I’m going to put you on your knees. You’re going to hate how much you love it.
Beneath the fluorescent embrace of Selene's gaze, her alabaster feet tread a path, an exquisite amalgam of fierce motion and sylphlike glide upon the plush garnet carpet that ornaments the rustic oaken floorboards. Auburn tresses, reminiscent of autumn's elegance, cascade in a fluid, undulating veil behind her, delineating the enchanting contour of her progression—a silhouette ensconced amidst chiaroscuro whispers and the opalescent brilliance that filters through the manorial windows, gracefully veiled by gossamer curtains, further accentuating her preternatural presence. Elegantly attired in a roseate nightgown, handmade from the most exquisite silk. It flutters like a delicate wraith behind her, its textile intimately embracing her physique, emphasizing the curvature of her limbs, her ample décolletage, invoking an aura of sensuality both innate and ineffable.
She advances, emulating the splendor of a primordial nymph, a saunter that encapsulates her within the infernal universe he has diligently orchestrated—a Persephone, sovereign of their nocturnal kingdom, a realm now under his dominion. A vampire princess, consort, upon whom a nascent epoch is poised, she personifies not only her chosen path but also the fate of the one whose desire for her knows no bounds. To the observants, she is the quintessence of feminine appeal and suppleness, an icon of disdain and admiration. Her magnanimity knows no limits, extending even to those deemed unworthy of her regard.
As Inoue approaches the throne room, her delicate palms engage the barriers, parting them with a poise that belies the profound strength within. "Have you summoned me, my beloved Lord?" Intones, her voice a serene consonance that permeates the majestic expanse, as she traverses. She advances toward the throne, where he presides, an obelisk of calm and majesty. Her gaze intersects with Astarion's, offering a bow, a pledge of obedience and esteem. His response, a sonorous timbre both grandiose and ardent, urges her to elevate her exquisite countenance. A gentle smile expands upon her margins as she rises once more, her demeanor unshaken. "As many times as you wish. I’m here to serve you, to please you, to make you delighted." Utters. With an effortless movement, her digits meander to the embroidery that secures her satin vestment, allowing it to descend in a smooth cascade to the floor, her form denuded before his covetous, crimson look.
@estarion - ASCENDED

i think my favourite little horrible (positive) callback in the Generations trilogy is where Drizzt tries to insist that Zaknafein was at peace when he was dead an he was Fine and Okay and you CAME TO ME IN A DREAM AND YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE FINE which is a reference to him having a dream after he rescues Wulfgar from Errtu about his dad, and his repeated ‘i’m really trying to convince myself despite not knowing anything’ litanies of how Zak definitely went to a good place and was at peace after he died because his death has to mean SOMETHING, right, he earned SOMETHING, right,
and Zaknafein’s answer is “I literally don’t remember that. I don’t remember anything. It was just darkness.”
And on one hand I genuinely think Zaknafein getting to Stop Thinking for like a century and it being like no time passed at all, he just went into stasis, was the kindest thing any kind of god or afterlife could have done for him but it also just, doesn’t comfort Drizzt at all. And it’s a really subtle but very interesting underlining of how, even in these basic survival impulses, Drizzt and Zak diverged hard and are sort of mutually ???? about it.

@madefate asked: ❛ promise me you’ll still be here when i wake up. ❜ / baby Charlie @ Lucifer you’re welcome
an assortment of dialogue prompts // accepting
He and Charlie had spent the whole day together, something that made Lucifer's whole month. It was remarkable, how much different he was around his daughter; she just made him so happy, and he wanted to do everything he could to make sure she had a good time with him, that she wanted to spend time with him as much as he did with her. He would happily chew on glass if that's what she said she wanted.
Charlie had wanted him to tell her stories about what it had been like, in The Beginning. And even though that time held a lot of …. conflicting feelings for him, he looked down at her wide-eyed little face and couldn't bring himself to tell her no.
They'd sat together as he wove words and pictures together, telling her about the first stars he'd ever made, about how he'd built them so they'd be able to make new stars when the old ones died, about the animals he'd created, how much he'd enjoyed just building things, whether that was something complex like a constellation or as simple as an earthworm.
With her rapt attention on him, Lucifer would have kept telling her stories, about anything and everything, until she decided she didn't want to hear them any longer when he noticed her eyes closing for longer periods of time. She blinked, trying to stay awake, and he realized that it was, in fact, bedtime.
He scooped her up and took her off to her bedroom, getting her all ready and tucked into bed.
❛ promise me you’ll still be here when i wake up. ❜ she said, her words sleepy and running together.
Lucifer smiled down at his daughter, his heart fuller than it ever had been; he loved her so much. He smoothed her hair out of her face, and bent to press a kiss to her forehead.
"I promise," he murmured. "Now get some sleep, duckling. It's past your bedtime."

