we_will_mend_our_patchwork_wings sabbie with sap from our very souls and they will shimmer in the firelight and to the_sounds_of_a_judy_small_song 020519 ... phoenixboi yay! can u do mine too? mine are so matted down and stepped on i dunno that if they even work any more.. 020520 ... birdmad as for me i'm gonna rip my old ones out and replace 'em with helicopter_rotor_blades 020520 ... sabbie my dear phoenixboi, of course i can mend your wings. not knowing anything about you, i will gather your matted wings... hmmm... you know, i think we can work that in. [phoenixboi watches sabbie at work] gently peeling the wings off the floor, sab peers at them from different angels making 'hmmm'ing and 'tut'ing noises. she places the wings carefully on her batcave bench and soaps them gently with warm water. she doesnt wash off all the grime, 'after all' she says 'they wouldnt be yours if i washed off your life's fingerprints'. with a pineneedle threaded with smoke from gods burning bush she carefully patches the holes with flames from a bushfire. she mends one of the broken bones with branches from your favorite tree from childhood and the other bone she (with a wink) replaces entirly with troll spines 'borrowed' from the local museum. she covers the inside of both wingswith velvet, lace and old blankets (to keep you warm at night) and muttering to herself 'every phoenixboi must have music' she hangs a little bunch of tiny shells from one wingtip and a little posy of rusty nails from the other. sabbie steps back. ..there go 'boi, your mended pair of patchwork wings... 020521 ... phoenixboi rising (*giggling with boyish anticipation*) im so glad you included the music enhancements. the blanket was a cool thing too--very needed. i am forever grateful my dearest sabbie! 020521 ... phoenixboi gotta say i wouldnt have any other kind of wings but the patchwork desine. [perfect white ones are too common atlho perfectly good.]. just curious, did a bell have to re-ding (or did it never ding in the first place?). 020521 ... . . 031116 ... pipedream could i have a pair too? i used to have angel wings, but i had to pull them off and i can't find the ones i used to have before that, somehow. patchwork sounds cosy. 031117 what's it to you? who go blather from
