    Summary

    Their gazes turn expectantly to Pearl. She shrinks under the weight of it. This path is one she’s walked before, back in a time of red strings and red eyes, bloodlust and bitterness. It’s not something she’s keen to return to. Not even for the temptation of another win. She can see a watery grave beckoning, and every instinct is telling her to run. Every instinct warns her against the too-hungry eyes of a deer and a bird that look upon her without fear, in affront to nature.

    But they want her. And she wants to be wanted.

    ~

    Pearl's no stranger to being a lone wolf. That's just how it goes, sometimes, in a death game, despite how much she wishes otherwise. So when a new world starts with Gem and Grian's promises of belonging, she leaps at the chance to be part of a pack again. But she quickly finds herself pulled into dark, cold depths that have her struggling to keep her head above water. And at the end of it all, she faces a haunting question: what do they actually want her for?

    Summary

    They aren’t delivering anything special – five large barrels of pickles, several bolts of cloth, enough salt to season a couple thousand meals – and their ship is barely large enough to pass council regulations. It doesn’t matter. It’s hers, and she's on it. She’s on the open sea with her closest friends, and a ship, and a storage bunker full of merchandise.

    Impulse practically has to drag her below deck so Skizz can take over watch. She curls up on her bunk, lulled to sleep by the rocking of the waves, and dreams of sailing.

    ~•~

    When Gem sets out on her first voyage to the Isles - as a captain, no less! - she has full faith that with her experienced crew beside her, nothing could possibly go wrong. That is, until a sudden storm sweeps them across the sea, and they encounter something (...someone?) that they thought was confined to myth...

    Summary

    Scott laughs again, "Even if that was how it worked, I imagine half the academy has heard aaall about it in the time we've been sat here talking. You said you left more marks on AJ? AJ?"

    Drift groans and slumps back in the sofa, "I'm doomed man Shelby's gonna think I'm a floozy."


    Some of the secret passageways in the academy open and close at set times each day—this is the aftermath of what would happen if Drift and AJ were on the wrong side of the door for a day. Drift does NOT want to talk about what happened in there.
