A Tree Is Not A Human Thing - Other Tai Pov. An Alternative To Van's Existence In Season 2 Deeply Leaning

a tree is not a human thing - other tai pov. an alternative to van's existence in season 2 deeply leaning on hangsaman. thanks to @occasionallythreeowls for reading over this. written for @yellowjacketsoctober prompt 2 came back wrong

the person who answers isn’t van for a moment, her face shadowed and blank, but then she steps out into the weak light of the front porch, and everything shivers into place. everything is right again; you can taste her blood at the back of taissa's throat.

The most important thing is to have fun win.

the only living boy in new york - van pov; tai x van, van & nat & travis. 1809 words, van self destruction spiral in queens.

that isn’t the breakup though. you struggle, and limp, and drive yourself to d.c. drunk a dozen more times, and tai looks more and more brittle every time you see her. you finally call her in mid-march, higher than you want to be in your childhood bedroom, six weeks after shauna's nightmare wedding, the memory of tai's soft smile and pretty curls and satin bridesmaid’s dress choking you.

The dog.

I made this animation a year ago but I'm still very happy with it so I'm gonna give it some new life! I'd love to remake this sometime, but that's gonna be a far away future project I think.
