y’all ever think about how wholly qrow loves his family ... the amount of both self - hate & control it took for him to be apart from them for long stretches of time ... all so he could 1 ) spare them from his semblance , & 2 ) try to finish the fight against salem , even without his teammates , just so they wouldn’t have to ...
yet by the end of vol vii he’s separated from them again , reminded that he can’t escape his semblance , unsure of if yang & ruby are okay , & still reeling from the reality that salem can never be destroyed .

@mosaiqk : “ you’re not that good a liar , and i’m not that stupid ”
alice : madness returns starters / accepting
‘ guess i’ve lost my touch , ‘ qrow laughs , voice dry & jagged . behind feigned annoyance lingers pride , impressed by her perception .
calloused hands reach into his jacket , producing a small , vaguely rectangular thing . on closer inspection , it appears to be a box , poorly wrapped in crinkled newspaper , tied with red twine . nestled inside are a pair of earrings , a sparkling mix of reds & whites , a tiny gift for the girl he’s come to view as family .
‘ saw you looking at these in that storefront , kiddo . ‘ he hands the crumply gift to weiss , practically beaming despite his terrible wrapping job . ‘ thought with everything going on right now , you deserve them . ‘

lines taken from various characters and events found in american mcgee’s game , alice : madness returns ( 2011 ) . feel free to change pronouns ( he , she , they , i , etc ) & tenses as you feel necessary .
“ another day , a different dream perhaps ”
“ i know what’s real ”
“ i know i’m guilty of something ”
“ punishment hardly ever suits the victims of a crime ”
“ you’ve used me and abused me , but you will not destroy me ! ”
“ i want to forget ”
“ it’s not a dream , it’s a memory ”
“ how is one to find her way ? ”
“ i didn’t kill my family ”
“ i’ve not come back here looking for a fight ”
“ i’m not afraid to die ”
“ when you’re not on edge , you’re taking up too much space ”
“ threats , promises , and good intentions don’t amount to action ”
“ every picture tells a story . sometimes we don’t like the ending . sometimes we don’t understand it ”
“ delusions , too , die hard with memory ”
“ only the savage regard the endurance of pain as the measure of worth ”
“ forgetting pain is convenient , remembering it : agonizing ”
“ a secret is only a secret when it is unspoken to another ”
“ different denotes neither bad nor good , but it certainly means not the same ”
“ how fine you look when dressed in rage ”
“ is our situation not dismal ? ”
“ every adventure requires a first step ”
“ only a few find the way , some don’t recognize it when they do — some don’t ever want to ”
“ everything’s a nail , is it , miss hammerhead ? ”
“ forgetting’s just forgetting , except when it’s not ”
“ a good guest does not overstay , a perfect guest stays home ”
“ who benefits from your madness ? ”
“ what you claim not to know is merely what you’ve denied ”
“ authority must be obeyed , or it must be overthrowned ”
“ you shouldn’t ask questions you know the answer to ”
“ make your survival mean something ”
“ memory is more often a curse than a blessing ”
“ the past must be paid for ”
“ you’re as randomly lethal and entirely confused as you ever were ”
“ return to whatever hovel’s home to you ”
“ your presence here is unwelcome ”
“ everyone here has an excuse for doing nothing ”
“ this world is not so either / or ”
“ what’s true of the living is often true of the dead ”
“ this life is full of random death ”
“ death is the ultimate equalizer ”
“ all have the right to be eaten ”
“ you’re not that good a liar , and i’m not that stupid ”
“ your madness will be punished ”
“ come to receive your punishment then ? ”
“ the damage is done ”

@fourtune : "i like being the reason you smile."
something between bewilderment & vulnerability claims qrow’s features , red stretching across freckled cheeks .
but the shock gives way to confidence , to the feeling of an enveloping sun , & an unmistakable fondness pulls his lips into a grin . pure , unaffected by years of woes . qrow , in a cross between courage & impulsiveness , takes clover’s hand in his own .
‘ yeah , i like making you smile too , clo , ‘ he says in that easy , almost lazy way . there’s a small laugh as he adds , ‘ i wanna do it more often . ‘

