Fics like A Blaze Burning Out

How can you be so calm about everything? Nazamil had once asked, and Alphen hadn’t been able to answer in a way that wouldn’t hurt her. At the time, she’d been so sensitive, so unsure that, well, the truth would have been too difficult to explain, too disheartening for her to bear. Because the truth is that he isn’t. He is a fire. And fire burns. His anger is always there, a coal-fueled fire spinning engine wheels along the tracks in Calaglia. It is the unending bubbling of Berg Volcano. It is the oppressive heat, dragging him down with it. It is the fire under his skin, rising with every beat of his heart, once only held back by a mask. And now there is nothing to hold it back but himself. --- Or, Alphen is being crushed under the weight of other peoples' expectations, and loses it a little. --- Or, or, a rewrite of that one Calaglia scene in Beyond the Dawn where Alphen realizes Boundaries Are Important
