#the maiden of the barren rime

[sweetarethediscords]

It’s Slow Burn. It’s tedious trust turning into certain loyalty.

It’s deals made in desperation becoming unbreakable bonds.

It’s noticing, focusing, the subtle shift of light in their eyes, the shifting wrinkles that show in different smiles.

It’s bearing the sting to taste fleeting sweetness.

It’s careful words and cautious actions despite the ticking clock.

It’s holding back a hand to save their suffering.

It’s watching as the pain works its way through their bones.

It’s knowing that the smile you wish to give them, the kind words, would only lead to anguish.

It’s finding other ways to love them.

It’s endlessly searching for ways to relieve their agony and give them the adoration they deserve.

May it take days, or months, or decades. You’ll keep your devotion in a bottomless jar hoping someday they will drink from it, greedily, happily, sore throat eased from your efforts.

Thank you so much for reblogging my post about The Maiden of the Barren Rime! I greatly appreciate it!

Not sure if you checked the Kickstarter out in detail but here's a link to the first chapter in case you haven't seen it.

This book is near and dear to my heart so seeing people engage with and share it has been very validating. So once again, thank you so so much.

You’re welcome. The premise seemed very interesting and honestly, after reading the first chapter, I’d love to read the rest of it. Best of luck on the Kickstarter!

to be totally honest i don’t remember every post i like so it was a pleasant surprise to get to read this! it’s a very interesting setup, i feel like i can sense a lot of threads that pick up later on in the story just from this first chapter. like why does mina have a few “weeks left to die”? very excited to see where things go from here

Queen, I checked out the first chapter and I would like to say, wow. Your writing is impeccable; a perfect balance of descriptors/world building, character dialog, and main character thoughts. That fight scene? Needed for my soul. I am absolutely backing this project as I *need* to read more

Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing :)

You're very welcome. I absolutely fell in love with the writing style. You're very talented, I hope you do well with your book

It’s Hurt/Comfort. It’s listening beyond hearing. Seeing beyond sight.

It’s finding ways to treat the wound, be it salve or bandage, kisses or quiet.

Salt to cleanse a festering sore.

Honey poured down a throat cried raw.

It's...

It’s limbs entangled in the dark of night, fingers knotted in hair, breath and heartbeats slowing into a steady rhythm, a reminder that you’re both still here, both alive, together.

It’s gentle lips pressed against old, deep scars. Silent prayers of gratitude whispered into the gnarled flesh.

It’s the years past the pain, when you’re both old and happy, but the nightmares still come. Far and few in-between nowadays but just as feverish and frightening as they were back when their cause was fresh. The hand that rests on your shoulder gently. The reverent, patient whisper of your name becoming a lighthouse beacon. Waking you, saving you. Thumb brushing the tears off your cheeks as tender as if it were the first time.
