    Summary

    "you're so tense," he says, hands folded politely in his lap in a piss-poor attempt to hide the tent in his trousers. flattering. she fights back a tiny smile. "relax, camilla. stop holding your breath."

    and– she does relax, is the thing, but not consciously. she feels the muscles in her core and her limbs soften, lengthen just barely out of their contraction, lungs expanding at the merest twitch of his ring finger. the loss of control makes her gasp, ball her hands up into fists at her sides, bite down hard on her lip.

    "there you go, that's much better." he starts up again, his curious touch-without-touch, that simple alchemichal biology that fools her nerve endings and neural pathways into hallucinating the pressure and warmth of a caress. it's fucking with her head a little. he's got her keyed up enough that it feels like anything could send her over the edge. she watches a rivulet of bloodsweat run down his temple. he smiles at her, warm and kind. it's–

    Summary

    Gideon Nav has finally made it out. She's a regular, well-adjusted adult, she's got cool friends, a job she likes.
    Sure would be a pity if someone from her past showed up...

    “Palamedes knows that filmmaker, H.K. Nav, apparently they are in a crossword Discord together,” Camilla said.
    This fact deeply endeared Palamedes to Gideon, but she could not quite process it.
    “Wait, the filmmaker has the same last name as me? Huh.”
    “Yes, I wondered about that as well. Maybe she is some distant relative.”
    Gideon doubted it. She was pretty sure that Priamhark had invented her surname whole cloth.
    “Maybe we are destined to be wed—she already has my name, right?” Gideon said, waggling her eyebrows at Camilla, who sighed.

    Summary

    "The Houses have grown fat on the Cohort's efforts. They linger within the safety of Dominicus, entirely unaware of the sacrifices we make to protect them. The time has come to call upon their sons and daughters, to enlist their blood for the glory of the Emperor Undying."

    aka

    Summary

    What if Gideon and Harrow grew up in a 21st century small Midwestern town? What if Catholic trauma haunted their lives? What if so many wires crossed during their youth that everything feels impossible now? What if atypical antipsychotics weren't enough?

    What if Ianthe sold coke on the dark web?

    Summary

    "Of course there's no substitute for hands-on experience," said Palamedes, adjusting his glasses. "It's a multi-stage process. Read about the thing you want to do. Then try it. Then evaluate how successful your efforts were, and if necessary, go back to the books to learn more before you try again. Lots of clever people have practiced and sweated and struggled for years to become experts in their field, and then they wrote books about it. We can learn from their advice so we don't have to reinvent the wheel. Or in this case," he added, "the rope."

    Summary

    "Nona, do you remember how old you were when you came here?"

    Nona gave Harrow a withering expression that caused Gideon to stifle a chuckle. Without a word, it was as if she was asking, ’are you stupid?'. She held up her hands, wiggling all of her fingers. She was ten when she'd had a seizure. Ten when her mother died, leaving her alone in a nightmare she hadn't woken up from.

    Harrow felt a stab of pain in her heart upon seeing that weak glare. It was far too young of a face to pretend to be tough, too innocent of a gaze to have seen that much pain. She blinked against the pressure forming in her eyes, determined not to cry.

    ———

    Gideon and Harrow stumble upon a loose end from Drearburh — in the form of a child. Camilla and Palamedes realize language development is easier than they expected. Nona loves her small, strange family more than anything.

    Summary

    The fate of Drearburh lies on the shoulders of its Duchess, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. With debts piling up and a castle in disrepair, Drearburh can only survive if Harrow manages to find a wealthy spouse who will pull her out of financial ruin. Harrow would do anything to preserve her family name - even if it means giving up on her feelings for Gideon Nav, the stableboy she's been hopelessly in love with since childhood.

    Gideon Nav has been at Harrow's mercy ever since Drearburh took her in as a baby. When Harrow offers to release Gideon from her service in exchange for escorting her through the social season, Gideon finally sees a way out. But, as she begins to see through the cracks in Harrow's facade, Gideon realizes that helping Harrow get married might be more complicated than she thought. And why has King Gaius taken such an interest in her?

    Summary

    "Some people take the view that we happen by accident. I think that there is something much deeper, of which we have very little inkling at the moment." - Sir Roger Penrose

    “Existence is a fact. We are all here and now. Nonexistence is an abstraction of the human mind... This is the reason I think that a [cyclic universe], which has always existed, is simpler than one that has been created." - Nelson Pinto-Neto

    Somewhere deep in the Mojave Desert, a conservationist remembers a life she never lived and a woman she’s never met. When a mysterious redhead blows into town, memory begins to bleed across lifetimes and reality becomes more idea than fact. Her only salvation lies in the golden eyes that undid her in the first place.

    Or: We're so post-canon we're in a new universe because so help me Jod they will have their happy ending.
