ETERNITY BLED DRY
mythic & immortal tragic lovers — gods who fall, monsters who ache, and love that outlives the world but never finds peace
LOVERS OLDER THAN HISTORY
when centuries cannot dull the ache
“I have watched empires rise and rot—and still I look for you in every age.”
“We have died a thousand times and still find each other.”
“The world keeps changing. You don’t.”
“I remember your face in every lifetime.”
“Immortality means never forgetting.”
CURSES, PROPHECIES, AND FATE
love written in omens and warnings
“The oracle said loving you would end the world.”
“We were never meant to survive this.”
“Every prophecy ends with one of us dead.”
“The gods warned me to choose eternity over you.”
“Fate keeps demanding a sacrifice.”
GODS WHO BLEED
divinity undone by devotion
“I gave up my throne for you.”
“I was a god until I loved you.”
“The heavens fear what we are together.”
“They call me eternal, yet you are the only thing that lasts.”
“Worship never felt like this.”
MONSTERS WHO LOVE TOO MUCH
immortal beasts with human hearts
“I was built to destroy, not to ache like this.”
“If they see what I am, they’ll kill you.”
“I tried to stay away. I failed.”
“You touch me like I’m still human.”
“Loving you made me monstrous.”
DEATHLESS GOODBYES
partings that echo forever
“We have said goodbye in every century.”
“I will wait for you again. I always do.”
“If I don’t let go, the world ends.”
“This is where eternity breaks us.”
“I’ll find you after the stars burn out.”
ONE MORTAL, ONE ETERNAL
time as the true villain
“You grow older. I don’t.”
“I will bury you and keep breathing.”
“I hate time for loving you.”
“Say you don’t regret this.”
“I’ll remember you long after the world forgets my name.”
LOVE THAT DEFIES DEATH—AND LOSES
descent into underworlds, broken laws of life
“I walked through hell to bring you back.”
“The dead don’t return unchanged.”
“We broke the laws of gods for this.”
“Death will never forgive us.”
“If loving you damns me, so be it.”
AFTER THE WORLD ENDS
what remains when eternity is empty
“There is nothing left to rule.”
“The stars are gone. You are not.”
“I won—and lost everything.”
“Eternity is unbearable without you.”
“I would trade immortality for one more moment.”
A LOVE TOO BIG FOR THE COSMOS
truth without mercy
“Some loves were never meant to be saved.”
“We were beautiful. We were catastrophic.”
“The universe still echoes with our names.”
“They will call us a warning.”
“And still—I would choose you again.”
Send " ❗❗❗ " for your muse to suddenly and unexpectedly kiss mine.

she did leave. he had every right to point the finger at her for that one, regardless of what the reason was. but there was a reason. a witch, actually, who she knew they all almost semi trusted if only because she seemed to hate the others as much as klaus did. who offered the promise of the chance to get to check up on her baby, which was enough to do the trick. between the cabin fever and the curiosity, hayley found it was almost impossible to say no.
he was mad. he should be mad. but he was the one to let the witch into their home to begin with. he was the one plotting and scheming behind closed doors, making decisions about things that very much involved her. she made one decision. one stupid one, sure, but what mother would have done differently?
" it's just a baby, " she finally said, frustration laced in her tone. it wasn't until he stopped them to accuse her that she realized the toll it all took on her body. weeks of not being able to turn, plus hormones, plus all the fighting and running she'd just done was not a healthy combination apparently. all the rage and fire, the fight or flight instinct she'd been drowning in for the past few hours, was finally beginning to dim down a bit and she was going to crash eventually.
not before defending herself though.
" all of this just to... i mean, it's an innocent baby. i feel it. i saw it. i heard a heartbeat finally, and it's normal. i just wanted to see it for myself. and they want us dead so badly, and-and i fought back. i fought like hell. and then the wolf- " she glances back, as if she was going to see it in the busy streets. she must've sounded insane, but it was all true. " the wolf showed up, and there was so much blood. and i ran. i ran so much and then you found me. " finally, she let out a breath. and then a series of deep breaths she didn't realize she was desperate for before finally letting her gaze meet his own.
" you're hurting me. " hayley blinks, brows pulling together as she tried to put on her defensive mask. but all there was left was exhaustion. honestly, his grip on her arm was good. it almost felt like it was holding her together.

okay, so it was bad. hayley tilted her head to the side, taking in the sight of her latest work of art one more time. she might've even been able to admire it if it weren't so damn messy. usually she wouldn't care. a little mess sent a good message sometimes - the kind of message that made others think twice before screwing with her. but none of that really worked in her favor when she was trying to keep things lowkey. and she was trying to keep things lowkey.
" in my defense, he was really squirm-y. it was kind of embarrassing, actually. " finally her gaze tears away from the body on the ground in favor of looking at damon. " don't worry, i've got it. just stand guard. wouldn't want you breaking a nail, princess. " she shoves past him, eyes rolling as she grabbed a shovel from the ground and began digging.
