embers of the golden sun
circling the
lunar disc, as if they were timeless lovers,
intimacy of a devastating kind
perhaps the most powerful, and
spectacular sight in the world to behold.
earth is merely the audience for their burning performance.

Don’t Let Fear Hold You Back
Don’t let fear of the unknown hold you back from love. The chance to meet someone who truly sets your soul alight is a precious gift. Not everyone gets to experience that kind of connection, so when it finds you, cherish it. Some believe that the connections we forge in past lives influence our present. Perhaps those unfulfilled bonds lead us to new love in this life, offering a chance to rewrite a story that ended too soon.

The Road to Nowhere
Trigger warnings: Violence, Death. "May the Sun burn your tongue out, woman," Fredrick's father screamed the curse into his mother's ear as their elegant little carriage rumbled along, its polished wood and gilded trim glinting in the torchlight. They had just left the small village of Saffron and were on an unnamed road to the capital for the Royal wedding. Fredrick leaned back in his plush velvet seat to escape into the passing landscape, but across from him sat the servant boy, a scrappy lad named Jack. Jack's eyes held a mixture of awe and fear, the kind that only a commoner could feel in the presence of nobility. Jack looked up and caught Fredrick's gaze, offering him a sad little smile before reaching into his pocket and retrieving a little caramel treat. This candy was no doubt stolen from the kitchen treat cupboard; if he was caught with it, he would be locked in the box as punishment.
