    Summary

    Eight years later.

    "To bid goodbye, is to say, ‘I must put you into God’s hands, since I can no longer hold you in mine.’ A goodbye is a capitulation to forces bigger, stronger than ourselves, than our wills, our desires. It is a surrender, of someone dear, to the questionable mercies of the world. One quite literally gives them up.” She sipped at her wine. “Goodbyes are shattering, and devastating, and holy. And life is full of them. Do not try to make them easy. Far better to make them worthwhile."

    Summary

    Lives and lives and lives, jumbled together like discarded christmas lights, flickering on and off at random until she’s sure that her brain can’t hold any more. She and Marianne are happy, sometimes, when the fates line up just right. Once they live their lives on an island, in a tiny village, and they raise their own goats. In another, they grow tulips and everything smells of flowers, always. Sometimes, no, not so happy.

    Héloïse remembers. Marianne doesn't.

    alternatively: the plotless, accidentally domestic, childhood best friends modern au that literally nobody asked for.

    “Who are you?” Héloïse asks, feeling the sand crunching inside her shoe. The girl is taller than she had imagined, Héloïse having to tilt her head back to look at her.

    “Marianne,” the girl says. She barely cracks a smile, just an enigmatic quirk of her lips.

    Out here, Clarke can be whoever she wants to be with Lexa. She can forget everything.

    "It only takes only one minute for Clarke to notice the girl with long brown hair and bright green eyes nestled in behind the groom’s parents across the way in the benches."
