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

The first night Wonwoo comes to you, you don’t bother asking why.
No were you in the neighborhood, no did you miss hyung that much. No whose blood are you wearing.
He shows up at your officetel battered and bruised from something you'll coax out of him tomorrow—spiderweb lacerations all down his arms; an angry, dark gash along his jawline that you press your fingers against until his eyes go wide, until he grits his teeth. The way his breathing whistles tells you there's at least one cracked rib.
You see all of this, and remember Jihoon's steady instructions; his calm, professional tone. The things he's taught you about fixing someone when they need it.
But you’ve sworn you’ll never do anything Jihoon tells you to do.
There’s nothing in your medicine cabinet but cobwebs and an expired bottle of pills, anyway.
Dirty mouth, dirty nails, his skin is inch for inch the ghastly pale of a near-dead thing. You can’t help him—but help isn't what he's asking for. There’s a reason, after all, that Wonwoo is here instead of with Jihoon.
Some people are just better at causing pain than healing it, and some people don’t need to be healed no matter how damaged they look. He has no illusions about what hands like yours are capable of.
This is what you, and only you, can do: you can take his arm and hold it above your kitchen sink, empty the contents of an old bottle of vodka over it to hear the way his breath hisses through his teeth again and again as it burns the rawness of his flesh. You can turn his knobbly hand over in yours and duck your head (watching, always watching, how his eyes darken), lick the inside of his wrist where it drips into the drain, salt and iron and alcohol in your mouth and nothing, nothing sweet about it at all—and he might be a long way from home but when you do this, you can taste the city on him.
Jeonghan-hyung, he sighs later, when you take him to bed. Not gently, not kindly, but this is what he wants. This is what he needs. Light pollution filters through the slatted window, drawing prison bars over your tangled forms.
Shh, you whisper, smile so full of teeth. I've got you.
