    Summary

    A knight died, so that a lord could rise.

    A slime has lost something precious, and when he returns, time has moved on without him. With nothing keeping him there, he wanders until he finds a place unlike any he has encountered before.

    Maybe what's lost can be found again.

    (AKA The author saw the dappled forest was v Derek-colored and got ideas.)

    Summary

    Avery has taken a job as a Fire Lookout during wildfire season on a nice, secluded island, and it's great! Friendly people, stunning nature, a colleague who works in the lighthouse who clearly cares enough to talk Avery through the first night on the job-

    It's pretty great, if you look past The Horrors.

    Unfortunately, said Horrors are quite persistent.

    (Sibling fic of 'The stranger in the lookout' By Poker. Read their story to get Derek's POV of the events)

    Summary

    Watch the ferry come in. Make the call. Give them the truth, and watch how long they can live with it. Watch the ferry come in, rinse, repeat.

    It’s a pattern Derek has been living for a long time. As the lighthouse keeper, part of his role is to be the voice over the radio, telling the fire lookout everything they need to know. He’s gotten used to the pattern. First meetings, last meetings, repeat.

    With a new season starting, he doesn’t see why anything will change.

    (Sibling fic of ‘The Stranger in the Lighthouse by Kindryte! That one has Avery’s POV of this story.)
