Summary
As December rolled around, it was the same angels that led her back through the forest. They chided her gently, falling to the wind as it swept across the mountain. The same angels were hidden in the gaps of snow, wings drawn from the dirt beneath the hollows. She breathed life into the halos even as her insides bled and burned, blood coating the inside of her mouth.
––-
In which Fosca ponders the condition of love, death and the nature of one's own end.

Summary
Used by the crown and reviled by the public, Adira is known for the poisonous honey her sacred bees produce. She secludes herself away from it all, carefully tending to her bees and trying not to fall too hard for Ranni, a palace cook who doesn't have the good sense to be afraid of her. But when machinations are revealed to be at work in the palace, poisons may be at the heart of the problem — and the solution.

This story was my baby for a long time and I still have a lot of fondness for it. I couldn't have done it without mesoterica, who was my amazing beta and one-woman cheerleading squad throughout the process.

Summary
Bobbie and Chrisjen, post-canon, in love and making it work while Chrisjen rebuilds Earth and Bobbie splits her time between Earth and the Rocinante. And if an ongoing joke gets a little out of hand, well, these things happen.
Or: what happens when I take a vague concept and combine it with every single stray thought I've ever had about hypothetical interactions between these two.

Summary
Laira sighs a trembling breath right into her leg. The relief is obvious, if muted. And god, Laira just seems to melt under her. She tries to focus back on her hands: massaging her back softly, trying to push the endorphins along the cords of muscle and back through her body. Her skin is flushed such a pretty color under her hands, and she’s so warm-
‘Nope, no’ She internally smacks the thought. ‘Not here, not now.’Fellas, is it gay to offer to give a massage to your touch-starved boss that you’ve been crushing on for weeks? Is it gayer if she says yes? Or is it only gay if you touch her shoulder ridges?

Summary
Grandmother ruled Gir Niajra, and always had.
Jummai felt certain this was so, mostly because it was impossible to imagine otherwise: anyone, anyone at all, seated so comfortably on that great golden throne except Grandmother? Anyone who could look or speak with such authority, to whom so many great and worthy people bowed down? No—only Grandmother. It had always been Grandmother, and it always would be.
Then Grandmother died; and there was a war.
(Or: Jummai is a princess without a throne—but she has no intention of leaving to others what is rightfully hers. She needs a wife with an army, and gets one; but her wife seems impervious to her tactical charm, she keeps making mistakes, and her cousin still wants her dead.)

Summary
It was the wanting that doomed me.
They said later that I was rude, or ungrateful, but I’m not stupid. I know how to put on manners, like a cloak; I know how to playact my sister’s docility.
No, after I had served her as, well, serviceably as a country girl could think to do, that witch pinned me with her gaze. She curled her lip, and said, with a sneer, “honesty is the best policy, my dear.”Series
