    Summary

    For what was probably the millionth time that week, Keyleth wished people would stop tiptoeing around her like she was the last fragile leaf on a snow-covered tree. They murmured condolences, then promptly avoided her like the plague as she sat on the bench staring at the Raven Tree of the Ashari.

    It was the anniversary of the Whispered One’s defeat.

    Which meant it was also the anniversary of Vax’s life getting stolen away by the Matron.

    -----------------

    Keyleth and Verin bond in Zephrah, and also maybe have a heart-to-heart about grieving the deaths of people who aren't really dead.

      Bookmark Notes:

      Keyleth did her best ‘Disapproving Voice of the Tempest’ look and Verin returned it with his own ‘Belligerent Taskhand’ expression

      “Vax is dead, but he’s also alive. He’s gone and never coming back, but he’s also here and I’ve held him. It’s this massive fucking paradox where everyone wants me to both move on and never let go – even him.”

      he is dead. He will not return to you in any meaningful way

    Summary

    A fall from the tree to the glade's ground at this height was already enough to splatter his small body. But he wouldn't hit that ground. Not here, hanging over the edge of a mountain with nothing but nothing and more nothing for miles and miles and -

    His breath stuttered.

    His heart pounded so loud he couldn't hear the wind anymore.

    He tried to shift. His foot scraped uselessly against the trunk, bark biting at his skin.

    And then - the branch snapped.

     

    OR

     

    During Vax’s year in Zephrah, he meets a stubborn halfling boy named Orym, determined to become a hero. The world may not make room for someone so small - but Vax knows what it’s like to be told you're almost something. And what it means to become more.

    Summary

    Polyamory is common in Ashari cultures. Vax would have appreciated learning that little tidbit a bit earlier.

    Or, Keyleth sets things right (with more earnestness than planning), Vax and Percy talk it out the only way they know how (drunk and bullying each other), and everything might turn out okay.

    Summary

    Picking up from the end of C3 E121 in Zephrah. First person from Keyleth's perspective.

    First chapter is a retelling of two scenes from the epilogue portions of the episode, the remaining fic will be a continuation/speculation fic.
    I will be adding more characters and tags as the story continues per my usual pattern.

    I am pre-emptively marking this as explicit rating because I know myself and even if I say I'm not going to write smut, I'm probably going to write smut.

    Summary

    Grief is a hard thing to wrestle with alone.

    Keyleth offers some words of comfort to Orym, and hopes that he'll be able to learn to live with it.

    Five years later, it seems like he has.

    Summary

    When the spell rips itself free from her body and hurls hail and lightning and cold, furious air out into the world, Keyleth listens. The wind screams, louder than a heartbeat. The stars, quiet before the thunder, are devoured. The wind whips fierce claws through Keyleth’s chest. Louder, it whispers. We have to be louder.

     

    (Keyleth, Derrig, Orym, and the wind that welcomes them home)

    Nothing connects Orym more to his culture and his people than pulling summer from dew-coated capsules or smiling in time with a sudden blossom, but after Will's funeral, flowers have a new meaning.

    Summary

    " “I’m not taking her,” Vax snapped, “I won’t be responsible for sending an innocent child back to an abusive home. I can’t.”

    There was a pause, and Vax almost regretted his words. The Raven Queen did not take kindly to being disobeyed.

    "She must live," The Raven Queen repeated. Vax opened his mouth to argue, but his mistress was not finished, "But perhaps you will find a kinder place for her to do so."

    Oh. Vax blinked, looking back at the girl. She still looked scared, but mostly she just looked confused. A little awkward, perhaps. Unbidden, a faint smile formed on his lips. A kinder place to live? Vax knew exactly where to bring her. "

     

    OR

    Vax makes a split second decision to send a 12-year-old Beauregard somewhere safe instead of returning her to her parents. This decision could change everything.

    Summary

    The story of Vax'ildan, no matter how it was told, was always going to be a tragedy.

    -

    Vax is still Her champion. Vox Machina still grieves. But sometimes the divide between the world of the divine and the world Vax was taken from gets thin enough for a single man to slip through.

    Spoilers for C3E51!

    Summary

    And when Laudna looked at her, with those big black beautiful eyes. When Laudna softly said her name, like she deserved the whole world and then more. When Laudna held her hand, hugged her through the night, gently cupped her cheeks and wiped her tears after her red-filled nightmares…

    I wish… I wish she would be mine.

    I wish she loved me in the way I love her.

    Summary

    Orym turns around and thunks his head against the soup pot.

    "That’s terrible," he says, hoping Will can’t see the grin that’s threatening to split his face in half.

    "I'm not wrong," Will says, delight beaming through his voice as a board clatters down on the bench and two strong arms wrap around him from behind. "It’s us, babe!"

    "No, no, absolutely not," says Orym, with as much affected disdain as he can manage when squeezed up against his husband, which is not very much at all. "I am not an onion—"

    On a cool Yulisen evening in autumn, Orym gets home from work, Will has a semi-successful trip to the market, and together, they make soup.
