    Summary

    The way world-famous Fontanian celebrity Navia Caspar acts on camera is nothing like how she acts away from it. As her newly hired bodyguard and long-time confidant, Clorinde would know.

    Summary

    They don’t say anything to each other. They don’t have to. The clock ticks in the corner and helps Navia calm the rapid pounding in her chest. Clorinde’s fingertips running up and down her arm and the way Navia can close her eyes and listen to her heartbeat is all that she needs. All that they need.

    All she ever wanted was for Clorinde to feel safe. To feel loved and wanted and worth it, like Clorinde had always done for her.

    There is no Navia without Clorinde. No Clorinde without Navia.

    Or, from beginning to end, how Clorinde falls in the bloom of their youth, the way Navia follows suit in the aftermath, and how they continue to intertwine.

    Summary

    There are worse ways to heal. Ways that don’t involve a beautiful estate in the Fontaine countryside and perfectly aged bottles of wine at the ready and a garden full of fickle herbs to fret over. Ways that don’t involve a surprise guest, one Lisa Minci, tumbling into her life like a tidal wave. Jean wouldn’t have it any other way, really.

    Summary

    “Can you come as my plus one?”

    Clorinde was, understandably, stunned into silence. Navia braced herself for the logical negative.

    It was kind of a no-brainer. She was asking her to willingly go to a hostile environment, to a house full of people that blamed her for Calla’s death. It felt like asking her to don a meat suit and jump into shark-infested waters.

    A no would be expected. It would be normal.

    or,

    Navia’s cousin asks her to pretend to still be dating Clorinde for the sake of their dying grandma, whose dementia makes her forget what happened between them

    Summary

    The first time Himeko meets Kafka, she waltzes onto the Astral Express with a story on her lips and not even the slightest desire for a drink.

    "I have a story for you, darling."

    The striking stranger walks right up to the bar, leaning against the solid wood countertop with a dangerous smile on her face and exhaustion in her eyes.

    This is not how it's supposed to go.

    or, Himeko's a barista on a train that takes the dead to their final destinations. Kafka somehow manages to come and go as she pleases.

    Summary

    Jean has been concerned about Klee for the past few months. She's a little firecracker... in the literal sense. When Jean can't figure out where these little embers are sparking from and why Klee always seems to be involved, she'll take help from anybody. Even Rosaria.

    Summary

    Lisa didn’t have the best example of motherhood. Of what it should look like and feel like. To be fair, neither did Jean, but it was so obvious that Jean was leagues different from Frederica. For Lisa, she couldn’t help but wonder, to hold a fear, that she was going to be just like her mother, who had walked away so easily from a child she claimed to love.

    The Court was gorgeous, by all accounts. And Lisa knew it was an honor of course. But… the work. So much more work. Work she didn’t even want. She had enjoyed the privacy and leisure of her research before and now, Starmount Court loomed before her, the chains of her sentence, and Gunnhildr Estate the shackles.

    Summary

    Lisa knew exactly what she wanted when she was young. And when she grew older, those wants and desires only cemented themselves, she was always on the right path. Until she looked up from her own stumbling feet and realized that her path had turned into a gnarled semblance of humanity and she had to claw and drag herself from the virtueless monster that her future had become.

    And sometimes, she thinks Jean hasn’t realized that she too, is marching straight toward her own monster, one with gnashing teeth and empty, pitted eyes. One that is dressed in gleaming armor and wields a matching sword.

    Summary

    Caitlyn Kiramman, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-six years in the world with only the Hund sisters to distress or vex her. Or, wait—It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single Kiramman in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of the newly hired groundskeeper.

    *

    Regency-adjacent AU: after the loss of both her father and the family groundskeeper, Caitlyn is summoned to her home estate from the questionable pleasures of town. Rumours abound of the unsavoury sort taken on at the Kiramman estate, and Caitlyn finds herself face-to-face with a woman she has not seen that last decade.

    Formerly titled "this little piggie had a house made of bricks".

    The man nodded. Nodded again. “Here’s half now - ten thousand. The rest when she’s gone.”

    The man laid the envelope at Vi’s free hand. Drank his entire beer. Left quickly.

    Vi looked up, looked through the large plate glass that acted as a window front to the bar, but the man was long gone, disappearing into the neon streets of Zaun. Vi popped the envelope open, found a wad of bills and a 5x7 photograph. The picture was of a woman, staring straight into the camera - dark navy hair, face mostly sharp angles, an intelligent gleam to blue eyes.

    Vi shuddered out a breath, downed the rest of her second beer, and flipped the photo of the woman marked for death over.

    Caitlyn Kiramman.

    Summary

    It wasn’t an earth-shattering kaboom, or an upheaval of her life, or any other dramatic nonsense she’d heard from Jayce and Viktor, from Claggor and Mylo about the searching for and the discovering of love. It wasn’t this moment of lucidity, a thunderstrike of passion and feeling that overcame her senses and pointed her home. If anything, it was understated, quiet, a simple pleasure.

    It was an exhalation.

    Summary

    “Your last solo album is proof enough that Jinx was Powder-Keg’s writer and you were simply the front man; there’s nothing wrong with that. I don’t need you to be a songwriter, I have hundreds of those at my disposal. I need your voice, your stage presence and your star power. Can you do that for me?” 

    Vi was still busy deciding whether or not to be offended when the question was posed, so it took her a moment to answer, “I guess.”
