This is an official index of my ongoing story, Seed's story. I am not very good at thinking up titles. This will eventually include all chapters and other required reading, and if there's any illustrations or other related stuff, I'll put it here, too:
Oh, and Commentary, now that the story's over. Skip over the italics if this is your first read-through, I'd advise.

[center]Before You Get Started: Required Reading

A Forest Fairytale
Seed's backstory, in fairytale format. Since this story is all about the consequences of his backstory, and working through the issues of identity and home that this creates, it is essential that you have a rough idea of the story.

Prologues

The Near Prologue
Note that this prologue was written over a year before the rest of the story; as a result, it's only vaguely connected. The only skippable part.
Despite being skippable, I don't cringe...much... when I read this. It sets up the basic conflict of the story pretty well. I only went and called it "the near prologue" after writing the "distant" one. I abandoned it for over year because I didn't know where to go. The basic steps were the same -- I knew I wanted Seed to go outside the ordinary bounds of the Forest, but from there...eh?

The Distant Prologue
[i]This is one of the three chapters for which I wrote this entire story: I nearly did it as a comic, but decided against it a while back. This is much cooler anyway, right? ...yeah, right. Still, I like the idea of deer having to pick their names out from the void. I deliberately withheld the answer here so the answer to the question in the penultimate chapter would still be a little surprise -- but not too much of one.

Running around in the forest is Pretty Fun, All the thing's to see and Explore make's it worth it 8D!

Chapter 2: In Which Resistance Is Futile




He had been walking for what felt like forever; the trees hadn’t tried talking to him again. The Oldest Forest was as lovely as he remembered it. Like the forests where deer wandered, it always seemed to be Spring here. Only someone making careful observation, only someone dreaming slowly, could see the difference. So here, the trees were always soaked in white blooms that drifted in front of his face as he walked like snowflakes falling around him. In the places where the light shone red and the flowers stopped falling, it felt like autumn; in the places where the blooms were too high up to see, it was summer. But Spring was everywhere, tangible as air.

If he weren’t trapped against his will and lost, Seed would have been awestruck by it, even after the near eternity he had spent there, once. His neck hurt, his head felt heavy. He walked with blocks of ice for legs, not bending so much as folding to let him fall, and then catching him before he hit the ground. Somehow, this moved him along. His golden eyes vanished behind his heavy lids, as he struggled to stay on a side of conciousness. He had to stay awake, awake until he reached home. He kept repeating that idea in his head. Then he heard a rustling – not the trees speaking, but something moving in the bushes. His ears perked up as he turned his head.

“Why, hello there, Mister. I haven’t seen the like of you before,” a little voice said. Out of the bushes emerged a little brown squirrel with bright green eyes the color of spring leaves. “What are you supposed to be?”

“I’m a deer…I’m lost, actually. I don’t live in this…place,” he finished, lamely.

So I found out the hard way that airsitting is a goddamn chore if you're looking to sit in a specific spot.

Thanks to VCG/Virgil, I finally figured out how to get to the near top of the Ruins. Now, for the longest time, I have imagined a little Thylacine using the top of the Ruins as a playground, sitting and lounging as she pleases.

Well, thanks to some dumb luck, I managed to find a tiny corner spot that's just perfect for her to sit on. It's the correct height, correct length.

Earlier today, I decided to leave it to socialize with Dag, VCG, etc.

Well, afterwards, I decided to try and get back up there to show off a bit.

Dag signs off.

Still not up there.

VCG signs off.

Still not up there.

Demon and Fay fall asleep.

Still not up there.

Demon wakes up after about 30-45 minutes.

I'm STILL not up there.

It took me about close to TWO FREAKING HOURS to get back into that spot, and even then, Alkina's front end is off the ledge by about 2 inches. Which, may not seem much, but to an OCD perfectionist like me, it's quite aggravating.

Long story short, airsitting was supposed to be fun, but, in retrospect, it's a goddamn chore.

If there's anything that should be fixed in the game, it's the ability to actually MANEUVER WHILE YOU'RE UP IN THE AIR, AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HITTING THE GROUND.

I came close SEVERAL times to getting it right, but I would end up being off by about 5-6 inches or so.
