Knock, Knock
Dearest Tumblrs,
I know I have been MIA for the longest of times, but I havenât left yâall yet. My father died 46 days ago. Iâm still processing that, still getting used to the presence of his absence. I have spent the majority of 2024 caring for two parents while holding down a full-time job; differentiating between sickness and illness, conditions and diseases, and watching a loved one fall into an invincible decline and eventually succumb to the inevitable.
I have never experienced profound loss before, and it is a hurt unlike any other I have ever experienced. I thought because I was there, I saw it unfolding in real time 24/7 that I would be prepared when the time came.
I was not. I never was.
Iâm still grieving, still reeling from the sucker-punch that is death, still tiptoeing around a landmine of emotions, all while being a productive employee and dutiful daughter and caretaker to my remaining parent.
I donât sleep well (and havenât for over a year), listening for bumps and cries in the night and waiting to hear my name called because Iâm needed. I donât go out unless itâs to run errands: grocery store, car maintenance, pick up prescriptions. I spend 9 hours at a paid job (forgoing my lunch hour so I can come home and make beds, empty commodes, and fix lunch for my mom; before dadâs decline got too bad, I fed them both).
Thereâs laundry to wash, dry, fold; bathrooms to clean, floors to mop, rooms to sweep and vacuum, meals to cook. Mail and packages have to be both sent out and brought in. And since dad left, I have to take care of what is left of his business as well as get help with keeping the house standing. The furnace had to be replaced; there was a gas leak and piping had to be repaired and restored. The main sewer line was clogged and had to be cleared. I still need to find a reliable yard person to rake and bag the leaves.
 Iâm strong because I have to be, not because I want to be.
During all of this, dealing with reality and life, all I wanted to do was write. To lose myself in worlds I create, to detach myself from transition and death and ever-mounting bills. My head is filled constantly with thoughts, ideas, and dialogue; perhaps now I may be able to find/make time and have more focus to get back to what calms me, what I feel I do well, and makes me happy.
I have so many stories to finish (my masterlist is a huge pile of incompletes) and start, but these are the stories and AUs in the works:
BabylonâDolos: The Homeland AU dealing with international current events
BabylonâBelly of the Beast: The Homeland AU fictionalizing the 2024 election
 Watercoolers and Coffeepotsâthe DC AU gangâs take on the 2024 election within the workplace
Sex and the Middle-Aged Divorceeâwhatâs it like being a 54-year-old woman in the world of online dating
SingleâUnRomance is back with a follow-up to this storyline
Tuesdayâs Childâan OC-centric story about a family whose patriarch is dying (any similarities between my family (or yours) is purely coincidental
Hospital Lostâa medical drama AU drawn largely on St. Elsewhere, ER, and Greyâs Anatomy which will be a crossover cluster. Imagine Open Heart with focus on emergency room patients and a lot more staff
I feel itâs only fair to warn you that Iâve decided to give up creative writing for writing creatively; if my writing reads/feels differently, this is the reason why.
This is all I have for now, but hopefully I will be back soon. Since I have ZERO idea whoâs left, tagging the few I know are still active in the TRR/TRH/TRF sub-fandom. Feel free to let me know if you want on or off the taglist.

Ok so a while back i came up with these two r1999 ocs, who iâm just gonna call âfoxâ and âhoundâ respectively before I come up with proper names for them.
Iâm gonna braindump about Hound first since I have some ideas that I wanna get out before I forget plus i need to flesh out who they are as a character outside of their obsession with Fox.
âHoundâ (Name TBC)
Beast afflatus - reality damage
5/6 star(?)
Burst DPS, single target lockon combo
Any pronouns
UDIMO - American Foxhound
MedPocâs estranged relative?? /hj
Strengths: sticks to their word, strong-willed, idk im grasping at straws here
Weaknesses: short-tempered, violent, unpredictable
An Arcanistâs work. Exhibited in the 1970s for 24 years. Completed in Summer, on August 18. First exhibited in Maryland, USA, and then transferred to St. Pavlov Foundationâs external inspection unit.
They were one of SPDMâs worstly behaved children, with a violent distaste for authority that make Vertin and the Ring seem like angels in comparison. They spent more of their years in the Guardhouse than in the Foundationâs marble halls.
However, that all changed one day when a senior member redirected their aggression elsewhere. By the start of the 1970s, they were regarded as one of the Foundationâs most well-performing investigators, lauded (and both feared) for their ruthless diligence on the clock.
These qualities would soon become scorned once more, as they focused all their attention on capturing âFoxâ, an unregistered Arcanist infamous for her resistance against the Foundation, to the detriment of what positive relationships they had.
Their tenuous relationship with the Foundation would come undone as it became increasingly clear âHoundâ wasnât doing it to uphold the golden medal, but to gleefully stain it with blood.

