Summary
And - listen, he’s the one writing the book, okay? Alan is well goddamn aware that everything he sees is heat wave mirage or flat fabrication. Zane might be one of the only exceptions, but Alan put a bullet in his head the last time he saw him, so no luck there. Barry is at best a trick, at worst a lie. But Alan’s got a tuning fork ringing high and loud in his skull, some revelation peeling away at the layers of the world he’s walking through, heavy with a terror that feels like drowning and a vague inability to recognize where he is that usually predicates worse down the road. And the apartment, and the video.
So he walks into the bar.

Summary
All she has done, since he got off that train, was open door after door after door, tiny openings in conversation for him to step through and speak truthfully to her at last, places for him to admit - something, anything, she doesn’t even care what, and all he has done, since he got off that train, is slam every door in her face. She loves him, she’s dead fucking angry, she has an early morning taking a new acolyte up into the mountains tomorrow, she’s so sick of this stupid conversation, she wants things to be simple again, throwing fries at the side of his head while leaning over the couch in the office, Nick pretending not to notice, Pearl acting scandalized and scolding her while she laughs. But she’s 23 and nothing really seems simple anymore, or maybe it never was.
So she says the cruelest thing she can think of: “You’re reminding me of Mia, you know.”
Or, the Wrights visit Kurain. Maya learns poker.

Summary
The issue being, with anger, that it burns out. When the knock at her door finally comes, hours later, Franziska is sitting quietly at her kitchen counter, shoulders hunched, gripping her elbows with her arms crossed in front of her. She’s kicking one foot against the cabinet below her, lightly. She’s done everything she can, already, she’s slammed the doors and thrown her bag into the front closet, hard, and kicked her shoes off, and stood under boiling water in the shower, and sat shaking on the couch, nearly physically holding herself together lest she do something worse, she has done the angry sobbing and held up one half of an imaginary argument while pacing her kitchen island in circles, she’s done all of it. So now she’s sitting at her kitchen counter, exhaustion a weight hung in her ribcage, watching the oven clock click closer to the trial she has in the morning.
And then the knock at the door.
Or, Miles Edgeworth returns from the dead. Franziska von Karma stands at the bottom of a canyon, and looks up.

Missed call (4)
New voicemail: From: Maya
Nick, hey, it’s Maya. I just saw the news, something about your trial - are you doing okay? I’m sure you’re in the middle of investigating, or finding a loophole, or - or something, if you need help I can be down there tomorrow, haha. You know I’m always looking for an excuse to take a weekend off from training. But, um, you know, I’m worried about you, so if you need anything, I’m here, let me know, all that stuff, yadda yadda. You know what I mean. Um, love you -

Summary
Four gods, a handful of dead kings, the ghost of an oracle, and now the light of a dying star. One human body. Noctis kneels on the floor of the keep, collapsed forward with his forehead resting on the cool concrete for precious minutes, breathing labored and keening some high pitched, terrible sound. He wants to feel a hand on his shoulder and for someone to pull him away from the hurricane-force of the magic just at his back, he wants his teeth to stop ringing like his whole jaw’s a tuning fork.
But it doesn’t. And no one does.
Or, accepting boons from the gods comes with consequences. Noctis drifts further away. Gladio, Prompto, and Ignis can only watch.

Summary
As he stared down into the lumpy grey goop that was his evening rations, he contemplated whether it was really worth it.
They’d come a very long way just for Grace to give up and die at the last hurdle, both physically and emotionally. The Tau Ceti system was a long, long way away now, and Grace had faced not one but two highly emotional suicide missions. Three, if you counted the time before he was given a military grade roofie and hucked into space without his memories.
Rocky and Grace make it back to Erid! Huzzah!
Now they have to navigate all of... that.- Language:

Summary
Something, equal parts wariness and weariness, stirs in Olruggio’s eyes whenever Qifrey makes some reference to the future — when he indirectly promises a tomorrow, a next week, an ‘after your commissions are done’. It’s the subtlest thing, a flicker, a spark; someone who knew him less well might not pick up on it. But Qifrey knows Olruggio as well as he knows himself, and he can hardly in good conscience begrudge him his flinch of cynicism. Not when it’s wholly his own fault for having put it there.
Fool you once, shame on me. Fool you twice, still shame on me. Fool you thrice… well, if it’s any consolation whatsoever, I was fooling myself most of all.
-- -- --
The night Qifrey returns to the atelier for good after his wandering days — old promises kept, new promises made.Bookmarked by feather_cadence

Summary
There is no cure for the silverwood, but that doesn't mean there isn't any hope. Olruggio helps Qifrey through a new treatment to tame the parasite inside him.
-
Olruggio starts like he always does, “I’ve got you. You’re safe. I forgive you.” He punctuates each statement by running his nails gently across Qifrey’s scalp.
The silverwood tree sprouts.

"No. That's why I said I wanted your opinion."
