    Summary

    He goes to call out to the man, before he remembers.
    He'd held his own, and he'd held it well, had Castep.

    So who the fuck does this bastard think they are, mocking the memory of one of Thjazi Fang's dear friends?


    She hates it.
    For what it did to Thjazi. For what it did to Castep.

    She hates it. She hates that they need it, that they need its aid, but Cyd won't be any less of a statue if she doesn't use it.
    So she takes the rest of their merry band of soldiers to the curator of the Lloy Wing.

    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    ***
    How Grace finally gets back into a classroom, where he belongs

    Summary

    “You're my Aspirant. Part of my responsibilities as your ward is to make sure that you're safe and-” He's interrupted by a scoff from her.

    “It's really not.” Tyranny can't roll her eyes in her natural form, so there's no habit for her to do so in a human form either, but he can hear a metaphorical exasperated upward sweep of her eyes in her tone. “The complete opposite, actually. You think Grammy Yanessa was having me take first bites of your food to check if it was poisoned for my good? Hiring demons who can spit poison out of their mouths and rip people apart with their claws follow her family members around because she wanted you guys to be our bodyguards? Try looking up what the word 'ward' means sometimes. It might surprise you.”

    Summary

    It's not jealousy. Adrian is adamant about that. They are actually insisting that it’s not any emotion at all. Not even dislike. They are simply completely uninterested in anything that concerns “the human”. 

    Rocky believes them. Adrian has always been the level-headed one out of the two of them. They are too logical to be jealous. They acknowledge that Grace and Rocky have a special bond after everything they went through together and also understand that none of that will ever pose a threat to their relationship. 

    Neither are they heartless or ungrateful. They know that Grace is the only reason that Rocky is back at all, the only reason their star has stopped dying. Adrian has told Rocky again and again that they are grateful and happy and wish the alien no ill will. They even helped with the construction of the biodome.

    And yet they have no desire to get to know Grace. 

    **************

    You know those videos where the dad is like "You may keep the cat but I will have nothing to do with it" and a few days later they are smothering the kitty with cuddles and love?

    Adrian never stood a chance.

    Summary

    There are a lot of questions likely to run through one's mind when waking up to find a rapier at one's throat, but the main one occupying Thjazi Fang's in this moment was: Has Raimond Davinos lost his mind? The second, “Am I still dreaming?,” was probably more common, but so far, nothing Thjazi could see, hear, or feel, frozen in place on his bedroll in a much-patched tent in the Torn Banner's war camp, supported the idea that this was anything but reality.

    Nothing, that is, except the child at the opposite end of the rapier.

    Everyone knows that Sir Julien Davinos captured the great Thjazi Fang at the end of the Falconer's Rebellion. Most who give it any thought realize that he's impressively young to have single-handedly captured the leader of a rebellion 12 years ago... but what most people think they know about Julien Davinos' age is wrong. Going by the stated timeline of almost-13-year-old Julien's melee flashback in “Seeking Sanctuary,” i.e., “the year before the gates to Faerie closed,” how would little 10-year-old Julien have managed to capture Thjazi Fang three years earlier?

    Summary

    Alogar looks him dead in the eyes. None of the flickering gazes he’s been giving Azune, no trying to track him or figure him out. He stands on a street corner in the muddy road of Caravan Hill, and his gaze is steadfast. “I want to know how to use a sword.”

    After the Falconer’s Rebellion, Azune is sixteen and a war veteran. He hasn’t been a child for years.

    Summary

    “It's already so bad. They could have said all normal stuff, and the way she touched her face—” Demodus broke off with a horrified gasp. “Oh, shit! The head! I forgot about the head! Where is it?!”

    Julien Davinos is part kettle-hob/grig, but his "nice" head has been stuffed in a closet in the Palazzo Davinos since the Falconer's Rebellion. Now, the Tachonises have taken the Palazzo, and Julien has no idea what they might do to or with his head of blooms. Fortunately, someone else has actually managed to find it first…

    Scenes of (mostly) the Seekers and Schemers coping with the ramifications of Julien's second head. Currently follows the campaign canon as it unfolds with scenes occurring around canonical events or modified canon events, plus some flashbacks to Julien's backstory.

    Summary

    In the few brief heartbeats before his current body collapsed beneath him, Bolaire hoped he would dream of Hal. He'd never dreamt before, but what had there been to dream of? The Schemers wouldn't force Bolaire onto someone. No matter how much Hal might care about Bolaire as a friend, there were lines he wouldn't cross. Shouldn't cross.

    When Bolaire's body dies, he resigns himself to be “sleeping” for a long time. Azune, with the help of the other Schemers, refuses to let that happen, even if it means wearing Bolaire himself. What's a little body-sharing between friends, right?
