    Summary

    “So we got an anonymous report, about some family in the 16ème. You never know, with those, it’s either someone’s ex-spouse wasting our time or the worst shit you ever saw.”

    Emma pours herself a glass and immediately takes a swig. Her face looks hollow in the dimming light of March.

    “It was the second one,” she continues, pressing hard fingers onto the bridge of her nose. “I get to this huge fucking manor, and this lady opens the door, looking down on me like I’m dirt on the bottom of her shoe, right? Refusing to let me in, telling me nothing in there is my business, the works. You know it’s bad when they won’t let you in.”

    In which Emma is a social worker, Gustave is a teacher and Alicia learns to live.

    Summary

    Beneath the sour light of a yellowed moon, a twin set of half-elves creep, ever onwards together toward a future long in planning. A goliath and a gnome—a most curious pair—fight side by side. There is a bard never far, another gnome, who plays a jaunty tune upon his lute and does what he does second best: entertain. His predominant talent will come to play later in the night, a private performance. A tall half-elf, wide-eyed and flame-haired, watches in fascination as his music calls forth images, a splash of light and swirling colours. She has dirt beneath her nails and a crown of flowers set upon her head. And sat in the cold and the wet of her prison cell, a white-haired girl plots her escape.

    (or, what if cassandra escaped the briarwoods and percy hadn't)
