     WHEN INEJ ASKED HIM, LONG AGO, why jesper was so dismissive of the saints — he hadn’t been able to give her a good enough answer.  he just was.  he couldn’t justify any belief in them because they brought him no comfort, no hope, and no purpose; he had made up some hasty argument about believing in things that mattered — like fate, like luck.  these were the things that determined how much a person could suffer, and if they would survive, much better than any god or saint … right?

     but now jesper knows — his disdain for the gods stems from colm’s grief, from his own grief.  it took root the day aditi died, and moulded itself to the shape of her absence.  if the saints could watch a man suffer as his father had, as his mother had in her dying moments, and not be moved to help … then jesper hopes they choke on all their prayers.  

     “ how long did you think that would take, da, ”  he’s surprised to hear … anger in his own voice.  jesper blinks hard and averts his eyes, willing his voice to go back to normal.  eventually, he succeeds.  “ which saint were you hoping would reverse death for you?  for us?  all those years you’re never going to get back — was it worth it?  you all but chained yourself to the farm. ”

He regretted so much in his life, so much that he could look back on his life and sob if it didn’t hurt him so much. He could have taken time off from the farm, gotten help from one of their neighbors for once. He never got to take Aditi on that trip around the world, did he? Retreated into himself, his own self-made cage of grief when his son needed him the most. He looks at Jesper now and sees it, clear as the day above them, that Colm failed him. The boy who grew up too quickly, take up responsibility that should have been Colm’s alone. 

“I’m sorry.” It’s futile and much too late, the sentiment wouldn’t be nearly enough to ease Jesper’s own pain. Colm hardly helped it back then, anyway. “I can’t wish for that time back, I can only wish that I could make something of myself now - for you.”

[thebcstofus]

there are no adequate words for how utterly hollowed out and destroyed jesper is the day colm dies. he spent years of his life thinking he would always have his father, because colm was steady, and kind, and didn't ask for much from life — he was safe, wasn't he? colm was completely and utterly safe from harm? it's probably better that jesper is burying his father and not the other way around, but. this is burying someone who raised him, who has known him longer than anyone else ever will in his life — it feels unnatural, wrong. he should feel relief that colm and aditi are reuniting somewhere, too, but even in a crowd of friends and well - wishers, jesper feels completely alone. colm never taught him to grieve properly, never showed him there could be peace in grief; he'll be carrying this hurt for years and years before it dulls.

My muse is dead. Tell me how yours is dealing with it.

My muse is dead. Tell me how yours is dealing with it.

[bitchthefuck1-deactivated202204]

All of Kaz's interactions with Colm are so incredible to me. Every single conversation is just:

Colm: Whatcha working on kiddo?

Kaz: I'm going to tear down two of the most powerful men in the city and grind them into dust beneath my heel. Their kingdoms of gold will turn to ash, and they'll spend the rest of their days regretting having ever crossed me.

Colm, who just came to check on his son and is way too tired to be dealing with this: ...that sounds fun. Have you had lunch?

[pistolslinger]

@thebcstofus​ said:

‘ i made a life out of chasing a ghost. ‘ ( from Colm! I was gonna pick a happier one, I really was…)

        HEARING COLM ADMIT it sends a wave of shock through jesper.  his father had never been the most loquacious of people — his presence in jesper’s life had always been marked by the feeling of steady, warm hands on his shoulders, or squeezing him tight in a comforting hug.  but never had he been a supplicant voice in jesper’s head.

     “ ma’s ghost? ”  he almost doesn’t want to say it, as if afraid that acknowledging this will scare colm off into silence again.  but he wants to hear this.  he wants to hear his father say something, anything, about his own grief.  maybe if they spoke about it — aditi’s ghost, hovering over them both all this time, could settle or vanish.  anything.  he’d take anything.  “ i wondered why you never … why you never remarried. ”

     here comes the hard part.  here comes the part that puts a lump in his throat.

