    Summary

    One of the trainees tried to grab my waist while I was bending over to grab something. Cloud bit his thumbnail off and then Sarge had him run until he threw up. Kit wanted to send you the thumbnail today but it occurred to me you might do something with it. So she picked out this pine needle instead.

    -Daine

    It’s a good thought but I don’t think his thumbnail will have entirely regrown by the time I rejoin you. It will be a simple matter to detect him, I’m afraid.

    -Numair

    Series of shorter romance one-shots, since this is apparently how I'm handling quarantine.

    Summary

    Kel sat and thought about it all through the long summer-- thought about joining the Riders when she turned sixteen, or going back to the Yamani Isles with her parents, or running away to become an unlawful bandit hunter. She drank tea with her mother and accepted her quiet sympathy. She wondered what was going to happen to Peachblossom. She did her morning glaive practice dances in the heady air of the tiny courtyard garden of her parents' townhouse, where the cook grew herbs and spices in big overflowing boxes.

    Summer rolled on. She sat, and she thought, and she did not tell her thoughts to anyone. On the first day of what would have been her second year of page training, she woke before the sun and had a quiet breakfast with her father, and then she jogged up the big dusty hill to the palace.

    When the pages trailed out to the practice yards with dubious enthusiasm, she was waiting just outside their ground. Her chin was high, her shoulders loose while her hands gripped her weighted staff.

    "Probationer," Wyldon barked out her, when one of the boys went to fetch him. "Was I unclear in the spring?"

    Kel stared him down, fingers white on her staff, and said, "I'm not a probationer anymore."

    Summary

    Severus Snape will go to the ends of the earth for his Potions ingredients if he has to. But the top of a very high mountain is preferable, even if Harry Potter is living there.

    Summary

    Harry's back to teach at Hogwarts. It's mostly boring, but he likes it that way. Snape likes it that way, too.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    There’s so much that isn’t said or explicitly stated and there’s nothing that’s quite finished and lots of questions and YET AND *YET* — it was still so fun to read because it felt complete regardless. Great fic for critical writing analysis to try and understand it better.
