    Summary

    A brief history of Whitestone: In 805 PD, the Briarwoods arrived.

    There is, arguably, no more important a moment in its history beyond its conception and liberation. The discovery of residuum, the establishment of The Grey Hunt—none so definitive as the five-year span of brutality inflicted here.

    Except, perhaps, that in 790 PD, on the outskirts of the city, in the cold and twisted embrace of The Parchwood, a girl is born.

    This girl will not leave a mark on history, she will not be known as a hero or a scholar or even a martyr. Victim, people will paint her. Casualty. History will not remember this girl for her dolls or her love or her artistry. She will not be remembered for reaching out with her craft-calloused hands for more. They will not remember that more reached back.

    In 811 PD, one week before the city is saved by its rightful heir, this girl receives a letter. It is signed: Yours in Service, The Lord and Lady Briarwood.

    Summary

    "Winter’s Crest was in three weeks and it was occupying far too much of Caleb’s very precious brain space.

    This was not something that had ever caused him issue in his life before. Now, however, he had Jester Lavorre in his life. Jester Lavorre, who upon learning about Winter’s Crest was absolutely appalled that celebrating it had been withheld from her for so long and had demanded the Nein reunite for the holiday."

    or

    a very belated christmas* (*winter's crest) fic about the nein celebrating winter's crest, beau and caleb being best friends in their lovingly strange, emotionally stunted way (and also in a not so emotionally stunted way), and some sprinklings of plot about some long-dead dunamancy mages thrown in there too

    Summary

    “You are an odd duck Beauregard.”
    “No shit,” she takes another drink.
    “You talk about how strange and mysterious I am,” Caleb continues, “But you are worse than any of us I think.”
    “The fuck do you mean man?” She glares at him. She’s too buzzed to be patient enough for him to get to his point.
    “Lionett.”
    She freezes.

    Summary

    "The house they pulled up to was practically a mansion by normal person standards, the sort of thing you’d find in a Hallmark movie. Two stories for a single family, a colonial block of brick trimmed neatly with garlands, the dusting of snow across it lit up cheerfully in the dark of the night by the lights strung along the eaves. Orym heard Imogen’s soft inhale as they pulled up even from behind her in the back seat. He’d gotten so familiar with her over the making of their documentary, he could practically feel the shift in her.

    “Fuck.” She muttered under her breath. “The hell did I get myself into?”

    Orym was just as surprised as Imogen seemed to be that she’d agreed to this. He knew, of course, that his boyfriend’s big brown puppy dog eyes could get basically anything out of him, but Imogen, for all of her gentle softness, was about as strong-willed as they came. More than that, she was extremely reasonable, and given the fact that this plan was the most hare-brained thing he’d ever heard, it didn’t seem like the sort of thing she’d want to touch with a ten-foot pole."

    Or, the Dorym/Imodna Fake Dating Holiday AU nobody asked for.
