Summary
Quiet moments and assorted Bitter Snow flotsam, written for TTS Gen Week.
Day 1 ❦ Baking cookies to celebrate the capture of a wanted thief is all well and good, but someone still needs to do the dishes, after. [Cassandra & Lance]
Day 2 ❦ Dione lifts her hands in supplication. She wonders what the beast thinks of this; if it thinks. If it has ever been more than the empty wrath festering inside her, torn free and made manifest. Monstrosity becomes her, and it. [Zhan Tiri]
Day 3 ❦ Aphelion, the Dark Kingdom, is a nation shrouded in legends. This is one of them. [In-Universe Folktale]
Day 4 ❦ “You… killed the Great Tree,” Sorchā says slowly. [Zhan Tiri]
Day 5 ❦ She’d known her father was dead. Of course she had. [Lady Caine]

Behind the brittle mask of her commitment, she has always felt the contradiction; devout and doubting, scorched to the root in the ashes of everything she loved. A flowering bitterness. In the absence of her Lady she could imagine comfort; the reality is… harder.

Summary
The halcyon celebrations of the Lost Princess’s return lie dead and forgotten. Her usurper uncle sits upon the throne in the rubble of Corona’s capital city; black rocks have sundered the countryside, and the conspiracies of summertime have flowered and borne the poisoned fruit of civil war. Exhausted by the past six months, and with nothing but an ancient book and a cryptic mentor to guide her way, Rapunzel flees Corona, chasing the black rocks east: to Aphelion, where the moonstone lies yearning for the sun.
Her path has been laid out, and she knows, now, that there is no turning aside.
