    Summary

    He always said that Dream wore his heart on his sleeve, but he was wrong. Dream's heart was buried under a weeping willow, written in somber words for no one to see.

    Summary

    Day 3: Flowers

    “I promise you. I promise I’ll come back.”

    He promises, George thinks wistfully. He promises such a thing- to offer George with his word on something, to uphold it. It’s as if he’s saying that he’ll give the world to him, just for him. But somewhere is the lingering thought in George's mind is that he won't come back. That the cruel war that had riddled their land will take him too, and he will be left aching and worry-worn. George shivers at the thought. Of a life without him.

    “You promise?"

    That you’ll come home to me?

    And as if he heard those unspoken words. Dream beams at him.

    “I promise. You won’t even notice that I was gone, my love.”

    George lets out a wet and broken laugh at the overly romantic pet name that he associates with his beloved. Dream does so too, before pulling him back into his embrace.

    They stay there for a bit. The war can wait.

    “I promise I’ll be waiting.”

     

    (or, the war au with letters and oscar wilde quotes.)

    Summary

    The butterfly effect: In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. The term butterfly effect is closely associated with the work of Edward Lorenz.

    The idea came to be known as the “butterfly effect” after Lorenz suggested that the flap of a butterfly's wings might ultimately cause a tornado. And the butterfly effect, also known as “sensitive dependence on initial conditions,” has a profound corollary: forecasting the future can be nearly impossible.

    (in which George is a ticking time bomb and Dream is still there for him, despite circumstances)
