thalia-dunne:
âPrecisely why I agreed to your idea for you to help me,â Thalia teased. âYou thought it was just to allow you to be nice, but really it was so I could show you all the hard work I do.â Thalia was only joking. Addie never made her feel unappreciated, and Thalia was grateful for it.
Addie laughed as she dried her hands with a paper towel and dropped it into the garbage. âYes, of course. I bow to the fabulous Thalia Dunne.â She curtseyed and couldnât keep her smile back. âGo ahead, Iâm ready for my next directive...â she teased, though she really did need to be given the next instruction for these brownies.Â
grey-arthur:
âIâm not sure what breed Bertram is,â Arthur admitted, smiling slightly. âHeâs a black cat, and his fur is short. I suppose my only problem would be finding him at night, but..â He gave another slight smile and gestured at his eyes. Of course, with his vampire senses, he didnât really have that issue. âMaine Coons are beautiful animals, though, yes, I can imagine all that fur would be quite the hassle. I used to have hunting dogs with long, thick fur who would come back absolutely slathered in mud.â
Addie nodded as he described his cat. If anyone overheard this, theyâd think it was a pair of crazy cat people in a coffee shop. And they honestly really might be. She lifted her tea and took another sip, glancing to the outside; the weather was better than it had been in weeks. âHunting dogs?â the thought dragged her from her own head, âwhen was that?â she asked, interested in the story behind them. And knowing this town, it was not recently...
jason-grey:
âMaybe this will help. I see thoughts as mental energy that people give out and we just happen have the ability to pick up those energyâ he said, Jason loved science also try using ways to explain things, âright imagining and using your own mental energy to create like a bubble in your mind around you. Keeping everything outâ he added. âIt will help keep your thoughts in and help prevent people from reading yours and also it will limit and stop the thoughts you pick up from othersâ
Her steps were mechanical right now. It was all she could do to keep herself from tipping with the screams from the silence of the town. She followed Jason, letting him attempt to explain things in the most linear fashion she had ever heard anyone spoke. He had a problem and solution laid out perfectly in just a few sentences. âYes...â she managed, looking up to him for just a moment before she looked back to her feet.

She liked this side of him, apparently. Despite how ridiculous he knew it was, it made him hold his shoulders a little straighter, stand a little taller. He walked proudly with virtue beside him. The thought came from somewhere, maybe a book or a poem,, he wasnât sure. But it came up in his head and fit so well to the way he was feeling at the moment. Even if it would end, heâd tuck this memory in with all the dark ones and he would have something to pull up that was better, lighter. A refuge in the storm when he woke up in a cold sweat from nightmares, something to hold onto when the darkness pulled at him. Something to go back to, something to rely on.Â
Still, he shot her a reproachful look when the clear thought was like spoken words between the two of them. Left out of the silent conversation, his boss seemed to be at a loss for words, so Nathan turned and tugged Addie back out of the room. He wasnât going to wait around to be told her couldnât leave. Even if they fired him, he knew he could find something else. It wasnât as though he searched for high end jobs to work. Most places had turned him away initially because he was too overqualified for a job, until he refused to tell anyone about his degree or time in the army. It wasnât anything he was proud of, anyway.Â

&& i only wanted you to know a little.
01. six years old.
âWillow Adelaide Leroux!â The young girl cringed as her grandmother screeched from the back porch and the pebbles came crashing down around her. âYou do NOT use magic like that! No, mâam.â She turned and frowned, crossing her arms over her chest. âGrandma, Iâm 6 now. I can do magic when I want. And I donât want anyone to call me Willow. I like Addie better.â she demanded, huffing as she stared the older woman down. Her grandmother narrowed her eyes in return. âNo matter what your name is, you donât do magic without an adult around, missy.â she reprimanded again, crossing her arms over her chest just like Addie had. âBut Grandma--â Her grandmother shook her head, âNo buts, miss Addie...get in here if you want to practice that levitating spell...adult supervision. Grandma has to make sure youâre doing it right. Youâre next in line, you know...â

nathan-anderson:
He caught whispers, constantly. In tune with her and with her hand in his, he could feel just about everything that passed through her mind. She wanted to know about him, and it was only fair. But he didnât think she understood that he had no walls up in his mind. He had lost the ability to build those when he lost the ability to withdraw into himself. But he was so careful with his thoughts around her, to keep things surface and simple, forcing himself not to think too deeply and leave trails for her to follow. She would have to dig around on her own, find things without him leading her there. It was why he was so reluctant to let her around him, so afraid she go digging and bump the wrong memory that could scar her for the rest of her life. He wanted better for her. And he knew she would continue to say she was strong and she could handle it, but she hadnât seen what he had seen. It had broken him, driven him mad. Whether she thought she could handle it or not, he didnât want her to have to.
