    Summary

    The Resistance goes to war. So does every person who refuses to accept Porter's attack on the world at large, and his desperate bid for power. Ankarna already knows they'll win, but that doesn't mean her Champion's family can't use a little extra reassurance, right? She'll walk with them throughout the fight, grant them her favor, her power. She has things she needs to say to all of them, at least.

    The stakes are high. The pressure's on. It's exactly the kind of scenario that the Bad Kids thrive in.

    Porter's in for the fight of his life.

    ...

    Six snapshots of the final battle against Porter Cliffbreaker, through the eyes of the goddess Ankarna.

    Summary

    A series of loosely connected snippets from the summer after junior year. There are explicit mentions of sex but nothing happens on screen. Have I ever before considered smut as juice and non-smut as pulp? No, but the chant wouldn't leave my head when trying to come up with a title.

    Mostly based around Skutgug (the new ship name of Scuttlespring I've embraced) but it’s evolved to be a series of vignettes about all the Bad Kids and the [former] Rat Grinders as well, with big chunks of Adaine/Oisin & Ivy/Aelwyn, and out of nowhere, unrequited(?) Lucy/Kristen.

    Summary

    Gorgug pictures his parents crying at his funeral. The metal flower they would bury him with. Their families, smug eyes and I told you so on their lips. Kristen, a cautionary tale of why those in Helio’s light shouldn't reach for those who aren't.

     

    It's remembering Kristen that always makes him stumble in his melancholy. If he wasn't brought back, he can manage. But if Kristen were trapped in a place where bad things happened to good people and loving fathers turn their backs on their sons and Chosen Ones are random… The thought fills him with adrenaline, staring up at the empty night sky, listening to his friends’ quiet breathing.

     

    Kristen didn't deserve to die. And if that's true, then Gorgug didn't deserve to die either.
