    Summary

    She'd heard the phrase on and off throughout her youth. "Time heals everything".

    During these travels, however, she'd witnessed the opposite more than once. Steel grew brittle. Flowers wilted. Bitterness and suspicion lurked in the back of the mind. She could feel it spreading under her own skin; a newfound fear, awareness of the evil and darkness in a world she thought she knew. Time doesn't always heal. Sometimes... it rots.

    Maybe that's why, as he allowed his carefully constructed walls to lower, she decided time wouldn't have the chance. Not as long as she was around.

    Summary

    Deep in the ruins of Eiselcross, when it's clear that the Mighty Nein aren't going to survive the battle they're in, Caduceus and Jester both cast Word of Recall. Jester's version of the spell is supposed to take her to her childhood bedroom in Nicodranas, the site of the very first shrine to the Traveler that ever existed.

    Instead, Jester wakes up alongside Caleb in the freezing darkness of another Aeorian ruin: badly injured, exhausted, and with an emptiness in her head where the Traveler's magic used to be.

    Summary

    Caleb’s eyes shifted back and forth in deep thought, remembering every painful moment of his death. He remembered Jester screaming. He remembered Jester trying to heal him. He remembered losing his hearing as his brain was shutting down. He remembered touching her face to get her attention. He said something. He said...something. What did he say?

    ----
    Caleb's death hits him hard, hard enough to unknowingly confess his love to Jester in a language she doesn't know

    Summary

    “I need you to pretend to date me.”

    It takes a solid five seconds for her to register what he’s just asked. Her reaction goes from stunned to laughing until she studies his expression closely. “You’re serious?”

    “Yes, I’m serious.”

    Her hand moves forward to phase through whatever internal organ is closest before hitting a force field. She reels her hand back and rubs it. “Bob!”

    “I didn’t know he was going to ask you that!” Bob protests, peering from around the corner at John.

    ---

    It's been a year since the divorce, and Olivia still hasn't moved on, at least that's what John has been told. She's gone into hiding, blaming herself for his stupid decisions. Unacceptable. The only option? Create a new fake relationship, blow it up in a spectacular fashion, and make Olivia feel better about herself. His target for this endeavor? The New Avenger that hates him the most.
