Cordelia X James - Tumblr Posts

Before you Go by Lewis Capaldi is the soundtrack of the train station scene in COI. James’ POV, to both Matthew and Cordelia.

Here are the best bits:

‘Cause now that they’re gone

All I hear are the words that I needed to say

(…)

So, before you go

Was there something I could’ve said

To make your heart feel better?

If only I’d known you had a storm to weather.

So, before you go

Was there something I could’ve said

To make it all stop hurting?

It kills me how your mind can make you feel so worthless

So, before you go

(…)

Our every moment I start to replay

But all I can think about is seeing that look on your face

(…)

So, before you go

Would we be better off by now

If I’d let my walls come down?

Maybe I guess we’ll never know

(…)

James & Cordelia

~

You shift in and out of focus.

When I catch your gaze across the night there is only streaks of gold.

Your breath a blur against my skin.

Your love a shadow.

~

I see you clearest in dreams,

In a feild of daisies.

There is a cliff,

But you hold on.

You hold on.

For some part of you trusts,

That I am coming for you.

You trust

That I

Am coming

For you.

And I do.

I am falling through the layers of the universe.

I am facing the possibility of the person I could become.

He does not look like he remembers you.

And this scares me most.

So I grip the hilt of my sacrifice

And shatter the mirror.

I am wounded a million time over with the flying shrapnel consequences.

There is darkness.

But I hold on.

I hold on.

For some part of me trusts,

That you are coming for me

That you

Are coming

For me.

And you do.

~

I left you stranded on a dance floor once,

Amongst a sea of spinning laughter.

I don't remember why I did that.

I don't remember what your face looked like when I turned away from you.

I remember...

You

My hands ghosting along your waist.

Phatom pain when we were palm to palm.

Your softly blooming joy.

Your wilting smile.

It haunts me still.

I don't remember why I did it, now.

But I would finish the waltz with you

If I could.

I would give you as many dances as you cared for.

If you would take my hand for them.

If you might trust me long enough,

To lead you through the steps again.

I promise,

I will not let you fall

Without catching you

This time.

~

I held all of you in my arms once,

Only to let you go.

I don't remember why I did that.

I don't remember how the walls were not engulfed by the flames consuming us.

I remember...

You

Dawn spilling from your edges as you overflowed.

Beads of light brimming where the stitches of us tore.

I remember...

Burning

Not minding if I turned to ash in your palms.

Smoked filled senses with nothing but you.

Your skin a wildfire.

You dance a story that flickers in your eyes like flame when you looked at me.

What I would give for you to tell me a tale again.

For your voice rustling my eyelashes.

~

When I read,

I catch the brush of your hair

In the flutter of every turning page.

I see you,

In the glimmer of light,

That catches on a drawn sword

In the sunset of battle.

I do not know why loving you is so easy

Excerpts from a James and Cordelia poem that has been sitting in my drafts for a while, thought I would share some parts before Chain of Iron comes out :))

text made up by me

“My heart will always be loyal to you.”

“Even if your love is not true for me”

I know that they’re going to be married for a ‘strange reason’.

I don’t know how I came up with the text.

But here is my first Cordelia x James edit.

And question: How are we gonna call this ship?

I have options like:

1.Cordames

2.Carondale

3.Jardelia

I ship this! Repost if you ship this also!

Repost if you ship Jordelia! Create the hashtag!!

I JUST FINISHED CHAIN OF THORNS AND OMFG GUYS I CANT.

anyways here’s the merry thieves as marauders (or the other way round idk)

Thomas -> James

Matthew -> Sirius

James -> Remus

Christopher -> Peter

And as an added bonus, the love of my life, Alastair would be the other love of my life, Regulus.

(I REALLY wanted James herondale to be James potter for the lolz but they’re just don’t give off similar vibes in my humble opinion)
