Summary
"Thom and Alan of Trebond,” Coram told the guard who motioned for them to halt. “They’re here to begin their service at Court.”
The guard glanced over the three travelers. Alanna could hear her heart beating in her ears, so strong it must be visible through her clothes. This was the first test. Would the people at the palace see through her? Or would they, like the innkeepers on the road, see short hair and a boy’s name and not think further?
The guard stepped back. “Welcome to the palace,” he said, and let them in.
Directed by the Gods, Maude sends both Thom and Alanna to page training.

Summary
"Everyone knew that the King’s Champion was a woman now. She’d heard three variations on the story, but everyone agreed that she’d started as a little girl, binding her chest and cutting her hair to disguise herself as a boy. She’d been a child then, and noble to boot. Asha had never met a noble, but she got the impression from the way people talked that they mostly sat around ordering other people to do real work for them. As if by magic, here was the solution that would make everyone happy. Ma and Da could stop their worrying, Leyla would stay in the shop where she belonged, and Asha wouldn’t be marooned on Staffast for the rest of her life, staring out a window while sticking her fingers with needles."

Look. Sometimes you binge all of the Tortall books, and then you get violently depressed about there not being more, and then you do your level best to create a book in the same universe that scratches the same itch. Behold! 100k words about sailing and piracy in the land of Tortall, written by someone with exactly zero knowledge of either! You too may now enjoy the story of someone trying to do what Alanna did, but worse and on a boatBookmarked by Athilda

Summary
Molly Ferrier had not expected to find a woman sitting naked in a hole out in the middle of the forest. Surely, no one expected that. How had she gotten there? What happened to her? Who was she?
Even in a world of magic and mythical creatures, where the gods made their power known - this was strange.

Summary
"Magic exists to serve man, and never to rule over him. Foul and corrupt are they who have taken His gift, and turned it against His children. They shall be named Maleficar, accursed ones. They shall find no rest in this world, or Beyond." Anders knew the verse. Every mage did. But Anders was a runner. He ran from the Circle. He ran from the Templars. He ran from relationships. So what did he care? He was never going to rest anyway.

Summary
No matter what people say, Essek isn’t a god. As far as the proper classification goes, he’s not even a lesser idol. But he is a deity and the powers he possesses make people whisper his name like a prayer and seek his guidance in matters that transcend knowledge of mortal arcanists.
But, in the end, it's always the same: they cower in fear before him as soon as they realise the size of destruction he’s capable of. There’s no reason to believe that Caleb Widogast would be any different.
EDIT: Now with my version of Exandrian myth of creation with Luxon as the main star!

Liam said Essek and Caleb would eventually become romantically involved - once they worked out their own shit. And I decided to run with it.
Also, Caleb is full of angst and trauma and I just couldn't leave that alone.

Summary
It wasn’t consecution.
How could it be? Essek wasn’t consecuted. Even if he had been, consecution didn’t work like this. He’d know if it did; he’d spent years searching for any scrap of information about what was happening to him.
He found nothing.
-*-
Every time Essek dies, he wakes up on the day he meets the Mighty Nein. He's tried everything to avoid, subvert or kill them, but so far nothing has worked. He's already died fifteen times. He refuses to die a sixteenth.
