    Summary

    [SPOILERS FOR A CROWN OF CANDY EPISODE 9.]

    a mother's senses let queen caramelinda know what has happened to her oldest daughter before anyone can really tell her.

    "She is lucky in the fact that she is alone, in a room locked and hidden away, for now, because the moment her eldest daughter dies, Queen Caramelinda feels it in the pit of her stomach and knows, without shadow of a doubt, that something truly terrible has happened. It twists like the knife that she doesn’t yet know was plunged into her daughter’s stomach, a sharp, burning, focused pain that ebbs and flows outwards in a hollow reverberation."

    Summary

    "He thinks of embracing Lapin on their wedding day. He thinks of holding him and stroking his ears as he dozed in their bed. He thinks of how often, before their divorce, that they were together and holding each other. He thinks of Lapin’s body, in the church, alone, and that breaks him."

     

    What if Theo and Lapin were once married? How would Theo have reacted after the Cathedral fight?

    Summary

    "The Bulb cares for no one."

    Sir Theobald Gumbar could have run from the Cathedral, could have watched Chancellor Lapin Cadbury be killed by Sir Keradin Deeproot in front of the Pontifex, could have let his ex-husband die with the last word. That would have been the easiest thing to do.

    Sir Theobald Gumbar had never taken the easy way out.

    Or, a retelling of A Crown of Candy, if Lapin Cadbury hadn't died. Starting during the end of Chaos in the Cathedral.

    Summary

    And you see the Sugar Plum Fairy says: "I can take you to a pure place. I can take you where I took all the hungry spirits that were sweet and syrupy. I can take you down a road that goes to a land of only candy, where all of our magic lives forever and ever and ever -- and all the people that you miss will be there waiting for you."

    Summary

    It starts with quiet good mornings and stilted how are yous, awkward invitations to brunch in the gardens and hesitant offers for yet another tour around the castle. They orbit each other so carefully, mindful not to start another war and desperate to find the kind of peace that they both desperately crave.

    Ruby and Saccharina in Castle Candy, trying to figure out how to be sisters.

    Summary

    Ruby understood her family's relief. It had been a spectacular run through the city. There was a world where she was exhilarated, where she understood the value of her life and her place in it, where she could go into the ship’s hold and lie down grateful, exhausted, anything. But in all of those worlds, Ruby had someone next to her to share it all with.

    In this world, she was numb. There was something unimaginably dark hovering around the edges of her vision and she kept it at bay by shaking off her father’s arms, climbing up to the mast so she wouldn’t have to face comfort or quiet or her own dreams. In some of his more vulnerable moments, Amethar had confessed that it was sometimes tempting to escape into them. In dreams, he’d told her, he often saw his sisters. But then he had to wake up and realize they were gone, and Ruby wasn’t sure she could survive that. Not again.

    So she stared into the eternal darkness of the sky, and she felt herself wishing, even beyond hope as she was: Bring her back. Give me more time. I know you can.

    (ruby rocks is stuck in a time loop, reliving the worst day of her life over and over again. but hey, at least she's there with her sister, right?)

    Summary

    In Comida, the Bulb’s light always shined. To almost anyone, that would have been an upside to living in the capital. Ruby could only ever think of the shadows cast by the ever-present glow. She found herself staring behind her, expecting to see a long, flowing braid coming from her shadow. Of course it was never there, but it ached every time she had to remind herself that Jet was well and truly gone.

    Or, Ruby tries to navigate the world without her twin beside her.
