A Petal-Perfect Memory

There was a time, long before the mess of it all, where he was a mortal man. A quiet clever lad with a shy smile and an ounce of self-consciousness. He never thought that a circus would be the one to change his life forever.

He dribbled around the idea of joining this particular company, because it meant leaving everything behind; his town, the people, his closest friends and family. It made his chest tighten with anxiety. Who would want to hire a man that only made his 15 minutes of fame? That’s absurd in the job markets.

Yet, this wasn’t some ordinary circus, according to its flamboyant Ring Master. Why squander the chance to entertain people beyond Faêrun, hells, beyond the Realms? Anybody would kill to be in his position.

The last fond memory he cherished from home, a child gifted him a small bundle of dead flowers. Despite the state of its brittle roots and chipping petals, they tearfully explained their failure to grow a good-luck charm; a reminder of everyone’s support.

He smiled, and found solace over something so delicate. He gently accepted it as he decorated his vest.

“You’ve given me a wonderful gift,” he told the child, “I’ll take good care of it because it will remind me to ‘leaf’ my worries behind. I know now that my journey will blossom.”

The child giggled as he wiped his face. “I’m… ‘rooting’ for you, Mister Norris!”

“Thank you, I’m so fern-tunate to have all of you.” He winked before joining in laughter.

Creation is a weird thing.

You make something because you're excited about it, or you're plucking your little tiny thing out and sharing it because you just think it's neat - a character, a pairing, a tale that has captured you and you want to share this thing that's lit up your mind.

But there's nothing you can do about what happens next - how others will see that same thing - how they'll respond to it, or to you. You're putting your heart on the table and that can be terrifying and exciting.

So often it's wonderful; but it's not always. Sometimes you get heartbroken in a whole other way you didn't realise you could, and there's something so painful about realising you've lost something you loved dearly because of how people responded to it.

How perhaps others saw something you didn't intend, or took only the bits they wanted and left the bits you treasured most. Maybe nobody responded at all.

You want to just make things for yourself, and tell yourself it doesn't matter what people think; why should you lose your joy?

Most days we can do that. Some days we can't.

Anyway, I just wanted to write this to say that if you saw this and it's something you've felt too - I'm sorry. It's ok to mourn. Your creation is still for you, no matter what.

posting niche fic on ao3 is like releasing a small creature into the wild and hoping it survives and finds sustenance

The prayers ushered over one another, knelt together. Worship upon worship, reaching and seeking, found, and lost.

"I am your willing whip, Maiden, I am your giving hand-"

"-Lord Ilmater, I beseech you, look upon me and behold my sin-"

"-In embrace of your most sacred gift."

"Let me be absolved before your weeping majesty."

"Let me be absolved before your sacred pain."

"Until I can bear a fraction -"

"Of your burden-"

"Sufferer, we shall."

Donnick x Abdirak (aka Soup)

Kuja (Final Fantasy 9) x Terra (Final Fantasy 6) - my most doomed of crack ships, courtesy of the Dissidia series.

This is for you - the incredible soul who wrote a fic for them that has haunted me for years. 💛

Snippet continues below the cut.

As they hold there in the air, wind whipping around them in a starlit sky that isn’t real - she knows that this moment is all they have.

This isn’t real either, is it? This time is stolen. This feeling, burgeoning and too small, too new to understand - could that be real when nothing else is?

It is growing as they cling to something vanishing.
