(exhausted numbness after crying)

The verdict is back. The stab wound from Hades’s sword going straight through Seiya’s… everything vital for living… is incredibly severe, and if he makes it through surgery, he might survive, but it’s looking grim. Jab slinks off to his room and locks the door behind him, feeling sick and helpless. He mechanically pulls off his Cloth, and then his clothes, pulling on a pair of sweatpants before sitting on the edge of the bed.( Read more... )

Carnistir sighs softly when he finds Findaráto asleep at his desk, face pillowed on his arms.

“And they say I’m the workaholic,” he murmurs softly, moving to wake the other. There’s no need to rush anymore, but he supposes that Findaráto’s extensive time spent with humans in Endórë instilled him with a greater need for haste than most others. They’re in Valinor once more,and time is, as it has always been, meaningless here.( Read more... )

Hador is worn and travel-stained when Fingolfin welcomes him back into his halls. He is glad to see his friend, and even gladder still to see a bath. He bathes, ruminating on what he has learned on his travels, and he thinks still when he slips into his quarters to find Fingolfin sat at a small table, with a bottle of wine and two cups, reading a book. Hador, clad in a fresh shirt and wool leggings, sits on the edge of the bed with a soft groan if relief.( Read more... )

(neon lights at 1:30am)

The light pierces Dégel’s skull like a knife. He’s only had one drink, so it’s not the alcohol. He thinks it’s a combination of the volume of the music, the way that they’ve turned the bass up far too high, and the way neon lights pierce the otherwise dark and crowded space.( Read more... )

A little over eight years ago, right? It’s colder, without the sun. Has been getting colder, bit by bit. A deeply cynical part of her wonders, morbidly, how long it will take for the pitiful remnants of humanity to freeze to death.( Read more... )

(watching a meteor shower)

The hill is crowded with all of them. Jab feels a warmth in his heart he’d never actually own up to at this sight of all nine of his, okay, fine, friends, sitting on several blankets passing snacks around. It’s chilly in the middle of the night- morning?- and everyone is finally out of the hospital, though Seiya’s not supposed to be doing anything strenuous. They’d had an entertaining time getting his wheelchair up here. Sanctuary is surprisingly unfriendly to people who can’t climb a billion and a half stairs. Jab flops down in the nearest empty patch of blanket, staring up at the expanse of stars.( Read more... )
