    Summary

    Twenty to thirty years. She had done the math in that courtroom and landed on thirty-seven and let herself exhale for the first time in years. She had been seventeen and wearing a blouse her mother had pressed the night before because her mother had needed something to do with her hands in the same way her Nanay was cooking all day, and she had sat in the second row and listened to the sentence and let the number settle over her like something solid. Like a foundation. Like something she could build on top of.

    She was twenty-eight.

    And he had been good.

    or

    trinity's roommate moved out, her situation-ship is over, and her abuser was just released from prision.

    "ribs" by the crane wives
    and a masterfully told story of women so belligerently in love and so much more than you think and such impossible things they are hardly fathomable but there is happiness to be found and stood by

    Summary

    Anyone who ever told Sousuke he’d die alone surely never accounted for a public execution.

    It isn’t the first time he has been ass up in a near death situation. While he holds no record among mankind in this world by any means, the count is certainly higher than average, he’d estimate, that he finds himself ass up in a near death situation. He has always managed to turn it around, to sit his ass back down on the ground so to speak, but something about this particular situation tells him his luck is run out.

    everything is nothing but a choice. instead of fear a flame will make you choose leaving behind who you would be. there are no similes to convey the stripping of self to grow a new layer made of new love. to choose differently despite

    Summary

    Five years after the revolution that made him both a hero and a failure, Sylvain Jose Gautier is living a quiet rural life, having given up his titles, sold his lands, and left his friends behind. Though he has tried to put his past behind him, it comes back to haunt him when Edelgard asks him to undertake one last mission for her, forcing him to reconnect with old friends and confront the man he was, the man he is, and the man he wishes to be.

     

    (A post-Crimson Flower story wherein Sylvain, Felix and Ingrid were recruited to the Eagles and tried to save Dimitri from himself by fighting on both sides of the war. Spoilers for Crimson Flower, with many borrowed elements of Azure Moon. Updates every Friday.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    'longing to be anything other than yourself' and 'didnt you have to promise a hundred times not to die?' and 'loving you is a long river running'. becomes 'in the next world should i remember this one i will praise it above everything'. becomes 'instead of dreaming now i love'. becomes the sincerest of knights finally. many people with one grief turn around and face being united finally. love finds places to go finally. things unhoped for take root
    -
    possibly the most tantalising and taciturn creation i have read. ive never gone here but feel like ive been properly converted by the completely devoid of proselytising narration. every emotion hurts. mwah
