#travel was very stressful so i'm kinda down to camp out for a while.

stress reliever

"if you ever need a stress reliever, i'm here." he wonders just how willing you are to live up to your words.

content warnings. smut read at ur own risk. gender neutral reader. asshole aether agenda (delulu). overworked!aether. petnames (slut, pretty, whore). degradation. rough sex. (kinda) aftercare (717 wrds.)

"traveler! help me deliver this package!"

"hey, traveler! wipe out this camp for me!"

"traveler! i lost my keys!"

"traveler!" this, "traveler!" that, "traveler!" "traveler!" "traveler!" he was sick of it.

the last thing aether expected was becoming everyone's little service dog while making his way through teyvat.

sure, sometimes it paid off. the connections he's made have definitely been used in multiple scenarios, but nothing could really prepare him for the workload dropped on him.

he always accepted their requests with a smile, and a quick 'i'll see it done!' but what about when he needed something?

trying to find his sister was the main mission for his journey. he asked for help but all he got was missing person posters placed in peculliar places (its the thought that counts, amber...).

when he found out the reason for his sister's disappearance, the reason for why she woke up before him, he shut down.

maybe by fate he ran into you that night, his body falls at ease in the couch as he sits beside you, while his fists ball up at the comment you made the other day

"if you ever need a stress reliever, i'm here."

his vision darkens, he wonders just how willing you are to live up to your words.

:::

the mouth that curves into the sweetest smile while helping others spew degrading words with ease — slut, bitch, whore, and the like.

his pace as relentless as his words, his dick piercing you with such ease as the sounds of skin making contact fill the room.

he had you face down ass up, holding you down by the neck as he recently attacks your hole. your screams muffled by the silk flower sheets as aether growls into your ear.

"you fucking slut. you like to be pounded like this, huh?"

he’s met with muffled grunts and whines as he laughs deeply

“hmm? pretty little thing to cockdrunk to respond? i know how to make this slutty little hole of yours shout my name”

and that he did.

he adjusts his hold on your nape, moving it under your chin to hoist you up to him. he presses his chest against your back as you hold onto his thighs for dear life, screaming while choking from the merciless grip on your throat.

“you like that, whore?” he whispers to you, using his free hand to tweak your budding nipple “like being fucked dumb on my cock?”

you nod with scrunched up eyes your mouth agape and a small trail of drool coming from your mouth. aether laughs again as he kisses your cheek then attacks your neck, blooming dark spots along your neck and collarbone with his teeth.

“ae– hmmgf– aether!” you manage to moan out, “g-gonna cum!”

edge after edge and you still declare when your orgasm is approaching? god…

“you’re pathetic.” he spits, tightening the grip on your jugular as he quickens his unbelievably fast advamces. “cum for me, slut.”

your voice hits an all time high as your orgasm crashes over you, (more like shocks your core and rocks your entire world) the position that you were in made sure that aether’s dick kisses your cervix deliciously.

you crash back onto the sheets as aether hurriedly rubs his cock, spurts of white decorating your back and ass as he growls praise’s through clenched teeth.

:::

"oh my gods. i am so sorry"

maybe you were too into it to remember your fairly busy schedule the next day. you had to call in sick at the very last minute as aether's stress has rendered you weak in the knees. no literally, it hurt to walk.

aether isn't fairing any better as he profusedly apologized for going too hard.

"i can do what you were gonna do today! i don't mind!" he offers with exaggerated expressions, his arms flailing around as his face scrunches up with anxiety.

you cup his face to calm him down,

"aether, the only thing you can do for me right now is to stay with me until noon." you yawn, "the both of us needs the rest, okay?"

his thoughts slow down as his heart aret speeds up, looking at your dazed smile and the tears that are created along your eye when you yawned,

"okay."

Don't ask why I wrote this (thoughts on the latest Ear biscuit)

It's been a good while since I've written down my thoughts on an Ear biscuit episode. I can tell you, there are probably dozens of unfinished drafts saved on my tumblr. I'm determined to post this one - if that doesn't happen, hi, me, from the future, trying to cypher why this text never got posted.

This was the rpisode after Good Mythical Evening, and, as we learn from Link, Rhett is still sick, but I think it's safe to say he's not premused quite as dead as he was during the Streamys anymore. Because of all of my neuroses, I've been genuinely worried for a few days, but I guess it's okay to breathe again.

