    Summary

    It's something of an unspoken commandment that when you hear the SOS beacon, you respond, no matter what. Grace knows this. He knows that it might jeopardize the mission, but he can't leave someone in danger. He can't.

    ***

    Through a bunch of coincidences and the author pulling many worldbuilding strings, the Hail Mary picks up a faint distress signal and goes to investigate. When it does, what should it find but an ocean of blood on a tiny moon drifting in a starless void.

    Summary

    When Dexter gets taken to the interrogation room in cuffs, he thinks he is done for. Of course, not everything is that simple, and the very thing he tried escaping comes to bite him right where it hurts the most.

    The memory of that night is still fresh, if not a little muted.

    OR

    The one where Dexter is still profoundly traumatized.

    (A continuation of part 1 but can be read on its own. Summary of part 1 to be found in AN.)

    Summary

    "It wasn’t any of his business. He didn’t know Wilbur. He didn’t know anything about him - his family, his friends, his hobbies, anything.

    And yet, watching Wilbur curl into a ball beneath the blows…

    Techno itched to intervene.

    He couldn’t - he couldn’t. Not if he wanted to have even a vague chance of passing his exams, building himself a future beyond underground fighting rings or none at all. Not if he wanted to keep the warm room and his soft bed and three meals a day. Not if he wanted Phil to keep smiling at him.

    He kept walking."

    -----------------

    Or, Techno is a foster kid that needs to stay out of trouble if he wants Phil to keep him around.
    Wilbur is in a lot of trouble.

    Summary

    To HRH, Philza Craft,

     

    Your son, Wilbur Craft, has completed his program here at St Essempi’s School for Troubled Youths. He has met our expectations, learned his place, and can now carry out his duties to the high standards expected of him. We were very proud to be allowed to train a prince of the realm, and we hope you are pleased with the results.
    Inside of this package we have placed a number of items that may be of use to you in keeping him under control. Further instructions and advice on using them are in the handbook, also enclosed.
    If you are not satisfied with the results, or would like more counseling on continuing his training at home, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

     

    Regards,
    Ms A. Hardcracker
    Headmistress

    Prince Wilbur returns home to his family after four months at a reform school. He's learned proper behaviour... but he isn't the Wilbur his family used to know.

    “Wilbur… what did they do to you at that school?”

    Summary

    Serena considers what it means to put a label on things. Matt freaks out over a documentary.

    -
    Or, how cults are kind of like an abusive relationship and the importance of having someone there to use the words you can't.
