    Summary

    The kid in front of Haskell’s desk was hell to look at— a plague orphan, he could tell that much. His face and neck were still marred with the slightly reddish pits that the pox left behind, even months later, and he was gaunt with sickness and malnutrition, bones jutting hard and nasty. They’d have pinned him down as a weakling, before the plague. But that was before. Now, in the miserable, scraping afterwards, not only was he alive, but half the gambling halls and gangs on the Lid were desperate to have him— or so Seeger said, anyway. Haskell didn’t know why this kid wanted to be in the Dregs, when the Razorgulls were practically throwing cash at him, but he wasn’t going to count his chickens. Maybe he preferred crows to gulls.

    (the rise of dirtyhands, as witnessed by per haskell)

    Summary

    What happens if the School for Good and Evil’s handbook is left unattended? Well, there’s a possibility that a certain pair of students from Foxwood’s Arbed house might fill in the application forms as a joke and get much more than they bargained for.

    If the School Master happened to read through a couple of these application forms, he’d find that ‘Aric of Foxwood’ reminded him quite a bit of an old friend. Perhaps he’d remember placing this friend in the wrong school, or that his friend died scared and alone at a bay of wish fish, leaving behind a reminder of his curse in a wave of gold. Maybe, just maybe, this child would do well in the School for Good, even if his success was just acting to survive. It would only be an experiment, for old times’ sake.

    ‘Japeth of Foxwood’ however, would attend the School for Evil and find that both he and his friend avoided what could have been an extremely awkward family reunion. They have the same goal as the two readers that just arrived at the school: find a way back home.

    *YES I AM AWARE THAT THE SCHOOL HANDBOOK PROBABLY DIDN’T EXIST AT THIS TIME BUT THIS IS AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE AND I CAN DO WHAT I WANT*

    Summary

    These fragile scars we carry with us, they etch themselves onto our minds, our hearts, our skin.

    No one said what they were all thinking.

    Her true love had done this to her.


    Following the altercation in the tower, Agatha is left to ponder the gravity of her situation. Someone she loves is hurting her - the question is, who?
