Autumn Brume, No Winter (Drabble)

Autumn Brume, No Winter (Drabble)

Based on a reference of Autumn theme picture, finished on 2nd November 2023. Not beta read.

Orange maple leaves pitter patter on a slick concrete path, wetted by the sky's cloudy tears last night, by a gentle breeze of morning, those leaves carried a watery weight, dark as rouge joined in falling from the branches. Ground gained a sprinkle of chilli flakes near trees' stable roots; some distant leaves made a greeting and bowed to a kitsune interlinking his arm with his angel, staying to bear his divine steps.

Weight of the universe, they crumbled under his feet; the kitsune twists his cosmos by capricious branches of his fingers. Their fate, straying from their long standing nurturer of the less beautiful protector, without any intelligence, they stayed on the path in pieces even the deities left long, long ago.

Mist dusted on mountains of blooming red and orange maple leaves stayed to give their tree a flowery hat for an upcoming rain. Scattered over a lone rocky formation, white clouds howled "toro toro" moving a translucent cloth of fog upwards. Clearing up a sight of a lonely white holiday home, on a balcony contains the kitsune sitting leaning his head on his angel's shoulder. His sight, his brain formed images of the witnessed atmosphere, maple leaves showing their naked radiance for leniency for survival against weaponry and anything shining sliver.

"Such a shame...I don't possess their fear in my hands." He, now Death, smiled wily.

The angel blew a veil of fog away from his chilled face, "Mercy shall be granted, my Lord, towards what is around us."

Behind them, tears of maple leaves left behind the fog dispense over deities, a loose pile to bury them by a command of their sky's winded howl.

One by one, all leaves touched the wooden balcony; the embrace of mystical beings not from their planet, kitsune and angel - they soon disappeared.

Soon, the maple leaves' last sight through holes of light fog barrier is a downward spiral of purple sphere of doom. The kitsune and angel held hands together on their next diligent journey.

No pain against their trunk, no more fear of execution. The trees held their last breath. Orange and red trees became purple, to white, to black, they were no more.

The scenery, no more autumn. Only the void marks their memory.

Ship Meme: DoShi

@floaromaxtowns I'm glad you didn't forget about them this time, our gay fossil ancestors, they are the one who started this all xD Send me a ship, and I’ll rate it:

Squick / Just nope / A trainwreck you can’t look away from / Mehh but they are bloody everywhere / Not interested but no negative feelings / I need to see how I could make it work / BroTP / Cute / I love them / They rented a room in my mind and are here to stay

The best part about this pairing that I can see them as best friends (besties for centuries) and as romantic partners at the same time. They have a good understanding of one other and they are each other's only link to their past, their struggles, their trauma and their faith on the Sanctuary and their love manages to survive just like them. But they are also so so funny, as well as I see them slightly kinky and unhinged af, they have no filter and why not their shared hobby is roast the young saints. Slightly kinky and I like to think they treat their peace after revival like a honeymoon. They deserved it af.

Hey I don’t know if this is being talked about on Tumblr but thankfully the AO3 subreddit has a conversation going about this app that just went live.

TikTok user unravel.me.now has just launch an app (lore.fm) she is calling “Audible for AO3”. It’s an app that uses AI voices to read out fics.

🚨She is requiring any authors who do not want their fics to be on this app to OPT OUT by emailing team@lore.fm 🚨 🚨She has not given an actual template or how you’re supposed to prove you’re the author or said how her team will process this or how she will keep these requests secure🚨

I do not have this app. I haven’t seen anyone use it yet. According to Reddit users, unravel.me.now’s earlier TikToks stated she envisions the app being able to create libraries stored on that app and to have version of “Spotify wrapped”. That implies that eventually data collection must happen, if it’s not happening currently.

I don’t know the actual capabilities of this app. I don’t know the legalities. I do know that it personally feels like this app is trying to turn AO3 into a content generation source and I haven’t heard of the app allowing you to leave a comment or kudos or interact with the original work.

I’m just sad about this.
