“I wanted to see you.”

I caught the briefest glimpse of surprise before his face shuttered again. “There are two thrones on that dais. You could see me any time you liked.”

[kicks down your door] guess who is EXCITED to finally be vidding with ben and jessie?! ME. /huge/ shout-out to MedicineForNormality for helping me out. you're an abosolute lifesaver and this is for you. thank you for allowing me to fulfill my dream of doing a proper modern au for them.

you can check out her channel here & all her amazing vids: youtube.com/channel/UCqz-3c2w3LGLOn5yjgZ1Qsg

anyways, i've been wanting to do an "epic" grisha video for a while and this sort of happened. my inspiration throughout this was: "wreck him STARKOV". and hashtag "darklina or the other guy?" (thank you ben barnes, i appreciate you).

also, "died in your arms" lol, get it? ... i have not fully reread r&r ok.

ps. i am absolutely in LOVE with how much grisha content is popping up. i am living for it. you all rock. netflix take note. aren't we so lucky we have both of them?! i still cannot get over this cast, man. we won, truly.