Yet it was becoming obvious that she needed to know something of him. She thought to highly of him, assumed that his darkness wasnât so bad. She kept insisting it, but sh hadnât seen any of it. Sheâd seen the barest glimmer when she saw him puking outside the bar, or in a walking trance as he carried her to the car. But she didnât know why. And he had to show her at least a little, before she pursued anything further. She deserved to at least know the truth about his greatest flaw, before she started thinking about lazy days and calm nights like he would be there. Like he could ever be sane.Â
âDidnât say you were looking for normal. Only colored with surprise when you didnât find it.â He pointed out, thinking that was perfectly normal. His eyes shut briefly in frustration, still walking down the hall. He stopped abruptly, taking her by the arms and letting his fingers grip her as he looked intently at her. âYou donât know what I am.â He stressed, voice low. She thought she didnât, but she hadnât seen that side of him. She could go on about how he couldnât say he wasnât what she needed, but neither could she say that he was. âOnly seeing pieces and bits, puzzle pieces of red here and there that look innocent, but you put them together and realize itâs nothing like you thought. And some donât have a place, and some are gone, or broken, and it will never fit together right again. The picture is dark and bloody and she canât comprehend what it looks like because sheâs never seen itâs like.â
âDammit, woman.â She had to be doing it on purpose now. No, he knew she was doing it on purpose. His hands turned a little looser and slipped further down, unable to resist leaning in for one more taste of her lips. It was her fault, knowingly thinking about everything that would push him when she knew he could hear everything, see the clear memories playing in her head. But he pulled away quickly, with a brief huff, and turned to keep walking. They reached the office of his boss and he pushed in without warning. âIâll take the rest of the day off.â He announced with no preamble. The man looked up with obvious surprise. âYou canât just decide that. Thereâs a mess in the stairwell to clean up.â He protested, and Nathan didnât so much as blink. âNever asked off. Always come in on off days. Worked late. One half day wonât be the end.â He challenged, grip tightening a little on Addieâs hand, hearing the wheelâs turn in the manâs thoughts, as his eyes flicked to  Addie. âIs he bothering you, miss?â
The pair was holding two separate conversations, and had been since the first time they met. The one conversation on the surface where pretty words were exchanged in a regular fashion and then a much more complicated conversation where multiple lines of thought melded into one dialogue. The thoughts that passed through them each belonged to different thoughts - her strength, his instability, her recklessness in regards to him, his broken pieces - but while each was a different conversation, somehow, it managed to come through her head in one stream of consciousness.Â
She heard everything and could respond automatically. It was a continuous conversation despite not speaking those words out loud. It wasnât confusing, though; she was able to keep up it, she wondered if she was overloading him at all. He kept thinking of memories that she wasnât supposed to see but all she had seen were the briefest of flashes of blood, fire, and explosions. He had been a medic; she had expected that. She wasnât worried, though, somehow. Nathan was a large man - he was well over 6 feet tall and athletically built; but he was too gentle for anything as dark as he was projecting.
His sudden movement to hold her arms at her side had her freeze up slightly. His change in demeanor confused her, among other things. Her eyes scanned his face for the true meaning behind his constant repetition of his supposedly dark memories and horrific actions. Perhaps he was telling the truth, it was showing in the ferocity that danced in his eyes. She wanted to respond to him verbally, quip that she couldnât believe him if he wouldnât let her see it, but his lips were on hers again and she couldnât have willed herself to fight it even if she had wanted to. And then, he was pulling her along again. Telling me that Iâm thinking dangerous things and then you enact them...It wasnât fair. But she wasnât going to be the one to complain.
Nathan threw the door open and announced that he was leaving early for the day. Addie couldnât help the smile on her face, honestly. He was slightly aggressive in the way he stated his faces, leaving no chance for his supervisor to deny what he was saying was true. When the man asked if Nathan was bothering her, she scoffed, a laugh nearly escaping. Nathanâs hand tightened around hers and she reciprocated the motion, releasing her tighter grip after a few seconds. âNot at all. He isnât the one thatâs bothered me.â Her words were sweet in tone, though the meaning was that he had been the one to bother her. Why did everyone assume that he was bothering her? âIf anything, Iâm the one bothering him.â She lifted her brows, almost challenging him to contest her. Bothering you...among other, much more entertaining things.

the edge of all we've ever known
nathan-anderson:
He didnât know what to say to make her stop. She didnât need to blame herself for any of it, and the thought seemed absurd to him. Her memories flitted through his mind, accomplishing nothing but to make him angry at the people who had done this to her. Of course her parents meant well, he knew that much. But he was familiar with the concept of being blamed for everything. What with his supposed curse of bad luck that his older siblings and mother were always so diligent to remind him of. He hated to see that reflected in someone else, hated to see Addie blaming herself for things beyond her control. And still he had no words to correct her, only hopes that she would hear him and know how far from the truth she was. He was broken and unwell and not everything he did would always make sense.Â
His lips tipped upward in a reluctant half smile. She wasnât too far off, he would do just about anything to get out the close closet, breathe air that didnât smell of her, not be tempted to go right back to where they had been before. Because at the moment, it was taking everything in him to not just kiss her again. âPursues the insane and wonders why itâs not normal when she catches up.â He could have structured his sentence better, mind being clear of everything but her. But it was still easier, and from what he had picked up, she preferred the way that he spoke, in limerick and poetry.Â
She was thinking dangerous things for him. His hands pulled away from her face, feeling that if he held onto her much longer, she would win whatever silent battle they were having, and he wasnât ready for that just yet. He had secrets he didnât want her to know, things that he knew would make her pause every time she looked at him. He still slipped one hand into hers, not ready to let go just yet, and reached for the door. The hallway was empty, thankfully, and he ran a hand through his hair before stepping out and tugging Addie with him.Â
Addie didnât know how to help him understand. Despite her exterior that scream strength and stability, she spent a lot of time to get to that point. She hadnât always been the confident, rational being she was now. She had gone through a tough time with her spell casting in high school, set things on fire when she had meant to simply move them across the backyard. She wanted to ask him so many questions - where he had come from, when his clairvoyance had made its first appearance, why she always caught just flashes of things from him. For the most part, she felt like she gave complete stories but Nathan seemed to have so many walls up to protect himself. It was confusing, though, because he must just be naturally gifted, unless he had practice hiding things from clairvoyants. She obviously struggled because he had her entire life in memories at his disposal if he wanted to see it.
