    Summary

    "Hunter didn’t regret keeping things to himself. It wasn’t his nature to be so vulnerable. But maybe if he had clued the others in, they would have understood his reasons for being so jumpy. Maybe they would have been more vigilant too.

    And maybe, if they had been, he wouldn’t have been alone when the danger eventually caught up with them."

    -

    Post "King's Tide", the gang is trying to recover and regroup in the human realm. Fate (and Belos) have other plans. This turns out to be very bad news for Hunter.

    Summary

    Bad dreams suck. Grace wakes up from a nightmare of being on the Hail Mary, which is utterly impossible, but his throat hurts like he really did have a tube pulled out of it.

    Turns out, he wasn't the only one to have that dream. Which was even more impossible than him actually being on a ship that's not even fully built.

    aka A movie react fic where everyone sees the film in dreams.

    Summary

    Willow shakes with rage. That’s not fair! It’s not Hunter’s fault he can’t do magic and he isn’t any weaker for it! Her fury threatens to climb out of her chest in the form of the vines she can feel weaving a path under the school. Her magic slips into their roots so easily, calling forth sharp thorns that slice through the earth and stone beneath them. She could take Bosha down easily, make it so she doesn’t play another game of grudgby for the rest of the season.

    Still, she forces herself to breathe in for four, out for four, and again. Let Hunter handle it for now. She can kick Boscha’s butt for this some other time.

    Just stay calm.

    Stay calm.

    She collects herself and resigns herself to glare at the bully from her friend’s side.

    And then Boscha delivers the killing blow. “Hah! Figures! Of course half-a-witch-Willow would find another half-a-witch to befriend.”

    Hunter flinches hard.

    He stumbles back, eyes wide.

    And Willow.

    Sees.

    Red.

    Summary

    “Wait, wait!” Hunter stopped her, as he now had his attention fixed on a second book from the pile. “It says here that human colds typically last only a couple of days, giving me a limited window of time for research!”

    “Yeah, only a couple of days if you take the time to rest!” Luz shot back, exasperated by his willfulness.

    “Perfect! Then I have more time to gather information.” He shut the book and placed it neatly onto the top of the stack, then merrily made his way out of the room, a sway in his step.

    ~

    In which Hunter catches a bad cold in the human realm and decides to treat it as a learning experience.

    “But! This is merely an experiment. And perhaps… maybe if the results prove effective… I will consider this as an option next time I fall ill.” His voice was soft and apprehensive, but it clearly meant the world to the others. Even Flapjack was singing triumphant chirps.

    Summary

    “I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised,” Darius says, massaging another glob of red dye into Hunter’s hair. “In terms of teenage rebellion, this is usually one of the firsts on the list.”
    “There’s a list?” Hunter asks.
    “It’s an expression, child,” Darius says.
    “Oh,” Hunter says. He taps his fingers on his thigh. “I mean, right, obviously. But could you… make me one?”

    The Demon Realm is finally free from Belos. And now that Hunter knows he's safe, he can finally act like a kid's supposed to--and follow more rules! (look, he's not good at this, okay?)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “I keep thinking he’s going to come back for me,” Hunter admits. “I thought it’d get better after the Day of Unity, but I keep having these dreams where he finds me and every time, I ask him to forgive me but he just tells me the only thing I’m good for is to as fuel. So I take an axe, and chop off my arm. And then I build a fire to keep him warm.”
