Shaoshang may not be what everyone considers as an obedient and amicable lady, but in my eyes, within the capital, in the entire world, she is the best lady.

Sisterly advice

Wake the Dead fanfic

Pairing: Brynn Archer / Eva Archer (sisters)

@choicesfebruary2024 Prompt: Family

Summary: Eva and Brynn Archer enjoy a rare day off in the Tower.

Word count: 1,200

Rating: Teen

Today has been an almost perfect day, Eva Archer reflects.

She’d had the day off from pest control. Brynn and her crew were also on a rare break from scouting.

She and Brynn had woken up late, enjoyed a half decent meal for a change – scavengers had brought back apples from a nearby grove – and spent the afternoon playing cards with Cassidy, Dirk, Troy and Mack.

Even Troy had refrained from cheating, mostly. He’d slipped her a couple of aces under the table when her pile of chips had run dangerously low, grinning charmingly at Cassidy’s amused smirk, the others oblivious to the maneuver.

This was about as perfect a day as she could hope for within the confines of the Tower.

Her wandering thoughts sour at that.

The Tower.

Forever cooped inside a large, windowless, oppressive bunker. Surrounded by too many people, all busy eking out a living, oblivious to the world around them, living and working under the flickering of artificial neon lights.

Of course, there were bright spots in that otherwise bleak world.

Her Sister Brynn and her scouting crew, Cassidy, Dirk, Brianna. Their quirky friend Mack. And Troy, her best friend and partner in crime. They had become her adopted family. Made her existence in the Tower more bearable.

Eva dreams of being able to head out and see the world. Feel the grass between her toes again. Visit some old world relics she faintly remembered from her childhood and would avidly read about in Troy’s magazines - amusement parks, libraries, museums... She wants to swim in the sea. Feel the warm, salty breeze on her face.

Eva barely remembers life before the drones, before the Tower. She had been so young when people had started to change, when they’d lost their fathers and had been forced to flee. Brynn, still a child herself, taking on the parenting role.

“Hey! Earth to Eva! What are you daydreaming about?”

It’s the main reason she wants to become a scout so bad. To Brynn’s immense displeasure. Too dangerous, she’d growl, shutting down every attempt at a conversation.

Brynn pulls her out of her reverie with a light tug. Both sisters are sitting cross-legged on Brynn’s bottom bunk, the older sister’s hands nimbly working on braiding Eva’s fiery red hair.

“Nothing... I just.. I’m realizing, I’m starting to forget what the outside world looks like, feels like...” Eva murmurs, looking at her hands.

Brynn freezes, a pained look on her face.

“Eva...”

“And I know what you’re going to say, outside is dangerous, full of drones. And I know you’re right, I’m not trying to minimize the danger. But still, you get to actually leave this place for a while, breathe fresh air, feel the sun on your face... The last time I saw any of the outside world was when Troy ...”

Eva clamps her mouth shut, realizing she’d said too much.

“When you what? Eva, when the hell did you see the outside world with Troy?!” Brynn rounds on her, furious.

“It’s not like we left the tower or anything, Brynn! A... a few months ago, he took me to see the northern lights up on one of the top floors. We may have snuck back up a few times since... but only at night, with no one around to see us, I swear!”

“Are you kidding me, Eva?! Do you have any idea what’ll happen if Blackstock’s people find you sneaking into off limit areas? And after curfew at that?! God, I don’t know who's the worst influence between the two of you.”

Brynn stares at her, furious, then lets out an amused chuckle.

“You know, I thought the two of you were sneaking around making out or something. Was working myself up to the birds and bees talk. I definitely did not suspect late night stargazing. You’re such dorks!”

“Making out?! Birds and - what on earth gave you that ridiculous idea?” Eva splutters, face heating up.

“Oh come on, little sis, I’m not blind. I can see how you look at each other. And the not-so-subtle flirting.”

Wait, what does Brynn mean about Troy looking at me like… Eva’s mind spins as she thinks back to their daily interactions. His charming smile, his soft brown eyes sparkling with mischief and affection…

Nah, he’s just being friendly, as he’s always been. My best friend, nothing more, nothing less.

Could they ever be something more?

She shakes the thoughts away.

Brynn smirks, enjoying her sister’s discomfort a little too much.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Eva mumbles, “Troy's just a friend. Besides, he’s a huge flirt. And a goofball. And an ass more often than not. He’s really not my type.”

“Uh Huh. You keep telling yourself that.” Brynn smiles, amused.

“Okay, since we’re going there, what about you and Dirk? I see the way he looks at you. The guy worships the ground you walk on!” Eva turns towards her big sister, a mischievous sparkle in her eyes.

Brynn becomes serious, a little hesitant.

“Dirk and I... It’s complicated. I know he cares about me. And I do have… feelings. But when you’re out with someone risking your lives on a near daily basis, you need to fully trust them. Right now, we have a great dynamic going with him, Cassidy, Brianna. We have each other’s backs, but we also know none of us will hesitate to do the hard thing if one of us got bit. If Dirk and I became something more, I’m worried it’d cloud our judgement if things went south...”

Eva takes in the admission, brows knitted, then grabs her big sister in a crushing hug.

“Brynn, you deserve happiness. And love - even if it’s with someone as grumpy as Dirk.”

Brynn scoffs at that, but Eva continues.

“I swear, you’re always putting everyone’s needs and wellbeing ahead of yours. Even the damn job. You’re always looking out for me -”

“It’s my job, even though you don’t make it easy, you brat!”

