Carla & Lu - No body, no crime
A new chapter in The ties were black, the lies were white, my Elite x Taylor Swift series. This one is not like the others so far - no happy ending, not with that song (IYKYK). It's violent in places and just... sad. Can be read as a mirror piece to Midnights in October.
"What did you do to her?" Carla's voice was loud enough to make a few people look their way, even with the noise level in the bar.
Guzman laughed, probably to show everyone around them how absurd the question was, but it wasn't real. Carla could tell. His hand landed on her forearm, and he wouldn't let her pull away.
"Not you, too," he said loudly, shaking his head like he was disappointed in her.
The pressure on her arm suggested a different emotion, though, and Carla saw it in his eyes, too. He was angry. Furious that she'd dared to call him out in public.
"I want to get Lu back just as much as everyone else." The patrons next to them were still looking, enjoying the free show, and after a second of silence, Guzman cleared his throat. "More, of course. Because she is my wife and I- and I love her."
His voice gave out, and he let go of her arm to wipe his eyes. The bartender pushed another whiskey toward him, "on the house," looking like she might burst into tears of sympathy any second.
Guzman threw back the drink, then got up to leave, a little unsteady on his feet. When he was just past her, he froze for a second. After he had seemingly made up his mind, he turned back around and leaned in so close that Carla could smell the alcohol on his breath. For a second, his cold eyes locked onto hers. Then he whispered in her ear.
"You'll never find her. Never." The words wrapped around her throat and cut off her air. "And you know what they say: No body, no-"
The slap made her hand ache, but it was worth it. For a second, Guzman stared at her, surprised. Then he remembered where they were, got his face under control and was the disappointed, dejected husband again.
"I'm sorry you feel that way," he said before walking out the door.
Carla had to hold on to the bar to not slide off her chair.

The Fall of the House of Usher is many things and I'm making a conscious choice to not scream about every single one of them rn, but what left me staring at a wall in tears is just... kindness. Death was kind. She gave every choice, every reason to stop. She would take these kids anyway but she also regretted having to take them like that. She cared when nobody else would, even though they kept making the wrong choices.
She's never cruel for cruelty's sake. She wasn't cruel to Lenore. She just sent a child to sleep as lovingly as she could, with kind words and kinder touch.
And I don't even know how to express the absolute heartbreak with blinding warmth among the cracks, when Death herself kneels before one man, worst man, honest man, who refused her offer – and thanks him with such respect.
Mike Flanagan, you fucking did it again. Carla Gugino, you... I don't even have words for you. That's a whole-ass masterpiece of human soul, meaning, and searching right there.
Kiss Death with kindness in the end
And when she parts
You part as friends

[[ B is closest to the traditional worm on a string, but A and C have their merits as well. ]]
--
I was working on something else (also, ice worm related,) n' talking to a friend when this wormed it's way into my head;
And then it sparked The Question of Where Would The Eyes Go?

This would be the engineer!charles au 😹 you nailed ittttt. Sadly chapter FOUR of this contains only a sex scene and this little snippet
“Where is Charles?” asked Carlos, aiming for nonchalance and aware that he missed for a mile even before Britta grinned at him.
“In a meeting,” she said, “with Sebastian and Mattia.” There was something mischievous in her eyes, but it didn’t bother Carlos, because she didn’t look malicious. Only amused. “A very important meeting.”
Carlos sighed. “You will not tell me what it is, will you?”
“Nope!” She popped the ‘p’, and walked away laughing. Carlos sighed again, and went to the gym.
hence why i said that chapter four of this is a long way coming, unlike mafia au 🫣 LOVE YOU ❤️

Watching Wayward Pines for potential ST5 inspo bc the Duffers wrote a couple episodes in s1, and when I got to their second (last) episode and their name crossed the screen, I noticed a visual parallel that might already exist on the show…
Recognize it??
It instantly reminded me of that last shot for the opening of s3, with the landscape peaking out behind the Russian base. But when I went back and actually compared the two, holy shit it’s near identical, and not just the landscape.
I didn’t even remember the helicopter being there on the left, not to mention the pillar-esaue contraption at the center. Like… they’re the same picture.!
With them being credited right at that moment, it’s obvious this was an intentional nod to their previous work.
I just thought it was cool so I wanted to share, but in terms of my watch overall, there is a LOT going on that they could pull from. I’m only halfway through s1, though I’ve heard the show goes downhill in s2 so we’ll see how that goes 😂