     “ i … i was worried that you just — i thought you’d just resigned yourself to being lonely until you … ”  died.  he can’t even SAY the word.  “ why chase ghosts?  didn’t you always tell me not to chase foolish things, huh?  why couldn’t you — ”

[thebcstofus]

Colm doesn’t have to confirm, he figured Jesper didn’t need him to. But he nods, a curt and subtle movement like it hurt him just to do it. It hurts him just to talk about it, it always did. He did his best to avoid the topic of her death for this reason, but the time has passed for that. She was dead for too long, Jesper was getting too old. 

“I never could remarry, I could never look at anyone else like I looked at your mother.” The topic was avoided for so long, he surprises himself with how open he’s being - how open he’s willing to be. “How could I not? She wasn’t just my everything, Jes. She...she was my sun, my stars, every thought I had. But more importantly than that, she was your mother. I thought...I thought if I consumed myself in my own loneliness and sadness, some higher being - if there is one - would realize they made a mistake and bring her back to you, not just me.”

     HORROR.  ABJECT HORROR crosses jesper’s expression for all of one second before he pulls his face back into neutral, unimpressed territory; he hopes wylan kept his face in his hand long enough to miss the fact he actually considered for a moment that he might be into matthias goddamn helvar.

     the thought just — wylan and matthias.  huh.

     “ i would … hope you have better taste than that? ”  he manages, blank and deadpan.  “ wylan, he looks like uncooked kaz, and lookin’ at brekker, that is fucking saying something. ”

Oh no. Oh no. 

Wylan fucked up, he’s fucked up big time. Jesper might have believed him, even the thought of Jesper believing him wants to construct the world’s most elusive cave and make a cozy home out of it. The blankness in Jesper’s voice is enough for him to mentally construct the blueprints. 

“I was joking! I was joking!” He lifts his head out of his hands just to emphasize this. He will keep the reason why it’s so important to him shoved miles down, thank you very much. “It was a bad joke, I just have the world’s biggest crush on the Fjerdan who hates all of us except for Nina...and maybe Inej.”

I FORGOT THAT YOU EXISTED

How many days did I spend thinking about how you did me wrong?

I lived in the shade you were throwing until all of my sunshine was gone

I couldn’t get away from you

I was in my feelings more than Drake

But then something happened one magical night, I forgot that you existed

I forgot that you existed

I thought that it would kill me, but it didn’t

It was so nice

It isn’t love, it isn’t hate, it’s just indifference

I forgot that you got out some popcorn as soon as my rep started going down

You laughed on the school yard as soon as I tripped up and hit the ground 

I would’ve stuck around and fought the whole town for you

But you showed who you are, then one magical night I forgot that you existed

You sent me a clear message 

You taught me some hard lessons

I just forget what they were, it’s all just a blur

You taught me some hard lessons, I just forget what they were, it’s all just a blur

CRUEL SUMMER,

Oh yeah, you’re right, I want it

I’m always waiting for you to be waiting below 

Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes 

What doesn’t kill me, makes me want you more

It’s new, feeling the shape of your body

It’s blue, this feeling I’ve got

It’s a cruel summer

It’s cool, that’s what I tell ‘em, no rules 

There’s no rules in breakable heaven

I’m not dying 

We’ll just screw it up in these trying times

We’re not trying 

I’m always waiting for you just to cut to the bone 

If I bleed, you’ll be the last to know

I cried like a baby coming home from the bar

I’m fine

I don’t want to keep secrets just to keep you

For whatever it’s worth, I love you - ain’t that the worst thing you’ve ever heard?

For whatever it’s worth, I love you 

LOVER

We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January

This is our place, we make the rules 

There’s a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear

Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years?

Can I go where you go?

Can we always be this close? 

Take me out, and take me home 

You’re my lover

We could let our friends crash in the living room 

This is our place, we make the call 

I’m highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you 

I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all 

I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover 

All’s well that ends well to end up with you 

Save all your dirtiest jokes for me

At every table, I’ll save you a seat

THE MAN

I played the field before I found someone to commit to

When everyone believes you, what’s that like?

