       “I am a God. I do not get sick.”

          “Trust me, even Gods can get sick sometimes. Nothing to be ashamed of.”

                            ❛  both is always an acceptable answer.  ❜  

[wxnderlandsfinest]

“Both it is, then. What are you doing in town today, if I may ask?”

[wxnderlandsfinest]

rumdaydreams:

Killian does his best to temper his playful jibes, he notes his friend’s exhaustion and levels with him.  ❝  Pirate though I am, you needn’t bribe me with rum, you know. That said, I’m a fool to say no to an offer like that. ❞   He pauses.  

❝  Do you want to talk about it? ❞   He’s fairly convinced his attempt will be brushed aside, but he hopes, perhaps, his mate will take the offer.

His instinct is to push Killian away, bury it all deep within himself as he always did. But truthfully... He hadn’t really been able to speak to anyone else about what he’d been feeling. Perhaps Killian was the only one who would truly understand it, in any case.

“I... It might be foolish of me to dwell on it.” He let out a sigh, gathering the words within him. “But it... it was my wife’s birthday a few days ago. My late wife.” Jefferson could feel the tightness in his chest and curled a fist to try and keep it in. “I shouldn’t still feel it after all these years, I just... It’s hard to let go of her, I suppose. I see so much of her in Grace.”

-lightly kisses his cheek and hands him the finest tea from london- for the tea i 'stole'

“Well if this is what I get in return, feel free to steal from me anytime...”

justmilah:

She waited as he threw more rocks in, breath held each time an arrow whizzed close to the hat, impressed that he’d figured a way to deplete the arrows without them becoming walking pin cushions.

Milah flashed a grin at him as she entered the chamber, eyes lighting on the bits of treasure surrounding the hat. There were some knives in ornate daggers and at least one cutlass, and plenty of bits and pieces of jewelry that could easily fit in her pockets.

She turned to him with a slight whine, bouncing on her heels. She wanted loot. She wanted to fill her pockets and then argue prices with merchants. She wanted to wield the cutlass while having a knife tucked in her boot. One of the bad things about liking treasure was resisting the urge to just take it all.

“We can take some, right? I believe that might have been the only trap they’d set for us.” Even as she said this, she held up the tiny pendant for signs of more traps.

He followed her in, but kept his eyes alert as she bounced about, still not quite certain the room was done with them. While he understood her desire to steal some of the treasures, he also didn’t particularly want to see some new horror appear due to their thievery.

“I say if you’re going to grab something, we’d better be quick about it and jump right in,” he answered her. Jefferson grabbed his hat from the pedestal, seeing no new arrows whizzing towards him, and spun it on the ground to open up the portal back to the Enchanted Forest.

“Take what you can and let’s go,” he shouted over the growing noise coming from his hat as the purple portal appeared beneath their feet. Taking a step towards it, he reached for Milah’s hand.

hookedcop:

The ghost of a smile appears on the policeman’s face at the sight of a steaming cup coming his way. The very apple of any decent Britishman’s eye. Like the saying says: You could take a man from the Island…  ‘  Cheers, mate. Appreciate it.  ’  He mutters with a nod before taking the cuppa in hands and taking a small sip of it.  ‘  Bloody brilliant. Soothes any ails.  ’  Now he is much more of a mood for small talk.  ‘  You’ve got a daughter, don’t you? How is she?  ’

Grabbing his own mug of tea from behind the counter, Jack sat at the table adjacent to the officer, wanting to give him whatever space he desired. “I do, yes. Cassidy. She’ll be turning sixteen in a month, if you can believe it...” He couldn’t, of course. It seemed like just yesterday she was hosting tea parties for an array of stuffed animals in her room. It was hard to watch her grow, growing farther from him as she did. Not wanting to dwell too much, he steered the conversation towards Rogers instead. “Do you have family here?”

[wxnderlandsfinest]

justmilah:

There were no familiar faces for Milah up on the wall. She’d been gone from this realm too long, and the closest she could hope for was a descendant of someone she knew.

Milah clapped her hands and wiggled in excitement before she tucked the wanted poster out of the way. “And besides which, I’m certain…” She peeked at the name on the poster. “Fred won’t mind if there’s one less face of his plastered on a wall somewhere.”

It was easy to eat relatively quickly, a thing she normally did, but dammit she was going to enjoy this. “I used to sneak down some wanted posters and adverts that had been on the board so long they were practically faded. It’s rather frugal, I admit, but it beats using money that could be used on other frivolous items such as food.”

He watched as she cleared the rest of her food much faster than he expected her to. Having still a few pieces of bread and his mug to finish off, he listened as she spoke and tried to catch up. It was nice, having a real meal like this with her. They’d been running around for so long and he did enjoy a break now and then.

