Summary
“If kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy, how hard do I have to slap a chicken to cook it?”
“At a speed of 1,665 yalms per second,” Y’shtola replied immediately.
“Well, how—completely hypothetically—might I accelerate my hand to a speed of 1,665 yalms per second?”
Y’shtola looked up, her pearly gaze piercing into X’eskat’s, before a mischievous grin slowly broke out onto her face. “I might have an idea."Or: The Warrior of Light slaps a chicken.

Summary
"If love doesn't come first and linger after, if love can't wait and endure disappointment and separation, then it's not love." (Robin Hobb, Golden Fool)
After that day at the Vault, I lived from one moment to the next, like a sleepwalker who refuses to wake from a dream. But living is not a life. I carried on, denying to acknowledge that I was bending beneath the weight of it all. I carried on, fleeing into vengeance and duty and distraction. I carried on, abandoning hope. I didn't believe in second chances. But he would prove me wrong. He would challenge all I thought I knew, because that was what he did best - prevail against impossible odds. And I would fight him, because let's face it - that was what I did best. Or so people said, back then.
This is a story of how sometimes, we do not realize how deeply we are loved until it is almost too late. - AkaneBookmarked by martola

Summary
The Warrior of Light, Eskat, has conquered her foes, united with her love Aymeric, and lives in quieter times. She should be happy, and at peace, but the years of war and battle are not so easily let go of. Followed by the past, she presses forward, as though the past will stop existing if she simply moves far enough. Aymeric finds himself unable to help, and seeks the help of Mikoto Jinba, to more directly confront her past... but the Warrior's mind is not so easily breached, having guards who are not at all pleased to find such unwelcome visitors.
