michaelarden: Two years ago today I married the man of my dreams. I sometimes wake up before he does in the morning and feel overwhelmed with how lucky and grateful I am that we found each other in this space and time. A tinge of sadness often comes knowing that with each day our time on this earth together grows shorter. To love someone, I think, is to admit to our own fragile and fleeting mortality. And yet, we must love. I am so proud to walk through this world with him. He teaches me, inspires me, drives me insane and challenges me to not only live but to thrive. I can’t wait to see what trouble we get ourselves in next. Happy Anniversary @andymientus

Reasons (Not) to Fall in Love

ao3feed-springawakening:

Ernst, when looking back, thinks he fell in love so slowly that he didn’t realize he had until he couldn’t pull himself out. It was probably best that way, so that he didn’t overthink it. Maybe that love had doomed him but he thinks it had also been worth it.

It started with Hanschen taking the seat behind him in their shared literature class and asked him his opinion on the Greek epic they had annotated the night before.

“Achilles, hero or savage?” he had asked. “Were his motives pure or vengeful? I’m curious as to your opinion, I myself thought him quite the avenging angel of his lover.”

“Briseis?” Ernst asked, confused.

Hanschen had only laughed and said, “Patroclus.”

I know we all love the hand clench bc it’s perfect but can we also talk about the eyelash flutters when she grabs/kisses his hands????? It’s like he can’t believe his eyes and he’s trying to make sure it’s real- I just- it’s too much
