Summary
(Imported here from Nine Lives, written between September and December 2022. Notes republished here as there were at the time of writing.)
Carol is a successful tattooist specialising in scar coverups. Daryl wants a backpiece.
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.(Wendell Berry)

Summary
He meets the girl on the first, butter yellow day of summer, three months before she dies. The afternoon is melting towards evening when she appears at the sagging fence around his property, white sneakers stained red with dust, her knees knobbly as a child’s. Behind her, the sycamores bristle with readiness for the season, their shade dense and creek-water cool. Panting at her side is the dog. Daryl squints at the pair from inside his workshop, and stands up slowly, his arms wet and cloudy with clay to the elbows, his right leg stiff from crouching.

Summary

After his brother had sold everything they’d owned, Daryl had no other choice but to join him on the trip. Annoyed with Merle and the whole situation, he hadn‘t thought he would find anything resembling hope again, and certainly not in a cat-house.

Summary
"Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks." (Matthew 12:34)
"The gates to the compound stand open: heavy and wooden, in need of sanding and varnishing. Daryl stops his bike on the dirt track and squints through the evening haze at the sign just inside the sprawling property. Brethren of the Blessed Spring, in faded, peeling black letters. There used to be words beneath those, a Bible verse, maybe. But all that remains on the weathered board are specks of paint, faint grey smudges. On the gates, he notices, is the name of the compound, two letters on each gate so the name is displayed when they are closed: Elim. Daryl tries the word in his mind. It moves like something shutting, the syllables forbidding entrance."
Unable to get another job in the small town where he lives, Daryl goes to do maintenance work for the Brethren of the Blessed Spring in Colorado. Hoping for peace, for a routine without disturbance, he instead finds himself caught up in the lives of the community--particularly that of the head elder's wife.

Summary
The first year of their son's life comes with many ups and downs, many milestones and even more smiles.
This is a three-part sequel to illuminate the heart. I have included a brief recap of that fic in case you haven't read it or have forgotten what happened. Since this story is just one big ball of fluff, you don't necessarily need to read the longer fic that preceded it, although I recommend it to understand the details better.Series
