Marika's village, oh my god...
so beautiful and sad.
it's this field of flowers, bright and colorful and shining with gold. peaceful and quiet and as you move the birds are leaving, not loud and scared, but gentle and at peace
entering it you find the healing tree spell Melina uses, and then the description kills you.
"Only the kindness of Gold, without the Order."
"Marika bathed the village of her home in gold, knowing full well that there was no one to heal."
then the slow walk on the hill, ever covered in flowers, so many flowers.
you reach the top, and inside the hollow trunk of a burned old tree, the Grandmother's statue lies, with a strand of Marika's hair left at its feet.
I'm gonna cry

So we fought one of the chosen of the three big evil gods, we're going against an Elder Brain and the two that still control it, we might sneak in the house of another devil to steal - have I missed anything? - and we can't go back to Avernus to avoid the imminent collapse of the one I fell for!?
Anika lets out a howl of frustration. Rage even. No matter how far from the camp, that was probably very well audible still. Better cool off somewhere far from her before she can do something she might regret, but hells, this is painful.
And she's so close to the breaking point by now.

bluestar spending the last months of her life convinced her entire clan are traitors out to get her, fireheart desperately acting as a bridge between them even though the clan resents and blames him for their problems, only to remember in her last moments how deeply she loved them all and is loved by them
mistystar spending her entire life pretending that her whole clan didn’t allow what happened to her + stonefur + their apprentices to happen, putting aside her bitterness and grief and rage to be a good leader to them, feeling like her son reedwhisker is the only cat she can truly trust to have as her deputy, hoping desperately she made the right choice by staying. and then finally, when she is the oldest cat in the clans, she gets the chance to reform things, to change the rules to prevent something like tigerclan from ever happening again, only for her clan to look at her and say you’re fucking crazy, why would you want this, that could never happen again, maybe somewhere else but not here, and in her last moments while her last precious child is far off in the woods being murdered and her heart is giving out she realises her mistake

gideon nav who has been abused all her life for simply existing. gideon nav who was so lonely and ignored that harrowhark hating her meant more than anything. gideon nav who thinks that harrowhark doesn't love her. and that's okay, she still wants to be her cavalier, still wants to give her everything to the reverend daughter, it's okay if she doesn't love gideon. gideon loves her regardless. gideon nav who gives harrowhark everything without expecting anything in return because serving harrow is the reward she needs. gideon nav who wants to be torn apart and used and consumed by her beloved. gideon nav who has golden eyes. gideon nav thinking that harrow's desperate attempt to save her was a rejection. gideon nav who thinks that harrowhark wasted her when harrowhark wanted to preserve her. gideon nav who was brought back by god, made invincible by god, renamed by god, claimed by god. gideon nav who doesn't quite remember that when people say kiriona they're referring to her. gidon nav—prince kiriona gaia, who realized her dream of being in the cohort, and yet she is sad, so sad, the saddest girl in the whole universe. gideon nav who simply looks like she wants to be kissed. gideon–kiriona who lives in her corpse that doesn't bruise, doesn't bleed, doesn't feel like a body anymore. gideon nav
