The anemone, one day,
grown sober on filtered sunlight
looked at the clownfish swimming
fin-giddy in its tentacles
“How long have you
…been here?”
The clownfish blorped surprise
at the question
(but you shouldn’t read too much into that
blorping was one of its favourite activities)
“Oh it’s been years.
and years and years. I think.”
The tangled nest of pseudopods
That was the anemone
wriggled at this news,
vexed and toxin-pretty
“I eat fish that get close.
Usually.
I’m a death-wish in seafoam
Fluorescent.”
The fish swam a lazy circle
Its body a shrug waved horizontal
It didn’t take its eyes off
The anemone as it replied
(but again: read not too much
Its eyes were seldom long off its host)
“I know
Your cells are harpoons
Your body a net.
A cavern mouth surrounded.
You are the end of me.
Where else
Would I go?”
(I should sting it,
Thought the anemone
but something in the fish
Felt sweet
In a way it didn’t
Want to devour.)
“Besides, the snacks are good”
The fish continued
globbing up a corpsescrap
“and you kill
all those who come hunting”
The anemone sat silent in its lair
which was its body
It tasted the decay, wine-sweet
In the water.
Its skin was swelched in fine algae
draped in the little life, growing
Things had been good
For years.
And years and years.
Quietly.

A gift for @naffeclipse!
If the notification reached you more than once, I can only say in my defense that I made some mistakes.
I really want to kiss the big Eclipse fish right now, so getting it over with is the next best thing.
(Tumblr stop downgrading the quality of the pictures)
(Click on the image for better quality)
There is nothing better than swimming with your lifelong friend knowing that the waters are safe and no one will disturb you now.
I really loved In Deep dreams Between the Waves, I just felt the connection with eclipse with the words, and I would like to fish on a shore.
I made these doodles in the course of drawing because I'm unable to concentrate on one thing.
And an alternate version of the first image below the cut.

What would Tord do for Tom’s birthday? This goes for both aus
For Regimen he'd probably try to do something REALLY grandiose, try to give him a country maybe?? Let him hunt christmas enthusiasts for sport?? Either way, Tom will fight him and refuse anything he gives him, you know, unless..[SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER ASK INTERRUPTED]
In Stay, when they were younger (and dating) Tord would let Tom bring him to concerts he likes or go bar hopping with him as his drink spotter (lmao) and basically just go wild in the city.
When they're older though, they more or less start winding down. I like to think that by the time they're in their 40s, they'd rather just spend calming quality time together on their birthdays. Tord would bring Tom out on dates (in disguise), let him just wander wherever he'd like since they mostly spend time at base or at home, so they don't get to sightsee much. Near the end of the day, Tord has the tradition of bringing them out to sea (private yacht baby!!!), to where the sky is clear and full of stars, and maybe far from shore but close enough that they can still see the city lights blinking in the distance.
Its nice to leave all their problems behind on land, and Tord loves just watching Tom relax and stargaze, it fills him with so much warmth, and a twinge of regret that he couldn't really give the love of his life a more peaceful life like this. Still, he'd pull Tom close every time, tell him he loves him, listen to him laugh and call him a sap, because he wouldn't trade this life away for anything, as long as Tom was here, and happy, he'll fight to keep what they have no matter the cost.
