    Summary

    Once upon a time, in the kingdom of Liyue, there lived a very sad and lonely Emperor. Though his kingdom was—

     
     

     

    “I was not,” objected Zhongli.

    “What? Yes you were.”

    “I was not.”

    “You were too. Everyone says so.”

    “I beg your pardon? ‘Everyone’ is hardly a legitimate citation.”

    “It is when they’ve all known you for centuries and they all say the exact same thing! Now quit interrupting, please.”

    “…Hmph.”

    “Right. As I was saying…”

    Summary

    "Now. Must I remediate basic survival instincts, as well? Stand up or get shot."

    Aventurine doesn't understand half of those words, but it doesn't matter. The gun speaks clearly enough.

    Kakavasha's riskiest gamble pays off, and he is hired by the Interastral Peace Corporation as Aventurine. A second chance at life, if he can survive it.

    Without a Synesthesia Beacon, every conversation is a puzzle, a bluff. The new Stoneheart has learned to fake fluency in the IPC's language, Universalis, the same way he learned everything else: through observation and context, by slipping through the cracks with charm and deception.

    That is, until Dr. Ratio cares enough to scrutinize him, and refuses to look away.

    Summary

    Napoleon Solo is in love with Illya Kuryakin. He knows it. Gaby knows it. Illya presumably does not know it, otherwise Napoleon would be dead. It's not just Illya's rejection Napoleon fears. The CIA and KGB would never brook their top agents canoodling with each other. And who the hell knows what Waverly will think.

    No, it's better for all concerned that he keeps his mouth firmly shut.

    Then a mission unexpectedly unravels, things spiral out of Napoleon's control, and all his best resolutions turn to dust.

    Summary

    Trusses of flowers, personalised letters and whole roast chicken had always been sure-fire ways to win a person's heart, at least in Arthur's experience. Merlin's heart, however, was an entirely different story.

    Summary

    “What’s ‘rakshak’?” he asks.

    Mama’s lips press together, but Papa smiles. “It’s fine, Faranak. The Akasha has a fully public entry on both…conditions. He may as well learn about it now.” Papa takes the clip from Mama, turning it over in his fingers, then looks at Kaveh. “Most countries call rakshak ‘Sentinels.’ You might say they’re the opposite of Guides.”

    “Bad?” Kaveh asks warily.

    Both his parents laugh. “No, no, sweetheart. I would say they’re more counterparts than opposites—here, let me bring it up,” adds Mama.

     

    ---

     

    Kaveh is a Guide, like his father. Alhaitham, a Sentinel not quite like anyone else. Born into a Land of Wisdom that cares little for those gifts, they must explore old hurts, find their way with or without each other...and have the courage to face their own reflection.
