Part five of the ficlet collection for "Hello My Old Heart"!~

Wedding vows are hard to write. I'm just gonna say that much. I also won't lie - I struggled a bit with this one, for some reason. Hope y'all enjoy it, anyway! Previous parts: Let's Be Us Again | Suddenly, Everything Has Changed | Sleeping In | Early Birdie | Smother Me | Marry You

((Hopefully the links work. I will be forever sad if they don't))

Wedding planning should not be difficult. Mind, wedding planning was not John Dory's forte. He and Hickory had discussed a couple of ideas; primarily wanting a smaller guest list and how they would write their own vows, but that was about it. He truly had no idea how to go about inviting the guests, book a venue, arrange food…none of it. But then Poppy had caught wind of how abysmally his planning had been going, and it had been taken right out of his hands completely. He was infinitely grateful to her, really. However, Poppy's idea of what his wedding should be like and his own were quite different.

"Honestly, Popstar, it's fine. Hickory and I are good even just standing in the middle of a field and saying our vows, if it comes down to it. We don't need all this fan fare," John said quickly, watching as Poppy flipped through several wedding scrapbooks, going back and forth between them all while making notes. She looked up at him with a little frown.

"No way. You're Branch's oldest brother, and you were a member of BroZone! This is going to be big, and amazing! Trust me," Poppy said, waving a dismissive hand through the air.

John frowned and glanced at Branch, who was busy fiddling with some new invention of his off to the side. "Branch! Tell her to stop."

Branch spared John a short glance, only to roll his eyes and go back to his tools. "You're a big troll now, John Dory. Use your words."

John huffed out a breath, turning back to Poppy. She had color swatches out now and was holding them up near John's face to compare to his fur color. He grimaced, gently pushing her hands away. "Look, Poppy," he sighed, trying to put as much sincerity into his tone as he could muster, "I appreciate what you want to do. Really, I do. But Hickory and I just don't want a huge event made of this. Neither of us really like a big crowd, and we don't want some massive ragger of a party. And, before you say it, I know how that sounds coming from me. Please. If you want to plan our wedding, I won't stop you, because I really appreciate you taking all of this over for me. But can we keep it small?"

Poppy made a couple of abortive motions with the swatches in her hands, before finally deflating and nodding slightly. "Okay, fine. Family and close friends, only. But I will be making the flower arrangements as big as I want!"

"Deal," John snorted, holding out his hand, Poppy grinning widely as she shook it.

~

John had been ready to say his vows to Hickory withing a week of Hickory's awkward half-proposal. However, Poppy apparently needed at least three months to make the arrangements for everything she had planned. She told him, at one point, that what she had originally wanted to do would've taken six months, but after John's haggling she knocked her plans down to something she could put together in three. Plus, she had pointed out, John and Hickory's guests would need time to make appropriate travel plans and arrangements.

Needless to say, John was getting restless waiting. Two months into it, and even Sky was getting agitated.

"Why can't you do it now?" the trolling whined, flopping himself dramatically onto the ground. He kicked his little feet into the floor, his face smushed into the carpet, "Waiting feels like forever."

John snorted, elbow deep in the sink as he washed dishes, glancing over his shoulder to watch Sky briefly. "Because your aunt Poppy wants everything to be special. Plus, it hasn't been that long since your uncle Bruce visited. He's gotta make sure the restaurant is gonna be okay if he leaves again."

"UGH," Sky whined, rolling over to stare up at the ceiling. "Fine, I guess."

"Such a generous boy," Hickory laughed, taking a dish from John to dry and put away.

"Mmm. What's got your hair in a twist, anyway? It's not like anything will change around here after the wedding," John hummed, pulling the plug in the sink as he finished the last dish.

"No, I know," Sky sighed, tilting his head so he could watch his parents in the kitchen, "But, some of the kids at school were talking about aunt Poppy and uncle Branch's wedding, and some of them said only trolls in true love get married. And I know you and Papa are in true love, but a girl at school told me you couldn't be, 'cause you weren't married."

