summary:
The tablet hits the hard floor with an echoing clank- but it doesn’t shatter.
Part of Hunter really wants to break down sobbing right now. He resists the temptation and reaches for the tablet. As soon as his fingers brush against its surface, chills erupt across his skin. A strange yet familiar voice suddenly echoes in his mind- childlike laughter.
Hunter’s stomach drops as he realizes where he knows the voice from, snatching his hand back instantly.
But he can’t undo it.
The tablet glows bright blue, and something slithers out of it.

Luz doesn’t trade places with Hunter, and he ends up facing Emperor Belos alone. Cast off and left for dead, Hunter’s out of options until he meets the Collector, who makes him an offer he can’t refuse.

summary:
“Dios mío, what's this?!”
He looked down at his wrist, where his coven sigil sat, inflamed and sluggishly bleeding from its activation during the draining spell. That looked worse than he expected. It looked like an infected brand. In a way, it kind of was.
“It’s, uhh,” Hunter fumbled, mind scrambling for some way to possibly explain the mark to somebody who had no information on what magic even really was, “It's, um. It’s not normally like that.”
Or
Hunter’s first night in the Noceda residence. He learns that most adults do, indeed, experience empathy. Turns out Belos is maybe not the best reference for good parenting.
i am all the things they might've said to you; beyondthehorizon - the owl house

summary:
Principal Bump seemed to glower at him, and the teacher next to him only judged him. Thoughts began racing through his head.
The Emperor sent out a search party for you, he’s been worried sick!
I’m sure The Emperor would want him back.
Right now, he’s just a runaway, and our dearest Emperor wants him back.
I’m starting to think you make those things just to destroy them.
He couldn’t decide whether to breathe as fast as possible, or to hold his breath so as to disappear like one of Luz’ spells. They didn’t believe him. They might turn him in. Clutching at his chest, he looked to the ground, scanning the floor, scanning his brain, looking for what to do, what to do, what to do, what to do what to do-
He did what he knew best.
Steeling his nerves, he dropped to the floor, kneeling, rigid, closing his eyes. He felt far away again as he began to play his part. Bow down to authority.
