@krxkor​ | smoll starter call

“And I fell from the pedestal, right down the rabbit hole. Long story short, it was a bad time.” Monty prefers to keep the explanation short, he’s come to hate dwelling on events of the past. Still he feels joy at this meeting with Riley and the chance to catch up after all these years. Surely they’ve both changed a lot.

I wish you a happy birthday and a year ahead filled with light!

Thank you very much! I hope your 2022 is equally filled with light.

"The time has come to realise there will be promises I can't keep" (from Riley but also a Mare vibe)

i'm currently reading this book // @krxkor (riley)

marian said this to her, once, too. and now, days, weeks, months, years down the line, riley says the same thing. udyati looks up at him. her eyes are so much like her mom's right now: narrowed, distrustful, disappointed. "then don't make them. i'm sick and tired of losing people. sick of it, you hear me?!" her voice shakes, breaks, and she pretends it doesn't. "and i---i don't want to go through that anymore. never again."

"There must be quite a few things a hot bath won't cure, but I don't know many of them. So why don't you go get some rest for once?" (from Hulda)

askbox fun // @krxkor (hulda)

"i don't know if i can," udyati says quietly. she's still keyed up from the second burned one attack. she is not an elemental fairy. merely a doorway fairy. which means she is not nearly as important. she swallows audibly. "i didn't tell anyone. about the first attack. and i won't start now. but... but i'm scared, ma'am. what if it happens again?"

❛ i didn’t say to come back for it, i said to leave it behind. ❜ (from Riley)

i only made it to 1x10 // @krxkor (riley)

this torrential downpour will be the death of her even though she can't die. udyati's decided that it will kill her all the same for it drowns out her words, her voice, and so she merely pushes the book on ghosts into riley's hands, rings glinting. she turns her back to his place of residence, and him with it. perhaps he'll need it later. or perhaps he doesn't. but his best friend gave him this book, did he not? in their line of, well, existence good friends are hard to come by.

she thinks, briefly, of a pirate with a shock of dark hair and eyes as blue as the seas and skies combined who, perhaps, would have loved a storm like this. because with storms like this, it's like the world screams as loudly as possible and bares it's teeth for all to see.

"so you did!" udyati has to scream as loudly as possible in order to be heard too. "your best friend gave you this book! it's best you hold onto it!" preferably underneath his coat so it doesn't get any wetter than it already has. "you don't honor his memory by pretending he never existed!"

if i had anything of his other than whispered words and the precious memory of his touch, i would never, ever leave it behind.

there is a fierce longing for days long past as she stares up at riley's face. fat droplets make their way down his cheek and clumps of her dark hair stick to her own. a clap of thunder brings them back to the present and a flash of lightning illuminates the door that udyati's looking at and, together, they step through it.

❛ did you know that icicles make the perfect murder weapon? ❜ (from Helene)

winter wonderland // @krxkor (helene)

"actually, yes. yes i do." immediately her hands fly upwards, as if to pacify the other. "bear with me here. please. this needs to be explained, otherwise you'll think i'm a weirdo." 

udyati runs a hand through her hair, sighs a little, and begins her explanation: "i played this professor layton video game once and you play as a constable named lucy and you're trying to solve cases together with professor layton's son, al. and in one of the cases, a lady killed rich people for their insurance money. and she did it with an icicle. or, rather, a knife made out of ice, which she later boiled in a pot of spaghetti."

@krxkor​ asked :  sage  | BOTANICAL HEADCANONS

what is your muse’s legacy ? what do they want to be remembered for &  what might they actually be remembered for ?

I think Monty would like to be remembered for living instead of just surviving and for doing that boldly and unapologetically. he wants to be remembered for the version he became, the one that went through hardship & prevailed, that doesn’t drink, that runs a business & travels. But mostly he wants to be remembered for loving. Obviously that’s limited to the few people who know about him & Percy, but that’s not the point. As long as these people & most importantly Percy, know how lucky he was to spend his life with him - that’s all that matters to Monty. And while he might still mostly be remembered for all the disasters he was involved in (bigger and smaller), I can imagine that the thought of him brings a smile or a kind of affectionate sigh to the lips of those who new him & honestly? That’s absolutely fine with Monty. And if he & the unconventional path he chose can perhaps serve as an inspiration to others in a similar dark place - even better.

if you run, you can’t see what’s coming up from behind you. (from punzel)

i never finished the punisher // @krxkor (punzel)

"true, but if you stay in place, you get killed by a vengeful would be queen turned former mayor. or, rather, vengeful usurper turned former mayor. since that's what she was in those enchanted woods of yours. and, uh, no one was gonna say it, so i had to."

there's a lot of energy thrumming in her veins. the urge to throw open the nearest door and slip through it grows with each passing second but that urge is only eclipsed by the need to stay, to stand, to fight. to do what's right. by herself, and the people in this little town that she's slowly grown to love.

"why is everyone so afraid of her? why isn't anyone standing up to her?!"
