Title: So Far Away Rating: G Word Count: 196 Pairing: Circlecest Round/Fight: 3/B Summary: Close to my soul/And yet so far away... Tris, Lightsbridge, and waking. (Someday, #5)
This looks familiar Vaguely familiar Almost unreal yet It's too soon to feel yet Close to my soul And yet so far away I'm going to go back there someday -- "I'm Going to Go Back There Someday" (Verse 1), The Muppet Movie
Everything changes when she wakes up.
The morning after her first night at Lightsbridge, and after a vivid dream about the family that's not there with her, she's ready to feel her distance from Summersea. She was too distracted before, but now...
From beneath the neckline of her nightgown, she fishes out the charm that Daja made for her. Well, she says Daja made it, but in truth, the entire thing was a collaborative effort from before leaving Summersea.
Now, she feels a pang, looking at the woven pouch that holds the small medallion, and the string that keeps it around her neck. Briar grew the flax for the pouch, the cotton for the necklace-string; they'd all gathered briefly to see Sandry finish weaving them into a pattern that would keep the magic of the charm from being detected.
Then Daja had brought out the medallion, living metal on copper, and one of the finest pieces Tris has ever seen. Tris and Daja had worked on that together.
Looking at the charm, Tris feels their support, but now she also feels, just as keenly, that the people who made it for her are so far away.
