, which happened to be with Moaning Myrtle. Well damn.

-----------------------------------------------------

The next day, as you walked with Lily and James down the halls, you could hear whispers about you. Metamorphmagi are very rare so of course people would gossip. You let out a groan as you let your head drop down while you walked alongside the Potters. Not watching where you were going, your head collides against a strong surface, or more like a strong chest.

“Whoa, are you alright?”

You quickly look up and lock eyes with possibly the prettiest pair of eyes you’ve ever seen. Your face feeling like it’s heating up, you quickly look back down. “I’m fine, sorry., I wasn’t looking where I was going.” You internally panic as you see your hair started to change into a pinkish color. You quickly grabbed onto Lily and James and began walking away. Taehyung smiled softly as he watched you speed walk away.

“What the hell, Y/N! You bumped into one of the cutest guys in the school, yet you have no idea who he is?” You had practically infuriated your Gryffindor friend. “Look, Lily, he was surely cute but I’ve legit never seen him before.”

“Aren’t you partners with Park Jimin in Potions?” Lily suddenly asked. You let out a slow nod. “Yeah, what does he have to do with anything?” Lily sighed exasperatedly. “The guy you bumped into is Kim Taehyung! He’s one of Jimin’s best friends!” Your mouth made a little ‘o’ shape as you brain processed the information. “So he’s one of the two Hufflepuffs that are always around Jimin?” Lily nodded enthusiastically. “Yes!” You laughed at your friend’s behavior. “You do realize your father is practically one of the greatest wizards of all time yet you’re a huge ass loser, right?”

And that caused Lily to put a spell on your mouth to shut up.

-----------------------------------------------------

After the day you ran into Taehyung, you began seeing him and hearing about him more and more every day.

“Oh my God, did you see the way he ruffled his hair?”

“He looks like a Greek God.”

“His hair looks so shaggy and long, I want to pull on it.”

You rolled your eyes as you heard the girls behind you speak, your hair probably turning some green shade as you continued writing notes in Charms class. Coincidentally, you happened to be in Taehyung’s line of sight and would often catch him staring in your direction. You just figured he was zoned out. He seemed to look lost, almost like he was in his own little world the majority of the time.

You thought nothing of it and continued to write down your notes.

After class, you were on your way to find one of the another friend of yours, Victoire Weasley, but your destination was hindered by the girls who were drooling over Kim Taehyung earlier.

“Yah, Morphie.” You flinched at the nickname given to you but immediately put up a front of unbothered and annoyed. “May I help you?”

“Why was Taehyung staring at you in class? Did you lure him with one of your morphie tricks? Did you make yourself prettier just to get him to like you?” You scoffed at their assumptions, which lead into a fit of laughter. Your hair turned red from how subtly pissed you got. Your laugh immediately coming to a halt and your face wearing the most stoic expression it could muster.

“First of all, I’ve never spoken to Kim Taehyung. Second of all, I like the way I look enough so thank you very much. And third of all,” Your stare became so menacing, you watched as the girls cowered back a bit in fear. “Call me ‘Morphie’ one more time. I dare you.” Your face grew scales, your eyes becoming more snake-like as your tongue became that of a snake’s. You hissed at the girls and they immediately ran. Your face returned to normal and as if nothing had even happened, you continued your way towards your friend.

What you hadn’t noticed was that Taehyung managed to witness the entire encounter with a look of shock and adoration.

-----------------------------------------------------

“And she was all like, ‘Don’t ever call me Morphie again.’ And his face transformed into a snake-like face, It was crazy!” Taehyung had told his group of friends what he had encountered yesterday. All the guys seemed really into the story. Hoseok’s face immediately turning into one of pure horror at the mention of the word, snake.

“So those girls were trying to call out Y/N just because you spent the entire class period practically drooling over her?” Suga scoffed at his younger friend’s actions. “Girls are scary,” Jungkook stated with an almost terrified look on his face. The rest of the guys agreeing. “With the way Y/N defend herself, I’m surprised she wasn’t placed in Slytherin or Gryffindor,” Jimin said with a light chuckle.

The other guys agreed as well. “It’s because she’s freakishly smart. I hear that she even beat Namjoon Hyung during the last few recent tests.” Namjoon groaned. “We don’t talk about that!” The table was filled with laughter and joking around.

-----------------------------------------------------

Soon enough, winter break came and you managed to convince you grandmother to let you stay at the Potters’ home for the vacation. You always enjoyed staying with the Potters. One, because Harry and Ginny were your godparents so they treated you as a part of the family. And two, because Harry would tell you stories about your parents back in the day.

