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
“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
While trying to S rank the Mephiles fight, Shadow inadvertently gives the guy one too many chances to simply not play the same game by the same rules anymore.
Free to restore himself to the timeline, the dark half of Solaris finds…the world well and truly has forgotten he ever existed and doesn't care, his continued existence is ever-unstable without the help of a human scientist, Soleanna is a tourist trap, Shadow is never going to bother to learn his name, Silver is a little too easy to manipulate still, rent’s not free, the Iblis-sized whole inside- well, next to- his soul is forever hollow, and while it's easy to convince a blank slate of a world you're the hero, the list of cons to maintaining that hustle is actually really annoying.
Oh, and he's not even the biggest fish (godlike being) in this pond (Earth and space and time and the whole of existence, are you kidding him) anymore.

Summary
Politics were new to them.
He was staring again.
Watching. Judging. Evaluating. Determining worth. Deciding if they were weak enough to find a crack in, to claw and cut and rip open.
They, too, stared, once. Staring was all they could do. They looked into a world they could not touch, and they knew. They knew the smallest of the Mantis Lords dreamed of the sun. They knew the eyes which judged them now would have voluntarily took in fire.
(He was one who wished, willingly, in passing fancies and growing obsession, to call the light into himself.
Who could want such?They had they had they had)

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
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?)

They say that Fate is a wound, and we can only hope to scar. They say there is no new growth without cutting-back.
