Summary
“Tell me the truth,” Aegon says. “Why are you here?”
A lump forms in Helaena’s throat. “I already told you, I could not sleep. I wished to see y…I wanted to make sure you were all right.”
Aegon laughs, the sound as brittle as browning leaves. Her brother is cruel. He has not always been this way, she knows, but she struggles to remember a time before it.
Helaena purses her lips. She focuses on a spot on the ceiling and the scratching of tiny claws somewhere deep down below them. “And I thought — I hoped maybe you might hold me down.”
Or: Helaena and Aegon and the aftermath.

Summary
J.A.M.E.S. “Fitzjames” is the result of a cutting-edge Admiralty-funded project, developed by Dr Gambier in the Jersey Android Mechanics and Engineering Studio. The only successful attempt at artificial intelligence, he has served in the Earth Navy for several years. He was injured in the line of duty and is the first artificial intelligence to receive a medal for his service.
Now that the war is over, the Navy has assigned James to the research vessel Erebus, about to undertake the exploration of an uncharted star system that promises access to precious lithium together with its sister ship Terror. These are the most technologically advanced ships of their day.
Complete, updates every Sunday.

Summary
“How old are you, Astarion?”
Astarion is not expecting the question, Halsin can tell by the way he jerks upright, spine straight, shoulders strong.
“Two-hundred-and-forty,” he answers without hesitation. “Give or take a few years.”
Halsin swallows, rewords his question. “How old were you when you were turned?”
Astarion goes quiet. Extremely, cacophonously quiet.
“Thirty-nine,” he finally says, a bolt straight into Halsin’s heart.
-
Halsin discovers Astarion was turned before his maturity and all the sacred elven rites that come along with it. Including the sex one.

Summary
‘Christ, it’s good to see you,’ Harry says, bringing a hand up to Eggsy’s face, thumb on his jawline, fingers brushing along his pulse point, and Eggsy is shocked into letting him have it for a moment, pinned under Harry’s touch.
Then he wrenches himself away and runs a hand over his face, not surprised to feel it come away wet. He stares at the ground for a moment.
‘Eggsy –’
‘Oh no,’ he says, looking up, and his voice is hoarse but he doesn’t give a single shit. ‘No you fucking don’t, Harry. You’re not getting away with it that fucking easy, you got some explaining to do.’ He swallows hard. ‘Why the fuck didn’t you tell anyone you were still alive?’
--
In which it takes more than just an apology to rebuild trust after Harry comes back from the dead.
