What do they think about before falling asleep at night?

Hopefully nothing at all. With all that happens during the day on the job, Anne's sleeping schedule is irregular at best, so she sleeps when she can. During regular nights, she often exhausts herself until she falls asleep without having the odd moments of lying awake in bed and having intrusive thoughts. It works actually quite well; if she's mentally stable, she can fall asleep right on the spot. She prefers to have her mind absolutely blank.During bad days, it changes. It’s like lying in bed and every embarrassing thing coming to mind. Just with her, it’s every mistake, every failure, every life she took. This causes insomnia which she tries to fight with sleeping pills.

So it’s understandable that she hopes to fall asleep immediately.

          “Charlie, look ah -... ah dunnae what to say, but ah cannae. Alrigh’? ah cannae go back.” Squeezes his eyes shut and he covers his face with his hands, exhaling loudly as he scrubs at his face before finally looking over at his former wing mate.  “It’s no’ -... tae feelin’ of gettin’ back, of gaun’ back is jus’ -... ah cannae. Ah’m sorry, lad.”

1. 

a flash of blonde, no more than five and a half feet tall steps out of the cockpit of a spitfire. it’s the early months of 1940, and jac’s still getting used to flying all the time. she’s as much of a spitfire as her plane; all she can offer is a grin that bounces like her curls, she meets ferrier’s gaze and quips,

“what, have you never seen a woman fly a plane before?”

2.

she sees him again in the mess, sitting with buddies in his unit. she doesn’t pick a fight but one comes to her anyway. a snide remark from someone and she’s ready to go until he’s there, a hand on her shoulder, trying to keep her back. she doesn’t know the man and he’s already getting on her nerves.

“i don’t need someone to protect me.” the other guy most definitely did.

3.

the thought of the war makes her sick, but there wasn’t anything she could do at home, so she went abroad. they were taking pilots in england and she had learned how to fly with her brother. her brother who had no ties and enlisted. who she begged not to go. she didn’t tell him she was leaving until she was in the uk. 

jac is at a table, loopy cursive on raf stationary, wishing her brother luck and telling him where she is. ferrier finds her there, and joins her, hands up in a sort of surrender. so they really talk, open and honest and raw.

“how do you think all of this is gonna end?”

✍ for Todd ?

✍ : What is your muse’s handwriting like? Is it neat? Sloppy? Fancy?

When writing music/lyrics Todd’s handwriting is neat and easy to read bc no one wants to try and read music that looks like it was written by a left handed person writing with their right hand lmao

his regular righting tho? curvy, fancy, looks like he penned the letter in the 18th century with some ink and a quill ( also has a habit of using shorthand when in a hurry so, uh, have fun reading shorthand in squiggly font )
