    Summary

    He let the tiny silvery beads of lies thread themselves onto a string pulled much too tight to fit them all. And often he wondered when, or if, he would be allowed to tear through the strain and scatter them free.

    Though he never pushed, it didn't seem wise, as every time Qifrey would avert his gaze and give him one of his similarly practiced laughs. The corner of his eye would lift, and his mouth would quiver and morph into a thin brushstroke of a smile—the very same one Olruggio had taught him all those years back. A shared skill of deception he could never take back.

    The night after coming home from Silver Eve, Olruggio is wide awake, watching Qifrey sleep in his embrace. In the dim moonlight, he sees something he is not quite certain to be tears.

    Summary

    Ever since you were very little, Dad has told you stories. Stories of heroism, of adventure and friendship and love. Stories of the Mighty Nein.
    You know they’re not real, because only you and Dad are real. It’s you, and Dad, in Room, and that’s all there is.

    (It starts like this: Essek Thelyss meets Ludinus Da’leth when he is 81 years old, desperately lonely, and convinced down to his core that he is too clever to be taken advantage of.)

    (It starts like this: Ludinus Da’leth has never truly let go of anything.)

    Summary

    relativity, noun. 1) In physics: the degree to which a phenomenon’s perception differs between observers based on their independent reference frames; 2) In philosophy: the belief that there is no absolute morality existing beyond the conditioning of the individual.


    The return to Aeor is a crucible of sorts- all that they have this time is each other, which is both electrifying and terrible in near-equal quantities. Two wizards in one place is trouble, but when they're Caleb and Essek it's a match to acetylene.

    (Or: how it falls apart and comes back together.)

    Summary

    The second time the Nein come to Vurmas, it isn't as friends. Essek seeks refuge with the one person they (hopefully) won't approach.

    That is how it happened. Definitely.

    Summary

    And now, five days after his parents' death, and one day after his coming-of-age, and one day before his parents' funeral, Prince Scott must be crowned king, with no training and barely any preparation.

    He's so young. The prince really is just a boy.
    ~
    Or, five times that Ilphas saw Scott as a boy, and one time they saw him as far older than he is.