Rules Old Rules! Please see Carrd!!
đ !! 18+ Only !! Mun is 33, and doesn't have any interest in interacting with minors. Sorry.
đ Basic rules of respect, okay? No one liners if the other writes a paragraph, no godmodding, no metagaming, etc. Don't reblog memes and stuff I post without interacting. You know the drill. Respect me, I'll respect you.
đThere will be NSFW, I will tag it with nsfh (not safe for heaven) but if you don't like that stuff- maybe follow with caution if you want to follow. I won't be hurt if you don't. We can still interact!
đI am not mutuals only! I'll probably follow if we start interacting unless there's something about your page I don't want on my dash (what I'm not sure but I guess it's a possibility?) Just feel free to message me!
đ Please feel free to message me. I am a ball of anxiety. I'm trying to reach out to people more but it's hard. So please feel free to hit me up first. I'll be so happy that you did!
đI am going to try to be playing canon characters, I cannot guarantee 100% canon accuracy as I am not vivzie. Please bear with me and enjoy my way of writing them for who they are.
đ I love ships. I will ship with probably anyone that I have chemistry with... so hit me up. Let's talk. ( Polyamory, LGBT, all fine by me. You know the shit that isn't, seriously. P*dophilia, Inc*st, etc are NOT.)
đ OC Friendly, obviously. Just like to say it!
đ I likely won't be exclusive but if we want to do a little verse for a group or whatever, I'm down for that!
đ Trigger Tagging. I donât personally have any that I know of and I will try to tag everything appropriately. If you need me to tag anything specifically let me know and Iâll do my best!
đ Dupes okay! I will happily RP with others who play the same muses I do. I enjoy other takes. I also tag all mine with muse; name for the muse. So for example the tag would look like. muse; lilith so you can follow comfortably and blog the tags if you don't wanna see my take on a charcter!
đOn the same note, if you want exclusivity- I'm honestly fine with making a sideblog or moving on to private RPs elsewhere if you use discord or some such but still want to interact with me.
đI am willing to set up a verse more exclusive to you though- and set up a verse specific tag.
đUncertain about crossovers, I'd prefer you come to hellaverse if that's okay!
đIf I follow you back I've probably checked your age and that's about it. I will read your rules if we interact though! If I follow first, I've probably at least skimmed them and will go over again should we interact.
đOn that note, I will try to follow rules but I follow/follow back a lot of people and don't always end up remembering who's rules are who's.
đI have a discord I'm willing to share if anyone wants to chat over it or plot!
đ I have the freedom to change these when I please.
#// If you want me to know you've read them#just like the post#I don't need that confirmation tho#archived blog set up

TransPanda OC Tournament Round 1:
The rules of the tournament
Brief introduction to "Thank You For Existing"
CHARACTER BIOS BELOW
Sue Mary (Shirley A. Gonna)
âI am nothing more than a shambling corpse, designed to demonize systems everywhere. It is obvious. I shouldnât exist, sister.â
Shirley A. Gonna was originally a main antagonist, who existed to blame a neurodivergent person for societyâs woes. Jilly Bean, sensing a scapegoat villain, changed Shirleyâs life forever with a second chance. Wishing to atone and help her new friend, she put her all in reforming villains like her. Until one proved they really were just a villain, and everything went black for her. Years later⌠She woke up. An inky slime, Sue Mary, had accidentally merged and resurrected her body. Feeling immense guilt for her failures in life, âSue Maryâ decides to heal her friend one last time before leaving for good. She is the final main character of TYFE: Death of the Author.
Primary Inspiration: Tsumugi Shirogane from Dangan Ronpa (Read that full name title again)
Plural or Plural Adjacent?: Plural
Art of Sue Mary by: Sunnyside_Cakes
Rana St. Fleur
âI can see right through you.â
Rana is Mayaâs somewhat uptight sibling, currently going through a career change. They were a doctor who took advantage of their special sight, but began looking elsewhere once their techniques were unreproducible in new doctors. Theyâre thinking of photography, to show the world how they see it. In the meantime, Rana is trying to get it through Mayaâs skull to accept the past, not destroy it. Rana misses their parents too, and that they never got to see Maya transition, but itâs no excuse to just stop talking about them altogether. Can Rana help Maya before a new threat makes their sister plunge deeper into maladaptive coping mechanisms?
Primary Inspiration: Peridot from Steven Universe
Plural or Plural Adjacent?: Neither

