Serendipity [NatieღSerena] #261: S3 is Borgy's season to dominate with his NS conspirator ways. Watch out GG!
w e l c o m e t o t h e 260th NATE & SERENA a p p r e c i a t i o n t h r e a d. s e r • e n • d i p • i • t y the art of making beautiful discoveries or a fortunate accident they never meant to fall in love. they just did. it was a beautiful discovery & a fortune accident.
Their love story requires many roads to travel and many obstacles to finish. But if it's anything... their love is raw and powerful. Having known each other inside and out, they've grown to love each other's strengths and flaws. Nate even kept defending her... it's as if it comes naturally... to protect her. They don't have to try or study each other. It's just so natural and is. It's passion... not lust. They don't think... they feel! Even Dan's subconscious is hinting out to him that what Nate and Serena have is so inate. Unstudied. Making love not for the sake of having sex.. but because they share a deep underlying passion for each other. Although they can be rough and steamy, they can also be so delicate and intimate with each other. They have the best of both worlds. And it's breathtaking. Both make each other want to be a better person. And, by being apart, they become the empty shells of their former selves. It's a given fact that they complete each other. Right now, Nate and Serena are working out their issues separately. Nate with his aristocratic family and Serena with her own identity. So that when they do finally get together, it wouldn't much of an issue. They wouldn't have to apologize for who they are and for choosing to be with each other. Like, somehow, they're working to fix all the things that goes between them or hinder them from happening. Like, somehow, they're preparing themselves to become, someday, better people for each other. In his darkness, she is the light. When everything's wrong, he is her right. [read their full story]

It was his moment but he missed it, because he was fifteen and stupid, and didn’t know how to handle the fact that this was his moment and her name wasn’t Blair. It was his moment but he missed it, but at least it wasn’t for lack of trying. Because Nate tried to tell her. He really, truly did. Except Nate was fifteen, stupid, and drunk, and his “I love you” got jumbled up somehow on the way to his mouth and tripped out instead as “I think I’m going to throw up.” “Me too,” she said, shaking her head with half a laugh and running her hand through her matted drape of hair. It wasn’t until years later, as they sat, face-to-face at that old brunch place on 77th and Lexington, and she smiled at him from beneath that ethereal hair, bringing a bite of heavily syruped pancake to her delicate mouth—it wasn’t until then that he realized Serena would have said the same thing either way. But it wasn’t her moment. It was Nate’s moment. And he missed it. lying in my bed I hear the clock tick, and think of you caught up in circles confusion is nothing new flashback - warm nights almost left behind suitcases of memories... He knows everything about her, whether its good or bad, and he still loves her with all his heart. He knows how to be her lover, her friend - everything she could ever need. She represents all the things he wants but can’t have because of his parents and the [restrictions in] his life. She could embrace her past and tie it to her present without worrying about whether she’s good enough and he could start looking towards a bright new future made up of only what’s best for him. Together, they would be able to break free of the world that binds them. -sendtherain It's just something about these two. With not more than nine (9) scenes together in one season, they have a solid (not to mention, growing) fan base, which just speaks for itself. Plus, they are physically, the two most beautiful people on Gossip Girl which doesn't hurt, either. Shipping them isn't always the easiest thing to do since the odds are always against them (book and show) but it's completely worth it when you know the magnitude of their feelings for one another. -njbrc For me, they are the meaning of true love. They really are soulmates but everything is so complicated... so complicated that they never gave themselves a chance. Trying not to hurt Blair made them hurt each other and when they finally let their feelings take the better of them, Serena ran away. The fact that even after one (1) year those feelings are still there, it's WOW! They can't stay apart. I think that at the end of the day it's still Serena and Nate no matter what. They are unstoppable. They are like the rain - it touches all. -Lôwrane They are comfortable and happy in each other's presence yet, at the same time, their feelings for each other and their past always seeps in to make things awkward for them. They have an amazing friendship and are always there for each other during rough times. That awkwardness I love because it shows how they are trying to fight what they feel for each other. -♥ Laura ♥ These two get each other. They understand each other on a level beyond a normal relationship, thanks to their deep friendship. They are there for one another when it's necessary and want what's best for the other person. I also am a fan of how they communicate and how you can just feel that there is something more than friendship underneath the surface. -Undeniable Mr. Bean supports Team Serendipity Well, if Nate calls Serena the “girl of his dreams”, then we know he would love her eternally. They still have their bumps but they overcome it anyway because their auras comfort each other immediately. The fact that they can overcome any obstacles in their relationship, it shows how strong their passionate feelings are for each other which is why they deserve to find happiness, desire and love together. -starznangelz I feel like they're just so perfect for one another - they make each other happy in a way that no one else can. Nate accepts Serena, the good and the bad. And she brightens up his life and lets him be free from all the restrictions around them. I just think together they can balance each other out - be that safe place that they've both been looking for. Plus, Chace/Blake chemistry owns me. -Vilandra-N-Kivar-lover Nate and Serena has a relationship that is quite compelling to watch. It's not something that is two-dimensional or just merely black and white. It's a burst of colors that would leave one just spell- bounded. One doesn't necessarily complete the other because they are already whole as a character in themselves but when they are together - it's something that is so undeniably obvious - they just SHINE. Their connection needs no words. They share comfortable silences because of their deep friendship and yet they also share tension-filled silences because of their raw and subtly powerful love for each other. -SergeantPepper For me, they are "the special two", the Prince and the Princess of the UES .It seems like they have a sort of "golden aura" that appears only when they're together. Serena lights up and Nate can't help but stare at her like she is the most precious thing in the world. -Lyssie88 [more testimonials] __________________

