Archipelago

Summary:

“Where are we?”
“The Wide Seas, my lord.”

Cliopher and his Radiancy wake to find themselves alone on island.

Notes:

This is a series of drabbles I was working on before ATFOTS came out. After that we had a canon version of "Kip and Fitzroy wash up on an island," and also the characterization started to feel a bit dated, so I never ended up coming back to it. As a result, most of the plotty parts of this where they find their way back again never got written, and it ends somewhat abruptly. That said, I pulled this today up in response to a call for fluff in the discord, and decided I liked it enough to post what I have anyway as a series of vignettes. It's not impossible that i come back and write more of this someday, but I don't have any immediate plans to do so.

Chapter 1

Chapter Text

Cliopher heard the sound of the waves lapping the shore. The air smelled of the Wide Seas. Beneath him he felt the soft white sand. 

Where was the Tui-tanata?

But no. He didn’t wear a grass skirt, he wore the red and black robes newly granted as a reward for Littleridge. He had just been admiring his Radiancy’s tapestry and thinking about home. His lord had called out, Cliopher had met the blazing lion eyes, and then…

He looked at where he found himself. His eye caught on something sparkling gold. There, lying prone in the sand, was the Sun-on-Earth.