So, Link was doing the podcast with Jenna, and I have to say, this was an excellent episode. The past few times when Jenna had been on the podcast with both Rhett and Link, the dynamic has been a little off, more confrontational with Rhett and Jenna teaming up "against" Link (which of course is not really the case, but because I tend to see things more like Link than Rhett, I'm often rooting for him). This episode, Link and Jenna have a great discussion as complete equals, and it is really enjoyable.

First, Link and Jenna go through GME and the Streamys, and sounds like they are both proud of Link's performances on both occations. It seems Rhett was pretty sick on the night of GME already. I hope GME 4 happens next year, not just because I've loved every show thus far, but so they get a chance to do one with both guys not sick, and with the technical stuff going as planned.

My heart kinda melted, when Link said he was missing "his dude" at the Streamys, and turns out he had talked about what to say on stage with Rhett. The way he presented Mr Beast's award was epic, but apparently, had they won Show of the Year, something even better would have happened. Next year, maybe.

So, the majority of this episode is dedicated to a solo camping trip Link made (with Jasper) during their summer break. He compares notes with Jenna on why they both enjoy solo travels, and talk about things you gotta do to stay safe while staying in the wilderness alone.

The reason I ended up writing my thoughts about this episode, in particular, is that listening to Link and Jenna talk about how freeing solitude is. I got envious.

The reason I've been so absent from Tumblr and everything else is that with my parents getting older, a lot of my time these days involves me doing things for them. My dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's last year, and he no longer has his driver's licence. My mom has had some pretty major health scares in the past year, and it's near a miracle she is currently alive and actually physically functional. As if these things weren't enough, my sister was diagnosed with cancer, went through surgery, chemo and radiation therapy in the past year, too. She is doing better, now, but with my parents and my sister all struggling, I've suddenly ended up being very necessary. And that means, the most time I've had for myself in the past few months has been two days at most, but usually, not a day goes by without someone needing my help. And, I could really use a solo trip right about now.

Link talked about how being alone gave him a sense of being fully in control, and that made him happy. And for Jenna, solitude meant freedom. I can relate to both of these feelings. I've never really been able to be truly myself when other people are around, and it can be really suffocating. For me, it took a world wide pandemic to figure out that I actually like being me, but the problems, the anxiety and stress, emerge when I'm expected to interact with other people. As much control as I have over my own existence, I can't control other people. I've tried, doesn't work.

I csn't wait to see the video version of this episode on Wednesday. Link showed Jrnna a video he had made while watching the sunset with Jasper. I'm not religious, nor particularly spiritual, but if I ever feel connrcted with the universe, it's when I'm in the wild, surrounded by the beauty of nature. One August night this summer, I sat in the dark, staring at the sky, searching for shooting stars. I was alone at that time, apart from a million mosquitoes eating my ankles, and at the same time, I felt free, yet not lonely. And then I heard something crack in the dark, and, because I was in my garden, I calmly stood up and walked inside.

So, yeah, after sll of this nonsensical rambling, what did I actually want to say? Enjoy the little moments in life, alone or with someone you love. If you can, go on a solo trip - and if that is not an option, go outside, look at the stars and breathe. And even if this text probably isn't the best ad for this Ear biscuits episode, listen to it.

Hello, some updates:

I’m back home! And I’m sick. Will be quarantining, will still be scarce in messages, sorry!! These days I just rarely have the spare brain to hold one-on-one conversations.

Additionally: Small tweaks to blog description & about. Going back to being more in-your-face about soulbonder stuff. I might tweak a few other social media profiles, as well, I’ve been doing a slow sweep.

in your arms || aether, bennett, chongyun

masterlist characters: aether, bennett, chongyun genre: fluff summary: in which their s/o is in desperately need of cuddles. notes: ah i miss cuddles :(( if you can't tell from how i write cuddling, i'm big on physical affection like hugs and stuff. can't do that now tho :( also, hun is a petname i use like... all the time. idk man, i just really like it :D

aether -

i feel like this boy gives some of the best cuddles.

i like to think he's the "older" twin out of the two.

on the coldest nights of their adventures, him and lumine would cuddle up next to each other next to a fire to keep warm (platonically of course).

if you're in teyvat after he's lost his sister, he'd put everything into those cuddles.

he misses her so much and he hates the idea that one day, you'll be gone too.

