Summary
The Falconer's Rebellion begins, as most rebellions do, with a singular mission and a man far too dedicated to fulfilling it. There's nothing unusual about that. We've seen it before.
This time, though, things turn out a little bit differently.
Thjazi Fang says, Nessa, will you come with me?
And the Lady Aranessa Royce says, Yes.
(A pair of lovers flees the Golden Orchard, and changes the trajectory of the future in their wake.)

Summary
In the few brief heartbeats before his current body collapsed beneath him, Bolaire hoped he would dream of Hal. He'd never dreamt before, but what had there been to dream of? The Schemers wouldn't force Bolaire onto someone. No matter how much Hal might care about Bolaire as a friend, there were lines he wouldn't cross. Shouldn't cross.
When Bolaire's body dies, he resigns himself to be “sleeping” for a long time. Azune, with the help of the other Schemers, refuses to let that happen, even if it means wearing Bolaire himself. What's a little body-sharing between friends, right?

Summary
"He was so young, during the rebellion. He got his fair share of scars, sure, but this is - " he blinks back wetness in his eyes, both because he doesn't know what it means, and also because he will not let Thimble be right about his big wet kitty-cat eyes. "He was reckless, but not stupid. Where has he been?"
If Thimble catches the crack in his voice, she's kind enough to let it pass. "I dunno. You all finding me in the hideout - obviously, it was a fucking nightmare, but at least that part was good. Seeing you again. Then, Kat walking in like that...yeah." She sounds somber. "He was on Thaz's mind, sure, but he wasn't one of the pieces he kept on the board."
"Do you think if he had been kept closer, he would be less - " a dozen words flit across his mind, not all of them Common, but none seem quite right.
"Fucked up?" Thimble offers, and something in Teor's heart hurts.

Summary
The final scene of ExU: Calamity, converted into Shakespearean verse. It is, after all, a tragedy.
Now all is fire, at this age’s end
And as the city falls into its place
So falls the Ring of Brass. -

Summary
But Maya watches like her father. She has his eyes, his ears, his intellect. Analysis is easy. It’s not so difficult to piece together that the world is tearing itself to pieces from overheard conversations and subtly exchanged glances between adults. Whatever happened at home kickstarted the end of everything. Nobody survived the city’s crash.
Nobody.
And Dad has always loved his work because he loves their home.
Maya doesn’t have a future anymore. It was ripped from her hands.

Summary
To whom it may concern,
This letter is to verify that the attached correspondence, documents, and various memorabilia once belonged to a mage named Laerryn Coramar-Seelie, Architect Arcane of Avalir. These were found in a box sealed by arcane means and date back to the pre-Calamity era. My deceased husband, Professor Caleb Widogast of the Soltryce Academy, unearthed the box during an exploration trip to Aeor in 837 PD. Through our research, we have found these to be authentic.
I am at your service for any other information you may require.
Regards,
E. Widogast[A transcription with commentary on various mementos and letters belonging to one Laerryn Coramar-Seelie, found in a carved box (bronze and gold inlaid with amethysts, 14 inches high x 18 inches long x 16 inches wide). Originally discovered in the ruins of Aeor in 837 PD by C. Widogast and E. Widogast. Acquired by the Cobalt Soul. ]

Summary
"Just wait until we get married," says Laerryn, whose impulse control can generously be described as precariously fair-weather and more accurately described as 50% apathy, 50% Loquatius Seelie.
Or
Sometimes you accidentally propose to your partner via dinner party banter, it's fine. -

“Patia, what if you took a break? Just for tonight?”
The odd smile lingers on her lips. “What do you call what we’re doing?”

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.

"So, Thimble, did you and Thjazi ever—" Kattigan breaks off, making a crude gesture with his hands.
"What?" Thimble is so taken aback, her wings actually stop mid-flight. She drops a whole inch before the instinct kicks back in. "Ew, Kattigan! No! What's wrong with you?"
"But you loved him, yeah?"

“Did, uh. Did you know that the heart is very protected by the lungs? In horses, and sometimes in young centaurs, inhalations are under vacuum pressure from the gait of a run. If you stop running, you stop breathing.”
Occtis’ lab notebook is not the most well-kept.

Summary
"Are you certain, my lady?" Raimond's fingers tap against his sword hilt. A minor habit of his. He only ever does it when he's thinking of his son. "I hate to put you to such trouble. It is not your place, or the place of your House, to clean up my House's shameful....indiscretions."
Something hot and bright snaps through Aranessa's bones. It feels like a static shock, like ruffling someone's hair after a long run or standing right below a lightning strike. She swallows it smoothly, and does not let her face shift at all.
"Your House is my House, General," she says. It is the kinder option. The other option would be to remind him that he does not determine what is fitting for her place, at any time. It is, and always will be, the other way around. But words get sharp and tongues get loose at this hour of the evening, and she is an adult. She can keep a proper hold on hers. "It is no trouble. It is already done. Go to sleep. Keep the guard rotations as they are. Julien will be well in hand by tomorrow."
***
To sidestep further drama in House Davinos, Aranessa goes to fetch Julien from his latest night of fun.
It proves...challenging. In more ways than one.

Summary
When Raimond Davinos goes to war, he leaves behind three children. He returns to two children, and a stranger.
Raimond figures his son just needs direction. Discipline. He’s always been harder on Julien than the rest; he is the eldest, after all. He needs to be prepared for the burden of his inheritance. He has the talent, and a little temper is manageable, with the correct guidance.
This will be fine. Raimond will find a way to make it so.

The Gentleman-Scholar by babypangolin

Summary
For centuries, commoners and aristocrats alike have flocked to the capital for the Imperial Examinations. Thousands and thousands of young men dream of reading their names on the Golden Placard, promising wealth and status at the heart of the empire.
This year, the stakes were higher than ever: Emperor Lan had declared that the first-ranked scholar would win not only a coveted spot in his cabinet, but also the hand of Princess Lan Zhan.
In hindsight, Wei Ying probably should have considered that before dressing up as a man and taking the exam under her brother's name. In her defence, how was she supposed to know that all these other young gentlemen-scholars were so dumb?
