    Summary

    “Ah, the new captain! Well as I live and breathe!” Vanellope keeps hold of her hand, grin not subsiding at all. “Call me Van, please.”

    Scrapsylvania is a place of half-smiles. There is nothing halved about this: when Van fixes Marya with her full attention, her grin populates her entire face, contorting each of her features with the force of her joy. Her eyes crease so far they almost become invisible, her nose wrinkles, her cheeks dimple. Even her ears shift, her whole countenance transformed by her mirth. When she smiles, Van is radiant with it. Marya wishes, briefly, she could raise her hand and shield herself from this, too.

    Marya's world changes once when she joins the Wind Riders. It changes again when she meets Vanellope Chapman.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of Sirène, Lune takes out her guitar and reassesses her past choices. Sciel helps her make some future ones.

    ##

    "Don't you find it funny? Lune, the moon. Sciel, the sky. There's almost a poetry to it, to the two of us."

    "I don't entirely believe in poetry." The words come out almost too defensively.

    Sciel stops, suddenly, and turns to watch her, still fidgeting idly with the bracelets lining her arm. "A musician who doesn't believe in poetry?"

    "There are obvious metaphors worth rescinding, I think. You are bright and loving and warm, and I have always been cold. It's a tale told a thousand times."