although he held high statuses in both mondstadt and liyue, aether still preferred to camp outside the city limits.

something about the calm and quiet outdoors brought peace to the otherworldy traveler.

and you never really minded it.

as long as you were able to be next to him, you were content with any living condition.

luckily, it never really affected your nightly cuddles with the blond :)

one day you both split up to handle separate commissions, right?

one brought him all the way to mondstadt while yours required you to head to liyue.

this commission, however, was one you didn't particularly enjoy.

it wasn't because you couldn't handle, because of course you could.

in fact, it was purely because of the neverending stress building on top of you.

so once your commission was complete, you definitely were in need of some good ol' aether cuddles.

you waited for him by your usual spot, the aching feeling in your chest growing more unbearable as time went on.

until eventually--

"(name)! sorry, did you wait long?"

"we brought you some food to make up for it!"

the familiar voices of of your beloved traveler and his emergency food companion called out to you from down the path.

aether was running over to you with paimon in tow.

and you, desperately wanting to wrap your arms around him, ran over to him and met him halfway down the path.

before he could talk again, you had already jumped into him and were squeezing him as you wrapped your arms around his shoulders.

"wh-whoa! (name)?"

instinctively, he'd wrap his arms around you.

he wouldn't need to ask about how your commission was, he could already tell by how tight your grip was around him.

"c'mere."

he'd pat his hands on your legs, signalling for you to jump up into his arms.

and, of course, you do.

he still needs to set up your tent and all, but he doesn't want to let you go either...

next best plan? just build the tent with you in his arms.

it'd take him longer than it normally would since he was busy holding you, but he'd get it done.

paimon definitely wants to tease the two of you, but she'll save that for tomorrow when you're feeling better :)

once paimon disappears to wherever she goes, it's just you and aether in your tent beneath the moonlight.

you're both accustomed to the hard floor beneath your tent, but that never mattered.

all that mattered was that the two of you were together.

if you're still awake, he'll whisper some stories of how his day was and what happened during his commission.

i like to think his go-to position for cuddling would be the honeymoon hug?

i mean, like i said before, cuddling is something that reassures him that you won't be leaving anytime soon.

so something like that type of cuddling where your both holding each other is his absolute favorite.

but if you're in need of comfort, he'd be laying on his back with you on top of him, his arms wrapped around your waist and hugging you close to him.

he likes to talk to you, surprisingly.

i mean, we've seen how quiet this boy is.

but with you, he'll talk to you even after you've fallen asleep.

"i know today's been kind of rough on you, hun... i hope just being here with me, holding you close to me, is enough to help comfort you."

bennett -

bennett... has absolutely no experience in cuddling whatsoever.

you'd have to be the one to help him out.

he's always afraid something will go wrong due to his bad luck that he's tried his best to stay away from intimate things like that.

plus, he's also very energetic and jittery so cuddling isn't something that's crossed his mind to begin with.

you'd be the one to show him all of the different positions you could do, include those where you're just sitting next to each other.

he's definitely touchy since he's never experienced this before.

still kinda hesitant though because of his luck ://

he needs a lot of reassurance from you before he even thinks about fully cuddling in his sleep.

in fact, a lot of the time it'd be you who's cuddling him after a bad day.

i think his favorite position before fully allowing himself to cuddle would be ones with lingering touches.

like a simple arm slung over the shoulder and your legs crossing each others' in your sleep.

those small gestures.

but once he's used to cuddling...

he loves the idea of having you hold onto him while sleeping.

kinda like the sweetheart cradle with you being the one to hold him.

he just needs that reassurance that you're okay with him and his luck won't do anything to change that.

but sometimes you need to be cuddled too.

you're day has been rough, what with the countless things you needed to do that day (be it because of procrastination, schedule mishaps, etc.)

you'll head towards the adventurer's guild in search of bennett.

his dads all know you, of course, so whoever meets up with you takes him to wherever he is.

you wouldn't need to say a lot to bennett for him to know something's up.

probably just a small hum or murmur would be enough to clue him in.

you'd drape yourself over his back, wrapping your arms around his shoulders and digging your nose into his neck.

he'd jump for a moment, thinking someone else knocked into him because of his luck.

but then he realizes you and he relaxes.

he'd bring his hands up to rub your arm, hearing your muffled whines as he does so.

his dads would already notice you're having a bad day, so they don't say anything that'll disturb you two.

