    Summary

    This is a world in which Eshevis Tethimar has not attempted an assassination, but ruthlessly vies for power in other ways. With the early springtime of his reign behind him, Maia confronts the brutally high stakes of being an emperor and must learn to adapt or suffer the consequences. Csevet's past and present collide, and he finds himself ensnared in a game of imperial scale, with players who far outmatch him in power and influence.

    Summary

    This is based on ‘The Goblin Emperor’ - but from Csethiro Ceredin’s point of view - from Maia’s coronation onwards. I have given Csethiro’s sisters a little more shape and names, as well as a half goblin sword master to explain some things to Csethiro, but obviously they are my own inventions.

    It’s not finished yet - any suggestions welcome.

    Summary

    I wrote this piece to answer a few questions bopping around in my head:

    -- What would Celehar notice if he saw Maia again after some time in Amalo?
    -- Are there ghosts in the Untheileinese court, and if so, what would they be like?
    -- Can I please have a lot more Captain Orthema? He's hot as ****.
    -- When will A3 workers unionize?

    Anyway.

    This is a "mystery," or whatever we call Celehar living his Witness vel ama life.

    It takes place immediately after the last page of Witness but before Grief. It is a mystery with a slight horror edge, and as such has canon-appropriate mentions of monsters, suicide, and painful memories; but also warm blankets, good tea, pro-labor socialism, lurid novels, and the kindness of an emperor.

    Summary

    And in the morning, all would be the same as it ever was: Maia would knot his hair low and move about the house with eyes cast downwards, cringing and shuddering under his guardian’s bootheel for the rest of his mortal days. And the thought came to him, as cool and clear as a message dropped from the stars by holy Cstheio herself: If I stay here, I will never be a man.

    And with that new thought in mind, Maia bowed silently to his cousin, left the study without a backwards glance, and went to his room to pack.

    Summary

    Beshelar is in his smallclothes, towering over a shivering Mer Aisava, thunder in his brows and not a whit of self-consciousness. "Serenity?" he asks, and Aisava shakes his head, and this is how Cala begins the worst hour of his life.

    Summary

    It does not matter than his mistake was not his fault; he must face the lash even so. He is fortunate that his Captain is merciful, that he is never wrong, that he alone can set this right and release Beshelar from his guilt and his crime.

    Summary

    Once, and only once, he allowed himself a whimper. The sound echoed and echoed, childish and small, and he choked off the next sound before he fell apart.

    Instead he prayed.
