Cloud was very relieved when August agreed to go to the vigil together, partly for August's sake, and partly for his own. The simple truth of the matter was, Cloud didn't think either of them should try and face that alone, and while it was unlikely that the people around them would have allowed that anyway, he felt, inexplicably, like it was something they should face together. August's question regarding what he was currently doing actually prompted a small laugh from Cloud, though it was not a particularly humorous sound, but instead rang very hollow; a laugh of emptiness and feeling defeated by the circumstances. "I'm not doing anything right now, man. I'm just.. wandering, I guess. Trying to find...I don't know, exactly? Maybe I'm not even trying to find anything at all. But it feels like I am, and I just don't know what. Am I even making any sense right now? I don't know." He admitted, whilst running a hand through his hair and sighing heavily. "You?" He added after a beat.
Tumblr media
Aimless wouldn't have been a strong enough word to describe August since he had learned about Lizzie. Despite having no real reason to be out of his dorm, since the announcement, he had been finding many; though mostly unconsciously searching for a way to keep busy. He thought about returning to his dorm until the vigil but felt nearly suffocated by the prospect, unsure if he would be able to return to his room for the rest of the week... two weeks. Let alone the pathetic two days that Montclair had given their students to grieve.
Instead, he wandered. In fact, he spent the last hour unable to shake the feeling that he had forgotten something. It was simply that he couldn't remember what it was; having only recently taken a seat to try and uncover what he had misplaced. His laptop charger? His sketchbook? A drink from the vending machine? Perhaps what he had really been looking for was a person. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat.
August buckled forward, dipping his head into his hands, his fingers brushing through his hair for a quick second before abruptly returning to his feet and continuing his original path. He had almost completely missed Chris in his determination to avoid... whatever it was he had been avoiding — hesitating at the sound of his name. At the sight of Chris, August's lips pressed into a line as his psyche danced between awareness and a desperate desire to escape himself. "Hey..."
As Chris began stammering, August was already shaking his head, trying to insist that he not try to find any words. In fact, hoping he wouldn't acknowledge... whatever it was that August didn't want to acknowledge. "It's fine," is what came out when he would have preferred to say please don't.
At the mention of the vigil, August nodded a little. Quickly. Almost as though if he responded readily enough, Chris's words would end sooner. The suppression of emotion manifested as a contortion of his lips. "Okay," he said lightly, nodding more appreciatively now. Though, somewhere in the back of his mind, he wondered how he would survive the vigil without his mother present. "Yeah, if you'd wanna go together... we can do that — I probably need it." He ran his tongue over his lips and let a small shrug lift his shoulders. "What are you doing now?"

Blog Post #1: "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" Exhibit
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This past Thursday, August 29, 2024, our Study Experience for NYC Fashion Students course visited the "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The MET) in Manhattan. Before the visit, I had only a limited understanding of the collection. Although the theme is well-known due to the famous gala, I was less familiar with the inspiration behind it. I was intrigued to learn more about the curation process and the ideology driving the exhibit.
In my research, I discovered that the name "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" reflects the reanimation of historical or retired garments, allowing them to be experienced as originally intended. The exhibit incorporates modern technology, such as artificial intelligence and computer-generated imagery, with traditional methods like x-rays, animation, light projections, and soundscapes. After learning this, I was eager to see how the curators combined past works of art with contemporary technology to create this sensory-driven experience.
I first encountered this blend of technology and historical fashion upon entering the exhibit. On one side of the wall was a 19th-century gown with intricately designed beadwork depicting a sky with the sun emerging from behind clouds. This gown, designed by Charles Frederick Worth, had suffered beadwork deterioration over time. The MET curators revived this garment through a three-dimensional animation of a woman dancing. This computer-generated imagery demonstrates how the gown was designed to move and flow with the wearer, further providing the viewer with a more profound insight into 19th-century fashion.
One of my favorite sensory experiences offered by the exhibit was the "Blurred Blossoms" collection. I found it fascinating how many garments from different periods featured a similar blurred floral pattern. For example, an 18th-century robe à la française showcased this fabrication design, achieved through a process called chiné à la branche. During this process, warp threads are dyed in groups before weaving. In order to create the watercolor effect, the weaver would slightly pull the threads. In contrast, a 1950s gown in the same collection had a similar blurred floral effect but used a different technique. The chiné à la branche method, which was less labor-intensive and costly, allowed this optical illusion. Although both garments provide the same sensory experience, each reflects the fabrication techniques of its time. I enjoyed witnessing the evolution of dyeing processes used to achieve these captivating effects.

August 2023 DWC Day 1: Beginnings / Endings
CW: Mention of death of a child
Since the anomaly near the reservoir, that moment when time had stood still and its threads had parted to show Luminash a glimpse of himself, scarred horribly by shadowflame, mind twisted by disillusionment with the Titans and by the Infinite promise of control over time’s endless march, Luminash had been diligent for more, searching the area daily for any trace of that timeway’s signature. 
He had tried his timepiece method, an hourglass, even dabbled in harmonies and resonance as some of his colleagues at Eon’s Fringe had, charging condensed glassy beads of temporal sand with the Arcane. Still, he found nothing. In the end, he had felt it best to bring in someone with sharper, fresher eyes to use those tools.
“I remember writing this. Most of it, at any rate,” Luminash said, scanning the timelost scroll recovered from the hills near the reservoir.
“But not all of it?” Theras asked. The younger Dawnwing turned over between his fingers the wolf’s fang he wore around his neck, waiting for his father to speak.
Luminash shook his head, rolling the paper back up and setting it down with the pack his son had brought back, resonating stone humming shrilly before the magister deactivated it, “The conclusion here is different. Significantly.”
“How so?” Still he toyed with the wolf fang, and the magister allowed himself a small sad smile at the recollection of an aging frostwolf companion of many years past.
“I concluded that the Titans were – are – not infallible, but their deeds and legacy are still worth studying and preserving. With important notes, let us say, that we ought not follow their path blindly. The world, all of creation, is much more complex than one piece of it would have us believe.” Catching his son’s eyes, he tapped the scroll with a jabbing finger, “Here, I concluded that their legacy is hopelessly tainted by their intentions of control, and all children of Azeroth should seek to free themselves of the yoke of Order.”
“What would account for that? What happened in that timeway that would lead you to that?” The ranger asked about his father, but the unspoken question of his own fate in that timeway nevertheless hung in the air, “Where do the changes start?”
Emptying the rest of the pack, Luminash sighed, “A very good question. I’ll admit, I have my own doubts, but to throw my lot in with a Primalist-Infinite alliance seems extreme.”
Theras stepped away from the table while his father sorted through the various effects from the other Luminash’s pack. He saw the usual tools of the trade – arcane foci, inks, parchment, nothing out of the ordinary, and certainly nothing to hold his interest. Far better were the rolling dunes nestled in the rocky crags and peaks of Thaldraszus. The young ranger had never seen anything like it, and his heart swelled as his imagination soared through those peaks. He wondered how a drake’s reins would feel in his hands. Then, he snapped back to reality.
“Theras,” the magister said, voice little more than a hoarse whisper, “Here. Look.”
The last item in the pack, the end of their investigation for the day, lay bare on the table. Theras’ hands grasped his necklace, knuckles white, as he stared at its duplicate on the table. The only difference is that the other’s leather cord was gone, replaced by silver, and a chip missing from the end of Rimepelt’s memento.
Soaring through the clouds, wind whipping his red mane behind him, then suddenly swallowed in a black pit, diving deep from the heights, no bottom in sight. Theras, already pale, utterly blanched.
“The beginning, I dare say. I am…” Luminash struggled to find the right words, only trailing off. How often, he wondered, did one have to offer condolences to someone on their own death?
Theras swallowed hard and took one step back, then another. He looked at his father, into his eyes, the same ones that would be darkened with shadowflame after, what, his own demise?
“I need some air.”

Harry Styles - Keep Driving // interpretation, analysis, meaning
Please note: Read my profile description. This is MY interpretation. It´s personal. You may have a different opinion and that´s fine with me. If you don´t agree, just move on 😉
I’ve had the thoughts for keep driving in my head for more than a year now but never cared to sort them properly.  
There are already great threads that interpret the verses and link them to pictures and occurrences, so I will attach them and only write what I think in addition to that. 
While I couldn’t find any reference where he said so himself, it is widely believed, that this song is inspired by his road trip to Italy in summer 2020 with „a friend“. He recorded the song afterwards in August 2020. 
See pics for reference. Thank you @skepticalarrie for providing us with the HSH timeline! It already helped me out in research quite a few times ❤️
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I see the whole song divided in different facets of Hs life. In general it is about his longterm and domestic relationship (with Louis💙 (hi, I´m a Larrie 👋))(So close this if you’re not in my lane), but each part is about a different factor that affects this relationship throughout time.  
Verse 1  Black and white film camera  Yellow sunglasses  Ashtray, swimming pool  Hot wax, jump off the roof 
See the attached links below for all the references to the lines 🩷 
For me the first verse mirrors the beginning of their relationship, the falling in love stage. They enjoy their love and life in the band, they do fun stuff. The verse is about them only. 
I know that H used to publish a lot of bw pics on IG and liked photography so I guess it was an artistic choice. Nevertheless the black and white film camera could also already refer to the start of closeting, thus to a love he needed to hide. This would be fitting here bc it’s the very first line, setting the background info for the whole song. His public life needs to be black and white, the colors in between are not allowed 🌈. 
Chorus  A small concern with how the engine sounds  We held darkness in withheld clouds  I would ask, "Should we just keep driving?" 
The chorus shows that there are obstacles they need to overcome, starting already in early stages of their relationship. The engine being a metaphor for their relationship affected by music industry or the music industry itself (closeting, stunting). 
The darkness sounds like a reference to closeting. The withheld clouds in this sentence might refer to them not being granted to be „on cloud 9“, to feel happy about their love. 
So, H would ask „is it all worth it? Should we keep on going? Should we keep on fighting?“ (YES! Obviously!) 
Also note the times used: 
Present for the fact of the engine malfunction. 
Past for darkness in withheld clouds. This implies by the time of writing the darkness and withheld clouds were gone. 
Simple Conditional for I would ask. So it’s more like a theoretical or rhetorical question, a question never been asked really. 
To be honest the darkness and withheld clouds line gives me a headache interpretational wise 😅 but here is an interpretation I found on genius that I relate to. 
Tumblr media
There is also the 1D song „clouds“ with a similar meaning. I‘ll just attach two screenshots bc they contain what I would have written myself.��
See link to tumblr at the end of this post! 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Verse 2  Maple syrup, coffee  Pancakes for two  Hash brown, egg yolk  I will always love you 
Again, see the attached links below for all the references to the lines 🩷 
The second verse for me is about their relationship in private a bit further on in 1D and up to now. They live together (deal with it 💁🏼‍♀️), they have a loving domestic relationship. This verse is still only about them. 
https://x.com/brightannegold/status/1700616852001726678
This tumblr (also attached as a link below) describes my feelings about this verse perfectly. 🩷 
Tumblr media
A small concern with how the engine sounds  We held darkness in withheld clouds  I would ask, "Should we just keep driving?"  „Should we just keep driving?“ 
The obstacles are still in place. But it’s still a theoretical question. 
Bridge pt.1  Passports in footwells  Kiss her and don′t tells  Wine glass, puff pass, tea with cyborgs  Riot America, science and edibles  Life hacks going viral in the bathroom 
Again, see the attached threads below for all the references to the lines 🩷  
From the bridge on the song speeds up and the singing gets more urgent. 
For me this is the part showing how work influences their relationship.  
THIS is the "small concern with how the engine sounds“. 
Constant traveling (passport in footwells), 
Work dinners or nights stayed in (wine glass; reference to grapejuice and walls „smoke something, drink something“), 
Sharing joints (puff pass; reference to High in California, 1D chicken in chile), 
working on music videos (tea with cyborgs and science; drag me down, NASA) and 
how their life is being analyzed in social media (lifehacks going viral in bathrooms; oops hi in bathroom and every single move they do).  
It also contains their closeting via the lines „kiss her and don’t tells“ and „riot America“ (bc their closeting began in full force when they were to enter the American market, and they surely were fighting against it. Also their worst stunts happen(ed) in America and through their other song lyrics one can see that it’s a place they don’t feel comfortable in). 
Kiss HER and don’t tells could literally mean kissing a stunt woman and not telling the truth about his real partner. But it could also be seen as this user on genius wrote, the „her“ actually being a „him“ 
Tumblr media
Another interpretation of the riot America line.  
Tumblr media
„Science and edibles“ for me also refers to MFASR lyrics which are about toxic music industry. It compares to science to see through all the PR and intertwined relations regarding the business. But it also refers to fan behavior „if the stars were edible, and our hearts were never full, could we live with just a taste?“. If you see „stars“ as celebrities in this, it gets a deeper meaning. There are fans, that always want more. One meet and greet is not enough, they want to be part of their private life. In worst case they become stalkers.  
See also MFASR mv- the „can I touch your tail“ line is right before „if the stars were edible“. 
Tumblr media
Bridge pt.2  Cocaine, side boob  Choke her with a sea view  Toothache, bad move  Just act normal  Moka pot Monday, it's all good  Hey, you  Should we just keep driving? 
This is the peak of the song and shows the „worst engine sounds“. 
The vibe is more negative in the first part and further describes the happenings in work and private life.  
Industry events (cocaine, side boobs; women/stunts wearing revealing dresses, also Hs own physique which is always a topic in media) 
(Mentally) Painful experiences (Toothache; metaphor for serious pain; note: I saw posts relating this to L. But L only got his wisdom teeth removed in 2021 after the song has been recorded, See HSH timeline above) 
The „bad move“ could be anything really 🤷🏼‍♀️  
The „choke her“ is a repetitive metaphor within HSH songs. There are at least 2 more (unreleased) songs using it, too (too much sauce and make my day). 
Tumblr media
It could also be a „choker“.  
Tumblr media
For me this line means the industry makes him feel like he’s wearing a choker (heavy restrictions, closeting) while offering him a sea view (career and its perks). 
Other thoughts on the seaview: 
Tumblr media
The second part of the bridge goes back to only them again. They need to just act normal. Not showing how they are affected by those negative vibes.  
The „mocha pot Monday“ for me means, after all, they are off to a new start of their everyday life with all it‘s obstacles. Not appreciating them but accepting them for now. Like everyone else beginning the new work week with a cup of strong coffee to face what the week may bring. 
The urgency in the music calms down again. H reassuring his partner by saying „It’s all good“ and asking yet again- this time addressing it directly and not only theoretically: „hey you! Should we just keep driving?“ - Are we in this together? Are we a team? Do we keep on fighting? Is it worth it? 
Outro  Should we just keep driving?  Ooh-ooh, ooh  Should we just keep driving? 
Considered the Larry-coding 💚💙 that continued after HSH until now I guess the answer was „yes“ 😉 
This is where my interpretation ends.  
Thank you, if you’ve read it all the way through ☺️🩷 
I’ll now attach all threads and tumblrs I mentioned.  
Amazing thread with pictures to all the lines.  I guess it took ages to search for every single one 😅 Thank you for your service! 
https://x.com/everybdysgay/status/1658712895096512512 (😭 This thread has been deleted I guess)
Nice one! ☺️ keep driving lyrics in a picture video 👍🏻
https://x.com/rove_28/status/1527368441107300352
This one is similar to my interpretation.  Thanks to @hlsongs

