@lightningxmagic asked: I thought we had agreed not to lie to each other. (Violet to Xaden.. for science)

A hand came up to run through his raven hair as an exasperated . "Violence." it wasn't as easy as Violet seemed to think it was. She already knew more than she should, more than enough to get her killed if the wrong people found out what she knew. He wasn't just responsible for her, he had all the marked kids to look out for too. "I told you that I promised to tell you what you needed to know, and that was not something you needed to know. I didn't lie to you." he just hadn't told her. I'm sure such a distinction will be comforting to the Silver One. Sgaeyl's voice rang in his head and he immediately blocked her out with an onyx wall not wanting to hear it.

The painful wallop between his shoulder blades was what Ben felt first, followed by his world spinning off its axis when he was suddenly slammed to the ground. His g.un went skittering across the floor, and then a pair of thighs squeezed around his head in a vicious pinch.

Despite his panic, Ben managed to grit out, "Can't you buy me dinner first?" before fumbling inside his coat. Grasping his switchblade, he drove the knife in above the woman's knee -- brisk, but not deeply -- which allowed him the room to roll free. Struggling for breath, he held up a hand and cautioned, "Wait! Wait, I can help you with that..." Exposing his palms to show he was no longer a threat, he pleaded, "I just want to talk..."

@lightningxmagic asked: [ appear ] for one muse to show up at the other’s doorstep injured ( for Bucky, from Natasha if you’d like )

injury/hurt prompts bc reasons | Accepting

Bucky is relaxing on his couch, flipping through tv channels before landing on a movie. He's about halfway through the movie when he hears a noise at his door. He climbs over the back of the couch, grabbing his gun as he walks toward the door. He hears a knock at his door just as he reaches the door.

He slowly opens it and peeks out, squinting a bit before his eyes go wide when he sees...

"Natasha?" He opens the door fully, tucking his gun into the waistband of his pants. "What the hell happened to you?" He asks, ushering her inside and shutting the door behind them both.

Sitting out on the steps of the Chateau's porch, JJ popped open a beer and stared out into the yard. As he took a swig, he listened to the cicadas buzzing in the trees and the crickets chirping. All he could think about was the fact that life was never going to be the same. It wouldn't be long until they were out of here, John B and Sarah had found the gold, they were rich. Of course he had Kie by his side, but he wasn't sure if things were going to even be able to stay the same now that everyone had money. He wouldn't let it change him, but he knew that someone was going to, whether it be John B or Pope even. . . Maybe he was just thinking too damn much. He hadn't even heard Kie come up, actually, he was too lost in his own world to pay much attention to the cold beer in his hand. He startled slightly when she approached. "Oh, hey Kie." JJ offered a smile, though it faded quickly. "What's up?"

cassian is quick to do as ordered by the female, knowing that any one-on-one time with her that isn't spent arguing is a miracle — something to be taken full advantage of when she's willing to give it. watching her closely as she stands to grab for the pieces of cake in question, he'll accept the plate and fork with a soft thank you, taking a bite just as she offers him something more; is the male dreaming? eyes are wide in mild surprise at first, but he quickly recovers, clearing his throat. ❝ uhm... what's your favorite book? ❞ she's always reading, after all. not to mention, it's a safe question for them both, one cassian desperately hopes she answers.

nesta knows no one can even try to understand and help her if she never says anything to them about what had happened, what is still in her mind. but she also isn’t ready to say much of anything about it, not convinced that she wouldn’t fall apart the second she tries. “there is only one correct answer to that question, and it is chocolate.” it’s an easy piece of information about her to pass on to the male. it’s a start for her. the woman stands up from her chair, walking over to the two plates the house has left for her on the counter. she grabs the plates and forks before walking back to the table and setting them down for her and cassian. “sit.. before i change my mind about spending time with you.” not that she ever really would. she would deny it to anyone’s face but she’d adored cassian for a long time. “… you can ask three questions. i don’t have to answer, but you can ask.” more of a start.

I know what you’re thinking. It’s all my fault. I wanted to get Lucy alone on a boat, in the middle of nowhere, so that we could talk and have some time alone.

That wasn’t the plan. Just- hear me out, okay? How was I supposed to know the motor was going to give up on us half-way through the tour?

JJ isn’t here to help me figure out what the heck is going on. Now we’re… stuck, until someone decides to come find us. Or until we figure this out on our own.

