    Summary

    “Caleb,” Essek asks in an undertone, as they walk away from one window, its festive display festooned in so many colorful sparkling lights that the very sight makes Essek’s eyes water, “if there is something you want to buy, then why not just buy it?”

    “Too expensive,” Caleb demurs, the denial so prompt it cannot be anything but reflexive. “Besides, I don't need it.”

    Summary

    Casting helped distract from the memory of Laudna’s eyes looking at her in confusion, from Laudna, dreadful in her murderer’s mourning veil, from the smooth skin between her ribs where there should have been a jagged scar.

    Imogen didn’t know where she was. She had to focus on the where of it all, couldn’t contemplate the nagging fear that where should not be her greatest concern. She didn’t think about the unstable marvel of Ashton’s brain. She didn’t think about her body moving out of time with itself. To even consider it was impossible.

    -

    Imogen falls through a hole in the world and finds herself trapped with a wife who doesn’t know her, a future imperilled, and no way to get home. A time travel AU.

    Summary

    “I thought, you know, that because it was all over, Predathos and the dreams and— Laudna, I have so much control over it now, the voices and the magic, and I have the circlet. I really thought with the circlet— I thought that if I wasn’t in his head, that if he knew I wasn’t in his head, then maybe— Then maybe.” She doesn’t mean for her voice to sound so hollow. She doesn’t feel hollow, feels like it might all climb up her throat and spill out no matter what she does.

    Summary

    On their second trip into Aeor, Caleb and Essek just wanted to end a long, tiring day by curling up in bed together. Maybe in another reality.

    “Herr Shadowhand,” he intones as flat and long-sufferingly as possible while the curl of his mouth trembles traitorously, “I thought we agreed, no more arcane bullshit today.”

    If Essek were currently capable of speech he’d have something endearingly bitchy to say about that, no doubt.
