i believe you owe me a date, mr. frye. meet me on the bridge by big ben at midnight. ps. bring your good coat. i might need it when it gets cold up there. - r.

she rubs her hands together against the cool chill of approaching fall. it's cold enough yet that each breath conjures a brief mist. river would've picked a comfier position to wait but, who could resist the allure of the cloudy thames and the clear night sky?

a brief glance upward and the destination of her promised date moves on mechanical time. the bell rings loud and clear for the final time, signifying the end of day. a sudden onset of chills racks her form at the thought of climbing big ben after so much years. creator, what long years has it been. of all things to cling onto .. calling london home, killing every templar bastard and suffering each other's travesties and learning about their culture .. jacob's promise rings above it all.

river sighs and stretches. turning on her heel she scans the casual stragglers and carriages that quickly scurry to their dens .. but where is jacob frye? casual of him to be late? maybe ..

gets a random starter based off something years ago. :') @tophatandbrassknuckles

SPARRING/TRAINING SESSIONS WITH A DASH OF TENSION. all these sentences and prompts are made about training sessions or sparring partners that can develop into tension, be it antagonistic or sexual. These quotes explore dynamics like rivalry, mentorship, flirtation, intensity, grudges, and emotional undertones. please change pronouns, locations and more as you see fit.

“You’re holding back. Are you afraid of hurting me—or of what happens if you don’t?”

“Every scar on my body started as a lesson. Let’s see what you’ll teach me today.”

“This isn’t dancing. Stop smiling and try to hit me.”

“You fight with your heart. That’s why you lose your breath first.”

“That sword’s too heavy for your pride to carry.”

“If you flinch again, I’ll hit you for real.”

“I’m not your enemy. Not today. But train like I might be tomorrow.”

“Careful. You’re starting to enjoy this a little too much.”

“You think you can beat me? Prove it.”

“You learn fast. But I hit faster.”

“No talking. Just blades.”

“Each strike tells me more about you than your words ever could.”

“Are we sparring or settling something?”

“I said train, not try to kill me.”

“Your stance is perfect. Shame about the hesitation.”

“You’re bleeding. Still want to keep going?”

“This isn’t over. We just paused it.”

“Getting close doesn’t mean winning.”

“The floor loves you today. How many times will you kiss it?”

“Pain is just honesty from your body.”

“Try that move again. Slower. I want to see why it failed.”

“You hide behind form. Real fighters bleed.”

“I’m not impressed by technique. Only survival.”

“Your anger makes you predictable.”

“Don’t flirt with your opponent unless you can block while blushing.”

“Oh, you meant to fall like that?”

“We’re not done until someone can’t stand.”

“Training with you is like dancing on the edge of a blade.”

“Is that a sword or an extension of your ego?”

“You hesitate before every strike. Why?”

“Your hands shake. That fear’s still in you.”

“The closer you get, the less you see. Keep your distance.”

“You’ve improved. But I still see the boy behind the blade.”

“One day, you’ll beat me. Just not today.”

“You strike like you want to be seen. Real warriors strike like shadows.”

"You keep getting this close… is it my blade you’re after, or my breath?"

"You're flushed. Is it the fight, or the way I look at you between strikes?"

"Careful—if you keep pinning me like that, I might start to enjoy losing."

"Every time we touch steel, you shiver. Admit it—you crave this."

"Your grip faltered. Did my voice distract you again?"

"Harder. Or are you saving your strength for something else tonight?"

"I can hear your heartbeat. Fast. Wild. Not from fear, though… is it?"

"You breathe like we’ve already tangled in the dark—and not just with swords."

"Keep whispering in my ear during combat and I might forget which weapon I’m holding."

"If you want me on my knees, just say so. You don’t have to disarm me first."

The tension finally snaps, and a kiss replaces the next blow.

They train late at night, when no one’s watching.

Their blades clash repeatedly in rhythm—like a dance they’ve done before.

Sweat drips, bruises bloom—but neither yields.

One drops their weapon and dares the other to continue unarmed.

