I was just made aware that I've been here a year already. So, cheers to that, Vallo.

	Happy (???) anniversary, Q. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Happy enough, I guess? Better here than at home. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Congratulations, Quentin. Will you be doing anything to celebrate? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	No plans to, really. I hadn't even realized until Eliot said something. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	A year sounds like a landmark to aspire to! Congratulations! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It completely snuck up on me. Thank you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Any regrets in that time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, that's a deep question, ha. None that I can really think of? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It wasn't necessarily meant to be! But that's good to hear. I'd say it means you've made good choices here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There have definitely been ups and downs since arriving, but I feel like that's not much different than what might've happened if I were back in New York or Fillory instead, you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know what you mean. Having your baseline stay stable is a positive. So far, this place has been a reprieve for me - much calmer than home, even with its quirks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Outside of the few things that have happened since being here that put my life in danger, I can comfortably say the same. It's been really nice to just... have a fairly normal life for once?v (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rubyred 2022-05-27 03:14 pm UTC (link)
	I completely agree. I always thought I'd want more and more adventure, but I've had my fill the past few years before arriving here. Having normalcy without monotony has been really nice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	themaladjusted 2022-05-27 03:21 pm UTC (link)
	I know how that feels completely. I'm just really happy here. My boyfriend and I have a home we're working on making ours, we have two cats we love, we have steady work; it feels good to be able to settle and put down some roots and not have to worry about thee world ending or magic being taken or whatever the fuck else.

	rubyred 2022-05-27 03:29 pm UTC (link)
	Our worlds sound a lot alike. I'm with you - it's nice to set all of that aside and focus on life instead. Magic can figure itself out for once. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	themaladjusted 2022-05-27 03:36 pm UTC (link)
	Fucking amen to that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	One year in one place seems so odd in a way considering the quests and everything we went through, but I wish you nothing but happiness all your days here. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	themaladjusted 2022-05-29 05:15 am UTC (link)
	I don't think I ever though I'd manage to spend one year in the same place again after ending up at Brakebills, honestly. Everything back home was always so chaotic it just didn't seem possible. But thank you, El, for that. With you by my side that happiness here is way more achievable than it would have been. (Reply to this) (Parent)
