So, I've read a lot of Leviathan fanfics that are a series of one-shots and I decided to try my hand at writing some of my own.

This one is a remix of the 'Lilit interruption' at the consulate party toward the end of Goliath.

If anyone spots any glaring grammatical errors, please let me know.

I don't own the Leviathan Trilogy. If I did it would have been more than a trilogy…

"I'm busy talkin' to this guy
When I see outta the corner of my eye...
Look who's here, how you doin'.
Why don't you tell me who let you in?"

-Who Invited You by The Donnas

All she had wanted was to say goodbye to Alek in peace. It was hard enough without some form of interruption or other. If it wasn't Dr. Barlow it was Volger,

and if it wasn't Volger it was another nameless dignitary who wanted a moment with His Serene Highness. It was quite tiresome.

Deryn couldn't help breathing a sigh of relief when they were finally left alone. She opened her mouth to speak but Alek beat her to it.

"There's someone coming this way that looks like they would very much like to speak with you," he said with a mischievous gleam in his eyes.

Deryn risked a peak over her shoulder and looked positively horrified. "Lilit." She scowled in her direction. "Who invited her?"