But, I mean, it could be worse. I could be stuck with the Sheriff.

John B falls back against the boat and lets out a long, expected sigh. This would happen to them. He should expect it, given him and his friends’ track records of shit luck. Despite it all, Lucy’s comment paints the start of a smile on his face, and, as he turns, a few wild curls fall into his eyes.

At least she’s still joking around.

“Mmmm, sorry. I lost the money about a mile back.” John B frowns for dramatic effect. “But. If we survive, I’ll buy you anything you want… within reason.” He lifts a pinky in her direction.

@lightningxmagic asked: we're all a little broken in our own ways… in places no one might see. (Lydia to Charlie)

She nodded. "You're not wrong." She sighed a little as her fingers wringed around the scrunchie around her wrist. Lydia was right, everyone was a little broken in someway. Charlie wasn't someone that liked showing the broken parts of herself. She preferred to keep everything upbeat, keep herself happy. Unfortunately for the blonde, Lydia had seen her in some of her worst moments. "I think some people hide it because they don't want people to realise."

“Happy birthday, my love. I didn’t get you a real present but.. you’ve given both of us one. I’m with child, the doctor confirmed this morning.” (Love, Daphne in our rendezvous verse xD)

In truth, birthdays were never affairs that Benjamin was fond of. The whole fuss of it -- or rather, being fussed over for himself -- made him feel cheap and self-seeking, yet when Daphne expressed an interest, he couldn't help but give in to the allure of being doted upon.

When she placed her hands over his chest, announcing the words he'd long since yearned for, Benjamin’s eyes grew wet and he took her face between his hands.

“Are you sure?” he asked, fondly pressing his forehead to hers.

When she nodded and gave the fated yes, his lips tipped upward and he grinned, stroking his thumbs down the slope of her cheeks. “I’m to be a father?” When she nodded again, Benjamin breathed a bright, disbelieving laugh, already bouncing on the tips of his toes.

“Can you feel him?” he asked, boyishly gleeful as he moved his hands to rest over her stomach. Cupping Daphne through the fabric of her gown, he felt around with an unmistakable sparkle to his eye. "Of course, I suppose it could be a girl -- even better -- but I can't wait to meet them regardless." Fond and beaming, he took her hands and drew them to his lips. “Thank you… In only a few months’ time, you have made me the happiest I’ve ever been.”

[legends-and-savages]

A nod from him. "Yes I know the plan." He said. "We'll get where we're going in and out." He wasn't going to borrow trouble and say something like with no problems because that would just invite trouble not that his sister didn't invite them on her own. But this was supposed to be simple, and they could get through it. "At this point it's not the first time we've done something crazy for my sister."

Lidia waited until everyone had gotten into the van before she started driving, whispering with Declan about how to get into the cameras and security system and what to start with dismantling and shutting down so they would be undetected. Once she got him set up and working, her attention turned to Ruhn using the rearview mirror. “And you.. take your sister and make sure she gets where she needs to be, okay?”

JJ was sleeping on the Routleges's couch. He was too tired to look up at who was walking around. It was either John B or Jessie. The shuffling of feet sounded light. Trying to be quiet as to not wake him. "Why the hell are you walking around this early?" JJ asked, his face still smooshed into the couch pillow. "Are you going to work?" He finally lifted his head up. Adjusting his eyes to the natural light coming through the windows.

"Why did you even find me?"

Sarah yells, getting up off the lawn chair. It's late, and she really shouldn't be yelling, but there's alcohol moving through her body at light-speed. Liquid courage.

"You show up out of nowhere. You can't tell me anything about what happened, but you can pretend everything's okay. Now you're trying to leave again, and I'm supposed to, what? Accept it?"

Someone in the distance tells her to shup up. She almost flips them off. "If you leave again, don't come back. I'm tired of playing make-believe."

@lightningxmagic asked: “ the problem is you keep thinking i’m a good person." (Lydia to Lycus)

"The problem is that you don't." the wolf told her pointedly. "You forget I have known others who are not good people. I am not a good person." he let his blue beta eyes flash at her. "You on the other hand do not fall into that category. No matter how much you believe you do." Could the redhead be blunt? Could she stop a man with a glare? Sure, it was a couple of the things he enjoyed about her. Didn't mean she wasn't a good person.
