Flies in Amber
Title: Flies in Amber
Author: Signy1
Characters: DG
Challenge: Safe
Team: Tin Men
The bedroom had the shabby desperation of a forgotten shrine; even the faded pink ruffles mourned their loss. DG looked about, shivered. This was where she’d slept, and died, and its sadness was overwhelming.
The loose stone in the hearth slid beneath her hand, just as it always had. She held her breath-had Azkadellia remembered her secret compartment? Or cared?
No, it was all there-feathers, seashells, figurines from birthday cakes, the ring Ambrose had braided from tiktok wire, a rose-stem, petals long since crumbled to dust. Worthless, priceless childhood treasures. Her childhood.
She didn't notice she was crying.
