29. ] sender wakes receiver in the throes of a nightmare, reassuring them, "it's okay, it's not real." @bruz3r
she breathes in dust, knees coated in bloody sand. gunfire cracks the sky open with fury, heart slamming against her ribs like it was trying to escape. the heat was suffocating; smoke, cordite, and burnt flesh filled her nostrils, coated her tongue until she gagged. hands everywhere all at once, fumbling for the medpack, pressing down on the shredded mess of a man’s open chest, shouting over the gunfire. stay with me, godamnit — desperate plea to gods that never listen. her voice cracked from the particles of caught debris and screaming for too long.
he was younger than he should’ve been. barely twenty. his mouth moved like he was trying to say something, but only blood bubbled out, fear wide in the glow of youthful green eyes. there wasn’t enough gauze in the world to hold him together. didn’t matter. she kept working. kept fighting. because if she stopped, it was real. there's a distant echo, a hollow sound overhead but she didn’t hear it. didn’t hear anything except the ringing in her ears, the desperate rush of her hands trying to clamp a mortal wound closed. trying to will a shattered body back to life. her hands slipped and his body jolted once and then went still. — no. no no no breathe for me, breathe kid, common! she beat on his chest, hands trembling, blind with panic as the shadow of death mocks her from the corner of the battlefield.
she hears it again.
distant sound gaining rhythm between ichor and carnage. someone grabbed her wrists, firm but not cruel. honey eyes wild and far from the present, her head snaps like the coil of a venomous snake. gloria's mouth twists into a broken scream from the depths of something animalistic inside her bones.
it's okay, it's not real...it's okay, it's not real. but it had been.
she pushed. reared back and slithered from the most gentle grasp. adrenaline still flooding her veins, muscles seized up, heart hammering. it took her longer than she wanted to realize she wasn’t wearing flak. no helmet. no rifle. no medkit. just sweat-soaked skin and the terrible ache of coming back to herself. back pressed against the wall, staring at the doorframe as though the front would materialize in front of her. ❛ did i hurt you? ❜ frantic, feral beat of war, placing a whole field between them with her palms up. ❛ i don't want to hurt you. ❜
❛ all due respect sir, it's how i was trained. you mess up. you get made fun of. ❜

Hello, consider this my dynamics, mains, affiliate and all that fun stuff call. there’s a couple shippy things I have brewing in my head but they’re not mandatory and she could use other dynamics as well.
85﹕ brock grabs gloria roughly by the hair . @rejectory
his fingers curled in her hair, sharp and punishing, tilting her head back with a force that dared her to push back. the pain flared in her scalp, she inhaled slow and deep, a ritual of the agony she graves. gloria held his gaze, unblinking, unmoved. breath hitched in her throat, not from fear but fury, caged and coiled like a venomous serpent waiting for its moment.
she smiles, but it's all teeth. all sickness and hunger. that familiar rot curled beneath her skin whenever he got too close. her hand snaps, pressing a thumb just under his jaw. the button to remind that she could drop him if she wanted to— if she needed to. pressure-honed and sadistic against the artery's pulse. ❛ what's it going to be, rumlow? ❜ a laugh slithers up her throat. all that violence she tries to forget, tries to hide under florals and martyrdom, breathes like a second pair of lungs.
❛ we fighting or fucking? ❜
I think as a whole, men should be consumed with more longing. they should feel the suffocating consequences of inaction. they should pine and flex their hands more, they should look like they’re holding up the tide of unfathomable agony just being close to their beloved and not being able to touch them. they should fuck like it’s their first and last time ever getting the chance to touch them.
❛ we're not going to fight her, she's the devil. and you don't dance with the devil cause you get burned. also in her case, because she has no rhythm and her hands are like little rat claws. ❜
