First Light 15, Blue Caravan 3, Color Party 38: Upsides
Author: Kat
Title: Upsides
Story: In the Heart
Colors: First light 15 (Vouchesafe), blue caravan 3 (Something keeps you faithful when all else in you turns and runs), color party 38 (Dorado)
Supplies and Materials: Frame, novelty beads (Those voices telling you that it's all wrong, and you should be louder or softer or more fashionable or marketable? Those are the bad voices. The only guide you can afford to listen to is the obsessive, lovestruck thing inside you that keeps insisting it finds some particular subject utterly fascinating. Do not shame this part of yourself. Take it by the hand and lead it to safety.” -Doris Egan)
Word Count: 140
Rating: PG
Summary: Happiness.
Warnings: none.
Notes: Companion to Downsides.
It's hard to settle what they are to each other.
Lovers, friends, family, all of that, yes. Co-parents and spouses and maybe even soulmates. But they don't define it, at least not among themselves, because it isn't like that.
It's not about what each of them brings to the table. It's about what they have on the table at the end. It's about what they are together. What happens in the mornings, when Summer makes coffee for her boys, and Zack takes a zombie shower and Felipe kisses both of them on his way out the door. What happens in the evenings, when Zack flips channels and Felipe makes dinner and they both rub Summer's feet because she's been standing all day in heels.
That's what they are. That's what it is. If it defies explication, well, so do they.
