Summary
Quentin stares at him, eyes wide. In times like these Quentin is almost stupid enough to believe that Eliot loves him back. ”You don’t mean that,” he scoffs.
“I do,” Eliot’s expression softens. “Getting magic back isn’t worth your life, Q. Not to me. Not to the others.”
“That’s a nice sentiment, El.” He says halfheartedly.
His gaze feels like it’s burning a hole into Quentin. “And if the roles were switched? If it were Alice or me deciding to stay at Blackspire? Would you just accept it?”
“That’s different, Eliot.”
“Is it? How? Explain it to me.”
He paused before responding this time. “It...It just is.”
The knowing look he got in return was enough to make him want to crumble.

Summary
There’s salt water in his lungs. There always is these days. Even when he’s not waking up with his head underwater, the ocean cold against him as each time he struggles more and more to remember why he’s still trying so hard to stay afloat.

Summary
He knows that Tubbo and Ranboo care about him, and it’s something that honestly doesn’t feel real most days after going so long convinced that no one did. He loves them and he hates that they love him back, he despises himself because somehow that’s still not enough for him. He despises himself because he still feels dead, he still feels cold and no warm smiles or caring gestures seem to be able to thaw that ice.
He despises himself because he has two friends that actually care and yet there’s still a part of him that just wants his older brother.

or: tommy is revived and has an awful time, wilbur is revived and makes everything worse, and tubbo & ranboo try to be there for their friend -

Summary
Agnes Montague was no stranger to feeding off of pain. It was what she was created to do after all, what she had been told her entire life was her only purpose. She was meant to destroy, to burn, to take, anything to feed her god. She was supposed to love it, and the overwhelming part of her did. Always strong enough to push the parts of her that didn’t back into line at least.

Summary
There is something festering inside Tommy.
It felt like it was constantly growing, like his organs were being replaced or he was being eaten alive—not that he knew of the feeling—But there was no way he could properly describe it without sounding like a lunatic. He didn’t need to be called crazy by everyone. Hey! I think I’m turning into a FUCKING tree!
OR, Tommy struggling to cope with nature festering inside his body, hiding it from everyone until it becomes too much for him to bear.
Something about past, memories, grief, moving on, and love despite everything.

Summary
“Every museum needs a main display,” Dream explains carefully. “The crown jewels, if you will.” And his eyes are back on Tommy, piercing somehow, despite the mask– “Something important, something irreplaceable."
His free hand shoots out, landing on Tommy’s arm, and Tommy flinches back. A startled cry gets lost in Tubbo’s throat, but Dream only drags Tommy forward, grip unrelenting despite the way that Tommy tries to pull away, looking like he’s trying to detach himself from his skin, heels dragging the floor, wings flapping in protest, muscles straining, feathers wild–
And in a fleeting moment of clarity that cuts through the panic, suddenly Tubbo is able to recognize the contraption across the room, above their heads, what it resembles.
Iron pins embedded into the wall the way you would display a hunting trophy, irons pins arranged like--
Like a butterfly board.
Or, if the final confrontation had ended differently.

the eyes outlast the tears by cervidear
Fandom Minecraft (Video Game), Video Blogging RPF
23 Jun 2021
Summary
"Eyes that last I saw in tears
Through division
Here in death's dream kingdom
The golden vision reappears
I see the eyes but not the tears
This is my affliction.
...
Where, as in this
The eyes outlast a little while
A little while outlast the tears
And hold us in derision."
-T.S. Eliot, "Eyes That Last I Saw In Tears"----------------------------------
It starts with the ruining of Tommy. (Coincidentally, this is also the death of Dream.)
Somehow, it ends with the healing.
