Summary
General Dorrand is fifty-two years old and the best swordsman in Talis. He's severe, austere, devout, and the king's most trusted advisor.
Reylen of Lorand, son of the Duke of Lorand, is a spendthrift thirty-something with a taste for wine and casual sex. But he's also not exactly what he seems to be.
When Dorrand finds Reylen standing over a dead man with a dagger in his hand, the obvious explanation both is and isn't the right one.

Summary
Wilson said, “So we’re just two friends who want to have sex with each other, who aren’t going to do anything about it.”
Spoken with the incredulity of a beautiful person with low impulse control. House shrugged.
“We’ve been that for years. Why mess with success?”
Wilson was looking at his mouth. He sounded strained. “I don’t think what we’re doing qualifies as success.”

Spinning a Family from Twigs by Vi0let_Baudelaire for starkly
Fandoms: Last Binding Series - Freya Marske
17 Dec 2024
Tags
Summary
“Stubbornness runs in the family, I’m afraid.” Robin looked a bit sheepish. “The entire family, actually. Edwin could argue magical theory with the world’s leading experts, and none of the bureaucrats at the Home Office are a match for Addy.” He paused. “From what I’ve heard and observed, you’re no pushover, either.”
Violet remembered how Maud had called her family. Lady Enid had spoken in her letter about kindred spirits and how true family was more than just blood. She had never let herself be bound by the limitations and rules of society, and neither would Violet. Family could be what they made it.
Violet offered Robin one of her genuine smiles. “It sounds as though I’ll fit right in with the rest of your family, then.”
----
A reflection on the meanings of family, and the stories of five people who joined the Blyth extended family.

“That leaves the one option.”
Stephen, waiting for Jack at the end of his search for a solution, finally met Jack’s eyes. “The biological imperative.”
Despite his best efforts, Jack blushed. Clearing his throat, he asked, “Do you have a candidate in mind?”
“Jack,” Stephen started, voice uncharacteristically low and strained, “I beg you, do not make me the find the words to ask.”

Summary
It is raining rather heavily today, enough so that even his inhuman vision is somewhat obscured by the precipitation.
It’s not so obscured, however, that he’d miss the obvious figure squatting by the water’s edge. His first thought upon seeing them is that they’ll catch a cold — the legs they’re curled in on are pale and bare, and their owner has nothing to cover themselves aside from a top hat clearly designed for fashion and not practicality.
His second thought is, Oh, dear. I know that person.
—
an unplanned reconciliation, and an even more unplanned dip in the sea.

Summary
It was fine, though. Just fine. So what if she & Neuvillette hadn't talked since she'd moved out? Neuvillette had a whole nation to run now, his duties compounded without an Archon or the Oratrice, and his hands were probably full even without having a (fraud) ex-god to babysit. They'd said their goodbyes in the Palais after everything was done, and that had been that.
…or so she thought, until she came home one evening and found a very familiar envelope in her doorslot; penned in an elegant curling script, addressed from the mailbox of the Palais itself.
After Furina moves out of the Palais Mermonia, she and Neuvillette begin writing letters to each other.
(Spoilers for the 4.2 Archon Quest & Furina's story quest)

Summary
Furina has spent her whole life trying to be Focalors, and now has to re-learn what it means to be Furina.
“I did waver. I was weak. You have no idea, Neuvillette,” Furina said desperately, “How close I came to faltering.”
“But you didn’t. And that is strong,” Neuvillette said seriously.
Furina shook her head, clenching her fists on her lap. “If I were stronger- If I were the true Hydro Archon, then so many people wouldn’t have died. The serial disappearances cases... Poisson...”
“We cannot hold ourselves responsible for things beyond our power,” Neuvillette answered quietly, a shadow passing his face. “That is why in the law we do not punish omissions. And if there is blame to be passed, let it rest with me.”Series

Summary
“Lots of nerdy dudes with intimacy issues keep fish tanks.”
When Neuvillette learns how close Wriothesley came to being killed by the Primordial Sea, he finds his desire to care for the Melusines (diligently and from a safe emotional distance) has expanded to include the Duke of the Fortress of Meropide.
It’s not that odd. Neuvillette can do his best to help this particular human thrive, just like he’s done with the Melusines. It will help him better understand humans in general, which will help him better understand his purpose.
Surely he’s never going to have to think about it any more closely than that.

Summary
“You aren’t losing anything, Isobel,” he said. “We’re in your house. Emma is also in your house, as are your sisters. We’re all right here.”
“But how long?” Isobel said. “How long? Why are they letting me pretend that everything’s more or less the same, when everything’s changed?”
--
Isobel takes a breath after the end of the story, and braces for what it means when change comes to Whimsy. Luckily, she's not alone. Set after the end of Enchantment of Ravens, featuring spicy times with feelings and plot and a little world building.

Summary
The evening had been going great. Just Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng, together, having a good old buddies-with-benefits time. Jiang Cheng has tied Wei Wuxian’s wrists to the bedframe with silk so Wei Wuxian can’t accidentally fall off the bed during his customary wiggling, and they’re speaking with their bodies instead of words, just the way Wei Wuxian likes it.
Then Jiang Cheng opens his mouth to actually talk.

Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng have a long overdue, but somewhat ill-timed, conversation.

Summary
He last saw Ronan for Spring Break a week ago, and more than quenching the thirst it’d just made the longing worse. They’d spent most of the break dicking around in Lindenmere, creating tiny planets in bubbles for Opal to chase and fucking in shadowy clearings. Adam can almost taste Ronan and the magic both like honey lingering in his mouth.
Or, Adam’s sophomore year at Harvard: a study in longing.

Summary
As much as Tashi lives and breathes tennis, as much as it sometimes feels like the only thing there is, the average American doesn’t know her or her husband’s name, and even the most rabid tennis fans out there usually don’t care enough to dig far back into their personal histories, no matter how scandalous they may or may not be.
And yet, seven months after Art announces his retirement and nine after Tashi starts coaching Patrick, she gets a Google alert on her phone for Patrick Zweig that leads right to Deuxmoi’s Instagram story.
