I'll be the kind who sallies out
to wait for love
with musk-kissed hair.

From Lament—I
I think of returning to that life,
but mostly I try to remember
how the world was once.

Hi, everyone! I'm sorry I haven't been around very much, and as usual I'm sliding in under the wire, but I'm super excited! Tomorrow is the first day of July, and that means our comment fic fest!
For those of you who are unfamiliar, every day in July I'm going to post a fragment of Tishani Doshi's poetry that anyone can use for inspiration to write.
Also, don't forget that amnesty is still open for anytime who wants to write something for the previous prompts in the community.
I'll see you tomorrow!

Once Upon a Time - in your darkest sorrow
Feb. 7th, 2019 11:18 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Title: in your darkest sorrow
Fandom: Once Upon a Time
Author: A. Magiluna Stormwriter, aka
ariestess
Rating: PG-13
Pairing (if there is one): Regina/Gold, mentions of Cora/Gold
Summary: "Today is not one of his better days," comes the soft reply. "In fact, this may be the worst one he's had yet. You really should consider--"
"If you cherish your life, you won't finish that sentence, dear. Now let me go see my husband."
Content Notice: dementia, use of restraints
Disclaimer: "Once Upon a Time," the characters, and situations depicted are the property of Adam Horowitz, Edward Kitsis, Kitsis/Horowitz, and ABC Studios. This piece of fan fiction was created for entertainment not monetary purposes. Previously unrecognized characters and places, and this story, are copyrighted to the author. Any similarity to real persons, living or dead, is coincidental and not intended by the author. This site is in no way affiliated with "Once Upon a Time," ABC, or any representatives of the actors.
Author's Note: This was legit one of the hardest fics I've ever written. Dementia runs in my family, and I thought it would be fascinating to have it happen to the Dark One, well past his third century of life. How would his wife and former prized pupil handle this brilliant strategist and sorcerer losing his memories and his ability to discern where and when he is, as well as whether he's speaking to his wife or her mother, his former lover? The title of this fic comes from the Stevie Nicks song, "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You", which played on repeat as I wrote this fic. I chose Alasdair as Gold's cursed given name because it means "protector/defender of men" and would be a fitting dig from the Evil Queen to her mentor. This may or may not end up as a proper series down the line.
And yes, I understand that this potentially sounds like The Notebook. That was NOT intentional.
Word Count: ~2k words
Prompt:
There'll be a time you grow
so young you won't know me,
and this is terrifying
because I still have things to ask
about the body and dying
and where memories go to live.

As a girl she wore ribbonsOn AO3
in her plaits. I miss her even though
it has been so long since I knew her.
I think of her great care towards ants,
Of the shiny coins she slipped me.
Of the words I take from her mouth
and paste into imaginary notebooks.

Just explain the mystery to me.

Outside the town, with a banquet
In a field of belladonna?
