Golden

Summary:

Fan art of fan art because Linnetagain’s “The Season” feeds my muse like Gale feeds his friends.

Notes:

Been reading the shining example of fluff and angst that is ”The Season” by Linnetagain.

Chorus is directly from “The Season,” the rest is just trying to keep with the themes of summer and a gold/silver color scheme.

(There is a whole ass melody for this, but until my much more talented sibling can help me record it all I’ve got is the chorus played on my ancient piano: https://jumpshare.com/v/8AW5BS7Ehco1h1wlmtBc)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Sometimes summer seems unending
Golden days and silver nights
One long season not pretending
Truly feeling you’re alive

Clouds come rolling, lightning flashes
Summer showers mild and warm
Diamond drops catch in your lashes
While we’re dancing through the storm

Golden summer, golden rain
We'll never be this young again
When every sunrise bears our name
We'll be golden, golden

Dark and dense the cover lingers
Bursting silver at the seams
Beams of light like golden fingers
Combing through our field of dreams

Every raindrop incandescent
Beading on your blushing skin
As your eyes turn opalescent
I just stare and breathe you in

Golden summer, golden rain
We'll never be this young again
When every sunrise bears our name
We'll be golden, golden

Every hour in your presence
Seems to me two hundred years
I would drink your very essence
All your hopes and joys and fears

I cannot imagine any
Timeline where we didn’t meet
This one day amongst so many
Seems to me a life complete

Golden summer, golden rain
We'll never be this young again
When every sunrise bears our name
We'll be golden, golden

Notes:

While Gale hasn’t met Astarion at the time he writes “Golden” in the fic, I could not resist throwing in the references to opalescent eyes, silver, and a couple of vampiric allusions anyway. Poetic licence and all that.
