Me and graviticmelody spent literally all day yesterday discussing a fal.lout:nv verse for her vau.ltdweller siebren so OF COURSE i wanted to make a verse for sigma so that i can match..... so here's Big MT/lobotomite sigma 😋
" what would you ask for, if you knew that the answer would be yes? " ( from uhtred 😌 ) / @uhtr1d
Oh, god, but that’s a dangerous question, and it’s dancing around a truth that he’s kept tight to his chest for years. And he trusts Uhtred, utterly, because of course he does, but how does he even begin ——
You, you, you, is the answer, the real answer, the one that grips his throat and nestles hot and painful in his chest. But: he grins, barely. " Th’ same thing that every man wants, lord. Good ale, a place t’hang my sword, an’, " a little jaunty raise of the brows, a smile haunting, a tap of the table, " someone in my bed. "
It’s a dull answer and he knows it — but it’s safer than the truth and yet isn’t false, either. He wonders, vaguely, if he’s looking for something; instead of saying it aloud, he picks up the flagon of ale at their table and tops off both their cups, even though they’re still half-full. It’s just how he is. " But I’ve got most everything I need, " he adds, a little more freely. " Why, what would Uhtred of Bebbanburg have if he could have anythin’? "
@wolfskrieger liked for a starter ! ( this is the soft one lol )

❝ hey , ❞ she whispers , the dermis between sculpted brows creasing as she lifts her head . ❝ i'm sorry , i didn't mean to wake you . . . ❞ she peppers a couple of featherlight kisses to the chiseled line of his jaw , petite thumb running soft strokes across his chin . ❝ i'm okay , i promise . just can't sleep for shit tonight . ❞ a small shrug punctuates the statement , another quick kiss brushed to his lips this time before the blonde rises to her elbows and glances around . ❝ i was thinking about going out and putting on a movie or something for a little while ; would the sound from that bother you ? ❞
We need to normalize a wider range of pulls for ticket buying problems. This wasn't really Taylor Swift debacle, it was San Diego Comic Con standard operating procedure.
@saltzitivo , full moon shines through open window, casting entire room in a silver glow. though she's not beholden to it's sway, it still has the power to make claws itch, fangs ache to tear into something, anything. new appetite heightens the urge for violent things, and dark magic swirls 'round the creature, casting her in darkened shadows, making every cell vibrate. it's too much to put on one girl, though hope has always put on a brave face. highly attuned hearing picks up gemini witch's heartbeat, gaze shifting to doorway. feigned smile as she tucks auburn locks behind ears. " ... hey, " soft louisiana cadence fills the air between them. " you're a long way from home. "
@gachahell: silence looms over the both of them. the vibrant pink hair that falls in the newest inmate's face identifies her before any paperwork could. baobhan sith, one of the youngest of his sisters— sits before him. she's bound, her arms tightly held behind her back. pale grey eyes stare into wriothesley's own, and she knows him.
" you went up in the world, huh? well, down. " despite her lack of freedom of movement, she still manages to flip her hair back over her shoulder. " this is kind of embarrassing. but knowing it's you down here, you'll totally lessen my sentence, won't you? "
she wants to cry. she wants to reach out and hug her older brother. she wants to beg him for safety and warmth. but that isn't what she's supposed to—— allowed to do. so her words are cold, blatantly manipulative, and filled with venom instead.
It is standard practice that all inmates thought to propose a risk - to others or themselves - upon entering the Fortress must first spend a period of time in isolation until they can be fully assessed. An uncomfortable, yet necessary, practice, the Duke long ago established a protocol where he, personally, would oversee the inmate and their transfer to the secure unit.
So, he is prepared for their newest resident long before she is brought before him. He has studied her arrest warrant already: Tristan Le Fey, wanted for several accounts of manslaughter, a rather notable list of crimes already attached to her name. He is setting the file down when the knock sounds at his door, and his guards bring the prisoner before him.
He is prepared to face a dangerous criminal. He is not prepared to face a ghost from his own past.
A cold fist closes tight around his heart, his throat, and squeezes. She has grown, of course, but little else has changed. A vivid memory lurches to the surface: she's sat on the floor in front of him, her vibrant hair within his hands as he delicately weaves it into braids whilst she regales him with some tale or other. Baobhan.
All at once he is consumed by a myriad of emotions that he struggles to control: grief, for the sister he thought lost; pain, for the memories previously long buried; and a rising sense of fear and panic at the realisation that he can no longer hide from who he was.
"Leave us." He barks to the guards who stand, dutifully, at either side of their prisoner. He sees them glance at one another, uncertain, because by the rules of the Fortress an inmate deemed potentially dangerous must always be accompanied by two or more guards. "That's an order."
There's a brief hesitation before they comply, not wishing to question the orders of their administrator. He is aware of one glancing back at him before slipping out of the office: no doubt the entire prison will be aware of an apparent connection between the Duke and their latest inmate before the day is out. It cannot be helped.
The moment they are alone, his gaze softens, saddens. "Baobhan..." He utters, dropping to one knee before her, their gazes now level. "I thought..." He didn't know which of his siblings had survived until he was in a position to look up his file. He knew there had been testimonies from some of the older children, intended for evidence in his defence, but they hadn't been permitted into the room for the trial, and their names were protected. When he hadn't seen her name amongst those recovered from the scene of the crime, he had made an understandable assumption.
Dead - or worse: sold to an even crueller fate.
He doesn't acknowledge her remarks, the question. All he can focus on is the ice in her tone, the frostiness to her gaze. She had once looked upon him with such love, such affection. She was his little sister, yet now they are no more than strangers. He does not know Tristan Le Fey no more than she knows Wriothesley.

“ Your pain is safe with me and I will stay with you longer than your sorrows if you let me. ” ( uhtred @ finan !! ) / @uhtr1d
" Uhtred, " he says, and it’s soft, it’s quiet, and there’s this — vastness around them. A shared comfort that comes from someone who almost knows him better than he knows himself despite knowing little about who he was, and that going both ways. Their bond goes far beyond friendship. It goes beyond being lovers, and that was before they even were. He doesn’t even know what to call it, but he knows it when he feels it. " I know. "
And it’s not dismissive: it’s gently emphatic, honest, and it comes with a haunt of a smile. He often fights the world with wit — sharp ( sometimes too sharp ), unafraid to goad, taking a certain glee in being a needle under the skin. He fights the world with a fearless strength, a ferocity in a fight, and an unrelenting spirit. He fights the world with a hearty sense of cheer and levity, quick to laugh and tease and try to drag others into it with him.
So rarely does he even allow himself to remember. He couldn’t, not when he was on the ship. Because then, memory was dangerous, because it allowed you despair, and that’s when you died; he was on that ship for so long that walling off everything before just became habit, became natural, became what he had to do to survive, and one doesn’t so easily let go of habits forged by survival.
He’s tired, and he leans against him. Or, at least, that’s what he tells himself — that letting his head loll to rest on his shoulder is just being tired, and isn’t at all about comfort. He’s not a good liar, even to himself. " Besides that, y’already have. Stayed with me longer. The damned fool that lost himself everythin’ died before he even got on that ship. " A finger playfully prods at his ribs. " You gave me hope again, you arsehole. Now yer stuck with me. "
