          His eyes catch her attention, but she does well to refrain from any sort of notable reaction.  Living the life Barbara, lived left little to surprise her, but not to be completely ignored either.  Then again, it didn’t really take a Brainiac to note her new … friend … was out of the ordinary.

          ❛  I can’t say that’s all that good of a thing unfortunately.  ❜  Barbara lets out a soft sigh.   ❛  A city like this tends to bring out the worst in a good number of people if you’re not careful.  ❜  Lips curl into feint grin,  ❛  Glad to help   —–   Don’t think I got your name.  ❜  She’ll let him have the compliment for the time being.

HE DOESN’T KNOW TOO MUCH GOTHAM beyond the fact that its a cesspool and has a bat infestation. it was never really one of his marks since it seemed to already be everyone else’s mark --places like that were no good for heists. but now that the guild is running around here, he’s wishing he did know his way around this place and all the different hiding spots they could be. 

but she doesn’t have to know that. she’s just a good samaritan trying to help...or something.

❛ who me? careful’s my middle name. ❜  he teases, knowing that she won’t believe that for a second (and rightfully so). ❛ de name’s gambit. i’m not new t’ dealin’ wit’ creeps in dark spandex, but dis ain’t my neck of the woods. ❜

SOMETIMES HE FEELS STUPID for not seeing what was right in front of him all along --or maybe for denying what was so obvious to everyone else because of his own insecurities. he’s always been shocked someone like roberto wanted to hang around him, but the idea that he could actually want him always felt out of the question. roberto was gorgeous, powerful, and had a personality that drew people in and left them wanting to know more. he could have anyone he wanted to, why would he pick sam?

if the past few months have proved anything to him, it’s that roberto’s felt that same spark sam’s been feeling all those months. and he’s not hiding it or denying it anymore.

❛ it’s still kinda hard to believe...you goin’ for a kentucky farmboy like me when you’re so larger than life. but ah think ah’ve been feeling something for quite some time too. ❜

↬   RED  (TAYLOR’S VERSION)  ( 2021 )  by  taylor  swift. @excalibrain​ sent: ‘  come  back  and  tell  me  why.  ’ for any of your x-men muses! she likes to know things :)

HER RELATIONSHIP WITH KITTY PRYDE can only be described as “tumultuous” and “eventful.” she remembers when the two of them were kids, back when they were either at each others’ throats or best friends on their way to a dazzler concert. these days, they’re definitely more steady, “friends” more than anything else, though they both bear too many scars. 

deep down terry knows kitty has every right to ask where she’s been --she’s been gone for years and they’re hardly strangers to one another. but at the same time, terry just hasn’t gotten used to letting herself be vulnerable like this --she’s never been good at it. 

arms wrap around her torso, eyes refusing to make contact with her as she finally just confesses the truth. ❛ alright, fine. if you really wanna know where i’ve been, i’ve been spending the last few years as a death goddess because it was the only way to save polaris. ❜

“Heh. Funny, how things end up, isn’t it?“

“I tell you I fought Externals and won? En might have been a son of a bitch. But he was right. We’re changing. Getting stronger.“

❛ i never had many run ins with him, but it’s still strange to see all these familiar faces on our side now, isn’t it? ❜

STAY  STAY  STAY.

‘  i’m  pretty  sure  we  almost  broke  up  last  night.  ’

‘  i  was  expecting  some  dramatic  turn  away,  but  you  stayed.  ’

‘  you  should  never  leave  a  fight  unresolved.  ’

‘  i’ve  been  loving  you  for  quite  some  time.  ’

‘  you  think  that  it’s  funny  when  i’m  mad.  ’

‘  i  think  that  it’s  best  if  we  both  stay.  ’

‘  i  love  you  because  you  have  given  me  no  choice  but  to  stay.  ’

‘  you  took  the  time  to  memorize  me:  my  fears,  my  hopes,  my  dreams.  ’

‘  it’s  been  occurring  to  me  i’d  like  to  hang  out  with  you  my  whole  life.  ’

‘  no  one  else  is  going  to  love  me  when  i  get  mad.  ’

THE  LAST  TIME.

‘  you  find  yourself  at  my  door,  just  like  all  those  times  before.  ’

‘  all  roads  they  lead  me  here.  ’

‘  right  before  your  eyes,  i’m  breaking.  ’

‘  this  is  the  last  time  i’m  asking  you  this.  ’

‘  put  my  name  at  the  top  of  your  list.  ’

‘  you  break  my  heart  in  the  blink  of  an  eye.  ’

‘  you  wear  your  best  apology,  but  i  was  there  to  watch  you  leave.  ’

HOLY  GROUND.

