    Summary

    The cat brushes past her, hitting her in the face with its still damp tail, getting hair in Katie’s mouth and nose. She gags, splutters, and sneezes violently. The cat, apparently, does not care.

     

    Following it into Bek’s apartment, she finds, as she enters the kitchen, a person who must be the cat, because Katie hadn’t let any other scowling visitors in, with a tin of tuna and a thick slab of bread in their hands. They’re scooping chunks of tuna out of the tin, alternating between eating it by the handful, and spreading it across the nice sourdough bread Bek had picked up that morning.

     

    Or, AU where Kitty can turn from human to cat and Katie has some unresolved sibling problems to deal with.

    Summary

    After a... failed... trip to the Blue Kingdom, she ends up being cared for by the one person she expected not to care.

    Or, to better quote my extremely rough notes
    “Katie is sick she has the ill oh no”

    Summary

    It’s so easy to kill someone with their helmet down, Nom has realised.

    But when you’re born of the same soil, suddenly you see their face everywhere in the place you once called home.

     

    Seeing the cliffs of the kingdom made Nom’s skin crawl beneath his armour.

    He steered the sail towards the beach, wanting anything but to see his homeland again, and yet being unable to look away.

    Part of him had hoped that war had torn it apart while he was gone, that he would come back to a ruin, a place he could fit in, that would match how he felt inside now.

    But it remained unchanged.

    It was only Nom who was different.

    Summary

    Your life is not your own: this is your oldest truth, your foundation.

    You learned it first at three years old, when your mother arranged your arms to hold your newborn sister in your lap, and whispered to you the words that would change you. This is your sister, Nom, you still hear her say in your dreams. You'll take care of her, won't you?

    You promised, and you meant it, and you failed; but you tried. Oh, you tried. Katie looks at you now with fear in her eyes. She tries to hide it, looking down at the table, but she can't stop glancing up at you between dice rolls. You look away, trying to make it easier on her. There's so much you want to tell her, so much you still want to talk to her about, but the words get tangled up on the branches growing inside you, caught in your throat, building into one silent, desperate cry: I love you, I love you, I love you, I'm sorry. It's for the best; there's nothing you can say that won't hurt her more.

    -

    Nom, what he's made to be, and what he chooses to do.