or can you make sewis toxic
the gc said what if seb n lewis were teammates at merc during baku 2017 earlier today and my brain is fucking melted and this came out. what if lewis went to ferrari after 2016. what if baku happened while they’re were both in the title fight for a wdc with ferrari and make it be the worst possible scenario. what then
“I’m not very nice today,” Sebastian laughs, titling back in his chair, smile bright and toothy, red shirt loose and too big along his shoulders. His fingers are ringless, tapping away on the arm of his chair, no bracelets either excerpt for a thin material one, faded blue, and a thick sensible watch. “Sorry.”
He doesn’t sound sorry but then again, Sebastian never does. Lewis only shrugs, letting his eyes soften, reaching over to bump Sebastian’s chest with his closed fist, light and easy. Mattia is peering over the file in his hand from across the room. “It’s alright, man. Losing can be difficult to swallow.”
Sebastian is far too good at his job to glare at Lewis. His smile simply widens, chin tilting down so he can glance up through his lashes. “You’d know all about that, wouldn’t you?”
Lewis laughs, stretching his legs out in front of him, feet crossed at the ankles, until his back clicks quietly. “I would,” Lewis says and the helmet painted in Lewis’s colours on the shelf behind Mattia holds the exact same number of stars, one grey, two silver, one red, as Sebastian has titles. You’re not special, Lewis thinks. Not to me. I see you. I know you as a racer. As a human being. I. See. You.
I’m not Mark Webber, Lewis had said to him, last year after they had handed him the trophey and he’d become the first Ferrari world champion since Kimi. Sebastian had only laughed, furious and spitting and grinning, no?
Nah, Lewis had leaned in close, smelling his sweat and champagne and the race track that always seems to cling to Sebastian. I’ve beat you in your own team, haven’t I?
That hadn’t wiped the smile off of Sebastian’s face, nothing had that year, not once he started losing and never stopped, but something in his eyes had flickered, got you, and he had said, they aren’t my team, like it was awful and terrible and the worst thing he could think of. He didn’t say they’re yours because apart from the very few times Sebastian very distinctly is, he generally isn’t much of a liar.
Lewis had known him a long time at this point, as a friend and stranger and colleague and rival and teammate and ally and rival, and had just shrugged. Yeah, they are, man. They’re Ferrari, they’ll never be mine. And they’ve got to be someone’s — too needy not to be.
Then why are you here. It was the first time since Lewis signed the contract on the heels of 2016 that he saw Sebastian desperate and it was even partly real. Maybe I just want to win with every team, Lewis had watched Sebastian’s fingers pull at the sleeves of his race suit, the material damp and thick. That’s what the papers are saying, anyway, so it must be true.
Sebastian hadn’t said anything to that, jaw still set and tight, knuckles white where he had twisted them into the material. Lewis could’ve forgiven him for choosing Nico over him, or at least, not choosing Lewis. Could’ve and did. He was even able to forgive him for not saying anything when the shit stupid jokes came back after he signed and the Tifosi lost their shit, bouncing back and forth between ecstasy over getting Lewis Hamilton in Ferrari, stealing him from Mercedes as if Lewis hadn’t walked away on his own two feet, and the horror of having a black driver in their beloved team.
What he is not able to let go, and probably couldn’t even if he tried, is Sebastian not taking back what he said after Baku, never telling anyone that he was wrong, even after the FIA of all people stood in Lewis’s corner. It wouldn’t have hurt so much except —
Well, Lewis had thought, hadn’t he, and —
— it didn’t matter. Not in the end.
Sometimes, Lewis looks at Sebastian, beside him on the podium, across a team briefing, staring in front of him, behind, right there, and he hates him. He’s pretty sure that they could’ve, maybe, possibly, been something.
Sometimes, he even catches Sebastian staring back but for all that he swans around, all open palms and look here, look, look, I’ve got nothing to hide, I swear, he can be so very difficult to read. And it’s been a over a year since Lewis has trusted himself around the other man.