Once he’d rid his plate of any remaining food, he took a last swig from his mug and listed an eyebrow. “Frivolous? I don’t think I know anyone else who would refer to food as a frivolous item...”

Glancing at the room around them, he noticed most of the more well-off fellows had cleared out as the night grew darker. With luck, they’d have a room farther away from the bar room as the ruckus was sure to grow as the evening went on. “Would you care to go upstairs before the real trouble starts arriving down here?”

[wxnderlandsfinest]

mxrana:

“I’ve already gone mad… over you.” Mirana let out a soft chuckle as she gazed up at him. There was so much love and adoration in her eyes, she could only hope he knew how grateful she was that he had come.

“I never in my life thought I would ever fall in love. I thought I did with the King but it was all a lie. He never made me feel like you do and I know you took great risks to see me and for that, I do not know how it is possible to love you more.”

“You shouldn’t lose your head over someone like me, Mirana...” Jefferson couldn’t help the slight twinge of pain that crept into his voice as he spoke. All he wanted was to be here with her, happy and careless. But it was exactly that carelessness that forced him out of the moment, made him remember those mistakes from his more naive days.

“You know I love you,” he murmured, keeping her close to him. “But you know this is dangerous. If the King ever discovered us... He’d have both our heads.” His hand absently ran over the back of her neck, his eyes seeming farther away as if he was watching the tragic act occur. “I don’t know how I could bare that.”

[wxnderlandsfinest]

mcrtii:

               the warmth of death is a pain to have, a gift not always for the better. true it’s nice and refreshing to find those who find comfort in her presence but that’s what its there for. to keep mortals at ease when facing death. this doesn’t set well with in the vessels mind, unsure if mortals thoroughly enjoy her company or simply feel relaxed enough around her due to her power. pushing the thought from her head, ava smiles softly at the other. a light chuckle passing from her lips —

                            ❛  now, who’s to say that if I told you, you would go running off to save the poor soul. you know you can’t cheat death my dear, and if you did — you’d simply be making my job a lot harder.  ❜  

               She was right to have her doubts, of course. He’d never expect her to give up a name so freely. But his curiosity had always been his downfall. Trust wasn’t something he could ask from her at the time, but logic could appease her, if he used it well. Jefferson did pride himself on being adept in that aspect, at least.

               “I imagine you have some assortment of knowledge about myself and this town as a person in your position of power...” he began, crossing his arms and settling comfortably into himself. “Can you honestly tell me you believe I would attempt such a thing? There’s only one other person I know of in this godforsaken town I would ever attempt to save and I don’t believe you’d take her from me quite yet.”

[wxnderlandsfinest]

justmilah:

It was easier to miss a ship than it was to miss people. There were messes that came with missing people, an ache that wouldn’t be chased away. To focus on a ship instead was safer.

Still. Her eyebrows rose. “Really?” It would be both worse and better to have her ship back. At least then she’d have the memories that came along with her, painful as some might be. Plus, home. 

“I am most certainly up for it.” Her eyes glittered as she rubbed her hands together. “Of course, there might be people to fight. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say it was my birthday!”

“You know I get a little worried when I see that glint in your eyes, Milah...” he said, only half serious. He was considerably excited by the prospect of new adventure himself. He’d been stagnant for too long.

“Speaking of birthdays...” His eyebrow lifted and he turned to face her more directly. “I’ve just thought... I don’t actually know when yours is. I feel friends should know these things, don’t you?”

He’d never taken much stock in silly holidays like birthdays before when it concerned only him, but celebrating Milah was something he could get behind. After all, everyone needed a little extra joy now and then.

[wxnderlandsfinest]

viridisalae:

Tink could understand the girl’s liking for technology, she was fond of it as well but she understood what Jefferson meant. “Things are different here, the magic especially.” It seemed to favor people like Gold and Regina while her own kind were suffering. “Pixie dust is in short supply in this realm and we don’t even have our wings.” That didn’t really matter to her since she had lost them years before but to see the others, Blue and Rosetta without them Tink found it to be very disconcerting. “I miss it a lot.”

To be honest, he hadn’t thought much of the lack of pixie dust in the land as he’d been so used to magic being vacant from the land. He’d all but washed his hands of it after his dealings with Regina and the others. It was just as well that magic didn’t favor him any longer. Grace never really cared for it. But he couldn’t help but long for the days of travel and carelessness. “I do wonder at times... If there could be a way back. Something someone missed.”

[wxnderlandsfinest]

ironprince:

“belle like… beauty and the beast belle?” tony raised an eyebrow. “working in a library? you couldn’t make that stuff up.” but he nodded his head and sat back. “i’ll take your word for it and check it out when i’m done here.”

