Summary
“Well, that could’ve gone better.”

Summary
“Okay,” Sam says, leaning back to sit on her knees and clap her hands on her thighs. “I know it’s late, but I’m calling an Honesty Hour. That alright with you?”
“Can’t think of a better time to do it,” Evan says with a shrug.
“Is there any part of you that is disappointed I didn’t seek out Seegenpelater after the Qohlye denied me, even if their magic was better suited for me?”
Or: Sam has a nightmare, and has a long-overdue chat with Evan about it.

Summary
"Was any of it real to you, or was it all just a ploy to get a little extra gossip to write about?”
And Penelope couldn’t help it, she laughed. It was a weak, sad little thing — one that could almost be mistaken for a sob if you weren’t paying attention. But Colin was paying attention.
“What about this could possibly be funny to you?”
“I am only laughing at your audacity,” she said, continuing on even as Colin reeled back with offense at her accusation. “To question my feelings for you is laughable, indeed. Especially when I cannot remember a time in my life when I wasn’t in love with you.”

Summary
They are on the road when the rumours first reach them. Dol-Makjar is in chaos, in uprising, and this newborn revolution already has its first martyr. They say that when it became known what the Halovar had been trading away to the hells that the people surged in protest to their gates, and the Halovar lost control of their demons. They say that Captain Nayar broke ranks with the Sundered Houses in defense of the crowd, and many of his guard followed. They say that he rallied them with a display of sorcery so fierce it could only be old-blooded, that as he fell you could see in the smoke and sparks the form of a dragon roaring in anguish. The bold, excitable and perhaps foolish talk of lost great Houses, speak the name of Obridai with breathless eager voices. Risen from the ashes in Dol-Makjar’s, and perhaps Araman’s, darkest hours.
Julien and the others have barely had time to steady themselves after this new loss when two pigeons arrive, speaking with Murray and Hal's voices.
“We’re sending the stupid brave fucking idiot to you. Hide him ‘til he’s recovered. Tie him down if you have to.”
“Please take care of Azune, don’t let him hear it all at once. Poetic licence may have gotten the better of me.”

Summary
Julien and Occtis take the opportunity to talk during their last night in Dol-Makjar, knowing that the next day they will head northward towards Timmony, and eventually the Golden Orchard.
“Hey, this is for you. Though you probably don’t need it.”
A bottle of wine was pressed into his hands and Occtis sat down in front of him, almost prim even when he was seated on the ground.
“It’s from Hal’s cellar, so it’s gotten a little warm, I hope that’s fine,” Occtis said. “I can’t drink it, so…”
“I don’t mind warm wine,” Julien said, popping off the cork and taking a swig. Not Davinos wine, but tolerable. “And tonight is a good night not to think.”
“We won’t have Thaisha with us to get rid of your hangover in the morning,” Occtis warned.
“She wouldn’t have done it anyway, so the situation has not changed,” Julien said. He studied Occtis a moment. He still looked a little banged up, but better than before. “Someone finally got around to tending your injuries?”
“Uh, yeah. Kattigan,” Occtis said.
“I’ll have to remember to thank him,” Julien said, taking another gulp of wine.

Summary
House Davinos is in debt. House Halovar has wealth―as well as an increasingly desperate need to improve public opinion on their church’s traditional hostility toward faerie kind. Marrying into a faerie-blessed family, especially one which needs to quietly solve their financial troubles, is simply good business.
Julien, after spending several years being a disappointment to his father, is finally asked to step up and secure this alliance―he will be marrying the eldest Halovar son, Wicander.
Occtis, a pariah of his own family and Wicander’s closest friend, is dedicated to his studies and has all but withdrawn from high society―he has no particular interest in marriage, or any attention at all.
Neither Occtis nor Julien expect their chance meeting at a ball, nor the instant, magnetic connection that they share.
Also known as the regency AU I simply needed to get out of my brain ☕

Summary
Julien runs off to chase Koral and break his sister's curse, leaving Azune & the Magpies to help Thimble escort the refugees of the Golden Orchard to Timmon's Rock. Despite promising to protect Alba on the journey, Azune can't bring himself to interact with her, too afraid of seeing another precious sister fade away.
Alba Davinos, however, has her own idea of how this story goes.

Summary
That Azune has taken him in with a degree of politeness and accommodation that is almost deferential makes it fucking worse, actually. You can’t complain that loud at someone who gave you the only bed and heads out no matter the hour to fetch any cheese or pastry or wine you ask for.
Fuck. There’s just nothing to do in here.
(Prompt summary: Azune asks Julien for sex tips/stories for the purpose of being a better honeypot. Julien is extremely upset when he finds out. Full: criticalkink.dreamwidth.org/6355.html?thread=2261971#cmt2261971)