I’m so sick of running as fast as I can

I’m so sick of running as fast as I can wondering if I’d get there quicker if I was a man

I’m so sick of them coming at me again 

It’s all good if you’re bad 

It’s okay if you’re mad 

They paint me out to be bad, so, it’s okay that I’m mad 

THE ARCHER

I’m ready for combat

I don’t want that, but what if I do?

Cruelty wins in the movies

I’ve got a hundred thrown out speeches I’ve almost said to you

Easy they come, easy they go

I never grew up, it’s getting so old

Help me hold on to you

Who could ever leave me, but who could stay?

I’ve been the archer, and I’ve been the prey

What if I’m alright right here?

I cut my nose off to spite my face, then hate my reflection for years and years

I keep waking at night and pacing like a ghost

All of my heroes died all alone

Can you see right through me?

They see right through me

I see right through me

All the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put me together again

All of my enemies started out friends

You could stay

Who could stay?

I THINK HE KNOWS

I think he knows

Your footprints on the sidewalk lead to where I can’t stop 

His hands around a cold glass make me wanna know that body like it’s mine 

I’m drawing up the plans

It’s like I’m 17 and nobody understands 

I wanna see what’s under that attitude

I want you

I’m not gonna tell him, I think he knows

You’ll want me to stay 

I think he knows he better lock it down or I won’t stick around

The good ones never wait

I’ll drive

So, where you wanna go?

Where are we gonna go?

MISS AMERICANA AND THE HEARTBREAK PRINCE

You know I adore you

I’m crazier for you than I was at sixteen

I’m lost in the lights

American glory faded before me

I’m feeling helpless

I ripped up my prom dress

I saw the scoreboard and ran for my life

No cameras catch my pageant smile

It’s been a long time coming

It’s you and me - that’s my whole world

She’s a bad girl

The whole school is rolling fake dice

You play stupid games, then you’ll win stupid prizes

There’s nothing like this

Our team is losing

I saw the high fives between the bad guys

You are the only one who seems to care

The damsels are depressed

If boys will be boys then where are the wise men?

Darling, I’m scared

The storm is coming now

I don’t want you to go

I don’t really want to fight

I don’t really want to fight cause nobody’s gonna win

I think you should come home

I’ll never let you go

This is a fight that someday we’re gonna win

PAPER RINGS

The moon is high like your friends were the night that we first met

I went home and tried to stalk him on the internet

I’ve read all of the books beside your bed

I wake up in the night and watch you breathe

Kiss me once 'cause you know I had a long night 

You know I had a long night 

Kiss me twice 'cause it’s gonna be alright 

It’s gonna be alright 

I like shiny things, but I’d marry you with paper rings

Darling, you’re the one I want

You’re the one I want in dirty dreams

I’m with you even if it makes me blue 

This takes me back to night that we painted your brother’s wall

Honey, without all the exes, fights, and flaws we wouldn’t be standing here so tall 

I want to drive away with you

I want your complications

I want your dreary Mondays

Wrap your arms around me

CORNELIA STREET

I rent a place on Cornelia Street

We were a fresh page on the desk filling in the blanks as we go

I hope I never lose you

I hope it never ends

That’s the kinda heartbreak time could never mend

I’d never walk Cornelia Street again 

I get mystified by how this city screams your name

I’m so terrified of if you ever walk away 

I’m so terrified of if you ever walk away I’d never walk Cornelia Street again 

Back when we were card sharks, playing games I thought you were leading me on 

You packed your bags, left Cornelia Street before I even knew you were gone 

Sacred new beginnings that became my religion

DEATH BY A THOUSAND CUTS

Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts

I get drunk, but it’s not enough cause the morning comes and you’re not my baby

I get drunk, but it’s not enough

The morning comes and you’re not my baby

I look through the windows of this love even though we boarded them up

I can’t pretend it’s okay when it’s not 

I dress to kill my time

I ask the traffic lights if it’ll be alright, they say, “I don’t know”

I don’t know

What once was ours is no one’s now 

I see you everywhere, the only thing we share is this small town 

You said it was a great love, one for the ages

But if the story’s over, why am I still writing pages? 

