    Summary

    “I don’t know… if I believe in heroes… especially after… your story,” he says. “But when I was… in the laboratory… I often wished… that a hero… would come save me.”

    She twists her lips wryly, and says without thinking, “And instead, they put you in another cage.”

    Lady Nagant may be a failure of a hero and a failure of a human being, but it’ll be a cold day in hell before she lets that be the reason for failing the kid in the neighboring cell.

    Well, why not?

    Summary

    No human is permitted to see the Animal Court. But Tim, a feral, too-small thing, with tangled hair and teeth that yet remember how to rend, who scrambles about on four legs as often as two because there is no one to lift him to his feet - Tim, who wandered into the nighttime woods and has no one to call him back to the light of human homes - why would the forest have any reason to think him a man-thing?

    Summary

    There’s a beat of hesitation, but Evan lets go of the red metal and looks headlong into the ground awaiting him.

    All is calm, and he takes a step.

    “What the fuck.” The stillness of the night is shattered to pieces, and Evan scrambles desperately to take hold of the bridge again. The loss of the silence brings about the loss of control, and within moments he’s hyperventilating, hands sweating and heart racing.

    Evan glances over his shoulder and in the darkness can make out a slight, tall figure standing at the very edge of the treeline.

    “I-I’m sorry?” Evan chances in response, eyes on the person as they step forward.

    And, well. Of all the people he expected to see tonight, Connor Murphy was not one of them.
