Lust has wandering eyes. For the one in love, the gaze is fixed...

Random Xpressions

Well, I almost managed to put it off for a full 15 years, and it took me almost five months to actually play but

Eventually all things must end, including my time with Kyle Hyde, and, by the light of the Christmas tree, I finished Last Window: Secrets of Cape West and the accompanying novel.

I have a lot of thoughts that I’ll eventually gather and throw in the queue but right now I just have feelings.

If you’ve been following me long enough you will know I will go to truly absurd lengths to avoid finishing a game if I don’t want to. I am truly an artist of bullshit. And I really didn’t want to finish this game because… I can’t explain to you what Kyle means to me. Meant to me. I don’t know. But I knew if I read the last page and closed the book then I would have to say goodbye. There would be nothing left to his story.

And I’ll admit, I’m feeling a little unmoored. But I know now more about what made Kyle into the man I loved when I was a child, the one who was the hero I needed growing up in an unstable environment and I didn’t have a strong father figure who loved me in the way I needed. And love’s never lost when perspective is earned.

So, goodbye, Kyle Hyde. Goodbye, Rachel and Ed. Goodbye, Red Crown. Goodbye, Mila. Goodbye, Bradley. Goodbye, Chris and Jeanie. Goodbye to the Cape West apartments and to the Hotel Dusk and to everyone at both.

But the woman who sits at the window has, finally, turned out the light.

Settled

A Poly Marauders Fluff and Smut Fic. For @krethes ❤️❤️❤️

Lily loves these moments, the stolen glances she gets when they are soft together and don’t know they’re being watched. The three of them are so completely, so inextricably linked that nothing could rip them apart, not even if they tried.

It took her a while to realize that she is part of this and not an interloper intruding—even when it was just her with James and him with Remus and Sirius, too—that they love her like an extension of them. Lily is so grateful for the way they’ve allowed her to be part of their lives. Now she couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.

~*~

Lily loves all three of her boys, and they've made a lovely life together. Only, things aren't quite completely settled yet.

Read it here on AO3.

Sir William stayed only a week at Hunsford, but his visit was long enough to convince him of his daughter's being most comfortably settled, and of her possessing such a husband and such a neighbour as were not often met with.

Doodle from a while ago

An au version of Settled, but mostly just an excuse to doodle them just unhinged. It did end up fitting with a few new details of a timeline branch where their brother joins the villain they were fighting as kids instead of the encounter just making their relationship a bit iffy, in the end so I worked out :D

I have made it to my host home. I am so thankful to my host family. It's so hard to contain my excitement. There is so much I want to learn, say, and experience, I'm practically bursting.

They insisted I rest :)

Still need to get a sim card but I have wifi.

I want to say, thank you to everyone who made this possible and provided for me to be able to be here. I can't wait to share the stories.
