Dead Horse ( Noun Phrase / idiom ) " I can 't beat a dead horse . " The act if wasting time and energy on a hopeless cause. Trying to do something impossible, or to continue discussing an issue that has already been decided, resolved, or is no longer relevant. No one knew Sal was going to kill himself on a random night in April. No one knew he'd even left the house. No one except Joey. She had seen him leave, had spoken to him, had took in, what she knew, were his last words, and it made her feel guilty. More guilty than she had ever felt before. The night replayed in her mind, and it kept replaying and replaying every night she laid in bed and stared at her glow-star ceiling. Joey had promised. She promised him. Just... keep this a secret between you and me. And she did. She hadn't told Ravi, she hadn't told anyone. There was no one to tell anyway, she didn't really have any friends. She drowned her sorrows in alcohol, and weed, drugs in general. She tried to forget how she acted out after he died, she tried to forget Max Hastings, his secrets and her own. The quid pro quo. Joey had almost completely erased it from her mind. She could almost lay in bed and not feel immense guilt and grief. But then Pippa Fitz-Amobi showed up, and the girl was more determined than ever to solve the Andie Bell case. And even more so to change Joey Locksmith for the better. *follows netflix adaption of agggtm* [ pippa fitz-amobi x FEMOC ] season one - complete ! season two - writing...

"Say something awful," Robin murmured. Bellatrix's smile faltered, just slightly... then returned sharper, like the glint of a blade. "I think about you when I kill," she said. "I wonder what face you'd make watching me do it." Robin's breath hitched like she'd been struck. Bellatrix didn't blink, she cocked her head to the side, observing. Before she spoke she let her tongue trace the edge of her teeth, very slowly. "Sometimes I slow down, just for you." A shudder rippled down Robin's spine. And she surged forward.

Professor x Student | WLW Claire Dover (20) is standing at the edge of something she can't name. It began with a single moment, an instinct to reach out, to care, before she even knew who the woman was. Just a stranger in the wrong place at the wrong time. She didn't expect to see her again. She didn't expect that the woman she pulled back from the road would later introduce herself as Professor Hartmann (39). And Lyn? She never meant to care. She is the kind of woman who carries old grief like a folded letter in her coat pocket. But Claire is all sharp glances, quiet presence, and impossible timing. Now, every look, every pause between words, threatens to unravel something they both try to hold together. A slow-burn sapphic love story about restraint, proximity, and all the things we feel before we can name them.

Mice were common creatures inside the homes of District Nine. A constant reminder of their failure during the rebellion. Originally released by their oppressors as a form of biological weapons, it wasn't uncommon to see their descendant's scurrying the dirt streets. When the Capitol learned of them being easily slayed during the war, they modified the failed jabberjays to attack anyone who harmed the disease carriers. A trait that the Mockingjay sadly kept. To this day the people of Nine can't go near a mouse without the birds attacking. As after all... what was a Mockingjay without a Mouse by their side? ༻❁༺ pre hunger games, to mockingjay part two

surefire, "certain to succeed". The last thing Taylor Childress expected from her dad's new job was to be dropped on her aunt's doorstep, relegated to a converted garden shed, and stuck working a barely-paying shift at the brand-new (and already despised) Starcourt Mall cinema. She definitely didn't expect to stumble straight into a Russian conspiracy simmering beneath the food court. And she certainly didn't expect Robin Buckley to be the one person who makes all the danger feel strangely worth it. [robin x oc] [season 3-5] ongoing

A Tangled-esque retelling incorporating a female OC x Cregan Stark. Oc is NOT a self-insert. At 2 , Aelora Velaryon was beloved by all. Including those outside of her own family. The heir to be, a beautiful Velaryon with long, flowing golden hair, she was the light of the court, Rhaenyra's little flower. She had to be, given that Rhaenyra nearly died while pregnant. It was that which made her a prime target for the plot for a rise in rank. A rash, silly thing. A dare more than anything. And yet, Aelora Velaryon finds herself stolen from her cradle on horseback going North with no one but a strange man to provide comfort. Aelora knows nothing of the life she is supposed to have lived. She knows only of her father keeping her safe in her tower and those lights. The lights she has begged to see every nameday since she could remember. Yet her father has kept her in that tower through fear of the unknown, forcing Aelora to see them only from afar. Until one day, that changes. When a lordling from a Northern house is chased into her tower by a group of wildings. Suddenly, that dream doesn't seem so far away. Perhaps Aelora will get everything she ever wanted after all.
