The Hearth And The Salamander

The Hearth and the Salamander

It was a pleasure to burn. It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed. With the brass nozzle in his fists, with this great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world, the blood pounded in his head, and his hands were the hands of some amazing conductor playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and charcoal ruins of history. With his symbolic helmet numbered 451 on his stolid head, and his eyes all orange flame with the thought of what came next, he flicked the igniter and the house jumped up in a gorging fire that burned the evening sky red and yellow and black. He strode in a swarm of fireflies. He wanted above all, like the old joke, to shove a marshmallow on a stick in the furnace, while the flapping pigeon-winged books died on the porch and lawn of the house. While the books went up in sparkling whirls and blew away on a wind turned dark with burning.

I really like this book, so I thought I’d share it. It just came back to me and now I want to reread it!

Here’s the link to a pdf if anyone wants to read it with me.

Omg I just saw you have a tumblr. I joined coz I saw yhat! You talk in your A/N like you know Anotherinternetuser and dusweet! Do you? I love little Ed fics and I was wondering if you would ever consider making one all together and collab for a little Ed fic 🥺 ❤️❤️ Idk if that's something you do

Oh, I’m so glad you reached out. <3 Thank you very much.

I do know Lynn and I’d love to get to know Sweet more. I have an obsession with little/baby Ed fics. I don’t know if you are talking about my Christmas fic or Small Things, so I’m not sure what vibes you are looking for, but honestly I’m always down to make more of either. As for collaborating, that’s certainly up to the others. I’d be honoured to do a collaboration with those lovely girls. Though, I am also terrified of the idea of collaborating with people... My heart is racing just thinking about it. XD I have no idea why. But it’s always good to step out of your comfort zone, so if the others wanted to I’d totally be down. Thank you so much for the ask!

They are always welcome. <3

I made a meme to express how I am feeling today.

Just Ed eating noodles

They will now...

How do I fit that into a fic I'm already writing because I have way too many open docs...? Can't start another. 😅

Do you think Ed and Al have separation anxiety?

By no means is that out of hand.

The Ed stack is getting out of hand guys…..
