Summary
It all weaves together in her mind like shimmering golden threads forming a pattern that she can trace over and follow closely. Around and around, upward and back. She untangles it all, smoothing out the snarls, before lacing it back together once more. That nagging feeling in the recess of her mind grows more insistent. Same as the one she would often get in Arlathan; a precursor to the catastrophic eruption of an artifact or the heralding sign of a disturbance in the Fade just before it manifested into an anomaly. That niggling indication of trouble.
***
The events of Bloodbath take a turn, a mystery unfolding before the Veilguard as House Dellamorte becomes a battleground.Series

Summary
“You told me to settle my business,” he rushes to say, kneeling before her. “To clear my head. My business is settled. Zara is dead. Illario is…not important. Not now.

***
Days after things came to head at Villa Dellamorte, Lucanis has his revenge, he is First Talon.
But there is one thing he's missing, one last bit of business to conclude. And for that, he needs Taliesin.Series

She smiles again in a way that makes his chest tighten. “It’s just nice seeing the Great Lucanis in his natural environment,” she quips, sneaking another sip of her own drink before taking off toward the market square. “Get a move on, Crow! Or you’ll miss out on the fish vendor again.” She snatches up his free hand, carefully juggling her own coffee and the stowaway snoozing in her coat.“Let me guess, your new friend is going to need fish?”
“Not just for him,” she says. “I want you to make the paella again. With the prawns.”
***
Taliesin welcomes a new member of the Veilguard. Lucanis notices she has an endearing habit.

“We could do this instead of sparring,” she suggests offhandedly, gauging his reaction.The Crow huffs a laugh and tilts his head back to look up at her. “Afraid I'll thrash you again?”
Her nose scrunches indignantly. “As if you've ever thrashed me,” she sniffs. “The instance you're referring to was clearly a draw.”
Lucanis cocks a brow at her. “Oh? We could always go for a tie-breaker, mi amor. How about now?”
***
Taliesin and Lucanis share a moment and reflect on the meaning of scars. Even the ones that can't be seen.

Summary
SPOILERS FOR ASPECTS OF LUCANIS' BACK STORY AND RECRUITMENT.
***
The elven mage looks up as she swiftly pushes the door shut behind her. She blinks, obviously not having expected him. “Shit,” she mutters. “I'm sorry. I…uh…need somewhere to hide.”He stares back at her, his mind struggling to make sense of her words. Surely she would not have come here had danger found them. “Hide?” he echoes, brow furrowing.
She bobs her head in a quick nod and moves further into the room, glancing around quickly. “Been trying to get away for an hour. I promise you won't even know I'm here.”
He watches in confused fascination as she crouches down to shuffle around a few crates and canvas sacks to slip underneath the kitchen counter a few feet to his left before pulling everything back into place to shield her hiding spot.
Her disembodied voice calls out, “Carry on!” before she goes silent.
***
Lucanis gets to know Taliesin.

Summary
“You don’t get it.”
“Well, of course I don’t get it,” he says. “You’ve barely said anything about it.”
“Because it’s hard, all right?” Maybe you shouldn’t eat the rest of the mango. You might rip the poor thing to shreds, make a mess of yourself and his desk, all in the name of what? Showing your hand, too? “Don’t you see how hard it is to put your life on the line every day, without a second thought, and then choke up over… over…”
Sylus doesn’t give you the words. “Go on,” he says. “Say it.”
Your jaw tightens. He drew it out of you. The words on your tongue and the heat in your face. That’s what you’ll say later, if anyone asks. “Over sex, okay?”

Or: Night of Secrecy was supposed to happen. Supposed to. Except it didn’t. And there’s a reason why it didn’t.

Summary
“I haven’t,” he says, because he has been hers his whole life, never even considered another option. Why would he? When she fits so perfectly in his arms and his favorite color has always been the shade her eyes turn when the sun hits them just so.
Then he says, a bit shortly, if only to hide the shakiness in his voice, “Why do you want to know so badly, huh? Are you going to rub it in that you’re more experienced than me?”
