RE4R Survival Fic | Leon's terrible sense of humor
...
Ashley laughs, then covers her mouth in shock. That shouldn’t be funny, she shouldn’t find that funny, not with all the death that has happened—
Leon’s wince turns into a wry smile. “Don't feel obligated laugh at my terrible jokes, it’s okay, I won’t feel bad.”
“No, it’s…” Ashley thinks for a second. It isn’t as hard to catch a breath. “It helps?”
“Great, my weird sense of humor is rubbing off on you.” Leon glances skywards. “Yet another thing that your dad’s probably not gonna like.
Ashley snorts. “I’m an adult, he won’t care.”
“Hm, won’t he?” Leon asks, grimacing. “He’s gonna think I am a bad influence— hell, I am a bad influence.”
“As long as I don’t start swearing. He doesn’t like it when people swear.”
“Oh, shit, really?” Leon asks, eyebrows raised. “Thank god he’s not listening to this, fuck.”
Ashley laughs out loud. Leon grins. How does he do that so effortlessly? Is comforting hysterical girls part of his training?
“I’m glad you think I’m funny; I don’t think Hunnigan has cracked a single smile and I’ve been talking to her for hours.”
“That’s because you’re not funny, Condor,” Hunnigan says, interrupting her silence.
Leon’s shock at her comment might be fake, but it still makes Ashley giggle.
“Ashley is laughing, I must be sorta funny,” Leon argues.
“Don’t quit your day job, Condor.” Hunnigan replies, voice scathingly dry.

I would like to run over Lexa, resurrect her, kiss her better and run over her again.
She loved (loves) you for fuck sake, she told you that and you broke up with her?!
Listen.
I know she had reasons, and I know Clarke is not entirely innocent here (even though until now she's just a babe but I trust you), but I would be so furious if I was Clarke when Lexa will eventually confess her feelings.
Can you imagine feeling not enough for someone you love? To know to be not enough because even though you are indeed soulmates, the person you are sure to be THE one, broke up with you? And you know why, or maybe you think you do, but she's still rejected you.
I'm so mad.
I know Lexa comes from a place of survival instinct and pain, but I'm so furious.
SHE TOLD HER SHE LOVES HER.
SHE SHOWS YOU THAT.
I'm... I'm so sad for the both of them, but because I was once in Clarke shoes, it's so sad I want to hug her.
In most of the ff Lexa is the one portrait as tough and still fragile, strong and delicate, but to observe Clarke being put aside (I know they still keep seeing each other, and being cute to each other and loving but it's... Not... You know? Enough?).
And to marry someone that you know, you KNOW is not the one for you but you do it anyway because you gave up on your soulmate, you chose the second best option... I really wanna run over Lexa.
I want to hug her really tight and punch her with love until she understands.
And then I want to hug Clarke and push their faces together while I whisper "And now... Kith... AND STAY TOGETHER OR I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN."
Sorry.
My doctor would be a little bit disappointed about my heart rate right now.
I read this 3 times cackling 😭 (not the part about you, that im very sorry for and I'm sorry you can relate 😔 if you ever wanna send asks aboit Clarke's perspective you can! It help balance this out a bit because so far everything has been filtered through Lexa's pov)
Listen these are all valid things to feel. Lexa is very stupid in some ways, but those ways are indeed born out of insecurity and problems with accepting her self-worth.
I do want to point tho, just as a possible way to kind of... console the anger we all feel here, Clarke was not at all alone in how much she threw herself into this relationship. Lexa absolutely, 100%, just melted herself into Clarke. This 19 year old kid went from having no stability beyond her own work ethic, and no one who she felt cared about her, to having this sarcastic, mouthy, and genuinely weird little blonde lady who was very pretty and very much in love with her. And she did devote herself and her time and every ounce of her disgustingly robust affections to Clarke whenever they were together. Lexa forgot the world just to be near her, because that was obviously the only place she was meant to be.
But that was the problem.
Just how much she actually devoted herself and her time to Clarke became the problem. I mean it did more than that, there are other thoughts and emotions and insecurities at play that Lexa will word-vomit out eventually, bUT the crux of it all came down to her not having the emotional maturity to know how to balance a love that big, along with everything else.
But she never stopped loving Clarke. Not once. And while, no, she wasn't entirely truthful with Clarke or herself about what kind of love for years, and while it certainly wasn't "enough" (i know, for lack of a better word here), it was still incredibly palpable to anyone around her. It was tangible and demonstrative enough that it kept Clarke right there with her for almost a decade. It was intense enough and blatant enough that Costia gave up even trying to compete in under a year. There is just no questioning it when they're together. Everyone sees it pretty much immediately: Lexa is head over heels in love with that girl.
And that was the thing... Clarke saw it too. She felt it every single day.
She's just kinda stupid too 🥴
So I hear you, I do. Breathe lol. Check the pulse bby it's ok I promise. Just distract yourself with thoughts of them married with lil Griffin babies that Lexa cooks up herself simply because she loves Clarke that much

my beloved and beautiful, cultured mutuals and followers. what the hell should a winery's interior look like. i want to make one in minecraft but i am a hermit that never leaves my hole and i've never been to one.
google is, as always, useless bc im just getting the touristy pictures of the outside, or like, pictures of barrels, or stock photos of white people sipping out of fancy glasses and laughing together in blurred indoor backgrounds.
so like. obviously a room to store wine, and to make/process the wine, but what the hell else should be in here. i cant find any pictures.