I’m trying find a part of me that you didn’t touch 

You gave up on me like I was a bad drug 

Paper cut stings from our paper-thin plans 

LONDON BOY

We can go driving in, on my scooter, uh, you know, just 'round London

I love my hometown as much as Motown

Something happened, I heard him laughing, I saw the dimples first and then I heard the accent

They say home is where the heart is but that’s not where mine lives

You know I love a London boy

I enjoy walking Camden Market in the afternoon

Darling, I fancy you

So, I guess all the rumors are true

You know I love a London boy

I love high tea

You can find me in the pub

Babes, don’t threaten me with a good time 

God, I love the English 

Just wanna be with you

SOON YOU’LL GET BETTER (FT. THE CHICKS)

I didn’t tell you I was scared

Desperate people find faith, so now I pray to Jesus too 

Soon you’ll get better

I know delusion when I see it in the mirror 

I just pretend it isn’t real 

I know I’ll never get it, there’s not a day that I won’t try

And I hate to make this all about me but who am I supposed to talk to?

What am I supposed to do if there’s no you? 

This won’t go back to normal

It’s been years of hoping, and I keep saying it because cause I have to

FALSE GOD

We were crazy to think that this could work

Remember how I said I'd die for you? 

We were stupid to jump in the ocean separating us

Remember how I’d fly to you? 

I can’t talk to you when you’re like this 

Stop staring out the window like I’m not your favorite town. I’m New York City, I still do it for you, babe 

They all warned us about times like this 

They say the road gets hard and you get lost when you’re led by blind faith 

We might just get away with it

Religion’s in your lips, even if it’s a false god we’d still worship this love

Religion’s in your lips

Even if it’s a false god, we’d still worship this love

The altar is my hips 

I know heaven’s a thing, I go there when you touch me 

Hell is when I fight with you, but we can patch it up good 

I can’t talk to you when your like this, daring you to leave me just so you can try and scare me

You’re the West Village, you still do it for me, babe

YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN

You are somebody that I don’t know but you’re takin’ shots at me like it’s Patrón

Damn, it’s 7 am

Hey, are you okay?

I ain’t trying mess with your self-expression but I’ve learned a lesson that stressing and obsessing about somebody else is no fun 

I ain’t trying mess with your self-expression

I’ve learned a lesson that stressing and obsessing about somebody else is no fun 

You need to calm down

You’re being too loud

You need to calm down, you’re being too loud

You need to just stop

Can you not step on my gown?

Why are you mad, when you could be glad?

You just need to take several seats and then try to restore the peace and control your urges to scream about all the people you hate 

You just need to take several seats

AFTERGLOW

I blew things out of proportion

You put me in jail for something I didn’t do

Thought I had reason to attack 

Fighting with a true love is boxing with no gloves 

Why’d I have to break what I love so much? 

I’m to blame 

Hey, it’s all me, in my head

I’m the one who burned us down but it’s not what I meant 

I don’t wanna do this to you 

I don’t wanna lose this with you

Don’t go

Meet me in the afterglow 

It’s so excruciating to see you low

Just wanna lift you up and not let you go 

It’s so excruciating to see you low, I just wanna lift you up and not let you go 

This ultraviolet morning light below tells me this love is worth the fight 

I lived like an island and punished you with silence 

Don’t walk away

Tell me that you’re still mine

Tell me that we’ll be just fine even when I lose my mind

Tell me that it’s not my fault

Tell me that I’m all you want even when I break your heart

ME! (FT. BRENDON URIE)

I promise that you’ll never find another like me

I know that I’m a handful 

I know I never think before I jump

You’re the kind of guy the ladies want

There’s a lot of cool chicks out there

I know that I went psycho on the phone

I never leave well enough alone and trouble’s gonna follow where I go 

One of these things is not like the others 

When it comes to a lover I promise that you’ll never find another like

I’m the only one of me

You’re the only one of you 

I know I tend to make it about me

I know you never get just what you see but I will never bore you baby

I will never bore you

There’s a lot of lame guys out there 

I never wanna see you walk away 

There ain’t no I in “team” but you know there is a “me" 

You can’t spell “awesome” without “me”

IT’S NICE TO HAVE A FRIEND

Walk me home

I lost my gloves

Wanna hang out?