A week into the vacation, you noticed that a certain shaggy-haired, puppy dog-eyed boy lived a few houses down from The Potter household.

You had decided to take a walk and feel the fresh winter air nip at your face. As you walked down the street, you were suddenly hit with a snowball. You gasped at the sudden contact, not knowing where it came from. You looked to your left, which is where the hit came from and realized that someone was hiding behind a snow covered car.

Upon further examination, your eyes widened as the hair sticking out from the top became familiar. You immediately began walking away. Just as you were a few feet ahead, another snowball came in contact with your back. You internally groaned and turned around. You bent down to pick up some snow. You compressed it with your small hands into a ball and threw it in his direction. You landed a hit straight on his head. “Ow!” He groaned as he jumped up from behind the car. You took the opportunity to make another snowball and fling it at his chest. He came out from hiding, acting as if he had been shot. Your soft giggles filling the air as he dramatically fell to the ground, still clutching his chest.

“I have been shot. Oh, goodbye cruel world! I will enjoy a peaceful life… after.. m..y… d...ea..th.” And with that, he dramatically ‘died’ in style. Your giggles became full blown, stomach-hurting laughs, Taehyung swore he’d never heard something more precious.

Immediately after that, the two of you became close. You both hung out when you could and sent letters to each other in the middle of the night. You talked about anything and everything. You like that Taehyung was dorkier than he let out to be. And he loved that you were so kind yet confident when it came to protecting yourself. But soon enough, your break came to an end and it was off to school again.

-----------------------------------------------------

You decided to sit with Lily and Victoire during lunch in the Great Hall. You had told them about your encounter with Taehyung and how you two had become ‘friends’. Was it safe to say that? You never really established what kind of relationship the two of you had become.

Taehyung had as well told his friends about his encounter over the break with you. They were all ecstatic. “You should invite her to sit with us!” Jin exclaimed happily as he realized you were nearby. Taehyung’s cheeks immediately reddened. “N-no she looks comfortable over there with her friends. She might not want to sit over here.” The boys exchanged knowing looks.

“Hyung has a crush on Y/N~!” Jungkook sing-songed a little too loud for Taehyung’s liking. HIs face and ears reddened even more. “No, I don’t!” He exasperated. “Then invite her to sit over here,” Yoongi stated with a smug grin on his face. Taehyung groaned yet he was still hesitating.

“Ya Y/N!” You were surprised to hear your name being called as you looked up and saw that it was Park Jimin. He seemed to be waving you over. Your eyes widened slightly as most people turned their attention towards you. You excused yourself from your two friends and hesitantly walked over.

“Hey, Jimin, long time no see.” You decided to act normal as you made it to the table. You glanced at Taehyung to see him looking down, his ears were poking out of his hair and you could tell they were tinted a bright red. Jimin smiled his infamous eye smile that had the girls all swooning.

“Yeah, how have you been? We heard you had befriended this puppy over the vacation.” Jimin said, in a tone that was almost teasing. Taehyung finally looked up shyly and smiled at you. “Hi Y/N.” You giggle, your own cheeks dusting pink. “Hi, Taehyung-ah.” The guys at the table giggled. You realized your hair was turning a light pink color again and you tried your best to calm down your emotions. “A-anyway, we were wondering if you wanted to sit with us? Maybe? I mean, you don’t have to. We were just wondering- if you know, you wou-” You cut off Taehyung’s rambling with a short, ‘I would love to’, which had him just as flustered.

You still couldn’t believe that the entire school thought of him as a cool guy heartthrob.

this is just part 1 so i hoped you enjoyed and please tell me what you think of it!

Glimpses (3/3)

Summary: Lizzy is slowly coming to terms with her growing feelings for Reddington. - Read on ao3 / tumblr

It’s a quiet evening - no blacklister, no national security threat; and if she closes her eyes Liz can almost pretend that she’s just another normal person enjoying a lazy Sunday in. It’s a welcome change from chasing criminals because as much as she likes the satisfaction of going to bed knowing that she has saved lives, Liz enjoys this just as much - listening to the quiet pitter-patter of rain against the windows while she’s safe and warm inside, tucked cozily into the corner of her couch with a cup of hot chocolate numbing her fingers.

