Summary
Young Cleon vows never to be like his older brother, when he becomes emperor of the Galaxy. He witnesses the unfortunate destiny of a small girl called Aenea, whose fate, from that moment onwards, seems forever linked to his own. As they move forward with their own lives and grow into adulthood, their paths cross again. Neither know that Cleon's fate, as well as that of the empire, may well change forever, all because of flawed genetic engineering and an unexpected event that follows.
The balance in the empire has been disturbed and along with it danger threatens the lives of both. Neither realise that the threat originates from closer to home than they could have ever imagined.

Zaylina finds herself thrust into the Cloud Dominion, caught between power, prophecy, and survival. With every move watched, every word weighed, she must learn to navigate an empire where loyalty is fragile, enemies wear the face of allies, and nothing—not even her own identity—can be trusted.

there’s a big black hole (where my heart used to be) by Helholden

Summary
“I could always jump, but I never do. I sometimes think it was him, the one that tried to run away with the gardener. That maybe I’m dreaming of him. That I’m him—but I’m not.” His eyes glaze over, the memory haunting him. “He jumped once, you know. It’s not public knowledge. Straight out of his window—to the ground. His aura saved him, but even with mine on . . . I don’t think I could do it.”
“That makes you different, though,” Gaal points out. She doesn’t have an answer for all the rest. It’s just a dream, after all. “If he could jump, but you can’t. So, what makes you like him?”
His answer is one word. He exhales it out in a single breath from between his lips like a prayer said before bedtime—before the darkness takes you, and you never know if you’re going to wake up again. His eyes never leave hers. Not once.
“You.”

Summary
“It will be weird, so bear with me. You’ll be kinda-sorta feeling what Miss Dornick was feeling, but also observing her like she is in a good ol’ scatter. During our brief rendezvous, I fished out enough good stuff from her pretty brain. So much for that ‘fortress’! Anyway, open wide, Empire.”
Post-S3. Dawn makes unwise comments on love and treachery. In retaliation, Bayta shows him some memories from Gaal's head.

Soul of the Cosmos | Emperor Cleon (Brother Day) by chloesolace
Fandoms: Foundation (TV 2021)

Summary
Aura is the youngest member of the Ring of Zephyrs and her popularity among the others accordingly low. After Proxima Opal's death, more and more followers of Luminism turn towards the preachings of the Primary Octavo, according to which the Emperor's clones are soulless beings. Inhuman, unnatural.
While tensions arise within the Ring, Aura secretly travels to Trantor to inform the Emperor of the dangers ahead and offer her aid. With the Luminists conflicted between following or denying the Empire, Aura only sees one way to preserve the teachings of the New Octavo; prove to the Ring that Emperor Cleon possesses a soul. Meanwhile, an icy power awakens within her, putting her and her growing relationship with the Emperor at risk... -

Summary
“Why don’t you come over here?” she finally suggests, her voice deeper, lower than usual; it sounds like she’s flirting with him, but sometimes Dawn can’t tell with her. He doesn’t want to press into the line of whatever this is, shattering the illusion he’s built in his head. He’s imagined her face a million times before going to bed; sometimes, laughing, other times, gasping, with her mouth wide open and the shadows abound all around them as she shudders out a moan. He thinks about her all the time. He thinks about her too much.
Dawn looks down at his glass of liquor. Swirls it between the crystalline walls—and downs the entire thing in one gulp. It burns going down.
Strength. Wisdom. Fortitude.
This is neither of those things.

Summary
Despite three long years of covert meetings in the shadows with Gaal Dornick, or perhaps even because of them, he had learned a few things along the way.
One. Never underestimate your enemy, even upon entering negotiations with them.
Two. Always have a backup plan outside of the original plan.
Three. Don’t fall in love with them. But no matter how hard he had tried to prepare himself, he was already gone.
.
Gaal finds herself caught in a predicament when she discovers Dawn is still alive, and his decanted clone is with her. Unable to sacrifice him twice, she rescues him—until they come across a signal in space, hailing them to approach a colony on Earth’s moon halfway across the galaxy. The answers that await them there spur more questions than either of them bargained for.
