Parenesis: Evangeline & Joseph

Chapter 1: Fix You

IT'S. FINALLY. HERE. Evangeline's and Joseph's story is finally getting posted. Getting super emotional here, guys.

ALLLLLL the thank yous (and more!) to my friend @redreart for creating the beautiful chapter art for Parenesis (and everything else!). Look how beautiful my Evangeline is, everyone! 😭

And to @hotmessteaparty, you my love, you are the reason this fic is even happening. Thank you SO much for being such an incredible beta AND the literal light of my life. I love you. I am so very grateful for you.

Hope you guys enjoy the first chapter. If you've read Afflicted, y'all know I love a very, very slow progression. 😏 If you notice, this is definitely NOT art of Joseph. 😉

Working on getting the first chapter up and ready to go (hopefully today!), so figured I'd do what I did with Afflicted and post the song that it's named after. And perhaps a title reveal. 😏

Parenesis.

When you try your best, but you don't succeed When you get what you want, but not what you need When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone, but it goes to waste Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you

And high up above, or down below When you're too in love to let it go But if you never try, you'll never know Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face When you lose something you cannot replace Tears stream down your face, and I

Tears stream down your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes Tears stream down your face, and I

Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you