Sparring ends with someone flat on the ground, laughing instead of angry.

" WILL THEY, WON'T THEY? " A LIST OF PROMPTS:

first off, mega massive thanks to my lovely and brilliant friend @whatspoilers for the EXCELLENT title!! hi my loves! so this is a list of scenarios in which the receiver has an opportunity to look at the sender in a different light, resulting in... something. a kiss? a punch? a declaration? a confession? i know you guys, i know how spicy your brains are, so spice away! i do want to stress that the outcome of the "feelings" does NOT necessarily need to be a romantic one. it could be anger, it could be a sudden revelation, a betrayal, a heartbreaking plot twist, whatever you want! i insist on making this very clear: if you send this, there is NO expectation of the receiver to make it romantic UNLESS they want to. likewise, if the feelings ARE romantic, it's not force-shipping, this is just the receiver's muse getting a minute to evaluate their relationship with the sender and how they want it to continue! and ofc DO NOT ADD TO OR EDIT THIS LIST!

[ DANCE ]: while the sender and receiver are slow dancing together, their close proximity and the intimacy of the situation causes feelings to rise to the surface.

[ BED ]: while the sender is sleeping beside them, the receiver has a moment to watch them and consider their own feelings, resulting in clarity and a realization.

[ CONSTELLATION ]: as the pair lie down in a field and watch the stars overhead, the receiver turns to watch the sender gazing skywards, leading to them confronting their own feelings.

[ NURSE ]: after a battle gone wrong, the receiver begins to tend to the sender's wounds, fading adrenaline and rising fear causing them to realize their feelings.

[ OBSERVATION ]: when showing the sender something they've been working on, the receiver can't help but address their feelings as the sender gazes in wonder at their work.

[ ENTRANCED ]: while the sender works on something they're passionate about, the receiver has a chance to look at them properly and consider their own feelings for them.

[ DEFENCE ]: when the sender rushes to defend the receiver against a threat of any description, the receiver takes a moment to consider how they feel about the sender.

[ COLLABORATION ]: as they work together on a project, the receiver has a moment in which they contemplate their true feelings regarding the sender.

[ CONFLICT ]: during an argument with the sender, the receiver realizes there's an unspoken depth to their feelings, and takes a second to consider them closer.

[ DEFIANCE ]: after realizing there's a situation which could threaten one of their lives in order to protect a larger group, the receiver and sender have a fierce argument in private, leading to a realization of their real feelings.

[ TRAINING ]: during a sparring session, the sender and receiver end up on the floor, leading one of them to seizing the upper hand and straddling the other. the receiver has an unexpected realization of their feelings regarding their sparring partner in the process.

[ FAMILY ]: watching the sender interacting fondly with others, the receiver (from afar) takes a moment to take a closer look at their relationship.

[ STORM ]: when the two of them get caught outside in a rainstorm, the receiver uses an umbrella/jacket as a shelter, which the sender shares with them, causing the receiver to be confronted with the truth of their relationship with the sender.

REASONS TO CARRY SOMEONE. ( A PROMPT LIST! )

listen, i'm back home now, i'm thinking about things, and i saw the maxton hall gifset floating around and i was like. yk what. carrying people is elite content, and gdi y'all deserve elite content! as always, DO NOT ADD OR EDIT THIS LIST! and there's a lil spicy addition under the readmore, but i left it there just in case people prefer to have a not-so-spicy version.

[ SLUMBER ]: sender picks up and carries the receiver because they're so sound asleep that they won't easily wake up.

[ INTERCEPT ]: sender picks up and carries the receiver out of the room because they're angry and on the brink of engaging in a fight with someone.

[ ASSIST ]: sender picks up and carries the receiver away for medical attention because they've been injured and can't walk easily.

[ HELP ]: sender picks up and carries the badly wounded receiver as fast as possible to the nearest hospital or the nearest place to administer urgent first-aid.

[ ELATION ]: sender scoops up the receiver and carries them away after a mutual victory, or having just received very good news (or maybe they're both just very happy for some reason!)

