Daniel POV...
'May your mouth contain the shapes of strange words.
May you smell food cooking you have not eaten.
May the spring of a foreign river be your navel.
May your soul be at home where there are no houses.
Walk carefully, well loved one,
walk mindfully, well loved one,
walk fearlessly, well loved one.
Return with us, return to us,
be always coming home.'

-- from "Please Bring Strange Things" by Le Guin

Notes:

Warnings: Meridian fic – no fix.

I never intended to write a Meridian fic, but there was a song that just wouldn’t leave me alone, and it reminded me of Meridian, so I wrote this. Not a happy fic.