“Well, if you weren’t such a stuck-up ass all the time ...”

“Watch it, lil sis...” Brynn growls, eyes narrowing in warning.

“Or what? You gonna -”

Eva squeals as Brynn lunges at her, jumping off the bed. She ducks as a pillow sails right above her head.

“I swear Eva, I don’t know how I even put up with you.” Brynn mutters, getting up to grab her boots.

“’It’s cause you loooove me!”

“You’re lucky we’re related or you’d be out on your ass. Now get a move on or we’ll miss evening rations.”

“Yeah yeah.” Eva smirks.

She suddenly turns serious, pensive.

“For what it’s worth, Brynn, I get your concern that letting someone in may… complicate an already good thing. But if you don’t, you can also miss out on the chance of something amazing.”

Brynn stops to ponder. Then smirks.

“Wait, actual words of wisdom from my little sis? I guess you did learn something in between all your suspensions. Any chance you’ll follow your own advice?”

“… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Riiiight.”

Eva rolls her eyes, wrapping an arm around Brynn to give her a hug.

Brynn reaches up and playfully rubs her knuckles on her sister’s head.

“Ouch! Brat!”

Both sisters giggle and tease each other as they head out into the labyrinth of neon-lit hallways.

Engraving of Three Nuns, London Illustrated News, 1891. (x)

Fraternal communion is a reflection of God's own way of being and bestowing Himself; it testifies to the fact that "God is Love" (1 Jn 4:8, 16). The consecrated life professes to believe in, and live by, the love of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The community of brothers and sisters thus becomes a graced reflection of the God who is a Trinity of Love. Unlike the life of hermits, who live in silence and solitude, and are likewise esteemed by the Church, the monastic life entails a growing community life meant to create an authentic fraternal communion, a koinonia. This means that all the members must see themselves as builders of community and not simply recipients of its eventual benefits. A community exists inasmuch as it comes about and is built up by the contribution of all, each according to his or her gifts, through the development of a strong spirituality of communion whereby all experience a sense of belonging. Only in this way can life in community provide its members with the mutual assistance needed to live their vocation to the full. You who have embraced the monastic life must never forget that today's men and women expect you to bear witness to an authentic fraternal communion that, in a society marked by divisions and inequality, clearly demonstrates that life in common is both possible and fulfilling (cf. Ps 133:1), despite differences of age, education, and even culture. Your communities ought to be credible signs that these differences, far from being an obstacle to fraternal life, actually enrich it. Remember that unity and communion are not the same as uniformity, and are nourished by dialogue, sharing, mutual assistance, and profound compassion, especially towards the most frail and needy.

Pope Francis (Vultum Dei quaerere, §25-26). Bolded emphases added.

Yet Christian love is not abstract but lived in the concrete manner of love for one another.

from the NABRE commentary for 1 John 4:13-21

“Why do you have to marry me?”

“Because I hate you. All the way here, you rack your brain to kill my right-hand men. You almost made it. I want to use the means you hate the most to get back at you. To torture you.”

Storge, parental love

There is no bond like a parent and child

We would both walk an extra mile

To be sweet when the world is vile 

There is no love like a parent and a child

{♚}—; Isaak smiled at the friendly greeting from the hatchling as he quickly grabbed onto his hand to hug it. It was always nice to have Cosmos visiting and lately he was accompanied plenty of times by Henry. Once his attention diverted away towards the flock of Cowleks he decided to stand by and watch as he held the gate open for his two guests to enter. As Cosmos stepped inside and Isaak closed the gate for them, he watched as the cowleks looked in the direction of the two dragons that entered their enclosure, as Henry pointed out their big eyes. 

“Yes, that’s right Henry their eyes are pretty big but they are fairly docile and friendly as well.” He scratched his head gently and made sure he was secure as he got closer, intending to help him if he was interested in petting them. The Cowleks started to wander around, approaching Cosmos as he kneeled down closer to their level and to let Henry get closer as well while in the pouch. Some looked up and focused on Henry, and some focused on Cosmos looking up at them and reaching closer to them with their trunks out of curiosity. One of them even decided to settle and right next to Cosmos or rather against him while he was within some of their reach seeming to realize the two of them were friendly.

There was an instinctual need for the cowleks to look up from whatever they were doing and notice the intruders upon their entry, though they would remain calm, having been trained to trust dragons.

Evidently they were feeling social; most immediately chose to crowd around Cosmos (more accurately, fast by sluggish livestock standards) even before he knelt down.

The petting zoo experience had officially started - Henry was up close and personal with the cowleks now, not quite at their eye level from where he’d been in the pouch, but still positioned in a good spot for getting greeted with a faceful of nostrils.

Now it was his turn to have big eyes - whenever he wasn’t squinting from the feeling of breath against his face - astounded by how dexterous they were with their trunks.

Henry could only stare at the cowleks at first, unsure if they were trying to touch or smell him and Cosmos. The baby dragon wasn’t afraid in the slightest, simply at a loss with how he was meant to respond to such an unorthodox gesture.

He would make up his mind after letting out a huff of air he’d failed to notice he’d been withholding - it was time to bite the bullet.

Slowly and carefully as to not spook them, Henry extended his hand towards one of the trunks...only to discover that the cowlek was just as interested in petting his appendage, softly tapping and feeling around his arm and claws before lowering their elongated nose and allowing the befuddled tot to stroke it.
