@andfurther / plotted starter.
sitting in the grass, ella gently clips away at the weeds surrounding the flowers. wiping a bit of sweat off of her forehead, she looks up when a shade takes away the sun off of her back. a girn immediately finds her lips upon laying eyes on quentin, surprised to see that eliot didn’t travel along with him. ❝ quentin, it is good to see you. what brings you this way? ❞
angst royalty / @andfurther !
FILLORY. QUENTIN’S saving grace through all the dark periods in his life. he understands why margo and eliot conspired to bring him here after everything. after quentin came back from death and wasn’t exactly as euphoric as everyone thought he should be. and he didn’t necessarily disagree with them. but it also felt like a lot curled up under his chest without anyone to talk to about it. MAYBE to alice, but things were still... strange between them.
SO FILLORY. where he isn’t really king anymore ( apparently there’d been a whole moment there with a dark king and the end of fillory while he’d been dead; he wasn’t sure he understood it all ), not really. but it does feel like a version of home for him. maybe it can fix him. he’s only vaguely people-watching as the castle comes and goes, a half-forgotten cup of wine curled in his hand. the face catches him subcociously first, not realizing what it is about her that makes him glance up. and then he sees her. REALLY sees her, and before he knows what he’s doing, he’s standing.
❝ ora, ❞ he says with shock, the name out of his mouth before he can stop it.

“ oh, bambi. ” the words come on the tail end of a sigh, margo sinking further into him like all the fight’s rushed out of her at once. like eliot’s finally given her the permission she needed to let her guard down, even a little. he knows it’s more than a privilege, getting to see her like this; as open as she ever gets, finally allowing the exhaustion she so viciously staves off settle on her shoulders, show on her face. eliot presses a kiss to the top of her head, breathes in the ludicrously expensive shampoo she uses, eyes drifting shut. margo’s breathing starts to even to something deep and slow, more of her weight resting against him until eliot’s sure she’s completely slumped against him, lax with sleep.
they must both drift off like that, ensconced in a dark corner of the common room, because when eliot eventually peels open bleary eyes, the sunlight streaming through the windows has been replaced with soft, ambient lighting. someone’s put on some alternative band eliot’s never heard before, but it reminds him of being fourteen and hunkering down in the barn to listen to the CDs his father would’ve snapped in half if he’d ever found them... and, of course, thinking about indiana brings on the same overwhelming urge to drink, so he jostles margo gently. she swats at him, practically growling, and eliot just shakes her a little harder. “ rise and shine, sleeping beauty. cocktail hour has arrived. ”

it’s been a while since they’d last done this, and even longer since eliot has let himself relax completely. it’s not like fillory’s turned into a nest of vipers overnight --- the damn place has been trying to kill them since the day the crowns touched their heads. but the messes have been compounding as of late, a seemingly endless shower of clusterfucks raining down on them and threatening to drown eliot. he’s barely keeping his head above water, and he wouldn’t be if it weren’t for margo. so he’s more than happy to submit to her attentions, to the firm but gentle hands guiding him to lay with his head in his lap, and surrender to the deft fingers carding through his hair --- careful with the tangles and snarls, as always.
“ you know someone is going to interrupt us sooner or later. ” it’ll probably be tick, sweeping in with another crisis for them to deal with, or q stumbling in to drop another quest in their laps... admittedly, eliot has more tolerance for the latter, but he’ll also have to endure margo’s ceaseless mockery if she catches him watching quentin with “puppy dog eyes” again. he’s already being subjected to her grumbling at the very notion of their fragile serenity being disturbed --- peeking an eye open confirms that yes, she is scrunching her nose up, brows furrowed, and mouth pursed in something he’s always described as the bastard child of a pout and a snarl. “ you’re adorable when you’re outraged, bambi. ”

all the roads i've been before / same mistakes always got me shakin' / and all the signs i once ignored / in my denial, i didn't want to face them / i can see clearly now / the rain has gone / i accept all the things that i cannot change / gone are the dark clouds / the dawn has come / it's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day.
🎵 — eliot waugh — lovely by billie eilish and khalid.
oh, I hope some day i'll make it out of here / even if it takes all night or a hundred years / need a place to hide / but i can't find one near / wanna feel alive / outside i can fight my fear / isn't it lovely, all alone? / heart made of glass / my mind of stone / tear me to pieces / skin to bone / hello, welcome home.
🎵 — julia wicker — praying by kesha.
i’m proud of who i am / no more monsters / i can breathe again / and you said that i was done / well, you were wrong / and now the best is yet to come / 'cause i can make it on my own / i found a strength i’ve never known / i’ll bring thunder, i’ll bring rain / when i’m finished they won’t even know your name.
🎵 — kady orloff - diaz — these days by mighty oaks.
used to know wrong from right / but it’s just a faded line now / and you can call me a liar / it won't hang me higher / these days, both my eyes are blood red / these days, it's been hard to get out of bed / these days, life's been kicking my ass / these days, oh, they gotta pass / keep on keepin' on they say / and i keep on, until i find a better way.
🎵 — kamran shirazi — keep your head up by andy grammer.
the glow that the sun gets / right around sunset / helps me realise / that this is just a journey / drop your worries / you are gonna turn out fine / oh, you turn out fine / but you gotta keep your head up / and you can let your hair down / i know it’s hard / to remember sometimes / but you gotta keep your head up
🎵 — penny adiyodi — mouth of the river by imagine dragons.
i want to live a life like that / live the life of the faithful one / wanna bow to the floor with everybody else / wanna be someone / i want to make some love / i don’t want no enemies / it’s the curse of the man / always living life / living just to please / on the mouth of the river / and the wrath of the giver / with the hands of a sinner
