    Summary

    (For all that he knew dadima kept her feelings a secret, Jon is not ignorant to the fact that had she tried even the slightest bit harder and even a moment too soon, he would have pushed her away. He can’t remember if he ever asked her to change. He may have only ever thought it in his head as he willed himself to change, too, and then never did.)

    Summary

    (By that time, he’d come closer to a decision about beautiful words and whether he deserved one. Georgie had found hers in a book, through community and friendship, so why couldn’t he find his the same way? Even if he turned out not to be the other side of her coin, even if he didn’t claim one word — he could still find himself in the story they tell. Bria bi’ fnei atzmah. A created being of its own.

    It’s been a long time since he’s thought about himself this way.)

    Summary

    (And he’d suspected, of course. Hoped for it to be true, hoped he hadn’t just handcrafted it all in his head. Dragging daydreams out of their duets, desperate and delusional and lonely. He just feared it, too. It scared him just as much to want.)

    Summary

    Summary

    Trust is a rare thing in this world. If you have this code, that means someone thought you worthy of it.

Scope’s formal removal for breach of duty is more permanent than you’d think.

    Summary

    This is just the Table of Contents for the Pharos By Right series! I'll regularly update this when I update chapters. Trust me when I say this is actually a necessary document to keep — it's gonna be a LONG boy.

    I'm going to take this one fic at a time, and unblack the chapter titles/summaries as I go! All tags will be on the actual installments themselves. Also, each "♫" links to the suggested listening for each chapter, but you can find all of them on this spotify playlist!
