    Summary

    Christine Daaé never left Perros, and at age twenty seven, her unmarried status makes her an object of curiosity and scorn among the village. She refuses to give up her independence, dividing her time between teaching music lessons and looking in on her closest friend, the reclusive caretaker of the villa where she used to play with Raoul.

    Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny never forgot Christine Daaé, as hard as he tried. A widower after his wife died in childbirth, he refuses to enter another relationship, believing himself to be cursed. Stifled by the gossip of Parisian high society, he decides to take his five year old daughter and move to his aunt’s old house in Perros, the last place he was truly happy.

    When the two childhood friends meet again after twelve years, their self-imposed pledges to remain alone forever wavers. They both know they can never be anything more than friends, but it’s agony to try to stay apart.

    Summary

    Exactly what the title says: vocabulary, grammar, and ideas for writing dialogue in the language spoken by the githyanki and githzerai. The gith have been around since the publication of the 1981 Fiend Folio, featuring in monster manuals, magazines, video games, and more. They've got a lot to say and hopefully this document will help us understand it.

    4/24/2024: Major updates incoming soon, this is very much a WIP!

    Summary

    Haru leans her head against Akira's shoulder, sighing. “I was expecting some line about how sad I looked when you saw me the first time. Something like, the sun reflected in my hair blinded you, and you had to try and grab its fire for yourself, like a modern Prometheus.”

    Akira laughs under his breath, releasing her and standing with a groan. “If you wanted me to lie, you could have just asked without kissing me.”

    Haru Okumura makes the acquaintance of a certain criminal on her rooftop garden refuge. Together, perhaps they can change both of their fates.
