    Summary

    She wants to move forward, and she can't go back, and maybe her white-knuckled grip on the steering wheel will make her feel more in control. No, it won't. She's spinning out regardless. That is, until a steady hand covers her own.

     

    Thelma.

    Summary

    Unsettled, Lila shuffles closer to her mom. Mom isn't really talking to anyone else right now either, instead standing still and removed from the rest of the cluster now that they've mostly finished eating, watching. She hides her face into the fur behind Mom's shoulder and presses in, trying to make the pressure push back all of the anxiety crawling under her skin like little mites. Mom stays still under the weight of Lila shoving against her, readjusts only enough to curl around her a little more, and Lila feels it when Mom turns to scent carefully at the top of Lila's head.

    "Lila," Mom says, soft against her ear. "You alright, sweetie?"

    Summary

    In his head, Jon keeps a list of all the things he likes about Daisy’s safehouse. Sometimes, the list is all that’s keeping him sane. Every time something happens that threatens to drive him up the wall, he pulls out his little mental list, and goes through it item by item, and suddenly the bad things don’t seem very bad at all.

    There’s the scenery, for one. There’s the old-fashioned design of the cottage, sometimes annoying but mostly just charming.

    And then, of course, there’s Martin.

    Jon and Martin get settled in Scotland, and settle into their relationship in the process.

    Summary

    There are nights when Sean wakes up if Marion so much as rolls over in his sleep. Hell, there are nights when Sean would be awake long before Marion starts mumbling half phrases and nonsense words, before his fingers start twitching or his feet kick restlessly under the covers. But there are also nights like this one, when all his hyper-vigilance leaves him exhausted, when his face is worn out from smiling, (because he’s fine, honest, everything is fine) when the blankets are warm and the rain on the roof is as good as a lullaby. So when he feels Marion get out of bed, Sean just rolls over and falls back into the darkness behind his eyes. Not everything is a crisis. Marion is probably just taking a piss or making a cup of tea and when Sean opens his eyes again, it’ll be morning and Marion will be back in bed, all tucked in and safe under the covers.

    When Sean opens his eyes again, the bedroom is still dark and Marion’s side of the bed is as cold as trench mud.

    Summary

    The migraines started in middle school. The first one left her vomiting in the school nurse's office with her jacket covering her eyes to block out the fluorescent lighting. At first, Fig didn't understand the look on her mother's face whenever she would need to come pick her up early from school or when she begged to stay home for the day. It only made sense after the first tips of her horns poked through her skin. After that, the migraines were the least of Fig's problems. It's hard for her to forget, though, on days when she wakes up feeling like she's been hit over the head with Gorgug's axe.

    Summary

    Marion gasps awake, disoriented and dizzy as he half falls out of bed, the bleed flower mark on his chest pulsing like a heartbeat. Part of him dimly notes that he fell asleep with his shoes on, that the apartment is still dark, no hint of light against the curtains. Then he’s stumbling toward the door, grabbing his old army pack on the way, settling the familiar weight on his shoulders because— you always make sure your gear is ready to go you never know when you have to move— and then he’s out the door, pounding down the stairs and out into the night, the hum of electrical wires loud overhead.

    It would take the better part of an hour to fetch Jean and bring her back here, might take even longer for Marion to find anyone else. It’s a twenty minute leisurely stroll to reach Sean’s apartment, he doesn’t know how fast he can get there in a run. With every footfall, every breath, every heartbeat, a question echoes. Was it just a nightmare or a premonition?

    Summary

    "You ever been kissed, Hunch?"
    Hunch Curio chokes on smoke, coughing on it until he almost sees stars. "Sorry, what?" he rasps, reaching forward to put his cigarette out in the ashtray resting on the bar.
    Dan Fucks, leaning with his elbows against that same bar, grins. "I asked if you've ever been kissed."
    ~~
    Dan keeps asking the same question. Hunch keeps having the same answer.

    Summary

    Basrar swirls his hands in front of him, and with a burst of magic an ice cream sundae appears on the table.

    “Fantastic,” Ayda says. “The creation of something from nothing. A truly splendid use of conjuration. I would deeply enjoy discussing the differences between the conjuration magic of djinn and the conjuration magic of wizards, but I won’t have this conversation now, because it wouldn't be as enjoyable as eating ice cream with Fig. On this date. We’re on a date. It's our first date, I’m very excited about it.”

    “She’s my succubus,” Fig says. “Can we get spoons?”

    Summary

    It is difficult to find peers on a dirty pirate island, and even more so when you are hard to be around - which the few people Ayda has ‘been around’, excepting Garthy of course, all seem to agree independently that she is.
    Which is why it is so remarkable and exciting to her that, in spite of this, Adaine Abernant, the elven oracle and great wizard of this age, has decided, through a mutually extended verbal contract, to be her friend. Ayda finds herself quite suddenly surrounded by more people than she ever thought possible, by their choosing. They called for her to come in their hour of need to teleport and help save Adaine. This, she is sure, must hold some significance. It is Fig, eyes boring into hers, that asks for her assistance. Ayda notes how bright they seem before she quickly looks away.

    Summary

    It was four years after the Ravening War ended before Princess Sapphria set out to the Dairy Islands to find Catherine Ghee. The other agents she’d sent had come up empty-handed, but she refused to give up.

    It was another year of periods of searching interrupted by time at home before she finally located her. After twenty minutes of looking at a gravestone, and a long conversation with an old priest, she left.

    And finally, it was two more months before she walked into a small nunnery hidden away in one of the most remote islands and asked to see one Saccharina Ghee.

    ------

    In an alternate universe where the Ravening War turned out differently for the Rocks family, Saccharina is discovered and brought to Candia long before Gustavo Uvano is killed and Calorum is plunged into conflict once again. But this story is just about how a young girl used to nothing but bad things manages to find the love, family and acceptance she has always wanted. For good this time.

    Summary

    Ayda awoke in darkness, unable to move and with a rising fear in her chest, though she couldn’t figure why. She desperately glanced around the room, and found that she was back in the room filled with restrained celestials. She tried to shout for help, but found her mouth gagged with vines. Of course. No verbal or somatic components. No spell casting. The Nightmare King was rotten to the core, but he was clever. Ayda had to give him that.

    And then she heard the voice of her paramour, and all rational thought faded.

    Summary

    Fig opened her mouth to speak but Ayda got there first. “Did I do something wrong? Should I not have said that?” She was prepared to leave if she had to. There was a worry starting to wrap itself around her shoulders that said she shouldn’t want this. That she shouldn’t want Fig to reach out and take her hand. That she shouldn’t want Fig to keep looking at her, even if she couldn’t look back.

    That she shouldn’t want Fig to kiss her.
