Two souls who found each other, and rekindled their relationship, so late in life are getting married, and the wedding is surely going to be a grand event. Both Cranky Doodle Donkey and Matilda have led long, eventful lives, and that's led to a long and varied guest list.
One such guest is looking at a wedding invitation from his first ever friend. He's going to go. He can't not go. But one little request, one added specifically for his invitation, has him stopping short. Four little words chilling him to the core.
Come as you are.

Oh. I do love me some Kevin fics. This is going to be fun.
Surprised "Kevin" isn't a valid tag.
Come, doused in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend
As a old memoria
An excellent read! The various shapes he wears, and the reasoning behind them, were really interesting.
A fascinating start. It's ironic that the changeling is the only one who doesn't change after reading "come as you are." I'll be tracking this one.

Those are all the changeling, not other guests.
Brilliant work. Truly the most terrifying face a changeling can wear is his own, especially before the Thoracic Revolution. And Matilda having as rich a past as Cranky, possibly echoing his own life of adventure while seeking a lost love, is a fascinating concept I’ve never seen before. It certainly explains both why they invited a drone and how that drone got his new name.
Brilliant work throughout. Thank you for it.
A really interesting start for a character who amounts to a background joke in the show. I look forward to seeing more as this continues.