‘  i  was  reminiscing  just  the  other  day.  ’

‘  it  took  me  away,  back  to  a  first-glance  feeling.  ’

‘  i  guess  we  fell  apart  in  the  usual  way.  ’

‘  you  fit  in  my  poems  like  a  perfect  rhyme.  ’

‘  the  story’s  got  dust  on  every  page.  ’

‘  darling  it  was  good,  never  looking  down.  ’

‘  where  we  stood  was  holy  ground.  ’

‘  for  the  first  time  i  had  something  to  lose.  ’

‘  i  see  your  face  in  every  crowd.  ’

‘  i  don’t  want  to  dance,  if  i’m  not  dancing  with  you.  ’

SAD  BEAUTIFUL  TRAGIC.

‘  words,  how  little  they  mean  when  you’re  a  little  too  late.  ’

‘  good  girls,  hopeful  they’ll  be,  and  long  will  they  wait.  ’

‘  we  had  a  beautiful  magic  love  there.  ’

‘  in  dreams  i  meet  you  in  warm  conversation.  ’

‘  we  both  wake  in  lonely  beds  in  different  cities.  ’

‘  time  is  taking  its  sweet  time  erasing  you.  ’

‘  you’ve  got  your  demons,  and  darling  they  all  look  like  me.  ’

‘  what  a  sad,  beautiful  tragic  love  affair.  ’

THE  LUCKY  ONE.

‘  the  camera  flashes  make  it  look  like  a  dream.  ’

‘  you’ve  had  it  figured  out  since  you  were  in  school.  ’

‘  everybody  loves  pretty,  everybody  loves  cool.  ’

‘  your  name  goes  up  in  lights  like  diamonds  in  the  sky.  ’

‘  your  lover  in  the  foyer  doesn’t  even  know  you.  ’

‘  your  secrets  end  up  splashed  on  the  news  front  page.  ’

‘  they  tell  you  that  you’re  lucky,  but  you’re  so  confused.  ’

‘  you  don’t  feel  pretty,  you  just  feel  used.  ’

‘  all  the  young  things  line  up  to  take  your  place.  ’

‘  you  wonder  if  you’ll  make  it  out  alive.  ’

‘  they  still  tell  the  legend  of  how  you  disappeared.  ’

‘  it  took  some  time,  but  i  understand  it  now.  ’

‘  i  think  you’ve  got  it  right.  ’

‘  let  me  tell  you  now,  you’re  the  lucky  one.  ’

EVERYTHING  HAS  CHANGED.

‘  all  i  knew  this  morning  when  i  woke  is  i  know  something  now  i  didn’t  before.  ’

‘  i  just  wanna  know  you  better.  ’

‘  your  eyes  looked  like  coming  home.  ’

‘  you’ll  be  mine  and  i’ll  be  yours.  ’

‘  everything  has  changed.  ’

‘  all  my  walls  stood  tall,  painted  blue,  but  i’ll  take  them  down  and  open  up  the  door  for  you.  ’

‘  all  i  know  in  my  stomach  is  butterflies:  the  beautiful  kind,  making  up  for  lost  time.  ’

‘  come  back  and  tell  me  why.  ’

‘  i’m  feeling  like  i’ve  missed  you  all  this  time.  ’

‘  let  me  know  that  it’s  not  all  in  my  mind.  ’

STARLIGHT.

‘  oh  my,  what  a  marvelous  tune.  ’

‘  it  was  the  best  night,  never  would  forget  how  we  moved.  ’

‘  the  whole  place  is  dressed  to  the  nines.  ’

‘  we  were  dancing  like  we’re  made  of  starlight.  ’

‘  we  were  seventeen  and  crazy,  running  wild.  ’

‘  i  can’t  remember  what  song  he  was  playing  as  he  walked  in.  ’

‘  look  at  you,  worrying  so  much  about  things  you  can’t  change.  ’

‘  you’ll  spend  your  whole  life  singing  the  blues  if  you  keep  thinking  that  way.  ’

‘  don’t  you  see  the  starlight  ?  ’

‘  don’t  you  dream  impossible  things  ?  ’

‘  we  could  get  married.  ’

‘  we  could  have  ten  kids,  and  teach  them  how  to  dream.  ’

BEGIN  AGAIN.

‘  you  throw  your  head  back  laughing  like  a  little  kid.  ’

‘  i  think  it’s  strange  that  you  think  i’m  funny,  cause  he  /  she  /  they  never  did.  ’

‘  i’ve  been  spending  the  last  few  months  thinking  all  love  ever  does  is  break,  and  burn,  and  end.  ’

‘  on  a  wednesday  in  a  cafe  i  watched  it  begin  again.  ’

‘  you  don’t  know  why  i’m  coming  off  a  little  shy,  but  i  do.  ’

‘  for  the  first  time,  what’s  past  is  past.  ’

THE  MOMENT  I  KNEW.