HOW THE SAILOR MET THE WILDFLOWER Maybe they were doing art as toddlers and Nate was missing one color in his crayon box... yellow. Serena happened to sit near him and so he tried borrowing from her. He forgot what it was called because he couldn't read yet and so the first words he ever spoke to her was: N: HEY, what color is your hair? I’m a dreamer, waiting for the sun, When you’re coming in, I know my life’s begun. When will I breathe you in again? "Hey. Um, if you wanna reflect alone together, I'll be around." - Serena (to Nate), 1x18 [more episode quotes] Its an itch we know we are gonna scratch. Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch. But wouldn't it be beautiful? So I took what's mine by eternal right. Took your soul out into the night. It may be over but it won't stop there, I am here for you if you'd only care. { PHOTO OF THE MOMENT } [brokenshards] Is that alright? To give my gun away when it's loaded? I can't help it baby, this is who I am. Sorry, but I can't just go turn off how I feel. You kill me, you build me up, but just to watch me break. I know what I should do but I just can't walk away. { VIDEO OF THE MOMENT } I can't be as sorry as you think I should. I still love you more than anyone else could. And you kissed me like you meant it. And I knew... that you meant it. Nate’s gaze landed on Serena first. It always did. Serena. All legs and laughter and sunshine and perfection, even if he knew (which he did) that she was really far from it. He lazily dragged his eyes away from Serena’s radiant face and brought it to the other girl in the room. For some reason, that’s always how he thought of her. The other girl. Blair. All properness and theatrics and insecurity, even if he knew (which he didn’t, but should’ve) that she acted on those insecurities after every meal. Serena didn’t really need him. She hadn’t ever really needed anyone. Ever. Not even Blair, or her mom, or her dad that was gone now. But Blair, Blair really needed him. That felt good. He knew that when she looked at him, she thought the world of him. And right then and there, Nate knew whom he should pick. Who he needed to pick. Even if they might never hold his attention like those long long legs. So he went up to Blair, who was still glowing from the magic of her favorite movie, and kissed her straight on the mouth. He could feel her grasp at his shirt with her tiny hands, and he held her tight. The teenagers were interrupted by a loud whooping noise coming from the heart shaped mouth of Serena. “This is so great!” And if Nate notices that her voice is a little too loud, the smile a little too big, the words a little too enthuastic, he doesn’t say anything because he had just made his choice, and it’s too late to change his mind now. But he’s too busy making out with Blair for sure to notice Serena’s grip is just a little too tight on the martini glass that she’s holding, and that she put a little too much alcohol in the glass to begin with. Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did. And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did. And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did. And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did. And there are voices that want to be heard. So much to mention but you cant find the words. The scent of magic, the beauty that's been. When love was wilder than the wind. Listen to your heart when hes calling for you. { BOOK MOMENTS } I keep hopin' for a cure, for some medicine, just one conversation. I can't return to you, you must return to me. That's the deal. But everything inside you knows says more than what you've heard. So much more than empty conversations filled with empty words. And you're on fire when he's near you. { TOP MOMENTS } 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. __________________

