Series: Part 1 of The Pine Needle Tea Papers Summary:

He’s here, he’s alive. His hand is on a tree.

Snippet:

Later, they’re out foraging before it gets dark. They’re both quiet, still processing everything that happened on the call, but Bucky can’t stop smiling, even breaking out in laughter. Steve grins at him, eyebrow arched, and Bucky stops walking. "Steve!"

He can see his own smile reflected in Steve’s expression changing, echoing his wonder. "We’re not alone. We’re not alone."

Bucky can feel his new confidence shining out of him, shining like gold. This isn’t the end. It’s not just them anymore.

Aislyn is really going through it:

- Kassie, her (wizard) mentor and childhood best friend, is assumed dead until further notice. This is from a couple sessions ago.

- Today’s session starts: Abaddon (not a good person) appears in a dream portraying herself as Aislyn’s mom. Abaddon (in mom disguise) tells Aislyn that she’s proud of her which made Aislyn tear up; she’s never gotten to hear that from her biological mother.

- Aislyn wakes in a cold sweat and bolts out of the castle. Vannin gets up to go check on her. Aislyn tells Vannin about the dream. It wrecks her when Vannin tells her that it wasn’t her mom in the dream. (It also wrecked me.)

- Before the session ended, the party ends up locked in a room that has the same symbol as Aislyn’s brand on the floor.

thinking thinking thinking about spring & this first part of karin boyes poem:

yes doesn’t it hurt when buds burst.

but why would spring otherwise hesitate?

how would all our hot longing

bind in the frozen bitterbleak?

the body was the bud all winter

what is this new whisper, tearing and splitting?

yes doesn’t it hurt when buds burst,

pain for what is growing

and what is ending.

(my translation)

I dunno, I'd get pretty hungry after staring at that ass all day.

She’s actually not technically in that frame. For whatever reason the poster just sticks to the acrylic and I don’t actually have another frame to put her in so there she is.

Underneath that is the happy party train poster that I forgot about until just now as I’m writing this reply
