I don’t draw a breath without knowing my perimeter is secure. That’s why I’m still alive.

Things weren’t so ‘secure’ when Liz was killed. Well????

I know that last ficlet was meant to be fluffy, but now all I can think about is how Red actually *would* love the idea of an eternity with his Lizzie...and I’m 🥺😭

Ummmm yesssss.... so I am going to link here a fic I read recently over on ao3 by @cress-26 and then you can decide if you want to cry your eyeballs out or what, but it's really beautiful. Just, you may not stop crying. Ok.

“It’s not necessarily the close of the series, but we are resolving a sprawling story that we’ve been telling for eight years, and we’re going to have a real understanding of why this man came into Elizabeth Keen’s life, why she’s in danger, why Katarina did what she did. - Jon Bokenkamp

Next week’s episode is another one that isn’t your typical episode of The Blacklist. What can you share about what’s next? The promise of the next episode, which we are incredibly excited about, is to really walk through, almost as a document, eight years of mythology. We’re going back to the night of the fire, we’re going back to Cape May, we’re going back to pivotal moments that have defined why Raymond Reddington came into Elizabeth Keen’s life, and we’ve never really done this before. For diehard fans, and for casual viewers, it’s going to be a really eye-opening, enlightening, and satisfying episode. It is titled “Nachalo,” which is the Russian word for “the beginning.” We really are going back to the beginning to hear the story be told, and it’s done in a very artful and yet surreal and unusual way that really is not like anything we’ve ever done. - Jon Bokenkamp

Conclusion: S9 will be a different show.

LIES.

[heatherpeters-deactivated202111]

Blatant, unforgiveable, deceiving, tricking, deceitful, falsehood, mendacity, prevarication, misconception, and most of all, LIES ~ in other words, we were, purposely, and with malice, shot in the back.

I know my rambling ass has already thrown a long af Lizzington playlist at your face, but I couldn't stop thinking and listening to a song with Lizzington feels. I couldn't help myself from letting this out. 'Love Songs Ain't For Us' by Amy Shark feat Keith Urban to me suits them from Liz's perspective. It's almost like a representation of their relationship as a slow dance so to speak. She is caught off guard by him with his charms, mysteriousness and his protectiveness and care towards her. At the same time, she's also startled by her own budding feelings for him.

At this point in their relationship, they're not yet "lovers" as the song describes, but they share this intimate, deep, unconditional bond and understanding with each other. She's comfortable with them just being them. They don't need the fanfare, wide grand gestures of their love cause it's not their thing. They'll have their hurts and pain along the way, but, as I paraphrase from the song, for them "it's perfect nights, open doors, feeling safe and the crazy rush to feel like us". It's a considerably happier song compared to the normal angsty-ness of Lizzington songs.

-Rambling anon 😅

Good morning Rambling Anon! Ahhh thank you for sharing this one with us - it's nice getting a more Lizzie perspective song! And a happy one at that 😉

Caught in the moment

Midnight in the room

My breath and heart

Got taken by you

And it's almost perfect tonight

As the storm is raging outside

One kiss and I open my eyes

You're not yet a lovеr

But you're more than a friend

Thеre are some things you know

But things you can't understand

*muffled screaming into a pillow*

Yeppp they call these things romantic tropes for a reason right?? I mean, we've had scenes that basically follow along with the song lyrics, and the song is most definitely a love song (despite its title lol)

My favourite thing you said is that they don't need the fanfare or grand gestures etc. (I mean WE KNOW Red would totally do the grand gestures sometimes) simply being in eachother's presence is enough for them.

And that's really beautiful to me 💛🥲

Thanks for this lovely rec!! Pop in anytime lol I'll brew your hot bevvie of choice and we'll chat about lyrics