John snorted in mild offense, while Hickory simply frowned as he put the last of the dishes away.

"You tell that girl at school that anyone can be in true love, marriage or not," Hickory said as he turned to his son, hands on his hips, earning a surprised look from John, who'd had a snarky remark at the tip of his tongue. "As a matter of fact, sometimes true love just smacks ya right in the face, an' ya don't even realize it. Other times, it's real slow and creeps up on ya while yer not lookin'. True love can happen anytime, an' anywhere. You don't need no fancy ceremony an' a ring to show you've got true love."

Sky had sat up on the floor to pay better attention to his father while he spoke, little sparkles in his eyes at the impassioned speech. "Which one happened with you and Dad?"

"Well," Hickory chuckled, "The smack in the face sure happened to me." He glanced at John with a fond look on his face, "An' I'm pretty sure the slow creep happened to yer Dad."

"You big sap," John snorted, though he had to hide his face behind a hand to try and block the view of the dark flush that had spread across his cheeks.

~

"John?"

"Muh?!" John jerked awake, blinking muzzily into the darkness as he sat up, looking around in a daze.

"Sorry, schatz," Hickory murmured, rubbing at John's shoulder to calm him down. John let out a little sigh, settling back down into the pillows.

"What's up?" John murmured, squinting through the dark at Hickory.

"I wanted to talk to you about something."

"…And it couldn't wait until morning?"

Hickory let out a breathy little laugh, petting at John's jaw gently. "I don't think so."

John waited for Hickory to speak, his brain slowly trying to pull him back down into sleep, before he forced himself into wakefulness again. "Well?" he grunted, rubbing at his face.

"Sorry. It's just…hard. It's hard to say," Hickory muttered. Another moment passed before Hickory sighed, shifting against the bed to lay flat on his back, his gaze focused on the ceiling. "I would like to extend an invitation to the wedding to Dickory."

John immediately sat up again, his mind now wide awake. "You what?"

Hickory sat up as well, holding his hands up in a placating gesture, although John could barely tell he was doing so. "I know! I know how that sounds, but…He's my brother."

"Yeah! Your brother who tried to-what was it he said? Oh, right. MAIM me? Because apparently, he wasn't actively trying to kill me. Just came real close," John seethed, trying to keep his voice quiet. "He called me a whore on multiple occasions!"

Hickory seemingly floundered for words for a few minutes as they sat in the dark in silence, while Hickory audibly fiddled with the blankets in his lap. "I'm sorry. I know he was terrible. To both of us, but especially you. But…he is the only family I have left, liebling. I want him to at least know that I'm happy. That we're happy, despite everything…This is why I wanted to talk to you now. I didn't want to argue in front of Sky."

"Oh, yes. Because waking me up in the middle of the night is going to lead to a really productive conversation," John groused, flopping back down into the pillows. He could hear Hickory continue to fiddle with the blankets for a long moment, before laying down next to him again. He groaned while throwing an arm over his eyes, already feeling the guilt welling up in his chest at Hickory's silence. "Okay, fine! You can send him an invitation. But you're going to need to talk to Poppy, since y'know…he got banished and all that."

John grunted as Hickory practically rolled on top of him and pulled his arm away from his face. "Thank you, schatz! If Poppy agrees, and he shows up, I will make sure to keep him on tight reins," Hickory hummed, pressing a smile into John's cheek.

"Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm pretty great," John grumbled, wrapping his arms around Hickory. "Now, let me go back to sleep before our kid comes banging at our door to get up."

~

Finally, after months of waiting, the day of the wedding arrived.

John was nervous, to say the least. He and Hickory had agreed to Poppy's weird rule that the couple needed to spend the night before the wedding apart. It had been the first night in four years that John hadn't slept next to Hickory, and that alone had been enough to set him on edge for the day. And now, only a few scant hours before the wedding, he was stood in the little tent Poppy had had set up as a makeshift dressing room, in front of a mirror, staring at himself forlornly. His outfit was impeccable; a dark purple suit that Branch had, surprisingly, picked out with black and gold accents, and a black headband to replace his goggles. Certainly not his usual color scheme or style, but definitely complimentary to his natural colors. He knew he looked good (Poppy wouldn't let him walk out in something tacky. He hoped, anyway), but that didn't stop the thrill of nerves making him sweat.

