    Summary

    Ruby moves closer to her twin the further up the mountain they hike. Jet shivers, passing a grin back at Ruby. Telepathy doesn’t exist, however Ruby was pretty sure her and Jet were connected psychically, at least a little. Enough to both regret not wearing warmer clothes at the very least.

    Summary

    Absently, Ruby is aware of Saccharina moving almost cautiously towards her—the way one might approach a wild animal. Ruby doesn’t even have it in her to send all of her anger and hate Saccharina’s way right now. She doesn’t know how to even begin to explain what she is feeling in this moment, other than the fact that she is dealing with an absence so loud that she doesn’t think she can even speak. Saccharina must intuit this, somehow.

    (In the small part of her brain that isn’t overwhelmed by loss, Ruby considers that Saccharina, a girl that grew up alone, without a castle or her family, might actually know a thing or two about loss).

    Summary

    Lapin blinks slowly at Brassica as she steps up to the bars of his cell, the guards splitting around her like so much water over a stone. He inclines his head, trying for regal and probably failing.

    “Heretic.” Her voice grates against his eardrums. “You have awakened.”

    “Zealot. You haven’t killed me.” Lapin replies, dry.

    Summary

    Happy Mermay!

    Two years ago I was clicking around in the mermay collection, which has a tab to see all the fandoms that are in it, and had the passing thought, "hey it'd be funny to try and get a mermay fic for every letter of the alphabet" and then, since I was also writing fic for the 911 fandom that year, I went "well, it has to be alphanumeric now" and thus spawned one of the most absurd silly little challenges I have ever set myself. This series is the result.

    The fics bear no kind of crossover or connection to each other. Feel free to click around to any of them that interest you! (Beware of unfamiliar canons, spoilers abound)

    Summary

    It is becoming easier, almost, to adjust to the new way of life. He has switched to using his left hand to cast the spell, and the effects are creeping further and further up his left arm with each passing day, even if they vanish by the next morning.

    But that is an understandable price to pay. A reasonable price, if it keeps everyone else safe. It doesn’t matter, really, if he has started to find more and more lacerations from stray waves of shadow each morning as he lies in his untouched bed. It doesn’t matter that the pupils of his eyes, when he gazes into the reflective glass of the captain’s desk, are starting to disappear entirely. Nor that he will sometimes start at the faint feeling of fingers threading around his neck, tracing the line of his cheek.

    “Praesidio. Praesidio, fortier defendebant, defendebant splendide...”

    The Rocks family is safe. Any price is worth that.

    ***

    Lapin Cadbury returns to the living during a storm at sea. The Sugar Plum Fairy has her own twisted web of manipulation to spin, with him at the very center.

    Summary

    Anger is burning in Lapin’s chest. It is bitter, and it is bloody, and it shines brighter than any Bulb the church might care to invent.

    Normally, he leaves his emotions be. He cannot afford to let feelings drive him forwards. Remaining logical is the only safe way to play the game of politics - and if you do not play it safe, you die. And if you die, then what was the point?

    But nothing about their predicament is normal. So, fuck playing the game safely. Fuck that.

    The world will not play safe with the lives of those he loves.

    ***

    In which Belizabeth Brassica is looking for a heretic, and Lapin confesses to his apostasy to protect the House of Rocks.

    Summary

    There's a whole tidal wave of emotions threatening to pull Saccharina out to sea to drown. She swallows them all down, forces a shaky smile onto her face. "It's nice to meet you as well," she says politely. "I would say I've heard much about you, but I fear that might be an exaggeration."

    "Ruby doesn't talk about me much, I would imagine," Jet nods sagely. "Has she at least told you about my ideas? You gotta ask her about my ideas, I had so many of them!"

    Saccharina thinks about the last time she had tried to ask Ruby about something Jet related, and the anger that had flashed across Ruby's face. Nowadays, Ruby is better at swallowing that anger down and being kind instead, but she's not nearly as good as hiding it as she might think she is and Saccharina knows, she knows their relationship is nowhere near the levels she once dreamed it to be. "I will try," she says quietly. "Your twin is very hard to approach sometimes."

    ~~

    or: saccharina speaks to the dead in a dream and then confronts death in the waking world. ruby refuses to let another sister die by poison.

    Summary

    It was four years after the Ravening War ended before Princess Sapphria set out to the Dairy Islands to find Catherine Ghee. The other agents she’d sent had come up empty-handed, but she refused to give up.

    It was another year of periods of searching interrupted by time at home before she finally located her. After twenty minutes of looking at a gravestone, and a long conversation with an old priest, she left.

    And finally, it was two more months before she walked into a small nunnery hidden away in one of the most remote islands and asked to see one Saccharina Ghee.

    ------

    In an alternate universe where the Ravening War turned out differently for the Rocks family, Saccharina is discovered and brought to Candia long before Gustavo Uvano is killed and Calorum is plunged into conflict once again. But this story is just about how a young girl used to nothing but bad things manages to find the love, family and acceptance she has always wanted. For good this time.

    Summary

    It starts with quiet good mornings and stilted how are yous, awkward invitations to brunch in the gardens and hesitant offers for yet another tour around the castle. They orbit each other so carefully, mindful not to start another war and desperate to find the kind of peace that they both desperately crave.

    Ruby and Saccharina in Castle Candy, trying to figure out how to be sisters.

    Summary

    "Everyone needs to learn a little self-preservation here."

    It had been one of the few things that Lapin had agreed with Theobald on. Why was it then that he had resorted to self-sacrifice?

     

    Keradin never delivered his final blow on the Chancellor, but the royal family could do nothing but run away under the assumption that Lapin had fully fallen. Escaping off to sea made it impossible for Lapin to reunite with his group in his injured state upon fleeing, so truly, what else could they believe?

    Summary

    “Why are you here?”

    Ruby flinched, sitting on the ground inside the standing stones in the woods outside Dulcington. It was exactly as she remembered, gleaming stones standing tall and proud, and a tea cup in the center.

    No damage from the attack to retake Candia. Just a perfect, gleaming sightscape.

    That’s what clued Ruby into the fact that she was dreaming. Why she was dreaming of this place of all places escaped her, but then, dreams rarely made sense anyway. She chose to take things in stride. This was certainly a lot more peaceful than many of her dreams - war had left quite a mark.

    But this?

    ---

    Ruby dreams of what was and what could be.