Yeah, sounds like fun 

It’s nice to have a friend

You’ve been stressed out lately 

Something gave you the nerve to touch my hand 

Carry me home

The rice on the ground looks like snow

You called my bluff

DAYLIGHT

My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in

Everyone looked worse in the light

There are so many lines that I’ve crossed, unforgiven

I’ll tell you the truth, but never goodbye

I don’t wanna look at anything else now that I saw you

I don’t wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you

I’ve been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night

Now I see daylight

I only see daylight 

Luck of the draw only draws the unlucky and so I became the butt of the joke

I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked

Clearing the air, I breathed in the smoke

Maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down

Maybe I’ve stormed out of every single room in this town

Can we throw out our cloaks and our daggers because it’s morning now?

It’s brighter now

I can still see it all in my mind, all of you, all of me intertwined

I can still see it all in my mind

I once believed love would be black and white but it’s golden

I once believed love would be black and white

I can still see it all In my head, back and forth from New York sneaking in your bed

I once believed love would be burning red but it’s golden like daylight

I once believed love would be burning red but it’s golden

I once believed love would be burning red

You gotta step into the daylight and let it go 

Just let it go

I wanna be defined by the things that I love, not the things I hate, not the things I’m afraid of, I’m afraid of or the things that haunt me in the middle of the night

I wanna be defined by the things that I love

I just think that you are what you love 

ONLY THE YOUNG (FROM MISS AMERICANA)

It keeps me awake, the look on your face the moment you heard the news

You did all that you could do the game was rigged, the ref got tricked

You did all that you could do

The game was rigged

The wrong ones think they’re right 

You were outnumbered this time

Only the young can run

You go to class, scared and wondering where the best hiding spot would be 

The big bad man and his big bad clan, their hands are stained with red 

Their hands are stained with red

Oh, how quickly they forget 

They’re not going to help us

They’re not going to help us, they’re too busy helping themselves

They aren’t gonna change this, we gotta do it ourselves 

They aren’t gonna change this

We gotta do it ourselves 

They think that it’s over but it’s just begun 

Only one thing can save us 

Don’t say you’re too tired to fight

It’s just a matter of time

BEAUTIFUL GHOSTS (FROM CATS)

Follow me home if you dare to, I wouldn’t know where to lead you

Follow me home if you dare to

I wouldn’t know where to lead you

Should I take chances when no one took chances on me?

So I watch from the dark, wait for my life to start with no beauty in my memory

All that I wanted was to be wanted

You’re too young to wander London streets, alone and haunted

I’m too young to wander London streets, alone and haunted

I was born into nothing, at least you have something to cling to

I was born into nothing

At least you have something

At least you have something to cling to

I have visions of dazzling rooms I’ll never get let into

The memories were lost long ago

At least you have beautiful ghosts

The memories were lost long ago but at least you have beautiful ghosts 

I hear voices calling

Out here, the wild ones are taming the fear within me

Scared to call them my friends and be broken again

Is this hope just a mystical dream? 

So maybe my home isn’t what I had known, or what I thought it would be

So maybe my home isn’t what I had known

I feel so alive with these phantoms of night

I know that this life isn’t safe, but it’s wild and it’s free 

I’ll never wander London streets, alone and haunted 

With them, I have something,

With them, I have something to cling to

I never knew I’d love this world they’ve let me into 

I’ll dance with these beautiful ghosts

     DOES HE REALLY want jesper to answer that?  wylan was one of the smartest people he’d ever met in his LIFE, but saints, did he have a talent for walking into verbal traps.  jesper’s grin shifts from teasing, to full blown menace.

     “ you tell me, merchling?  what usually strikes your fancy — makes your mind wander?  is it anyone we know? ”  then, with a hand pressed to his heart, and a feigned frown, he adds: “ wait …  don’t tell me.  it’s kaz.  you just can’t stop thinking about his … er, lack of a backside and perpetual scowl, can you? ”

He regrets the question as soon as it is asked, oh does he regret it so very deeply. He recognized his mistake as soon as Jesper’s grin becomes more wicked - perhaps it is hard for other people to catch it and notice the difference, but Wylan knows. 

