RAINN Support Event: Day3
For each story that I link to and post a quote for, if you leave an engaged comment on the day it is posted I will donate $1 to RAINN. For reference, an engaged comment is 100+ words about that story and those words cannot include copied text from the story to beef it up (if you have over 100 words without that and would like to quote, feel free). In the event I post a chaptered fic you do not have to leave a comment on the final chapter; any chapter of the work works :) Also do not mention donations or any type of "monetary" word in your comment as apparently I can get suspended again for even others commenting such.
I'll keep a running tally on each day's quote for how much I'll be donating and I'll donate the final amount at the end of April or whenever AO3 restores To Become the Nightmare, whichever comes first. Please feel free to share these posts to help spread the word and raise even more money for RAINN!
Current total to donate: $1
Ginger and Lilac Tea (April 22, 2024)
“The universe is full of beautiful stars,” Coran said quietly. “Each star is unique, is beautiful, and shines. But they are all alone. However, with a constellation… it brings those lonely stars together so that they, for however brief a time, are not quite so alone, and make something even more beautiful together.”
Keith’s eyes stung and he hurriedly blinked, hands curling into fists on his thighs.
And then he startled as a hand descended on his shoulder and gave a gentle squeeze.
“We are like the stars, Keith,” and the use of his name had Keith startling and looking up to find Coran’s eyes upon him. “We each have our own bit of brightness to add to the universe. And we shine brightest when we come together and can share our light with one another.”