Untitled Poem # 12543
A ballad sequence
               1
Where to wasted o’er the Pussy     my love doth cover, drives us one. My students, descend     the sea-lover, he would
run fast it rest as the radio     and he the way, do not know. Rage, rage again, or horse     is wide world except
possibly for long-hair’d page in this     thro’ the bonie lass gang. So looks with the hay was happy, if     they ate with their roots,
accessible alone all shall seek     to harken what I might, I fear to mine is she look’d about     the plank, and straitest
bestow. Or mocked; the covenant     the tree breast doth my griefs, and show’d me to come, the Lady     of Shalott. I brought; and
near death is gone for myself to     win! To believe you I under clouded; fall’n like your thou     pine to yet so different
language of pride o’ my bosom     of the web, she fled ever canna be your mom did not     to break of death, while the
Ring but unthrifts! Just painted from     side by sidewalks in California we went wrong. I have     sung and with speed. To go
wastes, what man I do it make your     leaves and laughs for the selves, they roam, by creeks and mend! Coming     that has close. Thou dost, what
is won. The sun; then called a thing     in all-resemblance to play a plait upon our breath-filling     up in a transgression
by the horses be; and weak;     as a man who know how these Eyes and false in body and     nights—and each muscles, tears.
Of Tyrant. She took some mother     gums their stars or when western she stand trembled: and told how     the current Gold, not that
was. I dreamboat when you were dark.     Is even grace, he reach, on the Fortieth spare Arm-chair     beside remote Shalott.
               2
In martiall sports I have earth upon     thy soul on Cloe blush’d: Euphelia’s praise, and your lips, drops     of Pleasure pass; with lullaby, as men to her heart alone,     and thou fair Cyprian
flow’rs newblown desire to     it, even dead, and thus did appear, that and to me? Nothing     like-hat reads her the Pacific seas for their way down     without respect. And insane
distractions have left in my     rhymes, one freely, as men thro’ the think, my pretty though yet,     till at himself into the Town munificence is ample     warrant thee as the
night; o looks fresh with sweetner art;     pleasure lay in early objects find out a shadows, ’ said     loves always meant and back again? That I feel, across the     crammed fowl come nae mair hae
Queene of brass are immortal, nor     Hope dare a comfort best or faither, wi’ purfles and thence     the Ring burn and a’! Is in Boston, writing, can yet thee     and very weel waled
were for the eggs both have no comrade     Lucy climb the shall adorn beauty and of the lone     stone—and against mind. Compared with their babes have left us     first, more abused: auguste
for whom we can win; I rather     to leave the dear: ae blind; nae ferlie ’tis you here is lovers     late and the powd’ry snow that matter what can say or lose.     The human heard her name.
               3
Which hath thoughts, doe beard less rhyme. Be     overgrown with the mesh, that we escape. And whate’er she     looked on, and dame, the path
is but with pride, and harmony     her sleep, and the bloated wide; but Phillis was queen; but I’m     as from you, you content
and years they stoon? Thee with a broken.     Find she nippit her blush rebuked to blub like little     park with Maiesty. On the
radiant air how courtesy, she     falls, that I dared, come upon the world dreamed I was a Christmas     cactus, blood! My measures,
but love, to secure his way     he kisses these I better; and asked, after being so.     Hears had open fields are
them, and in his bow, and you first     came at play last night. He would sweetest sweetly endite, which     doth dishonour heads never
with answer campfires in     the mere still that, passion of world. My lyre I tune, that is     so. She wild scatter’d cowslips
bedeck thy hands you triumph     yet; because of soür ale some stoon; whan the hogs. But never     I played and each other.
               4
And where is to me by my faither,     hammer sayes, to grace it is confused it, and with his     leave t’ adore in you. Your thread a little Robin, take     this, and soul, live i’ th’
fire. Twas but a wondrous House     of sighing to flowery lap of evolution, he     tore his trees go limp a voices, even gracefull Pitty     Beauty’s rude disdain.
               5
At night, since, spite of warm and gaze     at the land whatever and setting you opened, each other     in death decree the
very life that loosed our heart commits     such expense, of bold seer in one another’s Arms—all     see despite of nastiness.
Thou setst a bate between each     wound and shave been the soft aloft riding of the Word of     Love did appeared. Muscles
running, here a mourning near, to     choose never setting soul can be anything I desire     my soul can hide and
shave been different voice: next Corinna,     for men, its sweets person to thy breast, and said: sunk, then     most the root and I’d
plunged down to Camelot. Do the     light me my Julia, weep, for never grey-headed faith or     hopeless wounds both love. Woman
love thy many flower, untried     each side; the current Gold, not even blue-eyed fly to     the Soul is parted, and
gaze on so fond will color of     the Fiend do nae mair: hers are a’ my Nanie, O. Is evening,     my smart, let the wind and
draw profit while you and I remain     as it was when it grows over to learn delights to     weaveth steady, as hell.
               6
And went on her ringlets, this is     not you appease love’s death’s eternal law; and yet thy Impress     you here the air. All
the brag o’ her last poetic     voice as will be as braw and smooth rocks, and in pursuit and     something. It was its
spectacles and ourself a draught, I     fear our vertues show seems, they homeward to steel; others—it     favorite scene is but with
lullaby my young, but fie! That     used the lines of A Love is not mine’ or thine own fear no     fate for your hath presse, what
I am under tower’d     Camelot. So, the one by one not the moonlight or come in     the green dale: but were married
at a’! Say, are you sing! The     westlin wind blaws loud, thro’ the saddle-leather, over smooth     fare ill on the sob took
your love. That do I owe you? With     loves a man love: rich longer the limits here? That thou art     to giue my touch your
electric meter I will but love,     what love, do not inflate and ourself be less brows shall swear!     Where each to its welcome!
On warm sea-scented beach; three     willingly o’er-arching twa laugh and burgher, lord was left to     us: and heav’nly fire.
               7
Catkins of heaven-like Chrystalline:     sweet in some the summer’s noon clouded; fall’n like the rider     as can the Fawn at
the moment, and nothing admired,     wants to be, die singing in the radiant air how the     cherye was the kitchen called

This Summer: Cloud Rap, A Fake Hurricane, etc.
A friend of mine frequently has to remind me to “surrender to the hourglass;” that is, come to peace with the passage of time. The Hourglass is always a boogeyman of sorts to me, but it particularly troubled me this summer. I was often bemoaning a perceived lack of permanence in my life, a perception that was more than likely a trivial neurosis rather than completely reflective of my reality. On truly unreasonable days, I could be found frozen, staring at my meal, lamenting that the food in front of me would be gone once I ate it. So I kept a journal - although “journal” implies a kind of writing much more confessional than what I wrote. My journal consisted solely of the events of my day. Maybe I subconsciously believed that if I could record my days with enough accuracy, or if I could remember a day or time in my life clearly enough, I could return to it. I must have thought I could slow down the Hourglass. 
I discovered Friendzone in the midst of a dreary California afternoon, waiting out a classic mid-August South Pacific quasi-hurricane. The ambient opening to their 2012 compilation album Collection I set a compellingly dreamy soundtrack to my daily feud with impermanence, and led me down an internet research rabbit-hole. Friendzone is comprised of two East Bay producers named James Laurence and Dylan Reznick. The duo emerged alongside the then-nascent cloud rap movement of the early 2010s. Their largest commercial footprint came after producing A$AP Rocky’s cloud rap classic Fashion Killa, but they found their steadiest collaborator in the Oakland hip-hop duo Main Attrakionz. In a 2015 interview with FACT that saw Dylan Reznick sporting fingerless gloves and holding a vape that conservatively looks a foot long, the pair shared an interest in creating the misty atmosphere of cloud rap without overburdening their sound with reverb and delay. Collection I exhibits the ideals of this philosophy, where Friendzone’s maximalist production feels both dreamy and, as Reznick puts it, “hi-fi;” it's a philosophy that plainly sets them apart from other cloud rap producers.
I can’t help but feel as though Collection I is closely associated with the passage of time. The cover, a grainy, colorless image of a girl cut off at the shoulders down, suggests that we’re missing important visual information. What might be behind her, a reason for taking the picture maybe, is covered by the word “Friendzone '' in large impact font. Laurence and Reznick chose to show us strictly a fragment of a vision, a scene being recalled in fuzzy detail. Song titles, especially at the back end of the record, also bring nostalgia to mind: “I Miss Yall,” “Change,” and “Moments, Pt 1.” There’s an air of mystique that this gives Collection I, as if it’s a buried CD that’s been plucked from a yard sale, or some art school project that was unearthed from an online archive, an album that’s been forgotten. 
While many of the beats on Collection I previously appeared on Main Attrakionz records, they're by no means lacking in substance without vocals. The project completely bares the blueprint for early 2010s cloud rap production, specifically on tracks like “Near,” where vocal chops play over a rigid drum pattern and airy synths. It’s not a formula Friendzone invented, but one that’s certainly close to perfect throughout Collection I. In what has become a rite of passage for cloud rap producers, Laurence and Reznick sample Imogen Heap’s track “Just For Now” on “Change.” You might have heard “Just For Now” sampled in Lil B’s “I'm God,” “Birth of Rap,” and A$AP Rocky’s “Bass.” “Change” swaps the bittersweet feeling of its contemporaries for a more exuberant one. The track is an apt representation of what Friendzone excels at, turning a new wave sample into a sprawling wall of sound. Reznick and Laurence's commitment to creating these walls of sound without relying on heavy reverb or effects is a thread that can be followed throughout the rest of the project, such as on “Perfect Skies." It’s this production dogma that leads to Collection I exuding a kind of blissful distortion, as if it’s recounting a great memory to a friend but getting most of the important details wrong. What stood out to me during California’s pathetic try at tropical storm was the emotion it rendered in me, given the lack of lyrics. Tracks like “Change,” “!!-Major," and “Church " have a fleeting, dreamlike quality that is difficult to grab hold of in any genre, let alone instrumental hip hop. It elevates it from a record to throw on in the background to something more intentional.
Collection I feels so euphorically distant; like an idyllic beach day you only recall half of.  It’s such a tremendous testament to Friendzone’s skill as producers that they were able to bottle that mood without having to rely on language, that they could tell such a compelling story with no words. To me, that story is one of I, lying face down in a rain-soaked, nearly empty, childhood bedroom, immobilized by my ridiculous thoughts, watching the days melt away and blend together. I learned something there that I’m quite certain everyone learns at least once; that the time will pass anyways. Collection I is a must listen for anyone with a passing interest in cloud rap. Or anyone stuck in a midsummer storm.

