Summary
What if Imogen wasn't blipped away after the Apogee Solstice, what if instead she remained at the Malleus key away from her friends and in the hands of Ludinus, Otohan and her mother.
What if this was the plan all along, for she is the vessel they require, they just needed her alone and under their control.

Summary
He ascends as quickly as his meager athleticism will allow and when he reaches the second floor landing his ears immediately twitch, catching the sound of soft music.
It’s… lovely. And Essek finds himself caught, like a fish on a lure, and drawn in towards the source.
He finds it a couple of yards down from the staircase, tucked away in a lamplit alcove; an upright piano, the top of it crowded with books, and a certain red-headed wizard at the bench, his freckled fingers dancing across the keys.
The wizards—and Beau—watch a meteor shower whilst Ruidus is at its zenith in the hills outside Zadash. Some surprises are had and wishes are made.

Summary
“What…” Ashton gripped the Changebringer coin. “Was it peaceful?”
Chetney froze, eyes going misty and distant, even as they looked at each other. His skin, as wrinkly and pale as it already was, seemed to go paler. Ashton watched Chetney’s throat bob as he swallowed. His gnomish hands twitched in the dirt beneath them.
“Painful,” Chetney answered coldly. “It was painful. Then it was dark.”

“Darling, I just… I don’t want you to delve… for anyone or anything other than you.”
*****
Laudna and Imogen talk delving, and maybe delve into some of their own feelings.

Summary
Orym opens his eyes to a dim, grey void. He takes a deep breath, trying to center himself. It doesn’t help very much, but it’s something to do.
“Quite a hit,” a man says softly. He’s sitting next to Orym, cross-legged, and for some reason Orym isn’t surprised to suddenly see him there. He’s always been there, Orym is just able to see him now. He’s wearing a mask of bone shaped like a bird’s skull and a cloak of black feathers.
“… Yeah,” Orym agrees at the same volume. “I’m dead, right?”
Or: I shove all three of Liam's characters into a room and make them talk about their feelings
