Summary
Sufficed to say, I was more than a little disappointed that Jacqueline Carey didn’t give Melisande the chance to make good on her promise to imprison Phèdre in Kushiel’s Chosen and bend her to her will. So I’m making do with my own musings on how this could have gone.
I am starting off in the middle of chapter 45, right before Joscelin attempts to spring Phèdre out of the secret prison at La Dolorosa. In this alternative universe, Joscelin and Ti-Phillipe delay this plan by one day, allowing time for Phèdre to be escorted to The Little Court first.
This is a work in progress, and while I do have an outline for the whole plot, I am nowhere near finished yet. Phèdre and Melisande are phenomenally written characters and Kushiel’s Legacy is an all-time favorite of mine, so I am a tad intimidated at the prospect of representing them faithfully, but I hope I do them a modicum of justice.

Summary
I never thought to have a child of my own.
For all my years of study, I knew precious little of childrearing. I’d learned etiquette and decorum in Cereus House; I’d learned dissemination and deception in my Lord Delaunay’s. Joscelin had lived the life typical of a second son in an old-fashioned family, forever knowing where he was bound at the age of ten; he had never expected to face a challenge of this sort.
But we loved Imriel dearly, and surely that would be enough?

Summary
In an alternate universe where Mélisande has returned to Terre d'Ange under an amnesty decreed by Ysandre, who wagered that forcing her to live with Phèdre and Imriel would prevent her from resuming her ambitious games of power, Kushiel's descendant once again seizes the Winter Solstice celebration to extract a secret from Phèdre.

Summary
“If someone had told me at twenty that at fifty, I would be living the life of a Siovalese country squire, I would have laughed in their face. I was Cassiel’s, and Cassiel’s alone; at least, that is what I believed then. At the outrageous thought I would be foster father to a Prince of the Blood, let alone to have sired my own daughter, I would have wept with laughter. And at the notion I would be consort to a notorious Servant of Naamah for over thirty years, I would have drawn my daggers. Probably.”
Happy Longest Night everyone! A fitting occasion to publish the first chapter of a longer fic.
After Imriel, Joscelin and Phèdre have gotten their own daughter, Hélène. This is her story, told from her perspective, and from that of her doting father. Because she would not be their daughter if she would not get into all sorts of trouble. And Joscelin’s voice deserves to be heard!
From one Longest Night to the next - here we are. I wish you all joie!

Summary
Mélisande has returned to Terre d'Ange under an amnesty decreed by Ysandre: her new and far more effective prison is the maison where she lives with Phèdre and Imriel… along with the inevitable epic moments this entails, such as the one in this episode, where Phèdre boasts of her self-control in Mélisande's presence.

Summary
This story is part of a collection of short tales with a semi-serious tone, inspired by the Kushiel saga and drawn from a thought of Phèdre’s near the end of Kushiel’s Avatar, when she comes to define Imriel as the child of herself and Mélisande. The brilliant absurdity of that detail sparked wild fantasies in me about their family tableau, and the first episode was born almost as a joke.
