    Summary

    The Hermit's Cave didn't offer the most comfortable accommodations, but it was a relatively safe place to rest and recover while the group planned their next move. The reprieve gave Romeo time to think, Carlo time to overthink, and P time to adjust to the dynamic developing between the three of them.

    Romeo POV interlude taking place between chapters 7 and 8 of Beneath Some Happier Star; best read after chapter 8.

    Summary

    The last thing Lea saw when she closed her eyes in the Rose Garden was the corpse of the gray-haired stranger. The last thing she felt was grief. She and her mysterious companion had failed, and Romeo would pay the price just as Carlo had before. She had been living a nightmare which had finally come to its bloody, bitter end.

    It must have been a nightmare. Why else would she have woken up?

    Meanwhile, P awoke to a Krat even more foreign to him than the one he'd seen in Lea's time. This bright, thriving city had yet to experience the worst of its troubles. And with the Carlo of this time still alive and well, P realized he could keep it that way. Alone, it would be a difficult fight. Luckily, someone who had lived those same nightmares was just as determined to keep them from ever coming to pass.

    Time travel fix-it in an AU where Lea and P lost to Arlecchino

    Summary

    “Are you planning to tell me how I’m still alive?” Romeo asks.

    P blinks, perhaps surprised at Romeo’s coherency, or vitriol, or both. “I was able to preserve your Ergo. It was easy enough to construct that body after my own schematics."

    Slowly, Romeo forces air into his chest, a humming buzz the only sensation beneath his fingertips. “And what does that make me now?”

    The smile P gives is odd, as though he’s both unfamiliar with the practice of it and the emotion behind it all at once. “Like me, I think.”

    Or, Romeo is revived in a puppet body similar to P's, just in time to meet a familiar face from Venigni's past that threatens both his quickly forming bond with P and all of Krat's new, fragile peace.

    If there’s one thing P has discovered he likes even more than music, it's dancing.

    Or, two very different dances in P and Romeo's lives.
