When we keep the fire, we are never alone.
Been having lots of Emotions over the past week. Writing this helped me handle them. Maybe it'll help you too.
With thanks to

That was awesome! Really, it did warm my heart! Even taking aside the most obvious recent event, it does feel like the world is becoming a darker place everywhere... Still, it's awesome how much we can do on a local scale. Just by being nice.
But yes, I really love both the story and the story inside of it! It does really feel honest and personal. I can't express how much it means to me that you chose the phoenix for it! It's an honor to help you go through those tough times!
I really don't regret leaving the majority of silent fans!

okay i'm really glad you liked it
because at first i was like "oh no what if i took his really fun horny idea and ruined it by making it sfw adfghdfg"
Worries aside, this means the world. I'm glad it spoke to recent events without becoming entirely about them. That was really, really important to me.
Thank you for the part you played in this story's creation. It's probably the best thing I've ever written, and it wouldn't have existed in this form without your help :>

Naaah, don't worry for me; I'm weird anyway; I'm more into mind control than into any physical stuff, so even if we forget about the whole tale, the story is smutty enough for me!
And, even if it weren't, it wouldn't have been a problem either! I consider you to be a very good writer, period, and I'll be happy to read all of your stories!

Thank you. Both for your feedback, and your role in forming this story. This is probably my favorite thing I've ever written, and it wouldn't have existed without conversations with you and others, so... thank you ^w^

This is... impressive. The elaborate vocabulary on display is something that really helps to set the stage for you, and the little poetic parallels between different parts of the story (such as, of course, the parallel of protecting the phoenix (i don't know these characters yet idk if this guy is established and has a name ;w;) just the same as the Keepers protected the fire, or, perhaps less obviously (or intentionally), the "weight that 10 elephants couldn't carry" thing at the start with the "happiness that couldn't exist in 10 people" thing later) really, at least for me, really seem to round things out and... reward you for having read the story, I guess.
Very nice writing! Very impressive skills. I think the story of the Fire Keepers itself is also just a really nice one, too. I definitely have to read more of your stories whenever I have the time!

"reward you for reading the story" is one of the nicest ways anyone could possibly describe my writing wtf

gah
Your words mean more than I can say. This was *extremely* experimental, and I'm astounded it was received anywhere near as well as it was.
To get to a few of your points:
- The bird doesn't have a name! That was very intentional, to keep the parallels between the myth and the story, with Kal'hari as Sal'zar and the bird as the stranger. It was also a stylistic choice: a comfort story works better when you can self-insert as the character being comforted, which is easier when he doesn't have a name.
- The 10 elephants/10 people symmetry was a complete and total accident and I'm so glad you think I'm smarter than I am
- Poetic is. Uh. A very kind word for an author of hypno smut. I can't claim to deserve your praise, but I'm more than honored to receive it, and will try to live up to it in the future ^w^

fair warning
my other stories are NOT this wholesome LMAO

Thank *you*. Truly.
As weird as it sounds, this is the most attention my SFW writing has ever gotten. It's an honor to have people even reading it. To get such kind comments as yours, after a lifetime of being very insecure about my ability to write non-smut, means more than i can say :}

Awwwwwwww.
That means the world. Seriously. I'm sorry it hit you so hard, but hope it was able to give some comfort.
Because I genuinely think this is the truth. There is no end to our fight, no final state where we can say "we won" and have peace and safety as a given. We'll have to fight forever.
But we won't have to fight alone.
Every one of us fights together. Past and present, near and far. The fact that we're still here means we haven't lost yet. The determination and care from this community means we aren't going to give up soon.
None of us can keep the fire burning alone. But all of us can keep it burning together.

I think this piece is very powerful. As the recalling of the myth began, it painted a really vivid mental picture for me of just everything else around the two of them going dark in the power and then almost the area around them illuminating with the story. The quiet determination to keep the fire going. That gets passed on through different small individual acts. To the point it will grow and burn ever brighter despite the challenges faced which may push it back at times.
Love this line: "And illuminating it all, eyes resting comfortably on his, was a sleek, glowing, handsome phoenix with feathers the color of fresh-lit flames and a dopey smile as big and warm as the sun" - who wouldn't want to protect and make happy such a bird?
Think this piece just shows how dynamic your writing range is - amazing work.
