5. & 14.

5. guilty pleasures

Above all else, chocolate. If you need to make a quick deal or get on his good side, a bar of dark chocolate is the way to go, strangely enough. This weakness would never be admitted, however, so it’s best to observe from afar and put the knowledge to good use later.

14. what it takes to make them cry

Though he is not prone to the action nor can recall a time when he’s cried within his lifetime, Orion does shut down. It can potentially be worse than the shedding of a tear. He suspects that if he ever did; the result would be from being the reason someone extraordinarily close to him was killed, especially if he himself was the murderer.

confess

“You’re a dick and an asshole. I’ve never met someone in my life that I’ve wanted to both knock out and embrace at the same time more than you. I love you like a brother and that’s what you’ll always be to me. But…I’m terrified you’ll leave again. I want to forgive you for it. And for everything else, I do. But not for leaving. I understand why you did it, I understand why you never called – I get it. I just can’t forget, no matter how hard I try. Every day I’m reminded it could be the day you leave again. I want it to change. I want to be brothers again. Just wish I could say you want the same.”

HC + strength

Control of oneself and one’s actions is a strength Sebastian both admires in others and craves for himself. Strength of will, resolve. For him, strength is far less about throwing a punch or lifting a heavy object, despite the fact that his power enhances his own physical capabilities. Strength is pressing on in the face of difficult or seemingly impossible odds. It’s being able to approach the edge but keep from tumbling over.

greed

Something your muse can’t get enough of:

Any music with a stringed instrument. She just loves the sound of violins and cellos and finds them relaxing and beautiful. Her current favourite is any covers of more modern songs using them, liking the contrast and different take on it all.

HC + hope

To Naomi, hope is a fickle and flighty thing. Hope is all well and good for maybe making yourself feel better every now and again, after all it’s what she clung to during her day in containment. It was all she could do. But, hope won’t do jack shit if you don’t get off your ass and do something. It is useless without the push, the drive and the effort to move forward to go with it.

☤ - a memory of death/loss

It should be a memory of his father. The man was murdered. It was bloody and violent. But the most prominent memory of death and loss in Wes’s life isn’t of his father dying in a rain of bullets. It’s of his mother, laying in a hospital bed, not looking like the woman who’d raised him anymore. Small and skinny, pale and frail, weak. Tubes weaving in and out of her trying to keep her human. Wes thinks they did a poor job of it. 

She didn’t have any parting words for him. Didn’t say anything memorable or anything to give him closure. She’d told him that it hurt. She’d complained about the doctor. She’d passed away at night while he’d been at home in his bed. 

It wasn’t pretty and it wasn’t peaceful. There was no romanticizing her death -- it was ugly and unfair. He misses her greatly.

Ailie had an incredibly happy childhood and she loved almost ever moment of it. The only time she can remember not being happy at home was when her great aunt visited. The woman was ancient and the young Ailie found her endlessly intimidating. There was no softness about her and more often than not she would spend the entire duration of the woman’s stay holed up in her room as she tried no to be notice.

★ - sad headcanon

There are so nights that there’s nothing she can do but cry. She cries for the lives she took, for the people she’s lost, for how she’s let herself end up so alone. Tears fall for all the people she shut out and pulled away from. But mostly they fall because she doesn’t know how to change any of it. She’s still not in control of her powers and until that happens there’s no changing it.
