The Return Of Time

AU

It's 20 years in the future, and Sophie's mind has been broken for 14 of them, a because no one has been able to fix her; not even Fitz, who can only prevent her mind from breaking further. He sits by her bed every day, doing his best to heal her, and rarely takes breaks.

The Ruwens, Vackers, Dizznees, Song twins, and Keefe all take turns stopping by to give Fitz a break, though he doesn't do much else other than angrily pester the Black Swan about fixing his cognate's mind, but they never give him an answer other than, "Don't worry, we have a plan." Though they always fail to tell him what that is, no matter how many times he asks.

Each day is like clockwork, like time in the lost cities has come to a halt without Sophie Foster.

When Alden finds information that the Black Swan could have a second Project Moonlark, Biana steps up to the plate to take on the task of finding this new kid who could be Sophie's only hope.
