Summary
Years ago, I was in a bad place. I always found great comfort in fictional worlds, so that was where I spent most of my days. One day, however, things got out of hand. The worlds started to blend. Fiction had taken over my mind, and every villain was free to roam the empty void that was once my spirit. I started writing this story many years ago, and the door to reality is still waiting for me. It's a self-indulgent story that isn't written for anyone except myself. It's time to sail the waters of reality on my own.

Summary
Vax'ildan started off never thinking about cameras. And attention. And public opinion. Why would he ever have to worry about that? After being made to live with their father in Syngorn, the twins realized that cameras, the press, public attention was suddenly a thing. And for half-elves in Syngorn, it was to be avoided. And yet, Vax found a way to put a camera on himself, anonymously, and reach out beyond Syngorn. His reckless hobby ends up landing him in the middle of a high fashion photo shoot years later, that somehow lands him a modeling gig, that somehow ends up with him as one of the top models in Tal'Dorei, and all all of Exandria.
It leads him to meet Percival de Rolo, the presumed-dead heir to Whitestone Enterprises & the de Rolo family fortune, and help him reclaim everything. And once it is done, Vax and Percy prepare to attend the Alabaster Lyceum Gala. Together. It will be their first public appearance as a couple. They're excited. But Vax is dreading one thing... he has this... fan. Who writes him letters... 'H' will not be pleased... 'H' will be very angry... but he never expected 'H', after all these years, to finally confront him in person...Series

Summary
“Your life is short” She finally says, likely noticing the growing confusion and wariness in the air, but her eyes do not move from Vax’s as his counterpart shifts behind her. And the air grows tense once more.
Vax’ildan behind her, nods once, staring “Short and bright like the spark of gunpowder” he says, like a quote rather than his own thought.

Summary
Vax found himself on the battlements of Whitestone castle, gazing up at the stars. He couldn’t remember how he had gotten here. He should be asleep. Rudius was bright, reflecting a faint reddish glow on the dark, still sky. It was the kind of quiet and stillness one could only truly find in the middle of the night. It should have been peaceful, but there was a sense of fear lurking deep in Vax’s chest that he couldn’t quite place. Maybe that was why he was out here, seeking out the fresh air to calm his racing mind.
Or, Vax has a nightmare about Hotis. It doesn't go well.

Summary
This was all Vax’s fault. If he had only stayed true to his word about leading Gilmore on, if he’d only bothered to set any emotional boundaries, if he’d only found anything suspicious in the way that “Gilmore” had acted –
In order to be heartbroken over someone, you first must admit that you loved them. A missing scene from Episode 58 after the attempted assassination.
