    Summary

    Isabeau, freshly recovered from burnout after rushing through graduate school, stumbles across an ad for a lab position at the research institute where his idol, Dr. Odile Yamamoto, conducts her work. Willing to risk another bout of burnout to potentially work with the Dr. Yamamoto, he applies for the position and gets the job. However, in the process of applying, it quickly becomes clear that something sinister is happening at this institute. He decides to go forward and accept the offer—only to find himself in way over his head in a conspiracy far bigger than himself.

    (Or: Modern AU/Sci-fi. Isabeau goes back into the world of science after swearing it off only to end up in the Vaugarde equivalent of Area 51 and finds Siffrin, a shapeshifter of unknown origins, trapped deep underground in a padded cell. Unfortunately, he falls in love. Is their romance doomed? Could Siffrin ever escape? What is Siffrin, anyway? And, importantly—how does Odile factor into all of this?)

    Summary

    Their hand safely cradled between two of hers, out flat in the paper sign, Mirabelle thinks of the injured crows she used to practise on. Bent wings in her hands, frail and snappable and so so reliant on her.

    It’s pointless. Damage this severe can’t be fixed. If it can, it will never ever be Mirabelle who does it.

    Summary

    You’ll never know this, but your Wishes were always oddly casual in comparison to those of your peers. Your relatively quiet disposition lent itself well to listening to the Universe, which was more than willing to guide you in turn. It was second nature to trust the Universe—it leads, and you’ll follow.

    Or: Siffrin's relationship with Wish Craft throughout their life.

    Summary

    There's an island north of Vaugarde. You were never able to remember its name. So why now? Why after all this time?

    It's so close. You can see it now.

    You want to go home.