A few days ago Red had waltzed into her kitchen, confidently proclaiming that making a good cup of cocoa was a lost art (one which he excelled in, of course. One didn’t take a class with a French cuisine chef just to come out of it making a “watered-down brew that would rival that abhorrent stuff they tried to pass as chocolate in the Armenian prison Dembe and I once got stuck in on our way to-”). He also took the liberty to stock her embarrassingly bare cupboards with dozens of sweet syrups and gourmet chocolate sprinkles imported from Holland.

Red has taken up what Liz mentally refers to as ‘his’ side of the couch, legs leisurely stretched out on the floor in front of him, his head angled slightly towards her so that he could ask her opinion whenever one of the trivial tidbits on TV peaks his interest.

They’re watching a documentary on ship restoration which caught her eye when she was looking for some background noise to accompany the long-suffering sighs aimed at her late-night paperwork the other day. Mostly because it looked like something Red would enjoy, which apparently is enough of a reason to scramble for the remote control and hit the record button on her DVR.

Still, she finds it surprisingly interesting.

(Although she isn’t above admitting that most of her enjoyment of the program is derived from watching Red’s obvious enthusiasm. Liz is quiet fond of the way his eyes light up in child-like wonder as if he’d love to set out and try it himself - buy a rusty, old, water-worn vessel and fix it all up again.)

Liz gives a content sigh, feels a bit like a cat lazing around in the afternoon sun as she snuggles further into the couch’s cushions.

Closing her eyes, Liz thinks that she had better be careful. She was quickly getting used to this, used to having him around, used to sharing these small moments of intimacy with him - just the two of them tugged away in a safe and quiet corner of the world. It was positively domestic - which is utterly ridiculous, of course. Because he is on the FBI’s Most Wanted list and she is a rookie FBI agent, and that should be enough for anyone to know that they don’t do normal or ordinary or domestic.

Still, she likes these moments more than she’d have thought. Which is why she needs to be extra careful not to slip up and do something stupid.

(Like skipping over that line they once drew oh-so carefully into the sand).

The Hart of Dixie soundtrack is blasting through the speakers of her phone while Liz is busy washing her new favorite blouse - the one Red brought her from his latest trip to Lisbon (the one which curiously, heartwarmingly matches the tie he got for himself on that very same trip).

Liz isn’t too find of washing things by hand; she’s always afraid of accidentally messing up halfway through and ending up with a shrunk, puppet-sized version of her clothes. She could probably just ask Red to take her things to his usual drycleaner, but she doesn’t want to be a bother.

Plus the repetitive motions - hypnotic and soothing as they are - give her some time to think. About what she’ll make for dinner, and about whether she should take the trash out now or wait until tomorrow morning. About when she’d have to renew her gym membership again, about whether she should get her hair cut professionally or invest in a pair of scissors and do it herself instead. About how handsome Red had looked in that beige suit he had worn the other day.

(One of these is not like the other.)

Liz groans in annoyance at herself.

Lately, she finds that she’s been getting incredibly sappy. She tries hard to remember if she has ever felt this way about Tom (or about any of her previous boyfriends for that matter), but she really can’t remember a time when a single glance at Tom’s socked feet sent her heart racing (- which, of course, is an absolutely ridiculous and truly pathetic reaction to have, no matter to whom the feet in question belong).

It’s just that with Red everything seems so significant; every little moment is infinitely precious to her. She wants to treasure every glance, every smile, because with him every little habit tugs at her heartstrings: The way he flicks his tongue against the inside of his cheek in thought. The way he chuckles (deep and throaty, slightly breathless) whenever she manages to catch him off guard. The way he can effortlessly wait for 20 years to open a bottle of Cheval Blanc, but has absolutely no patience for smartphones or tablets. The way his lips fit around a cigar - slowly, gently, sensuously.

Sometimes she wonders, too. About the things she doesn’t know (yet - the romantic in her adds optimistically). Wonders how the nape of his neck would feel under her exploring fingers, wonders if he’d tilt his head to the left or the right when being kissed. Wonders if he’d gasp or moan or whimper if she fitted her body snugly against his and nipped at the round little scar on his neck - her mark on his skin.

With another exasperated groan Liz drowns the blouse and decides to take a cold shower. Maybe that’ll help to clear her head.

When she was in college Liz spent a good deal of her spring break holidays looking after people’s apartments. It was easy money - watering plants, feeding birds or turtles or even the occasional pet amphibian. She had always liked to make a game out of guessing the homeowner’s personality traits based on their interior decor.

Still, usually these homes had come with an intact heater. One that didn’t require a dent-worthy kick just to get started.

