Summary
"You're good at this," Orym murmured, watching her with curious eyes.
"Well," she said, lips tugging into a crooked grin, "I've had a lot of practice… on horses."
"A lot of your horses get shoved off sky ships and clocked by giant sails?"
"You know, it's a real big problem back home."OR
After a brush with death aboard the Silver Sun, Imogen checks in on Orym - only to find that he's already checking in on her. In the quiet aftermath of flight, fear, and falling sails, the two of them find an unexpected kind of balance.
A soft, stormy coda to Campaign 3, Episode 23. Hurt/comfort, found family, emotional intimacy, and just a little bit of balm.

Summary
“You’ve got this twisted idea that you have to be the one holding the rope when we’re dangling over the void. That if we fall, it’s your fault.”
Orym can't sleep. Not really. Not when the weight of loss and responsibility keeps tightening around him like a noose.
Ashton isn’t exactly the gentle type - but he’s not about to sit back and let Orym break quietly.Series

Summary
While on a mission post-Predathos, Orym suffers a grievous injury. Seedling's magic can heal him, but Ashton will have to go to extreme lengths to get it back - and it soon becomes clear that he lost more than just his arm in the fight. Orym, Dorian and Ashton lean on each other for reassurance in the aftermath.
(If I had a nickel for every time Orym lost and regrew a limb in one of my fics, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t much, but it sure is weird that it happened twice. But then they had to go and canonically give Seedling the ability to restore severed body parts. What was I supposed to do, really?)

Summary
Fearne stood alone when the brute with runes roared and charged, dragging a wicked glaive behind him like a plow through earth.
She was still laughing—probably casting something mischievous—when Orym turned, saw the angle, saw the speed, and moved.
Not a thought. Just instinct.
The glaive came down like a guillotine.
Fearne turned slowly, confusion in her now wide, round eyes.
“Orym?”
He didn’t answer.
OR
Fresh Cut Grass isn't the only member of their party who forgets to take care of themselves.
Orym protects his friends, despite the cost. They might just have something to say about that. If they can save him in time.

Summary
Bells Hells has returned to Vasselheim, intent on convincing the gods that descending to the mortal plane is their best option. Vasselheim is wary, and upon the gods descent, reacts rashly to the group that caused it. Are the Bells Hells the heroes in this story? Or the villains? Only history can decide now.
A rewrite of the Campaign 3 finale, leaning further into Bells Hells as morally ambiguous saviors. If a few dice rolls had went just a little to the left, where would Bells Hells be now?

Summary
Fearne has never been to a public school, so Orym agrees to tag along and keep an eye on her as she starts college. Ashton and Milo are both just doing their best to stay out of jail. Imogen and Laudna are new roommates waiting for the other to make the first move. Dr. Grass is a therapist specializing in trauma recovery who doesn't know how face their own issues, and Chetney is a grumpy old man running a maker's space very badly.
Maybe having an LGBTQ+ gathering will help the workshop's visibility. At the very least, it will make Thursday nights more fun!

Summary
"Is this okay? Helping?" Ashton can feel the warmth of Orym's breath brush against their throat and collarbone. His skin would have sprouted gooseflesh if it wasn't stone. Ashton clears his throat,
"A bit, I guess." He feels the huff of Orym's laughter more then hears it,
"Would you like me to stop?"
"No," Ashton replies a bit too quickly. There's that huff again.
"Okay, good." -

Summary
Orym sits awake, the sending stone gripped tightly in his left hand once again, a thousand messages in his head, none on his lips. He sits awake, his last message in his ears, “Glad you're not here. Wish you were anyway”, again and again and again, until he smells cherry blossoms and buries his head in his knees.
