Summary
People tend to treat happiness like a fragile bird, always careful not to startle it, as if one wrong move might send it flying into the horizon, never to return. They make sure that it’s always nestled in its cage, untouched, never singing too loud.
But happiness was never that fragile. It perches on the edge of ordinary afternoons, it is not a bird that must be handled softly. It’s a creature that trusts you enough to land on your shoulder, to nest in your chest for a while. It asks only that you notice it — not to trap it, not to prove you deserve it — but to meet its gaze with a heart wide open.
It needs to be lived with — the way you breathe, the way you love — without fear of breaking it.
Or: The most self-indulgent fic of the three times Tommy’s being the comfort to someone’s hurt, and the one time someone holds that place for him.

"How did that poem go, again? 'Find me tearing violets, my love, in a manic daze; I am running out of softness and daylight, like winter’s cruel hours.' Fitting, really, he always ticks towards the coldest part of himself. He was always meant to live out out written tragedies. Always the oracle’s favorite, always the one too easy to predict."
Or, "And there where no flowers in the train station."
The one where Mael rocks again!
