    Summary

    In the back of Lance's mind, Allura whispers, “Can you feel it?” with the constancy of the tides. “Waves form and fall apart with your every breath, and your every hope becomes a trickling brook. When you sing, rain falls onto dry earth, and when you cry, a land begins to flood. All the oceans are living with you, Lance, and your eyes are full of stardust.”

    Lance remembers swimming and only coming up for air when he remembered he’s supposed to need to breathe, and decides that limits can no longer hold him.

    “What do I care how old I am?” and his voice breaks before it becomes something that is not quite his own, older than any grand river grinding its way through earth and stone to make deep seated canyons, all in its endless mission to reach the sea.

    The voice is of the Ancients, and it clambers out of his chest like a siren’s song.
    Eyes glow blue, and the alien takes a step back as the once calm ocean begins to rise and thrash.

    “The ocean,” Lance calls, “is old as fuck.”
    (And when he smirks, it is unholy.)
    “It will still drown your ass with vigor.”

    (In which the Paladins are not so much humans as they are ancient primordial beings reborn into physical bodies...)

    Summary

    In the end all Stiles really has left is his dad, a lonely house, the key and deed to the loft, and a chest filled up with emptiness.

    A void, yawning right behind his sternum.

    That and the laughter of a fox trapped right beneath his skin, echoing in the hollows of his skull, whispering behind his teeth.

    Stiles should have known it wasn’t over.

    Magic stains everything it touches after all.
