Today’s shard memory is the one with all the elders. Fly up a bit more after collecting the winged light on top of the giant shard and see the odd stone “Christmas tree topper” style star. I find it odd because it’s not noticeable unless you look or fly straight up. It’s mostly hidden in darkness until you get up there to look.

of all the senses, our sense of smell is the most strongly associated with memory. just catching a perfume in the air or taking in the scent of laundry can be a powerful experience. you may even see visions. but - what if a smell could take you back to another life?

ouugougoghghhg i cant stop thinking about how like . sonic is clearly getting attached to some of these shatterverse variants of his friends. because theyre his friends. but theyre also technically different people and im assuming that in order to bring back his original friends the new versions are gonna have to disappear? how is sonic gonna deal with that. i especially cant stop thinking about this in relation to nine... because nine is basically tails if he had never met sonic. he has no friends and was bullied for all his life and that clearly affected him a lot. and then he finally gets to meet sonic but eventually sonic is gonna choose getting his old friends back over him. im bad at wording my thoughts hopefully you understand

Currently working on editing all published chapters. Got a little help so that's made things a bit easier. Though instead of sending over my files we're combing through the documents paragraphs by paragraphs.... and I have to end up doing over the coding. So I am still around, editing, working on that update. I'll have a post sent out later on this week with the expected timeframe the new chapter will be released. I am really hoping to be a bit more consistent with TS updates. Your patience is greatly appreciated. 😭
Anyways daily dose!

Death of a mercenary
━ author unknown
Quick enough - not I
Nor bold enough nor agile
Tangled up in wires
Like a nest of vipers vile
Was it I who fell? Or was it done to me?
Dissolving, disappearing, with you I wished to be
Now tethered, clamoring, the restless swarm
Beating in my ears a pale rage - No!
Into the earth I seep, my life the sweet
Thorn sticks in my throat
A chill burns brighter - On
To the end? What a thought
A huddled husk I tumble for the dawn
The old certainty of youth is felled
And from its gnarled trunk
Memories fall forth
Hours of ours sharp and pressing race
Embittered in a powerlocked embrace
With you I wished to be and so I go!
Down a road without end through woods half-dreamt
And the chill-bleached delirium of desire
Flies into trepid trembling sand
Through the fog of your shadow sharpening
The storm tangles in me once again
To sway with you like sweet grasses dry
Still the glassy dust will naught but rise

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love❤
It was difficult to choose just five (in any of my works I can find something that I like), but here they are:
Children of tyrants - RoChu, Mature, historical hetalia, very modern timeline (late 2010s). This is something I'm most prouf of, considering the extent of research I did (had to become versed in chinese history almost from scratch...). There's a lot of RoChu works in Russian and English, but they rarely are something aside from just fluff and romance and they tend to avoid tackling controversial topics regarding Russia and China's relations in the past and present. So I decided to fix this situation.
Unexpressed - Amerus oneshot, explicit, 90s era, very triumphant Alfred and very confused Ivan. Wrote the entire fic for the last paragraph. It came out very accidental, I didn't do a huge research, was just writing a commission, and boom, this 4 pages sized piece became one of my favourite fics of all time. It seems like it's readers' favourite too.
Shards of Memories - my magnum opus; Rusame, Cold War setting with a retrospective of their relations since the XVIII century. Ivan and Alfred understand they've experienced a memory loss and decide to run away to unravel this mystery with KGB and CIA on their tail. Stopped writing this because of war, hope to get back to it soon, maybe in the end of this year <3
Ashes and Flame - historical Rusame, featuring the aftermath of 9/11 attack. Love this for the same reasons I love "Children of tyrants": had to do tons of research, learned a lot of new info, also writing about relatively modern events (especially revolving around Russia and USA) is always more exciting than about some old uncontroversial stuff.
The tale of the Feud and Loyalty - RusFin, mature, featuring Russia and Finland's relations from 15th to the beginning of 19th century (WIP). Arcticviolet's "Maiden and the Two-headed Eagle" introduced me to RusFin, AND I'M OBSESSED WITH IT SINCE THEN (recommend the work very much, go read it right now). Seriously, this ship is insanely historically-grounded, much more than lots of other popular ships, it's tragic and complex, it deserves more attention! Not to mention, Finnish history deserves more recognition. So here's my small contribution to RusFin fandom, complementary to arcticviolet's work.

where i'm from, everything glows neon. the sky is a violent and churning green and it's always raining. the skyscrapers are black and spindly. the smiles of passing faces smile just a little too wide and a little too long. the dogs speak. the angels whisper prayers through the thread sewing their mouths shut. here, all the drinks taste like pure sugar. dirty feathers litter the sidewalks. and - no one even thinks twice when they look at me. they should. they should know better. but they don't.
