Ok, Clair Obscur has made me cry enough, so I'm thinking about an AU kind-of except not really but just. A happier way to move on. Many, many spoilers under the cut!

Let's start with: this is post-A Life to Love. That's the ending that I chose, ok, A Life to Paint just makes me feel bad.

So, post-A Life to Love. The Canvas has been destroyed and Alicia is back in the real world and grieving her brother and everyone from the Canvas, and there's a war going on with her family and the Writers and it's... A Lot.

So she tries to relearn how to live in this world. This world that feels so alien to her after being in the Canvas so long. Tries to learn how to live in this body that doesn't quite feel like her own, not after the fire, not after having experienced being Maelle (young and unburdened and not scarred like this body of hers) for so long.

And how does she do that? She goes around. Sees this world. Walks these streets, roams these woods.

And what does she find?

Lune in a library. She doesn't know Alicia, and there is no way that's Lune, Alicia saw her disappear from the outside, except it's her. The same hair. The same eyes. The same voice. The same smile. There are differences, things that don't quite exist on this side of reality that are missing, but it's... Lune. It's Lune.

Alicia runs. She runs and doesn't come back, not for weeks, but it doesn't matter, because next she finds Sciel. She has a man by her side and she is smiling so brightly it takes Alicia a moment to recognize her, and it takes her even longer to realize she might know the man with her, too. Maelle was still young when Pierre died, but Alicia thinks that might be him, with Sciel. Holding Sciel's hand. Kissing her on the cheek.

It makes no sense.

Alicia wasn't surprised to see the Esquie plushie in Verso's old room, and wasn't surprised to see Noco and Monoco running around the backyard — her memories had bled through enough that she remembered, by the end, where Verso got them from. The original Verso, that is. The real brother she had lost so many years and just a few months ago.

But why were Lune and Sciel here? They belonged in the Canvas. They were part of Maelle's family, not Alicia's. Why were they here?

(and if they were here, where was Gustave?)

Why...

And the thing is, the Canvas was completely separated. It was another world, another reality that didn't quite exist — but Verso had died long, long ago in there. There was just a last remnant of his soul keeping things alive. Keeping things working. That broken fragment wasn't able to create, not really, not anymore, but it was still able to copy.

Once upon a time, Verso was a boy who just wanted to live an adventure and created creatures that existed to make sure no one would ever have to cry alone, but Verso wasn't the best at painting people. That didn't change when he grew, his attention pulled elsewhere — how would the last fragment of the nameless boy he once were have learned?

Painted Verso lived a century in the Canvas, watching the destruction of the world he created.

Painter Verso looked out, copying more and more as he worked endlessly to keep this world moving the best he could, and sometimes that meant painting things that already existed outside.

Like its people.

The Canvas didn't exist, not anymore, and the soul of her brother was gone for real now, but suddenly, thrown in a world she rejected, Alicia discovered there might still be something for her.

... and that maybe, out here, she might find the rest of the family she had had to say goodbye to.

(this time, she hoped to be able to stand by Gustave's side and maybe even watch him ask Sophie out for a proper date. He deserves that. He deserved all the happiness he could have, after... After everything.)

(Maelle was gone and Gustave would never be her brother or father ever again, but Alicia dared think she might be able to befriend him again, despite all that)

Jedi June Week Four: Cross-Lineage Mentorship

I've always loved the fact that Shaak Ti was the one who took Ahsoka on her Akul Hunt. And, well, I wanted to at least get ONE week of @jedijune done, so this felt like perfect timing. Enjoy!

books you want to read in the new year. three categories here

non fiction i an interested in reading & have been for awhile but haven’t gotten around too. p sure there’s been second editions published since i put them on my lists 🤧

stuff i’m reading bc it has to do with my areas of interest re: writing. i’ve been interested in horror & building suspense, who Doesn’t turn to ursula le guin when they’re trying to write fantasy, 2-3 of the main characters are inuit in my own writing so i just read (and watch) random shit so i don’t sound like im talking out of my ass.

stuff i want to read but it’s been hard to find them. i’ve checked every legal channel i know to not have to pay for we shall be no more & it is Nawt available for less than $50. im like 70% sure i’ll be able to get a request filled for the other two but it’s a lil hit or miss sometimes when you’re requesting from a university library.
