#fairwell family values

[marrowminded]

Dwarf Lupine (Lupinus caespitosus); a symbol of the cycle of rebirth, abundance, and change. “ They began the day as six and one, at dusk they became two, and by moonrise they were seven. Keeper was always his favorite, of course - the only one he ever buried. And some nights, if you find your way out to the circle, you’ll see someone’s left flowers on her headstone, right under that weeping eye. “

Finally finished this after months of futzing! The origin of Thir; a wolf-beast riddled with rage at an untimely, mortal wound, a band of weary travelers who found themselves at the business end of his dying bitterness, and Keeper Fairwell, the last woman standing, armed with nothing more than a healing spell and a shred of mercy.

spicy childhood memories for morgan (and anya, however wee she may have been...)

in summary; a whole slew of convoluted tragedies took place over the course of the first 8 years of Morgan’s life - her birth (unplanned), the death of her maternal great-grandmother, Theophania, and the subsequent responsibility placed upon her father as new liaison of the town to the outside world; Anya’s birth was also unplanned, and shortly thereafter, their maternal grandmother Marta died by goading Marrow into killing her. Publicly, violently, and with Morgan’s mother attempting to intervene. Morgan and Anya may not have seen it happen, but they heard enough to get the idea. Marta refused the pact when she came of age, and loathed Marrow for the hold he had over her own mother’s attention and life, but respected him as an equal and a fair beast, if a selfish one. When she found herself rapidly spiraling downward in both health and mental fortitude a bit ahead of her time, she decided if she was going out, she’d rather go out on her own terms - and who better to rip you from this domain than the one who oversees it?

rip to Morgan's mom. I keep making her worse

sorry iris. you will be irreversibly changed by the death of your mother and handle it poorly because you are barely thirty years old (and surrounded by people who praise her death as peaceful and noble when to you it was nothing more than wasteful cowardice) and with your last shred of human empathy you will commit yourself to making sure your daughters never love you enough to mourn you when you die-
