The Crow Contracts Exchange, a Dragon Age exchange focusing on the Antivan Crows, went live yesterday, and I just now got the change to read my gifts because of the craziness of everything.
I got not one, not two, but a whopping three amazing stories!
First up is Fourth Spaces, focusing on the gen relationships between Lucanis (and Spite) and Bellara, Lace, and Taash in a world state where Rook kept her distance from him. 2334 words.
Next is Gotta Kill Them All, focusing on the relationship between Lucanis and Spite. 520 words.
So, Blood and Tea and Red String (2006), the love child of one person, made over the course of over 10 years, is my new favourite thing. If you want to make a dark fairy tale, embrace the fact it's still a fairy tale, which this movie certainly did.
Basically, the aristocratic Mice ask the Oak Creatures to make them the doll of their desires. They do, but they live the doll so much they offer the Mice's money back to keep it. The Mice steal it.
Reality and fiction mix. I feel like there's something about women being treated as objects (and then there's the spider woman). Maybe I'm reading too much into it. Maybe it's just a surreal piece of art.
(Also, the water is made of, I think, that very transparent film one can use to wrap food or whatever. Lovely!)
I can imagine that the animatronics had a hard time holding themselves together upon seeing Foxy again. Now that I think about it.. Foxy must have been so worried about the others when he first woke up. Its like one minute he’s goofing around in pirate’s cove with some kids, and all his buddies are bein happy and doing their own thing elsewhere.. when next thing you know he’s waking up in the basement, and all his friends are just.. broken, and horribly grief stricken.
Freddy was a wreck. he had never seen the big guy so upset! Freddy couldn’t finish any sentence that he started, he just softly cried and mumbled things incoherently. He held onto Foxy for a long time, seemingly unable to let go.. Foxy didn’t resist it. Then there was Chica. She was so overwhelmed that she couldn’t speak, she could barley even stand.. when she leaned on Foxy, he could feel the sorrow and loss that she carried on her shoulders.. It worried him. Then there was Roxanne, she broke down crying and shaking as soon as she saw him. He expected her to say something about missing him.. but all she did was apologize. She felt so guilty for replacing him and having all the stuff in his green room thrown out in favor of her. It hurt to know that all his belongings were gone, but that was hardly his biggest concern at the moment. The biggest concern being their wellbeing.. and fact that Bonnie was noticeably missing from the group..
He did his best to comfort them all, but if he was being honest.. he wasn’t too sure how. He had never seen any of them this upset before. And the way they hugged him.. the things they said and the way they cried. All he felt was pain within them. It just.. it hurt..
..But you know? At least Monty seemed to be in good spirits. He was still feeling the shock like everyone else, but he was more happy to see Foxy again than he was upset about his long absence. And its a good thing too, Foxy really needed to see a smiling face after all the tears everyone was shedding over him.
