    Summary

    The Dean of the College of Cardinals asks him, “Do you accept?”
    Vincent breathes, then says, “Non accepto.”

    One Cardinal Benítez refuses the Papacy, thinking himself better suited for the heavy work of helping the impoverished. This action, of course, has consequences.
    Hey, at least, the angels will be well-entertained for a good while.

    Summary

    "Yeah. I've been teaching the kid about the Kin traditional medicine, keeping him out of trouble the best I can. Though you'd probably say I'm indoctrinating him with backwater lies or some bullshit like that," Artemy spat.

    Daniil contemplated for a second more. "I think we've been tricked."

    Artemy chuckled, shaking his head in disbelief. "Go on."

    "Sticky is my apprentice, Burakh," Daniil revealed at last. "I have been teaching him pharmacology and medicine—or I've been trying to. Unless he has an evil twin like the Changeling, he's been two-timing us."

    Sticky doesn't get why his mentors Daniil and Artemy are at each other's throats all the time. He takes matters into his own hands.

    Summary

    To Daniil's shock, Artemy instantly blushed redder than the bloody twyre, all the way from the bridge of his nose across his cheeks to the tip of his ears. His eyes widened, and he glanced between the underwhelming nosegay and Daniil's face repeatedly, raising his hand to cover his mouth.

    "Wh—Wow, oynon, this is... I didn't expect this from you," Artemy stammered, his tone low and almost raspy.

    "Yes, well. I've learned at least some things about the Steppe, haven't I?" Daniil preened, shooting him a modest grin.

    "Ah, I suppose you have, oynon... th—thank you, truly."

    Daniil gifts Artemy herbs without realizing that he's propositioning him according to Kin tradition. Culture shock shenanigans ensue.

    Summary

    It was bad enough being asked to share a study and bedroom with a junior mistress in the first place, let alone a great overgrown tomboy like the new assistant gym mistress.

    Never mind that she was handsome and surprisingly kind, and that it had been such a very long time since anyone had touched Rosina, even to brush her hair.

    Summary

    It was good. Really good. The sponge was perfectly golden, its texture as light and sweet as a summer sun shower. The edges were moist with the chocolate sauce they had been soaked in, sweet and sugary and with just a tiny hint of bitterness, Jake must have used really good chocolate, and the nuttiness of the coconut contrasted perfectly in texture. Deceptively easy to eat, feeling like he was hardly chewing anything at all, and absolutely delicious. He finished the large cube before he had even realised it, and worse, caught himself gathering the sticky coconut off his fingers with his tongue.

    Jake was leaning slightly forward, touching his lip with his tongue. David could feel the blood burning in his cheeks. For a moment he had forgotten his self-consciousness in his delight, and now he realised he was a plump man, scarfing down cake in public like he was starving. He had probably dropped a thousand flakes of desiccated coconut onto his belly.  And Jake was staring at him hungrily. Poor boy probably never touched his own baking, to maintain a figure like his.

    "You should have one too," David said awkwardly. "It can hardly be fun for you, sitting and watching me eat."

    "Try me."
