    Summary

    Varian has been a part of the circus since before he could walk, taking after his mother who was the circus's poster child for years. Hugo is their newest addition, and Donella has left Varian up to the task of making sure everything goes smoothly.

    It goes about as well as you would think.

    --

    “Something like that.” Hugo pauses for a second, contemplating. Then, “Did you grow up on a farm?”

    An incredulous laugh bursts out before Varian can stop it. Because yeah, he did. “You’re supposed to be asking questions about your job.”

    “I already know how to do my job.”

    “We’ll see.”

    “You don’t believe me, Blue?”

    “I don’t care,” Varian says. “And my name is Varian.”

    “What do your friends call you?”

    “I doubt you’ll find out.”

    Summary

    His hand skims the familiar divots of a door. He reaches down and feels for the knob. It rattles under his hand, not budging an inch when he tries to turn it. The next door he tries turns up the same result, along with the door after it. Varian lets his hand fall with a sigh.

    Down the hall, the sound of Cassandra’s footsteps comes to a stop. “What are you doing?”

    “We should probably start looking in rooms. Hugo, do you have your picks?”

    No response. Varian slows to a stop, spine stiffening.

    “...Hugo?”

    Again, nothing. Varian turns around, holding the lighter at arm’s length as he searches behind him for any sign of Hugo. As far as he can see, the room behind him is completely empty. Dread crawls into his throat.

    “Cass?” he calls over his shoulder, volume be damned.

    “What happened?”

    “Did–” Varian takes another few steps, moving the lighter so sharply the flame stutters as he searches around the room. “Did you see where Hugo went?”

    Summary

    Varian Gale, son of Dorothy, attends Ever After High to prepare for his destiny as the next Dorothy.
    Hugo Cast, son of the Sorcerer, attends Ever After High to prepare for his destiny as the next Sorcerer's Apprentice.

    As the conflict between the Royals, those who believe everyone should follow their destinies, and the Rebels, who wish to forge their own path in life, continues to escalate, Varian and Hugo find that their biggest challenge will not be their studies, nor the immense pressure to live up to expectations set before them. No, their real test will be whether or not they can survive rooming together all year... the jury is still out on that.

    Summary

    It’s the holiday season, and Varian’s coming back to Corona for the first time in three years. It’s supposed to be a good thing, or so he tells himself. A chance to be with his dad, to reconnect with his childhood friends.

    When he discovers Hugo is also home for the holidays, he doesn’t care. He doesn’t. So what if they were maybe a little bit in love when they were teenagers? So what if Hugo had unapologetically left Varian utterly heartbroken? It’s not like he’s still hung up on him.

    Despite this unforeseen… challenge, Varian is determined to not let Hugo get to him in any way. But when he starts to realize that this isn’t the same boy who’d left him, and that maybe there’s something left between them… well, you know what they say.

    Tis the damn season.
