*Ana*

“So, here it is?” I take in a deep breath and turn. “How do I look?”

I would take a spin to show Father the entirety of the dress, but it is too difficult. All the jewels and embroidery make the dress heavy. Just extending my arms, I can feel the weight pull me down.

All this work and the dress is still impractical. I can’t help but renew my distaste for the dress. Not only is it gaudy, but it’s not even functional, which I consider the worst sin. But I console myself that this will be

  • Will Bear the Moon   Chapter 137 Mother Knows Best

    *Hildenberg* Peridot eyes met hers. That very same shade Hidi saw in every mirror — that particular green, cool and clear, the color that had reminded her all her life of exactly where she had come from. How, as a child, Hidi took such delight in it. In finding that matching pair of eyes across a room and watching them find her back.The way they would light when they landed on her, sparkling with a joy that seemed to belong to Hidi, and just Hidi alone, out of anyone else from her brothers or sisters. Something as if there was only one thing in the room that was worth looking at, she was it. Hidi took pride in it. Held onto that look that made her heart swell each time. Making her drop whatever was in her hands at the time, and storm across, arms already open, certain of her welcome. Certain that she would be caught up. Lifted. And held inside broad warm arms, the safest place any person in the world could be.Because she was favored. Loved. The one best liked out of anyone else. A

  • Will Bear the Moon   Chapter 136 Surmounting

    *Hildenberg*It took everything in her not to just run. Though every part of Hidi wanted to. She wanted more than anything to just break for it, let her legs do what they were built to do, cover ground fast and without apology, and allow herself the dignity of falling apart somewhere no one could catalogue the specifics. To stumble. Gasp. Press her back against some anonymous stretch of stone wall and let out everything that was climbing her throat in hard, ugly increments.But that would not do. Giants, especially royal ones, did not flee down corridors like wounded little girls with crushed flower crowns. Weeping pathetically with tears burning behind their eyes and their hands curled so hard their nails bit crescents into their palms. Queens of Almony did not run.Fiancées of a Prince, soon to be crowned King of Dawny, most definitely did not run. She reminded herself.So Hidi did not run.That left her with only the next best thing.Hidi moved.Her stride widened — great long l

  • Will Bear the Moon   Chapter 135 Prt. II Heartless and Heartfull

    *Nicoli*"What?"Nicoli blinked. Then blinked again, as if the repetition might produce a different result — might rearrange what he had just heard into something that made more sense. Almost as if fighting back what he just heard.But he had heard it. He was certain he had. No one in their right mind would just make something that outlandish, that ill-timed up, even if they were as exhausted as he was at the moment. Yet his mind simply refused to accept it. Because the very idea, itself felt so wrong for this corridor, for this day, for this particular moment with its mourning cloth and its half-hidden birthday streamers and his father's things already disappearing down the hall in crates — felt so fundamentally misplaced, like a word appearing in the wrong sentence, that some part of him could not accept it as serious.When are we getting married?Her question hung between them in the close corridor air, drifting up to entangle themselves between the black ribbons and the funeral

  • Will Bear the Moon   Chapter 135 Quick Sand

    *Nicoli*Their walk was a silent one, for once. Just two shapes moving through the corridor while the candles shifted in the soft drafts that ran through the castle's old bones. The tick of ice flicked against glass as they passed another gloomy window. Nicoli's leather boots gave a low, rhythmic squeak against the runner. Hidi's heels landed with that solid, unhurried certainty she always carried — the walk of someone who had grown up on mountain floors that did not accommodate softness, and had never had reason to second question it.He was grateful for the silence.Silence was easier to travel through right now than almost anything else. It did not require a smile. Did not require the particular management of voice and expression and the precise calibration of how much to show and how much to keep banked. He could simply move through it, one foot and then the other, and let it take whatever it needed from him without asking directly.But silence had teeth.It sharpened other thing

  • Will Bear the Moon   Chapter 134 Clean Up

    *Nicoli*The study smelt wrong somehow. Nicoli noticed that before anything else .The smell of his father had always been here. That ever constant scent of soap and wood shavings, something that had been so foundational to this room, that Nicoli had never thought to catalogue it before. Just only breathed it in for eighteen years without registering what he was doing.But he registered it now.Because it was fading.Not gone completely. But it was thinning. Slowly fading into the background enough to make him understand it would not be there much longer.The curtains still held some of it. The leather of the chairs. The grain of the desk. But it was retreating from the things being moved, abandoning the objects as they were lifted and wrapped and placed into crates, as if even the scent understood that the objects no longer belonged here and was declining to follow them out. Like some important essential thing was fading too fast. Far too fast for him to see how helpless he was to s

  • Will Bear the Moon   Chapter 133 Kaleidoscope

    *Anastasia* The carriage groans as it climbs. It is not a sharp complaint of something about to fail, but it’s low, thick, like wood protesting between iron asked to do too much more than what it was used to, in weather it was not built for. The sound matches the rhythm of the horses outside. Even through the walls, I can hear them.The poor things.They trot on in the brittle winds and snow. Heavy, rhythmic in their effort as they push hooves on packed snow and grit, the occasional snort of breath that sounds almost human in its exhaustion. They don’t stop, even as the whole vehicle sways slightly with each gust that comes off the mountain face, a long, lateral lean that makes the brass lantern overhead swing in small, pendulous arcs, sending its amber light traveling slowly across our faces and away again.I lift my hand to the small carriage window on my right.My gloved fingers smear a clear patch through the fog that has gathered on the glass to make a tiny view beyond the co

  • Will Bear the Moon   Chapter 50 Collabaration

    *Queen Belinda* Queen Belinda stared into the pair of red eyes. Even though Mykhol was exceptionally handsome, the hue of red warned Belinda to be wary. Even Lucifer was said to be beautiful. Thus, Queen Belinda was simultaneously intrigued and sickened by him. It could be worse. Queen Belinda relen

  • Will Bear the Moon   Chapter 78 Hangover Breakfast

    *Belinda*Belinda sat alone at the finest table. She was partly glad to have chosen to have it set up outside. Though it was morning, she could already feel it had the potential to be a hot day later.So, it was the perfect time to enjoy the sights of the trimmed lawn and pristine flowers comfortably.

  • Will Bear the Moon   Chapter 52 Private View

    *Mykhol*Mykhol watched Ana’s face change from shock to her usual stoic expression in real time. After that, she only lifted her eyes to look behind him as if expecting someone. Mykhol couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed that her excitement for him was so short. But he managed to keep his ex

  • Will Bear the Moon   Chapter 51 Peek-A-Boo

    * Mykhol?*Mykhol left Naska on the sofa so he could dress. And he went to the mirror and pulled his gown on. Behind him, Naska stretched. Her naked body was free to see in the mirror.“Do you plan to keep lying there?” Mykhol went counting the bite marks he left on her. He had left many since he was
