    Summary

    While docked in Sigil for repairs, VR-LA vanishes.
    As a sinister scheme unfolds, and a plot against the Magister which has been playing out for centuries is revealed, his crew and friends find themselves in a scramble against time to save him... or at least whatever is left of him.

    Summary

    As VR-LA and Maxim settle into their stabilised friendship, they endeavour to work together more, starting spell research together. Rather than force the wizard to travel back and forth, Maxim invites him to stay.
    But the proximity erodes at the facade beneath which he hides his pain. Even as it does, as his feelings are exposed to the light, those old wounds start to mend. Maybe, if they play their cards right, something else can bloom in its place.

    Title from the song House a Habit by We Are the Guests

    Summary

    “So then, before I can even think about doing something stupid like trying to stab him with his fucking golden paperknife, he gives me a choice, see?" Haymitch continued, almost detached. "Either I play nice like all the other victors or he will kill my family. I could either become his puppet – greatest punishment he could give me, according to him – or I could become the example.”

    AU in which Haymitch's family lives. Hayffie

    Summary

    Oh, when you love it. Oh, when you used to sing it to sleep.

     

    In another world, another time, the Chain faces down Deshival the Forsaken; his ex-husband deals the killing blow, with a prayer for his soul.

    In this world, Arvain saves him instead - but it's not enough to just change sides. The war has been bloody, particularly since Deshival was put at the helm of the dread vampire Valmore's forces; Deshival may have agreed to slay his Sire and current husband, but that hardly absolves him of his crimes against Arlan. One can only attain redemption through toil and effort - but it remains to be seen whether Deshival even wants to be redeemed.

    Only time can tell if Deshival is the same man Arvain married all those years ago.


    * This is an AU of a homebrew setting; background on the setting and characters will be given in chapter notes
    * I've rated this M for violence, swearing, and general awfulness in the premise/setting
    * The title/italics quote is from this excellent poem by Caitlyn Siehl, who writes lots of wonderful poetry
