Summary
“I, Occtis Tachonis, eighth of my line and last of my house, name you Reynard,” he intones as he dips two of his fingers into the purple ink and draws his sigil on the dog’s flank, a mark that looks like an angular numeral eight. “By the twist in the loop of the cycle of life and death, by the sign of infinity upright, return and let us be bound together.”

Summary
August stays quiet throughout dinner, signaling that he’d like to take watch with just a simple nod. He manages a smile for Misty, a gentle reassurance that he’s fine, that his head is just too busy for sleep at the moment, as it often is, and declines her offer of staying up with him. He pretends that his coat still needs mending until everyone is asleep, then puts aside his needle and thread, placing his head in his hands.
“Do you want to talk about it?”
The words are shadow given sound, and if his time in the Hive hadn’t taught August that silence and stillness meant safety, he might have shouted and lashed out at the voice before realizing it was Skreev.
August’s moth hisses, wings fluttering.
“I wasn’t asking you, Mister Fuzzy.”

Summary
The thing about having six hands is that you can do many things at once. Even as August weaves the ends of the necklace together around Violet’s neck, one of his upper hands rubs at his mouth, pressing hard against remembered pain. The scars there are too old to be seen unless you know what to look for, but August can feel the faint divots under his fingers.
“Adelia, who sewed Violet’s mouth shut?”

Summary
“What are you going to make?” Misty’s voice is as soft as it can be, sand whispering over stone.
“You’ll see.” August looks around before letting his two other pairs of arms emerge through the cleverly disguised holes in his coat. A day ago, he wouldn’t have dared reveal himself out in the open like this. However, that had been before a good portion of the settlement had seen him fly and weave spells. Besides, few people are awake and out on the paths, and those few aren’t near enough to the sad remains of the Pyre and the bloody ashes that stain the ground to see either August or Misty, not in the low light of his spark. “At least, I hope you will. I haven’t done this in…. a very long time.”

Curse of the Green Hag by Moorishflower
Fandoms: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
27 Apr 2023

Summary
“For the crime of attempting to parlay, the hag has cursed me to fall prey to my most bestial urges. Either to secret myself to the woods and there lose my mind, or else to succumb to overwhelming desire for the first creature to touch me. It is why…” Here, a spark of Xenk’s old self-righteousness flares in his eyes. “...I begged you not to touch me. And now here we are.”
“In my defense, you weren’t really coherent,” Ed says weakly.
Three months after the defeat of Sofina, Xenk shows up on Ed's new doorstep needing help with a very specific curse.

It's hard to put out fires when you're burning, just as it's hard to do good as the Champion of a Betrayer God.
