    Summary

    Right there, in the clearing, was the woman.
    She was surrounded by Nevrons, all murmuring at the sight of her presence. And as they approach, she turns around--
    The woman had a striking resemblance to Maelle.

    "My, My...They were right. You do have my eyes."
    The woman cradled Maelle's face as if it were the most precious thing in the world.
    In that moment, Maelle found herself wanting to stay there. In the warmth of this stranger who gazed at her with cold eyes, yet was filled with so much love.

    Summary

    Four years after Gustave persuaded her to leave the Canvas for a while and give her life and family on the outside a chance, Alicia Dessendre has become a renowned yet reclusive novelist whose stories of adventure in a faraway land have captivated readers all across Paris. When a young journalist arrives at the manor one day to interview her for a local newspaper, what was intended to be a single meeting becomes much more then either of them ever expected. And what begins as a creative partnership grows over time into a close friendship that will eventually blossom into a tender romance as Alicia slowly begins to work through her grief and guilt, learns to accept herself as she is, takes back her life one piece at a time, and finds the courage to mend her broken wings and fly.

    Summary

    Clervie divides her life into two. She is too young for having a divided life. Most people would laugh at her about it. But if they would simply give her a chance to explain, they would understand.

    They would weep with understanding.

    For Clervie there is life before The Dream. And there is life after The Dream. The Dream is its own thing, its own being, deserving of capitalizations and pronouns and all.

    And it was only one singular dream that bifurcated Clervie’s life so cleanly. That was all it took.

    Before The Dream there were fields and flowers, there was Mother’s lips against her hair and Mother’s fingers tickling her under the chin as she was called a little egg. Before The Dream was Clervie with her little sickle cutting grass and the beautiful room of mirrors and windows where Mother taught Clervie to dance with steel.

    And then, The Dream.

    Summary

    She’s always watched them from the edges, aching in silence, yearning. Was she a fool to believe she deserved the Hunter’s affection? Alma didn’t know. Maybe she didn’t care.

    Summary

    “That’s Lune,” Sophie whispered. “You two would make a lovely couple… Or maybe something already happened…”

    Gustave didn’t respond.
    He would have been lying if he claimed the thought had never crossed his mind. Even Maelle, with her too-perceptive teenage intuition, had already teased him about it. And now, Sophie was joining in.

    But every time that idea began to take shape in his mind, a shadow would sweep it away. A shadow bearing Sophie’s name.

    Why this obsessive loyalty to a story that had ended?
    Perhaps because a part of him had never truly turned the page.

    And now, it was too late.
    In a few hours, Sophie would be nothing but a memory. They would leave for Expedition 33.
    And both of them would likely be dead within the year.

    Maybe that was his greatest regret.

    What If : in the heart of the expedition, buried feelings could change the course of everything?

    Summary

    “I’m gonna kill her, Varl. I’m serious. I just got this new plasma bow I’ve been meaning to try out, and Beta would be perfect for target practice. How fast do you think she can run?”

    “Aloy.”

    “Yeah, you’re right. Probably not very fast.”

    ——————————————————————————————

    That thing of when you’re the clone of a long-dead scientist on a mission to save the world, and then you meet another clone of the same long-dead scientist who’s somehow even more traumatized than you are, and she’s, like, a real pain in the ass, but also you love each other.

    Summary

    When an unexpected light appears after the ceremony in the Sacred Grounds, Zelda has a momentary flash of hope that she's awakened her powers somehow—but she's disappointed and startled when it forms into the shape of a man and a child before disappearing.

    The man immediately stands between them and the little girl, and Zelda is startled to see how familiar he is.

    He looks just like her newly appointed knight. Almost, but not quite: He’s older than he should be, for starters.

    Summary

    Between the cataclysm and today, Inazuma has lived. Inazuma has resurrected and transformed. The Shogun herself didn't realize it. How could she, when she herself was frozen in time? But I know. Because I've never lived as much as I did in those 500 years. But there is too much to tell. And I would like to reserve this story for Her Excellency alone.

    Sequel of “The last Hakushin”. Can be read as a stand alone.

    Summary

    Freminet holds his vision close to his chest, shoulders slumped, eyes cast downward. “You have a daughter.” How could a man like this care for a child? “I wasn’t aware.”

    The Doctor turns his back to him and strides over to his desk, riffling through papers. “For a long time, I tried to ignore it. But she must be dying now, and this— this disturbance is getting in the way of my work.” He shakes his head.

    “Touching.”

    “Don’t get used to it. I don’t care much for children.”

     

    Freminet is sent to find Il Dottore's runaway daughter, distorted as that word may be. He usually completes missions with mechanical precision, so what could go wrong now? Everything, apparently.

    Summary

    "Leave a loud Oseram with a brooding Tenakth. What could go wrong?"

    That's it. That's the plot.

    * in which Kotallo accidentally joins Erend's band *

    - fun sized chapters
    - updates (most) Saturdays

    It's wild how much the way we view ourselves, and how we think others view us, can affect who we become in complex ways. I didn't know at first that that's what this story is really about, but I think that it is!
