meditations on the odyssey

Polites died believing that the world is kind, and yet his death contributes to Odysseus deciding to become a monster. Absolutely devastating

Temples are built for gods. Knowing this a farmer builds a small temple to see what kind of god turns up.

my trick for getting through grad school is learning to navigate the quadrants with all their nuances

crying, throwing up, sliding down my the wall dramatically, banging my head on the wall, ripping my hair out, screaming, punching air, rolling in dirt and eating sand angrily because holy damn you haven't seen my man

May I get an angsty but also very very sweet V x Reader oneshot? Like both of them love each other so much but always acknowledging it wouldn't last cause V is literally a serial killer? 👉👈

Ah, a beautiful angst vortex that could swallow us while. Shall we…? ~ DP

V swore he’d never love such a beautiful bird as yourself.

You swore it wouldn’t last, no matter the situation.

Both souls are tethered to the forgotten foundations…

You have been warned… now sit back and relax.

Enjoy.

Oh Gracious Bird.

You stared at V as he came in. His coat, covered in blood and viscera you didn’t need to see OR smell. Copper hung heavy in the air as he slipped the coat off and looked over to greet you.

“Hello Birdie, I hope I wasn’t too long in my endeavors.”

V; ever the kind one, only smiled as he put his coat away and folded his coat to slip into the laundry later ( after a rinse and wash of it ). He immediately sensed you’re uncomfortable aura and frowned slightly as he slid into his spot right next to you.

You shifted a bit away from him, only worrying him even more in the process. Even when you were skittish, you never truly inched away. Possibly even when you needed time alone.

“Are… you alright my dear?”

You jump a bit at his words, looking away with a quiet nod and your arms wrapped around yourself to bring some semblance of comfort… even if it was very little. After all, this was important.

“… You reek of blood.”

“I apologize, I knew I should have gotten changed before I came. I can shower if you’d like…?”

You can feel his gaze on you but you dared not to look back. Only grunting slightly in agreement as you sighed with a shaky breath.

“Why do you do this?”

It reminded V of when you both had made your first call. Those rather tacky responses and his serious questions were amusing to the vigilante’s ears and heart. It made you shake slightly as you faced him properly to search for an answer, something in his eyes.

“Well, you are my partner. I suppose it is only-“

“Why are you still with me? Why do you still keep me knowing that this-“

You pointed to yourself and him in rapid motions, tears pooling I’m your eyes. V was undoubtedly worried now with his deep gaze that shed his full emotional state. Was he… crying?

“This won’t last V. You kill people for fucks sake! I’m just some person who happened to get lost in the crossfire.”

V shifted in his spot, wiping his eyes ( with an odd elegance ) as he looked away to not even face you. He was hurt was all, never mind that he wouldn’t ever show it but… this time was different, wasn’t it?

“I love you. I do, but this is my act alone my dear Bird.”

He looked over at you, his eyes stared deep into yours. It prompted your own tears to fall as well; you did love him, that’s a given. But you didn’t want to get caught in V’s own misdeeds ( even if he deems them justified )… it hurt. Stung. The morbid reality of the situation weighed on his shoulders as he quietly nodded.

“Yet I won’t hurt you. You know this… please, let’s us-“

“Me? What about everyone else? They might be bad people, they might have made mistakes. But I can’t live with the fact knowing that you feed them to animals as if they’re red meat.” You inhale shakily. “I love you too, I really goddamn fucking do. But this has gone too far my sweet…”

“…” V stays silent for a bit, his eyes glossed over as he heard the words leave your mouth…

“I can’t trust that you won’t hurt me.”
