Summary
"Have you ever heard of Omelas, doctor?"
You pause, brow furrowing in thought. Fiction isn’t really your forte. You give a so-so kind of gesture.
"Story from the seventies or something. Ursula Le Guin right?”
De Fontane smiles that too-big smile again. The one that doesn’t reach her eyes.
“Correct. Omelas is a Utopian city whose safety and prosperity depends entirely on the perpetual misery of a single child. Or person, in this case.”
“Is that the job? Keep a child’s life miserable for the sake of the world?"
“Well, we're not a utopia, that's for sure. And it’s not a child, it’s an adult man."
"So my job, around my other duties, is to keep one guy miserable?"
"Think more beige. Being miserable leads to an entirely different problem.”
.
If Bob is depressed, the world ends. If Bob is happy, the world also ends. It's your job to make sure neither of those things happen.
In which Reader is hired on as a medic for The New Avengers and completely fumbles the brief. -

Summary
Tav holds the lute up by the body. It’s broken neck swings sadly, connected only by fraying strings.
“I thought you said you were going to distract the mud mephits,” she says, flat and dry and unimpressed.
You struggle against the suction of the bog. The mud creeps further up your neck as you grunt.
“I did distract them.”
“We sent you in to play a song or something. You threw your lute at them.”
“I mean, they looked pretty surprised to me.”
.
In which the world’s worst bard is dragged on an adventure to save the world and makes it everyone’s problem.(Undergoing edits of first 9 chapters as of November 2025)

Summary
You can see it now. Remedios Giraldo: botanist, anthropologist, explorer extraordinaire, and discoverer of magical towns made of candlelight.
Yeah, right.
....In which Reader is a hapless explorer-type looking for Encanto, but has no idea what to do when she actually finds it. Except shack up with everyone's favourite Rat-Loving Man in the Walls, of course.
Come for the Ratman, stay for the surprising amount of research I had to do to make a character sound smart.

A practical and respectable university student meets a disreputable man who wants to fly. The ending is obvious to anyone not distracted by their own genius, and it's a little further off than it probably should have been.
