hiatus

because adam practiced at many things, adam was good at many things, but this – what was it even called? scrying, sensing, magic, magic, magic. he was not only good at it, but he longed for it, wanted it, loved it in a way that nearly overwhelmed him with gratitude. he had not known that he could love, not really. gansey and he had fought about it, once – gansey had said, with disgust, stop saying privilege. love isn’t privilege. but gansey had always had love, had always been capable of love. now that adam had discovered this feeling in himself, he was more certain than ever that he was right. need was adam’s baseline, his resting pulse. love was a privilege. adam was privileged; he did not want to give it up. he wanted to remember again and again how it felt.

“more than anything, the journal wanted. it wanted more than it could hold, more than words could describe, more than diagrams could illustrate. longing burst from the pages, in every frantic line and every hectic sketch and every dark-printed definition. there was something pained and melancholy about it.”

as the west throws its arms up in unending party, as the rest of the middle kingdom remains splintered among aging warlords and the remnants of imperial rule, shanghai sits in its own little bubble of power: the paris of the east, the new york of the west.

this was her life. this was her city, these were her people, and because she loved them, she had sworn to herself a long time ago that she would do a damn good job of being who she was because she could be no one else. 

They speak of Roma Montagov and Juliette Cai as the ones who dared to dream. And for that, in a city consumed by nightmares, they were cut down without mercy.

jane’s leaning against a pole, leather jacket shrugged down to her elbows and backpack slouching off one shoulder, headphones on, black hair falling in her eyes as she nods to the beat. and it’s just…hope. 

like - okay, I dated this girl who was an artist, right? and she’d do figure drawing where she’d draw the negative space around a person first, and then fill in the person. and that’s how I’m trying to look at it. maybe I don’t know what fills it in yet, but I can look at the space around where I sit in the world, what creates that shape, and I can care about what it’s made of, if it’s good, if it hurts anyone, it makes people happy, if it makes me happy. and that can be enough for now.
