I'm between the sky and sea - I'm floating in oblivion.

Nimona literally has it all; a modern medieval setting, shape shifting, a gay main character who actually kisses his lover, stupid humour, friends to enemies, and a demon baby.

Ad Astra Per Aspera
‘through suffering look to the stars’
The translation changes a bit depending on where you look but it mostly stays the same. When you are struggling to believe you can achieve something great, look to the stars.
I think about the implications of it being in one of the first pages of Journal 3 alot. Ford writing down a phrase that means You can do great things. And if you're ever in any doubt, gaze up.
I wonder if Stanley, struggling with the portals machinery and calculations, believing he wasn't smart enough to bring his family back. Wondering whether Ford was even alive, whether he'd even be able to get the portal to work, looked up and stared at a gateway to the stars. And got back to work.

i rewrote the legend from the sso intro for my fic but i think it turned out pretty nice so im sharing it here, feel free to add replies if u have other ideas about how the legend could be changed. see my tags for some commentary dhsfgjk
Legends say that Jorvik was once a desolate rock in the cold, dark sea…
Until one stormy night, when the stars glittered above the thunderclouds, and the crescent moon was shining brightly…
Just as the first rays of sunlight beamed out beyond the horizon, a great flash of lightning struck the black waves, or perhaps it was a falling star...
From the swirling depths, a girl on horseback sprung forth, and on a golden harp she played such a tune that both the sea and the sky calmed, and became at peace…
The girl rode out of the waves onto that desolate rock, and from her horse’s hoofsteps sprung boundless life and beauty, and to the melody of her harp, every living thing sang and gained its voice…
Once the rock was full of vibrant life, in harmony with the sky and the sea, the girl and her loyal steed came to rest…
As she lovingly touched her hand to her horse’s muzzle, the two faded into the air, splitting themselves into many millions of pieces, like the smallest grains of sand…
Those pieces gave love to the hearts of all the island’s creatures, and solidified, for all eternity, the bond between horse and rider…
It is said that one day, when great storms take over the skies, and cold waves wash over the island, darkness is taking over, and the girl and her horse will return once again…

That Space Between The Lines
Find that space between the lines
It doesn’t mean compromise
There a vast world will arise
Promise ties
Divided by all the lies
The space between lines
A forest of many trees
That could not be broken by a breeze
Tall trees
Reaching to the sky
From the oceans to the seas
With so many leaves
That space between the puzzle pieces
We can put it together
and make peace
When we find that Space
Between the lines.

Do people (in the story) talk about how beautiful the mc is? (Sorry for the stupid question 😅)
It’s not stupid at all!!
Some people may comment on it but the MC isn’t the only stunning person that will be in Court. However, you’re interactions with the human world may make you even more unique.

Finished between sea and sky today. I have it downloaded so i can highlight stuff and I’m going mad with power because there is so much there and i love picking through it. Dialogue too because your dialogue is absolutely wonderful. It’s how I talk. A lot of that story ended up resonating with me personally actually and it ended up being just an incredibly comforting read. I couldn’t find the original post you made about it so I’m putting this here.
oh thank you so so so much 🥺 i'm honored to have written a story that resonated so much!! i love characters who choose to care about each other and negotiate their relationship against the odds.... is also very comforting to me.
(for people who havent seen, between sea and sky is a short story available for free download here)
