Summary
After the revolution, governing a fledgling Saharian Union is easier said than done.
Particularly when it comes to healing the harms dealt by the last regime, with wounds healed on the surface but festering beneath
Particularly when building on a fragile peace with the Highwing Remnants, a fiercely independent faction with existential problems of their own.
Particularly with the Downside gone, perhaps forever, old friends lost to a void that even starlight cannot penetrate.
With all that in mind, when an unexpected visitor claims a miraculous solution, perhaps it is natural to spring for it. But a miracle can be a mirage, friends may be false and even true allies rarely are as they seem on first sight.

Summary
They march.
Their group is sizeable, a good hundred of the revolution’s agents trailing behind a small number of figures clad in the white raiments of their ascension. Hedwyn, their Golathanian, walks arm-in-wing with his Fikani; Jodariel, Soliam Murr incarnate, has a tight hold on Ignarius’ hand, their horns knocking together affectionately; Ti’zo, the spitting image of his grandfather, sits atop the wild hair of Chae, who’s all but skipping alongside Almer and Dalbert of the Fate. Seven of the eight Scribes and their friends, their entourage, marching shoulder to shoulder down the alabaster streets.
Oralech stands alone at the head of the procession, dressed in the uniform of a field medic that marks him even more recognisable than the bright robes of those behind him. He would have donned his raiments as well, out of a sense of uniformity if nothing else, but the Demon’s clothing no longer fit his diminished frame.
He is no Demon, and he is no Scribe. He is the star that beckons them ever onward.

Summary
Brighton hates it when the Shimmer-Pool pierces the grand hall of his empire. It means someone returns, someone he doubts is truly worthy, even if the Scribes deem it so. He once traversed that pillar of pure light to escape the Downside, but he holds no warmth for those who follow in his wake.
Except for one.
Brighton reunites with someone he never thought he'd see again.

Summary
Why expect any less from Manley? Of course he got what he wanted—again and again. That’s why Brighton returned to his bed after every Rite against each other, why he tolerated his brazen behavior, and why he lingered each morning.
Against his better judgment, Brighton stays with Manley into the morning. Again.

The path to revolution never ran truly smooth. Stranded in the Downside at the last, Volfred Sandalwood resigned himself to a quiet retirement in obscurity, away from Saharian politics.

Summary
“Just brush off the snow and—”
“Brush off?!” He reeled back with a dramatic gasp, twiggy hand braced on his chest for emphasis. “How dare you not take these stolen moments together as seriously as I do!”
Why do I tolerate someone as outrageous as you? he kept to himself. But he knew why. He had for some time.
The night before the final Rite, Brighton meets with the only one who made him long for something other than freedom.

Some Reader/Archjustice fluff because I hardly see anything with this paring apart from spare friendship in other fics.

Hitch Your Wagon to the Stars by That Hoopy Frood (That_Hoopy_Frood)
Fandoms: Pyre (Video Game)
15 Dec 2018

Summary
The Downside is unkind to those who dare to hope.
Either hot enough to scorch the flesh, or wet enough to scour paint from clapboard, or else so cold, an errant gust could freeze the skin, the landscape is unforgiving, the terrain, treacherous, the Triumvirates, ruthless.
The Rites, absolute.
Options for surviving the Downside are as vast as the horizon, a circle and thus infinitely broad. Yet the Reader knows each choice must be made with the utmost caution, for the footprints the Nightwings leave behind are as important as the Path they follow. They’re part of the same journey — the story of the Scribes. Of those who return in glory, and those who remain in exile to the end of their days.
The Rites have, perhaps, turned the world into a cruel and at times inhospitable place. The thing, considers the Reader, that makes it all bearable is the love that moves in sync with the cadence of forgiveness, sings in tune with the melody of liberation, and dances in rhythm with the music of companionship.
A love that moves the Stars and the soul both...

Summary
Brighton feels like he’s burning alive, inside out.
He should have known that his drink tasted off (too much sugar, saccharine sweet to mask whatever was added), and he’s a damn fool for not realizing until his plate shattered against the floor, knocked over in his sudden dizziness.In which the Archjustice is poisoned, and the Chief-Physician comes to his rescue.
