spoilers and nsfw possible, will mark in tls.


wip list of tropes and stuff i pretty much always want to play:

• lotus-eater situation, aka "you're living your perfect life and don't realize it's killing you!"
• pining! you know the hand flex gif from p&p? of course you do
• vampires...
• misunderstandings between people who have feelings for each other, i.e. thinking one of them is interested in someone else and it comes to a head in heated admissions of Feelings
• slow burn over a psl
• ALL the h/c, whether one or two-sided
• fwiw some of my favorite bstreet memes are morning after, train to the afterlife, drunk meme, find them dying, and insomnia
• text is always going to be a yes from me dawg
• classics: only one bed, huddle for warmth
• amnesia???

[ That manages to catch her by surprise. Maelle turns to the man with a look that shows as much, brows lifted.

Somehow, she's never been accused of that before, and so she chews on it slowly, frowning. Cares too much...about the expedition? About getting out of Lumiére? Neither of those feel quite right, or...maybe they're both true. ]

...I'm glad to have them. [ She says eventually, looking across the ship. ] They're good people.

[ The man she cherishes most has just emerged from his impromptu strategic session, eyes training on her immediately, then snapping to the old man at her side. And because Gustave wastes no time in hurrying toward them, Maelle sighs and tilts her head toward Renoir. ]

Even if some of them worry too much. [ Comes the fond, if teasing remark. Before her guardian can join them, she takes a few steps in his direction, arms behind her back. ] ...I guess we'll...talk again sometime, I'm sure. Whenever we land, or something.

[ Not that she knows where they're headed, given she'd been socializing with the stranger all this time. But Maelle has no doubt she'll have more questions for him, and that he'll have stories for her in return.

Assuming Alan doesn't lock him up. ]
