green tea: well thought-out skincare routine, early mornings, self-care books, the sound of rain hitting your balcony window, blunt to a fault, taking frequent trips to the small cabin your grandparents used to live in located in the heart of a forest, hand-made flower meanings journal, the scent of sandalwood, mismatched socks, low-key superiority complex.
earl grey tea: london architecture, wet pavements glinting in the golden afternoon sun, old books, wearing your hair up in a bun, the scent of milk, dainty wrists, avoiding your problems, cardigans, vintage hand watches, local bands playing covers at the underground bar of your apartment building, unnecessary snark, the red string of fate.
ginger tea: thin, gold chokers, cat lover, artsy bullet journals, not knowing how to say ‘no’, mom jeans or no jeans, lightning scented candles at evening, hole-in-the-wall libraries and cafés, playing the guitar, younger siblings, tight-knit and supportive family, contagious laughter, having photoshoots with your friends in old alleys, spicy food, taking things too personally.
hibiscus tea: red converse, long summer days, 80s music blasting from a travel van, matching friendship bracelets, the sound of the ocean at dawn, lolipops, throwing darts at a map, easily riled-up, rose-tinted glasses, sticking your tongue out at strangers in the car, the scent of citrus trees, the italian riviera.
chamomile tea: platonic soulmates, having deep conversations with your grandparents, coloured crayons, liberal arts, keeping quiet despite having a lot to say, tired eyes, warm hands, a bit sad inside, playing the ukulele, big extended family, feeling homesick after one night away from your loved ones.

Summary: A welcome overstayed, a funeral at the farmhouse, a diary, a welcome overstayed (again), and a long walk over the hills.
Comments: Based on the summary, I expected this to be a very angsty story. But my goodness, was it beautiful, and though a little sadness runs through it, ends up mostly happy. I’m kind of in awe at how the author set this tone for the entire piece; it was as if I was experiencing the same stomach-fluttering and heart-clenching feelings as Sirius as I read it. I also thought the bits of Remus’ mother’s diary were perfect, gorgeous bits of writing (see below). I can’t even properly express how much I loved this fic. Another one of my absolute favorite pieces, from the Games and in general, I think.
Favorite Lines:
He is in love. It hurts him.
I wonder if he had ever fathomed this. If he ever watched his friends tumble into the orbits of one another, watched them dissolve into that helpless wonder at the size of their own hearts, and if he had thought: no, not that for me. Unnecessary, maybe, or even more so: impossible. Because of what we had told him.
I think he must be hurting, though. He is different, and he is in love. And perhaps he has been startled by the force of it.
• night owl: telling secrets to the stars, poems written at 3 AM, messy hair and sleepy smiles
• angel: sunlight making bare skin glow, the swoop of a dove’s wing, the warmth of a long hug
• forest nymph: flowers picked and placed in friends’ hair, faded pages of fairytale books, holding hands with everyone
• unicorn: smiling at strangers, warm sunshine after the rain, spilled glitter that’s too pretty to clean up
• siren: hand-written love letters slipped into bottles, seashell anklets, humming songs while lying in the tub
• fairy: the feel of moss on barefeet, whispering stories in the dark, soft giggles drifting through the wind
So I just watched Candy Jar on Netflix and God damnit it was so cute and sad. It pulled at my heartstrings so many different ways ah.