He seemed much less concerned with the fact that she wasnât everything she seemed to be and more obsessive over the fact that he was not what she expected or wanted. She needed him to understand, somehow, that she had no expectation. She had given up on that a long time ago. She needed very little in her life; the drama was something she had left in the city when she graduated from undergrad and she didnât need it again any time soon. She wanted lazy days, calm nights, and to spend time with someone who wanted to be with her. That wasnât a lot to ask for, right?
The way he spoke was pretty, though he seemed to think it was too much for most people. And perhaps he was right, but she wasnât most people. She had always enjoyed poetry, though. âI never once said I wanted normal; youâre putting words in my mouth.â she retorted, honesty floating in the air like a fine mist for them both to inhale. He still had her hand in his and she caught herself praying to a higher being that he didnât drop it; instead, he pulled her with him back out into the hallway. âAnd I swear to God, say it one more time...that youâre not what I need. I dare you.â Addie followed diligently, though there were grains of rice in ballet flats. They were squishing against her feet as she walked and she wrinkled her nose up at the feeling. She heard him, though, thinking about the things she had been thinking about only moments before and it had her smiling.Â
Apparently, she was thinking dangerous things. Dangerous, how? But she knew what he was referring to because she had gone to that place in her own mind. She was well aware of how she had thought about him when his hands had been on her stomach, his lips on her neck. Her breath had caught in just the right place in her chest to let him know that what he was doing was more than welcome. Dangerous like...her thoughts drifted to when she had curled her fingers into his belt loops and jerked him against her, to when his lips had met her neck and she had whimpered for more. If anyone had been playing a dangerous game, it had been him. She had simply responded to his touch; he had been leading. And she wasnât interested in taking that role; he had done a perfectly fine job.
maggie-blackwell:
âUnderstandable,â Maggie said; not only was she able to relate but she had known a few witches in her time who had traveled down the same path as Addie, âOh?â As Addie continued to reveal more though, Maggie became more intrigued, âThe quiet⊠is that a good thing? Or a bad thing?â
Addie scoffed at herself. âItâs a good thing, Maggie...Iâve been hearing people in overdrive since the bitter ball and itâs been eating away at my sanity. Everyoneâs quiet out loud but their thoughts are racing a mile a minute.â
jason-grey:
Jason nodded his head as he listened to her, he could relate. There are times even when he could not focus or sleep at night because of thoughts around him, âwell concertinaing and focusing is normally the first step at least for me but there times when i canât focus or think clearly because of the thoughtsâ he sighed, âI think i have a solution to that problem. I know a place where you can focus and not hear the thoughts of others as much or at allâ he added. Jason knew that taking her to his safe haven would be helpful and the first place to startâ
Addie nodded, starting behind Jason. âIâll try anything...and youâre as normal as they come...â she mused, wrinkling her nose, a voice in the back of her head whispering that Nathan would know what to do. He would reach out and hold her hand and he would make things less loud, less scary. But Nathan wasnât here. He was back at town hall, probably still cleaning the mess of the soda off the floor that she had left.
thalia-dunne:
âWhich is exactly why I gave you those examples, idiot. Oh, also when you forget to turn your hair straightener off.â Thalia watched in amusement as Addie cracked the eggs. Thalia was busy on a cookie recipe. âMake sure thereâs no more shell in and then throw that in the sink, and wash your hands again.âÂ
âHonestly, itâs too much work for meâŠI donât know how you do this every day...â she mused, tossing the shell into the drain and flipping the faucet gently on. âI appreciate you ten fold nowâŠâ she continued, the soap slipping down her hand and she rubbed her hands together.
thalia-dunne:
âBaking is itâs own kind of magic,â Thalia grinned at her. âYou canât rush it. And I highly doubt that youâll be lighting anything on fire. The only things you set on fire are when you forget to blow out your candles, or leave something on the stove or in the oven.â
âBoth of which I have undoubtedly done. I swear, if my head werenât attached to me, Iâd lose it, Thal...â Addie reached for an egg, cracking it over the edge of the large mixing bowl. Then another, and another. The fourth one cracked and a bit of shell automatically fell in. She groaned and fished it out, using her pointer finger nail to gently lift it from the mix.
