    Summary

    They don't bother covering their tracks or moving with any form of stealth. If they could be called any measure of lucky it'd be because the church had not sent men after them, trusting that their... creations were sufficient.

    Some part of Theobald questions if they were sufficient while the other part -the part dressed in gold, with all the laurels of Lord Commander- wrestled with the thought.

    It's just that their pursuers were so small, and actually rather cute.

    Summary

    Jet was dead. Jet was dead dead dead

    it was all Ruby could think as she ran, ran as fast as she could, ran away from her other half across Dulcington and towards whatever fresh hell awaited her at Castle Candy.

    She felt as the locket of the sweetest heart grew colder and colder against her chest and finally faded away to just a plain old metal heart, mocking her, taunting her. It was no longer full of the life and vibrance of her other half, reassurance always with her, the sense that she was never alone.

    She was alone and she was running and Jet was dead

    She made it back to Castle Candy to a scene of chaos. Her father, emerging from a crater where he had landed, fallen from the ramparts, a blur of fire as he went, miraculously alive. Cumulous helping him. And there, emerging from a hidden tunnel -

    - Caramalinda, escorted safely out by Theobald.

    --

    Ruby struggles with Caramalinda and love and mothers and family.

    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?

    (Complies with a majority of the events following episode 6)

    Summary

    If the tomes I have struggled to comprehend are to be believed, you will know this letter is meant for you when— if— it finds you. I intend to burn it in offering to the Sugar-Plum Fairy. She may be gone, but so are you, and so I suppose you may be in the same place. I don’t imagine she will be kind enough to give this to you, but perhaps you will be clever enough to find it.

    Summary

    "He thinks of embracing Lapin on their wedding day. He thinks of holding him and stroking his ears as he dozed in their bed. He thinks of how often, before their divorce, that they were together and holding each other. He thinks of Lapin’s body, in the church, alone, and that breaks him."

    Summary

    Ruby understood her family's relief. It had been a spectacular run through the city. There was a world where she was exhilarated, where she understood the value of her life and her place in it, where she could go into the ship’s hold and lie down grateful, exhausted, anything. But in all of those worlds, Ruby had someone next to her to share it all with.

    In this world, she was numb. There was something unimaginably dark hovering around the edges of her vision and she kept it at bay by shaking off her father’s arms, climbing up to the mast so she wouldn’t have to face comfort or quiet or her own dreams. In some of his more vulnerable moments, Amethar had confessed that it was sometimes tempting to escape into them. In dreams, he’d told her, he often saw his sisters. But then he had to wake up and realize they were gone, and Ruby wasn’t sure she could survive that. Not again.

    So she stared into the eternal darkness of the sky, and she felt herself wishing, even beyond hope as she was: Bring her back. Give me more time. I know you can.

    (ruby rocks is stuck in a time loop, reliving the worst day of her life over and over again. but hey, at least she's there with her sister, right?)

    Summary

    He can’t let her die. He owes her too much. Her and Ruby, the first people to be like siblings to him who didn’t treat him like a punching bag. He owes nothing to his brothers, but Jet and Ruby are his sisters, in all the important ways. They taught him their language. They included him without having to be asked. Liam clutches Jet’s arm harder, demanding the universe to comply.

    There’s another gentle pink glow, and then Jet gasps to life.

    (Or: At the ambush in Safe Harbor, Liam has two levels in paladin, and it makes all the difference.)

    Summary

    There’s noise and movement below as the crew switches out for the night shift. King Amethar and Manta Ray Jack have an intense, huddled discussion at the stern, by the captain’s cabin. Up on the fo’c’sle deck, Theobald maintains his silent vigil. Everybody else pretends as though it is not obvious who he weeps for. The turrets and pinnacle of Castle Candy grow from distant to invisible over the banks.

    “I’m going to go back someday,” Ruby says, “and it’s going to be exactly the same. All the walls in the same place, the paths exactly the way I used to walk them. And everything will be different.” 

    or: a missing scene aboard the Colby as the royal family processes their loss.
