Summary
Three and a half years have passed since Empress Chenelo's death. Not even the imperial family gives much thought to her son, who is in the care of Setheris Nelar, in the distant Western Marshes and far from the court.
But vexing news come from Edonomee: Nelar is dead and Maia is without a guardian.
The emperor will have to decide on a new arrangement. For the sake of expediency, Nemolis volunteers to go to Edonomee and bring his half-brother to the Untheileneise Court. After all, the sooner a new guardian is found, the better.

Summary
“Hello, husband. Why are you naked?”
Damen draws in a ragged breath seemingly more from emotion than physiological need, and Laurent notices the exact moment that his eyes focus on Laurent and he is able to take in the world before him.
“Laurent,” he says, a little raspy, eyes still wide, “how did you do that three—four times? I have never felt so—The lack of control. It felt like drowning. How were you sure you didn’t drown?” He stumbles to the edge of the spring as he speaks, driven by a clear impetus: dropping to his knees next to Laurent and pulling him in for a reassuring hug. Laurent pushes him away before he can make contact, standing and lifting the towel from the pile he has made.
“You’re all wet, and I’d prefer not to be. Dry yourself and get dressed, and then you may lay your hands on me.”
---
After the events of even in another time, Laurent and Damen take the opportunity to go on a trip—a honeymoon of sorts—to the modern world. Brothers are met, books are launched, and another first is experienced.

Summary
It felt like the hardest thing he’d ever done, stepping towards Damen, helping him from his seat. He had to keep his touch clinical and brief: this demanded the vast majority of his concentration.

Summary
Laurent drained the second goblet, and when he held it out to Nikandros a second time Nikandros took it, and set it back on the small table. Nikandros placed his hands on Laurent’s shoulders instead. “We will see him revenged,” he said solemnly. “Then we will see him remembered. He will never be forgotten.”

Summary
“Don’t read it,” Damen says, urgently, and he tries to pull Laurent back.
In Akielon and, oddly, Veretian, the wall of the cave says: What does your heart desire?
Laurent already has everything that his heart desires. Everything except- Auguste.

Summary
Damen’s grip on his arm is painful. His face in Laurent’s is ashy and sheened with sweat.
He says, “There was something in my drink.”
(Damen is poisoned, Jokaste is framed, Laurent must find them an heir. He's put it off for so long already.)

Summary
Damen did not resent that Laurent needed his time. Damen, of course, would take a knife to the gut before he left Laurent alone after any sort of bedplay where he was giving the orders, but that was Laurent. Damen had done this sort of thing before, and was accustomed to it, and did not need coddling, in any case, until or unless Laurent wanted to give it. So Damen was going to stay still, and count, and not be foolish.

Summary
"I knew I was a man who had narrowly avoided disaster. I did not have all the answers yet as to what would happen now, but I would find them. I would do whatever needed to be done, so long as it ensured that he would not vanish from my life. Selfishly, I did not care what effects we might have on the world. What mattered was the effect he had on me. And while I was not entirely ready to confront that, there would be time enough for all of it. I had snatched that time back from the brink of loss, and I would cling to it as tightly as we clung to each other before the weak fire in that dark room."

Summary
My fever had surely spiked with the labor of conversation but I thirsted for more. We had missed so much in the year we were apart. Nighteyes was right. I needed sleep but I fought against it with the idiotic stubbornness of a boy I no longer recognized. “Fool?” I croaked. Something in my voice made him immediately set down his work and in one fluid motion, turn to face me fully.

Fitz is recovering in Jhaampe and his fevered delirium has lowered his walls just enough to allow for a few moments of vulnerability with the Fool.

Summary
ART, you’re not supposed to connect to me on the feed, you dumbass!
ART sounded dismissive and not, you know, concerned about alien remnant contamination at all or anything when it said, I hooked you up to the isolation box while you were out. You do know what an isolation box does, don’t you?
That data felt slippery and I wasn’t sure I had it in my short-term storage. I said, Fuck off, obviously I know what an isolation box does.

Summary
For personal reasons, the rock that had become ugly meat (that had– for just a brief moment– become a beautiful, beloved child) was now six dogs. This decision, while admittedly made under duress, had nonetheless paid out in dividends. As she lay in sun beams, as she rolled around with herself across the soft ground, she liked to count the reasons why this had turned out to be a terrific idea.
