    Summary

    There's a whole tidal wave of emotions threatening to pull Saccharina out to sea to drown. She swallows them all down, forces a shaky smile onto her face. "It's nice to meet you as well," she says politely. "I would say I've heard much about you, but I fear that might be an exaggeration."

    "Ruby doesn't talk about me much, I would imagine," Jet nods sagely. "Has she at least told you about my ideas? You gotta ask her about my ideas, I had so many of them!"

    Saccharina thinks about the last time she had tried to ask Ruby about something Jet related, and the anger that had flashed across Ruby's face. Nowadays, Ruby is better at swallowing that anger down and being kind instead, but she's not nearly as good as hiding it as she might think she is and Saccharina knows, she knows their relationship is nowhere near the levels she once dreamed it to be. "I will try," she says quietly. "Your twin is very hard to approach sometimes."

    ~~

    or: saccharina speaks to the dead in a dream and then confronts death in the waking world. ruby refuses to let another sister die by poison.

    Summary

    In the world we know, Lapin dies staring into the eyes of the Pontifex, the voice of his patron whispering for him to come home. The Sugar Plum Fairy ushers him into her Realm of paradise, and he remains there until it crumbles.

    In another, kinder world, he still dies with his patron whispering in his ear. They just refuse to let him stay that way.

    Summary

    A love that gave him Fabian.

    ---

    Summary

    Ariadne loves her brother. Loves him with a strength that scares her in its intensity, loves him more than her kingdom, more than her crown, more than anything else in the whole world, loves him truly and wretchedly and madly.

    It is that last part that gains her some attention.

    (I suppose Aphrodite was busy that day.)

    Summary

    The tears are still sticky on Caramelinda's cheeks when Amethar proposes.

    "Look, I know this isn't what you wanted," he says, knelt down before her in his bloodstained armor, a messy spray of green sap drying across his breastplate. "It's not what I—" he exhales, heavy. "Fuck. I thought I'd be walking Laz down the aisle, not taking her place at the altar."
