First FreeVerse, first Next Generation! So proud. I have a take on Luna's twin boys: Lorcan inherited his mother's oddity while Lysander recieved his father's lingering thread of sanity (as Rolf must be a teensy bit insane to love Luna). And if that were true, it'd be hard for poor Lysander to overcome his relatives' personalities as everyone would just push them into the loony bin. So, yeah, a double-first, so be gentle!

they imagine your stare as v a c a n t (Lorcan!); your brain cells as gone (Luna!); your adventurous side as mad (Rolf!)
no no no no
no friends to laugh with, no girls to kiss [oh no, you is loco, boy!]
