    Summary

    "watering the roots" is a project/personal challenge to myself, where I go back and actually write fic for fandoms that were very important to me and my fannish journey, but that I either never wrote and posted fic for (often because I was too young a writer), or that I did write and post fic for, but only on old, defunct accounts.

    Part a resistance against how fast fandom has gotten (keep writing new fic for old stuff!), part an attempt to make this profile more reflective of my whole fandom life (which goes back much further than 2015), part something I just thought would be fun. Thanks for reading!

    Summary

    "The Dai Bendu language was spoken by the members of the ancient Order of Dai Bendu on the frozen planet of Ando Prime. The name of the Je'daii Order was forged in that language."

    "Every language is like a one-of-a-kind species. It captures unique conceptualizations of the world and has its own ways of constructing words, phrases and sentences for communicating ideas. As we compare the words and structures of various languages, we come to a greater understanding of our world. (...) Language captures how we perceive the world around us and how we relate to one another, it defines who we are. The Mother tongue language we grow up with is the one used to express what is in our hearts; our heart language."

    "Studying language is invaluable for learning about other cultures and mapping their respective developments, histories, myths, customs, etc. Linguistics also helps us understand and document geographical /environmental influences, periods of migration/diaspora, origin of certain spiritual beliefs, etc. through the study of things like cognates, shared myths between cultures, language families, and tracking differences in word usage and dialects over a long period of time."

    Summary

     A hand grabbed her arm.

    The Winter woman looked up in frantic horror, locking eyes with the Summer man in purple-black. With the heat coming off his robes, she felt like her skin was starting to scorch. The Upper fae smiled at her. “You,” he said, the words somehow arriving in her mind soundlessly. The man pulled on his right to administrate this small universe, the so-precious knowledge he had about all the subjects in his realm. “Niki Nihachu.”

    Her name, her name, her true name. It hit her mind like a lightning strike. Everything about her was illuminated, all the small directions and actions and decisions that made up a person, from the branch to the root in a single incandescent flare. And it was all under his control.

    Her luck had just run out.

    “I need you to hurt someone for me,” his voice said in her mind, and her body moved without her input. The Winter woman’s body stepped forward into a near-silent room, the only sounds footsteps clicking against the floor, the crackle of flame, and someone’s strangled sob.

    OR: a day in the life of some of the staff of the Midday Court.

    When social outcast Toge Inumaki finds Yuuta setting up camp in a library, he immediately senses that something is wrong. The unlikely pair agree to band together in order to save their beloved teacher, but time isn‘t on their side. They must work quickly to decode their teacher’s cryptic clues before their window for rescue closes for good.

    Summary

    “I hope you find yours someday, Yuji. It’s no good being alone.”

    If his grandpa only knew, then he would not have been so earnest in his wish for Yuji to find his soulmate.

    Well, soulmates. Because unlike most people, Yuji has two soulmarks.

    AKA in which Yuji can see soulmarks and has two soulmates; communication is a three-way crossroads no one finds; and fate and choice are two sides of the same coin.
