    Summary

    In the months following the end of the Blight, Rhys and Emmrich have settled into a comfortable new life together. But sleeping regularly again means dreaming more often. And for Rhys, that means the nightmares of his life before he became "Rook" return with a vengeance. Emmrich can't erase the past that caused them, but he can very thoroughly remind Rhys that he is safe and adored in the aftermath.

    About the archive warning: no graphic rape/non-con occurs "on screen", but it is discussed as something that happened in the past in vague detail.

    Summary

    Vorgoth had gone with Rook at 17 to the apothecary in Nevarra City where a healer had shrugged and told him it was easy and lots of Nevarrans did it. But it was permanent, she'd said with a look at him.
    That's the point, he'd said.

    Rook and Emmrich have an overdue conversation, but they're Nevarran. It takes at least a bowl of potato soup, several pomegranates, and Emmrich's calculations in front of Rook before he's willing to see it.

    Expanded conversation around the soft-lock romance commitment, including a more detailed conversation on gender and transition for Rook. TW: Dysphoria is never explicitly named, but Rook's thoughts and feelings are occasionally dysphoric.

    Summary

    To love was to care about someone else's life more than your own. It was knowing that without the other, you would never really exist as a whole again.

    Still, Emmrich was not afraid to love Rook. He was afraid of what it would mean should she love him back.
