Summary
The narrative has it's strings
Puppet lines running through all that lives and all the breathes, tugging them into Stories, pulling them into Roles.
The universe collects stories, collects people, collects concepts and tropes. Collects tales and people and names and lives.
The Mechanisms are made to watch, made to observe these tales. Made to tell them too, to sing and write and scream these stories to the stars and all that would ever want to listen.

Summary
“Would it help to talk about them?” Jonny suggests, pressing his cheek to the top of Brian’s head.
“About who?” Brian sniffles.
“The people,” Jonny replies, as if it’s obvious. “I assume there were people you cared about, and I assume they all died horrific and utterly preventable deaths? It helps to sing about them. Or just talk. Work it through, y’know?”

Summary
She doesn’t recognize the woman at the bars– a tall, thin woman wearing a white lab coat and an eye patch, dark hair chopped short, looking at her with an unnerving intensity. “I can bring you to her. If you’re married before the king can intervene, the law will protect you, and you can be with her.”
“I– who are you?”
The woman’s face twists into a slight ironic smile. “At the moment, your godmother.”
Dr. Carmilla steps into the role of the fairy godmother for Cinders. That's it that's the fic.
Written for Dr. Carmilla Appreciation Week!

Summary
“Tim,” Marius snaps, squinting at the unfortunate and rather bloodied man of the same name, “You crashed our ship!”
“I did not either!” Tim crosses his arms over an ash and smokestained vest. He has just staggered out of their starshuttle.
Or... well. What used to be their starshuttle. It’s a pile of smouldering metallic star scrap now.
“You were the one steering, Mari,” Tim argues, “I just got distracted!”
“You didn’t shoot the asteroid, Tim! That was your one job! Shooting the asteroids!”
“Well, Marius, you were supposed to tell me they were coming!”
“Brian was on radar, Tim! Not me!”
“Brian was taking a piss!”
“He can take a piss?”
“Yes??”
“Since when,” Marius steps forward, accusatory, jabs a finger at Tims' chest. “Can Brian take a piss?”otherwise, tim and marius crash the shuttle, get arrested, and marius sings a few songs that he never quite meant to sing.

Or: New Midgardians are kind of elvish-looking, and Lyf's death count rises quickly after they join the Mechanisms.
