I was looking at the Fandom Secrets and Roleplay Secrets communities a while ago and– wow, there are a lot of insecure people on LJ, aren’t there? So many lonely people, too. It would be very funny if it weren’t somewhat sad.
I’m not really a fan in the “member of FANDOM IN ALL ITS GLORY” […]

It has taken us five years, beloved, to reach this one oasis past the desert of our parting: five years of waiting and walking and looking up at a brilliant sun and walking on again. Five years of numb fingers, parched throats, voiceless mouths. I used to forget to speak, afraid of whatever sea had […]

I have spoken often of Jake’s gentleness, but not enough of his strength. The gentleness is easy to see; the strength, more subtle, but no less remarkable. For it takes courage to love me. It takes strength to stay.

Beauty — a sword, sharp and perfect, the blade of the sun. Terrible as an army with banners. One quick stroke, and it leaves behind the utter devastation of a heart pierced through with hopeless, helpless love.
