hello!! I just read the last CN chapter (for like, the 5th(?) time) and ahhhh it has me filled with so many emotions. The world building, the relationships, the consequences starting to come to fruition, the set up for eclipse!!! I will probably continuing reading it many a time just to continue filling my mind with it. truly, it makes me happy. I am dying to have one question answered: what happened with the drawing that Bella made for Edward? He says he didn’t pack before, so was it left there? how did he react to seeing it again? thank you for being amazing, and I hope you have a spectacular day!!! (p.s. I am the anon who sent you the immaculate hot cross buns vibes. I am glad you enjoyed it bc I nearly shrieked when I saw it.)

omg the Notorious H.C.B. anon, welcome back!! love seeing familiar anons in the inbox & not just bc i get to come up with a nickname :) so happy you love the fic & that it makes you happy aksdjflsdkj!!!!! knowing someone returns to your work is one of the best compliments & greatest joys about writing, thank you thank you thank you so much for being here!!! appreciate your time :)

funny you ask about this specific thing bc i've thought about it A Lot. sadly, i don't think i'll ever find a place for this lil detail

what happened with the drawing that Bella made for Edward?

he has it. he took it out of the frame & folded it into a tiny paper swan & carried it around with him everywhere. it serves as a reminder that she's alive & human & he can't go back home. (if he goes back he kills her. & then the little swan must die per the law of the cranes. lol)

if he left the drawing behind...

he would have stared at it. for hours. probably why he took so long to pack tbh

#asks #come nightfall #ANYWAY in the first draft of Volterra Edward drank Bells' blood (whoops) & was wearing a suitjacket w/ the swan in it #so she would've found it in the pocket of the jacket but it would've been stained with her blood. ~symbolism~#in the first draft of the dungeon scene he's wearing the same jacket bc he got ambushed by the guard on his way to Romania #& has been held in captivity for so long he's gone feral #& he gives her the little swan sans blood as 'proof' that she's alive (things were way different back then)#in the first draft of the post-Volterra scene i had Bells helping Edward pack up his shit #and in my notes she's supposed to notice the succulent pic is gone but the frame is still hung up and there's glass everywhere #well needless to say her drawing has come up multiple times in drafts!#thank you for asking! what a wild coincidence!!!#these questions are so fun bc i usually have an answer but i never get to say anything!#YOU have a spectacular day anon!!#thank you as always for reading & for being here - it's a pleasure :)
