Summary
If the tomes I have struggled to comprehend are to be believed, you will know this letter is meant for you when— if— it finds you. I intend to burn it in offering to the Sugar-Plum Fairy. She may be gone, but so are you, and so I suppose you may be in the same place. I don’t imagine she will be kind enough to give this to you, but perhaps you will be clever enough to find it.

Summary
Lapin blinks slowly at Brassica as she steps up to the bars of his cell, the guards splitting around her like so much water over a stone. He inclines his head, trying for regal and probably failing.
“Heretic.” Her voice grates against his eardrums. “You have awakened.”
“Zealot. You haven’t killed me.” Lapin replies, dry.

The worst part, Theobald thinks, isn't the definite break in his shoulder. It isn't his creaking ribs or his bloody face. It isn't even the fact that he's crying for the first time in a while, it isn't the shame that comes with letting his guard down in such a time of crisis.
The worst part is that Lapin is dead and they all watched it.

Summary
Nothing about their friendship had ever been either conventional or friendly. In fact, Theobald was being terribly optimistic by calling it a friendship. (Rivalry felt more appropriate, but that felt like admitting there was even a sliver of a chance that Lapin could best him.)
The long history of Theobald Gumbar and Lapin Cadbury, and why they hate each other.

Summary
“I would have freed you soon enough,” the so-called Sovereign Ruler of Candia says cheerfully, smiling at the House of Rocks as they kneel on the ground before her.
Oh, so she's freeing and imprisoning people already. What a perfect leader, Jet thinks, leaning against the cavern wall, her arms crossed as she stares down the sorceress thunderously. And I was just starting to enjoy the idea of ruling Candia, too.
Not for the first time today, she is more than a little bit pissed that she's no longer alive to say these things out loud.

Summary
It is becoming easier, almost, to adjust to the new way of life. He has switched to using his left hand to cast the spell, and the effects are creeping further and further up his left arm with each passing day, even if they vanish by the next morning.
But that is an understandable price to pay. A reasonable price, if it keeps everyone else safe. It doesn’t matter, really, if he has started to find more and more lacerations from stray waves of shadow each morning as he lies in his untouched bed. It doesn’t matter that the pupils of his eyes, when he gazes into the reflective glass of the captain’s desk, are starting to disappear entirely. Nor that he will sometimes start at the faint feeling of fingers threading around his neck, tracing the line of his cheek.
“Praesidio. Praesidio, fortier defendebant, defendebant splendide...”
The Rocks family is safe. Any price is worth that.

“You would abandon us so easily, Chancellor?”
“If my lady so desired,” Lapin said evenly, inclining his head in practiced, feigned politeness.

Summary
There's a whole tidal wave of emotions threatening to pull Saccharina out to sea to drown. She swallows them all down, forces a shaky smile onto her face. "It's nice to meet you as well," she says politely. "I would say I've heard much about you, but I fear that might be an exaggeration."
"Ruby doesn't talk about me much, I would imagine," Jet nods sagely. "Has she at least told you about my ideas? You gotta ask her about my ideas, I had so many of them!"
Saccharina thinks about the last time she had tried to ask Ruby about something Jet related, and the anger that had flashed across Ruby's face. Nowadays, Ruby is better at swallowing that anger down and being kind instead, but she's not nearly as good as hiding it as she might think she is and Saccharina knows, she knows their relationship is nowhere near the levels she once dreamed it to be. "I will try," she says quietly. "Your twin is very hard to approach sometimes."
~~
or: saccharina speaks to the dead in a dream and then confronts death in the waking world. ruby refuses to let another sister die by poison.

Summary
It's been about a year since the reclamation Castle Candy. Since then, Amethar and Caramelinda have been instated as Emperor and Empress, Saccharina is the Queen of Candia, and all of Calorum is kind of a mess. But the leaders are coming together to sign a new and improved Concord, a good step in the direction of fixing all the messes made at the Grand Tournament.
Until an attack in Comida leaves Saccharina on the ground and Ruby unresponsive, and they all realize Ruby pushed Saccharina out of the way. Why would she do that?

Fandoms: Dimension 20 (Web Series)
18 May 2020

Summary
Anger is burning in Lapin’s chest. It is bitter, and it is bloody, and it shines brighter than any Bulb the church might care to invent.
Normally, he leaves his emotions be. He cannot afford to let feelings drive him forwards. Remaining logical is the only safe way to play the game of politics - and if you do not play it safe, you die. And if you die, then what was the point?
But nothing about their predicament is normal. So, fuck playing the game safely. Fuck that.
The world will not play safe with the lives of those he loves.
***
In which Belizabeth Brassica is looking for a heretic, and Lapin confesses to his apostasy to protect the House of Rocks.

Summary
During the Battle at Buzzybrook, Ruby makes a split-second decision to follow Constano Grissini into the woods rather than return to safety with her family. What follows is a journey through grief, purpose and how to live with blood on your hands.
(Grissini lifts his head and it’s the first time that he’s looked at her for hours. He looks sad, she thinks. Sad like Liam, sad like her Pops.
“Did you run to catch me or to leave them behind?”)

Summary
Saccharina knows that she doesn't belong at the abbey— that she is destined for something more, something greater than the sisters' abuse and refusal to accept her magic for the gift that it is. What she doesn't know is that her future holds so much more than mere acceptance of her gift, if only she can reach out and take it.

Summary
Ruby moves closer to her twin the further up the mountain they hike. Jet shivers, passing a grin back at Ruby. Telepathy doesn’t exist, however Ruby was pretty sure her and Jet were connected psychically, at least a little. Enough to both regret not wearing warmer clothes at the very least.

Summary
Absently, Ruby is aware of Saccharina moving almost cautiously towards her—the way one might approach a wild animal. Ruby doesn’t even have it in her to send all of her anger and hate Saccharina’s way right now. She doesn’t know how to even begin to explain what she is feeling in this moment, other than the fact that she is dealing with an absence so loud that she doesn’t think she can even speak. Saccharina must intuit this, somehow.
(In the small part of her brain that isn’t overwhelmed by loss, Ruby considers that Saccharina, a girl that grew up alone, without a castle or her family, might actually know a thing or two about loss).
