you and me and this bonfire makes three [Side story after 'Monarchs in Flight', AU Fray!Warrior of Light. Set during Eden 1-4.] "Listen," Gaia began, resolutely not making eye contact. "You need to make amends with the Crystal Exarch."

1 The Lantern Jar [Set pre-Shadowbringers, spoilers, Sadu/Cirina slowburn.] Tapping her nails against the rim of her cup, Sadu deliberated over which nuances might be best to strike at first. "Speak again of these terms which have bound you." "Six gifts in full," Cirina replied.

1 cognitive bias [Set during Bozja, spoilers, a IVth Legion short.] Fabineau doubted that Clarricie quo Priscus even knew about the monoceros's powers to begin with.

even the strongest among us [Set after MSQ 5.3, background unrequited Runar/Y'shtola. A Runar and Lyna short.] "There is a, a flavor that these ingredients impart which may not be found in other lands," Runar said. "I fear that... Master Matoya may miss it."

unicorns for those who have none [Set at the start of Bozja, spoilers through MSQ 5.5 and for all Field Notes. Minor references to animal cruelty and death. A Clarricie quo Priscus and IVth Legion beastmaster fic.] Clarricie dreamed of unicorns when she was little. Then the Garleans came, and her husband perished soon after, and Clarricie stopped thinking about unicorns at all - until she saw the monoceros.

1 A Lion's Pride [Set several years pre-game, spoilers. Warnings for pet health / animal care, mild Lyon/Menenius pre-relationship, Lyon character study.] The squirming lump of feathers in the soldier's hands is a miserable thing. No bigger than a hyur's pot helm, its ragged wings droop like broken flags across either side of the man's gloves, glossy feathers gone grey with dust.

the severance of his tendons [Set before the Final Days through just before 5.0, spoilers through 5.4 MSQ, Fandaniel/Nabriales. Fandaniel character study.] Fandaniel dies three times before the Convocation succeeds in properly rejoining a shard to the Source. By the time Emet-Selch finds and revives him for another round, they have also figured out how to make certain he remembers it all.

they take what you have [Set pre-game, spoilers through 5.3, Elidibus and Emet-Selch and Lahabrea.] Elidibus makes lists for himself when no one is watching.

1 The Color of Her Eyes [Set during MSQ ARR, spoilers through ARR and for Thancred's backstory, f!WoL/Thancred.] It began as a game. That was what Thancred reminded himself of, later.

2 Ghosts Such as We [Spoilers through MSQ 5.3, set between 5.0 and 5.3, f!WoL/Exarch.] After nearly a hundred years of preparing himself to die, the Crystal Exarch must come to terms with suddenly wanting to live.
