Summary
Thjazi Fang appears back on the surface of Aramán one day, back in Aranessa's life, like it's nothing—like there aren't nearly two decades of pain and endless heartbreak and his real, literal death festering between them. Aranessa stares at him for a long, silent moment, eyes wide and body frozen, before calmly coming to the underwhelming conclusion that she has gone completely insane.
(Thjazi is a ghost. This changes everything, and also nothing.)

it was a march we made towards ruin and despair (but we held hands all the while) by weareallstardustfallen

Summary
Aranessa hadn't stopped shaking.
Julien thought, or maybe just hoped, that it had eased a little after she'd eaten. She'd curled up in bed without argument, beneath the druid-warmed blanket, but even facing away from him, he could tell she wasn't asleep. Her breathing had the faintest little shudder to it, and her grip on the blanket was a little too tight.
Julien watched the shift of her shoulders and the dense fall of her hair in the dark and felt utterly helpless.
Or: Lying together in the dark, Julien tries to take care of his lady as best he can, and maybe needs a little caring for himself.

Summary
Her name is Vaelus – this, she remembers – and her sister had freckles, maybe, and her mother screamed as she died, and the halls of her family are empty and dark. She has a part to play in this story, and she wishes, wishes, wishes oh so desperately that it could be one that would forgive her sins, that it could be one that would allow her to make up for it all.
She swallows her grief like water.
By now, she has gotten used to it – the coldness and the heavy weight upon her shoulder – and yet she doesn’t think she ever will. By now, she is beginning to grasp what the word ‘grief’ – rotten and bitter in her mouth – fully means. By now, what's left of her family has begun to make plans, desperate ones, to somehow find meaning in life other than pain, to return the world, their world, back to what they loved so dearly.
Vaelus cares in the sense that she would do anything, at this point, for no reason at all.
For whom then, if not for them and not for her mother either?
For nobody, she thinks. For herself.
