  4. Summary

    The October Daily Writing Themes on Tumblr sounded like a lot of fun so here we go!

    These fics will probably not be related to each other much at all. We're just writing whatever we're struck with. If some happy accident occurs, we'll let you know.

    Summary

    There are many stories about the origin of the House of Royce. What Aranessa knows is this: there is something inside her, ephemeral as moonlight and older than gods, and it is not, strictly speaking, good.

    The Lady Royce knows there are things she should not permit herself to be tempted by.

    But Aranessa wants.

    Summary

    The Voice of the Tempest is ageless and ancient. The woman who bears the name sits tall, even wrinkled and grey. Her eyes are closed, her face turned up into the sunlight.

    Keyleth was always going to be the last one left.

    Summary

    He thinks maybe it should make him more frightened, that he should worry about the liabilities he has allowed these people to become. It does nothing to temper the joy of being trusted, of being someone worthy of friend. It does nothing to diminish the memory of Caleb’s spellbook in his lap this morning, its owner sound asleep before him; the sweet press of concern behind Jester’s words in his mind the night before as she reached out with sending.
    A rabbit walks into a snare. The snare closes around its throat, killing it. What is responsible for its death, the stupidity of the rabbit or the viciousness of the snare’s purpose?
    The Shadowhand of the Bright Queen walks into the T-Dock, he thinks, and feels sick.

    Two months after surviving the ruin of Aeor, Caleb and Essek return to tie up loose ends.

    Summary

    His skin feels too tight over his body; like his heart is being pulled forward, like it could burst through his sternum.

    “What are you doing?” he breathes, barely audible. The words feel like they’re coming from somewhere else.

    “Being brave,” Caleb replies.

    *

    On the eve of Trent’s trial, Caleb calls Essek and asks for a distraction. He doesn’t specify what kind. Essek has always been good at seeing possibilities.
