Summary
“Yes...” He murmured, his amber eyes roaming approvingly over the sight before him. “Yes, that will do.” Her eyes darted about his face questioningly, and his mouth curved into a smile that did not reach his eyes. “On reflection, I believe your name to be rather fitting…What will you reveal yourself to be, I wonder? The faintest sliver of heaven itself…or perhaps you are merely a faded little ghost…”
Emet Selch asked one last favour of the Warrior of Light before his aether faded from the world. However, she soon discovers that unearthing the long buried traces of Garlemald’s elusive Empress is an uphill battle that begins to take its toll on her already crowded heart and mind.
In her quest to learn who the Empress truly was, the Warrior of Light will need to remember who she truly is, or risk losing herself entirely.

Summary
Gaius van Baelsar, the Empire’s youngest Legatus, stands poised on the border of Ala Mhigo, a kingdom fractured by rebellion and ruled by the tyrannical Mad King Theodoric. Tasked with subjugating the kingdom in the name of Emperor Solus, Gaius begins his campaign by manipulating the rebellion against Theodoric, a strategy as cunning as it is ruthless.
But as Gaius witnesses the depths of the king’s madness and forges unexpected bonds with the resistance leaders, cracks form in his ironclad resolve. For every choice he makes—whether to uphold his duty to the Empire or his growing sense of justice—the cost looms larger.
Amid a backdrop of political intrigue, desperate alliances, and devastating war, Gaius must walk a knife’s edge between his ambition and his conscience. What price will he pay to bring order to chaos—and at what cost to his soul?

Summary
Hades, Last and Final Emet-Selch, Guardian of the Aetherial Sea, Unsundered Paragon of Long-Lost Amaurot, has long since given up on Hope, sustaining himself entirely off of Duty, the burning desire and unshakeable determination to return his world and his people to their rightful place. The Sun had long since set, never to rise again until the Star is reforged, leaving him wandering in an endless night. Then, like the glimmer of a candle, a light appeared on the horizon.
Aeliana rem Quirinius just wants to serve her country as a Reaper of the XIVth Legion, to protect her people and ensure that the primal threat is eradicated before the whole of the world in consumed by their insatiable hunger for aether. If that means helping run interference for her Legate during a fancy ball hosted by the Emperor, well, needs must. What she never would have imagined for an instant was that the Emperor would take notice of, and an interest in, her.
EDIT NOTE: NOT an Emet-Selch/Azem story! I didn't realize how much like a ship-fic this sounded, but its not!