It was hard to keep the smile from his face once he realized how it must sound to an outsider. “No, you really can’t make it up,” he muttered. “I expect you’ll run into several other strange coincidences while you’re here. The town is called Storybrooke, after all.”

[wxnderlandsfinest]

hiatus notice

hi friends i’m really sorry but i need to take a hiatus as i’m in rehearsals for no exit and i need to focus on that and my independent project. i will try to get some drafts out over this time but my activity will likely be very inconsistent. i hope to be back after things get less busy ♡

[wxnderlandsfinest]

hi everyone i’m sorry i haven’t been here and i can’t promise activity will immediately pick back up soon but i will try to work on drafts and get everything posted in the next week

[wxnderlandsfinest]

hookedcop:

      Rogers nods, only mildly satisfied at the shift in the shop owner’s gears.  ‘  Thank you.  ’  He mutters, though features remain unyielding. It wasn’t a hard deduction to make, that.  ‘ You’d be right. Work’s been difficult lately. I could use a good cuppa.  ’

     He wasn’t quite used to interacting with the officer as of yet, not having had too many run-ins with the policemen of the town. But he was always sympathetic to anyone having a bad day. He had a fair amount of them himself, especially since Cassidy wasn’t around as much these days. After waiting for the tea to steep for a few minutes he brought it over to Rogers and offered a small smile in tandem. “I hope this does the job all right,” he said. “I know it helps me after long days.”

ＬＡＢＹＲＩＮＴＨ → the sentence meme

Below you will find quotes taken directly or paraphrased from the movie 'Labyrinth'. You know, the one starring David Bowie's bulge. Send in one of the following to see how my muse reacts:

❝ I ask for so little. ❞

❝ Just let me rule you, and you can have everything that you want. ❞

❝ Just fear me, love me - do as I say and I will be your slave.❞

❝ You remind me of the babe. ❞

❝ That’s not fair! ❞

❝ Give me the child. ❞

❝ You say that so often, I wonder what your basis for comparison is? ❞

❝ I have been generous up ‘til now; I can be cruel. ❞

❝ You cowered before me, I was frightening. ❞

❝ I have reordered time; I have turned this world upside down, and I have done it all for you! ❞

❝ I am exhausted from living up to your expectations. ❞

❝ Isn’t that generous? ❞

❝ Your mother is a fraggin’ aardvark! ❞

❝ Everything I’ve done, I’ve done for you. ❞

❝ I move the stars for no one. ❞

❝ Your eyes can be so cruel. ❞

❝ If she ever kisses you, I’ll turn you into a prince. ❞

❝ If he ever kisses you, I’ll turn you into a princess. ❞

❝ You’re him, aren’t you? ❞

❝ You’re her, aren’t you? ❞

❝ My will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom as great. ❞

❝ You have no power over me. ❞

❝ How you turn my world, you precious thing. ❞

❝ Well then, come on, which way? ❞

❝ Which way do you want to go, hm? ❞

❝ Was that wrong? ❞

❝ I’ve brought you a gift. ❞

❝ But if you turn it this way and look into it, it will show you your dreams. ❞

❝ In nine hours and twenty-three minutes…you’ll be mine. ❞

❝ Where you goin’ with a head like that? ❞

❝ No, I said ‘allo’, but that’s close enough. ❞

❝ It’s only forever, not long at all. ❞

❝ All right then, throw down your weapons, and I’ll see that you’re well-treated. ❞

❝ Don’t tell me truth hurts, because it hurts like hell. ❞

❝ No one can blame you for walking away. ❞

❝ I don’t know why, but every now and again in my life - for no reason at all - I need you. ❞

❝ The way forward is sometimes the way back. ❞

❝ It’s very rude to stare! ❞

❝ What did you have to go and do a thing like that for? ❞

❝ What’d you expect fairies to do? ❞

❝ What’s the matter, my dear, don’t like your toys? ❞

❝ There’s such a sad love, deep in your eyes. ❞

❝ I’ll place the sky within your eyes. ❞

❝ What kind of magic spell to use? ❞

❝ I’ll paint you mornings of gold. ❞

❝ I’ll spin you Valentine evenings. ❞

❝ I’ll be there for you as the world falls down. ❞

❝ We’re choosing the path between the stars. ❞

❝ I’ll leave my love between the stars. ❞

❝ How you turned my world, you precious thing. ❞

❝ You starve and near exhaust me. ❞

❝ I do believe in you. ❞

❝ I live without the sunlight. ❞

❝ I love without your heartbeat. ❞

❝ I can’t live within you. ❞
