Summary
The person who saved Romeo doesn't turn around. He clicks his blades together into one, and hefts the sword over his shoulder. Like scissors, Romeo thinks absentmindedly. A mop of curly brown hair covers part of his face as he turns his head. And Romeo knows he's being stupid, knows that people don't just come back from the dead, but-
"Carlo?" he asks.

In which Carlo doesn't die, Romeo finds him, and everything follows from there.

Summary
When Romeo looked back at her, it was with a small, delicate smile that spoke only of reassurance and empathetic understanding.
It was the same sad, kind look he’d given Lea when she’d entrusted him with her locket long ago, when she had feebly told him that she could no longer bear the overpowering grief looking upon the three smiling faces kept within its ornate casing would lance through her heart. The longing for those beautiful but ephemeral days had been too much.
Lea’s chest constricted, like her lungs were valiantly trying to throttle her to death. He should not be trying to reassure her— she was not the one who deserved reassuring. He should not be looking at her like that, like she was the one who was the worst off out of the two of them. He had no reason to smile at her so warmly, as though she wasn’t entirely to blame for the tragedy he was now entrenched in.
For not the first time, and certainly not the last, Lea felt sickened by the sheer profundity of her own failures.

Summary
Carlo sighed happily, taking a sip of his hot chocolate once he knew it wouldn’t burn his tongue. He had already had to reprimand Romeo for trying to drink his too soon, the damn boy was far too impatient. However, Carlo suspected Romeo had burnt his tongue on purpose so that Carlo could soothe it with his own. He leaned back against Romeo who had finished his drink and had his arms wrapped around him, his cheek resting atop Carlo’s head.
“You think it’s gonna be like this forever?” Romeo asked, his voice sounding genuinely unsure. It made Carlo’s heart ache.
“It can be however we want it to be.” Carlo answered quietly, though he knew it wasn’t true. They could only control their fates so much. Krat was changing around them, the alchemists were planning something and the future was uncertain. That was why they had to live while they still could. Who knew how many more falls they would have together.

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
“You don’t remember me?” Romeo murmurs.
Not-Carlo’s expression morphs ever so slightly from that passive gaze to something a tad more… remorseful. “I know who you are. I know who Carlo is, what he means to you.” Not-Carlo bites at his bottom lip, still refusing to meet Romeo’s gaze. “But I’m not him.” Then, almost as an afterthought: “I’m sorry.”
The storm ends, and the world persists. Romeo, brought to Hotel Krat and fixed up, vows not to rest until Carlo remembers him once again.
Unfortunately, things are rarely as cut and dried as he would like them to be.

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.

Summary
The rest of the King of Puppets falls away, piece by piece, leaving a discarded puppet suit and a single figure in the middle. Carlo would know his face anywhere; it’s the same one he’s fought through puppets and trudged across streets barricaded with corpses to find. Romeo, not breathing but alive, animated by Ergo and wiping oil off one metal-plated arm, and still the best thing Carlo’s ever seen.
Carlo doesn’t say any of that. Instead, he grumbles, “I can’t believe you got taller.”

In which Carlo comes back looking for someone.
