    Summary

    Henry Winter wasn’t a man so much a gravity. And oh, did he unravel me. Quietly it began… calling all things by new names. He came like a truth which chased me down, wrapped in a radiant calm that made me want to tear my stillness apart.

    There were moments when I saw him, and he saw me—moments full of such raw honesty, the likes of which life had yet to, and has yet since, offered me. In that way, darkness was not punishment but an invitation to integration—one I cannot help but be eternally grateful for.

    He taught me that wisdom is not what’s found when one kneels to pray. Instead, it hides in the most peculiar place, in those long stretches of ‘dark nights’ that make one wonder if ever again, you’ll see the light of day. That, to Become one must first endure the destruction which liberates through decay.

    I suppose it is as Rilke said: “Beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we are barely able to endure, and it amazes us so because it serenely disdains to destroy us." I, stupidly, did not think of how heavy such a truth—for the most beautiful of them all—would weigh.

    Summary

    “Bill’s really givin’ it to him though,” Richie laughed, mouth full, “Poor Eds won’t be able to walk.”

    “... How do you know it’s Bill fucking Eddie?”

    “It’s gotta be Bill. Daddy, remember?”

    Stan hummed a moment before responding, “But Eddie has that… chaotic energy. I can’t imagine him bending over for someone as easygoing as Bill.”

    “You imagining them a lot?” Richie joked, but the laugh died out at the heat in Stan’s cheeks. “Yeah?”

    “Shut up,” Stan hissed, like the two would hear them over their own cries, “I don’t.”

    “Nothing to be ashamed of, babe.” Richie said, no jealousy in his voice, “They’re hot. I get it.”

    “Oh my god, Richie -”

    “Think they picture us? Think they hear how sweet you cry for me?”

    Holy shit. Holyshit.