"You look like you swallowed a lemon."

Bruce's voice startled John out of his silent revere, causing the teal troll to finally turn away from the mirror.

"And what if I did?" John tried to joke, but it fell flat as Bruce walked into the tent proper, a concerned little frown on his face. He shifted under his younger brothers scrutiny, before finally letting out a puff of air, while wiping his palms on the bottom of his suit jacket. "I'm just nervous."

"Whatever for?" Bruce chuckled, moving forward to fix the lapels of John's suit jacket.

"I genuinely have no idea," John laughed, already beginning to feel ridiculous as he thought about the conversation he'd had with Bruce previously, back when Sky's egg had first appeared in his hair. "I know he loves me, no matter what."

"And he's definitely in it for the long haul," Bruce agreed, stepping back from John with an easy smile. "You've got nothing to worry about. Today is really more of a formality, then anything else."

"I bet you were still nervous when you and Brandy got married, even if you knew she was in it for the long haul," John pointed out with a cheeky grin, laughing as Bruce flushed.

"Oh, I was a wreck," Bruce admitted with a little shrug and a nod, "I'm surprised I didn't trip over my own feet while walking up the aisle." He paused for a moment, fiddling with the bright orange rose bud on his lapel. "This probably isn't the best time to say this, but I wish you'd been there."

John chewed on the inside of his cheek to stop himself from starting to cry already, and gave a little nod. "I do, too."

Bruce nodded, clearing his throat as he not so subtly wiped at his eyes. "Right, well! Break a leg out there, Johnny," the purple troll declared, spinning on his heel to walk out of the tent.

"Bruce, wait!"

Bruce paused, turning to offer his brother a questioning glance.

"I know this is probably gonna sound weird, and Poppy might lose her marbles, because we didn't rehearse it, but, uhm," John cleared his throat, tugging at the hem of his jacket to straighten it, "Will you…walk me down the aisle?"

That was enough to get Bruce to burst into tears, his hands quickly shooting up to cover his face. "Oh my god, John!" he sniffed, shaking his head, "Right before the wedding?! I'm gonna be all blotchy."

"Oh, uh, sorry!" John scooped a tissue box up from his little vanity, offering it to Bruce, "Is that a 'no', then?"

"Is that a 'no'," Bruce mocked, snatching up tissues, "Of course it's a YES, you idiot. Glitter and cupcakes, you have the worst timing known to troll kind,"

"Ha, yeah…"

~

"You ready?"

"As I'll ever be, I guess."

The music queue began to play, notifying John that he should be walking down the aisle now. The teal troll turned to his brother, his smile crooked as they linked arms.

"It'll be great."

"I know."

~

"As I've been informed, the couple has written vows for each other. You may now recite them. Hickory, you may go first."

Hickory grinned brightly at John as the two stood at the alter, barely a foot apart but both feeling like they were still an ocean away, unable to reach out and touch. Sky was stood between them, just in front of the officiator, a little pillow that had previously held the rings they'd exchanged clutched in his hands as he watched his parents with stars in his eyes.

The country troll dug into the pocket of the black and gold floral pattern suit he wore, pulling a well worn, dog eared piece of paper out. He cleared his throat as he unfolded it carefully, glancing up at John with a smitten little smile, before he began to read.

"John Dory…I will never forget the day I first laid eyes on ya. Time felt like it stopped, an' my world suddenly felt like it could be so much bigger. Ya made me realize that I could be more than what other folks told me I should be, or what I should want. You gave me hope, an' I thought that was the most precious gift any troll had ever given me. But then ya gave me yer love, an' I realized that nothin' in this world or the next would ever compare. An' then you gave me a child…an' I don't think anythin' I can say or do will ever truly express just how grateful I am to receive all of the gifts you have given me, an' to have you in my life. I love you, with all a' my heart. An' I promise to keep tryin', every day of my life, to show ya just how much ya truly mean to me."

