#timecacao

there’s a 500k slowburn in my brain of the progress of timekeeper meeting cacao and the two’s slow descent into a really weird but stable relationship anchored by timekeepers unspoken anxiety about the world becoming too boring to live (and yet do they really want to die?) coupled with cacaos gradual understanding of his own flaws and sins, his discipline being a framework for the both of them to find a reason to live again, that reason being the understanding of love and life as eccentric immortals together in a citadel of black stone. But im too tired to write it

timecacao is rivals to lovers except by “rivals” I mean that timekeeper annoys the shit out of him at first
