Summary
Violet froze as she made eye contact. She knew those eyes. She knew that face, and he knew hers. His hair was shorter than she remembered, and he wore a suit jacket instead of a snow parka, but it was definitely him. He stared back at her, just as surprised to see her as she was him. She knew she looked different, and couldn’t help hoping that he recognized her all the same.

"Let's calm down," Violet said. "Remember the time we watched a scary movie when our parents were out for the evening, and we were jumpy for the rest of the night? Every time we heard a noise we thought vampires were breaking into the house to take us away."
"Maybe somebody was breaking into the house to take us away," Klaus said, and pointed to the photograph. "Sometimes things can go on right in front of your nose, but you don't know about them."

Summary
The Baudelaire siblings were falling, but it was okay. They could fix it. They had to fix it. They had to fix it and save Sunny.
One way or another, this was all going to end. No matter how much Lilac feared she couldn't handle it, how much Violet felt inferior, how much Nick suffered from the trauma he'd endured, how much Klaus threatened to fall apart, how much Solitude and Sunny were growing up in a world that hated them and taught them that they would have to fight to survive... no matter any of that, the siblings were going to stay together.
Even if they had to burn the world to do it.

Summary
"Three shards of pottery, and a deep, thick shroud, are required on occasions such as these. To conceal the eyes, the mouth, the mirror." ⸻
The brightest generation of the V.F.D. were born under decaying stars; the previous generation had made this organization noble, but the secret of that nobility was lost in translation. This generation of young volunteers have always had one foot out the door, but these coming years will make them question whether the organization was ever good to begin with, whether their friends and associates could ever have been trusted, and whether the desperation not to be alone or the desperation to serve "the better good" is greater.
It may also teach them what resides at the bottom of a not-quite ocean, and how that great unknown shaped the organization we known today.
(A complex pre-ASOUE look into V.F.D., some headcanons about events of the time period, and a mess of unhealthy relationships I do not condone or believe should be aspired to. Work is COMPLETE and standalone.)
