    Summary

    “Think about it,” Sausage prompted. “What is the number one reason why you wouldn’t pursue someone?”

    “Uh,” Apo thought about it. “Because it would distract me from my mission of protecting the princess?”

    Gently, the mage patted the back of Apo’s hand, as if soothing someone after a great loss. “I was hoping you would say, ‘because they’re already taken,’ but everybody’s different.”

    “Well, yeah, of course,” Apo scoffed, yanking away. “A person that already has a partner couldn’t even be considered—”

    She went still.

    “No,” she whispered. “No, there’s no way you’re suggesting that.”

    - or -

    Fearful that Cherri might draw the attention of unfit suitors during their stay in Bannerfall, Apo decides to spread some harmless rumors. After all, who would go after a princess that was already in a committed relationship?

    Summary

    Cherri blinked. “…What is that?”
    “A potion,” the old woman said lightly.
    “I assumed,” Cherri replied. “What kind?”
    The woman tilted her head. “A love potion.”
    Cherri’s expression tightened with polite disbelief. “You’re selling… love potions… in the middle of the market.”
    “Not selling,” the woman corrected. “Offering.”
    Cherri hesitated. “To me?”
    “You looked like someone who might need it,” the old woman said.

    Summary

    “Wherever you go, I follow, my lady.”
    Apokuna had said it so simply, so seriously, after Cherri had wandered too close to the outer gates weeks ago. No teasing, no dramatics, just a promise delivered like an unbreakable fact.
    Cherri had laughed then, waved it off like it meant nothing.
    Now it echoed in her head, looping like a song she couldn’t stop humming. Each repetition made her heart flutter just a little more, made the balcony feel a little too far away from the training yard below.
    Her gaze lingered on Apokuna once more.

    And that was when an idea, terrible, wonderful, absolutely reckless, sparked to life.

    Summary

    The attacks keep happening.

    Jax is hanging on by a thread. An increasingly tenuous thread that’s threatening to snap at any given moment. He’s beginning to hope for it, if only for the pain to stop.

    And then there’s Pomni. Stupidly earnest and recklessly kind Pomni.

    Summary

    It was only two days after the gun adventure, two days after their fight, two days after Jax was sure he’d ruined everything, that Pomni sat next to him again. Not just at meals when everyone’s seats were practically assigned by an unspoken routine of weeks-months-years-built habit that was rarely strayed from, not just in adventures when Caine’s powers and the circumstances they were subjected to forced close proximity, but by choice, by purpose, by want.

    She’d interrupted his failing efforts to let the ceiling's migraine-inducing neon colors drive the endless stream of thoughts out of his mind by carefully sitting next to him. She was kind enough to leave a little over a foot of space between them, but he could still feel the way the cushion dipped under her weight, still hear the deafeningly soft jingle of the bells on her hat as she settled, still taste the nauseating self-loathing bitterness her presence stained his mouth with as the memory of everything he’d said to her bubbled up in his throat like bile.

    OR After their fight, Pomni keeps finding ways to be near Jax, never saying anything, just existing next to him. At the end of another long shift at Spudsy's, they finally talk.
