    Summary

    You make the hardest decision in your entire life to abandon all you know. To give up on anything left for you here, to let everyone go, to walk out and never return.

    You chose to break the cycle.

    And you don't know if you'll ever get better, but you'll be damned if you don't at least give it a good try.

    Summary

    When Vi held Powder in her arms for the first time, Mom asked her: "How does it feel to be a big sister?"

    Maybe the answer was in how it felt to stroke her thumb down Powder's cheek, so careful as to not risk hurting her; maybe back somewhere in the moment she laid her head on Mom's growing stomach and heard that first kick and Mom said she was excited to meet her; maybe it was when she was watching Powder get smaller and blurrier as Marcus dragged her out of that alley.

    Vi will never be able to answer. Instead, she's finding answers to a new question: How does it feel to not be one?

    Summary

    Vi feels like a third party observer of herself. She can see her own mangy, unwashed, snarling, disgusting desperation – so stark and violent against the Topsiders' unsullied joy and easy wealth.

    These people in Topside are so beautiful. But survival is so ugly.

    Oh, Vi realizes. I never stopped thinking they’re better than me.

    **

    Vi finally finds her way back home – to her sister, to the Undercity, and to herself.

    Summary

    Instead, Powder asks: "what if I was a monster?"

    It catches her off-guard enough that she opens her eyes. Powder is staring right into them, her own eyes big and blue and scared and full of tears. Vi brushes a lock of hair off her forehead. "You're not. You're my little sister."

    "But what if I turned into one?"

    "I wouldn't let it happen."

    Summary

    “It hurts me to call you that name.” Vi couldn’t look her sister in the eyes. “Is there anything else I can call you?”

    “I’m not Powder anymore,” Jinx said quietly. Angrily. Frustrated.

    Vi stared at her lap. “Calling you Jinx is like how you guys used to call me Violent.”

    //

    Vi doesn’t want to call her Jinx. Jinx doesn’t want to be called Powder. They've both shed old names.

    Summary

    A request from tumblr for trans!Bernadetta/Sylvain (thank you!)
    --
    Sylvain was engrossed in the papers in his hands the way Ashe or Felix as a child might’ve been, staying up late with a burning candle precariously propped up to shed light on the pages. What he was reading was unfinished and handwritten with proofread marks and scribbles in the margins, yet it still touched him and made his heart pound.

    Even more so, knowing the author.

    A girl coming to terms with growing up in a world not too different from his own. A girl fighting inner demons and real ones, a girl stumbling through life without real parents to guide her, a girl understanding what it means to be a girl, a girl who, well… was outright harmed by family sometimes. That was a feeling he knew. It was a raw thing to write. It was unfiltered and genuine against a dramatic backdrop of knights and magic. The plot was exciting, yet the emotional substance of the story was what caught his attention, what drove him to take out paper of his own and tell her how he felt…