the amateurish touch is maddening . decades of espionage have seeped into every hollowed bone , stretching across blackened wings & ricocheting into the horizon . qrow’s devoted a profound amount of time spying for ozpin already . there are months , years he wishes he could get back - sometimes just a week more with yang & ruby . but salem , & her forces have made that nothing more than a flitting daydream . why should he let a novice ruin his sacrifices ?
‘ nice try , ‘ he laughs , voice dry & whisky - worn . ‘ i’ve got just as much clearance as you , pal . ‘
a steady hand resting on harbinger , vermilion gaze assesses his unexpected company . same age , maybe younger . has the posture of an atlesian military huntress , but something’s off . seems to be operating alone -- or at least , she certainly doesn’t have the weathered & terrified gaze of salem’s operatives . this would be interesting .
‘ what’re you here for ? ‘ he asks , wry smile pulling into something more serious . ‘ i’m not looking for a fight , kid . ‘
@harbinngr liked for a starter
This was not how this was supposed to go.
Morana had meant to sneak into the hangar bay, when it was supposed to be empty; it was empty every time that evening, always had been, for years, in between shifts, the returning Huntsmen having left already, the ones heading out on missions in airships bound for their destinations. So why, of all times, that Morana broke in was there someone in there?
Someone she didn’t recognize, at that, just as old as her, if not older. A quick glance as she took him in, tall and long-legged, salt-and-pepper hair slightly disheveled, wearing not the standard white and blue of Atlas Huntsmen but gray and red.
Two things: he was not here during regular mission hours, and he was just as out of place here as she was.
When in doubt, bluff.
“May I ask what you are doing here?” she asked. “And if you even have clearance to be in here, unsupervised?”

the sheer bittersweetness of qrow being the only one to watch yang & ruby graduate , & telling ruby how proud summer would be , remembering how he felt at his own graduation alongside his team . trying so hard to give his family back the normalcy they need , but also making peace with the fact things have changed , & that’s okay . literally that scene will never Not Make Me Bawl

fourtune / clover ·:
🍀 ░░ he decides from the moment he hears it, clover likes the sound of corvid’s laughter. perhaps a bit muted, a telling sign of not wanting to be too loud, but it’s genuine. unique. earthy. clover wants to be the cause of it more often. qrow goes on to speak and clover listens with the same intent as qrow did him.
cursed. was that how qrow viewed himself? he won’t give the man pity because he finds the emotion to be insulting, but he does indeed feeling something for the man as he explains having grown up virtually on his own, before being taken in by people that were hard to look up to. his mothers weren’t perfect, one was actually rather nasty, but even clover had role models that he could aspire to become. qrow seemed the type to have brought himself up by his bootstraps.
“don’t apologize. thank you for telling me,” he says first, wanting to make sure qrow knows the information shared here was safe between them, “and i find your eyes beautiful. like a cardinal’s wings. i don’t see how anyone could have considered them otherwise,” perhaps a little bold on his part, but so be it. clover is nothing if not honest.
before he lets that statement settle too long, clover is taking his turn, “why a scythe? i imagine you built your own weapon like most of us do. why that type?”
heart fluttering , bewilderment claimed , qrow’s breath hitches in his throat . a look of shock melts to awe , & then to something even softer . said eyes , whether cardinal or cursed , threaten to tear up , but qrow blinks the urge away .
‘ i , uh --- ‘ he fumbles , searching for any response his bird brain can conjure . he wants to tell clover about the cresting waves frozen in his eyes , or the fact no one’s ever made him feel so special , or so wanted . he wants to return that feeling to clover , to make him happy , or something more than that . but all qrow can manage is a simple , ‘ thanks , clover . ‘ & a slight tinge of regret .
‘ but , uh , to answer your question , my favorite huntsman used a scythe , ‘ qrow absent - mindedly says , only half committed to their continued game . ‘ i used a broadsword in the tribe , so i wanted a weapon with both . ‘
but his mind won’t turn from clover’s smile , or his genuine compliment . qrow can’t remember ever being so talkative . so hungry , so wanting to give every brimming second inside him to someone else . he wishes he could pry open his soul for clover , to give him every ugly , shameful moment , alongside all the radiant ones . qrow wants clover to know him . to know everything , to know ---
‘ i like your eyes too , ‘ he reveals , completely ignoring the fact the conversation had moved on . embarrassment washes over him , but nothing close to regret . ‘ & i like talking to you . i like going on these transports & playing seventeen rounds of poker in a row with you . ‘
he pauses , a smile evident as he says , ‘ you’re a good man , clo . i’m glad to have you in my life . ‘ there’s a soft , dry laugh as he adds , ‘ might even consider myself lucky . ‘
