A DOVE, shut up in a cage, was boasting of the large number of young ones which she had hatched. a crow, hearing her, said: “my good friend, cease from this unreasonable boasting. the larger the number of your family, the greater the cause of sorrow, in seeing them shut up in this prison-house.” multimuse (canon & original) written by qt.

“I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT. THE HOLIDAY, i mean. it’s just one big excuse to kiss people, since apparently regular folk’re too chickenshit to just do that on any other day of the year.” red makes a face at the tv screen as she lounges on the couch, idly swinging one of her legs over its arm. her rabbit is sulking under the coffee table in front of her, tired and irritated that he’s still awake at this hour. not that this is unusual for him, but the reasoning for it is a bit different from what he’s used to. midnight is a time for hunting, for spellcasting —— not watching some bullshit ceremony for some bullshit concept he has no faith in.

jake rolls over on his side and huffs. smoke drifts from his nostrils and his breath ignites the edge of the carpet. red rolls her eyes and tosses one of the throw pillows on the smoldering fabric, smothering the flame before it even has a chance to live. she points a finger at the rabbit. “stop it, you big ninny. we’ve only got three minutes left and counting.”

in response, jake flattens his ears against his skull and sighs.

SHE PACES AROUND THE MIRROR: THE CLASSIC LIONHEART, trapped in girlskin. red gives her reflection a cursory once-over, and then glances back at rohini, expression catlike and curious. there’s something deceptively relaxing about her posture —— never mind the fact that the hilt of an old iron sword pokes from the curls of her hair, just over her shoulder. it’s the season of shadows. you never know what might be lurking around the corner.

red places a hand on her hip. the other beckons towards the mirror. “someone told me once that mirrors steal a part of your soul every time you look into one.” she pointedly keeps her eyes on rohini, wonders if she’s biased. the fae don’t like mirrors. makes them nervous. not that they worry about their souls, but —— sometimes it’s hard to control what, exactly, looks back at you. they don’t like things they can’t control.

there, look! in the reflection: SOMETHING BLACK DRIPS FROM THE BASE OF HER SWORD, disappears even before it has a chance to strike the ground.

RENDER:// @taromancies ( a thing. )

IT IS NOT THE STARS THAT SHINE BRIGHTER WHERE LOVE BLOOMS BETWEEN ! –––––––– it is the TWO of them painting lovely MIRAGE of the perfection found in each other SUPPLEMENTAL , shimmering with all the BEAUTY that the universe cannot imagine in anything else but THEIRS. where her thighs sit on either side of his hips , MOONCHILD a gem in his lap SELFISHLY hoarded until all he knows is the touch & & smell of RED. he smiles beneath DELPHIC lips , heart ATHUNDER where wild tangles & & soft curls kiss his KNUCKLES & & cradle his palms knot affectionately in her hair. it is where they MEET , intertwined in the very UNIQUE grasp of new year’s only tradition WHENCE lovers indulge despite the cheesiness of it all. ( he’s always been a romantic anyway ) when they finally pull apart , RELUCTANTLY like the undeniable attraction of endless gravity , he SIGHS with a contentment that only comes from she who has FILLED a hole in his heart he didn’t know he HAD. ❝ happy new year to you too. ❞ the smug smirk he wears is TEMPERED by the way pupils expand to FRAME the divine in his vision — always respectful , always adored. ( the trademark of the ALL-CONSUMING way he has become attached to her ) –––––––– emboldened , he continues , ❝ you taste KIND of nice. i can’t put my finger on it. HOLD ON , let me try again. ❞ smirk only WIDENS once more as he leans in to conduct his hastily concocted EXPERIMENT.

THEY SIT SIDE-BY-SIDE, RABBIT AND GIRL, on the edge of the house’s rickety roof. there is a horizon spanning out in front of them on all sides, with more colors than either of them can say. this is novel to them: a new year, a new concept. there is no time in the otherworld. no years, no months, no days. red and jake watch the sun rise like it always does. but it is different, somehow, in a way that has no words. red feels it —— in the clouds, and the dormant trees, and the seeds hiding beneath the frozen soil. AND IN THE MAGIC. especially the magic, cloying in her throat, begging to be used.

jake climbs in her lap. she idly strokes his back, fingers leaving trails of light against his fur.

“cuimhnich an-còmhnaidh,” she hears herself say, as they watch the sunrise. they are not her words; THEY’RE OCCULT AND OLD, first said by hundreds of people hundreds of years ago, with hopes and dreams in mind. “na duilgheadasan a tha a 'dol seachad. aach ca dìochuimhnich gu bràth cuimhn’na beannachdan a thaig a h’uile lathà.”

a pause, and silence. the old irish wish settles like sunshine into her skin. she smiles.

always remember to forget the troubles that pass away, but never forget to remember the blessings that come each day.

#happy 2k19 yall

happy new year ??? happy new year !!!
