    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.

    Summary

    Saccharina knows that she doesn't belong at the abbey— that she is destined for something more, something greater than the sisters' abuse and refusal to accept her magic for the gift that it is. What she doesn't know is that her future holds so much more than mere acceptance of her gift, if only she can reach out and take it.

    Summary

    Jet was dead. Jet was dead dead dead

    it was all Ruby could think as she ran, ran as fast as she could, ran away from her other half across Dulcington and towards whatever fresh hell awaited her at Castle Candy.

    She felt as the locket of the sweetest heart grew colder and colder against her chest and finally faded away to just a plain old metal heart, mocking her, taunting her. It was no longer full of the life and vibrance of her other half, reassurance always with her, the sense that she was never alone.

    She was alone and she was running and Jet was dead

    She made it back to Castle Candy to a scene of chaos. Her father, emerging from a crater where he had landed, fallen from the ramparts, a blur of fire as he went, miraculously alive. Cumulous helping him. And there, emerging from a hidden tunnel -

    - Caramalinda, escorted safely out by Theobald.

    --

    Ruby struggles with Caramalinda and love and mothers and family.

    Summary

    There’s a timeline, running parallel to yours. One you cannot quite see, but is visible, in the cracks at the edge of your world, in the flashes of your nightmares and the snarled words of your enemies.

    Summary

    There’s noise and movement below as the crew switches out for the night shift. King Amethar and Manta Ray Jack have an intense, huddled discussion at the stern, by the captain’s cabin. Up on the fo’c’sle deck, Theobald maintains his silent vigil. Everybody else pretends as though it is not obvious who he weeps for. The turrets and pinnacle of Castle Candy grow from distant to invisible over the banks.

    “I’m going to go back someday,” Ruby says, “and it’s going to be exactly the same. All the walls in the same place, the paths exactly the way I used to walk them. And everything will be different.” 

    or: a missing scene aboard the Colby as the royal family processes their loss.

    Summary

    Sir Theobald Gumbar is selected as the champion for Candia, to defend his kingdom's honor in a tournament, and after the passing of the Archmage Lazuli, the kingdom’s most proficient healer is none other than one Chancellor Lapin Cadbury, who hates travel and gore and gratuitous violence. And Theobald. He definitely hates Theobald.

    Or, “I didn’t know where else to go”.

    Or, “Your blood will be on my hands.”

    Or, misjudgment on both sides.

    Summary

    Candia had moved onto a new age, a better, more open one of magic and peace. The remaining royal family of Candia had helped sculpt the new environment of Calorum, assisting the land in healing its wounds.

    Ruby had participated, had helped spread that joy, but she had never moved on, herself.

    On the day that she turns 24, all Ruby can think of is the sister that she lost; her other half. And all she can do is wish that she had been good enough to save her.

    The world, now imbued with more magic than it had been in centuries, hears her.

    The clock rewinds ten years, and Ruby wakes in her bed in Castle Candy, to the bright face of her twin.

    And, this time, she is determined to change everything.

    Ruby has a list and she has the memories of her aunts watching over. She is going to save her family. She is going to save Jet.

    Summary

    It was four years after the Ravening War ended before Princess Sapphria set out to the Dairy Islands to find Catherine Ghee. The other agents she’d sent had come up empty-handed, but she refused to give up.

    It was another year of periods of searching interrupted by time at home before she finally located her. After twenty minutes of looking at a gravestone, and a long conversation with an old priest, she left.

    And finally, it was two more months before she walked into a small nunnery hidden away in one of the most remote islands and asked to see one Saccharina Ghee.

    ------

    In an alternate universe where the Ravening War turned out differently for the Rocks family, Saccharina is discovered and brought to Candia long before Gustavo Uvano is killed and Calorum is plunged into conflict once again. But this story is just about how a young girl used to nothing but bad things manages to find the love, family and acceptance she has always wanted. For good this time.

    Red has always been your color. Not your favorite color, no, but your color.

    So you stay red. You stay with what you know, following routine each day, sinking into simplicity, into stillness, into a life you can expect.

    Until you find black.

      Bookmark Notes:

      Amangaeux ducks her head as the bear reaches down and scoops the two up into his arms like they’re a basket of blueberries. He sets them on his shoulders with practised ease and their laughing pitters away. She looks up to see them begin walking back up the road, where the chocolate rabbit waits in a slim patch of shade not occupied by the crowd.

      ‘Are you going to melt, Lapin?’ one of the girls says with the morbid cheer of a child.

      ‘Indeed.’ Responds the rabbit, Chancellor Lapin Cadbury, in a droning voice. ‘I shall perish on the streets.’

      The girls gasp and the royal guard scolds the rabbit, who looks up at him with such a challenging look of boredom it’s a wonder the guard keeps his cool. They begin bickering as they leave.
