    Summary

    The first time it happens, Eddie thinks it must be a stress dream.

    He has them often. He thinks it might be kind of psychopathic if he didn’t, if he wasn’t a little bit haunted by open chest wounds, the inexorable pumping of blood over his hands, the taste of mud. Buck going limp in his harness on the ladder. Buck, crumpled and delirious under the engine. Buck’s mouth full of blood.

    What he means to say is god, God, would it really be so hard for Buck to think before he jumped into a harness, over a cliff, into a collapsing basement? Think of Christopher, think of everything he has to lose? Everything he’d be leaving behind, putting on the table when he pulls that trigger?

    or, eddie keeps waking up buried in his own backyard.

    Summary

    "This is where the evening splits in half, Henry, love or death. Grab an end, pull hard, and make a wish."
    -- wishbone, richard siken.

    The weight of Victor in his lap, Victor’s eyes on him, Victor’s strong thighs locked around him. Victor’s hands around his throat, strangling him.

    It was Aesop’s only request for tonight, that he be allowed to see Victor’s eyes as his own roll back. And they don’t disappoint. Honey-colored eyes gone dark in the candlelight, glinting with an intensity Aesop almost thinks must be reserved for him to see.

    Summary

    Lost in the rhythm of her own steps, she stumbles into a small clearing, and sees a grove of apple trees, leaves rustling gently in the breeze. Each fruit gives off a healthy gloss, reflecting the sunlight. Drawing closer, the fluffy grass brushes against Aaravi’s ankles. Before she really knows it, she’s reaching out to grab a juicy apple hanging temptingly low on a branch of the nearest tree.

    With barely any struggle, it comes off the branch and into her hand, and she puts it in the basket.

    A bright voice startles her out of her reverie. “And who exactly are you, to be in my clearing, taking my apples without my leave?”

    Summary

    The lights at the Fairfield Asylum were dim and flickering, sporadically lighting a can of beans held optimistically over a small and furtive cooking fire, constructed from sheets and one hidden lighter. The would-be chef struggled to stir the can, and as they scurried down from the pill bottle serving as a stool, their tiny claws clicked along the side.

    Summary

    a story about my dnd character, told in vignettes. target audience of exactly six people, but if you like tieflings, self indulgence, tibetan valleys, magic universities, and extended explorations of what academic and racial trauma does to people, or like hearing people talk extensively abt their dnd charas, come vibe with me :)

    ardent grew up in the northern elven territory, in liadon, where the winters are long and the summer is gorgeous in a harsh, breathtaking way. ardent wasn't always ardent. there was something before. there always is.

    a preface to an adventure. the inhale before a breath of fire. the status quo that cannot last.
