    Summary

    the day after the circus left felt wrong in the way quiet rooms feel wrong after shouting.

    shandrea noticed it in the small things first.

    in the way the castle corridors carried sound too cleanly, like the stones themselves were holding their breath. in the way the banners along the upper halls barely stirred, though the windows were open to the sea wind. in the way no one quite looked at her for longer than necessary.

    six months without the crown, and still the kingdom did not quite know what to do with her.

    she did not quite know what to do with herself, either.

    OR

    a rewrite of shandrea's and owain's talk but angsty <3

    Summary

    “I’d like to see you try to beat me in a game of Farkle now that all my bad luck is gone!” Nom argued, laughing as a few flowers snaked around his wrists in challenge. “Your flowers were very useful, though, for all the bouquets I had to make. Thanks, Scott!” Nom earnestly admitted, oblivious to the thousand of swirling emotions currently burning in Scott’s chest at the small comment.

    His magic was… helpful? I mean- he knew that obviously, why else would he be drafted to the Blue Kingdom? But to hear that from Nom when he wasn’t even concentrating on controlling his magic and was just letting it seep into the landscape naturally? To hear that his wild, untamed magic didn’t just hurt, didn’t scar and cut until blood stained the soil, but instead helped was forcing Scott to sit still in shock, a flush of red covering his cheeks as he battled to regain his bearings. How could his magic ever be… good?

    What should you do when you notice a flower is missing from your friend's hair? Obviously gently put a new flower back in its rightful place; subsequently leaving your friend to deal with way too many emotions about the act of care!

    Summary

    Legundo continued to stare at Scott as he let the elder vampire take him through the motions, head whirling with every new direction he found himself in.

    The feeling of wrongness did not leave him.

    "Mr. Goldsmith-" He started, trying to wrestle some semblance of normalcy into his blunt claws.

    "Please. You can just call me Scott. I'm enjoying your company, after all." Scott interrupted smoothly as he adjusted his grip on Legundo's waist to be less tight. "What's your name?"

    The question nearly made Legundo stop moving entirely.

    Scott didn't know who he was.

    .☘︎ ݁˖

    In which it's 2006 on New Year's Eve, and Scott is Legundo's newest patient due to a strange case of amnesia. However, it would be easier to figure out the root issue if Scott would just stop flirting with the doctor...

    Summary

    It's been a while since Nom had to do something like this.

    It's almost nostalgic.
    ~~~
    Aka, as inspired by the semi-lore dungeon run, Nom gets injured and Scott heals him which gets him to feel bad enough that he actually properly apologizes huzzah

    Summary

    Hell wasn't great. That was the simplest way to put it, and 4c swore that his head felt foggy in places and he wasn't all there most of the time.

    Nom tries to help him win a couple games of farkle. The games he needs to get parts of his soul back, and despite the crushing weight of that expectation sitting on his shoulders he tries.

    He definitely shouldn't try, though.

    When Nom starts to tell him to roll again or play it safe, all he could think about is having to verse a fucked-up gods puppet version of his best friend back in hell.

    4cvit spirals.
