lurking in the shadows

Shy, quiet, depressed, forgettable. But also getting better one step at a time.

you know you really don’t see scarecrows anymore

[hamletthedane]

is it because the farmers finally entered a tentative alliance with the crows? is scarecrow unemployment an issue now? or have they all successfully transitioned to retail economy labor (store mannequins)

“If you’re so convinced that they’re not interested, at least now you can put all this behind you and move on,” Mx Ren said. “It was only one time.” January went very quiet. “January. Hey. It was only one time, right?” It was not only one time.

i love everybody because i love you

A mage who has wandered the shores of Avalon for a thousand years

finally sees the king lifted from the water.

When they meet again, every sense collides at once—

until it all dissolves into an embrace so tight

it feels like trying to press the other into one’s own body.

Familiar teasing returns, softening the weight of it.

“If you need proof I’m well,” he says, half-laughing,

“I could flip you over myself.”

“If you want to prove you still have that heroic vigor,” you answer,

“then go light a fire and dry your royal backside.”

You don’t really mean it.

You already know what he’ll say—

about the dragonfire you once breathed a thousand years ago,

about how you should try it again.

So instead, you turn your palm upward,

and softly speak the spell—

calling upon those familiar, unfamiliar elements

like the names of old friends long unseen.

The fire answers.

It takes the shape of a dragon,

brushing past his cheek, his hair—

before slipping into the wood

and rising into a steady flame.

It warms.

It burns.

The scent of burning wood brings back

the scorched bodies at Camlann—

you set the world alight,

yet could never burn away what was fated.

Still—

you waited.

And you found him again.

If he is a river that never stops moving forward,

then you are a fire that never stops rising.

And fire does only one thing:

once it finds fuel,

it continues to spread.
