    Summary

    “My god,” Stanley says. “You’re losin’ it, Sixer.”

    “I am not,” Ford snaps, except—

    Except, well, Ford knows he has a tendency towards paranoia—and, sure, ever since Bill fried his brain he’s been known to see a few things that aren’t there. But this is different.

    “I’m not,” Ford repeats, more quietly. “I’m not crazy.”

    Or: a story about ghosts and the gravity that pulls a mind apart.

    Summary

    "Papa..." Simon said, "why does the little girl lie to King Frost? Isn't that bad?"

    "Yes, lying is very bad,” his father said, “but sometimes it is necessary. If she had complained about her discomfort, she would have offended him."

    Simon frowned. "But he was hurting her. How could it be rude for her to tell him that?"

    His father was silent for a moment, his eyes distant with thought. “Because she was being resilient.”

    "So it's okay to lie about...being in pain?”

    "Only if it keeps others from hurting, yes.”

    “Oh...” 

    That still didn’t feel right. But if his father said it, it had to be true, didn't it?

    ⸻❅❄❆⸻

    (or: a fairytale misunderstood, an affliction hidden, a fading ghost haunted, a question unasked, a frostbitten soul, and finally, a hand reaching out for warmth)
