    Summary

    “Wait. Okay. Let me get this straight.” You set your coffee down; is he actually saying what you think he’s saying? “You want me to sleep with a complete stranger for the next eleven weeks?”

    Or: you need extra funds in college, Albedo needs an extra participant for his sleep study—that he has to participate in last-minute—and sharing a bed with a total stranger is okay, because it's for science and Albedo probably isn't going to murder you. Probably.

    Besides, what could it hurt except everything?

    Summary

    “You could be a gull as well,” Sara had offered, although she could not quite see it. If Yoimiya were to be a bird, she would be something small and clever, living in a flock of brightly-coloured other birds whose plumage was never quite as vibrant as her own.

    But Yoimiya had shaken her head. “I’d want to be a goldfish,” she said. “They’re very cute, and they live such simple, happy lives. People say they only have short memories, but I don’t think that’s it. I just think maybe they’re better at letting things go.”

    Sara had knotted the last rope with a little more force than necessary, feeling a strange weight in the bottom of her chest. “I don’t think I would make a very good goldfish.”

     

    Sara celebrates her birthday beneath a sky full of light.

    Summary

    Yoimiya absolutely loves the kids. She loves playing games with them, loves the way their eyes light up as she tells stories of the world. If she weren’t so dedicated to her craft, she’d spend all her time with them.

    So it is truly with all her love that she admits that her kids are truly horrible at keeping secrets.

    Summary

    During the day Albedo’s life is, for lack of a better word, perfect. He and his Master living with Alice and her family. A boyfriend with bright eyes and a happy smile.
    He could ask for little else.

    But, at night his dreams are full of blood and fire and hands too sharp curling into pure white snow. Except… are they dreams? Albedo doesn’t remember falling asleep, doesn't remember going to bed, he doesn’t –

    What had he just been thinking about?

     

    -

     

    Durin's corruption was like the sweetest of dreams, why shouldn't Albedo's be the same?
