    Summary

    As they danced, they saw each other in overlapping paintings. Like a canvas that lived, a new painting layered on top of old, and yet, one could still see the old brushstrokes layered beneath.

    When Lune looked at Sciel, she didn’t just see her wife with smile lines. She saw the grieving girl she shared comfort with at the Crooked Tower. She saw the expeditioner who fought and bled beside her just for a chance to live another day. She saw the friend who told her it was going to be okay when they had just lost one of their friends.

    When Sciel looked at Lune, she didn’t just see her wife with gray hair. She saw the lonely girl at the Crooked Tower burdened with her parents’ loss and mission. She saw the expeditioner that pulled everyone forward again and again as she continued to believe in the mission when they couldn’t. She saw the friend who reconnected with her as they gazed at the stars.

    All these brushstrokes, even the old, especially the imperfect, were what made them ethereal in each other's eyes.

    ---

    In which by the end of Act II, they defeat the Paintress and not only do they get to live longer, they finally get to grow old with each other.

    Summary

    Princess Emma of Lumiere is expected to marry for the sake of her kingdom, strengthening alliances with powerful neighboring courts. But her brother, King Gustave, wishes happiness in marriage for her. Instead of arranging her husband-to-be, he allows Emma to design a series of trials so she may choose her own partner from among the visiting princes and delegates.

    Yet as nobles compete for her hand, it is not a prince who captures Emma’s heart, but a jester. Someone entirely outside the role she is meant to accept.

    As the trials unfold, Emma must decide whether to follow duty as the kingdom expects, or risk everything to choose love on her own terms.

    Summary

    Sciel had seen it happen in slow motion.

    Someone yelled the researcher’s name.

    Lune raised an arm for a parry that never landed, and was too slow to attempt to dodge.

    The hit pierced her side sharp and clean, the impact sent her backwards, too weak and in pain to attempt to focus on levitating, she slipped from the rocks…

    And down into the furious waves below…
