last line tag game

tagged by @bluewonderer. Sort of. :)

“You people take all the fun out of dying,” Zoro said.

Tagging @humantrampoline85, @post-and-out, @chibisquirt, @lightshadowverisimilitude and anyone else who'd like to participate because I feel weird tagging a dozen people ^_^

Hartwin Fic: Sleep

Happy Birthday @humantrampoline85! It’s not the 500k you wanted, but I hope this makes you smile anyway. Love you! <3

Tuesday afternoon and it's raining. 

Harry sits on the surprisingly comfortable hotel bed, the headboard at his back. He's not having much luck scrolling through his target's bank records, which are on his tablet now thanks to Merlin's latest Kingsman technology. 

Eggsy lies on the bed beside him, his head in Harry's lap. His laptop is open and he's been sifting through his own set of records. But for the past ten minutes the view on the screen hasn't changed. And Eggsy is lying rather still now. 

The laptop's screen powers down from inactivity. Harry reaches down and lightly runs his fingers through Eggsy's hair. 

Eggsy hums in contentment, not quite asleep yet. He burrows a little deeper into the pillow spread over Harry's lap. 

Harry rubs the back of Eggsy's neck. He cards his fingers through Eggsy's hair. He strokes the soft skin behind Eggsy's ear, a place Eggsy loves to have touched. 

He sets his tablet aside and smiles down at the amazing man in his lap. He honestly doesn't know what he ever did to earn Eggsy's trust, but he will never do anything to lose it. 

**** 

November and it's nearly dawn when Eggsy knocks on the hotel room door. Harry lets him in with barely a grunt of acknowledgement. 

"What's the latest?" Eggsy asks. 

"Falcon left half an hour ago," Harry says. "Eagle and Hawk are still in there." 

"Okay," Eggsy says. He settles himself in front of the monitors showing activity in three rooms in the hotel across the street. "I got this now. You get some sleep." 

"I can't," Harry says. 

Eggsy looks up at him and his heart lurches. Harry's been at this alone for going on forty hours now, and it shows. Painfully. Harry looks almost dazed, like it's all he can do just to keep standing. It's a wonder he even heard the knock on the door. 

"Sure you can," Eggsy says. He goes over to Harry and sets a gentle hand on Harry's shoulder. "I'll help." 

Harry lets himself be led to the bed without protesting. He leans heavily on Eggsy as they go, his head drooping; if they were the same height, his head would be resting on Eggsy's shoulder. He takes off his shoes at an encouraging word and Eggsy turns down the covers. "You just get some sleep. I'll take over." 

For a moment Harry stands there, sort of swaying in his exhaustion. Then he surprises Eggsy by folding him in a warm embrace. "I'm very glad you're here," he murmurs.  

Eggsy hugs him back. "Me too," he says. 

Harry holds onto Eggsy's arm as he climbs on the bed and slides beneath the covers. Eggsy pulls them back up, making sure he's comfortable. 

"Wake me if anything happens," Harry orders. For a moment his grip tightens and his gaze regains some of its focus. 

"I will," Eggsy lies. He leans down and presses a soft kiss to Harry's forehead. "Now go to sleep." He smooths down the blankets over Harry's chest and brushes a wayward curl off Harry's brow. 

Harry is asleep even before Eggsy sits before the surveillance monitors. 

**** 

Middle of the night and Harry wakes from a dream unremembered. He's not even sure what woke him at first, until he feels the slight nudge against his side as Eggsy shifts next to him. 

He understands then. 

He squeezes the hand that has taken hold of his beneath the sheets. Eggsy presses in a little bit closer, and Harry contemplates rolling toward him for a kiss. 

"Love you, y' know?" Eggsy says, his voice muzzy with sleep. 

"I love you, too," Harry murmurs. 

Eggsy's forehead comes to rest on his shoulder. Harry lets his head loll to one side so his cheek nestles on Eggsy's hair. 

In the dark, they sleep.

I really hope they don’t force it on desktop users but I’m sure our days are numbered.

Absolutely.  I mean if tumblr backed off on an update because people hated it, it wouldn’t be tumblr would it?

Hey Sam, once upon a time I remember you mentioning you wanted to put together a reading list that'd be equivalent to a master's program in lit (or something similar? I may be misremembering.) Did that ever come to fruition? I know there's a lot on your plate.

I did actually assemble a syllabus, yes! It was heavily focused towards my personal literary interests, and it was about a year ago so it’s probably a bit out of date, but basically I robbed @jstor blind for every article it had on literary theory, magical realism, creative writing education, etc and then built a syllabus out of whatever I found. 

I mean honestly, once you’ve done a master’s degree or even a pretty good undergraduate degree, you kind of know how this works -- you assemble a reading list, you read it and think critically about it, you write some essays based on your critical thinking, and in a self-guided class you maybe decide your reading was bullshit and you should find something new. You’re lacking in someone to hold you accountable and someone to read through your essay and argue with you, but I figure that’s what friends are for. :D

Rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like).

Most recent line: “You made yourself a threat to my son, and I will burn your life to the ground before I let you betray him again.”

I am not tagging that many people. I don't think I even know that many people, honestly. So @serafaina, @squeeful, @laexploradoraaa and @humantrampoline85 you're up if you want to play!

How are you gonna re-write the mermaid episode?! *chinhands*

Okay so listen. Listen. I wanted to love episode two. It has my darling other otp in it AND it was water based. Hunk and Lance together! Mermaids! Yellow in the water (NOT HER ELEMENT) and Blue in hers!! I wanted so much to love this episode and yet. And yet.

So, basically, same concept. Water based planet. Water based aliens. My biggest beef (aside from...a lot) was that the episode was coming off one of the most harrowing episodes in the entire goddamn season. And it should’ve continued with that same concept! Mermaids aren’t kind; they’re assholes and they’re vicious. Yellow takes longer to get up and going because she’s not in her element. The monster of the episode is definitely still there, but the mermaids use it to attack the Lions because again, ASSHOLES. 

Quintessence! Chase scenes! Battles! 

Someone gets kidnapped (honestly it’s probably Lance) and he rescues himself while Hunk rescues him when he hits a snag. Yellow wakes up. Mermaids counterattack. Hunk is injured and Lance is forced to step up. WIN THE DAY. Green shows up and slams into the ice, helping Blue pull Yellow out of the water. They get back to the castle and Hunk foregoes medical treatment until Shiro gets out. Lance is Not Happy. 

ANYWAY. Possibilities. Whoops. ;)

@humantrampoline85 replied to your post: I was playing around with this awesome writing...

Porn is shockingly exciting to write. I always thought it’d be scary and awful, but no, it’s pretty goddamn fun!

Oh my god yes, ‘85. Yes it is. Especially if there are some great dynamics between the characters. It makes for such an amazing round of porn for both the writer and the characters. I haven’t written porn in so long. This is a great way to spend a Monday night.

I CAN'T WAIT

Thank you both! 

This fic spent forever half done and it’s really great to see excitement for it now that I’m finally getting it off the ground.

humantrampoline85 replied to your post “She doesn't love meeeeeee *chucks on bottle of vodka like a baby*”

Russians. Russians give their children vodka.

ACTUALLY I heard that’s not true, they only suck the bottles like popsicles. I need to ask my friend who was there half a year, I’m getting some mixed information.
