I don’t think I’m going to be able to run EasterTAG this year guys, I’m sorry but just have too much on my plate right now with study and stuff.

Shiro’s Birthday

Yay! I have one thing completed for Shiro’s birthday that I’ve been working on for about two months now. So excited to share it on the 29th.

Also, am hopefully gonna start work on FabFiveFeb by @gumnut-logic for all my Tag friends out there, and start working on Easter prompts.

AND, I was writing more for Lonely in a Crowd last night, so hopefully I’ll complete that soon (after a couple months of not updating... whoops)

So, lots of excitement in the near future.

Did you see our painted Easter egg animals a couple of days ago? We loved them s… Did you see our painted Easter egg animals a few days in the past? We cherished them a lot that we determined to make use of the design once more to make these cute little Easter egg animal present tags.

[ak47stylegirl]

Well I spent half of the day in bed, not wanting to get up. I did finally get up around 12 ish and I set myself some simple tasks to do

Even though I was able to do two of them, I still feel bummed that I haven’t gotten back into a routine. I spent the day in a weird limbo doing not much.

I did do a little bit of writing, working on the next chapter of life changes. I was able to get everyone’s prompts out for EasterTAG. I watched YouTube.

I guess I did do stuff, I’m just feeling a bit, I don’t know, stuck in a weird place between feeling sick and well. It’s not nice.

It’s frustrating that I’m unable do get back to normal, maybe tomorrow I’ll try getting up earlier and try to get myself on track but honestly, I’m just feeling really bummed out right now.

I am giving away these four Easter tags using @ecraftdesigns small Easter egg dies to one lucky person who joins in on the hop fun. #bloghop #eastertags #elizabethcraftdesigns #ecraftdesigns #crafting #handmadecards #distressoxidespray https://www.instagram.com/p/BvOS5llH5Ld/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ykbcxw67gp58

[tracybirds]

Happy Birthday @ak47stylegirl ! I’m pretty sure you like some whump and I KNOW you love Allie and Scott so I hope you enjoy the read and have had a nice day :) Thank you for organising the EasterTAG, for sharing your own stories and for generally being such a cheerleader for us all :D

Fun facts for everyone, writing this I learnt that most freefall over about 9 metres is fatal so anyway, that’s why I had to make poor Scott uh.... bounce.... um... do with that information what you will

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alan hovered on the edge of his vision and Scott bit back a sigh. He hadn’t seen his brother properly in nearly three days. John told him quietly that he’d spent the entire night curled up beside Scott’s bed. He had refused to see him before the surgery and wouldn’t stay to fly Scott home, a decision that still cut him deeply. Despite the low murmurs of reassurance that he could hear through the door as people came in and out of his room, no-one in the family had managed to convince Alan to actually come in and talk to him. An hour ago Gordon had left the door open, ignoring Scott’s irritated call and given Alan a long, significant look before flouncing away.

Scott had been watching him ever since. He could see his youngest brother clearly now, still pacing outside and trying to pluck up the nerve to walk into the room. But it didn’t bring the two any closer together.

Scott had been patient, but the constant and silent presence was starting to grate against him. He needed to speak with his brother.

“Alan, just come in,” he finally said, unable to wait any longer.

Alan startled at the sudden noise.

Scott beckoned and although Alan was as wary as a stray kitten, he crept hesitantly forwards.

“How’re you feeling?” he asked quietly, slipping back into the chair he’d reportedly vacated several hours earlier.

“I’m doing okay, kid.” Scott tried to twist his neck to look over at his brother, but the movement caused sharp pain to radiate from his left shoulder and he hissed in discomfort.

Alan only looked more upset.

“Grandma said you were getting better.”

“I am. Surgery went well. It’s just gonna take a while before I’m back where I was.”

“I’m so sorry, Scott,” he said, the tears welling up in his eyes again as he looked up at his big brother.

“It’s not your fault, Allie,” said Scott with a soft smile. “You couldn’t have done anything differently.”

“I should have thought of something,” he said, his expression mulish. “Instead of waiting to be rescued.”

“I made that call, Alan,” said Scott. “It was my call to make and I’m proud that you followed my directions to the letter.”

“But it meant you got hurt.”

“It meant that you didn’t die,” corrected Scott gently.

Alan blinked at him, his exhausted brain processing that statement.

“It looks worse than it is.”

Alan snorted in disbelief.

“It looks like you dislocated your shoulder and then decided to get pummelled by a mountain before landing on the ground below with a concussion to match.”

“I don’t have a concussion.”

