    Summary

    There was a time in Harry's life, when Dickie was being sent to school for the first time, and Harry's mother was attempting to scrub some gentlewoman's manners into a daughter who was too much like her for the attempt to be very serious, that Harry had begged to join the Aerial Corps...

    Summary

    These are just post-canon moments, missing scenes and random scribbles inspired by the Damar series. I know Ms McKinley isn't a fan of fan fiction but I didn't want to leave that world and every time I re-read The Blue Sword, I'm reminded of how much I love it ...

    There's so much scope left to explore in this world, this story and the Harry-Corlath relationship - for instance, Harry travels with Corlath for several weeks before going for her training with Mathin. She spends 10 days at the City and then there's the journey to go against the Northerners. Then after the battle, its a full 14 day walk back to the City. Then, there are these massive time jumps between wedding and the birth of their first child and also leading up to the birth of their other three children. So many missing scenes.

    Summary

    She thinks often of Luthe as Tor and her father recover, and as she herself regains her strength; she thinks of him in his lonely castle, his blonde curls, his eyes under the glistening moon. He does feel like a dream, but a good one, as if she might close her eyes just so and re-enter it at will. As it is, she holds Tor's hand at his bedside and waits.

    Summary

    "Gonturan is far older than I am, you know; she was given to me with the weight of her own years and legend already upon her. I never knew all she might lead her bearer into -- and as it was, I learned more than enough." The Blue Sword

    Summary

    Why would an ageless, immortal Aerin take interest in Hari over everything else in the last half dozen centuries? How did those centuries change her? Why might Luthe speak to Harry of the Aerin he knew in the past tense when she was immortal? An attempted answer.

    Summary

    “What is it?”
    “Maur’s bloodstone. The last drop of blood from its heart—the fatal one. All dragons who die by bloodletting spill one of these at the last; but you’d need a hawk’s eyes to find that last curdled drop from a small dragon.”
    “Then you keep it. I’m grateful for its wizard-defeating properties, and if I have the great misfortune ever to need to defeat another wizard, I shall borrow it from you. But I don’t want it around.”
    “Very well. I shall keep it. And you will know where to find it if ever you have the need.”
    “I will know. But gods preserve me from needing that knowledge ever again.”

    Summary

    Aerin sniffed and wondered that Tor even imagined he would be going without her, in this or in anything. The new, vast desert was somehow a part of her own misfit menagerie now, something strange and new that Damar needed to accept as its own.
