    Summary

    "First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."

    As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.

    "Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.

    "Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.

    "Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."

    Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.

    "A what?" he asked.

    Summary

    At the celebration feast, Nilou asked Cyno if he would be happy continuing to be the General Mahamatra.

    Cyno said, “It’s not about being happy. There are merely a lot of things that I must do.”

    Alhaitham can’t say for certain why Cyno’s words bothered him. In a way, the sentiment is unsurprising; Cyno is, after all, dutiful to a fault. It makes sense that he puts his work over himself. Even so, Alhaitham wonders what the shape of Cyno’s happiness would be, if he allowed it to take form. If he ever allowed someone like Alhaitham to witness it.

    Which he certainly never would.

    “You liked that,” Johnny says, slouched against the warehouse wall. His voice is somewhere between bemused and impressed. “Fuck me, you little psycho. Didn’t know you had it in you.”

    Summary

    The floor is a crumble of broken black and white. The sky shakes and collapses on itself, multicolored fire burning it down, down, down, falling all around her.

    A small white creature sits in front of her. Its eyes are red. They don’t blink.

    Skyscrapers crash and the world screams along with the girl in the sky- glossy black hair tangled and bloody, clothes torn and singed, skin bruised and spurting red, she falls.
    And falls, and falls.

    Madoka keeps expecting her wings to flash open, to catch herself, to at least slow her mad descent towards the crumbling earth. She doesn’t. That’s when Madoka realizes it.
    She doesn’t have any wings.

    She looks down at the white creature, tears springing to her eyes- heart aching, bleeding, tearing, for this girl- falling all alone.

    “Doesn’t- doesn’t she have anybody? Does no one love her?” Madoka cries, suddenly feeling sick, feeling so horrid and awful and stupid, because there’s something wrong, wrong, wrong- because that girl does have someone, she has-
