(Halloween) Give me a ship and I’ll tell you who:
- Chooses the pumpkin: Harper insists on doing it every year and ends up hauling home the biggest pumpkin on earth (Costia swears they get bigger every year).
- Carves the pumpkin: Since Harper chose it out, it’s Costia’s responsible– or so the younger of the two says– to do the hard yards.
- Gets scared and clings the other in a haunted house: Definitely Harper, she’s kind of a scaredy cat. She’s very jumpy and clings to the redhead the entire time.
- Matching costume idea: Elsa and Anna (like THIS) or zombie brides.
- Makes a cozy bed-fort to cuddle in: Harper’s loved forts since she was a kid and she’s slowly coaxed Costia into having some sort of appreciation for them (she loves them, she just won’t admit she will) but they mostly make it together.
- Steal’s the other’s candy: Costia, and it’s not even Harper’s candy, it’s “for the children”.
- Accidentally gets lost in a corn maze: Harper– she has a terrible sense of direction and tends to just wander in without paying attention to where she’s going. She’ll pretty much just sit in a corner and wait for Costia to find her.
- Tells spooky stories to scare the other: Costia. Harper’s a scaredy cat so whenever the redhead starts telling her anything remotely spooky, she gets overly scared. Goodbye sleep.
- Collects cool-looking leaves: Harper– “I know we don’t need them but it’s red, like your hair, and I thought it was cool”– but Costia doesn’t really mind. As long as they’re both happy.

[text;; COSTIA]: Hamsters are scary though.

Harper leaned forward, sealing the words as she pressed her lips against Costia’s, hand reaching for the redhead’s. ❝Even I get tingly when I take control like that,❞ she joked, stifling a laugh against the older girl’s lips as she leant in for another gentle kiss.
“Okay but listen– if your team wins, you get to kiss me, right? If my team wins,
I get to kiss you. Does it sound like a deal?” she asks, offering forth her hand
to confirm it. Harper’s not the betting kind but it’s worth it.
harperiings wants to talk
Costia fed more wood into the fire of their camp as she sat on watch, desperate to keep the makeshift camp lit. She could hear Harper gently waking up behind her, and she thought back to the kisses between the two. She couldn’t deny they were nice, a change from the past few years of only being touched when a knife would follow. But she couldn’t help her hesitation.
She had to get to Polis before she did anything else. She had to know if the Ice Queen was lying or not when she told her she killed Lexa. She didn’t want to believe her, but 3 years alone made her doubt a lot of things. So Polis was the highest thing on her list, the most important thing. Before she could recorpirate, she had to know if Lexa was alive.
Harper stirred softly, eyes peeling open against the dawn of the early morning sun, the tiniest tinge of light streaming across the ground around her. Despite that, it was still dark out and danger lurked in the shadows of the night; they could never be too careful, especially in times like those.
“Costia?” the girl choked out, rolling over slightly to make out the figure of the redhead, vision blurred with sleep. “Are you okay?” The older girl was still feeding wood into the fire, letting the heat of the flames radiate across the expense of their small camp. The girl wasn’t even sure she’d seen Costia sleep for days– But still, she couldn’t shake the feeling of rejection that pooled like venom in her belly.
Send me a sentence for my muse’s reaction:
“I don’t actually know–”
( Great. Now you’ve confused her. )
RIDICULOUS STARTERS
Harper folded her arms over her chest, an eyebrow cocked upwards ever so slightly. “‘Accidentally’?” she scoffed. “You pushed me against the wall and gave me a concussion, Costia.” Sure, playing house had sounded like fun, but not when the redhead was gripping her on either side of her body and moving her back as if she weighed nothing; sure, it was attractive to see that side of her but Harper could do without needing to be woken up every hour.
Send me “Just for tonight” for my muse’s reaction to yours asking mine to share a bed with them.
—- “Climb in,” she offered, moving slightly over in her small bed to allow room for the other girl, hand patting down on the blanket. It had been too long since she had had another person in her bed, of course she didn’t mind sharing a bed with Costia. “Besides, I don’t mind the company.” Gets pretty lonely being by yourself all the time.
