    Summary

    "...the royal magic was once considered Euchronia's greatest deterrence to invasion, particularly during transfers of power. No less, the state army's numbers are thinner than they've ever been, leadership is in shambles, and the most advanced warship in possession of the crown was not only stolen, but then reduced to a pile of rubble in the desert."

    He could feel everyone's burning gazes on him. This needed to conclude quickly, lest he make things worse, but he had no real solution in sight.

    ...

    Damn it all, if only he could operate the teleporter on Will's gauntlet runner himself, he could have some of these managed in a matter of days.

    At the behest of his king, Strohl finds himself more idle than he'd like in the weeks following the coronation. Armed with an unshakable desire to do more for him, and countless lingering doubts, he revisits an old fascination, one he hopes will aid in the goal of bringing lasting peace. Yet, as he delves into this new project and solidifies his place within Will's dream for the country, he finds those old wounds cut deeper than he realized.

    Summary

    No woman in Euchronia, he's convinced, could ever cause the tickle of warmth he feels in his chest at the rare times they touch skin, where the adrenaline of battle masks his thumping heart at the way their sweat joins slick in synthesis. No woman, not even a clemar, just a small blue haired elda boy who stumbled into his life by chance.

    How Leon Strohl learns the language of flowers.

    Summary

    Elda and clemar differ in all the obvious ways, and then the not so obvious ones.

    That, however, does not mean they cannot intersect—or Will thinks he rather likes Strohl barging into his life, at least.

    Summary

    Altabury Heights is a cold, icy city to be in, especially for those who are already susceptible to the frost. Any chance at heat is a chance worth taking, even if it means sleeping in three layers of clothes. Even if it means risking revealing just a little bit too much about onself.

    Summary

    Will’s eyes flick open. Strohl becomes slack-jawed and blissfully absent of thought, looking into them at point-blank range, but grinds his teeth back together. “I’m only kidding,” Will says, running a thumb over Strohl’s cheekbone, and then he laughs.

    Kandera would shock Strohl less than this electric current in his veins.

    Some journeys start in response to an injustice, a breach of faith, and a desire to rectify. A clemar who’s wandered for the past seven years, loosely held together by the pride on his back and staunch stubbornness stumbles upon the start of his own at long last.

    He wouldn’t know it, though. Not many journeys begin with meeting an elda. And nowhere did this clemar write that he expected to fall in love with said elda.

    or: four times will surprises leon strohl, and one time strohl surprises will back.
