“Hey, you dropped th—… …Uh, what is this thing, anyways?”
eyes blink, mouth opening and closing as he ponders what e x a c t l y to tell the other. hand reaches and head shakes, the free one, the b u r n e d one, pointing to himself a n d his sword. he's not getting an explanation.
If you are a monster, by choice or birth or curse
If you are a monster, by choice or birth or curse, unleash your poison breath and razor claws.
If you are a monster, by choice or birth or curse, your name is a promise of a fell fate for all your enemies.
If you are a monster, by choice or birth or curse, you will survive the ice, you will build the fire, your wounds will heal, your muscles will grow, your plans will tighten, and you will thrive.
This world is made for monsters.
divinity will stain your fingers and mouth like a pomegranate. it will swallow you whole and spit you out, wine-dark and wanting. you will reach for it again and again, greedy human fingers clutching at everything you can reach. the divine will curl its way through your veins and take you over, and it will not leave you quietly. i feel divinity in my bones like aching; like fire.

Some Corvos I doodled on planes/in coffee shops
W.S. Merwin, “To the Present Tense”
the ground, the air, time itself ; all seems to bend, pliable under experienced boots && breath falling from mouths once spilling the most dark & salacious of lies. not an eye has missed looking upon them, at least for a moment. the facade of their meeting being the first has so indelicately been thrown to the wind, the crowd. this is more than a single dance –– ; for men of actions, it is a speech, coercions made by the accompaniment of all too tenacious steps & notes.
a hold on him is garnered by the other - no, not a choking, malicious touch ; but one he finds has painted the ghost of what might be considered a smile to his face. one, two, twist backward, tracing the lines of corvo’s shoulder before swinging around to face that mask once more. were the ladies of the house to see them now - one might even say the boyle’s spotlight had been s t o l e n .
there is a slowing of the feverish tones that had echoed throughout the party seconds before, an adagio tactfully placed for those not quite so strong as he or corvo to regain the breath lost in the moment. he takes it as an opportunity ––– an inhalation, lips parting to reveal teeth & words with a meaning dually edged.
❛ you’re an exceptional dancer. ❜
( & e x c e p t i o n a l is understated ; but that is, of course, the modus operandi of an assassin. )
the burgeoning waltz is slow ––– but patience & control are virtues he knows they both p o s s e s s .
the c o m p l i m e n t is unexpected, meanings of such a sentence clear in the midst of movement. eyes dart aside, a raspy chuckle leaving otherwise s i l e n t lips. bodies mix, a language both simple and complex. move in, move out. one, two, three. one, two, three. a beat of m o r e than the two of them, yet they continue to be the s i n g l e entity around. one point at the c e n t r e of nothing. slowly does he tighten his hand, mark s i n g i n g as it presses against one so s i m i l a r. it's his way of saying same to you. the music has d u l l e d in his ears, his senses, eyes darting back to the other man. he can see p o t e n t i a l, see the strength and charm he holds. their live, he sees, could have been a chance of fate; two boys of same blood. one on a path of p r o t e c t i o n, the other on the ride for g l o r y. would it be daud who served the empress? would it be he who watched as corvo p l u n g e d his blade into her willing body? who watched his smile grow, a proper laugh escaping a mouth undamaged. it would have been so e a s y for it all to change. free hand, unmarked, travels, lightly holding the man he so easily could have been. it's another one of his cues. yet, the assassin believes it to be a c o n s t a n t. i trust you.
❛ I’D SAY I’M BEING PUNISHED, BUT THE WORLD DOESN’T PUNISH W I C K E D P E O P L E . ❜
( INDIE && SELECTIVE DAUD of DISHONORED. )
he knows the s t a r e s are there. the w h i s p e r s ever present on the tongues of those around him. they speak of his awful deeds, speak of the m o n s t e r in the mask of d e a t h. they speak of dark magic, of the evils he had consorted with. he knows this. he k n o w s this. it eats at him, claws away the barrier he had built to ease these rumours. blue glove, the same colour as his coat, covers his mark, a c r i m e if any were to be held. the days of wearing such a gift proudly have ended. now, he is forced to h i d e. to forget all he had done, had a c h i e v e d. they speak lies but crave t r u t h. he gives them what they d e s e r v e.
music surrounds them, an orchestra of his doubts & misgivings woven so well to please the ears of & around the pair. he wishes it would be so simple, to fall into step with the only serkonan of this age to be considered his rival –––– but the thought keeps him stiff, mired in the mental screams never to trust- not even for a fatal second- that which you once called an enemy. the string section has a conspiratorial forte, a richening of the music ; & ––– he finds the warnings of his mind D R O W N E D out.
( he has not danced in years – the number of which, if he bothered to count, would carve lines on his face. )
the thought fractures the cordial, practiced steps –––––– & for all his subtlety, all his vigilance, daud finds himself dancing ; for the true definition of the word applied now more than ever.
( truly, a boyle party like no other. )
a spin here, a clap in time – it’s fluid, reminiscent of the water in the body dunwall was built around, & into which it fell with the plague. it is a movement of history – - – & the two of them, however i r o n i c a l l y, are at the CENTER.
a smile grows in time with the beat, the tempo, body moving in accordance. he finds his breath catching as he watches, as he f e e l s daud dance. he goes from stiff, alert, to melted, a man of taste and music. it flows to him, calls and urges such c o n t r o l to be let go. the dance suddenly b r e a k s for the better, its strict mold cracking beneath their serkonan b l o o d. body rises with the fever of dance & tune. he doesn't notice the stares, the gazes of masked women and men alike locking on as if this was for s h o w. no, this is not for you. this is for him. arm extends and fold, leaving the other adrift in the sea of l i a r s and t h i e v e s. of would be q u e e n s and k i n g s. drawing him back, pressing closer before the waves of a cresting crescendo force feet to step back, to create a barrier that stands tall against such a f o r c e. only to crash and burn as eyes meet, time slowing as the music in his ears drives him forward, hands secure around the man's ( not a murderer, not a fiend, enemy, or rival ) form, anchoring him now as the wind settles, an echo of their true d a n c e resounding through the room, his h e a r t. it will not be their last.

