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.

Summary
Sam’s hand hung in the air, suspended mid-reach. He could only stare. Lyle's eyes—one of the few features still visible beneath the heavy shadow of his cloak—were wide, glassy, almost wild. Despite being taller than Sam, he seemed to shrink into himself, small and cornered. Like a wounded animal.
Well… maybe not an animal. But wounded, absolutely. Sam's gaze dropped to the blood blooming across the fabric Lyle clutched tighter and tighter around himself.How did they even get here?
It was supposed to be a routine supply run. Nothing dramatic. They hadn’t even brought anyone else along, because it was meant to be quick.
Pick up some stuff from Eugene. Grab a few things from Lyle’s apartment. Deliver a love letter.
Watch the act of a good (Sam)aritan turn horribly, horribly wrong.Bookmarked by Shirley_Exception

Summary
Noel knows he is going to die one day. Except, when he walks into what he is sure would be certain death, he survives, somehow, as always, crawling to another day. Tossed to the side before he can even take a dying breath, Noel finds himself thrown from the Order of the Fallen Star back to the one place he’d sworn to never see again: the Dreamlands.
Yellow knows he is going to be King one day. But just before he could grab ahold of the power he deserves, the only power he had ever even had the chance to take for himself, Yellow wakes up in an unknown land with a dying Larson at his side— and in his own body.
Together, Noel and Yellow know that they're fucked.
Both are trapped in a land that one calls Hell, and the other home, and neither can agree on. A strange power keeps them bound together and unable to part ways, and so without a choice, they must find a path forward, even if they cannot agree upon which path that is. No matter where they head or what challenges they face, they’ll have to find out whether they will drag each other to the depths and suffocate, or if they can manage to lift each other’s heads above the water and swim to shore.
