Well…I wept.

Bebe Neuwirth singing “Martha” at 54 Below on August 15, 2018. Martha is the third number in a sequence of songs traditionally sung by men for which Bebe does not change the pronouns.

“Leah was my absolute best friend.  She was an only child too, so it was this next level sisterly bond.  Her boyfriend Rasual became like a brother as well.  He valued Leah’s friendships, so we became like a family.  One night the two of them were driving home and lost control of their vehicle.  Both of them passed away, instantly.  My grieving process was very hard.  People were worried about me.  The everyday, basic things became so difficult.  I wasn’t cooking dinner for my kids.  I wasn’t painting very much.  Then one year after their death, I got invited to exhibit at an art show in Cleveland.  It was on the anniversary of Leah’s funeral.  I’m not even sure why I accepted the invitation.  While I was getting ready in my hotel room, I remember saying a little prayer.  I said: ‘Leah, I love you so much, but help me get through tonight without talking about you.  Just one night.’  I arrived at the event and noticed that I’d be sharing my wall with another artist.  His name was Bonic.  He was deep in conversation with someone.  The first thing I noticed was his voice.  It was a very strong voice.  And it was so familiar.  I introduced myself, and told him: ‘This is going to sound crazy, but your voice sounds just like my friend who passed away.’  And he said: ‘Do you mean Rasual?’  It turns out that he’d known Leah and Rasual for years.  He recognized me from their memorial service.  That was over a year ago.  Since then, Bonic and I have done so many collaborations.  We’ve been all over the world together.  He’s great with my kids.  He’s my soul mate.  Without question, he was the reason I was at that show.  At the end of that night, I went back to my hotel room, and I wrote an entry in my journal.  I wrote the date, and a single line: ‘Leah, did you send him to me?’"                     #quarantinestories

Lucius/Narcissa

From the “Send Me Ships” prompt for @bellaluna2

Okay, so the first time I did it, tumblr ate it! So I had to completely redo it…

Gives nose/forehead kisses:

Lucius. Actually, Narcissa started it but then Lucius liked it so much he picked it up and it became his habit. The general pattern is nose kisses when he’s leaving the house, forehead kisses when he’s leaving the room.

Gets jealous the most:

Narcissa. She’s been that way since she was a child but it’s one of the things that drives her ambition.

Takes care of on sick days:

They both do in different ways. Lucius is more doting (so much so that Cissa ends up kicking him out of the room most of the time because she needs her space.) She checks on Lucius when he’s sick but is usually of the ‘oh, you’ll be fine’ attitude.

Drags the other person out into the water on beach day:

Hahah - this is kinda funny to picture the way I’d originally meant it. But on vacation without any other worries? Narcissa.

Brings the other lunch at work:

Narcissa. A lot of times it’s her excuse to see him in the middle of the day whether they meet somewhere or she brings him a tray wherever he is in the manor. (If she doesn’t have her own plans, that is.)

Tries to start role-playing in bed:

Lucius. …if you’ve been her long enough, you know why. hahaha

Embarrassingly drunk dancer:

Also Lucius

Firmly believes in couples costumes:

Okay, so they don’t celebrate Halloween really BUT - Lucius. Anytime they go to an event/ball/party/etc. they wear matching or coordinated outfits. Lucius brought it up the first time they went to a function as a couple and though it sort of surprised Narcissa at the time, it was always a given ever since. In fact, most days they’re outfits are at least coordinated.

Lucius loves it because it’s his way of telling everyone he’s the lucky bastard that landed Narcissa.

Breaks the expensive gift rule during Christmas:

They don’t even have this rule, but Lucius. Those few Christmases where it was difficult to celebrate anything, he still surprised Narcissa with amazing gifts.

Makes the other eat breakfast:

Narcissa. She makes sure Lucius eats even if it’s just a croissant on the way out.

Remembers anniversaries:

Both

Brings up having kids first:

It was never really discussed. Because they’re marriage was all but arranged, it was discussed for them and made very clear what the expectations were.

Kills the bugs:

Narcissa

Lucius ignores them and suddenly remembers something that takes him away from the bug’s vicinity.

First to define them as a couple:

Again, this didn’t really come up because of the way their formal courtship went but Lucius.

Who hides their guilty pleasures longer:

haha, Lucius.

Snorts while laughing:

Narcissa and it’s one of Lucius’ favorite sounds in the world. He’s happy the rest of the day whenever he manages to make Narcissa laugh that hard.

Thank you for sending this in! It’s been a while and I very much enjoyed it :-)
