Fandom: Worlds Beyond Number Rating: Teen Word Count: 100 words Summary: They found her in the aftermath. A/N: A canon divergence AU, inspired by Aabria's observation from the ep. 14 Fireside Chat: "It's easy for Suvi to kill because it's just as easy for Suvi to die."

Cross-posted to AO3 here! But since it's so short, I'll also tuck the whole thing on Tumblr below the cut.

They found her in the aftermath. Even after they cut her free, it was unclear what happened: whether the Undre struck, or whether they simply overwhelmed her in their haste to reach the shoreline. Regardless, the kudzu grew around Suvi, bursting with the life it had reclaimed from her. At the sight of her – limp, broken, laid out in the governor’s mansion – Ame wept. Eursulon crumbled. And though she was not one to judge others their grieving, Ame saw Steel’s set brow and wondered at the reason why anyone would react to the loss of a near-child with such poise.