Still got your face painted on my heart, Scrawled upon my soul, etched upon my memory. Ive got your kiss still burning on my lips, The touch of my fingertips, this love so deep inside of me, baby. Ive tried everything that I can to get my heart to forget you. But it just cant seem to. I guess its just no use. In every part of me is still a part of you. And all the roads we have to walk along are winding. And all the lights that lead us there are blinding. There are many things that I would like to say to you ...but I don't know how. Because maybe, you're gonna be the one who saves me. And after all, you're my wonderwall. { QUOTES } And when I need you then I know you will be there with me. Just need to get closer, closer... Lean on me now. You were like a power of nature. Telephatic beautiful creature. Understanding all my weakness. Patient, love & know when it reaches. { CINEMATIC COUPLES LIKE THEM } I believe that fate has brought us here. And we should be together but we're not. I play it off but I'm dreamin of you. I'll keep it cool but I'm fiendin. I try to say goodbye and I choke. I try to walk away and I stumble. Though I try to hide it it's clear... My world crumbles when you are not near. She'd give back all the popularity, the c-list fame and the looks that never really go deep enough for him. Everything that Blair craves so badly she'd trade for what her best friend has. He's her everything, and she'd put him above all she has and can give. Even her own heart. Maybe that's love. She’s always known, honestly. She’s just been too scared to admit it, even to herself. It’s simple, and it’s simple in how it hurts. So she’ll wait, and she’ll watch as the perfect Upper East Side couple kiss at parties as she drags some guy she doesn’t even know the name of off to a nearby bedroom. Because, let’s face it, she’s going to be waiting a long time, and if alcohol and sex helps to numb the pain, then who would blame her? She’ll see gray eyes instead of blue and drink cocktails instead of eating poptarts. ‘I love you.’ She’ll mouth next time she sees him, in the cafeteria. Blair will be pretending to be eating Sushi and Nate will secretly slip the girl-who-isn’t-his-girlfriend half of his peanut butter cookie under the table since Blair’s never really liked sugary food and it’s some silly little exclusive game they play that gives Serena more hope than she deserves. She can’t say it, she’ll never say it, because that’s the only risk she can’t take, the only thing too dangerous for the infamous Serena van der Woodsen. So she’ll eat the peanut butter cookie and smile, because it’s from Nate, despite the unsatisfactory taste. Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love. All I needed was the love you gave, All I needed for another day, And all I ever knew, only you. Here I am and I'll take my time, Here I am and I'll wait in line always ...always. I've kissed your lips and held your head. Shared your dreams and shared your bed. I know you well, I know your smell. I've been addicted to you. And I'd give up forever to touch you cause I know that you feel me somehow. { SOUNDTRACK } - View List & Download - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This fourth soundtrack is, in actuality, a fanmix posted by someone from LJ. However, the songs fits so well with the recent theme - fun, bubbly, sunny and generally, what a bunch of frisky little bunnies would thump to. Picture this as the music Serena would pull out from her closet to listen to as she converses over poptarts, iced coffee and pizza with her Natie-poo. Download the songs that are wild and carefree as they are. Cheerio! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1 + 2 + 3 01. Why Can't I - Liz Phair I have felt for sure last night that once we said goodbye... No one else will know these lonely dreams. No one else will know that part of me. Im still driving away and I'm sorry every day. No one else will have me like you do. No one else will have me, only you. Nate Archibald never cries. Happy or sad, his tear ducts are sealed shut. Blair knew this. When Nate and Blair got married at sunset on his yacht in the French Riviera, he didn’t cry. She could barely recite her vows. Her happily ever after had finally happened, and she was thrilled. The tears that ran down her face smeared her perfect makeup, and for once she didn’t care. Nate repeated his vows, a careful smile on his face. His eyes darted behind her for a moment. She turned around and saw her still-best-friend Serena crying her pretty little eyes out. Her makeup wasn’t smudged. She fixed her make up. When Nate got the news that his dad had died from a relapse overdose, he didn’t cry. He walked into his study, slammed the door shut, and talked on the phone for two hours straight. He wouldn’t talk to Blair. He refused her food, her words of wisdom, her company. He didn’t tell her who he was on the phone with. He wouldn’t even open the door for her. So Blair called her still-best-friend, looking for help about the situation. The line was busy. For two hours straight. When Blair finally gave birth to a beautiful baby girl after thirteen exhausting hours of labor, he didn’t cry. When they had first announced that it was a girl, his face lit up and he even teared up a bit. Blair was too tired to even move, but the look on his face told her everything that she needed to know. When the child was brought over to her, she snapped out of her exhausted haze. The baby girl wasn’t the spitting image of her mother, as she expected it to be. The newborn had bright blue eyes and golden blonde hair, like her father. Her still-best-friend Serena came tumbling in and she laughed and giggled at the beautiful baby. It hurt Blair to see so many similarities. Nate suggested they name her Serena, after she had left. They named her Audrey. When Nate and Blair walked into her no-longer-best-friend’s funeral, he cried. He cried so hard that his whole body shook. He wasn’t ashamed of the tears, in fact he didn’t even try to wipe them away. He let them fall freely. And when he went up to the pulpit to talk about her, he couldn’t get his words out. His voice choked on the word Serena, and he walked back down from the pulpit when he was finished with as much dignity as he could muster. Nate Archibald did cry.

I hold out a lot of hope of new scenes especially due to recent events. I especially love that ani in the OP post. At the very top on the staircase that was in the promo at the very start of the show. I love how he brushs his fingers against her cheek and the way they are looking at each other just melts my heart every time.
Why couldn't this have been left in an actual episode they are just so beautiful together. __________________

It's looking like sunnier weather alright Lisa got even sunnier for me today!!!!
It's weird cos I only started to reallllly like NS very recently, don't get me wrong I always wanted them together but up till recently not in an obsessive way. It was only after a re-watch of dvd when I got all of them (1&2) that I really started to ship them so I had never even seen that promo. It's so disappointing that it wasn't left in. Also this afternoon I watched the season 2 finale. I never realised how many scenes they have together in that episode it makes me even more hopeful for season 3. __________________
