Summary
It had been days since Gwendoline received attention of any kind, and in her silly selfish vanity she mistook the girls’ honest grief for the silence of a captive audience, thrilling to her every word. “Why,” she began, tossing golden curls back across her shoulder, “I remember when I was young, and Mother said I might have a kitten for my own – but then Father forbade it, and I cried for days as I mourned that kitten. It’s not quite the same as Alicia, of course, but—”
“I don’t care what anyone else says,” Darrell said, speaking up quite suddenly, “but if you don’t stop this minute, Gwen, I shall send you to Coventry for as long as I live.”
(Gwendoline had never been a good girl, nor a kind girl, and under present circumstances this seemed rather more unfortunate than ever.)

Summary
An alternate ending to Muse of Nightmares based on a theory I developed while reading the book that features a little more involvement on Thyon’s behalf.
(The “implied/referenced” tags above just mean things from the books are mentioned in the fic—nothing worse than what’s already canon.)
~*~
But that was the problem with making wishes. Thyon had spent as much energy on wanting to be his own story as he did his own spirit for azoth that he forgot the one rule when it came to wishes. It was understandable that he’d forget this rule, after all. He had left all of Strange’s books back in Zosma, and, with everything going on, with his mind otherwise diverted, he had simply forgot. Thyon would get his wish, there was no doubt about that. He had made a wish, and the universe had listened. But the rules still held regardless.
Thyon Nero forgot to be specific.
