Characters: Prue and Darcy

Content warnings: Brief discussion of bad/neglectful parenting, vague mentions of death (specifically Prue’s murder)

Summary: Prue gets an unprecedented afternoon to herself, which is soon interrupted by Darcy mistaking her for Dakota and flirting with her. She corrects him and, embarrassed by his mistake, Darcy agrees to take her out to lunch. The two go to a nearby park, where Darcy buys Prue food and they get to know each other a little better. Darcy proposes that they go out together again sometime, as friends, and Prue is taken aback by the offer, but agrees.

The thrilling conclusion to the Chiron Saga! A three-part event!

CWs: Blood, Gendered Slurs, Explosions, Dismembered Body Parts, Amputation Mentions, Teeth, Discussion of Abusive Relationships, Attempted Suffocation, Physical Violence, Verbal Harassment, Majime Being Majime, Traumatic Episodes, Light Body Horror

Act I: When Naomi Wolfe goes missing, her police escort murdered, Dakota intercepts a concerning - if not familiar - package meant for Silvain. He and Darcy rush to solve Chiron's final puzzles, before something terrible happens to Naomi... or Lilya.

Act II: When the pair finally track down Chiron in an abandoned warehouse, they come face to face with the killer. But matters are complicated when it's revealed that she's taken TWO hostages that night - one of whom is very familiar to the investigators, and far too driven to be left on her own.

Characters: Silvain, Darcy, Or, Reuben, several Tartarus family members (Soren, Musetta, Moore, and Nyx)

Content warnings: Mindfuckery/gaslighting courtesy of Reuben and Or, child endangerment/injury, mentions of self-harm, mentions of eye horror/injury, mentions of human experimentation, a small domestic violence mention if you squint

Summary: Darcy and Silvain attend a fundraiser at the Tartarus mob family’s mansion, undercover as two (engaged) friends of the mayor who are new to El Asilo. They meet Soren, a Tartarus kid with the power of deductive reasoning who sees through their cover stories immediately, but offers to show them around regardless. Soren, Darcy, and Silvain wander through the hedge maze on the mansion grounds, eventually coming across Or and Musetta (and an invisible Reuben) in the center of the maze and getting obnoxiously toyed with for a while. Musetta reveals that they remember Silvain from the Vantage Christmas party, and Darcy high-tails it out of the pool area, Silvain and Soren in tow. 

Back in the maze, Silvain and Darcy question Soren about various aspects of the Tartarus family’s dealings with Vantage, and find out that one of the Tartarus kids (and Nyx’s biological daughter) has lived in a Vantage lab for most of her life due to uncontrollable powers that send anyone near her into a bloodthirsty rage. After a chance run-in with Nyx, who also sees straight through Silvain and Darcy’s covers, Soren takes off and leaves Silvain and Darcy to their own devices for the rest of the event.

Characters: Dakota, Prue, Darcy, and Connie

Content warnings: The full blood/gore/injury trifecta, stitches are given, Prue and Dakota’s deaths are mentioned, Darcy has a panic attack, all three boys cry it out, PDA

Summary: Dakota is badly injured by a villain while out by himself in costume, and Prue takes over, dragging herself home with two crossbow bolts in her body. She texts Darcy, who comes over to treat the wounds, and has a panic attack shortly after, once he’s out of the room. Dakota takes control of the body from Prue again to try and console Darcy - with the help of Connie, who turns up in the apartment midway through the fiasco. The three calm each other down, Dakota gets cleaned up, and they pretty much cry themselves to sleep together after a very intense and stressful evening.

Characters: Silvain/Dakota and Darcy

Content warnings: blessedly none

Summary: Silvain has feelings for Darcy. Darcy has feelings for Silvain. They try to figure out what to do about it. Dakota (debatably) lends invaluable input.
