Just as Law had once bared his horns for him, proving his heritage once and for all, he was now doing the same for Dragon.
Dragon, while a stranger, was of the same family line. He understood the need to hide. He understood that not everyone was safe to be around, as a D. And he understood what Law wanted, when he hopped off the man’s shoulder to stare at him eye to eye. Perched atop a high counter to make up for their differences. His claws were probably punching holes in the soft fabric of his hat, with how hard he gripped it. His knuckles certainly matched the pristine white.
It was an icy standstill for long minutes, sharp eyes and sharper men, wills at war.
Just because you don't have a "thing" to show for all your hard work, does not mean you weren't working very hard. Plenty of things like clarity, knowledge, or balance, are not tangible, but very worthwhile
I hope everyone enjoys this little Crow Time update about the commonality of love! Even stars have travel buddies, that's what constellations are for.
If you like my work, do me a favor and donate a little to the PCRF to help children and families in Gaza. It's easy to do, kind to do, and do not feel guilty if you do not have much to give. Everything counts.
Don't just learn queer history; let it be a transformational force. Give it as a gift to the people in your life. Tend to it as you would a garden, share it when you can, fertalize it, water it. Gather strength from it. It's not a finite resource; it is constantly growing, and there is always more you can gain from it.
Pushing forward the garden metaphor (because that soil is so rich) let yourself enjoy the biodiversity. Don't allow your knowledge to become a pristine, perfectly cut lawn; bring in native wildflowers and watch them bloom. You won't regret it.
