  4. Summary

    In an act of pride and foolishness, Lilith falls right into her old enemy's wicked plans and pays for it by wrecking the life of the one she loved most. Eda, none the wiser, has no idea why she suddenly tires so easily, or why her magic is weakened, or most of all, why she transforms into the strange owl beast, nor does she know how to control it and get her suddenly screwed up life back to normal. All the while, the sisters grow apart.

    I usually don't like writing fics that I know will most likely be superceded by canon explanations, and didn't even plan on this becoming a series, but screw it, here we are.

    Summary

    Andrea pushed open the door with her shoulder, trying not to make a sound as the hinges gave their usual groan. The air in their little space smelled faintly of oil and smoke—leftover from the air outside—and something sweeter, the lavender sprigs Frankie insisted on keeping above the window. She almost smiled at that. Francesca was always insisting on soft touches in a world that wanted to grind softness into dust.

    Frankie was asleep already, curled into the thin blanket, dark hair fanned against the pillow like ink spilled across parchment. She looked so still, so untouched by the day’s chaos. Andrea froze in the doorway for a long moment, just watching. There was always something sacred about seeing Frankie like this, stripped of armor and laughter, breathing steadily as though the world couldn’t touch her.

    Andrea’s chest tightened, and for once it wasn’t only because of the ache she’d been ignoring all day. She pressed the back of her hand to her mouth, muffling the cough that clawed its way up her throat. Her whole body shook with it, a tremor she couldn’t control. When it finally subsided, she pulled her hand away and saw the smear of blue-gray at the edge of her palm.

    Her stomach dropped.

    Summary

    She hadn’t said anything, in fact, since the realization had hit her that she would never again speak to Laudna, never again hear her laugh, see her smile, watch her puppet Pâté, or hear the haunted whispers of her messages. She would never get to tell Laudna that she loved her so much and so deeply, and that hurt most of all.

    Summary

    It wasn’t that Arlo had been disappointed, initially, when Auggie had appeared with a request for a bath.

    Not really. In fact Auggie having the courage and vulnerability to show up at her room and request to bathe there made something inside her chest creak open a little. Much like it had when he’d introduced himself with a nervous loosening of his smudged collar. Or when he’d looked at her with open awe in his eyes when she’d said he’d done well, their first assignment.

    Or when he’d tried, admirably, to step in when she was being unceremoniously removed from the art gallery.

    In fact, if she didn’t recognise exactly what she was feeling, she’d be quite concerned she had an unfortunate heart ailment.

    ---

    A continuation of the last scene, wherein Arlo took Auggie shopping.

    Summary

    Camille Saroyan learned all the rules early on. While other girls focused on the proper application of makeup or the dreamy boyband members in their teeny-bopper magazines, she mastered the discipline of social camouflage. By the time she joined the Jeffersonian, a lifetime of method acting had cemented the mask in so deep that she didn't know if she could ever take it off. However, when a moment of stress fractures Cam's careful persona, one member of the Jeffersonian learns just how much her stoic boss has been keeping under wraps.
