    Summary

    Someone slams into him as they walk along the road.
    “My apologies,” a man’s voice says.
    A trickle of water from a fountain snaps his attention away from whoever it was he bumped into. Lucanis needs to fill up his waterskin, so he walks away briskly.
    “Levity,” Spite says. Lucanis ignores him.

    In the time of peace, things can get very boring. Luckily for the Antivan Crows, there is always something to do. In this particular case, it means travelling to Rivain on a contract for a target Lucanis and Illario know nothing about. Not the most inconvenient place to go, since Lucanis could use help with an increasingly demanding Spite, and Rivain is teeming with seers.

    Summary

    - “BigBoy777”? really?

    Henry groaned - he had forgotten the name because he hadn’t set up his profile to begin with. That had been another ex-girlfriend, Bianca, and - wait a minute, when and why had his exs unionized to demand he get regular hole.

    Honestly though this guy’s name wasn’t much better: “LordLP”. “Lord”? in this modern year of Our Lord. “LP”? Music business guy? Record enthusiast?

    yeah sorry a friend set this up for me -

    - oh so you’re not a trap account lovely
    - so… did your friend want to sabotage you or … ?

    I mean it works I’m not a small guy by any measure -

    Henry gets asked to do sex work for a random guy on a hookup app. The guy has a hot body and Henry's a poor grad student, so he figures, why not have a little adventure.

    Summary

    In the Shire there were two truths. The Tooks were odd and the Baggins were respectable. The Baggins family dealt in contracts and favours, and while the Shire knew that the Tooks were odd, it was the Baggins family that had other blood running through their veins.
    Bilbo Baggins did not go running out his door for want of an adventure, he went running out his door because of a terribly worded contract and a laughable quest that somehow held the spark of other.
    In this story, it is not the Tooks that held fae blood in their family tree, it is the Baggins, and theirs is so much closer to the surface.

    Summary

    “And you’re sure this is meshala,” Venndred sounds contemplative.

    “No,” he replied and scrubs his face, “but there’s nothing else I can think of to describe how I feel. I have felt deep… unconditional love… This is not that. This is… all consuming. I would-” he cuts himself off, swallows, mildly horrified at what he’s about to say, “I would disrupt these talks if it means taking her out of here and bringing her home. If the choice was between this alliance and her…" His lip curls a little, bearing his teeth, "I would meet the Vaitel with Lenia alone and smite them to the furthest depths of space,” he shudders.

    “That’s a frankly horrifying thought,” Venndred’s voice is its typical mildly cheerful tone as he seems to sit with it.

    “It’s terrifying…” he looks at the screen, “I have the entirety of Lenia under my care and... I could wipe us out because I found my heartsong…"
    ************
    Daimion Athannus never wanted to be King of Lenia, never wanted the power or the weight of the crown.
    And now he has a war to win, an alliance to settle... and the single wrench that could foil the entire thing.

    Summary

    Another way the Baron rose to power. Another way the wizard became a Knight.

    This is what happens when you take your lessons in heroism from Machiavelli and Vetinari.
