Summary
“My dear friend,
I am so happy to tell you, that this Friday Sienna gave birth to a little girl. Both are feeling great and though Liam hasn’t yet grasped the concept of a younger sibling, he is quite besotted with the little one too, as am I. She was born at 7 pounds and 2 ounces, with the same blond hair her brother has too. We’ve named her Sloane. When Sienna is recovered, you must visit us!”- Recovered Correspondence from Lord Isaac Mairi to Lord Durran, February 614AU.
“It feels like I am standing at an ibis and I don’t know what to do. I can’t step forward or backward, I am stuck at the same place, forced to exist through my pain while life continuous. And I am so, so tired, I’m so angry and I just can’t do it anymore. I don’t want to be angry or mean and I certainly don’t want to be that, but maybe there is nothing more to me, maybe I am just so rotten, that anger is all there is to me!”
- recovered Correspondence from Sloane Mairi to Dain Aetos, June 625AU.A deep dive into Sloanes whole life and what it took for her to become the girl we met at Parapet.

Summary
Sloane Mairi was forged in the fire of grief. Over the course of her short life, she's grieved for her parents, her province, and now her brother. The flames of her grief and anger could consume her, devour her, if she lets them, but without them, how would she go on?
Dain Aetos isn't sure who he is or what he's doing. Lately, he's begun to doubt everything he's ever known, himself most of all. Lately, he's been looking for answers to questions he's never thought to ask before.
Can these two broken souls find peace in the unlikeliest of places: each other?

Summary
“Don’t play dumb, Aetos,” she snaps, and I lift my eyebrows. I’ve been Dain to her for weeks now outside of bed, not Aetos or Wingleader. She must really be feeling out of sorts to resort to defensive patterns, to creating distance between us.
“Don’t snap at me, Sloane,” I request evenly. “Tell me what’s wrong, instead. Why don’t you want to touch me?”
She stands on the far side of the room, her hands clenched into fists, like she can somehow limit the damage they can do by keeping them closed.
“I didn’t say I didn’t want to!” she spits. “I said I shouldn’t.”

Summary
Lady Sloane Mairi never entered the Quadrant or bonded a dragon. Instead, she’s spent the last decade exasperating her aristocratic guardians, who expect her to do little besides mind her manners, smile pretty, and marry well. So when a politically-advantageous betrothal is finally secured, Sloane figures an arranged marriage will at least grant her some autonomy. After all, how hard is it to handle a husband?As it turns out, pretty damn hard, because the broad shoulders waiting at the end of the aisle belong to Colonel Dain Aetos, a jaded officer who gave everything to the war effort...and is decidedly Not Amused to find himself bringing home a tempestuous heiress.
Bound by law for the next four months, the couple merely has to endure their handfasting and they are free to part ways. But past wounds want healing, unexpected bonds demand forging, and blistering chemistry promises to set their plans aflame.
****
(Or, the arranged marriage, post-war, grumpy-gremlin AU in which Sloane is the feisty aristocrat who never went to Basgiath and Dain is the decorated war hero who is barely holding it together)
