#the Fiancés originally had a bunch of mismatched mugs

Change

Here we go! It’s done! Much earlier than expected because I got my Apple Pencil replacement literally with a day instead of the week I was told it would take. So that’s cool.

Anyway, blurb under the cut because I’m posting this on the desktop site instead of mobile.

The name of this blurb in my notes is “Hot Iced Tea.”

It all started on a sunny autumn day.

A star fell from the sky and crash landed in the middle of a forest. No one saw it happen, and no one heard. No one knew that a star fell from the sky then stood up and wiped the dust and dirt off his shimmering ethereal form.

It all started when a lost star was discovered by a warrior of fire and ash.

On a beautiful autumn day, they fell in love.

That was the start.

Winter was the end of many things. A lot changed when winter came, and it didn’t stop changing as when winter continued. There was death and there was tragedy, and there was a lot to lose and suddenly nothing left to lose.

But through it all, at least they had each other. As factions splintered and relationships broke, Sapnap still had his fiancés. One day, they’d get married. Maybe it wouldn’t be the grand festival they planned before Doomsday, but no matter what, they still had each other. Even as the world crashed down around them, they still had each other.

It was the beginnings of spring when Sapnap noticed that Quackity’s work trip was going on for much longer than normal. Karl had even gone on two of his trips in that time, and he was getting ready to leave for a third. Sapnap asked Karl to look for their lost fiancé on his last journey, but when Karl returned, he pointedly avoided the topic. In all honesty, Karl avoided every topic  

The only thing preventing Sapnap from looking for Quackity on his own was that he had absolutely no idea where Q was. All he knew was that Quackity was far enough away that their comms weren’t connecting. By the time all spring flowers were in full bloom, Sapnap was too occupied in Kinoko to leave. All he had hope for was that Karl would come across Quackity somewhere or that George’s (increasingly infrequent) trips to the mainland would hear news from El Rapids.

Then summer came.

George was always asleep. Karl was gone more often than not. Quackity was still nowhere to be found.

Sapnap was given total control over an entire kingdom that was never meant to be his to run. He was its guardian, the head of militia, but he was never supposed to be in a position of power. He never wanted to.

So he sat alone as boiling heat waves ripped through Kinoko Kingdom. His naturally high body temperature meant he was used to his friends and family standing away from him during summer time, but this was a whole new form of isolation. It was far far too quiet.

And so summer went.

And autumn starts again.

This time, a love dies.
