  4. Summary

    In an act of pride and foolishness, Lilith falls right into her old enemy's wicked plans and pays for it by wrecking the life of the one she loved most. Eda, none the wiser, has no idea why she suddenly tires so easily, or why her magic is weakened, or most of all, why she transforms into the strange owl beast, nor does she know how to control it and get her suddenly screwed up life back to normal. All the while, the sisters grow apart.

    I usually don't like writing fics that I know will most likely be superceded by canon explanations, and didn't even plan on this becoming a series, but screw it, here we are.

    Summary

    It wasn’t that Arlo had been disappointed, initially, when Auggie had appeared with a request for a bath.

    Not really. In fact Auggie having the courage and vulnerability to show up at her room and request to bathe there made something inside her chest creak open a little. Much like it had when he’d introduced himself with a nervous loosening of his smudged collar. Or when he’d looked at her with open awe in his eyes when she’d said he’d done well, their first assignment.

    Or when he’d tried, admirably, to step in when she was being unceremoniously removed from the art gallery.

    In fact, if she didn’t recognise exactly what she was feeling, she’d be quite concerned she had an unfortunate heart ailment.

    ---

    A continuation of the last scene, wherein Arlo took Auggie shopping.

    Summary

    Camille Saroyan learned all the rules early on. While other girls focused on the proper application of makeup or the dreamy boyband members in their teeny-bopper magazines, she mastered the discipline of social camouflage. By the time she joined the Jeffersonian, a lifetime of method acting had cemented the mask in so deep that she didn't know if she could ever take it off. However, when a moment of stress fractures Cam's careful persona, one member of the Jeffersonian learns just how much her stoic boss has been keeping under wraps.

    Summary

    “Shall we get you to bed?” Laudna asks softly.

    Imogen almost shakes her head but then thinks better of it as she waits out a wave of dizziness. “No,” she mutters regardless, “I’m alright. Better if we…” Fuzzy edges, that ringing, the migraine— “all stick… together.”

    Now Laudna cups her cheek and Imogen’s eyelids droop closed as the temperature soothes her hot skin. “If you’re not feeling well, you shouldn’t push yourself.”

    “S’just… a headache,” Imogen manages. “It’ll pass.”

    (A different take on the reunion, Imogen's recklessness, and Bells Hells' terrible habit of never staying still for more than five seconds. Title from Taylor Swift 2x.)

    Summary

    "There's this thing called personality. There's also liking the same things, having a similar sense of humor, being able to have 5 minute conversations without boring the living hell out of each other."

    "Like you and Tom."

    "Did I mention Tom?"
