sorry i’ve been mia, i’ve been dealing with some really bad back pain and i am seeing someone for it to hopefully either get better or learn to better manage the pain, but in the meantime it does make getting online difficult since all i want to do is lay down or sleep because of pain medicine.

At    the    first    sign    of    their    conversation    shifting    to    becoming    about    him,    Nico    shrugs    off    her    concern.    He    pulls    the    final    stitch    closed,    knots,    and    cuts    the    excess    string.    Then    he    takes    the   bottle    of    vodka    from    where    he’d    tossed    it    in    the    sand    and    draws    back    a    sizeable    swig.    His    face    scrunches    up    with    a    crooked    grin    and    he    suggests,      “COULD USE SOME MORE OF THIS, EH? MAYBE SOMETHING WITH A BIT MORE SPICE.”     

Laying    back    in    the    sand,    he    rests    the    back    of    his    head    on    his    crossed    wrists    and    fixates    his    gaze    on    the    endless    skies.    His    injury    and    the    lack    his    ability    to    heal    is    a    weight    in    his    brain,    and    he    can’t    help    but    think    about    how    leaving    it    alone    would    only    serve    to    rot    his    flesh    over    time.    He    needs    to    repair    himself,    take    care    of    the    problem,    but    he    isn’t    exactly    in    a    hurry.    There    are    few    options    for    revitalizing    himself    on    this    island    and    he    doesn’t    like    any    of    them.     “MAYBE YOU COULD GET A SHIP.”      He    laughs    off    the    notion    knowing    full    well    how    difficult    likely    is    to    procure    such    a    vessel.

of course he shifts the conversation and uma can’t say she’s surprised by it. she won’t push or pry, even if she has a nagging need to want to help in some way. she instead scoffs out a slight laugh at his request, shaking her head with an amused smile on her lips. “because more alcohol is exactly what we need on this little island paradise.” the sea-witch says, but they both know she’ll deliver on his request. with her stitches finished, uma lays back carefully against the sandy beach as her mind wanders for the moment. 

“a ship is easy enough to steal and cloak with magic, getting it through the barrier is a different problem altogether.” uma is quick to remind nico, nose scrunching up slightly as her thoughts drift to the lost revenge still anchored at the docks of the isle. she misses her crew terribly, and the ship that’s been in disrepair for a while now. she’ll get sea worthy again, she’ll sail again, but first she has to get back. “living on a ship might be better than some magically constructed shack on an island though. that is if you aren’t prone to getting sea sick.” 

hookd​:

these weeks have been the six longest weeks of his life- but also the shortest. he’s taken to the captaincy like a bird takes to flying. which is to say, hesitantly and without being completely sure of himself. he has battled for territory more times than he cares to count, but so far that has been his only working policy. keep the territory, look after the ship, everything else will deal with itself until uma gets back. he’s always been outwardly sure of her coming back, he’d never doubt her loyalty- but he doesn’t know what would happen if she was found by their guards. they wouldn’t be inclined to just give her back, would they? so she’s being sensible, she’s hiding, she’s recouping, she’s planning. 

except apparently the words uma and sensible don’t belong in the same sentence. he’s trawling the seafront, looking for fish to steal when he spots the blue against the grey sand and brown waves and his feet move before his head catches up. he touches her gently, carefully. she’s unconscious, but doesn’t look injured. so of course, he hoists her into his arms and carries her back to the ship. people stare but he doesn’t have the free hand to teach them not to, so for once, he lets it slide. uma is more important. once on the ship, he takes her to her cabin and lays her on her bed, covering her with blankets and then settling into a wobbly chair at her side. 

it’s hours later when she jerks awake, making him jump in surprise, but immediately reach for her, fingers hovering inches from her shoulder. “ uma, ” he murmurs, soothing and reverent. “ it’s alright, you’re alright. ”

she’s sure it’s all a dream until she hears harry’s voice, it anchors her to the moment and gives uma a chance to focus on the rocking of the ship as it moves with the waves. she’s done it, she’s fought her way back onto the isle and as odd as it is she’s happier for it. but she cannot deny how disconnected she feels once the realization has settled in. uma has given up not just her freedom but the access to magics she’s only ever dreamed of wielding. 

