{written for the 2012 reverse round of originalbigbang, for trishkafibble's lovely and inspiring picture here. go and give kudos! i think i managed to fit everything from the picture into the story, except for the roller coaster. if the characters seem familiar, that's because this is a sequel of sorts to last year's entrySometimes when Plen woke before the sun, he lay in bed

This is so sweet and lovely. And I'm so glad to get another glimpse into their lives! :D You do a great job of world-building without dumping information.

[gentle_edgar]

Thank you! World-building + not-info-dumping is a combination I work pretty hard on--gratifying to hear it's working. And Plen & co. are wonderful fun to write about.

Oh, this is so lovely, Brat!! It's fun to see the various elements of my picture within the story--but I'm glad you made the story so much your own. It's grand to see the return of Plen, Faraji, and Joy (and Baby!). Like all of your characters, they live vibrantly in your words, sweet and gentle but with real depth. It's a privilege to have had an influence in the genesis of one of your beautiful works!

Thank you so much for the beautiful picture--without it, this story wouldn't have happened. And your kind words help me keep going when I'm feeling frustrating with what I've written (or haven't).