THIS CORVO PLAYLIST IS SO FUCKING GOOD I CANT
a hand, sealed a twin to his own, is before him. he has let the years carry him on rough tides of betrayal, traps, & the undying seas of change ; & he knows this is a choice, poision offered so sweetly ––– –– - – undeniable & an utterly exquisite way to drink in inevitable retribution.
( & so gloves meets skin, joined marks splitting a discordant note within the fibers of worn flesh. )
❛ –––– we are serkonan. ❜
there is a dispassionate tone to his voice, but there is nothing to reflect that in the foot that glides forward, toe to toe as the waltz renews.
it surprises him, eyes blinking in shock beneath the mask he wore, as his hand is taken, a c c e p t e d. there's a spark of something down his spine; venom disguised as something p l e a s a n t. the mark stings against the man labeled as r i v a l, yet falls silent as the dance begins. smirk replaces shock, head bowing slightly in return. we are serkonan, indeed. two of the same. boys turned to men. men turned to k i l l e r s. one a murderer. the other, death itself. the question: which one is b e t t e r? all of your life is depending on w h o and w h a t you're defending. corvo moves easily, feet pressing closer, then fading when the music calls. soft movements, full of the emotions he can n e v e r speak, never s h o w.
the dance is nice. the dance is right. head moves, free hand lifting his mask just enough, lips free to croak out the sounds he isn't sure daud can even understand. there is no threat. r e l a x.

the papers in his grasp, weighed down with t i m e and whispers of the sea, are filled to the brim with m e m o r i e s he has, at last, decided to face. there are paintings of a sun-filled smile, words written in ink, seemingly so s o l i d in their promises at the time. there's notes, stolen s e c r e t s shared in the company of two. and then, there are the drawings. sweet gifts given to a man so d i f f e r e n t than he is now. pages turn, until the very last memory is upon him; her name is emily. written on a single piece of parchment, the ink stained from his hands, his tears. they mark his joy, his frustration. they mark his s o r r o w. there's suddenly footsteps, small and light, and corvo closes the book, eyes stinging and throat constricting. he expects no one else then the young girl who walks so f e a r l e s s l y to his room. he greets her with a smile, hair falling to mask the emotion he can never truly hide.
