I like participating in these, but i either answer them right away or not for a week lol - thanks @snowkissedmonsters!

Rules: Post the last line(s) you wrote/edited.

For the next chapter of Nothing's Wrong with Dale:

"I suppose that reminds me, do you wish for me to call you by another name?”

“Hm?” He half turns towards you, but continues to look so clearly inhuman. Its fascinating what light and shadow can do to change a person.

You’re not scared of him, but you are somewhat intimidated by the gap in your experiences. How much you still don’t know of him as even this basic question demonstrates. “I only meant for when we’re alone, of course. But you must have a name besides ‘Dale’?” As soon as you clarify, you start to second guess yourself. What did you know of demons and their naming conventions. You’ve heard tell that names mean something to them. Or that they use them differently? But what was rumor and what was fact, you’ve no notion.

“Oh!” Dale turns fully away from the fire, looking startled, and you realize he’s returned to looking fairly human. His eyes must be the hardest to control. They still seem to have a glimmer of firelight in them. After he gets over his surprise, he appears to give it a brief second or two of thought before shaking his head. “No, I don’t mind Dale.” You breathe out a sigh of relief that you didn’t accidentally offend him. He continues, “We didn’t have names as such in the Depths, not permanent ones. Names, if you wish to call them, were to reflect who you were in a context. In this context, I am Dale of Northridge.”

a little bit of a late present, but as my last and final gift to the very sweet and kind@bibliophiliaxvignette, I drew the closing scene from the fanfic I wrote her!

Claire, I have had such a blast writing and drawing Gwyn and Azriel for you, and I hope the rest of your holidays are filled with plenty of rest and relaxation!

Lup and Merle's relationship makes me so emotional, perhaps even unexpectedly so, relative to the fact that their first and by far most memorable interaction is the one where she blasts him across a cave for 1d4 damage

i enjoyed how much confidence lucanis has in rook’s romantic advice to emmrich. i assume that’s not affected by him being romanced? his complete faith in them is very endearing especially if you play a rook who is any kind of romantically catastrophic. it’s nice to know lucanis still thinks you’ve got this in the bag. possibly just because he’s comparing to himself, but still!

So I've been listening to my two favorite songs from Hadestown, Wait For Me (Reprise) and Road to Hell (Reprise), on loop for a few days. And on my 400th listen something occurred to me.

Orpheus was writing his song to "make spring come again". He wanted to "fix what's wrong, take what's broken and make it whole." His entire purpose was to write "a song so beautiful it brings the whole world back into tune." (From Come Home with Me).

And he did. Using his love for Eurydice, he was able to finish his song, his masterpiece. But the cost of his dedication to his music meant his love went hungry and went to Hadestown for food and shelter.

He hoped his love and his music would be strong enough to save her, a task we know was ultimately futile but we still sing about it because maybe one day it will be different but also... He did make spring come again. He helped Hades be more secure in his love for Persephone so she could stay on Earth long enough for their to BE a spring. He did take a broken, strained marriage and help them communicate, make them whole. He did bring the whole world back into tune when he sang their song and another pair of distanced lovers began to dance after so long of arguing.

Everyone else got their happy ending but him and Eurydice.

He did not fail, he just not could not imagine that his song didn't have room for his own happiness. It's a reminder that for every triumph there is tragedy, every repaired relationship there is a breakup and that while it may be spring somewhere, somewhere else it is winter. I don't know, that idea of mixed blessing tragedies in the story intrigued me. Because someone's worst day may be someone's best. And that is why we must always sing these songs, to remember on the bright days and to get us through the darkness and to know, someday, spring will come again.
