Sleepless In NY || Closed

@andsundrymuses liked for a starter.

Sleeping problems was nothing unusual among the Avengers, they all had their share of unpleasant memories, and this night it was Bruce’s turn. As usual, he’d decided to spend the time in his lab, if he can’t sleep, then at least he can do something useful. However, after a couple of hours, he found himself drawn to the landing pad. It wasn’t usually a space where they spent time, but for some reason he needed the air. Standing close to the edge, although not so close there was any danger, he looked out over the city. It was awake as always.

In a state on contemplation, Bruce lost the sense of time and had no idea how long had passed when he heard steps behind him. Looking over his shoulder he noticed Steve approaching him. “Hi, Cap. Can’t sleep?” Why else would he be awake?

Desire To Stop || Sibyl & Nasir

wyldlittledog asked:

❝ This won’t stop you. Nothing stops you. ❞

Sibyl shook her head.  He was wrong. This would.

"It feels as if there is a shackle, tighter than any I have ever known, wrapped around chest and throat and breathing is a battle I do not know if I can win."

It was as close as she knew how to describe the feeling of absolute and complete pain and loss that was weighing her down. She had once told Gannicus that there was no life absent his touch and it seemed that she might just get to see how true that statement was. She had been in severe pain before -- who among their number had not -- but this was worse than anything she had ever felt and she wasn't sure that she could survive this.

She wasn’t sure that she wanted to.

Zombie Bullshit || Mahdi & Nasir

Continued from HERE.

Mahdi tried to give his brother what he hoped was a reassuring look. Yes, he was feeling beaten down and discouraged, but there was no reason for him to let Nasir know just how hopeless he was feeling right at the moment. Ever since this damn thing started, they had been constantly fighting just to survive.

“I won’t give up, I don’t think my mind even knows the definition of that phrase.” Not that he didn’t sometimes wonder what would have happened if he had not survived the initial outbreak. “I would never do that to you, Nasir.” He shook his head. “Ignore me.  The exhaustion must be getting to me today.”

Miraculous Survival || Naevia & Nasir

Naevia was positive that she was going to meet her end before she found treasured brother and friends. She was somewhat convinced that she had already perished and this journey was some kind of hell that she needs must go through in order to be reunited with her heart on the sands of the Afterlife.

She should be dead.

The wounds given to her on the battlefield at the hands of Caesar and his men should have killed her. When his sword entered her body, it should have been slicing into her neck and shoulder as how Diona had been executed so long ago.

Diona, my sweet friend. What would you think of me, now?

Waking up in the pile of bodies on the battlefield was something that she had not expected. There was blood all around her – her own face and upper body were coated in it – but she could hear and feel and…

She was not happy about it at all. That she should somehow be clinging to life when so many had perished. When Crixus had fallen.

It was some hours before she could manage to move any part of her own body, and even then it was past dark when she finally pulled herself away from the rest of the fallen and into a ditch nearby. She lay there, trying to get her strength because she knew she could not stay there. She had to be gone long before the sun rose lest the Roman cocks found her.

Somehow, she found herself on her feet and stumbling back in the direction that their people had been camped. She knew the direction they would travel in to get to the mountains and then over them.

She did not know how many days she passed in travel as the pain and the weakness was causing her to drift in and out of reality. Sometimes Melitta was with her or Diona or Mira. Most times, though, it was Crixus or even Spartacus that spoke to her and urged her to keep on. She would not, could not give up. She knew her wounds were dangerous and she had tended them as best as she could, but with friends walking with her and holding onto her, she could not fail.

She had to reach the survivors and see with own eyes who lived and who survived. Then maybe, maybe she would be ready to let go – even if Crixus and Spartacus said that she must not.

14. which muse has the most aus or verses? 19. for each muse, is there a character you wish had a blog so you could interact with them? [also hi! *waves]

MULTIMUSE QUESTIONS !!!

14. which muse has the most aus or verses?

caius and aline are tied, I think ( 6 each ) !! but aline would win if I counted a private verse I used to have. I’m counting a current ‘private-ish’ verse already to tie them. both come from ancient times when I used to try and write verses to account for the main fandoms I’d be likely to write. now I don’t bother so much! 

19. for each muse, is there a character you wish had a blog so you could interact with them?

for each? like i have to go through all of them? jeez… I’m gonna leave out my ocs, for obvious reasons. though I would give anything for someone to write andrew from aurora’s backstory for me. also leaving my dw muses off because they’re super low activity atm. 

Caius: I would die for someone to write virgilia or volumnia for me  ( denisa, nisa, I’m looking at you two ). or aufidius. I’d take aufidius too. Cami: Vincent. Enough said.Jim: I want a spock to write an au verse to match jim’s. a friend nearly did when I first made jim’s blog way back ages ago, but then they kinda… disappeared and we never got to write the thing. Delenn: sheridan, for obvious reasons. Also draal and neroon. and lennier! I almost want to say I want someone to write sinclair because he and delenn are THE most important to me, but also sinclair is very special to me and I would like to keep him all to myself. I’d be too critical of other portrayals, I think. Sinclair: I moved him to his own blog but shhh… I need a garibaldi again. I had one and then they left. but also marcus. I had one of those too but they’re not around anymore :( but also sheridan because reasons.

       things are a bit nutty at the byers house these days. between the party, jonathan and nancy, and now jane coming and going, joyce often feels more like a ZOOKEEPER than a parent. which is why, when she hears a knock on the door, she sighs. she’d finally gotten everyone out and was just settling down with a book when it rang out through the small residence. ❝ whatever you forgot, can it j... ❞ SHE STOPS. the girl standing there is someone she’s never met. ❝ i’m sorry... can i help you ? ❞