honestly? bennett would probably want to cuddle with you right then and there.

he's not one to get embarrassed too quickly, so he wouldn't mind.

but his dads bring up a good point that you both should probably be resting in an appropriate bed instead of the floor or a bench.

so the two of you would head home as soon as you could!

bennett would talk your ear off about his adventures that day.

if you don't wanna talk, he can do enough for the both of you!

anyway, you'd both head home and jump into bed as soon as you can.

he'd instinctively go to your standard position but then he remembers that you're in need of some well deserved cuddles.

so instead, he'll be the one to hold you close.

he'd let you rest your head on his shoulder or chest.

you could trace the scars running up and down his arms.

he'd rub your back lightly while talking about his adventures again.

he'd tell you tales of the mare jivari he's heard.

and when you're off to sleep, the stress leaving your system, he'd continue to rub his hand along your back.

"how about tomorrow we go on an adventure? just me and you. we could do whatever we want to get your mind off of things..."

chongyun -

this poor boy doesn't cuddle a lot!!!

he's gotta stay cold, y'know?

as much as he'd love to just wrap his arms around you all night, he can't...

but he will try!

he'd definitely try to push himself near the beginning of the relationship.

i'm talking forcing himself to cuddle all night, no matter how hot it gets.

but, as the loving s/o you are, you tell him that it's okay he can't do the full body cuddles like other people.

but he still wants that touch, even if it's a little.

his cuddles are the ones where only a certain body part is touching the other.

like his arm is up against yours or your legs are touching.

those types.

he feels bad he can't do more though :((

he for sure owns those cooling blankets, even if it isn't for cuddling.

if you're under one of those, it's more likely for him to try and give you a hug as you both drift off.

he'd eventually separate from the hug if he's feeling too hot.

and as much as you're okay with those small cuddles with fleeting touches, there are times where you just need a good cuddle full of hugs.

he'd come home from another day of trying to exorcise evil spirits, wanting to simply fall into bed where he knows it's nice and cool.

he'd greet you once he walks into your bedroom but he'd notice...

you're wrapped up in your blanket and hugging your pillow tight, acknowledging his entrance with a simple nod.

he doesn't know what's causing you to feel upset or stressed, but that doesn't really matter anyway.

he'd hop into bed right next to you, slowly unwrapping your body from the blanket.

you're still clutching onto your pillow once the blanket is gone.

he'd have to turn you over for him to even be able to look at you.

you're resting your cheek on top of your pillow while looking up at him with tired eyes.

he'll cup your cheek with his hand, smiling softly when you nuzzle into his cold palm.

he would stay on top of the sheets while you're lower body is tucked underneath it.

he'll rub his thumb along your skin, watching as your eyelids flutter every now and then.

"have you been awake long?"

you shake your head.

"i see... come here."

he'd open up his arms, a gesture you hadn't seen for a long time.

this one, however, was different.

he didn't have a forced smile on his face and his arms weren't tense like before.

this time, he had that soft smile you'd always see when you two are enjoying popsicles together and his arms were relaxed.

you'd scooch over the bed, tossing your pillow behind you as you nuzzle into his chest.

he'd let out a quiet chuckle before pressing a quick kiss to your forehead.

"i'm sorry i don't do this often."

"...it's okay. i like our cuddles no matter what."

"but you deserve this every once and a while."

you'd just hum in response, smiling at the feeling of his thumb rubbing your skin.

he won't talk as much as the other two, opting to keep the calm silence in your room.

you could hear his quiet breaths and his heart beating in his chest.

and you fall asleep to it, the feeling of his arms around your body permanently marked on your skin.

"i normally... get too hot when we cuddle like this. but now... it's feels really nice."

Here's a short percico thing I did.

I was... In a mood when I wrote this 🤔

CW: depression, hurt comfort kinda thing

Happy holidays 😗

I'm not just tired

Percy had learned to recognize the signs. He thought he had, anyway. They weren’t very obvious at first, and it made him nervous that maybe, he was overthinking it a bit. Nico didn’t like him being guarded and ready to act at any moment. But Nico was still in bed. Peeking through the slightly open bedroom door, a hot chocolate mug between his hands, Percy looked at the barely visible shape under the covers. The tightly shut blinds barely let any light through. He tried remembering what the past few days had been like. Maybe he should’ve done something sooner. 

