SO! This is long, loooooooong overdue. Steve and Lorelei's Marks! Screaming
WHEN I edit the stories it will be in chapter's Prevarication, and theories over breakfast!
My friends have read ahead and there is tea ;) fluff and tea! I really, really wish I was further ahead in the plot but I must have patience. (Which I do NOT)
EDIT: HUGE shout-out to Wonderwomanbatmanfan for catching my mistakes! Once I re-read the chapter it looked like a fever dream ^^; I went ahead and just changed it altogether, and ran it through an online grammar checker.
Thank you once again!
Lorelei's Mark:
Lorelei's Mark, Steve's vibranium shield, is colored in with its iconic colors. When light touches the Mark, it has a slight metallic gleam to it.
Soft, subtle swirls surround the shield and mimic calm waves. If the viewer looks closely, faint stars are hidden within the waves, along with a crescent moon. There was the unmistakable silhouette of a compass hidden in the details of the shield. Invisible at first glance, once noticed it is impossible to unsee.
Lastly, small emerald accents that resemble gemstones are scattered throughout the Mark. The Mark lies smooth on Lorelei's skin, with no trace of the gems that reflect in the light.
Steve's:
Steve's Mark resembles a loosely formed galaxy. Tiny, dim, glowing silver dots decorate the galaxy, representing stars.
The viewer's gaze is inevitably drawn to the larger star in the center of the Mark. Resembling the North Star, a soft silver light emanates from within, flickering like the stars in the night sky. Between the stars are patterns similar to the arms of a galaxy. The arms are colored shades of deep blues, purples, whites, and a touch of silver. A comet, frozen in its journey, arcs through the Mark and leaves a trail behind it, shining as brightly as the star in the center.
The faint outline of Steve's shield circles the outer edges of the Mark. The outline is subtle, with shades of blue and red blending seamlessly with the galaxy's hues.
