#realizing how much has been kept from her Celia confronts Professor Legaspi and by extension the guild
Text
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
