“I belong to you. Only you…I’ll always be yours. No matter what.”

The last few months had been absolutely insane. People were ecstatic that both the future queen and the princess were expecting royal babies. Tatianna was the first to drop unexpectedly as she was out shopping with Maeve, thankfully they had a guard with them incase an assassination attempt was made. As she was wheeled into the royal hospital Maeves waters went. "Fuck...." Lucian cursed under his breath as he made an SOS call to the Palace to inform Morgana, Mordred, Emlyn and Alix that both women had gone into labour.
"Almost" Mordred chuckled softly "but they practically trampled all of us when we brought Rhys and Ros home."
"Oh gods i almost lost my shit that point." Morgana admitted. Cain was the first to start crying loudly as he was hungry. Thankfully Maeve knew what she was doing and she moved to discreetly feed him.
"afraid that will happen quite a lot with him," Lancelot noted "if he takes after Alix at all anyway"
"Oh he certainly looks so much like Alix... but with Maeves eyes. Gonna be a little heart breaker he is." Morgana chuckled.
"afraid he gets that more from his mother than from me," Alix assured.
Before Maeve could protest Morgana smirked "before you try and defend yourself you obviously haven't seen social media a lot of hearts have been broken since it came out you were no longer single." Morgana teased.
"only one or two of which pitied that it was Alix who had swept you up because that puts him off the market" Lance noted "both male authors I believe"
"We all knew you would both end up together from even when you were children. Emlyn on the other hand... always a wild spirit didn't know if anyone could live upto that. Until i caught Em stopping to look at Tati when Maeve brought her to the palace." Morgana explained.
"Me the wild child?" Emlyn questioned raising an eyebrow as he looked at Maeve "quite sure that's her actually"
a collection of my own writings … sentence starters a warning for dark themes and profanity
“ i still have the scars. “
“ you will not hurt me, again. “
“ and, despite it all, i survived. “
“ my innocence died with them. “
“ please, give me a reason to stay. “
“ eventually, you just get used to it. “
“ even hell would spit me back out. “
“ you’re still a fighter, right? prove it. “
“ remorse has no place in my heart. “
“ i’m sorry. i never meant to change. “
“ strike me again and you will learn… “
“ i am stronger than this. i have to be. “
“ ——– but, you said that you loved me? “
“ you point and laugh as i crack and break. “
“ is there anything left in your shallow heart? “
“ i know there’s no fixing me, i’m too far gone. “
“ how did your gentle heart become so jaded? “
“ don’t cry for me, now. don’t you dare. not you. “
“ you’ve been fighting too hard for too long, now. “
“ my halo keeps slipping down. it’s choking me, now. “
“ their lives aren’t worthless. they’re just… worth less. “
“ your touch does not need to be soft. i will not break. “
“ i’ve paid for my sins. now, i come to collect for yours. “
“ your hands looked like safety… until they turned to fists. “
“ i was too young. i didn’t know. i tried. i did try. i am sorry. “
“ there is nothing beautiful about the way i’ve been broken. “
“ but moving on means letting you go, and i’m not ready, yet. “
“ spit out the blood and keep going. be strong. they still need you. “
“ someday, i’ll be strong enough, brave enough… not today, not yet. “
” poor little lamb, so lost and afraid… bleating for help that never came. “
“ you threaten to throw me to the wolves? do it. i’ll be in better company there. “
“ in all these years, your arms are the only place that have ever felt like a home. “
“ as the flames rise, i will laugh while you choke on the ashes of all your mistakes. “
“ you were iron and i was glass. how easy it must have been to shatter me at your feet. “
“ the worst part is when i can look someone in the eye and say ‘ it’s okay, i’m used to it’. “
“ ‘ where’s your conscience? where’s your heart? ‘ they’re six feet under, dead and gone. “
“ come back to bed, my dear. you’ve woven these sheets with webs of lies… now sleep in it. “
“ i don’t know which is worse: remembering everything you did to me, or knowing that you don’t. “
“ you are whole galaxies encased behind patient smiles and a gentle heart, beautiful and infinite. “
“ you are a thunderstorm. fierce. intense. powerful. dangerous. and I wouldn’t want you any other way. “
“ somehow, without me even realizing it, you became so, so important… the most important part of my life. “
“ i was broken, again and again, melted down, remade, reforged, until nothing remained of who i’d been before. “
“ all of your pretty words cannot convince me there is a shred of beauty left in that vile, putrid wreckage you presume to call a heart. “
“ they shattered you apart, rebuilt you from the shards. and, now, when you look in the mirror… you can’t even tell who you used to be. “
“ you deserve so much more than these jagged pieces… these shards of what i used to be. because, in the end, they will only cut you down. “
“Reboot Complete” (from theloyaldragonlord)
((So rude))
“Please, just stay away….” she didn’t know who he was, or how she’d gotten to this place. The last thing she remembered was the cage she’d been kept in.
Freya watched them fall, brown eyes full of wariness as she watched the apple roll away. Though she fought the urge to stoop and pick it up, she knew she was hungry after all. Finally her eyes returned to him warily staring him down, narrowed like all she was wishing was that he would leave her be. “The last time I believed that I ended up in a cage…” though it was odd that she could no longer feel the chafing of the irons that had been about her wrists and ankles, and this….she looked about…lake certainly didn’t smell of that cage, or the man who’d captured her.
Merlin met Freya’s eyes. “You can have those. They’re for you,” he said, nodding to the food he’d tried to toss her way. He ran over and picked them up. With caution, Merlin brought them over to her and knelt beside her. The warlock held them out. “You’re not in a cage anymore. You’re safe now. I’m going to let anyone take you. My name’s Merlin. I…I rescued you. I think you might’ve been remembering that time. It’s not then anymore even if it might feel that way. Why not have a bit of food? It might help…”
Food was the exact opposite of what she wanted. She'd long since learned to ignore the hunger pangs from her human body. If she could starve herself enough...well there was a reason she was quite as small as she was.
She shook her head adamantly, "But I should be in that cage, you don't understand..." she fidgeted with her wrists, rubbing the spots where the shackles had dug into her skin.
"Please, you have to stay away from me."
Merlin was confused and hurt and Freya understood that, too well perhaps, but they had the same intentions, wanting to keep each other from getting hurt. “I understand, until recently I couldn’t control myself from killing people…even if I cared about them. But…then you came along. So I don’t think everyone who gets near you ends up hurt. Perhaps there are some exceptions, for both of us.”
“But they do. Lancelot had to go into exile because of me. Gaius has been hurt because people were trying to get to me. My best friend Will died because of me. My father, as well, died because of me. My mother almost died because of me and so has Arthur,” he explained. “It’s sometimes more than I can bear. I don’t want another soul harmed….” He closed his eyes as he broke down into sobs. “I’m sorry…”
"That just shows me that you're a far better person than you give yourself credit for," Freya noted. Granted the same could be said about her, that she didn't want to hurt those she did when she was in her cursed form, it just happened.
Every instinct in her body told her to run from the situation, not be near him, not for his wrong doing but for the sake of her not injuring him. But she ignored instinct for the time being and reached out to take his hand, small as hers was compared to his. "You don't have to apologize, you haven't done anything wrong."
Have swimmer's ear (boo for airplanes and ear popping issues?) so I spent my afternoon first at the urgent care (you guys it hurt so bad for him to dig out ear wax in my infected ear, I was trying so hard not to jump away from him) and then at the pharmacy to get my ear drops. Got home and started having AWFUL stomach cramps and now I'm ready to just sleep forever. Sounds like my sister in law isn't feeling great either so I'll probably come straight home after work rather than do my usual Wednesday of scanning pictures.
