Summary
Lillian's life had slipped away like ice melting between her fingers, and the droplets of it clung to her desperate fingers still, numbing the skin and the flesh and the muscle and the bone, chilling her so no fire could bring those frostbitten fingers back to life. She wished, sometimes, that cutting them off was an option. It wasn't, of course.
Just as cutting the stalks from Lillian's lungs had long ceased to be an option by the time she let it be known that she could hardly breathe through them. Lillian had breathed, laboriously, mouth flapping open uselessly, air hardly finding space to fight its way into her lungs.
They had been horrific things, grotesque, bulbous and long-stemmed and spotted glistening red, entirely too large to fit in Lillian's slender throat and yet fit they did until they no longer wanted to, clawing and curdling and hacking their way out of her, and Alicia would always remember it, the sound, retching and wet and heaving, the smell, ferrous and floral and sharp and sweet, the sight, speckled petals giving way to whole flowers and they were the most beautiful white lilies Alicia had ever seen.

Summary
Michel Liu was not a living thing. She had not been a living thing, not in a very long time. As far as she was concerned, she never had been, and death- true death, not this pathetic mockery of it she was wading through- would only be a long awaited reunion.
Michel remembered cold white tiles and sluggish red and the whistle of breath, she remembered a rasp of a cackle and a too-bright voice and an irreverent spill of words, she remembered doors gaping open and a palette knife on the sink and the sting of paint. Michel was a person half-done, fragmented, unnatural and had latched on, like a begrudging gosling of sorts, to the first living creature she had found.
It was only her luck that that creature would be Eurydice Knight.

Summary
Beaford Lysenworth broke things.
His hands were clumsy things, his fingers incongruent with each other, fumbling and slipping and indelicate, things meant to destroy. He never was a fixer, a builder, someone with worth.
Maybe that had been what had driven him to accept the King's offer. Maybe the first time Beaford had ever felt worth something was when the King had looked at him, all of sixteen years old, and extended a hand. You're gifted, my boy, the King had told him. It would be a shame to waste that.
The King had, of course, been lying. Beaford should have known that from the very beginning.

Summary
"My son," the Queen said, "is missing."
"Well observed, Your Majesty," Eurydice said, head bowed low.
Michel closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, her fist clenching a little bit tighter over her heart, fancying she could feel the cold coin dangling over her heart press closer, warming, as if to lament Eurydice Knight's interminable stupidity with her, imagining she had Eurydice's throat in her grasp. Michel could just about hear the Queen's jaw crumble from the impact of her teeth colliding together. Michel sympathised.
"My son, the Crown Prince, is missing," the Queen said again. "And he was under your care. Your protection."
"Once again, Your Majesty, your observational skills know no bounds."
"I do not," the Queen snapped, " need your clever little quips, Knight. I need to know how you could have allowed this to happen."
"With all due respect, Your Majesty, he did not exactly ask permission."

Summary
Alicia's apartment had always been a bit on the strange side.
This had never bothered Alicia.
Beaford, on the other hand, was very bothered.
"Why the fuck," Beaford was saying, lights above them flickering on and off at a diorientingly rapid pace, "are they doing that?"
"Try switching them off and on again," Alicia suggested, as she transferred a bit of holy water to a container and then filled the rest of the container with tap water. Beaford had once asked her if that diluted the holiness of the water. Alicia had said that maybe the holy water wasn't all that holy in the first place if a little tap water could strip it of its holiness.
"They're already off," Beaford said, voice thin and reedy, and Alicia knew that if she looked up, the quick taps she could hear would be paired with the sight of Beaford pacing back and forth. "And they're fucking lights, I don't think they work like that-"

Summary
Magnolia Faragher did not believe in the supernatural.
It was a good thing, then, that the supernatural did not exist.
Unfortunately for Magnolia, however, the townspeople very much did exist and they were, as far as she was concerned, fucking freaks.
Magnolia couldn't tell you why she lived here, if she were being entirely honest. She could say something about parents at home and accusations of unethical practices at labs and unfriendly faces and rising rent wherever she went. She could say something about small towns and smaller bills and scientific journals that sold like wildfire- relatively so, considering the size of the town- and no one thought to question how the findings were made. She could, in theory, say something about a lot of things. This did not mean she had to, though, and so she wouldn't.

Summary
The girl seemed to understand, because a second later she beamed, beamed bright as the sun that filtered through the windows of Alicia's bedroom, brighter even. "Lillian," she'd said in answer to a question unspoken. "I'm Lillian."
"Lillian," Alicia had repeated, long and slow, far longer and slower than necessary, as if to savour the word. It was sweet.
"Do you want to read this with me?" Lillian had asked her, pushing forwards the thick book in her hands, A Brief History of Ancient Myths.
Alicia would never have read it if Lillian hadn't been there.
Alicia could not pretend to be much interested in the fantastical or the intangible, but Lillian was warm and Lillian was smiling and when the sun shed light upon their corner she realised her hair was a gentle brown, shocks of red bleeding through when the light hit just right, and her eyes were the deep brown of the earth, and her smiles were soft. When Lillian read aloud passages of light and gods and beauty Alicia settled down beside her and listened to her speak and thought of halos and clouds and wings.
((or: the bad ending of knightfall. this is not part of the series' main fic story.))

Summary
Sometimes, Alicia swears she can still hear her.
Soft, echoing, but there, certainly there, and now if Alicia just turns her head then-
Nothing. She's dead. There's nothing more to say.
Or could there be?
