“…So we must be strong when they will not.” He looks back at me. I look away from him and back at my lover, who is still speaking straight to my protector. I shouldn’t be surprised to catch John glaring at me across the fire.

Those who do not have the strength will die.” I use this as my chance to find those hateful eyes. “You have to understand.” Joseph says to Jacob now. I’ve abandoned my family and my only friend for this life.ĭespite Joseph being the center of attention I feel other eyes on me. Surely he must know that all my devotion lies with him. I know there is a reason he spoke those words straight to me. We can not cling to those who will not come to us because they will be dust in the wind in the end.” Our mothers, our fathers, our brothers, our sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends. Those we love and care for and say they love us but don’t approve of us being here, they will be forgotten. “Even those of us who we call our friends. They will all be forgotten.” His eyes find mine. Those who don’t understand us, who resist us, who remain willfully ignorant and hateful of the beautiful family we are creating will be burned to ash. The earth will rebuild itself brand new, as God chooses it to be. That nothing we are looking at right now will be around after the coming of the Collapse. “We must not forget that the world as we know it is only temporary. I pull strands of hair over the band aids, and keep my chin down and tilted to the side. When he comes back around to my side of the fire, I try to keep my right cheek hidden. I sit up straight with my eyes shining in enthusiastic engagement, eagerly listening and hanging off of every word. Everyone is enthralled by him, but I am a teacher’s pet. Joseph walks around the fire, taking in all of us as he tells a story, trying to reach every single heart in the circle. I think he figured out it was best to keep his distance. John is on the opposite side of the circle, half of him hidden by the flames, angry eyes glowing in the orange light, an elbow on his knee and fingers preening the corner of his moustache. Like he’d be ready to drop into push ups on command. I sit on on a bale myself, with Jacob on my right, towering beside me, arms crossed and eyes on watch. Square hay bales surround the flame, forming seats, although many of us have chosen to stand, kneel, or sit on the floor. The smell of burning wood fills the night time air. The fire glows bright and beautiful in the heart of our community. The moon is high and the sky sparkles with stars. Primary relationship: Faith Seed / Joseph SeedĬhapter Warnings: Referenced/implied rape.

Thanks to some wonderful people (namely and, plus others who aren’t on here) I have decided to resume posting updates for this fic on Tumblr <3 Chapter 11 is already out too, so I’ll be adding that post to the cue shortly.

#IMAGINARY HALO REDDIT UPDATE#

A/n: this has been on AO3 for almost three weeks but I didn’t post the update on tumblr because… I went through a period of intense self doubt and misery.
