    Summary

    Jouvente seemed like a much nicer city when Mirabelle wasn't worrying about the apocalypse.

    ----
    It's been well over a year since the King had been defeated; since Vauguarde had been saved; and since the Saviors themselves decided to continue travelling together. Their last stop before sailing to Ka Bue? Somewhat fittingly, it was the first city that Mirabelle entered on her quest: Jouvente, the birthplace of their resident fighter.

    Not that you could tell from the way he was acting - sure, he had mentioned plenty of the restaurants he was excited to treat them too, or his favorite landmarks he would take them to, but Isabeau had kept conspicuously quiet about the people from his past. If he didn't want to mention meeting up with any friends or family, well, that's his choice to make. Change knows his new family had kept larger secrets.

    But just because Isabeau's more than ready to leave the cities' residents behind doesn't mean that they're finished with him. And some of them are of the opinion that he's long overdue for a family reunion...

    Isabeau’s family reunion!

    Summary

    Scott was the crown prince of the Elven Empire of Rivendell. On the day of his debut, his magic, more potent than any yet in the royal bloodline, had torn out of control. He’d reached for support, tried to escape the eyes, assessment pointed like daggers from all directions. Nothing. He was halted and thrust back, perfection a demand heaped upon young shoulders. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. Anxiety had bubbled over, and the temperature plunged.

    The only people in the room who weren’t frozen solid were his own parents. Despite being the Crown Prince, he'd been dismissed, sent to live in the distant palace on an icy peak, isolated and alone, forced to grow used to the cold and the quiet. Letters, be they begging lines on tearstained parchment or impeccable penmanship and flowery words, were always returned just the same. A monster, uncontrollable, who couldn't even be trusted with his own tongue.

    So maybe he shouldn't be looking forward to the weekly murder attempts by a rather hapless golden-winged avian assassin. But then, he hadn't had someone to talk to in ages, and a gentle touch? He couldn't tell you the last time he'd felt something like that.

    Summary

    Outside our tent, skunks shuffled in the woods
    beneath a star that died a little every day,
    and from a nebula of light diffused
    inside Orion's sword, new stars were born.
    My father's hands became two birds, linked
    by a thumb, they flew one following the other.
    - Hand Shadows, by Mary Cornish

    (The one where Impulse and Skizz are soulmates. This is widely regarded by everyone else as a bad move.)