Tholomyès Is So Merry That He Sings A Spanish Ditty
Volume 1: Fantine; Book 3: In The Year 1817; Chapter 4: Tholomyès Is So Merry That He Sings A Spanish Ditty
That day was composed of dawn, from one end to the other. All nature seemed to be having a holiday, and to be laughing. The flower-beds of Saint-Cloud perfumed the air; the breath of the Seine rustled the leaves vaguely; the branches gesticulated in the wind, bees pillaged the jasmines; a whole bohemia of butterflies swooped down upon the yarrow, the clover, and the sterile oats; in the august park of the King of France there was a pack of vagabonds, the birds.
The four merry couples, mingled with the sun, the fields, the flowers, the trees, were resplendent.
And in this community of Paradise, talking, singing, running, dancing, chasing butterflies, plucking convolvulus, wetting their pink, open-work stockings in the tall grass, fresh, wild, without malice, all received, to some extent, the kisses of all, with the exception of Fantine, who was hedged about with that vague resistance of hers composed of dreaminess and wildness, and who was in love. “You always have a queer look about you,” said Favourite to her.
Such things are joys. These passages of happy couples are a profound appeal to life and nature, and make a caress and light spring forth from everything. There was once a fairy who created the fields and forests expressly for those in love,—in that eternal hedge-school of lovers, which is forever beginning anew, and which will last as long as there are hedges and scholars. Hence the popularity of spring among thinkers. The patrician and the knife-grinder, the duke and the peer, the limb of the law, the courtiers and townspeople, as they used to say in olden times, all are subjects of this fairy. They laugh and hunt, and there is in the air the brilliance of an apotheosis—what a transfiguration effected by love! Notaries’ clerks are gods. And the little cries, the pursuits through the grass, the waists embraced on the fly, those jargons which are melodies, those adorations which burst forth in the manner of pronouncing a syllable, those cherries torn from one mouth by another,—all this blazes forth and takes its place among the celestial glories. Beautiful women waste themselves sweetly. They think that this will never come to an end. Philosophers, poets, painters, observe these ecstasies and know not what to make of it, so greatly are they dazzled by it. The departure for Cythera! exclaims Watteau; Lancret, the painter of plebeians, contemplates his bourgeois, who have flitted away into the azure sky; Diderot stretches out his arms to all these love idyls, and d’Urfé mingles druids with them.
After breakfast the four couples went to what was then called the King’s Square to see a newly arrived plant from India, whose name escapes our memory at this moment, and which, at that epoch, was attracting all Paris to Saint-Cloud. It was an odd and charming shrub with a long stem, whose numerous branches, bristling and leafless and as fine as threads, were covered with a million tiny white rosettes; this gave the shrub the air of a head of hair studded with flowers. There was always an admiring crowd about it.
After viewing the shrub, Tholomyès exclaimed, “I offer you asses!” and having agreed upon a price with the owner of the asses, they returned by way of Vanvres and Issy. At Issy an incident occurred. The truly national park, at that time owned by Bourguin the contractor, happened to be wide open. They passed the gates, visited the manikin anchorite in his grotto, tried the mysterious little effects of the famous cabinet of mirrors, the wanton trap worthy of a satyr become a millionaire or of Turcaret metamorphosed into a Priapus. They had stoutly shaken the swing attached to the two chestnut-trees celebrated by the Abbé de Bernis. As he swung these beauties, one after the other, producing folds in the fluttering skirts which Greuze would have found to his taste, amid peals of laughter, the Toulousan Tholomyès, who was somewhat of a Spaniard, Toulouse being the cousin of Tolosa, sang, to a melancholy chant, the old ballad gallega, probably inspired by some lovely maid dashing in full flight upon a rope between two trees:—
“Soy de Badajoz,
Amor me llama,
Toda mi alma,
Es en mi ojos,
Porque enseñas,
A tuas piernas.
“Badajoz is my home,
And Love is my name;
To my eyes in flame,
All my soul doth come;
For instruction meet
I receive at thy feet”
Fantine alone refused to swing.
“I don’t like to have people put on airs like that,” muttered Favourite, with a good deal of acrimony.
After leaving the asses there was a fresh delight; they crossed the Seine in a boat, and proceeding from Passy on foot they reached the barrier of l’Étoile. They had been up since five o’clock that morning, as the reader will remember; but bah! there is no such thing as fatigue on Sunday, said Favourite; on Sunday fatigue does not work.
About three o’clock the four couples, frightened at their happiness, were sliding down the Russian mountains, a singular edifice which then occupied the heights of Beaujon, and whose undulating line was visible above the trees of the Champs-Élysées.
From time to time Favourite exclaimed:—
“And the surprise? I claim the surprise.”
“Patience,” replied Tholomyès.

It was far past the usual time for the princess to get out of bed...  Of course, her small staff didn’t bother to wake her. When she did rarely get more than an hour of sleep, the entire castle found it a grace on Snow’s part!       But maybe someone should’ve woken her up this morning. 
Tumblr media
   “ Run! Run away! Hide! In the woods, ANYWHERE! NEVER COME BACK! “ Words that replayed in Snow White’s mind, tossing and turning in her bed. The feeling of being watched, the pain in her hands and feet as she ran, all of it clouding any positive thoughts that could wake her from this... “ Leave me be! Please!! What have I done to you!? PLEASE-! “
Tumblr media
  And that’s when she woke up, shooting out of bed with a scream. Her chambers were cold and empty... But she felt like she was being watched, and incredibly uneasy.

Okay, this time I am not late! But I do have a lack of new fics. Today it'll be two I've found during the week and four from my Ao3 Bookmarks.
Fic #1
Wheelbound by Janusi
Fandom(s): Godbound/Wheel of Time
Word Count: 24K
Chapters: 7
Published: November 9th
Last Updated: December 8th
Okay, so. This is a crossover between the tabletop RPG Godbound and the excellent book series Wheel of Time, which has a TV Series adaptation released recently. I could go on and on about the books, but this is about the fanfiction. I know jack shit about Godbound, but the comments on the thread are enough for me to get the picture. And it's glorious. The SI is a Dragon Godbound, in a tale where an important character is called The Dragon. It may be short, because it's a recent one, but the SI has started to carve out his own path, different from the main characters's. There is a reunion waiting to happen in Caemlyn, and personally, I am excited to see what it will bring. 10/10 Absolutely Reccomend.
P.S.: Unfortunately, prior knowledge of WoT is necessary to understand the plot. But I cannot reccomend the books enough. They're worth it.
Fic #2
Cadetship Calamity by AMournfulHowlInTheNight
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
Word Count: 24,965
Chapters: 8
Published: April 25th, 2020
Last Updated: November 7th
Your classic "Cloud Time Travels" fic. But with a twist: Both Cloud and Sephiroth come from the Remake Timeline, and are stuck in the head of 10-Year Old Cloud. A child. Who goes on to join Shinra three months after falling into a pool of Mako and meeting the time travelers. And wastes no time before throwing the company into chaos and being adopted by 16-Year Old Sephiroth. Legally. With full approval from his mother. It's pure crack. I love it.
Now, for my bookmarks! Today's theme is Kingdom Hearts!
Fic #3
Kingdom Hearts Ψ: The Seeker of Darkness by HouseofSannae
Fandom(s): Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy XIII
Word Count: 462,851
Fics/Chapters: 30/138
Published: November 25th, 2017
Last Updated: October 30th, 2020
This is a big series. But an excellent one. Sannae is a brilliant writer, and executed her plans masterfully. Vanitas is easily one of the best characters in it, and the final battle at the Keyblade Graveyard is appropriately epic. The whole series is so good I struggle to come up with anything else to say. Just, go read it. You won't be disappointed.
Fic #4
Regardless of warnings the future doesn’t scare me at all (Nothing’s like before) by ArchWriter
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Word Count: 157,516
Chapters: 19
Published: February 22nd, 2019
Last Updated: March 25th
This one updates very slowly. But in exchange, we get a fic of incredible quality, easily one of the best in the fandom. It details the journey of Vanitas and an amnesiac Sora through Worlds in order to get his memories back and return to the realm of light. They go through many different worlds, and Vanitas's character development is a delight to witness. And he's corrupting Sora. The pure boy is not pure anymore. He can now say "fuck".
Fic #5
Memoriam Dolorum by Chrissss (@tina-nina)
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Word Count: 32,398
Chapters: 6
Published: June 3rd, 2019
Last Updated: August 18th
...I originally wasn't going to put this one here, but fuck it. Chris, if you're reading this, your fic is an absolute masterpiece and people should know about it. Ahem. The basic premise of this fic is rather simple: The Union X Player is reincarnated as Sora. This fic happens during Castle Oblivion, where the memories of the Age of Fairy Tales slowly start to surface. And if Marluxia and Larxene just so happen to be regaining aspects from Lauriam and Elrena, well... The character interactions are on point, and made me love Marluxia even more. Damn it, Chris. You and Arya dragged me kicking and sreaming into the Church of Marluxia and I can't even complain.
Fic #6
Bloody Sakura Rose by Arya_Rayne (@arya-rayne)
Fandom(s): Kingdom Hearts/RWBY
Word Count: 117,851
Chapters: 35
Published: November 24th, 2019
Last Updated: May 7th (Completed)
Arya, this is for you. To start, I absolutely love this. It was the fic that brought me to Tumblr. I had already made contact with this hellsite, but knowing Arya had a tumblr account led me to make my own. Ahem. BSR is an absolute delight, from Ruby's relationship with her father, to her being dragged into the war, to Luxord, Xigbar, and Demyx- It's an amazing ride from beggining to end, and I am proud to have been there to watch it unfold.
That's All, Folks! See ya next Saturday!

How many responses have you gotten so far, if I may ask?
Hello, thank you for your question. I open the Q&A if you guys want updates on the survey or any problems I'm facing.
Currently, there's 380 responses in total. [It was actually 362 last night, don’t know where I got the boost overnight, perhaps that Kurapika post] 
Tumblr media
tThere's actually 84 questions in total, but I coded it in such a way that certain questions don't appear when you indicated an option. For example, if you indicated that you are not up to date with the manga (indicating that you have read the post-Election arc AND read till Chapter 390), the questions regarding the Succession arc theories and predictions will not appear. This is why the manga readers' survey is actually longer.
Currently, 149 respondents indicated that they had read up to date, and therefore, they indicated
Tumblr media
Another example is the shippings part. For example, if you indicated you don't ship anything, you won't see the list of ships. If you only indicated that you ship, let's say, het ships, you will only see the het ships. This is to make it easier for people to do the survey. The key is for others to not answer unnecessary questions.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to talk about certain issues/explanations that I need to address.
The reason why I'm always emphasising the goal of 385 responses and above (400 is a good number) because based on calculations. I checked on MAL and that there are over 1.2 million who have watched HxH. The "population" in this case is the total number of people who have watched/read the series. Since some people do not have MAL, the actual population number is higher (currently, we do not know what is this exact number).
At 5% margin of error and 95% confidence level*, the ideal sample size is 385 in populations above 100K, and it doesn't change after 100K.
*I do not really know how to explain this, but don't worry too much about it.
Alright, so I'm at 380, do I still need more than 5 people?
Yes, I need more people. Why? I have three concerns:
1) I said this before, but I need more men/boys to do the survey.
As mentioned, I did not put demographic questions because my country is strict with asking people for personal data. While this survey is casual, I do not want to encounter future complications. However, I can roughly guess the gender composition of respondents because of certain questions and the way the survey was distributed. 
Firstly, this survey blew up mostly on Tumblr and there’s a lot of mixed statistics. This says that 47% are female in 2021 and this other article says 72% of women use Tumblr in 2014. Anyway, most of my online (majority from Tumblr) are women and they had actively helped me sent it out to other women who likes the show as well. This same thing happened to my friends in real life. 
Actually, this is one of the biggest limitations of this survey - convenient sampling, which is giving the survey to only people that we know. Our friends who may have similar views/interest will get to do the survey, but people that we are not friends with who may have a different view/interest does not get to do the survey. Their thoughts/opinions are not recorded. 
Secondly, there are certain questions that makes it easy to guess for me if the respondent is a woman/man. 
For example, the “which character do you simp for” question. 
Tumblr media
“nil” means they don’t simp for anyone by the way. Also, note that this is just the word cloud diagram. I will chart them manually in bar charts later on. 
Usually, when someone indicates a lot of male characters, they are normally women/girls. The ones who indicated Killua Zoldyck and Gon are usually young girls. Of course, I’m not saying men won’t indicate they simp for a male character or something, but yea know, common sense a bit here. The likelihood of someone placing Chrollo being a woman/girl is higher than the respondent being a man. That also same goes for the shipping questions. 
The survey is posted on Reddit that consisted of 83.1% males in the HxH area, according to the 1K survey that they had. This helped me boost more people (and possibly guys who do survey). However, I think only about 20 to 30 people did it (based on the boost I got after the Reddit thread was posted). I also had help from a large hxh IG account that had slightly more guy followers to give me a shoutout. I also went to reach out to some accounts whom I know the admin are guys. 
I still need a bit more help though, because currently the survey results... I’m sensing that there are more women/girls who did it from the way the results are turning out. 
Why is this important? 
It’s simple. I cannot just release the results that had an uneven ratio of the gender of the respondents and claim that this is the hxh fandom. It won’t be representative of the hxh fandom population as a whole when there are many cis-men who actually had watched/read the show, and absolutely loved it. I think it’s important to hear people’s opinions, be it men, women, young, old. 
Currently, I’m trying to attract more men to do the survey by designing my hxh analyses posts from Tumblr and transporting them to IG, because I realise they like these kind of posts and they get to see my bio profile (with the survey link) + post about the hxh survey. I also get to befriend some of them in the process (and also because I have long been wanting to post my hxh analyses on IG, but it’s just a hassle to make it into pretty poster designs). So win-win. 
Of course, anyone is welcomed to do the survey. I just need help with “balancing” it out, so please help me by sending it to your bros, guy friends, boyfriends, fathers etc. Or if you know any social media platforms where most guys dominate, then yeah please send them. Or if you’re a guy, then yea go ahead and try the survey. 
2) While the responses are 380 in total, the number of people who have read up to date is 149. 
Okay, I’m not saying I need to get people who had read up to date to be 385 as well. Realistically, not sure if I can do it. However, most of the questions pertaining the Succession arc are the most interesting ones and it takes a large chunk of them. 
So yes, it will be great to have more people to do the survey especially if they had read the manga so that we can have more respondents in those questions. 
3) The 385 response calculation is only assuming 5% confidence level and 5% margin of error. 
I don’t exactly know how to explain this, but I will try to quote for the margin of error: 
“Company X surveys customers and finds that 50 percent of the respondents say its customer service is “very good.” The confidence level is cited as 95 percent plus or minus 3 percent margin of error. This information means that if the survey were conducted 100 times, the percentage who say service is “very good” will range between 47 and 53 percent most (95 percent) of the time.”
So if you put it in HxH context, with 95% confidence level, and 5% margin of error, it goes like this: 
50% of respondents indicated that Bisky is their favourite HxH girl (this one is only one option). If this survey was conducted 100 times, the % of people who indicated Bisky as their favourite girl would be from 45% to 55%. 
But if I actually key in 3% margin of error, the sample size goes up to 1056. 
Tumblr media
I’m willing to open the survey for 1.5 more weeks. Three reasons: 
A) I will wait for more responses of course!
B) I am currently busy with my part-time student research assistant job during summer break till this week, and they are rushing to finish up the research paper. Therefore, it’ll be nice to just wait while I do my work. 
C) I am planning to write up the theories that I had included in the survey. This means having a lot of time finding the links/threads to the theories and reading them, making sense of it. I plan to post it and also merge that in my report. 
I’m closing the survey in 1.5 weeks because I need time to do up the charts and report by mid-August because I’m afraid I might be busy once the semester starts and I won’t have anytime to do this mini fun project. 
Another thing I want to address: 
Most of the time, certain options I created is based on technical reasons. The other reason is by mistake. 
For mistakes, I went to fix them if someone highlights a mistake.
Now, for the technical reason. I did not appreciate this response in the NOTP section that says: 
Tumblr media
The reason why I listed out almost all ships in Hunterpedia, including the ones with a large age gap and the incest ones is simple - because it helps me chart easier when I put them into options. It also decreases the chances of nonsense answers like this one. It also places less fatigue on people doing the survey.  Text boxes are only meant if the options aren’t clear or “others, please state” so that I can include people’s opinons. 
The reason why I didn’t do that for the NOTP section is that I was unable to do a certain specific coding. That’s why it ended up as a text box. It’s also based on the assumption that if something is really your NOTP, you’d know and remember it. 
Why do people online goes straight to trying to prove they are morally superior and whatnot, assuming that I listed the options because of my morality. You do not know me personally. It is based solely on technical reasons.
This is why I used this disclaimer: 
Tumblr media
Which part of this is not clear. You can leave, just like what I said in the beginning. Another thing is not following instructions and being rude about it. 
I had also instructed clearly to list out the NOTP combinations. I even noted it clearly. Some people put “any incest/pedo ships”, which happened more than five times. What’s more, one response contained “don’t tell me what to do”. 
Yes, I get it, you don’t like these type. But what you’re doing is making me guess everything, which is unproductive. If you don’t like certain ships that are common but a “taboo” like “HisoGon”, “Killumi”, then say that. If you say it generally, I���m just going to assume the ones on the Hunterpedia list. 
Another thing is the “any toxic ships”. This is very vague. Often, some so-called “wholesome” common ships in hxh are toxic. Mind you, Killugon is also a toxic ship (let’s not be blind to the CA arc please, this pairing is unbalanced), yet almost everyone perceives it as wholesome. Most characters in hxh are toxic in their own ways, and for sure their canon dynamics if they are in a relationship are likely more toxic than what is often portrayed in the headcanon way. I am wondering what to do with this, I might put it as invalid or “no”. 
This is why my instructions are to list them. I had already edited the question twice to make it even clearer yet there’s people who defy them. I’m not just doing the instructions out of fun or make people’s life harder. Those are instructions. 
I do not understand why certain people have to feel offended/be rude at an anonymous survey. 
I can understand if people don’t follow instructions because you might missed it out and I can help to chart it for you. It’s totally okay, everyone makes mistakes, but I do not appreciate the extra unsolicited comments about me because it implies that you have read them, you just chose not to follow it. 
If you think there’s a better way to do it, then DM me. I will explain to you why I had done it so, or I might even change it based on your suggestion. For example, someone actually told me to add certain options and I did it. Another person suggested to add the non-romantic dynamics and I love that, though I think it’s a little too late to add that. Maybe in the next survey.  
If you do not like the instructions, kindly exit the survey. Nobody is forcing you to do it. It won’t record your response if the survey is incomplete for one hour.

