Who: Tris, open =P
Where: Potions lab
When: Evening
Rating: R. Wolfsbane makes Tris tense and sweary.
Status: Ongoing
Summary: Wangst
Tristan exhaled softly as he worked the potion. The first few steps were fine. They always were. He had the first few steps down. It was the upcoming part that always fucked him over. He tried variations now and again, different methods of focus to try to make the potion turn the right color, but he'd only ever come close once.
Once.
He hadn't been able to recreate that moment since. And he knew at least half of it was mental - he was expecting to fail, so he did. But it wasn't all mental, so did it matter if he expected it or not, since it was going to happen?
Staring into his cauldron, Tristan reached for the powdered willow bark to add it in. Then there was stirring, a little bit of sweating, and then there should be blue.
Why was there never blue?
