Summary
There was no Haurchefant, with his happy, welcoming smile, his words of comfort whenever she came to him, anymore. No more hot chocolate, spiced with a hint of rum to warm her up. No stories by the hearth, his raucous laughter as she told him of her latest escapade, the look of disappointment in his face when he knew she could do better and had chosen not to. No more warm meals in the midst of the frozen Highlands, no more words of encouragement or unwavering support. She would never feel his love and affection, pure and simple in their earnestness, again.
He was gone. Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.
Haurchefant was dead.
-----
The aftermath of The Vault and the following traumatic meltdown from the point of view of Haurchine Greystone, The Warrior of Light and the twin sister of Haurchefant Greystone.

Summary
Cecio was 10 when the cold descended and his hair started turning white, he was 15 when the dragons descended on Ishguard, his home was destroyed and the last of his roots went white. A week later he stood in front of Count Fortemps and claimed him as his father so his mother would have somewhere to live. Now he is a knight who lives in the shadow of his silver haired older half brother, their close appearance haunting him as he is both loved in his brothers place and hated for seeming to try and take it.
One secret trip to Providence Point finds him encountering the Warrior of Light, the woman he had tried so hard to avoid lest his appearance cruelly reopen her wounds. Cecio ponders how he got there, family and the weight of grief as he learns that maybe he should have trusted the Warrior more, and maybe just maybe they can help each other. Even a paladin needs protection, as his brother well knew, and adventuring seems like an interesting way of life.

Summary
The consequences of his actions, of course, are that he will be quite unable to serve as her protector for some time… or as Doctor Whitecape so ominously put it, that he will be lucky if he were ever able to wield the shield of House Fortemps ever again. Of course Haurchefant does not believe such things, cannot believe it. Who is he if not a knight of his House? Who will he be to his dearest Homura if he can no longer protect her? No, he has to recover, he must, he will.
It is all just happening so terribly slowly.

Summary
“Estinien.” Aymeric whispered. “Haurchefant, will he…?”
“I don’t know,” Estinien replied, truthfully. “They didn’t seem too optimistic.” There was no use hiding the truth from him.
“If he dies…”
“Then he died fulfilling his duty. He is a knight as am I. As are you. He swore to protect Ishgard with his life and that’s what he did.”
“Ishgard. Not me. You shouldn’t have come for me. None of you should’ve put your life at risk for me, least of all the Warrior.”
OR: A post-Vault fix-it fic. It almost feels like an initiaion rite.
