This is for rawles, because a long time ago I promised her epic futurefic and I AM STILL PLANNING TO WRITE IT WHEN THE SERIES HAS FINISHED, but for now...this!

Title is from Dylan Thomas: terror will rage apart / before chains break to a hammer flame / and love unbolts the dark.

( Crouching under the low table requires Mai to simulate obesiance )

when they're ringing your curtain down

Why did nobody ever tell me about this song?? Antonio Banderas' voice couldn't be more sexy if it were made out of red satin and draped in dark chocolate. And High Flying, Adored is almost as good. (Moral: the Evita soundtrack can cure ALL ILLS.)

Speaking of things that are wonderful: villainny is hosting another Valentines Message Post, and you should all head over there and leave messages of love and random hugs and drive-by adoration for anyone on LJ that you feel like expressing your (totally manly) feelings for, and on Feb 14th they'll receive an email linking them to the post.

And in the continued spirit of pimpage: rawles wrote the most fucking awesome Mai fic ever, which is unsurprising because she is the ORIGINAL MAI FANGIRL and writes her gorgeously -- Reign Within, Mai/Ozai <--- YEAH, I KNOW, WTF, BUT TRUST ME. READ IT.

And now to sleep, because I have to make a million salads and clean half the house before noon tomorrow.