“So did you teach Modesty to jump against it whenever she’s feeling cold, or what?”

Liz throws an annoyed glance at the rusty old control panel. If she had known that the heating system in Red’s apartment essentially looked like the set of a post-apocalyptic global warming film she wouldn’t have bothered asking if she could stay over. She might have just as well stayed at her own place instead - broken heater and all.

There’s a long-suffering sigh from the other side of the phone, and Liz can practically see Red scratching his sideburn in thought.

“Have you tried the outlet on the right-hand side? The one with the two markers on it?”

Liz rolls her eyes - more at her own naiveté than at Red’s unhelpfulness. Because whatever made her think that Red - the man who showed up in a three-piece suit to help her paint her kitchen, the man who squinted at the IKEA instruction manual until she couldn’t take it anymore and asked Dembe to assemble her new bedframe instead, the man who had handpicked goons especially for repairing broken dishwashers - why the hell did Liz think that he’d possibly be any help with this?

While Red is still rambling on - trying to remember what did the trick the last time (“a bottle of scotch and the truly delightful company of one Lucy Melbrook” - her lips twitch in barely-concealed distaste), Liz steers determinedly towards Red’s bedroom.

Modesty is still sitting on the couch right where Liz left her earlier, her slow-blinking eyes fixed on the latest episode of Jessica Jones playing on TV. “Don’t eat my ice cream,” Liz mouths accusingly at the cat before ducking into Red’s bedroom.

In a matter of seconds she’s rifling through his closet, fingers brushing against the soft suits and crisp shirts. The smell of fresh laundry mixed with the lingering traces of Red’s cologne tugs at her heart and makes her want to climb into the closet like a child searching for a safe haven during a violent rainstorm.

“Did you get it?”

“Hmm?” Balancing up onto her tiptoes, Liz tugs at one of the neatly folded sweaters lying on a shelf just above her head. Its material feels wonderfully warm and soft; and wow, what a pity, Liz thinks, that Red’ll never see it again because from today on this sweater will come and live with her.

“Oh yeah, sure. It’s working now.” She lies and - momentarily putting the phone aside - quickly slips her freezing arms into the sweater.

On the other side of the line Red is switching topics again, audibly content with the knowledge that she is safe and warm.

Things are quickly spiraling out of control, Liz thinks as she takes a tentative sip of her drink.

Red is hovering around her like a fretting mother hen, the dark look in his eyes clearly betraying his worry. Earlier, he actually pressed a glass of brandy into her hand as if she were some Victorian romance heroine suffering from bouts of hysteria. He even offered to have Dembe run down to the local pharmacy to fetch some vitamins for her.

All because she fainted.

At least that’s what he thinks and Liz’d be damned to correct him. She’d rather have him think that she’s stressed out from catching blacklisters than see the embarrassed discomfort she’s guaranteed to find on his face if he should ever find out that she had merely stumbled over her own two left feet in an attempt to kiss him.

Well, no. That isn’t quite right either. Because saying that she had tried to kiss him would imply an active role on her part, as if she had made a conscious decision to do so when in fact it was more of a passive thing; an automatic turn on her heels to press a quick peck goodbye to the corner of his mouth as if that were a completely normal thing between them.

Her saving grace was that he had turned away the exact moment her brain had caught up with her body, causing her to stumble into him in a flurry of limbs and erratic heartbeats (also, there might or might not have been a humiliating shriek on her part).

Red caught her, of course. If she closes her eyes she can still feel his strong hands grasping at her arms and back, pulling her flush against him (and wow, maybe that whole damsel in distress metaphor wasn’t so far off after all).

Liz steals a look at Red from the corner of her eye. Right now he’s probably trying to come up with a non-offending way to offer her a vacation; Liz can practically hear him wondering if it would be too forward of him to suggest flying her out to some exclusive spa in Luxembourg (fun fact: she isn’t so sure that she’d tell him no).

All the while, she’s sturdily keeping her face turned away from him. Have him think that she’s embarrassed about this whole thing, alright.

But it had felt so right. Completely natural. As if kissing him hello and goodbye and something in-between was an integral part of their relationship, like feeling the warmth of his hand on the crook of her elbow whenever they walk side by side, or the way her eyes tend to drift to his lips whenever he launches into one of his maritime-themed parables.

Liz sighs in resignation and takes another sip of her brandy.

Oh well. Maybe someday.

Sleep comes easier now.

