    Summary

    "I don't write much flowery stuff." Nancy tells her quietly after Robin points out the way the chollas cast their shadows like claws. "I mean- newspaper journalism doesn't have much flexibility for that, you have to get the information in as a priority- but I think I could write about- about this.". Nancy smiles over at her. The stetson she's borrowed shadows her eyes but she still squints with the bright sun in their peripheral. Robin wants to reach out, to place her palm to Nancy's cheek to protect her from the glow.

     

    "Are you talking about the view?" She asks hoarsely, hand staying loyally at her own side.

     

    Nancy doesn't answer, but her eyes don't leave Robin's.

    Summary

    “Ah, Seulgi, my dear,” her father said, simpering, “I’ve just been telling the good captain all about you.”

     

    "My lady Seulgi,” Joohyun said in greeting. Her voice was soothing, low, with a seemingly ever-present undercurrent of command. “It’s good to finally make your acquaintance.”

    “Likewise,” Seulgi said, offering her hand to shake. Joohyun surprised her, grasping her hand with surprisingly calloused fingers and sweeping into a bow to press a soft dry kiss to the back of her knuckles.

    or,
    in which Seulgi is the daughter of a disgraced nobleman with no particular prospect of a bright future and Joohyun is the most decorated female officer in Her Majesty’s service, who whisks her away to her mansion in the highlands.

    Summary

    “If you listened when I spoke instead of fantasizing about your dragon-riding days, you would know that those eggs are for your son’s favorite cake,” Shadowheart says, stirring her soup far harder than she has to. “When he asks for it first thing after walking through the door, as he always does, I’ll be sure to tell him that his amya thought it far more important to sweep the grounds for Vlaakith’s nonexistent assassins. Again.”

    ------------------------------

    Shadowheart and Lae'zel have raised Xan, the gith egg, into a fine young man. Years post-canon, he's bringing home his first boyfriend for their approval. And that's something Lae'zel is hard-pressed to give.

    Summary

    Dahyun goes through a heartbreak, the effects of which manifest into something mildly concerning. Mina is her mildly concerned neighbor.

    -

    Dahyun glances back at Mina. “You’re pretty when you smile,” she says, her eyes widening when she realizes the stuff that just came out of her mouth, “Uhm, I’m not saying that you’re not pretty, okay? I mean, you’re a lot prettier than my last neighbor.” She winces. “Well, my last neighbor was a man so that’s pretty much a given.”
