Part One | Part Two

4.3.2025 - Headcanons - Permanent Memories. part two

As shown in Lifestyle Black, a short story in On the Way to A Smile, Sephiroth’s descent into the Lifestream was supposed to mark his rebirth by a complete shedding of past attachments and weaknesses.

In Fantasy Worlds Collide, among the first things he would attempt to erase was his love for Bianca, as emotions contradicted his pursuit of absolute control and self-reinvention. However, Bianca’s presence within him refused to be purged, persisting in ways that defied even the vast, consuming nature of the Lifestream. This struggle between forgetting and remembering transforms his love into something far more dangerous, an obsession that reshapes his perception of their destiny.

The second part of this article delves into the psychological and metaphysical implications of Sephiroth’s failed erasure of Bianca, exploring how their connection not only survives but strengthens more. Ultimately, their connection binds them together in a cycle neither can escape. This is only explaining the Red String of Fate and the nature of their bond. It does not take in account that she has Jenova and S-cells.

Chapter 5 kiss beneath/among the stars/Take my hand

Daria was lying on the beach watching the stars.

After they learned more about this area of the sea Mason was more comfortable surfing at night.

Daria wasn’t but was more then willing to keep him company.

And the stars were glorious.

Though Daria was awful at identifying which stars they were.

Mason decided that was his last run.

When he noticed that a bull shark was surfing along side him.

“You bite me, I’ll bite you right back.” He found now he could partially transform at all times. The claws and teeth were the easiest.

“Take my hand” Mason pulled Daria up and she jumped into his arms.

She kissed him, passionately.

Mason deepened the kiss but not too much. Daria was too shy.

WIP Wednesday!

Tagged by @jev-urisk, thank you! I don't have a lot to post here since I'm focused on Rosehorn edits and what I was going to put here (Springtime Sweetness) has already been posted. So here's a snippet from Cupbearer:

Buy my latest book, Springtime Sweetness, on Itch.io!

Or get it here with the Books2Read link!

Want to read it before you buy? Springtime Sweetness will release on 4/22 for my Ream followers, and 4/29 for public readers on my Ream page! I’ve also got jealous gods and trans Victorian vampires over there.

Buy me a pizza?

Buy me a Ko-Fi?

Join the fun by interacting with my taglist post!

Been in a writing funk/dry run, so I've slowly been working on getting writing back into my routine. Currently, this is a random snippet I'm working on, but not getting success:

Hope dwindled faster than supplies soaked in bittersweet memories. Ale was a desired currency; unfortunately, it was hard to find and fast to flee. As a sigh swirled and faded around two people, a pair of green eyes glimmered softly in the dim lighting. It was hard to miss. The sorrow, remorse, and regret drove home whenever those green eyes gazed at her. Despite knowing, she had to deny his marrow-deep urge to flee. She'd advise him of the situation, which could turn at any time. And yet, he stubbornly stood by his choices. Now, look at him... "Thinking too deeply again, I take it?" The inquiry was neck-deep in concern and laced with hope. Wordlessly, he nodded and patted the air next to him with what fading energy he could muster.

Thank you for voting everyone, I really appreciate it! I thought I'd share some starting headcanons about Jace. More might be added soon! :)

• When he first meets Mary, it's love at first sight. She's like a beautiful angel to him. He is very protective of her, as he wants nothing more than to keep her safe.

But the same can't be said for her comrade, Kyle Crane (Libby’s paternal figure). Though Jace displays an amicable exterior, he secretly sees him as a threat to his relationship with Mary.

• Jace isn't very empathetic towards Laura. In fact, he isn't bothered about ensuring the little girl's safety at all, much to Mary's anger.

I think this could be a reflection of James's single-minded focus on Mary, which is often at the expense of treating Angela, Libby, Eddie, Laura and Maria with apathy.

• There's going to be two separate stories that will connect at various points, but I'm afraid I'm not quite sure how that would work at the moment. They are as follows:

We have Libby with James and Maria, whilst Kyle is with Mary and Jace.

One possible instance is when Maria is killed in Brookhaven Hospital. Jace will die at the same time and he has a more gruesome death. But ultimately, they will be brought back from the dead as time passes.

• Jace has a smoking habit and the animal that's associated with him is a raven.
