    Summary

    Following the events of season 1, Graydon and Elora discover they have a connection that will either save the world or doom them all.

    A heartbeat passes. He inhales deeply, and she can sense his fear, his uncertainty, releasing its grip, a slow uncoiling. She almost startles when his hand reaches out warily, trembling, and brushes a long strand of hair from her face. She keeps herself still, letting him twist her hair loosely around one finger. He pauses there, trapping a copper-red curl in his fist, tethering her. Her eyes fall shut. She imagines she can feel the heat of his skin so close to her cheek. When his hand finally moves away, she barely stops herself from following it.

    “Elora?” he asks, softly, almost as if he’s afraid to know the answer.

    He studies her, and she lets herself look back at him, his sensitive features, his heavy-lidded eyes. She recalls her dream from earlier, and drops a glance at his mouth, and wonders.

    His face falls a little.

    “Oh,” he says. “This is a dream.”

    And she wakes up.

    Summary

    In the far future, the hegemonic benevolence of Union ensures a stable, peaceful post-scarcity society in the "center" of the galaxy around Cradle, the planet once known as Earth. But on the fringes, utopia hasn't yet arrived. There some worlds are still wholly self-governing, some are simply distant from Union's gaze, and many are ruled by the massive corpro-states that operate within but largely above Union's power.

    It's on one of those worlds owned by Smith-Shimano Corpro, Tir Asleen, that Kit Tanthalos is facing down an arranged marriage to Baron Graydon-Hastur of the House of Shadows. Kit and her best friend, Jade, would like nothing more than to be lancers together, pilots of powerful mechanized chassis. But that future seems impossible.

    -or-

    My brain - and mine alone - asked, "What mech would each of the Questies pilot?" and everything has spiraled out of control from there.


    No knowledge of Lancer is required for this fic! ;)

    Summary

    Jade left to meet the family she never knew. Kit stayed, waiting, for her to come back.

    A lot can change in two years, but getting bitten by a radioactive spider, wasn't exactly on her bingo card. Managing university, crime fighting and a reunion with the love of her life? All in a day's work for Tir Asleen's friendly neighbourhood wallcrawler.
