Summary
Cities are full of bright lights and shadows alike. Those that live in the light, the heroes, the 'good guys.' Those that live in the shadows, their grisly work only illuminated when the sun deigns to show its face again. Sometimes the shadows are too deep. Sometimes the spotlights are too much.
The Prince, Roman Prince, is the Golden Boy of the city. The newsreels, the cameras, the public adore him. But they don't see the winces when the bulbs go off right in his face, or whispers to be better, do better, perform better from the people that pull him aside after every daring adventure.
No one knows the name Janus, but they know his work. They don't shout, they whisper. They huddle together in the dark, searching for the light so as not to get caught in his coils.
But sometimes, when spotlights are too bright and shadows too flat, a little prince will make its way into the snake's den.

Summary
Virgil’s got a simple code when he’s not on a hunt. Don’t hurt whatever you don’t absolutely have to, and odds are, it won’t hurt you. Now and then there’s a bit of an, um, incident where that doesn’t quite work out as well as they’d hoped, but by and large they get by.
Or: 5 times Virgil helps a monster he was supposed to kill, and 1 time the monsters help him.

Summary
“It’s nothing. Just—” Caspian hesitates. “You should do that more.”
“Laugh?”
Caspian whispers, “Be happy.”
Peter is quiet a moment before he replies, eyes still closed, “I suppose the circumstances haven’t exactly allowed for that of late.”
There is a rawness to his face and the way he says it that reminds Caspian why both love and bruises are things that are called tender. But he does not draw away from Caspian’s hand, even as Caspian feels his pulse stutter, stumble, and speed by a hair.
“I think,” Caspian tells him softly, “they’re different, now.”
(or, a tenderness-centric series where the pevensies stay in narnia post-prince caspian.)
