⭐️ - Hilda and the Secret of Black Rock
The image froze, then faded, the glowing disk fracturing into glowing shards that floated away in the evening air. Frida’s eyes blinked open, and the blue glow faded. Silence returned in its wake. If the last one had been quiet, this was on a whole other level; the fisherfolk had shut down their engines, their voices had deserted them, and even the sea seemed to be waiting in awe.
Maybe it was the quiet that had drawn them up, or the glow, but suddenly the calm waters were teeming with multicoloured fish. All of the creatures that called Black Rock home swam up around its waist, drifting between the nearer boats. Hilda felt her heart soar at the sight, and as she looked up at the harbourfolk she could see that they had gotten through.
“We did it,” Frida breathed. From behind, Hilda heard David suppress a chuckle.
“Nope, you did it,” he said fondly, “you and Erin.” Frida didn’t argue with that.
Hilda felt her hand slip back into her own, the young witch rejoining her friends. Hilda’s heart fluttered like never before at that; she squeezed both Frida and Erin’s hands and feeling them both return the gesture. David stood just beside them, a smile on his own face and hope in his eyes, fears smothered.
This moment took a lot of tweaking to get right - I managed a chapter a day for most of this fic, but Chapter 9 (The Last Chance) took longer than I'd have liked to finish, and it was this transition that stumped me. This is the moment when the whole fic shifts from crisis to relief, when the warmth comes in after everything else, and it took a lot of tweaking for me to get the vibe just right.
And in the end, what did it for me was a song:
I can't explain how that hit the vibe I was after so perfectly, especially since it's meant to be a purely sad tune, but somehow it did. Listening to it just made everything start flowing again, and I'm really happy with the result :))
Daisy's Sea Shanties
I absolutly adore this song because it's about a woman who, being in love with William Taylor, goes to seek him out. She becomes a sailor and fights amongst the men for a year until her secret is uncovered. She tells the Captain of whom she seeks. He tells her where to find him, giving her two pistols as she goes. That next morning, she finds William strolling on the beach with his new wife. Those bullets certainly find their targets.
Sailor's clothing she put on
And went to a board a man-of-war
Her pretty little fingers long and slender
They were smeared with pitch and tar