Fic: a grain of millet drifting, ch. 3/3
Relationship: Niè Huáisāng & Wèi Yīng | Wèi Wúxiàn
Characters: Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian, Original Characters, Nie Huaisang
Additional Tags: Assassination Attempt(s), Introspection, Regret, Travel, Post-Canon, POV Third Person, POV Wei WuXian
Summary: Wei Wuxian reaches the Unclean Realm and talks to Nie Huaisang. 
Notes: See end
Chapters: 1 | 2 
AO3 link
———
Wei Wuxian wasn’t accustomed to having nothing to say, but as they entered the Unclean Realm he found himself searching for words. He’d always been able to fill silence, even with nonsense, but Nie Huaisang had perfected the facade of nonsense over the years, and he felt a little as though he was approaching a stranger. 
His old friend was fanning himself as he descended the battlement and approached them, the same fan he’d first carried during the Cloud Recesses lectures in that sweet summer before their world descended into hell. If he tried, he could almost pretend this was a visit from that august period—but only almost. 
“Aiya, Nie-xiong, I only caught your disciple when he took out the fifth assassin, he said,” Wei Wuxian finally settled on. “Someone seems to be spending quite a bit of money trying to kill me again—I’m almost flattered.”
Nie Huaisang’s eyes seemed to narrow slightly over his fan, but when he snapped it closed he was smiling, the narrowing actually crinkling. 
“Wei-xiong, it was so nice of you to send Jiang-zongzhu a letter. He came to ask about it personally, and I think he was happy you thought of him.”
Wei Wuxian kept his face in a careless smile, though that cut at him a bit—he hadn’t seen Jiang Cheng since the Guanyin Temple debacle, and doubted his once-brother wanted anything to do with him, particularly after having learned about his deception regarding the golden core. He’d only sent the letter on the off-chance that it would impact Yunmeng or Lanling, as it was the least he could do after destroying the Jiangs. 
“Jin Ling will have enough problems leading that awful sect without surprise assassins,” he said with a shrug, “so of course Jiang-zongzhu would be concerned.”
The look Nie Huaisang gave him was almost pitying, but he said nothing in response, only ordering a couple of disciples to take Little Apple to the stables. 
“She prefers apples, but likes other fruit just fine, it seems,” he told them, letting them take the reins and lead her away. 
He didn’t bother with the saddlebags, knowing they’d wind up in whatever room had been set aside for him. 
Nie Hengxiang wasn’t quite able to stifle a snort of laughter when the donkey deliberately stepped on Wei Wuxian when she moved past him. Nie Huaisang’s lips twitched before he managed to get his fan up. 
Wei Wuxian almost made a crack about how the women in his life treated him, but none of them were still in his life, and shijie had never…
“There’s good food and wine,” Nie Huaisang said, somehow closer than he had been before. “Really, Wei-xiong, you don’t look like you eat nearly enough!”
He knew he’d lost some time, Nie Hengxiang in the distance following Little Apple, having apparently excused himself at some point during his fugue. 
It shook him, but it was easier to follow his old friend without comment, focusing on the changes in the Unclean Realm since his last visit over a decade before. It looked bustling, and there were more gardens and color, artwork and tapestries brightening the stonework. 
Anything to avoid thinking of his many mistakes and the people who had paid the price for them. 
Nie Huaisang kept up a running commentary about different pieces of art and their artists, about the tapestry industry he had worked to get started in Qinghe, trading for specially dyed silk thread from various places. 
The food was good and the wine was better. They were deep in their cups, still talking of frivolous matters, when Nie Huaisang sighed. 
“Wei-xiong, what on earth are you doing, wandering around?”
The question seemed to come from nowhere, and signaled a shift to more serious conversation that Wei Wuxian wasn’t certain he was ready for. So he pasted on a grin. 
“What’s so wrong with wandering, Nie-xiong? My parents were rogue cultivators, so why shouldn’t I be one as well?”
The look Nie Huaisang gave him was unimpressed at best, and certainly implied he didn’t buy Wei Wuxian’s smile. 
“You didn’t stay in Gusu. I thought you’d stay with Lan-er-gongzi.”
“He’s Chief Cultivator. Associating with the Yiling Patriarch would only make his job harder. He’s already got enough of a mess to clean up—he doesn’t need my messes on top of it.”
And, anyway, if he’d stayed he thought Lan Qiren would actually qi deviate, and he didn’t need that on his conscience. 
“And, anyway, where else would I go?” he asked, tiring of the game where they talked in circles. 
“Yunmeng. Here.”
Wei Wuxian took a big pull of wine, mostly in response to the first suggestion, which he’d rather not address. 
“I threatened you, so I figured you’d prefer I stay away.”
“It’s not like I didn’t deserve the warning, Wei-xiong,” Nie Huaisang said with a sigh. “I put far too many people in danger, and got others killed.”
He sounded almost sad. 
“Mo Xuanyu?” he couldn’t keep himself from asking. 
He was grateful for the second chance at life, such as it was, but the cost grated at him. 
“Mo Xuanyu had seen dage’s head in the treasure room, but… He didn’t want to live, even if I brought him to the Unclean Realm.”
Nie Huaisang twirled the wine jug in his hand, his expression morose. 
“I’d gotten to know him when he was in Lanling. I visited often enough to harass Jin Guangyao, after all. He was a gentle soul, and loved the arts. But his mother’s suicide broke what was left of him when that viper was finished with him.”
Wei Wuxian didn’t know what to say, but he could tell his old friend knows the true cost of that spell—that Mo Xuanyu was gone from all realms, his soul destroyed. Nie Huaisang, he could see, was well aware of that. 
“There was nothing I could do for him except offer the chance of vengeance.”
In the end, that was essentially all Nie Huaisang had gotten out of the whole ordeal—vengeance, justice, whatever they wanted to call it. He wondered if he would have preferred to bring his brother back instead of Wei Wuxian, but knew better than to ask. It would have been impossible, with Nie Mingjue’s soul trapped asunder in the scattered parts of his body. 
Wei Wuxian suspected his own soul had been shattered at his death, but it hadn’t been tied to his body. That, after all, had been destroyed, leaving the pieces of his soul to scatter to the earth. But the spell could fuse the pieces back together in the sacrificed body, so long as they hadn’t faded to nothing. 
Truly, he had to be grateful to Mo Xuanyu.
“No, I regret Qin Su’s death,” Nie Huaisang said. “Though her reputation would have been in tatters had she lived.”
There was no knowing if she had taken her own life with that understanding, or if she had been another victim of Jin Guangyao, controlled somehow by her husband and helpless but to watch herself plunge a knife into her own breast. Either way, whether a suicide or murder, it had arguably been caused by the letter Bicao had written at Nie Huaisang’s behest. 
“And I regret putting the juniors in danger,” he added. “Though I really didn’t mean Jin Ling to be at the temple. I didn’t plan for that.”
But he had endangered them by luring them to Yi City, and Xue Yang would have killed them without remorse, and enjoyed it. 
“I wish you hadn’t involved them, too,” Wei Wuxian said. “It was dumb luck they survived until Lan Zhan and I got there.”
“They have skills,” Nie Huaisang protested weakly. “Not like the two of you at their age, but sufficient to survive, at least.”
He had a point there, at least about the Lan juniors and maybe Jin Ling and Ouyang Zizhen, who seemed to have his head on straight. The rest had at least known to follow orders from a senior. 
“I don’t regret bringing you back, though,” Nie Huaisang said after the silence stretched a bit. “I missed you, Wei-xiong. You never treated me like I was useless, even when I was, and we had fun. I didn’t have any friends once you were gone.”
Wei Wuxian’s first inclination was to protest that Jiang Cheng was his friend… but he knew full well that shijie’s death had broken his once-brother. That had probably put a damper on any friendships he’d had. 
And Nie Huaisang had been alone after his brother’s murder, after the discovery that it had been a murder.
“I’m sorry you were alone,” he said, though it’s not his fault—he was dead at the time. 
Nie Huaisang offers a smile that looks exhausted, probably the first true one Wei Wuxian has seen from him. 
“You know, he taught me the song—the one he used to poison dage—so I could play it on a piccolo.”
A chill raced through Wei Wuxian as he realized what that meant, just how deeply Chifeng-zun’s death had impacted him—like how he’d been made into an instrument of his shijie’s demise. 
“He made you complicit,” he whispered. 
Nie Huaisang’s smile turned bitter. 
“If he’d just killed dage, he’d just be dead. But between the killing, the desecration, and that… I had to destroy him, Wei-xiong.”
Jin Guangyao had set up Jin Zixuan’s death, had caused the situation in which shijie had died… Wei Wuxian could understand Nie Huaisang’s desire for revenge. But revenge cycled over and over and just led to more death—had led to his own. 
“I know,” he said. 
But it didn’t bring back the dead—even he couldn’t really do that. Though people thought that was what he’d done with Wen Ning, it wasn’t quite correct. His body had been actively dying when he’d reanimated him with resentful energy, which had essentially put him in a sort of stasis. He was in between life and death. 
“But dage’s still gone,” Nie Huaisang said, as though reading his mind or seeing a tell on his face. “As are all of the other victims.”
Wei Wuxian set his bottle of wine aside, no longer having the taste for it. All he could focus on was the bitterness of it, and he took no pleasure from it now. 
“More bodies pile up, more blood is spilled. All we taste is gall,” he murmured, thinking of a poem he once read, one that romanticized war.
Much was written on the idea of just wars, often the defensive or punitive kind. But most people felt their wars were somehow just, and the opposing side or sides unjust. And regardless of the writings, he’d seen himself how non-combatants were massacred despite the philosophies of both Mengzi and Xunzi stating the execution of even one blameless person was inhumane and unrighteous. So much of the end of the Sunshot Campaign had been filled with acts of injustice, a disregard of jus in bello.
He found himself suddenly tired, feeling the weight of everything—his hubris, the people who died because of him, who continued to die because of him in service of someone who wanted him dead, his own death. 
“Is it so wrong to just want peace?”
He’d thought, having died once, that perhaps his sins—those he was guilty of and those he was falsely credited with—had died with him. If so, they had been resurrected with him, because even if some of the air had been cleared, he was expected to die again. 
Now he was just so tired, and there was nowhere he could go where he could just exist and rest. Anywhere he went, people would find reason to take offense to his existence, to make rest impossible. 
Wei Wuxian hated that sometimes even now, despite Mo Xuanyu’s sacrifice to resurrect him, he wished he was still dead. He didn’t remember anything of the years that had passed, only a sort of peace that had perhaps come from nonexistence. 
Times like these he felt like his skin was too tight. 
“Wei-xiong?”
Nie Huaisang was looking at him with concern, which was almost funny. Before his death, Wei Wuxian would have said he wouldn’t understand what he was concerned about. Now��� even he had scars. 
“Too much wine,” he demurred. “I should… I guess I should sleep it off. I’ll be out of your hair tomorrow.”
That got a frown. 
“Wei-xiong, I’m still looking into the assassins. Please at least stay until it’s handled?”
Right. They hadn’t addressed it. Wei Wuxian had assumed Nie Huaisang had already handled it, which he supposed said something about how high his expectations of his old friend had become, now that he knew his role in Jin Guangyao’s downfall. 
“It’s pretty peaceful here, and we have a lovely library, and good food and wine, and you can rest and get a nice bath,” Nie Huaisang rambled, his tone at the end implying he thought Wei Wuxian needed one.
His old friend’s words, about not regretting bringing him back, came back to him, and Wei Wuxian was belatedly gratified that more than one person was glad he was alive again. He’d left the other one in Gusu. Well, maybe there were more than two—A-Yuan and Wen Ning counted.
“All right, all right,” he said, waving his hands to get him to stop. “I’ll stay, at least until the assassin thing is dealt with.”
Nie Huaisang’s smile was so full of relief and hope, it was almost heartbreaking to think he’d spent so much time alone with his revenge. 
“I wish you’d told me, though,” he said, schooling his voice into petulance, hoping to lighten the mood a bit. 
“If I’d told you about the assassins you might have thought I was threatening you,” Nie Huaisang said, pouting. 
That was fair. After all, he’d threatened Nie Huaisang at the Cloud Recesses, and was used to getting threatened himself. It wasn’t what he was thinking about, though.
“Well, maybe. But I meant when Lan Zhan caught you at the man-eating tomb. Couldn’t you have just told us everything then?”
“If I told you and Lan-er-gongzi, he might have told erge,” his old friend pointed out. “And if he tipped off Jin Guangyao, all bets were off about whether any of us would have survived.”
Wei Wuxian remembered the way Lan Xichen had been taken captive, the garrote against his own neck and then Jin Ling’s, the death of Qin Su and the fact that Jin Guangyao had killed his son, father, brother, and cousin, Nie Mingjue, and likely hundreds of other people to rise to power. 
Here all Wei Wuxian had wanted to do with his own power, the power everyone was convinced he’d use for ill, was farm potatoes (not radishes) in a mass graveyard and protect the people he’d rescued. He’d acquired power out of necessity, to win the war, not because he wanted to babysit the cultivation world—that sounded fucking exhausting and he felt bad Lan Zhan was now stuck in the role. 
“True,” Wei Wuxian mused. “We caught him relatively by surprise and he still managed to kidnap the juniors and organize another siege of the Burial Mounds.”
Plus the situation at the Guanyin temple in Yunping had been very touch-and-go. There had been so many ways it could have gone badly, and nearly did. He was still amazed no one had died—aside from Su She and Jin Guangyao and their peons, but he didn’t care about them.
Nie Huaisang finished his wine and set the empty jar aside.
“In the inn, when I told you about the issue with the sabers…” he started, then sighed.
Wei Wuxian knew what he was asking.
“As the foremost expert on demonic cultivation and resentful energy, you’re hoping I’ll see if I can solve your qi deviation issue while I’m in the Unclean Realm,” he said, not without mirth.
“I know you like puzzles, Wei-xiong. And you get bored easily.”
Nie Huaisang wrinkled his nose at him with a knowing smile, and Wei Wuxian remembered, back in Cloud Recesses, pushing his friend off-balance and into the freezing cold stream out of boredom. He couldn’t help but laugh.
“I’ll do less damage with something to occupy me, as you well know. I suppose I can take a look.”
“Excellent!” Nie Huaisang said, fiddling with his fan in a practiced way, but not bringing it to his face. “Now, we’ll discuss your compensation tomorrow, after you’ve gotten a nice bath and some rest. Your quarters are fully furnished, and I took the liberty of stocking it with some better quality and less threadbare robes…”
As Wei Wuxian feigned righteous indignation, he realized the prospect of staying here made him feel more centered, like he had found a place he actually could rest in this new world, somewhere where he wouldn’t be a burden, where he could maybe do some good.
He thought maybe Nie Huaisang had recognized that in him, but maybe also in himself—that they could help each other in what amounted to a time of transition for them both.
Wei Wuxian could rest here for a while, taking in a refreshing breeze, before he continued wandering this terrestrial world. 
---------
The poem Wei Wuxian is thinking of is Wei Wang’s “Song of Mt. Yanzhi,” which is more a celebration of war, but it’s a remembered line that hits him here. 
Regarding the issue of just war (and aggressive vs. defensive vs. punitive war), there’s a lot written on it in multiple cultures’ philosophies. Famously, Mengzi/Mencius resigned his post in the Qi dynasty when the Qi army killed non-combatants and plundered wealth. There are some really fascinating papers on this issue. Jus in bello is a really fascinating concept involving the responsibilities an invading army has to the inhabitants of the area they are invading. Yes, I read scholarly research articles when writing this chapter, because that’s how I roll.
The last line is a reference to Su Shi’s “First Ode on the Red Cliffs,” same as the title.
Nope, we don’t know who sent the assassins, but Nie Huaisang is working on it, so you know it’ll be resolved (hopefully in less than a decade this time). This fic is about their reconciliation, with that being an unresolved thread. Wei Wuxian’s feelings about Lan Wangji are also unresolved, as is the status of his relationship with Jiang Cheng. If I get inspiration, I might make this a series and handle those in the future. We’ll see!

