    Summary

    He’s spent his whole life in the wheat fields of Aedes Elysiae. There are rivers and lakes, mountains and forests, and beneath the sun, the land turns to gold like alchemy.

    His parents are as healthy as ever, and the village is prospering in trade. There is nothing more that he could ask for in this idyllic world where all of his loved ones are happy.

    But sometimes, when night falls, he looks up at the twinkling cosmos and thinks that something’s missing. Nights like these, Phainon lies down, pillowed by wheat, pinned to the earth under the weight of the vast sky, watching the stars slowly and imperceptibly change, above him and without him.

    Summary

    On the first day of Christmas
    My true love sent to me:
    A partridge in a pear tree

     

    The wine glass slips from her left hand and crashes to the floor in an ear-shattering explosion. Dark red liquid – frigid and insidious – seeps between the gaps in her stockings, dyeing her toes crimson from the outside in. She can’t be bothered to cringe at the unpleasant sensation.

    No, Nene is more preoccupied with dropping the card, clutching her head, and letting out the first wail she’s released since last December.

    (Or: Aoi went missing last Christmas, and the chilling bite of the new year rendered her case cold to the touch. This year, on December first, Nene opens an anonymous Christmas card to find a lock of deep purple hair. Terrified, jaded, and freshly incensed, she teams up with the boy next door to track down her best friend before it's too late.)

    Summary

    She'd woken up in an unrecognizable galaxy, jammed together from spare parts, a Cerberus logo stamped on her ass. She'd been handed a beautiful, expensive, top-of-the-line mockery of her old ship, crewed by beautiful, expensive, top-of-the-line terrorists.

    The Alliance wanted her to shut up and go back to being conveniently dead. Kaidan, it seemed, felt the same way. Anderson was the only family she'd ever had, and he wouldn't even answer her emails.

    And either Shepard's sanity had splintered under the stress, or she was now some kind of unkillable demigod. Or both.

    Summary

    "She's...she's gone?" Furina says, soft and uncertain in a way she's still not sure she's allowed. There's the familiar panic, of course - the surety that she messed up, that the act was slipping; the urge to claw out her composure until it tore her face into a smile. The old fatigue, too, but that had always been the easiest to push down. "Mir– Focalors. The, um, Hydro Archon. She's gone?"

    "...yes," Neuvillette says, with a complex expression. "She was condemned to death by the Oratrice, and bore it's judgment to fulfill the prophecy. Her role in Fontaine has at last concluded, Lady Furina." He looks at her again, gaze softening further. "...as has yours."


    Furina talks to Neuvillette after her trial, after the flood, and after her role is finally over.

    (An extra scene at the end of the 4.2 Archon Quest, before the Traveler meets Neuvillette at the entrance to the Fortress of Meropide)
