So I had to drag my ass off the couch and to my desk to share this. I know most of y'all won't give a damn. I don't care. This excerpt of a piece of Beauty and The Beast fanfic was written by my mentor, Nan Dibble. Look her up sometime. Her book "Plot" (under the pen name Ansen Dibell) is still a standard in writing classes all over the world. She also wrote two pro BATB novels, as well as several others in the sci-fi genre. She dabbled in the Buffyverse, too.
Nan could write Vincent like no other BATB writer in the fandom. Hers is the one I compare all others to, most especially my own. And she took a character we all-season fans had caught only wonderful glimpses of in S3 and expertly filled in all the missing pieces of Diana Bennett, Vincent's second love, an NYPD detective. This is from the story Inside Out from her Acquainted With the Night series. (Drop me a message if you want a link to it).
All you need to know is that Vincent is a fully functioning empath, the half-lion warrior-scholar heir apparent of a community living in the tunnels below New York City. As he and Diana grow closer, he unconsciously awakens that same latent gift in her (with a kiss, naturally) and it almost kills her. After a three month separation enforced by Vincent, he's taken her down to the deepest levels of the tunnels to keep her out of danger and teach her how to build the barriers she'll need to keep her empathetic abilities from overwhelming her in the world Above. Diana starts us out here:
"What I'm getting at is, we're different. You and me. And things are gonna get real mixed up if you're doing what you think I want when I really don't care, and I'm doing what I think you want when you'd really like something else but you're too polite to say so. What I mean is, we gotta say what we mean here. Be who we are. Agree that different is OK, no apologies, no empty politeness.”
He met her eyes then, his own grave and very still. After a long minute, he returned his attention to his mug. “You ask something... very difficult.”
“So it'll be difficult, then. I'll try. Will you?”
Medium silence. Then, with a judicious finality, he set his mug back on the tray. “Yes.”
A small word, but one with implications she suspected they'd never be fully done exploring. A word that committed them both, but especially him, to an honesty she'd enforced against all comers and he'd spent his life publicly ducking for the sake of peace. For the sake of acceptance. And stuffing the hard truths away for the Other to gnaw at.
Softly, he added, “One of the things I love about you is that you force me beyond myself.”
The comment startled her worse than the one about time. She felt the blush rising in her cheeks. She wasn't used to blunt compliments, matter-of-fact avowals of love. They caught her flat-footed, not knowing what to say.
Smiling slightly, eyes downcast, he said, “And your honesty. Forthrightness. And that you are lovely in your bones, so that there is a grace in your least movement, arising as it does out of such stillness. And that even in fear and uncertainty, you are endlessly brave, endlessly kind... May I say such things to you sometimes, Diana? Even though you would rather I did not? For they are true. And I like to say them.”
Her burning face felt about the same shade as her hair. But fair was fair. Couldn't open that door and then gripe about what came through. “Then I'll try to get used to it. `Lovely bones': my God!”
“An image from a poem,” he admitted. “By Theodore Roethke. `She moved in circles, and those circles moved...' I have thought of it often. And was sad to know I might never say it to you. You do not like love spoken, as I do. Keeping the silence is sometimes difficult. And a sadness to me.”
Now it was she who had to take a couple of minutes to collect herself. Then she said, “After that, `You smell real nice' comes out sounding pretty dumb.”
He glanced up, surprised. “You like that? About me?”
“Crazy about it. Especially when you'd come through the skylight, been rained on a little. Wonderful, the smell of it in your hair. Or after the bathing pool. It was things like that I missed. So much, sometimes, I didn't think I could stand it. And your voice. Your being there. Everything. Dammit.” She knuckled her eyes.
The prickly moonlight feeling had started up again, firefly sparks glimmering delicately between them.
He said, “I have found that one does not love in general, but in the particulars. Moments. As now. I am accustomed... to having only words. But there are other eloquences.”
I mean, c'mon! This is so romantic it makes me want to curl up in a ball and weep. I'm such a sap. 🥹

I heard that my dear Lu-est of Lus @swinging-stars-from-satellites wanted some poetry about the grief of growing older and dealing with the unbearable changing of time, so I made a little anthology/collection for that purpose! Links below for anyone else who might need some poet's comfort:
At Your Age, I Wore A Darkness, by Maggie Smith
Let This Darkness Be a Bell Tower, Rainer Maria Rilke
Everyday Life, by Olav. H. Hauge
The Letter, by Linda Gregg
Most Days I Want to Live, by Gabrielle Calvocoressi
Heavy, by Mary Oliver
Grief, by Louise Erdrich
Untitled, by Xin Qiji
The Thing Is, by Ellen Bass
October, An Elegy, by Sue Goyette
The Waking, by Theodore Roethke
One Art, by Elizabeth Bishop (Gracie's poem! <3)
What the Living Do, by Marie Howe
and because at times I process things best using my own work, four of my own: The Grief of Growing Older, Answer, Room, and The Loss of One's Wings.
#poetry#friends tag#teehee also the october an elegy poem is mainly there because she talks about opening the book to the last page first#and my brain was like!!!! OH THAT'S LU RIGHT THERE#<3#also this exercise made me realize that most of the poems i read are kind of...very cheery so i hope this is okay!#these have all comforted me in some way or other though so i am offering them anyway like respite along the road!

Can you show us some of your tats?!
how does it feel to ask my favorite question of all time lmao (these are most of mine, but there's still more lol
from left to right, top to bottom: neo-trad fox (inspired by in a week by hozier and the violets in the background are bc the wisconsin state flower is a wood violet); a neo-trad raven with red and orange ribbons behind it and an orange orb thing (i love ravens and spooky shit and edgar allan poe); a neo-trad plague doctor in muted colors that my artist referred to as a sad rainbow (got this in january 2020 right before the pandy and felt like i summoned something lol); a sticker-like stylized version of joey king's character in the movie wish i was here and below that is a purple and blue watercolor/paint background with "we think by feeling" in a handwritten script (wiwh is one of my all-time favorite movies and her wig is pretty recognizable + we think by feeling is a line from one of my favorite poems, the waking by theodore roethke, which was also translated into one of my favorite songs of the same name by kurt elling); a black and grey ribcage with splashes of green and blue paint around it (what i refer to as my obscure scrubs tattoo [rib cage bc of the xray in the opening credits and the colors are medical and surgical's scrubs colors]); a collection of leaves from varying plants (monstera deliciosa, homalomena selby, calathea orbifolia, raphidaphora tetrasperma, calathea makoyana, and alocasia frydek) and the first 2 sessions of my sleeve, which is made up of houseplant leaves
send me more tattoo asks!

Who’s afraid of that?
Ghost cries out to ghost–
But who’s afraid of that?
I fear those shadows most
That start from my own feet.
—Theodore Roethke, from “The Surly One,” The Collected Poems of Theodore Roethke (Anchor Books, 1975) (via The Vale of Soul Making)