Her once so frequently fraught nightmares starring murderous husbands and the paralyzing panic attacks she encountered during her time on the run from the FBI are slowly ebbing away. She barely wakes up covered in sweat anymore, even manages to keep her eyes closed when she hears the ancient floorboards in her new home creak and groan at night.

The dog helps, too.

Liz is so glad that Red took her to that shelter. She hadn’t realized just how much she missed Hudson (missed having someone who didn’t judge her for eating ice cream for breakfast, who was happy to see her no matter how messed up her makeup and hair was after a full 11 hours out in the field) until this one started wagging its tail at her, happily jumping up and down whenever she returned home from work.

And it’s so nice to have some of that old routine back, too: Getting up at 6 am for an early morning jog around the park, relaxing at a café during lunch break, the dog resting comfortably at her feet, or taking late afternoon walks around the patch of forest down the street.

Sometimes Red joins them.

He’s quiet taken with Kansas (and oh, there’s a story, too. About how Red had laughed at her and admitted to always having wondered whether she had named Hudson after the river or the Sherlock Holmes character), and Liz isn’t shy to admit that his obvious love for Kansas had factored largely into her decision to pick this particular puppy from the joyfully-barking lot.

“Shinrin yoku,” Red breathes after a while. “It’s a word the Japanese have for moments like this; strolls through the woods where you soak up the sun falling in through the leaves. I find them incredibly memorable, don’t you?”

Liz tears her eyes away from Kansas who is bounding animatedly through the bushes, most likely chasing an imaginary mouse or squirrel or bird.

Red’s eyes are closed, and for a moment the sight of him - the cool winter light flickering in mosaic patterns across his face - takes her breath away. Liz feels her fingers twitch with the urge to reach out to him, to tug him closer, to let her fingers trace over the light falling onto his face.

With effort, Liz turns away. Shrugs her shoulders.

“Not too many leafs around though.”

Red opens one eye, briefly looks at her before closing it again and heaving a sigh as if put-out.

“I see poetry is lost on you.”

She huffs in indignation, but takes a step closer anyway. When he starts to move again - further down into the depth of the woods, the branches overhead casting their shadows in an artful crisscross pattern onto the wistful expression on his face - Liz gives a contented sigh and slips her arm through his.

It’s Thursday evening which means that it’s video game night at Aram’s.

Liz doesn’t know how he did it, but somehow Aram has managed to receive an advanced copy or some highly anticipated video game (Liz secretly suspects that he’s used his FBI credentials to get his hands on it, made up some excuse about needing the game for national security reasons), so now she’s giggling uncontrollably while her avatar is chasing zombies around an alpine holiday resort.

Sometimes Liz thinks about asking Aram to invite Red over, too. She thinks he’d enjoy it - not the actual games (she’s quite certain that he’d be terrible at those, if she’d ever get him to play, that is) but rather the quiet comforts of spending an evening among friends (real ones who didn’t try to shoot him as soon as he turned his back on them). The only thing stopping her from asking is that it would probably make Aram uncomfortable to hang out with Red; Liz can just imagine him fidgeting on the couch next to Red, always sneaking glances at Red’s glass to anticipate when he’d need another refill of his drink.

(Still, she’d love to one day persuade Red to race her in a round of Mario Kart, thinks it’d be so much fun to watch him laugh and snicker as he leaned this way and that, shoulders bumping against hers with every turn.)

Although he’s certainly warming up to modern technology, Liz thinks as she smiles fondly down at the phone in her lap.

Lately, Red’s made a habit of texting her. They’re mostly quick messages (always perfectly worded, no misspellings or cute emoji, but rather matter-of-fact instead) letting her know that he’s leaving for Brussels or Stockholm or Milan, asking her if she needed a ride to work, or - on more than one occasion - offering up sarcastic remarks about Ressler’s downrightalarming inabilities as an agent of the US government (or as a human being, if you’d rather interpret the frequent comparisons to mindless robots this way).

Right now, her phone’s screen is lighting up to display a short but endlessly sweet Sleep well, along with a promise to have Dembe arrange a meeting with her as soon as they are back in the country.

With a smile on her face that is just this side of besotted Liz puts the phone away and focuses back on the game, all the while feeling a tingling sensation inside her chest at the thought that he is thinking about her even though he is currently halfway around the world.

Liz’s least favorite subject in school had always been English. No matter how much she had tried, somehow she had never been able to grasp the concept of rhetorical devices - the similes and metaphors and anaphora (the trying smile of her homeroom teacher still haunted her to this day). She still remembers sitting down with Sam in the evenings, sapping distractedly at a glass of grape juice while he tried to explain to her the subtle nuances of literary irony.