[ HOME ]: sender picks up the receiver to carry them over the threshold of their new home.

[ AID ]: sender finds the receiver too weak to move, and scoops them up to carry them to get some help.

[ TRAIN ]: during a training session (for a fight or a performance, dealer's choice!) the sender ends up holding the receiver in their arms during their session together.

[ URGENCY ]: sender carries the receiver away from danger after the receiver is revealed to be unable to move, either due to panic or injury.

[ OUT ]: sender grabs the receiver and lifts them into their arms after noticing them swaying and beginning to lose consciousness.

[ SCREAM ]: sender spots the receiver in a terrified or considerably panicked state, and picks them up to carry them to a less terrifying place to calm down.

[ LAZY ]: sender concedes to receiver's requests for a piggy-back ride home because they don't want to walk anymore, and carries them the rest of the distance home.

[ CAREFUL ]: sender gently lifts the receiver out of their seat and carries them carefully to bed after noticing they fell asleep and not wanting to waken them.

[ HASTE ]: in urgent need of getting to safety as fast as possible, the sender scoops up the receiver and starts running because it's quicker and easier to just carry them than expect them to keep pace.

[ FURTHER ]: sender, during an increasingly passionate make-out session with the receiver, suddenly takes them in their arms and carries them towards the bedroom to continue their evening in private.

For Rathain.

@vrohiir ||

By memory alone, Jacob scales up the dark heights of the mansion’s west wing, distant lilting strains of a Beethoven Sonata reaching his ears, or perhaps he’s imagining it, the same sheet music he remembered giving Rathain years ago. He reaches the balcony and slips through the French doors like a shadows, approaching Rathain, almost hesitant of breaking this spell. ‘I never meant for it to be this long, I had affairs to settle.’

The assassin brushes a knuckle past his lips recently stained crimson from his gift already left downstairs. Unspoken emotions boil under his skin, with no thought of how to voice them. A reunion a thousand times thought and now there’s only one chance.

‘You told me once, it was a pity to love something death can touch…’ His hazel eyes search for Rathain’s in the candlelit gloom. ‘Now that I am as unchanging as you, do you still feel the same?’

[wiiaca]

ever the charmer. soka would have swayed then. the way he delivered it? the tiny hairs on the back of her neck and arms shiver and it takes every ounce of her expectant being not to twitch against the sudden warmth of his hair. the gentle caress, the way his voice can soothe the crease of her hurts. clutching onto herself, afraid to let go and fall apart ... when jacob's simple action can freefall all of that.

mouth opens slowly to say something. anything. again, stolen as they danced in the shadows of once been. take this chance and hold onto him. drop everything and ride at his side ... did it had to come to that? will they break fast of their bodies and leave 'fore dawn?

fuck it. when was the last time she indulge in for herself? for jacob? for them. jacob pulling the book and revealing the briar rose breaks character. rough fingers trace the bare details; the soft pinks, its leathery petals. even after all this time? shadow looms, lips pressed on brow, and when they kiss there's a lingering salty taste. she is consumed by the mere heat his body exhumes, the scent of leather and gunpowder and jacob that when he pulls away, she chases greedily. pushing herself onto her knees, fingers grasp his lapels and pulls to resume. mouth parts to devour, to taste, like one's last drink of water in the vast desert.

" you ... fucking bastard ... " she says between kisses, pulling self onto his lap, into his hold. " you fucking bastard. "

[tophatandbrassknuckles]

When those tanned fingers grasp his lapels, his mouth opens in a sound muffled by her lips, pulse quickening like wind rustled leaves. His hands find her sides, the curve of strong thighs above him, tracing the contours of once familiar paths. He can’t hold in the chuckle, breathy against her lips before he steals another kiss as if that’s the one thing tethering him to earth in this moment.

His thoughts narrow to Sokanon’s intoxicating warmth, the scent of crushed pine and iron-rich dust, brighter than the flames crackling beside them. "There’s the Sokanon I remember."