Happy STS! Whatâs a random piece of backstory about one of your OCs that youâve never shared, either in the story or elsewhere?
Thank you for the ask :D
Uh. You vastly underestimate the amount of time I spend hanging around in DMs. Unless I make something up on the spot, I don't think there's any piece I have never shared with anyone.
Now if we're talking public, that's still pretty hard. For the main chars, we've long reached "making up random shit for ask answers because everything is told" territory.
Pretty much every part of my WIP chars' backstories is heavy spoilers, so I'll go aaaaall the way back to Thorns and drag out a side char who has only appeared in like two chapters: Leon.
His pod was damaged in a storm before he was born, letting water in. No one noticed, so his body was partially submerged in water for weeks before he awoke, causing irreparable damage:
One side of his body is much weaker than the other, which is why he walks with a cane.
He can't grow leaves, or rather, if he does, they're too brittle to work as clothes, so he doesn't.
He is blind, fully in one eye, with severely limited vision in the other.
He's right handed in theory, but he taught himself to do most things with left, since the right side is his weak side.

Hello, love! Thanks for the ask!
Maybelle Clark from The Animatronic Saga almost died when she was a baby. She had a rare blood disease that was going to kill her within a few weeks. Tops. Thus, the decision to automize her was made.

Oooh thank you for the ask! Happy STS!
Good question!! Umm, however... I honestly have zero good answers here. I'm sorry in advance!
Let's talk about Allan Armstrong Dale because, with the exception of Geoff, the backstories of the TPOT characters have been explored and I stuffed them all into the story, lol.
(Geoff still won't tell me anything about his history, so...)
Allan isn't exactly from a rich background like Colette (or, early in her life, Bree), but his family was relatively secure in terms of finances when he was growing up.
He can sing and play piano!
He has living parents somewhere in the unnamed TPOT city, but I'm not sure if they're on good terms. I think it might be a "no"? Or maybe they're just not that close? Who knows.
Sorry it's kind of a ridonkulously boring answer!

Happy STS! Whatâs a random piece of backstory about one of your OCs that youâve never shared, either in the story or elsewhere?
Ahhh, thank you for the ask, Claire!
Let's go with Alaia, my FMC from Shattered Dreams. One of the main conflicts in the beginning of the story is how Alaia looks different than the rest of her family and to an extent, most humans in general.
I had to decide if she really was mixed race early on in worldbuilding, bc it was Really Relevant lol.
It's kind of a spoiler, but not really at the same time, bc its pretty obvious to everyone except Alaia that she isn't fully human pretty early in the story.
Bc this might be helpful, My world's races:
Fae - kinda like elves, tbh lol not the traditional no lying seelie/unseelie fae of our lore, although my fae are hidden behind the Veil Faeling - mixed human and fae Seraph - human-like with feathered wings, immortal Nephilim - mixed human and seraph Serafae - mixed fae and seraph Humans - typical humans
I've got some others too, but they aren't really relevant here, so I won't mention them. The fae, seraph, and humans are the only ones that can interbreed.
So anyways, these were my notes from way back when:
How does she have blood from all the races while living in the human lands? How does she pass off as human? Alaia was born in the human lands to two human parents. Her mother is a nephilim, but that heritage is not known to her. She is so far removed from her nephilim heritage that she essentially appears human and has a human lifespan. Her mother had an affair with a serafae. (insert: bc Alaia's dad is a POS) The serafae discovered the pregnancy before the affair ended, and glamoured the fetus to appear human in utero. The glamour stuck far better than anticipated, essentially becoming part of the fetusâ genetic makeup. Only by going through the Veil of Shadows was the glamour ripped free and Alaiaâs true nature revealed.
#sorry i guess thats a bit long#starlit asks#clairelsonao3#STS#some things that happen at the end of the book complicate this explanation a bit but i think it still works for the most part :)#writeblr#shattered dreams#ugh i really need a series name

