Just thinking about how “Thief” “Obviously” is literally the most iconic first encounter out there, marecal stays superior

[ladymacbeths]

I move because he won’t, taking us both by surprise. My lips mold to his with ferocity, and I pull him in. His heat falls like a blanket around my shoulders. I fight to keep my sparks from doing the same. Still, the hairs on his neck rise, responding to the electric current jumping in the air. Neither of us closes our eyes. This might still be a dream. He comes to his senses first, scooping me off my feet. A dozen faces pretend to look away in some semblance of property. I don’t care. Let them look. I’ve been forced to worse in front of a crowd.

— what a strange constellation they all were

[whumpster-dumpster]

Character A tilting Character B’s chin up to get a better look at their face and the evidence of the fight. A delicately thumbs away the streak of blood by B’s mouth, saying nothing as they examine it. After a brief pause, B’s heart skips a nervous beat as A looks them dead in the eyes. Their voice is quiet and tense, their anger barely restrained.

“Who did this to you?”
