    Summary

    Tamacti Jun insists Maghra make a choice.
    [Follow up to my story "Ashes". Major spoilers for the series. Set about a year after the end of season 3.]

    ~Over time, his concern for her, as a daughter of the king, had evolved into respect for a ruler struggling to do the right thing, and finally, as admiration for the woman who faced tragedy with fortitude. It had not taken long for them to rebuild the trust previously damaged by her sister’s deceit. He had been content with that. Until she made the offer—or perhaps it had been an order—more explicit.

    “I don’t want to be alone,” she had said, during the first winter after her husband had died.

    That which is frozen feels no pain, but something in him had begun to thaw during that bitterly cold season, and the memory of all he lost grew sharper with each warm encounter.~

    Summary

    In the aftermath of the battle of Pennsa, Queen Maghra seeks answers from Tamacti Jun.
    [Set at the end of S3 ep 8. Major spoilers for the end of the series!]

    ~Whatever happened after the day she left him for dead had made the years in his voice more apparent, but Tamacti Jun still offered what he always did—something solid to stand by in times of turmoil. Inviting anyone to partake in the ritual of her grief felt strange, but she had done it all the same, prying him out of the palace early in the morning, before some military necessity claimed him.~

    Summary

    New orders await Tamacti Jun, but will he accept them?
    [Events immediately following the S1 ep3 scene where Queen Kane intercepts Tamacti Jun on the edge of the Kanzua dam.]

    ~Staff gripped firmly in hand, Tamacti Jun waited for whatever had overcome his queen to run its course. The narrow bridge, moments ago a means to an end, was now a cause for concern, and he dared not move until she had composed herself. Despite his long absence, some things had not changed. The queen of Paya had always been ruled by emotion, but after so many years, he believed there was little she could do to surprise him—until she had suddenly joined him, inches from eternity.~