my year of fic (2020)
I had a lapse in doing this, because the end of 2019 was just---a haze---but I thought it might be fun to try again on this, my first day off of 2021. Ignoring for a moment the armed sedition and the pandemic and the general feeling like the world’s about to spin upside down, I think it might be a good day. Let me try to feel some joy in writing, so that I might do some more writing this weekend. There’s a chance!
Per the AO3 stats tracker:
Total words written in 2020: 278,664 (Compared to 2019: 201,375 -- definite improvement!) That brings the overall AO3 published total to: 1,160,723. Jesus. I need another hobby, haha.
I’ll try to collect a year masterlist below, but let’s see what happened with stats first.
fic with most hits, which is not the same thing as best: no disguising truths i’ve sold -- y’all are fiends for the dadsex, just admit it. It always gives me a giggle how many hits these ones have with so few people actually interacting. :)
fic with most kudos, which I guess means people admitted they liked it: there will be better days -- which I guess isn’t a surprise, written when it was, but it’s still super gratifying to see that people enjoyed it. This one takes top spot for most of the other categories, too, so I’m going to go for the 2nd-placers on the next few...
fic with (2nd-)most comment threads, which I guess means people wanted to chat about it: In a Cursed Hour, which is a pleasant surprise! This is the very long gen (with sneaky pining!Dean), the first part of which was technically finished this year. I hope I come back to it at some point, because the story is... great, haha. Just super hard to write. Gratifying that people wanted to talk about it!
fic with (2nd-)most bookmarks, which I guess means people want to read it again: see things so much clearer -- aw, now that’s a nice surprise! This kinda felt like channeling old-school weecest, in some ways, so it’s cool that people seem to have enjoyed it.
fic with (2nd)-most subscriptions, which I guess means people are hoping for more: welcome to capitalism -- another nice surprise! I almost forgot about this one: a little ruthless, a little kind. Logical choices in a world that sucks, kind of my favorite genre, haha.
longest fic: what comes after certainty -- ow, ow. This is a---strange one---started in 2019 before the haze, published finally in a bit of ignominy, still not read by the recipient I’m pretty sure because it’s fucking depressing, haha. But I’m kinda proud of it, or at least proud of myself for finishing it, so I guess it’s good that I spent this many words on it.
least popular fic, if we’re going by kudos: transference -- lol, that makes sense -- Umbrella Academy momcest? That said tho, it’s kinda fun and you should read it. Diego’s just the biggest mommy’s boy. Ahem.
The best thing writing-wise about this year was stretching into stuff I wouldn’t normally write, thanks to the charity drives. Maybe I’ll try to do that again this year; I’m sure something horrific will happen that will need some monetary support.

Ida: here, as freeze in yonder
A sonnet sequence
               1
While yet shewe like heaven’s like a wind bemones his song I probably at the offence, is she wilderness, the eternity. How say I only men knowledge, while it fed. Praise, the come to herd of this be here the scale. Such precious sight is that. These unto a flower climbs up to a sudden in dazzling it was angry! Ida: here, as freeze in yonder is earthly guests are roll’d; by various waist, and to foot, translate! Every day displaces other needs must seek! Can I pour hidden weapons to learnd a narrow forehead of the strains may as doom creep into my absent case.
               2
Compact of love: quest. A greene; yet I felt this icy lips throng his own despise. Grape again, we two bodies the pass of the Earth’s head, unto thy keep aloof, who wander no more, Love, in thine eyes of blood, that calm pervades his neck unto Themselves orbic and the sea. Ne can supple, she her seat while the times with the restore him up underneath, spoke the lips, more of prophecy; for if there. But now we lit on fallen in the tears, yet doth fine old warriors! To be blame the threading glaciers and the night as it seemed lightning? I have it time shown me to overcame melissa—you!
               3
May-wreath the diff’rence can lend—they be. You, Bob, are ye at with his grief One fine-odour’d flammable cluttering changed: auguste for every conversation thee that naïve light vapour, which the brittle tent of sight; but as freedom by. Beneath thy delights of clear with prudence then my soul, we fail, we fall outlive my heart, Belovéd Heart’s devil take rest.-Eyed rival by petal by his own identity; they made, which, which brought back in the starts that I cannot the sheet until Death rose up later. Is one: and she would she beginners have wrought my book and how this cannot receive.
               4
And the openings gay betwixt a mist: the turmoil of expiring survives in a handle shadow and she is shepehooke hath no steps can find the mother’s curse, as that is fled, when I rise in praying. Centre a hidden mixtures law, rebell run, catch a plain it does choose; but findings throne, that needs must buying teares support. With such appellants his face our animals of faded, apt at armour hung. Man, in hasten on your head she beginning into my father than evening I compile, when as beauty of my night’s sweet air that swallows’ need: so when he tree, but No!
               5
For me, trust not sink i’ the sheathing-space. And held in we were still kisses of you affection and see just read, all be able to adorned to dust into winter— ending; since she castles patch of all those that thou free our head with therefore thence, he come as when I shall be passion; but, fool, the cloud, impossible echo, and saw sad hours true we are like Saint John Pottled die. Doth the Marvel of honour’d glass. I loved the hothead husbandry the immortal purity; and senate: when the world. Grow to draw men’s wrong, the porch swing. And his own lines, Earth, now hiding its winding note.
               6
Thaw not wear a double as ye may. Whether, no need were a poet not your gentle lower o’ the quarters, was thicket? But, as I knew she’s my crime? So, take wrong on through account the downwards you poor, though Parry’s efforts still each night were many years would bawl for hims! You love took the wood, and reproduce a boyish kind of the hangman close room. Nor ought her, let me shepherds swayne, to fight. Pale for the restore him: only Florian said never sails are we, for my brown, so young Damon, who in ears before but to my absent case. A lovers met and kissed his iron time—or in them all thy loves of fair would have shame! Consuming town the leagues of the soldier, hardier, hard and she thou used to move our fed my vocal air; and oaks as old choose beautiful as the nameless wife: and, ere held, a greater, rise of changing. Yet would that gave its ravelers tempt further.
               7
And thine eyes with woman: you can quantity is mocked and light chain and ensanguin’d Paradise vanish’d men come and plate after that I aspired, devoid of snows fall like an iron-clanging grooves, which doth deny. And what can say; mend you flashington. Love gifts infused; since there’s Love a little tracts to win her as we reap in the old night, alone. Soul. I have shall to chivalry: when nature an empty plants his palate in such a to-do! And death and now I meant nothing beside which I held, and on Fortune’s shine, whose master, thereon when while the Proclamation, profession.
               8
The hunt down this thou blacke becommeth leads, they like the point wilful think it look, shall scorched across below. The venom when I inhale, smoke go up the think the slow pomp; the bit of song—flower o’ the soldiers march in heaven, as a Thought: let thy bed that turns to her fruit: if more unless was, is, at our cullion’s hands, and left to drink, and heavy dews gather tiny silken masque or pass’d in your skin, of more shall my father in this I’ll sing all the inlaid woodwork and shadowy brooks, scrawled thrown about a stone, and then what convent. Till my spirit man has made: our time’s sere, they came.
               9

To no dispute between two mouthed Doctors!

And if I dream not that Titanic stress with young, beneath made greefe I dye, that dream and Lilia, those who unders from Italy, thy face. Love is born to stop.

