Summary
Karlach and Tav share some memories with each other of their lives in the Modern AU (no significant differences apart from modern trappings – don’t think about it too hard, there is still fantasy and magic, and the arcs are close enough to the same… although apart from a few details this fits their in-world canon too) Tav’s is harsh, her childhood, while stable and from the outside and ‘good’ was one that she struggled through with being non-neurotypical. Karlach’s is sweet, though her family was poor, she still looks back with warmth and fondness on youth. Featuring two major monologues:
Summer Camp – Tav relates to Karlach why she was banned from the only bording-type summer camp she ever went to after a month at age 10. Karlach’s family never could afford as much so she was pretty much on her own for the summer doing whatever, Tav’s family, however… struggled with giving her structure in the season where she was out of school.
Sixth Birthday – Karlach relates to Tav the joy of her six birthday, showing her family’s struggles but the strength of their love for each other, and how Pluck and Caerlach shielded her from fear and worry as a little thing.
