Summary
“Oh, very charming.” The woman laughs, brushing her hands off on her apron and turning back to the cart. “I hope that wasn’t meant to impress me.”
Verso ignores her question in favour of enjoying the colour in her cheeks. “You didn’t answer my question.”
She sets her crate down and turns right back for another. “I know.”

Summary
“So you do fold then?” Lune taunted with a brow raised as she looked back at him. She maintained the red light in her palm, casting a strange flickering glow on both their features.
“Only tonight.” Verso remarked with a smirk and salt on his lips, softly adding. “Though, I do have an eye for beautiful things.”
Three years following Verso’s last concert, Lune has a series of encounters with him on the continent.

Summary
Verso saw Maelle's fate in his mother's heartbreaking descent into all-consuming obsession. He didn't want this for her. His decision was clear. The canvas had to be erased. And he got his say. It was being erased before his very eyes. But... why wasn't he? Why was he... being pulled out into reality?
[ In an anguished whisper, he exhaled, “I’m tired… I’m so tired… I can finally rest now. I know this is hurting you. But can you be happy for me? Just a little? In your own big world… in your little room… would you think of me and spare a smile for me? Would you remember me as I am, not as you wished me to be?”
Heaving one last sigh, Verso closed his eyes. He was finally at peace. He could feel the beginning of his own disintegration.
But then…
In a last ditch effort, Maelle threw her arms around his neck and clung. Hard. He could feel her nails digging into his skin.
“I’m not letting you go,” she promised, half devoted, half feral. ]

Summary
Gustave let go of a heavy sigh and nodded his head. Back in the Stone Wave Cliffs, he had come to peace that this was where his journey ended—For those who come after, right?—but it seemed like his story wasn't done just yet. Maelle had, somehow, given him another lease on life, and this time, he could live it. He could grow old. He could do things simply for the sake of doing them; every waking moment didn't have to be dedicated to trying to solve the issue with the Paintress, with preserving their civilization.

Summary
What if, in a pivotal moment, Verso had made a different decision? What if Renoir had not bothered to ensure Gustave was actually dead and had just left after making his point to Maelle? What if Expedition 33 had left the Stone Wave Cliffs before a certain handsome, brooding stranger could reveal himself?
Verso, after dragging a half-dead Gustave away from the cliff that would have been his eternal resting place in another life, now has to deal with the consequences of his actions.
Gustave, heavily injured and stranded in Nevron-infested lands without the support of his friends, needs to learn how to trust and rely on a stranger who looks suspiciously similar to the man who attempted to kill him.Bookmarked by Seemscomplicated

Summary
“Well,” Maelle asks brightly, “what did you think?”
The pianist seemed familiar, somehow, though he is quite certain they’d never actually met before.
“His music was very beautiful,” is what Gustave eventually settles on, “but he seemed - a little sad. Didn’t he?”

Summary
“Wow,” Ellie breathed, her face turned up to the triceratops skeleton, “It’s super big.”
“His name is Cliff,” Tess read off from the plaque, “He’s 65 million years old.”
“That’s not as old as sharks,” She said.
“Not quite,” She agreed, “But it’s still cool.”
Ellie nodded, still transfixed, “Super mega cool.”

Summary
After the war, Peeta seems comfortable with carrying on as if things are normal.
Katniss tries to do the same, but her attempts at maintaining normalcy all fail spectacularly. She avoids her growing daughter like the plague, unable to look into her eyes and see anyone but Prim, Rue, and all the other children who lost their lives in the war. She cannot romanticize any of it—does not have the ability to crouch down before the girl she birthed and pretend that the world around her is a kind, forgiving place.
Katniss tries to adjust to life after the war.

Summary
Her lips ticked into a sickening smirk.
“Cat got your tongue, Piltie?”
“How dare you-” Caitlyn's snarling yell wasn’t far off Ionora’s but it was unfortunately cut off by a familiar exasperated voice.
“Cadet Kiramman, Cadet Lanes. Stop this at once, it's childish.” She straightened immediately and turned. Grayson stood a few metres behind her, there was a look in her eye Caitlyn couldn't quite place. A way off she could see her huge black dragon, Ahri, hunched over where she must’ve landed while Caitlyn and Vi were distracted.
“Yes Commander, sorry for disturbing.”
“Sure thing, Commander.” Vi replied casually. Then under her breath as she passed Caitlyn to stand by their instructor, scarred lip twitching with that smug smirk she practically owned at this point, “suck up much, Cupcake?” Caitlyn bit her tongue to stop the retort that rose in her throat.
I hate that nickname.

Summary
"Regretting the words even as they leave her mouth, she says, “We’re looking for the Fireflies. You should come with us.”
The girl narrows her eyes. “There are no more Fireflies.”
“Yeah, well there might be. In California.”
She smiles wryly. “Might be.”
“It’s the best fucking chance we have, okay? Are you in or not?”
Her shoulders shake as she laughs quietly. “Not. Not with you.” She spits out the last word and her eyebrows are drawn together. So there is still some fight in her.
“Great,” Abby says. “That’s great. Well, we have a boat at the aquarium. I think you know how to find that, right? You’ve been there before?” Abby laces the words with hate.
The girl glares at her.
“We’re leaving first thing tomorrow. Show up or don’t— I really don’t care.” Abby turns to leave. She hears Lev behind her. She doesn’t look back. "---
Or: Dina and Jesse both die in Seattle, and a broken Ellie is reminded that, hell, if she's planning on dying, there's more useful ways to do it. Abby and Lev's journey to the Fireflies, now including Ellie.
