    Summary

    They were camped outside Port Legann when Kel, bored, decided to use some of her bounty of griffin feathers. Raoul found her working behind their tents so the wind would blow away the smell of the glue she used.

    "This is good," he said with approval, inspecting a finished arrow. "If you give up this mad knighthood thing, you'll do well as a fletcher."

    Kel grinned at his joke. "Some of these are for you, sir," she pointed out.

    (Squire, pg 288)

    --

    Years after Kel passes her ordeal, Raoul uses the last of her gift to him in his hour of need.

    Summary

    Hornet woke in the Black Egg Temple to the sight of her sibling's fractured mask. For the walk from the temple's central chamber to its exit, she thought herself truly alone in the world once more.

    When Hollow followed her out, she realized that wasn't so. But now she has to try and take care of her older sibling as they recuperate and learn to live in a world where they do not have to be pure, figure out what to do about what Little Ghost left of a body, and try to piece together two kingdoms which fell long ago.

    Life keeps throwing her surprises, too, which does not help.

    (Post-Dream No More ending, though it's fudged and mixed with the Godseeker endings some. Characters and tags will be updated as more chapters are posted.)

    Summary

    People don't really touch Jonathan Sims unless they want to hurt him. That's mostly fine. Jon has never been a tactile person, and he doesn't need anyone but himself.

    Except the world is falling down around him, and loneliness aches, and sometimes he'll take anything - even cruelty - just to feel human again.

    *A story set between s1 and s4, looking at Jon's relationship with touch, friendship, and his own humanity.

    Summary

    And yes, Gertrude was aware that the Romeo and Juliet comparisons could write themselves. Two households, both alike in dignity, if one ignored the fact that the Cult of the Lightless Flame was a joke and the Magnus Institute had at least procured nonprofit funding.
