    Summary

    Ymir is an assassin, a cutthroat, and on a good night- an honest thief. But she's not the rescuing type, that's for sure.

    And yet, somehow, here she is: clinging to the side of a tower hundreds of feet above the ground to rescue a woman from a wizard and his dragon.

    For fuck's sake.

    Alternatively: They both refuse to be damsels and spend most of the book in varying amounts distress.

    Even more alternatively: the princess-in-a-tower-who-became-the-witch AU that no one asked for.

    Summary

    She had half expected that Suletta would abandon her upon moving in to Earth House. They all seem to have more in common with one another than she and Miorine do, despite the divide between Earthian and Spacian. She’s somewhat mystified that Suletta continues to come around at all.

    But then again, she is Suletta Mercury— her groom, her Holder, her business partner. She’s obviously taking her role very seriously.

    “You don’t have to wait around every time you come here. I told you you could come inside,” says Miorine when Suletta draws level with her. “It’s a standing invitation.”

    Miorine Rembran has never allowed herself to be vulnerable before. Then Suletta Mercury becomes her new Holder.

    Summary

    “So, Vi,” said her greatest vice, her greatest folly. “What do you want?”

    “You,” Vi breathed, a heated flush drifting up the column of her throat — where a single finger brushed across the underside of her chin, lifting her head up just the barest amount. “Just you.”
    ---
    (Cait/Vi) Vi has one last heist, one last con to pull off, one last heiress to rob. The plan is simple. The execution is not.

    Summary

    “About that,” Vi says. “How’d you end up here? What did a girl like you do to get tossed into this two-star shithole?”

    “Really? That’s how you ask? No subtlety in it?”

    “Uh, yeah? I saved you from getting shanked in the shower, so fair’s fair. What’s your deal, topside?”

    “Caitlyn,” she says. That isn’t right. That wasn’t the answer Vi was after. Names are easily given away but so seldomly remembered in Stillwater, but it echoes in Vi’s head. She almost doesn’t hear the actual answer. “And though I have no doubt a thousand people have given this answer before, I did nothing. I was doing my job, and then I was here. No trial. No sentencing. No crime to speak of.”

    Half a decade into Vi's stay in Stillwater, a topsider turns up, raving about being a Councillor's daughter.
