    Summary

    March stares.

    The mermaid stares back.

    "Um," she says, laughing nervously, "hang on a moment. I'll just -" She does the one thing she always knows how to do when she gets into trouble: pull out her phone and call Dan Heng. He picks up within three rings. Before he can even get a word in, she takes a deep breath, looks to the grey skies, and says: "I'm invoking the 'no judgement' clause of our friendship."

    The ensuing shout of "What did you do?!" is enough for even the mermaid to jump.

    Or:

    Stelle is a mermaid. Somehow this changes very little.

    Summary

    She doesn’t want to miss it. March’s joy. Dan Heng’s gaze. The feeling of being here, even if her body is falling apart one unsaid word at a time.
    Later that night, she leans over the sink, hand over her mouth.

    Starlight spills from her lips—glimmering fragments, sharp as regret. They hit porcelain like falling wishes.

    She doesn’t cry.
    She never does.

    OR: The Stellaron demands a price.

    Summary

    A record of the slow but inevitable assertion of gravity, or: moments captured on the silver rail, as an endearingly weird golden-eyed amnesiac convinces his judicious guard-slash-archivist trailblaze companion that he may in fact be for real.

    Caelus blinks at him in surprise.  "Since when have you paid attention to that kind of stuff?"

    "I have always paid attention," Dan Heng says, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.  "But I have only recently come to realize that observation without action has little value, when action is what is required."

    That sounds more profound than it should, out of Dan Heng's mouth.  "Am I really coming off that pathetic?"

    "Would you not do the same for me?"  Which isn't a no, actually.
