    Summary

    They're right. The psychic one is right, somehow. Those are the words she would use, the order she would say them in. They're right and Mirabelle doesn't like it.

    The animal part of her screams.

    "How-"

    "-do I know all of this?" Again, again, the smile in their voice is blindingly bright. The fortune teller laughs, and it's sharp. "Like I said, Housemaiden, I know far more about you than just your name!"

    -

    Years before any such thoughts of Curses and Kings, Mirabelle gets (very kindly) peer pressured into consulting a carnival psychic.

    (aka, mirabelle gets a relationship reading from a very special fortune teller)

    Summary

    Suddenly, with a severity to her voice: "Do you think I'm stupid, Isabeau?"

    HUHHHH????!??!

    "You have to really think I'm an idiot," Mirabelle continues, voice steady as she talks over the protests falling out of his mouth. "Honestly, you resign from heroics and suddenly there's a new vigilante following me around- Isabeau, do you think I'm THAT stupid????"

    -

    Being a freshly-resigned superhero is hard enough, especially when your whole life has been geared towards becoming a superhero. Of course, Isabeau had to go and make it worse for himself. Now he’s balancing part-time vigilantism, having a full-time nemesis, hiding his identity from his roommates and, most importantly, finding a job. 

    (aka, isabeau tries his best, siffrin tries to kill him poorly sometimes, mirabelle tries to keep everything under control, and the internet does its thing)

    Summary

    "The King first appeared on the horizon like a trick of perspective – strides that stretched so much further than they should have, height only proven possible by the silhouettes of trees he crushed on his way, armor clashing a distant scream. They’d all felt it, in the dimming of the afternoon sun, in the soft wind dying without warning, in the silence of the birds. A sudden chill as all the flames fell to ashes, suffocated by the stagnant air. A premonition, a realization, the stillness in midair before you fall."

    The House of Change falls to the King, and Mirabelle is forced to flee her home.
