    Summary

    His serpent heads taste the air, but there is only smouldering resin; the flavour of lilies just below, packed in close, suffocating, their petals like a blanket stuffed into his mouth. A garland of them over his eyes, so that he cannot turn, cannot steer his serpents away from the gaze of this god-child, his kin. Cannot see how Miquella glimpses over his shoulder, following the path of ruin that has led them here. How his own words settle in the dark like seeds where they will grow.

    *

    From a shattered kingdom, a young stranger comes before Messmer, smelling of lilies and gold, with a story to tell and a favour to ask.

    Summary

    I don’t really understand what I saw. Something dead, or so it seemed. I watched the scholars open it. Dismantle it. I saw them elbows-deep in it.
    And I think, truth be told, that I should not have witnessed what I did.

    Summary

    She still cannot decide what’s worse: releasing such curiosity into the world, or having to spend the rest of her life in an effort to contain it.

    Summary

    Time was someone that had grown used to handling things on his own and it wasn't something that bothered him much now that he was older. If something needed to be done then he would find a way, that was just how it had always been.

    But what happens when he is suddenly thrown into a new adventure with a group of younger heroes and they refuse to let him do things on his own anymore?

    ( Or, this is the author's hand at trying to write a linked universe Fic where Time is the last to join and it be about the chain taking care of Time. )

    Summary

    Its mouth forms a small 'o', a soft noise escaping it. "Oh. We kidnapped you?"

     

    For several moments, he is at a loss for words. He almost wants to laugh. Such a situation seems utterly beyond the pale. Some figment of a bizarre, fever-induced dream, distant from any known or lived reality. But the fog of his mind and leaden state of his limbs feel far too real to be constrained to any hypnagogic fantasies.

     

    When his snakes gaze upon the blurry lines of this mongrel's face, there is not an iota of shame to be found. It is as though the severity of their words has entirely failed to occur to them.

     

    "Kidnapped." He echoes.

     

    It blinks. "Uh. Yeah."

     

    Of all the humiliating possibilities—this?

     

    OR

    An unwise Tarnished attempts to force Messmer the Impaler to assist in opening the gate of divinity, only to end up stranded alongside their companion and a very angry demigod.

    (Or: the worst roadtrip known to man.)
