    Summary

    “Howl, howl, howl!” It was such a satisfying sound. O: the omega, the end. Bold and powerful. O, o, o. Circular, rhythmical, eternal. A letter shaped like the round, empty pupils of his daughter’s eyes.

    Before he tortures Gloucester in Act III of King Lear, Cornwall dismisses Edmund: "The revenges we are bound to take upon your traitorous father are not fit for your beholding." What if he hadn't taken this precaution? And what if Edmund's change of heart had come early enough to do some good?

    Summary

    The journalist’s mouth opens in protest, but Cordelia cuts in quicker, “In both stories the ship sinks, my family dies, and I suffer. I will tell my story as I wish it to be told; no more nor less. Will you accept the truth that I am willing to give you?”

    A stiff nod is the concession she gets. The journalist’s muscles are infinitesimally tense, and her teeth grind slightly against each other. Cordelia fights her innate urge to pacify, swallowing words formed to appease. She must stand her ground, before it cracks underneath her.

    “Begin whenever you are ready,” the journalist says, smile dull and placatory. A twinkle in her eye betrays her interest.

    or,

    The Life of Pi AU no one asked for except the silly gal I'm gifting this to <3 (and also me. I was VERY enthusiastic)

    Summary

    She cannot afford to give up on her position as a neutral party. She is not impartial and could never even pretend to be, and everyone knows she is far from impassive. But it’s something new for her — the middle child always shrieking for attention from anyone who would give it — to be the one whose favor is sought.

    Regan makes a choice, and sticks to it.
