   Summary

   Sometimes a person is connected to another through their dreams. They don’t always end up meeting in the waking world, but when they do the relationships vary greatly: some formed romantic bonds, some formed platonic bonds, and some would try to kill each other. Some people have claimed that they’re connected to someone from a different time, be they someone from the far future or a famous historical figure.

   Ryland wasn’t sure he believed those claims. The person he was connected to clearly did, but Ryland was pretty sure he was making everything up. After all, Simon also claimed that all of the stars and planets were gone, which was just impossible.

   Summary

   The worst part is that it fucking hurts. Every second she claws at her throat and gasps for something other than blood is white-hot pain along every nerve, enough to throw question on whether her vision is blind from the blood or the torment.
   At the end of that, the dying is almost pleasant.

   When she wakes, it’s almost a surprise.

   or: Simon, Ava, the Last Tree, and what that entails.
