Нооруз майрамыңар менен! Happy Nooruz!
Today is the 21st of March, aka the Spring Equinox, which means that it's Nooruz! Nooruz is the Persian New Year, celebrated worldwide by different ethnic groups, but mostly in Eurasia.
My country, Kyrgyzstan (Central Asia), has celebrated Nooruz for thousands of years for the coming of spring. It's a time of rebirth and new beginnings, and a way to bring in luck for the coming year. I've never celebrated Nooruz due to living abroad, but this year I wanted to do something special, so... I wrote a fic!
It's called a very apt For the Coming of Spring and you can read pt.1 on AO3!
Suddenly, there is an exclamation behind them, and notes on a sort of lute rise in the air. “Komuz,” the man with the grey hair says. He is smiling. “Today is a happy day.”

Wishing a happy Nooruz to everyone, especially those of you guys who celebrate. Let's try to make this year better, especially in light of all that is happening in the world. Every action counts!
