#scheherazade
-Richard Siken // 4.20
Tell me about the dream where we pull the bodies out of the lake
and dress them in warm clothes again.
How it was late, and no one could sleep, the horses running
until they forget that they are horses.
It’s not like a tree where the roots have to end somewhere,
it’s more like a song on a policeman’s radio,
how we rolled up the carpet so we could dance, and the days
were bright red, and every time we kissed there was another apple
to slice into pieces.
Look at the light through the windowpane. That means it’s noon, that means
we’re inconsolable.
Tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us.
These, our bodies, possessed by light.
Tell me we’ll never get used to it.- Scheherazade, Richard Siken
Simultaneous Bond 10s
I’m mentally stuck between being excited that this happened and finding a way to explain to explain it narratively.
Regardless, they both deserve only the best and I will never stop rooting for either of them
Bonus: The CEs themselves will be put under a spoiler just in case.
Spoilers ahead for the Ooku Event and some of the hecking best development for the Caster Wife.
