Summary
Imogen de Rolo, the second eldest of Vex’ahlia and Percival de Rolo, is the first of her siblings to fly the nest. There’s no checklist of things to achieve, beyond looking further into the purple lightning that cracks her skin, but it would go as follows if she did:
Meet her best friend. Find their own kind of family in the second strangest group of people she’s ever seen. Change the way she thinks about herself. Fall in love with her best friend.
Confront her family’s trauma. Throw some of it back in their faces.
Maybe she’ll get to the lightning thing, at some point.(or: the canon story told through a series of connected, chronological one-shots, with one major difference)

Summary
Everybody seems to be far more productive than she feels in the wake of Laudna’s death, reaching out to various contacts and trying to find somebody who can bring her back. Imogen, for her part, feels useless; all she can do is stomp around or cry, make demands of everybody else, and grapple with the heavy swirl of emotions that threaten to drag her further into the storm. The purple scars tracing up her forearms pulse with color, and she catches the other party members throwing her looks— concern from Fearne, silent assessment from Ashton, something heavy and grieving from Orym.
Imogen doesn’t care about them. She wants to, and she has; the past month has been a whirlwind, but as loud as all their thoughts might be, she does care about the five of them. But she can’t, right now, because every aching pulse of her heart is calling out Laudna’s name, and nothing else seems to matter at all except the pain and the grief.
So Imogen bears down, grabs onto the possibility of getting Laudna back with two hands like it’s a rope, and does her best to weather the coming days.
or; Imogen, in the wake of losing Laudna and the chase of getting her back.
