    Summary

    John wakes up A— first.

    “Who are you?” is the first thing he says.

    It hurts. As much as John had prepared himself for this eventuality, as much as he had hoped and feared that their memories would not return, as necessary as it is that A— forgets everything — it still hurts, to be forgotten.

    “I’m John,” John says gently.

    “John,” A— repeats dumbly. “John.”

    And then he collapses into John’s arms and bursts into tears in a way that John has never seen, not even at the end of the world. He’s bawling, weeping, shouting, and screaming, all incoherent sounds of grief. He wails like a newborn child, not knowing why he weeps, only that he must.

    “John,” A— moans mournfully as he clings to John like a lifeline. “John. John. Where is M—? Where is my brother?”

    ---

    Or: The Resurrection, from John’s perspective.

    How now, you secret, black, and midnight hags Saints? What is ’t you do?

    Summary

    Cytherea the First was not meant to become a Lyctor. Cytherea the First was not even meant to become a necromancer, not really. Cytherea the First was meant to die while she was still young and beautiful and tragic, where people could talk about how green her eyes had been and how lovely her smile once was for years to come.

    But that wasn't what happened. So how did she get here?

    Summary

    ‘Do you believe it?’ M--- asks, cautious, almost incredulous. It seems a bit absurd to her, all that stuff about dying on the cross and rising from the dead and the miracles of the blood and the body.

    ‘I believe that what I believe does not matter all that much,’ C--- answers. ‘I believe that we are not called to understand God. We are called to serve.’

    M--- leans back on her hands against the dirty concrete. She mulls that statement over, feels its shape in her mouth.

    ‘Yes,’ she finally says. ‘Yes, I agree with that.’

    Summary

    Mercymorn survived god's assassination. What now?
    She went from Gaius' right hand to a discounted babysitter for a dead necromancer, Pyrrha Dve, a girl who keeps bringing her dead boyfriend back and her ex-pupil who might or might not be some kind of eldritch abomination. She hates it here and she is very vocal about it. As the glowing orb in the sky grows heavier with each passing day, Mercymorn sees visions of loved ones long lost and of the horrors to come, she is forced to face the question whether she is simply insane or there are more skeletons hiding in the closet.

    The "Mercy lives and joins them in Nona the Ninth" AU.

    Summary

    “Please,” said Cristabel. “I need to blow off steam or I’m going to explode.”
    “And you’re sure you want me?”
    “I’m asking, aren’t I?”
    “We’ve never sparred before.”
    “First time for everything.”
    “I might kick your ass, Oct.”
    She grinned. “I hope so.”

    Summary

    Finally, Alfred wheezes out, “Mercy! Mercy, please, ahaha!”

    Begging for mercy is Augustine’s cue to stop. Thus satisfied with his revenge, he gradually slows to a stop. He doesn’t register the footsteps behind him, much lighter than Cristabel’s should be, until it’s too late.

    “Fine, but just this once,” says the most hateful person in the universe, affecting a put-upon tone like she’s making some sort of charitable sacrifice.

    That familiar irritating voice is the only warning Augustine gets before a hand lands roughly on his shoulder, and then he just about falls over as his body seizes with laughter.

    Or: Alfred begs Mercy to save him from a tickle fight. She agrees to help, at Augustine’s great expense.

    Summary

    The day that it happens, Mercymorn breaks her favorite coffee mug.

    It’s frankly, an absurd detail to focus on, but it sticks inside her mind for centuries, nevertheless. Her world shatters apart, and her favorite sunflower yellow mug cracks and splinters into clay shards.

    The color yellow still makes her queasy, millennia later.

    Summary

    Mercymorn was the first to crack the theory of God’s immortality alongside Cassiopeia. Augustine, later - when it doesn’t matter anymore -, will say it was him and Cassiopeia, but Mercymorn kept the carefully dated paperwork with her. After all, it was, in all but name, Cristabel’s death certificate.

    Podfic of you made it (you played it) by Marenke.
