Itβs nearly been two years that Iβve been working on this. Itβs the one piece that I wrote that I actually like, and to find that some people have come back and read it again is stunning. Thank you for everyone who has supported me. Maybe someday I will come back to writing. I want to, but Iβm really burnt out. Iβve been writing constantly with an update a day since 2021. So right now, Iβm just relaxing.

it wild to me that there are people out there who aren't interested in history
like wdym you don't think about the fact that women would tell stories as they made butter in the same way we listen to podcasts today? wdym you don't think about that one Chinese poet who wrote about how much he loved his cats hundreds of years ago? wdym you don't think about the fact that we found a gravesite of a young child surrounded by flowers from THOUSANDS of years ago? wdym you don't think about how people wrote "i was here" into the walls in Pompeii? wdym you don't think about the little egyptian boy who drew little doodles at the top of his school works more then a thousand years ago?
wdym you don't think about the fact that people, no matter the place, time, or social status, are fundamentally no different from you. that they loved the same as you, enjoyed the same things you did, dreamed about a better life the same way you did. that despite how seemingly detached you are from these people, in time, place, and culture, the things you do and what u are is so undeniably human that it transcends time and space

hi, sorry, I just wanted to ask, and this is prolly going to sound super dumb, are authors chill with people commenting on their old fanfics and stuff?
just want to make sure that I'm not inadvertently being annoying
I believe I speak for most authors when I say theyβll never be annoyed by any positive comments from their readers
βShe reaches for him with a tendril of shadowβ¦. He holds his hand out in welcome.β
How wonderful it must be to find that other half, that equal who welcomes you home no matter that pain that exists between you.
I absolutely loved this. It was beautifully crafted, Robin. π
Dawn Greeting Dusk Falling
A reimagining of the events after βSiege and Stormβ and a coping mechanism for the SaB S2 ending we would rather not haveβ¦
She had kept a little of his shadow, he enough of her light. This is what made it possible, this meeting at the roiling edge of the Fold where Alina knew she would one day find herself.
Fifty years did he say? She knew it had been more, and still it surprised her as the seasons dragged on that love had endured β the love of so many, and the love of one above all. Even if she had to watch each one shrouded and laid in the ground. Each and every one.
What she means to do here now is neither a reckoning, nor a reconciliation. The moment is simply right. She looks into the shadows, and lifts her hand. The globe of light is muted, as though in a fog; but she knows he will not fail to see it.
βAlina.β
There is no rage in the way he says her name, not even a question. They are past that, she supposes.
One who was too young, and one who lived too long; they were here now, nearly unchanged but for her white hair worn unbound. He did not expect her to come sooner, he knew time well enough. He might have thought he knew her as well.
She did not destroy the Fold.
Thought dead after the collapse of the Chapel, legend had it that her spirit guided skiffs as they made each journey. For not a soul has been lost to the Fold since.
That was how she knew that he wasnβt lost. And the knowledge, when she realized it, caused her that day to weep with joy.
The two of them lived because they could not let the other die; when his humanity was burning away, she held on blindly to what remained and he β¦ she could not name what he did, but in the end she knew he had kept her from falling into darkness.
He had kept β some essence, some hope? Light either way.
And a resolve not to lose her to the void.
What was left of him that day was drawn to the Fold, the only place where he could still exist.
A shadow among shadows.
βYou might have left me with a fresh set of clothes. An eternity disheveled is its own unique torture.β
She startles with laughter, the unexpected joy at the even more unexpected attempt at humor freeing the tension in her shoulders. She lets herself smile at him, and his smile is genuine as he smiles back.
βAre you angry?β she asks.
βWhat is anger for?β is his reply.
Flame sputtering to life in sunlight has more purpose.
A silence heavy as the weight of loss they now share settles between them.
βI could not bear it if you turned from me now.β
He spoke the truth. It was the same truth she would always understand, no matter the centuries left to them, no matter their choices that will always hang in the balance.
She reaches for him with a tendril of shadow.
He holds out his hand in welcome.

It was raining, and an oldies station he knew you loved was playing as you laid curled in his bed, warm and sleepy while he smoked. His scent of vanilla and clean linen surrounded you.
His fingers touched your head sitting on the side of the bed, βBilly,β you mumbled, eyes fluttering as you reached for him with your eyes closed, wanting more of his touch.
He chuckled, knuckles brushing your cheek. βSleepy, baby?β He hummed, taking a drag off his cigarette, and admiring how pretty you look wrapped in his sheets. Soft and warm, and inviting.
It made him fucking ache. You were his, not in a way of possession like had thought, but more in the way of you were his to care for, to protect, to love. Things he never thought possible of himself.
He always thought he was just some asshole who thought he could have the good things in life. Things he didnβt think he deserved.
But you always saw the good in Billy, even when he couldnβt see it himself. Your idealism often clashed with his cynicism. But he wouldnβt trade you for the world. His fingers stroked your face, and you yawned.
βMhm,β you mumbled, pulling on him, your eyes half lidded. βCome to bed, Billy.β You said, sweetly. You tilted your head, pulling on him again. βCanβt sleep without you against my back.β You said, yawning again.
He stood up, kissing your forehead, before putting out his cigarette, and turning the music off, before he began to undress. It was the last thing you were aware of, besides his body pressing against your back, making you sigh.
You felt warm and safe in his embrace, and you clung to the feeling of happiness, a feeling so foreign to you.
But maybe it didnβt have to be.
