Summary
That’s it, then. You sort of never thought this moment would come, but it did. Vaugarde is saved. The King is defeated. Your journey is over.
Right. Mirabelle will stay here, or maybe go off on a pilgrimage all on her own. Isabeau will go back to Jouvente to pursue his dream. Bonnie back to their sister. And Odile to Ka Bue.
And you…well, you’ll return to traveling, of course. Just like before. That’s fine. It’s what you’ve always done. It won’t be any different than it was before.You’re just glad that this story had a happy ending.
A moment of hesitation and a faint memory leads Siffrin to make a different wish at the Favor Tree. The party of saviors find their final quest goes much more smoothly than they might have anticipated.
This is not a good thing.

Summary
He looks so small, Mirabelle thinks, lying there. Eye closed, hands over his chest like he’s in a casket. Their expression is almost calm. There’s no fear on their face, no hurt, no sorrow. Just quiet acceptance. She hates that look. It’s worse, she decides. Worse than if they looked pained.
“Why?” Mirabelle whispers. She isn’t sure who she’s asking. Siffrin? Herself? A God who won't answer? "Why did you do this? Why now, why like this? Why didn’t I notice?"
Siffrin dies. The loop does not end.

Summary
He loves her, he thinks, in a weird sort of way. Loves her like a bird loves a cage, like a moth loves a candle flame. She is the one reason he’s alive, and so many of the reasons he wishes he weren’t. She hurts him, but never as much as he wants her to, never enough to soothe his pain. She is the only person on this island that he doesn’t hate, and he thinks this is the closest thing to love he can have now.
She has succeeded in molding him, but he doesn’t think she’s happy with the result. He is dried clay and sharp pottery shards all in too many pieces to put back together. It doesn’t stop her from trying.
Odysseus, Calypso, and seven long years.

But I deserve this fate; to die, to bleed by foamespresso

Summary
"You just want it to be over. You want rest. You want to sleep and never wake up. You just... want to die.
For good this time.
You realize you’ve never tried that before. You’ve died plenty of times, sometimes even on purpose, but you’ve never killed yourself and wanted to stay dead.Maybe that’s the secret. Maybe now, it would let you."
OR:
Siffrin is so close to the end. He's already made everyone hate him, scaled the warped House, and beaten the King. All that's left is to talk to the Head Housemaiden, and then it'll all be over! It doesn't matter if the world feels wrong and their head is full of static. It doesn't matter if he has to do it all alone. It doesn't matter that they don't even have a reason to want out of the play anymore.
The end is right there. All they have to do is keep moving forward and ignore the sinking feeling in his gut.Bookmarked by Hazelnuthelper

Summary
You really thought you had a handle on this, is the thing. Weird, persistent headaches are routine just as much as swinging your dagger at Sadnesses had become. That is to say - it happens maybe not all the time but a few times a week and only sometimes for several days straight.
It didn’t bother you, not really.
✧✧✧
Or, Siffrin has chronic migraines. His friends eventually catch onto that fact.

This can only go terribly.

Summary
Tanguish is Tango's hels, and they get along a lot better than most hels and their hermits should. Unfortunately, the universe wasn't made to house both of them. Helsmets were made to return to their hermits eventually, making a complete person.
Except what happens when the hels is the stronger of the two? What happens if they really don't want to be?[This fic started as a handful of one-shots on Tumblr and has slowly snowballed into something bigger. If you notice a writing/tonal shift throughout the course of the fic, especially in the earlier chapters, this is why!]
