    Summary

    Sometimes Martin envies type A people their extensive vocabulary of subvocalizations. They get to use their subvocal suite to communicate perfectly reasonable things, like back off and that's mine and hello sexy. Unlike Martin, whose subvocals exist for the sole purpose of making him sound like the biggest, whiniest baby. Especially when he's coming up on a heat.

    Martin keeps it under wraps as best he can, but there's only so long he can hold it in. So, sometimes, after a long workday, Martin double-checks that everyone else has left the archives, makes sure the door at the top of the stairs is locked, and lets loose a bit. Throws himself a little pity party. He's entitled to it. He's earned it.

    Specifically, it's the kind of pity party that involves relaxing the muscles of his throat, feeling the vibrating thrum building up behind his teeth, and exhaling out a mournful trill of hello? I'm here? Is anyone there? I'm here. I'm all alone.

    Summary

    Everything Aventurine said and did was to elicit another response with which he could construct his profile on Dr. Veritas Ratio. Naturally, Veritas left their first interaction as quickly as he could for his own safety.

    But he slept with Aventurine a week later.

    After Aventurine is hospitalized, Dr. Veritas Ratio moves to the Intelligentsia Guild’s Pier Point location to monitor his recovery. There, Veritas learns two things:

    1) He might need help navigating the social circles in Pier Point.
    2) A fully recovered Aventurine of Stratagems is a force to be reckoned with.

    Summary

    “Why come you to the realm of the dead?” Death asks, and Phainon doesn’t know how to answer.

    Because Aglaea sent him. Because an entire people rely on him for salvation. Because the Flame-Chase is failing in their duty to protect Amphoreus from the relentless progress of Castrum Kremnos’s war machine. None of those responses are good enough; Death will demand more of him—more truth, more vulnerability.

    “We need the crown prince of Castrum Kremnos to turn the tide of the war,” he says.

    To stop the advance of Eurypon's war machine on Okhema, Phainon descends into the underworld to bring the long-dead Mydeimos back to life.

    Summary

    Marketed as the ‘land of love’ to those smitten enough to fall victim, the prerequisite for entry upon the Terra Amoris is about as baffling as it is laughable.
    “—And somewhere along the way, we have to fake-date about it.” Aventurine adds wryly. There's no way to beat around the bush with this one. “An honourable role to play with you, if I may add. I was meaning to ask — does that mean I'm gonna get to hold your hand, doctor? Get a little cosy with you? I mean, we'll have to make pretty convincing lovers, right?”

    Investigating strange new terrain across the cosmos, Aventurine and Ratio travel to the enchanting planet of Terra Amoris, where posing as a couple is their only ticket to entry. But as they navigate the planet’s strange rituals and unsettling gazes, they begin to suspect that the promise of eternal love hides a darker secret.
