    Summary

    ["Felix," Dimitri said, and forced the words out of his mouth. "Don't do this if—if I have ever implied you are obligated—"

    Felix yanked on the laces so hard that Dimitri had to gasp. "Shut up," he said. "When have I ever done anything out of obligation?" He leaned forward, still holding Dimitri fast, and rested his forehead on the knob at the top of Dimitri's spine. Bare skin on bare skin; without the chestguard or gorget, Dimitri had not realized how much the low collar of the tunic revealed. He was breathing hard, from anxiety or arousal or both. Felix said, his voice oddly without scorn, "You have never been an obligation."]

    Summary

    At once Louis misses it—misses being looked at at all, truly commanding Hythlodaeus’s attention again even for a moment—so much it hurts, the open wound of his yearning aching for relief even as a wave of nausea tightens his throat.

    Pathetic, he thinks, though in the moment he’s not sure which of the two of them it describes better.

    Six years after the attack on the prince, recently promoted Colonel Louis Guiabern is reluctantly invited back to the royal palace. He tries to make the most of an unexpected encounter.

    Summary

    It's not like they haven't discussed the fact that Spite is, essentially, a constant audience to everything they do, in public or private. After some gentle cajoling from Rook, he's generally behaved himself in the bedroom.

    But then… there have been a few times, more recently.

    Summary

    His ghost is dragging us around by our necks. Through the snow. Through the mud. Through this rancid heat. And yet we can never touch him or even have any true sign that he’s a man at all. Sometimes I think I am the only one that remembers the reality of him, others I believe myself to be the only one capable of understanding that he is just a specter, nothing but the culmination of what this wretched kingdom needs from him, all of its hopes and failed aspirations, embodied by a beast. Perhaps he’s alive – I have said myself I think he is – but what damned difference does it make in the end?
