Title: Ephemeris, Ch. 1 Rating: T
WC: ~2400 words, this chapter
Summary: "His mother is steady as ever. An invaluable bellwether. A check on hope and despair alike. But Kate had never imagined how following where this conviction leads would open them both up to this. To the exquisite ache of memory." A post-For Better or Worse multi-chap.
A/N: A few things. First, his grew out of "Perigee" and "Apsis." I am presenting it as a separate story, because I think those stand on their own. This is more strongly informed by those two, but I still feel like it's a separate entity. I'd recommend reading
"Perigee" and "Apsis" (
chapter 1, chapter 2) as the prologue to this. Second, this is not a grand, plot-centered work. So if you're looking for something action-heavy, this is not it. It moves through events, but the focus is definitely on character/relationships. Ok, I guess I'll leave it at that.
