Imagine being Bill's spouse, and getting hurt during the war.

St Mungos was full past capacity after the war, and they were pushing out anyone that they could to make beds for those that needed quick and drastic treatment. You had been one of the ones that was considered ‘fit enough to be home’ despite the fact that you were in a near-coma. The magic that was keeping you alive could be administered at home by your husband. Your condition wasn’t considered enough of an emergency. So day after day, Bill was watching over you. He grieved for his brother, but he was refusing to grieve for you. You were still breathing. You had to have a chance. Your heart was still beating. He heard it when he lied next to you, keeping you warm, hoping his body heat would do something. Anything. The only time that he left your side was to be at his brother’s funeral. You would have wanted him to go. He knew this. So he left you in the care of one of his friends for a couple of hours, and then hurried back anxiously as soon as it was done. He was terrified, deep down, that he was going to come home and find that you were no longer among the living. He made himself a cup of tea to soothe the nerves after checking on you. Sipping it, he went and he sat in the chair which was eternally by your bedside, and took your hand, watching the steady rise and fall of your chest. The magic kept you breathing - but it could not wake you up. Nobody had been able to catch which spell had hit you, so no one knew how to reverse it, how to cure you, and it was tearing him up inside. He was letting himself feel for his brother, letting himself miss the goofy grin and mischievous antics of the one that he had lost. He had fallen asleep telling you every detail of the funeral, tears falling down his face, until he had fallen asleep, half of him wishing that … that he had been able to join you in the in-between so that he wouldn’t have to feel like this. Until a squeezing sensation on his hand woke him up. His head shot up, neck sore from when it had been drooping in sleep, and the first thing that he saw were your eyes, blinking awake. He paused, frozen, wondering if this was a dream. Was he going to wake up? If he moved, he just might, and he wanted to soak this in for as long as he could. The image of your eyes - he’d missed it so much. “Bill?” And your voice. He missed that too. It sounded haggard from disuse, from dryness. But it was still undeniably your voice. And you said it again, your eyes blinking, trying to get adjusted to the late afternoon light coming through the windows. He couldn’t hold still anymore. Even if this was a dream - he’d be happy to end it like this. With him rushing in to hug you, no words feeling big enough, good enough, meaningful enough when he could just hug you and hold you. And so he did, your tired but happy humming becoming more musical notes added to the score of his life, proving that this wasn’t the end of your story together after all.

angelina groaned, letting her head fall back so her face was pointed at the sky. with her eyes shut, she inhaled and exhaled once before straightening up again and turning to the closest bystander. “could i borrow your phone?” she asked, holding up her own, which had just run out of battery. “it’s an emergency.”

No personal calamity is so crushing that something true and great can’t be made of it.

I just found a Pennywise p0rn. My life will never be the same after that. I am scarred. At least he wasn't fcking Bev or any of the losers. Thank God.

I’m honestly surprised you haven’t seen it before! There’s some cross over between the 2 sides of the fandom- though not much . But really, the clown fuckers have never bothered me, it’s not my jam but like 🤷

Great storyline @ncis.cbs last week. Wondering if one of the writers is a friend of Bill W.? #billw I loved this character and it broke my heart losing him at the same time Abby left....we invest a lot in these characters especially diehard followers like me. https://www.instagram.com/p/BppQLrSlfE7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t7i26uu6on0f
