The bonds are like places Bonds between the seven are laid out in different ways
Merle and Lucretia have a garden. There is a stream there is fruit there is food there is life. It is the knowing and the unknowing, it is the peace in the silence of the unknown. It is the heart of the storm and the eye of the needle. They live inside each other
Taako and Magnus have a town made of stone and wood with good bones and better scenery. they have houses there. It is the feeling of hope. It is what trust must become to fit something new. It is knowing what is but doing what isn’t. They live inside each other
Barry and Lup have a greenhouse and a loft to match it. It is snomething new it is something old. It is growth it is life it is trees with millions of rings it is the bulb of a tulip it is yesterday just as much as it is now. They live inside each other
Taako and Lup have a city. Its flashing lights, its dark alleys, its runways, its studio apartments, its laughing, its crying. There is the yelling and there is the quiet that follows it. It is fear and it is running and it is hiding but it is always full. They live inside each other
Davenport and Merle have a teahouse. It is stories and rest and naps and good smells. It is the very act of remembering. It is the hands on a clock. It is the love in the world, and the hate in it too. They live inside each other
These homes come crashing down. They fall and they crumble and the wilt and they stop and they keep going.
Lup and Barry will hold the glass up because they must. Lup will hold it for him. Barry will remember and the house will too, it will remember with him, breathe as he does. It won’t stop when he doesn’t. It just gets heavier. Lup will hold the roof up for as long as it takes
Taako and Lup’s city is alive with or without them. They are not there but they are simply away from home. You cannot leave that which is not a place. They are knowing without thinking. They are each other as much as they are themselves
Magnus and Taako crumple to the ground. There is no life but the ruins are a commonplace they both end up at one way or another. They will rebuild it without knowing it was theirs. They will rebuild it without knowing what is under the ash. They will rebuild it without asking why. Without wondering why its so easy to create where Taako has only ever destroyed
Merle and Lucretia’s flowers will bloom faster than they should with the wilt they had. Lucretia will not water them but Merle is awake. Merle is awake and he has to do something. Merle is awake and he cares without knowing why. He grows without meaning to.
Davenport is shattered. There is nothing to grow, there is nothing to build, there is no one to pick up the pieces. Davenport lives inside them and they live inside him. But there are no lights and they cut themselves on the rubble that isn’t there. They bleed on the carpet made for forgetting that which must be remembered

my experience when first coming out as asexual during my freshman year of high school was fresh after a breakup with this dude that i barely even really dated, it was like a short shitty middle school relationship and he pressured me into dating him but eventually when we broke up we stayed friends, and for some reason me coming out as ace just hit a nerve for him... he was absolutely convinced that i was lying and that i couldnt be asexual because i "definitely had been horny for him at some point.." ?? like he took my sexuality as a personal attack because it meant i wasnt sexually attracted to him... WE WERE 14... he literally went around to all our friends and acquaintances and asked them to affirm his opinion that i couldnt be ace and consistently used "horny" as an insult for me for months, OUT LOUD AND AT SCHOOL.
