    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

    I look. Then I gasp.

    Summary

    This is set during the main quest "Righting Wrongs."

    What was Cid even thinking, splitting up before the meeting to sneak into Oriflamme? Leaving Clive to arrive in Sanbreque by himself, not only as a lone Bearer without a master but also marked as a deserter. It's not as if Clive easily blends in...

    Things take a downward turn for Clive in Moore as he attracts the ire of a nobleman by being a Branded who speaks his mind.

    Summary

    Clive has lost his brother too many times.

    Once, to his own hands – even if it wasn't true in the end, the belief that he had had nearly ruined him.

    The second time, he was left with a feather in his fingers and a silent promise he clung to as his lifeline through the subsequent storm.

    So, with Joshua passed out in the infirmary, forgive Clive for being a little jittery. He'll do his duties, of course, but he's running at half-power, at best, waiting for someone to tell him...

    Whumptober Day 7 & 10

    It’s like his life force if being syphoned away, made into flames and sparks and pressed into the forge as he wills it to light. It takes a few moments, and by the end of it, he’s more than a little bit woozy.

    Clive was no longer a thing that was held, the way he had been as a youth, even if only to Joshua. He did not know how to feel about the arm around him; all he knew was that it was warm.

    Summary

    Bolt Academy has everything: prestige, affluence, renown. Almost every world leader, CEO, athlete, and have stepped through its doors. Problem is, it’s only for boys. But it’s the only school with the most challenging architecture program in the country. What else is Annabeth Chase supposed to do? Desperate to achieve her dream of becoming an esteemed architect, she cuts off her long curls, binds her chest, and goes by the name of Andy - the newest male student on campus. Now she must travel the dorms, the locker rooms, even the hallways with her secret. It’s smooth sailing, that is until Annabeth’s roommate Percy Jackson - a nationally ranked freestyle swimmer - starts to have feelings for Andy.

    Coming to understand his sexual orientation, Percy navigates a campus filled with homophobia and hate crimes, all while every day taking a step closer to competing in the Olympics. Around every corner lies an opportunity for sabotage, and Percy has a target on his back.

    But when Percy discovers the secret that Annabeth has been keeping, hard choices must be made and neither are willing to let the other give up on their dreams.

    An interpretation of “She’s the Man” and the Korean drama “To the Beautiful You.”

    Summary

    It wasn’t necessarily misfortune to be in love with one’s neighbour, however it was certainly an event that relied upon fortuitous circumstances to end well. He’d tried as hard as a man rapidly approaching his thirties could to remain unbitter about the situation and some days perhaps even thought he managed it.

    Summary

    I made my way down the drive, handkerchief pressed discreetly to my nose, toward the small car that had become both my companion and tormentor in these months; the car that promised me the world’s distance while dragging me unresisting through its motions. As I placed a hand on the door handle, I heard a familiar voice call out to me.

    “Nick!”

    I turned, startled, and there he was: Gatsby himself, immaculate even at such an early hour. He was clad in loose trousers and a collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, yet despite the casual air of his clothes, he managed to look as elegant as the night I first encountered him. He came down the marble steps of his mansion with a speed and certainty that betrayed his alarm, coming to my side as if honing in on a beacon.

    “You can’t possibly be going to work,” he declared, as though the very idea were obscene.

    Nick is sick. Gatsby insists on looking after him.

    Summary

    Dream is not coping well post-imprisonment, after he has finally set things to order otherwise following the Vortex. There are unexciting times with migraines, dissociation, and panic attacks galore. Also copious references to sand and glass. Almost like a leitmotif / metaphor, even.

    Title from "The Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel. (Opinion hours: 1964 acoustic version on Wednesday Morning, 3 AM album is the best version. You cannot change my mind.)

    The head pains, the sparkling lights, the nausea - they come back. Again. And again. He gets better at hiding the signs, cursing whatever has caused this. He gets better at pretending he's not constantly behind a barrier of glass, that he's free, that he's fine. Dream is constantly behind glass. Stained glass, bloody glass, rounded glass, broken glass, all muffling the world around him, filling his head with cotton. Sometimes he wonders if it was easier being in the glass cage. At least then he didn't have to pretend.
