inspiration: "you can bet your bottom dollar, in time, you're gonna be mine"

She thought it absolutely absurd. He of all people should know that she could never be bought. Not with her long hair, the spun gold of fairy tales and her eyes, the lost sapphires of kings. And especially not with her surname, the cold emptiness of ancient frozen hearts.

But there was something about the way he walked, his arrogance, his insubordination maybe, that she first noticed. His complete audacity, open hands offering up a velvet box filled with ancient jewels from his own lineage.

No, Narcissa Black could not be bought, but she was naïve enough to confuse beauty and love.

pairing: ron/harry?

inspiration: "and i do believe that i can be a hero. but i'm not so far gone as to believe i can make you fall in love with me"

He knew fame in the true sense of the word. Not from personal experience, not really anyway. He had always been just on the fringes. But, oh, the stories he could tell.

He had always been right there with him, maybe one step behind, but there nonetheless. And if anyone was honest about these things, he would have to get some credit.

Because Ronald Weasley doesn't believe in fate and the thing about coincidences is that he is never in the right place at the right time. It would have been so easy for him to be the one they are all celebrating, he thinks, sipping his drink. But he knows he could never be at the other end of that gaze and for him that would have been enough.

pairing: various

inspiration: "and i wish you could see the scars you've left over the years"
notes: i really like to fuck with them. sorry, guys.

Race smokes cigars and puts them out in his thighs when things get too bad. Skittery knows this but he ignores the marks just like Race ignores the tic-tac-toe of faded lines across Skittery's abdomen.

Mush's bruises don't show that much because of his skin, but he still tries to hide them. It's as if he's ashamed to let Blink see them, even in the dark with Blink's disfigured eye revealed, and the gravel burns still healing on his neck.

David gets the worst of it because he is so fresh and pure. And there is always someone to knock him down to his knees when he thinks he is better than that.

Jack's scars are invisible, but they run deep. In his own way of showing he cares, Spot never asks anything of Jack. And in return, Jack turns his head when he sees his friends led off while Spot counts his money.
