Angst 11 for Evelyn

angst prompt 11. “it’s over, it’s done, just leave it be,” + evelyn harper (bloodborne)

***

“It’s over, it’s done, just leave it be,” Evelyn barely registered Djura’s voice as he firmly pried the gun from her hands. She didn’t even notice how hard she was gripping it, like a lifeline, an anchor that helped her keep the emotions from drowning her sanity; without it her eyes instead focused on the intricate carvings it left etched into the skin of her bloody palms. 

“It’s her blood. I can’t… I can’t believe she’s gone,” her voice was quiet and breathy, she hated that so much of her emotions slipped through but had no strength to hold them back. “She said she’d be fine, and I trusted her like fool, without even checking up on her injuries. And she was bleeding so much, she was sitting in a pool of her own blood by the time I got out and was in pain and tired, and–”

A heavy hand settled onto her shoulder. It wasn’t as comforting as she needed it to be, but it was warm and it cut the unintelligible chatter of her guilty thoughts short for which she was thankful for.

“It’s not your fault, kid. She knew the risks and had a long night behind her,” Djura nodded firmly as he turned his gaze from her to Old Yharnam below them. “I’m sure she’d tell you to get it together and continue the hunt. A hunter must hunt, and all that,” he shook his head dismissively. 

Evelyn felt her heart clench at those words. Who would’ve thought she’d ever miss hearing them in that peculiar accent she’d never even heard before. And she will never hear it again. That bitter thought kept plaguing her. For who knows which time tonight, she felt sick to the stomach. What a cruel fucking joke this whole thing has been, Evelyn thought, hopefully it’s been a fun show for whatever heartless god that’s been watching.

“Take your gun,” Djura offered the cold metal back to her “You cannot stay here and mope forever. Hunters come and they go, they have their purpose until they don’t.”

He was right and to the point as he always was. Evelyn was silent for a moment before taking the gun and nodding carefully. Her other hand went into the pocket of her coat. The Crow Hunter badge. For a fraction of a second, she thought of offering it to Djura - who better to hunt crazed, dangerous hunters than himself? But she dismissed it almost immediately. His job was down here, in Old Yharnam, among the beasts. He wouldn’t take it. Besides, it was given to her, it was a goodbye gift meant for her eyes only. At once a question and an order, a new purpose and a well familiar warning.

Evelyn squeezed the badge, relishing the feel of cool metal on her skin as she slithered through the foggy streets of Old Yharnam. I know, Eileen, I know… You’ve taught me well… But have I ever listened to your warnings?

DOLLY AND FLYNN DOLLY AND FLYNN DOLLY AND FLYNN

who hogs the duvet

dolly. but flynn hogs dolly so it’s fine.

who texts/rings to check how their day is going

(fallout but phones au again, so good) dolly probably would send more messages throughout the day considering he’d rarely be on his phone if he had one. he’s definitely the type to prefer calling over texting, and would try his hardest to at least to call her every night when they’re apart. 

who’s the most creative when it comes to gifts

flynn is actually an excellent gift giver. he knows exactly what dolly likes and will go out of his way to find/get it.

who gets up first in the morning

flynn’s awake first but also the one to try and cajole dolly into lingering in bed awhile longer. and he’s very persuasive. 

who suggests new things in bed

at the start, probably dolly. flynn’s chaotic horny but he wants to be sure not to push for anything or make dolly uncomfortable, so he lets her call the shots a lot when it comes to introducing new things. when they’ve been together awhile he’s more than happy to share in his ideas in detail. 

who cries at movies

dolly. flynn has cried probably three entire times in his life. 

who gives unprompted massages

flynn. he knows how to keep his wife happy. and he has excellent hands. this is especially applicable both times she’s pregnant. she spends a lot of her days in heels. foot rubs for days. 

who fusses over the other when they’re sick

flynn’s overprotective as all fuck so he’d definitely be fussing over dolly when she falls sick. after she gives birth to their first child, evie, he relegates her to bed rest for nearly a week. flynn doesn’t really get sick. excellent immune system. he has come home shot before though! 

