    Summary

    What Laudna wants: a little cottage somewhere, a flower garden. She wants to try keeping chickens, because she thinks it would be wonderful to have fresh eggs and it would be fun to break their necks. She wants Imogen there; she wants Imogen’s boots by the door, Imogen’s loose hairs trod into all the carpets. She wants carpets. She doesn’t want Imogen’s feet to get cold.

    But this isn’t that world. Instead they are here, and Imogen is General Temult, and the gods are picked-clean bones, and the only person Laudna loves is on this side of the door, and everyone else is outside.

    Summary

    Wednesday wakes up from being stabbed in the neck with a hypodermic needle, which is a surprise. She has a pounding headache and an issue with focusing her eyes that means it takes her a dangerously long time to figure out what she’s looking at.

    “You’re supposed to be in prison,” Wednesday says before her brain can catch up with her mouth and tell it that ‘you’re supposed to be in prison’ is a stupid thing to say to someone who is, evidently, not in prison.

    [Wednesday is a semester and a half into her tenure at Nevermore, and people keep trying to kill her. It’s not that she doesn’t appreciate the effort. It’s just that she has better things to do than try to teach people how to do murder properly.]

    Summary

    "Can you take her?" Keyleth blurts out, because if she doesn't ask now she'll never ask. "She needs a home. Someone who can help her understand. There's no one else I would trust."

    "You know I would in a heartbeat."

    But there's something in Vex's eyes, something in the weight of her words, that gives away the ranger's next words before they even leave her lips- "But you know that she already has a home."

    or, i started thinking about "what if laudna grew up in whitestone in its glory" and "what if imogen had a support system that didn't give up on her when she was little" and i also wanted to write a love letter to vex and kiki AND imodna

    Summary

    "Moving will disrupt this frozen time, prove that hours have passed, which will stretch into days, and Imogen Temult has never had to live days without Laudna."

    or

    Laudna is gone, and so is Imogen. At least the Imogen they knew. The Calm Emotions spell is all she has left.

    Summary

    On a long list of terrible ideas, Imogen reflected, this particular choice on her part really took the top spot.

    Her therapy session that week had gone well. Really well, actually. So well that when her therapist had suggested Imogen "take a small step out of her comfort zone", Imogen had seized her rare confidence and decided she’d visit a coffee shop.

    A loud coffee shop. Open to the public.

    One with other people in it, to be clear.
