REMI
the lullaby
Every now and then the things
I lean on lose their meaning
I lean on lose their meaning
Vi's hand upon Remi's shoulder is like a square-circle. It's crushing but life-giving, impossibly light and yet inescapable. It steals his breath and fills his lungs with air as he gazes upon the God of Life.
In the middle?
Gods but that sounds so simple; why hadn't Remi thought of that before? Opposing forces needn't be at opposite ends of the spectrum. Just on either sides of a line, and both Star and Lullaby have had more than enough practise stepping over lines.
But then he's falling, and for a split second he considers not catching himself. Would it kill him, if he didn't? It was caused by one he loved just as surely as if it had been Ronin's hand on his shoulder and not Vi's.
Oh, but Ronin.
Ronin.
He realizes, suddenly, brightly, and perhaps painfully too late, that he doesn't want it to be over. That perhaps there is a way forward for them that won't fix them too far apart from each other for them to see eye to eye.
Ronin...I want to come home.

And I find myself careening in places
where I should not let me go
where I should not let me go
Speaks with a thick Italian accent.
Force and magic can be used against Remi without permission.