Shit.

“Oh, no.” He slaps his face into his hand, determined to think of some witty answer and not letting his face become as red as his hair. “Ah, yes - nothing gets me going quite like that combination. Bold of you to assume it’s Kaz, maybe it’s Matthias? Have you ever thought about that?”

pistolslinger​:

     WHATEVER THIS FEELNG is, whatever just burst in his chest and flooded his whole body with warmth — he’s not so sure this is the conversation to elicit that feeling.  colm was a good man, a kind and noble man.  the kind of man that jesper was afraid to disappoint with the depths of his need for revenge against these people — the kind of man jesper wished he could be, instead of who he’d ended up, at times.

     but the joy he feels at hearing his father agree to this is … unmatched.  years of feeling alienated from his father’s grief — the very thing he had to watch from a distance and only guess at, the thing that made him fear for permanence in love, should it ever be taken away too soon — cracks a little, and chips away.  just a bit, but it’s enough to show jesper they weren’t so different when it came to this, the anger that grief had morphed into.

     jesper exhales slowly, shakily, and nods at colm.  

     “ all that kruge we have sequestered away — i wouldn’t need much, barely enough to dent our savings.  just … a few grand to ensure i get the deeds to the land, ”  and the space to set the right traps.  “ you don’t need to be directly involved if it … if this hurts, or scares you, da.  i can handle it.  it’s just — i’m glad we agree on this.  i was afraid you’d … y’know. ”  say no.  disapprove.  

When Aditi died, Colm never thought that void she left would ever be filled. Months, years, decades later and he still finds himself unable to truly move on from his first and true love. Watching Jesper grow up, watching him become everything Aditi could have ever wanted him to be..it comforted him in a way that her death made him think he could never be.

Jesper joining a gang perhaps wasn’t part of that plan, however. After visiting his son in Ketterdam and that whole disaster, the divide and differences between father and son could not have been more evident. That didn’t make Colm’s need to always protect him go away, certainly never wavered his love for him - never. But perhaps that divide and differences weren’t so wide when their anger is revealed to each other, the unparalleled and unchecked rage when it comes to Aditi’s death still lingers in both of them.

“I...I can’t be directly involved, I just can’t. But I can help in every other way you need me to.” He gently puts his hands on Jesper’s shoulders. “I worry about so much, but I would never attempt to talk you out of this. Nobody else deserves to go through what we did, alright? Nobody.”

     “ I WAS GOING TO SAY — we really should stop getting involved in undercover jobs? ”  wylan sure was twitchy this night.  jesper raises a brow at him, baffled and amused in equal measures.  he runs through the last thirty seconds in his head, picking at what could have caused alarm, and comes to a conclusion that has him grinning wickedly.  “ what did you think i meant? ”  we should stop meeting like this?  maybe keep the flirting to a minimum on jobs?  he leans in, just a little, close enough to flick wayward curls out of wylan’s face.  “ i apologise for being vague — you’re usually quicker on the uptake, though.  don’t suppose you’re a little distracted by something tonight … ? ”

“Right, right yes.” Believing in higher powers was something Wylan was on the fence on, but all he wanted was for one to just strike him dead right now. He would beg, plead on his knees even, for Jesper to not pick up on his nervousness. But of course, he would. Because he’s Jesper: he’s witty and impossibly clever, of course he picked up on it immediately. He just barely touched Wylan when he brushed his curls away, but it felt like he was on fire. “No, I’m alright. I’m not distracted by anything, just by all this work for the job I have to get done. What...What would I be distracted by, Jesper?”

All of Kaz's interactions with Colm are so incredible to me. Every single conversation is just:

Colm: Whatcha working on kiddo?

Kaz: I'm going to tear down two of the most powerful men in the city and grind them into dust beneath my heel. Their kingdoms of gold will turn to ash, and they'll spend the rest of their days regretting having ever crossed me.

Colm, who just came to check on his son and is way too tired to be dealing with this: ...that sounds fun. Have you had lunch?
