Summary
In an alternate universe where Mélisande has returned to Terre d'Ange under an amnesty decreed by Ysandre, who wagered that forcing her to live with Phèdre and Imriel would prevent her from resuming her ambitious games of power, Kushiel's descendant once again seizes the Winter Solstice celebration to extract a secret from Phèdre.

Summary
Mélisande has returned to Terre d'Ange under an amnesty decreed by Ysandre: her new and far more effective prison is the maison where she lives with Phèdre and Imriel… along with the inevitable epic moments this entails, such as the one in this episode, where Phèdre boasts of her self-control in Mélisande's presence.

Summary
This story is part of a collection of short tales with a semi-serious tone, inspired by the Kushiel saga and drawn from a thought of Phèdre’s near the end of Kushiel’s Avatar, when she comes to define Imriel as the child of herself and Mélisande. The brilliant absurdity of that detail sparked wild fantasies in me about their family tableau, and the first episode was born almost as a joke.

Summary
The experience in Caerdicca Unitas has changed Imriel, but it has only partially removed the tension from his relationship with Phèdre. As happy as she is to have him back home, a few months after his return, it is clear that there are still unresolved issues between them, thorny and cumbersome conflicts that only one person in the world claims to be able to dissipate. With this promise, Mélisande Shahrizai suddenly reenters Phèdre's life, proposing a controversial yet indispensable pact.
Twelve years later, Kushiel's chosen and his avatar find themselves face to face: which of the two will prevail in their eternal dance of love and hate?+++
The story is narrated from Phèdre's point of view, although it is set in the Imriel's trilogy, specifically after Kushiel's Scion, but unaware of the ending where Imriel decides to read his mother's letters.
