Under it all, the dead lie, remembering. lair-of-dreams libba-bray Libba Bray

e4a65d2 The wind swoops over the tenements on Orchard Street, where some of those starry-eyed dreams have died and yet other dreams are being born into squalor and poverty, an uphill climb. It gives a slap to the laundry stretched on lines between tenements, over dirty, broken streets where, even at this hour, hungry children scour the bins for food. The wind has existed forever.

How could I not have seen it before?" kiss gemma-doyle gemma-doyle-trilogy libba-bray pippa-cross the-sweet-far-thing lgbt trilogy Libba Bray
