    Summary

    “come now, my holy lyre, find your voice and speak to me.” - sappho.

    paper was a scarce resource, yet instead of precious tnt, grian made a book. leather bound, carefully decorated. he had no quill to write with, only petals and leaves and stems of the flowers scar had given him. they felt heavier than words would ever be.

    or: grain kept the poppies and lilacs from the desert, preserving them as best he could.

    Summary

    Her headset lays stationary. Her headset. She's glaring at it now, eyes clearing with caution. Like one might keep watch of a spider that threatens to lunge, she's doing anything but nearing it, edging around it slowly. Her legs feel partially numb yet she tries to walk on them anyway, needing the aid of the surrounding environment to keep upright.

    Where was she? What could she remember? Despite the pounding in her head, she has a vague idea.

    Escaping the circus wasn't easy.
    How long has it been? What did they miss?

    Pomni doesn't know. Not yet.
    Jax has every intention of finding out; not only what he missed, but who.

    Summary

    It started out small.

     

    Tiny things that Sanji was only now starting to realize.

    There was an extra toothbrush that Zoro had left in the bathroom, next to Sanji's. A whole drawer full of clothes inside the bottom drawer of his dresser. It started with extra boxers, and only grew from there.

    And then, above all, were Zoro’s soft gestures towards him.

    A small kiss on his temple before they went to sleep. A gentle stroke on his cheek. A lingering hand on his hip before they parted ways.

    Sanji was falling hard for Zoro, and isn't sure how to handle it without messing everything and everyone up. They've been friends with benefits for two years, so why was he feeling this way now?

    Sanji navigates through life and past trauma, while Zoro helps him realize he's worthy of being loved.

    Summary

    Here, the wind got into his jacket and pierced his skin. Here, it was biting and made his cheeks hurt as the wind lashed him. He had to stare at the ground beneath him whenever they went out. Which really never happened, because he hated the feeling of the wind getting into his eyes, making them water. He supposed that he didn’t really even have a reason to hold his chin high anymore. The Tidestriders were no longer nobles. They were just… ordinary people. A few Tritons living in a coastal town, instead of the city known for their people, or even in the ocean.

    The house creaked as the wind picked up, making Gillion wonder if a storm was coming in.

    --
    OR Gillion Tidestrider is a 17 year old boy in the 1980s whose family just moved to a small coastal town. With little to think about and less to do, he wanders down to the beach one day as a storm encroaches. He's never seen a proper storm before, but this storm will certainly show him all sorts of things- how to make friends with a boy his age, and things he never thought possible, like life aboard a ship that sank 300 years ago.
