[ You know, using it clear away dust isn't a completely ridiculous idea when talking about Sherlock Holmes, so John actually laughs. ]
Sure, we get on each other's nerves all the time. I'm not sure who gets annoyed most often, though. Might be me.
[ Because while Sherlock is often annoyed, John's gathered that it's more from frustration about circumstances than anger at anyone in particular. Unfortunately, Sherlock's annoyance tends to poison everything and everyone around him. Or maybe that's the case for both of them. Might just be a human thing in general. ]
[She says, trying to keep the anger out of her voice but probably failing. It's not like she thinks very highly of any of Gotham's villains but at least with most of them you could say that they aren't afraid to get their hands dirty, but not Crane. He was content to use Jason to do his dirty work and something about that, the emotional manipulation of it is so cowardly that it makes her warriors heart angry.]
His words hit her like a punch to the gut because they are so honest and raw, she can almost feel his desire radiating out at her like a high fever. She should stop this, stop touching him and asking him semi leading questions, it's cruel and she should know better. She's the adult in this situation. And yet she would be lying if she said she wasn't curious, he's a good looking young man and it's been a while since she's seen such hunger in someone's eyes for her. It's flattering, alluring and oh so very tempting...]
Can I touch yours?
[She asks, her eyes flickering across his face and up to his wild curls.]
[ they are honest words, and very raw. all of his insides feel that way right now and it's hard, because as much as he doesn't think she means any of it, it feels like she's encouraging it, and he's not really sure what to do.
he knows what he wants, but it's nowhere near his place.
his gaze darts back to her face when she asks if she can touch his... his hair. his hair. he should say no, but instead he nods, because he's aching to feel her hands on him some more. the soft touch to his hand, her fingers in his hair. she's so perfect in so many ways, how could he not want it. ]
It takes place in 1815 France and is about a man who is wrongfully imprisoned, escapes from jail, acquires a fortune, and sets about exacting revenge on those responsible for his imprisonment.
[She explains.]
It's mostly an action story with lots of suspense and drama.
[He doesn't really have to tell her to pack light, she's never been the type of woman who needs to bring seven hundred pairs of shoes for one weekend, she's usually happy in just a pair of ballet flats, tights and a big cozy shirt. Which is exactly what she packs after she's done shopping, along with some toiletries and a little surprise for Tony and when he arrives he'll find her waiting with just one small bag slung over her shoulder.]
It's appreciated and very sweet but technically speaking, no it's not enough to survive on. Which is why you should come to the market with me this Saturday morning.
[She can feel him tense up at first when her hand grasps the back of his neck but slowly he relaxes a bit and when that happens her hand starts to move up and down softly, stroking the nape of his neck. Soothing him.]
I know it seems like that but you don't see what I do. You're looking at yourself from inside your own head where everything seems like an absolute ruddy mess, but you have to remember that one: you've already gotten some of your shit together compared to say, three years ago. And two: Almost no one, ever, has their shit together entirely. If they did then there wouldn't be so many therapists in business.
[ he still can't look at her, but at least he isn't yanking himself away dramatically, which is all he's felt like he could do till now.
he hates how placating his head wants to tell him this is, but she speaks right to that head of his.
three years ago. seems so long ago now. he was out on the street. shelter to the street, to the run down roof over his head for the night. eating out of dumpsters and fighting with the cops tooth and nail....]
...it wasn't so bad back then, I always used to tell myself. A bullshit billionaire shouldn't have meant so much, but it did. And it wasn't even the money. It was never about the money for me. It was about everything else.
Everything else my parents couldn't give me. wouldn't help me with. but it still hurts, remembering her, and the way I knows she must have loved me at first, and how much she tried, I tried to take care of her when my dad was gone and she was doing anything she could to get one fix after another. I remember hiding in the closet when she died. Ten years ago. Ten years ago today. They didn't even know I was there.
[he doesn't realize when his thoughts start streaming out of him into words, and the tears run down his face in a way he never wants to be. open, raw, all of it spilling right out of him in the worst kind of way. ]
I'm hearing you but Dick, I honestly don't understand why you're getting so worked up about me getting mildly injured. I didn't call for backup because I knew I could handle it, yes I got slashed but it's not that bad. It doesn't even need stitches.
[She says patiently and reaches out to take one of his hands in hers, looking at him with soft eyes.]
I appreciate the concern and the help patching it up. I really do.
Maybe you could mention to him that you think he's been doing a good job lately, that might go a long way into making him feel more comfortable. After all, everyone likes to a compliment from time to time. Even you. ;)
I don't really work with them anymore, after what happened in Gotham I've been working solo.
That depends on your definition of 'clean'. I was thinking we should try and find a vet this week to take this little guy to, that scratch on his back leg is looking better but I'm still worried.
There is a haunting quality to it that I enjoy. Thank you for sharing.
Some people have created their own endings to the piece over the years. It's an interesting conceit, even if leaving it unfinished was not intentional. To begin something and offer it up for others to take in what direction they choose.

