Title: Broken Rating: PG Word Count: 184 Pairing: Briar/Daja/Sandry/Tris – Team Circlecest Round/Fight: 1/H Summary: Sandry thinks on what's happened to them all.
Sandry had never thought they'd all come back so broken. The journey home (she loved the feeling of home) was a quiet comfort, a fizz of success and strength. But as they went their separate ways (Briar to Rosethorn, Tris with Daja to their home, and she to her uncle), Sandry expected something drastic to happen.
Instead, mumbles and avoided glances as they ran from what they had faced, what they had become and experienced, while in Namorn.
Briar still couldn't sleep alone, sneaking women in through the side-door and escorting them out in the morning. Tris was weak as a kitten, her body desperately pulling for strength after such injuries and stress. And Daja. Sandry sighed and tapped her quill against the desk, the numbers blurring before her eyes. Daja was heartbroken.
Thinking over it, Sandry refused to admit that she, too, was broken. Just because Briar jokingly called her the Duchess, unafraid of anything (while she noticed the bags under his eyes), didn't mean she really was.
Sandry had learned there were more things in the world to fear than the dark.

Sad and lovely. I loved the way its all put together, especially the last few lines. This was a realistic look at the characters and how they interact, and how they may very well respond to returning to Emelan.
