[image description: a digital drawing of characters from my d&d campaign, Ingot and Z’ress, as they embrace in front of a sunny curtain and Ingot kisses Z’ress on the forehead. Ingot (he/they) is a tall, thin tiefling with gray skin, large bat wings, horns that start at the temple and go straight back before curving upward, and straight, dark blue shoulder-length hair. Ingot is wearing a long-sleeve green tunic and gold earrings. Z’ress (he/they) is a shorter, thin drow with dark purple skin, white freckles, and white hair in thick cornrows gathered into a bun at the base of his neck. They’re shirtless, showing a scar across their neck and scars like the spokes of a wheel on their chest. Z’ress is smiling softly, gazing downward, as Ingot kisses him. Z’ress has a red string threaded through his braids, and Ingot has the same red string threaded through a small braid in front of his ear. The lighting reflecting off them is yellowy and warm. “Together, JD ‘22″ is written in the bottom corner. End ID.]

I sought loneliness when I was young. You've seen me there: on my promontory, patient and unaware.

But when I think of you, I want to be alone together. I want to strive against and for. I want to live in contact. I want to be a context for you, and you for me.

I love you, and I love you, and I want to find out what that means together.

[image description: a closeup, realistic digital painting of characters from my d&d game, Z’ress and Ingot. Z’ress (he/they) is a thin drow with dark purple skin and white hair in thick cornrows that are gathered into a low bun at the base of their neck. Ingot (he/they) is a thin tiefling with gray skin, horns that start at his temple and go straight back before curving up slightly, and long, straight, dark blue hair. Their faces are very close and they both have their eyes closed. Z’ress is cupping Ingot’s face with both hands. The background is bright white, and next to Ingot it says: “Perhaps then your god and I will be square.” End ID.]