Jacob tilts his head to kiss along her jawline, the brush of his stubble against her sun-kissed skin, "You’ve every right to that opinion — but believe me, it wasn’t all my fault."

After so long, her closeness makes him feel more light-headed than any alcohol he’s ever drank. Fistfuls of her coat tails draw her closer, forgetting to breathe, he breaks away to kiss below her jawline, sucking kisses down her neck and back up to her lips, he cups her face...

And in a moment of madness or brilliance, he whispers: "I'll love you 'til the day I die."

[tophatandbrassknuckles]

@wiiaca || Continued from ♜

As soon as she echoes his words, he realizes his mistake. There's nothing that can begin to describe what they shared an age ago... "I'm harder to kill than most imagine." His hazel eyes meet hers, earnest behind his jest, if he doesn't say, when will he?

"And if I did? I reckon I'd come back to haunt you, caressing with wind what my hands can't..." Calloused fingertips tuck a dark strand of hair back towards her braid, he's not someone given to poetic musing yet there's something of her beauty that inspires it. "I kept this," Jacob delves into the pocket of his waistcoat for a pocket book, he opens it to show Sokanon the flower she gave him pressed between the pages, the briar rose still vibrant.

He pockets it, but can't resist leaning in to kiss her forehead. What are they to each other now?

"You're more beautiful than ever," Jacob takes a breath, gently tilts Sokanon's chin, thumb grazing her jaw and kisses her lips, sweet yet touch starved, he draws back, uncertain if he crossed a line by letting the ghosts of the past briefly consume him.

"Forgive me."

            FEMALE MUSES ARE VALID TOO.           just a little psa to let all of you know that          if you don’t even bother replying to a female muse’s starter       or are only interested in writing with         male muses           then you honestly need to check yourself.          for muns with a multi - muse who’s female muses get ignored       ,     it’s discouraging.         female muses deserve good and awesome plots just like male muses.       female muses deserve emotional plots like male muses do.          female muses aren’t just here to fill up a void.         female muses are valid too          and it’s time for people to realise and respect that.

Undercover as Lovers starters

"So, are we going for the 'madly in love' or 'can't stand each other' undercover dynamic?" "If you keep rolling your eyes every time I compliment you, they'll suspect something." "We're supposed to be a couple, act like it! Hold my hand, smile, do something romantic." "Why did we choose the most complicated undercover assignment? Couldn't we just be janitors?" "Remember, we're just acting. No real feelings involved, got it?" "This fake relationship is getting too real; we need to remember it's just a cover." "I never thought I'd say this, but can we practice being a couple? We're terrible at it." "We need a backstory. How did we meet, fall in love, and decide to become international spies together?" "If someone asks about our first date, just make something up. We never had one, remember?" "I can't believe we have to share a bed for this mission. Keep to your side!"

[TOUCH] - The sender places a hand on the receiver's shoulder during a staged romantic moment. [KISS] - In the name of the mission, the sender plants a quick, awkward kiss on the receiver's cheek. [HUG] - The sender initiates a forced, overly dramatic hug to maintain the illusion. [ARGUMENT] - The sender and receiver stage a loud argument in public, attracting attention. [INTIMATE] - The sender and receiver have to maintain close physical proximity to sell the cover. [JEALOUS] - The sender pretends to be jealous when the receiver interacts with a third party. [HAND] - The sender insists on holding the receiver's hand. [PRACTICE] - The sender jokingly suggests practicing a kiss. [NAMES] - The sender uses cringe-worthy pet names, testing the receiver's ability to stay in character. [SAPPY] - The sender delivers a scripted, sappy declaration of love to the receiver. [DATE] - The sender plans a fake romantic dinner date for the sake of the undercover operation. [SURPRISE] - The sender surprises the receiver with an unexpected, public display of affection. [DANCE] - The sender suggests an impromptu dance to maintain the appearance of a loving couple. [PDA] - The sender goes overboard with public displays of affection, making the receiver uncomfortable.
