    Summary

    Astarion doesn’t need a reflection to know himself – two hundred years of servitude has shown him exactly what he’s good for. Odd that his new partner seems to disagree.

    Or, five times Astarion regretted being seen over the past centuries, and one time he didn’t.

    Summary

    Being in the prince’s legion--the sixth cohort, somehow--is not so different from being in training. He is still the youngest. He keeps his mouth shut unless he’s asked; he listens. He learns. There is so much to learn, every day, always.

    (The prince would not remember him; it has been eight years. His skin is burnt and his hair is short and he is not eight years old anymore.)

    Summary

    “And I wish that I were not any part of the fifth generation of men, but had died before it came, or been born afterward. For here now is the age of iron.

    Never by daytime will there be an end to hard work and pain, nor in the night to weariness, when the gods will send anxieties to trouble us.”

    Summary

    “Hermes,” Hades interrupts, taking his seat between Hermes and Nyx. He considers the blanket before them, the assorted odds and ends—a child’s sword, a length of ivy brought here who knows how, a small pile of emeralds, a laurel crown not so unlike Hades own that raises a number of questions, a vial of—

    “Is that blood?” Hades asks.

    “No idea,” Hermes says brightly. “Hypnos picked everything out.”

    —blood, why did he allow Hypnos to arrange this?
