    Summary

    Under the effects of a biological miasma that messes with her mind, Maelle sees her teammates as a threat… except for Lune.

    Title from the traditional lullaby “I See the Moon”:
    I see the moon, and the moon sees me
    Shining down on the old oak tree
    Please let the moon that shines on me
    Shine on the one I love

    Summary

    Fixing is the modus operandi by which Gustave operates, something comforting - find the problem, think on it, knock heads and ideas around, build the patch, apply the patch, test the patch. The steps fall one after the other with rhythm, cylinders firing inside a well-oiled machine. It's a dance he knows and loves.

    The steps are out of order for this song. His great stumble stares back at him, the stump of an arm wrapped in fresh bandaging.

    ~~~

    AKA Gustave overcomes the loss of his arm.

    Summary

    With the Paintress gone, the world saved, and everyone back from the dead, they should have their perfect happy ending. But death has a habit of leaving scars even where it is reversed, new beginnings do not come easy, and no one is entitled to forgiveness.

    When he returns from the continent newly alive and with the memory of his last moments ringing in his mind, all Lucien can think of is how he failed to protect Gustave in the end, and how he does not want to fail again. But looking after Gustave has always been a challenge, and it is made no easier by the fact that Maelle has all these memories of another life now, and a new brother, and trouble figuring out her priorities and how they affect those around her.
