    Summary

    Just as Maia and Csethiro were finally settling into married life as students at the University of Cetho, the Wisdom of Choharo came crashing down upon their newfound happiness. The viper's nest of the Untheleneise Court beckons - but Csethiro has no intention of backing down from this, or any, fight.

    (A love letter to the absolutely ridiculously fantastic archduchess by wizardcake.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The remarkably good *Archduchess* (see rec) ends when a courier comes to the door with a message about the Wisdom of Choharo.

    Our story continues, in that rare unicorn of a fic written as a sequel to another writer’s story and yet retaining all of the intensity and care of the original. Original fanfic? You get me.

    Come for Maia descending on the Alcethmeret with Csethiro and Csevet already at his side… stay to see what happens to the coup attempt. Fabulous.

    Summary

    "No doubt thou didst melt the seal open on the steam vents to read the business of thy betters, planned how thou wouldst ingratiate thyself with the Archduke— oh yes, we know thy tricks…”
    Not the steam vents, thinks Csevet. It would wet the paper. The hot pipes, yes— but not the vents. He would only use a steam vent if he wanted to bleed the ink onto the external sheet and claim inclement weather, and that almost never can be gotten away with inside the court.
    Captain Orthema is saying Lord Chavar, leave Mer Aisava, but Csevet knows Chavar will not move for love or money now, not until he has said his piece.
    --
    Two attempts on the throne; and Csevet Aisava, in the shadows.

    Amoral Csevet finds a truly good man to be his emperor. This is THE backstory for Csevet — how an ambitious, brilliant, scheming little scrapper hitches himself to as vulnerable idealist and, in doing so, starts to change the entire world.

    Canon-compliant — a brilliant example of writing in the interstices, exposing Csevet’s loyal network of spies and rumor-mongers, who become the backbone of Maia’s tenuous new administration. Bonus cameos from Cala and Arbelan.

    AU where Chenelo and Maia are relegated to Cethoree with Arbelan instead of to Isvaroë. You’re gonna want Kleenex. Just a gorgeous thing.

    Summary

    The emperor of Astandalas has a great banner wrought of fairy silk.

    The fae want it back, now that the empire has fallen.

    They might, perhaps, have miscalculated. But they have brought strange magics, and the only way the Last Emperor can protect his household - is with a kiss.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    There’s a FAE INVASION in the Palace of Stars! And more importantly, there’s the *aftermath* of a fae invasion in the Palace of Stars. Gorgeous hurt/comfort-y, fuck-the-taboos, Tor-has-a-hidden-past, Kip-has-a-protocol story with an immensely satisfying resolution.

    Summary

    Takes place after Volume 3 of HotE.

    To save his lord's life, Ludvic broke the taboos against touching the emperor. The magical consequences of this reach a bit further than expected.

    Cliopher, not ordinarily responsible for magical problems, finds himself part of an unusual solution.

    I mean, there’s a “fuck or die” premise, it’s gorgeously characterized, and nobody dies, so maybe jump on this one, but not at work. NSFW. Mind the tags!!