Hickory lifted his gaze from his speech, tears in his eyes, only to let out a wet laugh at the tears already streaking down John's cheeks.

"Oh, you're good," John whispered, sniffing loudly and wiping quickly at his eyes as Hickory chuckled. "I don't have proper vows written," he admitted, reaching out to take one of Hickory's hands, once the country troll had tucked his little piece of paper back into his pocket, "But, I thought I'd do something a little unconventional. Since we've always been a bit unconventional." He turned his head to nod at Branch, who quickly pulled a microphone out of his hair to hand over to John. "Hopefully my voice isn't too mucked up from crying," he added with a chuckle into the microphone, earning a smattering of laughter from the guests.

"There goes my heat beatin', cause you are the reason…" ((click here to listen to John's song))

Cheers broke out from the guests as John finished his song, a little grin on his face as Hickory openly wept in front of him. "Haha, I win," he said quickly into the microphone, before handing it back to Branch, earning a light punch in the arm from his youngest brother.

"And with that, I now pronounce you husband and husband," the officiator announced, with another round of cheering from the crowd as Hickory yanked John into a kiss.

Blotting Out The Sun

This afternoon found many of us outside and staring up at the sun from the edges of yards and parking lots, as if searching for some hidden message stitched between the clouds and contrails, an unofficial community united in collective awe of great and looming natural forces at work. Denny and I watched the proceedings from our acreage, then from the lot of a crowded Mexican restaurant in nearby Oakland when the clouds moved in at home. 94% totality wasn’t bad, but next time I want the full 100%. It’s a crucial difference. Still, I’ll never forget that eerie, faded purplish light. There are live Nonconnah shows in Memphis tomorrow and Wednesday, as well as the usual headlong plunge of volunteering, seeking part-time work, mundane tasks at home and around Memphis, and social gatherings. We’ve both been very busy lately, but have managed to cobble together a few new sounds that have since been largely discarded re: quality control (one piece, the fittingly-titled ‘Path Of Totality’, did end up being sent off for an eventual Christmas compilation appearance, and as is the tradition with us and comp tracks, it won’t be released elsewhere). More importantly, I’ve been listening back to everything we’ve worked on so far, making notes as to what to add and subtract, where to adjust and how to proceed. I was happy to discover I was further along than I thought - there’s about forty minutes of workable material thusfar. As we’re slowly plowing our way through demos for this release, and as there’s still nineteen demos left to toy with, it’s still a very long road ahead. Even when the tracks are mostly finished, we still have outside contributions to capture. The hope is to have the album done by the time we tour in late March. Little else to report, but keep your eyes peeled, there’s always more to come.

I think a lot of em shoulda been whupped in a circle with a good keen hickory withe by a Southern Mama when they were little.

[becomeshield-a]

they reach out to cradle jaune to their chest, hands naturally coming to cradle his cheek before they flinch back upon contact with blackened skin near missing eye. it's only a little reaction but noticeable nonetheless. ' that doesn't ... that doesn't hurt when i touch those parts, does it ? when i turn my semblance on i can't ... i can't see those parts of you. ' grimm always looked like voids to them, lacking any kind of emotion. / salem verse.

          it’s taken a while for jaune to let himself believe it’s real. the first month, he checked multiple times when the dragon came to him, to feed him, to bathe him, to talk. he’d ask them questions only his ren would know - my sister’s first-born son’s name, my hometown, the ‘pet’ he and his sister pretended to adopt - and each time ren would answer with kindness. patience. it takes two months for him to finally believe he’s safe at home, and ren isn’t just a panicked fever dream his mind conjures from want and loss. 

           ren is real. they smell the same. dragon smoke, a hint of something sweet and hickory all at once, green tea and lotus roots. jaune barely sleeps but he spends a lot of time in bed with the dragon. once he’s convinced ren is real, letting them go seemed more insane than giving himself over to salem in the first place.

          their touch is soft as it always is, but jaune’s muscles flinch just for a second, if only in response to ren’s sudden move from his face. he wills his fight or flight response, now kicked to its highest degree, to settle, reminding himself once again with a deep inhale that he is safe, and ren is here. the arc’s muscles relax. 