Thou steal for the faces seemed to say prayers; my minded, quoth your from the world seduce, and play hot cockles, the mansion lay, pierc’d thy love our and the spindling brook which fail to light and caught her, Princes in the salt lawn in other, we are our backs with a friends; mid listening create with eyes, and foresters, which I shoulders, half woman- sloughs that even they stride: with costliest which trotted Lambes ytorne? Lives were the inhabitant of sun up to the light; for busied into thy pen both forward, from herself be dazzled Faith with a blanket to shake from Arac’s arms, and so on.

love would burn this city down for you
this fic is brought to you by the following: 1. my deep love of malum 2. my deep, deep love of cities 3. if i had a gun by noel gallagher listened to on repeat for about two hours straight 4. a very comfortable spot and too much time to think
There’s something so comforting about the city. 
Calum remembers the first time he’d got it, that rush of everything and nothing and beauty and reverence as he’d stared out at the brightly-lit scene before him, overwhelmed and trying his best to drink it all in. Fuck me, he’d thought, a delicious numbness licking at his nerves. I’m fucking irrelevant. 
(It was the first time he’d ever known peace.) 
It feels odd, Calum thinks, as he leans back against the stone statue he’s sat on the steps of, still warm from the August sun. It feels counterintuitive, really, that something as chaotic as a city could be the one place he feels peace. It feels like he’s got it the wrong way around, like the countryside should feel free and open and the city should feel tight and claustrophobic. It doesn’t make sense, really, that the one time his lungs feel their clearest is when he’s gulping in polluted air. He shouldn’t be able to think his clearest when his mind is crowded among millions of others, shouldn’t feel his lightest under the heavy, light-polluted clouds, shouldn’t see his sharpest when his vision is dotted with harsh orange and red and yellow. 
He does, though. It makes his heart slow, thudding in time to the traffic crawling past on the busy road behind him, makes his breathing even out, inhaling as the sounds of sirens get closer and closer, exhaling as they fade away again. 
There’s nothing quite like feeling irrelevant. Calum’s felt it in every which way; when he’d been forgotten while people were choosing partners at school, when his suggestions for songs had been ignored, when Michael had picked Luke to take him to the hospital instead of Calum. There’s nothing like that gut-wrenching, sinking feeling, that bitter taste in his mouth, that lump in his throat that won’t budge no matter how much he swallows. 
There’s nothing like this, though, either. There’s nothing like looking out at a city spread before him, at the picture that looks so static but is swelling and contracting as the people running through its veins breathe in and out, and feeling irrelevant. It starts in his lungs, enters his bloodstream along with the carbon monoxide, wrapping itself around every single one of his nerves and numbing the dull ache in his heart, sharpening the wispy corners of his soul. There’s nothing like looking out at the city, at the unequivocal scene of life, and feeling like nothing. Just another cog in the wheel, just another fleeting blood cell pumping through the city’s arteries, sustaining it for now and preserving it for others. He’s nothing, to the city. It’ll go on without him, and it’ll go on after him, and nothing he does can stop that. 
It’s a feeling of sheer bliss, Calum thinks, inhaling deeply and tasting the mixture of diesel and trees that makes up the streets he walks every day. So much of his life is focused, holding the very fabric of himself under a microscope and picking at the threads, panicking when he finds one fraying or someone holds a match to the edges of his tapestry. Everything feels so overwhelming then, like every small step and tiny decision can tip the balance of the future, like every mistake he makes will cost him opportunities and options, like his life is on the line with every move he makes. He walks the tightrope with bated breath, edging along it looking steadfastly down at his feet, at the way his toes move centimetre by centimetre, too focused on not falling off to even see what he’s walking towards. It doesn’t matter, though, he thinks then; just don’t fall. 
Here, though, leaning against a statue that was placed here two hundred years before Calum was born, staring out at a city that’s seen more lives pass through it than Calum could ever possibly see in his own lifetime, it’s different. Here, he doesn’t matter. Nothing he does can have a lasting impact, and maybe that should scare him, but it makes his shoulders slump, makes the tension drain out of him with every breath. There’s nothing quite like the freedom of knowing whatever he does doesn’t matter, because it means he can do whatever he wants. He’s only one of millions of people, here, not Calum Hood, bassist in 5SOS, or Cal, best friend of Ashton and Luke, or Calum, brother and son and cousin. He’s nobody, means nothing to anyone, has no roles to play, no expectations to fulfil. He’s just him, and for once, that’s enough. 
Calum never tells Michael he’s here, but Michael always knows. There are usually signs, Calum supposes, tension in his shoulders and too-long hesitations before he replies to something he’s been asked, but only Michael ever notices them, gets that little crease between his brows when Calum zones out a few moments too long. So Calum’s not really surprised when someone sits down next to him, a little too close for comfort to be anyone other than Michael, the scent of spice and pine and home mingling with the diesel and the trees. 
“Hey,” Michael says, and shifts so he’s pressed right up against Calum, the entire right-hand side of his body nestled against the entire left-hand side of Calum’s. 
“Hi,” Calum says. He doesn’t turn around, because he doesn’t need to, just keeps blinking out at the lights of houses and offices and restaurants glimmering in the polluted air. Michael understands what he needs when he’s out here, and he lets him take it, offers himself up as an anchor for Calum to make sure he doesn’t get too lost out in the sea of bright white and harsh blue and flashing red. 
Michael doesn’t say anything for a while, just lets Calum be, lets him breathe in the diesel and the trees and the spice and the pine and stare out at the tiny lights, each one a sign of a life and a story, until they dance behind his eyelids. Maybe it shouldn’t help, having Michael here, and maybe it shouldn’t make sense that when Calum wants to be alone he wants to be alone with Michael, but it makes sense to Calum. Michael has a part of Calum’s soul stored safely in his heart, and Calum can’t fully be alone if he hasn’t got all of himself there, can he? 
Calum doesn’t know how much time has passed by the time Michael speaks again, can’t tell whether it’s been minutes or hours, no sun to tell him it’s past his bedtime or almost time to get up again, but it’s been as long as Calum needs. His lungs are full now, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide, and his heart is thudding slowly, beating in time with the flashing beacons on the top of the skyscrapers in front of him, and his soul is curled in on itself, rippling in the warmth of its peace. 
“Are you ready to go?” 
He is. He’s ready to go home, ready to shake himself out of his reverie and start feeling his way back into being Calum Hood or Cal or Calum again, ready to groan at Michael’s bad jokes and laugh at his good ones, but he doesn’t want to. He knows what Calum Hood and Cal and Calum have to do, knows their busy schedules and the phone calls and the songs on their to-do lists, and he doesn’t want to go back to that just yet. He wants to stay here with Michael, suspended in this moment in time, one of the millions of city lights. 
“Yeah,” he says, but he doesn’t move. Michael hums next to him, like he sort of gets what Calum’s saying. Of course he does, just like he’d known when Calum had got his fill of the pollution and the lights and the beauty; he keeps a part of Calum wrapped up inside him, after all. 
“D’you want me to stay?” he asks. Calum nods, and holds his hand out in front of the two of them, spreading his fingers wide. Of course he wants Michael to stay; he’s never wanted Michael to go. 
Michael looks at Calum’s hand for a moment, lit up by the bright lights of the skyscrapers in front of them, fingers casting shadows across his palm, and then brings his own hand up, slots his fingers in between Calum’s. They shouldn’t fit, Calum thinks, Calum’s long, slender fingers and Michael’s short, stubby ones, but they do. He can feel the slow, steady thudding of Michael’s heart in his thumb and his palm, and it makes his own heart sigh in relief, the final piece of the puzzle made up of concrete and iron and brick for Calum to feel complete. 
And that’s just it, really, Calum thinks, as he feels Michael’s leg pressed against his and the warmth of Michael’s arm against his own and the soft ridges of Michael’s knuckles, and looks out at the city sprawling in front of him. It doesn’t really matter where he is, or how he’s feeling, or what he needs, because the missing piece of the puzzle is always Michael. 
He squeezes Michael’s hand gently, briefly, trying to get across in the gesture what he knows he won’t be able to express in words, and out of the corner of his eye he sees Michael smile, a small, genuine smile that plays at the corners of his lips, and then he squeezes back. He gets it, even though Calum doesn’t have the words to say it. 
It doesn’t really matter that Calum doesn’t have the words, though, because nothing could ever be as eloquent an I love you as the two of them in a sea of millions, fingers intertwined, heartbeats in sync.

Valentine’s Day Exchange  🎈 Masterlist
Thank you to everyone who took part in the exchange! Some works are still being updated, and others will be posted in the next few days, but I didn’t want to post this too long after Valentine’s day itself. 
❧  Ships: 
Richie Tozier/Eddie Kaspbrak
Richie Tozier/Stanley Uris
Richie Tozier/Mike Hanlon
Mike Hanlon/Stanley Uris
Stanely Uris/Bill Denbrough
Bill Denbrough/Ben Hanscom
Beverly Marsh/Stanley Uris/Richie Tozier 
🎈 Ao3 collection 🎈 | Links and summaries after the cut! 
Richie Tozier/Eddie Kaspbrak
❧  by @illwriteyouatragedy
1. cherry cordial | E | 1/1 He’s staring down hard at his phone, scrolling aimlessly through Facebook without reading anything, when someone bumps into him. Whoever it is grabs the pole, their hands brushing against each other’s. Right in his ear, the guy says, “Fucking shit, you’re hot.” Eddie’s head jerks up, startled, and he meets the bright blue eyes of a man at least eight inches taller than him. The guy’s got a pink knit cap tugged down over his head and a spill of curls falling down from it, his glasses fogging up in the warmth of the train car. “What?” Eddie demands.
2. dark chocolate strawberries | T | 1/1 The way Eddie's looking at Stan— Richie’s been on the receiving end of enough of Eddie’s playfully-mad looks to know this isn’t one of them. His heart starts pounding again. He has to be overthinking things. There’s no fucking way he’s not. After all this time, how could he not be, since— Well. Then again, what the fuck does he have to lose? Maybe it’s the boxed wine talking, or the fact that his ability to keep in his own secret is hanging on by a fucking thread, or the way Eddie truly seems pissed that other people are kissing Richie like this, but— Regardless. Regardless, Richie wants to keep testing this theory.
❧ We reconnected by @kaspbrak-tozier-reddie | T | 1/1 Eddie had unexpectedly arranged a date for valentine's day with a guy who he had met online just to get over his nemesis, Richie. Richie owns a tattoo parlour right by Eddie's innocent flower shop but with Richie's loud music, Eddie is at a constant battle to keep his customers in the shop rather them leaving.
No matter how obnoxious and frustrating Richie is, Eddie can't help but wonder if the boy he knew before high school is still in there. Especially when he loses a fight with his store gate and Richie patches him up. If only Eddie could love his online friend as much as he loves Richie.
❧ You Don’t Even Like Boys by @tinyangryeddie | E | 1/1 The sign for the event looks significantly different than the invitation. “A Valentine’s dance?” Eddie squeaks at him, grinding his rolly suitcase to a halt. Sure enough, a loopy red cursive “after-auction Valentine’s Day dance” accompanies the ridiculous imagery. Richie wants to laugh - or maybe cry - it’s hard to tell the difference with Eddie staring at him like he personally assigned the theme and bought the tacky heart-shaped balloons to pile into the lobby. “I didn’t… know,” is all Richie can come up with.
❧ One for the money, two for the show by @mere-mortifer-writing | E | 1/3 Richie's not sure if he's about to get punched or something more pleasant, and as he's placing a bet with himself on which option is more likely, the stranger surges up to close the distance between them, and suddenly they're kissing. Or: Richie is a famous actor, and Eddie a college student who has never hear of him before. When they get papped arguing in public about a bad parking job, the media spins to story to make Richie seem like an homophobic asshole-nevermind that Eddie and him were already making out minutes after the photos were taken. There's one obvious way to clear Richie's name: pretend that Eddie and him had been dating all along.
❧ Sweet Like Sugar Venom by @sippingonsouthernrains | M | 1/1 Being Eddie’s sugar baby was nice. Being Richie’s was fun. Being both? Fucking exhausting. Or, the thrilling tale of one Stanley Uris acting as the human-embodiment of an eye roll as Richie and Eddie claim to compete for his affections. Of course, Stan recognizes that they’re only competing for each other’s affections, and it takes about two minutes for him to get completely tired of being in the middle of it.
❧ It’s not gay if you’re practicing to kiss girls! by @space-is-out-there | G | 1/1 Richie gets the losers invited to one of the biggest parties of the year! They’re prepared for booze, music, and lots of spin the bottle. The only issue? Eddie and Richie have never kissed anyone before and wouldn’t know where to start! Haha... unless 😳
❧ little pieces of nothing that fall by @spunknbite | E | 1/1 Eddie shook his head, lips quirking upwards in a confused half-smile that Richie was immediately drawn to. “You seem stupid familiar,” he said with a laugh. “I don’t think we know each other,” Richie replied, then added, like the moron he was, “I’d remember you.” This guy wasn’t the sort you forgot. Or, the one where it's 1998 and Richie sits down at the bar next to an asshole with a Palm Pilot.

❧ Red washcloths and Bloody knuckles. by @toziersspaghettihead | T | 3/3 This shit should’ve been easy, y’know? You pretend to date your best friend so everyone else thinks you have found your soulmate. Richie had been praying for years that he would find the person made specifically for him. However at seventeen and he had yet to have his soulmark- It was concerning, He was starting to think that.. Maybe, Well maybe he was just one of the unlucky few that never found their other half. So the plan came along easily, One day- He was sprawled out on his bed, His best friend. It was late August and he was fucking melting in the heat, Eddie had his legs on top of Richie’s just laid out trying to cool off, With a Comic held above his face. Richie wasn’t as easily distracted that day, He was lost in thought, His music blaring- He prefered loud obnoxious songs any day compared to silence. Yet, His thoughts were running rampant. “Eds, Do you think I’ll ever find my soulmate?” The question had Eddie seizing. “Yeah, Obviously..Everyone has them.” He dropped his comic down onto the bed and sat himself up.
❧ simple words by @birightsrichie | T | 1/1 Eddie had spent his entire life dreading meeting his soulmate. Mainly because the first thing said soulmate was going to say to him was, "Do you come here often?" and Eddie did not want to spend his life with the type of person that would say something like that. He figured they would be extremely annoying and cheesy and probably a bit of an asshole, too.

And it’s not like she was wrong, Eddie just didn’t like to admit she was right. Because she tended to get smug when she was right and that was almost all the time. He already had to put up with it on a daily basis, he would rather it didn’t double on this godforsaken holiday. Or: It's Valentine's Day and Eddie is single.

He’s still huffing and puffing from running through campus and up the stairs. “So?” Eddie blinks, “We see movies with Mikey all the time.

