    Summary

    “Peaceful.” Kunikuzushi quirked an eyebrow. “That’s a way to put it. I’d call it boring, personally.”

    “Maybe.” Small motes of dust danced through a stale breeze scented of wood polish and old vents, golden sunlight seeped in through the front windows, and for a brief moment Kunikuzushi thought Kazuha had never looked more beautiful.

    The man tilted his head back, sighing. “Life is so hectic. It’s wonderful, and I love it, but it would be nice to just… breathe once in a while.”

    Kunikuzushi wasn’t exactly sure what to say to that, not being very well-versed in the department of casual social interaction. He didn’t have to figure it out, in the end. Kazuha’s voice, almost soft enough to be carried away with dust particles and oxygen molecules, spoke, “You’re the closest I can get to peace.”

    Kunikuzushi decided he should get around to telling his mother to replace the missing “6” key on the cash register.

    or: Kunikuzushi has a running theory that the customer who frequently visits his parents' music shop is also his favorite idol. He shouldn't be entertaining such a stupid theory as much as he does.

    Summary

    The next morning, Kinich sent Ajaw to the shower and set off after him. The devil only knew whether the great K'uhul Ajaw would successfully complete this task, or would try to destroy everything when he couldn’t figure out how to turn on the faucet and make the water flow. And later, when the issue of cleanliness had already been resolved, he left him alone. But Ajaw didn’t and won’t leave Kinich alone.

    Summary

    Ajaw is the fastest courier, the youngest warrior and the sin his parents left behind. He is a trickster, an unwanted child, the Name Engraver's one and only student and also a stain in her name.

    Ajaw is also an Ancient Name bearer, one who met a lonely and ancient existence deep inside a death trap, and made a deal with him. He is Malipo Ajaw of the Turnfire, a partner to Dragonlord Kinich, and that's never going to change no matter what other people say.

    (Or, a tale if the roles were reversed, a developing friendship, and the potential for more.)

    Summary

    As the Sovereign of the Nation of Flame, He possessed virtue and dignity befitting His noble station.

    His most cherished indulgences were simple pleasures: sipping quenepa berry juice His servant offered, savoring the hearty stews His servant prepared, and most delightfully, teasing His ever-practical, ever-quiet servant who measured everything in equal exchange.

    Therefore, K'uhul Ajaw chose suicide.

    This is a story about finding the answer to "What does it mean to save the world?"

    Summary

    Hurt them before they can hurt him, that is what Ajaw believes. Not that they could hurt him, anyway — he’d have them running before they could even inch just a step too close.

    At least, that’s what he would say.
