Look, I know my "how has another month gone already?" screeching is going to get old real quick, but...
...how has another month gone already.
(Also I am late-ish with this post because I went to a friend's wedding on Saturday and got home after 11pm. I love you all but not enough to stay up past midnight. I'm an old lady and need to sleep.)
(individual images can be found my Pinterest boards: c. guys, f. dialogue, a. until the clock strikes midnight)
*screams into the void*
Wow! Don't those fortnights fly past!
...and yes, as predicted, this Quirk fought me most of the way. It's not what I expected it to be, either. It's a smol awkward gremlin of a story with just enough heart for me to forgive it.
Edit 13.9.20: Updated the story to Version 2! If it still doesn't make sense please let me know. I have a terrible habit of letting my characters get away with spilling ZERO beans, and that is why I need to get my family to beta-read. Because in my head I have just enough info that it make sense, and my characters actually mention none of that info. 
“You are sure you wish to do this?”
No, I’m not. I don’t care so much that I lost my shadow. But they also took the colour from my eyes, my ability to sleep anywhere but under the stars, and the last two letters from my name, leaving me at ‘Li’. No one knows what my name was before that. I don’t remember what my name was before that.
(Lily? Lisa? Lian? None of them feel familiar.)
“Positive.”
