  2. Summary

    I write as a way for my brain to break the Laws of Motion! And here we are...

    Kallum and Alessia Peregrine, twins in New York City! Kal, a cunning chemist-turned-writer, and Sia, a woman who knows a lot of things, who has a plan for her life she’ll see through. They use the name of one of the brightest minds of their time, Dame Anna Hanover, a charming woman who hides far too much behind a cheerful smile, to get their words and names out there. The words draw in Dakkar Cavendish, a brilliant inventor who feels like he’s made promises—but to who, he doesn’t know.

    The editor, Charles, hates his job, and is reluctantly convinced into printing the twins’ words. John Herschel won’t be a pawn, his plan to launch his and his dearest friend’s invention drawing near. Benjamin, the governor, seethes with jealousy, watching the Satellite with growing bitterness.

    And in the distance, a Traveller with far too much behind her waits, refusing to fail anyone else. A young man with a pencil grins far too brightly, as his pencil gleams with ink, ready to take down your words. Only your words, of course.

    What are you waiting for? Don’t be scared of the dark. That’s where the dreaming starts.

    Summary

    She clings tight to those memories, refusing to let them escape. She keeps her mind spinning, like if she stops thinking for even a second, those memories vanish into nothing once more.

    She won't let them go. She can't, not after so long.

    "The Bonadventure—" she gasps out, the words leaving her in a rush. "Cyrus, Mary Katharine!"

    Her friends! Her friends she had forgotten—oh, where are they? Cyrus with his brilliant smile and Captain's airs, Mary with her wit and determination. When last she'd seen them, they had been planning, trying to—

    "Margaret, I'm so sorry!"

    All other thoughts fall away at that familiar cry.

    Oh.

    Margaret looks up.

    Or

    I think about Margaret’s delivery of those lines in Phantom Pain a lot. So I wrote over a thousand words about it.

    Summary

    The first thing Margaret noticed about the Child of the Gates was her smile.

    There was something unique about it. It was a shining light in the dark—when Margaret thought back on that night, on her fiftieth birthday. Before she lost her mother, before the day forever changed for the rest of her night.

    ~~~

    Or, the moments in between canon, where Margaret and Sia fall in love.

    Summary

    “Why have you been avoidin’ King?” the words rush out of Capo's mouth.

    Your mind stops in its tracks at that. “Avoiding-?! I haven’t been avoiding her!” you sputter.

    “Ya weren’t dere at her ascension,” he raises an eyebrow. “Even afta you made all dat ruckus about findin’ her.”

    You did, didn’t you? And in the end, you were a coward. You couldn’t face the end of the world when it mattered most. You couldn’t face King.

    You still can’t.

    =====

    After the ill-fated Rift festival, Razzma struggles to process her feelings on King's ascension -- but with the power of communication, these two best friends can be brought together once again!
