    Summary

    This story will be very Ayla-centric, as you can probably determine from the title, and starts just after the death curse has been carried out by Goov, but it quickly departs from canon. It began as an idea I had about Ayla accepting and even embracing her psychic abilities, instead of being frightened of the spirit world.

    I’m thankful for the wonderful EC-world Jean Auel created that I’ve enjoyed for many years. All praise to her.

    I will add characters to the listing as they appear in the story and try to maintain a regular posting schedule for subsequent chapters.

    Hang on - this will be a long one! Thanks in advance for reading.

    Summary

    At times, it seemed like all they did was no more than a single raindrop of hope in an ocean of despair and chaos, but together all those raindrops had evidently helped.  Copley had captured it all, the last one hundred and fifty years of their lives condensed down into a few dozen photos and newspaper clippings.  It seemed so small, and yet, all encompassing at the same time.  

    Kind of like how a declaration of love in a van during an abduction had condensed down all nine hundred and twenty years of an epic romance into a few hundred words.  It seemed an impossible feat, but then, his Yusuf was just the kind of guy to pull it off.

    Or, the stories behind the speech in the van.

    Summary

    He woke again, frozen and in pain, his neck crunching horribly, but his legs still worked, almost. The camp was abandoned. He scrabbled through the grass for supplies, coming upon a tarnished combat knife. Sebastien took it and cut down a fellow deserter to steal his clothes. Russia was a fucking nightmare. Six layers of clothes would not be enough, but he would make do with doubling a regular uniform.
    Why wasn't he dead?

    He had a sick thought as he stared at the knife, and impulsively slashed his hand open. He shouted in pain, but after a few seconds, the wound began to knit back together, and once he cleaned his hand in the snow, there was no sign of the injury at all. He felt his neck. The strangulation bruises were gone.

    What.

    West and south. He had to go west and south. Home. To Camille and the children. He shoved his hands inside his coat, looked at the sun, and began walking. The tears froze to his face as the wind picked up.

    A look at Sebastien le Livre's life from his first death in Russia to finally joining the Old Guard for good.