‘  you  should’ve  been  there.  ’

‘  it  would’ve  felt  like  a  million  little  stars  had  just  aligned.  ’

‘  i  would’ve  been  so  happy.  ’

‘  i’ve  got  my  eye  on  the  door  just  waiting  for  you  to  walk  in.  ’

‘  you  said  you’d  be  here.  ’

‘  it  was  like  slow  motion.  ’

‘  i  was  standing  there  in  my  party  dress,  in  red  lipstick  with  no  one  to  impress.  ’

‘  there  was  one  thing  missing.  ’

‘  that  was  the  moment  i  knew.  ’

‘  i  try  not  to  fall  apart  as  the  sinking  feeling  starts.  ’

‘  what  do  you  say  when  tears are  streaming  down  your  face  in  front  of  everyone  you  know  ?  ’

‘  what  do  you  do  when  the  one  who  means  the  most  to  you  is  the  one  who  didn’t  show  ?  ’

COME  BACK  …  BE  HERE.

‘  i  told  myself  don’t  get  attached.  ’

‘  this  is  when  the  feeling  sinks  in.  ’

‘  i  don’t  want  to  miss  you  like  this.  ’

‘  come  back,  be  here.  ’

‘  i  don’t  want  to  need  you  this  way.  ’

‘  i  guess  you’re  in  london  today.  ’

‘  if  i  had  known  what  i  know  now,  i  never  would  have  played  so  nonchalant.  ’

‘  this  is  falling  in  love  in  the  cruelest  way.  ’

‘  i  am  falling  for  you  when  you  are  worlds  away.  ’

‘  i  break  down,  cause  it’s  not  fair  that  you’re  not  around.  ’

GIRL  AT  HOME.

‘  don’t  look  at  me.  ’

‘  you’ve  got  a  girl  at  home  and  everybody  knows  that.  ’

‘  i  feel  a  responsibility  to  do  what’s  upstanding  and  right.  ’

‘  you’ve  been  getting  closer  and  closer,  and  crossing  so  many  lines.  ’

‘  it’d  be  a  fine  proposition,  if  i  was  a  stupid  girl.  ’

‘  i  am  no  one’s  exception.  ’

‘  you’re  the  kind  of  man  who  makes  me  sad.  ’

‘  let’s  consider  this  lesson  learned.  ’

‘  i  might  go  with  it  if  i  hadn’t  once  been  just  like  her.  ’

FEARLESS (TAYLOR’S VERSION) SENTENCE STARTERS PART ONE @magnetress​ sent: ‘  you  know  ,  you  got  a  mean  streak  .  ’

SHE ALWAYS RUNS. and spending the week at cassidy keep was no different, thinking some distance would give her as much perspective as it would give lorna time to forget about her. but that’s just fear talking, and sooner or later, that green haired goddess she couldn’t stop thinking about was at her door. 

because she knows her --and those gates only made travel easier. but terry can’t lie and say she’s not happy to see her. even if the words related to her so often get choked up and stuck in her throat, seeing her provides clarity. the loneliness that suffocated her isn’t there anymore. not when she’s laying down in bed next to her, fingers idly playing with her hair. the whole castle is empty except for them and that makes it the best place in the world to her.

when she jokes about terry’s mean streak, she laughs. ❛ afraid i’ll break your fingers too? ❜ she jokes, knowing that she’s not exactly lying about her having a temper. but she softens a little, voice turning gentler. ❛ i don’t have a mean streak when i’m with you. you soften me out. ❜ she adds,  ❛ you’re the only person i ever gave my life for. not even jamie claims that. ❜

That gave him a chuckle. “You’re not the only one.”

“Two years ago if you’d told me I was working with druids to defend a fantasy land from Merlyn and Arthur I’d have backed away slowly. Life takes us strange places.“

SHE RARELY GOT LIKE THIS. there was rarely anything that could make her nervous like this, but somehow the thought of having to break the news and him not taking it well? if she wasn’t a model with a reputation to keep- it may have just made her sweat.

he was easy. this felt normal. it wasn’t something people like them were often granted- to which many people rolled their eyes at any complaints. who cares if you’re constantly under fire for existing in the public eye? you had money and power. that had to mean something, right? that wasn’t something kory ever strived for- fashion was something she was passionate about, modeling just happened to be the outlet. but for the first time she had something normal or normal adjacent. 

❛ well, that’s a given. ❜   there’s a quiet sigh that escapes her, nerves doing their best to fall off her shoulders while she stirred the roux.   ❛ do you remember when i had to go to paris for two weeks? and how… romantic our reunion was? ❜ 

SHE’S BUTTERING HIM UP, bringing up the paris vacation to soften the blow for whatever it is that’s got her so worried. he almost feels like guessing, though he’s pretty sure 20 questions wouldn’t go over well right now. so instead, he plays along, a grin tugging at the ends of his lips.   ❛ course i remember dat. ❜ 

he scoots closer, hugging her from behind while she stirs.   ❛ i was missin ya like crazy the whole time you were gone, chere. ❜  and that much is true, cause the amount he cares about her actually surprises him. he’s never considered himself a good or honest man, but this feels as pure as things can come.

