Summary
She glanced down at her stomach, and he followed her gaze. Hesitating only for a breath, he touched the hem of her shirt.
“May I?” he asked softly. When she didn’t stop him, he lifted it just enough to see, crouching so his eyes were level with her waist. Bruising. Deep, ugly purple and red spreading along her side.
Bruises are easy to hide—until someone like Kai insists on seeing them, and insists even harder on helping.

Summary
All the people who had suffered, just so Selene could be found. Oh, how she hated Selene. Loathed her, even. It was always about Selene. About finding her, chaining her to a throne, irrespective of the damage it caused to others in the process.
Selene. Selene. Selene.
Stars knew what would happen when the world realized Selene no longer lived. That after the fire, only cinders remained.
In the ashes of revolution, Cinder is haunted by survivor’s guilt, the ghosts of the fallen, and the crushing fear that she’s not the queen her people need.

“No,” he said innocently. “I picked you up because I love you. The jealousy was just a bonus.”
It starts with a dance, a little jealousy, and ends — as always — with each other.

Summary
"I didn't think it would come to this," Cinder murmurs, not quite meeting his eye, and that's the way he will have it. Kai can't promise he'd have eyes filled to brim with tears.
"Stars, I didn't think it would be like this," Kai agrees, and it's there, this shared history they both share, the way it lingers in them, and the people around them. Kai wonders if it ever goes away. -

Summary
"He had loved Cinder, given her everything possible for him, but on the soft nights when he got lost in his desires and duty, he had come to realize, he didn't love Cinder anymore. He's just been unable to get rid of the life they had imagined together, and every time something monumental happened, this forbidden future would come to him, leaving behind a man, who had lost everything, but still continued to give to this idea."

Summary
"There were many days, good and bad, that Kai would remember from the past year. Meeting Cinder. Watching Cinder arrive to the ball, finding himself completely mesmerized by the intensely beautiful glamour she had somehow exuded. Being kidnapped (rescued!) by Cinder right before he was supposed to get married to Levana.
Okay, so most of the good ones were because Cinder was there. There was plenty of bad. Watching his father die from letumosis had been horrible. That period where he had been convinced Cinder was an evil Lunar. Every single interaction he ever had with Levana. Actually having to get married to Levana.
But today? Today was a glorious day. Cinder was about to be crowned as the queen of Luna."
The rebellion against Levana has succeeded; it is time for Cinder to be crowned as Queen. Kai can't help but be proud.
A Lunar Chronicles fic, inspired by Taylor Swift's "Long Live"
