Summary
After a misunderstanding derailed the prospect of negotiations between Vere and Akielos, the princes of the two countries began scheming to find a way to return their parents to the table. When their parents became suspicious of any contact the princes had with each other, Laurent decided the best strategy for communication was for him and Damen to pretend to be courting. Damen worries about convincing outsiders their relationship is real. He should be worrying instead about convincing himself it isn’t.

Summary
Laurent lives a life of quiet routine, until the day a few ill-chosen words, his uncle's malice, and his own inability to back down from a challenge see him wagering half his fortune on an impossible journey to the ends of the earth and back. Happily, or perhaps unhappily, his newly-hired valet is making the journey with him and has plenty of opinions about where they should go, what they should do, and de Vere himself.

I wanted to see the world (then I flew over the ocean) by kelaodiyaa

Summary
The first time Akemi sees Mizu—glimpsed between panes of lacquered palanquin wood, as her gaze turned inevitably to the only person not kneeling, to that man, awkward and gangly and stiff, standing when everyone else bowed, with those eyes nearly hidden by an unflattering broad hat and ridiculous orange spectacles—the first time she sees her, she hates her.
Their eyes meet. There's snow falling outside, dusting the offensively broad hat's rim. They pass. Akemi's heart skips in tiny outrage.
×
The first time Mizu sees Akemi, it's on that bridge in Kyoto, prim and pretty and painted as a portrait, and she thinks that the fine, decorative gold things in her hair look difficult to make. The kind of difficult to make that tells of someone else's hard work and a thousand, thousand kitchen knives.
The princess is beautiful, she thinks.
或 / or:
Mizu steps (staggers) in when Akemi's father sends men to bring her back, in the aftermath of the brothel bloodbath. It's only the newest in a line of questionable choices, because it seems that as of late, for whatever reason, she can't stop accidentally collecting people.

Summary
“You’re not a bender,” Taigen scoffs. “That campfire didn’t flicker the whole time we were fighting, and the ground hasn’t moved once. Don’t even try to convince me you bend air, either, you don’t jump high enough.”
“Maybe I don’t think you’re worth the effort,” you bite out, shoving him off you. Bad leverage, but you budge his weight; you don’t have to headbutt him and use the surprise to your advantage. He’s intrigued. “Come on, aren’t you curious? I thought all firebenders liked to throw sparks.”
“An honorable samurai doesn’t use bending in a duel.”
“You said yourself you can’t duel me until I’m healed,” you say. “This won’t be a duel. This will be… a demonstration.”
*
Or: Officially speaking, waterbending is an element exclusive to foreign barbarians, and there are no waterbenders in Japan.
This is only mostly true.
