it's always so funny to see when a ship goes from a rarepair to one of the most hyped ships in the fandom lol, cuz I was in the tntduo tag (well, they didn't have a duo name back then) on ao3 when it only had like 20 smth works (and most of them were os collections that didn't even have them in them most of the time, mind you) and then c!wilbur got revived, and boom, suddenly everyone was posting fics abt them lol

Glance, stature, and night for Reed !!
[ oc asks: character design edition ]
glance: At first glance, what stands out most about your OC's appearance? What's their distinguishing feature?
Generally his most noticeable features are his glasses and his nose. His facial scars are pretty noticeable as well, but don't stand out as much as the other two.
stature: What's your OC's body type? How tall are they? Do they wear clothing to accentuate their look or do they try to mask it?
Reed is 5'9"(175cm for y'all non-americans), and overall his body type is in between average and athletic - he's pretty fit and muscular, but he's more on the soft side rather than hard, defined muscle. His body type and weight does vary a bit depending on where he's at in his timeline as well - he's a bit more bulky and has more muscle definition immediately after getting out of the vault(aka very fresh out of the army) and while he's heavily involved in the BOS due to being in a heavily structured military-esque environment, and on the flip side he's a bit leaner after defecting to the Railroad. His typical style is very utilitarian/practical, but he's more likely to go with clothes that are more fitted as long as they're still functional.
night: What does your OC wear to sleep? Do they have a favorite pair of PJs, or are they more the birthday suit type?
I'm just going to be up front about it: his sleep schedule's nonexistent, it's not unheard of for him to unintentionally fall asleep during downtime, and he sleeps in his regular clothes more than he'd care to admit. His preference is usually things like loose shirts and tanks, shorts, etc when he's not being a disaster though.

Dorcas,
Once you find out what is right, you have to fight for it. It is what we do, after all, isn't it? Fighting for the right cause, unaware of what it may bring upon us. We'll keep on fighting no matter what; this is what we do. I wish it will not be what we both think it might be; I am not ready to die, love.
I'm not ready to die. I'm not ready to be buried, to be dead, to be gone. I don't want to be forgotten. That's why I wrote all of these letters, and I will let you find them, and read them, and not forget me.
This letter has been written in May, 1980. Lily is very pregnant, and James is extremely excited to meet their child. They're having a son, did you know that? So, you were right; I thought it would be a daughter. His name is Hari, by the way, and Sirius and I are going to be the godparents. (I just came back from their place (James started crying when he asked us to be the godparents. Sirius said he's being a dramatic tosser), and I am now writing this letter to you.) Don't worry, you and Remus are next. They'd love to have you, if you want to.
I have been thinking, recently. About many things, thinking and overthinking, thinking and rethinking. We don't have much left; whether you want to accept that or not, the fate is not on our side, this time. I love you. Would you want to get married? We could have a little ceremony, and a party. We could finally be united, forever, like we've always dreamed. How's that sound? (No, James is not going to officiate it; he's going to start crying.)
We don't have much time left. Why not make the most of it? Why not do the things we've always wanted to do?
I'll be leaving for the week. Dumbledore's sent me off with Caradoc, said he doesn't trust him anymore. He's shaken, of course, after Benjy's death. Poor bastard needs a break. But the war won't end on its own, and so, he's still fighting. An Achilles of some sort, you know? Fighting to avenge his dead lover. I hope we won't have to do that.
However, I do hope that, when I will come home, you will wait for me, and we will get one more night of love. One mord night before the sun rises, one more night before it all ends.
Feed the dogs for me, please. Don't forget to put the shoes out; Fergie has gotten quite the nasty habit, he's started chewing them. And don't miss me too much; I will be back. I always am.
Marlene ♡
