Summary
“You are still here,” Ilya said, flexing his fingers in the box of ginger ale that he carried in one hand. “I thought ‘you could not do this.’”
After his panicked escape, after possibly breaking Ilya Rozanov's heart or at least mildly inconveniencing him, Shane Hollander gets stuck outside, waiting on a ride that isn't coming. In other words: aftermath of the tuna melt scene, a little earlier than canon.

Summary
Hundreds of men in Tirragen colors had flooded the palace on Coronation Day alongside those of Eldorne and Malven. Alex had served his former knight-master in every element of his treasonous plots—had whispered in the right ears to bring Roger back to life from the Sorcerer's Sleep, had brought in Delia of Eldorne and Thom of Trebond and forced the King’s Champion into a vicious sword fight, injuring her, while she rushed to stop Roger and save Jonathan.
The king knew these things, and they were indisputable. He also knew the only thing that might save Alex, and Tirragen, from total annihilation: though Alex had won his sword fight, he had let Alanna go. He had followed her to his knight-master, and it was her side he had defended to the end.
In a world in which Alexander of Tirragen wins his fight against the Lioness, but has a change of heart, he faces his new fate. A death on Traitor's Hill, or something else entirely?

Summary
Four parts of the story in Dubai, from Louis' departure to Daniel's turning.
Armand had watched Louis leave. He was still on the floor, covered in dust, where Louis had thrown him—shape twisted at an almost unnatural angle, staring through the doorway, into the light. "You just had to keep pushing." He said it softly, amber eyes still unnervingly bright as they flicked to Daniel at last.

five times costis thought eugenia of attolia was just like her father (and one time she wasn’t) by MountainsToRivers

Summary
Eugenia, princess of Attolia, is just like her father—so Costis usually finds himself thinking, somewhere down the line as he's inevitably hurrying after her on some misadventure or another. He was the captain of the guard, and he had many other tasks. But this one—entrusted to him in private, by his worried king and queen, his friends, on one dark and frightful night or another—this one was the most important.
Perhaps it was the look in Eugenides' eyes, when he asked. I trust no one else to keep up with a thief in her element but one sworn to our god himself, he had said, and Costis knew he would spend his life in service to all three of them—king, god, and princess alike. But why did she have to be so much like Eugenides?

Summary
The period between Jonathan's agreement with Lord Wyldon to put Keladry of Mindelan on probation, and Alanna's attendance of the Progress, was one with little mention of the Lioness. Jonathan and Alanna eventually worked things out, and managed to return to a speaking relationship by the night that Kel served the lady knight and Raoul at dinner.
What happened to fill in the gaps?

Summary
Wil noh Daiomoru of Queenscove was nine when he realized that no one knew who he was.
(“Wil doesn’t know who she is.” Da’s voice was rising in pitch. “She’s nine."
“Wil is a very mature and self-aware nine-year-old,” said Aunt Kel. There was a hard edge to her voice that Wil didn’t hear very often. “And if you’re going to be hysterical about this, we’ll talk about it in the morning.”
“I think,” said Mama, “that we thought we had two daughters, but we actually have a daughter and a son.”)
________Set ten years after Lady Knight.
