    Summary

    **This work is part of a series! Major spoilers for all of Through Sand and Sea!**

    Narcissa’s eyes snap open to glare. “No one,” she grits out. “I— I’ve been working. Caring for Bella, numerous coma patients, looking after five nymph babies. Spending time with Draco, ensuring that Edward, Remus and Nymphadora do not get themselves seen with their reckless— I’ve been brewing potions, and researching— and Fawkes has— I just haven’t had time for…dating! My life is sheer madness! And no one would have wanted to date me anyway. I’ve been in hiding. Narcissa Malfoy. Cold, and spiteful and…horrible!”
    “Oh, I wouldn’t be so sure about that, Narcissa,” Luna says softly as she walks past. She has flowers and sprigs of sea lavender in her hair.

    Or, following chapter 100...

    Let's see from a different perspective.

    Summary

    Aventurine makes it out of the abyss - and into a different world. Things are different here - simpler. There are no Aeons, no intergalactic factions and corporations, no Paths and Blessings. He is not naïve enough to assume that there is no cruelty and discrimination here - for there always is - but for the most part, everything is peaceful.

    Here, Aventurine's priorities are getting people's coffee orders right. Fairly straight forward, if you ask him.

    Except for the bit where he is surrounded by too many familiar faces, and they remind him of a place he can no longer return to. That's okay. People come and go, and so will they.

     

    Except for the bit where they come and go and come back.

     

    AKA. Aventurine gets dropped into a coffee-shop AU with all the memories from before. He's handling things until he's not handling things. That's okay, because he still has friends (and Dr Ratio) in this world. He just doesn't know it yet.

    Summary

    The moon asked the sun, “What do you know of love?”

    “It burns,” said the sun. “It brightens. It is something you make and then give away.”

    “Don’t listen to him,” said the clouds. “This big ball of gas doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

    “Yes, I do,” said the sun. “Who but me makes the roses grow?”

    “We do,” said the clouds. “Love nourishes, like the rain. We turn the hills green and fill the creeks so they will sing in their creekbeds.”

    “Why do you ask?” said the sun.

    “I think I might be in love,” said the moon. “I am trying to understand.”
