Alanis/Moonshine, 2.5k, read here

The Crick is not quiet at night. Nobody has to rest more than four hours, and those four hours are spread out, no one choosing the same time to trance. There are always neighbors stopping by, exchanging food and stories, staying over, and, these days, helping mourn.

           There is an hour or two, though, long after midnight and long before the sun will begin to rise, that the Crick is quieter. People who want to pay visits have already been hospitably welcomed, and people who want to go home have not yet felt the urge to leave. Most stars are blocked by the trees, and so the full moon is the only light, glowing softly through the occasional cloud that drifts across it. It reflects off of one of the many tributaries of the Crick itself, a brook that runs deep into the woods and away from the main settlement. Moonshine has followed Alanis here.

           Alanis has been staying in her stump, which has been good, because Bev and Hardwon are planning to come to the Crick but they have their own loose ends to tie up, first. Even the noise of the Crick is too much silence for Moonshine, relative to one big bed. And Alanis needs a home. So, it works out.
