Summary
The mute crash of the ground against Finley’s side held a long, trembling chord, screaming out a bruise against her ribs. The silence swallowed all sense, till the ringing in her ears said a great clamour had spawned it. Understanding she didn’t realise she’d lost trickled back in. She forced herself to open her eyes.
The world was sideways. Smoke filled the air, and the air itself shone amber-gold as magic, free of crystal and witch, burnt and dissipated. Her cheek was cold, wet, pressed to the snow the illusion had not melted.
People moved around her. Someone grabbed her shoulder, shaking her. Finley could not parse what was before her, what the strange, hulking shape laid at the ruins of the twin columns was. Bringing up a trembling hand, she wiped at her face.
Snow, dirt, and blood.

Summary
“About that,” Vi says. “How’d you end up here? What did a girl like you do to get tossed into this two-star shithole?”
“Really? That’s how you ask? No subtlety in it?”
“Uh, yeah? I saved you from getting shanked in the shower, so fair’s fair. What’s your deal, topside?”
“Caitlyn,” she says. That isn’t right. That wasn’t the answer Vi was after. Names are easily given away but so seldomly remembered in Stillwater, but it echoes in Vi’s head. She almost doesn’t hear the actual answer. “And though I have no doubt a thousand people have given this answer before, I did nothing. I was doing my job, and then I was here. No trial. No sentencing. No crime to speak of.”
*
Half a decade into Vi's stay in Stillwater, a topsider turns up, raving about being a Councillor's daughter.

Summary
Miorine has sat there, hour after endless hour, fingers knitted together, unfocused eyes drifting to the black of space that does not betray how many days have passed. When she was out there in the depths, in the endless dark beyond the glass and steel that protects them from its thoughtless wrath, she had been so certain it was all for nothing. The glass of Suletta’s helmet was clouded, the oxygen no longer circulating as it should, and she had not responded no matter how Miorine screamed and shook her.
Miorine’s heart had not broken because it could not beat. Not until Suletta whimpered, twitched, mumbled through parted lips, and now all Miorine hears is the drumming of her own pulse in her ears.
Suletta’s eyes haven’t flickered open since.
---
Suletta's recovery is to be the work of the rest of her life. Miorine watches over her, keeping vigil, and Ericht offers unlooked for support. A glimpse into the months following the events of Quiet Zero.

Summary
Caitlyn Kiramman, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-six years in the world with only the Hund sisters to distress or vex her. Or, wait—It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single Kiramman in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of the newly hired groundskeeper.
*
Regency-adjacent AU: after the loss of both her father and the family groundskeeper, Caitlyn is summoned to her home estate from the questionable pleasures of town. Rumours abound of the unsavoury sort taken on at the Kiramman estate, and Caitlyn finds herself face-to-face with a woman she has not seen that last decade.

Summary
“You’re drunk? Shit, you’re hammered and you’re pointing a fucking shotgun at me,” the intruder says. Her steely eyes gleam like the necklace tucked away in her jeans, and Caitlyn knows there are a dozen stories behind them. “Look. I’m not gonna hurt you, okay? There’s a reason I chose tonight to come topside. Everyone’s supposed to be at that Council party, and I figured this place would be an easy mark. You need better security, Cupcake. Took me three minutes to get over the gate, up the wall, and through your bedroom window.”
*
Caitlyn's long-since settled into a socially advantageous marriage and is excellent at appearing satisfied with her lot in life. Her first act of rebellion in years - skipping the grandest gala of the season - puts her in the path of Vi, a Zaunite with debts to pay and scores to settle.
