I was going to wait until I had chapter 5 of The Book of Sand and Sea ready so that I could post this along with it, but since it's not going to be done for another week or two, I'm sharing it now: an absolutely gorgeous work I commissioned from the lovely @mafin-libertad, who was not only kind enough to accept my idea, but who managed somehow to create exactly what I wanted: Marta and Fina and that car along the French Riviera!

“With the way you worry more about Lissa than yourself . . .” He shook his head. “No. You understand your responsibilities better than guardians twice your age. You’ll do what you have to do to succeed.”  I thought about that. “I don’t know if I can do everything I have to do.”  He did that cool one-eyebrow thing.  “I don’t want to cut my hair,” I explained.  He looked puzzled. “You don’t have to cut your hair. It’s not required.”  “All the other guardian women do. They show off their tattoos.”  Unexpectedly, he released my hands and leaned forward. Slowly, he reached out and held a lock of my hair, twisting it around one finger thoughtfully. I froze, and for a moment, there was nothing going on in the world except him touching my hair. He let my hair go, looking a little surprised—and embarrassed—at what he’d done.  “Don’t cut it,” he said gruffly.  Somehow, I remembered how to talk again. “But no one’ll see my tattoos if I don’t.”  He moved toward the doorway, a small smile playing over his lips. “Wear it up.”

"cry"

Oh thank you!! This one’s from the latest chapter of the vampire fic--it’s almost done, so hopefully i’ll actually get it out soon

Michael’s pretty sure he starts crying at some point. He has these dry, heaving sobs that Allen responds to by rubbing comforting circles into his back. It’s not quite the same without the tears, even if the last time that he really, truly cried was at his mother’s funeral.