[He doesn't really have to tell her to pack light, she's never been the type of woman who needs to bring seven hundred pairs of shoes for one weekend, she's usually happy in just a pair of ballet flats, tights and a big cozy shirt. Which is exactly what she packs after she's done shopping, along with some toiletries and a little surprise for Tony and when he arrives he'll find her waiting with just one small bag slung over her shoulder.]
Hi.
for @hottestofmesses
Date: 2022-07-05 03:09 am (UTC)It's appreciated and very sweet but technically speaking, no it's not enough to survive on.
Which is why you should come to the market with me this Saturday morning.

I know it seems like that but you don't see what I do. You're looking at yourself from inside your own head where everything seems like an absolute ruddy mess, but you have to remember that one: you've already gotten some of your shit together compared to say, three years ago.
And two:
Almost no one, ever, has their shit together entirely. If they did then there wouldn't be so many therapists in business.
ahaha you're always coming through
Date: 2022-07-18 06:05 am (UTC)he hates how placating his head wants to tell him this is, but she speaks right to that head of his.
three years ago. seems so long ago now. he was out on the street. shelter to the street, to the run down roof over his head for the night. eating out of dumpsters and fighting with the cops tooth and nail....]
...it wasn't so bad back then, I always used to tell myself. A bullshit billionaire shouldn't have meant so much, but it did. And it wasn't even the money. It was never about the money for me. It was about everything else.
Everything else my parents couldn't give me. wouldn't help me with. but it still hurts, remembering her, and the way I knows she must have loved me at first, and how much she tried, I tried to take care of her when my dad was gone and she was doing anything she could to get one fix after another. I remember hiding in the closet when she died. Ten years ago. Ten years ago today. They didn't even know I was there.
[he doesn't realize when his thoughts start streaming out of him into words, and the tears run down his face in a way he never wants to be. open, raw, all of it spilling right out of him in the worst kind of way. ]
You just caught me as I was on my actual computer and not my phone XD

[She says patiently and reaches out to take one of his hands in hers, looking at him with soft eyes.]
I appreciate the concern and the help patching it up. I really do.

Date: 2022-09-03 04:50 pm (UTC)Maybe you could mention to him that you think he's been doing a good job lately, that might go a long way into making him feel more comfortable. After all, everyone likes to a compliment from time to time. Even you. ;)
I don't really work with them anymore, after what happened in Gotham I've been working solo.
TY for the move. <3
Date: 2022-09-03 05:29 pm (UTC)It isn't an excuse, but how he came to be my raven was quite unusual. That has set us off on a different foot than my other ones.
Do you miss it, or has this time spent solo been fulfilling in its own way?
Anytime ;)

I was thinking we should try and find a vet this week to take this little guy to, that scratch on his back leg is looking better but I'm still worried.

Date: 2022-09-25 12:35 am (UTC)I find that there's something very powerful about it, lots of good beats to hit specific dance moves to.
We don't have to just share dance songs, I'd love to hear any type of music that you enjoy.
[She listens to the violin piece twice before replying.]
That was beautiful, and somehow in this instance I feel like it being unfinished and open ended actually says something more than if it was done.
no subject
Date: 2022-09-25 02:45 pm (UTC)Some people have created their own endings to the piece over the years. It's an interesting conceit, even if leaving it unfinished was not intentional. To begin something and offer it up for others to take in what direction they choose.
