Kindly,

young nova seems to have stumbled across a very specific willow tree grove

The first fanfic is now on AO3 - https://archiveofourown.org/works/32616004

(copy the link, it's unclickable for the time being)

It's the same as here, except the formatting, and a small addition, needed to connect the story together, and to it all to make sense.

ghibli redraw but it’s cassia and grace

structuring observations: words to wrap around the dips and digressions, syllables of the body shape, sibilance of ghosted breaths. tunnels as from worms, descend. deepen. press your hands in. (breathe in, breathe out. knead. need. cycle-push. meditate.) devolve. grip, grasp, clumsy-dissect, clumsy-cut. pull. snip. lay it out on a cork-board, still oscillating, still fluid-full. nailed down. trapped. let it haunt: that's the only effective manner of memory. consider the following: the ghost of a heartbeat, softening flesh, splinter-bone: hard, now soft, now hard again, evolution of the landscape...... beneath the hands that press, body, swollen as cork, body, warping, body, haunting. how do you say metamorphosis? how does this reinforce it? how do you say irreversible change? can you connect the visions? how do you say this is the end? do you know how there's no coming back from this? how do you say death? the damage is done. important terms to remember: eyeball. knife. tooth. maggot. livor mortis. putrescine. adipocere. putrefaction. key concepts: [ ], [ ], [ ], and, most importantly, [ ]. this is vital. take care not to forget it. below: there is space for you to complete this excercise and take notes. be sure to follow the instructions. you can't afford a botched attempt.
