Fire Tests Gold is a tumblr for Brittany's NaNoWriMo project, which is currently untitled because she's a dolt with no talent for titles. Apologies!
NOTE: I can't actually write anything for the novel until November, so if I post any .. drabbles or anything, they aren't going to be in the novel.

she expected the world

Full version is better, FULL VERSION IS ALWAYS BETTER.
This is me making very bad graphics at five in the morning. Hi.
(You might not get the bottom left square and that’s fine because it’s a scene from the book which you obviously have not.. read yet.)
I’m fucking tired and haven’t slept in seventeen hours but I’m working on this goddamn novel, not even because I’m like “OMG MUST WRITE ABOUT THE ADVENTURES OF MICCAELI” but because it’s two fucking days until November and I really need to.
My elbow hurts from how it’s been angled for the last few hours ow ow oww also I have a whitlow on my pinky finger and my eyes feel dusty ughgghffjgndfgf
“I should like to be a princess.”
“Do princesses often daydream whilst seeing to injuries?”
“Don’t be silly, brother, princesses have physicians for that.”
“Oh, of course, I was being completely ridiculous. Do continue with your fantasising.”
“Thankyou. You see, if I were a princess, then you would be a prince. And princes don’t get injured in fencing accidents. You could do your art instead.”
“I need not be royal to avoid injury, Miccaeli. It is a matter of skill.”
“You’re skilled at fencing!”
“If you say so, sister. You’re tying the knot wrong - there. That’s better.”
“You are skilled.”
“Then I shan’t be a prince, I’ll be a knight.”
“Like in the stories?”
“Yes, like the stories.”
”.. Well, if I am a princess and you are a knight, you can be my champion. Like Gwenhyfar and Lancelot. You can protect me.”
“I’d be honoured, mi’lady.”
“I’m so proud of her, Alessio. She’s going to be so beautiful.”
“She already is.”