Monsters didn’t really care whether the end of the year celebrations were around the corner or not, so they had been called on duty a few times. Too many times? He could handle it and usually, Nico could too. Until that morning when he said he couldn’t shadow travel. He didn’t look sick or particularly tired, but if he said he couldn’t, then he couldn't. That had been its own fight when they started dating and Nico wouldn’t admit when something was wrong with his powers. But Percy had convinced him to just say it. It didn’t make him weak, or a burden to anyone, it was simply something they had to work around. Like a broken ankle or a headache when they didn’t have ambrosia nearby. 

So no shadow travel. Fine, nothing to worry about as long as his favorite ghost king got a little rest. He didn’t even seem upset by it. A few days later, Nico started acting cold and distant. It was never easy to have his sister's birthday and his other sister's death anniversary follow each other. He could deal with it, though. Had done so plenty of times before. He just needed space. Then the mood swings started and the skipped meals and the missions and the going back and forth between camp half-blood and camp Jupiter and people shouting and arguing non stop. It was logically stressful for everyone. But Nico didn’t say anything. He continued smiling and talking to people but Percy could see the tension under his skin, the way he avoided his touch or wouldn’t meet his eyes. 

December 23rd, 4 pm and Nico didn’t get out of bed. They had plans with both their families and friends for the next three days and Percy had a feeling they wouldn’t make it. He was looking forward to staying with his parents and sister tonight but Nico was the priority. He just had to figure out how to approach it. 

He let out a breath and opened the door. The shape under the cover stilled. Percy sat on the edge of the bed and put down the mug on the bedside table. Sentences filled his mind but none seemed to fit. If he said the wrong thing, Nico could get upset or feel bad or get even more distant and he didn’t want any of those things to happen. 

“I’m okay,” came a voice from under the covers. “I’m sorry I can’t come tonight. My presents are on the kitchen table. Can you take them when you go?”

“I would,” Percy answered, tugging lightly on the covers until Nico lightened his grip enough to let him slide right next to him “if I was going.” 

It was hot under the covers and he squinted.

“Percy…”

“I’m not going.”

While he could see just fine underwater, his heritage didn’t help distinguish the curve of Nico’s nose, the edge of his jaw or the heavy lidded eyes he knew were under there. His fingers were tingling with the need to touch, feel the heat of Nico’s skin against his. He stayed where he was. A noise came from somewhere in front of him.

“I… Give me an hour. I’ll get dressed in an hour.”

His voice was tight and low. 

“I don’t want you to.” In the best of days, Nico didn’t feel too good when surrounded by lots of people. Meeting Percy’s family tonight meant a lot of noise, obligatory speaking and probable unwanted touching, even if only accidental. He couldn't subject his boyfriend to that.

“We can see them any other time and, honestly, I’m a bit tired myself. They’ll understand.”

“Are you mad at me?”

“Why would I be?”

Nico shifted a bit, like he was debating getting farther away or closer.

“Because I’m…” Broken. He had said that before and the word still rang heavy in Percy’s ears. He remembered the tears and the screams and the distance. “Because I’m like this.”

“Everyone gets tired sometimes, nothing wrong with that.” 

Those weren’t the right words. Nico’s condition was serious. Very common among demigods, hell, very common among mortals too. But right now, Nico probably didn’t want to hear that. He had been more open recently about the way he felt, the guilt was slowly going away instead of choking him into silence. Nico’s demons would always be there, but they were both learning to work with it. Percy believed they were anyway. He was afraid to see the son of Hades shut down completely if he brushed too close to the subject.

Nico was still again and Percy waited.

“I’m not just tired.”

The silence that followed was long and heavy. Percy could barely breathe. Was Nico actually willing to talk about it?

“I’m not feeling okay at all.”

He wanted to take his hand, hug him, run his fingers through his hair and tell him that everything would be alright. He did none of those things. Just listening to Nico’s heavy breathing was painful enough. Not being able to touch and reassure him was worse. 

“It’s like I’m… It's like I want to speak but I can’t. Like I’m sinking and I can’t breathe. It’s like I’m dying, Percy.” He could feel Nico shaking and wanted to hold him so bad he closed his fists to calm the urge. “I don’t know what to do to make it go away. I’m not sure I should want it to go away, maybe I…”

“No, you don’t deserve to feel that way.”

He knew he needed Nico to let everything out and say what he wanted to say, but this was too much. He couldn’t stay here and listen to him talk so badly about himself.

