the way that one line from the new epilogue in an astarion romance is going to HAUNT me
just. what a profoundly intense thing to confess to someone.
like, just these six months of newfound happiness with you exerts a force on his heart equal and in direct opposition to two centuries of endless torment, the gnawing hunger and exploitation. this flashbulb-bright fraction of his long life holds the same gravity to him as years upon years of darkness and suffering.
in all likelihood, he hasn’t even known his lover for as long as his worst memory lasted, that year sealed away to go mad from starvation and sensory deprivation, yet he still tells them this brief time has been so fundamentally and powerfully important that the weight of even that unimaginable hell is vanishingly small compared to this present he has now and the future ahead of them both.
how am i supposed to act normal about this.

im so sorry i get it now i really do, the gay angels have me shaking screaming crying at all hours of the day and night, they mean everything to me i am literally thinking about them all the time and what it would mean to love someone steadily and silently through eternity, what it would mean to love across the lines of a divine war of supposed good and evil, what it would mean to carve out a space for oneself and ones lover in no man’s land, in the grey and moral ambiguity when you were created to be black and white without blemish. god i love them so much i just

Why me?
Summary: Their reaction to reader asking them why did they chose them as a partner.
SFW / Gender neutral reader / Fluff / General verses
Leo:
He's stunned just for a single heartbeat before a warm smile spreads across his face.
Why you? Because not even a thousand years of profuse meditation could soothe him as much as your voice does.
Because he's hopelessly captivated by your courage and authenticity.
Because the determination flaring in your eyes makes him tremble. Don't ever think for a second that he could choose anyone else.
"You're one in a million, and I'm never letting you go."
Raph:
"You kick ass like nobody, baby!" he jokes. But the blaze in his eyes tells you there's more to it. And there is.
After he collects himself enough, Raph goes on.
Why you? Because you manage to drown the fire before it spreads.
You're there for him whenever he needs you.
Because as strong as he is, there's no place he feels safer than in your arms. And that's worth more than anything in the world for him.
Donnie:
He wants to pour the reassurance you crave from every fiber of his being.
But how? How can Don gaze into your eyes and articulate that he recognized you as 'the one' upon noting you possess the power to shatter him with a single goodbye?
Despite the perspiration, Don responds tenderly.
"Because you authentically care for me and for the things that hold significance in my life. Your brilliance matches your humor, and I can't fathom revealing this depth of myself to anyone else. You— you are the one.'"
Mikey
Why you?
Because you never underestimate his strength, even in the light of his gentle nature.
You truly see him.
It's something Mikey struggles to put into words. It's as if your hearts instinctively recognize each other.
Being with you is like soaring in a hot air balloon that never descends.
And Mikey tells you as much while he tenderly showers your face with gentle kisses.
