@braverson said : ❛ if it’s the right thing to do ❜
nothing is right when organs are twisted and created anew just for the pleasure of invention. he feels like a fucking hybrid car ⎯⎯⎯ the moving of the goalpost from fiction to reality turned man rather than idea. richard is the proof ; the suffering is just an unfortunate byproduct, regardless of righteousness or questionable morality.
❝ no one knows what the right thing to do is, ❞ pain makes him mean, but the human instinct for survival against all odds makes him one of the sheep abel supposedly tends to. ❝ but here i am, waiting for you to tell me that you do, because you're so fucking divine, or something. ❞
⌖ 𝒲ALL OF TEXT, from @braverson.
he lets out a soft, dry snort, his shoulders shaking as a brief burst of static crackles like muffled applause. proof? he really wants proof of his affection to show an exorcist? oh abel, you’re either the bravest soul in hell or the most delusional. probably a bit of both! he can just see her face now— it would be worth a thousand souls to see her scowl at a glowing testimonial from him.
then again, is good boy not enough for him anymore? he is becoming quite the demanding little lamb.
❝ to show lute? mhm, sure… & as for yesterday, my memory is famously selective... but i wouldn't bet on my forgetting that. ❞
from: ( @braverson ) [TXT] : i told you not to do that .
to: abel 😑 [txt]: i am aware of that. and yet, here we are.
@braverson said ;; ❝ i guess you could say i just want to have a meaningful relationship with someone special. ❞
ok, sure, that was absolutely reasonable. lute could understand that sentiment. but she still wasn't about to just accept the fact that he had gotten himself into such a situation. and it was a reminder that she hadn't been able to do anything to keep anyone in this family safe. she had lost her arm to try and keep adam safe, but he had still fallen in battle. she had tried to avenge his murder, but had been turned away at every opportunity.
and now, because she had gotten herself kicked out of heaven, she was unable to stop his son from getting tied up in something even she could see was a bad idea.
" you're telling me that there was no one else that could give you that? no one in heaven, no one who isn't... " a sinner. the kind of person she and his father had spent so long killing for sport. " abel, you deserve better than that. " there had to have been a better option, someone that could love him in a way that... well, wasn't like this. a golden hand reached out to touch the stitches she could see. " even i know that real relationships don't hurt like that. "
what if he doesn’t say anything , but he just stares at her ,
CALL HER OUT
what if she just stares right back at him. daring him to say anything. coward.
@braverson said : ❛ god wanted a blood sacrifice. that's exactly what he got. ❜
god carries blood between their teeth. reynard knows, he can taste the metallic aftertaste when he drags the tip of his tongue across his bottom lip. scarred hands are open, wait patiently for permission to drag fingers through feathers ⎯⎯⎯ knows from personal experience the intimacy of care, but keeps his own wings hidden from view. sees no point in using them as a shield from divine prying eyes.
❝ your god is vengeful. they, too, are a hungry creature.❞ yet his kind is the one banished. yet his bloodlust is deemed dangerous. all his people have done is sacrifice flesh to the stars. ❝ did it hurt ? ❞ fingers touch the spine, gentle against the flesh that covers bone, hot on their path across vertebrae. ❝ did it hurt when your blood became a sacrifice, and your flesh went to waste ? ❞
@braverson said ;; vengeance is hollow , lute . it isn’t worth a thing ,
how many times had she tried to push for someone to give a shit, only for them to tell her that it wasn't the time? that she couldn't go down and rain fire down upon those who had taken her commander from them. that she couldn't take care of the fire that had been burning her from the inside since she had watched the light leave his eyes. as if she was the one who was wrong for not being able to forget all of that.
" how would you know that? " the words are snapped out, cruel and sharp, as lute's wings flare out defensively and she turns on abel. on the son of the man she had followed into battle time and time again. " when was the last time you stood for anything? when you actually decided that something was worth fucking fighting for? " he was the first one to be murdered, but did he want to do anything about it? had he ever...?
her fists clenched at her side, and she forced herself away. " you may have decided long ago to be able to ignore everything, hide away with your little lambs, but i can't do that. he deserves better than that. " something that no one else seemed to realize, it seemed.
