    Summary

    “Your actions,” Tissaia continued, voice unusually tremulous. “Turned the tide at Sodden Hill—”

    “Tissaia, please,” Yennefer cut in, voice cracking as her eyes tightly shut. Her chest was uncomfortably tight, nose burning with the too-recent heat of useless tears.

    She could not listen to this.

    ------

    In which Yennefer's control has always been a tumultuous thing.

    Summary

    Goodbye, dear Tissaia. Though it was assuredly all in my naïve fantasies, your faith meant everything to me. I survived this far because of it and shall endure more because of the same. For what very little it is worth, I have faith in you just the same. The Brotherhood may be full of shits, but your girls need you. Take care of them, and let them take care of you as well.

    Yours, for the first and last time,

    Yenson of Vengerberg

    Yenson’, Tissaia thought for the hundredth time since returning to her chambers.

    A boy.

    Summary

    Trouble, Tissaia silently acknowledged with no small amount of mortification, that Yennefer was undoubtedly in because whomever sought the Rectoress’s capture had heard of Tissaia’s reaction to Yennefer’s disappearance. They all knew how she felt about Yennefer now.

    Summary

    From his place across the table, Artorius scoffed, "There's not been a Grand Mage since the Brotherhood formed." He leaned back. Posture relaxing dismissively, Artorius glibly added, "And that's not likely to change."

    Yennefer watched as Tissaia readily met Artorius’s contemptuous gaze and declared firmly, "I call for a vote."

    Summary

    Stregobor shook his head. "With all you did for her? Anyone with eyes or ears could see how you felt." Tissaia’s heart trembled as an uncharacteristic gleam of sympathy entered the Rector's gaze, "She was your everything."

    Summary

    Wrists throbbing as her hands unconsciously fisted tighter into the thick fabric of her gown, Yennefer's eyes fluttered open. Her heart had not stopped racing. Her ribs felt too tight for the expansion of her lungs, and her skin felt clammy as she tried to summon the will to move.

    Gods, she couldn't do this.

    Summary

    “An oath maker,” Agatha said flatly, drawing the coven’s attention. “One that works on blood.”

    “An oath?” Alice said finally, eyes narrowing on the brazier.

    Clicking her tongue, Agatha hummed. “The clue was rather explicit – we each swear an oath to confirm our identity. You add your blood and state your name and the central detail of who you are. The fire will either accept it as truth or not.” Her eyes narrowed at the paper still in Teen’s hand. “Presumably that will involve exposing a truth you’d rather not.”

    “W-what happens if you lie?” Billy asked, looking at her anxiously.

    Offering him a mirthless smile, Agatha replied shortly, “You die.” She didn’t have to look to know Rio was wearing a manic smile.

    Summary

    "Thought transference should flow through you, like learning to dance or swim or kiss."

     

    What of the Rectoress? What kisses has she tasted over the long years of her life? With whom and under what circumstances?

    Summary

    Gorazd smirked, “I dare you to kiss the prettiest person on the boat.”

    Resolved, and never one to back down from a challenge, Yennefer turned forward and said sweetly, “Sabrina, dear?” Sabrina turned sharply in her seat and stared at Yennefer incredulously. “Y-yes?” she uncharacteristically stuttered, disbelieving.

    Without missing a beat, Yennefer smiled sweetly and, batting her eyelashes in faux flirtation, said clearly, “Be a dear and move, would you? I need to get to Tissaia.”

    Summary

    If asked later, Agatha wouldn’t be able to say why she had done it. Much like when she absorbed magic, her body felt as though it were outside her control.

     

    ----

    In which Agatha sees Rio in danger and - despite herself - cannot stand to see her that way. Never let it be said that she was exceptionally well-known for thinking about the consequences of her actions.

    Summary

    Tears burning her eyes, Agatha rallied against her mother’s scorn, “Just because I don’t have a soulmark—” She was cut off by her mother’s sharp bark of cold laughter.

     

    “Oh yes, you did, you wretched girl!” Evanora hissed, her laughter having at last abated. Pearlescent features twisted into one bathed in impossibly more disgust as she sneered at her daughter.

     

    Agatha froze.

     

    What.

    Summary

    The illusion before them now, Lilia realized with silent regret, was Agatha’s reputation. The one Lilia had read instead of reading the woman herself.

    Agatha Harkness: The Witch Killer.

    A falsity from the start.

    Summary

    It was the same candle that now sat before her. A crooked navy-blue ribbon tied about its stocky circumference holding a sprig each of pine and spruce to its surface, angled into a V. A snipping of holly tucked between them and a thin wick poking out the uneven top.

    A gift.

    Tissaia blinked, momentarily stunned.

    Summary

    As she stared at the uncovered contents, however, Tissaia quickly discerned Yennefer’s intentions.

    Gritting her teeth with thinly veiled irritation, Tissaia’s nostrils flared as she exhaled and read the title of the text within: How to Admit You Were Wrong.

    Eyes closing, the Rectoress fought the urge to pinch the bridge of her nose in irritation. Insufferable girl.

    Summary

    Leaning heavily against a bale of stiff hay, Yennefer let her eyes drift shut. A small, weary smile played at the edges of her chapped lips. Time was up.
