Would you help me search for a fairy cave on an August moon and a low low tide?

Title: Love [2] Rating: G Word Count: 212 Pairing: Circlecest Round/Fight: 4/A Warnings: Summary: Daja had known love before. Notes: Love is generally not my subject, but here's my go.
Daja had known love before. It had been a force of great surprise and heat, when all other heat she had known had been within her. Love made the world around her hot; she had always fit in heat. But that love was not forever love: it was fleeting, adored for the time it was there and ended on terms that made her feel iced.
But Tris had said, “She should have come with you, Daja. You have more to offer than a manipulative Empress,” and Daja’s heart had warmed.
Sandry had stated, tears in her eyes, “We came with you, Daja. We’ll always come with you when you need it,” and Daja remembered the feeling of home even as Sandry lost a piece of her home heritage.
Briar had shaken his head and thrown an arm over her shoulders, adding, “She was somethin’, Daj’, but you’ll find someone more. We’ll search together, near and far, wherever she’s hiding,” and Daja remembered humour.
It struck her that she had known love far longer than she had thought. She kissed them all. The residue of Rizu’s love would pain her heart, but she had three even greater auras to guard and love it. She loved them all right back and shared the heat.
