Planting Life in a Dying City (Kolchais, E3: The Worries)
This one’s a bit rougher than I prefer. Figured that getting back in routine and getting it out was more important that getting it fully polished. Season content notes: ableism, internalized ableism The next few days passed quickly. The charcoal family arrived to collect the ruins of the Colorwork Weaver’s home. Chotaikytsai watched them go…

Planting Life in a Dying City (Kolchais, E2: the Spinner)
Season content notes: ableism, internalized ableism The sun on eir face woke Kolchais. Ey blinked a few times, eyes trying to adjust to the brightness. The warmth was soaking through em, leaving eir limbs feeling loose and relaxed for once. Not wanting to lose the feeling, Kolchais didn’t move. Instead, ey reviewed eir memories of…

Planting Life in a Dying City (Kolchais, E1: the Fog)
Season content notes: ableism, internalized ableism Kolchais trudged through the market, doing eir best to ignore the thudding pain accompanying each step, each breath. Ey couldn’t take day work like Lefeng and Tsouchm, could barely help clear the debris and prepare the ground to build their new home. But ey could do this. Little as…

Planting Life in a Dying City (S2 Finale)
Season content notes: The next day Tsouchm and Lefeng went out again to turn logs into boards for the city. Tchyawfu met them again but said little. And nothing of their discussion the day before. Tsouchm left em to eir silence. Some things need a little time; others need a lot of time. On the…

Planting Life in a Dying City: Tsouchm (S2, E8)
Season content notes: Tsouchm and Tchyawfu spoke of small things on the way home. Tchyawfu, unlike Tsouchm, was part of a ‘pseudofamily’ and had news to share of what eir partners were up to. The few children they had had were gone, living their own lives. Some with partners of their own, one going Tsouchm’s…

Planting Life: Tsouchm (S2, E7)
Season content notes: The next day, Tsouchm led Lefeng through the slums of the city toward the west gate and the worker’s market. The hard work of digging up the base beams was done, and what was left Paiokp and Kolchais could do. Which meant it was time for Tsouchm and Lefeng to start bringing…

Planting Life in a Dying City, Tsouchm: The Name (S2 E6)
Season content notes: No one said much until dinner had been cooked, and they began to eat. Then Tsouchm looked up from eir stew and asked, “Does the council’s decision matter?” “Of course it does!” Kolchais said, “We can’t live in the city without their approval.” Tsouchm snorted. “I have lived in this city my…

Planting Life in a Dying City, Tsouchm: The Year (S2 E5)
Season content notes: Lefeng, of course, opened the gate. This time Tsouchm noticed that ey walked up to the broken ward with a hand on eir belt knife. Guarding, then. To Tsouchm’s surprise, when Lefeng opened the gate it was not just Chotaikytsai who entered, but a priest. Eir tunic was green with brown bands,…

Planting Life in a Dying City: The Year (S2 E4)
Season content notes: Lefeng, of course, opened the gate. This time Tsouchm noticed that ey walked up to the broken ward with a hand on eir belt knife. Protective one, maybe. Or guarding one. To Tsouchm’s surprise, when Lefeng opened the gate it was not just Chotaikytsai who entered, but a priest. Eir tunic was…

Planting Life in a Dying City: The Scrape (S2 E3)
Season content notes: Tsouchm scooped up the over-energetic Chestef, and together they walked Chotaikytsai to the gate. The council meeting would start early and run most of the day. Chotaikytsai carried the scribe-rod that permitted eir to speak for them. Ey wore the skin and fur of some great beast over eir shoulders like a…
