Tenderly, she picked up the broken crown from the cold floor. The cracking sound still lingered in the air, thick enough to be cut by a sword, suffocating the echoes of his yelling, and her scream.
She layed out the pieces in front of her. They looked sparse on the massive round table in the vast, empty hall, almost like a fragile abstraction of...

Witch's Hazel
As soft crystals survive the voyage from heaven, Winter's grip tightens beneath a bountiful, transitory fortune, the landscape a monochrome abstraction of shapes.
Within it, golden petals are unfolding, unimpressed.

Some hope for silver beginnings, others long for a silver lining. She'd give a fortune to have, at least, one of the two. What a beautiful colour: silver. She'd weave sailcloth from moonbeams, and tar fox with midnight, so that, one day, she'd set silver sails, and become her own light.

Frostbite her only companion, she leans against the icy rocks on the bottom of the precipice. Life won't wait as time longs for balance. Tiredness turns into fatigue, then into unconsciousness. Her last thought is no prayer, but a dream that shifts her into a new reality.

...endings became your acquaintances. How could they ever be at peace?
Yet, as a fairy, she'd give everything she had for the chance to only have this one last first kiss, even if a first kiss would mean the end. It still would be her happy ending.

Frozen willow branches arrested while teasing the pond's still surface, now glittering like a tinsel curtain on this canvas of a white landscape. A landscape, threatened to be lost to the Specters of the Northern Gales.
It was not the sword of an experienced warrior that convinced the ancient frost dragon to return to timebound realms, and stand against their destruction, but the candid courage of a...

Lost And Found
I woke up in the dead of Winter with no memory of who I was, or how I got here. In the dusk of a stormy evening, I recognised footprints in the snow, and followed them. The cold carried a scent of metal, and pine. It stung through my cloak like a freshly forged sword of Winter steel. A flicker of green light shot through the auroran fabric, then it went dark. I never knew why it didn't like me....

The blackbox was snowed in.
We had to find it. Otherwise, there was no chance to reboot the timemachine. It would be dangerous.
The whiteout obscured where cobblestone ended, and bog began.

Just like magic, blessings fell upon him from the sky. He'd brush them off, not ready to receive before he was reunited with his love, thus blocking her guidance.

Starlight twinkles, as if the sky, cloaked in black velvet on a cold night, winks at me to say:
"Unwrap me!"
I pull the golden ribbon of shooting stars.
A silver moon rises, reflecting in a new light, and I'm finding hope - not like a lightning bolt in toasty apolausticism, but rather in the frosty modesty of this silent night.

Hope.
What a strange little thing.
Sometimes, it warms your heart when the world grows cold. And sometimes, you’ll freeze to death while hoping for a little warmth.
Meanwhile, they slaughter fir at the Christmas tree farm.

Arms around her knees, crouched on the bed, she's rocking around with only one wish spat into the wintery overkill:
A shoulder to lean on - even if it only was for a brief moment.

Gifts spangle in the candlelight under the mistletoe - not in boxes, and wrapping paper, but in hearts, eyes, and smiles.

Beneath The Icebound Crown
Far under Winterheart's Ridge, where Wind Sprites unbound Northwind's gale to fight the human urge of planning, the crone is hibernating. With Spring, she'll be reborn as maid. In her dreams, she's already making the list of what flowers to wear.

Entities lined up along the icy path leading to the workshop, reminiscing, wondering if the stories were true.
The fire in the hearth crackled, when Ronan placed his offering. He had dodged destiny's avalanche for too long. There was no sin in facing the truth. As feelings transcribed onto...

...ostentatious.
The simple moments grace another year with gratitude:
A gaze diving into the white of a misty day.
The bird choir rehearsing by the pond in the evening.
Smoke rising from a chimney on a cold morning.
Newfangled prescience claims to know what's to come.
I wait, and let it show itself to see.
In the end, it will always be those simple moments, and a present me.

The first frost, bundled up in scarf and mittens, mistletoe memories melting fast as a cold Winter sun illuminates egregious shadows.
No regret.
I still wouldn't surrogate reality for some fairytale fantasy.

"I've got to keep my heart close..."

Footprints in the snow, falling on an old lane, glinting beneath a monotonous sky. A candle on evergreen. Nutcracker playing. A memory never made, snugly nestled in my mind.

...starry night, and froze out galactic beauty.
Tired of waiting, the tower fell. No sundress in moonlight colours emerged from the rubble. Only an inordinately bleak, and bland, tartan.
Slowly, I'm tracing whiffs of who I was in hopes that, some day, I'll remember who I am. Meanwhile, I'm learning to hold myself in all brokenness. And I wonder: How far does a goodbye go?

As I pull up my stockings, I won't wish for snow. I'll just act as if apricity was a fact, once I set foot under the grey sky with its apricot tinge that only Winter holds.
Passing by coloured lights of cars in the traffic, I notice, how I resist residual horror that's saying one last goodbye. Taking a deep breath, I...

Wake your dreams, they say. They wouldn't, if they knew my nightmares. Christmas party punch numbs the awareness for how the gravity of choices chosen splits more than just a fruit cake - pretending good will by offering what never can be any consolation.

Clouds
When we were clouds meandering the sky, a lightning bolt taught us the art of disappearing. Listing into opposing directions, our lagging behind could not prevent the rift. But fire, though a peculiar gift wrap, cleanses before destruction, until nothing artificial remains. Now, rain is my consolation, until the mountain...

Dashing in December, flying through the sky so high, sweet dreams of holly, and ribbon.
Only, my dreams aren't sweet.
The ribbon is choking me, until all breath seems gone.
The only magenta bleeding into the bruises no one can see.
The holly is real, though.
Its poison bitter.

Should We?
We should have stopped the moment it started. Alas, we didn't. 'Neath a vespertine sky, we moved towards the foreseeable destination, as if ache, not chivalry, was the best morning gift awaiting. Everyday miles unending, I am learning with age, to close the door faster. Gladly...

At the closing of an aphotic age, time tried again.
What's this?
The spark took time. Once steady, the circle traced ends in the glow of the snow. A chivalrous sheen took shape.

Our mind, the enemy of magic, they say. Yet, I mind the fairy lights in a vespertine sky. Yet, the sleigh bells ringing in the night matter to me. Aged packages unopened, I choose to pull the ribbon.
