Notes:
After five years, I finally bring to you the conclussion of one of the stories most-heavily interwoven with the wider OtSoT lore!

See the end of the chapter for more notes.

“Don’t…” Is definitely not a story I am going to forget any time soon. And it’s one I regret leaving unfinished for so long. And yet, if I had originally written it in full in 2020, I am also quite sure it would have been a piece of much lower quality, so I can’t be too unhappy.

I am sure that I could have drafted a much more interconnected story for Wrangler and Beau if I had sought out to do so from the start, but at the same time the plot, characters and Kaiju in this story would also have been very different if I had drafted it in full back then.

All in all, I am glad that I have finally given OtSoT’s first not-oneshot the ending it deserves, and can only hope you guys have enjoyed reading it too!

And it's an Ace of Spades.

Briefcase in hand, Mr. Echo appeared atop the warp pad. He studied his surroundings, finding himself inside a beachside cabin that seemed to have been recently destroyed. And the cause soon became obvious: a fierce battle was underway on the sand just beyond the house, the Crystal Gems locked in combat with none other than Blue Diamond, her ship hovering just beyond them.

“Welcome back to Earth, your majesty,” he said, opening the briefcase. He prepared to set the timer, only to realize that something wasn’t quite right. A glance to the side revealed that Yellow Diamond’s ship was also present, engaged in an arm-wrestling match with some sort of fleshy red limb emerging from the Earth’s crust. “Hmm. I never factored the Cluster into this. No matter. All things in time.”

He closed the case, slipping out of the ruined house and heading towards the abandoned town. He had planned for this–all he had to do was wait for both Diamonds to be together. And if BAINE showed up to try and stop him? He’d planned for that too.

Phew! Sorry this one took so long, I had a busy week. Hopefully the next one won't be held up, but be prepared just in case. We're in the final stretch!

This is important, especially if one is not personally close enough to be more frank, or if the statement needs to be made in public.”

“But if they are wrong, then should it not be made known?” Rixiong complained.

They sat in one of the lecture halls, during its empty hours, books and scrolls open across the long desks which curved around the amphithere. These were free for disciple use when lessons were not going on, but in Rixiong’s experience, disciples rarely did so.

“No, not in a public venue, and certainly not if you are not trying to challenge their authority,” Ran Fen replied, jabbing her inkbrush toward him. She was dressed in the airy silks and jewels now, with so much cloth and lace that he thought she looked rather lost in it. “Gah…. Does a wolf challenge its pack leader's decisions in the middle of a chase?”

He wrinkled his nose in consternation. “No,” he reluctantly allowed. “But standing around talking is not the same thing as the heat of a hunt!”

“You may not think so, but it is. The Empire moves its goods, its armies, its laws, on people who ‘stand around and talk’,” Ran Fen replied frostily. “You may dislike it, but when you so bluntly contradict someone in public you are challenging them in their position. If they fail to slap you down they are showing a crippling weakness to their other subordinates. If you wish to do so, by all means, but do not do so in ignorance!”

….He did understand that. Wolves were not the best example of what she spoke of, but he did understand dominance and submission displays, even if he found the form of them his fellow humans practiced very strange.

Well, he supposed that also explained some of the more outlandish clothing he’d seen too.

And yet, it has been mankind, and not one another, that has suffered worst under their brutish mandates.

Hello! Once more I bring you all an update to Monarchs, this one focusing on an extremely unlikely duo of Kaiju that I personally am quite fond of.
