Summary
Young prince Zenos only ever dreamed of one thing.
Fire rained from the sky. The earth buckled, uprooting the foundations of buildings, cities, and mountains alike. He roamed burning streets, searching desperately for someone.
He never found them. Whoever it was.Bookmarked by CanemMorningstar

Summary
After the events in Ultima Thule, Brunnera decides it's time to shed the title of Warrior of Light, hang up the mantle of scholar, and move to a remote corner of La Noscea to reclaim her life.
It would have been much easier, if the ghost of a former Friend did not keep haunting her every night.
She had not wanted to leave Zenos behind and with the last ounce of her strength, she tried to crawl to him before crumbling.
If she had lived, then surely, he would have too.
She needed to go back and find out, but there were no more resources left to make the journey to the edge of the universe.
Until one night, it – or he – arrived.
The gentle swishing of leaves she could hear even in her dreams ushered in the towering, dark silhouette standing watch at the foot of her bed.
She knew deep down who it was, and she did not fear him.
As if aware of her desires, the shadow gradually got closer to her bed as the nights went on, conscious that she lacked the strength to speak.

Summary
This work began as an answer to the questions: what would actually prompt a Viera to leave their woods behind and venture into the wider world? Especially if they truly believe in the Green Word and everything it stands for? What is it like, to be a Viera? What is it like, to be blessed and cursed with power, chosen by Hydaelyn, forced to leave your home behind?
Join me on this deep dive into Viera lore and culture as I imagine it, and the twists and turns it takes the author on. The journey starts with Aruna, a kit just at the cusp of presenting and discovering their gender, and many stories are told to me by them and those around them. Stories of the past, stories of the present, stories of the people.
Hearken, Viera, to Word of the Green
From Mountains to Jungles and all in between
By grace of the Woods we are living today

Summary
Estinien has spent years struggling to find the key to being 'normal', continually failing to understand why everyone else places such emphasis on sex. His lack of desire for full intimacy doesn't mean he has no wish for touch or affection, but his inability to go farther has already cost him one relationship with a man he loved with all his heart. He has no reason to believe a second attempt will end any differently, but he doesn't want to spend his life alone.
G'raha certainly can't empathize with Estinien's plight, but he does understand what it's like to be alone and untouched for far too long. If they can offer each other a solution for their mutual touch-starvation, he sees no reason not to indulge themselves. It doesn't take much of soaking in Estinien's affection before he has to admit that this is no longer a merely friendly exchange. He's willing to make sacrifices and compromises, if it means they can be together.
The biggest obstacle they face might not be Estinien's refusal to engage in sex, but rather his refusal to believe in the possibility that they can last.
