    Summary

    Mithrun has an assignment: What may be a new dungeon has opened up near a recently settled orc village a day’s ride south of the castle. Mithrun also has a problem: This assignment comes right before the festival celebrating the two-year anniversary of Melini rising from the ocean and King Laios’s crowning.

    He can’t put off something so potentially hazardous to the country as a new dungeon. But Kabru was so looking forward to celebrating their own two-year anniversary during the festival. Maybe there’s a souvenir Mithrun can bring back from the dungeon that will make it up to him…

    (Or: Mithrun is absolutely not looking for a bright purple flower with extremely aphrodisiac yellow pollen on this assignment. Not one bit. And if he found it, he wouldn’t bring that home to Kabru. Never.)

    Summary

    Twenty years after the earthquake that buried Kabru’s mother and his entire first grade class with nothing but a rescue rat for company, Kabru is close to finishing his dissertation on the connection between survivor’s guilt and imposter syndrome.

    Five years after the IED that killed his squadmates, left Mithrun deaf in his torn right ear, took his right eye, and saw him honorably discharged from the Canaries, Mithrun is finally convinced by his case manager, Pattadol, to join a research study on survivor’s guilt.

    (Or: A mostly upbeat modern day AU kabumisu meet cute featuring broke sociology grad student Kabru and disabled veteran Mithrun… and Mithrun’s pet rats.)

    Summary

    He wants to try.
    He is boneweary and heavy and it would be much less work to stop forcing himself-- to simply fade away. But instead he clings to the desire to be better and tries to wield it and find a reason to get out of bed. He hasn’t been able to do it yet. But maybe today he can. And maybe, then, tomorrow it will be easier.
