thinking about how felix's only model for love and relationships has been transactional, and love must be earned. thinking about how of course that means his love language is acts of service. saving someone is the ultimate form of love, though usually he and his family discard people as soon as they mess up. thinking about how he loved oliver enough to try to save him. thinking about how oliver was so sad and scared he thought life without felix in it was better than losing him, only to lose the rest of his life to grief. thinking about how oliver grieved felix for longer than he knew him. thinking about how hard it would be for felix to hear "i just gave you what you wanted like everyone else does everyone puts on a show for felix" but i fully believe his love for ollie would have helped him push through the humilation of being exposed like that. thinking about ollie wanting to be loved and felix thinking that meant saved, as though his love wasn't enough. FELIX NEVER FEELS LIKE JUST LOVE IS ENOUGH AND OLLIE HAS NEVER BEEN LOVED SO PURELY

evermore (feat. bon iver), from evermore・edward morrison
"hey december, guess i'm feeling unmoored. can't remember what i used to fight for... i rewind the tape, but all it does is pause on the very moment i was lost sending signals to be double-crossed. and i was catching my breath, barefoot in the wildest winter, catching my death."
no body no crime (feat. haim), from evermore・greer morrison

forever winter, from red (taylor's version)・nathaniel shaw
