Title: Ascendant Summary: Artemis learns to see beyond his nose. Genre: General Rating: G Pairing: None Warnings: None Father’s shoes shine black. His trousers are traced with thin grey lines. Mother’s skirts are long and silky and precious. She smooths them with open palms when I wrap my arms around her. Juliet wants to play soldiers. Her hair is a halo, lit from above. But I don’t like soldiers. Butler is a mountain above me, except when he sits on the carpet beside me. I wobble on his thigh to look into his eyes. Mother yells when I climb on the table. Juliet has eyes shaped like Butler’s. Mother’s lips are pink. Father hides my eyes above his nose. |