Now, looking at Red, she thinks that she finally understands.

When he had asked her to their latest meeting point, Liz hadn’t been able to suppress the laughter that had bubbled up inside of her, because really? The International Spy Museum?

He doesn’t seem to mind though. Just chuckles self-consciously at himself, and Liz wonders if he even cares about how ridiculous he looks striding through an exhibit dedicated to suave film noire spies and larger-than-life double agents in his black coat and leather gloves (and yes, the fedora - of course).

Liz keeps her eyes glued onto him as he looks at a set of ancient television screens playing scenes from various le Carré movies. There’s this look of childlike awe plastered onto his face, and Liz can’t quite keep her lips from twitching in fond amusement whenever he discovers a new piece that peaks his interest (something newer, something shinier yet).

She doesn’t mind seeing the exhibit even though she’d rather look at modern art than black and white photographs of gentleman gangsters (she’s got her own to look at whenever she wants anyway). But still, she feels incredibly pleased that he has asked her to accompany him. She’s always eager to learn something new about him - things he’s interested in, things he’s passionate about.

Liz secretly suspects that he doesn’t care too much about this blacklister, that maybe all he cared about was finding a reason to ask her to the museum. Which is completely ridiculous of course, because she hopes that by now he knows that she would have tagged along without an imminent threat of national security being dangled in front of her like a carrot on a stick.

Suddenly, a group of tourists clatters past them right and left, and Liz can feel Red step into her personal space to avoid losing her among the throng of animatedly chattering Europeans.

Liz - suddenly finding herself eye to eye with the violet swirls of his Paisley tie (the one he got from his trip to Lisbon, Liz notes smugly) - tilts her face up to offer him a shy smile that is half annoyance at the sudden lack of privacy and half amusement at the absurdity of the whole situation.

He doesn’t return it though; merely keeps his eyes trained on her, a bit pensively, before slowly cocking his head to the side. For a second Liz thinks that she could probably never grow tired of looking at him - of simply standing still in the rapidly revolving world just to take in his face - the sharp cheekbones, the sweet upturn of his nose, the miniscule wrinkles around his eyes - so unbelievably full of joy and laughter for someone who has undergone so many hardships.

After just a moment, her breath hitches in her throat as she feels his hand slowly move from its resting place against the small of her back. She tries hard not to shudder as she feels it brush along her hip, his fingers burning a trail through the thin fabric of her blouse, and Liz swallows hard at the tingling sensation, can feel it deep inside her belly - a burning, hot desire to grasp his lapels and pull him impossibly close.

But then his hand gently, tenderly clasps her own in his, and Liz is left with nothing but lightheadedness at the sweetness of it all (at the sweetness of him).

Smiling shakily, she gives his hand a squeeze, even as she mentally cherishes this moment: the feel of his hand, the warmth of his skin against her own, the texture of his slightly rough, gun-trigger calloused thumb as it brushes shyly over her knuckles.

It’s all a bit too much and yet not nearly enough.

Slowly, the tourists move on, fluttering past them once again to look at a set of black and white photographs taken during the Cold War in East Berlin in one of the adjoining rooms. Their chatter gradually dies away and leaves them in a contemplative silence.

For a split second Liz is afraid that he’ll let go now, move away from her as if nothing had happened, launching into one of his stories to shatter the remnants of their intimacy like a hammer thrown into a glass window. But to her surprise, he stays close, doesn’t let go of her hand as he gently tugs her towards a set of coal sketches in the corner of the room which he “can’t wait to show you, Lizzy! They are truly marvelous!”

As he shares his thoughts on the drawings with her, Liz repeatedly finds her attention drifting to his thumb which continues its absentminded brushing over the back of her hand, and Liz can’t help but grin uncontrollably as she leans a bit closer into his side.

When she looks up at him a moment later her smitten smile is mirrored on his face.

Inwardly swearing to herself to never wear shoes again, Liz sighs in delight as she slips out of her heels and props her aching feet (sans murderous high heels) on the coffee table. As much as she adores the thrill of going undercover with Red she could really do without the shoes.

She nips at her glass of Merlot, her eyes never leaving Red’s form as he snoops through her things. There’s this look of utter fascination on his face which she finds absolutely endearing, as if he’s looking at Van Gogh’s sunflowers instead of her assorted trinkets.

