From shadows I'm revealed, my deeds all done

In name of nameless fury, and of hate.

But home's not where the hate is, little sun.

You, Beacon's light, led me from dark estates.

My mind, beset by terrors of the night,

Saw fears vanish like dewdrops in the morn.

The sunrise comes, the nightmares flee from light,

A new day for the lovers left forlorn.

A world so cold it freezes every heart,

And yet she is not gelid; no, she burns.

I cannot capture with this artless art

How truly my frostbitten being yearns

For light and warmth, a moment in the sun.

Yang Xiao Long, I say her name, and done.

A/N: As longtime fans may note, this right here is an excerpt from my other fic, Binary Stars, rather than an original chapter. I feel this poem is powerful enough to stand on its own, and recognize that not everyone who likes Bumbleby as a pairing will like Binary Stars. So - I thought I'd give everyone who wasn't into my other fic a chance to enjoy it.

... also I may have forgotten to write a chapter for this week whoops
