    Summary

    [“You want to be…accepted, as a whole – not someone that’s left,” Black Swan quotes, voice melodic and raw. “Acheron, it’s…beautiful.”

    “It’s true.” Acheron doesn’t defend, only verifies, and they’re on the precipice of something greater. The sun sinks lower, molds to the weight of the conversation.

    “I know, but as a soothsayer, I take a lot of words to tell the truth,” Black Swan replies, mouth crooked. She pushes Acheron’s bang away from her forehead. “You? You just…say it. Like it’s nothing. Sometimes I look at you and I swear I know exactly what you’re thinking.”

    “Well, do you know what I’m thinking right now?”

    Black Swan’s eyes dart between her own, line of her mouth softening, becoming something flowers bloom from. Black Swan has her metaphorical heart of a crescent moon, waxing and waning. Acheron’s the opposite, unobstructed and fierce.

    “Yeah,” Black Swan murmurs. “But I’ll let you know my thoughts on it, in my own way. One day.”]

    OR

    In which after their fateful dance, Black Swan takes steps to repair Acheron's mind and serendipitously, her heart too.

    Summary

    Epoch Echelon, a 1926 speakeasy in downtown Chicago, was looking for one, a new pianist; two, a Female pianist; and three, a pianist who (as rumored) wouldn't fall for its star, the (in)famous Lilya.

    Enter Druvis, an immigrant on a quest for a new life in a foreign city first and a footing in music second, who was positive she could fit all their three requirements. (She might just end up wrong about one.)
