    Summary

    You stare up at the gently swaying branches, fractals of light filtering through the space between the canopy, and breathe.

    The world breathes with you, in and out, a soft breeze sweeping across the clearing. Grass tickles the back of your neck; you can feel the uncomfortable press of gnarled roots against your spine, and you swear beneath the bark you can feel a heartbeat, a steady thrumming that speaks of life.

    It’s all so alive. It’s not the same fabricated, carefully designed set you stood on hours before. There is no stage anymore. The act is over. It’s not haunted by fragments of things left behind in past loops, in your memories, or in other pieces of you torn away from their home and tethered here by the stars. It’s no longer broken, failing, rotting away with the sickening smell of burnt sugar.

    It’s. Alive.

    … You’re alive.

    The air is crisp, the birds cry out, the tree above you waves gently in the wind, and you are alive.

    ✧✧✧

    In which I finally give Siffrin the recovery arc they truly deserve. And by that, I mean a messy one.

    Summary

    “Madame Odile!”

    You set your drink to the side and twist around as best as you can. “Isabeau?”

    You finally spot him running up to you through the crowds of people dancing and laughing. You relax for a brief second until you notice his pale face and his wide, worried eyes. You also note that he’s carrying a bundle in his hands. Upon closer inspection, you realize that it’s Siffrin.

    You’re immediately on your feet.

    “Isabeau.” You tuck your journal away and your drink tumbles to the ground. You ignore it. “What’s wrong?”

    Isabeau slides to a halt before you, panting from sprinting to you. “It’s Siffrin,” he manages to squeeze out. “He won’t wake up.”

    Odile makes a mistake in Act 5, and she regrets it.

    Summary

    Unbidden, you imagine joining Siffrin and Isabeau at the booth, linking your arm with Siffrin's at the elbow and twining your fingers together like you so often want to. You picture a strained, begrudging smile. A hollow-cheerful oh, you're here. A cutting-off, a missed step, a broken ease.

    (Oblivious, out of place, in the way.)

    Your footsteps slow.

    You    aren't sure you should be here anymore.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I am going to read this someday. Perhaps putting it in my bookmarks will motivate me to do it.
