About
"If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more."
"What is grief, if not love persevering?"
"You kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath"
Calling all readers, lovers of poetry and music, screen and stage. Quote collecters and lyric hoarders, unleash your archive. Each prompt must contain a quote - you can combine them, add commentary, link to articles, and more. Steal from a literary classic, or WeVerse drama. Have fun!
Examples
Minghao + Ocean Vuong
The most beautiful part of your body
is where it's headed. & remember,
loneliness is still time spent
with the world.
Ocean Vuong - night sky with exit wounds
Hoshi/Anyone; "Beauty is terror"
Thinking about these two quotes together and the idea of on/off-stage personas:
"Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful we tremble before it. And what could be more terrifying or beautiful, to the Greeks to to our own, than to lose control completely?" - Donna Tartt, the Secret Histories
"I am calm in everyday life but when I put on my in-ear device and step on stage, I can feel the tension and hear the cheers getting louder as the music gets louder. When the staff tells me it's time to step on stage, I feel something boil inside me. I feel it steaming inside and I think I have to give a burst of something, spill what is inside me." - Hoshi in Hit the Road Ep. 04
Any ship; "It's been so many years"
Hello, hello there, is this Martha?
This is old Tom Frost
And I am calling long distance
Don't worry 'bout the cost.
'Cause it's been forty years or more
Now Martha please recall
Meet me out for coffee
Where we'll talk about it all.
Tom Watts - Martha

FILL: water in your hands
Major Tags: N/A
Additional Tags: Second Person POV, smug smug cat wonu
Permission to remix: Yes
***
He's insisting on a string of words being yours, but they don't sound like you and you don't remember.
He’s saying that you admitted to having feelings. For him and said them out loud. He’s saying that you spilled your guts, both figuratively, then literally.
And it might be true, because you didn’t invite him over but why else would he be here?
Like, surely you would know if you confessed your love to someone, to Wonwoo. Surely you would have woken up hungover, dehydrated and embarrassed as all hell. Maybe you would have sworn like a sailor into your morning coffee, scurried back into bed at the memory, and stared at the ceiling were that the case.
You are many things, but you definitely did not fall for his easy charm, the way his nose scrunches when he laughs, the way he has an answer for everything and shares it with you under his breath. His presence is a salve to the hustle of your daily life.
Clearly, you also trust him a little too much.
"Well, you were drunk," Wonwoo insists. His glasses today are transparent, which is silly to consider as a sign for something, but the frame choice feels like a loaded gun.
Once again, you try to worm your way out of the situation with an easy dismissal. You despise drinking with every ounce of yourself, rarely to that level of indulgence. “Are you calling me a lush?” you joke, but the memory does unhaze itself further.
Distantly, you do envision a version of yourself—or someone who looks like you. Who could ever be really certain?—pouring out your innermost feelings while hanging off the handrail while on the subway. How deeply embarrassing for them, whoever they may be.
Yoon Jeonghan, you are an idiot boy.
You let yourself get drunk enough to get vulnerable and share your real feelings, the rookiest of rookie moves.
"You said that I had to carry hyung home and take care of you, because that's what people in love do." Wonwoo stills after completing the sentence, then he smiles because he knows he's got you backed into a corner that you can't sweet talk your way out of, no matter how ferrety you can be.
“But are we, hyung?” he asks, pulling back the hammer. “Are we people in love?” He looks like a cat ready to swallow a mouse, and you, little rodent, aren’t getting out of this.
