    Summary

    The man waved a hand at her from the doorway. “Hi, Donut.”

    Princess Donut narrowed her eyes at him.

    “Come on, Carl”, Miss Beatrice said, taking his hand and pulling him towards the bedroom. The man nearly stumbled on Princess Donut’s precious Mouse toy that lay on the floor. They both giggled drunkenly. Princess Donut sighed. Another of these kinds of manservants. Princess Donut watched them go, judging harshly.

    Carl. She rolled that name around in her mind. Carl.

    It was a good enough name, she supposed.

    Life through Princess Donut's eyes before the Collapse.

    Summary

    Do you know how much money she’s going to sell for, Carl? She’s a former international grand champion. She’s past her prime. I don’t understand what you’re not getting about this.

    “I’m gonna miss you,” Carl says quietly, softly petting down Donut's spine. “Even though you’re a pain in the ass.”

    Donut presses her cold as fuck nose to the underside of his jaw, just to be an asshole, and Carl chuckles at her inadvertent retaliation.

    Donut can’t understand what he’s saying. Donut can’t properly listen to the words he tells her. It’s no use to tell the truth, or to lie, or to say anything at all. She’s a cat, for fuck’s sake, it doesn’t even matter.

    And yet—

    Carl turns his head, sticks his face in Donut’s soft fur, and whispers, “I’m sorry.”

     

    OR: five times Carl talks to Donut before the dungeon, and one time he realizes maybe she's been listening all along.

    Summary

    I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.

    Right up until Rocky asks another question.

    “When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”

    Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”

    Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.

    “Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”

    I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.

    “When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”

    I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.

    “Grace. When last time, question.”

    I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.

    “Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”

    I can taste grass.

    AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

    wow. wow wow wow WOW!!!!!!!!! this is actually one of my favorite fics that ive read in a long time. i cried multiple times (sad, angry, and happy) and began to curse the authors bloodline because of the sheer amount of angst in chapter 2 & 3. BUT THEN chapter 4 happened and it all paid off so well. using the two streams of consciousness in parallel was also SO SO SO FUN AND INTERESTING AND ENGAGING. overall im literally stunned by how beautiful and moving this fic is. i really felt just how much rocky and grace became family!!!!