“You don’t mind, do you, Lizzy?” He asks absently as he moves on to her book collection, and for a moment Liz allows herself to wonder if he’s surprised by what he finds there.

She doesn’t read much, doesn’t find the time for it between chasing criminals and attending high-end functions in painful shoes. But when she does get around to it it’s usually non-fiction (the ones which are both interesting small-talk material for undercover missions and just boring enough to make her fall asleep in no time after a long day at work) or ( - her recent favorite) - absurdly predictable dime store crime novels.

Liz shrugs. “Well, you let me go through your things, so I guess it’s only fair. Plus, you don’t honestly think I believe that this is the first time you’ve gone through my stuff.”

“Oh, that’s not fair, Lizzy!” He gives a disappointed click of his tongue, and Liz rolls her eyes at his exaggerated (and completely unfounded) display of hurt. “There are a lot of your things I haven’t gotten a chance to see yet. Like your photo albums or your old college yearbooks.”

He pauses for a beat. “Or your underwear drawer.”

Liz snorts in amusement and tries hard to keep the laughter from spilling out of her.

“Keep dreaming, Reddington.”

#68 comes with a truly ridiculous nickname (“The Phantom”; and you know you’ve chosen the wrong moniker if even the Concierge of Crime can’t keep a straight face when saying your name) and an even more outrageous background of crime (a graphic novel-worthy origins arc if there ever was one).

They are at Red’s latest safe house. The whole interior is very modern, very simplistic. It’s a bit bare for her taste, and if the barely concealed look of annoyance which appears on his face whenever he accidentally bumps into the oversized lamp looming large in the very center of the living room is anything to go by, Red isn’t too fond of the apartment either.

His things are easy to discern against the cold art deco backdrop. There’s a single record (Miles Davis) leaning against a set of silver picture frames filled with stock photo images of artificially smiling families; and the stack of international newspapers (English, Russian, French; all heavily dog-eared) on the coffee table does surely not belong to the same person who has gone through the neatly organized arrangement of arthouse+Architecture brochures lying abandoned on the far corner of the couch.

Lying spread-eagled among the papers is an edition of Rushdie’s Midnight's Children, its cover still new and shiny, and Liz feels her heart flop around in her chest as she remembers having fleetingly mentioned that it was her favorite only a few days ago.

She wonders if that’s why he bought it. Of maybe he had simply thought that it sounded interesting and worth checking out. Or maybe just wanted to see what kind of stories she liked (so he could pick his anecdotes accordingly). Or maybe he wanted to read it so he’d be able to discuss it with her, something along the lines of ‘Oh, speaking of #13 and his irksome penchant for setting fire to church buildings - what did you think about Rushdie’s use of religious imagery?’.

Whatever his reason, Liz doesn’t care. Because the only thing that matters is what she’ll take away from this (and this is what she chooses: Red reading her favorite book simply because he cares about her.)

There are footsteps behind her, and when Liz turns towards him it’s with a blinding smile on her face.

Liz feels like dozing, and if the band stays true to their apparent penchant for slow-paced songs she’ll be asleep in a matter of minutes.

They are at some cozy little vineyard restaurant somewhere in Calabria, Italy. The food is great, the wine is wonderful, and surprisingly enough the company is getting along for once. For some reason Red is on his best behavior and even Ressler manages to bite down on his usual hostility towards his self-proclaimed nemesis.

Maybe it’s the school-trip feeling of chasing a blacklister abroad, or maybe it’s simply the lovely atmosphere - romantic live music, the stars glowing brightly above their heads, the crispy evening breeze ruffling their hair…

Liz steals a glance at Red from the corner of her eye. He’s sitting right next to her, politely listening to Aram’s ramblings about some new online game or other (Liz is convinced that Red doesn’t even understand half of it; as far as she knows he has never even played a single game of Snake on that ancient flip phone of his). His thigh is brushing against hers whenever he leans forward to take a sip of his beer, and Liz is thankful for the extra warmth his body exudes.

There’s a woolen blanket draped over their laps. Earlier, Liz had used it as an excuse to scoot up closer to him when she had noticed that he had barely been covered due to some misguided attempt to let her have most of it. Idiot.

In order to keep herself from falling asleep Liz lets her fingers play absentmindedly with the paper wrap on her beer. It’s some local brew, dark and woodsy - if there’s even such a thing. She has never been good at actually tasting alcohol; she had always been more of the throw-back-your-head-and-down-it-all kind of girl.

