Summary
“Kip,” I said, and my voice came out tight. “Did a piece of glass hit you? Here, let me—” and I reached around to check the wound. If the glass had nicked him that was one thing, but if it had—had punctured—
But it wasn’t a piece of glass at all. It took me a moment, my fingers meeting Kip’s, trembling and wet with blood, over the objected embedded in his side, to realize what it was.
It was a dart.

Summary
The middle of All Systems Red, but with a few changes to how those pesky combat override modules work, among other things :)
Now with bonus chapters!
-
The humans were going to want to know what a combat override module was, what it did, how it worked, and most importantly, why it hadn't worked on me. I could answer the first three things just fine, but short of telling my already-jittery clients I was hacked ("so I'm actually one of those scary rogue units you've heard so much about, but the good news is that a combat override module can't hijack a governor module that doesn't work!"), that last thing was going to be a big problem.
Honestly, even if I did tell them exactly that, which I really didn't want to do, it was going to be a really big fucking problem.- Language:

Summary
When the steward rises at Kip’s gesture and says, voice quavering, “Be welcome, your excellency; I will tell the Princess that you and your…” and cuts a glance to me in a questioning manner, I don’t hesitate to leap in.
“Oh,” I say airily, “I’m his secretary.”

Summary
Jullanar didn’t realize anything was wrong until the newspaper boy yelped in panic, until she was turning back to see the paper Fitzroy was holding on fire, a conflagration held in one hand, his eyes liquid gold with magic and his voice perfectly empty when he said, “No. That can’t be right. There’s been a mistake.”
-
In which an adventure in progress is thoroughly derailed by news of the presumed death of the Viceroy of Zunidh.

Summary
At least there wasn’t an audience for the look Ludvic turned on Kip and the too neutral way he said, “Tor?”
Kip could feel himself flushing - in Astandalas this was the kind of thing that had lost him jobs before - but he had the excuse of, first of all, amnesia, and second of all, “He didn’t give me any other name!” Kip hissed. “He deflected me off the topic twice!”

Summary
The spear butt struck the side of his face, knocking him to the smooth marble floor. He was tired enough to lie there, gasping, until one of the guards hooked their hand into the loop of his arms where they were bound behind him, and hauled him back to his knees.
“We will try that again,” said his interrogator. The man was wearing the full panoply of the Imperial guard and an incongruously friendly smile. “What is your name, barbarian?”

Summary
Jemis, unbeknownst to all but his closest confidants, is not as accustomed to mundane physical maladies as the past several years have made him appear. Unfortunately, he remains unaware of the potential consequences of treating the mundane as magical until he's already made things dinstinctly unpleasant for himself.
If helping him recover requires a certain amount of sitting on him, as it rather seems it will, then his friends and loved ones are fully prepared to do so.

Summary
His feet were moving again, though he did not recall deciding to go anywhere. He crossed the room, past his desk, past the plinth with the asymmetrical vase, past the tapestry map and the golden nightingale in its cage. Past the terrace, where he had been pleased to break his fast with his Radiancy—only this morning? It felt a thousand years away.
He was standing before the ivory door to the inner apartments, which he had passed through only a handful of times before. His hand raised of its own accord, and the door fell open beneath it.
He became aware, with a creeping dread like tendrils up his throat, that something was terribly wrong.

The headache was getting worse. He’d been aware of it, on and off, for a couple of days. It was strange; Cliopher would have thought, with the princes and their entourages safely on their way, that the strain would be lifting.
(All fics in this series build out from events in Embers - and therefore spoil it - but I've tried to keep them viable as stand-alones too.)