          “no,” he admits, tone quiet but honest, “i don’t feel them much at all. it’s like a callous.” blister after blister after blister eventually will harden to protect the skin, protect the body. the infection of grimm was almost the same, but to weaken his soul - make emotions fail and turn him into an obedient soldier. thankfully, withing the months he’s been back and constant reassurance and care, the darkened parts lighten, just a bit. they’re weakening. 

          “but...i feel you, anyway. always.”

I’m from the ass whipped generation. It’s easy to see that the ones that didn’t get whipped in a circle with a keen hickory withe by their Mamas didn’t turn out nearly as well.

An Update

Hey folks, Getting back into the swing of things around here. Been really busy this summer working with the rescue animals and also tending to non-recording album ephemera (refining writings, taking new pictures). I’ve also been upgrading and swapping out some gear - first step was swapping out my beloved Roland JC60 for a more powerful JC120. Exciting stuff.  We’ve been assembling lots of photos and taking even more - found a place in Memphis to sell me 120 film for my Holga, and discovered an incredible old 35mm Pentax in Denny’s storage stuff that I can’t wait to try out. I’ve made a huge list of interesting and abandoned/blighted places around Memphis, and we’re chipping away at shooting them, bit by bit. We’ve also been working on assembling a live band to back us at local shows, reflecting the more expansive material we’re working on recording. This is an incredible group of Memphis musicians I’m beyond stoked to work with, and we start rehearsing early September for a planned debut (likely at Crosstown Arts) somewhere towards the end of 2017. Joining Denny and myself are Dominic Van Horn, Robert Traxler, Kate Ryan, Joshua Keller, Jack Vaughn and Kelley Anderson. Dominic (of Aster) is a frequent collaborator both live and recording-wise, and he’ll be contributing modular synth work, as will Robert Traxler, the multi-instrumentalist founder of the Memphis Concrète Music Festival. Kate Ryan and Joshua Keller are both talented (and professional) multi-instrumentalists who will mostly be contributing string work (violin and viola da gamba, primarily). Jack Vaughn is an ace bassist; he and Robert have both contributed to Jacques Granger’s post-punk project The Family Ghost. Kelley Anderson, aka Crystal Shrine, is a long-time veteran of both the Memphis and Nashville scenes, and a super-talented guitarist (among other instruments); she also is the founder of the Beach House arts space near downtown Memphis, where we’ll be rehearsing.  On the recording front, we’ve laid groundwork on a couple of new pieces for others to eventually elaborate on. One of these is a gazey sorta piece called ‘Detonation Speedwave’, which is built around a simple synth arpeggio line that I recorded on a cheap Casio back in Burlington, NC a couple of years ago. The base draft of this piece can be found at our Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/nonconnah/detonation-speedwave The other piece is a more typical drone track; Denny and I camped for a couple of pleasant, quiet days at Land Between The Lakes recreation area in Kentucky recently, and on the drive home I recorded a couple minutes of improvised acoustic strumming beside two old rusty silos in Cedar Grove, Tennessee. Slowed-down, pitched-down, and drenched in reverb and delay, this piece is what resulted, along with a couple reversed lead lines on the Gretsch. This song is entitled ‘When You Begin To Blur’.  I’m not sure if either of these pieces will make the album in any form, but it’s nice to be working on the recording end of things again. More coming soon! ZC Listening to: S U R V I V E - LLR002 Reading: SONGS FOR THE MISSING - Stewart O’Nan Watching: CONTROL - Anton Corbjin
