    Summary

    “We do not say anything about the Hollander situation,” LeClaire tells them even though it sounds like he’s already resigned to what he knows is going to happen.

    After all, Roz gets extremely mad whenever it’s brought up. Not that Cliff can blame him, he’s pretty sure that Roz liked Hollander before this (wouldn’t chirp him half as much if he didn’t). Finding out that he’s such a bastard must sting.

    Not to mention that Roz does not mess around with people that disrespect girls. Or women. Or kids. Or dogs. Or the elderly (excluding Scott Hunter). Or really anyone, if it’s for petty stupid reasons.

    “Of course,” Cliff agrees for both of them since Roz is still too busy texting someone.

    It’s apparently not good enough for LeClaire because he asks, “Roz?”

    “Just one second,” he answers without raising his eyes from his phone or stopping his typing. “Need to get my Jane to agree with something. She’s very stubborn.”

     

    Or. My take on the 'their text leak and now everybody thinks that Shane is an abusive bastard' premise. Featuring Ilya giving a presser, Marly realizing in real time who 'Jane' is and the internet reacting to the craziness.

    Summary

    At our next Maximizing Rocky Happiness meeting, I pitch my idea to Adrian over a walk down the beach.

    They don’t say anything for several seconds after I finish my explanation. Maybe it was a bad idea to share. Finally, Adrian asks, their tone dry, “You want to put Eridian eggs inside squishy human body, question?

    Summary

    It starts, as so many things seem to, with Qifrey being absolutely miserable. It's not the ever present ache of his missing eye that used to follow him every waking second, nor the quiet underlying sense of dread that had never left him, cultivated by his own design to keep the silvertree roots at bay before the medics at the healing spire has cut him open and removed it with a precision no one thought possible. No, this was an entirely different sort of misery, one that was so mundane it bordered on comical in contrast to what he had endured.

    Qifrey, quite plainly, is sick.


    Or: Two years after getting rid of the silvertree seed, something new starts growing.

    Summary

    There were three major social faux pas in witching society. Chief among these was the use or casting of forbidden magic, a egregious offense that would call for the caster's memories to be taken from them. Left to be discarded as nothing more than a boogeyman whispered between children. The second, much less offensive then the use of forbidden magic but almost crueler with its affliction would be the crime of being deemed unfit to cast. Whether it be the absense of a steady hand or the lack of perfect eye sight, it truly was a pitiful fate to fall into.

    The last one, a social crime that Tetia has found herself in through no fault of her own, was being an apprentice without a master.

    At night, Tetia would dream of a fluffy cloud that would cradle her. The cloud was warm and soft and enveloped her in its comfort like a blanket. In her dreams, instead of the threadbare smock she had she was wearing perfectly tailored dresses that swished like the robes the adult witches would wear. Her shoes would fit, whether they be the slippers princesses would wear or boots that wouldn’t be separating at the sole with each step.

    One thing she was never able to dream away was hunger.

    Summary

    Qifrey hasn't been to visit since Beldaruit offered Coco a place in his atelier.

     

    MANGA SPOILERS through the first time they meet Beldaruit. Technically takes place after Silver Eve, but doesn't really contain any major spoilers for that arc. Can be read if you are an anime only watcher, but there will be Qifrey backstory spoilers. No chapter 40 or chapter 93 spoilers, though hinted at.
