‘love in a series of bursts & inches’ @lemonlyman-dotcom
Inspired by the beautiful friendship depicted in Lemon’s fanfiction, I created this artwork. Special thanks to tessa @ladytessa74 for commissioning this piece and to Lemon for their touching story💛🍋
“We got you, Marj.” Paul says, dropping a hand to TK’s shoulder. “You’re never gonna be alone. We’re always gonna find you.”
She’s not alone. Two years ago her well-planned future was ripped away from her, and in its place she found a black hole. Except it wasn’t a dark mystery, it was an opportunity. She’d been given the gift of discovering herself, of charting out a future alongside people she wanted to build a life with.
She’s found a family here in Austin.
But found family isn’t really just found. Being surrounded by a group of people who fuel you, she thinks, is intentional. She’s built this network of friends, of people who embrace each other and nurture each other’s strengths in ways none of them received growing up. They see each other, not just how they want to be seen but for who they truly are; messy and tender parts and all. They know what needs to be celebrated and what still needs healing, when to give each other space and when to find each other and drag their asses back home.
Those people saved her life on the side of that highway. And now she’s choosing to live it.
