Starfall Stories 16

Three more rainbowfic pieces. I might even catch up with myself at some point... (I got stuck all month on my next piece and eventually decided I needed to change tense, and now - after all the tense-changing, everything is fine again. idk.)

Notes: 1323; Marran Delver, Laonna Torwell. (Governor Delver backstory; this is 14 years before he turns up at Starfall. Commander of the Fort here is an archaic ceremonial title for Old Ralston’s city leader, the same way Leaira’s grandmother, who has the equivalent role in Lighthaven is known as the Lightkeeper.)
Summary: Marran’s been living under sentence until today.
