    Summary

    A series to contain Sam's various original works set in the "Shivadhverse". The stories center around the royal family of Askazer-Shivadlakia, "The little country by the sea", one of the few democratic monarchies in the world with Europe's only Jewish royal family. The series follows the lives of the newly crowned King Gregory III, his fiance the American celebrity chef Eddie Rambler, his father King Emeritus Michaelis and his partner Jes Deimos, Jes's son Noah, Michaelis's nephew Gerald the Duke of Shivadlakia, Gregory's maternal cousin the lady Alanna Daskaz, and various other friends and family.

    Fete For A King tells the story of how Gregory fell in love with Eddie while Gregory was supposed to be looking for a proper husband and Eddie was supposed to be catering his coronation.
    Infinite Jes explains how podcast journalist Jes Deimos and their son Noah came into the life of the retired king Michaelis, who wasn't looking for romance but found it anyway.
    The Lady And The Tiger finds the Lady Alanna Daskaz and His Grace Gerald, Duke of Shivadlakia, discovering new love while engaging in political intrigue (and occasional tiger-wrangling) abroad.

    Summary

    The worst part is that Nicky knows he's too old for this shit. A summer romance—that all-consuming passion crashing over you like a tidal wave and lasting about as long—is one thing for a teenager. But he's much closer to thirty than twenty at this point. He should damn well know better.

    Yet here he is, flat on his back in the late morning sunlight, his shoulders splayed halfway off the side of the bed, sheets rumpled beneath him and Joe's beard rough against the skin of his inner thighs, and it's the closest to God that Nicky has ever felt.

    (Modern!AU. Nicky's a bartender in Cinque Terre, Joe's a tourist just passing through, they fall in love. Because of course they do.)

    Summary

    "We worked as caravan guards before we came to Baghdad," Nicolò said, which was true enough, as far as it went. His hand rested easily on the pommel of his sword and he was smiling, a faint and casual enjoyment of his own assurance, and Yusuf loved him desperately.

    "Just like old times," Yusuf agreed, and tossed his bag over to the handlers on the barge.

    Nicolò looked over at him, his face suddenly, awfully, blank, and that was the end of that.

    In the wake of the Frankish conquest of Tyre, Joe and Nicky leave their settled home in Baghdad in order to help a friend. Naturally, things escalate from there.
