Who is even here?

So I figured that it's Christmas Eve Night, and what better way to celebrate then with a festive meme that's vaguely theme-related?



the KNIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS meme

Your character is now the star of a romance novel.

Post with your characters.

Other people choose their costars. This can be anon if you prefer.

Post against these people.

All prose must be as purple as it is possible to be.

All settings are a sultry jungle or a castle 300 years ago etc etc etc. Bonus points for holiday theme.

Everything is as hideous as possible

When in doubt make it purpler

Think of the face-sucking/wedding/etc memes only 9000% more purple. Romance novel, people. Think romance novel. Her ebony locks and gently shimmering eyes the exact color of the Mediterranean sea on a cloudless summer's day sparkled, etc.

Comments

Wondrous, then.

"You..." Pietro found the words catching in his throat as he locked eyes with Thor, covering the god's hand with his own. "Why?"

They hadn't been teammates for years, and he doubted they'd ever truly been friends, even then. Thor's presence was always imposing, his cape billowing out behind him, stark and intimidating against the visages of their other comrades. Pietro had never honestly considered himself on level with the golden haired god, despite all of his bluster, so why was such attention being paid to him now?

"I..." Thor paused. That Pietro didn't understand was nothing but a minor setback. A setback that felt like icy fingers clutching his heart.

"Pietro," he began again, "I know not why, but this night, something has changed. Can you not feel it? Something...in the air."

The moon rose behind them, and its pure silvery light transformed Pietro into one of Caravaggio's angels, a vision of luminescent perfection out of the darkness. He reached out to touch Pietro's cheek, slowly, as if he might vanish.

More beautiful, you mean. It is a work of art.

It was incredibly difficult not to flinch away from Thor's touch. Something had changed between them, though Pietro wasn't certain quite when it had happened. Suddenly all he wanted was to be swept up into Thor's strong arms and held there, away from their teammates, away from the world, away from anything that would judge or look down upon them. But that was a childish thought. Even if Thor, son of Odin wanted him physically, there would never be that connection between them... Would there?

Still, Pietro felt he body relax after a millisecond, and he leaned into the bigger man's touch. Thor's hands were as rough and calloused as he'd imagined them, so different from those of Crystal, Angelica, or Wanda. He heard, rather than felt himself sigh. "I feel it, Thor. Please..."
