    Summary

    “I think we need to talk.”

    Aventurine curled up. He whispered, “I know. I’m not good enough, and I just make things harder for Veritas. I get it.”

    Kaveh and Alhaitham both looked taken aback. “What? No! We wanted to talk to Veritas.”

    “Veritas, I swear to fucking god, you better keep him. And if you hurt him? You will be disowned.”

    or: aventurine needs a hug (as always), haikaveh is protective, ratio is confused, and aventurine gets his hugs (and some parental figures, too.)

    Summary

    The cruelest thing about the Nameless was that they made it so easy to pretend that Sunday belonged. They fed that greedy, stupid, childish thing that cried out from within him, tossing enough scraps of amity for him to piece them together into something that felt like home. The curtains only closed when Sunday lay awake at night and stared at the ceiling of the bedroom that wasn’t really his, and he remembered that it started like this and could only end like this: with him, alone in the dark.

    Sunday is found by the Astral Express Crew after fleeing Penacony. He accepts their offer to join, and realizes that

    a. fitting into this tight-knit group is likely impossible
    b. trouble finds the Trailblazers no matter where they go.

    or, the chronicle of the Astral Express trying, failing, and trying again to fit Sunday into their family.

    Russian translation (courtesy of the lovely K_A_M_A) can be found here!
