I'm Here To Make You Sad - Tumblr Posts

Trauma (and even things we don't think are trauma) does funny things to people.

Like how Darlin' always thinks they have blood running down their neck when they grow their hair out and a loose strand of it glides along their neck in a specific way.

Or how whenever Milo gets out of breath and his heart rate goes through the roof after a run he, even if only for a moment, thinks his core is being torn apart and set on fire again.

Or David's immediate panic and the tears welling up in his eyes whenever something happens on a job, no matter how small, and Asher doesn't immediately get up and crack a joke.

Or whenever Lovely lies down underneath the night sky and sees the clouds pass the moon in that one specific way and how they get that sensation of falling in their chest and for a moment they think they're having a heart attack and are dying.

Or how Freelancer always pauses and almost hides their aura like a stealth whenever they walk into someone else's because even another person's aura in their space feels like bridging sometimes and the feeling alone is enough for them to abandon magical common sense and think that even though it isn't possible, they accidentally let someone bridge with them.