 ❛ what about it? you plannin’ for a redo ronight? ❜

LIKE A BANDAID. like a bandaid. like a bandaid. the words kept ringing through her mind yet she had no idea how to just tell him the truth. buttering him up with gumbo? was sex a weird thing to offer to make sure he was in a good mood for the news? it surely couldn’t make the situation any worse. 

just the way you are. well that sure wasn’t helpful. she was going to be changing soon- and everyone would know. but the laugh just made her think everything might just be okay if she stopped worrying about how to tell him.

of course she was still being careful about it however.   ❛ what if i like… shaved my head or something drastic? even then? ❜   being the side piece in her predicament wasn’t exactly like shaving your head but it was a start.

HE’S NO MIND READER but he can tell there’s something different about her. like she’s nervous --which was never a trait he would have ascribed to her prior. but he doesn’t pry, hoping instead she’ll open up to him soon enough. remy’s at least good enough at reading people to know how to finesse this.

as soon as she starts throwing out the “what ifs” he just smiles a little in pure amusement. when he and lorna started this fake marriage they both agreed it was ok to see other people and he might have started by seeing many people, but it’s dwindled down to just her. and that was a change made by choice rather than anything. this was good and this was real --and that’s more than anything he’s had before. 

❛ den you’d be de hottest bald chick i ever saw. ❜ he pauses, switching gears to be a bit more serious. ❛ what’s on your mind, chere? ❜

THE IDEA OF RELATIONSHIPS FOR PUBLICITY just sounded ridiculous to her, it always had. it was part of the reason kory wasn’t quick to believe him when he explained the situation at the dane-lebeau household. even then, there were still plenty of “are you sure this is okay with her?”s thrown around when they started getting closer.

they wouldn’t be able to hide this much longer, but it felt great to just be able to be in a relationship without speculation about every detail of it. and maybe once he realized he couldn’t hide what they had forever, he’d go back to her. that was a bandaid kory was going to start wetting before it was pulled off to ease the pain just a bit.

❛ do you have to do something? i can’t just be nice? ❜   she shrugs her shoulders slightly as her hands get to work.   ❛ or would you prefer i just bicker with you like she does? ❜

IT’S FUNNY HOW AT HOME HE FEELS HERE. and at this point, it practically is a second home since here more days than he is anywhere else. but there’s a stability to this that he finds security in, something that’s so undefined they don’t suffocate themselves. 

he laughs a little when she mentions how often he and his co-star argue. she was right, but it was the chaos between them that kept things so interesting. they never really had a boring day --but this is so much more exciting in a more authentic way. 

❛ nah --i like ya just de way you are. ❜

different ways to say ‘i love you’. / accepting @goldignis​ sent remy: ‘i’ll make you something, yeah? your favorite dish, just for you.’ 

HE SOMETIMES WONDERS HOW HE HASN’T BEEN CAUGHT. not by lorna, who made the arrangement in the first place, but by the press who often hounded their lives like dogs. but lately he’s spending more time here with her than he does at home with his wife. sure it’s a marriage that exists for publicity purposes and nothing else, but he does wonder how no one’s put two and two together yet. maybe they were just better liars than he gave them credit for.

he watches kory pull out a few pans, eyes tracking her every movement. she’s different right now, but he can’t quite put his finger on why. but he isn’t really complaining either.

❛ is dat so? what’d i do t’deserve this kinda 5-star treatment? ❜

       there he went again, being big and strong and pretending her had no problems of his own. always about what she needed. she never needed him to be some big, metal, knight in shining armour, though that part was definitely one she loved. she just needed him to be him, something he seemed to forget to do a lot these days. 

       “ pete, why don’t you stop asking me what i want you to be. ” she took a moment, pausing to let the thought sink in. she knew when she talked in too many metaphors it became hard to understand. “ for once, why don’t you just be what you want to be. all i ever wanted was you the way that makes you happiest, not worrying about making me happy. ”

ALL HIS LIFE he’s defined himself by others. the brother illyana needed him to be, the son his parents deserved, an x-man worthy of xavier’s vision. but for the first time in his life, someone is asking him what he wants to be --not for anyone else but him. and when he looks inside himself, he finds himself sad to realize he doesnt have the answer. 

❛ i...the things i want aren’t possible. ❜ he says it like he’s coming to the realization as he speaks. he’d love to just move to the countryside and live a quiet life, painting the landscapes and tending to the land. but if he did that, he’d be unhappy with himself for abandoning his post here. maybe one day...but for now, this is where he needs to be. ❛  what do you want, katya?❜
