    Summary

    Like sleep, like death, Five Pebbles wakes again. Except- under mysterious circumstances, he finds himself impossibly thrown into the past to the day of his instantiation, at the very beginning of it all. Eons before the series of tragedies that ruined his and his sister-iterator's lives, he wakes again forced into the fulcrum of fate, his every action threatening to spiral out into unimaginable consequences. If he wants to save Moon and prevent the future from repeating itself, though, what other choice does he have?

    However, he's not the only one who fell through time...

    Summary

    After centuries of turmoil, Humanity has expanded to the stars, just as the Incubators promised. The half-AI Government of Earth is determined to turn the planet into its vision of utopia, but the shadows of utopia hide many secrets. When an alien threat the Incubators failed to mention threatens the peace, one of those secrets steps out into the light.

    In the midst of it all, an ordinary girl looks to the sky, wondering at her place in the universe.

    Summary

    When the Infection ended without explanation, the Dreamers arose from their slumber, and the land of Hallownest began to drag itself back to life, Hornet knew there would be troubles yet to come. With most resources scarce, many of the surviving bugs left disabled by the disease, and the vast majority of agricultural infrastructure devastated, Hallownest may yet be undone: not by a higher being, but the mortal logistics of hunger. When scouts from Pharloom arrive and attempt to capture a Weaverling, Hornet sees an opportunity to turn what could be another disaster into a chance for Hallownest to recover.

    Pharloom is, as always, starved for Silk. When the Grand Mother's wayward daughters are located, under the protection of a Wyrm, forcibly reclaiming them would be dangerous. Fortunately, Hallownest is willing to offer up its Weaver princess for marriage in exchange for supplies that can easily be spared. Accompanied only by her silent knight, such a creature will surely be vulnerable to the manipulations of Pharloom's court.

    One third political drama, one third weird sword lesbian situationship, one third Five Knights At Pharloom's Is At The Organ And Going To The Play Me.

    Summary

    In a time before the legends we know begin, before time was set to the rhythm it follows now, something happened whose effects still reverberate through time, caught up and amplified by later events; locked into a pattern never quite broken, though some have tried. This is how it begins...

    A boy and a girl, newly adult, on their peaceful island in the sky.
    Far in the past, a goddess, and a sworn champion, and a stranger from a strange land.
    And further back still, a god who devours and a spirit of swordcraft, who will fall together and become greater and more terrible than ever they should have.

    It is their tangled futures that will shape the aeons to come...

    (Stories are arranged in chronological order, but the complicated Optimal Reading Order begins with The Sword Reforged. Note that this is entirely optional – it mostly maximises drama, and places one spoiler for vaguely more effect.)
