Summary
He shouldn't get this chance. He shouldn't be happy. He shouldn't get anything. It pissed Jax off so bad.
-
No one is owed forgiveness. Jax doesn't think some people deserve any.
If only it was more clear that this solely referred to Caine.
Or: How a slideshow serves to be the boiling point. -

Summary
I have plung’d like a deer thro’ the arches
Of the hoary primordial grove,
Where the oaks feel the presence that marches
And stalks on where no spirit dares rove; - Nemesis
By H. P. LovecraftThere’s a small tree, growing senselessly out of the metal floor, the shattered glass of Simon’s pendant scattered around.
AKA an inevitable outcome.

Summary
“How it must hurt, to be so unwanted.”
“Careful,” Getaway mumbled into Tarn’s hand. “You might stumble onto some self awareness at this rate. Don’t cut yourself with all that projection.”
-
In which Sunder is not the only blatant mass murderer hidden on the Lost Light during Getaway's captaincy, and Getaway plays games he's pretty sure he's the one making all the rules for. Or- the author decided to trap them in a room to see who walks out. If you take away the obvious method, which of them will talk the other to death first? I’ll give you a hint: it still won’t be Getaway. -

Summary
The Grand Mother was truly gracious. Yet how could she not be? What was a Mother, with no children?
-
Nature refused her motherhood. For so long, she was alone. The world’s soul itself insisted she should stay alone. Gods must be. Any like them would want her worship, as she demanded theirs. Higher beings were rare and widespread; they did not have families, they had enemies.
Her daughters were beautiful.
Her daughters caged her, to be alone again.
-
Things would be different this time.
They must. -

Summary
These are all based off of the universe of It’s Burned In My Mind. That fic functions as a stand-alone and does not need these bonus stories to be read. These bonus stories, however, very much run under the assumption the base fic was read.

Summary
The cryo chamber opened. The pseudo-Dipper dropped to its knees as it thawed, shuddering from the cold.
"Careful." Ford knelt next to the shapeshifter and tentatively touched its shoulder. "Are you alright?"
"I'm..." Its voice was rough and guttural; it feigned clearing its throat and said, "I'm—fine now. Thanks for letting me out, man. I guess I must've fallen in and got stuck." It was trying to sound like Dipper. Someone a kindly human rescuer wouldn't think twice about helping get outside.
"You can drop the act," Ford said, then forced himself to soften his voice; he was giving the shapeshifter permission, not a command. "I know you're Shifty."
Shifty jerked its head up. It gave Ford a nervous smile. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Ford sighed. "You insist you're a normal teenage human boy?" he asked. At Shifty's emphatic nod, he said, "Well, that's unfortunate, because I came down here to set a shapeshifter free."
(Ford, the shapeshifter, and a long-overdue apology.)

Summary
“Caine?” Pomni asked again. The orb drifted up and down in a nod. “How do I know it’s you? Why do you look so…” Small, weird, different. She’d been anticipating seeing a Caine clawing at the walls, or crying, or yelling. How ever she imagined finding Caine, he looked like, well, Caine. Not this.
oOo
The plan was simple: undelete Caine, get the Circus back up and running, and place some restrictions so Caine couldn't mess with them.
Unfortunately, Caine and the Circus are a little more complicated than meets the eye.

When Míriel is finally healed, the Valar allow her to return to life - on one condition: She must ensure that no issues arise from her and Indis' mutual marriages to Finwë. A problem many of the Eldar would consider impossible, but Míriel does not plan to leave her son behind again.

Summary
Love, Elwing means, is not synonymous with forgiveness.
Love, Maeglin means, hurts every day, every time, in different ways.
(You didn’t really think Elwing spent all that time in a high and sorrowful sea tower alone, estranged from her people and left family-less because of her family, did you?)
