Hope

Zyanelle

Twenty-four-year-old Clementine Bailey has spent her whole life working sunup to sundown on the Bailey farm. Feeding animals, fixing fences, harvesting crops, doing the work everyone expects her to. The dependable farmer's daughter with dirt on her boots, a soft smile, and a secret she's carried since she was sixteen. She's been in love with FinLeigh Drayton, pastor's daughter, town sweetheart, and her best friend, for eight long years. FinLeigh has spent her entire life trying to be perfect. The perfect Christian, the perfect daughter, the perfect fiancée. Courting Everett Bishop, the golden boy from one of the founding families should feel right. Everyone says it is. But every kiss leaves her cold, every touch makes her flinch, and every whispered prayer begging God to make her "normal" goes unanswered. Because the only time she's ever felt anything real- was with Clementine.

[STATUS: COMPLETED] Apollo to Icarus. "Golden child, Lion boy; Tell me what's like to conquer. Fearless child, Broken boy; Tell me what's like to burn." - oh darling, even rome fell // p.s (via madzie-bane) *** Everything had always been in its proper place. Until it wasn't. In the final year of her college life, something shifted like a crack forming beneath glass. And Alexandra, who had always trusted the structure of things, began to notice how easily everything could fracture. It didn't happen all at once. Identity blurred into something uncertain. Family became a weight she could neither carry nor escape. And then, without warning, death brushed too close, leaving behind a silence that lingered longer than it should. Alexandra didn't shatter. She descended into a hollow space where survival felt more instinct than choice, and destruction followed like a shadow she could not outrun. A beginning. But rebirth is never gentle. Transformation demands a cost. And not everything that rises is meant to be saved. Was Alexandra ever meant to escape the invisible prison that life had so carefully built around her? Or was she always destined to fall- like Icarus, who mistook the illusion of freedom for flight and paid for it in ruin?
