Summary
On a planet he will surely forget, Heinrix van Calox laces his boots, buttons his shirt and works alone as he almost always does. On a ship she cannot forget, Hara von Valancius stands before a towering portrait of her predecessor, and silently prays someone will come and take her place next.
Somewhere far away, the moment of reckoning rumbles across numberless stars.
The story of the Rogue Trader, through the eyes of those who have lived it.

Summary
Isha awakes after horrifying nightmares to sever old threads. Plans are made as Heinrix and Isha discover a lingering effect of her ailing health. Gallows humour abounds, but comfort can be found even in the most minuscule of gestures.
CW: nightmares, discussions of death and illness
“Isha, what was the Aeldari doing here?”
“We had a chat,” she offered. “She requested to join us on our journey—”
And explained a curiosity about my nickname you failed to mention, Heinrix, she wished to say. Instead, she kept her observation to herself. It wasn’t the right moment to confront him with the news, not when he was already in a foul mood.
“And let me guess, you agreed?”
She shrugged, and the scarf swished against her collarbone.
“I will keep the xenos under close watch, then. You can’t allow it to roam the ship as it pleases—”
“She has a name, Heinrix. It’s Yrliet. Why don’t you use it from now on?”
A profanity as harsh as a record scratch answered her suggestion. Even without the elucidator nearby, she grasped the meaning well enough to stifle a chuckle behind her fist.
“What’s next? Do you want me to invite the Drukhari for dinner?”
“Naturally.”

Summary
As it turned out, Rusty was persistent.
It would have been ideal for Raven to have never seen him again. Then they could have at least tried to forget about him, or, failing that, relegated him to the same status in their mind occupied by the other Vespers—occasional allies, but still corporate vassals. Usually mere annoyances.
Whether he meant to or not, Rusty had other plans.
Raven is alone and desperate. Rusty pulls them into his orbit.

Summary
She is supposed to call him Jaime, Jaime Lannister. Her name, her new name that is now also the name she was born with, is Brienne Lannister, née Tarth. Soon enough, they said, her backstory would become her memories. His children would become hers, too. And they will infiltrate enemy territory in the most daring way possible—as a perfectly ordinary family.
An AU inspired by The Americans—in which Jaime and Brienne are spies working undercover as a married couple, with two children, for as many years as their country requires.
