THE GOLDEN LIGHT OF HIS desk lamp pools over the edge of the table , throwing soft shadows in the rest of the garage . it's hardly evening , but the time of year has the night creeping overhead earlier && earlier each day . it's not even late enough for dinner yet ( though roman hasn't exactly had lunch either so — maybe they can cut even somewhere between meals ) . it's unclear to him if gabriel eats but still — he orders him something . just for old time's sake .

" YOU HAVE TO stop showing up unannounced , " roman says , as if he's at all disappointed by this change of pace in his daily routine . " you're gonna start making me feel special . " he throws him a playful side smile before carefully rolling up a sheet of music he was working on .

[babyitsmagic]

"i don't know a lot of people who inspire murder in others. should i be impressed or concerned?"

she should walk in the other fucking direction. that's what her brother would say, at least. but even after all these years, beck has no sense of adventure and vanna is still curious as ever.

[heat-wves]

" SOUNDS LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW enough people . "

SOUNDS LIKE EMRYS knows the wrong people . s h o c k e r . perhaps it is in vanna's best interest to walk away while there's time . less so for the danger of him && more the R I S K of entering emrys' circle of acquaintances . you know . where all the murderers are for some reason .

[babyitsmagic]

"you tell me. i can't say i've felt the need to use that phrase before."

he knows she's going to say no, but he still wants to hear it.

[heat-wves]

THIS FEELS LIKE THE PART WHERE she should be flattered . or something . normal flirting just doesn't seem to work between the two of them .

( like kindred spirits from hell )

" I'D GO BACK to the workshop with that one . "

[heat-wves]

open starter this is a real low for wren. it's not often you get caught in a bad place by a rival / detective tw: alcohol

" JUST — DON'T SAY ANYTHING . FOR five seconds . " she says this with a crease in her brow as she holds up a finger , flicking open the cap of the bottle with her other hand . things were already bad enough : leads that went nowhere , pick ups that never materialized , having to get her own hands dirty .

&& NOW HERE she was , nursing her wounds in front of the last person she wanted to see .

SHE KEEPS EYE contact as she tips the bottle to her lips && easily downs half the bottle of whiskey — not trusting the other to take advantage of an already precarious situation for her . taking a breath , she wipes her mouth with the back of her hand && ever so gently puts the bottle back on the ground .

" SO WHAT NOW? " she says , still sitting on the box of stolen goods she worked so hard to get . " do i just hand this over to you && we call it even ? "

[valtsv]

the whole concept of authority is hysterically stupid to me. "i'm in charge so you have to do as i say!" no i don't lol

[valtsv]

"if you don't respect my authority and do as i tell you i have the power to punish you for it!" so i just have to avoid letting you catch me disobeying? for real? it's that easy?

@heat-wves

"well aren't you the sweetest thing on this side of hell?"

[heat-wves]

" . . . "

SHE WRINKLES HER nose && bares her teeth in what should be a smile but . . . that's definitely a snarl .

" has that one worked for you yet ? "

[heat-wves]

[heat-wves]

open starter listen , roman is just asking for one second to explain why your neighbor is no longer in one piece ! tw: gore , murder , blood

" OKAY DON'T MOVE ANY CLOSER . i know this looks bad . " one long , painful pause as roman looks at the hand he's raised ( d r e n c h e d in blood ) — not too helpful for his case . so he slowly ( very slowly , all while watching the other ) lowers his hand to join the other hand holding an equally bloody knife .

" BUT IF IT'S any consolation , rover over here was going to kill you first . " he'd have to give the damn thing some credit . the patience it took for the werewolf establish itself in the community as to not attract attention , to map out its victims so no one would notice . . . most people in general wouldn't have been able to pull it off so . nice work he supposes — but thank god it wasn't nice enough for him not to catch on .

" SO YOU CAN thank me by not saying a word . "

[heat-wves]

okay so i cleaned up my muse list , pulled it back down to three ( wow ! let's see how long that lasts ) . but now i have to be an adult && go grocery shopping . below are the muses && their brand new pages ( also wow ! ) . feel free to reach out or what have you for more

in exchange please don't look at my blog itself i gotta fix it all omg

emrys .

[heat-wves]

open starter in which emrys just didn't get to have his emily in paris moment in europe tw: mentions of murder, death, && gore

"SO THERE I WAS TRYING, to be a good brother — "

( && IT IS a well known fact how rarely he's a good a n y t h i n g )

" JACKIE, YOU KNOW she's gotten married && she has a b a b y now && i'm not missing the chance to start being a bad influence . . . "

EMRYS WANDERS AIMLESSLY ( does he ever wander with purpose anyway? ) around , somehow mixing a cocktail on the move .

" THEN IT TURNS out the police have a lot of questions when they find your internal organs strewn on the autobahn in a eleven year cold case && your skull fragments in a madrid gutter as part of a twelve year cold case && four litres of your human blood in a london apartment ten years ago && suddenly I N T E R P O L is involved . everyone's got questions like ' how are you alive ' && ' why did you fake your death ' && ' is this now a fraud case ' ? ? ? "

HE FINALLY STOPS talking long enough to look at the other , a glass in one hand && a bottle of tequila in the other .

" SO ANYWAY THAT was how my ' s a b b a t i c a l ' in europe went . how has life been for you ? "

[babyitsmagic]

@heat-wves bc i had to

vanna knows when people are going to die. it's a sliding, shifting thing for most people, influenced by their day-to-day decisions, but it takes time to change and shift. someone could be meant to die in their 90s one week and then a week later, it's in their 40s because of the new job they just accepted.

decisions like that matter. she's seen deaths change constantly.

she's never seen someone have so many impending deaths, shuffling faster than anything she's ever witnessed. she's never been so sure that more than one of them will be true.

a few of them are particularly gruesome and she can't help but ask, "are you trying to build the world's longest list of enemies or does it sort of just keep happening to you on accident?"

[heat-wves]

LOOK , IT'S NOT LIKE HE asked to be this way . sometimes two people stand each other just enough to produce not one , not two , but F O U R children in the world's most loveless marriage && one of them comes out immortal .

( && IF YOU'RE emrys' parents , you somehow cash in the lottery with t w o ) — but the payoff is one of them can't stay alive to save his . . . well , life .

BUT IF VANNA can see his deaths && futures like the shuffling of cards , then he must be the fucking CAESARS PALACE of her mind . maybe even the entire las vegas strip , if he makes the ' r i g h t ' decisions .

" WHAT CAN I say ? " he muses with a grin , throwing in a casual shrug on the side . " i just have a habit of inspiring a certain kind of passion in others . "
