    Summary

    No, seriously, you need to read part one

    While the Valar were figuring out how to read a calendar, Freya did the math. She got to review the homework before taking the test this time, which was nice, but that made the most likely endgame obvious. She knew from the second she offered to do it that reverse fetch-questing an evil ring was going to be rough. She was trying anyway. Because she was very, very stupid.

    She expected to pay a high price for the chance to stay.
    She didn’t expect there to be an extra cost at the end.
    Or for them to both pay it.
    Or to be asked for more.

    Summary

    (The end is never the end. There's too much blood on too many hands and too many unhappy endings. Six years is a long wait for a grieving mother and a damning curse. It's time for more desperate measures. Perhaps resourcing one of the counselors - as she had watched so many do before - will prove benign. Looks like it's time to save the sole survivor.)

    Dylan wakes up in a blind panic, kicking out and falling backward off of the log bench he's sitting on. Maybe it's a bit dramatic, but in his defense, he was just being pinned down in the kitchen, about to get his throat torn out by a goddamn werewolf. Sue him for startling.

    Summary

    When trauma happens, your memory begins to catalogue things in terms of the 'before' and the 'after.'

    Before - The counselors have an ordinary summer at Hackett's Quarry, but there were little things, here and there, that in hindsight seem oddly prophetic.

    After - Nick wakes up on the morning of August 23 and realizes that nothing will ever be the same, not ever again.

    Summary

    Hermione felt the pounding in her ears again. She would see him for the first time since the Great Hall, gaunt and stricken at the Slytherin table with his mother clutching his arm. She hadn't meant to look for him. Not in the corridors, not beneath the white sheets of the fallen, not on the way to the Chamber of Secrets with Ron, but she was a stupid girl.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    fantastic, brain meltingly well written. ate this beast whole while sick in bed and it deserves a better recommendation than possible atm. personal notes to extol this will be written when reader does not feel like tepid death. even if not a dramione fan (a la me), the writing is so good that it sucks you in. will be reading more of this ship just from how well written both characters’ flaws are navigated without minimization or how flaws are the weaknesses of our strengths. soooooooo good.

    Summary

    His eyes turn to her, bright, gleaming blood, and she can't stop herself from gripping her knife a little more tightly.
    "What is 'ma-ka'?" he asks warily.
    "Me," she admits. "What are you?"
    He smiles, though it's more of a pained grimace. It's then she notices the dark, filthy tie-down straps wrapped around his chest, attaching him to the tree. "Soul," he says. "...Usually."