Zombies have been one of my special interests since the summer before seventh grade. I have approximately 1million zombie OCs, most of whom are love interests or major supporting characters, and 1thousand zombie-based paracosms!
Here are some of my zombs :3 it's too close to bed to write much about them now, but a lot of them also have human forms/AUs and appear in St. Agatha City (my dating sim lol) =w= In order are Michael, Jonah, Axel, Copper, and Joey originally from Zombie Lane (which has a zombie main cast of nineteen total, and two humans), Kandi from City of Elsewhere, Adam and Claude from Empathy in the Apocalypse, and Dr. Archimedes Etcetera Marrow from Idle Town :3
Bonus is Connor, who considers himself a zombie, and has Cotards syndrome ^__^
#zombabe#<- if the moniker wasn't a hint#hide your zombies đ#there's a writeup to be had about the idea of caring for something that will never get better. do you understand me.#i will love you as you fall apart i will love you though and you will never be normal i will love you and you will always need help#uhh and not even in spite of this#<- things that would get me cancelled for fetishizing disability by those who irony is lost on#i am disabled but even if i werent SOMEONE's got to not be dating disabled people as a sacrifice but instead with some fucking zeal#let me grab your cane for you king#anyways zombies as some kind of allegory. so long and goodnight.

Happy STS! Whatâs a random piece of backstory about one of your OCs that youâve never shared, either in the story or elsewhere?
Ooh, this is an interesting one!
There are a few interesting things, though some of them are going to be shown in the story as parts of plot twists, so they don't count for the answer to this ask, lol! But I have plenty of other little pieces of backstory for some of my characters, that have never been shared but I find important for the overall understanding of who they currently are.
Here go a few:
Emryc Thorne's father was a magician, the kind that performs tricks and illusions and does not actually use real magic. Emryc was fascinated by those skills and wanted to grow up to be like him, but then the Blood Curse plague swept through their city, and his father died because of it. This forced Emryc to become a thief to survive, though he used the skills and tricks he'd learned from his father, something that not only made him successful in his heists but also kept him close to his memory.
Nadinne Ahmirah once had a sea monster as a pet, she named the little whale/shark monster Mister Truffles. When she was around six years old, her family's navy came across a wounded baby sea monster whose mom had died - presumably due to an attack by another sea monster - and she insisted she could keep it as a pet until it got big enough to go back to the sea. Now, more than ten years later, the enourmous whale/shark-like creature has long since been returned to the sea, but it likes to hang around a nearby bay and comes to visit Nadinne at the beach every afternoon.
When Lord Nethen Fahris was a small child, he was rather emotionally neglected by his family, who barely had time for him due to their duties and the fact that he was a bastard son (something that they kept hidden under lock and key, but which drove a wedge in his relationship with his "mom" who was unable to have children of her own). They eventually got a servant to care for him - a captive elf named Elain that was in his late teens. At first, Elain just cared for him because he didn't have much of a choice and because it was his duty, but eventually he grew to care for Nethen like his own family, something that the boy had never had before. (Elain raised him more than the boy's parents ever did, like actually taught him things, listened to him, watched over him, kept him out of trouble, played with him when the other noble kids didn't want to, supported him, made sure he was eating well, all the stuff a parent should do). They became friends, but a few years later, a mistake made by Nethen angered the Emperor and had terrible consequences. His father wanted to get in the Emperor's good graces again, and so he put the blame for the accident his son had caused (which shouldn't have been a problem, to begin with since he was a child) on the boy's tutor, Elain, who was executed. Nethen never forgave his family for this and swore he would never again allow himself to make a mistake.
Darian and Tanwin met for the first time while Darian, the human boy, was exploring the woods around his home kingdom of Ergyre looking for potion-making components. Tanwin decided to help him out and this was the start of their friendship.

