    Summary

    It wasn’t like he tried to hide it, when his season was near.

    He got tetchy; waspish. He pushed. He hid away. He snapped over his plants, his food, his gifts. Protective. Unreasonable. He knows his propensity for mood swings. He knows it grew worse. The Lamb noticed; he’d known they did. They were never a fool, really.

    -

    It was him who came crawling to the Lamb. His tormentor. His savior. For he knew he was favored, and he knew what the favor of gods could get you, if you asked right. Especially a god so merciful as the Lamb. So soft. So kind.

    Summary

    After months, the Lamb finally brought Shamura back from the depths of Purgatory. But without their Crown, they can barely remember anything, let alone their family; it will be up to the ex-Bishops of the Old Faith to help their eldest. But Shamura's memory is not the only thing that has been destroyed all those years ago, and adressing old wounds may not be easy for the five siblings...

    Summary

    They take a moment to consider him. They didn't think, at this point, that they'd ever again have to make an example of a spouse that was getting a little too comfortable taking liberties with their grace. In hindsight, that was silly of them. Narinder remembers living the selfish existence of a god. He still loves like one, in many ways. But that time is past.

    It does give them some good ideas, though. The Lamb, too, knows how to love like a god.

    On spousal entitlement, absolution, and getting with the times.

    Summary

    Oh, now it makes sense. Really, if he’d been thinking about it he could’ve caught onto it ages ago. His coming-home routine is, at least by Xhorhasian romance novel standards, bordering on openly lewd.
