Ever start a fic with the entire thing laid out and then suddenly it turns into a crazy beast and smashes everything you built to the ground?
Anyway that is what happened with my newest Call of Duty fic. It got very dark, major character death and shit. And all I wanted was married couples. Curious thing is, one my mates read it and says that the Makarov x Graves dynamic reminds him of the song, "Wrecking Ball", by Sacha Skarbec.
I looked the lyrics up (I refuse to listen to Miley) and then found a gorgeous cover version sung by James Arthur. I was quite blown away. And YES, thanks, Steve it does illustrate it quite well, going with Graves' perspective, but the curious thing is--it can apply a little to both sides. Anyway they aren't broken up though as the song strongly implies. I think I need to go touch some grass, I am going way too hard on this MakaGraves ship.
Here is the fic link if ya want to go insane...
Also.... the lyrics to ponder...
We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain
We jumped never asking why
We kissed, I fell under your spell.
A love no one could deny
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can't live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
I put you high up in the sky
And now, you're not coming down
It slowly turned, you let me burn
And now, we're ashes on the ground
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can't live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
And instead of using force
I guess I should've let you win
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
I guess I should've let you win
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
« Through the magic of the internet, I met Phil. And obviously we were more than friends, but it was more than just romantic. This was someone who genuinely liked me. I trusted them. And for the first time since I was a tiny child, I actually felt safe. And the relationship we formed at that point was something that I needed in my life. We were real best friends, companions through life, like actual soulmates. »
