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
Tumblr media
‘  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 . 
Tumblr media
‘  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 ”

“ 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 ”

“ 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."
Tumblr media
something  between  bewilderment   &   vulnerability  claims  qrow’s  features ,   red  stretching  across  freckled  cheeks . 
Tumblr media
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 ?
Tumblr media
‘ 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
Tumblr media
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. 
Tumblr media
                         “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 .  
Tumblr media
‘  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 . ‘
Tumblr media
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 .  ‘
