The Guard is struggling post-war, despite its apparent victory. Ethan has withdrawn completely into himself, much to his father's distress, and Matt is struggling to fill Lorian's shoes as head of the Guard. Isabel, lost in her concern for her friends, teeters on the precipice of making some very poor decisions that could threaten the tentative peace that has settled.

Arkarian is apparently unaware of how attractive he is and Isabel is shocked. Pure tooth-rotting fluff. Contains spoilers for things coming up in my other work, The Shadow.

'His eyes, what the hell...' Lorian has to suppress a laugh. Yeah. Of course his own son would think that upon first meeting him.

"Have you been in Athens, then?" she asks softly. He shakes his head. / "No, I..." / "Arkarian?" / "I've been at his mausoleum." / In which I try to figure out how to cope with Lorian's death bc it still haunts me, Sad Fluff, good/hopeful ending, Emotional Hurt/Comfort.

Life continues, yet those we have lost shall remain forever in our hearts and minds. / Character Death Implied.

I know with a certainty that threatens to kill me that he will not be able to save her. I've seen this happen too many times, and it never ends well, but this is the first time it affects me this much. Not Isabel, is all I can think of. Please, I'll take her place. Not Isabel. / Or, six times Arkarian was jealous of Ethan, and one when Isabel was instead.

Some people might say that finding yourself dying in the snow is a very, very bad omen. Under normal circumstances, I would agree wholeheartedly. Or ... in which the Named decide that the prophecy can screw itself and take fate into their own hands. [Post Key, but contains elements of The Shadow]

It had been easy, almost instinctive, to offer his ability in exchange for a life together. It had been the heat of the moment, the imminent threat of 'you're going to lose her'. It had been scarily easy. Or, being ageless has less perks than it might seem to at first sight, and Arkarian is just human, with fears and ghosts of his own.

In the few days after the kids get home, Shaun is also worried about someone else, someone no one would ever call a child, but who might have been shouldering more than his fair share of nightmares. Shaun might not be a perfect father, nor a perfect friend, but he cares, and he worries. Lending an ear for a much needed conversation is the least he could do for an old friend.

Isabel is 33 by the time it occurs to her, and has been 33 for a few months, too.

After rescuing Arkarian from the underworld, Ethan, Isabel and Matt are all grounded by their terrified parents, and justifiably so. But they don't know the whole story, and things are rarely as easy as they seem to be. Or, Ethan sneaks out during the night to make sure the person who is single-handedly responsible for his sanity is still there, alive and breathing.

Life as a high schooler is not what it seems for Ethan and Isabel. Adventure and angst, set in the early chapters of 'The Named'. This story takes place after Ethan and Isabel have completed a few missions and want to celebrate. Isabel thinks she likes Arkarian, but could it actually be Ethan?

Let's be real - Arkarian is everyone's favourite character and we all wish the entire series was from his POV. This is it.

Everything happened so quickly she had barely had time to process it. However, going home after their hellish trip was proving to be just the beginning of something new.

I found some poems that I thought fit the characters, and here I am bringing you more angsty pinning. [Isabel/Arkarian] [Between book 1 and 2]

"I thought I knew Isabel, but turns out, I did not. I thought I knew Arkarian, but turns out, I didn't either." [Ethan's POV]

We all have bad days, even super heroes, and especially sixteen year old ones. / Between book 1 and 2

A moment between Arkarian and Isabel after the battle against Marduke.
