    Summary

    "Lance had watched Keith Kogane win a bar fight with a broken hand, rip open a keg with a knife, and complete a whole wretched ensemble of activities you definitely shouldn’t do with a beer in hand.

    And yet here he was, glittery Sharpie in hand, waiting to sign Lucy’s copy of Altea.

    Lance opened his mouth to say something arguably rude and not appropriate for their current audience. Until he remembered that he himself had either watched or participated in these activities and was now holding a four-year-old containing his DNA. So Lance didn’t have much of a leg to stand on either."

     

    When Lance runs into his ex-boyfriend at a children’s book signing, he not only finds out that Keith Kogane ages like fine wine, but he also apparently wrote his daughter’s favorite book. As Keith lingers in town, Lance frantically tries to keep his daughter from realizing that the writer is not only a person from Lance’s past, but a character in her bedtime stories as well.

    Summary

    “Taigen?” Mizu groans, barely opening his eyes. Taigen pretends not to see how his heart jumps at Mizu’s voice. “You–”

    “Shut up, you dumb fool.” There are ashes crumbled under Taigen’s feet. “You’re such an idiot, why, why did you have to go back and kill Abijah?”

    Mizu coughs, but Taigen can almost be mistaken for a laugh. “Look who’s saying. You came back too.”

    Yeah, for you.

    I came back for you.

    Summary

    I set the fire, Mizu had confessed thickly into Taigen's ear, when their mouths were still filled with ash, eyes half-sealed with tears from acrid smoke.

    Did you have a choice? Taigen had asked as a response, hauling them forward another step across a bridge, toward another life.

    Mizu had fallen silent—so silent that Taigen lifted his chin in worry that he had drawn his final breath without Taigen's permission.

    No, the not-samurai had told him then. I did not have a choice.

    And Taigen believed it.

     

    Fool.

    Post season 1 canon divergence.