“You do have brain damage though if you think it looks worse than it is. Have you seen yourself?”

“It doesn’t even hurt that much anymore.”

“That’s because you’re on painkillers.”

“And God bless the man who invented them,” said Scott, lifting his good arm in slow celebration.

“I think you’re still high.”

Scott shrugged and then groaned as his vision whited out from the pain.

“Remind me not to do that again,” he said, grimacing.

“Sure thing. Hey Scott?”

“Not now, Alan.”

Behind the worry, Scott saw Alan’s lips twitch. The old joke and familiar banter with his youngest brother was going a long way to reassuring Scott that he was doing okay. But there was still that guarded look in Alan’s eyes, the look that had only begun to appear recently as Alan begun to lock away his emotions.

“How are you feeling, Allie?” he asked softly, suspecting he already knew the answer.

Alan’s face fell again and he avoided his brother’s gaze. Scott sighed.

“Get over here,” he muttered, holding his good arm out to draw Alan into a hug.

Alan burrowed into him and Scott ignored the slight burn in his chest that might be his aching heart if his ribs weren’t feeling so battered and bruised.

“I keep seeing you,” he said in a voice barely louder that the waves crashing on the rocks far below them. “Down at the bottom of the mountain.”

Scott froze.

There’s a big hole in his memory, his last memory of that day was Alan’s terrified, agonised face staring down at him from above as he slipped out of his baby brother’s grasp. Three days, and he’d not once wondered what Alan’s memory of that moment was. He’d never considered how for Alan, that moment of horror didn’t end with a jumbled mess of confused sensations overwhelming his body before blacking out from the first impact with the hard rock. That the moment might have continued beyond his own capacity for consciousness.

Some big brother he was.

“Allie, I…” began Scott, trailing off as his words only made the teenager cry harder.

“I dropped you, Scott.”

“You caught me.” Bile rose in his throat at that memory, a visceral reaction to the sharp jolt of pain that had run through his shoulder as it dislocated. He’d definitely been awake then.

“I dropped you and you fell and you kept smashing into the rocks and then you didn’t get up again,” repeated Alan, his words a solemn and desperate confession. “And then… then I let you lie there. Virgil asked what happened and I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t move.”

He took in a shaky breath and clutched at Scott tightly.

“Virgil and Gordon got you out of there. I couldn’t… I didn’t…”

Scott didn’t know what to say. He just held Alan close, murmuring nonsense like his parents had taught him when they first placed a baby brother in his arms.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t save you,” whispered Alan into his chest.

“You did everything you could,” said Scott gently. “I’m sorry you had to live through that.”

“But why couldn’t I help?” asked Alan, sounding lost and confused and young. “I’ve never frozen like that before.”

“You were in shock Allie,” said Scott. “You went into shock because it doesn’t matter how often you do it, with family it’s always different.”

“It is?”

Scott nodded, his throat closing up as he held back his own memories from spilling over.

“It never changes.”

A tap on the doorframe made them both look up.

Virgil was standing there, an odd mixture of relief and sorrow on his face.

“Time for more meds,” he said simply, waiting for Alan to move back. “Alan, go help Gordon with the cooking for tonight.”

Alan’s looked between the two brothers, wanting nothing more but to stay with Scott.

“Allie, come on,” called Gordon, his eyes flitting up towards Virgil.

Scott narrowed his eyes, knowing full well that Virgil and Gordon were tag teaming them, but Alan left without protest.

He paused in the doorframe, watching as Virgil moved to Scott’s side.

“Hey Scott?”

“Yeah?”

His little brother’s eyes were blue and bright as he looked back at Scott.

“Don’t do that again.”

The reminder stung.

“I won’t.”

Guys, I have a confession to make. As some of you probably noticed I was rewriting Glow for the CaptainSwanRewriteathon. And I finished it. And I was pretty pleased.

Then this virus appeared, then I found out I'm particularly vunerable to it (and as you know I work in frontline pharmacy), and despite the best efforts of the incomparable @katie-dub to chivvy me along... I got into a bad place.

I'm in a bad place, babes.

So I won't be posting in April. I can't. I cannot offer the fic or you guys the effort or enthusiasm you deserve. I'm kinda cut up - I've always been a little bit smug about hitting my big bang goals in the past - but the fic is complete and will come, but not as part of the event.

Big love to Kaitlyn, Saira, Phira, B and all the discord fam, esp those of you I didn't know before. You're a real bunch of superstars, you really are.

I don't know what's happening with EasterTAG. I'm hoping I won't have to let anyone down there too. It's a sucky feeling.
