because nothing ever ends

Peace and love from a fellow sapphic who loves your work!! 💕💕

this is so sweet oh my god hi <3

“feel quietly,” i have whispered to

the face in the mirror, pretending like

my voice isn’t full of shattered glass

and promises meant to be broken.

feel quietly.

love silently.

suffer wordlessly.

and i have, for far too long, forgetting

what it’s like to raise my voice and

hear my echo reverberating around an

empty room. quiet, silent, wordless; all

for the sake of wearing a mask that

hasn’t quite fit all my life. all for those

sacred few who i saw through stained

glass and thought foolishly, hopelessly,

that someday they would let me scream.

(they did not.)

and my lips have been sewn and my

throat has been cut and my tongue has

been ripped out and i have been choking

on blood and bile and bitterness but—

that has changed.

everything has changed,

and it starts with you.

“feel loudly,” i have started telling the

face in the mirror, and the smile

she wears is one i can hardly recognize.

feel loudly.

love boldly.

(i will not suffer fools anymore,

least of all myself.)

i am a storm with you.

i am thunder crackling. i am a wolf

howling at the moon. i am the shriek of an

ancient and wild thing that echoes in the

shadows of the night. i am the laughter you

hear as your eyes flutter shut and your mind fills

with sweet nothings. i am the sigh in which you

linger as you watch the first rays of dawn

grace your bedsheets, warm and wanting.

i am a cacophony, unapologetic

and unforgiving, sharp fangs and

daredevil eyes—let me sing, let me scream,

let my words rip from my throat and

suffocate you in their zealousy

like a frantic prayer.

feel loudly. love boldly. scream and laugh

and weep and sigh and let yourself be

heard. for you have unburied my voice

from its hollow grave. you have sprinkled

the ashes of a life worth living in the coffin

and carved a better name upon my tomb.

you are the sun whose light beckons,

not blinds, and for you i will sing

Rowan's life truly begins when it unexpectantly ends. Thrust into a strange new world full of monsters and magic and granted the power to summon the darkest of shadows with but a whisper, she somehow falls into the graces of one wizard of Waterdeep. Rowan accepts his offer of mentorship in the ways of the arcane and begins the journey of finding her place in this world. Through heartbreak and hardship, laughter and love, she and Gale Dekarios will form a bond brighter than all the stars in the sky...regardless of what the goddess who once called him her Chosen has to say.
