This fic is written with intentional run-on sentences, comma splices, and occasional grammar defying rules to mirror the tone in the story, so please take it with a grain of salt.
A great big thank you to Kim (KimAiko/yuniquekimchi) for reviewing this story and fixing my occasional tense mix-ups<3
The title is inspired by Samuel T. Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner".
"O happy living things! no tongue
Their beauty might declare:
A spring of love gushed from my heart,
And I blessed them unaware:
Sure my kind saint took pity on me,
And I blessed them unaware.
The selfsame moment I could pray;
And from my neck so free
The Albatross fell off, and sank
Like lead into the sea."
