    Summary

    Gently, Nadia rests a hand on her shoulder. “Enid, darling.” She moves her other hand to place a finger beneath her chin, holding her head high. “I am teaching you what it means to truly dominate your husband.”

    Holding her gaze despite the hot flush of embarrassment rising up her neck and cheeks, Enid purses her lips. “So why is it my turn?”

    “As an object lesson.” Nadia looks down at Enid’s hands, lifting her brow. “So you might understand how he feels.”

    --

    Nadia has an arrangement with Enid and Julian, and arranges them both accordingly.

    Summary

    Before the worst of the Plague sank its claws into Vesuvia, there was a Masquerade, like many before. And from the very start, Vissenta and Julian were drawn to one another, the wine-dark dusk meeting the starry twilit sea.

    Part of the Death Cast Her Gaze continuity, but ended up way, way too long to be included as just a memory. So please enjoy this self-indulgent stand-alone little treat.

    Summary

    After their fateful reconnection and parting of the ways, Vissenta seeks out Julian, intent on proving his innocence with the help of their friends and family. As their memories start to return, more questions arise: who were they to one another before? Who truly murdered the Count? Is there a larger pattern, a larger plan, one they're meant to play a part in?

    And, most importantly: when are they going to get a moment's privacy?

    Summary

    Julian doesn’t notice her sudden drop in demeanor as he throws his arms wide. “Death cast her gaze upon this wretch and turned away.”
    Oh, hardly.
    Vissenta coughs to disguise the hysterical giggle bubbling up in her throat, but to Julian, it must only register as shock, or agreement, or perhaps both, and he leans forward again, his expression an exaggerated grimace.
    “Death,” he says on a whisper, “has no interest in an abomination like me.”
    “Oh, hardly,” Vissenta says, echoing the voice in her mind that now chuckles in approval. When Julian gapes at her, she seizes her opening to sweep all but the Death card back into her hands. “Death comes for us all.”

    Summary

    Somewhere in between the waxing and the waning wave
    Somewhere in between what the song and silence says
    Somewhere in between the ticking and the tocking clock
    Somewhere in a dream between sleep and waking up

    --"Somewhere In Between," Kate Bush

    ---

    As if in a dream, Vissenta Senadz finds herself swept up into the intrigue of the court of Vesuvia. Amidst the mysteries and machinations of the tale that unfolds around her, though, she finds one constant: Countess Nadia Satrinava.

    A rewrite of Nadia's route.

    Summary

    The last time Vissenta and Julian were in the castle of her childhood, they had more pressing matters at hand. This hasn't stopped them from both fantasizing about what could have happened, though.

    So when they return for a visit, under less dire circumstances, they waste no time in recreating what could have been.

    Summary

    When Portia asks Vissenta to be her best man in her wedding to Nadia, Vissenta immediately accepts. For one thing, Portia has been one of her best friends since college. For another, any party thrown by the Satrinavas is guaranteed to have the best food, the best booze, and the best chances at getting laid.

    What Vissenta didn't count on was Portia's brother Julian showing up looking like an entire snack.

    Summary

    Vissenta blinked. “What on earth?” She thumbed through the volume. It was horribly outdated, grossly sexist, and wholly without medical or even academic merit, in her humble opinion. As she flipped through the pages, she noticed a few well-worn dog-ears on pages with rather interesting anatomical illustrations. As she read further and examined the diagrams, she burst into laughter. She stopped short at one very detailed drawing and, with the slow grin of an idea taking hold, snapped the book shut.

    Summary

    “By your standards,” Vissenta said with a satisfied sigh as Julian continued to rub at her scalp with his long, skilled fingers. “But that was most certainly a date. Date night with you tends toward personal endangerment and at least one illegal activity.”

    Julian promised Vissenta adventure, and oh, the adventures they'll have. Assorted smutty standalones featuring my MC.
