    Summary

    The fact that six mercenaries and a weasel have stowed away on the highest-security vessel in the Dynasty’s fleet is, technically, a serious problem that bodes poorly for the rest of their journey. But Essek is delighted. He’d been dreading a long and tense voyage to Mutalos, without any company except for a skeleton crew comprised mostly of military personnel, the awkward spare scourger, and his—

    It feels strange, to think of Becke as his wife. Even calling her his enemy feels too intimate.

    (In which Essek agrees to a political marriage to ensure intergalactic peace and keep himself alive, only to discover that his wife has married him for exactly the opposite reason.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Summary

    Essek Thelyss comes to Soltryce to deliver guest lectures and, on the side, cultivate the brand new Archmage of Domestic Protections.

    Summary

    The curtain of bloodied hair moves as Verin tries to shake his head. “The gods have a cruel sense of humour if this is their idea of ferrying souls across,” he rasps weakly.

    “You’re not dead, you idiot,” Essek hisses out, even as relief washes through him at the sound of his brother’s voice.

    Verin perks up at that. His head tilts to the side and one blue eye peeks at Essek from behind his loose hair.

    “Essek? What in the Light…”

    (Or: Essek tries to rescue his brother. He ends up meeting Deirta instead.)

    Summary

    Everyone agreed that he'd been such a promising kid before he'd settled. But that hadn't lasted long: his soul had declared herself to be entirely the wrong sort of animal. He was not a home-loving house mouse; nor even a house sparrow, happily rubbing shoulders with his brothers; he was weasel-souled, and that meant an uncomfortable husband.

    Or,

    In a world where your soul is represented as an animal familiar, half-foots have mouse and sparrow souls - and are nearing extinction. Chilchuck Tims has a least weasel daemon. This is the first stone in a landslide.

     

    This a DaemonAU and standalone companion to His Delicious Materials. No prior knowledge of His Delicious Materials or His Dark Materials required.