Happy STS! Whatâs a random piece of backstory about one of your OCs that youâve never shared, either in the story or elsewhere?
Hi! Just looked up STS lol, apparently it's Storyteller Saturday?
So this was a tricky one because I tend to design the pieces of a given character's backstory with the intention of putting it into the story--essentially, I only invent the parts that have a lasting enough impact to make it onto the page.
However, there is a piece of backstory lore for Beck, one of the main characters in the mafia romance I'm working on, that I originally wanted to include, and then decided to take out before anyone saw it, so I think that counts. (this is just the broad strokes, not exact wording)
When he was very small, and still lived with his parents in their house in the suburbs, his dad pushed him out the back door, and he tumbled down the concrete steps onto the patio. He twisted his ankle, and when he cried to be let back in, all he heard was the lock click and the deadbolt slide shut. He didn't try to get back inside until he heard his little sister crying, and then he spent the next few hours banging on the door and trying to find a way in, before giving up and spending the night curled up against the bottom of the stairs, trying not to freeze in the chilly night.
It's a very sad scene, and I really enjoyed it when I first drafted it, but I realized that his backstory, and how it connects with his little sister, is actually going to be explored more in their dialogue, and a little less in flashbacks, since the other main character does a fair bit of flashback, so I eventually scrapped this part.
Thanks for the ask, @clairelsonao3!!

happy STS! Whatâs some random backstory about one of your OCs that youâve never shared, either in the story or elsewhere?
Happy STS!
Oooh, I'm dodging spoilers with this one. There are a lot of answers I could give that'll come up organically in the story, but here's one that I can safely talk about here that I don't believe I've shared before!
As sisters, Sophia and Harley have a pretty significant age gap (twenty-nine and nineteen respectively, as of the beginning of Agent Ace). They had very different life experiencesâSophia was much closer to their father before he unexpectedly passed, whereas Harley was too young to know him well when it happened and thus has a better relationship with their mother. But even though they've drifted apart as they've gotten older, they still share a unique bond. I imagine that they had somewhat of a Nani/Lilo dynamic in their childhoods, before Sophia left for Guard training, which never fails to make me smile!

Happy STS! Whatâs a piece of backstory about one of your OCs that youâve never revealed, either in the story or elsewhere?
Happy STS!
Hmm I think Iâll answer this for Ruby!
The Hollowar family legacy is hard to live up to, what with the entire city being named after them. Rubyâs mother became obsessed with living up to her great grandfatherâs reputation and she neglected her own family in the process. Rubyâs father noticed the disconnect and tried to make up for the lack of motherly attention by bringing her to work and letting her into his world.
Ruby learned blacksmithing at a young age thanks to him and itâs the one activity she truly enjoys when sheâs not fighting for her motherâs approval in the High Guard.

