    Summary

    Occtis wonders distantly if she has ever done this before, offered this. He thinks it's very unlikely. Julien doesn't care about his reputation or his life, but Aranessa cares a great deal about both.

    Summary

    For years, no one speaks about it directly. They simply develop new etiquette surrounding Aranessa’s circumstances: Julien’s father, along with all of the adult vassals and some of the servants of the family, begins wearing a new bracer with easy fastenings on his ungauntleted arm.
    Hours and hours he spends in her company, drinking in her attention like a flower drinks the sunlight, guarding her from all danger with a glad heart—but she never pulls Julien aside.

    Summary

    A hand clamps over his mouth, uncompromising and final.
    “No, darling, not like that,” Bolaire murmurs kindly. “I’m here, I’m here. Be good for me, Hal, and live.”

    Summary

    When he woke up and saw the ceiling of the Dol-Makjar tenement he’d lived in for the last eight numb years, Casimir thought: Right. There’s an afterlife, it’s shit, moving on. And he rolled over and went back to sleep.
    It’s not the afterlife.

    Summary

    “I’m not doing this for me,” Thjazi says, spitting on the dusty ground. “Most people aren’t as selfish as you are. Three visitors. One chance. Or we’ll be brothers, down here in the dark.”

    Summary

    He secrets the scraps away in a box, a private indulgence, and does not look at them unless he’s adding to the collection. It is his own pet mystery, this unknown murderer haunting his city. She is a puzzle to solve. She is his puzzle to solve.

    Summary

    “Running around with this kid—you’re lucky it was me. He’s not an open book, Julien, he’s an open door.” The smile curling at the pale mouth is condescending. The use of his first name is presumptuous. And the way the hair stands up on the back of Julien’s neck, the shiver of absolute disdain that rolls through him—there is only one wayward, unnatural spirit that this could be.
    “You.” He snaps his teeth around the word, almost wordless at this, this impossibility. It’s yet another wrong the world has done to him.
    “Me,” Thjazi Fang mocks.

    Summary

    “Stop watching me,” she snaps one night, and he looks a little surprised as he unfolds from his spot in the shadow of a crate. People have been walking past him all evening—she makes a note to check the Pale Guard rotations. If they’re tired enough to miss an entire man brooding by the campfire, they’re too tired to fight.
    “I—sorry,” he mutters. “Didn’t realize.”

    Summary

    A good portion of the Inquisition's diplomacy is at all times tied up in reacting to unexpected events.
    One such event: the Inquisitor's fondness for Yvette.
    (Or: the end of the Inquisition, in three parts.)

    Summary

    There are the things you want, and the things you get. Any crossover between the two, while lovely, is unreliable and temporary at best.
    And yet, when it comes to Percy...

    Summary

    “You can do this,” she says, trying to be encouraging.
    “Right.”
    “No words of wisdom for me, Annie?” Sylvain calls. He hasn’t moved. There’s tension in his shoulders, just a touch—he’s thinking about something complicated, Felix decides. He gets like this when he can’t decide how he should be acting.
    “You don’t need them,” she parries lightly. “Just keep your earpiece in this time.”

    Summary

    The Emperor’s private balcony overlooks the courtyard, and on rare occasions they catch a distant glimpse of him there. In many ways, Gustavo Uvano is a ship on the horizon of his daughter’s life; never all the way absent, but not close enough to touch. He is a very busy man, all of Plumbeline’s teachers and governesses and servants remind her, until she learns not to ask after him.
    Only once does she look up and see someone else watching. There’s a beautiful woman on the Emperor’s private balcony, watching the children tussle and play in the courtyard below. Red hair tumbles past her shoulders, unbound, and for a split second Plumbeline meets amused orange eyes. The stranger looks—just for a moment, when the light is cool and golden on her brow and she tilts her head in acknowledgement—like a queen.

    Summary

    In this place, comfort is temporary and happiness is false. In him, alight and enduring, are resentment, hatred, and regret—the only things he can keep.

    Summary

    “Astarion,” she coos sweetly, fluttering her eyelashes like she’s playing a sleeping princess who’s just gotten her true love’s kiss, “what the fuck?”
    “I can exp—you know, I’ve never heard you swear before,” he says, with the gall to sound baffled.
    “Well,” she grumbles, sitting up slowly, “I've never seen you wake me up in the middle of the night to kill me, either, so I suppose we’re even. Whatever it is, get on with it.”

    Summary

    The Ebon Hawk—Revan’s ship, with Revan’s droids and one of Revan’s teachers, and Leida practically sleeps wrapped in one of her dark cloaks, the way the echoes ring in her ears. She should meditate. She should really meditate.
    She goes to the medical bay and watches the Sith sleep.