who gets jealous easiest

flynn!!!!! literally someone passes a joking comment about how good dolly looks, etc, and he’s gun emoji x100 ‘do you want to die’. he comes back to the gomorrah and sees some guy chatting to dolly and just walks right up to them and takes dolly into his arms and gives her one hell of a ‘i’m home’ kiss. pulls away long enough to look the guy dead in the eyes and say ‘you’ve got two minutes to get out of my sight before i put some bloodstains in the very expensive carpet.’ but honestly i can see dolly getting very jealous too if anyone every tried anything with flynn. he’d be so smug and amused to watch her get all riled up. 

who has the most embarrassing taste in music

they both have very good taste actually. our tasteful, classy kids.

who collects something unusual

not that unusual, but flynn has a collection of sinatra records. dolly has a collection of prewar dresses and lingerie. 

who takes the longest to get ready

dolly, but not even by that much. she’s just got more steps to go through. but they both care a lot about their appearances and aesthetic. 

who is the most tidy and organised

their jobs have made them both organised people. they can’t really afford otherwise. 

who gets most excited about the holidays

dolly. flynn wouldn’t give a fuck if only because dolly loves it. a good excuse to throw a big party and get the people she cares about in a room together for a few hours. 

who is the big spoon/little spoon

dolly. god she’s so fucking small. she comes up to his shoulder and flynn loves to just completely wrap her in his arms. 

who gets most competitive when playing games and/or sports

flynn doesn’t know how to lose unless it’s to dolly. they’re very good at riling each other up and seeing who cracks first. 

who starts the most arguments

dolly, probably. flynn’s very good at getting talked at and saying next to nothing in return. which drives dolly absolutely nuts sometimes. most of their arguments are about when his work gets a little too dangerous or gets in the way of their life together. 

who suggests that they buy a pet

neither of them are big animal people and don’t really have the time to look after one. 

what couple traditions they have

they always try to have at least one sit down meal together a day. they both have hectic jobs that keep them moving, but they’ll always try to get together for breakfast or dinner. when flynn has to go away on a job, he’ll make sure to always come home with a gift for dolly. 

what tv shows they watch together

modern au; empire, dynasty, narcos, big little lies, peaky blinders.

what other couple they hang out with

uhhhhhh flynn has like one friend, ortega, and he’s single. so they have occasional, awkward dinners with angel and graham cracker. 

how they spend time together as a couple

uhhh. fucking. a lot. going out on the strip for dinner and a show. lounging around their suite in the gomorrah. 

who made the first move

both of them, kinda. they were business partners with benefits before they actually got together. i think in terms of them actually getting together, flynn would have made the first move. he’s aware just how deeply he feels for dolly pretty early on and he’s not the type of person to hide that. 

who brings flowers home

flynn. 

who is the best cook

they’re both good cooks. flynn’s probably better, but he’d rather have someone else do it for him.

🖊 + Evelyn!!! My angel!!!

heck yess, thank you so much harper! my bloodborne daughter, here we go:

would really like to go home now, thankyouverymuch has been engaged four times before she came to yharnam, but each betrothed broke off the engagement once they heard the rumors about her… peculiar nature. anyways, it’s no secret she’s known as the slightly weird young woman in her town (”how terribly sad, for a family so upstanding and well-off as the harpers to have that peculiar girl as their only child and heir…”) and she’s done absolutely nothing to fix that impression! she regularly talks to herself and objects around her even when in company, takes long walks through the estate after midnight wearing only her nightgown and reciting poetry, has perhaps one or two friends outside immediate family and also is never seen without her journal tucked away safely somewhere on her person. people don’t hate her though, but they don’t trust her and are even more dismayed by her obvious disinterest in fixing her behaviour into something more proper and fitting in with the rest of the society…

69 and 88

send numbers from 1-88 for a chapter title idea for my fic

69. Shiver Reflex

Narratively important: the shiver reflex is extinguished when one’s core body temperature falls below 33C and hypothermia begins to develop from a mild to moderate case.

88. The Losing Horse

From the phrase “to bet on the wrong horse”. One of the major struggles Jesse has over the course of this fic is that he believes he has not earned his place within Blackwatch, has not earned Gabriel’s patience and good favor, and has not earned the second chance he was given. He sees himself as the losing horse and Gabriel is throwing everything away by betting on him.
