A Road

Name: Clare
Story: unknown
Colors: Tyrian Purple 29, don't look back; Heart Gold 18, Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze. - Elynor Glyn
Supplies and Materials: Miniature, bichromatic
Word Count: 100
Rating: G
Warnings: no standard warnings apply
Notes: This is a direct sequel to The Pathless. This world actually has no name yet; sorry! Once I come up with one, I'll request the tag... (Suggestions welcome. It's mostly about the robots, and it also gets more of a hard-SF setting later; later stories will be set specifically in Los Angeles.)

Question: Since I'm aiming for a Bichromatic with Tyrian Purple and Heart Gold, should I be listing that under supplies and materials and in the tags?


Lett left with her.

Camedris didn’t. But Alacenna had expected that. What she hadn’t expected was for anyone at all to come with her.

She knew it would be frightening and strange. She had never been outside of the master’s house before, and Lett had only left to drive the car. The light was so bright it hurt her eyes.

And Lett was so bright he hurt her eyes—but in a good way.

So though there was no path through the forest when they found it, they made their own road. They illuminated it with the light of love.

Ohhhh, Ohhh! This was quite sweet. The last line just put a smile on my face.

I really liked this line, and the sense of someone in love who doesn't necessarily have the vocabulary for it. The emotional and physical are so deeply connected, and for someone who's probably been told that she is nothing but a body and mind, it seems very natural to translate the emotional force of love into a physical sensation or perception of her beloved.

Thank you so much! You're really articulating well the stuff that I completely didn't think about when I wrote this XD But yes, that describes Alacenna's mental state well. She has no idea what's going on but she likes it.

I'll read this later, but--yes, you should be listing it with its style tag. When you finish the two colors, you get a banner specifically for the bichromatic, as well as the two for the colors.
