In and out, rapid breaths.

You woke suddenly from your sleep. Tears falling from your eyes, gasping for air as a chill clings to your body. The same nightmare plagued your mind once again leaving you feeling alone in the dark. But you weren’t alone as you felt a body shift behind you. He always seemed to know when the demons in your mind were causing you trouble.

“Sweetheart, just breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth. That’s it keep it slow”, Steve says as a comforting arm wraps around you. The tears still fall as you try to control your breathing. 

In and out, slow deep breaths.

You were at the point of a breakdown over the horrors you dreamt of. Images danced in your head of all the death and destruction you saw when Thanos came to earth. Screams echoed in your head as people were lost. There was nothing you could do to fix it. No matter how hard you fought, death surrounded you. You felt you had blood on your hands, no it wasn’t blood but dust of those who were lost.

In and out, slow deep breaths.

His warm, firm hand rubbed soothing circles on your back as you let out a deep sigh. You knew Steve struggled as well and had his own nightmares. Those of seeing Bucky die in front of him yet again haunts him daily. But Steve doesn’t say anything about it. Steve is here comforting you, trying to soothe your soul. He could easily kick you out of his bed over these nightmares but he stands firm you’re not going anywhere. Steve is your light in the darkness.

Your head leans back onto his shoulder and he kisses you softly on your forehead. The chill is now gone, chased by his warmth. Your breathing is slowing down as the screams in your head disappear. 

Your heart clenches in your chest, this is unconditional love. You and Steve have been together for many years now. The man out of time who needed a friend and confidant. You can recall all the nights he needed you and now he is here with you. 

In and out, slow deep breaths.

Your mind starts to slow down and you embrace your lover. Things were going to get better. Tomorrow your mission is to reverse the snap and bring everyone back. It had to work, this is what you’ve been training and planning for. Whatever it takes is the mantra everyone repeats like a prayer. Your friends will all be back. This has to work.

In and out, slow deep breaths.

You lay back down on the bed cuddled up with Steve. He whispers encouraging words as he continues to rub your back and give light kisses to your face. Steve knows that any sacrifices made tomorrow will help them succeed.

Your breathing is slow and even as you fall asleep in the warmth of his arms. Little do you both know that you won’t see past tomorrow. A sacrifice will be made for the sake of the planet. The one chance that Doctor Strange mentioned will come to fruition. All Steve can do tonight is savor the moments he has right now for you. He won’t be able to save you from the demons this time tomorrow.

In and out, last breath taken

YOU KNOW THAT FEELING? DEEP BREATH SYDLUCA THE BEAR SEASON 3

That feeling that you get when someone looks at you and you can tell that they are happy that you're there?

That feeling of peace you get knowing they're not gonna yell at you or ignore you or dismiss your opinion?

On the first hello...

That they want to listen to you and be YOUR PEACE?

Deep breath...

That dragon flew down the hill pretty fast, Performance. Give the poor guy a break.

I LOVE roller coasters, but get a little overstimulated while riding them. One time, I held onto the safety bar so tight my hands went numb. And I was just SO out of it for a few minutes. Not gonna stop me from riding another one, though.

sometimes i have a beautiful day printing where all the flowers are in bloom and the birds are singing and every song on the radio is the one i want to hear next and every single print (save maybe a couple, i am not a god) comes out beautiful and perfect and the run is huge and sumptuous and printing is my favorite thing in the world and sometimes i have a day printing where the clouds are forming overhead and the birds have all died and every single song is my least favorite in the world and every single print is smudged or over inked or under inked or off center or my ink has turned to a gummy tacky mess and i want to throw all my materials off a cliff and i hate printing with all my heart. unfortunately i regret to say that today is veering quite close to the latter. but we stay silly

So I wrote a Drabble today. It’s something I have never done before. No happy ending, TW angst, and death regarding Infinity War and Endgame. It was just something that came to me that I wrote in an hour. So hopefully you will enjoy it. I should be able to release it by the end of the week. Hopefully, this will motivate me to write again.

Pairing: Steve Rogers x Reader

Warnings: Angst, Talks of Nightmares, talks of death related to Infinity War and Endgame. Sad ending.

i think more people need to start making art with their hands again regardless of how bad at it they think they are. i think more people should start reading and writing poetry even if they just want to feel pretentious even if they're not sure what it "really means" even if they're not sure if they "get it". i think more people should start mailing their friends and loved ones letters and packages on a regular basis even if a text is faster. i think we should all take a deep breath and remember how warm the sun is on a bright, calm day. i think it would be nice.
