the red blood reigns in the winter's pale - Lorelei/Other!ElaniishineonOctober 22 2012, 16:16:55 UTC
Winter is their time.
True, Elani’s a springtime woman. And true, they met in the summer, with the golden sun and days spent just laughing together hand-in-hand, and later arm-in-arm. Lorelei loves the red-gold of autumn, but mostly because it’s the year sliding its way to winter.
New York isn’t much a winter city. The muddy slush on the sidewalk makes a poor pass for snow. But winter is when they go out in the night, separately and together. One fair and sunny, one pale and dark, both ready to torture and kill.
that some live to eat - AnnieishineonOctober 23 2012, 14:15:20 UTC
She’s chronologically sixteen when she wakes up. She’s mentally barely thirteen.
It’s not the lost time that shakes her, or not only that. It’s the empty space in her life that’s supposed to be Jimmy, Jimmy who was going to teach her everything and now never would.
Her father’s held on for so long. To have the one child left to him awake, alive in a way she hasn’t been for years… he holds on still. Holds her gently through the tears, the refusal to in any way live while Jimmy isn’t.

“This isn’t the way it’s supposed to be,” she insists. “Something went wrong- it’s all tipped wrong. I took a wrong turn, maybe, or someone dropped something at the wrong time. I don’t know.”
She watches them pad away, hears the heavy sounds of the door and the lock. Shuts her eyes against the too-young face, so like his brother. It’s the wrong one dead, she told them once, it’s Declán ought to be sitting with her, it’s Martin ought to be holding her as she weeps.
Too many possibilities to count. Her life isn’t supposed to be like this.

The slush is more beautiful, stained red.

But anyway! Elani agrees about the slush.

The day she eats voluntarily again, he smiles.
