    Summary

    Because Adaine Abernant was beautiful, incredible, and brilliant. The brightest wizard he has ever had the pleasure of sharing space with, a girl who wields her magic as easily as breathing. Who bloomed from a trembling, nervous wallflower to something powerful and defiant and strong. Steady, and fierce as a roiling storm.

    Oisin kills rats in the school’s backyard.

    He lifts his finger, suddenly more exhausted than he has been in years, and casts a quick message. “Sorry.”

    or

    5 times Oisin apologized to Adaine, and the 1 time she said it back.

    Summary

    A twig snaps somewhere outside of Aelwyn’s field of view. She looks up from her meal with anguish in her eyes and a comfortable fullness in her gut for the first time in days.

    Mother gasps from the edge of the clearing. “Aelwyn, no,” she says, breathy and quiet, as she rushes towards the thing that looks like her daughter.

    -

    Aelwyn Abernant is free at last. She has found a new home and new friends, and reconciled with her sister. She knows that this is meant to be her happily ever after. Unfortunately, she also knows that for her, nothing is ever that easy.

    Summary

    It’s a project, Kalina decides. It’s too unique of a situation to pass up doing nothing about. In all of these past centuries, no one has ever been born with her before. So she’s curious. And the kid is cute. Sue her.

    Riz grows up in Arborly, with an imaginary friend that he eventually realizes isn't imaginary. An imaginary friend would be limited by his own knowledge - but it seems like Kalina knows everything.

    Summary

    Only a week or so after that incident, Adaine asked him if she could borrow some notes of his on something he’d researched before. If they were anywhere, they’d be in his briefcase, but when he reached in to grab them, his hand remained inexplicably empty. He tried again, calling the notes to him. He felt a definite tug, confirming that the folder in question was, in fact, in his briefcase, but before they could be summoned to him, something else tugged back. Hard.
    Adaine was looking at him expectantly.
    “Just having some trouble with my briefcase. Not entirely sure what it could be,” Riz lied. He had a very strong suspicion as to what, or who, might be causing this, but he didn’t particularly feel like bringing up Baron and reigniting that conversation. “I’ll have to go in and take a look. Be back in a second.”

    ***

    There is an evil goblin mannequin living in The Ball's briefcase, and Riz can only ignore them for so long.

    Summary

    “So, you don’t have anything better to do with your time?” Fig asks.

    Riz thinks about the agenda in his briefcase, broken down into fifteen minute increments. He has exactly one and a half hours designated for today’s outing with Fig before he needs to rush home to cook dinner for his mom. After that, he has to shower, do his homework for Survival class, start Kristen’s essay for her Linguistics course, and then pack his bags for school tomorrow. He’ll have time for four, maybe five hours of sleep before he has to get up, make breakfast and coffee, clean his room, and then catch the bus for school tomorrow.

    It’s fine. It’ll be fine. He has plenty of time to get everything done as long as he follows his schedule to a tee.

    “Nope, I’m all good.” Riz takes a deep breath and tries to let it out smoothly.

    -

    or: Five times during his Junior Year that Riz went above and beyond to help another Bad Kid.
