    Summary

    If he were a better wizard, a smarter one, he'd know how to dispel it. He'd know - he'd know how to fight, or flee, or turn back time and tell Aranessa not to open the door. He'd know what to do right now, but he doesn't, he doesn't know what to do, he's just so scared. So Occtis thrashes in place, struggles wildly beneath the immaterial grip of a dozen shadow-soaked hands.

    It doesn't work. He isn't going to get away. But at least he won't have made it easy for them.

    Five different perspectives - and five alternate timelines - at the Palazzo Davinos.

    Summary

    He - he said he was going to see her later. Shit, did he specify an hour? It's been more than an hour. She's going to be so mad at him. It's not his fault; he makes a point of keeping appointments, once he's made them. He's always anxious at the thought of breaking a promise. He rarely makes promises, frankly, because when he does, he likes them to actually mean something.

    But Thimble can have any promise from him she'd like, given the friends of it all. Occtis doesn't have a lot of those, these days.

    ***

    As things get worse, Occtis's mind goes wandering.

    Summary

    Later, after the medics have checked him and the courtiers have fussed over him and Aranessa has been coaxed away at long last from his side, Julien's father will take him by the arm and lead him to the Davinos sitting room in the depths of the Golden Castle. He will pour his son a glass of brandy, and sit him down in an ornate leather chair, and he will talk to him, deep into the night.

    We have a blessing upon us, Raimond Davinos will say. He has pictured this conversation several times before, scripted it out painstakingly in his head, but this is not the way he planned for it to go. When we swore an oath to House Royce, we were...changed, magically. Permanently, and forever. This is the way of the fae. This is the magnitude of their gifts. And this is the depth of our loyalty. It lasts through life and lasts through death, all the way to the edge of the Golden Shore.

    ***

    Immortality can be a curse and blessing both. Julien Davinos learns this lesson the hard way.
