I remember someone once saying the two most important days of your life were when you were born & when you discovered why. I watched as Aphaea, the bright silver-white star, rose in the night sky just as she had the day I was born; & silently cursed her. #1stLinePit #Q #YA #F

I can tell someone’s status by their perfume. A birthright in all Vespery where anyone, if they have a nose that can smell even a whiff, the scent of a wealthy woman’s fragrance could follow them well into their dreams. Dreams marked by perfume magic. #1stlinepit #C #YA #F

"There are places where the skin of the world is thin. Where the atmosphere grows teeth: space can unfurl, convulse, or split like a frost-cracked tree; ghosts gather like mold.
