Summary
The thief sat up sharply, trembling as a wave of dizziness washed over him. There was no blood, nor did he see the charred skin of a recent cauterization. The skin on the stump of his arm was unbroken and callused. He thought briefly of the leather straps that had held him to the chair in the dungeons. But neither the healing nor the calluses he’d seen could have developed overnight.
How long had it taken? Months? Surely not more than a year. Please, gods, tell me I didn’t lose a year of my life in Attolia’s dungeons.
And why couldn’t he remember anything after that gods-damned sword?Bookmarked by shimotsuki

Summary
Irene closes her eyes. Whatever happens at the wedding tomorrow, her life will never be the same again; and although she suspects it can’t get worse, she would not put money on it.
If only she could wake up to find everything behind her.*
The night before her wedding, the shadow princess makes a wish. The next morning, she finds herself thirteen years later: in a body that has shot up, at a court she barely recognises, with a king she has not murdered.
A 13-going-on-30-inspired AU, told through a series of double drabbles.Bookmarked by shimotsuki

In the darkest hour of night, a computer screen’s light by pomelo_pomegranate

Summary
Galen thinks a good first step towards breaking Eugenides out of his self-imposed post-behanding isolation is to get him active on internet chatrooms under an anonymous handle. Irene thinks she might go mad if she keeps turning her dwindling choices and her past mistakes over and over in her head all alone, and maybe it’s time to use that anonymous internet chatroom handle she made for the sake of lurking online and gauging the Attolian populace’s problems for a new purpose: seeking random internet advice.
It doesn’t take long for Gen and Irene to start a private message conversation, neither suspecting who the other is … nor for them to become each other’s main source of support when nightmares leave them awake in the dead of night.
