    but the balcony door is open and it brings with it a breeze that ruffles at their hair, that makes jayce look at him with warm, gentle eyes.

    captivating. more than a little haunting. i'm obsessed with the bits and pieces of esama's homebrew obscurial lore.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    i started reading this around when moonglass was being published, and had the incredible privilege to follow it over the course of a little more than a year as aenor_llelo et al. burned through the telling with truly an incredible dedication and wordcount.

    i deeply respect the decision to set it aside for the time being for good, now, all things considered, and while orphan's path will live forever incomplete it stands as it is a monument to love in every form and fashion: for life, for family born and made, for the man standing next to you- and for the story. always, always, for the story.

    Summary

    The power fluctuated, lights going out. Phil was lying on the floor, staring at the ceiling, but his eyes might as well have been closed. The darkness was so complete it was like it clasped its fingers in his, breathed through his throat-- and then, slowly, he became aware of a shift on the other side of the glass. Faint, distant movement. A soft pulse of light, pinkish-red mingled with off-white, gentle bioluminescent flickers in the engulfing blackness. Fear twisted so far around that it turned to wonder.

    He thought the lights were multiple creatures close together, at first. Then the emergency lights hummed back on, and the lights on the other side suddenly resolved into a being, a huge one with a long snaking tail and brightness down its side and shoulders and flowing hair and was that a goddamn fucking mer--

    The mer reeled back and disappeared into the gloom. Phil stared after it and said blankly, forgetting it was only a plush crow listening: "What the actual fuck."
