[ June and Day - Invisible String by Taylor Swift ]

Time, curious time Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs Were there clues I didn't see? And isn't it just so pretty to think All along there was some Invisible string Tying you to me? 

[ ID: a set of four pictures with a gif overlay and text for the legend trilogy by marie lu. the first image is of a group of people jumping from one roof to another, they are silhouettes against a bright teal sky. the second image is of a man with blonde hair tied back in a ponytail, his face is obscured by shadows. the third image is of three people’s silhouttes against a smoky background, again bright teal, they are running through the smoke. the last image is a close up of gold details on a soldier’s uniform, it is worn by a woman and she has her arms crossed over her chest. We don’t see her face. The text on the images reads: “A string that pulled me out of all the wrong arms, right into that dive bar, something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire, chains around my demons, wool to brave the seasons, one single thread of gold tied me to you.” /End ID ]

Quick and dirty.. but

The snow fell lightly, coating their furry form with a dusting akin to powdered sugar. Their breath came in puffs and snorts as the pair tramped through their clan’s territory.  Apart from the crunching of paws, their snorts and rustling of wing and fur, all was silent. The forest was hushed, as if holding it’s breath.

 The seasons were changing – it was a feeling in the air – a change in daylight, a colder snap to the air. Winter was come.

Neither tundra spoke, merely twining their wings together as they walked side by side, smiling. This was hopefully a tradition that might last. The Den Mother had seemed to like the idea, and had given her approval to invite other clans to join – the Tsugas – for instance – Inuksuk was always pleased to see them.

Ungayok gave a low grunt before pausing, ears twitching as her head tilted, nose raises to sniff the air. Which way? Her male companion hugged her close with his shimmering wing, finally speaking. “This way – soon, we should be able to hear them.” His mate winked playfully.  She was not a wordy tundra, but he’d known no other but his lady Priam to be as loving, as doting.  They tramped off again, reveling in the crisp air, ears straining to pick up snatches of what was promising to be a wonderful occasion for song, feasts and absurd garb. Signs that others had arrived were apparent – Ridgebacks and guardians had shouldered through trees, scraping bark and snow, leaving wide paths. A cloud of spirals chattered from the sky as they grew closer. It was in the clearing – the one his clan used for Exalting Rituals – that was where the best site was. Someone – one of the larger dragons had wedged an old log between two boulders, and jammed it with sticks and tree boughs. Adorning it were hordes of faes, wings humming, all wearing varying colours of nightglobes swirling through the boughs, stringing garlands of leaves and pretty arcane orbs. As the Tundras entered, several dragons looked over and gave great roars of greetings. Swiflty, they were mobbed – nose kisses, sniffs and tail wiggles from all sizes of dragons. “Are they here? Have Clan Tsuga arrived to share in our holiday festivities?” Inuksuk looked around – there were piled of foods, gathered recently – foods of all kinds, piles of presents, treasures and gems.  Anxiously, he looked, hoping to see some of those almost trademark shades of greens and yellows common to Clan Tsuga.
