Summary
Nothing but myths and tales of darkness surround the Northern Lands. Men get lost in the mist, fall victim to bandits and never return. So is it wise for Gwaine and Leon to go there in name of their king? Perhaps not… but the old druids have long ago foretold their arrival and how their unique bond will change the future.

Summary
- It fucking burns, hearing that they've so easily accepted Copley into the fold, when Booker's sentence is exile, is missing out on whatever years Andy has left. But then again, Copley hadn't necessarily betrayed them, just provided Booker the means to do so. -
Booker drinks, gets a job, sort of just...ends up with a boyfriend, and finds his family again.

Summary
"I wish you're not so eager to meet your death, Al-Tayyib," he said, slapping Yusuf's back. "Let your 72 virgins wait a little longer in heaven, eh?" he grinned.
Yusuf grimaced. He never was one to hang on to that heavenly promise. Seventy-two virgins. What would you do with 72 virgins? What do 72 virgins know? He didn't even think he knew what to do with one virgin. Seventy-two virgins in heaven sounded like an epic chore.
He had had so many questions on that subject that he's sure they would have declared him a heretic had he not been so good at fighting.
Eyes in the colour of gloomy sky and hair like the sand of Judaean desert came to his mind, unbidden. Though it's impossible he would find the owner on the battlefield again. Yusuf had killed him last time.
Hell, he thought they had killed each other.
———
Or, the five times Yusuf and Nicolo killed each other and the one time they didn't.

Summary
In 1832, a young ambitious Gascon arrives in Paris. He is a descendant of the Great d' Artagnan and hopes to live up to his family name in the service of the Musketeers*. The world however is not that of his great ancestor. This is France after the Revolution that deposed the Bourbon monarchy and after the fall of Napoleon. Louis Philippe is now King of the French, assisted by his powerful advisor, the vampire, Minister Guizot. It is also a world in the aftermath of the sinister events of March 1817 that ended with the disappearance of the two English magicians, Mr. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, and the coming of the Raven King who now rules from the Throne of Rome. Since then, boundaries between this world and the Other Lands have collapsed unleashing powers no one has been able to contain. A new prophecy speaks of new heroes, allies, and a sacrifice of love but the Raven King suppresses it because it clearly is not what he had expected. Who are these heroes and how are their destinies intertwined with the strange fate of the two lost magicians?
*Dear Reader, please note that historically, the Musketeers had been disbanded by this period. I hope you can suspend your...disbelief!
