Au where Casimir gets his foot in the door early, and Quiroz joins Renasci as a seventh-year
#in this au Quiroz is the one Celia meets on her train instead of Maddie#because the desert knights meticulously coordinate things that way#having grown up with the Desert Knights Quiroz not only has some serious preconceived notions about Celia#but he also has an intimate and detailed understanding of the Demsne’s goverment Celia’s role in it and the politics surrounding this#and he assumes Celia has thins knowledge as well#if immediately becomes clear that she is both a very nice person and completely clueless and Quiroz becomes friends for realsies#and we bypass a lot of the plots that operate on Celia being in the dark because Quiroz just. tells her things. fills her in.#realizing how much has been kept from her Celia confronts Professor Legaspi and by extension the guild#and because they can’t use the ‘protecting you’ excuse they tell her a lot of stuff that she turns around and shares with Quiroz#Quiroz then turns around and shares it with the Desert Knights so that when Indaba stages a kidnapping attempt at the end of the year#it is very successful and Celia ends up trapped in Huperpetra years early#because she’s early she doesn’t have her block breaking abilities and her escape attempts all fail#Quiroz has a change of heart and tries to help her in one of the attempts but is thwarted and locked in the cell with her#they have a big fight followed by a serious conversation followed by trauma bonding and they come together despite Quiroz’s betrayal#eventually the guild storms the place and the two of them use the distraction to get out#they encounter Celia’s family in the process and she is understandly stricken by this encounter#it holds them up significantly and Casimir finds them there in the dungeon#the guild don’t know where to look and therefore haven’t found them#so it’s just a two person smack down - Casimir vs. an eleven-year old#except no it’s not because Quiroz comes out of nowhere joining the fray#he kills Casimir (mostly by luck but partly because he’s a savage)#amd they all make it out alive (with that one exception lol)#and Celia gets to be happy with minimal stress#celias journey#quiroz bazemore#alternate universes
