    Summary

    Sonetto is content with this, she wants to tell herself; content being hopelessly devoted to Vertin— to the Timekeeper; to the Foundation— for nothing in return. She's content with dying for them, even. She wants so desperately to believe it.

    How can she, though? How can she when there are flowers in her stomach and vines squeezing her lungs?

    or: Sonetto gets Hanahaki and has to grapple with what that means.

    Summary

    What were the stages of grief again?

    Denial, Jax remembers. He knows that one. It’s the first on the list, the one that clues people in that it’s developing grief in the first place. Not that he’s grieving. That was silly. And a straight up delusional take on his situation. He doesn’t grieve.

    Cartoonish purple rabbits don’t grieve.

    The dead can’t speak, the guilty don’t deserve to. Pomni has Thoughts™ and makes it Jax’s whole problem.

    (Or: the one where she gives one last push.)

    Summary

    The Smoke Sea is on the world map, probably, in a small corner somewhere, maybe, in the oceanic blue, perhaps, where the very edge of East meets West. Split by islands and starlit, it holds a dark sky and darker secrets in the depths below. Terrible things happen, the fish economy is on shaky legs, and someone probably dies.

    If anything, Gura just wants to fish. The creature under the water, watching her, thinks this is a mighty fine idea.

    - - -

    Pride burst in her chest as the shape moved under its coat, though it dimmed when it slipped off its chair with a loud thump onto the deck. But still! She’d gotten them back home, onto the ship, closer to the ocean and herself. It wasn’t good to spend so much time on land.

    That surely wasn’t healthy at all.