"I'll stay with you forever, my love." OC x Vessel ST
Alright before I get into this one I'd like to say that this is one of those times I mix, BG3 and Sleep Token. Technically. It's like if the species from BG3 were in the real world. In this story the events of BG3 have not ever, and will never happen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ah, another day another assassination with Kesariya, Skie, and Vaelen. Gods Persephone would much rather be home in her boyfriend's arms. But noo, someone had to hire Kesariya for a job, which forced everyone else to go with her. Of course, it's not like any of them are forced to be there, other than Persephone. Skie and Vaelen wanted to go. But Kesariya knew the two of them would get distracted and forget that there were three children they were meant to be watching. So she needed Persephone.
Persephone was only snapped out of her thoughts when she was poked by one of the three children. She paused in her walking and glanced down at the young kobold child Kesariya somehow managed to domesticate and adopt. She was about to speak and ask what he wanted before the child spoke first.
"Aunt Persephone, is it true that you'll live forever?" Adriaak, the child, asked with a gleam in his eyes. Clearly, he thought immortality was cool. After all, he's just a small child, he doesn't understand just how depressing immortality actually is.
Persephone sighed a little. Honestly, she'd really rather not think about the fact that she'll outlive everyone in this group. Aside from of course one of the children and Vaelen. But even then the child will be a constant reminder of the group.
"Yeah, yeah it is. It's pretty cool, isn't it?" Persephone tried not to let it show how much those words had affected her. Vaelen of course noticed and distracted Adriaak with something else so he didn't press more and make Persephone feel worse. She was thankful to have him around for this.
But of course, Persephone was thinking about it for the rest of the trip. And it was making her feel like shit knowing she's going to lose pretty much everyone she cares about. It hurts her so much. Thankfully, it wasn't going to be as long of a trip as it usually is, as the target is close to where they live. So they didn't have to travel for days on end.
Luckily, after having Skie and Vaelen take the children elsewhere, Persephone and Kesariya were able to kill the target without much trouble. And after that, they were all on their way home. Of course, the children ended up having to be carried, as they'd been doing this for hours, and the children were asleep now.
By the time she got close Persephone was rushing to the manor that housed Vessel, II, III, and IV. Not only because she wanted to be with Vessel again, but because she'd been gone all night. Left right after sundown, and is only now coming back. Shortly before the sun is about to rise. She'd rather not burn alive in the sun.
Once inside to manor, she spotted Vessel sitting on the couch. He'd either been up all night waiting for her or had just woken up shortly before. Persephone couldn't tell, since his face was covered with his mask. But either way, she was quick to get to his and curl up into his side, arms wrapped around him. And of course, without meaning to, she also started crying.
"Woah woah, Persephone.. Come on love what's the matter? Talk to me." Vessel had been about to get up and greet her before she came to him first and started crying. But gods he had his arms comfortingly wrapped around her in return, in an instant.
"I.. I'm going to outlive everyone, Vess. Everyone I care about, I'll lose." Persephone had managed to speak through her tears. Though she won't outlive quite everyone. She tends to forget something. When she too had come to be a worshipper of Sleep, she'd already been an immortal, due to her being a vampire. But Sleep grants immortality to all of its followers.
"That is only half true, darling. You won't outlive everyone like you think you will. You forget one important detail, simply because you were already immortal before this. I'm an immortal too, love. Me, II, III, and IV. We're all immortal right there along with you." Vessel reminded her in a soft tone, as he tightened his hold on her only slightly.
That made Persephone feel a little better. That Vessel and the others won't leave her any time soon. She'll still have people who care about her, through everything. But it still wasn't enough to make her fully calm down.
Vessel, noticing that she was still crying, continued speaking, hoping to calm her down. "I'll stay with you forever, my love." Vessel promised her. And gods, he would. Sometimes he thinks he loves this woman more than himself. And that's probably not wrong.
The two of them stayed like that for a while. Persephone leaned into Vessel's side while he spoke to her sweet words of reassurance. Eventually, she felt better emotionally. But of course, with her mind no longer on the thoughts of everyone dying, she realized she was hungry. She'd felt so upset that she'd not fed on the target's blood as she usually does. Now she can't go out and do anything, because the sun was out.
Vessel, of course, was smart enough to realize that she was hungry. He'd been with her long enough to read her very well. And that look on her face is the same one she always gets when she needs to feed on blood, but can't leave anymore.
"Love, you know very well that you can feed on me." Vessel reminded Persephone as he moved to sit them both up straight. Not only is he fine with being fed on, he encourages it. After all, he quite enjoys being bitten. He admits it freely. It should be obvious by now with all of the times he mentions biting in his songs. And so Persephone being a vampire has never been a problem, but rather a small perk.
Persephone of course was always reluctant to feed from Vessel. What if she accidentally takes too much? Sure he's immortal like her, and yet she's still worried. And yet she ends up caving every time. She has to eat after all.
"I know.. I know.." Persephone said with a sigh. She stared at him for a second, debating whether or not to do it. Before finally deciding to. "Alright.. come on Vess, you know the drill. If I start to take too much, stop me."
Vessel only laughed a little and nodded. Knowing he'd never have to do that. He tilted his head a little, so she'd have easy access to his neck. And with a little more hesitance, she got closer and bit down. Vessel was happy with this, of course. Even as she was draining blood from him. He was happy.
After a little bit of feeding, Persephone pulled away. She watched for a moment as blood continued to come out of the bite. She quickly put her hand over the bite wound, applying a little pressure to try and stop the bleeding. Once she was sure the bleeding had stopped she pulled her hand away. She looks at the dried blood now on Vessel's neck and her hand. And she licked the blood clean from both, enjoying one last taste of Vessel's blood. He did not stop this action.
"Alright, alright, you've fed now love. Now come here. You were gone all night. I need my Persephone cuddles for gods sake." Vessel said as he wrapped his arms around her once more. This time he lay her and himself down on the couch. He laid her head down on his chest and took her hair out of its braid, running his hand through her hair after doing so.
Silence fell over the two of them. Not even interrupted by II, III, and IV. As the three of them were all upstairs. Either asleep or doing something quietly. And after so long of the silence, Persephone and Vessel drifted off to sleep together on the couch.
