Work Text:
A pair of young Unown spiraled around each other as they floated through a field of electromagnetic waves. Suddenly one of them fell through a dark spot in the world and the other could no longer feel its presence. In a panic it curled and uncurled its lower appendage and wiggled its upper appendage, but no others were close enough to feel its vibrations. Humming a marker into the space, it raced off to a more populated area. It was relieved when it felt the comforting power web of a large group. It quickly got their attention and explained what had happened.
A four appendaged friend who had been through spots in the world before sent others to find as many Unown as possible while most of the gathering followed the young, J shaped Unown back to the marker that it had hummed into the world, and the weak spot whose location it marked. The X Unown gestured for the J Unown to take the lead since it knew the location of the spot best and had last had contact with the lost Unown. It began weaving a ball around the spot. The others followed its lead and, as more and more Unown joined in, they soon looked like a globe made out of a ribbon of darkness surrounding an empty space in the world. The power web they all shared followed the shape that they weaved and stabilized the spot, holding it open until the lost Unown could make its way back through from wherever it had fallen.
After long enough that the J Unown was starting to worry that its friend would never return, the spot hummed and widened and a welcome g-like shape rose into the center of the pattern. The J Unown flew to embrace its friend while the others kept the pattern going. The G Unown assured it that no others of their kind were in the area it had been sent to, so they slipped back into the pattern and led it in a constricting spiral that closed the spot and smoothed its electromagnetic vibrations back into the rest of the world.
When they were done most of the others went back to what they were doing but the X Unown stayed to praise the J Unown's quick action and listen to the tale of loneliness rectified that the G Unown had to tell.
