psa; moving blogs!

so i feel like i need a bit of a fresh start. things on this blog have felt kind of stagnant for me, and i’ve been wanting to refresh my tagging system, change my url, and generally clean things up in general because i feel like i haven’t been writing much and the clutter on this blog is one of the contributing factors. 

no one is under any obligation to follow my new blog, but if you’re still interested in following me, you can find me HERE at @patroklides ! 

all plotted relationships will be carried over, and if we have a plotted thread, feel free to let me know if you want to continue it ! also, if you wrote a birthday message for dedue and you follow me on the new blog, i do still plan to respond to those — i just need a clean slate first.

it’s bad brain hours, friends. 

[writtenstars-arch]

i’m staring at the last of the birthday asks for dedue trying to put words together and i cannot string anything coherent together at all but i do think dedue deserves kisses. 😔

[writtenstars-arch]

the temptation to remake and start fresh with drafts/inbox/etc is very strong. 

[writtenstars-arch]

i want to write but i just spent several hours cleaning and i think i need a nap.

                            SHAKING HANDS  /     unsteady ,  nervous .  tiny scabs from tinier pricks ,  needle-worn fingers the clutch gift like a lifeline .  pulse in ears ,  roars ,  roars .  not fear ,  not anymore ,  but  …

      a crisp knock of a heavy door .  it echoes through the ghostly walls ,  every reverberation causing their heart to pound harder .  they are interrupting him .  he is probably doing important work ,  something edelgard asked of him ,  something he needs to focus on and they’re just going to distract him–

      the door creaks open ,  and who is bernie without a small squeak of fear ?  the looming figure above them is not angry ,  but they shrink back all the same .

                                 ❝     i–i’m sorry ,  this is a bad time ,  i didn’t mean to–    ❞

      they shove the gift forward ,  a circle of embroidered canvas .  they made several matching ones ,  and he is the first to receive it .  a neat depiction of himself ,  a silhouette against a moonlit skyline ,  looking more beautiful than scary .

                                ❝     um ,  this is for you  !    ❞

THE SHARP SOUND OF A KNOCK is enough to break his concentration, and he gives a soft sigh before pushing himself up from his desk, stiff joints aching in protest of the long hours spent poring over his work. he is overdue for a break, he supposes, as irritating as the interruption is. ferdinand, no doubt, he thinks, here to foist tea and sweets upon him — or perhaps dorothea, eager to share the latest gossip about the uppercrust of enbarr. ( amazing, really, the things you can overhear at the opera. )

         ❝ ah — ❞ he does not expect bernadetta of all people to be standing in the doorway of his office — and yet, before he can say another word, they’re already winding themself up into a panic. ❝ it’s fine, bernadetta. i’m in need of a break regardless, so if there is something you need —❞

         before he can finish the thought, an embroidery hoop is being foisted into his arms, and the act is nearly enough to stun him into silence. it’s exquisite — he would expect nothing less from their craftsmanship, of course — but that is not the part that strikes him, not quite.

         ❝ this is lovely, but is this … ❞     his brows crease in thought, one gloved finger tracing over the raised edges of the embroidery.      ❝ is this meant to be me ?❞     something about it makes him feel self-conscious, though he cannot quite place why. striking as it is, it seems … ill-suited for one such as him. is this how they see him ?

         ❝  thank you. ❞     he ignores the faint heat in his cheeks, and rather pointedly does not meet their eyes.     ❝ i don’t pretend to understand your motive for continuing to give such gifts to me, but it is … appreciated.❞
