Summary
France. October, 1792. The mortals have abolished their monarchy and arrested their king. But the situation among the fledgling Republic's mages is very, very different.
Mirk remains at the head of the d'Avignons, but its present fortunes are just as low as when he took up his grandfather's staff a century ago. With the mortals in chaos, the magical nobility of France has tightened its grasp on power rather than fleeing. But many mages -- those with the least to lose -- are calling for the opening of the guilds. Which leaves Mirk with a decision to make: either help his fellow nobles, or entrust his family's fate to those who stand against them.
Genesis has no doubts. Assisting the low-born French mages is a prime opportunity for the K'maneda to return to its revolutionary roots. Committing the Seventh Infantry to the revolution could lead the K'maneda in the direction the division's fighters have been struggling toward for a century. Or it could spell disaster, if the revolution fails.
Their responsibilities and beliefs could put them on opposite sides of the fight. Can their devotion to each other help them find a way to bring their causes together? Or will their duty split them apart?

Summary
The K'maneda's First Infantry: the most powerful division within the realm's most terrifying mercenary group. It's practically an army in and of itself, comprised of over two thousand fighters and mages who've been tested on the battlefields of dozens of realms. Capable of fighting in the worst conditions and on the most challenging terrain, the First has a reputation for getting the job done when no one else can.
...they also have a reputation for being a bunch of horny, drunken idiots.
This is a collection of stories about the First's denizens and those who, for better or worse, have become attached to them. (Love's a strong word; you've got to be careful with that kind of thing.) Most are humorous, chaotic, and, ultimately, a bit sentimental. Reading the series of works that this collection of one-shots is associated with isn't strictly necessary, but you'll probably have more fun if you do. Because, let's be honest, if anything's going down in the First, Niv is getting himself involved. Which, much to Yule's chagrin, means he's getting dragged into things along with him.

Summary
Mirk has lost everything: his noble family, his home, and nearly his life. All he has left is his grandfather’s staff and the K’maneda, the strange band of foreign mercenaries who saved him. He decides to build a new life among them in their wandering City of Glass, dedicating himself to healing the outcast and forgotten men who did everything to protect him. Providence makes no mistakes. And to live is to serve.
Genesis is an expert at three things: binding magic, assassination, and cleaning potions. Everything else is a mystery to him, especially people. Which is a crucial shortcoming, considering his ambition is to launch an insurrection against the corrupt mages who have warped the K’maneda into a machine designed to grind up the poor for the benefit of the wealthy. He will never be free. All he can do is use his chaotic magic to liberate those who can be.
They’re an unexpected team: the unrelenting and inhumanly powerful Destroyer and the kindly healer with the right lineage and a knack for putting the right people in the right places. But will it be enough to ensure the revolution prevails? And is there more to their relationship beyond a mutually beneficial alliance?

Summary
Mushroom picking season is one of K'aekniv's most cherished times of year. It has everything he loves: free food, fresh air, going home, and finally getting a break from there always being someone right around the corner who wants to knock him over the head and steal his wallet. How could choosing to add in his other great love -- Yule -- go wrong? Sure, there's been some talk of people going missing in the forest. But that forest has always been weird. It's why the mortals never go there. And why going there always means getting the best mushroom harvest around. It's no big deal for mages. No problem.
Yule has no desire to spend two nights in a hammock freezing his ass off just so that K'aekniv can pick mushrooms. But when he sees how excited K'aekniv is to head back east, he's unable to say no. K'aekniv did promise him a vacation after all. Yule just didn't anticipate it involving slogging through the woods all day. But maybe the fresh air and no patients to harass him will do him some good. As long as there's not any spirits out in the woods too big for K'aekniv to handle.
And as long as K'aekniv's sappiness doesn't finally drive him to making a decision he swore he never would again.

Summary
Currently on hiatus 12/9/22
A historical urban fantasy romance. Rated Mature due to: alcohol, depictions of murder and corpses.
Silvio Campana, failed vampire hunter, travels to the seaside city of Boccacarpa, chasing the ghost of his recently-murdered father. There, he makes fast friends with Felicien Patenaude, hotel owner and mysterious bachelor. Unbeknownst to him, Felicien is a vampire, and will stop at nothing to further his own goals. How long will their goals align? Will Silvio survive long enough to get his revenge?
"Not long after sundown, the screaming started, just as predicted.
We rushed towards the noise, sharpened wooden stakes in our hands. My father carried the lantern, and it swung wildly as he ran. Our footfalls pounded against the damp earth, and I nearly slipped in the mud.
I managed to catch myself against a branch at the last moment, but my father didn't stop. I caught a glimpse of his face in the dim light. He was wild-eyed, more animal than man, white hair and teeth made orange by the lantern.
Panting, I followed as best I could as the light grew smaller and more distant before me. After a few dozen paces, it stopped.
I saw it then.
The thing in the woods."Bookmarked by fachefaucheux