there’s a feeling of emptiness that she’s uncomfortably familiar with, only this time uma knows exactly what it is that’s been taken away from her. it’s something that she’ll keep to herself, but the loss is still felt and deeply. it’s a choice she knows she’d make again if she has to, her crew and her people come before her own wants and needs. something that uma has proven time and time again, even at risk of her very life. she merely hopes the rest of the isle remembers that despite her failure to bring the barrier down and free them. 

at least she still has harry, at least she hopes so, uma knows better than to assume but she knows she’s let him down as well and it eats at her when she looks over to him. “what happened? the last thing i remember is breaking through the barrier and making it to shore. how’d i get here?” she resists the urge to reach out and hug him, but she does lift a hand to his chest, feels the beating heart under it and reassures herself again that this isn’t a dream.

WHERE  DO  YOU  GO  WHEN  YOU  CLOSE  YOUR  EYES ?

FREE

the chains binding you to the prison floor smell faintly of kerosene, and they're wet to the touch (only if you think about it). how long has it been since they clipped your wings? you hate how useless you are when you can't do anything except sit still and look pretty. why has nobody come to rescue you yet?

“Sounds… useful, I guess.” It wasn’t hard for Mal to notice the sweet scent that filled the surrounding air, and her head tilted curiously at the concoction. She couldn’t say that many of the potions she worked on necessarily came out tasting or smelling as good, but when those called for ingredients like a crow’s foot, it was understandable.

“Ah…” She trailed off, the love potion she first brewed coming to mind. It was probably best to avoid any mention of that for now… “I made a truth serum gummy once. Never tried it myself, but apparently, it had a nasty after taste.”

-

“that’s probably because the truth is often bitter.” uma noted, adding in more ingredients before offering another glance of at mal. it was still strange for her for them not to be at each other’s throats constantly. on one hand it made for a more relaxing time and nothing was blowing up or getting destroyed. on the other hand, it left uma a bit unsure of what to do when she wasn’t arguing with mal. thankfully she had her potion to distract her.

uma paused for a moment, considering something before choosing to check on her potion instead. “i’d offer to let you help, but i’d rather not get blown up.” was she actually making a joke? the barely concealed smirk on her lips would suggest so.

a hush falls over the room when uma enters, all eyes on her for a moment as if waiting to see what the infamous pirate will do. no one can ever really gauge her moods, at least none that don’t know her well enough to see the signs that she’s in no mood for a brawl that day. she steps past the threshold, waving off the two women that approach when she finds herself a secluded corner to hunker down in for the moment. the revelry picks back up in little time, pirates giving into drunken stupor and allowing themselves to be led off to rooms where their pockets will likely be emptied for temporary pleasures. uma isn’t there for any of that, she’s here because her presence has been requested by flint in hopes of forming an alliance. the pirate captain is skeptical to say the least, and she is certainly not the most trusting of women nor is she a fan of the games men tend to enjoy playing. it’s just her luck that before flint has arrived she’s instead greeted by the management of this fine establishment. 

“ah, the woman in charge. to what do i owe the pleasure of your fine company?”

China Anne McClain as Uma in Descendants 3

So with coming back I’d like to be as plot based as possible, so mutuals please give this like if I can come to you and plot out a thread or two with you for our muses. All verses are available, but please be mindful of my canon divergences if you are wanting to interact in a descendants verse. 

For those who I had threads with prior, please be aware that all threads previously were dropped, however, if we had something going connection wise with our muses I am more than happy to keep those connections just let me know what you would prefer. 

Anyways, like the post and I will come to your IM’s so that we can plot. 

Happy Birthday! Enjoy your sleep :)

Thank you friend! I have been enjoying my sleep very much. It's what I deserve honestly.
