    Summary

    "Ah Twilight, you got the brief?"

    "Yes I did. A month, Handler?"

    "Please, compared to some of the work you've done? A month is nothing."

    "In this field, a month is a lifetime."

     

    They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. I wonder if it will ring true for the pretend family that acts far too real? Twilight has to leave for a WISE assignment while Yor and Anya hold down the fort at home. How will they all handle the disruption to their already fragile family structure? It's a tough trial to weather, but perhaps their bond will prove to be lot stronger than they thought.

    Summary

    “Cal has never had the luxury or the security to be anything other than what circumstances forced him to be,” Cere says. Her voice contains a tinge of sorrow, one which Merrin suspects she has failed to recognize in the past. “I don’t think he knows who he is—or who he wants to be—any more than you do, Merrin. He has an idea of who he thinks he should be, one that has guided him for the last decade, but he’s never had a real opportunity to reflect and examine if that’s what he wants for himself.”

    Merrin frowns, feeling chastised. Cal has always been so set in his path; she feels foolish for seeing the wounds of his past and mistaking them for an enviable certainty of purpose.

    As if reading her mind, Greez laughs a little too loud and says, “Don’t beat yourself up about it, Merrin. He’s got himself fooled too.”

    To care for Cal is a privilege.

    Summary

    "I think I want to kiss you," she whispers.

    Loid takes a sharp inhale, mesmerized by her sparkling wine eyes burning a hole in his bottom lip.

    "Is that normal," she breathes, barely audible.

    "That's normal," Loid assures back. It's not. Nothing about this, about them, is normal.

    Yor nods, the tiniest movement of her head, eyes never leaving his lips. "Does it ever go away?" she asks, innocently. Like this could be an illness, a temporary affliction that will pass out of her system.

    Loid exhales slowly. "God I hope not."

    Or, in this alternate universe, Twilight and Thorn Princess meet long before Loid and Yor. Circumstances around them shape their lives in ways they never expected.

    Great portrayals of Yor and Loid—especially their psyche, trauma, and internal conflict. A very open ending, though. Still, a great read ❤️
