    Summary

    After the chaos of the tourney, Prince Daeron Targaryen faces the aftermath of bloodshed and injury. Searching for Egg, he finds Ser Duncan gravely wounded by the elm tree — and is forced to confront his own guilt.

    "His heart ached seeing the knight like this. Daeron did not know much of honour, didn't possess much of it himself, but he recognised it when he saw it. Ser Duncan had done what all knights should, he had defended the innocent. He had started an avalanche of blood with it, but he had stayed true to his oath."

    Summary

    “So you thought something out of my control had happened to me?”

    “Well, it could have been in your control.”

    Kaveh’s cheeks redden impossibly further. “Right, so the sleeping for two days straight was the byproduct of my own poor decisions. You’ve always been such a true believer in me, Alhaitham.”

    “How long you slept is at best a red herring.”

    Or,

    “You’re alive.” There’s something hard to discern in Alhaitham’s eyes when he says it, like he’s trying to convince himself more than Kaveh. “You won’t die here, not like this, and not with me.”

    Kaveh finds himself cursed by the withering in a way that only Alhaitham can resolve, Alhaitham finds himself still in love as he desperately tries not to lose best friend again.

    Summary

    When his dark circles turned a gruesome, necrotic violet, and the whites of his eyes were split open by yawning vermilion cracks, Kaveh decided that it could not be exhaustion because Kaveh knew exhaustion and it could not be an infection because Kaveh did not have time for an infection. Somehow, without noticing, he had died.

    Kaveh dies and wanders into paradise.

    Summary

    When Viktor finally asks why Jayce stayed behind inside the Anomaly with him, Jayce stares at him as though he’s supremely disappointed by the question— as if Viktor has betrayed his own brilliance by asking something so irredeemably stupid. “How could I not? We’re partners.”

    Partners, Jayce calls them. Not for the first time, Viktor wonders: Partners in what?

    *

    Or: Jayce and Viktor survive the Hexcore, a blizzard, their own bodies, sharing a bed and all the things they’re too afraid to say. Slowly, they put themselves back together— piece by stubborn piece.

    Summary

    In which Viktor is convinced to stay, at least long enough to procure a pair of trousers, and Jayce attempts to avert the apocalypse with the power of love and flowcharts.

    But the anomaly still spins beneath the Hexgates, the arcane still bleeds into the waterways, foreign armies still come calling, and sister cities and sisters still need healing.

    Summary

    Bearing things was part of being from the fissures. Many things had to be taken as immutable, even if they weren't — to think too hard otherwise was a road to madness.

    Jayce of House Talis mattered. The problem, Viktor realized quickly, was that Jayce Talis could bear absolutely nothing with grace at all.

     

    One night turned into a partnership turned into something more. Jayce adjusted, and Viktor adjusted too.

    Summary

    Ratio turned to him with a hand placed on the doorframe. Now, he was the one choosing between protection and truth. Thankfully, there was a third option: marriage of the two. “I’ll miss your company when we have to move to another planet.”

    He left out the part where he had started to buy lemon scented candles for Aventurine’s bedroom, which he otherwise hated. He left out the part where he made sure his bookshelf would arrive when Aventurine was home so the two could spend time together, even if it was something as mundane as the organization of literature. He left out the part where he ensured there were always apples in his kitchen now, as that seemed to be the only thing Aventurine ate for breakfast. He left out the part where he nearly crashed into an old Edo Star native in his rush to collect Aventurine from the bar. He left out the dreams, the thoughts, and everything else that mattered.

    Maybe that was a bad choice. But it felt like the right one - the two are often opposites.

    //

    In which Aventurine and Dr. Ratio's schedules frequently align in a way that is constantly putting them both on the same planet, for better or for worse. And Ratio is NOT hopelessly in love.

    Summary

    Instead of acting as accomplice in the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae, the craftsman of the High Cloud Quintet proved his loyalty to the Xianzhou with his life, ending the planned destruction before it ever began. When the general of the Luofu dived into Scalegorge Waterscape himself, he found only the half-mad Vidyadhara, and a hair stick, with a strand of soft white locks still strangled around the polished branch.

    The Ten-Lords commission ordered death as a penalty for manslaughter. Dan Feng pleads guilty. The preceptors argued for 500 years in the Shackling Prison.
    Jing Yuan made it 200, with three more centuries of service at the Alchemy commission.
    Then some more years slip away. The streets know him as a criminal driven mad by betrayal. The Vidyadhara know him as a High Elder plagued by past mistakes.
    Yet even maple trees, painted crimson by the autumn, may live to see another spring.

    Summary

    “What does Elio say?” he asks her without taking his eyes off the unconscious Yinyue-jun.

    A puff of air from Kafka, a half-laugh. Ren knows her expression without seeing it: that little smile she gets when he’s done something to amuse her. “He asked if you see it yet.”

    This rattles Ren enough to finally look up. “...See what?”

    Her brow arches, delicate. The curl of her lip is savage. “The ending you wanted.”

    --

    In which Dan Heng finds himself remembering what it means to be a High Elder, even a banished one, and realizes he cannot bear the price of Dan Feng's crime alone.

    A Sedition & 1.2+ story retelling / reimagining.

    Summary

    Al-Haitham confesses to Kaveh with all the passion of someone reporting a traffic jam.

    “Kaveh, I like you,” Al-Haitham says, deep voice cutting into the silence, like the fact of it disappoints him. Like it’s an immutable but deeply distressing truth. Like the idea of liking Kaveh depresses him, or worse, bores him.

    “Well, I don’t like you,” Kaveh replies waspishly. And then, desperately: “Why would you say that to me?”
    -
    Al-Haitham confesses. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

    Summary

    "So, what great building did our master architect work on this time?"

    Nothing. Four days ago, Kaveh thought he would never work on anything again.

    "Where were you when Sumeru needed you most?"

    Dying.

    Summary

    In response, the architect flusters. “That, he…” There’s a stretch of hesitation before he relents. “I suspect a personality swap, doctor. The blow to his head must’ve rewired his neurological pathways. Otherwise, that whole issue with the Divine knowledge capsule might’ve driven him mad. He said he loves me.”

    “Last I checked, the Acting Grand Sage displayed no signs of aggression aligned with traumatic brain injury, and…sorry, what?”

    Zakariya, esteemed doctor of Bimarstan, and his observations regarding an amnesiac and his alleged husband.
