    Summary

    Animals are adept at finding the easiest route through difficult terrain--the path of least resistance, which they trace again and again, finding safety in repetition and sameness.
    Theseus' path leads him to Elysium U, and Alpha Tau Nu, and...the Bull.

    Summary

    The Sufferer’s coup was a resounding failure. The Summoner’s, through freak chance, was a bloody and hard-won success. Hemo-discrimination is illegal, now, but old grudges die hard and the higher your blood the worse your chances of making it in the world. The classes that used to be ‘highbloods’ often fall through the cracks, and find work wherever they can get it.

    A story about a "concupiscent hire" walking Alternian streets under the rule of his Imperial Humility, the upheaval of an empire, and the whims of pure serendipity. (tumblr tag: A Heavy Heart>

    Summary

    With practiced ease Artemy cuts the ventricles free and lifts the heart from its cage. Still warm, he holds the prize out and for a moment he can pretend the pounding in his chest is coming from the organ he gingerly handles.

    Slowly, Dankovsky reaches out to take it, eyes confused, evidently feeling the tension in the air. When the heart is held safely in his hands, Artemy squeezes his own eyes shut and for one moment lets himself wish.

    He lurches forward and stands back up. Then he addresses the worms behind them: “Tell everyone it is done.”

    ---
    Artemy receives his inheritance on day one. Although some of the Kin aren’t happy with his return, it does make a few things easier – like when Daniil is caught performing an autopsy. Only, he wishes someone had told him what consequences marrying the man would have.

    Summary

    “If you're so good, why are you still here? Why didn’t you go back with the army?” Sticky asked.

    Because Burakh said ‘stay’ that night in the Broken Heart, Daniil thought indignantly. Because Artemy Burakh is an impossible man to refuse.

     

    Daniil had lost everything. Artemy had gained more than he ever expected. They take things day by day.