“Can you hold me?”

Percy was around Nico even before the words clearly registered. He was shaking beneath him. Nico was crying and Percy wanted to scream. How could he hold so much power in his veins and yet be so powerless when the one he loved needed him most? His neck was wet with tears and his arms tightened. 

“I’m here. I’m right here and I’m not going anywhere. If you can feel me against you then you’re alive. Tell me you can feel this.” 

Nico nodded against him. 

Percy had never felt so lost and scared for someone else before. Nico wasn’t okay and he didn’t know what to do. The things he said cut deep and not knowing how to react to it, how to make him feel better hurt even more. Something terrifying was happening and no magic sword could make it better.

“I'm right here, I’m right here.” He continued whispering between them. 

He thought about asking Chiron for help, surely the centaur had dealt with this in the past. But would Nico be okay with him talking about this to anyone else? What if it made things worse? Would he feel betrayed? Would he get even further away from him? His heart was beating so hard it was deafening. What was he supposed to do? What if he made a mistake and Nico…

“Percy?” the voice was so low, muffled, shaking. “I think I need help.”

Percy started crying.

Hello! A while ago I made an au about Alderheart (being evil and something along those lines) and I decided to revisit it. There will be some minor and major changes to the original one I made but I still hope you guys like it!

-The story starts when Alderpaw becomes a medicine cat apprentice. He's a little disheartened but believes that this will be the right path to take since he's not the best hunter and doesn't want to let any more people down (his parents are still really supportive).

-The trip they make to find skyclan happens as usual, and sandstorm does die. Though here is where it changes. Instead of Sandstorm visiting him the night of her death it's another "starclan cat" (it's not). The cat's name is Redwillow and he says that skyclan was slowly dying because they do not have a medicine cat and it's Alderpaw's destiny to save skyclan and become 'their' medicine cat.

-They never meet Mistfeather, so they assume that Darktail and his gang are the real skyclan. Since there is no tension Darktail let's then stay with open arms, and here alderpaw tells the group he was travelling along with Darktail and his group of his "destiny". Sparkpaw and Alderpaw have a heartfelt goodbye since Alderpaw was going to help rebuild 'skyclan' until they are well enough to rejoin the four clans at the lake. And Sparkpaw and their group were supposed to bring back the news to the clans.

(Sparkpaw and Needlepaw were the ones that found twigkit and violetkit after they leave the skyclan camp).

-the group of clan cats come back to the lake with the news that they had found 'Skyclan'. Both Bramblestar and Squirrelflight get pretty sad that they're son did not return but they kinda understand since 'destiny' and more so worried for the two new kits. (In the end Thunderclan keeps both of them, and Sparkpaw loves them so much.)

(Btw spark and needle become pretty close which will later blossom into romance but will in the end not work out for many factors.)

-Back to alderpaw he keeps getting visits from Redwillow who basically instructs him what to do next. (And even begins to battle train him saying that there will be a big battle in the future). Which does happen when they find Leafstar's group of cats. Alderpaw becomes confused since he's like 'wait they're from skyclan but these cats are also skyclan'. Alderpaw stays with Leafstar's group (and learns a few more things about herbs), but Redwillow distorts Alderpaw's sense of right and wrong. In the sense that Redwillow basically says that these cats were the ones that would try and take over the lake. So essentially Alderpaw leads Darktails group to Leafstar's camp and a battle starts. The true skyclan is already in a very weakened state and they are pretty much wiped out except a few survivors that decide to join Darktail's rag tag team.

I definitely have more to this story it's just I don't want to be that person and clog your dash. So some things you guys can look forward to, or even ask about.

-Spark and Needle's romance

-Bramblestar's downfall (+ Squirrelflight's death, and maybe how Leafpool dies.)

-Spark being the youngest Deputy so far (with no apprentice) and then later becoming the youngest leader. (+her warrior name)

-More about Alder. (+how he got his name (though last time I made this au someone suggested the name 'Alderberry' and I really liked it! So thanks you beautiful person!))

-How Sandstorm is desperately trying to save her grandchild from the clutches of Redwillow.

-Firestar being there for Spark.

-Violet and Twig essentially being Spark's daughters who love and support their very stressed mom.

-A detailed description of each character/ and sort of genetics. (Though I'm still studying abroad so they'll only be in pencil)