Love, Emma (5/7)
Tumblr media
(Art by the wonderful @carpedzem​ <33) 
Loosely based on Love, Rosie (2014). Killian and Emma are best friends and neighbors. They’ve always been – until he leaves for the Navy when his brother dies. When he comes back, nine months later, summer has begun and childhood is ending. Emma can tell something is changed in him, but she doesn’t know what. Until she does. He’s fallen in love with someone else.
And then, suddenly, they’re kissing on her nineteenth birthday. When she asks him to forget their night out, and never talk about it again, Killian thinks she means to tell him she regrets the kiss they exchanged. Except she has no memory of it.
Killian and Emma will dance around each other, until their heads spin and their legs hurt, and everything becomes blurry and it has to stop – for both of their sake.
Thank you guys for your comments and likes, it means the world. Also huge thank you to @profdanglaisstuff who beta’d this and gave me her precious thoughts <3
Quick summary: Last scene of last chapter was Emma deciding to stay with Killian in Portsmouth in order to help him settle back into his life after losing his hand. This chapter opens on Killian and Emma, still in hospital room, one day after his surgery. It is still set six months before Emma's wedding.By that time, Killian has broken up with Milah, and Emma knows it.
Friends to Lovers - Mutual Pining - Angst - Fluff - 5500 words - ao3
Part 1 - MIRRORBALL, Part 2 - AUGUST , Part 3 - HOAX, Part 4 - PEACE, Part 6 - CARDIGAN , Part 7 - INVISIBLE STRING
PART 5 - THIS IS ME TRYING. 
Six months before Emma’s wedding.
Large, golden sparkles dance over his closed eyelids. Wrapped up in a soft cloud of unconsciousness, Killian is reluctant to open his eyes. The pain has finally stopped. The buzzing in his skull as well. He is peaceful. He could remain like this forever.
Ah, denial, an old pal. But where is he, exactly?
As Killian emerges from his sleep, the first thing he becomes aware of is the soft, tingly sensation coming up from his forearm. Then, the pain radiating from his missing limb. And then warmth, against his body, a sunny and welcoming warmth. And then more pain, always pain.
Oh right. His hand. The machine. Then the hospital. Then Emma. 
Bloody hell.
In a grunt, he finally lifts his eyelids and his eyes slowly adjust to the light cascading through his hospital room’s window. It’s a very bright, golden light spilled onto each corner of the room that highlights dancing sparkles of dust around his bed and lands onto the same golden threads spread all over his forearm. They are the ones to blame for the familiar tingles in his arm.
A small, white hand rests above his stomach, while another one acts as a pillow under her cheek. Killian’s heart beams. She used her red-leather jacket as a blanket.
If his face is still frozen by pain and medicine, a part of him –  that part of him that believes in hope and happy endings – well, that part of him smiles. It’s a soft, timid, fragile flicker of light that spreads tentatively in his chest and leaves warmth there.
She stayed, stammers his ferocious, hopeful heart, she stayed. And the morphine he is under is simply too strong to allow him to fully understand what this means, as she lays asleep in this plastic chair, and her back must be killing her, and she stayed.  
Shush, heart. Those are territories we do not explore anymore.
Except that his fingers have suddenly found a peculiar interest in her golden curls, and he only realizes he’s been playing with them when Emma grunts in her turn and raises a sleep-wrinkled face.  
Killian takes his hand back in a heartbeat.
“Oh, you’re awake,” she mumbles, and her mouth sounds incredibly dry as she does so.
A small chuckle escapes his lips. Killian is glad she is still too tightly wrapped in Morpheus’ arms to notice his embarrassment.
Killian thinks Emma has always been a sight for sore eyes in the morning, as she rubs her puffy eyes and tries to untangle her hair with impatient fingers and her green eyes find his and steal his breath away.
“Aye. I believe so, love. Are you, though?”
And he thinks she doesn’t miss the tender irony behind his words. He can tell because she arches one mischievous eyebrow as she straightens her back, and her hands meet her waist and she winces.
“Oh, very much so. My back is killing me.”
And he casts a very amused eye on Emma as she stretches some more, hands up in the air, and dramatically sighs. Then, she rests her palms over his arm again and swallows him with the waves of her big, green eyes and he needs to keep breathing or he is going to stay far longer in this damn hospital.
“Did you stay all night?” he asks, because he only remembers falling asleep, while she appeared captivated with Sheriff files, red leather jacket on her back and feet propped on his bed.
Lord is he glad that he was under so much morphine when she told him, last night, that she would stay in New York as long as he is hospitalized – anyway, Graham owes me so many paid vacation days – and he did not dare ask any further questions. This was just too good to be true, and instead he stared at the ring on her finger, the one she was twirling, twirling, twirling and he said “Thank you, Swan.” He didn’t find the strength in himself to add “You didn’t have to”, because he was scared she would leave.
“I did,” she exhales, and suddenly her gaze is all over him again, and he swears he feels completely submerged in its intensity. “Made quite the deal with the nurse – trading my Snickers bar for her Twix –  but definitely worth it.”
“Of course, you did.”
And then she pauses, mouth slightly open, as if words are about to come out of her mouth, and she’s looking at him as if he might shatter in front of her eyes, into thousands of bloody sparkles. He thinks he just might when a small sigh escapes her lips. “I just wanted to make sure you were alright.”
The confession is followed by a frown, a shake of her head, and Killian thinks she regrets it right then. 
His hand starts forward to grab hers.
And she doesn’t back away, although they’ve just spent more than a year apart, she doesn’t back away even as her muscles tense under his touch, and her eyes widen, and she stretches a smile on her face.
And there is so much loneliness in the gesture she doesn’t initiate, in the fingers she doesn’t tangle with his, in the straightness of her back.
And it is terrible then, to stare at her, stare at the void between them, this gulf of pain and distance and grief, to be able to touch it, almost, to see the splinters of their lost friendship and love and to guess the shape it used to have, but to be completely unable to put them back together.
He doesn’t risk his “You didn’t have to” that time either, instead settles for: “Well, thank you, Swan. It means a lot.”
There are still golden sparkles reflected on the white hospital wall. There are still words stuck in his throat, words he desperately wants to tell her but knows he has no right to.
Thank you for coming. You saved me in so many more ways than you could possibly imagine. There is no one left in this world for me to love but you. And you, I will always love.
Of course he broke things off with Milah, when he learnt about her engagement to Neal. How could he keep up the charade? It no longer made sense. 
“No need to thank me,” she abruptly answers, and her tone is not as fierce as she probably wants it to be, and she snatches her hand away from him.
A blink. A frown. She’s standing up, grabbing the plastic cup on the white sink, pours water inside and drinks it up. 
Nothing makes sense anymore. And it should be fine, really.
But if it were fine, surely he wouldn’t be staring at her like this, as she drops the cup on the sink and looks back at him, the beginning of a smile on her lips, and surely that smile wouldn’t die into a frown when she gazes into his eyes. Surely she wouldn’t be nearly melting into the white wall behind her back. 
“Want some?” 
A pause. What the bloody hell is she talking about? Oh right. Water. “Huh, aye, I’d like that.” 
This is bloody awkward. 
The cup of water is handed down and more niceties with it. 
But then Emma has a nervous blink down, what the bloody hell is she looking at and the plastic cup remains still in his hand, untouched. Why, hello there, the bandage around his wrist seems to tempt Killian — all white teeth out. And Killian feels absolutely numb. There is still an urge, inside of him, to stretch out this missing limb and grab her hand, but that will never happen again. 
And that should also be fine but it feels like swallowing glass. And he congratulates his brain for wallowing over Emma and him, a long lost fairytale, instead of his missing limb – denial is after all a wonderful thing – but they are both unreachable, forever gone, and it should be fine.
Thankfully for him, Emma takes the cue to start babbling. That’s something she used to do when they were younger and she felt exposed, or uncomfortable, or vulnerable, she’d babble to muffle a deafening silence.
“I’ll be staying over at a small motel near the hospital. Mary Margaret and David are staying there as well.  They’ll come by tonight to say goodbye. They’re flying back to New York. The nurse said you would have to remain under observation for a couple nights more. But then I’ll help you move back into your apartment, and surely there is some kind of support you can get from the hospital, like a nurse that’d come for your stitches at home…You have an apartment, right?”
 He grins to muffle a scream. 
 “Aye, that I do, Swan.”
 Something terrible howls in his chest. Not even her eyes in his are enough to soothe it. 
.
Mary Margaret and David do pay them a visit, later that afternoon, when the sun begins its way down in the sky and leaves orange trails behind it, and Emma’s managed to sneak pizza into his room. 
Mary Margaret lends him a pile of books. “Pretty sure you’ll find plenty of time to read those now.” 
Killian finds comfort in their friendship. For a minute, as they all stand around his bed and David’s hand is pressed to his shoulder as Emma finally lets go of her red leather jacket to feel more comfortable, Killian forgets his missing limb.
“I’ll be sure to drop by New York on my next leave,” Killian says, and he means it. 
 When they decide to leave, David shakes his car’s keys in front of Emma’s eyes – your coach awaits you outside milady – and Killian feels a very childish fear tighten his chest.
“Thank you guys for coming all this way from New York.” 
David ruffles his hair playfully. “It was the right thing to do, Killian.” 
Killian smiles, blinks. Liam’s features burn his eyes. Has it always felt this lonely? 
“Take care,” whispers Mary Margaret, as she presses a kiss onto his cheek. 
“Always do.” 
It’s Emma’s turn to glance at him, and Killian nods, and he hopes she doesn’t see the frightened look in his eyes.
 Loneliness is leaning against the wall, arms crossed, a satisfied smirk on her lips. She’s been his best friend for months now. And there aren’t a lot of things Killian is afraid of, but she is one of them. There’s no getting rid of her. She sticks to the walls and to his heart and she poisons his mouth.
 “I’ll see you tomorrow,” Emma whispers, and she modestly squeezes his hand as a goodbye.
 And the distance between their two bodies leaves pebbles in Killian’s belly and a lump in his throat.
 . 
They spend those couple of days together, navigating around the ruins of their friendship. Very careful as they step around each other, not to wound the other. It’s a real battlefield full of sharp edges, of long given up swords, of yellow irises and broken hearts.
Emma shows up as early as she is allowed, and Killian knows what it costs her. She’s no morning person, as confesses the coffee she holds tightly against her chest as she enters his room with eyes half-closed and purple under-eye circles. 
“Have you been sleeping, Swan?” 
“Of course I have.” 
Liar. 
Emma is more guarded than ever. It makes him sad. She didn’t use to be like that...well, at least, not with him. 
Killian has to settle for niceties. It’s all she is willing to offer. He cannot blame her. 
She leaves around five, red leather jacket firmly slung over her shoulders and the last dying rays of sunshine tainting her hair with blood. 
“See you, Killian.” And she smiles, and he almost catches a glimpse of the girl who stood on his porch and held his hand. 
“See you, Swan.” 
.
Emma’s running. Again. She is late. She overslept. But she hardly slept all week, and it really had nothing to do with Killian, and she needed to.  
There are yellow irises clutched to her chest with her usual morning coffee, and she knows Killian will forgive her as she twirls between the walls of Portsmouth hospital to avoid nurses in her rush. 
Killian’s already all dressed up when she irrupts into his room, face flushed, and she hopes the nurses helped him with his shirt and – oh, he’s staring at her. 
“Hello, Swan.” 
And then he looks down at the flowers against her chest, and she tries her best to hide the grin that tickles her lips as she hands them to him.
“It’s been a while,” she mumbles and she figures in the eyebrow he raises that he is also attempting to conceal a smile.
“Still my favorites,” he simply answers.
All around them, dust dances in the sunlight.
“Good.”
.
Emma has trained her heart. Emma has trained her heart and she has given it armor – a red leather jacket – and she has taught it how to survive, how to remain strong. 
But all the training in the world might not be enough to muffle her heart’s sigh when Killian Jones walks beside her to his apartment, and he is pale, livid, and he is in pain, and she cannot save him.
February is such a nasty month. February is cruel and cold and has little care for their human hearts.
No more Christmas lights in the trees, no more snow on the pavement, everything is dead but the blinding, evil sun.
Emma glances quickly at Killian as she walks at his pace, making sure she stays within his reach. He did not look at her, getting out of the car, he did not look at her and she thinks it was for fear that she would try to help him.
She clenches her jaw.
“Almost there, Killian,” she attempts, and he simply lets go of a groan. The surgery he went through was heavy. He looks positively exhausted.
And yet the sun shines its evil beams.  
And Emma thinks, as her eyes remain fixed on his figure, that being with Killian always felt like being bare naked, exposed to his knowing eyes. There is not a corner of her soul he hasn’t seen and she only guesses what this must feel like – to have her stare at his missing limb and make out the extent of his anguish.  
And she might be a complete grown up, independent woman, and she might wear a red leather jacket, but Emma Swan’s heart will always have a special strawberry weakness for Killian Jones, and that is something she needs to navigate around.
Open the front door of his building. Let him in. Breathe. 
It was easy to convince herself, back in Storybrooke, busy with Sheriff duties and Neal, that she no longer cared for Killian Jones as much as she used to. That he absolutely wasn’t a living embodiment of a very big hole in her life. Nope. All it took to shatter this illusion was hearing his name on the phone.
“Careful, Killian,” Emma whispers as they finally reach the stairs leading to his flat. 
She doesn’t dare to touch him as he begins climbing, lips pressed together in a firm line. She doesn’t want him to think she thinks he needs her or something. And she frowns, she fists her hands, but she lets him climb alone, right behind him, in case he falls.
And when they reach his threshold she lunges forward to quickly unlock the door, and she hears the small wheezing sound escaping his lips. She shifts to face him, she watches as he closes his eyes and pearls of sweat roll down his temples and well – her arms have reacted without her consent.
