The Many Ramblings of K. A. Webb

Opal sat alone, in the room she’d once shared with Margery, and waited. Sleeping was much harder without the girl Opal had thought of as her sister and every time her aunt looked at her she knew the older woman wished it had been Margery who survived. There were times, normally late at night, when Opal wished it had been Margery too, even though she was grateful be alive, and her ability meant that at least she could still talk to Margery, unlike her aunt.

Written for forgottenspirits prompt about blooming on their equivalent of Samhain.

Blooming on Sauin Day wasn't something Aurora would wish on anyone, even her worst enemy. Along with the ability to use water magic and memory magic they could also converse with the dead. It was rare, which meant that when the dead found someone with the ability they wouldn't leave that person alone and that could easily overwhelm the magic user. Since the day Aurora had taken on the responsibilty of looking after all the users in the country she hadn't met anyone who had bloomed on Sauin Day. She was grateful for that, because she didn't know how to help someone in that position. In several books a form of crystal was mentioned that could help to shield the user from the dead but it was one that hadn't been seen in hundreds of years.
