    Summary

    Derek Hutchins survived the impossible. Now he has to survive something harder: being taken care of.

    Avery is very good at this. Derek is very bad at accepting it. They are both, slowly, figuring it out.

    A collection of soft moments set after the end of everything, grocery runs and bad Skywars games and 2am conversations and learning, little by little, what it means to just exist without the weight of the universe pressing down.

    Whatever you do at the crossroads, keep going forward.

    They did. This is what comes next.

    Summary

    Verso recognizes Gustave at once.

    Gustave is standing in a clearing, then, on a continent where he doesn’t have any reason to be. He’s also in the process of losing badly in a fight against a particularly large Cruleur. They’ve not seen each other since the fateful night of the concert. Since the night Verso left Lumière to never come back.

    Still, Verso recognizes him at once.

    Summary

    "God, Maelle can’t believe it, she’s so close now. She can’t believe it’s finally happening.

    It’s taken weeks and weeks of work and raw, ugly communication to bridge over the hurt, guilt, rage and grief, to slowly rebuild the wreck of their lives.

    And now, she's here, at the edge of her world."

    In which Maelle returns to the Canvas after reconciling with her parents, but sometimes reunions are messy, and things rarely remain the same. Also she notices the very unexpected friendship between Verso and Gustave.

    Summary

    In the stillness after Suchdol, Henry is paralyzed by his past, a prisoner to thoughts that convince him he’ll never be more than a boy who neglects the person closest to him — the same coward who watched his village burn and his parents die and their killer apologize to him and to God.

    ***

    Henry is plagued by nightmares, and he grapples with them while trying to figure out how to reconnect with Hans after their evening at Suchdol.
