Oct. 5th, 2013 04:14 amTitle: Yartzeit
Fandom: DC Comics + High School Musical crossover
Universe: Sharpay's Crossover Adventure
Relationship: Tompay (Tom Bronson/Sharpay Evans) - mention only
Summary: On the anniversary of his mom's death, Tom visits her grave and reflects on Jewish tradition... and how he almost eschewed it altogether.
Notes: The title is the Hebrew word for 'the passing of the deceased's anniversary.' While I'm not Jewish myself, I did dig a little deeper and researched the tradition a little bit. If anything's off, let me know! Tom's family is of Ashkenazi descent, so he would have grown up using "shul" instead of 'synagogue' in everyday speech. Additionally, I imagine that he was raised Conservative, and not Reform, so that's reflected in his mannerisms as well. Also, this is the weirdest birthday present I've ever given myself.
( Last night, as soon as the sun disappeared into the horizon, you lit a candle and silently recited a prayer. )
