*This fountain is a crucial set piece.

Inspired by THIS and THIS.

READ HERE but please read “To Any God Who Will Listen” Chapter Two first!

“Now the sky is turning dark

And the wind is turning chill

And the Fates are out for blood

They've been cheated of their kill

Note: Happy Valentine’s Day!

I’m finally continuing this piece because I now know it works best when paired with my other, more recent story, “A Bargain of Souls” which will focus more on Hitomi’s role in saving Folken’s life. I had originally planned to put a FolkenxEries chapter in that story but it felt a bit weird and when I revisited this one, I decided that it would work better as an added chapter to this story instead.

So please do read both this story and “A Bargain of Souls” to get a better sense of the grand picture I’m trying to paint, if that makes any sense.

This scene is set just as Folken has been injured by the shard of his sword. While Hitomi negotiates with the Fates, someone else comes to Folken’s aid.

CHAPTER ONE: FOLKEN

This is for  @yearlyesca’s Pic’n’Fic, with the prompt “Memories,” for my partner @quietduna. 

This is a Folken and Eries fic (of course) greatly inspired by “In a Crowd of Thousands” from Anastasia the musical so I lifted the title from there because I couldn’t think of anything better. I’ve had the idea for this fic since I got obsessed with the song last year and I couldn’t help but see it in a FolkenxEries context and it fit with the prompt so this was a perfect opportunity to finally write this.

 Posting Folken’s POV today (Independence Day!) and will be posting Eries’ POV before the 15th. 

CHAPTER TWO: ERIES

Here’s the second and final chapter of my Yearly Esca entry, more from Eries’s point of view and with the main action of the song. Something light and breezy, for a change.
