    Summary

    But he was tense, looking up towards the skyline—and when Shulk followed his gaze, he felt his jaw slackening at what he saw there.

    The rift, blooming eerily like a stain against the grey sky, hovering above Melia’s childhood home like an omen.

    “Shulk,” said Alvis. His voice was hoarse. “I’ve made a mistake.”


    Alvis, the Fog King, and the will of the world.
    Future Connected, a little to the left.

    Summary

    He is not going to last this cycle. A thousand cycles ago he had to drape himself in an old cloak taken from the ruins of Aidonia to hide the worst of the damage he has done to himself. A hundred cycles ago he shattered Dawnmaker, and has not had the capability to forge it anew.  Fifty cycles ago he picked up a set of armor from the ruins of Castrum Kremnos to hide the state of his face. Forty nine cycles ago he gave up convincing Aglaea and Cerydra and Tribios on who he was under the armor and cloak and fell back to the only plan he had left, the one he knew would always work.

    Last cycle, the Lance of Fury almost tore his body into pieces before he could take the final coreflame.

    And so now he is here, following the young version of himself.  They are close to the end, just before the mission to Styxia and a few months before the final advance on Aquila that heralds the death of light, of hope, of everything. But he is not going to last this cycle.

    Not unless he tells this Phainon, this Khaslana, everything.

    Summary

    The cycles in-between. The first and last, a few somewhere in the middle.

    None of these matter in the end. The importance of them shall always be honored by the Deliverer’s final actions, by the scorching sun of Amphoreus finally, finally, allowing dawn to come.

    Khaslana knows this story much too well. Khaslana, Gazed upon by the Destruction — Khaslana, emergent factor of Hatred, has lived through it a million times.

    (Khaslana, born to hate, yet lovingly staring down at the words on the page, reminiscing, an old card in his hand.

    Born to hate. Raised to love.)

     

    Or, Phainon deals with the destruction of his home, years after it happens.

    Summary

    Emrys and the Once and Future King have been prophesized to become partners in bringing Albion to fruition for hundreds of years. For that to happen, Arthur will have to finally discover and accept Merlin’s magic. But how does a Prince, who has been raised to believe that all magic is evil, overcome his own prejudices to accept a sorcerer as a full partner? That isn’t a moment, it’s a journey.

    Non-slash, this story attempts to follow the flavor and tone of series 1-3 faithfully and begins at the end of series 3.
