Summary
Tori frowns. “I do not understand. If it bothers ye, why do ye not just cut it?”
Gyrus groans, pulls his ballcap down lower, and shoves his face into his arms. “I don’t want to be bald.”
“Ainju is bald.”
Gyrus groans again.
Based on a prompt from Hylax!

we've still got to make a decision (leave tonight or live and die this way) by Maust
Fandoms: Room of Swords (Webcomic)

Summary
There’s no dramatic, world-ending scene when Gyrus gets married.
No one says, “I object.”
Fire doesn’t rain down from heaven to strike him down for blasphemy. For marrying someone he doesn’t love while his heart is still in the world of the living. Hating him with every step.
The earth doesn’t split open and swallow him.

Summary
The events after Gyrus' mysterious death shake the remaining members of the Room of Swords.
My old Kodya joins Gyrus' team AU, Trust in the Darkness, is getting a huge overhaul! Any major story changes WILL be covered in some way or form. Parts & chapters will likely be posted slightly out of order (based on my motivation level), but I will prioritize needed context for the AU.
Monsoon is Part 3 of TITD: REVAMPED! For now (January 2026), all you need to know is that when Gyrus attempted to expose Don in the underground tunnel, something went terribly wrong. Don has declared Gyrus dead and completely lost to the shadows. Posting Chapter 1 of this part as a little taste for you guys!

Summary
“The warriors are going to come and get me,” Jade said, out loud to the air. “They just have to collect everybody who got blown away in the storm, and that’s going to take a little bit of time. I need to—” She took a deep breath, looking around. “I need to take care of myself until they get here.”
If you got lost in the forest you were supposed to stay in one place, but this didn’t seem like a good place to stay. She didn’t have any way to start a fire, and the herdbeasts visible above the grass were too big for a half-grown queen to take down by herself. There weren’t even any fish in the water, just a series of scuttling crabs the size of her thumbnail. And—she eyed the crevice she’d been in overnight—there really wasn’t any shelter.
“If there’s a fire, that means a groundling city,” Jade said, out loud again to hear herself talk. The wind pulled at the dry grass growing out of the ruins, a rustling wave. “Groundlings have shelter and food, and if I go there and stay there, the warriors can find me there, right?”
OR: Jade is left alone in a groundling city as a child, and there she meets a groundling named Moon
