    Summary

    Hinako knows the shape of silence better than she knows her own reflection.
    She knows the weight of footsteps, the way rage can fall like weather, the way survival means bowing until your spine forgets how to be straight.
    She knows that even love, when it comes, arrives strangled and conditional.

    But something new has entered the classroom. A voice, a presence, a pull in the air.
    And Hinako, hollowed out by years of being wanted in all the wrong ways, feels herself caught by it.

    What cannot be locked away always finds a door.

    Summary

    The wedding night goes well.

    By the time they make it to the bedchambers, her mind is buzzing with a pleasant, warm drowsiness. Her body feels incorporeal, as though her flesh has evaporated into a light, misty fog. She is not treading these earthly grounds, she is dissipating into thin air, she is anywhere but here.

    A hand lands upon her shoulder, stitching her back together, grounding her. She blinks blearily at its owner.

    “You must not fall asleep, Hinako,” Kotoyuki says. He sounds amused. “Not now. The night has yet to end.”

    or: the aftermath of the wedding.

    Summary

    “Eshna…” He husked as he flushed my naked body against his chest. “I’ll devour you whole down to your bones.” He grated against my lips before harshly nipping on it.

    And for some reason I began to believe him.

    Eshna, a common village woman with a forgotten past, is struck with tragedy as she witnesses Brigadier General Harold Lawrence slaughtering her husband and son in cold blood. Yet the man never stops at that as he takes her as his hostage while leading the siege of Kanpur in the aftermath of 1857 revolt.

    Summary

    Nanami had no idea what she was getting into by making Tomoe her familiar. Being told he'd do whatever she wanted made her think he'd merely cook and clean for her. But when she discovers that shinshi provide special services to their kami, she may find out that she's bitten off more than she can chew! A handsome fox like Tomoe, however, won't be so easy to resist. [AU based off the beginning of the series.]

    Summary

    Entangled in the loose ends of her last visit, Hitomi tries to navigate Gaea in a timeline where she wasn't called back and the war never ended. Without dowsing and visions, the darkness seems thicker than ever. But as she grasps blindly for the light and her forgotten dreams, maybe her hand will reach another. Like when she was falling.
