||==SYNOPSIS==||
"I don't lose people, people lose me. Understand this."
= = =
Blake had lived her whole life with the knowledge that when she fell in love she would die. She didn't know exactly how she knew this, but it was true. Every night she dreamed of it, she saw the exact way she would bite the dust and she was glad that it would be with the one she loved most. Their face was a blur, but she knew it was them, whoever they turned out to be.
The dream always came in flashes, but over the years she had pieced it together and she thought, all in all, that the way she would die wasn't a bad way to go. It almost seemed heroic. She was at peace with her fate by the time she was sixteen years old, knowing she at least had a few more years left.
That was when she began writing the letters, each one addressed neatly to the love of her life. She had no way of knowing their name, so she soon took to guessing it, hoping that when she was dead and the person she loved read them they would smile and laugh at it.
She didn't want to leave behind memories that would make them sad. She wanted their last moments to be precious and she wanted the letters to be something they could read over and smile, remembering her strange little habits.
She decided she would tell them all about her life, just incase she never got the chance to when they were together, and so, as the years passed, the shoebox she kept the letters in just got fuller and fuller and her life story became clearer and clearer.
She wasn't even halfway through her memories by the time she met Wanda Maximoff, and by then... it was too late. Her fate began to come true as she slowly fell in love with the girl who would hold her in her arms when she died.
So she decided, instead of writing about her past she would start writing about her present. She would write about how she felt, about the days her and Wanda spent together. She wanted Wanda to know that she loved her and not hear it from the Blake who could only imagine who she was going to fall for.
||==CHARACTER QUOTES==||
"I don't lose people, people lose me. Understand this."➖Blake
"I've made peace with my death, Wanda. Yes, at last I know your name. So, please, when I die, because the only reason you'll be reading this is my death, don't be angry. Don't try to get revenge. Just be happy that we spent this time together and that you were the person I loved above all else.
Goodbye. Blake."➖ the ending of Blake's last letter.
||==PLOT INFORMATION==||
The first thing Blake wrote in her very first letter was 'Dear Love of Mine* (you can change how she begins it, but she doesn't know it's Wanda so she'll start it something like that), whoever you are, whenever you're reading this, I want you to know; I don't lose people, people lose me. Understand this." Because in her first letter she explains to Wanda the one thing she's never told anyone; that she knows why and how she'll die. I want the first letter to be her reassuring Wanda that it's not Wanda's fault that she died, even if it was because Wanda was the person she fell in love with.
Tell this through a series of scenes of them meeting, becoming friends, falling in love, etc. But also have it woven in with after she's died and when Wanda reads the letters. The prologue should be her very first letter. Then, when you get to the actual chapters I want a letter at the beginning of ever one or two, or just the start of a letter and it's describing/talking about a specific time, like when they met. And then the chapter will go into that scene. If you want to change this then you should talk to me, but I just think it gives the book a nice feel to it.
Blake is a little sappy. She has this cliche romanticness about her and she's determined (once she knows that Wanda is who she fell in love with) to never waste a minute of their time together. She does have doubts because she doesn't want to hurt Wanda, but in the end she squashes them and just goes 'to hell with it', it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
Blake has made peace with her death and she's not afraid. She's not even angry anymore. So don't make her start trying to find a way to stay alive or anything like that. She knows it's inevitable and she's okay with that.
How she dies is up to you, but she does it in Wanda's arms. Personally, I favour a bomb going off or something, but I really don't mind.

||==NOTES FROM THE CREATOR==||
This idea has sort of been done before, with the whole 'love interest receives letters after OC is dead' thing, but I just love it so lol.... that's why I made this plot anyway. Plus, Wanda needs some love.
Ask as many questions as you want.
If anyone besides me gives you the plot you probably already know what'll happen. Painful death. Very painful. lol.
