  4. Summary

    Pre-series erasermic snapshots, all from Mic’s point of view. They're ordered chronologically, but can in theory be read in any order.

    Work titles are all lines from ‘Oh, the Places You’ll Go!’ by Dr Seuss.

    (The place they are going, in this case, is marriage).

    Summary

    Nalis had not felt the weight of his own omissions so keenly since he had heard secondhand, weeks after his recovery, that the Archduke Maia’s entire household had been lost to plague, and that he was presumed as dead as they were– that he was missing, and that perhaps there would be a reward if he were found, and that there were men venturing into the Edonara to trawl for his corpse.

    The fact that Prince Idra had made the order a request– that he’d clearly realized he had no real recourse against Nalis if he refused– 

    Csevet was visibly horrified, stifling himself from correcting the emperor’s phrasing. Nalis caught his eye, trying to seem loyal and reassuring, and said to Prince Idra, “Serenity, we are entirely at your service.”

    Summary

    Csethiro broke abruptly free of the pack and came sweeping towards him with hands outstretched, probably hoping to do damage control.
    “Serenity,” she said, ignoring her father, who seemed to be wanting to prompt her like a conductor. “We are honoured to have you here.”
    Maia had very little experience with the specific social mortifications of an embarrassing family— his own having simply chosen to forget he existed— and it wouldn’t have been fair to make a judgement, but there was already an undeniable tinge of the ridiculous to the entire affair.

    (Awkward dinners are part and parcel of the Emperor's role... but the Ceredada really are spectacularly embarrassing.)

    Summary

    "No doubt thou didst melt the seal open on the steam vents to read the business of thy betters, planned how thou wouldst ingratiate thyself with the Archduke— oh yes, we know thy tricks…”
    Not the steam vents, thinks Csevet. It would wet the paper. The hot pipes, yes— but not the vents. He would only use a steam vent if he wanted to bleed the ink onto the external sheet and claim inclement weather, and that almost never can be gotten away with inside the court.
    Captain Orthema is saying Lord Chavar, leave Mer Aisava, but Csevet knows Chavar will not move for love or money now, not until he has said his piece.
    --
    Two attempts on the throne; and Csevet Aisava, in the shadows.

    Summary

    “Aha!” Csethiro sat up, displacing him somewhat abruptly. “Thou dost admit it, then!”
    “Admit what?” said Maia bewilderedly, trying to sit up—
    “That ‘tis my job to hate people on thy behalf,” said Csethiro magnificently, with a rather intense look in her eye that Maia did not entirely trust, even if he did rather like it.
    “I did not… quite say that…”
    “Let me deal with Mer Abrevar, husband,” said Csethiro— in a tone she obviously thought was measured, because she looked proud of herself. It was not measured. It was immense.

    Summary

    Makochi has a problem.

    Specifically, it has a runaway problem- in the form of a scrappy child who refuses to let anyone get close to him. No one knows where Sakura came from, or how he got here- he's wary of people and never sticks around for long. Bofurin has its hands full just trying to wrangle the eleven year old. But with time and effort, maybe they can slowly coax their latest stray into trusting them...

    (or: 11 year old runaway Sakura Haruka finds his way to Makochi, and slowly learns to trust people again.)
