06 - fierce - Unlikely Union

„It will be a little bit difficult!” Michelle announced.

Adramelech looked up with a warily questionable feeling. In the middle of work. It felt somewhat… ominous. “…ah?” He said.

“Not too much, after all, the mansion is too impersonal anyway. Who would want to live there. They will have to bend to her wishes,” Chelle nodded.

Adramelech’s eyes narrowed: “… err…?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll get a much bigger bed. And open up our private quarters to a little more space,” she nodded again.

There was a pregnant pause. And Adra put his work down, cleared his throat and said: “Michelle. Whatever it is you are talking about. I do believe renovations are not only your concern.” There was a lot to unpack there, but this one could be discredited first.

She stared at him, frowning. He looked back evenly.

There was a deep huff, then: “But if she lives with us we need more space! Be reasonable, Adra! Seriously!”

For a moment, he closed his eyes and shook his head slightly. ‘What’ would not result in any sensible answer after all. Instead, he opted for: “… did you already… acquire consent from the lady in question?”

“Mh? Oh, no, I just decided Gabe would life with us now. I love her! So she’ll live here and we’ll all be happier”

Adra blinked. Very slowly. Then he said: “… I believe she is married, as are you, for that matter”

She turned and looked at him, puzzled for a moment, then: “Aw, I love you, too! There is absolutely no need to worry! You are a great husband!”

Weirdly, this actually… helped. Or at least felt good to hear. Then he remembered that really hadn’t been the main problem.

He opened his mouth to question her more, when she already waved her hand at him: “I’ll go get her!” And left with a smile.

… maybe fierceness will get her through the positioned guards?

She certainly looked like she could.

…

He would have some time to console her in the evening. He hoped.

This was all rather strange.

[YOI Ficlet || Isolation]

His finger prickles a thorn; harsh and sharp, its lethal tip crying in front of a gradient glow. Clear red jewels, not once lamented as it hit the ground, triggering miniature crimson pools. Artemis, isolated and cornered as she let the peaks of her arrow strike the truth.

There is only one truth in a multitude of lies.

Viktor holds an impossible in his hand. Homicidal arrows whisked from thin, frigid ice— Viktor soars. The blades of his skates carving figures— doves flying on blood soaked skies and sun-drowned galaxies, Artemis cries on puddles of habromania; the scent of a dying dream. The walls shrinks, the gaps in between the trees tightening until they seemed to be woven threads.

Viktor lands his first quadruple flip. 

He swore— he opens his palms and reaches out for the skies.

He swore.

He swore—

She was a mirage, fading in and out of existence— ilunga flowing whilst the golden ickor in her veins. He swore; he apologized; he promised. She flung out the beast, iron instilled in tangled strings, drawing out each breath as if it’s her last. Querencia. He was home. The sun, the playful skies— Apollo was home. Now—

He will die.

Viktor breaks the International Junior Records.

Orion glows in the sky, a fervent caim that fills the broken promises in her heart. No one will know; Hyacinthus taking his last breaths to bloom hyacinths. No one will know, sedate roses stitched on every gap of his skin. His blood cracked open rivers. His last breaths casting the empty fogs whenever she cries, isolated and alone.

You aren’t alone.

Viktor smiles, youth springing with each step. Blue roses stitched in a crown atop his head, heavy metal hanging on his neck.

Do you know what blue roses mean?

They aren’t real. They are inconceivable realities----

She tells his stories on a warm hearth, her silver arrows stunted; Orion glaring down at her with lithe playfulness as he shines— breaths in from above.

Viktor wore a dream on his head, a stitched-up velleite wrapped in tacenda.

Black mirror seas 3 ep 2

this episode is about this man who leaves his house early in the morning. His mom tries to call hi  but he doesnt answer and say hes at work. soon it shows him on a plain, we dont know where hes going or why he left. soon hes landed in Australia, now we know hes traveling. he keeps moving from different places but hes getting lonely. he then meets this girl from a dating app. they sleep together and his mom calls him. She tells him to call his mom back before it gets too late. I think it was quite smart to show that he actually felt something for her so it can foreshadow for later in the episode. Soon after the whole house ordeal with the two of them he goes to buy a plane ticket back to home, but his card won’t go though and it will take weeks for them to figure out how much money he didn’t send. So he goes to this place where they start this experiment on him. They take him to this house where they’ll track his fears and how the prototype is doing. Soon after a while in the house the lady he had one night stand with is there and she’s trying to get him out but he’s denying, knowing she’s a figment of his imagination. She stabs him, and then he kills her. They think that’s he’s insane because he said that he felt the pain of the knife, even though it was impossible. They try to get him out as soon as possible before he rips out the machine in his head and dies. Once he’s out he gets the money to go home, he sees his mom and she try’s calling him to make sure he’s safe, when we realize that it was all in his head and he died when he mom made the call. This episode really stressed me because there was so much going on at once that it just scrambled my brain. Reccomended that you watch it though.
