    Summary

    Elfhame does not easily yield its crown.
    Jude Duarte knows this. She has bled for it, lied for it, and learned how to hold it steady while the court sharpened itself against her.
    So when she realizes she is carrying an heir, she also understands what the kingdom will make of it: a threat, a weakness, a future to be contested.
    Whispers turn to schemes.
    Schemes turn to knives.
    And for the first time since she claimed power, Jude is forced to consider something unthinkable—not how to win, but how to protect what cannot be fought for in the open.
    What she does not expect is that the High King will make a choice of his own.
    Because this time, the story is not about who rules Elfhame.
    It is about who they choose to become when the crown is no longer the only thing worth keeping.

    --

    Set after The Prisoner’s Throne.
    Explores the political consequences of Oak’s refusal of the crown and the instability it brings to Elfhame.

    Summary

    When a bullying controversy erupts against Kim Seungmin, the Korean entertainment industry turns its back on him. To protect Stray Kids, he chooses to step away, leaving the group to continue as seven.

    Far from the noise and flashing headlines, he rebuilds his life in Ireland-trading stage lights for steel structures and corporate silence. There, in a place where his name means nothing, he meets a colleague who quietly becomes the reason his exile feels less like punishment... and more like staying.

    ✦─•⋆✧⋆✠⋆✧SEUNGMIN's POV✧⋆✠⋆✧•─✦

    I never thought exile would feel like staying instead of punishment.

    When I left, I told myself it was temporary.

    When the controversy cleared, I would go back. Back to the noise.
    Back to the stage.
    Back to the space I worked so hard to earn.

    I was certain of it.

    Until Ireland stopped feeling like exile.

    Until working beside her made the silence bearable.

    Now I'm not sure anymore.

    Because leaving her feels more like punishment

    than leaving Seoul ever did.

    Summary

    Hiccup has messed up big time. Why couldn't he just kill the Monstrous Nightmare like he was expected to? Why wasn't he enough of a Viking.

    His father hates him. Berk hates him. His father disowned him in the spot. So why not leave? It's not like they need him anyways. He was too weak for them and easily disappointed them each time. Leaving Berk just made sense.