She yawns, her eyelids heavy. Maybe she should just excuse herself and head to bed. The pastoral four-poster bed in her hotel room (an upgrade from their FBI-sanctioned 3-star motel - courtesy of their favorite criminal) looked simply divine, and Liz can’t wait to throw herself onto it and never move again.

She’s just about to get up when all of a sudden she’s wide awake again. Because beneath the blanket Red’s fingers have brushed against her thigh.

It’s just a quick, fleeting touch of the tip of his fingers against the bare skin where her dress has ridden up, and yet it has practically set her nerve endings aflame. His cool fingers felt so good against her summer-heated skin, and for a split second Liz can’t help but imagine what it would feel like if he’d keep going, if he’d let his fingers trace up the inside of her thigh and slip beneath the flimsy fabric of her dress…

Liz doesn’t think it was intended though, cannot quite imagine that he’d be daring enough to want to rest his hand on her knee or thigh. But after just another moment his intention becomes clear as his hand finds hers under the blanket, his fingers slowly slanting over hers.

It feels so wonderful that Liz can feel her heart burst. She wants to cry, wants to laugh, wants to turn towards him and beam at him. The only thing stopping her is Ressler and Aram and Samar sitting right there with them, and while Samar probably wouldn’t even bat an eye, Liz is sure that Ressler would make a scene.

Careful not to give anything away, Liz turns to look at Red’s face. He isn’t looking at her, instead he’s nodding at something Ressler said, the perfect picture of an engaged listener. Liz knows better though, is quite certain that in his mind he’s thinking about her because all the while his thumb keeps brushing soothing patterns over the back of her hand.

And it’s so sweet, so endearing, that suddenly Liz is finding it difficult to breathe.

Hours later, he’s walking her to her room.

He’s staying at a safe house just out of town; at some cozy, little apartment filled with Greek figurines (she’s badgered Dembe into showing her some pictures of the place), so this must be a huge inconvenience for him. He could have just left with Dembe right away, she wouldn’t have minded. Still she’s grateful for this, grateful for the few extra minutes his lingering affords her with him.

But just the same, something feels off about him.

For one, there’s none of his usual flair - the confidence, the infuriating smugness, the nonchalant devil-may-care attitude he usually dons on like a second skin - it’s all gone. Instead he seems smaller somehow. Almost nervous. All the signs are there anyway - the uneasy huff of laughter, the biting of the inside of his cheek, and - yes, there it is, the constant drumming of his fingers against his thigh, the brim of his fedora squished against the soft wool of his suit pants.

He looks as if he’s working himself up to say something important, and Liz wonders if this is it. If they’re finally crossing that one line that’s still left in the sand, a glaring bright red reminder of what cannot be.

Within seconds, her heart is racing painfully inside her rip cage, drum-drum-drumming away to her frantic thoughts (about when she had last applied lip balm, about if her perfume was still smelling fresh and flower-y, about whether she should rest her hands on his shoulders or against his chest when he finally moved in-).

But all of a sudden Red seems to snap out of it, merely nods at her and palms his fedora back onto his head. And before she can make sense of what just happened between them (or rather: what hadn’t happened between them) he’s turning to leave. It’s just that Liz isn’t quite ready to let him just yet. Not now that they’re halfway there, not now that her treacherous brain has dangled taunting images and daydreams of what could be in front of her.

“Red - Raymond. Wait!”

He turns to face her once more and Liz has barely enough time to register the surprised look on his face before she’s closing the distance between them.

(And oh - oh!)

His lips feel absolutely wonderful - so soft, so warm against hers that she has to bite back a moan.

Red has gone completely still though, and Liz thinks that she must’ve caught him by surprise because wasn’t this the logical culmination of all that has passed between them in the last few months? Of all the stolen glances and loving touches, all the fond smiles and little gestures, all the glimpses of what could be if they’d only be brave enough to try?

And suddenly she’s scared out of her mind - scared that with just one kiss she has ruined everything, that she’ll drive him away, that he’ll never look her in the eye again. Feeling desperate now, Liz brings her hand up to rest over his heart. It’s racing erratically beneath her fingers, and Liz is glad for it, glad to feel that this is as real to him as it is to her.

And then he’s kissing her back - finally.

Liz can barely keep herself from breaking away and squealing in delight. Her whole body is brimming with excitement; she feels like a kid on Christmas morning, only that this is better because she is pretty sure that this isn’t just a one-time-only- but rather a forever kind of kiss - fumbling fingers and squished noses and breathless sighs.

When they part Red is beaming at her. Warmly. Brightly.
