Summary
“I know,” Amethar says, grief lining his words like poison. “Lapin. I know. But we have to run.”
Lapin shakes his head, and the world turns on its axis, the grass sloping beneath his feet, the stars overhead streaking across the sky.
(Or: the one where Lapin makes it out of the cathedral, but Theo doesn't make it out of the castle.)

Summary
“You would abandon us so easily, Chancellor?”
“If my lady so desired,” Lapin said evenly, inclining his head in practiced, feigned politeness.
Caramelinda’s nostrils flared. “Prove it.”

Summary
"Everyone needs to learn a little self-preservation here."
It had been one of the few things that Lapin had agreed with Theobald on. Why was it then that he had resorted to self-sacrifice?
Keradin never delivered his final blow on the Chancellor, but the royal family could do nothing but run away under the assumption that Lapin had fully fallen. Escaping off to sea made it impossible for Lapin to reunite with his group in his injured state upon fleeing, so truly, what else could they believe?
(Complies with a majority of the events following episode 6)

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
If the tomes I have struggled to comprehend are to be believed, you will know this letter is meant for you when— if— it finds you. I intend to burn it in offering to the Sugar-Plum Fairy. She may be gone, but so are you, and so I suppose you may be in the same place. I don’t imagine she will be kind enough to give this to you, but perhaps you will be clever enough to find it.

Summary
Lapin blinks slowly at Brassica as she steps up to the bars of his cell, the guards splitting around her like so much water over a stone. He inclines his head, trying for regal and probably failing.
“Heretic.” Her voice grates against his eardrums. “You have awakened.”
“Zealot. You haven’t killed me.” Lapin replies, dry.

Summary
It is becoming easier, almost, to adjust to the new way of life. He has switched to using his left hand to cast the spell, and the effects are creeping further and further up his left arm with each passing day, even if they vanish by the next morning.
But that is an understandable price to pay. A reasonable price, if it keeps everyone else safe. It doesn’t matter, really, if he has started to find more and more lacerations from stray waves of shadow each morning as he lies in his untouched bed. It doesn’t matter that the pupils of his eyes, when he gazes into the reflective glass of the captain’s desk, are starting to disappear entirely. Nor that he will sometimes start at the faint feeling of fingers threading around his neck, tracing the line of his cheek.
“Praesidio. Praesidio, fortier defendebant, defendebant splendide...”
The Rocks family is safe. Any price is worth that.
***
Lapin Cadbury returns to the living during a storm at sea. The Sugar Plum Fairy has her own twisted web of manipulation to spin, with him at the very center.

Summary
What would have happened if King Amethar died in that cathedral instead of Lapin? Well, the good chancellor and Sir Theobald would have had to care for Liam and the princesses themselves. Some relationship would’ve had to come from that, right?

Summary
Anger is burning in Lapin’s chest. It is bitter, and it is bloody, and it shines brighter than any Bulb the church might care to invent.
Normally, he leaves his emotions be. He cannot afford to let feelings drive him forwards. Remaining logical is the only safe way to play the game of politics - and if you do not play it safe, you die. And if you die, then what was the point?
But nothing about their predicament is normal. So, fuck playing the game safely. Fuck that.
The world will not play safe with the lives of those he loves.
***
In which Belizabeth Brassica is looking for a heretic, and Lapin confesses to his apostasy to protect the House of Rocks.

Summary
Nothing about their friendship had ever been either conventional or friendly. In fact, Theobald was being terribly optimistic by calling it a friendship. (Rivalry felt more appropriate, but that felt like admitting there was even a sliver of a chance that Lapin could best him.)
The long history of Theobald Gumbar and Lapin Cadbury, and why they hate each other.

Summary
"What news, Sir Toby?" Every eye in the room is on him now. There aren't many awake tonight, just a handful of other members of the knights of North Gumbia and a few TartGuard. But this is news for King Amethar's ears alone, so he simply shakes his head.
"Diplomatic work," he says, careful to balance his tone. Make it sound boring, but not so boring as to be a lie. Technically the squirming bundle in his arms' presence in Castle Candy is diplomacy, of a kind. "Tarthur Cheddar's head is up his own ass about trade routes, as per usual."

Summary
Death keeps coming, and coming, and coming. That's the life of a pirate - a heretic leader, a rebel against both church and state. Half the continent has heard of her under one name or another, and anyone with a weapon on land or on sea is all too eager to try and kill her with as much brutal efficacy as possible.
After a little while, Saccharina doesn't really mind.
***
(Or: Death keeps finding Saccharina Frostwhip. She comes back every time - a little different, but no less determined.)

But, if she could, she would gladly die from joy.
How wonderful it is, to be made of magic. How wonderful it is, that it will never go away.

Summary
Absently, Ruby is aware of Saccharina moving almost cautiously towards her—the way one might approach a wild animal. Ruby doesn’t even have it in her to send all of her anger and hate Saccharina’s way right now. She doesn’t know how to even begin to explain what she is feeling in this moment, other than the fact that she is dealing with an absence so loud that she doesn’t think she can even speak. Saccharina must intuit this, somehow.
(In the small part of her brain that isn’t overwhelmed by loss, Ruby considers that Saccharina, a girl that grew up alone, without a castle or her family, might actually know a thing or two about loss).
