It's not his fault, I just don't like it.

( he and pierce hadn't been even-matched either, but pierce was a powerhouse in his own right, and he'd been the one who had brought oliver back to life--so oliver was tied to him regardless. and while pierce isn't a mechanic witch, he's also closer than theo is. rangor worked well, because his magic feels demonic, oliver's secondary plane.

but being alive is first and foremost, most important. he's alive. )

I'm surviving, but I'm not like, thriving, and this place didn't bring most of my shit, so I have to rebuild.
