    Summary

    Reading may not be a crime in the Downside– no worse than anything else, anyway– but learning to write still gives Hedwyn a bit of secret thrill.

    Summary

    “My work here is not yet done,” she says, voice smoke-rough. “Choose another to return.” Then, anticipating the Reader’s dismay, making an effort to gentle her voice: “So eager to see the back of me, are you, Reader?”

    “Certainly not,” she retorts, and, to Jodariel’s surprise, she edges closer, resting a light, uncertain hand against the ridge of Jodariel’s shoulder. “If you do not yet wish to return, I would not force you. And our victory is not assured, anyway. I’d—only wished to encourage you to think on it.”

    “I have thought,” Jodariel says, tersely, though she makes no effort to pull away, to move aside, to break contact; indeed, some of the tension is draining from her at the Reader’s touch, as those gentle fingers curl against her shoulderblade. “I have thought a great deal.”

    Summary

    This motley collection, less hidebound than a hide sack (with bits sticking out), was carried up only by a messenger imp who thought it looked like secrets. Perhaps it was. For how much, if any, did they expect to survive? Certainly, it presents no great myth, though mythic figures are present. No star-ordained ritual lies within these pages, though references are made to their ending. There is no reason why this should be what remains of the Fall of the Commonwealth.

    --

    What we know of the early Sahrian Union, as pieced together through letters, recipes, gifts, and love poems.

    Written for Day 14 of Femslash February 2024, "before you go"

    Summary

    The Downside is unkind to those who dare to hope.

    Either hot enough to scorch the flesh, or wet enough to scour paint from clapboard, or else so cold, an errant gust could freeze the skin, the landscape is unforgiving, the terrain, treacherous, the Triumvirates, ruthless.

    The Rites, absolute.

    Options for surviving the Downside are as vast as the horizon, a circle and thus infinitely broad. Yet the Reader knows each choice must be made with the utmost caution, for the footprints the Nightwings leave behind are as important as the Path they follow. They’re part of the same journey — the story of the Scribes. Of those who return in glory, and those who remain in exile to the end of their days.

    The Rites have, perhaps, turned the world into a cruel and at times inhospitable place. The thing, considers the Reader, that makes it all bearable is the love that moves in sync with the cadence of forgiveness, sings in tune with the melody of liberation, and dances in rhythm with the music of companionship.

    A love that moves the Stars and the soul both...

    Summary

    There is no animal or plant in the Downside that could be considered appetizing. Of this Jodariel was quite certain, having spent the past twelve years scraping a level of subsistence from the blasted land. In her experience, there was no time or place for comfort.

    Hedwyn, for his part, disagreed with that sentiment.

    Summary

    Set shortly pre-game, Jodariel and Hedwyn, minor spoilers for backstories.

    Jodariel has been there for Hedwyn before like this, when he had first started growing towards adulthood: worrying over the crack in his voice, the spots on his skin. His height.

    She is here with him once more, as his body is forced to learn another change.