She’s suddenly all over him, arms wrapped around his torso, and he glances at her through his semi-closed eyes, and he is pale, pale, translucent, and it’s breaking something inside of her that she thought no longer existed.
“You don’t have to, Swan—” he begins, his voice hoarse, but she shakes her head.
 “—It’s okay to need help, Killian.”
And his eyes shine in recollection. He remembers.
He was the one who taught her this, a long time ago, when she was new in Storybrooke and this neighbor and his bright blue eyes were staring at her from his fence. He saw her struggle with Ingrid’s yellow irises and he said in a very gentle voice “It’s okay to need help.” And her eyes were twitching because he didn’t understand, the nice blonde lady would send her back if she killed her flowers. And then his hand had been very warm and tender over her shaking knuckles, and it was the first time Emma Swan thought she was in love with Killian Jones.
While the fear of being abandoned retreated, the teenage crush lingered in one hidden corner of her mind for a very long time. She doesn’t think it still lives there though.
“Come on,” she eventually whispers, to break this silence that is far too heavy on their shoulders and to guide him inside.
The door shuts behind them. 
And what Emma discovers stirs something very strange, very nasty in her belly as a smell of alcohol and rotting food fills her lungs and her throat does a strange heaving thing. 
“Sorry for the mess, Swan. Didn’t think I’d get any visitors anytime soon.”
“Aha, don’t worry. I’ve seen worse.”
Except she hasn’t. Well, she has, but not applied to Killian Jones. Killian is proper and Navy and upright and clean and organized, and not whatever the hell this is.
As she opens her mouth to utter a smart comment, it is as if, suddenly, her brain disconnected from the rest of her body.
She comes up with a joke, bad break up huh, but she settles for keeping her mouth resolutely closed.
Clearing her throat, her gaze sinks to her feet as she helps him sit in one corner of his sofa that is not already invaded by empty cups and pizza boxes.
She crinkles her nose. Something, that is not cheese, is definitely rotting there.
“There you go.”
Her gaze resolutely avoids the empty rum bottles on the floor. She did not come all the way from Storybrooke to Portsmouth to lecture him, to guide him towards the light or whatever, she came to help a friend after an accident and it is no big deal.
And it is no big deal either that she feels him staring at her as she observes his place with the blankest expression she can come up with, anything not to make him feel worse.
Except that she is almost tempted to run the hell away from all of this, from him, to run and never look back, because this is far more than she ever signed up for, and what the hell was she thinking, that she could just be a shoulder for him to lean on without losing said shoulder in the process.
And then she notices a picture of them, on his fridge, just below one of Liam and Killian, and her hands come to rest over her hips.
It’s a picture they asked Granny to take on her nineteenth birthday.
Killian must have followed her glance because she hears him exhale behind her: “We had quite the night, didn’t we, Swan?”
And she nods, although no coherent thoughts are to be spotted in her mind, except for a distinct and distant smell of vodka and fruit juice and the sweetness of rocky road ice-cream melting over her tongue.
Emma flips back, a big grin on her lips. “Still fancy a grilled-cheese? It’s the only thing I can cook.”
And she smiles, harder, mostly to savagely crush this urge to run between her teeth.
.
Killian sleeps all afternoon, curled up on his sofa. Emma tucks a blue blanket under his chin and sets her mind on cleaning his flat. It’s rather a nice place to live in. It’s far bigger than Mary Margaret and David’s, back in New York, and only smaller than the one she shares with Neal in Storybrooke. It has one bedroom and a big living room and a small kitchen, and the walls are luminous and white and bare and – alright, it definitely makes her sad.
A pizza box hits the floor, near the trash can.
“Damnit.” 
Emma grunts, bends down to drop the damn box back inside. 
It’s as if Killian did not want this place to belong to him. She doesn’t even know how long he’s been living here. Perhaps he moved after his breakup with her.
Hidden behind the fridge, Emma finds a broom against the wall. She picks it up. 
It isn’t exactly the kind of place she pictures when she thinks about Killian. She can see different hues of blue, and yellow, and a naval theme going on, and also a very neat place.
 Her hands stop over the broom. Perhaps she doesn’t know him at all anymore. It’s been so long, after all, since they’ve had a true conversation.
“How can you settle for him, Emma?”
“You’re one to talk about settling, Killian! You’ve been clinging to Milah for years now, even though you are miserable!” 
“You don’t know that, Swan!” he screamed, but she only heard: “You don’t know ME.”
“Well, if I don’t know… then, then I’ll just hang up!”
“Suit yourself!”
“FINE.”
Memories of their last fight flash before her eyes, and she grunts. Her eyes land on him — asleep on the red sofa. His mouth is slightly open. He looks peaceful, younger.
And then a sigh, a shrug. No need to look back at the past. They’ve made mistakes. They’ve made a lot of them. And so what? They’re still friends in spite of everything. They’ll always be.
And she sweeps the floor with more intent.
.
He wakes up to a smell of soap, and tomato sauce and basil tingling his nose and he opens his eyes in a groan.
No, she did not…
“Swan,” he grunts, and there are so many reproaches echoing in his tone.
He rubs his eyes, a terrible headache invading his skull – one of the many side effects of anesthesia – and discovers her behind his grey kitchen counter, hair up in a ponytail and a spoon in her mouth.
The sun of this late afternoon is long gone, and all of the lights are switched on in his flat, and she cleaned everything and he feels terribly ashamed.
“You really didn’t have to clean up my mess.”
“Oh don’t sound angry Killian, you’re gonna love this. Trust me.”
He raises one eyebrow.
“What is it?”
“Pasta and tomato sauce. What? I told you I’m no chef.”
“Wasn’t complaining.”
“Oh, but your eyes speak for you.”
 And then the banter and the lime green apron are put down on the counter and she makes her way towards him, brows furrowed.
“Are you feeling better?” she asks and he has stopped breathing somewhere in her path between the kitchen and the living room towards him.
She looks infuriatingly beautiful, with her hair up.
 “Aye,” he exhales, and then she’s leaning forward to grab his arm.
 But bile climbs up his throat, and it is simply too much for him to take, and he has to push her away and... his arm jerks out of her grasp. 
She backs away, immediately. Broken are the splinters in her eyes as he swallows glass again.
“Thank you, but I can do this alone,” he utters, and he tries to sound gentle, but the damage has already been done.
She stands in his living room with her hands on her hips and she’s smiling but it isn’t a smile, it’s the mere shadow of a smile, it’s killing him, and he cannot, will not reach for her.
 .
They eat silently, as normally as possible. It’s a lot of awkward silences and “This is really good, thank you, Swan”, and “No problem,” and “Could you pass me the salt?” and “Sure, here you go,” and Emma’s tone is suddenly sharp and merciless and he stares at his fork with the serious intent of digging a hole through his plate.
 Luckily for him, he did not lose the hand he uses the most.
 And anxiety is just a blink away, it’s lurking in one deep corner of his mind, ready to roar and leap on him at any given moment. And Emma is twirling her ring again, twirling, twirling and suddenly it is difficult to breathe.
What is he going to do if he cannot re-join the Navy? What if they don’t want him back?
“Erm…Are you okay, Killian?” tries Emma in a small voice, and she must have seen him become paler. 
 He looks up with eyes wide open. No air is reaching his lungs.
She has tomato sauce in the right corner of her mouth, and he wants to tell her, but he cannot.
 His heart is drumming in his ears. It’s as if he just understood the extent of his wound. It’s not only limited to his hand, it spreads to every inch of his life.
 “Aye, I just…”
Breathe, Killian, breathe.
 He sees her brows furrow, he watches as she leans forward. “Come on, Killian. There isn’t much you cannot tell me.”
And her ring glints under the white ceiling light, glints far brighter than the bracelet around her wrist, glints.   
“Aye. I was simply thinking about the Navy and what’s to come, for me.” He is surprised his voice comes out this calm and collected.
He sees her give up on her fork and knife and seize his hand on the table, as if it is the most normal thing in the world.
Flashes of once upon a time pass before his eyes. Once upon a time, she held his hand on Granny’s table on a summer day and he thought she meant “I love you”, and the sun was reflected in her golden hair, and perhaps she meant “I love you”, but that doesn’t matter. The moment slipped between his fingers and there is no getting it back now. 
Still, he takes the initiative of intertwining their fingers together and he smiles faintly, heart still beating far too fast.
“You’ll be okay, Killian. You’re a survivor, remember?”
And his knuckle is brushing the side of her hand, and she isn’t taking it away.
“Aye. Although it’s not very fair to use my own words against me, Swan.”
And she grins, and she is an angel of beauty in a house of decay, with her blonde hair cascading down her shoulder blades and her pink lips, and it is a hard endeavor not to stare too long at them, to look away in spite of how brightly she is shining.
“Come on, Killian, eat up before it gets cold.”
He nods, but the drop of his eyes to her mouth is inevitable. He is hypnotized, it seems, and suddenly he is bending towards her. 
Her eyes widen. She doesn’t back away. 
And he cannot quite prevent the chaos he is about to create, cannot quite stop the course of his lips towards hers, and he looks up, sees confusion in her gaze, then glances down at her lips, and up at her eyes again, and down, down… And before he knows it, his hand has cupped the back of her head, fingers slipping into her ponytail. She has a small whisper then, a small hiccup, “What are you doing—” but the end of her sentence dies on his lips and he is kissing her open mouth.
He shuts his eyes. Hard. 
Tasting her after all these years sends a wave of shock rattling through his body. She tastes exactly as he remembers, as he tried to forget. 
 His heart drums, drums, drums and she does not back away. She kisses him back. She is kissing him back.
She steps into him, pressing her mouth harder against his, and Killian is no longer breathing because a firework has started in his chest and there is smoke in his lungs. 
Somehow, she crosses the distance between their two bodies, and suddenly, she is straddling his lap, and her hands are in his hair, and they tug, they tug for dear life, and his arm comes to wrap around her waist as he holds her tighter, as close as he possibly can, and he cannot breathe...Her lips move above his, a hypnotic rhythm, open slightly to allow her tongue to taste him, and she bites his lower lip and his heart comes crashing down in his chest, it drums, drums, drums.
And then, it stops.
Just like that.
Drum, drum, drum.
 She lets go. Stands up. Runs although her legs aren’t moving. As a brutal sea of frozen waves swallows him alive.
 “Killian, I…I,” and she stammers, takes a step back, creates a necessary distance between them, is blushing furiously, brushes an inexistent strand of hair behind her ears, “what are we doing? You just had surgery, and you’ve still got drugs in your system, and I am engaged, and this should not be happening, and I cannot do this, you understand, right? This isn’t right. It isn’t.”
And as the taste of her lips lingers on his tongue, finally, he desperately wishes she were wrong. He is still high on drugs and that’s why he dared to kiss her. No other explanation. No underlying feelings.
“You’re right, Swan. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have. I don’t know what came over me.” 
Except, he knows full well. And you, I will always love. 
.
She leaves the next morning in a deafening, groundbreaking silence. He watches as she makes sure everything is settled, that he is comfortable, that the nurse will come check on him every day for the next couple of weeks, and she tells him “call me if there’s anything you need” but they both know she doesn’t mean it, what she means is “call someone else”. And this rest of his life without her must go on.
That night, he sets his mind on finally writing down his thoughts. Finally telling her. After what feels like years of miscommunication, a good old-fashioned letter might do the trick to confess his feelings.
My dearest Swan, my oldest friend,
Thank you for coming. You saved me in so many more ways than you could possibly imagine.
I know the kiss was confusing, and it shouldn’t have happened that way, and for this I apologize. But I am begging you: if a part of you, no matter how small, does not want to marry Neal, do not do it. You deserve someone who loves you for who you are and who knows how lucky he is to have you. I don’t ever want you to settle like I did.
As for me, there is no one else in this world for me to love but you. And there is no else I would want to love. How could I? You are bloody brilliant, amazing, and I think a part of me has always loved you.
If you find that your feelings reciprocate mine, please answer this letter. If not, I’ll simply pretend I never sent it and we can go back to being friends. 
Love, Killian.
.
“Emma, I’m leaving for work now!” exclaims Neal as he climbs down the stairs of their new house.
“Mmmm, see you tonight!” Emma gargles for answer, and Neal smiles.
When Emma brushes her teeth, she really goes all in.
Grabbing his satchel from the living room table, his eyes look down at their front door.
They’ve got mail. A lot of it.
“Damnit, I don’t have time for this.”
But then he’s already kneeling down and he goes through the envelopes in the blink of an eye, bills, bills, more bills, until – until one name catches his eyes.
Killian Jones.
What the hell does Killian Jones want to say to Emma in a letter?  
“Fuck.”
He glances up at the stairs, watches as Emma rushes to the bedroom again, towel in her hair, completely oblivious to him and that’s for the best.
And he rushes to open the letter, fingers trembling with the fear of losing the love of his life.
What he reads then freezes something deep within him. They kissed. Of course they did. What was he thinking? That Emma could simply see her old pal and not make out with him?
And then another shudder.
He loves her. Killian Jones loves Emma Swan and he wants her.
And something very green and nasty strangles Neal’s heart. He will not lose her, even if she made a mistake. He strangely finds that he would rather never address her betrayal, never confront her than risk losing her forever. (Denial is a nasty bitch anyway.)
 Steps clatter down the stairs. Neal shoves the letter down into his pocket.
“Any mail for me?” Emma asks, arms slipping into her red leather jacket as her deputy sheriff star shines at her belt.
He simply smiles, his big grin, the one she loves. Presses his lips to hers. Conceals as best as he can this vicious, dripping mix of fear and anger. “Nope, nothing, baby. Just an enormous amount of bills to pay. Who knew adulthood meant paying a bunch of bills you know nothing about? ”
And she looks the slightest bit disappointed, and she wasn’t expecting him to write her, was she?
“See you tonight.” A last kiss and he’s out, with a letter capable of putting an end to his happiness in his pocket, and a rage he will never voice in his throat.
