    Summary

    Strong arms pull her away, condemning her thrashing and sobbing. They pull her far away, although it feels like she's right next to him still. A gruff voice tells her that it will be dealt with. She doesn't want it to be dealt with. She doesn't want him to be dealt with, because there should be nothing to deal with. The voice says nothing. 

    But she breathes. She inhales into a palm pushing a mask into her face. Somehow, she takes another breath, then another, and she shakes from almost knocking herself out. It's more than the oxygen she needed.

    "Why am I wallowing in you?
    Why are familiar arms so comforting?
    This thing called love is so bitter
    and cheap gin is so tasteless, why?"

    "Why am I addicted to poison?
    Why are new embraces so exciting?
    Cheap gin is so bitter
    and love is tasteless, why?"
    - BIBI

    or: sabine experiences all stages of grief at once, waking up to graphic nightmares every night of the death of her lover. there is someone special there to help her through it, familiar arms to comfort her. [why we fight cinematic]

    Summary

    To Kaveh, Alhaitham is just a brutally honest loner of a genius. To Alhaitham, Kaveh is a bumbling, frivolous, art-obsessed idiot. But, when their worlds collide in an unforgettable way, their lives become intertwined so deeply to the point where becoming untangled is out of the question. Or possibly… outside the realm of their desires.

    –or–

    Kaveh and Alhaitham gradually realize that their presences in each other’s lives aren’t as painful as either of them initially imagined. Within a college setting, of course.

    Summary

    *Mature rating is for explicit self-harm

    -----------------

    Solace can be brought to life by the mere existence of an object or concept, but can also bloom in the very middle of a garden, and as snowflakes slowly fall down, this premonitory sign might as well signify the end of Kaveh’s very existence and the destruction of what he never wishes to lose.

    But sometimes, when the night sets down and Kaveh dreams of his perfection, he forgets about the winter.

    And sometimes, just sometimes, when he’s in his garden, he forgets about the snow piling up around him.
