    Summary

    "Pixie. Noun. A supernatural being in folklore and children's stories; synonyms include sprite, brownie, faerie."

    In which Feo Ul gains a sapling, gains a nemesis, and muddles their way through the meaning of it all. Or: five times they clashed with the faerie from across the rift, and the singular occasion in which they came to a peaceable accord.

    Summary

    “Do you remember?” he asked, his voice a bare whisper.

    Ike swallowed hard. He didn’t look at Soren.

    “Some of it,” he said, his voice rough. “My parents.”

    Soren reached out and touched his wrist. His fingers were shaking.

    “Do you remember first meeting me?” he asked. His heart beat wildly beneath his ribs.

    Ike looked back at him and Soren couldn’t tell what he was seeing.

    “No,” he said.

    --

    Soren ascends the Tower of Guidance, step by step.

    Summary

    They're spending the holiday on borrowed time. Desmond had no idea that the mystery of the Azran would take so long to unearth, and he’d fully expected to have already betrayed them all by Christmas, to have beaten Targent at their own foolish game before the year was over.

    And so instead of celebrating Christmas with a traditional family unit, Desmond is celebrating with his brother who has no idea he’s related to him, said brother’s university assistant, his butler, a twelve-year-old who, frankly, should be with his own parents instead of travelling the world, the emissary of an ancient civilisation, and a cat.

    …Well. He supposes the holidays are different for everyone.

    or: the bostonius crew spend christmas together.

    Summary

    "The thing about computers is, nothing's ever really deleted. Just overwritten. Or. Well. Corrupted. A few hundred thousand years of exposure will probably do that."

    His eyes join Penny's, lingering on the machine. That which had been the one watching them from afar, not so long ago. Which towered over them, scraping the firmament. Mad glory and liberated mercy incarnate. Now, it lay in a low, mangled, eons-forsaken heap. Draped in the eerie shadow of turned tables.

    "But. If there's anything that can stand the test of time? I'd put my money on the crazy crystal tech your mom was working on, down there."

    Thus - after one week, two carefree semesters, and an awfully reluctant eternity - the recovery effort begins in earnest.
