some meta-er fanart below the cut

Characters: Ashen/Lucas

Summary: Ashen, Lucas and the importance of quiet comforts on a sleepless night.

On some nights, Ashen never wakes when Lucas goes unnaturally still in his arms. On others, he pretends he doesn’t, hoping his mere presence is enough to bring Lucas comfort. He has never been good at ignoring signs of distress, however. It goes against his very nature to stand by and watch someone suffer in silence, especially Lucas, so most nights, he leans down as gently as he can and presses his lips to the top of Lucas’s head to let him know he’s awake and there for him if he wants to talk.

Characters: Ashen/Lucas, Ellory, Falmouth, Daemys

Summary: Ashen doesn't know why Lucas would sacrifice himself for him - only that he would have done the same if their roles had been reversed.

Ashen is prepared for the flash of pain he knows will come when he steps between Ellory and the blast of magic. He is prepared for the lingering shocks of electricity that are going to radiate from his chest to the very tips of his fingers and down his legs to his toes, scorching and red-hot. He is prepared for the blinding agony to last for several minutes until it slowly ebbs, knowing it will never quite go away even after it abates and making his peace with it. What he is not prepared for is for Lucas to push him out of the way at the very last second and step into the path of the spell himself.

Characters: Ashen/Lucas, Ellory, Falmouth, Daemys

Summary: Lucas makes another wish.

“Do we have a deal?” “We have,” the Voice booms. “A voice for a wish.” A gentle calm settles over Lucas then, and for the first time in months, his mind falls blissfully quiet. He doesn’t feel relief – only emptiness, devoid of fear and longing and loneliness. It’s silent and peaceful; like an oasis in the middle of the desert. He made it. His quest is finally over.
