“hey,” he said. “do you trust me?”

a golden glow hummed through her veins at his words. “I want to,” she said. “you feel… familiar, in a way.”

she almost heard his clear laugh in her ear. “that’s because we’re made of the same stuff.”

just learned the term OCTP which is OTP but specifically OCs and it’s gonna change my life

take a cupful from your hand, wait for forty days make a river through the sand til you're called by a secret name

and the weight of the water has brought me back to this

just leave me to the river, let it cleanse my face I have no power to ward it, like the baptism of the earth

and the weight of the water has brought me back to this

and the step where you stood as I bleed from the wound how I cower to that weight still, I’ll make this water home

I've gotta stop using the #ghost windows tag because that was just a working title and it doesn't even suit it at all but #story my sister's working on that consumed my thoughts and feels is rather girthy of a tag but I swear to fuck I have to start un-associating with "ghost windows"

ETA: gonna tag it #byrdbook
