Title: Ledge of Glory
Summary: It’s a perfectly natural thing.
Notes: The last Vanilla, and it took forever. This isn’t at any particular time or place, nor are these two anyone in particular. Sprinkles, though. Cookies to you if you know where the cut-text is from.
“Come on! It’s just a little drop. I’ll catch you.”
I did not like his tone. Falling was a perfectly natural thing to be afraid of. In fact, had humans not been afraid of falling, we’d all be jumping off cliffs willy-nilly and splat! That would be it. Just because there were spells to cushion the landing did not make a speck of difference. There was a time when no one had spells, and there will be a time again. If that day is tomorrow, I’d rather not be caught defenseless.
But, I could not explain. So I jumped.
