    Summary

    Through cutting off distractions and engraving skin with chroma, she bled more than she cried for herself. She stayed focused on the mission while everyone else got to live their own lives. She continued when everyone else had fallen. She did it not because she wanted to but because no one else would. She picked up a weapon when she could have picked the guitar.

    She learned to be strong because there was no other option. She learned to be useful before she learned to choose for herself.

    And this is where that got her. The culmination of all of her efforts. “We succeeded where every other expedition has failed. I could never be prouder of us than I am now.”

    “And it is something to be proud of,” Sciel agrees.

    No one asked what it cost her, least of all, Lune herself.

    She smiles, but it doesn’t quite reach her eyes. “But what about after?”

    ---

    In which by the end of Act II, they defeat the Paintress and it's a happy ending. But how does one become happy after everything one has been through and sacrificed? Lune finds the answer in Sciel and a bottle of wine.

    Summary

    Second chances are rare in Minrathous. Everything they left on the table in the past, everything they let go unsaid even when staring down the end of the word...

    Well, it's still mostly unsaid. It's easier to do.

    [Or: Neve, Rana, and the little rituals that tide them over while they work up to I love you.]

    Summary

    “You sure this isn't too distracting?”

    Sciel's dusky murmur draped like a satin robe over Lune's shoulders.

    “Certain,” she replied flimsily. She lied through her teeth, of course.

    Or: Sciel once again finds herself tasked with breaking Lune's steadfast focus on recording in her expedition log. Inspired by a fanart by @teethymai

    Summary

    “This isn’t how you ask a girl to dance,” Neve chides softly.

    Rook laughs and hopes it sounds natural. “Of course! Forgive me. Miss Gallus, would you do me the honor of letting me step on your feet in your own apartment?”

    ---------

    Neve and Rook get a moment after their kiss on the docks.

    Summary

    Spoilers for the end of Act 1!

    --

    Lune and Sciel had set up camp. She was surprised Lune hadn’t objected to letting Esquie comfort Maelle - trusting a relative stranger, even one of legend, with something so precious was unlike her - but every time Maelle had looked at either of them she’d tried to apologise and started crying again, so when the living embodiment of a hug had lumbered over to her they didn’t stop him.

    Sciel had watched until Maelle tired herself out anyway. That was one of her girls settled down. The other promised to be a greater challenge.

    --

    A rewrite of the campfire scene at the start of Act 2. Because Lune and Sciel should've kissed about it. Now with a chapter 2 because they also should've fucked about it.

    Summary

    Her family duties, Clea shoulders with a stiff upper lip, but she has always believed that a person should find a little fun in life, no matter their circumstances. If she must be kept away from the purpose burning through her stomach, and if she cannot even enjoy her usual distractions, then she might as well let this place entertain her.

    In Monolith year 40, a chance encounter gets Clea much more - and less - than anticipated.

    Summary

    It was almost comforting, now, watching Sciel watch the sky with an almost peaceful reverence. Lune sits beside her, not quite lying down, if only to watch her face for a moment longer. "What do you tell them, anyway? The stars."

    She's expecting anything, from the Nevrons to the Gestrals to the admittedly beautiful plains of the Continent, or the appearance of their new straggler, or…or Gustave, or even Maelle. Maybe even—

    "Tonight, I'm telling them about you."

    —Well, not that.

    "You're…telling the stars about me?" she says, just a bit too loud, too surprised.

    "Maybe a little," Sciel opens her eyes for a moment to glance at her, with a small smile. "Why? Would you prefer I didn't?"

    Summary

    There will always be hope for Dock Town, as long as people like them are looking out for it. The Shadows, Rook and the gang, Elek’s new friends, eyes on the streets like Hal… yes, herself…

    And Rana.

    Neve gets to thinking that, maybe, she could keep a little of Dock Town’s new hope for herself.

    Summary

    This was the first time in weeks they’d been alone, and a familiar ache crept into Neve’s heart. The urge to word vomit every question she wanted to ask raged to the surface. How are you? Have you been taking care of yourself? Are you as torn up about this as I am? Do you miss me?


    Neve pushes Rook away, but does she honestly expect her to stand idly by?

    Summary

    Everyday life was riddled with distraction, really. Jobs were rarely as straightforward as they seemed - even on this scale, the gods themselves were hurling Blight, dragons, darkspawn - every possible diversion across her path. Even Rook, with her contagious sidelong smirk and a mouth smart enough to rival her own, continued to prove her right.

    No - that wasn’t fair. Whittling her down to nothing more than a distraction left a bad taste in her mouth. But the alternative? That left far, far too many unanswered questions.

    -=-

    Rook and Neve take a trip to Neve’s Dock Town apartment to comb through some old case notes. Naturally, things don’t go to plan.

    Summary

    At any other point in her life, the arms wrapped up and around her would have felt like vises, not tethers. Like the anchors that drag a ship under when its hull has been pierced, not the anchors that keep it safe in harbor.

    It’s not particularly new, by now. But it’s not particularly common, either, and so she finds it hard to find her bearings.

    Summary

    Rook is uncharacteristically unyielding when it comes to her name.

    She has a quip for everything — including multiple that have already made their new necromancer recruit visibly cringe and, on one occasion, mutter a solemn “Oh, Rook, this is serious!” — but when asked, she replies merely, “Just Rook.”

    And she does so every time. “It’s just Rook.”

    As a friend, Neve doesn’t care. She meets people with stranger secrets a few times a week in Minrathous, and it’s really none of her business.

    As a detective, she’s a little curious. If life were less apocalyptic, this side of her might win, but the gods take precedence now. The mystery fades as their journey continues: once a burning question, soon a forgotten factor.

    Neve takes a lot of notes. Some of them are about Rook.

    Scenes & snippets of Neve learning, writing, and falling.
