Summary
A fall from the tree to the glade's ground at this height was already enough to splatter his small body. But he wouldn't hit that ground. Not here, hanging over the edge of a mountain with nothing but nothing and more nothing for miles and miles and -
His breath stuttered.
His heart pounded so loud he couldn't hear the wind anymore.
He tried to shift. His foot scraped uselessly against the trunk, bark biting at his skin.
And then - the branch snapped.
OR
During Vax’s year in Zephrah, he meets a stubborn halfling boy named Orym, determined to become a hero. The world may not make room for someone so small - but Vax knows what it’s like to be told you're almost something. And what it means to become more.

Summary
Picking up from the end of C3 E121 in Zephrah. First person from Keyleth's perspective.
First chapter is a retelling of two scenes from the epilogue portions of the episode, the remaining fic will be a continuation/speculation fic.
I will be adding more characters and tags as the story continues per my usual pattern.I am pre-emptively marking this as explicit rating because I know myself and even if I say I'm not going to write smut, I'm probably going to write smut.

Summary
For what was probably the millionth time that week, Keyleth wished people would stop tiptoeing around her like she was the last fragile leaf on a snow-covered tree. They murmured condolences, then promptly avoided her like the plague as she sat on the bench staring at the Raven Tree of the Ashari.
It was the anniversary of the Whispered One’s defeat.
Which meant it was also the anniversary of Vax’s life getting stolen away by the Matron.
-----------------
Keyleth and Verin bond in Zephrah, and also maybe have a heart-to-heart about grieving the deaths of people who aren't really dead.

Summary
Nothing connects Orym more to his culture and his people than pulling summer from dew-coated capsules or smiling in time with a sudden blossom, but after Will's funeral, flowers have a new meaning.

Summary
The world is ending on a rolling basis. Orym’s druid monarch declared you a titan of blood and she looked afraid. You’re allowed to fuck your friends. Fuck knows you might not have another chance.
Fearne sighs, content, and rests her chin on her hand (which means digging an elbow into your collarbone like a chisel). “You know, you’d make a really good god. No pressure, just something to consider.”

Summary
There are some days, some hours, some moments when Orym thinks the tide of emotions flooding through his body might just wash him away. In those moments his only choice is to dig his feet into the shifting sand, breathe deep and hold as the waves crash over his head.
It’s not working like it used to.
But that was before.

Summary
When the spell rips itself free from her body and hurls hail and lightning and cold, furious air out into the world, Keyleth listens. The wind screams, louder than a heartbeat. The stars, quiet before the thunder, are devoured. The wind whips fierce claws through Keyleth’s chest. Louder, it whispers. We have to be louder.
(Keyleth, Derrig, Orym, and the wind that welcomes them home)

Summary
Orym is a prince. Dorian is a runaway.
Their paths cross in Zephrah.
-
“I didn’t know you were a guard,” he says, and there’s something in his voice that Dorian almost mistakes for disdain. It doesn’t match his expression, though, so he tries to brush it aside.
“Recent development,” Dorian answers, smile faltering. “Is- is something wrong?”
“What-,” Orym starts, confused, then shakes his head, “No, no, I just- thought I knew all the guards.”
At that, it’s Dorian’s turn to look confused. Orym spots it and shrugs before explaining.
“You know, I am the prince."

Summary
And when Laudna looked at her, with those big black beautiful eyes. When Laudna softly said her name, like she deserved the whole world and then more. When Laudna held her hand, hugged her through the night, gently cupped her cheeks and wiped her tears after her red-filled nightmares…
I wish… I wish she would be mine.
I wish she loved me in the way I love her.
