    Summary

    “I mean it,” she said. “Don’t kill anyone, Astarion. You’ve gotten what you wanted. Seven thousand lives was enough.”

    “I don’t take orders from you anymore. You just said so, yourself.”

    “The moment you kill someone,” Rose replied, “is the moment I'll know that my next task is to stop you.”

    “Darling,” Astarion grinned, “I would sincerely like to see you try.”

    Summary

    Rory never really has known what to do with herself. Having wasted three years of her life on a college education that she always knew she was going to hate, she suddenly makes the decision to take over her late grandfather's farm.

    The valley the farm is in has never been like the rest of the world. There, the sun burns brighter, the water is clearer and the flowers bloom more colourfully than anywhere else. It has always felt like magic. And with Rory constantly feeling one step out of sync with the rest of the world, it could be exactly what she needs to get herself back on track.

    She just hadn't expected an actual wizard to appear at her doorstep, positively seething at the fact that she had not responded to his letter.

    Summary

    He meets her for the first time in the kitchen of her house, her left hand clutching a velveteen teddy bear, her right hand rubbing at her sleepy two-year-old eyes. With her pupils wide from the darkness, she watches him surprisingly expectantly while he silently bursts black from his elbows to the tips of his claws to silence her.

    “Mama said the tooth faery’s a lady.” Her complaint is accompanied by a tilting of her head, not unlike a bird. “You don’t look like a lady. But here’s my tooth.” Lifting her arm she unfurls her fingers to reveal a pearly white thing in the centre of her creased palm. “Where are my cenz?”

    “How many?”

    She squints at him. “You don’t know how much you’re s’posed to pay for tooths?” A pause. He shifts his weight forward, bends his right knee, curls his left claws at just the right angle to disembowel her. “I think it’s like half a cen.”

    -------------------------------------------------------

    Being immortal sounds fantastic until you realise the rest of the world isn't. There's a first time for everything. And, as Greed would discover, a last.
