Tiny Dani/Jamie moments - inside the bigger moments - in the last ep of Bly Manor that make me want to scoop my heart out of my chest with a blunt spoon:

- When Jamie says “I’ve got a problem. Or rather, we’ve got a problem, Poppins.” At first Dani looks kinda worried, but it’s like as soon as Jamie drops the nickname Dani realises Jamie is teasing and she kinda smiles and says “Oh, no.” Jamie probably knew it, too, saw the worried look and dropped a ‘Poppins’. Or maybe it’s become so automatic that she didn’t even realise, and she doesn’t know that it’s a marker by which Dani is able to judge her moods and intentions, and I think that’s even cuter.

- When Dani looks in through the shop window and sees the lady of the lake in her reflection, the image is chased away when Jamie smiles at her from inside.

- Jamie’s goofy-ass adoring smile when Dani is holding the plant with the ring in it and she says she found it on the street and wanted to save it. Jamie knows that Dani is still with her, that this is still the woman she fell madly in love with. Classic, sweet, Dani, wanting to save the abandoned plant.

I don’t think I can ever really understand love.

Romantic love, that is. I’ve been told what it is - shown what it is, a million times over. From Cinderella to Annabeth to Catra to, lately, Chidi - I think I’ve come to understand the shape of it, maybe. The depth, definitely. But the core of it seems insubstantial to me - empty and a little bit hallow. And I know it’s not - the love songs on the radio convince me of that, at least. The is something there, some powerful force, some hidden texture, some sort of magic that I wouldn’t even know existed if everyone around me hadn’t told me so.

But sometimes, sometimes, the barest word will bite me and for a moment, just a moment, the magic makes sense. The skies clear and I can see what all the songs are about.

And then the wind blows the clouds over, and whatever comprehension I had fades away.

But I think that’s part of the wonder of stories and poetry and language - that it can take what is incomprehensible for one person, what is shrouded in darkness, and shine a flashlight on it - maybe it stays, maybe it doesn’t, but I think I am better for knowing, even if I don’t ever learn it, even if parts of me don’t want to.

“I’m in love with you.”

TJ expected maybe a “congratulations” or a “we did it” from Cyrus. But his boyfriend seemed to never get tired of surprising him.

Clad in his graduate cap and gown, Cyrus spoke the words TJ had never heard from him before.

Those words meant something. TJ didn’t deserve those words.

Cyrus stared at him, his smile shrinking as seconds passed.

“It’s okay, you don’t have to say it back.” He mumbled, turning around to go look for his family.

TJ was quick to grab his wrist and turn him back around.

“You do realize that ‘in love’ is basically the same as ‘forever.’”

“Uh, yeah.”

“You’d be stuck with me forever?”

“Are you trying to convince me to take my words back?”

“Would you want to?” TJ asked, scratching his head.

“No.” Cyrus sighed. “You’re a dumbass.”

And just like that, Cyrus reached up on his tippy toes to kiss TJ’s worries away.

Honestly, not exactly what you wanted but I've been working on two essays simultaneously and words are nonexistent in my mind right now. I just chose the cheesy route because why not.

Alright guys, it’s again time for some recommendations: @lexilooloo7​ approached me for more Wally whump. So no fluff this time around (except for when it’s within the whump)

For this I dove a bit deeper into my favorites, so most of them are on ff.net (I know some ppl don’t like it?) and some of them are Young Justice (and thus will not be Batflash)!

Disappearing World by pebblekit (fanfiction.net) Young Justice - this one is long and features around Wally and his powers. One of my favorites, especially due to taking a scene from the JL cartoon and reusing it ;)

For Some Reason by Taisi (fanfiction.net) Young Justice - Warning: Child Abuse - the summary will tell you enough

Villains by Belphegor (fanfiction.net) Alright, so this one is basically Divided We Fall from the Flash’s villains point of view. Not Wally Whump per se but enough to feature it on this list (I love it)

Brand New Hurt by 67chevylmpala (fanfiction.net) Young Justice - Warning: Child Abuse - this one is quite different compared to the other one above due to Wally keeping it a very good secret

Grimm by rogueandkurt (fanfiction.net) Something happens to Flash and he starts seeing a person. It’s not a very good thing. Warning: almost suicide tw (sorry if I give anything away but I don’t want someone to be catched off guard!)

Best of Men by Taisi (fanfiction.net) Very short but also cute because the whump isn’t for long. If you need something uplifting on this list, then this is it.

Thank You for Your Loyalty Sir by ELStogs (AO3) A still WIP batflash that I really can recommend to start reading and following. Possibly the only one that doesn’t fit that well onto this whump recommendation list but it has it’s moments, don’t you worry!

The heater hums

The heater Hums,

The blankets warm,

And I find myself feeling so fine and dandy,

Without a care in the world,

That I forget to worry about the future.
