“Jester’s here. The wedding is off. I had a dress and this huge prank planned for Fjord, and now nobody will see either one!”
The Sending blasts through the ordered calm of Caleb’s thoughts. Veth. Her shrill delivery is flippant. The message itself is a fluffernutter: an unmitigated bombshell.

Summary
Outside of the tower, a young man was sold
A promise of a new life, one where he would never be cold
Outside of the tower, a young man fled
Powerless and broken, the young man had bledHigh up in the tower, a young man lay,
Wishing he could escape, to live yet another day
But High up in the tower, the doors did soon close
For the young man's tale was to be full of woes.Falling out the tower, did a young man lay
Thankful of the time he could get away.
Underneath the tower, the young man died
Wishing of a life to not be terrified.OR
The life and death, life and death, and life of a tiefling who just wanted to feel safe. And the man who ended up relearning about them in all three lifetimes

Summary
"You gonna kill me, Caleb?" Beau asked, aiming for idle curiosity and landing near enough to the right tone. "I thought you wanted to do better than that."
"That part of me is gone," he answered, solemn and honest. But there was a glint in his eye, the kind that he got when he was trying not to smile. If they weren't caked in blood, Beau thought the hairs on the back of her neck might stand on end. "Let's see what's replaced it, ja?"

Ikithon has trained his scourgers well. Beauregard learns firsthand what Bren can do.

Summary
It’s a sense of irony, Caleb thinks in a wild corner of his brain incapable of handling the guilt, that Molly has never demanded a secret from any of them. He has demanded some sense of companionship and teamwork, but he does not demand their truths. And now they are demanding his. Caleb sees Molly’s face flash with something wounded, and some part of his heart, small and usually so hidden – breaks.

Summary
Bren wakes up in a dank Cell in Vergesson, the fading touch of his cell-mate on his temple and a scream of grief and denial on his lips. He seeks to flee this place of nightmares, to right the wrongs he had done, to erase the monstrosity he had committed. It’s a pipe dream, a fevered wish, but it's all he has left. On his way out, he kills a man who is more of a monster than he ever was, and steals something as important as his returning humanity- a Fairy.
Fairies are beings said to be of pure Arcana, full of potential. Their wings shed a powder used to enhance a spell beyond the caster's ability. The creatures themselves are used as an Arcane Focus to negate use of material components and enhance spells focused through them.
They are beautiful creatures, surprisingly humanoid, elf-like, and considered as intelligent as the average house-pet. Bren had seen these before, had worked with them in the past.
So why, the longer he spends time with this Fairy, does he feel like this was another matter in which he'd been lied to? Why does he feel that this Fairy is- more, much more than it seems?Usually updates weekly, Saturday/Sunday but no guarantees. Hectic Schedule.

Summary
He could almost smell the ozone in the air around him as his palms itched and crackled with a held potential. He could do it he thought, he would do it, if it meant that Nott might be happy, after all she had done for him he could do this for her if only to see her smile once more. It might break him, would break him, of that he was sure, but it would be worth it if it only meant she could be herself as she was always meant to be.
What was a little more broken to a man who hadn’t yet pulled all the pieces of himself back together again? One more nail in the coffin of someone already doomed would be worth it for the life he might be able to give.
