Hello, dearest Constants! ♥︎ We've missed you (so bad). 😢 Things have been a little quieter around the atelier lately… but you're never far from our thoughts. We often find ourselves wondering how you've been and what little things have been filling your days lately. First of all, thank you for staying with us. Whether you've been visiting often or only stopping by every now and then, it always means so much to see you here. This little corner wouldn't feel the same without you. ;_; And please bear with us for just a little while longer, okay? 🥺 Lately, we've been spending our days rearranging and reimagining things behind the scenes. Not because we're leaving this atelier behind, but because we're carefully preparing a new chapter of it, one that feels a little more complete, a little more us. Some pieces are already finding their place, others are still scattered across our desks waiting to be polished, and a few are tucked away until the right moment arrives. It's been a slow process at times, but one we're pouring a lot of care into and we can't wait to share it with you when everything is finally ready. We won't say too much just yet, but we hope you'll look forward to what's ahead as much as we do. Maybe our next meeting is closer than either of us expects. X3 Until then, please continue taking care of yourselves, getting enough rest, enjoying your favorite treats, and finding little moments that make your days brighter. We'll be here, working away and preparing everything with love. And when the time comes, we hope you'll be here to see what we've been creating. Until then, dear Constants... we'll be thinking of you! 🦦🩶

Now who's been walking around our house and leaking all these little secrets... 👀 You all seriously know how to keep people well-fed and well-loved. :3 Thank you for always saving us a seat at the table while we're still busy tidying up the atelier and getting everything in its place. In the meantime, please keep serving everyone the warmest meals. We'll keep the lights on and the doors ready for the day we can finally welcome everyone home. We'll definitely stop by after the kitchen rush to borrow a bite or two, and when our little atelier is finally ready, we hope you'll come over and make yourselves at home too! Until then, keep cooking up all that love. We'll always be cheering you on from right next door. Just don't forget to save us a plate…! 🍽️🤍

[²] A PRELIMINARY RELATION:
Concerning the House of Aster.

✾

The beginning of these papers is no longer certainly remembered. Some bear neither date nor signature; others conclude before their proper end. Yet they have remained together within the House of Aster through many passing seasons, preserved with a care no one afterwards thought fit to explain. Herein are found letters, memoranda, and sundry recollections of lives once lived beneath its roof, whose names, though seldom spoken now, have not wholly surrendered themselves unto oblivion. What followeth is gathered from those remains…

ENGRAVED INTO THE MARGINS OF TIME ‘AŞKA GÖTÜR’ | FROM HOLLOW ROOMS.

Love never sought my lips before it found a home upon my tongue. Whenever love arrived, every word became a quieter blessing. If the door were to refuse its opening, leaving only the road to meet the breathing wind, I’d still wander toward that forgotten turning where my footsteps once found their way back. Yet, my desire held on to an us. Suhaila Anarkaji & Pahvor Tislorim. My palms rested between the heavens, above the hill meant for none save our own naming, where every fondle taught me the calm under the leaves, a shelter gentle enough to cover tearful eyes within the refuge you became. There lived a heartbeat worth pursuing, and an embrace like an over-the-hill grandfather with worn arms that knew solace before language alone was born. What more could anyone hope to find? Were we over-young to behold the truth hidden inside an empty house where only two souls remained? Again, your faith held you, and you became the only one who saw love heal every bruise. Call it the warmth that makes a face remember how to smile. Oh, I’ve never known another name for such devotion. And albeit every blossom surrenders, and every street forgets our names, this soul will not leave. It’ll linger eventually, and I’m left by the heartbeats that carried me ever nearer the place where I had unknowingly belonged since first beholding you.

The House is finished, so far as any House may ever be called finished. There will always remain another room to mend, another page to amend, another flower to press between its leaves. Before these papers are laid aside, we would leave our grateful acknowledgment to our beloved daughter, Ralminë (@sottva) whose faithful hand has given this place much of its present countenance. If there be any grace to be found within these halls, no small portion of it belongs to her. To all who have waited for our return, and to all who now cross this threshold for the first time, we thank you for granting the House a place within your own remembrance. May it continue to deserve it. Until these gates are opened once again to receive new faces beneath the asters, we bid you farewell for a little while. May we have the pleasure of your company when that day arrives…! 🩶

… The House is seldom in haste, nor does it seek company merely to fill its halls. Through the passing seasons, many names have crossed its threshold. Some remained only for a little while, whilst others became so familiar that the House could scarcely remember its rooms without them. Yet no Register is ever truly complete. There are always a few pages left unwritten, and a few places waiting for those who have not yet found their way.

Perhaps every House has its own manner of finding those who are meant to dwell within it. Some names arrive by chance, some by curious turns of fate, and some simply find their way to the door at the proper hour. Thus, the gate of Aster is opened once more, not for those who seek to appear without fault, but for those who know the worth of sincerity. If these pages have kept you here a little longer than expected, perhaps there is a reason your path has led you this far.
