    Summary

    "The bundle is lighter than it looks, when he takes it in his hands. It’s wrapped in nothing but a bit of old tablecloth from the rag bin, which Bren folds carefully before setting aside, since it must not go to waste. Only then does he allow himself to pay attention to what he is holding.

    It is a book. It is a slender, leather-bound, perfect book."

    Five birthdays in the life of Bren Aldric Ermendrud.

    Summary

    The dam finally breaks.

    “I love you,” and she couldn’t hold the words back if she tried but she doesn’t even want to, “so much, Fjord.” His thumb stills but he doesn’t let go of her hand, eyes tracking across her face as if he’s looking for something.

    Jester has nothing left to hide.

    “And it’s okay if you don’t feel the same way. I’ll be okay. I just needed you to know.” Fjord nods imperceptibly, just to himself, and then he squeezes her hand, reaches up to cradle her jaw with his free one, and slowly ducks down towards her.

    Jester doesn’t realizes what he’s doing until his warm mouth is pressed against hers. She’s frozen for a moment, staring at his closed eyelids and holding her breath, but then his thumb brushes her cheek and his nose nudges hers, and this is real.

    Summary

    "Be with me when I lie down; you promised me this in an earlier life." –Mirabai

     

    (Beds are not inherently sexual. There is nothing torrid or amorous about a bed. This is what Caleb is telling himself, anyway, when he agrees to share his with Jester.)

    Summary

    Vex and Percy sit down together for a game of questions about sex, romance, and unspoken confessions, and a little about their lives before they met each other. Banter and naughtiness quickly ensue. Set during the timeskip, and only mildly spoilery.
