Summary
Sunday's eyes are fixed on the piano. He can't explain why, but something about it is captivating.
It's been a very long time since Sunday's played piano.
"Uh, Passenger Sunday?" the Conductor repeats, and Sunday blinks, stiffening as he glances down to meet their eyes, widened slightly in expectation.
"I - sorry," he stammers, clasping his hands together before him in an effort to keep him from tugging his feathers. "I was just - I didn't know there was a piano aboard the Express."
Pom-Pom glances back at it, a small sigh leaving their lips. "Ah, yes," they say, shaking their head. "That old thing... it belonged to Akivili, many years ago."
They say this in the same tone one might say we found it on the side of the road amongst the trash and not this instrument belonged to the long-dead Aeon of the Trailblaze.
The crew of the Astral Express, as Sunday quickly learns, love music.
Or: five times Sunday played piano for a Nameless, and once he played for someone else.

Summary
It's just her perfume, he tells himself. But it smells like crystal grace and freshly-chopped wood, and it's the same, oh gods it's exactly the same.
The world twists, and the next thing he knows, he's on the ground, knees tucked up to his chest. When he shuts his eyes, he sees it, and it's like he's back there – vivid images ride on the back of the scent and every detail is perfectly etched out. He sees the dying leaves, the peeling bark, the faded leather – and he's too scared to move or else he'll feel it too.
It's never what he expects.
---
Lavellan is missing the tip of an ear, and no matter how much he refuses to talk about the horrors of whatever happened that day, it just keeps coming back to him.
Note: this doesn't go into detailed descriptions, but does imply some pretty dark stuff. More warnings inside.

Summary
Steve has nightmares like this. Eddie hurt. Eddie pale. Eddie with blood around his mouth. Still like a dead body in hospital sheets. He has nightmares like this, but this isn’t a nightmare. It’s December 1992 and the person on the phone said critical condition.
Steve hasn’t spoken to Eddie since 1986, but the nurse on the phone called him, said come.
So he drove. Said he was his brother, of course, definitely. He signed some sort of form and put down his credit card because Eddie’s got no insurance and the man at the desk had suggested he wasn’t letting Steve back there without one. He’s not sure that’s legal. He’s going to look into it, but not now. Not when he has nightmares like this.
or: four days after Eddie’s been hurt and one day when he’s recovered.
