    Summary

    There is a vague thought of proper courtship, somewhere in Isobel's mind. But there is also a room vacant at Last Light Inn—a perfect sanctuary, far away from anyone who might deign to interrupt and drag in with themselves the rest of the world—on a night mercifully relieved of the beckonings of duty.

    A few tendays after their fateful meeting, both Aylin and Isobel decide they are quite done with restraint and yearning.

    Summary

    "Good evening, Captain."

    The stack of papers in Fiyero’s arms dropped to the floor.

    Elphaba—alive, impossibly alive—stood half-hidden in the shadows of Glinda’s sitting room. If she hadn’t spoken, he might have walked right past her.

    Obligatory "while on the run, Elphaba is injured and must go to her friends in the Emerald City for help" fic. Now with more Thropple. (Rating for character injury)

    Summary

    Beau begins by sighing exasperatedly, which is typically not ideal for selling a pitch, but what the fuck, right? “I wanted to ask you,” she says, carefully now, “If you would maybe be interested in working with the Cobalt Soul. In a more, uh, official capacity. Like with a salary and everything, or whatever.”

    There is a silence which is somehow worse than the silence that they were sitting in before. Essek makes a small sound that must be unconscious, sort of like a death rattle. Beau didn’t know such an undignified noise was in his repertoire.

    Summary

    It is a mild night in Nicodranas, and Veth is considering slamming the door in Essek’s face.

    He’s wearing a Disguise that she hasn’t seen before and an expression that warns of future vomit. He says, shivering, “Um. Hello. Please help me?”

    Veth, who is beginning to wish that she hadn’t answered the door in her skimpiest robe, attempts to surreptitiously cross her arms over her cleavage. She says, remarkably pleasantly, “Are you fucking insane?”

    Summary

    “We ventured too far, considering our unexpectedly low number.” Essek turns his face against the light, as if to let it cleanse some unwanted quality from his expression. Instead, he looks carved in bone, immortalized in frowning marble. “There were … traps. Perfectly clever ones. Still functioning.”

    —--------

    Essek tries and fails and tries to save the man he loves.
